The Household.
A CHILD’9 DEATH.
1 murmur not, Father I My will is with thee;
I knew nt the first that my darling win thine :
Hadal thou taken him earlier, O Father-but see
Thou hsdst left him so long that 1 dreamed he
was mine.
Thou hast taken the fairest—he was fairest to me;
Thou hast taken the fairest— Us always thy

Thou hast taken the dearest; was he dearest to
ThoiiVrt welcome, thrice welcome—yet woe is
the day I
Thou hast honored my child by the speed of thy
Thou hast crowned him with glory, o’er
whelmed hint with mirth:
He sings up in heaven with his sweet-sounding
While*!, a saint s mother, am weeping on earth.
Yet O for that voice, which is thrilling through
One moment my ears with its music to slake I
O no I not for worlds would I have him regiven,
Yet 1 long to have back what I would not re
take.
Thou art blooming in heaven, my blossom, my
And'thv beauty makes Jesus and angels more

Bai tits' mothers have sung when their eldest-born
O why, my own saint, is thy mother so sau .
Go, go. with thy God, with thy Saviour, my
child; ... v.
Thou art his; I am bis : and thy sisters are his;
But to-day thy fond mother with sorrow is wild,
To think that her son is an angel in bliss I
0 forgive me, dear Saviour I on heaven’s bright
shore
Should 1 still in my child And a separate Joy;
While I lie in the light of Ihy face evermore
May I think heaven brighter because of my
boy, F. W. Faber.
HOME ATMOSPHERE.
The atmosphere of the household,
which either converts to. Christ or pre
verts to fashion,foil}’ and impiety,is com
monly created by parents. They are
responsible for it. If the whole trend of
of household talk and thought and am
bition runs toward money making, or
social convivialities, or general godless
ness, it is the father and mother who
give the pitch. Nowhere is it so diffi
cult to make the best preaching or the
best Sunday-school teaching effective on
character as in the malarious air of such
a home. As soon expect to rear oranges
in Lapland as plants of grace in so god
less an atmosphere. The parental in
fluence penetrates through the house
with as subtile a poison as escaping gas
from an ill-built furnace. As Dr. Bush
nell has pithily said, in his incompara
ble book on "Christian Nurture:” What
ever Are the parents kindle, the child
ren are found gathering the wood. They
help as either apprentices or act e-sories.
If the father begins Sabbath with some
secular Sunday newspaper, the family
will help him read it. If the parents go
irregularly to God's house, the children
will hardly care to go at all. If the
mother is a scandal-monger, she will
make her children tattlers and eave-drop
pers. lishe directs her servants to say
at the door that she is not at home, the
children will learn to be polite liars. If
the father puts the decanter on the ta--
ble, the boys will soon begin to practice
with the fatal glass. That rich father
who disinherited a son for drunkenness,
and in the same will bequeathed his
wine cellar to certain heirs, gave a very
palpable proof of the home atmosphere
which had poisoned the poor boy. Pa
rental provocation and ill temper sour
the very air of many households, so that
the children can hardly escape being
cross, snappish and irritable. How can
piety breathe in such air? How can a
family be trained up in the knowledge
of God’s word when the Book of books
is seldom opened, and the spirit of its in
structions is no more known than in the
house of a Mussulman ? Even in the
families of many professors of religion,
I do not look for any conversions, for I
know that the most faithful discourses
will be destroyed by the malaria of the
home. It was the atmosphere of Elka
nah’s and Hannah’s godly house that
produced a Samuel. It was the wretched
air of Eli’s house which ruined Hophni
and Phinehas.— Rev. T. L. Ouyler.
WHAT'S THE HARM?
“What’s the harm of a game of cards?”
said John Latimer to Robert Stanton,
who had suddenly come upon him and
his friends,as they were gathered around
a card-table. “We don’t have any
atak»R. We don’t play for money, or
cigars, or drinks. We are only whiling
away a little time and having a little
pleasant excitement. Now where's the
harm ?” •
“Well,’’ said Robert, “perhaps there is
not much harm in the mere act of play
ing, as you are playing jiist now. But, I
am afraid of the beginning of such
things. Card-playing is like drinking.
At first, it seems innocent enough; but
at the last, it ruins everything. For my
Fart, therefore, I choose the safe side.
am very sure, if I know nothing about
cards, there will be no possibility of my
becoming a gambler.”
“By the way,” he continued, “let me
tell you what I lately saw in the Phila
delphia limes. That paper says : ‘There
is a man in Washington who is now’ a
common gambler, but who, in other
years, bore a splendid name. He was a
graduate of Harvard college, and was
elected, at the close of the war, to the
United States Senate, from one of the
Southern States. He served in this and
other offices with great distinction. Af
ter his term in the Senate, he was ap
pointed Assistant Secretary of Treasury.
Here his fall began. He 1 ecametoo fond
of wine and cards, and finally lost his
office and landed in jail.
" ‘After getting out of jail, he was, for
a time, wretchedly poor. He rallied a
little, and got appointed to a twelve
hundred dollar clerkship. His friends
thought he might recover himself in
this position. But he did not. He had
a terrible passion for gambling , and un
der the baleful influence of this, he lost
his clerkship and his money ..too. Now
he goes about, borrowing a dollar or two,
whenever he can, which he takes into
the lowest gaming placesand plays with,
until it is gone. If he has no money,
he sits by and keeps the score for the
low wretches who frequent these hells
on earth. He once had a charming
family of boys and girls; but he knows
not wnere they are now.’ ”
“I tell you what, boys,” said Robert,
warming up, “there is harm in anything
which produces results like those. If
you want to incur sucjr risks, you may.
But I will not. In my judgment, the
beat thing to do with a* pack of cards is,
to pack them into the fire.”— Our Young
People.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 188 I.
Every Ladder has Two Ends
When a small boy I was carrying a not
very large ladder, when there was a
crash. An unlucky movement had
brought the rear end of my ladder
ajainst a window. Instead of scold
ing me, my father made me stop, and
said very quietly: “Look Lere, my son,
there is one thing I wish you to remem
ber; that is, every ladder has two
ends.” I have never forgotten that,
though many, many years have gone.
Don’t we carry things beside ladders
that have two ends? When I see a
young man getting fast habits I think
he sees only one end of the ladder, the
one pointed towards pleasure, and that
he does not know that the other is
wounding his parents’ hearts. Many
a young girl carries a ladder in the
shape of a love for dress and finery ;
she sees the gratification of a foolish
pride at the forward end of that ladder,
while the end that she does not see is
crushing modesty and friendship as
she goes along thoughtlessly through
the crowd. Ah! yes, every ladder has
two ends, and it is a thing to be remem
bered in more ways than one.— Child's
Paper.

