180 Childrens’ Corner. THE DARKENED NURSERY. The re's, room enough in the nursery now; ’Twos.crowded a little before; For when the crib in the corner sat The rockers came close to the door; But the light was sweet and the air was soft, And the room was filled with cheer; For we all were charmed to the chosen spot By the voice of the baby dear. Where is the sunshine? Where is the noise? Where are the playthings gone? What shall I do with my empty arms? Sitting alone, alone! What shall I do with the vacant crib? Where shall I set his chair? Must the little one’s clothes come down ? , 0, let me leave them there! Fold the little garments, Lay them softly by; Put away the playthings, Check the choking sigh. Turn thee to thy duties, Take up life again, Newly consecrated By this precious pain. Work —thy face full heavenward; Give thy life to God; His sweet peace shall keep thee If thou “kiss the rod.” — EmngHvst-. CONQUERED BY KINDNESS. Dick Belmont was the worst boy in school so every body agreed, and truly they had grounds for so doing, for a boy more skilled in mischief it were hard to find. In performing all such feats as bending pins and placing them upon the sfints with the points up, for his school-master to sit upon, and “ringing” the master’s birch, as he callod it, which consisted in cutting the bark all around in such a manner that, when applied to the back of a pupil, it would fly to pieces, ho had no equal. And it was his constant boast that the master could not detect him in any of bis mischief. lie invariably received one whipping a week, if not more, for playing truant— “hookie” ho callod it—but then you know boy’s wisdom has not yet developed to that extent when it can devise means by which to prevent the master’s finding out when a boy plays “bookie.” Dick was as sharp aa any of them, but he could not do this. It was a little farther than his knowlodgo extended. But in spite of his mischief, I think my readers, when they have road this story, will join mo in sayiog that ho possessed a kind heart. And no person, in my estimation, can bo really bad, no matter how many acts of wickedness he may have committed, who has a truly kind and generous hoart, and is eve? ready to aid the suffering and needy. lam not upholding any one in vice; far from it; but then evil deeds may be per formed more from thoughtlessness than from a desire to do evil. Don’t you think so, reader? At least, this is the oaso soms.- timo3—and this was the case with Dick. One day Dick was missing from school. There was nothing unusual in this, but there was something unusual in tho fact that no ono know any thing about him. A3 a rulo, when he played truant ho always had somebody who kept a watch upon his movements, and informed the teachor, but this timo not a person could bo found who had seoa him! The next morning, however, ho was in his pinco, and while ho protended to bo studying diligently, he was busy contriving mischief. When the Lord’s Prayer had been recited, and the customary chapter in tho Testament read, tho teacher took down the birch, and said quietly, “Richard Belmont will take the floor!” Dick, who was industriously throwing “wads” at little red-hoadod Jake I'ishor, ceased at once, and stepped promptly out upon the floor. “Where were you sir, yesterday, that you did not como to school?” Dick hung his head, but did not reply. ‘ Will you toll me?” asked tho master. “Please, Mr. Borden, I don’t like to —I would rather bo oxcusod,” said Dick. “Rather bo excused, would you. Vory well, then I’ll tell it for you. You loft your home in tho morning, and neither asked your mother’s consent nor told her whoro you were going, which was very wrong of you indeed, and 1 think you deserve a good whipping for so doing!” “Yes, sir,” said Dick, tremblingly. “You wont to tho houso of a poor widow, about a mile away, who had no sons to aid her in getting a living, and there you devoted the entire day to sawing stove wood! Now, what do you suppose i’m going to do with you for thus breaking my rules?” “Ploasc, sir, I don’t know,” whimpered Dick. “ Why, I’m going to give you this book as a reward for good conduct,” handing Dick aB he spoko a volume of children’s stories, “and I hope you never will play truant again!” Diok’s stubborn nature was overcome. He graspod tho book eagerly, crying, “0. thank you, sir! I never will play ‘hookie’ again!” And lio never did. Thus you see when harshness failed, he was “conquered by kindness.” —Griding Star. LOTTY’S FOURTH OF JULY. Fourth of July had come. You could tell it, if in no other way, by tho bells, tho guns, and