A Lone Nigger.?During the war a
"contraband" came into the Federal lines
in North Carolina and was marched up to
the officer of the day to give an account of
himself, whereupon the following colloquy
ensued;
"What's your name ?"
"My name's Sam."
"Sam what ?"
"No, sah; not Sam Watt; I'se jist Sam."
"What's your other name ?"
"I hasn't got no other name, sah. I'se
Sam, dat's all."
"What's your master's name ?"
"I'se got no massa now; massa runned
away ; yah! yah! I'se free nigger now."
"Now what's your father and mother's
name:
"I'se got none, sah; neber had none.
I'se jist Sam?aint nobody else."
"Haven't you any brothers and sisters ?"
I "TCpfipr had nnnp. No brud
der, no sister, no fadder, no mudder, no
massa, nothin' but Sam. When you see
Sam you see all dere is of us."

"How Can I Coom?"?The following
story is good because it is true. We had it
from the lips of a good woman, who was
tol(f it by the principal actor herself: "Ven
I first come to Filadelfy to serve, I was
very uncivil," said Katrine, now a tidy servant
in a respectable family; "I laugh
mooch, and I feel ashamed to remember
how I behave ven I know so little. Schon,
tat was my beau?Schon, he took me to de
teater one night, ven I been in Filadelfy
but three weeks. We sits in te gallery, and
we not see goot, and Schon said he would
get a better seat. So he puts his leg round
der post and shlides down mit ter pit, and
looks up and calls out: 'Katrine ! Katrine!
coom down ! tish a good place here!' and I
lean over and said: 'How can I coom down,
Schon V and he said, 'Schust shlide down !'
So I put my legs round der pillar, and
shlides down. Donder! how de people
laugh; dey laugh so dey play no more dat
night upon the stage. Everybody laugh
and yell, and whistle all over der house. I
was much ashamed den, tough I knew not
any harm. But now I blushes red every
time I tinks mit it."?Exchange.
jggy* A Western paper relates this story:
"Deacon B., of Ohio, a very pious man,
was noted for his long prayers, especially
in his family. One Monday morning the
deacon and his wife were alone, and, as was
his custom, after breakfast, a prayer was
offered. There being an unusual amount
of work that day, the deacon's prayer was
short, and seizing his hat and milk pail he
started for the barn. His wife being deaf
did not notice his absence, but supposed
him to be still engaged in prayer. On his
return from milking, he was surprised to see
her still kneeling. He stepped up to her
and shouted 'Amen,' when she immediately
arose and went about her work as if
nothing had happened."
$3^. "Well, Doctor," said a chap, suffering
with the toothache, "how much do you
ax for the job ? Guy, but you did it quick,
though !" "My terms," replied the dentist,
"are one dollar." "A dollar for one
minute's work ! One dollar?thunder!?
Why, a doctor down at our place drawed a
tooth for me two years ago, and it took him
two hours. He dragged me all around the
room, and lost his grip half a dozen times.
I never seed such hard work?and he didn't
charge me but twenty-five cents. A dollar
for a minute's work ! Oh, get out! you
must be jokin."
A Western Speech.?"My competitor
has told you of the services he rendered his
country in the late war. Let me tell you
that I, too, acted an humble part in that
memorable contest. When the tocsin of war
onmmnnpil thft chivalrv of the west to rally
to the defence of the national honor, I, fellow-citizens,
animated by the patriotic spirit
which glows in every American bosom,
hired a substitute for the war, and the bones
of that man now lie bleaching on the banks
of the Mississippi."
gfcay An old mulatto was asked if he was
legally married to the woman whom he
called his "wifeto which he replied:
"Yes. We had no minister, but we took a
hold each other's hand, knelt down together,
and I axed her if she'd be my wife till deth.
She said yes; and she axed me if I'd be her
husband till deth. I said yes; and then
we took the Lord's name in vain, and we
was lawfully married."
jjgf* A drunken German in California,
who had borne patiently many insults from
a young man who was making game of him,
at last turned, and assuming much dignity,
thus addressed his tormentor : "Meester,
mind vat I say. I he's drunk, and you
he's sober ; but veu 1 vants a shentleman,
den I wouldn't swap mit you; ven I vants
a man, den I wouldn't swap mit you ; but
ven I vants a shackass den I swaps quick."
