The Garden 0fGetbse name.

Gethsemane was a garden or Or
chard, marked probably by some
slight enclosure; and as it had been
a place of frequent resor for Jesus
and his followers, we may assume
that it belonged to some friendly
owner. The name Gethsemane
means the ''oil press" and doubt
less it was called from a press to
crush olives yielded by the count
less trees from which the bin deriv-
es its designation. Any one who
has rested at MONDAY in the gardens
of Eu-gannim or Spring, and a
recall the pleasant shade yielded by
the interlaced branches of olive and
pomegranate and fig and myrtle,
may easily imagine what kind of a.
spot it was. The traditional site,
venerable and beautiful as it is from
the age and sight of the grey gnarled
olive trees, OF which one Is still
known as the Tree Of Agony, is per-
haps too public-beiug, as it always
must have been, at the angle form
ed by the two paths which lead over
the summit and shoulder of Olivet-
to be regarded as the actual spot. 1t
was more probably one of the seclud-
ed hollows at no great distance from
it that witnessed that scene of awful
and pathetic mystery. But although
the exact spot cannot be determined
with certainty, the general position
of Gethsemane is clear, and then as
now the chequering moonlight, the
grey leaves, the dark brown trunks,
the soft g%reensward, the ravine with
Olivet towering over it to the east
ward and Jerusalem to the west,
must have been the main feature ola
place which will be regarded with
undying interest while time shall
be, as the place where the SAVIOUR of
mankind entered alone iuto The Val
lev of the Shadow,

Force OfHabit.

He was a nice and very new young
man, and his employer took kindly
to him on the first day in the factory
asking him to help him in "check-
ing off" and ''calling back'' the size
of certain goods. All went well un-
til the youth in finishing up a string
of numbers, called out: "Fifty-fve,
eleven, forty-fo'-Keno - A great
hush fell over the rest of the clerks
as the old man called the blushing
lad up to the desk and desired an
explanation, and the misguided lad
put his foot in deeper by stammering
that it was only "force of habit"
made him say it. The old gentle
man eyed him calmly for a moment,
and then laying down seventy five
cents for his days wages, said ''boy,
rake in the pot and go and renoune
your sins.

Dancing and Vice.

In consequence Of the somewhat
famous trial up at Erie, Pa, Of a
Presbyterian Church member for
dancing, and the finding him guilty
of an infraction Of the church rules
in relation thereto, and his subse-
quent notice of an appeal to the Gen.
eral Assembly, dancing has become.
a fresh topic Of discussion in the
newspapers. The New York Jour
nal of Education is moved to the
following remarks IN the subject:
ga great deal can be said about
dancing. For instance, the Chief Of
Police of New York City says that
three-fourths Of the abandoned girls
Of this city were ruined by dancing.
Young ladies allow gentlemen privi-
leges in dancing which, taken under
any other circumstances, would be
considered as improper. 1t requires
neither brains Or good morals to be a
good dancer. AS the love of the one
increases, the love of the other de-
creases. How many Of the best men
and women are skillful dancers? In
ancient times the sexes danced sep
arately. Alcohol is the spirit of bev-
erage. So sex is the spirit of the
dance take it away and let the sexes
dance separately and dancing would
go out of fashion very soon. Parlor
dancing is dangerous. Tipping leads
to drunkenness and parlor dancing
leads to ungodly balls. Tipping and
parlor dancing SOW to the wind and
both reap the wbirlwind. Putdanc-
ing in the crucible, apply the acids,
weigh it, and the verdict of reason,
morality and religion is, Weighed
in the balance and found wanting -"
Not a great while ago, Mrs. Gene
raj Sherman, a lady who has been in
public life all her life, commencing
with the days of her father in Wash
ington, took occasion to give the
world the result of her observations
on the subject of dancing, especially
Ground Dances" and it was to the
effect that it was the nursery of a
great deal of laxity in society, and
productive of far more unhappiness
than pleasure.

STATE NEWS.

