INFALL1BLE COUGH REMEDY-A table
spoonful of wood licorice, a tablespoonful of
slippery elm, and tablespoonful of raisins.
Cut into very small particles each ingredient.
Add pint of water, let them slowly simmer,
or keep near the boiling point, until the
strength of each is extracted. When ready
for use, there should be half pint in quanti-
ty, as water may have to be added while steep
ing. Be very particular in selecting the ma,
terial, that they be of the very best, especial
ly the licorice, which should be 80 moist that
the outside looks dark, and the wood bright
and yellow. The raisins, also, should he
moist, and cut into small pieces, but the seeds
must not be taken out. This has been known
to entirely cure cough, after months contin-
uance, as the slippery elm removes the isfia-
nation, the raisins strengthen, and the lico-
rice heals as fast as the inflammation is allayed.
A thorough trial will convince the most skep-
tical. Dose-A teaspoonful every time one
coughs or tickling sensation is experienced

THE SABBATH.-Gladstone says: "Believ.

religious institution, I must, as matter Of
course, desire the recognition of that authori.
ty by others. But, over and above this,
have myself, in the course of laborious life
signally experienced both its mental and phys
ical benefit. I can hardly overrate its value
in this view and for the interest of the work.
ing men of this country, alike in these and in
other yet higher respects, there is nothing |
more anxiously desire than that they should
more and more highly appreciate the christian
day of rest"

PROFANITY.

We are surprised at the prevalence of pro-
family almost wherever we 60. BY profanity
we mean, not so much real blasphemy, as the
careless taking of Gods name in vain. You
hear it on the streets, in the stores and shops,
in the best class of railroad cars, and even the
presence of ladies is not safeguard against
it. It is indulgod in by little boys-and
shows, of course, the influence they are under
at home it is also INDUCED in by men in the
prime of life, as we'll as by those who are
bowed down by the we ght of many years.
And all this is done in the face of the fact
God has said to every one of US: "Thou shalt
not take the name of the Lord thy God in
vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain"
God beholds the actions performed by the
hands He hears the words that fall from the
lips; and he knows the thoughts that dwell
in the heart. The very thought that he no.
tices every idle word, and that he is greatly
dispeased with those who take his name in
vain, should fill every one with seriousness
and reverence.
Profanity is a crime for which there is no
excuse. 1t is sin which has no temptation
to allure us to its commission it affords no
advantage. It grati6es no sense, it promotes
no interest, it yields no profit, and produces
no honor To indulge in this vice is to insult
God, to trife with our Creator, to abuse his
glorious character, to despise his judgments,
and provoke his dreadful vengeance.
Perhaps the best means to guard us against
this sin, is to cherish deep sense Of our duty
to God, dread of vice, and holy disdain of
folly. If these feelings are allowed to dwell
in our hearts, we cannot, without pain, hear
that name abused which angels and redeemed
ones in heaven praise, and which all holy chill.
dren and good people now on earth hope to
praise with them forever.
Profanity is perversion of the power Of
speech. It was given to man for the most
valuable and praiseworthy objects. It was
given to him that he might declare his admi-
ration of Gods works, that he might give ex-
preston to his love and gratitude to his Gre
ator, that he might celebrate his praises and
promote his honor and glory. IT, on the
other hand, we violate his holy commands
with this great gift, and profane his holy
name, we become guilty of the basest ingrat-
tude to our best Benefactor, and at the same
time we become guilty Of the greatest cruelty
to ourselves l.-.

OUR PREMIUM OFFERS.
CLUB BOOKS YET OPEN !

WITH the view of accommodating number
w of club-makers whose clubs for the cur
rent volume of the ENQUIRER are not as large
as they DESIRE we'll also as to extend to all who
may desire it the opportunity of obtaining the
paper at club rates, we have decided to keep open
our club books until the FIRST MONDAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT. Until that date, subscri-
bers will be received through club-makers, who
obtained lists under our previous offer-the club
makers being duly accredited with all names they
may return under the present proposition, which
names will be added to their former lists. New
clubs will also be received from those who may
desire to obtain any of the elegant Premiums we
offer for such service. In this connection we
would again invite attention to our
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1877-05-03

