What the South Did for Slavery.

an er

™he Rev. Edward L. Pell, of this
city (born in Nerth Carolina) is col-
lecting material tor a history of the
efforts made by tbe south for the moral
elevation of the negro before the var.
The facts of such a history, while not
easily available, are more. abundant
than is generally supposed, Not only
did ihe churches of the south spend
large sums of money in missionary
work among the blacks, but it was "101
uncommon for persons who owred a
Lb Lr of slaves to have a place of
worship for them, and to have a
preacher employed for their special
ministry. Moreover, every white
church bad its contingent of colored
members, who had a_ voice in the
management of church affairs, and so
sacred was this tie that many of the
colored people continued their mem-
bership in the white churches even
after they were emancipated. The
offorts of individual laymen, 4, for
example, Stonewall Jackson, in the
Sunday school for slaves came into
their possession. Instead of the many
public charities in which they sre en-
gaged today, they devoted their time
to the instruction of the slaves and the
amelioration of their condition. Svek
any old negro and ask |:im where he
got his religious instruction, and he
will almost invariably tell you that he
owes it to “Ole Miss,” who had him at
the “gre’t house” on Sunday morniny,
read to him and his companions s<lec
tions from the Scriptares, and
expounded their xeaning.—Richmond

In their efforts to reduce the

Food, Work and Sleep. .

What a great mistake it is to con-
tend that time taken from toil for
sleep.and recreation is time lost!
Theré ig no greater fallacy, for sleep
and recreation form, as it were, the
cement put in to fill up the joints in
order to keep out the weather and
preserve the edifice. A man does
not necessarily require riches, hon-
ors or office—although the majority
of us naturally have an ambition to
attain one of these desiderata—but
he does need food, work ‘and sleep.
It follows, therefore, that he should
uso every means to promote life,
and,among these there are three
things to be kept in mind. Whena
man denies himself sleep, food and
the exercise work gives both to
brain and body, he is robbing his
life of its full term. Let him be
cheerful also, for the body is like an
engine—it will run well and long if
it is well oiled. Contentment and
cheerfulness are the oil which keeps
the nerves from wearing out.—Now

“Up to him and down upon him,”’
said his lordship. ‘‘What does this

“Why, I mean, my lord,’’ said the
witness, ‘‘that as deepas he thought

When his lordship still insisted
that he did not understand what was
meant, the witness exclaimed, ‘‘Lord,

If he had only said ‘‘on to him,”
his lordship would have ‘“‘tumbled

THE LATEST FEAR.

ee

Time was, I said, I fear not death, /
For death is bnt the end—

Darkness, a pang, a failing breath —
That heals what love can’t mend.

My God! I cried, it is this life,
Not death, my soul doth fear—

The pain, the shiame, the lonely atrife,
Despair—and no goal near.

lliv’d. The shame, the pain liv’d, too,
The lonely strife held on; '
« But, how it was I never knew,
Despair one day was gone.

Despair was gone, and dread no more
Of life or death I knew—

God's light was where, an hour before,
My sin its shadow threw.

“Ah, now I fear not death, I cried,
Nor pain nor lonely days,
Yet still a doubt unsatisfied
Within my bosom stays.

I fear the days of coming age
When sense and reason fail—

I fear lest ere death turn the page
Fear should again prevail.

But still I lived, and curtained night
Closed round my failing mind.
Age’stole away my body’s sight,
But left the soul’s behind.

My latest fear had come to me—
But was it fear at all?

True, thought and wit and memory
Were gone beyond recall,

But kindness staid and sympathy
And sense that God is near,
And all argund a mystery
Of love that casts out fear.
—London Spectator.

 

In an Old Cane.

A dear friend of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and a man
of eminence in letters, was shown
over the cathedral of Lichfield by
the then dean. As a souvenir of his
visit he was presented by the dean
with a curious and handsome cane
which some years previously. had
been dug out in the course of some
alterations. For years my friend
used this, until the top came off,
and the revelation was made that
the cane was hollow. Thrusting
down a finger, the owner brought
out a vellum missive. This proved
to be a Jetter to the Earl. of Essex,
signed by Charles I, asking him to
bring over his army to the royal
side and promising in recompense
for so doing his own gratitude and
the richest reward that monarch
could bestow upon a subject.

