GRATUIToUS FOLLY.

The New York Tribune thus describes the
exercises at the exhibition Of school for boys,
near that city,
By invitation we attended in the Park, on
Saturday, an exhibition of the boys ofthe E.
piscopal institute of Stapleton's Staten Is
land. They were come twenty-five in num-
Der, from ten TO seventeen years old, dressed
in military uniforms, and all, excerpts few
who were too small, armed with carbines g.
bayonets. Their evolutioDs were conducted
by their military teacher, Capt. F. L. Haga-
dorm, though the Principal of the school. Rev
T. Lowell. was also in attendance. They
were reviewed by the Mayor, and went ihro'
their exercises 10 the apparent qualification Of
the spectators generally.
1t is really heart sickening 10 read such an
account as this. II il were school under
the patronage of Mahommedans. or pagans,
such an account would be matter. OF little
surprise. But for a school under professedly
Christian instruction. in which the Liturgy
and the Prayer Book are daily read, the
Principal ofwhich is proiessed minister Of
the Prince Of Peace. TO present such a spec
tacle, is shameful. What parent who has the
least regard for the spiritual welfare Of son,
would subject him 10 such influences as these?
Whai Christian would wish the spirit OF war
TO be infused into the minds of boys, and the
love Of show and parade cultivated in early
life ?-B. Courier.

In addition to The gains above mentioned

The TIME-HoNoREDCUsToM of taking lit
lie opening medicine in the Spring OF the
year, is founded in common sense and sound
philosophy. Every one is sensible Of the in
convenience experienced on the recurrence
OF warm spell, after season of cold wea-
her. The morbid accumulatons OF winter
are set loose by warm weather, and float in
the circulation or lodge in some part Of the
body. Hence il is perhaps that Spring is SO
fatal to coneunptives and others.'
For the purpose of purifying the blood and
other fluids, there is no medicine superior TO
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills, and it is
strongly recommended as Spring medi-
cine. These Pills &C: upon the rho'e system
and not on one part OF il merely, as other
pills do. Hence, if disease be present in any
part, il must be driven forth.
Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds Some are
coated with sugar, others made to resemble in
outward appearance the original medicine The
safest course is, purchrTe of the regular agents
only, one or more of whom may be found in every
village and town in the State.