A sea captain trading regularly to
the African coast, was invited to meet a
committee of a society for the evangelization
of Africa. Among numerous questions
touching the religion of the African races,
he was asked, "Do the subjects of King Da
homey keep Sunday ?" "Keep, Sunday ?"
he replied; "yes, and every other darned
thing they can lay their hands on."
Josh Billings was asked, "IIow fast'
does sound travel?" and his idea is that it
depends a great deal upon the noise you
are talking about. "The sound of a dinnerhorn,
for instance, travels half a mile in a
second, while an invitashun to git up in the
morning, i have known to be 3 quarters uv
an hour goin' up 2 pair ov stairs, and then
not hav strength left to be heard."
jggf* A darkey hereabouts, on being ousted
from a barber's chair, in which he had
deposited himself with the intention of being
shaved, expostulated with the barber,
threatened with the Civil Rights Bill, and
finally asked, "Don't yer cut hair in dis
yer shop?" "Yes," replied the barber,
we cut hair, but not wool."
S&*- Uncle.?"I dare say when I take
you home again, Charlie, your mamma will
have you a nice present for you. What
would you like best, my boy?a little brother
or a little sister?" Charlie (after some
consideration)?"Well, if it makes no difference
to ma, I'd rather have a little pony-"
"Biddy, did you put an egg in the
coffee, to settle it ?" "Yes, mum ; I put in
four; they were so bad, I had to use the
more of them."
WHEN TO BUY A FARM.
Very few perfons seem to know that the
months of June and July are the best in the
year in which to look for or purchase a i
farm. At this season one can judge whether
the land can or does produce good crops; i
for, if it is rich, the waving grass and grain i
will be ocular demonstration of the fact; i
and if there is, according to the stereotyped
assertion, an abundance of choice fruit, it
can be seen at this time to the best advan- i
tage. The low lands will show whether
they are really dry enough for pastures in i
summer, and the upland its capacity for i
withstanding a drought. If there are any
mosquitoes about, they will usually make
their presence known at this time if ever ; i
and hv ohaervinc the children in the neiffh- i
J """ O " # # o
borhood one can readily determine whether
the locality is a health)- one or otherwise.
Summer is also a very good time to view the
never failing spring and trout pond near
by, and a draught from the one and a lunch
from the otner are attractions which those
who posses them seldom fail to bestow upon
those who are likely to become purchasers.
Even the weeds upon a farm will assist
a man in determining its value; for, if
but stunted rag-weeds and five-finger are
to be seen then, the land may be set down
as poor indeed; but if burdocks and catnip i
abound, it shows strength to produce crops
of a higher order.
The pasture and meadow, orchard and j
garden, all show what they are and what
may be expected of them in these months;
but earlier or later the aspect of things may
change. In the spring the trees have not
shown leaves, flowers or fruit; the roads
are muddy if ever; and the distance from
the railroad station to the farm appears to
be much greater than it actually is, especially
to a stranger. In autumn the leaves are
turning yellow, the grain has been gathered,
i .i . J 1..LL1. .11 ii <. '
ana me ury siuuuie is an mat i ciuamo, auu
the fruits are nearly gone?still the air is
fresh and the landscape glowing with autumn
tints; but the valuable properties of
the farm, which are its products, are mainly
out of sight, being stored in the barn or
in the proprietor's pocket.? Weekly Sun.
Food of the Ox and Horse.?Ruminating
animals gather their food rapidly, give
it a few cuts with the teeth, and swallow it.
It goes to an interior receptacle, where it is
moistened; this is very essential, if it be
dry hay. When the animal has filled himself,
he masticates the food thus stowed
away in his stomach, raising it cud by cud.
When a portion is completely masticated,
it passes to another receptacle, and the process
of digestion goes on. Thus an ox, if
left to himself, will raise and masticate all
the food thus stowed away in his stomach.
If he be pushed and worked hard, and does
not have much time to masticate, he falls off
in flesh, his health is poor, his digestion incomplete.
The horse, on the contrary, however
much in a hurry he may be, must masticate
each mouthful before he swallows it.
A hungry ox let into a meadow will fill
himself in twenty minutes, while a horse
would want at least an hour and twenty
minutes to take the same amount of grass.
