THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
Good Advice.
BY A QUAINT OLD POET.
Ye who would save your features florid,
Lithe limbs, bright eyes, unwrinkled forehead,
From age’s devastation horrid,
Adopt the plan—
’Twill make in climates cold or torrid,
A hale old man.
Avoid in youth luxurious diet;
Restrain the passion’s lawless riot,
Devoted to domestic quiet,
Be wisely gay;
So shall ye, spite of age’s fiat,
Resist decay.
Seek not in Mammon’s worship pleasure.
But find your richest, dearest treasure,
In books, friends, music, polished leisure :
The mind, not sense,
Make the sole scale by which you measure,
Your opulence.
•
This is the solace, this the science,
Life’s purest, sweetest, best appliance,
That disappoints not man’s reliance,
Whatever his state;
But challenges with calm defiance,
Fame, fortune, fate.
A Cure for Discontent.
“ Oh, mother !” said little Clara, “I
got so tired eating just bread and but
ter and potatoes for my supper, and
drinking only cold water out of this
tin cup ? You do not know how beau
tiful Mr. Carrington’s table looked to
night when I went home with the work.
They were just taking supper, and
asked me into the dining room to get
my money. Every thing was so bright
and sparkling. The tea-things were
silver and the plates china; and little
Ellen who is no bigger than I am, bad
a cup of cotfee and a little silver cup
for water too. There were such nice
things on the table—fresh fish, and
chicken, and everything so good!—
Don’t you wish we were rich people
too, mother ?”
“My little girl must keep ‘giant Dis
content’ out of her heart if she would
be happy. We must be contented to
live in the sphere in which God has
placed us, for he knows a great deal
better than we do what is best for us.
If you had been with me this morning,
Clara, and had seen what I did, you
would feei more thankful for your good,
wholesome supper of fresh bread and
butter and mashed potatoes.”
“Where did you go, mother ! Down
tb see poor Margaret again ?”
“Yes, iny dear, and found her worse
than ever. She can not go out wash
ing any more, and her two little chil
dren were almost starving. All they
had to eat yesterday were some turn
ip-parings Johnny gathered from the
street.”
“Oh, mother, how dreadful!” said
little Clara, her eyes filling with tears.
“I wish I could take my supper to
them.”
“They are well provided for now. A
kind gentleman for whom 1 have been
sewing, has sent them provisions
enough to last several weeks. You
should have seen how the poor wo
man’s eye lighted up with joy at the
gift, and how eagerly she supped the
bowl of warm gruel I made for her.
“When we are tempted to fret, Cla
ra, and envy those who are better olf
than we, it will be a great help to re
member how many are in a great deal
worse condition. You have read the
sweet little story about the ‘Shepherd
of Salisbury plain.’ You know his
little daughter felt ‘so sorry for those
poor people who had no salt to eat on
their potatoes,’ while they had ‘a dish
quite full of it.’
“Cultivate the same spirit my little
girl, and it will make even a dry crust
taste sweeter than many a rich man’s
dainties.”—[Banner.
How to Forgive.
“Good*by, grandmother,” said young
Stanley; “I am going to the upper
farm, and shall not come home until
day after to-morrow.”
“The Lord go with you, my dear
child,” said the aged grandmother;
“but before you go, I want to know if
you have settled the difficulty with
Mr. Brooks.’”
“I have settled it that I shall have
nothing more to do with him. He has
treated me very badly. Ido not in
tend to treat him badly in return, but
I don’t intend to have anything to do
with him.”
“ Have you forgiven him ?”
“I don’t intend to do him any harm.”
“Have you forgiven him ?”
“He has not asked me to forgive
him. Christ says, “If thy brother
says, I repent, thou 6halt forgive him.’
He has not made any professions of
penitence.”
“ Remember what the Loid says,
‘When ye stand praying, forgive” it
there be any who have trespassed
agaiust you ; for if ye forgive not men
their trespasses, neither will your heav
enly Father forgive you your trespass
es.’ We are allowed to ask forgive
ness for ourselves only as we forgive
others. ‘Forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtors.’ It is not sate for
us to live a single day without being
forgiven. If we would be forgiven
we must forgive others.”
“Well, grandmother, I will try to
do my duty. Good-by.”
The importance, the absolute neces
sity of a forgiving spirit, is not felt as
it should be. The 3 T oung, as well as
the old, need forgiveness, and they
cannot have it while they cherish un
kind and unforgiving feelings, towards
any human being. All anger, malice
and revenge, must be laid aside, if
we are to hope for mercy at the hand
of God.
Children learn many things at school.
One of the most important lessons that
can be learned there, or anywhere
else, is the lesson that teaches us to
forgive those who have done us evil.
It is a blessed lesson. Ho one ever
practiced it without finding an
ing great reward of happiness in his
own spirit.
The young farmer went to the upper
farm. He was busy during the day,
and thought but little of the conversa
tion with his grandmother. At night,
when he came to lie down on his bed
of straw—for there was no house on
the farm, and he was obliged to sleep
in the barn —he thought of what she
had said. He thought of Mr. Brooks
treatment of him, and he became in
dignant. He thought ot his own sins,
und he felt his need of pardon. He
remembered the words ot his Master,
“If ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your heavenly Father for
give you.” He felt that he must for
give Mr. Brooks, even though he did
not turn and say, I repent. He tried
to do it, and failed. lie then laid the
matter before the Savior, and asked
for a forgiving spirit, and continued
asking till he felt that he could forgive
all who had trespassed against him.
Have you not some mattters of diffi
cultv, small or great, with some of
your companions ? Begin at once to
exercise a forgiving spirit, that you
may he forgiven, and that your heart
may be enlarged and purified.
[Child’s Paper.
The Child’s Answer.
Little Nellie L. had lost her father,
and her mother was poor. Her sweet
temper and her winning ways gained
her many friends. Among these was
an excellent lady, Miss N. A glimpse
of Nellie’s bright face peeping in at
the door, always brought a smile of
peculiar tenderness over Miss N.’s
placid features.
She loved to sit by the child, softly
stroking her hair, and while looking
thoughtfully into her smiling eyes,
would often say, “Poor, poor Nellie!”
The child’s heart seemed troubled
by these pitying words, tor she asked
me one day:
“ Why do you call me poor ? Please
don’t, Miss N. I’m not poor —why
I’ve got twenty-five cents and a good
mother ?”
“ Rich little Nellie,” said her friend,
“A good mother! Ah! how long I
was in learning what this little one al
ready knows!”
“A good mother!” Could any earth
ly treasure have made her so truly
rich r {
Secret Religion. —God is often lost
in prayers and ordinances. “Enter in
to thy chamber,” said he, “and shut
tby door about thee.” Shut thy door
about thee means much ; it means—
shut out not only frivolity, but busi
ness; not only the company abroad,
hut the company at borne; it means,
let the poor soul have a little rest and
refreshment, and God have opportuni
ty to speak to thee in a still small
voice, or ho will speak in thunder. —
I am persuaded the Lord would often
speak more softiy if we would shirt
the door.
The Success of. Mr. Spurgeon’s
Ministry. —lion. Ira Harris, of Hew
York, during a recent visit to London,
wrote a letter home, which appears in
the New York Examiner, in which he
speaks of having heard Mr. Spurgeon
preach several sermons, all of which
impressed him most favorably in re
gard to the spiritual as well as mental
power of this extraordinary man. The
Hon. Judge, amongst other eulogistic
remarks, says, that a lady, who sat
near hitn in the chapel, informed him
that when Mr. Spurgeon became pas
tor of Park St. Church, less than five
years ago the number of members was
a little less than 200 and since that
time lie had baptized over eleven hun
dred persons.
Symptoms of a False ok Defic
ient Religion. —l. For a church to
wait for its pastor to dun it for his
salary.
2. For a church to postpone paying
his salary for six or twelve months af
ter the year has closed.
3. For a church to allow her passor
to be dunned when it is in debt to
him.
4. For a church to permit her pastor
to he warranted or sued for bills in
curred for tiie necessaries of life, while
serving them.
5. For a church to withhold its pas
tor’s salary (while liis family is suffer
ing for the necessaries of life,) to pay
borrowed money loaned him by mem
bers, to relieve him, and to he paid at
convenience. This is cruet, and un
just.
0. For a church to pay no attention,
month after month, to its pastor’s re
quest for means of support.
A Definite Number Chosen. —If
God elected any it must have been a
definite number, since all were not
chosen. And all could not be chosen,
for then there were no choice. Every
part of any whole is a definite part;
and any part of any number is a defin
ite number. The number of the whole
human family from the creation to the
last resurrection is to God a definite
number, and he chose a definite part
of that number to holiness and salva
tion. But why lie chose whom lie did
he lias not seen fit to reveal to us.

