THE -FAMILY CIRCLE.
My Mother’s Bible.
by TJE AUTHOR OF “ WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.”
” This book is all that’s left me now!
Tears will unbidden start;
With faltering lip and throbbing brow,
• I press it to iny heart.
For many generations pass'd,
Uere is our family tiee;-
Mv mother’s hands this Bible clasp and
She, dying, gave it me.
Ah ! well do I remember those
Whose names records bear;
Who rouud the hearth-stone used to close
After the evening prayer,
And speak of what these pages said,
Iu tones my heart would thrill;
Though they aro with the silent dead,
here are they living still 1 .
My father read this holy book
To brothers, sisters dear;
how calm was my poor mother’s look,
W .to le ui’d God’s word to hear,
her angel sac see it yet!
What thionging memories cornel
Again that little group is met
• Within the walls of home!
Thou truest friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy I’ve tried ;
Where all were false 1 found thee true,
My coanstlior and guide.
The mines of earth no treasures give
That could this volume buy ;
Iu teaching me the way to live,
It taught me how to die.
We liave altered the heading of this
column, choosing to adopt one that
would all'w of a wider range in the
selections of our articles, and one that
would permit us to cater to greater va
riety of tastes. will he
prepared with care, evidencing out
sincere desire to please all classes ot
readers. It shall he inimical to all
that is inclined to create
LONG FACES.
TVe never could see why Christians
ought not to be as cheerful as othei
people. What a sad mistake to sup
pose that a man should he gloomy lie
cause lie is devout, as it misery vver*
acc'-ptahle mi its own account,
ami happiness an otic nee against liir
diirnii >. A modern writer ot much
wisdom and pith ot writing, says:—
“There is secret belief amongst men
that God is displeased with men’s hap
pine.-s, and so they slink about crea
tion, ashamed and afraid to enj-y any
thing!” These are people of whom
Ilood says: “They think they’re pioiG
when they’re only billions.”
A good man is almost always a
cbeeiful one.
It is lit that had men should scowl,
and look blue and melancholy; hut he
who lias God’s smile upon him, should
show its radiance in his countenance.
Dr. Johnson said lie ‘‘never knew a
villain in his life that was not on the
whole an unhappy dog,” and well lie
may be. But an honest man—the
mail with a good conscience, let him
enjoy his sleep, ami his dinner, and
the love of his wife, the prattle of his
children, and show a beaming face to
his neighbor. Surely there is no worse
theology than that which teaches that
he who has given such fullness of joy
to beasts and birds, delights in t lie mis
ery of men; or that, having tilled our
hearts with gladness, wo ought to give
the lie to his goodness by wearing fa
ces beclouded with woe, and furrowed
with pretended unhappiness.
Extract from th Journal of Rev.
A. B. CABAXISS, MISSIONARY TO CtHNA.
a cuinaman’s mode of revenge.
I may here remark, if one Chinaman
has anything against another, and can
net get satisfaction, the greatest re
venge he cun take ou his adver-ary is
to g, and hang himself at his door.—
This will plunge him into the greatest
troubles and difficulties. The laws of
China make every man responsible for
unnatural dea hs about ids premises.
Iu vain may he plead ihat the man
hung himself for the sake of revenge.
“So much the worse.” will perhaps be
tiie reply of the judge. “You cer
tainly must have treated him very
badly to have caused him to resort to
such means.” It will then cost the
unfortunate man many dollars to stop
tlie tears and complaints of ilie rela
tives of tlie decease i lie will also
have to fee the assistants about the
Mandarin office liberally, and per
hap> semi round a sum as a present, to
bio “honor, h.-tiro the matter call be
finally hushed up. But his troubles
do nor end here, as the ghost of the;
dec -a-ed haunts tlie house, and is hard
to he appeased. Whatever had luck
may liereat er bet and slit family, is at
trib.lied to his influence. Il the man
should remove from iie dwelling in
order to get, rid of tlii.-. ghost, nobody
cL-e will rent it of him; as in China,
who does not fear a haunted bouse!
