Failing to get convicts, or an appropriation we hope that honorable body may order us to do the jcb ourselves. The Trial Justice system will likely Vvccive more or less attention at the kiext meeting of the General Assembly. The lien law will be store to come in !

In case of loss we think fire insurance companies should by law be mad" > to pay in full the policies on which they have received premiums. The matter of a Constitutional Convention will be voted down, as will alro the many proposed Constitutional j Amendments. If they do not the peo-1 pie will do so. If the lien law which secures ad-j vances by merchants on growing crops ; is repealed, the lien for rent should al-j wo be repealed. Trent merchant and landlord in the same way. Our neighbors in Edgefield are greatly exercised over the prospect of * he stock law for that county. When the present opponents of the law havej had a year's experience with the new way of doing they will be as much delighted as anybody. The law is equitable and just, and cannot fail to commend itself to our Edgefield friends. The liquor license law u ill likely be, brought up for consideration and mod-j ification. It might be well to change it in regard to domestic wine. The fanatics on free education may! seek further appropriations for that purpose by local taxation or otherwise. Ninety-five out of every hundred tax payers in this county, think their taxes are already high enough for Mioun lmrd fining. Owing to the freshets last winter J which swept away so many of our] bridges, the heavy expenses of the Court, and the hoarding of negroes in our jail awaiting trial for cases which | should not be brought into Court, it is quite likely that there will be a deficiency, and that the Commissioners will have to ask for an extra levy to pay that deficiency. The Gree nville Xcwe, a few days ago, Contained a very sensible and manly article on personalities in journalism. While it has frequently felt itself called upon to criticise the position and the arguments of the other papers, it has never descended into personal abuse, the more especially as the law now inits a person who has been in-. suited in a very embarrassing position. | This is the view the Xcwx and Herald , has always held and it is glad to have no able an ally as the Greenville Xewa. The public are as much to blame as the newspapers for a low tone in journalism. When one individual rushes into print and calls another a liaror thief j or a paltroon, everybody runs to s?e a i copy of the paper, espeially it' lie j doesn't subscribe to it. Jn the samel way the public gloats over scandals nnd horrors of all kinds, and the edi- j tor must choose between pandering to! this depraved taste, or keeping up tliej lone of the paper at the risk of having J it called dull and prosy. There is! great need of a general reform both on I the part of the newspapers and tliej readers, to whose tastes tiny are ex-i pectea to eater. The above paragraph we take from : t he Winmboro News and Herald. We j disagree with that paper in the belief; that the public endorses "alow tone! in journalism." The public of Abbe-! ville county we believe to be disgusted ! with anything like coarseness, vulgarity or ]>ersonal abuse. As for the Prem and Banner, those possessing a "depraved taste," are welcome to "call it dull and prosy," if by the exclusion of ^oramunieations calling anybody "a liar or thief or a poltroon," we make our paper uninteresting. We neither make use of those words ourselves nor; nllow anybody else to do so in the I'rcas and Banner. If any citizen feels like calling his neighbor, "a liar, i || * a thief, or a poltroon," he must do soi to his face and not through the newspaper over which we have control. In our opinion men possessing unquestioned courage will seldom find occasion to go behind his neighbor's back to call him hard names. The manlier way is to speak to the face of his adversary. It seems to us that if there is one thing more cowardly than another it is to write an illmannered piece, and then stick it on r tree, a door, or a fence and run off befoie the attacked man arrives?to put such a piece in a newspaper needs 110 characterization from us. The pub- j lie will generally understand the wis- j dom of the discretion of the writer of euch pieces, while au intelligent pub- j lie cannot fail to have a contempt for au editor who uses his paper for such ' base purposes. savannah \ alley Railroad. The work on the Savannah Valley' Railroad progresses as rapidly as pos-: ?ible, and the importance of the line: is becoming better known every day, j nnd as no great enterprise once set on j foot ever goes backward, we may con-i elude that the completion of this road is only a question of lime. It runs, through a valley which, for fertility,! will equal the valleys of Louisiana,! and for health is equal to the summit of the Blue Iiidge itself. The line of this road is particularly rich in water powers. There are in Abbeville and Anderson counties not less thau forty valuable water powers ? one half of which would turn the spindles of the United States. While