&finpcr;iiuf (Tolain.1. I Cosuicrsu uv iiik W. C. T. U. . _ i A SHORT SERMON ON TOBACCO. BY AN KX CHEW UK. And now is the kingdom ot Satan likened to a graift of tobacco seed; wlii h, though exceedingly small in itself, being cast into the ground, grew and became a great pluut :>nd spread its leaves rank and broad. And it come to pass, in the course of time, that the sous of men looked upon it and some of them thought it beautiful to look upon, and much to be desired to make lads look big and manly, so they put forth their bands and did gather and chew thereof; and some it made sick and others to expectorate most filthily. And it further came to pass that those who chewed it became weak and filthy and utmianlv. and f.imnl ilmu <m. J I ? " "v,v vu slaved, and could nut cease froui chewing it. And the mouths of all that were enslaved became uuclcan aud the)' were seized with a violent spitting, and they did eject eveu iu the house of the Lord of Hosts, and the saints of the Most High were great y diss turbed thereby. And in the course of tune it cauio to pass that the old ladies snuffed it, and they were taken suldmly with fi s, in conscqucuce thereof, aud they did succzc and sneeze, iusomch that their eyes were filled with tears and they did look exceedingly fuuuy. Aud yet others foolishlywrought the leaves thereof into rolls, aud did set lire to ouc end thereof, and did try to look very grave aud simple while the suioke of their torment asccuded forever and ever. And the cultivation thereof became a great aud mighty business iu the earth Merchantmen waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass that some of tho saints oi the Most lligh defiled themselves with it, till even the poor, that could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for their little ones spent their money for it. Aud the Lord was greatly displeased therewith, and said, "Whereof this, waste aud why do your little ones lack bread aud shoes aud books aud good religious p ipers ? Turn uow your fields into corn and wheat, aud put the evil thing from you, aud bo separate, and dcfi'c not yourselves any more, and I will bless you and cause uiy face to shine upon you." But with ouc accord they all exclaimed." "We canuot Cease from chewincr. snuffiug, smoking and puffing, for wo arc slaves." Aud the Lord was sorely displeased with Ilis people on accouut of this thing* ])r. Jurie, a prominent physician of Vicuna tells of two complete cures of dipsouiania effected by him in an extraordinary manner. One of the eases was that ^f an habitual drunkard, who was picked out of the gutter by the police, and was handed orcr to the doctor's treatment in the ' Correction Hospital," for a period of fourteen days. The doctor at once ordered that every article of food or drink given him should rcceivo a liberal addition of whiskey of a uot over refined quality. Water, milk, soup, meat and vegetables were all treitcd in this way, and whiskey was eveu infused iiito the air that lie breathed through saturation of the walls, floors and bedding. At first the man proclaimed himself highly satisfied with his treatment; and said he would always like to have such a sensible physician. Tiic second day, however, he began to feel nausea, the tiiird day he vomited immediately after eating, and thereafter uot a meal was taken that was not followed by vomiting. From day to day lie experienced increasing torment, and finally begged piteously for relief. The result was that at the end of two weeks, thouch iniifth rm1nf? -rt I j 0 -v>.v.vvxin flesh, he was filled with such repugnance for strong drink, that he was never nftcrward able to indulge in itagaiu. The other case mentioned by Dr. Jurie was of a iimilar chrracter, and was treated by hiin in the saute way, and with equal success. Some of our best citizen-: petitioned ciuncil, lately, to close these friendly barrooms on Sunday. Th 3 response is favorable. Tho mayor "States that ho would endeavor to see the law rigidly enforced, and believed that the Chief of Police would use cqua' diligence, but he regarded tho enforcement of the law exceedingly difficult." Very likely, your honor, but it is not impossible Thirty-four applicants were licensed at the same meeting ; and it was mentioned as a matter of commendation, "that they had oach paid the 100 00 tax to the State.'' How profitable the business, paying so heavily to the ciy an 1 State ? Hut, ]>cr conha, few look to the demoraliaition an l crime and cost thereof to tho entire country. Those friendly to grauting lieenso for liquor selling arc wary tnen, don't like to hurt trade, whatever elso may sull'er. ,Tlie diy hastoneth when they will b) loss chary in their action. The mad dog is killed at once, and tho infuriated bull impounded ; men's wives and children are not to bo left to their uieicy, but hands < ff the rumscller's privilege to demoralize ??i?d damn. It will not bo always so, however, for the advantages are so clear whoro prohibition rules as to cry trumpet tongue 1 to heaven for their, taking olf. The human body is seven eights water, Tlie blood is mostly water. All the tissues own their softness to it, ami even the bones have a share of this fluid, no organ of the liody could p.