Maddox, “THE WORLD MOVES.’ True. The devil has had a hand iu many of its movements from the very be ginning. When there were but two human beings in existence, a man and woman, he plied his motive power and started the woman away from G id. She was beguiled and “did eat. She gate also to her husband, and he did eat ” “The woman, being de ceived, was in the transgression.” The devil started the world of woman hood away from God, and that started the world of manhood in the same direction, aud so they have been moving ever since. Satan has bis band upon “the world of wealth,” and is moving it in bis interests He has his band upon “the world of pow er," and is moving it in his interests. He bas bis band upon “the world of office,*' and is moving it in his interests. He bas his hand upon “the world of population, and is moving it in his interests. Moving with the world is moving away from Goa. Moviug against the world is moving toward God. Whatever movement leads women and men awfty from the Bible, is moving them with the world, and against God. Moving from God and His word is death. Moving toward God and bis word is life. What “the world” needs is to have its movement reversed. It needs to be con verted, that is, turned away from the dev. 11, and obedience to his lusts, to God, and obedieuce to His word. “To the law a’d the testimony; if they speak not according to this world, it is be cause there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8=20.—L. R. B. in Christian Index. IN GREAT DANGER. There are persons within the limits of every Christian congregation who are in greater danger than they seem to be, and for whom there is not so much solicitude on the part of their Christian friends as there should be. They are not immoral or wicked people. They are not profane, or intemperate, or dishonest. Many of them are educated and intelligent, amia« ble, lovely, and companionable, kind, gen erous, and benevolent. They lack but one thing, Tney have never been born again. They are not the children of God by faith. Tuey may have a hops, but it is not the sure and steadfast hope of the true believ er. These persons Rre sinners, unconverted sinners; they are under condemnation ; ‘ eving not the Son of God, the wrath of leth on them. Remaining in their I condition with all their Scriptural sd all the morality, and all traits of character, they must be lost. “He that believctb on the Son hath everlasting life; sod he that be- iievetbnot the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abidetb on him.” Many persons of this character and in this condition make the mistake of sup posing that because they are not profane or intemperate or impair, therefore they will not have their part with liars, idols ters, and murderers. But it ought to be understood by all that no one is saved be cause he is not wicked and immoral, but because he believes on the Son of God. | All human merit goes for nothing in the salvation of the sonl. “Byj grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of your selves, it is the gift of God, If men were saved on the ground of their own right eousness instead of through the righteous ness of Christ, then parity, honesty, tem persnee, and all other natural graces would be of value as entitling them to sal vation. Men do not need to become gnilty of gross immorality to fall under the divine displeasuie. “He that believeth not the Son is condemned already ” “How shall we escape If we neglect so great salvation?’ A man may pass through the world lead ing a quiet and peaceful lire; may attend more or less regularly upon the ordinan ces of religion; may be scrupulously exact and honorable in ali business transactions; may be kind sod affectionate toward his family; may be a liberal giver to the causes of charity and religion, and yet neglecting salvation, neglecting to seek ana secure a personal interest in Christ as his Saviour, be cancot;scape the doom of the finslly impenitent and unbelieving.

The school-bell rings with cheerful sound, To bssten the slow, late comer; “To-morrow we’ll play,” It seems to say. “Hurrah for the fiist vacation day! Hurrah for a merry summer 1” The faithful bell, now the school is done, Must pause iu its daily swinging; D ies it miss the noise Of the girls and boys. And long to echo vacation joys With a peal of its wildest ringing? Soon, over the country far and wide, There are ripples of happy laughter; •* For the children know Where the berries grow. Win re the purling streams thro’ the meadows flow, And the hurrying brooks speed after. They know where the mountains lift their heads, By the great sky-curtain bounded; Ai,d their voices leap To the craggy steep, And wake the echoes from ont their sleep, W itb shouts that are thrice resounded. They know where the sea lies blue and calm In the bright midsummer weather; And they love to stand 0,i the shining sand, Where the tide roils up—and then, band in hand, To plunge in the wave together. They love to loiter in the leafy woods, And list to the squirrel’s scolding, As they cliu.b to a seat Ne»r his safe retreat, Or full on a couch, ail spicy sweet, Of leathery ferns unfolding. But, by and by, in the autumn days, Ere the bee has deserted the clover, When the sound of the bell Suull rise and swell, Will the little folk laugh—now who who can tell— To hear that vacation is over ? —St. Nicholas.

