H«« yonr pathway been darkened, my brot her ?
la tne radiant aunlight of Joy
Bo ecllpaed by the shadow. that gather.
That life tteems a bitter alloy?
Be patient! One smile of the Master
Will drive all those shadows away ;
When be « elcomea you home lu the morning
Os eternity's beaulltul day.
Has your pathway been darkened, my brother ?
Has hope risen cloudleu and bright,
And. Just as it promised fruition.
Gone out in adversity's night ?
Be patient. Remember misfortune,
If hallowed by heaven-born love,
Is purchasing richesand hono..
In the home of the spirit above.
Has your pathway been darkened, my brother ?
Has pitiless, painful disease
Divested your earthly existence

Be patient. The time is approaching,
You know not how soon it will be,
When a City where pain c > nnot enter,
Shall open its gateway for thee.
Has your pathway been darkened, my brother?
Has the angel of sorrow drawn near,
And taken, lu spite of your pleading,
Some treasure, your heart knows how dear?
Be patient. Look up; and your darling,
From a beautiful home in the skies,
Will tell of a Comforter, Jesus,
Who'll wipe all the tears from your eyes.
Then try to be patient, my brother,
Whenever life s pathway sh ill lead
Through thickets of brier.- and nettles,
Instead of the rose covered mead'
Remember, Us course was determined
By Jous, your Savior and Friend ;
And leads to the purest enj ivment
Os pleasure that never shall end.

“DUST ON YOUR GLAS'ES.”
I don’t often put on my glasses to ex
amine Katy’s wuik, but oue morning,
not long bince, I did so upon entering a
room she had been sweeping.
•• Did you forget to open the windows
when you swept Katy 1 ” I inquired ;
“this room is very dusty.’’
“ I think there is dust on your eye
glasses ma’am,” she said modestly.
And sure enough the eve glasses were
at fault, and not Katy. I rubbed them
off, and everything looked bright and
clean, the carpet like new, and Katy’s
face said;
“ I am glad it was the glasses, and not
me, this time.”
This has taught me a good lesson, I
said to myself upon leaving the room,
and one I shall remember through life.
Jn the evening Katy came to me with
some kitchen trouble. The cook had
done so and so and she had said so and
so. When her story was finished, I said,
smilingly:
“ There is dust on yonr glasses, Katy;
rub them off, you will see better.”
She understood me and left the room.
1 told the incident to the children, and
It is quite common to hear them say
to each other:
“0, there la dust on your glasses.’
Sometimes I am referred to:
“ Mamtn', Harry has dust on his glas
ses, can’t he rub it off ? ”
When I hear a person criticising an
other, condemning, perhaps, a course of
action he knows nothing about, drawing
inferences prejudicial to the person or
persons, I think right away, “There’s
dust on your glasses ; rub it ofi.” The
truth is, ivjrybody wears these very
same glasses, only the dust is a little
thicker on some than on others, and
needs a little harder rubbing to get it off.
I said this to John one day, some little
matter coming up that called forth the
remark: ‘ There are some persons I wish
would begin to rub, then,” said he.
“There is Mr. So and-80, and Mrs. So
and So; they are always ready to pick
at some one, to slur, to hint —I don’t
know, I don’t like them.”
“I think my son John has a wee bit
on his glasses just now.”
He laughed and asked :
“What is a body to do ? ”
"Keep your own well rubbed up, and
you will not know whether others need
it or not.”
"I will,” he replied.
I think as a family, we are all profit
ing by that little incident, and through
life will never forget tlie meaning of
“ There is dust on your glasses.”— Ob

