A WORD IN SEASON.

Mr.. Rutherford was accustomed to
come to the parish of Agherton, where
Adam Clark's father resided, and to preach
in different places. Adam heard him ey-|
cry where; and in returning from the
places of preaching, was in the habit Of
walking behind him, and took delight in
literally treading in his steps; this was
before he had any personal acquaintance
with him. One evening Mr.. r. noticing
a little lad trottIng after him, whom he
had often observed at the preaching, turn
ed about and said, Well, child, God hath
said, !" l love them that love me, and they
that seek me early shall find mel He
said no more, and Adam pondered these
words in his heart and thus reasoned on
them: What does he mean by ."they
that seek me early?n I rise early, and
my first work is prayer-is that what is
meant No, it. is they who seek God
early in life when they are young then,
thus seek, and thus will seek the Lord.
He said also, "they shall find me- 9TH
ers, perhaps, may seek and not find but
God says to the young, "they SHALL
fud. This gave him great encourage
ment. Other preachers took no notice Of
him; probably supposing that one SO
young, could not be expected to have
much concern for his soul. Experience,
however, has indisputably shown that the
true light that lighleneth every man thai
cometh into the world, shines often very
powerfully on infant minds: and that we
/ cannot be too attentive to their cultivation
and that the best fruits may be expected
from careful anagement of sach soils.

This text might have had reference pri-

their iniquities, were being scattered and

human race is exposed, I'VE do all fade

lMPRoPRIETIEs IN THE PuLPIT.-It is an
Improperly in a clergyman to forwarn his
audience that be has Uery fen remarks to
offer, and then TO prolong his address TO an
hour or more. He should either avoid all
preliminary announcements of the kind, or
else afterwards strictly adhere to his promise.
1t is an improperly in clergyman to
conclude prayer which has tried every
nearer by its indiscreet length, by saving
but we are,not heard for our much speak
ing" intilnating that he had not already
been guilty of much speaking!
1t is an improperly ia a clergyman to take
advantage of his praying to God, to tell the
congregation some news which they had
not before heard, or to praise some fellow
worm sitting in the pulpit with him.
1t is an improperly in clergyman ever
to announce from the pulpit his own works,
or to sound his own praises Presbyterian.

HEADACHE.

DR. e. SPOHN, a German physician
~ ofmuch note, having devoted his at
tenlion for some years to the cure and re-
moval of the causes of the NERVOUS
AND SICK HEADACHE, has the satis-
faction to make known, that he has reme-
dy which by removing the causes cures ef~
fectualy and permanently this distressing
complaint. There are many families who
have considered Sick Headache a consti-
tutional ineurable family complaint. Dr..
s. assures them that they are mistaken. and
laborDg under distress which they might
not only alleviate, but eradicate by. the use
Of his remedy.
1t Is the result of scientific research, and
is entirely Off different character from ad-
vertised patent medicines, and is not un-~
pleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that DR..
Spohn's remedy for this distinguished COM
plant is every day gaining, is certainly
matter of much astonishment. That 30
much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an actual preven-
tive or cure, is truly subject of much re-
gret, but DR.. s. now assures the public
that such remedy has been invented as
will convince the most incredulous. The
priciples upon which it acts are simple and
PLAIN. 1t is an admitted fact that this CON-
plaint, whether called sick headache, or ner-
vous headache, arises primarily from the
stomach-those who think they have the
Nervous Hcadache may rest assured TINT
this organ, the stomach, is the first cause
that the system has become vitiated or de-
bilitated, through the stomach, and that
only through the same channel must they
expect a restoration of the natural and
healthy functions Of the system. This OBJ
,ject DR.. Sphons remedy is emnently cacu-
lated to attain. The truth of this position
cannot be controyerted, and the sooner suf-
ferers with the headache become convinced
of it, the sooner will their sufferings end in
the restoration of health. DR.. Spohn
pledges his professional reputation on this
fact. The remedy may be had of apothe-
carries generally throughout the United
States.

ETAEMORRHOIDS. No cure no pay.l
IL IL Hays Liniment. No fiction. This
extraordinary chemical composition, the re-
suit of science, and the invention Of an Of
brated medical man, the introduction Of
which to the public was invented with the
solemnity of death-bed bequest, has since
gained reputation unparalleled, fully sus-
tanning the correctness Of the lamented DR..
Gridiey's last confession, that che dared
not die without giving to posterity the ben
eft of his knowledge on this subject" and
he therefore bequeathed to his friend and
attendant, Solomon Hays, the secret Of his
discovery.
1t is now used in the principal hospitals,
and the private practice in our country, first
and most certainly for the cure of the Piles.
and also so extensively and effectually as
to battle credulity, unless where its effects
are witnessed. Externally in the follow
ing complaints:
For Dropsy-Creating eHtraordnaryab ab

an SweIlings-Reducing them in a few

Rheumatism-Acute or Chronic, giving

Sore Ttroat--By cancers, ulcers, or

Group ard Wkooping Cough-Exter-
nallv, and over the chest.
.4N Bruises, Spraims and Bsrns--Cu-

Sores and Whether fresh or long
standing, and fever sores.
It's operation upon adults and children in
reducing rheumatic swellings, and loose
ming coughs and tightness of the chest by
relaxation Of the parts, has been surprising
beyond conception. The common remark
ofthose who have used it in the Piles, is
1t acts like charm.F
