1 w’ quarrelsome neighbor.
* Wry by jane weaver.
“Please, ma’am,” said the maid servant
to Mrs. Mowbray, “the new neighbor’s ,
been quarreling * She says I throw my
slops in front of her house.”
“And are you sure } r ou don’t do it, Bid
dy?”
“Yes, ma’am. It’s her own girl docs it.
I saw her yesterday.”
“Did yon tell her so?” *
“Yes,“ma’am. But she only called me
an impudent thing, ma’am. And I won’t
stand it, ma’am. If you can’t stop it,
ma’am, I .most give warning.”
Mrs. Mowbray had often before, experi
enced her neighbor’s quarrelsome disposi
tion. She had, however, managed both to
control her own indignation, and, what was
\ more difficult, to keep down that of her
servant. But here was a crisis. Biddy’s
threat of leaving required that an effort
should be made to control Mrs. Power, for
Biddy’ wa6 not only too good iu servant to
part with unnecessarily, but had right on
her side.
So Mrs. Mowbray, t’o ring the morning,
called next door and t-.u* up her name to
the mistress of the house. At first, Mrs.
Power, thinking the visit one of an ordi
nary character, was all smiles. But when
Mrs. Mowbray approached the real purpose
of the interview, her hostess flared out into
anger. A termagant to her husband, a
tyrant to her children, and a quarrelsome
acquaintance underail circumstances, Mrs.
Power was not to be brought to reason,
even by the mild and lady-like Mrs. Mow
bray. The latter, after a space, had to re
tire before the enraged looks and opprobri
ous words of her neighbor, giving up the
field in despair.
Things went on worse after this inter
view. It seems to afford Mrs. Power pe
culiar delight to invent annoyances for her
neighbor. In a score of ways, the pa
tience of Mrs. Mowbray and her servant
was tried. Kitchen refuse was often found,
at morning, in Mrs. Mowbray’s garden,
evidently thrown there during the night;
and no one could be suspected except Mrs.
Power. A canary, which had escaped from
its cage, and trespassed on the premises of
the latter, was killed. At last, even the
forbearance of Mrs. Mowbray gave out,
she found, one day, that oil had been

