WE would not so often cull attention to Har per's Weekly if we were not well satisfied that it is the best family paper published in the United States, and for that reason, and that alone, we desire to see it undermine and root out a certain kind of literature too prevalent, which blunts the morals of its readers, vilia ates their taste for sensible reading, and is altogether bad in its* effects. —New London Advertiser. As Harper’s Magazine lias done much to drive out the yellow-covered literature, so we should be glad to see this new Weekly take the place of those papers which depend for excitement on poor, trashy novels.— New York Evangelist. Harper’s Weekly abounds in original matter, spicy, piquant, instructive and entertaining. It has, and de servedly, a very large and increasing circulation. It is a tip-top family paper. —Boston Journal. It (Harper’s Weekly) is the proper size for binding, and an excellent opportunity is afforded for any one who wishes to preserve the history of the country, as it is made, to do so by filing Harper’s Weekly. —Fonliac (Mich.) Jacksonian. Its fresh leaves, its clear type, its entertaining vari ety, its severe but just criticisms upon the follies of the times, its elegantly written and instructive articles, and its able correspondence, all combine to make it the mo del newspaper of our country, and one that every fam ily must prize. Its condensed weekly summary oiFor eign and Domestic Intelligence is altogether superior to that contained in any other journal. Being published, too, in a form for preservation and binding, if taken care of as it deserves to be, it will be found in future years, as welcome a companion for the family nnd fireside as the day on which it was first perused.— M’ Connellsville (O.) Inquirer. Its illustrations are far ahead of any journal of the kind in the country. Its pen portraits of distinguished living men arc, of themselves, worth the price volume. — N. Y. Christian Advocate and Journal. Fresh, sparkling and vivacious. Its circulation is probably the greatest success ever achieved by any pub lication at such an early period of its existence.—Brook lyn Eagle. The best family paper we ever saw. Its pages embrace a great variety of reading matter, and its articles on the leading topics of the day are written with an ability which would do credit to the “Thunderer” of the Bri tish Press—the London “ Times.” In point of illustra tions, it is ahead of any of our pictorial sheets. —New London Advertiser. “ Harper’s Weekly ” readers and popularity with every issue, because it aims at and hits that aver age requirement for family reading which’ this.erirerpri stng house so well comprehend.

THE ADOPTED ORGAN OR AI>L THE TEMPERANCE ORGANISATIONS IN THE STATE. Porter’s Spirit FREE GIFT DISTRIBUTION. THE Proprietors of PORTER’S SPIRIT OF THE TIMES, will, in July next, make a free distribution of §I,OOO among their Yearly Subscribers whose yearly subscription shall have three or more months to run, after the date of distribution will be governed by the result.of the great radethat is to bqtttin in England on the 28th of July next, known as the race for The Good wood Cup. This contest is tinder the special patronage of the Duke of Richmond, and is oiie of the most princely of the English racing year. It was the meeting selected last year for the memorable<Te&t of the American horses in the English Turf; and it is more than probable that Prioress and other American horses will, on the ap proaching occasion, appear in it again. As there will, probably, be thirty or forty horses en tered, and some fourteen or fifteen to start, wc propose to distribute the sl,oooas follows: First, we will confer a Tree Gift of |sfO In a sh on the Subscriber who, in the distribution, shall obtain die nnme of the winning horse. * The subscriber holding the name of the second horse, a Frcetliftof ja ; and to the Subscriber who holds the name of the third horse,- a Free Gift or SIOO. Among those who hold the names of the remaining horses which started, other than the first throe, we will distribute a Free Gift of SIOO in equal parts; and among those who hold the names ot horses which were entered, and did not start, we will distribute in like manner, the remaining Free Gift off.