INBSCEICED to DTE MEMORY OP .MIXME NOLLZY?
In yonder quiet gtaaayar<£
Isa new-made grave to-day;
And the rain is faUing softly
Down on the mound of clay,
FaUing gently and softly
Down on the blossoms fair
I\ oven in wreaths and crosses
With the tendcrcst love and care,
God only knoweth the bitter cry,
In the hearts of the mourners to-day,
As they leave alone with the sobbing rain
The loved one torn rudely away.
Leave her alone ill her dreamless sleep.
With pale handB crossed on her breast.
And a look of peace on her calm, sweet face,
That can only teU of rest.
Leave her to go to a saddened homo,
And the sight of an empty place.
Willie under tho sod and the coffin lid
Ib hidden that dear, dear face.
Is it strange that they find. L hard to have faith—
Hard to submit to God’s wiU,
As they long for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that’s still?
They almost doubt God’s justice,
Their cross seems so heavy to bear ;
And life seems hardly worth living,
So great is the heart’s despair!
But ah! they forget, as we are prone to do.
Sorrow’s the common lot of all;
Though some lives seem always sunny and bright,
‘•Into each life some rain must fall.”
And so in tbc'quict graveyard
Another pale sleeper lies,
IVhile the rain is falling softly,
And the longiday slowly dies.
To her, life was not too sweet.
With its burden of pain to hear,
So let’s leave the weary heart to rest,
Under the blossoms fair.

