Alaa, the brightest gem Os the fair diadem. May not endure. But lade* to shine again In heavenly bowers. 80, from our pathway, where the violets grew, One sweet and modest flower Faded within an hour, From our rapt sight. Yet loving mem’riea trace O’er all the vacant place, Each clear delight, Which in that pure and beauteous life we knew. And thus we keep the blossom still our own ; Seeing with joyous faith What glorious life it hath Beyond our ken: Fairer that lily's crest, Or violet’s stai ry breast, Mid living green , It blooms In fadeless beauty near the throne. O not in vain love's tender flowers do grow, Though brief their lives must be, If, through Death's mystery They fix our vezo On those fair fields of light, Where falls no chilling blight Through endless days; And flowers immortal ever bud and blow. Here, thorns may grow among our fairest leaves; Our gentlest care may bring Some sudden, cruel sting Back to the heart. In He. veu’s bright garden lies No pain of sad surprise, No venomed dart Nor blighted bud or leaf the spirit grieves. HOME SIHS. Os all the spots on the Christian char acter, the most obvious is temper. Each individual Christian is, we trust, endeav oring to perform carefully and faithfully his or her work in the world around for the Lord; each and all, we hope, desire to be like Moses, faithful stewards of the home charge, but they fail sooner in the latter than in the former; there are more difficulties in shining for Jesus at home than in the world outside our home. One great hindrance to a home shining is a home sin. We may call some sins distinctly home sins, because they are never exhibited, perhaps never even guessed at, outside our own circle. And again, I repeat, the most terrible of all home sins is lemper. Too often we find Christians all graciousness and sweet ness in society, appearing (as Rowland Hill puts it) to be engrafted upon crab trees in their own houses. The most visible aspects of this sin violent outbursts, sullen fits, and angry remonstrances —are so odious in them selves that a Christian possesstd of such an evil sMrit is generally on his guard, and walMes and mourns because of it. But are various lesser d- grees to the Lord Jesus, permitted, and yetcon- BtantlJHßy the fair page of Christian testimony. The want of gentleness in tone and look, the implied sneer, the discourteous retort, the undue regard to our own dignity when effended., the maintenance of our own opinions simply because they are our own, and in spite of the irritation we know they will cause, the painful allusion or ill-timed jest, are all fruits of the crab-tree. Finding One’s Place.—A good many people spend all their life hunting for the place in this world which they were Intended to fill. They never settle down to anything with any sort of rest ful or contented feeling. What they are doing now is not by any means the work that is suited to their abilities. They have a sunny idea of a very noble life which they would like to reach, in which their powers would find free scope, and where they could make a very bright subject. But in their present position they cannot be much of anything and there is little use to try. Their life is a humdrum and prosy routine, and they can accomplish nothing really worthy and beautiful. So they go on discon tented with their own lot and sighing for another; and while they sigh the years glide away, and soon they will come to an end, to find they have missed every opportunity of doing anything worthy of an immortal being in the passage to eternity. The truth >e, one’s vocation is never some far-off possibility. It is al ways the simple round of duties that the passing hour brings. No day is common place if we only had eyes to see its splen dor. There is no duty that comes to our hand but that brings to us the possibility of kingly service.— B. 8. Times. Going to Church.—“ I have to go to church every Sunday to keep my Chris tian life just passable,” said a very ear nest believer. “ Wiien I omit public worship I feel that my standard of living is lowered.” We never go beyond our ideals. We need to be kept constantly atourbeetto maintain a high standard. It is said that the secret of Jenny Lind’s success was that she tried to excel on every occasion. When asked once why she sung her most finished pieces befo-e an audience at the South, mostly of col ored people, she replied: •*I value my art much too highly to de grade it even occasionally by any wilful disregard of what I consider due to it.” Without action we grow stagnant or retrograde in things pertaining to morals as in mental acquirements. It is ea-y to say we can worship God by reading a good sermon at home. The cares of the household often crowd out the book we meant to read. The spirit of worship promoted by the sanctuary, the rest that the house of God giv« s, the taking of ti e mind from every day duties and sur roundings, the inspiration to better liv ing', the influence upon others in keep ing the day sacred, all make churcn go ing a necessity to those who would keep their Chrisiian hope and life in a condi tion that shall be a joy to themselv< s and inspiration to other'.—Congregation •'tst, Happiness is like manna. It is to be gathered in the grains and enjoyed every day ;it will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor need we go out of ourselves nor into remote places to gath er it, since it has rained down from heav en, at our very doors, or rather within them. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1881. How a Liitle Girl Utilized a Tele phone.