How to Avoid a Bad Husband.

The following rules will teach young ladies
how to avoid catching bad husband
l.. Never marry for wealth. A woman's life
consisteth not in those things that she pos
sesseth.
2. Never marry fop, or one who struts a.
bout dandy like, in kid gloves, cane, and rings
on his fingers. Beware there is trap!
3. Never marry niggard or closefsted,
mean, sordld man, who saves every penny, or
spends it grudgingly. Take care, lest he stint
you to death.
f. Never marry stranger, or one whose
character is not known or tested Some women
jump right into the fire with their eyes wide
open.
5. Never marry a NOPE or drone, or one who
drawls and draggles through life, one foot after
another, and lets things take their chances
g. Never marry man who treats his mother
or sister unkindly or indifferently Such treat
ment is sure indication Of meanness and wick
edness
I. Never, oil any account, marry gambler,
profane person, one who in the least speaks
lightly Of God or of religion. Such man can
never make good husband.
s. Never marry slovcn, a man who is negli
gent Of his person or dress, and is filthy in his
habits. The external appearance is an index
of the heart
9. Shun the rake as snake, viper, a very
demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who is ad
dicted to the use of ardent spirits. Depend
upon it, you are better off alone than you would
be were tied to man whose breath is polluted
and whose vitals are being burnt out by
alcohol,

Accidents by Fire.

While Miss Maggie Rinehart, third daughter
of Christian Rinehart, deceased. near this
place, was lying down before the fire, on Sun
day morning last, reading, she fell asleep, and
while in that state her clothes took fire, and
she was very badly burned before she awoke-
She ran down stairs and the fire was extin-
guished by Mr.. Charles Knott who happened
to be near, by throwing his overcoat around
her. Had it not been for his timely assistance,
the burning would have been more serious. =
Hopes are entertained Of her recovery.
Another accident of the same kind occurred
on Monday evening last to little daughter aged
years, of Mr.. VIM Fl. Marmaduke, of our
town The child was in front of the stove
parching corn, in the absence of its mother,
when its dress was set on fire, from the draught
of the stove, and when the mother returned, its
clothes were entirely consumed, and the child
horribly burned 1t lived in agony until Wed
nesday when death put an end to its sufferings

Growth in Grace.

Growth is the law of life. The plant that
lives grows, the tree that lives spreads its
branches wider, lifts its head higher makes its
shade richer and deeper while it grows. The
child that lives grows. He creeps, walks, works,
and becomes man In muscle, nerve and noble
deeds Spiritual life in the soul follows the
law of natural life in the body, in the tree, in
the plant. 1t grows and develops.
At first, spiritual life is but spark of grace,
as it were, then it becomes a live COAL and then
vitalizing fame At first it is seed sown in
the garden of the heart, then it is the tender
''blade, then the ear, and the ''full corn in
the ear. 1t is little leaven hid in three
measures of meal which goes on leavening and
leavening until the whole lumpis pervaded. =
Faith, which is an element of spiritual life,
feeble at the first, becomes strong through cx-
ercise and conflict. Hope brightens by ex-
perience, and love warns and glows in the dis
charge of duties enjoined by the author of this
new life
The grace of Christ in the heart reveals itself
in the outward life of the Christian. His walk
will become more circumspect. 1.-The path of
the just is a shining light which shineth more
and more unto the perfect day His know
ledge shall increase Then shall ye know, if
ye follow on to know the Lord, and his coming
unto you shall be as the early and the latter
rain unto the earth" His works shall become
richer in spiritual power, so that Others seeing
your good work shall be led to glorify your
Father which is in heaven
Growth in grace, Christian reader, it is well
to remember, is gradual work 1t increases
little by little. This is the general law. There
are some exceptions to show the working of
Gods mighty power, bat these rare exceptions
only establish the rule more fully and should
lead Christians to put confidence in the usual
mode. And it is usually important to remem-
Der the simple arrangements by which it is usual
ly attended, to wit They that wait on the
Lord renew thei. strength ''Wait on the
Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thy
heart -

Earnest Prea ching.

