Blest in Not Receiving.

lions Herald.
We are commonly in the habit Of
thinking that we are blest only as we
receive those things which are good
and blessed. But it is a fact that we
are often blessed by not receiving
what we think would bless us. There
are not few things, which are good
in themselves, that God does not al
low us to have, just because they
would not be blessing, but rather a
curse, to us as individuals. They
might be.a blessing to Others, because
Others would make a better and
holier use of them than we would.
For example, power is good thing.
There is no better thing than the
power of God; but he knows that 1t
would not be real blessing to some
of us were we to have very large
measure of his power, because we
would yield to the temptation to
make bad use of it. Some good
Christians pray for great abundance
of divine power, but they do not re-
ceive it to them. They would harm
themselves by it, and damage the
cause of Christ by it. Suppose that
some Of us could possess the power
that Christ did; would we not be
very likely to use it, at times, with
too great harshness and unwisd0m /?
Would we hold it in compassionate
check when our enemies sought to
strike us down? Would we keep
humble under the great results which
would flow from it? All! let us
hesitate before we seriously ask God
to grant us great deal more power
than we already have. But thereare
other things which God withholds
from us, and it is Il merciful blessing
that he does, for we, in our folly,
would be very likely to misuse the
gifts if they were received. AS fast
as we prove our ability to use well
what we already possess, God will
doubtless add to our possessions, and
bless others and ourselves in the en-
/ plOymont of them.

Personal Responsibility.

Rev. A. J. Reynolds in Mid Continent.
Personal responsibility to God is
taught everywhere in the Scriptures.
81 have written to him the great
things of my law" Hosea viii, y.
81" "him," my these personal
pronouns are emphatic. Daniel Web
ster was once asked when surround.
ed by friends, what was the greatest
thought that had impressed his mind,
and he answered, 1.-The greatest
thought that has ever dwelt in my
mind, is my personal responsibility
to God.o He was right.
And yet fallen unregenerate men
desire to escape this thought. They
say, "There is no personal God. Let
us eat and drink, for tomorrow We
die, and our souls will be blUtted out
of existence. We shall escape per-
sonal accountability to God. " What
an error! God says that we mast
meet him. ave must all appear be-
fore, the judgment seat of Christ, that
every one may receive the things
done in his body, according to that
he. hath done, whether it be good OF
bad" Howimpressive is the follow
ing verse:
From Adam to his Youngest heir,
No one escaped that muster.rOll.
Each as if he alone were there,
3 Stood up, and won or lost his soul.
Personal responsibility must be fell
by every true man. Let us note q
few Bible. examples. Joseph said
"How can I do this great wickedness
and sin against God?" Nehemiah
said-"Shall such man as | flee"
Esther said-"If perish, perish.
Jesus said-"I must work the works
of him that sent me-" Peter anC
John declared they must do right il
the sight of God. A
This sense of personal responsible
ty to God strengthened the Pilgrims
in coming to America, the Hugue
nots in bearing persecution, Cromwell
and WASHINGTON i'm governing.

THE SEPOY REBELLION.
Causes Which Operated to Bring About
the Terrible Indian MutIny.

