Sidney Smith's Cold.?Sidney Smith was
humorous to such an extent that when it was
proposed to make him Bishop, the idea so
shocked the Cabinet that the witty clergyman
was only promoted to the office of canon.
That Smith's conduct gave good reason for the
refusal may be seen from the following anecdote
given by Lord Houghton, in his "Monographs,
Personal and Social," for the authority
of which, he says, he will not vouch, but
which seems to him good enough to be true.
On being settled at his small life in Yorkshire,
Sidney willingly assisted his neighbors in their
clerical duties. On one occasion of this kind,
he dined with the incumbent 011 the preceding
Saturday, and the evening passed in great hilarity,
the 'Squire, by name Kershaw, being
conspicuous for his loud enjoyment of the
stranger's jokes. "I am very glad that I have
amused you," said Sidney Smith, at parting,
"but you must not laugh at my sermon tomorrow."
"I should hope I know the difference
between here and at church," remarked
t)<o rruntlnnvni n-ifli eliuniiiocs "T am nnt.
sure of that." replied the visitor. "I'll bet
you a guinea on it," said the 'Squire. "Take
you," replied the divine. Next day the preacher
ascended the steps of the pulpit, apparently
suffering from a severe cold, and, with his
handkerchief to his face, at once sneezed out
the name Kershaw, in various intonations.
This ingenious assumption of the readiness
with which a man would recognize his own
name in sounds imperceptible to the ears of
others, proved accurate. The poor gentleman
burst into a guffaw, to the scandal of the congregation,
and the minister, after looking at
him with stern reproach, proceeded with his
discourse.
A Mistake Was Made.?A young lady
gave "her young man" a beautifully worked
pair of slippers, and lie acknowledged the present
by sending her his picture encased in a
handsome frame. lie wrote a note to send
with it, and at the same time replied angrily
to an oft-repeated dun for an unpaid-for suit
of clothes. He gave a boy 10 cents to deliver
the package and notes, giving explicit directions
as to the destination of each. It was a
l)oy with a freckled face, and he discharged
his errand in a manner that should give him a
niche in the temple of fame. The young lady
received the note in her adored one's handwriting,
and flew to her room to devour its
contents. She opened the missive with eagerness
and read: "I'm getting tired of your
everlasting attentions. The suit is about
worn out already. It never amounted to much
anyway. Please go to thunder." And the
tailor was struck utterly dumb when he opened
o viawxd and rltapAroroH a nu'fiim rvf Iiiq flplin
quent customer, with a note that said : " When
you gaze upon the features think how much I
owe you." When the unfortunate young man
called around that evening to receive the
happy acknowledgements of his sweetheart,
lie was very ostententatiously shoved off the
steps by the young lady's father.?San Francisco
Chronicle.
A Mystery Explained.?One of the most
learned and dignified members of Austin bar
got a terrible rebuff from Old Uncle Mose last
week. The old man had Jim Webster hauled
up before Justice Gregg for stealing his Spanish
chickens. As Jim Webster has political
influence, he was defended by two lawyers.
Uncle Mose was put on the stand and made
out a bad case against Jim Webster, testifying
to have found some of the chickens
in Jim's possession, and identified them by the
peculiarities of the breed.
One prominent lawyer then undertook to
make Uncle Mose weaken on the cross-examination.
"Now, Uncle Mose,"said the lawyer, "suppose
I was to tell you that I have at home in
my yard half a dozen chickens of that identical
same breed V"
"What do you suppose I would say, boss ?"
"Yes, what would you say if I was to tell
you I've got that same kind of chickens in
my yard ?"
"I would say, boss, that Jim Webster paid
up yer fee wid my chickens," and a pensive
smilo front nrnimrl iiiirlar flip nlil mail's P:irs
ami met at the hack of his head.?Texas Siftinys.

Tom Marshall and the Judge.?Tom
Marshall was engaged in the trial of a case in
the interior of Kentucky, when a decision of
the Judge struck him as so bad that he rose
and said:
"There never was such a ruling as that
since Pontius Pilate presided on the trial of
Christ."
