itt - WEEKLY CHAT WITH THE
; LITTLE ONES.
- ‘•■ ?’ Well, little Dears, tvhat shall
.£ v r we chat about this week ? about
little fhers/ Ah ! yee, a good sub*
” ject. ])-> yon gee the little deer
which our friend Annie is playing
with, above ? How tame he is to
•L I.V-t'.-ifei! : |V. permit her to stroke liis head so
‘f / - ; gently! lie knows that Annie
i I, would not hurt him f ,r the world.
* : • ‘ Ah, no, Annie is as gentle as a
■■ lawn herself. See what a kind
face she has.
|(W f**. y : ’ Annie has been trundling her
‘is ; hoop, and the young deer, which
. '’ Af v’ -*f sfc Y :r , /, -t } perhaps was nibbling the grass,
V: • ran up to obtain a caress. Did it
know that Annie would not harm
it? Perhaps so. Perhaps they are
’ ’ 1 • old friends; and its instincts told it
that Annie would not hurt it. At
all events, it comes up trustingly
T and fears no evil.. This, children,
is faith.
The Deer considers Annie its friend, and trusts in that friendship. If you
had faith in your friend Jesus, who came to save you, you would go to him
confidently, fearing no evil; and you w'cuhPpur yoi-rseh in his hands, and say,
“I know that my great friend Jesus, can save me; that he will not reject me,
but that he will take me in his everlasting arms and keco me there forever.”
Children, did Jesus ever this kindly receive children ?
Yes, when he was on earth, their mothers brought them to him, and he re
ceived them kindlj, and took them in his arms and blessed them.
O, how good Jesus is. to love little children. He says, “suffer little child
ren to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of Hea
ven.”
Do you knew, children, why it is that the very young and tender fawn* are
not all killed by their enemies ?
Just think of the savage and fierce animals, that feed upon an' 5 trac k the
timid deer! Dogs, especially, track them perseveringlv, by scent they
Dave on the bushes and grass, and when they-catch them devour them ; or
else men, following after on swift horses, shoot them.
Mow we will teh why dogs cannot find the young helpless lawns.
Cod has so ordained it, that the deer decs not leave any scent on the shrubs
or leaves, until it gets of an age when it can outstiip the dog. How kind .
It reminds you that God is taking care c>f you when you cannot
take care of yourselves. O, yon ought to love him and serve him.
Give him your heart in the days of your youth. Remember him now while
you are young, as your Creator,Benefactor, and Preserver,and you will always
love and serve him, and when you diejou will go and live with him forever.
A Child’s Prayer.
Father, bless a little child —
Keep me pure and undefiled;
Thou lias; bid me come to thee—
Christ hath died and purchased me.
Let me ever sing thy praise,
Whether log or short my days;
And at morning, noon and night,
Be pious works my sweet delight.
Make me love all goodness, Lord
Love to read thy precious wo.d;
And at Chinch and Sabbath school,
Punctual be to every rule.
Teach me my parents to obey,
In every thing 1 do or say;
“Behoid me with approving eye,”
And never let me tell a lie.
I thank thee, that thy holy Son
Hath kindly blest each little one,
And taught us words of sacred prayer,
And made us his especial cure.
Then, Fa!her, grant no act is mine,
E’er grieve thy precious Son Divine;
But may my childhood, and my youth,
Be marked by growth iu grace and Truth.