This essay was read before- tbe Keho-
both Baptist Sunday School Conven
tion by Mrs. B, W. Brown, of Hayne-
ville, by special request:
“I have been requested bytour Presi
dent to prepare a short essay on this
subject. It has been with n-.ucli trepi
dation and jpauy misgivings that I have
attempted it, and feel it is presumption
for me to offer any suggestions to so in
telligent a body; but if I, with the help
of my Maker, shall be enabled to say or
do anything to promote His cause, I
shall count myself most happy. This
cause has loug been dear to me, aud I
have in an humble way done what 1
could to advance its interest, We have
at our little church in Hnynevilfe an
Evergreen school that has been in suc
cessful operatiou a number of years,
and it has occurred to me a short histo
ry of our school might in a measure an
swer the above query. For a long time
we bad a union school, but in the
course of time our Methodist brethren
(wisely we think,) thought best to or
ganize their own schoul and we were
left out. We were thus forced to our
own house and a school of our own, or
have no bchool. Wo wanted a school,
and right here, it seemed, we met with
an insurmountable obstacle. Our’s is a
country church—our membership much
scattered—many of them living 5 and 6
and 7 and 8 miles from the meeting
house. Those that lived near and were
interested had but few children. In an
union school we had furnished teachers
and but few pupils. The cause was near
oar hearts, and we exemplified the old
adage “where there is a" will there is a
way.” We organized, and many that
had been teachers became pupils, aud
most of the members of our church that
were regular attendants at church, old
os well as youug, belonged to our Sun
day school. If, however, strangers
came in we were careful to invite them
to be one of our classes, and strive to
interest them by asking some questions
we are assured can be ans wered without
previous study of the lesson. It is true
our school is small—aud sometimes very
small—hut just here I would beg to re
mind that in all spiritual matters num
bers are not essential to gain the bles
sing. Four or five or even two engag
ed in the study of the Scriptures are
privileged^ an equal enjoyment with
the great congregation. We have only
three classes and three teachers who
generally have the lesson well prepar
ed. One is an infant class, the other
two composed of grown men and women,
some of them grandfathers and grand
mothers. We have, for several years
used the International Lessons and are
much pleased. The teacher adapt
ing questions to the known ability of
each member to answer, never under
any circumstances allowing anv mem
ber to become confused or embarrassed.
Many- to whom the study of the lesson
was at first a labor now say, it, is a
source of rest and enjoyment. The
members of this class feel free -to- dis
cuss any point, and there is much free
dom and independence of thought- We
often feel that our Master has met with
us, and it is not unusual to hear one ex
claim to another, “'tisgood. to be here’ 1 .
Ta keep up a Sunday School requires
some sacrifice; some self denial—requires
punctuality and much study during the
week, in order to make the lessons both
profitable[and{interesting. Its seems har
der to get the younger members, I mean
young men and women to engage ac-*
lively in this work; if, however, they
coma to the Class unprepared, we give
them no word of reproach, remember
ing, it is not “by might nor by power,
couraged if they listen respectfully, and
we can see that they receive instruc
tion. If a younger- member will not
take tho lead in this work, the older
ones should, and never lay aside the
harness until our Lord says, “Enough,
come up higher.” In almost every
Church there are those that have the
time,.talents andmesms to devote to this
cause.
Let them take the initiative. Let ev
ery church organize itself into a school.
If there are not children to be taught,
there are grown up children that wonld
be astonished at tlieir ignorance of
God’s word. Let them organize into
classes and select some one to be mouth
piece for the class. Let him study the
lcsses'earefully, prayerfully—bring all
his knowledge to bear upon the- lesson,
and endeavor to instil the lesson
with an individual interest into each
member, bearing in mind Paul’s ad-
vtce to Timothy: “Study to show thy
self approved unto God, a workman that
neeaeth not to be ashamed, rightly di
viding the wordof Truth.” Of course
the faithful superintendent or teacher
wiU.hne3t.with much to discourage him.
Often those called on to be leaders in
class, will say they have not seen the
lesson—oftentslim attendance, and of
ten we will,find our own hearts so cold,
and hard that “Prayer will a buiden
prove.” But blessing and success are
only found in the path of duty. As
there must be leaders in every organi
zation, let these in the Sunday school,
I mean Superintendent and teachers, be
careful to use Christian courtesy to all,
letting no little child, ignorant man or
lonely woman go away without receiv
ing from some one that welcome to tlte
house of* God which is comprehended
in the invitation, “The Spirit and the
Bride say come.” It is said by
some tuat our present system
seems to have been an inspired, one.—
Tbe venerable Dr.'Pierce in his beauti
ful vision, which was published a year
or two‘ago, saw by faith away down into
the depths of incoming time, the day
when this Sunday- ’"school’ movement
would compre Lend all; when this world
should;be led by the children of the
Sunday sehool.'and the beginning of
that bright day when “tbe wolf shall
dwell with the lamb, the Jeopard shall
lie downiteith. the kid; and tlio calf and
the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.” If
we can fall upon a plan to get the whole
Church to work, to get them to realize
there is a workjfor eachjtone to do, that
our Lord has no need for drones m His
vineyard, then we will no longer have
to meet to devise plans to get peopb to
study God’s word, or to honor Him
with their substance»Hbnt*they will sing
as did the Psalmist of old, “I was glad
when said let us go up into the house
of the Lord.”
ABOUT THE ZULUS-
The Zulus live in a beautiful, fertile
land in which they have two liasvests in
every year, and need scarcely do more
than scratch the soil and so their seed
to secure an abundance of vegetable
food. There are rich postures on which
large herds of cattle feed, so that beef
is plentiful; and as the bush, or “blan-
zi” as they call it, is full of antelopes,
wild bears and buffaloes (to say nothing
of larger game), and as many of the
men are keen hunters, they are partic-
ulary well off for meat.
They are also great lovers of beer,
which has been compared to thin gruel
made with weak bock, and though this
beverage Ss. not very intoxicating, they
drink such quantities of it during the
day that they are stupidly sleepy by
night.
The Zulu idea of perfect happiness
is plenty of beef, beer and nothing to
do but 10 sit still, eat, drink and listen to
whatever news or gossip any one may
have to tell them. The women do all
the field and garden work, with the ex
ception of hoeing the king’s corn, which
is done by tbe men, who present them
selves at the royal kraal every spring
for tfkatjDurpose. There is, Tiowever,
one particular office which women are
forbidden under pain of death to per
form, and that is milking tbe cows,
which is always done by the men and
boys.
They are a’ remarkably superstitious
people, and believe devoutly in signs,
omens and dreams. A mun sill not go
out hunting if he has had a dream of ill-
success on the previous night; and if he
has a wonderful escape from danger 01
accident, always attributes it to the
care of his Ehlose or guardian angel —
Their ideas of a Creator are very indis-
tinet and consist merely in a tradition
that the “big one of all” brought their
nation originally “out of the reeds,”
and missionaries:, have not been wel
come among them, because King Cete-
wayo baa always thought that if he once
admitted them a foreign army would
soon follow, and to use his own expres-
sion„“eat him up.”
Who Wouldn’t ho an Editor-
John Wesley's Dream-
John Wesley, the eminent theolo
gian, once was troubled in regard to
the disposition of the various sects, and
the chances of each in reference to the
future happiness or punishment. A
dream one night transported him in its
uncertain wanderings to the gates of
hell.
Are there any Homan Catholics
here?” asked thoughtful \Vesley.
“Yes,” was tbe reply.
“Any Presbyterians?”
“Yes,” was again answered.
“Any Congregationaiists?”
“Yes.”
“Auy Methodists?” by way of a
clincher, asked- the pious Wesley.
■Yes.” was answered to his great in
dignation.
In the mystic way of dreams came a
sudden transition, and Wesley
stood at the gates of Heaven. Im
proving his opportunity he again in
quired:
Are there any Roman Catholics
here?”
‘No.” was repfifed.
‘AuyjPresbyterians ?”
•No.”"
■Any Congregationaiists?”
‘No.”
‘Any Methodists?”
•No*”
’Well, then,” he asked, lost in won
der, “Who are they inside?”
‘Christians!” was the jubilant an
swer.—Exchange.
A Dog with Yellow Fever.—Dr.
Sternberg sends the following to tue
National Board of Her 1th: “Exposnre
of animals (two dogs, two cats, one mon
key; two rabbits, three Guinea pigs,
two geese, and three chickens) upon