the flrc-craokers, all of which began at daylight to sound through the streets of the town of Milton. The wee folks got out of bed with a hop, skip and jump, for “ thoro was to bo such a good time, such a very good time,” as Lotty Hay told her mamma, “ and it, will last all day long till night. Won’t it bo nice, mam ma ? ” “ I don’t know,” said Mrs. Bay, in such a tired tone of voice that Lotty said, ” What ails you, mamma? Are you sick?” “ I fear I am,” said Mrs. Ray. 15 My head aches badly, but that need not keep you home, my dear; I can keep tho baby very well.” “Jane would not have gono homo if sho had known you would hsvo been sick to-day, would she? " asked Lotty. “ I would not liavo liked to ask Jane to stay,” said her mamma; “she has so long had it on her mind to go homo to-day. It is six months since sho has boon thoro. You may help me wash tho dishes; thon you can put on your white dress and go to tho church, for eight o’clock will soon oomo.” Thoro was to be n Sundsy-school picnic, and the place was a woods half a milo from town. First they would moot at tho churoh, and form into lino; Rnd tho boys woro to bring their drums and flags, and all woro to inarch along, ns gay and happy as could bo. Lotty did what sho could, and then sho went up to her room, and took her whito dress from tho closet, and hor bluo sash from the drawer. But just thon a loud scream came from the baby, and Lo*ty ran to see what was tho mat ter. But baby cried ou hard aa ever, and Mrs. Bay sat with a pale faoo on tho chair, doing her he?it to quiet him. “ 1 will take him and give him a rido in his coach; ho likes that,” said Lotty. “I will keep him thoro till ho gets to sleep, so do you go, mamma, to your bed and lie down. A nap may take your pain away.” “I- fear you will bo Into for tho picnic, Lottv.” “ 0, no, I'm all right,” and the girl gave a brave smile. Baby Bay was a cross boy that morning, and would not go to sloop for a long while, and some time before ho did so the clock struck eight, so Lotty knew there could be no picnic for her that day. Sho shod a few tears —sho could not help it, but she knew she was doing right to stay at homo, though it cost her a struggle to do it; for Lotty was a bright, merry girl, who liked fun and frolic just as well as any body. When tho baby got to sloop, Lotty went up stairs on tintoo, and found that her mother too was asleep; then sho went out on the front porch, for she heard tho sound of music, Hnd thoro she saw them coming. A largo Has: was carried in front, and smaller ones behind. There was Tommy Twigs and his father with soldier caps on their heads, the father with a flute ana Tommy with ft drum, pound ing w-if ho meant to beat the head in. Two of the boys held up a banner with George Washington looking at his father’s cherry tree, with a hatchet in his hand, painted on it with red, black and green paint. What matter if the hatchet did look nearly as large as the tree? The children thought it fine, and Billy Stumps, the boy who painted it, felt as proud as any artist ever did over a great picture. The girls called out, “ Come, Lotty.” “Mother’s sick, Jane is away, and I have to stay with the baby.” “ Too bad,” and “ How sorry I am,” said the girls. There was a sob in Lotty's throat and a tear in her eve, but she gave a smile never theless. and aid not say a word. She watched until tnev were out of sight, and then went into the house to see what she could do for mamma or baby. m Lotty's father had been to New York. They did not look for him until the next day, but when the cars came in at ten o’clock, Mr. Ray came too. “How is this Lotty?” said he, aa he saw her out on the back porch with the coach. Lotty told him all about it. “ You are a darling child, but you must not lose the picnic if I can help it, so run put on your dress, and make ready, and I will j be back soon.” When Mr. Ray came back he brought with him Aunty Jones, a poor old lady, who was a good nurse, and did not care for picnics. She was very glad to earn a dollar by staying and taking care of Mrs. Ray and the baby. Lotty’s mamma did not kpow that she had stayed at home till she’went up to kiss her good-bye before starting with her father. llow glad every one at the picnic was to see Lotty. “Come, Lotty, hero's tho swing; it’s your turn now.” “Come, Lotty, phy croquet with us;” and “0, Lotty, join this game, won’t you?” sounded all over the ground. Do you wonder why all loved Lotty? It was because she loved others and cared for i others before herself. — Young Folks’ Kctce. Our Young Folks. BE STILL IN GOD. Be still in God!

