THE BIBLE IN THE FAMILY.-The
family relation is ordained of God,
and has, all down the ages, been es-
pecially blessed of Him.
The bible embodies a constitution
for the family, and there can be no
permanent and lasting prosperity in
the family where the bible is excluded.
It's lessons of love, trust, patience, for
bearance and virtue, are the only sure
foundations and safeguards of domes-
tic happiness.
Are we not right, then, in saying,
that no family in this bible-blessed
land should be without copy of the
scriptures.
And not only should the members
of the family circle each have his own
private copy, but there should be if
possible, the family bible, which by
its size and prominent position, be-
speaks the reverence, in which it is
held, aud it is constant recognition
of the principles on which the family
is based. The old family bible, what
memories are recalled by it. what as
sociations cluster about it; the voices
of those now passed away read to US
from its pages, and the names of both
living and dead are inscribed in its
family records.
CULTIVATE THE CHILDREN.-Oneo of
the best mothers we ever knew used to
make it a matter Of principle not to
permit anything to interfere with the
bestowing of all Saturdays upon her
children. AS might be expected, it
paid. They grew up to know much
about books, and not little about
pictures and statuary, with strong in
tellectual tastes. Cultivate the little
ones, for as we grow older, and the
sources of pleasure become narrow
we involuntarily draw from their fresh
ness. Buy them books and toys
What if they destroy them? That IS
their way of increasing their par value.
The cat with excrescences OF glue
on its legs, and dog with neither
bark nor bite, are treasured. Guilt
vate the children To be sure, when
they grow up they will not cultivate
you; but what of this? The mother
who does not feel that her children
pay her day by day as she goes along,
has mistaken her calling and better be
an old maid and raise hens.

far from having sanctity in my eyes,
as the spear that pierced the side of
the Saviour or the scourge that drew

But there is no accounting for the

me, know that many English and

VENOM OF TOADS.-The toad, form
erIy considered as a creature to be
feared, does, in reality, possess ven
ON capable of killing certain animals,
and injuring man. The poison is not
as is generally thought, secreted by
the mouth it is sort of epidemic
secretion, which acts pow
erfully if the skin is abraded at the
time of contact. Dogs, which bite toads
soon give voice to howls Of pain. On
examination, it is found that the pal
ate and tongue are swollen, and Wis
cous mucus is eNuded. Smaller ami
mails coming under the influence of
the venom undergo true narcotic pois-
oning, soon followed by commissions
and death. Experiments, made by
NJ. NJ. Gratiolet, Cloez and Vulpian,
show that the matter exuding from
the paroted region of the toad be-
comes poisonous when introduced in
to the tissues. A tortoise, lamed in
the hind foot, was completely paralyz.
ed at the end of Is days; and the
paralysis lasted several months. Some
savages in South America use the &C.
id fluid of the cutaneous glands Of the
toad instead of the curara poison

To CONsUMPTIvEs EVERYWHERE
Having seen much suffering from con-
sumption, and knowing that thousands
of dollars are yearly spent by inval-
ids travelling for their health, and on
medicines and physicians, we propose
simple recipe by which patients may
become their own physicians, and, if
not too far gone, will guarantee a per-
feet cure if made and regularly taken
according to direction. The ingredi-
ents are hoarhound, mullen, and mo-
lasses-ingredients that are in reach
of all, the mullen growing wild in ev-
cry field, the hoarhound in almost ev-
cry garden, and the molasses to be
had at any grocery. The directions
for making are to take large hand
tul OF hoarhound and boil as strong a
tea as possibly can be made. Take
up and then boil an equal amount of
mullen in the same way. Take cup
tul of the tea Of the mullen and mix
together in suitable vessel, then add
a cupful of molasses and stew to a
syrup-the quicker the better. Take
"a tablespoonful or large swallow
three times a day. Be particular in
the following directions as to making,
and also as to taking it, and we will
guarantee relief III all cases not too
far advanced.
The writer does not claim this re-
cipe originally with himself, but has
recommended it in many cases with
good results. As the ingredients are
so common and 50 easily obtained, it
is not best to make more than quart
at time, particularly in warm wealth
er, as the fresher it is, the better ef-
feet will be produced.
Papers of the country will confer
a blessing on this, alas ! too numerous
cIass-north, south, east and vest
by publishing the above recipe.-Au-

ries, cutting down forests, building towns
and cities, and connecting them by a
network of railroads, canals and 'tele-
