I/idies and Gentlemen : We welcome each and every one of you to all the privileges ol this happy children's day. This day, It. seems to me, should be 'he happiest of all the year. Iireary. dreary winter Ihik at last given up her cliiliii lo this section oi "mother earth," and spring, in all her primeval beauty. Iihk heen u?ht-red in to take tier place. What a contrast. between Unlay and one three months ugu! Then, the ground was covered with snow, the freezing birds had no heart to sing ; the piercing winds blew from the cold North, and scarcely any glens of li fe could be seen. Now, bright smiles greet us on every hand ; the melodious songs of iiappy birds touch our ears with their soft music; gentlest zephyrs cool our heated brows anil lull our aching heads to rest; tin- flowers vie with each other in beauty and till the air with their sweet fragrance; even all nature has put ou her mantle of green. dotted, tier- and there, and yond' r. with "floweret# of a thousand hues." It is mii a day, in the midst of u season like this, that we have come here to celebrate our children's day. This is a day to forget o"r sorrows and care*-, a day lo be glad and happy. (,'oininK immediately alter drear winter as It does, spring Is appreciated in a two-fold manner. Spring time is a time tor joy and pleasure?a time when "a young man's lancy lightly turns to thoughts ot love," and, 1 dare say, many are frequenting the babbling brooks, glist-nil);; meads, wildwood spots, and hunting "sweet forget-me-nots that grow for Iiappy lovers;" yes, you are strolling out in the twilight tmaginiug: ' (.VII thoughts) that youthful poetsdream On summer eves by haunted stream." This is a day to encourage these "thought* or love.' wuen mis entertainment is uvcri mid we have partaken of the epicurean repjist which 18 to be spread belore uk, these young ninn will conduct the blushing maidens to various rustic seats, and there tell their lales of low, "In notes with many a winding bout Of United sweetness long drawn out." Perhaps ere I finish, you may think, and rightly loo, that my speech js as changeable ts love iiself Hut such thoughts as these, lowe'er pleasant they may be. must not molopolize all oi our attention. We must direct ?ur thoughts to the sterner realities of life. kVe have many duties lo perform, mauy privies that should be taken advantage of. )pporiumiies upon opportunities present hemselves 10 us. Do we make the best use >i them? Our opportunities are our duties iiid we should not neglect them. Some of us act "as though to breathe were ite," and why this dormant state V The great ;lant, Progress, goes on in his majestic i rides; wonderful inventions are being coqlaully made; new mysteries in science are >eing brought to light; the whole civilized vorld is going, as it were, at a breakneck peed?yet we remain inactive! Let us learn o "act, act in the living preseut, heart withn and God o'erhend " We must live less for self and more for God md humanity. We have but to look around is to see some discouraged one, who needs u iind word lo cheer him,or a helping hand mil a syinpiiihl/.ing heart, lo lighten his burlen. I,nelsde?r; life is priceless. We have tul one short lile to live (and we know not iow soon dculh, tn? mystic sleep, will claim is lor his own); "Let us Iheu, lie up and doing, With a heart lor every late: Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn lo labor and to wait." What ii life? If it is anything, It is experince. and a I > experience is an arch, where? hrougb gleams that uu travelled world, vbose margin lades lorever and forever when re move." We are lilted for lile by our joys, orrows, iri?ls i?nd temptations. Let us each iseend the hill of life and reach the highest nnple of Ideals upon the everlasting peak ol ruth; let us find strength "to sttlve, to seek, o find,and not lo yield so that when we etli'cl ourcelves in the mirror of the past, no It-formed leatures will anywhere be visible. Jay th? Imperiectioiis and short-comings ol lie be excel led by noble acts and deeds, showng thai our ideals were at all times loity, ture and genuine. We live in an age of thought and the quickst. thinker is the most successful man. Let is shape our livesaiter the Graud Model, the Clug ol Kings. We all can uoi make outlines great and iuimortal, yet we can every me help ourselves as well as others In solving lie problem of life lor the betterment of hunauity, silently, nonly and well. Then our ives will not tie misspent, and when time, vith us, shall be no more, we may, like the ;reat, glorious sun, "leave behind us fool* irlnts on the sands of lime." PROGRAMME.

