No More Hard Times.

If you will stop spending so much on
fine clothes, rich food and style, buy
good, healthy food, cheaper and better
Clothing: get more real and substantial
things Of life every way, and especially
stop the foolish habit of employing ex-
pensive, quack doctors, or using SO
much of the vile humbug medicine
that does you only harm, but put your
trust in that simple, pure remedy. Hop
Bitters; that cures always at . trif1ing
cost, and you will see good times and
have good health. .-C Chronicle.

Sound Sense.

Governor Jarvis of North Carolina deliv-
cred the address before the alumni of Ran
dolph-Macon College, Virginia, on the 10th
of June. The following are some OF the
brief quotations from it: "All honest labor
is honorable, and should have the favor of
all good people. He who is not fitted for
the professions will find it in the eyes of
proper thinking people just as honorable
to serve on the farms, in the workshops, or
at the trades. The successful farmer, mer.
chant, or mechanic is the equal of the sue
cessful lawyer, or politician, and incompara-
bly, greater than the professional failure.
The more fashionable and less thoughtful of
them sometimes frown upon the man who
works with his hands for an honest living,
while they smile upon the dainty darling OF
the fashion. Let me at least hope they do
not know the evil they do. Such sentiments
drive young men to idleness, idleness to
want, want to crime, and crime to disgrace
What right has he to use the public service
to promote his own or another's ends
None. Aud the man who trades and tratics
in public trust commits a crime against
the public. And yet men in these days Of
debauched politics are daily violating this
principle. There is no service in which you
can engage, save that of your Creator, more
sacred than that of your country. Nd man
who does his duty can withdraw himself
entirely from such service. / pray God
that this great centennial year will be the
end of all strife in this land of ours. At
this year one hundred years ago was the
end of the struggle for reconciliation and,
as from the bloody plains Of Yorktown in
in 1871 the sun of liberty rose to shed his
benefcent rays for all time to come upon
free America, SO, in 1851, from these fields
may the sun of an absolute and everlasting
reconciled brotherhood rise never again TO
be dimmed while time shall last. Yes, my
friends, as the people gather from the north
and from the south, from the east and from
the west, and meet upon the sacred soil, may
the spirit of hundred years ago fall upon
them and bind them together in bonds OF
love and confidence that can never be rent
asunder. Aud when they leave that hal
lowed ground, may that spirit go with them,
and abide with them and all the people
forevermore. 1t is hard to have no friend
to cherish it is worse TO have no country
| to serve; but it is death eternal to have nc
God to love or religion to comfort. Man
without friend is a misanthrope, and
knows nothing of the sweets of life. With
out country he is an exile and wanderel
an aimless Arab in the desert. Without
a religion he is in wilderness of uncertainty
without guide--in the dark without a
light-in the world without hope

/" VIII a Man Rob God ="

1t would seem as though he would not.
1t would hardly seem as though he would
rob even his brother man. And vet there
is hardly anything that man, left to him
self, will not do. There is no crime that
you can name that he has not done. Rob
berry is common iniquity. 1t is prevailing
evil You must be on your guard against
it. You must "beware of men," You must
look out for yourself on the highway. You
must bolt and bar the doors of your house
at night. You must keep your treasures
under lock and key, or you will be despoiled
you will be robbed. But will a man rob
God? Yes, he will rob God. Strange as it
may seem, this is more common than the
robbery of fellowman. Many man is
guilty of robbing God who would regard it
as beneath him to rob his neighbor. Pro
fessedly good men, Christian men, are not
unfrequently guilty of robbing their Maker.
They rob him by giving to the world those
affections that belong to him, and which he
claims for himself. They rob him by keep
ing from his altar in part or as whole, the
tithes that he requires. They rob him by
withholding themselves from his service.
They rob by withholding their children
from him, and bringing them up for the
world. And they rob him by appropriating
holy time-his own time-to secular uses,
They employ the Lords day in seeking their
own pleasure. Numberless almost are the
ways in which men are guilty of robbing
God Multitudes rob him continually, and
of everything of which it is possible for them
to rob him. Were il in their power, they
would invade heaven itself, and plunder the
gold with which its streets are paved. They
would do more than this they would rob
the Almighty of his throne even, and sit
thereon themselves. There is nothing that
the depraved human heart is not deprayed
enough to do. Surely, If there is anything
that a man needs and must have, it is a new
heart Nothing can be more true than the
declaration of the Saviour TO Nicodemus
Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God."-Selecied.

