Mnmatam SUT LOYESGOOD'S SHIRT. You know I boards with Bill Garr, at his cabin on the mountains, and pays for such as I gits when I hev money, and lor sich as I gits when I hevent eny. Why he take one-third out on me cussin, and she, that's Bets, takes out tother two-thirds with her battlin stick, and the interest with her tongue, and the interest's more'n the principle?a heap more. She is the eussedest woman I ever seed anyhow for jaw?and pride. She can scold a blister onto a bull's face right on the curl in two minutes? and pattern after every fashion she hears tell on from bussels to britches. Oh! she's one on 'em, and sometimes two or three. Well, you see, I got some cotton truck to make a new shirt outen, and coaxed Bets to make it, and about the time it was done here comes lawyer Johnson along and axed for breakfast?I wish it had pizened him, durn his hide, and I wonder it didn't for she cooks awful mixens when she tries. I'm pizen proof ir ii*\ V?in onrl rvnnnir\rr I myseu, ^UUlUlUg uy 11U uag uuu through it,) or I'd been dead long ago. Well, while we were eatin', she spied out that his shirt was stiff and mighty slick; so she never rested till she worried it outen him that a preparation of flour did it, and she got a few particulars about the proceedings outer him, and set in and biled a big pot of paste? nigh onto a peck of it?and soused in my shirt and let it soak awhile ; then she tuck it and ironed it out flat and dry, and sot it up on its edge agin the cabin in "the sun. Thar it stood as stiff as a dry boss hide, and it ratt led like a sheet of iron?it did. It were pasted together all over. When I come to dinner nothing would do but I must put it on. Well Bets and me got the thing open after some ' hard work, she pullin' at one of the tails and me at tother, and I got into it. Durn the infernal new fangled shirt, I say. I felt like I had crawled into a bee gum and it full of ant's; but it war like lawyer Johnson's, and I stood it like a man, and went to work to build Bets an ash hopper. I worked powerful hard, and sweat like a hoss, and when the shirt got wet it quit its hurtin'. Artur 1 got dun I took aoout iour nngers <>!' red eye and crawled up into the cabin to take a snooze. Well when I waked up I thought I was dead or had the cholera, for all the jints I could move war my ankle, wrist and knees? could not even move my head or skasly wink my eye?the cussed shirt was pasted fast onto me all over, from the ends of the tail to the pints of the broadaxe collar over ray ears. It sot to me as close as a hide to a poor cow in March. I strained and squirmed till I sorter got it broke at the shoulders and elbors, and then dun the durndest foolishest thing ever dun in these mountains. I shuffled my pants oft' and tore loose from my hide about two inches of the tail all around in much pain and tribulation. Oh! but it did hurt! Then I tuck up a plank inter the loft and hung my legs down through the hole and nailed the edge of the front tail to the floor before me, and the hind tail to the plank I sot on. I unbuttoned the collar and wristbands, raised my eyes, said grace and then jumped to the ground floor. Here Sut remarked sadly : "George, I'm a darnder fool than ever dad was, hoss, hornet's and all. I'll drown myself some of these dov9, see if I don't." "Well, go on, Sut; did the shirt come off?" "1 t-h-i-n-k i-t d-i-d! I hearn a noise sorter like tearing a shingle roof off uv a house all at wonst, and felt like my bones were all that reached the floor. I staggered to my feet, and took a look at my shirt. The nails had hilt their holt, and thar it was hangin', arms down, inside out, as stiff as ever. It looked like the Map of Mexico just arter one of the first battles?a patch of hide, just about the size of a dollar and a half bill here; a bunch or har about the size of a bird thar; then some more har; then skin ; and so on all over that darned fangled everiastin' infernal cuss of a shirt. It was a picture to look at? so was I. The hide, har and paste were about equally divided between me and it. Wonder what Bets?darn her?thot when she come home and found me miasm'. Speet she thinks 1 crawled into a thicket an' died of my wounds. It must have scared her good, for I tell you it looked like the skin of a wild beast torn off alive, or a bag that had covered a load of fresh beef home from a shootin' match." Durn lawyer Johnson and his slick shirt. A Story from "Ned Brace."