Humorous fejjartuwat. | A FRENCHMAN TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR. Under this caption the Tennessee Telegraph tells a characteristic, mirth-proving story of a "parleyvoo" gent, alias Frenchman, who, being little acquainted with horse jockies or horse flesh, was grievously "taken in" in the purchase of a mare. He gave a ?100 spot for a mare that had been fattened to sell, and to his surprise found her to be ring-boned, spav- j ined, blind, clumsy and wind-broken. Full of wrath and vexation, he went to the jockey, and requested him to take kick the jade, and "shell back" the purchase money : "Sare," said he, "I've fetch back de mare horse vat you sell me, and 1 vant the money in my pocket back." "Your pocket back !" returned the jockey feigning surprise; "I don't understand you sir I" _"You no stand under meV" >-elled the Frenchman, beginning to gesticulate iunousiy ; "yon no stand under nie ! Sare begar ;you be von grand rascalle ! You lie like Sam?like Sain?vat you call de leetle mountain ?" "Sam Hill, I suppose you mean." "Our Monsieur ! Sam de Hill?yes sare you lie like two Sam Hill. You sell me you mare horse for von hundred dollaires?he 110 vort von hundred cent, by gar 1" "Why, what's the matter with the beast !" "Mattair! say nie! Mattair! do you say? Vy, he's all mattair?he 110 go at all?he got 110 leg, 110 feet, no vind?he blind like von stone vid dat eye ; he 110 see nobody at all vid dat eye?he go v-heese-o,-v-heesc-o, like von forge hammer bellows?he go limp, limp?he 110 go over at all de ground?he no travail two mile in three day ! One, sare, he be von grand sheat?you must take him and fund de money back!" "Refund the money ! Oh, no, eouldh't think of such a thing." "Vat, you 110 fund me back de money? You slieaty me vid von hundred dollairc horse dat 110 can go at all." "I never promised you that he would go." "By gar, vot is von horse good for vhen he no go ? lie be 110 better as von dead shackass, by gar 1 Yill you, sare, take de mare horse back, and give me de money vat I pay him lor ?" "No, sir, I cannot?it was a fair bargain; your eyes were your own market, we gentleman of the turf say." "Gentlemen de turf! You be 110 gentleman at all?you be 110 turf. Mon dieu, you be von grand Turk?von sacra dem deceptione?you play von rascalle trick 011 your gotten fadder! You have no prineipalle." "The interest is what I go in for, any how." "Oue, sare, your interest be no prineipalle. You be von grand rascalle sheat! dats de vay I talks." Failing to be satisfied by the jockey, the . Frenchman sent his "mare horse" to an auctioneer to be sold. But the auctioneer seemed to have been as great a rogue as the jockey, for he took care that the fees for selling should eat up the price he got for the animal. "By gar," said the Frenchman, when relating the story, "I be slieaty all round. De shoekey horse he slieaty me in trade, and de liauctioneer he slieaty nie to dispose of de lianimalle, and den sold my horse for ten dollaire only; and by gar, he charge nie deren dollairc for sell him!

Among the rest were three of the principal men of the village, whom we will call M , B , and G , who. being all present at one of the meetings, took part in the proceedings, to the great joy of the faithful, and much to the astonishment of "the rest of mankind" then and there assembled. M , rose first, and having made a general confession of his unworthiness, said in conclusion, that he had always intended to 4>e an honest man, but if he had wronged any one he was willing to make full restitution. B followed, speaking in pretty much the same manner. G arose next, and spoke of hissinsand wickedness in quite as strong terms as the others had done; but, coming to the "restitution" clause, he remarked, with a caution characteristic of himself, "If there is any man that I have defrauded, I shall be most happy to sit down and talk it over with him." A Doctor as is a Doctor.?A self-sufficient humbug, who took up the business of a physician, and professed a deep knowledge of the healing art, was once called to visit a young man afflicted with appoplexy. Bolus gazed long and hard, felt his pulse and i>ocket, looked at his tongue and liis wife, and finally gave vent to the following sublime opinion : "I think he is a gone fellow." "No ! 