Advantages of Education.?When
schools were established in the South for the
education of the negro, they were eagerly
patronized by the colored folks of all ages.
Coy maidens of thirty and bashful lads equally
old, gayly trudged to school with diminutive
primers in their hands, while the small
fry swarmed in the school houses, and were
enthusiastic on the education question. Of,
Pete, the subject of our anecdote, it might be
truly written that "ne'er did pencil trace a
whiter eye or blacker face." His former master,
Dr. H , had taken great pains with
him, instructing him daily in reading and
writing. In the fall Pete was i,o go to school,
and anxiously looked forward to it. This
was in 1869, when the sun was to be in total
eclipse in August. There were all sorts of
rumors among the colored people about calamities
which would happen at the time of
this phenomenon. A few days before it occurred,
the following conversation took place
between Pete and a friend:
"Pete, did you know dar was gwine to be a
'clipse of de sun next week ?"
"i es," said Pete, "I heard de folks talkin'
'bout it."
"Pete, I hear dat awful things is gwine to
happen when it comes. Dey say dat the
nnrlH in cfwin# tn nnmfi fn an And."
Curling his lips in scorn, and fixing his big
white eyes on him, Pete answered, with contempt,
"Go 'way, niggah. Don't you know
dat school opens in September ? How, den,
can de world come to an end in August ?"?

He Came Back.?Governor Duval, of
Florida, was the son of a poor Virginian, a
stem, strong, taciturn man. The boy was
a huge youth of fifteeen. At the cabin fire,
at bed-time, according to the custom of
putting on a back log, the old man said, between
the whiffs of his silent pipe:
"Tab, go out and bring in that gum backlog,
and put it on the fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the log. He
knew it was of no use explaining that it was
too heavy, nor prudent for him to return
without having it on his shoulder. His little
sister, passing, was not surprised that be requested
her to bring out the gun and powder
horn, as a possum or coon might have passed,
or the brother might have seen bear signs. She
brought the gnn and Tab started. He found
the way through the woods into Kentucky, in

was elected to Congress. A man of immense
size and strength, he started for Washington,
go*ng by the way of his old home, to see the
folks who had long since given him up for
dead. Entering the little cabin door near
bed time, he saw the identical gum log. He
shouldered it, pulled the latch-string, and
with his load, stood before the old man, pipe
in mouth, as quiet as usual.
"Here is the gum back log, father."
"Well, you've been a long time getting it

upon it, that he had learned to regard
it as of Cyclopean proportions. He went into
a crockery store, and said to the proprietor:
"A moustache cup, please."
"Certainly, sir," responded the proprietor,
with alacrity ; "what style does he prefer?"
"It's for myself," returned the youDg man,
frowning slightly.
"Eh ?" exclaimed the proprietor, in great
surprise, staring at the customer.
"I want it for myself," repeated the young
man, sharply.
The proprietor turned away in a dazed
mauner, and in his excessive bewilderment
handed down a gilt-edged cup bearing the
inscription, "To my child." The young man
looked at it in a tone of speechless astonishment,
and shot out of the door.?Rockland

The old fashion in Virginia for negroes,
was to wear long tails of crape tied round
their hats, and to bang down their backs.
A planter one day met a strange negro on
the road, decked out with a superabundant
amount of crape that reached almost to his
heels.
"Who do you belong to?" asked the planter.
"Mrs. , of Albemarle," replied Cesar.
"Where are you going?"
"To Massa 's furnace; I've been hired

B&F The celebrated violinist, Joachim, during
a winter residence in North Germany,
was in the habit of watching the skaters on a
fine piece of water beneath his windows, until
one day it occurred te him to try the exercise
himself. As he had never yet donned a pair
of skates, he put himself into the hands of a
roan who provided skates and instructions in
the art, on the brink of the water, and was
soon equipped and started on the ice, the master
leading his pupil. Finding no difficulty in
keeping his balance under these circumstances,
Joachim feeling sure he could go alone,
desired his leader to leave him, and the next
minute was sprawling on the ice, on his back.
