Only a short time mictlvikoidled attention to the

this work. Its reproduc
tion so speedily in this "Mpuntry is a strong, proof
'of the high reputein which it is hell. The'biesis
of the,Preeent edition is that of Edinburgh; but
the Amerlcan editor, Dr. Homberger, says that
he hasßrreated many places where the transla
tor °ballet edition did not permit the author` to
express his own meaning. This required the
re-construction of portions of the work, and also
a !lie* translation of some fifty pages, including
a wholehe section concerning. John Huss, entirely
omitted in the Edinburgh-translation. Dr. Kurtz
is a Lutheran, and his denominational views
crop out occasionally; but on the whole, his

From the Congregationalist
Tom's T`rjal.,.
MN
It was 4 pleasant.day in that particularly
pleasant part of the Summer-time :which
the boys call "vacation," when Tiger and
Toni walked slowly.down the street togeth
er You may think it strange that I men
tion Tiger first, .but I assure you that. Tom
would pot have been the least offended by
the preference. Indeed, he would have
assured, you4hat Tiger waka most 'wonderful
dog, and knew as much as any two boys,
though this, might be called rather extrav
agant.
Nearly . a year ago, op Tom's birthday,
Tiger arrived as a present from. Tom's un-.
ole, and as he leaped with a dignified bound
from the wagon in which he made his jour
ney, •Tcan lookeil for ~:a moment into his
great, wise eyes, and impulsively threw his
arms around his shaggy. neck. Tiger, on
his part, -was pleased with Tom's bright
face, and most affectionately licked his
smoeth cheeks. So the league of friend
ship.w,as complete frem that hour.
Tom soon gave his schoolfellows to un
derstand thet t) Tiger
, :ntlp a do' of superior ,
talents, and told them that he meant to
givii,'himva education. So when-
Tom -*gilled , Ms lemons, Tiger too, was
furnished with a book, and sitting by Tom's
side, he would pore.ov,er the pages with an
air of great profundity, occasionally grave
ly turning ;deaf with his paw. Then Ti
ger was taught to go to the'Post Office, and
bring home the daily paper. He could
also carry a basket to the `bakers' for crack
ers and cake, and putting his money on
the .counter with his mouth, he would
wait patiently till the basket was filled,
all then trot. faithfully home. Added to
al tliese .graCes of mind, Tiger had shown
Himself posseseed of 'a large heart; for he
plunged-Anto,the lake one raw Spring morn :
*And savedlalittle Child -from drowning.
So the next Saturday, - Tom called 'a full
meeting of his school-mates, and after nu
merous grand ,speeches to the' effect that
Tiger was a hero, as well as a "gentleman
and a scholar,", an en,ornmus brass medal
was fastened around his neck, and he was
made acknowledge the - libnor 'by stand

