Good Liquor.

A correspondent who FILES Life Illustrated
desires Us to re-pnblish, from the IVaer-Cure
Journal, the following Model Grafton, and we
cheerfuily comply.-ED. LIFE,] = ~
LIeUID ELoQuENcE.-Paul Denton, a
Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised a
harbacue, with better liquor than was usu-
ally furnished. When the people were as
sembled, a desperate in the crowd sang
out exultingly: ~
"Paul Denton, your reverence has lied
You promised US, not only good bar
bacue, but better liquor. Where is the
liquor?"
"Therew answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and (says Yankee CO.
temporary pointing his motionless finger
at the matchless double spring, gushing up
in two strong columns, with sound like a
shout of joy from the bosom of earth
"Theren be repeated, with look terrible
as the lightning his enemy actual
ly trembled at his feet-"there is the IL
quor which God, tie Eternal, brews for all
his children! Not in the simmering still,
over smoky fires, choked with poisonous
gases, and surrounded with the stencil of
sickening odors and rank corruptions, doth
your Father in heaven prepare the precious
essence of life-.he pure cold water-but
in the green glade and grassy dell, where
the red deer wanders and the child loves to
play; there God brews it; and down, low
down in The deepest valleys, where the
fountain murmurs and the nlls sing-and
high upon the tall mountain tops, where
the naked granite glitters like gold in the
sun, where the storln-cloud broods and the
thunder-storms crash-and away out on
the wide, wild sea, where the hurricane
howls music, and the. big waves roar the
chorus, sweeping the march of God-there
he brews it, that beverage of. life, health
giving water! And everywhere it is
thing of beauty, cleaning in the dew drop,
singing in the summer rain; shining in
the ice gem, till the trees all seem turned
to living jewels; spreading agolden vail
over the setting sun, or a white gauze
around the midnight moon; sporting in the
cateract; sleeping in the glacier; dancing
in the hail-shower; folding its brigh snow
curtains softly about the wintry world and
wearing the many colored iris, that seraphs
zone Of the sky-whose warp is the ram
drop of earth, whose wool is the sunbeam
of heaven; all checkered over with the ce
ilestial flowers, by the mystic hand of re-.
fraction. Still always it is beautiful
that blessed life-water! No poison bubbles
on its brink; its foam brings no madness
or murder; no blood stains its liquid glass;
pale idows and starving orphans find no
tears inits depths; no drunkard's shrek
ing ghost from the grave curses it in words
of eternal despair. Speak ont my friends
would you exchange it for the demons

County Papers--Their Use.

County papers are of much more use
than people generally imagine.
| They very naturally aid in directing pub
lie attention to matters in which every cit
zsns of the county, is more or less interes-
ted. s SIS
They contribute in a variety of ways to
the formation of public opinion, on sub
jects of public interest.
They furnish very convenient mediums
for discussion of questions of local interest
They aid in giving character and impor-
tance to the. county in which they are pub
lished.
They stimulate taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course of one year, a
vast amount of useful information, much Of
which would not reach a portion of the
readers through any other channel. -
They are of essential use in family, in
fostering taste for reading among children.
County papers enjoy an advantage over
papers published at distance, because
many Of their items are of local inter-
est, which naturally attract a childs at
tention. The advertising columns of these
are particularly attractive to class of rea-
ders. r
They are of essential service in publish
ing various items Of local intelligence in
which the citizens are more or less interest
ed, but of which many would remain un-
informed, were it not for these papers. sf
In short-county papers add in great
variety of ways to the character, intelli-
gence and prosperity of the county in
which they are published; and therefore
have strong claim for support upon all
who are indirectly benefited by them.
As the objection we now frequently hear
urged against the support Of country pa
pers, that the price at which it may be af-
forded depends mainly upon the number
Of its subscribers. The chief expense in
the publication of q paper, consists in set
ting UP the matter. One thousand, OF
even ten thousand copies can.be furnished
at small addition to the cost over and
above the cost of composition.-E Exchange.

THE TELEGRAPH1c CABLE.-The editor
of Philadelphia Bulletin has been shown a
specimen of tellegraphic cable which is to
connect Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
The Bulletin says:
This cable, wich is much heavier than
that which is to be carried across from New
foundfand to Ireland, will be about ninety
miles long. 1t weighs about two tons to
the mile, and costs a thousand dollars ton,
or two thousand dollar mile. Wire pull
lers of all kinds would have their hands
full if they took hold of such wires.

E Wash your gun barrels in spirits of
turpentine, by dipping rag or spnnge fas-
tened on your gun rod into the liquid, and
swabbing them out two or three times,
when they will be cleaned from all impu-
mites, and can be used almost instantly, as
the turpentine will evaporate, and leave the
barrels dry. After being washed thus,
there is no danger of rust, as when water is
used. l am an old and experienced gun
ner, and have practised this for years.

return to the message. More than
half of it is occupied in attempting to cas-,
reproach upon members Of Congress, State
Legislatures, and the people, for thinking
their own thoughts and speaking their own
words. This, sir, has been the theme Of
tyrants, .despots, and oiigarchs, in all ages
Of the world. Eighteen hundred years
since, it presented the principal difficulty
in. establishing cur holy religion. 20 Its
founder met the intolerant rulers Of that
day in language Of stern defiance. He
pronounced woe unto scribes, pharisees,
and hgpocrites. The same intolerance ex
hibited in this message caused the arrest
and eaei6xion of the immaculate Naza-
rene; and since that period Christianity
and civilization have contended against it.
During the dark ages, intolerance reigned
throughout the world. Tyrants and priests
dictated to men what they should believe
and what they should speak. The Inqui-
sition, the rack, the torture, anathemas and
maledictious, held the world in ignorance,
until the lamp of Christianity family flick
cred in the socket. = - -
When the Reformation broke out, men
began to think and speak their thoughts
intelligence increased, Christianity extend
cd, and civilization beamed upon the earth
with increased splendor; but it has not YET
overcome the spirit of religious and civil
despotism. Here, in our own land, we
have seen tyranny in various forms. Fol
