EARLY TEAcHINGs.-We oil know, though
perhaps few Of US ever thought about il
how common it is in Sunday school story
books to make all the good little children die
and go to heaven.
The effect OF such literature on the infant
mind is shown in the ease OF sweet little boy
four years old, who on kissing his mother
goodnight as she put him to bed, said:
snow, ma, would like to be the coolest
little son in the world, il wasn't afraid to
be-,
"Why, Johnny"
"0h," returned the little fellow, "you
know that good children nil die; and want
to stay with you and papa. don't want to
die yet.'
ono, dear. many good little ones live to
grow up and become good and great men -
said the mother.
s'Do they?" asked the child, as his great
eyes opened in wonder. u did not know
that. know'd Jossy Grey 'haved like a
good boy, but thought he was wicked inside,
or else he would die fore he grew 80 big.o
"What made you think SO, little darling?o
"Why, ma, Mary Lo,hrop and Nathan
Dickerman, and all the Tract Society child
rem, died-and all the good little ones you
tell me stories about die, and are buried in
little short graves"

PEprEKxISr. Somebody has been looking
after peppermint statistics. II is stated thnt
In two towns of ST. Joseph county, Mich,
IN 1855, $4,000 pounds OF the oil were pro.
daced, which brought in the New York mark
ct $3pcr pound. From to IL pounds are
produced from On acre Of the plant. The
first crop requires good deal OF care, but
the next two years il yields without attention.
After the third year the crop must rotate, in
order TO rest the land The mint is cut in
August and the oil extracted BY distillation,
filtered through flannel, and put up in tin
cans for market.

fr- Now tha, the rat poisoning story AT
the National Hotel Is positively denied, and
that The Board OF Health have reported the
sewerage oil the house, though defective, not
much worse than that Of other hotels in
Washington, there seems but one other mode
OF accounting sasisfactorially for this wide
spread sickness, aud that is, that it was
caused by iniasm generated by the crowding
together in an i'll ventilated hotel Of the cor
ruption OF the Democratic party.

GO Bayard Taylor returned TO Stockholm,
from his winter tou- in L.rlrnd, about Tire
middle of February. The most northern
point reached by him and his companions
was kautokrino, in Finmark, 69deg north lat.
itude. They travelled in Lapland costume, on
sleds drawn by reindeer, and were objects of
great interest with the natives, as Taylor was
the first American seen in those parts.s

THg NEW METAL.--Alnmnum begins. il
appears, to come into nore general use, at
least in Paris. The eagles which surmoun,
the colors OF the French army, hitherto
made OF copper, gilt by galvanism, are now
made IN aluminium, thus tightening the
weight Of the flag by nearly two and three
fourths pounds. Aluminium is more sono-
rous than bronze, and is consequently
brought into use for musical instruments.
spoons and forks, drinking cups, &c., have
also been formed from this article. The
weight of the new metal is about one fourth

The NATIONAL HorEL DisEAsE.-A letter
has been published from Messrs Grey l.
Briggs, proprietors Of the National Hotel
at Washington, in answer to the father of
the young lady at Newark, New Jersey, who
suffered severely from the hotel disease.--
They say
''We are deeply panied to learn OF the suf-
ferngs OF yourself and family, caused by
sickness contracted at our house, and we
will most oheerfully furnish you with any
information in our power relative to the
cause OF the disease. An examination has
been made by the Board Of Health, together
with the Mayor and physicians Of the city,
and testimony was taken from many guests
OF the house, and also from occupants of
stores in the building; and all have given it
os their opinion that the sickness was caused
by the public sewers connecting with those
of the hotel. Alterations were made las,
fall in the public sewer at the corner near
our hotel, and thereby the current of foul air
sent into the hotel, producing what our ply
scians call blood poison.
IL has been current report that the sick
ness was caused by poisoned rats getting
into the water tanks. This story is lie,
without foundation. We do not believe il
possible that any poison could have been put
into the food, as we know that persons have
been attacked with the disease, who frequent
ed the house, and never tasted food in it. The
unfortunate affair has worked our ruin"

ST.. GEORGE OF ENGLAND A HunBuG.-
George of Cappadocia, born at Epiphanin,
in Cilicia, was low parasite, who got la
crative contract to supply the army with ba-
con. ARGUE and informer, he got rich and
had to run from justice. lie saved his
money, embraced Arianism, collected libra
ry and got promoted by faction to the
Episcopal throne Of Alexandria. When Ju.
liam came, A. ID. Sol, George was thrown
into prison the prison was burst open hy
the mob, and George was lynched, as he de-
served. And this precious knnve became, in
good time, st. George of England, patron
OF chivalry, emblem of victory and civility,
and the pride OF the best blood of the mod
ern world. Strange that tho solid. truth
speaking Briton should derive from an i'm
poster Strange that the New World should
have no better luck--that broad America
must wear the name of a thief Amerigo
Vespucci, the pickle dealer at Seville, who
went out in l440, a subaltern with Hojeda,
and whose highest naval rank was boat
swans mate in an expedition that never
sailed, managed in this lying world to sup
plant Columbus, and baptise half the world
with his own dishonest name. Thus nobody
can throw stones. We are equally badly off
in our founders and the false pickle dealer
is an Offset to the false bacon seller.-IR. w
