Sinai is doing well. We spent three hours there last week,;and we mastisqy that it is rather ahead of any-?f the col? ored schools visited go far. The teacher appears to.be {rying.tofdo.' hia/du^^anfl is well spoken of by the 'neighbors and the^Tfastees. < :r The Bahamah School is under the care of l^^^^Kgnee^ihi^ekr, bot she has poor facilities for doing good work. The house'Is uncom for table, and no .teacher can do good,:efficient' work, with a string of boys and girls ranged in a semi-circle around an open-mouthed fire place that devours fuel like an insa? tiable monster, with tbe wind whistling in at a door that will not stay shot for want of a fastening, and around and through the window shutters, and pupils jumpiog\upvevery fewKminutes to. roast their shins. .From what we saw, we think Miss Nance's qualifications, are good, and experience will; teach' her many^ things that'Can be* learned in no other way.v< ;tThe school atIyy:jjpl.lpw.is..in,good. hands, as we plainlyiiaV from buir.first' entrance into' the Bchool room. We think the patrons have been fortunate in securing the services of Miss Sallie Gross, a Georgia lady with lots of South Caro Una blood in her ye in). There is an atmosphere of quiet, Belfpossession aboot the teacher that seems'to have a con? trolling influence overier pupils^! She. impressed usas thoroughly conscientious in her work, and as having a love for it. The people there think of ? moving! the school house to the'Church near by, and thus draw a larger support, and after looking over the ground, we are satisfied that it would be a wise movo. They seem to know a good thing down there, and propose to hold on to it by . keeping Miss'Goss for .eight or ten months. All the older teachers know Miss Bet tie Earle, for she has-been -'full of:good works" in the school rooms of the County for some year& rWe are glad -to say that she is still engaged in the work, and is located at Antioch. We found her up to her eyes in work, and after spending the remainder of the afternoon with her, we repaired to the hospitable home of her father*' Mr. E.*&Earle;:.at ETergreen, Where we sperit^ an^exceedingly plefuiant mglb^-The^aet; thBtr-Misa'Bettie-has been teaching around in that'neighbor? hood at different points for eome years, speaks well as to the esteem in which she is held. Evergreen has been noted in the annals of this County for a long? time, and over a half century ago there was a printing office there in which a paper called the Morning Waich was pub? lished, and "mine host" showed us a book printed there bearing the imprint of 1888. .. ? .. / . We made mention some time,ago of the colpred teachers who-were.-doing good work and gave them credit'and honor for it. But there are some who are not doing their dnty as they should. Somaofltir^.^olored patrorisv themselves have iodged -complaints at -this office because their teachers do not put in fall time. And last week after spending the forenoon until 10 o'clock with a white school, we drove to a neighboring col ored school and the teacher had not even opened school. We say ? to all those colored teachers, once for all, that they must put in full time, and the first case reported to this office, with proof to convict, ''trill have the license revoked. Moreover, some of the colored teachers complain that their pupils are habitu? ally late. We Bay to these people in all candor and sincerity, that we want them to have schools, bnt if they do not mani? fest their interest in the matter by a prompt and regular: attendance upon them, their schools" will be closed up. Pupils must not be on the road at 10 o'clock and back again at 2 p. m. The public money must not be frittered away. Those who are engaged in any calling in life should "magnify their office," and especially is this true of teachers. They are engaged in one of the noblest.callings in life?a calling more fraught with important interests than any, other, save only, that of the ministry. Whatever estimate they put upon their calling and their work, is just about the estimate that other people will put upon it.