GnARn YOUR CoNyERsAr1oN.-It

GUARD Your CoNvERsAT1oN.-If
YOU say anything about neighbor or
friend. or even a stranger, beware of
speaking ill. It is brotherly charity to
suppress knowledge of evil of one an
other, unless our higher public duty com
pels us to bear accusing witness; and If it
be true charity to keep our knowledge OF
such evils to ourselves, much more should
we refuse to spread the evil report of an
other. Discreditable as the fact is, it is
by far the commonest tendency to sup
press the good we know of our neighbors
and friends. We act in this matter as
though we felt that by pushing our fellows
forward we should injure ourselves. We
are Jealous of commentator unless we
get the larger share.
Social conversation, as known to every
observer, is largely made up of what is
best understood by the term scandal. 1t
would be difficult to find q talkative
group of either sex, who could spend an
hour together without evil speech OF
somebody. BLESSED are the peace-ma-
kers" is not the maxim by which we are
chiefly governed in our treatment OF per-
sonalities. Better thousand times stand
or sit dumb than to open our lips ever so
eloquently in the disparagement of others.
What we should do in this, as in all other
human relations, is to practice the golden
rule. If we do unto Others as we would
that others should do unto US, we shall
be exceedingly careful not to volunteer
III words about them. Where other
than q good word is to be spoken, let it
be spoken, to the person concerned, that
he may know your motive is not Idle,
cowardly, and sinister, and that he may
have a chance to defend himself.-&lect-

THE WONDERFUL SNAKE OF KEN
TUCKY.-While out hunting on last
Tuesday, Mr.. Richard Ives discovered a
large cave in the side of bill under a
rock, and while opposite heard the squeal-
ing of pigs inside, and stepped closer to
the mouth of the cave to investigate the
matter, and to his horror saw protruding
the head of an immense rattlesnake with
pig in its mouth, which was about four
months old, and weighed about seventy.
five pounds. He summoned a number OF
his neighbors with guns and pitchforks,
who built a large fire at the mouth of the
cave, in order to drive the snakes out
In about an hour they commenced pour
ing over the burning Goals. AS they ap-
preached in sight the parties fired upon
them from the top of the cliff. They
continued to pour out until the surround
ing woods for twenty yards square were
literally covered with dead and live
snakes. They killed 80, but many made
their escape. The largest one killed.

round the body one and a half
feet. The next largest, female,
was seven feet long and measured
one foot round the body. The largest
snakes have been preserved in alcohol
and will be on exhibition at our fair, free
of charge. The snake referred to had ITO
rattles. The cave was literally filled with
heads of sheep, pigs, etc., which had been
captured from the surrounding country.

The House of REPRESENTATIVES

The House of Representatives unan-
imously adopted a resolution, offered by
Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, resembling and
expunging so much Of the resolution
censuring John Young Brown, of Ken
lucky, passed by the last Congress, as
charged him with prevarication in his
controversy with Gen. Butler, of Massa-
chusetts. In seconding the resolution
Mr.. Blaine paid a tribute to Mr. Browns
high character and sustained his veracity.
The House has but performed an act OF
justice in expunging record which nev-
er could have gone upon the Journal ex-
cept through strong party feeling.
- The editor of the Hopkinsville Era
asks, with the air of one who has had
losses: GLOW are the people of the
United States to enjoy the Centennial
celebration when they are haunted by
the consciousness that, Notwithstanding
their existence as nation covers a period
of one hundred years, they have never
invented a noiseless shooting gun by
which burglars and other pests might
be killed without disturbing the po'
ice"

Young Mems Christian Association.

The best hopes of the ultimate success
of Christian religion are founded IN Its
adaptibility to the wants and conditions
of all classes. The surest way to attain
this success is the adoption of such expe-
dients as will best make the good work
progressive and in accordance with the
spirit of the age.
The organization of the Young Mems
Christian Association few years ago
was an important move forward. 1t at
once awakened profound interest in the
Young men of the land and engendered
in them feeling of responsibility and
proprietorship in part at least, OF the
gospel work.
The results of the happy conception
were apparent at once. Branches of the
new association sprang up in all the lead
ing cities in the country, and young men
who had hitherto been without the reach
of religious agencies were broug ht within
the reach of holy and everlasting intiu-
ences. The church should always be
kept prominent as the great means OF
salvation, but the idea that the church
needs auxiliary influences cannot be too
strongly impressed. At present there is
no organization outside of the church
from which more good can be expected
than this association all over the country,
who pledge themselves to work for the
elevation and sanctifcation of their fell
lows. An appeal from one young man
to another has power which does not
lie in the exhortation of superior. One
invites his subject as brother, the other
advises as one higher in dignity and inn
portance; one has warm sympathetic
and fellow feeling with him whom ne
seeks to influence, the other is deprived
of these aids, and his words are too often
but cool precepts.
The value of the labor of young men
among their fellows being admitted, the
Young Mems Christian Association is
logical deduction. No other means ever
awakened them so lively to the work it
was their special province to perform.
There was never so many young men at
work in the vineyard of his Master
They feel that it is their work, they have
the responsibility resting on their shout
ders, they often labor with zeal which
put to the blush the efforts of tagging
Christians. Such is the Young Mems
Christian Association. Our State is
already the field of its ardent energy,
and the efforts of its shooting influences
are now apparent. Need it be said that
such an association must meet with the
approval of all who cling to the church
as to the ark of safety.
The State Convention held in this city
indicated the extent to which its infiu-
ence has extended. 1t is in the hands of
young, active, brave men. Its success is
written on the scroll of the future in such
bright letters that we can always see
them shining through.-Atlanta COnstitu-

The murderer accomplished his work of
death most efectually and Systematically,
the only failure being in the attempt to
burn the house.
1t is said that old soldiers who had
been accustomed to scenes of death and
blood never saw anything more horrify-
ing than the sight which was presented
on entering the house where these people
were murdered the evening before and

or garden crop, the plants should not be

tivator is always so glad to see. At first
the roots of the plants will Illuminate in the

have travelled to the outer limits OF the

thoroughly poor soil. This will check the
luxuriant growth, and tend to induce
