In addition to the appropriate syn bols and designs which iade up th floral tribute of praise were a miem11ori: crown and the cross and mtonograni Christ, used by Constantine. The 11101 ograil Was suggestive of the respler dent light shed upon Christianity v that period.

Cut flowers, lilies and geraniiums lei their beauty and their fragrance to th impressive services of the day. But dark shadow was cast over the brigl: and joyous occasion in the afternoo when it -was announced that M: Hanekel could not preach owing to th sudden failure in the sight of one of h eyes.

Last week we made mention of the imissioiary society of the Thompson street church, composed of little. girls under 12 years, and the aid they have given in the support of a missionary in e lexico. This week we take pleasure e in publishing a letter from the 31exicani iissionary, written to the secretary of this society. We read the letter wit h much interest: T 1MPI CO >E TAf Au'LI PA', ) 0 A .:LLE, DE LA UNION No. 4-. March 17, 188. ) tiss Estelle Todd. Secretary of the Busy bees, N ewterry, s. '.. United states of America: M1 lEAn L"rrLE FlREN:-I can 1not express to you and the society y-''u represen t my gratitude for the kind re miiembllrallce you have had of me and liy work, aid for your nice letter. e Siould you think otherwise, judging o by my silence, I -ill give a reason. i\ our letter was re:elved while I was in the city of Mexico, whither I had gone to atteinid the (Gene ral Assembly of Mis ol .ions. When I came home, in the first c part of tihe last mouth, I found a good t deal of work to attend to-the mission was to look after. I found the Rev. t Iuiter, wife, and three little girls, and it was iy privilege to assist theni ill this their new sphere. They c:anlnot e talk the Mexican language, and I went out to hunt a home for them, and do the talking; and, besides, my faunily were making preparations to go to the t'iited States to see our poor little girl, >iwho is atllicted, and who has beei frott, us almost two years, and under the care of al oculist. In 1581 she had smliall d pox here ill Tampico, and slice" then 5 she has been almost blind, and I am afraid she will never beable to see well. Mv wife and three little boys were en 1 barked on the English steamer "Tex San" the first day of this iollth, and although I have not heard from thein, they must be to-day in dear old South C'arolina, which is my native State, ti although I was raised in North Caro e lia. As soon as may family left I went to Pauneo,wlhere I have a lission statiol, and I spent som11e days up there, preaclh iir there and in Vega de Otates, where i- we have another congregation. I preached six tinies in Paunco. \\e had our communion, and one little Mexrean girl just eleven years old, and whon'I baptized two years ago, was received as in a ineinibelr. 1er name is .1 ulia Perez. 1 She has read the New Testament through half dozei times, and is a good little girl. At Vega de Otates, I - preached three times, attended to our e comunion, baptized four young per l sons-three young ladies and one young f Imian, and a little girl about eight years old. After I had been there ten days I caie back to Tampico. My home was - lonesome. M \Irs. Pressly was not there . to give me the usual welcome that awaits me on my return from my trips, and the three little pairs of arms that e were always ready to clasp around r, papa's neck as I get to the head of the v stairs were far from him. I am living - all alone now, and take my meals at the e hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter live near e our house, on the next block. They are studying the Spanish language. I got Lt thei a teacher, whom I had taught English. Their two eldest little girls one about ten years, and the other a seven, are in the public school for girls, ,t and are learning the language also. It is too bad to see one that can't under stand anything they hear people say, 110r .speak a word to them. ''hey go to e hear me preach; they can't find the s Psalm when 1 give it out, can't under :1 stand a word of the prayer, can't find the ehapter I read, and dlon't under Sstand a word I sayv. When my people go up to themi, to speak to themi, they c ani say, "Buenos dias,"' (Good-morn ling),or "Buenos nloches,' (Good-night), that is all. That is just the way I was e wvhen I came to tis country ini 1879. 1 e explect you were a little baby then. -N either I nor my wife,nor miy two little girls could talk or understand oneC word ill Spaish. But no0w we call talk Spamish. I talk v'ery little English, andl lmy oldest little boys, Bonner ier t and( John Ebenezer, can talk both lan guagles, the one as well as the other; bu itt poor little Henry -Elliott, the Iyoungest, just two years old, can't sp)eak -a word of English. He wvill have to .learn English whlen lhe gets home. He speaks Spanlishl nicely'. Anid you are the secretary of the "Bs ee Society," numbering fifteen mienibers, all under t w'elve years of age. 31ay the blessed .Jesus, who took young children inl his arms, w1heni upon the r earth, erowni you all and your cflbrts, ewith his richest faivors. When I re ceived vour letter it renimidcd mie of a -circum.stanice thlat happened ill timles I of tile Iteformationi. Inl the darkest periods of that timie, wvhen Luther, Me hlnchthion an(d others were assemnbled-' r undekr great (dejectioni of spirit to conl 5 suIt what should be done, good Mle lanI chthlon retiredl fromi the cou neil grnievedl in his soul; but ill a few mao m1IenIts lhe returned againl, his eves b IeamIing, anmd his counitenanlce releet inlg joy amid confidenlce. Hius friends were surprised at the ehanige, but he told them wvhat gav'e him joy.

