Parents.?Tt is all important if any practical good is to come from a consideration of tho subject before us that wo have settled and correct I views thereof. In other words we must believe that with the divine direction nnd blessing on our eiforts, as parents, our children will grow up not only moral and honorable, but Christians. To accomplish anything worthy of effort, in any department of. life, wc must have a fixed and definite aim before us. Aimless labor, however ear nest, never results in anything valuable. "Would the farmer endure the heats of summer, ami bear the fatigue incident to husbandry, with the conviction deeply wrought in Ins on mind, tlmt no valuable results were to follow? Xo, the farmer plows and sows in hope. He expects to realize an equivalent for all his expenditure ol money and physical strength. "Would the student con his boolcs, trim the midnight lamp, cut loose from the joys of society, and for years submit to the severe discipline and dull routine of academic duties, without the firm conviction that all this would be followed by the most certain and valuable results in nftoi It is Ihc man who docs not believe that laudable, -well directed effort will be followed by its appropriate reward, who lails iii the great mission ol' life; "According to your faith, so be it unto you," may apply in the secular no less, than in the spiritual walks of life. Let any one hold the conviction that he can never becomc an artist, a mechanic, a scholar, and as certainly as the sun shines or Ciod exists, tho result will be in accordance with tho faith held. So let tho parents and the Church hold that children cannot be made to grow up in the fear and love of God, as the result of a judicious, scriptural training, or what is equivalent to such a faith, let them hold no scttied views, or cherish no definite aims 011 the subject, and all that they believed will lif* rr?nlivi-??1 Isor is the result to be wondered at. Having no faitli in the result of effort in that direction, no effort was made. Men when luft free to act, with reference to all subjects, act as the}' believe. To believe, therefore, that "children are a heritago of the Lord," and should be, through proper culture, ana religions training kept for Him, is to secure in most eases, corresponding effort to believe the contrary, is to doom to spiritual neglect, ^and too often, spiritual ruin, the children when God entrusts to our call. But what warrant have wo to expect thnt children properly trained, may aye will Income Christians in early life, bo early, that, as has been the ease with thousands, they may never know tho time when their natures were renewed? Oar answer is, "God's sure word oj testimonyStrip the Bible of every thing "relating to the subject, but the 4th verso of tho 6th chapter of Ephesians.

Schools. fi Ma. Editou :?Wo have had during ^ t!>o past season a highly interesting q and profitoblo cxcrciso in our Sabbath- j schools, which we think worthy of a ^ placc on record, for the encouragement ar.d emulation of others, as well ^ as for tho credit of those who participated in it. Having experienced some 8j difficulty in former years In kocping up the interost in our 6chools, wo de termmed to o^perimont a little on ~ the prize sj-etcm, awarding premiums 01 to tlioso who might excel in certain 81 departments. Accordingly, the pa6? n lor offered a prize, in cach school, to the ono who would commit and recite ihe groatest number of vorsos, in addition to their other recitations, from the first ot May until the first a. of .Noveiubor. At the same time, suggested that each toachcr also award a prize lo tho .one who excelled in ^ tbeir respective classes.. The rocitations were semi-monthly at each P church, unless ihe pastor was absent, when tho intervols were longer. In the Long Cane Church*, commencing tho 3J Sabbath of May and ending j, the let Sabbalh of November, tho ^ result was as follows: The first class ^ of young ladies, consisting of six ^ members,, recited in the aggregate w 3,900 verses?two or three members ?> of iho clafs reciting only a few lesions.

This fear and the disturbances tliat have ccurred in the up country is the reason iven, and seriously urged by sorae^for tho itroduction of a bill to organize a militia jrce, not exceeding thirty thousand men. )ue section of the bill, it is said, proposes a organize the Goveruor to enlist men ulside of the Stato, who have served in the ' cderal army, possibly somo of Sherman's utumers, and to elation them in such ouuues as E-Igefield, Abbeville and Newerry, the inhabitants of which are to be t>ecially taxed for.their pay and support. is proposed also, in order to avoid the anstiiutioonl provision prohibiting any late from keeping a stauding army, to all them militia, but to give them the ime pay aa soldiers of the United Slates riny.
