Some of (he Originators oi this Deplorable System Jlnj Have to Take Some of Their Own .lleilicine. \\e do not know what. orders have been given by railrouU officials to Iheir employees, out we do know that one ? ! the oldest, and most efficient men employed by the Carolina Midt laud Kail road w as Uncharged a lew days after the Murnwill campaign meeting. This gentleman was a strong iriend of Governor TiIII man, and it is said lor thai reason lie was dis[ charged.?Correspondent Columbia Register. If any such orders, as are spoken of above, have been issued we do not know it. We cannot believe that the railroads have done so, although they may have discriminated between friends and enemies. Thev mav have lollowed an example which I lias beeu set a thousand limes by the Tiiimanltes. but we do not believe It. We are utterly and absolutely opposed to the boycot as un-American and violative not only of our rights as citizens, but such action Is violative of the Statutes of the Slate of South Carolina. Boycotters, however, like Tillir.an, do not always love their own medicine. For three years the people ol the towns, the merchants and all coiporatlons have protested against the boycot, a>.d have sought to restore a uufcty of teeling. Zealous Tiiimanltes. It seems to us, have even pressed the matter so lar it* their own behall that they are not willing for any Tillmanite lo lose his situation on the railroads which Tillman and his crowd are opeuly and avowedly making effort to extort a taxation which is believed lo be unjust, unequal, and equivalent to confiscation. in consequence or the stagnation in business which may have resulted from the war against capital, and which has beeu so long going 011, the business and travel of the country have been greatly reduced. In coDse quence of that reduction ol business mauy trains have been taken oil' the roads and many mechanics hate been dismissed Irom their shops. Perhaps the loree on the railroads In .south Carolina has been reduced, iu all, to a number about five hundred less than was employed a year or more ago. In the general chapter ol accidents, it Is fair to pre sume that the official axe would occasionally tail on a Tlllniauite's shoulders. I'p to ihis tln.e, out of all that have lost their places, we have recognized but two distinct howls fiom Tiiimanltes. Governor Tillman promptly rewarded the first by an appointment, auu we presume that he will take care of his ''strong friend" in Barnwell. Governor Tillman is an avowed boybo'ter. as he, not so very long ago, declared that lie would givenoantl any official appointment, or words to that effect. 11 the railroads, then, should discriminate 4r\ /\f ? ?W.1 ^ f i-UtnHw ob 1.1.1 LL-^M flioir opeu and avowed enemies, they tiave Governor Tillman's example. As loyalty to "the administration" is a llrst requisite to ofllclal appointment, no loyalty to the best Interest of Hie railroads might be made a test. The railroads have plenty ot Irlends, and all else being equal, they will likely give places to their friends, and alter their mends have received appointment, they wili extend their remaining favors to those who are seeking to ruin them. Let us come close home and cite an instance: We have in Abbeville perhaps the oldest railroad man in the State. About two years ago, because of sickness and the lnflrm. ltlesof age, he was unable longer to hold the throttle and run his train. He went to bed, and has been there, or about his house, ever since. He was faiihftil and true to his employers lor nearly hail a century. In recogni. Hon of his fidelity and efficient service, his name is now on the pay roll ol the company, although he h?s done 110 work in u long time. The company hxs done a handsome thing lor l. h notable anu worthy employee. I Now, we submit, if any man on H>e Abbeville Branch should vote against the railroad, and in lavor of its avowed enemies, that he would be subject to the charge of Ingratitude for favors shown to their old and honored fellow workmen, and we further submit, when a reduction of force be needed, that the company would not be to blame If it kept In Its employ the faithful man and let lis enemy go Therels not a farmer in Abbeville county, if lie had to choose between a faithful laborer nod an enemy, who would not give place to the faithful man. Self-preservation Is the first law of nature, and when men array ! themselves against others they may expect to jeceive knock*. We would urge upon our people the folly of Keeping up this fight against capital, and we would protest against a practice, which, It , kept up, will work ti great hardship lo the poorer clat?t&?the classes who most need credit. Men vv lth money tenetally tiud some way to get along, and they are public benefac- ' tors when they lend it out at reasonable rates, 1 to their neighbors?ami they will always lend it lo