CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out from general use should
have their efficacy established by wel-tested expe-
rience in the hands of q regularly educated physi-
clan, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill; yet the country is flooded with
poor nostrums and cure-alls. purporting to be the
best in the world which are not only useless but al
ways injurious. The unfortunate should be PARrIC-
ULAR in selecting his physician IL Is lamentable
tients are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by maltreatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for 1t is point generally conceded
by the best syphiographers that the study and
agement of these complaints should engross the
whole time of those who would be competent and
successful in their treatment and cure. The mex
portunity nor time TO make himself acquainted with
their pathology, commonly pusrues one system Of
treatment, in most cases making indiscriminate
use Of that antqusted and dangerous weapon, Mer.

A MORMON SERMoN.-A writer in the At
lantic gives the following specimen of a Nor
mon sermon, illustrating the style in which
uneducated and inspired preachers quote
scriptures
The text was Isaiah Nv. L.: "And in that
day seven women shall take hold of one man."
Seven women shall take hold of one man -
There!' with slap on the back of the near
est subject for conversion. "What dye
think o. that? Shall Shall take hold on
him! That don't mean they shd'nt, does it I?
No Gods words means what it says. And
therefore means no otherwise, not in no way,
shape nor manner. Not in no way, for He
saith, Il am the ,cdy, and the truth, aud the
life.' Not it no shape, for a man behodeth
his natral shape in glass; nor in no man
ner, for he straightway forgetteth what man
ner oil man he was. Seven women shall catch
hold on him. And eff they shall, then they
aciH! For everything shall come to pass and
not one good word shall fall TO the ground
You who try TO explain away scriptur' would
make II figratiye. But don't come TO ME
with none o yonr spiritooalzers Not one
good word shall fall. Therefore seten shall
not fall. And eff seven shall catch hold on
him, as jlst proved, seven piH catch
hold on him,--then seven ought, - and in
the latter day glory, screen, yea, us our Lord
said untew Peter, Verify | say untew you,
not seven, but seventy times seven these sew
enty times seven shall catch hold and cleave.
Blessed day For the end shall be even as
the beginning, and seventy fold more album

POETRY.


Written for the Press.
The Submerged Shrine.
In the old Hindu legends there is wealth of bardic
ofpagan faith and wisdom there is found abundant
store,
And though for eli teen centuries our race has had
the light
ofChristian Truth TO guide it to knowledge ofthe
Right
Yet in these ancient annals, SO early laid away,
Are found depicted follies prevailing in our day.
In old musty volume, with The dust of ages
piled; -
The work of grave old Rahmud. -Truth-teller he
was styled
tbs related that there came, from far distant
land
In the early dawn of history migratory band.
They came from beyond the sources ofthe q anges,-
sacred stream,
From beyond tho Beur's lofty range. where SHOWS
eternal CLEAN.
They came with their wives and children, their
nocks and herds,-likewise,
They brought with them their household gods
their idol deities,
Their ancient laws and customs, of traditionary
force,
Among them human bondage, Rahmud calls dire
curse.
Thus came they from their mountain haunts, down
10 the gray sea,
And by its side they iondy hoped their future
homes would be;
They built their towns and temples with the labor
of their slaves,
And first a fame TO Slayery's God close down beside
the waves,
Uumindful that the land slowly sinking year
by year.
That slow the sea was creeping up nearer and still
near,
That tide rising that coast, along its whole
Just likethe annals say-the tide Of Public senti-
For when the thoughts of men go out on a pecu-
liar course
They're neither checked nor turned aside even by
superior force.
Some generations passsd away. and now the temple
stood,
Not, as of old, upon the Shore but in tn eugulfing
food;
For, though its firm foundations were moved not
from their place,
Eneirciing waves held closely clasped in their
embrace.
And il tho people would 20 down 10 offer worship
Not as their fathers could they go over dry sands
and bare.
But. through the dark opposing flood, must ever
make their way,
So that the numbers at that shrine were lessening
day by day,
Uatii, to madness driven they made complaint un-
to the God,
Who had the storms in charge, and prayed that he
would send abroad,
A tempest with embatiled winds that should drive
back the sea,
Within its limit, and set their beleaguered Idol
free.
Briefly the conflict is described. and briefly the
event,
How, 'gainst the mighty ocean tide. the mountain
storms sent
What elemental strife ensaed, and ragged upon that
coast;
Which party proved victorious, TO which the day
was lost.
Here need but transcri5e that when the warfare
was all Ger
The temple. even lie fantest trace was to be seen
more.
But in the bright. succeeding calm the waters on
that shore.
Ran ripping higher up the sands than eer they had
before.
Thus, in these ancient annals, SO early laid away
Are found deposited follies enacted in our day.
