Though heaven alone records the tear, And Fame shall never know her story, Her heart has shed a drop as deep As e'er bedewed the field of gloty. The wife who girds her husband's . sword, 'Mid little ones who weep or wonder, And bravely speaks the cheering word, WI at though her heart be rent asunder, Doomed nightly in her dreams tc hear That bolts of deati around him rattle, Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the field oj battle. The mother who canceals her griel While to her breast her son st presses, Then breathes a few brave words an< brief, Kissing the patriot brow sh blesses, With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weigh upon her, Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on Freedom's field c honor. -[T.

London, Aug. 16.-Methodists all over the world will be interested in the latest plan ot Mr. R. W. Perks, M. P., to bind them in one universal brotherhood. Interviewed concern ing this churchly scheme, he said: . "Every ten years the Methodists hold an international congress. Our next congress takes place three years hence at Washington. By that time it is my belief that my scheme will already be accomplished. It will be a great day for Methodism. I pre di t, for the same year ou great hall at Westminstar built upon the site of the old Aquarium will be opened as the world's headquarters of the Methodist church. "My proposition calls for the es tubbshment of what might be called a vast Freemasonry of Methodism at least so far as the unive3rsal brother hood features are onTorned. And practically I propose that the church should deal with emigratiou prob. lems, the crisis of unemployment, and the encouragement of thrift by a 3 world-wide Methodist organization. Many of the things that I have sug. gested have been received with grave a and well considered approbation by the leaders of our church. Our brethren in Americi are enthu'iastic. f Before next year it is my intention to personally consult the views and wishes of Methodists throughout the entire world. I know that it is a 3 gigantic task but'the results will be gigantic also." Unknown Tongues at West Union. For several weeks past a meeting has been in progress at West Union conducted by Jim Knox and Peter Majors, both colored, which has had a tendency to cause many negroes to act in a way that has been annoying to the citizens adjacent to the church. These leaders claim to belong to the sect regarded as "The Unknown Tongue." They jabber and chat'e and act in many other foolish ways, and the judgment of- some who have attended the meetings ia, that the whole push have gone crazy. They have gone so far in their teachings as to leave the impressi n upon the minda of these ignorant creatures that they can raise the dea l to life, claiming that they have been ordered by the Lord to do so. Jim Knox gave out the announce ment last week that on Wednesday night at nine o'clock he would by di vine authority raise the body of Silas Wright from the gr-av.., where it has lain for the past seven or eight years. Cons4 cuently much excitement and interest prevailed amrong the negroes, and long hbefore the appointed hour a larje number of those whbo have been attending the meeti-ngs, and also a fewv white people whlo were anxious to see wvhat wvould he done, met at the grave yard. A~t nine o'clock, .Jizr. Knox wvas at 'he grave of Silas Wright, where' he began his mnanevres. We are infornli ed that he began shaking two hand kerchiefa over thet grave, back and forth, then walked off a few steps, saving, "The Lord is not ready for him to rise yet." He then returned lowers never to doubt, that he would accomplish his work. He then began . tearing down the head and foot stones that had been placet there .d mark the last resting place of SIlMas Wright, when Charlie Wright, brothb' er of the dead man, appeared oR the' j. scene and put a stop to all the pro, ceediugs. W arrants have been issued for aeev eral of the negroes connected with the affair, and they will have to an swer to Magistrate A. V:. Crisp on a charge of dtstroyiug tombstones hall grave yard. This poceeding closed the meeting and the citizens of West Union are now enjoying that peaceful. ol.nob . of wbich they have ben deprived. Later-Nine of the negroes- for whom warrants had been issued charging them with mutilating tdmb stones, were tried before Magistrate Crisp yesterday, but the prosecution failed to produce ,sufficient evidence to convict and the case against them, was dismissed. Mahaley Wright, widow of the dead man who was to have been resurrected, testified that she placed 'the tombstonea-at the grave, they were hers, and that she was in favor of what was done there on the night of August 7th.-Oconee News. Pointed Paragraphs, The road to sucess has many-buy ways. A little present is often bpt an other na-npe for a bribe. The affection of too many wives is of the cold storage brand. Our idea of a loafer is a man who rests before he gets tired. It's easy to dress a profitable busi. ness in the garb of respectability. A blockhead isn't the only chap wio celebrates his wooden wedding. One opportunity is enough for the man who knows how to take advani tsige of it. Too often a wife's yearning capac ity is larger than the husband's earn ing capacity A fter a man gets to be about so old all the romance has oozd out of his system. When a man's popularity begins to ware lis neighbors usually get b sy at d assist. The woild is full of foolish people who are unable to see things from our poipt of view. Time gets away. from an old man almost as quickly as money gets iiway from a young one. Remember, young man, if you are not satisfied with your job, the chances are that the boss will not r~fase to accept your resignation. - [Chicago News. In Memorlam.