these facts are susceptible of proof it is also true that the line of this road, for a greater part of the distance, is thirty miles or more fmm Ihp lin??rif nnv nthpr rmwl. Tf the people along the line will do a little work themselves capital will not be slow to come to their aid. Much of the road in Anderson has already been graded, and wo presume the work will be pushed in this county also. Abbeville has contributed liberally and will yet give much more. Railroads are so valuable to the people in contributing to the public treasury that we are in favor of taxation for grading roads. As a money investment it pays the county, and for this; reason we should be willing to tax the i whole property of the county to build : a road in any part of our boundary. The Columbia and Greenville Rail-i road in this county is assessed at half a million dollars or one-tenth of all the property in the county. If forty miles of railroad pays taxes on so large an amount, what would we get with the Savannah Valley and the Greenwood and Augusta Railroads finished ? Ours would certainly be a county rich j in Railroads. In our last issue of the J'rcss and' Manner we made an error in the transfers of lands. We had it James T. j Hester and Heury Hester to II. 1*. de, wLen it should have been It. Ii-. do to James T. Heater and Henry Correspondents Who <];> Not Head the Newspapers. Wo Hiink it would lie entirely safe to venture t lie assert inn Hint correspondents of ncw.-papcrs read less and see less in the newspapers (lion any cither class uf men capable of reading. In proof of this, one cannot fail to b? impressed with their unanimity of expression in acknowledging that they did not see the article to which they had taken exception, until their "attention was called to the article in | question." People who read the newspapers sometimes And articles, butotlended correspondents never do ?their "attention is always called'' to; them. If a man does not read the. newspapers we do not see the wisdom of his proclaiming his ignorance. Some of these correspondents who doI not read might otherwise pass for reasonably intelligent citizens who kept] aoreusi wuu uie uuiits Mr. Beliefs Snccc?*. Mr. Denet in acquitting- Jeff David shows what pertinacity, indomitable will, and well directed efforts will accomplish. His labor in this case has been almost as Herculean as clausing the Augean stables. At first he had public opinion. Governors, Courts, and the most able Solicitor, to contend with and now despite a forcible Solicitor and a logical assistant attorney has come oft* triumphant. At one time public belief was that JelF David was guilty of the foul crime of which he stood charged, but after hearing Mr. lienet's eloquent appeal for his client, ami knowing the good citizens who composed the jury, and being convinced that their deliberate, mature, snd fiim conviction was that he was "Not Guilty." Our citizens generally, we think, have accepted the verdict as as a righteous one, and are willing to let it go on record that some one other than Jeff David killed George and Drucilla Franklin. ? 43^ The Work en the Farm. Abbeville has a large area sowed in oats. Three times as much barley has been put in the ground in any previous year. The wheat crop will now be put in. It seems that our farmers are being convinced of the necessity of the winter crops. Many farmers are going to sow largely and reduce their expense in horse power. The wisdom of this plan of farming cannot be doubted when a field of oats is worth nearly as much as the same field in cotton. The one is a costly crop to produce while the other is almost inexpensive on a well regulated farm. I t * nrn:i?RP\rF [Explosion of a Steam Mill with Fatal Resiilts.?-Bodies Dreadfully j Mangled. The Mischief a Foolish Negro and a 1 Heavy Log Chain I)id->-Closing a Safety Valve-?Bursting a Boiler. Yesterday evening about sundown, the boiler cf the steam etigino which runs the grist and saw mill of Mr. W. 0. Cromer about throo miles east of this village exploded, destroying the mill, and very seriously injuring Charles Cox, white, and llobert Keller, colored. lien* rv Richardson, oolorcd, wils scalded. Mr. Cromer, Scott Chiles, and John Strowder escaped unhurt. Dr. l'arkcrj and Dr. Mcllridc wero immediately sent for. From Dr. McBride, who returned from the scene of the explosion last night about twelve o'clock, we learn the fol-l lowing particulars: Robert Keller had both thighs broken, one arm broken and badly mutilated, his lower jaw was torn away, and his tongue] cut nearly in two. He died while being] taken from the mill to his home about a! mile distant. Keller was not employed at the mill, but was a customer who! was loafing about the mill after his! "turn" had been ground. Charles Cox's right log below the knee' was struck by a falling piece of inachin-l erv, breaking both bones, tearing all the He'sh from the bones for a distance of at least six inches, and otherwise mutilating the Hesh which, the Doctor says, is simply indescribable. The worst and most serious injury which Mr. Cox received was a blow on the right side of) the head which produced concussion of] the brain, rendering him comatose, from ' which it is believed it is impossiblo lor him to rally. Mr. Cox is a worthy young man, aged 17 years and was an employee at the mill. Mr. Cromer was standing within oue foot of Mr. Cox when the explosion took place, but was uninjured. The explosion is accounted for in this way: The engineer had been arranging something about the engine which was out of gear. The register indicated 120 pounds to the square inch, and the steam was escaping from tho safety valve. 