?A friend, says the Columbus Sun, sends us the following story from "Ned Brace," the famous humorist of "Georgia Scenes." We do not remember to have heard it before, and do not t hink it has ever been in print: Mr. Bacon, of Edgefield, South Carolina, the hero of the Georgia scenes, under the name of Ned Brace, was once courting a lady either in Georgia or Carolina. She had refused him frequently, and he as often renewed bus suit. At one interview she became exceedingly annoyed at his importunity and told him she could not marry him, that their tastes, opinions, likes and dislikes were totally different; "in feet," said she, "Mr. Bacon,! don't think there is any subject on earth upon we agree." "I assure you, Madam, that you are mistaken," said Mr. Bacon, "and I can prove it." "If you will mention one thing about which * we agree," said she, "I will marrv you." "Well," said Mr, Bacon, "I rill do it.? Suppose, now, you and I were travelling to???t hor up arrive at ni<rht at a hotel, and there ... _ O ? arc only two beds vacant, in one there is a man and in the other a woman, which bed would you select to sleep in?" She arose indignantly and replied, "with the woman, of course, sir." "So would I," earnestly replied Mr. Bacon. ? + Wasn't Pushing Him.?Some time ago, on a Sabbath, we wended our way to one of 1 he churches, and instead of a sermon heard an address upon some missionary or other benevolent subject. After the address was concluded, two brethren were sent round for contributions. Parson L was one of the basket liearers, taking the side upon which we sat. immediately in our front, and upon the next seat, negligently reclined friend Bill H , a gentleman of infinite humor and full of dry jokes. Parson Iy? extended the basket, and Bill slowly shook his head. "Come. William, give us something." said the parson. "Can't do it," said Bill. "Why not ? la not the cauge a good one ?" "Yes; but 1 am not able to give anything." "Pooh! pooh! I know better; you must give a better reason than that." "Well, I owe toomueh money ; I must be just before I am gemtfbYis you know." "But, William, you owe God a larger debt than you owe any one else," "That's so, parson, but- then 1ms ain't pushing me like the balance of my creditors,'* The parsons face got in rather a curious condition as he passed on. At St. Louis, not long ago, a couple of rural individuals were walking alopg the levee. Some of the sewer mouths were espo?; sed, and a few of the smaller ones were broken down go that they looked like natural springs. One of the countryman, who was, walking in front of the other, suddenly called out, "Look a here, Jim, here's another spring." "Well, gaul darn it,'" replied Jim, "if the water is no better in this one the last one. I don't want a drink from ji.' IftpattWMt. THE IRISH POTATO. SPRING, 8UMMER, FALL AND WINTER CROPS. It is not generally known that , the Irish Potato can be kept growing all seasons, making continual crops all the year round, but such is the truth of experience. To accomplish this, there has to be three general plantings:; 1st. In January and February, plant according to the size of the crop you propose to cultivate. 2d. In July and August, at any time or during the whole of these months, as you dig your potatoes for the market or for home consumption, plant all the middle or smaller siz es, keeping the largest for the tahie. mis planting will make you a fall and winter crop which you can dig and use from October to January. 3d. In November and Deeeml>er, while digging and consuming your fall and winter crops, again plant with the medium and smaller sized tubers, and this planting will surely make you a spring crop. . These three consecutive crops, from the barrel, or whatever quantity you start with, can be made by any person who will take the trouble to do it. As the time is at hand, and the potato vines are dead, I will proceed to give some necessaSr rules to be observed for summer planting. ig the potatoes before sunrise or after sunset, never allowing the sunshine to touch them, and house them by scattering them on a floor in some dark, dry room, for a few days?say two days to two weeks. If the sunshine ever touches them they will rot in the ground after planting. Always plant before sunrise or after sunset. The plain and obvious practice is, to dig two or more rows at a time, and to save the larger potatoes for the table, and to plant all the smaller ones. The land should be deeply and closely turnned over with a turn plow, or spade, and fur-j rows made three feet apart, and not over four' inchps hplnw t.he surface, for if nlnnted deen. as in spring planting, they will keep dry and not sprout and come up. Plant deep in dry summer weather, and you might as well put them away in the mummy vaults of Egypt. After