Hearing through the Throat.—
Notes and Queries relates that a friend,
who is so utterly deaf as to be almost
beyond relief from auy of the mechau
ical inventions now in use for the aid
of persons afflicted with deafness,
walked into a chapel and took his seat
on one of the open benches. He heard
nothing of the sermon then and there
delivered, until, from mere listlessness,
ne placed the rim of the crown of his
hat in his mouth; lie then heard dis
tinctly. lie has frequently repeated
the experiment in the presence of the
writer with the same result; and where
the opportunity is afforded him, lie
places his hat between his lips, and
carries on a conversation, speaking in
the usual way and hearing as described.
The experiment has been made with
marry deaf persons, and generally with
success.
■
A clergyman who found it impossi
ble to provide for himself and family
out of his very slender income, wrote
to a friend “I must give up my living
to 6ave my life.”
The smaller a man’s mind is, the
more inveterate are his prejudices.
Humility is that which keeps all
the graces together.
Endeavor always to serve God.

age. While he begs a continuance of their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that

Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best

artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

IN which its superiority over Peruvian, as a per
manent fertilizer, with equal immediate results,
is demonstrated.
“The principal problem in agriculture is, how to
replace those substances which have been taken
from the soil and which cannot be furnished by
the atmosphere. If the manure supplies an im
perfect compensation for this loss, the fertility of
a field or country decreases; if, on the contrary,
more are given to the fields, then fertility increas
es. We cannot increase the fertility of our fields
by a supply of nitrogenized manures, or salts of
ammonia; their produce increases or diminishes
in direct ratio with supply of mineral elements ca
pable of assimilation.”—Liebig’s Ag. Chemistry.

GROVER & BAKER’S
FAMILY SEWING MACHINES,
Promote the leisure , health and happiness of home.
REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVER
SALLY PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in
• the world ever invented, so constructed as
to fully meet the demands of families, for general
use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable togetout
ol order.
3. It makes a seam which will not rip, though
every third stitch is cut.
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
6. It sews with two needles, making any length
stitch desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the
same Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a
mere change of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread,
and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sewsa straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand live hundred stitches per minute. i
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine. For sale by