"Mr. Clerk," responded the Judge, "tine
Mr. Marshall $10 for contempt of court."
"I confess your Honor," continued Tom,
"that what I said was a little hard on Pontius
Pilate, but it is the first time in the history of
Kentucky jurisprudence that'it is held that
to speak disrespectfully of Pontius Pilate is
contempt of court."
"Mr. Clerk, make the fine $20 for a continuous
contempt," said the Judge, solemnly.
"Well, Judge," Tom added, "as you won
all my money last night at poker, lend me the
twenty."
"Mr. Clerk," cried the Judge, hastily, "remit
the fine. The State can afford to lose the
money better than I can."
"I congratulate the Court upon its return
to a sane condition," said Tom, resuming his
seat amid roai's of laughter.
Measure for Measure.?A friend tells
us the following anecdote, which we pronounce
decidedly good: "One of the storekeepers
of this place, a few days since, purchased
of an Irish woman a quantity of butter,
the lumps of which intended for pounds, he
'weighed in the balance*aiul found wanting.'
"Sure it's your own fault if they are light,"
said Biddy, in reply to the complaint of the
buyer, "it's your own fault, sir?for wasn't it
a ]>ound of soap I bought here myself, that I
had in the other end of the scale when I weighed
'em !" The storekeeper had nothing more
to say 011 the subject.
?. m
May.?May is considered an unfortunate
marrying month. A down east editor says
that a girl was asked not long since to unite
herself in the silken tie to a brisk lad, wno
named May in his proposals. The lady tenderly
hinted that May was an unlucky month
for marrying. "Well, make it June then," honestly
replied the swain, anxious to accommodate.
The damsel paused a moment, hesitated,
cast down her eyes and said with a blush,
"wouldn't April do as well ?"
83T "Why did you send me such a barrel of
apples V" indignantly exclaimed a man to his
grocer. "What ailed the apples ?" asked the
grocer. "Why they opened well enough at
the top, but grew worse all the way down."
"The trouble was, said the grocer, "that you
opened the barrel at the wrong end. If you
had opened the other end first you would have
found the apples growing better all the way
down."
85? Everybody remembers the famous Irish
eelio which, when the guide called out, "IIow
do ye do V" answered, "Purty well, I thank
you." But this is quite outdone by an echo
in the Pyrenees. "Observe," says the guide,
"how the sound is repeated from rock to rock
and from crag to crag, and especially how beyond
the frontier the echo has a perfectly distinguishable
Spanish accent."
85? The story is told of a canny Scot, who,
having recently lost his wife, was receiving the
commiseration of a friend. " Yon have a great
trial, Mr. Campbell." "Yes. sir, you may
well say that," was the reply. And then
pausing, with a shake of his head : "Not only
was it a great trial, but let me tell you, a matter
of varra considerable expense."
85" An old toper, who once attended the exhibition
where a learned professor caused
several explosions to take place among gases
produced from water, said:
"You don't catch me putting much water
in my liquor after this. I had no idea that
water was so dangerous, though I never take
much of it!"
83T A gentleman complained to old Banister
that some malicious i>erson had cut off his
horse's tail, which as he meant to sell him,
would be a great drawback. "Then," said
Charles, "you must sell him wholesale."
"Wholesale!" says the other; "how so ?"
"Because you cannot retail him.."

THF SOUTH AND FERTILIZERS.
There are two methods of manuring practiced?one
for the immediate crop, which tends
to exhaust the land, and the other for the land
itself, tending to increase its permanent fertility.
All intelligent, thrifty farmers will acknowledge
that the latter is altogether preferable.
There is no doubt that crops can not be
continually taken from the land for a succession
of years without depriving it of the elements
that are necessary to their growth. The
object in using guano is to supply the plants
with the elements they require, but it is simply
impracticable for the ablest chemist to compound
any mixture that will contain all that a
plant needs, and what such an attempted mixture
does not contain the plants must draw
from the soil. What is thus taken is always
much more than is contained in the most concentrated
guano. The use of this stuff has
been condemned by some farmers, and certainly
by the writer after careful experience, for
three reasons: because its sole use tends to the
exhaustion of the soil; creates in the farmer
a thriftless disposition, by discouraging the
saving of home-made manures; and because
n,,. ...l.som aiis_
CliU J'llLCO VIUU ^VU lilt VTAIVUIVIHUV, ? UUUJ VUT
proportionate to its cost.