THE CLASPING HAND. 1 want you to notice tho peculiarity of Christ’s kindness to the neglected and vile. He crossed their threshold as a guest; he went into their house as a friendly visitor. He sat down with them an on an equal foot ing. Ho made himself at home with them. Ho suffered them to make entertainments for him. He drew up with them to the house hold board. Ho ato with them, and drank with them, and talked with them in cheerful, social converse. Ho maintained no distance, kept no reserve; opened his heart, opened his lips, warmod and brightened them in the light of his benignant smile, and made the hour and the place full of the joy of bis com forting presence, 0, what good this did them! This wsb friendship that cost something, and that meant something; it was genuine and true. It gave himself to thorn and it won thorn to himself. - If he had stood aloof and sent Bomo messago to them across tho chasm be tween, if ho had dealt in robukes, or even in invitations from a distance, he would have tained nothing. Ho roust prove what was in is heart; and if he were snv of them person ally, ho might have talked love for a life time and made no converts. It was tho act ing out his love, going under their roof, tak ing them by the hand, brushing his garments freely against theirs, reclining with them at supper, for a time a member of their family —it was this that testod him and won thorn. The example of Christ remains for his peo ple. If was not, in this matter, an incident of his life; it was characteristic; it ran its golden thread through all his intercourse with men. There is nothing taught us more explicitly by the whole record, than tho use tho Savior made of his personal and social powor to recover and elevate the lost. Wo make but little progress in social re form. More than eighteen centuries have gono by since tho true method of this reform was so beautifully illustrated, and yet how few have been tho trophies of Christian charity from those whoso character is not more clearly expressed than their treatment when wo call tnem “the abandoned.” We are quito willing to stand on our immaculate social heights and fling a tract down below, and point our wandering brothers and sisters to somo isolated shelter wo have provided for them; but wo are not willing that their feet, climb they ever so diligently, should cross our threshold or that ours should cross theirs. Ah, the hand that only points is too cold, too white, too distant! It is only the clasping hand that can guide ono astray, warm with a brother’s love find sinewy with « brother’s strongth. O, that Christian people would bo true, at whatever cost, to the ideal of Christian bc neficenoo! Innumerable hands, I speak what I know, are stretching up out of miry places in the midst of us, to tako hold of some help ing and saving hand. Tho hand that was wounded touched them; shall not ours? HOW YOUNG MEN FAIL ’• Thoro is Alfred Sutton home with his family, to livo on tho old folks,” said one neighbor to another. “It seems hard, after all nis fathot has done to St him for busi ness, end the capital he invested to start him so fairly, ft is surprising he has turned out so poorly. 110 is a steady young maß, no bad habits, ao far aa I know; he has a good edu cation, end was always considered smart; but ho doesn’t succeed iu nny thing. lam told ho has tried a number of different kinds of business, and sunk money every time. What can bo the trouble with Alfred, I should like to know, for I don’t want my boy to take his turn.” “Alfred is smart enough,” said tho other, “and has education enough,” but ho lacks the ono element of success. lie never wants to givo a dollar’s worth of work for a dollar of money, and thoro is no other way for a young man to make his fortune. Ho most dig, if he would get gold. All the men that havo succeeded, honestly or dishonestly, in making money, havo haa to work for it, tho sharpers sometimes tho hardest of all. Al frod wishes to soo his train in motion, and let it tako caro of itself. No wonder it soon ran off tho track, and a smash-up was the result. Teach your boy, Friend Archer, to work with a will when ho does work. Givo him play enough to make him healthy and happy, but let him loam early that work is the busi ness of lifo. Patient, self-denying work is tho price of success. Ease and indolence eat away not capital only, but worse still, all of man’s nerve power. Present gratification tends to put oft duty until to-morrow or next week. It is getting to be a rare tiling for the sons of rich men to die rich. Too often they squander in a half-score of years what their fathers were a life-timo in accumulating. I wish I could ring it in tho oarß of every aspiring young man that work, hard work, of haul and hands, is the price of success.” —CoiHtlrg Gen/fmrra.