A Child’s Idea of Baptism.—Chil
dred sometimes have a very original
way of saying things. There is an
occasional terseness and pith in their
very simplicity that beats the most
studied form in which grown up peo
ple can express a thought. We remem
ber, something over thirty years ago, a
little incident occurred in the town in
which we then resided, worth relating.
On one occasion, we had some candi
dates to baptize, and we lived near a
very worthy Methodist family in which
there was a very sprightly little girl of
about eight years of age, who was all
aglow with excitement to see the or
dinance pei formed, as she had never
seen the like before. Her parents con
cluded to gratify her, and at the time
appointed, parents and child were at
the water’s side. The little girl was
very profoundly impressed with the
service, so much so that she could talk
of nothing else all the evening after
ward. Her mamma told her that they
(the Methodists) would have baptizing
at their church the next Sunday. This
served to divert her mind from what
she had seen to something of the kind
she could see at the Methodist church.
When the day came, some children
were brought before the pulpit, the
preacher descended with his Jordan
(pitcher) in hand, gently dipped his
fingers in the water and placed them
on the foreheads of the children, pro
nouncing the baptismal ceremony.
The whole thing fell so far short of
what the little girl expected, that on
going home she said to her ma, with
sad disappointment, “Ma,l thoughtyou
said there was going to be baptizing at
our church to-day.” “There was my
child; didn’t you see our preacher bap
tize those children?” “0, ma, he didn’t
baptize them much!" So thought oth
ers, besides the little girl.
Household Hints. - Dishes should al
ways be rinsed in clear, hot water after
having been washed in soapsuds.
To remove grease from wall paper,
lay several folds of blotting paper on
the spot, and hold a hot iron near it till
the grease is absorbed.

DISAGREEABLE HABITS.
Nearly all the disagreeble habits which
people take up, come at first from mere
accident, or want of thought. They
might easily be dropped, but they are
persisted in until they become second
nature. Stop and think before you allow
yourself to form them. They are dis
agreeable habits of body, like scowling,
winking, twisting the mouth, biting the
nails, continually picking at something;
twirling a key or fumbling a chain, drum
ming with the fingers, screwing or twist
ing a chair or whatever you lay your
hands on. Don’t do any of these things.
Learn to sit quietly like a gentleman, I
was going to say, but I am afraid even
girls fall into'such tricks sometimes.
There are much worse habits than these,
to be sure ; but we are speaking only of
these little things that are only annoying
when they are persisted in. There .ire
habits of speech also, such as beginning
every speech with “ you see," or “ you
know,” “ now a,” “I don’t care,” “tell ye
what," “tell ye now -/’indistinct utteran
ces, sharp, nasal tones; avoid th m al).
Stop and think what you are going to say,
and then let every word drop from your
lips just as perfect as a new silver coin.
Have a care about your way of sitting
and standing and walking. Before you
know it you will find that your habits
Have hardened into a coat of mail that,
you Cftunot get rid of without terrible
effort,
Good-Night.—How tenderly and sweet
ly falls the gentle “good-night” into lov
hearts, as members of a family separate
and retire for the night. What myriads
of hasty words and thoughtless acts, en
gendered in the hurry and business of
the day, are forever blotted out by its
benign influenc®. Small tokens, indeed,
but it is the little couitesies that make
up the sum of a happy home. It is only
the little courtesies that can so beauti
fully round off the square corners in the
homes of laboring men and women. The
simple “I thank you,” for a favor re
ceived, will fill with happiness the heart
of the giver. True wealth is not estima
ted by dollars and cents, but by the
gratitude and affection of the heart. If
a home be happy, It is of heaven the
truest symbol. If a home be happy,
whether the owner possesses a patch of
ground or a thousand acres, they who
live there are indeed wealthy beyond
mathematical calculations. Then how
much more lovingly are the sable folds
of night gathered around the happy
home. How much more confidentially
do its members repose their weary body
in the care of divine goodness, smooth
ing their over-taxed minds to the living
realities of beautiful dreamland.
KEEP KOTBIXU FROM MOTHER.
They sat at the spinning together,
And they spun the fine white thread ;
One face was old and the other young—
A golden and silver head.
At times the young voice broke in song
That was wonderfully sweet,
And the mother's heart beat deep and calm,
For her joy was most complete.
There was many a holy lesson,
Inwoven with silent prayer,
Taught to her gentle, listening child,
As they two eat spinning there.
•'And of all that I speak, my darling,
From my older head and heart,
God giveth me one last thing to say,
And with it thou shalt not part.
“ Thou wilt listen to many voices,
And ah, woe that this must be !
The voice of praise, and tne vo.ee of love,
And the voice of flattery.
" But listen to me, my little one,
There's one thing that thou shalt fear;
Let never a word to my love be said
Which her mother may not hear.
•“No matter how true my darling one.
The words may seem to thee,
They are not fit for my child to hear,
If they cannot be told to me.
“ If thou'lt ever keep thy young heart pure,
And thy mother’s heart from fear,
Bring all that is said to thee by day
At night to thy mother's ear.”
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
What a Lamp Does.—A kerosene
lamp is not a suitable light for a sick
room ; for it should never be turned
low, on account of the disagreeable odor
which results. A scientific man once
said: “There is nothing in the world
that will produce diphtheria sooner than
a bad kerosene lamp.” Be that as it
may, if your kerosene lamp emits a dis
agreeable smell, it shows that something
is wrong—the oil may be of an inferior
quality, the burner may be poor, or it is
clogged up, or the wick needs to be
evenly trimmed.
“I am all played out” is a common com
plaint. If you feel so, get a package of
Kidney- Wort and take it and you will at
once feel its tonic power. It renews the
healthy action of the kidneys, bowels and
liver, and thus restores the natural life and
strength to the weary body. It can now be
had in either dry or liquid form, and in
either way is always prompt and efficient in
action. —New Bedford Standard.
Speaking of “Plumer's” in Philadelphia,
opposite Independence Hall, the “Boston
Courier” says: "In elegance of appoint
ments there is no hotel in the Quaker City
that is its superior."
Thousands have used Kendall’s S >avin
Cure for rheumatism after all other remedies
had failed, and have experienced instant re
lief. See the advertisement.
We trust the time will come when every
one will use Dobbins' Electric Soap, (made
by Cragin & Co., Philadelphia). Its sale is
daily increasing, as is always the case with
articles of merit. Try it.

