rRO:J  THE  ROVEP..
THE MISTAKExY PARISH.
liate on Sunciay afternoon, Mr. Perci- val, the Senior Warden of St. Petcr^s Church entered the lecture room, where M'ere assembled some fifteen or twenty ladies busily sewing on winter garments for the poor, and perhaps half as many gentlemen, husbands, brothers and friends ofthe same, who had come for'the lauda¬ ble purpose of seeing the ladies safe homo over the ice which covered the streets.— When Mr. Pereival entered, all eyes were turned on him, or on an-open letter he held iu his hand, from which, after a 'nod all round,' be began to read as follows:
'If you lyish to retain your pastor at St. Peter's, you must set about raising his sal- arj', for our minister is allKcted with bron¬ chitis, and is obliged to resign his charge, -and our people have sot their hearts on having Mr. Grey in his place, -which they can doubtless do, as they are both able and willing to givo him a -loud call,' to which liis present salary is a mere song.'
'So writes my son from the city,'said the old gentlcBian, folding up the letter; ¦* and as I stood in the post-office, I saw Mr. Grey take from his box a letter wilh the samo post-mark, which contained, 1 suppose, the call here mentioned. 1 came directly here to meet j'ou, and have the opinion of all as to what we must do, and hov/ we can manage to raise the salar.v, and keep him with us.'
' I do not believe a higher salary, alone, ivould induce him to leave us,' said Mrs. IVilliams, a woman of middle age, whose mild, sad face told of much sorrow patient- 3y endured.'
'I don't know,'said Mi-ss Wormwood, an active litlle maiden of forty-five, '] don't know; everybody in these days takes all he can'get; besides, Mrs. Grey ivas bred in the city, and must have a wish, at least, to return to her old habits.'
'Well,' said the warm-hearted Mrs. "Weston, 'I don't believe he'd go for the salary only, but the hope of doing more good, fceing more extensively useful, mighl anftaence him, and as Miss Wormwood .•says, our quiet village life must be dull to iMrs. G.'ey; besides, eight hundred-dollars ayear is too little for anybody to live de- ceutly on, ia these time.s—can't we raise him a thousa.ld dollars at least 1' and she turned appaalingly to the gentlemen, who, grouped at a distance^ ^^8™ niaking the same inquiry.
'I think we should make it twelve hun¬ dred dollars, whicli would be equal to two thousaud in the city,' said Mr^ Pereival, ' and, for my part, I am willing to add twenty dollars to the thirty I pay annu¬ ally.'
'And I will do the same.'—' And I.'— •And I,'—said several wealthy ma.'iufac- turers, 'for, indeed, ive shall never do so well again.'
'And I know George will do as much,' said Mrs. Weston, 'for he loves Mr. Grey like a byollicf, and ivould do anything, al¬ most, to keep him lierc'
Still, though these men's promises were ' good as gold,' there lacked many a dol¬ lar ofthe extra four hundred, and as these were the only men in the village who could really afford to increase their contribution, many a foreboding rose in their hearts that Mr. Grey'musf go, for they could not raise the requisite suni to keep bim. How¬ ever, .Mr. Pereival volunteered to go.round among the inale members of the congre¬ gation, and try what he could persuade them to do; and Sljss Wormwood, who, with a snug little income, no family cares, not one dependant, and an active tem¬ perament  that   always    kept  her doing something—delighted in   such labors  of lave, as she called them, offered to speak to tho females.    So eager was she, that she immediately began to a.sk those about her what they would give, and, after eloquently urging on onc or two the necessity of be¬ ing liberal in such a case, she turned to Mrs. Williams and .said,
' You of course, will increase 3-our con¬ tribution by at least ton dollars a year, for you mver could let Mr. Grey go, you are so fond of him, so I'll set you down as a thirty dollar one,' and she was flying otf, when tho miid widow said,
' Stop, Miss Wormwood—I give as much a'lready as I can afford, and cannot add oi.'c dollar to.my contribution.'
i Why Mrs. Williams ! and profess such affet^ion for Mr. Grey as you do—well, some oeoplo have a sliange way of show¬ ing loy S.'
