ST. NICHOLAS FOR SEPTEMBER.-The
September number of st. Nicholas contains
a variety of very pleasant and interesting
contributions along with the usual fine
array of pictures. OF descriptive articles,
the number has a full installment, bringing
together for us in one article collection of
birds whose plumage is entirely white; Civ
ing us in another an account of Some
Queer Dishes" which are served in Orien-
tai countries; and in still third, as COM
panion sketch, a description and picture of
peculiar Mesopotamian boat or "Goof-
fab" which will open the children's eyes
in wonder. There is also full budget of
stories; also suggestive story of a railway
journey, charming biography of very
"Short- lived Family" and an amusing col
loquy between dog and deer. The serial
stories grow in interest and excitement as
they approach their conclusions. Finally,
Jack-in-the-P Pulpit" the "Letter- Box, !"
and " Riddle Box" close the number, as
usual, with their eight Or ten pages of in
formation and amusement.

tB Cooley for September is splendid
number. The Highland Keepers Daugh-
ter, the frontispiece steel engraving, is a
sweet picture as will be met with in twelve

displayed the subdued tints of early Au-
tumn mingling with the brighter hues of
Summer. The several departments of the
Book which have so long made it a favorite
in the household, are always we'll sustained
Cooley still continues to give premium chro-
mos to Subscribers, and his chromos are
not daubs as so many chrome premiums
given with publications are, but finely exc
cuted pictures, fit ornaments for pa-',r or

THE PAINTERS REVENGE.

Rothschild asked Horace Vernet to paint
his portrait. Vernet did so, and, after the
work was done, 1900 francs were rendered
him in payment. This, to his notion, tax
ing into consideration his own reputation
and means, and the fabulous wealth of the
sitter, was ridiculous sum-so small,
indeed, as to enrage him to the last degree.
Sending back the money, he asked that
the portrait be returned. "Tell your mas
ter that l will paint him portrait that
will make him immortal" The portrait
was returned, and when Vernet's next
great battle scene appeared, it was seen
how we'll he had kept his promise. In the
background were struggling groups of men
and horses, half hidden by smoke and dust;
on the ground lay dead and dying, wounded,
trodden under foot, broken muskets, and
all the other Accomplishments of a hard
fought battle.
In the immediate foreground, with mean,
disordered garments, disheveled hair and
panic-stricken countenanee, was an old
of conflict toward the observer, and tightly
grasping money bag under each arm.
The countenance was that of Baron Roths-
child, and an excellent likeness. All rec
ognized the resemblance; all remembered
how the Baron had profited by Frances
misfortune (speculating on the news of the
battle of Waterloo, which he had in adj
vance of The Times and of the govern
ment), and the revenge was complete
Rothschild applied to the French Govern
ment to have the thing righted, but the
Assembly declined to "have any govern
ment picture defaced," and to-day in the
royal galley at Paris the old man still hur-
ries away from the vicinity Of cold steel
and hot lead, and the eager guide relates
to amused visitors the story of Baron
Rothschild and the battle of Waterloo.
The picture is in gallery at Versailles,
Rothschild is painted as a desperate fugi-
tive. The picture represents French
victory in Algiers.

PROHIBITION AND MORAL SUASION.

There seems to be an honest difference of
! opinion among the friends of temperance
as to the best mode of advancing the cause.
The Maryland Temperance Alliance hold
the church to be divinely appointed head
and leader of temperance reform, and re-
solved at their annual meeting, held in
| Baltimore, on the 4th of June last, to in
crease their efforts to obtain prohibitory
law for each county in the State; while the
Good Templars at Chesapeake City declar-
ed moral suasion to be the best means that
Christian men and women could use to pro-
mote temperance reform. Now let us ex-
anime these plans: The efforts which are
being made by the Alliance to mix church
and political affairs, to obtain power, is a
dangerous movement, and should be care
fully guarded against by every Christian
| patriot, as it has tendency to contaminate
the church and weaken our Republican in
situations, and would, if persisted in, prove
destructive to civil and religious liberty
All Christians admit that the church is
designed to teach morals and as temper
ance is moral subject of course it should
be taught by the church.
But on what ground is the church held
to be appointed leader in political affairs
and use force to accomplish an object? 1t
is not to be found in the teaching of Him
whom Christians profess to follow He
used moral suasion altogether, forbade
force, and warned his disciples not to in
terfere with the kingdoms of the world.
The use of compulsory means to advance
a moral cause seems to be inconsistent with
the design of the Creator. Man was Gre
ated free moral agent, and endowed with
the right to choose for himself; prohibition
is an attempt to reduce him to a mere ma
chine, and no such law can be sustained
under our form of government. 1t has
been tried in several of the States and re-
pealed in four or five within the last six
months, partly on account of its corrupt
ing influence i'll opening door to bribery
and other high crimes, such as spring from
party strife.
Our Grand Jury law will probably share
the same fate, for 1T does not altogether
meet the views of temperance men, neither
is it satisfactory to large number of those
engaged in the liquor trade, and there is
no party capital in it, for it has weakened
the party that enacted it. In fact prohibi-
ton has proven sort of weakness wherever
tried, because it is not in accordance with the
teachings of the gospel nor the principles
Of free government, while moral suasion
with the other; and hence, if persisted in,
would hasten reform.
Let the friends of temperance consider
this subject at the Wood Lawn meeting,
and cease to waste their energies on
measure clearly untenable. MS.

A Suggestion.-In our evening peram-
bulations out to the "far creek" the fash
ionable promenade of the Elkton ton, we
have often thought it would be an econom-
ical improvement if the Town Commission
ers would have that long, shallow ditch on
the north side of the street filled up level
with good rich soil, and allow the grass to
form a nice sod on it. The ditch never
did, and never will, carry any water ex,
cept what falls in it from the clouds, and
it costs two or three dollars every year to
clean it out, which had better be saved to
the town, while the street would be con.
.siderably improved. The street in that
quarter is as level as a board, and having a
porous, sandy subsoil, the water that falls
upon it soon sinks away. The ditch is a
positive injury aud should be filled up.

Wood Lawn Temperance Meeting.-In
our brief notice of the great temperance
demonstration, which is advertised to be
held at Wood Lawn Camp, on Thursday
next, Goth instant, we inadvertently stated
the 29th as the date of the meeting. Great
efforts are being made by those who have
the preparation for the meeting in charge
to have grand demonstration in favor of
temperance, and the wishes of the friends
will doubtless be realized if the rainy
weather does not interfere with the meet
ing. Good speakers will undoubtedly be
present and instructive as we'll as otherwise
interesting speeches may be expected.

POISONED TO DEATH.

a healthy liver secretes each day about two
and n half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, ii fails to eliminate this vast amount OF
nOXious substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood and be conveyed to every part
of the system. What must be the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and Il half pounds of poison?
Nature tries to work OF this poison through
other channels and organs--the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc; but these organs become oyertaXed
in performing this labor, in addition to their
natural functions. and cannot long withstand
the pressure, but become yafiouSly diseased.

itself being diseased, as ii forms the sweat upon
the surface OF the skin, is so irritating and
poisonous that it produces discolored brown
spots, pimples blotches and other ecuptions,
sores, boils, carbunc!es and scrofulous tumors.
