gttttffljouis Department. JUST CONSIDER ME SMITH f~ Dr. Caldwell, formerly for many years the beloved President of our University, was both mentally, morally and physically, much of a man. The Doctor, however, was quite small and lean, but had as much spirit, and was about as "tuff" as any pineknot ever burnt in old Terralbria. And the knowing ones knew him to be as agile as a cat, and in addition to all, he, in his youth had been no mean proficient in the ''manly science of boxing." In the Freshman class some forty years ago there had recently arrived at the University, from the Western Highlands a burly beef of a mountaineer of some eighteen summers, named Jones Burton. This genius conceived a huge contempt for "Old Bolus'" reputed skill in "ring physics," and his soul was horrified that one so deficient in muscle, should be so potential in sway. Bully Jones had no idea of moral force. At any rate, he was not inclined to knock under, and be controlled despotically, by a man he imagined he could easily tie and whip. At length he determined to give the old gentleman a genteel thrashing some night in the College Campus, pretending to mistake him for some other fellow. On a dark and rainy night, sure enough, Jones met the Doctor crossing the Campus. Walking up to him huriedly, said ; "Hello, Smith, you young rascal?is this you ?" And with that remark, struck the old gentleman a severe blow on the side of his face that came very near upsetting him. Old Bolus said nothing but squared himself in the dark, and at it they went. Jones' youth, weight and muscle made him an "ugly customer," but after a round or two, the Doctor's science in early life began to tell, and in a short time he had knocked down 1 tt onrl woo oofrfl^^lp nf hl.Q LUC IllUUlilAlU J-/ UilJ y UUU HMW MWU4MWM*V w. chest, with his right hand on his throat, and the left planting bloody blows upon his smeller. "Ah! oh! I beg pardon?Doctor?Doctor Caldwell?a mistake?for heaven's sakeDoctor!"?he muttered?"I really thought 'twas Smith!" The old Doctor replied, alternately, with a word aud a blow : "Never mind?for all?practical?purposes?just?consider?me?Smith." Old Bolus gave Jones such a pounding, then and there, that he was never known tc make, so long as he lived, another mistake ol personal identity.?Raleigh Sentinel. A Story for Young Ladies with a "Little Brother."?The moral to the following told by the sufferer, is too apparent to mention, Young ladies will hereafter run their brothers out when gentlemen call. I'm certain that I wished somebody would spank the young rascal. We talked of mountains, hills, vales and cataracts?I believe I said waterfalls, when the boy spoke up and said: "Why, sister's got a trunk full up stairs ; pa says they are made of hosshair." This revelation struck terror into me, and blushes into the cheeks of my fair companion. It began to be very apparent to me that I must be very guarded in what I said, lest the boy might slip in his remarks at uncalled for places; in fact I turned my conversation to him, and told him, be ought to go home with me and see what nice chickens we had in the country. Unluckily I mentioned a yoke of calves my brother owned. The word calves ruined all. The little one looked up and said: "Sister's got a dozen pair of them, but she don't wear 'em only when she goes up town on windy davs." "Leave the room, you unmannerly little wretch!" exclamed Emily; "leave immediately. "I know what you want me to leave the room for," replied he. "You can't fool me; you want to sit on that man's lap and kiss him, like you did Bill Sinmonsthe other day. You can't fool me, I jest tell you. Gem me some candy, like he did and I'll go. You think because you've got the Grecian bend that you're smart. Guess I know a thing or two. I'm mad at you, anyhow, because papa would have bought me a top yesterday, if it hadn't been for gettin' them curls, dog on yer! You needn't turn so red in the face, 'cause I can see the paint. There ain't no use winking with that glass eye of yourn, for I ain't goin' out o' here; now that's what's the matter with the pups. I don't care ifyou are twenty-eight years old, you ain't no boss o'mine." B?* A genuine bully called upon a "Friend" avowedly to thrash him. "Friend," remonstrated the Quaker," knocking aside his visitor's fist, "before thou proceedest to chastise me, wilt thou take some dinner?" The bully was a glutton, and at once consented, washing down the solids with libations of strong ale. He rose up again to fulfil his original errand. "Friend," said the Quaker, "wilt thou not first take some punch ?" And he supplied abundance of punch. The bully, now staggering, attempted to thrash his entertainer but quoth the Quaker : "Friend wilt thou not take a pipe ? This hospitable offer was accepted, and the bully, utterly weak, staggered across the room to chastise the Quaker. The latter, opening the door and pulling him toward it, thus addressed him. "Friend, thou earnest here not to be pacined; l gave tnee a meat onering; out tnat did not assuage thy rage. I gave thee a drink offering ; still thou went beside thyself. I gave thee a burnt offering; neither did that suffice. Now I will try thee with a heave offering."