How NutmaUS GrOW

Nutmegs grow ON little trees which
look like small pear trees, and are gen.
orally over 20 feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily of the val
ley. They are pale and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit,
and mace is the thin covering over
this seed. The fruit is about as large
as a peach. When ripe it breaks open
and shows the little nut inside. The
trees grow on the islands of Asia and
in tropical America. They bear fruit
for seventy years, having ripe fruit
upon them at all seasons. A fine tree
in Jamaica has over 1000 nutmegs en
it yearly. The Dutch used to have
all this nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banda Islands, and conquered all
the other traders and destroyed the
trees. To keep the price up they
once burned three piles of nutmegs,
each Of which was as large as a church.
Nature did not sympathize with their
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found
in all the Indian Islands, did for the
world what the Dutch determined
should not be done-carried the nuts,
which are their food, into all sur
rounding countries, and trees grew
up again, and the world had the bene-
fit

| wish to sketch, from my notes
taken at the time, colored ordination
Of 1866 or 1867, as a picture to frame
opposite what see here in 1879.
Acting on the advice given in a kind
private letter from Horace Greeley
who seemed pleased to find a South
ern man slightly of kin to his kindred
I began to try to encourage the
free laborer" My father had the
saw-mill, | had the timber and the
land, and ''Springfeld Baptist Colored
Church arose as by magic. The next
thing was ordination. Thomas Peake,
my foreman, was chosen as assistant
to DENY Murden in the pastorate. A
preacher from Augusta, Ga, came to
join in imposition of hands," and the
exercises before the examination be-
gan. The sermon was from ''Go We
into all the world and preach my Cos
pei to every creature" Some Of the
points were not bad. did God in
tend man to die? Sartinly not, but
the pizen snake bit the apple fust
Bein' ag'inst Natur' is the reason peo-
pie hate to die so bad. Now baptism
is dyin' to sin by water, and Metho-
dists and Presbyterians hate it like
they was cats. You see it's agin their
natur, like t'other dyin' is. Another
of our doctrines is: Once in grace
always in grace Once truly Chris
tian, you can't get out, though you
may hurt your head runnin' agin
Gods bucklum buckler by tryin'.
Sposen' you take new barrel an
hoop it up tight; but before you drive
down the hoops you put in another
barrel, just to fit the t'other, bulge
and all Now, drive your hoops, and
t'other don't even shake, it fits so
good. Now, how is you goin' to get
the little barrel out? The big barrel
is finished, and we don't allow no hoop
started. Little barrel is squirmin' to
get out. tell you it has to burst the
big barrel to do it! You is got in a
big barrel; and its hoops is out of the
reach of man in glory. That is
Christ. It's tighter fit than some of
you thought, and less chance to get
whisky and stolen chickens and your
neighbor's daughter in at the bung-
hole than you calculated on. You are
thar; and you have to burst Christ to
get out. You were in the horridible
| horrible pit and miry clay; but your
feet are on the Rock of Ages, and just
enough of clay yet on your hoops tc
make you stick where you are. Have
you been to Bethlehem lately? That
name means the House of Bread
That's another of our doctrines, that
God is able to keep what you have
committed to him. and that he don't
keep even a shabby old mule in his
stable that he don't feed. Go tc

Onions.

From our own experience, and the
observation of others, we can fully in
dorse the testimony of the st. Louis
Miller, on the healthful properties of
the above esculent. Lung and liver
complaints are certainly benefited,
often cured, by free consumption of
onions; either cooked or raw. Colds
yield to them like magic. Don't be
afraid of them. Taken at night all
offense will be wanting by morning,
and the good effects will amply COM
pensate for the triAing annoyance.
Taken regularly they greatly promote
the health of the lungs and the diges-
tive organs. An extract made by boil
ing down the juice of onions to sir
up, and taken as a medicine, answers
the purpose very well, but fried, roast
ed, or boiled, onions are better. On
ions are very cheap medicine, within
everybody's reach, and they are not by
any means as bad to take" as the
costly nostrums neglect of their use
may necessitate,- Scientific Ameri-
can.

