A Father** Advice to His Sou, |
In 187!) Edwards PierrepontJ
once United States Minister to En
gland, wrote a letter to his son(
then a student at Oxford. It
would lie hard for young men, in or
out of college, to lind more sensi
ble counsel or more inspiring
thoughts than those which he pre
sents. We print extracts below:
“1 have been through the pre
paratory schools and the universi
ty, and 1 know all their trials and
their temptations. I also know
hew prone boys are to think that
the times have changed since their
fathers were youug, and that the
true rules for the conduct of life
have ceased to he the same. My
son, as you grow older, you will
li ml from the time of Solomon to
this hour human nature has not
changed at all and that the guide
to n happy and prosperous life is
precisely tho same as it was when
the wise men wrote.
“Banish forever from your mind
that folly which young men stupid
ly furnish, that ‘the world and the
ways of the world are essentially
different now from what they were
forty years ago,’ and settle for
ever in your minds certain princi
ples which you are never to swerve
from in your course of life.
“First, that there is a great first
cause which rules the world; a
something which we can but dimly
comprehend, because it is.too vast
for our finite minds. Jt is infinite.
It is fruitless to try ‘to find our
God.’ He is‘our Father ir» Heav
en,’ that is all the simple child can
know; it is all that the most learn
ed man ever know. That this great
Creator is just and merciful, mid
i nks by equal laws, we have every
reason to believe; and that it is
one oi the Creators laws that our
lives may be influenced bv earnest
prayer lor guidance in the light
way, there to no doubt. I do not
mean to pray for specific things,
such as riches and honors, will
bring riches and honors of a mat
ter of course, but that hottest and
earnest prayer to our Father in
Heaven for guidance in the way
that is for our best good, is sure
to bring strength to the mind, and
tlius to aid us in the affairs of life.
“Jvverf day ask your Heavenly
Father to guide you in the way
which is right, and yens will not go
wrong. That the soul survives the
body, and that it is happy or mis
erable, ‘according to the deeds
done in the body,’ never allow
yourself fo doubt. If skeptics wish
to talk to you about it, don’t ar
gue: Arguments on these subjects
never did any good,' you might as
well argue that you loved your
mother,
“Second, (hat truth, Unfaltering
integrity, justice and honor are
never to lie parted from under any
circumstances. I pray you, my
son, never trouble yourself about
popularity. Do right, the best you
can, deserve respect and you will
be certain to have it. If yon roe a
fellow student who is always man
ly, honorable, brave and just, and
who devotes himself to the duties
before him every day, who resists
temptations to pleasures which in
terfere with health, and hence with
his success, you cannot help ad
miring and respecting him. Ox
ford has never graduated a n ai
who has an indolent failure at col- j
lege who has et'er became an emi
nent success afterwards, and she
never will.
“Third, that economy is a virtue
and that extravagance, is a vice,
never forget. You never see a mtfu
of forty who regretted his econo
my; von will see plenty «\ho mourn
their early extravagance. •LayUli
expenditures never wins respect.
It may win temporary flatterers
who despise the fool they flatter.
Pay every debt you owe, but
Neither n borrower nor it lendnr hr.
For hum oft loros both itsolf am! Mewl.
Let not your vanity ever tempt
you to spend money. English
young men are awake; they laugh
at the laylish Americans who are
so layisli. Item ember that four
hope, your pride, your lHfo, is to
Ini in Aiweriea—a country whose
future Ts unimagined and whose
greatness and power will surpn'ss
any empire in the world. You are
to be a part of it, ’ •
How To Attain Christian Purity..
Are you willing and desirous to
be made holy? It is possible for a
man to perceive his sins, and yet
be unwilling to give them up.
Many do this. IIow is it with you?
Are you now williug to give up all
your idols, to ‘cut oflf rights arms/
to 'pluck out right eyes/ to pnt to
sacrifice dearest and most cherish
ed indulgences? Look well to
this! How vain to expect, or pre
tend even to desire, salvation
from all sin at the same time that
yon are harboring some in the
heart! Would you he holy, you
must make up your mind to the
cruciflction of every sin; the very
last must be surrendered and given
to the cross and spear.
Holiness! Are you willing to
receive it, with all its consequen
ces, of watchfulness, and sacrifice
and self-denial, and entire devo
tion of the soul and life to God?
Not only are you willing thus to
be freed from sin, and to take the
responsibility of holiness, but are
you desirous to do so f 18 it the
supremo wish of your heart f Are
you willing, in proof ot your sin
cerity and preference, to accept it
in lieu of everything besides ?
Still further; it is not only need
ful that you become willing anil
desirous upon the subject, but
you must likewise come to the
firm purpose and resolution that
through grace you will he holy;
that you will never rest short of
this state; that all hazards you
will preserve, and never cease the
effort until you attain. If vou
find it difficult to form the pur
pose—if there is discernible a re
maining feeling that, if you should
not immediately succeed, perhaps
you may give over the struggle—
pray and agonize for the victory
here; never rest until your mind
is determined. Nothing gvoai can
be accomplished without resolu
tion. An ‘unstable’ or ‘double
mind’ cannot prosper. He firmly
resolved, therefore, that you will
contend for and claim your privi
lege—that you will attain.
Some commence seeking (loil,
or engage in the pursuit of holi
ness. without a decided purpose
to succeed. They have a will to
commence working, hut not a will
to do all that may be necessary, to
make all requeisite sacrifices, to
preservo through every opposi
tion. This may he your case; if
so, stop short aud resolve firmly,
irrevocably, that you will bo for
God wholly. You will never go
beyond your will, when you en
deavor without its concurrence it
will amount to nothing. Will,
then work when you have the will!
Your desires are set upon holiness;
now resolve that, it being your
privilege you will bare it by God's
grade, and set forward aud endeav
or after it according to your light.
It is not presumed, in this advice
that you purpose in your own
strength to make this great attain
ment; it is not supposed that your
willing secure:! it, hut only tlnlt it
leads you forward to God, wtio
will bestow it upon you when you
come to Him. It is not, will to
be holy, and he holy but will not
to cease until God shall confer the
grace of his otfn free goodness
The important invincible resolu
tion or willing must appear in one
moment.
The work of resisting every sin
—crucifying every improper de
sire, being entirely for God—will
meet with opposition, strong op
position; » feeble purpose will
booh yield; the soul will relapse
into its former state. Tlie work
will not be accomplished; not be
cause it was imposiblc; but be
cause there was not the requisite
resolution. A man is dying of a
tumour; lie wishes it removed, and
goes to a surgeon, but the knaves
intimidate him—bis resolutions
fails, be returns with the fatal tu
mour still upon him. Wo'd you
bo holy? Learn by this illustra
tion tlie value of resolution; reso
lution then will not cower when
the knife is laid to the heart to
amputate its idols !—Christian
Purity. __