The fertility of any soil is the measure of
any plant food that it contains in a form available
for the growth of crops. This fertility is
generally produced naturally by the decay of
vegetable matter, or artificially by manure applied
by the farmer. A soil that is naturally
poor may he made fertile by applying the elements
of plant food. contained in stable manure
and compost, or by allowing and fostering
the growth and decay of vegetable matter.
It is evident that such a result cannot be obtained
by the sole nse of guano. This stnlT
does not possess some of the elements needed
by crops, but all of its energies are consumed
in the forcing of the immediate crop. When
this crop, therefore, is taken off the land, there
is nothing whatever left to keep up the fertility
of the soil, which becomes exhausted, and,
in a f^w years, what is known as rust in cotton
and grain makes its appearance. The sole
use of guano will be followed by rust as surely
as day is by night. As a proof of this, we
find that wherever?in Europe, the North, or
the South?guano has been long and increasingly
used, tla soil lias deteriorated in quality.
We note this particularly here in South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama, where the last census
reported that "an area of low production
is now central, and that it is moving westward,
due to poor soil and its exhaustion." This is
particularly the region of the South where
guanos are most used, and the use of them the
writer believes to be the cause of the steady
deterioration of the soil. Our farmers have
had, this season, a fair opportunity to test the
effect of guano under a drought, and many
with whom the writer has conversed have acknowledged
that their cotton crops would have
been better without its use ; that it probably
increased the tendency to burn.
The use of guano creates in the average farmer
a thriftless tendency, by inducing him to
rely for his manure upon this stuff, instead of
stock lot and compost heap. The readers of
your paper know well that the majority of
farmers pay no attention whatever to homemade
manures; very few even pretend to make
a compost heap, or to save the droppings of
their cattle. In the old Cotton States, where
guano is used, their sole idea or eifort is to obtain
from the county agent in the spring guano
for their land. The habit of saving is discouraged,
and that of extravagance is induced.
This is one of tiie most injurious effects that
the trade in commercial fertilizers has had upon
the South.
Prices charged by dealers are extortionate,
and out of all just proportion to the cost of the
material. The very best brands of guano sold
in the South do not cost at the factories over
$18 per ton, to which freight to the interior ol'
the South iunl commission must be added, say
an average of about S<5 per ton, so that the total
cost, delivered at our stations *200 miles
from the coast, does not exceed $*24 per ton, to
the manufacturer. The stuff is then sold to
the farmers on credit at the rate of 450 pounds
middling cotton per ton, worth, say about $45.
It is surprising that farmers can be induced
to believe that any manure that costs only
$24 delivered at their railway station can be
worth $45 to their land. The writer has obtained
oflicial reports of the amounts of ammoniated
fertilizers sold last spring. In South
Carolina there were 121,000 tons distributed,
and in Georgia 150,000?say in both States a
total of 271,000 tons?for which the farmers
are now paying at the rate of $45 per ton, the
enormous sum of over $12,000,000 ! I must
say that such huge figures stagger one's belief,
but how can they be contradicted ? How, under
such a condition, can our farmers prosier?
It is only a question of time when their bankruptcy
will follow the exhaustion of their
lands. They have already largely overtraded
in this matter of guano to such an extent that
now, owing to the shortage in the cotton crop,
many of them are unable to pay their notes
given for the stuff hist spring.
