WlS-BUfKHER, TAYLOR i ' PROPHYLACTIC s . : I mm i BUM adlu Is,ns gjit The following are a few isms -which i a religions paper publishes for tlie ( benefit of readers not versed in the j conflicting beliefs of the day : Atheism A disbeliever in the ex istence of God. J. Deism A belief in the existence of God, bu,t a denial of revealed reli gion. Deism and rationalism are twins. . f Polytlieism A Lelief in the-universe of God. Spinoza was a panthe ist ami so was Hegel, a recent Ger man philosopher. Unitariauism A belief in the uni ty of God, as opposed to the orthodox belief of a trinity in unity. Materialism A belief that there is nothing but matter in the universe. What we call mind and soul are to materialists only properties of matter. Of course, materialists deny immortal ity to man. Death is annihilation of existence. Spiritualism The opposite of ma terialism ; originally was a belief that jail matter is really spirit, and that , therefore the universe is only God's 'concentrated thought. Latterly it means those who believe in the inter course with the spirit workU Fatalism A belief that all events necessarily must happen that is, are ordained and cannot be altered. Mohammedanism The doctrine of the Mussulmans, who believe in the unity ofV God, and that Mohammed was his profit. They are fatalists. Calvinism The leading doctrines are original sin, particular election and reprobation, particular redemp tion, etiectua grace in regeneration and perseverance of the saints. Armenianism Is very nearly the opposite of Calinism. Its beliefs are : First, Conditional election and reprobation. Second, universal re demption limited in Us benefits only by man's act in his failing to believe and obey. Third, regeneration is ab solutely essential and instantly follows justifying faith. It is the Word of the Holy Spirit guen of God. There is no irresistible grace, and aposlacism is possible. Both Calvinism and Ar menianism believe in total depravity and future eternal punishment. Universal ism A belief that all men will Je finally saved. Buddhism Nominally believed by one-third of the human race (tenches that there have been so far four suc cessive incarnations of the Deity, fol lowed by stages of unconsciousness. The highest god is Nirvana, or the state of repose. The last incarnation was called Gaud ma, 500 years before Christ, and in after ages another will come to lift man up. Meanwhile its adherents are practically idolaters. A Man who Thinks He Saw Other World. the The Rev. Mr. Dalton of High Point preached here last Sunday in the Pres byterian church from the text, "Sir, 1 would see Jesus." During the ser mon he mentioned the case of a gen tleman who was extensively known throughout the State and doubtless well known to many of the present congregation, for he was a good man. The man was thought dead by all around his bed ; he was pulseless and could not wink an eye or move a muscle, and Ins preath bad ceased, when after a few niinutts, -to the . amazement of all, he gave signs of life and actually recovered his health. Meeting this man some four weeks since, Mr. Dalton asked him if he was conscious of what was going on while in that condition, lie replied yes, he was conscious of all that was going on in the room, "but" 6ald he, "my thoughts were not in iny room for my eyes were feasting on the most rapturous sight ever beheld upon this earth.", "W hat did you see?'- asked Mr. Dal ton. "I saw the Lord Jesus Christ," said the gentleman, and he declar ed that like Paul's visions of the third heaven the half had not been told and that words could not begiu to picture the grandeur of the world he seetced floating in; he said it imparted a happiness to his heart unutterable, and that he was perfectly miserable when he found himself breathing again and back into this life. A Child's Dying Dream. "I was to see a little girl, nine years old, at High Point a 'few weeks ago," said Mr. Dalton, whose mother before she died about a year ago asked me to overlook her. daughter. I Said to the little girl : My child are you afrakl to die?" j "Oh no sir," she replied, "lam not afraid to die : I went to heaven last night" (I reckoned she dreamed it, said Mr. Dalton) "oh, no sir, I'm not afraid to die. I saw the angels come down the steps, and Jesus came down and held out his hands to me and carried me up there and I saw mother; no sir, I want to go ami live with inoi uvri . I It is a mystery the whereabouts of . i - - ! ,e sl,r,t w,ien to a'' appearances the frame is dead and yet not