FOU THK COURIER. Soraps for Children-No. 6. DEAR Cnti.DUKN : Tho word Jewel shall form tho themo of tho present letter. A jewel is a vory precious thing. Truth is a jewel. Wo wish uow to call your altontion to a few of this sort of jewels : 1. " God made mo," ia a truth you must lay up in your hearts. I havo met sotne great big children who didn't, have thia jewel couldn't tell who made them. Not so with you is it? I guess you can say " God mado man's body of tho dust of tho ground and breathed into II?B nostrils the breath of life and mau became a living soul." Can't you ? Well, now let us seo. 2. " Christ died for mo," is another pre cious jewel. Looking into a pretty little book this morning I saw two pioturcs close togeth er. Tho ono was a picture of thc brnzen ser pent on a pole j the other, of our Lord Jesus Christ on tho Crosr. The children of Israel sinned against God in tho wilderness. God sont poisonous serpents to bite them. The Israelites begged Moses to pray to God for thom. God told Moses to make a serpent out of brass and put it on a polo and set it up in tho midst of thc camp and to toll all those who were bittcu to look up to the brazen ser pent and Uvo. Those who looked, lived. Those who would not look, died. Wo are all sinful. That old serpent, tho devil, has bitten us. Tho poison of iniquity is in us, destroying the vitals of lifo and hap pi-toss. Is tl.ero no remedy for us ? There is. Turn to tho 3rd chapter and 14th and 15th verses of St. John, and road the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to Nicodemus before tho crucifixion and you will see the way of cure pointed out: " And as Moses lifted up tho serpent in thc wilderness, oven so must tho Son of man be lifted up ; that whomsoev er bclioveth in Him should not perish, but havo eternal lifo." Aud again tho Lord says in His Holy Book, !< Look unto me all ye ends of the earth nod bo yo saved." " Look ing unto Jesus " is believing in Jesus. Those who believe in tho blessed Saviour with tho heart have the poison of sin removed and spir itual health and lifo restored. Thoso who will not look to Jesus-will notbclievoin tho prooioua blood of Chtist, abide in spiritual death and go On to eternal death. O then, lot us look up .to thc Lord Jesus Christ who once died for us, but now ever Hvos in Heaven to intercedo for us. Lot us love and servo Htm hore that wo inay praise Him forever. 8. "God, tho Holy Ghost, sanctifies mo," is another truth. He " convinces " us " of sin, of righteousness and of judgment to como." He does this by applying tho word of God to our conaoienccs. The " word of God " is " tho sword of tho Spirit." With this sword the Good Spirit slays the sinner shows him that he isa sinner. "The en trance of Thy word giveth light." He pours light into tho dark soul, by which light we see our sinfulness. He thus shows us the necessity of repontaucc, faith, prayer and other duties found iu tho Bible. Ile impresses us with . the necessity of coming to Christ. Thus tho Fathor draws us by His Spirit with cords of love tenderly. If wo follow on to know the Lord wo shall bo led into nil the truth that we lnny know the truth as it is in Jesus-which truth shall make us free from all our sins and wo sholl bo sanctified and made fit for the Master's use. But if we quench tho light vefuso to follow the path of duty shown unto us by its shining brightness-wc cover our selves in spiritual darkness, and if we contin ue to shut our eyes against the light of God and steel our hearts against thc truth till our bodies die, we shall bo wrapped in th*shad ows of eternal darkness, wlioro no ray of oheoring light will overcome, " nor Saviour's voico on?l us to the skies." Hence the Holy Bible says, "Quench not the Spirit." Quench not His light bvt follow tho divine rays and y?u will bo lcd 01 to eternal day. Look up and prny and th"s blessed Spirit will apply tho blood of C.iristand " purge your con science from d'-ad works to servo the living God." JOHN. DISGRACEFUL SV?ENE IN A CHURCH.-Tho Buffalo (New York) " Courier " of tho 20th gives tho following aooount of an er ^ordina ry proceeding that took placo in oi.a of the Roman Catholio Churohos of that c\ty : Tho. corpse of a man named Matthew Haua le, ft leading member of the Church, and also ft member of tho St. Louis Society, was taken to tho Church for burial sorvioos, under the auspices of tho St. Louis Sooiety. The ban uer of the Society was takon to tho Church, Whereupon tho officiating Priost, whoso name, wo loam, was tho euphonious ono of Sohulep c.nokopf, rofused to proceed with tba services unless the banner , was removed from the Church. The Society refused to obey the ordor, and tho Priest retired. Shortly aftoi . (fce ag^vin made his appoaranoo, but was firm in his d?termin?t ion not to proceed with thc services unless the objectionable banner WOP removed, alleging that it was a Masonic ban ner. Our, informant statos that tho congre gation thon roso en masse, that soino began HWoaring, and that others started for the Priost, <who fled from tho Cht?roh and across the yard to his rqsidouco, ol?so At habd, esooping with out personal y.iolcrtoo, although throats of von .gennoo wore hurled nt him. Thojie persons frhd had loft the Church thoa returned, when dtb? Bt. Louis S?o?ety offered..up prayers over dead man, after which tho romain/j were oarricd to their- lost tenting placo.