dropping the potatoes in the furrows, fill up the furrows with any sort of vegetable mould, or garden rubbish, crop?or any sort of grass from the cleaning of beds, walks, or the yard, and cover lightly with soil, leaving the bed level. Afterwards, if grass appears on the bed, hoe it off?and keep the crop clean? bedding up as the vines grow larger and larger. It. is important to plant a good and improved variety of potatoes. For this section I prefer the "Goodrich Early Seedling." It costs 85.00 per barrel at J. M. Thorburn &*Go's., New York, or at D. Landreth & Sons', Philadelphia, Pa. This is a highly prolific potato, and was raised from the seed from the indegeneous potatoes of the mountainous country of South America. The Irish potato is a native of South America, aud was carried to England by RaMgh, and thence to Ireland, and "Pat," imitating the example of Americus Vespuceius, named it after himself. Winter and spring planting should be deeper, but summer planting shallow; the land in both cases enriched with decomposed manures, and a full and free use of vegetable mould and grasses. Nothing better in winter than cotton seed.?Exifala New*. TRADE IN HERBS AND ROOTS. An editorial letter in the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, dated Sparkling Catawba Springs, July 15th, says: Among the most popular, and at present, I believe, the most lucrative occupation in this immediate section, is the collection of "herbs and roots," and their shipment to Northern markets. I was not prepared to see the extent to which it was carried here. These herbs and roots are put up with much care, in bales about the size of cotton bales, weighing from'three hundred to three hundred and fifty pounds, but much neater in their appearance. From Hickory Station the shipments average almost a carload a day, bring mg to the railroad about t\\cnty dollars. Those shipped froin that station are from Catawba, Caldwell and Alexander counties.? They are sent principally to Boston and Philadelphia, and I saw hales directed to Chicago and Detroit. From Mr. Henry Wilfong, an enterprising merchant at Hickory Tavern, I learned that he was paying the following prices lor the various articles mentioned, from the neighbors who brought them in for barter, in greater or less quatities. It will be seen that many of these articles are to be found in great abundance in our geetion, and could be gathered with moi profit: Boots?Angelica, 6cents; Blood, 6 cents; Butterfly, 10 cents; Indian Turnip, 10 cents; Pink, 20 cents; Wormwood, 13 cents; Snake, 45 to 50 cents; Parsley, 14 cents. Leaves?Sage, 12 cents ; Boneset, 5 cents; ComfVey, 10 cents ; Peppermint, 8 cents: Hoarhound, 10 cents; Llder .(flowers,) 10 cents; Thoruapple, 10 cents. Berries and Seeds?Prickly-ash, .20 cents; Sumac, 0 cents; Sunflower, (seed,) 12 cents; Watermelon seed, 10 to 12 cents; Pricklyash bark, 10 cents. Setting Fence Posts.?The Oermantown (Pa.) Telegraph suggests that around each post used in fencing there should be closely packed a small mound of clay, which will keep the post hole from filling with water, and add to the longevity of the post, In setting fence posts in ground liable to heave, a one and a half inch wooden bolt should be placed through the bottom of the post, with its ends projecting. The wind would thus affect it less, and the frost cannot heave it out or loosen it. Loose posts rot much sooner than those which stand firm, and when the posts decay, the fence soon becomes useless. The Manufacturer and Builder. Planting Trees.?The Southern Cultivator says that the best time for transplanting trees in summer is just before the seeoudgrowth takes place, (about the 15th of August, but the time varies according to seasons and locality.) l .1 P 11 .More care is required man in ian or spring? the roots should not be allowed to get dry, and to guard against this, the operation should he performed at night. ( Jive frequent waterings, am} mulch well. <&"It may not be generally known that a few drops of oil and a small quantity of pulverized sulphur, added to turnip seed, and shaken in a bag a few minutes before sown, will prevent an attack of the "turnip fly;" this I have tried repeatedly, by sowing some thus dressed, and have succeeded ingrowing a good crop from the former, while the latter has been attacked by the fly. Sumac Wine.?The juice of the sumac berry is said to make a very pleasant and very wholesome beverage. In catarrhal, diarahoeal and dysyeptic disorders, it is said to be a very valuable medicine; hps been found a useful refrigerant in typhus fever; and it is believed would prove the best remedy yet found for cholera. The American Farmer has faith in and advises its cultivation. ? To Remove Creases from Velvet.? Hgve a n)Qd,erately t10t iron, held with the face upwards, wet the wrong side of the velvet, and (jfa>y it rapidly across the iron, hack and forth till dry. ' Be careful not to have the iron too hot, and by no means lay the velvet on a table and iron it. or it is ruined. ftwtfinj fot tl? JMMMi. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. THE CRITICAL PERIOD. Solomon says : "To every tiling there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven." No sentiment in the Bible is of more practical importance than that contained in the above quotation. It indicates, in no ambiguous words, that there is a critical period in every man's life. There is a point beyond which he cannot go with impunity.;? There is a period in every man's existence where he may prepare himself for being useful and honorable, and if this critical moment is neglected, the probability is he will never be either useful to society or himself. The principle is applicable both in naturals and morals. Few men have amassed fortunes who lived prodigals until they were forty. Few boys who spend their school-days in idleness become eminent in any of the learned professions. The man who plays the first half of his life, generally droiiM out the last half. In a moral point of view, the principle is just as evident. There is a time to repent? a season to return unto the Lord?and if thai time passes unimproved, it is not often thai the opportunity is again afforded. Religior has its Spring, Summer, Autumn, aud col<3 bleak Winter. Most of those who bring fort! fruit to the glory of God are converted ir youth. "They that seek me early shall fine me," is the gracious .promise of God, and mosl of those who despise this promise are given uj to blindness of mind and strong delusion.' Their consciences become callous, their sensi bilities grow cold, and their lusts and appe tites gain complete control over them; anc the Holy Spirit, "the quickener of sinners dead in trespasses and sins," takes his exi never more to return. No man can be too strongly impressed witl ia rtAoaikln Inim tA lilt; 11UJL fciiat it 10 nut jnsociuiu *v* converted at any period of his life. "Whils there is life there is hope," may be true ii some cases, but only as exceptions to the gen eral rule. Any youth may sin away his oi her day of grace. No declaration is mor< easily established by the teachings of the Bi ble. "He that being often reproved harden eth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, anc that without remedy." Nothing can be plain er than this passage, and it is only one o many of the same import. That individual who thinks he can repen at any time and puts off turning to God unti old age, is the subject of a fearful delusion Old age is the Autumn of life. Then thi fruits sown in Spring and cultivated in Summe: are gathered and enjoyed. As it was sown ii youth, so'shall it be garnered in Autumn. H< that sows in youth to the flesh, will in old ag< reap corruption. The critical period in ever man's life is "to-day" To-morrow may bi too late. The prolongation of life is by n< means an infallible evidence that God is stil waiting to be gracious. Ephraim was aliv but joined to his idols, and God said, let bin alone. God often, now, as of old, winks a man's sins; but this is no evidence that the] have not sinned away their day of grace, no: is it evidence that God will not punish then for despising His spirit and abusing theii privileges. RESifeAIMNG GRACE. It is impossible for us to estimate how mucl we owe to God for the restraints which he put upon the wicked. Ever}' community ha1 some men in it who may very appropriately he called "godless." These men are strange ly constituted, and most ol tfteir acts are mos unaccountable. They treat with contemp public opinion. They care for nobody, anc are indifferent whether any one cares for then or not. They respect no one, male or female honorable or dishonorable, rich or poor, gooc or bad ; nor do they care whether any one res pects them or not. If no restraints were pui upon these individuals no decent man coulc live near them. They have hearts wickec and malicious enough to burn our houses destroy our property, and take our lives. Hov thankful ought we to be to God that He re strains these wicked men and often make their wrath praise Him. Did God not con trol such men, who could walk the streets ol our cities or travel the high-ways in safety ? There are, in every little village men, wickec enough to murder all its