In one j case wo see a so-culled professor pahu I ing off a bogus invention for rettninj I sugar on a company of capitalists | practicing his delusion successfully fo [ years, and at death leaviug the secre | ' of his rascality with his wife, so tha j she is able to dupe his victims for sev 1 eral months longer. In another casi we have the financial correspondent o a great life insurance company enibez. zling over $500,000, and leaving fo Canada in time to escape arrest. Ii the same city the county clerk steal $55,000 of public funds, besides swin dling other creditors out of as mucl : more. About the same time a pro mi lient and trusted tobacco merchant dc frauds his neighbors out of an im mense sum and embarks for Liver pool before his dishonesty is discover ed. The business of fraud has been re duced to a fine art, and many in tlii: money-loving age have acquired mar r velous skill in the practice of it !

Ordkr of Worship.?It has conn i to pass that a Methodist preachei finds himself ignorant and embarrass K d in conducting the worship in souk Methodist Churches, because some body in authority has allowed some body in authority, or somebody out o authority, to change the order of wot ship to which the somebody in author ity was pledged to conform ami to keep unchanged. The law in tin Methodist Discipline directing the or der of worship in Methodist congrega tions is of universal and binding force among us. It maintains tlx simplicity and secures the uniformity of our worship. Neither coDgregatioi nor preacher have the right to chang< it.

The one involves toi that is unseen and drudgery that can not be appreciated by the ordinary reader; the other is a work that is ap parent to every eye. But, in our juug raent, it is careful editing that give: true success to any journal. We shal therefore devote more time to th faithful and careful editing of this pa t; < per than to the expression of ou own thoughts, in our own words, ii long editorials. Nashville Advocate. The light and frivolous way ir which many professed Christians speak of the sins of their youth and early life has always been a mystery t us. It argues a low tone of spiritual! ! ty. Not even the grace of God cai I wipe out the fact that we were onc< K>:v;r; transgressors; and the memory c this fact is the everlasting backgroum of our religious consciousness. T forget it, or to make light of it, is t show that we do not fully appreciat our place and standing in the king dom of God. ;. ip. X. C. Methodist.

If a warm stable is pr< vided, one wholly or partly under ground is best; this need not be th case.

Cklkry.?Probably no class of peopie suiter more with rheumatism tnau ! farmers, and yet the remedy for this dreadful disease is, or should be, right s at hand. If celery were eaten freely - sufferers from rheumatism would be comparatively few. It is a mistaken | idea that cold and damp produce the disease?they si*uply develop it. Acid 1 blood is the primary and sustaining cause. If celery is eaten largely, an alkaline blood is the result, and where this exists there can be neither rheumatism nor gout. It should be eaten 2 cooked. Cut it into bits and boil till r soft in as little water as possible. Add to this half as much milk as there is water in the celerv, thickened with ?

In a l'ttle while it disappeared, being dissolved in the . acid as sugar is in water, and so seemed utterly lost, and the question cauie up: "Could it ever be found again?" r One said it could, but another replied 1 that, being dissolved and held in solu tiou by the acid, there was no possibil? ity of recovering it. But the great chemist, standing by, put some chemi" cal mixture into the jar, and, in a littie while, every particle of the silver 3 was precipitated to the bottom, and he j took it out, now a shapeless muss, and sent it to a silversmith, and the cup e was soon restored to the same size and - shape as before. r If Faraday could so easily precipij tate that silver and restore its scattered and invisible particles into the cup they had before formed, how easily can God restore our sleeping and scattered dust, and change our decayed i bodies into the likeness of the glorious i body of Christ! 0 Early Printing.?In the infancy of the art of printing its results were comparatively very rude. The type 3 used was intended to imitate writing, u and partook of the character of gothie ,f and script. Ill punctuating, no , marks were at firft u>ed other than the period aud colon; an oblique <> stroke was afterward introduced, and 0 fulfilled the purpose of our comma. e Pages had neither running title nor number. Capital letters were not used to commence a sentence, nor in propel names. No rules seem to have regulated the orthography, and abbreviations were very numerous. The lirst it presses were fashioned after the model 1 of the common wine press. For a i short time the paper was printed on but one side, the blauk sides being pasted together. The only forms of i- books were the folio and quarto.?Lippincott. ? Take Care ok tiie Giijls.? r While I fully believe that every girl ^ should be taught to work, and at an early age be given some responsibility, 0 yet great care must be exercised that too heavy work is not given to the young and growing girl. Many mothers, without thought of doing wrong, A A.1 r 1- ; 1.1 XI- ^ I i put me care Hi young cuuuren on me J eldest daughter, although she is only " ten or twelve years old.

