DEAR HERALD-After an absene of three weeks we again find oui selves within the sacred precincts o home. 'Ve seldom seek respit from the countless cares with whic life work burdens us, but long wear, weeks of anxious - watching by th sick bed had rendered us tired, s tired, and naturally our thought turned to beautiful health-givin; Glenns. So one bright Septein ber morning we bade the old hom good bye, and after a rapid transi found ourselves at this waterin; plVe pf well earned, far-famed ce] ebrity. We reached it just as th sunset was resting in benedictioi on.its glorious trees and the larg hotel situated on a beautiful -mi nence, spread out its white wing: in the dusky eveiiing like dove of peace, bidding us weicom to its hospitable portals. We wen tired, oh, so tired, and entering th, pleasant room awaiting us, laid weary headton the window, watche< the' nightfall softly gather, and th myriad of fair lights gleam out ii the deepening darkness. I-ow oftei in life do we find words too smal to express the needs of the huma1 heart, and in this instance, I fee nlost fully their poverty and inad equacy to describe'charming Glenn' and its lovely surroundings The spring with its . sparklin= water, which has brought health anc gladness to so many hearts; th spring which like unto the balm o Gilead is for the healing of mani nations; the lovely walks, the gran< majestic trees, made vocal with th sweet songs of countless fores birds; the grey suntinted hills the delicate ferns, found deep dowi in dark ravines, and nestled mi< moss covered rocks, all filled ou heart with a pleasure so intensel! sweet as to be inexpressible. The] when the S.abbatic stillness. tok that the day of rest had come, thi hallowed day of all the seven, w< gathered in the chapel (built by thu present proprietors) and worshippet God in. all the beauty of holi ness. Again in the solemn still ness of shadowy eve, gallan men and fair maidens gatheret in the spacious parlors an< sang the songs of Zion, like untu the sweet singers of Israel, an< methought as the rich voices rosi and swelled, waking the echoes o night, I wonder, ah I wonder, i they will all meet an unbrokei baud Just beyond where the streets arc all golde: Awaiting the-weary feet, Where the ang'el's glad hallelujahs Way-worn pilgrins greet. Tradition. gives us the followin; legend of Glenn Springs, whici will be read with interest by man: throughout our sunny land who hav, drunk of its healing waters, an<( lingered near the shade of'its ma jestic oaks. - Tradition says that in 1764, ove a century ago, when the wild dee and other denizens of the fores were plentiful in the district o Spartanburg, old hunters observeu trails converging from all points a the compass to a certain marsh; cove at the base of a hill, where th celebrated spring is now situated To this mearsh these wild animal were in the habit, during the spin; and snmmer of resorting to drin] the water that ran from it, an' many an antlered buck lost his life in caring for his health. The cal tle too belonging, to the early sei ters had the same proclivity, an, when missing were sought and it variably found near what was the known as the Ponder marsh. Sul sequently the spring was discovere and the people began to imitate th cattle in drinking the water, whos curative powers they soon learne to value, finding it efficacious i manifold ways, and a soverign ren edy for all -eruptive diseases. S Glenns obtained more than loci notoriety and for long years he been transmitted a valuable hei: loom from one to another until: has reached the present gentli manly proprietors, Messrs. Simpso & Simpson, who by their genih manners, high-bre~d courtesy, an and thoughtful consideration f< their gnests, at once combine tLi comforts of home with the coa veniences of a hotel. During the re cent season more than eleven _ hundred guests have registerd on their book, while more than twelve hundred have frequented the spring for the benefit of its wonderful water. May every successive year bring them increasing and deserv. ed prosperity. The grounds are being beautifully laid out and sown in grass, so that the grass mats will appear as if a Musul man had spread a carpet green, whereon for angels feet to tread in prayer. and the daisies and vio lets, these jewels of the floral world, will vie with each other to make the spot one of peculiar lovliness. Far adown in the evergreen glades and forests dense, the Virginia creeper clasps in her tenacious embrace the rugged trees, while graceful ivy and flowering clematis clamber in wild profusion. Ah, an earthly Eden, a perfect Arcadia is beautiful Glenns. 