It is worth remembering that nobody en
joys the nicest surroundings if in bad health.
There are miserable people about to day

OBITUARIBB.
JORDAN-Departed this life several months
ago, Deacon Joshua T. Jordan, aged about
titty-seven years.
He had been for many years, (and was nt
the time of his death,) a deacon of Way's
church, Jefferson county, Ga. For years be
fore he died he suffered much with dyspep
sla, but bore bls affliction with Christian
hope and fortitude ; and dually, when death
came to summons him to a higher, happier,
brighter sphere—the Clirlstian's home above,
lie said that he was prepared for the great
onange.
As a deacon, he was truly faithful and
mindful of all the varied interests of his
church. While physically able, he never
flagged In discharging the maulloid functions
pertaining to that Important offlee.
For many years, he was not only leader In
conducting lhesacred music of the church,
but was also leader in the conference meet
ings. He made it bls business aud duty to
keep well posted upon the obligations of the
church, and to see that they were promptly
aud faithfully discharged.
He was a kind and obliging husband and
father, and loved his family tenderly and af
fectionately ; discharging In a most exem
plary manner all of the duties binging upon
those sacred audlmportant relations. Asa
neighbor, be never forgot the poor widows
and orphans, and was foremost in adminis
tering to their wants.
In a general way, his hospitality was al
most unbounded. Preachers aud laity from
a distance, as well as those uear by, always
received a hearty welcome to his home aud
table, aud he spared neither pains uor ex
pense to make them both comfortable aud
happy.
He utui left behind a most excellent family,
who are trying so to live as to meet bun
where the “wicked cease from troubling aud
the weary be at rest.” aud may we all meet
him lu heaven where sorrow aud purling
will be known no more 1
EXPLANATORY.
Way's church in conference assembled,
promptly appointed a committee to draft
something that would give expression to the
feelings aud seutlmeuts of said church in
reference to brother Jordon. An obituary
was accordingly wrltteu with the intention
ofseudlng it to The Index for publication,
and also a transcript to the bereaved family
but in passing it through the committee tor
examination, it was mislaid or lost sight of
at some point, aud failed to reach either
point of destination. The foregoing is a sub
stitute for the original.