The city of Wheeling has put upon
the market Al per cent, bonds
amounting to $154,4 50. The State
of West Virginia has taken 500, 900
of them for the school fund at a
premium.
The town marshal Of Maiden, a
small town six miles from Charles
ton, was shot dead on Tuesday even
ing of last week by a desperate
named Bill Robinson. The murder
is now in Jail in Charleston.
The miners down about Charles
ton are making trouble again. They
have quit work, and when the oper-
ators hired men to fill their places,
the old miners drove the new ones
out. The civil authorities say they
are powerless and have called on
Gov. Jackson for military aid.
The two Red Men confined in the
Philippi jail, convicted and sentenc-
ed to a years Imprisonment for their
outlawry, were released some nights
ago by a band Of their former COM
panions in sin. Barbour county
will have to arise in the power Of
her majesty and vindicate her out
ragged law, or people will begin to
think that she is a good county to
move away from.
On Tuesday last a boy by the name
of Joseph Ramus, while standing in
his class III Mr.. Rector's room, in
the public school building, reciting,
accidentally discharged a small pistol
which he was carrying in his pocket.
The ball, which was a No. /, caused
a slight wound in the boys leg,
which, however, will keep the youth
laid up for several days. The prac-
tice of boys carrying pistols is most
reprehensible under any circum-
stances, but when it comes to school
boys carrying such things in their
pockets, subjecting not only them
selves but their schoolmates to the
danger Of being shot, it becomes
alarming. -Gratton Sentinel.
The community of Morgantown,
says the Sunday Leader, is torn up
over a series of libel and SANDER
suits, just entered, which involve
men, not only of local standing, but
prominent throughout the State.
John H. Hoffman, Esq, cashier of
the Second National Bank, has insti-
tuted suit in the Circuit Court
against Hon. George Sturgiss and
ex-Judge r. l.. Berkshire, alleging
and claiming $4,000 damages in
each case. The suit grows out of a
dispute OF long standing and former
suit against the plaintiffs, in which
the present defendants were counsel.
Mr.. Hoffman is quite a prominent
citizen, a man OF wealth, and one
well advanced in years. Mr.. Sturgiss
was the Republican candidate for
Governor in the last campaign, and
Judge Berkshire formerly occupied
a position on the Supreme Bench.
The suits have a great interest foI
nearly every person in the town.

Many a good mother, looking
bach over the long road of the
past, ano gazing on her horny
hands, resolves that her daughter
shall have a better time. The
mother to whom / refer is no
longer strong, and Miss Jenny Is a
healthy young woman Of twenty
two. Yet the mother does all the
homework, including the sewing
and mending for her daughter.
The latter makes tatting and edg-
ing for her under clothing, and
plays very fairly on the piano,
which has been squeezed in some.
where, for the family is anything
but rich. The mother goes with
out a new bonnet and fixes her
dressing over and over, in order
that Jenny may appear as well
dressed al The other girls of her
set. When company comes Jen-
ny entertains them and her mother
goes on with her work in the
kitchen. She waits on the table,
and, II anything is wanted during
the meal, Jenny never rises to get
it, but passes the empty dish to
her mother for and
adjusts her pretty wristlets in hap
Ply ignorance of the thoughts of
those looking on, Now this is all
wrong. This girl is not mutually
bad;her mother is solely to blame.
| for one do not believe in the plan
of wearing out the oldest first. Let
the younger ones have q good
time; don't be go strict as our an
cestors were with their families,
but have some respect for your
selves and for your own rights,
for your children will doubtless
have none for you.

Help YOURSELF.

Every boy and every girl should
learn the lesson of depending on him
self and herself. They cannot win
success by the help which father OF
mother or friend can give. Selt-help
is the best help, the only help that
will make one great.
Those who have attained distinc-
ton in business or scholarship or
politics, have won reputation by their
own efforts. Friends may have aid
ed, but upon that aid they have never
depended.
George Peabody, who gave seven
millions of dollars to benevolent OBJ
jects, was the o of poor parents,
and received but a meager education.
He was a clerk in a small Vermont
town, and in other places, and at the
early age of nineteen had made him
self so proficient in mercantile pur-
suits that he formed a partnership
which laid the foundation OF his i'm
mense fortune. 1t was by his self
help that, before he was thirty-five,
he became the head of a large com
mercial house.
Salmon p. Chase, the statesman
and the Chief Justice of the United
States, was of a family whose Cir
cumstances were poor. At the age
of twenty he was sent from his home
in New Hampshire to Ohio, where
he divided his time between hard
work on his uncle's farm and hard
study in his uncle's academy. After
graduating at Dartmouth College he
studied law, and, after a few years
spent in reading Blackstone and
Kent, opened an office. He had few,
or no friends, to solicit business for
him. He was obliged to depend on
himself. Finally his own pluck and
perseverance overcame his Difficult
ties, and from the age of tw%enty-six
years he never lacked work.
Every boy or girl is, like George
Peabody and Chief Justice Chase,
the architect of his or her own for
tune. You must yourself hew your
way to success. - Golden Days.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. AT times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as fatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed,
Is a very common attendant. In
ternal, External and Itching Piles
yield at once on the application of
DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts effect
ed, absorbing the tumors, alIaying
the intense itching, and effecting q
permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay
until the drain or the system pro-
duces permanent disability, but
try it and be cured. Price, so cts.
Ask your druggist for it, and when
you cannot obtain it of him, we
will send it, prepaid, on receipt of
price. Address The DIR. Bosanko