The ox, deer, sheep, goat, .chamois, and
rabbit, being the natural prey of ferocious (
beasts, are endowed with the extra stomach i
in which hastily to stow away the food with- 1
out mastication. This may be regarded as
a wise provision of nature, enabling them
to sally forth where the food is plenty, and j
in a short time fill themselves, and retire to
a place of safety, to ruminate their feed at ,
their leisure.
A Real Charm.?A young farmer found ''
that he was getting poorer and poorer every ]
day. He went to a friend to ask his advice. '
This friend, with a very grave face, said: {
"I know of a charm that will cure all that; !
take this little cup, and drink from it every :
P * A L A _A iL. 1
morning 01 me waier you must gei ai me
crystal spring. But remember, you must
draw it yourself, at 5 o'clock, or the charm ]
will be broken." ,
Next morning the farmer walked across j
his fields, for the spring was at the further j
end of the estate. Seeing a neighbor's cows }
which had broken through the fence and s
were feeding on his pasture, he turned them j
out and mended his fence. The laborers (
were not yet at hand. When they came (
loitering after their proper time, they were j
startled at seeing master up so early. 1
"Oh," said he, "I see how it is ; it comes
of getting up in time." I
This early rising soon became a pleasant j
habit; his walk and cup of water gave him ,
an appetite for breakfast, and the people j
were, like himself, early at work. He saw \
that the advice his friend had given him (
was as good as it is simple, for the charm that j
saved him was early rising. (
Pumpkins amongst Corn.?Almost all
"old-fashioned farmers" take off a crop of
pumpkins from their corn-fields, much to J
the annoyance of the theorist, who demonstrates
to his entire satisfaction that the .
one crop must detract from the full force of
the other. But the most careful experi- .
ments show no loss to the corn. The same ,
weight results from an acre, with or without
the pumpkins. It does, at first thought, ,
seem as if it ought not to be so. If it takes
just so many bushels of corn to fatten a
hog, it is not clear how we are to fatten two
from the same quantity. This is the argument
of the theorizer. But the facts are
as we have stated; and the reason probably
is, that the pumpkin and corn feed on entirely
different foods in the soil, so that the
one can go on without'the other.? Western ,
Rural.
Keep of Cows.?A correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph wishes that lie could
make the truth vivid to every keeper of
cows, that the care of them is something
that requires knowledge and painstaking
in details. Cows must not be neglected or
deprived of sufficient food. Good shelter
and abundance of food they must have if
we would make them profitable. Evenness
of local temperature is a necessity. If the
weather is cold or wet without doors, they
should be made warm and dry within the
stable. If the sun shines too hot, they
should have the privilege of shade. When
a cow becomes uncomfortable, the flow of
her milk is restrained. A cow will return
to you just in proportion as you confer
care upon her.
On the Island of Jersey, where the
staple production is early potatoes (Irish)
for the London market, the land is heavily
manured with seaweed, stable manure and
Peruvian guano. One acre is valued at
one hundred and sixty pounds sterling,
equal to more than one thousand dollars in
greenbacks.

A SENSATION ROMANCE.
In the month of February last, a young
man, who was a clerk in one of the Departments
at Washington, inserted a call for
lady correspondents in our columns, and
shortly afterward among the answers he received
was one from New York city that
specially attracted his attention. It was
written in a delicate female hand, evidently
from a young miss of education and refinement.
In the course of events, photographs
were exchanged, to the mutual satisfaction
of the parties interested; and close upon
this a declaration of love and proposal,
which was also accepted, neither of the parties
having as yet seen the other. Indeed,
so far was the affair carried that a day was
appointed for the wedding, and a few days
before the appointed time the lover started
for New York to meet his expected bride
tor the tirst time, xne meeting toos piace
as appointed, and the parties proceeded directly
to the proper authorities, by which
they were united in the holy bands of matrimony.
He now, for the first time, learned
that his new-made wife was the daughter
of wealthy parents, who were in blissful
ignorance of their daughter's conduct, and
were laboring under the happy impression
that she was at that time visiting friends in
another part of the city.