I no one to help
can’t stand it,”
cist said Mrs. Mowbray. “I must go
*in and assist her, quarrelsome as she is.”
It was even a more melancholy house
than she had expected. The youngest of
the children was so ill as to require the
exclusive attention of one person; while
the other two needed a nurse between
them; and then there was all the !e>us -
huld work to be done besides! Mrs. Mow
bray’s heart ached. But she was a woman
if euergy, and instead of wasting time in
regrets, she put on her bonnet again, and
going out, did not return riii sh*- bad
brought a couple of the neighbors with her.
It was not an easy task, but Mrs. Mow
bray was universally respected, and she
made it a point that the neighbors should
come to oblige her, and not. Mrs. Power.
During the whole of one week, while the
lives of the children hung successively in
the balance, Mrs. Mowbray was assiduous,
with her assistants, in this neighborly duty.
During all that time, the mother, wild
with anxiety, could think ot nothing but
her little ones. But when the peril was
past, the poor creature threw herself, in an
nrattVs: ItfbWWnt'S feet;'crying,
“Oil! 1 can never thank yon enough.
To think you have done all this, after the
way I have behaved !”
As she spoke, her tears almost suffocated
nor; it seemed, indeed, as it her heart
would break.
Prom that hour, Mrs. Power became a
changed woman. Kindness had* subdued
her. ’’Go thou and do likewise.”
A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
1 would recommend ipecacuanha as a
remedy for drunkenness, taken in half
drachm doses as an emetic. Ipecacuanha
has the extraordinary property of stimula
ting the whole system, equalizing the circu
lations, promoting the various secretions,
and indeed, assisting each organ of the body
to perform its function, and restore it to its
normal state. Ipecacuanha can be taken
with perfect safety as an emetic; on that ac
count it is preferable to tartar emetic. I
believe the administration of half a drachm
j|fc||mecacuanha, as an emetic, to be a cure
fttajcdical drunkenness, it is observed
*** ‘ Bite intervals between the periods of
ith. C f 't m- persm: is quite sober, and
. i i ’ 1 ’ two. three or bur
jjf,. jj£'i time. When the
PfL ‘ievi'e *'>r iti : ';
holic stimulus is so strong as to render the
sufferer subject to no control, and, from the
sensation ot depression and sinking, he can
look upon alcoholic stimulants as his only j
remedy. When a person is in this state, it
will be always found that hi* stomach is iu
fault, and the unnatural appetite arise from
that cause alone; if half a drachm of the
powder of ipecacuanha he taken so as to
produce- full vomiting, the desire for intoxi
cating stimulus is immediately removed.
From the experience 1 have had ol the
effects of ipecacuanha, I am of opinion, if a
patient can be persuaded to follow up the
emetic plan for a few tlm&s.when ihe period
ical attack comes on, that he will be effect
ually cured, and the habit (for such I look
upon it) will be broken. — London- Lancet.
SWINGING FESTIVALS IN .INDIA.
A Calcutta correspondent of the London
Times, Mr. James Holmes, writes to that
paper as follows : “The bloody rites of the
Churruch Poojali, or swinging festivals,
which take place annually, and at this time
of the year, in honor of the god Shiva, are at
present being celebrated in India; and the
cruelties then inflicted are voluntarily sub
mitted to on the part of the individuals who
undergo them. Asa ceremony of this kind
was to take place on the 11th of April, in
the Circular-road, which is distant from Cal
cutta about two miles, some other gentle
men and I who were desirous to see it, drove
in that direction, and the whole line of road
leading to the place was Crowded with na
tives of every caste and shade of color,
wending their way thither to see the degra
ding spectacle, and dressed up in the most
gaudy and fantastic manner possible. Great
numbers of the women and children had
large brass rings, about four inches in diam
eter, through their noses, also rings round
their ancles, by way of ornament.
“The spot where the tragic scenes were
to be enacted was a large square, surround
ed with houses, and on the tops of which
were seated crowds of Indians of every age,
and all more or less excited with an intoxi
cating compound called ‘bhang.’ In the
centre of this square was erected a long pole
sixty feet high; at the top of this was anoth
er about forty feet long, placed at right an
gles to the former, working in a socket in
the centre, and capable of being whirled
round ; and to each end was a rope. Hav
ing waited for ten minutes or so, the infatu
ated native who was to be swung came in,
amid the beating ot Inffan drums and the
shouts of the people. The man had a wild
expression of countenance, with his eyes
glaring, being under the influence of bhang,
of which he had consumed great quantities
during the three previous days to deaden
the pain. This unfortunate native had two
large iron hooks (not unlike those used by
butchers at home for hanging up meat)
thrust through his back, three inches apart,
and making a wound four inches in length,
from which the blood streamed down. This
being done the men tied the rope which was
fixed to one of the ends of the horizontal pole
to the two hooks in his back, and likewise
passed it through a cloth, which was tied
slackly round his breast to prevent him fall
ing to the ground should the flesh give way,
which it sometimes does. They then pulled
down the other end of the pole, which of
course raised the one with the man alqng
with it. and then ran round at great speed
for the space of a quarter of an hour Ail
this time the poor man was suspended in
the air by the hooks in his hack, and whirl
ing round 50 feet from the ground; and fr- in
the manner in which he kicked about his
legs he appeared to be suffering great ago
ny. When he was let down, and the hooks
taken out of his back, he was mere dead
than alive, and the laceration caused by
them was frightful. Men who undergo the
swinging seldom survive it. While Parlia
ment are engaged in making inquiry in re
ference to the torture employed by the Gov
ernment officials in the Presidency of Mad
ras, for the purpose of collecting the reven
ue from the natives, I think they would do
weli to devise some plan by which they
could totally abolish the practice I have been
endeavoring to describe, and which could
be more easily done now than in previous
years. The middle and higher classes of
the natives, I understand from good author
ity, do not approve it as they did formerly;
it is only the lowest class of the natives that
take part in the ceremony.”
BEAUTIFUL OLD AGE.
In Mrs. Sigourney’s new book, “Past
Meridian,” the following charming picture
of virtuous old age occurs. God grant that
such pictures may not be few and far. be

ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR PAPERS.
No subscriber worth retaining, will ob

who wanted to hear Jenny Lind sing, had
to pay in advance; and what were her di

take your seat in a rickety mail-coach, or
fly-from-the-track railroad car, without pay

