Several pages are g iven to Secuhir N e w s ami Market Report.sand articlerf valuable to the Farmer and Housewife. W e therefore especially request each mini.ster wlio receives UiIk ProBpectu-s to see how lanny brethren and

others he can Influence to tttke the i«iper for the nex t six month.s at least, if not for one year, and we offer the fol-lowing inducements: For a club of flvo annual, or ten .six month's sub8crit)er8, w o will send one copy one year free. Or for ten anniialsulwcribers (at $'2.70) or twenty s ix month's sutecribors (at $1.35), w e will send an Im-proved Body and Lung Brace, which every minister should have to restore a lost vo ice or preHorvc a good one, jmd to preserve for years his jihysiatl energies. . . ^

Brethren, will you uot make an effort the next thirty or sixty days, and nee what you can do? You will find the paper otherwise more than ever interdjting this year. It will benefit you ; it will benefityour people. It will cost j;ou buta little effort to present the matter to each of your churches, and to members of yourcongregationB. If vou do not wish to use the Brace youraclf, your wif« can use it, or you ciin readily sell it iorten dollars, but you do need it during pr at least, and it will save you years'of atrength. Make a faithful effort and read the first part of this coi^regation.

"For by grace are ye saved through fnitli, and that not of youruelvi's, it is the gift of(ioii. not of worlc.s, lest any man .should Itoast." - i;i.li. II. 8, 9.

^^Ihe blood qf Chriit deameth from all mn."— 1 John i. 7.

To say that something shbulc^ bo added to his

blood, is to say that hU blood alone waa not all-

suflBclent: — " A n d that repentance and remission of sins

should be preached In his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."—Luke xxlv. 47

" T o him gave all the prophets witness, that tlirough his name whosoever belleveth in him shall receive remission of sins Can any man forbid water, that these should not be bap-tlaed, which have received the Holy Ghost as well Ufl we."—Acts X. 43,47.

Baptinn does not act with faith to unite it* to C M t L This is the work of faith alone.

" For ye are all the children of God by faith in Chriat JeBas,"-Gal. ill. 28.

Baptism does not s-ml ua in Christ, or seal our

union to him. " In whom [Clirist] also after that yo believed

Illu.stration: In the KpLscojia! ollice, every one

recelvetl into that orgaui/.ation i.s re(|uired to con-foas and aflirm, that, in baptism, although it was

administered to him when an unconscious infant,

and asleep in his nurse's arms, without knowiwige

or volition, he was made an " heir of Cod, a mem-

ber of Christ, and an inheritor of tho kingdom of

heaven."

Now, with the Word of Cod to guide us,

we say every one of all baptized into that

communion, implicitly believing that statement

and depending upon it for salvati(jn, Ls inevitably

lost; for no Infant or adult, without volition, ever

was made an lielr of Qod, a memiier of (!hri.st, or

an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. And

we ask the thoughtful Christian to oxamino osich

of the Protestant confessions, and decide if their

teachings were Implicitly believed by those baj)-

tlzed in InfiEincy, if they would not be fonsnl to

conclude that their salvation was secural to tliem

when their parents had baptism admlnlstoreil to

them in unconucious inlancy as the sacrament of

salvation or seal of the covenant of gruceV

THE WVENANT OF CIIM-'U.McrsiON THK " IIOI'K

ISRAKI,." Afl an act of sovereign elective graw, as we have

seen, God selectwl Abram, a citizen of I'r of the Chaldees, and an idolater, as the holder of the promises,—ion rchouta fas ep<ig(ielim, — i\\\{\ that through his family the gospel should be made known to all natloiis. Upon this chosen Deiuwit-ary of his will, God saw lit to confer many dis-tingaished and especial blessings; and for thi.s special grace shown to Abram, who has a right to find fault?

The Lord Jehovah—the Word —first «|,oke to Abram when flfty-elght years of age, when he dwelt with his fathers iMiyond the Hoo{ls,—the river Euphrates,—and commanded him to l eave eountry and kindred and journey toward a land which should be shown him. Since this state-ment Is questioned by Conant, I refer the reader t« the si>eeeh of Stephen before the council: —

"And he saids 'Men, brethren and fathers, hearken; the God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he wasi in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, and said unto him: ".Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kin-dred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee." Then came he out of the land of the Chal-deans, and dwelt In Sharran; and from thence,-when his Mher was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.'"—Acts vii. 2, 3,4.