?And with that he tossed him out of doors. That sufficed him. Too Much for the Devil.?This is Ed. Hale's story: A man had sold himself to the devil, who was to possess him at a certain time unless he could propound a questson to his satanic majesty which he could not anwser, he being allowed to put three queries to him. The time came for the devil to claim his own, and he consequently appeared. The first question the man asked was concerning theology, to which it caused the devil no trouble to reply. The second he also answered without hesitation. The man's fate depended upon the third. What shall it be? He hesitated and turned pale, and the cold dew stood out on his forehead, while he shivered with anxiety, nervousness and terror, and the devil triumphantly sneered. At this juncture the the man's wife appeared in the room with a bonnet on her head. Alarmed at her husband's condition, she demanded to know the cause. When informed, she laughed and said, "I can propound a question which rlotril Viimcolf ppnnnf. nnsivpr Ask him which is the front of this bonnet?" The devil gave it up and retired in disgust, and the raau was free. gST An Irishman, who let himself to a farmer said while selling his services, that he could hold a plow and do all the other kinds of farm work. He was taken to the field, and told to hold the plow. The horses started, and he showed his incapacity to control the iustruraent. "Did you not tell me you could hold the plow ?" said the enraged farmer. "And sure I did," said Paddy ; "and I can hold it if you unhitch them two horses thai are trying to take it away from me." 1ST "Now, children," said a Sunday-school gentleman visitor, who had been talking tc the scholars about "good people, and bad people"?"now, children, when I am walking in the street, I speak to some persons I meet, and I dont speak to others; and what's the reason ?' He expected the reply wonld be, "Because some are good and others bad," but, to his discomfiture, the general shout was, "because some are rich and some are poor!" ASF* "Is it wrong for me to use rouge ?" asked a homely spinster of her clergyman, "What do you use it for?" "To?to?tc make me handsome." "Well, madam, I guess it will do no harm for you to use rouge, for you are homely enough even with it." j Reading Ut the JWath.! CONDUCTKD BY REV. ROBERT L.AXHAN. j ?? z i a [Original.] j v ALMOST A CHRISTIAN. [j There is every reason to believe that there ], ! are many persons who are halting, like the e children of Israel, between two opinions, d Many, like the Roman Governor, are almost f1 j persuaded to be Christians. Such a condi- y I tion of things presents an interesting specta- ^ j cle to all intelligent creatures. What can be f( I more interesting than to see an immortal being hesitating whether it will be for God or r; Satan. Such a state cannot last long. A s] decision must soon be made. ' Such is the na- P ....n r\f man ttiot lio r>annnt. lnnrr OCCUDV i . I tuib U1 "??* ....... o u Jj j neutral ground. He must be either positively p ! on God's side, or positively on the side of Sa- w tan. He must either go to heaven or perdi- d tion. There is no alternative. The principle J laid down by the Saviour is the correct one. 0 Whoever is not on the Lord's side is on the ^ | side of Satan. v fOriginnl.] }' STARTLING RESULT. s It often happens, in Christian countries, v that individuals who have enjoyed the privi- 8 leges of the gospel, utterly reject it. SomeJ times even those who have made a profession tj of religion and manifested piety, "go away y from Jesus." The history of such persons is a startling one. Their lives prove the truth- C fulness of the declaration of the apostle Paul. fj "The gospel," says he, "is a savor of life uuto . life, or of death unto death." The history of a the world proves that those persons who have p i once embraced the Christian religion, and af- b i terward reject it, generally become the most s abandoned of the human family. There is [ no need that we point to historical examples J to prove this position. Every observing man r can easily find an instance which will demon- n of f n trhnf vrrr* coxr 'PKo mail U'llH flpQPrh^ I*? , CtXUbV/ Tl IIUU nv? XUV muu w* ?>v w AI the standard of Jesus Christ, exposes himself s< to God's displeasure in a very peculiar man- b ner. God will most likely desert him, and v 1 the probability is that he will live a most igr nominious life. God will give him up to be preyed upon by his own vile lust and beastly appetite. The most degraded of the human n race are those who once professed to be on n ' the Lord's side. Instinctively, we turn away t! ' with loathing from the deserter.. Such a r , creature sacrifices all claims upon us for res- ? ! pect. Poor Judas betrayed the Saviour, but w i he ruined himself. Jew and Gentile, Israelite 1 and Roman, despised him in their souls. So " it is usually with those who desert the Lord c Jesus. As a rule, such persons come to some )' , bad end. Think of these things ye who are meditating to desert God. I [Original.] 