* If they think and act as though they were to be tolerated simply', rather than respect? ed and sought after, why it will be just about that way.. The teacher thiuid make himself .and his work a power in the community to lift up, to elevate and refine, and to educate not only the pupils under bis immediate care, but through them tbe people in tbe community. He and his work should be a fountain of blessing to every one within the radius of his influence, and he should be a drawing power to which all things in tbe community should tend, as the cenetrip etal force seeks tbe centre. To this end he should be active, industrious, ener? getic, in fact the Hvest man in the com? munity. Time was when it was thought that a lazy man was fit for nothing else but a school teacher, 'but that idea has long since been exploded, and there is now no place, in the educational ranks, for a lazy man or woman. There is no place for drones, and they are driven out of the hive &t> soon as their true character is discovered. That teacher is to be pit? ied who knows nothing but to walk into ;a school and sit down and hear recita? tions, and sooner or later he will be left far behind in tbe race. That is not school teaching, but simply and only school keeping, and it will not be long until be will, not only, not keep school, but the school will not keep him. Hence, we leave off as we began, "magnify your office." Drive things, don't let them drive you. Keep in front. ? For more tbau forty years, Ayert Cherry Pectoral has been successfully prescribed in cases of consumption. Tbe medicine always affords great relief in pulmonary diseases. Ask your druggist for it THAT AWFUL NIGHT When the Arp Family got a Move on 'Em, Atlanta Constitution. I was in my room answering' a batch of letters. The. mother and children were in'Ber room and the door was open, and about nineji- heard one-say: "Now, mamma,'* please tell us a story?we [:have gotten our lessons?please, mamma, 'tell us about something away back when you were a girl, or something. About the war'"' ?'- ' "Well, don't turn that chair over?sit up straight?you will break, a rocker off I if you don't mind. That is my war chair J and Ir want^ to keep it as loDg as I live. l^e^r^e'OrnVny^a cbrl?jn .Uiat chair ,and I've^seen, sorrow and sadnes3 in it, too. If the old arm chair of a mother or a grandmother} could 'speak "what a-life history: it could tell." "i-j ?? "But, mamma, we don't'want any sor? row or sadness now nor.anything about chairs. Please tell us something about when you run from the yankees won't you?" ....... v ? "Oh, you worry me. You know tnat I don't love to talk about the war nor .the yankees. I wish that I could forget all about both. It seems to me now, that I lived twenty years in those four ? years 6f-j the war. But let me tell you about that chair and why ! call it'rijy'war chair. It is the only chair that we saved from the wreck-^pne cbalrland 'one bedstead. We found them at-:ar neighbor'* house, when we came back to Borne. The yan? kees carried off everything else, carpets, bureaus* bedsteads, bedding, tables, china, "picWes,-and-^I don't know what all. The house was full of nice things, the kitchen' wasijfull and:'the smoke house and the cabin where the boys slept. I had a beautiful' work's tan d- that cost thirty I dollars and a telegraph operator shipped I that to his h'Ome. in Indiana, and long after the .war,he" wrote pa a letter and said he had itand. felt bad about it and would return it or buy it just as we said. So your.pa wrote him a very beautiful letter and asked him to ship it back to us by express, for it was a birthday present; but we never heard from hint again. He dident feel as bad as he thought he did. He was written to again, but he played possum and made out like.he. was dead. Ho had better not die if he knows - what is good..for him. Those.yankees got lets'-of nice things from us, and they lived high off our smokehouse and p an try. There were .thirty nice large hams bang? ing away up on the top, and there were shoulders' an'd midlings and sides and two large cans of leaf lard and a barrel of j soap." v t *- ? * ' ??"Why, what made you leave all.those, things?couldn't you have taken them along in a .wagon^,''. .. "Why^, childre^ we had no wagon and no time; we didn't know we had to go uutil midnight. The. town and the su? burbs was-full of our Eoldiera, enough to whip the whole, yankee nation. Why, we had company to supper that night, and'had strawberries and cream. We haden't been-to bed- long before we were told to get up, for Gen. Johnson was fall? ing back and our troops were all leaving Rome.and the .everlasting yankees were com i og gigbi in. Just then they, began to'throw' their singing, sizzing-shells over the town to scare us and make us more lively. ? They burs ted in the air and scar? ed us almost to dealh. I never thought about furniture or anything else, bat getting, my. children^; out of. danger. I haven't got over it yet. We got tangled op'in the street among our soldiers and the artillery wagons and couldn't move for two hours. The shells kept coming and by and by the up town bridge was set on fire to keep the yankees back until we all could get across the other river and burn; that bridge. Ob, it was an aw? ful night But we won't talk about that. I had rather toll yon how glad I was to get back home again after eight months of exile. Eight long months .of running around with half a dozen children who were about half naked and always hungry. Your pa was