would  be  a  noble  uoion  if  all  who  work  would

use ;  if  tbey  would  make  their  weekly  payments 
one  of  them  to  the  savings'  bank  or  building

eir  wages  to  the  comfort  and  welfare  of  ihcir 
■n/amiUa  I  This  is  the  good  tradti'  union,  into 
lidi  the  people  of  England  Bhould  enter  to  a 
10.  A  union  iu  which  the  glittering  piles  of 
Id  and  liWer  paid  in  wages  weekly  in  the 
oited  Kingdom  would,  like  the  "sweet  dew 
im  heayeo,"  confer  a  blessing  on  all  around. 
About  one  million  one  hundred  thousand 
rNDS  8T8KI.INQ  are  weekly  squandered  in 
toxicAting  drink  and  tobacco  by  the  working 
uses  of  the  United  Kingdom.  Imagine  that 
r  a  single  week,  no  intoxicating  liquors  were 
onk,  but  that  all  this  money  were  sent  to 

Manchester 

r  cottons,  calicoes,  &c.  What  excitement  there 
)uld  bo  on  the  exchange,  giring  and  receiving 
ders!  How  merrily  would  go  the  mills  and 
anufactories  !  How  the  warehouses  would  bo 
led  with  goods  until  nearly  a  thousand  waggo) 


All  this  long  line 
of  glorious  deeds 
could  bo  accom- 
plished  in    twelve 


were  tho  working 
classes  of  the  Uni- 
ted Kingdom,  for 
that  time  to  refrain 

drink!  What  other 

union  would  he  so

fort to  innumerable 
homes,  overflowing  with  henefits  to  all ! 

From  an  excellent  pamphlet,  entitled  "  Good 
Times."  published  by  Grootnbridgo,  3d,  One  of 
the  best  threepennyworths  of  matt«r  a  working 
man  can  purchase.- [Ed.  B.  W.] 


A  ooop  old  working  man  was  onco  in  company 
with  a  fellow  workman  who  occasionally  introduced 
into  conversation  the  words,  "  devil,  deuce,"  &c., 
and  who  at  last  took  the  name  of  God  in  vain. 

"  Stop,  Sir,"  said  the  old  man,  "  I  said  nothing 
while  you  only  used  freedom  with  the  name  of 
your  master,  but  I  insist  upon  it  that  you  UIQ  no

THE  STRANGE  PREACHER. 

The  message  which  tho  minister  of  the  gospel 

brings  is  indeed  a  strange  message,  and  which 

those  who  do  not  receive  it  cannot  understand. 

Tho  following  incident  extracted  from  tho  "  Life 

'imes  of  the    Countess  of    Huntingdon," 

beaatifnlly  illustrates   that  gospel  to  which  so 

many  are  ludifTerent,  and  others   despise,  but 

which  is  worthy  of  all  acceptation." 

Some  ladies  called  one  Saturday  morning  to 

xy  a  visit  to  Lady  Huntingdon,  and  during  the 

sit  her  Ladyship  inquired  of  them  if  they  had 

;er  heard  Mr.  Whitefield  preach!    Upon  being 

answered  in  tho  negative,  sho  said,  "  I  wish 

They  promised  her  Ladyship  they  would  ccr- 

inly  attend— they  were  as  good  as  their  word : 

id  upon  calling  on  the  Monday  morning  on  Lady 

Huntingdon,  she  anxiously  enquired  if  tlioy  had 

heard  Mr.  Whitefield  on  the  previous  evening. 

and  how  they  liked  him?    The  reply  was,  "0 

my  Lady,  of  all  the  preachers  we  ever  heard  ho 

most  strange  and  nnaccountabte.     Among 

preposterous  things  (would  your  Ladyship

wilhng  to  receive  sinners,  that  he  did  not  object 

iivo  oven  the  devil's  castaways  I    Now,  my 

Lady,  did  you  ever  hear  of  such  a  thing  since  you

following  reply:  "There  is  something,  I  acknow,

ho  heard  of  tho  pamlul  event.  Ho  had  saved 
about  fifty  pounds  by  his  laboor.  Immediately 
he  went  to  the  south  of  England,  and  called  on 
the  pious  minister  the  day  before  the  funeral  of 
his  wife  and  children.  I  need  not  tell  you  that 
their  meeting  was  a  very  afl'ecting  one.  I  re- 
ceived a  letter  from  this  minister,  tolling  mo  what 
was  bis  astonishment  to  find,  when  this  man 
had  left  him,  that  a  small  bag,  tied  up,  wa£  laid 
upon  the  table,  containing  fifty  pounds.  The 
workman  afterwards  said,  "  1  should  never  have 
been  able  to  save  this,  if  it  had  not  been  for  your 
giving  mo  that  tract,  and  for  its  after  conse- 
quences ;  and  I  felt  that  the  least  I  could  do  for 
the  great  blessing  God  has  vouchsafed  to  me,  was 
to  give  yon  of  my  personal  substance,  to  show  my 
gratitude  to  Him  and  my  love  for  you."— Sir

