AMONG THE ASSOCIATIONS.
The F'crida Bethlehem Baptist Associa
tion is doubtless the largest body of colored
Baptists in the State. The last session, at
Live Oak, commenced on Thursday the Bth
of October. Elder Potter, of Monticello,
was Moderator, and Elder Page, of Talla
hassee, was Clerk.
We were only in attendance a half day—
Friday forenoon. We heard several of the
letters read, and gathered from them the
following facts: that the churches were
usually prosjrerous, and a good degree of in
terest was felt in missions. Sunday-schools,
and establishing the Theological school at
Live Oak.
The persmel of the body was good, and
the attendance fair, and we saw but little to
criticise. The brethren need to reform their
manner of organizing their Association,
and adopt an "order of business” more rapid
and simple. Some changes, too, should be
made in their Constitution, for as it is, in
some resttects it is above the churches, in
stead of being the mere creature of the
churches.
‘•.The Index, man and brother Clouts, resi
dent white pastor, were received as visitors
by rising vote, and when a desire was ex
pressed to say a few words about the paper
at an early hour,the Moderatorsaid: “There
is no better time to kill a fat hen than when
she is fat,” and this was understood to mean
not that The Index man was a fat hen, or
fat rooster, but was ready to speak, and he
was. and went at it eflectively too, at least
to the effect of getting a dozen or more names
to agree to subscribe, and when Dr. Tucker’s
sermon on baptism was presented, three
dozen were taken quicker than that many
hot cukes would have been eaten by a dozen
hungry men.
We met brethren Marston and Robert at
the Association, each of whom had addressed
the body, much to the pleasure and profit of
the brethren, and we feel assured that a vast
deal of much needed and useful work is be
ing done by these brethren in their Institute
lectures. Dr. Marston is in sympathy with
the work, and realizes the imftortance of it,
and Dr. Robert knows how to get at the col
ored folks effectively. As proof of this, it is
enough to say that he lectured one hour and
fifty minutes at night, and they kept awake.
We shall laconically note other items
about this meeting, but hasten to say some
thing about the Santa Fee River Association,
lo which we had to hasten, or miss our
chance to reach it, and only saved our chance
by a telegram to Lake City, which hastened
some faster than we did, and detained our
long time friend, Col. T. W. Getzen, till we
arrived (all of one we,) and his span, under
his manipulations, delivered us sa'ely to his
house by 8:30 o’clock p. m., with flesh weak
and wearied, too much so to sleep before eat
ing, so we thought.
At Elim church, Saturday October 11th,
messengers (Dr. Mell says never say dele
gates,) from thirteen cutirches only of the
Santa Fee River reported by letter, anil af
ter the introductory sei mon by Bishop Tay
lor, a feast to the soul, and an hour respite,
during which there was the feasting of some
thing on something more material, the letters
being read, the permanent organization was
completed by the selection of Bishop J. T.
Taylor, Moderator, and mine host, T. W.
Getzen, was elected Clerk.
The most of the letters were written on
blank printed forms, and were easily and soon
read, and made us wish for a J. Stratton I
I‘aullin, like the one at Clayton. Alabama,
to print, if necessary, and send to every
church Jerk one of these printed forms. Os
the thirteen letters read, nearly every one
reported Sunday-schools, quite a number
reported baptisms, but very few sent up any
thing for missions away from home. Several
churches called for letters to organize a new
body for Levy county, and the territory
along the Gulf coast.
Allusions, Sunday-schools and periodicals
were reported upon, the subject of missions
discussed, and The Index, Kind Worth and
Little Gem were recommended in a very well
written report. An interesting feature of
the meeting was the lilieral responses made
to numerous calls, and a tine collection for
missions on Sabbath. While the vote for
officers was being canvassed, an appeal was
made for the Frankland church, that is
very weak, a new church, and struggling to
build a house of worship, and a contribution
was made. During the me ting, funds were
raised for the families of Elder Tomkies and
Deacon Weeks, to send The Index to an
aged minister, and to assist Deacon Dennatd,
who was reported as very needy and very
low. with consumption. There were given,
during the session, not less than sixty five or
seventy dollars in cash.
The meeting was specially noted for spir
ituality ami biotherly love. No harsh
words, unkind flings, or “killing snakes.”
The preaching was earnest, spiritual, and
was enjoyed by the people. Brethren Kogers
and Caldwell, of the Sewanuee Association,
and Elder Everett, added to the interest of
the meeting by their presence and preach
ing, and Hon. Whitfield Walker was cordi
ally received from the Alachua Association,
while the absence of McCallum, Waugh,
King and Perry, of the ministry, and thy
lamented Weeks, the Moderator of last ses
sion, was painfully felt, and deeply re
gretted.
The church and community regretted the
brevity of the meeting, and expressed it.
To meet on Saturday and adjourn Monday
noon, does not give sufficient time to discuss
the iuqiortaut matters for which Associa
tions are or ought to lie held. Besides, this
undue haste produces disorder and renders a
body undignified in its appearance and una
voidably so. “Let all things be done de
cently and in order,” is a command found in
a very old Baptist book.
The Index was kindly treater], and some
good things said about it, several new names
added to tbe list of readers, while others
promised to subscribe, and some renewed.

