that "every man must in his lifetime
eat peck of dirt" which some believe
to have had its origin in smutty and
much. besooted Pittsburg. II now seems
that this has literally come true in that
dusky locality if to "drink " that

purpose; for, after numerous complaints
having been recently made to the OFF,
GERS of the water-works, mostly pre-
ferred by the foreign residents of that
city, who imagined that they could taste
something "queer" in the water, it was
at last determined by these worthless to
have a look at the water-works. AS
the result of this expedition was found
water-basin indeed, but not much
water in it, whereas it was prolific with
old leather boots and shoes, lots of cast
off clothing of Jaborers and negroes,
about dozen dead dogs and cats, fifty
or sixty tons Of coal smut, half a dozen
wash-tubs, placed there TO "soak up,'
and some schoolboys swimming. The
flavor impaired to the drinkingwater
by this mixture of rare ingredients be-
sides hydrogen, was, to say the least oi
it, peculiar, but the officers In charge o.

phical economists, think that that's ,

SINGING IN FAMILIES are
delighted with poetry at an early age;
and what is loved in early life cannot
be easily effaced in later years. A lady
informed us few days since, that when
a very little girl, she had learned hun.
dreds of hymns and poetical illusions
not of childish, but of pure and ele-
waited character. This early discipline,
she says, has been safeguard to her all
her life-a preservation against sin and
folly.
Among the German forefathers il was
a common practice, in professedly Chris
tian families, to teach their children
hymns and spiritual songs. The children
had thus useful employment afforded
them to fill up the time which would
otherwise have been spent in idleness, if
not in something worse. Frequent re-
petitions of them at intervals, prompt
ed to efforts to connect the poetry with
music, and this gradually led them to
acquire taste and cultivate talent for
singing. To this simple practice may be
attributed in a great degree, the finely
cultivated musical talent Of German
people,
Singing in the family adds greatly to
the interest of devotional exercises es.
pecially among children. 1t makes the
family altar and home circle pleasant
place. The Influences of music of socia
character have always been very happy
indeed. Show us the family where goo(
music is cultivated, erethe parents an,
children are accustomed often to mingl
their voices together in song, and W
will show you one, in almost every in
stance, where peace harmony and Low
prevail, and where the great vices hav

John weslcy's First Sermon in America.

JOHN NeAtcl's tUst 1,tfmVh III h"ciN"'
Tho Brunswick Appeal says that a
number of Methodist divines, together
with some friends, proceeded recently
to st. Simon's Island, to visit and have
photographed the venerable live oak
under the umbrageous branches of
which John Wesley, the founder of
Methodism, preached his first sermon
in America. 1t is probable that the
picture will be engraved on steel and
offered for sale.
The live oak referred to is a magniii.
cent one, and has cast its shadow upon
many lively group in the flush times
of St. Sirnon's, the Farmers Club
House, to which all the islanders were
accustomed TO resort on one day of every
week, having stood in immediate prox-
unity. For its own sake, as well AS for
its social history, the tree should be
photographed, for there is nothing ap.
preaching it on the Atlantic coast.
But we never before heard that this
monarch of the forest had religious
history. The Church of Frederick, es-
idDlloileu NY ShaiNo NSSiy, itOt oohpf
was originally located, and still stands
"a portion of its original timbers heing
yet incorporated with the oftentimes
renewed buildings-in beautiful grove
of live oaks, some half mile or more in
the rear of the town, or the site once
occupied by the town, nothing OF which
remains but few brick and tabby ruins.
John Wesly, the great founder of
Methodism, was occasionally at the
Frederick settlement, aiding in the work
of his brother-whlch, unfortunately
was not a very successful one-but his
"frst sermon in America was not
preached on st. Simon's. His first re-
| ligious ministrations in this country
were delivered on Tybec, on the arrival
of the immigrant ship that bore him
hither, and consisted Of thanksgiving
to God for the safe deliverance of him
self and passengers, having land
ed for the special purpose. This was in
February, 1916. The party then came
up the river, and John Wesley's "first
sermon in America" according to his
own private journal, was preached in
the Courthouse in Savannah on Sun
day, 18th March, 1876, the text being
the epistle for the day, the 18th chapter
of 1st Corinthians.

