Skmorous ?rpartmeat. Whw the Springs Pail.?On our way home, last Thursday, on /oqt, and it was hot, you know, we were overtaken by a negro in a wagon, whopolitely offered us,a ride. We accepted. The weather, of course, was the only subject that we could discuss with mutual interest, ai*d about which we were equally ignorant as to the probabilities aheafflbji'ntfT Jj iM'ttQAMlH We got on springs and branches and creeks, and we asked our companion in black why they were drying up more and more every year, and enforced our point by the cutting down of the forests as the main cause?examples being right before him. Then we paused for a reply. We got it in these words: "Jtsoss, you am i goi it an down right. 'Doubt 'sputing yore expernashun, I tell you, sir, aat don't make the springs go dry, case we hev got de same poplar and sweetgum trees standin' by our spring whar da bin fifty year or more. Tain'tdat,tain'tdat, boss." "Well, what is the matter?" we inquired. "Sir," the negro replied, "it's des because we driifks more water den de spring, can fetch out." "How's that ?" "Well, yer see, our boss buys dis Westum white meat, datis saltyer dan poke brine, ' and when we eats a good bate all us and two or three of de nabors jest hev to go for de spring to keep from perishin. I-tell you sir, its de truff fore God?ef dat meat doan't keep ebbery spring dry in my naborhood, I'm a liar or no jedge." This diagnosis of the case put us to thinking, and after some reflection we are of the opinion that the negro was more than half right.? Union.

Wanted?Boys to be Conducted, to the Circus.?A story is told by a Toledo West End preacher on a brother minister that will bear repeating. On Monday last a circus was in the city and the ministerial curiosity was so awakened that an outside view of the stretch of canvas would not suffice. The minister had compunctions of conscience against the gratification of what he fancied might be a questionable desire. However, his liberality of belief would permit of the children going, and of their seeing all there was to be seen, provided they nad some good-sized masculine protector with them. But unfortunately for him he had no children, and was therefore?to use an unorthodox expression?"in a hole." Einally he hit upon a plan. He went to the other nreanher and tried to borrow his five year old boy as a companion to the circus. But it wouldn't work* the preacher remarking, "I've waited a long time for my boy to get old enough to go to a circus, and now I . want to use him myself."?Toledo Blade. ?_jj?>rr A Lucky Retort.?The free use of intoxicants in Moscow during the coronation ' fetes calls to mind a story of the late Alexander II. and the late Col. Galltzin. The latter officer one day came reeling out of a restaurant disgracefully drunk. The Czar was passing, saw him, and ordered his arrest. t When the offender was brought before Him Alexander II. made, some indignant" remarks, and declaredliis" determination to make an example of him. "Put yourself in my place," he cried; "suppose that you were the emperor, and you saw an office? of your guard in the state I see you in now, what would you say to him?" "Sire," answered the colonel, who seemed to have retained some of his wits, "if I were emperor I would not address a single remark to such a brute." He heard nothing more of the matter. Decidedly Cool.?An Arkansas volunteer in the Mexican war, riding on horseback, came across an Illinoisian told him he was wounded, and asked to be taken up and conveyed out of danger. Arkansas placed him on behind his saddle, and fastenred him to himself with a leather strap. .While they were hastening from danger, a f rape shot took Illinois'head off, but Aransas thought he had only fainted from fatigue and pain. When a safe place was arrived at, the horseman released his charge, and seeing his head was gone, exclaimed: "These Illinoisians are the greatest liars. Here's a rascal with his head cut off, when he told me he was only shot in the leg. You can't believe a word these fellows say!" War Notew. The Ear of the Court.?Judge Gilmer, of the North Carolina bench, tells a good story at the expense of Judge Bond. At a term of the Federal Court in Raleigh, Judge Bond, who was presiding, and ex-Judge Gilliam, now a practicing attorney, nau been cutting at each other all the week. : They both met at a banquet at Col. John W. Hinsdale's. Judge Bond procured the head of a whole-roasted pig to be cut off and S^rrfcto^he end of the table occupied by Mr. Gilliam, and placed before him. Silence prevailed, while the guests awaited the denouement. Mr. Gilliam surveyed it, bowed to Judge Bond,and said: "Thank God, I've got the ear of the Court attest",Solid Brass.?A Boston book agent, who was wearing a small circular piece of courtplaster on his face, removed it while shaving a few mornings since and replaced it when his toilet was complete. Contrary to his usual experience, as he went about his business dqring the rest of the day he was received everywhere with smiles, which gre#broader and broader, until at last somebody laughed in his face. Led by this to look in the glass, he was somewhat taken aback to discover that instead of the courtplaster, he had affixed to his face a- little round printed label, which had fallen from the back of a new mantel clock purchased the day before, and which bore the appropriate inscription, "Warranted, solid brass.''