In 1651, Obadiah Holmes was “publicly whipped” in Boston, “for denying infant baptism.” “For teaching the prevalent Pres-, byterian views on infant baptism,” I Francis Doughty was driven out of | New England in 1639. “According to Mr. Ward’s ac-1 count, the modern Mennonites plead the authority of Menno for the use of pouring and sprinkling as bap tism. But in reality it is a wide departure from the views of Menno, who says: ‘After we have searched ever so diligently, we shall find no other baptism but dipping in water, j which is acceptable.to God and ap-1 proved in his word.” “They reject* infant baptism, and refuse to com-1 mime at the Lord’s table with any who administer the ordinance to children, unless re-sprinkled.” The French Huguenots, thou sands and tens of thousands of whom suffered for conscience sake, ( in the sixteenth century, were Pres-, byterians and did not deny infant baptism. A Baptist account of the Wai- ( (lenses is as follows: “Their church officers, Heinerins says, were lush- . ops, elders and deacons; but the , distinction between their bishops and oilier elders seem to have been ( only that their former were theofll- , cial pastors of the churches. That they understood and prae- . ticed immersion as baptism is evi- ( dent; but whether they generally , practiced infant baptism has long pieen a matter of dispute. The . words of Reinerins seem to imply | that in his time—l2so—they were I of different opinions on this point. I The modern Waldenses in the val leys of Piedmont do practice it; but they have so changed in many . points since their amalgamation | with the Calvinists at the Reforma tion, having also received their pas- . •tors from them since 1603, that | nothing decisive can be hence, in- . ferred. Dr. Murdock thinks that the followers of Peter Waldo uni- . versally practiced infant baptism but he has given no authority for , this opinion. The only one of their . ancient writings which sanctions i; it is the Scriptural Calender, but | this, if genuine, is of doubtful date. [ ( On the contrary, ail their other , writings, from the Noble Lesson, in , 1100, down to their Confession of Faith in 1655, Dr. Gill affirms to j j be in favor of the baptism of he-1 1 lievers only. It appears certain 1 2 that the Cathari, the Paterines, the! Bereagarians, the Arnoldists, Pe-; ] trobrusians, and Ilenricians, i. e., j, the earlier Waldenses, as far as his- j tory testifies, vehemently opposed infant baptism.” 5 In his account of “Baptisteries” j - Brown says: “About the middle of ' f the third century, baptisteries be- j j gan to be built; but there were A none within the churches until tiie sixth century; and it is remarkable that though there were many <_ churches in one citv, vet, (with a a few exceptions) there was but. one i s baptistry.” In his description of a* e ! baptistery of the fourth century, Brown tells us: “In the middle of the great hall was an octagon bath which strictly speaking, was tl c ■ liaptistery, and from which the whole building received its name. Some had been natural rivulets be fore the buildings -were erected over them, and the pool was contrived to retain water sufficient for dip ping, and to discharge the rest.” Pelagius, whose theological opinions were condemned by the Council of Ephesus, and who, with his followers, was banished from Rome by the emperor Honorious in 418, said : “Men slander me as if I denied.the sacrament of Baptism to infants.” “I never heard of any not even the most impious heretic, I who denied baptism to infants.” Tcrtullian, who lived in the third century, “believed that sin commit ted after baptism was unpardona ble,” and opposed both infant bap tism and adult, insisting that in both cases baptism should be defer red to the dying hour. His idea was to avoid the consequences of unpar donable sins, i. e., sins committed after baptism. 1. “One baptistery” used by “many churches” unquestionably points to the Unity of the visible church before the rise of Popery. 