THE PBOPHET?C? 3EEWDROP.
(Adapted fron? the Gerraaw o? Jean Paul
Richter.)
A child once found a rosebud
.With its petals drooped ?nd dead*,
And with tears in ber beautiful lore-lit eyes
She kn eli by ber father and said ;
."See, father, thit blushing rosebud
TT as t&e fairest we saw this mora
So fresh wa? each rose-colored petal
That we saw not the blistering thorn
And the dewdrops-Kke globales of silver
In its bosom were nestled so fair,
Bot now the dew is all vanished
And 'ti?scorched io the noonday glare,"
Vat soon from over the nowa tain
A storm swept over the plain, * - |
And "the clouds with their muttering thunders
Were fraught with refreshingTain. c
And soon o'er the distant hilltops
Shone that emblem of Hope, i be bow j
?ach tint was brighten the evening air
Witb the dewdrops' crystal glow.
And tbe father sat watching the rainbow,
And said as be pointed on high :
..See, child, the dewdrop thou mourn est
Is- beaming- far up m the sky ;
Thu? it is with the gems that God gives ns
To delight us on earth for a day ;
Be takes them again to his bosom
Ere life sullies their heavenly ray/'
Not lightly Shis troth there be uttered,
Birt little he thought of its weight,
For the Anger who gathers these dew-gems
Now stood at his heart's outer gate;
Ere tbe gates of the morning bad opened,
And sleep had- been chased from his. ey es, j
His darling;?ad sickened, and withered, .
~A?d soared with th? dew to the skies.

I Vash so Glad I Vash Here.
Mrl^Mdody, ?ho does not believe
that immersion is absolutely essential
for baptbm, was holding a protracted
"iaeeting, sad one night preached on the
?abject of baptism. In the coarse of
hts remarks he said that some believe
it necessary to,go down into the,water,
and come ap ant of it, ta be baptized.
Bat this be claimed to bc a doubtful
question^' for tber prepositioa "into," as
used 'in ~tHe Scriptares could be render?
ed differently, z? it does not mean into
at all times.4.'. "?Moses,? he said, *"we are
told, went sp into the moan tain, and
the Saviour was taken np into a high
. mountain, etc. Now we do not sup?
pose either went into a moon tain, but
west untojt. So with going down into
the water; it might mean simply going
down close by or near to the water, and
being baptized in tbe ordinary way, by
sprinkling or pouring.' Mr. Moody
carried this idea oat fully, giving the
impression that repentance and conver?
sion to God were more essential than
the particular "form of baptism." This
left the new converts perfect liberty to
join either the Episcopal, Methodist,
Presbyterian or Baptist church. .
After Mr. Moody bad closed his dis?
ecarse an invitation was given for any
one so disposed to rise and express bis
thoughts. "Quite?a number of his
brethren arose and said they were glad
they bad been present on this occasion,
that they were well pleased with the
sound sermon they bad just heard, and
felt their souls greatly blessed. Final?
ly a [corpulent gentleman of Teutonic
extraction, a stranger to al), arose and
broke the silence that was almost pain?
fal as follows :
' ?Mister Breacher, I is so glad I vash |
tere to-night, for I has bad explained
to my mint ^ome dings dat I Deffer
could pelief before, Oh, I is so glad
dat into does not mean into at all, bat

Gush.
Don't gash. Avoid extremes, su?
perlatives and-gush. Don't exag?
gerate the significance of trifles ;
don't describe mole hills as moun?
tains. If a raindrop wets your face,
don't say that the storm was terrible ;
if a person is polite to you, or dues
you a favor, don't immediately con?
clude that he adores you and would
die for you ; if, on the other hand, he
seems somewhat uneflusive, don't
infer that he hates and would like to
kill you. Appreciate all good things,
but don't sentimentalize over them.
Don't mn when walking would be
just as veil, and probably better,
and don't just pour yourself out
when, perhaps, it would be better to
contain yourself. Gush is doubtless
enjoyed by an individual here and
there who is himself effusive, but by
the world iii general it is usually re?
ceived as one of the things to be en?
dured with other afflictions.- Watch?

