CHRISTMAS GREETING TO THE
LITTLE ONES.
Well, dear children, this is the last
time we address you this year. Our
intercourse has been most pleasant to
us, and we hope it will be more so next
year, as we shall make extraordinary
efforts to pi—so you.
It is painful to part with you tho’ it
be for a short time only—partings are
always painful when it is friends from
whom we separate ; but we shall sure
ly think much and pleasantly of you,
and our wish shall all the time be that
you are enjoying the holidays. May
old Santa “Claus visit each one of you
and leave a remembrance behind to
cheer your little hearts. May good
Papas and kind, kind Mamas see to it
that each one of you have a merry
Christmas.
Christmas ! who does not love the
name? Children, it should remind
you of jour dear Saviour, who was
born on that day. And for what was
he born ? To bring eternal life and
happiness to each one of you, who love
him and believe on him. Eighteen
hundred and sixty years ago, in alowly
manger, your kind Saviour first saw
the light of earth in his human form.
He came to live a life of shame, ig
nominy and suffering, and to die the
cruel death of the cross, that you chil
dren, might not die, but might have
everlasting life. O love him and serve
him. His Christmas gift of eternal
happiness to all his dear people, is a
Christmas gift worth having ; and it
will be yours if you will only trust
your eternal safety in his hands.
Christmas ! sweet is the sound. For
it reminds of childhood’s sunniest hours
when all was bright and joyous. When
not a doubt or fear bedimmed the fu
ture, nor a sorrow darkened the pres
ent. When kind parents, now dead
and gone, smiled the smile of love and
protection ; when fond brothers and
sisters, and loving, faithful domestics,
hailed the happy morn with glad ex
clamations ; when the bright fireside,
and the romping game, and the highly
prized gift, diffused joy and hilarity
through every heart!
Children, make the most of child
hood’s bappy day. For evil days will
come, when the world will frown,
friends prove treacherous, and fortune
fickle. *
O halcyon days of youth, never, nev
er to return ! Sweet is their memory,
dear their associations! As the per
fumed breezes sometimes pass over a
sunny lake, and with warm breath dis
turb its placid bosom, and makes the
hearts of those who are floating upon
its sufllit waters almost ache with
gratification, so do the recollections of
childhood’s happy hours sometimes
Come across our heart, filling the soul
with the soft, sweet memories of oth
er days, and making our bosom al
most ache with pleasure. But those
days are all gone. Life’s stern battle
is upon us, and its calls are imperi-
Children, now is life’s happy
.May be happj.
To each of you, we wish a
merry Christmas aysi.fi, hannn JSfew

