. Extracts from Christian Neighbor Truthtalneu of Children. By nature children are uot truthful. Here aud there may be found one that inherits a rugged houesty from some / ancestor long since gone to dust?these will "tell the truth" under all circum/ stances, in spite of the fear of punish/ ment, in spite of the loss of approba. / tion which is commonly so dear to the / childish heart. There is withiu them / that inborn love of integrity, so great, so good a gift, that it seems, almost directlv from God. Children with so blessed a heritage are saved from shame in later years in that they have Ino remembrance of departures from accurate statements of facts. To how few children is this good gift made! The majority of young people, however, frequently fail to "tell the truth," >nH nanallv f/vp fha carina rpacnnfl?a fear of punishment, the love of appro?; - batioa, and the indulgence of an imagination which they are yet too inexperienced to understand or attempt to control. In their earliest years children depend wholly on the adults about them for their education in truth telling. If these adults think it as ' reprehensible to break a dish or tear a dress as to practice deception either by word or act, and punish accordingly ; ?if they lay blame indiscriminately on the innocent and the guilty; if ^ these make no allowance for youthful g imagination?then we cannot wonder I that children undsr these influences I are untruthful. Improper "allow' ance" understand, we do not mean. i Do not punish the child because he fails to see things as they are. This is impossible to some children. Children love praise as the flowers love sunshine?they live in the approving smiles of those about them. To lose this approbation even for a short time ? ? i? A.I nni) Affon.l ! VWJT pUIIilUl IAJ Hitui, auu viwu times to avoid this calamity they use evasion or other forms of deception. Of course excessive love of approba_ tion is a real weakness, and in an adult a very serious fault often leading to sin. Is not the highest kind of truthfulness that into which one educates oneself? Children do not recognize the tur pitude of tying. As they grow older Hb however, they begin to see through a glassclittle less darkly; they begin to appreciate integrity of speech as,fellas of action; they remember j?#!r failures in this particular, they f determine to conform their lives to a ft better standard, and. working alone so ifer-' Ikr as human help is considered, they m' drill themselves by a newly awakened !, consciousness or conscieDciousness ' into men of upright minds and perfect integrity of speech. This is the highestand hardest won, and will receive a speoial reward. KEptvi* The Catechism. More and more are we strengthened in tho belief that the catechism, the ' oral then the written, should be the I first, the second and the third thing taught to our children. Next to the V Bible let the catechism come in before 1 any other book or paper. If we would ^ I have the adult members of the Church v . to be*usieadfast, unmovable"?"strong Bjj& in the Lord and in the power of his 9B& might," they must in their youth be taught, "line upon line and precept a. it ...i i - upuu prwepb," uutui iuc vruiu ui wc Lord. By catechism we mean a series of 4, < . . 5, or 6 as may be required to give a ' compendium of all toe doctrines and ? duties of the Christian religion. Teachers who teacli children or adults these catechims do a greater work for the learners than any college president or professor who may teach the scienoes or the languages living or dead. What the world, including the mm, church, needs, is the entrance of the word of Qod into the mind, for that word in the mind is the medium ? through which the 8ptrit_enters the heart. SSrt: , .4?? Stat* Clothing for School Children. jr- The Fall River Superintendent of ? Schools in his annual report argues gravely that the State or city should wTMmrllr rlnthinp- for school children.

On the same line children need bread and something to go with it. ~"\ "Free schools" whether in college or 1^. "old field" schools and State appropria^^wvtion.of money to sectarian schools- or institutions are unjust and a drawback g?_- - to manly education. That superintendent doubtless has a good "taxeating" salary. At the first meeting of the recent Southern Baptist Convention in Rich' mond there were 754 delegates present. Dr. James Boyce, of Louisville, was elected President. Alabama sent 26 delegates; Arkansas, 28; District of Columbia, 12; Florida, 5; Georgia. 36; Iudian Territory, 1; Kentucky, 63; Louisiana, 9; Maryland, 44; Mississippi, 12; Missouri, 68; ^ North Carolina, 104; South Carolina, ^^^.100: Tennessee, 19-: Texas, 52; VirHnf ginia, 169. James A. Hoyt, editor of the Baptist Courier, and W. C. LindWBB aay, pastor of the Baptist church in 8nS Columbia, were among the delegates MS^^from South Carolina. WGNhB Forty-three of the clerical delegates HwB^Hfrom Sooth Carolina had their exHnHpenses paid by the churches which l^^^^^thev severally reDresented. The District of Columbia wants repIP reseatation in both houses of Congress, W and an amendment of the Constitu9 tion for this purpose has been introf duced in the United States Senate. It is now an anomaly, being directly under the central government. The complaint of Dr. Woodrow before the Presbyterian General Assemt bly, Baltimore, May 26, was not susl tained.