Flowers that Tell the Time.—Al
most every flower has a time for open
ing or closing its petals, and a particu
lar way of doing it. But there are
some flowers which are regular clocks,
and others regular barometers.
The common “chick-weed” is sensi
tive to cloudy weather, and the “pim
pernel” or “poor man’s weather-glass,”
hangs its head at the approach of a
storm.
There is a flower called “four o’clock”
which opens at that hour. The “morn
ing glory” opens at three o’clock in the
morning, and closes about nine or ten,
according to its location. The “even
ing primrose” opens between five and
seven o’clock in the evening.
Plants sleep just as animals do.
When the little “Marsilia,” a water
plant, goes to bed, its four leaves meet
with a “click” that can be heard. Some
petals droop in slumber, and others
fold crossways, while a few curl up
lengthways.
" I don’t want a plaster,” said a sick man
to a druggist; "can’t you give me something
to cure me?” His symptoms were a lame
back and disordered urine, and were a sure
indication of kidney disease. Tbe druggist
told him to use Kidney-Wort, and in a short
time it effected a complete cure. Have vou
these symptoms? Then get a box or bottle
to-day, before you become incurable. It is
the cure; safe and sure.—Knoxville Repub
lican.
Remedy for Damp.—Fordamp clos
ets and cupboards, which generate
mildew, a trayful of quick-lime will be
found to absorb the moisture, and ren
der the air pure; but, of course, it is
necessary to renew the lime from time
to time, as it becomes fully slaked.
This remedy will be found useful in
safes and strong rooms, the damp air
of which acts frequently most inju
riously on the valuable deeds and docu
ments which they contain. — Tribune
and Farmer.

