May the example here depicted of a true Elder lead many, both those who are young in years, and such as are further advanced in life, not only to see and admire, but also to seek after the excellency of the simplicity of the Truth and that estate into which the Power thereof gradually brings a man, who, in a total denial of self, fully gives up to be formed by it; especially where they see the example and exercise of so faithful a father blessed to his son, as they were in the case of Richard Shackleton, who was enabled to follow the footsteps of his worthy parent, of both of whom it be said, How firm to Truth's life as well as to Truth's principles!' these dear Friends being remarkable examples of a continual patient waiting for, and humble yielding to, the pure life of Christ in the soul."

in our own hearts, and faithfully to obey its requirings. It is not the accumulation of even right religious notions in the head; it is not a facility of writing or speaking about them from such conceptions; it is not a good capacity by which we may give a reasonable plea for our religious sentiments and conduct, and by which we may defend them from the attacks of others; it is not in these things that our stability and growth in religion consist. We may be clear in the head, and yet deceived in the heart; while our eyes are roving about in speculation on these matters, an insidious adversary may lay snares for our feet, and he that thinks he stands, may too late be convinced of his weakness by his fall. Let us, therefore, my dear friend, walk cautiously and circumspectly, as in the day. Let us keep in the child's state, while we are but children, waiting patiently to be fed in due season with food convenient for us, not seeking to be anything in form or degree, but as the inward operative principle of life shall gradually make us. The inward, as well as outward creation is, I had like to have said, infinite in its variety. Let us, therefore, not be so solicitous to model our conduct after the example of others, as desirous in simplicity to be what the Lord would have us to be. If we are passive enough in his hand to be squared, fashioned, and fitted by him, there is no fear but that in due time he will bring us into our proper respective places in the spiritual building, in his church. "In the meantime, let us keep a watch over the wanderings of our own imaginations, and know a limitation to them, as well as a bridle to our tongues. There is a laudable parsimony and frugality in religion, especially suitable to young beginners in this commerce. We should not be lavish of the main stock, but rather imitate the woman who took the leaven (received the precious visitation), and hid it in three measures of meal, till the whole body, soul, and spirit, was leavened. David also saith, Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.' And the closer this is pent up in our own breasts, like fire in a close oven, the sooner and the more effectually it will consume the chaffy and the transgressing (which is the combustible) nature, and then be as a flame of joy, purifying, keeping clean, enlightening, and enlivening the mind through 24th. At Street, Somerset, JOHN FARLEY RUTTER, solicitor, all its faculties. But I have thought that too free a communication of our thoughts, and disclosing of our estates to others, has rather had a tendency to make destitute and inwardly lean. It is like giving a vent to the oven, and protracting the time of the painful operation of His judgments, who is said to be a consuming fire. Do not, dear mistake me; I do not remember to have heard of thy being too communicative in this respect, neither would I at all dissuade from imparting a little of one's feelings (under a fresh sense, and with a proper freedom) to a near friend. We are on all sides surrounded with dangers, and we have but the one all-sufficient help, which is the grace of God. As our spirits happily keep in unity with this, we shall be taught when and how to be free, and when to be reserved. This is the key of David, which locks and unlocks. This is that which alone qualifies to show forth by our tenets, lives, and conversations, that we are in reality Christians, followers of Christ. And after all is said and done, this is what those of our profession, and of all modes of religion under heaven, must come to be led and taught by, if ever they come to be enabled to live acceptably in the sight of their common Creator whilst here, or ever become prepared for an eternity of happiness hereafter. To this Divine Instructor, infallible guide, and saving help, I heartily commend thee, and remain

"Thy affectionate Friend." The foregoing sample of the contents will, we trust, induce our readers to possess themselves of this excel

TWELFTH MONTH, 1849.

In Australia, (Sir) BENJAMIN SMART, aged about 25, many years apprentice and assistant at Isaac Brown's school, Hitchin. His father, the late Benjamin Smart, of Rock Mills, Warwick, from a peculiar view of the obnoxious distinctions of titles, named his eldest son as above; another was named Master Benjamin; and a third Prince Benjamin, so as to compel the use of these names in order to distinguish them. It failed, of course, in practice, as they were dropped out of the family; and sometimes proved a disadvantage as the children grew up. The young man was a steady Friend, though not a member of Society; and all his family were connected with Friends. He appears to have been cut off under very promising prospects.

-IMPORTANT CAUTION.-The Patentee respectfully informs the Public, and Dealers, that his Starch continues to be manufactured upon the principle that has obtained for it such a decided preference over all others. And, notwithstanding the many articles that are made in imitation of it, the superiority of this Starch is best proved by the fact, that other Starch-makers not only pirate and imitate the manufacture, but actually forge the maker's name. L. H. has now, however, obtained injunctions against the makers of these spurious imitations, and purchasers are, therefore, requested to ask for "LAWRENCE HALL'S PATENT STARCH;" and, also, to observe that every Package of the genuine article has a Facsimile of his Signature upon the Label.

