The best way to get one's cup full is to praise the Lord for what he has already put la it. It is worth while to remember that the oftener we lose our temper the less likely, we are to get rid of it. Keep your hearts warm by feeling for others, and your powers active by work done in earnest. All men have patience; if they have none for others they are apt to have more than enough for themselves. These six?the peevish, tbe niggard, the suspieious, the dissatisfied the passionate, and those who live on others' means?are forever unhappy. What must be shall be; and that' / which is necessity to him that struggles is little more.than a choice to him tbat is-willing. A father who loves his child wishes to keep that child ;forever; he who can see without pain his daughter pass under the domination of another, is not a real man. EBSKINE COLLEGE.

Nearly every Bern VJ was occupied, and everybody remarked od ti, the excellent atieution which was paid to the different orator*. Id the old Lindsay Hall o there was always mom or less noise, and con- H[ fusion, but In the new ball yesterday, the rj order was perfect.

Dr. Grler followed with bis annual address h< to the RMduatlng class. He spoke with more hi than hia usual Are and eloquence, and Im lo pressed bio hearers with the idea that ibe last lb speech was belter than the otbers. We lake es pleasure lo presenting hla speech In full : er Dr. Strong says, In nls latest work, that of cc Ibe twenty-six barons who Blgned magna tfc charta three wrote their cameo and twenty- a] tbree made their mark?; and, be adds, tbe av- fli erage laborer In the United States today is gi more intelligent than many a great noble a sb few centuries ago.

In 1890 it was 82 to every se one of tbe population, or 1,081,000,000. fu This means Inlormallon among the masses, Ti and that means agitation. Many a plain ee working man of today is as well informed in tt reference to every great movement in Church al and State as tils representative In Congress. 11 He is no longer an Ignorant hewer of wood w and drawer of Vater. There can be no question tbat this general al Information bus created a spirit of unrest and dl discontent.

Unless tbe el spirit of Inquiry and Investigation and dla- n: cushion, so widespread In this country be controlled by tbe Just, sober aud benevolent prln- w ciples there may well be tbe most serious ap- ai prehension of the final outcome.

One afternoon, as he was eaaing a ioonsn siory, ne overnearu ne Bay, "That boy is a great reader; oes he read any thing that is worth eading?" "No," was the reply, "His mind will un out if he keeps on reading aftep is present fashion. He used to be a ensible boy till he took to reading ionsense and nothing." The boy sat still for a time, then ose, threw the book into the ditch, rent up to the man who said that his aind would run out and asked him if ie would let him bave a good book to ead. "Will you read a good book if I will et you have one?" "Yes, sir." "It will be hard work for you." "I will do it." "Well, come home with me, and I rill lend you a good book." He went with him and recived a voliine of Franklin's works. "There," said the man, "read that, nd come and tell me what you have ead." The lad kept his promise. He found t hard to read the simple and wise entepces of the philosopher, but he ersevered. The more he read, and be more he talked with his friend bout what be read, the more interestd he became. Ere loug he feit no deire to read the feeble and foolish looks in which he had formerly de* ighted. He derived *. great deal more ileasure from reading good books than ie had ever derived from reading poor nes. Besides, his mind began to grow. ie began to be spoken of as an intelIgeut, promising young man.?Lights or the Line. ^ When a Church member with a rum ilossom on his nose claims to be a Christian we can't help wondering phy he should be sailing under the [evil's colors.

After tbe choir had sung a beautiful and suitable hymn, the Rev. Dr. Bays was asked to mane a prayer. Dr. Bays In recognition of the benefits re suiting irom the labors of our departed friend gave grateful and hearty thanks to Aimigbtj God for bis useful life, and for the good deedi which be had done. Although hia spirit had gone to the Father, and although his llfeleos lorm lay in the casket before us, yet be wai not dead. He still lives in his good works which are a benediction to us.

While the greal majority of the ministers of the gospel founc one pretext or another for abandoning tbeli work in the held of danger and hardship, yel Mr. Morse barely mentions the fact that h< entered the army and remained to its close coming home to find his fortune gone.

