srRYcHSlA AND rTs ANTiporE-


In the last number of the Medical and
Surgical Journal, published in Richmond, we
rotice an article 10 it on the above powerful
and sudden poison. BY DR.. TewkesbuFy. Of
Maine. He ssys
The frequency With which strychnia is
used for poisoning purposes, has attracted
The serious attention not only Of medical men
but the public generally. Tho deadly GER
tainty With which it acts, the ease Of admin
stration, aud the difficulties which surround
every attempt to prove. with positive certain
ty, its presence in the stomach, all unite to
give this drug dreadful notoriety.
"Dr. I. then proceeds to mention instan-
ees Of bis having been called to see persons
who bad wilfully aud by mistake taken do
SEES of strychnia, and that be bad given them
aboutjtwo teaspoonsfull Of saturated solution
of eamphor, with manifest effecs and prompt
relief. He also tried it BY way of experiment
on dogs, and found that whenever be could
administer the camptor speedily enough. be
was successful in preventing the poison from
causing death.

TO TEACHERS.

Have you wicked pupil, one whose con,
science slumbers, whose soul is lost to cense
of shame whom you have vainly tried to
teach the good, the true the right ; who fills
your day with anxious care, your night with
sorrowing thought and whom you sometimes
question if you really love? Yet don't seek
to crush him with your power. lie has
mind and will as free as yours, distinct unbar-
mouizing. You carnot lead him! Must
he be sacrificed No. better far your rela-
tons dissolve and he &c free. If free to ru-
in you have not driven him there; restrain
you could not. Perhaps another hand may
gentle touch the chord you could not find
Another heart may find some sympathy where
you hated; not by more care, but being of
different nature may mould him to his will.
curb his fiery temper. cure his ieprosy and
build him up man. Then would your heart
rejoice and so would Heaven --Brolcaef

VIRTUE IN MAN.

We love to believe there is more moral
goodness than depravity b human nature
When we see one tear Of pity drop from the
eye, it gives us more pleasure than would the
finding of diamond. There is goodness =
real and unsel6sh--in the heart, and we have
often seen it manifest itself, to the making
of scene Of sorrow the vestibule of heaven.
For him who is always picking flaws in his
neighbours character, we have no sympathy.
He reminds us Of those birds which resort to
dead and decayed limbs of trees to feast on
the worms. In the characters of most men
we shall find more good than evil, more kind
ness than hate-and why should we pick out
the flaws, and pass over the sterling traits OF
character We hold this to be the true
doctrine to portray real goodness and hold
1t up to the gaze and admiration of all, while
we suffer the evil to remain in the shade and
die. If every picture ofhuman nature we're
only pure and beautiful, we are enclncd to
believe that we should have thousands OF
such characters living and loving around US.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

When the summer of youth is slowly was
ting away into the nightfall of age, aad the
shadows of past years grow deeper, and life
wears to its close, it is pleasant to look back
through the vista of time upon the sorrows
and felicities of our earliest years, If we
have home to shelter. and hearts to rejoice
with us, and friends have gathered together
around our fire sides, then The rough place
of our way -isripg will havs been worn and
smoothed away into the twilight of life, while
the many spots we have passed through, will
grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy
indeed. are they whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the tonc of their holier
feelings, or broken chords of the heart. whose
vibrations are so melodious, SO tender. and
so touching in the evening Of age.

A SCENE IN A PARTISAN BALLROOM.

A SCENE IN A PARTISAN BALLROOM.
Two years since. a young, beaStt::ss;a:i! end
rich lady of Bologna, married the descend
dant Of family well known to history,
whose illustrious name was all the fortune
which the bridegroom possessed; but the
generous Bologuese, in the ardor Of her at
tachment. overlooked the poverty Of her
lover, in the hope and expectation Of pro-
per return of her DISTINGUISHED love.
For year all was happiness; but last
summer, being on an excursion to Venice.
they formed an acquaintance with family
from Paris A young widow OF that family
very gay, beautiful and disseminating, and pos
sessed profusion of gold tresscs which might
have done honor to the head of an Eve or
Opbela, attracted the attentions Of the Mar
auis Della r. Her other charms
might have failed, but her beautiful riuglets
we're irresistible, and forgetting the attrac-
lions of his young and lovely marchesa,
