Halsey Dunning, pastor of the First Con stitutional Church in Baltimore, commenced his pas torate hero shortly after this interesting church was constituted. His ministry has not only resulted in many additions to the membership, but has endeared his people most tenderly and warmly to him, and his influence for good extends over the entire city. It will do Presbyterians from abroad good when spend ing a Sabbath in Baltimore to visit this church at the corner of Green and German street, and engage in Its stated services. Rev. Wm. T. Doubleday was installed over the church in Delhi, on Tuesday, September 4th. George N. Boardman, of Binghamton, preached - the sermon. Delhi furnishes an important field for ministerial labor, and Mr. Doubleday is the man for the post— whose worth will find a growing appreciation by a warm•beartod and generous people.— Binghamton Standard. Rev. Gee. R. Ferguson.—At a meeting of the Presbytery of North River, held in Poughkeepsie, September sth, George R. Ferguson was received as Licentiate from the Franklin Association, Massa chusetts, and was ordained to the work of the Gospel ministry. Rev. G. W. McMillan, of Yorktown, pre sided and proposed the Constitutional questions. Rev. Dr. Tyler, of Amherst College, preached the sermon from 2 Cor. v. 20—" Now then we are ambas sadors for Christ," &o, Rev, L. P. Ledoux, of Corn wall, offered the ordaining prayer, and the Rev. E, W. Stoddard gave tho charge. It is understood that Mr. Ferguson will labor for the present in the church of Northeast Centre. Rev. Eleroy Curtis, pastor of the Second Church at Fort Wayne, Indiana, has signified to his congre gation his intention to resign his pastoral charge and enter upon another field of labor. Rev. A. McDougall, for the last six years pastor of the Congregational Church in Sherburne, N. Y., licuraceepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church in Dryden, Tompkins county, New York. Letters and papers Should, hereafter, be addressed accord ingly. Rev. Livingston Willard, formerly of Sparta, Sussex county, New Jersey, was installed , pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Port Jervis, lc. Y., on Tues day, the 14th inst. A Card from Rev. Dr. Pennington.—Rev. Dr. Pennington, the well known colored clergyman, of New York, who has interested himself very much in the project of sending out free colored people as co lonists to Jamaica, from which island come such com plaints of the scarcity of labor, sends the following card to the papers of that city, his object being to procure the freedom of his brother, with a special view to send him to Jamaica, where the kind of la lior he is capable of is in particular demand. We have no doubt he might be made very useful to any, free colored colony, he might be connected with. His present mnst6r, wer usiderstsmd, gives-hien- tv-tnn• character, and consents to part with him for less than his market value: TO THE PUBLIC. A brother of mine, by father and mother, is now a slave in Louisiana. He is an engineer in a sugar works, and, therefore, a valuable mechanic. He wishes to be free and to go to Jamaica. He appeals to me to redeem him. I cannot deny his prayer, but to answer it I need help. Hie owner asks for him $1,700. Money collected for this object will, as fast as one hundred dollars is made up, be deposited in the Ma rine Savings Bank, and when the entire sum has been obtained, it will be drawn, subject to the order of the owner of my brother, to be paid when he de livers him to me or my agent, as a free man, New York, Rept. 1.860 Mr. Delos E. Wells, a Licentiate of Scioto Pres bytery, who has been laboring within the bounds of Pataskala Presbytery, for a few months past, was transferred by letter to its care. • Mr. Wells made application for ordination as an Evangelist at the late meeting. Presbytery granted Ws request, in view of the difficulty of securing the aid of an ordained minister to Administer the ordi nance in the congregation where Mr. Walls is labor ing.. He is 25 or 30 miles from the nearest minister of our order. Ohnroh Organized in Ohio.