Tell a-; a Bible story.
S‘iu:l I tell you about Jonah, a
prophet of God ? God once told his
servant Jonah to go to a largo city
some Way off, and 101 l lhpeople who
lived there, and who were very
naughty, wicked people, that he
would punish item lor their sing;
but Jonah did re t choose io go. In
stead of doing what God told him to
do, and sealing "ff at once to the city,
he gotiiiio a ship that was going
across the S‘-a just another way.
This was very wrong, because, you
know the eyes of the Lo;d are in ev
ery place, beholding the evil and the
good,” and it is in vain to try to hide
ourselves from God. “The darkness
and the light are both alike to him.”
Jonah could no moro hide himself
from God when he got into the ship,
than Adam ad Eve could hid them
selves tn the garden of Eden.
Very so ri after the ship put out to
sea, God sunt a groat storm. The
wind blew a* and the waves dashed up
bo, that the vessel wa- tossed about
and almost broken in pieces. The
poor sailors wero very much afraid;
they did not know what to do. They
were poor heathen,, aid they knew no
Letter than to say their
“useless prayers
To blotka of wood aud stone.”
But this could do them no good; their
little woollen idols could not hear
them. The wind kept on blowing,
andtbesform beat so loud, that at
last they threw all their goods into
the sea, hoping to make the ship light
cr.
Where teat Jonah ?
He was in the cabin of the ship,
fasta'-leep; so the captain went out
to wake him up When Jonah saw
what a great storm there was, he
thought God had sect t ori purpose
to punish him for his disobedience,
ami he told the captain ho had better
throw him into the sea; r.or did he
thiak the storm would be over until
he did.
The captain a! ‘ti t!w sailors did not
like to do this, aud :hoy tried hard to
bring the ship to land, but could not;
so at last they took up Jonah and
threw hi input, of the ship into the sea.
Was J'jtiah drowned ?
No, God in his tender mercy was
watehiog over him, and ho bid a great
fish take Jonah into his mouth, but
r.otto at him. Jonah lived three days

God to forgive him, and begged him
to love him again and keep him alive,
that ho might serve him better than
iie had ever done hi fore. God heard
his prayer, for our heavenly Father

who cry to him. Tuon God told ilio

A Thunder-storm nro-e ono day,
and kept us at home from our ride.
The clouds were very black.
“I am so afraid of thunder,” said
Jessie, jumping up in her mother’s lap
and laying her head on mother’s bo
som.
“Thunder will not hurt you,” said
Tom; “it is the lightning”
“What is thunder?” asked little
Will.
“It is the clouds hallooing,” said
Jessie, “and I am afraid of it.”
“And what is lightning, Jessie?”
asked Tom, laughing.
“It is God's firework*,” sail Will;
I am sure of tha'.
“J hail a great deal rather have
them without the noise,” said Je.-sie
“But you can't cried Tom.
There Tom was mistaken. In damp
summer evenings we often see flashes
of light along the edges of a cloud.
It is called heat-lightning, arid has
no thunder with it, nor is it danger
ous.
That which dans in zigzag lines
and forkis out or looks like balls of
fire shooting fioin the clouds, makes
a loud noise, and often strikes barns
and houses aud kills people.
“What is lightning?” asked Torn.

In old times people did not know
what lightning . was. They thought
it was God’s w-ny of showing his
anger.
Hit 15;'j min Franklin, that oh
serving and thinking printer, conclu
ded by what ho saw that lightning
was electricity ; so one day lie went
outdoors in a thunder-storm, and
scut a kite up to the clouds to bring
the lightning down. It ran down
tho string of his kite to an iron, as
you see, and. the iron was full of it.
Why iliil it n t .on down to Fi ui k
lin, and kill him? Ah, tie thought of
that. So ho lied a- ilk string to the
end of his hemp string, and held by
that; for, as 1 told you silk will not
conduct electricity. That made
Franklin safe. When the key was
charged with lightening, Franklin
knocked it with Ids knuckles, and
fell a shock, just the strange prickly
feeling people fuel from a i electric
shock.
Now Franklin was a man who
alwaj s tried to turn his knowkdge to
somo good account. S> ho invented
lightning rods, which you know are
mado'of iron or copper, and run out
side of a house from a chimney to the
earth, to receive and carry tho light
ning into tho ground, whore it. will
do no harm. in that wav houses
are safo frum its tffects. We should
be careful w here we are in a thunder
shower. It is dangerous to stand un
der a tree or a haystack, or at open
doors or windows, or by the walls or
chimneys.
David calls tho thunder the
voice ot tho Lord. Go i is in the
cloud; God is in the wind; God is in
the lightning; God is in tho rain.
They all taj’, God mado and goveri a
me.
It is not pleasant to feel that God
holds the ruins for every thing?—

