A Presbyterian church was organized -
few years since, in-Peterebtirgkethe prounty:
seat of Pike 'County. 'Tbere was , truly very
little of Presbyterian elegient' to . ;be
in the wltifieirekien; for mike' ardurid.,
whole field had been thoroughly l isown:Vith
Arminianism. At se..egrly- day, ,the
ties of Cumberlandism:hadcome across , the
Ohio, frnin'Southern Kentucky; and had, in ,
a great ,measure, possessed, tbemselveo of.
the country. In this -I Ao.not:,,at, find
fault with them. Indeed, their energy and
devoted zeal are worthy of imitation by
others, and, no doubt, good was done by
their labors. Next, our Methodist brethren
entered, and labored with their accustomed
earnestness and energy of purpose. They
sowed extensively, and they have also
reaped abundantly. There are also one or
two other forms of Arminian faith, though
feeble in organization, together with some
Baptists. I presume that for the first thirty
years after the prime settlement, scarcely
one Presbyterian sermon had been preached.
A high-wrought style of rant and denuncia
tory outpourings, accompanied with fierce
invectives against "learning to preach,"
44 College' ktrain," eta , characterized the
effusion of the preacher, in but too many
instances. Of course, the difficulties in the
way of our Church, were by no means
trifling. The writer was the first Presby
terian minister settled in this place, and he
has been patiently laboring all the while,
sometimes seeming to hope against hope.
But in the midst of all these difficulties,
our church, oueservices, our doctrines
have exerted no small influence. We have
a respectable and commodious house of wor
-ship, free from debt.
Other and inviting fields have been of
fered to me since I have been laboring
here, but I do not feel willing to abandon a
field to which I have already given consid
erable labor; toil that would, to human
judgment, all be lost, if I were to leave at
present. lam consequently anxious to see
some portion of the stream of Presbyterian
emigration directed hither. Having some
knowledge of the matter, -I do not hesitate
to affirm, that South-Westernndianeis the
beet portion of the State as to its natural
advantages and resources. It will bear
comparison also with the famed North-West,
that Elysium of excited inaginations, where
wild speculation has done its work of ruin
for so many.
But Presbyterians wish to know some
thing as to the state of education, and the
privileges to be enjoyed in ' this respect.
Formerly the state of 4.ings was very low, con
fessedly,ap might be easily conjectured. Nor
is it yet, by any means, what it ought to be.
But there is evident improvement and ad
vancement in public sentiment. A longing
for something more thorough and expanded
in the instruction of the youth, begins to
show itself. The writer of this article, in
addition to his ministerial labors, conducts
an Academy in Petereburgh, in which sev
eral teachers are employed. In this insti
tution, advantages for the higher order of
female education are furnished, as well as
provisions for a good Academic course for
boys.
We, therefore, feel safe in inviting emi
grants to divert a littl l e from the ordinary
line of travel, and examine a section afford
ing all facilities to be desired, and contain
ing vast resources as yet but slightly de
veloped. I will, in another article, ask the
privilege of referring to the - character of
this section - -as to health and morals,
and to one or two other questions. 'I re.

MESSRS. Ertimus :—The cause of tem

ture to introduce myself to you by making a
few suggestions on that subject.
The-moral and political evils of intemper
ance have been long since sufficiently
cussed. The matter now in hand is.to de
vise a remedy.
I think it useless at the present time -to
expect• any positive, legislation on the -sub
ject. During the ascendency of the "Know
Nothings" in the Legislature of 1854, a res
trictive law was passed, upon which they
were assailed with the utmost - bitterness du
ring the next canvass, and defeated, and
their temperance law repealed in 1855.
They lost •thousands of votes .by (laser
tion to the " Liquor League," without gain
ing one, so far as my observation extended,
from the friends of temperance in the oppo.
site party. The " Know Nothings" have
now gone to the shades, and are numbered
among those things which have been. The
party which has succeeded them, having
'been organized for a specific purpose, will
not embarrass their action, and endanger
their success, by any side issue, hoWever
portant.
These things being well known to all men
conVereant with the politics of the day, it is
useless to expect anything like an en
dorsement of temperance an' a political mess
ure from either. of the parties now in the
Neither is there the remotest chance
for - building up a new party on temperance
principles until,there is a lull inahe present %
storm, which may not occur for = several'
years.
There still remains some things which we. I
can do, however, . and. one of them is a plan
which may be denominated "Popular S 6 e
ereignty applied-ta the-retailing -of—Ardent
Bpsrits." It is contained in a resolution
which I presented at a temperance meeting
a short time ago, and which, after some dis
cussion and explanation, met' with general
approval. It reads as follows :
liesolved, That we petition the mit legislature