110 !" exclaimed the sorrowful wife, "do not say that 1" "Yes," resumed Bolus, lifting up his hat and eyes heavenward at the same time. "Yes, I do say so; there ain't 110 hope, not the least mite?lie's got an attacK 01 mini pi in ins wsi j'rontis?" "Where ?" cried the startled wife. "In his lost frontis, and he can't be cured without some trouble and a great deal of pains. You see his whole planetary system is deranged. Firstly, his vox populi is pressing on his ad valorem; secondly, his catracarapiral cutaneous has swelled considerably, if not more; thirdly and lastly, his sol ir ribs are in a concussed state, and he ain't got any money, and consequently he is bound to die.'' Longstreet.?Longstreet's pilgrimage to the Jacobin party must have been a good deal like a man in western Pennsylvania, who inquired of a boy whether he knew where Jake Kleinfelter lived. The boy said he did. Says he "Can you tell me?" "Yes, sir," sa:d the boy. "Do you see our barn down there V" "Yes," says he'. "Go to that. About three hundred yards beyond the bain you will find a lane. Take that lane and follow along for about a mile and a quarter. Then you will come to a branch. Go up the branch about a quarter of a mile, and then you will come to a Slippery elm log. You be mighty keerful, stranger, about going on that log ; you may get into the branch; and then go on up until you get to the brow of a hill, and there the roads prevaricate, and you take the left hand road and keep that until you get into a big plum thicket and when you get there, why then?then?then." "Whatthen?" "Then, stranger, I'll be durned if you ain't lost." During the war of 1R12, between Great Uritain and the United States, a resident of Philadelphia, who took great interest in its progress, was in the habit of visiting the stage oflice every day in search of news. One day lie was at hand when the mail from Xew York arrived, and called out to the driver, "Whereabouts is General Wilkinson now V" "He is in statu quo," answered one of the paSr sengers, putting his head out of the window. "How far is that from Quebec V" was the next question. (QT A nervous old man, whose life was made miserable by the clattering of two rival blacksmiths, prevailed upon each of them to remove by the offer of a pecuniary compensation. When the money was paid down, he kindly enquired what neighborhood they intended to remove to: "Why, sir," replied Jack, with a grin on his phiz, "Tom Smith moves to my shop, and 1 move to his." ? Church Full.?An ex-Governor relates a good story of a man whose life had not been entirely unspotted, who applied to a worthy deacon for admission into the church. Unwilling to offend him, and yet not inclined to receive him, the deacon replied, "The church is full just now; when there is a vacancy I will notify you." Affected young lady, seated in a rocking chair, reading the Bible, exclaimed : "Mother, here, is a grammatical error in the Bible!" Mother, lowering her spectacles, and approaching the reader, in a very scrutinizing attitude, says : "Kill it! kill it ! It is the very thing that has been eating the leaves and bookmarks !" The other day Mrs. Sniffkins being unwell sent for a medical man, and declared her belief that she was poisoned, and that Mr. Sniffkins did it. "I didn't do it," shouted Sniffkins. "It's all gammon, she is not poisoned. Prove it doctor?open her 011 the spot, I am willing." IpKelteiMX* ?caflin(j.! DRAINAGE, FOR HEALTH AND PROFIT, j IN YORK COUNTY. Essay by J. It. Bratton, M. D., in Second : Annual Repo t of the State Board of Health ; of South Car lina. Mr. Preside) t and Gentlemen:?Now that the system of (Quarantine Regulations for the City of Charleston has been satisfactorily arranged between the municipal authorities of said city and the State Board of Health, and that the pjroper officials by appointment of said Board, have entered upon the discharge of their respective duties; now that necessary care and caution have been displayed in the diffusion of vaccine virus among the physicians of each county in the State, and by them skillfully and s iccessfully applied in their respective fields 01 labor, that "the bill to declare what shall be nuisances injurious to health," "to adopt a system to regulate the registration of marriages, births and deaths," "to regulate the licensing of physicians and surgeons," have had a favorable consideration by one branch of the General Asssemby, and bids fair to be passed by that body into statute laws at its next session, the State Hoard of Health have reason to congratulate themselves on the successful result of their past labors, and the cheering, encouraging prospects which await them in the fut ure. At this time and at this station of their successful progress, it is but natural that they should stop and enquire what remains to be done ? The field of labor before us is still wide and extended, much work in that field is still intact, and it is to be hoped and devoutly wished that the results of our labors in that field will ultimately be crowned with success. Among the many subjects in that field which should claim our earnest attention and consideration, none are of more interest and vital importance