After the death of my friend I
was permitted to show the treasure,
for such, in fact, it was, at the Brit-
ish museum. Alas for the hopes
that had been formed! Mr. Warner
brought me out a practical facsimile,
and told me that others were in ex-
istence. Copies had been made and
several had been dispatched by dif-
ferent hands in the hope that one
might reach the earl. The copy I
held had obviously failed to reach,

though the ingenious plan of con-

ceaiment prevented its detection un-
til the days of Queen Victoria.—

During the visit of George IV to

the Emerald Isle there were, Moore
tells us, many good things said.
* delighted
with his majesty’s affability, said to

| the tollkeeper, as the king passed

through, ‘Och, now, and his majes-

ty, God bless him, never paid the |

turnpike! And how’s that?’ ‘Oh,
kings never does! We lets ’em go
free!’ was the answer. ‘Then there’s
the dirty money for ye,’ says Pat.
‘It shal] never be said that the king
came here and found nobody to pay
the turnpike for him.’ Muvore, on
his visit to Abbotsford, told this
story to Sir Walter, when they were
comparing notes as to the tworoyal
visits. ‘Now, Mr. Moore,’ replied
Scott, ‘there you have just the ad-
vantage of us. There was no want of
enthusiasm here. The Scotch folk
would have done anything in the
world for his majesty but—pay the
turnpike.’ ”’

TO CUR" NERVOUS DYSP*PSIA

 

To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
- Digestion Mean, Make a Test
of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets.

Interesting Experience of an Indianap-
olis Gentleman.

 

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mis*hief is lost sight of, the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.

Nervous dysreptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perh ps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. “ervous dyspep-
sia shows itself notin the stomach so
much as in nearly every other orgar, in
some e°ses the heart palpitates and is
irregular, in others the kidneys are
affected, in ethers the bowels are con-
stipate@, with headaches, still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.

Mr A W Sharper of No 6! Pro:pect
St Indianapolis, Ind., wri‘es as follows:
A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart’s
Dyspepsia ‘Tablets. I have been a
sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years, bave uged various pac-
ent medicines and other remedies
without any favorable result, They
sometimes give temporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. I
att‘'buted ‘his to my ecdentary h«bits,
being a bookkeeper with ‘ittle physics!
exercise, hut I am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these obsta-
cles tor] haye gained in flesh, sl«-p
better «and am better in every way.
The above is written not fce> n otorety
but is bused on actual fac’.

Story of the Adventure of a Bookworm
and His Funny Friends,

Harding worked in a bank. By
inclination he was a bookworm, also

‘| by occupation. In common with

many othér bookworms his chief
complaint was that he did not have
enough money to give his collecting
instincts free play.

There was a Mrs. Harding.

Her principal complaint was that
s0 much of Harding’s money went

for books.

Quite recently that person who
crept into the ark under cover of
darkness—to wit, one book agent—
made his appearance at Harding’s
office. He had a whole lot of books,
and Harding wanted most of them,
The argument was that ‘‘you only
have to pay 50 cents a week, and as
soon as you make the first payment
you get the books. Only so many
of this edition to be printed, and in
six months your copy will be worth
twice what you pay for it.”’

So Harding decided to buy an edi-
tion of Dumas and an edition of Vic-
tor Hugo.. He paid his first install-
ment down, and the next day tho
books were delivered at the bank.
The agent remarked that he would
have the books sent to Harding's
house in Brooklyn if he so desired,
but Harding declared that for cer-
tain reasons he would rather have
them sent to the bank. Of course
everybody in the bank knew why.

“Tl just take Victor Hugo home
tonight,’’ he said, ‘‘and see how
Mrs, Harding likes him.”

Victor Hugo went to Brooklyn
last night, and the latest reports
were that Mrs. Harding didn’t lke
him at all, In fact, Harding said
the next day that he really had nev-
er seen any one so provoked in all
his life as Mrs. Harding was when
she heard that the money that
should have bought dresses for the
girls had gone for bocks.

“Tl just have these books of Du-
mas kept here for a few days,’”’ add-
ed Harding, ‘‘and let Mrs. Harding
get over Hugo before I show her
Dumas.”

The books were packed away.
They made quite a respectable bun-
dle and weighed a good deal.

