From the Family Pictorial, N. 7. Aug. 1859
The ART OF SAvING.-Benjamin Franklin,
in his writings tells us that "Poor Richard''
declared ian ounce Of prevention was worth
pound of cure" and the dear good old man
was right. tie, Poor Richard, would insist
upon mending everything as soon as it was
broken, and thereby saved much trouble and
less from enlargement of the injury. One day
witty woman said to a venerable Quaker,
noted for his strenuous adherence to the prin-
ciples of "Poor Richard"
You are always for mending and patching
and yet IN spite of your doctrine, that "a
stltch IN time saves nine," Pill lay you some
thing pretty, that rent or hole will wear
t,gtce as long as patch"
Even so, my good DAME" replied the Qua
ker, but garments with patches will wear
thrice as long as with rents or hole"
What would Poor Richard or BENJAMIN
Franklin have said if Spalding's Pyepared
Glue had been in existence during their time?
1t is certainly the greatest economiser ever in
troduced to the public, and its remarkable
tenacity makes it reliable method of SAUNA
If you have broken looking glass, bedstead
table, chair, basket moulding, or in fact any
article of ornament or Of use that glue would
adhere to at all, this new preparation will re-
join the broken parts firmly, forever. 1t is
contained in neat little bottles, free from smell
and al,oays ready for immediate use. Among
all the thousands Of families who take the
Pictorial, there is not single one who does
not this moment stand in need of bottle of
Spalding's Prepared Cline.

n+one of the humanitarian movement,

Or One of the humanitarian movements
of our times, although little known as such
can hardly be over estimated in its importance
upon the well-being Of our widely scattered
communities. The population Of the Amer
lean States is in many sections so sparse, that
skillful Physicians are hardly available to
them. Vast numbers of our people, are oblig-
ed to employ in sickness, such medical relief
as they can hear of from each other, orindeed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arises the great consumption of Patent Medi-
cines among us, greater by far than in any of
the old countries where skilful physicians are
accessible to all classes. Unprincipled men
have long availed themselves Of this necessity
to palm off their worthless nostrums, until
the word has become SYNONYMOUS with i'm
position and cheat. One of our leading Chem
lists in the East, Dr. AVER, is pursuing a
course which defeats this iniquity. lie brings
not only his own, but the best skill Of our
times to bear, for the production of the best
remedies which can be made. These are sup
piled to the world, in convenient form, at
low prices, and the people will no more buy
poor medicines instead of good, at the same
cost, than they will bran instead of -four
The inevitable consequence of this is, that the
vile compounds that food our country are
discarded for those which honestly accomplish
the end in view,-which cure. Do we over
estimate its importance, in believing that this
prospect of supplanting the by-word medi-
;ines, with those of actual worth and virtue,
S fraught with immense consequence for good,
o the masses of our people.-Gaze and
