Growth of Christianity.
^? Ir'^'The increase of Christian nations: is
: therefore an important element of Chris
.progress. But, whether we look
^"? the nation or the individual church
organizations, one fact stands out prom
|||p^?n?nt?y beyond all others ; and that is
?B$-;'-rM& accelerated growth of Christianity
in our own tines. The most reliable
estimates of~the progress of Christianity
down to the Reformation are about as
follows :
: ' - Number. Increase.
Advent of Christ_ -OOO -OOO
|p>r%r~8econd century_. 2,000,000 2,000,000
^-^?Ponrth century_ 10,000,000 3,000,000

Fourteen th century.. 80,000,000 10,000,000
Kfteenth century.iOO,000,000 2o,000,000
flip * Here the laTgest increase for 200
|?| % years is about 20,000/000. Bat after
r the Reformation the rate of progress
was greatly accelerated. At the end of
s *tbe first two centuries the number of
nominal Christians had risen to 155,
000,000, an increase of 55,000,000;
- and at the end of the next century
~ (1800) ithad gone up to 200,000.000,
an increase of 45,000,000, or nearly as
T-f much in 100 y ears as in the preceding
I two hundred. But for the eighty years,
- since 1800. the number has gone up to
410,000,000, so that the increase of
these eighty years (210,000,000) es
?.. ceeds all the growth of the whole eigh?
teen preceding centuries.
A Poor Memory.
Without question - the memory may
be cultivated. The habit of attention
is one of the first to be acquired in
. . working towards this end ; but there
.are other helps, such as the habit of or?
der, and the advantage arising from
? proper classification, and last, but not
least, the aid of the imagination, in
"masing mental pictures. The grocer
- and the apothecary knows the value of
. order in their business ; the booksellers,
too, with his thousaods of volumes ; see
. him step to the place in his store where
he knows the volume you are asking
for should be ; he merely peaches forth
his hand and takes it from the shelf.
Watoh the type setter at his work ; you
would think his fingers work automat?
ically, as they take up from the box ar-1
. j-angement before him the exact letters j
composing the words of his copy. Ob- j
serve the fingers of the piano player;!
as if endowed with entelligence or mern- j
cry, the right key goes down at the
proper time ; it matters not what the
speed of the movement may demand,
there is no hesitation. Now why can?
not we accomplish with facts, figures
, " and ideas what the type-setter accom
rplisbed with his type, the pianist with
bis keys. All that is necessary to do
this is application and a determination
to aucceed-r: : i
The Conductor's Lamp.
'Bid you ever notice how the con
ductor always holds his lamp to the
ticket, and takes no pains whatever to
inspect the passenger?* I asked cf ruy
next neighbor in the car 'No Dot par?
ticularly,' lie replied. 'What of it ?
'Only that the railroad is supposed to
be dealing with men, and not a bit of
colored pasteboard called a ticket.' He
caught my meaning instantly ; for this
was a favorite saying of his : '-I tell you,
God deals with men, not with a little
bit of theological scrip called faith ; and
when the Almighty admits one to heav?
en, he makes rigid inquiry about his
character, and not about his faith.' He
had repeated this remark so often in
our discussions on justification by faith
that it had become perfectly familiar to
me, and I wished now to call it up for
further consideration. Hence my
question.
?Bu: why should not the conductor
look at the man, and let the light shine
ia his face, instead of giving so much
attention to the ticket ?' I said press?
ing my point. 'Because the ticket
stands for the man,-' he ?replied, crusti?
ly. 'Yes,* I answered. 'And faith
stands for the man. The railroad car?
ries only those who have paid their fare,
and the ticket certifies to its payment,
and*shows that the holder is right with
the company-that he has done the
righteous thing of complying with the
cash conditions on which the corpora-]
tio? acts.' 'That is true,' said my
friend. 'Well,'I continued, 'God has
made certain conditions of salvatiou,
among-which are holiness, righteous?
ness, and obedience. The first step
toward heaven is obedience to God's
commandments.' ' That is so F he ex?
claimed with great emphasis, referring
to my last remark, and added, 'A man
must obey God and keep his command?
ments before he can ever start on the
way pf life.
