Invitation—The Ciceronian So

once every three mouths a meeting

yearn congregational meeting, belong
to Old Fogy ism, but not to the goc*

Bashong’s meeting which we have
already mentioned, lasted several

to the church of twenty-five

“1 have written thus plainly under
the supposition that my comm
tion and notes Co yoa were received,
bat if they were not, then all reflec
tions open yoor conduct in this
ter are hereby withdrawn. If
ever they were received, nod yoa
still refuse to pablieh, then 1 again
earnestly request yoa to return my
communication to me, and also that
you send a bill of my indebtedness
on account with the Visitor. I do
not suppoee that the discontinuance
of my subscription to the Viaitor will
kill it, but I can not lend my aid in
the support of a sheet whuee editor
persistently refuses to do a simple
act of justice to an aggrieved
brother.”
Our Amtcer—Jtfy dear brother,
you ale putting the kuife to one,

yon. Well, it will neither kill eor
scare us. We ace doing just what
is right, j. We hove not relied on our
own judgment, We have consulted
impartial brethren, and they justify
us and our course. Only harm could
result, if we published yoor article,
and your own object would net be
accomplished ; those for whom you
wrote do not take the Viaitor. As
regards returning your communica
tion, we have published again nod
again, that we do net return rejected
communication*. We eon not afford
it. We would have to pay fotter
postage on all such papers, sod it
would be quite an item in our month

to ask it of u*. As regards tbe die

The AIXULNCK.—The Standard

the Alliance “(eft behind it nothing

Han* Amleraeu, the Dane, once
traveled from Kougcri* Nyetoro to
A mager, .rod although the dnOauce
is ouly four miles, he told things
that no traveler ever saw before «>r
siuce. We have traveled huudreda
of mile*, and to follow prccedout
ought to write at least one hundred
volume* ot travels; but we have
aeither lime nor imagination sufti-
cieut. We can uot rail spirits to
appear; we only relate what ws
bear, see and experience.
We left Richmond ou the DauviU#
tram. Tbe paoseoger* were but lew,
and after scaoutug their facet we
c»melnded that we had better outer-
tain onroelve*. At the Juuctiou we
recsived a reiiiforcemeut; the iraiu
waa crowded ; every available amt
oivupted. A* soon os the train was
iu rovuou, we went from cor to car
to inspect tbe oew arrivals. We
mere glad to sec two Columbiana,
Mr. Kraft and Mr. Oliver, the one
a German the other a Scotchman.
Both hod been North.
Satisfied, we mt dow n cogitating,
when a lion-like roar startled us.
We looked. Erect, user us, stood
a roiowiu*. A round head, a deter
wined face, a form aud figure look
ing as it hewn out of grsuite and
dieased up, caught oar eye. “From
Canada, where are you from T it
said. Tbe answer wa», “Xewr York.”
Bilance reigned; the colossus dropped
in a seat behind us. “None of hi*
business,” said it to tbe gentleman
already occupying the seat, “I am
an Irish main” “I aui a Pommy Ira
nian.” the other said, “aud have
o»»me Mouth to buv land.” We kept
watching the coiosau*. After awhile
he began to get uneasy, both his
bauds moved about his body as if he
was performing Erin go bragk, his
eyes glared, in his mouth wo* stuck
what is scientifically called “a weed;”
we at once understood wrhat it meant,
handed him our safe, he actually
smiled, bowed, struck—not us, but a
match, heaved a sigh, sucked away,
the blue, fragrant smoke curled
around hi* massive head, he leaued
back, perfectly contented, and a man
of |M*ace. We felt elated; had we
not tamed the liou f We knew that
wild animals are afraid of fire.
After awhile he aud we found our
selves on the same scat. We then
learned t hat be was from Irelaud, aud
had lived both in Australia and Cal
ifornia. “I was young,” said he,
“when I went to Australia. I made
Some two thousand pounds, went
back to Ireland, acted tbe grand
fool, s|*ut all I hod iu six months,
returned to Australia, stayed six
years, aud visited also California.
1 have made some money, and I am
going to take rare of it”. His iu-
tentiou was to locale some where iu
the Mouth. “I know the Mouth,”
•aid lie, “l have been bore bsfor#, __
There is money to be made if a man eUaixmn toot (even so by tbe
will attend to hi* business.” Ue told pus of one, came) unto all men

and then return iu rag*

It mads man a wild beast, ht
men who regarded not theh oua
would think but lightly of
other men. From what ha too*
ws are convinced that the gofij ^
are hells on earth. He teftl
California was worse than a—»Jt
because not only did the
leas men of Europe aad
collect there, but those also wJS
made Australia too hot to feM te*

Our eye folia on another

he is from Georgia; has to* $
