Perhaps they would like to know how gum is made: The greatest gum manufacturing establishment is said to be at Pe dunk, Mass., and the fame of their gum and the gum itself is in the moath of all the world. One of the employees of that establishment, who has become thoroughly initiated into the mystery of the manufacture of gum, was recently discharged, and has since divulged the process by which these quids which young la- dies musticate with such 'velocity and apparent satisfaction, are made. The gum 1s made of certain parts of gum arabic, gum tragacanth, a small quantity of resin and fat. The fat used is not lard, that being too ex- pensive, but is a substance expressed from the dead hogs, cats, dogs and other animals found on the city com- mous. . This is not the worst of it.-- After the various ingredients are melted togethey in a huge kettle, a certain kind of &lkal 1s put in for the porpose of whitening the gum. This alkali is the same that 1s used hy dyers with indigo to give a deep and pe roagent blue to flannels. Grear Mex.--Homer was a beg- gar ; Plautus turned a mull, Terence was a slave, Boethius died in jail; Paul Borghese had 14 good trades, yet starved with them all; Tasso was often distressed for a few shill- ings; Cervantes died of hunger; Cam- oc ns, the writer of the ¢ Lusiad,' ended his days in an almshouse, and Vange- lae left bis body to the surgeons, to' help 10 pay his debts. Bacon lived a life of petty meanness and distress; Walter Raleigh died on the scaffold; Speuser died in want ; Milton sold his copyright of * Paradise Lost, for £15, and died in obscurity ; Dryden lived in poverty and distress ; Otway pe ished ot hunger; Les died in ool sireets; Steele was 1n perpetual war- fare with the bailiffs; Goldsmith's 4 Vicar of Wakefield' was sold for a trifle, to save him from the grasp of Taw.

How entered men shudder at the life which they are leading | Said a reformed young man to me a few wecks ago; 'I was two years ago an habitual drunkard. Night after night I went home intoxicated. And yet I abhorred myself; --daily did I repent and resolve never to touch another glags. But the next night found me with my old associ- ates, and with the resolution never to do 80 again, I congented to drink. Thus I went on becoming worse and worse, with no power within myself to resist.' Hud that young man been left to himself, it is easy 10 imagine where he would have been today. But influences were thrown around him to draw him to church, into the Sabbath Sehool, and one evening while listening to a sermon on the broad and narrow ways, the Spirit enabled him to resolve t) enter ind walk the narrow way. From that day to this he has lived a consistent Christian life. He believes, and it is apparent,thatthe influence of pious friends saved him from ruin. In every commusity, it is easy to find men and women who look to us from their wretched and roined condition and say' Why don't you bold me © You sce Ll have lost all power to restrain myself. Ido not wish to be vicious, but I am 10 the hands of «monster whom I cannot resist. You wust gave me. or I am lost." Do some persons deserve scorn and reproach ? Should the christian and philanthropist pass them by in cold indifferenceg or with harsh rebuke Is this maghanimity ? Is this Chsist- like? When shall we learn the trath that Christ came not to condemn, but "to geek and to save that which was lost'? When shall we learn that our erring brother and fallen neighbor are looking to us for help; and that our holy religion requires us to threw aronnd them tho'arms of Christian Sy mpathy and love to hold them from vice and draw them to the Saviour, An elderly maiden, who had saf- fered some disappointments, thus de- fines the humau race :-- Man, u eon glomerate mass of hair, tobaceo smoke, confusion, conceit, and boots, Wo- men, the waiter, perforce, on the aforesaid animal.