"Aha !" said the teacher, triumphantly, as he
raised his prostrate pupil, "you see it is not
quite so easy as playiug the fiddle!"

THE CURSE OF MEROZ.
No doubt Meroz was a town, or possibly a
region of country some place in the neighborhood
of Kishon. If it was the name of a
town, its exact locality is not known. So far
as we are aware, it is mentioned in the Scriptures
only once. The probability is that it
was swept away with the bessom of destruction.
In that grandest triumphal ode on record,
we find these words: "Curse ye Meroz,
said the angel of the Lord; curse ye bitterly
the inhabitants thereof." Judges, 5:23.
There is something in these words which
are calculated to arrest the attention of the
most cursory reader. The reader is anxious
to know why the angel of the Lord issued the
command to curse Meroz. Why is the command
given to curse its inhabitants bitterly ?
What, he is ready to inquire, have these people
done ?
For their backsliding!, the Lord had sold
the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin,
king of Canaan. The captain of Jabin's army
was Sissera. For twenty years, Jabin
had, we are told, "mightily oppressed the
children of Israel." Jabin seems to have
been a mighty man. He had nine hundred
chariots of iron. To deliver his chosen people
from the oppression of this mighty tyrant,
God raised up Deborah, a prophetess, and
wife of Lapidoth. The oppression of Jabin
was most keenly felt, no doubt, in the region
of which this prophetess and judge of Israel
dwelt. Goaded by tyrauny and influenced
by God, this pious woman incited her people
to rebel. She advised Barak to lead ten
thousand men against Sissera. The spirit of
of Barak was, no doubt, broken, and he positively
refused to lead the hosts of rudely
armed Israelites, against the forces of Jabin,
unless Deborah would, in person, accompany
the expedition. This she did, and a great'
battle was fought in which Jabin's forces |
were literally cut to pieces. Sissera was slain
by a woman. When the battle was over
and a glorious victory won, Deborah, who
was a poetess rather than a predictor of future
events, sang, in conjunction with Barak,
that grand epic which we find recorded in the
fifth chapter of the book of Judges.
What has this to do with the cursing of
Meroz ? What did the inhabitants of Meroz
do on that memorable day, when the Lord
delivered Israel out of the hand of Jabin ?
Were the inhabitants of Meroz Canaanites,
who more than any others oppressed the people
of God ? No. It appears that the inhabitants
of Meroz were Israelites. Wherever
the town of Meroz was situated, it was inhabited
by those whom Deborah had risen
up to free from a "mighty oppression." They
were not Gentiles. Had this been the case,
they would have shared the common discomfiture.
It may be asked, then, had they
turned traitors and joined the forces of Sissera?
No; for in that case they would have
shared Sissera's fate. Not one word is said
about the inhabitants ot Meroz turning traitors.
It is not intimated that they sympathized
with Jabin in the least. On the contrary,
they were, in all probability, glad that
Jael killed Sissera, and that Jabin's power
was destroyed. The inhabitants of Meroz
incurred the displeasure of God aud had a
bitter curse pronounced upon them; not because
of what they did, but because of what
they did not. In other words, the angel of
the Lord commanded the inhabitants of Meroz
to be bitterly cursed because they did
nothing. "They came not to the help of the
Lord ; to the help of the Lord against the
mighty." Some sad calamity?a bitter curse
no doubt?befell the inhabitants of Meroz.
It would be only conjecture to say how God
punished the inhabitants of Meroz. It is
highly probable that he razed, in some way,
the town to its very foundation, and brought
some signal destruction upon the inhabitants.
In this there is something very suggestive.
God has no use for drones. He has a bitter
curse for those who stand and gaze as idle
spectators at the strife which is constantly
tmincr on het.ween vice and virtue: between
b b ?
religion and irreligion ; between Christ and
the devil. We are prone to judge favorably
of ourselves, and think, if we do not say it,
that we have done no harm ; or we have not
done much harm ; or we have done less harm
than some one else I This, if such be really
the case, is very encouraging. That man who
can look back over his past life and truthfully
say he has done no harm, or very little
harm in the world, has, at least, cause of rejoicing.