—A mother living not very far from the Post Office in this city, tired with watching over a sick baby, came down staira for a moment the. other day for a few seconds’ rest. She heard the voice of her little girl in the hall by her self, and, curious to know to whom she was talking, stopped a moment at the half-open door. She saw that the little thing had pulled a chair up in front of the telephone, and stood upon it, with the piece pressed against the side of her bead. The earnestness of the child showed that she was in no playful mood, and this was the conversation the moth er-heard while the tears stood thick in her eyes, the little one carrying on both sides as if she were repeating the answers: -Hello!” “ Well, who’s there ? ” “Is God there?” “ Yes.” “ Is Jesus there?” “ Ye-.’’ “ Tell Jesus I want to speak to him.” “ Well.” “ Is that you, Jesus ? ” “Yes. What is it?” “ Our baby is sick, and we want you to let it get well. W on’t you, now ?” No answer, and statement and qnes tion again repeated, finally answered by a “ Yes.” The little one put the ear piece back on its hook, clambered down from her chair and with a radient face went to her mother, who caught her in her arms. The baby whose life had been despair ed of began to mend that day and got well. — Elmira Free Frese. Carb of the House.—A friend who has several small and careless children who continually scatter various articles about her sitting room, keeps her bouse in order by “ picking up all the time.” After several days spent in her home I saw that she really did this, but so def ly and easy that 1 did not at first observe it. The table-cover was straightened as she passed it for her thimble, the baby’s toys were put in order as she stooped to pat him, and the disarranged ornaments of the mantle found their proper place by a move or two of her band. I find that this constant care is the foundation of good housekeeping. George Eliot, whose views on some points were a good deal unsettled, yet struck a vein of good sense when she said, “It is better to know how to make home happy to your husband than to read Greek to him; and even music and singing, though very attractive to family visitors, cease to be a substitute for the commoner virtues after a time. Good cookery is a most valuable accomplishment in a wife’sedu cation after the first delusion of the honey moon is over.” • Published by request ] THE Plt'KlT GVJtD. All quiet "long the Potomac, they say, Except here and there a stray picket la shot, as be walks on bis beat to and fro, By a rifleman hid in the thicket. 'Tie nothing, a private or two now and then Will not “ount in the news of a battle. Not an officer lost, only one of the men Moaning out all alone the death rattle. All quiet along the Potomac to night, Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming; Their tenta in the rajsof theelear autumn moon, Or in the lights of their camp flrei gleaming; A tremulous sigh, as a gentle night wind, Through the forest leaves softly is creeping. While the stars up above, with their glittering eyes, Keep guard o’er the army while sleeping. There’s only the sound of the lone sentry’s tread. As he tramps from the rocks to the fountain, And thinks of the two on the low trundle-bed, Far away In the cot on the mountain. His musket falls slack, and his face, dark and grim, Grows gentle with memories tender. As he mutters a prayer for the children asleep; For their moiher,—may heaven defend her! The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,— That night when the love yet unspoken Leaped up to his lijs, and when low murmured vows Were pledged to beever unbroken. Then • rawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes He dashes off tears- that are welling, And gathers his gun close up to Its place, As if to keep down the heart swelling. He passes the fountain, the blasted pine-tree; The footsteps are larging and weary; Yet onward they go, through the broad belt of light, Toward the shade of the forest so dreary. Hark! was it the night wind rustling the leaves ? Was it moonlight so wondrous y flashing 1 It looked like a rifle 1 " Ha ! Mary, good by.” And the life-blood is cubing and splashing. All quiet along the Potomac to-night, No sound save the rush of the river; Whilst soft falls the dew on the faceof the dead, — The picket’s off duly, forever! TV icked Fob Clergymen —Rev.—.Wash ington, D- C-, writes: "I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testi monials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritorious article, made of valuable remedies known to all, that ail physicians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend Hopßitters for the good they have done me and my friends firmly believing they have no equal for family use. I will not be without them.” —New York Baptist Weekly. Useful Maxims.—Never stop to tell stories in business hours. If you have a place of business be found there when wanted. No naan can get rich sitting around stores and saloons. Never “ fool ’’ in business matters. Have order, regularity, and also promtpness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing about. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Help others when you can, but never give when you connot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. Learn to say no. No necessity of snap ping it out dog fashion, hut say it firmly and respectfully. Use your own brains rather than those of others. Learn to think and act for yourself. "My tormented back,’’ is the exclamation of more than one poor hard working man and woman. Do you know why it aches? It is because your kidneys are over-tasked and need strengthening, and your system needs to be cleansed of bad humors. Kidney- Wort is the medicine you need. "It acis i like a charm,” says a well known physi cian, "I never knew it to fail.” Liquid or Dry sold by Druggists.—Boston Post.