I remain yours, truly,
J. M. OLIPHANT.
It is better for you to pass an evening
once or twice in a lady's drawing-room, even
though the conversation is slow, and you
know the girl's song by heart, than in a
club,' tavern, or the pit of a theatre. All
amusements of youth to which virtuous wo
men are not admitted, rely -on it, are dele
teriousin their nature. All men who avoid
female society have dull perceptions and are
stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt
against what is pure. Your club swaggerers,
who are sucking the buts of billiard cues all
night, call female society insipid. Poetry
is insipid to a yokel; beauty has no,charms
for a b'ipd man ; music does not please a
poor beast who does not know one tune from
another; and as a true epicure is hardly
ever tired of water, roast, and brown bread
and butter, I protest I can sit for a whole
night talking to: well regulatedi kindly wor

at Eton, and like the evening's entertain.
ment. One of the great benefits a man may
derive from women's society is, that he is
bound to be respectful to them. The habit
is of great good to your moral man, depend
uponit. Our education makes of us the
most , eminently selfish men in the world.
We fight for ourselves, we push for our
selves, we yawn for ourselves, we light our
pipes and say we won't go out; we prefer
ourselves, and our ease; and the greatest
good that comes to a man from a woman's
society is, that he has to think of somebody
to whom he is bound to be constantly' atten
tive and respectful.— Thackeray.
Young,man one of the first things you
have to consider is to build up a character.
Allow Us to tell you one thing about;it,
which we have learned from observation.
It must. ,be- built , like . a pyramid, ',to
be firm and lasting—broad at the hallo.
Then the foundation must be good, or even
a pyramid would crack and ,fall to pieces.
Get' s' reptitation : from early boyhood, for
truth, honesty and industry, obedience to
parents and teachers, and above all, piety.
By and by your character will be as firm as
a pyramid; a host of calumniators' could
not overthrow it. But if youth and early
life is bad, to build a character on such a
beginning, would be almost as difficult as
to build and poise a pyramid on its apex.
Once in a happy home, a sweet, bright
baby _died. -- On - ,threvening of the-ilay;
when the children gathered around their
mother, all sittinelery sorrowful, Alice, the
eldest, said—
" Mother, yeti took:all the care of the

held, her in your arms all the while she was
ill ; now, mother, who took her on the other
side!"
" On the other side of what, Alice ?"
" On the:other :side.of death; who took
the baby on
~the other side, mother ? She
was so little she could not go alone."
" Jesus met: her, there," answered the
mother. gg It• is he who took little children
in his arms to bless them, and said, g Suffer,
them to comennto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of- heaven! He
took the baby On the other. side." '

A Consistent Mother.
Some ladies having met at the house of a
friend, the child of one of them was guilty
of rude, noisy conduct, very improper all
occasions, and particularly so at a friend's
house. The mother kindly reproved her,
"Sarah, you must not do so.
The child soon forgot the reproof, and be
came as noisy as ever. The mother said
firmly, "Sarah, if you do so again, I will
punish you."
But not long after 'Sarah did so again.
When the company were about to separate,
the mother stepped into a neighbor's house,
intending to return for the child. During
her, absence, the'thought of going.horne re
called to the mind of Sarah the punishment
which her mother told her she might expect.
The recollection turned her rudeness and
thoughtlessness into sorrow. A young lady
present observing it, and learning the cause,
said, "Never mind, I will ask your mother
not to punish you." " Oh," said Sarah,
" - that will do no good. My mother never
tells falsehoods !" -
Agricultural,
The Toad at his Repast.
*Few of our readers, most probably- have
ever observed the' toad at' his repast. It is
performed with electric rapidity, and with
more than telegrammic precision. The
tongue is doubled back upon itself and is
tipped with a glutinous secretion. The 0:10•
ment the beetle comes within range the
tongue is shot forth with an unerring aim,
and quick as lightning the captive is with
drawn. They are invaluable in a garden.
M. Jeshe, in his gleanings, complains of
gardeners destroying them, of savagely cut
ting them, in two with their spades. We
hope net.. Horticulturists of such "gross'
ignorance" ought themselves to be extirpa
ted. The beauty and vigor of our flower
border we have long ascribed, in a measure,
to a select family of toads, which we tender
ly protect, and some 'of which have now
reached a patriarchal age. M. Jesse, men
.l
tons that Mr. Knight, the eminent nursery
man, keeps a great number of toads in his
stoves, for the purpose of destroying the
wood lice that infect his plants,, and that
they do not seem at all affected by the heat,
even when it reaches 130 degrees. We are
surprised at this latter statement, which does
not agree with our observation. We have
observed that the toad in veryy, hot weather
seeks shelter under foliage or buries himself
amongst the soft mould. In the evening he
emerges from his concealment f and no doubt
then employs his protusile tongue. Mr.
Buckland mentions a curious use of toads.
They are employed as insecetraps. -

