!S=*i The Heavens Declare the Glory of | (iotl; and the Firmament Sboweth His Handiwork." Ph. xlx. "The Bpaclous flrmament-on high, With all the blue etheral sky. And spangled Heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim, Th' unwearied sun, from day to day. Does His Creator's power display ; And publishes to every land. The work of an Almighty band. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The;moon takes up the wond'rous tale And nightly, to the listening earth, Repeats the story of ber birth ; While all the stars, tbat round thee burn, .? And all the planets lb tbelr turn, Confirm the tidings as tbey roll, And spread the truth fiom pole to pole." What, though, in solemn silence, all Move round the dark, terrestrial ball ? What though no real voice or sound, Amid the radiant orbs be found ? In reason's ear tbey all rejoice, Ana alter iona a Kiunuus vujto, i Forever singing as they shine. Tbe hand that made us Is divine." "AddlsoD." ? 4^ Parliamentary Inquiry. In the year 1832 the British House of Commons appointed a committee to investigate the effects of laboring seven days in a week, compared with those laboring only six, aud resting one. That committee consisted of Sir Andrew Agnew, Sir Robert Peel, Sir Robert Inglis, Sir Thomas Bearing, Sir George Murray, Fowell Buxton, Lord Morpeth, Lord Ashley, Lord Viscount Sandon, and twenty other members of Parliament. They examiued a great number of witnesses, of various professions and employments. Among them was John Richard Farre, M. D., of London ; of whom they speak as "an acute and experienced physician." Tbe following is the testimony : "I have practiced as a physician between thirty and forty years; and during the early part of my life, as tbe physician of a public medical institution. * I had charge of tbe poor in one of the most populous districts of London. I have had occasion to observe the effects of the observance and non-observance of the Seventh day of rest during this time. I have been in tbe habit, during a great many years, of considering the uses of the Sabbath, and of observing its abuses. The abuses are chiefly manifested in labor and dissipation. Its use, medically speaking, is that of a daj of rest. *' A a a riftv nf T view it as a dav of compensation for the inadequate restorative power ot the body under continued labor and excitement. A physician always has respect to the preservation of the restorative power; because, if once this be lost, his healing office is at an end. A physician is anxious to preserve the balance of circulation, as necessary to the restorative power of the body. The ordinary exertions of man run down the circulation every day of his life ; and the first general law of nature, by which God prevents man from destroying himself, is the alternating of day and night that repose may succeed action. But although the night apparently equalizes the circulation, yet it doesn't sufficiently restore its balance for the attainment of a long life. Hence, one ( day in seven, by the bounty of Providence, is thrown in as a day of compensation, to perfect by its repose the animal system. j "I consider, therefore, that, in the j bountiful jprovision of Providence for tbe preservation of human life, tbe j sabbatical appointment is not, as it has f been sometimes theologically viewed, simply> precept partaking of the na- j ture of a political institution, but that j it is to be numbered amongst the nat- | ural duties, if the preservation of life be admitted to be a duty, and the pre- ( mature destruction of it a suicidal act." < \ - Let Us Help One Another.

VV n? rule practiced not only in every honse- I hold, but thronghout the world. By helping one another we not only re- j move thorns from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our own \ hearts, knowing we are doing a duty t to a fellow creature. A helping hand, or an encouraging word, is no loss to t U8} yet it is a benefit to others. Who v has not felt the power of this little sentence ? ] Who has not needed the encourage- i ment and aid of a kind friend ? How s soothing, when perplexed with some task that is mysterious* and burthen- 3 some, to feel a gentle hand on the shoulder and to hear a kind voice ? whispering : "Do not Seel discouraged ? I see your trouble, let me help you." | What strengtn is inspired, what hope i created, what gratitude is felt, and the i great difficulty Is dissolved as dew beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help i one one another by endeavoring to 1 strengthen and encourage the weak ( and lifting the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may i glide smoothly on, and the fount of < bitterness yield sweet waters; and He, i whose willing hand is ever ready to aid us, will reward our humble en- . deavore, and every good deed will be i as "bread cast upon the waters, to 1 - a* j 1? :f return aiier mauy u?