H iTfl, theu, beueatb tli's slab, the man
wLos v dc? could make sold'ers tremble
with hi* hoa-se shoutings, lies as quiet
as that iufaut there. What a man !?
a day laborer in this valley some eighty
years ago; a volunteer sgabi-t the
Indians, and uiatked by his commander
as an officer, for his enterprise and
courage ; a wagon- r, aod an abased
colonial militiaman in the service of
his king; an officer of the riflemen at
the storming of (Quebec with Montgomery,
and at the battle of Saratoga; a
Major-General in the Continental
army, and always a kind-hearted,
honest man, rough among rough men,
sensitive of honor, generous with the
brave,?here he sleeps, this thunderbolt
cf war ; this bravo M jrgau, v ho
never knew . fear. He was in camp
often wicked aud veiy j rofaue; but
never a disbeliever in religion. He
testilled that himself.
lu his latter years, General Morgan
professed religion, and unit *d himself
with the Prrsoyteriau church in Winchester,
V'a., under the pastoral care of
the Rev. Dr. Hill. His last day* were
passed in this town, and while siukiug
to the grave he related to his minister
the experience of his soul:
"People thought," said he, "ilia'
Daniel Morgan nev? r preyed; people
said old Morgan neverVas afraid ; people
did uc t knew.*1 He proceeded to
relate, in his blunt manner, among
many other things, that the night they
tormed (Quebec, wL ie waiting in the
darkness and s'orm with his m-n paraded,
for the word to advance, he felt
unhappy, the enterprise appeared more,
than perilous; it seemed to liim that
nothing less than a miracle could bring
them off safe from an encounter at such
an amazing disadvantage. He stepped
aside and kneeled by the side of a munition
of war, and there most fervently
prayed that the Lord God Almighty
would be his shield Radddepoe, for
nothingness than^^^^jjj^ty^^y^
the blUt^^Sj
CowpW^ whlish covered him., with eo*f
much glory as & leader ana aTololSr, he I
had felt afraid to fight Tarleton with
his large army flashed with success,
and that he had retreated as long as be
could till his men complained, and he
could go no farther. Drawing up his
army in three lines on the hill-side, contemplating
the scene, in the distanoe
the glitter of the advancing army, be
trembled for the fate of the day. Going
to the woodB in the rear, he kneeled
in an old tree top, and poured out a
prayer to God for his aruiy and for
himself and for his country. With relieved
spirits he returned to the lines,
aud in his rough winner cheered them
for the fight as he passed along; they
answered him bravely. The terrible
carnage that followed their deadly aim
decided the victory. In a few moments
Rawdon fled.
"Ah," said be, "people said old Morgan
never feared ; they thought old
Morgan never prayed ; they did not
know old Morgan was often miserably
afraid."
"And if he had not been in the circumstances
of amszing responsibility
in which he was placed, how could he
have been brave V"
Now, who shall say that his presetva^
tlon in these cases, and in many others^
was not indissolubly connected with
his prayers and fervent cries to God ?
He called on God, and the Lord heard
him.

What Is a Bucket Shop?
Dot?s the bucket shop differ from the
stock and produce exchangest- That
quet-tion comes up occasionally in the
city governments. Is a bucket shop
purely a gambling concern? The
Standard Dictionary, the latest authority,
says it is "an office where people
may gamble in fractional lots of stocks,
grain or other things which are bought
and told on the exchanges. The bucket
j shop u < the terms anil outward roruis
of the Exchanges, but differs from the
Exchanges in that there is no delivery
and no intention t? deliver ? r receive
securities or commodities said to be
sold or purchased."
In the bucket shop it is pure and
simple betting oi the rise end fall of
prices. For instance, if one believes
that cotton will close h'gher in the
afternoon than it opened iu the morning,
he will nominally buy any num?
ber of bales he wishes. If the price
goes up he gets the excess over the
opening price. If it goes down, he has
to ray the ddTerence i?? to the shop.
On the Cotton Exchanges it is agreed
that the cotton shall be delivered if
the demand is" made. But the settlements
are always, or nearly always,
made in money. In neither ease is the
money for the whole purchase ever
paid. In the Exchange* the margin is
require 1 t > be Kept up. One might
carry a hundred bales of cotton for
j several mouths by paying $125 ; provided
he whs 011 the winning si "e. If on
the losing side he has to advance a dollar
a hale every time there is an
advance of twenty poiuts against him,
The same principle applies to grain
and stocks
Tillman's Populistic Views.
The Washington Times makes the
following reference to the populistic
inclination of Senator Tillman :
"The bills int-oduced in the Senate
so far by the populist m mbers are
considerably in advaece of those of
last session. Allen, of Nebrask", who
is looked upon as the ablest man of
this party in the Senate, has several
bills which contain good ideas and,
shorn < f some of the populistic features,
might stand some chance of becoming
laws.
"It is said that the Southern populists
are fsr more radical in their views
than those of the West, and some very
fieakish measures msy be looked for

written for the Sunday School Times
of December 21, a sketch of her meeting
with this strange character. "No

A corres! ondent of the Charlotte
Observer has a rotice of a recent visit
to Dr. B. M. Palmer, the patriarch
Presbyterian preacher of New Orleans.
He is now 78 years old and able to
preach. His eyesight has failed and he
reads with great difficulty, even when
using a powerful glass. He is too old
for general pastoral work, but he is
never idle. The Christian population
of New Orleans honor and respect him.
