The Relic's of Pharaohs Times. About three years ago, ivheu the East Ge m-fee (X. Y'.) Conference was held at Elmira, tlie basement of Iledding Church was used for a gcncarl committee room. .4s I was standing there a young friend whom I will call Wilkins carno along, and reaching out his hand, deposited iu mine a circular piece of red enameled substance, about tho width and twice tho thickness of a silver dollar, smiled, and Wilkins remarked ; “I am going to fool some of these old hcad^, see if I don’t I am going to seo if they aro as innocent as they pretend. I’ll bet sorno of them know a confounded sight more than they aro willing to toll, anyhow. You just watch mo!” lie began to turn over and scrutinizing the red disc until a reverend brother approached him with considerable curiosity dcpictod on his countenance. *• What have you got there?” asked tho reverend. • ” Oh,” said Wilkins," that is a relic of tho times of Pharaoh ; a sort of charm called a check.” “ But where did you get it T” •• Oh, one of my brothers who was oiT in the East hunting the tiger camo hack thro’ Egypt and brought this with him.’’ “ Indeed; that is very curious. Wonder what they used them for ? How red aud smooth it is ! Very curious indeed." “ Yes,” dryly remarked Wilkins, it is not often we aro favored with the sight of such a relic.” “ Here, Brother Brown and tho clergy- mat. motioned to another revorend who stood near him. “ Here is one of tho Egyptian relics ; some sort of a charm, you know.” “ A w hat ? It’s some kind of money, most likely. Who knows hut that the children of Israel were paid in sucli as this for making brick for the pyramids. It’s made of ivory, ain’t it ?” Other brethren came up, and tho “ relic of the times of Pharaoh” circulated freely, ere ating a great deal of interest. Somo of the clergymen suggested that it was some orna ment for a woman, most likely.” Otheis thought it must have been nsed for money, and others that it was a charm used by tho mummy-making people. Brother T said : “ I wish I could have that to use in my Sunday-school class next Sunday. The les son is on Joseph down in Egypt; and any thing like that creates such an interest in the Bible class, you know.” “Yes,” said another, “I have a piece of brick from tho Tower of Babel, and you ought to seo tho little ones examine it, just as if the Tower was right there.” By this time a good number of the preach ers had examined the abject, when brother B came up and spying the red disc scorn ed a little taken back by it. What do you say it is. Brother B ? chimed in half a dozen voices. That! don’t you know what that is t” said Brother B , with a smile of incredulity on his face. No. Brother B ; isn’t it a charm of some kind t" That a charm ! No, that is a faro check, such as gamblers use.” That it certainly was, and the brethren were immediately in anxious search for young Wilkius, who bad just passed out. The “re lic of the times of Pharaoh," was not exhibit ed in Sunday-school, and tho preachers went about asking themselves how Brother B knew that the red thing was a “ faro check." HORSES & MULES.

Dear Herald :—I have seen nothing in my observation of interesting matters to surpass tho great manufacturing establishment of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. But a few years ago the first sowing ma chine was made. In tho short period since then the sewing mndhino has become a uni versal institution of the civilized world, its manufacture a leading business, its sale a mighty branch of trade, and its use a neces sity of the age. THE SEWING MACHINE IS A BENEFACTOR OF HUMANITY. and the women owe it a deathless gratitude The swift marvels of its deft mechanism are such an improvement upon the slow toils of band-sewing that ono wonders bow the world did so long withont it. No invention has met so great a want or fulfilled so useful a mission as this. It has gone into every household in the Christian world with its time and labor- saving ministration. Wherever civilized peo ple live, the merry hum of the industrious ma chine is beard making music with the cheerful click of its shining needle, and saving the health and hours of the sweet queens of the home circles. The fiDest inventive intellect of the ago have exhausted their power iu bringing the maching Sh to the highest point of simple utility. Million^ of sagacious capital have devoted their goldon potescy to the creation aud use of these kind savers of feminine labor. Thousands of in dustrious men and women haro helped to build up tho business and drawn support from it. To get an idea of the colossal magnitude of this grand branch of manufacture and trsdo, one must see the operations of a great com pany, like the powerful corporation known as THE SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY. Without drawing any invidious comparisons, it is simple truth to say that this is oue of the largo, successful, prosperous and controlling Sewing Machine institutions of tho world. In fact, my information is that it is surpassed by none. THE SINGER MACHINE has do superior. It combines all tho most modern improvements, and has a popularity