away holding court in Macon and I had'just to bum'around from place to place and impose on kin and friends who were scared too. I tell you I was happy when we got back to our old home, desolate as it was. We lived hard and rough for awhile until we got our bale of Bheeting and that helped us out wonderfully. We sold sheeting for chairs and tables, and bedstead*, and potatoes and sorghum." "Where did you get it mamma." "Well, just before old Sherman run us away your pa managed to get a bale of | yard wide sheeting and he hid it. in the smokehouse. Confederate money had got so bad that nobody wanted it. It wouldn't buy anything hardly. Salt was a great deal better thai money, and so wax ?ugar.and tobacco, and shirting or anything to make clothing out of. Shoes were splendid currency. Your grandpa had two calf skins, and he tanned them with ashes and rubbed about-half the hair off and got an old cobbler to make shoes for my children, and you never saw such things in your life, but they were a good deal better than none. The night we ran away that bale of Bheeting was put in a wagon that belonged to a friend, who was running away, too, and it was left several miles away with a good wo? man who set it up in the corner of her room and put a vallance over it and a looking glass on top like it was a dressing table and bo the yankees diden't find it. When we came home we had the bale hauled in and went to trading on it and we lived on it, for it was better than greenbacks. But there was not' much to buy in all that region?no corn, no flour or cattle. Your pa went down in Ala? bama and got ten bushels of corn and kept it hid out in the country and had only half a bushel ground at a time." "What for, mamma. What was he afraid of?" " Why, the - robbers and deserters and outlaws who were prowling all over the country like buzzards after dead horses. They robbed everybody who had any? thing. One nignt they came in town and robbed ofd man Quinn, and he made so much fuss about it that Mr. Omberg ran over there and tbe robbers shot him and killed him for coming. They hung up men by the neck to make them give up their gold or their eil ver ware. One night they hung up a little Dutchman, and as ANDERSON, S. C, ' his toe; just touched the ground be Bcreamed out, 'fSving away, sving away j I tells you oottiogs, but I meets you in hell all de same, and den I svingB you oop." "Did they kill him, mamma?" "No, children, no They let him down and gave him a drink and told him to go. But the funniest thing you ever saw was your pa's store. He and Bob Hargrove had the biggest storehouso in town, and they put twenty thousand dollars' worth of gcods in it and went to trading." "WJxy, where did they get the goods, mamma ?" "Well, there was a man in jail in Sel? ms, and he wrote to your pa to come down and get him out and he would give' him ten thousand dollars. So he went and got him ont and got the money and j paid half of it for a pound of opium and the other half for four dozen cotton cards on the leaf?that is they had no backB nor handles. It was just "the wire stuck in the leather, and he brought home the whole stock in a little valise. Mr. Har? grove put in a half box of tobacco and a few;bunches of factory yarn fori his ten thousand dollars and they went to'trad? ing. You cauld have put the .whole stock in a big wheelbarrow. They sold the opium at five dollars an ounce in gold-and-the cards at two hundred dollars a: pair In confederate- money. You see all the cards-in the country were worn out and the women were in a bad fix,' so they-would club together , and. : bring in chickens and potatoes and'Sor? ghum and old bacon and trade for a pair of cards." "Well, mamma what did you all .sleep on when-yon first came ?" ! "Whyrwe Dorr^we/Ta' couple of. mat-'J tresses and slept on "*the floor, and we cookVed in a skillet.' .tfe.had so little 'to cook that we got along very well. We had oo : sugar .nor coffee nor -milk n?r;| flour.' i Your pa heard of a cow somewhere. and paid three tbonsand dollars for her ?confederate money was almost as plenty as the leaves on the trees?everybody had a pocketfull. Hundred dollar bills were common, but they woulden't buy any thing-' hardly except a drink of mean whisky. Some of tho cavalry soldiers used to give a hundred dollar bill for a drink, so they said. Before ? the' money goi so bad your grandpa sold his-farm for fifty thousand dollars and moved to away down country to. get out of trouble and he invested his money in cotton, in Columbus, and Wilson's raiders came along acd burned it. Poor man. But he was like Job. He never lost his in? tegrity nor his cheerful disposition. I never , heard him complain about any? thing. tell on, mamma. "Well, you must know that Sherman wanted'to make the people tired of war, and so. he took