THE DEDICATION.
Messrs. Editors;—Allow me a
small space in the News Sc. Farmer
to say a few words about Itethany.
Yesterday was a day long to be
remembered at ibis place—it being
the d.iy appointed lor the dedication
ot the Baptist church, just com
pleted.
The church itself is a model of
beauty as well as good workmanship
and fine taste, and reflects great
credit on the builder, Mr. L. tl.
Cook, who by the way is a master
workman.
Many thanks aie due Mr. Wra.
Donovan also, for valuable sugges
tions and the most liberal aid in its
erection. Such a building is an
honor 10 Bethany church, aud cred
itable to the community. So much
for the edifice. Now tor the dedica
tion.
A more b'-autiful day for such an
occasion was ti'-ver seen. Al an
early hour all the roads and avenu- 8
leading to the church were thronged
with carriages, equestrians and pe
destrians, and soon filled the house
to ove:flowing, while many were
unable to gain admission.
The exercises opened with music
that musi have thrilled every listen
er who had a speck of music in his
soul. Then followed a fervent and
ajipropria e prayer by Rev. Mi.
Hiilyer, of Forsyih, who had been
invited to preach the dedic it ion ser
mon.
From an appropriate text he
preached a clear, forcible, logical
seimon, evincing much thought and
clear perception of the teachings of
the sacred text. In a word, \it was
such a sermon as we seldom have
the pleasure of hearing.
The s nnon over, the dedication
was the next thing in order. Here
a formidable obstacle presented it
self, that, at fiiet sight, seemed in
surmountable. A thousand dollars
hail to be mis' and to complete the pay
mt nt before it could be dedicated to
the Most High. Suffice it to say,
that in less than an hour that large
amount was forthcoming—to the
great credit of not only members of
the and ff'ereui churches but many out
siders.
The church was then solemnly
dedicated to Qod in a sub:ime a .«J
touching prayer, and the vast as
sembly dispersed tor an hour, to
partake of refreshme ts fro u a mul
titude of baskets which soon pre
sented themselves with their inva~
iug contents. Wtlat followed may
be eas ly imagined. All pres- ni
were inviud to paitake, and tew
required a second invisation.
Dinner over, the audience repair
ed to the church to listen to the dul
cit sound ot the melodion, accompa
nied by the same vocal stiains that
thrilled the soul before dinner, anil
to hear a souKsiirring sermon from
Rev. J. M. Cross.
Thus ended the exercises of the
day, which all present seemed to
enjoy most heartily, bui lew more
than tlid your humble servant, the
writer. jj*#*#**.
BROTHERLY LOVE.
Attentive Brothers to Sisters make Good
Husbands.
Nut many Sahb.uthsagn a stranger
was standing at tie do >r of the Bap
list. Church in this citv. talking to a
member of the church while the con
gregation w re gathering. A young
gentleman came up with Ins sistei
and walked in. The stranger asked
who that young in»n w.;s, ilie mem
ber told him, lie ihen asked what
young lady that was witti him ; he
was told who she was. He then
asked if this young man was in the
habit of coming io church with Ins
s ster. The member told him he
never failed to do it morning am!
night, when he was at hone or
when she warned to attend church.
The strauger said, “I wou and like to
make his acquaintance, shake his
hand and tip iny bi avei to him, am)
congiatulate his sist- r tor having a
true and a noble brother and he
went on to t' ll what he had ofien
heard his old lather say about young
men who < onsulted the interest,
comfort and pi asure of their sis er;
that tli* y invariably made good ami
aßeciiooutc husbands, and never ob
jected to his daughu-r as ociatiug
with such bui rather encourged it,
for he never knew one of ihai soit
but what was a gentleman and made
a good and u»e:ul citizen, and done
well in life.
There is more truth than poetry
in the a ovc. VVe know the young
man eluded 10, and know that the
old mail's prophecy holds true in his
case and will ninety-nine times in a
tuadud. The stranger surl if Ii"
were a young lauy he w .uld 6 o lor
him qu ck.
