"Have you been swindled again ?" asked
the Captain.

Legal Wit.?In a recent land case in
Washington, Judge Wilson said in his brief:
"Liora uacon nas wisely ana ixuiy wrmeu
'the letter killeth, but the spirit maketh
alive.' " This gave General Cole, the opposing
counsel, a chance to make a point,
and he opened his brief as follows: "The
claimant's counsel in this case is either
grossly ignorant of the law or has broken
nisoath as an attorney, for he does not know
that Lord Bacon dia not write the second
epistle to the Corinthians or he is trying to
mislead the Interior Department by falsehood
and deceit by quoting the Apostle Paul
as good authority in land cases. When the
great apostle wrote to the people of Corinth,
rThe letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life,'
he had no reference to timber culture cases,
and in fact the Act entitled 'An Act to encourage
the growth of timber in Western
prairies' had not become a law in A. D. 60,
nor did not . become a law until 1800 years
later, so it is clearly to be seen that the
language quoted is not in point. There is
one thing in his argument also that is to be
regretted, and that is the charge of plagarism
against the great Lord Chancellor of England.
Bacon has been charged with being
the author of the plays commonly credited
to Shakspeare, ana also with corruption in
office, but this new thrust of literary piracy
is extremely unjust,coming at this late date
from a member of the Minnesota bar."?Atlanta

door opened, "but do I address the lady of

"No, sir, replied the girl, as her face melted
a little; "I am the housekeeper."
"Um. She is out then?"
"Yes, sir?gone to the skating rink."
"And the gentleman ?" J
"He's gone off to a raffle." \
"Um. Any daughters ?"

"Well, I'm taking in orders for the Fami- J

LIME AS A FERTILIZER.
Lime is one of our indispensable fertili-!
zers, and, fortunately, is one of the inost !
abundant minerals. While it is a mineral, |
it is doubtless of organic origin. Its forma- j
tion is going on under our observation every j
moment. Vast beds of limestone rock are
forming in the ocean continually and the
vast work is accomplished by the most
insignificant individual agency. And this

time. Limestone has been formed in great
mountain masses by the slow operation of
very minute animals, known as infusoria1.
Ehrenberg, a German student and scientific
investigator, was the discoverer of the manner
of the formation of chalk, which is carbonate
of lime, and of which thousands of
miles of the earth's rocky crusts consist.
He found it to be made up'of the skeletons
of infusorial animalculte, and that one cubicinch
of it contained the remains of 40,000,000
of these creatures. The solid limestone
and the fine marbles are all of this character,
but crystallized by heat and pressure during
the slow changes by which the earth
has acquired its present form, while the
great beds of soft chalk are of more modern
structure, and indeed are even now in course |
of deposit in the dark depths of the ocean, j
In other places the coral insect is building
up great reefs and cliffs which form islands |
of solid limestone, and our own Florida has
been, in great, part thus raised from an
ocean bed by its agency, weak in its indi- ;
viduality, but able to change the geographical
features of a great continent and to fill
up great seas in its aggregate power. And
the Florida farmer, or the farmer everywhere,
in fact, who burns lime for his fields
from the corralline rocks, or the limestone
filled with shells, such as that over which
the great Niagara plunges, is turning to his
own benefit and uses the silent labors of
insignificant creatures which lived and
worked in ages so far back that we cannot
r?nnr?pivp nf their distance, and can onlv 1
measure them by figures, which we may
contemplate only with hopeless failure to
realize their full meaning intelligently.
But we can gather from the contemplation
the interesting fact that the world was evidently
made for man, and that every creature,
and the work, and purpose, and labor
of every creature, seem to have existed for
the benefit, the use, and gratification of
mankind and for our more complete development;
for the preparation and utilization
of all these products of ages of organic life
are but means to develop human itelligence
and skill. And not the least of this development
is found in the pursuit of intelligent
and skilful agriculture, helped to a
great extent by these useful and indispensable
products. For certainly it can be easily
realized by a thoughtful person how great
an advance has been made in the social and
material condition of mankind by the more
perfect and productive labors of the husbandman
which have been made possible
by these useful aids.
Horse Physiognomy.?A horse's head
indicates his character very much as ainan's
does. Vice is shown in the eye and mouth;
intelligence in the eyeand in the breadth between
the ears and between the eyes; spirit
in the eye and in the pose, in the mobile nostril
and in the active ear. The size of the eye,
the thinness of the skin, making the face
bony, the large, open, thin-edged nostril,
the fine ear, and the thin fine mane and
high foretop are indications of high breedingand
accompany a high-strung nerve, nervous
organization, which, with good limbs
and muscular power, insures a considerable J
rlegree of speed in the animal. The stupidly
lazy horse that drivers call a "lunkhead,"
has a dull eye usually, a narrow
forehead, and contracted poll. Heisalways
i blunderer, forgets himself, and stumbles
3n smooth ground, gets himself and his 1
Dwner into difficulties, balks himself, is
sometimes positively lazy, but often a hard
a:oer. He needs constant care and watchFulness
on the driver's part. A buyer of 1
equine flesh should be able to detect the good
And bad qualities of the animal he contem- 1
plates purchasing. This valuable knowl- 1
edge is only acquired byaeareful study of
the various parts of horse physiognomy.? 1

