PRACTICAL PREACHING.

We have heard of various speci-
mems Of negro cloqucnce in our
time, but never actually listened to
an illustration till yesterday. Drop
ping into an African meeting-ho
in the outskirts Of the city, we
found the sermon just commenced.
The topic seemed to be the deprav-
ity Of the human heart, and the sa-
bic divine thus Illustrated his argu-
ment:
"Breden, when was in Virginia
one day de ole woman's kitchen ia,
bic got broke, an | was sent into
de woods to cut tree to make a
new leaf for it. So took de ak on
de shoulder, and | wander into de
depts OF dc forest.
"All nature was beautiful az a la,
dy going to dc wedding. De leave:
glistened on de maple tree like new
quarter dvllars in De missionary box
de sun shone as brilliant and nature
looked as gay as a rabbit in a pas
ley patch, and de little bell round de
old sleeps neck tinkled softly and
unsteady in de distance.
II spied a tree suitable for the
purpose, and | raised an AK to cut
in to de trunk. Il was a beautiful
tree, De branches reach to dc foul
corners OBJ de earth, and raise up
high to the air above, and the
squir'ls hop about in de limbs like
little angels Topping der wings II
de kingdom Nv hcben Dat tree
was OBJ promise, ny friends like
many Oh you.
"Den l cut into de trunk, and
make de chips fly like de mighty
scales dropping from Paul's eyes,
Two, tree cut / gave dat tree, ant
alas, it was holler in de but!
''Dat tree was emblematic Of ma,
ny Of you, l much .ear lay friends. :
The groans from the amen corner
Of the room were truly contrite anc
affecting, but we will venture ;
small wager that was the most prac
teal sermon preached in the city OF
that day at least,-[N. Y. Paper.

TIE MOURNER'S HAVEN.

Why should we fear the grave?
Why shudd'ring paint the tombP
Hopes azure banners wave
Above its gloom;
And as her streamlets float on high,
We catch bright glimpses Of The sky;
or that eternal blissiul home,
Where fears and partings never come.
BIT the flowers of life--the flowers
Are lovely to behold,
And the rosy morn, with her purple hours
And her sunny locks Of gold;
Sill, still they breathe ofjoy, Of love
Undimm'd by sorrows tear
And who would yield one hour of life
When ought we love is near?
Who then but starts and fears the gloom,
The cold, cold shadows Of the tomb?
But the flowers, the flowers are faded,
Nipped by pale sorrows touch;
And grief that glance hath shaded
The heart but loved too much;
And the future seems more dark
Than the thunder cloud on high;
For the lightning's passing flash
nlumes that DER the sky.
Thea seek, thou mourner, seek the tomb,
For thee there's peace within its gloom.

PULVERMACHERs
Hvdrn.Electio Vnltaio Chainsl


A RE for the first time presented to the people
n of Glasgow and vicinity as a NEW, sCiENTiT-
&c and CONVENIENT method Of applying Electro
Magnetism, in the instant relief and permanent
cure of all nervous diseases.
Rheumatism, Paptation of the heart,
Painful & sweedj joints, Rheumatic pains of chest
Neuralgia of the face, Female diseases,
Deafness, Blindness, General debility,
Dyspepsia, Flautulence Contracted limbs,
Pans in the back, Paralysis, Sciatica.
History -Pulvcrmacher's Chains were first in
troduccd into this country about year since. in
the city or New York, where they were subJec-
ted to the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valen-
tine Mott, Van Buren,, Post Carnochan, who at
once scovered that they possessed strange and
wonderful power IN almost instantly relieving all
nervous pain rhercrcy located; and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case, that their
opinions were published through the pnblic press,
and thousands have been lndnced TO try them, and
! in nosingle instance have they failed TO perform
all we advertise TO do. They are patented in this
country, France, England Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu-
rope, land also in every hospital IN N. Y. City.
| 10 other Medical 3gCnt can produce so many
well authenticated Certificates OF cure-not only
! from intelligent PATIENTS but from Scientific Ply
sicianS. and their sale, wherever introduced, has
| been unparalleled
The chains are so constructed as 10 be worn
near the skin, producing constant current of
Electro Magnetism-can be used by either adults
or childrcn--neyer get out of repair, and with
proper care will last for years.
Price OF Chains SO and So, and can be sent by
mail TO any part Of the country. A pamphlet eff
36 pages always accompanies each chain, and can
be had of any agent, gratis.
| CAUTION TO LADIES.--Ladies who are en-
cicnte are requested not 10 use them for great
length Of time, only for few moments; for by
continued use miscarriage is frequently produced.-

Existence Of God.