Sentiment and Hard Prose.
He was rather sentimental, and he
and his friend were in the park. A
little way off two ladies were seated.
One of them was ^very pensive and ex?
tremely pretty. She was resting her
cheek on ber band, and her eyes were
full of far off contemplation.
'She's pretty, isn't she ?' said be.
.By Jove, Tm falling in love with that
girl. ? wonder who that fellow is she
is thiokiog ?bout T I say. wouldn't it j
be pleasant tb think a pretty girl like |
that could sit and dream about you as I
she is dreaming about somebody T
Let's walk past and bave a look at
her/
So they walked slowly past. The
' maiden was still wrapt in contemplation,
sn? as they passed, her companion said,
quite distinctly :
'Now, Emily, this is all foolishness.
Let's go in to Dr.-'s and let bim
take the tooth outr-San Francisco
Chronicle
Sharper Than a Razor.
A long-waisted man, with the nose
of a fox and an eye full of speculation,
walked up to a second-hand clothier,
in Buffalo, the other day, and said :
'See that orercoat banging out
down there V
'Of course/
'Well, IVe taken a fancy to ft. It's
rather cheekys to ask you to go down
there, but Til make it an object ; I
won't give but $8 for the coat, but
Til give you $1 to buy it for me.
You are also a Jew and know how to
beat him down. Here are $9.
The dealer took the money and
started off, and in five minutes was
back witlrtbe coat.