inhabitants, whc think and act differently from themselves but God prevents them. It is God's restraining grace that prevents the wicked from des troying all that fear God and keep his com mandments. Had not God smitten the men of Sodom with blindness, who can tell to whal excesses they would have gone? There art Sodomites yet, whom God, in mercy, smites with blindness and thus saves many an innocent one from falling a victim to their lusts, "Christ is a full mercy, replenished with all that answers to the wishes or wants of sinners ; in Him alone is found whatever the justice of God requires for satisfaction, or the necessities of souls require for their supply. "Christ is an unsearchable mercy; who can fully express his wonderful name ? Who can tell his unsearchable riches ? Hence it is that ermic novpi- tiro in thestudv or love of Christ, because new wonders are eternally rising out of Him ; He is a deep which no line of an/ created understanding, angelic or human, cm fathom. "Lastly, Christ is an everlasting mercy; 'the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.' All other enjoyments are perishable, timeeaten things ; time, like a moth, will eat them out; but the riches of Christ are durable riches,' the graces of Christ are durah'e graces. All the creatures are flowers that appear and fade in their month; but this 'Rcee of Sharon,' this 'Lilly of the valleys,' nerer withers." Your Minister.?A stirring writer treating 011 another subject, incidentally says the following: "Poverty never commends an individual or an enterprise to public confidence and regard. If you wish your clergyman to be respected, appreciated, and influential, do not compel him, through pinching poverty, to appear in the pulpit in shabby apparel, to speak, it may be, to a congrepatior of well-dressed people. Though the sermon be excellent, yet, it he be compelled by poverty to appear at church with a seedv coat and a hat venerable for its antiquity, his influence, in this age, will be marred. It avails but little to argue that it ought not to be. ?

We take from the Imperialist the following article, as a model specimen of the spirit which should animate public journalists.? 1 Whether the reader agree or disagree with the imperial theories of the writer, he must admire the sincerity of purpose, devotion to principle, and disregard of consequences which breathe in every line. A journal animated by such a spirit as this must become a power in the land. Its high tone will ensure respect, and whether a mistaken theorizer or the prophet of a new politcal era, the influence of thfi Tmnerialixt nmst increase, and that, too, " A among the best classes of American citizens. For our part, we confess to a belief that the predicted empire is only a question of time, , and the reasoning of the Imperialist sometimes i almost convinces us that the sooner this con, summation is reached, the better it will be for , the country. But to the extract: , "In response to certain of our correspondents who accuse us of taking upon ourselves too much in opening this crusade of ours 1 against the evil powers that be, we have but ' a few words to say. Our office, important, t responsible, perilous even, is a humble one. c We plant the banner and sound the trumpet , call, but it is not ours to marshal the forces I that may respond to the call, much less to lead them in the conflict; and in this simple service?let us confess it is self-assumed?we 1 are perfectly irresponsible except to our own 1 consciences and to God. Patriotism has callt ed us to our post, and faith and hope inspire, ) animate and sustain us in our task. We use ? no cant when we say that both our faith and our hope are religious. In the name of God we have set up our banner. We believe in God?in His attributes, in His providence, in I His sovereign power and rule, both in heaven , and on earth. We hallow Him as our Fatht er in Heaven, the Supreme Ruler of Nations, the All-Wise Disposer of human events and j the destinies of men, the Final Judge of all, As His agents, so we believe we labor in Hh " cause?ths cause of humanity, and in humble 1 reliance on His guidance, protection and aid, i May we, without incurring the charge of ego tism, announce the fact ? Our work, so fai r as our journal is concerned, is already a sue3 cess, and we have the certainty that it will shortlv take no mean place as a press-powei in the land. The testimony which is borne by many of the more honorable among oui 1 opponents to its literary merits would nattei - our vanity if we were less used to tribute oi f this kind, and had not outlived this foible The