Whiskey and Newspapers.

A glass of whiskey is manufactured
from perhaps dozen grains of mashed
corn, the value of which is too small
to be estimated A pint of this
sells at ratail for one shilling, if of a
good brand, it is considered by its
consumers well worth the money.
1t is drank off in a minute or two. it
fires the brain, ronses the passions,
sharpens the appetite, deranges and
weakens the physical system; it is
gone, and swollen eyes, parched lips,
and an aching head are its followers.
On the same sideboard upon which
this is served, lies a newspaper the
new white paper Of which costs three
fourths Of cent, the composition for
the whole edition costing from ten to
fifteen dollars per day. 1t is covered
with half a million types, il brings in
L
telligence from the four quarters of the
globe, it has, in-its clearly printed col
amns, all that is strange or new at
home it tells you the state of the
markets gives an account Of the last
elopement the execution of the last
murderer; and the latest steamboat
explosion, or railroad disaster
yet, for all this, the newspaper costs
less than a glass of grog, the juice ..of
few grains of corn. Tt is no less
strange than true, there are large
portion ofthe community who think
corn juice cheap and the newspapers.
dear, and the printer has hard work
to collect his dimes, when the liquor
dealers are paid cheerfulIy How is
this? Is the body a better paynaster
than the hand, and are things Of a
moment more priced than things of
eternity Is the transient tickling Of
the stomach Of more consequence than
the improvement Of the soul, and the
information that is essential to the
rational being? If this had its real
value would not the newspaper be

Old Age.

How beautiful is old age The
sun is ever brightest when it is about
to sink below the horizon and hide its
radient brow behind the curtain Of
q peaceful sleep. tits in the eve
ming that the nightingale sings its
sweetest songs, and it is in autumn
that nature is ripest and looks golden
and beautiful how can it then be that
the sunset of life should be less joyous
and cheerful than its meridian ? EY-
erybody says that old age is. an evil,
and everybody belives it too, for. he
has had the words drilled into his
mind a thousand times, but how many
find 'the fear of i'll exceeds the i'll Of
fear" and that the enjoym ent of life
suffers no dimiuntion in the increas Of
years,
Age is q mighty thing. It has tri-
umphed over the trials Of life, and
flushed with victory it awaits its re-
ward. From bloodless lips, the youth
as he sits gazing into the wrinkled
features and black luster eyes before
him, hears the experience Of the past;
be is warned Of the shoals and quick
sands Of life, and directed to the no.
blest channels, and heedsthe warning.
Thus age is mighty again, for into
the hot blood Of rising generations it
sends its own genius and directs its
course. u

American Hurry.

The hurry, hustle, excitement and

happily hit off by a contemporary
Look at the theatres-the peo-
pie come rushing in at the middle of
the piece; and before the curtain be
gins to fall, or the tag to be spoken,
or the moral explained, up starts a
hundred people in hurry to get ont,
as if their very lives depended on being
somewhere else within two minuts and
a half How many fine effects in a
play-how many chef d'euvres in
concert have been utterly destroyed
by this ill-manered and indecent haste.
Cross ferry, and long before the
hour arrives, tWo-thirds Of the pas
sengers are crowded at the head of
the boat, ready to jump ashore, risk
ing life and limb to save ten seconds
of time---a child is knocked overheard
"a boys foot smashed-a young man
in youths first bloom crippled for life.
What matter? The man now walking
leisurely up the street got ashore near
~ half a minute earlier than he would
have done hae he not run the risk,
and caused perhaps the accident.
Get into an omnibus, and with one
foot on the step and the other inside,

The Swimmer.

We are all swimmers on the river
Of eternal life, whose shores are with
out place of landing, and must keep
kicking and padding or go down for
ever Tired and exhausted, We sigh
for rest, and turn our eyes searching
ly around for some small island, some
rock or plank, on which we may settle
and find repose. But we look in vain.
Not spar or piece of floating timber
is to be seen. We then seek for q
place where we can reach bottom
but all our experiments but result in
snbmerging US, perhaps strangling and
making our condition still weaker and
more helpless. Then we turn supine-
ly on our backs and gaze despairinglY
upward. We pray and we become
buoyant and floating. We receive
new strength and feel refreshed. Then
turning resolutely on our faces, we
strike boldly out in the hope of find
ing some sweet island of rest far away
in the hazy distance, where heaven
bends down and kisses the dark wa
tiers. On we go, but the horizon re-
cedes and no island, no place of rest
greets our aching eyes But bark |
A tumnltuOus roar is heard in the d.
rectiou we are tending. There is dan
ger--a fearful cataract below. We
must turn back-we must not perish
now Alas the current is too strong
for our weary limbs, and it grows more
and more rapid and irresistible as it
sweeps US along There is no help for
Us We are nearing the falls of death,
and the seethiHg waters of eternity
rise in smoky columns beneath, as if
waiting to envelope us in their misty
folds We shout to the shadowy
spectres on the shore, and they wildly
fling their arms in the air, beckoning

verge of the falls; we throw up our
arms and spring upward as if We
would cleaVe the air a stiaed moan.

The Boy Preacher.

Mark Boatner Chapman is now in
bis fourteenth year He was born in
Clinton, Louisiana, where his parents
still reside. Abont two years ago he
was received in the church very soon
after this he commenced instructing
his fathers servants On the afternoon
of every Sabbath His custom was
to read a chapter and comment upon
it, having first closely studied the
chapter, consulting Benson, Clark and
Wesley on every passage.
He at length began, says writer
to the Memphis Advocate, to speak
in the love-feasts and class-meetines
then to pray in the public congrega-
ton. His appearance is that of the
merest boy, and he seems wholly un-
conscious of any superior gifts of at
tainments He now breaches regular
" every Sabbath at his fathers place
near town. His parents have refused
to allow him to enter the pulpit and
supply the place of the regular minis
ter on the sabbath, although he has
often been solicited to do so. He
does nothing without permission from
his parents He attends school and
joins in all the amusements of the boys
of bis own age. On Sabbath last I
eat under his ministry, and have sell
dom been more edited and delighted
with a sermon. His style is chaste,
his words itly and happily chosen
The incest critic would not detect a
grammatical error; his manner is earn
est and his pathetic appeals reach all
hearts. Occasionally his feelings over
whelm him, and he gives way to a
food of tears.
The most gifted lawyers, doctors
diVines have heard him with delight.
[ confess that it is most wonderful and
TO NE incomprehensible. When
heard him be preached from the text,
How long halt we between two
opinions ~ lie preached from notes
sometimes seeming to forget that his
notes were before him. His subject
was arranged with perfect system, and
most logically treated. When through
his sermon he closed the Book, and
gave brief and touching exhortation,
under which, with others, / could but
weep. His public addresses published
have attracted much attention, and
should he live, he must, in bis onward
coarse, leave a broad wake on the tide
of morals. Such is the character of
the Boy Preacher whose wonder
