dentaly broken at any time, we can replace 1t at

WATCH.

Our duty in this world is accomplished by
watching and praying. Separately, neither
watching nor praying is of much Importance
The two must 60 together in order to be eff
cacious. 1t seems to be astoundingly incon-
sistent to pray to God to lead us not into
and then rush headlong into the
suares of Satan. The prayers Of many men
fail to accomplish any good, simply because
they are plainly at variance with the general
character of their acts. They pray, but do
not watch.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS, &C.

WITH pleasure inform all who desire to give
cation, but whose means are very limited, that
have made arrangements with the celebrated
"NIason e. Hamlin Organ Co.." to supply persons
with their unrivaled instrument, either at lowest
factory prices, for cash, or on monthly or quar-
terly payments upon what's called the lease prin-
ciple. Thus any one by paying only moderate
sum for the use of the instrument, can, at any
time, give it up or become purchaser; the amount
already paid being applied to the purchase. Or
person having paid the rent for four years, be-
comes the owner Of the Organ without further
payment. Call and enquire for particulars and
see the new styles, at my Photo gallery, in the
Adickes' building, where may be found during
all business hours either to show you sample or
to wait upon you if you want anything in the
Photographic line as heretofore.

PROFANE SWEARING.

One of the most heinous sins to which men
are addicted, is profane swearing. 10 take
Gods name in vain seems to be natural. The
mark would not be far missed, to say, that in
some way or other, every one is, or once was,
profane swearer. This shows very plainly
that man is by nature sinner. We make a
great ado over the poor drunkard, and prop
erly, too; but prevalent as drunkenness is,
and sinful as it is in the sight of God, taking
the name of God in vain, is more heinous
crime Unfortunately, drunkenness and pro-
family go together. There are, however,
many men who are not drunkards, who are
profane swearers. In the sight Of man, the
drunkard may be more loathsome; but in
the sight of God the profane is the greater
sinner.
Religious people are often guilty of profan'
ity in their conversation, and even in their
prayers, in that they uselessly mention the
name of God. His name is holy and reverend,
and should at all times be used reverently.

A GRANGER's DREAM.-An exchange is
responsible for the following tough one: A
Granger dreamed that he died. He went TO-
the spirit-world; he knocked at the gate OF
the New Jerusalem, and it was opened unto
him. The books we're open; he was asked,
"Did you ever belong to any secret society"
To which he replied, 81 did-to the Grang'
ers." "Then, sir, you can't be admitted; de-
part" He then went to the door OF the bot
tomless pit, where the same questions were
asked him by the devil, and agar, ne was toid ID
to depart. After he had gone little way off,
he was accosted by the homely ruler Of the
pit, when the following propositions were
made: "Stranger," said Nick, 81 will not ad-
NIT you here; they do not want you in Heayv-
en-; but 1 will sell you two hundred barrels
of birthstone for cash, ten per cent. OF, and
you can start little hell of your own, with
no agents or middle-men."

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DRoUGHr-As
drought is one of the greatest obstacles with
which the Southern farmer has to contend,
too much thought can hardly be given to the
subject, with view to counteracting its dis
astrous effects We cannot, by any means
now known, prevent the dry and heated terms
to which our climate is subject, and we again
call the attention of our readers to the impor-
tance of securing, so far as possible, such con-
ditions of the soil as will in the highest pos
sible degree fit it for the absorption and reten-
tion of moisture. Careful experiments should
be made with view to determine what are
the best means to enable our crops to resist
long continued dryness. Salt, as top dress
ing on dry sandy land, is one of the means
within our reach to mitigate the ardity. j.
j. Mechi, speaking of the value OF salt as a
top dressing for such land, says: "About
FIVE o'clock one fine summers morning. l
noticed that where the salt had been sown the
previous day, every grain of salt had attract
ed to itself the dew, and formed on the surface
of the ground wet spot about the size of a
sixpence, the ground being generally very
dry.'-Rural Carolinian for June.

DeluSiye Golden Sirup.

A recent number Of the Hearth ana
Home contains an article on Golden
Drip Sirup," commodity that is much
used in Detroit; and as the author seems
to have given the subject careful inves.
tigation we give his con illusions for the
benefit of those who love this kind OF
sweetening., He says that it has long
been known to chemists that variety of
sugar could be made from common starch,
saw dust and cotton, or woody fiber of
any kind, by treating it with sulphuric
acid The sugar thus produced is called
grade sugar, and two and half pounds
are requested to equal cane sugar in sweet
ness.
For some years this kind of sugar has
been used in the manufacture of candy
and of alcoholic liquors, and number
Of manufactures have been established
in this country. He says the greatest
fraud seems to be in the article known as
the golden drip strip. The sirup is
very superior in appearance, but often
contains not the slightest trace of cane
sugar, being made entirely from sawdust,
paper, rags, starch, and other similar
trash, treated with sulphuric acid. This
strip can always be distinguished from
Ine genuine Dy us reaCIlOn WIN an 1nIu-
sion of tannin. AS tea leaves contain a
large amount of tannin, a convenient test
is 10 put small quantity of the strip
into strong tea, and if the sirup is not
pure the liquid will become black upon
being stirred.
Tests of this kind have frequently been
made, and the mixture invariably became
as black as ink, thus revealing the spuri
Gus character Of the sirup. Some of il
was also made into molasses candy, which
upon being eaten turned the teeth and
tongue of the eaters very black. To
place the matter beyond doubt, speci
men was sent to DR.. Rose, professor OF
the laboratory department of the Michigan
University at Ann Arbor, who, after q
careful chemical analysis of the sirup
reported that the sugar it contained was
not cane but grape sugar. He stated also
that beside grape sugar the sirup con
tanned a large proportion of sulphuric
acid, together with some iron and little
tannin, and must have been made either
from old rags, boiled with sulphuric acid
in iron vessels, or from sawdust treated
in the same Way-Detr0jt Tribune.

A Laugh ALI Over the House.

SETH Snow is Boston merchant His
avoirdupois reaches beyond three hun
dred. He has ruddy countenance, and
in every way is a picture of good health
and cOntentment. He also has plethOric
pocketbook, and this, with his social &C
quirements and general jolly good
naturedness, has brought about him a
host of admiring personal friends. Ac-
companled by large number of his
townsmen he visited New York last week
on business, and went to the Grand Opera
House to see Fox. Snow took to Fox in
stantly. He smiled when Fox made his
entree, and he laughed moderately during
the prologue; but when the pantomime
was begun in real earnest and the fun of
FOX's antics gradually increased, Snow
poured forth a very Vesuvius of hyster-
ical cha! ha! ha's!' and no! no! hos Z"
until his hilarity became contagious.
His friends roared with him, and the 800
auditors joined in a merry chorus. Snow
greatly enjoyed all this. He lolled first
to oAe side and then to the other, clapped
his hands, stood up and sat down,
stamped his feet and kept up his "ho |!
hO's!" and cha ha ha's!" to such pitch
that they were heard above the din of all
the rest. The chief usher, followed by a
retinue of assistants, all convulsed with
laughter, sought to modify his demonstra-
tons of delight, but he screeched, "Ha!
ha for heavens sake don't touch me; he,
heE" and then increased the volume of
his voice. Captain Cherry and platoon
of roaring policemen next waited upon
him, and, after halfhour's effort, as
sisted by the personal friends of the
champion Laughter, lie was carried out
Neao York Sun.