$100; so that there will be,"in all, ?1,000 divided among about thirty gifts, in cash. The distribution of the names of the horses among our Subscribers will he effected by putting them into a glass ballot-box, and taking them thenceforth simulta neously with the number of the receipt of each Yearly Subscriber as found upon our books. The horse thus drawn will, ofcourse, become the chosen competitor for the victory to the Yearly Subscribes whose number is drawn with it. In this way, the whole thirty-five or forty horses will be distributed among our regular Yearly Subscribers; and each subscriber will know if he has drawn a horse, by the duplicate number of his re ceipts, which we will forward him in advance from our books. The distribution of the horses’ names will take place on the evening of Saturday, the 24th of July, at our Office. 348 Broadway, New York, on which occasion we will also distribute the names of the same horses in another, out entirely separate Free Gift to A guilts of SSOO among those of our Retail Agents who shall have been in the habit of selling ten or more copies of our paper regularly, for eight weeks previous to such distribution; and for every extra ten copies each Retail Agent or Newsman may sell, he shall have an additional share in the Agents Distribution. We take this mode of rewarding our Subscribers and Aids, in preference to employing Traveling Agents— choosing rather thus to give, what we would pay away in such expenses and commissions, to the Subscriber himself. By this means, the Subscriber receives, for the usual subscription price, not only his paper for the year, but a large sum in cash, in the shape ofa very novel and interesting sagacity. The subscription price of Porter’s Spirit ‘is $3.00 a year. Postmasters and others who furnish ten Yearly Scribers, will, in addition to their premium, be entitled to one share.of the Agents’ Gift. It is our present intention to continue this system ot Free Gifts, and make to our Subscribers and Agents two Free Distributions during the following and each succeeding year ; the first to be decided by The Epsom Derby of 1856, to be run in England in the early Spring (and for which two American horses are already entered,) and the others by The Ifoncastcr St. Leger, the annual great meeting of England for the Fall. As in both these last named meetings there are alway s about two hundred high-mettled racers entered, the interest that will attend the distribution of the names of the competitors among the readers of our paper may easily be conceived. For the present year, in consequendfc'of the close ap proach of the Derby, we have chosen, for convenience, the grand race for The Goodwood Cttp. P‘ S. —The distribution will take place publicly, un der the superintendence of a Committee of Subscribers and News-Agents. GEO. WILKES & CO. Proprietors. EaIKBIEKSi! EdK&JU’E 1 2, DANFORD &r BAILY’S Patent Non-Explosive, Self-Generating aw THE public is now favored with the best and “Most Economical Light” that can be produced. Among the various experiments to approximate artifi cial light to the pure and mellow light of the natural sun, none have pioved successful until the Non-explo sive, Self-generating GAS LIGHT was invented. This light is adapted to churches, hotels, vessels, rail roads, colleges, private dwellings, and in fact everywhere, where there is a lujlit needed —and only requires a trial to test its Superior Advantages over all others. The substance used in generating Gas is the common burning fluid, and the burner is so simple in its con struction that it requires but little time and ingenuity to Keep it in good running order. The burner formsitsown gas, being evaporisive and decomposed by its own col orification. Unlike the ordinary fluid-lamp, it does not. throw ofl'unconsumed carbon, but it forms from the fluid- ‘PURE HYDRO-CARBON GAS' —all of which is conveyed through the generator, not leaving any substance to escape unconsumed. Our Patent Burner can be fitted to any ordinary fluid lamp or oil lamp, without the least possible danger of explosion, as they are so constructed that to explode one, of them would be utterly impossible. They are considered, by thousands who are using them, to be as safe, if not safer, than the oil lamp or candle, as there are no sparks flying from tiie flame, and gives precisely the same shaped light as you get from coal gas. We wish it to be distinctly understood, that the gas lamp will give the same amount of light ns seven first quality stearine candles, , i'Olt ONLY ONE CENT. PER HOCK. <}.<■ The subscribers having purchased the exclusive right to sell the above Lamp in the Cou.ity ot Greene, would respectfully inform their friends and the public that they will have, in a few days, a large assortment ot Parlor, Hall, Store, Office and Studying Lamps, at all prices.

