It cures even after other preparations fail. Hantf. uud ONLY MOOD’S. The revival now being conducted at the Baptist church by Rev. P. (L Kl- son, of Fincastle, Ya.. gives promise of being one of the best ever held in the city. Lu r ge crowds attend every service and at night there is standing room only. Mr. El son is a most pro gressive preacher and is up to dale in every respect, lie believes it is as essential to advertise in the cause of religion us well as any other. With that end in view lie had several large cards printed and posted in promi nent places about the city. He has had a quantity of small cards printed and the ushers give them to the con gregation. These cards bear an ear nest invitation to come and take part in the meetings. Mr Elson is an agreeable speaker. l.ast night he spoke on the one theme that reaches men’s hearts quicker than any other—that of love—broth erly love, lie impresses one with his earnestness. Pol lowing is a synop sis of his discourse Iasi night: John: 13, 34—“Anew command ment I give unto you that ye love one another; even us I have loved vou, that ye also love one another.” The commandments do not end with the ten given amid smoke and tire and trumpet sound on Mt. Sinai. This new command of Christ of brotherly love is as binding on us as ihe ten. In a word, Jove is the ful fillment of the law. I. Brotherly love is a command of Jesus Christ.—Ue calls it so: “A new commandment 1 give unto you.” It comes from the court of Heaven and is signed by Jesus Christ. If the soldiers of Miltiades on the plains of Marathon obeyed their leader wo should ours who is greater than He. ' v hen we were lost Christ said to us. “How thou hast fallen, Lucifer, thou day-star of the morning,” fallen into sentence of hell, but He rescued us and we ought to obey such a com mander. If all the Christians loved one another as Joseph did his breth ren when even ttiey sold him into a foreign land, we would have Heaven on earth. This word “as” in the text is a strong word. “As” 1 have loved you. It lells us we are to love one another with that degree of love that Christ has loved us. “As.” Let the Saviour’s tired feet, agony in Gethsemane and death on Calvary tell you v. hat that word means. “As” I have loyad you so ye also love one another. What shall sepaiate us from one another united by this love? Fueds and dijliculties and factions shouli) nof eiM^t among Christians. Christ's love lifts us above these things. II, Brotherly love is a test of re generation.—We can toll whether we are saved or lost. God lias given us a test; 1 John 11:14. “We know that we have passed out of death into life becuu.-e we love the brethren.” Can you stand the test? Have you love for God’s people? if so, rejoice! you are on the way to Heaven But if malice, hatred and envy is in your heart you have the spirit of Cain, who was a murderer, and are on your way to hell though in the church. If we lack love it should bo made a mat ter of church discipline ns is shown in I Cor. 13th chapter, where God says, if we lack love our failh, good works and speech are all of no avail. Chris tians are all marked—they wear the |)adget)f brotherly love. '' IH. llrotheHy love is a type of JJeaten.—Hell begins on earth and fioddes Heaven. The place where l^e train starts to Heaven is the depot of lirotherly Love. When Ju- PQP and ^saii forgave each other, they felt as if they were on their way to Heaven as never before. So will you if yeu make up your difTicultics and forgive, Love never fails. Tongues will cease and knowledge will he done away—but now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. Mr. Klson has conducted revivals at Henderson, Fayottvillo, Raleigh, Newbern and Shelby, N.C.. and often refers to the work done at Shelby. On Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock there will be a meeting for men only. No ladies permitted to be present and no boys under fourteen years. All men cordially invited.

Ill the hurry of speech and anxiety to bo polite one is very oftm liable to slips of the tongue which may put an entire ly different construction upon the sen tence than was intended. For example, upon arriving at your entertainer’s house, you say, “I beg a thousand par dons for coming so lair," and are met by your hostess with (he words: “My dear sir, no pardons r.ro needed; you can never come too late.” Take another instance. At an even ing party in Cork a lady said to her partner, “Can you tell me who that ex ceedingly plain man is sitting opposite lo us?” “That is my brother.” “Oh, I beg your pardon,” she replied, much confused, “I did not notice the resem blance. ” That was certainly putting cro’s foot in it, and yet was perhaps not so awk ward as the following: After a certain concert a well known German canta- trice asked a gentleman to whom she hud been introduced how he liked her duet. “You sang charmingly, madam. But why did you select a lion id piece of music?’’ “Kir, that was written by my lute husband!” “Ah, yes, of course. I did not mean— But why did yon se lect such an ass to sing with yon?” “Ach himmol, that is my present hus band!” A lady said something the other day at a friend’s dinner that found mark tho archer little meant. There were sev eral strangers i cseut, and in response to a remark made about a certain lady of a certain ago, the fair guest in ques tion exclaimed, “Why. good gracious! she is as old as the hills!” and could not imagine in tho least what had caused tho general consternation, t he did a little later, however, when it was ex plained to her that two maiden sisters at the table, whoso names she did not catch in the introduction, were called Hill, and were extremely sensitive on the subject of age. “Hero, my dear husband,” said a loving wife, “I have brought yon a little silver pig for luck. It’s a charm, you know, dear, to bring happiness to a house. ” “Ah, how kind of you, darling! But why should I need a little pig to bring mo luck when I have you still?” An awkward compliment recently rather disturbed the harmony of a wed ding breakfast given by a substantial farmer blessed with five daughters, the eldest being the bride. A neighbor ing young farmer, who was honored with an invitation, thinking, no doubt, be ought to say something smart and complimentary upon the event, address ing tho bridegroom, said, “Well, you have got tho pick of tho batch. ” The countenances of tho four unmarried ones may bo imagined.