away all their horseB and mules and everything that they hadn't hid away io tbe EwampB. The men were most all in tbe army, and the women and children did the best they could, and bid some things' until the yaukees went away. Sam Jones and a few dare devils hung on their flanks and stole horses and mules most every .night and hid them away off in the swamps. Sam was nothing but a boy of sixteen, but they say that he stole over one hun? dred and'gave* them all away to the poor people who had lost.;their stock. You see he got some old blue yankee clothes and put them on and went about among the guards who had charge of the extra horses and he made out like he was a yankee too and he generally carried with him a deck of cards and got them drunk and before morning he would have several ot their horses and mules away off in a swamp. He was just as full of] mischief then as he is now, though his mischief was of a different kind. He was fighting the yankees; then'and he ia fighting the old boy^now and. there isent much difference after all. "Why, you ought to. have Been our smoke houses when we got home. They had converted it into a bakery and had the finest bread troughs y?? ever heard of. They made them out of the Presby? terian church pews and they built a great long stable on Our lot of the church lumber. Their hone troughs were made of the pews, and the pulpit was scattered around. 'We cleaned out the smokehouse and dug up the dirt and boiled it down and made salt of it. Smokehouse dirt that has received the drippings of Baited meat for years make splendid table salt when it is boiled down and clarified. We made right good coffee out of dried sweet potatoes. I used to make hats for my children out of j old scraps of cassimere. Your pa built a fence and a boat without a nail. He bored holes in the plank and pinned them on with wooden pins. The war' made us all 'powerful ehifty/ as Cobe Bays, and bo we got along pretty well. The children all kept well and strong until the war was over and doctors came home from the army. And there was no law suits nor courts until the lawyers came back." "You have to thank the yankees for that much, don't you mamma ?" "No ; I don't thank the yankees for anything. They run me and my little children all over this country like we were dogs. Your pa makes out he has forgiven them and is trying to. harmon? ize and all that, but they never have apologized to me yet or shown any humanity and repentance." Oh, my country. I'm afraid this generation of war women will never be harmonized. They know too much and suffered too much. They mix and min? gle right nicely with our northern friends as long as the war is not mentioned, but it won't do to discuss that for it makes the fire fly and keeps them from being calm and serene, Bill Asp. ?A shingle nail was found in a perfect? ly fresh egg recently by a farmer near Niles, Mich.

P. Boyce, which attracted a large audience of Christians, including all the prominent Baptist ministers in that city and most of the professors from the Theological Seminary. The eloquent oration was unique in character, and certainly does credit to the head and heart of the gifted Rabbi, who was a warm personal friend of Dr. Boyce. In order {.that our readers may see for themselves what a devout Jew has to say concerning an eminent and consistent Christian, we give the address as it appeared in the Louisville Commercial on the 6th instant: "What is the name of the-distinguish? ed Israelite upon whom the Rabbi of one of ? the -greatest' Congregations in the Un1te?^t'6taies- fs' about to deliver a eulogy, at the eye of the Sabbath ? To what noble Jewish family does he trace back his pedigree, or to whom in' this congregation was he related ? To what great synagogue did he belong, whose departure from earth we lament, and whose loss we mourn with countless mil? lions in this and other lands ? He was a Gentile" of the Gentiles, a Christian ofj the'Christians; o'f the purest Anglo American blood, with a long line of Anglo-Saxon ancestors. The Rev. Di* Boyce was a member of the Baptist denomination ; a far-famed teacher of ? theology in general, and the Baptist belief in particular. He was for a generation the firmiiest pillar on which the Baptist: church rested. Why do I come to praise his life and exalt hia.name in this Israel itish congregation ?. Because I have loved and reverebce&himv-as one ? of the purest and best-of mortals; because I have known him to bea' righteous and upright man, who walked humbly in'the sight of^Qpd. As a'Jew and as a rabbi, I rise- to .bear witness to the. greatness of his. character,-the purity and beauty of his life, and the sterling qualities that distinguished him. He was not a Jew, but of that race we call'the children of God.' He was not related to us by blood, but