nothing to indicate their locality save the
white church spires that rise above the foli-
age. Standing in the centre of this circle,
it will be diiiicult, if possible, to recall a
locality in New England, suitable for resi-
dences, presenting so numerous and varied
atlractions--such a variety of landscape
such combinations of nature and art, of
city and country, of field and forest, Of land
and sea such facilities for access to the
great business centre of New England and,
at the same time, blessed with so healthful
and salubrious a climate.
The expense of building and living is
much less than in the city. 1t is, in fact,
country life with city privileges. The rail-
road company gives free pass to and from
the city for three years TO those who build
or buy a house for personal residence.
Building lots are now sold at from to
10 cents per foot, according to location, but
are fast advancing in value. 1t will be
difficult to find a locality where a young
man entering business in Boston, or man
of moderate means wishing to retire from
business, can make for himself more
agreeable or economical home than here.
Ifany of your readers of good character
and hab't emo others need apply'') wish
to know more of this locality, they can at
any time when in Boston, call at No. 8,
State street, and be assured of most cordial
and gentlemanly attentions from George

Professor Austin Flint OF Bellevue Med

on the Practice of Medicine, mentions the
use of tobacco as being cause of function

Professor Willard Parker Of New York,
one of the most distinguished physicians
and surgeons in this or any other country,
says: "Persons addicted to the use of to-
bacco recover from fever or from injury
much more slowly, and with less proof of
heathtul energy in the process, than those
who are not so addicted"

years the distinguished Superintendent of
the Hospital FOR the Insane, at Worcester,

to the nervous system, produ ing tremors,
vertiro, faintness, palpitation of the heart,
and other serious diseases. That tobacco
certainly produces insanity, l am fully
confident. lis influence upon the brain,
and nervous system generally, is hardly
less than that of alcohol, and if excessively
used, is equally injurious. In our expert
once in this hospital, tobacco in all its forms
is injurious to the insane. 1t increases ex-
citement of the nervous system in many
cases, deranges the stomach, and produces
vertigo, tremors, and stupor in Others
The late Professor Chapman of Philade-
phia, referring to tobacco, says: II have
met with several instances Of mental dis
order closely resembling delirium tremens,
which resulted from its abuse. and which
subsded in a few days after it had been

GOD E.y THE CO.vsYETUTEO.N'.


The following correspondence between
the "Pnesbytery of the Eastward" and
George Washington, dated shortly after
the adoption of the Constitution, shows
that the same ideas prevailed among GER
tain class of theologians then as now, and
the reply of the Father of his Country will
be found a crusher. 1t was taken from
the Massachusetts Centinel of December 5,
1879.
"The Presbytery of the Eastward, con-
vened at Newburyport, in their address to
the President of the United States in his
late tour says: Among the objections to
the federal constitution we never consider
ed the want of a religious test-that grand
engine of prosecutions in every tyranps
hand. But we should not have been alone
in rejoicing to have seen some explicit ac-
acknowledgement of the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom He has sent, inserted
somewhere in the Magma Charta of our
country. We are happy TO find, however,
that this defect has been amply remedied
in the face of the world by The piety and
devotion in which your first public act of
office was performed, by the religious OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, and of the public
worship of God, of which you have set so
eminent an example, and by the warm
strains of Christian and devout affections
which run through your late proclamation
for general Thanksgiving"

chuSetts and NeW Hampshire, which conf
pose the first Presbytery of the Eastward.

How COAL WAS DISCOVERED IN PENN

constructing a lime kiln, Col. Geo. Shoe
maker, who lived on the Schuylkill river,
used some of the black stones that were
lying about the place. Mine Got! mine
Got der stones pc all on fire r. exclaimed
the astonished Dutchman, when the rich
glow of the anthracite met his gaze. The
neighbors, who, Of course, were few and
far between, We're, aller much ado, assem-
bled to witness the marvel. This happened
in 1872. Shortly after mino host loaded II
Pennsylvania team with the black stones
and iournoyed slowly to Philadelphia,
distance of ninety three miles. There
unforeseen difficulties We're presented.
The CRATES and stoves then in use were not
constructed to facilitate the combustion of
anthracite. and burn II would not. After
many Intellectual efforts to ignite the pro-
duct ii was thrown aside as worthless, aud
our discounted German, who mad beguiled
his itoilsome way TO the metropolis with
dreams of ingots, returned to digest his
disappointment in his mountain solitude.

moment lost, the next half seen,
His head above the scanty screen,
still measuring out his deep salaams
Through quavering hymns and painting psalms.
No priest that prays in gllded stole,
To save a rich mans mortgaged soul;
No sister, fresh from holy vows,-
So humbly stoops 30 meekly bows;
His large obeisance puts to shame
The proudes. genunecting dame,
whose Easter bonnet low descends
with all the grace devotion lends.
o brother with the supple spine,
How much We owe those bows Of thine!
without thine arm TO lend the breeze,
How vain the fingers ON the keys!
Though all unmatched the players skill,
Those thousand throats were dumb and rtill.
Ano.her's art may shape the tone,
The breath that nils it is thine own.
Six days the silent Memnon waits
Behind his temples folded gates;
But when the seventh days sunshire falls
Through rainbowed windows on the walls,
He breathes, lie sings, he shouts, he fills
The quivering air with rapturous thrills;
The roof resounds, the pillars shake,
And all the slumbering echoes wake;

With weary words my soLl has yexed;

But thou, with decent mein and face,
Art always ready in thy place;
The strenuous blast, whateer the tune,
As steady as the strong monsoon;
Thy only dread a leathory creak,
Or small residual extra squeak,
To send along the shadowy aisles
sunlit wave of dimplcd smiles.
Not all the preaching, o my friend,
Comes from the churchs pulrit end
Not all that bend the knee and bow
Yield service half SO true as thou
One simple ask pcrfJrmed Alright,
With slender skill but all thy might
Where honest labor does its best,
And leaves the player all the rest.
This many-diapasoned maze,
Through which the breath Of being strays.
Whose music makes our earth divine,
Has 1rk for mortal hands like mine.
My duty lies before me. Lo,
The lever there! Take hold and blow
And He whose hand is on the keys
Will play the tune as He shall ploasel
