DR.. John Mingo, Of the city of Richmond, though
a regular physician, and OF icourse opposed 10 what
he called qunck medicines, was obi iged to say that
its good effects in the case Of MIR. Ramsey, were
wonderful indeed.

tried most OF the quack medicines, and was on the
verge ofdespur, well as the grave, when he tried

PRoPER RENDERING OF ScRPTURE.--The
rendering of scripture which declared peace
on Earth between he good and bad, always
seemed to us to be Pecksniffian. Kossutt
has published letter to thu. .Quakers,in reply
to their request to him to join The Peace So
ciety. He answers them on their own
grount-ie., scriptura authority, and defends
fighting with vigor, perfe-ring war TO oppres-
sion. He says the common version of the
message, ."Peace on Earth and good will to
,nep," is wrong. He adheres to the Vulgate
as translated in the Douay Bible, "Glory to
God in the highest, aud on Earth peace t.
men of good will" He gave this rendering
in one Of his speeches in America,and it gave
rise to a great controversy at the time. He
says to the Quukers:
"You say it is written, GLORY TO God in the
highest, and peace on earth, good will toward
man
but | say unto you, your version of the
Gospel is opocryphal. The text ruus thus
GLORY 70 God in the highest, and peace OF
earth 10 good-willing men, (Gio'ia in ercelsi'
Dec, et 1'ur in terra homiatJus, bono uo!untatis.
"Your doctrine Of peace at any price. unc
war at no price,, is good will to iIlwi!linl
men, and ill-will to good-williDg men,"

ETBJ invitation of the Board of Education
we were present at Mr.. Moere's school On
Friday afternoon. The examination Of the
classei was not the principal feature in the
exercises, but was nevertheless, very inter-
esting. The main exercise was the reading
of the papers published by the scholars
Since our last report from :his school the
young men have complied with our sugges-
ton, and started paper called the "Wids
Awake." The productions in both papers
we're prsiseworthy inasmuch as they guve
evidence of talent in writing, though the
subjects were in some cases objectionable.
Personalities commenced IN good humor
lead finally to hard feelings, which in
school are always TO be deprecated. We re-
peat, however, that this plan Of composition
possesses advantages that the. old plan Goes
not, doing away with diffidence, and res
traint.
Our thanks are due the Young ladies' Of
"TAe School Gem" for their "puf'." On all
proper occasions we shall endeavor to recip.
rocste. We hope they may all persevere
and make Of themselves Mrs. Stoves, Fanny
Ferns, Irvings, Emerssns, Dickens, and Coo.

Providence VS.. Old Zip.

John Phoenix, of the California Pion-
Ger, is 7. c. He gets up some Of the
best things of the day. Here is one of
bis last efforts -
Down on the old plantation writes
an esteemed friend, a planter and his
favorite slave Zip stood upon the piazza
Of the Mansion House gazing at the wea-
ther A furious storm Of rain was ra-
gipg, accompanied by thunder and light
ming. 'Nassa,' said Zip, hadn't | better
20 drive in the cattle?' 'Oh no, they'll
do well enough the storm will soon be
over, and a little rain won't hurt them
any way" "But, massa, does fine hor-
ses under the tree; too bad to leah them
ous in the rain. | 60 dribe them in. :
You need not trouble yourself, Zip; they
arc ali right; we'll trust them to ProVi-
,jence BuS you'd better come in out Of
fLe rain Yourself So saying, his master
turned and went into the house. Zip,
protesting against such trustee, and ex-
tremely anxious for the fate OF tee hoISGS'
followed his example, but as soon as the
storm was over he took stroll arou2d
the farm to estimate the extent Of the
damages; and there, directly under the
tree where they had been standing, he
found both horses dead they had been
struck by lightning Half in triumph,
half in dole, he ran to the house and ex-
claimed, Dare, Massa, what tell you?"
What's the matter, Zip?" Didn't tell
YOU so?' Yes, but what's the matter 2
Dare both of the horses dead as stones
struck deak by lightning; yo~ trust to
Providence You'd better trusted old

Love, Babies and Butchers Bills.

| There is probably no business in which
common sense is less needed than in that
Of love. The moment girl begins to
think of "orange blossoms" that moment
she bids farewell to reason, and plunges
into a sort Of lunacy, from which all the
eloquence in the world cannot extricate
her.
Driving a baulky horse is a pleasant
business, and SO is the attempt to wean a
Jackass from thstles; but what are baulk Y
horses and jackasses compared to the
'stakiness of girl, because young gen.
tlcman with hollow cheeks and bright blue
combinations, gets upon the cellar door
every night, and pours his love into her
ear through the medium of four and
nine penney flute? Nothing absolutely
nothing! Difficult as it is for fresh cod
to climb creased liberty pole, with a
kicking boy in it's mouth, we should much
sooner go about to look for such phe-
nomenon, than to hunt up girl with an
indamed heart that would listen to "good
advice or who could be made to believe,
for one moment that the enjoyments of
the hymeuial life depended at all on the
frequency of bread, or the price of butch
er's meat. Even prodigals have not so
hearty a contempt for money as have those
whom Cupid has innoculated with virus
Of "beati6c lunacy." As they have no
appetites while they are courtiDg, they
imagine that their demads for corned beef
and cabbage will always find substitute
in sigbs and huggings, How they de.
