The Knickerbocker Magazine.
vTyHE KNICKEKBOcKER MAGAZINE begins
in Its May number two serials: one illustrated
and In popular styl e, on the A1uterations Of Food
the subject nearast the health and happiness OF
ever6 family in he land, and now attracting great
attention In Europe the other . fascinating and
powerful story Of domestic life. entitled:
THE ROMANCE OF POOR YOUNG MAN,
by Octave Feuillet, said to be the best novel pro-
duced in the last FIVE years. The FIRST chapter
opens brilliantly. Neither Dickens, Thackeray, nor
any American novelist, has produced any thing
more charming and interesting.
Every one knows that, by the criminal avArice Of
manufacturers and dealers, almost every article Of
food In common use, liquors and drugs, are adul-
terated with hurtful and poisonous substances, and
the knckerbocker is the frst and only publication
in the country that has undertaken to expose thor
oughly this gigantic wrong which secretly attacks
every mans life. All Of its statements are based
up rigid chemical anal ysis and microscopicai
aminations made for this special purpose. The
deliberations and the manner of detecting them
are unrivAled and to probe the evil to the bottom
the knckerbocker will publish, 20 far ~ its inves-
LEGATIONS extend, the names Of the manufacturer
and dealers guilty Of this insidious crime against
health and life. 1t is the most important series u
articles ever begun In an American Magazine, and

IRon!Nots Of Tal1e1fhhaT Z

A wonderful wit was Talleyrand. His bon.

Ercnchmen and the rest Of mankind, arc marked
not merely by the brevity which Is aiways he

Brougham's Times Of George III. This has all
the politensss as well as the subtle wit that nsa-

Not long after his breach Of friendship with Mad

A Candid Deacon.

Deacon NJ was an honest old codger, kind,
oblging ncighbOr, and good church going chris
tian, believing in the Presbyterian creed to the
fullest extent but alack-a-day this pillar Of the
church was at times little shaky "-in fact,
the deacon would occasionally get exceedingly
mellow !" and almost every Sunday at dinner
he would indulge in favorite cider-brandy to such
an extent that it was with some little difficulty
he reached his pew, which was in the broad aisle,
near the pulpit, and between the minister's and
village Squire's, One Sunday morning the par
son told his flock that he should preach q STR
mon 10 them in TIE afternoon touching many
garing sins that he grieved to sec so conspicuous
among them, and that he hoped that they would
listen attentively and not finch il he should hap
pen to be severe. The afternoon came and the
house was full; everybody turned out to hear
their nGighbors "dressed down" by the minister,
who, after acll opening his sermon. commenced
upon the transgrcsSors in loud voice with the
question, "Where is the drunkard!" A solemn
pause succeeded this inquiry; when up rose Dea-
cou NJ, with his face radiant frOm copious
draughts of his iavOrite drink at his nOOntidc
meal, and, steadying himself as well as he could
by the pew rail, looked up to the parson and re-
piled, in piping and tremulous voice, Here
am" OF course CONSERVATION amongst the
congregation was the result Of the honest dca-
cons response; however, the parson went on
with his remarks as he had written them, COM
mcnting scvcrClyupOn the drunkard and winding
up by warning him to forsako at once such evil
habits # he would seek salvation and flee the
coming wrath. The deacon then made bow
and seated himself again. "And now," out
spoke the preacher-man in his lOudest tones,
"whcre is the hypOcrite 2" A pause, but no
One responded. Eyes were turned upon this AMI
that man; but the most glanccs seemed directed
10 the 'Squirc's pew, and indeed the parson
seemed 10 squint hard in that direction. Tho
deacon saw wherc the shaft was lcvclled, or
where Il should be aimed, and, rising once moro,
leaned over his pcw-rail to the 'Squirv, whom he
tipped on the shoulder, and thus addressed =
when he called on me."-BOstOR Post