'Tis seldom in the journey of life that you meet with so pleasant a party as we found there. Some of the brightest ornaments that gild Southern society, genius, wit and beauty, each held sway and the hours flew by on golden wings. f And I wonder, au 1 wonder. when we shall meet again; ah shall we hail in mid ocean but to steer far apart on life's vast sea ? For two brief weeks we lingered in this beautiful section of country exploring fern gemmed ravines, climbing grey hills, gathering peb bles from the bed of purling streams, chestnuts from high towering trees and wild flowers from the dew-lined valleys. But all too quickly the days sped by. The last ramble was 1 taken, the last song sung, the last words spoken to the many pleasant friends' who had crept into our heart of hearts, and we stood alone by the dear old spring with its saline waters, wondering if ever we should stand there again, know ing so well what a world of change it is. But the leaves whispered 1 softly in the golden gloaming. the brook rippled on over its rocky bed, and a thousand voices of night seemed to echo I wonder, al I won der.

HIRAM'S VISIT. '-Going to git married, be you, Hiram ?" Hiram Honeydew colored at the abrupt question. )ut he answered. -truthfully : "I don't see '.'i>at else I kin do, Aut Peggy. Si: te Susan.is bent on a-marryin' the . chool-teacha.. an' a-goin' off to th.e Black Hills or som'eres away cut of all creation. An' here's all the fall work a-comin on-that medder hay to stack, an' corn to cut, pumkins to gether an' rall them windfr.lis an' Siberian crabs to make up in cider fur the apple-buttur, an-' no help to be got fur love or money. An' it stands 1to reason 1 can t tend the farm and cook the vittles. too. So I thought soon as thrashin' was over-you've promised to stay till then, Aunt Peggy-an' then I thought I'd go round son'eres nigh about Clover SCreek, where some of our kinfolks llive, an' stay a week or so,-an' git --a-a-somebody - that can house keep an' the like-do the milkin' e an' churnin', 'tend to puttin' up r fruit, makin' appk-butter, take keer I of the chickens o'n' ducks, an' do f the cookin' an' cleanin'. Sister I Susan was a powerful good house f keeper, an' she couldn't be beat ra-cookin', either. If I could find a m good sort of a wo;.an that 'ud cook . ekal to -Susan, 1 wouldn't mind s a-marryin' her." ;"Humuph ! So you expect to git a i wife an' a geod one, too, in a week i or two, hey?~ You're a gumip, Hi , ram Honeyd aw, an' nothin' else. - Besides, you ou:ght to git a wifei -you could heer ur, as well as a good housekee cper. Housekeepin' -an' cook~in.' ain't everything, I tell 1 you. There's s chx a thing as affek Sshin between man and wife." i But Hiram scouted at this idea. e "One woman is the same as e another to me," he returned, loftily. "I want a housekeeper, an' that's a why I'm a-goin' to marry at all." <-")Val then, Hiram, if you're brumd an' determined to go an' I hunt up a wife that a-way, mebbe I s kin help you a little. I knowed -the folks about Clover Creek like a t book when yer Uncle Eli was alive, - an' we lived on the old-Honeydew a farm. An' thar was Mahala Nut ter. She married Job Perky, an' they bought a farm on Clover Hill, r tother side the creck. There wan't e nobody could beat Mahala a house - w pi' hm days, an' most likely her darter, Marthy Jane, hes tuck after her. They are sort o' kin folks c' yourn, too. Mahaly was yer Uncle Eli's own cousin. An' ef you like, I'll write 'em a few lines, an' tell 'em you're a-comin' an' sort o' perpare 'em, fur nobody likes to hey conp'ny onexpected." And so it was settled, much to Hiram's. relief, and he whetted his scythe and went out to mow a feed of green clover for his