She says: "I have e no doubt it has robbed me of ten years of life, besides causing untold sufferv ing. Mother did not know it would hurt me and so the mischief was done." Young girls are often allowed to lift tt heavy tubs and boilers on wash-days, s buckets of milk and cream in the dairy, and move heavy pieces of furniture e at house-cleaning time.

A small boy, wearing a coat many sizes too large for him, walked proudly up the street. A whole coat of any description watt rare in his experience, and he was evidently delighted with this one. ".Seems to me your coat doesn't fit you very well, Billy'," said a criticul bystander. "That wasn't what 'twas made for," answered Billy with cheerful unconcern. "I'm expectin' I'll grow to fit it, 'stead of havili' it fit me." There was not a little wisdom in Billy's plan, and many other boys ami girls?and older people, also?would be far happier and more successful if ,1,1 Lnf nil/ittf ?f VAII will llltry WVMI1U Ulll uiiupu IV* 1UII UJM find many things in this world that do not exactly suit you ; they were not made expressly for that purpose, and the question is, what snail you do about it? There are persons, not a few, who seem to consider themselves the centre "of the universe around which everything ought to be fitted. All things are right or wrong, as they suit or do not suit their tastes, moods and wishes. Do you not meet such ones even in the school-room and on the play-ground?those who always find the lesson's too long, the rules unjust, the bright days too warm, r.nd the cloudy days too cold ? The I rouble is that they are trying to make everything fit themselves. By and l<y, when they go out into the world, there will be just this same trouble with their work that they now finii with games and studies. One situation will be too hard, another too conlining, a third will not pay enough. They will wander from one place to another, always complaining, never putting any heart into the work because it is not the kind that "suits" them, and so never achieving success. Do not beglu in that way. Make up your mind to take things as you find them, bravely and cheerily, and try to fit yourself to your surroundings, instead of waiting to be fitted. Is there some one in your home whose peculiarities fret you? Make room for those peculiarities; make a little path for yourself around them; there is no need of constantly running against them. If your work is not what you would have chosen, you can yet choose to do it so well that it will not onlv be lifted above mere drudgery, hut will prove your fitness for u higher place. For that, after all, is the wonderful thing about this "growing to fit"?as soon as you have really learned to fill one place, a wider and better one is almost certain to open to you. Those who go through life looking for the "streaks of luck," the cozy places, the surroundings that just suit, are for ever disappointed. There is a story of a brave youug girl, who pushed her way through so many obstacles that the principal of the school where she graduated declared her "fully entitled to the degree of M. C.?Mistress of Circuinstauces." If you would make your life happy, helpful, and successful?make it count for anything to yourself aud others?you must not join the ranks of those who are impatiently waiting to be fitted, but of those who patiently and courageously make themselves lit.?Interior. Why ant I not a Christian? Tsitnecause you are afraid of ridicule, aud of what others may say of you ? "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of iny words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed." Is It because of the Inconsistencies of professing Christians ? "Kvery one of us shall give an account of himself to CJod." Is it because you are not willing to give up all to Christ ? "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul ?'' Is it because j ou arc afraid that you will not i e accepted ? "Him that couielh tome I will in no wise cast out." Is it because you are too great a sinner ? "The blood of Jesus Christ cleauseth from all sin." Is it because you are afraid you will not hold out? "He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Is it because you are thinking that you will do as well as you can, and that (jlod ought to be satisfied with that? "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, aud yet oli'end in one point, is guilty of all." Is it because you are postponing the matter without any definite reason ? "Boast not thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."?Friendly Greetings. The Kind of Religion Needed. I do not want to be misunderstood. I am working for a revival of religion. A religion that converts people?renou'a flinm ill lh#> enirif. r\f Hwirtnitwlu creates them anew in Christ Jesus, delivers from the bondage of sin, inject new ideas, purer, better than the old, brings them cut of the world and seperates them into Christ. A religion that redeems a man from all sin, and sets him on holy living, on .selfdenial, on painstaking, circumspection and prayer, that imbues his spirit with love, seasons his conversation with grace, aud makes him a witness for the truth as it is in Jesus- an example a model, an Israelite without guile or hypocjisy or waving. J11 a word, let us, in ihe name of the Lord, have a revival of pure undefiled religion, a a sin-killing, sin-hating, sin-forsaking, debt-paying, God-serving, man-loving religion. A religion that makes the Church liberal, that lifts up the fallen drunkard, sets him upright on his feet, makes and keeps him sober, that crucifies the pride of life, the lust of the eye ; roots out the love of the world, and fills the soul with the love of the Father ; a consistent, steadfast,'! uncompromising religion, always abounding in the work of the Lord, Br Contknt.?lie content with such things as ye have.