than that of "county drainage." From the beneficial effects arising from the proper application and development of county drainage, it involves the interest and prosperity of all the people of the State, of every grade and class. It rekindles, reanimates the fires of the patriot, who loves to see his country prosperous and happy; it appeals to the true iriiilanthropist, who is ever ready to extend the hand of charity and benevolence to his fellow man; it at once attracts the attention, excites the admiration and laudable ambition of the medical scientist, whose every thought, word and action are most cheerfully devoted to every means, plan and purpose, calculated te) improve and advance the general welfare, happiness and prosperity of the community in which he moves, as well as of the State at large. A . ..11. ^vuiuug wie\cij wtiiuiy iiiiuiy iit'iu ciuuui'ii to, none occupy a higher, liolier, nobler status than the medical scientist, the intelligent, skillful, scientific practitioner of medicine, lie alone devotes all his thoughts, cares and anxieties, his time and labor, to the well-being of those confiding in his skill as a physician, and in his honor as a gentleman. By night and by day, in heat orcold, in wet or dry weather, he holds himself in readiness to obey their calls during their afflictions, in many cases without a cent of compensation and much less gratitude, often falling a victim to the labors of his profession, leaving his family homeless and penniless, he sinks into his grave with much "i>ost mortem praise" bestowed upon him, but scarcely enough of this word's means to wrap his body in a winding sheet, and return it to its mother earth. At this day we see the medical profession of this State leaving their homes and their daily lucrative practice, meeting together to devise means and plans, not to advance their own selfish interests, but to obtain healthy, mental and physical enjoyment for the whole people, and it is from this source that this idea of county drainage arises. I regret that short time, and the want of a proper source from which to derive satisfactory information or data, upon which to basi this humble, though earnest report, renders it rather difficult for me to make the same correct and precise in all the details relative to the subject, as the importance of the same demands. Having no county maps of sullicient accuracy to learn the length and breadth of the creeks within the limits of York county, (I do not write of other counties, because 1 have not the record of them, from which to report,) I have been comi>elled to rely upon my own knowledge ot these creeks and rivulets, supported by the information derived from those who have lived upon or traversed the same from their origin to their termination, in the rivers bounding the county on the east and west. From information so obtained, and which 1 consider sufficiently exact for our purpose, 1 am enabled to report : That there are two hundred and twentyeight miles of creeks or rivulets in this county requiring draining, seven of these creeks lie on west and north west of the county, passing through an undulating country ; twelve lie on the eastern and southern side of the county, passing through Hat lands, slightly undulating. These nineteen creeks average twelve miles in length, the maximum being twenty-four miles, and the minimum five miles. The average breadth of the bottom along the same is about one-sixth of a mile, or two hundred and ninety yards. The number of square miles of these Hats or bottom lands along these creeks is forty-two, and the number of acres twenty-six thousand eight hundred and eighty, (20.880.) Now if we estimate forty bushels of corn per acre, which is considered a low estimate for such character of land, we will have from the 26,880 acres, (to be reclaimed by drainage) the very satisfactory amount of 1,075,200 bushels of solid corn, which at 81.25 per bushel, at this time, would place in the possession of our people the attractive little amount of St,204,<KM). The above number of bushels of corn distributed among the people next spring will confer untold blessings among hundreds of families, who now dread that approaching season The population of York comity as per last csnsus is 50,000. Now, allowing annually 15 bushels per capita, and we have the number of .muOO bushels of corn, with which to bread the'people of York county. If this amount be distributed from 1,075,200, which could be easily produced on these bottom lands, when thoroughly drained, we will have a clear surplus of G8-V200, bushels of corn, which at ?1.2"? per bushel would give the neat sum of s8.")