MANUFACTURES

Salem men are distinguished for industry and
economy in business; and as being good managers
wherever they undertake and no one doubts but
that manufacturing establishments can be we'll
ried on here, to much greater advantage by being
under the immediate eyes OF the owners.
While on this subject we have case in point
and it affords us much satisfaction state that on
Tuesday last the Salem Iron Factory Company,
(awel conducted and fourishing Corporation) de
clared dividend of ten per cent. or 500 per
share, being the actual profits of the last year, and
in making this dividend it is well understood that the
stock on hand was estimated at the cost They
make annual dividends, and that of 1924 was per

Singular .dccident.--A short time since, a
Young lady in S,vanney, while gagged u; fa~,>--,
had the misfortune of being completely scalped
Her hair caught in some of the machinery, by which
she raised suddenly from the floor TO the height
of two or three feel, when the skin on the back OF
her neck was instantly rent, and stripped over her
head quite to her forehead, taking off all her hair
and leaving her skull entirely exposed and bare
The operation so quick, that she did not real
ize any pain ill sometime after the accident hap
pened; nor has the pain at any time since been so
excruciating might have been expected. She is
in fair way OF recovery, and will probably be
soon restored to her usual state OF health.

WhiJield. intimate friend OF
the celebrated historian Hume, asked
him what he thought of Mr. Whitfrld's
preaching; for he had listened to the
latter part ofone Of bis sermons at Ed
inhu G. "He, is. sir" said Mr.
Hume, =" the most ingenious preacher
! ever heard; it is worth while TO go
twenty miles to hear him. He then
repeated passage toward the close &C
the discourse which he had heard -
"Aftera solemn pause he thus address
ed his numerous audience: "The at
tendant angel is about to leave the
Threshold, and ascend to Heaven And
shall he ascend. and not bear with him
the news OF one slime. among all this
multitude, reclaimed from the error
of his ways?"-To give the greater eff
feet to the exclamation, he stamped
with his foot, and with gushing tears.
cried aloud, Stop Gabrial! stop Gabri
al! stop ere you enter the sacred por
tails, aud yet carry with yen the news
of one sinner converted to God, He
then, in tne most simple, but energet
ic language, described what he cal
led a Saviour's dying love 10 sinful
man, so that almost the " hole Assem-
bly, melted into tears. This address
was accompanied with such animated,
ney nalural action, that it surpassed
Isaid Hume]any thing that l ever saw
or heard in any other preacher.

In forty years the huiericilS nave
ouadrupled their population, and
stretched their TERRITORY from the wa

P,cihc. They hive assumed: as ifby
instinct, mighty system of private
law: a bold precision OF diplomacy;
a large code OF commerce and nation
al interests. They have taken the
lead in vigour Of improvements and
practical science. Mendicityis almost
nnknowu; the demand oflabor is i'm

Church dissension are heard of only
in the history Of foreigners; slaveryit
self, the plague spot of human society,
Is fast verging to decay Agriculture,

1903, the export trade of the Union
has advanced from twenty three mil
lions of dollars, to more than eighty
millions. Their tonnage amounts to
more than a million and a half; being
nearly treble increase since the be,
gining of the present century. In the
Hudson alone, the nnmber OF mer

The God Of Nature. Lift your views
to that immense arch Of heaven which
encompasses you above. Behold the
sun in splcndor rolling over your head
BY day; and the moon by night, in mild
aud serene majesty. surrounded with
that host Of stars which present to the
Imagination an innumerabe multitude
Of worlcs.-Listen to the awful voice
of thunder-listen to the roar OF the
Oeean--survey the wonders that fill the
earth which you inhabii. Contemplate
steady and powerful hard, bringing
round Spring and Summer, Autumn
and Winter, in regular course: decora-
ting this earth with innumerable inhabi.
tants, pouring forth comfort on all that
live; and at the same time overaw;ng
the nations with the violence of the ele-
ments, when it pleases the Creator to
let them forth. After you have viewed
yourself as surrounded with such a
scene of wonders; after you have be-
held on every hand, such an interesting
display of majesty united with wisdom
and goodness--are you not seized with
solemn and serious awe?-Is there not
something that whisper within, that to
this great Creator homage and reyer-
ence are due by all The rational beings
whom he made? Admitted to be spec
tators of his works.-placed in The midst
of so many great and interestiong OBJ
jects, can you believe that you were
brought here for no purpose but to inn
merse yourselves in brutal, or at best
IN trifiing pleasures; lost to all sense Of
the wonders you behold; lost to all re-
| verence for that God who gave you be-
ing, and who has erected this amazing
fabric OF nature, on which you look
with stupid and unmeanng eyesi- No:
let the scenes which you behold prompt
correspondent feelings. Let them ava
ken you from the degrading intoxica-
ton of RIGHTEOUSNESS, into aobler emo
tons. Every object which you view in
nature, whether great or small, serves
to instruct you. The stars and the 10
sect, the fiery meteor and the flowing
spring, the verdant field and the lofty
mountain, all exhibit Supreme Power
before which you ought to trembe and
adore; all preach the doctrine, all in
sp're the spirit of devotion and rever-
ence Regarding then, The works Of
the Lord let rising emotions of awe
and gratitude call forth from your souls
such sentiments as these Lord wher
ever am, and whatever enjoy. ma, |
never forget thee, as the author Of ma
ture! may never forget that ! am thy
creature and thy subject! In this mag
niticent temple of the universe, where
thou hast placed me, may l ever be
thy faithful worshipper, and may the
reverence and fear OF God be the first
