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 and broken, 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. ' THF CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN *— — S ... -'bWk THE MOXIB OF AVCIST. BY H. 0. ADAMS.

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, i Richmond Xelfgioui Herald please copy. “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.
