i HONORARY MEMBERS : An Eastern
clergyman recently said "Two-thirds
of the members Of my church are hon
orary members They don't come TO
prayer meetings; they don't attend Sun
day school; they don't add TO the life of
the church. They are the passengers on
the gospel ship; they bear no burdens
add no strength. Their names are on

From wha. we have heard, we are in
cIined TO believe that the Memphis
churches can boast of good many hon
orary members.

the distinguished African traveller, after
death, says he was killed by the careless
ness of his physician, whom he called in
to relieve trifling attack of dyspepsia,
to which be was subject after eating
heartily. Among other articles of the
prescription was one ordering six grains
Of tartar emetic, which in itself was suf
fcient to kill four persons. If people
would for one moment consider how
easily remedies can be procured, which,
while they are perfectly harmless In
themselves, work marvellous cures, the
cases of poisoning by the carelessness
of ply Sicians would be few indeed. Such

A SAD FArE.-The well-known artist,
William Seton, engaged at the New
Memphis Theatre for some time, died
in the City Hospital couple of days
since, of fever contracted by neglect
and, exposure. Mr. Seton was young
artist of brilliant promise, until his love
for strong drink led him astray into a
dissipated path that only stopped at the
grave. His father-Mr. John S. Seton
is Stage Manager at Niblo's Garden, New
York, TO which place Williams remains
will probably be sent as soon as instruc.
tons can be received from his relatives.
Mr.. Seton was kind-hearted young
man, and had many friends in this place,
who feel q deep sorrow for his untimely
death. The fate of this young man
should be a.warning to the youth Of our
city, for it speaks in language far more
telling than the arguments Of the most
finished temperance lecturer, of the evil
results of intemperance,
