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. Dr. Pierce’s "Pellets"—little liver pills (sugar-coated)—purify the blood, speedily correct all disorders of the liver, stomach, aid bowels. By druggists. 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. From Eminent J H Southall, M D , Lit tle Rock, Ark.; ‘ I willingly bear testimony to the excellent food tonic effect of Colden's Liebig's Extract of Beef and Tonic Invigora tor regarding it as a mild, unirritating and easily digested tonic, well adapted in cases of Chlorosis, Nervousness and Vascular Debili ty, consequent upon the climateric period of women.” (Remember tbe name, Golden’s— take no other). Os druggists generally. 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 the breakfast table the next morning by asking the following question: “Papa, what do you want to give the bride away for? Can’t you sell her?” The Philadelphia Easy Hour mentions Mr. J. A. Walton, of 1245 N. Twelfth street, that city, as an enthusiastic in dorser of St. Jacobs Oil for the relief and cure of diseases of horses. The best things are nearest; breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hands, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life. Malaria in any of its forms, chills and fever, congestive chills can be prevented or cured by the use of Simmons Liver Regula tor, a purely vegetable medicine, superior to calomel and quinine. There have been many definitions of a gentleman, but the prettiest and most emphatic is’ that given by a young lady. “A gentleman,” says she, “is a human being combining a woman’s tenderness with a man’s courage.” “ Accept Our Gratitude.” Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir —Your “ Golden Medical Discovery” has cured my boy of a fever sore of two years’ standing. Please accept our gratitude. Yours truly, HENRY WHITING, Boston, Mass. To feel much for others and little for our selves, to restrain our selfish and to indulge our benevolent affections, constitute the per fection of human nature.—Adam Smith. ' Increase and Decrease.— The census shows that the proportion of voters to the popula tion is Itos 74 100 The proportion of per sons troubled with kidney and liver disor ders has been alarmingly increasing, but since the almost universal use of Warner's Safe Kidney Cure these diseases are rapidly diminishing.

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.
