When she came to work for the family on Congress street, the lady of the house sat ( down and told her that agents, book-peddlers, 1 hat-rack men, picture sellers, ash-buyers, rag- t men, and all that class of people must be met t at the front door and coldly repulsed. Sarah \ said she'd repulse them if she had to break t every broomstick in Detroit. h And she did. She threw the door wide r open, bluffed right up at em, and when she g got through talking, the cheekiest agent was c . only too glad to leave. It got so after awhile I that the peddlers marked that house, and the t door bell never rang except for company. v The other day, as the girl of the hoase was s wiping off the spoons, the bell rang. She i hastened to the aoor, expecting to see a lady, a but her eyes encountered a slim man, dressed t in black, and wearing a white necktie. He t was the new minister, and was going around 1 to get acquainted with the members of his f /\ wa ft v\+A lrflAW V uugii) uui uaiau waou l uv ?uvi? *, this. r "Ah?um?is?Mrs.?ah !" c "Git!" exclaimed Sarah, pointing to the s gate. ? "Beg pardon, but I would like to see? t see?" t "Meander!" she shouted, looking around 1 for a weapon, "we don't want any flour-sifters t here!" f "You're mistaken," he replied, smiling blandly. "I called to?" ( "Don't want anything to keep moths 1 away?fly!" she exclaimed, getting red in the face. t "Is the lady in?" he inquired, trying to e look over Sarah's head. 1 "Yes, the lady is in, and I'm in, and you ] are out!" she snapped, "and now I don't 1 want to stand here talking to a fly-trap agent I any longer. Come lift your boots!" i "I'm not an agent," he said, trying to i smile. "I'm the new?" "Yes, I know you?you are the new man < with the patent flat-iron, but we don't want i any, and you'd better go before I call the dog!" < "Will you give the lady my card and say < that I called?" " "No, I won't; we are bored to death with I cards and handbills and circulars. Come, I i can't stand here all day." 1 "Didn't you know that I was a minister?'.' he asked as he backed off. 5 "No, nor I don't know it now ; you look j like the man who sold the woman- next door ] a dollar chromo for eighteen shillings." < "But here is my card." 1 "I don't care for cards, I tell you!" If ] you leave that gate open I will have to fling ' a flower-pot fct you!" 1 "I will call again," he said, as he went < through the gate. 1 "It won't do any good !" she shouted after ( him ; "we don't want no prepared food for ( infants?no piano music?no stuffed birds! 1 I know the policeman on this beat, and if , you come around here again, he'll soon find 1 out whether you are a confidence man or a 1 vagrant!" I And she took unusual care to lock the ] door.?Detroit Free Frees. < A "Growing" Mystery.?People passing up High street at noon, might have seen a , very stout citizen bending over .a mound of , fresh earth in his yard, hands under his coat ( tails and his eyes directed upon a small green sprig which had just pushed its heads above i the earth. The stout man shook his head . and seemed puzzled, and he called across the j street to a neighbor who was trimming a rose , bush: "Say Jones, come right over here this min- J ute! I'll be hanged if something hasn't ( started to grow in my garden. Jones crossed over. The two bent over the sprig with bated breaths surveying it from all sides, and the owner of the yard whispered : , "What if it should turn out to be Trifolium reDens ?" ' Can't be. Looks to me more like Colium , emulentura," replied the other. "It's just barely possible, however, that it may prove J to be Triticum bibernum. Let me call Mr. , Smith." J Smith, who was coming from the grocery | with a roll of butter, was halted. He survey- ( ed the sprig from six different points of the | compass, tasted of the soil, shook his head, ( and finally said: ( "It's my opinion that it is a specimen of the , Celastrous scandens, but I may be mistaken. ( It may be nothing but Thymus vulgarus" "Oh, it can't be," replied the owner of the place: "I'm almost sure it is the Hyproxys erecta. It is pretty ha#d to fool me on plants." The three great men were looking at the sprig anew, and Brown was about to observe that it might, after all, turn out to be Aralia racemosa, when an old man with a spade on his shoulder leaned over the fence and called , out: "I'll bring you a burdock as big as that for ten cents, and set it out to boot!" The three men melted away like gum drops at a pic nic, and the old man rubbed his spade acrainat-. th? ninlreta and orrnwlad "Ten cents apiece is cheap enough for healthy burdocks, an' if they don't want 'era . they needn't have 'era." A Practical Joke.?Joe Skinner was once the greatest joker in Oil City, and one of his tricks came near bringing on a riot one day. Joe was walking along Seneca street, when he suddenly stopped and began poking in the mud with his cane, at the same time allowing his other hand to slide over his shirt bosom as if in quest of something which was not there. His movements quickly attracted a bootblack, who ran up and asked : "Lost suthin', mister?" and began looking ' about. Then came a merchant and two clerks out of a store and began looking up and down the walk. A teamster jumped off bis wagon and joined in. A barber remarked, "Was it : your diamond pin, Joe?" and this was caught up aud echoed among the crowd which had gathered, until the story grew that a diamond pin worth $2,000 had been lost. The crowd extended until it filled both sides of the street, and all manner of suggestions were made, i One man proposed to shovel up all the dirt and mud and have it carefully looked over. 1 Another said the sidewalk ought to be torn 1 up. A man crowded into a place and trod on ' the 'toes of another man, who gave him a push. A blow followed and a fight took 1 Slace, and in two minutes the police were ] auling a man off to the lockup, while Joe got outside the crowd and laughed at his aw- 1 ful hoax until the tears ran down bis cheeks. 