which none but q mother bestows. Often

discovers its heaven. There is no danger
that language can be too strong or too fer

shipwreck must have been struck By tn
fearful suferings to which boats crews are
exposed through the want Of fresh-water.
A boat cannot carry water-tanks of any size,
yet she cannot make a voyage without wa
ter, and often men have escaped from q
sinking vessel only to die a worse death for
want of fresh-water, in an open boat, under
a tropical SUI. This danger can now be
avoided by fitting ships boats with o very
simple and compact c~ondensing apparatus
which has just been invented and patented
by a firm in Dublin. It consists of o small
boiler heated by q parafin lamp. The steam
from the boiler, which is filed with salt
water, is condensed in a worm-tube which
passes through q receiver filled with cold
sea-water. This is placed on one side 81
the boat, and keeps the water pure and
cool. This apparatus will produce from a
pint to a pint and a-half of pure water an
hour. There is q small tank for collecting
and fltering the water, and q second tank
contains q supply of oil sufficient to keep
the lamp burning ten days. The whole o

REDUCING MINISTER'S SAIAa1Ts.-New
England economy, says the Springfield Re
publican, has struck the ministerial salaries
very generally, and few realize how wide
spread is the resulting unsettlement of the
clergy. Not all of them have left their
parishes in consequence, of course, bui
most of them are on the lookout for 3
change of field because of reduced salaries.
They don't wait to be picked up by richer
parishes either. They write directly or by
friends to introduce their claims, doctors of
divinity, lots of them. Evidence Of this
can be collected of the supply committee OF
any large vacant local church, of which
there are a good many in western Massa-
ehusetts just now, including the thrcc mos.
prominent Congregational pulpits of Berk-
shire. A good deacon, not far AWAY, hns a
pile of letters from such candidates several
feet high, and every mail adds to it.

Dancing.

The exercise of the body which takes
place in decent dancing may, in the first
place, be healthy. We can also tell by
the dance whether a person is in health,
and has no corporal defect, which Is con-
venient for those who mean to marry. One
Is also thereby aware whether a person is
Of lively or sleepy disposition, for n who
Is sleepy and maladroit cannot dance well.
Finally, at marriages and festivals, the
young ladies' know what to set about
after dinner, or to what purpose they have
put on their best apparel, especially if it
should rain or be otherwise bad weather.

A minister was once riding through a sec
ton of the State Of South Carolina, where
custom forbade inn-keepers to take pay from
the clergy who stayed with them. The minis

and ate his breakfast without prayer or

when mime host presented his bill. "Ah,

Woodruff, in evidence be- fore the court of committee, for $1 75 per rod in this town, $2.00 per rod ir New Mill  ford, including rock cuts and slaices, and $75.O0 for the bridges. The evidence was ob- jected to by the respondents, but accepted by the court and the road ordered to be built per contract to the acceptance of the County Con- missioners, by the 1st Nov. 1878. The road is of easy grado, and furnishes one of the most pleasant pleasure drives to be found any where in this section of the county. It also opens a passage for speedy travel north and south. Its use has already demonstrated the necessity that existed for it's construction. If determined and bitter opposition through the whole onaareo of obtaining and building it, IS any criterion of value, it must become one of the most useful roads in this section.

leans who sigh for prosperity" and would
be overjoyed to go into commercial pur-

of filling commercial positions. At least they
advertise for negroes to fill them. The natu-
raj supposition is that the white supply is e1-

such is not the case. Let those white men
who need employment and are capable OF
filling all positions in commercial pursuits
apply to the Citizens Conservative Associa-

the negroes, on the road to prosperity