2. After the rise of popery, with its spacious and imposing “baptis teries,” its immersion, and other innovations upon the simplicity of the primative church, men began to reason about religious duties; ' and diversities of opinion resulted in strife, and persecution. I 3. Two centuries after the leven of formalism had begun to work, * when “heretics” began to feel the iron heel of eclesiastical tyranny, the denial of baptism to infants had not yet been heard of. That and a good many other novelties have been heard of since, i 4. When reason, enlightened by the Word and Spirit of God, shall i have emancipated herself from .all I the errors of popery, there will be I one church and— %* Essay on Man. Man that is born of woman is small potatoes and few in a hill. He riseth up to-day and flourish eth like a rag weed, and tomorrow or the day after the undertaker hath him in the ice box. ! He goeth forth in the morning 1 warbling like a lark, and is knocked 1 out in one round and two seconds. 1 In the midst of life he is in debt, ; 1 and the tax collector pursuetll him J wherever he goeth. The banister of life is full of ( splinters, and he slideth down it J with considerable rapidity. He walketh forth in the bright! l sunlight to absorb oxone, and meet- | 1 eth the bank teller with a sight 1 draft for $219.15. 1 He cornetli home at, eventide and , 1 meeteth the wheelbarrow in his | ■ path, and the wheelbarrow riseth up | and smiteth him to the earth, and | falleth upon him and runeth one ! leg in his ear. In the gentle spring time he put teth on his summer clothes and a ‘ blizzard stricketh him far away ' from home, and lilleth him with woe 1 and rheumatism. I He layeth up riches in the bank, ■ 1 and the president thereof specula- j ‘ teth in margins, and goeth to Can ada for his health. In the winter he pulleth on his ' ( winter trousers, and a wasp that I ’ abideth in them filleth him full of intense excitement. He starteth down cellar with an . * oleander, and goeth first backward, I 1 and the oleander cometh after him | 1 and sitteth upon him. He buyeth a watch dog, and when I ' he cometh home late from the lodge 1 the watch dog treeth him until the ’ rosy dawn. He goeth to the horse trot, and j 1 betteth his money on the brown j' mare, and the bay gelding with a ‘ blaze face winneth. i 1 He marrieth a red headed heiress ! 1 with a wart on her nose, and the ! * next day her parental ancestor go-! ' eth under with few assets and many I £ liabilities, and cometh home to live I c with his beloved son-in-law.—Ex. ! —— i There is an old cabin near Win-! r Chester, Va., which tradition relates ! r was built by George Washington j c and once occupied by him during a s surveying expedition. 1 v I “A Skeleton in Every House.” It is said that this saying origi nated as follows: A young student of Naples, believing himself dying, and fearing that the news of his death would break the heart of his widowed mother, who passionately loved him, after much reflection adopted the following device: lie wrote to his mother, telling her that he was ill, and that a soothsayer had foretold that he could not re cover until he had worn a shirt made by a woman who had no trou ble—in fact, was perfectly happy and contented. The widow, in her simplicity, thought that attaining such a garment was an easy task, but, after inquiries among her friends, found that each had a secret care. At last, she heard from sev eral sources of a lady surrounded by every comfort, and possessing a husband who seemed to think of nothing but making her happy. The old lady hastened to her, and made known her wish. The lady made no reply, but took her visitor into an adjoining closet, where she was horror-struck at beholding a skele ton suspended from a beam. “For twenty years have I been married,” said the lady. “I was forced to marry my husband while loving another. Shortly after my wedding my former lover came one evening to bid me farewell forever. My I husband surprised us while togeth er, and instantly stabbed him,whom he unjustly suspected, to the heart. He then caused the skeleton to be preserved ; every day he makes me visit it!” The widow concluded that no one was without trouble, and, as her son had desired, she became reconciled to the idea of his loss. Every one has his troubles— “there is a skeleton in every house !” Previous Efforts Eclipsed. Professor Elisha Gray, of High land Park, has just completed an invention scarcely less wonderful and valuable than the telephone, of which he was also the inventor, but of which he waS defrauded. “Within a few days,” said the professor, “I shall give a private test of my new telaugraph, an in vention which will largely supplant the telephone. I have already tested it to my satisfaction, over and over again, and on Saturday I shall give an exhibition to some gentlemen from the east. I have just taken it to pieces to make some slight alterations, or 1 would show it to you now. “By