[LONOFELLOW.1 T heard the hells od Christmas da; Taelr o'd laminar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace oa earth, good will to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Chrlsleudom R%d rolled aloDg Toe unbroken song O; peace on earth, good will to men! Till ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime, Ot peace on eartn, good will to men I But In despair I bowed my head, “There Is no peace on *arth,” 1 said; ‘ For bate Is strong, And mocks the song Ol peace on earth, good will to men!” Then pealed the bells more loud and deep, “God Is not dead, nor doth be sleepl The wrong shall fail. The right prevail. With peace on earth, good will to men!” Quebec Items. Dear Mother Hubbard-. I don’t consider the Household department should be filled up with news items, and yet I feel tempted to give a few items relating to Quebec. In the first place, I may tell my Southern friends that cold, stern winter is here, and we, but too keenly, feel the severity of his despotic reign. The ground is covered with snow. Ail vehi cles running on wheels are laid up for the winter—nothing to be seen now but sleighs. The lakes and rivers are frozen. And, though our great St. Lawrence is not yet bridged over, tbe river is fuil of floating ice. Naviga tion has been suspended for the winter. No craft now to be seen, unless the ferry boats, which still ply across the river. And the Ferry Company will do their best to break up the ice and keep a passage for the boats as long as they can. Oar winters here are tbe gay seasons for those who have the means to enjoy the varied pleasures of select parties, theaters, balls, concerts, sleighing, the club tandems, skating, curling, etc. But it is a hard time on the poor who have no work nor money, and food and firewood to be provided. We have the Salvation Army here—a French party and an English speaking party. The Salvationists march out with drums, cornets, tamborines, etc. The bigoted rabble mob have on many occasions stoned the few men and women, treating them most savagely. Several of them have had broken bones and cut heads, the French-Canadians being the chief actors in these brutal attacks; so much bo that many of the manly Irish R. C’s stood up for the de fense of the ill-treated females. Latterly a few hundred protestants turned out, to pro tect the Salvation women. The result was a collision with tbe thousands of both French and Irish. Seme were badly beaten. A few influential citizens have prevailed on the Sal vation Army to keep within their barracks until it be decided by law whether their march ing oat be legal or not. If legal they shall be protected at any cosi;if no’, then they must not march out with banners, drums, etc. Rosa Alba, I regret very much my want of discernment in not alluding to you as an ap preciated member of our Household. I have from time to time alluded to many of the fam ily, but not the whole of them. Many of my sisters, and some of my brothers, have writ ten to me, and by so doing I have got into a closer intimacy with them than I could through ^>e columns of the Household. I hope ail of uny intimate Southern friends will continue their past professions of friendship. I have now to make a disclosure. I have published a S lection of my poems, and shall 0)9 glad if my Southern friends patronize mein my first appearance before the public as an author. The boft< j g nicely bound, contains :three j nn dred and fifteen printed pages, and uas two hundred and thirty-seven poems and sonnets. I hope there is nothing in my book to offend any one. For so far the opinions of the press have been most favorable. The price is §1 25, or four books for $5. For such sum I will post it to any address I may re ceive. Any profits arising from the sale will be devoted to charity or God’s cause. I am as ever, Veritas. Or dropping my nom, S. Moore. Box 74, P. O. St. Roch’s, Quebec. Som9 Questions Answered. Immutable, I answer yours first. I have noted the rough appearance on the pictures of some of the great masters. The reason is probably that many of the famous painters did not finish all their works. Raphael’s mas terpiece in the Vatican gallery at Rome is un finished. Several of Murillo’s pictures also are in the rough State. Some fine works have been spoiled by so called restorers or cleaners. They should be called destroyers, for they have ruined many splendid pictures. Taking the canvasses from their frames and rolling them up may have damaged some of them. Tbe reason the works of the old masters are so highly prized is on account of their general excellence. They have never been surpassed and probably never will be. There was but one Michael Angelo, Raphael, Coreggio, Titian and Paul Veronese. Martha B., of Tuscaloosa, Ala., if your father’s violin is a genuine Stradivarius it is very valuable. But it is very likely a “coun terfeit." The violins made by Guanerius, Stradivarius and Amati are held by people who would not part with them for love or money. August Gemunder, Bowery near 8th street, New York, is the best repairer that I knew of. Vieuxtemps, of Paris, was the best modern maker of violins. He imitated the old makers so cleverly that Paganini could not tell the difference between one made by him and one made by Guanerius. Hoff, of Berlin, makes a good violin; so does Gemunder, of New York, mentioned above. It is no proof that a vioiin was made by Stradivarius—if his name is stampsd inside. There