every influence possible should be brought to bear upon the intellect to improve the mind and advance it.—The ages past have been more to hinder and to cramp the intellect, to hinder reason and progress than to favor it. But it must be understood now that mind is capable of getting and bringing information from the ulter-etherial worlds. Or of mind conversing with mind, even in separate continents.—Without Telephone, Telegraph, or Witch-craft. (Spiritualism.)

For training up a strong, healthy, powerful intellect read the RULINGS OF NATURE. Only to be had at the office of the Gospel Monitor. Hannibal, Mo. Price 50 cts.

MAN, KNOW THY-SELF.

Know this and be assured quite well,

All evil comes when man hath fell.

Fell from purity, in grief,

To eat the vile tobacco leaf.

Know this my friend, a poisoned brain,

Can not a poisoned thought refrain.

A heart that beats with poisoned pulse;

Will any moral mind convulse.

Alcohol and Tobacco food,

To feed the mind with, is not good.

It causes one when e're he speaks,

To imitate the weeds and snakes.

And thus his poison he'll impart

From mind to mind from heart to heart.

When your mind is clean and pure,

More hardships you can then endure;

Then see the manly moral tone

Of an intellect full grown.

J. J. Cranmer.