a) &Major White had offered Tom ten
d_ellars for. Tiger, but 'Tom quiekly
" would'nt take-a. hiindred,"
But I am telling you too much about Ti
ger, and must say a few words about his
master, Who is' really the -subject ,of my .
story.
As I have already told you, Tom had a
pleasant, round face, and you might live
with him a week, and think him one of
the noblest, most generous boys you ever
knew. But some day you would probably
discover he had , a most violent temper.
You would be frightened -to see his face
crimson with rage, as he stamped his
feet, shook his little sister, spoke improp
erly to his mother, and above all, sorely
displeased his great Father in heaven.
To be , sure, Tom was soon over his pas
sion, and' was very repentant, but then he
did not remember to be watchful, and
struggle against this enemy, and , the next
day he was attacked, he was very easily
overcome, and had many sorrowful hours
in consequence.. Now I am going to tell
you of one great trial on this account,
which Tom never forgot to the end of his
life.
As I was saying a little while ago, Tiger'
and Tom were walking down the street to
gether, when they met Dick Casey, a school
fellow of Tom's.
"Oh, Dick!" cried Tom, "I am going to
father's grain store .a little while. Let's
go up in the loft and play."
Dick had just finished his work in his
mother's garden, and was ready for a little
amusement. So the two went up together,
and enjoyed themselves highly for a long
time. But at last arose one of those tri
fling disputes, in, which , little boys are so apt
to indulge.
Pretty soon there were angry words,
then, (Oh, how sorry I am to say it!) Tom's*
wicked passions
,got the mastery of him,
and he beat little Pick severely.
Tiger, who must have been ashamed of
hie master, pulled hard at"his coat, 'and
whined piteously, bueall in vain. At last
Toni stopped, from mere exhaustion.
" There now !" he cried, 44 WhiCll7B
you or r?",
" I am," sobbed Dick, - "and you tell a
Mi
Tom's face flushed crimson, and darting
upon Dick, gave him a sudden push.
Alas '!:'lie : lie was , too near the open door.
Dick screamed, and threw up his arms, and
in a moment was gone ! Tom's heart stood
still, and an icy chill crept over him from
head to foot. At first he could not stir ;
.then—he never knew how he got there, but
he found himself standing beside his little
friend. Some men were raising him care
fully from the hard side-walk.
" Is he dead ?", almost screamed Tom.
" No," replied one, "we hope not. How
did he fall out'?" •
" He did'fit groaned Tom, who
never could be so mean as to tell a lie, "I
pushed him out
"You pushed him, you wicked boy,"
cried a rough voice.
" Do you know you ought to be sent to
jail, and if he dies, May be you will be
hung."
Tom .grew.'as white as Dick, whom he
had followed into the store, and heard all
that passed as if in a dream.
"Is he badly hurt ?" cried some one.
Only his hands," was the answer.
The rope saved him. He caught hold
of the rope and slipped down; . but his
hands are dreadfully torn—he has fainted
from pain."
Just then Tom's father came in, and soon
understood the 'case. The look he gave his
unhappy son, so full of sorrow, not unmin
gled with pity, was too much for Tom, and
he stole out, followed' by the faithful
- He wandered • to the woods, and
threw himself upon the ground. One hour
ago he was a. happy boy, and now what a
terrible change ! What: had made the dif
ference ? Nothing, but the indulgence of
this wicked, violent temper. His mother
had often warned him of the fearful conse
quences.
She had often told him, that little boys
who would not learn to govern themselves,
grew up to be very wicked men, and often
became murderers in some moment of
passion. And now Tom shuddered to
think he was almost a murderer! Noth
ing but God's great mercy in putting that
rope im Dick's way had, saved him from•
carrying that load of sorrow and guilt all
the rest of his life.
But poor Dick, he might die yet—how
pale he looked—how strange ! Tom fell
upon his knees, prayed to God to "spare
Dick's life, and from that time forth, with
God's help, he promised that he would
strive to conquer his wicked passions." ,
Then, as he could no longer bear his ter
xible suspense, he started for widow Casey's
cottage. As he appeared at- the humble
door, Mrs. Casey angrily ordered him away,
saying : -
" You have made a poor woman trouble
enough for one day." -
But Dick's feeble voice entreated. "Oh,
mother, let him come in, I was just as bad
las he." -
Torn gave a cry of joy at hearing those
welcome tones, and- sprang,. hnstily
There sat poor Dick With his hands bound
up, looking very pale, but Tom thanked
God that he was dive. ,
" I should like to know how I am to live
now," sighed ,Mrs. Casey. " Who will
weed the garden and carry my vegetables
to market ? lam afraid we shall suffer for
bread before the Summer is over," and she
put her apron up to her eyes.
" Mrs. Casey," cried Tom eagerly, "I
will 46 - " everything that Dick did. I will
sell The potatoes and beans, and' will even
; drive Mr. Brown's cows to pasture."
,Mrs. Casey shook her head incredulously,
but Tom bravely kept: his word. .For the
n4xt tew weeks Tom was at his post bright
add early, and th e e garden was never kept
in* better order. And every morning Ti
ger and Toni stood faithfully in the market
plkce with'their baskets, and never gave
up, no matter how warm the day, till the
last vegetable wa.s sold, and the money
pliced faithfully in. Mrs. Casey's.ha.nd.
Tom's father often passed through the
rd'arket;-and 'gave his little sew an elm-Lira
oino• smile, ,but he did not.offet to help him
out of his : difficulty; for he knew Tom
stry. ga top_ . alone, it . would be a lesson he,
would never - forget.
Already he was‘becoming so gentles and
patient,,thileevery'one noticedthe Change,
and his mother rejoiced over the sweet
fruits of his repentance and sell sacrifice.
After a few weeks the bandages, were re
moved from Dick's hands, but they had
been unskillfully treated, and were,. drawn
up in very • strange shapes. Mrs. Casey
could not conceal her grief.
'f He will never be the help he was be
fore," she said to Tom; "he will never be
like the other boys, he wrote such a fine
hand, now he can no more make a letter
than that little Thicken,in the garden:"
" If he only had a great city doctor,"
said a neighbor, "he might- have teen all
right. Even now his fine•ers might be
helped if yow took shim to New-York:"
" Oh, I am too •poor, too poor," said .sbe,
and Dick burst into.tears.
Torn could not bear it, and again rushed
into'the woods to think what could be done,
for he hadulready given them all his (plat.-
tees - iallowance. All at Once a `thought
flashed into his head, and he' started as if
he had been shot. Then he cried in great
distress.
"No, no, anything but that,. I can't do
that !"
Tiger gently licked, his hands, and wato
- him with_ great concern.. 'Now came a
great,struggle. Tom rocked backwards and
forwarcls, and although he, was a prowl boy,
he sobbed aloud. Tiger whined, <licked

