WENT MB PAINT,
MIXED READY FOR USE.
Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, Eeonoin-

A roof may be covered with a very cheap shin
gle, and by application of this slate be made to last
from 20 to 25 years. Old roofs ean be patched and
coated, looking much l>ct ter, and lasting longer than
new shingles without the slate, for
One-Third the Cost of ReahiiigJing.
The expense of slating new shingles is only about
the cost of simply laying them. The paint is fire
proof against sparks of flying embers, as may be
easily tested by any one.
IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,
and for tin or iron has no equal, as;it expands by
heat, contracts by cold, and never cracks nor scales.
' Root's covered with 'far Sheathing Felt can be
made water-tight at a small expense, and preserved
fur many years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Uo gallons will cover a hundred square feet of
(L.-de roof, while on tin,iron, fell, matched boards,
;;my smootn surface, from two quarts to one gal
lon re required to 1(H) feet of square surface, and
iltliough the Paint has a heavy body it is easily ap
plied with a brush.
No Tnr is used in Ibis Composition.
therefore it neither cracks in winter, nor ruusiu
Summer.
On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores
and gives anew substantial roof that will last for
years. Cubed or warped shingles it brings to tlieir
places, and keeps them there. It fills up all liolea
in Felt roofs, stops the leaks—and although a slow
dryer, raiu does not affect it a few hours after ap
plying. As nearly all paints that are black contain
tar, be sure you obtaiu our genuine article, which
(for shingle roofs) is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
when first applied, clianginging in about a month
to a uniform slate color, and is to all intents and
purpose s Slate. On
TIN ROOFS
our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is
equal to five of any ordinary paint. For
BRICK WALLS
our bright BED is the only reliable Slate Paint ever
introduced that will effectually prevent dampness
from penetrating and discoloring the plaster.
These paints are also largely used on out-houses
and fences, or as a priming coat on fine buildings.
Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, Bright Bed,
auil Orange.

“I Can’t l*ct Acquainted With
the Member* of the Church.”
So said a lady who had recently
been admitted, by letter, into the
membership of a large church, to the
pastor.
“I am very sorry, my sister, was
the reply ; the members are general
ly considered quite friendly, and
there is much pleasant social inter
course among them.”
“Do you speak to them ?"’
“1 do not like to speak first. It
was so very different in the first
church I joined.”
“Where you passed the days of
your childhood and youth, you were,
of course, more widely known ; and
when you were baptized, it was a
more direct introduction to the Chris
tian sympathies and affections of
the church. Do you attend the
prayer meetings ?”
“No, 1 have nut been yet.”
“The best place to form acquain
tances among the members is at pray
er meetings. The Sabbath congre
gations are so large, and so many
strangers attend, that members can
scarcely become acquainted with
each other, if they meet only there.
But if yon are seen regularly at the
prayer meeting, you will soon be
recognized and welcomed.” Have
you been to the Dorcas Society ?
“Oh no ! Ido not like to go
where all are strangers to me.”
“But how are they to become ac
quainted with you, if you do not
give them an opportunity.” I hope
you have visited the Sabbath
School."
“No, I should like to take a class,
but have been waiting for an invita
tion.”
“My dear friend, do you not per
ceive that von are far more to blame
for remaining a comparative stran
ger among ns than the members of
of the chinch generally ean be ? You
are waiting for advances from those
to whom you give scarcely an op
portunity for friendly intercourse.
You give them no reason to think
that you desire an acquaintanceship.
Now, my advice to you is, attend
the more familiar meetings of the
church, manifest an interest m its
spirituality and prosperity, kindly
recognize any whom you know to
to be members, dispense with the
worldly courtesy which requires a
formal introduction to the disciples
of Jesus. If they remain indiffer
ent to you, the blame will then be
with them.”

The Eire Department parade in
Augusta on the Bth of May promi

nia. lie had been absent two days,
’and his wife supposed he was absent
on professional business. He was
found in his office, with his nose and

were doubtless killed by the poison
on his lips.
Harris county has lost another
one of her oldest and best citizens.
Judge M. C. Farley died at his res
idence, near Waverly Hall, on Fri
day, the 23d inst. The time of his
death is somewhat remarkable. Some
weeks ago lie told his friends that
he would die on his approaching
birthday, and so it was. The day
of his death was the 71st anniversa
ry of his birth.
Ilinesville Gazette: “One gentle
man from Appling county told me
he had sold $5,555 worth of trees to
the saw mills from the same num
ber of acres. Aot more than tw.enty
years ago these lots of land in Ap
pling and Wayne (at least some of
them! containing 490 acres each,
could he taken up for the fees of
of gran ting, which were about five
dollars per lot.”
The Governor has pardoned Wil
liam J. Duke, sentenced at the March
(adjourned) term of the Superior
Court of Butts county, in 1874, to
three years in the penitentiary, for
involuntary manslaughter in the com
mission of an unlawful act. Only
one week of the prisoners sentence
was unexpired. The pardon was in
response to reports of good conduct
and petitions of citizens.
A terrible cutting and shooting

uring seven inches in length. An
other was across the face, cutting
the nose in two. The other was in
the side, just below the ribs. In
turn Tom Collins, Sr., was shot three
times by his wounded antagonist,
one bali taking effect near the spine
and penetrating the lungs ; another
through the neck, and a thud in the
arm. Neither were dead at last ac