Nearly seventy years of age, fifty two y»ars of hsppy, loving companion ship with her affectionate husband, who is left to weep over his great loss; forty six years a faithful member of the church, and a trusting follower of Chrbt; a devoted wife, aself-denylua, patient and loving mother and grandmother, a kind and helpful neighbor.

Her convictions seemed unusually stiong ana her hopes uuc«<mmoniv bright—for one who had neg ected that first act of obedience that belong eth to the believer —public and symbolic pro fession of the name of the Redeemer. The ire quency and calmness with which she spoke 01 death, the familiarity with which she spoke oi heaven and eternity, the tenderness with which she prayed with and counselled her daughier. who constantly and patiently waited beside her. left strong hopes that her feet have bt en set upoj> the shining faille, and that her home is with God The i.ight before her departu>e, being asked what she wanted, she calmly replied, ‘’°nly to die and go home.’’ Often did she pray and beg others to pray God to save her loved ones, whom she leaves behind May the God of heaven bear the prayers of that mother who e lips are now turned to ashes.

It becomes our duty to pen some lines in memoriam. and we have no words with which we can express our sorrow at having been de prived of such ah estimable Christian lady. She was one of thoae characters in which the graces were all highly cultivated—aflable kind and as feclionate. She seemed to have attained in the highest possible degree Faith, Hope and Charity. A» a wife she lived with her companion over forty eight years, and during that time their peace was not marred by an unkind word ; as a minister’s wde was willing to bear fatigue and loneliness in order that tne gospel of the Lord Jesus might be advanced, in fine she hath done what she could, and words are inadequate to the ta>k of telling her viitues. She lived the gospel. As a neighbor her kindness was inces sant, and her hands were open to the poor. All were her friends and none her enemies. But notwithstanding her usefulness it has pleaded our heavenly F atber to call her up higher (out of this world, where ibe wa> a great sufferer) up to Himself, and now to her ‘frith has cnang ed to sight and prayer to praise.” We the church at Salem do bow to the will of God in His pro vidence, lor though we have a vacant seat, and a new made mound, our faith’s eye can find ioy in looking to the happy reunion above, and we amici pate tbe joys of Heaven- Resolved, 1. That we have lost, and neavui has gained a rich treasure. Resolved, 2. That the community has lost a good woman, whose loss we can but mourn. Resolved, 3. That we will try to so profit by her example that we niavbe made her companions in rest and joy. Resofftti.i 4. That we express our sympathy for our dear) aged brother, who is so sadly berea ed.

The many friends and associales of long ago of Elder H. Z. Ardia will be pained to hear of his death. But he died with his armor on, and as a shock of wheat, ripe for the garner. The health of brother Ardis bud been failing for several months, so that he could not preach, but be took an agency for the sale ol Bibles and other good books, and was some twenty miles from home at the lime of his death On Tuesday evening last, just before night, he arrived at the house of a Christian brother, appa rently in his late accustomed health. He spent the night, had a slight attack of difficulty of breathingin the night, but got up as well as usual next morning. Alter breakfast he started to Mt. Lebanon, about ten mi.es distent. The brother with whom he had spent the night, thought best to go with him. They had gone about a mile, when be complained and had to get down and rest. He insisted on going on. but had not gone far before he found that he could not make the trip, ana with dlfßculty got back to the house from which he starteu. He was assisted off of his horse and placed on a mattress iu the gallery of the house, and died in five minutes. He was able to speak a moment before he oied, giving evi dence of consciousness and a willingness to go. He died with a sweet smile on his countenance, wjilch could still be seen when the writer reached there, over an hour after his death. Brother Ardis was born on Beech Island, S. C., Auguat Bth, 1811, wasm-rried to Miss Anna W. Biggs,December 25th J 832. This wife diedin Florida, October 16th, 1870. Four daughters, two married and two single, the issue of this marriage still survive Brother Ardis moved to Louisiana in October, 1871, and on the Ist of May following married sister Elizabeth Cooksey, who is living to mourn her great loss. He was raised by Presbyterian parents, and united with that church at an early age. Early in the year 1831 he united with the Baptist church, and iu the year 1836, al the call of Union chinch, Barnwell District. 8. C., he was ordained by a presbytery consisting of Elders Iverson Brooks, John Broome and Samuel Gibson. His health failing in Georgia he moved to Florida and served the M*oi>on church about twenty-five years as pastor. He has at different times, served some seven chuiches in Louisiana as pastor, and never was a minister more beloved by his brethren, or more revered by the com munity at large. He was not a great, but a good, evangelical, gospel preacher. As a religious conversational ist, 1 have rarely seen him equaled, never sur passed. He loved the Savior he served with all the ardor of his large heart. I would commend the bereaved widow and his g- dly daughters to the sympathy and prayers of his brethren, who knew and loved h m.