commensurate witii its undoubted merit. Its peculiar features are, simplicity, durabil itv, certainty of correct action, not liable to get out of order, easily understood, and as much noiselessness and lightness of running as is pos.sihle iu a machine. SINGER. Mr. Isaac M. Singer, the inventor of this machine, is still living He was horn in the United States, October 11 th. in the year 1311, and is, therefore, G3 years of ago. He first in vented his machine in 1850. He was poor, and had a long and bard struggle in building his great invention to success. Tho history of his labors would form an interesting chapter of heroic manhood, and prescut an instructive lesson to the young. His resolution, integrity and toils, were finally rewarded. IIo has lived to see the fruit of his ingenuity, tho architect of a supreme success, and tho creatorof a vast fortune for his old age. For the. last nine years Mr. Singer has been in England with his family. He has taken during that time very littlo activo part in the ruauagement of his great enterprise. Ilo has amassed millions, and is building a splendid mansion at a cost of half a million, on tho coast of Torquay, in Great Britain. Among the attractions of this imperial residence is a private theatre. Ho lias a wife anti children to help him enjoy the harvest of his labor. THE SINGER COMPANY. Somo eloven years ago, in 13G3, the business of this enterprise was organized into an in corporated company, and has sinco then heou thus managed. Its present officers aro Mr. Insleo A. Hopper, President, and Mr. George Ross McKenzie, Vice- President. Its management has been both solid and brilliant. Its businoss has steadily grown, and is increasing every year. Its stock amounts to ton millions of dollars, upon which it pays fino dividends regularly. Mr. Hopper, the able, courteous and re spected President of the company, is still a young man. Under his vigorous and capable administration the company has made a steady, onward progress. He has amaesed a fortune, as well as made a character. He has just com pleted an elegant 8100,000 residence in New Jersey. Mr. McKenzie, tho Vice-President, has taken a deep interest iu tho manufacturing depart ment of the company, and to his intelligent skill and patient industry are due, in a very largo degree, the superior excellence that marks this meritorious machine. Perhaps tho pet achievement of Mr. McKenzie is the Eliza- bothport works, to which ho has given special attention. HEADQUARTERS. The headquarters of the company is a hand some fivo-story building, in tho finest stylo of modern architecture, on Union Square. Tho rooms are royally furnished. Tho ompioyces are polito and attentive. Tho establishment shows order and management throughout. ITS FACTORIES. The company owns a vast deal of valuablo property. It has five large sets of works. It has immense manufactories of tho machine in Scotland and in Elizabethport, New Jersey. It has at South Bend, Indiana, a large factory where it makes the black walnut machino boxes. It has a factory in Newark, Now Jersey where it manufactures on a large scale tbo siik twist used for the machine. At these factories there is an aggregate of 5,000 hands employed and the weekly pay-roll is not undor $50,000 This property is worth at least $2,(100,000. Besides this, tho company owns largo prop erty in the city of New York, which it formerly used for manufacturing, hut which it was com polled to give up to seek larger accommoda tinns for its rapidly growing business. The company has changed its manufacturing works no loss than three times in tho last fifteen years, thus showing its remarkable growth THE ELIZABETHPORT WORKS. Its largest works are at Elizabethport, New Jersey, on tho New Jersey Central Railroad about twelve miles from New York. These works are new, having been only in uso one year, and were built especially by the company with reference to its wants and increasing business. The buildings are of brick, with iron frame work. They cost nearly two mil lions of dollars, and cover five .acres of ground A trip through these colossal works will en tertaiu and instruct any one. They aro as complete as any establishment in the world They are managed with the samo admirable system that marks tbo home oflico. Theso works aro a grand specimen of diver sified and skilled industry. They aro a com plex aggregation of every high mechanical creation. Everything belonging to or con nected with a sowing machine is made here. Over 2,200 workmen are employed at thistimo in these works, making a pay-roll of $25,000 a week. There is every class of mechanical labor employed, from tho iron foundryman to the wood carpenter, and from tho kcen-eyod and nimble-fingered constructor of delicate steel tools to the artist cf ornato mosaic tra cery. Thore aro about 120 parts to every sewing machine. And ovory part passes through at least two special hands. It takos at least 250 workmen to mako ono machine, each work man devoting himself to a specialty. Tho time necessary to turn out a completo ma chine is about ono month. The delighted dame who sits serenely at her simple sewiug machino in