—A new church has been organized in Union City, Darke county, by Rev. Air= Gregg, exploring missionary of Dayton Pres bytery, and a unanimous invitation has been ;ex tended to Rev, John Martin, of Addison, to supply the pulpit. A convenient hall has been hired for the accom modation of the church till a house of worship can be erected. We understand that the prospects of the new organization are very flattering, and that much interest is felt in it by the people of Union city. The above, which is from the 'Dayton Journal, is gratifying evidence of the acceptance and efficiency of Mr.,Gregg's labors in his new field. OTHER BRANCHES OP THE PRESBY TERIAN CHURCH. The late Rev. Courtland Van Rensselaer has left to the Presbyterian Church in Burlington oily a legacy of six thousand dollars, of which he 'dirfflied three thousand to be expended in the purchase of a parsonage, two thousand for the support of the school attached to the church, and one thousand dollars to wards discharging the debt on the latter building. This has always been a feeble church, pecuniarily; and the deceased, during his life ' , was a steady and generous contributor to its wants. This contribu tion he has thus continued and made permanent at his death. Rev. Dr. S. B. NoPheetere, of St. Louis, has been appointed chaplain of the United States Army, at Fort Union, New Mexico, and has taken leave of his church for one year, with the hope that a residence there will restore his health so that be may resume his labors ,as pastor. Trinity Presbyterian Church, 0. B.—The cor ner stage of this church edifice, on Frankford Road,. was laid by the pastor, Rev. W. R.l.Vork,vn the 17th of September. From the statement read at the eere u3ony, we extract the followingi It will boa neat Gothic structure, adapted to the purposes of a Protestant Presbyterian tThuich. The main ,building will be 76 feet long by 42 feet pride, ttnd ' dhsigned to afford ample and cautfoitable accommodation for hiihdred add fifty sitters. The lecture tiodro, which' is to • be connected with the main building bYan organ and ,ve - stry room, will he 4.5 , feet ! by 3b feet wide i , and -is ; expected, to actxtill mod te 200 children, in Sabbath 8040,01, The material of which it is - to be censtrueted is Lei perville Amy stone, of the appearance and quality of which you can judge by glancing around at that part the work, which is already accomplished. In relation to the cost, I may say that the contract flit covering in the main building and finishing the, J. W: PENNmemotr. lecture room, is $8.260, affording we believe, as cheap a specimen of church - comurnation as can any where be found in the bound& of our Up'to the present time thU sum' Of s4soCrhas been subscribed. Copies of various Presbyterian papers, including the American Presbyterian, were placed in the corner stone. Rev. Dr. Neill's Will.—The will of the late Rev. William Neill, of Philadelphia, contains a bequest of two thousand dollars to the Trustees of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, to aid indigent students who may be preparing for the gospel ministry. Fields Open in the Sonth-West.—Through the entire length and breadth of 'Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, it would be next to impossible for any minister, such. as we need, to set himself down in any place, either village or country, and not find an open ing of sufficient promise to gather at once a congre-: gation and material enough out of which to organize a church. One of our ministers in Louisiana, once preached in a country place, and, at the close, a number of wealthy planters who till then neither know Mir cared about our church, came together and offered him fif teen hundred dollars for half his time. Another sited a small village, and after preaching a few times was offered five hundred dollars a year to preach twice a month on a week night. We have , reason to believe , that earnestness, talent and devotion consecrated to our Great Master's cause can, in no part of our whole country, find either so welcome appreciation, or such certainty of success, as in these South Western States:—Ti•eabyterian of our Union. Sermon Resented.—At the Presbyterian church of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, a sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. J. W. E. Kerr, on . Sunday eve ning, August sth, in which .he took occasion to im press on young ladies the duty of discountenancing the vicious practices of immoral young men by de clining their company. On Monday evening Mr. Kerr was grossly in sulted at his residence by a party of young men in disguise. The congregation promptly resented the outrage by calling a meeting on the folloWing Monday eve ning, at vrliich resolutions were paised endorsing the plain and faithful preaching of their pastor, and strongly denouncing the Monday night .proceedings of the young , tnen as an injury to the cause of Christ and an insult to the congregation. Installation.