(t,5U(i and if the amount so procured were equally divided among the people of York county today, it would not only pay their whole debt, but also make them independent corn princes. bidding defiance to the smoke houses and corn cribs in Ohio and Missouri. So much for tiie agricultural and financial benefit accruing to the people of the county from the consideration of the subject, and Unpractical application and development of the plans and means for perfecting the same. But, as the increase of agricultural products and an improved sanitary condition of tincounty is the necessary consequence of county drainage, they can not be conveniently separated in this report without ignoring one or the other, and it is more especially the sanitary condition of 1 lie county to which it is tinobject of this Board to direct their attention. The streams r .lining through the western portion of the county, which is quite broken in surface and undulating, do not present so much flat la .d exjiosed to over-flow with consequent lake;? and pools of stagnant water filled with decaying and decayed vegetable matter, as those 011 the eastern and southern portion of the county, and consequently we find by observation and practical experience that the ]>eople living upon, or a few miles from, said streams, do not suffer so much from malarial fumes as those 011 the eastern side of the county. O11 the eastern side of the county the bottom lands are so low and flat, and the surface so slightly undulating, that the overflows are extensive, and consequently water remains upon many hundred acres of these lands along these creeks, during the greater part of the winter and spring seasons. Theconsequenee is that we find malarial endemics existing much more extensively and presenting a more violent character than those cases 011 the western portion of the county, so violent that many cases of malarial fever on the eastern side prove fatal, and the convalescence of those who recover is very tedious and slow. The cause of this difference in the malignancy of these diseases in the two sections described as above depends upon the greater intensity of malarial poison and less ozone in the atmosphere of the one, than in the other. To illustrate the virulence and fatality of ; malarial fevers in the eastern side of this conn- : ty I would cite the case of one family, that of 1 Dr. White, now of this county, who informed 1 me that his ancestors settled 011 Waxhaw ] Creek, 111 an adjoining county?Lancaster, a 1 creek whose toi>ography is the same in cliarac- ' ter iis others 011 the Eastern side of York conn- < ;y ; that this settlement, numbering many persons, was made in 1743, and frorii the baneful effects of this malarial fever his brother ind himself were the only descendants left from that large settlement made long since. The experience of the past, in this and other countries, has proven most conclusively that skillful drainage of all flat lands in a malarious section of country, with proper cultivation of the same, can alone remove the source of malaria and thus ameliorate, if not nullify, its effects. Such then being the evidence of profit and health, such the inducement and reasons for untertaking this verv worthy, imi>ortant and highly beneficial work, the question arises, how can this work be accomplished ? It is a very trite, though true saying, that "where there is a will, there is a way." The will of the people on this subject should be expressed and declared through the Legislature by its enactments on this subject?the way is open through the prison doors of the Penitentiary where hundreds of convicts are confined and fed at the expense of the tax payers, whose labor in the completion of this grand and practically useful work could be made highly beneficial, both to local communities and the State at large. To carry out the proposed plan submitted in this report, I suggest that it would be advisable for this Board to api>oint a Committee to memorialize the Legislature 011 the subject. 1 close this report by saying that the malarial endemic which renders the lives of our people wretched, could be avoided by a thorough system of drainage as above recommended. Easy Way to Improve Soil.?A sandy soil is greatly improved by mixing clay with it. The clay renders it more retentive of moisturp and gasses, both of which promote the growth of plants. Clay soils are greatly benefited by the addition of sand.. The presence of sand in soils chiefly composed of clay makes it easier to work, whether the plow, cultivator, or hoe is employed. The roller will not crush a lump of hard, dry clay, but will completely break down one composed of a mixture of clay and sand. In fact, large lumps are not likely to be found in soils where there is a considerable amount of sand?neither will a hard crust be formed nor deep cracks