horses with a lighter heart than he had had for a week. For he had made up his mind that if Martha Jane Perky was as good a housekeeper as Aunt Peggy said, he would bring her home with him as Mrs. Honeydew in a week's time. if she was willing. And no doubt she wouid be, for IIiram was quite a good.looking man, with pleasant brown eyes, curly brown hair, and a thick, brown moustache. Moreover he was "well-tc-do," and almost any of the girls in his own neighborhood would have jumped at the chance of presiding over 'is broad acres and pictures que cottage farm-house, half buried in sugar-maples and tall Lollard poplar-trees. But to Hiram, as to most others, distance lent enchantment to the view, and he was "bound and de termined," as Aunt Peggy had said, to seek his fate in some of the wide old farm-houses dotting the fertile borders of Clover Creek. ""He'll be a mighty good ketch fur you an' no 'mistake, Marthy Jane," commented Mrs. Perky, when Aunt Peggy's letter had been duly received and read. "A mighty good ketch an' you must do your best to ketch him. 'Tain't often a gal has sech a chance throwed at her head, and if you have -got a mite o' pluck about you, you won't let them stuck-up Briggses git ahead of you. Delilah Briggs would give her-ears to git ahead of you, I'll bet a button !" To which bit of logic Martha Jane assenteil with a toss of her head, and the assurance that Delilah Briggs, nor no one else, wasn't a goin' to git ahead of her. Consequently. when farmer Per ky drove his gray team to the gate, with Hiram Honeydew on the seat beside him, the necessary prepara tions had already been made floors scoured. baking done, and a substantial country dinner, with a dessert of apple-dumplings and sweet-cream sauce, ready to be served. While Martha Jane, in a pink plaid frock, with fluted "ruffles, stood waiting to welcome the ex pected guest. "She's mortal humly," thought Hiram, as he sat smoking, -after dinner, on the porch, and~ mentally reviewing Martha Jane's narrow forehead, hard black eyes and high colored cheeks. "But, then, I ain'ji. a-lookin' out fur beauty, an' if she suits me other ways, I reckin 'taint't no great matter how she looks. A girl with them kind of eyes an' a mahog any colored skin kin do the chores an make butter, an' sech, as good as if she had blue eyes an' goldf lookin' hair, like that girl they call Hitty, that brought in the dumplin's an' passed round the dip fur 'em at 'dinner to-day. She's the hired girl, I reckin. 'T any rate I ain't got time to hunt round much, an'- I reckin Marthy Jane- won' minmd changin' her name to Honeydew afore long, an' I've got to hurry up I ain't got no time to waste a-courtin'. I reckin if nothin' hap pens we kin be married in a week, an' git back home. I don't like to stay here a-settin' round doin' noth in', with all the fall work a-gittin' behind at the farm." "Oh, dear?" Down through the long grass and crimson clover-beds, under scrubby haws and tall persimmon trees, went Hitty Mavis, a deep caped sunbonnet shading her violet eyes and tangled yellow curls. She was after t.he cows standing knee-deep in the tall aftermath, where they had been turned for pasturage after the meadow hay was cut. "Oh, dear !" sighed Hitty again, "I'm so tired. and here's the cows to drive home, milking to do, sponge to set for the baking to-morrow, and goodness knows what else, and-Oh !" She started back, with a little scream, for seated on the fence. under the shadow of a crimson leaf:ed sassifras-tree, sait Hiram Honydew, cooly watching her. Hitty's cheeks 'turned from pink to scarlet as she met the admiring glances of his frank, brown eyes, and her heart beat faster than corn mon. But Hty was a sensible girl, so she said, "Good evening, Mr. Honeydew !" quite coolly, and be gan driving home the cows. So they walked together through the velvety aftermath, 'dotted with scarlet butterfly-weed, and crimson petaled "nigger-heads," the lowing cows filing slowly ' ome, lazily chewing their euds. a-.d switching their tils1 at the flies. Hiram let down the bars, and turned the cows into the yard, while Hitty brought out the milk pails from under a bunch of burdock leaves, where