THE good, plain and solid work which

upon any OF the winds Of doctrine that

and We are glad to know that sill the
evangelical ministers In charge OF
churches in the city or labUTing here as

him. As President Lincoln used to say,
1T is no time to swap horses when

softened it by steady appeals, and is in
the act Of moulding it in the christian
gracesl making it better for the work Of

have failed to agree upon ever since
Paul withstoOd Peter to bis face. Whit
tie is TOO wise, is too much in earnest
for thst sort Of thing. He leaves it for
conteniOus-sOuled, calculating, small
theolCgians, who are never so happy as
when they put christian philosophy out
Of sight and engage in the division and
subdivision Of dogma that is confusion
and stumbling block even to them.
Whittle is right. He reaches his work
from common sense stand
point, Il is bslter to be good than
bad he says, and then he points the SIM
PIE way to good life and living. In this
he is doing Memphis positive benefit,
and the man who stands in the way Of
il, under any pretense, however lofty, is
simply endeavoring to do this commu-
nifty an injury-sn Injury no one man
can ever repair. He is setting an ex-
ample OF contention that is the opposite
Of christian feeling, brings religion into
contempt, and is a hindrsnce to the
growth Of the brOtherly love that should
subsist between all who profess and call
themselves christians.

For the GAZETTE


ST. GEORGES HD., Dec. 0, 1875.


To the Editor of the Gazette Being
In your city on Friday TO attend the
market, my attention was attracted by
the Wilmington "Shinners. In every
alley wherever one could put his
head, you would see him trying to
sell meat, but an honest hard working
farmer must not offer to sell meat; SO
say your butchers. But they are anx-
ious to mix themselves in with the
far Imers whenever an opportunity /,
offered. Are the people of Whining
ton and also the people of New Castle
county going to allow about $50 butch
ers rule, and say what shall be brought
to market for the wants of the peoples
If we are to be ruled and told what
we shall bring to market, J suppose in
a little while these would-be despots
will tell us what We shall raise. IF .
farmer has not the right to bring to
market meat OF his own raising, he al
so has no right to bring poultry, but.
ter, eggs and vegetables. Better stop
them altogether as they have become
common nuisance. Ask your mer-
chants if they want the street market
broken up. think they will answer
no; they will say the market people
leave too much money here to drive
them out. The butchers have carried
this meat business to q very high point,
and it is no uncommon thing TO arrest
the farmer, and fine him $40 for
breaking a City Ordinance. To the
surprise OF the Justices of the Peace,
some Of our farmers would not pay
the fine and have taken their suits to
New Castle; to be tried by q jury, (by
the way wish it could be all farmers)
and see if they can't have justice
| meted out to them. Why should the
butchers OF the city of Wilmington,
have any more rights than any other
butchers in the State. They pay no
more revenue, nor half as much as
some of our farmers do. suppose it is
because they are in the city Of VIII
mington and get City Council to act in
their behalf. Wonder if we country
folks had not better get Council to help
us also. The laws of our State do not
forbid uskilling meat and exposing the
same for sale. They do not say We
shall not take it to Wilmington, and
that the city of Wilmington has char
ter to enact any such laws. This State
is supposed to be a 1rec one, but some
few would like to rule it. Meanwhile
there are others who would like 10
live. FARMER

"My old friend, Rossiter," says q

after that. Rossiter found another
contrivance which worked better.
The alarum clock struck q match
which lighted the lamp which boiled
the water for Rossiter's shaving. If
Rossiter stayed in bed too long, the
water boiled over upon his razor and

all other precious things he could put
in basin underneath when he went

In large majority of cases, says the
Journal of Health, it will be found
that the best and heartiest meal of the
day should be eaten in the morning.
If the closing repast of the day has
not been eaten too late, or has not been
excessive in quantity or indigestible in
quality, the stomach viii be active in
the morning after the individual has
enjoyed cool bath. The stomach win
then respond quickly with the necos-
sary gastric juice for the solution of
food, and. if a fair amount of exercise
is taken during the day, a large mass
of food viii be assimilatcd and con-
verted into blood and tissue. With a
good, substantial breakfast no great
amount of food will be required dur
ing the remainder of the day. One
further meal will be ample, and that
might better be taken at from two TO
three O'Clock in the afternoon than at
any later period, if business engage

ments only permitted it.


The breakfast may be made from any
kind of wholesome food. and the fewer
kinds the better. The dinner should
be light and readily digested, if sound
sleep is desired and strong appetite
and perfect powers of digestion next
day. If hunger comes, a bowl Of sweet
milk and well-cooked mush Of Indian
meal, or other unbolted grain, will al
lay it, and viii digest quickly. One
square meal' in every twenty-four
hours is all that can be taken care of
by many weak stomachs, and more
than this is an excess and induces head
ache, nausea and distress. If dinners
were abandoned, and especially late
and heavy dinners, myriads Of dyspep-
ties would be cured. But under the
exigencies of city life late dinner
cannot well be avoided. This need
not be the tremendous meal it is Gus
tomary to make il, if the breakfast be
substantial and nutritious, aud not
