While supremacy or negro domination one of tbe two Is almost on us, possibly both. Don't think the ring in this country is dead because we say so. (t has met a death blow, but Its head still lives, and like a "Jinied" i snake will gather Its slgments up and be more Invulnerable than ever, anu unless closely | watched by you Reformers will prove the livest corpse you ever tackled. Tbe new county , question Is simply not In it If you are opposed to tbe new county, you certainly have | - -- . - . . . intelligence enough to select yonr candidates from among the eight who also oppose it without any dictation from the deposed ring. The Pressand Banner stated last week that "The State canvassers were met at the depot by citizens who carried them to their homes, where they were hospitably enteriained." We have never for a moment doubted it, knowing Abbeville's capacity along this line, but the strange partof it is that, in addition to assessing the county candidates 81 each, a bill of 859.00 is presented to the executive committee of the county by Mr. Gary, for, as he says, "carriages, stand, entertaining, Ac." This is a very small matter and no one cares anything about it, but I dare say any town in the county would have gladly entertained them free of cost to any one. Greenwood would have paid the county 8100 for the privilege. To satisfy any doubting Thomas this Is an authorized bid lor two years hence, if we remain in tne old county. S. Mud With n Mirror. Some years ago there was a missionary bazaar held in a Christian city in aid of the African mission. When the havoar tvaa tf niuherl it. wrs found that a number of articles were left unsold. Some of them, it was thought, would be very handy for the mission, so it was decided to send the lot out to Africa. Among other things was a box of little hand-mirrors, that bad baen given by a merchant. Looking glasses seemed queer things to send to a foreign mission ; however, they were sent, and became the most useful articles there. The mirrors took the people's fancy, and their fame was carried far beyond the station. The knowledge of this wonderful thing came to a princess of a distant pow erful tribe. She had never beheld her dusky countenance, except as a double silhouette in a placid lake, and she longed to behold all her charms, for, beiug a princess, she was told by everybody that she was most beautiful; whereas, she was one of the pla nest women in the whole tribe. A messenger was dispatched for oue of the mirrors, which he procured and at once returned to his mistress. When she got possession of it she did not look into it at once, but took herself off to own place, that she might have a good long look at her beauty. When she beheld herself as she was with one blow of her royal hand she dashed the glass to pieces. She ordered the missionaries off her territory, and published and edict forbidding looking-glasses being brought into the country. Are there not many in other lands who are in a similar condition with regard to their souls ? When they are brought face to face with God's lookiug-glass, with the hideousness of their sin, and they cannot deny the fact, they blame the mirror, seek toavoid it, and destroy it that they may lay the flattering falsehood to themselves that they are not so ugly as they appear. Which Will You Choose, Boys?-I read of a boy who had a remarkable dream. He thought that the richest m?n in fnwn name to him. and said: 'I am tired of my bouse and grounds; come and take care of them, and I will give them to you." Then came an honored judge and said: "I want you to take my place; I am weary of being in court day after day; I will give you my seat on the bench if you will do my work." Then the doctor proposed that he take bis extensive practice and let him rest, and so on. At last up shambled old Tommy, and said, "I'm wanted to fill a drunkard's grave; I have come to see If you will take my place in these saloons and on these streets?" This is a dream that is not all a dream. For every boy in this land today who lives to grow up, some position is waiting as surely as if the rich man, judge, doctor, or drunkard stood ready to hand over his place at once. Which will you chooe, boys? There are pupits to be filled by God-fearing ministers, and thousands of other honorable places; but there are also prison cells and drunkards' graves, ?ill ject to tne action of the Democratic primaries.

The Dog Days.?These are the dog days. They begin July 2 anekwill end August 11. They have nothing to do with the dog9 beyond making those animals uncomfortable, like the rest of us. from the heat. They get their name from tbe fact that Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation of the Great Dog, and called the Dog star, on these days rises and sets with the sun. You cau see Sirius any bright winter night. It is a beautiful bluish star, as bright as Jupiter, and rises soon after Orion, the great giant who has stars for a belt and stars for a sword. The ancients, who did not know enongh to discover that the world was round or moved around the sun, took notice that the days when the Dog star kept pace with the sun they had the greatest heat, and they thought, therefore, that this star produced it. Love Is not a mere attribute of God. It is not that God's love for his creatures is one of his phases of feeling or of being, while his sense of justice is another phase. It is not that God loves some of his creatures, and lacks love for others. "God is love," and God cannot be himself aud fail of being loving. God loves those who love him, and God loves those who do not love him. What comfort there is in this truth ! The Dutch have worked out the tramp question to what they consider a final conclusion. The State maintains a farm of 50,000 acres, and every man applying for relief is seut there to earn his living. If the man won't work, he is sent to a labor colony where he has to work; but if he shows a disposition to get ahead, and learns how to cultivate thesoil, the ?tate rents a small farm to him, where he is left to his own resources. N. Y. Advocate.) All of the Methodist churches in this city, so far as we know, are open except St. Andrew's and St. Paul's, Some are closed in the evening, but all the others have at least a morning service. We have never yet known a church in Methodism to prosper permanently that closed regularly in the summer. This statement was made some years ago, aud a church was brought to our notice which it was claimed was an exception to the statement. On investigation we found that * ! 1 1 I 1 most 01 us accessions uuu uteu u_y certificate, and very few by conversion from the world; that the annual number of those by certificate had been diminishing for many years,and finally a steady diminution of its membership set in. One passage of Scripture which our divine Lord seemed to regard as an utterance of the greatest importance is apparently not believed by many Christians of the present day : "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of ( them." 80, unless they can keep a number large enough to pay expeuses by the collection, they close the doors in the faces of such as would come.

"One cause of so many unanswered prayers is that they are from a wrong motive. "We ask and receive not because we ask amiss that we may consume it upon our lusts." Especially is this true in regard to temporal blessings. We desire worldly prosperity and pray for it not that we may do more good and be a blessing to others but that we may enjoy more of the life. We want to have liner homes and live in better style and to keep up with tbe fashions of the world. If this is not our purpose in praying for worldly prosperity, it is at least what most meu do, Christians included, when they obtain worldly prosperity. (Christian Standard.) If your preacher is not quite up to the measure of the stature of your ideal ; if he is not so elegant as Robertson, or entertaining as Beecher, or eloquent as Brooks; if he lacks somewhat on the social side, and is a little slow and awkward in making friends, the poorest of all remedies is criticism or censure. For all ordinary ministerial failings, an ounce of co-operation is worth a pound of criticism ; a gill of sympathy more than a gallon of censure. Any sincerely pious man of ordinary talents can be made into an efficient, successful pastor by a congregation ; and any man, however good and gifted, can be made a failure by the congregation. A congregation may be known by the sort of pastors it makes.
