The most of our planters have their crops i

From the best Information obtained by this i
scribe, but lew oats have been as yet sown, <
there is. jhuwever, a greater demand for seed
wheat than there has been for several years, i
which shows that there is at least in some a
returning sense of the importance of raising i
more bread stufls. This is indeed and truly
a day hard times, we hear the cry at ail
times, and everywhere. During Ihe past
month leins, bank notes, guano notes, &e., I
having become due, many oi the planters i
were obliged to put ihclr short crop of cotton i
upon the market, and take a price below the j
cost of production, the demands against
them have not been fully met, even when, as i
in some Instances, tliev have also given up i
their stock. What Is to be the outcome, no <

V. Kmart.
Whereas, Id the providence of God, our beloved
pastor, Rev. H. C. Smart, has been called
from the church militant to the church
triumphant; and
Whereas, It is the desire of the congregation
of Buffalo Baptist church, to whom he ministered
for more than three years, to record
their appreciation of his services and worth
as a Christian minister. Therefore be it resolved
1. That in the death of the Rev. H. C. Smart
the Baptist church at large nnd especially
congregation and community, have sustained
a loss of one of their most useful and earnest
ministers, whose place will be hard to fill.
2. That we tender our deepest sympathy to
the family of our deceased brother and commend
them to the God whom he served so
lalthfully for comfort In this bereavement. 3.
That these resolutions be recorded in the
minute book of this church, Baptist Courier,
and one of our county papers and t hat a copy
be sent bis family.

; used to be ourconstant companion, we
: dare not visit our gardens without it,
we took it in our canoes, and carried it
on our journeys, we slept with it by
I our sides, ar d took our meals with it
1 at hand ; butnow,' holding up a copy
, ot tne uospeis, 'we can 9ieep souDaiy
, because of this, and this book has
brought us peace and protection, and
. we have no longer need for the spear
i and the club." Under the influence
and teaching of God's Word I have
seen murderers and cannibals become
men of peace, I have seen the > shameless
thief and robber become honest, I
have seen the lascivious and filthy live
a chaste and pure life, I have seen the
quarrelsome and selfish become kind
and generous; but I have never heard
of such results from any human agency,
nor from any other than that
Word, the entrance of which giveth
light, and the reception of which is
the power of God unto salvation."?

IIoiv to Keep Your Temper.
Ruskin in a letter to young girls
says: "Receive the thing that is provoking
or disagreeable to you, as coming
directly from Christ's hand; and
the more it is like to provoke you,
thank him for it the more, as a young
soldier would his general for trusting
him with a hard place to hold on the
rampart. And remember that it does
not in the least matter what happens
to you?whether a clumsy school-fel
low tears your oress or a snrewa one
laughs at you, or the teacher doesn't
understand you. The one thing that
does matter "is that none of these things
should vex you.
"Say to yourself eachjmorning, j st
after your prayers, 'Whoso forsaketli
not all that be hath cannot be my disciple.'
This is exactly and completely
true, meaning that you are to give all
you have to Christ to take care of it
for you. Then if he doesen't take care
of it, of course you know it wasn't
worth anything. If he takes anything
from you, you know you are
better without it.
You will not, indeed, have to give
up houses and lands, or boats or nets;
but you may, perhaps, break your favorite
tea-cup or lose your favorite
thimble, and might be vexed about It,
but for this second Saint George's precept."?Se'ected.
Golden Saying of Jesus.?Love
your enemies.
I am the light of the world.
Do not your alms before men.
Take no thought for your life.
Thy faith hath saved thee: go in
peace. 1
Re of irood cheer, thv sins be for
given thee.
Blesscl are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do.
I came not to call the righteous but
sinners to repentance.
If the world hate you ye know that
it hated me before it hated you,
Whosever will be chief among you
let him be your servant.
Let not your heart betrouble: ye believed
in God believe also in me.
Come unto me all ye lhat labor and
are heavy laden and I will give you
rest.
?
When and What to Read.?If
you are impatient, sit down quietly
and have a talk with Job.
If you are just a little strong-headed
go to see Moses.
If vou nre cettinjr weak-kneed, take
a look at Elijah.
If there is no song in your heart,listen
to David.
If you are a policy man read Daniel.
If you are getting sordid spend
awhile with Isaiah.
If your faith is below par read
Paul.
Jf you are getting lazy watch
James.
If you are losing sight of the future
climb up' io Revelation and get aj
glimpse of the promise land.?Bible'
Heading.
Visit from house to house and remember
that ittake-i as much jrrace io
make a pastoral visit as it doe* to
preach. A certain preparation is necessary
to preach, and so it is with |
pastoral visiting.?Bishop Heudrix.