those in whom they nave confidence. To destroy confidence In the credit of the f>oor m;in is lo do him the greatest possible larrn, and lis Influence ri-acls and injures the prosperity of the country. Suppose that those who are now makiug war on that which they most need, should continue the disastrous fluht. The credit of il?ou>auda will be so impaired that they will find it next to an impossibility to borrow mouej . As a natural result, the hanks, like other buslness firms, will first accommodate their < friendi*. and will afterwards accommodate 7 their avowed enemies to whatever they can. " \ in like manner, the wuriare will create dlfc(ruKt in the minds ot tlie meretiaut, and tie in turn will select his customers from his irlends, and will, as a matter of (act, look alter his enemies only wlien he has provided lor his friends. The sooner peace and harmony is restored to this country, the belter li will he lor allot us. I',lit if Ihe tight Is to lie kept up.no one can tell where it will end. in our opinion, il will not. In* lotii! before the Imvcoiters will have lo take some of theirowii medicine. We .should nut, therefore. be surjiriscd If results should bo brought about: 1. As the railroad force is reduced, the enemies of the loads will lose their places, I 2. If new places are to be filled, that no enemy of I be ro-ids need apply. u. In lending money, tin- banks may first, n? a rule, accommodate their iriends, and, later on, if tiiey have ibe money, accommodate their enemies. i. Merchants will be more exacting in requiring security for their good*. and may be tillable to accommodate any great number of their enemies. Of course we do not expect that tangible evidence of this rule of action could be furnished, but we all know that men naturally tiuve more conlidence in their friends than fliey have in their enemies, and we all know tiiat we are more Inclined to accommodate our friends. It must be a most humiliating spectacle for a man who is lighting National banks logo to a National batik to ask favors, and no sellrespecting citizen should go to a bank for accommodation at whose very existence lie is lighting, nnu we wouiu not ivnsure me uuim if it had no money on hand, or simply declined to let its enemy liave it. When people go to war tliey must expect to receive knocks. Therefore, for the good of us all, let us stop this evil thinking, this evil speaking, tins evil doing. There is neither good sense, good business or good policy in it. Flection of Trial JttMliccM.

If it be your hope or expectation of living on this earth until next Winter there are two things which should be attended to at mice. First?The surlHce water that has found its way into your well, should be drawn oil' irn -dlaU'ly. Second?If you have drawn oil the water, you have a reasonable expectation of living until next Winter,and in thateveut you win need tin nips. Prepare the ground now, and sow tin; seed at the right time. But it you do not draw tlie water out of your well It is not at all certain that yon will heed the turnips, and we have 110 advise to give as 10 planting them. Typhoid fever Is n filth disease and never goes anywhere uninvited, and those persons who drink water from wells that have become cesspools will have the lever, no matter whether they live on the mountain peaks or in the swamps of the valley. Everybody talks of malaria in the air, but the fact is that nine-times out of ten, we drink the poison in our water, or else we breathe the seeds of disease that are sent up by the slops that are thrown out of the kitchen window. Don't \Inlatethe laws of health and get sick as a natural consequence, and then, with Pharisaical hypocrisy, talk about the mysterious dispensations ot divine providence. Let no ignorant preacher talk of the mysterious dispensation of providence when the young man or the young woman has been stricken down by fever which, perhaps by the aid of doctor's arts, has taken the victim to his grave. Providence has no more do with a inau's death from typhoid fever than He has to do with a man getting in range of a londed gun, or in receiving the ball from a loaded pistol. Pestilence may occasionally stalk abroad in the noonday, but disease and death ever lurks in the well that has received surface water or which drains the tilth spots and sink holes in the neighborhood. This is an age of reason and common sense. The superstition of the dark ages that led us to lay the blame of premature death to the action of the Almighty has given place to intelligence and we live iu the light of day. We know with unerring certainty that violations of the laws of health will bring pain and sutl'ering and premature death. The laws of Nature are Inexorable and she wilt punish with an unrelenting hand. While tlie Almighty in his infinite goodness and In his surpassing inercy, has promised forgiveness to such of us hs repentof our spiritual sins, yet Nature has made no sucli promise to those who sin against her laws, and in 110 ease has she excused a single violation of the laws of health. For slight indis retlon she does not always punish with Immediate pain or death. But 1 he debt is charged, and must Rooner or later be paid by suffering or by a forfeiture of life Itself. FLOWERS AND LITTLE GIRLS A Bachelor Editor's Pathway Literal* ly .Strewn With Flower.