brothers now residing in Kennebunk, Maine. A few
years ago both started for Calalornid, but one was ta

went on, and in a short time accumulated $3600,

THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE.— A recent traveler to
the Holy Land informs us that there is at the side of
the principal gate of Jerusalum, a small one, which;
*pon occasions of great urgency, was opened for ad
mission of persons after the great gates of the city
were closed for the uight. This gate, from its small
size, was call*a the Eye of the Needle ; and to get a
camel through it all was ho small task—for a loaded
camel to pass was an utter impossibility. With the
above fact before the mind, ode can see that the
words of our Savior, when speaking of tfefe "strait
gate" and the "rich man," were mote literal than
many suppose. And we see how, as the rich man
passes into the narrow way, the sides and the low
top of the strait gate scrape everything from him in
which he had betore trusted. No one can take any
thing but himself thfough. Far easier is it to strip a
camel ©f its burden, than to divest a rich man of his
trust in riches. — (J&ristiaA Register.
PLANTS IN SLEEPISG-ROOMS. —Daring the night
flants breathe out carbonic dcid and absorb oxygen,
'he breathing of plants is therefore at nighflike that
of animals; but we must not imagine that they con
taminate the air to the same extent. This is a very
popular, and at the same time a very great mistake,
it has been supposed that growing plants vitiate the
air of a sleeping-room inconsequence of the amont
of carbonic acid which they exhale, and thht they are
unwholesome and ought to be removed, especially
from the apartment of a patient. But allowing that
they give off carbonic acia and destroy oxygen, yet if
everything that does this is to be expelled then t.he
lamps must be removed, the lire put out, and all vis
itors at the same time.
Now although plants do absorb oxygen give ont
carbonic acid at night, yet in this instance the pro
cess of combustion is so Slight, that although evapor
ation has ceased, not the. slightest heat is produced
which is perceptible to the senses, or even to the
most delicate tests which science furnishes. The ab
surdity, therefore, of removing the plants is at once
seen. Let them alone 1 whether in flower or not
they are doing no barm, and will do good if the pa
tient is fond of flowers, —bring back the pleasant
memories of the bright sun, the clear blue sky, the
healthy breeze, of rambles in the field and ; they are
not foes, but friends. I love them. They have of
ten driven away sad thoughts. They will continue
to cheer me to the end of life's journey. They will
take up their watch by my head stone. No matter
if it is only a little groundsel, chickweed, or moss;
all are welcome, because all are beautiful! Woven
by the magic chemistry of Nature from earth and air,
colored by the distant sun, each is the work of an
Infinite Being, associated with the past and linked
with the future of an eternal universe; and natural
ists will puzzle themselves about the nature of their
chemistry, and try in vain to search out the gra nd
secrets of their vitality for ages yet to come, lis we
do now. — Once a Week.
INTERESTING ABOUT BEES. —Bees which, when
wild, make their nests in places totally dark, as in
the hollows of trees, are in the habit, when domesti
cated, of closing every aparture that can admit the
light into their hives, and will only carry on their
work in a dark piace. iSehnibler has just made an
extriordinary discovery, which, while explaining in
a beautiful manner ;hi3 characteristic of the bee*adds
another to the many striking examplifictions of that
inscrutable power of instinct which which so often
transcends reason to himself. Schnibler found that
clear strained honey, which, kept in the dark, remain
ed unchanged, when exposed to the light gradually
chrystalline and solidified, undergoing, through the
intluenee of the light, some molecular change, similar
to.that impressed upon the iodyne of silver of the
daguerreotype plate. The bee, therefore, in order
to preserve in the tluid form the nutriment it stores
up for its progeny, shuts it up in total darkness.
QUININE is now the king of medicines; and while
every one regards it as the most reliable and invalua
ble of remedies, there are many who think that with
quinine and opium they can treat ail diseases. The
demand is enormous, and the more especially if we
recall the rapidity with which tJbis younger sori of
medici ne has come into its rights, into this coun
try bark found its way for the first time late in the
seventeenth century : and in France it won its en
trance into the pharmacopoeia by curing Louis XIV,
being used then for him as a secret remedy, and on
the following conditions: 48,000 livres, 2000 livres
as a pension, and the title of chevalier. . The com
munication between French and English physicians
was not then complete or intimate, and so this mag
niiiceut price was obtained for Fallot's remedy,
which was only a vinous tincture of quinine commonly
employed in England. Louis XI v ordered its ad
mission into the pharmacopoeia; The sources of
quinine are, however, gradually failing under the
pressure of the enormons demand; and although the
British government in forming plantations of cincho
na trees in india have met witn success in an import
ant degree, yet the best kinds of quinine-bearing trees
are said not to have succeeded 60 well as the others.

