There is one social dishonor about which
no one thinks il worth while to say much
in reprobation, but which does more harm
than any other known TO us-we mean the
dishonor of repeating conversations, opin-
ions, circumstances, not made under promise
of secrecy, but which high sense of honor
would treat as confidential, il haply high
sense of honor were the rule. 1t is odd
that one of the best things boy learns at
school is to eschew tale-bearing and keep
faith with his companions, while one of the
most common practices of society is to be
tray the trust contained in talk, and repeat
to all what has been told in implied conf.
dence to one. This habit of repeating what
we hear is as fatal TO the best Intercourse of
minds as to the finer feelings of society.

Mark the Texts.

There is a beautiful thought of the
lamented DIR. James Hamilton. Suppose
that every one were to mark in golden let
ters the text which has been the means of
saving souls. The Apostle Paul would mark
the words, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me p for it was these words, spoken
by Jesus from the dazzling light that made
him new creature. In the Bible of the
Macedonian jaior the letters would be found
at Acts xvi 81" Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved :" for
embracing this simple offer he reioiced, be-
lieving III God with all his house Martin
Luther would print the text, The Just shall
live by faith, in gold, for that text, spoken
by the gentle lips of the vicar.general
guided him to peace and the young monk
of Eriurth, reduced by fasts, and tears, and
struggles to the verge of the grave, found
rest in the wounds of Jesus. In the Bible
OF Bunyan the mark would be found at
Yet there is room" 1t was through the
lattice OF these words he first saw the
cross, and he thought God put them into
the Bible 10 meet his special case. And
the lronside soldier would indicate Eccle-
siastes xi o; for il was there the bul-
let stopped which, but for the interposng
Bible, would have pierced his breast and
when the battle was over he read, Rejoice,
o young man, in thy youth, and let thy
heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth
and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in
the sight OF thine eyes but know thou that
for all these things God will bring thee into
judgment"

were closed indefinitely; that under exist

all the advance received was given to the

For years David AlliDgsworth suffered
with rheumatism, and notwithstanding
the best medical attendance, could not
find relief He came to the Sciota Coun-
ty Poorhouse, aud had to be carried into
and out of bed. en- account of his helpless
condition. After the failure OF all the
remedies which hand been applied, the
Directors of the Poorhouse resolved to use
the celebrated German Remedy, ST.

solution; fur, with the trial of one bottle
the patient was already much better, and
when four bottles had been used upon him
he could again walk about without the use
