THE YOUXO ASTRONOMER.
NOVEMBER 22.
To-night, about seven o’clock, the Moon,
now nearly in its first quarter, will be in the
constellation Capricornuu You may per
haps see a rather bright star, a little to the
east ol the Moon. This star marks the eas
tern edge of Capricornus. On to morrow
evening the Moon will be in Aquarius, a few
degrees south of a triangle of stars forming
the Urn, from which the Waterman (Aqua
rius) is pouring a stream of water. Ibis
stream, you may trace as it. pourß down east
of the Moon’s place to-night. Ihe Southern
Fish is represented as drinking the stream.
This Fish you can easily find by a very bright
star, low down in the South-East. This star
is Fomalhaut. The Moon on Friday even
ing, will be still in the stream which pours
from the Urn. Oa Saturday evening the
Moon will he in the constellation Pisces—a
very uninteresting cluster of stars, about
which, nothing need be said just now. r l he
Moon, on that, evening, will be only a few
degrees south of the Square of Pegasus.
By Monday evening the Moon will be enter
ing Aries. And on Tuesday evening, the
Moon now nearly full, will be fairly in Aries.
A few degrees to the Northwest of the Moon
on that evening you can see two stars form
ing the eyes of Aries (the Ram.)
To-morrow (Thursday) evening the Moon
will he very near the Planet Saturn, scarcely
half a degree above it. This will give you
all a good - hance So know the Planet. The
Moon p-s s quickly, about twelve degrees
ill t venty-f ur hears, to the east, leaving the
Pi snet behind. Having found it once you
on i a il v hunt it up alterwards, and watch
i' from li ght t night, and from year to year,
Ire in rmr youth, to middle life, and old age.
‘ ■ He ran not stop, or go astray,
But my immottal spirit may!”
Those who will rise early enough on next
Tuesday morning, will see Venus (now
morning star) and Mars very near together,
very little more than a degree apart.

THE LITTLE PEACEMAKER.
Little Mary was on her way to the Sunday
school, when she saw two ragged boys fight
ing. She at once went to them and said:
“You must not fight.”
Strange to say. she succeeded in putting
an end to the quarrel. Having done so, she
said to the two boys:
‘‘l am going to Sunday-school; will you
come with me?”
After some gentle entreaty on her part,
they were induced to go with her to the Sun
day-school.
Twenty years after this occurrence a min
ister was addressing a large gathering of
children. Among other things he told them
what Mary had done twenty years before.
He then said:
“Would you like to see Thomas, who was
one of those two ragged boys twenty years
ago?”
“O, yes,” cried the children.
Pointing to a gentleman on the platform,
he said:
“Now, “wauld you like to see James, who
fought with Thomas?”
“Yes. yes,” was the response.
“Well,” he replied, “I am James, and I
am a minister too.”
“Now would you like to see Mary, who
took the two ragged boys to the Sunday
school?”
The children, now quite interested, at once
cried out:
“Yes, yes; let us see Mary.”
Pointing to a lady sitting in front of the
platform, be said:
“That is Mary with a blue ribbon on her
bonnet, and she is my wife.”
THE STUDENT’S DECISION.
“ Come, Harold, go with us to night, and
we’ll have the grandest fun,” said one
young student to another. “The moon sets
at eleven—just the right time for us —and
we’ll slip out after that and go down to
old Rushton’s cider press. I know where
the best barrels are rolled out, and we'll
make good use of our gimlets, and suck cider
through a straw to our satisfaction. There is
some capital apple jack there, too, if we have
the luck to find it.”
“ I am sorry you took the trouble to come
all the way up here to invite me, Walter. I
assure you I shall never make one of such
a party, ami if you will take my advice, you
will stay in your room and prepare your les
sons for to morrow. Depend upon it, no
good will come of the excursion. Such
scrapes almost always end miserably at the
best.”
“ You are quite too old fogy for me Hal.
I will leave you to your meditations. You
may reconsider the question and come along.