at breakfast with coarse bread and
butter,'without meat or flesh of any kind,
it has an admirable effect upon the general
system, often removing constipation, correcting
acidities and cooling off febrile conditions
more effectually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be induced
to substitute them for pies, cakes and
sweetmeats, with which they are frequently
stuffed,there would beadiminution in the
total sum of doctor's bills in a single year
suflicient to lay in a stock of this delicious
fruit for the whole season's use.
First class butter cannot be made from
cream which has been taken from sour and
coagulated milk. The highest development
of flavor is found when the cream has arrived
at that stage when it first begins to j
put on an acid condition. If the acid is allowed
to develop further, the flavor will
be impaired, and the butter will be of inferior
quality. The only way to secure
these conditions is to remove the cream before
the milk sours, and then ripen it to the 1
desired condition. The milk should he set
under a temperature where it will remain
sweet till the cream lias time to rise. In
successful dairying of any kind, and especially
in butter-rnaking, the temperature of
the milk must be under control.
BSaT When fowls lay eggs that have shells
deficient in thickness it shows that there is.
lack of lime in the feed. Heavy fowls that
do not ramble much and are fed mainly on !
corn are most liable to this difficulty. A I
suppply of lime in any form given at such
times will be greedily eaten. So will crush- <
ed egg-shells. It is a good plan to crush i
and feed the shells of all eggs used in the 1
house. The hens will eat them, but roosters <
will not. Unless egg-shells are crushed be- |:

