NTAsoN's PATENT PURIFIED SPERM

M ASON'S PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
lf1 OIL.-This Oil, for brilliancy, durability,
and purity as light, and for lubrioating purpo-
ses, whether applied to the delicate works of a
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpaeses
any oil now known.
1t is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
priyed OF that substance, which SO seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
ry; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleaginous su bstance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene, it is also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified
So pure ia this oil that ii will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this as in every
other particular, an advantage the best sperm
oil as now used.
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils for the purpose of overcom.
ing their impuritiea as at present fabricated the
undersigned assures the public that he has sue
ceeded in producing the .ne plus ultra of oils.
He oilers il as superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lubricating
and invokes the scientihc of all countries to test
1t and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it ia the finest oil ever offered for
sale. ~ WILLIAM D. TOWNSEND, Phila

m2ster's remark, What character had
that little boy earned! He had already
got what would be worth more to him
than fortune. ltwould be passport in
to the best store in the city, and, what is
better, into the confidence and respect Of
the whole community.
wonder if the boys know how soou
they arc rated by other people. Every
boy in the neighborhood is known, and O.
plnions are formed of hin I; he has char
act er, either favorable or unfavorable. A
boy of whom the master can say. 81 can
trust him, he never failed me-" will never
want employment. The fidelity, prompt
ness and industry which he shows at
school are i'll demand everywhere, and are
priced everywhere. He who is faithful in
little, will be faithful also in much. Be
sure boys that you earn a good reputation
at school. Remember, you are just where
God placed you, and your duties are not
so much given you by your teacher or
your parents, as by God himself YOU
must render an account to them, and you
also will be called to render an account to
Him. BE trusty-bc true.

the prima donna awaited the coming OF
her lover. Waxen candles burned upon

through the room. Delicious perfumes
exhaled fror, vases Of rare eyotics, and the
warm and fragrant atmosphere seemed TO

Amid the spiendor Of the gorgeously
furnished apartment, sat the beautiful can
tatrice. She still retained the robe she
had worn during the evening, and though
her complexion was olive. yet so transpa-
rent and delicate, that it was by no means
unsuited to the snowy satin, while the
deep carnation that glowed upon her
cheek, contrasted charmingly with the
radience which the diamonds in her ra-
ven hair, and the lustre Of her splendid
black eyes diffused around her. Like an
hour Of Mahomets paradise she seemed
= vision too perfect for human beauty.
With her jewelled hand, she swept her
shining hair from off her brow, then n

bends her head In q listening attitude.
Oh mark the unstudied grace o. that
splendid figure, the arching neck and slo-
ping shoulders. But hark ! q footstep il

and goes upon her cheek, In variations as
