'?e First Fishing Parly,
YOUNG INTINERMT.
Yoong people are fond of fishing
Specially when the boys and girls can
st together, and papa and mania are
?t there to keep them under restraint ;
id many a fish has been caught on dry
ind oo these innocent fishing occasions,
ritbout a Hoe, and only a book em
loyed.
The young Rev. had preached at sev?
il churches on fhe circuit, his greatest
[ifficulty being io finding his way-had
jeo lost aid found, and lost again and
mod again-and was now on bis way
the church ou T. Creek, quite a large
treaul. The plan of the circuit fltscrib
the church as small, with a uiember
lip of twenty persons, and Squire C.
the class leader and steward, the
lurch beiug ctiled by his Dame. After
fatiguing ride ot twenty miles he I
?scried the church before him, perched
on thc top of a ro?ky hill, and if j
tinted, would have presented a pretty j
jpearaace, with the majestic stream !
iwitig at thc base of the hill OD which
I was situated, ti a it was neither paint
or gtezed, and was dark and dingy
[pou entering he found a remarkable
logregation, consisting cf about thirty
lung persons, nouc under 15 oor over
years of age, in the proportion of
)out three ladies to every geutlcma:i.
ie question immediately suggested
self, bow is it that the coogregatioo
Ie so nearly the same age? Their
pcarance was intelligent, and every j
ie scrupulously conformed to the
rvices, staodiug to sing aud kneeling
pray. The devout behavior, scrious
\ss and youthfulness of the congrega- j
>nf deeply ioferested the preacher, and
>m the text. "Remember DOW thy
bator in the days of thy youth," ht
?courscd earnestly and faithfully.
>ing the services with the impressiot J
t some pood mm>t have been accotu-*^
ished. Immediately as h? came out
the pulpit, one of the young ladies i
[proached him aud introduced herself;
i thc daughter of Squire C , the ela? j
ider and steward of thc church, who'
red on the opposite side of the creek.'
|d regretted very much bis absence
>m church, but had becti necessarily!
led away-that be would expect the.
fachet to dinner, aud would be at
ime.at that time The youn^ lady'
ts quite preposessing iu her appear
Ice aud maimers. Fair complexion,
rht auburn hair, and bewitching blue
?s-tall and sleudcr iu person, aud
|th a dignity and grace of manner very
rivaling. The young parson was
?tc charmed, and felt as though he
\d met ao old friend. She then iutro
I
d him, one by one, to thc whole,
igregation, then pointed to the house,
it on the other side of the creek .
istling io a beautiful grove ol oaks 1
th vines aud flowers in the fron \
rd. Of course he accepted thc iovi- j
i, and soon found that thc wholtj
igregation was moving to the samt
Mot of destination. Squire C. gav
young preacher a hearty weleouit
ie table was soon prepared. It wa
r, aod bountifully provided, and ihe j
?ole congtegatioo, family, aud parson
down to dine. The Squire was ;
>ut mao, weighiDg at least twice th/
sight of the parson, not very talkative,;]
it pleasaDt, aod io the coarse c
foversatioti the secret of thc peculiari
of the congregation was divulged. I
is a fish mg party, wbo, "to kill tw? j
(rds with one stone^ aod ?conomis?

to him was most supremely ridi

j no laughiog there. Every one t
he was drowned-had seed the
and lost sight of him for so man;
meuts that the utmost horror had
them, aud the spectacle presented
?aze of the parson as his head pop

There they stood in breathless s
with mouths aud eyes stretched
and ?ismay, all as solemn as
printed upon every countenance,
once occurred to the young parso

so getting one of the young gent
to give his hand, he pulled himse

lie makes bis bow and speaks as fol'
Iridies and Gtn'l'ftrum.-A sad
dent has unexpectedly befaijen me,
I am now drenched and muddy as
behold. ^ The accident itself is a t
but great resulte often follow insi;
caut causes, and thc part of wisdom
forecast thc future, and guard ag;
the approach of evil. There are al
persons ready to misrepresent and
aggerate, and thc probability is, that
little event may ho used to my d
ment. As a small body of snow, fal
from thc mountain top, gathers
volum?- at every iucrcmcut of sp
until it becomes a formidable m
crushing ben catii its weight everytl
which opposes its progress, so t
rumor, mingled with scandal, the in
niGcatit occurrence of today, may
come a formidable power to crush
my ministerial reputation and desti
ing r.y usefulness. .This siaiple it
dent, connected with the most innoc
recreation, may. by thc mystic hand
rumor, be distorted into a huge mons
which shall hear no likeness to
original. I started, ladies and gcntlem
in the humble and laborious field
itinerant ministerial labor, with
honest desire to dog'od. My great
ambition is to advauce roy Redeem?
kingdom and win souls to Christ, ant
stand to day, ready to sacrifice fricn
comforts, pi-.'ition and life itself, if ne
he, to accomplish this eud ; and i ;
unwilling to risk this, or any ott
event of the kind, in the way of i
usefulness, and I call upon you, tl
day, to aid mc io my purpose? I have n
yet been arouud my circuit. There a
ten churches to be visited for the fit
time, and if thc people hear, before
ge? to these churches, that,! have bc?
on a fishing ?arty and fallen over boar
evett if the report lakes this simple at
true form, there are plenty of peop!
ocnsorouf enough to eay, "We mo
have a very trifling yoong preacher th
year. He is already going with tl
girls on fishing parties instead oi'attem
ing to his duties an a minister, and ht
actually fallen into the creek." Aootht
will nay, "I never did believe in thes
fishing parties DO how, they are onl
courting parties after ail, and I expet
he has just come cn bur circuit to get
wife." Another will tay, "Well, i trefe
expeoted any better, for. the Confereoc
always sends os t JO poorest preacher
any how. I caw this young maa, and
do'ot like his look? at all, be ia too fop
tah and fooc! of the girls to suit me.
don't believe I'll go out, whan he bom?
round to oar church." And no it wH
go, prejudice will increase, ?od dislik*
will strengt usn aud my year's labor wil
be spent for naught. Bat yon ladies au<
gentlemen, have it io your power to pu
me.riga t, apt) fr< e? Tme tight, :, Be*id?
ail this, I have often heard it said, .tba
"a gentleman ca o! keep a secret, bot i

