. LIMEKILN club . “De caee of Bnxlder James Warren, of Miner Hill, Tenn., will be fust took- en up,” said Brother Gardner, as he opened the meeting and winked to Elder Toots to push another empty her ring box into the stove. “Brudder Warren claims dat he am bewitched, an* he has written to dis club to ask it to do sunthin’ to drive de evil speerits away. It has got to sich a pass dat de witches take his ole mule outer de ba'n at night an’ ride him all ober de ken- try, an' Brudder Warron feels speerit hands passin ober his face an’ pullin’ his ha’r o’ nights. Dis club will do sunthin’ fer him. If he war a local member we’d cure him in about ten ten minits. As he am an honorary, an’ fur away, we shall cross his name off de books an' send him oi&shul noli* dat he am a bounced man." “I hev repeatedly referred to dis matter of superstishun, an’ if members can't de enlightened dey kin be fired out. De day of ghosts, hobgoblins an' witches has passed away, an’ de cull’d man who can’t believe it has no bizness in dis club. Mobbe dar was a time when witches went chasin’ 'round de kentry on an ole raw-boned mule, senrin’ people half to death an’ leavin’ a trail of flah an' smoke, but things hev ehanged. De wedder ain't right fer 'em now, an’ de purleece giv ’em de collar an’ send ’em to de work-house. “Mebbe speerit hands hev bin laid on Brudder Warren, but I doubt it. I guess Tennessee whisky had a great deal to do wid it All o' you jist listen to me when I say dat be fust complaint of speerit hands in Detroit will lie follered by a scene to make somebody’s heart ache! Be keerful how unknown hands pull yer ha’r. Do member of dis club who sees a witch had better keep poworful quiet about it or he'll be turned ober to de Kickin’ Committee to bo dealt wid. De secre tary will write to Brudder Warren dat we hev done sunthin’ fur him, an’ noti fy our branches at Chattanooga an’ Knoxville dat he has bin fired.” The ehainnan of the Committee on Internal Harmony then announced his readiness to report on the caso of Trustee Pullback vs. Whalebone How- ker. The two members live in adja cent cabins, and were considered friends as well as neighbors until Trustee gave a molasses candy-pull and invited in a scoro of friends and left Mr. and Mrs. Ilowker at homo to chow tho cud of re flection instead of his candy. Howkor appealed to the club, under by-law 98, defining fraternal feeling, and the case has beon hanging fire several weeks. The chairman now reported : “Wo not only interviewed all de par ties, but we ate somo of de candy. While we would incouraige a fraternal feelin' among members, an' while we believe dat members orter do mo’ fur each odder dan fur outsiders, we mus' declar’-our belief dat one member am not obleeged to invite anoder member to the sanctity of his home. In dis case Brudder Pullback knowod dat Brudder Howker has sore eyes an' a bad cough, an' dat his wife was hard o’ hearin’ an’ given to de habit of spittin' on de stove. Deir presence could not hev added to de eclat of de occashun, an' it was fur better under do sarcum- stances dat dey be left out. We would an’ do unanimously absolve Brudder Pullback from any evil intent.” On motion of Rev. Penstock the re port was accepted. Ho said ho was glad the case had come up and boon officially acted on, as he lived in the midst of many members of the club, and had been greatly annoyed at their interpretation of friendly footings. lie would lend a brother member a flat iron sooner than an outsider, but when it came down to giving a party he should invite and leave out whom he pleasod.— Dtlroil Free Pre»». PINE CONES. Foralen aovernmenta Purchasing the Ar ticle at a Fair Price. In alluding to the subject of rain-fall, •nd the effect produced by the destruc tion of forests, one of our contempo raries says: While as «rule we turn up our royal North American noses at the suggestion of systematic forest culture, in Europe the people have learned wis dom from experience. The French and German Governments are illustrating what we might do ourselves, by buying seeds of us. Near Burlington, Vt, somo four thousand bushels of pine cones have been purchased st forty cents per bushel, for foreign shipment. They are inspected daily, and as they open are taken to the barn and threshed, the seeds cleaned and placed in bags for transportation. It occupies an average of five men daily for two months to gather the seed from four thousand bushels, each bushel yielding about a pound of seed. There is a branch of this business, nearly double in product, near Charlotte, Vt The cones are gathered about the first of September, snd treated with heated air to expedite their opening. All these are shipped to France, Germany and tho other Governments of Europe. Ap- propos of this subject, some statistics were recently published showing that Lake Champlain Is shallowing eaeh year, some of its ports having already become unavailable, owing to the de struction of the forests, the great store houses of moisture. Some day the American nation will awaken to the knowledge that it has been recklessly prodigal of its trees.— Notion Budget. — »■ A petrified loaf of bread was recently dug up at Acmetonia Station, near Pittsburg, being found at a depth of twelva feet beneath the A Dlstiugulshed Chicago Clergyman Tell, ■tepid Bird* That Know Mor.