-rfbrm its duty, nor could life be sustained without it. Alcohol burns tip the water, diseases and destroys tho body. Tuauedy Fuom Good Foatunk.? A pec ijia-ly iuJ and shocking domestic trag eJy is reported from tho town of IJ.ityn, in llungiry. Tho keeper ofa crossing ot? tho East Hungarian Railway near thit town happened to win a few days ago souio hun dreds of florins in u lottery. Tho poor fellow, who had never seen such a large suui of money in his life, took tho bank notes houio and amused hiuisslf iu turning tuom over, forming plan upon plan for their disposal. All at once a train was signalled, and he rushed to his post, leaving the precious roll behind him. As ill luck would have it, his little daughter was playing in the room at the time. Struck by the peculiar appearance of the notes, having rarely if ovci seen ouo before, and not knowing anything whatever of their value, she proceeded to use them as a plaything aud prcs cutly flung tluui into the lire, where thev were burucd to ashes. Just then the father returned, missed the notes and learned what had become of them, lu his fury ho struck the child a violent blow which slrc*chcd her lifeless on tho floor. The mother,'who, was giving a bath in the adj lining room to Iter second child, an iufant, rushed in on hearing the disturbance, picked up the little girl and tried to restore her to consciousness. Iler "^efforts were vain ; the child was d;ad. She flew to tho bath in which she had left the iufant. Another shock awaited her?the child was drowned in its bath. The childless mother, distracted and desperate, rushed out of the house and hanged herself ou the branch of a tree. The wretched father, overwhelmed with misfortune?his fortune gone, his wife and childreu gone?seized a revolver and pnt an end to his exisfeuce. Tho artistic completeness of this tragedy gives it a certain air of unreality, but the Hungarian journals vouch for the exact truth of these details. A New Industry.?There was an ex portation of orange-peel, recently, 200 sacks having been shipped to Havre, Franee. The t.nl..? ?i..? ?: . ??? t .Uiuu UI n?u vuunigllUICIIli wasQi.uuu. inquiry among the members of the drug trade failed to show that any other exportation of orange peel had been made from this port. It is the first instance of the kind, and is more singular because the orange peel consumed in this country is imported, and in large part is from Southern France. Orangepeel is worth about eight cents a p >und.? Oranges are so plentiful in France, Spain, airl Italy, was well as in Florida aud in the West Indies, that the peel is stripped from the fruit in large quantities and sold for use in bitters and marmalade, and the juice is used to make acids. A dealer in this city showed our reporter samples of the two kinds of peels most generdly U3cd. Ouo was sweet and agreeable to the taste, but the other was very bitter and generally used iu the manufacture of bitters. It is estimated that about 200,OUO pounds of orangepeel was imported i.ito New York last year. The value of the importations in 1877 amounted to ?5,027.81, and in 1SS1 to 812,088.00. There is no duty on the article. Florida oranges are used for chemical pur" poses, but the foregiu fruit is preferred.?N. liccord. Northern Machinery Co.minu South. ?The Manufacturer's Record records the fact that durimr the months of.fanu-irv mi l ? J ? February of 1883, 111 car loads of No.'lheru machinery passed through llianoke, Va , going South. This, it remarks, is only what has been done on one railroad, and that, too, during the two dullest 111 tilths in the year. In this connection and the development of the South, the Nashville Manner says, we have only seen the dawn of progress and development that is to he, yet already has its brilliuucy dazzled and blinded the eyes of monopolized capital at the North Manufacturers at the South, cveu in their iufaucy, are successfully competing with those long established in the East. When they have grown to full manhood and our resources arc under full progress of development ; wheu wc turu our wood and iron into wagons and irou iuto wagons and plows, etc , at lioujo, and cease shipping them abroad to bo broghtback, what then can limit our wealth and prosperity. Tub Indian Trouiii.es.?Washington, March 21).?Indian Commissioner Price to day received from Agent Wilcox at San Carlos Agency, Arizona, the following : 'Continued quiet exists among the reservation Indians. I am keeping a vigilant watch on them. No signs of quitting work for any purpose." Yesterday's report of nine citizens killed by Indiaus froui old Mexico near Upper