GROWING OLD TOO FAsT.-It may be
questioned whether the premature OF
manhood and womanhoodsoch characteris-
tic of our day, and especially the United
States, is judicious manifestation of
human power. 1t has, no doubt, the ad-
vantage of bringing into quicker activity
the forces of our great continent, which
otherwise might have had a more light
toned slumber. Men and woman with
nimble wits and flexible hands We're
greatly wanted to give immediate move
ment to the torpid resources ofthe coun-
try, and as they could not be readily OBJ
tanned, it became necessary to turn the
boys and girls into men and women.
1t is bad economy to take the days
which belong to youth and transfer them
tomanhood with the view of saving time
This always proves loss instead of
gain. There can be no sound and fruit
fuI age without full childhood. This is
true in regard to all the conditions of
life, physical, moral, and intellectual. -
The body needs the free play of every
hour ofgrowth, the mind all the unlimit-
ed range Of the wayward thought Of
childhood, and the heart the full joy
business of youthful wantonness, in order
to acquire the muscular strength, the
mental vigor, and moral buoyancy es-
sential to bear the weighty labors OF
mature life.
There is perhaps no quality more cs
sential to happiness than elasticity Of
spirits, and there is none which fails Tho
American SO soon. lie persists in hi
work, no doubt with tendency une
qualed by few,and his enterprise lasts al
long as that of the most, but the yer!
length and persistency of his labors ar,
proofs of his fiXedness and his incapacii,
to unbend. Old age with us is apt no
only to shrink the body to bones, but {
dry the soul into skeleton. This
: mainly owing to the want of that su,
culency of animal spirits which can onI
0 be stored up during long and joyou
childhood. - Western RaTal.

"Thank God for Sunday"

Now q od be thanked That he has given
Blest boon to saint and sinner
A day OF rost-one day of seven,
Where toll Is not the winner;
Rest for the tired and Jsded brain;
The wconed hand on Sunday,
That they might gather strength again
For toll renewed on Monday.
The merchant, in his dining room,
The clerk, DER desk and ledger,
The artisan, at forge or loom,
The ditcher and the hcdger--
The laborer. who must toll and slave
From early dawn OF Monday
Untll the week sinks into It's grave,
All cry Thank God for Sunday
The day that hts the weighiy chain
Which all the week hath bound us;
That respite gives the heart and brain,
From thousand cares around us;
That in She toilsomc march OF life
SO bids us take, for one day,
Rcst from the battle and the strife;
OH God be thanked for Sundnyl
lfthus by all one day of rest
Be hailed, as respite solely,
How to the Christian doubly blcst
Must be the Sabbath holy;
AS in faiths light, he lifts his eyes
To the bright world where. one day,
lie longs to spend beyond tho skies,
ono blest, eternal Sunday!

more powerful, acting and searching than the

Liver, cleaning 1t speedily from all distractions
with all tho power OF Mercury, yet free from the
Injurious results attached to the use of that
mineral.

HooFLAND's GERMAN TONIC,
Was compounded for those not Inclined to cX-

bottle of the Bitters, combined with pure SANTA
CRUZ RUM, and favored in such manner that
the extreme bitterness of the bitters Is overcome
forming preparation highly agreeable and
pleasant to the palate, and containing the medi-
cinal virtues of the Bitters. The price of the
Tonic is $3.50 per Bottle which many persons
think too high. They must take into considera-
ton that the stlmulant used is guaranteed to be
of pure quality poor article could be fur
nished at u cheaper price, but is it not better to
pay little more n have good article? A

It Will most certainly be cheated.