We should remember, however, that
the stones, which lie scattered over the surface
of the earth, or buried in its bosom,
never do any harm. They have never, since
they were created, done anything. Hence,
to be able to say we have uever done any
harm, may only entitle us to equal praise with
that which is due to a stone. What good
have we done? Have we come up to the
help of the Lord against the mighty ? It is
far more important that we enquire what good
have we done, than that we should attempt
to comfort ourselves with the vain and unmanly
belief, that we have lived moral drones.
We may rejoice in the glorious thiugs
which are daily accompiisnea tnrougn ine
gospel. We may rejoice that the strongholds
of Satan are yielding to the irresistible influence
of Divine grace; we may rejoice that
the spread of the gospel promises liberty to
the oppressed ; but what are we doing ? Are
we doing something or nothing ? We may
rejoice that we live in a Christian land, a land
of Bibles and Sabbaths, and still b* like the
inhabitants of Meroz, not comiug up to the
help of the Lord. God expects us to be more
than simple well-wishers of his cause. We
must put to our hands and help. God does
not need our help, in order that his gracious
designs may be accomplished. Still we must
go into the vineyard of the Lord and work.
The bitter curse of Meroz awaits all those
who, like Meroz, do nothing.
To Break off Bad Habits.?Understand
the reasons, and all the reasons, why the habit'
is injurious. Study the subject until there is j
no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, persons, and thoughts that lead to |
temptation. Frequent places, associate with |
persons, and indulge in thoughts that lead
away from temptation. Jveep nusy ; idiepess
is the strength of bad habits. Do not give up
the struggle when you have broken your resolution
once, twice, thrice?a thousand times. I
That only shows how much need there is for
you to strive. When you have broken your
resolutions just think the matter over and endeavor
to understand why you failed, so that
you may be on your guard against a recurrence
of the same circumstances. Do not
think it an easy thing you have undertaken. I
It is a folly to expect to break off a habit in
a day which has been gathering for years.
The Best Way.?In all the dealings of
life, open, candid, straightforward ways are
the best. When a man begins to deceive or
try to procure by manoeuvre and trick what
ought to be gained by honest bargain and intercourse,
he is turning aside from the truth,
and seeking to perpetuate a wrong upon his
neighbor.

THE CHTJFA.
its merits and value as a 8tock food.
Messrs. Editors: Ab I have grown the chufa,
the past season, I propose to give ray experience
and views upon the subject for the
benefit of my fellow farmers who have had no
experience with them. As there has been so
much said and written about them of late, I
will not elaborate, but be brief and to the
point.
I regard the chufa as the key to success of
the South, as the greatest drawback ou the
Southern farmer is the immense quantity of
bacou he has to buy to carry on his farmiiig
operatious, and the only way to remedy this
is to raise his own bacon, which can be easily
and cheaply done by planting the chufa. I
claim that every farmer can raise his ovrn
bacon and lard as easily and cheaply as the
housewife raises her poultry, if he will but
plant an acre or two in chufas.
They are very prolific and require very
little cultivation. They will yield from two
to four hundred bushels per acre, (according
to the land.) A'l that is necessary to be
done is to keep the grass and weeds from
them until they get a start, and they will
soon smother the grass out, as they grow and
branch bo rapidly. Think of it?two to four
hundred bushels per acre! What else can we
raise to yield so enormously with so little
I cultivation? Why not raise all the hogs we
want and give CufFee his share of stealage besides?
Chemical analysis shows thAt they
contain more fattening properties than anything
else yet discovered?superior to corn,
sweet potatoes, wheat, oats, barley, &c.
There is scarcely a number of the Southern
Cultivator, (published at Athens, Ga.,) but
what urges upon the farmer the necessity of
planting chufas and raising his own meat. I
planted a small patch?an ordinary dwelling
house would have covered the land?and
gathered from it twelve bushels, and am confident
that I did not gather more than half.
The patch was surrounded by sweet potatoes,
peanuts and cow peas, and when I put my
hogs in they rambled over the different patches
the first day, .but finally, on the second
day, they centered on the chufa patch, and
did nut leave as long as they could find one.
