CITY ITEMS.

SINCE calling attention, a few days
ago, to Johnson's Illustrated Atlas, the
publishers agent, DOW in the city, has
called upon few of our citizens, and We
see from the list of orders he already has
obtained that he is meeting with fine
success, and that the work is being pat
rorized by the intelligent and better
class of community. All this clearly
demonstrates that the work is one of rare
merit and general asefalnees, and that our
citizens can and will discriminate be-
tween really meritorious works and those
of mere pretensions. We say again to
our readers fail not to examine this palua-
Die aeork when called upon by the agent.
Every one needs such a work in this day
and age of history making, even more
than dictionary, from the fact that it
will be oftener consulted.

Many reflections crowd upon the mind at

The seal Of eternity is upon it. The wisdom

of history, if, indeed, they are not continually

ruin. Those republics have perished and
have perished by their own hands. Pros
perity had eneIvated them; and a vena
populace consumatcd their destruction. The

| have sometimes been cheated out Of their lib

trayed into a surrender of them by false pa
riots; and sometimes they have willingly
sold them for price to the despot who has
bid den chest for his victims. They have
dlsregarded the warning voice of their best
statesmen, and have prosecuted and driven
from Office their truest friends. They have
listened to the counsels of fawnng sycophants

hand. They have surrendered to faction
what belonged to the common interests and
rights of the country. Patronage ard party,
The triumph Of an artful popular leader, and

LooK TO THE LITTLE ONEs.-A great
amount of the sickness that flesh is heir to
at this season of the year, and from now 70
the late autu mn, is the result of eating unripe
fruit. A reasonable quantity of ripe fruit
will not injure any healthy person, but un.
fortunately the first installment of fruits that
appear in the market is generally partially
unripe at least. Already we notice children
eating small apples plucked from the trees
boiore they have the least taste or favor of
apples about them. 1t requires good stom-
ach to digest such food this time of year, and
if not digested sickness must be the result.