Wi,i such a train of diffieul.ies stal
ing him in the tacit is easy to see
that a weahliy Chinaman could be
scared into terms by the threat and
decided appearance of intention of an
enemy to hang himself at his door,
when nothing else would induce him !
to yield. By this means a poor man i
can check the encroachments of an !
overbearing itlK | we;l |.|. v neighbor
with whom he cannot g, to law, where
it takes a considerable stun of money
to give the judge a clear understand
ing ot the merits ot his case.

lie would reason thus: “My friend
if I kill inyselt, I bring a long train of
calamities upon my enemy. If h e has
wealth, I know my fatuity will get a
good share of it, and will thus be ena
bjed to live in comfort, as well as to
hire priests to perform the necessary
rites to get me out of purgatory. They
can also make offerings at my tomb
whicn will keep my spirit at rest. On
tha other hand, if I take your honor
able advice, and kill my enemy, I
eliall still lose my life—as the Mauda
rins will have me beheaded —and my
family will be left in poverty and dis
grace, subject to persecution at any
time, while iny spirit will wandei
about the nether regions without any
hope of finding rest. So, you see, 1
have reason on my side, notwithstand
ing you call me afoul. It is a grea;
pity you fore issuers do not understand
principles You can fight like tigeis,
hut you cannot reason.”
A passage in Scripture “ opened
UP;” OR THE WORD “CARRIAGES” EX
PLAINED IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER
“We took our carriages, and went up to Jerusa
lem.”—Acts 21: 15.
This is one of those passages whose
meaning is quite likely to be misap
prehended, unless the reader is well
acquainted with the changes which
have taken place in the English lan
guage since the Bible was translated.
Probably nine-tenths of all who read
the verse suppose, and very naturally
roo, that Paul and his companions,
were provided with such conveniences
as now are known by the name of car
riages. Even writers of books have
fallen into the same error. Thus we
read in Wilson’s “Travels in Egypt and
the Holy Land:”
“This, I am inclined to believe, was
not the track which was taken by the
Apostle Paul, when lie went up to Je
rusalem f. om tlie coast, as he appears
tc have travelled iu some conveyance
moved on wheels ,* for it is so far from
being in any degree possible to draw
any one along, that, on the contrary,
a great exertion is necessary to trav
ellers to get forward their mules.
Tlie error here is a comparatively
harmless and amusing one, but the
same mistake has been made the foun
dation ot seiious cavil at the truth of
the passage. “How is this possible,”
says a modern objector, “when there
s nothing but a mountain track, im
passable for v.dieels. between Caesarea
and Jerusalem F The blunder in the
former the sneer in the latter
would alike have been saved, luid the
wi iters known that when the Bible was
ratiflated “carriage” did not mean
that which carries,” but “that which
was carried.” “Wq took up our car
. iages” means no more and no less
than “we took up our baggage,” or,
is one of tbe earlier transla; ions, famil
arly exposes it, “we trussed up our
farlel.” Professor Scbolt field, in bis
•‘lliius for an Improved Translation of
lie New Testament,” recommends
bar. the passage be rendered, “we put
up our baggage.”
There are other passages in the Bible
where the word “carriage’ is evident
ly used as synonymous with baggage.
For example, “So they turned and de
serted, and put the linle ones, and
ilie eats e, and the carriage before
iliem”—JudgtslS: 21. “And David
life lit 6 cirringc ill tlie band <•! the
keeper of i lie carriage” —Ist Samuel
IT: 22. David’s “carriage” consisted,
is we learn from the preceding verses,
of an ephali of parched can, Icmi
loaves of bread, and ten cheeses.—
j Examples of a similar characser may
! readily be cited fromjiistoriana and e>-
! ,-avists who were contemporaneous
i wish the translators- of the Bible. —
j North, in his translations of Plutarch.
I says that Spartacus withdrew with an
! opposing army, and took all their car
riage; and Bacon, quoting Ist Samuel
;30: 24, speaks of those “who stood
1 with the carriages,” substituting the
j “carriages” for “stuff.” which appears
I iii the ordinary version.
