AN APRIL-DAY IN ALOIER8.
Prof. Pollock Olves an Interesting De
scription of the Habits and Cus
toms of the Arabs.
Ammkks, Africa, April 25, 1800,
It is niornlnR-a beautiful mornioK in
April in Algiers. We have almost for
gotten the sea, and our experience n
few days ago. We have gpont a few
days among tho Arabs, but the night
just passed we have dreamed of hotno
and friends. The vision brought with
it almost the pleasure of reality. There
wns no great sea to separato us, but
once more wo wore around the family
hearthstone—once more we looked into
the facos of loved ones. Our long sep
aration wgs ended, and We felt tho
wnfih kiss (if a mother ns site took her
bdy once moro to her heart <and wel-
eomod hitu homo. Again wo wore
among friends, and felt tho warm grasp
of their Imud and hoard tholr friendly
greetings. O, what a ray of sunshine
, came iatf our life in thohush and dark-
• oess of the piglit, only to bo dispelled
with tho coming of the morning. Ilome
and friends far away! The ocoan still
separates us; but thoir memory is an In
spiration that strengthens our hopes,
and beams like a star of promise into
eur hours of solitude. God bless them!
Hut this is Algiors, the cnpitnl of the
French colony of Algeria, in Africa. As
t look from my window, tho sea far
away to tiie east and west is calm. It
is the very picture of beauty and gen
tleness. It seems to invite you to a voy
age upon its tranquil bosom. Yonder,
far away in the interior of the country,
at the range of tiie Looser Atlas moun
tains, whose heads wear a crown of
atiow. The sun is just pooping over tho
kill, against tho side of which the city
» built, and great beams of his gracious
tight are beginning to dance across tho
bosom of tho sen, nnd play among the
rigging of the grant ships that lie poace-
fully at anchor in the linrbor below.
Others of his beams hie awny to tho
siiow-covored ponks in the distance, and
at their approach tho crowns of snow
sre transformed into sparkling diadoms,
richer In their splondor than tho crowns
of kings. Hut one almost shivers ns ho
tucks at the snow-capped peaks far
away. The gentle broore, however,
just from a romp among the grove of
palm trees near our window, creeps
into our room and fnns tho cheek soft
ly witli its warm breath, as if to unsure
os of the coming of a glorious spring
day. For*n moment wo rest in silent
admiration of our surroundings. Thoro
below us, in full view, the groat ships
lying at anchor; just beyond, tho groat
blue son, calm and gentle; yonder, tho
mountains covered with snow; hero at
our side, tho garden of date palms; and
just across tiie way, orange trees loaded
with thoir golden fruit.
Hut wo must cultivate tho acquaint
ance of our brother Arab, in order to
learn something or his custom, his man
ner of life, etc. Carlyle lias defined
mutt as a "biped that wears breeches."
If this bo true, the poor Arab has not
the remotest chance to ho included in
Hie definition, “man,” for he has a con
tempt for breeches, and generally for
Iho “Christian dogs" that wear them.
( have searched my English vocabulary
without success to find a word that
would convey to you a correct ideu of
!i is dress. It occurs to me that ho sim
ply makes him a dress that reaches to
his knees; then sews its together at tiie
bottom and cuts two holes at tiie bot
tom through which to put his legs.
Then n sash wound round his waist, n
bob-tail roundabout coat that reaches
with difficulty to his waist; a turban or
fez on his head—behold your Arab!
■Carlyle ought to have added, that “tho
race that wears breeches rules the
world." Such philosophy ns exactly
suited the state of nffairs hore, whore
tho French, fifty years ago, by force, as
sumed the government of Algeria and I which has moved millions of hearts to
Tunis, and 1 suppose such philosoply is ; fears 1 found it difficult to forgive him.
generally true, notwithstanding t he at- Speaking of experiences, 1 am remind-
tempts which some strong-minded tvo-: l ’^ a month is enough for a
aieu are making to introduce a new re;/, wanderer from homo to sing this sweet
I he is such an ardent Mussulman I doubt
whether the sword could separate him
from his fidelity to the memory of
Mahomet and the principles of the Ko
ran. lie still flourishes like a green
bay tree, and is faithful to the tradi
tions of his fathers amidst tho push ami
hurry of modern civilization whicli the
French have planted on his soil. He
still builds his mosques, kisses the
hands of tiie marabout in unselfish rev
erence, wears with patience if not with
grace Itis surplus costume, nnd counts
as saints those of his people who have
made three pilgrimages to tho torn!) of
Mahomet.
His submission to French authority is
not at all cordial, and the several re
bellions that lie lias made attest Ills
loyalty to tho memory of his ancient in
stitutions and his dislike of modern
ideas. Hut, alas!—the French military
strength is the rock ngainst which nil
his forces aro shipwrecked, Frenclt
schools of science are open to him, but
it is a raro exception that ho takes ad
vantage of them. Occasionally lie
teaches his children to read, sometimes
to write, but tho Koran is tho maximum
of nil knowledge. Ho far, he has shown
himself hostile to the principles of pro
gress. It may bo that civilization will
eventually build its magnificent struo-
ture upon the mitts of his race
Not only here are to be found tho
flags of a conquering race, but by the
hands of the white race they have been
unfurled in a girdio around this conti
nent, and already tho advance guards
are pushing boldly Into the interior.
We fear that the question of humanity
is the lenst of all impulses that inspire
conquest, Tho wealth and power of
nations, as well as that of individuals,
is often stained with innocent blood,
but the greed for gain does not hesi
tate to givo it currency on that ac
count.
Hut we aro among the Arabs, and a
study of his peculiar customs may be
perhaps a matter of some interest to
you. To begin, I may ndd that he has
a system of music peculiarly ids own.
If l were n musician I think I should
study by way of curiosity Itis music,
for it seems to me that it is the most
methodlcnl discord ponsiblo to bo ob
tained. Hamlet had "method in his
madness," but tho Arab has not only
tills, but moro—a madness iu his meth
od. Of course, I speak from n Europe
an standpoint. An Arab musicinn is n
power among his people, and with his
"cornstalk fiddle and shoestring bow,”
so to spenk, is master at will of thoir
tears; or, if he cares to conjuro his mu
sic a little, Is even innster of their ac
tions, and can cause them to perform
all sort of gymnastic oxercisos, even to
complete exhaustion. The instruments
most luted among the Arabs are the
"konltrn,” or sort of guitar, and the
"gosbalt," or sort of flute—the latter be
ing t ho most common and popular. His
system of music is unwritten, so that
each musician has a broad field in which
to develop his talent, according to his
taste.
Hut as we write this, behold there is a
genuine Arab musician at the entrance
of tho hotel down stairs. We cannot
resist the temptation of the novelty
which his ludicrous appearance and his
strange music can afford us, so we go
down to be entertained. Evidently lie
was waiting for a victim, for ho snlutod
our approach with a smile of genuino
satisfaction. Without wniting to in
quire, ho takes it for grnntod that we
nro in search of just such music as ho
can furnish, and ho begins to thrum the
one chord of his rough banjo. At each
twnng, twang, of the unmusical chord
he lifts alternately his right nnd loft
foot. His face no longer wears a smilo,
but grows more and moro sorious as ho
turns tho corners of his imaginary flats
and sharps. Now his head begins to
move, as if in response to tho inspira
tion whicli his music had Inspired in his
own heart, And then, O horrors!—lie
breaks forth in song. Until now wo had
believed that “music hath charms to
soot lie even tiie savngo breast,” but
henceforth we shall alter this saying to
suit our experience among tho Arabs,
and it shall read: Music hath charms to
sootlio the savage heart, if it is not tho
music of tho Arab, in which caso its
charms servo ouly to make the beurt
savage.
1 suppose tho words of a song have
much to do with its effect upon the
hearts of others, ltecently, I was forci
bly,reminded of this fact by endeavor
ing to entertain a Frenchman with the
soug, “Home, Swoet Home.” Ho had
never heard of it, nnd tho English
words were without meaning to him.
After explaining to Kim the great pop
ularity of tho song in America, I be
gan to sing it. He listened witli polite
intorest until I had finished tiie last
note, but tho nlniost stupid indifference
and surprise with which ho regarded
tho tears which tho dear old song had
brought to my eyes were indeed pain
ful. For the sako of tho sweet old song
acea for all the iils of burden-bearing
among tho Arabs. Generally lie is quite
small, but lie is none the leas strong on
that account, and on seeing the burdens
he benrs one really wonders if there is
no limit to his strength nnd iiis pa
tience. He demands only two privi
leges from those whom ho serves—one
is to wag or Hop his ears according to
itis taste, and the other is to bray for
bis pleasure, Hnd for tho development
of his lungs. Like the Arab, he is faith
ful to tho traditions of his fathers. His
equipment for service is a soft pad on
his back, nnd across this is placed a large
wallet woven of a soft, plinhle grass.
It is a matter of indifference to him
whether you fill tho wallet with rocks,
sand, fruit, fish or dry goods—lie bears
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
science, for it is a'fnlse conscience. If
you are willing for the simple state-
nil with a nonchalance that is really 1 *" ^ 17”?,‘J!
ottniMtun t,lc matter, you are a.Sabbath breaker,
nothing more or less.
It is unnecessary to state Hint the
city of Tunis occupies the site of ancient
Carthage. The whole section uuder
French control is dotted hero and there
with ruins that mark alike the grandeur
and decadence of the Roman Empire.
The Arab is a genuine Mussulman—
that is to say, the Koran is his law
and gospel, Mahomet his prophet, and
Allah, or God, his sovereign. Several
song, unless ho wishes a chronic case of
tho “blues.”
1 had often road of the donkey, his
gravity of character, his pious patience,
etc., but until I reached Algiers I had
never seen hint upon his native heath.
He is here, not in "all the glory of Sol
omon,” but iu the glory of his unselfish
and uncomplaining service, and with as
much dignity as his efccyedjng ugliness
will allow htm to a§Sfiml, He is a pan-
attractive.
Hut the picture of Eastern life is not
complete until you witness the Arabs
mounted on their donkeys coming to
town. Generally, tho Arab is larger
than the donkey, and this being tho
case, he cannot ndopt the European
fashion of riding astraddle, nut he easi
ly solves tho matter to his entire satis
faction, by stretching his legs, support
ed by the pad, towards tho ears of his
donkey; and tho donkey, as if to attest
his fidelity, at intervals caresses with
his onrs the bare feet of his master. To
see a party of theso Arabs thus mount
ed, gesticulating at random as they en
gage each other in conversation, tho ex
citability of thoir spooch and manner,
in striking contrast with the gravity of
tho poor donkey, thoir peculiar dress,
etc., is worth a voyage across the Medi-
terranean sea, even if you are a little
sick.
But we shall remain only a few days
longer in Algiors, and In a country so
fruitful in novelties, we may be able to
find something else that will be of in
torest to you. Adieu till our next.