[ have been reading an article on the Elo-
quence Of the Pulpit, in Montauban's Rerue
TheologiQue, written by Adolphe Monod Itis
one of the best things ever read on the subject.
He makes elocution to depend on the inward
conception and feeling. The work must begin
from within.
The great reason why we have so little good
preaching is that we have so little piety. To
be eloquent one must be earnest he must not
only act as if he were in earnest, or he can not
be effective.
We have loud and vehement, we have smooth
and graceful. we have splendid and elaborate
preaching, but very little that is earn ST. The
man who so feels for the souls of his hearers as
to be ready to weep over them, will assuredly
make himself felt This is what makes him eff
fective-he really feels what he says. This made
Cookman eloquent. This especially was the
charm of Summerfeld, above all men | eyer
heard. We must aim, therefore, at high degrees
of warmth in our religious exercises, if we would
make an impression upon the public mind.
Oh that the preachers we have were inspir-
ed with greater zeal! Without any increase of
numbers, the very men we now have, if actua-
ted with burning zeal for God, might work a
mighty reformation in our country.-J W.
Alexander.

The heavy hand of poverty and prostration
| is added now to the burthen OF political evils
and difficulties under which we labor and suf-
fer; but assduous and faithful application will
be sure to remove its pressure, and to restore
and enhance the wealth and splendor which
formerly blessed our people.
| 1t is, indeed, we imagine, no overpowerlng
| misfortune that our people are not engaged in
| the complicated and tiresome political agitations
of the times. However fascinating to some
minds may be the clamor and false light of glory
which belongs to such contests, they are rarely
attended with any solid profit to those who
participate in them We would not depreciate
or decry that concern for the welfare of the
State, which every patriotic citizen should feel
and display; but we do consider that in trying
and troublesome times like the present, it is
tunes by the exercise of industry and frugality,
rather than waste our time and thoughts upon
evils which we have no power or influence to
abate.
The duty under which every good man is
placed in these times, to work for the resto1a-
ton of his fallen fortunes, cannot be too often
or too urgently enforced. To discharge this
duty fully and faithfully, it is not necessary that
the State be abandoned without defence or re-
monstrance to the hungry brood of political
cormorants who are eagerly waiting to rend and
devour her; but it Is necessary that every wild
scheme of individual preferment, and all vague
regrets for the faded splendors and dissipated
dreams of the past, should give way to prac
tical realization of the present-its demands and
its duties-and disposition to adapt ourselves
to the changed circumstances and conditions
that surround u.s. .a
Virginia will yet recover the crown of power
and glory that once adorned her temples. Her |
future rests in the hands OF her sons; and these
we feel sure, will be faithful to that high and |
sacred trust. Of old time her glory was made |
world wide and eternal by the trusty blades of |
her soldiers the living words of her orators, the
wisdom and patriotism of her statesmen sons |
In the descendants of these she can confidently |
and fondly repose her full trust-and in our |
own life time they will accom- pish her regenera-
tion and give back all the glory she has lost =

Worth Remembering.

Spare moments are the golden dust of time.
He who sends the storm, guides the YES
sels -"
Multitudes express opinions; few form them.
Meekness and modesty are the rich and
charming attire of the soul.
Be MUCH with God in secret, as He shall be
with you in public
No man has right to do as he pleases, ex~
cept when he pleases to do right.
Think little Of yourself, and you will not be
injured when others think little of you.
Tears are natures lotion for the eyes. The
eyes see better for being washed with them.
A Thousand parties of pleasure do not leave
a recollection worth that of good action.
He who is not willing to fill place he is
fitted for, will find no place fitted for him to
fill.
Scandal is a bit of false money, and he who
passes it is frequently as bad as he who origi-
nally utters it.
Forget injuries and remember benefits if
you grant favor, forget it; if you receive one,
remember it.
Divine love is like rod of myrtle, which, as
Pliny reports makes the traveller who carries
it in his hand so lively and cheerful, that he
never faints or grows weary.

