* Rioh though Poor.
No rood of land in all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
Nor treasures rare, nor gems, nor gold,
Do any keep for me ;
As yesterday I wrought for bread,
So must I toil to-day;
Yet some are not so rich as I,
Nor I so poor as they.
• ’ On yonder tree the sun-light fall*;
The robin’s on the bough, •
Still I csn bear a merrier note
Than he is warbling now :
* He’s but an-Arab of the sky,
And never lingers long;
But that o’erruns the livelong year
> With music and with song.
Come, gather round me, little ones,
And as I sit me down,
With shouts of laughter on me place
A mimic regal crown:
Say, childless king, would I accept
Your armies and domain,
Or e’en your crown, and never feel
These tiny hands again ?
There’s more of honor in their touch
And blessing unto me,
Than kingdom unto kingdom joined,
Or navies on the sea ;
So greater gifts to me are brought
Than Sheba’s Queen did bring
To Him, who at Jeresalem
Was born to be a King.
Look at my crown and then at yours;—
Look in my heart and thine :
How do our jewels compare—
The earthly and divine ?
Hold up your diamonds to the light,
Emerald ana amethyst;
They’re nothing to those love-lit eyes,
Those lips so often kissed!
Oh! noblest Homan of t'jem all,
That mother good and wise,
Who pointed to her little ones,
The Jewels of her eyes.
Four sparkle in my own to-day,
Two deck a sinless brow:
How grow my riches at the thought
Os those in glory now.
And yet no rood of all the earth,
No ships upon the sea,
No treasures rare, nor gold, nor gems,
Are safely kept for me :
Yet I am rich—myself a king!
And here is my domain :
Which only God shall take away
To give me back again:

TRUTHFULNESS.
Two country lads came at an early
hour to a market town, and arranging
their little stands, sat down to wait for
customers. One was furnished with
fruits and vegetables of the boy’s own
raising, and the other supplied with
clams and lish. The market hours
passed along, and each little merchant
saw with pleasure his stores steadily
decreasing, and an equivalent in silver
bits, shining in his little money cup.
The last melon lay on Harry’s stand,
when a gentleman came by, and pla
cing his hand upon it; said : “What a
line large melon; I think I must have
this for my dinner. What do you ask
• for it, my boy ?”
“The melon is the last I have, sir ;
and though it looks very fair, there is
an unsound spot on the other side,”
said the boy, turning it over.
“So there is,” said the man ; I think
I will not take it. But,” he added,
looking into the boys fine open coun
tenance, “is it very business like to
point out the defects of your fruits to
customers ?”
“It is better than being dishonest,
sir,” said the boy, modestly.
“You are right, my little fellow ; al
ways remember that principle, and you
will find favor with God, and man also.
You have nothing else I wish for this
morning, but I shall remember your
little stand in future. Are those clams
fresh ?” he continued, turning to Ben
Wilson’s stand.
“Yes, sir; fresh this morning. I
caught them myself,” was the reply ;
and a purchase being made, the gen
tleman went away.
‘'Harry, what a fool you was to show
the gentleman that spot in the melon.
Now, you can take it home for your
pains, or throw it away. How much
wiser is he about these clams I caught
yesterday? Sold them for the same
price I did the fresh ones. He would
never have looked at the melon until
he had gone away.”
“Ben, I would not tell a lie, or act
one either, for twice what I have earn
ed this morning. Besides, I shall be
better off in the end, for I have gained
a customer, and you have lost one.”
And so it proved, for the next day
the gentleman bought nearly all his
fruit and vegetables ofHarry, but nev
er invested another penny at the stand
of his neighbor. Thus the season pass
ed ; the gentleman finding he could
always get a good article of Harry,
continually patronized him, and some
times talked with him abDUthis future
hopes and prospects. To become a
merchant was his great ambition, and
when the winter came on, the gentle
man wanting a trusty boy for his store,
decided on giving the place to Harry.
Steadily and surely he advanced in the
confidence of his employer, until, hav
ing passed through various gradua
tions of clerkship, he became at length
an honored partner in the firm.
[Examiner.
PLEASANT WORDS.
1. They don’t cost much. They
come bubbling up in a good natured
heart, like the freely gushing waters
of a fountain. • It is as easy to speak
them as it is to breathe. They come
forth as naturally, and easily, from the
lips of- kindness, as the rays from the
sun. There is no painstaking about
the matter. These kind .words leap
forth of themselves, and delight to fly
away in every direction, on their er
rands of love.
2. They make the man happier that
uses them. They react, upon him.—
Hot words make the user’s wrath hot
ter- So loving words make love glow
warmer in the bosom. They are fuel
to the sacred flame.. Loving .words
l\elp to make a more and more loving
heart. Hindi words . make kindness
dbre and more the law of the soul.
3. Kind and pleasant words tonch
other people’s hearts, and make them
kind. They fall', like flakes of fire on
the cold and selfish hearts of others—
not to scorch, but to melt—not to irri
tate, but to subdue and shame people’s
coldness-and unkindness out of them.
Under 1, such words grim visages relax,
their icy outlines are dissolved, and
the soul that had been frozen to the
core, gets thawed out; and he who
had the gloomy December on his vis
age, is not long in getting a genial June
in the place of it.
4. Pleasant words beget other words
like themselves in other people. We
have been in a crowded omnibus. A
few snappish, sulky words have multi
plied their species, till most of the trav
elers have taken shares in the same
stock. But a genial soul enters. His
kind words get wings. They produce
an epidemic. Growler number on'e,
and growler number two, change voice
and visage. The magic of a few kind
words has done wonders. 11l nature
has jumped out of the coach, and is off
for parts unknown ; and good nature
keeps all things in excellent trim for
the rest of the trip.
If all this is so, then let us fling up
our caps into the air and go into a rev
olution. Hot words, and sharp words,
and snappish words, and fretful words,
have had the sceptre long enough. —
Let us overset the government, and
put the dominion into better hands.—
Pleasant words, born of kind and lov
ing hearts, are to be welcomed back to
supremacy. They will fill the throne
with honor. And all the people will
have occasion to sav —“Let not such a
kingdom come to an end.”
[Boston Traveler.
THE LITTLE ONES AT PRAYER.
A little child knelt near the broken
lattice. Casting a glance at the sleep
ing form of her father, she clasped her
wan hands, and murmured—
“o God, make father leave his evil
ways—make him my own dear father
once again! Make mother’s sad looks
go away, and make her old smile come
back; but thy way will be done.”
Just then the mother entered the
room ; and taking her husband by the
arm, she said:
“Hearken to Minnie ; she is pray
ing.”
“O God, make father love me as
once he did ; and make him forsake
his bad ways!” murmured the little
one again.
“O, Paul—husband !” cried the mo
ther ; “by our past joys and sorrows,
by our marriage vows, our wedded
love, blight not the life of our little
one ! O, let us all be happy again !”
The conscience-stricken man bowed
his head and wept. Then, elasping
his hands, he said :
“With God’s help, you will never
be made to sorrow on my account
again.”
And he kept his vow.-[Evangelist.
TO PARENTS.
Your children are men in miniature.
A few seasons come and go, and those
who are in the nursery, or in the glee
of childhood, are treading the theatre
of the world, and mingling in the
changing and solemn drama of life’s
eventful scenes! As the child pas
ses through these flying periods, you
are most generally able to see the fu
ture man. In conformity to the early
impressions and the bias which the
mind takes, so will the forming future
character of the man grow and fix it
self. This great law is found in the
mortal government of God, and its re
sults proclaimed in terrible language
by evil parentage, training, and gov
ernment. It is utterly impossible to
prevent our children from being moul
ded in exact conformity to the bias and
impressions you give them. These
will govern: they will be masters.—
You cannot counteract their shaping
moral power. If you imprint the love
ly image of virtue, and the sweeter
and lovelier impress of society, in child
hood, as to give the balancing power
to character, you will see the same im
age, bold, beautiful, distinct in the
man. If you deform the character in
childhood by vicious principles, and
their results, you are able to determine
even in childhood, the full-grown man,
his habits fixed, his character stereo
typed, his destiny decided. Such is
usually the power of first principles in
givingbias and formation to the ulti
mate man. Washington is an eminent
and lovely illustration of this great
principle. In childhood his teachings
and impressions were of the right
stamp, and they moulded his character
and decided his destiny! And what
a sublime one it was! Napoleon, the
terror of all Europe, is a terrible ex
ample of the opposite result. By the
power of early impressions and asso
ciations, the destiny of that great cap
tain and warrior was decided.