A liiiixo Part of I lie <'olor?Ml Iiap Congregation Itefore Mayor Hi A Pious Row in uhirli Ncvt Heads Were Crnchwl. Without going into particulars, we gh briefly as we can, an account of the which took place in the negro Baptist chi last Sunday. The Iacl.R slate<l are correc the best of our knowledge. Without an; tent ion to favor or prejudice either sid give tlie following : l>ast Sunday evening, the fuss which been lor some time brewing among the ored Baptists in thin city culminated in a tight and general drag out. Except thebl inrf of a woman in one eye by another man. no serious damage resulted, the some of the brethren and someot the cli were thrown out of doors, while one e: zealous brother, with a long walking si knocked <juite a number of the brethren c I I !..> Koine of the women came into court A dity with their heads in bandages unci hi of the brethren were similarly arrayed. It seems that ttie Alt. Pleasant Baf ehurch here consists of about 130 memb Of iliis number :!0 withdrew last fall anc ganlxed what. In sometimes irreverently ca the "Shop Crowd" orwlioi more reverei spoken oi Is called the "Union"congregat They retired to a vacant biacksmlthsbor Jacenl. and commenced to worship the I with z?-al and fervor, but after a time thi became a little monotonous, and they < eluded to go back to the large and com dious church from which they had wlthdra and to the building of which Ihey had i tribnted. The original difficulty arose over a disp as to the election oi a pastor. A majorit: the Mount Pleasant congregation wanted 1 Mcintosh, wlille the "Shop Crowd ' wan anybody else. The objection to ltev. Mcintosh, was thn was not.and is not, in fellowship with the 1 tlst Association. If the congregation elec a preacher who was not In fellowship w the Association, that fuct would exclude whole congregation from organized fell ship with their brethren. The "Shop Crowd" appled to the A asocial for a minister, and ftev. McCains was sent The "Shop Crowd" occupied the church Sunday and had a program printed, which eluded nearly every hour in the day ft early In the morning until late at night, i were at prayer, In the regular Baptist ho of worship about three o'clock, when H Mcintosh and his followers came to the fr and rear doors, but waited until the codcI ion of the prayers before entering. At the trial before bis Honor the Maj which was held in court house in the prese of a full house, It was sought to prove 1 manner of their entrance?whether qule and reverently, or boisterously. On t point tbe testimony was somewhat confl lug. Itev. Wm. Hodges, of the "Shop Crowd" f conductor ol the meeting at time of tbe i turbunce, wben asked in what manner I Rev. Mcintosh and his followers came said: "They came in, as the Scriptures s like the horse rusheth into battle. Tt came in both doors?from opposite directii ?just a rushing. Made right to the pulpit. Among other things proved by the 11 Wm. Hodges, was: "That tbe Bible and New Testament was tbe law of the Bapi Church. He had never read the discipline the Church. That book was intended for I instruction ol ignorant members. Kev. Mcintosh claimed tbat be nnd Iriends went In as gentle and loving Chr linns. Intending only to make some t nouncements from the pulpit. A good chu; member brought a chair along for him to upon in the pulpit, while waiting lor his portuntty to speak. Ii seems that a zealous brother, who did want the meeting disturbed, grabbed thecb and tnrew it back out of the door throi which it was brought. This seemed to be the beginning of a gr effort to keep the peace Deacon Andr Quartes then gently took bold ol Kev. Mc loslf and proceeded to put the preacher oul dQors, but the preacher protested, and bel "the host man" of the two, immediately lai ed the Deacon through Uie door and oul the ground. It was in evidence tbat Deac Samuel Thomson gave vent to his enthusia hy flourishing a big walking stick. Dea< Harper's head came in coutact with it and was soon very bloody. Deacon Thomson v so enthusiastic ia his service of the Lord tl two women undertook to hold him, and c applied her umbrella to liis head to cool 1 fervor. In the meantime Deacon i^uarl wife puuclied Slater DruclllaCannon In eye with her umbrella, putting ltout, whl was the most serious Injury Inflicted on at body during the love-feast. W. C. McGowan, Esq , represented the 11 Mcintosh aud his followers. Win. NT. Uraydon, Esq., represented t "Union" or "Shop Crowd." Mr. Gray don spoke tlrst. He contended tl the question ol the legal titles was not bel tried, but urged that his clients were in p seslon, and should not have been disturb All the witnesses on the other side admit that they had seen the piinted progra which Included the whole day. They, the fore, knew his clients were there aud had p sesiou, and, for the day, at least, had 1 right to worship without beingintefered w by Mcintosh. That there would have been trouble, if Mcintosh had staid away. Mr. McGowan made a very ellectlve spei in behalf of bis clients, and directed his forts to convince the Court that Dea< Thomson's zeal In using his stick was cause of the trouble, and that he, and uol clients, should be punished. His Honor, Mayor Hill, requested Dea< Thomson to stand up. The Deacon was lit $ ">. The Mayor then requested the Itev. Mc tosh to stand up. The preacher was fined because of his language to a brother preacb which language the Mayor thought to be ] polite or discourteous. He said that there were perhaps fo others who deserved to be punished, and bardly knew how to mete out exact j tice where so many were lnvoiv It was difficult to apportion the Individ degrees ol guilt, and he would just let whole matter pass, except a* above. On motion ol Mr. McGowun, which motl he contended was supported by the testii ny, the Mayor passed un order pronounc the church a public nuisance, and orderlni closed, until such time as it might be sold der foreclosure, by order of the Court. $,The life you live now is all tbe ra< worth living because it opens intc life that will never end, aud the 1 letter of the word "time" is the fi letter of the word "eternity." Pesslmism-is the philosophy w which we regard our neighbors ; a optimism is that with which we regi ourselves. Everything God sees in us t world will someday know, unless is sooner blotted out by the blood Christ. The devil thinks he has gained point when he can make a Christi look as though hrist had never co out of the grave. The preacher who can tell the a ners that God loves them will i have to advertise in the newspapers get a congregation. In impunging ihe motives of oth we invariably advertise our own. is tbe hypocrite that is always acc iug men of hypocrisy.?LafFerty. Boys, remember that you grow oh every day, and if you have bad hab they grow older too, and the ol< both get, the harder they are to se rate. If you try to make tneu uudersti the gospel you will fail, but if y preach it with a heart on fire w love for their souls, you v succeed. When an ignorant fellow disrega the ordinary rules of politeness, call him a brute. When a coll bred man claims the right to be < courteous, we call him a genius Lafl'erty. The best way for a boy to learn value of money is to make it, by lis licks, before lie spends it. Jioys ne know the value of money made other people's labor. Ninety-nine of every hundred j mius will readily assent to all denunciations of war that may uttered ; but as soon as a scare of a kind is started, the bulldog insti comes into play and reason leaves stage for a time. The whitest robes in heaven will found on those that have been bapti: with suffering and bathed in tec "Whoare these which are arrayed white robes, and whence came the These are they which caiue up out the great tribulation."