A BRAVE BOY. Some years ago, Buys the author of “Big Game of North America,’, three children who lived near Olympia, Washington, were returning from school, when Walter, the eldest, a boy or twelve, noticed wbat be thought to be a large yellow dog trol ling in the road behind them. They paid no attention to it, as large mongrel dogs of this color abound eveiy where in the vi- ciniiy of Indian camps, but went playing leisurely along. Suddenly the youngest, a chnbby chap of six, who was beb ind bis brothers^ came running to the front, and a moment later the animal, seen now to be a cougar, sprang over the beads of the two astonish ed boys, seising the iiule fellow in bis mouth, and with a spring vanished in the bushes. The elder brother did not stop to delib erate. He had for a weapon only an emp ty bottle, in which be had carried milk for his dinner, and with this he rushed iolo the bushes. His little brother was lying prostrate, grasping a small tiee with both hands, and holding on with the strength of despair, while the cougar, bis fangs luckily imbedded only io the child's clothing, was trying to break this deathlike grip. With a scream, Walter threw himself on the animal, beat it over its head with the bottle until the glass was shattered in frag ments, *ind tbeD, with the ragged edges of the bottle’s neck, be endeavored to cut out the cougar’s eyes. At last the cougar, with a yell of rage, dropped his hold on the child, and ran up a tree near at hand, while the - heroic boy, lifting his brother in bis arms, carried him into the road, and fell fainting upon him. Meanwhile the other brother had fled screaming up the road, and fortunately met two men who had been chopping near by. As soon as he had told the cause of bis fright, they rushed on, to find the lit tle hero senseless, still tightly grasping the neck of the broken bottle. The cougar’s victim was too much hor rified to speak, but pointed to the savage beast, lying on a limb in full view. Ooe of the men had a pistol, and with a few shots the animal was killed. v THE RICH MAN’S SON. The rich man’s son inherits lands, And piles of brick and stones aud gold, And he inherits soft white hands, And tender flesh that fears the .cold Like soft hands, and tender flesh, many diseases are inherited; espe cially tendencies to Asthma, Consump tion, Bronchitis, and btomaoh and Liver troubles: but. there is v remedy, known as the “Golden Medical Discov ery,” which overcomes these diseases, and outs off all tendencies toward a fa tal result. Dr Pierce of Buffalo, bas put this remedy within the reach of all, so that even the peor as well as the rich, can obtain it. It ts "worth more wUhage^dwere refunded. A SIMPLE TRELLIS FOB TOMATOES. ing a patch in this manner will increase the amount of crop to the foil extent of paying for material and erection of trel lis, while the better quality of the fruit resulting from such treatment will lx clear gain. The trellis consists simply of a row of stakes at a reasonable space apart, on each side of the row of plants, and strands of wire strung along the posts, at say eight inches apart from each other. One of the state experiment stations reports satisfactory results from the use of a trellis put up like the one described with this exception, that pieces of six inch, board in single line were substi tuted for the posts and the wires stapled to the edges on each side. The home gardener can well afford to put up some sort of trellis for his com paratively few plants, even if he did not expect any other advantage from it but the greater attractiveness and neatness of the patch. A simple way of treating tomato vines is to train them to a single pole or stake, say eight feet high, and keep the plants trimmed to siugle stem. Soft bands should be used for tying, and particular TRELLIS attention paid to give the fruit clusters some support by tying to the stake. The plants need not bo more than three feet apart in the row. A simple and inexpensive style of trellis is shown in the second cut It consists in setting three stakes five or six feet high in a circle around each plant, and fastening a few barrel hoops to them as shown in the engraving. Treatment of Lawn*. A mistake is often made by setting the lawn mower to cut too short, and there is not enough of leaf growth left to give strength to the roots of the grass. A more natural condition is given by cut ting a little higher, and the lawn is made more like velvet, and there would be less danger of the earth below being dried or burned by exposure to the sun. Owners and gardeners are sometimes puzzled to know what. to do under the shade "of trees where grass will not grow freely. The best remedy is a free seed ing with Kentucky bluegrass, which will endure shade better than most other lawn grasses. -' Tying Up Celery. My experience in tying np celery in papers is not the best, says a Rural New Yorker correspondent, as it heats and the the centers rot too much in warm weath' er. Blanching it with 13-inch boards is the most satisfactory to me. If the cel ery plants are set five inches in the row, the rows being eighteen inches apart, and the boards are set upright on each side of the row, the celery will come out in good edible shape in a few days.

