TIE ~ALIANTHUS.

As we have so many oflhcsc trees in
and a bout Winchester, and they grow
so rapidly, perhaps it would be well
for us to consider how they are rcgar-
ded in other localities. In New York
and Philadelphia complaints are MADE
of the tendency OF the blossoms OF
this tree TO produce Malaria. They
say hat the cmuvia of the flowers
has caused sickness, and n corrcspOn-
dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer cx-
presses the hope that the Ordinance of
that city will frame an article re-
quiring all such poisonous trees to be
cut down. According to the New
York Times, the late rcscar' hes Of
Professor IIettet, Of the School OF
Medicine, of Toulon, France, on the
medicinal effects of the AlianthuS,
nov so common as a shadc.trec, show
that t lie bark contains n volatile oil,
which is so drleterious in its effects
that the assistants who mad the cvap.
Grafton of tho extract under their
care, would be seized with vertigo
md vomiting whenever they came in
contact with the vapors. That their
well known unpleasant e~xhaIations arc
of n poison Gus, as well as disagreed
bic nature, is further proved, says the
Times, by the number of dead flies
and other insects found under this
tree at seasons, and also, by their SICK
cning effect on delicat persons, par
tieularly on children"
Now, VIC don't pretend TO say that
this corrcspon 'cnt isr'ght, nor that he
is wrong. Blu. this we M know
Several years ago tho mania for these
trees broke out in Winchester. and

Of them, md where they once get

to get rid of them. And they are not
pretty by any means, and if we had n

MORAL

For n great many years the schools
of the South have been under the
necessity of using textbooks on Nor
al Science, written by authors whose
sentiments we could not fully adopt.
Consequently conscientious teachers
have been compelled to omit Objcc.
tionable chapters and expose the err
rors of the text book by oral lectures.
This has been attended with a great
deal Of Inconvenience, and many have
long wished to see Il work which sets
forth the truth in theoretical and prac-
teal ethics. II the schools OF our
country such a work has become n
necessity.
We are pleased to say that this ne
cessity is fully met in the work re-
