Turpentine is said to he a sure cure
for a bite of a snake. It should be put
in a bottle, and the mouth being placed
over ibe spot, the liquid brought direct¬
ly in contact with the wound by invert¬
ing the bottle, which should be held
there until relief is obtained. A com¬
plete alleviation of pain has been known
t 0 ensue in less than a quarter of an
hour. An important discovery.
The registrars of this county have
ignored all former registration lists,
apd when they find that a man has
‘oiiee been a defaulter they arraign him
before their body, and if he does not
siiovv his tax receipt he is struck from
the voters list. I11 this way they are dis¬
franchising lots of men, who are hou
eiftly entitled to vote. Our tax collec¬
tor in 1802 registered only those who
had [mid up all of their back taxes, and
it dont look right now to say they shall
not vote.

HYPOCRISY.
This is an ago of shams, cheats,
selfishness, pride, plcas
tire, licentiousness, waste, bigotry and
inhumanity.
Nothing better describes it than a
quotation from the .‘It'd chapter of '2nd
Timothy:
‘•And this know also, that ill the last
days pci ilous limes .shall come. For
men shall be lovers of their own selves.
,mud ’ hhwi'hemcrs, disohe
(1iunL to l mrcn4s ’ !,nlh:mklu ’' unholy,
without natural attention, truce break

away.”
Look around you and answer me
{.Pphc questions Are the limes peiil
ous? Are the nations perplexed and
angry? Do men's hearts fail them for
, 1 'eai ? Are men lovers of their own
selves? Are they selfish ? Don’t they
Jove to quote, more than ever, “Cliui i
•y begins at home”? Do they pray:
"Lord bless me and my wife, my son
Jolin and bis wife, us four and no
more”? Do they covet that which
Belongs to tlie.ir neighbor, and devise
all manner of schemes to client, him out
of it? Do they boast of themselves and
of their own achievements? Are they
proud'?, Do they blaspheme? Do
■Ifildren disobey their parents?

accuse one another falsely ? U hat
about political campaigns? If any
slander is left unsaid in political cam¬
paigning, it is surely something the
devil has forgotten. Are men inconti¬
nent? The divorce records of lhe
country will answer this. Are men
fierce ? Are not murders of daily oc
currcncc ? Will not men shoot one an
other down for t,lie most trivial offence?
Are the good despised . ? Well, you

ask L011 Livingston about this, and he
sure to comfort him with the assurance.
that lie is not the only one. Do men
love pleasures more than they love
Rod? Go ask these church members
who, instead of going to church
go off on Sunday excursions.
There is a form of godliness. To be
a church member is a very popular
thing, and consequently church mem¬
bers arc as thick ns Garter’s oats.
There was nevi r so much profession
as now, and t here was never so much
hollowness and hypocrisy.
Rottenness answers to hypocrisy,
and follows in quick succession; crime
treads on tire heels of crime, while jus¬
tice is sleeping soundly. The whole
head is faint and the whole heart is
siek. Righteousness ceases to materi¬
alize, while wickedness defies God with
a high hand and an outstretched arm.
There is the form of godliness assumed
by hypocrites of the pew, and paraded
by the cormorants who have usurped
the functions of the pulpit. But for
the .Spirit’s power, alas ! it is not.

a
them are deader than a door nail. The
best of them are but lukewarm, while

The preachers are to blame. They
are to blame for the deadness of the
Church. 'J'hey are to blame for indi¬
vidual corruption. They are to blame
for national decay.
“Like priests, like people.” The
preachers are the leaders and mould¬
ers of all moral forces; hence they be¬
come a savor of life unto life or a savoi
of death unto death.
The preachers, the most of them

much faith in the honesty of any one
of Baal’s four hundred prophe ts a- 1