THE SECRET OF HIS WEALTH. A millionaire said “the secret of my wealth” is in the word, S-A-Y-E; and the secret of my health is in the word, S-A-G-E. By this last he meant Dr. Sage, whoseJCatarrh Remedy cured him of one of the worst cases of Catarrh, and thereby saved him from much suffering and premature death, enabling him to make his millions, and enjoy life. The cares mad.e by this medicine are sitaplv wonderful. FREE FROM BURGLARS. Allow me to digress for a moment while I speak of the wagon road of North Carolina. Tfte system has been a bad one for some years, especially in the western part of the state. For that rea son the roads have been practically im passable a good deal of the year. The Asheville and Hendersonville road, for instance, is kept now in the same repair that the road is from Zanzibar to Lake Victoria Nyanza. It was formerly a toll road, and though the tolls were used mostly for personal expenses by the owners of the road, the bill was always made ont for those who desired to ride ovsf the route. I speak thus plainly of these roads hoping that it may result in great good to those who live thereon. At present the road above referred to is simply an ill kempt trail, along which are strewn the wrecks of basted vehicles and the bones of people whose necks have been dislocated in trying to ride over them, and who have been left alone to die. Though a public road of great importance, very few people drive over it unless under the influence of liquor. There are places on this road where mountain springs soak up through the roadbed, and have done so for centuries, while the load in aster has been waiting for them to dry out. Tho result is that a Ntitneboat is the only vehicle which will safely make the trip.- Hitch a 8-year-old heifer with a claybank mule, and then on the lead pnt a lavender jackass, and if you are a careful driver you may take your children to Ashe ville, but if not you will surely be short two or three on the way home. Lots of North Carolina families have only eleven or twelve children left ont of a possible twenty, owing to the condition of the roads. This reckless outlay of children, It seems to me, if nothing else, should teach us to improve our roads. Asheville has made an appropriation recently of $625,000, most all of which will go for the improvement of her streets. This is better than a like amount laid ont in feneeboard advertis ing. Now let the issue iu the county be “bully roads for Buncombe county,” and let the party who opposes the improve ment correct the bad grammar and poor punctuation in its dying speech, and do it aoon too. I was saying the other day that after fi pretty general knowledge of North Carolina for five or six years i was as tonished to notice that there had been no burglaries within my observation. This is remarkable, especially to me. for I have lived where a burglary was not uncommon, and where I have suffered myself, having lost a silver plated butter dish in that way eight years ago, also what batter we had in the house at the time, it being concealed in the batter dish. 1 also shot a burglar, eleven years ago, who was breaking into my resi dence, but be had only sixty cents on his person at the time, and even that the coroner took away from me on the fol lowing day. The burglar has it all his own way at the north, but-here in North Carolina, where the mosquito never lives and the politician never dies, burglary is a capital offense. All burglars over fourteen years of age are executed. This tends to turn the attention of bright young burglars toward politics. 1 never felt so secure before in my life. 1 leave my large, massive, solid silver watch on the escritoire every night now, whereas I used to put it underneath the mattress. It is a very comfortable feeling. I assure you. Of course chick ens are not so safe, especially during a colored revival. 1 do not wish to be misunderstood regarding this matter, bnt 1 was told on the start by a devout Christian of the Caucasian race that if 1 Cared anything for my “broilers” 1 would watch them most carefully dur ing a colored revival, for at that time the more “earnest” negroes were so all tore np in their minds that they conld not work at all during the day. and the revival took all the night, or nearly so.