[ Resolutions Adopted at the W. C.
J T. TJ- Convention at Newberry.
I The Committee on Resolutions report as
follows:
Realizing our dependence npon the Su?
preme Ruler of the Universe, and thanking
.Him fbr?is .guidance and protection of the
^Woman's- Christian Temperance Union of
South Carolina since its existence, as a State
organization ; we do affirm the following as
the principles, upon which the work of the
; Society is based :
[ I. We believe that the success of the Tem
j pera a ce reform depends upon total abstinence
I fortbe individual, and entire prohibition for
( the State.
! 2.. We believe that the liquor traffic is "not
only a sin against Go4 and His divine law,
bat that it is a disgrace to the nation. It de?
stroys the happiness of home and;brings into
the domestic circle untold sorrow in every
lorm ; therefore,
R&oloed, That we, the wives, mothers, and
j sisters of South Carolina, most earnestly pro
! test against the sale of poisonous beverages in
i our communities.
Resolved, That the members of the W. C.
T. U. of South Carolina, In Convention as?
sembled, do again most earnestly appeal to
the women of South Carolina to unite with
ns in onr efforts ta drive the iniquitous traffic
from our beloved State. And
WHERBas, nnfermented wine, made from
the pure juice of the grape: suchas Pharaoh's
cup-bearer made when the Scriptures tell us :
"He pressed the juice of the grape into the
cup and handed' it to the King," and-again
in Dent. 32ud chapter, 14 verse, we read that
before God's chosen fell, they drank the pure
blood of the grape and after their apostacy,
they drank the. poison of dragons, and the
cruel venom of asps, as our wine of commerce
now is, therefore,
Resolved, That* we petition the 'officers of
State and County Fairs to encourage, by offer?
ing- premiums, ' the manufacture of nnfer?
mented wine.
Resolved, That since as a nation we cannot
expect the blessing of God, while in open
violation of His positive command to keep
holy the Sabbath day, we wish especially to
express our disapproval of military parades,
excursion parties and above all the opening
of saloons on Sunday.
WHSRRAS, It is not the will of our Heavenly
Father that one of His little ones should per?
ish, and with the temptation of the open sa?
loon cn every band, our children are in great
danger.
Resolved, That we establish Bands of Hope
and Temperance schools whenever it is possi?
ble to do so ; and since the International
Sunday School Convention has prepared a
quarterly temperance lesson for the Sabbath
School, we urge.all teachers to prepare them?
selves, so that their teaching may be effectual
and the childred made to understand that no
drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of God.
Resolved, That as our colored population
even more than the whites, are the victims of I
the rum traffic we impress upon our organizer
the importance of forming unions for the !
colored people all over the State with officers
of their own, and urge our white unions to
gire them all the assistance and information
.possible to enable them to carry OD their j
work successfully.
Resolved, Tbat, as reformation more than
punishment is the course to pursue with
youthful criminals, the W. C. T. U. of S. C.,
respectfully memorialize the next Legislature
in behalf of the women and juvenile criminals
confined io our penitentiaries and jails; that
they shall be separated from the older and
more hardened -criminals, leaving tbe remedy
ia .their consideration and good judgment,
and asking their careful and prayerful atten?
tion toa matter so vital to our humanity,
Christianity and civilization.
Resolved, That we are grati?ed at the in?
terest expressed by the Normal Institute, and
Teachers Insulate, and many teachers in our
S?tate, in the great work of Temperance, ?nd
v?e ask them for their support in the general
use in their schools of the books on Physi
oloffy and Hygiene adopted by State Board.
Resolved, That as we are said to have the
best local option law in the nation, We do
most earnestly urge our legislature to exactly
nnd unmistakably indicate what officials are
responsible for the enforcement of it, and we
do pray them to attach such heavy penalties
for failure of those officers to perform their
duties, that our excellent le ivs shall no lon?
ger remain a dead letter on our Statue Books.
Having heard from good authority that
some physicians are in the habit of selling
for a consideration batches of prescriptions
signed by themselves as il. D's, to be used in
,:dry towns" to obtain liquor from drug
stores, and whereas this is degrading to a
grand profession, j
Resolved,- Thar we petition the Medical
Society to expre*" 'ht:r disapprobation of this
conduct, and, at \r as possible, DUI an end
to it.
Resolved, That we hare great reason to re- j
joice over the warra sympathy expressed for
our work by many of the religious bodies of
the State, and that we express our thanks
to the Churches which hare extended courte?
sies to our Unions during the past year.
Resolved, That the grateful thanks of this
Convention are due and are hereby teudered
to the W. CT U. to its committee on Re?
ception, and to the citizens of Newberry for
their hospitality in receiving this Convention
so graciously and entertaining the delegates
so bountifully.
Resolved, That we return thanks to the
railroads of the State for a reduction of fare.
Resolved, That we return thanks to the Pas?
tor and officers, of the Methodist Church who
have opened its doors for our Convention, and
also to the committee of ladies aud gentlemen
who decorated it.
Resolved, That words cannot express our
? admiration and thanks for the public speakers
and singers who made our meetings in the
Opera House occasions, ever to be cherished
in our memory.
Something You Need-Shorthand.
.'Why?"
Because it will aid you more than anything
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve you in case of misfortune.
"How can it be learned?"
By the aid of a book studied at home and
lessons by mail from an accomplished reacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifling sum of $6 00, including book.
"Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the
same course of instruction for $25?
Because a new text-book is used that re?
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference in price by the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more prac?
tical, besides being the most popular method,
having the indorsement of our Cougressional
and professional reporters every where, togeth?
er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of

the farm, in workshops and elsewhere-girls

DR. L. C. KENNEDY, of Spartanbnrg,
writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual?
ities of Glenn Springs I have known for over
forty years, and can attest to- i is value in
Dyspepsia from gastric or functional .derange?
ment of the Liver, General ?TeMlily, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would? particularly call attention, as
the waters harre shown large curative powers
rn these eompfaiots."
DR. O'. B. MAYZX, of Newberry, S. C.,
says: "I have sent more than fifty perspns
suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, and
have never been disappointed ia any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to express ray confidence in the Glenn
Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver,
when foractfonally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skin diseadesy troubles in the
Kidneys and Spleen, if produced by the Liver,
have all, as I know, disappeared at the
Springs."
DR. JAVSS MCT?TOSS, President of the Med?
ical Association o? South Carolina, ia his an?
nual address before that body remarks:
"Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys, deserves- to rank with
any other oo the continent,"

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever,
Headache, Debility, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and less wear to itself; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the lungs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science bas
yet made.
'The Compound Oxygen Treatment/ Drs.
Starkey & Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil?
adelphia, have been using for the last sixteen
years, isa scientific adjustment of the elements
of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the
compound is so condensed and made portable
that it is sent all over the world.

refer (in proof of their standing as Physiciaps)