*. A lien t the Ill-humored things with which one in eels in Ihe ordinary affairs of life, this editor may be excused for reciting a little incident that liuH been of inlinite pleasure to him. On our return, after nn absence for a little side ol our door, some of Nature's brightest flowers, and as we entered the door, we realized that some one had literally strewn our pathway Willi flowers. Upon enquiry we were told that, little girls had been there, but as to who they were we have had no intimation. The flowers remained in their place until 1 they had withered and were dried up, but at each aud every passage In or out of that door 1 they added pleasure and turned our thoughts from darkness and gloom to the brighter lu- ' ture, and it may be. i.ispired the recipient of their little gilt with new hopes and higher aims. While the flowers were ordinary samples ' of their kind, and in themselves of nointrin- 1 sic value, yet the act of those sweet little girls surpassed in eloquence and pathos,? and came nearer to the heart?than could the most magnificent display of the most beautiful of all ol Nature's pretty gifts. The dried flowers have been removed from I sight?they were then only dried leaves?but the fragrance of that little act by those artless little children, Is like sweet Incense, directing 1 the mind and heart to Him who has been likened uuto the Rose of Sharon and the LUy ol the Valley. ' HENEY GRADY'S ADVICE. Whnt lie Nh}h About I?rlnkinjr, (iambi ?niff and .Marrying. The following letter of the lamented Henry Grady to his young friend, Clark Howell, on ins I)irum;ij win ma ucwutwi pii. "My son will be Just about your ago when you are just about mine, and I have got to looking at you a? a sort of prefiguring of what my son may be. ami ol looking over you and rejoicing in your success. Let me write to you what I would be willing for you to write to him. Sever gamble. Of all the vices that en thrall men this is the worst, the strongest and the most insidious. Outside of the morality of it, it is the poorest investment, the poorest business anil the poorest fun. No man is safe who plays at all. It is easier never to play. I never knew a man. a gentleman und a man of business, who did not regret the time and money be had wasted in it. A ' man who plays poker is unlit for every other business on earth. Never drink. I love liquor and I love the fellowship involved in drinking. My safety lias been that 1 never drink at all. It is much asier not to drink at all than to drink a little. If I Had to attribute what I have done in life to any one thing I should attribute It to the fact that I am a teetotaler. As sure as > ou are born, it is the pleasantest, the easiest and the safest way. Marry early. There is nothing that steadies a young fellow like marrying a good girl and raising a family. Hv marrying young your children grow up when they are a pleasure to you. You feel the responsibility of life, the sweetness of life, and you avoid bad 1'abits. If vnn riMV*?r ilrinlr riAvnr iriimhip niul mill* ry early, there is no limit to the nsetul and distinguished life you may live. You will be i he pride of your lather's heart and the Joy of your mother's. I don't know that there is any happiness on earth worth having outside of the happiness of knowing that you have done your duty, and tried to do good. You try to build up. I'here are always plenty others who will do ail the tearing down that is necessary. You try to live In the sun. Men who stay iu the shade always gel mildewed. WEDDING RECEPTION. Krv. 1*. It. Jackson and Wile Killertallied by their Friend*. Santa Ana, Cal., Evening Blade, June 'JD, 1KH2. Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the marriage of Uev. 1'. 15. Jackson and wife, and last evening at least two hundred of their friends met at Congregational Hall and sent for .Mr. and Mrs. Jackson to come and meet them there. At the door they were met by fourteen little girls, dressed in white, and proceeded to the altar to the inspiring music ol Mendelshon's wedding march,played by Mrs. ltngley, where they stood undera suberb wedding bell of white, roses, while Uev. J.S. I'itmau addressed them, explaining to them the use of the various pieces of tinware, and placing them under obligation to walk uprightly hereafter, laboring always for each other's happinessaud the good of mankind general-; ly. 1 *?r.it W U V-Stirrmrs. of th?