¦ V'TIs from no lack of love or respect for my pastor Shat T refu.se your request,' rc.- plied the w.'dow, 'but simply because I cannot afford it; and, moriTover, I do not believe he has the least desire fur an in¬ crease of salai"/, or woyld accept it if ofiered to liiro.*
'Well, Mrs. Eyains, you, I know will as¬ sist us, for you are always generous,' and Miss Wormwood turned to a show.iIy dressed woman, who replied with a sim¬ per,
' Oh 1 of coiirse, ma'am—set me down for a thirty dollar one; I can at least do that, Ihoffgh-my income is not larger than Mrs. \Yilliams-l—but there's a great deal in managing,'—and she looked in the fa¬ ces of those around lier to read the coiii-. mendations she felt were due.
'And you,' added Miss Wormwood, ' are not fitting a son for college,'as she saw BIrs. Evans' silly, sheepish looking hopeful enter with the delicate, intellectual boy of Mrs. Williams.
It was almost dark before the last of the speculators left the- room, and when Mrs. ¦\V'estoii was comfortably seated by her husband's side, in his snug little sleigh, well wrapped in ftirs, driving swiftly to- ward their luxurious home, she told him of Mr. Percival's letter, ofthe debate and de¬ cision in consequence, and of herpromise, in her husband's name, to do asmuchasthe rest—'and you icill redeem my word, George, will you noli' she asked, as she marked his thoughtful look, andhissilence for several minutes after her tale was told. 'I do not know, Clara,' he answered at length, 'it cannot be that Harry Grey would leave us for another parish solely on ac¬ count of salary; all his attachments are here, in the home ofhis boyhood—he is so humble he cannot desire a rich and fash¬ ionable congregation—his wants are so few indeed, he does notneei/, andtake my word for it, he will not accept more salary. It is not a month since he told me he needed nothing but a holier heart to make him per¬ fectly happy, and this with him was not cant, for I've known him from infancy, and never found in him the least taint of guile or hypocricy.
'But think, George—only eight hundred dollars a year! Could ice possibly live on if! and their wants must be as ours.'
'You mistake, wife of mine—you and I are the almost spoild children of affluence; self-indulgence makes us require many things of whicli our pastor never even thinks.'
'But his wifo, George—she wasdclicatc- ly reared, and must endure many priva¬ tions in that mean little parsonage.'
'Herswoet, happy face denies your as¬ sertion, and I do not believe that, so long, as she knows Harry Grey loves her, and sees hiiii faithfiilly doing his duly iu his high and holy calling, she has a wish uii- gralified, save the generous one of being able to give more liberally to the needy.' •Well, perhaps you are right, George ; but if tbey do increase his salary, you will redeem my word, and give cheerfully of your abundance 1'
'Surely,'my wife—I will, both for your word's sake, and for my own love to my boyhood's friend, my manhood's wise and gentle counsellor, Harr3' Grey.'
Late that evening old Mr. Everett turned to a lovely girl, of aboutsi.\teen years, who had sat by his side silent and thoughtful for half an hour, and laying his hand caress¬ ingly on her glossy hair, said—
'Come, Lucy, tell us what troubles you; some great matter it must be, for you have not smiled since you came in.'
'Indeed, grandpa, I am troubled' she re¬ plied, 'for I can't think ofa thing I can do to help them raise Mr. Grey's salary;' and she sighed, while her face settled again into unwonted thoughtfulness.
Raise Mr. Grey's salary! what do you mean.childl There's no difficulty in pay¬ ing him his eight hundred dollars—this is not the time of year to worry about that: besides, it is no business of yours, so sing me a song or two, little linnet, and then we'll have prayers and go to bed.'
'But I can't sing, grandpa, I am so very sad, and 'tis all about Mr. Grey's salary, which. Miss Wormwood says, must be raised to twelve hundred dollars, or he'll go away from here, aud what'sliould we do then!'
'Oh! 'tis only onc of Bliss Wormwood's stories to.set people to staring,' said Mrs. Everett, speaking for the first time ; 'but how came you to known any thing about it, Lucy!'