Our farmers have been completely infatuated
with comn eveial manures, and their infatua
tion has be n encouraged by the many manufacturers
and dealers who make their living
out of their sale. At the last session of the
Georgia Legislature Mr. McWhorter introduced
a bill to actually prohibit the sale of
guano within the State. Ilis views were extreme,
and did not lind acceptance among his
fellow members, but many of his assertions as
to the injury to the farmers that the guano
trade caused, were incontrovertible. Anything
written against the general use of guano
will probably meet adverse criticism, and the
strong opi>osition of thousands of dealers in
the South ; but it is a subject of such grave
importance to our farmers that it is well their
attention should be strongly directed to it, and
that they should be shown the evil and its
remedy before another season comes around,
when the stuff will be again seductively offered
them. This guano trade is one of the
greatest drains upon the agricultural interests
of our section, and it is full time that it be
arrested, A. 1'. i\

RESOLUTIONS OF CONGRESS.
The following are the resolutions adopted by
the House of Representatives relative to the
death of James A. Garlield, late President of
the United States:
"Whereas, The melancholy event of the
violent and tragic death of James A. Garlield,
icitu xicdiucut ui wic unaru ouuirO) imviu^
occurred during the recess of Congress, and
the two houses ol' Congress sharing in the general
grief, and desiring to manifest their sensibility
on the o casion of public bereavement ;
Resolved, 1'at the two houses of Congress,
will assemble n the hall of the House of Representatives
on a day and hour to be lixed and
announced by a joint committee, and that in
the presence of the two houses there assembled
an address on the life and character of
James A. Garfield, late President of the United
.States, be pronounced by Hon. James G.
Rlaine, and that the President of the Senate
pro tent, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
be requested to invite the President
and ex-Presidents of the United States,
the heads of the several departments, the
Judges of the Supreme Court, representatives
of foreign governments, the Governors of the
several states, the General of the Army, the
Admiral of the Navy, and such ollicers as
have received the thanks of Congress.
Resolved, further, That the President of the
United States be requested to transmit a copy
of these resolutions to Mrs. Lucretia R. Gartield,
and to assure her of the profound sympathy
of the two houses of Congress for her
deep personal affliction, and their sincere condolence
for the late national bereavement.
Esposito, tiie Bandit?Sixoulak Stout
of His Identification.?Quite a strange
story is told in connection with the arrest in
New Orleans of the bandit Esposito, who is
now being tried for his life in Italy. It shows
how the hand of fate pointed him out to an
American and through the work of an American
artist while a prisoner in the bandit's
camp. It appears that the artist was a guest
of an Italian prince, and in a raid on the
prince's villa was captured and taken to the
mountains. Esposito, at first was loth to believe
that his men had made such an error in
capturing a beggarly artist instead of the
wealthy prince, commanded the artist to draw
his picture. The injunction was too readily
obeyed, and in short order the bandit's face
and figure were sketched on a piece of paper.
Subsequently the artist was ordered to write
a letter to the prince, begging for a ransom,
which accidentally was written on the reverse
side of the paper bearing the bandit's picture.
The artist wanted so tear off that por
tion, to which the bandit objected, saying that
it might alter the general bad opinion of his !
l>ersonal appearance. The ransom was forwarded
and generously returned to the artist
by the bandit, but the letter and picture were
preserved. "When the Ilenneseys struck Esjkjsito's
trail in New Orleans, to be sure of ins
identity, an artist was employed to sketch him
at the first opportunity. The sketch was for
warded to Italy, compared with the sketch
made by the captive artist, and the chain of
evidence against him was completed.
The Sand Blast.?Among the wonderful
and useful inventions of the times is the common
blast. Suppose you desire a piece of marble
for a gravestone ; you cover the stone with
a sheet of wax no thicker than a wafer ; then
you cut in the wax the name, date, etc., leaving
the marble exposed. Now-pass it under
the blast and the sand shall cut it away. Remove
the wax and you have the cut letters.
Take a piece of French plate-glass, say two
by six feet, cover it with line lace and pass it
under the blast, and not a thread of the lace
will be injured, but the sand will cut deep into
the glass wherever it is not covered by the
V/\tf I'niilm'H tlm Ll/.o *1 ml vnn 1|!1VP !l
dcliciite and beautiful figure raised on the
glass. In this way beautiful figures of all
kinds are cut in glass at a small expense. The
workmen can hold their hands under the blast
without any harm, even when it is cutting
away at the hardest-cutting glass, iron or
stone, but they must look out for linger nails,
for they will be whittled off right hastily. If
they put on steel thimbles to protect their
nails it will do but little good, for the sand
will soon whittle them away ; but if they
wrap a piece of soft cotton around tliem tliev
are safe. You will at once see the philosophy
of it. The sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance?even glass?hut does not
affect substances that are soft and yielding,
like wax, cotton, line lace, or even the human
hand.?Journal of Science.
