Lyceum Lectures.

The last lee.ure, on Thursday evening
Feb. Sth. was b. VIM. Z. JOY Esq. OF
Ellsworth, upon, The English Revolution
of 1855"
The lecturer very justly regarded the
Revolution Of 50. a. far the most import
ant in English history. The civil war of
1910, when Chale- |. was behcaded, and
monarchy abolished was only preparatory
to the peaceful deposition of James ii. and
the establishment of civil and religious
liberty upon 4 constitutional basis. in 1858.
The Revolution of i640 was that of the
passionate Engli>hman, an%ercd by Icing
series of glaring wrongs. The Revolution
of lGSS. was that of the thinking English
man. taught by past history, and forrsccing
future events. The first was followed by
reaction which restored the Stuarts. wallow-
ing.in vice. The second was the beginning
of a new and better era. in which English
liberties have been made impregnablc.
Mr.. Joy seemed to fully appreciate the
interest and Importance of hi, subject, and
hi lecture was spirited. and Independent
in thought !Ii- deductions were evidently
made with care. and were generally sound.
While the matter of the lecture was exccli-
ent. it, literary style was very creditablc,
showing considerable taste. and reading.
Mr.Joy's manner was agreeable and bis
lecture was well received by an apprccia-
tive audience.
The next lecture of the course will be

\ PARISH Nt>Ir.-On the evening of The
Sth inst. our friends, in large numbers.
assembled at the Congregational parson-
age, bringing with them cheerful hearts
and precious gins. During a ministry OF
six years We have never passed together
happier evening.
The contributions in money and goods
were mere than one hundred dollerS.-
SiNty-tWO dollars were in cash. and it was
a pleasant surprise to find a handsome
Sprinklny of silver and gold in the con-
tribution If we reckon the labor perform
ed ON the Sth and 9TH. the sum will be IN
creased to one hundred and twenty-five
dollars.
We would do more than thank Our dear
friends for their Kindness and lihcrality. -
With atlectionate regard we remember the
sympathy shown. by SO many. when the
load of grief was crushing our hearts.
We hope and pray that the rich blessing
of grace may be upon all this people.

The NATIONS DEAD FoREvERMoI

THE NATIONS DEAD FoREyERMoRE.
=" The following is the passage from Mr..
Raymond's speech on which Mr.. Stevens
pounccd with such severity in his remarks:
The gigantic contest is at an end. The
courage and devotion on either side wlicl,
made it so terrible and so long, no longe,
owe divided duty, but have become the
common property oft the American name,
the priceless possession of the American
republic through an time to come. The
dead of the contending hosts sleep beneath
the soil of a common country, under their
common flag. Their hestilities are hush
ed, aud they are the dead Of the nation
forcverin0re. The victor may well exult
in the victory he has achieved Let it be
our task, ~ it will he our highest glory, to
make the vaaqnished and their posterity to
the latest generation reloice in their de-
feat"

One of the interesting publications OF

because it is devoted. rs speciality To the
subject of Travellers and accident Insur-

Gus Facts about Insurance BY this We
learn that the practice of insurance il
some form has existed for the last foul
hundred years. Its origin is traced To The
Italians. Life insurance, j. not so old. anC
commenced in England. The first acct
dent insurance company originated in Lon
don in lSiS. The first company started in
this country is the Travellers Of Hartford
in 1868. For n long tim. it seems that in

have their property insured; and they
would hardly receive the sympathy of the
public, in ease of loss. II this duty had not
been attended to. SO should all those
citizens who are in any way Dependent

SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms Of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sen.
sitive to the changes Of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or slight DIS
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawked or coughed of. The secretiOns
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal: the eyes are weak;-th the sense
Of smell Is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh Is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat IN the morning of a slick or slimy
mucous, which has fallen from the head du-
ring the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in

Am org te Many Advantages Claimed
for this series are the folloWimRi

| list. TO TEACHERS.-By the general adop.
ton OF these books throughout the country,
the Teacher will be saved all the ANNOYANCE
| and inconvenience arising from the eclectic
| character given TO the mind of pupils. who
| have in different schools been yariously in
| structed, and often, from unworthy textbooks,
| imbibed ideas which need to be eradicated. -
! The advantage of such uniform system will
| also be appreciated by the Teacher, whenever
| he has occasion 10 change his residence, and
enter upon the duties of his profession in an
other school, His efficiency will necessarily
| be greatly promoted by his familiarity with
the course Of study TO be pursued, while the
| facility afforded for aseertainn9 the standing
of each new pupil, and assigning him his prop
en- position, will be most obvious.
2d. TO THE PUPIL.-0ne of the greatest
discOuragements to a child, in the labor requi-
site for the requirement Of q good education,
arises from the change Of school and teachers,
which often becomes necessary. With every
removal he is almost sure to be thrown back i'm
his studies, and obliged TO retrace much of the
grounG already passed over. Thus by the con-
tequent and inevitable loss of interest and
resolution, his advance ment is seriously him
dcred. \ change of teachers, or transfer
from one school 10 another, may be a matter of
satisfaction and advantage 10 a child. If this
does not also involve the loss of rank attained
by past diligence and applicationto study.
81. TO THE PARENT.--All other consid.
erations aside (such as the difficulty of inves-
tigatiug the character of the various text
books, and the undesirable influence of some
now In use, &C., &c.), there are but few pa
rents who would fail to welcome system Of
instruction, which. being in all other points
acceptable, will relieve their shelves of an
endless variety of discarded Sohool-boooks,
aud the purse Of an equally endless demand
upon il.
Attn. TO THE TRADE.-An Booksellers are
agreed that much of the profit in this depart |
ment OF their business disappears IN the un. |
lvoida BILE accumulation Of "ded4 stock" con. |
sequent upon the great variety Of hooks in |
use. and the ever-changing fancy Of those |
whose demands, nevertheless, are to be sup. |
piled. The new plan proposed will relieve |
The trade Of much annoyance and loss, and /
make accuracy Of estimate. respecting the
probable supply, possible in this branch rs In |
others; thereby rescuing from idleness, and |
possible loss, quite an item Of capital.