'Why, you know she boards with Mr. Priine—I was there when she came home from the sewing meeting and said that a church in the city bad given BIr. Grey a call, which he would accept if his salary was not raised immeiliately to twelve hun¬ dred dollars.   She said that several ladies" .'lad already promised to give generously, the."? told Mrs. Prime—'of course you'll do your part,' and when the old lady demurred on the p'sa of inability, she launched forth into such a tirade on tho meanness and wickeduess of not being willing to support thosis who broke to us the bread of life, asserting that several persons with scantier means than BIrs. Prime had promised to do their utmost in so good a cause, the poor woman was fairly talked into consent¬ ing, not only to sacrifice some of her own comforts, but to allow Helen to assist Bliss Wormwood in persuading others to do-the €ame.   Helen was very unwilling to go, and only consented on condition tbat I accompanied her.   AVe went first to Mrs. Lawton, who hoard ns patiently, and then refused decidedly to give one dollar more than she has already done, saying that BIr. (xrey's income was a third more than hers, and his family smaller.   Next we applied to BIrs. Phillip.s, and she, after much urging from Helen, agreed to do what other peo pie did, because she could not bear lo be singular and mean, 'but mercy knows," she added,' I must do my part, I suppose, but if I do. Utile Jaif? can't go to the school for the blind this year—well, I can't help it—they shall never say I'm mean and can't pay my minister.'    We went ne.xt to BTrs. McDonald, the dress maker, who replied to Helen's request, 'Really, Bliss Primei you know I havo only my hands to depend on. and it seems as much as ought lo be required of me to pay, as I do, five dollars a year for pew rent, which, with my sub¬ scriptions for the Sabbath school for tracts and other occasional,calls, amounts to at least cigbt dollars a year, and that is much for one who has to sosv to suppoit an in¬ firm iiiutllbT, a bed-ridden'sistei', and to aid a brolhcr, who, though active and in¬ dustrious, is too small yet to support him¬ self entirely; nevertheless, if 1 can, with¬ out trespassing on my mother's comforts,
t will do iny part, for I would sacrilice al- ing her suniiy'cilrls, then' turning ^6 Mr. most any thing rather than lose so faitlifull Grey, h?. added, half whispefingly—
-    -~ .     -«..     i..r. !..._ ('r..li    .«/.      ,.«...     XTo.....r    If    ,rni'i fht
a pastor as Mr. Grey.' When wo left her we w^re both so wearied, and, to tell the truth, so ashamed of our errand, that we would go no wheie else, and I shall never love Ml-; Grey halt so well again.foi asking fur more salary as the condition of remain¬ ing here.'
'I do not believe he did ask,' said Mti. Everett, 'for he is not extravagant and. ^00 is enough for any prudent man, with only two children, in a small town like this." .
'If it is not enough, he ought to starve,' said Mr. Everett. ' Whv, there aro not ten men in his parish whose income is more than Ihat. I'll go and see him to-morrow, to tell him hoiy to economise, and con,' vince him that 'tis enough and more than enough for all his' wants—and he'll hear me, I know he'll hear me, for he's a good boy, and was not I his sponsor in baptism 1 and did not I fight at the side ofhis grand¬ father in the old warl ay, and had to bring his last words and blessing home to his widow. Ah, she is a noble^ woman, and nobly did sho bear the loss, and brought up her six children as well as the best.— Yes, and when Harry's father was lost at sea, she took him and his feeble mother home, and nurtured the one and nursed the other, as if sho had nothing to care for in the world but them, and she never had •S800 a year, nor nothing like it—this all comes of tbat city wife he has taken.'
' Oh! no, grandpa, it does not, for she is the best woman in the world—as meek as an angel—and I know it is'nt her fault."
'Blay be not, child, but those city girls are always extravagant—he'd better have taken Helen Prime.'
'-¦^.nd what would poorFrank have done then, grandpa 1' asked Lucy, smiling; while as if the verj' name of his favorite grandson brought peace to the old man's heart, he re-seated himself, wilh a mur¬ muring'blessing on 'the sailor boy,' re¬ filled his pipe, and aAer half an hour of tranquil silence, bade Lucy call their one domestic; and opening the big Bible, from which he had read every night for more than forty years, ended the day withhis usual prayers; but he asked with a deep¬ er emphasis a blessing on the teachers of tho Truth, and though his voice trembled when he prayed for ' Ihosc who go down to the sea in ships,' there was no sign ol his late emotion.
Thai day, when Mr. Grey returned from the post office, iiis wifo saw an unwonted cloud on his brow, which not even her af¬ fectionate kindness, nor the caresses of hischildren could dispel. When her little ones wore asleep, she stole quietly to his studj' and found him poring over an open letter, -\vhich he immediately handed lior, asking at the same time—' what shall I do!'
