CONSECRATION HYMN.
BEV. CHAS. A. STAKKI.Y.
Jesus, thou hast died for me,
What have I to offer thee ?
Can I pay thee. Gracious One,
For the kindness thou bast done?
What Is all the wealth I have
To the blood thy goodness gave?
What is all the world compared
With the life thy mercy spared 7
Though I can not pay thee, Lord,
I can follow out thy word;
Help me do an honest part,
Loving Jesus, here’s my heart.
It shall throb for thee, and prove
E'er responsive to thy love;
It shall cherish all thy laws
And be married to thy cause.
Jesus, here’s my feeble mind;
All its powers sbalt be combined
To proclaim thy gracious birth,
To advance thy truth on earth.
Here's my will; Lord, it shall move
Pliant to the will above,
It shall softer grow each day
And more willing to obey.
Here's my body, now to tie
All a sacrifice to thee ;
Hands to do thy missions meet,
Feet to run thy errands sweet.
Here's a breast to bear the shield,
Here are arms to win the field,
Here's a tongue that shall proclaim
All the glories of thy name.
Jesus, take my heart and mind,
Take my will so glad resigned,
Take my body—let them be
Consecrated all to thee.
Let my heart desire thee more;
Let my mind thy name adore;
Make my body all thine own,
Let it love thy work alone.
Elberton, Ga.
BOYS, (jOHOW.
Ah. boys, you who have gone out from
the old homesteads into the rush and
bustle of life, do you ever think of the
patient mothers who stretching out to
you arms that are powerless to draw you
back to the old home nest? Arms that
were strong to carry you once, pressed
to hearts that love you now as then.
No matter, though your hair is silver
streaked, and Dot in the cradle calls you
grandpa, you are "the boys” so long as
mother lives. You are the children of
the old home. Nothing can crowd you
out of your mothers heart. You may
have failed in the battle of life, and your
manhood may have been crushed out
against the wall of circumstances; you
may have been prosperous, and gained
wealth and fame; but mother’s love has
followed you always. Many a “boy”
has not been home in five, ten, or twen
ty years. And all this time mother has
been waiting. Ah, who does not know
the agony expressed by that word ? She
may be even now saying, “1 dreamed of
John last night. Maybe he will come
to day. He may drop in for dinner
and the poor, trembling hands prepare
some favorite dish for him. Dinner
comes and goes, but John comes not with
it. Thus, day after day, month alter
month, year after year passes, till at last,
"hope deferred maketh the heart sick,”
aye, sick unto death ; the feeble arms are
stretched out no longer.
The dim eyes are closed, the gray hairs
are smoothed for the last time, aud the
tired hands are folded to everlasting rest,
and the mother waits no more on earth
for one who comes not. God grant she
may not have to wait vainly for his com
ing in heaven. Once more I say unto
you, boys, go home, if only for a day.
Let mother know you have uot forgoton
her. Her days may be numbered.
Next winter may cover her grave with
snow. — Watch-lower.
What Makes a House Beautiful?—
It is an excellent thing to have a well
kept house, and a beautifully appointed
table, but, after all, the best cheer of
every home must come from the heart
and manner of the home mother. If
that is cold, and this ungracious, all the
wealth of India can not make the home
pleasant and inviting. Intelligence, too,
must lend its charm, if we would have
home and Eden. The severe style of
house-order neatness seldom leaves
much margin for intellectual culture.
Even generai reading is considered as
out of the question for a woman so hur
ried and so worried with her scrubbing
and pollishing, and making up garments.
A simpler style of living and housefur
nishing would set many a bonded slave
at liberty, and add vastly to the comfort
of all in the house.
Hospitality rarely prevails in these
spotless line and-letter-houses. Compa
ny disarrange the books, and disorder
the house, which had work enough in it
before. The mother can not throw off
her household cares, and sit down for a
real heart-to-heart converse with the old
friend of her childhood. Still less can
she enter into the joys and pleasures
right and delightful to her own children,
because of the extra work of cleaning
which it will be likely to make.
With all your toils to make a house
beautiful, do not neglect the first ele
ment of all to beautify yourself, body
and soul. A sweet loving word, and a
warm clasp of the hand, are far more
to a guest than the most elaborately
embroidered lambrequins at your win
dow, or the most exquisite damask on
your table. There are bare cabin homes,
that have been remembered with pleas
ure, because of the beautiful, loving pres
ence there, and stately palaces, which
leave the impression of an iceberg on the
mind.— Baptist Weekly.
To Make Yeast.— For yeast, as made
in Tennessee, take a large handful of
hops, put them into a quart of water and
boil ten minutes. Put five tablespoon
fuls of sifted flour into a crock ; strain
the boiling hop water into it; beat it
well; add one teaspoonful of salt, and
when cool enough to bear the finger in,
add one yeast cake soaked soft, and set
to rise in a warm place. When it froths,
it is ready for use; then set in a cool
place. If you want dry yeast, use the
same quantity of corn-meal instead of
flour, and stiffen it with corn-meal;
make into cakes, and dry in the shade,
turning often. For the bread, to a gal
lon and a half of flour, take one teacupful
of soft yeast. Make a hole in the
flour, pour in a pint of boiling milk or
water, add cold milk or water until cool
enough to stir with the hands; add the
yeast and salt. Then mix the rest of the
flour with warm water, and set it to rise
in a warm place.

