The Case Of DR.. BRIGGS.

The speaker said that the Nicene Greed
was charter of liberty. II freed Chris
tians from nine-tenths of the burning
questions with which Professionalism is on
FIRE today What the Nicene Greed afiirns,
however, was bounden upon every loyal
child Of church To deny the affirmation
of that creed was to be disloyal. The great
creed was a reconciliation of Christianity
with the historic religions Of the past. In
conclusion he said:
Through every branch Of Christendom the
strife Of creeds is seen The mind Of man is
seeking a creed form for his faith, under which
he can rest with intellectual honesty and with
spiritual satisfaction. He cannot find such a
shelter under the Reformation confessions Of
faith, with their long drawn metaphysics their
intolerable opinionativeness their inf;dlibility
in points where knowledge is blasphemy Could
our Protestant churches today be content ia
part with their Reformation confessions Of faith
and fall back upon that great Catholic creed
which has come down through the centuries
there would be an end of strife and contention
Well nigh every battle waged in our sister
churches would cease at once. Dr. BridgInan
would not have 10 leave his pastorate on the
question Of future punishment. DR.. Briggs

Taking it Literally.
From the Peoples Fireside Journal.

Among the scholars, when Lamb and
Coleridge attended school, was a poor cler-
gyman's son of the name of Simon Jen-
nings. On account of his dismal and
gloomy nature his playmates had named
him Pontius PLATE. One morning he went
up to the master, DIR. Boyer, and said, in
his usual whimpering manner: "Please,
doctor, the boys call me Pontius PLATE. :"
If there was one thing which DIR. Boyer
hated more than a false quantity in Greek
and Latin it was the practice of hickman
ing. Rushing down among the scholars
from his pedestal Of state, with cane in
haud, he cried, with his usual voice of
thunder: "Listen, boys; the next time |
hear any of you say 'Pontius Plate I'll
cane you as long as this cane will last !
You are to say Simon Jennings and not
'Pontius Plate Remember that, if you
value your hides" Next day the same
class were reciting the Catechism, when a
boy of remarkably dull and literal turn of
mind had to repeat the creed. He had got
as far as suffered under" and was about
popping out the next word, when the doc
tors prohibition unluckily flashed upon his
obtuse mind. After moments hesitation
he blurted out, Suffered under Simon
Jennings, was" The next sentence
was never uttered, for Dr. Boyer had al
ready sprung like tiger upon him, and
the cane was descending upon his unfortu-
nate shoulders. When the irate doctor
had discharged his cane storm upon him,
he said "What do you mean, you BOBBY,
by such blasphemy ?" 81 only did as you
told me, replied the simple minded youth
''Did as | told2" roared the doctor, now
wound up to something above boiling point
"What do you mean?" As he said this
he instinctively grasped the cane more furi-
ously. eyes, doctor, you said we were
always to call Pontius Plate Simon Jen-
nings Didn't he, Sam r. appealed the un-
fortunate culprit to Coleridge, who was next
to him. Sam said naught, but the doctor,
who saw what Ounce he had to deal with,
cried "Boy, you are fool Where are
your brains p Poor DIR. Boyer for a second
time was "foored, for the scholar said,
with an earnestness which proved its truth,
but to the intense horror of the learned po-
tentate In my stomach, sir" The doe
tor always respected that boys stupidity
after that, as though half afraid that a
stray blow might be unpleasant.

Sanitary Qualities of Watorcress and
Onions.


The watercress is plant containing very
sanitary qualities. A curious characteris-
tic of it is that, if grown in ferruginous
stream, it absorbs into itself FIVE times the
amount of iron that any other plant does
For all an@mic constitutions it is, there
fore, specially of value. But it also con-
tains proportions Of garlic and sulphur, Of
iodine and phosphates, and is blood puri
fer, while abroad it is thought most
wholesome eondiment with meat, roast or
grilled. The cultivated plant is rather
more easy of digestion than the wild one.
Botanically the onion belongs to the lily
family. The odor OF the vegetable, which
is what makes it so unpleasant, is due to a
volatile oil, which is the same as that in
garlic, though in the onion it is milder and
naturally does not last so long. There are,
besides, easy ways Of removing at once all
unpleasantness from the breath. A little
parsley or few grains of coffee, or even a
swallow or two Of milk, il taken after eat
ing, proves an effective remedy Boiled
onions are the least Questionable in regard
to odor, and are as easily digested as any.
The oil in the onion passes off in the water
i. which the vegetables are boiled, aud it
the kettle be kept closely covered and the
water changed after they have boiled five
minutes, aud then again ten minutes later,
there will be no odor through the house,
and the onions win be white instead Of
gray, as they So often are. Besides being
rich in Hesh-forming elements, raw onions
Are especially gcodin breaking up heavy
cold, they are also stimulating to faiigued
persons aud are Otherwise beneficial.

FAREWELL TO 1889.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY OLIVE LUCILLE.


IMEssRs. VANDERFoRD BRoTHERs-Dear Sis:-
About eighteen months ago there was piece of
poetry in your valuable paper entitled, Farewell TO
1889" written by 'Oliye Lucfle'' Who the writer
is we know not but as there is striking beauty and
peculiar loveiness about her writings and poetry,
we ask OF you as special favor II you WILL this one

contained the poetry, has been sought for by many,
quest and oblige many ofyour friends,
Yours respectfully, NJ. J. Cl
Yes. the dear old year is dead
Yet time rolls on.
Oh, whispering winds breathe soft and low,
For thy sad moan through the leafess forest trees
Might disturb the repose of this hour,
For the dear old year is dying,
Yes the dear old year is dead.
And for thee heave many a sigh, for thou hast
a true friend aud thy portals are closed;
And at the thought bitter anguish swells within my
heart,
And burning tears fall for thy death,
Fond memory of thee
III ne'er forget many day dreams have ended with
thee,
Perchance for all some sweet hope lies buried
deeply,
Maybe from all human eyes and none but God
May ever hear our bursting heartfelt sighs
For the departed year.
Farewell. old year, farewell!
The moon and stars shine brightly now for thee,
The gentle winds wait softly DER the earth
Like some sweet harp's chord touched by angels
hand,
Or murmuring waves upon the far-off stand,
To ease the weary hearts of those who sigh
For the dead year.
Farewell, farewell:
Thou art gone forever, friend of the past.
And with the dead year eternity's dawn may soor
be ours;
pray to God to guide and light my faltering foot
steps
Beyond the flight of time. For all must enter the
portals
When this short life is ended. And the throbbinl
heart will cease.
And life has ebbed away. Our vain illusions
OF some fairy land unseen in the happy visions
ofsome youths day dream is vivid for a time,
But soon to be awakened
In the dim land of dreams.
Farewell to the old year!
The relentless time rolls on;
1t hath no pity even for friend or foe;
Thy mercy's shown alike to all mankind
'Tis for a time, and all leave here below
To sink into oblivion, and forget, in time,
Like thee, old year, farewell
The year has gone,
And with it many a glorious throng of happ!
dreams,
And at its close how many lips are now
Sealed in death? Standing at the Heavenly portal
To enter the pearly gates, and left behind
So many hearts crushed with grief,
All sad and desolate.
And ere the morning dawns another year has COM
And taken thy place, old year;
And you will soon stand in the country ofLong Ago
By the side of the river of time
bid thee farewell forever farewell. old year