SCRAP BooKs-Every one who takes a
newspaper which he in the least degree appre-
ciates, will often regret to see any one mum.
Der thrown aside for waste paper which con-
tains some interesting and important articles:
A good way to preserve these is by the use of
a scrap book. One who has never been &C.
customed thus to preserve short articles, can
hardly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit
down and turn over the pleasant, familiar
pages. Here choice piece of poetry meets
the eye, which you remember you were so
glad to see in the paper, but which you would
long since have lost had it not been for your
scrap book. Here is witty anecdote-it
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1877-05-03

A FAMILY QUARREL.-A woman being
counted out, the other morning, after debate
on the question, "Who shall rise and build
the fre?" got up and split her husbands
wooden leg into kindling wood, and broiled
his steak with it. 1t made him so mad that
he got hold of her false teeth and bit the dog
with them She cried until she had fit of
Mysteries, and then tipped out his g lass eye,
and climbed upon the bed-post, and waxed
the glaring eye to the ceiling with bit of
chewing.gum. Then he took her wisp of false
hair and tied it to stick, and began white
washing the kitchen with it, Then she start
ed off to obtain divorce, but the judge de-
cded that he couldn't grant divorce unless
they were two parties to the suit, and there
was hardly enough left Of them to make
one.

REGULAR ATTENDANrs.-A new parson
was presented to living in remote agricul-
tural district, and, being conscientious pas
tor, was anxious to make himself at home
with his flock as soon as possible. He there
fore began his pastoral calls at once. Amongst
the first recipients of these attentions was a
farmer Jones, whose family the new parson
had noticed to be very regular, and apparent
ly very devout attendants at church. Farmer
Jones was out, but his "missus" received the
parson, when the following dialogue took
place:
Parson-"I am your rector, Mrs Jones. I
have neticed with great pleasure your regular
attendance at church, and have lost as little
time as possible, you see, in calling and i'm
proving our acquaintance"
Mrs. Jones-"Yes, sir; we're 'bliged to be
regular at church, for if we didn't 60 farmer
Smith claims that pew, and we're not goin' to
give it up for the likes of him. So my son
Peter stands at the door half an hour before
service begins to keep him out"

Power OF ExAMpLE-Casar never said
to his soldiers, "Go on" bat "Come on" So
our great Excmplar, while he commands us
to duty, hath shown US the way. Two archi.
tects we're once candidates for the building of
certain temple at Athens. The first har-
angued the crowd very learnedly upon the
different orders of architecture, and showed
them in what manner the temple should be
built. The other, who got up after him, only
observed that what bis brother had spoken he
could do; and thus he at orce gained the
cause.

The BEST RooM.-The care with which
the "best room" was kept from use by our an
cestors, and indeed is now by some of the
good country wives Of the present generation,
was illustrated in the case of good lady who
in her last illness was visited by her pastor.
Being asked if she was resigned, she re-
sponded:
81 am perfectly happy, Brother B: I have
made nv peace with the Lord, and got the
KEY of the keeping-room under my pillow"

THISTLE SEEDs.-Bad habits are the this
ties of the heart, and every indulgence of
them is a seed from which will spring new
crop of weeds. A few years ago little boy
told his first falsehood. 1t was little solita-
ry thistle seed, and no eye but Gods saw him
as he planted it in the mellow soil of his heart.
But it sprang up-O, how quickly land in
q little time another and another seed dropped
from it to the ground, each in its turn bear
ing more seeds and more thistles; and now
his heart is overgrown with this bad habit.

APT AT RHYMING.-Witi is sometimes worth
money, but it is quite essential to have good
natured customer to deal with. When Allan
Ramsay, the great Scotch poet, began life, he
was so poor that he could not meet his first
halfyear's rent. After it became due, he met
his landlord and explained his circumstances,
and expressed his distress at his failure to
meet his obligations The jolly landlord was
quite kind to him, and said that as he was a
lad of some genius, he would give him a chance
to cancel his debt with shilling. "If," said
the creditor, you'll give me rhyming an
swer to four questions in as many minutes,
I'll quit you the rent altogether" Allan said
he would try. The questions we're, "What
does God love? What does the devil love? !?
What does the world lover What do I lover"
Ramsay wrote:
"God loves man when he refrains from sin;
The devil loves man when he persists therein;
The world loves man when riches on him flow
And you'd love me ecould pay you what1 owe"
"The rent is paid" said the farmer, giving
his ingenious tenant a hearty slap on the
shoulder.
