To keen you close to hla feet: For ’ll* alwaya so easy to wander When our live* are glad and sweet.

The established religion of the Empire is the Russo-Greek church, officially called the Orthodox Catholic Faith. The vari ous faiths are estimated thus: Orthodox Catholic, about 60,000,000; Roman Cath olic, about 7,500,000 ; Protestants, about 2,800,000; Jews, about 2,600,000; Ma hometans, etc., etc., abont 7,500,000. European Russia consists of an im mense plain; throughout its vast extent it does not contain a single mountain. Its principal rivers are the Voigt, Ural, Dnieper, Dneister, Don, Dwina, Duna and Neva. The Volga is the largest river in Europe, and is navigable almost to its source. In Siberia, tne Ob, Yenisei, l>ena and Amur, are each larger than the Volga, with many important tributaries, ana the surface is mountainous, rising in many places far above the limit of per petual snow. , A great portion of Russian territory is totally unfit for cultivation. In the north the barren tundras are almost con stantly frozen, producing only moss. Finland is covered with lakes, inter spersed with rocks and sandhills ; and in the south, round the head of the Caspian Bea, is an immense sandy desert steppe; whilst all the interior provinces, and nearly the whole of Siberia, are clothed with forests. The country between the Baltic and Black Seas, however, is emi nently fertile, producing abundance of grain. The chief cereals raised are wheat, barley, oats, buckwheat, millet, and es pecially rye, the staple food of the in habitants. Hemp and flax are exten sively cultivated and, of late years, pota toes and tobacco. The forests and woodlands of European Russia are extensive, occupying an area of 500,000.0000 acres. Oak, lime, maple and ash trees predominate. The Ural mountains, forming the boundary be tween Europe and Asia—which contain nearly all the mineral riches of the coun try—are the principal seat of mining and metallic industry, producing gold, plati num, copper, iron of a very superior quality, rock salt, marble, kaolin, china clay. Silver, gold and lead are also ob tained in large quantities from the mines in the Altai mountains. An immense bed of coal has been discovered near Kbarkoff, in the basin of the Donetz. With metallurgical and engineering fac tories, Russia possesses many extensive manufacturing establishments for weav ing, tanning, fur-dressing, etc., etc. Lin en is largely manufactured by hand looms; the chief operations consisting in spinning and weaving flax and hemp. Woolen and worsted stuffs, fine cloths and mixed fabrics, are also produced. The chief exports of Russia are grain, timber, hides and skins, raw and dressed flax, hemp, tallow, wool, linseed and hempseed. The chief imports are sugar, coffee, tea, and colonial produce, woolens, cotton and cotton cloths, silk, dye-stuffs, wine, fruite and machines. The nominal strength of the Russian army, re-organized since the Turkish war, is about 2,300,000 men on tbe war footing, and 780,081 on tbe peace footing. The navy consists of the Baltic fleet, that of the Black Sea, and of flotillas on the Aral and Caspian Seas, and in Siberia; comprising abont 389 steam vessels, of which 29 are iron-clads, with an arma ment of 836 guns. Os railways, there were open, on the first of January, 1880,14,473 miles. There are 3.578 post-offices, carrying in 1880, 92,692,540 letters. Os telegraphs, there are 2,362 offices, with 68,000 miles of Wire. Russia is very deeply in debt, bnt the precise amount is unknown. The inter est-bearing portion is about $2,082,500,- 000. In the Budget for 1880, $107,750,- 000 is set down for tbe interest. Budget 1880, $642,270,000. Total exports, 1880, $606,000,000.

