The Pen AND THE Sword" Now look
aside," said Jerrold, "and contemplate Gods
image with musket! What fine thing is
war! Yes dress it as you may, dress it and
feather it, daub it with gold, huzza it, and
sing staggering songs about it-what is it,
nine cases out of ten, but murder in uniform
Cain taking the sergeants shilling? Yet, O
man of war! at this very moment, you are
shrinking whitening, like an aged giant. The
finger of opinion has been busy at your
plumes-you are not the feathered thing you
was; and this little tube, the goose-quill, has
sent its silent shots into your huge anatomy
and the corroding ink, even while you look
at it, and think it shines so brightly, is eat
ing, with tooth of iron, into your shining
sword"

WHAT RELIGION Is.-Whatever definitions
men have given Of religion, l can find none
so accurately descriptive Of it as this--that it
is such belief of the Bible as maintains a
living influence upon the heart. Men may
speculate, criticise, admire, dispute about,
doubt, or believe the Bible; but the religious
man is such because he SO believes it, as to
carry practical sense of its truths on his
mind.

DREADFUL.-A beautiful girl, only fifteen
years of age, was recently brought before
Boston Police Magistrate. A year ago she
moved in the best circles in Cambridge, be-
loved and respected by all who knew her;
but she became acquainted with rich stu
dent of cold Harvard" in an evil hour was
ruined, driven from her home, and took up
abode in a brothel. Such is a brief history of
thousands. Det. Daily Times.

FEMALE EDUcATIoN.-Mrs Malaprop who
fourished in the days of Sheridan, had her
own views on the subject of female education,
and as we have not seen them plainly exhib-
tied to the public eye for long time, we may
be doing benefit by reproducing her plan of
education for a young woman, as laid down in
the Rivals"
Mrs. M" Observe me Sir Anthony. |
would by no means wish daughter of mine
to be a progeny Of learning; | don't think SO
much learning becomes young woman; for
instance would never let her meddle with
Greek, or Hebrew, or Algebra, or Simony, or
Fmxions, or Paradoxes, or such inhammatory
branches of learning; nor will it be necessary
for her to handle any of your mathematical,
astronomical, diabolical Instruments; but Sir
Anthony, would send her at nine years old
to boarding-school, in order to learn little
ingenuity and artifce. Then, sir, she should
have supercillious knowledge in accounts !;
and as she grew up, Iwould have her instruct
ed in geometry, that she might know some
thing of the contagious countries; above all,
she should be taught orthodoxy. This, Sir
Anthony, is what would have woman know
and | don't think there is a superstitious arti-
Gle in it."

1t is said that these venerable chieftains,
Scott and Jessup, have, within few days, ex-

ANOTHER DEGREE NEEDED.-Somebod
suggests that the American party, to render
it perfect, needs fourth degree, under which
members shall pledge themselves not to seek
Office. The Boston Atlas is of the opinion
there would not be much knocking at that
door.

The DARK BEvERAGE.-The Rev. DIR.
Tying, of New York, in late speech in that
city, uttered the following eloquent and truth
full remarks. He quoted the poet who styled
rum "the dark beverage of hell" and then
asked: A t. . l
"Did Heaven ever mix such cup for
man? Amid all the dews that descended
from Hermon's SHOWS upon lions happy top,
does one drop of alcohol come down? Amid
all the floods that pour down from the AL
pine heights that fertilize and beautify Eu-
ropes wales, does one single drop of alcohol
come down? Amid all the ripping fountains
that cause the bloom of many glen and syl-
van bank in all our western hills and woods,
does one single drop of alcohol ever flow? p
Did heaven ever mix cup like this for man?
Could earth do it! No; verify believe this
child of sorrow has touched the actual fact of
its own origin, the dark beverage of hell,
and the great being, the agent of evil-men
may question his existence, while they are
pulling in the traces of his labor--the great
being, the instrument of evil alone, can tell
either the fell purpose of its origin, or the full
products Of its effects" eri sH to.r

p How HE woN.--Rev. E. II. Chaplin, in his
remarks at the Universal festival, in Faneuil
Hall, alluded to the Emperor Napoleon as
"the imperial gambler of France, who had
won his throne with dice made from the
bones of the great Napoleon"

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY,

sutfocating point is brought out, followed by
the Mercury and no devil, with his pockets
plethoric with dough-nuts-what has become
of that old-fashioned twisted luxury ?-and a
tin horn tethered to button-hole by a bit OF
green string. 1t is with sort of sheepish
importance that he mounts by aid of the Pro
prietor, and wends his way, as they were very
fond of saying, " out in the country" as if the
old Village, was not positively lost in the very
bosom of it. 8
And so he went, his horn resounding amid
the solitudes, and he as happy as knight
fresh from tournament And that was the
an. s. E. w." the Neacs of those old days.
But what there was in the Gazette, and who
they were that read it, must be passed over
in the silence like that, that now alas, hangs
like great wing over the most of them--the
fairest, and loveliest and best.

TREATMENT OF THE CHoLERA.-Mr. E. w.
Lane, the well known Eastern traveller, gives
this receipt for the treatment of the cholera:
If the patients have vomited the poisonous
matter which is characteristic of the disease,
and which resembles rice water, give table
spoonful of powerful mustard in a tumbler of
cold water as an emetic. After the vomiting
whether produced by the disease or the a
bove means) within few minutes give
wine glass of brandy, with ten grains Of pow
dered capsicum Cayenne pepper) stirred up.
This generally produced almost immediate re-
lief; and in an hour, rest, perspiration and
sleep. In few cases it was found necessary
to give half dose of the brandy and caps-
cum, after an hour or more. A second half
dose was never required; but should it be re-
quired, it may be given. To accelerate con-
valescence, it has been suggested that fifteen
drops of a mixture of spirits Of ammonia and
sulphuric ether, in equal proportions, may be
given three or four times the following day.
