A REMARKABLE TEEroTALER.-Col.
Lemouski, who was for twenty three
years in the army of Napoleon, address
sed temperance meeting in Alabama,
giving the following strong testimony to
the advantages of total abstinence from
intoxicating drinks:
"You see before you man seventy
years old. / have fought two hundred
battles, have fourteen wounds on my bo-
dy, have lived thirty days on horse flesh,
the bark of trees for my bread, snow and
ice for my drink, the canopy of heaven
for my covering, without stockings or
shoes on my feet, and only few rags of
clothing. In the deserts of Egypt, have
marched for days with the burning sun
upon my naked head, feet bljstered in
the scorching sand, and with eyes, nos
trils and mouth filed with dust, and
with thirst so tormenting that l have
opened the veins of my arms and sucked
my own blood. Do you ask how 1 sur
vived all these horrors. l answer that,
under The providence of God, l owe my
preservation, my health and my vigor to
this fact, that l never drank drop of
spirituous liquor in my life. Baron Lar
ry, chief of the medical staff of French
arms, has stated as a fact that the G, 200
survivors who safely returned from
Egypt, were all of them men who abb
stained from ardent spirits.''

THE TOMATO.

DR.. Bennett, professor of some celeb
rity, considers the Tomato an invaiua-
BILE article of diet, and ascribes to it very
important medical proprities;
LIST. That the tomato is one of tie
most powerful aperients of the Materia
Medica, and that in all those affections of
the liver and organs where calomel is in
dicated, it is probably the most effective
and least harmful remedial agent, known
to the profession.
2. That a chemical extract viii be
obtained from it, which will superscede
the use of calomel in the cure of disease.
3. That he has successfully treated
diarhea with this article alone.
That when used as an article Of diet,
is almost a sovereign remedy for dysPep-
sia and indigestion.
5. That il should be constantly used
with our daily food, either cooked, raw. .
or in the form of calsup, as il is the most
healthy article now in use.
STRANGE CASE OF MURDER OR SUICIDE.
David Watt, living near Manchester,
Pa, was found dead in his house a few
days since, with the lugular vein severed.
As the doors and windows of his dwelling
were fastened on the inside, it was at
once concluded that he had committed
suicide. While preparations we're maxi
ing for his burial, however, a small shin
gle nail was discovered driven through
the skull and penetrating the BRAIN
This seemed to indicate that Watt had
been murdered, and his throat afterwards
cut TO avert suspicion from the real au-
thors of his death, but the physicians who
made the post nsortem examination, were
of opinion that the desceased could easily
have driven the rail into his head, and
had probably attempted 10 put an end 10
his life in this way, but failing, had re-
course to more common method OF sell
destruction.

WHO is A PROFESSOR?

The '.Journal o. Education" thus an
swers the question.
"Says Webster, the term Professor
signifies 'an officer in q university, col.
lege or other seminary whose business
is to read lectures, or instruct students IN
particular branch of learning as, pro
fessor of theology. a professor of matbe-
matics."
A few years ago there were very few
Professors word was seldom heard.
A man might live, in those days, whole
year in continued intercourse with society,
and the sight of live Professor not once
bless his vision.
Once in great while, he would see in
the papers, the names Of Prof. Silliman,
Prof. Olmsted, Prof. Dana, and the like
of them; but TO actually meet Professor,
was like meeting President or an Arch,
bishop.
But what change twenty years have
wrought To-day you can not go TO the
market or the post-office. without meet
ing Prof Brown, Prof. White, Prof.
Green, or Prof. Gray. And on your way
home, you will catch a glimpse of Prof.
Snooks, Prof. Subbs, Prof. Muggins, or
Prof. Bundle. You drop in at the vii
lage hotel, and from the register you
learn that '-Prof. Simon Snob" passed
through the place only three days before.
Some pleasant morning pompous youth
enters your school room. He is too
young for mustaches, but cid enough for
a slouched hat, cane, and cigar
You mentally inquire, "who has come
now?' He introduces himself as "Pro-
fessor George Washington Bugg." On
his way west, he had kindly called to in
form you of his being in town.
Yes, Professors now are as plenty as
militia captains, or the lobby members
of our legislature. But what sort of pro-
fessors are they? Olmsteads, Stoves,
Mitchells? Hardly. There is Prof
Brown; he is principal of the union school
in Frog Hollow. Prof. White teaches a
singing school in Snakeville. Prof. Green
lectures on biology in country school hou
ses; admission, one dime children half
price. Prof Gray is ventriloquist.
Ohio has comparatively few of these
titled dignitaries. In some of our small
villages we hear of them but most Of
our respectable Teachers disown the hon
or, excepting snch as are in truth Pro-
fessors, or officers of colleges and other
institutions of so high grade. In looking
over the list of names of gentlemen at
tending the late meeting of our State As
sociation, we find that but tDo "Profes
sors" were present. But in the publish
ed minutes of recent educational meet
ing in neighboring State, the word
"Prof." occurs fifty times. This, how
ever, is no business of ours. If they like
the idea of '.mutual admiration socie-
ty," no particular harm'can result there
from. We answer the inquiry propoun-
ded, by reference TO the dictionary.

