WEEKLY CHAT WITH THE LIT
TLE ONES.
OUR FACTORY SABBA.TII SCHOOL.
My dear little readers, would you
like to hear something of our Mission
Sabbath School? Methinks I heat
yoiusay y es - So I wiil give )’° n a
of our expet iences—and if they prove
acceptable, you may at some future
time hear more.
You must know a very large pro
portion of our poorer population,^con
sists of oir factory operatives. These
people are a distinct class —they min
gle but very little with any other class
of society—rather hold themselves
aloof. The members of our jpburcb
endeavored for a long-time to induce
them to attend our church, and send
their children to our sabbath school.
A few came, but very ftw. They gave
us an excuse that they could not dress
as fine as we did, and therefore did not
like to come among us. After much
unavailing effort, we concluded, as
they would not come to us, that we
would go to them. We then estab
lished a Mission Church at their very
doowfs —engaged a Missionary to
preach to them, and our members
enlisted as teachers in the sabbath
school. Now we have a very intep
esting school—but we find great ditfi
cuity in procuring teachers in suffi
cietit numbers, who will attend jiutJC
tually and conscientiously. Ah ! are
there not too many of our voting mem
bers who a'e sinfully indifferent or
forgetful of their duty in this respect,
wh<> are too much “at ease in Zion ‘'f
Our superintendent has a good
voice, and the children have learned
many appropriate songs, adapted to
lamil ar airs; although they do not sing
artistically ; yet it is very pleasant to
hear them join in singing the praises ol
Him , who 1 ves little children, and
invites them especially to come to Him.
We use many means to perpetuate
their interest in the sabbath school,
such as offering premiums for regular
attendance and good scholarship.
Last year the superintendent prom
ised a handsome Bible to the pupil
who should commit the greatest uum
her of verses of scripture to memory,
within a few months. One of the girls
ga'ried the prize, by memorizing the
whole of the Book of Matthew, and a
poition of Mark, while engaged at her
loom in the Factory. In November I
offered a fine copy of Butiyan’s Pil
grim’s Progress to any one of my class
wJio should commit the whole of the
sermon outlie Mount, by Christmas—
it was won just as the other was. An
other one of my class, although obliged
to spell out every word as she reads,
can lepeat whole chapters of the New
Testament, without a mistake. She
said she learned them while at work,
by keeping tier Bible open before her.
Just think of this my young friends!
You who, perhaps, have nothing to
do, but amuse yourselves, scarcely
learn a dozen verses t>f the holy Bible
during the year, while these poor pale
faced children are laying up treasures
of heavenly wisdom; although sur
rounded by the stifling heat and dust
of a factory, and almost deafened by
the unceasing din of machinery. Shall
not the example of these children ot
toil, “provoke you to good works?'’
Why, even if you were to learn but
one verse at each meal, as our dear
mother used to require us to do, when
we were children—you would commit
to memory during the year, more than
a thousand verses. Try it now, and
see how much you will accomplish. —
I know your Christian parents would
like to hear you repeat a sweet verse
ot scripture at each meal. You will
thus not only feed the body, but the
soul.
Do you not think it much better for
these Factory children thus to lie lay
ing up stores of scriptural knowledge,
than to be playing about the streetr
on God’s Holy Day, learning only
what will lead to death and hell ?
I have heard our beloved pastor re
late an incident that occurred during
some of his visits among these people,
lie said he was conversing with an old
crone, who was any not pi .us herself,
with regard to the benefits accruing
from church and sabbath school. —
“Well sir,” said she, ‘T must confess
when lsee these children, who used t<
be always fighting and quarrelling
Sunday afternoon, gathered togethei
now, trying to see which can repeat
the greatest number of verses by
heurt, l think there must be some yooa
in it!”
(Jar teachers universally testify that
their scholars are invariably attentive ,
and anxious to learn, far more so than
the children of parents in the highei
grades of society. And how can we
prevent our heart yearning over these
young immortals, when we seethe lit
tie eyes sparkle and dance, and theii
taces beam as they listen attentive!}
to our expositions of scripture !
L ist Sabbath, in addition to my own
class, I took charge of that of an
absent teacher, who expects to be gone
all summer. “I sat down among them,
and commenced by telling them that
they must continue to come regularly,
as I would endeavor to procure a teach
er for them, or else teach them my
selt. ’ A deep shadow of sorrow and
regiet settled on every young face in
an instant, for they love their teacher.
1 turned to one little creature to hear
her repeat,but as she did not speak, I
peered under her hat, to see what was
the matter, the big tear drops was rain
ing down on her little book—her dis
appointment was so great. Another
one, a large girl said: “Will Miss S.
think we are bad girls, while she is
gone?” “No? no! said I, I’ll write
and tell her how well you behave, and
you must gratify her by gaining the
for attendance while
she is absent?” “Please ma’am, said
she eagerly,” “tell her one of the girl,-
wanted me to go over the river after
blackberries to-day, but I wouldn’t go
J came to school. 5 I felt the tears