1 The search continued for two hours.? Oil City Derrick. ( "Mrss."?A woman who opened a small ( millinery store in the western part of Detroit, 1 engaged a painter to paint her a sign. When 1 it came home the other day she saw that it < read, "Mrss. J. Blank," etc., and she called out: , ' "You have got an extra 's' in Mrs., and you must paint the sign over again." The painter saw the error, but he didn't J want the job of correcting it, and he replied : 1 "Madam, haven't you had two husbands ?" i * " I es, sir/' ; "You were a Mrs. when you lost the first?" j 1 "I was." I( "And do you think a woman can go on i( marrying forever, and not lengthen out her 1 title ? Mrs. means a married woman or a j widow.

Of all the fertilizers yet invented, says the Cincinnati Commercial, none equals the welllandled barn yard manure. The quality of his article is by no means uniform, owing to he different ways of managing it. To prerent the immense wastes made by exposure o sun and rain some farmers have advocated :eeping it under cover. The simple fact that aanure has been kept under cover is no ar;uraent in its favor. The most worthless lot if manure weaver saw was made under cover, t was the result of stabling two horses aud wo cows one year. The manure had been wheeled from the stables to this shed. One ide of it was open to the west, and here the anure that had been packed by wheeling in, ,nd had^een kept wet by the rains for about Aiaiw +V?n TXTQ a ar^ollonf. All WU 1CCI livuu bug II mw VAW4>vuw> **.. he rest was fire-fanged-and light, and worthess as so much chad*. Since that year a different method has been pursued. The litter las been kept level and packed tight by arranging the stable and barn yard so the Irainage of the yard runs into the manure bed or pit, and having sheep tramp over it tnd keep it solid. One load of manure from his covered manure pit is considered worth hree made in the open yard. There is no caching nor odor arising from the shed until he mass is broken into when hauled to the ields. If the virtue of barnyard manure is to be sstimated by the intensity of odors, this surey is a prime article. We can see little to commend in the prac;ice of storing manure in the basement of (tables, but much to condemn. There is, lowever, one desirable feature in this method. It does not freeze, and can be hauled afield vhen the ground is frozen, and men and :eam3 cannot be otherwise employed. It is a nethod, however, that cannot generally be idopted, because few have barns suitable. The waste in barnyards generally is to be leplored. When the litter and stable clean- . ngs are piled in a little mound at the door >r wibdow of the stable we have an excellent levice for destroying the value of manure. The centre of the pile is the highest, heats irst, and the draft carries- off the gases perfectly. In a little while the centre is fire"anged, and destruction is complete. The neatness of even a barnyard may be secured, and it pays here as well as on other parts of the farm. If at a place convenient for receiving the manure from the stables an spen pen be built for storing the manure, it may be kept from scattering and making a iness and mud over every foot of the yard. , Ihe manure should be kept lowest in the middle, and well tramped. If the drainage jf the roof be occasionally turned on this, all the better. This mass can be loaded mote . sasily into wagons and will be found of great- -J Br bulk and strength than if allowed to scat- ; ter over the yard, exposed to sun and rains, j Just at this time when the ground is settling jo manure can be moved to the fields fortunate is the provident farmer who has turned his manure pile twice, and now has it fine and reduced in bulk. It is in condition to be at ' once appropriated as plant food, and can be taken to the field with half the labor required had it not been forked over. It can be 3pread evenly on the wheat or meadow lands, 1 while the crude manure is thrown off in chunks or forkfuls, to smother plants and be j a nuisance on the meadow or wheat field. There is a class of farmers who have a mania for making manure. Another class look on 1 it as a.necessary evil, and think themselves fortunate to have a stable and barn lot on a hillside or water course, that fall carry off the nuisance. Making manure for the sake of the manure is a little like paying a dollar or two per cord for it and hauling it several miles to the farm. In general farming this will not pay. It may do for the gardener or vegetable grower, who can take two or three 1 crops a season from the soil, and sell them at a convenient, paying market. But few of us are near such a market, and it is folly for the producer of corn, wheat, oats and hay to conclude that because the market gardener can pay such a price for manures they must be of I equal value to all. The general farmer can 1 best keep up his soil by rotations, and clover , and hops, better and at far less expense than by buying or making manure to haul to his fields. The' labor is immense, and a hun- ! dred cords of manure moved