He siild .Mr. Jackson had given his life lor the I uplifting of the world, and was constantly I giving tliem new Ideas. As a token of the es- i teem ol his irU-ndsa tin can of gold, which was "gathered in tin," was presented hy him. Geo. K. Forrester followed with a solo on! the indispensnbiliiy of the chink. Mr. Jackson then thanked bis friends for; this honor done him and his wife in giving : them this receptiou. Mrs. J. G. Scarborough sang a beautiful solo i which everyone enjoyed. Congratulations to tlie Inide and groom j were then In order, nnd the receptiou was; turned Into an Informal gathering. Ketresh- j merits were served and all enjo>ed themselves. The reception was closed with a vocal duet] hy Misses Kernodle and Peadohy, "O wert thou in the cauld blast." Since taking charge of Hie Congregational Church ol tills place, one year ago. Mr. Jackson has doubled the membership and firmly Ingratiated hiuisell in the love ol his congre-1 gatlon and the |>eople of thin community, and bids fair lo do a still greater work In the luture than he has done in the past. THE SEVEN HILLS. ? narrinec- Bible Society ? Visitor* ? Dinner?Mr. Beliefs Attack 011 the PreNM and Banner?Anxiety to See tlie Paper. Lowndesvllle, S. C., July 13, lbf'2. Mr. W.C. Edwards, of Toecoa, Ga., registered at the H or ten house Saturday. Mr. J. K. Himeii and Miss c/orrU; Hall were united In tnarrliige at the residence of Kev. it. P. Franks, by said minister ut 11 o'clock Sundav. Miss Mary C. DuPre. of Fort Hill, reached here Sunday au<l since been visiting relatives in around this place. According lo appointment, the Kev. II. C. Fennel! preached a sermon in Smyrna church at 11 o'clock before this branch of tlie Abbeville District Bible Society selecting as his subject SSth verse of iSih chapter of Matthew, 4,He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief," and ;?th verse, (ith chapter of Mark. "He marvelled because of I their unbelief.'' lie preached a fine sermon belore a large and attentive congregation. Immediately afterword the society held a mwllnu Vli.?.l'ri.diloiit t It I nl'rirln IIip chiiir, and elected Air. J. 6. Chambers a delegate to the Abbeville meeting next Wednesday. Miss Minnie Gardner, of Kdgefield. being on a visit to the family of Mr. T. B. (.'linkscales, worshipped with the .Methodists on Sunday. .Miss Mollie Johnson, of Anderson, li.'mbeen visiting the family of her grandfather .Mr. Frank riinksealeR and other kinsfolk in this section for the last few weeks. Uur town was well represented at Abbeville on Monday, and the day was a pleasurable one to those who went, so far us henrd some pros went in the crowd and even partook of the tree dinner, and they have not as yet experienced any ill ellects from it, but have been ever since, as the little boy said, ' the wellest kind." Miss Carrie Mathews and Miss Marion Johnston went to Anderson Tuesday to visit trlends. Mrs. G. ii. McCalla, of the Fork, has been at Mrs. Jane Baker's quite sick lor two weeks, is convalescing and returned home a day or two ago. lJr. B. A. Henry went to Klberton Saturday to visit his old home for a short while. Do not know when so tnucli eagerness, upon the pan of our people, for the arrival of the Press and Banner, as was seen on last Wednesday. Those who attended the meeting Monday were anxious to see its account of that meeting, and those who did not have that pleasure were equally as anxious. Maj. E. B. Murray's speech was announced by those who heard it, a very tine one. It appears from a careful perusal to have been the bust of the campaign so tar. and It certainly is convincing to every one except the willfully or ignorantly blind. Mrs. J. C. Thomas, who went to Atlanta sometime ago for the benefit of her health, returned a few days ago greatly Improved. Mr. J. C. Thomas was called to his old home In Anderson Saturday. So there is a report that some of the pros tried to keep their followers from attending the meeting at Abbeville Monday. That looks like the charge of nose rings is not entirely without foundation. But then there is a precedent. In '76 the white scalawags and carpel baggars, as far as possible, kept their henchmen from attending the Democratic meetiDgs fearing that the sound, sensible troths which they would hear would show them how they were being bamboozled and they would depart from the error ol their ways. If the above charge Is true, and from what we hear, It looks like it was. were they afraid that by attending the meeting, the light ot reason and.comuion sense would pierce their benighted souls, thedarkness would be dispelled and they would emerge into conservative liberty and independence. We can boast of as intelligent a citizenship as any township i n the county, and from the number of newspapers taken at this office. It ought to be presumable, at lenst. that every man. woman and even children In the township was well posted as to the issues involved in the present campaign, yet I know of several very strong supporters of Gov.Tillman, who do not take any newspaper, nor do they ever read a line In one, but are lead to their conclusions by the say so of others. Some more of your nose rings. Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Lomax, of Latimer were our guests on Wednesday. Mr. Beaty Sherard went to Cook's station Wednesday to attend the reunion of com puny F., 24lh Regiment, ss. C. Volunteers which came off on that day. Quite a crowd was present, and the day was a very enjoyable one to all present. Miss Carrie, Miss Belle and Miss Ethel Helmer, of Atlauta. Ga., reached here Wednesday for a sometime visit to the family ofi their uncle Mr. J. O. Chambers. Mr. John Mathews, of Atlanta, is now with the family ot his-brother Mr. E. H. Mathews, where he will remain for sometime. Mrs. J. T. Latimer hus been for the last two weeks at Morrlstown, Tenn., visiting her kinsfolk at tliat place. Mr. Foster Speer went to Columbia Monday to stand a competitive examination before the State Board for a scholarship in the Peabody Normal Institute, Nashville, Tenn. After the speaking was over at Abbeville Monday, one or two seemingly trood Christian men were heard to say, that they would rather have a cursing Governor tliau a fighting one. Well, now, the best of Christians are sometimes called upon to fight, but whoever heard of a cursinir Christian. The two do not and cannot go together. We are told somewhere that when smitten upon the riuht cheek to turn the lelt. That might do for a crank, or an imbecile. Mr. L. l{. C. Lamar, of Washington, D. C., spent Wednesday night in town, the guest of bis uncle, Mr.T. Baker. Mrs. Dr. J. Q. McDavid and her three children of Due West reached here Wednesday on a visit to the family of the son-in-law of the former Mr. E It. Horton. Some of us were much surprised to learn of the attack upon the Press and Banner last Monday by Mr. w. C. Benet, as many think that gratitude to it, If nothing else, should have kept him silent, as we think that paper has done as much or more for his popularity at large as any other thing, as it never has let an opportunity slip to speak in terms of praise ot him, and has carefully copied every article found in Its exchanges, commendatory oI him. In this week's Press and Banner under the head of "National Currency" the author, I do not know who he is, says that there are only two anti-Tillmanites in the Nation. Whether that assertion is true or talse, I can not say, as this %vrlter has never heard hut oho man who said that he lived in the Nation. But l do say, that if true, they no doubt are able to paddle their own cnnoe without the assistance of KuhUcuh or any others. Troupe. A Few Grievances Staled. Kdltor Spartan You -kindly and Cuirly invite all sorts of politics and religion to air their opinions and grlevuuces In your columns. Here goes with my grievances. 1. I do not like these smiling.s l irklng Sun aay-senooi-iaceu canniuaies, wan are too goou for any thing when about churches and Sunday school meetings Tbcy lead double lives ?saints before the people, hypocrites in their own hearts. Watch them and vote Tor the other man if he is any better. 2. I do not like a candidate who insults public decency by "cussing" when on the stand or when talk ing to groups of voters. It Is not a sign of manliness or independence. It shows a man of low breeding and one utterly want ing In respect for others. It is said that, a people show what they are by the men they elect to publicottlee. If they ?re narrow between the eves and Hat on top the head they will elect such men to office. You never saw a great and good man and a wise and kind ruler who was narrow between the eyes and Very flat on the top of his head. Many unworthy candidates are called out. by the pressure of numerous friends; let the few best ones be chosen. 1. I have always hated rings, secret political combinations, grave yard| eaucusses and the like. Then beware or rings, umeon s hands and Alliance meetings. Mi rued Into political eaucusses. for they threaten the peace and harmony of county and Slate. ;*>. Another thine, Mr. Editor, I don't want you or any candidate or any caucus in which I have no part, to dictate to me how 1 shall vote. You pive the facts and I will put them together and make lip my own mind. Give all sides of all questions, tor I do 'jot read many papers and I want as much light as possible. Facts on one side only always make a warped, twisted ugly minded man that is so lull of prejudices ai.d self-conceit that lie can hardly draw an honest breath. <i. Thow on the light, Mr. Kdltor. Keep truth always in sight. If you let her slip, you are a goner. Kn lighten us. That is what we need. We don't want any partisan twaddle that tends to make enemies out of neighbors and tools out of everybody I.cad us into the light.?Carol Imt Spartan.

