What with Passion-week, Passover and Presbytery, last weel^wasa very t'oolosiastioal one for all the people of Abbeville, Jew ami Gentile. The'/V<vmnir/ Itanner J yielding to the influences and surges-j tions of the time, has devoted much of its space to-day to matters connected with ; t>ese tliree interesting subjects.

Had space permitted, wejlshould hav?5 published in this is-; sue the most admirable sermon preached ! T by Prof. K ilev of Adgor College, Wai-j halla. It was delivered in the Presbyle-I rian Church last Sunday evening to al lariro congregation mado up of members I tif all denominations and of no denomination. Kvory one said that it was the j p l?cst sermon that has heen heard in Abbe- j Ville for a longtime. It was so catholic, so I Utterly the reverse of sectarian and nar-! hnV-minded, that it fell upon the minds! ^>f those who heard it "liko showers that j 11 tisher in the Spring and cheer the thirsty i ground." Clergymen and laymen alike were the better for hearing it. A' present j ci we forbear from farther comment.

Parker. "j On Good Friday, at one o'clock alter- 1 noon, the passing bell solemnly tolling from Trinity Church carried ttic sad tid-i'" ings to the people of Abbeville that the | a aged Mrs. Parker wan dead. Alter a | e brief illness death came to her at the ripe j age of eighty-two ycarsi It is not ours to 11) apeak of the lose .sustained by lier family | ^ of (tons, grandchildren and great-grand- j I> children; nor is it ours, now that she isi(* dead, to speak lier praises who while liv- |cl lng her life of sweetness and usefulness shrank froin nil appearance of ostcnW- J.* tion. Put We do not presuino when we rr sav that all Abbeville shares in the grief caiiscd by her death. .She was a part and tf a largo part of that noble company of J,] incn and women?of whom now only one j ti or two survivo?whoso lofty character '."j and great influence placed the Abbeville of half a century ago in the proud position t, among the towns of South Carolina which . she still maintains, a position which still w makes the sons of Abbeville feel that they ^ are the citizens of no mean city. Abbe- tf vi 11 o mournfully beholds the gradual dis- j r( appearance of the actors in those her he-j ^ roic days. Trinity church will long miss the veil- t erable form of Mrs. Parker in her acous- | u tomed pew. The church her husband!*5 founded will look in vain for one to fill j r< her place worthily. Her coflln was borne from tho house and laid in the trrave by I c< b' five of her sons and one grandson; and a j venerablo man, older in vears than her- cl ill self, her friend and fellow church-mem- j bcrs for many years, stood by her grave I and gontly let the burial clod fall upon I w her coffin a* the pjistor of the church she loved so well pronounced tho words, I "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." rtl Too Much Good .Matter. Our good friend nnd neighbor of the|\\ Ninety-Six Gvardian pays a compliment! in this wise to tho Press and Banner for ot which he will acrcpt onr thanks, with r\ the assurance on our part that wo never ct intend to leave Abbeville, no matter how d large the paper may grow, or how small *'j the type may get. lie says: tic Take notice, gen Drawn! Wo have three object Ions to the l*rcts and li'inner : 1. It tnkes too long to read It. Cl1 2. it has too mucli jrntxl matter. IKr 3. If It doa't Ktopnprcadinjt It will have to!?0 move to a larger town, and we'll lose it. JJJ This was said of otir last issue, which : had in addition to our usual full suppiy e>f reading matter, the great speech of Henry Ward Beeehcr, on tho Chinese I g" Question, delivered at Philadelphia, j od March 3. 177'J.

Pr smaller type, instead of the larger typefox; jjj heretofore. <lc We are are glad to note the fact that i ?r the publishers of the patent outsido on j J" which we print have taken this progres- tii give step. It indicates that their custom-1,h . , , ! PB ere too appreciate tho demands of the '] times and have made at least one stop for-' ward in the publishing bnstriess.