annually, will ! not treat all parts of a hundred acre farm once in ten years; whereas by clover and hops, or cattle, every third or fourth year the 1 entire farm may be well fertilized. Our con- 1 elusion, then is, that keeping stock for the 1 sake of making manure is unprofitable. It is, however, profitable to save all the manure that can be made from the animals needed to cultivate and consume the corn and fodder ; raised on the farm. In the matter of manure, as in all other things produced, let none go to waste but keep it all in good shape. Ashes Beneficial to Cattle.?One of ( our substantial subscribers, in a recent con- 1 versation, gave his experience in treating meat stock affected with the habit of eating wood, chewing bones, etc. His cattle were one spring affected in this way ; they became thin in flesh, refused to eat hay, and presented a sickly appearance. He put four bushels ' of leached ashes in his barnyard and threw out to them a shovelful every day. They all 1 ate it with evident relish. After turning them out to pasture he put a peck of ashe3 per week upon the ground in the pasture. They ate it all up and gnawed off where it 1 had been lying. The cattle began to im- 1 prove, gaining flesh and looking better than 1 they had for several years. He now gives one quart of ashes, mixed with the same quantity of salt, to twelve head of cattle, about once a week, and finds it to agree with them wonderfully. To Remove Freckles.?One ounce of alum, same of lemon juice in a pint of rosewater ; apply at night. Scrape horseradish into a cup of sour milk (cold), let it stand 1 twelve hours; strain and apply two or three Hope again was brightly beaming? Life was lit with golden gleaming; She would shun me nevermore ! She, the shining star, would guide me, Loveless, lonely nevermore; Blest and happy evermore! Ere my sweets I swallowed sours; All mv hopes were fading flowers Crushed by some destructive demon That the guise of friendship wore ! In the bitter bowl o'erflowing? In the goblet golden glowingHappiness he pledged rue, knowing Life was blighted thus before! Cruel custom, cursed while tempting, As it did in days before, Pledging friendship?nothing more! An inhuman, hellish craving, (Past the power of reason's saving,) Sprang from sleep within my being, Like a tiger tasting gore!

The following is the New York (Sun's advance report of D. H. Chamberlain's Fourth jf July oration in Springfield, Mass.: Fellow Citizens.?I have been asked, as i Southerner, to address you of the North on ;his anniversary day of- the birth of our comnon Union. As a Southerner, I deeply feel ihe significance of the request Could our -epresentative men be brought more frequently iuto contact with the masses of your people, 20uld we ofltener meet, as to day, to exchange jongratulations on the permanency of the glorious fabric which our fathers builded, and to join in the expression of sentiments appropri ite to this occasion, I know that much of the misunderstanding, jealousy and suspicious hatred that now alienate the sections would iisnppear like the sulphurous smoke of yonJer cannon that lately boomed. Therefore, I ;orae willingly and frankly, in the true spirit )f the Fourth of July, bringing to Massachusetts the frieudly aud sisterly greeting of my Dwn beloved South Carolina. For South Carolina, the State of my adoption and choice, is also the State of my love. Born and bred elsewhere, with family ties and domestic associations elsewhere, I nevertheless, yielded up to her my love and loyalty when I entered her Palmetto fringed borders in the dark days of reconstruction. I went there without money, without political influence, without previous acquaintance with the people among whom I had cast my lot, but fortified with a strong moral purpose, and animated by a sacred missionary spirit. I stood by South Carolina through all J;he virisistudes of the experiment of universal suffrage?an experiment fraught with much personal danger, but of transcendently great importance to civilization. I stood by South Carolina while her citizens grew poorer and poorer, and only left her when unavoidable circumstances compelled the separation of our ways. It is true that ray residence is no longer in South Carolina; true that my professional and personal interests now centre elsewhere, yet ray heart is still there, and an indictment for felony committed within her borders still binds me to her sunlit groves and smiling cities with a bond of exceeding strength. Therefore, as a representative South Carolinan, I thank you, men of Massachusetts, for the compliment which you have paid to my cherished State. An exile thanks you from the bottom of his loyal heatt. Whatever may have been my political course during the happy and eventful years spent at Columbia, I feel that I at least brought away the affectionate solicitude of my neighbors. I feel that they remember me, and will contin ue to remember me. I know that they are anxious to get ine back. I know that they recall my disinterested acts as Attorney-General and afterwards as reform Governor, with emotions of the liveliest character. They never can and never will forget the day when I, surrounded by men like Moses and Parker and Neagle, and Cardozo, and Honest John Patterson, but dominating them all by the force of intellect and purity of motive, exercised a permanent influence upon the destinies of the belovedlstate. They still recall ray official utterance, lofty, ringing and patriotic, as when I wrote, "There is an indefinite verge for