THE STOLEN ROSE.
“ Where did you get that beautiful
rose ?” saicT Amy Heron to her young
er sister Jane, as she came in from an
errand to a neighbor with a rose of rare
beauty and fragrance.
• I found it,” said Jane blushing.
“Where did you find it?”
“In the streets, in front of Mr. Sears’
house.”
“I never saw one of the kind before.
It is singular that it should be dropped
in the street.”
“I picked it up in the street.”
“Show it to mother.”
Jane did not feel disposed to show
it to her mother. Why not ? She
knew that her mother was very fund
of flowers, and the rose in question
was perhaps more beautiful than any
one sue had ever seen.
The reader will see why she did
not like to take the rose to her mo
ther, when something of the history
ol the rose to revealed.
Jane was very fond of flowers —a
pleasing trait in a young person’s char
acter. Mr. Sears had a great many
flowers in his*garden. lie had agreat
many roses in cultivation, —nearly a
hundred varieties. Jane often stopped
as she was passing, and looked at the
flowers through the palings. Mr. Sears
knew that she, loved dowers, and often,
when he was in the garden and saw
her looking at them, gave her a bou
quet.
On the morning on which she bro’t
home the rose, she was standing be
fore the gate, looking at the roses,
when Laura Grcoii came along, and
said, “Why don’t you go in if you are
* 09} *
going?
“1 am not going in. I was only see
ing Low pretty the I wish
*’ lYhy don’t you go in and get cnc ?”
“They don’t “belong to me!”
“Mr. Sears baa so many that he wid
never miss one. If you were to take
half a hundred, he would never miss
them.”
“I don’t want but one.”
“Go and get ir, then.”
“It would not be right: it would
stealing.”
“1 will go iu and get one for you.”
“It would not be right for me to take
it: the partaker is as bad as the thief.”
“Taking a rose is not stealing,” Lau
ra then went into the garden, and,
plucking the rose, offered it to Jane.
“I can’t take it.”
Laura then threw it on the ground
before her and said, “There take it no
and say you found it iu the street.” 1
Jane hesitated for a moment and
then picked up the rose, gave Laura
a nod of acknowledgement and went
on her way.
She did not enjoy the beauty of the
rose. When she told her eister that
she found it in the street, she knew
that she intended to deceive her.
Sue knew that the guilt of falsehood
consisted in the intention to deceive.
It is not strange that she did not wish
to take the rose to her mother.
It may be said, TV hat harm was
there in taking a rose from one who
had so many ? The harm did not con
sist in the value of the rose. So far
as Jane was concerned where was the
wrong-doing? She did well to reiuse
to go into the garden and take a rose
without liberty. She did well in re
fusing to let Laura r akc one for her. —
She began to depart from well doing
when she picked up the rose. She de
parted widely from veil-doing when
she deceived her filter. The act of ta
king the rose was a small matter; but
it led to the violation of a great prin
ciple. L. M.
AFFECTING
Baptism of a uying Girl. —The
Albany Express says ’
On Sunday morm several young
folks were baptized ;n Rev. Dr. Mu
goon’s Church. The first person who
was baptized was a young girl, per
haps sixteen years old, in tne last sta
ges of consumption. She was literally
arrayed in her grave-clothes, it being
understood that the white robe in
which she was baptized was to be
worn by her when she was placed in
her coffin. She obtained her mother’s
permission to be baptized, and then
acquainted her pastor with her desire.
Sue was brought to the pool in the
arms of her Lucie, attended by her
mother, and lifted in the arms of the
pastor who gently immersed her, after
repeating the usual words. The scene
was very affecting, causing some of
the spectators to weep with emotion.
She was so far gone that it was feared
she might expire during the ceremony
yet after it was perlormed she ex
pressed a wish to be brought to the
church in the afternoon, to partake of
the Loid's supper, which was granted.
After supper, when, in another room,
she sung the doxology, “Praise God”
anu when in her carnage Magoon ask
ed her how she felt, she whispered,
“I have fought a good fight.”
IS IT NOT SO ?
Some children, and not a few grown
people, carry about with them the char
acteristics of animals. Some are like
dogs—forever growling or barking.—
Others are as cunning and sly as the
fox.
Charley is like a cat, —very good if
you let him have his own way ; but
cross him in the least, and then look
out for the claws !
But 1 want to tell you more partic
ularly about Julia, who is very mulish
in her disposition. She is always in
trouble at school arid unhappy at home.
You can guess at the reason by the
hint I have given. She will not be
driven, —nor coaxed either, unless it
suits her. Julia is blind to her own
failngs, and will not be convinced of
her blindness.
She is, however, very affectionate ;
and on that we base our hopes of her
future improvement; for where we
truly lute, we are anxious to please,
without considering whether every re
quest is couched in language most
agreeable to us.
Little girls ant boys must learn to
be tractable if they would be beloved.