Potatoes Planted originally in the moun tains of Peru, the potato possesses the qualities which distinctly mark it as the destined food in part at least—of a large portion of mankind. It flourishes In nearly every climate except the warmest and the very coldest; more sensitive to frost than even the dahlia or geranium, it is to be seen in perfection in every region of the globe except the tropics or the Arctic circle. During the brief months of summer it makes its way and arrives at maturity in every part of the temper ate zone. * The roots in their natural state are not much larger than a strawberry: under the foster ing hand of culture they swell to ten or some times twenty times th size. It is far more productive, when brought to perfection by culti vation, of food fox the use ot man than any cereal; it yields, on an equal space, three times as much for his sustenance as the best wheaten crop.” * A pretty woman pleases the eye; a good woman pleases the heart .

LIVES. “ The tissue of the life to be We weave with colors all our own, And in the field of Destiny We reap as we have sown. Still shall the soul around it call The shadows which it gathered here, And painted on the eternal wall, The Past shall re-appear. Think ye the notes of holy song On Milton’s tuneful ear have died ? Think ye that Raphael’s angel throng Has vanished from his side ? Oh, no t we live our life again, Or warmly touched, or coldly dim, The pictures of the past remain ; Man’s work shall follow him." — ■Whittier. GREAT MEN IN SOUTHERN HISTOBY. If we look at the character of those distin guished persons of the nation who may be deemed historical, there are names that certainly will live na long in history and in marble in the South as in the North. Yea, there is one Southern name with which there is none to compare, either in the North or in the world. We can speak of the “incomparable Washington,” that the Northern colonies were so ready to have as Commander-in chief of the American force? in the war of the Revolution, and who was unanimously elected the first President of the United States of America. Os the fifteen presidents of- the United States, eight of them were Southern men. And where is the Northern .man that will not agree with us, that the names of Washington, Jefferson, Madi son, Monroe, Jackson, Tyler, Polk and Taylor, are quite as illustrious as those of the Adamses, Van Buren, Harrison, Fillmore, Pierce and Buch anan? If the North has produced a Samuel Adams, a Hamilton, a Story and a Webster, the South has given birth to a Patrick Henry, a Pink ney, a Marshall, a Calhoun and a Clay. If the North has given to the country more distinguished scholars and authors, the South has yielded more than its share of the most distinguished generals, statesmen and politicians. —Boston Post. LOGIC. Professor. —llow many parts are there in a salt box? Student. —Three: lotion, top and sides. Professor. —llow many modes are there in salt boxes ? Student. —Four: the formal, the substantial, the accidental and the topsy-turvy. Professor.' —Define these several modes. Student. —The formal respects the figure or shape of the box—such as round, square, oblong, and so forth; the substantial respects the work of the joiner; and the accidental depends upon the string by which the box is liung against the wall. Professor- -Very well; and what are the con sequences of the accidental mode? Student. —ls the string should break the box would fall, the salt be spilt, the salt-box broken and the cook in a bitter passion ; and this is the accidental mode with its consequences. Professor. —How do you distinguish between the top and bottom of a salt-box ? Student.-^ The top of a box is tluft part which is uppermost, arid the bottom - that part which is lowest in all positions. Professor. —You should rather say the lowest part is tlie bottom and the uppermost part is the top. llow is it, then, if the bottom should be the uppermost ? Student. —The top would then be the lowermost —and so the bottom would become the top, and the top would become the bottom; and this is called the topsy-turvy mode, which is nearly allied to the accidental, and frequently arises from it. Professor. —Very good; but are not salt-boxes sometimes double ? Student. —Yes. Professor. —Well, then, mention the several combinations of salt-boxes with respect to their having salt or not. Student. —They are divided into single salt-boxes having salt; single salt-boxes having no salt; -double salt-boxes having salt; double salt-boxes having no salt; and single double salt-boxes hav ing salt and no salt. Professor. —Hold! hold 1 you are going too far. QUIET. Ah, reader, this is what our hearts all want; quiet, quiet! And this is what the world cannot give us. Are not its gifts finite, and are not our souls infinite ? Oh, poor, tired, human soul, buf feting with the winds and waves of this stormy life, be still! look