her cosy room, and makes its obedient powers vassal to her com fort little thinks of the immense and diversi fied labor it takos to construct the desirable thing. If8he could transfer her gaze to the busy scene of the machine’s manufacture, and contrast the useful little dainty sowing auto- maton with the vast and noisy instrumentality of its construction, its mountainous piles of material, its myriads of earnest workmen, and its labyrinth and clatter of endless machinery, she would place a higher value upon the nro duct of so much thought, skill, toil, and cap ital. We cannot, iu the brief spaco of a nowspa per letter, minutely describe tho process of making all the parts of a Singer Sewing Ma chine. Wood and iron aro the principal ele ments of a machine. The iron predominates. This factory uses the enormoas sum of 9,000 toos of crude iron a year. There are 200 bauds who do nothing but make the sand moulds in which the frame pioces of the ma chines are cast Each separate piece has to have its own special mould made out of dirt brought down thG Hudson river, beyond Al bany. The buildings in which those nice mouldings are cast is 550 feot in length, and 100 feet wide. Tho foundry is 600 feet long and 100 feet wide. The cabinet shop, where the wood of the machine is polished off—the work being done in Indiana and shipped here roughly finished, is 200 feet long, and 100 feet wide. The carpenter shop, where all tbo boxes arp made in which the machines are shipped, is 200 feet long and 100 feet wide. It has a pla ning machino. Tho company uses two mil lion feet of lumber yearly. Tbo main building is SCO feot long, and 230 feet wide, and is four stories high. It has two oils 175x100 feot. It tcoms with machin ery of every description, and for all purposes. The hugo house is one bewildering wilderness of whizzing wheels and noisy, curious, cranky automata, that fuss, and screak, and turn out littlo bright atoms of a complete machine. The machinery of theso works cost a quarter of a million of dollars. There are miles upon miles of belting, and myriads of bumming wheels. It takes 700 horse power of engines to run tho grim legions of machinery demons ; and tho engines consumo 6,000 tons of coal yearly—a goodly bulk of tho ebony fuel. Ono or two of the upper rooms are devoted to putting together the machines and testing them, and finally the bright shining approved concern is boxed and ready for its industri ous mission into the big world. Theso great works, with their 2,200 toiling artizans, aro turning out 800 PEREECT MACHINES every day, 4,600 every week, and 250,000 a year. In Glasgow, Scotland, at its large works there, the company turns out 2,000 more every week. This makes a grand aggre gate of 350,000 machines made yearly by this great company, worth ovor throe millions of dollars, giving employment directly to a large army of employees representing families of 300,000 people. A grand showing ! The works aro undor tho charge of an able superintendent, Mr. Miller. Tho company has its tfivn engine and cars, fivo miles of its own railroad track in its grounds, and a stoam propeller to ply between New York and Eliza bethport. Through all the troublous pecuni ary times it paid itsvast army of laborers with absoluto punctuality every Saturday night. STOCK AND MATERIAL. To show tho vastness of this business it is only necessary to statothatit takes constantly rt least two and a half millions of dollars of crude material at tho various factories to run them. Add to this tho stock of machines at the dif- rent agencies, the buildings, office furniture, horses, wagons and other property, aud tho amount of personal property runs to the in credible stun of $20,000,000. Tho stock of material alone at tho Chicago agency amounts to two millions of dollars. No better illustration could be given of the extraordinary growth of tho business of this company than tho statement of tho fact that in twelve yoars the weekly production of ma chines has increased from 400 to 7000—or nearly twenty fold— beiug over 150 per cent, yearly. No better testimony could ha given than this to merit of machino or ability of raassgement. The company has branch business houses in at! the leading cities of America and Eu rope, and so me 1,500 sub-agcncies under them and employs in theso agoncios the large num ber of 5,0(i0 persons. THE GEORGIA AGENCY. The State of Georgia is under tho general management of Mr. Vosburgh, whoso head quarters are at Savannah. Ho is assisted by Mr. G. W. Leonard, who has charge of Atlan- Theso gentlemen aro possessed of high moral character and fino business capacity, and stand doservodly well with tho manage ment hero. In all the qualities that go to mako up a perfectly sound, prosperous and progressive business, this company stands the peer of any. It is simple truth to make this statement. In conclusion, let me say that this great en terprise is a grander monument to its founder than any marblo spire. I. 