How not to CritiCise.

1t is a curious feature, in the
common run of what are called
"reviewS" and "bOok notices. u
that the objections made to a
book so frequently consists in
the charge that 1t IS not some
thing else, AS a well known nov
elist remarked the other day,
"They find fault with a crab
because it is not lobster" Or,
an another eminent writer said
a hundred years ago: eff you
present them the handle Of a
knife, they complain that it is
not sharp; and ifyou offer them
the blade, they complain that it
is inconvenient to take hold Of"
Anybody who will examine
file ofnewspaper notices of Miss

accordingly, that number of
them consist in substance of as
that Miss Ingelow has
heretofore written poems, and
that this novel is no a poem. 1t
certainly is not; nor is it a pig.
But why say SO? "There are
some things which this court
may be supposed to know

Important il TFue-A Farmers
Strange Discovery.

. A farmer named Baker, liv-
ing near Rochester, on the Ce-
dar River, went into his pas
lures, one day, and salted his
cattle. The animals licked up
the salt with customary eager
ness, but the next day a fine
COW died, after a few hours in
tense suffering. Soon another
was attacked in the same way,
and then another and another
until eight were lost. Mr.. Ba-
ker at once suspected that the
salt he had given them con-
tanned poison, and took a SAM
pie Of it to Dr. Jamison Of Mos
COW, who examined it without
finding traces of any injurious
substance. The Doctor then
went up to Bakers farm, and
found on the bank of Crooked
creek, where the cattle went to
drink, Vermilllon-colored earth,
which he thought might con-
tain quicksilver. This, to his
mind, fully explained the death
of the cattle. They had swal-
lowed some of the mercuriaI
earth, or water impregnated
with it, which, combining with
the salt in their stomachs,
formed corrosive sublimate in
sufficient quantities to cause
death. He then hastily ar
ranged very crude apparatus
for extracting the quicksilver,
and succeeded in getting
yield of 10 per cent. Of pure
mercury. The beds from which
the quicksilver was taken ex-
tend for about a mile along tho
creek, in layers from five to
ten feet in thickness. These
crop out in various places, and
can be easily worked but
whether at a profit in something
yet to be determined Davcn-

On Sunday, Aunt Hager, a
colored woman, died in the

years old, having been born on

was native of Virginia, and
was brought to Kentucky, at
an early day of its settlement,
by Lewis Wizcoxen, whose wife
was sister to Ben. Beall the
elder, grandfather of Ben. Beall
the present circuit clerk of
Campbell county. She died of
old age. For the last twenty
years she has been blind, but in
other respects possessed all her
faculties to the last.

JOnah's Prayer.


f-..
Jonah's prayer was not nota-
BILE for it's words. The fish's
belly was not the place for
picked phrases, nor for long
winded orations. We do not
believe that he offered a long
prayer, but it came right up
from his heart and flew straight
up to heaven. 1t was shot by
the strong bow of intense desire
sire and agony of soul, and
therefore, it speeded its way to
the throne of the Most High
If you would now pray, never
mind your words--it is the soul
of prayer that God accepts. If
you would be saved, go to your
chamber, and rise not from your
knees till the Lord has heard
you. Ay, where you now are
let your soul pour out them
selves before God, and faith in
Jesus will give you immediate
salvation. .-Spuryeoa.

FooD MEDIoINE.-Dr. Hall
relates the case of a man who
was cured of his billiousness by
going without his supper and
drinking freely Of lemonade:
''Every morning." says the
doctor "this patient arose with
a wonderful sense of rest and
refreshment, and a feeling as
though the blood had been
literally washed, cleansed and
cooled by the lemonade and
the fast. His theory is that
food will be used as a remedy
for many disease successfully
So the way to keep good health
is really to know what to eat
not to know what medicines
to take" o

