THE CARTERSVILLE EXPRESB. VOLUME XIX.] CURRENT PARAGRAPHS- New Orleans on Tuesday had a $30,000 blaze. Gen. J. R. Chalmers has been re nominated for Congress by the sixth district of Mississippi. Josh Billings says he knows people who are so fond of argument that they will stop and dispute with a guide board about the distance to the next town. Hon. Joseph E. Brown will return to Atlanta by August Ist, so as to attend the commencement exercises of the State University, and the an nual meeting of the board of trustees. A Washington special to the Cin cinnati Gazette says Tildeu is looking to secure a majority of the New York delegation in the next House, with a view to a possible election of the next President by the House. The sptjts have disappeared from the sun’s surface, and this is said to be the cause of the extreme heat; the spots being of some other substance than lire, but those spots are on fire also, the space on each spot being about 000,45 miles square. The July number of the Masonic Jewell, published at Memphis, con. tains the annual report of the Masonic Relief Board, of that city. Thirty eight applicants were relieved during the year, and only $290 were expend ed. It appears that but little pau perism exists in the fraternity, and very few demands for brotherly aid are made, even though the times are hard. Many of the St. Louis newspapers have had their staffs temporarily de pleted by the prostration of reporto rial and editorial emplopees from ex treme heat. Last week the Globe- Democrat had five down, tho Times three, the Evening Post two, the Republican two. and the Journal and Dispatch two, while a number of re porters are afflicted by the heat, but continue to work. Professor BarlT, of England, whose explanation of his new process for the permanent protection of iron from rust and atmospheric influence formed the great feature of the recent con ference of British architecs, has re fused an offer of $1,250,000 for his patent rights. The invention, which is likely to revolutionize the iron trade, consists in coating the metal with its own protoxide. Gov. Hampton advised the Dem ocracy of Anderson not to let “Inde pendents run under any circum stances.” lie said, “an Independent now, though he be the ablest man in the South, devoted to the State, and willing to do anything for her, yet if he is an Independent now, and makes us run the risk of losing the State or county, is the worst enemy of South Carolina.” Collector Smith, of Chicago, re cently received a lot of begging cir culars from the Republican Congres sional executive committee, witn a request to distribute them among the employes of the custom house and send on the returns to Washington. Mr. Smith “chucked the stuff into the waste basket,” and told au inter viewer tnat “the employes of this department will never contribute a cent for political purposes under any administration*” Science has now demonstrated the fact that sun-stroke is caused by the actime rays of the sun, which can be entirely avoided by using a yellow umbrella or ventilating and lining the head covering with yellow cam bric or other material. Photograph ers will also bear witness to the fact, which it is hoped the people gener ally will take advantage of during the heated term- A yellow umbrella will also prevent sunburn and freck les—an important fact for the ladies. In a case in New York, Friday, a female witness testified that she had on one occasion “deceived” her hus band by taking money from his pocket one night on his return home in a drunken condition. A lawyer on the opposite side contended that this was robbery, not deception, whereupon the learned judge inter posed and said: “Oh, when a man comes home drunk, his wife has a right to rob him, and I think this is a good law.” Bibulously inclined husbands would do well to remem ber this. A Lynchburg dispatch says, while Col. A. A. Fuelkerson, of Itose Hill, was riding over his farm he was at tacked by about eighty or one hun dred swallows. The little birds, with great chattering surrounded him and pecked at his clothing. He was at first amused, but after a short while they began sticking their beaks into his face and neck, and he barely escaped with his life. It is feared that he will lose the sight of both eyes, and his nose was so mutilated that in all probability it will have to be amputated. That the sun’s rays are capable of kindling fires which sometimes des troys large amounts of property was fully demonstrated a few days since iu a town in Vermont. A houss was 6et on fire by the rays of the sun fall ing upon several new milk cans in the yard and being reflected upon the clapboards of the house. An expe riment was afterward made with the cans, by allowing the rays of the sun to be reflected on pieces of cloth. The result was that the cloth was burned to ashes in a short time. For