NICHOVS SERIES OF STANDARD DIVINES Puritan Period We have frequently called the attention of our readers to the remarkable and invaluable series of the writings of the great Puritan Divines now in the course of publication by Mr. James Niohol, of Edinburgh, Scotland. The arrival of the third volume of the works of Thomas Adams, and of the first volume of those of Richard Sibbes, reminds us of ~ the duty of calling the at tention of our ministers and laymen Who take an interest in those noble, works from which the greater part of our standard modern Theology has been drawn, to this most timely publication. The - works of the Puritan period selected by Mr. Nichol to be issued for $75, are now sold for $3 in the English market. Six volumes will be issued each year• Thus in five years the complete works of Goodwin, Sibbes, Charnock, Adams, Manton, Reynolds, Brooks, and Clark son, will be brought out in a superior style, and at an expense within the reach of all our minis ters. They are issued under the editorial super vision of the following eminent Divines: W. Lindsay Alexander, D.D., Professor of Theology, Congregational Union, Edinburgh ; Thomas J. Crawford, D.D., S.T.P., Professor of Divinity, University, Edinburgh; William Cunningham, D.D., Principal of the New College, Edinburgh ; D. T. K. Drummond, M.A., Minister of St. Thomas' Episcopal church, Edinburgh ; William H. Goold, D.D., Professor of Biblical Literature and Church History, Reformed Presbyterian Church, Edinburgh ; Andrew Thomson, D.D., Minister of Broughton Place United Presbyte rian Church, Edinburgh. The conditions of , publication are the fol lowing: . , " I. Six volumes demy Svo., bound in the most durable manner, and in a style which will ob- Niate the necessity of rebinding, shall be supplied for $1.60 per annum. The volumes will average from 600 pages each to 600 pages each, accord ing to.the number of subscribers obtained. The tleinitnd for the series will thus determine the minimum or maximum size of the volumes. The different works will be distinguished by variety lilt:le - dolor of cover, or style of ornamentation, to avoid, the unpleasing tired of a large number eir volumes in the' library bound in, one uniform pattern.. dlt is anticipated for so important a series of works, offered on such terms, and certified so fully by representatives of all the sections of the Church as being of the highest value, that, at least, 6,000 subscribers will be obtained. This number does not appear to be an unreasonable one, spread over the various denominations; and the Publisher, trusting it will readily be reached, has made his arrangements in accordance with this expectation. This number will be sufficient to warrant all the volumes to average 600 pages. "2. Fall contents, when necessary, will be prefixed to emit volume, and complete indexes will be appended to eachwork. To this feature special 'attention will be given, so that the great esp facility 4hak.l exist for reference to the intb ject-matter of each book, as well as to the varied portions ,of Scripture illustrated in the different works. - This will greatly enhance the vain° of the editions in this series, as the student will at puce lie able to turn to the dissertatien be desires to consult, and refer with ease to the various ex positions of detached portions of Scripture con tained in the writings of the authors." The Rev. James Rodgers, D. D., of the United Presbyterian Board of Publication, Third Street, Pittsburgh, is the agent for this country. Upon application to him a complete Prospectus of the enterprise can be obtained; or by a visit to his rooms 'copies of the volumes already issued may be seen.