cried with a queer shake in his voice : •

you ever forgive rne if I sold -roue"'
Then came another burst of sorrow ' and
Tom rose hastily, as if afraid to-trust him
self, and ahnost ran out of the woodS;
Over the fields he-raced with Tiger close at
his heels,'nor rested a moment till he stood
at' :Major White's :door nearly two miles
away.

" Why, yes," said the old man, in great
surprise, "but do, you want to sell him ?",
" Yes, please," gasped Tom, not daring
to look at his old companion.
The exchamte,was gitiekly Made; and 114
ten dollars in Tom's hand.
Tiger was beguiled into barn;'and thb
door hastily shut, and Torn was hurrying
off, when he turned, and cried in a ‘ ehoking
voice

almost flew out of hearing of Tiger's eager

I aw'making sidry,too long; and can ,
only tell you in a.fe* , words that Tom's sac
rifice was accepted. A friend took little
Dick to the city free of expense, and Torn's
money paid for the, necessary operation.
The poor crooked fingers were very much
improved,.an'd were. soon almeat is good, as
ever. And the whole ;village loved Toil
for his brave self-sacrificing spirit, and the
noble atonement he had made for his mo
ment
,of passion.
A few days after Dick's return came
Tom's birthday, but he did not feel in his
usual spirits. In spite of his great delight
in Dick's recovery, he had so mourned over
the Matter, and had taken Tiger's loss
,so
much to heart, that he had grown quite pale
and thin. So,• as he was permitted.to spend
the day as he .pleased, he took his book,
and went to his favorite haunt 111 the
woods.
"How different from my last birthday,"
thought Tom.
'" Then Tiger had just come, and I was
so happy, though I didn't like him half so
well as I do now."
To sighed heavily; then added more
cheerfully—
" Well, I, hope some things are better.
than they were last year. I hope I have
begun to conquer myself, and with 6od's
help I shall never give up trying while I
live. Now if I could only earn money
enough to buy back dear old Tiger."
But while Tom was thinking, and gazing
up into the blue sky through delicate green
leaves, he heard a hasty, familiar trot—
there was a crashing among the bushes, and
with a quick bark' of joy, Tiger himself,
the brave old dog, sprang into Tom's arms.
"Tiger, old fellow," cried Tom, trying
to look fierce, though he could scarcely keep
down the - tears; "'how came' 'you-to' run
away, sir?" •
Tiger responded by picking up a letter
he had dropped'in his first joy,
,and laying
it in" Tiain's hand.'
Tom opened it, and read in Major White's
trembling band:
" ilty,Deer Child :—Tiger is pining, and
I must give him change of air. I wish .hini