preserving the complexion— temperance. For whitening the hands—honesty. To remove stains —repentance, For improving the sight— observation. A beautiful ring —the home circle. For improving the voice—civility. The best com panion to the toilet—a wife, SHORT NEWS ITEMS. A wasp’s nest contains 15,000 cells. Russia estimates her total war losses at 998,000,000 ronbles. Babies are twenty-five per cent, scarcer in France than in England. Women first appeared on the stage in England in 1661. About 20,000 tea plants were distri buted in 1878 by the Commissioner of Agriculture, at Washington, in the States best suited to the culture of this plant. Alphonso, the young widower King of Spain, is not yet twenty-one. Elopement, marriage, twins and divorce have happened to an Indiana girl within a year. Maine packs 5,000,000 cans of corn every year. dog killers have slaught ered 3,000 canines in the past two weeks. The Widdow Oliver insists that she will never compromise with Simon Cameron. Bully for Mary. Cholera has made its appearance in Connecticut. Yellow fever has appeared in New York city. Arkansas is shipping walnut and oak logs to Liverpool. Mrs. A. T. Stewart claims to own the largest solitaire diamond in the United States; value $35,000. Of the six millions of Roman Cath olics in the United States, 1,237,000 are said to be Germans. Tramps are being arrested in Wis consin. Asiatic yellow 7 fever is said to pre vail in Norwich, Conn. Boston comes to the front with eight sunstrokes on Wednesday, of which three were fatal. A gentleman in Blackville, S. C., has begun the culture of silk. Seven sun-stokes in Quincy, 111., Monday, five of which died, and thir ty in St. Louis, Sunday,nine of which died. According to stastistics, 166,000 liq uor dealers were licensed in theU.S. during 1877; and the people consumed $600,000,000 worth of the piosonous stuff the same year. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore receives about SIB,OOO a year as the proceeds of her lectures. Her lectures are pre pared with the greaiest care, and are never delivered until they are per fecly finished in every point. Some horses were stolen in Vinton, Ark., and only one of the thieves was caught. His comrades, fearing that he would make a confession implica ting them, led a mob of lynchers to the jail and hanged him. There is honor among thieves, you know. The first white man whipped under the new law in Virginia was a sailor at Hampton Roads, who stole an an chor, The punishment was inflicted by a negro constable. A valuable mineral spring has just been discovered in Pi he county, near the line of Coffee county. The experimental farm of the Uni versity of Georgia, at Athens, under charge of Dr. Lilltle, has been increas ed from sixteen to sixty acres, and twenty-two fertilizers are now being experimented with on corn and cot ton. The fertilized plant is 300 per cent, ahead of the unmanured. Forty adult persons were killed in St. Liuis on Saturday last, from the effects of sunstroke. It is said to have been a day of terror in that city, and all business was finally suspended as prominent citizens one after another were prostrated in their homes to die. The star-spangled banner that wav ed from Fort McHenry during the memorable fight of the war of 1812, and which, if history tells the truth, was woven into Key’s anthem of the Republic, was wrapped in in a shroud rraund the dead body of William Mc- Pherson, the old-time warrior, who died, aged eighty-three, at Cockeys ville, Baltimore county, last Tuesday. A child 7 years old has been con victed of murder at Bellary, in south ern India. The mother was dy ing of of famine and fever and was unable to nurse her infant, who was wailing. In her despair she told her little daughter to throw her baby sis ter into the well, and the child, with treu oriental stolidity, obeyed. The little creature was tried for murder, and, by some strange legal perverity, convicted, as we have said, but the judge recommended a free pardon, which will, of course, be accorded. Hon. Geo. W. Peck, in a Fourth of July oration at La Crosse, Wis., sug gested a change of our country’s em blem. He said that, as the United States was a plodding nation, a nation of workers, slow to anger, but when angered hard kickers and loud talk ers, that the mule, possessing all these qualities, should be the national trade m*uk, and E ploricuis Union , our motto, should be changed to Youplu. ribus mulum , sic, distemper , al cipaca. Report says the Rev. C. A. Ken drick, who was tried in Columbus for seduction, and recently figured in Cincinnati again, has written to some friends who stood by him in his hour of trial, confessing fully hisguilt both in Columbus and Cincinnati. The letter was read to the church in Co lumbus, and the brethren who receiv ed it confessed that they had been de ceived in their past action in