Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, faint, or corrup-
ton, of the blood, by which this fluid be-
comes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in
the circulation, it pervades the whole body,
and may burst out i'll disease on any part of it.
No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there
one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous
faint is variollsly caused by mercurial disease
low living or disordered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the de-
pressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal
infection. Whatever be it, origin, it is heredi-
tary in the constitution, descending from par
ents "to children unto the third and fourth
generation I" indeed, it seems to be the rod
of Him who says, 81 will visit the iniquities
of the fathers upon their children"
Its effects. commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt OF ulccrous mattel which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tubeTcles; in the glands swcllings; and on
the surface eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most OF the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and MANY
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and indeed, of all the organs, arise from Or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking con-
tanination, and their health is undermined by
it. 10 cleanse it from the system we must
renoyate the blood by an Alternative medicine,
and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

INFLUENRE OF Holy LIFE-There is an
energy of moral suasion in good mans life
passing the highest efforts OF the orators gen.
ius. The seen but silent beauty of holiness
speaks more eloquently Of God and duty than
the tongues of men and angels. Let parents
remember this. The best inheritance pa
rent can bequeatht to child is virtuous ex-
ample, legacy of hallowcd membranes
and associations. The beauty of holiness
beaming through the life of a loved relative
or friend IS more effectual to strengthen
such as do stand in virtues ways, and raise
up those that are bowed down, than precept,
command, entreaty, or warning. Christiani-
ty itself, l believe, owes by far the greater
part Of its moral power, not to the precepts
or parallels of Christ, but to His own char
acter. The beauty of that holiness which is
enshrined in the four brief biographies of the
Man Of Nazareth, has done more, and will do
more to regenerate the world and bring in
everlasting righteousness, than all the other
agencies put together. 1t has done more to
spread His religion in the world than all that
has ever bien preached or written on the ev-
licences Of Observation-Disclosures.

WORTH CoNsIDERING.--The following par
agraph from the pithy sayings of Ralph W.
Emerson, contains food for reflection for a
good many ladies and fast men-and not for
g fast men only, but for old d" fogies" as well.
We give it for the benefit of all whom it
may concern:
ave spend our income for paint and pa
per, for hundred trifes, know not what,
and not for the things of men. 1t lis for cake
that we run in debt; It's not the intellect, not
the heart not beauty, not worship, that costs so
much We dare not trust our wit for max
ing our house pleasant to onr friend, and SO
we buy ice-creams. He is accustomed to
carpets, and we have not sufficient character
to put floor cloths out of his mind whilst he
stays in the house, and so we pile the floor
with carpets. Let house rather be a tenn
pie for the furies of Lacedemon, formidable
to all, which none but Spartan may enter
or SO much as behold. As soon as there is
society, comfts and cushions will be lett for

TIE BEST PHILosopHY-The propriety of
cultivating feelings of benevolence towards
our fellow creatures is seldom denied in the
ory, however frequently the duty may be
omitted in practice. 1t has been recommen.
ded by the eoquence ofheathen philosophers
and enfol ced by some extraordinary exam
Piles of heather philanthropy; but as the
foundation on which they built their beauti-
full theories of virtue were narrow and con-
fined, the superstructure was frail and per-
ishable, and never Was the true foundation
discovered, till brought to light by Jesus
Christ. He first taugh how the obstacles to
, benevolence were to be removed, by conquer
ing that pride, self-love and vain glory which
had till then, constituted part of the cato
logue of human virtues. 1t first taught the
universally of its extent, by connecting it
with the love of the common Father and
Benefactor of ALL and made the love Of our
fellow creatures the test and criterion Of our
love to the Creator, while from true devotion
to the Supreme Being, He thought that be-
nevolence to man must necessarily flow. He
likewise taught that upon all who were con-
WINGED of these truths, and were anxious to
fulfill the divine assistance would be bestowed
He alone ennobled virtue by the assurance Of
an eternal reward.

ABOUT MARRIAeE.-Robert Southey says
man may be cheerful and contented in cell
bacy but do not think he can ever be happy;
it is an unnatural state and the best feelings Of
his nature arc never called into action. The
risks of marriage are for the greater part on
the womon's side. Woman have SO little
the power of choice, that it is not perhaps
fair to say that they are less likely to choose
we'll than we are; but am persuaded that
they are more frequently deceived in the at.
tachments they form, and their opinions con-
corning men are less accurate than mems
opinion of their sex. Now, if lady were
to reproach me for having said this, should
only reply that it was another mode of say
ing there are more good wives in the world
than there are good husbands, which l verify
believe. know of nothing which goo(
and sensible man is SO certain to find, if h,
looks for it, as good wife,

