Tho ADVKitTiSKn hardly thinks it nec essary to remind the people of Laurens or all denominations that on this occas ion thoir hospitality should an usual be genorous. It must not be left to the Methodists alone to impress upon the devoted Christian women of the State that Laurens is in hearty sympathy with tboir courageous efforts for the spread of tho truth. Tho Convocation. Tho Greenville Convocation of the Episcopal ohurob met hore last Wednes day and was in session until Friday. Two religious services and two business meetings were held daily. Key. J.

Total.62th Iii all tbeso Afty years lacking two, we have scarcely more than doubled, there being now 1130 members in tho county. Evory church in this list has either held its own or gained in membership ex copt one, and that is Bethany, which was then the largest church in tho county and with thooxception of tho Nazereth and Fairvlow, the largest in the whole Prosbytory covering seven counties. All of these nine churches evidence the vi tality of a Presbyterian Church. But tbo fact that only 7 new churches have boon organized does not speak well for I heir fecundity. To Iiaurons Veteraus.

To Editor of Advertiser: As a member of tbo class so strongly inveighed against by "S" in the last l3 suoof the Advertiser, it behooves mo both to endeavor to produce somewhat of adofense against the majority of the charges made and yet to acknowledge my conourreuco In some of his views, and my thorough appreciation of tho fact that through all he sooms to have had the good of the community at heart. That society is needed in Laurons is an undeniable fact, and that she is wo fully behind hor sister cities in that par ticular is also indisputable, but whero your contributor ol last week mado a very sweeping statement was in saying ing that tbe prime oauso of this stato of thiugft was "selfishness." Wo arc only to well awaro of tho fact that our daughters are growing old bo fore their time, and that our boys neod to spend their leisure more profitably than by bocoming accomplished loafers but to all these things wo have bocome inured. The writer does not do us poor women the slightest justice but what mas culine mind ever will bo able to grasp the fact that we are all Marthas, busy with much sorvlng and, I may add, for tho sake ol tbo comfort and happinoss of tbo "Lords of Creation" iu nine oases out of ten. Selfish wo mothers are not, but busy, full of many oaros, wo un doubtedly are. Tho care for tho material well boiug of our children is too engrossing to prevent of our doing more for thorn. Wo worry ourselves no little when wo have time to think of those things, which is not often, but we know not how to help tho mat ter. Instinctively wo turn to another to aid us on this line. Who should as sume this duty if not the fathers? They at least have their ovenings at their dis posal with never a thought of what is to bo bad for breakfast or tbo fear of the servant's taking French leavo to spring upon tbeir minds?but tbero is nothing so pleasant as an arm chair and a cigar? or courso that ends the mattor, ended It in fact long years ago. So it appears to your correspondent, Mr. Editor, that selfishness might be charged, if anything of discredit could be, to tho opposite sex, without Baying one word against the woman, the variety of whose occupa tions would appoar incredible if enume rated. Still something ought to bo dope for our young folks, for our girls and "S" oan lay the "flattering unction to bis soul" that his words have determined ono woman, at least, to "bo up and do ing" in somo wise even though she fail, that it may bo no longor said that "the need of aocloty in .Laurens" is duo to tho non-self-sacrificing spirit of its wo mankind. One of the Mothers. Muster and Servant Meet after Many Years. About 1854 Benjamin Allston, a son of Gov. Allston, of S. C, was graduated from West Point, and commissioned as a Lieutenant in the regular army. Gov, Allston presented his son with a young negro by the name of Theophllus, as a body servant. In 1855, Lieut. Allston was stationed with his command at Salt Luke City. On leaving Salt Lake, Theopilus, who had found an attachment there, was at his request, sold to a resl Ident and left. After many vicissi tudes of military and civil life, Lt. Allston became a minister of the Episcopal church, but never hoard anything more of his old servant until a night or two ago, and it came about in this way. Somo years ago a colored shoemaker, by the name of Nolson Wright, went to a gentleman, who had married a relative of the A listens and told him that he had boon an army ser vant of Benjamin Allston and miked him when; Mr, A listen was, The gentleman did not know, but soon ascertained that tho soldier had become a priest, and so in formed Nelson Wright, promising him, at the same time that he would. If tho opportunity ever oc curred, bring him face to face, with his former master. Tho opportu nity was furnished by the meeting of the Greenville Convocation at this place and the coming to it of tip) Bov. Ben)t? ii Allston, of Union. 1 * When Mr. Allston was told of the presence in the communty of his old servant, he wua astonished beyond measure, said that his right name was Theophllus, and that he had not heard a breath of him though often thinking of- him and being Inquired of about him, by the mother and other relatives Of the man in Hie low country, since he parted with him in Salt Lake in 1855, Tho meeting next day between the former master and servant was yery touching and many were the questions and many were tho answers on either side.

Nowhere does tho young married woman i eign in greater supremacy than in the social circles of our own land. She has overcome the shyness of girlhood, though in many cases she is still young enough to be in tho school-room. Her manners have acquired a cer tain roundness and her conversa tion a grace and elcganco that make her most attractive to men, both old and young. Being herself matrimonially disposed of, a man has no compunction in paying her attentions that would bo at once misconstrued if given to her single sister. He can dance with her as often as ho likes, chat with her freely, and tho world after their second meeting does not announce their engagement. Moreover tho married woman understand i men better the debutante. Tho latter, expecting to receivo adoration, is vexed and put out if she does not obtain as much as she deems suffi cient as tribute to her beauty. Tho married woman, on the other hand, has learned by experience that men expect to be flattered as well as women, and In a happy lit tle way of her own appeals to a man's vanity and does not for one moment bore him. which is the se cret of the entire mattor. There is no placo so thoroughly delight ful to visit as tho homo of a young couple whoso tastes are congenial and whose hospitable instincts wel come within their gates friends of husband and wife alike. A man is proud of the wifo that is'popular with his friends; that, however, does not mean tho one who makes eyes and flirts boldly with every man that is introduced to her, but tho ono who holds out a friendly hand to the men friends who find hor house plensanlor than thp club, because presided over by a bright woman who is not fussy if thoy smoke in her parlor and who adds to rather than dotracts from their meetings. Sho it is whom they will swear by, whom they regard | in tho light of a sister, and who is tho best friend a man can havo out side of his mother and his own wife. When she goes out her hus band's friends will do all in thoir power to mako her evening as hap py as in thp days bpforo sho boro the name of wifo.?Philadelphia Times.

Lau rensYi He Harald. SELECTED in loving memory Or J. DOUGLAS PITTS, Whose Fair Yonur. Life Closed Uerc on Earth on the Morning; of June 30, 189?. And we have parted, Douglas ; thou art gone? Gone in thine early bloom, meek suiter ing one; Thy weary spirit breathed itself to sleep So peacefully, it seemed a sin to weep In those fond watchers who around thee stood, And felt even then that God was greatly good. Like stars that struggle through the clouds of night, Thine eyes one moment caught a glo* rlous light, As if to thee in that dread hour 'twere given To know on earth what faith believes of Heaven; Then, like tired breezes didst thou sink to rest, Nor one, one pang the awful change con fessed. Death stole in softness o'er that noble face And touched each feature with a new born-grace ; On check und brow unearthly beauty lay, And told that life's poor cares had passed away. But could we see thee in that land To which thy soul bath iled, White-robed amid the shining band Around the great white Throne to stand, With golden harp and angel hand And glory crowned bead, We conld not mourn thine early doom, Nor dream thee with the dead, Faith lost in sight beyond the tomb Would all our lonely way illume, And o'er the grave's victorious gloom Eternal radiance shed.