Abraliam obeyed God, and, with his father Terah, and Lot, his nephew, he came as liur as Haran, and dwelt there for a season. Abram dwdt In Haran until he was seventy-five yrars of age, when the Lord again spoke to him to go for-ward to fte land, and, at this time, made or re-newed this promise, which Paul called preaching the gospel: —

" 'And I will make of theo a grent nation, and I

will blwis thee, and make thy name great; and thou Shalt be >» bk^sslng: and 1 will blewi them lii.-it bless thee and curst- him that ciii^eih thee-iuid 111 llie<' shall all families of tlie <-n-tli Uv l>I<>ssed.' So .Abram deparlivl, .us the 1 -iii'il- had spoken unlu (liin ; and Lot went with him: and -Vbram \v;ls .so\-eni,v and iive years J.; „!„.„ |„. dejiarted out of Haran."- < ien xii. -2, .!, i.

The E.vecutive Hoard at .I.ackson was tliereforc rc<|U(«(iHl to put an etllcient agent into the licid at once to secure this iicfore the next meeting of the As-six-iation. It is reiiorted that one third of this lunount has already been secured, and only about•$20,(»nf) is to be.seciired by the canvass of six good counties, and all of North Mi'wis.sippi and .\rkansa.s, which .are ready to help u.s.

Tho jubilee „ will be held with the Big Creek church, twenty-five miles Dortheast of the city, If It Is a t t a i n e d that the vicinity can accommodate tho multitodes, and if not, the BrowsisvlUe church will be relied upon to take care of it. This was tho grand work l)lanned by the Association.

Jarman and Irby of Uio I niversity were present; and, from t l i o m , wo learned (luit there w e r e f o u r t e e n young ministers at the rniversily last year, and that between |7(J0 and $-s(i(i were exiiendwl In their support by tho Ministerial Board ; and that there was still a debt upon the Boanl of JilMi, which, less collection, say $.so, leaves m i still due, for which two or throe l.retlireii iiavc given (heir paper to the hank: and this must be paitl by Htiptember 1st, or these good iircthrcn will bo oppresscil. They involved them-selvi's, relying upon the interest of their brethreu in ministVrial wlucadon. Will not every one who reads (lu-se lines, wlio has not, forward al least .•?) fur this noble ohjwt. Other young minis-ters of promise arc anxious to go to the Uunl-v(>i-sity to prepare for the Master's servlw). 8hall they not be invited to (inter? If wo would havo our children willing to attend upon tho ministry of our own ministers, those inlnlstera must be ((lucatcd, or our children will go elsewhere. Think of it! in the bounds of tho Big Ilatchle Associ-ation there is no( one young m i n i s t e r preparing at .lacksiHi, oranywlierc else! We should pray to the Lord of the whitening harvest to send forth more labon<rs; and then we should at least bo willing to helj) them grind their scythes and sharpen their sickles for the work.

As for the i>rcachlng on tho Bid)bath, wo clip from the nTort of the reporter of the Memphis

the2iUI.• — ^Sunday was i/ie day of the meeting. There

were fullv twenty-five hundred neoplo pr^nt . The three churches were crowded: audiences made up of the best peojile In West Tennessee and iVf :.. .! .,.!....1 l.autnmvimnfrnm North Mississijipi, many people having come from

bia, Horn Lake, Holly Springs, Byhallfl, Mis.s., ami other contiguous places. Mr. Graves MISS., aim oiiiei i-wiiiniifiun . ireaciic<l at (he Baptist church a sermon long to le remembered by (hose who were so fortunate as

to hear it. His text was .lesus Only: 'There is lu) other name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved.^ His sermon was singularly free from doctrinal points; and ho com-I)le(ely rodeemed himself from any unkind preju-<llcc Ids zeal heretofore for his chosen denonii-mition liad awakened in the minds of any of his hearers, l-'or two hours, ho held his audience spelI-l)ound, HO earnestly and eloquently and touchingly did he plead the cause of his bl<»8ed Master. At the Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Montgomery of East Tennessee preached to a crowded house. His theme was Christ and Him

nmj* ./M iwu v.iiiiijiuviiiw — rum of Memphis preached one of the aweetest. tenderest and most soul-satlsfying sermons that it was ever my good fortune to hear. Uis text was a part of the first verse of the first chapter of Kzekiel: 'The heavens were opened, and I saw visions of (Jod.' And tho vision which he i-o beautifully and so lovingly portrayed lo his audi-ence was tho crucified and risen Savior, atandlni: by the Father's throne pleading for hiB people. J cannot say more, and only wish that these [ood men iiuiy'lK! spared to us many years."

