The Country Press.

The following sensible and merited re-
marks are copied from an Eastern paper
entitled Life Illustrated" Pursue them
carefully and profit by Il cir teachings:
We have observed with great satisfac-
ton the marked improvement which has
taken place in our country newspapers
within the last few years. They are now
not only printed with better materials on
an improved quality of paper, presenting
in general highly creditable appearance,
but what is still more important, they are
edited with much greater degree of tai
ent, industry and taste than formerly
To improve them still further in quality,
nothing is necessary but more liberal pa
tronage. Let the people come forward
and let their local newspapers have vi
der circulation, fll all their columns with
good paying advertisements. and the
thing is done. Everybody is benefited
and nobody injured. The subscriber and
the advertiser get the value of their mo-
ney many times over. while the publish
er and editor are enabled to devote their
exclusive attention to the paper and live
thereby.
Every farmer. fruit-grower and nur-
seryman has produce to sell; let him ad'
vertise. Every mechanic, merchant, and
manufacturer has goods, implements and
wares to sell, let him advertise.
Professional men and women, such as
teachers. physicians, lecturers and preach
ers, need to keep themselves before the
public by means of the press, let then
advertise. All legitimate business, every
calling and pursuit of life, may b'
brought and kept before the world, by
means of the newspaper press. A vel
devised system put into practice ant
properly carried out in that direction
would place every newspaper on higl
and add Immediately to the wealth Of th'
world.

Advantages Of Female Education.

Due cultivation of the female mind
would add greatly to the happiness Of
males, and still more to that of females.
Time rolls on, and when youth and beau
ty vanish, fine lady who never entertain
ed thought into which an admirer did
not enter, finds in herself lamentable
void. occasioning disc ntent and peevish-
ness. But a woman who has merit i'm
proved by yirtuous and refined educa-
ton retains in her decline an influence o.
yer the men more fattering than that of
beauty; she is the delight of her friends
as formerly of her admirers. Admirable
would be the effects of such refined edu-
cation, contributing no less TO public good
than to private happiness. A man, who
at present must degrade himself into a
fop or coxcomb in order to please the
women, would soon discover that their
favor.is not to be gained but by exerting
every maly talent in public and in private
life; the two sexes instead of corrupting
each other, would be rivals in the race
Of virtue, mutual esteem would be to each
a school of urbanity; and mutual desire
of pleasing, would give smoothness to
their behaviour, delicacy to their senti-
ments, and tenderness to their passions
|
Married women in particular, destined by
nature to take the lead IN educating their
children, would not longer be the greater
obstruction to good education by their ig
norance, frivoli:y, and disorderly manner
Of living.

The MahOmetan.

Mahometan honesty is what strikes the
Christian in the East more forcibly than
any other trait of character. There
seems to be no distress SO d ,ep, and no
temptation SO great as to induce follow
er Of the prophet to take what does not
belong to him, or in any pecuniary way to
wrong friend or foe. The history of hu-
man society does not show an instance
where the. teaching of any one man has
made such lasting impressions as Ma
home:'s in,,this particular. Centuries have
gone, but his standard of honesty has not
been lowered among his followers-and
no Christian community in Europe or A
merica, can in this begin to compare with
them. Theft is a crime unknown to
them, and but one single instance Of rob
berry has happened in Turkey for twenty
years. A recent writer, speaking upon
this point says: "While travelling, it is
not uncommon to see Janissary enter
the Ca6ne, heave several bags of gold in
a corner. and go out to sleep with his
horse! A merchant returning from
Smy rna, travelling early in the morning
saw horse tied to an olive tree, and Sc.
veral bags lying on the ground. Curiosi'
ty led him to examine them-he found
that they all contained gold, and that sew.
eral of the peices had nearly worked
through the cloth. On looking around
he saw a Janissary. at q distance IN pro
found sleep. Friend said the merchant
on waking him, whose gold is that? .

But are you not afraid to leave it there?

A Case of Circumstantial Evidence I.


The following anecdote appropos of
the gold medals-some Of them OF great
value-which the French Government is
distributing to the members Of the Inter
national Jury and others. is related by
the cor espondent Of the Courier des
Etats Unis' ..,.. :.
The scene is laid in a drawing room at
Paris. One Of the company was show
ing gold medal which had been award
ed him; and which was worth FIVE thou
sand francs. The medal passed from
hand to hand. and when half an hour af-
terwards, the owner asked for it again it
was not to be found. Every nook and
corner was searched. but in. vain. This
sudden disappearance produced consider
able agitation in the company. which was
select, but numerous, and finally some pro-
posed that every one should be search
! ed, the men by the men, and the women
by the women. All the persons present
eagerly signifed their assent, with the
exception of single individual, who had
been presented that very night for the
first time in the house. This man de-
clare,l very calmly. but very decidedly
that he could not consent TO be searched.
The effect these words produced, may be
easily imagined. Itwas no longer doubt
ed that he was the robber. and the gen
tleman who introduced him seemed more
dead than alive.
! The master Of the house was about
turning the supposed thief into the street
and the owner Of the medal had alre ady
entreated the company to forget the cir.
cumstance, when lady having riser
from her seat, 10! the missing medal sud

prodigious. A cry Of joyful surprise re

The London Piess ON the Birth OF the
Prince.


The London Times referring to the
birth Of an heir of the French Emperor.
says:
But, while hoping for the child that has
lust entered into this world Of troubles
and vicissitudes, less checkered and
more auspicious fate than has waited up
on his predecessors born in the purple, we
cannot forget the teachings Of history, par
ticularly the history of France, nor be
blind 10 the many chances which inter-
pose themselves between the cradle and
the throne of the baby Emperor.
Not little remarkable is it to observe
that from the accession of Louis XIV, to
the present time, not single King or
Governor of France. though none OF
them. with the exception q Louis XVIII.
have been childless, has been succeeded
at his demise by his son. Louis XIV.
survived his son. his grandson, and sew
eral of his great grandchildren. and was
succeeded atlast by one of the younger
children of his grandson, the Duke of Bur-
gundy. Louis XIV. survived his son, and
was succeeded by his grandson. Louis
XVI. Louis XVI. left a son behind him
but that son perished in the filthy dun.

had confined him. The King of Rome,

Louis XVII. was, as we have said, child
less. The Duke de Berri fell by the hand
of an assassin in the life time of Charles x
and his son, the Duke De Aordeaus, i
an exile from the land which his ancestor.
regarded as their own estate. The eldes
son of Louis Philippe perished by an un
timely accident, and his grandson AMI

grandfather.

of 200 years in no one of the dynasties t.