’ MORE REVIVAL NEWS.
Bro. Becks, of Palatka, says: “I have
just closed a very interesting two dava meet- !
ing at Oceola church, which resulted in the
baptism of eight, and one was received by
letter. This makes twenty during the As
sociations! year, all by baptism but one.”
Good news this. The Lord bless those young
converts. Feed those “lamlis,” brother
Becks, and on tender, nutritious food. But
unless yon give them work, they will not
enioy their food so much.
From K»y West, comes good tidings.
Brother Wood says : “I have been preacli

Baptist church at this place, for more than
two weeks. Tbe Lord has blessed us with
Ills presence, and we can truly say that it
has been good to be here. The church has

been revived and blessed, and we expect to
“go down into the water” to- morrow morn
ing, to baptize some who profess to believe
in Christ Jesus.
There is material here for a good church,
and there are many souls here who seem to
me to be waiting for the troubling of the
waters. The church members are earnestly
looking and praying for the good Lord to
send them a pastor before long, and I pre
dict for such an one a good harvest of souls
the coming year. The Lord will soon an

Brother, What is Your Hope?—An
interesting story has been related in one of
our missionary periodicals concerning a
faithful minister now laboring in the foreign
field. While traveling once in India, he
discovered in a retired spot by the wayside a
man lyin gon the earth. Seen at a distance,
he appeared to be asleep. He judged him
to be one of those singular heathen devotees,
so often in that In nd encountered upon their
painful pilgrimages, and supposed that, fa
tigued with his protracted journey, he had
fallen on the ground for rest.
Coming up to him, however, he found
that the man was really in a dying state,
just breathing his last. Kneeling down by
his side, and solicitous to give help or bring
comfort to one in such mortal extremity, he
put the question in the native language:
“Brother, what is your hope for eternity?”
Faintly, but with an expression of delight
ed surprise, the man replied: “The blood
of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleaneeth us from
all sin.” His strength failed him with the
mere repetition of these inspired words; and
in a moment more, the soul of this unknown
lieliever had passed out of human sight, and
was in the presence of God. Subdued into
unutterable emotion at thus suddenly con
fronting death, there in so secluded a retreat,
the missionary gazed upon the lifeless body,
silently wondering who this strange fellow-
Christian might be. His eye eaught a
glimpse of a fragment of (taper closely clasp
ed in the dead man’s hand. On examina
tion, this proved to be a detached leaf of the
Bengalee Testament. And on it w. re traced
the words which that Hindoo convert had
repeated with trustful reliance, as he floated
out alone upon that shoreless sea of eternal
existence which rolls all around the world.