15cing aunoyeu by the escape of the steam, he threw a log chain over tho lever of j the safety valve, which closed it. In ai few minutes, as might have been ex-j pected, the boiler burst. The boiler is believed to have been perfect. CONFEDERATE BONDS. The Boom Continues?Snip of Over Six, Hundred Thousand of Them in Au-| gusta Yesterday at From Eight to | Nine Dollars a Thousand. A ugusta Ch ron iclc. Tho boom in Confederate bonds continues unabated, and the price has risen rapidly. A week or two ago two dollars a thousand was offered, and sales wero made at that ligure. The prico rose from day to day. One gentleman in Augusta, who discovered a hundred thousand in an old trunk hi his garret, sold them at two dollars and seventy-five cents a thousand. ] As the demand increased, tho offers rose to three, then to five to six, and yesterdaj' largo sales wero made at from eight to! nine dollars a thousand. Messrs. John J. I Cohen it Sous sold over six hundred thousand at these figures and advertise for more. Mr. Willis, of Charleston, advertises in this morning's Chronicle for Confederate bonds, and also for Confederate notes of tho denomination of $100 and $ 300. This is a now phaso of the matter, and there may also bo a boom in these. J. O. Mathewson A Co. also advertise for Confederate bonds this morning. There have been sold In Augusta during the past | 'l""" ?. ?<?L-a nlimit million dnllnrsi of Confederate bonds, bringing about 315,000, in good money for that which has hither- i to been thought to be utterly worthless.! A few people are holding back and refuse to part with bonds which they have, under the impression that they are a good i thinu to hold. The general opinion is, i however, that as soon as the English par- J ties from whom the inquiry for the bonds come, have secured all that they want and tho demand, therefore, ceases, thoso who j still have bonds hero will lind that they j have nothing more than worthless paper on their hands. Intrinsically tho bonds' are worth nothing. It is certain that they j will never be paid in this country. Their i only value Rooms to depend upon tho idea | of those who are buying them in Eng-j : land, that they can secure, through them,! the money deposited in tho Bank of England by the Confederate Government duri ing the war. The outstanding iudebted' ness of the Confederacy was near $700,000,000, but it is safe to say that two-thirds, at least, of this has been destroyed, loav 1 ing, perhaps, $200,000,000 in various hands. , As tho deposit in tho Bank of England, ; principal and interest, is said to amount, I to only about ?3,000,000, it can readily be! i Been that tho per centago would bo small ; if all of this was presented for redempi tion with this last remnant of the Confederacy. But of course English holders I would bo fore-handed in this matter, having employed able counsol, and tho probability is, nav almost certainty that they would get all tho deposit for the bond's that they held, leaving such holders in the South who had held on to what they had with a lot of waste paper. We remember to have seen a young lady at a masked ball, a few years ago, with a dress made of thousand dollar Confederate bonds. ])oubtless hundreds of thousands of them were used for various purposes. Wo heard of one party who pasted a large quantity up in his house as wallpaper. Somo bonds were utilized as advertising "dodgers," having advertisements printed on the backs.

There are not provisions enough in the town to feed it forty-eight hours. The new paper, the Chronicle, was burned out. Tlio Advertiser's building and property are safe. The lire broke out,just before dawn in the large livery stable of the Tillman IIo| tel. The merchants and business men are ; terrible losers. The firo desolated everyj thing Irom the Tillman Hotel to the Saluda House. The loss of property is immense. The stocks of goods generally were not insured. Mrs. Tillman and her daughters are homeless, but are in the hands of many friends who will take care of them. The" fire is supposed to be injcendiarv. At this hour tho fire has ex ! hausted itself. People from the country I arc thronging in, and tho scene is one of i wild confusion and awful sadness. Tho loss is estimated at more than ?100,000. | Insurance about $34,000. Frightful Accident. A HELPLESS VESSEL HURLED DOWN THE RAGING MISSISSIPPI. SIio Strikes a Bridge Pier, and Soon Settles nt tho Bottom?Horrible Scenes Aboard?Plaintive Cries of the Unfortauato Victims?The Loss of Life. [Augusta Chronicic and Constitutionalist.] Davenport, Iowa, October 