Resolutions on the Death
of Rev. Henry Bryson,
.. D.

Passed bp the Associate Reformed
Presbytery of Tennessee.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God
in his wise and holy Providence
to remove by death since our
last meeting, Rev. Henry Bry-
son, DID,, the oldest member
of this Presbytery, and its faith
err and founder, therefore be it
Resolred, ISt, That we bow
submissively to the will of God
who has thus taken from us and
from his long and useful labors,
His true andfaithful servant and
called him home to his rest and
reward in Heaven.
ReSoEred, End, That we ex-
press our sense of the great loss
we have sustained in the death
of one so wise in counsel, so eff

of this Presbytery, its pastors
and people.
Resolued, 3rd, That we here
by render our feeble tribute to
his exalted worth, and express
our sincere conviction, that in

NAL, and unerring devotion to
duty; in the efficiency Of his
early missionary work, his great
success in the pastoral Office, his
rare tact and skill in searching
out and training young men for
the ministry, he has left an ex-
ample worthy of the highest
praise and of universal admira-
ton.
Resolved, 18th, That we hear
tiIy bless and praise God for
His rich, free and sovereign grace
so abundantly bestowed upon
his humble servant by which he
was what he was, and by which
he was enabled to accomplish so
much for the glory of God and
the church.

by express our heartfelt sympa-

Cuba.

in Cuba which some dignity
with the name revolution"
and which others call the F1n-
surrection, Seems determined to
last until all earthquake tum-
bles the island into the sea, or
some Other natural phenomena
makes continuance of the war
impossible. The human mis-
cry it has cost and is likely to
cost in the future is incalculable,
both for the want of statistics
and because of our inability to
measure bodily suffering. But
the value of the property that
kas been destroyed may be esti-
mated and measured.
Since the Cuban forces under
Maxine Gomez and other in
surrectionists crossed the line
of Notifications known as the
Trocha they have destroyed
property whose value is only
estimated by millions. With
an army of several thousand
men Gomez, in March of the
present year, invaded a number
of districts in the great sugar
producing portion of the island,
and the total value Of the estates
destroyed since that time foots
up to the enormous sum of $685.
100000. This is the approx
mate value Of the estates previ-
Gus to the war. Extending
this study over the whole period
ofthe war in Cuba, and it would
make a fearful showing. Ad-
ded to the actual loss of real es-
tate by fire and rapine, and the
destruction Of sugar, is the loss
accruing from the stagnation
of industry and the cost Of car
rying on the war.
And now all this for what?
All this war, this misery, this
financial ruin, this anarchy
and this bloody strife exists
and has existed to what pur-
pose? Some will tell US that it
is for the advance of that bless
ed thing which men call Glib
erty." Others equally ardent
in speech and eager to express
themselves will say that it is to
maintain the authority of law
and to preserve order in the
land. But unto one the voice
of humanity says in the words
of Madame Roland, 90 Liber-
ty, how many crimes are COM
mitted in thy name" while I'M
to the other she says, i'll the
same spirit in which she spoke
to Louis XIV. and Charles l..
Justice is above all law, and
the great author of events
will never prosper those who
seek to establish a tyrant's pow
er among a people Who deserve
to be free.
Spain, wretched and feeble
at home, with government
which in one hour knows not
that it will exist the next, and
with treasury impoverished
to the last degree of penury,
has sought to maintain among
a liberty-loving people the same
despotic authority which for
two years and more she has la
bored to overthrow at home.
Cuba, infatuated with the gent
us of a neighboring great Ke-
public and more ambitious to
initiate in her own little way,
then she is content to let events
evolve out of the development
of conditions, has imagined
that with the sword and the
torch she could drive a foreign
power from off her soil and
build an Utopia. Both people
have erred just as all nations
err when they fail to recognize
a providence in history and the
existence of political evolution.

Offensive People.

If to be good man and successful
man is offensive to the world at large,
to be praised is exasperating. No
greater unkindness can be done to. any
man than to praise him much. People
generally will stand moderate compli-
ment paid to neighbor. while they are
left to qualify it, or to admit it as a
matter Of generosity or courtesy; but
praise persisted in will ruin the reputa-
tion of anybody. There is nothing
more offensive to the average human
being than persistent laudation bestow-
ed upon another. To hear q man
warmly praised is sufficient usually to
make US hate him ; and it is only neces-
sary to have the praise repeated often
enough to make us desire to shoot him
Praise is one Of the articles we would
like to have distributed little-not
that we want it, but the object of it is
not the best man-if we know our
selves. Virtue is q good thing, tenn
perance is good thing, genius is not
a bad thing altogether but no man is
to be mentioned SO many as ten times
as having either Of them in possession
without making his name stencil and
an ofense to the nostrils OF sensitive
world. The true way of getting along
well in the world is not to make ones
self offensive to ones friends by excel
lence Of character and habits Of life, by
success, or by doing anything praise
worthy. Let Us strike the average as
nearly as possible. Let us be good fel-
lows rather than good men, and choke
the first man who dares to ascribe to
us single virtue. Let us all keep
down and out of sight All that we do
for ourselves, and all that we do for
mankind, only feeds hell with SANDER
ers, and so betrays the baseness Of
human nature that we may we'll blush
to think that we are members of the
human race.-Dr. j. G.. Holland;

H-9s HAIR
- ARElGEWEH
Every year increases the populari-
ty yofthifs valuable Hair Preparation
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard ;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADEpHA1R to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken..
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics. prevents the hair from falling
out. as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair q splendid Gossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
aThe constituents are pure, and care-'
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