Salt for thk Throat.—ln these days
I when the diseases of the throat are so
universally prevalent, and in so many
cases fatal, we feel it our duty to say a
word in benalf of a most effectual, if not
positive, cure for sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we may
say dining the whole of a life of more
than forty years, we have been subject
to sore throat, and more particularly to
a dry hacking cough, which is not only
distressing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we are brought
into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times a
day—morning, noon and night. We dis
solved a large tablespoonful of pure table
salt in about a half smad tumbler full of
water. With this we gargle the throat
most thoroughly just before meal time.
The result has been that during the en
tire winter we were not only free from
coughs and colds, but the dry hacking
cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt gargle, and most
cordially recommend a trial of it to those
who are subject to this disease of the
throat.
Many persons who have never tried
the salt gargle have the impression that
it is unpleasant. Such is not the case.
On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after
a few days use no person who loves a nice
clean mouth and a first-rate sharpener of
the appetite will abandon it. — Exchange.
WATCHING AND WAITING.
“Will any one then, at the beautiful gate,
Be watching and waiting for me ?”
Oh I 1 long for the ihorea of a far away land,
For the slopes of its sunny vales,
I long for the gleam of its silvery strand.
And the breath of its fragrant gales,
But the waters run dark on the hither side
Os that far away land unknown,
And I stand In lhe shadows and wait for the tide
That must carry me out alone.
I see in my vision a city so fair,
Ils glories can never be told;
And I witness the joys that the sanctified share
In that far away city of old ;
I hear the melodious raptures that roll
Like the unending song of the sea;
They tell of the lost and loved of my soul,
Who are watching and waiting for me.
The vo'ces I love In yon “homo of the soul,"
Call faintly from over the sea,
Whose dark, silent waters unceasingly roll
Between the fair city and me.
My soul in the silence of joy welts apart,
And lifts her frail wings to be free,
For the voices of dear ones, the loved of my heart,
Come calling and calling for me.
The light of their glorious faces I see,
I scent the sweet breath of the flowers
Which their snowy white hands wave in beckon
ing me,
Across to those heavenly bowers.
Oh I many and many are those who await,
Where the blest and purified be—
At the shinning bars of the beautiful gate
They are waiting and watching for me.
The friends of my youth whom my love would
recall
Have joined the etherial train.
And one of my heart more beloved than them all
Is chanting the heavenly s rain
I feel my day closing, the hourgroweth late,
That city more near seems to be,
When I think that beyond, at the beautiful gate,
So many are waiting for me.
Blow softly, blow softly, ye balm bringing gales,
O er the sands of this low lying shore;
Your favoring breezes are filling the sails
Os the boat that will carry me o’er.
I’ll fear not, though dark lie the hour and late,
To sail away out on death's sea,
For the Friend of my soul at the beautiful gate,
Is watching and waiting for me.
A. Valuable Expkbiencs —Few men are
better known throughout the Methodist de
nomination than D. W. Bartine.D.D., M.D.
Speaking of a most critical incident in his
life, he said : "Some time since I found
myself suffering from what is known as Al
buminuria. By the use of a reliable test, I
found albumen in the urine, and in some
slight degree in a few instances in a coagula
ted state. I suffered from dropsy, particu
larly about the ankles, slight pains about
the' kidneys, a derangement of digestion,
great dryness of the skin, at times much
thirst, and of course a gradual failing of
strength. This was about the state of things
when I commenced using Warner's Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. I took about six
tablespoonfuls every d.iy for a week, when I
fonnd all my symptoms decidedly improved,
and at the end of two weeks it was difficult
to detect any trace of albumen. Having
imprudently taken cold, I had a very slight
relapse some two weeks ago, when I began
again using the medicine, and am now as
well as ever.” The doctor's symptoms are
as common as headache, and yet, unless
taken in time, they may lead to the worst
results, which the remedy above named will
certainly prevent.