2S.?The steamer Gilgrist left this point, last night, i in apparently good trim and condition, ! bound for all points up the river, loaded I with a large and valuable cargo of misccli laneous freight, and carrying in lier cabin I n full list of passengers. When the steamier had passed under Government bridge, spanning the Mississippi, and connecting the cities of Davonport and Bock Island, the cam rods of the euginosuddenly gavo, way, causing the entire machinery to become unmanageable and useless. The I river is vory high, owing to the rocent extensive Hoods, and the curront unusually rapidly, so when the Gilchrist had no longer her machinery to keep her bow up tho stream, the swiftly moving river carried tho helpless vessel down the stream at a rapid and appalling rate. Being so near tho bridge, tho steamer was thrown with tremendous and resistless force against one of the abutments. As tho Gilchrist came in collision with tho enormous mass of stone, she cartoned, causing one of the safety valves of the; steam chest to break from their fastenings and slide otT. The valves no longer holding chock on the ?.oam in tho boilers, it poured out in huge volumes and enveloped the hapless crew and passengers, who were wildly endeavoring to secure life preservers in tho main saloon, and scalded many of them in an awful mauner. I No sooner had tho steamer rebounded! from tho second shock of tho collision then she began pinking, in which condition she was carried past tho city, the shrieks and cries for help uttered by tho frenzied victims being distinctly audible to the large crowd of citizens who soon thronged tho banks, but could not extend assistance, as the steamer was hurled past their eyes by the turbulent river. All of the small boats and skilfs, usually numerous, on tho river had been drawn ashore and laid away for tho Winter, and to escape the Hoods which have prevailed all along tho course of tho Mississippi; river for nearly a fortnight, so that there was no means of speedily reaching the sinking steamer. Other steamers lying at the bank immediately went to her assistance, and are actively at work searching for survivors. It is learned that thcro were on board twenty-three passengers, four of whom were females, and a crew ol fifteen. Only eight persons have been saved so far, and of these some arc very badly scalded. Three of the lady passengers* aro known to havo been killed or scalded to death. The city is in great excitement, and everything possiblo is be mil; uuiju lu it'imvu uiu uuiui Lunattn. There is but little hope that any more can be saved. Drunkenness the Princlblc Cause. Rook Island, III., October 28.?Far-1 ther intelligence from the see no of thoj wreck of the steamer Jennie Gilchrist is to the effect that seventeen persons in all j were lost and seventeen saved. The other I passengers might have been saved if they j had yielded to the instructing of the more! cool headed who went among them be- j fore the steamer struck tiie pier and urged | them to get on board the bargo. The lat- ] ter even tried to drag them from the cab-1 in, but they were so territied and power-' less that they could mako no effort to save j themselves. The steamer had in tow a j bargo and one Hat boat. The latter was being pushed at the bow of tht? steamer, ; while the bargo was fastened to the port [side. There seems to be no doubt that j the steamer was totally unfit for the work [ expected of her. Sho was heavily laden [and tho most of tho crew were drunk. ; Furthermore sho was merely a freight boat and not licensed to carr}r passengers. Tho accident was entirely duo to carelessness and liquor. There was a good deal I of whisky in the cargo and somo of it i was tapped before tho steamer left her wharf. m Calendar Clocks. Mr. A. W. Jones has just received a good stock of marine nickle plated calendar clocks, which he is selling at two dollars, and two dollars and fiftycents. ?

Witliin the last two weeks Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Latimer of Donaldsville, have lost two little children by death. A house and buggy sold in Donaldsville last Monday for $2.95. Mr. Calvin V. Martin had his hand badly lacerated in agin at Donalds, on the 31st Oct. He bore the surgical operation well and though ten tingers are off, there is hope of saving the remaining part of the hand. The proprietor went to him and asked if lie wanted to bo shown anything. "No," said the nervous man "I just wanted to sit around. My physician lias recommended perfect quiet for mo, and says above all I must avoid being in crowds. Noticing that you did not advertise in the newspapers, I thoueht that this would bo as quiet a placo as I could find ; so I just dropped in for a few hours isolation." The merchant picked tip a bolt of paper cambric to bram him but the man went out. He said all ho wanted was a quiet life. The Charleston bagging factory is represented to be ono of the finest successes of the day. Tho capital has been increased from $100,00 to ?250,000, and the production of the mill now reaches 3,000.000 yards of bagging per annnm.

