it is a raro thing that i^t has been
the good fortun? of anjono to lis
ten to sermons of moro force, pow

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. Many caine forward
and availed themselves bf tho oj),

When thin Cruel War ix Over.
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.

How "Mlowllil" M'as Named.
Idlewild, tho homo of N. P. 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.' "-Chicago Times,

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

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

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

At this'moment tho servant appear

a gift from tho wounded soldior, who
from that day woro tho widow's mite at

Ono of tho most common signs of
want of breeding is a sort of uncoil)
fortublo consciousness of tho hands, an

them and a painful awkwardness tn
their adjustment. Tho hands of. a gen

to elegant repose, or, if they spontane
ously move,' it is attractively. Somo of