—At the Presbyterian Church in Malta, Saratoga county, op Monday,, Rev. Alexan der Thorburn, grandson of Grant Thorburn, was or dained and installed as pastor. Resolutions of the New Hampshire General Association on the Proposed Conference.— 1. Resolved, That this Association highly appreciates the great work to which the Supreme Head of the Church calls the Presbyterian and the Congregational churches in the Home Missionary field; that we give thanks for the hearty co-operation of these churches in past years in extending the kingdom of Christ in the land, and that we bless God fore the results achieved in the establishment of the common faith and the Gospel ordinances, where they were- not be fore enjoyed. This fellowship and fruit of labois shall not be lost. 2. Resolved, that the as calls of God and the deve lopment of the greatest . Christian energipa of the Presbyterian Church, are thought to require its re linquishment of effort co-operative with, us in the Home Missionary Society, we will cheerfully acqui esce; 'and bid 'our brethren God-speed in the great 'and pod, though separate work into which they are led. METHODIST. Limits of the 'Pastoral Tenii.—The 'Nashville Advocate' says =`, - :r^ - 14'14 a Canso of-our pastoral inefficiency is•to be found in-lha shortness of the pastoral term, we should advocate a lengthening ofpthe. : term. < No amount of traditional prejOice would deter us from such advocacy. Once.the preach ers chadied 'every sir months. AfterVitirds, they might stay a whole year in a single charge. Two fears is the outside limit of the pastoral term among us now. • There is -no scriptural law on the subject, and-if circuit stances have so changed that three years would suit 'better than two, we should feel bound to favar an extension to three years. The promotion of the gospel, the edification of the Church, ,the end sought. We dare not hold any, means above such an •end.- The British Wesleyans, whose praise.is in all the * world for, diligent, close watching, soul-serving pastors, have three years. The French go farther, and'yet preserve the itinerant system, though not so efficiently. They have five years as the liniit. No Foreign Missions.—The Methodist Protes tant Church, though now more than thirty years - of age, has no foreign mission. Rev. - Dr. Collier' is writing in the Western Methodist Protestant, to in duce the church to repair this neglect. , Do Camp Meetings Pay?—The Martha's Tine-. yard correspondent of an M. E. Exchange, puts the expenses of this year's camp on that Island at $3.000, and adds: The members of my own church at Edgartown pay a larger aum every year for the enjoyment of this single meeting than for all their other church ex penses. We have over fifty tents from this charge alone, and the expenses cannot be. less than twenty 'dollars each. They are probably more. We may well ask, doei it pay? But it is not so easy , to answer: A Symbol in a Burning Pine Knot—The edi tor of the 'Boston Recorder' thus speaks of the me thod of illumination employed in the night services of the Methodist camp grounds: We bad read-of the,splendid effect often produced at these meetings by lamps hung in the trees, to give light by night, and thonght bow tame and how la •bored must be such an attempt at illumination com pared with the glare and glory of this more primitive method. • Then, as the golden candlestick of the ancient tem ple , syntholized the light of the' ancient ministry of the Church, so might the peculiar splendour of these lights blend its rays most fitly with the light issuing from :the preacher's stand Give - me the flame and glare from a burning and shining light in a Metho dist pulpit, answered to by the flame and glare from burning and Shining, pine knots, in preference to the More beautiful and polished harmony of wax candles on: Puseyite altars, fitly symbolizing the light well nigh extinct in the adjacent pulpit. Cincinnati Conference.