On Gratitude,

There is not a more pleasing
exercise of the mind than graf
itude. 1t is accompanied with
SO great inward satisfaction,
that the duty is sufficiently re-
warded by the performance. 1t
is not like the practice of many
other virtues, difficult and pain
ful, but attended With so much
pleasure, that there were no
positive command which en-
joins it, nor any recompence
laid up for it hereafter, a gen
erous mind would indulge it,
for the natural qualification
which it affords.
If gratitude is due from man
to man, how much more from
man to his Maker. The Supreme
Being does not only confer up
on us those bounties which pro-
ceed more Immediately from
His hand ; even those benefits
which are conveyed to us by
others. Every blessing we en-
joy, by what means soever it
may be conferred upon us, is
the gift of Him who is the
great Author of good, and the
Father Of mercies.
If gratitude, when exerted
toward one another, naturally
produces a very pleasant sensa-
ton in the mind of a grateful
man, it exalts the soul into rap
ture, when it is employed on
this great object of gratitude,
on this beniicent being, who
has given us everything we
already possess, and from whom
we expect everything we yet
hope for. Lord give us a heart
with less inurbanity, and more
incentive gratitude.

and keeps on,
why do boys ever com
mence using it?
A. Because they see men
using It, and, as they are going
to be 9enn some day, they want
to use It.
Q. How do our men come to
use it, in the first place ?
A. They saw the wild Indian
use it
.. A very poor reason. But
what can we do about ii?
A. The boys can do some
good by learning all they can
about the mischief It does, so
that they will never wish to
learn the use Of it.
q, How can we help each
other in this good work?
A, Anti-Tobacco societies and
Bands of Hope can be formed,
in which these truths will be
studied, and people can give
money to distribute tracts, and
editors can show it up in their
papers, so that everybody can
learn what mischief it does.
Q. How much good will that
do?
A. They tell us that knowl-
edge is power, and, if the wild
Indians did not know any bet
ter than to poison themselves
with tobacco, perhaps intelli-
gent Christian people can
learn, and we mean to try.

A Scene from Life.

A young man entered the
bar-room of a village tavern,
and called for a drink.
"No," said the landlord,
you have too much already.
You have had delirium tremens
once, and | cannot sell you any
more"
We stepped aside to make
room for a couple of young
men who had just entered, and
the landlord waited upon them
very politely.
The other had stood by ST.
lent and sullen, and when they
had finished he walked up to
the lannlord, and thus addressed
him:
" Six years ago, at their age,
| stood where these young men
now are. | was a man with
fair prospects. Now at the age
of twenty-eight, | am a wreck,
body and mind. You led me
to drink. In this room | formed
the habit that has been my ruin.
Now sell me a few glasses more
and your work will be. done |!

there is no hope for me. But
they can be saved they may
be men again. Do not sell it to
them. Sell to me and let me
die, and the world will be rid of
me but for heavens sake sell
not a drop more to them p
The landlord listened, pale
and trembling. Setting down
his decanter, he exclaimed, God
helping me, that is the last drop
l will ever sell to any one! And
he kept his word.

Health.
CatechiSm OH Tobacco.

BY JULIA COLMAN.
Q. What is tobacco
A. A poisonous plant.
Q. Why no you call it pois.
onous ?
A. Because, if person takes
a little, it makes him sick.
Q. In what way?
A. He turns pale, trembles,
becomes dizzy, vomits, retches,
and sometimes swoons away.
Q. What is the cause of all
this commotion
A. The system, recognizing
tobacco as a poison, makes vio-
lent efforts to get rid of it.
@. Does it always succeed ?
A. Not always; if enough
tobacco is taken it causes
death.
@, How much is enough
one mouthful ?
A. Much less than that often
proves fatal.
Q, But we see men take
large mouthfuls every day with
out appearing sick ?
A. That is because they have
become accustomed to it.
Q. How do you explain that?
A. If it is continually put in,
the system gradually leaves off
those violent efforts, and expels
it more quietly, works it off in
some other way.
@. Is it still a poison ?
A. 1t is, and it goes all
through the system doing much
injury.
Q. But you said the system
worked it off?
A. So it does; but very
slowly, and it hurts itself in do
ing it?
@. Explain how2
A. The system was not made
to work off tobacco. 1t has
other work to do keeping us
well and strong, and this extra
work weakens 1t 50 that it can
not do its own work properly.
q. But supposing only a lit
tie is taken, does that do any
hurt ?
A. All poisOns hurt they
