TIIE MECIOUS BIBLE.
What is it shows my soul the way
To realms of everlasting day,
And tells the danger of delay ?
It is the precious Bible. ,
What teaches me I’m bound to love
The glorious God who reigns above,
And that I may his goodness prove ?
It is the precious Bible.
What is it gives my spirit rest
When with the cares of earth opprest,
And points to regions of the blest ?
It is the precious Bible.
What tells me that I soon must die,
And to the throne of Judgment fly,
To meet the great Jehovah’s eye ?
It is the precious Bible.
Oh, may this treasure ever be
The best of all on earth to me,
And still new beauties may I see
In this the precious Bible !
WEEKLY “oil AT WITH TIIE
Little Ones.
Well, young friends, we are glad to
get with you once more. We love the
young people, and it is our delight to
be with them and make them happy.
And the best way by which we can
make them happy is to get them to be
Christians —to come to Christ —to be
lieve on him. But can little children
Repent and Believe ? O yes, we have
a little sister who put her faith in Christ
at 10 years old, and she was baptized
at that age ; and we believe she shows
more and more that she is a Christian,
and we hope she will continue stead
fast unto the end.
That little children may repent we
believe from a little anecdote which
we will call
“ Mamma , whip me”
A loving mamma talked kindly with
her iittle girl, and showed her the way
to be good and obedient. And when
the little child had done any fault, she
confessed it to her mamma, who often
prayed with her. They had a pretty
garden, and beautiful flowers were iu
it, which her papa and mamma took
great care of, and looked at often, and
thought them very precious. This lit
tle girl’s mamma had bidden Emma
not to go into the garden without her
leave, and especially, she must not
touch the lluwers in such a particular
place.
One day her mamma had company,
and she could not watch her child as
closely as she did on other days. In
the evening Emma was very sorrowful
and her mamma could not tell what
ailed her. She thought, and thought,
“What is the matter with my Emma ?”
but could not guess.
At last Emma went to her mamma,
and told her how naughty she was :
she had been among the pretty How
ers. Her mamma was quite displeas
ed, and said she knew that it was
wrong, as she had forbidden her to do
60. She had three ways in which she
might punish her: one was, that she
would not pray with her that night;
another was, that she would not kiss
her; the third was, that she would
whip her.
Little .Emma burst into tears, and
hid her face in her mother’s lap, and
said, “Oh, mamma, pray with mo ;
mamma, kiss me; mamma , whip me
Little Emma tearfully repented. So
much so that she wished to be punish
ed.
But-, we once heard of a still young
er girl joining the church. She was
troubled about her sins and conversed
with her Pastor, saying,
“Oh sir, I have been a great sinner
all my life. Do you think such a sin
ner as 1 can be forgiven ?
/have lived seven years without Christ J
The good minister told her that Je
sus died to take away her sins, if she
would believe in him, love him, and
give him her heart; and then marked
out a few chapters in the Bible for her
to read, and prayed with her.
Soon peace and happiness tilled her
inind. Some time after she told her
mot her she wanted to join the church
Her mother thought she was too young,
and said to her,
“My dear child, I am afraid that
you will go back to the world, and
bring disgrace upon the church ot
Christ.”
With aburstingheartand many tears
she replied,
“Cannot the Lord Jesus keep a child
in the right way as well as a grown
person ? lie has promised to take the
Jambs in his arms, and carry them in
liis bosom. 1 believe in him with all
my heart. I know that 1 love him,
and I want to obey him.”
Her mother could resist no longer ;
she gave her consent, and the girl was
admitted to the church. She still lives,
and lias trained up a large family in the
fear of God. Several of her children
have also become members of the
church.
Do any of our little readers know Bill
Terry ? Perhaps not. He was a bad
boy—nobody would trust him because
he did that which was bad only. Xo
one ever saw him pray.
To see a person pray gives you great
confidence in their leligion and piet}’
and honesty. We remember a story
which we will tell ourlittle readers.—
It is about
- John.
A shipmaster in New York, having
discharged his crew and cargo, wanted
a trusty man to take charge of liis ship
during a few days’ absence in the conn
try. John , a sailor, was recom
mended. But he had no confidence in
Jobn, nor any other sailor ; lie believed
they would all steal when opportuni
ties offered. However, as he could do
no better, after having put every thing
possible under lock and key, he duly
installed John as shipkeeper. Before
leaving the city next morning, hetho’t
lie would take an early peep at his
ship. So he quietly stepped on board,
and, unperceived, carefully opened the
cabin door. There was John on his
knees, with the Bible open before him!
The Oaptaiu as carefully closed the
door, and waited till John appeared,
when he thus addressed him : “John,”
handing him at the same time a bunch
of keyß°from his pocket, “John, you
may open all those drawers and trunks,
and air those things. John, keep a
sharp look-out for those 6camps along
the wharves. John, keep everything
snug ; I’ll be back on Tuesday.”
But we want to give now a letter
just received from a young friend. We
hope he will write again :
Rome, Ga., April 30th, IS6O.
My Dear Friend—lt is with pleas
ure that I 6it down to write to 3’ou,
though you are a stranger to me. I
have had one copy of your paper and
I think it the best paper that a young
man can take —there are so many pleas
ing and interesting pieces. I am sorry
that I can’t get it regular. I hope you
will not get offended at me for what 1
have said about your paper. It is a
good moral paper, one that ought to b’e
relished by every young man or young
lady. Yours Respectfully,
R. J. Fort.
You shall have it regularly after this,
friend R. For we will mail it to you
in your own name.
A PUZZLE SOLVED.
“I don’t see why there are no con
versions in our Sabbath school,” said
Mr. Mills to his wife, as they sat with
their little family around the tea-table
one Sabbath evening.
“I am sure the school has never been
more prosperous, than since you took
the charge of it,” 6he replied ; “ it has
nearly doubled its numbers, and you
have secured a very capable set of
teachers ; and have given them the ex
ample of great punctuality in attend
ance.”
“ Yes, I have not been absent from
my post one Sabbath during the year.
The teachers and scholars are faithful
and prompt in their attendance ; the
lessons are well studied ; and to a
stranger, the school would appear all
that could be wished. But 1 cannot
feel that we are realizing the results
of our labor unless we see the dear
children and youth coming to Christ.
Good seed has been sown; but it does,
not spring up and bear fruit as I ex
pected. lam nuzzled to account for
it.”
“Papa,” said little Charlie, who had
listened only to the last sentence of the
conversation, “has not your seed come
up?”
“ No my child.”
‘‘Was tiie seed good, papa?”
“Yes, Charlie, the very best.”
“ Was it sowed in the Spring when
the ground was tender, papa?”
“It certainly was, my son,”
Charlie paused a moment and tho’t.
lie had a tiny garden which he called
his own. His father had prepared the
ground, and given him a few choice
seeds, and told him how to take care
of them. The little boy had followed
his father’s directions, and was now re
joicing in the success of his labor. —
Hence his earnest questions and his
thoughtful brow. But he was not
long in solving the question to his own
satisfaction. “ Oh, papa,” at length
he said, u you have not watered enough.
When I planted my garden you told
me my seed was good, and if I sowed
it when the ground was tender, ftnd
watered it well, it would come up. —
And when we had that dry time last
June, you said I must water it every
day, and I did. It must be, papa, that
you haven’t watered yours enough.”
“ Charlie is right,” said his father,
to whom the artless words of his little
boy had brought a needed reproof; “I
have sown good seed in my moral gar
den, it is true ; but I have relied t3O
much upon the quality of the seed, and
the favorable circumstances of the
planting, and have sadly neglected to
water it with tears of earnest suppli
cation. Even the precious seed of di
vine truth, though sown in the spring
time of life in the tender heart of child
hood and youth, will not spring up
unless watered by the spirit in answer
to fervent prayer. Henceforth, God
helping me, I will not labor less, but I
will pray more.”*
Is not here a lessen for the parent,
the Sabbath School teacher, the minis
ter of the gospel, and every worker in
the vineyard of the Lord (
DR. LYMAN BEECHEK.
I heard the Rev. Dr. Beecher—while
addressing a congregation, a few years
since, not a hundred miles from Bos
ton, say, “a brother of another denom
ination asked me, on one occasion, if
I were a Christian. I told him I hoped
I was. He said, you “hope so dou’t
you hnoio if you are or are not ?” 1
told him perhaps I did, hut I chose so
to reply.
“Xow,” said he, “how does a man
know whether he is a Christian or not ?”
I took him on his own ground. Said
I, “suppose you throw a needle into a
hay-mow, do you think you can tind
it C He said “no, he could not see it.”
Said I, “suppose you throw in a crow
bar, what then ? Do you think you
could see that ?” He said “yes.”
“Well, said I, “you must have re
ligion enough so it will he seen , and
then it will he known!”—Congrega