You cannot repent too soon, because you do not know how soon it may be Loo late. If yon cannot get what you want, almnt the only way to be happy is to ?{Uit wanting it. Men who cover themselves with glov sometimes find that they are, after a , very thinly clad. Vhose are the best Christians who are more careful to reform themselves than to censure others. (jod is never dependent on even the st: ongest man ; but the strongest man is ..lways dependent on God. A beautiful woman pleases the eye; a good woman pleases the heart; the first is a jewel, the second a treasure. A clean heart will choose clean company and clean ways, and delight in ci:- n subjects and clei)U employments. Let us begin by admiring what God shows up and we shall have 110 lime left to hunt for what He hides from us. Good nature, like a bee, collects honey from every herb, "ill-uature, like a spi<lor, sucks poison from the sweetest flower. Occasions that do most for men of ability are occasions of special need, or of special trial, or of special bewilderment and perplexity. Let the preacher never forget that he who has power with God also has power with men. That is, successful preaching is measured by power with God. "Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds?ull they have had, all they have now, and all iliey ever expect to have."

Virtue will surely bo rewarded, but one who seeks virtue for the sake of reward can never find it, because the end at which he aims is not virtue but the reward. He makes virtue a secondary consideration, and no one cau obtain it who does not make it first. What comfort there is in the thought that, although God could not depend 011 us, we can always depend on nim, and that, although he could always get on without us, he is willing to make use of us when we are ready to stand in his strength, and that he does not despair of us even wheu we despair of hitn ! "The world has comparatively little use for exceptionally brilliant men; but there is plenty cf room at the top, and all the way down, for men of sound common-sense. Many a 'bright' man's blunders dim the radiance of his good things. No, the world is not hankering for more brilliant men ; but it is greatly in need everywhere of level-headed men who make few mistakes." A Christian is not his own, but Christ's. A Christian ought, therefore not to regard himself as au example so much as he ought to regard himself as the exemplifler of Christ. So plainly ought he to evidence the Christ-life that persons will think leys of saying, "That is Mr. A's way," than of simply printing to Mr. A and saying, "That is Christ's way." He is ihe best exemplar who best exemplifies him whom he has taken as his own example. ? ofc> ? Horses Need Strain no More.? People who use horses and are wout to strain them to the utmost, from apparent necessity, will be glad to learn that a simple and efficient device has been in use for sometime in France which relieves a horse from the severe strain that accompanies the starting of a heavy load. In cities, especially, such contrivances are needed, aiid most of all by the usually over-driven street-car horse. The device consists in a spiral spring of power in proportion to the average load carried, and and which is attached to the eud of , the trace. The horses at the Eastern Railway Depot in Paris, where the springs have been used for six years in shifting cars, show an improvement, since that time in general soundness and condition, while the number of sore and strained necks have greatly diminished. There lias also been a large saving in the way of broken harness. The same idea has been applied to plowing harness, and our farmers ought to aib'pt it for the relief of their teams. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should soe that the device above mentioned is snccdily introduced and applied in this country. To him who is not responsive, nothing exists. There is no red or green to the color-blind, no concord of sweet sounds to the untuned ear. Said a visitor to Millet's famous painting: "The Angi-lus looked just like the cliromo to me; I wished for an expert to point out its beauties and to show me the difference," It is true that artistic sight and poetic insight can be cultivated by study and practice. But it is also true that to him who has no 1 J* ?*a irSuiidl nffunf nnn pR'St'Ill IU1 It, 111# t IOUUI V.4VVV VM.. be "pointed out." There is a certain charity due to those Christians who rail to see ethical distinctions because of an untrainpd moral perceptive faculty. The blame is on them, not for their b'indness ami deafness, but for their supine unwillingueHS to sharpen moral sense. A dnrk and gloomy room may be . brightened by placing ebonl/ed shelves aver the doors and windows, grouping scarlet, yellow or gilded fans upon the walls, and placing pretty bric-a-brac tnd vases in positions where they will J lie brought into relief by the cheerful background. 1 V \ .. : x i v. v 4 An Ordinance To Raise Supplies for the Town o: Abbeville, S.O.,for the Year 1891, Be it ordained by the jnten DANT and Wardens of the Town o Abbeville, S.
