A Remarkable Book by Rev. T. Dewitt
TalmaRe. d. D.

This is said to be year of remarkable books
but doubtless the most remarkable that will ap
pear for some time to come is Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage's new work on the - Life of Christ" and
Palestine and its People," Some idea of what
the book contains and how it was prepared may
be obtained by reading the following extract
from the Doctors preface:
I'm my American home, on the Atlantic, on
Mediterranean, on camel's back, on mules back,
ON horseback, under chandelier, by dim candle
in tent, on Lake Galilee, in convent, at Bethel
where Jacobs pillow was stuffed with dreams,
and the angels of the ladder landed; at the brook
Elah, from which little David picked up the am
munitiOn of five smooth stones, four more than
were needed for crushing like an egg-shell the
skull of Goliath in the Valley of Ajalon, over
which, at Joshuas command, Astronomy halted;
on the plain of Esdraelon, the battlefield of
ages its long red flowers suggestive of the blood
dashed to the bits of the horses brides amid
the shattered masonry of Jericho, in Jerusalem
that overshadows all other cities in "Reminiscences,
at Cana where plain water became festal beVer-
age, on Calvary whose aslant and ruptured rocks
still show the effects of the earthquake at the
awful hemorrhage of the five wounds that pur-
chased the worlds rescue, and with my hand
mittened from the storm, or wet from the Jor-
dan, or barred to the sun, or gliding over smooth
table, this book has been written"
This book will certainly be worth reading and
preserving. 1t is not only life of Christ from
an entirely new standpoint, but it is also a very
interesting history of a country and people who
occupy prominent place in the thoughts and
feelings of all Christian nations. The large num-
m HOW Land with which the volume ann 4
trated, give it a special interest and value. We
cannot all go to Palestine. but this elegant book
through the aid of its pictures and DIR. Talmage's
wonderful descriptions accompanying them
brings Palestine to our very doors. The book is
indeed positive necessity to proper under
standing of the Bible accounts of places and
events. We can understand and appreciate
Bible history all the better when we see photo
graphic representations of the places where this
history was made. From Manger to Throne
marks new era in the literature of Bible lands,
and we are not surprised to learn that the de-
mand for the book is phenomenal. 1t is sold on

Ofnovel applications of electricity there is
no end Bakers are now using the electric
motor as bread mixer, and are thus enabled

he has frequently obtained much relief from

The Habit of Profanity-It is a National
Characteristic.-On Sunday night last Rev.
A. H. Studebaker, pastor of the First English
Luthern Church, Baltimore, preached on the
subject of profanity. He said: Profanity
has become so prevalent as to deserve the dis
tinction of being called a national characters
tic, fact over which no thoughtful citizen can
feel like rejoicing More than the immoral
poor and the hOpelessly abanOned indulge in
it. To be poor is not necessarily to be bad, nor
to be wealthy necessarily paragon of excel
lence. Many man who lives on good street
and drives his pair and affects great superior
ity of position and influence in the social world
is moral leper, no better in Gods sight than
if he lived in an alley and dressed in rags.
The brazen impudence of the vice is astound-
ing. The slanderer enjoins secrecy, the lecher-
Gus creep to their haunts in darkness, the
drunkard chooses night for his rcvels, the thief
is careful not to steal before witnesses, the muir
derer selects favorable time and place. Not
one sin can be named that is committed so pub
licly and so defiantly as is prOfane swearing.
It's utter uselessness seems to be forgotten. 1t
will not stop the rain or remove the annoying
stump for the farmer; it will not find a wrong
entry or discover false addition for the wor-
ried bookkeeper; it will not help the merchant
who is carrying heavy stock on falling
Market it will not make the refractory stove
pipe do as is desired; it will not multiply orders
or reduce losses from bad debts or lessen pain,
or add dignity, or increase happiness. Its prac-
teal benefit is absolutely nothing. Its blasting
effect on individual character is undeniable.
The man who lets himself down to indulgence
in this vulgar vice is wanting in one of the
first essentials of true manliness-self-re respect.
He inflicts upon himself injuries that inevita-
bly, result in moral deformity Nor is its in
fluence upon ones associates less baneful. 1t
never adds to the truth of any statement, it
never makes falsehood less unture it indi-
Gates no culture, it proves nothing is unpar-
addicted to this vile practice stop it at once.
Trife no longer with the Almighty. whose
word is pledged to punish all who take His
name in vain"

Long Green, 18th DiStrict.-The singing
school which meets at Unionville has rendered
to the teacher, Miss Nelly R. Chenworth, acom-
plimentary musical entertainment which will
be given Thanksgiving night, November 9th,

joyable affair in every particular.
Your correspondent experienced the pleasure
(?) of riding six miles on a raw day to deposit
ballot and saw number ofpersons who came
eight or more miles for the same purpose
don't wonder that it is impossible to obtain a
full expression of opinion at the polls. Now,
Messrs. Editors, instead of three precincts in
this district there should be at least six. For
instance, Unionville is a central point and
ought to be one of the voting places. The
voters in this immediate locality are numerous,
and farmers don't want to make a-half days
journey to and from their voting place.
AT the residence of his sister, near Sweet Air,

room to see why he did not come down, when
they found him dead. His remains were sent

How Timothy" Grass Got it's Name,
An exchange says: 1--WE have often wondered
why our common hay grass Timothy" re-
ceived its queer name and have lately seen an
explanation of it which we think worth re-
printing Timothy or herds grass is the most
common grass of continental Europe, growing
wild throughout all that vast region between
the Mediterranean sea on the South and the
North. 1t is not known exactly when it
was first introduced into the United States,
but this BIS much much Is known IT takes It name name
land, who brought it into general notice as a
hay grass after he had cultivated it extern
sively for his own use for years. The botani-
cal name for grass is phleuns pratense. 1t is
curious fact, although its native home is Eu-
rope, the United States is the first country in
which it was grown, cut and cured for hay.
No longer than 1855 some timothy heads and
seed were taken to England and exhibited as
curiosities."

peared to take any interest was the Prohibi-

all day and waited to see the votes counted at
night. The result of their efforts was that they
got in 6 more votes than the Republicans.