we were bound together by the holy bonds of morality, "The key and mainspring of Dr. Boyce'3 life was his humanity. His was a quick and strong sympathy with all that is truly human, in every guise and in whatever peoplo.it is found. He had an immediate and profound fellow feeling with the joys and sorrows of his fel? low-beings ; he was miserable at the side of misery and he laughed with those who joyeoV' No matter whether in Jew or Protestant, Methodist or Baptist, he de? lighted in recognizing true worth. His heart went out to those in whom he saw the spark of truth and intellectual yearn? ing. His heart was a golden vessel full to the brim of the milk of human kind? ness, and at a touch overflowed in all directions:1 He was' charitable at all times and -lavish with his money, and it may be truly said df Boyce that his right hand did not know what his left hand gave away. This deep humanity and sympathy made him, as nearly as a mortal man can be, an absolutely just man. From my knowledge of him, 18m convinced that Dr. Boyce in his whole life never did, consciously, a wrong to any being. If he had believed that he had wronged any one, he would have traveled hundreds, thousands of miles to do justice and on his knees ask pardon. He was a perfect gentleman in the highest, broadest sense; the ideal of chivalry. He could not have been rude to any one, even if he had tried, for his ever wakeful sympathy would not permit him to inflict pain. "In that man's countenance, wit and kindness were so blended that we could not discern where kindness ceased and wit began. Men who had conversed with him left bis presence thinking more highly of themselves' and feeling that they were better men for having been with him. That same force of sympathy built.a noble, splendid character. What Dr. Boyce wished to see in individuals and communities was righteousness and loving kindness, and he strove to make these qualities incarnate in himself. His character was to love what is beautiful, what is good, in all that the nations of the earth have brought forth in ancient or modern times. Like the noblest of his race, he wished to leave to the heritage of mankind the wealth of his intellectu? al attainments. Therefore, he accumu? lated knowledge, and that not dead matter, but.living forces. He stamped it with the spirtual character of his mind. He was a man who made knowledge use? ful to himself and to mankind. To him time was of infinitely more value than money?it was moral growth, men? tal acquisition and manly improvement. He was one Of the most learned and wisest men of the present generation, as his books attest. He was, by nature, of a vigorous, vivacious and profound mind; clear cut, but not of much imagination. His Abstract of Theology is a masterpiece. Concede his premises, and yon are car? ried by his logic irresistibly to his con? clusions. He marshals his facts like a general. In this, his last and greatest work, the Old Testament and the New Testament meet and blend under the touch of his master mind, "Think what, a man can make of him? self. He was comparatively a young man, not yet sixty-two years of age. He was a good father, a fine scholar, a great writer, a patriot and a soldier, and the successful financier of a great institution. Aside from all these, what could he not have accomplished ? Had he turned his at? tention to politics what a Senator ho would have made! What a President! If be had been thrown among savages he could have tamed and civilized them,- for he -was a born leader of men. So much gentleness and kindness, mingled '. with a determined and unconquerable .will; bis character was bnilded on a .solid rock, while beneath it ? welled a fountain of living water. He was a God-fearing, a God-seeking and a God loving man. Many a time did it occur to me that such are the generation that see God; and I seemed to see in him the genuine Israel? ite of God. Before I came to Louisville I knew Christianity only in books, and it was through such men as Boyce that I learned to know it bb a living force. In that man I learned not only to com NG, JANUARY 31, prebendj bat to respect and reverence the Bpirtual power called Ch-istianity. I differed from bis tenets, bat I learned that the gulf that separates the old from the new Israel is principally in' words* At the core of each there is the same divine love. The duty of all is to make men more God-like?the Christian Israelite in his way and the Jewish Israel? ite in his way. Since I learned to know men like Boyce, I know that his religion cannot be anti-Israelite and can not be opposed to those troths that we hold most dear. God grant that Christianty may long continue to produce such men as he, for such men as Dr. Boyce bring: heart to heart and draw us all toward that goal of which we have