To use a common expression, they rooted the
patch "up-side down" and left potatoes, peanuts
and cow-peas in profusion untouched as
long as they could find a chufa.
Chickens and poultry of all kinds are exceedingly
fond of them, and it fattens them
very fast, and causes them to lay eggs in
abundance. The chufa imparts a delightful
flavor to the flesh, and causes the fowls to clei-J
n Ui<?Uam rvMi/ia ?r* mo rlrot Tfr imnokta a
luciuu a Miguel piiVQ iu uiaiacw xt nujiano ?
flavor similar to the canvas back ducks that
feed on celery on the Chesapeake Bay, so noted
and so much sought after for their delicate
flavor.
Siuce our disastrous war, there has been
quite a change in our system of farming in
the South. Formerly cotton, corn, and a little
wheat and oats, were all we thought of planting
; but since the war we have been experimenting
with the various other productsseeking
for the cheapest and most profitable
food for stock. All of the grasses of the North
and West, as well as of Europe have been
tried, none of them which have given entire
satisfaction (taking everything into consideration)
except the chufa, and strange to say,
but few farmers in this portion of the State
know anything about it. It fills the bill of
the Southern farmer exactly. 1st. Because
of its productiveness. 2d. The small amount
of labor required for its cultivation, and its
value as a food for hogs and forage for horses
and cattle. More food and forage can be
gathered from one acre of chufas than anything
yet introduced into the South?especially
if we can take into consideration the
amount of labor required for its production.
It is said by all writers who have experimented
with them, that land that will make ten
bushels of corn to the acre will make one
hundred bushels of chufas; but let us say
fifty bushels, (which is certainly a low estimate)
and see how it stands compared to
corn. The standard weight of chufas, after
having been washed and dried, is 46 lbs. to
the bushel. 10 bushels corn, 56 lbs. to the
bushel, would be 560 lbs.; 50 bushels chufas,
46lbs, to the bushel, would be 2,300 lbs.
giving 1,740 lbs. to the acre in favor of chufus,
and actual experiments have established
the fact that, pound for pound, in flesh producing
qualities, the chufa is superior to corn.
This may seem an exaggerated and overdrawn
calculation, but it is uot, as every man who
I ... A% _ / -!.. a. *_1 Ml i!_i.
nas given mem a lair iriai win suosianuaie.
I have in my possession at least a dozen articles
from men of thorough experience with
them, giving much farger yields than this.
Chemical analysis has proven that they are
superior to corn, sweet potatoes, wheat, barley,
or anything else that we feed to hogs, and
as we can raise so much more with so much
less cultivation, every farmer who wishes to
succeed should get a stock of hogs and plant
chufas.
The tops can only be utilized as a forage
for horses and cattle. It makes excellent hay,
cut, say the latter part of July or August, hefore
the leaves begin to turn, and the cuttiug
will be a decided benefit to the tubers, causing
them to grow larger, ripen earlier and
better, and attain more substance and solidity.
One of the most valuable characteristics of
the chufa is that it does not rot, but will live
in the ground the whole winter perfectly
sound, (same as the artichoke,) and comes up
again next spring?if let alone?but very
easily exterminated if desired. Another is,
it is very hardy and will grow on almost any
soil, under any circumstances and conditions.
I said in the commencement that I would
be brief, and here is quite a lengthy article,
and yet I have not said half that could be
said in favor of the chufa. I could not have
said less and done anything like justice to the
merits and value of the chufa as a stock food.
I would insist upon every farmer getting a
few and trying them for himself, and my
word for it, he will think he has found a
"gold mine."
I have a few bushels to sell, and any one
wishing to experiment with them can get
them at 35c. per quart, postage paid, or 88.00
per bushel, by addressing me at Chappell's
Depot, Newberry county, S. C.
J. 0. DICKERT, m. d.
Can't Sleep.?It is probable that many
who cannot sleep during the fore part of the
night, are themselves the cause of it. They
reverse the order of nature by sitting up
late, till they think they can sleep if they go
to bed, and then sleeping late in the morning,
thus turning night into day and day into
night.