General BWHHimMBBHIilKfiflBBSBte. union The Distinction Between an Arniy and a Police Force. To preceiveclearly the difference between an army and a police force, it may be well to see what war is, looking at it through the eyes of the best and most eminent French writer on morals, now living, a man who condemns dueling, although he lives in a society that applauds it. In "Elements of Morals," p. 60, 61, edition of 1884, Paul Jannet writes, "War is the most serious and the most solemn exception to the law which forbids homicide. Not only does it permit homicide, but it comands it. The means thereto are, prepared in public, the art of practicing them is a branch of education, and it is glorious to destroy as many enemies as possible." Here is a direct and unequivocal atobmnnt nf the nnrnnsp of an armv. Its very object is homicide, killing men; it not only does this incidentally but by command. Officers and soldiers are brought together, educated, drilled to implicit obedience and to common action, and supplied with weapons of all sorts, for attaining the highest success in killing men; and it is their glory to kill as many men as possible, so long as an opposing force. On the contrary7 the very end for which a police force exists, is the protection of the rights of property, person and life. The arrest of a criminal is an act of benevolence to him, and to the community. It stops his career of violence or other wrong doing against peaceful citizens; it subjects him to deliberate and just trial, it brings him to deserved punishment by fine or imprisonment, or both. It intensifies his sense of guilt: it gives him the opportunity to amend it; it deters others from like courses. Even though arm ed with deadly weapons, aconstaoieor police officer is forbidden to use them except under extreme circumstances, and then not with intent to kill, but to disable an offender. It is a disgrace to a policeman to kill one whom he is endeavoring to arrest. He is liable to prosecution for it, and unless urgent necessity for the act is shown, he issubjected to imprisonment for it. Moreover, the offender knows that in attacking an officer he is resisting the ordinance of God, as represented by the law; and that his attempt on the life of the officer is absolutely without moral excuse. Officers and men of the regular army are very unwilling to perform police or constable duty, they object that it is not their business (in this they are right according to Jannet,) and if obliged to take part, devolve it upon the scouts and irregulars, if they may. They deem their business war, homicide, not arresting horse thieves or murderers. A man of peace, therefore, may serve on a police force when he would be quite unwilling to be trained and armed for the very object of being effective in destroysng men?The American Arbitrator. Atlanta, Ga., has tried high license for four months. The Journal of that city has complied a table from the police record showing the comparative arrests during four months of local option and four months of license. Thie table shows an increase in fourmonths of high license from 273 arrests to 818. Mrs. Cleaeland, the wife of the President, has some very good-oldfashioned ideas about Sabbath. On that day she does everything in her power to lessen the work of the servants. There are certain things that virtue won't mix with; ingratitude is one of them. R. M.

Sinclair and James Anderson and purchased by mo in tlie year 1856, and from that time till now carried on successfully by myself. My friends and customers will bear witness of the large and stupendous jobs executed by me. It was at my works where the largest and almost only job of its class ever executed In this city was done viz.: the making of the pipes for the City Water Works in the year 1808. My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTURAL WORK, COLUMNS for Store fronts, is large and various, and in RAILINGS for Balconies, Gardens, and Cemeteries I have the largest variety and most modem patterns; many of these are patented and I have purchased the right for this State. In the machine line I can furnish my patrons with STEAM ENGINES and BOILERS of any size and description. My CIRCULAR SAW MILLS have carried off theprlzeat every State Fair held in this city, and in their construction I have taken pains to combine simplicity with the most useful modern Improvements, and may flatter myself that my CIRCULAR SAW MILLS find favor with every sawyir who understands his business. The manv orders I am steadily receiving for SUGAR CAN& MILLS prove that the public appreciate the mills of my make, and so it Is with my GEARING for HORSE POWERS. GIN WHEELS. GRIST MILLS-and other MACHINERY. I have the manufacturing rights of many PATENTS such as castings for COTTON AND HAT PRESSES, HAWLEY CORN SHELLER and three or four FEED CUTTERS and other implements. I will be pleased to send my circulars to any applicant, together with price list or estimate.
