The editor of the Gospel Banner, describing 

 New Yoi'U Cliiircli customs, says : 



" As soon as he closes his .sermon by the word 

 ' amen,' lip jump l»o active puhlicans, who fly 

 aliout, each with a contiihiuioii l)o.\, and nimlily 

 thrust it lietbii- the face of every person in the 

 house for cash. W'l- dislike very much, the [iliff- 

 ling of cop|ier ceiiis anil silver sixpences in the 

 church during' servire." 



We don't like it cither. It destroys the spirit- 

 ual character of the worship, und gives it theap- 

 pearimces of a mere business transaction. It 

 looks mercenary. — Portland .American. 



Ilow TO MAKE Monet. — The Picayune thus 

 instructs it readers, and people generally : — "Let 

 the business of every body else alone and attend 

 to your own. Don't buy" what you don't want. 

 Use every hour to advantafje, and study to make 

 even leisure hours useful. Think twice before 

 yon throw away a dollar; remember you will have 

 anoiufr to make for it. Fiiiil recriNilion in look- 

 ing; after Miiir biisiiii-ss, and so, your business will 

 not be iiei;lecled in looking after recreation. Buy 

 low, sell fair, and take care of the profits. Look 

 over your books regularly, and if you find iin er- 

 ror of a cent, trace it oiil. Should a stroke of 

 misfortune come upon yon in trade, relrtnch, work 

 harder, bill never '• fly the lia.k." Cinitront dilli- 

 cnliius w ith miflincMing per.severr.nce, and they 

 will disappear ut lubt. Tlioiif;li you sliuuiti even 

 fail in the struggle, yon will be honored, but 

 shrink from the task and you will be des(iised. 

 Byloliomiig these rules, however, you '"need 

 never say iiiil." I'ay debts promjuly, and so e.x- 

 act your dues. Keep your word. Take the 

 papers. Advertise. 



Tde weather. — October 28, 1 o'clock P. M. 

 It is now n time of general excitement — atten- 

 tion being by each clas.s, since the advent of 

 Elder Kiiapp, turned to the welfiire of his own 

 particular denomination. Coming up from din- 

 ner, we find the vane of the Soiilli rioiij'regation- 

 al (orthodo.x) chinch looks diitcllv soiilh-easl ; 

 but that of the Calvani.slic Bapli>t' (which has 

 ruled the la.st month) was precisely opposite, 

 north-west. The Unitiniaii vane pointed due 

 north, while the Universnlist was plump at south- 

 iccst. The natural elements (with the exception 

 of high wind o!i th<; 13th and a hard rain on the 

 evening of the 25lh) have been very pleasant in 

 October. With the November blasts, shall this 

 capilal of the State witness severe political or 

 religions convulsions and revulsions, for the next 

 thirty days? 



This is the " Ia.«t Friday in the month" — a sure 

 indiciition, as some say, of what the next month 

 is to be. Elder Knapp is gone: will some one 

 of the twenty-one clergymen of all denotnina- 

 tions in Concord tell us what will come. 



We are informed that ."".Ir. Nesmitli's addreea 

 a Franklin before the Agricultural Society was 

 a mo.-l valuable production. In both theory and 

 practice lie is one of the best farmer-s. His ex- 

 periments in the various mineral and vegetable 

 matiiire.s — in ascertaining where lime and ashes, 

 sand and clay, pla.=ter and salt will have the great- 

 est efl>-ct — probably enabled him to give the best 

 instruction on these points. We hope he may 

 not fail lo send us a copy of this address for pub- 

 licaiion. Onr Visitor and Patriot will give it a 

 circulation of nearly eight thousand copies.

 Haines, of New London, sends its a beet of the 



weight of ten pounds and a

Esq. of Hopkinton has preseni-

any tlial ue have ever seen. We judge it to 

 an iiiiproviiiient of the Dutton corn: it is 



elve rou cd and longer eared. Every kind of 



rii may be iiiipioveirby a selection of the best 



d earliest riiiciied cars. 



Some gentleman has left at our counting room 

 a lengtliend ear of the Brown corn. This kind 

 Is by many preferred for its large kernel and for 

 producing ihc greatest quantity of corn on the
