The old man was one of those opinionated men who are especially pleased toexpress their views in public places; the conversation had t urned upon a recent bold robbery, and he had just fixed the attention of all the passengers in the car upon a demure looking young man who sat next to him, by addressing him sotto roce: "Now, I'm a detective and you stole that money." As a matter of fact, the young man had not stolen anything, nor was the older man accusing him ; lie was simply about to explain to the unsophisticated youth, how detectives operate in running down a criminal. He was playing detective and had cast tlie young man as the thief, just for instance, you know, and warming to his subject, feeling that he had his illustration splendidly in hand, the old man settled right down to business. "You stole tliat money," he repeated, "and I will show you how easily you tripped yourself up." Eyervbody in the car was intensely interested. "Last evening," continued the old man, "a person answering your description was observed by several parties to pass and repass the scene of the robbery." Here the lady who sat next the young man left her seat and stood up in the far end of the car. "Footprints made by boots exactly or your size were discovered in the yard and on the roof of the veranda, whereby your entrance was effected, and a piece of the very goods from which your clothes are made had been torn out and wits found adhering to a sharp point of the iron work." About this time the young man became conscious that he had for some reason been siug^1ett-b?LbjUJi^passengers as an object of great interest, anaTT^Ttftteidj^omirred to hiin that they might think the oldmarrS" remarks personal to himself. He endeavored to get Irr va word or two, but the old man would brook no" interruption. 'But that's not all," he went on ; "a servant girl discovered your presence, the alarm was given, a shot fired at your retreating figure which penetrated your hat." Here the passengers noticed a pair of clean cut holes in the young man's hat. The evidence was complete. Murmurs of "What a pity!" "Soyoung, too!" "The little scoundrel !" greeted the young man's ears. Crimson and speechless, in his mortification he fled the car, followed by all of the passengers but the old man. "Going to let him go away ?" asked the conductor. "Yes," responded the old man, keeping up the joke; "I pity the poor boy." "Well, you'll have to pay his fare, then. I didn't get it." And that's where the joke turned on the old man.

Brother Pizarro was present and he stepped up, his eyes having a squint of alarm and li is knees losing their sand with every motion. "Brudder Grant," continued the President, "you am a young man on de doah-step of life; you w'ar wery tight pants an' a wery short coat an' a wen* narrow hat, and you look decidedly icreteJi-cr-chec. De great world am liefo' you. If you begin right, no man dares bet two to one dat you won't sit in a Governer's chair befo' you am fifty. If you begin wrong it will be safe to bet 1000 to nulfin dat you will bring up in State prison befo' you am ten y'ars older." "Yes, sab, Ize tryin, to start right," said Pizarro, as Brother Gardner stopped to swallow a pint of water. "I hope so?f hope so, but I doubt it, Brudder Grant. Ize had my eyes on you fur some leetle time back. I doan' fink you would lie or steal or burglar or forge, but you has fallen into one werry bad habit. De odder day you met a friend in front of my cabin, an' when he axed you if you war a gwine on de excursion you replied dat you would 'gasp to gurgle. ' On anoder occaishun I heard you remark you would'mix to murmur.' Again you observed dat you would 'sigh tosnitle.' Only an hour ago you told Way down Bebee to 'cheese it' an' life." What doesall these things mean, Brudder Grant?" "I doan' know," replied the victim, as he stood on one leg and scratched his head. "Nor I. either. Ize looked up de Latin an' French an' German an' Greek languages, hut I can't find any such expreshuns as 'hire a hall,' 'see you in de grave yard,' or 'I should smile.' Why do you make use of 'em ?" "Idoanknow." "Den stop it 1 If plain English ain not good 'nuff fur you to 'spress your thoughts in, l'arn Spanish or Chinese. It am all right fur a sweet young gal who has been frew college to remark that she would titter to grin, but sich 'spreshuns doan' sound well comin' from a y<iung man. If I should go home to-night an' tell my old woman dat I would prespire to evacuate, or lithograph to animosity, she'd look me straight in de eye fur thirty seconds, an' den would cornea climax in which my hat, head an' a bromstick would all tie mixed up.'' "Return to your seat, Brudder Grant; go hack an' sot down with a determination to avoid slang an" do vonr tnlkin' sqnar' from de shoulder. When you git tired of beef, go into a grocery an' ax fur codfish in plain English, an'doan'use any mo' oratory dan am necessity to secure full weight an' git rid of a quarter wt& a hole in it. We will now proceed to split the reg'lar order of bizness d< wn de back and let out de sleeves." Still in Doubt.?When a grocer at Port Huron, Michigan, was said last winter to have exjjerienced religion, the statement was carlied to a prominent deacon, who inquired : "Did he confess to mixing two kinds of oats together and selling them for No. 1 ?" I think not." "Say anything about having worked over old butter everv fall for 2o years ?" "No." "Did he confess that he had lieen caught using short weights ?" "No." "Wasn't lie even sorry for watering his vinegar?" "He didn't say so." "Well, it may be that the Lord has seen fit to poke him up a little around the edges, but liefore you receive him into the church you'd better give him a fair chance to pass a quarter with a