JOSEPHINE-So far as the intrinsic
interests of the facts is concerned
upon which Miss Muhlbach bases her
story, this latest production of her
pen may be said to rival any of its
predecessors. Nowhere in all his
tory IS there a tragedy so sweet and
sad as that of Josephine-woman,
wife, empress, and worse than widow
ed. The skillful romancer has gath
cred the fact from all known sources,
and woven them into a compact an
cleaning web. Miss Muhlbach is &C
eused of high coloring; but what
tints can be too bright or too dark by
contrast for the light and shade of
such a marvellously chequered career
as Josephine's? This tale is well
translated, and the graceful character
istlc style of the author duly pres
erved. In the art of gently beguiline
the reader from page to page by the
charm of style, Miss Muhlback ha.
no superior living; though, in this
instance, the dramatic arrangement
of the string incidents is SO ingenious
and captivating that more barrer
style would still have left the worl
highly interesting. We are glad tc
see the Empress Josephine" worth
ly illustrated. The can be no disput
ing about the claims of such Lowell,
designs as the vignette, Marie An
toinette, the night before the execu
ton, the beautiful Hortense meditat
ing in garden, the divorced Elm
press, and Josephine's stolen inter
view with the little Napoleon. Gas
ton Fay is the author of these ex
quisite sketches, and unless we mis-
take, he has the stuff in him for tn
making of a first class reputation.

A GREAT LUNG MEDrc,up III.


A GREAT LUNG MEDICINE Tboro
ls one medicine, which has been nre.
pared for the cure of affections Of Tho
lungs, which has been very largely
used and tested, which we wish to re.
commend to the public for the reason
that we can do it in all truth and sim
cerity, believing as we do, that it is
not, and never has been surpassed for
excellence and thorough efficiency.
That medicine is "ALLEN'S LUNG
.BALSAM." 1T is prepared ybv a
chemical process and apparatus of
more than ordinarily costly nature
and is beyond all question a never
failing and thoroughly complete cure
for coughs and affections of the lungs,
even when the latter are of very Sc
nous and threatening character. One
eAoo'ien1 physician goes so far as to
state publicly over his own signature
that he has a perfect conviction that
deep-seated pulmonary eonsnmnt;on
has been cured by the use Of A5Ien's
Lung Balsam; and there. are an
abundance of the most respectable
testimonials, that it has in innumera-
BILE instances effectually cured very
severe coughs of long standing, &C
companied with cold chiIls, night
sweats and diarrh9a-the system of
the sufferer being, in some cases very
much Frustrated. E-oll-
We do not hesitate to say. from
our knowledge of the virtue of this
Balsam, and from the entire confidence
we have in the character of its pro-
prietors, and the statement of GER
tain citizens who have repeatedly
used the medicine, that it is really one
of the best things ever yet discover
ed for the cure of the particular
maladies for which it is designed
We will only add, let every one who
has an affection of the lungs, get a
bottle of "Allen's Lung Balsam," and
give it fair trial. Having done this,
they will need no testimonials to con-
vince them of its extraordinary mer-
lts.-Prouidence Aduertiser. lt5.

A Few Words about Teaching.

We saw some things and heard
others, at the late meeting of the
State Teachers Association here,
upon which we propose to make a
few comments. .a
The defects in the work of our
public schools, of which we have been
somewhat painfully aware were some
of them brought out. ....H #.
The prevalence of bad spelling
was partly brought to light. 1t was
shown that those who aspire for a
higher education than the public
schools afford, are sadly deficient in
this fundamental branch Of education.
And if it is so with them, it may reas-
onably be inferred that the deficiency
will be at least as great among those
who do not seek anything above what
the Common School affords. Those
who do not care to take the work of
such as know how glaring these de-
fciencies are, may suppose if they
like, that those who seek a higher
education will be as careful about
learning to spell, as will those who
do not. We shall then have a case
admitted to be bad enough to call for
a remedy. And the same thing that
is true of spelling, is true also of eve
~ branch of a common education
This fact was brought to light some
what in the convention. Now this is
an evil, for there is money enough
paid for the purposes of public in.
struction to bring better results.
What then is the difficulty in the
work, and what is the remedy p
We think the difficulty may arise
or be aggravated by several causes
of one important difficulty we propose
to speak a word; and that lies OF
the part of those who take the place
of instructors. Nearly every one
who tries the business of school keep
ing, will, after few terms, or year,
at most, pronounce it hard thank
less business, and leave it. Now her
is cause sufficient to produce sal
results. He who passes over badl
laid, and badly worked road once o
twice, will naturally scold a littl
about it, but that is all, only he wi
take some other route the next tim
he wishes to journey. But the ma
whose purpose is to use the roa
constantly will not be quiet to dri'
up Sand hills in roundabout wa
over a rough bottom, while there
any way for him to move for a bette
road. Is it not true of the scho
teacher, that he does not expect
follow the business, and so the diff
culties that arise, he passes in Il
easiest way he can? He does n
take hold of those hard trials wi
his might and work them out.
These dead lifts he expects to maj
bat few times, and so he is at no G
pense of brain and time to invent
method to do the work in an east
and more successful way than by t
dead lift. If he finds pupil, ella
or school dull about some bran,
he will get along with it as easy
he can and turn it over to the next,
do - the same thing of course.
His reputation as teacher is lit
exposed by this, for he does not CT
whether he has any reputation.
does not expect to follow the bl
ness. ..-
We put this question to practi
men, whether there will be good g
thorough teaching, till there shall
teachers who make teaching a +
fession-a life work ?

tastes of the inhabitants OF the island. The

one Of the enigmas Of China, and

very tasty and rapid job printers amongst these
Chinese who do work to the satisfaction of all
who employ them.
