continued to;paste her,ser^p-bo,qk.M

older brother who pities a sister’s ignorance.
‘Why, to think I’pi put on the question instead

‘Of course not, child.; Question reads:
“ Resolved, Tliat the fear of punishment has a
better effect on mankind than the hope of re

the reverse, mincß you; but when we ! make
speeches, wo do it for the sake of argument,you
.see.'
: ' Do; we ?! laughed Rose. AYAH I suppose
the fact is, you want mo to help you write your
speech—that is what you were goitig to'say,
Isn’t it. • /
‘Mo ?’ said Y T ill, in dignified amazement.
‘Great help you would be ! You can write

certain ‘eo'thposifio’ta’ whichnad’ been wrench

Will locked himself in the library, and tried;
to eolleet ; his thoughts. In thecourseof an hour,
the exultant expression had left his face ; he be
gan to loolt.ptfezeled, . .V'irt ;
.‘0 bother this writing !’ sighed he, ‘I can’t
piece the sentences together withoutmaking an
ugly seam. If I could only get a start, now!
It’s like a spool of thread ; if you begin right, it
will unwind ever so easy—but I can’t get hold;

looking rather sheepish, ‘you girls have the;

RosO kindly refrained from saying ‘ Just as I,
expected,, and took tho pencil and paper* from,
her brother with a pleasant smile.
‘Now,’ said Will, greatly relieved to find he
was not being laughed at, ‘ I want the speech

‘Well, William Lawrence,’said Rose in des

ed l You’ve been chasing some great ideas
ajiout till you’re dizzy, that’s what it ,is. . .-Now
sit down, and let’s talk about it awhile before
we begin.’ ' . .
Will obeyed in a humble state of mind, very
much ashamed of himself for Appealing to Rose,
| who was only a girl, and did hot understand
! %ie> jet very grateful to her, after all.
Fortunately, she seemed to understand his
confused ideas far better than he did, and in due
time they had composed what Will regarded as
: a sensation speech, commencing with ‘Mr.
President,’ and ending with a few lines from
i; Milton.
: . - N uW. Rose,’ said Will, ‘that’s just about the
, thing! But I found the ideas, didn’t I ? I’ll
learn It by heart, and see if I" don’t "deliver it
with a grand flourish. There’s a great deal, you
know, in the gestures. It’s enough to make
you ache, to see how stiff kmie of the fellows
stand, when; they speak! .They get scared I
suppose. 8 ’; ' ’
' Bht Will exulted too soon. People are very
brave, before they ever have a tooth, out, and
boys are very brave before .thev haveever tried
*6 spkak in public. ' :
Will thought he was not afraid' of anything,
but when called out to speak, he felt as if the
joints in his body had all turned, to hard wood,
and wouldn’t bend. He. heard a suppressed
titter from the little 1 boys, anti’the eyes of the
audience seethed to prick through his neryes like
needles. Everybody took a savage pleasure in
his misery, that was plain. oto think he should
have ever laughed at boys for being stiff, when
they couldn’t bend l
He” made his bow to the wrong side, and
turned his back to the President.
‘Mr. President,’said he in a whisper, turning
right about face. ‘Mr. President—Sir,’repeated
he, in a hoarse voice; that sounded to him as it
it came from some other boy’s throat. ;
‘Mr Lawrence, ’ replied the president, smiling
encouragingly. ' ; ,
But if Will had bejen trying'; to get possession
of a,rainbow or a flash of lightning, he could
liavocaught dither of them as soon as oneyvonl
of his speech. Whither had it fled ?: ’//Five
minutes ago hie had it by heart. ' ',.
' Mr. President, ’ he, began in desperation.
‘ I will ask to.be excused;’ thought the poor boy,
• and then rush out of the house, and hide where
nobody will ever setdyes on me again. But Rose,

said ‘ Don’t give, up,/ Will. ’ She ( did hot, seem

sensuality, the women, with but few exceptions,
shrinking from the gaze of the stranger, as if
fully alive to the false and degrading position

