REV. HI. S. Mcbride performed the
marriage ceremony for the first time
at the wedding of Mr.. Thompson and
Miss Lille Powell last week. And We
understand from those who we're eye
witnesses that he oficlated on that deli
cate occasion with all the elegance and
ease of an old and accomplished Yeter-
an. According to the Methodist econ
omy their preachers have no authority
to perform the marriage ceremony
until they have been ordained Dea-
con, which is usually done at the
end of their second year in the minis
try. Mr.. Mcbride was just ordained
Deacon at the conference last Fall,
from which he was sent to ShelbyYille.
We will TRY and arrange to give him
another opportunity to officiate before
very long,"

marrying some pretty Methodist girl

SOMEBODY once said that "conversa.
ton makes ready man; writing an
exact one. If this be true, as it
doubtless is, the Importance of seek
ing information upon all matters, and
especially that of local and national
interest, cannot be overestimated,
since conversation, to make a ready
man, must be of an intelligent charac-
ter, and writing, to make an exact
one, must be based on an intimate
knowledge of either science or facts.
The former we derive from books and
oral instruction; the latter, in the
main, from history, magazines and
newspapers. And what is now chron-
icled in the newspapers will some day
become history. In fact il is now his.
tory, thoagh regarded only in the
character of passing events To be a
ready man, then, read the newspapers;
TO ~ an exact one, write your thoughts
in book from day to day; compare
them from week to week, and thus be.
come your own critic, as well as your
own instructor.

| Nnen christian urSJ DeneIu Appel
lyon, who menaced him in the dis
lance, his first thought was to turn
and flee; but upon reflection he dis.
covered that his coat Of mail only GOV.
cred his breast, and-that he had no
armor on his back. Should he fly in
such an emergency, he would be liable
to be pierced by the shafts of the enc.
my, whatever might be their charac.
ter, and moral death, at least, was in.
evitable. Hence he resolved not to
turn his back to the foe, nor would he
turn his face to the right or the left,
lest his eye should fail to discover the
sudden change of base that might be
made by Appollyon.
If men everywhere would initiate
Christian, and never turn their backs
to the enemy, whatever lis character,
or however formidable, society would
be in no danger of being corrupted,
even by the most powerful associations
of temptation and sin. If young men
would remember that they have no ar.
NOR upon their backs, and then tram
pie sin and temptation beneath their
feet, instead Of allowing the enemy to
pierce them with the shafts of ridi-
cule,-if they would push forward
boldly for the right. and never com.
promise with vice in any form, a
great moral reformation would mark
the era, even of the present genera
ton.
If young women would remember
that their armor is kept bright only
by use, and that by pandering to pride
and false modesty they expose them
selves to temptation, to sin and to
sha ne,-if they, too, would press for.
ward in righteousness instead of halt
ing in fear, their pathway would be
strewn with flowers instead of thorns
they would capture the strongholds
of vice as if by magic, and a crown of
roses would grace their fair brows,
where now, alas, too often sits de-
spondency and gloom.
But there are other reasons why
people need no armor upon their backs
Men and women were never made to
go backwards; the Creator never in
tended them for such a purpose; their
bodies should follow the direction of
their faces, and their faces like their
armOr, should be kept clean and bright
by daily contact with light, heat and
pure water, and never should they be
besmeared with mud or filth of any
kind. The timid soul will never win
in the great battle of human life, if it
stops, or stoops to parley with sin in
any form. Lies pathway is beset
with temptations on every side, and it
is silent warfare that we must wage
to overcome them. There is silent
monitor within the breast that lends
charm to the amor which protects it.
1t is to this monitor within that we
should listen, and not to the siren
song of the tempter without. We
should never turn back but keep our
armor bright by constant use in the
great conflict which will insure to us
the reward with which virtue crowns
her admirers, and those who seek her
counsel

The Weird Method Of Teaching Reading.
Read by Miss Lizzie Curtis, of the
River Falls Normal school, before
the Teachers Association mt
Ellsworth, March 4, 1879,

Ellsworth, March 4, 1879.
Your Superintendent has asked me
to illustrate the "Word Method" OF
teaching reading to beginners. can
not do that very satisfactorily without
class of beginners before me; but
can perhaps give you some idea of how
| should proceed with such a class.
First, I should give the class no
books for the first half dozen OF more
lessons, and should prepare myself for
those lessons by selecting some words,
from the books they will use when
they have books, and teaching N.Y.
self to print them so exactly that the
children will recognize thon, like the
face of friend, when icy see the
same words in books. prefer to take
first, words flat are the NAMES of such
objects as | can present before the
class. Take, for instance, the word
cap" Bring in one of the boys
caps. Ask, what it is, whose it is,
what it is for, and such other ques-
