Congressman Enloe, of Tennes-
zee, has introduced a bill in Con-
gress prohibiting the dealing IN
cotton or grain futures. This
future business has done more to
cause unhealthy fluctuations il
the products of the soil; to un-
settle the price an1 to rob the
farmers of a fair compensation
for their labor, than any other
scheme ever concocted by the
money kings of the great COM
mereial centers Of the country. 1t
is the meanest gambling ever in
dulged in by American citizens
and is mora demorallzing IN It's
effects, than any games OF chance
now prohibited by statute, and
we sincerely hope Mr.. Enloe wal
succeed IN having his bill enacted
into law.

doubled their money. This may
represent those who turn many to
Righteousness. The man of one
talent vexed because of its little
ness, refused to use it. He was
ambitious, though weak: So with
some Christians, because thev
have not shining and first-class
capabilities they won't do any
thing. Call upon them in prayer
meeting, they reply, "pIease ex-
cuse me.'' Ask them to con-
tribute their money to the Lord S
cause and they plead poverty;
ask them to do anything, at any
time, or in any way, and they
multiply excuses, not one of which
they would dare to give in at the
Masters coming. Religion, to
be worth anything, must become
a service-a life's service. It's
boundaries must be charging
ever enlarglng until it shall com
pass the globe with charities and
effort to save men and glorify
God.
The parable was spoken to the
disciples, but was intended for
the whole world and for all times
to the end of the world. Sinners,
to whom much of wealth, of un-
derstandihg, of refinement, of in
fluence, of opportunity, OF ability,
and of capability is given, will
have much to answer for. II any
one knows enough to commit sin
willingly, he knows enough to
make him responsible for his
actions, and God will hold him to
account fol the one talent.
BY the parable, Christ showed
that His second coming was not
near at hand as they supposed,
but that He meant to give the
world another probation by His
delay. God waits long time on
some, yet they never repent.
Many sinners look on God as a
hard task-master-unr asonable
"a tyrant. Yet God is long suf-
fering, prelering that they would
turn and not die. All His for
bearance and mercy abused-des-
pised--He at length, cuts them
off.
In the parable, the servant was
condemned for neglect; "Thou
oughuest to have put my money
to the exchangers, that at my re-
turn might reeeive.my own with
usury." What then. must be ex-
pected of those professed Chris
tians, whose lives are a reproach
and scandal to the church ot
Christ? What of those sinners
who openly, wickedly, persistent
ly, set at naught Gods authority
despise His commands and mock
His judgment? How will that
terrible anathema from the lips Of
Jesus at His coming-s'Depart
from Me, ye cursed, into tn,
eternal fire, prepared for the devi
and his angel" anc

MAGNOLIA, MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY MAY u 1885,
U. $. HISTORY AS A STUDY.


1t is a common fault in our
public schools to treat this subject
dlscourteously.
| have noticed in my ex>
perience as teacher that it Is
often badly neglected. / believe
this deficiency to arise from two
sources, VIZ:
(l) A lack of knowledge on
the pant of the teacher as to the
arrangement Of the textbook.
(2.) A tendency to advance
pupils too rapidly.
In the trst instance the pupil
is more or less, confused, and in
the second he acquires only a
vague outline of the real subject,
often disgracing himself and dis
appointing his instructor or ex-
animation day.
look upon the history of our
country as study, and re-
quirement equally as essential and
important as grammar, composi>
ton, or spelling, and to handle it
with indifference, as a great many
do, is a fault which should be
remedied in the outset.
When the pupil fails to acquire
correct knowledge of U. S.
History in the common or pre-
paratory school the opportunity
is seldom ever offered again. 1t
is rarely ever taught in colleges;
the time and course is too limited
to give 1t any notice whatever in
business schools; and, after the
collegiate course is finished time
and thought are too busily occu-
pied IN solving the problems OF
llfe,-therefore it is most impoi-
tant that this study should receive
special attention in our common
schools and in the "sprIng time"
Of life.
A knowledge of spelling, gram
mer, geography and arithmetic,
we might say, is compulsory, but
the history of our own country is
liable to be "smothered over"
and when only half completed,
dropped. THIS should never be
permitted. A man or woman
with only a confused knowledge
of the history of his or her
country, is often subjected to
ridicule and modification, COM
mitting blunders which are un-
pardonable even in a casual con-
vel sation.
But, history should not be in
troduced to the pupil until al
least a clear perception Of geogra-
ply Is gained;
Il. A knowledge of the maps
of N. America, S. America,
Europe, Asia, and Africa.
(2.) The customs aud habits
of the civilized world at the be.
ginning of American History.
Before assigning the first les
son an Introduction Oh the part,,oi
the preceptor or preceptresi
would prove very beneficial; a.
the story of the Northmen anC
the Voyage of Columbus. ,
These romantic adventures woult
not only furnish pleasan
depression, but also aid much to
ward simplifying the context ant
acquainting the pupil with tn
nature of the subject.
To teach history with ease a
we'll as gain successful results
and without ''dragging" tn
class, is the end sought.
To accomplish this several rule
must be observed, viz:
(l.) Give short lessons.
(2.) Keep up the connection.
: (3.) Review weekly.
a. Condense and use black
board.
(5.) Select subjects from til
history and discuss freely wit

THE MARRrAan QUESTION.
Happiness Not Always to be Found
Among the Wealthy.
Minneapolis Tribune.

NiilntupoiS
A friend of mine, who is a married
gentleman, said to me the other day: 81
would advise any young man to remain
single until lie is in the possession of a
salary of at least $50 week. 1t is almost
impossible to keep house on less. House
rent, fuel and other essentials come high,
and young man who only earns $l5 or
$50 a week must necessarily run behind.
He can live quite comfortably on $40 q
week If he is single, but let him attempt
to support a. wife, and perhaps a family
on this sum, and he will see where the
ends will meet"
My friend is either spendthrift him.
self or he has an extrayagant wife. If he
expects every young man to wait until he
receives $25 week before he marries he
will soon see the population of the world
dwindle down to the same number it
contained before Adam and Eve began
their existence. Married people can live
and do live comfortably ON SIS week,
and sometimes less. In many instances q
man never begins to amount to anything
until he Is married and has a wife to help
him over the sloughs Of dependency. II
is often the encouragement, frugality and
energy of a wife that enables man to ac-
quire wealth.
The very great majority of the wealthy
men of the nation married while they
were poor, and ifasked they will say that
| their riches must be credited as much to
their wives as themselves. Ifmy friend
thinks IL essential that married couple
should have three or four servants attend
the opera six times week, ride in car
riages, etc, then his advice is good, only
young man should have more than 81
n week. The happiest families are mol
always the wealthiest and young man
ifhe can get u good wife (aad there are
plenty ofthem), had better get her, even
| If he Is receiving less than the stipulated
sum of my married economist.

an inverted dish. This smoke is then
scraped off into one ounce sweet al

one ounce clarified beef marrow.
Melt all together, and stir in eighty