stai t to my own eyes, as I promised her.
I could but realize what great respon
sibility it was, to possess such an in
fluence over the heariu and minds of
these poor little creatures, iliey ap
pear to feel that we love them, and to
reciprocate the feeling.
One of my girls said she would love
to read at night, if she had the books;
so I lend her histories and other im
proving books, which she reads after
her fatiguing day’s work is done. —
Now, my young readers, do you think
you value your superior advantages as
you should ? Do you try to improve
every opportunity of gaining instruc
tions as earnestly as these children do
the only one they have —the sabbath
school? Recollect little ones—“to
whom much is given, of them shall
much he required !” Beware ! lest at
the Last Great Day, these poor little
Factory children “rise up in judgment
against you and condemn you.”
“CHUCK-FULL OF THE BIBLE.”
A writer once told of a good boy who
went to sea. One of the counsels
which his pious mather gave him
when he left home was, Never drink
a drop of spirits.
The sailors used strong drink several
times every day. When it stormed,
they thought they must use it more
freely to keep from taking cold. So
they offered it to the boy, but he re
fused to drink. During a severe storm,
when they were all very wet, the}
urged the lad very hard to drink.—
They were afraid that he would take
cold and die. But lie declared that
he would not. Finally, one of the sai
lors, who had never tried liis hand at
making the little temperance hero
drink, said that he knew he could
make him take a dram. So he went
to the brave lad, and did his best.to in
duce him to take a little / but he would
not touch a drop. He told the old
sailor of his mother’s counsel. Never
drink a drop spirits / and he quoted
Scripture to show that he was doing
right, for he had been a good Sabbath
School scholar. The sailor had scarce
I v ever heard so much of the Bible in
his life as the little fellow poured into
his ear. All he could reply was, “Your
mother never stood watch on deck.”—
He. gave it up, however, as a bad bu
siness, and went back to his post. On
being asked how he succeeded, “Oh,”
said he, “you can’t do anything with
him, for he is chuck full of the Bible .”
tiifTniTw KEY.
“Aunt,” said a little girl, “I believe
I have found anew key to unlock peo
ple’s hearts, and make them so will
ing.”
“What is the key ?” asked her aunt.
“It is only one little word : guess
what.” But aunt was no gruesser.
“It is pleases said the child ; “aunt,
it is please. If I ask one of the great
girls in school, ‘Please show me my
parsing lesson,’ she says, ‘O yes ! and
helps me. It I ask Sarah ‘Please do
this for me no matter, she’ll take hei
hands out of the suds, and do it. If I
ask uncle, ‘ Please ,’ he sa\s, ‘Yes, puss,
it I can. And if I say, ‘Please aunt”
“What does aunt do?” said aunt her
self.
“Oh ! you look and smile just like
mother, and that is the best of all,”
cried the little girl, throwing her arms
round aunt’s iKek, with a tear in her
eye.
Perhaps other children will like to
know about this key; and I hope they
will use it also, for there is great powei
in the little kindness of life.
From the Sunday School Gazette.
ABE YOU IN EARNEST?
There was a miniature cannon bro't
into the parlor the other day. Many
a time had that same little cannon
made itself heard on the Fourth ol
July, and little Sarah couched down
behind her aunty’s chair, frightened
at the very r look of the mimic than
derer.
“Get up, Sarah,” said aunty. “Don’t
be foolish. It can’t hurt you.”
“I’m afraid.”
“Aunty’s in earnest; it will not hurt
you.”
Strengthened by the double assur
ante, the child quitted her hiding
place, and in a few moments was play
ing beside the object of her terror.
True faith only- requires that we
should believe God to be in earnest.
•r. v.
AN ANGEL \Vmi BOOTS ON.
There is no accounting for little
children’s inventions and explanation
of things. Two little jr titles were
looking out of the window at a weath
e vane on the top of the steeple of a
Universalist church. The weathervane.
which was put up there to tell which
way the wind blew, was in the shape
of a man with boots on. The childien
wondered what it could be. “Is it an
angel ?” says one. “No,” said the oth
er, “it can’t he an angel, because an
gels have wings, and angels don't wear
boots.” “Oh,” said the first, “I'll tell
you what it is. Its a Universalist an
gel, with boots on, going to heaven
afoot.
BEHOLD ME.—lsa. Lxv. I.
He who in the days of his flesh said,
“Come unto me,” long before, by the
lips of his prophets, had said, “Behold
me,” —“Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth.” To
himself he would turn our eye; for it
is in looking that we are saved and
blest, just as it is in believing that we
are tilled with all joy and peace.—
“Looking unto Jesus” is the posture of
a saved sinner and of a growing saint.
l>y eye and by ear, blessing pours into
the soul; the more continuous and in
tense the gazing, the greater the con
solation, and the joy, and the likeness
to the object gazed upon.
The sands are many, and the stars
are many, and the leaves of the trees
are many, and the drops of the sea are
many; but our sins are ruoie than all
these together.
It Saved my Life.—Such is the repeat
ed testimony of hundreds of persons of all
aores, with regard to the tragic effect of
Perrv Davis’ Pain Killer. When eveiy
medicine fails, this seems to posits a per
fect charm over the various diseases inci
dent to mankind. Sold by druggists gen