Causes Which Operated to Bring About
the Terrible Indian MutIny.
The causes which operated to bring
about the terrible Indian mutiny of 1857,
known as the Sepoy rebellion, were va
rious. The Princes who had been de-
prived of their powers by the East In
dian Company had been active in stir
ring up general discomfort. The Brit
ish had raised and armed a large native
force, which was drilled and commanded
by British officers. This force was COM
posed partly of Sepoys of Bengal, who
were by religion high caste Brahmins,
and partly Mohammedans These
troops came in time to realize that
British power in the East largely de-
pended upon them for maintenance, and
therefore grew arrogant and displayed at
times mutinous spirit Good manage
ment on the part of the officers, howev-
err, for long time prevented an out
break, and besides, a most bitter preiu-
dice existed between the Mohammedans
and the Brahmin soldiers which pre-
vented their acting together But it
was religious fanaticism that proved at
last the immediate cause of the trouble.
Early in 1857 Enfield rifles had been
substituted for the smooth-bore muskets
OF the native troops. 1t was
necessary, to secure accuracy
of aim with the new gun, to use
a tightly-ftting cartridge, and this was
CREASED with lard that it might be more
easily rammed in. The manual of arms
required that the soldier, in loading his
piece, should bite off the end of the
cartridge with his teeth. Now, to the
Brahmin and to the Mohammedan also,
the swine is an abomination. To touch
or taste the fat of this animal is defle-
ment and sacrilege, and 20 the Brahmin
is total loss Of caste as we'll The de-
posed Princes had tried to stir up disaf-
lection among the people by telling
them that the native religions we're to
be overthrow, the sacred institutions
of caste destroyed, and the people made
to adopt the faith OF the invader. The
introduction Of the CREASED cartridge
seemed to De confirmation of these
statements, and astorm OF mutiny broke
out. Although, as soon as the objection
to the creased cartridge became known,
the native oldiers were allowed to pre-
pare lub:icant in which there was no
animal fat, nothing could stay the wave
OF popular wrath. We can not tell you
how many of the Sepoys were put to
death by being blown from the mouths
of cannon According to some historians
a large number were thus destroyed.
The excuse given by the British for
adopting this atrocious method was that
the Sepoys care little for death, but
were Mortified at the thought of mutila-
ton Chicago Inter Ocean.

of talk might do for old bucks like
you and me, Clingman, but for the

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT.
The Chemical Purity Of the Royal Baking
Powder,

For some time past the question of
purity in baking powders has formed
quite feature of newspaper discus
sions, and eminent doctors of philoso-
ply have given opinions as to the in
gradients which compose many of the
articles sold under that name. The
Investigations have narrowed down to
the limit which awards the Rowal Ba-
king powder the palm of purity, AID
the most distinguished scientists have
testifed not only that no extraneous
or deleterious matter enters into its
composition, but that its use is posi-
lively heahhful, making, as it does,
lighter, SWEEPER and more digestible
food. The Royal Baking Powder
Company have achieved a worldwide
reputation for the success which has
marked their preparation of cream of
tartar for baking purposes. 1t is in
disputably shown that they have elm
mated all elements of tartrate of lime,
alum or other impurities, and present
to the public ahealthful and chemi-
cally pure article. The US. Govern
ment chemists and others widely
known have verified its superiority
over other manufactures, aud testified,
through practical experience, to its ex-
cellence. It is well for families to OBJ
serve the fact that it costs more to
manufacture the Royal Baking Pow
der than any other, but it is, as shown
by chemical analysis, the only "abso-
lutely pure" baking powder made.

TE'om the State Chronicle.

= Ohs Ito cotte CMVHtCsc
The publication yesterday of the
expressive disapprobation of Col.
Creecy because a correspondent said
he had been forced to cut an oyster in
several pieces to eat it, recalls story
thai the late judge Ashe was wont to
tell with delight and amusement. He
said that years and years age, when
oysters were a rarity in Wadesboro, a
restaurant keeper one day received a
bucket of such unusual large size that
all the town people were called in to
look at them. The keeper of the res.
taurant offered to bet $500 that no
man in town could eat an oyster whole.
No one succeeded until late in the
day, when the wager was offered to a
man who was known for his extreme
"niceness, and particularly about his
food. He was such a man as the yer
nacular "nice tasty" describes. He
accepted the wager, walked into the
restaurant and swallowed the oyster
whole.
"W ELL was the astonished ejacula-
ton Of the restauranter. Il did not be-
lieve it could be done. Three men
have tried to swallow that very oyster
and couldn't do it."
The "nice" man was so disguised
that the oyster refused to stay in his
new abode.