A. mercenary little boy overheard a
conversation between his parents con
cerning a wedding that was soon to
come off, and recalled the subject at

by asking the following question:
“Papa, what do you want to give the
bride away for? Can’t you sell her?”

OBITUARIES.
JOHNSON—In Perry, Ga ,on the 2fith of Octo
ber, Mias Foy Johnson, daughter of P. W. John
son. President of Houston Female College. She
had lived in our c mmunity only a little more
than one year, yet in that shoe time had en
deared heiself to our people. After graduating
in Raleigh. N. C.. she aided her father in teach
ing part of her time. Her intl ienoe over th
young, and over all who knew her In fact, was
most excellent. She was a det ideil Christian.
By modesty and consistency of Chiiatiait conduct,
she recommended her religion to all. She early
consecrated her life to the service of Christ, having
Joined the church lu Quitman county when quite
young She had not been well after her return
from North Carolina, where she spent her sum
met vacation; but she continued at her post of
duty till a short time before her death. She was
suddenly called upon to die, but was not found
unready Ou the day following her death she
was laid in the p trior where friends took a las'
look upon her, as she appeared t>eautiful and
and lovely, even in death. Her remains were
carried to Wake For. st. S. C., for Interment, with
others of the family, who had gone before her,
and the place where she at first entered upon the
life so soon to end. Her remains were followed
to the train by a long precession of carriages,
voung people and children weeping for her.
Nev r has the writer soen the hearts of our people
so moved, and such sorrow andsympathysnown.
RYAN—Died, in Chattahoochee county, Ga..
sister Caroline C. Ryan. She was born in the
vear 18'0. While young she professtd faiih in
Christ, and was baptised by Elder James Barnes,
and was nt rried to Elder Risdon Ryan. The)
moved to Talbot county, Gc.ln the year 1839, and
iu the year 184> moved to Muscogee (uow Co- tta
lioochee couutv) and became a member of the
chu-chat Beulah. She had spent the greater por
tion of her lite in the service of V e Master. Her
orderly walk and sincere devotion to the religion
of Jesus Christ give evidence that she loved ner
Savior, and that the Holy Spirit was preparing
her for the mansions of eternal glory. It may be
truly said of her, that a mother In Israel has
fallen asleep For the last ten months she wa>
quite a sufferer, yet she bore her Afflictions with
out a murmur and with an unwavering faith tn
Christ as her Savior.
Calmly waiting for the glad summons to call
her redeeme i spirit to the belter land, she died
on tlie 13th of July last, leaving a family of chil
dren, relatives and friends to mourn her depar
ture. Thus God ingathering ills redeemed to that
rest that remains for the people of God.
"Dearest mother, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tie God that has bereft ns—
He can all our sorrows heal.
"Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
There in heaven with Joy to gre’t thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.”
G. W. Wkkkley.
Cusseta, Ga., November 10,1881.
• Os those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence,"
We may truly enroll the name of M s. Mary J
Skellie, whose ■ pirit passed from earth at her
h mi- in Fort Valley. Georgia, ou the night of
October 24th, 1881. aged sixty nine years. She
wa< reared t>y a devotedly pious widowed mother
In Greenesboro, Georgia. After her marriage to
Rev. Wm. A Skellie In 1835. she resided in Talbot
county until her removal to Fort Valley in 1-56
While yet young, she believed in God and united
with the church: the remainder of her life, she
believed and trusted in her Savior. ‘ 0 blissful
hope' Saf -home! Bure rest’ ! When her case
had reached a crisis, her brother Mr. J <m<s
M Her, of Augusta, Georgia, to whom she was ar
dently attached, was s immoned by telegraph,and
arrived in time to receive a loving recognition and
mingle his tears with weeping relatives and
triends at the bedside oi the dying Christian.