THE MARRIED LIFE OF JOHN "WESLEY. —When
Wesley settled he said "It would be more useful to
marry." He married 4 widow, who, through her
jealousy, led liim a life of wretchedness and misery.
At last his spirit was up, and he wrote to her—■'Know
me and know yourseil. Suspect me no more ; pro
voke me no more; do not any longer contend for
mastery, for power, money, or praise ; be content to
be a private insignificant person, known and loved
by God and me. ' It was not likely that a Woman
would be pleased at being recommended to be au in
significant person. After twenty years of disquiet
ude ehe one day left him. He bore it philosopnieal
ly. He went even beyond it—he took his diary and
put the most pithy entry into itl ever met with in a
diary: "Non earn reliqui, uon detoisi, uon revoca
bo," which may be translated thus: "1 did not
leave her; I did not send her away; I shan't send
for her back." Aud so ended the married life of
John Wesley.
THOSE REMARKABLE INSTITUTIONS —The great Pub
lic Schools of England, have recently been submit
ted to the examination of a Parliamentary Comrni
sion,whose lately published report exhioits a states
of things curiously at variance with received notion.'.
So far from the mass of English gentry (who usually
are educated a: one or the other of them) being well
grcuuded in classical literature, it appears that any
such acquirements are a rare exception to the gener
al rule. At Eton, the most popular and wealthiest
of the Foundation Sshools, where eight hundred of
the flower of British youth are brought up, and
where the emoluments of the head master are be
tween thirty and forty thousand per annum, the
best that can be said is that a boy, if studious,
"is not thought the worse of on that account; but all
real influence and distinction in the school, are only
to be acquired by intense devotion to rowing or crik
eting. In fact, the great majority of the Eaton boys
are said to lead eday. pleasant lives, spending their
ume chiefly in the playing-field and on the river, and
not a little of it in the public houses and taps of the
neighborhood. Of Hhrrow School, where the re
ceipts of the master are even greater thau at Eaton,
the record is a'lrtue better, and at Winchester School
study is more regarded than ply, most of the hard
working clergy being educated there. At Wesimin
ster School, where Dr. BUSBY'S awful shadow stil
tules, it is stated that the system of "fagging" pre
vails so strictly that at the end of his first year a bov
cannot only have made no advance, but he must ne
cessarily know less than when hecanie. as the whole
of his time would betaken up with blacking shoes
lighting fires, A A, for the elder boys, so absurdly does
English conservatism cling to the worst abuses that
have age and precedent in their favor. The only
great schools that properly carry out their purpose
are declared to be two of minor consequence and rank
Shrewsbury and Rugby, and in these the impetus
toward good that yet survives are given to two dis-
Unguished men, formerly at the head of eaer. Dr
BUTLER and Dr. ARNOLD. It is noteworthy how the
influence of good, honest and conscientious work
dies not with Us originator, bnt continues a directing
and sustaining power. Under Dr. TEMPI*, the pres
ent able master of Rngby, the school is said to be a
model of diligence and,.efficacy, such as the fondest
hopes of Dr. ARNOLD rejoiced to anticipate.

Every gentleman who possesses or cares for horses
would do well to keep this book in his house. Mr. May
hew's treatment o'f the worst diseases to winch horses are
liable is very clearly laid down and tho method of kcop
ing horses well and to a prolonged old age, is that of na
tu're, of common sense.
[From the Ers'J
No one with the least equine knowledge can reqniro Jo
be told that Mr. Mahew is the man for the task which lie
has undertaken, and most satisfactorily accomplished.—
His high reputation jn the veterinary art, and his qualifi
cations as a practiced writer on domestic animals, retder
him the very person for supplying an intelligent anl in
teresting work on the diseases of the horse, which would
be devoid of mere professional localities, while, at the
same time, his skill as a draughtsman, and humor,as a
witty observer of life, enabled him to illustrate witil his
pencil what he had written with his pen. We advisedly
say that "The Illustrated Horse Doctor" is the very best
book of the kind, which we know; ind what gives .it an
essential charm Is. that the author so thoroughly sympa
thizes with the noble animal which he describes . . .
We at once pronounce it as scientific, yet intelligible ; in
forming, yet highly amusing; acceptable to the profound
horse doctor, yet the work of all others for the book shelves
in every gentleman's sanctum. ... Wo give it our
unqualified approbation and recommendation.

fiery excitant; hot It is a combination of the
rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and

It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so f v ,
human system can be protected by human means
maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, m
pure water and other external causes, Hoetetter'a Bitter
may be relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever ami Ague, It has httn
found infallible as a preventive and irreeistable as a rea
edy, and thousands who resort to it 'under apprehend,
of an attack, escape tho scourges and thousands whonsj.
lect to avail themselves of its protective qnalitios in ad.
vance, are cured by a very brief coiirse of this marvels,
medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being
with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturate
with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently rv
stored to health within a few days bythb use of Eoitst

The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the pp.

wonders in coses of Dispepsia andih less confirmed form
indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves ti,
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of tbssi
gestive and secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous Attach, Low.
ness of Spirite, and Fits of Languor, find prompt and per
manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this
point is most conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Billions Colic is immediately assuaged j
a single dose of the Stimulant, and by occasionally resort
ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented.
As a general Tonic, Hostetteris Bitters produce effeeti
which must bo experienced or witnessed before they tu

tirely free from the acid elements present more or leu is
in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been so uniVetxaily, and it xi)
