Cure For Fits.

DR.. J. B. Taylor.
l. For Fit of Passion. Walk
out in the open air. You may
speak your mind to the winds
without hurting any one or pro
claiming yourself simpletOn.
2. For a Fit of Idleness. Count
the ticking Of the clock. Do this
for one hour, and you will be glad
to pull off your coat the next hour
and work like a negro.
3. For Fit Of Extravaganza
and Folly. Go to the workhouse
and speak to the inmates of the
Jail, and you will be convinced,
"Who makes his bed of brier and thorn,
Must be content to lie fororn."
4. For a Fit Of Ambition. Go
into a churchyard and read the
gravestones. They will tell you
the end of ambition. The grave
will soon be your bedchamber, the
earth your pillow, corruption your
father, and the worm your mother
and sister.
5. For Fit of Dependency.
Look on the good things which God
has given your in this world, and
to those which he has promised his
followers in the next. He who
goes into his garden to look for
cobwebs and spiders no doubt will
find them; while he who looks for
flower may return into his house
with one blooming in his bosom.
6. For all Fits of Doubt, Per
plexity and Fear. Whether they
remind, or whether they are a load
to the shoulders, head or the heart,
the following is a radical cure
which may be relied on, for we
have it from the Great Physician /:
"Cast thy burden on the Lord and
he will sustain thee"
Z. For Fits of Repining. Look
about for for the halt and the blind,
and visit the bed-ridden and the
afflicted and deranged, and they
will make you ashamed of com
planning of your lighter Affections.

DON'T MIRRY 4 MIN TO REFORM
HIN.

Don't marry man to reform him,
TO God and your own self be true,
Don't link to his vices your virtue;
You'll rue it, dear girl if you do.
No matter how fervent his pleadngs.
BE not by his promises led
If he can't be mau while a-wOoing,
He'll never be one when he's wed.
Don't marry man TO reform him
10 repent it, alas, when too late;
The mission of wives least successful
Is the making Of 'crooked sticks"
straight,
There's many IL maiden that has tried it,
Aud proved it "A failure at last;
Better tread your life's pathway alone,
dear,
Than wed Nth Il lover that's "flst."
Mankind's much the same the world over,
Exceptions you1l find are but few
When the rule is defeat and disaster,
The chances are great against you.
Don't trust your bright hopes of tue fu-
tuce,
The beautiful crown of your yonth.
To the keeping of hun who holds lightly
His fair name Of honor aud truth,
To "honor and love" you must promise
Don't pledge what you cannot fulfill,
If he'll have no respect for HIMSELF dear,
Most surely you then never will.
'Tis told us the frown of Il woman
Is as strong as the blow of man,
And the world will be better when women
Frown on error as hard rs they can
Make virtue the price of our favor,
Place wrong doing under a ban;
And let him who would win yon and wed
you
Prove himself in full measure man.

AT Grace Episcopal church, the fashion

Cotesworth Pinckney said:
Life is far too cheap in our land 1t is
sacrificed with a reckeSsness which would
not be tolerated In England, or any other
civilized land where Gods law Is known.
The result Of the recent trial in this city
seems to fall very far short Of any censure
Of homicide 1t has failed 10 condemn
crime, to vindicate Gods law, or to protect
human life against the murderous pistol.
That human life has been taken by violence
Is an acknowledged fact, and the tribunals OF
justice have no word of censure for the deed.
The slayer Is restored to his place, without
condemnation Of any sort, without fine, inn
prisonment or any legal disapproval Of the
wrong. The murderer pollutes the land be-
yond all other evil deeds, and leaves an in
dellble stain in Gods sight Nor can this
blood stain be obhterated until it is washed
out with the blood Of hlm that shed it
Mercy TO the mu derer Is cruelty to the com
munity. Every deed Of violence, whether
murder, manslaughter or NIB law, becomes
the seed OF future crime unless repressed by
the majesty Of the law