CANDLES REQUIRING NO SNUFFING. HE BRIGHTON COMPOSITE and PALACE and COMPANY, Brighton.

The increased demand which, of late years, has sprung up for Candles of this description, induced J. G. BASS and COMPANY to pay particular attention to their manufacture. Their Candles have, for several years, been acknowledged, both in quality and appearance, equal to the best, and, at the same time, to burn with a pale blueish flame, giving a bright soft light which has not yet been attained by any other Makers. The Palace Wax are an excellent hard Candle, bearing a very close resemblance to real wax, at less than half the

cost.

These Candles may be obtained of all respectable Grocers and Oilmen.

AN EXACT COPY OF THE CELEBRATED PICTURE OF

WILLIAM PENN'S TREATY WITH THE INDIANS,

From a Proof Impression after the Original Painting by BENJAMIN WEST, President of the Royal Academy.

The recent discussions, to which the animadversions of Macaulay, on some circumstances in the life of this celebrated man, have given rise, have awakened anew the interest which many of the events in that chequered life were so well calculated to excite; and rendered everything that could be brought to bear on it, illustrative of his character, a desider

atum.

Two of these events were of a prominence that could not be concealed-his TRIAL AT THE OLD BAILEY, and his TREATY WITH THE INDIANS: the one, the triumphant assertion of that palladium of British Liberty, Trial by Jury; the other, a commentary on the supremacy of good faith over every other bond of security; the establishment of a Treaty, impressively characterized by Voltaire, as the only one which was not confirmed by an oath, and the only one which was never broken." These two conspicuous events characterize the man. Of the first, we have no representation from the hand of the painter, that we are aware of. Of the second, the copies have been multiplied till the plate has been worn out, and its impressions rendered as worthless as the subject would permit them to be.

The former we have now no means of supplying; the latter it is still in our power to replace, and this it is our purpose to do, in a manner worthy of the subject, agreeable to the above Prospectus.

N.B.-Should any Print or Painting of the "Trial at the Old Bailey" be in existence, the intimation of such circumstance, specifying particulars, will be thankfully received by the Publishers.

GUTTA PERCHA TUBING.

AMONGST the peculiar properties possessed by this Tubing, which render it an article of great value, not

Manufacturers, but to the public generally, are the following:

Lightness, combined with remarkable strength, (a -inch tube having resisted a pressure of 337 lbs. on the square inch). Non-affection by the carbonic, acetic, hydrofluoric, or muriatic acids, or by the most caustic alkalies. This remarkable, property renders Gutta Percha so valuable for the conveyance of water, lining of cisterns, &c., being free from the deleterious effects to health resulting from the use of lead for those purposes.

Peculiar power of resisting frost.

Readiness with which it can be connected (by means of the Gutta Percha Union Joints) with the water tap, or pump, and used for watering gardens, washing windows, carriages, &c.

Great lengths in which it can be made (50 to 500 feet) without a joint.

Ease with which the requisite joints can be made.

Facility with which it can be cut open, and again repaired, in case of stoppage.
Extraordinary power of conducting sound.

APPLICATIONS OF GUTTA PERCHA

DOMESTIC TELEGRAPH.

TIE extraordinary despatch of railways and electric

telegraphs seems to have given an impetus to the national character in economizing time in an infinite variety of ways, never even dreamt of a few years ago. Quakers are notorious for saying and doing, in a few words, twice as much as most other people. A scientific member of the Society of Friends has rendered the novel material of Gutta Percha Tubing subservient to an important saving of time and footsteps in the domestic circle. In consequence of the peculiar power possessed by this tubing for the transmission of sound, he has applied it for the conveyance of messages from the parlour to the kitchen. Even a whisper at the parlour mouth-piece is distinctly heard when the ear is applied at the other end. Instead, therefore, of the servant having to answer the bell, as formerly, and then descend to the kitchen to bring up what is wanted, the mistress calls attention by gently blowing into the tube, which sounds a whistle in the kitchen, and then makes known her wants to the servant, who is able at once to attend to them. By this means the mistress not only secures the execution of her orders in half the usual time, but the servant is saved a double journey.— Daily News, July 12, 1849.

CUTTA PERCHA SHEET

EING totally unaffected by rain, moisture, salt water, acids, alkalies, oil, grease, &c., is useful for the

BEING

following purposes :

Surgeons can be supplied with Gutta Percha Sheeting, in any quantity or colour, for Splints in Fractures, Diseased Joints, Luxations, &c. By immersing in boiling water it becomes perfectly soft, and can be accurately moulded to the contour of a limb; it hardens immediately when cold water is applied. To the country Surgeon it is invaluable, on account of its ready adaptation to numerous surgical purposes. The Thin Sheeting is peculiarly valuable for air-tight hydropathic bandages.

The Gutta Percha Sheet may be easily joined into any shape by heating the edges with a warm iron.
