DAVID AM) ?OLIAH. Thc Story an Told hy n rocal Preacher in tho Southwest. Last week, my bretherin, as I was a readirig my Bihlc, I fuuud a story .>{ a big fight (1 Samuel xvii.) It was pow erful nj te rcs tin', and I studied it almost all the week. There was two armies a campin'on two mountains right foment each other, and a hollar, and, I reckon, some good bottom land and A medder lot ly?n' between 'em. In one of the armies t-c e was a big feller-a wboppin' great big feller-and every day he went down into thc medder lot and looked up the hill to t'other camp and just dared 'cm. lie told 'em to pick their best man and send him down and he'd fight him. And he jest strutted around there in his ?oger close, and waited for 'cm to *end on' their man. And loch soger close I never heard teil on afore. He had a brass cap and bra-is trouser*, and a coat made like mail bags where they are all ironed and riveted together. Rut the fellers in t'other camp jest clean flunked. Ybey darn't fight the big feller, nary OHM on 'em. Thevjest all sneaked away, ^nd the big feller went back to camp. Rut lie didn't quit thar, the big feller didn't. He was spiliu for a fight, and he was bound to have it. Ho jest went down into the bottom land, into the medder lot, every day, moruin'and even in', anti dared 'em and dared 'cm. I tell you he pestered 'em mightily. The ?dd j feller, .Saul, the dineral, he felt more j chawed up and meaner than the sogen?, and, when he couldn't etan' it no longer, lie tole the boys that if any on 'em would go down and lick the big feller he'd give his gal and a right s-mart chance of plun der. Rut they were all so skeer'd that even that didn't start one of 'cm. Thc big fellow went down and dared 'cm and pestered 'em more'n u month-forty days tho IJible says. ? don't know what they'd a done if it hadn't a been that a peart little feller had come down to camp one day to fetch some extra rations lo his three big broth ers that their old dad sent to 'em from home. Kind old pap he was, and sharp, too, for he sent along a big present to the boys' Cap'en. Well, jest as the little feller drove up, they were all gwinc out to fight, and the little feller left his traps with the driver, and legged it after the sogerrf, and told his big brothers howd'y. Right thar the old big feller came out aiiu dared 'ern again, and they wero all so skcer'd that they jest run like mad. The little feller hcercd him, and then went back into camp and hcered the sogcrs talking about him, and what the old CJineral would give to have him licked. He asked them a heap of ques tions aboutit all, and his big brother he got mad at him, twitted him about keeping hheep and gavo him a right smart of sass. Ile was plucky, but, you sec, he had to stan' it, 'cause 'twas his big brother. Rig brothers are mighty mean sometimes. But thc little feller talked a heap with tlic other sogers, and they told the old Gineroi about him, and he told them to tell thc little feller to como and sec him. Tho little feller was mighty plucky, and he jest up and told tho old Gineral Saul that he'd fight tho big feller! The CJin eral looked at ihc handsome little feller -he waa real handsome-and ses he, kinder softly, "I reckon," and sliakiu' his head, "it's kio big a job : you're only ii chunk of a boy, and he's nu old fight er." The little feller spunked up and told the old Gineral thnt he'd had one b'ar fight and hejd killed tho b'ur. T?o said there was an old lion and n b'ar got among his dad's sheep, and was gwino ofi* with a lamb. He broke for 'im, and as soon as he met un with the old b'ar, he lamm'd him till tho b'ar turned ou him for a hug ; but ho got ono hand into tho long h'nr under his jaw. and ho lamm'd him with the othcr'u till ho was dead. He'd killed tho liou and thc b'ar, and kuow'd he was enough for the old big feller. Then tho little feller talked raal reli gious to tho old Gineral. You seo he'd got religion aforo that, and ho knowed that tho Lord would help a feller if ho was right and got into n tight placo. He told Gineral Haul that tho Lord had made him mighty supple, and looked out for him when tho old lion and b'ar tried to get their paws into him ; und hu snow ed He'd seo him through tho fight with tho old big feller, for he was just darin' 'em and pesterin' 'cm to make game of religion. When the old Gineral socd he was BO plucky and religious, too, ho knowed them's the kind that fit powerful, and he told him to go in, and ho made n little prayer for h ?.?self. Then tho old Gineral nut his own soger close on thc little feller, and strapped hin sword onto him. Rut they wcro a heap too big, and ho shucked 'om off directly, nnd made for ?\ dry brunch down in the bottom. Then ho hunted five little rocks ns smooth ns a hen egg, put 'em in a littlo bag whero ho carried his snnck when ho was a lend in' thc sheep, got his sling fixed all right, and hurried up to meet the old big feller in tho modder lot. When ho seed him comin' ho was powerful mad hecauso they'd sent down such a little feller, nm! jawed awful. Rut the little fellor jest talked back religious, and kept his eyes peeled. And I reckon tho big feller couldn't been n lookin'. I've studied a heap on it, and I just know the big feller couldn't a hecu lookin', for tho iitiio ieiier took his sling and threw away, and shied a littlo rock at him, and ho popped him, and down he tumbled. Then the little feller rushed up and mounted him, jest as nn old hunter loves to get on a b'ar after ho's shot him ; and ho out with the big feller's long sword and off with hi? d. Then it was them Philistine sinners' turn to be skoer cd. nnd ?hoy broke for the woodi ; aud all of them children of Israel fellers jest shouted and chased 