MAKE YOUR PARENTS HAPPY. ! Alas! that it should eVer be necessary to urge such an exhortation! Our parents! What emotions are stirred, what hallowed memories are revived, by the venerable and beautiful words—mother! father! How the words come burdened with self-sacrificing and generouadove! Our mothers, who kissed us last at night and first in the early morn; frptuwhose gentle bosoms we drew the juice -11 e ’ j OD w^ose s °ft and faithful breasts we j our weary heads; whose careful and led us along and shielded from a thou sand dangers our childish blindness never saw; whose sympathizing words and soft touch soothed our hearts and wiped away our tears. Our mothers, God bless them! who watched in lonely midnight hours, when sick ness had bowed our heads with fever, feeble ness, or pain! How many gentle admoni tions, bow many wise and gracious counsels, when temptation or evil companions threat ened to lead us into wrong! And now, may be, that we have come to man’s estate, and are far from the roof that sheltered our child ish heads, who is it that pursues us with her love, and surrounds us with her prayers? Who but that loving and gentle mother, whose bosom glows with quenchless love for us? Father! how all that is manly, diligent, and honorable comes to memory with, his name! How his ceaselesß toils and careful providence supplied our needs, and his love for us moved his arms, and gave him patience for his cares and labors! How he raised us to bis manly breast, and kissed us o’er and o’er again when the weary day had passed. He sat us on his knee, and taught us words, then taught things and told stories that cheered and stored our minds. As years rolled on, how he labored for our good, and, by precept and example, sought to make us wise and blest. Our parents! how much wo owe them, and how persistently wo should labor to make them happy! Let us think, in each scene of life: how would my parents have me acquit myself; and let tho thought prompt us to manly and honorable doing. Remember, all tho happiness your honors or success in life may bring you is fully shared by your father and mother. They live their lives over again in us. They smile with our joys, weep with our sorrows. AndO! if dishonor blackens our name, it throws a midnight shadow on their souls! The saddest sight we ever saw was a poor, heart-broken mother, weeding and kissing hor sad farewell to her criminal and. unhappy son, who was, in a sow hour3, to sufier the murderer’s just but tremendous doom! Let tho thought of father and mother boa shield in temptation, and a prompting to all that is puro and true. —•Trams Civilian Ailmcnfe. THE MOTHER’S PRAYER. Once there was a good rnothor whose chief prayer for hor little boy in his cradle was that lie might have a loving heart. She did not pray that he might bo wiso or rich or handsome or happy cr loarnod, or that others might love him, but only that he might love. When that little boy, whose name was Ed ward, grew up, it seemed as if his mother’s prayer h>M been answered, and that, in mak ing it, she had been wiser than she knew or dreamed. She had not prayed that ho might bo wise; but somehow the iove in his heart seemed to make him wise, And to lead him to choose what is best, and to remember all tho good things he was taught. She had not prayed that ho might bo rich; but it turned out that ho was so anxious to help and serve others, that he found the only way to do that was to get the means of help ing; and so he became diligent, thrifty, and prompt in business, fill at last bo had the moans ho sought. Edward’s mother had not prayed that he might be handsome; but there was so much love and good will manifest in his face, that ale lovod to look on it; and its expression } it handsome, for beauty attends love like its shadow. The prayer had not been that ho might be happy; but—dear mo! how can there be love in the heart without happiness? Edward had no time for moping discontent, for re venge, or aoffer. He was too busy thinking what he might do for others; and in seeking their happiness, ho found his own. But was he learned? Os course, whon he found it pleased his parents to have him at tend to his studies, ho did his best; and though there were many boys quicker and apter than ho, yat Edward generally caught up with them at last; for love mado him at tentive and earnest. But last of all, though Edward loved others, did others love him? That is the simplest quostion of all. You must first give lovo if you would get it. Yes; every body lovod Edward, simply because he loved every body. And so I aaviso those little boys and girls who think they arc not loved, to put to themselves the question, “ But do you love?” — EmU-j Carter, in Tke Kurterg. Household Beading. THE JUGGERNAUTH~ To tho Juggernauth Oar Festival, in India, an unusual interest has been lent this year by tho correspondence between tho Governments of India and Bengal on tho subjeot of pre venting those eruefdeaths, by accident, which have been reported to you in several years. The Lieutenant-Governor reported to the Government of India, when asking for its ad vice and instructions, that, in his opinion, the time had come for stopping the dragging of such cars as were dangerous to life. “If we were still in a bigoted Hindoo country such things might bo permitted; but in Bengal the rulers are Christiana, half the population are Mohammedans, half the remainder arc abo rigines, outcasts from Hindooism, Brahmins, and nothing in particular. There is but a limited Hindoo population, who have very little enthusiasm for this kind of thing, and the heavy cars ore with great difficulty moved by people, many of whom are, it appears, ryots on the temple estates, and otherß driven unwillingly to the work t or people who take it up for reasons not religious, some