she had left them. And somehow, in spite of the milking and setting the sponge, and doing up the chores, Hitty's heart beat more lightly than it had for may a day. And instead~ of one week Hiram Honeydew stayed two, but still Martha Jane had not been invited to change her name. "She's a mighty good house keeper," thought Hiram, medita tively. "If little Hitty could only cook 'an' housekeep as goot as her. I-don't-know-" le ended by building a castle in t'e air, wherein Hitty Mavis, with her violet eyes, and ""goldy" col ored hair, was the chief figure. "Hitty Mavis !" Martha Jane's hard, black eyes f looking harder than ever, and her 2 sharp features seemed sharper still as she bounced wrathfully into the t kitchen where Hitty sat slicing a T bowl of yellow Crawford peaches for supper. "You kin pack up you duds and i go ! You a-settin' up to ketch a beau, as if Hiram Honeydew would look at you." "I-Martha Jane, what on earth do you mean?" Hitty's eyes expanded, and the pink in her cheeks deepened to a glowing scarlet. "You know well enough what I mean !" sneered Martha. "You needn't to look so innercent, like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, an' you a-strainin' every nerve to ketch Hiram Honeydew-a-cajolin' him to help you milk, an' drive up the cows, an' the like. It's jest like your owdacious doin's, an' you kin pack up an' leave-right away, too!" "But I don't know where to go!" Iitty's heart beat like a fright ened robin's at the thought of be. ing driven friendless into the world, but Martha Jane was im placable. "It's nothin' to me where you go, so you leave here," she sniffed, as she flounced angrily away. "Go with me, Hitty !" said Hiram Honeydew stepped - suddenly into t the little kitchen. "Go with me, Hitty, and be my wife." Hitty's cheeks grew redder than before, but she did not draw away from his offered embrace. "Not gone yet?,' cried a shrill voice, as the door was jerked vic: iously open. "Didn't I tell you to pack up---Oh, Mr. Hopeydew, you here? Come and have tea-we're a-waitin' fur you." "Excuse me !" was the cold re ply. "I shall just have time to take my wite-that is to be-over to the parsonage. Will you come to the wedding?" But, with a scornful sniff and toss of her head, Martha Jane flounced off again. "An' so you didn't marry Ma hala's darter, after all !" cried Aunt Peggy, who was waitinig to 4 receive them.3 -'No-no !" stammered Hiram. Hit ty kin learn to keep house, -I1 reckin-" "Learn?" cried Hitty. "Why, I did all the .,housekeeping at Auntf Mahala's. She is my aunt, though] they wouldn't let me call her so.] Marthy Jane never did a lick of] work in her life."] And so Hiram Honeydew got a wife and a housekeeper all in one, after all.] COLORED PnoyxsIoNs.-Every man has his favorite story, and the< Hon. Roswell P. Flower, of Newi York, tells the following : "One day an old negro, clad in t rags, and carrying a burden on his head, ambled into' the executiveJ chamber, and dropped his load on t the floor. Stepping toward the gov ernor, he said: "Em you de gubner, sah?" Being answered in the affirmative, I he said : "If dat am a fac' I'se glad tert meet yer. Yer see I libs way upi dar in de back ob de country, and is a poor man, sah. I h'ar .dar is some pervishuns in de cons'tution fer de culled man, and I am hiar to get some ob emsa. "MIave you heard any bad news?" asked a minister's wife of her hus band, as he entered the house, look ing a little despondent. "Yes," the good man replied, "I have; the marriage of young Smith and the Begley girl is put off until next1 year." A Kansas woman was upbraiding her husband when a cyclone hove in sight, and, with a sigh of relief, the unhappy man ran out into its] path and was safely blown into the next county. "Dear lady, please help an unfor tunate man. I ain't had no work at my trade since last winter." "Poor man ! What is your trade?" "Shoeln' snow, mum." uU Re*izs. HIGH DAY AT ST. LUKE'S. Sunday, Oct. 14th. was a high lay at St. Luke's in Newberry ounty, S. C. The beautiful church vas solemnly dedicated to the ser rice of the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost in the presence of, )erhaps, 500 