Fossils.
Fossils, they tell us, arc petrified
forms of plants and animals dug up out
of the earth. But like many other
words, the term is used with a differeut
signification, and anything cr anybody
may be called a "fossil."
Now as for us, we are very anxious
to be delivered from fossilized human
beiugs. As a rule, they stand in the
way of progress and enlightenment,
and are a thorn lo the flesh to all who
come into contact with them. They
made up their'mind3 forty years ago
or perchance only ten years ago, for
some fossils are quite young-aud since
that day no change of opinion has ever
been allowed. Every question of life,
morals, and theology has been settled,
and now with them there are no open
questions; and if you-unfortunate one !
should chance to say your mind is not
made up on some questions, or if you
should chance to say your convictions
ou a. certain point are undergoing a
change, these wise fossils would shake
their heads.and look at you doubtfully,
as if to say,: "Poor wavering one, tye
pity your instability.
Now we have not an objection to urge
against one's being firmly convinced of
the truth of his creeds : but, we beg
you, don't be a fanatic. No truly wise
man will ever say that the convictions
of to-day are never to be changed-that
a question once settled ts never to be
re-examined. The truLh is, frequent
change of opinion oftener indicates prog?
ress than it does instability. There is
such a thittg as a weak pride of con?
sistency-a cowardice which prevents
us from saying, "I have been wrong all
my life." There :s a false anxiety
about being true to oar principles rather
than about seeking to be sure our prin?
ciples are true.
The best and bravest have struggled
from error into truth by allowing ques?
tions to be re-op?ned, and while the
process may sometimes be humiliating
to our intellectual vanity, it is yet a
duty binding upon us tobe always open
to new light and new" learning. The
fossils in the Christian Churches are
this day greatly retarding their prog?
ress. A time was when a philosopher
was incarcerated for advocating the
doctrine that the earth and not the sun
moved. That was an era of fossilism.
There are some to-day who would
scarcely do better if not held in check
by superior forces. Let us thank God
that these forces exist. This is an age
of progress. There is not much danger
of oar progressing too far. Let us
make a manly effort to keep abreast of
the times, and not fall back upon the
creeds of other years, if honest investi?
gation can establish their incorrectness.
Let us believe that all truth comes from
God, and is imparted as a reward to
honest investigation. Thus believing,
let us seek this truth, and even greater
revelations may yet await the patient,
toiling student, who, in devoutness of
heart and life, seeks to cultivate a re?
ceptivity of spirit, an oneness of heart
and a teachableness of mind.

Everybody seems to know that, but !
how few appreciate the converse of the |
statement, namely, that he who keeps ;
talking about Christ will find his mind !
and heart growing more full of Him j
all the time? Thus a Christian's very j
presence is forceful. A nobleman once
visited where Fenelon was residing ;
he admired the quiet believer's beauti?
ful life exceedingly, but he said after- ;
wards, "I had to leave the house, or
become a Christian in despite of myself.*'
it was only that Fcnclotrs sweet life j
was a sermon.
When young Hedley Vicars hud his .
open Bible on thc table in his tent. ;
that his gay companions might sec that
be. had determined tobe a Christian, he
displayed a courage which challenged
opposition and compelled admiration, j
It did not occur toa man who had had his ;
training at. hooje and in thc field, to j
think of hesitation in that hom vf bo
2*oie resolve.
"TIRED MOTHERS."
A little elbow leans upon your knee ;
Your tired knee that has so much to bear,
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a '.hatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Of warm, moist fingers folding yours so
tight.
You do not prize this blessing over-much,
You are almost too tired to pray, to-night.
But it is blessedness ! A year ago
I did not see it as I do to-day.
\Ye are so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine, till it slips away.
And now it seems surpassing strange to me
That, while I wore the badge of mother?
hood,
I did not kiss more ok and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night, when you sit down to
rest.
You miss tue elbow from your tired knee.
The restless, curly head from off your breast,
The lisping tongue thai chattered con?
stantly, '
If from yoar own the dimpled hands had
si i ;>ped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm
again,
If the white feet into the grave bad tripped,
I could not blame you for the heartache
then.
1 wonder so. thai mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown :
Or 'hat the footprints, when the days are
wet,
Are f-ver black enough io nrxke them
fro iv u.
If 1 could End a ?title muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor.
If i could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And bear its patter in my home once ?
more.
If I could mend a broken curt to-day,
To-morrow make a cart to reach the
sk v.
There ir* uo woman in God's world could ;
say
She was more blissfully content' than V.
Bul, Ul the d? in ty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head,
My singing birdiing from its nest is flown,
The little boy I used to kiss, is dead.
A Throne of Grace.
Thank God for every errand that
takes you to a throue of grace. What?
ever that may be that sends you to
prayer, count it one of your choicest
blessings. It may be a heavy cross, a
painful trial, a pressing want ; it may
bc a broken cistern, a cold look, au uti- i
kind expression, yet if it leads you to j
prayer, regard it as a mercy sent from !
God to your soul.. Thank God for an j
errand to him. Stay not from a throne j
of grace because of au unfavorable state j
of mind. If God is ready to receive
you just as you are, if no questions are
asked, and no examination is instituted,
and no exceptions are made on recount j
of the coldness of your state, then count j
it your mercy to go to God with your
worst frames. To linger from a throne
of grace, because of an unfitness, and
unpreparedness to approach it, is to j
alter its character from a throne j
of grace to a throne of merit.
If the Lord's ears are open only to |
the cry of the righteous when they !
seek him in certain' good and acceptable j
frames, then he bears them for their j
frames, and not because he is a God of !
grace. It is the privilege of a poor j
soul to go to Jesus in his worst frames, j
To go in darkness, to go in weak faith, j
to go when everything seems to say, j
Stay away, to go in the face of opposi- ?
tion, to hope against hope, to go in the j
consciousness of having walked at a !
distance, to press through the crowd to !
the throne of grace; to take the hard, i
the cold, the reluctant heart, and lay it ?
before thc Lord-oh, what a triumph is ;
this of the power and the grace of the j
blessed Spirit, in a poor believer.- !