are plenty in the old pawn shops ir. New 5 ork, and they can be purchased at from two to ten dollars. Capt. J. S. B., of New Orleans, many South ern ladies were imprisoned during the civil war between the States, for political offenses. There were two prisons that went under the name of the “Old Capitol." One was the “Old Capitol" proper; the other was the ’Carro-l Place ’' in this the ladies were incarcerated— manv’of them for very slight reasons. I once saw a respectable lady arrested for waving her handkerchief at the prisoners who appeared at the barred windows of the ‘Old Capitol. No, I cannot give their names for very satis factory reasons. „ _ , “Melissa, of Tuscumbia, Miss., the leach Blow Vase was purchased at the Morgan sale by Mr. Walters, of Baltimore, for -515,000. A gentleman from Canada was the purchaserof Breton’s “First Communion,” for 542,000 The only genuine Raphael was the “Madonna dei Candelabri” that I remember being exhib ited in tbe Art Museum in New York. It was valued at 9100,000, and was the property of Mr. Munroe Butler Johnston, of England, who generously lent it to the museum for one year Miss Wolfe’s pictures are now on exhibition. I saw them on election day. It was the sec ond day of the opening of the Exhibition, and I could not make any notes of them. I will visit the gallery again very soon and tell you and the rest of the readers of the Scknt South all about them. I will answer tbe other readers who have written me by private letters. I wish all my friends and readers of the Sunnt South a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Ira Jokes. Newark, N. J. Flora’s Floss Spun at Intervals. Now, Col. Seals, I protest against such praise as you give Mrs. Wilson. My first novel was “St. Elmo,” and I read it with the aid of Grandma and Lampriere’s Classical Dictionary. Yon see I was liberally educated when I finished. Grandma was one of the most intellectual women I ever met, and knew exactly how to put her thoughts in language; and, after con- s llting the dictionary, I would get her to tell me what other writers had said on the subject. “Beulah" I didn’t care so much for, and I got mad with “Vashti" at first, and only a sequel will put me in a good humor. Of course when she finds this out it will be issued immediately, if not sooner. I have tried time after time to tell you all of my summer trip, but I can’t decide whereto begin. I had a most pleasant time, from the minute I surreptitiously wiped the tears—that the good-byes of the home folks called up— from my eyes and viewed my companions. It is always my luck to get just back of a bride and groom; and then I get sick (maybe from envy), that some one is not paying my fare and buying everything that is brought on the triin. From Fernandina to Charleston I went by the Clyde line, and for once I had no bridal couple. How I did enjoy that part of my trip! A nice guardian and no sea sick ness; then tbe day spent in Charleston. All abiut we went; saw the bolts and bars to keep .he houses up; saw many ruins, and mourned over the wrecks. I then bade my friends adieu, started for bumter, and could not get the train to move fast enough forme. Two sweet-faced “sis- ters just back of me admonished me to be patient. I felt ashamed, but I never d ; d feel patient. In my album of memories I often see sister Agatha and her brown-eyed companion. I stayed ever so long at Sumter, and was constantly with one of our dearest Southern Householders. Home duties interfere with her now. One day, while flying down the hall of the Jervey House, I was stopped, introduced to one of the chess players of the Sunny South and marched right on. I wonder if A V. B. remembers me From there I went to Georgia, and of all dis- gusting places the waiting room at Augusta is the most so. I saw one of the Householders married, and ^LV g , ay ,V me ’ to «- I failed to reach the hopes 0 y ’ 1 m S ° rry t0 8ay; but 1 wiU live in u te T » 8 of the bears. We have them for true. Last week Mr. Jones set his gun for one, not two hundred yards from “the camp; I listened every night for the gun, but *? ry - Ever T morning we would th T was 1116 track where he crossed the road, and the sand on the fence. Better luck next time, we'd say, and try again. Saturday afternoon I played bear Mr. Jones took tbe load out, set the gun, and I crossed the fence. Snap 1 went the gun, and we decided it was right. Sunday morning we heard the gun and as soon as light enough we went to see about it. He went ever so far be- fore he fell dead. You know they die going* never stop, if they do they prop themselves agamst a tree. There is something human about them. 6 Darkies have strange ideas; I overheard Scott say: “Well grandpa, you never is to teck no mo pigs.” Justine told me that they are Hagtr’s children. Owls, they say, are old pBople returned. Transmigration reversed, I suppose. We were going to the sugar boiling the other night and mention was made of a girl who was hurt severely and disfigured muchly on the eve of her marriage. I wondered if it took placet Another said of course, for “Love is not love that alterations find.” Another said, if she sued the city and got a handsome sum for the accident, otherwise he skipped. B/ that time we were at the mill and let the subject drop. Don’t you wish wa’d got there sooner? Yellow Jasmine, we are all waiting for the letter. N. L. B., the papars tell us that winter is here—in this summer land I’m not prepared