Senuon by Henry Ward Needier. < Christian Union. 1 "Hut It Is Rood for me 10 draw near to fiod ; ! I have put my trust in the Lord Cod, that 1 j mn.v declare nil thy works."?Rs.v Ixxlli.. 2S. . There has been a controversy going on from the earliest period of which we have any re- , cord as to whether there is a moral law In the j universe which I*as definite, as constant., as , purely armed both with penalties and rewards, j its are the common natural physical laws. This resolves Itself again Into a question dif-: feilng philosophically, but practically and) substantially the same: Js there a personal i (Jod ? Iioes he excise a government, over men as distinguished from government over } the astronomical world ? and is that government otic that in variably punishes and re-| wards men according as they obey and dis-; obey the grent moral laws of their be-j ing"? The controversy is as old, I suppose, as i ttie human family. It has never known a| vacation. It is ns rife to-<lay as It was one thousand, two thousand, IIve thousand years ago. Js there any reason why a man should maintain Integrity, moral purity ? As it re-! cards human society, Is the government 01 God In favor of moral Intoirrity ? or Is there a force In physical strength that can beat It down and overcome It? Is there any force in intellectual acutcncss and shrewdness that can evade moral law? Must, men be pood If: they will prosper and be happy ? or may a| man be bad any prosper and be happy?! These are the forms in which the question j comes up. A fHiperflcial outlook upon the course of things In time might lead men to think Unit! physical strength or Intellectual cunning was more Important than integrity: but a larger) induction, and a wiser inspection, will lead men to believe that the way of safety, of hap- j pincss and of honor Is the way of Hod; and,1 as the conclusion of all his observations and reasonings, he says. "Itis good for me to draw1 near to Uou. I have looked over the whole j flood of human life,and I have seen the; strong men, the rich men, and the so-called j happy men; I have heard their laughter and j measured their mirth; I liavo tested their| experience as they have cone 011 from time, to time, bCRinninc, middle and end, audi I have come to tills definite conclusion: that while at first 1 thought I sacrificed myself for] nothing,and that they had all the prosperity,: when I have cone all around the orb of observation, and come back again and looked upon It, I say, 'None of their ways. It is good for! me to draw near to God. I believe there Is a (Sod. I believe I10 has a government over men. I believe tlmt under that government integrity Is in the lon>i run,and comprehensively, the way of safety nnd of happiness, and that the contrary is the way of unsafely and disgrace.'" Now bear In mind that this is an utterance of aces aco, before philosophy was really bom,and that it is the practical result to which ic en have romc. How did they come to it? As you go back and look at the history of nations outside of Christianity andcivlli fofces have been physical and intellectual, and that the general tendency of society has not been parallel with moral law, but atrlght angles to It and running over It. In other words, tho general tendency of human experience In this life lias been that every man should take care of himself. It was thought that selfishness was the first law?benevolence was not known or believed In: that every man should seize what he could and hold on to what he had got; that a man should embrace every oppor.unity that was reasonable ii'id safe to fulfill the present, joy, nnd not give up anything In the present for the sake of something; better in the future. That selfdenial was a superstition has been the prevalent impression of men In the world. Now our of this stale there rose up, and sounded out as a saintly chant and song, here and there, coming down to us through the aces, in almost every literature?in thcOrli-ntal, in the Chinese, in the Indian, in the Greek ami in the Roman, as well as In the matchless Hebrew?the conviction that absolute purity and personal integrity were better than any low form of uassionatc success. Where did that conviclion come from? Itdid not become the general belief because men were not strongenough nor largo enough to take In the principle; hut the prophet took It in, the great universal heart took it in, the wise philosopher took it in, men like Socrates took It in. In other words, the inter|iretois that God sends above, among the nations of the earth, to gather up the maxims, proverbs, psalms, to express what has been the outworking of great experiences, saw this; and so there came down to us, noiably fiom the Old Testament history, the declaration that God has a government over physical tillnus. over social things, over civil things, over all things, and controls them for moral and splrttual ends. That becamea part of the accredited faith of tho religious men in the old dispensation, and of course it took on Its radlonl form in the new dispensation, under the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. It must have been, then, this conviction that gradually rose out of the discordant elements of human life. It must have been that tho wisest, clearest and be^t men saw that, in spite of all deception, Kuiscsnnd appearances, at the bottom there was a divine government that worked in favor of intesrltv, morality ' ... i.? .11..I.,., Aii It W l lm : outcome of experience, il comes to many of j us with greater assurance that if it had been j merely a voice testifying to that fact without j any experience, though the voice came from j heaven. On the whole, then, safety, prosperity and success in