see how people resent the Introduction
of the Jewish element into George FL

killed Christ is the principal thing that
many excellent Christians remember
about that extraordinary race They
forget that the race also gave birth to
Christ. That Christ should he killed

In these dull times, when so many
young men are out of employ n,ent. and
others are crowding in from other places.
seeking for 40 called ''genteel !" situa.
,ions. 1t is we'll To give publicity to such
fact. IA are set forth in The following ex-
tract from the New York Journal of
Commerce:
One of the great problems of the day;
too little DISCUSSED hy those who have
the ear of the public through the press
or at the forum, is TO furnish the young
men Of this generation remuneralise
employment. The professions are all
over crowded. The shop-keepers are by
far too numerous. Agencies Of all classes
are so multiplied that the occupants
tread on each Others heels, and are a
bore and nuisance to the general public.
Clerks out of employment and willing TO
serve for pittanee are to be reckoned
by their tens of thousands. Book-keep-
ers with hungry eyes are reading the ad-
vertising list in vain hope of an opening
for their application. Collectors messen-
gers, doorkeepers, boxkeepers, watch
men, conductors, and great variety Of
others, already expert, seeking employ
ment in callings are waiting anxiously
for some one to engage them. Every
possible form of service that can be
reckoned in the list of genteel oecupa-
tions is anxiously sought for by multi
tudes who have no other provisions for
their daily need The men who have
been trying TO live by their wits must go
to work at the bench or in the field; of
these the soil offers the most accessible
and at first the most remunerative en-
ployment. The mass ofths unemployed
must seek their sustenance from the bos-
ON of mother earth. Land is cheap,
and there is wide area that awaits the
tiller. The back may ache, and the skin
blister in the sun, but the bread can be
made with no fear of failure, if the Ia
borer will be faithful to his calling. II
needs less wisdom and forethought than
patient industry, and the man of com.
mon mind may eat his harvest in peace

1t not unfrequently happens that seri
GUS and distressing results are OCCASION
ed by the accidental employment of poi
sons, and it occurred to us that we
might do service to some of our read
ers by presenting them with brief and
compendious list of the more common
poisons and the remedies for them most
likely TO be close at hand:-
Acids-These cause great heat and
sensation of burning pain from the
month down to the stomach Remedies
--Magneria, soda, pearl ash or soap, dis-
solved in water; then use stomach pump
or emeticr.
Aikalies- Bet remedy is vinegar
Ammonia Remedy Lemon Juice or
vinegar; afterward, milk and water or
faxseed tea
Alcohol-First cleanse out the stom
ach by an eme,ic; then dash cold water
On the head and give ammonia (spirits
OF hartshorn).
Arsenic Remedies in the first place
evacuate the stomach; then give the
white of eggs, lime water OF chalk and

Mr.. Lincoln, but Greene has sacredly
kept his promise.
