WEEKLY CHAT WITH ‘

W r a very bold man
when King Ilerod enticed his brother Philip’s wife from him and kept her for
his own wife, altho’ his Brother Philip was living, John said to him boldly
and publicly, ‘‘lt is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.” Now this
made Heiod and Herodias very angry, and they put John in prison ; and Iler
odias would have killed him but for fear of the populace. Well, on his birth
day Ilerod made a great supper, and invited his lords, high captains and chief
men; and the daughter of Ileiodias, the Queen, came in and danced in the
midst of the company. Now r , it was very usual for dancing girls to do this. —
You have a picture of one of them at the head ot this article. It was the cus
tom of the East and is the custom there yet. But it was not usual for Queens’
daughters to do so. Well, she danced so well, and pleased Ilerod so much
(because he was flattered by a queen’s daughter dancing to amuse him and his
company), that he swore to give her whatever she asked.
She went and consulted with her mother, who told her to ask for the head
of John the Baptist in a charger.
Look in the picture and you will see a charger; it looks like a silver waiter.
Ilerod pretended to be very sorry when Herodias’ daughter demanded
John’s head ; but he was not really; for he was not bound to keep a promise
that made him break one of God’s laws. Pretending to be a man of his word
and to have respect to his company, (both the poorest sort of excuses for sin
ning), he sent right away and had John’s head cut off and brought in and giv
en to the damsel who gave it to her mother.
Did you ever bear of such wickedness, children ?
To tell the truth, it was all a plot, arranged beforehand, to get John out of
the way with some shadow of an excuse. Herodias had kept him in prison 18
months waiting for some such chance, fearing to kill him lest the people would
rise up and revenge his death, for they hated Herod. It is said that Herodias’
malice and revengeful spirit made her stick her needle in John’s tongue, when
his head was brought to her.
Now, children, how do you suppose God punished them for all this wicked
ness ? Why, he shortly let Herod’s whole army get destroyed, and then let the
Emperor of llome banish them all to the cold inhospitable shore of France,
where Herodias’ daughter attempted to cross a river on the ice, and, breaking
through she sank up to her neck, and the sharp ice, grinding together, cut her
head completely off !—Editor.
“ HOLD FAST TILL I COME.”
It is related that in one of the battles
in the late war with Mexico, a compa
ny of brave soldiers were stationed to
protect a battery, which was capable
of doing great execution upon the ene
my. In the course of the conflict, the
hottest fight raged around this battery;
the Mexicans were determined to take
it, and despatched a large force for that
purpose, and as their cavalry, the pick
ed men of their army, came down with
terrific force upon the little band who
held it, they showed some signs of fal
tering, but loud above the din of bat
tle rang out the clarion voice of their
brave general, as be swept by to attack
the enemy at another point, “Stand
your ground till I can reinforce you,”’
and thus encouraged they held fast,
and beat back their foes, though al
most ten times their own number
Such is the Christian’s position. To
his care are committed the batteries of
his salvation has commanded him,
‘Hold fast till 1 come.’ The hosts of sin
may rage round him ; false doctrine,
corrupt practice ; the ev:l propensities
of his own heart, and the deep deprav
ities of a 6inful world may, each in turn,
or all together, seek to drive him from
his position ; but high above all the
din of conflict, is heard the Saviour’s
voice, sounding out from the heavens,
“Hold fast till I come.” Thus encour
aged, shall he falter? Shall he yield
for a moment to the assaults of the ad
versary ? No ; for He who gives the
charge hath passed into the heavens,
and is no more liable to be delayed in
bis coming ; and when the power of
the foe is strongest, and the tight thick
est, he will come, and rout all his foes,
and then the glory of this overcoming
faith shall be given to those who
remained firm in the conflict—and**
them shall be given thrones and do
minions ; to them, power over the na
tions ; to them, best of all, the Morn
ing Scar , Jesus himself shall be given
as their friend, brother and counselor.
Hold fast, then, till He, our glorious
leader, shall come.
YOU NEVER CAN RUB IT OUT.
One pleasant aflernoon a lady was
sitting with her little son, a white
haired boy flve years of age. The mo
ther was sick, and the child had left
his play to stay with her, and was
amusing himself in printing his name
with a pencil on paper.
Suddenly his busy Angers stopped.
He had made a mistake, and wetting
his finger he tried again and again to
rub out the mark, as he had been ac
customed to do on his slate.
“My son,” said his mother, “do you
know that God writes down all you do
in a book? He writes every naughty
word, every disobedient act, every
time you indulge in temper and shake
your shoulders, or pout your lips; and,
my boy, you can never rub it out /”
The little boy’s face grew very red,
and in a moment tears ran down his
cheeks. His mother’s eye was on him
earnestly, but she 6aid nothing more.
At length he came softly to her side,
threw his arms round her neck, and
whispered, “Can the blood of Jesus
rub it out?”
Dear children, Christ’s blood can
rub out the evil you have done, and
it is the only thing in the universe that
can do it. “The blood of Jesus Christ,
his Son, cleanseth us from all sin.”