STEVENS.—Mrs. F. W.Stevens,relict of Dea
con R. H. Stevens, was born lu Hancock
county, Ga, February 15th 1827, aud died at
her home in Mayfleld, Georgia,J uly 24tU, 1881.
Sister Steveus was twice married. Having
remained a widow for some time after the
death of her first husband, Dr. Pearson, she
was married lu Poweiton, Ga., H Ste
vens, of Mount Zion, Ga. By her death four
children are made orphans, one by the first
marriage, and three by the second.
Slslet Steveus was a woman of fine business
qualities, aud good J udgment. She was nota
bly kind to the poor, aud attentive to the
sick, if any of her neighbors were sick, she
was there to nurse them ; aud there was no
belter nurse than she. Many resorted to her
lor counsel and advice in their distress and
perplexity. She was greatly esteemed in her
community for her many excellent traits ot
character. But more than all and above ail,
sister Stevens was a Christian. In early life,
1818, she came out upon the Lord’s side, aud
was baptiz.d into the fellowship of tne Pow
eltou Baptist church. Removing thence,she
carried her meiubeishlp to Horen, Hancock
county, where it remained till her death.
She Maintained au upright walk. She was
unable to speak in her last illness, but we
humbly believe she toll asleep iu the arms of

Tribute ot Respect.
Brother Bryan Lee was born in South Caro
lina, January 2(Jth, 1789, and died June 13th,
1881, at the residence ol his sou, Mr. J. J. Lee,
Concord. Pike county, <la. He sought and
louud the Savior in early manhood, and at
the age of tweuty-lour was baptized by Kev.
Mr Uray, in Jones county, Ga. About four
years after lie was ordained a deacon. Soon
after this, he removed to Monroe county, Ua.,
and became a member of Paran Baptist
church. In 1840, he removed to Pike county,
aud became a member ot Hebron church. He
raised a family ot nine Children, seven ot
whom, with his Wife, preceded him in death.
He lived an humble aud active Chritian life
discharging the dut'es of nis office faithfully.
He loved his church aud its privileges, aud
delighted in the discharge of bis duties,
whether public or private. One of bls favor
ite works was to seek out aud admonish the
wayward, and encourage the weak ami timid.
This life work lasted till the day of bls death;
he became speechless trying to mge a friend
to the discharge of duiy. Brother Lee was
not only remarkable lor his longevity, but
also for his habits of temperance and pru
dence and good health. He seldom felt a
bodily pain, and died without sickness. On
the day before his death he remarked to his
pastor that that day bad been one of the hap
piest days of his life; lie could look back aud
remember many trials and conflicts but,
thank God, the last battle Is fought, aud vic
tory is in sight. Not a doubt or fear disturb
ed him “Blessed be God,” said be, aud
paused ; he then said, “He that shall come
will come; yea, come quickly, Lord Jesus.”
Beit resolved, by tue Hebron church, of
which brother Lee had so long been a mem

First, That we bow with numble submis

Hospitality.—The habit that obtains
in many families of "heaping” food, and
Sving a little and considerable more
an is asked for, has nothing to be said
in its favor, and a great deal against it.
Unless one has a strong, firm appetite,
that only an earthquake or a tempest
could effect, a large quantity of food is
appalling. It is much pleasanter to
send one’s plate to have it replenished,
that to be obliged to leave food upon the
plate. In order to clear the plate one is
prone to overeat, from the idea of “sav
ing” the food. Economy does not signi
fy a lack of plentifuiness. or stinginess.
It means enough for each and all, and
nothing is wasted ; and when food is
served in over-abundance, waste must
be the result, unless indeed, the surplus
is gathered together again—the simple
idea of which is disgusting. Moreover,
it is a comfort to get just what one asks
for—if "half a cup of tea,’’ that much
and nc more.