the following as a;few of the bodily peculiarities

FREE INSTITUTIONS IN AUSTRIA.
Austria is the only great power- which has
adopted Tree institutions not in consequence of
an irresistible pressure from without, but with
the hope of restoring through them prosperity
and dignity to a State reduced to a humiliating
condition of financial penury and distress.. Nor
is freedom any stranger to the soil of Austria.
Many of its .provinces .were,, ,kingdoms;riand:
possessed charters when the great,monarchies of
Europe were pure despotisms.;
ancl it Is especially remarkable that two countries
so widely.separMed, ftnfl |io]sspssmg subh different
national characteristics as England and Hungary,
should have obtained - their liberties at the same
time, tyhjt onq in; 1215, . tye/other /in; 1222.)
Hungary, Transylvania, and Bohemia possessed
constitutions whileotherprovinces were governed
absolutely, although there existed, even in these:
kingdoms corporate bodies endowed, with exten-;
sive municipal: privileges. The / Dibits were~not;
representative 'assemblies, but .privileged corpo
rations to whieh: itnany'usefuh powers bad been
conceded at different times; but these powers
neither gave,'them a direct abate in the adminis
tration, nor made their consent necessary for the
imposition The reforming Emperor,
Joseph 11., discontinued' the/sittings of the pro
vincial Dints, and administered the affairs of the
provinces without their 'aid 1 :/a. measure which it
is,said, did. not diminish his popularity. ~ His
-successor’ Francis partially restored them;, but

the, government,,, - ,Moperimpo/rtanee has since

licThe .constitution Af - the Austrian
Empire is..; adapted'/to satisfy,- tbe, .provinces,., by
f;iving to. them a very .large amount of municipal
h’dipetiddHce' /.' The'pbpular. bfanch of the legis
lature, .i it < .may be , termed, the : Austrian
House (Of,. C.o;rumpus, f is; in,vested/with almost all
the powers that a representative assembly ought'
to possess in order to exercise a proper influence
] in a constitutional State, namely, the right of
! voting supplies ; -of curtailing, if necessary, the
| public estimates, together with a.general super*
] intenden&eover-iKe fiuahces’ofitheempire. The
; power of the purse, the - most important element
: of the British-constitution, andVliich practically
i places the executive'ip subordination to a repre
: sentative ( , assembly, has, . bieen,/apparently fully
conceded in' Austria.’ It' is a common power
without which free institutions are a mockery,
and a constitution only a name. The loyalty of
the Emperor of Austria to the institutions which
he has granted to his people. presents a strong
contrast to the reactionary policy into which the
. Prussian monarch has been recently unhappily
misled. While everything in Austria inspires
confidence in the .future, and the people vie with
each other in devotion to the throne (for even in
Hungary gll classes professperspnal devotion to
their Kiiig,)'.]in Prussia,the open violation of the
constitution/ has placed the, Sovereign,ig a, state
of most dangerous antagonism to his, subjects,
and a crisis appears tope impending which must
terminate either in the total-subversion of free
dom or in the profound humiliation of .the Crown.
The House of Lords in the constitution of the
Austrian Reiebstrath will largely contribute to
the strength and splendor of the State. Austria
fortunately possesses, the elements of this’great
institution iu a perfection unknown iu any other
continental: kingdom Princes Of' the Imperial
houSe, worthy from tlieir character and attain

commoners chosen for tlieir eminent virtues and
abilities, who have been 'made' peers or council

lect, will probably bear a comparison with any
senate in Europe. The sixteen local Diets hold
their annual sessions in the provinces; l /And',

When the corn is injgood condition for dating,
the grains being fullyjgrown, boil a quantity of
ears just .enough to co|fc the staVch/'itbd-then let
them cool and dry a fewliburs, and'then shell] or
cut off the grains and spread them.in the, sun
till dried. .The best wpy'to dry the coniiis to nail
a piece' of cloth of very open texture on a 1 frame,
which if two feet widi, and five long, will be of
a convenient size to handle. ‘ If the corti/is spread
thinly upon this clotß it will dry quickly, with
out . souring. , It should be covered with a piece
of mosquito netting toYeep off the flies.’/ Ano
ther person gives''the j following directions ! for
drying; sweet' corii k As soon as the' corn is fit
for, the table, busk apfl spread the ears,, in an
oven, or some quickly drying place. When the
grains loosen- shell thetcorn,.or shell as soijn as
you can; l Then spread] upon a cloth to dry'in
the sun, or on paper iq;a warm oven; stir often
tligt it may /dry quickly ’and not overheat. It
more resembles the uriflried.-by its being whole;
is:sweeter, and retains jbaoVe of its natuaral flavor
by drying faster. W hpn wholly dried expose it
t<V the'wind by turning it slowly from dish to
djsh; the wind blows off all the troublesome
whitechaff.” ’

From Emery Edcs, a well Renown merchant of Oxford,

I nave sold large quantities of your Sarsaparilla,
out never yet one bottle which failed of the desired
effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As
fast as ourpeople try it, they agree there has been no
medicine like it before in our eommunity.”