Hopeful (Pend.) and Mt. /.ion churches pre?nted calls for services of J. 1$. Adger, D. I)., nd were by him accepted. The pastoral relation between I>r. Adgcr lid Robert's church was dissolved. Rev. "John <?, Law who had been elected! vansreiistfttthe Walhalla meeting of this; resb.vter.v last fall,but upon Invitation of the j Ircular church. Charleston, had a sho>t time i lcreaftergone to labor for that church, pre-! nted an Invitation to supply that pulpit for j velve months. Healso presented a call from j arlington church of Harmony Presbytery to ;come their pastor. Presbytery referred the Ircular church Invitation, the Parllnirton lurch call, and the Presbytery's call to Kvan?llst work to a committee of which Dr. Ad?r whs chairman. That committee reported, t. That they roeommeud that Presbytery reise to allow hint to consider the Invitation om Circular church ; 2d, To allow him to loose between the call of Darlington to the istoral work, and the call of Presbytery to if t.vangeiisr worn. |I)r. Adsier urged the adoption of tlic report r? the ground that it would be unconstituonai for Presbytery to allow a Presbyterian linlster to accept a call to a congregational lurch, lie remarked at the same time, that 10 form of corlfcrogntlonal ehureh governlent was unscriptural and of mischievous ndenev. Rev. Mr. Law replied that the committee ad misapprehended his request. Hlsroquest as for permission to consider an Invitation om tlio Congregational ehureh and not for erntlssion at this stage to accept, whereas, io committee had refused hiineven permlson to consider the invitation, and thereby ?fused him permission to accept. Rev. S. I,. Morris asked Mr. Law if ho had ptied any papers in connection With tlie Cirilar ehureh. Rev. Mr. J.aw replied, "I signed the f'onstiitlon and Bv-I/aws of the. Circular church, hieh is Congregational, with the underandlng that my signing it wan only a mat:rof form, and not iij any way to a fleet, my Motions to my Presbytery, or my firm belief I i the Script uraln>'Ksof Preshyterianism " Rev. S. Ij. Morris then objected to his ac-1 'ptimr the invitation upon the ground that y so doing, In eonsequenrc of his having j gned the Constitution of the Circular i lurch, he would compromise ills Presbyteriilsm. Rev. \V. F. Pearson was In favor of grant-! ig him permission toa cept the Invitation, ] id offered an amendment to the report, i hlch would irrant Mr. Law the privilege of reepting, which was promptly laid 011 the 1 hie. Rev. ,T. I,. Martin said that Presbyterian111 was from CJenesis to Revelations. He mnd it in the earthly paradise and in the eavenly. He could not therefore, consent *0 Presbyterian minister preaching fifty-two in days in a year from a mutilated Bible. 'Iille expressing great admiration for Mr. *w personally, he condemned his course as rrCSUVlL-l lllll 111 ucvuiiiik mn nine; It! nil* her denomination. And said, that while rmlnian nnd other bodies of professing hrlstlans might be regarded as Christian lurchcs, they were not like the Presbyto?n?scriptural, healliiy, and prosperous lurches. He tlien moved u rc-commlttal, itM instructions to amend the report, aordlng to Mr. Law's exposition. This morn was lost. Dr. J. O. Lindsay was in favor ot allowing r. Law to aeeept the invitation though the lurch colling was ;not a Presbyterian conegation, If the brother felt it his duty to; i. He thought the saving of souls was more j lportant than the maintennnee of ultra esbyterianlsm. The report was then adopted, and Mr. Law ) is refused the privilege of considering the; II. Mr. Law then nsked permission to preach j Circular church until the first of June, itlng at the same time, that he had promls-1 to preach for that congregation for that! igth of time, nnd Up felt obliged to go. | jon motion to grant this request, the Mod ator ruled it out'of order. A brother then suggested that Mr. Ijuv 1 ight obviate bis trouble by withdrawing >nt this Presbytery, and eonncctg himself with the Charleston Presbytery, th the hope of a more favorable eonsidera?n from that body. This course was met th strong opposition, on the ground that it d the appearance of compelling him to ange his ^membership, He was dismissed Ch arl est on Presby t ery. [lev. P. E. Krlerson, D. P., from the coinIttoe to install Dr. Adger at Hopewell, indloton, reported their refusal to do so. for I e reasons: 1st, Tljut tlicy had not paid him I fill! for past sorvlcos; 2nd, That they had] dared their inability to comply with their < omises. and .'Id. That they could pay no saly monthly as promised, but would underke to pay annually. Presbytery sustained ecommittee. Subsequently a call for half I Tie was placed in Pr.

