Let honesty be as the breath of thy
soul and never forget to have a penny
when all thy expenses are enumerated

point of happiness, and independence
shall be thy shield and buckler, thy he'll

upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch

Rev. II L. McNabb, a returned
missionary from China occupied the
M. E. pulpit last Sabbath. Dr. Nc
Nabb preached very able sermon on
missions, giving his large audiance
many new ideas concerning the celes,
tials and their strange land. One
striking point was, that his wife never
had occasion to lock her house in his
absence, all their belongings being in
no danger from thieves or tramps,
while in Topeka, holy Topeka, she
had to double lock it every night. He
explained the cause of the recent
massacre of missionaries, attributing
it to local riot caused by the op-
preston OF the Chinese mandarin,
He stated that more Chinese had been
killed in single riot in this country
than have Americans been killed in
China in thirty-four years. His lee
ture was well attended and abounded
in interesting information concerning
this remarkable people.

fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
