The Deacon's Retort.

/
In my minds eye can see Uncle
Elliot's bald and polished pate as
plainly as 1 could see in the years
agone, when, O. a Sunday, it used to
bob up and down, and sway to and
fro, in the pew before me. Genial,
good souled man! He was a deacon
in those days. We elected him
deacon after Jabez Rennett died. 1t
came hard for us to drop the long
used "Uncle," and call him Deacon
Elliott" but we accomplished the
feat in time, and the dignified appel
lative came at length to sound quite
natural and home-like. Parson
Kimball, when he knew that Elliot
had been elected as deacon, simply
expressed the hope that the worthy
and respected brother thus elevated
might become a true and reliable
spiritual guide in the congregation.
"And to the end" the Parson added,
che must, above all things, learn to
keep awake during religious seryi-
ces.p
How well ] remember that time.

August, warm and sultry-Ben Gree

hind the Deacon. Parson KimbalPs
subject was regeneration; and he
considered it under the usual num-
Der of heads. To him the subject
was one of the deepest import, and
Of vital consequence, and he desired
his flock should enter into the spir-
it with. him. He preached vigorous
ly, albeit his propositions were OBJ
tuse and his reasoning exceedingly
metaphysical. 1t soon became very
evident that the good Deacon was
not particularly interested. He be-
gan to nod and dose, and ere long
his cleaning pate swayed with that
measured cadence which character
ICES the nOdding of the habitual
church sleeper. Parson Kimball
saw, and was indignant. He raised |
his voice and talked directly at the
slumbering offender. He pithced a
still higher note and smote his fist |
upon the pulpit. And still the dea-
con nodded. "Wretched mortal, |
slnmbering upon the brink of dark |
despair, awakep' improvised the
Parson. But to no avail. The Dea-
cons auditory nerves were not star
tied by notes so familiar At length,
grown desperate, the Parson resolv-
ed upon a direct and bold attack.
The occasion demanded it. He
would administer a reprOof which

Our girls and boys probably have
often heard this expression, and, it
may be, they would like an explana-
tion of it. Giving quarter is a Gus
tom well known in warefare, and it
came from an agreement between the
Dutch and Spanish, that when a sol
dier or an officer was taken prisoner,
his ransom or price of liberty would
be a quarter of his years pay
Hence, for the conquered to beg
quarter, was to offer n quarter of
their pay for personal safety. "No
quarter" meant, IN plain terms, that
liberty would not be granted for that
price.

Debating the abolition Of the US
ury laws, the CINCINNATI Gazette
thinks we shall soon have free trade
in money throughout the United
States. In Massachusetts the usury
laws were abolished over q year ago,
and the result has been so favorable
to borrowers that the man who
should propose to re-enact them
would be laughed at. 1t is hard to
break over old prejudices, and it is
not surprising to hear men who have
been educated to believe thatmoney
can be made cheaper by restricting
the rate of interest, opposing free
trade and closing their eyes against
the flood oflight that experience has
thrown upon the subject.

surely and effectually control them. The tes-
timOny of our best citizens, of all classes, es-
tablishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL
will and does relieve and cure the affecting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous alice
tiOns of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; and cases of Consumption, cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As REM
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
RELY for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease, il
saves unnum5ered lives, and an amount of
suffering not to be computed. It challenges
trial, and cOnvinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on land as a
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura-
bic, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves, md saved 10 the love and affection
centred on them. It acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one viii suffer

climate on the North Pacific ocean

Climate on the North Pacific Ocean
A correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean writing from Olympia
Washington Territory, Jan. 5, says
If there is one thing above an
other that the people of Washington
Territory pride themselves on, and
about which they love to expatiate,
it is the climate, and it does seem q
matter of congratulation, as we sit
in our room and read the accounts
Of extensive snow storms that have
been raging in most parts of the
United States, to think that, situat-
ed as we are, in the extreme north
west of our country, a little fire in
the CRATE to counteract the damp
ness is all that is necessary to make
it pleasant; while without bright,
warm sun, balmy breeze from the
southwest, the grass and trees ever
green, and many flowers bloom, all
combine to make one think they
have indeed struck sunny cline
But this is no index to winter. 1t
requires only eleven minutes by the
watch for the scene to change, and
then it may snow, but it won't last
much longer than tits falling; it may
freeze little, but it would be a rar-
itY; but most likely it will rain, for
that is the principal change, and one
to which it clings with dampening
persistency at this season of the
year. If we are allowed the expires
sion, this Territory has a variegated
climate. If extremes don't meet,
they are only separated by the Cas-
cade range of mountains. A few
hours ride to the east over the same
and all the rigidity of a Maine win
ter can be enjoyed; while on the
west the more genial cline of Tex
as predominates. If there is any
truth in the theory that climate in
fiuences the character of a people,
surely Washington Territory ought
to have variety and the 'natives
and to the manner born," seem to
stand as living proof that the theory
is entitled to considerable credence.
East of the mountains they are tall,
straight, athletic, and we might say
OF perfect physique and endowed
with a goodly quantity of Cooperoa-
ian nobleness. West, along the
Sound, they are low of stature, big,
broad heads and shoulders, small
legs and pusillanimous 'Poor Lo"
oountenances. They live on fish,
which has a tendency to do away
with the idea that fish diet is con
ductive to brain power. For if the
face is any index to the mind, the In
dians of Western Washington are
certainly, in point of intelligence,
not much above the CLANS they dig
Or the oysters they gather.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.

DIR. Fishblatt addresses all those who have in
lured themselves by improper indulgcnces and sol
ltsry habits, which ruin both body and mind, un-
lifting them for either business, study, society OF
marriage.
These are some Of thesad and melancholy effects
produced by the early habits Of youth. viz. Weak
OF the heart, dyspepsia, nervous rritabity, symE-
toms of Ofeonsumption, arrangement Of the diges-
tive functions, sc.
MENTALLY.-The effects on the. mind are
much to be dreaded. Loss Of memory, confusion
OF ideas, depression Of spirits evil fOrboding, aver
idity, &C.. are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons OF all ages can now judge
what is the cause OF their declining health losing
their vigOr, becoming weak, pale, nervous and
emaeiated, having a singular appearance about
the eyes, cough and symptoms Of consumption.