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 a first-rate Dental Olfice. 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.

SOUTHERN CORDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF THE 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
hippily compounded. It stands alone on its own
merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All the Pioprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This is the best tastiinony, 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 w hich it is recommended.
A liberal deduction made to w holesale dealers
or Planters.
All Cash orders filled and forwarded forthwith,
by express.
A supply kept constantly on hand.

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

• the world ever invented, so constructed as
to fully meet the demands of families, for general
use.

of order. ,

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 Machiue 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 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 mow
beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine. For sale by

(JUST PUBLISHED.)
Suggested by a Tour Through the Holy Land.
By 11. B. Hackett, Professor in Newton Theo
logical Institution. A New Edition, greatly en
larged and improved. 12mo, Cloth, sl.
The first editions of this work had an extensive
sale, and received universal commendation. In its
present enlarged and improved form, it is invalua
ble to every student of the Bible, especially to
ministers and Sunday School teachers.
“The work befits the character of its author.—
Simple, chaste, diiect, accurate, thorough, devout,
it brings before the mind the scenry,the custom?,
the institutions and the manners of the Bible lands,
with remarkable freshness and beauty.”—lnde
pendent.
“A standard work for Students of the Bible, a
most timely aid to the teachers in our Sunday
Schools, and convenient always for family refer
ence.”—Christian Examiner.
Prof. Hackett’s accuracy is proverbial. We can
rely on his statements with a confidence which is
in itself, a pleasure. He knows and appreciates
the wants of readers; explains the texts which
need explanation; and, on the authority of bis
own vision imparts to his readers the knowledge
which they require. He gives life like pictures,
instead of dry details, and charms while he in
structs.—Bib. Sacra.