'em clean over the mountain into a valley, and then com'd back and got all their camp plunder. My brethren, that's the best story of a fight I ever read after, and you can't buy no better story book than this very Bible. -Dr. Pierson'e liemini?cenoe?. Unseen Fingers. Apropos of tho mysterious striking, recently, of tho old clock which onco belonged to Washington, a the relic room nt Mount Vernon, tho Rev. A. P. Buol, of Cleveland, Ohio, sends tho following account of an incident ,<hich took place in 1845, while he was at Yalo College :. "At that time I was taking my meals in the part of tho city called 'over tho dyke,' not far from {"he present site of tho New York and New Haven Railway depot. The houso was a low one-story woodon building, tho large brick chimney standing in tho centre end going straight up through the roof. On tho first floor tuero was a largo room on either sido of the chimney, tn tho cast room a wifo and mother had diod two weeks before the incident which I am about to relate occurred. Thc houso was so near tho flats that ono could hear the wash of the waves os tho tide ebbed and flowed. Snow had fallen to a depth of eight inches, und this had been followed by a heavy rain. Everything, therefore, was moist to tho touch. Coming to tho house ono night, I found the ladies greatly alarmed. Tho clock io the unused room, where tho death had occurred, had been heard to Biri ko in the afternoon. They asked mo to oxamino the clock and tho room, as they dared not. I found an old fashioned 24-hour clock, with a thin pino back, standing on tho mantlcpicce, and close up to the chimuey. As tho chimney was large, open and low, snow had fallen nnd'tnelteu on the inside Of .course tho bricks of tho chimney back of tho dock had absorbed much moisture Tho linen cord or tho striking weight had contracted just enough to raise the weight and cause tho striking. It was only .tho unseen fingers of common moisture, and not tho unseen Angers of a light-heeled ghost, that started the 1 sonorous bras?, and tilled thc ladies with fear.'' ^ Another Story About Guiteau. Charles H. Heed, one of Guiteau's lawyers, visited the assassin at the jail ono" evening last week. Mr. Heed nays that the story that Guiteau ii breaking down ii false. On the contrary, !ic is gaining flesh. While ibero the following conversation endued : Mr. Reed-"Guiteau, are you not a little frightened about the ex?cution ?" Guiteau-"Why should I be?" Reed-"Well, I would if I wai in your position." Guiteau-"Ab, yes, out you don't htand ns well with the Lord as I do." Guiteau exhibited to Mr. Heed a new suit of clothes that bad been sent bim, and Reed asked him what be got the clothes for, as he would never live to Vit.ii" them out. "Oh, yes. I will," answered the wretch. "I will live to wear out a hundred Mich suit* as this." Mr. Recd, continuing the narrative of his visit, slid : "If Guiteau were shut up in solitarry confinement for thirty days, he would become an imbecile ; as it if, he is fattening on flattery." In response to questions about the ex ecution, Mr. Reed ?aid he would not witness it himself. Ile bad never at tended an execution, and never would. "I think," he ?-aid, "the execution ? f (iuiteau will conform strictly to the law governing such affairs, and not over a hundred people will be admitted. That will likely have a bad effect on Guiteau. I b< lieve, though, if he was tobe hanged to-tuorrow, and understood thal a great crowd had assembled to witness the operation, he would walk proudly lo thc gallows in a halo of glory." "Concluding his account ol the visit. Mr. Recd said that (iuiteau had invited him to come and see him, even offering to pay hack hire, exhibiting at the same time about fifty dollars, most of which j was thc profits of the sale <?f hi", auto graph. | A Wonderful Tree. Why men occasionally ?-ec sea serpents and other snakes is plain enough ; but what is there in a Jersey cedar to account for the following from the Clinton, N. J. correspondent of the Philadelphia lu/ic.'. lie nays : "A farmer living near Schooley Moun tain has greutcly excited his neighbors by au account of a wonderful tree which he discovered several years ago, and which he has been watching ever since. He, sayn for three years it has gone through the cold weather without shedding a leaf. It is a manie tree, and ita sap makes very good maple sugar. "Thc farmer noticed it first while fol lowing tho trail of a fox up over the mountain early in December, 1878. All the other trees, even of thc same species, were entirely bare, while this tree had not, to all appearances, lost a single leaf. There were .no dried leaves underneath it, and the leaves on the branches were all green. It was with great difficulty that a leaf could be pulled from tho twig to which it was fastened, and a strong breeze, which was blowing at the time, had no effect upon thc leaves. .So astonished was the discoverer at the phenomenon that he forgot all about thc fox ho was after ar;d the cold character of the days and spent fevcral hours examining tho tree. "He went home greatly puzzled, and returned several days later with a clergy man living in the vicinity. They deter mined to mark several of tho leaves and see how long they remained whore they were. They also resolved to keep the thing n secret and watch its progress un til spring. This they did. When April arrived the leaves which they had marked were just os green and fresh as in Decem ber, and tho tree itself was not affected in the least by tho severity of tho weather and the muny windy blasts. "The hark was tnpped every week and yielded a plentiful supply of san : enough to keep both the farmer's and minister's families in Hyrup nil winter