TREASURES IN HEAYEN.
It was night in the city of C .
‘■ The busy tread of the multitude was
hushed in the streets, and one by one
the lights had faded from the dwellings
save here and there—where the hand
of love still lingered through the long
night watches, to soothe a suffering
friend.. The star-gemmed night reign
ed in quiet beauty, and there was
nought to betoken danger to the un
conscious sleeper.
Midnight! and with the slow strokes
of the city clock, rise the deafning peals
of the fire bells and the tumultuous
cries of men, women and children, has
tening to the scene of disaster. On a
broad, beautiful street, far down in
one corner of an extensive block of
stately buildings, the devouring ele
ment commenced its awful work.
With no hand to arrest its fatal pro
gress it hastened on, and the gathered
multitude gazed upou the bright flames
as they burst forth in every direction,
leveling the massive walls.before them,
bidding defiance to the efforts of the
brave, who boldly rushed through ev
ery danger to lessen their fury, or save
from their destructive power their
earthly stores.
As if glorying in its strength it
marched on, mocking the anxiety of
those who looked hopelessly on as they
beheld the fruits of all their labors so
ruthlessly swept away.
In a sick not far distant, lies
one unable to mingle in the general
scene of terror, either to lend a help
ing hand, or encourage and anitnate,
as he well knew how, the des
ponding heart.
Twice, already had he beheld his
earthly substance consumed by fire,
and now established in anew and ele
gant building, he might well hope to
escape a similar loss, but a messenger
from the scene comes to tell him that
his building is wrapped in flames and
nothing can save it from destruction.
Anxiously his wife returns from the
exciting spot, fearful lest so great and
repeated a loss may serve to increase
bis illness. Weary and sadshe enters
the sick room. No shadow of sorrow
rests upon his brow, no murmur es
capes his lips, but when they speak to
him of his loss and recall his form
er misfortunes, he calmly and joyfully
replies, “Well! thank God ! I have a
home in Heaven that cannot burn up.”
Years have passed since then, but
the sick room is vacant, for a better
house not made with hands was pre
pared, and the promise, ‘I will come
and take you to myself,’ had been ful
filled. To-day he lives in his eternal
home. His treasures were laid up in
Heaven, and he has gone to their end
less possession.
Oh thou, whose little earthly
stores are hourly exposed to the raging
flames, that can so soon render thee
homeless, can’st thou, like him, in the
l°°k up and exclaim :
ibank God, I have a home in heaven
that cannot burn up.”
laiw—WteifMu ii ii i mmnmmmimmsag&&£s2Ss
A title to those mansions above is
the only security thou canst have a
gainst becoming one day a poor out
cast, having not where to lay thy head.
Jesus warns thee, lay not up for your
self treasures on earth —but he offers
thee His own glorious Heaven, where
thou mayest safely deposit them. Do
this ! There they will be ensured a
gainst harm and loss, and when the
weary toil of life shall be ended and
earth can offer thee no joys in that
bright and happy land shall a rich
house await thee—and though the ele
ments shall melt with fervent heat,and
the earth also, and the works that are
therein shall be burned up, thou wilt
be able to triumph in an inheritance
incorruptible, undefiled and thatfadetk
not away. G.
A LETTER FROM NEW YORK,
Relative to the Work of Divine grace
among Seamen.
New York, Dec. Ist, 1860.
Mr. Editor : The extension of the
kingdom of Christ, is a subject dear to
every Christian heart, and believing
that your readers are interested in all
that pertains to it, I send some facts
concerning the late remarkable out
pouring of the Holy Spirit among sea
men, pointing to an instrumentality in
the evangelization of the world, to the
importance of which the church is be
ing aroused as never before. By what
class of men can the gospel be so ef
fectually spread, as by those whose
calling takes them to every part of the
earth ? It is said that none have done
more to corrupt the heathen. But
when converted who are better fitted
for missionaries to the same heathen,
than the bold, open-hearted, earnest
minded seaman. Thus we reason, na
turally and truly. Opening the Word
of God, we read, “Because the abund
ance of the sea shall be converted un
to thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall
come unto thee.” It seems here to be
foretold that the conversion of the sea
is to precede that of the heathen gen
erally,{and in Romans, 11: 25, we learn
that when the multitude of the Gen
tiles were converted to the Messiah,
the Jews also would acknowledge him,
and be again received as the people of
God. Thus we see the important rela
tion that the conversion of seamen bears
to that of the whole world. What en
couragement then, to labor and pray
for this object, and the more when we
reflect that nothing so cements nations,
and promotes peace, as the pure gospel.
There has been an increasing religi
ous interest among the sons of the sea,
for two years past. Within that time,
200 seamen and 100 other members
have been added to the Baptist Marine
Church of this city. Two or three
meetings have been held there daily,
including an inquiry and a prayer
meeting. Every pious seaman receives
a sort of commission to labor for the
conversion of others, and goes forth
pledged wherever he is to win his fel
low-seamen to Chri6t.
At the church of the York port
Society, of which Rev. V. J. Jones, is
pastor, 300 seamen, and 200 other
members, have been within
two yea(B, and all
have beeir attended and
often. An extra
meetfhgTs now morn
ing, at which from often take
part in the single Other Mari
ner’s churches in thisand other ports
have been likewise bljpssed. A remark
able feature of the rgwival among sail
ors is, that, it on men-of
war, wheife of all -other places it was
least to befexpected/**The hundred or
more seamen converted two years ago,
on the receiving ship “North Carolina”
at our navy yard, are now in all parts
of the world, carrying the prayer-meet
ing and a religious influence wherever
they go. On eight government ves
sels a sailor’s prayer-meeting is sustain
ed, and in a few cases pious officers en
courage the men in theii religious ex
ercises. The captain, some of the offi
cers, and about 20 sailors of the “ Ni
agara,” on which the Japanese Ambas
sadors embarked for theirhome, are
pious, the chaplain leads in daily morn
ing and evening prayer, besides the
Sabbath services, and a prayer-meet
ing is conducted by the sailors. This
has attracted the attention of the Ja
panese, of whose religious prejudices
our government has been over-careful.
Several of them are taking lessons in
English from Rev. M. Stuart, and
some have asked the men about their
meetings, what they prayed to, what
Christ had done for them, etc. One of
the princes selected the “Seamen’s Spy
Glass” and other tracts for examina
tion. We hope their hearts may be
opened to receive the gospel, and thus
afford it ready access to the millions in
their native country; but whatever the
religious influence of this voyage, it
can be traced to the recent revival
among seamen.
We have just heard of a few conver
sions on board the “ Mystic” of the
African squadron, after that vessel had
received among its crew two pious sea
men from the “Constellation,” also on
that coast, and on board of which there
are a large number of professing Chris
tians. These latter went on--board the
Niagara when she was at Loando, and
there united with some of her crew in
such a prayer-meeting as they had not
enjoyed since they left the North Caro
lina sixteen months before.
A letter was recently received at the
Fulton Street prayer-meeting from a
sailor on board the “Nonpareil” at San
Francisco. On a former occasion he
had asked the prayers of that meeting
in his own behalf. He says, on going
on board the Nonpareil for the voyage
last April, to his great joy, he found
pious sailors on the ship with him, and
they maintained a daily prayer-meet
ing all the way to San Francisco. He
came from Calcutta to New York by
a previous voyage, and had not been
a month in the country before he was
converted and joined the Pierrepont
street Baptist church in Brooklyn.—
He stated that one of his young friends
was abont to join the First Baptist
Church in San Francisco.
Cases of this kind are coming to light
almost daily, and we feel that prayers
offered during years past for the spirit
ual welfare of seamen, are now being
abundantly answered. B. T. E.
Dr. Wist&r*s Balsam of Wild
CHERRY.
Where this article is known it is a work of su
pererogation to say one word in its favor, so well
is it established as an unfailing remedy for Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Asth
ma, Quinsy, Phthisic, diseases of the Throat, Chest,
and Lungs, as well as that most dreaded of all dis
eases, Consumption, which high medical authority
has pronounced to be a curable disease. Those
who have used this remedy know iis value ; those
who have not have but to make a single trial to be
satisfied that of all others it is the remedy.
From Francis A. Huson, Esq., of Kingston, Ga.
Kingston, Ga., April 6, 1360.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Cos.,
Gentlemen :—I think your preparation of Dr.
Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry is the best reme
dy for Coughs, and for all Pulmonary Complaints
extant. Experience, after years of trial of it a
mong my friends and in my own family, has dem
onstrated this fact. My wife, who suffered some
three years since with a distressing pulmonary dif
ficulty, was cured by this remedy alter all others
had tailed. I have, therefore, cause to strongly
recommend it. Being well known in various sec
tions of this State, you are at liberty to use this in
any manner which will promote the sale of the Bal
sam, and consequently relieve the sufferings of the
afflicted. Yours truly,
FRANCIS A. HE SON.
From Rev. Jesse M. Wood.
Rome, Ga., April 4,1860.
Dear Sirs—This certifies that four years ago I
suffered with a distressing Cough. During the
winter and spring of 1856, I used Dr. Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry, with considerable advan
tage. I consider it a valuable remedy for Coughs
and Colds. J. M. WOOD.
BT Caution to purchasers. The only genuine
Wistar’s Balsam has the written signituss of “I
Butts” and the printed one of the Proprietors on
the outer wrapper ; all others is vile and worth
less.

