CHRlsrlANITY.--I see in Christian
ity nothing narrowing or depressing,

no minute legislation, no descending

Home, Burke Co., Nov. 10th:
On last Saturday we had a splendid
meeting of our Division. The whole num-
Der of members was out, both male and
female, and we initiated some by the new
Ritual. That book is so plain and conpre-
henslve that am greatly pleased with it.
We had our Cards, and you should have
heard us sing. We-went ii by new an
spiration, ike the woman when she stood
IN the washtnb and sang.
viii send Oh soon. a petition for
Charter for new Division in Caldwell
County.
BY the way, tell me, how can form the
little boys of our community into an or
ganization of something like Cadets2
would love to get all the little fellows
OF the vicinity under my training in this
respect, but | do not know how to man
age the thing. If such thing could be
done here, without much expense to them,
could bring under proper training some
70 or 80 boys, who, when of proper aoe.
would come into our order. Will YOU
give me some information upon this point
either through the Age, or by private cor
respondence
We are about to purchase good library
for the use of Jones Grove Division; So
that the ladies may have more interest in
visiting our Division. What think you o.
the movement?
Our object is, to lay out our surplus mo-
MES, (for, up here, we hardly ever get sick
when we have supplied our Division with
whatever it may need, for a good library
OF books, among which, we intend to have
a good supply upon Temperance SO that
Temperance principles, as we'll as good
reading matter upon other important sub
jects, may be spread all over this land.
| Within, you will find So. One of which
is to renew my subscription, and the other
for new subscriber, upon the proposition
of Carson" and you will SO record it.
In conclusion let me say take mum
Der of papers, but among them all, no one
is as eagerly looked for, and as welcome tc
my tireside, to me and my Mollie, as the
Spirit Of the Age. This l say, not by way

Wearing Flannel.


social circles. The fairest and loveliest are
its favorite victims. An ounce of preven-
ton in this fatal disease is worth many
pounds of cure, for when once well seated,
it mocks alike medical skill and careful nur-
sing. IF the fair sex could be induced to
regard the laws of health, many precious
lives might be saved, but pasteboard soles,
low necked dresses and liliputian hats SOW
annually the seeds of fatal harvest. The
suggestion in the following article in the
Scientific American, if followed, might save
many with consumptive tendencies from
an early grave.
Put it on at once winter and summer,
nothing better can be worn next to the
skin than red flannel shirt loose" for
it has room to move on the skin, thus caus-
ing a titilation which draws the blood to
the surface and keeps it there and when
that is the case no man can take cold !;
"red," for white flannel trails up, and mats
together, and becomes tight, heavy and
impervious. Cotton wool merely absorbs
the moisture from the surface, while wool
en- flannel conveys it from the skin and de-
posts it in drops on the outside of the
shirt, from which the ordinary cotton shirt
absorbs it, and by its nearer exposure to
the air, it is soon dried without injury to
the body. Having these properties, red
wooden flannel is worn by sailors even in
the midsummer of the hottest countries
| Wear thinner material in summer.