the best ones are those who have learned to

And then Tom read through a mist of

Creosoting •Railroad -Timber.
The fatility with which timber eau be
worked into almost every variety of form,
the fibrous and elastic character which it
possesses, combined with great strength - in
proportion to its weight, renders . it unri
valed as a material for many purposes.
With its many good' qualities, however, it,
has re number of inherent defects, such as
combustibility when exposed to high tem-,
peraturts, and proneness to early decay
when exposed'to moisture and Atmos
phere. In bridges, ships, and other struc
tures, it conuue,nces to decay from, the,very
moment it is exposed. When plaed l in•dry
situations it endures for 'quite a 'long pe
riod, but when situated, like railroad tim
bers, partly above and partly under ground,
exposed to air, heat, and rain, itslife is of
very brief duration. The vast expendi
tures incurred for railroad timber—the
sleepers of which have to be renewed every
few years—have naturally drawn xnuch at
tention
toward the discovery of some pro
cess to render it more enduring. The Ky
anizing, Payeniziug and Burnettizing pro
cesses, for infusing the chlorides of zinc
and mercury and the sulphate of copper
into the pores of wood, so as'to coagulate
its sap . and render it insoluble, have all
been tried with more or less success, but
recent experiments in England', mit4. creo
sote seenilo give it the.palin as a preserva
tive agent over all other substances which'
have been heretofore used. On the Buck
inghamshire Railway about ninety othou
sand sleepers that had been treated' by the
above-nithed three poeesses, and about thir
ty thousand prepared , with creosote were
laid down, and it was found that the .latter
were far 'more durable than the others.
Timber which had , absorbed about eight
pounds of liquid creosote, to ,the,cubie
.foot
was iipparently as sound at the end of five
years., as when first`treated. ,It has also
been stated that this peculiar substance not
aet~~.
only prevents the decay of timber that has
been treated when a'sound condition,
but it also arrests' decay after it has com
menced in timber. This is a most valua
ble condition, 9:nd its reliability has been
tested , on quite la large scale on the Great
Northern and the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railroads, ( i t ngland,) on which roads cre
osoted timbers, that have,been down for
ten years, appear <to be,as,good as when first.
hid.
This 'is 'ad 'important question for our
raihload companies; :they may have their
timbers Areacted clp the very_ spots where
the trees are cut down in the forests.
Creosote is a prpduct,,of the distillation of
wood in retorts; :an,d, it receives its name
from its well-known power to preserve ani
mal, substances by coagulating the albumen.
lids a liquid which,may be made from the
refuse or useless parts of 'the very trees
that are chosen to make railroad timbers.
It can be kept in Wooden tanks into which
the timbers may ,be placed and sunk ,by
weights So 'as to steep them for several days
under the liquor. Creosote has a pungent
oder,'but this,ig - not very objectio' nable; it
is, the same
.as that which flavors smoked
ham, and to ,many persons it is far from
being disagreeible. All timber's for bridges,
the sills of buildings and the sleepers of
railroad tracks should'be treated with this
substance or some other equally as good, if
there is any. The refuse creosotie com
pounds,of coal,' oil-those which are ob
tained rom distilled coal as well as from
the natural oil wells—may be as power
fully antiseptic in their nature as creosote
distilled from wood. ..sPeriments should
be made to determine - this, because such
products t are now, thrown away 'as waste,
whereas they may be usefully applied to
render'expbsed timber ten times more Ott
duiiiifig than it now is, and ,thus save mil
lions of dollarsto our. country annually.

