BETTER THAN GOLD.
Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank ami title a thousand fold,
. I3 a healthy body, a "mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for a neighbor’s woe
And share his joys with a genial glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
,Tho’ toiling for breadjjin an humble sphere;
.Doubly blest with content and health,
Untried by the lust 0 f cares or wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
.Adorn and ennoble a poor man’s cot;
For man and morals, or Nature’s plan,
Are the genuine test of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sveet repose
Of the sons of toil when their labors close;
Better tnan gold is the poor man’s sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep (
’Bring sleeping draughts to the dtfwiiy bed,
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
"His simple opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dream3.
'Better than gold is a thinking mind
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surpassing Australian ore,
And live with great and good of yore.
The sage’s lore and the poet’s lay,
The glories of empires past away ;
The world’s great diama will thus unfold
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
Where al! the fireside charities come ;
The shrine of love and the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with Heaven’s decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there, are better than gold.

one of the girls was angry with me to

It is needless to say to the reader
that volumes are embraced in that
incident. It illustrates in tones unmis
takable, the impudence and injustice of
thousands in this land of civil and re
ligious liberty. It illustrates the blind
ness of that ignorance which fails to
realize that true character and the true
history of the Hebrew people. It ig
nores the-light of history. Omitting all
allusion to the grand tenets of Christi
anity, in which we are humble but sin
cere believers, it sinks into oblivien of
prejudiced ignorance the grand truths of
Hebrew history for-1875 years. It fails
to grapple with the sublime truth that
-to the Jewish race, more than any other
source, we are indebted for the preserva
tion of history, learning and letters dur
ing the centuries of the dark ages—that
to that race in Spain, through bun
tired of years civilization owes its pres
ervation, and the countries of Europe
debts of gratitule mountain high in
the long road from barbarism to wealth,
elegance and refinement. It spits upon
the fact that Jewish drunkards are rare
as diamonds. It refuses to know that
Jewish poor never, in any country on
earth, became a charge to the public
It forgets that for eighteen hundred and
seventy-five years the Jews have, with
rare exceptions, been a proscribed and
persecuted race to the ends of the earth,
and yet, that to-day they are law givers
in the most enlightened, prosperous and
liberal counties in the world. It refuses
to acknowledge that the Jews have all
this time been the friends of humanity,
the patrons of learning, of commerce,
and of liberty. Despite the jibes and
"flings of unthinking men, wotneu and
children, no Hebrew has any cause to
hang his head in shame by a fair com
parison with any other race. “A nation
without a country,” they have clone as
much and are now doing as much, the
world over, to break down the batlements
of hate and spread overthe worlcithe-spiri
it of peaceful intercourse and true hum ani
ty. The American Mason of to day may go
to any Masonic lodge the uttermost
parts of the earth and enter the portals
of that great embodiment of benevolence,
and there, aB a friend and brother, tried
and true, he will find the Jew. Go into
the street seeking alms for the distress
ed and the last man to say nay will be
the Jew. These thoughts rushed upon
us on hearing the incident above related,
and we felt the blush of sorrow tingle
our cheek. It is sad to realise that at this
age mere thoughtless prejudice is al
lowed to sway the judgments of our
children in matters so sternly appealing
to our sense of justice and our knowl
edge. How much better to pluck the
beam from their own eyes and leave the
moat in the eyes of others ?—[Ex

A great many boys mistake'their call
ing, but all such are not fortunate enough
to find out in as good season as did this
one. It is said that Rufus Choate, the
greatdawyer, was once in New Hamp
Bhire making a plea, when a boy, the
son of a farmer, resolved to leave the
plow and a lawyer like Rufus
Choate. He accordingly went to Bos
ton called on Mr. Choate, and said to
him : ‘'l heard you plead in our town,
and I have a desire to become a lawyer
like you. Will you teach me how f”
“As well as I can,” said the great lawyer,
“Come and sit down,” T king down a
copy of Blackstone, he said : “Read this
until I come back, and I will see how
you get on.” The poor boy began. An
hour passed. His back ached, his head
ached, his legs ached. He knew not
how to study. Every moment became a
torture. He wanted air. Another hour
passed, and Mr. Choate came and asked,
“How do you get on ?” “Get on! Why.
do you have to read such stuff as this ?”
“Yes.” “How much of it?” “All there
is on these shelves, and more," looking
about the great library. “How long will
it take?” “Well, it has taken mo more
than twenty-fivo years.” “How much do
you get?” “My board and clothes.”
“Is that all?” “Well, that, is about all
that I have gained as yet.” “Then,”
said the boy, “I will go back to the
ploughing. The work is not so hard,
and pays better.”

