Hon. JOHN BELIEVE copy the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Shelbyville
(Tenn.) Union:
This once able statesman is still alive
and lives over on the Cumberland now.
He is now upwards of seventy-six years
of age, and compared with his former
self is but wreck. His health is by
no means good, and he but awaits the
dread summons which must take him
from earth to eternity

One great reason why children dislike
attending church and listening to adj
dresses made for their special benefit, is
that buta small portion of the clergy
men have the tact Of bringing their
thoughts to. a grade equal to that of the
young audience, and that when they
have said enough they don't know
enough to stop. More brevity and di-
rect application are all that is necessary
to secure the attention Of the little ones;
if this is neglected, we cannot blame a
child, who, seeing a minister gaining
his strength for new assault, yawn as
fearfully, and then cries out: ssOh, mo-
,ther, he isn't going to stop at ALL He's
swelling all up again" s... 81

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES.
From the late President of the United States
John Quincy Adams: OF all the periodical jour
nails devoted to literature and science, which
abound in Europe and this country, the Living
Age has appeared TO me the most useful.
From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher May, 1867
Were /, in view of all the competitors now in the
field, to choose. I should undoubtedly choose the
Living Age. There is not in any library that
know of so much instructive and entertaining
reading in the same number of volumes.
From the New York Times The taste, judg-
ment and wise tact displayed in the selection Of
articles are above all praise, because they have
never been equaled.
From the Springfield (Mass) Republican: We
can do those among our readers who love sound
and pure literature no better service than by refer
ring them to this sterling weekly. 1t is decidedly
the best magazine of its class published in the
United States, if not in the world.
