Mrs. JOE PERSON.
Madam On the 29th last Nav our boy
was born, we'll developed in every respect,
but when two months old the = King of
,, Terrors'' began to chisel about his little
| heart. Notwithstanding its plump and
vigorous constitution, the poison in the
blood soon began to manifest itself i'm what
the medical men termed "eczema, I" pur~
pura, hereditary taint,'' while some
old mothers concluded the yellow thrash"
had gone, through the child. Yet, what
certainly stubborn master for the doc
tors. The mother took the little sufferer
TO the country, hoping that the pure fresh
air might be beneficial. DR.. -, of
Lumberton, was called to treat the case !;
he pronounced it eczema, and did all he
could for it, but to no purpose any more
than to check the fever to which the disease
subjected him. At first frost the victim
was again removed to the city. DR..
was called; he pronounced the disease pur-
pura, and prescribed accordingly, feeding
up the disease on iron and other minerals
until the baby's mouth became so sore he
could not nurse at all. A friend suggested
as last hope and resort, Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy. All means to procure any more
help or medicine had failed, and in this
hour of darkest despair the poor mother
went and asked her druggist. DR.. Millar,
Of the Wash, but was refused ,yet, nothing
daunted, she pnaoned her aoedding ring for
tho Renaedy, and obtained $3.50 to pay for
it. When she gave the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the little fellow was
mass of scaly sores from the hips to the
knees, and at seven months old had never
borne his weight on his feet. To-day, by
the help of God and faithful admintStra-
ton of the Remedy he IS aoelI and strong in
the legs, and last Sabbath, while the moth
er was weeping over the necessity of dry
ing up her breast, he commenced nursing
as strong and vigorously as ever When
everything had been tried on our little
babe and failed. your Remedy was used
and has made perfect cure. The child
was two months old when he first broke
out, was seven months old when he began
the Remedy.

\ large audience greeted DR.. Suther-
land, last Sunday evening, when he preach
ed en-, or rather, against Woman Suffrage.
We should be glad to publish the entire
sermon, SO that our readers might know
what one of cur ablcst and foremost minis
tiers has to say in opposition to woman
suffrage, but our space will not admit of
the full sermon, ard we do not wish to
mar the argument by quoting passages.
We still adhere to the doctrine of wise old
Plato, VITO said. Sin the administration of
a State, neither a woman as a woman, nor
a man rs a man, has any special functions,
but the gifts are equally diifused in both
sexes" The notion that woman, in or
der to vote, must also sit as a juror, per-
form police service, and Dear arms, will
rot hold. Thousand of men who vote,
never sat on a jury, and never will. Null
titudts Of men never carry policemen's
clubs, yet they vote. Men vote, too, who
are exempt from a military duty. The
law exempts all men over 45 years of age
from this duty. All who are crippled,
those Who are deaf, lame, blind, toothless,
az cross-eyed are exempt from military
duty, but they can vote. John Quincy

Everybody is curious TO know what
course the Republicans will pursue at the
short session of Congress, and nobody
seems able to answer the conundrum. Re.
publican Senators, and Representatives,
who are daily arriving here, mako a bee line
for the White Heuse, as soon as the dust
of travel is removed from their whlskers,
but when asked what they propose deing
when Congress meets, they either refuse
outright to answer, or else answer in such
a way as to convey no information. It is
evident that they have not fully determined
themselves what they will do and probably
will not until some sort OF a conference or
caucus is held. and it is by no means
certain that an agreement can be reached.

The anuua al convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, which closes
its meetings to-day at Atlanta, Georgia,
went to that city under extraordinary cir
cumstapces OF invitation. 1t went at the
request of the Governor and Legislature of
Georgia, of the Mayor and Councils of At
Ianta, by an invitation which was read at
the last annual convention, held one year
ago in the city Of Chicago. This makes,
certainly, an important change and ad-
vance in public sentiment, when the of
fetal representatives and executives of
Ge0rgia's people, both in State and city,
desire TO honor publicly the useful work
these good women are engaged in. II
might even be said that the temperance
questions occupy a large share of attention
of Southern women (by reason of the
fewer public interests that are brought be-
fore them) thar these do in the North,
where the relations of temperance to many
public interests have led to the close fol-
lowing up Of political legislation as well