Jl1 The Questions before the Court Tho question onuie up on Monday boforo Judge Brynn os to the validity of pay monta made under proooodings in tho South Caroli na Courts during tho war, iu Confederate money. The, ouso was n suit by T. ll. Ag new, nssiguce, against Mrs. Luoy T. Thomp son, of Spartanburg, widow 6f Iloury Thomp son, Administratrix. During the war, n Bill in Equity, at Spartanburg, was filed, calling in thc creditors of tho Estate of Mr. Thomp son. 'The noto due tho payco, who assigned to tho plaintiff in this ouso, was hied in Court by S. Bobo, attorney, and ugont of puyep. Property (lauds) of tho Estato was sold, and this debt, with that of other creditors, paid off by tho proocods in Confederate money, ns nil the other debta were. Tho Judgo ruled the proceeding of tho Stuto Court not obligatory and directed tho jury to find for thc whole amount of thc note Qgai.net Mrs. Thompson. I Thc amount being under two thousand dollars, no appeal can bo takon ; conscqr ontly, Mrs. Thompson will havo to sell moro property to raise tho money a second time. On Tucsdny, an interesting question wns made boforo tho Court, ns to tho construction of tho Internal llcveuuo Act of Congress of 18G2, which provides inler alia that collo.c j tors shall be appointed in each Stute accord j iog to the number of representatives to which each Stat? is entitled. The offence was charged to be in violation of the provisions of this Act. Arnim and other defendants, in the indictment pleaded that this State not r"?ing entitled to representation in Congress nt thc time of thc Act, was not embraced in its provisions at all, consequently, they are not amenable or answerable to any oh argos of vio lations of laws which Congress itself did not in terms apply to tho State where such viola tions arc alleged to bo committed. Thc point was ably argued for defendants, by Ocncral Gary, of Edgeficld, and Hon. W. D, Porter of Charleston, and replied to by District Attorney, Mr. Corbin, and J. P. Recd, of Anderson, who is associated in the prosecution The Judgo overruled thc plc? principally on tho ground that thc speciiioa of thc Act as to tho number of collector? yta* merely for territorial convenience, and. hud nothing to do with thc authority of Congrosi or tho liability of citizens to pay taxes. [ Oreen ville Enterprise, District Meeting M. E. Church. In pursuance of thc notice published it our columns, thc delegates from tho yarlow churches in the Confcronoo District asscm bled in the Methodist Church of this pine? en last Friday morniug. These meetings hav< have recently inaugurated by the Methodist! in this State, and nre intended to bring to gcthcr repr?sentatives from thc difieren churches in thc Presiding Eider's District and transact such business ns may promoti tho welfare and prosperity of thc denomina tion. This District ombiuccs tho judicial Dis tricts of Anderson, Diekens, Greenville, nnc a portion of Spartanburg, and is known a: thc Greenville District. Wc will not attcmp any synopsis of thc proceedings, as it was im possii i for us to bo in attendance regularly upon iho business sessions. So far ns we beard however, the reports from the various Cir ouits indicated progress in Zion, and an carn cst piety porvading throughout thc severn ohurches. Thc Presiding Elder, Rev. A. Il Stephens, presided over tho deliberations o the body, and everything waa conducted witl Christian harmony and thc zeal character^ tio of our Methodist friends. Capt. J. S Austin, of Greenville, acted as Secretary. Thero were perhaps, over fifty delegates in al , tendance, including tho ministers and la brethren. Thc meeting continued in session from time to time, uutil Monday niornii.0 a , ll o'clock. Rev. Whiteford Smith, D. D.. of Woffor College, Spartanburg, was present by invite tion. Also, Prof. JamcsII. Carltsc, of the sam institution. Tho health of tho first namoi gentleman is rather feeble, but be was suffi cicntly able to participate in thc proceeding of the meeting, and also to give our com mu nityan opportunity to hear him from thc pul pit. His eloquence and learning entitles hiu to the front rank of able diviners, and it wa highly gratifying to know that, while, thc fire of his youth arc