After a brief honeymoon of three days
at a hotel on Canal street, the happy bridegroom
found it necessary, by expiration of
his leave of absence, to return to Washington,
and, as a matter of course, had no
thought of leaving his young wife behind
him. After a short consultation, the happy
couple determined to wait upon the iady's
parents and inform them of what had taken
place, procure their forgiveness and blessing,
and depart in peace. Never was "love's
young dream" more rudely broken. The
young bride's mother went into hysterics;
the father raged and stormed; the sisters
out-Niobedthe famed daughter of Tantalus;
and the brothers, of whom there are three,
proceeded to reek summary vengeance upon
the intruder, making an attack in force upon
him then and there. But the newlymade
husband was, fortunately for himself,
f* t 1 t 1 i . n
oi a gooa pnysique, Desiaes Deing a scientinc
boxer, and soon placed the two eldest hors
du combat, while the youngest made his
exit through the back parlor window, taking
with him the poker with which he had
armed himself.
Matters being in this condition, the husband
returned to his hotel, leaving his wife
with her family. After several ineffectual
attempts at a reconciliation with the head
of the family, he obtained an interview with
the mother, who utterly refused to allow
him to see his wife, as she did not think
her daughter could be kept in a style to
which she had been accustomed on four dollars
a day, the amount of his salary. The
young man being firm in his determination
to have his wife, her father finally gave her
the choice of going with her husband and
being disinherited and cut off from her
family. She chose to remain; but in a
short time began a clandestine correspondence
with her husband. But this was soon
discovered and stopped by the prying mother
; and a short time since he was notified
of steps being taken for a divorce, and a
lawyer waited on him to offer negotiations
to that effect.
Upon this, the young man, becoming disgusted
with the affair, made a package of
tier letters, pictures, the marriage certifi3ate,
&c., and expressed them, valued at
"one cent," to his wife. He was agreeably
surprised, a few days afterward, to receive
i check from his father-in-law of $2,000,
md a promise to increase the amount to
$5,000 if he would leave this part of the
country-, lie has already resigned his
clerkship, and sails for California about the
1st of August, well pleased with this speculation,
as he terms it.? Wavcrley Magazine.
Doctors and Ministers in Sweden.?
[n Sweden a physician makes no charge
whatever for medical attendance, and, what
s more remarkable still, very many of the
loonle who can afford to nav for the ser
1 ^ # r w
rices of a doctor are willing to avail them(elves
of such aid without paying anything
.'or it. One physician told me that of nine;y-six
cases that he had treated, within a
certain time, only six paid him at all! It
s customary for those who do pay to pay
ay the year, and fifty-six dollars, or twelve
fVmerican dollars, would be a large sum for
lersons in good circumstances to give for
die benefit of a physician's counsel for a
whole year. There is, therefore, no great
nducement, in the way of profit, to go into
;he medical profession. Nor is it an introluction
to society, the physician not being
in this respect materially above the apothecary
in social standing.
The clergy, as a profession, are not materially
better off than the physicians. Their
pay comes from the state, but their salaries
ire very small, and, with only here and
there an exception, they have very little
influence, social or political. They are not
men of learning, and perhaps they are as
influential as they could be expected to be.
The established religion is Lutheran, with
Dne archbishopric, with 3500 clergymen.
They are said to be "highly educated," but
I was assured that there is a great lack of
education among the clergy, and the very
small salaries which even the dignitaries receive
would confirm the statement that the
church does not retain the aid of learned
and able men.

Hints to Graziers.?A heifer or cow
will make beef earlier than a steer. An old
cow, or an old sheep, will not fatten nearly
30 well with hay as with grass. The
longer the straw of any kind, the worse as
fodder; short straw is said to be, invariably,
the most nutritious. Cattle always prefer
that which is fresh threshed, a day even

ORIGINAL AND SELECTED.
THE PASTOR'S APPEAL.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "HERBERT ATHERT0N," AC.
Ye who have sat for weary years
And criticised my voice and tone.
And sorrowed that the word of God
By hands so feeble should bo sown ;
My Christian friends, a suppliant,
Your Pastor comes to you, this day,
And asks you in the name of Christ,
For his immortal soul to pray.
Tempted without, and weak within,
Storm-tossed and tempest-driven
I struggle 'mid wild waves of sin,
To point to you the shores of Heaven.
The very office that I bear
Attracts the wily tempter's eyes,
Forwhere there floats a leader's plume,
There quick the foe man's arrow flies.
Although of all my own dark sins
I cannot tell the vast amount,
For souls committed to my charge
I shall be called to give account.
O Christian friends, will ye not heed
TUa 1 T
aiio nuioiiiu wuru" i o^caiv mm ut*jr,
And for a blessing in Christ's name
Upon your Pastor, humbly pray!