Mrs. M. , a lady of more than ord- inary intelligence, livid many years ago in Petersburg, Virginia. She was a mar ried woman and tbe mother of]fuur child ren at the time of the occurance of the incident which I not'relate. The writer received the story from her own lips be fore she was called away from earth. She died at an advanced age, having adorned her Christian profession by a life of ex emplary piety. Martha, her eldest child, was a beauti ful girl, at the time referred to being about fourteen years of age. She wan her mother’s idol, though het mother was unconscious of the fact. Handsome in person, sweet in disposition, gentle in her manners, and withal devotedly at tached to her mother, she occupied a su preme place in her affections. Just ss she was verging on womanhood she was taken ill, ami gradually grew from bad to worse. The most assiduous care in the way of nursing and the most constant attention of the skillful physician failed to arrest the disease. The mother was frantic in her grief as it became apparent that Martha must die. Amid all, tbe sweet girl wascalm, patient and resigned. At last the death angel came and releas ed the wan and wasted euflerer from the grrsp of disease. The mother was positively inconsol able. Nothing could allay the bitter an guish of her broken heart. She lost her appetite, refused to take her food, sleep deserted her pillow, and gradually she wasted away almost to a skeleton. She wept until she had no more tears to weep. Her friends exhausted every de vice to divert her mind from the painful subject. Her pastor prayed, counselled, and admonished 1h vain. It seemed she must wast away and die. In this state of mind, late one night, she fell asleep, with a few stray tear drops on her shrivelled cheek. Her sleep was fitful for a while, aud then she fell into a profound slumber, and sleeping she dreamed. Suddenly, as she related the ( vision to me, a bright and beautiful angel, clothed in tbe habiliments of light, appeared to her, and, in a sweet and win ning voice tenderly asked: “ Would you see Martha?” Instantly she responded, “Yes; above all things in the universe I would see her.” “Then follow me,’’ said the heavenly visitant. She arose and followed her guide with out a word of further inquiry. Presently a stately and magnificent edifice greeted her wondering and half-bewildered gaze. The door of entrance was open. She as cended the steps and entered the resound ing hall, following closely behind the an gel, not knowing whither he would lead her. Without even casting a glance be hind, or saying a word, suddenly the an gel paused and with his ethereal finger touched a secret spring. Noiselessly a door swung wide open and revealed the inmates to her astonished gaze. There was a throng of excited revellers in the midst of bachanalian excesses, flushed with wine, and presenting a revolting ecene of debauchery and wordly dissip ation. The angel pointed his white in dex finger at the most conspicuous figure in the group, the one who led the dance and was most boisterous in the mirth and festive glee, and then turning bis eye on the mother, said, “There is Martha, behold her.’’ The mother passionately exclaimed, “No, no! that is not Martha. I was raising her for God, and for his church, I and for Heaven. That is not Martha.’’ “So you thought,” responded the an gel in tenderest accents; “but she was your idol. You could’deny her nothing. That is what she would have been.” The door closed. “Follow me,” said the angel. She followed with a palpitating heart. Her mind was filled with anxious anil ' painful thought. The angel paused again, touched a secret spring, and the door flew open as if on golden hinges. Before her enraptured eyes there was displayed a vast multitude 01 the most resplendent forms she had ever conceived of in human mould. Brows of lustrous beauty, faces radiant with supernal light, voices’ sweetly modulated, and all en robed in spotless white. Not a trace of sorrow was on any face. It was Heaven, and the angel pointing to the brightest and most beautiful of the joyous and happy throng, said, turning his glad eye on tlie mother, “There is Martha, as she is.’’ The dreamer awoke, but awoke from j that dream in unutterable ecstasy—she awoke praising God And in relating this dream she said to the writer, “Dream though it was, to me it was an apoca lypse. I brushed away my tears. My heart was relieved of its sorrow, and I now believe, and I have long believed, that Martha’s death was best for her and best for her mother.” Worms in Flower Pots.—A corres pondent of The London Gardener's Chron tele says that grated horse chestnuts mix ed with ten times the bulk of water will expel worms from the soil in pots. I have tried the experiment lately with perfect success on about a dozen pots, large and small. The effect is surprising, and I may say pleasing. The large worms rush out’almost immediately, the small and more weakly slowly and in a fainting condition, if I may so term it. If left in a saucer with the' liquid the worms die outright in a short time. I trust, how ever, the plants will not suffer by it In any way. ‘‘Now, I do most unhesitatingly aver, as an old practitioner, that Warner s Safe Kid ney and Liver Cure is among the most val uable discoveries of the 19th century. I can not aay too much in its behalf. Pittsburg, Pa„ 6th April, 1880.” [Signed] J. H. CONNELL, M. D. Dr. Richard Holland, of Butler county, Mo„ writes: “I have been practicing medi cine over twenty years, and I must say I never used anything in my practice equal to Dr. Harter’s Fever and Ague Specific, I fully endorse it, and say to the public, that as a ‘Specific’ for Fever and Ague, it has no equal.” < Made from harmless materials, and adap ted to the needs of fading and falling hair, Parker’s Hair Balsam has taken the first rank as an elegant and reliable hair restora tive. mar3l-lm. OBITUARIES. Among the good who fell victims to pneu monia during the severe winter, through which we have just passed, was brother N. C. Hughes, of Wilkinson county, U», On the 14th of January, after a brief illness, he passed away in the blessed hope of a bright Immortality Born in this county in 1815 he had spent hl* life amoug the trie nds of bls childhood, and those who had known nlm longest, loved him best. He was baptized by He v. G H Hughes In 18M, and waa a member of Bethel church at the time of bis death. Brot hen Hughes possessed some trait* of char acter, which were so well developed as to win the esteem of his brethren, and tbe confl dende of all- His firmness, clothed In mark ed humility, won a place In the hearts of bls brethren, which he never seemed to realize. He was among that number who ever act right, because ‘lt is right without j* gard to immediate or remote conse quences. His communication was yea, yea, and nay, nay, a style which always marks the true man, and is-highly character istic of the faithful Christian. These virtues not only adorned bis Chr.silan character,and filled the heart ol every Christian, who knew him. but they stamped him as a man of ster ling woi th—made him the center of a large circle ofenthuslssrio friends, who conferred upon him, unsolicited, the highest civic hon ors ol the county, by electing him, without opposition, to a seat In the Legislature lu 1876. Il was a pleasure to visit him In his home, surrounded by a devoted family, and there witness tbe confidence betreen parent and children. These relations are too sa cred to Invade, a link In tbe chain nas been broken, to be reunited again on that blissful shore. “1 have seen the wicked in great 1 power, and spreading himself like a green ; bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, io, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not ' be found. Mark the perfect man. and behold I the upright; lor the end of that man Is peace.” E. J. C. : —.s ■ ■■ ■ Whereas, it has pleased God to remove by death from our midst, three of the members of Fellowship Baptist church,Bulloch county, Ga.brother Elbert Lee,sister AltossaConeand sister Ella Cone. Resolved, that while our hearts are filled with sorrow at the loss of Our brother and sistersand while their places are vacant at the sanctuary, nevertheless, we bow with submission to the will of Divine Providence, realizing that our loss has been their eternal gain, ihat their labors have all ended, and that they are now enjoying the “rest that re mains for the people 01 God.” Resolved, That we tender to each one of the families our Christian sympathy and prayers in their sad bereavement Resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Index and BieusTfor publication, and that a blank pag3 of our church book be inscribed to the memory of each one of them.

Burdaehaw Resolutions of Siloam Baptist church Sab bath school, Lincolnton, Ga., March 6,1881, For the first time since the organization of Siloam Sabbath school, death has Invaded our ranks, and shrouded our hearts in sor row. One of our associates has been called from the Sabbath school on earth io unite her voice wi' h heaven’s angelic choir in their unceasing chorus of praise. Miss Mary Catharine Burdashaw was born August 9tb 1866. and departed this life Janu ary 18th 1881, aged fourteen years, five mouths and four days. In August, 1877, she united with Republican (Methodist) church, under the pastorate of Rev. L P. 11. Elwell—adorn ing her profession with a well-ordered and exemplary life, she pursued the even tenor of her Christian course-filling commendably and faithfully her allotted sphere in life—at tending the services olthe sanctuary aud the Sabbatn school, in both of which she took delight—and contributing to the comfort and solace of her aged parents in the many ways devised by filial love and gratitude. We, her associates here, were, doubtless, dear to her, as she was to us, but how mnch dearer to her are the angelic hosts, with whom she is now ministering before tne Great Superintendent in the Sabbath service which will never end. In sorrow, yet with this abiding hope and trust, we place upon earthly reooid this hum ble tribute of our esteem and affection. Be it, therefore, Resloved, 1. That In the death of our asso ciate, Miss Mary C. Burdasbaw, our school has lost a worthy and highly valued mem ber. Resolved, 2. That In commemoration of hermany virtues, and as a testimonial of our appreciation of of ber gentleness of character, aud the many evidence* displayed by her ol her fi Hal love and regard, we take a mournful pleasure in contributing this, our choicest garland of fragrant flowers—tbe esteem, love and affection of warm and sorrowing hearts, now beating Insjmpathetlc accord with ber aged bereaved parents. Resolved.B. That this token bespread upon minutes, a copy be forwarded to Mr. and Mrs. Burdasbaw. and copies be forwarded to the Christian Isdxx and Christian Ailrocate with request to publish.