somewhat abated, tho occa sion served to rcluiue tho Oinbors of a ".low ing imagination and fervid spirit. Dr. Smitl made several interesting speeches in thc meet ing, and preached to a largo and uttcntivi congregation on Sunday morning. Prof. Carlisle delivered a lecture to th young people of this vicinity ou Sunday af tcrnoon, in tho Baptist Church. Thorc wer several hundred persons present, and for near ly an hour thc audienco was entertained w'tl practical thoughts, vivid imagery nud forcibl illustrations. Prof. C. is an earnest, imprcf sive spcakor, and wins the hearts of his hem ors by ovinoing a deep and abiding interco in thc truths presented. Religious services wero held in tho Mothc dist church every night during thc inoetinj; and tho Baptist and Presbyterian ohurohf were occupied by invitation on tho Sabbath.

We publish below a report of tho onso in volving the great qucstiou of th? liubi?ity of persons on ooutraots for negroes, of which we had something to say last week : Thomas R. Agnow, Assiguoe,t>s, Simpson Robo. This was an notion on a note given for the purohnso money of o negro slavo sold by Mrs. Wofford to tho Dofendunt in 1858, and warranted by ber nt that time to he sound and a slnvo for lifo. Noto for $1,000, interest annually Juc in 18G0, wus assiguod to Plain tiff. Tho defenoo rolicd upon wns a failuro of consideration in that tho negro wurruntod to bo a slave for life, is still alive, but bud boon mndo free And also upon payment-the debt hoing sequestered by tho Government of the Confederate States ns tho proporty of an alien enemy, was paid under compulsion of that Government, while at war with tho Uni ted States. Hon. B. P. Perry appeared for thc Plaintiff. Tho defense was conducted by Messrs. J. P. Recd and Hobo. Tho cuso was rofored to a jury and ably and fully argued by the counsel on both sides. " In his charge, thc Judge said substantially : Thc amount is small; tho piinoiple, of over whelming importance. I should gladly hnvo escaped from thc consideration of this case. Thc settlement of tho question, however it bo settled, will carry poverty homo to somo one. Great investmcuts liciu bouda mid notes giv en for thc purchase money of negroes. In theso, women and children have staked their all. The question, is who shall bear thc loss ? Poverty and hardship must come. In my opinion the hardship must be borue by those who had misfortune to bo owners, lt does not conic within the province of this Court to adjust and equalize thc burdens of the war. That, tant?n i:onipoMret belongs to other than a judicial tribunal. Abolition grew out of thc war--the posi tion of these Southern States in thc war they waged against tho Government. Negroes were employed in many of thc essential cle ments of the war ; they created subsistence for tho armies : erected fortifications, and, in fact, constituted thc indu: trial basis of the great conflict. Tho abolition of slavery thus become a military necessity-emancipation nu inevitable moral result of the war. These States could not bo recognized until they should recognize what tho war had effected. It was competent for the United States to deal with slaves just us with other personal property. The owner must suffer. Whfi suffered when mules or horses were taken ? or cotton burnt or lifted, or ships captured nt sea ? Who, but the owner of such property't Rut thc laws of property, regulating thc rola tionship of debtor and creditor, in thc mattel of the mules, ships or cotton, were not abro gated. Debts or balances due on thc pur chase of such mules, ships or cotton, were nol cancelled. The debtors were not released - Their obligations ream in in force at thu day Thc seller never marie n guarantee against tin action of war. Take, the case of land. A owns a fcc simple. Ile sells and conveys tin title bc got, placing the purchaser in posses sion of all thc incidents of ownership witl which ho himself had benn invested. If tin State, in thc exercise of its right of cmincn domain should take the fee for public uses the seller makes no guarantee against tin State; bo is not hablo for acts of tire Stab or against confiscation of thc United "*Sti'tcs In this case, the ground of defense, failure o consideration