may be cured by the following process:

out without stammering. In this pro-

BRAEpYwINB SUMMIT, Aug. n, '79.


Messrs. Editors: Your correspondent
at Brandywine Summit camp meeting
grounds complains Of the unnecessary
desecration Of the Sabbath which is al
lowed here, and thinking that such an
assertion might mislead some who are
not in the habit Of tenting upon or
f equently visiting these grounds, allow
ne to say that no unnecessary desecra-
ton is allowed-no stand is allowed to
open on that day except the oats and
bread and cake stand, and the latter
only allowed at time when the neces-
sites Of the case demands ito supply
the hungry and those who feel it too
expensive to procure dinner for them
selves and families, which your cores
pondent should not object to, as he
complains of things being too expen-
sive here, and this affords one of the
cheapest means of sustenance. The
ice cream stand is closed during the
entire day-no tobacco or any other
unnecessary articles being allowed to
be sold at any time during the day.
Again he complains of the want of
spiritual manifestations. Allow me to
suggest that perhaps he forms his opin-
ion from the view he obtains from his
standpoint, which may be too far of !;
and perhaps if his genial spirit more
frequently aided in the prayer meet
ings for the spiritual advancement OF
the meeting he would be better prepar-
ed to Judge and to render to the mana
gers stricter JUSTICE.

AS there seems to be good deal of
diphtheria among children, 1 wish to
submit recipe which, if followed, will
prove q sure cure. I have tried it, and
can testify to its value from experience.
It is as follows: Take a tablespoonful
of sulphur and put it in goblet full of
water; give tablespoonful of this ev-
cry three or four hours, and let the
child swallow it; in addition to this,
get one of the small tin pipes used by
children to encase slate pencils in at
school, close the tube so that you can
blow through it; get a little of the
powder into the tube, insert the tube
into the child's mouth almost down to
the membrane, and blow through the
tube. This will scatter the sulphur all
over the membrane, and will cut it out
of the throat and follow it through the
stomach, thereby not allowing the dis
ease to poison the blood. I have used
this recipe in my family on four occa-
sions, and have found it certain cure>

The 1st thing to make a good quire
singer is to giggle little. Put up your
hair in curl papers every Friday mite
soze to have it in good shape Sunday
morning. If your daddy is rich you
can buy some store hair; if he is very
rich buy some more and build it up high
upon your head; then git a high priced
bunnet that runs up very high, at the
high part of it, and git the milliner to
plant some high grown artafShels onto
the highest part of it. This will help
you to sing high, as sophrano is the
highest part.


When the tune is Civ out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giggle. Giggle
a good eel.


Whisper to the girl next you that EN-
Jones, which sets on the I'd sect from
the front on the left hand side, has her
bunnet with the same color exact she
had last year, and then put up your book
to your face and giggle.


Object to every tune unless there is a
solow into it for the sOphrano. Coff
and ham good eel before you begin to
sing.


When you sing solow shake the ar
tifchels off your bunnet, and when you
come to high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist your head to one side, and
open your mouth the widest on that
side, shet the eye on the same side jest