The glowing sun of midsummer after noon poured through the eurtainiess win dows of the little village school, and small curly heads drooped like delicate flowers in the languid air. Among them all, lit tle Katie's sunny ringlets fell the lowest, and if you bad lifted the golden veil you would have seen that the weary eyes had forgotten to con the long line of hard words in the worn spelling-book, and that the silken fringes of the drooping lids were pillowed lovingly upon the sweetest little cheeks in the world. Yes, in the heated air, soothed by the lazy drone of the hungry flies, and the restless hum of young student voices, Ka tie had fallen asleep. She was dreaming, too. She was dreaming of the,little broth er, darling Charley, who in the bright Springtime, when the violets were, just opening their sweet blue: eyes after their lon g sleep, had strayed away from earth, and passed through these gates of glory, always open for the entering, of little feet; and she dreamed that she clasped him to her little lonely heart, and begged him never to leave her again. Amid the great ness of her joy she sobbed aloud, and start ed to find Belle's soft arm around her, and to hear her whisper : What is the matter, Darling ?" Before poor Katie could well collect her thoughts to answer, the school . , was dis missed, and she heard the teacher exclaim, as be pointed to the darkening West: . "Hurry home, children, or you will be caught in the shower.'" Then Katie poured into the sympathiz ing ear of her little friend all:her troubles, and finished by saying: " t could not bear to find it only a dream; I feel as if I must see Charley once more." " Where do you think he is ?" asked Belle. "In heaven, I know," replied Katie, " and mother says he cannot come back to us, but we can get to him some time ;" and her sobs broke out afresh. "Why don't you go to him now?" cried Belle. " I don't know the way," said Katie; "I was very sick when they took him away in the little coffin, and I don't know where they went." - " Are yon sure he went to heaven ?" asked Belle, eagerly. " Oh ! I know it," said Katie. Then," said impulsive little Belle, " then I can show you the way; I saw where they put your little brother." The glad light in Katie's tearful eyes was beau tiful to behold. " Well, will you show me, Belle, now, this very afternoon ?" " Yes, indeed," cried Belle, and with clasped hands, unmindful of the gathering gloom, these little pilgrims set forth on their journey to heaven. Once on the way a doubt oppressed little, Belle. " Oh I" said Katie, with sweet assurance, " how Charley would run to open the door V' and her cheek flushed with antici pation. "Do you suppose Charley is very hap py ?" urged Belle. "Very," said Katie, emphatically. And what does he do all the time?" " Plays with the angels with such lovely wings," cried Katie with great animation. "And they pick up stars that lie all over, the floor of heaven; and rainbows, I sup pose they keep them up all Summer ; and oh ! Charley used to love rainbows. He once cried because"— "Dear me," said Belle, interrupting her in great dismay, " it rains, Nada, and we are ever so far from home; what shall we do ?" " But we are almost to heaven, ain't we ? Let us hurry and go in there " Yes," said Belle, " I see the door!' " Where? where?" cried Katie, breath lessly. " There !" responded little Belle point ing to the little rising ground and iron door of the village vault. " Oh l" faltered Katie, with disappoint ment; "is that heaven ? 0 Belle ! it is like a great cave I" and her little lip quiv ered sadly. " Why," said Belle, " that is where . they took your brothei—the very place—and you said he had gone to heaven ; "besides," oontinued she, brightening, " when we get through the little dark door it may be all bright and beautiful on the other side." " Perhaps it is," said Katie, more hope fully. But now the large rain drops began to fall very fast, and the thunder-storm, in all its sublimity, burst upon the little trav ellers. The burdened West seemed gleaming like an ocean of flame, and the floor of ', heaven resounded to the solemn tread of the mighty thunder. Still the little chil dren, with clasped hands and pale lips, pressed on, and their angels, who "do al ways behold the face of our Father," watch ed over them lovingly, and they walked secretly in the heavenly company. At last the busy pattering feet reached the gloomy entrance, and Katie's sweet, hopeful lips were pressed close to the cold door. " Knock," cried Belle; ann, with all her strength, Katie did knock, and a hollow echo was all the reply, while the dead from within heeded not the call from fresh, young, hopeful lips; and the little brother, with closed eyes and pale, clasped hands, heard not the sweet, imploring cry.. " Charley, dear Charley; it is your sis ter—your own sister Katie; won't you open the door?" "He does not hear you, Katie, it thun ders so," said. Belle ; " let us wait a little while;" and they waited. Soon there was a lull in the storm, and again Katie, strew in faith, knocked at the dreary door, and, her loving cry, " Oharley, dear Charley;" echoed sadly back. "Do _you hear any thing?'..' asked .Belle, with parted lips; "is he coming ?" " No," replied Katie ; thought Louce heard, his little feet, but it was only - the rain." " Perhaps," suggested Belle, with large, imaginative eyes, "perhaps be is playing with the angels, a great way off, in a beau tiful.garilen.„ • , " Oh!" sobbe'd Katie; "I hope he will not love that little angel more than me." " Knock once more just once," whis pered Belle. With wavering faith again the little soft hand pleaded for entrance, and the tremu lous voice cried piteoosly— is Charley, darling, dear, sweet little brother, please ,opeu the door to 'your own poor Katie. Don't love the little angels better than me. 0 Charley 1 Charley 1" She threw herself upon the wet ground, and sobbed in ,an agony of grief and disap pointment.

"'No," said Katie, with touching hope lessness; ( 4 1 shall never come again. Let us go." She rose without another sob or fresh tear even upon her wet, cheek; but the grieved expression of the sweet, childish mouth was pitiful to behold. Back again over the dreary way went Katie and Belle. Little shoes wet, little dresses , dripping, little heads bent like dew-laden flowers, little hearts very heavy. At Katie's door stood her anxious Jatoth er, peering through shadows for her dar ling. The child sprang to those loving arms, and with one cry, that spoke all the agony of bitter doubt that had crept into, her young, confiding heart, exclaimed : "0 mother ! I have been knocking at the door of heaven, and Charley would not let me in." Dear, grieved little Katie, refusing to, be 'coinforted in this thy first great sorrow, it may be that ere the violets come again God's hand will beckon unawares, and with a better guide thou shalt indeed' find'the door of heaven.

