Sanctified Habbakuk.
The Boston Transcript is au
thorny for tins readable story:
“Another story that goes back to
the same nieetin house in Wren
tham is one of a worthy man name
Habbakuk P—, a resident of the
town and a faithful attendant
upon worship, who had been
blessed with four wives, one after
another. Habbakuk was rigidly
orthodox, as his name seemed to
demand, and was always in his
pew on the Sabbath. lie sat
there in his conspicuous pew, with
No. 4 by his side, on the first Sun
day morning after their marriage,
It was a balmy June day, and the
zephyrs from the open window
toyed playfully with tho brides
white satin bonnet ribbons and
the groom's silken locks. There
was a stranger in the pulpit, who
had exchanged for the day with
tho venerable Mr. F—, the pastor
of the church. After reading a
few Scripture passages thesfcrang
er proceeded to read a notice
w ] dcb be bad f ound - n the Bible,
wMch Wftg as {oiiows;
( < Mr Habba kuk P-desires
the prayers of the congregation,
that the death of his wife may he
sanctified to him for his spiritual
good.”
“Then, while the congregation
was between stupefaction and ex
plosion, the clergyman went on
with the services at a rapid rate.
He was at a loss to know why the
congregation seemed to be
throughout the remainder of the
services on the point of
laughter, but at dinner Mrs. F—
the pastor’s wife, explained to
him that Habbakuk P- sat
three rows from the front in the
broad aisle with his brand new
wife, and he had read an old
notice that Mr F---had proba
bly been using for a book-mark
ever since the death of wife No. 3.

A special from Memphis reports
that Rev. A. B. Graves, formerly
pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian
church of Atlanta, has become
insane. He was adjudged insane
in 1887, and committed to an in¬
sane asylum, whence he was dis¬
charged as cured about a year ago.
He has lately been travelling agent
for Prespyterian papers of Louis
ville and St. Louis, and las insan
ity suddenly returned and was vio
lently manifested when he reached
Memphis on Friday last.
Wine-drinking and cigar-smok
ing are bad habits. They impair
the pocket and mind, and will
lead to a waste of time.
Bo neither lavish nor niggardly;
of the two, avoid the latter. A
1 mean man is universally despised,
hut public favor is a stepping
stone to preferment. Therefore,
generous feelings should be cul¬
tivated.

blamed for a thousand things he
never thought of, works hard all
day, heips is subject to spring foyers,
people in office who forget
about it afterwards, and very fro

earnings; puffs up and does more

Of Pure Language.
The elegance of language can
be acquired by tho reading of
proper books, but they can bo
more readily acquired by exam¬
ple and companionship. Parents
who use chaste language will in¬
sensibly teach their children to
nse it. Some one has said that
“the Christian, when alone, has
his thoughts to wpten; in the fami
ly, his temper; in company, his
tongue.’’ In doing so, he will
illustrate his morning devotions,
by \ X { H actions through tho day.

Cnristian homes, purity of lnn
gunge is not prized as it ought to

of Georgia the roads are in such
condition as to be almost' impass¬
able, and consequently land in
those counties 1ms a small value
comparatively. The first step
toward securing good roads is the
organization of a state engineer¬
ing bureau to devise a sj'stem of
public roads, to agree upon plans
for making the-roads, and to frame
laws for keeping thorn in repair.
They could be kept in repair by
county convicts, For years we
have contended that in no other
way can county convicts be so
profitably employed as in work¬
ing the public roads.
