How TO sleep i'm Church.

Assuming that it is duty, let us consider
the manner of performing it,. Like all Chris
tian practices, there should be uniformity in
the manner:
First-lt is an improper manner in per-
forming this duty to nod, and Tor the plain
reason that it attracts too much attention.
We are everywhere taught to avoid ostenta-
tions display in our whole worship. The
Pharisees were condemned for praying at
corners of the street, that they might be seen
OF men. On the same principle the nodding
Worsbipper is making too public display of
his devotions.
Second-Nor is it proper to snore in the
performance Of this duty-partly for the fore
going reasons; but mainly because it is di
rect intraction of the golden rule Suppose,
for instance that your next neighbor is
asleep, by your snoring he will be disturbed
probably awakened. This is not doing unto
Others as you would they should do unto you.
Third 1t is wrong to injure ones health
while offering worship; and all physicians ad-
NIT that to sleep with the head thrown back
and mouth wide open is liable to produce
sore threat and hoarseness. Besides flies
sometime get into the mouth On such occa-
sions, and 10y their injurious explorations
tickle the delicate membranes and cause hor-
l1ble sternutations and coughing, which is
very injurious % health.
Fourth-To sleep with the head resting
upon the arms of the worshipper and the
lace buried in the coat cuffs, is the most i'm
proper way OF offering sleep worship. First,
because it is so injurious to health, and main
ly, because it is a direct violation of the
Scriptures, which commands us to let our
light SO shine that men may profit by our ex-
SIMPLE. In this case it is impossible to know
whether the Christian worshipper is asleep
or awake: Ii is positive case of lukewarm-
ness-neither the one thing nor the other.

A Rows Composition about sheep.

A sheep is about as big as dog, though
they are better than dogs, cause dogs XIII
sheep, but sheep don't kill dogs except once
when man wanted to break his doc of
sheep killing, and SO held him and let an Old
sheep butt him till he broke his bones into
little fine pieces, about as big as a piece of
tooth and SO that was the way that dog got
broke; and l guess he wished he had learned
some other business besides butchering-
don't you? There are mostly two kinds OF
sheep-ewes and rams The rams have lew
horns There are principally several kinds OF
rams also. There is the battering ram that
they had in old times to knock on the gates
of cities when they wanted to come in. Then
there's the ram that they ram down guns
with II wish had gum, and the hydraulic
ram they ram up water with. Sometimes
when they wanted to knock down folks walls
in the Bible they didn't have whole rams
enough to batter them down, and they had
to take rams horns and blow them down.
That they did with the walls of Jerry Coe.
I.don't know whether he was any relation to
the phosphate OF lime man or not. There IS
two kinds of sheep, the South Down, that
they had down South, and the Merino, which
is the Spanish for marine, cause they come
over the sea. They keep the sheep for their
mutton, which is good when they can't get
turkey, though generally they jump out and
run away, so that they can't keep them.
The way to make them jump is to tie old
barrel slaves to their legs Tor letters. The
letters scare them, and they jump to get away
from 'em. Sheep are troubled with wool
growing all over them, and SO in the hot
weather they cut it off to keep them cool L
suppose they would have to cut it off at any
rate to get at the mutton. They spin up the
wool into stockings upon Lambs knitting
machine, though sometimes the grandmothers
knit them with needles, which L think is the
best way. because it keeps them quiet, and
they won't bother us boys SO much. When
sheep jump and run, one always follows the
rest. mean the rest always follow one. Ii
the leader should jump through keyhoe, or
over the moon, the rest would all follow,
which think is very bright in the sheep and
in other folks who always follow the leader
of course the leader is always right. Lambs
are kept fol- their innocence, which [ should
not think would pay though they gambol all
the time, which isn't so innocent neither,
though suppose they are the blackleg lambs.
forgot to mention that there is a kind OF
sheep called goats, which when you put up
nights have to be kept separate from the real
sheep-the sheep on the right and goats on
the lett. don't know as l know any mole
about sheep, though cousin bud does, cause
he keeps sheep, and he's got 'em so they'll
Jump tirst-rate, too.

"EGtren1e COSe' Cured.
From Rev. ISAAC AIKEN, Allegheny. Pal
JOSEPH FLEMING, Druggist,
No. 81 Market Street, Pittsburgh

Sir: take great pleasure in stating that after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others,
have been entirely cured by the of Goes Dys-
pepsa Cure. My friends know that of late years my
case has been an extreme one had great suffering
from eating any kind OF food, and an average
would vomit a0out one third of my meals in a sour
iDdigestibe mass. When the severe attacks would
come, would Sc all strength and be utterly help
less Some OF the attacks would be that for
days together would not retain anything on my
stomach save little dry toast and tea. For Yeas
knew not what it was to pass five consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose of this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength re-
turned, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table, SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return of
the disease. My case was considered by all, even
physicians, so marvellous that time it was fear
ed it might be fictitious: but am so well con-
WINGED, that have been not merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that 1 can conscentiously
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims of dys-
pepsia.