two days, was not followed bv any no-
ticeable symptons except in the case of
one dog. This animal returned from
the ship in apparent good health, bnfc
on the following day a sharp attaek of
fever was developed, which continued
two days; the temperature reached 107

One of the.beastiesand’eharBas of an
editor’s life is iu his dead-heading it ou
all occasions. N<? one who has never
tasted of the sweets of that bliss can
begin to take in its glory and its hap
piness. He does $160 worth of) adver
tising for a railroad, gets a pass for a
year, rides $25 worth; and then he is
looked upon as a dead head, or a
half-blown dead-beat. He “puffs” a
theater or a concert troupe. $10 worth
and gets $1.00 in “complimentaries”
and is thus passed in “free.” If the
hall is crowded'.ho lis^begrndged the
room he occupies—for if his compli
mentaries were paying tickets the
troupe would be so mucli in pocket.
He.blows'and^puffs a church festival
free to any desired extent, and does the
poster printing at half rates, and
rarely gets a “thank yon” for it. It
goes iu as part of.hisduty as, an editor.
He does more work gratuitously for the
town and community than all the rest
of the populatiom put together, and
gets cursed.for. itall, in many instances,

Not'Ashamed of_his_ Mother,—The-
late John Brossley once entertained the
Prince of Wales and a number of other
titled’people at his magnificent house of
Manor Heath. One evening- after his
guests had been shown over the beauti
ful place some elHhem sat conversing
with him respecting his earlier years.
And concerning his mother he answered
thus: “Oh, my mother was a remark
able woman, die was once a farm serv
ant; she lived fourteen' years, in the
same family; she had to milk the cows
and chum^tbe hatter, and cany it to
market; she had for a long time only £9
a year wages, and yet she managed to
rave a nice little^am, and her leisure
hours were filled up with spinning wool
her mistress allowing her. a fourth . of
the profits for .herself.” “Ah, said a
friend who was present, “perhaps you
are indebted to your good mother for
some of your success in the spinning
world?” “QU yes,” he replied, “un

my mother!”