expansion of power before u9. It is proposed to buy 8350,000 worth of Greenville and Columbia stock. This, with the 8430,000 of dock held by the State will give complete control to us. We shall have in G. and C., 168 miles, in Laurens, 31, and in S. and U., 70 miles?in all, 269 miles?equipped and running. Put first mortgage of 820,000 a mile on this, sell the bonds at 85 or 90, and the balance after paying-all outlays for costs and repairs are immense, over 82,000,000. There is a mint of money in this?or I am a fool !" Nor can it ever be forgotten that at the darkest hour of South Carolina's darkest day, when a burden of debt was crushing the people of South Carolina to the earth and grinding their estates and homesteads into dust, when the biack cloud of a State debt of twenty-six millions filled the whole Bky and darkened the future; when able financiers like Parker and Moses and Cardozo were in defho npnnle were nn the Doint of span, i revolution, I, clearheaded and self possessed, the ruling spirit of the storm, flooded Wall street with fraudulent paper and calmly wrote to Kimpton in my letters of September 3, 1870, the memorable words: Do the commissions foot up pretty well t?Eh ! !" Fellow-citizens of Massachusetts, do you wonder that the people of South Carolina are anxious to get me back ? But it cannot be. An inexorable fate and a very considerable interest in my own personal liberty keep me far away from her beloved borders. I must remain an exile, consoling myself as best I mn with the mitigating reflection that John Patterson was wrong?there is no more good stealing in South Carolina. Electric Lighting?Another Discovery.?A novel system of electric lighting is mnounced from California, where the inven;ors reside. Only one lamp (with carbon Doints) is used to illuminate a large number )f apartments. The lamp is placed near the generator of electricity and surrounded by enses and reflectors, forming a chamber of ight. These lenses are to concentrate the ightinto as many beams of parallel rays as nay be required, which beams are then earned through pipes in the street or house to lie places to be illuminated. At the bends electors are arranged to change the direcion of the beam, and whore light is wanted 'or one apartment, and the beam still has duy to perform in an adjoining room, only a iart of the beam is bent in the first apartment. The iuvet)tors declare that they have proluced 105 separate lights with a twenty iorse-power engine at a cost less than onewentieth that of gas. grading Ut the ^alibath. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original ] ministerial duties. No one who has read the Bible with even the least degree of care can lave fai led to see that God has established a church upon earth. This church is very old. It has existed for near six thousand years, and although changes have taken place in the outward modes of worship and ceremonies, the church itself has remained the same. The promise made to Eve in the garden of Paradise has been repeated over and over thousands of times with additions, but never changed. The Old Testament Church and the New Testament nt t- it.- - _ unurcn are nit same. The church under the Old Testament dispensations had certain officers. Prominent among these were the prophets and priests. The official duties of the latter consisted mainly in offering up sacrifices for the people to God. Both the priest and the sacrifices offered up were typical of Jesus Christ. So was the altar upon which they offered up the sacrifices. Christ Jesus 'was priest, sacrifice and altar. Since that which was typified by the Old Testament priest and 01(1 Testament sacrifice and altar has already come, there is no such office as priest in the New Testament church. Neither is there sacrifice nor altar. The duties of the Old Testament prophet were t^D-fold. It was his official duty to instruct the people, and God was pleased to communicate his will to his ancient people by the " prophets. These holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. To prophesy means either to teach what is already revealed or to predict what will take place in the future. In Old Testament times there were a great numl>er of prophets or perso ns called of God for the purpose of making known what would come to pass. This being the case we find that a very large amount of the Old Testament Scriptures consists of prophecies. All of these prophecies in some way refer to Christ thfe Messiah. In the New Testament there is but one book of prophecies?the Book of Revelation. All the unfilled prophecies of the Old Testament are repeated in this book. The giving of the book of Revelation completed the canon of Scripture, hence no more revelation will be made. This being the case, there is, in the New Testament church, 110 person whose official duty it is to predict*f uture events. There is ia the New Testament church an officer wjio may be called a prophet because it is his duty to teach. Frequently, but incorrectly, this offic er is called a minister, but his proper' name is preacher or herald. Since a name cau make very little difference, we may, if it is so desired, call the prophet of the New Testament church a minister and inquire what are his duties. The , duties of a preacher of the gospel are very clearly expressed in his commission: "Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Matt. 28 :19. This is the commission. No language can be plainer. The Saviour commands his ambassadors to go to all nations, Jews and Gentiles, for the