—The collections for be nevolent operations show an increase of one thousand dollars on last year's report. The sum total is. over $12.000. Rev. S. M. Eddy, editor of tho ( (Northwestern Christian Advocate," writes to Mr. Buchanan to know if in view of the persecution of Methodist mi nisters in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas, religions freedom is to be maintained in this country as gua rantied by the Constitution? He further asks: "Does membership in the Methodist Episcopal church expose to death at the hands of an unlicensed mob/ Are we to be hunted like wild beasts?'ls our blood to be shed like water , to appease the insatiable Moloch of slavery ?" The,Life of Jacob Gruber, and works in s simi lar fantastic style, are receiving some severe but just criticism in the columns of Methodist journals. The ' Western Advocate,' quoted approvingly in the Me thodist,',says Such publications are corrupting the fountain of ourbistory,jorwe hardly know what to receive as veritable fact, They aye„also creating an d feeding a - vitiated:Aosta Arnongt TievleLl .the .moskse rieWN Objection to thieqtaattlif,tooks is that they tend alittiir4it -:.grtlitttriitit:iiti:„:o...i,tlyt:ott.-;_it'ritn.ft,ttoit-- to bring early Methodism into contempt. Too many of these anecdotes are a disgrace to the parties and a slur upon religion. They represent the early Metho dists as a set of not merely illiterate persons, but of downright ignoramuses. The blunt simplicity of the early preachers is converted into boorish buffoonery. The members are ignorant, and the preachers clowns. Camp meetings are theatres for rowdies, and the dis play of clerical wit and prowess. Vagaries of Church Law.—The question whe ther a probationer in the M. E. Church can bring charges against a member in full standing was started some few years ago in an Ohio church, and decided in the affirmative by the preacher in charge. An ap peal was made which carried the question through five judicial stages, in, each of which, the decision of the preceding authority was reversed, the General Conference deciding it in the negative at last. EPISCOPAL. A`bold move is expected for the removal of Bi shop Whitehouse, of Illinois, at the next diocesan convention. This is on account of non-residence and other reasons—so says the Illinois correspondent of the New York Churchman. Since writing, the above we have met with the fol lowing notice of the Convention: A desp"ateh to a Chicago paper states that on last Friday the Episcopal Convention at Quincy, Illinois, broke up in a row on a test vete relating to a ques tion referring the action of the Bishop in the cathe dral lot matter to a lay committee. The Bisl4 in troduced a deacon just ordained, and his vote decided the question,,lt standing,pineteeri to: eighteen. The Rev. Mr. Hodges, of Chicago, rose and denounced the whole as a dishonest transaction, and, more than half the convenlion left the house. The convention soon after adjourned. Xinnesota .—^^_NDIAN MISSION'S.--Bishop Whipple is performing a truly apostolic service among the red men of his diocese, whom he computes as eighteen thousand in number—Sioux and Chippewas. During the summer he has been making a boat and foot journey among them, and has met with some encou ragement.. One old chieftain was so well pleased, that he promised to plant two trees to mark the scene of the services. The Bishop, in speaking of those portages which they had to cross in the route, says— " The longest was four miles, and no easy task with seventy-five to eighty pounds on our shoul ders." "Our diet," he continued, "was pork and bread stirred up with water and fisb." Abner Xneeland.'s quondam Colonists.—One of these per Sons, still residing at Des ,Moines Valley— the original seat of the infidel colony, was lately bap tized:and confirmed by the Bishop of lowa. The wi dow of Mr: Kneeland still lives near Farmington,— and while the original organization is completely broken up, the families settled along the valley still generally retain their infidel character. "A portion of Father Chiniqrty's colony have applied to Bishop Whitehouse for .Episcopal supervi sion,—about one hundred of them having given in their adhesion to the Church. One young man is also desirous of-being educated for the Ministry. About five hundred. Prayer Books have been dona ted, and the Church in Canada has volunteered as sistance for the erection of Church buildings."