Gila, on the lino between New Mexico and Arizona is confirmed to-day. LoitDSHEKIlY, N M., March 29.?Col Neves and two companies of the Fourth Cavalry from Fort Graig arrived here yesterday en route to Gila Valley. The latest intelligence from Clifton is that the Imlinnc are concentrated in force in the hills around that place, and an attack upon the town may be expected at any moment* #' The Bishop of Oxford sent to the church wardens in his diocese a circular of inquiries, among which was : ''Does your official ing clergyman preach the gospel, and is his conversation and carriage consistent therewith The church warden of Wallingford replied : "lie preaches the gospol, but does uot keep a carriage." \ Had Vay Marks Had Work.?It is a ' groat mistake to underpay employes. T! o most successful busiuoss men are those who I give their servants fair salaries. Wo consider ourselves that it pays to be liberal; that it is our best interest even to bo occasionally generous. At any rate, at all times the laborer is worthy of his hire. No* only will ho reuder better sorviee, as a riwe, if well rewarded, but he will have lc6s*teuip tatiou to defraud you. Tberc arc few things that so effectually incite to bad work, and misappropriation of a master's material and money, as the belief on the part of an cm ploye that he is not being adequately compensated for his labor. Employers should guard ugaiust such temptations. There is hardly any man, no matter how strong his principles may be, who can resist its intlu cncc. ? The Columbia Ilrgister says: France trembles before her Anarchists ; the Vrussiau cu'pltcis practically annihilated by her iMiuhols; the spirit of Gorman liberalism smoulders buueuth a military dyuasty ; Aus> tria, Spain aud Italy feel the volcano beneath their feet. Look the world over and the Easter of 1883 dawns upon a distracted civilization and a mysterious movement tending to events such as have uot bccu seen siuce the day ' the vail of the temple was rent in twaiu, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose." A great resurrection awaits somewhere and in some way men wot uot of, yet the whole would secuis in travail with it. After t'uo war, says a correspondent, when the numder of our servants was much reduced, two negro girls, aged 18 aud 20, went to the nearest village to "hire out." The lady to whom they applied asked if they could cook. No'om, we aiu't uebbor biu cook none." 'Can you wash ?" "No'oui we ain't bin wash none either; Aunt Sally, she wash." "Can you clean the house, then?" "No'oui. we aiu't ueber bin clean noue." And so I went through the whole list of qualifications, receiving always the same negative answer. "Well, what in heaven's ? 1 uautc," said I at last, "have you beca accustomed to do ?" Lucindu's dusky lace brightened. "Sukey, here, she hunt for masas's specs, and I keep flies off olo miss! + ? Now, bo careful at the next crossing, mud predominates, but, ha ! vender's a light streaming across the pave; 'tis from a friendly barroom. The devil wakes il saiuts sleep,you see. On the principle of "the early y bird," 'tis open, but in this case the worm is the catcher, not the caught ; so tnauy thousands aro enfolded by this worm of the still. The light is cheery and the invitation geuial. however. "Will you come into my parlor ? Said the spider to the fly." Beware, though beyond the hour that "church yards yawn," there's spirits within, beware ! A Scotch minister, forgetting his spectacles, could tint read the hymn, so he said : My eyes arc dim ; I cannot see." The precentor immediately sang "My eyes are . i ? " "" , > V...1UUUI si-ij. i uii minister explained: "I spoke of uiy infirmity." This was sung as the second line. The minister pleaded : "I did not mean to sing a hymn.' These words were sung and he sat down, saying , "I merely said my eyes were dim.' When this line was sung the services closed. A Sl'anki no Team.?Johnny and Tommy were playing out in a street where there was much fast driving, and where they had been forbidden to go. "Ilello!" said Johnny 'there conies a spanking team." "Where?" replied Tommy. ' Right across the street there ; it's your mother and urine, and we'd better cut and get out of this," which they did, aud their mothers cut after them. ' Which is the deepest, the lougost, the broadest ami the smallest grave iu the churchyard ?" said a pedestrian to his companion, while meditating auroug the tombs in a cemetery. 'Why," was the answer, "it 4| t ?_ I t - * is mat in wuicn .nues lsulton is buried, fur it is Miles below the sod, Miles iu length) Miles in breadth, and yet after all is but a Buttonhole.

The Abbeville Presa and Painter says : Heretofore the trouble with our farmers has been that they have raised six weeks' corn. For instance, they have generally eaten in six weeks all the corn that they had raised in a year. Six weeks' corn will ruin any farmer that plants it. Fact.