their entomological, employer, by a gentle
squeeze, compels them' to disgorge their ev

and rare specimens of rare and minute noc

is just now," says Dr. Buckland, " a plague
of ants in many of the London houses,
which defy extermination. I strongly re
commend those who are troubled with those
plagues to try whether a toad or two won't
help them." Most certainly. They clean
melon frames of these inseots,and' why should
they not perform the Same friendly office in
the drawing-rooms of London citizens ? No
thing but prejudice can prevent the'adoptiou
of the excellent suggestion. And yet the
prejudice exists, 'and they are• a loathea

odious imagery of Milton. And yet from
the ,erroneous--natural history of .the two.

Exercise for the body, •occupation for the
mind—these are the grand constituents of
health and happiness, the cardinal points
upon which every thing turns. Motion
seems to be a great preserving principle of
nature, to which, even inanimate things are
subject; foram winds, waves, the earth itself,
are restless, and the waving of trees, shrubs,
and flowers is known to be an essential part
of their economy. A fixed rule of 'taking
several hours' exercise every day, if possible
in the open air, if not, under cover, will be
almost-certain to secure an exemption •from
disease, as well as from the attacks of low

New Nind of Varnish.
A new varnish has been invented lately ;
by an enterprising citizen, intended to pro
tent wood and iron from the effects "of water
and the atmosphere. It is made from can
nel= coal. We have a specimen of the article
on a safe in oar counting room. It would
no doubt be an excellent varnish. to preserve
the timber and iron work of railroad and
other bridges. It can be applied to rough
timber as effectively as to smooth, and snb
serve all the purposes of paint, at less than
half the cost. It will doubtless ,soon be,
brought into extensive use for purposes such
as indiCated'above.—Excliange.

is more free, yet united ; none more conser
vative, yet progressive; none, though sub
scribing a common creed, more unanimous
in faith and practice, or more closely knit
together in love. Those who imagine the
contrary do not know them."
The Christian Advocate of the 12th, in
noticing the article, speaks of the Metho
dist Church as exceeding the. Baptiste in
numbers by " hundredrof thoUsands," and
in wealth 41 by millions." And it is farther
said, that
"No Church, since the days of the
Apostles, has ever exercised more charity
toward other Christian-communities than the
Methodist Church does toward those 'who
differ from her in opinion and Church gov
ernment. No Church has been more inde
pendent of aid from other Churches in its
labors and success. No Church has been
gathered so entirely from the world without
robbing other Churches. No Church has
contributed more to the prosperity of other
Churches. No Church since Apostolic
times has flourished so rapidly, and done so
much good in so short a time, as the Meth
dist Church has done."- Central Presby
terian.