among the social labors that have been
undertaken by the evolution of the tenn

these active women, attempting to solve
such problems as are given the human

sleep. When asked by one in the audi
ence if the Esquimaux observed a day of
rest, the Sabbath, she replied: my peo-
pie have an every day rest; nobody
works" She says that the men hunt just
enough to keep them in blubber fat and
skins, and that is all. "What form OF
amusement have you up in Greenland"
some one asked. ave have two ways of
amusing ourselves, and two only, she re-
piled. Zone is to get on a dog sled and
skim over the ice and snow, and the other
to set in a circle about our snow huts and
tell which We think prettiest." They rub
themselves over with oil and never use
water. There are very old persons, she
says, in Greenland who have never once
washed their hands from the day of their
birth. They have no method of calculat-
ing time except by throwing a bone in a
bag every time the Sun appears at a certain
point.
The lecture, so called, of Miss X. was
more a descriptive talk than anything else,
and as such, coming from such a source,
was above criticism for the sufficient rea-
son that no one present was able to tell
whether her statements were strictly true
or otherwise. Coming back to Small,
everybody knows him as a speaker OF more
than national reputation, and yet We con-
fess to some disappointment on listening
to him on this our first and only opportu-
nifty. He was smooth, scholarly and ar
gumentive, and as a delineator of char
acter was not excelled by Cough in his
palmiest days, but then he adopted too
freely, for US at least, the old time gro
tesque way of treating a subject so broad
ard reformatory in its character as the
work Of to-day. To be sure
he had many fine points and some excel
lent, even Incompatible. passages in the
address, but we think the effect marred
somewhat by the flippant way in which
the subject was sometimes treated. As for
Maslin, he shonld be heard to be appreoi-
ated. and we trust II Woodstown friends
yet have the opportunity. His lee
ture on "The dark side o. iiie' We think
the most thrilling we ever listened to, and
seemed on the face of it more improbable
thar the widest flights Of fiction. Oar
readers may not be privileged 10 hear Sam
Small, and may be deprived Of seeing and
hearing the Esquimaux lady, but they
should at least hear Maslip.

As we stood, to-day beside the cold form
of one who had grown old in years, but not
in heart, we gazed into his peaceful face
and thought-'.he is not dead but Sleep
etn." And, such a beautiful sleep, so quiet,
so peaceful. Every feature bespeakiug for
his living moments, peace on earth, good
i'll toward men,"
Aaron Edwards. How 10 late wears We
had come to love that name. Because,
perhaps, in meeting him he was SO COM
panionable to his younger brothers and
sisters, his heart ever seemed open to new
duties, new views and new movements
that would best promote the present and
future happiness of his fellow-men.
Through numerous conversations with
him, we learned he had drawn no dead
line iD life saying thus far will | go, aud
no farther but on the contrary was ever
watchfui 10 follow the divine headings of
enlightened thought in his quiet. unosten-
tatious way, which those with louder
voices might do well to follow.
His is the first TO whom we have paid
a last tribute of respect, since we stood
beside ouI fathers grave.
What lessons we might learn from the
closing scenes of those two mem, did we
dare draw the curtains aside and gaze into
their LIES history. But a few short
months ago, after leaving the death
chamber of our parent, the recollections
of which always cause the line, 20 grave,
where is thy victory? 0 death. where is
thy stiDg?" to run through our mind, so
peaceful was his coming,-the first VT met
was this departed friend, who had come
in his then weakened health to render such
assistance as he could.
The greatest sadness of the large
number of relatives and friends gathered
to-day to take a final leave of all that
remained on earth of him, was occasioned
by the thought given us by a young sister
who spoke so feelingly of his absent
children in their far oft Western homes
who could not have reached the parent
roof in time to gaze into his silent face
once more. But to those two in their
bereavement, many hearts were drawn
through these few words so fifty spoken.
Many testimonies Of his righteous life
were given by Friends Allen Flitcraft,
Joel Borton, Joseph Livzey, Watson Tom
%iinsoD, Rachel Lippineott, Benjamin
Tyler and Mary E. Borton, and as a final
parting we can only repeat:
within this lowly grave a eonquerorl lies"

Miss Frances E. Willard, in her address
on THE White Cross in Education"
given before the National Educational AS
ISOLATION, at st. Paul, made the following
practical points: LET purity have the
first word. The child will ask questions
early; let not the coarse reply get in its
work before the chaste II comes. Science
is like fire, it buns aw ay dross. Tell him
what science says. Gods laws are all
equally clean and holy. Tell him of the
laws Of God. 1t is now taught by the best
scientists that young men of chaste life
make the most brilliant students, and for
hygienic reasons. Let the s~anctity of
potential parentage be invoked to offset
Let your watchword be one standard for
man and woman-a white life for two.
Teach girls the gospel of dress that i'm
poses no ligature. Let the teacher of
physical culture, whom | like to call a
s'moral horticulturist," traiu the children
not to permit the insignia III impurity upon
the walls, and not to accept debasiDg lit
erature upon the Fairgrounds. Put
women on the school boards that they
may help the teacher to guard the little
ones against these dangers. Ask our edu-
c~ational journals to establish a depart
mcnt devoted to the .White Cross and
Healthful Habits" ard let the purest
pens furnish the material for it's columns"

A whisky drinker will commit murder
only under the direct excitement ofliquor;
a beer drinker is capable of doing it in cold
blood. Long observation has assured us
that a large proportion of murders. de-
libe rately planned and executed without
passion or malice, with no other motive
than the acquisition of property or money,
often of trifling value, are perpetrated by
beer drinkers. We believe, further, that
the hereditary evils of beer drinking ex-
coed those proceeding from ardent spirits
first because the habit is constant and
without paroxysmal Interruptions, which
admit of some recuperation; secondly, be-
cause beer drinking is lracticed by both
sexes more generally than the spirit drink
ing, and thirdly, because the animalizing
tendency of the habit is more uniform, and
the vicious results are more generally
transmitted .-Pacifc Medical journal.
