Grigsby, liidgway. H. Wi Lawaon; Abbeville. John B. O'Neill, Nowborry. Ii adv Evangels.??Mr. Varley having , loft New, York, two lady evangelists, Miss Beard and Miss Logan, carry on the -work insti? tuted by him there, and their suc? cess i?.by no means insignificant. Miss Logan is the elder of the two, being on the shady side of forty. She dresses in sober drab, without ornaments, and her face denotes a predominance of the intellectual faculties. Her eyes are gray, her nose aquiline, and her lips thin and colorless. Miss Beard, however, is somewhat modern, with bright eyes and rnddy complexion. Sho wears a black sUk dress, and flowers and purple trimings in her spring bon? net. The ladies alternate in their work, Miss Beard leading in prayer and exhorting the hearers while her companion gives out tho hymns ono day, arid Miss / Logan taking her place next day. Their sermons are spirited and persuasive, abound? ing in exhortations and appeals to become soldiers of the cross, accompanied by a running firo of | after quotations from the Scrip? tures, the chapter and verse being given each time. They speak with the earnestness of conviction, with? out any attempt at: tho graces of elocution; when they havoooneluded their appeals they request all those who have accepted Jesus as their Saviour to stand up. Those who remain seated are then exhorted privately by the evangelists, while several brethren engage in prayer. CuTTiJiQ Flowers.?Never cut flowers during intense sunshine, nor keep thorn exposed to the son or wind. Do not collect them in large, bundles, or tie them together, as this hastens their 1 decay. Bo not pull them, but cut them cleanly! off the plant with a sharp knife? not with scissors. When taken in? doors, place them in the shade, and reduce them to the required ] length of stalks with a sharp knife, by which the tubes, through which they draw up the water, is permit? ted to ascend freely; whereas, if the stems are bruised or lacerated, the pores are closed up. Use pure water to set them in, or pure white sand in a state of saturation, stick? ing the ends of the stalks into it, but not in a crowded manner. If in water alone, it ought to be changed daily, and a thin sclice should be cut off the ends of the stalks at every change of water. A. Ward to tue Negroes.? Commenting on the remark of Henry Wilson that something more must be done to improve the condition of tho negro, tho Augusta ConstitulionaliM commends to him and men of his kidney the follow? ing scrap from the writing of Artemus Ward: Feller Sitesuns: The Africau ma be our broth or. Severil hily respec? table gentlemen and sum femails toll us so, and for argyment sake I mite be induced to grant it, tho I don'tbolievb it myself. But the African isn'tour sister, our wife, and our uncle. He isn't severil of our cousins, and all our wives relu shuns; He isn't our grand-father and our aunt in the country. Scarcely. And yet numerous per? son would have us think so. It is troo he runs Congress and severil other public groBserys. But we've got the African, or he's got us rather; now, what are we going to do about it? He's an orfnl noo sance. P'raps ho isn't to . blame for it P'raps no was created for sum wise purpose, like Bill Harding and New England rum, but it is mity hard to see it. At any rate, he's here, and it's a pity he kan't go orf sum whares quietly by him? self wharo ho oood gratify his am? bition in varis wane without havin an eternal fuss kickt up about him. Time is money, and many people pay their debts with it. Washington, 31st March, 1875.