open. Nearly pure sand or clay is united in the growth of valuable plants, but by combining the two the foundation of a most excellent soil may be formed. It is not uncommon for one part of a farm to abound in clay and another sand. When this is the case an effort should be made to combine the two. Sand often lies on hills and ridges situated above the deposits of clav, and when this occurs the former can be easily carried on to the latter by the use of the scraper. To carry the clay to the sand it will be necessary to employ a wagon. Two pieces of land, one composed of sand and the other of clay, may be so situated that a cart or wagon can be advantageously employed in carrying both. When this is done, a load of sand can be taken to clay land, and a load of clay brought back. The condition of clay land is greatly improved by combining with it any substance that will serve to render and keep it light. Cornstalks, saw-dust, spent tan-bark, and vegetable rubbish of peat and swamp muck, are valuable to apply to either clay or sand, and can generally be cheaply obtained.?CourierJournal. I How Ciiildken take Colds.?A writer (a mother) has the following sensible words on the subject of the fashionable clothing put on children, now-a-days. It is from the Rural Xcw Yorker : ''Another mother declares that her children always have "colds" from October until June. She dresses them daintily, in apparel both fine and costly, in sealskin coats, muffs, tippets and tilings of such ilk. Their frocks are worn very short, their drawers are of finest cambric, and their only "under flannel" consists of a fine and dainty knitted shirt, so that while the upper portion of the body is well and over protected in a sealskin garment, the lower part is very shabbily clothed so far as warmth goes. The cold scurries up the poorly clad legs, which the short petticoats?handsomely embroidered?fail to protect. With the clothing of the body so unevenly distributed, is it any wonder that the children always have colds V" A good woolen undergarment, cut to fit the body, arms, legs and all, and worn next to the skin, would do more for the welfare of the children than all the sealskin coats, feathered hats and ornamented toggery in the universe. There is something atrocious in sacrificing a child's health to finery, or in being so ignorant and careless as not to know that it is being so sacrificed." Fux as a Moral Force.?Fun is as distinct a moral force as prayer. A good hearty, healthy laugh will clear the cobwebs out of the brain, renew the blood, tone the nerves, and drive all thought of committing flagrant wrong from the mind. It banishes worrying cares, and knits humanity in common kindred. Every missionary enterprise ought to provide amusement. Preaching services, praymeetings, Sunday schools, philanthropic organizations, and even charity well bestowed get no closer to the hearts of the humble than do those who induce them to steal an hour away from exacting toil to recuperate their energies and renew their moral vigor by rational enjoyment. This done, and the work of getting in communion with them is complete. Laugh with those who weep, and see if by contributing to their mirth you cannot cause them to forget sorrow and to stop thinking of the battle of life long enough to realize that men and "women were made to be invigorated by fun, morally, mentally and physically. ? (loon IIumok.?Surely nothing can be more unreasonable than to lose the will to please, when we are conscious of the power, or show more cruelty than to choose any kind of influence before that of kindness and good humor. lie that regards the welfare of others should make his virtue approachable, that it may be loved and copied ; and he that considers the want which every man feels, or will feel, of external assistance, must rather wish to be surrounded by those that love him, than by those that admire his excellencies or solicit his#favors ; for admiration ceases with novelty, and interest gains its ends and retires. A man whose great qualities want the ornament of superficial attractions is like a naked mountain with mines of gold, which will be frequented only till the treasure is exhausted. Education ok "Women.?Keep as much as possible in the grand and common road of life : patent educations or habits seldom succeed. Depend upon it, men set more value on the cultivated minds than 011 the accomplishments of women, which they are really able to appreciate. It is a common error that literature unfits women for the every-day business of life. It is not so With men; you see those ot the most cultivated minds constantly devoting their time and attention to the most homely objects. Literature gives woman a real and proi>er weight in society, but