he  is  willing  to  receive  the  devil's  castaways."* 
Mr.  Whitefield  immediately  replied,  "  I  certai 
ly,my  Lady,  must  plead  guilty  to  the  charge:  whe- 
ther I  did  what  was  right  or  otherwise,  your  Lady- 
ship shall  judge  from  the  following  circumstance. 
Did^oor  Ladyship  notice,  about  half  an  hour  ago 
a  very  modest  single  rap  at  the  door?  It  was 
given  by  a  poor,  miserable  looking,  aged  female, 
who  requested  to  speak  with  me.  I  desired  her 
to  be  shown  into  the  parlour,  when  she  accosted 
me  iu  the  following  manner : — '  I  believe.  Sir,  it 
was  you  that  preached  last  evening?'  'Yes,  I  did.' 
'  Ah,  Sir,  I  was  accidentally  passing  the  door,  and 
hearing  the  voice  of  some  one  preaching,  I  did  what 
I  have  never  been  in  the  habit  of  doing — I  went 
in ;  and  one  of  the  first  things  I  heard  you  say 
was,  that  Jesus  Christ  was  so  willing  to  receive 
sinners,  that  he  did  not  object  to  receiving  the 
devil's  castaways.  Now,  Sir,  I  have  been  his 
slave  for  many  years,  and  am  so  worn  out  in  hi* 
service,  that  I  think  I  may  with  truth  be  called 
one  of  the  devil's  castaways.  Do  you  think,  Sir, 
that  Jesus  Christ  would  receive  me?'  I  (said  Mr. 
Whitefield)  assured  het  there  was  not  a  doubt  of 
it  if  she  were  but  willing  to  go  to  Him."' 

From  the  sequel,  it  appeared  that  this  was  the 
case,  and  that  it  ended  in  tho  sound  conversion 

assured,  from  most  respectable  authority,  that 
the  woman  left  a  happy  testimony  behind  her, 
that,  though  her  sins  bad  been  of  a  crimson  hue, 
the  atoning  blood  of  Christ  had  washed  them

In  that  early  day  ardent  spirits  were  dee 
indispensable  to  warmth  in  winter.  When  c 
moncing  a  journey,  and  at  every  stopping-place 
along  the  road,  the  traveller  always  used  intoxi- 
cating drinks  to  make  him  warm. 

"  No,"  said  Mr.  L. ,  "  I  never  touch  any- 
thing of  the  kind,  and  I  will  tell  you  the  reason — 
my  wife  islhecauieof  it.  I  had  been  in  the  habit 
of  meeting  some  of  our  neighbours  every  evening, 
for  the  purpose  of  playing  cards.  We  assembled 
at  each  other's  shop,  andfiquors  were  introduced. 
After  a  while  we  met  not  so  much  for  playing  as 
drinking,  and  I  used  to  return  home  late  in  the 
evening,  more  or  less  intoxicated.  My  wife  always 
met  me  at  the  door  affectionately,  and  when  I 
chided  her  for  eibting  up  so  late  for  me,  she  kindly 
replied,  •  I  prefer  doing  so,  for  I  cannot  sleep  wbeo 

"This  always  troubled  mo.  I  wished  in 
heart  that  she  would  only  begin  to  scold  me  ; 
then  I  could  have  retorted,  and  relieved  my  c 
science.  But  she  always  met  me  with  the  sa 
gentle  and  loving  spirit. 

"  Things  passed  on  thus  for  some  time,  whe 
at  last  resolved  that  I  would,  by  remaining  very 
late,  and  returning  much  intoxicated,  provoke  h(

■WoHKiKo  Men  of  ScoUand  baring  experienced  the

towards  extending  tbe  same  boon  to  their  fellow  sons 
of  tod — tho  Shopkeppers. 

We  ba\c  received  a  printed  list  of  resolutions  passed

It  is,  I  think,  one  of  the  greatest  evils  of  this  countrj' 
that  toil  has  become  so  excessive,  that  all  considerations 
of  health — all  attention  to  intellectual  improvement — 
and  even  the  time  which  ought  to  bo  devoted  to  spiri- 
tual worship,  is  lost  in  that  excess  of  labour  which  the 
people  of  this  country  undergo. — Lord  John  Bussell.

When  we  had  cleared  the  harbour  he  en-

early  life  apprenticed  to  a  tkoemaker.  In  his  leisure 
lurs,  he  acquired  an  excellent  knowledge  of  maihemn- 

gress  in  the  Latin  and  Greek  languages. 
He  then  entered  on  the  study  of  Natural 
Philosophy,  of  which  he  obtained  a 
complete  knowledge.  The  phenomena 
of  electricity  and  magnetism  bad  ever 
the  greatest  charm  for  him.  In  1636. 
he  commenced  a  periodical  entitled, 
"The  Annals  of  Electricity,  Magnetism, 
and  Chemistry,"  of  which  beiuued  10 
volumes. 

He  ultimately  rose  to  tbe  high  posi- 
tion of  professor  of  Natural  Philosophy 
in  the  Military  Academy  at  AddJscombe.