WAKE, CHRISTIAN.
Wake, Christian! there is work for thee!
What means thy slumber deep,
When calls for effort fill the air—
O’er land and ocean sweep ?
Hark ! From amid the blended tones
That break upon the ear, —
Are those of earnest, toiling ones,
Fainting for aid and cheer.
And louder far than all besides,
The Master’s voice is heard ;
Bidding thee labor for the lost,
By love and pity stirred.
Wake! what hast thou to do with rest ?
Is this the scene for ease ;
Where Jesus walked lu weariness,
Nor sought himself to please ?
Wake, Christian ! bring thy cheerful toil,
Bring of thy treasured gold ;
Offer thy praises and thy prayers,
In view of love untold.
Wake ! for, behold, the rising light
Os morning gilds the sky !
Its glories call for thankful songs,
For action prompt and high.
Wake, slumberer! lest in fatal dreams,
Thy spirit shall be lost;
And thou, too late, shalt wake to be
Ever with anguish lost.
I’M GOING TO JESUS.
On a straw bed, in a small, unfinish
ed garret in Dublin* not long ago, a
little girl lay dying. A smile of hea
venly up her counte
nance. }n-Ti er thin hand she clasped
her little Bible. “Good-bye; I’m go
ing to Jesus,” she said. By her side
sat her father, once a bigoted Roman
ist, but, through the influence of this
little one’s prayers and instructions,
he had become an earnest Christian.
And there, too, was the mother, speak
ing to her dying child those words of
consolation she herself had taught her.
Where had that poor child thus learn
ed to pray, to teach the gospel, and to
die? In the Mission Ragged School.
And what brought her there? Why,
once in the. winter time they had no
bread at home, and so she went to the
school because she could get a break
fast there ; and now she is eating “ot
the tree ot life, which is in the midst
of the paradise of God.”— Phillips.
THE STRONGEST"LOVE.
A little girl between six and seven
years of age, when on her death-bed,
seeing her elder sister witli a Bible in
her hand, requested her to read re
specting Christ’s blessing little chil
dren. The passage having been read
and the book cl >sed, the child said,
“How kind ! I shall soon go to Jesus;
he will soon take me up in his arms,
and bless me too ; no disciples shall
keep me away.” Her sister kissed her
and said, “Do you love me ?” “Yes,
my dear,” she replied, ‘‘but do not be
angry, I love Jesus better.”
[Arvine's Anecdotes.
The Little Boy's Faith. —A little
boy who had been lost in some of the
dense forests of the West, and was out
all night, gave the following account
of his conduct at the approach of dark
ness: “It grew dark, and I kneeled
down and asked God to take care of
little Johnny, and then went to sleep.”
DYING WORDS.
William Grimshaw.
“ My greatest grief is that I have
done so little lor oesus ; my greatest
joy, that Christ lias done so much for
me.” When Mr. Venn inquired how
he did, he replied, “As happy as I can
be on earth, and as sure of glory as if I
were in it. I have nothing to do but
to step out of this bed into heaven.”
Dr. Judson.
“ I am not tired of my work, neither
am I tired of the world ; yet when
Christ calls me home, I shall go with
the gladness of a boy bounding away
from school.”

THE undersigned feels it his duty to render
thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ing counties, lor 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 complete 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
“STYLEOF 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 find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

CANCER CURED.
rpHE subscriber continues to cure the various
_L 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, bufthinks 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.

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 genera 1
use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable to get out
of order.
8. 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 lengtn
stitch desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of w inding 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 slievesof a coal
with the same ease andfacility 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 Ireefronmll liability to break ir
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine arc more
beautiful than any other made either by hand oi
machine. For sale by
