a VERY pleasant entertainment, in the in
terest of the American Missionary Associa-
ton. was held at the Congregational church
last Sunday evening by the members of the
Sabbath-school. The concert exercise used
was furnished by the American Missionary
Association and consisted of readings, reci-
tations, declarations and slave songs, and
was both instructive and pleasing. The pas
tor, in his remarks, spoke of observing two
days in the year for celebrating national vic
tories and heroes, and said that it was
appropriate that we should take time to
consider the work done and the heroism
displayed by this noble band of mission
aries. a collection was taken at the close
Other schools desiring to help this society
will find it to their advantage to give this
exercise place in their evening services.

THE hot weather of midsummer has a
weakening effect both upon body and mind.
You feel absolutely incapable of doing any
arduous work, and even light duties are
performed languidly and unwillingly. This
low state of the system causes even greater
intrmity, and gives opportunity for serious
disease to gain foot-hod. In this condi-
ton the system is quick to respond to the

 Missouri has more than sixteen hundred convicts in her peniten- tiary, Illinois has over two thou sand, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska have two thousand more. Here are fifty-six hundred human beings deprived of their liberty for felo. nies ranging from the highest to the lowest known to the law, in five of the grandest Agricultural States of the Union. Do these law breakers come from the farm or graduate from the hel oftowns and cities? Are they felons from ne- cessitv, from vicious habits or nat ural depravitya All, yes every one of them, had a mother who fondly hoped her darling boy would turn out to be a good successful man, and great majority of them wish cd to become such themselves. There was time when they made a mistake, committed an error that commenced the downward road, they took the wrong turning and the farther they went the farther they got from the right. Boys, where are you going! Will you ever wear the striped clothing of infamy, and forever after be brand. ed as an ex-cOnvict, an outcast from home and friends and brand ed by the great worldl If not, be careful not to take the wrong road, that leads thereto.

 The Ocean.

Dr. A. E. Winfield, ofthe Arkan- sas Methodist, is writing a series of letters, in which he describes his travels through Europe, for the Arkansas Methodist. We take the following beautiful description of the "old ocean, from No. 3:
 "Now, how can I venture, and how can l desist, when I see our Bothnia moving with all the grace of a beautiful swan, riding pillow here, leaping wave there, then rocking Tn her cradle as old ocean like a mother with her first born careses her on her turbulent bo- som! No pen has or ever can do justice to the majesty of the ocean. The thunder of it's roar and the music of it's surge are indescrib- able. A sun rise or a sun set at sea is a delight, and furnishes a picture that no artist can initiate, and one to which no poet or poe try has ever done justice. To stand in the mornings early dawn, and watch from the deck of the great steamer, the first ray of east ers light, then watch as the light advances along the distant rim of horizon, and after Aurora, fair god dess of the morning with her mag ic wand, has brushed away the darkness of the night, you begin to sec the great King of day, seat ed in his golden chariot, rise from the bosom of the deep, flooding old ocean, with the golden beams of morning, and causing the very waters to sparkle like glittering diamonds, and the wave and pillow seem to sing song of praise and adoration to the great giver ot all good. Sun set If any comparison can be allowcd seems more beau teous still. For one hour after the king of day has. been buried ont sight in the bottomless waters, the whole scene is one of bewilder- ing beauty, and the whole ocean seems ablaze like electric light flashing on plains of diamonds and mountains of silver"

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

The TAYLOR family has a monopoly of
Tennessee politics this year. Bob TAYLOR
is the Democratic candidate for governor
and his brother ALFRED heads the Repub-
Hcan ticket. And the ProhibitiOnistS pro-
pose to nominate their father, who is a
Baptist preacher, as the Prohibition candi-
date. Now if the Female Suffragists will
only tender Mrs. TAYLOR a nomination,
there will be no possible danger of the gov
ernorship getting out of the family. Bob
and ALT are making joint canvass of the
state and are having a great deal of fun.
They speak from the same platform, ride
in the same carriage, and sleep together
every night. Both have the natural gift of
oratory. both are good at telling anecdotes,
and both are good fiddlers. Consequently
their ability to afford amusement for the
Tennessee audiences which turn out to
their meetings, is unsurpassed. They COM
promise Oh the fiddle question by playing
duets together after the public speaking.
As there are no personal issues between
them the election will afford fair opportu-
nifty to determine whether Tennessee is
Republican or Democratic state.
