For Tim Wkkki.v.. Learn to Forgive. Learn to forgive. Try to imbosom a placable heart. Harbor no inimical feelings or resentment toward any one. Do not burden yourself during your few days here below with an unforgiv ing spirit, for it will do you more hurt than anything else. Carry not ani mosity against any one, but forgive and you will receive great exaltation. If you forgive not, how can you expect to be forgiven ? Not Id forgive will blight the felicity of many around you, yet its principal feeding ground w'll find lodgment in your own heart. Let us mate the supposition that you hate your neighbor: 'Yonder is his dwelling only tv>o hundred paces dis tant. Just imagine that you are pass ing by a wood lire, anil aKLvou go by you pluck a partially ii ,1 ) lined brand, which is flaming amly, fjning, con cealing it under your Aaiment you hasten to your neighbor’*^(fWistle with the revengeful thought (iy noirgiving) of destroying his houseL 'SVfto gets the worst of it ? finrffwnim'fT''Vr)vi will find your clothing in Hatties, and your own flesh burned, yea, eveu be fore you molest or barm your neigh bor. Just so with a person who carries an inexorable breath in his bosom. Let your heart be not indomitable for your conscience’s relief. If you carry an unforgiving spirit, it will sting your own soul like an adder ere you are aware. There are people who honor them selves as Cluistians, who are miserable because of their animosity and revenge fulness. To be submissive is a thous and times sweeter than to be obdurate. If you have hard feelings toward any one—to please God, you must not have an implacable heart. Forgive your enemies, humble and supplicate your selves on your knees, and pray to God in their beba! f . The orison of the righteous availeth much. If you only exercise faith sufficiently, salvation will surely come into your soul like a deluge. Father forgive them. If ad monition will not suffice, berate them in thy gentleness. Sweet prayei and bleßsed example. J. T. W. Hampton, Ga., Sept.. 28th. Scrofula is Hud. For ail forms and variations of sreof ula, which stands next to contagious blood poison in the problems that it presents, S. S. S. is a specific. As a remedy for this disease, it stands pre eminent and incomparable. Where the ordinary treatment fails —and it does fail in nine cases out of ten—S. S. S. will effect a cure. Somo of the tes timonials that the proprietors have on file, and others which they include in their phamphlets, describe cures that are almost miraculous. No higher trib utes could he paid to the singular effi cacy of this inediciue than those which are embodied in these unsolicited let ters. The suffering that has been saved by S. fs. S. in these cases alone would place it at the head of all blood medi cines. Mr. \V. 11.

Hiudskyk, lnd., September 2G.— This country is once more disgraced by mob work, which is doubly dis graceful, in tlmi it is perpetrated upon a defenseless woman. Mrs. Harmon, a woman of rather loose character, liv ed at Mentor, one mile west of here. Last night she was visited by a body of thirty men who tied her to a post near her house and applied fifty lashes to her bare body. After performing their,work they called upon another woman named Mrs. Freeman, of like character, and warned her to leave the place within twenty four hours, or they would treat her to the same dose. She immedi ately departed. Then the white caps called Jacob SapenfielJ and ordered him to visit Mrs. Harmon, untie her and pub'ish to the neighbors, on pen alty of twenty live lashes, what they had done, and that they had whipped the Harmon woman because of her bad name. A IIOIIRIKI.I. SPECTACI.K. When Sapenfield reached the hap less woman lie found her tied to the post naLed, with the exception of one undergarment, which was turned over her head. Her body was torn from head to foot as if by a kuife, one terri ble wound, bleeding from every pore, while across her abdomen was a deep gash, twelve inches long and sodoep as to leave the bowels exposed, and scat tered around were great hickory switch es with which the woman had been Hayed. No one knows who composed the gang, nor whence they came, though nearly every citizen in town saw them by the light of the moon. The com munity is enraged that stich an awful thing should have happeucd in their midst. Mrs. Harmon and her daugh ter were whipped in Birdseye two years ago, just before they moved to Mentor. A Remarkable Dream. The Washington JLikj'onide,tells of a remarkable dream, which was recalled by the recent disastrous lire at that place. The Chronicle says that Mrs. Lewis Brown, an old lady, was living with her husband about forty miles from Washington. While there, one night, August 25, 1837, Mrs. Brown woke her husband up in much excite ment and said she hud a very vivid dream that Washington was burned. It made a great impression on her, and she described in detail where the fire began and where it ended. On going to sleep the dream was repeated. What she said finally made a great impression on Captain Brown. Next day he sat out in front of the house and made inquiries of passers. In those days there was uot a railroad in Georgia and news came slowly a dis tance of forty miles. Toward evening a somewhat tired traveler rode up, and to the inquiry, “What news do you bring?” said C’apt. Brown. “Nothing hut that Washington was burned up last night.” Captain Brown took his horse next day and went to AVashington. He found that his wife’s account of where the fire begun and where it ended was litterall/ correct. .ledge Waxem’s Political Proverbs. The Decleration of Independents has got a wider foundation than all the throans of Urup put together. Public skools furnishes the best fat ening for the Amerikin Eagel. Some men would rather be Presi dent fer fore yers before they die than be the Lord Almity for eternity after wards. No wonder some of our statesmen air sitcli pore material, when you come to think what wages they git. Pattriotism won’t grow in eittvs like it will in the country.