dead. By the way, we saw yesterday by the tel- egraph the marriage of a beautiful young lady in Baltimore (we forgot the name), the belle of the city, to a Mr. Vivian Neale, and .yet a few years ago she was shrouded for dead and in her coffin and the hearse at the door, when she gave signs of life and to day is a happy bride. Life, life. We are wonderfully made, and yetJhalf a mile or fifty miles distaut, by the greater wonder is that we do not worship more the mighty God that has 80 made us. Reulsville Timet. Catiiiff Before Sleeping. Man is the only animal that can be taught to sleep quietly on an empty stomach. The brute creation resent all efforts to coax them to such a vio lation of the laws of nature. The lion roars in the forest until he has found his prey, and when he has devoured it he sleeps until he needs another meal The horse will paw all night in the stable and the pig will equeel in the pep, refusing all rest or sleep until they are fed. The animals which chew their cud have their own provi sions for a late meal just before drop ping off to their nightly slumbers. Man can train himself to the habit of sleeping without a preceding meal, but only after years of long-practice. As he come comes into the world na ture is too strong for him, and he must be fed before he will sleep. A child's stomach is small, and when perfectly filled, if no sickness disturbs it, sleep follows naturally and inevit ably. As digestion goes on, the stom ach begins to empty. A single fold in it will make the little sleeper rest less. Two will waken it, and if it is hushed again to repose the nap is short, and three folds put an end to the slum ber. Paragoric or other narcotic may close its eyes again, but without either foot I or some stupefying drug it will not sleep, no matter how healthy it may be. Not even an aniel who learned the art of minstrelsy in a ce lestial choir can sing a baby to sleep upon an empty stomach. We use the oft-quoted illustration, "sleeping as sweet I v as an infant," be cause this slumber of a child follows immediately after its st on. ach is com pletely filled with wholesome food. The sleep which comes to adults long hours after partaking of food, and 1 S S B when the stomach is nearly or quite empty, is not alter the type of infant ilorepose. There is all the difference in the world between the sleep of re freshment and i lie sleep of exhaustion. To sleep Well, blood that swell -the veins in the head during our busy hours must flow back, leaving a great ly diminished volume behind the brow that lately throbbed with siich vehe meuce. To digest well, this blood is needed at the stomach, and nearer the ton n tains of life. It is a fact establish ed beyond a posibility of contradiction that sleep aids this digestion, and that the jrocess of digestion is conducive to refreshing sleep. It needs do argu ment to convince us of its mutual re lation. The drowsiness which a I way follows the well ordered meal is itself a testimony of nature to this inter-de- pendeuce. AT. Y.

The Richmond & Danville Rail road, which is now one of the best equipped roads south of Baltimore, is contemplating further improvements lor the safely and comfort of travelers and when they have secured all the proposed improvements, it will be t lie model railroad ot the country The track isnow laid with steel rails all the way to Richmond, and paten surety signal lamps guard every ftsfl WtVvl.l 1 switch board along the entire line making travel and t rathe more safe than it was several years ago. As an evidence of the usefulness and re liability of these safety signal switches it is stated that since they were put up not a single accident by open or misplaced switches has occurred any where along the line, when formerly such accidents were of frequent oc currence For the comfort of travel ers this summer and for all seasons to come, the trains on this road are to be equipped with a late invention for arresting tlie smoke and dust. It is claimed that the invention is a positive success. The smoke and dust are caught by some novel ar rangement ot pipes aud carried along under the cars, escaping from under the platform of the rear car. When this invention is put in practical use on the Richmond & Danville, the sight oi' the old smoky, dusty, red e red set of travelers, will be sadly missed by the hotel porters and others whose habit it is to meet them at the trains. Though collisions are le s frequent on the Richmond & Danville titan on most any other roads entering here, yet the