WAR, BETWEEN TURKEY AND
GREECE.
There seems to be a great probability
that a serious collision will soon occur
between Turkey and Greece. Already
there has bean skirmishing along the
frontier, and the Porte is known to
have massed a large army in the vicin
ity of Jai.iua. If, as reported, the Sul
tan has really appointed plenipotentia
ries to negotiate on this question of
boundary, hostilities inay be avoided;
but, in any cose, it is likely that much
blood will be shed before the question
is definitely settled. The dispute is
over a claim of Greece to an extension
of her northern frontier. In race', reli-
g&a- and sympathy Thessaly.and Epirus
are Greek, although though they ' have
been under Turkish rule. Dining the
late Russo Turkish war the Thessalians
revolted and, forming provisional gov
ernment, proclaimed their union„with
Greece. The army which Greece seat
their asssisfeanee, or rather for their
protection, was recalled on “representa
tion from the powers.” In the Con
gress of Berlin, Greece was allowed a
voice, and one clause of the treaty con-
tamed an agreement between the par
ties to the dispute for the rectification
of the frontier. To this end the other
powers offered their “gord offices.”
But nothing satisfactory became of tbe
negotions. Circulars were issued by
both governments, and a call was final-
ly mado^by Greece;for a aommissjou-to
settle the matter. To this the Porte
objected, but the stand taken by Frame
caused a change of mind at Constanti
nople, and the commission was agreed
to. Although it was in October that
the King informed Hobert Pasha that
if the commission was not agreed to ne
would, inforce the claims of Greece with
all the power at his command, the
Porte delayed action until now, and it
is evident that the seeming acquiesence
is only because of the attitude of the
great powers. Not only Epirus and
Thessaly, but Albania and Macadodia,
are strongly Greek in their sympathies,
and, however the personal difficulty may
be smoothed over, it is hard to see ho w
unpleasant complications can be avoided

Colonel Samuel Fowler, at: request
of the family, has applied for the ad

It was the particular request of Gen
eral lloosl, that tlielchildren should,if
possible, be kept together, and ap
plications^ of friends to adopt one or
more of the little ones will not at pres
ent therefore be considered. It is very
desirable?that tjusfinteresting family of
children, should bave no disruption of
the family^, ties*which bind them to
gether, and we hope that the generous
heart of.the Southern people will not
permit it, by promptly meeting the ap
peal made,for raising a permanent fund
for their maintenance and education.
In due course permanent trustees,
suggested by the family, will be ap
pointed, and into their custody will be
committed the fund raised. Mean
while, this committee will invest mon

that ho interest may be lost to the chil

THE CHINESE^CttjLONY IN
|
The census taken in 137J showed the !
entire Chines population in New York
city to be 157, all males, but the Herald
says the census of 1880 wiU tell x differ-
ent jfcila. Then the Chinese were scat
tered here and there throughout tbe
city; dow headquarters have beeu estab
lished in Mott street, which has assum
ed the dimensions of a good-sized colo
ny. At the present time, there are in
New York over three hundred Chinese
laundries, fifty groceries, twenty tobac
co stores, ten diugstores, six resitm-
rants and a variety of other establish
ments. Over seventy-five have- gone
into domeside-service. In Jersey City
there are three factories which employ
Chinese labor alone. One of these is a
shirt factory, another is a shoe factory;
and the last a mannfactury for cheap
cutlery. It is said that a beer saloon
has been opened in H obokea. bjjtwo
Chinamen. In Brooklyn tin re are about
fifty laundries, vsix cigar stores and out
grocery. From statistics furnished by
the most r intelligent and best informed
of thosei people, the population of New
York has received ,nn addition of up
ward of two thousand five hundred, in
cluding two females. Tile Chinese-resi
dents of Brooklyn number over two hun
dred andjfifty and"two females. Jersey
City and Hoboken boast about two
hundred. About ten per cent, of tliest
arrived in the city from Havanna, Un
rest came over from California. Ovei
uinety-firc per cent, of the total Chi
nese popnlation^are.^ regularly engaged
in some honorable business. For the
benefit of this thrifty community three

ity. Neai ly f a hundred adults and chil