The Plug IIat.?An exchange paper says
that the plug hat is virtually a sort of guarantee
for the preservation of peace and order.
He who puts one 011 has given a hostage to the
community for his good behavior. The wearer
of a plug hat must move with a certain
sedateness and propriety. He cannot run, or
jump, or romp, or get into a light except at the
peril of his headgear. All the hidden influences
of the heaver tend toward respectability,
lie who wears one is obliged to keep the rest
of his body in decent trim, that there may be
no incongruity between head and body. He
is apt to become thoughtful through the necessity
of watching the sky whenever he goes
out. The chances are that he will buy an umbrella,
which is another guarantee for good
behavior, and the care of hat and umbrella?
I perpetual and exacting as it must ever he?
j adds to the sweetness of his character. The
man who wears a plug hat naturally takes to
the society of women, with all its elevated
tendencies. He cannot go hunting or fishing
without abandoning his beloved hat, hut in
the moderate enjoyment of croquet and lawn
tennis he may sport his heaver with impunity.
In other words, the constant use of a plug hat
makes a man composed in maimer, quiet and
gentlemanly in conduct, and a companion of
I the 'ladies. The inevitable result is prosperity,
marriage and church membership.?Hatter's
Gazette.
Tiie Lion's Tongue.?The very peculiar
formation of the lion's tongue did not escape
the notice of our anatomist, hut lie does not
say much about it. I have now in iny hand
the dried tongue of a lion ; it is covered by
sharp pointed, horny papilla;, set very thickly
upon its surface. The papilla;, 011 the front
portion of the tongue are much larger than
those in the rear part of the tongue, hut the
smaller ones are set closer together than those
in front. Each papilla; consists of a horny
spine, the point of which is curved and set directly
backward, reminding me much of the
spines 011 the tail of the thornback ray. On
applying this lion's tongue to the cheek I find
that the roughness is so great that with a little
pressure a wound might easily he made in
the human skin. The use of this is to scrape
off the meat from the hones of the animals,
for the lion is not a great hone eater?lie
leaves the hones for the hyenas to crack, those
animals having teeth especially constructed
for the cracking of hones. This peculiar
roughness of the tongue is also present, hut in
a less degree, in the common cat, and it can
lie seen when the cat is lapping milk, but still
lintfov if flm fnmriin nf ;i Unfmiet. sneeimpn be
taken out, put l'or a while in spirits and then
pinned tight 011 a board. This rough tongue
is of great importance to the health of the.
lion.
-
The Mouths ok tiie Lena.?Our St. Petersburg
correspondent telegraphs: "To arrive
at the mouths of the Lena the boats of
the ship-wrecked Jeannnette must have pushed
between New Siberia and the island of
Fadievskoi, which is inhabited only during the
summer by nomads, who arrive at the close of
winter in sledges drawn by dogs. Further on
in her course was 1'Ile Petite and the island of
Stolbovoi. The distance is about live hundred
miles from the localtty of the shipwreck to the
mouths of the Lena. These mouths are situated
in the most dreary and desolate part of
the eoniines of Northern Siberia. The whole
coast was last visited and described by Lieut.
Pierre Anjou in 18J3. Previous to that these
vast regions, occupying a distance of hundreds
of miles along the coast, were explored in 1735
and 1730 by Lieut. Prontschischeff, and at
their furtherest extremities by Lieut. Dimitri
Lapleff in 1739. The place where boat No. 3
landed is situated between the grave of Lieut.
Lassinius, who perished in 1735, with thirtylive
of his companions, and that of Lieut.
Prontschischeff and his wife, who perished in
1730. From this point to Yakutsk the distance
is more than a thousand miles, through
a desert country completely destitute of population."?JYc/o
York Herald.
