Beautiful .Store.
The now store of Messrs. White Brothers on
"Wnlte's corner"' Isainost substantial ana
a most ornamental building on the Fublic
.Square at Abbeville. Standing on a bit; lot.
with no building adjoining, It is a most conspicuous
ami imposing structure of pleasing
architecture. The walls are of brick, and are
of double of thickness, with space between,
so as 10 prevent dampness. The front is entirely
of iron and glass the glass betng divided?tUo
top portion is of tine cathedlal or
stained glass?while the remaining or greater
part of the front is of the finest French plate.
The distance between the lower Uoor and the
ceiling of the upper tioor is fifteen feet. The
upper floor is laid on a truss and is as solid as
posBibk'. The upper story will be used for
storing grain ana other bulky goods. The
size of he store is 03 feet by .'13 feet. The interior
is most conveniently and artistically
arranged, with all that best adapts it to the
uses for which it is intended. Platform
scales, an elevator, and improved or moaern
plans for holding goods, make up part of tlie
furniture of the store, while the most elegant
show windows light and ornament the whole.
To realize the attractiveness of the store it
will be necessary to visit it.
Boys 011 the Turn Table.
It. may be none of our business, hot we protest
against the present habit of our boys
playiut; on the railroad turu-table. The table
is turned at a rapid rate for the fun of riding
on It, or otherwise utilizing It as a source ot
amusement. If the practice is not stopped
the Press and Banner may contain at any
time a notice to the effect that some body lias
fallen or made ft mistep and was badly hurt.
A little later on, the Press and Banner will
note that the father has sued the Railroad
company for damages, still later on, we will
bo printing briefs and arguments for the SupremeCourt.
In the meantime some, little
boy will be going abouton one foot?wounded
or crippled lor life.

An Old Idea Abont Meed Corn.
in the year 1816, says a writer in the German- J
own Telegraph, a man showed my father how j
o prepare seed corn to prevent crows from 0
Milling it up. This was the method: Take
ibout a hall pint of tar, dissolve it as quickly ?
is possible, put in about six quarts of corn, 0
ulr about one and a half minutes, then drain i,
>fl" the water. Stir In a little plaster of parls
>r some dry matter, which separates the ker
lels one from nnother, spread it till it cools.
One man said to me 011 one occasion: "The
:rows are pulling the corn." I went to the
leld. All I could And pulled were perhaps a
lozen or two hills. I tarred some corn for a
rlend and be plnnted the same next day. It V
?rae up well. He continued planting the I
hree following days, each day planting less. *
Arlien prepared it will come up at the end of
.welve months as the first day. One ad vanage
in tarring, if a cold, wet storm comes on
ifter planting, it will not rot. The greatest 1
advantage is that you can let the crows come 1
nto your field, and if you will keep out all 11
scare-crows they will destroy the cut worms, v
[f you will but watch you will see the crows
caving the field between daylight and sun- t
iso. Let the crows in where they have been
ihut out till the worms are quite plenty, and
n two years hardly enough will be found to
>ay the crows for coming.