In fact, “ carriage,” luggage,” and
i “baggage” were not only formed in
I the same way, but were originally sy
jnonymns; baggage being that which
is bagged, luggage that which is lug
ged, and carnage ihat which is carried,

Anecdote of Reading Praya-is.
Many years ago, before Alb my was
linked to Boston by iron bands, a
meeting of the American B >anl of
Oominisbioucrs for Foreign Missions
was held at Albany, and D.\ Chapin,
with a number of other clergymen
from this region, attended, peiforming
the j ourtiey by stage. At the close of
the meeting they returned by tlie same
conveyance. The stage started at 4
o’clock in the morning, which at that
season of the year was before daylight.
All the passengers iu the stage but
one were Congregational clergymen ;
that one was a young Episcopal minis
tor. At first starting the passengers
were all silent, till after some time our
Episcopal friend, with somewhat more
ot courage than discretion, proceeded
to deliver himself substantially as fol
lows :
“ I have been examining those por
tions of Scripture, lately, in which
prayer is spoken of, and have satisfied
myself that prayer is never spoken of
in the Bible where the circumstances
do not make it probable—yes, I uia\
-ay certain—that the prayer must be
read.”
To this somewhat startling propo
-it ion no one made any reply, but our
young friend, nothing daunted weir
Hi; ‘I will defy any gentleman pres
ent to bring forwaid an instance when
bis is not the case.”
There was again a short silence
which was broken by Dr. Chapin, who
said in his blandest ami most deferen
tial tones,
“ I do not mean to deny your po
sition, sir ; but there is one question 1
should like to ask, if you will be so
kind as to answer it.’
“ Oh, ask as many questions as you
please—l will answer them,” was tLu
reply of the young man.
“Tlie question I wished to ask was,”
said Dr. Chapin, very deliberately,
•‘who held the candle for Jonalrwhen
he read prayers in the whale’s belly V
“ Ir. is said that the juvenile divine
maintained a dignified silence during
the rest of that journey.”
AGRICULTURAL.
Passing by the Lauicr mirotu
tention was attracted by a large bale
of cotton bound with iron hoops in
stead of hempen rope. We were cu
rious enough to stop and make an ex
animation and were led to reflect upon
the matter. We came to the conclu
sion that the hoop is an improvement
The advantages which mentally pre
sented themselves were these: First
atid foremost there seemed little dan
ger to be feared from the planter’*
greatest dread.jfi/ta; for if the bale is
kept compressed it cannot burn. And
hence we were lead to the conclusion
that tli a risk being less, insurance might
he effected at a cheaper rate, which
we consider no small item, and it dan
ger is diminished doubtless warehouses
and rail-roads will diminish their char
ges for very evident reasons. If the
planter loses the price of the hoops and
clasps, his saving in these items will
more than compensate him.
The hoops seem stronger than ropes;
hence will be on rough handling bet
ter. Indeed we do not see how the
bales can burst open.
The bale evidently was packed .ac
cording to the usual custom and taut
ened by the same manipulations, ex
cept that hoops of iron are. passed in
stead of rope; and instead of bein
tied are clapped together by a ven
ingenious and successful arrangement,
called a slide, which we see has been
patented. We do not see why tin
bales may no. be made as small oi
smaller than the ordinary bales, for tin
simple reason that iron will not stretch.
The only objection against the hoop
perse is this — will it rust and injure
the cotton? We opine that no feat
need be entertained ; for the rain that
will make the hoop rust will rendei
the rope rotten. Besides there seems
to be statements to the contrary.
One other consideration—must al
lowance be made for the iceight of
hoops and fastenings, in favor of the
buyer? It strikes us that the advan
tages of the iton hoop are so many and
so great that factors and speculators,
will demand no deduction. Such we
understand is the position taken by the
Montgomery factors.
And as regards the price ? Our read
ers doubtless feel interested in that
point—well hoops can be bought for
2 or 4 cts. per pound less than rope;
but whether one pound of hoop will
extend farther than one pound of rope
we cannot tell. S.