The Abuse of the Sabbath.
W hen wo look around us at times and
see how those who claim to be religious
dofy the law of God, by spending the
Sabbath in a way that is unbecoming
and unworthy of a Christian, wa are al
most ready at such times to agree with
the pessimist and to proclaim that the
children of this world nre given over to
Satan. Remember tho Subbath day to
keep it holy. IIow do we remember
the Sabbath day? By observing it for
rest and worship, according to its na
ture and design. How is the Sabbath
kept holy? By abstaining from all
worldly pursuits, and regulating our
thoughts, words and actions according
to itB sacred character.
Now, let us see whut it is to worship
God. The person who comos up to the
house of God and refuses to hear God’s
messenger, docs not remember the Sab
bath. The person who, instead of hear
ing the Word, persists in talking during
the sendee, does not only not remem
ber the Snbbatli, but in addition be
comes a stumbling block to mankind.
Such a one not only refuses to remem
ber tho Sabbath himself, but hinders
others from hearing the word of God,
and so becomes a stumbling-block to
his neighbor. It is a serious thing for
one to absent hiniBelf from the house
of God, but it is just as serious for one
to refuse to hoar the word of God after
being present; for wo are responsible
and hold accountable for every unheard
word that proceeds from the mouth of
God, or from tho mouth of those who
hnve boen set apart to proclaim Iiis
word. Christ said to Iiis apostles, "He
that henreth you heareth me; and he
that despiseth you despiseth me.” If I
como to you and tell you that I have a
message for you from a friend, unless
you despise mo or tho so-called friend
you will not refuse to hear the message.
Every minister might begin his dis
course by saying, “I have a message
for you from a friend—from a Friend
that sticketh closer than a brother—
from a Friend that thought it not too
little to die for you.”
I)o you hear His message? Why not?
Because you secretly despise or have a
contempt for His message. I have boon
sliockod to seo how a large per cent, of
church-goers treat tiie preached word
of God. “Woe unto thee, Chorazin!
Woe unto tlioo, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty work had been done in Tyre
or Sidon which have been done in you,
they had a groat while ago repented,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes.”
Put your name in the place of the
cities Chorazin and Bethsaida. Then
hear tho sentonce of your Lord,—it
shall bo more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the judgment than for you.
I am constrained to say that we live
in an age and in a country in which it
seems to be fashionable to hear the
word of God only in part A few dis
connected thoughts probably, aro gath
ered during tho sermon by a great per
cent, of tho young people that attend
church. Many persons attend divine
services iu the morning, but regulate
not thoir thoughts, words anti actions
to its sacred character in the evening.
Your going to church in the morning
will not givo you license to break tho
Sabbath iu tiie evening. It is not a
part of tiie day that must be koptjholy,
but tho whole of it. You aro not jus
tifiable in doing a bad deed because
you have some time previous to this
done a good act.
Are young folks regulating their
thoughts, words and actions according
to the Sabbath’s sacred character when
they are driving over the country in
search of worldly pleasure and for the
purpose of sight-seeing? Is it right?
Does your conscience tell you it is
right? If so .do uot follow "that con-
Are you a Christian? Then separate
yourself from tiie great unchristian
world. By your fruits you are known.
When those who profess to tie Chris-
tains mingle with those who make
no pretensions to Christianity and
allow themselves to bo led about
by such persons, they are unworthy of
the name they benr, and their condem
nation is much greater than the con
demnation of the unbeliever. A little
leaven loavens the whole lump. A
little poison poisons the whole stream.
While this condition of affairs is much
to bo regretted, yet there is a brighter
side to the picture. We afe happy to
know that less of the Pharisaical spirit
exists among the Christian denomina
tions than formerly. The Pharisaical
prayer is no longer offered up by the
church—"Lord, we thank thee that we
are riot as some other denomination*,”
but the different denominations realize
that we aro all working for the same
end, which end is the salvation of souls.

