The following extracts are from ser
mons delivered by Rev. Sam Jones, the
Southern revivalist:
If you sow whiskey you reap drunk
ards.
A man who will swear before his
children is brute.
Truth flows from good man like
molasses from jug
A good man is like city set upon a
hill; you can't hide him.
Some of you men have sowed enough
seed to damn the world.
The gambler is invariably che son OF
Christian family. Why is this?
A man who gets drunk will steal if
he is not too much afraid Of the jail.
Most oil you don't care if your neigh
Dor goes hungry 80 you have enough.
Live so your children may put their
feet in your tracks and be honorable.
There's a merhcant in this town who
tells the truth, and he's mighty lone
some.
If you want to know what your
neighbors think of you, disguise your
self and go among them.
The man who don't laugh needs a
liver medicine The mopcr and growl-
er never goes to heaven.
The most beautiful sight in this
world is to see man leading his wife
and children into the gates of heaven.
Preachers know good deal more
about their Aocks than they dare tell.
1t might endanger their salaries.
"Whatsoever man soweth he shall
reap" is true, both in the Bible and
almanac, whether God says it or not.
Your daughter may be beautiful and
lovely, but the first thing you know the
devil may pack off drunken son-in~
law On you.

A Physicians Presence Of
Rftnxts

In the life of medical man of large
ard influential practice, there must be
many and varying episodes, but there
are few adventures that can surpass in
horror the one recently experienced by
Dr.. Morrison at Paris. A man of fine
manners and appearances was introduo.
ed into bis consulting-room, who imme'
diately accosted the medical man with
this startling declaration "For years
past I have been suffering the most in
tense agony from disease Of the lungs,
| have tried every treatment, but in
vain. l am informed that the liyhs cut
from the yet warm human frame will
effect a certain cure and have chosen
you us the victim.
The doctor gaspcd with terror as he
saw the maniac advance toward him
with sharp stiletto in his hand, but
instantly recovering his presence Of
mind he replied with cool emphasis:
you are quite right, my friend, but
in order to effect cure the organ must
be in a sound state, now l have suffer-
ed for years with liver complaint, bue
I can introduce you to brother prac-
t'tioner Of mine upon whom you can
make the experiment. The mad man
conceded, and in few moments was
secured and conducted to an insane asy-
lum. His name is Reid, q native Of
Hanover, occupying wealthy position
in society. DR.. Morrison was so affect
ed by the scene that he was stricken
down with an attack Of spoplexy on
the same night. -.

ADVICE TO BOYS.
BY CHARLES Il, BARRETT.

You may wish for this,
You may wish for that,
And wish for fruits Of the soil,
Mark it down Saxon truth,
Success results from toll.
If you would have this,
If you would have that,
And have it all secure,
Accept it a. u simple fact,
knowledge you must procure.
If you have saved this,
lfyou have saved that,
And it is all your own,
You deserve all the credit
To be not a rolling stone.
If you work for this,
lfyou work for that.
And labor with . will,
The result will be success,
Aud men will note your skill.
You may read this book,
You may read that book,
But read the better kind;
You must read a useful book,
Or you're only wasting time.
You may drink this glass,
You may drink that glass,
Till you quench the liquor crave;
Forget not that in the end
You'll Gil a drunhard's grave.
You may 60 this way,
You may 60 that way,
You may go from door to door;
Without Gods love in your heart,
The devil will get you sure.

fishes picture of the Rev. W. NJ.
Leftwich, pastor of the Tulip-street
church, with the appended sketch !:
This gentleman who was former
ly pastor of the Seventh-street NJ
E. church, south, of ST. Joseph, has
been in attendance upon the Platts-
burg camp-meeting and added much
to its interest by his ministrations.
DR.. Leftwich is a native of the state
of Virginia and was educated at
Emory and Henry college, though
he was reared in Tennessee. In 1851
he began the practice of law in Mis-
souri,, but soon afterwards felt that
he was called to preach and in 1853
he joined the St. Louis conference
of the NJ. E. church, south. He
first travelled the Wellington circuit
and filled important stations in all
three of Missouri conferences. He
was stationed in st. Louis, Kansas
City, jefferson City, independence,
st. Joseph, Hannibal and St.
Charles. For seven years he served
as pastor, presiding elder and edi-
tor in St. Louis. He was transferr-
ed to the Tennessee conference in
1876 and has served seven years in
Nashville and two years in Pulaski.
DR.. Leftwich is now serving his
fourth year at Tulip-street church,
Nashville, which has prospered won
derfully under his passionate, the
number of members having doubled.
DR.. Leftwich received the d. D. de-
gree from the Missouri State Uni
Yersity in 1866. He is a fluent, elo
quent preacher and one of the finest
revlvalists in the Southern Metho
dist church. DIR. Leftwich is also
fine writer and is an author of sew
eral works which have a large cir
Culation. He is we'll and favorably j.
known not only throughout his own
but in all the church
circles of the land, and is highly es-
teemed by all who know him as a
polished christian gen
tleman and an earnest minister of
the gospel. His name has been very
favorably mentioned in connection
with the eplscopacy, and he has
many qualities of head and heart
which admirably fit him for the of
fee of bishop. He is in the prime
of life and has a fine commanding
and would attract at
tention in any crowd. We trust he
has many years of usefulness yet
before him.

Mr.. g. A. Proehl, New Portage, Sum-
init County, Ohio, writes: my wife
has been sick for about five years. In the
first place the doctor called it leucorrh9a,
and treated it about one year, and she
grew worse, and turned to liberation of
the womb, and was treated for that two
years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then ! employed DIR. I'm
derwood, one ofthe best doctors of Akron,
but under his treatment she grew worse.
She was paralyzed; she had lost all of the
sense of feeling and her eyesight. She
could not walk for nearly two years.
About six months ago Underwood gave
her up. She tried your PERUNA. She
has taken three bottles, and it did more
good than any other medicine. The pa
ralysis has about left her; her eyesight is
getting better. We will continue the use
of PRRUNA until she is we'll"

untrue and unworthy of the venera-

Grant was the greatest soldier pro
duced by the war. Gen. Lee was a
very good engineer, a man of fine
family, but no man to head an army.
Gen. Grant was simple minded and
honest, and had no more animosity
toward the south than toward the
north. Being a West Point gradu-
ate, it was profession with him.