She read it, and then said, ''Tis a gen¬ erous and tempting offer—but could you sever tho ties that bind you to your pres¬ ent affectionate people 1'-
'Not if I were aloae, Fanny, but your interests, your happiness, and.our chil¬ dren's, are to be considered. The field for ui^efulness is so much wider, think how much good I might do there, and this Church, too, might be more flourishing under another pastor.'
BIrs. Grey interrupted him—' Set me and the children aside—we liave enough for our wants—enough for our happiness —and ask yourself if this field be not wide enough—if there is any time heavy on your hands ; if there is not now enough of responsibility upon your soull and oh, Harry! where will you find friends so good and so true as those who have watch¬ ed you from childhood with daily increas¬ ing love!' There is not another George Weston, there is not another 'Grandpa Everett,' in all the world. Do not let am¬ bition mislead you, do not let a desire for gain creep into your heart, nor an undue anxiety for the future make'you hasty to leave old, tried friends for strangers.— Forgive me if I am too earnest^ know that it is mord fop my sake than your own you would accept this tempting offer, and I cannot bear that you should be for a mo¬ ment influenced by a mere mercenary mo¬ tive.' She paused—he looked ih her ex¬ cited face for a moment with a half sad smile,^aiid then"said, gently—
' You do not 'quite understand me my wife—I am not as mercenary, nor so am¬ bitious asyouseem'to believe—my people arc twined wilh every fibre of my heart, but i have often thought a stranger might be a more successful preacher to them— that the Church would grow more—they couW not have a pastor who loved Ibom bolter, but thoy might have one they would i^verence more. But we will not speak of this now, Fanny, we will ask, counsel of Him who has promised that whatsoever we ask faithfully shall be received effec¬ tually.'
' While Mr. and BIrs. Grey were at break¬ fast next morning,,]\Ir. Everett bustled in¬ to the room, and was s.carcely welcomed and seated before he began—
' Why, how is this, Harry, that you make the condition of staying with us an in¬ crease of salary; cant 3'ou live on what you haveV
BIr. Grey stared at him in astonishment, and BIrs. Grey exclaimed—'0 1 sir,Harry has asked for no more, and we have c- nough already.'
'Then wliat do these women mean, dan¬ cing round, bogging^eveiy body to assist in making his salary up to twelve hundred dollars, to jriduce him to refuse the 'call' he's received from that church in the city!' ' How was it kuown that such an offer had been made, to me^ the letter reached me only last evening, and I have'not thought of.'—
'Then j'ou don't moan to leave us, my boy,' interrupted the eager old gentleman, inferring from Blr.Grey's manner tbat he did not intend to go—'and you have no bad college debts, to pay, as the women hinled—and you are not extravagant and mismanaging—and 'lis ju-st as my wife said, al! a conceit of that meddling iiliss Wormwood'—and springing hastily from his chair, he almost overturned little Lucy Gie)-, who'.vas trying to climb hjs knee, ^.nd begging him hot to bo angry, for papa is not naughty, 'I know he is'not, and I am not angry,,darling,' he fepfied, draWr ing Ihe swcel child lo his bosom, and kissr
Tell me, now, Harry, if ydiirf»;owc any debt, andif fifly dollars will lielp you, you shall have iV for Frank—bless his heart^lbflmc that sum to buy, he said, 'something to-make-gi'andmother com¬ fortable—but we haye no need °Ci^}d""^ if the warra-heartedrboy ever asksaffiot it, he will be glad we gave it to you.' - BIr. prey pressed the shrivelled hand, which in his earnestness the old man laid, on his arm while tears clouded his dark eyes and replied—' My dear, kind friend,' how can I thank you for this and every proof of your love; indeed, wo do; not want nioney—.my income is amply suffi¬ cient for all our wants, -and when the ne¬ cessities of others require more tbaiil can give, youknow'the purse of Gebrge Wes¬ ton is as open to me as if it were my own !'—and overpowered by emotion, he retired, precipitately to his study, and Mr. Everett, with a hasty kiss to little Lucyj and a kind farewell to her mother, hasten- to tell the good news, as he called it, to his wife. .    '
George Weston called that morning on BIr. Grey, and inquired, more delicately, perhapis, but not more kindly, of his inten¬ tions and wishes, proffering any sum, (for he, too, had heard of college debts, &c.) needful to relieve his friend from all pecu¬ niary embarrassment. The week rolled on, and spite of Mr. Everett's repeated as¬ surances that 'Mr. Grey did not want any more salary,' the collectors were very busy, and in most cases very successful— so that when Saturday came, hardly & doubt remained that the desired sum would be raised, and Mr. Grey retained by them —indeed, they were sure of it, for BIr. Weston was able and no doubt willing to make up the deficiency, though as ho liv¬ ed several miles from the village, he had not been appealed to, but his wifo had giv¬ en her word, and all knew that in most matters,
 '• their minils
Were'aa liie mingling autumn winds Which breathe together.'' When the people asse'rnbled in the porch of the church on Sunday, several of them wero confident they would be asked to re¬ main a while after service to confer with the Rector on urgent business, and Mr. Pereival was unanimously chosen to make the offer of increased salary, and express the wish of the church as regarded a change pf teachers.