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
likened unto grain of tobacco seed;
which, though exceeding small, being
cast into the ground, grew, and be-
came a great weed, and spread its
leaves rank and, broad, so that huge
and vile worms formed habitations
thereon.
And it came to pass that the sons of
men looked upon this weed, and the
eyes of their understanding being
darkened, thought it beautiful to look
, upon, and much to be desired to make
youth of tender years look big and
manly. So they did put forth their
hands and did chew thereof. And
some it made sick, and others to vom-
it most filthy.
And moreover it came to pass that
those who chewed thereof became
weak and sick, and could not deliver
themselves from the desire of having
bits of it continually in their mouths,
which aforetime had been clean and
ruddy, but now became foul and black,
and besides, the chewers were seized
with a constant and violent splitting
of unclean humors, and they did spit in
all places, even in ladies parlors, and
in the courts Of the lord of Hosts.
And the good and true, and all that
led pure lives were grievously plagued
thereby.
And it came to pass that men were
dissatisfied with merely chewing the
strange weed, but sought out other
and cunning devices for using it.
Some, indeed, did make it into fine
powder and filled their nostrils there
with, and they were taken suddenly
with fits, and they did sneeze with
great and mighty sneezes, insomuch
that their eyes were filled with tears,
and their faces with wrinkles, and they
did look foolish exceedingly.
And yet others cunningly wrought
the leaves thereof into rolls, and set
fire to one end thereof, and did suck
vehemently at the other, and did look
very grave and calf-like; and the
smoke of their burning and sucking
ascended up forever and ever.
And there were men whose wisdom
being that of the fox beholding the
multitude which did chew, and smoke,
and snuff, said among themselves,
Come let us plant, and water, and
increase the production of this weed,
whose name is tobacco, for therein is
a mighty and increasing business"
and they did so, and merchantmen
waxed rich in the commerce thereof.
And it came to pass that even the
saints of the Most High became bond
servants to the weed, and defiled them
selves Herewith; even the poor, who
said they could not get shoes and books
for their wives and little ones, spent
their substance therefor.
And the anger of the Lord was kim
led by such great wickedness, and He
said Wherefore this waste? And
why do these little ones lack bread,
and shoes, and books? Turn now.
your fields into corn and wheat; and
put the evil thing far from you and
be separate, and defile not yourselves
my more; and | will bless you, and
cause my face to shine upon you"
But with one accord they raised
their voices and exclaimed: 1--WE can
not cease from chewing, snuffing, and
putting; we are slaves. U chronological

CITY BOYS Disadvantages.

Mr.. Washington GLADDEN., mot
having much else to dc" and being IN
a statistical mind, gathered up some
facts and figures on the childhood of
city boys. He sums up his observa-
tions in a paper in the March Of St.
Nicholas, called 1.-The Disadvantages
of City Boys 1t is paper which
has quite as much meaning for the
parents as the children.
The author lives in Springfield,
Mass. He saw in his walks about the
little city boys everywhere, no end of
boys, in alleys and vacant lots, look
ing on the base ball games, ringing
door bells and darting around corners,
smashing the windows of empty
buildings and getting into mischief,
the pest and terror of the neighbor-
hood. He wondered if this was the
sort of young fellows that afterwards
made solid, successful business men
and prominent citizens. The more he
thought about it, the more he Won
dered, till he determined to find out, if
possible. With Yankee ingenuity, he
prepared the following circular:
MY DEAR SIR-I desire to find out for the benefit
their boyhood Will you be kind enough to tell me.
l. Whether your home during the first fifteen years
of your life farm, in village or i'll city
and
2 Whether you were accustomed, during any part
of that period, to engage in any Kind of work when
you were not in schoolE
should glad. course, to have you into par
ticulars fully you disposed to do; but do
wish to tax your patience, and shall be greatly
obliged for simple answer to these two questions.
He then selected one hundred names
of the leading citizens of Springfield,
merchants, bank presidents, lawyers,
editors, school principals, physicians,
ETC., and sent copies of the circular to
them. Eighty-eight of these gentle
men answered. The result was start
ling. Of the eight-eight wealthy and
successful men, only five We're the
sons Of well-to-do city fathers. One
of these five had occupied his out of
school hours in studying law, SO that
in reality only four of the eighty
eight successful men had spent their
childhood as the ordinary city boy
spends his. Seventy Of the eighty
eight had been brought up to farm
! work. Here was how they passed the