It isn’t pleasant holding yourself aloof from
others in your class —makes a fellow mark
ed, and looks pharisaical.”
‘•lam sati-fied with the company I shall
have in spying away,” said Harold, dryly.
Hekr ew, and the other knew, that the
be.-t meu in the institution were not those
who joined in the ra’ds on the cider barrels.
Oace m re the steady student warned his
companion that he would surely regret the
sttp, now or hereafter, if he went with the
rest to steal eider; but he spoke to deaf ears,
for all the heed he paid.
The night wore on, and Harold was so deep
ly engaged in his studies that the moon went
down and found him still with the candle
lighted. The old college clock tolled eleven
hefore he could think of retiring—too late,
perhaps but he had the satisfaction of feel
ing that he had made full preparation for to
morrow’s lesson. So there was no wakeful
anxie'y over unsolved problems.
Just as his light was extinguished, and
while he knelt there in his quiet room and
committed himself and all his dear absent
ones into the heavenly keeping, a hand of
foolish lads stole down the shaded avenue
and out into the public street. Taking a short
cut,, they soon reached their destination,
and with many a whispered joke and smoth
ered laugh, proceeded to business. They had
just got well under way when there was quite
a variation in the programme. Two burly
workmen and an officer appeared among
them, arid there was a sudden scattering of
ihe boys like mice in a mill.
The men caught all they could, and among
them were poor Walter, who was served with
a night’s lodging in a dismal country lock-up.
with two unshaven burglars for companions.
He made a sorry figure in the court room next
day, and it was with much difficul’y he got
clear. The disgrace and trouble were good
essons, however, which he never forgot. He
'oundthatit was wiser and better, even for
this life, to cast in hiß lot with tfie steady, and
law-abiding. “He that walketh with wise
men shall be wise, but a companion of fools
shall be destroyed.” —Temperance liunner.

THE HORSE’S FORE-FOOT.
The foot should be neither large nor small,
but of a neat appearance, and medium size.
We are no friend to a large, fl t foot, but re
gard this formation as a very undesirable
one. It suggests to one that the companion
bones of the skeleton, of which it is a part,
are likewise soft and porous.
It is not a large, flat-footed man that can
walk the farthest, or leep the highest; and
the spryest and swiftest footed animal' of the
world have small, upright, horny hoofs. The
chamois, antelope, red deer, and wild horse
all have this formation of the leet. The
mule has a hoof that many horse men would
call contracted; yet who ever saw a mule
lame in the foot? Our idea is that a medium
sized and neatly proportioned fo&t is as good
u sign in the horse as in the man. A foot
that is ezc-ceedingly large or quite small, is
suggestive of disease in the interna! struc
ture of the foot. The great hue and cry
about a “ wide, open heel,” is a humbug.
The heels that never look that way are tho e
of a Morgan or French horse, both of which
are noted for foot soundness. We do not
remember to have ever seen an unsound foot
under a Canadian horse; and yet the hoof
of the Canadian horse is invariably upright,
nearly circular, mule-shaped. We commend
these suggestions to those who are forever
crying “contracted feet” against a horse,
unless he has a foot large and flat as an
old fashioned frying-pan.
Touching the shape of the foot we would
say, the hoof should he longer on the
ground surface than broad ; and the breadth
should be greatest directly across the center,
lessening gradually both toward the toe
and heel. Avoid a very high heel, and
also a very low one. Either extreme is
objectionable.
The outer surface of the foot should he
smooth, and of tine texture; free from rings,
depressions, or protuberances. Bril lie hoofs,
shun; and select the fine grant'd, tough,
looking hoof.
The slant of the hoof on the ground sur
face deserves close attention. Ihe true and
proper angle is übout fifty degrees, if less
than this, aud the hoot is very deep at the
heels, it is predisposed to contraction, and
likely to become inflamed. If, on the other
hand, the reverse is the case, the sole is
likely to be flat, the heels too much expos
ed, and internal weakness follows. A low
heel in connection with a very sloping pas
tern is to be especially avoided.
