RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. A NEEDLESS SHADOW. -o I said unto myself, If I were dead "What would befall those children? What would be Their fate, who cow are looking up to me For help and furtherance? Their lives, I said, "Would be a volume wherein I have read But the first chapters, and no longer see To read the rest of their dear history, So full of beauty and so full of dread. Be comforted! The w^rid is very old, And generations pass, as they have passed, A troop of shadows moving with the sun ; Thousands of times has the old tale been told ; The world belongs to those who come the last, They will find hope and strength as we have done. ?Longfellow. Galilee in the Time of Christ. Of the current statements accepted as history, about half are, without doubt, mere opinions?guesses at truth. An errror carelessly made, for example, in Biblical study by one commentator, is scrupulously copied by succeeding writers, until, if found in any one of the "Sunday-school junk shops and presbygational dictionaries" indispensa ble to every well-regulated Christian family, it is accepted as a scientific fact. Dr. Selah Merrill, of Aodover, the author of "East of the Jordon," is out with another work, which illus trates admirably the value of an im partial and critical examination of the data on which certain popular notions of sacred history are supposed to rest. The general opinion of commentators and Christians is that Galilee, the home of our Lord, was in his time a poverty stricken land. i4The province is spoken of as having been one of the most 'obscure' and 'despicd' of the Roman Empire; and Nazareth an 'in- j significant villiage,' whose inhabitants were ignorant and even 'immoral.' Consulting every original authority he could lay hands on in all languages, and supplementing this research by his own familiarity with the Palestine of to-day. Dr. Merrill has concluded in his little book. "Galilee in the time of Christ,'* the introduction to which is by Dr. Peabody of Harvark, that the pre vailing conception of ancient Galilee is far from the truth. 'The writers of the Gospels,' he says, 'invariably speak of Nazareth as a city, in no case do they call it a village; and it is quite proba ble that its population amounted to fif teen or twenty thousand souls. As to the province itself, it was in Christ's time one of gardens of the world?well watered, exceedingly fertile, thoroughly cultivated and covered with a dense population.' Christ's station in life as a carpen ter's son is not so humble as generally depicted *It should be remembered," says Dr. Merrill, 'that ia Christ's time it was a disgrace not to labor. The most emisent teachers eojrajred regul?r er o o 3y in manual labor.' He finds the Gal Sileans in general to have been 'a moral, intelligent, industrious and enterprising people,' aniOGfj whom were found 'teach ers, learned men, missionaries, poets, And patriots cf the highest order.' The agriculture and fisheries of the province, wine and oil trade, and other industries were in a most flourishing condition. Its great thoroughfares were thonged with the caravans of commerce. Money was abundant, and synagogues and -other public buildings in the "wealthy -cities and flourishing towns'' that cover ed the country, were built often in splendid style and at great expense. Nervous People. There is a form of nervousness that leads a man to suppose himself serious ly ill, when, in reality, he is more ner vous than usual. He files to a physi cian for relief, and often ends by per suading himself intG a severe illness. The fact is, nervous people waste a good deal of money, confidence and worry on their nervousness. It is per haps disagreeable to very uncomely people that they are not beautiful; adult intelligent people cf defective edu- j cation lament the disadvantages of their j youth ; persons who desire to be reli- j gious, and yet are intellev?tually skepti- ; cal, are frequently made miserable by ! the conviction that they are incapable of acquiring piety. A man with a i Roman nose may as well bewail his in- j capacity to change his organ into Gre- J cian outline as for nervous people to la- j ment that they cannot discharge ner- ! vousness from their physicial organiza- ; tion. It cannot be expelled. It is j there to siay. But self-control and i self-restraint will do much toward ob- j viating the evil, and are more effica- j cious than the attendance of any physi- j cian. Training Guiteaus. There is a school in our country whose systematic course it is to train and develop Guiteaus in every walk of life. It is one of toe most active, well organized and wide-reaching institu tions of our land. Its literature is the most abundant, perhaps, and the most j extensively read of any issued from I our preses. Its influence commences to : enmesh the minds and consciences of i boys and girls as soon as they are able i to read, and its grasp grows tighter and : stronger with amazing rapidity, till