It rained all night the day I tell,

The sun in hot I froze to death—
Oh! brothers! don't you cry;
Oh! Califoruia:
That's theleod for me! -

With my wash-bowl on my knee !
I Jumped aboard the.'Llza ship,
An' travelled on the sea,
And every time I thought of home
I wished itwas n't me I
The vessel reared like any boron
That had otoats a wealth ;
It found It coulent (brow ine, so

Dear brother!, don't you cry :
I soon shell be In Francisco,
And then HI look all 'round,

I'll pick them of the ground.
I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys,

"None of that sir—it won't do with me—pay

The stranger remonstrated—the landlord kick

"You will repent this," acid the stranger.
The landlord did repent it. •
Three weeks from that day, punctual to his

The landlord looked very fool:sh, the stranger
,nailed, and held out his hand

The landlord made a thousand apologies for his
rudeness
"So many swindlers about, there's no knowing
who to trust; hoped the gentleman would pardon

"Never mind, landlord; but come, let's have

"Waiter what is to pay

including the former account."
"And hallo croWn for yourself—" ;
"Make two pounds twelve shillings 'and nine.

"Say two pounds thirteen shillings," said the
stranger with a benevolent smile, "and call in

(Enter landlord; smiling and hospitable.) ,
"sorry you are going so soon sir.
The stranger merely said, with a fierce look;
•"Lowed you seventeen and sixpence, three weeks
ego, and you kicked me out of your house for it."
The landlord began to apologise.
"No words sir ; II owed you seventeen and six.
pence and you kicked me out of the house for it
I told you you would be sorry, for it.
I now owe you two pounds thirteen shillings—
and you must pay yourself in a check on the

of two maiden tidies of uncertain age, whose
ideas of propriety, - end all that sort of thing, were

of "Practical Mensuration." A familiar acquaintance

Mr. Ticknor—Dear Sir have examined your book
entitled the "Colombian Calculator," and can say I am
much pleased with it/ contents. It combines great Pe ,
spicuity of arrangement with originality and excellence
of matter. Long theoretical explanations, useless to
young students, and all else not highly practical and
useful is wisely excluded from its page•. I think it
well calculated for all primary schools. The work it
self beara evidence of the ability and ex peTienca of its
author; and to those who may have occasion to use or
examine it, it will be its own best recommendation.

[From the Easton Sentinel
Mr. Editor:—The acquisition of the science of num
bers; as arithmetic is called, is one of much importance,
and occupies the "going to school," time of our juve
nile existence. In acqUiring this knowledge, books are
necessary, although In teaching, a teacher should not
confine himself entirely to them, but oral instruction
should he resorted to. We have a great variety of sys
tems of arithmetic In use, but for the most part, they
are not exactly what I think an arithmetic should be:—
as wind In its juvenile state has to grapple with this
science, it should be made as Interesting as possible. It
should be devoid of all extraneous, or irrelevant matter,
—simplicity should be the principal feature.' By sim
plicity, I do not Intend mental calculations, figures of
birds, apples, marbles, &e.,—seeing little arithmetical
knowledge can be gained, Ant by the use of the slate.
The different rules should he stated as briefly as possi
ble, and In language that the scholar, with a little help
from the teacher can easily comprehend. The exam
ples under each rule should be as varied and as practi
cal as possible. and the Monist. CUatiescv of our
country. so far as the practical part is concerned,ehould
prevail to the exclusion of all others. I ant prompted
to these remarks by the appearance of a new work on
arithmetic, called she ' - Colombian Calcuiator,? by A.
Ticknor of this place. This book meets my views of
what an arithmetic should.he, better than any I have
ever seen, indeed I do not see much room for improve
ment. Mr. Ticknor has also lately published a small
book or arithmetic for beginnere, which in my opinion
is admirably adapted as an initiation to this study, and
will be the moat popular work of the kind ever pub-
The two together forming a complete system
and better adapted to the use of American citizens than
anything else.
If recommendations are any proof of superior merit,
then surely Mr. Tielsiork work stands unrivalled. for,
no work a the kind can compare with I:In this respect,
either for numbers or weight. The'author has labored
hard and long In efiecticig his object. and deserves well
of the community. and I true he will realize In the sale
of his work, that pecuniary compensation which he cer
tainly merits. N

Mr. Editor t—llaying been for several years engaged
us a teacher, and being persuaded that it is a duty incum
bent upon those whom occupation it is to Impart Maroc
don to youth, to examine. recommend and encourage the
vale of such books as are best calculated to promote the
object for which they labor, and erring a notice in the
Register recommending A. Tickner's "Youth's Columbian
Calculator," and also its ..system of Decimal Arithmetic,"
I was induced to examine them, in order to ascertain
whether or not they possessed advantages superior to
those works on the subject already in use.
The "Youth's Calculator." Is, in my opinion, a book of
intrinsic merit, and decidedly preferable twiny other that

useful practical example* . for solution, ail adapted to,tbe
capacities of youth; than any other book on the subject
that I base seen. 'lt avoids both extremes. The questions
are neither too puerile nor too abstruse. This book is
intended for youth, not for infants. It leads the young

advances, and lays a foundation on which ho may erect
the most gigantic structure, It needs but to bo.Carefully
examined by the intelligent teacher to Ito appreciated,

The "Decimal Arithmetic," too, possencsmabyadvan

there are a great variety, are strictly of a practical bust.

ordinary transactions of life.

of reducing terthings to Pounds and pounds to farthing.,
Is not to be performed, thereby economizing much of the

Having crammed the system of arithmetic by A.

as well as presenting the science In a plain and concise

Mr. Editor:—The grand object in a course of elertten
tary education should ever be, the securing a Mae and
permanent foundation. It is selfevideni, that If this
col id foundation be not secured, the future tatter of the
teacher will become comparatively valueless, and the
standard of the pupils' attainments necesaarily super
ficial. The well-educated teacher will claim little sym
pathy with those of his profession. who, in order to se
cure an Vanescetit fame for his schbol, will hastily rear
asuperstructnre that 'halibut sand for its foundation.
It is eminently doe the young scholar., and due the
teacher himself, that bo should advance them by a grad
eat and sere process of instruction. He will commence
with the ;rimer; elements in the various departments
of useful study, and "rooting and grounding" them well
in those elements, he will proceed gradually, laying.
broader and deeper the, foundation of their education,
until he has prepared the way for the up-rearing of an
elegant,efflcient and permanent superstmcture.

that a cure for consumpilon would be discovered soon

SHEEHAN'S ALL-HEALING BALSAM.
Mrs. ATTREE, the wife of Wm 11. Attlee, Esq. was
given up by Dr. Sewal of Wastungton, Drs. Roe and
McClellan of Philadelphia, anti Dr. Mott of New York.
Her friends all thought she must die. She had every
appearance of being In consumption, and was so pro
nounced by her paysicians—Shernian's Balsam was
given and it cured her.
Iles. HENRY JONES, 10e, Eighth avenue, was
cured of cough and catarrhal affection of SO years
standing. The first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicine he had ever takes. Dr. L. J.

of poisonous agents introduced into the blood, no one
will deny, and that these diseases age due to the action
of some morbillic matter, which has affected both its

lead to Is forcibly sketched by Dr Williams: "The ap