'V. A. The Athens oflico is under the charge of Capt. G. II. Hopo. IIOW LITTLE WE KNOW! How little we know of each other. Wo pass through the journey of life, With its struggles, its fears and temptations, Its heart-breaking cares and its striie! Wo can only soo things on tho surface, For few peoplo glory in sin, And an unruffled faco is no index To tho tumult that ragc3 within. How little wo know of each other! The man who to-day passes by Blessed with fortune and honor and titles, And holding his proud head on high, May carry a dread socrot with hint Which makes his bosom a hell, And he sooner or later a felon, May writho in the prisoner’s cell. How littlo wo know of each other ? That woman of fashion, who sneers At the poor girl betrayed and abandoned. And left to her sighs aud hor tears, May ero tho sun rises to-morrow. Have tho mask rudely torn from her face, And sink from the hoight of her glory To tho dark shades of shame and disgrace How littlo wo know of each other ! To ourselves too little wo know ! We aro all weak when undor temptation, All subject to error and woo. Thon let blessed charity rale us. Let us put away envy andspito— For tho skeleton grim in our closet May some day he brought to fight. From tbo Augusta Constitutionalist. BEX. HILL’S SPEECH. An Eloquent and Forcible Address Ruined by an Egotistical Conclusion. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20th, 1874. Hon. B. H. Hill delivered an address of two hours, upon the political situation. Tho hall and galleries of the House of Representatives wore filled to overflowing. Governor Smith was called on to preside. On taking the chair he said : “ I will not introduce the speaker to you to-night. The Hon. B. H. Hill will nd- dress you " Mr. Hill said bo felt tho compliment of the call to address the people at this time; it was not only complimentary, but it expressed a confidence in him of which ho was proud. Confldonco was the only favor he bad ever askod of the people. I am, said he, and ever havo boon entitied to it, but I have not always had it—nay, when I have been most entitled to it, it has been most denied mo. I have not been surprised at tho events which havo startled the country; I will be agreeably surprised if those which wo have already wit nessed aro not repeated npon tho country on a large scale. The great duty of averting tho threatened evil, is not with the people of tho Sonth, but of the N orth. It is there that the contest must be solved. Their virtue and intelligence must be subjected to a severe test. And tho onlightenment of tho Northern peo ple must be iu tbo councils of the nation. There the oppressors and the oppressed must look each other in the face, eye to eye. The great est difficulty in saving a people from impend ing loss of liberty is to awaken them to a con sciousness of the danger. All the people who are destroyed, have their destruction come upon them by a refusal to see the danger. The word which, has been most ottered for mauy years has been least understood by the American people. That word is conveyd when I ask, “ Who is a rebel ?” In Germany or En gland the word has a well defined significa tion, whioh is wholly inappropriate in this country. There the government is represent ed or embodied in the King—in those who ex ecute tho laws; but in this esuntry those who executo the laws aro not sovereign. Who is a rebel, a real rebel ? In the Con vention of 1787, it was determined that every officer should take an oath to support the Constitution. Why not swear to support the Union or Government, or Liberty ? All these were proposed in the Convention, and were discussed, but not adopted. Various sugges tions were made—one that no oath at all bo administered to officers; that if the Govern ment were administered by good men, no oath was necessary, and if by had men, no oath would hind them. 11 was finally agreed that every officer should swear to support tho Constitution. Why? Because, when wo keep and maintain that, wo maintain the Union, and the Government, and tho blessings of liborty aad domestic tran quility and every good which good government can afford. They then provided that this Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof should ho tho supremo law of tho land—the king— tho sovereign ! Who thon is a patriot? He, aud ho only, who is faithful to tho Constitu tion. Who is a rebol ? He, and ho only who not faithful to that sacred charter of Liberty. There wore two parties in that convention- one having tho extremo idea of a strong cen tralized government; tho other that of a loose government, having all tho power of the States. Tho constitution which was adoptod was tho result of a compromise hotween theso two ex treme ideas. The advocates of a centralized government were from New England. They then claimed, and havo ever since claimed, tho right to meddle with other people’s busi ness. The real enemies of tho constitution have been developed from that school, and live produced a laego share of fanatics of tbo world. They havo sought power for the pur pose of using it to centralize the govertnont They attacked slavery in tho South, makinj. it a question of conscience, and attacked it through tho Federal Government; while our people defended it only with the rights guar anteed to us by tho Constitution, and Stood