Drunk! my boy drunkr and tears
started to the mothers eyes, and she
bent her head in unutterable sorrow.
In that moment the visions of USE
full and honorable career were destroy
ed, and one of worthlessness if not
absolute dishonor, presented itself
Well did she know that intemperance
walks hand in hand with poverty,
shame and death, and his mothers
heart was pierced as with sharp
pointed steel. All young man, if the
holy feeling of love for her who bore
you is not dead within you, shun that
which gives her pain-adhere to that
which gives her joy. If she is with
her Father in heaven, shun that course
of life which shuts the gates OF heaven
against you, and debars you from her
society forever. The drunkard can
never inherit the kingdom Of God.

Who Taught Them7
Who taught the bird to build her nest
OF wool, and hay, and moss7
Who taught her how to weave il best,
And lay the twigs across?
Who taught the busy bee 10 fly
Among the sweetest flowers;
And lay her store of honey by,
To eat in winter hours!
Who taught the little ant the way
The narrow hole to bore;
And thro' the pleasant summers day,
To gathes up her store'
Twas God who taught them all the way,
And gave their little skill,
And teaches children, if they pray,
TO do his holy will

RS~ Some young ladies, feeling them
selves aggrieved by the severity with
which their friends animadverted on
their gay plumes, crinoline, scarlet
petticoats, and founces, went to their

can be any improperly in our wearing

SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH,

THE Grover Baker Elsstic-Sttch Sewing Machines
L superior to all others for the following reasons:
l. They sew direct from the spoos, and require no
rewinding of thread.
2 They are more easily understood and used and
less liable to arrangement than other machines
g. They are capable of executing perfectly. without
change of adjustment, much greater variety of work
than other machines.
T. The stitch made by these machines is much more
firm, elastic and durable. especially upon articles
which require TO be washed and roned, than any
other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the

give place to the following item for the
information of our readers:
There is no wine equal to the black
berry when properly made, either in

The CROWN OF MEXICO.--It may be
forgotten that member of the Bona
parte family was offered forty years ago
the crown of Mexico. The story is told
by the Emperor himself in his sketch of
Joseph, eldest brother of the first Napo-
leon: " Whilst Joseph was living as a
philosopher, on the banks of the Della
ware, thinking of nothing but doing
good to those around him, he received a
proposal which surprised and touched
him. a deputation of Mexicans came TO
him TO place at his disposal the crown of
Mexico. The ex-King of Naples and
Spain answered the deputation nearly in
these terms: have borne two crowns,
and would not take single step for a
third. Nothing can be more fiattering
to me than to see men who, when l was
in Madrid, refuse to recognize my au-
thority, come now in my exile TO ask me
to put myself at their head. But / do
not believe the throne you wish TO raise
up can make you happy; and every day
spend on the hospitable-soil of the Uni
ted States proves to me more and more
the excellence of republican institutions
for America. Preserve them, then, as
the precious gift of Providence. Put an
end to your intestine quaTrels initiate

should be borne in mind by parties own
ing claims in Colorado, that by a law
passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture of that Territory, all mining claims
which have been allowed to be unrepre-
sented during the last three years, shall
be forfeited, and subject to pre-emption
by any other party that pleases to own
them, and that no rights or ownership
shall thenceforward exist in the original
owner or absentee" This law goes into
force on the first day of February, 1867.
As there are many parties in Montana
who hold claims in Colorado, they should
take immediate action in this matter if
they wish to retain their claims.

SEVEN TIMES MARRIED-WHICH Is
WHICH A curious suit, known as the
Slade baronetcy case, is soon to be tried
in England. Lady Slade at the time of
her marriage with the late Sir Frede-
rick Slade, Q. c., supposed herself TO be
a widow, her former husband havintc
deserted her and report was circulated
that he was dead. After the birth of
Sir Frederick's first son, the first hUs
band was heard of but there was 40 alb
solute certainty whether he was alive or
dead. Accordingly, before the second
child was born, in order that there
might be no doubt about his Legitimacy,
the parents were married again. The
same ceremony was repeated before the
birth of each child in succession, and as
there are seven of them, each claims
the title and estates. Witnesses are
summoned from various parts of the
world.