also pin around the throat a strip of woolen i

SQrThe unprofitable trees in an orchard,: i

NO REASON FOR THEIR FEAR.
The announcement of a mass meeting of
colored citizens to consider the present political
condition in relation to the interests
of their race attracted a goodly number of
colored men and women to Chickering Hall
last evening. About one-half of the seats
were occupied when the meeting was called
to order and George \V. ltice chosen Chairman.
The Rev. W.'B. Derrick, pastor of the Sullivan
street church, spoke first and stated
that the object of the meeting, in more definite
terms was, to show the people of the
South that there was no need of disfranchisement
because the Democrats were in
power. There was a seeming restlessness
in the South, he said, and an apprehension
that the black man would be deprived of
the rights of citizenship, hut it emanated
from the lowest class. The better class of
colored men knew more than to believe
that. The American citizen, black or white,
was as secure in his citizenship and as firm
in its position as the granite hills of New
England. Locally speaking, Mr. ])errick
thought there might be apprehension, but
it was only from the lower class of whites.
The black men in New York knew there
was no danger to lie feared from Cleveland's J
election. Mr. Derrick said the meeting was
held in New York because it would carry
more weight with it. If the black men in.
New York did not fear trouble those in the'
South would not.
The speaker then called attention to the
fact that the Democratic party of to-day
was not that of twenty years ago. It has
changed. It had put on new boots, a new
hat and a new coat?almost a new soul.
Then the party did not care for the black
man, but now it is found that a vote isa vote
whether cast by a black hand or a white.
A few black votes seasoned the pie and
made it nice. Mr. Derrick then said a few
words in nniise of Governor Cleveland,
calling attention to his letter on civil service.
He did not have fears of the new administration,
although he was st ill a staunch
Republican.
In conclusion, M Derrick advised his
Southern brethren .0 stop indulging in
fears, and to put an end to their silliness
about emigrating. The white and black
men were good enough friends when planting
cotton and drinking whisky. It was
only at the polls that the trouble came. !
They should remain where they were, plow
their fields, be industrious, and, above all,
educate their children. Intelligence in the
end would conquer.
Resolutions were then read by J. S. Arneaux
and adopted by the audience, the purport
of which was that it was demanded of
the new Administration that the rights of
citizens as stated in the Constitution be rendered
them, and that help be extended in
getting rid of their political serfdom and
overcoming of their social ostracism. Algernon
S. Sullivan, who was introduced as
a War Democrat, also spoke. He said that
there was nothing in the aspect of the new
Administration to give a particle of fear to
the colored men. Mr. Sullivan predicted a
brilliant Administration by Grover Cleveland,
and believed that it would result to
the betterment of the colored men. The
new President would be a second Lincoln.
The meeting was closed with an address
by Samuel R. Randall.?New York limes.
Influence of the Small States.?In
electoral votes the small states count for
little beside suoh great commonwealths as
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In
Congress they stand in a similar attitude.
Test of strength and apportionments of influence
based on mere numbers of population
leave States like ours to cut but a small
figure in the republic. Yet there is one
legislative body in which each State is the
equal of every other; that is the Senate,
which is made up by States and not by population,
and where Rhode Island or Delaware
is constitutionally equal to New York
or Texas, or any other great member of the
Union. Standing in this way equal the
States have the same opportunity, and the
question of their influence depends largely
upon the men whom they select as their
exponents there.
In looking over the roll of the Senate,
with the date of the beginning of each Senator's
term, it is interesting to see how intelligently
some of the small States have
maintained their prominence in that body
by sending over and over again the same
men to represent them there, each year adding
its wealth of experience, acquaintance
and knowledge to their fitness and their influence.
The smallest three States east of
the Rocky Mountains are Rhode Island,
Delaware and Vermont. Rhode Island
sent Henry 13. Anthony to the Senate in
1809, and kept him there until his death.
Delaware sent Thomas F. Bayard there in
March, 1869, and Eli Saulsbury in March,
1871, and they are both there still. Vermont
sent George F. Edmunds there in
April, 1869, and Justin S. Morrill, in March,
1867. There they still are, and nobody can
to-day name over the leaders of either party
in the Senate without bringing in the
"insignificant" States whose vote in the
electoral college is so slight that often the
figures only express contempt for it.?Hartford

Mk. Bkeciikr's Vindication.?The remarks
of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in
Plymouth Church, at the conclusion of his
Sunday morning sermon, in which he indulged
in a vindication of his course in the
late presidential canvass, are considered by
New York papers to have had a decided effect
on many of those who have been recently
quoted as being disaffected toward the
Brooklyn pastor, because of his support of
Governor Cleveland. Many of the most
prominent of those alleged to have been
"disaffected" were conspicuous in applauding
Mr. Beecher, and at the conclusion of
his remarks were the most prominent in
shaking him by the hand and extending
their congratulations.
During his remarks Mr. Beecher explained
that his objection to the .Republican party
during the presidential campaign was
that "after its splendid record in the conduct
of the war, and in re-establishing the Union,
it failed to crown itself with the last blossoming
honor" by holding out the olive
branch to the South. ()n this point he said:
"As God is my witness I would have shed
tears of the profoundest joy if in the Republican
platform there had been even a
suggestion of a welcome to the South, or if
ane of the Republican candidates had been
ii Southern man. Then 1 could have said
that the party had planted and matured
seed, and was wise enough to pluck the
blossom. But the things i wanted were not.
Then, with convictions as deep as any I
have ever had in my life, and after grave
consideration and some doubts, 1 went into
the canvass."
Early Cahi> Fiwuks.?The habit of
card playing must have been much con tinned
and extended in England by the marriage
of Phillip, of Spain, with Queen Mary,
whose numerous and splendid retinue
could not but bring with them that passionlite
love of cards which prevailed at the
Spanish court. It seems probable that the
cards then used (whatever they might have
been before) were of Spanish origin, form
and figure, in compliment to the imperious
Phillip; since even to this day the names
of two Spanish suits are retained on English
cards, though without any reference
to their present figure. Thus one suit is
called spades, from the Spanish, e.yxulo,
sword, although no similituue 01 me sworn i
is retained in the figure, and another clubs? !

