what dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the facul-
ty Perhaps not in itself, while it remains
mere indigestion; but look at the consequences
to which it may lead, and often does lead when
it becomes chronic disease. A spark OF fire
is small thing. A pressure of the foot will
put it out; breath will extinguish it. Yet it
may fire powder mill, or kindle fame that
will consume city. In like manner indiges-
ton may produce gastritis, cancer of the stom-
ach, congestioniof the bowels, apoplexy, liver
disease, and many other dangerous maladies.
Is it not wise, then, to check it in the germ?
Nothing is more clearly and indisputably es-
tablished than thatH ostetter' s Stomach Bitters
will eradicate dyspepsia in all its stages. The
true policy, however, is to extinguish it in the
first stages with this wholesome, powerful and
infallible tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier to
quench spark than a fame, and it is easier to
cure dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made Roadway by neglect, and be-
is not the shadow of doubt that the bitters
are as directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as wa
ter is to fire. There are thousands of cases on
record proving this fact. The remedy is safe
and agreeable. All the liquors OF commerce
prescribed as stimulants leave sting behind.
But the sting is taken out of the spirituous
of this great remedy by vegetable medication,
and moreover, the stimulant thus indicated IS
of exceptional purity. OF all tonics taken as
safeguards or remedies for fever and ague bill
Gus remittents, and other epidemics, it is the
only one that can uniformly be depended on.

The preparatory department. will continue a
necessity so long as boys deficient in prepare
ton are sent up from both public and private
schools To make a frst-class college the
department Of instruction must be enlarged

general depravity would long since have swept
over the whole State, indeed, over the whole
country. / would also like to know, sir, the
difference between robbing man of what is
justly his own, because he is weak and unable
to protect and defend his rights, and that OF
robbing our own children of that which we
justly owe them, and which they have the right
to demand of US; they are also helpless and de-
fenceless, and if parents neglect or refuse to
give them the best education in their power,
ask what is the difference? Are not both cases
analogous? The law would soon be upon the

Lasting LoveIiness.-Twenty years ago,
when paint pearl powder and enamel were
running the complexion and destroying the
health Of women of fashion, HAGAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM was brought out as pure botanical cos
metic, guaranteed to restore bloom and beauty
to the skin. From that time to the present it
has been continually rising in pubic cstima-
ton as the safest and most unexceptionable
preparation of its class. Instead of producing
an artificial, metallic surface, like the. deadly
enamels, or willing the cuticle like the poison
Gus fluids sold under various names as "beau-
tifers,' it keeps the skin as soft as velvet,
renders it as smooth and glossy as satin, and
imparts to it that delicate, rosy tinge, which is
the beau ideal of complexional loveliness. This
exquisite chromatic effect is not transient. By
applying the Balm daily it may be prolonged
from youth to age. A lady who purchased the
first bottle of the article nineteen years ago,
writes to say that her complexion at forty is
"purer, clearer and more brilliant than it has
ever been and she attributes its beauty solely
to the daily use of HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM.

CoMMUNICATED.1
Compulsory Education.

Ar. Editor:-1t is we'll known fact that all
the same subject. Judging from the tenor of
your correspondents article in your issue of
March LIST, in reference to mine in previous
issue, upon the subject of Compulsory Educa-
ton, he does not seem to agree with me in some
of my views on that subject. He asks, "Will
the gentleman tell US where he will find in the
Bill of Rights the concession to any body of
rulers of the right to compel parents to send
their children to this school, or that school, to
a common school, a public school, or private
school, or any school?' He might have as
consistently asked where in the Bill of Rights
will find the concession to any body of rulers
of the right to compel the property holders to
pay taxes. will refer the gentleman to the
following:
"That the Legislature ought to encourage
the diffusion of knowledge and virtue, the ex-
tension of a judicious system of general educa-
ton the promotion of literature, the arts, sci
ences, agriculture, commerce and manufactures,
and the general Moderation of the condition of
the people," Declaration of Rights, Art 43.
Sir, if the trainers of the above article, then
in Convention assembled, had been of the same
opinion as your correspondent-"Ed Education is
good-Liberty is better''-I doubt whether we
should have been able to refer him, to-day, to
that ADD Article in the Bill of Rights.
He seems not to have a very special fondness
for compulsory education, for, in referring to
my former article, he cares very little about it.
| yet, when he comes forward and proclaims
his dogma of compulsory education, he asserts
the right of government officials to invade the
sanctuary of home" I would like to know
,chen the time was that they had not such right
Let man violate the law, and I'll guarantee
'the sanctuary of home is invaded by ''gov-
eminent officials if needs be.
The Legislature has, by law, established
| throughout the State system of Free Public
Schools for the general good of the State and
for the good of society. Will he tell us from
what source comes the right to exact from, and
to compel, property holders to pay tax to
support these very schools which he is not will
ing to acknowledge the State has the power to
compel parents to send their children to? Is
he not compelled, by the law, to- pay school
tax? Where, then, is his boosted liberty
if he is compelled to pay, of his substance, to
support system of Free Public Schools, or for
any other purpose, if he denies the right of
compulsion, and yet submits to it? Iconsider,
sir, that all laws are more or less, compulsory,
either directly OF indirectly; 1T were not so,

SENSATION IN PLANTs.-M. Figuler
believes that plant has the sensation of
pleasure and pain. Cold, for instance, he
says, affects it painfully. We see it con-
tract, or, SO to speak, shiver under a sud-
den or violent depression of temperature.
An abnormal elevation of temperature
evidently causes it to suffer, for in Smany
vegetables, when the heat is excessive, the
leaves droop on the stalk, fold themselves
together and wither; when the cool of the
evening comes, the leaves straighten, and
the plant resumes a serene undisturbed ap-
pearance. Drought causes evident suffering
to plants, for when they are watered after
prolonged drought they show signs of
satisfaction.
The sensitive plant, touched by the fin
ger or only visited by a current of unwel-
come air, folds its petals and contracts it
self. The botanist Destontaines saw one
which he was conveying in carriage fold
lts leaves while the vehicle was in motion,
and expand them when it stopped-a
proof that it was the motion that disturbed
It.
Sensation in plants is of thcsame kind as
in animals, since electricity kills ard
crushes them as it does animals. Plants
may also be put to sleep BY washing them
in opium dissolved in water, and hydroc-
yanic acid destroys their vitality-as quick
ly as it does that of animals.