regard to Kendrick, and begged to set them selves right in the matter. CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1878. Head ami Reflect. Editors Express: —Please allow me space in your paper to state a few reasons why I, and a good many oth ers, will not vote for Dr. Felton for Congress: It was asked if he would accept a nomination from the Ringgold con vention, and he defied the BemO' cratic party by replying that “he would have nothing to do with con* ventions.” He promised previous to the last election, that if elected, he would in troduce and press a bill through Con gress to reduce the salaries of all gov ernment officers from the President down, in conformity to the times and the increased value of money; and notwithstanding this, has never in troduced such a bill, but has greedily pocketed his pay—s6,soo a year. In his speech at Cartersville he ridiculed and sneeringly referred to Lester’s empty sleeve, made so by his hero ism on the battle-field in defense of his country, while he was safely lead ing a life of pleasure on his “landed identity.” He has been in Congress for four years, and, other than an empty sounding wrecker speech, delivered solely as an electioneering dodge, he has given no relief whatever to the tax-burdened suffering millions of our people. He has drawn about $25,000 of the people’s money, has lived in luxury at the nation’s expense, and has used most of the time in doing so, in send ing out seeds, documents and speeches, and resorting to every means to delude the people into vot ing for him for a third term, and that, too, when he has affected no relief for the people whatever. Because he wants to hold on with one hand to the same public teat that for four years he has so earnestly condemned in others, while at the same time lie points with the other to the w ounds of a gallant soldier who deserves to be rewarded by his grate ful countrymen. Because he said iu his speech at Dalton two years ago that if he was re-elected to Congress at that time, he would not ask the people of this district to vote for him for a third term, Because he has cast no vote, or made no record, other than that laid down and planned by the Democratic party, which he has already divided and is laboring to destroy; and, which, if continued, will prostrate our State under the yoke of a Re publican despotism. Because he is iu full sympathy at home, caucusses with, and is sup ported by the Republican party, without which he could no more be elected to Congress than Tom Thumb could become a jiant. And lastly, because he is not satis isfied with his already undeserved rewards, but in order to hold on to office, he makes charges which can not be substantiated, and, although he said in 1874, that “if the Conven tion should nominate so good and pure a man as Geo. N. Lester, that he would ground arms and retire to the shades of private life,” yet con trary to this; he has trumped up false charges against his neighbor, (Geo. N. Lester) and is notexemplyfing by his conduct the scriptual injunction. “Love thy neighbor as thy self,” and “if a man smite you in one cheek, turn to him the other also; Bartow County Farmer. What is the Vatican. The Vatican is a word which is Of ten used, but there are many who do not understand its meaningor import. The term refers to a collection of build ings on one of the seven hills of Rome, which covers a space of 1,200 feet in length, and 1,000 feet in breadth. It is built on the spot once occupied by the garden of Nero. About the year 1160 Pope Eugenius built it on a mag nificent scale. Innocent 11, a few years afterwards, gave it up as a lodging to Peter 11, King of Argon. 1305, Clement, at the instignation of the King of France, removed the Papal See from Rome to Avignon, when the Vatican remained in a con dition of obscurity for nearly seventy years. But soon after the Pontifical Court to Rome, which finally took place in 1376, the Vatican was put into a state of repair, again enlarged, and it was thence forward considered as the regular palace and residence of the Popes; who one after another, added fresh building, to it, and grad ually enciroled it with antiquities, statues, pictures and books, until it became the riches depositoryin the world. The library of the Vatican was commenced 1,400 years ago. It contains 400,000 raanuscrips, among which are some by Pliny, St. Thom as, St. Chari'S Borromea, and many Hedrew, Syrian and Arabian and Armenian bibles. The whole of the buildings comprising the Vatican are filled with statues found beneath the ruins of ancient Rome, with paint ings by the masters, and with curious medals and antiquities of almost every description. • General Howard last week attack ed the hostile Oregon Indians at Beasley’s Mill. The Indians were about 400 strong. General Howard repulsed them three times, and was still fighting. He