THE CATTLE DISEASE
Seems'to be spreading. It is advised
to keep on hand spirits of turpentine
with which to wash the month, when
the first symptom j are visible. This
is said to be a specific.
The Cattle Disease. —A correspon
dent oft he Savannah Republican, in a
communication dated Savannah, July
13 It, sys:
Tiiis afternoon I witnessed the death
of a fine cow, and the effects of the clis-!
case which is killing so many cattle j
throughout the country. From the;
particular notice I took of the effects ;
of the disease and the manner in which i
rlie cow was tir&t attacked, I have con- i
eluded that it is a severe cramp in the i
sioiuach, and if a remedy be given ;
when first the symptoms are shown,
many fine cows, etc., can be saved.
The cow I allude to was feeding and
apparently perfectly well, when all ai
once she Became blind (blind staggers)
and turned around several times itud
fell, and showed that she wassuttering
the most excruciating pain in thestom
acli; every muscle quivering, so as in |
draw the stomach almost into a knot,
and within one hoar she was dead.—
Before she died. I examined t he mouth
tad found that tlie gum of the upper
j ivv, between the bp and teeth, lot'*
become black and showed signs bt mot
riticaiion. Willi her mouth open ami
tongue out she died in agony. .
From what I have seen, will you al- ;
low me to propose to all who have a j
covv or cows, to prepare tor theattack. ;
They will have no time to spare after ;
the cow shows the symptoms I have ;
named, to 6end for a remedy, and I
would offer to all to have the follow
ing recipe ready ; it will cost but lit
tle aud may save the lives of many
tine cattle:
Rx. Spts. Camphor, 2 ounces.
Tmct. Opii, 2 ounces.
Spts. Turpentine, 1 ounce.
Hoffman’s Aaodvne, 2 ounces, i
Tinct. Cayenne Pepper, 2 ounces. *
Oil of Peppermint, 1-4 ounce.
Spts. Lavender, Comp., 4 ounces.
Have this prescription put up ready,
aud upon the first signs ot the symp
toms of the disease, give it to the cow
aud then drench her with a strong so
lution of salt, (one quart) and wash the
mouth with a strong solution ot cope
ras or blue stone.

AYER'S CATHARTIC PILES.
The following remedies are offered to the public as
he best, most perfect which meuintl scitm-3 c.-.n
■ fiord. AvKit’s Catiiautu: Pills have beer, jmt
tared with the utmost skill which the nirditsal pro
ession ot this age possess.- ~ and their e iet:t.s_ i-'hir.v
hey have virtues which surpass any combination of
neclieines hitherto known. Other prepir ‘tions do
nore or less good; but this cures such dmgermis
| •omplaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove an
i -fflcacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any
) hir.g which men have known before. By removing
i he obstructions of the internal organs and stimul it-
I ng them into healthy action, they renovate the -mi -
; ains of life and vigor,—health cmfrses naev.- thrum ,h
j lie body, and the sick man is well again. They e.re
> .dapted’ to disease, and disease only, for when taken
j >y one in health they produce but littie c sect. Tnis
j s the perfection of medicine. It is antagonistic to
! Mseasc, and no more. Tender children may v.dte
1 hem with impunity. If they are sick they wi.l cure
j hem, if they are well they will do them no harm,
i Give them to some patient who has been pro-re ‘el
I vith bilious complaint: see his bent-up, tottering nan
I straighten with strength again; see his long-lost appe
tite return; see his clammy features bi
j realth. Give them to some sufferer whose foul hi a
1 has burst out in scrofula till his skin i.s covered ‘ -
] sores; who stands, or sits, or lies in anguish. If n.
; teen drenched inside and out with every pot:"",
j ingenuity could suggest. Give him these Bi: “, ad
nark the effect; see the scabs fall from K ■ .
