AVJNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. A call has gone forth li om this .city . ' for a State Couventiou of Sunday School Teachers to be held in this city, in May Bolt. This is a grand movement, and in the " right direction; there is no polities in it, no sectarianism here, nothiug but pure, Godlike benevolence. No institution ia our highly favored land, has ever accomplished a titho of the good already d?ne tor our dear boys and girls, as by - the blessed Sunday School. Compute If you can io. dollars and cents the val - ne to society of the voluntary, self ?. sacrificing labors, year in and year out, ..;>*. ?ot only on the Sabbath, but through* \? out the week in preparation for the Sabbath, of the half a million' teachers, embracing Qoveruors of States, Judges 00 the benoh, ladies of rank add refine? ment, all filled with love to God and hu ? manity. No earthly reward nor honor do they seek here, both are promised them in heaven. As to the place itself is there a> word outside of the home circL that so quickly lights up the faoe of the ohild aa the word;"Sunday School." It is the synonym of all that is dear and preoious tto'tho heart of every child. Let this call, then, go forth. May it gather such an army of ministers, superintendents, officers and teachers, as has not yet been seen in this "City By the Sea." Let the ministers come, and learn .how to "feed the lambs." Let Super? rot enden ts eome, and learn how much they have yet to Icoro. Let teachers tome, to learn- how best to win the . hearts of the child for heaven. Let the dear children, too. come, to charm al! hy their sweet voices in songs of jubilant praise. Let the rulers and people come, that they may believe thut the good lime ?scorning-will come, wben thc lion and lamb shall lie down together, and a little child shall lead them. A WORKER IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Charleston, Aprd 9th, 1870. THE SHADOWS OF TUB P TUTU BK. A most singular ohain of circumstan . Ses preceded the assassination of Henry LY., of France. In the morning of the slay on which he was laundered by Ravaillac, Friday, May 14, 620, he was ezceediugly pensive. In the hope of composing his spirits he threw himself on his bed, but was unable to rest. Thrice he rose, aud thrice ho fell on his knees io prayer. Soon after, rcparing to the presence ohambor, his attendants endeavored to divert the melancholy that preyed so deeply on his -mind. Being naturally amiable and cheerful, ho tried tofall ru with the well meant plcasan ttefy of his nobles, and attempted to stnilo, but concluded tims: "We have ?aughod enough for Friday; there will bc weeping on Sunday." Iiis nucen Mario de Medi?is had been crowned but the day beforo. La Brosse, a physician, is, by some, reported to have said to the Duke do Vendome on that evening, "if the king survives a danger which threatens him at present, $ he will live theso thirty years." Thc ?' . duke entreated the king to grant this physician an aud:ence, and repeated what the old gentleman had boon say? ing. His majesty with unusual asperity and hastiness, replied : "He is an old ' fool for telling you such things, and you are a young one if you believe him." ' The duke's rejoinder wus given respect? ful sod sensible : "Sir, one may not believe suoh things, but ono may fear . them." Buy le, however, has endeav? ored to shake the credit of this wholo .tony. The same day ns the king and queen were walking through an apartment of the palace, the king stopped to speak With, somebody present. The queen Stopping at the name time, he said to l?SFi st? by a spirit of involuntary proph? esy : "Go on, go on, madam; the re gent." A few night? bnlbro the .erastroph* the queen dreamed that all '* th? jewels in her crown were changed r lalo pearls, and thal ah o was told pearls were??gD?flcative|of;tears. Another night .ho started and oried ont in her sleep, ' ?ad waked the king, who, asking her ",: what was the matter, ?he answered : "I ??Ave had a frightful dream; but I linow that dream? are mete illusions " Htf*& always of tho tame opluion," j ??id Uti* ( "bowavwi tall me what ? .ffoviM^- '?!/ fcomved/' con r>, I ?? ?mmmd abe, "that yea weft i?hU? wHh . koife under til? .hort rib?." Thank God 1" added th? king, "it wa? but a dream." Goth? morning of the faul day hi? maj et ty waa, as we bar? before ob? .erred, unusually low. More tbao ooo? ho ?aid to tho?? about him : "Something or other hang? v?ry beary on my heart." | Before be eotered bi? carriage ho took leave of the queen no fewer than three tim??, and bad not passed through many streets er?