The frog should be large, elastic, and
healthy in appearance. It should not be al
lowed to become too dry ; nor, on the other
hand, to be too spongy and soft. It is prob
ably intended by nature as a kind of elastic
cushion, and should never be tampered with
Let it grow as large as nature permits ;
knowing well, that in her adaptation of
means to an end, the good old dame is wiser
than a whole collegeof surgeons. — Exchange.
DRYING FLOWERS IN SANI).
The Iloral Cabinet says : There are
many of our brilliant flowers, such as dah
lias, pansies, pinks, geraniums, sweet wil
liams, carnatious, gladiolus, which may
be preserved so as to retain their colors for
years. White flowers will not answer
well for this purpose; nor any succulent
plant, as the hyacinth or cactus. Take
deep dishes, or of sufficient depth to allow
the flowers to be covered an inch deep with
sand ; get the common white sand such as is
used for scouring purposes, cover the bottom
of the dish with a layer half an inch deep,
and then lay in the flo *ers, with their stems
downward, holding them firmly in place
while you sprinkle more sand over them, un
til all places between the petals are filled
and the flowers are buried out of sight. A
broad dish will accommodate quite a large
number; allow sufficient sand between.—
Set the dish in a dry, warm place where
they will dry gradually, and at the end of a
week pour off the sand, and examine them;
if there is any moisture in the sand, it must
be dried before using again, or fresh sand
may be poured over them the same as be
fore. Some flowers will require weeks to
dry, while others will become sufficiently dry
to put away in a week or ten days. By this
simple process, flowers, ferns, etc., are pre
served in their proper shape, as well as in
their proper color, which is far better than
to press them in books. When arranged in
groups and counted on cards, or in little
straw baskets, they maybe placed in frames
or under glass.
SMALL FRUITS IX GARDENS.
But few people seem to know the value of
small fruits to a family when grown in their
own gardens. You commence with straw
berries ; they continue about a tnonlh. You
pick perhaps six to twelve quarts a day.
You have them on your table as a dessert, if
you please, at tioon, and your tea-table is
loaded with them at evening, and you want
little else but your bread and butter. Your
family consume in one way or another about
eight quarts a day, and while they last no
medicines for bodily ailments are requir<d,
as a quart of strawberries daily will general
ly dispel all ordinary diseases not settled
permanently in the system. After strawber
ries, raspberries come, to continue about
three weeks; then we have blackberries,
where the climate is not too cold for the cul
tivated varieties; then the currants ripen,
which remain with us till the early grapes
mature ; and, taking the season through,
any family with a hal, acre of land in a gar
den can grow small fruits that make country
life delightful, aud at the same time hun
dreds of dollars can be saved in the supply
of the table, as the writer knows from forty
years’ experience.

good hours. 3. Be especially tender to the
cow at milking times. 4. When seated,
draw the milk as rapidly as possible, being
certain always to get all. 5. Never talk or
think of anything beside what you are doing
when milking, fl Offer some caress, and
always a soothing word,when you approach a
cow and when you leave her. The better
she loves you, the more free and complete
will be her abandon as you sit by her side.

Our Sister Ei.izarf.tb Chupp, suddenly
fell on sleep in the ear y pait of the night of
the Ist Sabbath in August, at her residence
near Lithonia, Ga.
She was a daughter of Joshua Marbut, of
Newberry, S. C., and born October 13, 1814.
She was married to Jacob Chupp about 'lie
Ist of June, 1835. a dear, good man of pre"
cions memory in all the churches c-f 'his sec
tion, as well as in the community generally,
and who had preceded his companion to the
better land only a short twelve month pre
vious to her own departure. This precious
couple left a most worthy example to all
under similar circumstances, in that they
inaugurated their union by a united dedica
tion to the service of the Lord, for they were
happily converted and ut.i ed with the Chinch
at Trinity, Newbc-rry, at the same time,
under the ministry of Itev. Philip Cromer.