The Ideal Sabbath.

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at home
when the head of the household-farmer or
mechanic, merchant or lawyer, capitalist or
operative--enjoys the weekly rest among
those for whom the six days of labor have
been spent. Whether the Sabbatic institu-
tion was or was not created by the fourth
eon,uaen dnnont, tharn sanrne ", ha in thoea
words, Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh-
ter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid
servant" glimpse of the restful enjoyment
which the day Of rest, in the primitive con-
ception of it, would bring rest and not rev.
elry or dissipation, and being therefore a
day of home enjoyment, brings with it
opportunity for sober thoughts and confer
ence. A Sabbath keeping people will be-
come thoughtful people, aud such thought
fulness is maniness. All men, and especially
the busy millions in an advanced civilization
like our own, need for the minds sake, not
less than for the sake of wearied nerves and
muscles, the seventh-day intermission of
their ordinary work. A true Sabbath is
something far more restful than day OF
noisy iollity. In its calm air the mind rests
| by thought, thought, not thoughtlessness
| by quiet musing, by conscious or unconscious
retrospection perhaps by consideration Of
what might have been, perhaps by thinking
what may yet be, perhaps by aspiration and
resolve toward something in the future, that
shall be better than what has been in the
past. The home in which Sunday is a day
of rest and home enjoyment is hallowed by
the Sabbaths which it hallows. In the
Sabbath-keeping village, life is less frivolous
and at the same time industry is more pro
ductive, for the weekly rest. A Sabbath
keeping nation is greater in peace and il
war for the character which its tranquil ant
thoughtful Sabbaths have impressed upol
it.-ReU. DR.. Bacon.

Hints for Mothers.

Nothing is more fascinating to child
than the plain, unvarnished narratives OF
the Bible, provided these are the first pre-
sented to him. cannot vouch for children
who, from the earliest dawn OF intelligence,
are compelled to swallow large draughts OF
Mother Goose" But if the story of Sam
uel, for instance, is read to child (and do
not Judge me visionary if | say this may be
done before the age of three years., just as
it stands recorded in |. Samuel iii watch
his eyes, as he is evidently picturing to him
self the child Samuel, his "little coat" (the
reading should begin with verses eighteen
and nineteen of the previous chapter), the
good priest with his dim eyes, the little
Samuel laying himself down to sleep, but
rising with alacrity, running, when he hears
himself called You may be sure he sees all
these far more plainly than we whose minds
are numbered with so many other things. A
little quiet talk afterwards about the story,
adding no embellishments, but often refer
ring to the open book and repeating from it
the identical words hsre and thars, will
| iasJen Jne nall In sure place. The very
| quaintness of the Scripture phraseology
catches and holds the attention of child.
| | have known child of but three years to
become so familiar with the last chapter of
the Gospel by John, through the frequent
hearing of it, as to notice the omission of a
single word inadvertently left out; and he
was by no means precocious child. lie
would call for it over and over again through
the day, and never tire Of it. A little prep
aration is needed on the part of the mother
in selecting passages and connecting them
as if continuous. For instance, take the
last chapter of Luke, commencing with the
thirteenth verse, and read without any omis-
sons till you come to the last two verses
omit them, but substitute in their place
Acts 10, last clause, reading on through
verse twelve. No attempt at smplication
will make the story more captivating. If
you have never tried it, you will be aston
ished at the interest manifested after a few
readings Persevere, and you will soon find
that the Bible is the book of books to your
child, and its words "sweeter also than
honey and the honey-conb." And what
better can you desire for him? Searching
ing the Scriptures for this purpose, you
will find more sweet morsels for your little
ones than you at first imagine. In your
daily reading note such passages, that you
may never be at loss Note the story of
Peter. in Acts xii 1-l9; Moses, in Exodus
ii :2-l0; David, in |. Samuel xviii the
"holy child Jesus" Luke ii 40-52, etc.