— aura:nem. Dr. Huntington was admitted to the Holy Order of Deacons on Wednesday, the 12th instant, in Tri nity Church, Boston. The 'sermon was preached by Bishop Burgess. The candidate was presented by the Rev. Dr. Stone, of BrOoklyn. The Bishop of Victoria, from Hong lKong, china, was present in the chancel. GENERAL Rev. EForgerigdirDithe EvlcrigetteaVencietto France, is in this country with the view of stirring up the interest of Atherican Christians in this most important and useful institution. This Society, as the freest and boldest in its movements, has to bear the special distrust anct opposition of the Romanists of France. Its cheirches, formerly closed, have been opened by imperial sanction, but its schools remain closed as they were in 1852. To make amends for this deficieney they now send teachers from house to house. The Protestants are obliged to pay for the support of the Romish , schools, but not one of them has ever been induced to use them for his children. Mr. Fisch says: The local authorities hoped recently to crush even this hard 'work of tesching from .family to family. They maintained that it was school-keeping in the eye of the law; and the "Court of First - Instance," and the Court of Appeal at Limoges decided against us, but the "Court of Cassntion," in Paris, after the admirable pleading of Count De Laborde, one of our members, reversed that twofold decision. This unex pected victory was hailed with shouts of joy our afflictedlstatiens. Paris is open to Evangelical effort,-,especially is the influence of the popery ineonsiderablein the new arrondissements formed by-the recent extension of the capitol to the fortifications. The Society, from a falling off in foreign aid, suffers under an increasing debt, and has been obliged to curtail its work. Mr. Fisch' .comes . highly Commended . by prominent pas tors and others in New York. . Independent American Oatholics.—The Rich mond, Ya. Whig, of the 7111 inst., says: -There has recently been organized in this city, a religioutuso ciety, or congregation, styled as the above, the object of which is to disiever all connection with the Pope of Rotne and his Bishops, and, in fact, to repudiate and protest against the Roman Hierarchy in every form.. It is composed chiefly of French and German citizens, many of whom are well known and 'highly respected in the community. The .ceremonies, learn,- closely resemble those of the First Roman Church, and are equally interesting and impressive. This is thefirst move to establish an. Independent American Catholic Church in America. The Rev. John Tirion is the officiating Priest. There is also an executive committee for carrying out'We' objects of the Society, at the head of which is Mr. Francis Delerne, of. this city. Fffortsrare on foot, ,however, to purchase a suitable location tO build a Church, which is to be called the " Independent American Catholic Church." Elder John Winebrenner, founder of the sect of Whiebrennarians, died in Lancaster, Pa., on the 12th of September. The Rev. E. Ile Schweinitz, pastor of the Mo: ravian church, in this city, has been appointed to the charge of the church at Litiz, Lancaster county. The Rev. A. Reinke, of Staten Island, is to succeed the retiring pastor. Liberality of Americans to European Chris tians.-:--The World thus sums up an article on this subject: Within twenty-five years all of $200;000, if not $250,000, have been furnished by our churches, in addition to the grants of our societies, to help on the work . of God in Europe. It has been money well laid out. Who is the poorer for it? Every dollar well laid out in spreading the gospel in Europe, is 'a contribution to the promotion, ultimately, of our own best, interests. Eoes not GermanY send us every year tens of thousands of her strong-bodied, blue eyed race? And what is Ireland tows, if not an " outlying," but "unclaimed " Province? To speak Hibernia, we may as well do a part of our home mis eionary work there as here. Quakertown, instead of being destitute of churches, has now the' prospect of several; 'and in• addition to one which is exclusively Lutheran, a number of Lu therans from a German church in the vicinity, united with'ihe Reformed in the erection of a Union church, the cornerstone of ,which was laid bn the 18th of Airgiukt. • FOREIGN. Presbyterianism in England..—The Glasgow Guardian says: " The handsome church lately built in Exeter for. Rev. J. Gladstone, whose evangelical - principles led to a rupture between him and,the Traotarian Bishop, is likely to come into the hands of the Presbytery of London. We are informed that neintiations have been opened for this end, and that several of the mi nisters of the Presbytery have lately officiated there, who are to be succeeded by others, till the congrega tion, which•is neither small , nor uninfluential, shall have an opportunity of choosing a pastor in connec tion with the Presbyterian Church. The edifice has been constructed for Church of England worship, and has both altar and organ, but these are to be removed. Its architecture is very elegant,• and the position which it holds is commanding. Presbyterianism has not made so noble an acquisition in England for se veral years, though its progress is shill onward and upward." An Iron. Churoh.