OPINION OF THE ENGLISH PRESS
" We have read Mr.. H. S. Browns Lectures
with much satisfaction Mr.. Brown knows how
to speak to the people, He has almost every
qualification for it. five may judge from his prin-
ted addresses. There is no moudlin sentimental
ity about him but all is healthful as the breeze
on the hill. There is no clap-trap; he is both
too honest and too earnest for that. There is
neither Pharisaic scorn of vice, nor any effem-
mate apoligizing forit but wise Christian mans
righteous hatred of it, who knows how to look
on those who are sin-degraded as his brethren
He speaks to the people almost as one of them
selves, only from higher level and, though he
uses their daily phrases, yet he does not thereby
pander to vulgarity. He has happy acquain-
lance with our homely common sense proverbs,
and employs them tellingly. There is no affec-
tation of Extraordinary concern for the poor or
their souls but there is that real manly concern
which can afford to dispense with profession, and
to express itself chiefly in the calm but brave and
sensibly earnest endeavors The proverb Much
cry and little WOOL, you may reverse in his case.
His true desire to benefit the people is partly
shown by the pains with which he collects and
prepares the statistics of vice. proverty, disease
&C., in order that his we'll marshalled facts may
preach to the understanding. The genuiueness
of his earnestness is evinced by the cheerfulness
with which it tolls along the highway of common
sense. he has no recourse to reckless undis-
eliminating charges, anG is too strong for exag-
geration. Truth is enough for him. would that
this were no distinction While he faithfully
touches the worst vices, yet you never feel that
the censor himself must have coarse taste or
purient Imagination. These Sunday afternoon
lectures are not sermons nor intended to be-
In them he grapples with acknowledged evils
but still, while opening the eyes of the people to
the real nature of much of what their daily life
too often is, and showing what it might be, he
is never ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, nor
chargeble with even seeming to let them go away
with the impression that anything else and not
the kingdom of heaven, is the first thing to be
sought. In Mr.. Brown we have a man who, we
should judge, afford to go where any classes of
Gods creatures are domesticated for he is strong,
and his strength is holy "-Monthly Christian

How to Manage the Little Ones.

We find in one of our exchanges the following
suggestions in behalf of the little folks, which
are deserving of consideration. The writer says,
now that the warm weather has come, let your
children amuse themselves out of doors. Don't
keep them shut up like house plants, until they
become as pale and thin as ghosts. Strip off
the finery, put on the coarse garments and turn
them out to play in the sand-to make mud
cakes TO daub their faces with anything of an
9 earthly nature, F" which will have tendency to
make them look as though they had entered into
co-partnership with dirt. Keep them in the
house and they will soon look like, and be Of
about as much value, as potato which grows
in the cellar pale, puny sickly, sentimental
wrecks of humanity. Turn them out, we say,
boys and girls and let them run, and snuff the
pure air, and be happy. Who cares if they do
get tanned? Leather must be tanned before it
is fit for use boys and girls must undergo the har-
dening process pefore they are qualified to en-
gage in the arduous duties Of active life.

Country Produce.

Our markets are now stocked with vegetables
and fruit, says Philadelphia paper Potatoes,
tomatoes, string beans, squashes beets and corn
are brought to the city in great abundance also
apples, gooseberries, whortleberries and raspber-
ries. Whortleberrles are plenty that they can
be pought for six cents per quart. Tomatoes,
which two weeks ago were sold for twenty five
cents per quart, can now be bought at ten cents
per quarter peck Potatoes were never finer,
and there is promise of most abundant yield
Early apples Of good quality have been sold
for fifty cents the basket The prices of all kinds

been sold at exorbitant prices the former from

AC1anCIC MOHCnlys
This popular Magazine again graces our Ia
BILE, containing as usual, rich supply of valua-
BILE contributions to our literary resources. The
first article entitled the dramatic Element in
the Bible,' is the leading article in the volume,
and is worthy Of perusal. A Trip to Cuba"
is a well written, and delightfully."- interesting
view Of an excursion, given in a womanly point
of view. An article entitled the ".Zouaves,"
furnishes some light upon the origin, habits &c.
of that singular body of men, now the terror of
Austria. Mrs. Stoves serie "The Minister'S
Wooing," progresses considerably, and contains
some decidedly interesting points, The Profess
sor still keeps his seat at the Breakfast Table,
and furnishes US with more than the usual guam
tity of good and palatable things. The closing
article is founded upon the war now raging in
Italy, and gives US considerable insight into the
leading events connected with it.

The ground at the terminus of Union st. has
been secured for our cricketers and immediate
steps will be taken toward finishing it up for
playing The lot contains exactly four and one
half acres being 42O feet wide by AIS long. 1t
is the intention of the stockholders to plant q
double row of shade trees, ten feet apart around
the whole lot, thereby converting it into prom

expect soon to see this portion of our town

The abundance, of wet wheather we have lately
experienced has been very favorable to its Wig

corn in the middle and upper end of the county
is not quite so good as in the lower end, we are

The condition of affairs in this section is about
the same as in Bucks Co, if we except few
upland farms, where the corn has been considera-
bly, scared

Should any of our readers chance to find them
selves in the pleasant village of Titusvie they
certainly will not pass the Delaware House by
without calling upon its healthy looking pro-
prietor who is always around. Since the Della
ware has passed into the hands of host Bur-
roughs it has been completely metamorphosed
and now is as fine place to spend week du-
ring the raging heat of dog days as any place
we know of. A large hall suitable for parties is
now receiving the finishing touch and will be
opened in short time.