The extensive patronage heretofore bestowed

principal being a graduate of Mercer University
knows what is required to prepare a student for
that college and our course of instruction being
nearly identical with that of that Institution he
feels warranted in saying that there is no School
in which a student can be prepared for any class in
that Institution, in a shorter time and at less ex

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.

AYER’S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedial* that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it shoidd be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Riieum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
in “impurity of the blood” is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES Os A FAMILY PHYSIO,’
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them
their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, / iMu/cstion, Pain in and Morbid

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have lieen restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

MRS. WINSLOW,
AN experienced Nurse and Female Phyeiciau,
presents to the attention of mothers, her
SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething,
by softening the gums, reducing all inflamation—
will allay ALL PAIN and spasmodic action, and is
SURE TO REGULATE THE BOWELS.
Depend upon it, mothers, it will give rest to your
selves, and
RELIEF AND HEALTH TO YOUR INFANTS.
We have put up and sold this article for over
ten years, and CAN SAY IN CONFIDENCE AND
TRUTH of it, what we have never been able to
say of any other medicine—
NEVER HAS : MRS. : it FAILED
IN A SINGLE ; WINSLOW’S ■ instance,
TO EFFECT A I SOOTHING ; Cure,when
timely used. ] SYRUP. ; Never did
we know an in- stance o f
dissatisfaction by any one who used it. On the
contrary, all arc delighted with its operations, and
speak in terms of commendation of its magical ef
fects and medical virtues. We speak in this mat
ter “WHAT WE DO KNOW,” after ten years’
experience, AND PLEDGE OUR REPUTATION
FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF WHAT WE
HERE DECLARE. In almost every instance
where the infant is suffering from pain and ex
haustion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty
minutes after the syrup is administered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription of
one of the most experienced and skillful nurses in
New England, and has been used with NEVER
FAILING SUCCESS in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain, but in
vigorates the stomach and bowels, corrects acidi
ty, and gives tone and energy to the whole sys
tem. It will almost instantly relieve
GRIPING IN THE BOWELS, and WIND COLIC
and overcome convulsions,
which, if not i FOR ; speedy reme
died, end in ; CHILDREN ; death. We
lieve it the ; TEETHING. ; BEST AND
SUREST REMEDY
IN THE WORLD, in all cases of DYSENTERY
AND DIARRHtEA IN CHILDREN, whether it ari*
’ses from teething, or from any other cause. We
would say to every mother who has a chiid suffer
ing from any of the foregoing complaints—DO
NOT LET YOUR PREJUDICES, NOR THE PRE
JUDICES OF OTHERS, stand between you and
your suffering child, and the relief that will be
SURE—yes, ABSOLUTELY SURE—to follow the
use of this medicine, if timely used. Full direc
tions for using will accompany each bottle. None

KINS, New York, is on the outside wrapper.