LITTLE FAULTS.
A writer thus speaks of the fatal in
fluence of small faults on the peace of
households:
Homes are more often darkened by
the continual recurrence of small
faults, than by the actual presence of
any decided vice. These evils are ap
parently of very dissimilar magnitude ,
yet it is easier to grapple with the one
than the other. The Eastern traveler
can combine his forces, and hunt down
the tiger that prowls upon his path ;
but he finds it scarcely possible to es
cape the musquitoeß that infest the air
he breathes, or the flees that swarm in
the sand lie treads. The drunkard has
been known to renounce his darling
vice; the slave to dress and extrava
gance, her besetting sin ; hut the was
pish temper, the irritating tone, rude,
dogmatic manner, and the hundred
nameless negligences that spoil the
beauty of association, have rarely done
other than proceed till the action of
disgust and gradual alienation has
turned all the currents of affection
from their course, leaving nothing but
a barren track, over which the mere
skeleton of companionship stalks alone.

he will state to those who do not know him, that

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 a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will tiud a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

Up IIIS Institution for the year 1860, will be un
-L der the superintendance of Mr. James C.
Rrown, of Coweta Cos., Georgia, who graduated at
Mercer University at the last Commencement.
He comes highly recommended as a young man
of promise and ability, well prepared to take charge
of an Institution of this character. We solicit for
the sehool under his care, the kind feelings and
patronage of its friends and the public generally.
Cave Spring is, doubtless, as well known to the
public of this State, as well as Cherokee, Alabama,
as a place, beautiful in its scenery, healthful in its
location, and free from the immoral influences to
which many similar villages are subject. It is set
tled up by a moral and quiet population, and is
eminently fitted for a classical Sehool.
The Scholastic year consists of 42 Veeks, and is
divided into two Sessions. The first commences
the third Monday in January, and continues 24
weeks. The second commences on the third Mon
day in July, and continues 18 weeks. The first
session will close with a Public Examination.

SOUTHERN CORDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF TIIE BUWELS,
IS a compound of Southern 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 for
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.
rrillE subscriber continues to cure the various
JL 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 trick 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 w ill receive prompt attention.
Address A. L CLINKSCALES,

He is thankful to the citizens of Macon and sur

mere changepf 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

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.

beautiful than any other made either by hand o
machine. For sale by