this life depend on obedience to God. This is true In regard to personal attains J and to enjoyment. A mail thai maintains virtue and observes tlie laws of God as tncy stand related to physics will get tnore out of ills machine of life In the shape of enjoyment; than the man that gives a loose rein to his < passions, and cares for nothing but to-day.' That is scarcely any lon-crdoubted. Il is; taught in our common schools, in our newspa- j pcrs, everywhere, that deception and iminor-j allty arc bankruptcy in the long run. Js'ow, in every regulated community there' Is the general impression that happiness j springs from health; and there arc very few sources of happiness that arc not made hap-j pier by the fact that we approach perfect health. Perfect health is almost universal I enjoymen t. It has become to be believed, also, that the divine government works, in social relations, I trust of man in inan, fidelity of man to man, affection between one and another. It Is wry well understood that this is the law of God. I A quarrelsome pcrson.au envious person, a j disintegrating nature, does not believe that there is a moral government which works In- j to society as between man and man, until he ! comes to grief; butts now so generally known i that it has become A common maxim, and men seek to sweeten the social relations of life on the faith that there is a divine governmcnt which makes that man happiest who is truest to social obligations. There arc a great many, however, who believe that in our struggles lor wealth, for honor, for preferment, it Is not so certain that a man shoiild follow moral obligation; and that the longest calculation.'the shrewdest perception, the cleverest hand, and the most! deft and unscrupulous methods of life are the I better ways to build men up In ambition, in j wealth, in honorable distinction. Men point) to this or that man, and say, "lie never could I have got to that eminence if he had not had | capacity to creep through a very small hole? i and he was a small man when lie got through ' It. That man?there is hardly an honest| t rim si Linn In bis life which was not enforced bo tliut he could not help himself. That man ?lie lias been a liar froni the beginning, livery man that knows him knows he is deceitful; and yet, see, he is prosperous." Society is full of the same ratiocination which took place in the mind of thoPsalmist when he) said, "These are the men that prosper In the world; these are the men that have no scru-i pies or conscientiousness. Their eyes stand out with fatness; they have more than heart could wish. I'rlde is like a golden chain to them, and violence Is as a purple garment. They are clothed with faults, and yet, see. they prosper." Now,as against every such case,I say, without going into any analysis of it?and it is capable of analysis?that I think experience shows that bad men, who prosper, prosper by that which is good in them, and not by that! which is bad; and that at every step of hindrance and overthrow in their career it was! not integrity that was in their way, but corruption ; that there is an inscription of success to men who are wicked that is founded falsely; that they are prosperous not because they are wicked, but in spite of their wickedness; that their wickedness is a drag, a limitation and a hindrance to them. I think, however, that If you take the averages it will be found that the men that have the best wealth, that have the soundest prosperity, that get the most Joy out of it, that last tho longest, and that are the most valued by their fellows in society, are. after all, the men that come closest to the divine integrities, and maintain truth, honesty, honor, fidelity and general purity. Taking society as it rises, the class that despise these arc at the bottom, 11 rst or ,'ast. If in society you can find any section that represents pre-eminently the moral elements, I do not care where you find them, I shall predict that they are the most prospered in worldly things. Taking our friends, the Quakers, as a community, they are the most temperate, the best governed, the most honest and truthful, the most Industrious and frugal of any class. In no other denomination oil the globe can you tind so much worldly prosperity, man for man,as among them, t do not say that they repre sent the highest spiritual elements in society. They did once: but I fear I can scarcely say that they do now. Yet, certainly, so tar as trust of men, and universal respect,and so far as tills world is concerned, they are men that represent the closest adhesion to the law of God in the struggle for wealth and personal comlort; and we see what the result Is. I believe, myself, that if men who arc seeking public honors were true to themselves, and were content with that position which j Just measures their strength, and maintained 1 the utmost purity not alone of the hands tint I ..I I_ ... ?