Answering Letters.

There are few things so much neglected
in the so-called polite world answering
letters This arises from an indifference in
some people, and a dislike to write in others.
The latter feeling is often SO much indulged
in, or allowed to influence the possessor to
such an extent that a letter requiring an
answer will be left for days and weeks,
unpleasant reminding it gives from time to
time Of the neglect it meets with.-This re-
pugnance to writing might soon be over
come, by observing the following rule: II
is simple to answer a letter at the very first
opportunity that offers; if looked upon as
u disagreeable task, the sooner it is got rid
of the better; but its advantage would not
rest here, for this practice, if resolutely pur.
sued, would break down the barrier, and
the difficulty would vanish.

4 quaker meeting Of an hours length, break
! the silence by asking: sMr4 Snow, did vo,

What did you say my dear?' he asks, afte,
a few moments silence.
Did you order that coal I spoke to yot
about?'
Indeed, my dear,I am very SORRY, but
forgot all about it. Itshall come tomorrow.
Another hours silence, which is relieved
by the baby's crying, and rather liking te

My DEAR said Mr. Snow, after he cried d

baby some catnip tea to quiet him? he trou-
| bles me-
| The baby is still, and another hour passes
away without a breath Of noise. Becoming
tired Of silence, take lamp and retire for
the night, leaving Mr. S. SO engaged with
his papers that he does not see me leave the
room.
Towards midnight he comes to bed, and
just as he has fallen to sleep the baby takes
a notion to cry again. [ rise quietly as
possible, and try to still him. While | am
walking the room with the small Snow in my
arms, our next-a boy Of three years-be-
gins to scream at the top Of his lungs.
What can |. do? There is no course but to
call Mr. Snow; so call ont: Mr. Snow! Mr.
Snow! Mr. Snow!

sWhat, Tim-more copy7'

running about his Office! | reply, rather
coolly, No, don't want any more copy

the room in as much vexation as / can COM
fortably contain.
The next morning at breakfast, when I
give Mr. Snow an account of my last nights
adventure, he replies: Indeed, my dear, |
am sorry the children troubled YOU
That is always the way. III complain, it
is, indeed, my dear, | am sorry, but should
the very same thing occur the subsequent
n; ght, directly before his eyes, very. likely
he would not see or know anything about it,
unless it happened to interrupt the train of
his ideas. Then he would propose catnip
tea, but before | can get it into the infants
stomach, he will be far away in the realms
of thought, leaving me not little vexed at
his apparent stupidity.
Mr. Snow knows the name of every paper
published in England, France and Germany
but he can't, for the life Of him, tell the
names of his own children. He knows just
the age of every American journal, but he
does not know the age Of his own baby. = He
knows just how one Of his contributors looks
but don't believe he can tell whether my
eyes are black or blue.
The world says Mr. snowi is getting rich;
all know about it is, he gives me money
to clothe and feed our boys, and that, too,
without a complaint Of poverty, | hope the
world is right in opinion; and when / am
fully satisfied that it is, I shall advise him
to resign his editorial honors, and spend a
few months in becoming acquainted with his