“SPLRGING” ON NEWSPAPERS.
Every man thinks a newspaper fair
game. If a society or any body of men
get up a concert or a ball, or other form
of entertainment, the object of which
is to put money in their pockets, or if
the proceeds are to be devoted to char
itable purposes to add to their own glo
rification, they become very indignant if
the proprietors of a newspaper do not
assist them by a series of gratuitous ad
vertisements for several weeks before
the event takes place. These gentlemen
should remember that literary men, m
this practical age, work for money as
well as for fame—principally the former,
however, and the business manager of a
newspaper, if he wishes to keep®on the
safe side of the ledger, conducts his
charge on the same principle as the head
of any business establishment. People
who are getting up a ball would feel
chary of asking a present of a pair of
gloves from any merchaut on that ac
count, yet asking and expecting to re
ceive a gratuitous advertisement is a sim
ilar demand. The editor of th* Marl
boro (Mass.) Journal states the case ve
ry plainly when he informs his readers
that, “We long ago adopted the plan of
charging cur regular reading notice price
for all editorial announcements of enter
tainments to which an admission fee is
affixed. We make no exception to this
rule. In the way of news topics we free
ly and glad.y insert sketches of al 1 en
tertainments after they have become
matters of history It is only the pre
liminary work, looking to the drawing
out of increased patronage from the pub
lie for which we expect compensation.”
- A GOOD REPUTATION TO HATE.
A young man had volunteered, and
was expected daily to be ordered to the
seat of war. One day his mother gave
him an unpaid bill with money, and ask
ed him to jpay it. When he returned
home at night she said,
“Did you pay that bill'?”
“Yes,” he answered.
In a few days the bill was sent in a
second time.
“I thought,” shesaid to her sdn, “that
you paid this.”
“I really don’t remember, mother;
you know I’ve had so very many things
on my mind.”
“But you said you did.”
“Well," he answered,'“if I said I did,
I did.”
He went away, and his mother took
the bill herself to the store. The young
man had been known to the town all his
life, and what opinion was held of him
this will show.
“I am quite sure,” she said, “that my
son paid this some days ago ; he has
been very busy since, and has quite for
gotten about it; but he told me that
day be had, and says if he said then he
had, he is quite sure he did.”
“Well,” said the man, “I realty forget
about it; but if he ever said he he
did.”
Was not that a grand character to
have ?—[Christian Weekly.

THE LYON SEWING MACHINE,
_ THE “CONQU EHOEyaW
The above illustralion, though without stand,
shows the wonderful simplicity of the Lyon
Sewing Machine, the “Conqueror.” Mr. Lyon,
the Inventor, was for many years (he Preshlent
and Manager of the Finkle k Lyon S. M. Cos.,
and lunce enjoyed the facility for the study of
the sewing machine art and its adaptation to ev
ery variety of sewing manufacture, both in the
family and in the sh >p, and the invention proves
a great success. It bar overcome tiio four great
radical defects of shuttle machines, viz:
1. Want of space undei the arm.
2. Want of durability-—too much friction.
3. Too heavy running—tires the operator.
4. Too much jar and noise.
No other shuttle machine has ever successful
ly overcome these four great defects.
We know the machine honestly excels any
thing we have to contend with in the market.
We realize that these are strong assurances,
but ve offer them without the least misgivings,
for we know whereof we affirm.
We therefore offer the machine upon its own
merits, and if it doss not prove satisfactory, it
can be returned any time within GO days and
money refunded.
Our LIST PRICES will be the same as other
first class machines, but in neighborhoods where
we have no x\gent, special inducements will be
offered. Each machine is supplied, without ex
tra charge, wit 1 * Hemtner, Quiiter, Gunge,
Guage Screw. Screw Driver, six Bobbins, one
dozen Needles, Oil Can filled with Oil, Bel* and
Instruction Book.
N. B.—We shall appoint AGENTS with exclu
sive Territory for Towns or Counties or States,
and we hope to render these agencies permanent
by the liberal inducements we offer and the in
trinsic merits of the machine.

for 1875. Il is after an original picture by the
celebrated artist Enninger, and repres;nt3 the
first interview of Washington with the fail
widow who afterwards became bis wife, and is
known in history as Lady Washington. The
story is quite romantic. During the great French
and Indian war of 1755, Washington, then about
to proceed to the frontier, stopped for an hour’s
refreshment at the hospitable mansion known
then, as now, as the White House, in Virginia.
There he met, for the first time, the fair widow
who afterwards became his wife. Beguiled by
her charms and conversation, he remained hour
after hour, his orderly leading his horse to and
froacross the lawn. It is this incident which
tlieengraving represents.
It is the Largest and Most Costly
We have ever offered, and can only be had of
us, as it will not be sold elsewhere. At a rqtail
store similar pictures are sold at from six to ten
dollars each. It is engraved in the very highest
style of the art after an original picture, and for
patriotic as well as artistic reasons ought to be
in every home in America.
To accommodate the tens of thousands of
persons who will desire to have this engraving,
we offer it as a premium to persons getting up
clubs for 1875.
Remember that the postage on both the Mag.
axinc and the premium will be prepaid at the
