is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryadas the whole body, and may burst out
in disease any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living. dis
ordered unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices. and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending - from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation = indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul coy
ruption, which genders In the blood, depresses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conso-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint 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 in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must reEovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply In

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. It 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

HINTS TO New TEACHERS. The Michigan
journal Of Instruction contains some iDpor-
tant Hints TO New Teachers-some that will
prove of service to those just entering on the
duties of their responsible profession -
l. Meet your school at the outset with
quiet and natural demeanor. Affect neither
sternuess nor afaDility. Feel and say in a
few simple words, that you hope to do them
good, aud will try TO DO the best you can for
them.
2 If whispering or disorder occurs, pause
at once, and do not proceed till order is re-
stored. The mere pause is generally sutfl-
cient for this.
B. Remember that good discipline is the
principal thing; without this there can be no
successful teaching.
f. Govern yourself. Do not fret or fly
into passions; never stamp or scold; do not
threaten or talk too much Let kindly in
terest in your pupils temper all your actions.
s. Have the school-rooIn kept tidy aud
comfortable; wash off scribbiings and ink
spots, and hang up charts and maps, to give
the room an attractive appearance.
Let the lessons be short, but thorough
ly mastered Go over the same ground agsin
in review No lofty superstructure can rise
except ou solid foundations
Z. Foster in your pupils spirit of justice
and generosity. kindness and forbearauce,
reverence for truth and duty.
s. Make daily preparation for your work;
! the Oldest and aDlest teachers do this. You
will thus be able to give clear explanations,
and to infuse life aud spirit into your instruc-
| tioos.
! g. Remember that your every act is close
ly watched. and that example teaches more
powerfully than precept. That teacher who
is gentleman in dress and demeanor. whose
language is simple and pure and truthful
whose department is geutie, graceful anc
kind, will awaken a respect iu both pupil
and parents, that will make his task easy,
10 Put yourself into communication will
neghboring teachers. If there is no Teach
ers Association, organize one as soon as pos
sible.
H. Take an educational journal; you can
not afford TO do without its suggestions.

PHILoPESA.-We believe this pleasant
amusement for boys and girls. and sometimes
those OF more mature age, originated in Ger.
many. where it was called uiel liebchen, which
as spoken has the sound of phiz ipken; which
may have been tho origin of our word, to
which we have given Latin termination,
pend, because it iufers penalty or forfeiture
exacted or won by the tact or management
OF the winning party. With US the thing is
managed, however, excessively clumsy, and
without skill. A person in company chances
to lind double meated almond, and hands
the half meat to another, and says, or rather
should say: "Win you eat phllopeua With
me:' The other may say; Il am afraid"
and refuse or may accept one OF the nuts,
and eat it xs tjae same tune the chailen gine
party eats the oher. Thus they separate;
but when they meet again the one that can
think to cay sphilopena" first to the other
wins the forfeit, and has right to name
what it shall be. Generally, among children,
some tribe, or, among young folks. some liz
tie present. suitable to the condition Of the
parties. Thus. young lady who wins a
philopena of 3 gentleman, may Immediately
add, Il wear No 81 kids F" If the parties
meet in the street. the lady may say, 20,
yes, see you notice my parasol is getting
oio- ven, sucup L acCept. OUt the gen.
tleman must never allude to her want of an
article, but exercise his judgment as to what
would be acceptable. Generally, iu our haste
to win philopena. We forget propriety, aud
become rude 10 this land of thrift and hurry
The thing is far better and more pleasantly
managed in Germany, and calls into exercise
some Of the most useful faculties of the mind.

taken of the other until one of them prououu-
ces the word ''Philopena." This is the
warning that the sport is to begin, Let us
suppose that gentleman calls upon lady;
she invites him to walk in, but at the same
tiu,e speaks the talismanic word. If he ao.
cepts the offer to walk iu, he is lost, unless
she removes the ban by telling him to 60
away. If she asks him to take off his bat
he must resolutoly keep it on; or if at tablo
she should hand him any article which he ae-
cepts; she wins the forfeit. At the same
time, he is watching to catch her off he.
guard-for the acceptance of any offer from
the other ends the game. Both are constant.
ly exercising their wits to prevent being
caught, and the sport often goes on all The
evening. Perhaps the gentleman brings 6
little present, saying, Knowing that l shoe
lose my philopena. l have brought It along
here it is. If she is caught off her guarc
by this smooth speech, sne loses, for he i'm
mediately claims forfeit. If neither win
at first meeting, the sport is continued at tbs
second; aud it may happen that half dozer
parties meet at the same time, all anxious t.
win of their phi!opena partners, So thar the
scene often becomes ludicrously amusing.
How preferable is this German play to ou
own! Aud as the sport derived iron, philo
pena is very Innocent and pretty, We com
