1Mp A good anecdote is told of a house
painters son, who used the brush very dex-
terously, but had acquired the habit of put
ting it on too thick. One day his father,
after having frequently scolded him for his
lavish daubing, and all to no purpose, gave
him a severe aagellation. 'There, you
young rascal after performing the painful
duty, show do you like that p "Well, I
don't know, dad" whined the boy, in reply,
"but it seems to me that you put it on a
great deal thicker than did,"

THE SABBATH.

The observance of the Sabbath is, beyond
all doubt, beneficial to man in pecuniary
point of view. The bow, always bent, looses
its elasticity; so the laboring man and beast
by constant toll, becomes languid and weak.
That both man and beast may be vigorous
and strong, God has ordained that we "shall
work six days and rest the seventh" But
the great design of the Sabbath is moral in
its nature. God designs the Sabbath as
day of moral and religious improvement
and, at the same time, our worldly affairs are
not thwarted in their progress. Every
seven days one is granted us, for obtaining
religious knowledge, sufficient, if properly
improved, to memorize the whole Bible and
analyze much of its precious contents.
But this is not all. The Sabbath was
designed to be foretaste to US of Heaven
the endless Sabbath of Gods people.
The proper observance Of the Sabbath
is proof of piety, and tends to develop
piety. The first evidence that individuals
give of lukewarmness, is Sabbath desecra-
ton.

A solemn pause followed this brief an.
swer, for the inquirer had not sought first
the kingdom of God and his rig ghteousness'
The person referred to was the son of a
pious laboring man. Earlyin life he pro:
fessed faith in Christ, and he soon obtained
a subordinate position in a mercantile es-
tablishment in the city. He continued to
maintain reputable religious profession till
he became partner in the firm. Labor
then increased. He gave less attention to
religion, and more and more to his business,
and the cares of the world choked the Word.
Ere he became old, he was exceedingly rich
in money, but so poor and miserly in soul,
that none who knew him would have sus-
pected that he had ever borne the sacred
name of Him who said, 'tIt is more blessed
to give than to receive. -
At length he purchased the large landed
estate referred to, built a costly mansion,
sickened and died. Just before he died,
he remared, "My prosperity has been my

CONSISTENCY.

The Apostle Paul admonishes Christians
to "avoid the appearance Of evil" This
may be regarded as advising them to act
consistently with the principles of the Chris
tian religion. Scarcely any one thing has
so much to do in giving dignity and intu-
ence to professor of religion, as consis-
tency. 1t is jewel sure enoug h when pos
sessed by follower Of the Lamb Of God.
It is more valuable than gold, and more to
be desired than learning.
That individual whose acts contradicts
his prayers, never can do much good
Those who know that his life and profess
sion do not agree, never can be fully per-
suaded that the actions, and not the pro-
fessions, are the true index of such man 8
character.
The man who spends the week in revelry,
never can convince his associates that he
has deep toned piety. But on the contra
ry, the man whose life is in perfect agree
ment with his profession, is respected even
by the avowed enemies of religion, and
loved and honored by God and angels.

To MAKE Cows GIVE MILK.-A writer,
who says his COW gives all the milk that is
wanted in his family of eli ght persons, and
from which was made two hundred and six
ty pounds of butter this last year, gives the
following as his treatment He says: elf
you desire to get yield Of rich milk from
your COW, three times q day, water slightly
salted, in which bran has been stirred at
the rate of one quart to two gallons of wa.
ter. You will find, if you have not tried
this daily practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent. more milk imediately
under the effect of it, and she will become
so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink
clear water unless very thirsty; but this
mess she will drink almost any time, and
ask for more. The amount of this drink
necessary is on ordinary water pail full
each morning, noon and night. Four hun:
dred pounds of butter are often obtained
from good stock, and instances are men
toned where the yield was even at higher
figure.

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE,

vE<HE superior merits Of the "Singer'' Machines
over all others, for Family use or Manufactu-
ring purposes, are so well established and so gen.
orally admitted, that an enumeration oftheir rela
tive excelencies longer considered necessary.
Our new Family Machine, which has been
brought to perfection regardless OF time, labor or
expense, is now confidently presented to the pub
existence.
The Machine in question is simple, compact du-
rable and beautiful. It is quiet, light running,
and capable of performing range and variety Of
work never before attempted upon single Ma
chine-using either SILK, TWIST, LINEN, OR
COTTON THREAD, and sewing with equal ia
cility the very finest and coarsest materials, and
anything between the two extremes, in the most
beautiful and substantial manner. Its attach
ments for hemming, braiding, cording, tuckng,
quilting telling, trimming, binding, &C., arenove1
and practical, and have been invented and adjust
ed especially for this machine.
New designs Of the unique, useful, and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases. peculiar To the ma
chimes manufactured by this Company, have been
prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea, however, can at best be conveyed
through the medium of a necessarily Hmitedad-
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest Of Sewing Machine by all means to ex-
leading rival machines before making purchase.
A selection can then be made understandingly.
Branches or agencies for supplying the Singer
Machines will be found in nearly every city and
town throughout the civilized world, where ma
chimes VIII be cheerully exhibited, and any infor-
nation promptly furnished. Or communications