This word means, literally, a f'..running, through," and as, applied to the human body, in connexion with a diseased.condi tion, its expressiveness is easily seen. Whatever a person eats or drinks seems to pass through the system very soon, and with comparatively little change. • Simple diarrhea is the passing from the' baWels of a watery, lightish-colored sul3 start ce, in considerable quantities, at several times- during the twenty-four hours, some- , times with pain ; always leaving a sense of weakness, which makes sitting still a de liciousness, as if it would be a happiness to know that there would be,no occasion ever to get up again. if blood is passed instead of . a thiri, , light-colored liquid , " it is then DyAentery, or "Bloody Flux," accompanied, with -a frequent desire to stool, without being-able: to pass anything, with a "sensation so dis tressing, that the Latins call it Torntina, literally a " torment." If, on the other band, the discharges are, frequent, inipera 7 tine, in immense quantities, thin as water almost,, and of a Ightish color, without any pain whatever; that is genuine cholera-- Asiastic cholera. It is quite sufficient for all common practical, purposes, to say that diarrhea, tiysentery, and Asiatic cholera are one and the same disease, differing only in intensity. Diarrhea is a watery loose j dysentery is a bloody feeseness;, cholera is an immense , watery loeseness. • In diarrhea, there is not much pain, necessarily. [n dysentery, there is a great deal of pain inevitably. In cholera, there is never any at all as to the bowelS. diarrhea, discharges always succeed inclina tion. In dysentery there is a most distress ing inclination, with no satisfactory, no re lieving discharge. In cholera, desire is folleied always by immense and relieving discharges. In. : all these, there is one never-failing circum stance always and inevitably present; and' never can_be absent, under:'any conceivable circumstances—it is the quenchless instinct of nature calling'for ;absolute rest, bodily quietude, and Without that "teat, a cure is always impossible, and death an inevitable event. There is in all these a reinorseless thirst. Nature then calls for two things, to satisfy her longings for rest and drink, if these two things are done with sufficient prompt ness, there is a. perfect cure in nine cases out of ten. Perfect quietude on, a bed, and:ohew ing ice, swallo*ing as large pieces-as pos sible, until the-thirst is perfectly satisfied, is all that is necessary in any ordinary at tack of either of these three diseases. To Make assurance donbly sure, keep the ab men tightly bound around with two thick nesses of Woolen flannel, eat nothing, but boiled rice, with boiled milk, in ordinary cases; if more violent, let the rice be parched black as coffee usually is, then boil and 'eat'it; . or - What' more efficient; put a pound , or more of flour in .a linen bag, boil it two hours in milk, take off the skin, dry it, grate it into boiled milk, and eat it freely, and nothing else, until the disease -is checked.

They dill bear a general resemblance to, the lord:ear, with stick rhOilifications as have been suggested ' `by experience. One of them is to be 320-feet in length, and the other 341; with 50 feet beam. The verti eal. sides are 6 feet in dePth, and are to be 'protected with iron armor plating .10f l inchescin thickness,, backed with 4 feet of solid oak. 'The turrets-are to be absolutely invulnerable. The contract provides they shall be two feet in thiekrie,,ss„ but the contractor has leave to, reduce the thickness, provided he can satisfy the Department. that lesS will, be sufficient: A target" has' been constructed of' thicknes less than 'two feet, and forwarded to Washington for trial, but Capt.

Farmer. Skill in Marketing. One of the branehes of his business which a farmer shOuld well understand, is marketing. The extreme eagerness which some -manifest, ,to get an additional half cent,. per bushel, is hardly to be recom mended; nor, are the anxiety and sleeplesa nights which they, endure, while fearing the market may decline instead of, rising, compensated for, in the small additional amount possibly obtained. As a, general rule, farmers pay : sell whenever they . have. the article ready„ and there is an, active market, the cost of keeping, the daoger of waste, the loss of interest, &c., often over balance a slow advance. But there is one point. toward; which they may direct all their energies- 7 --that is, to, have a good arti clo, and to have, the reputation of always furnishing such. We have known poultry dealers to give from two to,three cents a pound more, at all Aimes, to a farmer. who, had honestly earned a rep,utation of having' the very best, and' _always put, up in the very best manner-4nd this poultry would sell when a poorer ,artiele,would not. It is so with marketing fruit. An apple inspector told us that a considerable por tion. of the fruit offered' him the present Antonin proved defeCtive and unfit'far sale, after 'removiog.the few fine sp&inaens pur posely laid 011 top of the barrels to conceal the bruised and scabby fruit below. Those who,indulged in such tricks lost their sales,- and.will' be watched another, year.. bo. the. other hand, those who have cultivated their, orchards, well, and taken pains to raise the best, and who have earefogy picked, as sorted, and put „up. what they had to sell, will soon be sought by dealers, and will re, eeive a higher price than •others. As an, instance of success of this kind, we copy, the following statement from, the Prairie I 4 cermer—and no one can doubt that the successful min of these two took more pains in picking carefully and in putting up properly; and as a good manager in one way is usually a good manager in others, there is no doubt that - his orchard was in better condition:::• - " I am acquainted with two, men.oecu pying: about the eame.range of land, with farina opposite each other, who happened to carry eighty barrels of apples •each to market the same week. One of these men got a certain ewer for his crop; the other got just 's4o more, or an average of, 75 cents more per barrel. One had sufficient mercantile skill to' •.lead him to assort his crop into grades, put them into clean and uniforp barrels, and fix a price upon each cIeSS„ and in consequence of,his knowledge of ,their.worth, and• skill in. assorting, etc.,, he realized 860 more than his neighbor did, on the same amount and quality of apples,-without expense, and with but lit tle trouble; and• I believe it is not only, in marketing apples, but grain, and even stock, that 'the seller should know •the real value of it before disposing of it."—N: E.
