Warning to Those Using Ink.

The Cincinnati Chronicle mentions G
very peculiar case of sickness which
has been developed in one Of the mem
bers Of family residing at West End,
in that city. A little girl, aged about
fourteen years, is member Of the First
intermediate School, and has been in
the habit Of cleaning her pen by suck
ing the ink from it, and then swallow
ing the saliva thus poisoned. And it
has not been an unfrequent thing for
her to take bottle of ink and drink
from it as she would water. Every re-
monstrance of teachers and parents was
disregarded, until the poisonous fluid
had permeated her whole system, and
created disease which, if it does not
battle the best efforts Of medical men in
that city, will require long siege Of
sickness and suffering. The habit of
cleaning pens with the mouth is not an
uncommon one, and though the saliva
may be Immediately spit out, there yet
remains enough ink in it, if the practice
is continued, to gradually and surely
pass over the system, and, being poison
Gus, must do harm. A word to the wise
should be sufficient. @ s&

Singing.

Singing is the utterance Of joy, of
grateful joy; originally OF pious joy, we
may well believe, if we'turn back to the
earliest records: Then sang Moses
and the children of Israel this song un-
to tho Lord: I will sing unto the Lord,
for he hath triumphed gloriously, the
horse and his rider hath he thrown into
the sea. The Lord is my strength and
song, and he is become my salvation
In the Psalms the nations, the kings
doms, the righteous, the saints, the
heavens, the earth, all are called to sing;
to sing with gladness and shout for joy:
Gods majesty, his might, his grace,
his truth, his patience, all his
attributes, are to be subjects of our
songs; and teverthing that hath breath
is commanded to sing. The invitations
to praise, in the six concluding Psalms,
rouse the soul as with a whole band Of
music.-I James II. Kimball in Congre-
gationalist. Z<5s~-s haa4 #sod

- COLORADO In refutation of the pre-.
valent opinion that this Territory is
desert, almost destitute Of agricultural
resources,the Sonrthern Colorado Board
of Trade has issued the following state
ments: In the valleys, among the noun
tains, Ell Paso and Conejos counties, ARE
highly fertile. In FL Paso county
nearly 900 acres of land are under
cultivation, and 81, 900 more are suitable
far production. In Conejos county,
which is in San Luis Park, on
the Rio Grande river, 10000 acres are
under cultivation, and 100000 fit for
agriculture. The value Of lands and
Improvements in these two counties a.
lone is estimated at 81. 800, 600. In Ell
Paso the cost of irrigation is one-fifth
of the value of the area in cultivation
in Conejos, one>third !; S2 per cultiva-
ted acre in the former county, and 50 in
the latter The average yield of small
grain in Ell Paso is forty bushels per
acre, and thirty bushels per acre, and
thirty bushels Of corn, giving a money
return of $40 per acre Of small grain,
and S32 40 of corn. This is about
double the average return of the United
States for lands in small grain. The
reported cost of keeping cattle and sheep
refutes the impressions of inhospitable
climate and sterile lands. Three dollars
per head, it is asserted, is the cost of
keeping cattle, and fifty cents for keeps
ing sheep. t#ests4dsf& 19t Ha4354 atas