Text : "Foras In Adam nil die, even so In Christ shall till be made alive." 1 Cor. XV: tl. On this glad Kaster morn, accept. my dear brethren, a pastor's salutation and blessing. l,et us Joyfully contemplate the triumphs of our risen I.oril as they are recounted In l'salm and hymn and lesson, anil feast our souls uputi the glorious promise, the Inheritance of all the faithful, that like as we arc baptized Into his death, so by continually mortifying our corrnf t affections we Khali be burlrd'wlth him; and through the grave and gate of death we shall owe day pass to our Joyful resurrection. And yet along with all that Is Joyful and glad, a cloud casts Its shadow down upon .... #1.1.. chnilnll' ,?f > rowill tlie death of her who tins been truly a mother lit this our Israel?only yesterday' laid away jTo rent by kindred find affectionate friends, Iitmirl the sweet four* of Hint IIolu Mother | whom she loved so well, and who* prayers and comfortable word* soothed and composed I her In her dying hours. Put shall I call that a cloud which gives her the rest of Paradise for the 'labour* of earth, or that a shadow which for her has forever been dispelled by the light of the Saviour's presence? Nay. brethren, she believed on hlm.and while we that are left behind may grieve ond mourn for our loss, let usretileiiiber what the change has been to her, and that if she could spealc to us from that dear land of rest. It would be to bid us rejoice with her, for now Is her ? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended and Jordan passed." Nevermore shaii storm bent or billow roll across her peaceful breast. And now, WHAT MEANS THIS BEA VTIFl'I, DISPLAY of flowers and evergrf.ens, these heaps of nature's ornaments gathered to adorn and brighten this house of CSod ? Why on this of all days in the Church's calendar are the gardens and the wildwoods called on to contribute so lavishly of their gems and goodly things as oflerlngs to God In Ills IIolv Temple? Why have busy hands and loving hearts been active in tills work of making wreaths and crosses anil crowns toarrnv them before us on aitnr andde*k and font and pulpit, and chancelrall and wall? They hear a message to lis, one and all with unanimous consent, they speak to us ol the fact of Nature's Resurrection and life from the deathlike sleep of winter, and they whisper of. as they strikingly suggest and symbolize, tne ? ? I- Ik? Hitcm-rxellnn UU II I VITMtl 1, lUVWIUIMIII v/l HIV ..v. of Nature's Lord, while they call upon ur to remember tlmt Just so sin-fly its we shall c? down Into the dark and fold valley of the shadow of death, and our bodies he laid to rest in the bosom ot earth, beside our kindred dead, we, together with all that are IV? their graves "shall one day hear the voice of the Son of God and shall come forth ; they that have done pood, unto the resurrection of life; and they that havedone evil unto the resurrection of condemnation." They are Intended to convey In speaking symbols our faith in the promise, "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall urlse. Awake and sing, ye that dwell In dust, for thy dew is as the d?w of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead,"?and in the further promise, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave-I will redeem them from; death; O death. I will be thy plague; O grave, I will be thy destruction." And not only have these FI.OAVEHS OF THK STRING ' spoken thus eloquently though silently, but in the anthem with w hich our praise begun, and In the Psalm* that followed, the glad tidings of our Saviour's triumph overthe grave ?the prophecy and pledge ot the coming triumph of nil that arc his?have been caught up and wafted heavenward, to the glory of our ltlaen Redeemer, and thecomfort of His hopeful though struggling poople. And then In the appointed Ilrst lesson is spread beforo us the narative of the Institution of the il'aschal Feast, enjoined to be kept, more than three thousand years ago, and it has been kept ever since, whether in Jewish shadow or Christian substance, and will be kept to time's end "as sure as the moon, which God set for signs and for seasons, comes annually to her I'aschal maturity." So that as we thus read the original warrant for this festival and reflect that it has come down to us doubly sanctified as the ordinance of God to his chosen people under the old, and as an apostolic Institution to Christians under the new covenant. It Is with confidence and wlIh Joy that we may pass It to our posterity, saying, when our clildrcn auk, "\\ hat mean ye by this service "It Is the Lord's Passover"?"Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven of malice and wickedncss, but with the spiritual leaven of sincerity and truth." There Is but UTTI.E TIT AT IS NEW that can be said appropriate to this great day and the glorious truths it commemorate, and yet' there Is 110 cause for repining, because the old has u "springing and gerininant" freshness about it thai makes it ever new, and by repetition becomes 110 more monotonous than does the annual glad birth of spring or the softly* sad decline of autumn. Let us therefore strive to gather a few of the many gleams of the truths that like precious stones lie embedded in the apostle's declaration "As in Adam-all <lle, so also in tlie Christ shall all bo made all ve." The definite articles prefixed to the two names, Adam and Christ, in the original, bring out tlie contrast sharply end point to them as "standing alone In the world as the two Heads and Kcpreswntatlves, the one of the old creation, the other of the new; the one the author of^lcath to all, the other thefaiithor of life to ail." However we may account for it, the fuct nevertheless remains that every system of rollgion without exception, is based upon belief 111 a Supreme being, belief In a loss that has been sustained by man, best expressed perhaps by the word "fall," belief in the possibility of man's recovery from that fall, and hope of a reconciliation with the Supreme Itcing, from whom rnuii has been eslranged by liis mil. upon this as a base. I repeat, lias risen the superstruct Ion of every religion known in modern or ancient times, from Fctlclilrrm to Judaism, from 1'ursceisni to the newest of religious cults. On this point we liavi the evidence of a consent more unanimous perhaps than can be found to support any other fact of human history ,uid conduct; a guaranty which irom the time of Aristotle to th<! present, has passed into a canon of truth, against which it is vain to contend, and from the iorce of which "common sense" does not sceK to escape. IN m*l)j>jn.sjl AND MITIIHA1HM, the two most completely developed and systematized of pagan religions, we And more than once repealed, a yearning, a presentiment that a Savior who should be manifest to men's senses, "would eventually sloop down from heaven, and by an net of grace and condescension master all our deadliest foes and reInstate us In our lost inheritance." Jn the post-Christian writings of the Persians there 16 frequent mention of a glorious hero-prophot by whose ministry the empire of evil shall be subverted, earth herself restored to something of her first beauty, and the wrongs of man redressed. In Plutarch's age this beneficent dlvlno-humun person became knosvn not only as Benefactor but as Mediator, an office whiehour Blessed Lord fills for us, by virtue of his having assumed human nature In union with his Divine person, and carried It triumphantly through .death and Paradise and up to Heaven, wfier'c with* that union of human and divine still subsisting, he Mtteth on the rlnht hand of Ihe Father. We see therefore how the Idea of 11 Mediator between G?>d and man, one whoeould bringdown God to man, and elevate man up to union with Ciod. was developed in heathen systems, by what means, "God over all" alone knoweth, but certainly developed, and how the person realizing the idea, wan worshipped, though It was never claimed that he ever appeared as a historic character. Karly in our era Mithraism was flourishing in the city of Home, and foreign legionariesof (Vosar's army planted It in York, the Itoinun capital of Britian. This system has since been merged to a great extent In Bnddhlsm, and Buddhism has ever presented a most formidable resistance to the spread of Christianity, pobably from Its similarity toil in some respects, probably also from the singular fact that Buddhists like Jews nro longingly, almost despairingly looking to the future foPtho coming of the great person whose appearance on earth will be the 8ignalforthe rc-establishmcnt of righteousness. peace and purity. These things bring us to the very THRESHOLD OF REVEALED KELIOION. They comtuct us ns It were to l.heaepulohreof men's hopes, as faith did the women to the tomb of Jesus oil the morning of the Resurrection, but they cannot roll away the stone, and reveal to longing souls thegrand met that in Christ our race lias an "historic Savior, entertngonce for all Into the Hue of humanity, and once for ull achieving Its redemption by the offering of Himself to God." And when these shadowy systems were losing their freshness and lorce. at that very time, in.the word* of another "the western world excited by the sen era I shaking of the notions, wns now yielding to the voire of the ccle?tlal charmer: It was gazing on the silent march or that obscure yet glorious, of that sufTerlug vet majestic system, to whoso birthplace the inquiring Magi canioof old, the first-fruits of the Gentile harvest. "When they saw the young child, with Mary his mother, they fell down and worshipped him."