Children's Tombs.
Westminster Abbey is full of the re- ?
mcmbrauces of great men and famous i
women. But it is also full of there-;
metnbranccs of little boys and girls, |
whose deaths shot a pang through the i
hearts of those who loved them, and ;
who wished that they never should be j
forgotten. Almost the earliest royal :
monument fri this abbey is of a bcauti- ;
ful little deaf and dumb girl of five j
years old, the Princess Catherine, .
daughter of King Henry III., who J
loved her dearly. She was not forgot?
ten, and her two little brothers, and :
perhaps four little nephews, were buried !
close to her, as if to keep her company, i
And so there are two small tombs in j
Henry VI L's Chapel of thc two infant :
daughters of King James I. Over one :
of them are some touching lines written !
by an American lady, which all moth- ;
ers should read. And to the tombs of ;
these two little girls were brought in \
after days by their nephew, Charles IL, I
the bones of the two young murdered j
Princes, which in his time were discov- ;
ered at thc foot of the staircase in the
Tower. And there is in the Chapel of!
St. Michael another tomb of a little;
child that died from a mistake of its |
nurse : and wc know from her will that
she never ceased to lament thc little
darling, and begged, if possible, very
urgently, to be buried beside it. And
there is a monument in thc cloisters
which contains only these words : "Jane
Lister-dear child," with the dates of
thc child's agc and thc record of her
brother's death It is an inscription
which goes the heart of every one. It
was in the year 1G8-. just a month be?
fore the great English Revolution, but
the parents thought only of "Jane
Lister,'' their "dear child."-Good
Wordk.
Neighbors.
A minister was soliciting aid to for?
eign missious, and applied to a gen?
tleman, who refused him, with thc re?
ply, 'I don't believe in foreign mis?
sions. I want what I give lo benefit
my neighbors.'
'Well,* replied he, 'whom do you
regard as your neighbors Y
'Why, those around me '
'Do you mean those whose land joins
yours?' inquired thc minist*r.
'Yes.'
'Well,' said thc minister, 'how much
laud do you own V
'About five hundred acres."
'How far dowti ?lo you own V
'Why I never thought of that, but [
suppose I own about, half-way through
'Exactly,' said thc ministci ; 'I sup?
pose you do. and I want tjiis money for
thc Now Zealanders thc mon whose
land j"ins yours on thc bottom.'

Important Call
! Thc State Convention which is to
: meet in Columbia on Tuesday, Sept.
j 27th, will need reliable information as
j to thc real strength of thc Prohibition
j sentiment in thc State. This will bc
? indicated somewhat by thc number of
! persons who will leave their business
i and atteud its sessions. But, besides,
j it will bc highly desirable to know thc
j number of petitioners for a prohibitory
! law.
! I therefore hereby earnestly request
j all persons who are circulating petitions
to push the canvass vigorously during
I the present mouth, and mail the papers
j to me by the first of September, that I
j maj? have time to count the names ac
I cording to counties, aud report the re
! suit to the Convention Let us have a
j full representen from every County, as
I well as from every Church and Tem?
perance Organization iu the State.

Cathartic Pills
Combino, tho choicest, cathartic principles '.
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad- \
justed to secure activity, certainty,v and .
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex- j
p?riment, and are the most effectual rem- ;
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
derangement, of the stomach, liver, and i
bowels, which require prompt and effectual \
treatment. Avrcn's .PILLS are specially ;
applicable to thi:\ class of diseases. They j
act directly on wie digestivo and assinii- j
lat ive processes, and restore regular :
healthy action. Their extensive use by ;
physicians in their practice, and by ail ;
civilized nations, is one of the many ;
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine. ;
Being compounded of thc concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances, i
tb.ey are positively free from calomel or j
any injurious properties, anti eau bc admin- ?
istered to children with perfect safety. ;
A visit's PILLS aro an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indices- :
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, :
Foul Stomach and Breath. Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of 3Icmory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, j
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,

Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout, j
Piles, Disorders of tho Liver, and all j
other diseases resulting from a disordered ;
state of the digestivo apparatus.
As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these PILLS :
are the most thorough and searching cathar- \
tie tba;, ran lie employed, and never give
pam unless the bowels aro inflamed, and i
then their influence is healing. They stimu?
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