for fun, some for profit. But he would tolerate nil cars not dangerous to life.” In a subsequent letter he amplified this by a no means exag- S rated picture of the state of Hindooism in c centers of intelligence, by giving tho sub stance of opinions collected from native gen tlemen, like the Maharajah of Burdwan, who would atop dangerously large cars. Although, Sir George Campbell wrote, tho Car Festival had its origin in a religious idea, and though it can still raise feelings of enthusiasm in the breast3 of elderly women or other such per sons, it hRS undoubtedly degenerated into a fair, or more gathering for amusement. The correspondence has ended in the Government of India agreeing with that of Bengal that the nuisance section of the Criminal Procedure Code provides for the evil, and that a discre tionary power may bo left to the responsible magistrate of stopping any car which ho deems to ho unsafe, in which act he will be supported by tho Government. The festival at Serampore was this year a striking com mentary on the above description. Fourteen miles above Calcutta, on tho right bank of the Hoogly, a pious Hindoo has erected, by his last will, a fine ghaut for tho pilgrims to the Seramporo Juggernauth. On Wednesday last, the day before the festival, a few boats only were seon at tho spot where, in former years, thousands used to throng. When I landed, the temples were sounding tho hour of evening prayer on discordant gongs; nude ascetics, fresh from tho hill of ashes, were wandering about among timid women in charge of somo elderly priests. Beggars dressed up with extra hands and hoads, and colored to represent the deities of Hindooism, were silently presenting their plates for offer ings. Soon the sparse crowd cooked their evening meal or ate their parched rice and lay down on tho ground to sleep away tho hours till Juggernauth appeared in his oar. Next day, for tho thousands of former years thoro woro literally tens. Even Sir George Campbell’s "elderly females” found it more interesting—in tho caso of a group of simple women from a distance, at least—to study tho dross of a party of English ladies who had oome to see tho sight, and to listen to tho words of ono of them at the very time that the shapeless block of wood was being hoisted up to its place on the car. More than one na tive Christian preacher, too, had a good audi ence. All tho booths, shops, and shows of th«r "Jftttra" were there as usual, but almost neglected. The pice, or farthings, which | each devotee offers to the priost on the car for a consecrated garland of white flowers ! were few. After the orders of the Govern ment, the English magistrate was on his met- i He, believing that he could so supervise the j dragging of the car this year as.to prevent fa- i tal accidents. Policemen, native and En-! were everv-where. But, up to 2p. at., the hour which he fixed as the latest, the priests failed to get men enough to draw the unwieldy erection on its twenty-four vast disks ol wood, although their own tenants were there. The second and rival car further ou had then the turn, but the ropes broke at the first pull, and there it stands to this hour a melancholy spectacle. Toward sunset the first car was dragged the usual distance, the temple having succeeded in inducing a suffi cient number of hands to draw. But there was little of that indescribable roar when the idol is lifted up to its place—a cry, half sono rous, half bleating—which in former years I have heard two miles away. Never has the festival been such a failure, though it has an nually been falling off. The priests ascribe it to the interference of the police, who pre vent accidents that give eclat to the occasion. Some, evidently orthodox Hindoos, whom I asked, declared that the heat was too great to allow people to come from a distance, and that the epidemic fever had weakened many. But all the priests and orthodox sorrowfully allow that the Car Festival is not what it once was. — London Times. THE POWER OF LOVE. A friend of mine was anxious to bring a certain youDg man to the Savior. They were strangers to each other, and when my "friend was pressing 011 him the necessity of salva tion, he looked at him and said: “You do not know me; if you did, you would save your self the trouble which you take about me, and for which I thank you, but I am too helpless a case. I have just come out of the penitentiary; my character is blasted; my reputation is ruined through my own folly, and now I see no prospect of reformation— l can never redeem my character again.” My friend saw ho had to change his tactics, as thero were no signs of softening—no signs of repentance. “Willyou como to my house and have supper?” was his reply. “What!” said the young man, “bring me to your house! bring a thief among your family! Surely, you do not mean it, sir?” “I do,” replied tho ambassador of Jesus Christ. “Then I will come, 9ir,” said tho stranger. The young man knocked at the door at the appointed hour, and sent in his name. This Christian man received him very cordially, and introduced him to his wife as his friend, and, whon they were seated, said to his little daughter, “Emma, go and shake hands with your papa’s friend—put your hands around hia neck, and kiss him as you kiss papa.” Tho little girl climbed this poor young man’s knee, and kissed him; but that kiss was enough. Bursting into tears as the great fountains of his heart were opened, he told out his life of guilt, and then gladly received tho faithful instruction given him. What won him? What broke his heart? It was lovo, and love is power. Go ye forth, then, ye ambassadors of Jesus Christ, in the mighty power of this God-given love, and you too shall win many a homeless wanderer, and many a precious soul. FORGIVING OTHERS. Many people