THE tWEET OLD STOUT.

The day Heabehlnd main shadow.
And only the evening 1* light;

That linger* about the we.t,

When the teara and blood of hl*
anguish . , , .
Dropped down on Judea• sod
For to mellM’aaeveuty milestone*
But a sorrowful Journey mark.
Bough Ilea the hill country behind
The mountains behind me are
dark.
Tell me about the Muter!
Os, the wrong* that he freely for-

Os hl* love that wu mighty to

For my heart is aweary, aweary
Os the woe* and temptation* of
life,
Os the error that ataliu in the noon-
Os labehood and mallee and strife.
Yet 1 know that whatever of sor-
Or*i>aiu or temptation befall.
The infinite master has suffered,
Aud knoweth and pitieth all.
Be tell me the sweet old story.
That fall* on each wound like a
balm, , , .
And the heart that wu bruiaed

Grow* patient and strong and
calm.
Don’t Bathe after
Meals.— All writers on hy
giene very properly dis
countenance bathing after
meals, at least, until the
digestive act is fairly ac
complished. The danger
of disregarding this advice
is illustrated by two nearly
parallel cases, reported by
Dr. Naegli in the Swiss
Medical Journal: A boy
of fourteen ate a hearty
meal and immediately went
into the water. While
swimming he suddenly
gave a cry and sank.
Though quickly raised to
the shore and careful em
ployment of usual resusci-
tative means failed. Antic- -
ipating possible obstruction the wind
pipe was opened and found to contain
some articles of food. Before these
were entirely removed the boy died.
Poit mortem examination revealed par
tial destruction of the stomach, por
tions of which were found in the
trachea and air-tubes. The other case
had a parallel history.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
Never judge by appearances. A seedy
coat may cover a heart in full bloom.
Beautiful are the admonitions of him
whose life accords with his teachings.
He submits himself to be seen through
a microscope who suffers himself to be
caught in a passion.
The mind has more room in it than
one would imagine, if you would furnish
the apartments.
Fortune is like a market, where many
times if you wait a little the price will
fall.
Don’t get soured with the world ; it
does not mend matters with you, but it
makes you very disagreeable to others.
A good temper, like a summer day, is
the sweetener of toil and soother of dis
quietude. It sheds a brightness over
everything.
No man was born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require a tutor, though we
can easily learn to be vicious without a
teacher.
Modesty and humility are the sobriety
of the mind ; temperance and chasticy
are the sobriety of the body.
Our distinctions do not lie in the
places which we occupy, but in the grace
and dignity with whch we fill them.
Conceit is to nature what paint is to
beauty; it is not only needless, but im
pairs what it would improve.
Contentment is a pearl of great price,
and whoever procures it at the expense
of ten thousand desires makes a wise
and happy purchase.
Wise men mingle innocent mirth
with their cares as a help either to for
get or overcome them, out to resort to
intoxication for the ease of one’s wind
is to cure melancoly with madness.
BE FRIENDLY.
The showing one’s friendship implies
a willingness to take trouble, to make
sacrifices, to be obliging and generous for
one’s friends. Singularly enough, there
are many people who do not in the least
object to large displays of friendship,
who on the contrary effloresce at stated
periods in gifts and souvenirs, or who
forget their own ease if one they love is
in great danger, who are yet unfriendly
in the small commerce and ordinary re
lations of life. They are not fond of
visiting, so the friend in the next street
or city never sees them. They dislike
to write letters, so correspondence with
the absent grows feeble and intermittent.
Hospitality burdens them, and they do
not invite guests lest there must be an
extra plate and cup at the table, a little
more than the usual garniture of rooms
and board, and a little fatigue in going
hither and thither for the guest s enter
tainment. Company is troublesome, and
therefore as they go on to middle age,
company seeks them no more. Yet the
same people would watch by the sick
bed night after night, and fly to your as
sistance were the honse on fire.
How often we find persons whose sole
interest in the world centres in their
peculiar environment. They care for
their wives, their children, their little
household circle, and for none besides.
As one by one, change, removal or death
takes their beloved from them, they have
no outer set to fold them closely with
sympathy and kindness. As they have
elected to be solitary, they remain soli
tary. .
To Stbxngthen the Haib.—Dilute an
ounce of borax and an ounce of camphor,
in two quarts of water, and wash the
hair thorougtly twice a week, clipping the
ends cff occasionly. It will quickly grow
long, thick and even.