to say. I know the letter hasn’t come. Susie Steel, write soon. May Belle Carmen, I miss you. There is a callow youth in our band named “Give Away;’’ he is a merechildand indulges in the wildest dreams. When a little boy, his fond parents earnestly tried to uproot a noxious weed in his little heart, but I am sorry to see that they failed. Eighteen hundred and eighty-seven is near ly gone, and soon another year will be upon us. This has been full of rich experience to me. I have viewed life from many stand points and am sorry to prepare to say fare well. Joy and sorrow came to all of us. We must live not for self and prepare for a pro gressive life, not one that “will not copy fair the past.” Fate is ironical and we little know what is in store for us; let us, therefore, pre • pare to meet the shadowy future boldly and make beautiful this dying year, pursuing the good and true. Oemff of Cljoufffjt. Some critics are like chimney-sweepers— they put out the fire below or frighten tbe swal ows from their neeia above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with »oot, and bling nothing away bat a bag of cindt ra, and then sing from the top of the house as if they had built iL—Longfellow. The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowledge leaves off and ig norance begins.—Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. The grandest and truest and sweetest things are always hints—no more. The minute yon try to be literal and explicit with them they are gone. You cannot argue or explain tbe things of the spirit.—Jfrs. A. D. T. Whitney. You dream of national unity; you might as well strive to melt the stars down into one nugget and stamp them small into coin with one Csesar’s face.—Ruskin. He who tbioks argument consists in hard words will find himself knocked down with ridicule. He who thinks abuse logic is like one spitting against the wind, for it comes back in the face.—Orme. The word knowledge, strictly employed, im plies three things, viz : truth, proof and con viction.—Whately. Troubles spring from idleness, and grievous toils from needless ease.—B Franklin. Frugal and industrious men are friendly to the established governments, as the idle and expensive are dangerous.—Sir W. Temple. Our own being furnishes us with an evident and incontestable proof of a Deity, and I be lieve nobmdy can avoid the cogency of it who will carefully attend to it—Locke. The innocence of the intention abates noth ing of the mischief of the example.— Robert Hcdl. Frugality may be termed the daughter of prudence, the sister of temperance and the pa rent of liberty.—Dr. Johnson. A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too cu rious in observing the labor of the bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.—Pope. Politeness is not in manners, but in acts; not in common courtesies, but in appreciated attentions.—Orme. Curious fan#.

A Sad Case of Poisoning is that of any man or woman afflicted with disease or derangement of the liver, resulting in poisonous accumulations in the blood, scro fulous affections, sick-headaches, and diseas es of the kidLeys, lungs or heart. These troubles can be cured only by going to the primary cause, and putting the liver in a heal thy condition To accomplish this result speedily and effectually nothing has proved it self so efficacious as Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Med cal Discovery,” which has never failed to do the work claimed for it, and never will. Justice Grey is one of the most interesting men on the Supreme Court Bench. He is bright at repartee, a good reconteur, and he is a genial host. He is fond of French novels, and is said to read from six to ten of these a week. His singular looking house oa the corner of Sixteenth aud I streets is rapidly nearing completion. As Justice Grey is a bachelor, Washington gossips are wondering why he has built so pretentious a mansion. The report that he is engaged to Miss Van Vechteu, of Albany, is said to be unfounded. Hinging; Noises In the ears, sometimes a roaring, buzzing sound, are caused by catarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and very common disease. Loss of smell or hearing also result from catarrh. Hood’s Sa.r sap a- ilia, the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful remedy for this dis ease, which it cures by purifying the blood. If you suffer from catarrh, try Hood’s Sarsapa rilla, the peculiar mednine. Meet Maibob Ali Khan is the signature of the Nyzwn of Hyderabad's letter to the Anglo- Indian government sending 50,000,000 for fron tier defenses. The Prince concludes his com munication with these words: “This is my offer in the time of peace. At a later stage you can count upon my sword.” A sparrow hopped on a pile ot clams in an Oxford (Pa.) restaurant the other day. and was suddenly imprisoned by one of the bivalves, which closed its shell together over the bird’s foot. A horse at Reading, Pa., stepped upon a lit tle dog that was in the street, but immediately bending down bis head, began licking the lit tle sufferer, and uttered sounds of genuine sor row. One of the sights at Buffalo is the Cyclone, a huge pneumatic grain transfer barge. It looks like a gigantic hopper on a raft. It is sa d that by means of an air exhaust it can elevate 200 bushels a minute, which is very much more than the ordinary elevator can do. Keeper Judson of the Stratford lighthouse near Bridgeport, Ct., has a cocker spaniel