How ?weet to trust io Jesus!
To know uo trust boside;
To find in linn a rcfugo,
Our weary soul to hide
To leau on Lovo Eternal,
And in that love abide.
How s weet to follow Jcsusl
To seek no otbor road;
Obediently and trustingly
To walk tho path Ho trod)
'Tis hallowed by Ills footprints;
And nighest unto God.
Ahl then to leam of Jesus*
This is a topic most sweet;
To ohooso thc "better portion,"
Like Mary ot Iiis feet,
With soul oud body sanctified,
For His blest usc mudo meet.
'Tis SWOOt to work for Jesus,
To spread abroad His fume;
To bo for Him ambassadors,
Hearing His cross and shume,
That to the lost and perishing
His lovo wo may proclaim.
Aod as wo work for Jesus,
Wo wait. His fuco to scej
The Morning Star has risen,
Tho night's dark shadows flee,
"A little while" aud wo shall dwell
With Him eternally.
I'ai'cutal (Julies.
Parents oro the most important individu
als ia every community. Without reflco
lion, some may think this au unguarded
expression; but when properly considered,
it will be found to bo only tho unvarnished
truth. The influence of nearly all of thu
human huntly is restricted, both in extent
and duration. Even thoso individuals who
in their owu community aro regarded as
model fanners, learned jurists, cloquout
divines, or skillful workmen in any of tho
manual labor avocations of life, uro scarcely
knowu a few miles beyond tho regiou in
whioh they were born, livery century
produces only a few mon who ex.loise u
national influence. It matters not hew
extensive tim influence of most men, in (he
ordinary pursuits of lifo may bo, their iuflu
unco generally descends with thom to the
gravo. Who knows anything about tho
farmers, tho lawyers, tho physicians, tho
diviucs, or the merchants who flourished
half a century ago? Who cares anything
pbotit them? They Ko I ri their graves for
gotlsn hy thc living. Even their names
ure unknown. As parent*, however, their
influence descends from generation to gene
ration. "Jjikc parents li'.co children and
grandchildren," .nay bu bad English, but it
is good sonso. Lu tho features, tones of
voice, and motions of their bodieo, children
generally resemble their parents. Leading
features ure perpetuated for generations.
8on3 omi daughters aro recognized by the
resemblance which they bear to their pro
genitor?.
This alTcote society very little, and did
thc influcnoo of parents cease herc, thu
relationship between parent and child would
hoof trivial importance. Such, however,
is not tho ouse. When tho father and
motlier dio, they oeaso, in tho majority of
oases, to exercise any influence only as
parants. Their ranimera and customs they
bequeath to their children. On all ques
tions of morality, children think and aot as
their parents think and act. Death may
remove our parents from this world, but it
cannot mako us belicvo that our parents
entertaiuod heterodox theories or practiced
dangerous prooopts. It matters not who may
ho wrong, cither in theory or practice, wo
instinctively regard our parents ns being
right in both.
Such being tho influence whioh parents
oxoroisc over their ohildron, it is their duty
to set boforo them a decent example. It is
not to be wondered at that so many boys,
not to mention the girls, turn out so badly.
They learn to be bad from thoso whom it is
their duty to oboy implicitly. Ohildron
loora tho larger number of their bad habits
from their father and mother. If parents
really desire their ohildron to grow up and
become docent members of society, they
tnust first bo decent themselves. It is true
tboro aro exceptions to nearly all rules.
.Sometimes it is tho ease that an indecent
fattier rears a dcoent son; and sometimes tho
opposite is tho oaso. Such oases eon bo
pointed to only as exceptions. Tho rule is,
always has been, and always will bo, that
tho sons are liko tho fathors and tho daugh
ters Uko tho mothers.
Tho first lessons in citizenship arc learned
around tho family fireside, and tho teachers
aro tho parents. It is at homo that children
i lon ti to oboy, and ododienoo is tho primo
Unlimber in good oitisionship. Tho unruly
child must moko an unruly grown person.
Who ohild that is not ruled by its paronts,
jijiay mako, whon grown, a slave. It can
'tinily make a citizen. Uenoo, paronts oro
oder obligations to teach their children to
boy. In their own homes, parents should
nko their commands rospootod. In tho
ily, tho parental authority is abovo any
tor oxoopt that of God. It is, sinoo this
'ho oaso, tho duty of paints to oommand
oxaot scrupulous obedicnoo to their
monds.
o' duty of paronts to their ohildron) in
W point of viow, is far greater than in
Hhor xospcot. Somo persons profond
v?k that paronts should oxoroiso no
bntrol over their ohildron at all.

thc conference there. Ho was, of courso,
on a stage, nnd uno bright morning Ito
reached a bronkfust houso to Hud it in
flames. Tho Chcycuno Indians hud just
?nado a raid on tho place, and had destroyed
things generally. Tho good bishop found
a poor Methodist proaohcr sitting quite
disconsolate near tho ruius. Tho Indians
had robbed him of his horse and wagon.