Many noticed that BIr. Grey's manner was unusually solemn on that day, and all observed the emphasis with which he gave outthc text—' I have enough, my brother.' He did not say much of Jacob's subtle pol¬ icy, in attempting to bribe Esau to lot liiin and-his people pass through Edom, nor did he dwell on the weakness of Esau in accepting his brother's offering, after so earnestly declining it in the words of the text^—but he spoke eloquently on the ne¬ cessity of being contented with our lot, of being thankful for the blessing so freely bestowed, and, finding his flock unusually attentive, he closed his book, and with a meek and holy look, said—'BIy friend.«,- your thoughts and mine, have been for'the last three days upon the same subject, a subject on which I do not deem it irrevor-. ent to address you on this consecrateil spot.    How you learned I had been invit¬ ed to minister in another parish, I -vvill not inquire—it was my wish j'ou should not know it, for I think it is seldom necessary and never rfcZicafe for a clergyman to inform his people that he has received and reject¬ ed such an offer.    For your affectionate wish to keep me among you, evinced by your zealous endeavor to increase my sal¬ ary, you have my most heartfelt thanks— }^ur motive was liberal and generous— yet it pains me that you have so mistaken mo—that you could  have believed for an hour that he whom you so unanimously chose to succeed our late veriorated pastor —ho, whom some of you before me have shown from his earliest childhood the kind¬ ness of parents and brothers, would on the first summons loose all the cords of gratitude and love which bound him to you and for the sake of lucre, or it may be for the hope of fame, to make his abode with strangers.   No my people, no!    To you my love, my prayers, my thoughts are given—and as regards an increase of sal¬ ary, I beseech you let it not be so much as named among you.    You have been so generous that my income exceeds that of most of you here—T have grown up among you with habits as simple and wants as few as any, and with all truth and earnestness I would say with Esau—' I have enough.' Do not take my remarks unkindly, for I would not cause a moment's pain to any heart—let me still live in yo^ir love, let rae still be blessed and strengthened by your prayers-^remomber,   that   in   becoming your Pastor, I have not ceased to be the child of your own rearing, the seaman's widow's son.
Perhaps some of tho congregation were disappointed—some, perhaps, dissatisfied —bul the kind, the wise and good among them, felt more than ever, that their young pastor was indeed their own. There are well-meaning, mistaken Mr. Pereivsls, a:nd btis-y, priesl pampering Bliss- Wormwoods in all parishes—we hope there are also generous George Westons and at Ie^sf,5ome pastors and (heir loives, as humble, faithlul and contented, as Harry and Fanny Grey.

-The havoc which rum. can make in the breast and brain of a Christian is clearly slio.wh iii.the oxpisrioncG'of a BIr- Dickcr- inan, whoa short time since related his his¬ tory in .tliii temperance meeting at Now Haven.-  ',   ';   , ,
:'Ho. \y^,' he said, Va mechanic at Whil- noyyill|(i((^Jj5^i-,jijl^(le, a profession of reli¬ gion about 25 years since. He drank some at that time, and continued to drink. He was chodeii deacon .about 20 years since. He did not accept the office for fear he should dishonor the cause of Christ; but he officiated for some years. He went on drinking more and ,more,,till finally tho devil told him he had c0.mmittod, the un¬ pardonable sin. The horrors of mind which he then endured were too much for language to describe. "His family aod friends shed many tears for him, and of¬ fered many prayers in.his behalf. He ask¬ ed the church to take his name from the record-r-but they would not give him up. He continued in this dreadful course till about five years since, when he resolved in God's strength never to taste another drop of any intoxicating drink—and by God's help he has been enabled to keep the resolution.
