Tins was *le$>|ro8ented to us o Ikninif on rwAti*lt? u-rvi>cr<l wlvon pftmnnrc With the bchaviorol* those iu attendant last year. , If tho object of the Camp Meeting is t promote the causo of Christianity w fear *it is a failurct We believe sue meetings should be discontinued on tli tho SabbatK We like to see our peopl attending fairs, and other quiet meeting' but we do not think it well for such meei iugs to take place on Sunday. It seem tobca desecration of tho day. If hov <ever> sttvli meetings are to be held, w * Would suggest that a little practic le com In on sense be injected into their manag< toent. On Sunday the morning servict were conducted between twelve and on o'clock. A recess was taken until tbrc o'clock. Upon assembling some ba < dozen unshoan a men seated tnemselve facing the audience. A few persons joir cd them in saying. After thi* a Sutula School meeting was held. The first speak or was no doubt a very excellent gentle man and a very devout Cbistian* but h has much to lo;irn in the art of makiu Sunday school speeches. A few person gave him attention, but the great mass < those within the sound of his voice pai ?io attention. When be had finished, an wbon it was late in the afternoon, a fin speaker was introduced, but many < those present, were compelled to leav before he had finished, whilo members < those who retnainod enjoyed the Bpeec flint* thnxr wnnlrl hnvA flnn*v if It h#* been delivered earlier. ? JI f* not out of order we would offer thl suggestion : In the first place, a Cam Meeting is not the place to hold a Sunda school meeting. In the Becoud place, 1 it is held, it should not 1*3 postponed t such a lrtte hour, and in the third plac< it is no time to put up poor speakers when good ones are present Is it a Cause of Complaint t Tho excursionists from llonea Path Donalds, and Hodges, were disappoints last Monday in consequence of a delay c the train at Hodges for two or three hour while waiting for tho arrivnl of a trail from the lower end of tho road. The de lay was made more tiresome from thefac that the passengers were unable to get in formation as to the probable length c time which they would have to wait. I would seem to us that when a hundret passengers are waiting to be off, that an; politeuess in this regard should not b withheld by the company's employee.' A bulletin containing information for th curious would cost the company and it agents but iittle, and this course wouli prevent annoyanco. Railroad official under such delays usually arc no dout worried a groat deal, by oft repeate< questions, but we think the circumstance would warrant not only a civil answei but that consideration which would in . duce the company's employees to gratif a natural curiosity on the part of thei , patrons. Everybody can'tstand an un avoidable accident without complaint. The Chief Justiceship. The Aiken Jourtutf. and Review has a ablo, and a well written article in reply t onr article in reference to the Chief Jus ticesnip, which, if wo were not short c type-setters, we would reproduce in tlies - columns. Our only object is to be rigli VWhen we advance an opinion, we are a * ways ready to give the other side a show ing. Wo assure our friend that we sha be perfectly satisfied with any docisio . the Supreme Court may make. i The anti-stock law men, we believ< have abandoned any notion of makin tie stock law a question in this campaigr ' This is wise and patriotic.

The case su bin I ited charges no ae!i iv.q /sauti, the circuit decree charges none, unl ol(. it may be involved In order setting aside ien sale. We are left to search an original c ieij elusion as to the bona fides, from the f.i lub stated, viz: the advertisement, purchase ., n mortgagees and prospect of a resale at an my vanced price.

But It Is I ' slsted that If there is nothing lti any of , J other points the lot was sold ata very Inn ilp quale price and that alone Is sufllclent h set aside the sale.

I1C Again Hannah stands before you as t.ng Christian mother, from her prayers an us from the way consecrated her boy to God,: ,,,'t know that she was good.

