.! -"i"fj .-i ' ("-Tf How they live in Liberia. The liule seed of republican liberty which was years ago transplanted from the shores of the Uuited States to that of the African comment, has under the benign influence with w'lich it has been surrounded, grown into nv vigorous young, republic, and bids fair to become at soiu. future day, a' powerful and influential nation.-' The results of the enterprise of pluming have proved all that 'wits anticipated. Liberia is now the cherished home and refuge of the fugitive and outcast colored race the only free and civilized land in all the world whero colored men can fill oliice in the gift of the people, and where they are able to develop every high and noble facility of the existence. ' Liberia is not yet much of an agricultural country. Most of the settlers have fanned only upon a small scale, for the reason that very few modern labor-saving machines or improvements have been introduced there. The earth, however, is cultiuated much more cheaply and easily than in America. ; ' A tract of land is given under certain restrictions to each emigrant, and after being cleared of timber by cutting and burning, rice and cassada are hoed into' the ground. The' soil is seldom plowed, and there are no working oxen, and but. few horses in the state. When the rice is ripe it is cut with a knife. Besides rice and sassada the emigrant also raised and sell .corn, potatoes and other vegitables. Sugar cane and coffee,too, flourish remarkably well. ' . . .. ' . They are but few drones in Liberia. All who really wish for employment can find a field for their labor either as1 mechanics,' farmers, merchants or day. workmen. Upon the farms both Americans and native Africans are employed. The difference in their respective powers of usefulness may be conjectured from the fact that in ' April last the wages of. .Americans were seventy-.-'ive cents a day, and of the natives twelve and; a half cents.- There are, of course, no slaves in Liberia. Slavery is prohibited by the constitu-' tion and laws of the republic The natives, nevertheless frequently bind their children for a certain period (o the emigrants, in compensation for money loaned, or assistance rendered; . but t this is contrary to laws. The number of native Africans in the republic at the present time is about, two hundned thousand. They livt in the' old patriarchal style, moving about from place to j place, and until subdued by the Liberians the different tribes'' were constantly at war. Many of llietn are now partly civilized, and all are rapidly coming under the ' gentle influences of civilization. ;'.. . The climate of Liberia is very healthy after . the process of acclimating is over. But man)'.' of the new comers die under .the acclimating i fever. It is said by residents of the place, that '' the fever is more fatal to individuals from the southern part of the United States than it is to the Northerners.. ... '.'-.' Folly of Religious rurseeution. The very t worst mischief that can be done to religion, is to pervent it to. the purposes of faction. Heaven and hell are not more distant than the binevcv lent spirit of the Gospel and the malignant sp'nit of party. . The most impious wars ever made were those called holy- wars. He who hates' another man for not being a Christian, is him-, self not a Christian. . Toleration is the basis of public quiet; it' is a charter of freedom given to . the mind, more valuable, I 'think, than that which secures our persons and estates.' Indeed, they are inseparably connected; for. where the, conscience is enthralled, there is no-freedom. . I repeat it, persecution is as impious ,as it is cruel and unwise. It not only opposes every precept ' of, the New Testament, but it invades the prerogative of God himself.' It is a usurpation of the attributes which belong exclusively to the Most High. It is a vain endeavor to ascend unto His throne, to wield His secptre, hurl His thunder- 1 bolts. And then its history proves how useless it is. Truth is immortal; the sword cannot pierce it, tires cannot consume it, prisons cannot incarcerate it, famine cannot starve it; all the violence of men, stirred up by power and subtlety of hell cannot put it to death. " In the per- ! son of its martyrs, it bids defiance to the will of the tyrant who persecutes it, and with the mar- ' tyr's last, breath predicts its own full and. final triumph. The Pagan persecuted the Christian, but yet Christianity lives. The Roman Catholic persecuted the Protestant, but yet Protestantism ' lives. The Protestant .persecuted ' the . RrM man Catholic, but yet Catholicism lives. The Church of England persecuted Nonconformists, and yet Nonconformity lives. , Nonconformists persecuted Episcopalians, yet Episcopacy lives. . When persecution is carried to its extreme length of extirpating heretics, I truth may be exiin guished in one place but it will break out in an- , other. If opinions cannot be put down by argument, they cannot, by power. Truth gains the victory in the end, not .only by its own evidence, but by the sufferings of its confessors. Therefore, if we have a mind to establish peace among the people, we must allow men to judge freely in matters of religion; and to, embrace that opinion they think right, without any hope of temporal reward, without any fear of temporal punishment.'''. ' ." '"'': '''.'.;,.'', Live Merrily Good old Burton in his "Anatomy of Melanchojy," thus quo'tes' one,, Wercillus Ticinius: "Live merrily, 0, my friends, free from cares, perplexity, anguish, grief of i mind live merrily. Airain I request vou to be : merry. It anvthin trni.lile vntir lipnrK (ir t'H irouuit VOtir Ileal lb, Ul vti YOUr SOUlS, nelCCt and Contemn It let It paSS. And this I enjoin you,-, not as a divine alone, but a physician; for without this mirth, which is the life and quintessence of physio; medicines, and whatsoever is used and applied to prolong the life of man, it-'dull; i dead. nd -of no force." And we say with this jolly old "brick," be mef-' A Significant Truth. In a late number of the Women's Advocate, Jliss. McDowell utters the an-, nexed bold truth: "As women are more affected ' by the prevalence of immorality than men, it is ' really strange that they do not frown down those vices of men, which are so frequently fatal to their own tranquility. ' ' Many a female, who would not refuse to dine with a pronVate, would. think herself insulted were she invited to take :'i ' tea wiih a. courtezan; but the only difference be-:J twecn the two is, one wears' panlalons and the ' other pantalets the morale U the same." i