persons. The dedica ion sermon was preached by Rev. F. A. Sligh, and the pastor was Lssisted in the dedication also-by rof. H. Dysingcr, who preadhed n the afternoon. The two sermons >y Rev. Sligh and that by Profes or Dysinger .were excellent and ave general satisfaction. Ten - members were received into 'll fellowship by the pastor,- mak ng 30 received by him during the 'ear. The communion was the largest ver witnessed at St. Luke's, about 00 surrounding the Lord's table. There was general rejoicing, and he feast of dedication was kept rith glad hearts. The pastor read the following >aper which shows in brief the con lition of the congregation ; SKETC1 OQ ST, LUKE'S CHURCH. In the year 1827, three years af er the organization of the S: C. iynod. Rev. J. D. Scheck was ap ointed a missionary and ordered 9 visit vacant congregations and rganize new ones. In June of hat year he visited the neighbor. ood of the Bedenbaughs And Boo ers and was so, much encouraged hat he organizeq a congregation q a log church, built as a union ouse of worship about a mile ;outheast of where St. Luke's now tands. After the. organization of he church, Rev. John G. Schwartz ras called as pastor of the new ociety, and in 1828 the first St. .uke's was built on the spot where he graveyard now stands. The ouse soon proved to be too small or the growing congregation, and t was enlarged by the addition of rings on the sides. The rapid in rease of the congregation soon de nanded a still larger house, and on lertthe ncey V. Berley, that portion of the con regation residing in the North astern end of the charge purchased he church and removed- it into heir midst, and were organized into separate congregation called Col >ny church, which has grown into a trong congregation. The members of St. Luke's in he meantime erected a large and ommodious house of worship which ias stood till the present. - It hat een remodeled and beautified, and s this day rededicated to the scr ice of that God whose mercy and oodness we, with grateful hearts, cknowledge. The church has been served by .4 pastors, viz,, Revs. J. D. Scheck, r. G. Schwartz, J. Moser, .G. W. -larter, Herman Aull, W. Berly, r. C. H-ope, J. B. Anthony, J. P. dlargart, T. S. Boinest, J. A. Sligh, r. L. Smithdeal, J. Hawkins, H. S. ~Vingard, and J, D. Bowles. -Four. of the pasters were twice :alled to serve the chufrch, viz., J. dfoser, W. Berley, T. S. Boinest and J. Hawkiins, who is the present >astor. Since the organization St. Luke's ias furnished,. twelve of her sons or the gospel ministry, viz., Elijah simore. Elijah Hawkins, P. W. iawkins, S. R. Sheppard, Levi. 3edenbaugh, S.,W. Bedenbaugh, J. lawkins, J. D. Boozer, C. P. Boo er, Z. W.: Bedenbaugh, L. P. Haw :ins and Benjamin Boozer. J. D. ~oozer labored in the ministry but short time, and then turned his ~ttention to the practice of medi ine. Benjamin Boozer was reared n St. Luke's church, but feeling imself called- to the gospel minis ry, and despairing of all hope of ecuring the proper training in the lutheran church, he nited with he Methodist church and labored rith success in the ministry until ast year, when he was called to 'est, respected and lamented by his >rethren. Of the others, six have gone to heir reward. Elijah Elmore died n Georgia. Elijalt Hawkins in Vir ~inia, P. W. Hawkins in -West ['ennessee, L. Bedenbaugh in Geor ia, S. R. Sheppard in Mississippi, Lnd S. W. Bedenbaugh in Florida. -While St. Luke's has thus given ier sons to the church, pad her nembers have scattered themselves uto various parts of our c6untry, Lud her own graveyards have grad ially filled with her departed, she s strcnger and more vigorous to laLy than at any former period of erei bistory. In blessing others she ias blessed herself. And to.day ye join in this feast of dedication, with a membership of over 300, ith possibilities of future useful iess that can scarcely be estimated. Uet us then, while we rededicate >ur beautiful temple to the worship >f Almighty God, reconsecrste our ielves to His service, that we may, ndeed, enjoy not only this occa non, but the 'continued smiles of mur kind heavenly Father, and be a till greater blessing to the world. 4t.