purpose of making disciples of them. This is the abject of his embassy. His mission is to teach all those things that Christ has in his word commanded. He is not left at liberty to choose any subject he may see fit and deliver upon that subject a series of lectures. No. he must preach, the things that the Saviour bids him preach. We might say that the preacher of the gospel is vpnnivprl tn nreaeh what, he finds tainrht in the Bible, and nothing else. In other word3, to teach the Bible is to preach the gospel. Hence every church ought to be a school-house in which is taught tlvadoctrines of religion as revealed in the Bible. It is also the duty of the minister ol' the gospel to lead the congregation in their public devotions. In no other way can the public worship of God be maintained but by ha ving in each congregation some one whose duty it is to lead in the public services. Without, a minister, God would soon cease to -be wori shiped. God has sc ordered that a preacher is an absolute necessity to the growth of any Christian congregation. [Original.') WORTHY OF NOTE. In every Christian congregation the enterprises of the church are mainly supported by a few. Whoever will take the trouble to examine the subject will find that this declaration is strictly true. A.ll church contributions, whether of time, labor or money, are purely voluntary. This is the case in the United JStates, and it is as it should be. Xo man should be forced, by law, to worship God. The law should go no farther than to protect those who choose to worship God. All men should be left, untrammeleil by law, to choose whom they will serve. This being the case, no man ought to be bound, by law, to make contribu tions, either for the support of the gospel in his i own community, or for its spread among the nations of the earth. Every offering, that * it may be acceptable oo God, must be brought willingly. Other things being equal, what men give for i the support of the gospel indicates, very accurately, their spiritual condition. Any one can 1 see that for the vilest of mercenary purposes, ' men may make large donations to the church. 1 This is one of the many ways which ambitious i men choose to gain notoriety, win applause and secure for themselves positions of honor and power. Such contributions to the church may, with great propriety, be characterized as flaming advertisements, and are good evidence that the man who makes them is worldly wise. When the widow cast into the treasury of the Lord her two mites, she gave, by this act, very conclusive evidence that she loved the Lord. That our gifts and sacrifices mark our piety is worthy of note, and that only a few furnish the gifts and sacrifices of the Lord is also worthy of note ; but this is not the tiling which we had in our mind when we commenced this article. It was this : Those who contribute most liberally to the work of the Lord never grow poorer, whilst those who contribute stintingly rarely grow richer. One of the characteristics of a true Christian is that he keeps the Sabbath day and pays his debts. You may find some men who will scrupulously pay their debts who are not Christians, but it will be found that these men, however honest they are in all their transactions with their fellowmen, are notoriously dishonest in their transactions with God. They filch from God that portion of their existence which he demands absolutely for liis own service. It will be found, on examination, that the property which is beneficial to society is to-day in the hands of humble Christians. This property is not hampered with liens, cumbered with mortgages, or held by fraud and violence; but is free and unencumbered, productive and ben- ' eficial to the whole human family. In every land where Christ has been embraced God is fulfilling his promise to his people "that they shall dwell in the land and verily be fed." The temporal possessions of Abraham were preserved for his descendants for more than j two thousand years, and to-day the most valu- i able property of the world is in the hands of \ the offspring of pious ancestors. j The history of the world proves that no man ' was ever reduced to bankruptcy by sacrificing j to the Lord. When the widow cast into the ; I treasury of the Lord her two mites?all she | I had?she attracted the attention of Him who . commands the resources of the universe, j The thing most worthy of note is simply the ! fact that those persons who are doing a thri, ving business are those who never attempt to cheat the Lord out of his dues, God blesses ! them in their basket and in their store. Of I the good things of this life they have enough j and to spare. They may not be rich, but lie who provides for the young eagles provides for j them. Their children grow up and" inherit I their estates and enjoy the blessings of a eoveI mint-keeping God. $ 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE ' . * DR. C.

PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt untjpr the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The. stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part 'There is generally a* 1 considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin: his spirits are I low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but ;. cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to .have been extensively ^deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all wh? are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWABE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated.
