A Tender Uon.-cienc* — A good example
of a morbidly tender conscience, an well an
one wholly mpervious to a Conviction of
wr rig, is aff.rded in the story of a hatter
aid blacksmith, who were members of the
same church. The latter, who was a
thoroughly pious man, arose one day in a
conference meeting to tell of the enj tymont
he experienced in communion with God. in
which delightful duty he spent an hour in
the middle of each day. “Try it, brethren.”
said he, “you will be richly repaid for the
lose of time in your business, and do not
allow yourselves to be interrupted by any
calls to business. Why, when I was thus
engaged, I would not lose my devotions
even if I knew I were losing the sale of a
hat—that is,” he added, after a moment’s
pause, “a wool hat.” The blacksmith, un
like the hatter, never troubled himself to
make corrections. Oo the contrary hi» cry
ing sin was that of exaggeration. Ilia
deeds of valor were no less remarkable than
Sir John Falstaff, and the enemies whom
he disputed in battle oft n increased in the
same ratio as those of the hero of Gad’s
Hill. The brethren of the church, pained
by the reproach which the marvel us stories
seemed to bring <m his profession, r»*Holved
to ctU a me ting, i.nite the offending
brother to be present, and in a delicate way,
hint to him, that he was doing much harm
to the cause of religion. A number of in
direct allusions producing no effect on the
blacksmith, the hatter rose and said he
should be under the painful necessity of
being personal, and would unwillingly say
he referred to the brother n pew No. 4.
‘ Brethren, said our friend of the anvil,
slowly rising and looking about him with
tears in his eyes, “It must be that you al
lude to me. I acknowledge my fault, and
thank you for vur kind interest in me;
hu», brethren, pity me. for I have shed, bar
rets of Hi.rs over that very swt.”

Henry county folks have been passing

It is not true that Gov. Brown has pur
chased Bullock’s fine barn and farm in