OBITUARY.
Shell—Miss Hannah Amanda Wig
gins was born September 1st, 1852. In
August, 1850, she was converted and
joined the Methodist church. She was
married to Ivey M. Shell September
28th, 1881. She died in great peace and
triumph April 18th, 1800.
These are the private dates and facts
in tho life of Sister Shell. Around and
out of them grew a beautiful Christian
character. Her religion was a veritable,
real, tangible experience. She exem
plified it in all she did and said. She
enjoyed its comforts every day. She
loved her church—its sweet commun
ion’s solemn vows—its songs of prayer
and praise. No sacrifice was too great
for her to make to attend preaching.
Very often she would got happy and
shout aloud the praises of her God and
King.
Nine children blessed the happy
union, and all live to remember h*t
beautiful Christian life and her repeat
ed and earnost efforts to have them,
each and all, know the happiness whicli
religion brought to her own heart.
We all remember her zeal and activi
ty in Christ’s work—especially during
the revival services. Old Tranquil, iu
Coweta county, is closely associated
with tho memory of tho Shell family.
Now many of them lie buried there;
but a blessing rests upon the communi
ty where they lived.
Bro. It. P. Martyn preached Sister
Shell’s funeral, to a large congregation
of friends nnd relatives, who join in
praying God’s blessing upon the be
reaved fnmily.
One by one we nre gathored home.
May we all be ns r^ady as Sister Shell
when called to go.