TREASURES IN HEAyEN.-We read Of a
philosopher who, passing through mart fill
cd with articles of taste and luxury, made
himself quite happy with this simple, yet
sage reflection :" How many things there
are here that I do not wantw Now, that is
just the reflection with which the earnest be-
lever passes happily through the world. 1t
is richly furnished with what are called good
things. 1t has posts of honor and power to
tempt the restless aspirings of ambition Of
every gra e. 1t has gold and gems, houses
and lands. for the covetous and ostentatious
It has innumerable bowers of taste and luxu-
ry, where self-indulgence may revel. But
the Christian whose piety is deep-toned, and
whose spiritual perceptions are clear, looks
over tho world and exclaims, How much
there is here that I do not want [ have
what is far better. My treasure is in hea.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other atfec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERupTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, Or ERYsIpELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTuLEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and Bons, TUMoRs. TErTRR
and SALT RuTuM, ScALD HEAD, RISGwoKM,
RHEUMATISM, SyPHnrr1c and MgEcUHIAL Dis
EASES, DRopsy, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impurityo Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this SarSapa-
rilla is to purify and regeneratc this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Good Humor.

Among all the essentials OF success IN the
school-room. none perhaps is more important
or more difficult of possession at all times,
than good humor. If the eacher has this
quality naturally, the love of mischief,
carelessness and inattention which he will
surely find i'll every school, in greater or
less degree will put his good humor to the
test, especially as his head cannot always be
free from pain, nor his body from WEAKNESS.
We do not mean by the term which we
have used, that everlasting, meaningless smlrk
which we have sometimes seen on teachers
faces. Neither do we mean that the teacher
is never to speak reprovingly, perhaps some
times severely Yea, he may be obliged to
administer stern discipline, even with the
rod. But we do mean that state of mind
which should proceed from real love of his
business and his pupils, from making due al
lowance for annoyances and delinquencies
from which he cannot reasonably expect to be
wholly free, and from not expecting more OF
scholars than it is reasonable to expect from
frail humanity in its juvenile stage.
! This state Of mind will save its happy
possessor from all peevishness, all whining
and snappish remarks to his scholars; even
if he is obliged to administer the sternest dis
cipline, he will do it in such spirit that
permanent resentment can hardly follow it,
for the pupil will see that it is done from a
sense of duty and regard for his own good.
If the teacher possesses such spirit, he is
better fitted to grapple with any difficulty
which may present ITSELF while by its loss he
can gain no possible advantage.
We doubt not that all teachers will agree
with us that 1t is no small matter to MAIN
tain permanently this invaluable frame Of
mind /; and we think they will be equally
unanimous in the opinion that could they ac-
complish snch result, itwerea consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished"

The Sweet Singer of Our Israel"
Thou singst thy great Redeemer's praise,
In tones SO loud, so sweet, SO clear,
-Seraphs on high might catch the strains,
And echo back that name so dear.
Thy tones like music from the skies,
Float softly on the sacred air;
Our spirits onward, upward rise,
To worship with the angels there.
seraph from tn angelic choir,
Hath stopped to earth on loving wing,
And touched thy heart with heavenly fire,
That thou may'st Gods high praises sing.
Like windharps in dying gale,
Thy tones fall soft on listening ear,
Sweetly sad like funeral wall,
Bringing the unbidden tear:
Then rising, pealing, grand, sublime,
Joining the organs solemn tone,
They tremble meath the sacred rhyme,
And God is felt, and God alone.

My tins are all bright on the shelf;
And the white supper-coth on my table
Is clean, for mashed it myself.

Cornfelds,

When on the breath of Autumn breeze
From pastures dry and brown,
Goes floating like an idle thought
The fair white thistle-down,
o, then what joy to walk at will
Upon the golden harvest hill
What JOY in dreamy ease to lie
Amid field new shorn,
And see all round on sunlit slopes
The piled-up stacks of corn,
And send the fancy wandering o'er
ALI pleasant harvest fields of yore.
feel the day--I see the field,
The quivering of the leaves,
And good old Jacob and his house
Binding the yellow sheaves;
And at this very hour ! seem
To be with Joseph in his dream
see the fields of Bethlehem,
And reapers manya one
Binding unto the sickles' stroke,
And Boez looking on;
And Ruth, the Moabite so fair,
Among the cleaners STOPPING there.
Again see little child,
His mothers sole delight,
Gods living gift unto
The kind, good shunamite;
The mortal pangs see him yield,
And the lad bear him from the field.
The sun-bathed quiet of the hills;
The fields of Galilee,
That eighteen hundred years ago
We're full of corn, see.
And the dear Saviour takes his way
mid ripe ears ON the Sabbath day.
o, golden fields of bending corn,
How beautiful they seem!
The reaper-folk, the piled-up sheaves,
To me are like dream.
The sunshine and the very air
Seem of old time and take me there.
