-melancholy days ar* ccrcae, the saddest
oftbeyeaf,
Of wailing w'tndcj and naked woods, and
meacterws brown and sere.
Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the
autumn leaves He dead,
They rustle to tbe eddying gust, and to the
rabbit's tread.
The robin and tbe wren are flown and from
the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top caHs tbe crow
through all the gkmsy dar.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flow
er*, that lately sprang and stood
I? brighter light, and softer airs?a beaute
ous sisterhood?
Alas! they all are in tbeir graves, the gen
tle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds, with tbe fair
and good of ours.
The rain is falling were they lie, bnt the
;i cold Kovember rain
Calls aot from out tbe gloomy earth tbe
totely.ones again.
wfnd?flower and the violet, they per
febed long ago,
And the briar rose and the orchis died amid
the summer glow;
Bat o& the hill the golden rod, and the aster
in the wood,
Atttl the yellow sun-flower by tbe brook in j
autumn beauty stood,
Till fell tbe frost from the clear, cold heav- J
en, as falls tbe plague on men,
And the brightness of tbeir smile was gone,
from upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day, |
as still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and tbe bee from out tbeir J
winter home:
When the sound of dropping nuts is beard,
' though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light the waters
?f the rill.
The south wind searches for the Bowers
whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to And them in tbe wood and by j
the stream no more. \
i
And then I think of one who in ber youth- !
a fnl beauty died.
The fair, meek blossom that grew up and |
faded by my side ; j
In the cold, moist earth we laid her, when i
the forests cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely should have ;
a life so brief;
Yet not-unmeet it was that one, like that '
young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful, should perish with
the flowers.

Jl Perverted Text. I
TroF. Phclps, in his *'Theory of
breaching," gives the following in- j
stance of a text whose original meaning
has been entirely lost by the influence j
of the pal pit and of sacred song:
' The text, 'Watchman, what of the ?
wgbt:?\is ^oue of the standards of the j
pulpit; but who of the people know its j (
legitimate meaning ? The pulpit has > -
appropriated $t almost universally to j'
getwo&s on the 'signs of the times.' {m
Jif-a preacher wishes to discourse upon j t
*the prospects of missions or the pros- j j
pects of reform or the prospects of the!
nation, be tarns to this as the most
?9tt?o&-iefi>t passage in the Bible, because .
it seems to restrict discussion to nothing j.
in particular. Sut in fact, it is one of |
the most individual and restricted of all j
texts. In its Biblical significance it is !
a taunt of infidelity. The prophet is j
represented as stationed in a watch ;.
"tower, in a time of great peril, on I
the lookout*for friend or foe. The | j
triumphant idumean is then rcpre- \ t
sentcd as passing along and crying 1 j
out in derision of the solitary sentinel, j
The elocution of the passage ouught to !
express this derision. It is as if the j
Idumaen stranger spoke thus: 'Ha, ha, j
watchman! how do you like the look of I
the night V A sermon on this text,
designed to develop the taunting spirit j
of infidelity in a time of misfortune to !!
the cause of Christ, might disclose the !
significance of the language with great j
force. But the passage is scarcely j,
known to the people in any such use of j i
it. Such a discourse upon it would be j1
a novelty. Preachers generally Lave j j
used the text as it is used in the mis- j,
sionary hymn founded upon it by Bow- j i
ring: j
"Watchman, tells ns of the night,
What its signs of promise are."
That hymn and the u<age of the pulpit j1
have almost destroyed that text in the j;
minds of the people "?New York \ \

- If we analyze the preaching of the ! |
most eminent and successful pulpit ora- j 3
tors of our day, we shall find, promi-I
nent among other elements, this: j
that they are profoundly conscious of 1
the moral needs of their hearers ; they j
know thoroughly the power of the prin- j
ciples which Jesus Christ revealed, and j
they address themselves directly to the j 1
w.ork of presenting those principles in j;
such a manner as to give both strength j t
and guidance. Some bring great re- j1
sources of scholarship, others wit, others j!
philosophic generalizaiion, others ima- j
gination and fancy, others eloquence j v
to tbe aid of this work; and another still j 1
may stand up. a plain man, plainly, siui- j [
ply addressing the conscience of those ; *
before him in the most direct and una- j i
domed manner, and achieve a similar j
success ; while educated critics of scr-:
mons, if they succeed in not think of j
themselves while they listen, wonder !
what is the secret of his power. The I
central element in that power is the \ -
fact that he so presents the principles of : <
Christ as to give moral strength to x
those who are perplexed. How this is ! j
done is his own secret. We see it is 1
not done by preaching about his j j
hearers's peculiar situations, nor by j
addressing them in classes nor by hec- j
toring them on their shortcomings, i
But men go out with firmer principles
than they came in with, with more
courage, more confident that the right !
course will be the best course, with more
patience and persistence?in other
words, re enforced. Whatever does this
attracts and blesses hearers. Fn the
congregation, that is taught is fulfilled
from Sunday to Sunday the ancient
promise: "They go from strength to
strength."?Union Christ Urn.