captured from 400 to 500 head of stock, together with provisions, amunition, etc. It is believed that the fight was with the main body of the hostile Indians iu Oregon. The Klamath Indians re main peaceable, but the settlers are alarmed by rumors which have been set afloat for some unknown purpose. The vigor ol the campaign is said to have averted the danger of a general Indian war in the Northwest. The Ideal Woman. If woman is God’s best gift to man would not the gift be more fully ap preciated and more generally ac knowledged if she w 7 ere able to cope with him in intellectual attainments ? The ideal woman of the present day Is of rare occuirence, and she ought to be regarded as an example worthy of imitation. She is. by her own sex ostracized, with the paltry excuse, “Too much masculine her views to pleuse us.” Is this retribution ? How 7 many society young ladies of to-day can converse with you a half hour on the classics, or even the stan dard writers of modern literature? Not one out of ten. While you may find them ready and earnest listeners in respect to some eloquent and, to you, interesting theme, you will have hardly ceased the narrative before your attention isealled to some new display of fashion. With this thought in mind is it to be wondered at that “Sarchedon” became a cynic? Can our libraies boast of a greater or more ennobling author than Shakespeare? And yet we are told that not only his works, but those of of Miltou are immoral, which I have no reason to deny if they w r ere read with a vie w only of ascertaining just the amount of immorality they do contain. Can we boast of greater men than those produced in the six teenth and seventeenth cenruries? And yet how utterly they are dis regarded by the average woman of to-day, whose only ambition seems to be the perusal of some “good old love story 1” But is she only to blame for the preference? No! It is'but just to attribute it partly to mail, who,, though unwilling to acknqwledgit,. has only been too lavish in his affec tion, until the individual woman hasj become so exalted that she not only considers herself able to cope witlr man, but far superior to him in intel lect. How untrue is this of the ideal wo man, the zealous worker, who every*, day becomes aware of ho w little" m 7 the vast sea of knowledge she has ac complished ! Then it is she becomes the true philosopher and realizes that “God’s universe is within the head, whether there be a torn skull cap or a king’s diadem.” A DemoraTzed Editor. An editor was sitting in his easy chair, bouyant in mind and heart, with the calm serenity and blissful tranquility that none but editors know. A shuffling sound at the door brought him back to earth, and facing nervously about, he beheld a man of deep, determined look, closing the door behind him. With a sickly feel ing of foreboding, the editor motion ed toward a chair, and gazed upon the intruder, helpless and breathless, resigned to meet the worst. The hand of the man wandered to ward his breast pocket. The editor’s cheek blanched and his lips turned blue. Alas! alas! he had guessed aright the dread mission of the stran ger. The man pulled out a bundle of let ters ond papers. The head of the ed itor fell forward upon his breast, and the hands dropped listless from the arms of his chair. “My errrnd is not a pleasant one,” said the visitor, speaking slowly. “Thank heaven!” exclaimed the editor, plucking up courage. “Out with it—suspense is worse than fate*” “I have an execution on your home,” continued the man, with pro fessional sadness. “ ihe mortgage has been foreclosed.” “Iloora! ha! ha!” roared the edi tor, springing up and nearly shaking the man’s arm off. “Heaven be prais ed! but what a scare you did give me ! Blister my corns if I didn’t think you had a chunk of spring poe try. Drive on—sell the old shanty— it’s a tat eaten barracks anywa*y, and rents are taken off my mind! Let’s hava your name and downs it goes for two years free subscription. You’re an angel in breeches, old fel low, but you don’t look it, darned if you do- Ha! ha! Cut your hair, man- cut your hair, and weara stand up collar. It will save your children sorrow.” Tlia Best Friend. Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered the snowflakes on her brow, and plowed deep furrows in her cheek, but isn’t she sweetly 1 ....utiful still? The lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed the hot tear from the childish cheek, and they are the sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim, but it glows with the soft radiance of holy love which can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother. It is true she sits waiting by the side of the grave; the sands of life have nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you, boy, tnan anyone upon earth. You can never mount a scaffold too high for her to reach, that she may kiss and bless you in evidence of her deathless love. When the world shall despise and forsake you; when it shall paint your faults so black that scarcely a redeeming virtue can be seen, when it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble arms and carry you home, where she will tell you of your virtues until you will for get that your soul is disfigured by sin. The best, most faithful of friends,love her tenderly, and cheer her declining years with holy devation. Mayor Angier, of Atlanta, could not find a young lady in that city who was willing to go to New York to christen the new steamer Gate City, which is soon to be launched by the Central Railroad. This does not speak well for the enterprise of the female portion of this progressive city. FACTS IV SCIENCE AND ART. IN SCIENCE, The Austrian gun-makers are cred ited with the ability to make bronze a* hard as steel, and as capable of lesfsting the wear and tear of rifled projectiles. Their last experiments with big guns are reported to show that the bore of tbe weapons, after some three hundred rounds had been fired, had sustainrd no injury at all, notwithstanding that comparatively heavy projectiles were used, with battering charges of gunpowder. lf*e composition of this metal is a f found secret, though no attempt been made to prevent its discov . Indeed, samples have been freji-ly distributed, and chemists have tfifed in vain to discover its mode of preparation by analysis. Its compo sition is known only to the inventor tliwself. the Engineering News recomends Ityisch’s sugar test for ascertaining presence of dangerous organic ■Batter in water used for drinking, wfofcll it says is mentioned by high as a simple and sufficient Place a quantity of water in a glass-stoppered bottle; add a few grains of pure sugar, and expose fbithe light in the window of a warm H>®m. If the water becomes turbid eVen after exposure for a week, re peat it, * If it remains clear it is safe. r IN ART. Among the notable w r orks in the Lcndon Academy of Art this year a series of five pictures by W. P. Frith, entitled “The Road to Ruin” have attracted unusual interest, as strong examples of dramatic art. The series, after the manner of Hogarth, tells the story of a gambler, who begins his downward course while an undergraduate living in sumptuous style at’Oxford. The first scene shows him with his boon compan ions after a night of dissipation. The second depicts him at the Ascot races, after he has come to his inheritance, surrounded by flattering friends of both sexes, and staking high on the favorite. In the third scene he is married, and is living in luxury with a lovely wife and beautiful children, but bankrupt in purse and credit, and on the point of being arrested foi* debt. The fourth view portrays him with his beggared family in a mean lodging in Belgium, where the ruined gambler is trying to retrieve his wasted fortunes by writing a drama. “Last scene of all,” the wretched man is shown in a miser able garret in London. The theat rical managers will not accept his drama. He is reduced to absolute want, and in his despair ends his miserable existence by suicide. The collection of Mr. Ruskin’s drawings now on exhibition in Lon don is naturally attracting a great deal of attention. The drawings serve, says The Athenieum, as a tol erably complete art-autobiogra phy, delineating the author’s pro gress in drawing from an early peri od of his life to the present day. The .series is rendered more interesting by a highly characteristic and in many respects intensely pathetic “catalogue.” The artist writes of himself, his aims, motives, powers, and temporary successes and fail ures. The examples include school maps and sketches made at twelve years of age; drawings made later in Venice, exhibiting marvellous deli cacy of touch and fine observation; studies in great variety, from a superb unfinished one of a gneiss rock to a view of “Calais Town Hall, Belfry and Lighthouse,” and a charming “Study Outside the South Gate of Florence.” The whole ex hibition, observes The Athenaeum, is charming, and not the less so because many of the later drawings betray in their incompleteness and peculiar manner of touch, sense of local color, and other elements, a certain degree of nervous irritability and exalted sensativeness hard to describe but very touching indeed. General Butler is making high bids for the nomination for the Pres idency from the National party. In his Fourth of July speech he asserted that he was a poor man. “All my property,” he said, “is either in this State, or in several business and in dustrial enterprises, a dozen more or less. I hold that as affairs now exist, the man is a poor man who has noth ing but what he has invested in in dustrial and business enterprises, and I therefore feel, I think rightfully, in common with the great mass of