A week passed, and Harding an-
nounced with great glee that he had
broached the subject to Mrs. Hard-
ing and that she had forgiven him
for spending the money on Dumas
as she had forgiven him the Victor
Hugo purchase.

“Tl take them home tonight,’’ he
announced, and an hour or so later
he went out for luncheon.

While he was away the spirit of
evil entered into some of theeother
clerks, and they substituted in the
package for the books a number of
large bricks and many newspapers.
The books they stored away in a

else what they had done.
The whole office rejoiced to see

load of books that afternoon and
speculated on what Harding and
Mrs. Harding would say and do and
think when the package was opened
in Brooklyn that night.

The next morning the whole force
was on hand early to Jaugh at Hard-
ing, and. when he arrived the pre-
liminary guffaws were enjoyed, but

not much laughing.

‘‘What’s the matter, old man?”
asked his dearest friend, the one
who had substituted the bricks.

luck,’’ answered Harding. ‘You
know that edition of Dumas!”’
“Yes. What of it?”
‘Well, [had my wife reconciled
to my spending the money for the

them home. I got on the elevated
over in Brooklyn, and the guard
wouldn’t let me take the package
into the car. Ileft it on the plat-
form and took my eyes off it for two
minutes, and some confounded thief
walked off with it.”"—New York

ANTS AND FLIES.
A Naturaliat Proves How They Distribute
. Yeasts and Molds.

distribution of minute vegetable or-
ganisms has been made the subject
of an interesting investigation by
Dr. Amedeo Berlese at the Portici
Laboratory for Agricultural Chem-
istry. That they do perform this
task, often a very mischievous one,,
has long been known, but the pro-
fessor, as is shown in the current
number of Nature, has proved that,
for good or evil, they are more ac-
tive than had been hitherto ascer-
tained. Ants were the subjects of
his first experiments. He had fre-
quently detected the cells of two al-
coholic yeasts hidden in fissures of
the bark on the trunks of both fruit
and forest trees. These he suspected
to have been transported by the
ants, which were constantly travel-
ing up and down the trunks, and it
seemed likely that flies might co-op-
erate in the work. First, he ‘‘put
the question” to the ants. He col-
lected a large number of a species
which is very common in vineyards.
They were allowed access to bunches
of grapes which had been carefully
sterilized and afterward placed un-
der conditions that prevented the
possibility of any introduction of
molds or yeasts from the outer air.
The result, in less than a fortnight,
was that all the bunches which the
ants could visit were abundantly in-
fested with yeasts and molds, while
several others which had been pre-
served even for amuch longer time
in sterilized vessels from which the
ants were excluded, had neither
molds nor yeasts or bacteria on
their surfaces.

Dr. Berlese then turned his atten-
tion to the flies. His methods of in-
quisition, we fear, would not be ap-
proved by those who share Corporal
Toby’s view and are merciful even
to the house fly and the bluebottle.
In fact, these. torments of the hu-
man race must have had a decided-
ly bad time in the laboratory. The
first experiment, however, was sim-
ple and humane. A number of bits
of sterilized meat were set out ona
terrace, some of them covered by
i wire gauze, others accessible to the
| flies. After two hours’ exposure to

 

‘them and 13 to theair, yeasts were; S©

‘found to be much more abundant
‘In. the former—indeed Dr. Berlese
| estimates that the quantity of yeasts
conveyed by flies is about 26 times
| as great as is brought by the air.
Similar experiments were made
| with grapes, and with similar re-
sults. The next point to settle was
' the precise way in which the trans-
| port was effected. It was first ascer-
tained that fersments were often
more frequent li the bodies of cs
thanon the less and feet: vext,
cells simiiar to liogse of yeust vere
(letected in their excreta, Itremain-
ed, then, to study the passage of
these cells through tho digestive ap-
paratus of tueinsect. Common blue-
bottles, or meat flies, were selected
for (his purpose, and a large nu:n-
I ber of experiments were made? on
| {ue %, Ub ROINe vier TWes aur cs-
lary ..widges were also tested. [t was
proved in all cases that when
the jes were fed with sterilized
linatcrial the excreta contained no
yeasts, but when they had a diet of
| pure cultures of sundry yeast the
;excreta suoh conteined in great
| quantities the yeasts that were in
the food. These cells also were
;not dead, but living. If collected,
.they duly germinated and deve!
;oped, though the rate of the
“process aud the abundance of iio