On the opening of the XXVlTH.Congress,
in , December, 1839, in consequence of a ,
two'fol'd delegation from 'New-Jersey, the
Souse was tioable, fore some time, to corn
plete its, organization, and presented to the
country and the world the perilous and
discreditable aspect of the people unable to
form themselres . into a constitutional body.
On first asseiiibling, the House had no offi

the House in vain, and there was nothing
but confusion.and disorder in prospect.
The fourth day opened, and still confu

the hour of disenthrallment was at hand,
and a scene wm,,,prescinted which sent the
mind hack to the days when Cromwell ut- ,
tered exclamation—" 6 eXelaMptitm Sid harry Vane

an instant dispersed the famous Rurcip Par
liament:
Mr. Adams, from. the .opening of this
scene of confusion and anarchy, had main
tained a profound silence. He appeared
to be engaged ., ,,most of)the , time. in writing.
To a common •observer, he seemed to be
reckless of everything around him; but
nothing, not , the slightest incident escaped
him._ The fourth day Of the struggle had
nowco' mmenced; Mr. Hugh H. Garland,
the Clerk,. 'Was dirbetectAU call' the roll

He commenced with Maine, as was usual
these days, and was, proceeding toward

was riveted on the clerk; his• hands .clasped

time or Plamto discuss the merits of the
conflieting:claimants for seats from New 7
jersey; that
subject belongs to the House
ofßepresentatives, which, by the constitu
tion, is made the - ultimate arbiter of pie
qualification , of •its members. But what a
spectacle we here present! We degrade
and l disgrace ,
.ourselves.; we , degra de, and,
disgraCe out. 'Constituetiti and' the country.
We do noti.eXid ;cannot :Organize,' and why ?
Because the Clerk of .this House, the mere ,
Clerk, whora VPeereate,.whoin I'lre:employ,
and whose existence depends upon:oni will,
usurps, ,t he E+l B , utb • t l 44 3 .Pre - '
sentativei, die Vicegerents of the whole
American people, at defiance, .and . hada us s
in contempt! • And'Arli'at. is this 'Clerk of
yours ? lithe to suspepdyby his mere neg
ative,,,theifuUctions of government; itnd.put,
an end to this Congrese? . He refuses to
call the'roll ! in your Poiver to 'corn
.Pel him to call it, if he will not .do it val
,untarily." ,
[Here he was interrupted by a member
who said he was authorized to say that com
pulsion could not reach the Clerk, who
vowed• he would resign, rather than.call the
State of New-,Jersey.]
14 Well, sir, let him resign," continued.
Mr. Adams, gg and we may. possibly Idiecov-.
er some way 'by which' we may , get. along
without the aid of his all-powerful talent,.
learning, and . genius. if we catiniit. organ
ize in any other way—if this Clerk of yours
will not (Consent to our discharging the
trusts conned to us by our constituents—
then let ua imitate the example of the Vir
ginia Rouse' of Burgesses, which, when the
Colonial Governor Dinwiddie ordered into
disperse, refused to obey the imperious and
insulting mandate, and like nice "
The:mtiltitude could not contain or re
press their enthusiasm any longer, but sa
luted the elequent and. indignant speaker,,
and intercepted him with loud and deafen
ing
cheers whiCh7seemed to shake the cap
itol to it. centre. The• very genii of ap
plause and enthusiasm seemed to float in
the atmosphere of the hall, and every heart
expanded .with an indescribable feeling of
pride and exultation.. The' turmoil, the
darkness, the very chaos of, anarchy, which
'had for three days pervaded the American
Congress, .was dispelled by the magic,
tbe talismanic influence of & singlp*an,
and , once more the wheels of government
were set in motion. ' • '
• Having by this powerful appeal brought
the yet unorganized assembly to . a percep
tion of its hazardous position,. he submitted
a motion requiring, the acting Clerk to prc
ceed to call the roll.
. .
This and similar motions had already
been made by other members. The diffi
culty was, that the Clerk declined to enter,
tain them. Accordingly Mr. Adams was
immediately ' -interrupted by a burst of
voices demanding, " How shall the question
be put ?" Who will put the question ?"
The voice. of ,Mr. Adams was-heard above
the, tumult : "I intend . to put the question
myself!" That word brought order out of
chaos. There was the master mind. ,
As soon as the multitude had recovered
itself, and the :excitement of irrepressible
enthusia.stu had ahitted, Mr. Bichard Barn
we11,.-of South Carolina, leaped upon one
of the' desks, waved his hand, and ex
claimed
"I move that the Hon. John Quincy
Adams
,take the chair of the Speaker' of
this House,.and officiate as .presiding offi
cer till the House he organized by the,elec
tion of its constitutional offi.cers.= As many
as are agreed' to this 'will say. dye"
He had not an opportunity to finish the
sentence--- 0 those opposed will say no "
for one universal, deafening, thundering
aye responded to the nomination.
-Hereupon it was moved and, ordered that
Lewis
~Williams of North Carolina, and.
Richard Barnwell Rhett, Conduct John
Quincy Adams to the chair. .
Well did Mr. Wise, of Virginia, say:
" Sir, I regard it as the proudest hour of
your life ;_ and, if, when you shall be gath
ered:to your'fathers,al were asked. to select
the words which, in my opinion, are best
calculated to give' at, once the character of
the man; r 1 would inscribe' on your tomb
this sentence : "I intend to put the ques
tion myself" •

