Arsenic Smokers.

Travellers have already given accounts OF
the arsenic eaters of the Carpathean mountains.
This drug gave them blooming compilations,
and enabled them to endure long ascending
walks on the mountains without everlasting
their lungs. They had, however, to increase
tI4c -SloSo tf.iI, ,ad i;fe closed
the two alternatives, to stop and die of inani-
ton, or go on and perish of the excess. a cor
respondent or the Tribune, speaking of the
MosrfaY, French Consul in China, in reference
to the use of arsenic by the Chinese. He says
they mingled it in their smoking tobacco. The
custom is peculiar TO certain provinces. and 80
common that, according to the testimony of
the missionaries who lived long time there,
tobacco, free from arsenic, is not sold. The
same witness assured the Council that the arse
mic smokers were stout fellows, with sslungs
like blacksnith's bellows, and rosy as cher
ubs.' The publication of MoNTIGY's state
ment has called out letter from DR.. LoSDA,
who announces that some years ago, in the
course ola discussion at the Academy of Medi-
cine, on the agents to be employed to cure
tubercuar consumption, he told the assembled
doctors that he had found but one successful
means of combating that dreadful disease;
that means was the smoking OF arsenic. The
doctor reafirmed his commendation OF his
remedy. How singular it would be, if reme
dy for the wide spread plague of consumption
was to be found in the counter-poison of this
horrid and inexplicahe habit. -sf r.4a-ls

Rum and lis Vender.

a few years ago q poor miserable victim of
strong drink, after squandering all he possess
-ed at neighboring rum store, died, leaving
four small children to be provided for by his
abused and almost hcart-broken widow At
ter struggling on for some time in poverty
and want, she was advised to apply for work TO
the wife Of the wealthy rum seller, who had been
the ruin OF her husband. In compliance with
this advice, she waited on this person, who,
with the appearance OF kindness, offered TO
supply her with sewing. She gave her coup
le of shirts TO make at twenty-five cents each,
promising that if they were made to her salts
faction, she would supply her with number
more. Upon bringing them home,; she was
told that they gave full satisfaction, but the
lady said that she was not in the habit of pay
ing for work till it amounted to five dollars.
and she would supply her with work to that
amount. The poor woman toiled night and
day to make up eighteen more shirts TO earn
this amount, in the meanwhile being driven
by actual want to beg and boil potato peciiHgs
to keep her poor children alive. At length
the shirts were all finished. The poor woman
set out 10 carry them home, thinking all the
way Of the five dollars and the food it would
buy for her furnishing children; and it never
seemed to her that five dollars was so much
money before. Upon delivering them they
were pronounced well done, the poor woman
was asked for her bills-the rum sellers vito
then called for her husband, and after conyers-
ing few minutes in an under tone, he put
his hand into his pocket and took out due
biH, signed by her murdered husband, for five
dollars, and presented it to the poor woman
for her pay! She uttered scream and fell
senseless on the floor, aud had to be carried
home to her starving babes, TO awake toa sense
of the wretchedness caused by these fiends in
human shape.-GJugh.

Sniritualism.

The mischief which this wretched dclusion
has done, and is still doing, is, almost incalcu-
liable. We are often called upon to record in
stances Of its evil workings. The Boston pa
pers day or two since contained an account
of a Young lady, formerly teacher in one OF
the public schools. who has gone mad through
a belief in that atdoctrine. And another instance
has Just come to our knowledge. 1t is that of
highly intelligent lady, who, one year ago,
was living in Boston in comparative ease and
luxury, surrounded by all the endearments of
domestic bliss. But suddenly a change came
over her husband. He became infatuated with
a company of sSspirtualists,' and gradually
neglected his wife and children. His even
ings we're no longer spent at the domestic
hearth-stone At last, wife was torsaken, chill
dren were neglected, home was deserted. The
infatuated husband said he had a ssyision,"
Wherein it was revealed TO him that he must
forsake his wife and children, and become the
.ssoiritual husband'' of a certain esmedium''
with whom he was intimately acquainted. And
this he did-forsaking the true partner Of his
heart-the woman he had solemnly conyenan-
ted to watch over and protect, .'until death
them should part The deserted wife was
thus left to her own exertions for means of
| supporting herself and three children She
is now residing in a neighboring city, where
she manages to earn livelihood by dress ma
king; while her husband, she says, is living in
elegant luxury at a fashionable hotel, with his
.sspiritual wife. .''-Journa! Of Commerce.