Brevities. —A drop of oil will make a
wood tick let go his grip.
Kerosine oil rubbed on a stove will
keep it from rusting through the sum
mer.
If your hat is badly sunburned, soak
it in sour milk a few days. That will
bleach it.
The mica windows of a coal-stove
car be easily cleaned with a soft, cloth
dipped in vinegar and water. This may
be done now so they will come out bright
next fall.
To clean black cashmere, wash in hot
suds, with a little borax in the water ;
rince in blueing water, very blue, and
iron while damp. It will look almost
equal to new.
It is a mistake to let tea draw too long.
After it has steeped seven minutes in
boiling water, the virtue of it is all out.
What comes after that is the tannin,
which nobody wants to drink, or ought
to, as it is the same quality that tans
leather. Pour off your tea from the
leaves at the end of this time, if you want
a perfect cup of tea.
Use of Lemons. —For all people, in
sickness or in health, lemonade is a safe
drink. It corrects biliousness. It is a
specifiic against worms and skin com
plaints. The pippins crushed may also
be mixed with water and sugar and used
as a drink. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. It not only
cures the disease, but prevents it.
Sailors make a daily use of it for this pur
pose. A physician suggests rubbing of
the gums daily with lemon juice to keep
them in health. The hands and nails
are also kept clean, white, soft . and sup
ple by the daily use of lemon instead of
soap. It also prevents chilblains.
Lemon used in intermittent fever is
mixed with strong, hot black tea or cof
fee, without sugar. Neuralgia may be
cured by rubbing the part affected with
a lemon. It is valuable, also, to cure
warts, and to destroy dandruff on the
head, by rubbing the roots of the hair
with it. In fact, its uses are manifold,
and the more we employ it externally
the better we shall find ourselves.
Teach Them to be Polite.—Train
your children to be polile at home, and
you will neier have cause to blush at
their rudeness abroad. The rosy-cheeked
boy and girl and the strong and vigorous
young man who sit in their comfortable
seats in crowded cars, while gray-haired
grandfathers and grandmothers tug at
the straps, are poor commentaries on
home training. Nothing is cheaper than
politeness, and nothing pays better. It
should not be taubght became it pays,
but from principle. The young man
who is negligent of his mother and sister
at home, or the sister who is selfish and
unthoughtful, will be no blessing to any
other home into which they are engraft
ed until ‘they unlearn what they have
learned amiss.’ This is often difficult
and annoying, and robs life of its sweet
est hours and richest gifts. Train your
children in politeness and unselfishness
in all little things, and the greater will
come without an effort.— lnter Ocean.
Variety in Meals. —Nothing is more
unsatisfactory than to sit down day after
day to the same bill of fare. There are
houses where the mistress seems to have
uo inventive faculty, acquired or innate.
Breakfast consists from Mondav until
Saturday of the same fried pork and
potatoes, sausages and cakes. Remnants
of things come on again and again, grow
ing small by degrees, till one grows tired
of seeing the dish of apple sauce or the
saucer of prunes, and is tempted to give
them to the dog or pigs. All this can
be remedied by a little plan. Manage
for your own family as if you had guests,
and vary the arrangement of your table
and the articles •of your diet. Health
will be preserved thus and dyspepsia
averted.
Guard Aoaikst Disease—ls you find
yourself getting bilious, head heavy, mouth
foul, eyes yellow, kidneys disordered, symp
toms of piles tormenting you, take at once a
few dotes of Kidney-Wort. It is natures
Sreat assistant. Use it as an advance guard,
on’t wait to get down sick. See large ad
* vertisement.
OBITUARIES.
BUTLER—Died, near Salem, Alabama, July
14th, 1881, Mrs. N. H. Butler, consort of John
Butler, deacon of County Line Baptist church.
Sister Butler was born 7th of May, 1839, and
joined the Baptist church in the sixteenth year
of her age. The endeavored to live the life of a
Christian. She has left to mourn her loss a dis
consolate husband and seven children; buttheir
loss will be her eternal gain. Her disease was
typhoid malarial fever.
May the good Lord give to brother Butler grace
sufficient to withstand this sore affliction, and be
a warning to her children to be also ready when
the Master shall call.
From one who deeply sympathize with the