|1 truth find I UIDU III J I'M"" Ml 4111 l|UtMUVUn UMv. | honor and fidelity, many men would not rise high for a Utile tlinc, and are like bubbles that come to tlie surface, glow, break and are gono. lie whom we all lament was a man who put I to proof this great truth. I believe that Mr, I Garfield from his boyhood had a very high I moral ideal; that under circumstances where temptations are usually as serere as anywhere else ho substantially maintained that Ideal, and squared his life by It, and rose from.' the very lowest stations of poverty, step b; step, and gained and held the admiration ami confidence of his fellow-citizens, not by any cunning ways, but by the faith that he had In great moral canons; and It was believed by the whole nation that he was a pure, honest and honorable man ; that he had neither bartered nor sold himself, nor given himself In j any way to deceit. It was the opinion of foreign landB that he presented the orb unspot-1 ted of a great and good life; that he was a good man who mode the whole world weep! and bow down belore his sepulcher. Over1 against a thousand of tho petty politicians that pimple our affairs all over. I set tho Illustrious example of this sainted martyr, who earned every Htep, not by craft, nor by cunning, nor by tergiversation, nor by bargaining, nor by corruption, but by solid knowledge of manly conduct; by sterling integrity; and he could liave said with his dying breath, "It has been good for me that I have drawn near to God." The populnr conviction to the contrary Is the result of hasty gcnerall/.ntIon. Ther6 are very few, especially of those that arc beginning the race or life, that either care to reason or are able to reason on tills matter, i They look out, and that which they see Just over against them they take to be true, or an index of the truth. If, therefore, there Is in any community a oau ricn mini, mt-j *?.v,i "well, ii man nmst not be tooHcrupulouN if he Is going to be rich." If they see a man j that 1h successful momentarily, and know him to be knavish on occasions, their hasty generalization is, "There is no use of Lelft:i I too clean handed. If you arc going ^prosper among people you must recollect that there arc all sorts of folks, and you have get; to be all things to all men." Now, if you go back In the path of history, I do not think that thcro ever has been In the United States of America one single public man whose name has been honored and revered, and whose prosperity has bccomo preeminent,of whom it will not be found that In Ills life he endeavored scrupulously to govern himself by the highest standards of morality ind of honor. The men who have 6ucceedcd In life have not been crafty men. Men have aeen crafty and have prospered for an hour or x day; but I go further and say that generally -he men who have had the most property nave not been men that amassed It by cunning or fraud. Though there may be here nnd here a man who, by a dishonest stroke, has jalned much, he has lost more in t tie public . lentiment. Taking the accumulation of vealth throughout the whole country,generaJon by generation, it Is the pure hand that jathers it and the dirty hand that loses. Take very single part or human society, and J ,hlnk upon a large inspection and generall/.a- j ion of facts it will be found that It Is good for ucu lii ovcry walk of llfo to tread, so near to . ? ioil ns to be govc-med by his laws. All sne ess Is illusory, is transient, Is accompanied ,vlth such compensation, such remuneration >t punishment, ns to make it nnwortli any nan's while, whieh is (tallied h.v following me's own ?ood at tho expense oi' tho divine f xnnmands and laws. I We want,of course, faith in tho exl.st.eneeof v personal liod on the side of selenee; hut the Hlth that we want more than any other Is luith in the procnee of God in It is moral law under nil the exigencies of every day life. A I'oung limn wants to know that lalsehood Is tils sworn enemy. He wants to know that he Is betrayed when he betrays. He <vnnts to know that While for n brief season falsehood J may seem to carry liiin up, yet, after all. the { only safe course for one Is that of from day to f ilny saying, "Thou. (?od, seest me." What Is t right and what is wrong is the best guiding principle for a young man's life; for, llrst or t last, every breach of the moral law is a stitch t let down, and a hole. Kvery violation, first or last, makes itself felt. JSui if men that | come to grief at thirty-live or forty only had ,] an angel to carry them back and let tliein see i i where tlil? thing began, and why it was that. \y men were thus over against them, and why it I ^ was that theli* foil tula I ions were twitched ] t from under thetn, and why it Was that they beaan to lapse and rould not regain themselves. I till 11 k it. woniil he found thai, the outcome In the end resulted from violations of. moral canons far back. Men are Weakened by the things that.strengthen them; strengthened to-dav and weakened to-morrow. Hut there arc other reasons than these. Not simply Is it good to draw near to (>od by faith . in ail the moral laws under hl< government,'' but It Is good to draw near to God personally |, ?to draw near to him as one would draw near ' to his physician, to lils accredited lawyer, to | his fattier, to his best, loved friend. Conscious [ companionship with God is one of the irreat- i est blessings that a man can attain. There area great ninny things that men read in the : book* and desire. I should be glad of some , visions that saints have had; I would have ; been very glad to have had such rapturous | experiences us I find detailed In the lives of eminent. Christian men; but, after all, those were Sunday clothes. That, which I need more Is good every day weal'. I can see that, the greatest gift that can be ulven to a man is the feWinz that (iod is on his side every single day; that he is, and that he is not only Hie > ] Itewarderof those that seek him but si loving Father, and rewards as a father rewards his his son; so that, whatever his condition or , experience, he Is conscious every day, "(iod loves me, ami knows me altogether; why should I be disturbed?" I know that there are a great many persons who have a constitution and temperament which worries them. They heat, the machines heat, and they work with diiliculty. There are men who say, "Well. I am made so. I cannot help feeling anxious, and worrying." You don't help it, you mean. You say that you cannot as an excuse for not trylnc. One of the greatest comforts In