—The Bishop of London recently preached a sermon on the occasion of the opening of an iron church, in Clipstone street,,for the religious improvement of a degraded mid ,neglient population thickly inhabiting that neighborhoad. It will ac commodate two hundred and fifty p4sons. Its cost has been almost entirely defrayed byithe residents in Trinity district, Marylebone, the peril& in which the church is erected. The report in niecal paper says that it " is really very neat and devOtional-looking." Church Journal. Revivals-in Canada-=A corrOlopdent of the Colonial Pieebyterian writinifrhtiqcw Carlyle, C. 8., gives the particulars of a werlittiracelreeently experienced in that community; ii?;Which cases of prostration similar to those in Irelard, took vlace. The correspondent, under date of Alig. 20th, says As far as outward conduct is con reed, those who have been prostrated are completel . t new. creatures. Many indeed appner to be ,changed;,and have no doubt are truly changed,'ho hare physi cally affected- The thirst for the means of grac4,and the delight taken in the exercises of worship, e manifestly in tense. The packed state of the ch rch.on the Stab bath, and of every place of meeting luring the week, is ample proof of this. At a meeting on Monday evening last, many persons were prnent from a dis tance of eight, and some from a distaice of ten miles, going and returning the same , even pg. The young persons, especially, cannot. be prevtiled upon to Ire main at home, if the meeting can y any possibility be reached. At Prince William, a ,there is a very interesting state of things.

Syria a Battle-field.--The port in of Syria which has been the scene of the terrible tragedies which have rousedlithe indignation of 6/ Christian world, is inhabited'by a number of tribes, differing " greatly in manners, custom, and creed.

Constantimple.—To prevent the recurrence of tumultuous opposition to the regnlar interment of Protestants in Constantinople, the government has presented the Protestant native corumunity with five cemeteries in the various suburbspf the city, free of all expense, and has sent an official. reprimand, to the authorities at the Armenian .Patifialchate for the con duct of their people on this occasion. It is a singular circumstance th ;in the very midst l a of these commotions an , Arnieia Tartabed, or . preacher, bap joined the Protestlut professing to be actuated entirely by his religiousPonvictioria,'Which have long been gathering force. 'He is upwards of fifty years of age, and seems at least quite respecta ble: whether he be truly a subject at divine grace time must show. Last Sabbath he was formally ex communicated in all the Armenian Churches of the city. Ahmednuggur, India.--Amolig the pleasing signs of progress in this interesting station of the American Board is the Ordination of another native pastor. The:Bombay Guardian of July 7th, gives the following account of the ceremony: " Mr. Vishnoopunt Kurmurkur has been ordained pastor over the Second Church in Ahmednuggur. He has been preaching in this church ever since its former pastor, Rev. R. V. Moduk, was called to Bom bay, and is very acceptable to all the members. Ho was examined on Tuesday, the 26th of June, and preached a sermon on the subject of justification by faith (Rom. v. 1.) before a crowded audience. The brethren expressed themselves aa;very well satisfied with his examination and with his preaching, and it .was determined to,ordain hire , 4 : next .44ay: Ac cordingly, on Wednesday, at three'P.

The women are much more numerous than the men, and we were all struck with the num ber of children to be seen compared with many other islands. There was a fearful destrimtion of children in the days of beathenisin. France.—lt is.well known, at least to all Ameri cans who have visited Paris, that the treasury of No tre Dame is one of the shows of that city. In it'are deposited the gorgeous'vestments of the clergy, pre sented by various sovereigns on State occasions, great variety of ecclesiastical ornaments--croziers, taper-holders, crosses in massive gold, adorned with precious stones of great „These treasures are kept in , a building situated betweintliP cathedral and the river.

