Look and see, Clouds of doubt encompass me ; Col j thy all-loving eye, Looking through them, fr JC. on bigb, Can disperse or change them quite, In thy own reflected light. Jesu s! Jesus! Make me know, Which tbe path that I should go ; Which the more unsel6sh way Leading upward day by day, Ever, ever nearer Thee, j Perfect, spotless purity ! Jesus! Jesus! Thou art love; Look upon me from above ; Let thy love encircling mine Fill me with its power divine, So that all my life shall be, Witness of my love for Thee. v Destructive Neglects. The effects of neglects may be slow in devefopment, bt?.t they as surely tend to destraction as does sodden and direct violence to the laws of life. The refusal of air, food, water or ex? ercise will cause death as surely as the ball or knife. . Attention is hereby called to some of these neglects, that are causing spiritual death among us. 1. Private prayer. 2. Family and social prayer. . 8.f The study of the scriptures at home and in the congregations. r4. Private meditation. ."-5. Spiritual conversation. ^ .6. The consecration of a just por ,|?on of bur means to the cause of God and humanity. - Pastors sltould teach and exhort ^ecmcerning these things, as they, who -."?nnst give un account for the souls committed to their care. ~ * A Great Necessity. Hon. J. B. Finch, K. W. G. T., is just right when he says : 'I tell you I Believe as a matter of fact-I know it because I have tried it-if we wish to win in this movement we must go down into our pockets and send these papers to the men we would convert. If you "want to convert- a man to prohibition, - go down into your pockets and interest ' " ' yourself enough to send the papers to ihira. When you po to your homes, I 'believe the~very first thing you should '^^36 is^to see"ihat in every" town of this CTn?ott, where there are 100 to 500 in ?habitants, these papers are circulated. It is for God and humanity; and so I * 3tope if will be done. I believe the ifme has come to stand by the press and the papers which stand by us. 1 know r j^mething of these temperance editors. ' I have been in their offices and homes, .and I know some of them to-day in this nation who are striking the grandest blows for this reform, a od yet can hard- j ly look the grocer, in the face, not \ .knowing whether after figuring op, their profit will !?*? them pay their bills or sot. .They have, stood by us; let us stand by them. It is time we help the papers. "Oar talk won't do al! the work.'-Patri? ot, Cal a-~ ? i -i - AiU Tfse Slingshot Nuisance. A Very Dangerous Toy, the Sale of j whick Should be Forbidden by Law. 4 \ The Noes and Courier ?oes not ad ,-mire sling, shots. We most heartily ff. Join hands with it in condemning its use ia the hands of tUe average small ; boy. - Jt^sayst ? , : s The season is propitious now for the ; . destructive and dangerous slingshot, as : a good many people io Charleston know to their cost. The modern slingshot is the most fiendish and d?a- : | helical as well as the most dangerous instrument that the; ingenuity of mao has ever invented to place in the hands ( of mischievous boys. Those sold io the ^ toy stores oow-a-days are just as dan? gerous as air-guns and more dangerous j than pistols. They shoot a large sized buckshot, and make no noise in the 1 shooting. Unfortunately, when the last- city ordinances were revised the ] modern slingshot had not been inveot- ( ed abd there is oo law in the municipal t statute books agaiost the use of them. ? The public safety, however, demands 1 that such an ordinance shall bc passed j 1 at the very next meeting of City Coun? cil, and it is hoped that the necessary j bill will be introduced. Not more thao j t a month ago a gentleman walking i < along Broad Street narrowly escaped ! 