firmly by that alone. The centralists were overwhelmingly defeated. Those enemies of tho Constitution tried to djtain power by the agitation of this question ho Missouri compromise issue of 1820, the acquisition of territory acquired from ilex ieo, tbo Kansas discussions, etc. Their object iu trying to got power has always boon to destroy .tho Constitution. When wo seceded, wo loft the Government in tho bands of our enemies, and wo left our friends in the North, also in their bands. Then those who had previously denounced tho Union raised tiro cry that tho Union must ho preserv cd. These things gave thorn a great advan tage over us. They went to war with us and said it was to “enforce tho law!” They waged war against these States—not because we had violated tho Constitution, for iu all our history tho South had been distinguished by a devo tion to it. No Southern State or statesmen ever violated it. Tho Southern States left the Union because tho Northern States had been unfaithful to tho Constitution. Our friends at tho North wore compelled to fight us or ho chargod with fighting against tho Union, and they chose to fight us; and in doing so, they fought the only people who ov er wore ready to shed blood in defenso of the Constitution. They thought that when we were conquered and tho war was ended, the Constitution and tho Union would be restored and preserved. But when tho enemies of tho Constitution saw that wo would fail they brought forward tho proposition that slavery must bo destroy ed. They said it was slavery which was tho causo of tho war, and it must he abolished. This demand was hardly agreed to and car ried out in good faith by the Southern States, before tho country was startled with tho de mand that these States must be reconstructed. They were asked where Congress obtained the power to reconstruct tho South. Tho answer was that it was from tho fact that tho Govern ment was tho corqueror in the contest with us—that tho result of the war conferred the power. Then why did they not cease to take an oath to support the Constitution, and take ono to support the Conqueror? Well, reconstruction took place, but it furth er bad terms attached to it, which were that the negroes must be enfranchised, and made the ignorant rulers over the disfranchised in telligence of the country. If the Northern fanatics (not tho Northern people— for they havo been deluded more than we) inaugurated the war to save the Union, why were they not satisfied when they bad saved it? No; the cause, tho real qnderlying cause, was that they were dissatisfied with the Constitution, and they still are ! They mean to have a strong gov eminent—one that is centralized—and they have not the manliness to say so. They have made war on us, destroyed our property, over thrown our State government, usurped power, plundered and oppressed us, and loaded us and our children for half a century with debt through their issuo of bonds, but still they are not satisfied! And some people profess now to be startled at recent occurrences! Reconstruction is over, but oppression is not. Interference with our affairs and reserved rights is just as active and bigoted as ever, and increasing in impudence and rascality. There is lately much sympathy for Louis! ana. Every body expresses it, and she do serves it; hut do yon suppose her oppressors have anything against her and her people? No! Every stab which the assassin sends in to the heart of Louisiana, is but practicing for operations upon a much larger scale—but establishing a precedent. Every blow is aim ed at every State in the Union, and at the Constitution of the country. ‘ In 1872 there was an election in Louisiana, at which the anti-Radical party was elected by 10,000 majority, and the enemies of the Constitution determined that this election should not stand. They set it aside, under color of law. These Radicals practico some shrewd features. They commit all their crimes under color of law, though they manufacture the law and the color, too, to order, and for a purpose. Every usurper in the world has had this pretext for his unlawful acta of ty ranny and outrage. [Here Mr. Hill went into a long history of the Louisiana troubles—giving his views there of, with which the people of Georgia who read newspapers are familiar. Ho then con- tinned.J Did they disperse the Loaisiana Legislature to save the Union? Why does the Govern ment at Washington still think it necossary to interfere with and control tho State Legis lature ? It is to continue themselves in pow er, that they may complete tho work of de stroying the Constitution and subverting the Liberty of the people It is not out of hatred to Louisiana. It is aimed at you, and at the rights of the people of the Union, it is a blow at the States and at the Constitution. Mr. Hill’s denunciation of Sheridan’s ban dit dispatch, and the President for defending and apologizing for it, were scathing and se vere ; and he declared that th* party in pow er would not stop at the overthrow of Louisi ana ; they would not stop till tho Constitu tion was destroyed, unless tho people of tho entire country, by their popular voico, should