Dr. Ucddlngs said that J; ic members of the committee, feeling them-1 J* i.ves not full V competent to de?l with tli? j * ibject. and distrusting their own Intuitions f " Its jnerlts, had consulted many authorities ' it could find nothing which treated of it In {] le light In which It seemed to be regarded by j ic mover of the resolution, which was the J* moderation of the question not only of the , nyslclun'sduty in smoothing the pathway j, i the grave, but as to whether he was Justl- j ' uhle in shortening life to wive the patient, j ifl'ering when death was absolutely and r wi/wlf !* />*rf it I n Thov r/Ullfl Otllv fllill till* ! , lbject alluded lo Id the doctrine that it the | u liyslclan'sduty to make death as easy an i i isy as possible when It la Inevitably noon to ; t ;cur. They hail considered the subject In its i), icdlcal, religious, moral, ethical and legal jf ipects. Medically thorc was no authority r :id no precedent of practice to Justify the'n icrllice of life except when it became neces- i ii iry to save life. In the consideration of itii lorally, the committee found itself hedged.: j ,'hlle it did seem that In home cases human-1 | y might be entitled to the same mercy ae-! a >rdecfthe brute creation, and have its death ji rtlflcially hastened to relieve It from an ag- | d 11y whlcli could only end in dissolution, yet' \ lould the door be opened lo such practice it' e ould lead to manifold horrible abuses. In I \ s ethical aspcct they were met with similar* j 0 lltlcultles. i'hey could not report as ethical j t lat wblclt is contrary to the uses of society,' ] ic laws of which forbid the taking of human ! | fe. In Its religious aspect the committee i ( ad felt hardly competent to consider the i p lbject at all. Taking religious views of the | jj Hitter, Kuthanasia, in the sense contempla- y rd, would necessarily be rejected, partly be- f| uise It was contrary to the generally recclv-1 c 1 opinion thata certain aqiountof suffering (] as the Divine decree. The greatest difDeul-; t r, however, was eucountcd In the legal as-; c sets of the subject. According to all codcs r ' civilized men. the law wus distinct anal ear, "Thou shall not kill." In the present I ate of society the practice of Kuthanasia I as illegal, and coulu only be regarded as tlie 1 c raetleeof murder. He did not condemn the i11 irther Investigation of the subject however,: 0 id thought it would be well to continue its i ? jnslderatlon from year to year, when final- ) * , a written report, willch was not deemed,* - present to be expedient, could be prepared . b ntll there was a change In the laws and in ' a leicty, there would be no possipllity of ma-j 0 lug recommendations upon the practice of' utnanasia. It might appear to the un-]w linking inind easy enough to administer an ! 8 '!??? nf chloral or iiiornhlnc. to shorten ' " ic pains of n dying patient, and he did noti ' >ul>t tliut It hud been frequently unwitting-. done by physicians having no other ideal < ian to cuse the lust moments.

This has been caused by what Is a i?chnlcnlly known as "Making PesHeh." o Making Petach," (the Hebrow word for Pass- e .ver) Is equivalent to housecleanlng. Tliede- p Ign of the good housewife Is not only to ren- ?] vate her honte, but likewise to remove ev- f, ry particle of leavened matter, that may t, osslbly lurk In any out of the wpfc" corner? uch as crumbs of bread, cake, cracker, or ny compound that has fermented. Not only p mist the pious Hebrew not nartake of any J. read or food that has raised or fermented, 0 ut nothing whatever of the kind must be in |i ils house. This idea Is carried out with a lit- ] ralncsx that it Is sometimes amusing. For jj ustance, the youngsters of the family are In- i arlably taken in hand and their POCKETS TL'UNKn INSIDE OUT tl o dislodge tl\e crumbsof bread or cake which j 1' io small brtV i pockets ever;were free from, i* Ift.er broom ntid scrubbing brush have done {: h?lr work In every room and part of the v louseand the purifying proccss has been palnu11y prolonged, there still remains the cere- ^ uony?to cap the climax?known as "cho- j: nets." ('hornets, pronounced with the ch i " iard, like h strongly aspirated. Is the compre-1 iciiilve term that includes everything that j 2 k leavened. Burning the chomets is quite a | " ittle drumatic performance between husband i, ,nd wife, among the strictly orthodox Jews, j H 'heday previous to Passover evening, the! .; Iwelling having undcrgoftc a thorough rcno- ft ntion, the wife takes several slices of buk-^ r's broad, which, of course, Is chomets, and, j * trapping them separately in paper, throws , ? me package in one corner, another behind ' he door, another In a cupboard and so on. ^ ['lie little ones regard the whole proeeedines J n white-eyed wonder. The husband now J, ;oes from place to v'ace and collects all the , ackages of chomets. Tho next day. the , lay before Passover, a bontlrc Is made in the | V ard, and they are burned to the no small de- , Ight of children, appropriate prayers being), banted.