1 being bit by a bullet from a slingshot, ; < and which penetrated the rim of his hat ! j and missed his eye by a hair's breadth, j? Every day complaints are received at j ? - the office of the Netvs and Courier from ! people whose window glasses have been ! smashed by the slingshots, and those j who have hot-houses on their premises i ( baye been put to considerable expense to : 1 repair damages. The nuisance is not j [ confined to this city. Tbe State papers { 1 are full of accidents that are attributa- i 1 ble to the use of the slingshot, and sev- j ' eral cases are reported where persons j i have lost an eye, or been otherwise seri- ! i ously injured by the silent bullet from i ; the slingshot. ; The chief of police 6aid yesterday that he bad no authority to arrest a boy with a slingshot unless the policeman caught him in the act of doing some damage with it. The City Coancil only can abate the nuisance by making tbe sale or use of the slingshot unlaw ful, and it is to be boped that steps in this direction will be taken at the nest meeting of Council. The Convenient Pistol. In his charge to the Grand Jury at the last Court at Spartanburg, S. C., his Honor, Judge Cothran, made use of the following printed, and timely, j words concerning the carrying of concealed weapons : "Can you imagine any use in Hie j world to which a pistol can be put j except to take human life ? Can you j mend a plough stock with a pistol ? Can you make a hoe helve with a pis? tol ? Can you repair any piece of your machiuery that is broken with a pistol ? Can you write letters or keep j a merchant's books with a pistol ? i What can you do with it except to j take human life ? You cannot shoot ? game with it ; you cannot fish with j it For wliat purpose, then, Mr. j Foreman, is it carried-you know j very well the uses to which it has j been put-you know that this coun try has flowed with blood for the past j ten years, and you know how much i of it is due to the fact that the pistol, j v the ready, convenient pistol, was at band." ? Madam Spider. ? great many years ago, a prisoner of state, who was allowed to cheer the solitude of h h dungeon by play ing on his flute, discovered after awhile that every time be played a great number of spiders gathered around him. Since theo the liking of spiders for musio has been proved. I myself had often wish? ed to play for a spider audience, but I was not well enough acquainted with any musical instrument to coax a tune out of it. A scientific gentleman of Europe gave me a valuable hint by an experi? ment of his own. He used a tuning fork. Now, I can play a tuning fork as weil as anybody. I procured a tun? ing fork, and theo sought oat a spider. I found a handsome, bran new web; and though I did not see Mistress Spi? der, I koew she must be at home. Espeira diadema is her foti name, al? though most persons call her a garden spider. It ii* she who makes those beautiful, wheel-like webs which festoon the rose bushes and trees. As I.have said, Madam Spider was not visible. I knew, however, she must be in her gossamer parlor, which is attached to ber web. Here was a good chance to try tun? ing fork music. I rapped the fork on a stone, and in a moment a soft melodi? ous hum filled the air. I touched ooe of the spokes of the web with the fork. Oo the instani Madam flew out of her parlor in great haste, hesitated a mo? ment at the outer edge of the web, and then, instead of going straight to the tuning fork, ran to the very centre of the web. When there she quickly caught hold of each of the spokes, one after the oth? er, and gave it a little tug, as a hoy does his fishing line to see if a fish is hooked. Each was passed by until she came to the spoke upon which the hum? ming fork rested. There she stopped, and it was easy to see she was excited. She gave the whole web a shake, then tugged at the spoke again. "Hum-m ni-ni" still sang the fork, rather faintly now, however. Madam was satisfied. Her mind was made up. Down she darted, and caught the end of the fork tn her arms. She tried to bite into the hard metal, a*d at the same time she spun a web of silk around and around the two prongs, which by this time had ceased vibra? ting. I palled the fork away and Madam Espeira retired in disappointment to the centre of the web. But if she,was dis? appointed, so was I; for I was satisfied that it was not the music of the fork that had attracted her. Unfortunately, it was altogether too probable that she mistook the hum of the fork fdr the buzz of a fly, a sort of music no doubt very sweet to her. Time after time I repeated the experi? ment with the fork, touching in turn Bach spoke of the web; and each time Madam Spider was deluded into trying :o capture the tuning fork. It was odd that she did not learn wisdom by re? peated disappointment.-St. Nicholas. Things Useful.