Southern Musical Journal.
With the November number is inau
gurated Vol. VIII of this valuable
musical monthly. For seven years it
has gladdened the hearts of Southern
music lovers, and year by year it has
gained popularity and circulation, un
til it now visits nearly every postoffice
in our music-loving South, and per
forms no unimportant part towards
the musical education of our people.
The musical contents for this month
are, “Life’s Merry May,” words by C.
W. Hubner, a calisthenic carol, adapt
ed by W. Ludden ; “Petersdorf March,”
by Carl Faust; “Come in and shut
the door,” serio-comic song by Callcot,
and Abt’s beautiful song, “Dear Angel,
sleep thee well.” All this in one num
ber, and twelve such numbers in a
year. All for SI.OO, and a dollar’s
worth of Premium Sheet Music thrown '
in for full measure. Send your sub-;
scription at once to the publishers,'

Speaking of the growing tendency
of the annual tide of im migration to
take its course Southward, the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger believes that
Georgia could probably secure a share
by the formation of stock companies,
each controlling some live or six square
miles. These farmers want from fifty
to a hundred acres each. And such
large tracts laid off in fifty acre lots,
and offered in alternate lots at low
prices would, no doubt secure good re
turns, and introduce a system of small
farming which would be highly advan
tageous to the State, and a profitable
example to the people.
We need a plan of agricultural life
more conducive to social enjoyment
and improvement than is compatible
in these times with the old proprietary
system of the days of slavery. We
want a system which will admit of
well sustained churches and schools,
and a free and easy social intercourse.

Service of Song.
In Church Hymn-Books, which are ex
pected to last many years, the question of
astrong, durable,and yet not expensive style
of binding, is second in importance only to
the question of merit in the book itself.
To this question, the Publishers of “Ser
vice of Song” have been giving great atten
tion. They have finally adopted the plan
of binding all the Hymn and Tune Editions
of “Service of Song” in half morocco with
double sewing, and having the book itself
firmly attached to the leather back.
This has been done at a large additional
cost to the Publishers on each copy of the
book, yet the price of the book will not be
advanced.
These new Editions, the Publishers claim,
are the most perfectly bound Hymn and
Tune Books ever offered to any denomina
tion (excepting, of course, what are called
fine bonnd full Turkey morocco books,
which are sold at $4 to $5 each). They claim
now to be as far ahead of all others in bind
ing, as they have heretofore been superior in
music-type, paper and printing.
They are very strong, very elegant, and
open freely.
A special edition has been prepared for :
Choir use. They are sewed on extra raised ;
bands, and have full Turkey morocco backs.
They can be turned inside out, or doubled i
into almost any sha]>e. They open perfectly
freely, and yet will not split and the leaves
become loose, as in books bound like niaga
zines, or the loose English style of cloth bind
ing.
Great strength is combined witli the great
freedom of opening required for Choir use.