—New York Dispatch. UNDER THE DAISIES. Tti^ Aotljor of “Evelina.” Miss Burney, cr Mine. D’Arblay, re tains a placo in literature partly by her povels, partly by her exceedingly inter esting diary. Nor must it bo forgotten that, although “Evelina” appeared so joug ago as 177b, there are many people still living who wero young men and women when she died. 8bo has been praised by Macaulay for describing real life “with broad, comic humor.” yet in language that Is never “inconsistent with rigid moi..lity or even with virgin delicacy,” and it is true that “Evelina” possesses unique interest as a description of contemporary manners and is free from unnecessary coarseness. It is also true that the author has u kceu eye for tho ridiculous and a considerable gift of satire. Nevertheless Mine. D’Arblay is not entitled to any high place as a novel ist. Her constructive skill is small, and her characters are for tho most part what Johnson would have called “hu- morists”—that is, they aro the incarna tion of qualities rather than flesh and blood individuals. Moreover, tho author herself is a “humorist.” Her ruliug pas sion is a morbid craving to be “genteel. ” Lhc has no mercy for vulgarity or the vul gar, but she fails to ace that her own wor- 1 ship of society conventions is itself yt\J- gar. And hence on® piay doubt the pro priety of assigning to her “broad pomi® humor. ” She was too much of a prig to pc possessed of humor, which implicates geniality, Ktill, Mme. D’Arbiay claims respect | on the specific ground that she did much j to purify arf important form of litera ture, while she has a certain additional claim to remembrance from her connec tion with Dr. Johnson.

Disease never hud u greater cmxney than this pow erful blood purifier. It makes the weak strong. Ned Chatterton was a good deal of a mother’s boy—that is to say, such a warm affection existed between mother and son that it was remarkable in this day of filial laxity. So when it boeame known that Ad elaide Westcott was engaged to him, her many friends grew solicitous in Warning her as to tho course she should pursue in regard to her future mother- in-law. “When a mother has always had such complete ascendency. over a son, it is always a hard mutter to make her rec ognize a wife’s right, and if this is to ho done, positive measures must be em ployed from tho first.” Ko her friends said, and her own mother gave her some good advice in the same line, while her sister Nell deplored tho necessity of having mothers-in-law and reviewed all the traditions in regard to those very undesirable personages. With so much instruction Adelaide became also imbued with very positive notions on the subject. Of course, lie was an only sou and bis mother a wid ow, but she could never consent to live in the sahie house with tho elder wom an. If all was to go well, she was to begin right. Of course, Ned loved his mother, but matrimony would put him under new obligations. At her first op portunity she explained it all to him and insisted that they should keep a separate establishment. Ned looked pained, but ho said: “I shall do as you say in the matter, Adelaide, though I had looked forward to a very happy companionship between you and my littlo mother, hire is not hard to get along with, I know, and she could have helped yon so much with her advice and counsel in tho household affairs. ” But Adelaide showed him how a mother-in-law, by her very love and preference for her son, might cause dis sension between husband and wife. Perhaps he was not convinced, but he yielded the point and they were mar ried. Allot Adelaide's friends congratu lated her upon her good sense, and bo- hind his back praised Ned for his con sideration in sparing his wife the pres ence of a mother in-law. But he gave himself tho satisfaction of setting up housekeeping within a block of the mother he loved. Sometimes ut night, when ho and Adelaide sat lonely by the fire, he thought of his mother and wished that she might he with them, but on the whole they were happy and no morbid thoughts entered his brain, for he be- licvsd that in time Adelaide’s own g'xxl sem e would triumph over tho prejudices aroused by officious friends. But this was his mother’s wisdom. Then were times when tho elder Mrs. Chatterton wept a little that she was denied the daily vision of her son’s joy, but she .