Than, starting Ki th? hewe, hf bagged
that tbe con?pany wodld not break ap,
but continue their amusement To thia,
they would not consent, but in an irreg
ular but solemn procession, accompanied
the young parson te the bouse; -
Unfortunately he had left his clothes
io the neighborhood of his last appoint?
ment, td be'washed/.and had no ext m
sait with vt?? -the oil I j chance was
to accept a'suit bf Squire Cs until his
could be washed and dried. What a sight
my lord I Just see the parson io that
arm chair with these huge clothes Ou
The coat is cut in the olden style, with
high rolling collar reaobing upward, to
the top of his head, and pants and test
and boots in grotesque accordance.
Whatever his appearance is, he feels j
ridiculous enough. The company;
gradually disperse, the night passes, ?nd
the morning finds our young parson
with his clothes nice and dry, and. Boon
after breakfast he is off for his next ap*
poiotment. Thus terminates the first
fishing party on a circuit of our young
itinerant. -
The year passed away"-the experi?
ment waa successful, proving two thing?;
First, that a woman eau keep a secret,
and secondly that a secret nan be kept
by more than three persons. We will j
only add, that the young parson .im- ?
mortalized himself by the accident, as
the fishing place has become perma?
nently called by his name, which name
it bears to this day, and the young mao
who pulled him ont of the ereek, now
showing the marks of age, declares that
this is the most remarkable fishing place j
on the creek, for he pulled a fish out J
there nearly six feet long.

The time comes when a young man
must go forth to the wqrld to seek his
fortnne as his father before him sought
his; he goes from a home Where he has
been under a father's watchful eye,
guarded by a mother's anxious care, be
goes into the harsh and bustling world,
to mix in the busy haunts of men, to en?
counter temptations new and hitherto
undreamed of. Now, indeed, it requires
all the force of his early training to keep
him spotless. His bark is in the rapids,
and unless piloted by strong principles
and wafted by the breezes of trat*, moral
courage, it can not escape the rooks and
shoals that surround it on every sids.
He sees his companions, his employ
ere, those to whom he looks for example
all indulging in the so-called moderate
use of alcohol io its numer?os forms,
and is daily urged to join in just one
jjlass.
For some time he firmly resists, but
seeing that his conduct is marked and
singular, that he is even held in less
&-te'eui by his comrade oo account of his
abstinence, and, from s. desire to please,
wavers.
Oh ! theo we can imagine that two
spiritual beiogs are n ?ar him-one on
the right hand, and one on the left On
the right he is reminded of his distant
home, and all that was taught him there;
on the left the old tale of the delights of
companionship, and the harmlessness of
an occasional glass.
He still warers-yields! the first
glass is taker, and -a silent tear is drop*
ped on his right hand, a load laugh of
devilish triumph goes up on hts left, and
thus the worm enters
The first glass drank, the slippery
downward path is commenced, so steep
is the dec!i?ity.that ?fie. walk soon be?
comes a run* unti? losing his foothold,
the unfortunate youth plunges headlong
into the murky sea of dissipation, forget
ting his God, hts eariy thining, and
bisooee loved friend*.
Father, mother, brother, sister, friends,
fortune, ali are sacrificed io this one
dreadful passion. The'^orm has done
its work, it bas pitrfced,*ne heart of the
tree*? Angels weenier another joni
lost, and heil r?sonnas with acclamations
of praise of its most successful recruit?
ing officer, tb? Demon of Intemper?

croe? ADVICE. -
The Memphis Avalanche, ia an edi?
torial oo the Ka Klux Bi!!, gives the
following good advice to the people of
the Sooth :
? The passage of this Act means that
Grabt will be a candidate for re-election ;
that he means to be elected, and that
the e?ectorii eeftege will be abolished
to accomplish that result if necessary.
Patience and silence on the part of the
Sooth will givo os the victory ; snffei,
and Be streng. Let as talk about rail
roads, telegraphs, steam boats, elevators,
coro, tobacco, cottoo And., cotton . mills,
free schools, a better system of farming,
rolling mills, farniture and broom facto?
ries, and bow to lessen taxes-and how
to-get rich-anything bot oar political
rights io tho Union. What ia the use
to talk about ?hat* which is not to be
seen, nor felt, nor ?defined ? Bights in
the Union ! gone with Bourbons' rights
?ia the Territories/'
CHEERFUL PEOPLE*
*~ ~~* .
. God bless the cheerful people-man,
woman or child, old or yoong, illiterate
or educated, handsome or homely Over
and above every other social trait stands
cheerfulness. What the sao is to
? atare-what God is to the stricken
heart which knows how to lean upon
Him-are cheerful persons in the house
and by the way side. They go unob?
trusively, . unconsciously, about their
silent missioo, brightening op society
around them with the happiness beam?
ing from their faces. We love to sit
near them ; we love the natara of trtair
eye, tone of their voice. Little children
find oat, oh! so quickly, amid the
densest crowd, and, passing by the
knited brow and compressed lip, glide
near, and laying a confiding little hand
on their knee, lift their olear young eyes
to those loving faces.
: -Modesty in woman is color in her
cheek-cocidedly becoming unless pat
on.
