The Press and Banner. Twelve IPages. | BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. 8ST Published every Wednesday at $13 a year in advance. Wednesday, Dec. 25, 1895. ONLY CHRISTIANS. Xo Denoiiiiiintiou* in Heaven. John Wesley is said once in u dream / to have found himself at the gate of the place of woe, through which multitudes were passing, and he asked the porter whb they were. Were there Catholics going in there? Plenty of of them. Were there Presbyterians? Pleuty of them. Were there Baptists? Plenty of them. Were there Wesleyans? Plenty of them. Then, in his dream, he was suddenly at the gate of Heaveu, wlieu he asked the porter earnestly : Are there many Wesleyans inside? Not one. What! are there many Baptists? Not oue. Who, then, Presbyterians? Not one. Then who are inside? Only Christians. A FRIGHTENED COW. When the Milk of A Cowi-May Become PoisonotiN. No man who owns a cow can afford to have her afraid of him. It is a loss to the owner every time she is frightened. . To run a cow to pasture is throwing money away. The cow is a milk-making machine, and should be kept in the best working condition, and this condition, is oue of quiet. A cow omr runTr wnrriBil will not do her best. Mate pets of the cows and they will make money for the owner. The milk of a frightened or abused cow is . poisonous. A Difference of Prayer. There is a life in man which the senses cannot comprehend, no physical science measure itd 'height and its depth. Before all things it is personal, conscious secret, turned toward the invisible, at home in eternity. Its very essence is communion, with the Supreme; and it prays because it loves. I do not envy the mortal woo nas uevei kuuhu uf influence. And I am oertain that so long as physics and metaphysics take realities into their consideration, and are willing to be guided by the testimony of the spirit to its own experiences, the life of devout prayer will be acknowledged as the only one which secures what is best worth having. Unless the Eternal can speak to us and we to Him, all saints, poets, religious-minded have been victims of delusion. But the spiritual life is too deeply rooted, and its effects are too momentous and beneficient for delusion to be the true account of it. Moral rectitude is theessence of civilization ; and prayer is the norrnal method upon which that rectitude has been stayed up since man came to know that'he had a conscience. Herein is the surest benefit and its most abundant reward. How can a science dealing with mere Ehenomeon, or a criticism th&t begins y overlooking the facts that it lias to explain, satisfy the reason? By what arguments will it win the heart ? This however, is tne wnoie man, u> whose inward sense at last every system must appeal. How to Care Meat. Dr. Irby, of Laurens, cures the finest hams we ever tasted, and they have a State-wide reputation. They are cured after the old ante-bellum Virginia fashion. Th^ Doctor says to save meat you must use coarse Liverpool salt, for the American salt won't answer if the weather turns warm. Dr. Irby trims his bams and joints close, when they are thoroughly salted. About March he covers each ham with a thin coating ' of molasses, and then sprinkles black pepper over them. When smoked, the molasses and pepper seem to euter the meat and impart a delicious flavor. Besides, they exclude ail insects. Do not cover the skin, but only the portions of the ham that have been cut. If you try this recipe, and use coarse Lverpool salt you will never lose your meat, unless the weather turns of!' warm and rainy after killing. Lemon Pudding* Beat six eggs well, boil half a pint of milk, put into it two ounces of fresh butter, and let the milk cool. When perfectly cold, and the eggs and two tablespoonfuls of pulverized white sugar, also the juice of(one lemon. Line a dish with puff paste, and pour in the mixture. Bake one-half hour in a ^ quick oven. X. t g Fruit Pnddiug. Take stale bread, pour over hot wa ter, and soak awhile. Chop as for dressing, though not so fine, place a layer of bread in a buttered tin, then a layer of fruit previously stewed, having the last layer bread. Bake half an hour, and serve with sugar and cream or any pudding sauce. Apricots can be used if desired. Pop-Corn Pudding. Pop some corn nicely, then roll it as fine as you can. One pint of the corn to onequartof sweet milk; add a small piece of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, oeat two eggs with enough sugar to sweeten the milk ; mix all together. Bake twenty minetes. A cement for broken china and glass which an English paper gives may be worth trying. Dissolve half an ounce of gum acacia in a wineglass of boiling water, add plaster of paris sufficient to form a thick paste, and apply with a brush. Danger comes from unenlighteninent. Some of the greatest crimes of history, such as the Inquistion, were due to the prickings of conscience quickened but not enlightened. Commmi-seuse religion is not a spasmodic affair; it is a steady, prayerful, and cheerful observance of God's commands. It teaches that character is an achievement, not a gift. "What are the things that touch us most as we look back through the years?" asked a lady lecturer, impressively. There was a moment's awful pause, and then a small boy in the audience answered, "Our clothes." Study to keep your eyesof faith fixed upon Christ, a sense of his love in your heart, and a hope of glory in your soul, and you will be but