There is a Godl The herds of the val.

insects sport in his beams; the elephant sa-
lutes him with the rising orb of day; the
birds sing him in the foliage; the thunder
provlaims him in the heavens the ocean has
declared his immensely; man alone has said
''rllere IS no Godg' Unite in thought, at
the same instant, the most beautiful object
in nature; suppose that you see at once all
the hours Of the day, and all searops of the
year; a morning of Spring and a morning Of
Autumn; a uight bespangled with stars and
with flowers; forests hoary with snow; fields
gilded by tint Of autumn; then alone you
will have a just conception of the universe.
While you are gazing on that sun which
il plunged under the vault of the west, an.
other observer admires him emerging from
the silded gates OF the east. By what in.
soneeiyeable magic does that aged star,
which is sinking fatigued and burning in
the shades Of evening, reappear at the
same instant, fresh aud humid with the 70
sy dew of the morning? AT every instarr
ofthe day the glorious orb is at once rising
resplendant at moor day, and setting in the
west; or rather our senses deceives us, anc
there is, properly spesking,no castor north

The CRoPs IN OuIo.-The exceeding
good prospect for a he,vy wheat crop the
present season has had the effect of dispel.
ling much ofthe dependency which has for
som time past oppressed the public mind.
1t is now generally admitted that il we have
but a small yield Of wheat in Ohio this yesr
it will be owing to adverse causes which
will transpire hereafter. II Is not at all like
y thatany calamity will intervene to destroy
the well-grounded hope of the present hour
A large , ield Of wheat will be the means Of
relieving the people of this state Of very
much Of the embsrrassments we have been
IsbOring under. On the other hand, should
the grain crop prove a failure. despite the
promise we nov have, Ohio would
very likely be placed upon the verge OF bank

Don't Kill the Birds.

We saw . number Of boys on the hill side
below the city last week engaged in bird
killing. They were eager in pursuit-over-
joyed at their success. and, little knowing
the damage they we're doing, and the cruel.
ty they were inA;cting upon this innocent
portion Of Gods creation. We begged the
boys to quit it-for aside from the want of
necessity Of killing the birds, as The Hartford
Courant remarks Of that region, birds are
becoming ''alarmingly scarce" in this vicin-
ity. 1--WE say alarmingly. for the armies of
the palmer worm. caterpillar, and canker
worm are alarmingly on the increase, The
little birds are the farmers and gardeners
best friends. They dessroy the bugs and
the worms that infest their crops and orch
ards. The blackbird may occasionally pluck
up a few hills of corn, but he daily gathers
more destructive insects as he travels oveI
the newly ploughed fields than all the corn
is worth which he destroys ten times over
The robin may take 9 few of your spare
cherries, but he is only taking pay for tn,
worms he swallows which would have mad
your garden a desolate waste. The farmer
cannot do without the little birds. They ar,
his best friends. We have no doubt that til,
late ravages of various insects are owing t,
the wholesale destruction of their enemies

CrErSG SHEEp.SKINs WITH Wool on
Take on tea-spoonfull of alum and two Of
saltPetre; pulyerize and mix well together,
then sprinkle tine powder on the flesh side
of the skin, and lay the two flesh sides TO-
gether, leaving the wool outside. Then fold
up the skins as tight as you can, and put
them in a dry place. In two or three days
as soon as they are dry scrape them with a
blunt knife till clean and supple. This com.
pletes the process, and makes an excellent
saddle cover. Other skins which you desire
to cure Aith fur CD, can be treated IN the
same way.

TWENTY Tons OF HAY PER AcRE.-It was
stated by Mr.. Grid at an agricultural dinner
given by Mr.. Mechi, in England, recently,
that twenty tons of hay had been raised of
a single acre in Scotland, the last season.
1t was Italian rye grass, which grows to a
great height in the humid climate of Scot
land, and he cut from seven to ten times
from March to December. In the instance
named, it WINS cut ten times, but at each
cutting an abundant application Of liquid ma
nure was made.

WARTS ON CATrLE.-The cause OF warts