dog that has become an expert fish catcher. He took up the sport of his own notion, and pur sues it regularly and enthusiastically. The other day he carried to his master a two and one-half pound eel. A merchant of Merrill, Wis., has adopted a novel and succescful method of advertising. He took his old white cow, plastered her over from head to heels with advertisements, and set her at large in the streets of the town. The schooner M. A. Boston recently brought to Gloucester from La Have banks a most pe culiar sea monster, unlike anything evi r seen by the oldest fisherman there. It was four feet long and five inches thick; had one dorstl fin extending the whole length of its back; and a triangular-shaped head, the lower jaw extend ing two inches beyond the upper. Both jaws are armed with very sharp teeth. The upper jaw had three long prongs at the extreme tip. This queer fish will be sent to the Smithsonian Institute. The grave of a Viking was opened recently, and in it was found the skeleton of the old warrior, who had evidently been buried in a sitting posture, with his face to the west He had been clad in a woollen coat, clasped with a golden clasp, and belted with a leather belt, with two gold buckles. Over his lap lay a wood en shield covered with bronze and rimmed with iron, and by his side in a wooden scab- baid was a two-edged iron sword, thirty inch es long, and near it were an iron dagger and spear. At his feet was a bucket of wood and bronze, such as the Saxons used to carry on their warships. Paisley handkerchiefs were first made in 1743. The first public school for the blind was es tablished at Paris, by Valentine Haug, in 1784. The first sea fight on leeord was that be tween the Corinthians and the inhabitants of Corcyra, 664 B. C. Before tbe middle of the seventeenth centu ry, tea was not used in England, and was en tirely unknown to tbe Greeks and Romans. Deeds in England were formerly written in Latin or French; the earliest known instance in English is the indentnre between the abbot of Whitby and Robert Bustard, dated at York in TALMAGE’S SERMON. Brookltn, December 18—At the Taberna cle this morning the whole congregation sang the hymn beginning: “The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets." The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., preached on “Recreations, Good and Bad," two texts: I Corinthians, chapter 7, verse 31, “They that use this world, as not abusing it,” and Judges, chapter 16, verse 25, “And itcame to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, ‘Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. ’ And they called for Samson out of the prison house, and he made them sport." Dr. Talmage said: We are entering the gayest season of the year. The winter opens before us the gates of a thousand amusements, some of them good and some bad. One of my texts will show you that amusements may be destructive, my other text will show you that amusements may be under the Divine blessing and direc tion. There were three thousand people assembled in the temple of Dragon. They had assembled to make sport of eyeless Samson. They were ready for the entertainment. They began to clap and pound impatient for the amusement to begin, and they cried, ‘ Fetch him out! Fetch him out!” Yonder, I see the blind old giant coming, led by the hand of a child into the very midst of the temple. At first appear ance there goes up a shout of laughter and de rision. The blind old giant pretends he is tired, and wants to rest himself against the pillars of the house; so he says to the lad who leads him, “Show me where the main pillarB are." The lad does so. Then the strong man puts his right Sand on one pillar and his left hand on another pillar, and, with tbe mightiest push that mortal ever made, throws himself forward until the whole house comes down in a thunderous crash, grinding the audience like grapes in a wine press. “And so it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said,‘Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. ’ And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport.” In other words: There are amusements that are destructive, and bring down disaster apd death upon the heads of those who practice them. While they laugh and cheer, they die. The three thousand who perished that day in Gaza are as nothing compared with the tens of thousands who have been destroyed by sinful amusements. But the other text I have read implies that there is a lawful use of the world as well as an unlawful abuse of it, and the difference be tween the man Christian and the man un- Christian is, that in the former case the man masters the world, while in the latter ease the world masters him. For whom did God make this grand aud beautiful world? For whom this wonderful expenditure of color, this gracefulness of line, this mosaic of the ground, this fresco of the sky, this glowing fruitage of the orchard and vineyard, this full orchestra of the tempest, in which the tree branches flute and the winds trumpet, and the thun ders drum, and all tbe splendors of the earth and sky come clashing their symbals? For whom did God spring tbe arched bridge of colors resting upon tbe buttresses of broken storm-cloud? For whom did he gather the upholstery of fire around the window of the setting sun? Fot all men, but more especial ly for hi&owcl Il Vr children. If you build a large mansion, and spread: a great feast after it to celebrate