'Well,' I continued, 'the Bible says,
'And this is his commandment, that we
should believe on the name of his Son,
Jesus Christ, and love ? one another.'
Now. when a person sincerely and with
the heart believes on Jesus Christ, and
confesses him to be the Son of God, has
he not taken the first step in obedience,
and is it not right for the Lord to ac?
cept this faith as a token of his sincerity,
and to admit him into the company of
those who are journeying heavenward ? j
'Provided he goes on m the right way,'
.he replied, 'doi:ag right/and loving his
neighbor.' 'Tes, so say I; faith with?
out works is dead. We are justified by
faith, and our faith is justified by
our works. If we have a true faith, it
will manifest itself in a growing and
continuous exhibition of well-doing.
But just as the ticket is'the pledgc^oj^a-.
passenger's compliance wilbrTne terms
of the railroad corporation, faith is the
token of a man's cotisent to God's con?
ditions of salvation. It is the first es- j
ereise of obedience to be followed by
the successive stages.' 'But is that
all you imply by faith V continued my
friend. 'Oh, no indeed. Faithis^fJwii I
acceptance of God's pledgeanjj^fovision
of eternal life. TJ^?WriTnot simply a
pass; itj^r^seal of.a covenant. So
sooo-aifthe traveler has the pledge of
the company of his life and protection.
He has now intrusted himself to their
keeping. So faith is an act of obedience
to the gospel ; but it is especially an
act of committal and intrusting of our
_sou.ls_tp th.e JLprd.. .our . Sa viour. Thc
poorest beggar is as safe as the million?
aire under the shelter of that little bit
of paper called a ticket. The man that
has proffered his faith to Christ, great
sinner or small, is equally" safe.'
Just then our station was called and
we hurried out with our valises, I med?
itating as I passed on - the aptness of
things natural to illustrate things spiri?
tual, and ?ay friend" saying, 'Welt, it
may not be so unreasonable as I had
thought-this doctrine of salvation by
j faith.'-The Watchman.
mg-? t I i ?- .i
There is a Messing attending the
ministry of mercy.
Faith and hope cure more diseases
than medicine.
Money and time are the heaviest
burdens of life, and the unhappiest of
all mortals are those who have more of
either than they know how to use.
Don't think there is something radi?
cally wrong about the world because it
don't run according to your notion.
There arc thousands who think the
same.
In order to have any success in life,
or any worthy success, you must resolve
to carry*into your work a fulness of
knowledge-not merely a sufficiency
but more than a sufficiency.
No man ever took hold of a godly
life as men take hold of a secular life,
and fellowed it up with such persistence
as men employed in a secular life, that
he did not, by augmenting knowledge
and progressive steps, rise to tHe realm i
of spirituality in religion.
When men in high places stoop to j
association with vice and crime they |
cannot espect to remain untainted ; of- ?
ten, to save themselves, they seek to
fasten their guilt upon the innocent,
but deception is a tangled, as well as
dangerous, web, and sooner or later its
votaries are caught in their own foul !
meshes.
One perfect diamond is more valua- j
ble thau many defective ones. One I
truth well fixed in the mind and com- ?
prebended is better than many half un- j
derstood. A small opportunity fully j
realized is better than a great one mis- !
improved. The wealth of affectionate !
sympathy and aid is better thau gold, ?
and fills the soul with most perfect !
peace. Faithfulness lays up treasures j
in the heavens which uothiug can injure j
and no one remove. j
? l>ad rather, as a forgiven child,
with all thc prospects of the future I
opened up unto me, wear the crown j
~ ?rchased by the redeemiug love of
Christ, than that which is worn by the
Unf?llen angels, because the blessings
of a divine atonement, through a diviue
incarnation, secured to the soul in har- j
mony with the condition of the gospel, j
reveals the character of God iu a way :
impossible to be m;:de known to tho?:: I
who bad complied with all that the law j
demands: and this places thc sinner, !
penitent and forgiveu, upon a platform
of experience and personal relationship ?
to God, of a na'ure so peculiar and so I
extraordinary as to throw all other j
stars, glittering never so brightly in j
the heavenly firmanent, into compara- !
tive obscurity, contrasted with the ex- '
ceptional brilliancy of the state which ?
involves the strange anomaly of justice j
and mercy joined together, thc law sus?
tained and the sinner saved,-Bev.

