SERMON ON DRINKING. BY DOW JR.

To keep continually dry, always wear an oil
cloth dress, carry good umbrella, and practice
rum-drinking. The first two articles are only
essential in protecting the outside from super
abundant moisture, but the latter keeps the
inside dry as stoyepipe. I never knew a
drinker but he was eternally dry in all kinds OF
weather. He goes to bed dry and gets up dry,
and keeps himself dry through the day. 1t is
not to be wondered at for how can he be other
wise than dry when he keeps the blue blaze
eterna'ly burning in his bosom, by pouring
distilled destruction down his,throat forever. In
fact, my friends, the more he drinks, the dryer
he.grows On his death bed he cries for more
dfink, for the last time, and then he goes out of
the world as thirsty as if he had lived on Goldfish
all the days of his life.

.CURIosITIEs OF BoILING WATER-The.hieher
we ascend, the less the pressure of the atmos-
phere becomes, and consequently, being to GER
tain extent removed from its surface, water boils
at much lower temperature than below Many
remarkable facts are dependent on this, for the
nutritious principles in many kinds of common
animal and vegetable food cannot be extracted
at temperature lower than PIP degrees, there
fore those who live in very elevated regions,
such as the plains OF Mexico, SC, are deprived
OF many Injuries which their more fortunate.
because less elevated, neighbors are capable Of
procuring. This is rather remarkable as relates
to the monks of st. Bernard, who live at the Hos
plce on the Alps at an elevation of 5000 feet.
They are obliged to live almost entirely on fried,
roasted, and baked food, as water there boils at
203 degrees, which is an insufficient heat to ex-
tract the nutritious properties from the food
which they procure Hence that isolated COM
munity, situated at the boundary of the beauti-
full Swiss valleys on the north, and the fertile
plains OF Piedmont on the south, seem, as it
We're, cut off from participating in many COM
forts, from the simple fact, that they cannot
make their boiling water so hot as that of their
neighbors below,-lsaiah Deck.

PRIESTS AND PEOPLE OF MEXICO.

The religious establishments of the proud and
rich city of Puebla, are numerous and very
wealthy. In the city of Mexico the churches
and religious houses, many of them very spa
clous, and covering an entire square, are said to
own one halt OF all the real estate il the city in
addition to which they hold what is equivalent
to perpetual mortgages on one half of the residue
thus controlling three -fourths of the real property
OF the capital.
The clergy are very numerous in all cities
With few exceptions, they reputed to BE-
ignorant, indolent, and exceedingly loose in
their morals. Concubinage and its kindred
vices, are VIGOROUSLY common among them
Not a few of them are nfidels. They still exert
a considerable political power, while their moral
and social influence over the lower class, and
the females otall classes, is almost unlimited
and is abused to all extent well nigh incred-
ible.
Like priests like people. In morals, the mass
OF tine people are exceedingly depraved. ''1he
leperos," said an intelligent Mexican" are all
thieves and liars they are animals-beasrs
they have neither religion nor morality. .
''Ehree tourths Of them,7 said priest, olive
together without marriage" The seventh com
mandment is universally violated among them.
both in its spirit and letter, such yiolatioils as
must not benamed here The leperos constitute
an overwhelming majority in the cities particu-
larly the capital: and with the Indians and
persons ir respect their superiors they consti-
tute at least fye-sevenhs OF the population of the
country.

NEwspApERs.-Therei is not book so cheap
as newspaper none so interesting, because it
consists OF a variety measured out in suitable
portions as to time and quality Being new
every week or day, it invites to habits of reading
and affords an easy way of acquiring knowledge
SO essential to the Individual and the community.

VnLLAlNous DEcEpr1oN.-A woman was de-
tected yesterday, in using one of the most vii
heard Of She had in her arms child, which
to all appearances, was without either arms or
legs, which she exhibited with view Of exct-
ing compassion In one house the suspicious OF
a servant girl were awakened and she Insisted
upon an examination of the child. 1t was ac-
complished under the threat Of the police, and
the result was, the discovery Of a dreadful piece
of yiilainy and iniqnity The child's arms We're
strapped closely to its body, so that they could
not be moved, and the legs We're doubled up and
strapped in the same way, in order to make
them appear like stamps 1t is great pity that
the fiend OF a woman was allowed to depart
She ought to haye peen handed over to the po-
lice on the spot, and sent to the peniteatiary.-

One ofthe most beautiful gems in oriental
literature is contained in passage from the
Persian poet, Sadi, quoted by Sir w. Jones, the
sentiments of which are embodied in the follow
ing lines:
The sandal tree perfumes when riven,
The axe that laid it low,
Let man who hopes to be forgiven,
Forgive and bless his foe.

THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY.

The March number of the .'lsrehants' IMaga-
zine, Wing periodical. thus frankly speaks Of
this favorite Democratic measure;
''ro what end, and fur whet ,purposc, should
we get rid of the Sub Treasury? 1t has, thus
far, with all its faults and trials, done its d1ty
faithfully.-The country has passed through an
unexpected war, involving an immense expendi-
ture of treasure. without wavering--and with
similar soundness in the movements of our none
tary affairs, we have with perfect regularity and
calmness preserved ourselves through period Of
great speculative excitement.-In my judgement
had we been deprived Of the controlling interfer-
ence Of this power, wild scene of ruinous ex-
travagance would havebeen exhibited, which like
the mania Of 1886, wonld haye terminated in
general and disgracefnl bankruptcy. The system
has acted conseryativey, through the natural force
of its inherent power, to check expansion. The
importation Of twenty millions Of dollars the price
of our breadstuffs, would have inflated the curren-
cy to s,ich an extent had the banks been at liberty
that, by this time We should have failed to per-
form our contracts or have returned to Europe
double the a,ioant Of specie we extracted. The
Sub Treasury kept down the value Of foreign
merchandize to specie prces-and in ratio Of its
iuhuenee, in regulating our home market, were
our merchants enabled, those at least, who were
moderate in tiaeir expectations, TO make fair and
profitable voyages"