upward! Ask not of Time what is not in its treasury—what it never gave, what it never can give to any man ; but ask it of God, and in answer shall come the peace “He giveth to his beloved.” “If I was only understood, and appreciated, and beloved, as I want to be loved, then I could be perfectly happy,” is the cry of so many hearts. No! no! human love cannot long make one “ perfectly happy,” and if it could, how small, and narrow, and pitiable must be the soul whom the love of another frail human soul could fill: God did not place us here as beings simply re ceptive of enjoyment, but to create and endure ; to find our own happiness in living for others. Try this, reader, letting all the rest go, and see if you do not, in the end, find your own happi ness ! Ah, how mistaken, how blind we are, searching for the soul’s “ hidden treasure” among the things of earth, thirsting for the cooling draughts, hungering after the golden fruits that gladden no valleys, and grow in no gardens of this world, but that fill the airs of Ileaven with their sweet sounds and soft fragrance 1 Quiet, quiet! and how can a man or woman’s heart know this, until all fear of -death be taken away ? Whatsoever be your faith or creed, reader, do we not join hands in this belief? Who, going upon a journey; does not ponder the end of it ? And is not life a Journey, and death its close for all of us ? And until we can feel that- whether it come slow or sudden, vVe can place our hands quietly in its cold ones, and say, “ I am ready to go,” we cannot be “quiet,” we have not learned to live. Oh, reader, for us all, the “ tents will soon be struck, and the curtains withdrawn,” and the “green waves” will be subsiding over our hearts; and the petty cares, and trials, and cordanances of this world will be supplanted by the grand in terests of eternity; so let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: “Fear God and keep His for this is the whole duty of ian.” V. F. TANARUS, — Arthur’s Home Magazine, IN THE WORKSHOP. “ You are not g oi ng to put in that piece of wood, Richard ?” said one workman to another. “ Yes I am. No one will be the wiser for it,” was answered. “But someone may be wronged by it.” “No very serious wrong. The worst that can happen, will be a rickety drawer.” “ But, Richard, if y#u will take the trouble to go up into the third story, and select a better seasoned piece of wood, you will then be able to furnish a drawer that will always run smoothly.” “I am not going to take that trouble. Mrs. Thompson would be very far from putting herself out as much for me.” “It don’t strike me that you have anything to do with Mrs. Thompson’s disposition towards you, in the case. It is a simple question of right and wrong. You are at work on a bureau, for which she has agreed to pay our employer a cer tain price. The understanding is, of course, that the wood and workmanship are to be of good quality. Now, if you put in that piece of ‘wood, you will wrong both Mrs. Thompson and our em ployer. She will receive a defective, troublesome article, and he will be injured in his business; for Mrs. Thompson would hardly engage liim to make another piece of furniture after finding herself deceived in this. Your doing this thing, Rich ard, is, according to my notion, a violation of Christian charity.” “ I don’t see that Christian charity has anything to do in the matter. Mrs. Thompson crowded down in the price, and I am not too well paid for my part of the work. So, you see, I can’t afford to be hunting about after seasoned wood. This piece comes nicely to my hand, and I am going to use it.” “1 lxave nothing more to say,” replied the fel low-workman, “except to repeat my judgment of your act, and call it a violation of Christian char ity. Our praying, singing and Bible-reading, Richard, will not help us heavenward, unless we are just between man and man. The Christian profession is nothing without the Christian life. Our religion, in order to change us radically, must descend into all our commonest duties. It be longs as much to the shop as to the family, and as much to the family as to the sanctuary. If you put in that piece of wood, knowing, as you do, that it will render the bureau you are making permanently defective, you will hurt your own soul.” “ Don’t trouble yourself about my soul,” was the rather short reply. “ I will take good care of that. If you hadn’t said so much about it—mag nifying a molehill into a mountain—l might have selected a better piece of wood. But this shall go in now. I’ll risk the consequences.” “ The risk may be greater than you imagine. It generally is in all such cases,” was the grave re ply. And here the remonstrance closed. Richard Wheeler, the journeyman cabinet-maker, worked in the unseasoned piece of wood, and went on to finish the bureau, which was sent home at the time agreed upon, and the price paid. We do not know whether the* suggestions of his