Scrofu!a, OF Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, 1t
peryadus the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which II may
not destroy. The scrofulous taiut is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or 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. ~
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
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 cor
ruption, which Senders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so 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; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
cimates the human family has It's origin dircctiy
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from OK
are aggravated by the same cause.
Onequarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fcction, aud their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovatc
the blood by IN Alternative medicine, and in
vigoraie it by healthy food and exercise.

In the Piazza before ST. Peters at Rome,
stand, the most beautiful obeli>k in the
world. Ii was brought from the circus Of
Nero, where it had lain buried for many
ngcs. 1t was one curire piece Of Egyp-
tian marble, - feet high, s feet square at
the base, aud feet square at the top, Il
computed to weigh above 40 tons, aud is
supposed to be 5000 years old Much en-
gineering skill WAS required to remove
and erect This piece Of art; aud the ccle
bratcd architect, Dominica Fortlne, was
selected and engaged 10y Pope 5 xtus v.
to carry out the operation. y ped s'al,
80 feet high, was built for its reception,
aud the ohe,isk brought to its base. Ma
ny were the ingenious con'rivauccs prepa-
red for the raising of it to It's last resting
place, all If which excited the deepest in
tcrest among the people. At length, ev-
crythins was in readiness, and day az
pointed for the great event. \ great
multitude assembled TO witness the cerc-
mouy; aud the Pope, afraid that the
clamor Of the people might distract the
attention of the architect, issued an ciict,
containing rcgulaions 10 be kept, and lm-
posing The sevcrcst penalties on any one
who should, during the lifting Of the 81
can,ic stone, utter single word. Amidst
suppressed excitement Of feelings aud
treathcss silence, the splendid monument
was gradually raised to within a few inch.
es Of the top of the pedestal, when lis up
ward motion ceased; it hung suspended,
and could not be got farther; the tackle
was too slack, and there seemed to be no
other way than to undo the great work
already accomplished The annayed ar
chitcct, in his pcrplcxity, hardly knew
how 20 act, while the silent people were
watching every motion of his features to
discover how the problem would be solved.
In the crowd, was an old British sailor
he saw the difficulty, aud how to overcome
il, and with stentorian lungs he shouted,
"Wet The roprs!" The vigilant police
pounced on the culprit, aud lodged him
in prison the architect caught the magic
words, put the proposition in force, and
the cheers of the people proclaimed the
success of the great undertaking. Next
day, the British criminal was solemnly ar
raicncd before his Holiness his crime
was uudeniably proved, and the Pope in
solemn language pronounced his sentence
to be-,hat be should receive q pension
annually during his lifetime!
These little facts stored up from obser
va,ion, can never do the owner any harm,
and may some day be of great utility;
aud this story only proves the value Of re-
membcriug small things as well as great
ones, for nothing that is useful is too in
significant for man to know, and there is
no knowledge that has not its use.
