It is a serious question that teachers should ask themselves, why is it that stu? dents ever wish to absent themselves from religious exercises ? There is a fi t ness in devotional forms that are devo tional, bat there is no'fitness in a per? functory going through with unmeaning ceremonials that are like apples of So? dom. ThelienBfit* that follow from* real worship are beyond all human computa? tion^ "God -is '???pirtt-and they -that^ worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.4',?-J?here there'is spirit" and life there Ji Atjfiractive.force*- We are repelled Mrn^deaa--fhib'gs-, !a'nd in? stinctively want to get away from them. The spiritual worship of the Supreme Being is alyoys, attractive.; iWO-are-bw natura^ofempafoi, ia^d? wherever Hrae^ worship is found the soul is drawn toward it by an inward force, because it. satisfies a wont. The school should satisfy all the wants of tbe,fir?wjognatnre,, Nos^hpcfcl is a true one thatdoes' not do this. Is this sectarian? Then'are the longings of the child, sectarian;; tb en are: oar bet ter instiucts sectarian. Seek for, true worship and present it in all its most beautiful and^ractive forms to children. It is riot onlyVsin, but a crime, to de? prive our schools of the best worship possible; . That.mnn's heart must be a very lock; who-can say that we should not give our children the best that God Has given,to Teachcra> Institute During an entire school-year thousands of teachers have been trying to make a pleasure of duty, but when vacation comes they should try tc make a duty of Sleasure and recreation; A change of iet is good for both body and mind, a little judicious irregularity, conducive to health, and a change of habits, diet, hours, and: surroundings, essential to happiness;/ Our Saxon and Puritan an? cestors considered pleasure of satanic origin. They applied themselves with grim earnestness to the work of the world, rarely giving themselves np to. harmless and hearty enjoyment, but we are learning better wisdom. - There is more joy on earth, to-day than ever be? fore, because there is more knowledge of [ what we need in order to grow "healthy, wealthy and wise." The world is clean? er, life is securer, locomotion cheaper and more rapid, and food more abundant. For these reasons enjoyment is more gen? eral, and for the same reasons this sum j mer vacation should be filled with genu I ine recreation and pleasure. If teachers are not re-created for a new year, it will; be. their own fault. Give burdens to the wind, let nature have her way, and live more like the flowers and grass, which exist for the use of man, yet while they are preparing, find time to grow fragrant and beautiful.?Teachers' Institute. The Use of. Tobacco. Cigars were not known until- about 1815. Previous to that time pipes were ,nsed exclusively.' Chewing had been in vogue to a limited extent lor some time, while snuffing dates back almost as far as smoking. The first package sent to Catherine de Medici was-in fine; powders. Sbe^found that smelling it in "the box affected her similarly to smoking, which led her to fill one of her smelling bottles with the dust. Her courtiers adopted the habit of ? snufhng-.small portions, of it up the nostrils, and as the precious snuff became more plentiful the snuffing habit became j more general, until at last a man or wo- ? man was not considered as in proper j form unless they;snuffed; The custom became so common in i England that a snuff-box was no longer a sign of rank.; -Then it, was the law -prohtbitrng-the-culture of the plant/ ex? cept for^medjeine^ was - passed. About I yy tariff was placed-I irjicle, thereby practi? cally placing it beyond the reach of the ^comm'on'irera"??a* giving royalty a com? plete monopoly. Since it first began, to. be used as a luxury there have been conflicting opin? ions in regard to its effects. The Romish -Church? once forbade its use, -and the Church of England declaimed against it. [ The^Wealeys opposed it hotly, and at one' tiroVitiwas.'considered so unclean as to unfit men for membership in the Metho? dist Church.; . Baptist and rPresbyterian ministers' preached against it and societies were j organized to oppose the spread of the I habit; but all to ho purpose. Parents j disowned and disinherited their children because they used it, and husbands di? vorced their wives on account, of. their having contracted the habit of smoking. It is singular that when women get into the habit of smoking a pipe they prefijra strong one. There are few men who have nerve to smoke a pipe such as [ a'woman likes when she has become a confirmed smoker. When they first be? gin puffing cigars they prefer them, yery [mild, but it' is not long dntU they want them black and strong and lots of them. \ -r-Piiisburg Dispatch. . Poisonous Pickles. The following statements which were published in the.New York Times a few weeks ago afford some interesting read? ing': ''The Health Commissioner of Brook? lyn held; a conference on 'Friday iast j with the men who are engaged in pickling cucumbers in that city. He discovered, ' it is said, that nearlyjall of them colored [their pickles. with a solution of copper. He gave them a warning, and then issu? ed an order forbidding the sale in Brook? lyn of pickles.colored in this way." This , shows the extent to which the coloring matter is used. The week after the conference was held a little girl who lived in Brooklyn was fatally poisoned by easting one of these pickles. - "An autopsy established the cause of death^b?yond ? d??bt.v Moreover, analy? sis proved that a'part of the pickle which the child had not eaten contained enough of the poison to kill a man." ' This shows the dangerous character of J the poieon employed to give the pickles their bright, green, color, Continuing, the Times aays-'of the manufacturera > ? "It;fias recently: beenjstatefl that they find their best' market in ^the South. Perhaps the commissioner hoped by means, of his recent order to confine their operations to Southern markets." . - The.Southern householder who desires to profit by the lesson taught in these paragraphs should avoid the pnrchase of picike thatari bright green in color. All such are poisonous, whether manufac? tured in Brooklyn or e'se where.