incense is grateful, nevertheless; but j. far more delightful and cheering to us h , the fact that our simple, earnest, truthful words have come back to us in a thousand echoes, some of them, too, from quarters where 2 we hardly expected a favorable response, r The present is our 18th issue, and we have l already secured a position from which nc B power on earth can dislodge us. Intelligent thoughtful, observant, patriotic men, men ol B weight and of mark, not a few but many? 7 have given us a hearty God-speed. The e expectation with which we commenced oui 3 enterprise has been more than met?thai 1 we should give public utterances to the secrel 3 sentiments which lay concealed' in many bosoms. Our work is a most encouraging one to be the exponent and publisher of othei men's thoughts hitherto unexpressed. Lik( 7 the first teachers of Christianity, what ha* r been told us in the dark that speak we in the i light, and what we have heard in the ear thai r preach we on the house-top. When we say that we shall live and not die we speak of our cause, not of ourselves. We may die, some or all of us, by violence at any hour. Like the Roman legafm we go on oui 1 embassy unattended and without arms, offeD3 sive or defensive; and our mission leads as 3 among bitter and blood-thirsty enemies. Alr most every mail brings us anonymous letters, . written, so to speak, with the point of tie ast sassin's dagger, How soon any one of us may fall under tne deadly blow we know mt; we do not say we care not, for we value our lives ' as much as other men ; we have nevertheless i put them in the balance. We are anxious, , but not unwary. We have received our com1 mission, and with it the counsel, "Behold 1 send you forth as lambs among wolves; be ye . therefore wise as serpents and harmless as . doves." The commission and tie caution we receive with equal reverence, and regard them ' as equally binding." \ SMALL BEDCHAMBERS. There is reason to believe that more cases of dangerous and fatal diseases are gradually 3 engendered annually by tie habit of sleeping " continually in small, unventilated rooms, than r have occurrect Irom the enoiera atmospnere in any year since it made its first appearance in [ this country. Very many persons sleep in , eight by ten rooms: that is, in rooms the . length and breadth of which, multiplied again ' by ten for the Height of the chamber, would make eight hundred cubit feet, while the cu" bic feet for each bed, according to the Eng lish apportionment for hospitals, is twenty-one l hundred feot. But more in order "to give the ; air in the room the highest degree of fresh, ness," the French hospitals contract for a ' complete re*ewal of a room every hour, while 1 the Englisl assert that double the amount, or ' over four thousand feet an hour, is required. Four thousand feet of air an hour! and yet there are multitudes in New York who sleep i with closed doors and windows, in rooms which do not contain a thousand cubic feet of space, and taat thousand feet is to last all night, at 1 least eight hours, except such scanty supplies . as may be obtained of any fresh air that may insinuate itself through little crevices by door oj window, not an eighth of an inch in thiek; ness. But when it is known that in many cases a man and wife and infant sleep habitually in thousand feet rooms, it is to marvel that multitudes perish prematurely m cities; no wonder that infant children wilt away like flowers without water, and that five thousand of them are to die in the city of New York alone during the hundred days which include the 15th day of July of every year. Another fact is suggestive, that among the fifty thousand persons who sleep nightly in the lodging houses of London, expressly arranged on the imnroved nrineinles of space and ventilation already referred to, it has been proven that not one single case of fever has been engendered in two years! Let every intelligent reader improve the teachings of this article without an hours' delay. . ? Road Dust and Vegetation.?No careful observer will deny that the trees along much frequented roads, especially when exposed to the influence of prevailing winds, distinguish themselves in the rapidity of their growth and the luxuriance of their foliage as eing more thriving than those of the neighboring wood. This fact is being ascribed to the dust of the roads which is carried and deposited by the wind upon their branches and foliage. Dry road dust contains from eight to ten per cent, of organic matter, arising from the excrements of animals, from straw, hay or grains which may have fallen from wagons frequenting the road. After having been pulverized by carriage wheels to a fine dust, they form a large amount of already decomposed and readily soluble nourishment for vegetable growth.' Roads kept in good condition are therefore not only important promoters of the civilization of the district wherein they are located on account of easier trans portation, but also because of the immense production of an inexpensive but not less efficient fertilizer. It is in such, at the first, unapparent causes that an explanation of many ol the declared mysteries of vegetation may be found.