If such persons cannot break off this habit
of untimely wakefulness and untimely sleepiness
by early retiring, let them try the effect
off extra early rising. Let them rise at
least two hours earlier than usual, and if this
does not do, then add an additional hour or
more, and perseverance a month or more in
this way, and to shake off their morning drowsiness,
engage in some active employment.
Meantime, let them retire at early bed-time.
Persevered in long enough, this course, I
think, would have the desired effect in the j
case supposed.?T. S. G., in Jndiana Farm>tr, j
I fifes?" Calves' or sheep's lights and livers,!
which can always be obtained in the market- j
house for a few cents apiece, are valuable to I
feed to fowls, for two reasons. They are de- j
void of bones, and they closely resemble in- ;
j sect diet. We advise the cooking of any sort i
of meat food, always. These "harselets" (or i
those of swine) should be boiled, seasoned |
with salt and pepper, and fed, say twice a 1
week, to fowls, where they can be had ban.}}- '
ly, For laying hens, when .confined in winter,
this change of food from constant grain* j
feeding is excellent, For young stock, where i
the chickens are confined to small runs or!
close cages, this meat, ohopped up and mixed
three times a week with their soft food, will
i help the younglings, wonderfully.
, PROPER TIME TO FELL TIMBER.
A correspondent of an exchange says: "In
a recent number of your paper, I note the remark.
'Authorities are disagreed in regard
to the season of the year at; which timber
should be cut with a view of its durability.' j
| Such questions are to be decided only by I
j carefully acquired experience, and thus it i
j may not be improper to state the results of
| my own observations during a protracted Hfei
time and a constant application to practical
j pursuits.
"The most appropriate month for felling j
timber appears to be July. Cut the tree j
1 1 1 - A. ?A __ .1 - J f_._A ? ?A I
uown, lei 11 lay on me ground just as it ip, |
not touching leaves or branches, and the
juice will soon he evaporated by the July sun,
Even a bean stick cut in July will last three
times longer than one cut in the spring.
Late in the fall or in the winter time, you
may chop the tree into pieces and use it as
you please, provided, however, that pieces of
timber to be put in or laid on the ground are
thoroughly seasoned by having been exposed
to the effect of the air and sun for a whole
year. August is nearly as good as July, and
thence there is an observable decrease of advantage
in the following months, till the end
of the year, from which time the decrease is
remarkably rapid, reaching its lowest point
in May, when the sap wood is most gorged
with juice.
"It is a known fact that floated wood is of
great durability. Smaller pieces may be
made very durable by boiling them in water,
whereby the vegetable albumen, the principle
cause of the rot, is removed. Larger pieces
may be kept for a while, say several months,
in running water. After the most considerable
portion of the albumen contained in the
sap has been (in May and June) expended in
the formation of the foliage, young shoots and
blossoms, the. tree is fittest for being felled.
From January the storing up of albumen by
the action of the rootlets begins anew. From
July to the end of the growing time, the
juice is chiefly prepared by the leaves out of
I the carbonic acid of the atmosphere and is
far less subject to decomposition.
"Dry timber does not rot in the ground before
having again attracted moisture ; if this
can be effectually prevented, or if the timber
be constantly kept surrounded by water,
there will be no decaying."
Save the Old Paper.?Never throw away
old paper. If you have no wish to sell it,
use it in the house. Some housekeepers prefer
it to cloth for cleaning many articles of
furniture. > For iustance, a volume written by
a lady who prided herself on her experience
and tact says: "After the stove has been
blackened, it can be kept looking very well
for a long time by rubbing it with a paper every
morning. Rubbing with paper is a much
nicer way of keeping the outside of the tea
kettle, coffee pot and tea pot bright and clean
than the old way of washing them in suds.
Rubbing with paper is also the best way of
polishing knives, tinware and spoons ; they
shine like new silver. For polishing mirrors,
windows, lamp chimneys, etc., paper is better
than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep
much better if brown paper, instead of cloth,
is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so
apt to mould if a piece of writing paper,
cut to fit the can, is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under a carpet
.1 Ti aL! 1 I
man straw, it is warmer, miuner auu maaea
less noise when one walks over it.
