AN ABLE
Delivered to The C.. A. r.. at the Baptist
Church..

On Sunday evening at the Baptist
church the Rev. George Brown preached
a very able sermon to the members of the
John f.. Reynolds Post of the 6. A. r.,
who turned out to the number of forty,
and marched form the city hall in full
uniform to the church led by the Post
Commander j. X. Jeffrey. The choir
for the occasion, The Whipple Quar-
tette," consisting of j. G. Whipple, D..
/. Whipple, Miss Lulu Whipple and
Mrs. DIR. Hunt, furnished most excellent
music which was very highly appreciated
by all. The reverend gentleman took for
his text the following words, found in
Isaiah 1921: And thine ears shall
hear a word behind thee saying, this is
the way, walk We in it." The exercises of
the evening commenced with singing by
the choir of Hold the Fort" after
which MIR. Brown, who had previously
announced his ext and read a few pas
sages of scripture, proceeded with his
discourse which was attentively listened
to by the large audience in attendance.
An extended synopsis of this able sersom
would have been given but space forbids
it at this time. The topic of the sermon
was Signals and most appropriately
did the preacher adapt it to the occasion
and his listeners. In one or two in
stances the boys forgot where they
were and commenced to applaud. The
Great Review was also rendered by the
choir, which for the concluding hymn
sang hat beautiful selection in which
occur the words:
surely the Captain may depend on me,
Though but an armOr bearer | mag be-"

Everlasting Fsnoa posts.

There is a peculiar satisfaction
in listening TO the conversation or
reading the writings Of positive
men, or of those who deal in facts
as have but one side and no excep-
ton. Such man tells us, In the
Western Rural, how TO preserve
posts for fences, etc. He says:
discovered many years ago that
wood can be made TO last longer
than iron in the ground, but
thought the process so simple and
inexpensive that it was not worth
while to make any stir about it. /
would as soon have poplar or ash as
any kind of timber for posts. have
taken out Eastwood posts after hay-
ing been set seven years that we're
as sound as when put in the ground.
Time and weather seemed to have
no effect on them. The posts can
be repaired for less than two cents.
Take up polished inseed oil and
stir in pulverized charcoal 70 the
consistency Of paint. Put coat of
this over the timber, and there is
not a man that will live long
enough to see it rotten
This is a valuable discovery il
true. Let those who have posts TO
set give it a trial. If it answers the
purpose intended, all right; If not,
you will suffer but little loss.

tanning without a ''hop." What a
name for an adult amusement.
Come, now, we have exhausted re-
freshInents for the body, and the
topics for thought and talk, let us
be children; play the fool, and hop.
Angels of heaven, turn your eyes
away Alas, to think that the
church Of Christ is represented on
these occasionsl Inconsistency is
the softest word the truth allows in
speaking of this shameful treatment
of holy profession.
1t is to be admitted that there
are differences as to time, place and
company. am told there is a diff
ference (as the names imply) be-
tween square and round dances.
The proprieties are comparative. So
also between the simple cotillion
and the intricate and Yoluptuous
waiiz, between parior-dancing and
the masquerade-b ball. But the truth
is they are all related-blood kin.
The family is one. Private dane
ing is the prelude and preparation
for public dancing. The simple
leads to the complex, and the deli
cate to the gross. The PASSION
grows by indulgence For this rea-
son | include those christian pa
rents who teach their children to
dance in the same condemnation
with the more open transgressors
who misreprssep their Master, out
rage the moral sentiments Of the
church, and herd promiscuously
with the world of the ungodly.

the temptation to practice it. In
deed, this schooling is a prepara-
tion for it-"a provision of the flesh

girl whose agility and grace is ad-
mired in the circle of private friends
will long to display her charming
accomplishments on a more public
arena. Would a thoughtful parent
commit the manners and the NOR
ais of his children to some strolling,
transient master of mazes and DO
sitions, if he did not desire and in
tend them to shine with eclat in the
giddy throne of the vain, the frivo-
lous, and the worldly? Expecting
them to love the world, they insure
this morally disastrous result by
training, physical endowment, and
mental association. The friendship
of the world is too precious a boon
to be foregone, although the price
of it be the loss of divine favor, and
the end of it enmlty TO God. "For
whoseever will be the friend of the
world is the enemy of God"

Peterson's Magazine for Decem-
Der comes to us ahead of all others,
perfect marvel of marvel beauty.
There are more than a hundred
pages of reading-matter; two superb
steel plates; colored pattern, cost
lier even than a chrome; colored
fashion, double size, printed from
steel; and more than half a hundred
wood cuts of fashions, work table
pattern, ETC., etc. The stories are
exceptionally good; though "Peter-
son" always has the very best. 1t
is a standing wonder to Us how
this magazine can be furnished at
its low price; it can only be explain
ed by the enormous circulation
which Peterson" has had now for
more than thirty years. We really
suppose there are few families, at all

claims, and not undeservedly, to
give more for the money-and of q
better uality-than any other. The
December number ends the year.
Now, therefore, is the time to sub
scribe for 1885, or get up clubs.
We advise our fair readers to sub
scribe for no magazine till you have
seen q copy of this. Specimens are
sent gratis, if written for in good
faith. The price is but two dollars
year to single subscribers. To
clubs, it is cheaper still, viz: Four

up the club. Or five copies for
eight dollars, with both an extra
copy Of the magazine for getting up
the club, and also superb illustrat-
ed book of American poets, called
"The Pearl of Price," or large-size

gives such costly premiums. For

but the hostile tariff she has enforc-
ed since the civil war has nearly
driven US out of her market and has
built up a vast system of manufac-
lures, which completely supplies
her own wants and leaves something
to spare to compete with us in for
eign markets. The fact is that
their market is almost lost to us,
and we, on the other hand, are con
stantly more dependent upon her
food and raw material. For this
we have no means of paying except
by money or bonds, or indirectly by
our credit with China, Brazil, etc.

the effect of the tariff on England
and says;
This country has suffered severe

stringency Of foreign tariffs. There
has been growing tendency evinc.
ed IN most countries to protect
their own industries, and in every
such case we are the chief sufferers,
for We live, as already said, by ex.
changing our manufactures for nee
essaries of life. The United States
was at one time a large customer
for our iron ware and textile fabrics

SINS OF THE POOR.

On, the sins of the poer are like scarlet,
But the crimes of the rich, ever pale,
The one to the wide world is blazoned,
But the other is hid by veil.
If driven to stealing by hunger,
The poor are soon doomed to a cell;
But the rich, who rob by profession,
BAve no fear of prison or hell.
Oh, the sins Of the poor are like scarlet,
And the blast Of an inkling of shame,
Brings swift and surest destruction
To many poor maiden's name.
But those, who in silks and in sAtins
Fer boast Of their jewels and gold,
Have no fear of the seorn of their fellows,
When it's known that their virtue they'v'
sold.
Oh, the sins of the poor are like scarlet,
But the rich are e'er guileless of crime,
Their wealth is waterproof blanket,
Which makes them all Gods superhne.
They may do as they please, if they've money
And "society" blind as bat,
Sees the sins and the crimes of the poor man
But the rich, ah, it cannot see that.
