BETTEH As IT Is.-The reformer Luther, as
eccentric as be was learned and sincere is re-
ported to have said, that, il he had been con-
suited at the Creation. be would have placed
the sun directly over the centre Of the world
and kept it there, to give unchanging aud uni.
form light and heat! It is certainly much bet
ter that be was not consulted. In that case, ev.
cry parallel Of latitude would have been iso-
thermal, or Of equal mean annual temperature.
The seasons would have been invarable in
character. Some portions of the earth would
have been scorched to crspness. others lock-
ed up In never-changiDg ice. Vegetation, in-
stead Of being universal, would have been con-
fined to a narrow zone and the whole human
race would have been driven together in one
limited habitable space, to interfere with, in
commode, and destroy each other. The ar
rangement is best as it is.-AtLaHtic Monthlg.

STA RTLING, BUT True MAKE WAY FOR
THz NEW PHILOsoPHY.--It is the weakness of
small minds to reject new systems, simply
because they are startling. They forget
that apples had been dropping to the earth
tor 700 consecutive years under the noses
OF philosophers as well as fools, before New
ton deduced the theory of gravtaton from
the fall OF pippin. Is there anything IRA
uonal, then, in supposing that Thomas Hol-
loWayi man of deep research and strong
practical intellect, may lave discovered and
applied successfully the natural antidotes to
iarge proportion of human diseases? Let
1t be remembered that for many years this
interchangeable student, shrouded in the fumes
OF ms laboratory, was engaged in pharma-
ceutical experiments, all directed to the
great object which he claims to have
attained. Nature is a strict custodian Of
her mysteries, and only discloses them when
enforced by indomitabe energy and perse-
verance. While the disciples of old and
effete medical theories were following the
beaten track of routine, he struck out a new
path, and founded new system of treat
ment. What has been the issue? Ask the
world for nearly half its inhabitants have
endorsed his remedies Besides the name
that authenticates his Pills and Ointment,
1t may be said that the broad seal of public
approval is affixed to them, and that the
certificate of their infallibility bears upon
its face every written language in existence
Simple facts are the only admissible testi-
mony in a matter which involves health and
life-and the facts that go to establish the
curative properties of these preparations are
overwhelming. OF the sufferers from dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, debility, scrofula,
and almost every species of febrile, cutane-
Gus and glandular disorder" a multitude
that no man can number" have cordially
approved them. Surely, those who have
recovered under the operation of the medi-
cines, are the most competent judges of their
virtues, and we acquiesce without hesitation
in their decisioR.-Lseds Mercury.

BThe exact manner of Walkers talk

Having taken his seat, he was blindfolded.

1t is the duty of every one to improve his or her

which should be left untried to obtain