^? n uui w us, to those we love. I Unselfish.?There are usually two ways of looking at a thing, and it is ' well now and then to change one's point of view. Littlo Hans had just begun his scbpol life, and his mother was ambitious to have him keen a high standing in his class. "Why, Hans," she said, regretfully, at the end of the second week, "last week you gave me so much pleasure by get- ] ting to be at the head of your class, 1 ana now you are only number four, I j "Yes, I know," admitted the little fellow with great gravity; "but then,' he added, "some other boy's mamma has the pleasure this week, ho I thought perhaps you wouldn't mind so very much." i "You're quite right, Hans," said i his mother, giving him an apprecia- I tivesmile; "I don't mind it at all? I now." A wealthy member one ot our large city churches recently told his pastor < that, as times were bad, he should be ( forced to discharge a number of his employees. The pastor was a man . worthy of his station. He said: "You have enormouB wealth You live , in a palace, bavea costly country place, and support an expensive establishment. Now, is it Christian, is it fair j inof fnrvnn tr> r?asf nnon thftfihuritv , V1 4V* J w- ^ of the Christian world these men who ' have helped you to build up your fortune; and who, though with some , loss to yourself, you can still maintain , in their positions?" Under this faith- ' ful and searching question of his pastor, it is said that the merchant de- j cided this to be a time to make a prac- ( tical test of his stewardship.?Ad- , vance. , How many people would be wonderfully amazed to get an answer to the , prayers they make in pravermeet- , The Epworlh Uunrdn. The Epworth League of the Northern Methodist church, has instituted a movement known as the "Epworth Guards," similar in many respects to the "Boy's Brigade" in Euglaud. The religious press reports it as doing good in some places, but in mauy places it has proved a complete failure, as, we believe, it should. We waut none of it iu Southern Methodism. We are surprised that Dr. Atkins, editor of the North Carolina Advocate, usually so conservative and level-headed, should nibble at this bate and become the advocate of such a dangerous organization. He says in a recent issue of the Advocate : " We should like to see the Epworth Guards among us." We predict it will be a sad day for the Epworth Leagues of the South when such radical uncalled-for measures are introduced to reach- the boys of the church. The boys of our church may not be "sufficiently cared for," as Dr. Atkins avers with so much certainty; but the Epworth League if properly worked will make them "soldiers of the cross," in every sense of the word, UUU luai WllUUUL jjuus, UIUUJD, uui forms, etc. We think this this organization would have a tendency to make the boys what Dr. Atkins claims the young men are now?"irreligious," instead of consecrated Christians. We are always ready for reformation and are never backward in advocating and supporting new methods, when those methods are meritorious ; but against any such invasion as the "Epworth Guards," we pray for deliverance. We have pleasure in copying the views of Rev. H. M. DuBose, on tnis subject, who is one of the best, and most wideawabeeditors in the Methodist cburch. "We are only a fallible man, ami are open to conviction on the presentation of any reasonable proof; but it is oui firm conviction that of all the innovations which have been introduced into the churches in modern days none promises so much demoralization as the "Boys' Brigade" and other military appendages. We have viewed no recent movement with more solicitude than this : and now that the ''Epworth Guards" are on the scene we lift one feeble voice in the ear of Southern Methodism to warn. Forswear it while it is in embryo. There is a scorpion in that egg. Let it not come under our wings. It is to bell our boys to a veneered barbarism to give into their hands a gun and a license which too often goes with it. And all in the name of religion ! It has not been two months since we met a troop of these armed and bedizened youngsters on the streets, howling like hoodlums. mL!- - * ?* lills, ui course, was nut mo opmw ? the Brigade, but the occasion brought the offense.

The census statistics show that the iverage price of a mule is seven dollars more than the average price of a horse. South Carolina owns about 55,000 of these creatures with the busy heels, rexas has 200,000?probably more than inv other State. The South Carolina mule is now about $90; average price :>f a horse in the same State is $ 75. The Texas mule is worth $41, or nearly twice the value of a horse. Iu Missouri mules are worth about seven dollars more, and in Kentucky about about three dollars more than a horse. Oregon is the only State where an avsrage horse selll for a higher price than mules. The ordinary horse out there 8 worth $51. while the mule brings 546. California horses tell for $40, and nules for $67. Pennsylvania mulesused a great deal in the coal minesbring about $86, and their horses only $67. A New York mule is now $91, and a horse $76. The New Jersey mule averages about $106?the highest in the United States?or $30 more than the horses. Illinois has more mules than any other Western State?140,XX). Although right and wrong are as far apart as the poles no man has ever found standing room between them. Have You Been Upstairs? Some few years ago, a poor man, after lengthened affliction, in which nearly all his temporal means were exhausted, died, leaving to the care of, God a wife and several young children. At her husband's death, the support of the family was to be obtained by the widow's toil; and the means on which she depended were very precarious. Trials came upon her apace, as she trod "the widows lonely way ; " and sometimes so pressing were her difficulties that she seemed to be on the verge of destitution. Happily she had chosen the Lord before ttiese days of darkness and distress; and now found a sweetness in claiming Him as her husband. She knew He had said : "Let thy widows trust in Me," and, therefore, rolled her burden of care on Him. Never till now did !she understand the value of a throne of grace; for often did new trouble drive her, as a plaintive suppliant, to pour her distresses into "the ear of mercy. She had regular seasons for prayer; but these were often supplemented ; for when any fresh trial arose she retired to