the completion of the structure, do yea allow strangera to- some in and occupy the place while you thrust your own children in the kitchen or the barn or the fields? Oh no. Yon say, “I am very glad to see strangers in my mansion, but my own sons anddaughters shall have the first fight there." Now, God has built this grand mansion of a woiHd; aud He has spread a.glo rious feast in it;: and while those who are strangers to His grace may come in, I think that God especially intends to give the advan tage to His own children, those who are tne sons aud the daughters of the Lord Almighty, those who through grace ean look up and say: “Abba. Father."' You cannot make me be lieve that God gives- more advantages to the world than He gives to the church bought by His own blood. If,, therefore, people of the wor d have looked with dolorous sympathy upon those who make profession of religion, aud have said, “Those new conver s are going down into privation and into hardship. Why did not they tarry, a little longer in the world, 1343. Whal is known in English history as the | and have some of its enjoyments and amuse- “short-lived” administration, was the minis- , ments and recreations?’’ I say to such men try which William Pooltena.v, Eaal of Bath, ; - - — undertook to form Feb. 10, 1746, and whose term of office closed in two years. England obtained formal possession of Gi braltar by the treaty of Utrecht, April 11,1713; The grea . fortress had been taken from the Spaniards by the English nine years before, and held, in spite of repeated attempts at re capture. The people of Thessaly were the first prob ably among the Greeks who broke horses for service in war, and the proficiency of those people as equestrians gave rise to the ancient myth that their country was originally inhabi ted by Centaurs.

Consumption, Scrofula, General Debility, Wasting Diseases af Children, Chronic Coughs and Bronchitis, can be cured by the use of Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cad Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Prominent physicians use it and testify to its great value. Please read the following: “I used Scott’s Emulsion for an obstinate Cough with Hemorrhage.

Y. of the world, “You are greatly mistaken,” and before I get through I will show that those people wno stay out of the kingdom of God have the hardships and self denials, while those who come in have the joys and the sat isfactions. This morning, in. the name of the King of heaven and earth, I serve a writ of: ejection upon all the sinful and polluted who have squatted on the domain of earthly pleasures as though it belonged to them, while I claim, in behalf of the good and the pure and the true, the eternal inheritance which God has given them. Hitherto, Christian philanthropists, clerical and lay, have busied themselves chiefly in de nouncing sinful recreations; but I fsel we have- no right to stand before men and women in whose hearts there is a desire for recreation amounting to positive necessity,, denouncing this and that and the other thing, when we do not propose to give them something bet or. God helping me this morning, and with refer ence to my last account, I shall enter upon, a sphere not usuai in sermonizing, but a sub ject which 1 think ought to be presented at this time. I propose now to lay before you some of the recreations which are not only in nocent, but positively helpful and advanta geous. In the first place, I commend, among indoor recreations, music, vocal and instrumental. Among the first things created was the- bird, so that the earth might have music at the start. This world, which began with so sweet a serenade, is finally to be demolished amidst the ringing blast of the archangel’s trumpet, so that as there was music at the start, there shall be music at the close. While this heav enly art has often been dragged into tbe uses of superstition and d ssipation, we all know it may be tbe means of high moral culture. Oh, it is a grand thing to have our children brought up amidst the sound of cultured voices and amidst the melody of musical in struments. There is in this art an indescriba ble fascination for the housahold. Let all those families who have the means to afford it, have flute or harp, or piano or organ. As soon as the hand is large enough to compass the keys, teach it how to pick out the melody. Let ail the young men try this heavenly art upon their nature. Those who have gone into it fully have found in it illimitable recreation and amusement. Dark days, stormy nights, seasons of sickness, business disasters, will do little towaid depressing the soul which can gallop over musical keys or soar in j ubilant lay. It will cure pain. It will rest fatigue. It will quell passion. It will revive health. It will reclaim dissipation. It will strengthen the immortal soul. In the battle of Waterloo, Wellington saw that the Highlanders were falling back: He said. “What is the matter there?” He was told that the band of music had ceased playing, and he called up the pip ers and ordered them to strike up an inspirit ing air; and no sooner did they stiike the air than the ikghlacders were rallied, and helped to win the day. Oh, ye who have been routed in the confl cts of life, try by the force of music to rally your scattered battalions. 