I bless God that there ar not many pruyerle*s mothers?not many c A them. The weight of responsibility is s > great that they feel the need of a Jdlvinc han , to help, and a divine voice to comfort, and , nc jivine heart to sympathize. Thousands e 77 mothers have been led into the kingdom < l,lu God by the hands of their little children * " i u^rc wure uuuuruus ui imdiikmh who woun ntr not have been Christians had it not been lo the prattle of their little ones. Standing som lls' day in the nursery, they bethought thenisel ves. "This child God was given inc to rais for eternity. What is my Influence? No _T being a Christian myself, now can 1 ever exy peet him lo become a Christian? Lord hei] I me?" Are tliero anxious mothers, win | know nothing of thelullnltchelpof religion I Then I commend lo tiiem Hannah, the piom J inothor of Samuel. Do not think it is al>so iutcly impossible that your children eomeuj iniquitous. Out of Just such fair brows, am bright eyes, and soft hands, and Innocent 1 hearts, crimo gets its victims?extirpating purity from the heart, and rubbing out tin smoothness from the brow, and quenching tin lustre of the eye and shriveling up, and pols onlng, and putrefying, and scathing, ant J scalding, and blasting, and burning will Jl shame and woo. Kvery child Is a bundle ol tremendous possibilities; and whether tluil child shall come forth In lift-, Its heart a 11 lined to the eternal harmonies, and after a life oi usefulness on earth go to a life of Joy In nj| heaven ; or whether across It shall Jar eternal l"'1 discords, and alter a life of wrong doing on co earth It shall go to a home of linpeuel rattle darkness and an abyss of Iminensuralib plunge, is being decided by nursery Ming and Sabbath lesson, and evening prayer, nnd walk and ride, and look,and frown, and smile. Oh ! | how many children are in glory, crowding all the battlements, and lifting a million-voiced hosauna, brought to God through Christian parentage. One hundred and twenty clergymen were together, and they were telling their experience and their ancestry; and ot theone hundred and twenty clergymen, how many of them do you suppose assigned as the means of their conversion the Influence of a >n christian mother? One hundred out of the ve one hundred and twenty! I'hllio Doddrldg of was brought to God by the scripture lesson on utjthe Dutch tilf- of achlmney fireplace. The a ! mother thinks she Is only rocking a child, but nt! at the same time she may bejroekiug tlio late of | of nations, rocking the dories of heaven. 'Die at same maternal power that may lift the child h-1 lip may press a child down. A le! daughter came to a wrldly mother or, and said she was anxious about her sins, and she hail been praying all ulgnt. The mother said: "Oh, stop praying ! t don't believe In praying. Get over all these religious notions and I'll give you a dress that will cost 500, _ and you may wear it next jveek totliat party."' The daughter took the dress, and she moved in the Kay circle, the gayest of all the gay that night; and sure enough, all religious impressions were gone, and she stopped praying. A few months after flic came to die, and in her closing moments said : ".Mother, I wish jou would bring me that dress tUut wst Sow," The mother thought It a Vrry strange request hut she brought it to please the dying child-. ' iNow," saltl the daughter, "mother, hang that dress on the foot of my bed," and the dress was hung there, on the foot of the bed. Titn?% f l?o /li'imr crlcl irof. tin mi nn<*-nlhc?w n.?ld looked nt her mother, and then pointed to till dress nnd said : "Mother, that dress Is the . price of my soul! Oh, what almomentoUH thing It 1r U) be a mother. " Again,and lastly, Hannah stands boforoyou e a rewarded mother. For all the coats t-he made for .Samuel, for all the prayers sho offer* ' j <e.l' him, for the dlsciplinecxerted ovcrhim jclie got abundant compensation in the , I piety, and the usefulness, rnd the popularity 41 of her son Samuel, and that Is true in all ages. 11 Every mother gets, full my /or nil the prayI" ers and tears In behalf of her children. That J man useful in commercial life; that man pro mlnent in a piofesiion; that master mechanic why, every step he takes In life has aneciio of gladness in tne old heartthat long ago nfught him to boa Christian, and heroic and earnest The story .of what you have done, or what * l you have written, of the influence you have ? exerted, has gone back to the old homestead Jr for there is some one always ready to carry good tidings?and that story makes the '} needle in the old mother's tremulous hand L fly quicker, and the flail in the father's hand , comedown upon the barn tloor with a vlgorous thumb. Parents love to hear cood news . from their children. ])o you send them good ? news always 1 Look out for the young man . who speaks of his father as "the governor," " the "squire," or the "old chap."

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sojnetimes the pain is felt, under the shoulder blade, a#d it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in gen- j eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen- ^ snfinn nf havtntT lefV nnHnnp cnmi=. thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- * cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude ] enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them exited, yet examination of the body, ifter death, has shown the liver to iave been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. ( Dr. C. McLane's Liver P:lls, in :asks ok Ague and Fever, when aken with Quinine, are productive of he most happy results. No better rathartic can be used, preparatory to, >r after taking Quinine. We would idvise all who are afflicted with this liscase to give them a fair trial.