Sad indeed; they however left no small ehildren. Mrs. L. ML Holland and Miss Re becca Lake, of Walton, spent a few days with Mrs. A. G. Wise and fam ily last week. It would do the natives good to see Loss. plowing a horse in a trot in order to get a certain piece of land plowed ere the rain come. After. several days of beautiful weather for farniing purposes, the whole machinery is again delayed to-lay on account of rains. Rev. J. A. Sligi will address the Y. M. C. A., of this place in (raee Church, on next Stniday ntight, the 1->th inst. As usual the public is cordially in vited and may expect something real nice and good. The mUInicipal election ol Monday passed oil' very quietly. The following gentlemen -were elected to serve during the next municipal year : Intendant, G. G. DeWalt. Wardens, G. A. Maffett, T. L. Schunpert, J. W. Bowers, and 1). I. Sheely. Mr. Sheely was not a nominee ; he however g: there. "I)ick Bustle" got one vote only. Try again Dick, we think you'll do better next time. Mr. James Lester has invented a ita chine to "knock down cotton stocks." We did not have time to see the machine yesterday, but did see some of the work. It breaks the stalk completely near the ground and appears to crush the stalks into many pieces, thus doing away with a great nuisance and hin derniore in cultivating cotton lands. When we get a chance to examine this machine, we will give the readers of The Herald and News a minute de scription of it and its workings. Candidate H. F. Shealy of the New berry TheolQgieal Seminary preached an excellent sermon in Grace Church on last Sunday after which Rev. Marks received seven nienibers, by confirmation and two by letter. The Lord's Supper was then administered to a large number of communicants, by Rev. Marks assisted by Rev. Z. W. Bedenbaugh. This closed the series of meetings which had been begun a week prior and in which Rev. Schaeffer rendered valuable services. All honor and glory to God who giveth the in crease. On last Friday night we were sur prised and pained to learn of the sud den death of our old friend and eon rade in arms, Simeon D. Wheeler, who, about 5 o'clock that evening (Friday) while preparing potatoes for planting, suddenly fell from his seat dead. He was an old veteran in the truest sense. HeI enlisted as a private in Co. "H" 3rd South Carolina Regiment Vol. at the outbreak of the late civil war, and a truer, braver, unswer.ving soldier never shouldered a miusket. I speak of what I know. We were mnembilers of the same CQnmpany. romn the beginning. I have often marvelled at -his cool untlinching courage unde.r the most galling fire, in such great battles as the Seven days lighting aroundRichnmond,Chancellors ville, Frcdricksburg, Sharpsburg, Get tysburg, Chickanmauga, etc. When can non balls and shells wvere crashing and thundering on every side, and grape andeanister hissing on and tearing great gaps in our ranks, and minnie balls whizzing and dealing dleath on every hand, and it seemned as if the fountains of the i'nfernal regionis were bro: -loose andlc' e nrades on either side weie fall ing mangled, bleeding, wailing, moan igdyn,yet undler these circumstan ces 'Wheeler was always at his post, and withI almnost superhumian coolness, would load, take deliberate aim, fire and load andl fire, and if perchance his gun would get out of o,rder by continu ouls and excessive firing, he would get that of sonme (lead or woundl(ed conirade andb continue to fight. For his cool and daring bravery, to gether with his nmany other excellent qual ities, he was promol(ted to the hon oralble and highly important position of color-bearer oft the regimen t. With this great trust, lie on all occasions displayed the same untflinchiing courage, proudly carrying the old1 paile perforated anid lood-stained flag ini front of' the regi nmen t, calling thne "'boys'' to follow himi. That dear old1 -battle Ihig was never sul lied in his hands. He carried it val antly until the 18 Oct. 1863, when in a little fight at Knoxville Tenn., he re civedl a wound in the foot which ren dered amnputation necessary. Thus end .ed his nniitary career. Ini ca.imp, he was a genial companion. On duty, he was p)unctual and unswerving. At roll call, lie was alwvays present. On long, fatiguing-ngar.ches, he never straiggled. Wheni rations ;mid cloth1ing were short, lie quietly inmd soldierly-like submitted. But hre is gone-gone to where there are neither war mnor rumors of wars. Hec was :34 yer :2 months old. Yu m.
