GULLIBILITY.

The wild phantOms and shrieking cries of n
worthless humbug can make money by impos-
ing upon the credulity and ignorance OF an
honest public, and the supply of this species of
work seems more than an adequate demand.
The enunciation of iacts-iacts that have stood
crucial tests-iacts proven by brain force and
tangible evidence should satisfy all laudable
enterprises but the execrable practice of teach
ing false ideas and doctrines of selEaggrandize-
ment is truly reprehensible and should be
scorned By all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide of Pot
ash is q poison simply because their opponents
use it, and because they are panderng TO your
ignorance, as they suppose, you should look up
on all such as arrant frauds and their remedies
as unworthy of public confidence and if those
who make such assertions do not know better,
they are a set of unenyiable iguoramuses.

RINGWOOD MANsE. A Pastoral Poem


By +. P Miller, of Washington, d. C.
Many of our older citizens will recognize
the name of the author of this delicate lit
tie poem as a former companion, and mem
Der, by marriage, OF one of our best known
families. He tells in genial poesy of the
old home of the late DIR. Thos. B. Balch, in
Fauquier County, Virginia, and dedicates
the verses to Miss Julia Ringwood Balch,
the youngest daughter of DIR, B., and one of
the lovely family who
-" through fields of scented clover.
Tripped their way to Auburn school"
It's the simple record, in pleasant, unaf-
fected style, of the inmates of this home and
their surroundings, portraying the sunshine
and shadow Of the quiet life of the country
pastor, and later the sad changes wrought
by the fury of civil war and the ravages OF
time. Evidently the author, as a warm
loving friend participated in the feelings of
JOY and sorrow which he so pathetically and
in such charming measures embodes in this
pretty volume.
We append a newspaper notice or two:
From the Atantq Constitution.
A valuable addition to the literature of the
day has been made in the exquisite poem by
K. F. Miller, of Washington, d. c., entitled
Bngwood Manse.' The story is a pastoral
of life in the old Virginia homestead, and is
told IN beautiful measure and well-rounded
verse. The work is taStefully bound and should
ind place in the Libraries of all lovers of po-
etry.
From The Washington Republican.
We have read with pleasure this sweet. sooth-
ing and thoughtful little volume IL recalls
Charmingly the freedom and delightful sim
plicity OF early life in rural scores, and the
heart associations of kindred and friends Tho
melancholy is often mingled with the JOY;
tho clouds steal over the blue sky; the must
cally whispering trees sometimes moan in sor-
row; the delicate flowers suddenly perish at
het0uch of winter still the souls gloom con-
tnueS not long but only serves finally to
ch2Sten happiness and permeate it with Il ten
detneSs before unknown. The poem in style
IS harmonious with its subject-direct, unaf-
tected, clear and cheering Us sunshine. From
a true mind, il is true; from a fond heart, il is
loving. We are glad TO know the poet is a
fellow-citizen of Washington.
