Tbero have boen many bright conversions, and it is a raro thing that i^t has been the good fortun? of anjono to lis ten to sermons of moro force, pow er and pathos than thoijo delivered by Rev. Wm. Rainwaters. On Friday ho took as a text tho parablo of tho sower ; a text well suited to his audience, who were composed of farmers. Tho preach er described the sowing and planting of the crop, tho cultiva tion and gathering of.tho same ; this was done in graphic terms, and his hearers hungjeloscly to thc plain, terse and homely words of truth as they fell froVn tho lips of this devout man of God. Ho then applied thc purnblosphitunlly and spoke of tho seed that fell by the wayside and those that foll among bries and among the stones ; he implored his hearers to remove tho briers and tho stones-he pain tod in tearful terms the spirit ual seed cloaked by the pl casu res ol' this world, and then in gent?o and persuasive tones ho showed thom tho way tn salva tion, and invited them to come and begin to sow seeds in tho ^ood ground.

And it came to pass iii tho four teenth year after '7?I, that Ren, the son of his lather, and an hon est farmer of the land ot Edgeficld, was sought out from among men and c locted Governor over tho t ribes of the land of South Caro lina. Forty and two years old was he wheu nominated ; and ho had a hard road to travel before ho reached tho goal, hut after many days of toil, (for ho was a he wer of stone and a drawer of water) and after having been scorned, re bilked, donouncod and insulted by thc wicked sons of King Ring Rule, ho got there all tho same, and did reign even in Columbia. And he did that which was right in thc sight of tho Lord ac cording to all that thc people de manded. lie removed tho high places and broke tho ring that had been op pressing tho poor j aud he did also break in pieces the constitu tion and tho laws of tho land, Which had been sanctioned and inot vetoed by the wicked tyrants, ?Chamberlain, Scott and Moses of old, and he did cut down expenses from Dan to Rershoba. And tho Lord was with him, and ho prospered whithersoever he went forth, and rebelled against the ring and served thom not. lie smote tho evil doors even un to tho son-coast, ami tho borders thereof, even from Sumter county to tho "battlements of thc battery in Columbia." And they would fain have bull dozed him within thc walls of thc Opera House, but verily ho oh te i' ll ot into pandemonium, remem bering tho cammandnionts of the fjord: "My eon, if sinners entice the, consout thou not." And the Governor did carry away some of tho Ringsters into captivity, and did put them in prison, oven in Columbia by the river Conga roo, because they did wickedly in tho sight of tho Lord, and against tax-payers of tho land of Carolina.-Clinton Gazelle.

Willis, JU tim Hudson, ia almost ns celebrated as Mount Vernon, whero Washington lived so long. Tho way it cuino to ro ceivo ita rather odd tuuno is Interesting. Mr. Willis loved tho Hudson river and its beautiful and . picturesque environs, ?md ho spent much tithe searching for tho spot ho ttnully selected, lt was n rough old fanner who sold him his property. Thu mtui tried to impress Mr. Willis with tho vuluoof tho hind for farming purposes, told him what it could lie made to yield In a year und how mindi steno ho had token from it and underbrush ho had burned, think ing this tho most valuable* information ho could give him. Hut Mr. Willis waa not nt nil Interested in these matters. What ho wanted SvnS a lino view of tho river mid nature In nil its loveliness. Tho bu I ti vat lon of the land was pre cisely what he did not cairo about. Ho wrtnd?red about the place With tho fanner, undetermined whether to buy it or not, when they cunio to a splendid gorge, whoso ningnifloent boun ty satisfied all tho longlngsof tho poet and dreamer. Ho stopped and gayo vent to a burst of enthusiasm and asked tho funner what ho would toko for that portion of his property. Tho man stared In amazement and evidently thought his customer was a madman; but cager to dlsposo of this uncultivated waste of land, ns ho thought it, ho said: "That bit of idlewild 1 That is not good for much; you may have lt for such a price," and ho named a low figure. Mr. Willis bought tho property on tho spot, avid decided at once that it should bo called "Idlewild."-Now York Press. Tho Al I Uri lo Initial. A Chicago lawyer who makes a good many speeches said: "I have mudo it ii rule never to men tion tho middle initial of union's miine, if ho has any, in my speeches. Thoro is a boodoo about the middle initial. I have known some mighty good mon who were stranded, temporarily ot least, on account of some speaker who in referring to such got the middle ini tial of tho nnine wrong. Tho publie caddies tho middle name of n public mun very quickly and it soon becomes JLS familiar as tho family name. And tim speaker who gobs tho middle initial wrong in a speech not only gets the laugh on himself, but ho makes the mun whose uumo bo thus mutilates look less prominent. "Tho other clay u Kentucky orator MeCord is bis name-was making a speech in the Democratic caucus, and bo referred to tho Into James (i. Heidi. The eifbitlell mit. 'Agood dpeo'n WIUJ ruined. MeCord will never hour thc last of that bud break. For a Ken tucklan not to know tho middle initial of the name of a man like Beck is an uupurxlonuhlc un. "I need only to refer to a similar lu eident that deourrcd in the Republican nat ional convention in this city in 1880, when Mr. James F. Joy in Ins nomina tion speech spoke of Mr. James H. Blaine. Of course Mr. Plaine was toe prominent to be affected by any break of this sort, but Joy never recovered from it. .'My advice to orators is: 'Steer eleni of the middlo initial.'

