ELocUTIoN.-Henry Ward Beecher, dis

If anybody would get view of what is in
prospect for us in the coming generation let
him attend some of the college commence

mouthing, spouting, droning young animal
to become your minister or ours? How
many of the so-called orators of the day. in
any OF the departments of life where men
are called to public speaking, are able to ad-
dress gathe ing of sensible people with the
natural conversational intonatious which are
iDseparable from truly effective oratory2 And
yet we know it to be quite possible to impart
that accomplishment, not merely to a few
rare-gifted individuals, but to a whole college
full OF students, almost without exception,
1t is true that much harm has been wrought
by charlatanry in this department of educa-
ton; but in other matters it is not our custom
to reject the true with the cOunterfeit-why,
then, should we do so in this? We know of
college, the speaking of whose students at
its recent commencement ought to be felt by
its officers as a burning disgrace, whose
trustees, nevertheless, rejected the applica-
tion of teacher of reputation and expert
ence to be permitted to give gratuitous in
struction in this branch-not because they
questioned the competency of the teacher,
but because they didn't believe in teaching

SocIALRANK IN ENGLAND.-Here is a new
definition of social rank which NAV, perhaps.
interest you Republicans. An action for
breach OF promise has just been tried in Dub
lin. The fair plaintiff was daughter of
dressmaker, but claimed to be 'lady." On
her eross-examination she was asked WHY
she considered herself higher in rank than
any young woman employed in bonnet
shop. do you think yourself higher than
the young women in Forests or Manning's,
for instance T'-two fashionable shops. The
young lady's answer is decisive ''Most GER
talnly cannot cut out dress | have never
made my own bonnets. So little do / know
OF millinery that the bonnet on nv own head
was made for me-" This is a new sort of ma
tent ofgentility, incapacity to make bonnet
or cut out any sort o. garment A yonng la
dy $ mother makes and sells bonnets: the
young lady herself lives on the money paid
for the bonnets, but she takes rank above her
mamma by virtue of the proud fact that she
does not know how to make anything.
| think this decidedly better than the con-
test for gentility between the Higgs family
and the Diggs family, recorded by Thackeray,
In which the scale is finally turned by the
grandeur of trip in the steamer to Margate.

Mr.. JAMES 1. FFLLows, Chemist st. John,

DEAR SIR: Having used your Chemical
preparation of Hypophosphites, which was
recommended to me by Mr.. Blagdon, Apothe-
cary of Rockland, 1 am truly surprised with
its wonderful effects, because for several years
my health has been declining, notwithstand-
ing every means possible, which offered eneour-
agement, was used by me. Several alarming
symptomsappeared amongst which Dyspepsia,
Palpitation of the Heart, Impoverished blood,
and great prostration. Since January when
began the use of your Syrup, my health has
steadily and amazingly improved, so that now
it gives me great pleasure to recommend it to
others, and in this way to show my gratitude
for return of health. To all who require a rem
edy for Debility, 1 will say that they will find
your Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
just what you say it is. l believe it the best
preparation i'm use. / am, sir, &C.,
ELEAzER CRABTREE,

TIME AND ENLIGHTENED EXPERIENCE have
shown that certain substances formerly used
and relied on in medical practice, are unneces-
sary and dangerous; yet some of these sub
stances have found their way into medical
compounds. DIR. WALKER's CALIFORNIA VIM
EGAR BrrTERs, however, contain nothing in
furious, being composed exclusively of vegeta-
BILE substances from California. For all disor-
ders of tie liver, kidneys, bladder, skin, and
digestive organs, and for purifying the blood,
they are the most wonderful remedy known.
