ENGLISH supporters of aristocracy and
monarchy are always careful 10 assert that
the prosperity of the United States is owing
not to its freedom, but to its extent and the
Eparseness of population in proportion to
the amount OF land. Russia has also an
immense country compared TO the amount of
population, but, owing TO lis mouarchical and
aristocratic feudalisu, it fails to enjoy
similar degree of prosperity. Canada has
also the two requisites of extent and sparse
ness, but it bias not The accompanying pros
perity. lift be objected that both those
countries are exposed TO the drawback of a
Geld climate, the reply is that the cold climate
of the regions about Lake Superior and the
upper Mississippi are no less prosperous
than the more favored climates.

A WRITER in the Popular Science Monthly
makes very close calculation as to the rela-
tive cost of producing gas light and electric
light. The difference is very trifing as
things stand, but the possible resources OF
gas have been fully drawn upon and, except
in burners, where recent invention has pro-
duced improvement, there appearsto be little
likelihood of reducing expenses. In cleo
tricity, on the contrary, experience and
closer study of elementary principles is sure
to lea to greater perfection and economy.

AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
lions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, If timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but efectual
cathartic is required.