My bealtt was feeble and by tbe advloeof friends an< appointment of Presbytery I wentatonoe t< Pickens county, (embracing the now tw< counties of Oconee and Pickens), as a mission ary, and oontinued in the work for-si: months and tben in October, 1849, took charg< of three churches in Spartanburg county Tbe one at tbe Court House. North Pacole and Calvary for one year and served them an til October, 1850. During tbls time, Decembe 20, 1849, I was married to Miss Carolina Teague, of Abbeville, and sbe Is yet, afle; nearly 41 years, spared to me. "October, 1850, 1 returned to Abbeville an< resumed charge of tbe Male Academy, am also of Little Mountain churob, nine mile North of Abbeville. Tbls arrangement con tinned until June, 1853. In July, 1853,1 ac cepted an Invitation to become pastor of tbi cburcb at Anderson C. H. Was ordained an< tbat fall installed pastor, and in addition wu one of tbe professors in tbe Anderson Femali College, giving 2% hours a day to tbls collegi work. At tbe end of two years I was com pelled to give up tbe college work as bealtl and strength was giving away, but I contin ued In tbe pastorate until 1862 when I becami chaplain of the 17tb Regiment South Carolln< Volunteers, under tbe command of Col. F. W McMaster, of Columbia, 8. C? and so contin ued until tbe close of tbe civil war. In tb< retreat < tbe Confederates from Rlchmonc and Petersburg, I was captured Just South o Petersburg, Va., April 3,1866, and was takei to Washington, D. C.. and was, Just at dusk locked up in tbe old capltol prison, on tbi night on which President Lincoln waB assas slnated. "On the 1st day of May, 1865,1 was sent U Johnson s xsiana ai me western ena 01 jlaki Erie, a few miles North of Sandusky city, O. was kept there until early In July when : was released and reached home, 1 think, 01 tbe 16th day of July with 91.60 In my pocket For more than two months my wife and fum lly were utterly Ignorant as to my fate whether dead or alive. When 1 came to tak< In my situation It was this: Wife and slj children living. Eleven children bad beei born to us but four bad been left behind li the cemetery at Anderson and one bad diet in my absenoe and was Interred at Due West at which place my femlly resided while I wai a chaplain, and soon alter my return (in Sep tember) our twelfth oblld was born. Ho tbei myself, wife and seven living children were u be provided for. We bad on hand a emal amount of provisions and tbe one dollar anc ninety oents above spoken of. Living In i rented bouse. Slaves bad been set at liberty and all other property wan gone, but tbe pro verb was verldeu, "The Lord will provide.' Such had been my zeal In the Confederal* cause and confidence in Its success that I sole all my possession in Anderson, home, farm Ac., and In vested in Confederate bondB and li Interest bearing 8100 Confederate notes. Al this amounting to nearly or quite 825,000 wai now utterly worthless. Tbe whole peopl< were utterly impoverished. No church lei able to undertake tbe support ol a mlnlstei and tbe only foundation to reston was "True in tbe Lord and do good and verily thou shal dwell In tbe land and be fed." At tbe verj close of September the Presbytery met, bu owing to the. illness of my wife and oneo our children I could not attend, but soon In formation came tnai i naa oeea appointed dj tbe Presbytery as lis evangelist. Near tlx end of Ootober when the sick ones were some what recovered I removed my family Iron Due West to Green wood, Abbeville county, ai a more convenient point for my work and en tered upon tbe work early in November, 1S65 and continued In It for more tban Ave yean up to tbe early part of 1671. During tbesi years I was away from my family about lour fifths of the time. "In Marob, 1871, I became pastor of ?h< church at Gainesville. Ala., ana *o contlnuec until May, 1885, a little more tban 14 years In May. 1883,1 took charge of Brown's Chap el, a mission work at Coosaw, Beaufort coun ty, S. C..and continued there until tbe fear ful storm of August 27th and 28th, 1891, devas tated tbe entire coast, nearly destroyed Coo saw and rendered church and manse untana ble, carried away ray study andwlib It uij entire library and all my manuscripts am put the lives of myself, wife, daughter, Al berta, and son, William, in Imminent Jeop srdy. On tbe 7lb September, 1898, we go away irom tbe ruins and came to my son's Abbeville, S. C., at whose place I now am September 23,1X93, being years old. Good ness and mercy bath (allowed me all tbea< days and years." ADDED REMARKS.