Some two or three years of their earlier mar
ried life w->re spent in Newberry, whence
they removed to DeKalb, where they remain
ed until death. It is as little as can be said
of sister Chupp, that she was a quiet and
faithful member of the M E. Church, Sou h,
a true help meet to her husband, and a most
losing and faithful mother. That she was.
and still is in the affectionate remembrance
of many, was well attested by the unusually
large concourse of persons from 'ar and n-’ar
who attended her obsequies. Her youngest
son, who, until his great less, was hopefully
pursuing his studies at Emory College
says, “All I can say is, that she was a pre
cious mother. Never was she known to he
angry; or rather, to exhibit it; the grace of
God being sufficient to enable h< r to possess
her soul in patience. She remarked to me
the day before she died, that she dif not ex
pect to live long, for old age would soon take
her away; but said she: / am ready."
While the parents, after serving their gener
ation, have fallen on sleep, their sons and
daughters are following on in their fa-th and
Church, addicted to ministering to the saints
and every good work.
But I cannot close this sketch without al
luding to the death of another sister of the
same congregation, because of its quick suc
cession and suddenness. Early next morn
ing, while yet dark, sister Bond was found
dead by her shocked and heart-broken hus
band and children. I had conversed with
her late the previous afternoon, when she
assured me she felt the peace of God in her
heart, although accompanied with great
bodily affliction and sadness. True, herend
was sad —terribly sad. She was a victim of
complicated disease which wasted mind and
body, and we can hut hope she d< eih well
in the hands of a merciful God whom she
had faithfully served many long years. We
were all comforted in her funeral sermon by
brother Dodge, aud by the t.imt ly remarks o*
her brother-in-law, ltev. F. Haygood, of
Conyers.
And yet again, as I see no mention in the
Advocate, scarcely had these two been
buried until sister Hkrkinijton of Stone
Mountain, a member of another of my con
gregations, is taken from great, and protract
ed bodily Buirerings, but full of faith, from
the Church militant to the Church trium
phant. And this is our consolation: “Bless
ed are the dead who dip in the Lord.”
Jno. A. Reynolds.
Mas. Maria J. Stkkbixs, whose maiden
name was Hyde, consort of Mr. M. L. Steb
bins, was born in Springfield, Mass., 1811;
and died after a short, illness in Live Oak,
Fla., October 2!), 1870.
She came to Florida with her husband
some nineteen years ago, and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, soon
a’ter. to which she was trongly attached.
She was a woman of uncommon excellence.
Few women possessed a mind more highly
cultivated, and so richly stored with practical
knowledge. Her purse as well as her heart
had been converted to God. Her liberal
hand was always open to the relief of the
distressed,and the various Church enterprises
received from her efficient and willing help.
She was one of a committee of three ladies
to build the first Methodist Church in Live
Oak, Fla. Her death was sudden—stricken
down, and died the second day. She was
not permitted to express either by word or
sign the state of her mind as she approached
the brink ot the cold waters But it was my
privilege to know her intimately, having
boarded in her house as ber pastor, and I
can testify to the purity of her character, as
an active, zealous, aud unwavering Chris
tian. Her discriminating sense of propriety,
ber refined manners, and strict government
over herself, prepared her to move in the
circle of her friends and acquaintances, with
gracefulness and dignity. Her distinguish
ing qualities were concealed rather than dis
played, but could not escape the notice of
those who were iasored with her society and
conversation. She remarked to me while
her pastor, that she knew that like all our
fallen race, she was a sinner before God,
destitute of any personal righteousnes sulli
cient to recommend her to His favor, arid
that being impressed with this conviction,
she built her hopes on the Rock of Ages.
