HNHE Editors of this Journal, wish to call pub
u lie attention to the fact that they will hereaf-
ter the conditions stated below frank the Nos to
a of their subscribers who receive the work direct
ly from them by mail. Their object in making this
offer, is to place those persons who are so situated
that they cannot take the work through an agent,
and therefore free of charge of transportation on
the footing in this respect with city subscribers
Subscribers by mail have heretofore paid from 81 to
S 81 per annum for postage, which has been suf-
cient consideration to induce many to decline taking
the work. Now that this objection is removed, upon
the simple condition of punctual remittances, the
Editors confidently hope that the number of their
mail subscribers will be much increased; and thew
make apology to their present supporters and con-
trbutors, for asking their assistance in aiding them
to sustain this experiment, by making this notice
more public, and by inducing their friends to SUBJ
scribe.
Experience has proved that the mail is by far the
best means Of conveyance to distant subscribers the
most sure and most speedy; and all attempts to es-
tabllsh agencies at a distance, and away from the
great lines of transportation have utterly faed-de-
lay and dissatisfaction and often abandonment of the
work being the result.
The American Journal of Science and Arts is
published at New Haven. Connecticut Each num-
Der contains at least 200 pages, closely and hand
somely printed on good paper, and fully illustrated
by engravings. The subscription is Sc in advance,
by mail. The extra dollar beyond the usual price
Of the literary quarterlies is indispensable, on &C
count of more limited patronage, and the great
expense of engravings.
Remttances should be made if possible in Eastern
money, but if that cannot be obtained the best bills
which can be had may be substituted, and no dis
count will be charged upon them.
Subscribers will remember the regulation of the
Post Office Department, by which Postnasters are
authorized to remit payments for periodicals. free Of
postage. if the letter containing the remittance is
written by themselves.
All letters and remittances directed to the Editors
Of the American Journal of Science and Arts, New
Haven, Ct, will receive prompt attention.
N. B.-Subscribers who wish to avail themselves
of the free postage, must that their accounts are
not in arrears; when such is the fact the Editors
cannot pay the postage.
UF Advertisements are inserted on the customary
rates. and the European circulation of the work rem
ders it desirable vehicle for the advertisements

o ffail and falling house Of clay!
I've loved thee far too well;
With thee have not long to stay,
How long cannot tell.
But this l know, thy lettering wall
Which now imprisons me,
When touch'd by deaths cold hand shall fall
o, then shall be free!
And yet, when e'er part from thee
Mid Natures dying pain,
o let the truth remembered be,
We part to meet again.
As tender rose-trees seem to die,
When touched by winters breath,
And for little season lie
With every mark of death.
Then spring to life when summer comes,
And wear their brightest dress,
To beautify our pleasant homes,
Our care worn hearts to bless;
So shalt thou hear the trumpct's sound,
And leave thy lowly grave,
Whether thou slcepcst under ground,
Or, meath the rolling wave.
Then still I'll love thee, house Of clay!
But not with former pride;
For not until the last great dav,
Shalt thou be glorifed!

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY
A SUNDAY AT MOSCOW.

To one who long time had been a
stranger to the sound of "the church-go-
ing bell" few things could be more Inter
esting than Sunday at Moscow. ANY
one who has rambled along the maritime
Alps, and has heard from some lofty en-
inence the convent bell ringing for mathis,
vespers, and midnight prayers, will long
remember the cot unpleasing sounds. To
me there is always something touching in
the sound of the church-bell in itself
pleasing in its effect upon the sense, but
far more so in its associations. And these
feelings were exceedingly fresh when I,
awoke on Sunday, in the holy city ofMos-
cow. In Greece and Turkey, there are
no bells; in Russia they are almost in

shall not be misunderstood when we say
that in quoting his opinion on any subject

quote from no mean authority. In his

the following remarkable testimony in ia
vor of vegetable dietsfor children.
The activity of most of the organs of
the body can be very greatly increased ;
they can be made to perform their func-
lions, for while, with unusual facility
and power. l will dwell Upon this fact a
little. The child, for instance, may be

bust; and indeed he appeared to be 10 Wig
orous health; but soon after this he had
a long infammatorv fever of an unusual
character for children, which attributed
at the time, to the stimulating diet allowed
him. This diet appeared also to have an
effect upon his disposition, and confirmed
the observation of Hufeland, that infants
who are accustomed to eat much animal
food become robust, but at the same time
passionate, violent and brutal"
Here we should like to interrupt DR.
Brigham, and ask him whether he really
believes with Hufeland, that the use O
much animal food, in the case of children

sionate, violent and brutal. We should

! The food has often been miserable the
attendance slow and negligent; the bar
and parlor filthy; and SO many foul
mouthed, profane, half booty loungers
around, as to make one regret the neces-
sity of resorting to them. As general
rule in such houses, the ignorant, brutal,
rum-soaked men, who in former times,
when rum-selling was honorable, were
deemed hardly fit for hostlers, have be-
come landlords; the more respectable men
having deserted taverns which could be
sustained only as rum shops. 1t was,