The Influence of Tobacco-Smoke upon
Young Children.
Dr. Hiram Corson, of Cousho
en, Ph., widely known as one of the
oldest and most respected physicians
of that State, makes the following remark
upon au almost unrecognized
source of disease in young children in
the Medical and Surgical Reporter :
During my many years of practice,
there have been many occasions on
on which I found it necessary to warn
persons who used tobacco against using
it in the sick-room, especially in the
lying-in room. I have often known
poor men, after coming from work, and
also in the early morning, to fill the
room, where there was an infant only
a few days old, with tobacco-smoke;
and that some of these shildren sickt
i -u-.l r V il.. tf 1
eneu umi men n?m iue i-ucum ui m j
have 110 doubt. Three years ago, ]
was passing along Green Lane, a street
running from Roxbury to Maniyunk,
when I met a young man proudly carrying
a child of but a few months on
his shoulder, with the child's faee
close to his own head. He was smoking,
and, as he faced the wind, the ,
smoke was carried back into the child'sface.
It was Sunday, and himself and
wife had apparently just started to visit
friends in Manayunk?a very short
distance. After I had gotten away
from them I reproached myself for not
having accosted them and warned
them of the child's danger. It is quite
probable that, before they reached their
friends, the child was sick; then, if a
doctor was sent for, he was doubtless
told: "It was quite well when we
left home, and we can't tell whatever
has made it so sick." Being so very
sick, and malaria being so plentiful in
that region, me doctor couia reauny
9ee that it ought to have medicine?
some antiseptic or some germicide?
and then?well, we uiay fancy the
re9t.
I have often, when, called to young
children, believed that the cause of the
sickness was due to the fumes of tobacco;
removing them from the cause often
soon placed them in safety. And
yet that many suffered fioni that
cause, aud that it was not recognized
as such by me, I have no doubt.
Can it be possible that au infant
could be subjected to so potent a cause
of disease without being deeply affected
by it ? But it would be difficult for
the most vigilant physician, however
anxious to prove this a frequent cause
of sickness, to do so. Children, no
doubt, often become accustomed gradually
to the fumes of tobacco, and after
awhile they have little effect ou them.
But that it has a deleterious effect od
children of even one or more -years of
age is probably true.
With rich people, in cities, the
"smoking-room" saves children, infants
at least, from early poisoning by
tobacco-smoke. But that thous&uds o1
infants, in the homes of the poor in
the small crowded houses of the alleys
in cities, are sufferers from this cause
is quite probable. People with consumption
and other exhaustiug diseases
are sometimes greatly nauseated
by the odor of tobacco brought into the
sick-room by a physician much given
to the use of tobacco.' I have several
times heard them speak of its being
very offensive to them.
As "a word to the wise is sufficient,"
it seems to me quite proper to call the
attention of the profession to this cause
of disease, of suffering, and oft-times
of premature death.
Grant me more confidence in Thy
love, 0 Father, and enable me to realize
that with Thy blessing the work of
the feeblest and weakest of Thy children
may be fruitful unto God.
Be not slow in common and usua]
acts of devotion, and quick at singularities
; but having first done, what
thou art bound to proceed to the extraordinaries
of religion a? you see cause.
The world is not to be carried by apathy.
Souls are not to be saved by
good wishes. Christ is not to be enthroned
by cowards or deserters.
Heaven is not to be gained by walking
backward toward it.
A perfect faith would lift us abso.
lutely above fear. It is in the cracks,
crannies, and gulfy faults of ourbeljef,
the gaps that are not faith, that the
snow of apprehension settles, and the
j ice of unkiudness forms.
In the moment that I shall waver
strengthen me; restrain me when the
malignant thought arises ; and while
the yet unuttered words are ready to
issue from my lips, set Thou thy bridle
there, and govern my rebellious faculty.
The convicts in the State prisons and
prison reformatories of this country
amount to nearly one hundred thousand,
and iuvolve an annual cost of
[about fifteeu million dollars, which is
ouly a small part of the actual loss to
the people as the consequence of crime
I caused mostly by the use of strong
drink.
Faith makes the discord of the preslent
the harmonies of the future.
In these days of bloated and crushing
armaments, it is refreshing to find that
the old Quaker spirit is alive in some
parts of the Continent. The following
is from the Nienna correspondence of ,
The London Times :
The Nazarenes, twelve men and '
seven women,"who were arrested sev- ]
oral weeks ago for holding unauthorized
religious meetings, have been
brought before the Court of First Instance,
at Belgrade, Servia, and sen- 1
tenced to terms of imprisonment vary- :
ing between sixteen and three months.
The main count in the indictment
charged them with conspiracy to hinder
the execution of the law, that is, i
with inciting people to refuse military (
service. The prisoners are reported to ,
have behaved with great property in
the dock. They declared foarleesly, '
hut without arrogance, that their
Christian faith forbade them to bear
arms. Much sympathy is fell, for these
poor people, and especially for the
women,

form the line all up the stairs.
The Americans, used to these targets

miss their aim. I saw some really
striking feats of markumanship; but
perhaps the best of all at the Capitol,

. When you are presented to a gentle- ' t

if luck should be against you, call him
"Judge," aud you are pretty sure*6 be . jra
right. . I

The Diet of Strong Men.?The
Roman soldiers who built such won- .- 'i
derful roads, and carried a weight of
armor and luggage that would crush .
the average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They
were temperate in diet, and regular
aud constant in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances ~'l
half the night, yet eats only his black
bread, onion and watermelon. The .
Smyrna porter eats only a little fruit
and some olives, yet he walks off with J

Purity of heart is that quick arid "'rA
sensitive delicacy to which oven tha
very thought of sin is offensive.
Beware, lest silver bars up our way
to heaven; we must answer for our
riches, but they can not answer for us.
A wise man will desire no more than
what he may get justly, use soberly,
distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly.
The great difference between virtue [ t
und vice is this: For virtue you have
n price to receive ; for vice you have a
price to pay.
There have been iu all ages some
who worked for God and humanity^
separate and alone, aud they are to be
honored not for their independence
but for their work's sake. v
Purity, like the refreshing roae,
sheds a fragrance, peculiarly its own,
over our whole conversation ; aud Hke
that lovely flower, leaves its retiring
scent when we are gone.