' Alcohol had never laid him in the gut¬ ter, nor given him the delirium tremens, nor beggared his family, but it had given the horrors. No languge could describe how much and how deeply he had suffer¬ ed.'.
Such is a credible witness, and yet there are Christians and Christian ministers who will trifle with alcohol.—Tem. Union.

'J'lic monlh of only twenty eight days; so that for the comple¬ tion of the undertaking, an average of ihirti'-six thousand strokes per diem was required. Tins, at sixty per minute, or ihrcc thousand six hundred per hour—and neither the man, intellect, or the human liuiid could well be c.vpccted to accomplish more—would call for ten hours labor iu every fouj and twenty! But this is not nil. With iiproper feeling uf the respect due to the observance of the Sabbath, the intrepid acceptor of the wager deter¬ mined to abstain from his work on Sundays, and allhough, by this detennination, he diminished by four days iho period allotted lo him, at the same lime by doing t^o he increased the daily average of his strokes lo upwards of forty-one thousand, there can be liitle doubt that the cnnsciousncssof the pro- prOjmety of th:.s sacrilkc frequently cheered him m the course of his Herculean labor.
On the first day he executed about 50,000 strokc.i on ihc second nearly as many, but then his mind v^'flS'fresh and'unwearied- To say the (ruth, his mind never flagged ; at the last stroke of the million, that remained as bright nnd as vigorous as it wat^ at the first.^ Brtt at length, alter matiy days,the hand be¬ came stiff and weary, the wrist swollen; and it re¬ quired almost constant attendance of some assiduous relative or friend to sprinkle it, without interrupling ita progress over the paper, wilh a lotion calculated to relieve and invigorate it. On the three nnd twentieth day the million strokes (exceeded by some few thousands, to '* make assurance doubly sure,") are accomplished ; and the piles of pajier that exhibited them testify, that to the eouragous heart, the willing hands and the energetic mind, nothhig is impossible. These interesting papers arc now placed in the archives of the Koyal Sociuiy, of which their author is a fellow, they were claimed by the gentleman wlio proposed and lost the wager, and are still, we believe, in his possession.—ZionJow P^P-'--	
TUG Fork and the Potato.
Phasm is one.of the most amiable and accommo¬ dating creatures in the world ; but: then there is a limit to amiability itself, as a person found, the olher day, who was one of Phasm's nearest neigh¬ bors, at the table of a public houiic in this city. The individual, for several days, had been so constantly in ihe .habit of troubling Phasm, instead of ihc waiters, for" 'Mhis, that, mid the other" article, on the table, that the latter began to feel " wolfy" nol only about the "head and shoulders'* but all over and was ready for ahnoHt any kind ofa "flare up" with his foe. An opportunity was finally offered.— »' 1*11 trouble you." said Pliasm'a tormentor, at the same time giving him his fork, " to stick my fork into tbat potato.'.' " No trouble at all, sir," said Phasm, plunging the fork into tbe potato, and then- leaving it. "I'll trouble you for my fork now, ij you please.'* " No trouble at all," replied Phasm^ pulling the firk out of the poialo^ and returning iti Phasm says that he has not been troubltd—hy ihat chap—since.—Bcslcn Transcripl.
A friend qf ours acts upon the same principle in carving, whenever he is baited with a request to give a rcry small piece—an affronting insinuation that he does not know how large a slice lo put on a lady*s plate. He cuts as small a piece as one point or the.fork will take up; There is generally a second call, for one " somewhat larger."—JV. y. Com. Adv.

Mr. HowKTT—Sir: Having used ''Gold's Patent Lamps" ior six monihs, I can cliperfnlly unite in recommending it to the public. It is decidedly preferable to the oil Lamps generally in use; there is a difFerenre cf at leasst 20U per cent, in favor of Gold's Lamps. First—it shows double the lighl; 2dly—at onc half the cost. From nctual compar¬ ison, I have found that onc quart of sperm od, al a cost of 31 cts.,burnt about 14 hours; while J qt. of Pine oil, at 17 cts, burnt 2^ honrs.
When the public become acquainted with those facts, it will have a powerful inducement in urging them to UHC '-Pine Oil"—os thutargnment perhaps morn powerfnlihan all oiher.9—viz: inter e.^t,vf\\] urge Ihem lo do so.