Extract from Preface:
‘•Reader, thou hast here presented to thee, in a
cheap and readable form, the choice sayings of one
of the King’s mighties. The great divine who
wrote these precious sentences was of the race of
the giants. He was head and shoulders above all
the people, not in his stature (like Saul), but in
mind, and soul, and grace. Treasure these gems,
and adorn thgself with them, by putting them into
the golden setting of holy practice, which is the
end the writer always aimed at. Use these ‘smooth
stones’ as David of old, and may the Lord direct
them to the very forehead of thy sins, for this is
the author’s main design!”

work, by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon ;
“A book whose theme is Jesus is ever welcome
to a place in my library. For this reason I hailed
with pleasure the advent of this precious volume.
I sat down to read it, and soon discovered its
beabty; it was a feast of fat things, a season long
to be remembered. I have read it again and
again, and wovld desire to adore the Holy Spirit
for that gracious unction which rested upon me in
its perusal. ******
“Would you have perfume ?—here it is. How
sweetly doth ‘my Master’ sound! ‘My Master!’—
As ambergris leaves a rich scent, so do these words
a sweet content; an Oriental fragrancy—‘My Mas
ter !’ Would you have beauty ?—here are glimp
ses of the‘Altogether lovely.’ Would you hear
music?—listen to the harmony of the sweet verses
in this book. In fine, would you learn the road
to Heaven ?—God helping you, you may find it
here. Believe me, gentle reader, your faithful
friend. C. H. SPURGEON.

A CARD*
THE undersigned feels it his duty to render
thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ing counties, for their liberal and extensive patron
age. While he begs a continuance of their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that
many years practice in the principal cities of the
South and a comple'te Dental Laboratory, enable
him to make as elegant and perfect Dental substi
tutes of the most approved and latest style, as
can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“STYLE OF CHEAP WORK.”
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 afirst-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
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

“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.

Every article sold by us will be warranted, and if

ted to the display of the best collection of

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
of 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 audfacility that it sewsa straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute.
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
