RELIGION, MORALS ANO PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. AL ONE WITH CONSCIENCE. I sat ?lone with my conscience, Ia a place w here time had ceased, And we talked of my former living In the land where the years increased. And felt I should have to answer The question it-put to me, And face the answer and question Throughout aa eternity. The ghosts of forgotten actions Came floating before my sight, And things that I thought were dead things, Were alive with a terrible might. And the vision of all my past life Was an awful thing to face Alone with conscience sitting In tba* solemnly silent place. And I thoaght of a far-away warning, Of sorrow that was to be mine, ID a land that then was the future, Bat now is the present time. And I thought of my former thinking Of the judgment day to be, Bat sitting alone with my conscience Seemed judgment enough for me. Andi wondered if there was a future To this land beyond the grave ; Bat no one gave me an answer And no one came to save. Then I felt that the future was present, And the present would never go by, For it was but the thought of my past life Grown into eternity. Then I woke from my timely dreaming, . And the vision passed away, And I knew the far-away warning Was a warning of yesterday And I pray that I may not forget it, In this land before the grave, That I may not cry in the future, And no one come to save. And so I have learned a lesson Which I ought to have known before, Add which, though I learnt it dreaming, I hope to forget no more. So I sit alone with my conscience In the place where me years increase, And I try to remember the future In the land where time will cease, And I know of the future judgment, How dreadful soe'er it be, That to sit alone with my conscience Will be judgment enough for me. -London ilSpectator.7 * An Objector Answered. *I don't like so much talk about reli? gion,' said a rude stranger in a city boarding-house, to a lady opposite, who had been answering some questions with regard to a sermon to which she h&? been;listening. 4I don' like it. It's something that nobody likes. It's op? posed to everything pleasant in the world. It ties a man up, hand and foot. It takes way his liberty ; and it isn't natural.' ?Oh, no V answered the lady, 'it isn't natural. We have the best authority for saying so. 'The natural man re ceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned.' True religion is rowing up stream ; it is sail? ing against wind and tide.' A pause for a few moments followed ; then the stranger began again. 'People who speak and think so much about religion are queer, anyhow. I wish they could only know how people speak and think about them ; nobody likes them, for they are like nobody; they are so very peculiar.' 'Allow me to interrupt you again, sir,' said the lady ;|*but I am so impress? ed with the manner in which your lan? guage accords with Bible language, that I shall have to introduce another quotation from that blessed book. 'Ye are a choseu generation, a royal priest? hood, a peculiar people.' ' 'Does the Bible say they are peculiar, then ? That's odd. That book, some? how, has got a dose for everybody. Yet, ma'am, you must allow that the commands that book lays upon us poor sinners are hard. It's thou shalt not, and thou shalt not, all the time. Why, its precepts and views of things are not only systematic tyranny, but they are ? narrow, very narrow.' 'Yes,' replied the lady, 'they are nar? row, for the Bible says they are. 'Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life.' We have to struggle | hard to keep in this narrow way, if we once get in it. It is too narrow for pride, worldliness, and sloth. It is too narrow for the service of two masters. It is too narrow for covetousness, envy, and all other evil passions. Hatred can \ find no place for so much as the sole of j -its foot, in the narrow way. Good deeds, kind words, faith, hope and charity, j occupy all the ground, and will con-1 tinue to hold it to the end.' The stranger listened, surprised and ? annoyed, and at last arose and left tlc room, apparently a more thoughtful, if j not a better man.-American Messenger, j --o Old-Fashion Mothers. Thank God, says a correspondent, j some of us have an old fashioned mother, j Not a woman of the period, enamelled and painted, with her great chignon, ber curls, and bustle, whose white, jew? elled hands never felt the clasp of baby fingers ; bat a dear old-fashioned, sweet voiced mother, with eyes in whose clear depth the love-light shone, and brown j bair just threaded with silver, lying j smooth upon her faded cheek. Those j dear hands, worn with toil, gently j guided our tottering steps in childhood, j and smoothed our pillow in sickuess, j ever reaching out to us in yearning ten- j derness. Biessed is the memory of an ! old-fashioned mother. It ?oats to us ! now, like the beautiful perfume of some ! wooden blossoms. The music of other j voices may be lost, but the entrancing j memory of her will echo in our soul for- ! ever. Other faces may fade away and i be forgotten, but hers will shine on. j When in the fitful pauses of busy life our feet wander back to the old home- i stead, and, crossing the;well-worn tb res- j hold, stand once more in the room, so hallowed by her presence, how the feel- J ing of childhood, innocence, and depcu- ? dence comes over as, and we kneel down iu the molten sunshine streaming through the open window-just where j long years ago we knelt by our mother's ! knee, lisping 'Our Father.' How many times, when the tempter lured us on, j has the memory of those sacred hours, j that mother's words, her faith and ; prayers, saved us from plunging into ; the deep abyss of sin. Years have fill- j ed great drifts between her and us, but j they have not hidden from our sight ? the glory of her pure, unselfish love. j Keep your promise to the letter, be j prompt ar d exact, and it will save you mach trouble. 