men in the country, the injustice and the wrong done to the business interests of the country by the present finan cial system and its management.” But he omitted to state that he is the owner also of considerable quantities of District of Columbia bonds, upon which Congress has guaranteed the interest. Ladies Fashion Notes* Vests for ladies are much in favor, as they do away with wraps in the street. Handsome embroidered French fichus have been reduced from S4O to sl2. Silver jewelry still continues in fa vor, and the finest of filagree work can- be found. Avery curious but perfect imitation of a black lace-covered fan is among the novelties. Linen hankerchiefs with bright colored dots are the latest novelty in lingerie at Stewart’s. There never was a greater variety of ruffling than at the present, and at exceedingly low prices. Fancy sun umbrellas of ecru pon gee, lined with dark colors, are very fashionable for gentleman this sum mer. USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. Soft soap should be kept iu a dry place iu the cellar and not be used until three months old. Kettles are clensed of onion and other odors by dissolving a teaspoon ful of pearlash or salratus in water and washing them. Flour and meal of all kinds should be kept in a cool, dry place. The best rice is large and- has a clear, fresh look. Old rice some times has little black insects inside the kernels. Wash your shelves down clean, and while damp, rub fine salt on them quite thick and let it remain on them for some time and red ants will disappear. Over 2,000 farmers in Maine, have taken hold of the beet sugar enter prise and are raising this root for the factory in that Stale. It is a dangerous thing, from a hy gienic point, to dig a collar in a wet soil. Better not have a cellar if you can’t be certain that it will be dry. It is said that the cut-worm never damages crops on land where sheep have been pastured the year before planting. Honey is now used iu preparing tobacco for market, and by brewers in making ale, and for medicinal, culinary and other purposes. Picture frames and glasses are pre served from flies by painting them with a brush dipped in a mixture made by boiling three or four onions iu a pint of water. Poison of almost any kind swallow ed will be instantly thrown from the stomach by drinking half a glass of water (warm is best,) in which has been stirred a tablespoonful of ground mustard; as soon as vomiting ceases, drink a cup of cold coffee, into which has been stirred the white of an egg. This nullifies any remnant which the mustard might have left. Potatoes require a good deal of pot ash, and farmers cannot make a mis take in applying to the land on which they are grown, either ashes or com mercial feltilizers that coutain a large percentage of potash. It comes cheapest in muriate of potash, being 50 per cent, of actual potash, and selling at $2.50 per hundred punds. Every farmer who has a small pond or lake on his farm, or a never failing spring, so situated that by damming up the gully or hollow be yond it a pond can be formed, may make an acre or two thus located the most profitable part of the premises by stocking the water with fish. A Cure For Drunkenness. The Scientific American contains an account of an experimental test of Liebig’s theory for the cure of habit ual drunkenness. The experiment consists of a simple change of diet, and was tried upon twenty-seven dif ferent persons, with satisfactory re sults. The diet proposed is farinac eous, and in the cases reported was composed of maccaroni, haricot, beans, dried peas and lentials. The dishes were made palatable by being thoroughly boiled and seasoned with butter and olive oil. Breads of a highly glutinous quality were used, care being taken to prevent their being soured in course of preparation. Liebig remarks that the disinclina tion for alcoholic stimulants, after partaking of such food, is due to the carboraneous starch contained there in, which renders unnecessary and distasteful the carbon of liquors. If this plau proves successful, it will be the medium ot effecting a more thorough reform than years of legis lative enactment or spasms of social work can possibly accomplish. In Europe the laborers are badly off. Hundreds of thousands are out of work, and aie begging from door to door.. Those who have work are poorly paid. The American Consul at Chemnitz, Saxony, reports to the Department of State that the destitu tion there is very great. Goods can be made cheaper in England and America, and many who were for mally in manufacturing goods by hand are now idle. Day laborers receive only thirty-three cents for ten hours’ work. The gov ernment pays less than three hun dred dollars a year to its employes, and laborers on railroads get less than one hundred and fifty dollars a year, all of which the political economist reckon