The Christian Index, the leading
organ of the Baptist Church in the
South, published in Atlanta, Ga, in
its issue of Dec. 4, 1884, has the fol-
lowing editorial:
Too many people seem to think
that a religious newspaper should be
confined to the discussion of moral
and religious subjects only, forgetting
that religion has to do both with the
bodies and souls of men, "Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good"
has as much to do with the practical
side of life as it has with the moral
side. Our readers will bear testi-
timony that in all questions discuss
ed in the Index, the practical has
been duly set forth. In this para
graph, therefore, we only seek to
present an article worthy of commen-
dation. After subjecting it to the
above test we have tried Swift's Spe-
cific and found it good-good as q
blood purifier, good as a health tonic.
In this opinion we are sustained by
some of the best men in the church.
Rev. Jesse IL. Campbell, the Nestor
of the Baptist denomination in Geor-
gia, says: at is my deliberate judg-
ment that Swift's Specific is the
grandest blood purifier ever discover
ed. Its effects are wonderful, and I
consider them almost miraculous.
There is no medicine comparable to
it." DR.. IL. C. Hornady, one of the
best known ministers in our church,
says "Swift's Specific is one of the
best blood purifiers in existence"
These brethren speak advisedly.
But few preparations can bring for
ward such endorsements. The Index
desires only to endorse these state
ments. We have witnessed the ben
eficial effects of this medicine, not
only in our households, but in sever
al other cases where seemingly all
other remedies had failed. 1t is pure
ly vegetable compound, scientifcal-
ly prepared, and perfectly harmless
in its composition. 1t renews the
blood and builds up broken down
systems-gives tone and vigor to the
constitution, as well as restores the
bloom of health to the suffering.
Therefore, we do not deem it incon-
sistent with the duties of religious
journal to say this much in its be-

WORK WINS,

Labor has its just reward in success.
Fortune smiles upon the man who
thath brain and muscle woos her by
haTgence, by hard, earnest untiring
FesSk. The fault of the age is a mad

$ by chance, as sometimes it does,
ready to take wings and fly away.
Zap from indigency to wealth, from
aid poverty to luxury, is to court
con- ,oudy evening of life or rather a
tv, turn to the original poverty
fom which the beneficiary came.
The men who look back over a
tiresome journey know how to make
the best use Of the means they have
acquired. Industry generally teach
cs us the lessons of economy that men
win permanent success.
The men who live by their wits may
sometimes exhibit an example of f.
nancial success that came without the
usual prerequisite of labor, but they
are few and the rule is, by many odds,
the other way.
The firm unyielding, persevering
man who works with might and main
is self-reliant and is more than apt to
be honest and trustworthy. Heroes
are made of such men; all that is good
in our governmental machinery owes
its origin and development to the men
of work.
Young man consider. Fortune,
though not the greatest by far of
earthly blessings, is possibly to all
men. But be not deceived in the
way it is to be acquired. There is no
magic wand by which it can be made
to obey your word, or lift you to luxu-
ry and independence, except industry.
Then young friend, we have but
the advice for you-go to work.

DISAGREEABLE CANDOR.

A man who never reminds his
friends of unwelcome facts or tells
them unpleasant truths is sure to be
liked; and, when a man of such a
turn comes to old age, he is almost
sure to be treated with respect. tt
is true indeed that we should not
dissemble and fatter in company:
but man may be very agreeable,
strictly consistent with truth and
sincerely, by prudent silence where
he cannot concur, and a pleasant as
sent where he can. Now and then
you meet with a person so exactly
formed to please that he will gain up
on every one that hears or beholds
him; this disposition is not merely
the gift of nature, but frequently the
effect ofmuch knowledge ofthe world,
and a command over the passions.
Frequently that which is called can
dor is merely malice.

NO USE.

There is no use of harping about
hard times; betting with man who
has no money; spending time mormon

past leap year privileges; trying to do
a successful business without adver-

HOW TO SUCCEED In BUSINESS.


Don't worry.
Don't overwork.
Don't make the field too broad.
Be wary Of dealings with unsuc-
cessful men.
Make friends, but don't encourage
favorites.
Keep down expenses, but don't be
penurious.
Keep high vitality-sleep well,
eat well, enjoy life.
Stick to your chosen pursuit, but
not to chosen methods.
Don't tell what you are going to do
till you have done it.
Enter your charges when the goods
are sold. Don't wait.
Make plans for short time ahead,
but don't cast them in iron.
Be content with small beginnings
and be sure and develop them.
Don't take fresh risks to retrieve
your losses. Cut them off short.
Be cautious but when you make
bargain make it quietly and boldly
A regular system of sending Out
bills and statements is more effective
than spasmodic dunning.
Have a proper division of work
and neither interfere nor permit in.