EARLY : PRINTING IN , AMERIC.
Everything pertaining to tho art of
printing— tlmt art wlfch aids all art
ut.d i cienee—is of imorcst. Concern
ing its introduction iiito this country,
wo fi .and tho following in tho Proof-
Sheet, written by S. .1. Hamilton, of
Philadelphia :
“It is a fact wot thy of notice, and
of which Philadelphians may well be
proud, that, while nineteen years
( lapsed from the time of tho landing
of tho Pjlgrims at Plymouth Rock,
before the art of printing was intro
duc'd into .ho No.v England Colo
nics, and while neurljy a century and
a quarter passed front tho settlement
at Jamestown before a single shoot
was printed within the limits of V ll
ginia, the Press was introduced into
our city, and an almanac calculated
aid printed, but three years alter its
settlement; and that William Penn
was accompanied by a printer on hie
first voyage.
“William Bradford, to whom be
longs tho honor of having first inuo
duced printing into the .Middle Stales,
was horn in Leicestershire, England,
Ala) 2Gtli, 1608. His parents were
William and Annie Bradford, of whom
out little is knuwn. At an early age
ho was appienticed to Andrew Sowie,
a well-known London printer arid
publisher of that day. Bowie appeals
to have been an enthusiastic admirer
of the doc rii.es of the Society ol

of his life, lic.U liurlb as that of a liuu

1085, bringing with him not only the
Pivss, but a wife—the daughter of Mr.
Sowsip, bis f inner master. A curious
d< cumcnt is still preserved in tl.e col

ing a circular letter of introduction
from George Fox, the founder of tho

\Yoolwieli during the last four yearn,

of gun Cotton, for tho purpose of
completely investigating the condi
tions of stability of this substance.
The following, writes the Mutiny Jour
nal, are tho facts ascertained :
1. Gun Colton prepared according
to Von Lock's method may 7 bo oxpos
ed to diffused daylight., eithor in the
open aii or in closed Vowels,*f.*r very'
long periods wi hout undergoing any
change. Tho preservation of the
material for three yoars and a half
under these conditions has been per
fect. 2. Long-continued exp sure of
the substance in a condition of ordina
ry dryness to strong daylight and
sunlight produces a very slow change,
so that there is no rapid decomposi
tion whatever. S It guri Cotton in
closed vessels is left for protracted
periods exposed to strong daylight or
sunlight io a damp or moist condition,
it is affected to a somewhat greater
extent. 4. Gun Cotton exposed to
sunlight until a Lint acid reaction has
become developed, and is then imme
diately afterwards packtd into boxes
tightly closed, does not undergo any
change during subsequent storage tt.i
long periods 5. Gun Cotton prepur
eil and purified according to tho pro
scribed system, and stored in the or
dinary dry condition, does not furnish
any indication of attrition beyond
tho development, shortly after pack
ing, of a slight peculiar odour, and the
power of gradually impar ing to lit,!
mus, when packed with it, a pinkish
tinge. 6. Exposure to lompcrulurcs|
cm.sidoiably exceeding those if trop

Cotton may 7 be c n.voyed with less
risk than gunpowder. 7 I’uro gun

ton contains organic impurities, which
develop free acid when expo-ed to

only const quencc of this aJdirinn is a
small increase to tho little an ke

A few dnyspfler the first battle oT

RECEIPTS*
Th’e AptlE.—This is both nutritious
and yrholesotno/and really deserves a
more prominent place in table-fruits
than is often assigned to it. Sweet
apples aro hotter than sour varie
ties, as they contain more saccharine
matter.
To Bake Apples. —Sweet apples,
nicely baked and oaten with sweet
milk, are excellent. Take well shaped
large apples, core them, and place
them in, earthen dishes or pans; fill
tho cavities of the apples with sugar,
and bake till soft.

and flavor with cinnamon or lemon;
put them into an earthen dish, and
mako a custard of a quart of milk and
four eggs; beat light, swoeten ann
flavor, and pat ovdf the apples.
Arn.E Syrup. —Tako a dozen fine,
ripe apples, pare and cat them in thin
slices, and put them into a stone bot
tle viih one pound and a half of pow
dered loaf sugar. Cork the bottle,
and boil in a vessel of hot water two
hours, and then allow it to cool.—
When nearly cold, flavor it with any
essenco desired, and pour into wide
necked battles fAr future uso.
Apple Jolly.—Pare tart apples and
cut them up; put to them a little wa
ter, and bdll till it becomes soft; strain
it; put one pound nf loaf sugar, pow
dered, to op. h pint of juice; boil till
a fine, elenr jelly; flavor with cssenoe
of lemon, and strain into moulds.

steel rail of tho best quality, flexible,
tenacious, adamantine lace, of dia
mond hardness, just tho thing wo
wanted.’ Mr. Hibort farther states
that it is his purpose to lay a number
of tlieso rails on the track at Staunton,
where the public will bo invited to
witness and to pass judgment upon
thorn.’ It is impossible to calculate
ilie magnitude of this discovery and
its advantages to the world. It will
cheapen the cost of tho manufacture
of steel at least fifty per cent, and
revolutionize the iron businoss of eve
ery country on earth. Noble old

in this tho day of thy calamnity the
silvor lining of the future is visible
foreshadowing the noar approach of
that brighter dawn when thy dry
places shall spring with wolls of wa

ItouiNsoN Crusoe. —An edition of
Uobinson Crusoo, whoroin all the
words are monosyllables except Fri

England. The Athenaeum says:

with Well! nothing to say yet? Tho
thing was not soon until five pages
had been read. We put the book un
der the eyo of a man well used to
books, and askod him if he observed
anything peculiar; he turned page af
ter page, and did not notice anything.
Defoe himself is vory monosyllabic; a
pago of narrative taken at hazard
gavo at the rate of forty-seven words
of one syllablo to eleven of more than
one.
At the burning of tho Kiohmond,
Indiana, Water Care, the thirsty oit*
izens drank up several gallons of whis

palpable shape.