THE FLY1XG SHIP,
lly Mr. H. Honeycutt of ■•Hcfn.
—L. It. Democrat.
During the past fifty years vari
ous efforts to navigate the air lias
been made, but no machine here
tofore invented has worked Batis-'
factory. It was learned long ago
that gas could be confined in a
silk bag in sufficient quantities to
lift a heavy weight too high to be
seen by the naked eye, and many
persons have made extensive voy
ages through the air in balloons,
bnt in all these efforts the balloon
or other machine drifted with the
current of the wind, and was per- j
fectly uncontrollable.
Mr. II. Honeycutt is thirty-eight
years of age, and has been in Ar
kansas some nine years. Ho is a
practical machinist, and says that
lie has studied “how to make an
air ship’’ from childhood. To-day
at ‘J o’clock p. m. he exhibited a
moddle of his ship at the Central
hotel, corner Fourth and Louisiana
streets. A large number of capi
talists and machinists were pres
ent, all of whom were convinced
beyond a cavil that Mr. Honeycutt
has discovered the true and prac
tical way of a*rial navigation. The
force of gravitation is overcome
with gas. The ship hns a large
riuliler, which assists iu the navi
gation. The propelling power con
sists of adjustable wings, which
can be made to fly up, down or in
any other direction. One wing
will take a forward motion, the
other backward, and the ship will
sail in a circle; both wings will fly
upward and the slop will rise to
any altitude, or they will fly down
' ward anti the vehicle will descend
to the surface or as near it as de
sirable. There is no doubt that
before many years it will be -as
common an occurrence to see air
ships making regular trips from
city to city as it now is to see
trains speeding oyer the railroads.
There will be less danger or cause
of accidents with the ships than
there now is with the steam cursor
steamboats.

' A cull boy in a certain school
was frequently reproached by his
teacher, and made little progress
One day he made a first attempt to
write. Tho scrawl was so wretch
ed it excited the laughter of the
boys who sat near him. A gentle
man visiting the school and wit
nessing his distress said to him:
‘ Never mind, ray lad, do not 'lie
discouraged, and you will he a writ
er some day, I recollect when I
first began being quite as awk
ward as you; hut I persevered,
and now look! See what I can
do.”
lie took his pen and wrotu his
name in a large, Jcgiblo hand.
Years afterwards when the dull
hoy had become one of the most
celebrated men of his day, lie met
again the man who had spoken to
him those lew words of encourage
ment. He said to him:
i “It is my firm conviction that I

