A Doctors Opinion OF Hot Springs.

DR.. T. o, Summers, jr,, who went on
the exclusion to Hot Springs with other
delegates to the Tennessee medical
society from Memphis, says in a letter to
the Christian Advocate We are con.
WINGED OF what we have long believed,
that there is no curative agent in the
waters except heat, The only difference
between this and other water is that the
one is heated under ground and the other
above it.. One is warmed by the heated
rocks over which it flows, and the other
by lighting a fire beneath it. As 10 the
manner in which this underground heat
is developed, we have only this to say
that any one may practically test it by
taking a tumbler and mixing equal
quantities of pure and suIphuric acid,
and seeing now long he can hold the
tumbler in his hand. Chemical decom.
position is going on beneath these rocks
all the time, keeping them continually
hot, and the water flowing over them
takes aboard the heat and conducts
it to the surface ,-'only this, and nothing
more The cures effected at the springs
are accomplished by therapeutic agents,
rendered more effective by the adjuvaht
action of heated water upon the elimina-
tors or emunctories of the system. DR.,
Brooks, whose name has been indissolubly
connected with Hot Springs notoriety, is
now in Chicago eiecting the same cures
with his medicines and good, honest
Lake Michigan water as ever he did in
the heated pools of the Ozark valleys.
But it is, indeed, at once an interesting
and pitiab'e sight. How terrible the
lesson which one mayhere read-to look,
among sufferers, upon the poor, shattered
wrecks Of once stalwart frames, stranded
upon the rocks of that great social evil
which eats like a canker at the very
heart Of nations, and throttles the civil
izing influences of religion and science.
There they stand, a by Bethesda,s pool,
waiting to step into the healing waters--
waiting daily until the sickening scene
Of their ruined lite is DER, for the end
Of these things is DEATH"

There IL no situation in life which
affords 80 much comfort and enjoyment
AS. that of having body and mind con.
stantly employed. Although there
appears to be in the minds OF most people
II natural antipathy to labor, yet it il
well known, and generally admitted by
those whose circumstances have at times
required incea-ant labor, and at other
times perfect leisure and exemption from
care, that there is vastly more enjoyment
in industry than in idleness. 1t il the
plain and express duty of every person
to be industrious, and to improve every
hour Of their time in the full exercise oil
their natural strength and faculties in the
most useful employment. No circum.
stances IN lie can furnish an excuse for n
neglect Of this duty, We would not, in
these remarks, wholly prescribe recrea
ton but well balanced minds will find
the most healthy and pleasant recreation
in exercises which are decidedly useful
and beneficial to themsel yes and others.
For example A boy takes pleasure in
the exercise Of hauling a little cart
loaded with earth or stones, though
there be no advantage in the removal OF
those articles; but does he find any less
pleasure under a consciousness OF doing
good, when removing the same materials
from a place where they were an ncum
brance, TO another place where they are
wanted? Certainly not. Or ii a miss
finds pleasure in walking in the fields,
that pleasure is rather enhanced than
otherwise, if she can accomplish some
thing useful by the walking,
IT is Il common thing for men, during
their labor, to derive an enjoyment from
the anticipation of the pecuniary COM
pensati0n which they are to receive
therefor, but this kind of enjoyment is
Tar inferior to that of one who r%eioices
bis labor in the consciousness
performing n duty, aud a sense OF
appreciation The scriptures of
truth, which alone furnish per-
feet laws and rules of duty, and guide
to h%appiness, contain many injunctions
t, industry and diligence in business,
and that for the purpose not OF acquir.
ing wealth, bat Of doing good. The
word "avarice," is not to be understood
to imply a desire of earning or gaining,
but OF retaining or boarding what has
been acquired Of wealth. But our sub
JecL.is the duty OF industry and diligence.
If any mar entertains and cheIishes the
true principle Of sympathy and beneve.
lenCe, deriving more pleasure in relieving
the sutlerings Of his fellow mortals, than
in the possession OF such articles OF
wealth AZ are utterly indispensable, there
will be no danger OF his being either idle
or miserly, But the neglect of improve,
ment OF AN hour OF time is as decidedly Il
crime as the wasting of money or pro.
perry; and the neglect of doing good to
when opportunity occurs, is
decidedly incompatible with the charac.
ter or hope Of a true Christian, for "he
that knoweth to do good and doeth it
not, to him it is sin"

The Country Gentleman has the fOlS
lowing sensible remarks on the impor,
tant subject Of narrowing corn and
wheat
The operation here described refers to
the use of the common harrow. which,
when passed owe the plants in spring,
may do but little injury, if everything
is favorable, and the soil of the right
character. 1t is nearly always beneficial,
for the same reason that the cultivation
OF corn increases the growth, by breaking
the crust and giving a mellow surface.
We have been for several years in the
practice OF narrowing corn in spring,
and always with successful results, by
using the smoothing harrow, which has
SOM decided advantages Over the COM
mon implements. II never uprOOts the
wheat it destroys all small weeds gives
a mellow surface TO the earth, and the
operation may be repeated two or three
times at any time when the ground il
dry enough to bear the team, from the
period when the wheat begins to grow
till a foot or more in height. IL has
never failed TO increase the CROP several
bushels per acre. not u%nirequently rs
many ~ ten and in rare cases the crop
has been nearly doubled. We have
sOwn clover seed at the last narrowing,
the operation slightly covering it, and il
has taken as well ~ when sOwn in early
spring in the usual way.

Tbs Grnce Of 0od.

am a pastor In New York, | know
u deacon IN Newark, Forty years age
we stood up to fight one another amid Q
crowd of boys, each desiring to hurt the
other, each having a heart full Of hate,
To-day we love one another, and are
both lab0ring TO save souls from eternal
death, What has made the change? We
both know well. We both say IL IL the
grace Of God, That grace Of God IL q
mighty power in the world, but men 10
leave it out in their calculations. AT
school w learn about fire and electricity,
and steam, and education, and civiliza'
ton, as the great forces at work in the
world, but we do not learn about the
grace of God, And yet you would find
millions of lersons doing good in the
world, who would tell you that the grace
Of God made them doors of good. People,
therefore, talk very unwisely when they
attempt TO account for things, and leave
out this wonderful element. ! think 1t
deserves study quite AZ much as cleo
tricity. When we examine its character
and laws carefully, we find that II Is like
the air we breathe Offered to every man,
The true light which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world" John
i;9) "The grace Of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men"
Titus ii:ll.) But we also find that it
may be resisted and despised, and 50 be
i%neiicaciOua. "Ye will not come to me
that ye might have life" (John v:40 }
" Ye do always resist the Holy Spirit"
(Acts vii,5l,) Now, all the difference
between good.doing and b%ad.doing in the
world is made by accepting or rejecting
the grace of God. When the pastor and
deacon were boys, they rejected the grace
OF God, and 80 they fought one another,
Now that they are trying to save souls
from sin, they have accepted the grace
of God. To explain their lives without
the grace of God would be like explain
ing bread-making without fire. You
might classify all the visible elements,
but unless you bring in heat as a factor
you would not explain bread. So you
could classify outward circumstances
and natural dispositions in the case OF
the pastor and the deacon, but you can.
not explain either of them without the
grace of God as the most prominent
factor. Let no one fail of the grace of
God" (Heb. lille -[Church Union.