fellow workman remained with him or not, or whether the unseasoned piece of wood troubled in any wise his conscience. Time passed on. The bureau, which had been placed in the chamber of Mrs. Thompson, gave good satisfaction for a time; but the unseasoned piece of wood failed at length to do its proper duty, and the drawer began halting in its work. The disproportionate shrinkage of one side of the drawer bent all the parts out of line, and so the opening and closing thereof was always attended with more or less difficulty. Richard, the journeyman who made the bureau, was in the wareroom one day when Mrs. Thomp son came in, and with some warmth of manner, said to his employer: “I don’t think you have, dealt fairly by me in that bureau, Mr. Cartwright.’’ “ Rather a grave charge, Mrs. Thompson,” re plied the cabinet-maker. “ Why do you say so?” “You haven’t made it of properly seasoned wood—a thing for which I particularly stipula ted,” said the lady. “ I beg your pardon, MadamMr. Cartwright spoke with visible indignation; “ the wood was properly seasoned.” “ I say that it was not.” Mrs. Thompson was growing excited. “ Why, there’s one drawer, in particular, so all awry from shrinkage in some parts of it, that it requires more humoring to get it in and out than I have the patience to give: I’m tempted some days to have the whole thing pitched into the street. It would be a disgrace to the poorest cabinet-maker in the city.” This was rather more than Mr. Cartwright could bear, lie lost temper entirely, and gave Mrs. Thompson so bluff a reply, that she went off in a passion, threatening, as she did so, to warn all of her friends against the cabinet-maker’s establish ment. Richard made a hasty retreat from the ware room to the workshop. Ilis state of mind was not one to be envied. Here was the evil fruit of his wrong act; and what a monstrous production from so small a seed! He had not only been unjust to Mrs. Thompson, but had seriously in jured his employer; for it was plain that custom would be diverted from his establishment through his improper act. The ourneyman carried a sober heart home with him at the close of that day.- Ilis fellow- w r orkman, the one who had remonstrated with him about putting into the bureau drawer an un seasoned piece of wood, called for him after sup per to go with him to religious meeting, but Richard declined. For the first time he saw clearly the want of agreement between his con duct in this particular, and that which was de manded by the divine law of justice from man to man. “ Come 1” urged his fellow-workman. But Richard said, “ No, not to-night,” in such a resolute way-, that he was left to himself. He passed the evening in a very unhappy frame of mind. On the next Sunday he attended clwrcli as usual. He was still troubled in his thoughts by what had occurred. Singularly enough it seemed to him that almost every sentence spoken by the preacher had a more or less remote application to himself. Every proposition was a mirror in which lie could see his own distorted image. But the closing portions of the sermon, when the preacher gathered his generalities together, and condensed them in specific applications, smote him with humiliating convictions of wrong. “No man can be a Christian,” said the minis ter, “ who is not faithful in his common, daily, life-pursuits. The judge must administer justice from equity, and not from favor, or the lure of bribes, The physician must regard thfhfeand EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. VOL XXIV. NUMBER 21 health of his patient above all other considera tions. The merchant must deal justly, and the mechanic execute his work in all things faithfully. It will not answer to disregard these tilings. My brother”—and the minister warmed in his man ner, as he leaned over the pulpit, and looked, as it seem to Richard, directly into the pew* where he sat—“do not hope to reach Heaven by the old way. You must walk in another and nar rower road. Let us supposeyou are a workman. Now, what is Christianity in the workshop? You must take it wit-li you there, remember. You cannot leave it behind you, go where you will; for it is no loosely fitting garment, hut an ele ment of life. Yes, you must take it with you into the workshop, my brother. Not as the Bible in your hand, nor as hymns to make the air mel odious, nor as pious talk with fellow-workmen* No, no; workshop Christianity consists in a re ligious fidelity to your employer and his custom ers. If you neglect or slight the work you are paid to perform, you commit sin, you are irreli gious, and your pious acts will go for nothing.” What further the preacher said, Richard knew not. Ho passed, in his application, to trader, manufacturer and the various professions in life, but his thought was hound by the artizan’s duty. “ A sad thing happened this morning,” said Richard’s wife, on his return from work one day in the