Women and Ladies.?In the days of our
fathers there were such things to be met with
as men and women ; but now they are all gone,
and in their places a race of gentlemen and
ladies?or, to be still more refined, a race of
'ladies and gentlemen" has sprung up. Women
and girls are among the things that were;
but "ladies" are found everywhere. Miss
Martineau, wishing to see the women wards
in a prison in Tennessee, was answered by the
warden, "We have no ladies here at present,
madam." Now, so far as the ladies are concerned,
it was very well that none of them
were in prison ; but it sounds a little odd?
ladies in prison ! It would seem bad enough
for women to to go to such a place.
A lecturer discoursing upon the characteristics
of women illustrated thus : "who were
the last at the cross 'i Ladies. Who were the
first at the sepulchre V Ladies. On the modern
improvement we have heard of but one
thing that beats the above. It was the linishing
touch to a marriage ceremony, performed
by an exquisite divine up to all modern refinements.
When he had thrown the chain of
Hymen around the happy couple, he concluded
by saying, "I now pronounce you husband
and lady." The audience stuffed their handkerchiefs
in their mouths and got out of the
room as quickly as possible to take breath.
Fences.?It is of course next to impossible
to do away with fences altogether. Division
fences of some kind are desirable, yet thousands
of miles of useless fences exist through
the country. Few realize how costly a fixture
the farm fence is, and it is only by the presentation
of aggregated facts that an interest is
.-irmixfd iii the mat for and attention secured.
Illinois is said to have ten times as much fence
as the whole of Germany, and it is claimed
that Dutchess Co., X. V., has more than all
France, Germany and Holland combined. A
few years since in South Carolina the improved
land was estimated to be worth ?*20,UO0,b0O,
while the fences at the same time cost
U0U,UU(J. The annual cost of replacement is at
least a tenth of the lirst cost. A calculation
made some eight years since placed the cost of
the fences in the United States at $1,300,000,000.
More than forty years ago Nicholas
Diddle said the fences in Pennsylvania had
cost S100,000,000. In Ohio they have cost a
still larger sum, while in New York, only a
few years since, the estimated cost of the '
fences was S141,000,000. Some time in the
future many fences now in use will disappear,
and shade trees or neat hedge-rows take their
place.

Heading in Bed.?Reading in bed is not a !
custom to be commended. The brain should
not he exercised when the rest of the rest of 1
giving itself up to repose. This rule applies (
especially, of course, at night, after the labors
of the day, and when the brain is in a state of

DEATH.
There is something in the word death that
is very sad. By the law of association, it suggests
to our minds a long train of sad and
mournful facts. It suggests the separation of
friends who will meet 110 more in this world.
How sad it makes the hearts of parents when
they are called upon to take their children out
of their homes and lay them away in the cold
ground ! IIow sad it njakes the hearts of the
children, when, i^i the Providence of God,
they are called upon to take the lifeless body
of their father, or of their mother, and consign
it to the grave, to be fed upon by worms,
br to molder into dust!
Those are scenes which have been witnessed
so often that their number cannot lie reckoned.
They have occurred in every community on
the face of the earth. They are now occurring,
and they will continue to occur, while
the world lasts. Death will visit our homes,
and when it comes it will make sad havoc. It
will change our countenances and send us
away. No matter how pleasantly we may be
situated, or how gladsome may be our hearts,
our lieauty will soon be turned into ashes and
our joy into sorrow. Instead of lieing permitted
to look continually, with a smile, upon
the ruddy cheeks of our children, with streaming
eyes and hearts ready to break, we will be
forced to gaze upon their cold and lifeless
bodies.
All this and more is suggested to the mind
by the word death. It is all sad. There is
nothing pleasant, nothing joyful, in death.
It is an unnatural thing.
To the believer in Christ Jesus, death is
robbed of his sting, deprived of his strength,*
but to-the unbeliever death is a terrible thing.