Worthy of Trust.
A tourist climbing up a mountain
side doesn’t want a small, limber or
rotten stick. No, he wants a stout staff
that will boar his whole weight, one
that he can lean on in confidence, one
that is worthy of trust and that will
uphold him should Itis feet slip. So nn
invalid in search of health. They dis
like to fall into tho hands of a doctor
nnd be experimented with. They want
to uso the proper remedy for their ail-
moot in tho start. They are only will
ing to take medicine on condition that
it will make them well. Now there is
one remedy whose cffoct is certainty.
It has been tried and tested in thou
sands of instances and has never once
failed. It is called Smith’s Tonic Syr
up. Its principle was discovered by the
eminent Dr. John Bull, of Louisville,
Ky. It is pleasant to take, and pos
sesses all tiie good medicinal qualities.
It will cure chills and fever when quin
ine fails. It will also prevent and cure
colds, influenza, la grippe, etc. Its in
fluence is positive, and is a remedy
worthy of trust.
If j»ou want to develop the odor of
the violet, grow it in the shade.
I had calls for twelve bottles of
Smith’s Tonic Syrup one day before
noon. There is no chill and fever med
icine that gives such goo'd satisfaction.

Two years ago I had ulcerated sore

it impossible for me to recover. I was

futile. My mother seeing Swift’s Spe

decided to give me a course of *'