A gentloimni who bas brought r African boy froto a placo a thousai miles from the cou*t to London coi plained to the magistrate that tho ll was insubordinate. Ho knew that I must not Hog him or put him in iron which might havo boon done in Af rh or on board ship, and would havo tl desired effect, and in default of such proceeding ho wanted tho magistrate fiavo him put in tho colls for a fe lioui-s.

An aged Gorman gonoral \yoro only ono trinket, n much worn Gorman half penny, ct his watch chain. Ono day Iiis grandson asked tho reason of ita prosonco in tho piuco ot honor, und tho old gonoral answered by tolling n littlo romaneo. Huron ufulortio, tho grand son, narrates tho ?tory in bi? book, " 'Twixt Old Times and Now." Tho grandfather was so severely wounded at hoipsio in 1812 that ho was picked up for dead and thrown with thirty or forty corpses in a 'uimuion gravo. His sor Val it' having promised th J officer's father to bring Iiis non alive or dead, searched for his muster's body and found him still alivo. A stroiig constitution and tlio servant's nursing allowed tho ot?leor to bo removed ut tho end of ton days. Ills luther's house was a long distance from Leipsie, and tho country was over run by French patrols and marauders, Til? Journey homo was begun at night in a peasant'* cart drawn by mi old horse. Cross roads wero taken, and during tho day thoy rested at some farmhouse. Ono morning after traveling all night thoy reached a small villago and stopped in front of a baker's shop. Tho servant wont in to buy bread, leaving his master stretched on a bcd of straw and rags covorod with a mun tlo and wearing a soldier's old cap on Iiis bandaged head. Tlioro was noth ing to betray his rank, but on tho con trary ho seemed a poor wounded pri vato. A rx>ov wonjan Iii a tattered black gown, with a child in her arms, lookod in tho baker's window. Suddenly she saw tho wounded man. Glancing at tho halfpenny in her hand, and then looking at tho bread in tho window, she pressed tho coin into tho soldier's hand, and hurried oi? without saying a word. Slie hud sacrificed her own and lier child's breakfast that sho . '<?ht roliovo ono whose need sho thought greater thaw lier own. At this'moment tho servant appear ed, and by lils master's, order ran af ter tho poor woman. Overtaking lier ho dropped a gold piece hi her hand as a gift from tho wounded soldior, who from that day woro tho widow's mite at his chain. Tho Hund?. Ono of tho most common signs of want of breeding is a sort of uncoil) fortublo consciousness of tho hands, an obvious ignorance of what to do with them and a painful awkwardness tn their adjustment. Tho hands of. a gen tleman seem perfectly at homo without bohii/ oueuphui. Tildy ure .habituated to elegant repose, or, if they spontane ously move,' it is attractively. Somo of Queen Elizabeth's courtiers made play ing with their sword hilton accomplish mont, and tho most olileieut weapon of tho Spanish coquette is lier fun. Strength in tho flngors is a sure token of mental aptitude. When Mutius burnt Iiis hand off before tho oyes of his captor ho gavo tho most indubitable proof- wo can imagino of fortitudo, and it was natural tliut amid tho ferocious bravery of feudal times a bloody hand In tho center of an escutcheon should becomo tho badge of ti baronet of lang land.-Now York Lcdgor. fiyiid lentos ut Homo mid Al) roo il.

Tho idea of combining various uses in a singlo artiolo is a favorite ono with Inventors. "Tho combined cap, pil low and lifo preserver" is to bo inado of some air tight material. As a cap it looks liko tho doublo visored headgear which is considered tho thing for steamer wear. Tho center pulls out. What appears to bo a ventilator in tho top proves to bo a mouthpioco. You blow into it until tho interior ls about half filled with air, and you havo a very fair imitation of tho air pillow.