God’s blessings, to those few words
you spoke to me that day when I
sat so discouraged/ trying to
write.”
Alcohol, Muscle uud Bruin
We put a drop of alcohol into a
man’s eye. It poisons it. Wer try
it Upon the lining of a living stom
ach. Again it poisons it. We study
after death the stomachs of living
men, and find alcohol produces in
regular etajos redness, intense
•congestion, morbid secretions,
deeper hurt, utter ruin. Wo study
its influence upon the health anti
strength of sailors and soldiers,
and finds it helps to freeze them in
the Arctic regions and eShaiVst
them1 in the tropic's. We watch
two regiments on a long march in
India, one with grog and the other
without, are driven to the conclu
sion that even moderate quantities
of alcohol weaken the muscles and
break the endurance. We visit
tiro training grounds of oarsmen,
pedestrians and prize fighters, and
we learn everywhere the same les
sons—alcohol is a poison to the
UiU.clc uud brain.—L>io Lewi#.

his hair is of a color that would he ^
difficult to discribe—something re

Sheep Upon the Farm.
There is a wise old saying that
the ‘'sheep’s toot is golden.”
Probably sheep edine nearer to
working their own passage than
any other animal upon the farm.
Where the farm is enclosed ttith a
good rail fence and destructive
dogs are not too plenty, sheep
nmy be kept to a profit, bnt in
those sections where stone walls
are used as dividing lines between
fields and where dogs are rapidly
multiplying and destructive in
their tendencies, sheep raising is
not profitable. The sheep is an
animal that likes good grass and
rowen hay, but if It cannot obtain
these it will accommodate itself to
almost any kind ofliving, and will
: consume and work into manure
weeds, briars, bushes and other
trash that other animals tfW not
even look at. They may well be
denominated farm scavengers as
regards, weeds, etc. They equal
ize the fertility upon the farm by
seeking their food where it growB
during the day and at night they
almost invariably seek the poorer
knolls unon which to lie down. It
is also the nature of the sheep Co
make frequent evacuations of botli
the urine and solid manure, and
for that reason there is no animal
that so evenly distrilmtes fertility
over the farm as sheep. And
even when (key are upcm knolls
and hillsides, their constant track
ing about with their sharp feet
tramps the manure into tlfff soil
where it Cannot wash away, and
in that way such localities as are
naturally barren are brouglrt into
and kept in a fffir state of fertil
ity.—Germantown Telegraph.

How to Make Wood Coffee.
“It is one of the simplest things
in the world,” says Mrs. Corson,
“to make a good cup of coffee, and
this can easily ho accomplished by
applying a little common souse. If
you put boiling water ou coflee,
and do not let it boil,” she continu
ed, “you have all the good quali
ties preserved. One reason dys
petics cannot drink coffeo is be
cause it is lioiled. The style of cof
fee pot is just a matter of fancy. I
have made as good coffee from an
old tomato can as I ever sipped
from the finest French coffee urn.
Wo should take lessons in this mat
ter from the Turks and Arabians,
who grind their coffeo to a line
powder.
“When the coffee is ground as]
fine as possible, put it in a bag of
unbleached muslin, which should
be tied tightly enough to prevent
the escape of the grounds. If yon
use a cup of ungrouud coffeo yon
can make over a qnart of strong,
black coffee. In making coffee,
many people sacrifice flavor for
strength, Ritttifness comes from
boiling. When boiling water is
placed on the bag of ground coffee,
it should stand at least three min
utes minutes before serving. Re
member, the longer it stands (he
stronger it becomes. l>e earefuf
not to allow the watered coffee to
boil.
“A favorite mixture cf coffee,”
gays MIsb Corson, in answer to a
lady iu ttie audience, “is Mocha
and .Java, in the proportion ot two
parts of the latter, which is less ex
pensive, to otic of the former.y’
The Atlanta Constitution notes a
rcMnrkable coincidence of events
in the lives of Jefferson Davis and
Abraham Lincoln until each ap
proached the climacteric of his
public career. They were both
born in Kentucky, Davis in 1808
and Lincoln in 1800. They both
were removed from their native
state in childhood, Davis being
carried to the southwest and
Lincoln farther to the northwest,
(hen so called. Doth of them be
gan their political career at the
same period, in ISM, Davis being
then a presidential elector for
Polk, and'Lincolu an elector for
Henry Cl.vf. Doth served In the
Indian wars of the west, and both
were elected to congress about iho
same time, 1845 and 1840. And,
lastly in the parallel, in the same
year, aud almost on the same day,
they were called upon to proside
over their respective governments,
Davis us president of the confeder
ate states and Lincoln of the Unit
ed States.
Dili Arp: I see that John Sher
man is after us again and baft rais
ed the bloody shirt on the highest
kind of a pole. He seems wonder
ful mad nil of a sudden because
the rebels have got a few offices.
John oughtn’t to be selfish. His
brother Dill came down here aud
stole everything be eould carry off
and what he couldn't carry off ho
destroyed, und it does look like
our people ought to have some
shewing at this late day. John
and Bill have had their pad's fu the
public crib a long time, and the
imrth got migh rich Off the old
war, and we are still helping to
pay the bonds aud all the pensious,
and I don’t sen what makes John
take on so. I’m afraid he is a lit4
tie peculiar. We have been be
having right nice for twenty years,
and he might to make some allow
ance.
