The most imperative duty that rests upon parents is the intellectual and spiritual training of their own chilI dreu. The idea that anything el9e can be so important as to take precedence of this duty, is a delusion and a snare. We would that it were in our power to I sp?-akirumpettonguedtotheconsciences ' | of all our readers, and especially to those h1 of them whose children are still young I enough to be fully amenable to the inVtluences of sound religious teaching J and of godly example. It is greatly to be feared that there is an increasing tendency, even among reputable Christians, to turn over their children en63 tirely to the Sunday school, the EpUJJ worth League, and tlie Church. These are all good organizations, but none of 00 them is as divine as the family. By -- every token children are primarily 71 committed, for the care of their souls 15 as well as of their bodies, to their own IMI fathers and mother.-. j jr, (Wesleyan Advocate.l :5 The best way to destroy hatred or ? discord is by spreading the contagion " of love. A gentlemen quoted, the other ? day, this sentiment: "We all ought to have in our hearts a cemetery where 00 we should bury the faults of our fellow 110 men." If this were the case there 40 would soon be comparatively few faults on to bury. TUe stock would die out. 157 But suppose we have in our hearts also {{[J a gardeu for the cultivating of the ? virtues of our fellow men. The gar" dens would soon be blooming and llourishiujr, and so blending with each other as that we would not know in "e* whose garden we lived. Spread the jy contagion of love, and cultivate the gardens of virtue. But don't foriret the cemetery foryour neighbor's faults. tb (s 8. Times.) mere is no ineni in seeiug me suulight at noonday. We cannot doubt the existence of light when it blazes in our eyes. But when the gloom and ? chill "of night are about us, it requires 1 faith to believe that there is just as f| i much light in the universe as ever, ami li.that God will bring us again into its cheer. If we have faith, we shall have , hope. We can walk in the light in the i~ darkest hour, while seeing Hun who is invisible. This is the cheer of faith and hope when sorrow is in our heart , and tears in our eyes : Of ' 'He dnetk all lliinits well | * We say It now with tear.*; lle But we shall sine it with those we love "1" i Thri>ui.'h l.tisht eternal years." Personal loveliness is hot loveliness of person, and yet a person who is love* <jR* ly in spirit will be sure to give evibe,dence of that loveliness in and through i the outer person. Not merely in expression of countenance, but in tones ' of voice, and in gentleness of manner, _ and in gracefulness and dignity ol bearing and movement, a lovely spirit will muuifest itself as lovely. True beauty is lirst of the nature, aud then of the appearance. In order to show one's self to advantage, one must live on advantage. Obedience to God's law is the only i true road to success. a You can bury the evil past only in the noble present. The home should be the brightest lie and happiest place 011 earth. 11-1 lie 1 When a man has truly tasted of I God's grace he hungers for more. Troy's Tea Cnp?t. Troy. S. C..

K. E. HILL, April 10, 1893, Judge of Probate. I (Zlons's Herald.) Does education repress crime? Certaiuly uot iu France. Victor Hugo contended that a school door opened was a jail closed ; but the statistics ot criminality iu that country do uot bear out his statemeut. Prisons, especially ^ for juvenile offenders, seem to be multiplied there with the diffusion of knowledge In this country, with all our educational facilities, crime is uot wanting; it is undoubtedly increasing. Iu Euglaud, however, the statistics are more hopeful. There are 5,000,000 children in English schools, or more ; than three times as many as there were in 1870, aud yet the number confined iu English prisons lias fallen in the last twenty-four years from 12,000 to 5,000; 1 juvenile offenders now number .5,000 us against 14,000 then. There are other factors to be taken into consideration besides education, of course, in these j statistics, but it is undoubtedly true that a purely intellectual education is no effective safeguard agaiust criminal tendencies, and that the latter will not be checked until we engraft moral teaching and eouscieuce-training upon our systems of instruction.

The Serpent's Venom.?A physician . 1 while talking with a group of friends, . v |remarked: "It is common to hear ; people speak about poisonous serpents. [Serpents are never poisonous; they i are veaomous. A poison cannot be i taken internally without bad effects; a tenom can. Venoms, to be affeotive, ; have to be injected directly into the ' circulation, and this is the manner in | wbicb the snakes kill. The venom, ! taken internally, is innocuous." The use of wheat for stock food complicates the difficulty of determin- ,-a ing the consumption of this grain. It is calculated that in the West forty I per cent, oftheho^s are being sup- " plied this grain and tbat it is being also fed in large quantities to all other classes of stock. Tbe practice is spreading in the East in many sections, cn that it irnillH annaar tha? #??? WX' V ? WUMb U1C KMUI" ers have themselves solved the que*tion what to do with their surplus wheat. There is do doubt of the value of the potato for feeding to sheep, but as ^ this animal has but a weak digestion, it would be advisable to cook the potatoes for them, and add bran to the food. The staroh of the potato is very indigestible when raw, and, as, by cooking, the cells in which the starcn is contained are broken, and the starch granules are swollen and burst by the expansion caused by the heat, the food thus prepared is fully and ;j easily digested. To keep your fruit jellies from molding put an even half inch of sugar over the top after the jelley has cooled, and then cover the glass with thick paper that has been coated with white of an egg. mwwm 6??
