4 Want Of Energy and Appreciation.

\ want of energy causes people to
neglect very important business that
would elevate them in society and pro-
IN IT. tue + genera. wcliar, u ri the God
of others, both in Il religious and intel
10 'tuul point of view. \ want of en-
cigy often causes them to shrink from
duty, and in consequence of thiS,uuth-
ing is done toward the erection o.
places of pablo worship, osinslitutiDns
of learning. This Is ah hgrnf improv
mcnt. Millions of people arc making
rapid steps in 0rdcrtu promote christi
anity aud education throughout the
whole world, and shall our densely
populated H,ighborhooG with her mag
uIicent farms and farming facilities
fold its arms and remain perfectly dor
mant until we shall have refrigerated
into the worst of hcathcnish darkness.
We cannot remain rs We arc-we must
either improve, or retl'ngrnde into n
complete state decentralization. What

hi ! on, taxing into consideration the

world. They are so welded to the old
frontier life that they can not use
enough moral courage to promote the
cause of education as others dom more
remote regions. 1t is not because they
are too poor to build house, but neg
lcct upon their part. look upon this
ncighborhood as being ofthc wealth
lest in San Saba county, and hence it
is not poverty that keeps our good
brctheren and people from building II
church and paying their pastor who las
been doing them service, but want of
energy and appreciation for the cause
of Christ. o! that we had more cncr-

with joy. An elderly looking he Pagan

custom in England, when damping linen
preparatory to ironing, for water to be
prinkled with the fingers. The idolnters

such plan. Beside him stood bowl of
water, and having deitly spread out the
article on which he was engaged, he
stopped, and plunged his countenancc
into the basin, filling his mouth with
the water. This he blew out through
his lips, in shower Of spray, on to the
linen, and certainly accomplished the
damping process with extreme mpidity,
if not with commendable taste. Some
other of the Chinese notions of laundry
work are peculiar, but they certainly
turn ont their clothes well.