The concluding services were held in the Bapt^t church at eleven o'clock at night, conHl8ting'"of t he address by the moderator, the song and partr ing hand, and-prayer by the oldest minister. Eld. h. H, Milllkin of IjaGrange offered the prayer this M^ ion. All left feeling that this had been one of the most pleasant, harmonious, and. In all respects, delightful and profitable meetingH of the body ever held.-

-ss;

Withhold not gowl from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not to thy neighbor, "Go, and come again, and to-morrow 1 will give;" when thoti, hast it by thee.—i'rov. ill, 27, 28.

when the Un ion depot bu i l d i ng was

a panic seized (he citizens, who had, u p

The destruc-tion or these bniklings seemed to^aitisfy the rioters, as they began to disperse. While they were buminc most of those who deserted the crowd loadetl them-selves down with plunder and wended their way homeward. ITirougb-out the entire city various pngs of rioters were searching for General Pearsou and the general officers of the Pennsyl-vania railroad. Tbo latter had incide themselves particularly obnoxious be-cause they had brought the Philadel-ihia troops here, while General Pearson 8charged with having given tlie order to fire last evening, which re8ultc<l in the death and wounding oi many citizens. Whether he is responsible or not,be would certainly have l)een killed had he not managed to get out of the way. It is said that be and the railroad officers loft the city this morning. At all event* his whereabouts is unknown.

A t the ad journed meet ing o f tho citi-

Hetice, all kinds of uncleanliness should lie avoided, and the utmost neatness should lie observed in every step of their pro<luction and mar-keting, from the very feeding, handling and milking of the cows, as well as treat-m e n t and handling of the milk, with the churning, working and putting u p of the butter. A H of the implements used, the water and the salt used, and the rooms occuoied in keeping the milk and m a k -ing the butU'r, should be kept perfectly clean and sweet, in order to produce the best quality to secure high a n d fancy prices. N o article that the farmer pro-duces for the market has such a wide range or dilTerence in price as butter, not even cheese or choice fruit. W e see by qtiotations in all the great butter markets that the prices of eating butter range nil the w a y from one dollar to ten cents per pound, while greasy, cooking butter is «ven lower than that; even the packages in which it is put up. whether firkins, pails, tubs, or rolls, affect ihe prices for which it sells. Grains a n d rneatu have but a small range c o m p a r e d to butter; the difference in t h e p r i c M o f butter is m u c h greater than the difTerence in tUo cost; h c n w , it is m u c h more profitable •

A reccnt writer says: '" After long observation I h a v e cjnia to the con-sion that a great majority of the farmers that aro poor m i g h t have m a d e m o n e v If y o u inquire into their buBiue?s hablta you will always find that they always sold the best cud kept the poorest. F o r uwiunce, 'A they have too m a n y sheep on hand, they pick out the best lo b<i sold. If y o u ask t h e m w h y they do so, t!-:ey will say,' B.'cause thev bring twice as m u c h as the others, and 1 a m hard u p just n o w for m o t o y . I k n o w that it is not 11 good plan, ami I do not intend ft* follow it always.' 1 think the habit of selling the host is a very poor plan for any m a n , I don't care w h a t his circum-stances m a y ho. I have a m a n in m y m i n d n o w w h o always sells his poortist sheep for more than twice as m u c h as the average farmer gets for his best. I have seen farmers in the fall pick out their be.st pigs to fatten, because they would m a k e a few m o r e pound.s of pork than the otliiTH. This I eall a very po ir economy.

N iw the true way to fatten pigs, at any -easoii of tho year, is lo give a f»or-lion ol iviarse food such as turnips, beets, I'lirrots, fiotaloes, cooked clover, hay, or f.'r(i.ss, the last lieing the natural food of the pig, and in s u m m e r always at hand. \\'liili. in eold weather it is necessarjf to resort to roots, which have required manual lahor to grow, in s u m m e r the pig can get. its o w n grass, and only requires a moilerate allowance of ^rain to keep it growing lapidly and have it ready for the knife w h e n Rrass ceases to grow. If w e take all the liogs fattened in the United .States iu a year, and change the time of fattening from cold to w a r m weather, one-half of the crain n o w fed will m a k e all the pork. This would be a saving of food,at leiuit to the a m o u n t of $76,000,000 per year.— S n u l h c r n Fnrmrr.