HOME, SWEET HOME. op- Knma,v by a Ijovcly Young: l/r(lj UOU Whowe Nodenly is Only Equally by Hep Orace of Manner. IltS . The home is the power which govern a U 'ne> world. tlu- All the social and moral laws of our con moo civilization revolve around tbe home. It Is the sobool in which we are taught s< we clal progress. >m- The leading reformers have made efforts i I js direct the power that rules tbe home, i To a certain extent we are all reformer ller and for thai reason we should strive to uaab en- tbe world belter. ian 11 would be folly for all to adopt the sam . plant, therefore let some work in one wa; De and some in another, but we should all begl i be in our own homes. en. Let home be a cheerful sunshiny plac where sweet dispositions and various meat l'e* of Improvement are always iound; and thei iier those who form our home circle, when thel a. lots are cast in other places, will exclaim wit . Earl of Orrery?"One day paused under oc tne OWD roof, with friends, and our family, : Use worth a thousand in another place." j]0 Our parental domicile is tbe place w , should enjoy all the best things of lite; tber 'e9i lore our cheerfulness should not be reverse iUt. for society, nor the BMMblne shut out excei iin- when we have visitors. , Pestaloz/.l says?"Our home Joys are th ,i0* most delightful earth affords." ?ht How many to-day are tossed about by th ind PitlleaH storms of error and vice, becaus home was not made pleasant and attractiv ise- for them. We should be grateful that, it is not with i as it was in yaars of 'ong ago. Then ltwa ? thought that parenU) bad performed their di us- ties to their families when they had fed an 'OU protected them; but, now the duty does m end there, as it is now recognized as a fa< that we possesb hungry minds which must b satisfied. Therefore we roust labor to furnia ife, our homes with good reading. uo Where we find good books we will see tb " "candle of improvement" steadily burnlni We and we can rest assured that, from tbnt hom to will go men and women who will be Rbiuln k lights in the highest walks of life. . In such a home we weave memories tha Itw can never be lost in the "Sea of Oblivion, to but will cause us to say with Oliver Wende jat H?"De?a "Home of my childhood ! bow affection cling lp. And hovers round thee with her serapl '& wings! be- Dearer thy bills though clad la autumi he browning. Than fairer summit# which cedars crown." 88 One of tbe essentials in making up a we 4I1f ordered home Is kind words. We should speak kindly at all times. It a -PS ways brightens tbe dark places and causes u to glide smoothly over tne rugged places o nv life's pathway. 1* We should speak kindly more especially a ire night, for who knows, that, ere tbedawnln tin of another morning one of tbe dear ones ma, be called to his or her eternal home, and alas ,? it would be too late to plead for the swee lie words "I forelve." which come like the bain no of Gllead to a wounded heart. In addition to kind words there 1b the high ly prized well done which ought to be use o'tener In our associations with the love ife ones at home. _ After Benjuroln West had become far-fame rJ and had bung his pictures Id Royal Acade 80 mles, he remarked to some one. "A kiss fron re- m.v mother made me a painter." np Our fathers and mothers appreciate a wel done from their children, and It often cheer IV- them to know that, In the Imbecility of og jg and surrounded by all the Improvements c t modern times, their work Is still approved. I01, Napoleon knew the value of praise am 10- medals of honor. One of bis veterans lay dj he on the battle field when the grand cross c i the "Legion of Honor" was given him fron 18 the Emperor's own bands, be exclaimed "Now, I die satisfied." ie- And now that our earthly homes are onl, temporary lodging places, we must seek i lfcs home In the cliy which bath foundation ey whose builder Is God. eD "Seek ye a home in that radiant sphere, jet Which through change and time thou sbal ie- ever retain." - Christina. jeJ Port Royal and Western Carolina R.I Iff- Augusta and Asheville Short Line. ,0r J.