does not therefore appear to b 'made out ; tho wnrrantry was in every vic? good at the time it was given; its subsequen failure was due to onuses for which the selle of thc negro was in no wise responsible. Tho other ground of defense, payment b; compulsion under thc Sequestration baw o the Confederate Government, is equally un tenable. That Govern in ont, never had a le gal existence, and payment of tho debt undo its regulations was therefore void. Under these instructions the jury retired and soon returned with the following verdict " We find for tho Plaintiff sixteen hun dred and fifty ono dollars and five cents," tin full amount, with interest.- Greenville 77? terprisc. Brother Crawford's Sermon. "You don't see mo to-day in the. dross allers wear. I come among you as a stranger and nm now tricked out in my store clothes I am not a proud man, but it would bc mor becoming among strangers." After this, bc rained a hymn, in which th congregation joined. Ile then begun his sei mon : " My dear brethren and sisters : First am foremost, I'm gui?? to tell you the affoctiti: partin' I had with my congregation at Rothe Chapel. After I had got through with m farewell sermon, as I come down outcn th pulpit, the old gray-headed brethren and sh tern, who had listened to my voice for twent years, crowded around me, and with sobbio voices and tearful eyes, said-1 Farowcl brothor Crawford !'

" Coorgia Scenes. Old Stanwix tells tho following Georgia story, and vouches for its truthfulness : About thirty-throe and a third yoars ago tho.ro dwelt in ooo of tho rural districts of Georgia an old codger by tho Danie of Butt Cutt Kaylor, who bad formerly enjoyed the honors and emoluments pertaining to the oflioo of Justice of the Peace, tho duties of whioh office ho discharged with acknowledged ability and dignity, and so far ns his neighbors wero "??.nblo of judging, ho appeared to bo a very honest man. He had, however, acquired tho lmbit of " trumping up " uooouuts against the estates of those of Iiis neighbors who were so unfortunate as to "shuflle off their mortal coils" within the bounds of his bailiwick. He had carried the practice to such an ex tent ax to arouse a suspicion in the minds of some of his meddlesome neighbors that there might bc something dead somewhere in " the j "seat Of his-" financial operations. Hob Grogan, who lived in tho neighborhood, and " run " tho post ellice at the cross roads, being something of a wag, and having an idea that tho Squire'? honesty should bo quoted below par, concluded VTith his comrades, to "unearth thc sly old fox," and expose his rascalities. Accordingly Hob pretended to die, was regu larly shrouded and laid out on tho cooling board in the most approved fashion, and sor rowing friends proceeded to spread thc news of his demise, which soon reached the ears of obi But-Cutt. Ho lost no time in repairing to the house of mourning, carrying with him a " full and complete assortment " of first class condolence and sympathy, for gratuitous distribution, among tho members of the be reaved family, and tho many sorrowing friends of the supposed deceased who were present when he arrived. After he had relieved his heart of its bur eil of bealing words, and had succeeded in a tolerable effort at crying, and was about to leave tho scone, he tenderly spoke as follows : " Ah. poor Hob, T'm sorry he died, he wa? a good feller, and, I allua liked bim. When mc and him went to tho races at Augusta now nigh unto two years ago-I loaned bini a hundred dollars to bet onto a bay mare, and he lost and has never paid me a cent of thal money from "?hat day to this. Poor feller, ht forgot it I reckon, but its a honest debt ; ol course I can git it out of his estate, and-" Butt-Cutt didn't finish thc sentence, foi just nt this point Hob, tho corpse, slowly raised up his shroud, and stretching out hil arms toward tho rogue, as if to clutch him yelled : " You are nu infernal old liar, and if-.' The din and roar drowned the rest, and oh Hutt Cutt didn't wait to see or hear any mon but with the hurried exclamation, " goddlem i ty," he shot through the door, hurried to hi: homo, "packed his traps," and not only let' thc neighborhood but the State of Georgia forever.
