The skcptical and licentiousl Shaftcs-
bury once visited Fenclon, in France,
and on hisrcturn said to an intidel friend
that he was obliged to tear himself away
sooner than he designed, or the charm of
Fcnelon's Christian character would have
made hima Christian. DIR. Chalmers has
some earnest words on the power of a
Christian life, worthy of being pondered
by every Christian:
"1'here is an energy of moral suasion
in good mans life passing the highest
efforts of the genius. The seen but silent
beauty of holiness speaks more eloquent,
ly of God and duty than the tongues of
men and angels. Let parents remember
this. The best inheritance parent can
bequcath to a child is virtuous exam
Pile, legacy of hallowed remembrance
and associations. The beauty of holi-
ness bcamng through the life of loved
relative or friend, is more cffcctual to
strengthen such as do stand in virtues
way, and raise up those that are bowed
down, than prccept, command, entreaty,
or warning. Christianity itself, believe,
owes far the greater parts Of its moral
power, not to the precepts and parallels
of Jesus Christ, but to his own character
The beauty of that holiness which is en-
shrincd in the four biographies of the
Man of Nazareth has done more, to re-
generate the world, than all other agencies
put together. 1t has done more to

The Cleveland Ohio, Taxpayers have
organized tax-lcagte, for the purpose
of reducing taxation to the lowest limit.
1t appears from their statements that
there has been for sometime II falling off
of twenty-five million dollars a year in
the valuation of property in Ohio and Il
steady increase of expenses. The area
of cultivated land has decreased two
hundred and twenty thousand acres in the
last six years. The Cleveland taxpayers
propose to get relief from taxation by
charging the amount of taxable prop
erty. They propose to have the ten
thousand liquor shops in Ohio taxed
heavily, also the hospitals, monastcries,
converts, school buildings and churches.
In Cleveland the tax rate has gone up
from one dollar and ninety-cight cents to
two dollars and lifty-four ccuts since

Old Plnn For Curing Meat.

As the season has arrived when cur
ing meat is in order, we republish, as Of
old, our famous recipe for curing beef,
pork, mutton, hams, &c, as follows:
To one gallon Of water take one and one
half pound Of sugar, one-half-ouncc Of
saltpctcr and onc-half ounce of potash.
In this ratio the pickle can be increased
TO any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar rises to the top and is skinned
off Then throw it into tub to cool,
and when cold pour it over your beef or
pork. The meat must be well covered
with pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after the killing,
during which time it should be slightly
sprinkIcd with powdered saltpetcr, which
removes all the surface blood, &c, lcav-
ing the meat fresh and clean. Some
omit boiling the pickle, and find it to
answer well, though the operation Of
boiling purilics the pickle by throwing off
the dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. If this recipe is strictly followed,
it will require only a single trial to prove
It's superiority over the common way or
most ways Of putting down meat, and
will not soon be abandoned for any other.
The meat is unsurpassed for sweetness,
dclicacy and freshness of color.-Gcr-

In conversation witha reporter, Repre-
sentative Manning, of Mississippi said
that one Of the. most important things
Tor the south is to have the next
census show what proportion Of the cot
ton crop is produced by white labor
Said Mr.. Manning; "Our northern
friends look upon us in the south as n
lazy, lndolcnt people. They think that
the negroes perform all the labor in the
cotton fields; that CulIy alone, with his
woody head and Hat feet, can stand the
exposure of the sun. Why, the white
hands of our white men and women, and
children, too, of the south, have pro-
duccd thrcc-iifths of this years cotton
crop, which will reach total of nearly
10000 bales. White labor raises from
- to ~ per cent. more cotton to the acre
than colorcd labor That is fact well
known IN our country. Now, if we can
only get these statistical facts before the

would be worth millionsof dollars to the
south. We have the most fertile soil on
the globe, and when the whites can bt

labor, they will 90 there. The great
need OF the south is to induce white emf

that will be accomplished when we show
the error OF the impression that the eli

Advice to Professional Men.