Having the witness of the Holy Spirit in her
self, she knew that she posse sed that tailh
which unites the soul to Christ and purifies
the heart; therefore, she looked confidently
for the mercy of God through Jesus Christ
unto eternal fife. Her religion did not con
sist in experience without practice; for all
of her inward illuminations, affections, and
comforts, seemed to have a direct tendency
to practice. She exhibited the right way ot
being lively in religion; and that liveliness
did not consist in being lively with the ton
gue, but in deed; not in bei- g forward in pro
fession and outward show, and declaring her
own experience; but chiefly in being active
and abundant in the labors and duties of
religion. “Not slothful in business, but fer
vent in spirit serving the Lord ” and “serv
ing her generation acc.rding to the will of
God.” In her death, her husband, two
sons, relatives,aud friends, have experienced
an irreparable loss. May they follow her as
she followed Christ. And under this afflic
tive dispensation may they console them
selves with the thought, that while her body
moulders in the grave, her immortal spirit
lives in the presence of God.
E. S. Tyner.
Coi,. Matthew H. Talbot, died in Wilkes
county, Ga.. September 27, 1876.
The subject of this notice was called away
in the prime of fife, and in the midst of bis
usefulness. In early life, ambition led him
to the balls of learning, where he battled with
his classmates for the highest honors of the
institution. Immediately upon graduating
he began the study of law under Judge Cone
of Greensboro, Ga. Hardly had he begun
the practice of his chosen profession, before
he was called to defend his country from an
invading enemy. He served first as Captain,
then as Colonel in the Confederate army;
aud was always at his post ready for any duty
required of him. After the war his failing
health compelled him to abandon the prac
tice of law. for the less trying duties of a
q liet farm life. He was no plodder; but was
constantly investigating, experimenting, and
improving, with an energy far beyond his
strength. His great desire was to make his
home happy, his farm attractive, and his life
useful. In September, 1870, he united with
the Church, ori the spot where his great
grand father, grand lather, and father, wor
shiped. The prayers of a sainted father who
died when his son was only four years old
were not uttered in vain. A megeiful God
heard, and in his own good lime, answered.
Col. Tabot was no drone. From the time of
his con: ec-tion with the Chut eh till his death,
he labored for its advancement. So long
as he had the strength, he superintended
Sabbath-schools—for a while, two, on the
same day several miles apart —encouraged
prayer-meetings, and assi-ted in revivals,
never for any consideration neglecting family
devotions. He was generous to a fault. The
needy never turned from his door with heavy
hearts He was a strong supporter of all
benevolent schemes whether of the Church
or world, and ofien went beyond his means
in his benefactions. As ihe gentle south
winds were beginning to low the hold of
winter, and the spring birds were cheering us
with their songs, an i nature was making
ready to put on her green garb, early in
the spring our brother was seized with a
violent hemorrhage of the lungs which pros
tratsd him beyond the hope of recovery. By
the unrea-iiing watchfalue-s of a loving wife
and skillful physicians, he gradually regain
ed his strength so that he was at tjpes able
to ride several miles. But the long, hot,
trying summer days, proved too exhausting,
and a gradual decline sat in, when, day after
day, he pat wasting away, and patiently
awaiting the end. And as the bright colored
m .pie trees of the distant lo w lands began to
give prernot ii ns that nalu-e was entering
upon her winter’s sleep, he passed away to
his reft —gmtly, and peacefully lal'ing asleep,
trusting, as he 'old ihe wri er sometime be
fore, ‘ in J esus alone’' —hearing but one bur
den -and that in faith—his wife and little
ones. May Israel s Shepherd ever keep and
defend them. Friend.
Mrs. Rebecca Davis relict of William
Davis and daughter of John and Mary
Heape, was born March 6, 1811; and died a*"
the residence of her son in-la v, Joseph Mar
vin, in Beaufort county, S. C., September 2,
l7fl.