following week. “ Mrs. Thompson broke a blood vessel, and now lies very ill. The doc tors have hut little hope of her recovery.” “How did that happen?” asked the mechanic, with a sudden sense of uneasiness. “She was trying to push in a drawer that didn’t run smoothly, when it caught, and the jar, I be lieve, caused the blood vessel to break. It was a bureau drawer. What’s the matter, Richard? You look pale ! Arc you sick ?” His wife spoke these last sentences in a tone of anxiety. “ I don’t feel very well,” lie answered; “but it’s nothing of consequence. Did you say that she was thought to be in danger?” “Yes, she lies very low.” Richard turned his face away. When supper was placed before him, he tried to eat, in order that his wife might not see how deeply he was troubled; but only a few mouthsful passed his lips. Silent, and apart from the family, he sat during the evening; and the night which followed was, for the most part, sleepless. On his way to work, the next morning, Richard went past the dwelling of Mrs. Thompson. He almost feared to look at the house, when he came in sight, lest death-signs on the door should give the fatal inteliigenco of her dissolution. He breathed more freely when he saw that all re mained as usual. So anxious was he that lie stopped and made inquiry as to her condition. “Something better.” How the words made his heart leap. “ Is she out of danger ?” he asked, almost trem blingly. “Oh no, but the doctor speaks encouragingly.” Richard went on his way. At night, as he re turned homeward, he called to inquire again. “She is no worse.” ’this was all the comfort he received, and on this he passed another rest less night. “If she dies, am not I her murderer?” This was the thought that troubled him so deeply, and made him so anxious about the life ot Mrs Thompson. It was more than a week before danger seemed passed, and then the unhappy workman breathed more freely. Hov? the thin white face and feeble steps of Mrs. Thompson re buked him, a month afterwards, as he met her one day in the street. lie could not rest after that until he had obtained possession of the bu reau drawer, and adjusted it so accurately to its place that it might be moved in and out by the hand of a child. In doing this lie took care to remove the defective piece of wood. “Why have you done this?” It was the sud den question of Mrs. Thompson, as Richard, hav ing made all right, was about leaving the house. He was confused. “ I did not send for you to do this.” The dark eyes of Mrs. Thompson looked out from their hollow sockets upon the almost st artled workman. “There was an unseasoned piece of wood in that drawer,” said Richard, speaking with as much calmness as he could assume. “ I wrongly placed it there, and I alone am to blame. Mr. Cartwright believed that every part of the work was of seasoned wood, according to agreement. He never meant to wrong you. He is an honest man. Oh, ma’am! if you can forgive me, do so, for since the accident to yourself 1 have been one of the most wretched of men.” “ I can do no less than forgive,” answered the lady, gravely, “and I hope God will forgive also, for you liavo been the agent of a great wrong.” The journeyman cabinet-maker retired, with a lesson in his heart that it was impossible ever to forget. After that he tried to bring his religion into the workshop, and he was successful, in a good degree. It was then, and not till then, that he began really moving heavenward. Before, ho depended on states of feeling, but now on just acts to his neighbor, grounded in a religious prin ciple.—T. S. Arthur. NAMES OF COLORS—A BRIGHT SALESMAN. fW vocabulary of colors is always progressive, though not always increasing. New names are perpetually introduced, but their old ones are perpetually dropped, so that the aggregate is maintained nearly in equilibria. A novelty in this line was lately introduced at a fashionable shop; not, however, by the shopkeeper, but by his cus tomer. A lady with great exquisiteness of man ner, asked for dress-silks—” not a gray, nor a lead-color, but a subdued mouse!” ‘ The smart young man behind the counter expressed his re gret that “ that shade of color had not yet been introduced in the French studios; but he in formed the lady that he could show her the next best thing, which was enraged rat l ” The lady, not taking, or not relishing, the wit of the unlucky clerk, immediately reported him to his employer as “an impertinent puppy,” whereupon the em ployer, as in policy bound, summarily notified the youth that he had no further ocoasion for his serviees. Probably, the misfortune of the young man will not be permanent, for the subdued brass of his answer to the lady will make its way in these fast times, and he will hardly bo Os employment. This joke would b rather a one if it were “ made up,” but bemg htera y it is worth preserving. “What women could do if they could not cry, notody know.