WAIT ON THE LORD.
Those who have not examined into the
subject will be astonished how frequently,
in the Scriptures, believers are admon-1
ished "To wait on the Lord." The pas- j
sages are too numerous to be quoted. Sometimes
we find in the Scriptures God's faith-,
ful servants making declarations like the
following: "I will wait on the Lord." i
Such declarations are indicative of piety in
great activity and highly'developed.
The first question which suggests itself to
the mind is, "What is meant by waiting on j
the Lord."
To this it is replied, that waiting on the
Lord is a particular aspect of faith. Per- j
haps it would be better to say, "Waiting on
the Lord" is one of the outgrowths of faith,
and is an unmistakable sign of true faith.
No one single word in the English language
is capable of expressing all that is contained
in the word faith, as it is used in the .Scriptures.
The word which comes nearest being
an equivalent for faith is believing, but this j
does not embrace the whole of faith. Ilence !
the best human definition that has ever, j
perhaps, been given of faith in Jesus Christ i
is, that it is "asaving grace, whereby we re- j
ceive and rest upon him (Jesus Christ) alone
for salvation, as he is offered to us in the
gospel." According to this definition, which
is rigidly Scriptural, faith in Jesus Christ I
consists in receiving-AJeans Christ alone for j
salvation, in resting in him alone for salva-!
tion, and both receiving him and resting I
upon him in a manner which is according to j
the gospel. Waiting on the Lord, and resting
in the Lord, are different modes of exfiressing
the same thing. To rest in the
jord means the same thing as to wait on the !
Lord.
This is not, by any means, a definition of I
what is meant by waiting on the Lord. In
the Scriptures, Jesus Christ is offered freely,
fully and in good faith to all. He is offered
as a* redeemer to rescue from the curse of a
violated law, to take away the guilt of sin
and also to purge and purify from the moral
filth of sin. Every sinner on the face of the
broad earth is anxious to escape the curse of
a violated law, and did receiving Jesus
Christ include nothing more than this, the !
whole race would believe in Jesus Christ so j
soon as he is offered to them. When, how- j
ever, it is learned that receiving Jesus:
Christ includes the accepting of him to take ;
away from us the love of sin, and to free us j
from the dominion of sin, the natural man j
draws back, because be really does notaesire
to pet rid of his sins. All that he desires is
to be redeemed from the consequences of sin.
lie loves sin. He rolls it as a sweet morsel
under his tongue. The service of the devil
is his heart's delight. Nothing but the influences
of the Holy Spirit can induce any
of the human family to receive Jesus Christ,
in order that he may cease to sin and learn
to do well.
Waiting on the Lord is that peculiar outgrowth
of faith whereby the individual
who does it commits himself and all that he
has into the hands of the Lord to be managed.
In other words, the individual who
waits on the Lord does his duty?does what
God in his word commands to be done, and
refrains from doing what God in his word
forbids to be done, and leaves the results,
or consequences, all in the hands of God.
A relationship which exists between God
and all believers is that he is their owner
and they are his slaves. Not simply his
creatures?not hirelings, but slaves?bought
slaves. This is the most important of all
the relationships which exist between God
and any of the human family. It is the
foundation of all the other grand and glorious
relationships. This is the foundation
of that inheritance which God has in believers.
They are his slaves. He bought
them, not with silver or gold, but with the
precious blood of his own Son. Now it is
the prerogative of the master to command
and the duty of the slave to obey. It is the
prerogative of the master to command what
the slave shall do, and the manner in which
the thing commanded shall be done. It is
the duty of the slave to obey the master implicitly.
More than this. It is the duty of
the slave to leave all results in the hands of
the master. If he is faithful in doing what
he is commanded to do, and executes all
commands in the manner prescribed, he is
not accountable for any results, no matter
what may be the diameter of the results.
Believers, according to the Scriptures, are
bought with the blood of Jesus Christ, and
so constitute God's inheritance, and they are
adopted into the family of God's children,
and made heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, and Saviour of sinners.
To wait on the. Lord, it is inferred, is
to patiently submit to be; done with and done
by as the Lord in his infinite wisdom sees
fit.
A moment's reflection will convince any
sober-minded Christian that the grace of
waiting on the Lord is more to be desired
than much fine gold. A moment's reflection
on this subject will beget thoughts that
or/? oL-in to ilonhtimr the ronlit.v of the OY
istence of grace in the soul. One of the results
of justifying faith is that it is always
accompanied by waiting on the Lord.
Waiting on the Lord is the evidence?not
the only evidence?but the best evidence of
justification. It may be added, where there
is no waiting on the Lord there is no justification.
There is something in this subject which
is calculated to beget gloomy apprehensions
in the minds of perhaps a large minority of
professed Christians. And well it may. * In
reality, they have only formally given'themselves
to Christ. A spirit of rebellion reigns
in them and over them. They have a name
to live, but they are, in reality, dead in
trespasses andsins. They are in the church,
but they have not a particle of true faith in
their hearts. To wait patiently on the Lord
is something they do not desire to do, nor
will they try to do. To them the results of
God's providence are acceptable when these
results are in accordance with the desires of
their corrupt hearts; when these results are
otherwise, they are as furious as a bear
robbed of her whelps.
To the most godly of the human family,
there is something in this subject which is
calculated to beget within the heart the
deepest humility. If any individual isan.x- j
ious to learn how 1 ittle?jn(it how much? I
genuine piety there is in nissoul, he has but j
to sit down and make a correct estimate of
how long and how patiently he is prepared
to wait on the Lord without a murmur.
The individual who will seriously make
such an estimate will most likely be startled
and nearly conclude lie is still in the bond
of iniquity.
That the true believer may not be needlessly
discouraged it should be remembered,
that however desirable the grace of waiting
on the Lord implicitly, may be, it is rarely, |
if ever in this life, fully enjoyed by any.
To be able at all times, and under all cir-1
cmnstances. to wait on the Lord has never \
yet been fully attained. Abraham was will-1
"ing to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice, but unwilling
to trust his own life in the hands of j
God. lie prevailed upon Sarah, his wife,
to pass him off as her brother, and he him-1
self reported that Sarah was his sister. Da- j
vidsaidin his heart, I shall now perish one |
day by the hand of Saul. Absolute perfec- j
tio'n does not exist here on earth. There is
110 man that liveth and sinneth not. While I
it is true that complete resignation to the!
will of God is an attainment which none
make, it is the duty of all to strive to make
the attainment. The history of the Church
presents some wonderful examples of patiently
waiting on the Lord. Paul gives a
long iist in his epistle to the Hebrews, and
the list might be increased almost indefi- j
nitely.
Perhaps it is waiting on the Lord that
more than anything else distinguishes the
true believer from the formal professor. It
is by waiting on the Lord that we are with
certainty, if not with comfort, to measure
our piety.
Givk jMkGkack.?A poor man in Fife,
before eating, asked a blessing in these
weighty words, which were found, after the
Duchess of Gordon's death, written on a
slip of paper in her hand : "Lord, give me
grace to feel my need of grace; and give me
grace to ask for grace ; and give me grace
to receive grace ; and, O Lord, when grace
is given, give me grace to use it. Amen."

