THE PBOPHET?C? 3EEWDROP. (Adapted fron? the Gerraaw o? Jean Paul Richter.) A child once found a rosebud .With its petals drooped ?nd dead*, And with tears in ber beautiful lore-lit eyes She kn eli by ber father and said ; ."See, father, thit blushing rosebud TT as t&e fairest we saw this mora So fresh wa? each rose-colored petal That we saw not the blistering thorn And the dewdrops-Kke globales of silver In its bosom were nestled so fair, Bot now the dew is all vanished And 'ti?scorched io the noonday glare," Vat soon from over the nowa tain A storm swept over the plain, * - | And "the clouds with their muttering thunders Were fraught with refreshingTain. c And soon o'er the distant hilltops Shone that emblem of Hope, i be bow j ?ach tint was brighten the evening air Witb the dewdrops' crystal glow. And tbe father sat watching the rainbow, And said as be pointed on high : ..See, child, the dewdrop thou mourn est Is- beaming- far up m the sky ; Thu? it is with the gems that God gives ns To delight us on earth for a day ; Be takes them again to his bosom Ere life sullies their heavenly ray/' Not lightly Shis troth there be uttered, Birt little he thought of its weight, For the Anger who gathers these dew-gems Now stood at his heart's outer gate; Ere tbe gates of the morning bad opened, And sleep had- been chased from his. ey es, j His darling;?ad sickened, and withered, . ~A?d soared with th? dew to the skies. -S. C.Eughsontin PetTo? FretPreBS. I Vash so Glad I Vash Here. Mrl^Mdody, ?ho does not believe that immersion is absolutely essential for baptbm, was holding a protracted "iaeeting, sad one night preached on the ?abject of baptism. In the coarse of hts remarks he said that some believe it necessary to,go down into the,water, and come ap ant of it, ta be baptized. Bat this be claimed to bc a doubtful question^' for tber prepositioa "into," as used 'in ~tHe Scriptares could be render? ed differently, z? it does not mean into at all times.4.'. "?Moses,? he said, *"we are told, went sp into the moan tain, and the Saviour was taken np into a high . mountain, etc. Now we do not sup? pose either went into a moon tain, but west untojt. So with going down into the water; it might mean simply going down close by or near to the water, and being baptized in tbe ordinary way, by sprinkling or pouring.' Mr. Moody carried this idea oat fully, giving the impression that repentance and conver? sion to God were more essential than the particular "form of baptism." This left the new converts perfect liberty to join either the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian or Baptist church. . After Mr. Moody bad closed his dis? ecarse an invitation was given for any one so disposed to rise and express bis thoughts. "Quite?a number of his brethren arose and said they were glad they bad been present on this occasion, that they were well pleased with the sound sermon they bad just heard, and felt their souls greatly blessed. Final? ly a [corpulent gentleman of Teutonic extraction, a stranger to al), arose and broke the silence that was almost pain? fal as follows : ' ?Mister Breacher, I is so glad I vash | tere to-night, for I has bad explained to my mint ^ome dings dat I Deffer could pelief before, Oh, I is so glad dat into does not mean into at all, bat sbast close by or near to, for now I can T>?K?f-many dings vot I could not pehef Jle^pre.n We reat Mr. Breacher, dat * ^fca?e?

W? and Humor of the Age.7 - ? ? -- Gush. Don't gash. Avoid extremes, su? perlatives and-gush. Don't exag? gerate the significance of trifles ; don't describe mole hills as moun? tains. If a raindrop wets your face, don't say that the storm was terrible ; if a person is polite to you, or dues you a favor, don't immediately con? clude that he adores you and would die for you ; if, on the other hand, he seems somewhat uneflusive, don't infer that he hates and would like to kill you. Appreciate all good things, but don't sentimentalize over them. Don't mn when walking would be just as veil, and probably better, and don't just pour yourself out when, perhaps, it would be better to contain yourself. Gush is doubtless enjoyed by an individual here and there who is himself effusive, but by the world iii general it is usually re? ceived as one of the things to be en? dured with other afflictions.- Watch? man. . m 1MB I - i - Sentiment and Hard Prose. He was rather sentimental, and he and his friend were in the park. A little way off two ladies were seated. One of them was ^very pensive and ex? tremely pretty.

