The following excellent advice appears
in an eastern paper:
DO not forget tina. it costs som ethnr to
puff as we'll as we'll as to advertise: and
never sponge upon the printers in any
manner whatever. 1t is printer ink that
makes nine ten,hs of your fortunes; i.
takes money to Guy ink, type, paper, end
yet, after all this, few are the thanks that
the printer gets. Give the printer fair
play and give up all expectations Of gra-
tuitous putting, etc. The great American
statesman, Daniel Webster, was mighty
near right when he remarked of the press
Small is the sum required to patronize a
newspsper-amp!y rewarded is it's patron
i care not how humble and unpretend.
ing the gazette which he takes 1t is next
to impossible to Gil sheet with printed
mater fifty two times il. year, without
putting into it something that is worth the
subscription price.

lS66.-This year is said to be q year
important in prophecy. The The Ions
don Morning Advertiser reminds its read
ers that Mr.. Fleming, writing in the days
of William and Mary more than $50 years
ago, predicted that in l74S the King Of
France wonld suffer some great humiia-
ton, that in lS4S the Pope would meet
with a calamity (in fact be fed from
Rome, and that in 1866 the ten king
doms Of which the old Roman Empire
once consisted would break up and dis
solve, or take some new form Either
Mr.. Fleming missed his first date by a
year, or the Morning Advertiser and the
Record, which copies from it, have a!trib
uted their own blunder to MIR. Fleming
1t was in 1898, not l194, that the King
great humiliation in 1874 the means Of
knowing it were teyoud mortal ken 1t
is true however, we believe, that Mr..
Fiemings curious prophecies were in
some very marked manner fulfilled. Our
impression is that he also predicted the
rise Of a dynasty from some Island in the
Mediterranean which should be over-
thrown, and after certain time restored.
|, is a curious question how far two mar
velous guesses. If really verified, shou ID
entite the gnesses, to aoy share of conf
d.nce in third instance. Even the
.horn,ng Adrertiser and the Record do
nc, say that they think it would b. pious
to believe it, bu, rather guard themselves
against the impu,a'ion of credulity,-
They cite, however. other prophecies, Of
q similar nature for 1866, which are due,
we believe, 10 the prevalence Of SKIES in
the date, slxes being universally favor;tes
with the prophets, in consequence of the
number Of Beast. The curious thing to
note is. however, the utter uselessness Of
Mr.. Jennings guesses, even if We could
believe them absolutely. What should
man, expecting the breaking up or sepe-
raicn OF the ten Kingdoms of the Roman
Empire d.? Should he be more pious in
consequence, Of more caution? Should
he sell GU, of the funds and carry away
bullion 10 an Island in the Pacific? Or

applied to several physicians for medicine
to relieve her of it, but to no effect. At
length it grew so troublesome and had
such q facilitating effect upon her, she
gave up her place and went home to die,
as she fully expected /; for to live in such

absorbed in the sermon. She struggled
hard with her feelings, until unable to
control them any longer, then burst out

No system Of idolatrous worship ever
gained greater ascendsncy over the minds
Of men than that Of the ancient Gauls
and Britons Rough, reckless and bar
barous al they were, their priests led
them ~ though they had been lambs -
These priests possessed both civil and
criminal jurisdiction, and they were ex-
empt from the dangers of war and the de-
mands Of taxation. They imposed the
most rigid laws upon their subjects and
severe and terrible were the punishmen.s
they visited upon the heads of offenders.
The awe which they inspired was so great
that, although no other guard than that
Of the deep forests was thrown around
the treasures which they accumulated, no
robber was SO daring as to modest their
spoils, or to attempt to make them his
prey. These priests practsed the she'd
ding of blood at their sacrifices. The u.
moe, mystery and gloom seemed always
to hover about their haluts and their
affairs were the shrines of violence and
murder. Such we're the Druids and the
influence which they exerted over their
followers extended into another world, for
they taught the doctrine OF the transmit
grafton Of souls; and that their power to
ihhict punishment did not end with the
present life of their victim. But dark
and terrible as was the sway OF the Druids,
it had its use ia restraining that wild and
warlke people. When that use was fu'-
filled they were swept away. They had
ruled by violence and blood, and they
were violently destroyed for their blood
quenched the fire of their bnrning homes,
AS they died by the sword, amid their
consecrated grove aud atlas, in the reiga
of the Emperor Nero.

-" How far shall the South support the
President 2" is a question which engages
many thoughts and pens at present or to
present it in another view, there are those
who argue that an earnest support of the
President, on the part of the South, embar-
rasses him does more harm than good 4;
makes capital for Radicals, &c. We have
only one suggestion to make upon this sub
ject that the Southern press and people
adopt the motto Of the Thelemites Fails &c
que r0udrGis, do as you please For our
selves, we have opposed both by preeept
and example, an acrimonious tone, on the
part of the Southern press, as it is incon-
sistent with seh-respeet, and because we do
not believe that il is a true echo of the SEN
timents of the Southern people. Yet if the
spirit moves any one to be yituperatiye we
do not object altogether to his letting it
out What is important is that the precise
sentiments of our people should be under
stood-nothing is to gained by hypocrisy.
In the first place, it viii not deceive the
ruling majority in the national councils, in
the next place, if it did. nothing would be
gained by the simulated accord of the sec
lions which would thus be effected. 1t is
bad surgery to heal up a sore without
0rst restoring it TO healthy state-it will
only break out again.
And as to Southern Communications ofthe
Presidents course, why should they be
Withheld five believe him honest, honor
able, humane and patriotic, shall we stand
aside as if we were Pariahs whose touch
would contaminate him For our own part
we would rather stay out of the Union with
the erect attitude of manhood than crawl
into it on our bellies, Is it because our
thankful recognition of his impartial course
will render him unpopular with his North
ern supporters-or with his Northern oppo-
sers Ifthe former are such men as we may
safely look to for Justice, We have nothing
to fear, and if they adhere to him from hopes
| of aggrandisement they surely cannot object
to the numerical foree,' tvhatever it may
| amount to, which viii thus be added to
their ranks. As for the latter, we have
yet to discover that their virulenee will be
allayed by any pretended dissatisfaction or
studied reticence on our part We can do
nothing underhand, if we would The adj
vice which is so freely rendered us to keep
silence, is rendered publicly, and five were
to conform TO it, everybody would under
stand the motive or if they should not.
they could only mistake it for an obdurate
sUnenness, which would testify that we
We're notvet sufficiently reconstructed to be
safely entrusted with the exercise of polit-
ical rights.
After all, the staightest paths are the
safest, and confident as we are of the real
loyalty of our people, we would deprecate
all schemes for gainiag temporary advan-
tage by any compromise of the truth as TO
What their sentiments actually are.

parts of chalk, forty of rosin, four of linseed

One part of the native oxide of copper and
one of sulphuric acid are then to he added,
after which the composition is ready for
use. 1t is applied hot to the wood with a
brush in the same way as paint, and, as
before observed, becomes exceedingly hard

were principally attachment suits. Thos

An effort was then made by his counsel tc
change the reRHe; but the Judge, upon

application, became satisfied that the preiu

that he could get a tair and impartial trial