they must use it with discretion. If the stocking is blue, the petticoat must be long, as my friend Jeffrey says the want of this has furnished food for ridicule in all ages.?Sydney Smith, Lime Water and Milk.?Experience proves that lime water and milk are not onlyfood and medicine at an early period of life, but also at a later, when the functions of digestion and assimilation are feeble and easily perverted. A stomach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise unfitted for its duties?as is shown by the various symptoms attending upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysintery, and fever?will resume its work, and do it energetically, on an exclusive diet of bread and milk and lime water. A bowl of cow's milk may have four tablespoonfuls of lime water to it with good effect. IIow to Plant Trees and Smtuiis.? Young tree and shrubs?such as rose bushes? if received from a distant nursery and appear dry and withered, should be treated as follows: Dig a trench in the ground just as long as the trees or shrubs and roots, and lay them down in this ; cover with a little dirt, pour on a pail of water, and then cover all over with six inches of earth. In forty eight hours the buds will be swelled out full, and you can then plant them out. This was the method recommended by the lamented Downing, and we have found it to succeed perfectly.? Scientijic American. fgf" By the carelessness of a brakeman, two trains collided near Spuyten Duyvil, 011 the New York Central Railroad, last Friday, and several passengers were killed and others seriously wounded. Among the killed were a newly married couple, whose funeral was preached 011 Monday by the same minister who married them on the Thursday preceding. Die brakeman whose carelessness caused the lisaster, was arrested. 1 fUadiiig fot the OONDUOTKD BY IllsV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original J PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. Parents rarely consider the vast responsibility which rests upon them. Nine-tenths of the vagabonds which infest society, were made < vagabonds by their parents. We need not stop to inquire how it was done. It is enough to know tluit it is a fact. On the other hand, all, or nearly all, great and good men trace all their greatness and goodness, under God, to the training they received at home, from their father or mother, or from both. To the child there is no one like its parents. In the child's eyes, its parents have no faults. Children may forget the lessons they learn in school, but never will they forget the lessons they learn from the example of their parents. John Newton forgot everything but the prayers his mother taught him, when he was a mere child. These he never forgot. They were lixed in his memory. Pious parents generally have pious children. When this is not the case, it is an evidence that they have not been faithful in the discharge of their duties as parents. It is true, that there are exceptions to this general rule, but the exceptions are not as many as most persons suppose. There are few persons in the church, whose parents were not professed Christians, and there are not many notorious neglectors of religion whose parents were pious. By a law of our nature, children are like their parents in every particular. They inherit the dispositions of their parents and they imitate their example. One would suppose that the sons of drunken fathers would grow up with an unconquerable disgust for strong drink. Such, however, is rarely the case. Generally a drunken father raises drunken sons. The same is true in respect to many other vices. To this rule there are also some exceptions, but they are not many. No one will contend that parents can, of themselves, convert their children. They cannot give them grace. They cannot change their hearts. Neither, on the other hand, can parents prevent God's Iloly Spirit from converting their children. It is vain for parents to neglect the moral training of their children because they cannot give them grace. As well might the farmer say, "I cannot make it rain, and I cannot make corn without rain ; therefore, I will do nothing. I will not plant, because I cannot give the increase. This is God's work and I will turn everything else over to him." Such reasoning would indicate insanity, and ought to consign him who employs it to an insane asylum, or to a work house. The future of the Church and of the State is largely dependent upon the manner in which parents discharge their duties. In the family may be seen the Church and State in miniature. "Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall," is certainly good advice, but unfortunately, there are not many persons who think they need it. We all have an exalted opinion of ourselves. Whoever may be weak or short sighted, we regard ourselves as strong and provident. This is our weakness, and this is the point that the wicked one always attacks. Whoever thinks he is able, unaided, to with staiia me tempiauons ui oaian is a pour, amy fool. , gagr One among the many evidences of genuine piety is a disposition to live in peace with all men. The devil delights in broils, and so does all his followers. Jesus Christ delights in peace. He came into the world and died to make peace between an offended God and offending sinners. All his followers seek peace, and pursue it earnestly. 