it j leaves them palseid in mind and soul. ! It is the great school of Trash and ! Flash, and its text books may be found ; on every news stand. Has it gained i an entrance into your house? Are j your children committing its lessons to | heart? If so, beware or it is o:,Iy a matter of time when you will be curs ing the day that made you a pareut. Pituitary Ch. Adr.ucate. Jean Iogelow's life is more beautiful ! than her poetry. Her face is well known ! among the wretched poor of London, j and three times a week .she gives a din- j ner to the sick poor and the discharged I convalescents from hospitals, who either j are unable . > work or have not vet j found employment. She once said: ; *'I find it one of *he great plensurcs of j writing that it gives m^re money for j such purposes than falls to the lot of ! most women." i ? m ^ If ever these depraved hearts of ours | ascend in iove to God, the God of Iovo himself must frst come down and touch them with a spark from the celestial fire. Literature for Boys. The old-fashioned stories which the unhappy boys of the last generation read have been succeeded by the manly and fascinating criminal novel. In the old story-books it was assumed that truthfulness, honesty, and obedience to parents were virtues, and that the Chris tian religion was not wholly devoid of merit. If these views were not direct ly taught in tue juvenile literature of our fathers, at all events tbey were uev er directly or indirectly attacked. Boys could learn nothing from their story books except preposterous platitudes? nothiug that was o:' any practical use, or that tended to develop in them man ly and brilliant traits. No such com plaint can be made of the dime and half-dime novels of the criminal school which are now read by all our boys, either openly or secretly. In these de lightful stories new forms of profanity and slang are taught in the most effect ive way. The pleasures of burglary and highway robbery, the manliness of gambling and fighting, aud the hero ism of successful lying, are set forth in what is regarded by youthful readers as glowing eloquence; while the great truths that all parents are tyrants, that all religious people are hypocrites, and that disobedience to fathers and teach ers is obedience to the nobler instincts of juvenile nature, are sedulously taught. Such stories as these develop all that is manly and lawless in our boys, and teach them lessons that can not fail to be of immense service to them in what ever criminal career they may adopt. There arc a few old-fashioned people who denounce the new juvenile litera ture in unsparing terms; but that near ly all fathers approve of it is self-evi dent. They know that their boys are reading novels illustrative of the excel lence of crime, but they make no effort to suppress that sort of literature, as they certainly would do did they disap prove of it. Nothing would be simpler thau to drive those novels out of exis tence All that it would be necessary to do would be to 'Boycott' the news dealers who keep them for sale. The truth evidently is that fathers either do not care what their boys read, or that they have no fault to 6ud with Jack Harkaway and the Boy Burglars. It can not be that respectable gentlemen who dislike crime, profanity and vulgar ity, willfully refuse to know what their boys are reading, or weakly hope that by some happy chance their reading will do them no harm.?Ilarpefs Mag azine. Some persons among our acquaint ances, without any effort or even con sciousness on their part, draw us out, and others lock us up. You sit down to talk with oue gentleman or lady, and in spite of all you can do you are clum sy ; the sentences come out wrong end first; you are under a numb palsy or a nightmare. There is no explanation of it. The person is one you especially want to please ; but a fatal impotence pinches the whole interview, and you areashamed of yourself. Another comes, and all your powers are set free ; the ideas come out readily and lucidly; you are kindled and liberated; the sky islumi nous ; the right words are not wanting : you find more in you than you suspect ed. What can this mean but that there is an occult law of sympathy, of which I have already spok. n, and that we suc ceed in all ways io whatever degree we have in us that which is common to our kind ??Churchman. Never show that you feel a slight. This is worldly wise as well as Chris tian ; for no one but a mean perron will put a slight on auother, and such a per son always profoundly respects the person who is unconscuios of his feeble spite. Never resent publicly a lack of courte sy ; it is in the worst taste. What you do privately about dropping such an ac quantaaee must be left to yourself. Humility is the source of all true greatness; pride is ever impatient, ready to be offended. He who thinks nothing is due to him, never thinks himself ill-treated; true meakness is not mere temperament, for this is only softnesss or weakness. TRUTH ATTESTED.