Tlliz sngrlar substance, discovered By Dr..
Pviestly, in i776 vas brought iRto particular
notice by Sir Hunphry Dayy. the latter being
the iirst TO notice It's stimulating properties
When taken into the lungs it induces the most
agreeable state OF reverie OF intoAtcation, trs-
qUently accompanied with physical 50 ell IS
mental excitement. when lasts for few min
utes, and then subsidies witf;eut any unpless-
ant consequences. Persons who breathe it
feel an indescrihsble pleasure and happiness,
so much SO as TO induce laughter. and hence
the name (aughirg gas) given to this sub
stance. but which chemists call nitrous oxyd.
Enough laughing gas msy be prepared for
single experiment By heating two ounces of
nitrate OF ammonia in retort, having sslarge
bladder attached TO collect the gss. The
process is, first to insert into the neck of the
bladder wooden. pipe, +or stop-cock, made OF
elder, with the pith pushed out; next moisten
the bladder, and squeeze itup, to remove the
air; then fix it to the retort containing the nj
trate of ammonia. Now heat the salt with
sprit-lamp; it first iquifies. then boils and de-
composes, producing water (Which remains in
the retort) and the gas (Which passes into the
bladder}; when the bladeer is full, the expert
ment can be performed. Hold the bladder in
the leff hand, placing the thumb over the pipe
to retain the gas; with the right hand close the
nostrils; then empty the lungs hy along expira-
tom after which, insert into the mouththe pipe
attached to the bladder, and breathe the gas in
the same manner as if it was air; in one or two
minutes, if the experiment be successful, an
elysian sensation will follow more exquisite
than can be escrihed.-Seplimas Piesss.-

Right Kind Of Preaching.

1t was beautiful criticism made by Lon
ginus upon the effect of the speaking of Cicero
and Demosthenes. He says the people would
go from one of Cicero's orations exclaiming,
tSWhat beautiful speaker what rich fine
voice what an eloquent man Cicero is! !''-
They talked OF Cicero; but when they left De-
mosthenes, they said, 'sLet us fight Philipl"
Losing sight of the speaker, they were all abb
sorbed in the subject; they thought not of De-
mosthenes, but. of their country. So, my
brethern, let US endeavor TO send away from
our ministrations the Christian, with his
mouth full of the praise, not Of sour preacher
but of God; and the sinner, not descanting up
on the beautiful figures and well-turned peri
ods of the discourse, but inqniring, with the
brokeness of a penitent, What shall do to
be saved ~ SO shall we be blessed in our
work; and when called to leave the watch tow
ers of our spiritual Jerusalem, through the
vast serene. like the deepmelody of an angels
song, heaven s approving voice shall be heard
Servant of Sod well done!
Thy glorious warfare's past

And thou art crowned at last.

The Priee q success.

Effort is the price Of success in every de-
partment Of human action, From the attain
nent Of rudimental knowledge to the salvation
Of the soul, every step in our progress is made
by undaunted toll. The boy drones over his
book, slave to lstless laziness, thereby secu-
ring for himself place az the feet of society.
The Christian who, like Bunyan's Timorous
and MiStrust, fees at the voice of lions, is un-
done. The man who shrinks from difficulty in
his business or profession, who refuses to climb
bacause the rock is sharp, and the way steep,
must make up his mind to slide back and to lie
in the shadows below, while others use him as
a stepping-stone to their own rising. Z or this,
such is the constitution of society, there is no
hope The poet wrote truly who said
Thou must either soar or stoop,
Fall or triumph, stand droop;
Thou must either serve or govern
Must be slave must be sovereign
Must, in fine, be block or wedge; seH
Must be anvil or be sledge.f 4siF...
To shake eff an indolert spirit, or stir ones
selfto exertion, to reach constantly upward, to
struggle for firm foot-hold on the most slip
perry places, to wrestle nlanfully, even when
principalities and powers are our foes, to re-
fuse submission to any evils, however frown-
ing, are conditions we must either fulfil, ,or sink
tolittleness, to selessness-perchance to ruin.
Therefore, with brave heart and an uncon-
querable spirit, every man should address him
seIfto the work OF the day; striving with pure
views and religious trust for an increase of his
talent, and for victory, which viii enable him
to stand unabashed in the last day. He who
thus strives need fear no failure. His triumph,