She was converted and joined the Metho
dist Church at Swallow Savannah Camp
ground when twelve years of age, and con
tinued to he a useful and worthy member of
the same until she died. Her piely was of
that pure and fervent type which leads to the
performance of every plain duty As soon
as she was married she requested her hus
band to erect at once the family altar, but as
he hesitated to do so, although a member of
the Church, she proposed to 1 im to read the
Scripture lessons and she would pray. This
they continued to do for two years when he
assumed the duty of praying a3 well. She
was a widow about fifteen years, having
buried her husband, a son, and a daughter,
the same year, all of whom were professors
of religion. The only remaining one of her
children, sister Marvin, dying in peace nearly
three years ago. and leaving three little
children, sister Davis took charge of them,
and would take them with her to the place
of her private devotions and (here pray God’s
blessings upon them. To her, death cuine
very unexpectedly. She was as well as usual
on gui-'g lo bed, but was taken ill during the
night, and although every remedy was ap
plied, she dir-d at about sunrise the next
morning. Although leaving no testimony as
she was about to “pass through the valley,”
yet it was my privilege to have frequent con
versations with her on the subject of religion
in which she always expressed herself as
having the witness of her acceptance with
God. A pure and good woman has gone
home to her reward. A large circle of rela.
tives and friends mourn her departure, but
their loss is her eternal gain.

Mas Sai.uk P. Russem, was born Oct.
710, 1848; was married to Mr. O. \V. D.
Russell, of Chester county, July 16, 1874;
and died Oct. 20, 1876
She was the eldest daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. J. C. Craig, n c ar Cheraw, S. C., and
had been for several months with her pa
rents ; but soon fell a vie im to consump
tion. But a short while was she the light of
her new and happy home, and the charm of
an indulgent husband, before she returned
to the paternal to re to die. Her deathbed
scene was not associated with terror or fear.
She had, early in life, joined the Methodist
Church, and it was my sad pleasure to ad
minister the Lord s Supper to her just before
she died. She spoke to her mother of death
merely as a pleasant journey. She assured
all that she was ready. Though a great suf
f--rer, yet not a muriuer escaped her. Quiet
ly she 11 fell on sleep,” and we trust that she
rests with Christ in peace. May the Lord
sanctify this bereavement to the stricken
ones, and bring them ail to “ meet beyond

Mbs. M. Cali.ie Mitchell, formerly Swain,
was born in Troup county, Ga., July 19,
1854; and died near Mellonville, Fia., Sep
tember 17, 1876.
She was a gentle, gifted woman—one of
intelligent and sincere piety, whose sweetness
of spirit attracted all to her. She had been
happily married to Capt. L. T. Mitchell and
had gone with him to their new home in
Florida. There she was attacked by heredi
tary disease aud after a short time of sußer
ing was called away. She knew she must
die, though to none else was event
expected, and she made her house ready.
The grief in dying was such as a mother aud
a wife, a child with an aged mother and sis
ters, might well feel; but over even it, her faith
gave her the victory and she triumphantly
passed to her rest. Her life had few events —
the life of a loving daughter, and a tender
wile, and a devoted young mother, dying so
early, never has—but it was a Christlike,
beautiful life. G. G. Smith.
Sister Sarah Harris, wife of Thomas
Harris, Esq., died in Cobb comity, Ga.,
October 10, 1876.
She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in early fife, and remained a consist
ent member up to the time of her death. Like
many other professed Christians she wa3
sometimes in the valley low, and at other
times on the mountain top in her religiot.®
erj yments. She lived, in the main, aud
walked, with God. She reared a number of
chiidrett, and lived to see them all happily
converted and become the servants of God.
She left behind her a large number of friends
and a devoted husband to mourn their loss.
But what seems to be their loss is her eternal
gaiu. May God bless the bereaved husband
aud finally bring him to the home of the good
in Heaven. A. G. D.
Brother Wyley Underwood was born
Dec. 13th, 1833; and died August 13th 1876-
He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in October, 1875, and lived a consist
ent member. He had been a member of the
Baptist Church but not being convenient to
any church of that Denomination, he united
with the Methodist Church for Christian fel