5Q8 T H E B A - P T I S T TO MINISTERS.

J tttfcp tbi-H method of caliing your at etition to tho celebrateil Bmly and Lung

BraciJ, which I have tiold for ihe last eighteen years, that I may make it a bon«flt to my paper by making it a far greater benetit to you

1 will briefly give you my reiwoiiB for recommemiing this iuvalunble article to you. More ihiitj eighteen year* ago, 1 wa.» thoroughly broken doivu in voice from esotiwive preaching; 1 could ujwak but !i l i t t le while witiiout get t ing hoarse ; my throat was generally wre, and easily i r r iUted, and its tone became heavy and husky ; noon a hacking cougii «)t in, tlmt increased, unti l a t tlu> close of a long meeting, niy voice faile^l entirely, under the effects of a chronic hiryugitla that Hoon Muperinduted bronchitis, which seri-ously threatened uiy life. 1 wns now comiwlled to decisl from jireaching, and, if possible, overcome those didicultick, and re(X)ver the lost t r easure ,— the voice, tha t to a minister is more valuable than golil or jewels, or be silent forever. I applied to the most eminent physicians, aud was but l i t t le heljied ; save the ex-cision of an eloDgaU^d ovtila, they could •lo nothing but advise rest ; aud this I was couiiHslled lo Uike. What caused and continued tha t constant irritation and hacking cough, they could neither expla in nur jirevent. I 'mviilence threw the remedy in my way. .My wile wns Buffering from j^rolapgus u l t r i , and the profe.isor of the theory ami i)ractice of medicine in the University of Nashville was her physiciim, and he prescribed for her this identical Brairp, which sjH'edily relieved her. 8he complained of !i drag-ging down and no hinguage could IH>1 te r exjtrejs my feelings, and especially a f te r preaching. I t occurred to me if it was good for one caj>e ol dragging down, why not for another . Without consult-ing any one I procured one l.irge eiiougli lor myself and piit it on, the first t ime doubtless i t was ever worn by a man for such a rea-son, and the result WILH, the ir-r i ta t ion of my th roa t soon quieted, and t h e hacking ere long ceiwed, ajid the voice commenced bui lding un, unt i l 1 could art iculate, which 1 had not done for twelve months, and very soon I com-menced to prcach again, ' l ha t Brace I woh3 nearly ten years witliout communi-cat ing its wonderful advantages to an'y one, beciiuse I i l iought I was using an ar t ic le tha t was invented for the use ol females. I ' r ivate ly to a few Hjwcial f r iends who weie Huflerine as I suffered. I explained tlie use of the Brace, and th rough me they obtained it, and were ndeaved .as I v&s. I made known the power of the Brace to restore, strength-en aud preserve the voice in public siieokers. and then commenced offering it a s a p reminm to ministers for oubecrib-ers.

all know that the linings ot the stomach are oonnected with t i ioseof the throat and.afiwt the vociil organs, and when the Btomaoh sinks. a straining is brought to bear upon the throat, and speaking or talking will irritate it and produce botuseness, and if continued, sore throat, s o d all the train of evils that ministers

,are wont to complain of, and v which has . carried! hundrcus to their graves, and

• are

rience of more than one thousand minis-ters upon whom I have fitted the Brace with invariable success, 1 am prejuired to testify of its real merits. Without it, [ am satisfied I should hfivelXKni laid sisidc from public speaking ieighteen years ago. By using it, I have fully nwivennl a lost voice, and am ble»ned with one of un-common power and endurance. With-out it, two or tliree sermons exhaust and give me the sense »>f fatigue, aud leave me with a heavy, iiusky voice; with it, I can speak hours a day Without exhaus- j tion or hoarseness. ( now use it only i when ajieaking, and thus preserve my { voice and and physical energies. I .lo ^ nut iKilieve that any one wouM ever lx> afflicted with heiitia, or jtHfK, or ^veaknos . j of the back or loins, should he WC.HI' i; i ordinarily loose, and only tight WIUMI I pnuitis.lc 8|)eaking or putting forth unusual eni)rts. | blc.«,i yen It is a preserver o( a gotsl voiec and ol u , sound physicial condition.
