Then there are dyes of various kinds to
make eggs every desired color, and on thes

Carrie,'' in TordVt Companion, March 31st,1
in an article on Easter, eggs, says ; "Often
wtfmaywlshs few white eggs which ire
especially lovely among the bright colors.
Tohavo them exceedingly pretty, melt A
little lard, and drop into it a piece of wax
about the size of a walnut. Into this-drop

vonr e?i? will look like carved ivorv." The
Yovttit Compquioft has a beautiful illustra
tion of a nest on ji stand. It as made by
taking four pieces of wire about half a yard
long, bent out at the top tp hold the nest,
then the four bound together to form the
stem, and each outspread at the bottom to
form the feet. Sew ralsin-stcms and little
twigs all over the Btanl,thcn dip it in scar

This stem looks like coral, and is a beauti
ful ornament for the table Make a nest ot
pasteboard by cutting four pieces twice as
wide at the top as at the Iwttom, and about
as ttigb'as the top is wifieycut a circular
piece for the; bottom, then sew the pieces
together. Sew or paste the nest with glue
or moss, or ra veilings of brown and .green
Brussels carpet or zephyr knitted and rav
elled out. The size of the nest i3 governed
by the size of the stand. You may put
leaves, flowers and Easter eggs combined in
the ncsthen place ft on the stand.
Eggs are beautiful pasted over 'with de-
calcomania pictures. At the drug-stores
you, can purchase dcniar varnish and balsam
of fir, equal parts of each, well mixed. For
jontside surfaces, use - denfar varnish alone,

make a tinv hole in each end and blow out
-the contents. If jou wish them soiid, fill
the shell with liquid plaster of paris. Take
two circular pieces of gold paper, about as
large as a ten-cent piece, notch the edges,

4. Growing"tut of this is the mixed state J
of the church. It is composed of a hetero-
rencous mass of elements, the formal and
worldly predominating and ruling. There
arc scores of churhes whose godly pastors, j
with their loyal sessional-loyal to doctrine
and polity-are at this moment grieving
over lpss of power among the people of their
charge, and by their own bitter experience

and this majority 'is a mixed multitude of
well-meaning, but graceless and worldly
professors, and those who are controlled by
them.
Both our pulpit and eur polity are thus
set at naught Jn practice. This has become
a great vscandal and a source of weakness
to the Church, and it is one cause of itsloss

now does..
5. Another reason for the decav of mor- I
,
al power among professing Christians is in
th frr tl,nt thpv loV h f
ty to Christ under circumstances of tempta
tion: i. e. under some cmergencv, or in
some business transaction, or in some sorts
of company, they are afraid to show their
flag, even when they would gladly do so
They lack the courage to appear singular,
or to show that they belong to the "peculiar
people" of God. This want of courage is
manifested in the style and expense ot liv
ing. They live beyond their income iu op
position to their own wishes, perhaps, be
cause Rome seems to demand that they
should live like Rome while they are in it.
They are surprised by temptation, and over
come, because when temptation was in the
distance they did not tore up courage to
resist, it-'wlumrnigli. " '
The writer knows-at least seven men wlio
occupied pfmainent and lucrative positions
in one city, all of them influential members,
some of them officers of our church, who
have sadly fallen, Txjcause they lacked the
courage to unfurl the flag of the cross
when opportunity demanded it should be
done. Theylost aEk their ; opportunity
and their good conscience.
.0. But finally, I join you, Messrs. Editors,
in your words, "that with rare exceptions,
the decay of morals has been preceded by a
decay in faith or in devotion," and that this
is mainly due to "the neglect of prayer, the
Bible, and public worship,"
A TALK WITH A GIANT.
Richmond Whig, Uth.
In his rambles about tm city yesterday,
a Whig reporter met a rather remarkable
character, no less than a modern giant.
A man wbod tiring Ids brief stay in the city ,
croat ed quite a sensation oq the streets as
he walked about, and caused almost every
passer-by to turn and look back at him
as he passed. Charles Tumley, the charr
acter referred to, js eight feet in height
and weighs something over "450 pounds.
Tnmley arrived in tlie city yesterday
from North Carolina on his way to New
York in scarcli of work at his trade as a
plasterer. Hew a quiet and nnobstfusive
man in his manners, converses pleasantly
anA mtstli3mley says he has three
br;ogi?3,whojiii'eat;l,as tall as him-
allot them are young. This modern gi
ant said to the writerthat he never made
use of a scaffold to plaster any ordinary
room. Tumlcy in conversation remarked
that he had received flattering offers from
prominent circus men, but he had invaria
bly declined to make his HTing in
this way. , Qur gigantic friend left last

PROSPECTUS OF
The Davidson Record, well known to the
people of Davidson county as their campaign
paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public
wuntof the business men and ot the interests oi
the county. The time has come when almost
every county finds it indispensable to have a
public journal of its own to represent its inter
ests in ihe various affairs of business, local and
general. There is no county in the State that
would not be greatly benefited by a journal
within its bounds especially devoted to the pro
motion of the local intrems of the community.
Such a paper appeal very strongly to the par
tiality and priile of the oection it serves--; and
every citizen should give it his countenance
and support it liberally, as a menns of increas
ing its usefulness and extending its influence at
home and abroad. The stronger it becomes
the more beneficial it will prove; and as the
money required for its sujiHrt is f;ir less than
the material good' it does, it is the best invest-
ment any county can make.
The Record will of necessity take part in
the politics of the country. If it is the duty of
every man to keep himself well informed in
respect to public affairs, and to take a decided,
and manly part therein, it is especially the
duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully
to investigate all questions ol public concern,
and give to his readeis tlie facts of the same.
The undersigned pledges himself to be true in
this regard. He will not knowingly deceive
his readers for the sake of party or anything
else; but by laying before them the facts, as he
may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to
aid all to act wisely for the general good. As
political matters now stand, his personal con
victions are mot decidedly in accord with the
views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva
tive party. He believes that the efforts of this
party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr
ants and corrupfionists in high places the civil
liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that
great victory as second 'only to that gained by
the fathers of 1770. The danger was immi
nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour
age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative
party proved itself equal to the occasion, and
gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of
the people. While that party shall continue
more pure and truly patriotic than any other,
he intends to be fully identified with it.
Bnt the main design of The Record is to serve
the county of Davidson in all the ways it may
be possible to advance her interests and pro
mote the welfare of her people. And to this
end the undersigned desires such intimate re
lations with her citizens as shall enable him to
perform his duty efficiently.
The paper will be published weekly at $1 a
year in advance. It will be small, but neatly
printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes
to make np in quality what may be lacking in
ize. The first number will appear about the
frst week in January, 1878.

SALE NOTICES.
Administrators, executors, commissioners, slicrilTs, constables, agents, &c, are advised to
call on us for printed sale notices. It is certainly great injustice to owners to put up
their property at public auction without first civintr amide notice of the sale. The re
quirements of the law on the subject every body knows are insufficient. Property is
often sacrificed from this cau?e when a dollar or two spent in advertising iniplit have
saved it and made it bring its. value. "We furnish sale notices promptly and cheap.