only glimpses?tbat:is;God and the Kingdom of Righteousness forever." Sport in Dakota, The only buffaloes that can be heard of now in the Northwest are. corralled. There is a.herd of eighty-four at Winne peg, and it has just been sold to a Kansas mail for $18,000. Fifty-six of- the ani? mals are thoroughbreds. They have been kept on aifarm owned by the war? den of the penitentiary at Winnepeg,* who got them from the brother of Dr. J. 0. Alloway, Territorial Veterinary Sur? geon of Dakota. Recently some of these buffaloes were bred to fine polled Angus bulls. The result was a powerful steer with a rich, warm hide and a handsome mane. Their' hides? are clikely to- be. more valuable than the robe.' Hqw: suc? cessfully the interbreeding of buffaloes with domesticated cattle can be -carried on it is too early .to say. Buffalo skins already tanned could be bought around here for $6 each only a short time ago. Now you cannot get a good one for less than $80 or $35. These hides are be? coming scarcer and scarcer every month. Deer has never been so plentiful as now in Dakota; and hunters report the prai? ries'tb be foil of antelopes. Bed foxes, swarm ? all over the country; their fur.is. very fine and they have enormous" tails. Beaver and otter are protected by law for several years to come. Bears also are in great demand amongst sportsmen as the following lines, will illustrate: The Mar? quis De Mores was the most enthusiastic spcrtsman-in the country and spent most of his time tracking deer and bears. One day a New Yorker came out. to Bee him on business. . As his business was important and his time valuable, .the New Yorker followed the young noble? man's trail. He found him lying beside a dead horse,, with a huge bo wie knifein his hand. "I can't talk about business with you now," said the Marquis. "But the matter demands immediate attention," urged - the tenderfoot. "Well, now, if you insist on it, you may stay and talk to. me, but I'll be frank enough to tell you what you< may expect. What do you Buppose I. am doing here?" "I can't imagine." "Well, Fvb killed bears in all styles but in a hand-to hand fight with a knife. I have an ambition for a real personal encounter. This is the best place for bears I know of, and the horse you see .was killed as a bait. I expect a good, lively bear along at any minute. If you care to wait I am sure you would be interested, perhaps amused." The Eastern man saw that the Marquis was in earnest. "I guess I will go to your ranch and wait for you," he said hurriedly. ''Of course, it would be a grand sight to see you kill a bear with a knife, but I must deny myself the pleasure. If I stayed I might keep the bear away,, you see." Uow to Introduce People. "I do dislike to introduce people to each other," said Eva to me one day last week. "Why, pray?."Tasked. "Itseems to me a very simple thing."

Here are two very interesting questions and well suited to a Sunday morning like this: "I was wandering aimlessly through New York streets yesterday when an incident occurred which set me think? ing. First, I met two Catholic priests, and almost immediately afterward a Protestant clergyman. The priests Were evidently well fed, well clothed and well cared for generally. On the other hand, the clergyman had a look of anxie? ty which not only excited my sympathy, but started?oy thinking .machine ago? ing. ' - -? ' : . . ' "I asked myselffhese. two questions : Are priests as a rule less^harassed than clergymen 2 and, Wbyiaitiso; if it be true? "Will the Herald answer ?" - Yes, your observation is correct. The priesthood as a body show very much less of the wear and tear of life than the clergy. This is a notable fact. At fifty the priest has none of those furrows ra 'diating.from the outer corner of the eye known as crows' feet, his forehead has few wrinkles and his general appearance is that of a man well preserved and likely to live to a green old age. The clergyman, on the other hand, shows by his face that he has had a good deal of a struggle and that it has told on his vitality. The lines which indicate both hard work and great re? sponsibility are growiqg ..deeper, and his bearing is that of a' man who has wrestled with circumstances, and. not always with entire success or. satisfac? tion.. Why .is this ? Well, the cause is' to be found in the two systems. A priest is well cared for physically. He is the property of the church to which he has dedicated his life. He has no anxieties as to rent or food, and no family whose present welfare or future prospects excite his concern. He is simply and only a Bpirtna! agent in the hands of ? great organization. His home is assured, his table is properly provided, his duties are assigned, he is not called upon to look out for the uncertainties of life, because there are none, and