' During the last fourteen years, Some four linindred patents
have been. granted on inventions designed to lighten the
drudgery of family sewing, and at the same time to produce
a machine that could be profitably used foe manufactining
purimees but strange US say, out of this' large' number of
Sewing Machines, only some half dozen hero been proven to
be of practical value; and.of this small ntimber, not one ,has
in it combined the advantaj es! of a family and manufactaring
machine. There are large, heavy, noisy, cumbrous, and
complicated machines, designed for heavy work, that answer
the purpose very well; while there arc others of light
mechanism, and delicate adjustments, which perform on light
work td advantage; -
.and while ' the former are exclu
sively confined to heavy work, the latter are of little value,
except on light fabrics. Therefore I take groat pleasure In
stating the important fact that Mr. Howe, the original in
ventor of Sewing Machines. has recently perfected his Shuttle
Machine so as to combine, in a much smaller apace and with
tar less machinery, the strength and durability of the manu
facturing machines, and at the same time possessing that
delicacy of moveresit mid ease of operation peculiar to the
family machine, and which renders this the only machine in
market capable of working equally well the lightest and
hear fest fabrics, and m therefore designed for
ALL: KINDS OF 'WORK Y.
Forllitractakertt, Vast-maker's, Tallora, Shoe-binders, Gaiter
litters. liammartnalcenT, Carriage•trimmera, as well as for all
varieties et FAMILY SEWING, .
THE HOWE MACHINE
Is the only ono that can give satisfaction, and they will be
sold for one-half lhe money charged for any other machine
capable of doing as heavy work in as good a manner. They
machines turost•ont - of Order by any fair means. and
they will 1,441111 y warranted for one or more years. They
will stich, hem. tuck, cord; bind, gather, and fell; without
basting—makidg the lock-gtitth seittn,(nlikerm both aides) of

Yipped or raveled.
The public arc cordially Invited to call at my rooms, NO.

nutchings nn all kinds of work; do n't be satisfied by merely
seeing/a Machine sew on n rag, but )ring along your light

The points of Superiority, peculiarly its own,. in this Ma
chine, may be briefly stated: '
FIRST. The remarkable simplicity and accuracy of its
mechanism, manifested in the fact, that it in capable of mak
ing, unerringly,, four thousand stitches a minute.
Secosn. It will not drop stitches, and is noiseless in its op
eration.
TIIIRD..The facility with which the learner may,beeorts ex
pait in operating it; inasmuch its no mistake caMbe made in
setting this needle, or in regulating the tension.
FOURTH. &patented device of great utility to learners has
recently been applied. which prevents the possibility of the
Machisse•heing run in the wrong direction, or the balance
• wheel wearing a lady's dress.
Firm. Being made interchangeable in all its parts, any of
them can readily be replaced in ease of aceident.