The truth of these testimonials is absolute, nor can the facts they announce be ignored. Atlanta. Ga., March 3. 1881. II. II. Warner $ Co., KocfosUr, N. Y. : Gentlemen?For twenty years I have suffer ed more or less from my bladder at:d Kidneys. My business for many years bad required me to travel all over i tie southern states. Whilst going '0 Texas, last fall, I saw iu a paper an advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and iu less than a week the improvement in my health was palpable. Siuce then, my general health has improved wonderfully, and 1 now enjoy a degree of health and strength, in every par ticular, such as I had not hoped it po-sible to enjoy again in this world?of which I am sat isfied, under God's blessing,, has been due to your remedy. VWO. C. W^nVtmA. Office of Ordinaky. Mcscogef Co., \ Columbus; Ga., Oct. l, 1881. j IT H. Warner <f Co.. Rochester, Ar. Y. : Gentlemen: For eighteen months I suffered intensely with a disease of the kidney 5 and a torpid liver, and after trving every remedy that I could hear of, besides being under the treatment of some of our ablest physicians, I had about given up my case as hopelessly in curable, when I was prevailed upon by my wife to try your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I confess that i had but little faith in its merits or efficacy : but to my great joy and satisfaction, after I had commenced on the second bottle, I continued the use of the med icine until I became completely cured. Judge court of orditr Thousands of equally strong endorse!, eats ?many of them it case ' u-re hope was aban d-Oned?have been voluntarily given, shelving the remarkable power of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, in all disesaes of the kidneys, liver and urinary organs.

PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, OFFICE SOUTH SIDE DU GAN ST., SUM TEH, S.O. Aug 2 tf THE NEWS AND COURIER-1SS2. -0 The News and Cockier, in the New Year, will have no other object' than to help the people of South Carolina to manage their own affairs in their own way. To this end it will encourage the expression of intelligent opinion on subjects of general interest, and strive to be the means of laying before the whole State the views of those who have something sensi ble to say, and know how to say it. The News and Courier will not be a passive spectator of events. It will utter its opinions frankly and freely, but, holding that what is wise and true has nothing to fearfrom analy sis and discussion, it will never seek to Strengtheo its own position by suppressing the opinions of those who honestly differ from it'. T/te News arid Courier, with one exception, is the only newspaper in the South Atlantic States which receives the whole of the Southern dispatches of the New York Associated Press, and this service will be supplemented by special dispatches from every part of the State and the United States. Recognizing the importance of giving the people the earliest and most accurate intelli gence in State and National affairs, The News and Courier, will assign one of the most trus ted and most capable members of its Staff* to permanent duty at Columbia, and has sta tioned at Washington the gentleman who earned golden opinions while ou duty at the State Capital. This will be a year of lenneot and possibly of change in South Carolina, and what the people require is to have all the news, without fear or favor; and no matter whom it helps or hurts. The Resident Correspondent \ of The Nnvs and Courier at Columbia will j give our readers information concerning men I and things which can be obtained in no other j newspaper. In like mr.uncr, the Resident Correspondent of The News and Courier at Washington, having no other newspaper to serve and being nobody's henchman, will be in position to report impartially the progress events and the acts of public men. The great effort of The News and Courier will be to get the most news, and to get it first and in the best shape. The purpose is to make it a newspaper that no business man. no planter or fariuer. no person interested in public affairs can afford to do without. IN THE STATE The News and Courier will advocate honesty, justice and economy, and will insist that merit and capacity* shall be the prime tests in selecting candidates for public office. Particular attention will be paid to the wants of the farmers and planters, and The News and Courier, which formulated, more than ten years ago, a great economic truth in the phrase "Bring the Mills to the Cotton" will persevere in demonstrating the advan tages and profits of manufacturing, of which South Carolina already furnishes many strik ing examples. The utilization of the phos phate deposits will claim our special care, with the view of obtaining the largest public benefits from the common inheritance of the people. The News and Courier will, indeed, be alwaj's active in disseminating the knowl edge of improved processes in agriculture and manufactures, and will spare no pains in pointing out the means of turning to good ac count the undeveloped as well as the active resources of the State. Believing that