when old age over? takes him he has a roof over his head, friendly hands to minister to his necessi? ties and a place for his body when the tired heart has worn out its stock of life. Not so with the clergyman. He de? pends on his own individual efforts and on his natural gifts for his position and income. He has a family to support, boys who must receive an education and be prepared for a business career, girls who are to be carefully trained in the accom? plishments as well as the practical duties of life. Moreover, in too many instances his tenure of office and therefore of salary, may be imperilled either by an act of imprudence on his own part or a caprice on the part of his congregation. A rash sentiment, either in the pulpit or out of it, or, worse than that; a strong expres? sion of an honest'conviction concerning any subject?theological, political or moral?may give rise to an opposition that will subject him to unendurable harrassment, and lead at least to an im? plied or direct notice to quit. His chief business may be?and is said to be?to please the Lord, but he frequently 'finds himself in such a predicament that he must choose between pleasing the Lord and pleasing the people. If he pleases the people he loses his self-respect, but keeps his income; if he pleases the Lord he may gain the satisfaction of martyr? dom, but he loses his salary and endan? gers the prospects if not the happiness of his family.' When he gets to be old he finds that churches are in search df younger'men. He has laid up nothing?how could he ? The church to which he belongs can't take care of him to any great extent, and he sees only too vividly that it is an unpardonable crime to be sixty years of age. The only thing left' is to become a book agent or an under secre? tary in some religious organization, and since he can't die he must wear out his latter days as a supernumerary who is in the way of everybody. True, some denominations have a care for their aged poor, their worn and tired servants, but you can't get rid of the fact that the Protestant clergyman who is foolish enough to grow old finds that Jordan is a rough road to travel. The difference which our correspon? dent has noted between the priest and the clergyman is is difference in the two religions systems. The priest never has any care or anxiety?bo far as physical wants are concerned. The clergyman always has a great deal of both. That, it seems to us, is a fair answer to the two questions. A Wonderful Well. One of the most remarkable of the wonderful things of whioh Pittsburg boasts, is the combination well that has been struck at the cracker factory of S. S. Marvin & Co. It produces at one and the same time cold water as sweet as the dew that falls from heaven, salt water as briny as old ocean's waves, and a flow of gas that when ignited illuminates the entire surroundings. The well was drilled some time ago, Mr. Marvin's idea being to get a supply of pure cold water for use in his bakery in the summer and during flood times, when the city water is not desirable. At one hundred feet the fresh water was struck, and at two hundred, feet the salt water and gas were found. Two casing3 were inserted, one engine is started and the gas lighted, for the salt water and gas, the other for the fresh water; and now, when the spectators behold the wonderful sight of fresh water, salt water and fire all coming cut of one well at the same time. ? Strange as it may appear, a ball of a ton weight and'another of the same mate? rial of an ounce weight, falling from any height will reach the ground at the same time. ?

All opposition to the re-election of Mr. Berry to the United States Senate, has died ont and he will without donbt be his own successor. There was talk of Governor Hughes, but he never stood any chance at all from the start against Berry's popularity, which has made him successively Representative, Judge, Gov-. ernor and Senator. Berry's history reads like a romance. He was born in Missis? sippi, I think, and at the age of sixteen enlisted in the Confederate army, an ig? norant country boy, with neither educa? tion nor'fortune or polish. He left a leg at Shiloh,' and after the war settled at Ozark,' Franklin County,' where he went to school, working nights and morning for his board. Afterwards he moved to Carroll County, becoming a school teach? er, and when he had saved money enough he burnished a house and, writing to Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and I most accomplished belles in the placo to come and share it. She was willing, but her parents would not listen to such a thing. Berry then Bhowed for the first time that indomitable pluck that has since overcome all obstacles. He closed his school, crossed the mountain, and by the aid of a friend and a ladder