I  ONCE  visited  a  travelling  tinker, 
who  bad  become  lame,  and  was  un- 
able to  follow  his  daily  labour.  He 
was  in  distress,  and  required  help. 
The  pipe  on  the  hob  shewed  that  he 
was  a  smoker.  On  my  making  some 
allusion  to  the  pipe,  he  said,  "  Both 
me  and  wife  have  smoked,  sir,  ever 
^\  j  since  we  were  wed.  We  have  never 
bail  more  nor  less,  than  '  a  pcn'otb 
of  bacca'  every  day."  Uaviiig  as- 
ccit'iuicd  the  length  of  time  they  had  been  married,  I  took 
out  m\  pencd  and  made  a  calculation  as  to  the  amount  sjicnt 
by  them  in  these  *  pennies."  Judge  of  the  tinker's  sur|irise, 
wlien  1  thus  addressed  him.  "Wy  friend,  if  you  had  placed 
the  money  in  tlie  Savings  Bank,  (where  you  would  have  had 
interest  allowed  for  your  money,)  instead  of  wasting  it  in 
Binoke,  you  might  to-day  have  felt  independent  of  others,  for 
your  Pennies  would  have  amounted  in  your  bank-book  to 
the  noble  sum  of  NINETY  POUNDS!" 


CONDENSED  SMOKE. 
A  WORKING  man  informs  us  that  after  smoking  tobacco  for 
about  thiity  years,  he  gave  it  up  about  five  years  ago.  At 
that  time,  there  was  established  in  the  town  where  he  resides, 
a  "Five  Years  Friendly  Society,"  of  which  he  became  a  member. 
Into  this  society  he  paid  the  amount  tvhich  he  had  formerly  spent 
in  tobacco,  and  when  the  society  was  broken  up  last  month,  he 
had  the  gratification  to  carrj  home  the  five  years"  smuke,  in  the

CAUTION! 

WORKINS  MEN  I  The  Ameriojn  panic  is  causing  a  fearful  commercial  crisis  in  our  country. 
Many  masters  will  be  compelled  to  work  "  short  time."  Thousands  of  industrious  men  may  be 
thrown  out  of  work  altogether.  Husband  your  resources  I  Save  your  "beer  and  'bacca"  money.* 
You  will  need  it  for  "  beef  and  bread  "  this  winter.  WOBKINQ  MEN'S  WIVES  1  spend  nothing  in

,  cleanly,    mraMooktng   1 


rateful  to  Goil  to  find  poverty  and  toil  alleviated  by 
3  much  apparent  enjoyment  ; — I  felt  respect  lor  the

rai  that  this  cottage  should  possess  aa  aspect  so  dif-

Oa  such  occasions  I  have  repeatedly  foond  some 
xcuse  or  plea  in  order  to  introduce  myself  to  the

.wcllings  occupied  by  the  working- classes  accord- 
o  their  good  or  bad  character,  exert  an  influence 
their  inmates  for  good  or  evili  and  that  one  of  iho 
mtsans  of  elevating  and  improving  this  important

PRECIOUS    TRUTH. 
For  God  BO  loved  tho  world,  that  He 
■ftve  S'-''  ^"^^  bogottea  ^od,  that  whoBo- 
gp  tjelieveth  in  Him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  everlasting  life. 

For   God    sent   not   His  Son  into  the

the  world  thi-ough  Him  might  bo  saved.

SOLEMN   TRUTH. 
'      Be  not  decoived;  God  is  not  mocked: 
I    fgp  vhatsoever  a  man  soweth,  that  shall 
I    ha  also  reap. 

For  he  that  soweth  to  hia  flesh  shall 
of  tbe   floeli    reap   corruption;    but   he 
I    that  Boweth  to  the   Spirit  shall  of  tho

Stands  gazing  on  Uie  now-closed  factory  gate. 
And,  sick  of  waiting,  struggles  to  keep  down 
Lawless,  uogirlish  thoughts.

As  men  who  feel  the  kinship  of  their  race

And  closed  is  the  factory's  heavy  gate.'

Thy  o^^-n  poor  timid  nature  searco  restraining 
Its  doubt  and  fear  ? 

Yet,  ah,  distmst  not ;  Heaven  shall  still  befriend  thco, 

In  faith  the  path  of  duty  bravol;'  tread  :

called  away,  by  urgent  business,  from  his  shooting-box. 
Expecting  to  return  in  a  few  hours,  he  left  his  fine  dogs 
abut  up  in  one  of  the  rooms  in  which  game  was  kept. 
Instead  of  returning  as  expected,  the  gentleman  had  to 
start  for  a  distant  part  of  the  country.  He  iorgot  all 
about  his  poor  dogs.  On  his  return,  several  days  later, 
he  found  them  quite  dead.  Although  starving  for  food,

By    the     Author   of    "   How    Sam    Mums'

"  The  title  accords  with  the  story, 
which  abounds  in  the  wrong-headed 
good  sense  and  right-hearted  folly 
which  render  social  science  homilies 
especially  attractive  to  the  uneducated 

...  It  has  already  achieved  a 
place  in  the  standard  literature  of  the 
classes  to  whom  it  is  especially  ad- 
dressed, and  it  well  deserves  its  popu- 
larity."— /ilhenxum.