little concerned abJut'death. DON'T BANDAGE SORE EYES, Ahomlon Foollsli n Practice, ft ml Save Your Sislil. j The custom, prevalent araous; physicians,'as well as the laity, of tigbtlj bandaging or tying up the eye as sooi as it becomes inflamed or sore, is a bad one. The effect upon the eye is bail It precludes the free access and henefi cial effects of the cool ajr, and at th< same time prevents or greatly retards free egress of the hot tears and morbii secretions of the inflamed conjunctiv< or cornea, or both. In those cases too, where a foreign substance has go into the eye, the bandage (which is us ually clapped on first thing) presses tin lids more closely against the ball am thus increases the pain and discomfor by augmenting the lacerations -causei Dy tne loreign ooay. i ms wiuhui to be harmful. In those cases when the light is painful adjust over the or gau a neatly litted shade, which, whili it excludes the light, allows tiie frei access of air. KtiifffCstioiis to Children. Reverence your parents. Alwayi address them in respectful language .Slang terms that would bring them in to disrespect with others are offensive "The governor," the old xnan," "th< boss," are terms of disrespect. Youi heart may not be so course towart them, and think such expressions onlj add spirit to your conversation, bui you are working evil to yourself Honoring your parents secures God'! favor. Appreciate your parents. You wil never understand how much thej have done for you till it is too late fo you duly to show your appreciation You will never fiud any othe: friends who will care for you and clinj toyouiuevil fortuneas your parents They may not have worldly renown but they deserve your homage. You best blood you receive from them. Do not shorten childhood by haste Mnt.iiritv will come only too soon Childhood is your probation for life Extend it, and make the most of it. Confide in your parents. Your inos sacred and your most dangerous seerefc are safer with your parents thai anywhere else. Never conceal anj habit or course of action from them [f you cannot trust it with your moth er it has no right in your bosom. I you would blush to tell her you shoul< blush to know it. Never read a book you would no show your parents. Im nature years visit and writehom< frequently. Soon it will be impossible A Few Kales in RtiMlneNB. When a man pays you money b( sure to count it in his presence; other wise a mistake may cause trouble confusion, and hard feeling. Whei you pay a man money require hin to count it before he leaves you, am then there can be nodauger of mistak es and no room for dishonesty. Whei a man seems unwilling to furnish j receipt for money paid, you will hi wise to require it of him, and put i carefully away. If you want to re main on friendly terms with you; friend, don't loan him money withou requiring the security you would asl from a stranger. When a mar " a. _ x borrows money 01 you 10 j>ay ui another, who is pressing him, yoi will probably never get it back. Whet you become security on a note, bond or other paper, you need to see tha it is settled when due, or it may turr up at an unexpected aud inconvenieni [season for you to pay it. Live withir your income, and then you will noi have occasion to borrow, or go ir debt. Pay as you go, and you wil not be dunned with bills, nor threaten ed with suits. Nad Fate or Cameln in War. One of the horrors of war consists in the cruel sufferings inflicted or horses, camels, and other animals The recent Chitral expedition in India has resulted in great mortality amongst the overburdened camels. Ol these animals an Indianjjofflcer writes "There is frequently no time for grazing on the march. Of course there can be no halting; full o rstarving, thf unhappy beasts, strung nose to tail ir one long line, must struggle on till the camping ground is reached, ofter too late for their drivers, after removing their burdens, to take them oul to feed. I have seen huudreds of cam els sink! down when relieved of theii loads, whicli they had borne foi nine or ten hours at a stretch, and di< " - - J a; ? r . 11 A ^ or nunger anu iaugue, ur mn ucjw. on the march, leaving their burdens tc be piled on the backs of their already overweighed companions." During | the second Afghan War the Benga army alone lost 50,000 camels, besides f large number belonging to the Govern meut. The mortality among mulei and horses has to be added to this. There are some flowers that giv( their sweetest perfumes after sunset when the night dews are falling. Th< true religious life is like these. A heart really based upon God and a< rest in Him never breathes forth such fragrant and strong, perfume! as in the darkness of sorrow. The ability to recognize sin, and th( ability to fear it and shun it, when recognized, are the two great boons thu Christian religion gives us, if we trulj and heartily embrace it. Mr. Rnann?"Is the erentleman it the next room a somnambulist?" Landlady?"Gracious goodness, no for generations back they've all been Baptists." VALUABLE woe if!

After mature sideration, Taine joined the LutherChurch, had bis daughters brought J in its precepts, and, probably more - their sakes than his own, lived, ?d, and was buried in its communj. in a conversation just before the Itial step, Taine said that he felt very enly that a philosophy which would plain the universe even more com;tely thau his own would not corre- f >nd, on that account, to the actual pds of social life.