—Constitution.
1 was on tbe train when I read the above
lines. They were at the loot of the column ;
the tidings had been brought in after the
form was made up, and a kind hearted
printer unlocked the type to enter the short
sad story to the news of the morning daily.
Her maiden name we never knew, and it
matters not if we never know. She was a pet
child in some father's home,and was the joy of
some mother's heart. Early in life a heaven
ly Father gave her a new' name, and wrote
it in the Lamb's book of Life. What odds
is it, then, if the old family record is lost,
and the patronym be forgotton, the angels
will whisper the new name, and the Father
will claim her by that new title, and her
Savior will know her by “that name which
no man knoweth.”
Where born, we do not know. Her lullaby
may have been the murmur of the Chatta
hoochee, or the sighing of the long-leaf pine,
or the roar of the high sea-wave; but this
wc do know—she had been “born from
above,” and under the shadow of the cross
her hnppy soul sung the praises of Him
"who lovtd her and gave Himself for her.”
A birth place more famous than the palaces
of kings, and richer in heirship than the
mansions of lords.
When her heart first began its throbbings,
the calendar does not inform us, but it was
in "God s own time” that life eternal thrilled
her spirit and quickened within her being
the immortality of blessedness upon which
she has now fully entered. It was in “tbe
accepted time,” in "the day of salvation,”
she began to live.
When she was married we have never
learned, nor with what adorning decked, or
by what loved ones attended; but this wo
know—she is now the bride of the Lamb,and
in shining apparel she is honored in the
house of her Beloved. What are these altars
before which plighted ones stand but crum
bling stones, and what the orange blossoms
but fading wreaths, and vows but echoes
which die away in the silence of the tomb?
This earthly scene is the type—a simple
shadow ; the real union is with Christ above
—there the throng, the home and the feast;
there the vow, the crown and the lord.
How many children she nursed—how
many live to bless her memory, and how
many have died to be blessed, we have not
heard; but the tender babes in Christ she
fed and loved are numbered by the scores.
Here a crumb of cheer, there a tear of sym
pathy ; here a smile to strengthen, there a
look to guide; here a tender promise spoken |
that consoled a broken heart, there a bright :
and heavenly truth re-asserted to dissipate |
the clouds of doubt, and so she'spent her.
days on earth feeding the lambs and giving
bread to the hungry.
How true to home and loved ones, only ;
those can tell who knew her behind the
trellised vines she trained around the porch. '
Her little parlor as a sanctuary, and a sofa ■
for an altar, could they speak, would tell a
story of prayer and love, and tears, and song
for one whose labors were as abundant as her
prayers were devout, and as faithful as her
love was strong. She was the light of the |
home she loved, and the inspiration of the
laborer who toiled in the vineyard. And is
her light|any the less since it has been placed
the higher, or her inspiration the weaker
since it has been made immortal ? For a
season she sleeps—how sweetly, compared
with the restless nights of pain and anxiety
that made her nervous' frame quiver with
exhaustion, and her brain reel with the con- I
tinued tension. She sleeps, and angels, for I
her as for Moses, will guard her dust as if it
were sacred treasure. She sleeps, and when I
morning comes she will wake to engage in
the employment of serving God, which she I
loved so well while here on earth, and to i
sing “the old, old song of Jesus and His
glory.” G, A. N.

assortment of my Garden and Field Seeds,
and give 30 per cent, commission for selling,
and take back any part that may not be sold
at the end ol tile season.
Five cents per packet is too little, but as
large Northern houses put them down from
ideas of monopoly, no doubt, I shall freely
sell accordingly, and take my chanches. I
have, hhowever, two grand advantages: First
I sell to a population having decided prefer
ences for Southern enterprise nnd Southern
men ; and secondly, there is not a dear old
woman in the South that does not know that
Buncombe Cabbage Heed are tbe best in the
world. Females niake first rate agents.
I don’t keep such a variety as to make a
bewildering list,but the best of the usual Gar
den and Field varieties, anil try to keep
them fresh and sound, and sell them cheap.
For3ocents. sent in stamps or currency, I
will send post paid, what I call a "Family
Bundle,"consisting of one packet each of
Cabbage, Beans (Bush and Running), Early
Corn, Beets, Lettuce, Musk Melon,Cueumber,
Water Melon and Peas—Ten Packets.
Partiesnot handy to my Agents, would do
well to send :W cents and get this “bundle.”

ADVERTISEMENTS.
NEVER WELL— Thousands of People
who not absolutely sick, complain that they
are “never well.” Without being in pain
they are f perpetually in a state of discom
fort worse than bodily suffering. The cause
of this indescribable wretchedness is a mor
bid condition of the digestive assimilating
and discharging organs. Tone, invigorate
and regulate the viscera with
Tarrant’s Effbrvesoent Beltser Aperient
and the languor, depression and nervous de
bility, which are inevitable results of indi
gestion, biliousness and irregular habit of
body will cease.