Two More Important Cases.
Your agent being in Columbus, Ga., a few days ago, and meeting
the venerable brother J. H. Campbell, we asked him for the
news. His reply was: "I have two more important cures,
effected hy Swift's Specific, to report."' Tills venerable man is
known far and wide for his unremitting labors of love in behalf
of the poor of Columbus. It will be remembered that the
Swill Specific Company have donated nuite an amount of their
famous medicine, to be distributed by Mr. Campbell among the
poor of the city; hence his remark. He said :
"I have just seen a lady who has been greatly annoyed by a |
Tetter in one of her hands. It has given her much trouble
and pain. She said she had been treated hy several physicians
during the past three or four years with the old remedies, but
(fit/in? ?nv relief. I suggested Swift's Specific, and she
took tour bottles and is now apparently perfectly well. Her
band issmooth and not n single sign of the disease left. It Is
marvelous howthls medicine renovates the system."
' What about the other case?"
"Well, that was a lady also. She had been affected with the
eczema for four years. Her face, hands nnd arms, as well as her
body was covered over with sores and scabs. Ft was one of
the worst cases of this terrible disease that f had ever seen.
The suffering of the poor creature was beyond expression.
She tried every remedy at command, including mercury and
iodide of potash, but she only grew worse. She was in this
condition when I first saw the case. 1 soon had her taking
Swift's Specific, and she has now only taken two bottles,
hut every mark of the disease has almost entirely disappeared.
Her strength and general health have greatly improved. It is
one of the most remarkable cures that has come under my observation."
"Mr. Campbell, you have had a long and varied experience
in mingling with men, and observing their afflictions nnd the
remedies used?what is your opinion as to the merits of Swift's
Specific ?"
"In a ministry of sixty years I have mingled with every class |
of society and have observed closely the variety of diseases
which atiliet humanity. Blood diseases are the most numerous
nnd the most difficult lo remove. It is my deliberate judgment
that Swift's Specific is the grandest blood purifier ever discovered.
There is nothing comparable to it. There is nothing too
good to say about Swift's Specific."