EVIL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.
The evil effects of an intemperate use of
ardent spirits have been so frequently por
trayed, anefthe imminent danger in “jury
ing long at the wine” has been so oftenqwe
sented to the world, that it is difficult tpde
cide what more to say upon the subject. —
The magnitude of the soul-destroying evil,
Intemperance, is however too great-Woo
alarmingly great to admit of entire silmce
on the part of those who would, if pos&le,
throw a barrier in the pathway of that tell
destroyer. No one but a perfect misan
thrope can see bis fellow-man tottering jp
on the verge of a drunkard’s grave, or reel
ing in the drunkard’s path, without wishing
that the course of that unfortunate
might be changed, and be be enabled t&ro
lease himsejf from the thraldom of that dan
gerous appetite which is sinking him far, far
below the position which he might, and
which he ought to occupy. But what is to
be done! the tempter stands in his way,
and the syren song is luring him on till he
heeds not the warning voice that would
gladly turn his footsteps from the awful
abyss towards which he is hastening.
lie deceives himself with the reflection
that he is safe even when the lowering
clouds are ready to burst with awful retri
bution upon his head. He never intends to
“go to extremes,” as he has seen others do.
Ah, no ! he flatters himself that he is as yet
only a temperate drinker, and such he ever
intends to remain. Others, he admits, go
too far, but they have not the self-control
which he possesses. And thus he reasons
with himself, firmly believing that he is one
of a favored few, who can successfully re
sist the cravings of that unnatural appetite
.which has sunk so many valuable souls
down to regions of endless despair. The
Divine edict—“No drunkard shall enter the
kingdom of Heaven”—excites not a fear in
his mind. He cannot believe it intended
for him. He drinks simply because his
health requires it. He pleads a weakness
that requires the aid of a stimulus to ward
off disease. O, mistaken plea! O, fatal
error! What! has an Omniscient Maker
created man so imperfect that he requires a
virulent poison, a soul-destroying agent to
enable his physical system to perform its ap
propriate functions? Has he given to man
an immortal soul, and clothed that spark of
immortality with a body whose existence is
dependent upon the raging fires of alcohol ?
Turn to the experience of man and read in
that the falsity of such a supposition. Com
pare, for instance, the average years of the
strictly temperate physicians who, a quarter
of a century since, were residing in the
cinity of Natchez, with the years of thore
who trusted to the supposed health-preserv
ing properties of alcoholic drinks, and what
a fearful contrast do we find ! The average
duration of life with the former was sixty
three years, while that of the latter hardly
reached half that number ! Who, in view
of facts like this, can plead the salutary in
fluences of ardent spirits upon the human
system? Other facts, equally startling,
might be adduced, but why multiply proofs
of that which is as evident as an axiom ?
We have 100 often seen haggard forms tot
tering under the tyrannic sway of old king
Alcohol, to suppose he entertains any friend
ly regard for his subjects. His rule is en
tirely at enmity with the happiness of his
devotees, but he lures them to his arms, and
like the deadly Apega, folds them writhing
and heldless in his tortuous embrace. Help
less, should I say ? No! Wecannot force
his despotism upon unwilling subjects. Al
legiance to his power must be voluntary.—
Strip him of his deceitful charms, trample
his false colors to the dust, and who would
not shun the revolting spectacle that he
would present!
Rise. then, to the rescue. Come one,
come all. Bind the relentless monster that
Is stalking with giant strides over our fair
land. Ilis'footsteps are marked with the
bloojjl of fathers, husbands, brothers, and
friends. His pestilential breath is freighted
with deadly poison. Disease, want, igno
rance and shame are the fruits of his mis
sion, and yet, strange to tell, he is fondled
and embraced by the very victims upon
whose vitals he is feeding his insatiable ap
petite.
Rise then ! oppose his onward march !
stay him in his deadly career! —save us
from the blighting, withering course of this
horrid monster, and thus preserve health to
our bodies, happiness to our homes, and
honor to our names.— True Witness.
THE RING OP POLYCRATES.
Classical history tells us of Polycratas,
King of Samos, celebrated for his uninter
rupted good fortune. When Amasis, King
of Egypt, advised him to chequer his con
tinu-.l prosperity by relinquishing some of
his favorite objects, Polycrates complied
and threw into the sea a seal ring, thq most
valuable of his jewels; but a few days after
he received the present of a fish, in whose
belly the jewel was again found ! A vine
dresser of Albano, near rerne, is jsaid f 0
have found this ring in a vineyard. This
treasure, which Schiller has fully described
ill his ballad, was brought to Rome upon
the death of its owner, 522 years before
Christ, and was seen and mentioned by
Pliny. The Emperor Augustus placed it in
a golden case, and deposited it for safety in
the Temple of Concord. The stone of *ths
ring is of considerable size and oblong in
form. The engraving on it, by Theodor©
of Samos, the son of’ Talikles, is of extraor
dinary fineness and beauty. Jt/epresents a
lyre with three bees flying about; below,
ort the right, a dolphin; on the left, the head
of a bull. The name ofthe engraver is in
scribed in Greek characters. The upper
surface of the stone is slightly concave, not i
highly polished, and one corner brnkeh. It
is asserted that the possessor ■>l tins ring h i*