July 22 ' 2fi 5t* OUR NEW FAMILY SEWING MACHINE. f|^HE superior merits of the "Singer" Machines I over all others, for Family use or Manufacturing purposes, are so well established and so gen erally admitted, tnat an enumeranouui wen relative 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 Machine?using either SILK, TWIST, LINEN, OB COTTON T&READ, and sewing with equal facility the very finest and coarsest materials, and anything between the two extremes, in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its attachments for hemming, braiding, cording, tucking, quilting, felling, trimming, binding, <tc., are novel and practical, and have been invented and adjusted espe&ally for tbistnachine. -New designs of the unique, useful, and popular folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the machines manufactured by this Company, have been prepared for enclosing the new Machine. A feint idea, however, can at best be conveyed through the medium of a (necessarily) limited advertisement ; and we therefore urge every person in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to examine and test, if they can possibly do so, al] the leading rival machines before making a purchase. A selection can then be made understanding^. Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer" Machines will be found in nearly every city and town throughout the civilized world, where-machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any information promptly furnished. Or communications may be addressed to SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 485 Broadway, New York. M. JONES, in the "Adickes Building" is the agent for York County. January 28 4 tf PROSPECTUS OP THE WORKING CHRISTIAN, A WEEKLY RELIGIOUS HEW8PAPEB, TO BE EDITED BY REV. TILMAN R. GAINE8, * And published by Capt. L. M. Grist, at the Office of the Yorkvitle Enquire,r, Yorkville, S. C. HAVING secured a working capital of TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, and arranged with Capt. L. M. Grist, the successful proprietor of the Yorkvilte Enquirer, to publish for me, I expect to issue on the FIRST DAY OF JULY next, the first number of The Working Christian, a weekly Religious Newspaper, to be elegantly printed with new type, on good paper, and to contain twenty-four wide columns. This enterprise has originated in the conviction that such a paper is, at this time, specially needed among our churches, to stir up the "pure minds of Christians" and "provoke them to love and good works." It will contain valuable reading on matters of practical importance, and will be specially devoted to the interests of the Christian Religion. Its title?WORKING CHRISTIAN-partially defines the character of our paper, and 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 tb. hold and contend for; but as it was necessary for Paul to-attend chiefly to the mysteries at faith, 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 by saying to all, "faith without works is dead." We desire to send out our herald weekly, to sound the alarm in the ears of the churches: "Awake! Awake 1 put on thy strength, 0 Zionand to earnestly beseech every Christian in the land to "work while it is day." 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 religious world as to Missions, and sympathize with, every enterprise which has for its aim the progress of the Saviour's kingdom. It will watch the movements of the churches.?seek ont working churches and working men, and report their operations and successes. Its columns will contain, also, items of general intelligence. It will take no part in politics, further than to give the latest political news. Information on farming and gardening. on education and all the departments of useful industry, will be found in our pap$r. Special attention will be paid to the cause ol SabTbath Schools. Indeed, we hope to make our paper very interesting to the young. TERMS?INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. Single copy, one year, 9 2 50 Five copies, " " 11 25 Ten " " 20 00 J&S?'