1 am glad to know that in our great cities there is hardly a night in which there are not concerts, where with the best musical instru ments and the sweetest voices, people may find entertainment- Patronize such entertain ments when they are afforded you. Buy sea son tickets, if you can, for the “Philharmo nic" and the‘Handel and Haydn" societies. Feel that the dollar and a half or two dollars that you spend for the purpose of hearing an artist play or sing is a profitable investment. Let yonr S einway balls and academies of music roar with the acclamation of apprecia tive audiences assembled at the concert or the oratorio. Still fur. her: I commend, as worthy of their support, the gymnasium. This institution is gaining in favor every year, and I know of nothing more free from dissipation or more calculated to recuperate the physical and men tal energies. While there are a good many people who have employed this institution, there are a vast number who are ignorant of its excellencies. There are men with cramped chests and weak aides and despondent spirits who, through the gymnasium, might be roused up to exuberance and exhilaration of life There are many Christian people despondent from year to year who might, through such an institution, be benefitted in their spiritual re latione. There are Christian people wno seem to think that it is a good sign to be poorly; and because Richard Baxter and Robert Hall were invalids, they think that by the same sickness they may come to the same grandenr of character. I want to tell the Christian peo ple of my congregation that God will hold you responsible for j our invalidism if it is your fault, and when through right exercise and prudence you might be athletic and well. The effect of the body on the sonl you acknowl edge. Put a man of mild disposition upon the animal diet of which the Indian partakes, and in a little while the blood will change its chem ical proportions. It will become like unto the blood of the lion or the tiger or the bear, while his disposition will change and become fierce, cruel and unrelenting. The body has a pow erful effec; upon the soul. There are good people whose ideas of Hea ven are all shut out wi‘h clouds of tobacco smoke. There are people who dare to shatter the physical vase in which God has put the jewel of eternity. There are men with great nearts and intellects in bodies worn out by their own neglects—magnificent machinery capable of propelling a Great Eastern across the Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety North River propeller. Martin Luther was so mighty for God, first, because he had a noble soul, and, secondly, because he bad a muscular de velopment which would have enabled him to thrash any five of his persecutors if it had been Christian so to do. Ph}sical development which merely shows itself in fabulous lifting, or in perilous rope-walking, or in pugilistic en- cointer excites only our contempt; but we confess to great admiration for the man who has a great soul in an athletic body, every nerve, muscle and bone of which is conse crated to right uses. Oh! it seems to me out rageous that men, through neglect, should al low their phsical health to godowi beyond re pair. A ship which ought, with all sail set and every man at bis post, to be carrying a rich cargo for eternity, employing ail its men in stopping up leakages! When you may, through the gymnasium, work off your spleen and querulousDess and one-balf of yonr phys ical aLd mental ailments, do not turn your back upon such a grand medicament. Still further: I commend to yon a large class of parlor games and recreations. There is a way of making our homes a hundred- fold more attractive than they are now. Those pa rents cannot expect to keep their children away from outside dissipations unless they make the domestic circle brighter than any thing they can find outside of it. Do not, then, sit in your home surly and unsympa thetic, and with a half condemnatory look, because of the sportfulness of your children. You were young once yourself; let your chil dren be young. Because your eyes are dim and your ankles are stiff, do not denounce sportfulDess in those upon whose eyes there is the first lustre aud in whose foot there is the bounding joy of robust health. I tbank God that in our drawing-rooms and in our parlors there are innumerable games and sports which have not upon them the least taint of iniquity. Light up ali your homes with innocent hilari ties. Do not sit down with the rheumatism wondering how children can go on so. Rather tbank God that their hearts are so light and their laughter is so free, and that their >heeka are so ruddy and their expectations are so ra diant. The night will come soon enough, and the heart break, and’ the pang, and the desola tion—it will come soon enough for the dear children. But when the storm actually cJonds the sky it will be time enough for you to haul out your reef tackles. Carry, then, into your own homes not only the innocent sports- and games which are the inventions of our own day, but the games which come down with the sportfulness of all the past ages—chess,, and charades, and tab leaux, and battledore, and calisthenics, and lawn-tennis, and all'those amusements which tbe young people of our homee know so well how to contrive. Then there will be the par lor socialities—groups of people assembleddn jour homes, with wit and mimicry and jovial ity filling the room with joy from door to man tel and from the carpet to the ceiling. Ob, is there any exhilaration like a score of genial souls in one room, each one adding a