11 RICHES AND INGRATITUDE. S( Man, in his lost and sinful state, is an enig- ? ma. In everything he is the very reverse of what we would naturally suppose he would c be. One would suppose that the heart of the rich man was full to overflowing with grati- o tude, and that poverty had crushed out every " grateful feeling in the heart of the poor. This J would be a natural conclusion. Such, how- 'c ever, is not the case. Riches choke out grat- n itude just as the thorns do the tender corn ; tl and the only place that gratitude will flour- " ish, is in the house of adversity. As a rule, the rich are not grateful to God for the bless- ? ings which he, in his providence, has bestowed upon them. There is nothing sinful in being t] rich ; but there is much danger. No doubt ii one of the reasons why it is so hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, is on b account of the fact that riches and ingratitude ^ generally go together. No man can be rich ^ and not proud, unless a greater amount of t( preserving grace is given to him than usually d falls to the lot of man. One of the tendencies a of riches is to destroy the feelings of depend- ti ence either upon God or man. Such a feel- b ing is the reverse of gratitude. ' That riches are not congenial to gratitude ^ is a fact demonstrated by the every day oc- w currences of life. The little favors which are t( bestowed upon the poor, are more gratefully sj received than the great gifts that fall to S the lot of the rich. This is the case with re- ^ gard to the favors which are shown by one member of the human family to another. It is much more so in respect to those blessings y which are granted to the human family by U the giver of all good. It would be no diffi- v cult matter to find individuals who once were ?. grateful to God for food and raiment, who rJ now, since they have grown rich, have for- S( gotten God. When they were poor, they d thanked God for all the blessings he bestowed upon them. Once they were accustomed to ^ thank God for their daily bread when the ^ supply was scanty. In the season ot their _ poverty, they were accustomed to worship y God night and morning in their families. ~Q Now, in the time of their prosperity, when d their coffers are full, and their fields bring si ' forth in abundance, God is forgotten, and they ? retire to their beds and arise from a night's re 61 pose as ungrateful as the dog throws himself ? upon the straw which has been provided for a him by his master. tl The more God gives us the more grateful we ought to feel. This is not the case, as facts Unmistakably prove. In fact, God's bless- P, ings often are so many and so great, as to ob- ? literate every feeling of gratitude. David never was more grateful to God for blessings g than when he was forced to hide in caves w and mountains that he might escape his enemies ; nor had he ever less gratitude than when his earthly prosperity was greatest. The truth of what we say is easily tested. It can be submitted to the test of experience. C( Do we grow grateful in proportion as God i ti blesses us? If we do not, this settles the ! fi 1 matter forever. Men, we fear, however, are ; ^ li-ItVi rjr>rTa hloecinnrs no t.hov nrP with Grid's ? J rains. Thankful for the gentle shower that! lays the dust, but fretted by the rain that ^ saturates the hills and overflows the low-lands, f, The Borrowing of Jewels.?When the j r Orientals go to their sacred festivals, they al-; c J ways put on their best jewels. Not to appear . v 1 before the gods in such a way, they consider ; r 1 would be disgraceful to themselves and dis-! j< ; pleasing to the deities. A person whose j p ! clothes and jewels are indifferent, will borrow j s, of richer neighbors; and nothing is more com- p mon than to see poor people standing before a | the temples, or engaged in sacred ceremonies,; ti ' well adorned with jewels. The almost pauper Jj bride or bridegroom at a marriage may often j tl I be seen decked with gems of the most costly S| ) kind, which have been borrowed for the occa- j( sion. It fully accords, therefore, with the ( idea of what is due at a sacred or social festiI val, to be thus adorned in their best attire, n > Under these circumstances, it would be per- 1 p .1 x. > ? , iectiy easy iu uunuw ui mc j^jjuauo tuui a | jewels, as they, themselves, in their festivals, a , would doubtless wear the same things. It is u also recorded that "the Lord gave them favor v iu the sight of the Egyptians." It does not d appear to have been fully known to the He-1 r . brews that they were going finally to leave ' g ) Egypt; they may have expected to return ; t! and it is almost certain that if their oppres- a , sors had known they were not to return, they tl would not have lent them their jewels. u f cjiiutmcnt. ! LET THE CHILDREN ALONE. Let your children alone when they gather j round the family table. It is a cruelty to j ainper them with manifold rules and regula- j ions about this, and that, and the other. As j jng as their conduct is harmless as to others, i ucourage them in their cheeriness. If they : o smack their lips, and their suppings of milk ,' nd other drinks can be heard across the street, ' ; does not hurt the street; let them alone. 