POWER OF CONSCIENCE.

POWER OF CONSCIENCE.
Mr. Joel Davis of Sussex-a poor man
but sincere christian, had been in the
habit of distilling and vending brandy be-
fore the agitation Of the temperance ques-
ton in his neighborhood. When first
urged to attach himself to a Temperance
Society he refused to do so. At length he
attended temperance meeting and heard
some temperance addresses, and was so
fully convicted of the error of has acay,
that he arose in the congregation and
said, [ have objected to the Temperance
Society because have an orchard and a
still, and by making and selling brandy, |
have been able to buy clothes for my chill
dren. lam poor man, and have to work
hard, and if give up my still, it will be
very difficult for me to clothe nv little
ones. But | am convinced that l have
been wrong, Tor words to this effect,) l
will join your Society, and beat up my
still and sell it for old "copper" He forth
with Joined the Temperance Society,"
Mark the result by the advice and per-
suasion of his friends instead of DESTROYING
his still he sold it for fifty dollars. AS vol
UNFAIRLY contributions fifty dollars more was
raised for him. Since then, his hogs have
had the benefit of one halt of his apples
The other half has been converted into
vinegar, which he has sold for more mo-
ney than he ever realized d@r;;Sn the same
lime, from all his apples when converted
into brandy. He states that since he has
abandoned the sale and use Of brandy, he
has been subjected to less inconvenience
and expense than before, and has enjoyed
much more peace ofmind He has lately
sold his little place at fair price. and has
now no orchard, and consequently no need
Of still
Verify, every thing works together for
good to those who love and fear God.
Heating Rooms aoithout a0ood or coaL-
There is nothing-even in this day of in
ventions-with which we have been more
pleased, than neat little affair recently
invented, and now on sale in this city, for
heating rooms without the aid of wood OF
coal. The apparatus to which we refer,
consists ola lamp, boiler, and radiator
or stove They are so constructed as to
produce any required degree Of heat
merely by burning the steam rum, wills
key or any other ardent spirit The steam
is generated in the boiler BY the heat Of
the lamp, and is forced through blow pipes
into the radiator or stove, where it heats a
current of air which is made to pass
through it. The boiler with the pipe at
tached to it-by the act of selt-acting blow
pipe, the power of which is one Of the
greatest known to art, is in this apparatus
to act upon the atmosphere in such man
ner as to produce great heat at t1ifing
expense. The article is small, neat and
portable, and indeed very pretty orna
ment, not unfit for centre table It &C.
cupies not more than a square foot, anc
t weighs about twenty pounds A compa
ny has been formed for the manufacture
of these articles We witnessed one 0
!, them few days ago. The quantity o
! heat sent forth was astonishing They
