March.

The Romans called this month Martius, from
the god Mars. the reputed father of their nation,
and it received the name Hlyd Monath, i. E.,
loud or stormy month, from the Anglo-Saxons
There is an old saying, common to both Eng
land and Scotland, which represents March as
borrowing three days from April; which are
thence called the 5orroring or the borrowed
days. The last three days Of March are de-
scribed in the following popular rhyme:
"Mafch borrowit from Averill
Three days, and they wers ill.,"
And then there is another rhyme. which
graphically characterizes those three ell" days

Remedies for Poisons.

1t il very important to be familiar with this
subject, because poisons are frequently taken BY
mistake for medicines, and are often go rapid
in their effects a to produce death before aid
can be called. The stomach pump is unques-
,ionably the best expedient in such cases; but
before q physician can be obtained, the follow
ing antidotes may be used:
FoR Collouvr SuDLMAfE.-Givst the white
Of an egg every two or three minutes. or copa'
Gus draughts of linseed tea or rice water, OF
even warm water. with emollient clysters and
warm lamentations to the bowels.

quantities, or water with some acid in it, or
large draughts of warm water.
FoR OPIsN, LAJDANux, HEnLooE, AND orHEl
VEGETABLE PoIsoss Drink freely Of vinegar
or lemon juice. If vomiting has been OCCASION
cd BY the poison, and the efforts are continued,
promote it BY large draughts of warm water, OF

Foa TARTAR ExErIe.-Give strong green tea,
oak, or willow bark, large quantities, to dilute
and deeomposs the poison.
In stings from bees and other insects, bathe
with salt and vinegar, or sal ammoniac and vim

To give this wash cream color, add one
half pound Of yellow ochre in powder. To

and one fourth of pound of Indian red.
To make the wash handsome grey stone
color, add one half pound of French blue, and
one-fourth of pound of Indian red; drab
will be made by adding one half pound of sienna,
and one fourth pound of Venitian red.
For brick or stone, instead of one bushel of

The recent commissions Of British India
have overthrownI the last strong hold of
Pagan superstition ia that quarter Of the
world. These same events also have
brought the British nation to see the
strangely unchristian character of its pol
icy In upholding idolatry and they are
even leading the native population 10
question the validity of their supcrstitions
and the power Of their idols. In West
ern Asia God is overruling. even the hor-
rid butcheries of Mohammedan bigotry
for the furtherance Of His Gospel. And
in Europe, hoary headed popery, strip
ped of its temporal dominions, and its
moral power, utters its feeble wall in the
ear Of its allies and vassals, not one Of
whom dares make common cause with it,
or sendan army 10 sustain its pretehtions
and exc out its puerilo and worn out life.
While the oriental systems Of .dcspotism
which have 50 long, kept mankind in men
cal and moral as well as physical bond
age are crumbling to decay What won
der is it, that occidental despotisms also
should DO in the furry Of their death
throes,, and that, their dying agony should
be so fierce as to create alarm for the safe
ty Of our country and the stability of its
government, in the minds Of those who
look not beyond second eauses7Twho do
not see and feel that God reigns. Light
against darkness, truth against err
ror, liberty against oppression, heaven
against hell, and God against satan, are
one and the same. The contest IS ide,a-
tical. And all these connections, unde,
the control of Him who holds the reins
are but means TO bring on the end. God
reigns in them all. And rs the great
French orator said, while looking down
upon the dead body Of Louis XIV, God
alone is great" 1t is the word Of sucl