1 Vhat if they do take their soup with the rong end of the fork, it is all the same to the , irk; let them alone. j n _ I f 1 1 J A . Ta. a ? 1. a ouppose a cmiu uues noisii ussiriugui as a amrod at the table; suppose a cup or tumbler lips through its little fingers and deluges the late of food below, and the gohlet is smashed, J nd the table-cloth is ruined ; do not look a ( bousand scowls and thunders, and scare the oor thing to the balance of its death, for it ( as scared halfto death before; it "didn't go to o it." Did you never let a glass slip through our fingers since you were grown ? Instead f sending the child away from the table in J nger, if not even with a threat, for this or ny other little nothing, be as generous as you rould to an equal or superior guest, to whom ou would say, with a more or less obsequious mile, "It's of no possible consequence." That rould be the form of expression even to a tranger guest, and yet to your own child you emorselessly, and revengefully, and angrily lete out a swift punishment, which for the ime almost breaks its little heart,aud belittles ou amazingly. The proper and more efficient and more Jhristain method of meeting the mishaps aud elinquencies and improprieties of your chilren at the table is eifher to take no notice of hem at the time, or to go further and divert ttention from them at the very instant, if ossihle, or make a kiud apology for them ; iut afterwards in an hour or two, or, better till,'next day, draw the child's attention to he fault, if fault it was, in a friendly and aving manner; point out the impropriety in orae kind way ; show where it was wrong or ude, and appeal to the child's self-respect or mnliness. This is the best way to correct all araily errors. Sometimes it may not succeed; ometimes harsh measures may be required ; ut try the deprecating or the kindly method rith perfect equanimity of mind, and failure rill be of rare occurrence.?Dr. Hall. 4 ? 4 TOM'S GOLD DUST. tt i n i rn j til*. "uncie, sum iora, one uay, u seeius io ae your things don't look as well as they light." They were in the garden, and "the hings" the boy had his eyes on were the curant bushes. "I don't expect they do," replied his uncle; I'm no great hand at a garden. Well, sir, hat can you improve ?" "I can try on the currants," Tom replied. They want to be trimmed out, and the wood ut off, and the right suckers trained. Don't ou ever dig around them, and put ashes on he roots?" His uncle had never done these things; did ot know how they ought to be done. He bought, he said, "currants took care of themslves." "But they can be cared for," said Tom, and do all the better." "Suppose you try it, my boy," said his unle. His uncle did not believe much would come fit, but he had reason to change his mind, luch did come of it. All at once, it seemed i him, for time goes fast with an old man, is bushes were loaded with fruit, fine large urrants, such as his garden had not seen for lany a day, if ever before. People, when hey walked into the garden, exclaimed, What splendid currants you have !" "That boy knows how to take care of his old dust," said his uncle often to himself, nd sometimes aloud. Tom went to college, and every account aey heard of him, he was going ahead, Iayig a solid foundation for the future. "Certainly,", said his uucle, certainly, "that oy, I tell you, knows how to take care of is gold dust." "Gold dust!" Where did Tom get gold ust ? He was a poor boy. He had not been ) California. He never was a miner. Where id he get gold dust? Ah! he has seconds nd minutes, and these are the gold dust of me?specks and particles of time, which oys and girls, and grown up people are apt i wnsto nnd throw awfiv. Tom knew their alue. His father, or minister, had taught im that every speck and' particle of time as worth its weight in gold; and the son )ok care of them as if they were. He never ient them foolishly, but only in good b.irains, "for value received" was stamped on all e passed away. Take care of the gold dust. dttle American. + ? ? In Everything give Thanks.?A few ears ago, whilst the cholera was raging in a irge town in the east of England, I paid a isit to a poor woman who lived just on the utskirts of the town. We spoke of