A Reasonable Sutscriber-A subscrl-
Der writes as follows:
Il call yonr paper an excellent publica-
tion-a medium of intelligence, venture
to say Indispensable to the prosperity ofthe
Baptist cause in the West. Though |
frequently See things that could dispense
with, yet condemn not the paper on that
account III wait till find an editor that
will publish every thing to suit my taste,
shall forever despair of having paper in
my family. Furthermore, those things
that are not edifying to me may beto Others"
Now the foregoing is deemed a very
reasonable of a very important mat
ter; and it is respectfully commended to
the attention Of any who may be disposed
to afix the seal of condemnation to a pub
slight blemish.-Cr0sS and Baptist Jour-

Advantage Of Drinking qcater-1t is
a great mistake to think that any drink
is better for Woodworking men than water
There was party employed in draining,
by task work, in Richmond Park, who
were patterns Of English l1borers They
worked hard from morning to night, & in
oll hut l. e
fee. They did not even use beer. The
expense of coffee was comparatively tri-
fling; and they performed as hard day S
> work as any men in England, and were
often exposed to wet and cold. A proof
5 ofth.s may be also found in Capt. Ross
r recent voyage to the arctic regions. He
; says that, on journey of great difficulty
and hardship, she was the onl y one ofthe
party whose eyes were not inftamed, and
he was the on y one who did not drink
grog. He was also the oldest of the party,
vet, for the same reason, he bore the IA
tgue better than any of them. He adds
that whoever will make the experiment on
two equal boats crews, rowing in heavy
t sea, will soon be convinced that the water
] drinkers will far Quito the others. No
better testimony to this is required than
. the experience of men who work at iron
| foundries, which is the hardest labor done
: by man. But they know that they cannot
j. perform it if they drink even beer, and
y there drink during the hours of this hot
: and heavy labor is water. 1t is a weII-at,
tested fact, that when an armed brig was
wrecked in Plymouth harbor in 1879 (he
q last of D. cember Yin a snow storm, the
q men who drank f.eely Of spirits persisted
by the cold, while those who RETAINED
wholly, or took very little, SURVIVED til
they were taken from the wreck.-Eug'