It closes the door of mercy and bolts it, never
to be opened again. It is sad to be parted
from earthly friends; sad to bid adieu to those
we love; but what is that compared with being
forever separated from God V Who can describe
the feelings of that human being from
whose soul hope has lied ? Dark, gloomy and
dreary as the grave may be, it is not to be
compared to that place, where God has forgotten
to be gracious.

THE FINAL JUDGMENT.
There are some things connected with the
administration of the affairs of this world
which the human mind cannot grasp. "We see
two classes of men in the world. The one
class neither fears God nor regards man. The
other class has purposed in their hearts to serve
God and do good unto all men. In the distribution
of the gifts of providence there is, no
doubt, a difference made by God in favor of
that class which serves him, but it is not easy
to see it. In fact, the favors not unfrequently
seem to be bestowed upon those who will
not have the Lord to rule over them.
Poor, short-sighted mortals expect all the
apparent differences which God makes in his
providence, to be in favor of the righteous,
and because they are unable to see things as
they think theyoughttobe, they doubt. God's
faithfulness is questioned, or they doubt
whether they themselves are what they profess
to be. However easy it may be to live by
faith and not by sense, it is a kind of life that
few men are willing continuously to live.
"Show me a sign," is the clamor which unsanctified
lips make. "Can the Lord give us
bread to eat in the wilderness ?" lias been repeated
thousands of times since the days of
Moses. Asaph was troubled when lie contemplated
the dealings of God's providences. Ilis
carnal sense led him to conclude that the righteous
would lie, all the days of their lives, free
from ill and be blessed with an abundance of
all that is good. This he did not see. On the
contrary, he saw the prosperity of the wicked
and the tears of the righteous. The order of
things was the very opposite of what sense led
him to exjiect.
The contemplation of such a state of things
by sight, nearly plunged him into the vortex
of restless Atheism. In his haste he said:
"If the gifts of providence are thus distributed,
verily I have cleansed my heart in vain."
There is a key which unlocks the door that
excludes the light from our eyes. The Lord
will come, on the consummation of the present
dispensation, to judge the world in righteousness.
Then, and not until then, will all

The weak and those who have little confidence
in themselves, may make haste to be
avenged of theirenemies; but God is not weak,
and he has all confidence in himself. Hence,
he is in no hurry to pour out vengeance upon
sinners.
We are told that notwithstanding the many
blessings which the ungodly are ]>ermitted to
enjoy, still they are set upon slippery places.
The wicked may spring up as grass, and the
workers of iniquity may flourish; but they
shall be destroyed forever.
When the Lord comes to give every man according
to the deeds done in the body, their destruction
shall be accomplished in a moment,
and they shall be consumed by terrors. The
grandest exposition that ever shall be witnessed
on this earth, will be when Jesus Christ
conies to judge the world in righteousness.
Everything will be in commotion. Angels
will gaze with wonder and astonishment at the
scene. The righteous will be openly acquitted
and the wicked openly condemned. The secret
sins of the wicked will all be revealed and

The righteous will appear with their sins all
Wotted out ; and clad in the white robes of
Christ's righteousness, will live in the enjoyment
of indescribable bliss forever and ever.
Douijt and Fattii.?Mr. Spurgeon tells of
himself, that one day he told his people that he
had just come out of some doubts. One of
the elders of his Church said to him, "Mr.
Spurgeon, why didn't you tell them that you
had been swearing, that you had an awful
time blaspheming V" "O, I couldn't tell such
a thing." "If you had, would you have got
up and told them ?" "No, sir; I never could
have told that on myself." "You might just
as well. I would like to know if doubting is
not just as dishonorable to God as blasphemy V"
Mr. Spurgeon said he thought the elder was
right. Yet people seem to think it a good deal
of a virtue to doubt, and they praise it, and
tell ajjout their doubts. And it is doubts,
doubts all the time. If God says a thing, it is
enough. When the Lord bids us to come, we
want to walk right out and let the devil come
and cast his insinuations, and ask us, "How i
do you know that is true V" we want to say, j
"Christ says it," that is enough. If that i
plank don't hold, what will V
There was a man converted up in my native j
town, and I was telling him we wanted to start j
an association there, and get all the young j
Christians together, and we did not want any
man to join that association that did not be- j
lieve in the Bible from back to back. This ;
young convert spoke out, calling me by name, i
"That's right, Dwight. If that hitching post j
dop't hold, none will." I think the old farm-!