Why Booth Killed Lincoln..
A story is going the rounds of the
newspapers, setting forth in detail
the reason why John Wilkes Booth
assassinated Abraham Lincoln.
It will be remembered that one
Maj. C. H. Cole, of the 5th Tennesee
Regiment, was the leading spirit
in a plot, in 1864, to release some
20.00G Confederate prisoners confined
in Chicago, Columbus and Sandusty.
Also that one J. Y. Beale, Cole's
second officer, was his intimate friend
and accomplice in the work. Through
a betrayal of one Col. Johnson of- Ken?
tucky, the whole plan was frustrated;
Cole was arrested, and while on bis
way to Fort Lafayette, in New York
harbor, Beale endeavored to rescue
him. He tried to wreck the train
which he ha l taken on the Lake Shore
Railroad, but it proved to be the wrong
one. Beale was then captured tried,
sentenced to be hanged, and did suf?
fer the death" penalty on Governor's
Island.
It is explained by those who pro?
fess to know that the execution of Beale
caused the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln. J. Y. Beale was from Jeffer?
son County, West Virginia but a short
distance from Washington, where many
of his relatives now live. He was the
intimate friend of Johu Wilkes Booth.
When Beale was sentenced to death
Booth made a powerful attempt to save
his life. He enlisted all the eminent
men he possibly could to aid him in his
efforts, but there seemed no hope of
success. As a lastresort .be begged
his influential friends to secure him an
audience with President Lincoln.
Quite a number of them consented to
do so, among whom was the late Col*
John M. Forney. The audience was
granted a short time before Beale
was to be hung, and Booth made a
plea for his life, which moved Mr.
Lincoln to tears. The good-hearted
President would doubtless have com?
muted Beale's sentence after the occur?
rence of that night, but Secretary Stan?
ton said : 'There has been too much
leniency in dealing with these fellows.
Cole's sentence has "been commuted.
The law ought to take its course on
Beale's case.' It did and Beale was
hung. Booth's failure to save the life
of his friend is said to have so preyed
upou his mind that it gradually .worked
him up to the poiut of assassinating thc
President.
Disease is an effect, cot a cause. Its origin
is within ; its manifestations without. Hence,
la cure the the disease the cause must be re?
moved, und in no other way can a cure ever
be efifected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle, lt realizes that
95 Per Cent.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at once at ihe root of
tue difficulty. The elements of which it is
composed act directly upon those great organs,
botb as a food and restorer, and, by placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from thesystem.
For the ionamerable troubles caused by un?
healthy Kidueys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the distiessiog Disorders of Women ; for
Malaria, and for ph3'sical derangements gen?
erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be?
ware of imposters, imitations and concoctions
said to be just as good.

AGENT FOR
CHAPMAN'S PERPETUAL EVAPORATOR,
These yorks were established in J847 "by
Messrs. Geo. Sinclair and Janies Anderson and
purchased by mo in the year 1S56, and from
that time till now carried on successfully by
myself. My friends and customers will bear
witness of the large and stupendous jobs exe?
cuted by me. It was at my works where the
largest and almost only job of its class ever ex
ecu ted in this city was done, viz: the making
of tne pipes feir the City Water Works in the
year 1S5S. In the branch of
BELL FOUNDING,
I can say that I have made the largest bells
ever cast in tb" State, such as the bell fer the
City Hall in Columbia.
My stock of patterns for
ARCHITECTURAL WORK,
COLUMNS FOR STORE FRONTS,
is large and various, and in RAILINGS "FOR
BALCON-ES, GARDENS AND CEMETE?