this invention you can sit down at your office in Chicago, take a pencil in your hand, write a mes sage to me, and as your pencil mov es a pencil here in your laboratory moves simultaneously and forms the same letters and words in the same way. What you wire in Chi cago is instantly reproduced here in sac-simile. You may write in any language; write in short-hand if you like, use a code of cipher, no matter a fac simile is produced here. If you wish to draw a picture it is the same—the picture is reproduced here. The artist of your paper can, by this devi :e, telegraph h's pictures of a railway’ wreck or oth er occurance, just as a reporter tel egraphs his description in words. The two pencils move synchronous ly, and there is no reason why a circuit of 500 miles cannot be work ed as easily as ten miles. “There will be no trouble in catching words or sylables, letters or figures. No misunderstanding will result. Besides, it leaves a record at both ends of the wire, and there can be no dispute about what v’iis said. For all commercial trans actions this would be an invaluable feature. In ordering goods, or in transmitting names or addresses its superiority over the telephone is obvious. For desultory conversa tion, it is true, it would not be so rapid working, for the reason that one cannot write as fast as he can talk, but, on the other hand, it would save many of the delays and annoyances incident to telephonic communication. “When one person wishes to com municate with another by the tel autograph he pushes a button, which rings an annunciator in the ex change, or in the office of the per son with whom he' wishes to con verse. Then the first party takes his writing pencil from its holder —and this may be pen or pencil— and writes his message upon a roll ’ of paper. As he writes so writes the pencil at the other end of the wire. Fini-hing his message he adds a cross, or any other simple to ken that he has finished, when the second party takes down his pencil and writes a reply. Thus a conver sation can be carried on and when it is finished another simple word— say the number “30”—will indicate ' the end. Both paries have a full record of the conversation and each possesses the other’s autograph.— Chicago Herald. PUBLIC ROADS. I see some questions propounded and some suggestions made in re gard to ourroads in the News. I first thought I would not say any . thing in reply, but have changed my notion. First, 1 will ask, if there is any good to be accomplished by such communications? Does it ele vate the moral status of our coun ty? or does it elevate the one who writes them? Does it speak well for our county at home or abroad? Can any good grow out of it? Last, but not least, does it work any of the roads? I would say not. Os course, we all know how the roads are. We know something must be i done; but lets have wise and prac tical suggestions. We will always be willing and anxious to receive such. The idea of some one standing on the road side, waiting for some one to come along with an empty wag on, to employ such to haul gravel! Men on the road with empty wagons are not often in a mood to haul rock; and, then the idea of Hernan do, as my good friend calls him, letting as small a. thing* as the roads of Chattooga upset him ion making as .rm... t a discoverv a* the Mississippi river. Os course friand, when a man has brains , enough to attempt to make large discoveries he’d never let little things stand confronting him. Now then, dear friends ■of Chattooga county, lets set aside all abuse and newspaper reflection, ami apply the proper remedy : do more work and less talk, and when we want to write on the road question tell us some plan of fixing the bail places that will come within our means. By so d >ing you will help move the good cause upward. Don’t tell us some thing which you know we can’t do. Everybody ought to use their influ e ice with contractors especially when we see a better plan of work- ■ i ig than he, and never put ourselves in print so that we can’t advise with them. They are generally good men, and willing to exchange ideas if approached in the righ’t way. Sly experience is that those Complain most are not every tir/e the best friends to the roads. ■ Can’t get them to work any nor pay if they can get out of it. They want good roads, but sit back on their dignity and say go it or we will i blister you in the newspapers. Well, that tiriy be a good spirit, but I shall never believe it. As for my