spread it before the Lord. On these special occasions she used to go into her bedroom ; and so often did she go thither, that her children both knew why she went, and in every domestic trouble expected her to go. Her hab 1C was IDUS lunueu uy unuuiusiuutco, and many delightful answers to prayer proved it a good one. Her greatest trial, however, had not yet come, and it remained to be seen whether she would continue faithful. All her wants had hitherto been supplied; but at length a sore calamity befell her, which threatened to plunge her into inextricable distress. Employment and money failed; and as she did not like to ask credit for necessaries which she had not the probability of paying for, she went to bed one nignt without any food in the house or the means of obtaining any. The morning came, and when her hungry children asked for their breakfast she had none to give them, and what to do she could not tell. Grief overcame her; the thought that she and her babes might starve flitted across her mind, and she wept bitterly. At that moment a sweet little boy stole softly up to her, and taking her hand in his said, "Mother, what is the matter ? why do you cry so ? "Because* my love," she replied, I have no food for you, and cannot get any." 'Mother," he rejoined, "you have not been upstairs this morning." The good woman took the hint; retired as usual to spread this trial before the Lord, and asked the needed supply ; and while she was praying confidence sprang up in her soul, she felt she could trust for that day's bread, and help was at hand. Scarcely had she left the room, when a lady culled to ask if she wanted employment ; who, on hearing of the condition of the family, immediately furnished them with necessaries, and placed the widow in a situation of ease and comfort. How many a trial would be eased, monv .a fomntoHnn nnnnupcpd U\SVY LUUU J M VV>LU|/VMV1VM WVM V|MW | how many a deliverance gained, if we would go "upstairs." or elsewhere, and spread it ail before the Lord ! Let us never forget the closet; onr Father that seeib us in secret will reward us openly with abundant blessings. _ i The Beatitude of the Vnnoceetuirnl. There may be no Bible beautltude saying expressly, "Blessed are the unsuccessful," but there are beatitudes which are equivalent to this. We take from our Lord's own.lips, "Bless- < ed are tbey that mourn ;" "Blessed are ye poor;" "Blessed are tbey . which are persecuted ;" "Blessed are ye when men shall hate you." Then many other Scripture passages have like teaching. Evidently not all Lies sings lie in tue suiibuuie. Luauj' ui tbem hide in the shadows. We do not read far in the Bible, especially in the New Testament, without finding that earthly prosperity is not the highest good that God has for men. Our Lord ' speaks very plainly about the perils of worldly success. The Bible is indeed a Book for the unsuccessful. Its sweetest messages are to those who have failed. It is a Book of love and sympathy. It is like a mother's bossom to lay one's head upon in time of distress or pain. Its pages teem with cheer for those who 1 are discouraged. It sets its lamps of hope to shine in darkened chambers. It reaches out its hands of help to the fainting and to those who have fallen. It is full of comfort for those who are in sorrow. It has its many special j Eromises for the reedy, the poor, the ereft. It is a Book for those who 1 have failed, for the disappointed, the ( defeated, the discouraged. It is this quality in the Bible that makes it so dear to the heart of hu- ( manity. If it were a Book only for i the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unfallen, those who have no sorrow, who never fall, the whole, the happy, it would never And such a welcome wherever it goes in this world. So long as there are tears and I QAprnwo nnil hrnUpn heart*, and ftrush ed hopes, and human failures, and lives burdened and bowed down, and spirits sad and despairing, so long will the Bible be a Book believed in as of God?an inspired Book, and full of inspiration, light, help and btrength for earth's weary ones.?J. R.Miller, D. D. A very common hindrance to Christian development is the attempt of men to perform their Christian work outside of their appropriate spheres. There are a great many who feel that that is Christian work which is different from their common every-day duty. There may be something more than every-day duty which goes to constitute the whole of our Christian life?there ought to be. But, after all every man's first duty as a Christian is in the calling in which God's providence has placed him. We are taught, and we feel, that our position in life is the result, not of accident or chance, but of the Divine ordering. And whether God has ordered you to stand tn the household oroutof it, in the mine or on the ship, in the store or in the office, on the farm or in the r shop, wherever he has placed you, there is your first duty. Your first duty is to subdue that business in [which you are engaged to the uses of religion. What I mean is, that it is i incumbent on every man to conduct , his business so that it sball be a means of grace, so that he shall not have to , leave his calling for the sake of his religion, but shall be religious by his ? calling and through it. That is the Bible teaching. Think nothing you do not want God to know. Say nothing you do noi want God to hear. Write n'othing ( you do not want God to read. Do 1 nothing you do not want God to see. Go nowhere you do not want God to ( meet you. 4 ! ??i? m\nmnmmrnmm House and Lot for Sale. T OFFER FOR SALE MY HOU8E and IX)T on Moseley Ferry road In the town of Abbeville. Terms easy. Apply toW.S.