contri bution of his own individual merriment to the aggregation of general hilarity ? Suppose you want to go abroad in the city, then you will find the panorama and the art galleries and the exquisite collections of pic tures. You will find the Metropolitan muse um. and the historical society rooms full of rare curiosities, and scores of places which can stand plainly the test of what is right and wrong in amusements. You will find the lec turing hall, which has- been honored by the names of Agas'iz in natural history. Deremus in chemistrj, Boynton in geology, Mitchell in astronomy, John B (Sough in moral reform, and scores and hundreds of men who have poured their wit and genius and ingenuity through that particular channel upon the hearts and consciences and imaginations of man, setting this country fifty years farther in advance than it would have been without the lecture platform. I rejoice in the popolarization of: outdoor sports. I hail the croquet ground and tbe fish erman’s rod, and the sportsman’s gun. In our cities life is so unhealthy and unnatural that when a census-taker represents a city as having four hundred thousand inhabitants, there are only two hundred thousand, since it takes at least two> men to amount to one man, so depleting and unnerving, and ex. : hausting is this metropolitan life. We want more fresh air, more sunlight, more ef the abandon of field-sports. I try out for it in be half of the church of God as well; as in behalf of secular interests. I wish that this winter our ponds and our rivers and our Capitoline grounds might be all equake with the heel and the shout of the swift skater. 1 wish that when the warm, weather comes,, the graceful oar might dip the stream, and the evening- tide be resonant with boatman’s song, the bright prow splitting the crystalline billow. We shall have the smooth ana grassy lawn, and we will call out people of all occupations and professions, and ask them to join in the ball-player’s sport You will come back from these outdoor exercises and recreations with strength ia your arm, and color in your theek, and a flash, in your eye, and courage in yonr heart. In this great battle that is evening attains; the kingdom of darkness we want not only the consecrated soul, but a strong arm aud stout lungs and mighty muscle. I bless God that there are so many recreations that have not on them any taint of iniquity; recre ations in which we may engage for the strengthening of the body, for the clearing of the intellect, for the illumination of the soul. There is still another form of recreation which I commend to you, and that is the pleasure of doing good. I have seen young men, weak and cross and sour and repelling in their disposition, who by one heavenly touch have wakened up and become blessed and buoyant, the ground under their feet and the sky over their heads breaking forth into music. “Oh,” says some young man in the house to day, “I should like that recreation above all others, but I have not the means.” My dear brother, let us take an account of stock this morning. You have a large estate, if you only realize it. Two hands. Two feet. You will have, perhaps, during the next year at least ten dollars for charitable contribution. You will have twenty-five hundred cheerful looks, if you want to employ them. You will have five thousand pleasant words, if you want to speak them. Now what an amonnt that U to start with! Yon go out to-morrow morning and you see a case of real destitution by the wayside. You give him two cents. The blind man hears tbe pennies rattle in his hat, and he says: “Thank you, sir; God bless you.” You pass down the street, trying to look indifferen:; but you feel from the very depth of your soul a profound satisfaction that you made that man happy. You go on still farther, and find a poor boy with a wheelbarrow, trying to get it uo on the curbstone. He fails in the attemDt. You say; “Stand back, my lad; let me try.” You push it up on the curbstone for him, and pass on. He wonders who that well-dressed man was that helped him. Yon did a kindness to the boy, but you did a great joy to your own soul. You will not get over it all the week. On the street, tomorrow morning, you will see » sick man passing along. “Ah,”.you sav, “what ean I do to make tbis-man. happy? Ha certainly does not want money; he is not poor, but he is sick ” Give him one of those twenty- five hundred cheerful looks that yon have gar nered up for the whole year. Look joy and hopefulness into his soul. It will thrill him through, and there will be a reaction upon yonr own sonl. Going a little farther on, yon will oome to tbe store of a friend who is embarrass ed in bnsiness matters. Yon will go in and say, “What a fine store yon have! I think business will brighten np, and you will have more custom after a while. I think there is coming a great prosperity to all the county. Good morniDg.” You pass out You have helped that young man, and you have helped yonrself. And that night yon go home; yon sit by the fire, yon talk a little, yon sing a little, yon laugh a little; yon say, “I really don’t know what is the matter with me. never felt so splendidly in my life." I will tell yon what is the matter with you. You spent only two cents oat of the ten dollars yon have contributed one out of twenty-five hundred cheerful looks; you have given ten fifteen or twenty of the five thousand pleasant words yon are goiDg to speak during the year, you