Caloric Engines on Street Railways.—
Captain Ericsson, of Iv*w York, lias nearly com
pleted what he calls a OAuiic Horse, to draw
cars on City- Railroads. Hie plan of it is des
ribed as foilows: The- ’ a caloric engine
constantly at work, puruni ’goil into a vessel,
in which there is air, urv a very high pres
sure, to afford the ‘■“'"'“■"'e elasticity. Two
small cylinders, with their connections, are
worked by the oil, exhaus <: -g it into a vessel,
from which the caloric no pumps it back
into the high-pressure i .voir. The engine
has been tried and is said .o h;.ve worked fully
up to what had been stipulated, and was satis
factory to those for whom it was built. Its des
tination is the city of Havana, in Cuba.
The Egg in tiie Bottle.— The London Field
explains the mystery, of an egg in a bottle, which
has often puzzled people. This is how it is got
there:
“Take a good sound egg, place it in strong
vinegar and allow it to remain twelve hours. It
will then become soft and elastic. In this state
it can be squeezed into a tolerably wide-mouth
ed bottle ; when in it must be covered with wa
ter having some soda in it. In a few hours this
preparation will restore the egg nearly to its
original solidity, after which the liquid should
be poured off and the bottle dried.”
You need not tell any one that the hen laid it
there while in a soft state. Leave the puzzled
to guess it
The maple sugar crop of Vermont this sea
son is estimated at nearly tifteen hundred tons.
The run of sap this year has been remarkable.

SUPER PHOSPHATE OF LIME
NO. 1, EXTRA,
Prepared hy the Penn City Manufacturing Cos.
Penn City Chemical Works.
IN recommending this Superior Fertilizer to the atten
tion of farmers and others interested in agriculture,
we claim for it the advantage of being perfectly reliable,
(much superior to any other article sold under the name
of Super-Phosphate of Lime,) and one thatjthe farmers
can dmiend upon as being what its name purports, N r
1 EXTRA Article; this Company, owning the eii’c-
Patent Right (granted by the Linked States) for run to
iug a free Phosphoric Acid, thereby enablingkion of
produce a Soluble Phosphate of Lime by the nutriment
Phosphoric Acid, (whicu is the indispeusahil of Vitrol
of all plants,) instead of Sulphuric Acid richer and
(as heretofore used.) It is therefore a rjt only do more
more reliable manure, and one that wif will’ last longer
good at first than any other manure, 1
in the soil. ( Ga., Nov. 20,1859.

rows with a Scutter Plow ; plough pretty deep,
sralet hands follow after and scatter the Phosphate, and
others with plows, and bed on, as part of it was sown
along the furrows. I want you to send me nine tons
more for next Spring; I think the prospect very good to

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
fitswith 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 tlie 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
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Notliern prices.

A WORD TO THE SUFFERING.
The Rev. William Cosgrove, while laboring as
in Japan, was cured of Consumption,
when all other means had failed, by a recipe eb
tainad from a learned physician residing in the
great city of Jeddo. This receipt has cured great
numbers who were suffering from Consumption,
Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Coughs, and Colds, and
the debility and nervous depression caused by
these disorders.
Desirous of benefitting others, I will send this
recipe, which I have brought home with me, to all
who need it, free of charge.

SOUTHERN CORDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF TIIE BOWELS,
IS a compound of Southern Vegetables long since
known to the Medical Faculty, as a remedial
agent for the above diseases, but never before so
happily compounded. It stands alone on its own
merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All the Proprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This is the best tastimony, as
thousands who have used it will testify.
For further particulars apply to those who have
used it. and be satisfied that it is not a humbug,
but a good, safe, and very efficacious medicine lor
the diseases for which it is recommended.
A liberal deduction made to wholesale dealers,
or Planters.
All Cash orders filled and forwarded forthwith,
by express.
A supply kept constantly on hand.

CANCER CURED.
rTIHE subscriber continues to cure the various
X forms of Cancers and Fistulas, without the
knife. Patients frequently stay at home till death
stares them in the face, before they seek relief,
but then nine times out of ten they are beyond
the reach of all remedies. Apply in time and he
will insure a cure in every case. This is no Yan
kee tiick to take their money, for in all reasonable
cases he warrants a cure, AND IF NO CURE, NO
PAY.
He has cured quite a number in the last five
years, many of them of several years standing,
and even thought to be hopeless, for which he
could add some very interesting certificates and let
ters, but thinks it useless. Come and see for
yourselves. All applicants must apply In person,
and be prepared to remain a month or two under
his immediate care.
Communications will receive prompt attention.