hole in it. If lie resists the temptation I shall pray the Lord to continue the wrestle until Satan gets three straight falls." A Trial of Wits.?Lawyers and doctors, when they encounter each other in a court of justice usually engage in a verbal game of "tit, tat, too." A New York lawyer, who was cross-examining Dr. Warren, declared that a doctor ought to be able to give an opinion of a disease without making mistakes. "Doctors make fewer mistakes than the lawyers," responded the physician. "That's not so," said the counsellor; "but doctors' mistakes are buried six feet under ground ; a lawyer's are not." "No; they are sometimes hung as many feet above ground." The advantage was with the doctor. When disputing as to the comparative merits of their profession, Sir Ilenry Holland said to Bobus Smith, ex-advocate general: "You must admit that your profession does not make angels of men." The lawyer replied: "There you have the best of it; yours certainly gives them the best; chance." This time the lawyer was ahead. <gr Last week a boy down in Lee county rig- J ged himself up in a sheet one night, sneaked around the house to stand at the window of ' his brother's room and play ghost. But he j forgot to count on the dog, who didn't believe ' in ghosts, and pretended to sleep by the kitch- j mi ehimnev. Tim ohost materialized about five feet from the chimney, and when the doc- i tor came he cauterized nineteen holes in it, 1 while the dog, with his tail standing straight! up in the air like a mast, walked around the yard 011 his tip-toes, and talked bass, and asked everybody he met what he should fly at next.?Burliwjtm Hmckeyv. (3" A prominent granger from Onion Creek was in Austin the other day. Desiring to obtain some reliable figures about the oat crop, we asked him if he could tell us precisely how many acres he had in oats and how many bushels he raised to the acre. "T can't give you the precise figures, but I raise a heap, sold a right smart, and Fve got a powerful lot ipft."? 7V:mx Siftings. I MUaHnfl ^abkth. -nrjr rr-^r ~ rr-? ~p ? OONDUOTKti RT REV. RbllERT LATHAli. | Original.) . THE OFFICERS OF CHRIST. j( The Scriptures inform us that Jesus was so ; ( named because he saves his people from their sins?this name Jesus signifying Saviour. Such being the case, we infer that the official duties which he undertook to discharge were such as would on their accomplishment, reconcile God to man and reconcile the world to God. That this work might be accomplished, it was necessary that the law and justice of iroa ue nrsi sausnea, ana mat men sinners ue: enlightened, converted and subdued. This j work of reconciliation, Jesus Christ acconi- ; plishes in executing the three offices of priest, j prophet and King. It will not be denied by any Bible reader : that Jesus is constantly set forth, in both the j Old and New Testament Scriptures as lieing ; at the same time, prophet, priest and king. In j the order of nature the execution of the office ! of priest is first. It was as priest that Jesus ; Christ reconciled God to sinners, and as proph- J et and king that he reconciles sinners to (Sod. It is customary in enumerating the offices of Christ to mention the prophetic office first. In the actual execution of his work as the j saviour of sinners he began his work as a j prophet l?efore lie died as a priest. It is Itow-! ever certain that all depended upon his work as priest. Nothing could lie done until (rod's holy law was satisfied and it was as a priest that he died to take away the curse of a violated law. , v * As a prophet Jesus intructs his jieople. That this work may Ik? accomplished he has j given the church his word?the Bible in which j is reVWrtM CodV-w]l 1 and man's duty. As j king, Jesus rules oveiNJns people, subduing j them to himself. As kiug^^ie governs and j controls all tilings. No weaponTweju'e told, that is formed against Zion shall prosper. Every thing and every event is so controled by Jesus, as king, that it has the tendency to further find's glory and the good 01 the Church. r r - [Original.J CREATION. The theories of those sclentilic men who reject the Bible account of t tie creation of the.! world are often as silly as they are wicked, j Some assert that there is no Cod, but all is j matter. Others pretend to believe and en- j deavor to teach that there is 110 such a thing J as matter, but that all is spirit. Others claim j , that both God and matter exist, but that matter is but a modification of deity. Some claim that matter always existed, but j in a chaotic state and all that God did was to I reduce Chaos to order. Others teach that matters a I way existed, but in a very different state from that in which it is now seen, and that it always had a kind of developing power. Some are so bold as to assert that it is impossible to create, that is to bring something into existence. Before something can be brought into existence the material out of which it is created must previously exist. All these theories rob God of his very existence. They are consummately foolish. There no doubt are many difficulties connected with the history of creation as contained in the Bible, but one thing is certain, it is neither silly nor degrading to God. The individual who becomes so liberal minded and unsectarian in his notions that he is ready to ignore all creeds, knows very little about religion, and his liberality is nothing but gross indifference to truth. Such is the condition of things that he who would spread Christianity must spread his own particular denomination. We may say that denominations are men-made things. This is true, but it is a fact that there is no true Christianity outside of some of theChristian denominations. The man who is zealous to build up his own