For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil, For freeness from dust and slowness to soil, And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed, And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.

Of all imitations ’tis well to beware; The half risen sun every package should bear; For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use, And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER!

——— (O) ———

There are a number of persons out of employment in every county—yet energetic men willing to work do not need to be. Those willing to work can make from $100 to $500 a month clear, working for us in a pleasant and permanent business. The amount our agents make varies—some making as high as $500 a month, while others as low as $100, all depending on the energy of the agent. We have an article of great merit. It should be sold to every house-owner, and pays over 100 per cent. profit Each sale is from $3.50 to $10.00. One agent in Pennsylvania sold 32 in two days, and cleared $64. An agent in New York made $45 in one day. Any man with energy enough to work a full day, and will do this during the year, can make from $2,000 to $6,000 a year. We only want one man in each county, and to him will give the exclusive sale as long as he continues to work faithfully for us. There is no competition, and nothing like our invention made. Parties having from $200 to $1,000 to invest can obtain a General Agency for ten counties or a state. Any one can make an investment of from $25 to $1,000 without the least risk of loss, as our circulars will show that those investing $25 can, after a 30 days’ trial, return the goods unsold to us and get their money back, if they do not clear at least $100. They show that a General Agent who will take ten counties and invest $216 can, after a trial of 90 days, return all goods unsold to us, and have money returned to them if they fail to clear at least $750 in that time. We are not paying salaries, but want men willing to work and obtain as their pay the profits of their energy. Men not willing to work on our terms will not work on any. _Those meaning business_ will receive our large descriptive circular, and extraordinary offer by enclosing a three-cent stamp, with their address. The first to comply with our terms will secure the county or counties they may wish to work. Address, RENNER MANUFACTURING CO.,

118 Smithfield Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

* * * * *

AIM AND WORK.

To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted CHINESE in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy toward the INDIANS. It has also a mission in AFRICA.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and _larger_ contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the strong.

2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to accommodate the increasing numbers of students; MEETING HOUSES for the new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and pious, for these churches.

3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.

Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A. office as directed on second page cover.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

We are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on a paying basis. We intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:

1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend to whom we may send a second copy.

2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).

3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a periodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our friends aid us to make this plan a success?

We nevertheless renew the offer hitherto made, that the MISSIONARY will be sent gratuitously, if desired, to the Missionaries of the Association; to Life Members; to all Clergymen who take up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of Sabbath-schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries; to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does not prefer to take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year not less than five dollars.

Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York, N.Y.
