Mr. Briggs, in whose shop tie con- « More than that from that very twen- ou*. burst of interest, and, in some cases, f indignation, is the publication of a pamphlet professing to. emimate from one of the American PaHy,denouncing our Church government, stigmatizing it as a hierarchy only second to that of Rome iu its dangerous power, instigat ing that party, after it has made au end of Romanism, to try its hand on me- thodism, and exhorting all true Ameri cans to come out cf the anti-republican Church. All this sounds very mueh like the stereotyped rant of those bigots who, feeling that Methodism hinders the outspread of their several sects, rave in this way in the hope of unsettling its foundations. There is nothing ori ginal here—it is only the old alarm, is suing from a new throat. Let him howl himself hoarse—the storms which shake .the branches serve to strengthen the roots- We have heard thunder be fore, yet we survive. The author and the origin of the pamphlet are, we believe, unknown; but our opinion is, that it has a false hood on its very front. We take it to be a wolf in an ass’ skin. It looks so much like a political trick, that it looks suspicious. Suppose an enemy of the Know-Nothings wished to excite the in dignation of a large and influential body of true Americans against that party, and thus to paralyze its growing power,—what happier scheme could he hit upon, than to make the Methodists believe that after Romanism is crip pled, the party will turn its batteries against their Church ? Methodism is too string iu the affections of the very best portion of the American people to suffer such indignity at the hand of any party without resentment; and if this pamphlet did not result from the keen tactics of those hostile to the Know Nothings, its publication is one of the most stupid blunders a body of men desiring popular favor, ever perpetrated If this stuff was not written by a wily foe of the Know-Nothings, or by some sectarian bigot, seizing this hour of politico-religious crusading to strike Methodism a blow,—if, indeed, it ema nated from a Know-Nothing, he is an honor to the name—we do not say the party—and deserves at once to be exalt ed to the highest dignities of literal know-nothingism—for he is destitute of both ressen and discretion, having just sense enough to show his stupidity and gnorance. where the boys usually went swimming. Two or three hoys were already there, their black heads bobbing up out of tbe water, and their arms moving to and fro like great fins. James and Henry began to undress; and James was just ready to make his plunge when Henry buttoned up again. “Come, what does that mean ?” shouted James. “Not going in,” Henry answered. “Why not? are you afraid because Bill Patrons was drowned here?—cow ard 1” cried James. “I’m not afraid of drowning, either, said Henry, reddening with sudden anger, for boys hate to be called cow' ards. “Then why don’t you goin, I should like to know ?’* asked his companion, in no very pleasant tones. 1’ir. not going in because my mo ther told me not to without her leave,” answered Henry. “Just thought of it ?” asked James, with a sneer 'No, I have not just thought of it, but I did not think of it enough when I agreed to come with you ; now I do, and I’m not going in.” “Why, your mother will never know it,” cried all the boys together; ‘she’ll never be the wiser.’ “But I shall know that I have disobey ed her,” answered Henry, ‘and I’m not going to do a thing which makes me feel mean—so I’m off” “Tied to his mother’s apron-strings,” yelled the boys. “Glad I got a mother’s apron strings to be tied to,’’shouted back Henry, from the top of the hill; “they are the best strings in the world—the police and the prison never get such boys ;’’ and he marched bravely and joyfully home, a better and a stronger boy. Thore are two capital points in Hen ry’s conduct which I want you to notice. One is, he thought time enough before hand to obey. You may say he ought not to have consented at all. I know it; but the fact is, we are all weak and liable to be tempted, and it is only by re sistance to temptation that we grow strong. Think in time and act accord ingly, boy s. The other good thing is, Henry was not afraid of the ridicule of his companions. Knowing that, he wa.s above being laughed at, That is a INFLUENCE Ofr MARRIAGE. Habit and long life together are more necessary to happiness, and even to love, than is generally imagined No one is happy with the object of bis attachment, until he has passed many days, and, above all, many days of misfortune with her. The married pair must know eacrf 1 other to the centre of their souls—the mysterious veil which covered' tlie tw«r spouses in the primitive church; must be raised in its inmost folds, how closely soever it may be kept drawn to the re-t u of the world. What! on account of afitof caprice,or' burst of passion, am I to be exposed to* the fear of losing my wife and my chil- dren^md to renounce tlie hope of passing^ my declining days with them ? Let no’ one imagine that fear will make me be-' come a better husband. No; we do not attach ourselves to a* possession of which we are' not secure we do not love property wltlch weare in* danger of losing, The soul of a man, as w>-R as liis body,- is not complete Without bis wife; he has srength, she has beauty; he combats the' enemy and labors in tbe field, but'he understands nothing of domestic life ; his companion is waiting to prepare his re-' past and sweeten his existence. He has crosses, and the partner of his life iff 1 there to soften them: his days may be' sad and troubled, but in the chaste arms' of his wife he finds comfort and repose. Without woman, man would’be ro'de,- gross, solitary. Woman spreads arttund him the flowers of existence, as the creepers of the forest, which decorata' the trunks ol sturdy oaks with their per-' fumed garlands. Finally, the Christian pair live an d l die united, together they rear the frhits* of tbeir union ; m the dust they lay side' by sideband they are united beyond the’ tomb.