the public school isthecradle of an enduring Republic, and that popular education is the only permanent protection against demagogisra, Tue News and Courier will always advocate the largest appropria tions for educational purposes that the public can bear. IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will advocate Honest Money: the re striction of the coinage of silver to the measure of the public demands for use as cur rency; the reform of the Civil Service through the Pendleton bill or any similar measure; the revision of the tariff for the relief of the people, and particularly of the agricultural classes; the abolition of the taxes on bauk checks, bank deposits and capital and on patent medi cines, and the retention of the duties on whiskey and tobacco in preference to the maintenance of the present tariff' on imports; the regulation of Inter-State commerce by the National Government, so as to deprive rail road corporations and comli jations of the power to injure and oppress the people; free ships; public improvements by the National Government for National purposes: the ap plication of surplus revenue to the reduction of taxation, instead of the headlong extinction of the public debt, and, above all, liberal ap propriations by the National Government for the education of the illiterate voters who were imposed upon the country by the act of the government and who are a perpetual menace to free institutions and honest rule. IN STATE AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will uphold the rights of the Stales within their own spheres, under the Constitution as it is, and the supremacy of the National Government in National affai-3. And the News and Courier will de vote itself to strengthening good feeling, good will and mutual confidence betweeu the people of the several States and between the States and the National Government. The Sunday News will retain its social and literary character, in connection with all the news of the day, and the discussion of borne subjects of local import and application will be continued. Hereafter none of the news published in The Sunday News will be pub lished in The News and Courier. THE TRI-WEEKLY edition of the News and Courier will be issued as before, giving the reader the news contained in The News and Courier, with slight exceptions, at one half the price. THE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im proved. The Chess column and the Agricul tural department will be continued, Puzzles and Problems for young and old will be a permanent feature, beginning with the New Year; and io a few weeks we shall begin the publication of "Ten Terrible Tales" by an English author of established reputation. Arrangements have been made likewise for a Serial Story by a South Carolina author whose works have attained great popularity in Northern periodicals. There is not anywhere in the South a better advertising median) than the News and Cou rier, and in South CaroBna it has the adver tising field, outside of the influential weekly press in the country, virtually to itself. It goes into every part of South Carolina and of the United Stales, and has reached a com manding positiou with 'lie reading nublic.

PERRY Proprietor. 13 a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil la, stiliingiai mandrake, yellow dock, with j the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful j blood-making, blood-cleansing, and lite-sus- , raining elements: It is the purest, safest, i and most effectual alterative medicine i known or available to the public. The sei- i ences of medicine and chemistry have n^rer { produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so j potent to cure ail diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and I all scrofu'ous diseases, Erysipelas, ! Hose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples j and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, j Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, j Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Kins-worm, I Ulcers, Sores, Rhettniatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak- j nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, ! Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, j Emaciation, and General Debility, j By its searching and cleansing qualities I it purges out the foul corruptions which ! contaminate the Mood and cause derange- i mem and decay. It stimulates and enlivens | the vital function*;, promotes energy and ; strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the \ whole system. No sufferer from any dis- j ease which arises from impurity of the Mood need despair who will give Avek's j Saksatarilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer- i ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-ptiririers, while disease becomes more . firmly seated. Aykr's Sarsaparilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable' blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and pre- \ scribe it. It has been widely used for forty j years, and has won the unqualified conti- j deuce of millions whom it has benefited. j Prepared by Dr. J. C.