The Sweetest Word.

One sweet word of holy meaning
Cometh to me o. er and DER,
And the echoes of its music
Linger ever-evermOre
Trnst-no other word we utter
Can so sweet and precious be.
Turning all lifes jarring discords
Into heavenly harmony.
Clouds of thickest blackness gathered
Der my souls dark sea of Sin,
And the port of heaven was guarded
From my guilty entering in;
Then came Jesus, walking to me
Der the surging waves of sin,
Calling clear above the tempest,
He that trusteth, heaven shall win."
Now, through all the sacred pages,
Where my woe and doom had been,
Clean those golden words of promise,
He that trusteth, heaven shall winr
Blessed, sure, and blood-bought promise
Let me drink its sweetness in;
He that trusts his soul to Jesus,
HE that trusteth, heaven shall win"
Tratst-O Saviour give its fullness
TO me at thy feet in prayer;
Grant my dying lips to breathe it,
Leave Its lingering sweetness there
Sweetness there, to stay the breaking
Of the hearts that love me so;
Whispering from my silent coffin,
Trust the hand which laid me low p
Loved ones, as ye rear the marble
Pure above my waiting dust,
Grave no other word upon it
But the holiest, sweetest-TRUsT; '
For this password know the angels,
Guarding at the pearly door
Pocc word fo HE h1occa1 ,1roeonoo
Whom [ trust forever more

step lightly away to his task. 1t was thel
nearly twelve clock and she sought her owl
| chamber. a
Barney was sitting at his vigil and so far al
had been well. The night seemed very long
for he had no means of counting the time. A
| times thrill went through him, for it seemed
as if he could hear low suppressed breathing
not far away; persuaded himself that it wa!
| the wind, blowing through the crevices of the
old house. Still it was very lonely and not al
all cheerful. t. ii8
The face in the coffin cleaned white still.
The rats squeaked as if there was famine up
on them and they smeled the dead flesh The
thought made him shudder. He got up and
walked about, but something made a slight
noise behind him, and he put his chair with
his back against the wall, and sat down again.
He had been at work all day, and at last grew
sleepy. Finally he nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody had
touched him. He awoke with start, and saw
nobody near, though in the centre of the room
stood white figure.
Curse you, get out of this - he exclaimed
in alright using the first words that came to
his tongue
The figure held out its right arm and slowly
approached him. He started to his feet. The
spectre came nearer, pressing into the corner.
1.-The mischief take you - cried Barney in
his extremity
Involuntarily he stepped back still the fig
ure advanced, coming nearer and nearer as if
to take him in a ghostly embrace. The hair
started up on Barney's head; he grew desper-
ate and just as the cleaning arm would have
touched him, he fell on the ghost like a whir-
wind, tearing the sheet, humping, pounding,
beating and kicking, more and more enraged at
the resistance he met, which told him the
truth. s-I-..-y 5
I As the readers know, he was big, and Fritz
was little and while he was pummelling the
little fellow terribly, and Fritz trying to get
lunge at Barney stomach, to take the wind
out Of him, both kicking and plugging like
horses they were petrifed by hearing a voice
cry: -
''Take one of your size, big Barney"
Looking around they saw the corpse sitting
up in his coffin. This was too much. They
released each other and sprang for the door,.
They never knew how they got out; but they
got home in hot haste, painting like stays.
1t was Barbara herself who came and opened
the door next morning.
''It's very early one more little nap,' said
he ''one more little nap, . turning over in his
coffin.
So she married him, though she sent Fritz
and Barney invitations to the wedding they did
not appear. IF they discovered the trick, they
kept the knowledge to themselves, and never
willingly faced Barbara laughing eyes