1t is better for your credit to post

EDUCATED MECHANICS.

| The successful and valuable me-
chanic who is always in good demand
at good pay is he who thinks as well
as works. Seeing, feeling, and hear
ing are the three senses of all others
with which we are endowed. The
most important in aiding to a knowl-
edge of our surroundings, and while
this is truth that all admit, yet their
education is generally neglected un-
til the young man starts out to learn
a trade, especially what is termed
mechanical trade, tor by mechanics
in this connection is intended to con-
vey the idea of attempting to con-
trlve to put together, manufacture,
or change by manipulation so that
even woman who fashions a dress
out of the unfavored and plain mate
rial is just as much a mechanic, so far
as it goes, as the machinist who with
the rough, ungainly stone makes the
sparkling gem CIR the beautiful tool
from the sombre bit of iron ore. The
use of mechanical tools can not begin
too early in life it makes no differ
ence whether the pupil is to be a
practical mechanic or to follow some
other calling. There are few ifany
vocations that do not demand for
success some practical knowledge of
mechanics. ''The whiting Yankees"
probably owe much of their success
and undisputed position as inventors
and good mechanics to the habit of
using pocket knife. a very promi-
nent inventor and superior mechanic
recently remarked that the best OF
his taste as mechanic was undoubt-
eddy given by the school-master of
his youth. This teacher was car
penter and joiner, working at his
trade in summer and teaching in win
ter. If the boy did not own foot
rule he made one for him out of bit
of shingle, and so accurate was the
eye-measurement that he could mark
off the inches and fractions that
square would fail to show any mis-
takes. In those days this teacher
considered the foot rule and pocket
knife as indispensable as the slate,
hence he permitted his. pupils to
own them, and to measure dis
tances with the eye, subsequently
verifying by means of the rule.
Wind wheels and water wheels
were considered part of the peda-
gogue's training, and the click-clack
of one or the other could be heard all
about the school house and on the
borders of brook in an adjoining
field. At this day and age we need
more carpenter schoolmasters. A
knowledge of mechanics and mechan-
ical movements is of more use as well
as ornament in a business training
than an intimate knowledge of the
definite article or Greek verb. The
man who talks learnedly of languages
dead ere we were born may derive
satisfaction from hearing himself
talk, but the man whether clothed in
broadcloth or jeans, if he can explain
the mysteries Of the unseen, is always
welcome guest in any society.
These remarks apply with all their
force to females as well. What man
who lives would compared well-cook-
ed meal and tidy wife to welcome
home by slattern who asks him in
some foreign jargon, what he wants
for supper?

HOME.
Home, thy joys are passing lovely,
Joys no stranger hearts can tell"

i
Joys no stranger hearts can tel!'
What charm rests upon the en-
dearing name-my home, consecra
ted by domestic love, that golden key
OF human happiness. Without this
home would be like temple stripped
of its garlands. There father well
comes with fond affection; brother
kind sympathies comfort in the hour
of distress, and assist in every trial
there "a loved mother first taught the
infant lips to lisp the name of Jesus
and there loved sisters dwell, the
companions of earlier days. Truly
if there is aught that is lovely here
below, it is home-sweet home Ii
is like the oasis of the desert. The
passing of our days may be painful
our path may be checkered by sor
row and care; unkindness and frowns
may wither the joyousness of the
heart, eface the happy smiles from
the brow, and bedew life's way with
tears; yet when memory hovers over
the past, there is no place in which il
so delights to linger as the loved
scenes Of childhood's homel 1t is
the polar star Of existence. What
cheers the mariner, far away from
his native land, in a foreign port, or
tossed upon the bounding pillows, as
he PAGES the deck at midnight alone
what thoughts fill his breast? He is
thinking ofthe loved ones far away at
his own happy cottage; in his minds
eye he sees the smiling group seated
around the cheerful fireside; in i'm
agination he hears them uniting their
voices in singing the sweet songs
which he loves. He is anticipating
the hour when he shall return to his
native land, to greet those absent
ones SO dear to his heart.
Why rests that shade of sadness
upon the strangers brow, as he seats
himself amid the family circle? He
is surrounded by all the Injuries that
wealth can afford; happy faces gath
er around him and strive in vain to
win smile. All he is thinking of
his own sweet home of the loved
ones assembled in his own cheerful
cot. Why those tears that steal
down the cheeks of that young girl
The gentle mother who hushed her
to sleep with lullaby which moth
er only can sing is no more, she has
gone to a fairer home above, and this,
the darling of her heart, is left to
thread the weary path of life lonely,
homeless wanderer. Thus it is in
this changing world. The objects
most dear are snatched away. "Pass-
leg away" is engraved on all things
earthly, There is a home that has
no change. This home is found in
heaven. In the shadowy past there
is one sweet Renaissance which the
storms of life can never wither. The
recollection of home, sweet home.
In the visioned future, there is one
bright star whose lustre never fades
it is the hope of home-a heavenly
home. G. B. G.

Valdosta Times: Two tramps who

haven where they might get bite Of
bread, last Thursday, halted for a
snooze on the railroad near Wallis

shoes from his feet and fed. Tramp
No l hobblcd on barefooted to Val
dosta and found tramp No. 2 asleep in
or about the depot shed, and he pro-
ceeded at once, without formality,
warning or ceremony, to beat the
offender with large stick. 1t was a
rude awakening, and but for the
Waterman at the depot the offending
tramp would have suffered severely

and fellow traveller. AS it was he was
pretty bloody when Waterman Eshe