authorities are moving to make the road doubly safe from collisions and have two inventions under con- sideration. One is the telegraph pole signal, the invention of an .Atlanta man, and the other is a railroad clock invented by a Penusyl vanian. In the case of the former, the engin eer of any moving train can tell at exactly what spot a train coming ahead to meet mm might be, whether merely glancing at the poles. The signal time clock is invented to indi cate the intervening time between trains. It is to be mounted similar, to the danger signals, aud the engin eer can readily tell by glancing at the dial how much time has elapsed since the preceding train passing that point. The clock is made to run regular aud show the hour, just like an ordinary line piece, but an ingenius device connecting the rail and clock-work hrows the minute hand back to 12 when a train passes by the signal. Then the minute hand moves on around until the next train comes along, when it drops back to 12 again. Should any train not be followed by another for an hour or longer period then the minute hand will pause at fifty-five minutes -and remain there until a passing train throws it back to 12. when it starts -on as before. The purpose of having the hands stop at fifty five minutes is to show hat at least that much time time has elapsed since a train h .s gone by which is sufficient to indicate a clear rack. Jaunuil- Observer. Jlay i Kiss that Baby ?' To a soldier, far away from home here is no more touching sight than hat of a baby in its mother's arms. While on their Way to Gettysburg, 1 our trooiis were marching by night through a village, over whose gate ways hung lighted lanterns, while youug girls slied tears, as they watch ed the brothers of other women march on to possible death. A scene of the march is thus described by the author of "Bullet and Shell." Stopping for a moment at the gate of a dwelling, I noticed a young moth- er leaning over it with a chubby child in her arms. Above the wo man's head swung two stable lan terns, their light tailing upon her face, lhe child was crowing with delight at the strange pageant, as it watched the armed host pass on. "I beg your pardon ma am, said Jim Manners, one of mv men, as he dropped the butt of his musket toethe ground, and peered wistlully into the laces ot the mother aud her child. "1 beg pardon, but may I kiss that baby of yours? Lye got one just like him at home, at least he was when I last saw him, two years ago." The mother, a sympathetic tear rolling down her blooming cheek, silently held out the child. Jim pressed his unshaven face to its inno cent, smiling one tor a moment, and tuen walked on, saying : "God bless you, ma'am, for that !" . . 'Wi a a r Poor Jim Manners! lie never saw his boy again in life. A bullet laid him low the next day. as we mf made our first charge. YovlKs Com panion. The Case of the Darkey Who Swal lowed the Nail, Correspondence of the Landmark. The colored boy who drew the horse shoe nail by suction into his lungs has been relieved of it. Sun day evening, the 1st day of April, John Stevenson was running, with a horse shoe nail in his mouth, and while panting rapidly drew it into his windpipe and on into his lungs. He at once began coughing, and every 1'jw minutes would cough a dry hack ing cough. On Monday morning I got some pulleys and tied some lines around his ankles' aud drew him up. Would hold him there and cause him to cough, but it seemed to do no god. Every time he would cough it would seem to move upastdjag him. I did the same thing fo or three times a day until Weduu'ikiy morning he took, while I had him swinging, a violeut fit of coughing. He caught his throat. I had no one to help me, so I had to let him down from bis peculiar position. I went to him and asked him where it was. He sajrs "I have swallowed it again." He bled from the lungs for a few minutes right fast. Just then he quit cough ing and I could not produce much j coughing after that, and he did not feel the nail m his lung any more. I , kept up my treatment every day until Sunday the boy told me he could feel the nail jagging him about his intestines. .sti thert gave him a dose of purgatiye medicine and on Monday morning the nail passed out through his bowels. Then the case was plain to me. When he coughed it up he was excitedJjadly and just as it passed out of the larynx .it went right into the pharynx and thus into his stomach. His lung is not at all sore now, and he is going on his way rejoicing. T. G. Ehwin. " Elm wood, N.