To professional men, men of business,
and, indeed, all who are engaged in pur,
suits requiring more or less severe men,
tai work, coupled with more or less con-
fnement, exercise, is, of course, the con-
ditionsine qua non of the recreation to be
recommended. The fact is so obvious
(says writer in the Nineteenth Cen
tury) that need not dwell upon it fur
ther than to make one remark. This is
to warn all such persons that feelings are
no safe guide as to the amount of mus
cular exercise that is requisite for main
tanning full and sustained health. By
habitual neglect of sufficient exercise the
system may, and does, accommodate its
elf to such neglect; so that only may
the desire for exercise cease to be a fair
measure of its need, but positive ex-
haustion may attend a much less amount
of exercise than is necessary to long con-
tinuance of sound health. However
strong and well, therefore, a man may
feel, notwithstanding his neglect of exer-
else, he ought to remember that he is
playing most dangerous game, and that
sooner or later his sin will find him out
either in the form of dyspepsia, liver,
kidney or other disease, which 50 surely
creep upon the offender against natures
laws of health. According to DIR. Parkes
the amount of exercise that a healthy
man ought to take without fatigue is at
least that which is required for raising
$50 foot-tons per diem. This in mere
walking would, in the case of a man of
ordinary weight, be represented by a
walk of between eight and nine miles
on level ground, or one mile up toler-
ably steep hill; but it is desirable that the
requisite amount of exercise should be
obtained without throwing all the work
upon one set of muscles. For this rea-
son walking ought to be varied with
rowing, riding, active games, and, where
practicable, hunting or shooting, which,
to those who are foud of sport, constitute
the most perfect form of recreative 6Xer

All horses must not be fed in the same
proportion, without regard to their ages,
their constitutions or their work, for it
is the basis of disease.
Never use bad hay, because there is no
proper nourishmcnt in it.
Damaged corn is injurious, because it
brings on inflammation Of the bowels
and skin diseases.
Chat is better for very old horses than
hay, because they can chew and digest it
better.
Hay orgrass alone will not support Il
horse under hard work, because there is
not sufficient nuirtivc body in either
Oats do best for horse doing hard
work There is more nourishmcnt and
discriminating material in oats than hay.
Rack feeding is wastcful. Chopped
food ina mangcr is better, because the
food is not there thrown about, and is
more easily chcwcd and digcstcd
A tablespoonful of salt in bucket Of
water sprinklcd over hay will be rclishcd

are not only glad of this action on ac-
count of its great prospective benefits

on account Of ourselves and thousands

ccrncd in the future immunity of that
city from the scourgc of ycllow-icvcr.
Indeed, the whole country is interested
in this matter, for it is one Of national
concern, 50 much so, indeed, that we do
not think congress would exceed its au-
thority in granting such aid toward the
suppression and prevention of that
plague as might be beyond the rcsour-
ccs and possibilities of those directly
concerned. At all events, we hope the
people Of Memphis and state of Tcnncs-
see, without regard to outside help, will
put forth their greatest efforts, and OK
pend their utmost energies and means
to rescue their faircst and greatest city
from the ruin that another epidemic
would bring upon it. They are now on
the right track, and we bid them God
speed in their heroic efforts, and hope
that out of the nettlc danger they will
pluck the flower of safety, and that the
accumulating blessings of renewed
period of unparalleled prosperity will
, reward their labors and sacrifices

Inspiration.

Yes, the inspiration of the human

when the event has come = this SURPRISES
poetic fancy, this surpasses philosophic
analysis; the conception of it does not
surpass the power of Gods Spirit. Men
call such states fanatic. Rather, they
reveal the unsounded capacities of the
human soul-how much of God it can
receive and hold. They cast a light,
solemn and joyful, upon immortality,
and show how wondrous its experience
may be. But above all, they reveal the
transcendent energy of Gods Spirit,
silent but mighty in the soul, lifting it
to levels which all its thoughts could
never have attained and never have con-
ceived. That which is impossible with
men is possible with God-possible as it
is for him to paint the rainbow by flash
of light on the retreating storm. Try to
emulate that if you will. Bring the lad
dcrs and set them up. Bring your scat

to sketch the falling drops into the pris-
matte brightness of the rainbow. God