Scrili ner’s M aga/ine Highest of all in Leavening Power.— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. DqvM Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE A Physician's Tull Yarn. On one occasion, when several phy sicians had met, the conversation ran to the extraordinary tilings winch aim man being might swallow and still live, says the Youth’s Companion. The familiar stories about swallo wing silver dollars, sets of false teeth, and so on had been related, when Dr. Long bow began to speak. “Two years ago,” he said, “I was called in great haste to attend a ear politer in my town, though the message said that beyond doubt the man was already dead, for he had, while holding a large gimlet in his mouth at his work, suddenly been taken with a fit of hic coughs iiul swallowed the gimlet. “But when I arrived at the man's house I found him ‘very comfortable.’ The gimlet, gentlemen, gave him no trouble at all to digest.” There was silence for a moment. Presently one of the other doctors re marked : “With you for his physician, Long bow. the man was lucky that it was only a gimlet that I e undertook to swallow.” “What do you mean ?” “Why, if lie bad tried to swallow one of your stories it would have choked him ,0 death.” The Kvhlence was Conclusive. A statesman who had been indicted by an unfeeling grand ynrjr was arrest ed % a slierll and klujown into jail.. .\ this was abhorrent to bis fine spiritual nature he sent for (lie district attorney and asked that the case he dismissed. “Upon what ground ?” asked the dis trict attorney. “Lack of evidence to convict,” re plied the accused. “Do you happen to have the lack with you?” the official asked. “I should like to see it.” "With pleasure,” said the othor. j “Here it ts.” So saying he handed the other a check, which the district attorney care fully examined, and then pronounced it the most complete absence of both proof and presumption that be had ever seen, lie said that it would acquit the oldest man in the.world.—San Francis co Examiner. What the Trouble Was. “What is the matter?” asked the Boston girl, addressing a little hoy. “They’re raising the devil in a sa loon down the street,” replied the ur chin as he dashed away in the direction of the disturbance. “What is the matter, Priscilla ?” j asked the mother of the Boston girl. The maiden hesitated a moment; her conscientiousness, her regard for the truth overcame the impulse to give her parents an evasive answer, and she re plied : “They are elevating Satan in an ts tabiishment devoted to the sale of al coholic beverages somewhere in the vi cinity, but of the exact location of it I am yet unapprised.”—New York Press. lie Needed Kicking. It was on the train and he was trying to read. There was the usual variety of passengers, among them a lady with a very sprightly little girl that had blue eyes, a head of glistening gold and an inquisitorial tongue. She plied him with questions and toyed with his watch chain. The mother, who was a widow, fairly beamed upon him. He was Ire coming nervous, and turning to the mother said : “Madame, what do you call this sweet little darling ?” The widow smiled etichautingly and replied with a sigh, “Ethel.” “Please call her, then.” Woofer —“I suppose your wife has vials of wrath in store for you now and then?” Breyey—“Vials?