Her naturally leeble constitution was quickly
prostrated when disease made its attack, which
rendered h-r too weak to say much lu her last
hours, but no dying testimony was needed to as
sure friends—enemies, she bad none—of her state
of nf nd. That she had long lived in readiness
for that hour, there can be no doubt. The fliat
nirhtof her sickness, she told her daughter she
could not survive even an ordinary attack of
fever then expressed (as she had done before)
perfect willingness to abide the decision us the
Divine W Hl. While she regretted to sunder I IvA
strong ties of affection which bound h- r K*.
Children here—a daughter andttwo yel-her
confident faith inspired in her longihg a sires for
the heavenly home where she would meet loved
ones who had preceded her.
To say that she was perfect would, to strangers,
appear to be only the sentiment of blinded affee
lion, but those who have known her longest and
b< st feel that no language is too strong—noeulogy
sufficient—to convey a true idea of her spotless
character. In every sphere oi lifeshe was the same
pure, gentle, loving, faithful, tru-ting CArfsllan.
Her last admonition to her children, as they
were assembled iu her room watching the ebbing
hours, was: "Be faithful Christiana, aud work for
Jesus.” Then, aft' r a pause, raising her hands,
she sweetly and softly said:
• Nothing in my hands I bring—
Simply to thy cross 1 cling."
Much she would have said to encourage their
faith and stimulate their zeal for Christ, and
doubtless would have comforted their sorrowing
hearts, had she not been too feeble to utter the
V-oughts her rational mind conceived. "Her
children rise up and call her blessed ” Never do
they remember to have heard one loud or angry
wo-d from her lips, even when the honored hand
administered correction: always patient, loving,
kind.
She was a conscientious Baptist. Every interest
of the church was dear to her. As long as she was
able, she waa a most efficient worker in the Sab
bath-school. For her pastor she labored and
prayed. we mourn our loss; but,
so perfectly assured are we that she is now enjoy
ing the rest to which her hopes had long pointed,
that our very grief is not unmized with joy at her
triumph. She was loved and admired by all as a
model of excellence. Now that she has gone-from
us, we will emulate her virtues and cherish the
memory of her bright example, which is, to her
descendants, a noble patrimony, an imperishable
legacy. B L. Ross, Pastor.

FLORIDA.
REVISED DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULAR OF DELAND,: FLORIDA.
J HE village of DeLand is located five miles east
of our landing, on the St. John’s river, where
river steamboats pass; very near the geo
graphical center, north and south of Volusia
countv, 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
sEA BREEZE,
and from its elevation above the river, Its location
among the pines, and its isolation from all stand
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 viclai
ty, somewhat hilly. Our lands are
Unsurpassed in Fertility
by any pine region in the State. In our village
which is only four years old, we have a
Fine School Building,
used also for union Sunday-school and church
services. We have dally malls, three general mer
chandise stores, one of the largest in South
Florida, a drug store, millinery and notion store.

is a valuable paper for those desiring information
about Florida A railroad from our landing via
DeLand to the Atlantic coast is chartered and
work commenced: also, material on hand for a
Telephone to our landing. Our boarding houses
afford good fare at reasonable prices.
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, DeLaud being the
center, with a population averaging over 250,
many of whom came here invalids, there have
been but tour deaths. Two were infanta 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 ol December 29th,
1880 did not injure our orange trees or fruit.
We are offering these choice lands to actual
settlers at from 810 to 830 per acre. Village lota
and improved property for sale also.