?Exchange. Just Like 'Em?They were an old cou pie coming East by the "Michigan Central. When the brakeman announced: "Markham?twenty minutes for dinner!" Both left the car and entered the eating-house. They had scarcely seated themselves at the table when the husband took out his oldfashioned bull's-eye watch, squinted at the time and passed it to his wife with the remark: "Now, I'll eat and you hold the watch, and if we get left it will be your fault. Sing out at the end of eighteen minits." And the good-natured old wife sat there without eating a mouthful and timed him while he pitchforked everything within reach into his stomach. "Your son has just been knocked off the railroad and killed," exclaimed a man, approaching an Arkansas colonel. "Who knocked him off?" excitedly demanded the colonel. "A railroad engine." "Well, that begins to explain matters, for I knew devilish well he wasn't knocked off by an ordinary man. He was one of the boys, let me tell you."?Arkansaw Traveler. "My case is just here," said a citizen to a lawyer, a few days ago. "The plaintiff will swear that I hit him, I will swear.that I did not. Now what can you lawyers make out of that If we goto trial?"

ROBERT LATHAN. | Original. | e ATHEISTS. t , The classical scholar needs no definition of J! I the words atheism and atheist. Their ety- g mology is so plain that he discovers it at a j glance. To those who possess no knowledge n of the Greek language,, a definition of these t words may ' be hecissary.^ Atjieolfei :is the t doctrinal creed of the atheist, and an atheist is one who denies the existence of God. ^ There are two kinds of atheism. Such j being the case, there are necessarily two d *- --1- --< r\? u:?,i ntUalLim' 5a li Kinus U2 'HtllUIKU)* l/JHU tviuu ui auncioui xo denominated theoretical, or speculative atheism. The other kind is properly called ^ practical atheism. The theoretical atheist ^ is an individual who has adopted, as his re- ]\ ligious creed, the;principle that .there ds in o reality no God. The practical atheist is the 8 individual who rejects in theory, the princi- S; pie that there is no God, but acts as if there is no God. In theory, few persons have b adopted the principle that there is no God, C consequently speculative atheists have nev- * er been numerous. In fact, the thing is so ^ absurd that by far the greater numbpr of (j those who have reflected 011 the subject, it has been concln'ded fhat no rhan ever did or e can actually believe that there is 110 God. v The reasons assigned for this conclusion are many and potent. The speculative atheist ^ ran e-ive no reasonable account of either | ,, O- ' - himself or the multitude of things which C make up what is called the world. He can c not say they were created, for he denies the P existence of a creator. He dares not say they are preserved, for he denies the exis- e tence of a preserver. The theory of the a atheist is in direct and open conflict with the consent of mankind in all ages of the world, in every section of the globe, in all ? conditions of society and in every circum- r stance of life. The atheist cannot satisfac- a torily account for the fact that all the human t family, except himself, believe in the exis- j< tence of God, if there is, according to his ! theory, no God. Ilow were men induced to adopt the theory that there is a Supreme f Being ? If, as the atheist say5^, there is no t God,<how is it that all men, with a few ex- f ceptions, have embraced a theory which * materially, directly or indirectly, affects every other theory ? Why is it that men, j with a few exceptions, cling to this theory g amid all the vicissitudes of life ? These are s questions which the atheist cannot answer. s Notwithstanding the fact that speculative j. atheism is monstrously absurd and a bundle c of self contradictions, it is probable that f K/-k/nr> on fill" /lnllirlpfl 116! tfl ? SOtut; ineu nave uccu ou i?? u^?uw. .... v~ j actually embrace it. At any rate it has had t a few votaries, and a few martyrs. Prac- a tical atheism has been common in all peri- a oils of the world's history. The tendency of 3 all men is to fall into practical atheism. By u far the larger number of the human family are practical atheists. In theory they admit the existence of God, but in practice they ignore any such being. The Psalm- v ist, in speaking of atheists, says, "The fool r hath sajd in his hejart there is no God." * Both tne speculative and practical atheist is 3 calleda fool. However ignominious the epi- ' thet, we cannot question its fitness, since it is chosen and applied by the Holy Spirit. "A fool is an individual," says Webster, g "destitute of reason or the common powers of 1 understanding; an idiot." This is theindi- I vidual who says in his heart there is 110 ? God. He does not necessarily say it to * those with whom he associates, but he says it in his heart. He thinks it. The evidence that such an one is a fool, is 0 that he will not see facts at all, or if he sees a them does not see them as they are. We o would deliberately pronounce that individ- r ual a fool, who standing beneath a summer's sun says: "There is 110 sun. It is all a con- ? ceit." By what better name than that of ^ fool could we designate him who denies ^ that.there is.u Being who. h.uiig the sun_in Sl space and lives and reigns ivndTsliines iii all a *ii wortoi? i i! fit. f . Is i - t!

