ORIGIN OF THE EPlTHET, "TURN-
CoAT." The opprobrious term of
"turn-coat" took its rise from one
of the first Dukes Of Savoy, whose
dominions lying open to the incur
sions of the contending houses of
Spain and France, he was obliged
to temporize and fall in with that
power that was most likely to dis
tress him, according to the success
of their armies against one anoth-
er. So being frequently obliged
to change sides, he humorously
got a.coat made that was blue on
one side and white on the other,
and might be indifferently worn
either side out. While in the
Spanish Interest he wore the blue
side out, and the white side was
the badge for the French-from
whence he was called Emmanuel,
surnamed the "Turn-coat," by
way of Distinguishing him from the
other princes of the same name of
that house. -

A darling little infant


Was playing on the floor,
When suddenly sunbeam


Came through the open door;
And striking on the carpet,


1t made golden dot
The darling baby saw it,


And crept up to the spot.
Its little face was beaming


With a smile Of perfect Joy,
As if an angels presence


Had filed the little boy,
And with his tiny finger,


AS in fairy dream,
he touched the dot of sunshine,
And followed up the beam.
he looked up to his mother


To oshare his infant bliss,
Then stopped and gave the sunbeam
A pure sweet baby kiss;
Obi Lord, our heavenly Father,
In the fullness of my joy,
pray that child-like feeling


May never leave the boy.
In every hour Of trial,


When sin allures the youth,
Send forth Thy light to guide him
The sunbeams of thy Truth.
And may his heart be ever ~
To Thee an open door,
Through which Truths, as sunbeams,
May play upon Life's floor.

Jones gives another instance of
the advantages of advertising. He
gave notice that he had ten BUSH
els of grapes, on the vines, to
dispose Of. They were all off his
hands by next morning without
leaving him the labor of picking
them. The accommodating parties
who got them were even consider
ate enough to come for them quiet

1t is bad plan to grease the upper leatb-
er of shoes for the puspose of keeping them
soft: it rots the leather, and admits the damp
ness readily. 1t is better to make yarnlsh
thus:


Put half pound Of shellac, broken up in
small pieces. in quart bottle or jug, cover
it with alcohol, cork it tight and put it on a
shelf in warm place; shake it we'll several
times day, then add piece of camphor, as
large as hens egg; shake it well, and in
few hours shake it again and add one ounce
Of lamp,black; if the alcohol be good it will
all be dissolved in three days, then shake and
use. II it gets too thick add alcohol, pour
out two or three spoonfuls in saucer,
and apply it with small paint brush. If
the material is all good it will dry in FIVE
minutes; and it will be removed only by
wearing it off, giving it gloss equal to pat>
ent leather.


The advantage Of this preparation above
Others is, it does not strike into leather and
make it ha,d, but remains on the surface,
and vet excludes the water almost perfectly.


The same preparation is admirable for
harness, and does not soil when toched as
lamptlack preparations do.-HoVs Journal

The STATE DEMANDS IT.-The

our people to register, properly says:


''It is our duty to impress upon
our citizens the Importance of going

without delay, fhey have but little

are utterly unworthy to conduct its

AFFEcTAuoE. There is nothing more
disgusting than affectation, whether in
the pulpit or out oft. Everything that
is not genuine displeases, more espec-
tally when it is brought into matters Of
such great aAd vital moment as religion.
The old saying that we must ourselves
weep, if we would make others weep
lies at the root Of all preaching. Men
must feel the value and importance OF
the duties which the desire to inculcate,
and inculcating them in their language
must come from their heart II this
we're more deeply felt, sermons would
be less dull and more profitable. Preach
ers would be guided by matter not by
time; they would leave Off when they
had said their say. and would not pro-
long their discourses by "yain repeti-
tions." which weary, and are without
profit, because they have allotted to
themselves 8 certain fixed time for their
sermons London Reaelo.

great importance attached to such COM

that any body can make them, as all can take

that it is trife to make any medicine and
adapt it to the wants of millions of men-to
so adjust it to their needs, and so cure their
complaints, as to make them its constant
customers in all the zones. Physicians find
it requires some skill to adapt their doses to

intricate problem to adjust a purgative pill to
the necessities of untold numbers, so that it
shall benefit them nearly all. DR.. Ayers