have the impression that it is our duty to forgive others the wrongs and in juries they have done us, whether they repent or not. Ido not so understand the Scripture. Peter asked his Lord, “ How oft shall I for give my brother? Until seven times?” Jesus answered him: “Not until seven times, but until seventy time3 seven.” “If thy brother trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee and say, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.” Here the conditions are expressed—“ If he jturn,” etc. What does this imply ? It im plies, if he does not “turn to thee,” and say, u I repent,” thou Bhalt not forgive him. If this is not the meaning, then the text has none. Tho obligation which the injured brother is under to forgive his brother’s tres pass, depends entirely upon whether bo com plies with the condition—repent or make confession thereof. All that is here required of the injured party is, that he be ready to forgive hiß brother whenever he complies with the condition.— D. Wellman. From Our Mission Booms. Indian Love-Feast, Oregon Confer ence.—A correspondent of tho Methodist gives the following interesting account of fruit in a field where the sympathies of the older Methodists were much drawn: A large number of converted Indians were present in the love-feast, and added greatly to tho interest of the meeting. Four or five of them witnessed for Christ, and such thrill ing testimonies I have seldom been privileged to hear. The chief of the tribe said: “Thir teen years ago I was not as lam now. Then I was covered with rags; now lam clothed. I was very poor, had a bad heart; heard Jcsub calling me; he invited me to come to him; I did, and he took away all my sins, and gave me anew heart. lam happy and on my way to heaven. I have put away my Indian heart, and now have the heart of a white man. Want all my people to come to Jesus.” A glorious work has been accomplished for these Indians by the efforts of Father Wilbur, the Pioneer Methodist on the Pacific coast. Four hundred and fifty of the Yakima tribe have been brought to Jesus. They are clothed and in their right mind. Many of them dress and live like their white neigh bors, cultivating large farms, and working at trades like others. Two of them are mem bers of our conference, and there are five ex porters. Rev. W. C. Chattin, late of the New Jersey Conference, is laboring with great success among the Siletz. In three months forty-two of them have been con verted and united with the church. Among these are the chief imd many of the leading men of the tribe. As cool a person, under the circumstances, as was ever heard of, was a young nobleman, who, in a frightful railroad accident, missed his valet. One of the guardians came up to him and said: “My lord, we have found your servant, but he is cut in two.” “Aw, is he?” said the young man, with a Dundrary drawl, but still with anxiety depicted on his coun tenance. “Will you be gwood enough to see in which half he has gwot the key to my car pet bag ?” Obituary. It is due to the memory of. the late George Surface, that his friends should make some note of his departure from earth; for when a good man falls his place in hard to fill, and we can only learn his true value when that place is va cant. Mr. Surface was born Oct. 26th, 1807, in Mont- f ornery county, Virginia, and was married to iiflß C. Haymaker, the daughter of a local preacher of the M. E. Church of the same county, who still survives him to mourn the loss of a kind and careful husband. Shortly after their marriage, which took place July 24th, 1828, they joined the M. E. Church, and made a profession of religion. From that time their house became a home for the minister of their church. The path of his life was calm and his end peaceful. About fifteen years before his death he suffcretFa severe attack of sickness, wherein his friends despaired of his life. When very low, he remarked to those who stood near him that God would let him live fifteen years longer, and did recover accordingly. As the limit of the .fif teen years drew near, he frequently told his friends he would soon die, though in good health; he made this remark to me last January, though in perfect health at the time, but gave me no reason for his conjecture. As he neared the period he counted the months, weeks and days of his earthly so journ with entire confidence, and departed after a short illness, on the 25th of last June, about the time the fifteen years expired. During hiß sickness he remarked to his son-in-law, Rev. John L. Weaver, of tho Virginia Conference, that he feared he would die hard; “buL” said he, “I can repose my head on Jesus, ana breathe my lifo out sweetly therg.” After calling the mem bers of his family around him, he took leave of them and commended thnm to God, then calmly went to his rest, JMfm Mmwnsu..

M’LANE’S CELEBRATED Liver Pills, FOR THE CURB OF Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is some times mistaken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affect*! with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax j the head is troubled with pain,. accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is ge nerally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough i9 sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, hi3 feet are cold or burn ing, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low ; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to trv it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Se veral of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where * ffw of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the li ver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dp.. C. M’Lane’s Liver Pills, in case? of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results.
