JouN ADAMs's REIGfoN-In the
new life of the second President Of the
United States, written by his grandson,
Charles Francis Adams, we are told
that John Adams devoted himself to a
very elaborate examination of .lle re-
ligion of all ages and nations, the res.
ult of which he committed to paper in
o desutory manner. 1.-The issue of it
was the formation of his theological
opinions very much in the mould ad-
apted by the Unjtarians of New Eng
land. Rejecting, with The independ-
ent spirit which in early life had driv
en- him from the ministry, the promi-
nent doctrines of Cavanism, the tripi-
ty, the atonement and election, he was
content to settle down upon the Ser
mon on the Mount as perfect code
presented to man by more than NOR
tai teacher Further, he declined to
analyze The mysterious nature Of his
mission. In this faith he lived with
uninterrupted serenity, and in it he
died with perfect resignation.
WHAT A HUMBUG!-A London cor
respondent of the New York Musical
Review, gives the American public the
amusing information that Julien, The
grand, is showing round crown of
gold, given to him when he was 10
this country by American musicians,
as a testimony Of the high opinion
they entertain Of his meritsp' Well ;
neither the American musicians, nor
any other musicians in this country,
ever did any thing Of the kind.
A Misery DoG.-Daniel Dancer,
when he had $4,000 a year. used to
beg pinch of snuff from all bis frinds
and when bis box was full, battered
its contents for tallow candle. But
his pa simonious ingenuity appears
contemplate in comparison with that
of the Russian miser who learned to
bark that he might avoid the expense
of keeping a dog.

pose OF promoting the educational interest of
the state, and our own County in particu-
lar. we have spared neither pains nor
expense In erecting a suitable building
Ior school purposes having regard, both to
tue heaitn and convenience Of the pupils,
as Also, to whatever may be conducive to
their mental and physical improvement. In
me, we feel assured that but few schools in
our State, highly favored as she is, can offer
superior inducements to those of the claSsi-
cal and mathematical Seminary of this place.
We hope and do expect largely to share the
public patronage.
Stricklandsville is one of the healthiest
villages in the eastern portion OF the State,
and presents but few inducements to affect
the morals of the pupils. The students will
be at liberty to attend either of the Churches
IN the village or neighborhood. +
Ihe Trustees have placed the Seminary
under the control of E. w. Adams, A. NJ, a
teacher OF much experience and success who
IN addition to his several dip~lomag brings

Prot. 0. j. Wood As you are about to manu-
facture and vend your recently discovered Hair
Restorative, | will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that 1 have used it, and known others to
use it-that l have, for several years, been in the
habit Of using other Hair Restoratives, and that
| find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know.
1t entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and with
one months proper use, will restore any persons
hair to the original youthful co.or and texture,
giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance ;
and all this, without discoloring the hands that
apply it, or the dress on which it drops. I would,
therefore, recommend its use to every one desir-
GUS of having n fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully, yours, WILSON KING.

Written for the Spirit Of the Age.
THE DEM0N.

Written for the Spirit of the Age.
THE DEMON.
Come to the -rescne-come;
Sad voices fill the air
yelling from many a smitten home,
Like a mingled wall and prayer.
n foe is in our land,
More fell than Siroc's breath
Shedding the blight Of his whitening wand,
Like frost on the brow of death.
Hes a subtle fiery fend,
The spirit and lite of flame!
Taxing the strength of the free wild wind,
And the savage speed Of steam.
Around the world he has gone;
Ten thousand mix his cup:
Aud bolt the earth with a low deep groan,
Like the dirge Of peace and hope.
lie touches the human lip,
And mercy and truth depart,
And a pang like the sting of Il scorpion whip,
Glides quivering through the heart.
lie enters the 'fenceless town,
Walled city and village fair
And beauty and honor and worth overthrown,
Lie down with red shame in its lair.
The Poet sweetly sung,
or Hope and its matin dream
But the eyeninghal with his blasphemy rung,
And bis spirit grew dark as bis theme.
How bright was the youthful brow,
With the sooth Of coming years !?
How horrid, how lurid the brand on it now,
Like guilt unannoiRted with tears.
How mild was the head Of age,
With the silver dust Of time ?
But now might it sit, for the portrait of rage,
Grown grey with the mildew Of crime.
Yon mountain bore u cot,
Like an Eyrie stepped in light.
But q blackuess now, broods Ger the blasted
spot
Like the char Of the lightning's blight,
Yon valley held o home,
Such as love and joy create
But it withered as touched by the signet OF
doom
Or banned by the demon Of hate.
Through all our glorious land,
On almost every heart;
is the fostering print Of his cancerous brand
Or the wound Of his deathly dart,
Oh! come to the rescue, come
Sad voices fill the air;
yelling from many a smitten home,
Like n mingled wall and prayer.
