Tilings Worth Remembering.
He that lives without prayer or prays
without life has not tho spirit of God.
We must all appear before the judgment-seat
of Christ.
Remember that you aro at the door of
eternity, and have other work to do than
to trifle away time.
Turn to God and he will turn to you;
then you will be happy, though all the
world turn against you.
He that lovcth not, knowcth not God,
for God is love.
If we forget God when we are young,
he may forget us when we are old. If
we expect to live with Chri3t iu heaven,
we must live with him on earth. Christ
satisfied the law of God to the uttermost,
and therefore can save those who believe
iu him to the uttermost.
Benefit your friends, that they may
love you more dearly still.
' Benefit your enemies, that they may at
last become your friends.
Hope is the sweetest friend that ever
kept a distressed soul company; it be
guiles the tediousness of the way all
the miseries of our pilgrimage.
Christians arc not so much required to
live out of the world, as to live ulovc it.
A hard duty, indeed! yet there is a vic
tory which overcometh the world.
Many flowers open to the sun, but only
one follows him constantly. Heart, be
thou the sunflower, not only open to God's
blessings, but constant iu looking to him.
He that is good may hope to become
better; he that is bad may fear that he
may become worse; for vice, virtue and
time never stand still.
In matters of conscience, first thoughts
arc best; in matters of prudence, last
thoughts arc best.
Religion is much talked of, but little
understood, till a man's conscience is
awakened; then a man knows the worth
of a. soul and the want of a Saviour.
Religion must be our busiucss, then it
will be our delight.
Four things a Christian should spe
cially watch after; to be humble and
thankful, watchful and cheerful.
If we would not fall into things unlaw
ful, we must sometimes deny ourselves
those that are lawful.
If you follow Satan, you will find the
tempter prove a tormcutor; if you follow
the Spirit, you will find the Counsellor
prove a Comlortcr.
TLcy that spend their days in faith and
prayer, shall end their days in peace and
comfort.
Pleasure of Contentment
I have a rich neighbor, that is always
so busy that he has no leisure to laugh;
the whole business of his life is to get
money, and more money, that he may
still get more aud more money.
lie is still drudging on, saying that
Solomon says, " The diligent hand mak
eth rich." And it is true, indeed, but he
considers not that it is not in the power
of riches to make a man happy, for it
was wisely said by a man of great obser
vation, " That there may be as many mis
erics beyond riches as on this side , of
them." And yet God deliver U3 from
pinching poverty; and grant that, having
a competency, we may be conteut and
thankful. Let us not repine, or eo much
as think the gifts of God unequally dealt,
if we see another abound with riches;
when, as God knows, the cares that are
the keys that keep those riches, hang of
ten so heavily at the rich man's girdle,
that they, clog him with weary days and
restless nights, even when others sleep,
quietly. We see but the outside of the
rich mau's happiucss; few consider him
to be like the silkworm, that, when she
seems to play, is at the very same time
spinning her own bowels, and consuming
herself. And this many rich men do
loading themselves with corroding cares
to keep what they have already got. Let
us, therefore, be thankful for health and
competence, and above all, for a quiet
conscience. Isaac Walton.
Wonderful Mechanical Genius.
A youth, aged eighteen, belonging to
a respectable family of Paris, had, about
a year ago, been condemned for theft to
five years' imprisonment. His conduct in
prison being quite exemplary, he gained
the good opinion of the director, who
soon remarked in him a peculiar aptness
for mechanical contrivances. A few
days ago he begged to tell him what
o'clock it was that he might set his watch.
" You have a watch, then? " asked the
director. " Only since yesterday, eir."
said tho prisoner, and to the astonishment
of the director produced one made of
6traw! The little time piece is two aud
a half inches in diameter, about half au
inch think, and will go three hours with
out winding up. The dial plate is of
paper, aud a pretty straw chain attached
to the whole.- The instruments the youth
ad at his command were two needles, a
piu, a little straw and thread. Several
persons of distinction, moved by his sur
prising genius in mechanics, are cudeav

A Curious Case of Suspended Animation.
A week or two ago the wife of a very

the decline iu the price of wool the num
ber of sheep has materially decreased
within the year in nearly all the States,
particularly in the West, where they have
been extensively slaughtered, under tho
impression that the wool market has been
and will continue to be overstocked, and;
prices continue correspondingly low.
The Pennsylvania Election Frauds;
The following remarks of the New York
Daily Times, in reference to the revela
tions made in the Centre county contested
election case, seem to us to hit the nail
right on the head :
"The wholesale frauds. .of the Pennsyl
vania Democratic State Committee in the
Sharswood election having now been
proved, the question is what will be done
with the guilty? Wo are told that 44 the:
case has concluded " with the ousting of
a Democratic Senator, and the swearing,
in of a Republican. It fctrikes us that
the case should not conclude, but aouij
mence, at that point. When, in addition
to the atrocious frauds themselves the
unblushing bribery, the importation cE
voters, the wholesale forgery and perjury,,
the abuse of court rules and notarial sig
natures we find that one wituess to the
frauds was murdered in cold blood, a
second kidnapped and cocfiued, and a
third rescued from the very hands ofthe
law officers, surely something more than,
a political chauge ot one vote iu the , Sen
ate should result. Unless the severest
penalties of the law are inSiclcd, the same
thing will be done again, with increased
skill in avoiding dctecliou."

Roast Cat
Mr. Charles. Kiunear, of Youngsvillev
Warren county, had a somewhat , uovet
roast one day last week for dinner. It
seems that a favorito cat had crept into
the oven to steal some baked meat that
had been deposited there, and the hired
"irl cotniug iuto the kitchcu shut tho.
oveu door aud kindled a fire preparatory
to cooking a diuner, and then stepped
i out again. The consequence was, that
Ipoor pussy, as a penalty for her theft,.
came out of the oveu, baked meat, her
self. Mr. Kiuncar's family rfusd to