Description of our Saviour.
The following epistle was taken by
Napoleon from the public records of
Rome, when he deprived that city of so
macy valuable manuscripts. It was
written at the time and on the spot
where Jesus Christ commenced His min
istry by Publicus Leutulus, the Gov
ernor of Judca, to the Senate of Home
?Jresar, Emperor. It was the cus
tom in those days for the Governor to
wxute home any event of importance
which transpired while he held office :
'Conscrijyt Fathers?There appeared
in these our days, a man named Jesus
Christ, who is yet liviug among us, and of
the Gentiles is aecepted as a prophet of
great truthbut His own disciples call
Him the Son of God. He hath raised
the dead, cured all manner of diseases.
He is a man- of stature somewhat tall
and comely, with a very ruddy counte
nance, such as the beholder may both
love and fear. His hair is the color of
the filbert when fully ripe, plain to his
ears, whence downward it is more ori
ent of color, curling and waving about
his shoulders: in the middle of his head
is a seam or partition of lon^ hair, after
the manner of the Nazarites. His for
head is plain and delicate; his face
without spot or wrinkle, beautiful with
a comely red ; his nose and mouth are
exactly formed; his beard is of tbe color
of his hair, and thick, aot of any great
height, but forked, in reproving, he
is terrible: in admonishing, courteous ;
in speaking, very modest and wise ; in
proportion of body, weil shaped. None
have seen bitu laugh, but many have
seen him weep. A mai>, for bis sur
passing beauty, excelling tbe children
pi men."
A Conscience Needed.
*I will go if it suits.7 said a young
when asked to attend a meeting and do
a particular ?erviere. Tbe great thing is
to get men to go when it. don"t suit-, or,
at least, when it costs some self-denial.
A business man would not succeed long
if be should make an engagement and
then keep it?if he felt like it There
are few who do not feel like it in some j
way or other. We do i*ot wish to be
unreasonable, for we know there are
times when it is impossible to attend
meetings, owing to good and sufficient
reasons. Making allowance for these,
is a big margin to go on, when we say
that all our meetings would be better
sustained if there was more couscience |
brought into the matter of prompt at
!.eudance ?Exchange.
An Inspiration.
Some weary or depressed Sunday j
school worker may be cheered by a new j
riew of the importance of bis work, j
tfot long since John Bright, tbe vete- j
ran statesman, who a few days ago pass- j
jd his seventieth birthday, said to Gen. j
Clinton B Fisk, an American dele- j
jate to the Ecumenical Methodist Con- j
fercnee: :There is nothing that is j
*oingto give such stability to this gov- i
jrnment as t!;e religious instruction of !
>ur children in the Prestestant Sunday !
schools of this realm ; and I have read |
ill about them in your country, and |
your people are going to be safe if you j
>nly sstand by your Sunday school men j
md train up your children in the way
)f the Lord.'
The devil has a peculiar affection for i
dlcrs, He employs them to do all his J
little dirty jobs. Tbey are his retailers |
)f scandal, strife cngeuderers and mis- j
ibief-makers generally. They are his !
oiost faithful servants, ever ready to ;
jbey obey his commands and always on !
hand when needed. They take special ;
leiigbt in defaming tbe character of j
honest, hard working men and wjmen i
ind stirring ap strife and contention iu j
;he community.
When a man speaks the truth you
may count pretty surely that he pos
sesses most other virtues.

THE NEWS AND COURIER?1882.
Tu?. News and Cockier, in the New Year,
will have no other object than to help the
people of South Carolina to manage their own
affairs in their own way. To tuis end it will
encourage the expression of intelligent opinion
on subjects of general interest, and strive to
be the means of laying before the whole State
the views of those who have something sensi
ble to say, and know how to say it. The
Xcws cvd Courier will not hi a passive
spectator of events. It will ntter iis opinions
frankly und freely, but, holding that what is
wise and t??e h;>3 nothing to- fear from analy
sis and discussion, it wii! never seek to
S'.renprthen iis own posiiion by surj'-rt-ssin^
?i3 opinions of those who he-nesth' differ
from it.