Two many young m*n neglect
their mothers aud sisters. They are
seldom if ever seen with them, un
less it is at home. This is not as it
stiould be. Nothing is more becom
inh in a young man .han to be kind
and attentive to them at all times,
and not to go off and leave the n to
g) and cone the best they can, or
si ay at home. Some young men
treat their sisters shameful y in this
wav. Young ladies beware ot all
such, They would soon get tired of
you and treat you as they did their
mothers and sisters : nothing is more
natural in such cases. It is human
nature, and you know you stand a
poor chance to change it, don’t
yo< ?
It improves the looks and conduct
of any young man to keep the com
pany ot his mother and sister; not
only that but it proves that they
have some refinement about them,
aud will he men.— Rome Courier.
From the Padticoh Kentuckian, 14tii.
A FIENDISH OUTRAGE.
Two Children Burned jto? Death by a
Discharged Domestic.
Some weeks ago a woman calling
herself Bridget Maltiony applied to
Dr. Jack-on of Columbus, Ivy., for
the place of cook. Employment was
given her, aud tor a slio t time she
gave satisfaction. A few days ag i
the doctor noticed some irregularities
in h r life, and notified bet that she
must look out lor another home.—
This infuiiaied her beyond control
—ihe pern up devil in tier nature
burst lorih in a fury of pas-ion that
sent ihe doctor scampering for the
police, and ihe family for an asylum
of safety. When he return and, Brid
get had departed, leaving his mirrors
and furniture a wreck. It appears
thai, fiom a mistaken kindness, she
was not prosecuted, but allowed to
go unmolested. From his residence
she went to the ho el or boarding
hous- kept by an estimable German
Catholic uamed Swiizher, n- v ar the
M. and O. Railroad. She ea-ily im
po-ed herself upon the good nature
ot the lady, and was pem.itted to
stop with her, paying tier board in
work. She behaved badly again,
and Mrs. S. d<s harged her. Instead
of going off, however, she went up
into Mr. ES’s room (it wa= immediate
ly afer breakfast) and sent lor this
lady from the dining room. When
she got into her presence she com
menced to abuse her in a most shame
ful manner. Mrs. Bwifzher tried to
q iet lo r, and expressed sympathy
lor her. Biidg-1 told her she had
bette: sympathize wth herself, and
made for her. Mrs. S rushed down
stairs, leaving her ch ldren, consi-t
--tng of a little hoy four yea s oIJ
two daughters aged respectively six
.md ten, in the room. The o'dest
says that, the two children were in
he bed with the musquito bar fas
tened down around it, and that
Bridget and lib- rately took the lamp
and saturated the bed and children
with coal oil aud fired it.
Before assistancecould reach them
t he passage was a solid sheet of flame
and the two children were burned,
w ith the house and most o’ the fur
niture. The fiend is in prison, and
the poor me her nearly distr. cted
with grief at her terrible ioss.
The Country Skool Mom.
She is invariably about twenty
three years and six mouths o and, and
remains right t;iare lor a term es
years.
She wears her hair either kut short
or hinging around in ring'ets, and
iz as piecise in all things ax one of
Fairbanks impioved p ! atform scales.
She never lulls out loud, and sel
dom smiles, but when slip does she
dO's it according to the rules laid
down by Murray for speaking out
and pronouncing the inglish language
co r« ct ly.
She is the very essence of double
extracted propii* ty, and would rath
er be four years behind the f ishi .ns,
iii her dress and b um't, than to spel
a word wrong, or purse a sentence
inkorri c ly.
She keeps a scrap book and an al
bum, and would prefer rat her to have
ih * name ov sum-.nilk-waier poet
than the name of sum* good man to
a sixty day*B note.
Th. country skool mom seldom
dies an old maid; she gets mariied
generally to sum man who has but
l'tile cdurashn, and he thinks (as im
ort to) that there ain’t another such
a larut woman as Ins wile on the luce
ol the earth.
VViili all her precise phoolishness