1 Talk Over What You Read. Nearly forty years' experience as a teacher has showu me how little I truly know of a subject until I begin to ex? plain it ur teach it. Let any young person try the experiment of giving in conversation, briefly and connectedly, aud in the simplest language, the chief points of any book or article he bas read, and he will at once sec what I mean. The gaps that are likely to appear in the knowledge that he felt was his own, will uo doubt be very surprising. 1 know of no traiung superior to this in utilizing one's read? ing, in strengthening the memory, and in forming habits of clear, connected statement. It will doubtless teach other things than those I have mention ed, which the persons who honestly make the experiment will find out for themselves. Children who read can be encouraged to give, in a familiar way, the interesting parts of the books they have read, with great advantage to all concerned. More than one youth I know has laid the foundation of intel? lectual tastes in a New England family where hearty encouragement was given to children and adults in their attempts to sketch the lectures they had heard the evening previous. The same thing was done with books.-Christian Union. Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets, putout the ki'cben fire A boy can pull four times more weight in boys on a sled than he- can coal from the backyard. No one ever did a designed injury | to another but at the same time he did j a much greater to himself. At a printer's festival the follow? ing toast was offered : 'Woman ! Sec ond only to the press in the dissem? ination of news." The Christian is not ruined by living in the world, which he must needs do while he remains in it, but by the world living in him. It is estimated that the thirty-three missionary societies at work in Africa have secured upward of 30,000 con? verts. The Tennessee Diocesan convention of the Presbyterian Episcopal church reports thirty-four clergy, thirty-two parishes and 2.7SS communicants. The confirmations during the year were 281. The American Unitarian association have taken steps to have a new com? mentary on the Old and New Testa? ments prepared. It has also appointed a missionarv to labor among the Scan? dinavians of the West. The man who stepped out of bed, and put his foot upon a piece of oil? cloth, says the occurrence is worth a fortune to him. He's going to freeze ice, cream by merely wrapping a piece of the material round the freezer. BostoTi Post. The reason why some men get along so slowly in this world is because they spend two thirds of their time talking about what they are going to do and during the other third they have to sleep, Is t'.ere a word in the English lan guaage that contains all the vowels ? There is unquestionably.-Ex. Yes and there is auother word where they follow each other accordiug to positiou io the alphabet ; facetiously. The Young Men's Christian associa? tions throughout the country are gradu? ally becoming provided with buildings for carrying OD their work, The Pitts? burg association have raised ?50,000 as a building fund. The number of Baptist associations in Alabama is fifty-five, with 1,435 churches aud 76,000 members. Be? sides these are the colored churches with 90,000 members, makiDg a grand total of 166,000 Baptists in the State. Tennyson's poem, 'Despair,' in a recent issue of the Nineteenth Century presents two things as calculated to make an atheist to-day : The bard, nar? row, unspiritual preaching in the church, and the teaching of science of a certain sort leading to materialism and the blank, bitter despair that must follow.

Y. : Genilemeu-For twenty years 1 havesuffer ed more or less from my bladderaod Kidnevs. My business for matty years bad required me to travel all over the southern slates. Whilst going tb Texas., last fall, I saw in a paper an advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and in less than a week the improvement in my health was paipable. Since then, my general health has improved wonderfully, and J now enjoy a degree of heal'h and strength; in every par? ticular, such as : had not hoped it po sible to enjoy again in this world-of which 1 am sat isfted, under God's Messing, has been due to your remedy.

I confess that I had but little faith in its merits or efficacy : but to my great joy and satisfaction, after I had commenced on the second bottle, I continued ihe use of thc med? icine until I became completely cured. Judge court of ordinary.

PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, OFFICE SOUTH SIDE L JG AN ST., SUMTER, S.C. Aug 2 tf i THE NEWS AND COURIER--1S82, THE NUWS AND COURIER, in the New Year, j will have no other object than to help the j people of South Carolina to manage their own j affairs in their own way. To this end it will . encourage the expression of intelligent opinion : on subjects of general interest; and strive to j be the means of laying before the whole State j the views of those who have Something sensi- j ble to say, and know how to say it. The : ?Tees a?id Courier will not bc n passive \ spectator of events. It will utter its opinions j frankly nod freely, but. holding that what is | wise and true bas nothing to fear from analy- j sis and discussion, it will never seek to j strengthen its own positiou by suppressing j thc opinions of those who honestly differ from it. The Nevis a?id Courier, with one exception, is the only newspaper in the South Atlantic States which receives the whole of theSouthern 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 th? importance of giving the people the earliest and most accurate intelli? gence in State and National affairs, The Neus and Courier, will assign one of the most trus? ted aod most capable members of its Staff to permanent duty at Columbia, and has sta? tioned at Washington tbe gentleman who earned golden opinions while on duty at tbe j State Capital. This will be a year of i'trmeot and possibly of change in South Carolina, and what the people require is to have all the uews, without fear or favor, and no matter whom it helps or burts. The Resident Correspondent of The News and Courier at Col uni bia will give our readers information concerning men and things which can bc obtained io no other newspaper. In like mannet-, the Resident Correspondent of The Neus and Courier at Washington, having no other newspaper to serve and being nobody's heuchman, will be in position to report impartially the progress events and the acts of public men. Thc great effort of The News and Courier will bc to get the most new?, and to get it first and in the best shape. The purpose is lo make it a newspaper that no business man. no planter or fara*er. no person interested in DU ttl ic affairs can afford to do without. IN TUE STATE The News and Courier will advocate honesty, justice and economy, and will insist that meritaDd capacity shall be th? prims tests in selecting candidates for public office. Particular attention will be paid to the wants of the farmers and planters, and The News and Courier, which formulated, more Than ter. years ago, a great economic truth io thc phrase :'Bring the Miils to thc Cotton" will persevere in demonstrating the advan? tages and proSis of manufacturing, of which South Carolina already furnishes many strik iug 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 manufactures, and will spare no pains in pointing out the means of turning to good ac? count the undeveloped as well as the active resoarces of the State. Believing that the public school is the cradle of an enduring Republic, and that popular education is the only permanent protection against demagogism, The News and Courier will always advocate the largest appropria? tions for educational purposes that the public? en u bear. IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will advocate Honest Money: the re? striction of the coinage of silver to the measure of the public demands for usc 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 capita! and on patent medi? cines, and the retention of the duties on whiskey and tobacco in preference to the maintenance of the present tariff on imports: the r?gulation of Inter-State commerce by the National Co vern nient, so as to deprive rail? road corporations and combi lations of the power to injure and oppress the people: free ships; public improvements by the National Government 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 thc National Government for the education of the illiterate voters wno were imposed upon Cue country by the act of the government and who are a perpetual menace to free institutions and hones: 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 aud Courier will de? vote ??self to streng' hen i ag good feeling, good will f d mutual confidence between thc people of the sever*! States and between the States ! and the National Government. The Sunday News will retain its social and literary character, zn connection with all the news of the day, and the discussion of home subject? of local import and application will be cortiuued. Hereafter none of thc news publi-?h?d in The Sunday News will be pub? lished ia The News and Courier. THE TRI-WEEKLY edition of the News and Courier will be issued as before, giving the reader the news contained in The News and Courier, with slight exceptions, at one half the price. TUE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im? proved. The Chess column and the Agricul- j tural department will be continued, Puzzles j and Problems for young and old will bea ! permanent feature, beginning with thc New J Year; and in a few weeks we shall begin the publication of ?:Ten 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 tbe South a "netter advertising medium than thc News and Cou? rier, and in South Carolina it has the adver? tising Seid, outside of the influential weekly j ??ress in the country, virtually to itself. It j goes into every part of South Carolina and of j the United States, and has reached a com- j wandin* nosilioti willi the reading public. j The terms of y HE NEWS AND COURIER \ are as follows: TUE NEWS AND COURIER.

IT is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre- j serving the hair. It restores, with the j gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, lighi, and red huir, to a rk-li brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality aud strength, and renders it pliable. The VIGOR cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of tho humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair arc impossible. As ? Dressing for Ladies' Hair The VIGOR is incomparable. It is color? less, contains neither oil r..=r dy , and will not soil white cami..?c. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfumo, and as an article for the. toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