I lie is to have such a senscof the presence of God, and of the administration of his love toward you, that you can say every mot nine, i uiuu winu wiii, u im mi n^m. it Is very easy for a man to say Unit when ev ery thing Is going just as he wants it to; but suppose that things are going on beautifully | with a man, and tliorc comes in bankrnptcy. hu?1 knocks everything out from under lilin. ami bis pride is niortllied, ami ills family arc dietresscd: can lie stand up then, and sav, "It is {rood for me to draw near to God ?"' It is the only tiling that, will stand by a man. or < that can comfort, him, when lie is suddenly overwhelmed in this way. If a nian says. "I am a creature of time, and that has broken all my plans." and stands by God, and hears him say, "Ob. my son. a man's life con?lsteth not In the abundance of tho things which lie posscsscth; what have you lost? You have mc," be will have 110 1 rouble. Where a man has a blight upon his nnme, who knows what a man is so well as (Soil ? And if he is eontent. if God is for him, who can be against him? What if a man is driven down to poverty and limitation; and bis crust. Is hard, anil tlie sources of his blessings are few; what then? If he pays. "I am heir, joint, heir with JesnsChrist, to the Inheritance of God himself; life is lint n minute; elernlly is my real life, and God is my best friend. Ill whose hands are every law, and all providence, and all events; ami if he thinks it he?t for my 11nal good that I should he swept away, why, It. Is best, for my good, and I hless his name,and : accept It," then he Is moving In the rltrlit direction. If a man has not a God to trust with his attains. If a man Is merely a Christian, that perforins all the ritualistic duties of a religions life and supports the Institutions of I the Gospel in order to bo saved when bo dies, that Is one tiling, and It is not. a verv bad tiling either; but. it is quite a dltlerent. thing to live feeling that Ciod Is at every single step all power, all wisdom, all goodness, all love to yon. that he is yours, and that yon arc absolutely bis. There nre moments In human relations! when consciousness of the love of One great- j or tlinn we, deeper, sweeter, is ineffable pleasure; but who cjin measure llie bounty.the beauty, the sweetness, the clory, the tenderness. tlie gentleness nf God, andnf Ills love? and If one may stand In the midst of that In all the fluctuations of human affairs, he Is supremely hlost, because he i? armed against every possible contlneency. If he goes up. It Is because find wants him' topoup: and If he poes down, it is because Ciod wants him to go down. When a disciplined army is brought- before a fort thai Is to he stormed, there is competition between the companies as to who shall be sent. They all want to po. When forlorn hopes are called for to storm a breach a hundred men are ready where one man Is wanted. Whole compar.ics Koni' tlmes come out when only ten men are needed. And if. in that lower sphere, and under the enthusiasm of military organization, such feellnps are manifested, how much more ave they manifested where a man abides In the conscious presence of (Jod. and is hid under the shadow of Ills winps; where God Is liisStnr.hls Sun, his Light, by night and by midnight. If a man is In that relation to God, what enterprises can stand In his way? God says, "My chi'd. I desire a witness." The man snys, "Lord, hero am I." "I desire thee to po lo the summit of prosperity and power, and stand there an efiulpent Christian." "Willingly," snys the man, "willingly." Alt! he is one of ( the apostles that wanted to sit down at the rlsht hand of God. Christ said to them. "Can you drink of my cup, and endure my baptism?" "Von. T/ord." They did not know anything about It. Many a Derson wants to co to the summit of power in tills world to illustrate how a Christian can lie a Christian with everything as he wants It. It is a hard task, and yet there are some men called to it. We think I hey are Ihemost blessed. Ilvnml bv weshall see whether thev arc or not. We cannot tell in this life. Another one snys. "Lord, here am T. Thou dldstscnd for servants, ami Tam ready." The T/ord snys to him, "I want-11 tee to go home, and lose the color of thy cheek, and walk In weakness where before von trod In strength ; T want you to stand months nnd years, leitine every one of the visions of your li'e melt and pass away: and I want you at last to lie down upon the bed of sickness nnd in thy pride submit to be helped and lie useless. I want some one to do flint forme." llow many of you, hearing that, would spring up and say, "Lord, try me?" Whatever may be the exigency of divine providence, God knows what it is, and wherever he puts you lie puts you there on pur pose, and whatever experience you do not uir derstand now lie snys you shall understand by and by; hereafter. 1 preach to you not alone out of my faith In the word of God, but. out of my own deepest existence, when I say that It isgood in times or joy, nnd even better In times of sorrow, to draw near unto God. lie is a stronghold. ile is a tower. He Is the shadow or n great rock In a weary, sultry summer. He Is a shield nnd a buckler. Xo good thing will lie withhold from those that fear him. His love is more thnn all possession, more than all honor, more thnn alienee. It Is everything, and It brings everything. Trust In God. I)o not give up your fnther's faith in God. Do not worry nor fret yourself if you haveaflrm faith. Hold on to God,and everything will ultimately coine right. If you do not know it here, It will be revealed to you In theglory of your Futlier'? kingdom. The Artotype. ANEW and beautiful engraving, f'oples from flue steel engravings.