Sagacity o.the Northern Bears. On one occasion, a bear was seen to swim cautiously to a rough piece of ice, on which two female wairuses were lying asleep will) their cubs. The j wily animal crept up some hummocks behind the i parly, and with the help of his fore feet loosenj ed a large block of ice; this, with the help of his nose and paws, be rolled and carried till immediately over the heads of the sleepers, when he let it fall on one of the old animals, which was instantly killed. The other walrus, with its cubs, J lolled into (lie water; but the younger one of i the stricken' females remained in its dam; upon these helpless creatures the bear now leaped down, and thus completed the destruction of the two animals which it would not have ventured to attack openly. . . . , The stratagems practiced in taking large seals are much less to be admired." These creatures are remarkably timid, and for that reason always

lie to h-A-W or sleep on the very edire of the pieces ot nnnttn" ire so I hut nn I h,. s i.r itest. n arm . V 11 111 P 1 they can by one roll tumble themselves into their favorite element." They are exceedingly restless, constantly moving their heads from side to side, and sleeping by very short naps. As with all wild oeatures, they turn their attention to the direction ol' I.Iih wiiul. na if Yrii''tinir rljinircr r . I mm i 1 ' from that quarter. '1 he bear, on seeing his intended prey, nets quietly into the water, and 'il i i i r l i KWlms till be IS leeward Ot him, from Whence, by j frequent short dives, he silently makes his. aPi proaches, and so arranires his distance that at l l . ! i .i .1 ,l , his hist dive lie Comes Up lO the spot where the Seal is Ivill". If the tJOOr animal attempts tO esr . r. . cape by rolling into the water, he falls into the bear s clutches;, it, on the .contrary, he lies stm, his destroyer makes a powerful spring, kills him on the ice, and devours him at his leisure. f Marrying" Cousins. The New York Day Book has the following paragraph in regard to a very interesting question: - ;. Among other profound subjects discussed by the association for the advancement of science, now in session at Providence, Rhode Island, is a question whether a man may marry his cousin. borne teartul examples in the deformity ot posterity are cited to prove that such near relations should not intermarry. Instances of blindness, clubfeet,' ifec, are mentioned. ,', The Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches both ' forbid such marriages; but in the face of scientific and ecclesiastical authority we ask what will the' objectors to the m'arriage of cousins do with those cases where children, the result of such marriages, are more than usually beautiful and intelligent ? We explain the matter in this way: Children sometimes inherit their mental and physical organization from their mothers, and sometimes from their fathers.. If two cousins,1 who both inherit their constitutions from tho same side, unite in matrimony, the consequences will' and must be disastrous; but if cousins marry w ho are entirely dissimilar,' one having inherited a constitution from the father and the other from the mother, no such result will follow. It' is the uniting of similar organization, no matter 'whet her first or second cousins, that causes the injury to offspring, and not the simple fact of legal relationship. .'. The Press. The - Boston Transcript gives a very striking instance of the influence of the Press, , in ' mentioning that, a; correspondent of that paper having alluded to the lack of a perfect Bible in ; the" !A'ppledore House, : on the sle of Shoals, soon afterwards the proprietor of the house had fifty Bibles sent to him. , We recently had a similar proof of the benefits of advertising, in the prompt and generous response of the public to a brief statement' published nmmijr our items of local intelligence, of .a worthy family in need of assistance. Our paper had hardly been published, when a dozen or so of benevolent individuals, from different parts of the city,' called at the office lo tender their assistance. A very remarkable instance of the power of the Press in influencing the public mind occurred last' year about this time, when the death of two or three very prominent gentlemen was announced, and the cause of their dealh was attributed to oysters. The lu xt day scarcely an oyster was sold in the whole city, and the oystermen would not have recovered from the paralysis which their business had suddenly experienced, if Uiey had not resorted to the same means of cure which had occasioned their: hurt. They procured a certificate from some respectable physicians to the effect that oysters were not unwholesome, and the day after it was published oyster eating was again resumed, '. and the trade in bivalves went on again as usual without interruption. X. Y. Times. . . .... . . ii .. Nutriment in the Apple With us, savs the editor of the 'Albumi Journal, the value of the apple, as an article of food, is fur underrated. Besides containing- sulfur, mucilage and other nulnment matter, apples contain vegetable acid: aromatic qualities, dec, which hcI powerfully in i',.- .c . , c . j. . ! i " I the capacity of, refrigerants,,',, tonics, inil antiseptics: and when freely used at the seasun of mel low ripeness; they prevent debility, indigestion, artd avert, without doubt, many of the "ills that flesh is heir to." .' The operators of Cornwall. England , consider ripe apples nearly as nourish ing as bread, and far more so than potatoes.- In the year lbul which was a year or. much scar city apples, instead of being1 converted : into cider, were sold to the poor; ami tlie laborers asserted that they could "stand their work',' .on baueu apples, without meat, whereas a potato diet required either meat or -some other substantial nutriment. The French and Germans use apples extensively,' as do the inhabitants of all European nations. The laborers depend upon them'as an article of food, and frequently make a. dinner of sliced apples and bread. " There is no fruit cooked in as - ,.any different ways in our country as the apple; nor is there any fruit whose value, as an article of nutriment, is as great, ami so little' appreciated. ' : . ... ' Mortality Among Medical Men-r-Professor Esherieh has' just published tables which, -'would establish that the mortality is greater; among medical men than in the other professions. .

Out of 1,1 G8 medical men alive in 1852, four only (8.34 percent.) were more than BO years old. The ten oldest from any, of the above! stated professions, presented much higher figures Catholic clergymen numbered 872 years; professors and schoolmasters, 875, and Protestant clergymen. 805.