part 1 have not left a stone unturned that I could get over, neither do I expect to slop. I ami determined to d > all I can with the \ small means that I have, and I be- i lieve the majority of my contractors : will do all they can, ami those that -I fail wili find us close after them. Wei can’t pay a large debt of 1881 and ' do as we would like to do. I did ! not know when I was elected that we would be cut short of the “ad valorem” tax, but have to submit to it. I never heard anything last! year of bad roads—it must be that we have the wrong man in the lead. J. S. Doster, i There have been seven Chief Jus tices of the Supreme Court of the. United States. John Mar-hall ser ved thirty-four years; John Jay, six years; John Rutledge, less than .' one year; Oliver Ellsworth, five l years; Roger B. Taney, twenty-1 eight years; Salmon I’.

It’s the little things that tell— i especially the little brothers and ■ sisters. This world is but a fleeting show, ■ and to most of us all the good seats ' are taken. To stand well in the eyes of the ladies it is only necessary to give 1 them your seat in a street-car. The average woman is considered . too delicate to shoulder a musket, but nobody questions her right to bare arms. A Bradford woman was heard informing a neighbor that last night’s storm frightened her so that she “shook like an ashpan.” I Daughtei—“Ma, why does Uncle John say, ‘Er—er—’ so much when he talks?” Mother—“To err is hu man, my child.” . Coming home at two o’clock a. m., he found his wife dressed in deep black, and inquired the reason. “Mourning for my late husband,” , she replied. “Money is round, and made to roll,” said a spendthrift to a, raiser. , “That’s your way of looking at it,” replied the latter. “I say that money is flat, and made to pile up.” It is beautiful to behold at a ' wedding the sorrow-stricken air of the parent, as he “gives the bride ; away,” when you know that for the ' last ten years he has been trying to get her off his hands. This was written on the fly-leaf of a book on moral science : “If there should be another flood, for refuge hither fly; though all the world should be submerged, this book would still be dry.” Old Bachelor Patient—“ Doctor I feel miserable in mind and body. What shall I take?” Doctor (gruf fly )—“Take a wife.” Tlie jury brouirht in a verdict of -Not ■■ \ . His honor said, ad monish!. fly. to the prisoner: “After I this you ought to keep away bad company.” “Yes, your hono ’ you will not see me here again in a hurry.’ An old parish clerk was courte ously thanking a church dignitary for kind'y taking, on emergency, a village service. “A worse preacher would have done us, sir,” he said “if we only knew where to find him !” She was mad on the subject of music. A gentleman knocked at her door and asked: “Does Mr. Smith live here?” “No, sir; his room is an octave higher—in the next flat.” she replied in a pianissi mo andante tone of voice. “Doctor,” said the grateful pa tient. seizing the physician's hand, “I shall never forget that to you I owe my life.” “You exaggerate,” said the doctor, mildly; “you only owe me for fifteen visits; that is the point which I hope you will not fail to remember.” “Did you pick up in weight by going to the seaside last year, Smithley?” “I did, indeed, Brown ley—gained one hundred and twen ty-live pounds.” ‘‘Pshaw ! Impossi ble!” “Fact, my dear fellow. Come up to the house, and I’ll introduce you to her. We were married last month.” “How did it happen that the church was so crowded today?” ••Well, I’ll tell you. You sec the professor of theology preached, and on his account all the students came, on their account all the girls, on their account all the young men, on their account all the widows, and on theirs all the widowers.” An editor “out West” has occa sioned the wildest speculation to account for a bachelorhood pro tracted into the “sere and yellow leaf.” It is now explained that a postcript to a matrimonial offer did the business, and relegated the aforesaid editor to a further period of single blessedness: This seems to have been the substance of the correspondence: “Dearest," I hate carefully analyzed the feeling I en : tertain for you, and the result is substantially as follows: I adore you! Will you be mine? Answer!' : Then, after a moment, in a dreamy : absent way, he added : “Write only on one side of the paper. V> rite plainly and give real name, not nec essarily for publication, ' but as a guarantee of good faith.