The Augusta Constitutionalist
gives the following account of the
escape of one of the wild denizens of
the circus menagerie : Those of our
citizens who have been present at the
zoological collection at the feeding
hour remember how voracious are
the animals, and especially the den
of panthers. Yesterday the guard,
at the usual hour, was going around
with the food, and on arriving in
front of the cage of panthers, threw
a piece of beef in with the long iron
fork used in feeding. One of the
animals seized the meat with both
paws and his teeth. But the meat
did not go through the bars, but the
panther held on to it as described,
while the other four made desperate
elforts to get hold of it All at once
the bar slipped from its position and
in an instant one of the panthers
sprang through tlie opening into the
crowd. Luckily the tray containing
the beef was sitting in front of the
cage, and the animal alighted on it
and began eating. A number of peo
ple were present, including ladies and
and children. As the panther left
the cage it leaped over the head of a
little boy, the son of Sileriff Sibley,
of tfiis city. In an instant, and
while it was eating the beef, the ani
mal was surronded and gathered hold
of by live or six men and held down
until the crowd could get out, when
m its struggles it freed itself and came
out in the yard. Mr. Barton the
young man who attends the animals,
quickly followed the animal, and,
gathering it by the tail, succeeded,
with the assistance of several others,
in getting a rope over its head and cho
king it into submission, when it was
carried back to the cage and secured.

The Protestant Methodists and
the Evangelical Lutherans of Geor

view, each body has appointed ten
commissioners to arrange a plan of
organic union.
Mr. San key ivill not help his cause
by permitting his twelve year old
son to address public meetings. The
babble of an immature child,no mat
ter how pious he is, is both unseemly
and unnatural.
It is a curious face, if true, that
two of the Presbyterian pastors in
Newark who vofedagainst Mr. See,
had the same women to address their
congregations for whose addresses in
Mr. See’s church he was disciplined.
As the late Dr. Brainard, of Phil

Chestnut street, a gentleman asked
him. “Sir. can you tell me how to

The Church Erection boards of
the various denominations are vital
to the general prosperity of the
Church. It is said that fifty Con

on an average, an impoitant cause
being that they have no church edi

There is to be a diocesan choir fes
tival held in Trinity Church, Boston,

toinsue numerous rehearsals, and to
prepare the chorus for effective work
at the time of the festival.
The oldest book in the library of
Harvard College is a Latin copy of
St. Jerome’s Epistlctu The book
has no date, and the onry clue to its
age was afforded by the discovery of
a printed bill charged for binding in
1470. It was printed in Strasboing,
probably in 1569, or perhaps carliea.
Calvary Baptist Church, m Wash
ington City, has a living and active
body of members. They now num
ber 500, of whom 140 were added
during the last year. The church
lias no debt, sustains a home Sunday
school of 270 scholars and two mis
sion schools containing 425 mem
bers.
A man named Louis Cohen, for

There is a complaint among some
of the Jews that their ministers do
not serve on the United Hebrew
Charities or indentify themselves
with any of their public institutions.
Once in a while some of the minis

