A NEw IssUE,--We desire to see the liquor
traffic placed under proper restrictions, but
must admit that the following resolve. being
the first one adopted by tie Cambria Couu-
ty Temperance Society. sounds a little queer
to us. 1t commences thuS..
Resolved, That, as there is no great ques-
ton of public interest at stake Mt this hour
before the national mind texcept the Christ
ian religionl equal in magnitude and import
ance to that of the consu1nmation Of the tenn
perancc reform, etc,
Now, it is entirely news to us that the
Christian religion is "at stake" before the
national mind" We thought that if there
was any subject upon which our. people
were agreed, it was the truths of the Christ
ian religion. Can any of our temperance
friends inform us when this question was
put at stake

Na,ureiso Lieh1ning Rods.

"a To guard his roof against the destructive
action of electricity, a man ereets light
ming rod, whose bristlihg points quietly
drain the clouds, or, faiIihg to do this, re-
the earth! But ages before franklin
pointed the first rod to the storms, the
mercifiIl Parent of mankind had sur
rounded the dwellings of His children
with a protection far more effectual
than this; for Since the creation of or
ganie lite, every pointed leaf, twig, and ev-
cry blade of grass has been silently disarm-
ing the clouds of their destructive weapon.
1t is difficult to improve upon nature, and
man constantly finds that in his best inven-
tions he has been anticipated by greater
Inventor than he. So, not long after Frank
lin had discovered the efficacy of metallic
points in disSipating charge of electricity
and had applied the principle in construct
ing the lightning rod, it was found that a
simple blade of grass, pointed with natures
exquisite workmanship, was three times as
effective as the finest caniGric needle, and 3
single twig far more efficient than the best
constructed lightning rod.
When you reflect how many of these
vegetable points every tree directs to the
sky, and consider what must be the agency
of a forest with its innumeTable twigs, or a
single meadow, with its countless blades of
grass, and then when you remember that
these are only subsidiary to those mountain
chains, whose icraggy SUBMITS pierce the
clouds themselves, and still further, when
you learn that the rain drops and snow
flakes have been made good conductors, so
that during the storms bridge is thrown
across from the clouds to the earth, you will
see how abundant the protection is, and
with what care Providence has protected
us against the destructive agent. It is
only under unusual circumstances, when
electricity is developed more rapidly than
itcan be dissipated through these number
less channels, that a violent discharge takes
place, and if then it tears, burns or Kills, it
also reveals the merciful hand which con-
stantly spares.-P Professor Cooke. u =.

I'VE will give to intellect, to religion, and
to all virtues, the honor that belongs to
them. And still it may be boldly affirmed
that economy, taste, skfll, and neatness in
the kitchen have a great deal to do in MAX
ing life happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary that a
house should be filled with luXuries. The
qualifications for all good housekeeping
can be displayed as well on, a small scale as
on large one. ,,.,<..,.t sffz sr.s7ssss
Skillful cooking is as readily discovered
in nicely baked potato or a respectable
Johnny cake, as in q nut brown sirloin or a
brace of canvass backs.
The charm of good housekeeping is the
order of economy and taste displayed in
attention to little things. and these little
things have a wonderful Influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking. have
driven many a one from home to seek. for
comfort and happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is q science-a theory
of life which all sensible women ought to
study and practice. None of our excellent
girls are fit to be married until they are
thoroughly educated in the deep and pro-
found mysteries of the Kitchen. 7-'-'
