- MORAL READINGS. . . Sat urday Evening* This night draws to a close the labors of the week. The hammer of the mechanic , the I rowel of the mn- | »on and brieklaver , the br ush o( the p.iiii ter ,the saw -•.n.l phme of the carp enter , (he ra ttling of draysand o nnibnsses arrested, the thou sand bargains in the • lilFurnt ramificatio ns of tra de are broug ht to a close. .S empstresses , millin ers and tailors , have finished the various fashionable garments oidered ,to be disp layed on the coming Sabba th. The hatter 's iron has grown cold , and the boot maker lias thrown down ins last ; the Washe rwoman has delivered her clean linen to Imr customers ; the stevedore, the sailor , the labor- er and the slave , ha ve alike ended their labors for the week , and have received the wages of their hire. The book-keeper and clerk hav e left the counting - room—the labors of all , in fact , are drawn to a close. >«ve that of the pri nter and the editor ; for then I here is no rest. What happ iness and mi sery pre- vail ot a Saturd ay ni ght. The fair daug h ters ol oui opulent merchants are dressing for th e opera or the atre, as it is the fashionable ni gh t ; our youn g gal lnnts, too, are making thei r toilet to escort them .per h aps. Look into the thousand elegant d r a w i n g rooms of our city, and see the wealth and happ ines that prevail. Now the reverse of the picture. Look in that miaerable.scantily furnished room ,and see that yom.g wife, with her infant sleeping on her bosom. She has wept bitte rl y. Wha t is the cause ? Her faith- less husband ,instead of coining fioine' with his week's earning s, is spending it at the grog-shop,or the. gam- ing 'table. Ho w many poor ,lost ci;'catures ,tbis ni ght , think of the 'happy homes they ha've left and lost ?— What a ni ght is this among th e. prisoners in our jails and prisons, and how different is it at sea with the sailor ? How do the gay assemblages of f'ashien and beauty at our operas and tt'eat res <-on espond with the misery and wretchedness of p overty and want ? Saturday niulit ! What'a thousand prep arations , various as they are numerous, a re there not made for the morro w ? And yet ,wi th ten thousand scenes before us, we cannot hel p indul ging in the reflec- tion , that the beggar boy who lies , perhaps , on the pallet of stra w, dreami ng of the happ iness of the coming Sabbath , sleeps as sweetl y and'.as soundl y as ¦the rich man 's little son , who , ha\inji u ndergone ab- lutions , and being robed in linen ,sleeps on the couch of luxu ry. What a ni»ht , indeed ,is Saturday ni ght , with all the world !— [New Orleans Picayune. There is nothing which adds so much to the beau- t y and po wer of man as a good moral character. It is his wealth—his life . It di gnifies him in every con- dition , and glorifies him in every period of lif e.— Such a character is mo re to be desired thati ' any thing else on earth. It makes a man free and inde- pendent. No servile looi , no crouchi ng sycop hant, no treacherous honor-seeker ever bore such a char- acter. The pure joys of t ruth and ri ghlcou snes? never spring in such a person. If you ng men but knew how much much a good cha racter would di g- nify and ex alt them—how glorio us it would make their prospects, eyen in this life ; n ever should we find them y ielding to the gro veling and base bon: purposes of h uman nature. Mora! Cnar wctcr. If a man cannot enjoy the pleasure of friendshi p, and is without friends , he eannot enjoy or appre- ciate his existence , there would be no inducement for perseverance , nothing to rouse him to energy, and nothing to animate him , he, would be miserable and make all around him unhappy. Then how val- uable is a true friend , he who studies your interest , and makes you one of the objects of his care ; such is a true* friend , whom you should value more than gold , and regard as nearest to your bosom. [Dr. Chalmers. «I'i«2assspjsi». An undevout soul is like a tree in rich earth ,but with perishing roots. Such a tree may have the sun to warm it , and the dews to moisten its bark , and the breezes to blow throug h its branches , and so it miy maintain a show of life , but onl y a show. And the soul of a.man may receive into itself , throug h his eyes, all the objects of the world , and throug h his oars, the knowled ge of all thatjias e\e.r happened , and his mind become, at the best , not much better than a, dictionary of words, aifd a growing catalogue of things. Because , for knowled ge to become wis" doiii, and for the. soul to grow ,the soul must be root- ed in God ; and it is thro', prayer that there comes to us that which is the stroj ngth of our strength , and the virtue of our virtue , tl-i'e Hol y Spirit. [Moulford's Euthanasy. Devotion * A writer beautifull y rema rks that a man 's mother is the representative of.his Maker. Misfortune,a nd even crime , set up no Jdarriers between her and her son. While Ins mother.lives,he will have one friend on the earth who will; ' not listen when he is slander- ed , who will not desert him when he suffers, who will soothe him in his sorrows, and speak to him of hope when he. is read y to.despair. He r affection kno ws no ebbing tide. It flows on from a pure foun- tain , and speaks happ iness throug h th e, vale of tears, and ceases onlv at the ocean of eternity . Tlie Mothe r. Th ere are not a few boys anil gi rls in some part of our cities and largest inmn that seem almost, hope- less. One would think to look at them , th at there could be but a shade of difference between them and 'the beasts that perish.' I' tit there are kind hearts that exp ect soineibing from them , and bold heart- that go into the cellars and gutters after them , and pluck them as brands from the burning. When they a re washed and dressed clean , they are found to be human. They have musi cal voices , and bri ght eyes and quick thoug hts. They are ali ve 'o praise and blame ,and tjie very fi rst hour they spend in the Sunday school which is open for them , awakens interest and encourages new efforts. In London nearl y ten thousand such childien have been thus save! by ' wh at are called 'Rasrsed Schools.' Be- thanklu! , yniin, reader , tha ' you hat e food and rai- ment , and kind friends and Teachers , and that God has also in- ovidc d such means of instruction for the wr etched and neg lect ed •children of the streets.

The Oven is more capaciou s than that of most other stoves , the peculiar construction of the flues around the I oven , ami t he extended Hot-Air Chamber in front of the oven makes it the most effective bake oven ever constructed in a stove, equaling any brick oven , and will heat in much less time , and consequentl y with less fuel th an the ovens in other stoves. This Stove is equally well adapted for burninsr wood or coal. When coal is used , the Top is lined with iron or soap-stone , to protect it from the intense heat of a coal fire , and thus it is preserved a much longer time than the tops of other stoves.