Horseshoeing in Various Countries.?
In the United States, England and France,
the horseshoer simply takes the horse's foot
on his knee to shoe it. This depends to some
extent on the nature of the breed of horses,
which in some countries are, on the average,
more shy, and most of them could not well
be treated in this way. Thus in the Netherlands,
and in part of Germany, the horse is
placed in a narrow stall, where short chains
are attached to the uprights; then one of
these chains is placed around the horse's ankle
and the foot lifted and tied up to a convenient
height for the smith to do bis work.
In Turkey and Servia the horse's head is held
by one man, another holds the leg on his arm,
while the third operates 011 the foot. In
Russia the horse is placed in a square cage
made of rough wooden planks, and is strapped
around the belly with wide leather straps
attached to cross bars of the frame work ;
his head is also safely tied, the foot is fixed
to a stake in the ground and held by an assistant,
while the smith nails on the shoe.
Freckles.?It is quite common for young
people to feel mortified in the possession of
freckles, and to try lemon juice, borax and
other things to get rid of the trouble. Those
who go much in the fresh air and sun and
are inclined to freckle, might about as well
make up their miuds to keep their freckles.
The best remedy yet discovered is to be so
pleasant, unselfish, good-natured, and jolly,
that everybody will be glad to see your
freckles come into the room. Little mortified
maidens, try that.
Cleaning Mixture.?To clean coat collars
and to take out grease from floors or carpets,
and to clean paint or white walls (calsimined)
take half a bar of washing soap,
and a lump of saltpetre and sal soda each as
large as a walnut; add two quarts boiling
soft water, stir well and let it stand till cool,
then add three ounces of ammonia, bottle
and cork tight. Will keep good a year. It
is best to bottle when lukewarm, and add the
ammonia at any time.
Icing that will Stick but not Break.
One cupful white sugar; enough water to dissolve
it; set on the stove and let it boil until
it will 'bair;' beat the white of one egg to a
stiff broth ; pour the heated sugar on the egg
and stir briskly until cool enough to stay on
the cake. The icing should not be applied
until the cake is nearly or quite cold. This
will frost the tops of two common-sized cakes.
8?" In a German paper we note a hint given
by Dr. Schaal, with reference to the taking
of cow's milk by persons who have a weak
stomach. He says he always succeeded in
avoiding any evil effects by eating a little
salt on bread, either before or after taking
the milk. When he omits to do this, a single
glass of milk will produce diarrhoea, whereas,
with salt, he can take a whole litre, or
somewhat over a quart.
Croup.?Croup can be cured in one minute,
aud the remedy is simply alum and sugar.
The way to accomplish the deed is to
take a knife or grater and shave off in small
particles about a teaspoonful of alum ; then
mix it with twice its quantity of sugar, to
make it palatable, and administer it as quick
as possible. Almost instautaneous relief will
follow.
What Varnish will Do.?Much of the
carved wood and wooden utensils from Japan,
often supposed to be walnut, is simply common
wood stained with the juice of unripe persimmons.
Some of the moat elegant wood carvings
at the Centennial Exhibition were of this
nature, and yet it deceived some of our most
experienced cabinet-makers.

the largest number of tubers, the flowers
should be plucked off to prevent the formation

PROSPECTUS FOR 1878.
0D8 MUM PBEMIDM OFFERS 1EIEWED.
XN announcing our PROSPECTUS for 1878, we
deem it necessary only to mention the fact

the ENQUIRER for the past TWENTY-THREE
YEARS will be retained, and no efforts will be
spared by the Publisher to render it in the future
as-attractive and interesting a family and news
Journal as it has been in the past.
THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT
Will, as heretofore, consist of ORIGINAL SERIAL
STORIES, written expressly for our columns,
of which a number are already in hand,
from the pens of meritorious writers, and will,
we feel assured, prove entertaining to the lovers
of fiction. Tn addition to the Serial Stories, the
other Literary features of the ENQUIRER will
consist of the usual miscellaneous selections of
thd cream of tho press; an Agricultural Department,
conducted with special reference to the
wants of the Southern farmer and house-wife ; a
column of Humorous Rending each week; a
Sabbath Reading and Children's Department,
each conducted by Rev. Robert Lathan, under
whose management, for the last eight years, these
departments nave neen an important, attractive
and instructive feature; Historical and Biographical
Sketches; Poetry ; Fashion Articles, <ftc., Ac.
