No man who has the moral welfare of his county or .state at heart wonld encourage the violations of the law. Tn? people have .been Informed as to the printing bill. It has gone out t hat lower bids were received than the price fixed by law. It is true that such bids were put in after the bill had become a law. But whether received eurly or late, the price Is a fair one, and the State will save rajney by the law.

He has a large and flourishing echo, for which a handsome and commodious brie building has been erected during the wl ter. A majority of the members of the orl inai congregation, which was divided by ti action ol the Board of Missions for Freedmc still follow him, which fact seems to for shadow the organization of a new co gregallon ana ih? erection of anoth house of worship in the near future. The new college oulhiing is nearly finishi and will probably be occupied before ti close of the present month. The new building has accommodations t about fifty boarding scholars and is provide with a large dining room, kitchen and store room. And thus It will be seen that Rev. Wllllan has been Instrumental In the erection of 01 good church and two splendid three-story c< lege buildings. The prospect is, that he an his congregation will take steps to put up new church at some time not far In the fu ure.

In his "Problems of Health," D Greene says that there is not the r< raotesl corner or little inlet of the mil ute blood vessels of the human bod that does not feel some wavelet froi the convulsions occasioned by goo< hearty laughter. The life-principle < the central man is shaken to the ii nermost depths, sending new tides < life and strength to the surface, thi materially tending to insure goo health to the persons who indulg therein. The blood moves moi rapidly and conveys a different in predion to a 1 the organs of the bod; as it visits them ou the particuli mystic journey when the man laughing from what it does at oth< times. For this reason every goc hearty laugh in wnicn a person mau ges tends to lengthen his life, conve; frig, as it doe?, new and distinct stimi I us to the vital forces. Which Woman. "A woman's place is at home." ? says the publican. Does he say it I his barmaid ? Does be say it to the poor wife oi washing, earning money which hi husband spends at tbe bar ? Does he say it to the Door, lost gi spending the price of her shame i another glass of his fiery liquor? No ! He only says it to the womf who, constrained by love for hom come forth to save and protect tl home. ?The poor want not only advi but example. Not so much a preacl ingtoas personal sympathy. He that can feast upon anothei misery, vexation, or dissapointmer has a most unhealthy soul. Whatever good thing God has f us in the present, He has bett things for us in the future.