T7ie yincf awl Courier, with one exception,
is the only newspaper in the South Atlantic
States which receives tlie whole of the Southern
dispatches of the New York Associated Press,
and this service will be supplemented by
special dispatches from every part of the State
and the United States.
Recognizing the importance of giving the
people the earliest and most accurate intelli
gence in State and National affairs, The Nexcs
and Courier, will assign one of the most trus
ted and most capable members of its Staff to
permanent duty at Columbia, and has sta
tioned at Washington the gentlera.-m who
earned golden opinions while on duty at the
State Capital. This will be ayrar of ferment
and possibly ofchaage in South Carolina, and
what the people reeaii-re is to have all the news,
without fear or favor, and no matter whom it
helps or hurts. The Resident Correspondent
of The ffeics asd Courier at Columbia will
gjve-our readers information concerning men
and thin?* which can he obtained in no other
newspaper. In like manner, the Resident
Correspondent sf The News axd Courier at
Washington, having no other newspaper to
serve and being nobody's henchman., will be
in position to report impartially the progress
events and the acts of public men.
The great effort of The lictcs and Courier
will be to get the most news, and to get it
first and is the best shape. The purpose is to
make it a newspaper that no business man.
no planter or fara.fr. no person interested in
public affairs can afford to do without.
I>* THE STATE The News and Covrier will
advocate honesty, justice and economy, and
will insist that meritand capacity shall be the
prime tests in selecting candidates for public
?flice.
Partictt'ar attention will be paid to the
wants of the fanners and planters, and The
News and Cuurier, which formulated, more
than ten years ago. a great economic truth in
the phrase Wiring the Mills to the Cotton"
will persevere in demonstrating the advan
tages and profits of manufacturing, of which
South Carolina already furnishes many strik
ing examples. The utilization of the phos
phate deposits will claim our special care,
with the view of obtaining the largest public
benefits from the common inheritance of the
people. The News and Courier will, indeed,
be always active in disseminating the knowl
edge of improved processes in agriculture and
manu fact wies, and will spare no pains in
pointing out the means of turning to good ac
count the undeveloped as well as the active
resources of the State.
Believing that the public school isthecradle
of an enduring Republic, and that popular
education is the only permanent protection
against demygogisro. The News and Courier
will always advocate the largest appropria
tions for educational purposes that the public
can bear.
IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and
Courier will advocate Honest Money; the re
striction of the coin.ige of silver to the
measure of the public demands for use as cur
rency; the reform of the Civil Service through
the Pendleton bill or any similar measure; the
revision of the tariff for the relief of the people,
and particularly of the agricultural classes;
the abolition of the taxes on bank checks,
bank deposits and capital and on pateDt medi
cines, and ihe retention of the duties on
whiskey and tobacco in preference to ihe
maintenance of the present tariff on imports: j
the regulation of Inter-State commerce by the
National Government, so as to deprive rail- j
road corporations and combi lations of the j
power to injure and oppress the people; free
ships; public improvements by the National
Governmen1 for National purposes; the ap
plication of surplus revenue to the reduction
of taxation, instead of the headlong extinction
of the public debt, and, above all, liberal ap
propriations by the Nation?! Government for
the education of the illiterate voters who were
imposed upon the country by the act of the
government and who are a perpetual menace
to free institutions and honest rule.
IN STATE AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS
The News and Courier will uphold the rights
of the States within their own spheres, under
the Constitution as it is, and the supremacy
of the National Government in National
affairs. And the News and Courier will de
vote itself to strengthening good feeling, good
will and mutual confidence between the people
of the several States and between the States
and the National Government.
The Suuday News will retain its social and
literary character, in connection with nil the
news of the day, and the discussion of home
subjects of local import and application will
be continued. Hereafter none of the news
published in The Sunday News will be pub
lished in The News and Courier.
THE TRI-WEEKLY edition of the News
and Courier will l?e issued as before, giving
the reader the news contained in The News
and Courier, with slight exceptions, at one
half the price.
THE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im
proved. The Chess column and the Agricul
tural departmeut will be continue-'; Puzzles j
and Problems for yonbg and old will be a !
ucrminerit feature, beginning with the New |
Year; and in a few weeks we shall begin the
publication of uTen Terrible Tales" by an
English author of established reputation.
Arrangements have been made likewise for a
Serial Story by a South Carolina author
whose works have attained great popularity
in Northern periodicals.
There is not anywhere in the South a better
ulverti?ing medium than tljc News and Cou
rier, and in South Carolina it has the adver
tising field, outside of the influential weekly
press in the country, virtually to itself. It
,'oes into every part of South Carolina aud of
ihe Utihed States, and has reached a com
manding position with the reading public.