New York Oplam joints* NfcNv York, July 2.?The death of a man in a Chinese opium joint in this city yesterday suggests the prevalence of this terrible habit. It is not confined to the frequenters of these filthy dens, of which Police Superintendent Murray has prom ised to rid the city, but many victims of the habit, in its various forms of smok? ing, eating and hypodermic injection, are to be found in the very best society of New York. No one knows the extent of the evil; it cannot be expressed in statistics as drunkenness is. It can be carried on in secret for many years with? out even one's nearest friends being aware of the deadly habit till too late to arrest its progress. Every physician has on His list of patients an?mberof opium cases. The victims say they are being treated for "nervous trouble;" in fact they are under treatment for the opium habit. There are aeVcral "homes" in this mty/~udder,?the direction of physi? cians who make a specialty of the dis? ease, where men and women are sent by their friends to be cured of the habit. This is an evil that' is destroying more women in America than the public has any conception of. The wife of a prom? inent publisher in this city is said to be a hopeless case. Incidents without num? ber are related by physicians, without names, of course, to show how wide? spread is the opium habit. They give but little hope of-cure. Once let the horrible appetite fasten itself on the vie- | tim, and it is rare, indeed, that he can shake it off. Let him enter one of these | "homes," and under long and careful. treatment and nursing he will regain his healthy and apparently lose all desire for the drug. He may go onfc-again into the world and mingle in its affairs, but when; the first touch of pain racks the nerves the temptation to resort to the drug again is generally irresistible. It is a fact that the victims of the hibjpgenerally became first acquainted with' the drug in.its sev? eral forms by the prescription of a phy? sician. Dr. Meyrert, of this city, who [ has had wide experience in the treat? ment of those cases, has, in a pamphlet ] on the subject) earnestly^ cautioned phy? sicians to exercise great judgment in the use of the drug as a remedial agent, and | under no circumstances to acquaint the ' patient with what he is takiug,?Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun..

'.Who are yon ?" asked the B. B. B. Boom. "I am the old Anti-Potash Boom," was the sad reply, as the perspiration rolled down, and it leaned heavily on the B. B. B. Boom for support, "Don't lean on mo," said the B. B. B. Boom. "I may look strong, but I am quite young?only 14 months old, am growing rapidly, and am mighty weakiathc knees. I am doing the work which yon bare failed to do, although yon are 50 years old. You are old, and tough, and rich, and don't require a support. But what causes you to look so thin of late?" "Well, I hardly know" replied the Anti-Potash Boom. "My physicians tell me that my abilities have been over-rated, and that while trying to whip out all opposition by beast and brag, that I havo proven my inability. Old age Is also creep? ing on me?having fought near 50 years before any one/knew I was living?and now I am unable to Jierform feats that others are doing.

In fact I would not be without it for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as you will save its cost in labor in one year. M. A. COBB.

THE HALL SELF-FEEDING COTTON GIN, Manufactured at Sing Sing, N. Y., has given satisfaction wherever used. The Saws are made of the best imported steel. The saw shaft is the largest made. An examination of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore docs away with the expense of the revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the roll-box. Every one should examine the improvements in the Hall Gin made this year, especially the improvement in the Feeder.

Qct 2, 1884 12 whom everybody knows as tho successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that whllo a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Caps Horn, in tko early days of emigration to Cat* ifomia, bo learned that one of the oftlcors of tbo v0930i bad cored himself, during the voy* age, of au obstiuatc disease by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Siuco then Sir. Lelasd lias recommended Ayf.r's Sarsaparille in many similar cases, and bo has never yet benrd of its fall? uro to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. Lelami'.? farm laborers bruised bis leg. Owing to (lie bad etato of hlu blood, an ugly scrofulous Mvclllng or lamp appeared on the injured limb. Hor? rible itching of tbo skin, with bunting and darting pains through the lump, made lifo almost intolerable. Tbo leg became enor? mously enlarged, ami running ulcers form cd, discharging great quantities of extremely oifensivo matter. No treatment was of any avail until tbo man, by Mr. Leland'S direc? tion, was supplied with AVer's Sarsai'A rilla, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed tbo swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Air. Lei,axd bas personally used Ayer s Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success; and, after careful observation, declares that, in bis belief, there is no medicine in tbo world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disordors, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Soros, Eruptions, and all Iba various forms of blood diseases. Wo have Mr. lelas d'h permit ion to invite all who may desire further evidenco in regard to tbo extraordinary curative powers of AVER'S Saes.u'ahi lla to sec him person? ally either at bis mammoth Ocean Hohl, Long Branch,or at the popular I.elaml ll?to!, Broadway', 27th and 28th Streets, Kew York. Mr. LelajiD's extensive, knowledge of tlto good dono by this unequalled oradlcator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirer < much valuable information. ratpAttED nv Dp. J.C.
