The Teacher

Whe advised her pupils to strengthen

their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- | Ssaparilla, appreciated the truth that | bodily health is essential to mental | Vigor. For persons of delicate and feeble ' coustitution, whether young or old, this medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be | sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

“Every spring and fall I take a num- ber of bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and

}

; am greatly benefited.’’— Mrs. James H.

Eastman, Stoneham, Mass.

“I have taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with great benefit to my general health.” — Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md.

“My daughter, twelve years of age has suffered for the past year from —

General Debility..

A few weeks since, we began to give her Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Her health has greatly improved.”’— Mrs, Harriet H. attles, South Chelmsford, Mass, “About @ year ago I began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility and neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure in the army. I was ina very bad condition, but six bottles of the Sar- saparilia, with occasional doses of Ayer’s Pills, have greatly improved my health. I am now able to work, and feel that I caRnot say too much for your excellent yemedies."—F. A. Pinkham, South

Gleanings From My Common-place Books.

PUBLIC DINNERS AT ATHENS.

The public dinners at the Prytaneium, of which the archons and a select few par- took in common, were either first estab- lished, or perhaps only more strictly regu- lated, by Solon: he ordered barley-cakes for their ordinary meals, and wheaten loaves for festival-days, prescribing how often each person should dine at the tal l-. The honor of dining at the Prytaneium was maintained throughout as a valuable re- ward at the disposal of the Government. — Grote’s History of Greece.

‘* THE IPHICRATIDES ” LEGGINGS.

Mr. Grote describes a species of leggings which the Athenian Iphicrates devised for his soldiers; and, in his foudness for par- allel, the historian observes: *‘ The name Iphicratides, given to those new-fashioned leggings or boots, proves to us that Wel- lington and Blucher are not the first emi- nent generals who have lent an honorable denomination to boots and shoes.

THE HELOTS AND DRUNKENNESS.

The service in the Spartan house was all performed by Helots, the treatment of whom at Sparta betokens less of cruelty than of ostentatious scorn. Such is proved by the statement that Helots were com- pelled to appear in a state of drunkenness, in order to excite in the Spartan youths a

LOVE OF TRUTH.

Herodotus tells us of the ancient Per sians, that *‘frum the age of tive years to twenty they instruct their sons in only three things : to manage the house, to make use of the bow, and to speak truth.”

TRUTH IN A PIT.

Cleanthes said that *‘truth was hid in a pit.” *‘* Yes,” answers the poet, ‘* but you Greek philosophers were the first that put her there, and then claimed so much merit to yourselves for drawing her out.”

‘* GONE TO JERICHO.”

In the Patent Rolls of the Manor of Blackmore, near Colchester, occurs (18th February, 20 Hen. VIII., 1528-9) an entry of a tenement called Jericho, reported to have been one of the king’s pleasure-houses. Hence, when the luxurious monarch was missing, the cant phrase among the cour- tiers was that ** he was gone to Jericho.” — See Camden Miscellany, Vol. 3.

‘“ a ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.”

‘* Froissard, a countryman of ours records, England all Olivers and Rowlands bred During the time Edward the Third did

reign.” —Shakspeare’s King Henry VI.

Oliver and Roland were two of the most famous in the list of Charlemagne’s twelve peers; and their exploits are the theme of the old romances. From the equally doughty and unheard-of exploits of these champions arose the saying of Giving a Roland for an Oliver, for giving a person as good as he brings. GASCONADES,

The inhabitants of the province of Gas- cony, in France, have long been celebrated for their lively sallies, called Gasconades (in French, Gasconnades), the point of which consists in immoderate boasting of wit, wealth or valor. The Dictionary of the French Academy, as an_ illustration, gives: He says he would fight ten men. Bat wit and piquancy should be intermixed with self-exaltation, as in the following: A Gascon, in proof of his nobility, asserted that in his father’s castle they used no other firewood but the batons of the differ- ent marshals of France of his family.