BEING OF GOD.
This is the grandest subject to which the
mind of man can be directed. The studying
of God, as revealed in his works, in his
providence, and in his word, is the proper
study of man. To know God, as revealed
either in His works or his word, produces
within us holy feelings, heavenly aspirations
and righteous acts. Some men pretend
to believe that there is no God. The
lives of these men are fearful commentaries
on such a theory. God, in his word, says
it is the fool says there is no God, and the
observation of the human family proves
this to be true.
Long and.labored essays have been written
to prove the existence of a Supreme
being. These were scarcely necessary.
No man needs any proof on the subject.
No man has ever been found who had no
god. It matters not how degraded by ignorance,
he has a being?falsest jnay be?
that he regards Supreme. We are so constituted,
that we believe in the existence of
a Supreme being as intuitively as we believe
in our own existence. Clear views, however,
of the character of God can only be learned,
by fallen man, from the Bible. The gods
of heathen nations are necessarily many ;
but an enlightened reason teaches us that
there can be but one!
DRUNKENNESS.
The most common of all sins is drunkenness
; and both in a spiritual and temporal
point of view, it is the most ruinous in its
consequences. It is a great pity that men
cannot universally see this ; but men seem
to be blind in this matter. They are slow
to learn from observation. The moderate
dram-drinker pities the sot as he reels on
the side-walk and totters into the ditch,
never thinking that his latter end, in all
probability, will be like this poor creature's.
No sane man will deny that drunkenness
ruins the mind. Every neighborhood contains
some living proof of this ; every little
village has some man who stupidly mopes
about its streets with glaring eyes, flushed
cheek, tremulous hand, and vacant look?
all the work of the intoxicating bowl. But
drunkenness consumes our earthly possessions.
It makes the rich man poor; it
takes the owner of a palace to the poor
house ; it clothes his wife with sadness and
his children with rags; it fills our prisons;
it produces crime, and fosters it in its most
flagrant aspect. But more than all, drunkenness
unfits us to serve God in this world
and to enjoy him in the next.
THE PROGRESS OF CHRISTIANITY.
The dissemination of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ is worthy of serious attention.
Not quite nineteen hundred years ago, Jesus
appeared in the land of Palestine. He
established a religion the same as that enjoyed
by the Jews, under Moses and the
prophets. The same as that held by the
Patriarchs of old. This religion was in
SDirit and form totally different from the
religion of the other nations of the earth.
To-day, in spite of the hatred of wicked
men, the religion of Jesus lives and flourishes.
Heathen temples give place to Christian
churches; Pagan gods fall prostrate
before Jesus of Nazareth. No man can
account for the progress of the gospel in
any other way than that it is from Heaven.
Its effects are heavenly. It drives away
ignorance and superstition, and brings to
light, life and immortality.
A Snare of Satan.?If we exanine with
care the feeling of self-doubt which ties the
lips and hands of many, and which we arc
accustomed to call modesty, we shall find
that is is not modesty all through. The
outer coating of the Atlantic cable is made
of gutta-percha, but the core is composed of
triple strands of twisted wire. So, this
harmless-looking rope, which winds its folds
round dumb Christians, soft and silken as
it may seem without, has iron inside?three
wicked wires, forged in the furnace of the
pit?Envy, Emulation, Pride?envy, that
some surpass all; pride, which tells you to
be nothing if you cannot be best. 0, it is
the devil's rope! Break it asunder, and
cast its bonds from you. Dig up your buried
talents, be they one or ten. Work
with all your might. If others can work
with superior might, thank God that his
cause has such champions, and work on.?
Exchange.
In the Way.?A mother who was preparing
some flour to mix into bread, left it
for a few moments, when little Mary?with
childish curiosity to see what it was?took
hold of the dish, which fell to the floor,
spilling the contents. The mother struck
the child a severe blow, saying with anger,
that she was always in the way ! Two
weeks after little Mary sickened and died.
On her death-bed, while delirious, she asked
her mother if there would be room for her
among the angels. "I was alwaj's in your
way, mother; you had no room for little
Mary! And will I be in the angel's way ?
Will there be no room for me?" The broken-hearted
mother then felt that no sacrifice
could have been too great cOuld she
have saved her child.
"The Sabbath must be observed as
a day of rest. This I do not state as an
opinion, but knowing that it has its foundation
upon one law in man's nature as fixed
as that he must take food or die.? Willard

OI R NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.