stole his lady-love from-a second story window. They were married and shortly afterwards the young pedagogue was elected to the Legislature, but the old man, whose daughter he had won- after the style of Middle Age chivalry could not forgive him. For years, however, Berry's wife and I children were annual visitors at the Ozark homestead, because he insisted on it, though toe doors were closed to him. He came out of the State Legislature a lawyer, and a good one, too. When his constituents elevated him to the Circuit Judgeshiphis father in-law often referred to him as "my son-in-law, Judge Berry," but never spoke to him. Tn 1882 the "Great Northwest" brought Berry, out j for Governor and he was nominated by acclamation and elected by 40,000 majority. It must have been a broad and happy day for the Judge when his wife's father wrote to him: "My daughter was a better judge of men than I. Forgive me, I and, curing your administration, when ever you want to slip away from the capi- I tal to enjoy a brief respite from the cares of State, I do not invite but beg you to make my country house your home." Mr. Berry is now near the close-of his first term in the. United States Senate, having been elected four years ago to filj the unexpired term of Senator Garlandj and, .the Attorney General excepted, is a head and shoulders above any man in Arkansas, both in point of intellect and popularity.?Judge Ihompson in the St. J Louis Republic. j Marry & Gentleman. A writer in Women at Work advises girls, if they would be happy in married life, to marry a gentleman. He thus defines what he means by the term: A true gentleman is generous and un? selfish. He regards another's happiness and welfare as well as his own. Ton will see the trait running through all his actions. A man who is a bear at home among his sisters, and discourteous to his mother, is just the man to avoid when you come to the great question which is to be answered yes or no. | A man may be ever'so rustic in his early surroundings, if he is a true gentle? man he will not bring a blush to your cheek in any society by his absurd be? havior. There is an instinctive politeness inhe? rent in such a character, which every? where commands respect, and makes its owner pass for what he is?one of na? ture's noblemen. Do not despair, girls; there are such men still in the world. You need not all die old maids. But wait until the princes pass by. . No harm in delay. You will not be apt to'find him in the ball-room, and I know he will never be seen walking up from the liquor saloon. Nor is he a champion billiard player. He has not had time to become a "champion," for he has had too much honest, earnest work to do in the world. I have always observed that the "cham? pions" were seldom good for much else. Be very wary in choosing, girls, when so much is at stake. Do not mistake a passing fancy for undying love. Marry? ing in haste rarely ends well, ? The Rome Tribune tells at length and with pardonable pride of tie success attending the efforts of Mr. D. E. Shelton, a young farmer of Floyd County, Ga., residing but a few miles from Rome. It is worthly of publication, as an example and incentive, outside of Georgia. Mr. Shelton went from South Carolina to Floyd County thirteen years -ago, when but 17 years old, and started farming $2, 100 in debt, without experience and without money. Two years ago he had paid every dollar of his debt, and had purchased and paid for 1,300 additional acres of excellent land, all out of the proceeds and profits of bis farm, and the whole proceeds of this year's staple crop stands to his credit in the bank. Mr. Shelton has lived ont from the beginning the plain old policy of making his pro? visions at home, and raising his cotton exclusively as a surplus crop. It has required courage and endurance and fidelity to maintain this policy, but the result in Mr. Shelton's case has amply justified the sacrifice. At the recent exposition at Rome Mr. Shelton made the finest single exhibit ever made by a private farmer in the State. His six months-old pigs took tho premium above all competitors, and when he killed them the other day, at 8 months and -11 days old, they averaged 288 pounds net, break? ing the Southern record of 8 months' pigs. ? According to the Atlanta Conititu tion, an Alabama man charged with stealing a calf, made the following statement: "I was always teached to be honest, an' most always have been, but when I seed that calf I caved. I never wanted a calf so bad in all my life, an' you all know that when a man wants a calf he wants him." The jury returned the following verdict: "We,9 this jury, air satisfied that Steve stold the calf,, but as the feller that owned the j animal is considerable of a slouch, we agree to clear Steve an male the slouch pay tho costs."
