The Heart Supreme.

Nothing in the wide world is worth
half so much as love aud peace Rich
es and station, and rank, and learning,
and polish, and genius are vanity
and less than nothing wbea weighed
in the balance with kidd, genial, aud
unselfsh heart. Have them all, if you
can the frst things are good addi-
tions to the last, but they arc wretched
substitutes for it. Il cannot be from
necessity they are so often parted
there surely is no sufficient reason why
the good and noble heart should be
chilled, and hardened, and inflated With
pride, by the acquisition of the things
that make men great in the eyes Of
their fellows.
The most elaborate culture, the most
subtle refinement ought not to render
men selfish and vain. Better blunder
with the intellect than with the heart,
for in the heart, not in the head, lies
manhood, and the days viii come when
the heart Will be crowned and walk be-
fore, while the understanding goes be.
hind to do its errands. A new com.
mandment give unto you that We love

Careless Of his rest and his personal

Why Prayers are Answered.

AT prayer meeting a merchant
once speaking of prayer, said; The
things that we pray for, If we pray
Alright, are sent to us; if we DO not
get them, it is our own fault There
are merchants in New York who
have sent to Europe for costly goods,
and the goods have come hut they
are not yet in their hands nor under
the control of their purchaser. And
Why he has not paid the duties,
and the goods lie yet in the custom
house. He cannot get them out un-
til he pays the duties. If Christians
would pray in submission to the win
OF God, and pay their dnties more
promptly, there would not be so much
delay III obtaining possession Of the
blessings for which they seud to heay-
en-. Another remarked We are
witnessing for God, ny brothers, and
we onghs always to remember that
witnesses are cross-examined. Where.

watched-we are examined and cross
examined BY the world: let us be
careful to be an honorable ard con.

CHERRY BALsAM.-We have heard so
much said OF the wonderful curative power
of DR.. WIsTAR's Balsam, in all stages of
diseased lungs, that we feel safe in recon-
mending it for general use for Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, etc.
A REMEDY THAT CUREs.-When labor
ing under any disease of the throat and
lungs, rest assured that speedy relief can
be obtained by using DR.. WIsTAR's Balsam
of Wild Cherry. Its success in such cases
is unparalleled.
WIsrAR's Wild Cherry Balsam, a scien-
titic combination of the active principle IN
the Wild Cherry Bark and Tar, is doing
wonders in the way Of alternating all lung
diseases. It seems to cure those obstinate
cases that nothing else will reach.
Do not neglect Cough, hewever slight

GENEROSITY OF THE lush SERVANT
GIRLs.-Dr. Cahill, in a letter to the
Dublin Telegraph, speaks Of the generosity
Of the Irish servant girls in sending money
to their relatives in the old country. He
has visited the different offices in New
York, for the transmission of money 10
Ireland, and from the statistics thus OBJ
tanned, estimates, that during the year
1859 the Irish servant maids now working
in this city and Brooklyn have sent home
to their parents, brothers, and sisters, the
enormous sum of one million three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