Boomerang was a bright young aa wtth a dark cross on his back and a saw buck saddle on which l nsed to pa^k sidepork and other titbits to tempt my appetite and tickle my palate wide prospecting for gold in the bowels of the earth. Also 1 carried salt with which to salt my mines if I found them in hot weather and feared that they might get too gamey. Boomerang had no home ties. If he had any relatives they did not corre spond with him. He and I grew np to gether on the Medicine Bow rattge; al most like boys and girls together, you might say. But he was not happy. Sometimes 1 thought that possibly, as he got to knowing me better, perhaps 1 was a disappointment to him. He acted that way. Anyhow he would Bob aud cry while Le thought I was asleep, many and many a night. After that I got more forehanded, and when I got the first payment on one of my justly celebrated pickled mines 1 bought a mule called Yellow Fever. This mole was sold to me as-a good, kind family mole, and 1 intended to raise yet other mules for the market. Yellow Fever was almost always fatal, however, no matter where she broke out. Our first grave on Vinegar Hill was taken charge of by a man who partially reached the tail of Yellow Fever. She is still alive, bnt childless. No little feet patter about her corral. No little croupy voices salute the silent night in her sim ple home. Five years later I bought an American horse off a comparative stranger. He was a spirited horse, with a piercing eye on the side where I stood. Oh, he was t corker. He had lots of pop and enter prise and high purposes into him, also bright red nostrils, and he was checked np real high. The man who sold me this horse said that he intended settling down and starting a bank in onr town, bnt he did not. There was some hitch abont get ting a large enongh building, I believe. He sold me this horse—Hectic, by Jndas Priest—because his wife had died He laid that Hectic was her horse, and tince she died he conld not bear to look at him. Then he came and cried into my lap qnito a little spell. That night the horse was ill all night A neighbor told me that Hectic had the colio, but when 1 -pnt my hand on the little hot stomach of my steed he kicked me across the plaza and into a bed of cacti. It hurt me a good deal, especially in my finer feelings. It doesn’t take much to hurt my finer feelings. I sup pose that it would be very difficult, in deed, to find a man who is so susceptible to a kick at the hands of a spirited horse as 1 am. On the following day A veterinarian from Leipsic examined Hectic and made quite an extended report. I am not a horse man, so I cannot remember what he said, but I know he said that his tampers were down I asked him if we conld not get their >np again. I would do all that I conld to boom them through the press and on the street. Bnt he looked at me sadly, and J conld see the tears gathering in his eyes. Then he turned away, and i conld hear him mutter something to himself in Ger man. I do not understand German readily, but 1 would not be the man he was talking about for anything in this world. Later, when I had taken the crape off the stable door and had waited a year after the death of Hectic—for he conld not eat anything but kumiss with hi* artificial teeth, and so died about six weeks after his mind failed—I bought an Indian pony called Hihwatha. Hin- HIAWATHA, THE INDIAN PONT, watha is still alive, though- very few oi his owners are. He belonged to the 81- wash tribe, and had a brand on him which was the crest of Old Soiled Noeet the chief of the Yaps. Hiawatha came into onr family well recommended by one of the pleasantest extemporaneous speakers 1 ever saw. His home was on Fifty-eighth street, New York city, and he dealt In homes just because he loved them. He said that Hiawatha knew more than lots of men who held office, and I never flaw a man use such an effort to control him* self as this man did when he said good- by to Hiawatha and took the ferry tor his wretched and lonely home. Fortunately, Hiawatha did not kQi any of our family, because we have a good physician, and he can save.any one after many other doctors have given them up. 80 then 1 sent Ut» pony back to th* owner to board, r forgot to say that a neighbor of mine borrowed Hiawatha to ride to. hounds once, and has not spoken to me sinoe.