as the fruits of the late war between the States. It is related as somewhat signi ficant now that just before ex-Presi dent Grant left Washington for the seaboard, preparatory to making his European trip, a friend in conversa tion with him said|: “General go out of the country and stay out three years, and then come back, and we will take off our coats and nominate and elect you President for a third term.” To this General Grant made the response between puffs, “Well, stranger things than that have hap pened.” The humane advocates of the whip ping post system of {civilizing man kind hereabouts, will doubt be de lighted at the first practical illustra tion of their mode in old Virginia, upon which State the law was forced by a Legislature that no more repre sented the people, on the subject tha n a lot of cannibals would have done. A Norfolk dispatch of the 15th says “the first man whipped under the law occurred at Hampton. A white sailor from Baltimore was convicted of stealing an anchor, and was whip ped by a negro constable.” SABBATH READING. GOOD THOUGHTS AND ACTS. Lest the cause of religion and be- ! nevoleuce should suffer, is it not the ! dictate ot Christian obligation that the scale of our personal expenses be lowered, in order that the scale of our liberality in giving may be great- j ly elevated ? No man is better save as he pays the price of his improvement. No man is better by living on spontane ous emotion. No man is better who does not fight in a battle that has a victory in it which crowns him with the merit and virtue of winning it. No words can describe the won derful and continually enlarging blessing which have been poured in to the souls of many of the children of God, through the simple, unreason ing taith which prays confidently and with ever increasing trust. The mystery of physical lifejis so vast that the heavens alone sufice to '.contain it, and yet it is found wrapt in the husk of the tiniest seed. It is equally problametieal that lips upon whioh the fingor ol" death has been laid are the most eloquent ol Heaven. llow often we feel and act as our mood were the atmosphere of the world. It may be a cold frost within us when our friend is in the glow of a summer sunset and we call him un sympathetic and unfeeling. If wo let him know the state of our world, we should see the rose-hues fade from his, and our friend put off his singing robes and sit down with us in sack cloth and ashes, to share our tempta tion and grief. A good minister once said, “I am very sensitive to the prayers of little children. I could think of no greater punishment than to loose the love of little children which proved him to be the in line ot apostolic succession from the great master, who said, “Sufi fer the little children to come unto me,” and who “took them up in His arms, put Ilis hands upon them and blessed them.’’ It is the spirit of ev ery true Minister of Christ SELFISHNESS IN RELIGION. The worst of all such places in which to disply it or to hide it ! A friend thus uttters a warning. I wish to ask those who miuistor daily at the alter, whether they sufficiently warn their hearers that it is as easy to be selfish in religion as in anything else, and that selfishness is the opposite of true religion ? I have often listened to the statements of professing Chris tians iu prayer meetings declaring how much they love Christ, because He has done so much for them, and is going at last to take them to a beautiful homo above, yet no work of caution was spoken that there is dan ger of trusting for salvation to a love founded on favors alone. llow nat ural for us to love those who love us: yet no conversion is necessary for such a love. Christ says, “For if we love them which love you, what re ward have ye ? Do not even the pub licans the same ?” We may be grate foil for favors without being selfish, but we cannot be selfish and at the same time grateful. If we would truly love God we must love Him for his goodness, which is an attribute of Ilis character, and is manifested not only to us, but to others also in purposes of justice to those who are lost. We must love Him not only iu the sunshine, but also in the shadow, when dark clouds prevent the blight shining of the sun. God alwcys re mains the same worthy object of love, whatever may be our condition in this life, or in that which is to come. If we are not saved it will not detract from Ilis goodness, or lessen our ob ligations to love Him. LORD MACAULAY ON THE SABBATH. Of course, I do not mean that a man will not produce more in a week by working seven days than by work ing six days. But I very much doubt whether, at the end of the year, he will generaly have produced more by working six days a week; and I firm ly believe that at the end of twenty years he will have produced less by working seven days a week than by working six days a week.