The Popular Demand.—So great has been
the popular demand for the celebrated reme
dy Kidney-Wort, that it is having an im
mense sale from Maine to California. Some
have found it inconvenient to prepare it
from the dry compound. For such the pro
prietors now prepare it in liquid form. This
can be procured at the druggists. It has
precisely the same effect as the dry, bnt is
very concentrated so that the dose is much
smaller. —Lowell Mail.
It is scarcely possible Jo name a hotel
where the patrons receive more satisfactory
treatment or find more pleasant surround

Wilson, within a few days of his ninety-sev
enth year. He was born in South Carolina,
November 25th, 1784, and died July 7th, 1681.
His connection with the church and his
ordination were before the first division of
the Baptist church in this State. Brother Wil
son served as a ialtnful deacon for years, be
ing true to bls office, thereby purchased to
himself a great degree of faith and boldness,
for the cause of his Muster. He was ordained
to the ministry some time In the year 1820, by
Jesse Mercer, Joal Colley and Cyrus White.
Brother Wilson lived near LaGrange from
1833 to the winter of 1880. The people of Troup
county will bear witness to bis consistent
Christian life. Those of us that knew him
best loved hitn best. As a minister he was
faithful for sixty years. The writer visited
Brother Wilson a few days before his death
and found him cheerful and resigned to the
call of his Master. He desired to be absent
from the body and present with the Lord,
where he could see Jesus,though totally blind
here. He left the world In the full triumph
of a living , fait. Eight children mourn their
loss, which is bis eternal gain.

to the business entrusted to him.
He united with the Baptist church at White

Warned by declining health of approach
ing death, he expressed himself as waiting
for the summons to depart hence, and of H>s

Georgia, she resided several years, from
thence Elder Gore moved to Texas, where up
to the time of lierfatal Illness she found work
for her heart and hands. She was an exam
glary Christian, and we feel has gone to the
right realms In the Beyond ; and while the
death angel’s stroke has made a vacant seat
in the family circle and a void In the bosom
of many friends,'twill only swell the num
bers ’round the “Great White Throne.”

Hope we too to dwell.

Scotland and Her Thistle.—Once
duringgan invason of Scotland by the
Danes, they arranged to supprise the
Scottish army. It was not considered
fair or warlike to attack an enemy in the
darkness of the night. So they resolved
to march barefooted, that their tramp
might not be heard. Silently, slowly,
but steadily they drew nca-er and near
er to the Sottish camp. In a few min
utes the sunprise would have been com
plete. Suddenly a loud cry of pain rang
through the air startling both invader
and invaded. The Scots sprang to their
feet, seized their weapons, charged upon
the foe, and defeated them with great
slaughter. The cry that saved them
came from one of the Danish soldiers,
who with bis bare foot had trod on a this

REVISED DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULAR OF DELAND, FLORIDA.
(fFT January Bth,jlßßl.f
THE village of DeLand is located five miles east
of our landing, on the St. John’s river, where
all river steamboats pass; very near the geo
graphical center, north and south of Volusia
county, and almost in the center of
THE GREAT ORANGE BELT.
This place is about twenty-five miles from the
Atlantic ocean, and is almost constantly favored
with a tempered
BREEZE,
and from its elevation above the river, its location
among the pines, and its isolation from all land
ing water, it is peculiarly adapted to the necessi
ties of invalids. This belt of land is about twenty
miles long, and averages about five miles wide, is
gently undulating, an , in our immediate vicini
ty, somewhat hilly. Our lands are
Cnsurpassed in Fertility
by any pine region in the State. In our village
which is only lour years old, we have a
Fine School Building,
used also for union Sunday-school and church
services. We have daily mails, three genera I mer
chandise stores, one of the largest in South
Florida, a drug store, millinery and notion store.
The Florida Agriculturalist,
a large eight i»age weekly, is published here, and

For the information of invalids, we will add that
several good physicians are settled in our midst,
cultivating oranges as a business, but affording
excellent medical aid when required. They re
port the following
Remarkable Health Record:
"During the years 1878,1879 and 1880, within a
circuit of six miles diameter, DeLand being the
center, with a population averaging over 250,
many of whom came here invalids, there have
been but four deaths. Two were infants under
six months, and two were men who came here
sick.”
A Chain of Lakes
northwest of us affords protection from frost so
perfect that the extreme cold of December 29th,
1880 did not injure our orange trees or fruit.
We are offering these choice lands to actual
settlers at from 310 to 330 per acre. Village lots