FriHE superior merits of the "Singer" Machines
X over all others, for Family use or Manufactu- |
ring purposes, are so well established and so generally
admitted, that an enumeration of their rela- ,
ti ve excellencies is no longer considered necessary. |
Our new Family Machine, which has been ,
brought to perfection regardless of-time, labor or
expense, is now confidently presented to the public
as incomparably the best Sewing Machine in
existence.
The Machine in question is simple, compact, durable
and beautiful. It is quiet, light running, (
and capable of performing a range and variety of
work never before attempted upon a single Ma- j
chine-using either SILK, TWIST, LINEN, OR
COTTON THREAD, and sewing with equal fa- (
cility the very finest and coarsest materials, and t
anyihing between the two extremes, in the most
beautiful and substantial manner. Its attach- |
inents for hemming, braiding, cording,Tucking. |
quilting, felling, trimming, binding, Ac., are novel ,
and practical, and have been invented and adjusted
especially for this machine. i
New designs of the unique, useful, and popular j
folding tops and cabinet casts, peculiar to the machines
manufactured by this Company, have been |
prepared for enclosinglhe new Machine.
A faint idea, hdwever, can at best be conveyed
through the medium of a (necessarily) limited ad- j
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person j
in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to examine
and test, if tney can possibly do so, all the j
leading rival machines beforo making a purchase. ^
A selection can then be made understandingly.
Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer" ,
Machines will be found in nearly every city and
town throughout the civilized world, where ma- <
chines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any infor- '
mation promptly furnished. Or communications ,
mav be ad< I ressed to

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
WORKING CHRISTIAN, !
A WEEKLY RELIGIOUS SEW8PAPEB,
TO BE EDITED BY 1
REV. TILMAN R. GAINES, ,
And published by Capt. L. M. Gbist, at the Office 1
ol the Yorkville Enquirer, Yorkville, S. C. <
a 1
HAVING secured a working capital of TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS, and arranged with 1
Capt. L. M. Grist, the successful proprietor of the 1
Yorkville Enquirer, to publish for me. I expect to 1
issue on the FIRST DAY OF JULY next, the
first number of The Working Christian* a week- 1
ly Religious Newspaper, to be elegantly printed
with new type, on good paper, and to contain
twenty-four wide columns. 1
This enterprise has originated in the conviction
that.such a paper is, at this time, specially needed 1
among our churches, to stir up the "pure minds !
of Christians" and "provoke them to love and good 1
works." It will contain valuable readingon matters
of practical importance, and will be specially 1
devotea to the interests of the Christian Religion. '
Its title?WORKING CHRISTIAN-partially
defines.tlie character of our paper, add suggests
the department in which we hope it will principally
labor. The epithet WORKING, is not to be
understood as opposing or excluding the gospel
faith which we are ever to hold and contend for; !
but as it was necessary for Paul to attend chiefly
to tht mysteries offaith, and James to the department
of works, so we propose, for the most part,
to leave the contending for the faith to others, and
content ourselves bv saving to all, "faith without
works is dead." We desire to send out our her- ,
aid weekly, to sound the alarm in the ears of the
churches: "Awake! Awake! put on thy strength,
O Zion and to earnestly beseech every Christian
in the land to "work while it is dav."
The term CHRISTIAN is intended to embrace
nothing more nor less than the word strictly imports,
viz: a follower of Christ, such as were they,
who were "first called Christians at Antioch."
It will contain the leading intelligence of the re- 1
ligious world as to Missions, and sy mpathize with
every enterprise which lias for its aim the progress
of the Saviour's kingdom. It will watch
the movementsof the churches?seek out working \
churches and working men, and report their ope- ,
rations and successes. Its columns will contain, ]
also, items of general intelligence. Itwill take no
part in politics, further than to give the latest po- ,
iitical news. Information on farming and gardening,
on education and all the departments of
useful industry, will be found in our paper.
Special attention will be paid to tne cause ot i
Sabbath Schools. Indeed, we hope to make our ]
paper very interesting to the young. i

An extra copy will be given to the person

None need entertain a single doubt as to the

arrangements have been made to conduct it that ;
long. Should anything, however, prevent us from
doing so, every cent for unexpired time will be
promptly returned to the subscribers. Then j
