thousands of total abstinence seanen oirshore.,
The marine Temperance Society of New York
numbers over: 81 900 members. 2. In bet.
ter observance ofthe Christian Sabbath. tits

Many masters at sea gave their'men portion
of Saturday for meadlng their clothes, and ma
king al clean and snug for the due observance
of a day OF rest. Many Of our fishing vessels,
and some ofour whale ships use~neither hook
nor barpooa on the Sabbath. g. Progress is
seen ina better discipline atsea.. 4. Progress.
is seen in growing desire, for the Bible, and
religious and useful books. More than two
thousand volumes have been sent to sea with
the Japan Exploring Expedition. the Coast
survey,smerchint, andzwhale ships, within the
past J ear. :. 5. Finally, and eminently. it's
;seeu}in numerous conversions to. God, which

MASON'S PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
lfl fOIL.-This Oil, for brilliancy, durability,
and purity light, and for lubricating purpo-
ses, whether applied to the delicate works of
watch or the most ponderous machinery, SURPRISES
any oil now known. M.
It is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
prived OF that substance, which SO seriously inn
pedes the rapid movement Of all kinds of machine
~; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleaginous substance now in use
w lille 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 is this oil that it 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 over the best sperm
oil as now used.
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils, for the purpose of overcom.
ing their impurities as at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has suc-
ceeded in producing the enc plus ultra" of oils
He offers it as superior to any known oil in the,
world for the purposes of burning and lubricating
and nvokes the scientific of all countries to test
1t and pronounce their opinions satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil ever offered for
sale. WILLIAM d. TOWNSEND, Phiia.

UTDick Crisp tells the following story
about snoring: Says he, my uncle P
was an awful snorcr. He could be heard
further than a blacksmith's forge but my
aunt became 50 accustomed to it, it soothed
her to repose. They were very domestic
couple-never slept apart for many years:
At length my uncle was compelled to attend
court at some distance. The first night al
ter his departure, my aunt never slept a
wink-she missed the snoring. The second
night passed away in the same way, with
out sleep. She was getting in bad way
and probably would have died, had it not
been for the ingenuity Of the servant girl
she took the colfee-mill into my aunt's cham