the terible visitation whiclj had made such fearful I ivages in so many happy homes, and I objrved, how grateful she must be that her own j ear ones were yet spared. "Yes, sir," she said, I hope I do feel grate- 1 ll to God ; my little boy had to put me in lind of it though, I am ashamed to say." < he then went on to tell me that for weeks ' ast she had heard her little son, a boy of ten J ears old, continually saying to himself, "0 i lod, I thank Thee 0 God," at all times of the ( ay, and with such intense earnestness that le could not imagine what he was so thank- . il for. Atlastshc asked him what he meant. * I am thanking God for not letting the cholra come to us, mother," answered the child. I prayed so hard that He would keep it away, nd you see He has ; so, of course, I must i lank Him." His mother added that this little incident ad impressed her much, for though she had rayed continually and fervently to find the ! liildren inattentive; the avenues to the heart , losed ; a golden opportunity lost. Pastors, superintendents, co-workers in the ! abbath-school, let the teacher's half-hour \ ith his class be to you sacred time. 1 Do not divert his attention for one moment. J You cannot tell how great may be the re- . ponsibility you thereby take upon yourselves. < Forethought and Independence.?In onnection with industry, children should be lught to take care of property. They should nd that labor is the source of property, and nat property carefully preserved and dili- ! ently improved, rapidly accumulates. This lay be done in such a way as not to excite a lercenary spirit, but to stiumlate a spirit of onest independence. Let them see that com- 1 irt and respectability arc the result of honest J ldustry and perseverance ; accustom them to aise their standard of the comforts and de- 1 encies of life. Show them the neat, clean, ' ,-ell glazed and well furnished cottage, sur- ; ounded with little thrifty conveniences, which > occupied by some industrious, thriving cou- , >le who have only their own labor and its reuIts on which to depeud ; tell them how their rosperity began?perhaps in some childish ct of industry and frugality; the produce | urned round and round, each time, upon a 1 irger scale, until they were able to maintain j hemselves, and have gradually risen to the j tate of comfort and sufficiency they now en- i >y Saying Grace.?How soon will a child j 1 otice the religious practices of the family! j; 'he saying of grace, the asking of a blessing i' t the table, will set the young thoughts astir j s to the meaning of the thing. Then, grad-11 ally, the idea of some great Power that proides the daily bread of the family will become istinct iu the child's mind. The ever-recuring acknowledgement of God's being and oodness, and of the gratitude due to Him as ' lie giver of every good and perfect gift, leaves j distinct impression upon the young soul 1 hat is beginning to ask itself the meaning of i' hatever strikes thesenses. That there should over be a meal in a Christian house without, I a blessing asked, decently and reverently, is j a crying sin of omissions?a sin against the \ souls of the little children of the family in j particular. m fJtfrMlc TEBM8 IN A DVANCE : One Copy, one year, 8 3 00 One Copy, Six montlis, 1 50 | OneCopy, Three months, 1 00 I Single Copy, 10 \ * n<i l A vwpiuo, UIIC w Ten Copies, " " . 25 00 , jESfTo persons who make up clubs often or more names, an extra copy of the paper will be furnished one year, free of'charge.

They are the [5 It EAT DI.OOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Renovator and Invigcirntor oi he System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the ilood to a healthy condition. No person can take these Bitters iccordiug to directions and remain long unwell, provided their sines are not destroyed by mineral poisons or other means, and he vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative as well an a Tonic, >osses*iiip, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful gent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, L. d of all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMA LE COMPLAINT*, whether in young or ild, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the unioflifc, these Tonic Bittershave no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumntlsm nud lout.

One lottlc in such coses will convince the mo*t incredulous of their uratlve effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities lursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions or Sores; Icansc it when you find it obstructed or sluggish in the veins; lcansc it when it is fonl, and your feelings will tell you when.

Old prcjudicen arc dying out. New facts are killing hem. The Idea that Invalids, weakened by disease, can be releved by prostrating them with destructive drugs, is no longer ntertalned except by monomaniacs. Ever since the introducionof Da.