6^ Balaam gave utterance to the common sentiment of the human family when he said, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his." All men may be said to desire to be saved, but all are not willing to be saved by God. A great many are determined to risk their all in a desperate effort to save themselves. Faith in Prayer.?A little girl in a wretched attic, whose sick mother had no bread, knelt down by the bed-side and said slowly, "Give us this day our daily bread." Then she went into the street and began to wonder where God kept his bread. She turned round the corner and saw a large, well-filled baker's shop. "This." thought Nettie, "is the place;" so she entered confidently, and said to the big baker: "I've come for it." "Come for what ?" "My daily bread," she said, pointing to the tempting loaves. "I'll take two, if you please; one for mother and one for me." "All right!" said the baker, putting them into a bag, and giving them to his little customer, who at once started for the street. "Stop, you little rogue 1" he said roughly ; "where is your money ?" "I haven't any," she said simply. "Haven't any," he repeated angrily ; "you little thief, what brought you here, then ?" The hard words frightened the little girl, who, bursting into tears, said, "Mother is sick and I am hungry. In my prayers I said, 'Give us this day our daily bread,'and then I thought God meant me to fetch it, and so I came." The rough, but kind-hearted baker, was softened by the child's simple tale, and he sent her back to her mother with a well-filled basket. Three Impossible Things.?(1) To escape [ trouble by running away from duty. Jonah once made the'experiment, but did not succeed. Therefore, manfully meet and overcome the difficulties and trials to which the post assigned you by God's providence exposes you. (2) To become a Christian of strength and maturity without undergoing severe trials. What fire is to gold, such is affliction to the believer. It burns up the dross and makes the gold shine forth with unalloyed lustre. (3)To form an independent character except when thrown on one's own resources. The oak in the middle of the forest, surrounded on all sides by the trees that shelter and shade it, runs up tall and comparatively feeble ; cut away its protectors, and the first blast will over turn it. But the same tree, growing in the open field, where it is continually beaten upon by the tempest, becomes its own protector. So the man who is compelled to rely on his own resources forms an independence of character which, lie could not otherwise have obtained. The Most Alarming Sin.?"If I were called on to point out," says Dr. Crosby, "the most alarming sins to-day?those which are most deceitful in their influence, and most soul-destroying in their intimate effects?I would not mention drunkenness with all its fearful havoc, nor gambling with its crazed victims, nor harlotry with its hellish orgies; but the love of money on the part of men, and the love of display on the part of women. While open vice sends its thousands, these fashionable and favored indulgences send their ten thousands to perdition. They sear the conscience, incrust the soul with an impenetrable shell of worldliness, debauch the affections from every high and heavenly object, and make man or woman the worshiper of self. While doing all this, the poor victim is allowed by public opinion to think himself or herself a Christian ; while the gambler or the prostitute is not deceived by such a thought for a moment." People think they can hide themselves from their fellows. They forget that no Frenchplate mirror ever reflected the outside man as faithfully as our conduct does the man within. The snappish tone ; the surly words ;t he waspish si>eech ; the fox-like suspiciousness ; the lamb-like gentleness; and the good returned for the evil done to, or said about us, reveal what spirit is at work in the place of authority within. After all, there is nothing that , tells what a man is half so effectively as what he does?i. e., what he is in the habit of doing! THE YORKYILLE ENQUIRER. PROSPECTUS FOR 1882.