RIES I have thc largest variety and most mei?
ern patterns; many of these are pn ten ted and
1 have purchased thc right for this State.
In the machine- line I can furnish my pat?
rons with
Steam Engines and Boilers
of any size and description. My
CIRCULAR SAW MILLS
1 have carried off the pitze at every Stat? Fair
held iu this cify, and in their construction I
bare taken pains to opinbiue simplicity with
the most useful modern improvements, and may
flatter myself that ray CIRCULAR SAW
MILLS find faver with every sawyer who un?
derstands his business.
Thc many orders I am stsadilv receiving for
Sugar Cane Mills,
prove that ttie public appreciate thc mills of my
make, and so it is wi'h my
for HORSE PO WEBS, GIN WHEELS; GRIST
MILLS and other MACHINERY.
I have the ii.anufacturin<r right of maDy
PATENTS, such as castings for
Rock Cotton and Hay Press
and three or four FEED CUTTERS and other
IMPLEMENTS.
I will bc please-: tosend my CIRCULARS to
any applicant, toget'.er with price list or esti?
mate. My PRICES are moderate, and I assure
the public that they are lower even than those
of Northern manufacturers, and that my work
will compar.: favorably with that of any other
maker. Address

The only known Specific Remedy for Epi?
leptic Fits.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Epileptic Fits, Spasms, Convulsions,
St. Vitus Dance. Vertigo, Hysterics, Insanity,
Apoplexy, Paralysis, Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
and all Nervous Diseases. This infallible rem?
edy will positively eradicate every species of
Nervous Derangement, drive them away from
whence they came, never to return again. It
utterly destroys the germs of disease by neu?
tralizing the hereditary taint or poison in the
system, and thoroughly eradicates the disease,
and utterly destroys the cause.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Female Weakness, General Debility,
Leucorrhcea or Whites, Painful Menstruation,
Ulceration of the Uterus.. Internal Heat, Grav?
el, Inflammation of the Bladder, Irritability
of the Bladder, For Wakefulness at night,
there is no better remedy. During the change
of life no Female should be "without it. It
quiets the Nervous System, and gives rest,
comfort, and 'nature's sweet sleep.
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the hab?
it of Opium Eatiug. These degrading habits
are by far the worst evils that have ever befall?
en suffering humanity. Thousands die annual?
ly from these noxious drugs. Tlje drunkard
drinks liquor not because he likes "it, but for
the pleasure of drinking and treating his
friends, little thinking that he is on his road
to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he first uses
the drug in small quantities as a harmless anti?
dote. The soothing influence of the drug
takes strong hold upon its victim, leading
him on- to bis own destruction. The habits of
Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking are pre?
cisely what eating is to aliment!veness, as
over-eating first inflames the stomach, which
redoubles its cravings until it paralyzes both
the stomach and appetite. So every drink of
liquor or dose of opium, instead of satisfying,
only adds to its fierce fires, until it consumes
the vital force and then itself. Like the glut?
tonous tapeworm, it cries "Give, give, give !"
but never enough until its o'wn rapacity de?
vours itself. Samaritan Nervine gives instant
relief in all- such cases. It produces sleep,
quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous sys?
tem, and restores body and mind to a healthy
condition. "_s---r-- .
SAMARITAN NERVINE
Cures Nervous Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the
fl ar), Asthma, Bronchitis, Scrofula, Syphi?
lis, diseaseas of the Kidneys and all diseases
of tbe"Urinary Organs. Nervous Debility,
caused by the indiscretions of youth, perma?
nently cured by the use of this invaluable rem?
edy. To you, young, middle-aged, and old
men, who are covering your sufferings as with
a mantle by silence, look up, you eau be
saved by timely efforts, and make ornaments
to society, and jewels in the crown of your
Maker, if you will. Do not keep this a secret
longer, until it saps your vite ls, and destroys
both body and soul. If you are thus afflict?
ed, take Dr. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine.
It will restore your shattered nerves, arrest
premature decay,- and impart tone and energy
to the whole Svstem.