Senator Hill, of Ocorgiu, has writton a
letter, in which ho sharply arraigns Pren
nent Hayos for tho "gross misuso of hi's patro?
nogo." Hr. Hill says tho President "has
failed bcoauso ho hus shown himself u'torly
unequal to his opportunity; because bo has
utterly failed to realize that tho Chiof Magia -
trato of a great country has no personal
friends, no personal enemies, and owes no
personal obligations only to his country. He
lins thrown away thu grandest opportunity
over given lo a man, only that ho might give
offloea nnd rewards to as worthless a sot ol
rapscallions as ovor disgraced humanity;" "a
set of mon," ho adds, "who wcro tho guilty
concoctors of tho frauds in tho South, bv thc
help of which Mr. Hayes reached tho While
Houso."
Of thc uncertainty of suoccss we have
examples every day before us. Scarcely
can a man tum his eyes upon the world
without observing tho sudden rotation of
affairs-the ruin of the affluent, thc down
fall of tho high: and it may reasonably bc
hoped that no mon to whom tho opportu
nities of such observation occur, can forbear
applying them to his own condition, nnd
reflecting that what hu now conten? plates
in another, ho may in a few days experience
himself.
You may hove strong, caglo eyed faith;
well, you may probably bo enabled to do u
great many things in life, to work wonders
to trample on impossibilities. You mny
havo sanguine hope-well, your lifo will
pass brightly, not gloomily. But thc vision
of God us ho is, to neu tho King in bis
beauty, is vouchsafed not to soieuoo, nor to
talent, but only to purity and love.

informed him that ho was "wanted" in
South Carolina, and took him info custody,
bringing him to Edgclicld County, whero

How A WOMAN THIES ON NEW SHOES.
- When a woman hus a new pair-.of shoes
sent home BIIC performs altogether diffe
rently from a mun. Sho never shoves her
tees into them, aud yanks until pho is red in
thc fuco and ult out of breath, und then
gees stumping und kicking around, but
carefully pulls them on part-way, twiohes
them off again to take a lost look and sec if
she hus got tho right ouc, pulls them on
again, looks ut them dreamily, says they
oro just right, thcu takes another look,
suddenly to smooth out a wrinkle, twists
around and surveys them sideways, ex?
claims, "Morey, how loose they ure!" looks
at them again square in front, works her
foot around so they won't hurt her quite so
much, takes them off, looks at tho heel,
tho too, tho bottom and thc inside, pu'.s
them on again, walks up and down thc room
onco or twice, remarks to her better half
that she wou't havo them at any price, tilts
down the mirror so she eau sec how thoy
look, turns in ovcry possible direction aud
nearly dislocates her neck trying to seo how
they look from that way, backs off, steps
up again, takes thirty or forty farewell
looks, say3 they make her feet look awful
big and never will do in the world, puts
them off and on throe or four times more,
asks her husband what ho thinks about it
and then pays no attention to what ho says,
goes over it all again, and finally says she
will"tnke thom. It's a very simple matter,
indeed.

liia FARMING.-A correspondent of a
Western newspaper describes a farm near
Fargo, Dakota, embracing about 100,000
acres, owned by a half dozen capitalists, of
whom Georgo W. Cass, of this city, is one.
It is divided into sections of 2,000 acres,
each section having its superintendent and
assistants, and being managed with thc
most exact system. All tho latest improve
ments in farming havo been introduced,
including telegraph and telephone, comma
' nioatiug with different purts of thc vast
\ oreo. This year 13,000 acres of wheal
\ hove been planted and harvested, ond next
year 20,000 acres will bc planted. Tho
yield lins been twenty live bushels to the
acre, briugiog $1 per bushel, two thirds of j
which is net profit. Tho chief superinten
dent has bceu shipping here by way of j
Duluth twenty car louds of wheat tinily.
Ho expects to havo iu due time -10,000
acres under cultivation, apd to bring his
annual production of wheat up to n round
1,000,000 bushels. There oro many culti

Thc reading of suoh acoounts reminds us of
"Big Tuosdny" in Abbeville Although,
from tho statements in tho Register and tho
News and Courier tho Sumter exoitomont

a wholo battalion of homo modo Radicals',.
and then wo had no suoh fearless leaders on
our sides as tho Sumter Democracy had.