Mr. Briggs found this so interesting, that he purchased another at the periodical deport, and then he be came a ‘ regular subscriber.’ His sons soon became interested in the same doc trine, and tbe interest of the father and sons increased to the pilch indicated in the foregoing conversation. In time, every inch of that acre of ground was * brought under the spade,’ and almost every * best’ variety of fruit had a place there, and the fath er and sons found pleasure and profit in the garden after cooped up in the shop till the 4 stent’ was done, and the exer cise was far more profitable than the. spasmodic, violent exercise taken games. Mr. Chapman, the other neighbor, was a man of the ‘ common stamp.’ He looked upon everything new or uncom mon as* folly ’ and * nonsense,’ and was ready to sneer at every one who stepped aside from the common track. It look ed simply silly to him, to see a man stay at home from ‘ muster,’ or ‘ training’ or ‘ shows’ and spend his time in cultiva ting a garden; or, instead of loitering away the evening at the store, and smok ing, and hearing or telling a deal of nothing or worse, to spend the evening at home, reading such * nonsense’ as the Farmer and Horticulturist affords. ^-five dollars worth of trees and other things!

Why, thisbill amounts to thirty- seven dollars! it is not possible!’ It is just so; you have had over twenty bushels of apples, and three bushels of pears, and those alone come to twenty-five dollars.' ‘ I own up the ‘corn;’ draw the note for seventy-five.’ ‘ No, I gU6'3 we will let that twenty- five go. I only mention it to show you that there may be good sense in new things, sometimes. Now I will bet the twenty-five dollars over again, that my store-bill has not been, the past season, half as large as yours, though I have had one the more in my family.’ «If I had not been so badly taken in before, I would stand you; but I guess it wont be safe.’ * We have raised our own potatoes corn, peas, beans, and all other garden vegetables. Our eggs are always fresh and in abundance from the nest; and for more than two years, we have not been without ripe, fresh, fruits.’ ‘How can that bel’ • Well, I declare, that is something I never thought of; but it takes so much time and bothering to get these things started—then it is an everlasting job to take care of them.’ ‘•It needs no more time and money than you throw away on things that amount to nothing at all,and with abun dance of fruit, you save the expense of a heavy meat bill, which is not heal thy in hot weather. No doctor has been called to set foot into my door foi over four years past 1 Fresh, ripe fruits are sure remedies for all ailments, and they are not hard to take.” Mr. Chapman put the “fifty m*o his wweazleskin.” and left with a“flea in his car.”—New England Farmer THE IMPORTANCE OF WRIT TEN MEDICAL PRESCRIPTIONS. Some few years ago, a wellknown botanical doctor was called in to pre- s®r.oe for a man who kept for sale all kinds of dogs. The patient was a great believer in herbs and botanical produc tions, and was indeed very ill. The doctor felt his pulse, and as he was leav ing the room, said, “Oh, cheer up! Mr. Jones, I'll send you some herb medicine that will put you all right again. I want to find your wife.” To the latter, who met him on the stairs, he said, “Mrs Jones, I’ll be back here again very shortly, and meanwhile make your husband a large bowl of poppy head tea.” The wife of the sick man was a Ger man woman, and didn’t exactly under stand what was ordered. In the eveh ing, when the doctor returned, he ask ed— “Well, Mrs. Jones, have you done as I ordered you to do ?” “To be sure, I have doctor.” “Well and how does it operate ?” “Operate, sir ? I can’t tell; but I’m sure Sam will kill me when he gets well.” How, kill you ?
