They have had bitter enemies and they fiave been occasionally much maligned, bat when it comes to tho highest grace of all the grnce of loving kiudness, they cannot be beaten this Bide of hea ven. Pardon my partiality, for 1 real ly think so. Now, all this sweet talk has a pur pose,?it is a prelude to a suggestion to I ?be people of this generous State to set their generous hearts to a task be fore tbe summer vacation begins. And it is about to begin just now. Have you thought of your little or phan brothers and sisters? There are two hundred of them iu the Presby terian Orphanage at Clinton (Thorn 'we\L); there are two hundred more in the. Baptist Orphanage at Greenwood, fConnio Maxwell); there are nearly that many at the Methodist Orphanage (Epworth) at Columbia. T kuow something of the condition of these denominational Homes, for 1 have a .standing welcome at all of them. ?ud who ought to know them better than I? I know that at this sea #ton of the year they are always sorely pressed for iho necessaries of life, and I tfiiia little love letter to my bietbrenof 'the ?diff?rent denominations is to sug .. sesttfciU each on?of you-send at once, your check, or a barrel of flour, or rice or molasses or even a sack of grits to the Orphanage you love best. June .and July are tho best times to send "yiittf mow. Everybody with a heart (Might wfeel -it a privilege to do it. -At any of these homes, a nickle will Ctfpeacbilda pood meal and five dol lars will board a child for a month. There are six hundred of these chil dren in your Church Orphanages. And that does not count the Episcopal v anjsK-CftthpJic oomes in Charleston or tVftjj ChnficAfaMi Orphan House support ed fry the city -er the colored Industrial ^pliaaagea in Charleston and Colum Abiarun by those *wo goodcolored men, .Jenkins and Carroll, who deserve the help and sympathy of tho white people of this State. And I do hope they will xiot be forgotten. .Now, sit down quickly, dear friend, "before you take your own vacation, and before you forget it, and do some thing for the Institution that you love beat. This is the?eason when nearly everybody is fixing for a good tinie. VYoui dear little brothers and Bieters at ?io Orphanages ought to have a good 2 wc, too,. if-* Your friend and fellow citizen. W.

Sermon on Music. The Sem ea Correspondent of the Keowcu Courier, under date ot the i:ttIi inst., sayn: "On last Sabbath licv. t:. Wurdlaw, pastor of tho Baptist ehureh here, preached a line seimon in tho Baptist church upon the subject, 'Church Mus;.-.' At tin? day ol paid choir, so-culled lip song service, etc., the discourse was most timely, the. speaker taking a decided ami emphatic stund against the co-called 'all day singing*,' which are nothing more nor leHS than ull-day picnics. Mr. Ward law being a hearty co-worker with the choir of his church, and an ardent be liever in frond church music, whether instrumental or otherwise, his remarks may he taker, sciinusly, charitably and appreciatively. The history of music, its uses and abuses, were clearly and concisely dealt with and altogether the sermon was one of the pastor's very best." Mistrial in The Creamer Case.