froivD it down overwhelmingly. Even now. a special committee of Congress has been appointed to inquire what further legislation is necessary—not for Louisiana— but for the Southern States ! And this com mittee is now discussing tbo moasuro of un reconstructing reconstruction, and reconstruct ing usovor again. It shows their animus— thoir object and aim; that they never went to war with us for tho purpose of abolishing slavery or perpotmting tho Union, but solely for the purposo of destroying tho Constitu tion, and for this purpose they aro detorrain-. ed to retain their power at ail hazards. I am glad to seo that some leading Republi cans in the country aro crying out against this blow at Louisiana, and declaring it to ho one at all the States. It gives me hopes that they are now seeing, that tho party which they have nursed is the real rebel against tho Constitu tion of the country. Secession was a terrihio mistake, hut it was not a crime. It violated no oath to support tho Constitution. It trampled upon no individu al rights ; invaded tio State, dispersed no Legislature, and invaded no sacred homo with desolation. But Radicalism—Central ism—Coercion—was not a mistako; it was an intentional crime. It has trampled upon ten thousaud oaths. It has defended tbo Union as a fact hut de stroyed it as a principle. They have obtain ed power and sworn to support the Constitu tion, and are using the power to subvort, over throw and destroy tho Constitution They havo burned cities, throttled Legislatures, destroyed States, and chained Liberty to tho car of despotism. I arraign Radicalism as the only Rebel against tho Constitution, against Liberty, every principle of Justico and every blessing on this earth. Will the Northern peoplo see it ? I believe they can—at least I havo some hopes of it. The great battlo, of whether constitutional liberty shall continue in this country or not, will be fought in 1876. Can it he successful at tbo ballot-box ? I warn you that a popular vote will not secure to tho Constitution a vic tory, unless it shall bo so overwhelming as to amount to a popular revolution. If you de feat Radicalism in ’76 by only one or two, or threo, four or five States, they will use the Samo means to retain their power in the Gen eral Government which they are now using in Louisiana. They will tako the power, and keep it! I want tho minds of tho American peoplo to be directed to tho great question, Who in American history is a rebel ?” And the appeal to tho ballot-box will fail unless the people of the whole country shall rally and sweep rebellion from tho offices of the country by the breath of their indigna tion. Nothing else can save us. But if the appeal to tho ballot-box fail, what then ? Shall we have war or despotism ? Shall we have blood or Empire ? Those are momentous questions. 1 tell you, we shall never have peace till Radicalism is crushed, destroyed and mado infamous forever. I pray God that war may not como, but if it does come, let it come ! We of the South will rally to the defenso of tho Constitution under the old flag ! It always was ours. We were always truo and faithful to it and tho principles it was intended to represent, while those who made war on us never wore. Let the roll call commence at Bunker Hill and then at Concord and Saratoga and Bran dywine ; and when it crosses the Potomac, let it bo heard at Manasa9 and Cbanceliors- ville and at the Wilderness and Chickamauga and Shiloh. Metbinks that almost tho very dead wifi leap up and answer to tho call. This is but a faint outlino of Mr. Hill’s speech thus far, which was indeed powerful, making a deep impression and eliciting fre quent applause. Right here be could have stopped, but he went oa to defend his past course, especially to defend his advocacy of Greeley for President, as well as for his letter of December 1870, intimating that there was some very important secret history behind, which could not yot be told, but that the time would como when it could be, in saving Geor gia in 1871 from the fate which has befallen Louisiana, that some bad accused him of tak ing the credit to himself; be would not say how that was, but bis slanderers bad no band in averting the terrible evils from us aud se curing good government for the past several years. This personal allusion and vindica tion somewhat marred the effect of what he had already said, and was regretted by most of the persons in the ball. Hampton. A Beautiful Thought. God knows what keys in the human soul to touch, in order to draw out its sweeter and more perfect harmonies. They may bo the minor strains of sadness and sorrow; they may be the loftier notes of joy and gladness. God knows where the melodies of our nature are, and what discipline will bring them forth. Some with plaintive tongues miiat walk in low ly vales of life’s weary way; others in loftier hymns sing of nothing but joys, as they tread the mountain tops of life; bat they all unite without discord or jar as the ascending an them of loving and believing hearts finds its way into the chorus of tfie redeemed in heaven. Freebooters—Men who are ready to kick for nothing.