Thevietified the officers of the church, and the latter instantly discovered "that the treasury had been entered by . burglars, and that all the golden sacred furniture it' contained estimated at $160,000 in value, had been 'Carried off. The Rev. F. D. Itataiee's recent appointment to the incumbency of St. Peter's 'bhurch, in London, raised'a great outcry among the conservative portion of the En.4ish clergy. A number even went so far as: to addreas a memorial to the bishop of London, praying that he would refuse to institute Mr. Maurice, an appeal to which his lordship, refused to comply. Mr. Maurice's friends—and those .by no means con fined to .his own party, the broad church party—are now engaged in getting up an address-of sympathy ,to him. The names of. many of the mosts distin 'guished members of the Chtirch of England have al ready.-been attached to the address, which, beside expressing gratification at Mr. Mauriee's appoint ment,Tays a tribute to his labors on behalf ot the working elitsies. The literary men of England arts largely represented on the address. Among this class Mr. Maurice numbers his most powerful allies.

THE CITY The Water Gas.—The successful exhibition of the water gas at the Girard House, during the past three months, appears to have had the effect of set tling some of the questions recently discussed at so much length—a well-known engineer of this dity, Mr. Wiegand, now offering to furnish estimates of the cost:of works, and to accompany them with satin= factory guarantees of the cost of Manufacture, and of the reliability of the gas produced. In further evi dence of this, we learn that arrangements are now on foot for the erection of numerous works for the manufacture of gas, according to the process of Dr. Sanders in New England, New York, New Jersey, and several of the Western States.

The poor woman's riches ; The rich woman's bliss .In the war which is going on among the sewing ma chines, there is something comforting in the fact, that nobody is killed, and the community in general derive a permanent benefit. As in the political world, where .a great variety of opinion prevails, and each party has its favorite leader, so among the sewing machines, we find a great variety of opinion, and each one lout). in their praises of the one, they think the best. Unlike po litical opinions, however ) , we regard all the sewing ma chines as a blessing. From the greatest to the least from 'the splendid cabinet.machine of Grover & Baker down to the smallest machine invented, we find a labor, saving benefit to all the families in the land. In so say ing, however, we .must-not be considered as redorn mending a cheap article, as to oiir sorrow, we have in variably found that a cheap article is in the end the dear est. We speak from experience when we . say that, after havingtried all the principal sewing machines, we must accord .to that of Grover & Baker the pre-eminence. Those inillitienhableTeatUres of setVing, strength, unifor mity, and elasticity, all of which are brougut out in this incomparable invention, make it the "first sewing ma chine'in the country. Others have . their good points, but this combines all, and posses-es every characteristic necessary to make it most desirable. We know one - lady whose appreciation of this - machine, after a trial of years is. such, _that she would part with almost every other. article of household - furniture before she would alibi:a-it to be taken. She understands the different va rieties off sewing machines, and has tested the merits of all; but Grover & Baker's noiseless machine, with its firm uniform. stitch, surpasses, in her estimation, all others. In that lady's opinion we have the most un limited confidence, her taste and judgment being celled by none. Nor has her judgment been formed hastily. She has, with a view of thoroughly testing the merits of the different sewing machines, given the most of them a trial, and the result is as above stated. The Grover & Baker. Company, from being one of the oldest and most successful of the originators and direc tors of the Misiness, and having associated with it men of the greatest artistic skill, possesses facilities above that of others in making such improvements as are cal culated to bring the sewing machine to perfection. In their magnificent establishment on Broadway, they belie in the finest taste fitted up a large drawing-room where a great number of ladies may be found every day, either - learning or perfecting themselves in the art of sewing; and we would say to our lady friend:3 who have hitherto remained skeptical in regard to this great invention of !the age, an hour could not be more profitably spent than at this establishnient:—New York Christian Advocate and Journal. - • ADVERTISEMENTS.

They are as pleasant as a truly effective medicine can be. it is true you may take purgatives which will ope rate without pain, because they take the balsamic parts from the blood, which is worse than being bled, worse than baying the vital fluid abstracted. Beware of them. Brandreth'S Pills only take bold of those matters which the body, when sick, wants to evacuate. They are solely an assistant of nature,—nothing more, nothing less. They do not force; they merely assist ; and herein is their great value.
