Addison Brainard, in Chriatian Secretary. “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 server, 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.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1881. 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.

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. Jas. H. Oliphant. t « 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 J ..Cl lie But’the kind neighbor, the devoted mother, the Christian wife, has gone “the way of alt the earth.” In the circle in wi ich she mov ed, noue will be more greatly missed. Rest thee, dear sister, iu thy peaceful slum ber, till resurrection morn. May God bless and save the orphan chil dren. J. W- Ellington. Penfield, Ga-, August 20th, 1881. SPINKS.—Mrs. Nancy Spinks departed this life, April 28th, 1881, aged seventy-eight years and seventeen days. For the last thir ty years ol her life sue had been a devoted member of a Missionary Baptist church, ex emplllylug by her daily walk, her pious aud godly couversatlou the spirit of au bumble lollower of our precious Savior. We, the committee iu behalf of the Third Baptist church, offer the following resolutions, Resolved, Ist, That we tender our Christian sympathy to the bereaved family, trusting that they may look up with a spirit of resig nation to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who tor the Joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, an 1 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Resolved 2d, That this tribute of respect be published in The Chiusiian Index, aud a copy of the same be sent to the family of the deceased, and also that it be spread on the record as this church. .

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 bfi* • First, That we bow with numble submis sion to the will ot our Heavenly Master In calling this aged lather in Israel tohlset rual home. , , ~ Second, Tbatinthe loss of brother Bryan Lee, the church has been bereaved of one of Its most prayerful and faithful members; and the community of a consistent and ex emplary citizen. • , , , Thiid Th t we lend r to th? b-reaved rela ions cur he r f<it sympathy in thl- afllicion at de in mend them to look I- rcomf-r to him whu is all -11 ise, and who cou ros all V Ings.

S may 19 26t 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. HOLMAN’S PAD cures JO Simply Without hy MEDICINE I Wh J Absorption TRACK MARK.