FAME CONTEMNEE,

All men are fond of glory, and even those philosophers who write against that noble passion prefix their names’ to their own works, Itis worthy of observation that the authors of two ,eligivus books, universally received, have concealed their names frcm the world. The ‘* Imitation of Christ ” is attributed, without auy author- ity, to Thomas A’Kempis; and the author of the ‘* Whole duty of Man” still remaius undiscovered. Millions of their books have been dispersed in the Christian world. To have revealed their names, would have given ‘them as much worldly fame as any moralist has obtained—but they contemn- edit! Their religion was raised above all worldly passions! Some profane writers, iudeed, have also concealed their names tu great works, but their motives were of a very different cast.—Isaac D’ Israeli.

ORIGIN OF NEWSPAPERS.

We are indebted to the Italians for the idea of newspapers. The title of their yazettas was perhaps derived from gazzera, & magpie or chatterer ; or more probably from a farthing coin, peculiar to the city of Venice, callad gazetta, which was the com- mon price of the newspapers. Another etymoloyist is deriving it from the Latin gaza, which would colloquinally lengthen into gazetta, and signify a little treasury of news. The Spanish derive it from the Latin gaza, and likewise the gazatero and our gazetteer, for a writer of the gazetta, and, what is peculiar to themselves, gazetista, for a lover of the gazette. Newspapers then took their birth in that

principal land of modern politicians, Maly, and under the government of that aristo-! cratic republic Venice. The first paper was! a Venetian one, and only monthly ;) but it was merely the newspaper oi the} Government. Other governments after- | wards adopted the Venetian plan of a news-| paper, with the Venetian name; from a| sulitary gazette, an inundation of news-| papers has broken upon us.

national pride, says he, to be told that mankind are indebted to the wisdom of Queen E izabeth and the prudence of Bur- leigh for the first newspaper. The epoch of the Spanish Armada is also the epoch of a genuine newspaper. In the British Museum are several newspapers which were printed while the Spanish fleet was in the English Channel daring the year 1588. It was a wise policy to prevent, during a moment of general anxiety, the danger of false reports, by publishing real informa- tion. The earliest newspaper is eutitled, ‘*The Enylish Mercurie,” which by author- ity, ** was imprinted at London by His Highnesses printer, 1588.” T. H. A.

Scott Act Presecutions. Srr,—I have read a communicition in the last issue of the Patriot signed ** Sit Lux,” referring to me persunally as Public Prosecutor of King’s Co., making some erronevus statemeats which I shali here flatly deny. He said that | received large sums of money out of the public treasury for which I did not labor, for two years or more. What are the facts, Mr. ** Lux?” It is only 20 months since ] was appointed to office, and | have returned in Scott Act tines more than two years’ salary. I will give facts and figures to those who have a per- fect right to receive them, not to such an ig- noramus as Mr. **Lux. He states that | am in the habit of notifying transgressors in and through the press and otherwise, that 1 am on my way coming to take vengeance on them. Now, I do hereby defy ‘* Mr. Lux,” or any other individual, rumseller or otherwise, to show proof when | committed such action. Come, ** Mr. Lux,” out with the proof, if you dare.

lf ** Mr. Sit Lux” was a true friend of temperance, as he pretends to be, he would endeavor to render me some aid in rooting out all these rum shanties he sees so con- spicuous in the northern latitude of King’s County. But in my candid opinion, and others also, he Jikes Mr. Barleycorn as his trusty companion.

I did not think I would bother myself replying tu any anonymous wriver on this subject, because I have tov much other business to attend to at present. But I was compelled to reply to the glaring false- hoods of ** Mr. Sit Lux,” which appeared in his last communication, so that the pub- iic would be aware in future to give no credit to any, such tissue of untruthful statements as ‘* Mr. Sit Lux” indulges in,

I wil! not take any more notice of ** Sit Lux’s” correspondence unless he throws off his black mask of disguise and comes out over his full signature.