TJ- Convention at Newberry. I The Committee on Resolutions report as follows: Realizing our dependence npon the Su? preme Ruler of the Universe, and thanking .Him fbr?is .guidance and protection of the ^Woman's- Christian Temperance Union of South Carolina since its existence, as a State organization ; we do affirm the following as the principles, upon which the work of the ; Society is based : [ I. We believe that the success of the Tem j pera a ce reform depends upon total abstinence I fortbe individual, and entire prohibition for ( the State. ! 2.. We believe that the liquor traffic is "not only a sin against Go4 and His divine law, bat that it is a disgrace to the nation. It de? stroys the happiness of home and;brings into the domestic circle untold sorrow in every lorm ; therefore, R&oloed, That we, the wives, mothers, and j sisters of South Carolina, most earnestly pro ! test against the sale of poisonous beverages in i our communities. Resolved, That the members of the W. C. T. U. of South Carolina, In Convention as? sembled, do again most earnestly appeal to the women of South Carolina to unite with ns in onr efforts ta drive the iniquitous traffic from our beloved State. And WHERBas, nnfermented wine, made from the pure juice of the grape: suchas Pharaoh's cup-bearer made when the Scriptures tell us : "He pressed the juice of the grape into the cup and handed' it to the King," and-again in Dent. 32ud chapter, 14 verse, we read that before God's chosen fell, they drank the pure blood of the grape and after their apostacy, they drank the. poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps, as our wine of commerce now is, therefore, Resolved, That* we petition the 'officers of State and County Fairs to encourage, by offer? ing- premiums, ' the manufacture of nnfer? mented wine. Resolved, That since as a nation we cannot expect the blessing of God, while in open violation of His positive command to keep holy the Sabbath day, we wish especially to express our disapproval of military parades, excursion parties and above all the opening of saloons on Sunday. WHSRRAS, It is not the will of our Heavenly Father that one of His little ones should per? ish, and with the temptation of the open sa? loon cn every band, our children are in great danger. Resolved, That we establish Bands of Hope and Temperance schools whenever it is possi? ble to do so ; and since the International Sunday School Convention has prepared a quarterly temperance lesson for the Sabbath School, we urge.all teachers to prepare them? selves, so that their teaching may be effectual and the childred made to understand that no drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of God. Resolved, That as our colored population even more than the whites, are the victims of I the rum traffic we impress upon our organizer the importance of forming unions for the ! colored people all over the State with officers of their own, and urge our white unions to gire them all the assistance and information .possible to enable them to carry OD their j work successfully. Resolved, Tbat, as reformation more than punishment is the course to pursue with youthful criminals, the W. C. T. U. of S. C., respectfully memorialize the next Legislature in behalf of the women and juvenile criminals confined io our penitentiaries and jails; that they shall be separated from the older and more hardened -criminals, leaving tbe remedy ia .their consideration and good judgment, and asking their careful and prayerful atten? tion toa matter so vital to our humanity, Christianity and civilization. Resolved, That we are grati?ed at the in? terest expressed by the Normal Institute, and Teachers Insulate, and many teachers in our S?tate, in the great work of Temperance, ?nd v?e ask them for their support in the general use in their schools of the books on Physi oloffy and Hygiene adopted by State Board. Resolved, That as we are said to have the best local option law in the nation, We do most earnestly urge our legislature to exactly nnd unmistakably indicate what officials are responsible for the enforcement of it, and we do pray them to attach such heavy penalties for failure of those officers to perform their duties, that our excellent le ivs shall no lon? ger remain a dead letter on our Statue Books. Having heard from good authority that some physicians are in the habit of selling for a consideration batches of prescriptions signed by themselves as il. D's, to be used in ,:dry towns" to obtain liquor from drug stores, and whereas this is degrading to a grand profession, j Resolved,- Thar we petition the Medical Society to expre*" 'ht:r disapprobation of this conduct, and, at \r as possible, DUI an end to it. Resolved, That we hare great reason to re- j joice over the warra sympathy expressed for our work by many of the religious bodies of the State, and that we express our thanks to the Churches which hare extended courte? sies to our Unions during the past year. Resolved, That the grateful thanks of this Convention are due and are hereby teudered to the W. CT U. to its committee on Re? ception, and to the citizens of Newberry for their hospitality in receiving this Convention so graciously and entertaining the delegates so bountifully. Resolved, That we return thanks to the railroads of the State for a reduction of fare. Resolved, That we return thanks to the Pas? tor and officers, of the Methodist Church who have opened its doors for our Convention, and also to the committee of ladies aud gentlemen who decorated it. Resolved, That words cannot express our ? admiration and thanks for the public speakers and singers who made our meetings in the Opera House occasions, ever to be cherished in our memory. Something You Need-Shorthand. .'Why?" Because it will aid you more than anything else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will serve you in case of misfortune. "How can it be learned?" By the aid of a book studied at home and lessons by mail from an accomplished reacher. "At what expense ?" The trifling sum of $6 00, including book. "Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the same course of instruction for $25? Because a new text-book is used that re? duces the labor of learning proportionately to the difference in price by the system being made simpler than heretofore and more prac? tical, besides being the most popular method, having the indorsement of our Cougressional and professional reporters every where, togeth? er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of Phonographic Colleges.
