A splendid DESCRIPTION.

| One Paul Denton, Methodist preacher in
Texas, advertised q barbecue, with better liquor
than usually furnished. When the people were
assembled, a desperate in the crowd cried out,
"Mr. Paul Denton, your reverence has lied
You promised not only good barbecue but bet

+" There !" answered the missionary, in tones
of thunder, and pointing his motionless finger at
the matchess double spring, gushing up in two
strong columns, with a sound like shout of JOY
from the bosom Of the earth. "There!" he re-
peated, with a look terrible as lightning, while
his enemy actually trembIed at his feet; ''the1s
is the liquor which God, the eternal brews for
all his children.
Not in the simmerng still, ever smoky fires,
choked with poisonous gasses, and surrounded
with the stencil of sickening odors and rank cor
ruptions, doth your Father in heaven prepare the
precious essence of life, the pure cold water.-~
But in the green glade and grassy dell, where the
red deer wanders, and the child loves to play,
there God brews it; and down in the deepest val
lies, where the fountain murmurs and the rills
sing; and high up in the mountain tops, where
the naked granite glitters like gold in the sun,
where the storm-cloud broods and the thunder
storm crash, and away far out on the wide wild
sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the
big wave rolls the chorus, sweeping The march
of God--there He brews it. that beverage OF life,
health giving water. And everywhere it is
thing of beauty, cleaning in the dew-drop; sing
ing in the summer rain; shining in the ice gem,
till the trees all seemed turned to living jewels,
spreading golden veil over the setting sun, or
a white cause around the midnight moon; sport
ing in the cataract; sleeping in the glacier; dan.
cling inthe hail shower, folding its bright snow
curtains softly about the wintry world; and wea-
wing the many colored iris, that seraph's zone of
the sky, whose warp is the rain drop OF the earth,
whose woofi is the sun beam ofheaven, all check
ed over with celestial flowers, by the mystic hand
of rejection. Still always it is beuutiful--that
blessed ife-water! no poison bubbles on its brink;
its foam brings not madness and murder; no
blood stains its liquid glass, pale widows and star
wing orphans weep not burning tears in its depths;
no drunkard's shrinking ghost from the grave
curses it in words of eternal despair. Speak
out my friends, would you exchange it for the
demons drink alchohol?"
A shout like the roar of tempest, answered
"No."

From the Common Sci
Cheap Teaching.

The present mania for sscheap teachers is
very detrimental TO the interests of our common
schools. Thisis admitted by all true friends Of
education, but, unfortunately, in many sections
of the country, this class is in the minority
Such persons, looking at the future welfare of
their children, and knowing that the influence Of
teacher is powerful, for good or for evil, would
gladly employ an instructor possessing suitable
qualifications. But they are out-numbered by
those whose narrow sefishness looks at money.
as the one thing needful, and at education, as
mere secondary convenience. The Illuminating
beams of science have not penetrated their own
minds, and they see no necessity, for expending
money to enlighten their children. "Little
naughty ignorance throws her shadow, if not
her mantle, over their thoughts, and they ex-

whichis the more reprehensible.

Keep away from Temptation.

The only safe course for a young man, who
would retain his virtue and his correct principles,
is to keep away from temptation. How many
have fallen who have merely ventured to look at
vice. Her temptation was too strong for them
to resist.
They partook Of the fatal glass, snatched the
gilded treasure, or gave themselves up to I'M
cleanliness. No one is secure who runs in the
way of sin, to see how near he can venture on
the threshold of vice, without entangng his feet
in the net of the adversary.
Have you never heard the story of a gentle
man who advertised for coachman? If not,
we will repeat it. Three applicants were adj
mtted to his room. He pointed out 10 them a
precipice, remarking, "How near the edge of
this can you drive me, without any danger of an
upset?"
The first applicant replied, "Within hairs
breadth"
elbow near can you drive me 3" inquired the
gentleman ofa second applicant.
"Within hairs breadth" he replied.
AS the third was about 70 leave the room, sup
posing he had no chance for competing with the
other two, the gentleman stopped him.
"Let me hear what you have to say" said he.
"Why, sir, cannot compete with either OF
these; ifI wereto drive you, would keep you
as far off as POSSIBLY could"
s.You are the man for me p said the gentle
man, and he engaged him Immediately.
In regard to vice, he only is safe who keeps
a'oay from temptation. Those who venture
near, are often upset and destroyed.
Ye whose hearts are uncontaminated, listen to
the voice of wisdom, and 60 not where there are
strong allurements to vice. Keep away from
the gaming table, the grog-shop, and the mid
night party. Your safety lies in excepting as fal
offas possible"

knowledge is its own exceeding great reward.
1t is not the gift of college, particularly. 1t is

imagine that he will be before trying it. If your
parents are rich, and have nothing better to do
with their money, let them board you at Cam

But don't the less strive for liberal education.
Be liberal in supplying yourselves with books

Thus doing, you will probably acquire more

shopld be able to wrest from the family. Give
the father his home, in fact and secure, and ne

interests are his interests. But let the wealthy
capitalists be able to monopolize the soil, and
seize almost at will upon the poor mans home
stead, and we shall have a moneyed aristocracy
to lord it over the people as cruelty as ever the
English aristocracy made laberers and depend

source of safety the masses possess against the

BOTANICAL PUNs.-Trees are migratory in
their habits, for wherever they winter, they are
sure to leave i'll the spring.
In their manners they are graceful, though
sometimes too full of boughs.
Although never denominated dandies, it is
certain that there are many spruce trees.
This may account for their military propensi-
ties, their frequent trainings, the directness OF
their shoots, the great number of kernels they
produce, and for always Standing their ground.
Plants resemble us, although, when young,
some lie in beds, and none are Graded till they