' Greensboro Patriot. One of the meet interesting and instructive works ever written is Dr. GiekwlB f'Hours With the Bible." I is a work of extraordinary learning. mf CT The number of works consulted in its preparation is astounding. Thus far but four volumes have been published. Heading the second volume recently we were impressed with the tacts brought out relative to the effects of the forests upon the fertility of the Canaan of the Scriptures. The whole land at the time of the conquest by the Jews was rich aud fruitful. The Western portion was as fertile as the Eastern, and the country was attrac tive aud desirable, a land of corn and wine. But the Jews were unwise enough in the hill country to cut down the trees and what followed ? Just what has occurred in all lands where the earth was denuded and a reckless destruction of the forests had taken place. The whole land became sterile. The washings became so great that the soil was carried away and the land of beauty and fertility was converted into a land of barren ness. This is the condition in the West. In Eastern Canaan the for ests remained and to this day the soil is fertile. A New Commandment. In the seventeenth centnry the minis ter of a certain parish in Scotland was the famous Samuel Rutherford, the reli gions oracle of the Covenanters and their adherents. It is among tlie traditions that ou a Saturday evening, at one of the family gatherings, when Rutherford was 1 catechising his children and servants, a stranger knocked at the door and begged shelter for the night. The minister kind ly received him, and asked him to take his place with the family aud assist at their religious exercises. It so happened that the quest ion in the ca tech ism which came to the stranger was that which asks : "How many command ments are there t" He answered, ''Elev en." "Eleven !" exclaimed Rutherford. 1 am surprised that a mau of your age aud appearance should not know better; what do you meant" And he answered: 4 "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love oue another.' " Rutherford was much impressed by the answer, and they retir ed to rest. The next morning, as he threaded his way to church through the thicket, he heard among the trees the voice of the stranger at his devotions. The elevation of the sentiments convinc ed him that it was no common man, and, on accosting him, tlie traveler confessed that he was no other than the great di vine. Archbishop Usher, the Primate of the Church of Ireland, who well fulfilled that new commandment which he bore to others. He it was who had come in dis- ruise to see Rutherford in the privacy of his owu home. Side by side they pursu ed their way to the little church and from the rustic pulpit the Aicfc bishop preach ed to the people from the words which bad so startled his host the evening be fore: "A new commandment I give ua- 4o you that ye love one auother."

Like the bats, these animals sleep iu the day-time head downward ; but as eveuing comes ou they sally forth, often doing great harm to the fruit ou the neighboring plantations. In some parts of Java they are so numerous that it is found necessa ry to protect the fruit trees with huge nets. The extent of their flights through the air is sometimes astouUhiug. They sometimes drop to the ground aud hop aloug with a shuffling kiud of leap, but if they are alarmed, they spring to the near est tree and in a moment reach its top by a series of bouuds. Out upon the branches they dart, and with a rush they are off into space. Sailiug through the air like some great bird, down they go obliquely swift as an arrow, a hundred and fifty feet or more, rising again iu a gracefu cni'vp and al itrlitini; safely on a distant tree. In these great leaps they carry tiiir vimiirr which cluiff to tlieiu, or j " oj sometimes follow them in their headlong flights, uttering hoarse and piercing cries The colugos live almost exclusively en fruit, preferriug plantains and the young and tender leaves of the cocoapalni, though some writers aver that they have seen them dart into the air and actually catch birds.

Robert Collyer delivered an ad dress to the students of an Eastern col lege, in the course of which he remarked that he had worked on a farm, carried a hod. slioU Horses, broken stone ou a turnpike, had reaped and cradled grain dug a well, cut wood,, aud had preached sermons that no one wanted to hear. His wonderful success had been achieved bv pure grit aud honest industry. Yon must dig down to "hard pan," he said, to lay a' foundation to fame and fortune. The reverend gentleman seemed to have drawn the most of his inspiration from Poor Richard's almanac. His speculated aphorisms may be grouped as follows : Any kind of an honest job is better than no job at all. Take a dollar a day for your work if you can get no more. A man's best friends are his ten fin gers. When evil days come, as evil days will, no man deserves the title of gentleman 1 he does not take honest work to do re gardless of social influence. When country ho3-s come to the city, if they can hold on to their sweet old ways, they can defy the world. ; Keep your grip ou tlie hard pan o: nriuciplo and irood conduct, ana you will be men of good name and good for tune. When a boy fills a house with bugs he is all right, provided he don't run after humbugs. He has the making in him of a great naturalist. A good farmer, is bettor than a poor doctor, and a gonl horseshoer is better than a Bishop who preaches sermons that nobody wants to hear. A good day's work of what yon can best do is the hard pan to which all must come. Society says one thing and nature says another. Work is good medicine. Only those who make clean money aud do clean things win success. The honest men who dies poor is rich if he only hold his own.
