to the correspondents of the Herald

the grandest work that all can aid in

contribute that to the press which will
help offices build up some other poorer

think themselves too old to attend /;
they may teach the more in experience
if they be too well versed in Bible his

ing good work and are now preparing
to entertain visitors, both strange and
familiar, on April 10 and 20. This
years work has been more thorough
than heretofore, consequently the mark
of advancement is visible upon the
pupils. The health of our community
is very good and the appearance of the
place is improved by the erection of
nice buildings in our midst by several
citizens. This part of the county is
rather lively with all kinds of bust

S, FEBRUARY vas born Sept. 26, 1892 and
died March 20, 1894, after a short illness
that vas not regarded as dangerous.
Her death was not only a great shock
to the family, but occurred in bed be-
tween her mother and grand mother
so quietly, that neither of them knew
it until her father went to the bed about
8 Am. to see how she was, and found
the child dead.
Flossie was the charm of the home,
aud the delight of her parents. No
earthly object can supply the joy and
comfort she gave father and mother,
but her memory and presence in the
better land will make heaven more real
and precious to them. May the COM
forts and consultations of our Heavenly
Father, support the bereaved ones in
their loss and distress, is the wish and
prayer of every sympathetic heart in
our town.

WISE DAUGHTERS.
To say chemistry and astronomy owe
their birth to alchemy and astrology,
and are thus the wise daughters OF fool
ish mothers, is to judge falsely OF the
progression Of the human mind.
One child, Astronomy, gazss on the
stars they shine In the heavens, with
out imagining that the possess any in
fuence over the course Of events pass
ing on earth; the other, Chemistry, ad-
mires the color and brillisncy Of piece
OF gold or silver, and, il it is not misled,
will no more imagine that il is within
the range of art to faoricate a metal
than to create piece OF wood or flint.
But when q people. acquainted only
with the native gold deposited in their
rivers, saw this metal extracted from
body displaying no outward indication
Of its presence, the belief was natural
that various substances were capable OF
being transmitted into gold by means oil
peculiar process, of which few SUI
perlor beings alone possessed the secret.
The knowledge OF such wonderful ART
being pasSionately desired by the avar'
icious, caused attempts and inquiries 10
be multiplied and brought 10 bear on
all the various bodies in nature, aud
alchemy arose out Of the Ignorance OF
true science.
From the observations OF the stars the
return OF the seasons and several
meteorological phenomena were pre-
dcted by the priest. He regulated az
ricultural iabors in rational manner,
and foretold its probable success with
tolerable exactness. The ignorant men,
therefore, under his direction, set nc
bounds In their own minds TO the power
OF science, and doubted not that the
futurity of the moral world, as we'll as
that Of the physical, was TO be read In
the face OF the starry heavens. In this
mistaken idea they were not undecsived
by the priest, and from the remotest
times astroIogy has held place among
the sacred sciences. and over portion
OF Asia it still preserves the empire

cine has often allayed, and even pre-
vented, the return of pain 10 a limb.
But the physicians belonging to the
acred caste led the multitude to believe
mat the efficacy OF the remedy depend
ed entirely on the hand that admins
tered it, and which alone could Undue
1t with its healing virtue.
In consequence OF the belief 10 this
doctrine, the charlatsn was supposed
by the credulous to impart to these ben
eicial substances not only the power OF
curing existing diseases, but the iDfn-
ence OF preserving them from those
which were likely TO occnr in the future.
From this successful application of local
remedies sprang the belief OF the super
natural properties assigned TO amulets
or talismans. Here controversy again
played part. Figures borrowed from
il are traced on many OF these amulets.
The most celebrated. the Abraxas,