Y\T E have just published the above named Book,
VY and it is now ready fqr the trade. We quote
a few commendations below:
From Rev. Dr. Belcher, of Philadelphia .
“I thank you for au opportunity to exa nine your
valuable manuscript, and for the talent and care
shown in its preparation While entirely different
from anything yet published, it present* fact# and
principles which th* members pi pur churches need to
understand, and which would tend to increase their
piety and usefulness, May nmple success fpllotf yqtjr
labor*.”
From Rev. Dr. Doudlng, of Philadelphia-,
“Asa book for popular reading and reference, l
think it would be very valuable, and meet with a
ready sale. The Catena Baptistmrum (as it may be
called) or connected chain of Baptists, from John the
Biptist, down to the British and American Baptists,
is well done, as complete as the proposed brevity of
the book would admit, and will be prized by the inane
of our Baptist people, who have not access to the vo
luminous authorities which Bave been consulted. The
book, when published, by its comprehensiveness of
plan and compactness of execution, will be an admi
rable specimen of a Baptist “multanrin parvo.”*
From Rev. M. O. Clarke, of Phihtdelphia,
“It fills an important plaoe, for which we have no
other book: The style is clear, the spirit is kind, the
reasoning careful, aud the argument conclusive. We
need-it as a manual of Baptist polity and history.
Baptists hT e dope a great and good work already,
and have 8 greftter and qore glqrioqs one in the fu r
ture and our ohurohee need tp be instructed both ip
the principles of their faith and in the greatness pf
their achievements. lam persuaded that this book
will render important aid.”
From Res. Joseph Railcard, of New York.
“Your history of the Baptists is an interesting and
eminently useful work, just such an one as every min
’ siter and every intelligent Christian ought to have in
his library. It presents, in a condensed form, the re
sults of extended research, with reference to the ori
gin, the liiatory, the persecutions, the polity, and the
jyesent condition of our denomination, in a manner
which make# a reference to any of tl)e*e subjects per
fectly ea#y. I should rejoice to learn of its wide cir
culation.”

Missionary Wanted!
rp HE REHOBOTH FOREION MISSION COM-
I MJTT.EE, desires to procure a brother and hie
companion, who will go ©u the Mission to Central Af
rica, to fill the place ocomded by the Itrte Brother
Dennard and his wife, arul make our report nt the next
session of the Rehoboth Association.
Brother Dennard and hie wife, were eent out and
supported by this body; and now that they arc no
more, we desire to find others who will fill their pla
ces, and carry forward thi? work. Our plan is topro
vide well for our missionaries while laboring, and for
their return Mt the end of three or four years, to im
prove their health, and to foster a missionary spirit in
the Churches.
The one hundred millions and more, of Africa, must
have the Gospel. They are included in the number
of those to whom the Sivior said, “Go preach the
Gospel” The field of labor in Central Africa is a
promising one. The Kings in the interior detire mis
sionaries, and offer them every inducement to settle
among them. ‘Then “the word of God is not bound.”
The climate in the interior, is not so unhealthy as
has been generally supposed ; and missionaries may
go there with the prospect of or unary length of life.
Besides this, the people, unlike those on the eoast, are
partly civilised, and have k/i# of tljc copimou comforts
of life.
But were the climate ever so vtt-alubrjous, t.he foun
dations for ovjr missionary Qpperatious most be laid,
and the supporting of this stupendous budding—this
temple, wdueh we intend to erreet, to the name of the
Most High —must be erected by the labor of our white
brethren. The language must be reduced to waiting,
dictionaries must be made, grammars constructed, and
a plan of general operations fixed, before we can dis
pense with their aid. When this ia accomplished, then
it may be practicable to carry forward the work by
the labor of colored men, who are better fitted by na
ture to Southern climates. But cost what it may, it
must be done! Africa is apart of the world , and these
sable sons, are a part of her “early creation.”
Let our young men and maidens, who have given
themselves to God, in solemn covenant, and are anxious
to do something for the Savior, ask themselves, wheth
er this be not the field in which God will have them
work—let them hear the voice of their Lord while he
says “Go work to-day in my vineyard.” The morning
of-youth will soon pass, and the night will come.”—
“Go work to-day in my vineyard.”
TJje Committee will take occasion in this communi;
cation also to call the attention of the Rehobqth Asso
ciation tp the propriety, gs epeeting suitable Grave
stones, over the remains of our fallen Missionaries. Let
all the ohurehee, individuals, or friends, who favor this
object, send up their contributions to the neat meeting
of our body at Perry. We prayed for and sustained
our beloved Dennard aud wife, while they lived ; we
cherish their memory now that they are no more, and
we will erect some monumental stones, to tell their
names, their virtues, and their work.