; che new. fair skin that has grown under them ; •
late leper that is clean. Give them to knn ‘
mgry humors have planted rheumatism in hi- -
tnd hones; move him anti he screeches with pun : he
:oo has been soaked through every muscle of his --tly
; vith liniments and salves; give him these Pill.’ to
’ purify his blood; they may not cure him, for, alas!
| there’are cases which no mortal power can reach ; hut
j mark, he walks with crutches no w, and now he walks
alone ; they have cured him. Give them to the lean,
j’ ;our, haggard dyspeptic, whose gnawing stomach has
ong ago eaten"every smile from his lace and ever*/
.nuseie from his body. See his appetite return, and
with it his health; see the new man. See her that
.vas radiant with health and loveliness blasted and too
early withering away; want of exercise, or mental an
tuish, or some lurking disease, has deranged the inter
nal organs of digestion, assimilation, or secretion, till
they oo their ofiice ill. Her blood is vitiated, her
leaith is gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the ob -
structions, and infuse anew vitality iuto the blood.
Now look again the roses blossom on her cheek,
md where lately sorrow sat joy bursts from every fea
ture. See the sweet infant wasted with worms. Its
van, sickly features teil yon without disguise, and
painfully distinct, that they are eating its life away.
Its pinched-up nose and cars, and restless sleeping-/,
ell the dreadful truth in language which every mother
knows. Give it the Pills in large jloses to sweep
these vile parasites from the body. Now turn again
md see the ruddy bloom of childhood. Is it nothing
to do these things ? Nay, are they not the marvel of tins
sge ? And yet they are done around you every day.
Have you the less serious symptoms of those dis
tempers,“they are the easier cured. Jaundice, Costive
ness, Headache, Sidenche, Heartburn, Foul btnmach,
Nausea, Pain in the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss ot Ap
iet>e, King’s Evil, Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred
‘■omnlaints all arise from the derangements which
hese Pills rapidly cure. Take them persevering!}-,
md under the counsel of a good Physician if \ ou can :
f not, take them judiciously by such advice as we
five you, and the distressing.’ dangerous -diseases they
Jure, which afflict so many millions of the human race,
ire cast out like the devils of old they must bur
ow in the brutes and in the sea. Price 2-3 cents per

Through a trial of many years, and through every
nation of civilized men, Ayku’s Cherky Pectoral
has been found to afford more relief, and to cure more
■ases of pulmonary disease, than any other remedy
mown to mankind. Cases of apparently settled con
iumption have been cured by it, and thousands of suf
crers, who were deemed beyond the reach of human
iid, have been restored to their friends and usefulness,
o sound health and the enjoyments of life, by this all
powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and throat,
lere a cold had settled cn the lungs. The dry, hack
ng cough, the glassy eye, and the p ile, thin features
if him who was lately lusty and string, whisper to : H
mt him Coxsi'Mi’Tiox. He tries eviry thing; but
he disease is gnawing at his vitals, and shows its
atal symptoms more and mere over all his frame.
He is’taking the Cherry Pectoral now; it has
-topped his cough and made his breathing easy; h-s
sleep is sound at night; his appetite returns, at.d v.u n
it liis strength. The dart which pierced his suit- is
broken. Scarcely any neighbor!*.! <:d can be 11 uiul
vhieh has not some living trophy like this to shadow
or th the virtues which have won for the Chekuv Pec
i*oit vl an imperishable renown. But its use:ulnc--s
Ices not end here. Nay, it accomplishes more by pre
vention than cure. The countless/colds and coughs
which it cures are the seed which tvotild have 1 incited
into a dreadful harvest of incurable diseases. Influ-
I enza, Croup, Bronchitis, Hoarseness, ricurisy, W-hocp
! mg Couch, and all irritations of the throat aud lungs
i arc casiiv cured bv the Cherry Pectoral if taken in
| season. ‘Every family should have it by them, and
! they will find it an invaluable protection from the in
sidious prowler which carries o 1 the parent sheep from
; many a flock, the darling lamb front many a hrme.
Authenticated evidence of these facts, with directirns
for the treatment of each complaint, may be found in
Aver’s American Almanac, of which we publish t.ireo
millions, and scatter them broadcast over the earth,
in order that the sick every where may have be.ore
them the information it contains. Druggists t.na
dealers in medicine generally have them J^' r
tion gratis, and also for sale these remedies, prepaud
