 The literary club on last Tuesday evening with Misses Palmer and Dun- ming was we'll attended and most en- joyable. All appreciated the Men. delssohn music, it being the eve of the Tooth birthday of the great com poser. The club on last Tuesday even- ing met with Miss Church and was much enjoyed. Next Tuesday, the 17th, it will be held at Maple Cor ner, and start again in it's circuit of the Hill. The invitation is general. If you can't come every time, come when you can make it convenient.
 We have just received delightful letter from Mrs. Eliza Holt Thorne, daughter of General Holt. She is a Press subscriber, and "reads religious, ly every item from her native town. " She enjoyed the birthday letter to Mrs. Carpenter (who she we'll remem bers with her sisters in the Baptist choir). written by her cousin, John Merrick. She was sorry not to have known of Mrs. Holman's being in Chioago, but hopes to arrange for a visit from her on her return. She mentions with regret the death of her genial and hospitable old friend.

 Good to Remember.
 A church somewhere, no matter where, prints on the back of little slips programs denoting the order of serv- fce-these words:
 will not worry.
 I will not be afraid.
 I will not give way to anger.
 I will not yield to envy, jealousy or hatred
 I will be kind to every man, woman and child with whom I come in con- tact
 I will be cheerful and hopeful.
 I will trust in God and hravely face the future.
 Read them again; they are worth while. You might cut them out and paste them in your hat, indeed. If you will resolve to live by them-even for one week-you will be a great deal better for it. If you will get these words into your mind-good and strong you will find that living up to them supplies you with all the religion. all the philosophy you need. You cannot go wrong if you follow these precepts. Washington Herald.