NEWS OF THE HAY.
Particular attention Is given to collating and
condensing the news of the day, and this department
of the ENQUIRER, whether treating of
matters at home or abroad?political or otherwise?will
be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented,
"free from sectional or party bias.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.
To meet the demands of our numerous readers
in Chester county, we havecontinued our engagement
of Brainkrd McLure, Esq., who will contribute
a letter of correspondence from Chester
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the
town and county?and written in the racy andgraphic
style peculiar to Mr. McLure. they cannot
fail tone of interest to our readers in Chester,
as well as elsewhere in the State.

Smith's Bible Dictionary.
This Dictionary is the worK of Or- William Smith, of the
Urilyejsiiy qf London, Hud lliu most eminent lexicographer Iq
the world, who, In Its preparation associated with himself oyer
seventy distinguished divines and authors, of bqth Btjropo and
this country, (n the groat taslt of preparing 8 oompmhonslve Dlotlonnry
qf the Hihlo, m?d supplying a want long felt by the religions
pqhllc, The result of these labors appeared In three large
and very oostly volumes, a wonderful monument of learning.
An abridgement of this great work, for popular use, made by Or.
Smith himself, Is the one we have arranged to furnish our subscribers.
The booh contains every name in the Bible respecting
which anything can be eald. It embrace* the result* of historic
research, antiquarian investigation, the study of languages and
dialects, and the discoveries of the modem traveler* and explo
renin the Holy Land?Bohlnson, Hawlinaon. Ferguson, Lay
ard, Offertand Stanley. The book is printed from new stereotype
plates, on good paper, and is appropriately Illustrated with
over 125 Engravings of beautiftil Scenes, Ancient Cities, and
Memorable Places of the Holy Land, descriptive Figures and
valuable Map*. It contains nearly 800 closely-printed, doublecolumn,
octavo pages. Including 24 elegant full-page. Steel and
Wood Engravings. It Is printed In type of a heavy, distinct, and
very legible face. The publisher's price of the Dictionary Is
Three-Quart Communion Set.
Churches unsupplied with a Communion Set appropriate to
the requirements of the sacred rite of administering the Lord's
Supper, can, by our Premium arrangement, secure a fine, treble
silver-plated three quart Communion Set of six pieces, with little
trouble, and, comparatively, at no cost. The number of subscribers
required in order to secure this valuable and elegant Ser
vice can be procured In almost any congregation; and the mem
bets who may be thus called upou to contribute their share ot
the expense, will receive in return more than the value of their
contribution in a year's subscription to the paper.
Onr Silver Ware and Cutlery Premiums.
Wirh the very liberal offer which we are enabled to make, a
beautifully fumlibrd table Is now wlihlu the reach of almost every
house keeper; and here I* an opportunity, of which, If the.

a valuable set of Silver or Cutlery. Those articles are made for
us by Chaa. E. Huntington, the successor of the Lucius Hart
Manufacturing Company, 22 Fulton street, New York, and are
warranted to be of the best material.
'
Value of oar Premiums.
We would impress upon every one the (bet that all or our
Premiums are first-class goods, and the prices attached to them
In our Hats are the regular retail price* at which the articles sell
by all dealers and the manufaeturers themselves. It 1* only by
the most advantageous terms given us by the manufacturers that
we are enabled to make the liberal offers we do, and we guarantee
every article to be exactly as represented.
A Club and au Extra Copy.
For a club of t?* subscribers paid In advance at the regular
clnb rates, we will give, Instead of a Premium, an extra copy of
the paper to any who may prefer that arrangement; but In consequence
of the liberal Premiums we are now offering, we cannot
afford to give an extra copy to the club-maker who receives
any Premiums enumerated on our list.
