This reminds me of an anecdote of Mr. Barclay a good old Scotchman in Columbia a memb -r of Dr. Palmers church. When Dr Pal men preached Mr. Barclay enclosed hiinse'i snugly in his pew and dozed away; when another preacher was in the pulpit, with ears erect an-l all at tenticn he watched the divine and when :atisfied that his the logy was strictly Calvinistic, resumed his -lum bers; on being interrupted why he did so he rplied "he knew Dr. Palmer was &:u!y orthodox, didn't know about the other fellows, he had to watch them."

All, all gone to the world of light, to some pur.: vast bcau-tous land, where one by one, th(e whom we loved and those who loved us, have arrived in safety, there to welcome us. On the hill south of' the village and on a hill over the creek north of the village lieth two villages white and still, where they await the resurrec tion morn.

I was seeking to catch "sidelong looks of love' from the beautiful black eye of a beautiful girl more dear to me than all the world.

James Kirk Menden khall was a splendid noble boy; the only one of my old Newberry school mates that became a preacher of the everlasting gospel and whose loving tones called sinners to wvalk in the light. Dr. Mendenhall's residence was one of the largest and best in the old vil lage and where boarded the principal of the Female academy, who gave to the grove the name Halcyon, and also a great lady Miss Saxon the mus iteacher. * How I love to dwell upon the good folks of the old town.

Ga.. re cently, "a horse swapping day." And they had plenty of swapping besides that of horses, and lots of fun. It is a great thing in this world to meet together and4 SWay and have inn. 1i a swaping day could he widen-d i its scope. and take inl all farm animnals, it really might be made quite usefuil ive overplus of one thing to fill up by swapping for things that he was short on-one kind of fowl, for instance, for another kind, or one kind of cattle for another kind. If each county would set aside a day as "swapping day," and meet at the county site, and ex change th.ings all around, we believe roal good might be ccomplished, and delightful acquaintanceship be achiev ed.