long. Tho same has been tried ever since ; not a lenf has fallen, to thc best of their belief, since tho day tho tree was first noticed, and tho san lins flowed with the same reg ularity and profusion. "As far as can be ascertained, there is no cause for the mysterious vitality of that particular maple. Thero is nothing in the sod or sub-soil to render growth more available or make tho trunk und branches better able to stand tho storms and cold weather. "A number of people have lately visited the curiosity, but each one comes away perfectly mystified. At the present limo not another tree on the whole mouutain, with tho exception of several evergreens near thc hotels, has u leaf on it, and the trunks and branches stand out bleak and bare. This maplo is in an exposed spot, unprotected from thu winda and surroun ded by rocks. Just why it is aa it is baf fles the ingenuity of all beholders. Eveu tho regular December fox hunt is cast in the shade by this perpetually green maple tree." Poverty no Disgrace. No axiom is so often quoted and so little followed practically as that which declares that "Poverty is no j isgrace." Not ono mun or woman in five hundred is bravo enough to bo poor, and not ono in five hundred is rich. Tho result of this is that we have from ono sido of tho country to thc other a society built on a basis false and unfit for the time, and honey-combed with shams, falso preten ces, and heart-sickening efforts to main tain appearances with nothing to rest them on. In tho South especially we need reform in this respect, for tho very sensitiveness to the imputation of poverty is a barrier against that universal indi vidual thrift aud economy that would crento capital within our own borders, and bring general prosperity and im firovcment. Our people have never earned tho pride of honest poverty, and with n few exceptions spend valuable time and waste monoy in efforts to de ceive their neighbors as to their condi tion, Rnd live iu a style beyond what their means justify. Those who could live comfortably aud put by a little on a thousand a year, make themselves in tensely uncomfortable and tio a mill stone of debt about their necks in tho endeavor to appear to have two thousnnd, while those of two thousand in their turn emulcto the possessors of five. This tendency, while very natural, is very ignoble, proceeding as it do? from a mean, vulgar and false standard of esti mation of peoplo's worth. It is espe cially so hero in tho South, where the fortune of war has mado poverty univer sal, and should havo mado it respected. Yet tho great majority of us, knowing ourselves to ho poor, knowing our neigh bors to bo poor, and knowing that they know us to be poor, continue to dress in poor broadcloth when we could afford good ?cans, and to sacrifice comfort and pea. o of mind and honesty in tho effort to seem rich. It is utter nonsense, that would bo intensely ludicrous if its results were not so generally painful and so frequently tragic. A great many of tho mo. * physical and financial wrecks that . Muttered on all sides in every commu owe their ruin directly to this base 1 foolish spirit! Statistics show that n. dy per cont, of tho young men who go uto business fail. Fighty per cent, of them, it is safe to r*y, owe their failures to their own r/osence of manhood-their lack of tfcfi courage to acknowledge that they arc poor men, and to live a* befits their condition.-Oreen ritte Nexei.

Nay! thc sys tem Iben already totters to its fall ; for the foundations of orthodoxy nre laid in thc bed of hell." Ile thinks that tho churches of a century heneo will teach morality for its own sake, und leave tho question of a futil e lifo to speculation. Mr. Mihi was until lately a Congrega tionalist. Thc Chicago church which ho now gives up was formerly the Rev. Dr. Collyer's. A Railroad Official Interviewed. Not every one so cheerfully communi cates his knowledge ami opinions as re cently did E. L. I/O wc ree, E?q., cashier of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, that splendid outlet to the South from tho Ohio. Our ropreseutativo waited upon Mr. Lowerce, and in reply to certain questions the latter gentleman observed : "I wes suffering from a vety severe at tack nf rheumatism in my right foot ; it was iu a terrible condition ; the pain was almost intolerable ; our family physician waited on me without success; I aeut for another well-known M. D., but even the twain could do nothing for aie ; I could not get down here t? thc office tu attend to my duties ; in fae*. I could not put my fool under mc nt al), and after nine weeks suffering I began to grow desperate. My friend (whom, of course, you know, for he is known by everybody), Mr. Stacey Hil), of tho Mount Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad Co., called to soo mo ; ho spoke very highly nf St. Jacobs Oil, and recommended tho remedy to rae in glow ing terms. I laughed at tho idea of using A proprietary medicine, and yet the party recommending it (Mr. Stacey Hill, remember) being a man of sound judg ment, Bet mo to thinking the matter over. The next day, when the physicians called, I dismissed them, and said to myself that I would let nature take its course. That resolution lasted just a day. On the fol lowing morning I, in a fit of desperation, sent a servant for a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. I applied that wonderful remedy, and it penetrated me so that I thought my foot was about to fall off, but it did not ; in fact il did just thc opposite. Tho next morning tho pAin had entirely left my foot, tho swelling was reduced, and really the appearance was so differ ent altogether from tho day before, that it actually surprised mo.