Last Sunday the rain poured down in torrents for about two hours. Although it raiiiK the farmers are not discouraged, and Tillman is talked ol mid thought more of every day. I think of all places Phoenix is one of the strongest for Til I man that I have yet seen. It Is not very good policy for anti tnen to come. Judging from the way I heard a Tillinanite talk yesterday, it would not be sale. We had an anti to visit us this morning, and I tell you he got Into the mud pretty deep. He says that Tillman will carry Abbeville and Edgefield wilhouidoubt. but he is sure he ' will not carry Anderson. We also had an an- 1 it with us some time ago.and he says that Sheppard fifteen counties, anil lie says that Sheppard's fifteen will beat Tillman's nineteen, but you can't make tliese Tillmanites believe it.

L. D. Childs, Chairman of the State Prohibition Executive Committee, paid Lanaster a flying visit Thursday, coming on the i 2:49 express. He came to meet the County , executive Commltlee. He brought cheerlug , lews. The fires ol Prohibition are kindling ' n every county, and In nearly all there Is a ine prospect of ultimate success. He gave some Interesting facts. One was hat the Revenue Department has consolllated Maine with New Hampshire, owing to he small revenue from liquors in the former State. It will be remembered by all our read:rs that Maine has had prohbition for many rears. The above Item, therefore, helps to >rove that prohibition does prohibit, the liquor n^n to the contrary notwithstanding. ( Mr. Childs also stated that some time ago he >aid a visit to Kansas to tlnd out for himself ' he etl'ectof prohibition In that State. He aid the Prohibition law was enforced there is well as any other law on the statute book if. H did prohibit. This is the testimony of an ye-wltness. Where Is the man that will dare luesUoulh* word of L. D. Childs? II i'ronioitiou ik eiicuuve iu muiur uuu vansas, why may It not be effective In South Carolina? Are we less law-abiding than hey ? Another Item of Interest was given the Committee by Mr. Childs. He found that axea were lower In Kansas under prohibition han they had been under the reign of the aloon. The reduction has been from 30 to 75 >ercent., causcd by a reduction in the nam>erof criminals in the Jails and penitentiary. Che courts had much less to do, and conseluently were conducted at much less cost, to then prohibition, instead of raising taxes, i ictualiy lowers them. The money thus saved < :an go to the education of ttie children lnef- , Iclcut public schools, and can be used for the ' mmediate necessities of the home. If we can cut down taxation in this State i rom 30 to 75 per cent., should we not do so? , if we can do It by prohibition, ought we not 1 o vote for It? 1 Another item worth noticing: After 30 rears trial of prohibition, the question of , 'Prohibition or no Prohibition'' was subnltted to the votes of the people of Maine, md prohibition won by -49,000 majority. I Sither as Mr. Childs said, t he people of Maine vere fools, or they were fully satisfied that trohibition does prohibit, Oh ! that we couid lave-I!),000 majority in this State! Let us try 'or It! . At the close of Mr. Childs' speech. It was de:Ided to have a County Prohibition Conven- I ion on Saturday, August Oth, at 12:30 o'clock u the Court llouseatthls place. All prolililtlonists are invitecf to take part in the pro'OpHimrti nml nil Interested are il reed to be ' iresent. If yon are a prohibitionist, come liiit your influence may be felt lorthegood :ause; if you are opposed to prohibition, ome and listen to the speeches that you may 1 le made to see the error of your ways. A j ousing time is expected. Mr. Chi Ids will be , lie principal speaker. Prohibitionists, Ictus organize and get to 1 irork. The liquor men tiave arganized in j 10th Columbia and Ctiarleston, and It is said < hey propose to organize In every town and oting precinct in the Stale. see to it that 1 very man votes his honest convictions.