Brother Gardner Peremptorily Fires a Member Who Believe« in Witchcraft. VERMONT V * e »s You have requested me to tell you how I make my sermons. I hardly know what to answer, as, in my judg ment, nearly all preachers prepar« substantially in the same wav. How do painters mix their colors? How do brickmakers make their bricks? How do wall builders build their walls; or shipwrights their vessels? In all these cases there are accepted principles on which these artisans proceed, and the same is true of sermon manufacturing. ' If you are anxious to find out Rubens' i secret of coloring, or Beecher’s art of i illuminating an idea, or the charm that hangs over the composition of various men, you will never be gratified; for that is something they themselves can not explain, even if they try. What the public would really like to know of the elaborations of genius can not be imparted, and what remains may bo learned in any book on homiletics, with simply tho uninteresting addènda as to whether certain mortals writo or do not write, or whether they write only notes, or in full. These dotails aro pit iably indifferent. But as you wish them in my case, who have no secret of genius to trouble me or others, I comply with your desire. Some sermons are born; others, like Topsy, grow. Just as the poet has an inspiration and writes, so at times a thought comes to the preacher, and easily, almost without effort. It »hapee itself on paper. But other discourse? are painfully elaborated. They have to be carefully planned, sketched, revised and re-revised before the desired result is reached. My custom has been to read the Bible regulurly and studi ously, and to note any text that im presses mo, appending such ideas as it may have given rise to; and in some in stances that is all the preparation given to the sermon. Tho text has taken hold of me, roused my entire spiritual and mental being, has shaped itself, and appropriate words generally are found when tho hour comes for delivery. These, however, are exceptional cases. Usually the marked passage in the Bible remains for future use; but, bj the daily study of tho book, subject? for the pulpit are kept on hand in abundance. Having text and theme, J then, as a rule, pencil a rough outline. Jotting down idoas and illustrations. After tlie plan is drawn up, if thero 1? need for the consultation of authorities, I perform that part of inv task. As I read what I have just put on paper, I am reminded of a story I heard of a celebrated and successful Indian enptain. He was askod what plan lie adopted whon fighting the red-skins. He replied: “I have a very excellent one always, and always mean to follo» it, but the red-skins disconcert it, am' I have just to let tho boys loose on them, witli the advice not to miss when they fire.” So it is with myself. I have at exalted idea of tho way in which n ser mon should be prepared, and I intend always to do my best in that line; bui circumstances are changing constantly time can not always bo found for clos> study, and olio's battle must be decided on the inspiration of tho moment. M.i rule is to move like tho old captain, and if I can only succeed In hitting some body or something I am happy, ever though critics may be sliockod, and th< old rifle recoil a little more violently than is pleasant. In conclusion, permit me to add that for effective pulpit work a rested brain is tho best of all immediate prepara tions. Had I to choose botwoen a man uscript witli a weary head on my shoul ders, and a fresh head—not a now one, of course—and no manuscript, I would select tho hood. This pre-supposes ed ucation, experience and the abiWty tr. command olio’s resources in public. Given these general qualifleations, and I contend the speakor will find quiet and repose an excellent library and desk for what is beforo him. But be ginners ought not to presume. They ought to learn from this fact not to nogloct needful rest for mind and body: but, at tho same time, they must not forego careful discipline of thought, due reflection, and conscientious com mitting of their ideas to paper.— Dr. O.

Americ, which occurs as early as 744 A. D., is probably a contracted form of tho name Amalaric, borne by a King of tho Visigoths, who died in 631. A Bishop Emrick was present at the council of Salisbury in 807, and an Americus Bnlistarius is mentioned in the Close rolls (thirteenth century). It has been conjectured that tho stem is im, from which we get tho name of Emma. Themeaning of this is not known with cortainty, though Ferguson think» it may denote •‘strife” or “noise.” Since, howover the name is probably of Gothic origin, and sine« the Ama- lungs were the royal race of the Ostro goths, it is more likely that the stein is am al, whteh was formerly thought to mean “without spot,” but is now mors plausibly connected with the old Noras ami, “labor.” "work." The sutHx ric, cognate with rex, reich, and rick, means "rich” or "powerful,” and therefore the most probable significa tion of Amerigo is "strong for labor." — Isaac Taylor, in Note» and Queries. —A wealthy lady who has several unmarried daughters was asked why she did not marry them off. She an swered: “1 have talked to the girls on the subject, and they think as I do— that it would be cheaper to hire a night watchman,” — There is a tendency in London nnrl s'ev Turk to return to Dutch colonial arch tecture.

Somo years ago Charles Landseer, the brother of Sir Edwin, painted a pict- ture called “Edgehill," which I be lieve consisted of the figure of a peas ant girl, or one or more figures, in the scene of the battle. It was on the wall of the Academy exhibition, when some one, on the artists’ day for var- n is til ng, retouching, etc., noticed a part which wanted filling in. Sir E<1 win good-naturedly said he would put in a couple of dogs on tho spot, which he did, of course in a slight manner, and the picture was much improved. The story got wind, and the picture was after ward sold at a high price on the ground of the dogs, by Sir Edwin. Some time afterward a dealer brought to Sir Elwin • sketch of dogs and asked him to authenticate it as his. Sir Edwin said he could not underlake to remember having painted them, but said they looked like his. Lately the present owner of the ‘ Edgehill" pict ure. • gentleman at Clapham. and who had paid a large price for it. chiefly for the sake of the reputed Sir Edwin's dogs in it, begged of him to come and see it and confirm the tra dition. He went, saw the picture, and at once detected what had been done; the dogs bad been cut out of the pict ure, replaced by a b ad eopv, and no doubt were the dogs (mounted on a fieah canvas) which had b««n shown to him. This is supposed to be the cleverest case of dog-su*ling r#- corded. ___________ — —------- —A fashion picture shows that th« newspaper raid on the high-hat nni- sanc« has been so effective that th* newest fashion in female head-gear is °D'7 ‘ inch" hi?h,r iorm- •rly. — -Aorrulpwn Zfcrant The best Cough Medi cine is Piso’s C ure for C onsumption .