<aid nothing and kept her tears to herself. Ned was very faithful and dutiful, but she did uot go often to tho house, because her presence always seemed to put Adelaide hi a mood of defense almost liordrring on aggression. The young woman meant to bo under stood, and plainly understoocL that she would tolerate the iutefftrepe® ju her affairs of no. pp®thev-iu-law. And so the mouths passed. In the first glow of connubial joy Ned had neglected his club, but as time went on and tho household bogan to move in the accustomed routine he be gun occasionally to drop in and spend a social hour with his man friends. At first it was bnt once in two or three weeks and only an hour or two then. Then ho went more frequently and staid later. Homo evenings Adelaide was very lonesome, and after awhile, when he staid late, would cry to herself, but sho always tried to welcome his return with an unclouded face. She believed that it was only thoughtlessness, and that after awhile, when he came to re alize how very lonely she was, he would uot stay away from her so long. But ho did uot scorn to realize- Once, when she was very lonesome, Mrs. Chatterton came in and sat with her. They talked together and busied themselves with some needlework, and the hours did not seem so long. And when Ned came that night they walked homo with his mother and all were light hearted and happy. Bnt other evenings passed when no body came in, or \vhen her mother or Nell dropped in to find her alone, and hinted that Ned was neglecting her. They would look at her strangely, as if they pitied her, and wondered if she were happy. Somehow this pained her. Ned was good. She loved him and knew that ho kivod her) he was only thought less. She said this over and over to her self, and she could not bear to see In tho eyes of her relatives the look that accused him. Ouo uight who* he had been later than usnnl and when her heart was overfull she tried to tell him how he was paining her, but broke dowu end burst into tears. His face was flushed and he answered her impatiently: . “Non sen so, Addy; don’t act like ■ baby; you must remember that you are a woman. You oughtn’t to expect a man. to stick in the house all tho time. M It wasn’t so much what ho said, bet the tone in which ho said it, that hurt her and made her sob silently until she fell asleep. There was something restrained and lhamefaced in his manner as ho kissed her goodby the next morning and went dowu town, but in the evening he re turned early, and after dinner he did not go out. He was restless and nervous and didn’t seem to bo reading the paper which he held up before him. Between husband and wife there was an embar rassing silence. There seemed to bo no common themo for them to talk about. They retired early, and again Adelaide’s pillow was wet wiih tears. It is a very easy matter to toll when a man stays in the house out of a sense of duty. That is what Ned did for several nights, but it brought Adelaide no hap piness and him no comfort. Her heart was overfull and she want ed sympathy and counsel. To whom should she turn? Would not her father tell her that she was foolish? Would not her mother be angry and blame Ned? Would not Nell pity her? No; she could uot go to none of these. Then suddenly she thought of Mrs. Chatter ton. Sho understood Ned. She loved him. Would she uot also understand the situation and lie able to_ advise her? When she had gained courage enough, she went down to her mother-in-law’sand sobbed out the whole story to her. The old lady took her in her arms as she would have a tired child. "You poor, littlo girl,” the paid. “Ned has been very bad to yon. and Yon didn’t know how to manage him. How should you? But he patient; wo shall bring the young man around all right.” Mrs. Chatterton bent down and kissed the girl, who lay fobbing in her arms, and hope sprang np in the young wife’s heart. It was a matter of porno doubt whether Ned was more pleased or surprised when, on the following irght, Adelaide said to him: “Would yon mind going to tho dub tonight, Ned? Mother and I aro going nut for a little while, and I am afraid you will bo lonesome.” ■“Certainly uot,” ho replied, “but I thought your mother was out of tho city.” “I moan Mother Chatterton—your mother,” sho said, faltering and blush ing. “Oh,” he said tenderly, and lie was slow in getting his hat, and he kissed her twice before going out. Ho came homo early that evening, and his mother was just about to leave as he entered. Sho panned only long enough to say: “I’ll bo over tomorrow evening. Mr. and Mrs. Delaney are coming with the hope of beating you and Addy a few games cf cards. I’ll have to eome and make a welsh rabbit for you, I suppose. ” “That will be just tho thing,” said Ned. “I’ll show Tom Delaney whether he can beat us at cards or not. Do eome, mother. Wait a minute, ami Addy and I will walk homo with you. Won’t we, dear?” But his wife was already throw ing on her cape. Next night Mr. nnd Mrs. Delaney came and Ned and Adelaide were beat en, but Mrs. Chatterton made tho Welsh rabbit—she had never made a boiler one—and there were jokes nnd stories and bright conversation all through the short eveuiug. Delaney proposed that the three Chat ter tons come over to his house on tho next evening and get their revenge, and they went. There were more jokes aml bright talk, and, best of all, this time Ned won. “How pleasant theso evenings aro,” he said to Adelaide, as with her on one arm and his mother on tho other he wended his homeward way, “and how foolish I have been to have been wast ing them nt tho cluk We must keep them np, ch, littlo girl?” They were - * just at Mrs. Chatterton’s gate, but Ade laide put her bund on tho old lady’s arm. “You are going homo W’ith us to spend the night,” she said. “And there is to be no demur, little mother,” added Ned, sweeping her ou past tho gate. $he could uot but con sent. Far into the uight. after JTrp. Chnt- tertou had gone to bed, Ned nnd Ade laide talked. They made plans for fu ture pleasure, and their youthful joy seemed the revival of tho honeymoon eu- tbnsia: in. "Weshall have such glorious times,” said Ned. “Mother is right hero near us. ” “Lho must be nearer, Ned,” said Ad elaide. "I want her to live right her® with ns. ” “Bnt, Adelaide”— “Ned, I desiro it. Don’t say no. I’ve got over some foolish notions of mine and I just begin to find how much I H®cd a mother-in-law. ” Her friends say: “It is strange that after starting out so well she would let him bring that mother-in-law in ou her, but I suppose bo compelled her; that’s tho way with men. ”—8t.