He has been attended by several o.' his fellow physicians, L>ut it was difficult to control the bleeding. The man who is the most awkward tit saying nice things is usually the most sincere. His Rebuke. Much of the mu9ic sung in city ' churches would scarcely be characterized as "sacred" if it were heard anywhere except in the house of God. And there are some odd people who even in this age of progress consider that such music belongs rather to the concert room than to thp church. Parson Snow was one of these peoSle, and when he "exchanged" one unday with an old college friend who was settled over a large city parish he was both amazed and shocked by the vooal display ? the anthem ? with which the members of Ihe choir electrified the congregation. "They had fine voices, my dear," he explained to his little wife when he was safely back in his own home, "and 7 presume they wanted to show them off, and so took advantage of a time when their pastor was away. I thought at first of rising and requesting them to desist. Then I felt that perhaps it would bt my duty to report the matter to Doctor Green. "But I fially concluded that, as it was undoubtedly a first offence and caused by an nlmost pardonable vanity, I would deal gently with them. So I waited until they had finished, and then I rose and said, 'We will now begin the religious services of the morning. "And I feell sure," concluded the simple minded pastor, "t?at they felt my rebuke and 'will not let such a thing occur a^ain!"?Youth's Companion. ; A. Moss back to Ml*s Younghenrt. Mr. Mossback gives, in a number of the Golden Rule, some excellent advice to Miss Youngheart, in regard to her manners toward her brother: "As long ago as you can remember ? you quarreled with him over the biggest orange on the table, and called him names when he broke your doll's carriage inthe nursery. And when you grew big enough to go to high school, you just ignored him altogether, and gave all your confidences and all your expressions of affection to other girls. I notice that now you save most of your smiles and sweet words for that other young man of about your brother's age, who rings the door bell so regularly* every Sunday night. "Now, allow me to say that you know just as little about that brother af yours as he knows about you, though ' you have lived under the same roof for nearly twenty years. He is a great, growing, manly, warm-hearted fellow, a little awkward, to be sure, but he has just as royal a soul as any knight who ever entered the lists for a lady fair, and if you could only touch the right 3pring of bis nature, you would find a great treasury of brotherly devotion. But how can you expect thatany young man will exhibitany gallantry or chivalry when you call him "Bub," and when you laugh every day at his awkward red hands; arid when you never walk to church with him, If you can help it, and never think of going to the concert or lecture with him if you can get any other escort? "How can you expect, I say, that he will treat you with chivalrous deference, when you perpetually tease and fret him? Treat him as you treat the < aforementioned young man who calls every Sunday night Your brother has quite as many good points as he has, and (between you and me) Miss Chambers thinks he has a good many more. When you begin to treat him in this way, you will be surprised to find what a manly fellow he is." A Day At a Time It is a very hard thing to learn this ., rlnino' instvtho lip?f ivo l-nfiii- and than dismissing all care or worry of the future. After we haye done all we can, we find it hard to wait for results. Until you come to the place where the river meets the ocean, it appears to be only a lake. Its curves are such? that you can never see more than a mile or two ahead, though the river may be hundreds of miles long. You believe the river goes on, you believe, though you may never have seen just where, that it meets the ocean, then rest in the assurance that the power that guides and directs the river is guiding and leading you, and that the one day, the one hour, rightly lived, is all tlie responsibility you need to take. What thought has the brook, just starting from its source, of the vast areas of land its waters are to moisten ana enrich? If it could look ahead, it might well sigh and refuse to do so seemingly 'gigantic a task. It is not its business to look ahead, but only to'obey the Divine power which has called it, as well as you, into being. The longer tne brook flows the larger and more powerful and beneficent in its action it becomes so that it is easy for it to do what once seemed impossible. There is more thought and love in the Father's heart for you than for the the brook. Strength comes as work comes; only do the Best you know to jay, nowj let everything else goJ somebow the threads of life are woven together, and on our faithfulness or unfaithfulness to the hourly duties it rests whether the fabric shall be beautiful or unsightly and spotted.?Selected. What One Boy Did in One Year. He begged the office of sexton in the little Western Church aud earned seventy-five cents a week. He picked one hundred quarts of trim ior a neignoor. He bought and sold eleven dozen chickens, and cleared live dollars 011 them. When he could get no other work, a neighbor's wood pilejwasalways ready, it a dollar a cord for sawing and splitting. He earned thirteen dollars and seventy-five cents on his wood piles. For doing chores, cleaning yards, iloing errands, etc., he received ten dollars.