JUI.ES HAUEL, Bh|., the veil known perfumer, of Chmrtuui
street, Philadelphia, whose choice products arc found at alnuxt
every toilet says :
“lam faayj.y to say of your CATHARTIC PILLS, that I have
found them h better family medicine for common use, than any
other within my knowledge. Many of my friend* have realised
marked benefits from them and coincide with me In believing that
they possess extraordinary virtue? for driving out diseases and
curing the sick. They are not only effectual, but safe and pleas
ant to he taken, qualities which must msle them valued by the
public, when they are known.”
The venerable Chancellor WAItDLAiV, writer from Ualtlnvore,
15th April, 1564:
“Dr. James 0. Ayer—Sir : I have taken yoGr Pills with great
benefit, for tie- lisllessDess,'langour, loss of appetite, and BtlUoua
headache, which has of late years overtaken me in tl Spring.
A few doses o’ your Pills cured me. I have used your Cherry
Pectoral many years in my family fbr coughs and colds will* un
failiug success.’ You make medicines which eras, and 1 feel it a
pleasure to commend you for the good you have done and axe
doing.”
JOHN F. BEATTY, Esq. Sec. of the Penn. Railroad Cos., says :
*‘/V. 11 1!. Office, ThiladdpMtt, Dff. lt>, ISSB.
Sir : I take pleasure in adding my testimony to the effiescy of
your medicine, having derived very material benefit fropi the use
of both your Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. I aiu never without
them in my family,.nor shall t ever consent to bo, while my means
will procure them.”
The widely renowned 8. S. STEVENS. M, D., of Wentworth, N.
H., writes:
“Having used your CATHARTIC PILLS in my practice, 1 certi
fy from experience, that they are an invaluable purgative. In
ease of disordered functions of the liver, causing beoUache, indi
gestion, costlveuess, and the great variety of discasex that follow,
they are a surer remedy than any other. In all cases where a
purgative “remedy i, required,* confidently recommend these Pills ■
to the public, as superior to any other that I have ever found.
They are sure in their operation, and perfectly sale, qualities
which make them an invaluable article for public use. I have for
many years known your CHERRY PECTORAL as the best Cough
medicine in the world, and these Pills are iu no wise inferior to
that admirable preparation for the treatmentof diseases.”
“Acton, Me., Koe. 28,1858.
“Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear fir: I have been afflicted from my birth
with scrofula in its worst form, and now, after twenty years’ trial,
and an uutold of amount of suffering, have been completely cured
in a few weeks by your Pills. With what feelings of rejoicing 1
write, can only be imagined when you realise what I have suffer
ed. and how long. Never until now have 1 been free from this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times, it attacked my eyes,
and made me almost b.ind, besides the unendurable pain; at oth
ers it settled in the scalp of my head, and destroyed my hair,
and has kept me partly bald all my days; sometimes it cam- ut
in my face, and kept it for months a raw sore. About nine weeks
ago, I commenced taking your Cathartic Pills, and now am entire
ly free from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skiu is fair,
and my hair has commenced a healthy growth, all of which makes
me feel already anew person.
“Hoping tills statement may be the means of conveying infor
mation that shall do good to others, 1 am, with every sentiment
of grat.tude, Yours, Ac. MARIA RICKER.”
“I have known the above named Maria Ricker from her child

The great and important event*—Religious, Political,’ and Mili
tary—now agitating the nations of the Old World, gtve to these
Publications an interest and value they never before possessed.—
They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news
items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the newspapers,
and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after the
living interest in the facts he records shall have passed away.—
The progress of the war in the East occupies a large space iu their
page*. Every movement is closely criticised, whether ad friend or
foe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Ckimra and from the Baltic, iu Blackwood's Magazine, from
two of its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and
reliable account of the great belligerents than ean elsewhere be
found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politics] parties
of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—but politics forma
only one feature of their oharaeter. As Organs of the most pro
found writers on Science, Literature, Morality, Slid Religion, they
stand, as they have ever stood, unrivalled iu the world of letters,
being considered indispensable to the scholar sod the professional
man, while to the intelligent reader of every class, they furnish a
more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of
the day, throughout the world, than can he possibly obtained from
any other source.
early copies.
The receipt of ADVANCE SHEETS from the British publishers,
gives additional value to these Re-prints; especially during the
present exciting state of European affairs, inasmuch as they can
now be placed in the hands of tubscribers about as soon as the
original editions.