denomination maybe a bigot, but the man who makes no difference between the various denominations is a mere drone. The enemy of all good, wants no better tool. The mau who cares nothing for the doctrines and practices of the various Christian denominations but regards all good alike except that they are all a little better than the doctrines and practices in the denomination to which he belongs, may j think he is very charitable, but lie is mistaken. I He is only very ignorant. As a general rule, the purely business matters of the church are poorly conducted. The finances of the church are most commonly intrusted to some one who knows far more about theology than he does about managing money. This is doing the Lord's business in a want-of-busincss manner. Still the church never goes into bankruptcy. .... - ? Dancing may not be the sum of all vices, but it would be diflicult to fiiul anything which is better adapted to crush out genuine piety. It would be hard to fiiul devout piety in a ball room. It may not be a great sin to dance, but is a fact that devoutly godly persons are not the persons who are fond of dancing. It is possible for an individual to bo cour4lmliw* o Phriofidn Knf inil)hC<i. LCUIIi"* *> lUll/UL <t Vll&iovmil WV4V, Hit|'vwu? ble for an individual to be a Christian without being courteous. Genuine Christianity purifies the heart and corrects and smoot hes all asperities in thoughts words and acts. ? jgF*We are ready enough to accept the sover-; eignty of God provided that sovereignty is exercised in our behalf, but if it is displayed in restraining us from following the bent of our own wicked notions, we are ready to characterize God as a hard master. ^ Some people are to be pitied rather than to be condemned. They may not be more wicked or have less piety than their neighbors, but they are very unsuccessful in concealing their sins. <grlt is part of our duty to be continually confessing to fellow men the sins which we commit against God. Humility?that despised grace, which can endure being despised on earth, because it is so prized in heaven?would not only take all the sharpness out of controversy, but would make an end of most of it. Controversialists striving over the unimportant ques-1 tion, which of them is right, or which of them can argue best, would under the influence of the Spirit of humility, confess their fallibility, avail themselves of the help of one who saw the subject differently and possibly more clearly, and would strive together in ; study, conference and prayer, over the more important question, what is right V And ' God who gives grace to the lowly, would guide them together into his truth. But pride must prove itself right. The Pope?not Leo but ' Ego?is infallible. $jgj' One thing which makes religious contro- 1 versy show so many signs of carnal feeling is j the fact that, when two are opposing each other, one at least, must be opposing the j truth; and he cannot have the help of the | f Iloly Spirit in opposing the Spirit's own teachings. Taking the side of the ilesh against the Spirit, it will not he strange if lie argues carnally. Even the one who favors God's truth has "a law in his members'' making him Ho j evil when lie "would do good.'' ; With all its drawbacks earnest contro-; versy is very much I letter than that dead in- j difference that would lose the truth to save j the calm stagnation which some call peace. A church whose watchmen v ill see gems filched from the treasure of God's truth, and keep ! quiet for fear of awakening some sleeper, will ! soon be discharged from such trying service. J God is wise and will select some other guar- j dian for his treasure who will not be too ( peaceful to "set the trumpet to his mouth.'' ?

The present protective tariff robs the lany for the benetit of the few. The duties u-imports should be decreased, and an early peal of the duty on cotton ties, on the nianinery used in the. manufacture of cotton ud wool, and on tools and agricultural imlements, will stimulate manufactures and be welcome relief to the farmer and laborer. 10.

They are suhstan- i lally made, and have as little weight as it is pos- i ibleto build a press with the necessary strength. | fhey are convenient, and very rapid in packing. I Capacity twenty-five bales per day, weighing t ?00 pounds per bale. Each Press is supplied with I he very bost one-and-a-half inch manilla rope, | jy which the packing is operated. Two hands ^ ;an pack a 500 pound bale in three minutes, rhese Presses oan be mounted on a common farm vagon, or the running parts of a thrasher, requiring only four bolts to secure it to the wagon. SVben mounted, it can be transported anywhere is easily as a load of wood. A number of them vere used in this county last season, giving enire satisfaction. I submit the names of the paries who operated these Presses last season, who ire well-known as reliable and truthful men, and vill, at any time, confirm my assertion of the ilaims of the superiority of this Press over any >ther known in the United States or elsewhere. J. B. Whitesides, W. S. Plexico, John T. iVhitesides, Allen Crosby, Saninel L. Davidson, Esq., William R. Hays, J. E. Leach, D. Martin Hall, J. Martin Brian.' I also furnish a Stationary Cotton Press for Gin Annuo*, made on the same principle as the Traveling Pre**, but at much le*s cn*t. Mr, .J. Tjeanler Pariah used one in his ginning establishment ast season, and is highly pleased with it, and has mid, and will say it again, that he can pack a bale n less time than he could run up his old screw. \sk him and he will speak for himself, I would suggest.to parties who may want one >f these Presses, to leave thetr orders as early as possible, as I have heretofore been unable to supply the demand.