Having contained leavened t' iod, they are unfitted for this holiday, lence, every pious Jewish household has a peclal setof artlclesfor the kitchen and ta- y le net aside and securely locked away, which re brought out only once a year, at the Pass- * ivor. These round, flat, crisp biscuits or crackers, n rhich have found their Way Into the bakers' a hops and become quite popular, are made of e our uud water only, the dough not being al- c nwed to raise or ferment, In imitation of the t read oi the Israelite* upon that momentous a ay, when their hurried departure prevented e he usual process. r The food eaten by pious Hebrews during the fi ight days of tills festival differs from that y uken at any other time only In the nb- li ence of everything that undergoes fernienta- c ion. Hence, there Is no real deprivation, ex- I opt baker's bread. fJ Tit E 1IAGA0A HIIEL PF-SACir. It li aremarlcablo fact, and one that points o weighty coiioluslons, that very much of ho .Jewish religious ceremonial takes place f ,t or Is intimately associated with home. The . 'turnover is essentially a home festival, where he family is gathered together In unity aud . ovoto celebrate by time-honored customs he emancipation of tiielr race. Therefore, ? he first night of Passover is regarded as a j * nosi important occasion. The table is Met as I oIIowh The board Is covered with the , mrest white tablecloth. Three plates are flxid In trout of the master of the house or the j r ?ne who reads the services. In one Is put: hree i'assover cakes: In another the shank |_ Mine of a lamb and an egg, both roasted on ( he coals or boiled ; In the third some lettuce ,udcelery, also a cup of vinegar or salt aud ; vater ; likewise a compound formed of ap iles, almonds, tigs, raisins, spices and clnna-j . linns, made Into balls. The following Is the! xplanatlon of the ?bove:?The shank bone!, if the lamb Is in commemoration of the Pas-; :hal iamb, and the eg ; commemorates the of erlng brought with it, called the offering of j lie festival. The lettuce aud celery are to be I. lippeil In the vinegar or salt aud water and ,.

Stiisible Advice by a Lady?C Jrapli- ^ raent to the Press and Banner. tlEHOKEE HEIGHTS, ABBEVILLE CO., S. C. April 5th, 1878. Editors Prcts and Banner: The local new*, and late advertisement* of county paper, usually make the sum total o fits merits. But the marked Improvement r i your columns, during the last few months, i , a* become so apparent, tliat I have I our tied , ' > hail the visits of the Prcw and Banner'H Ith peculiar delight. And "mine hostess," rho Is regarded by every one, :is a lady ofjfc DOd taste, and a model housewife, lays a pos- ? ive embargo on every number, till she has ransferred to her scrap-book, all your valua-1" le receipt# for horticulture, cooking, Ac.|s he emphatically says: "They, alone are well 11 rorih the money paid for the paper." ;, While I readily admit the truth of her re-1 f larks, following a different pursuit, my at- 1 tntlon l? more attracted, by the deep lnU-rst you manifest In education. c I am happy to learn, through your columns, i hat the citizens of Ahbcvlllccounty havede- i Ided to have a "Teacher's Association." , I'hile I regret that I cannot, at present, he- 1 omc amember. 1 heartily concur In the plan, r . mutual exchange of sentiment und experl- c nee, will certainly prove beneficial to teach- c rs. Though I have been for several years en- * aged In'teaching the young Idea how to ! hoot,'still feeling my Inefficiency in the per- 1 jrmance of so great a task, I am ever ready j * n profit by any suggestion on the subject, nmlmr from ono more competent than mv- ; rdf. I hope It niny be deeply Impressed, ? ?ecially on the minds of inexperienced teachfs, that ours, though an humble calling, is f ne of vital importance to the rising genera- r Ion. It has been remarked, and 1 tlilnlc Just- ( y, that none but the parent, win have bo j uich to do In shaplngthe destiny of a na- t ion. 1 Then, my Teacher friends, since so much Is 1 levolvlng upon us. let us use every available neans for self Improvement. And not contfnt, to prlve "line upon line and precept upon | recept," strive to set "an example of good I'orks." J once became, for a few moments, an In'Islblc spectator of my pupils while they layed school. One of their number having .ss'.tmed my name, acted as teacher. The cene which was natural and childlike, has oubtless passed from every memory but my wni There It Is Indelibly llxed. Yes. "I till remember my blush of shame while I eheld the menacing gesticulations, und icard the angry tones of my second self. 