only after an official request by the
authorities-
The Rev. George S. Boardman,
D. D., who died recently in Western
New York at an advanced age, had,
while in the Theological Seminary
at Princeton, as classmates, the Rev.
Dr. Charles Hodge, the Rt. Rev.
John Johns and the Rev. Wm. B.
Sprague. Dr Boardman was a man
of mark in his day, and having
fought a good fight has received his
crown.
Air. Spurgeon, speaking of cleri
cal throats, says : “I have heard
surgeons affirm that Dissenting bron
chitis differs from the Church of En
gland article. There is an ecclesias
tical twang which is much admired
in the Establishment—a sort of stee
pla-in-the-throat grandeur—an aris
tocratic, thcologic, parsonic, super
tural, infra-human mouthing of
language and rolling over of words, ’
The Pope has written a letter to
the bishops of Switzerland on the re
cent Old Catholic schism. He holds
that there cannot be established an
otner altar, nor anew priesthood
outside of the only altar and the on
ly priesthood divinely constructed,
lie professes the most ardent desire
for the return of these schismatics,
and urges the Church to offer cease
less prayers to God for his erring
children.
Christianity is making advances in
Spain. By the last reports we find
that there are thirteen societies at
work, with forty-nine missionaries
on the ground, besides native help-
ers. There are 90 stations and I,*
004 converts, 40 native students for
the ministry, aud 600 Sunday-school
scholars. The New Testament in
Japanese ivill soon be ready for cir
culation, and parts of the Old Tes
tament in the translator’s hands.
The New York training Schools
for Nurses is in active operation.—
Twelve nurses have been sent out
since May, and others will soon be
prepared to enter upon their work.
The receipts for the year 1875 were
$19,105.07 and the expenditures
$18,395,94. The demand for nur
ses in private families has been great
er than was expected, hut the scheme
to send them into the families of the
poor was not so successful.
The Moravin, one of the most an
cient and faithful churches in Chris
tendom, lias lately suffered severe
losses through hurricanes in the
West Indies an on the Mosquito
Coast. Scores of houses have been
swept away : schools, mission estab
lishments and churches have been
wholly destroyed, and they are in a
state of great pecuniary embarrass
ment. The case of this poor but
faithful body of Christians appeals
strongly to public liberality,
The Rev. Allen. 11. Brown, a son
of the late Silas Brown, an old mer
chant of New York,has spent the best
days of his life in carrying the Gos
pel throughout the “Pines” of
Now Jersey. Mr. Brown graduated
at Columbia College in 1839 and at
Princeton Theological Seminary in
1843. Retail honor be given to the
man who, turning away from the
blandishments of society and the
case of a city life, has in selfsacnfic
ing and humble work toiled among
the poor and ignorant,
Dr. Bellows writes feelingly on the
death of Henry B. Smith, D. D.,
Professor in the Union Theological
Seminary, Coming from one whose
theological views were directly op
posite to these of Professor Smith,
his sympathy will be appreciated.—
He concludes his notice thus ; We
feel poorer and humbler and sadder
now that New Yok lias lost such a
noble, full and sweet spirit, such a
ripe and generous scholar, such an
unaffected saint. We could better
have lost many millionaires than this
one Christian scholar. But God’s
ivill is best ; and so we bow our heads
to his decrees.”
From a Catholic exchange we cut
the following item: In a simple vil
lage Catholic Church at Raddatz, in
Prussia, a most remarkable pulpit
can be seen. Besides its exquisite
beauty and rich gilding, it has quite
a historical interest. Itis the trium
phal chariot of King John Sobieskie.
the hero who delivered Vienna in
1683 from the besieging Turks,—
The chariot was found among the
spoils left by the conquered Mussul
mans. Afterwards it was presented
by Field-marshal von Klcist to the
village Church, after which the
ccssary alterations were made to
change it to a pulpit.
A’Yunkee Boy.
A tourist tells the following story,
We recently met our friend, Dr.-
Lord, formerly of Boston. He has
been a resident of this section for
abouDsix years- He was extensive
ly engaged in buying wool, and on
one ocoasion, becoming bewildered
in multiplication of the roads over
the broad prairies, he rode up to a
small cabin in closed in a dumb of
locus trees, and addressed a white
headed boy perched on the top of a
lion’coop, with ;
“Hollow, hoy V*
“I reckon you’re a stranger,” was
the response.
“Look here, sonny.”
“I ain’t your sonny.”
“No, not my sonny, but if you
will jump down and come here, I
will give you a dime.’”
The boy sprang as if alighting
from a wasp's nest, and coming to
the stranger, exclaimed :
“We’ll old boss, what is it !”
“I’ve lost my way and don’t know
where I am. Can you tell me ?”
‘Yes ; on your horse.”
Mr, Lord laughed at the boy’s wit
and handed him a dime. The boy
took the money, and looking up with
mingled feelings of wonder and de
light, said :
“Reckon you must have a power
of money.”
“Why so, my boy ?”
“Cause you slather it away so.”
“What’s your father’s name ?”
inquired Mr. Lord.
“Bill Jenks,” was the reply.
“Ah ! yes, I know him,” exclaim
ed Mr. % Lord. “He grows wool,
doesn’t he ?”
“No, but his sheep does.”
“If you knew me, my lad, you
would be more respectful in your re
plies. lam a friend of your farth
er’s my name is Lord.”
“Oh ! yes,” exclaimed the aston
ished lad ; “I heard pap read about
you in the Bible.”
And starting off for the house on
a dead run, bawled at the top of his
lungs :
“.Mother, mother, the Lord is
out here on horseback, an has lost
his way!”—Texas Paper.
On Thursday night last, in the