( From Rev. Kobt. Stratton, Bristol, England.
I -only do my duty to you and the public, when I
add my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal
virtues of your Sarsaparj li.a. . My daughter, aged ten,
had. an afflicting,humpr in her ears, eyes, and hair for
years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your
Sarsaparil||a, She has been well forsome months.?'
From Mrs. Jane E, Rice, a well-known and much-es
teemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co,, N..T.
My daughter bas suffered for a year, past with' a
scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome.
Nothing afforded any relief until'we tried your Sarssl
'pabilla, which’shim completely cured her.”
From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known
Gage ; Murray &00., manufacturers of enamelled pa
pers m Nashua, N- H
. “ I had for several years a very troublesome humor
in my face, which grew constantly worse; nntil it dis
figured my features and became, an intolerable afflic-
I tried almost every thing a man could of both
advice and medicine, but without any "relief whatever,
until I took your Sarsaparilla. : It immediately made
my face worse, .as you told me it might for a time l : but
in a fewiweekstbe.new skin began to .form under-the
blotches, and .continued until.my face is as smooth as
"any body’s, and I am without any symptoms of the
disease that I know of. X,enjoy perfect healthy and
without a doubt owe it to your Sarsaparilla.”

From,Dr. Robt, Sawin, Houston St., New York.
Dr. Aver.- I seldom fail. to remove Eruptions
and Scrofulous Soreb by the persevering use of your
Sarsaparilla,: andjl 1 have just now;eured an, attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we
possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have supplied to
the profession as well as to the,people.” .. ,
From J. E. Johnston, Esq.;,-Wakeman. Ohio. ;
. “For Iwelve years, I had the. yellow’Brysipelas oh
my right afmj 'dnririg which tiihe I tried all the cele
brated physicians I conld reach, and took hundreds of
dollars worth of niddicines. The ulcers were so bad
that the cords became visible, and the,doctors decided
that my arm must be amputated. I began’takingyour
Sarsaparilla, Took two bottles, and some of your
Pills. Together they have cured me. lam now as
welland sound as any body. ~ Being in a public place*
my case is known, to every, body in , this community,
and excites the wonder of all.” ,
From Ho n. Henry Monro, M.P., of Newcastle*
C. W. , a leading member of the Canadian Parliament,
“ I have used your Sarsaparilla jn my family, for
general debility , and for purifying the 1 blood, with very
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it
to the afflicted,”
St. Anthony's lire, Bose, Salt Rheum, Scald
, Head, Sore Eyes,
’ From Harvey Siekler, Esq., the able editor of the
Tunkhaunock.Democrat* Pennsylvania. ,
“ Our only child, about three years of age, was at
tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome and .virulent sore,
which covered his face, and actually blinded his eyes
for some days! A skilful physiciah applied nitrate
of silver and other’remedies, without any apparent
effect. 1 For fifteen days we guarded his bands, lest
with them he should tear open the festering and cor
rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having
tried .every thing else we had any hope from, we'began
giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying, the iodide of
potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal
when, we had given .the first bot tle, and- was well when
we hadjnished the second; The child’s eyelashes*
which had come out,, grew;.' again* and' he is now as
healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor
hood predicted that the child must die.”
Rheumatism, Gout, iLiver Cdmplaint, Dyspep

■ Although not disposed tofavoror recommend Patent Mefieioes in
general, through distrust of tfaeir ingredients and effects; I yet know
of no sufficient reasons why a man.* may not testify to. the benefits he
believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others;
1 do this more readily in regard to Hoofiand’s German Bitters, pre
pared by Dr. C. H. Jackson, of this city, because X was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the impression that they were
chiefly an alcoholic mixture; 1 am indebted to my. friend Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper teste,
and for encouragement to try them, when Suffering from great and
long-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at
the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief; and
restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had sot
frit for six mouths before, and had almost despaired of regaining, I
therefore thank God wad my friend for directing me totheuseof them*