'h>m that moment, my motto has been, Fifst govern self, and then, govern others." ?oOne, while yielding to the degrading pasion ot anger, can hope to win the respect of its pupils. lie docs not deserve it. Sooner roll Id I permit my right arm to be severed rotn'my body, than, In anger, raise ltagalnst ny mother, and yet, I do not know, that I hould be less culpable In punishing a deenseless child, under the same clrcumstancs. Of course, the strictest discipline should ie maintained in every school, but let It be one In gentleness anfl love. Nof, iwchlldren ellcve, for the teaciier's pleasure. But, abolutcly, for the good of the little offender. V'hen a child is once convinced of this fact, a :>olc of displeasure, orasmlle of approbation, rill almost Invariably, secure perfect obedlncc. This has becrn my experience In the management of hundreds of children, and, avlnc received repeated expressions o(*per?ct satisfaction from tho most Intelligent parons and trustees, I hope 1 have not been aiogether unsuccessful. A FEMALE TEACHER. Vhich is the Best Sawing Machine T < Cditori I*rcM and Banner : , As there aro numerous Inquiries made to * nc concerning sewing machines as to thejjest 1 nd cheapest, pud us my friends anil customrs are very anxious ;o get me to give my ; undid opinion without, prejudice, and as ( here arc various machines advertised for sale I thin time and numbers 01'them have prov- ' n to be humbugs, I think It nothing but ight to give my opinion to my Inquiring : rlends through the props. I have had several ears' experience In repairing machines, and lave made It a point to Inspect every nmhlne carefully. I also have used la my famly the .singer and Wheeler & Wilson. The linger I was always partial to until the Inroductlon of the white, but I am freo to hc- ; ;nowrledge that many of thesewlng machines n the market have their particular good mints, and after a careful examination of all must conscientiously say that the White Is uprrior to all. viz: 1st. It is the lightest runulngshuttlesewlng nnchlne. 2nd. It has more capacity and power than my other family sewing mnehine. 3rd. It is equal to any manufacturing marine and can be used ua such for tin; heaviest vork. -1th. It is the simplest and best constructed nnchlne that I ever saw. 5th. Its working parts are so arranged that in V wear can be taken up simply by the turn >f a screw. Oth. It has a feed on both sides of needle. 7th. Its shuttle Is comparatively self-threadng and carries h larger bobbin than any other amlly sewing machine. tfUi. Its works are so arranged that neither: lie garment, being sewed nor the operator | vil become oiled. 01 It. It has a device by which bobbins can J ic Illicit without running the entire inaclflne. hereby relieving It from wear for this pur-! >ose, as also relieving the operator of the ne-1 easily of removing the work or attachment, j 10th. It has the largest treadle, which Is 1 ilso relieving the operator from being cramp-; :d or worried. Uth. It has the largest driving wheel, which rives a rapid motion with a slow motion oil lie foot. Any little girl 10 or 11 years old can ipenite the machine (lie entire day, running t to several hundred stitches every minute, t vilhout being worried. The above advantages, and others too nuni- j 'rous to mention, will convince any one who ; 111s worked or oyncd a sewing machine ilia: 1 he White Is the best, and cheapest. The | iVhite can be so adjusted as to sew No. S or narser to three huiidtcd fine thread. Any larmenis from the heaviest to the llnest lab-1 les can be sewed witti the same ease. JQIIN I..