have with your own bands, helped the boy with the wheelbarrow, and you feel in body, mind and soul the thrill of that recrea tion. Which do you think was the happier— Colonel Gardiner, who sat with his elbow on a table spread with all evtravagant viands, look ing ofi at a dog on the rug, saying, “How 1 would like to change places with him; I be the dog and he be Colonel Gardiner;” or choose two Moravian missionaries who wanted to go into the lazaretto for the sak* of attending the sick, and they were told, “If you go in there, you will never come out. We never allow any one to come out, for he would bring the conta gion." Then they made their wills and went iu, first to help the sick, and then to die. Which was the happier—Colonel Gardiner, or the Moravian missionaries dying for others? Was it all sacrifice when the missionaries wanted to briDg the gospel to the negroes at the Barbadoes, aud, being denied the privi lege, sold themselves into slavery, standing side by side, and lying side by side down in the very ditch of suffering, in order that they might bring those men np to life and God and heaven? Oh, there is a thrill in the joy of doing good! It is the most magnificent recrea tion ot which a man ever puts his hand or his head or big heart. But, before closing, I want to impress upon you that mere secular entertainments are not a fit foundation for your soul to build on. I was reading of a woman who had gone all the rounds of sinful amusement, and she came to die. See said, ‘T will die tonight at six o’clock ” “Oh,” they said, “I guess not, you don’t seem to be sick.” “I shall die at six o’clock, and my soul will be lost. I know it will be lost. I have sinned away my day of grace.” The noon came. They desired to seek religious counsel. “Oh,” she said, “it is of no use. My day is gone. I have been all the rounds of worldly pleasures, and it is to late. I shall die tonight at six o'clock." The day wore away, and it cime to four o’clock, and to five o’clock, and she cried out at five o’clock, “Destroyed spir its, ye shall not have me yet, it is not six, it is not sixT’ The moments went by, and the shadow began to gather, and the clock struck six, and while it was striking her soul went. What hour God will call for us I do not know —whether six tonight, or three o’clock this afternoon, or at one o’clock, or at this moment. Sitting where you are, falling forward, or stand ing where you are, dropping down, where would you go to? But our hour for ad journing is already come, and the last hour of our life will soon be here, and from that hour we will review this day’s proceedings. It will be a solemn hour. If from our death-pillow we have to look back and see a life spent in sinful amusement, there will be a dart that will strike through our soul sharper than the dagger with which Vlrginius slew his child. The memory of the past will make us quake like Macbeth. The iuiqaities and rioting through which we have passed will come upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Mer- rillies. Death, tbe old Shylock, will demand, and take, the remaining pound of flesh and the remaining drop of blood; and upon our last opportunity for repentance, and our last chance for heaveu, the curtain will forever drop. “SHK” Imp'Obabilltles Sometimes Become Realities—A True Womans Fidelity. Several works bearing unique titles, written in fascinating style, and giving evidence of wonderful imaginative power have lately been received by the reading public with mueh popularity and pleasure. Perhaps the most striking of them is the book bearing the odd title of ‘“She.” In this the author has fairly outdone himself in his popular line. Ayeeha and her beloved Kalii- krates are unique characters in fiction. Ayes- ha, tbe heroine, is a beautiful creature who tasted of the essence of nature's forces at the fountain bead, and became immortal. Her patient waiting for the coming of Kalli- krates, the beloved of’her youth, whose indi viduality was maintained through centuries, though the change called death regularly oc curred, only to be fallowed by, re-birth is a fine illustration of woman’s fidelity. The closing scene,, when she conducts Kalli- krates to the very center of the earth, the birthplace of all life, in order that he may taste of immortality, is a fit climax to the fine creation. The questian naturally suggested by this strikingly original story is whether there is not somewhere in nature, apotent force where by liie may at least be temporarily prolonged. Mrs. Anuie Jeuness Miller, editor of Dress says: “In every instance Warner’s Safe Cure has the effect to give new energy and vitality to all my powers,” Mme. Gray, teacher of Oratory and Physical Culture at Syracuse, de clares: “Before I tried physical culture and Warner’s safe cure, I. was a confirmed invalid. 1 owe much to that excellent remedy, and do not hesitate to acknowledge it.” Human life seems too short though men in former ages lived longer than those of the present. History tells us that they lived more in accordance with nature's laws—their mode of living was extremely simple, and in their daily life they folio wed the dictates of human intelligence. If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek the remedy among the artificial forces instead of resorting to the field of nature. If when diseases come, we would consult nature, the chances are that we would fare 'PIEDMONT A IB-LINE ROUTE. RICHMOND • DANVILLE B.