He feels that a practical belief in the existence of God is incompatible with the ? belief of sin in which he desires to live. His wickedness is the parent of his folly. We regard him as a fool who destroys his own property, maltreats his friends and imperils ti his own life. The individual who returns S1 hatred for friendship, ingratitude for love s] and contempt for favor, we stigmatize as a a, brainless and heartless monster with the t\ venom of the viper. - What shall we call vi that being in ?the human form and with ti human endowments which says that the God who made it and 011 whose provideutial care it is continually dependent, does 1 not exist. Is its name not fool? What tt would we call the man who would insist that tl he had no parents? Would we not say he si is a fool?a man destitute of reason, with- . out the common powers of understanding ; c an idiot? al The atheist, whether speculative or prac- " tical, is rightly named by the Holy Spirit, a fool. The Psalmist, guided by God's Holy Spirit, gives us the moral characteristics of the atheist. Here they are : "They are corrupt; thjey*have done abominable works; there is none that cloeth good." This is concise and comprehensive. It is so perfect that no sane individual can possibly confound either the practical or speculative atheist with any other member of the human family. All atheists are corrupt, they also do abominable works,and not one of them does good. Moral corruption produces atheists and atheism produces corruption. Atheism is a stagnant pool in whose stinking waters is produced moral tilth. No man ever, saw a pure and virtuous atheist. Such 'a: being aoes not exist. In the nature of things it never can exist. Atheists are abominable in their words, theyare abominable in their thoughts, they are abominable in their bodies and they are abominable in their souls. "They are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity ; whisperers, backhitors, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding ; covenant breakers, without natural affection ; implacable and unmerciful." Rom. 1: 29-31. God gives atheists up to vile affections, because they change the- truth of God into a lie. Practical atheists fill our jails and penitentiaries.

It is remarkable that however fool-hardy the atheist may be, and however perse-1 veringly he may pursue his folly, he is not j calm. His. spirit .is distorbecl/ He. is .in great fear continually. He is not easy. His soul is troubled, although a smile may be i upon his face. Like the blind viper, he j strikes at everything that he may injure 1 something, and is in constant dread that j something may injure him. Be Social^-A* young man <5>mes to your church ; he is a perfect stranger to the majority of those he meets; his home is far I away; his church he has left behind. He j listens attentively to the service, and is j r, pleased and profited by what he hears. The i J service over, he goes out. . Although many j ii know him to be'a stranger, yet no one ex-1 a: tends the friendly hand or in any manner j j11 notices him. He is somewhat discouraged, |t: a little homesickness steals over him, but j he resolves to go there once more. He goes, j % with the same result. Discouraged, he I g seeks another sanctuary where the warm ! grasp of the hand, information about the i evening meeting, invitation to the Sundayschool, and the interest taken by the members of the church in his welfare, at once decides his course. The result is a zealous i worker is gained by one church and lost 1 by the other, and simply because the young c men were social. Young men and young women of our ? churches, never let a stranger go away h without a notice; never let that chilling ^ feeling of loneliness come over any per m in -the house of God.