family. E. W. 8.
Columbus, July 21,1881.
GEIGER—Rev. Aaron Martin Geiger died in
the full triumphs of the Christian faith June 21,
1881. afier a wasting sickness of more than six
months, during which he was confined to his bed
the greater part of the time. Be was born in
1822 and was in his fifty-ninth year.
Brother Geiger was baptized in June, 1846, and
was married to Miss Elizabeth I>. Edwards in
August of the same year. He was ordained to
the gospel ministry by authority of Stafford's
Pond church about 1850, where he was pastor for
some years in Marion county, Florida, but, being
afliicted, he moved to Cedar Key’s for his health
soon after the war. Deprived by weakness of the
lungs frcm pieaching, except occasi' nally, yet
he done much good at Cedar Key’s, fils life was
so pure, and his deep-toned piety so manifest,
that his Influence lor good was great in the com
munity where he lived. He will be so sadly
missed I
May all who feel an interest iu the cause of
Christ and the little Baptist church at Cedar
Key's, pray that the Great Head of the Church
send some one there to fill the great vacancy that
has been made by his removal to his Heavenly
Home. . _
Mav He who said “come unto me and I will
give you rest'' comfort the hearts of the lonely
widow and orphan children, e« He only c n com
fort. G. W. Hall, Pastor.
GLOVER—The relatives and friends of Mrs.
Cleopatra V. Glover, wife of Col. John T. Glover,
Twiggs county, Georgia, will receive with sorrow
the annountemenl that the died,at her home
April 27th, 1881.
She was born January Sth, 1841. She was bap
tized by Rev. J. H. Corley into the Baptlstchurch
at Dawson, Georgia She afterwards, with her
husband, united with the Richland Baptist
church, Twiggs county, Georgia.
She was a devoted, working, growing Christian.
Her first object was to glorifj her Goa in all the
relations she sustained in life. Any sacrifice
which the interests of religion, the proper train
lug of her children, end the usefulness and hap
piness of her husband demanded, she faltered
not in making. Hence, when no man would take
the position of Sunday-school superintendent in
her community, she virtually filled the position
for nearly a year.
In her life she was beautiful and lovely: in
her death she was resigned, trusting and hopeful,
leaving the evidence behind, as a rich legacy to
her sorrowing friends, that Jesus is not only able
and willing to save, but was her personal Savior.
G. R. McCall.
TURPIN—Died, in Augusta, Georgia, of ty
phoid pneumonia, Jackson Frasei Turpin, in the
seventy second year of his age.
He was born in Richmond, Va.. October26th,
1809, and lived many years in the city of Augusta,
highlv honored and re pected by all who knew
him.’He was remaikable for his gentleness of
manner and rectitude in the business transac
tions of life. The depth of his love foi his family
they best appreciate; his loss to them is impara
ble. Humble and unpietendlng his life gave
true evidence of what Christianity was; patient
and uncompla'ning his was the bright example
others might imitate.
In his last hours he said, “I want to go home
and be with Christ,” fully illustrating that his
earthly home was but temporary, and that be
yond the skies a forgiving Savior awaited his
coming. . M.T,

“Asleep in Jesus.”
I have been a subscriber and reader of The I n
dex some forty years, and have never troubled
you with a line before, but now my heart is bur
dened and I want to tell you the cause. I feel
that it will be some relief to me.
Last October my wife’s mother died after a lin
gering and painful spell of sickness. My wife was
to see her often. I asked her if she talked to her
mother of dying and of Jesus. She said: "Yes,
much; and mother says ail her trust is in Jesus ”
On the first dav of this month my own dear
wife died after a lingering and. painlul spell of
sickness For twelve hours before her death she
did not talk any, but retained her mind—seemed
conscious of what was passing. About a half
hour before her death I asked her: "Wife, do
you love your Savior ?” “Certainly Ido love my
Savior," was her reply, plain and distinct, after
having lam twelve or more hours without speak
ing. MB
0, brethien, how happy her answer made me;
my heart was made glao. 0 Jesus, if this is a
delusion, I bug the delusion to my breast and
thank God for it.
My wife was fifty-nine years eight and a half
months old, and had been a Baptist about forty
one years, and was reared up here at China
Grove, Alabama. Levi Freeman.