erhad it. If the Lord's word don't hold us, '
what will V If we can't feed on God's word, !
what can we feed on ? If we can't walk on j
the promises of the Lord, what can we walk 1
on V
AVe ought always to deal justly, not only ;
with those who are just to us ; but likewise to 1
those who endeavor to injure us ; and this, too,
for fear lest, by rendering them evil for evil,
we should fall into the same vice.?Jlicrocles. i
How easy it is for some people to praise
themselves, and their work, to point out their
good qualities?they seldom see the poor
ones?and remark 011 the perfectness of the
undertaking. They forget the advice given
in the good book : "Let another praise thee,
and not thine own mouth."
g?grThe best tilings are nearest ; breath in
your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at
your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God
just before you. Then do not grasp at the
stars, but do life's plain, common work as it
comes, certain that daily duties and daily
bread are the sweetest things of life.
SaT Death is a great levelor. At the mouth
of the grave the rich man leaves his riches and
the poor man his poverty, and both enter
naked. In the grave there are 110 quarrels.
The dust of sworn enemies commingle in that
narrow house appointed for all.
<gT What are called irreligious men have
many good things for which they get 110 credit
; and what are known as eminently pious
men are great sinners. God restrains the most
wicked, and in his holy providence, he permits
the best men to sin.
Ilell is the harvest of iniquity ; every
sinner reaps what he has sown. Ileaven is
the harvest of holiness; every saint reaps
what Christ has sown for him, and what, under
Divine teaching, he has been sowing for
himself.
63T In this world a man is likely to get what
he gives. Men's hearts are like a whispering
gallery to you. If you speak softly a gentle
whisper comes back; if you scold, you get
scolded. With the measure you mete it is
measured to you again.

cowards, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
THE YORKYILLE ENQUIRER.

IN issuing our prospectus for 18S2, we deem it
only necessary to announce that the leading
features which have characterized the editorial

labor and care that have marked our efforts in the
past. While the Literary and Miscellaneous features
of the Enquirer will be kept up to the
standard which has given the paper a distinctive
character, careful attention will also bo given to
the News department, which will embrace a record
of the leading events at the State and National
Capitals; Congressional and Legislative
Proceedings; "Scraps and Facts," being a hotch
potch of light current topics; a coinpenti or tuo
News Abroad and at Home; General Correspondence;

GOOD COFFEE.
Everybody wants it, but very few get it, because
most people do not know how to select coffee,
or it is spoiled in the roasting or making. To
obviate these difficulties has been our study.
Thurber's package Coffees are selected by an expert
who understands the art of blending various
flavors. They aro roasted in the most perfect
manner (it is impossible to roast well in small
quantities), then put in pound packages (m the
been, not ground,) bearingonrsignaiure as a guarantee
of genuineness, and each package contains
the Thurber recipe for making good Coffee. We
pack two kinds, Thurber's "No. 34," strong and
nunerent. Thurber's "No. 41." mild and rich.
One or the other will suit every taste. They have
three great points, good quality, honest quantity,
reasonable price. Ask your Grocer for Thurbcr's
roasted Coffee in pound packages, "1V0. 34," or
"Xo. 41." Do not bo put oil" with any other kind?
your own palate will tell you what is best.
Where persons desiro it we also furnish the
"IileaV' CofTee-pot, the simplest, best and cheapest
eolfee-pot in oxistenco. Grocers who sell our
ColTeo keep them. Ask for descriptive circular.

P. S.?As the largest dealers in food products in
the world, wo consider it our interest to manufacture
only pure and wholesome goods and pack
them in a tidy and satisfactory manner. All goods
hearing our name are guaranteed to be of superior
quality, pure and wholesome, and dealers are
authorized to refund the purchase price in any
case where customers have cause for dissatisfaction.
It is, therefore, to the interost of both dealers