Home : it is a little world; it has its own
interests, its own laws, its own difficulties and
sorrows, its own blessings and joys. It is
the sanctuary of the heart, where the affec
tions are cherished in the tenderest relations,
where heart is joined to heart, and love tri
umphs over all selfish calculations. It is the
training.school cf the tender plants, which
in after years are to yieldflowers and fruits
to parental care. It is the fountain whence
come the streams which beautify and enliven
social life.
If any man should have a home, it is tbe
man of business. He is the true working-

his fixed hours, and when: these have run
their course, he may, ere the day, closes, dis

the .home circle. Comparatively little has
been •the= tax on his mind, and not .much
more on his physical system, as he learns to
take all easy. 'But the man of business is
under a constant prestiure. His is not a ten
hour system, with an interval of rest; but
he is driven onward and onward early and
late, without the calculation of hours. He
must be employed. In the earnestness of

'Polish, M. A., Edinburgh.
Second Edition.
Royal octavo, cloth. WO.
One of the most profound metaphysicians in this COUII
try, pays the followina , just tribute to Eir William
Hamilton
'.'ln depth and acuteness be is a rival to .Aristotle, in
immensity of learning a match for Leibnitz, and in com
prehensiveness or thought an equal to Bacon. The whole
circle of the ancient classics—poets, philosophers. and ora
tors—the entire compass of Christian - literature—Eastern
and Western, from Justin to Luther, including the angry
controversies and the endless disputes of the fathers and
schoolmen—the great works of the Reformation; and the•
prolific productions of England, Scotland, Germany, and
Franca, from' the period of the Reformers until now, all
seem to be as familiar to his mind as the alphabet to other
men; and what is more remarkable, this ponderous memo of
learning is no incumbrance. lle has not only swallowed
down, but digested libraries; and while be carries, It b 5
hardly extravagant to say, all the thoughts of all other
men in his,head. he has an immense multitude : besides
precious as any be has collected—which none ever had tie•
fore him, and for which the world will always hold him in
grateful remembrance. Fie is an honor to Scotland, and
en ornament to lettere."

SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION.
SYRUP OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES,
Composed of :the Hypophosphites of Lime,
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted much attention from he medical profession.
To give a general idea of their action, we make the follow
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read before
the Academy of Medicine, Paris, July, 1857. Says Dr. C.:—
" The total number of cases of Phthisis treated by tne
amounts to thirty-five. All were either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that is, they had either
softened tubercles or cavities in the lunge: of toes% nine
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease die.
appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven
improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results
will be found to justify the following conclusions:
"The proximate came, or at all events an essential con
dition of the tubercular diathesis. is the decrees, in the
'system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni.
sable state.
"The specific remedy of the disease consists in the need
a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions
being in such a state that it may be directly assimilated
and at the same time at the lowest possible degree of oxy
dation:
"The effects of these Salts upon the tubercular diathesis
le immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dis
appearing with a rapidity which is really marvelous. If
the.pathelogical deposit produced by the dyscracy is of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are re-absorbed and
disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de
gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and
the issue of the disease then depends upon au anatomical
condition of the local legion, on its extent, and upon the
existence or non-existence of complications. I have made
numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the
lungs by the Inhalation of different substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what
was to be attributed to the specific treatment. The Hypo.
phoephites are certain prophylactics against tubercular
disease.
"The physiological effects show these preparations to
have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they immerse the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes nes.
vons forte, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the thera
peutical properties formerly attributed by different ob
servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger
which attends the use of that substance. The different
preparations of Hypophospnorus Acid will undoubtedly
occupy one of the meet important places in the Materia
Medias."
The success of this treatment being so much in advance
of anything before attained in the management of this
heretofore almost incurable disease ' calls for a -thorough
testingtesog of these remedies. With thisaiew, ihe combination
here offered in the form of Syrup basileen made.
The beneficial effects of these Salta ere not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a
large class of affections result-in , from hos of nervous
force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula, deb ed conditions of Females,
lack of vital action in yen, and where the osseous
system is defective. nderetanding the chemical nature
of these Salts, physicians will be enabled to nee them in a
large class of diseases where they seem to be indicated.
We have every advantage in mannfacturieg these arti
cles. The Dry Salts we have been engaged in manufae.
truing largely since they were first brought to notice, and
we know them to be strictly reliable. The Syrup is a com
bination of the Salts, containing a little over five grains to
the teaspoonful, and is the most pleasant form for taking
them.
The large demand tor this article has induced us to fix it
as low as a reasonable profit will permit. We pack it with
care, so that it will go safely and all orders will receive
prompt attention. Price f :Mr ounce bo'tlee, 60 cents;
eight ounce bottles, $lOO ; pint t ottlee $1.50, or four for
