Pill Machines.-Among the patents recently
issued, is one 10 Loriston G. Merrill, of New Bed
ford, Pennsylvania, for Improvement in "pill ma
chimes So great has been the demand for patent
pills, that inventive skill has been tasked TO pro-
cure additional facilities for their manufacture.
The result may be cheapening ofthese 'remedial
agents." which have popularity unprecedented at
any former period of our history. The main OBJ
lection to the celebrated pills is, they de-
signed or trumpeted TO do too much; but, as it is
generally believed that faith plays an important
part in effecting cures, we have no objection TO
the swallowing of bread nd-honey balls, espe-
cially in cases where the disease is one Of an
imaginary character.

The present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications unusually interesting
during the year 1854 They will occupy middle
ground between the hastily-written news items,
crude speculations. and flying rlmors Of the daily
journal, and the ponderous Of the future his
torian, written after the living interest and excite
ment Of the great political events Of the time shall

readers must look for the only really ineligible
and reliable history of current events; and as
SUCH in addition TO their wellestablished literary
scientific, and theological character, we urge them
upon the consideration Of the reading public.
Arrangements are in progress for the receipt OF
early sheets from the British publishers, by which
hands OF subscribers about as soon as they can be
furnished with the foreign copies. Although this
will involve very large outlay on our part, we
shall continue furnish the periodicals at the same
