The GOOD" Minister.

Central Baptlt.
The sanity McCheyne said: "a
holy minister is an awful weapon in
the hand of God" Mark the desig ma
tion-"a holy minister" Holiness is
likeness to God. It's presence is n
rebuke to sin and an encouragement
to piety. To be holy it is not necessary
that preacher should proclaim his
devotion to his Master at all times.
No man need be told at midday that
the sun is shedding its beams upon the
earth. The bright luminary shines
anil silently declares its brightness.
So true holiness will be seen in conduct
and heard IN words and beam forth in
the expression of ones countenance.
God sometimes blesses the preaching
of man who is not devout, but he
does so in spite of a manifest lack OF
piety. AS a general statement, that
preaching is shorn of its power which
is not confirmed by holy life. In
consistency between words and actions
is generally fatal to the accomplish
ment of good The elOquence OF
Apollos is but the tinkling of cymbal
unless attended by true conservation
of heart and life. Holiness gives life
and power to the proclamation of the
Gospel. OF all things it is most I'M
portant that the minister watch
his own heart. There are peculiar
temptations which assail him. de IS
ever in danger of departing from tn.
living God, and he should ever take
care lest having preached to Others
he NAV be castaway.

is great attraction, and delightful
pleasure parties are organized for this
purpose.
L have said that Florida possesses
stores of treasures for the artist, but
this is no less true for the naturalist or
the arch@ologist. Perhaps nowhere in
SO small a space, and with so little
fatigue, could SO many objects of
interest be found or specimens col
lected. Tourists with taste for bird
stuffing would find more than enough
upon which to exercise their skill, in
Guiding such birds as the hamingo,
crane, or herons. Numerous delight
ful excursions can be made in the
neighborhood of Jacksonville by car
riage or by boat. A drive of about
four miles takes the visitor to place
called Mon crief's Spring, where the in
habitants have contrived to combine
both profit an pleasure by the estab-
lishment OF baths, a dancing salon.
and a racecourse. For those, how
ever, who wish to visit the perfect
country trip mp the river by steamer
is an excursion not soon to be forgot
ten. The river takes it's way through
some of the most romantic scenery
past villages almost hidden by the
orange groves and shady trees, the
river in some parts resembling gar
den, from the quantities of water-lilies
and floating islands gay with flowers.
AS we proceed, the scenery each mo
ment presents some new phase of beau
ty or unexpected effect of color and
contrast. The moss. covered oaks, and
the bright colors of the variegatcd
foliage in the woods, being always re-
markable. The first part of the river
journey ends at Palatka, where the
tourist can change steamers and con-
tinue his journey es far as Enterprise.
AS We proceed south, the scenery in
creases in interest; lakes and luxuriant
islands meet us at unexpected turns,
while the foliage of the trees becomes
more varied in tone and moro tropical
in character. Here, too, the arch a DO
gist may while away many pleasant
hour among the ancient remains of the
Indian tombs and sepulchres. But we
need not say more about the beauties
which Florida offers with SO generous a
hand.

what Makes slang y uccessful,
Boston Courier.

Boston Courier.
Successful slang, that is to say slang
that lives, is always intensely humor.
Gus, and for that reason becomes of
necessity the keenest and readiest wea-
pom against all cant and humbug. But
let it be remembered there is slang and
slang, and We are only referring to
that kind which, being an involuntary
outcrOpping of the time or situation,
gets grip upon the heart of humanity,
and Is, in nine cases out of ten, finally
received into the brotherhood of ac-
cepted words. At the outset il IS i'm
possible to state with certainty what
will turn out to be successful slang.
The immediate universally of phrase
does not settle it.
To have the staying qualities slang
must be anonymous. Its paternity
once accurately established, it begins
fades altogether. II child has par
ents let them see to its welfare, but
when child has none the world itself
is sometimes willing to adopt it. And
this not from any pity of Its helploss-
ness, for such children are not seldom
harder and brighter than others, but
from very admiration of their audacity
and self-reliance.
Of such slang words and phrases it
may be said rs of the bastard in "Loar,"
they are of that breed and blood who
'in tho lusty stealth of nature take
more composition and fiercer quality"
than it is possible to their soberer and
more respectable half-brothers. Once
adopted into the family, however, legit-
imized and made equal with the rest,
they take on new airs and graces that
render them infinitely more agreeable
to good society, without in anywise de-
tracing from their native vigor and
flavor. 1t is wild fruit grated upon
a tame stock-if it strikes in and flour
ishes, both sides are benefited and i'm
proved; if it withers and dies, it is be-
cause the grating was done untimely
because the sap of the cultivated
tree still boils and ferments in full and
sufficient force, and has not yet sunk to
that dead level of placid insipidity
which needs the singing touch OF the
wild infusion. Slang is the recruiting
ground of language where multitudes
are always ready to enlist, and out Of
a prOfusion of tall, iawless fellows
taken into the ranks, limited number
turn out in time to be good soldiers.

hollow of the Creators hand. He has
not sent me here to sit still; even the
stones are useful to mankind. He

is it to be done? All circumstances

grocer; have been taught this; l can
do it best. In this work l join with
the tea-tree, and the coffee-tree, with
the sweet cane, with the rice fields,
with the wonderful plants that yield
such pleasant fruits, such delicious
spices, with the sun that warns them,
with the clouds that water them, with
the air that quickens them, with the
earth that bears them, with the la
borers of harvest-iield and vintage,
with the mariners that carry them
over the sea, with the winds whereby
they are waited, and the winds
whereby they are borne. All this is
but Gods chain of agencies for pro-
viding these good things to regale and
TO nourish men; and into this chain
of agencies l fall, the last link, di-
rectly canvcying the creatures of God
into the hand of those for whom
they have been preparing by all my
precursors. Welcome, then, welcome
my task! Happy it is to labor when
all nature around, set in motion direct
from the Almighty's power, is con-
stantly forwarding work to my hand.

wholesomely, how pleasantly. AL

to who and what he was. His height

to twelve feet. A Federal officer stated
positively that it was Chang. the

He states that he never attracted any
attention at home, because nearly all
the men there are six feet or over. He

reached Chicago, where he attracted
considerable notice. His weight is
two hundred pounds, and he would be
taller if he did not turn up so much

proportions. In answer to a question
as to what size of boots he wore he re-
piled good-naturedly, II don't know

a quarrel and fall on some one. A
suggestion thrown out by the barkeepeI

forth the remark, "Well, | aiH't SO bad

challenging the hero Of the "March Through
