How to Treat Your Preacher.
A correspondent of the Pulaski Citizen,
thus writes:
1. Bo rigid in vour criticisms of all he
may do or say. Never let an opportunity
slip to find fault with him; and if you have
a good chance give him a cut; it willluTO,
him to ho humble. If it should wounw)
his feelings, and make his heart bleed, it
is no difference; he is only a minister, and
he dare not resent it. As the brave
always oppress those in their power, it is
all tight.
Make him responsible lor all the
haul times and oppression in the country
—tor failures in business, etc. If you
should subscribe t > build or repair a
church or parsonage, lake that .iiiioui t

pastor, it is all the same to him If you
do not prosper in business a- you expected

5. If you area poor man don’t think of
paying anything. But if your pastor
should get you to do any work for him,
charge him full price, and r.wjuiro pay

on account of the demands upon him, he

ill noonday olaze of Ins guuy
i and victorious in his la-t flank
brilliant, although short,
career, Iramuipressed his followers and
the world with the power and grandeur
of genius where guided by deep religious
principle. He was spared the last test to
which the great Lee #'e subjected. It
was the fate ol Lev u> -revive the shock
i of battles, and alter furnishing us au ex-
ample of what is duo to his afflicted
country h.v the soldier when overpowered
and crushed, ho has left us a character
pure, exalted and grand, tube loved, ad
mired. and revered.
I will not speak on this occasion of bis
gjfcbts as a groat captain, but prefer to
' xMLi to liim in lus still greater character
ias irtrue, noble man Lev ns a successful
general; the victor of many hard fought
liekl-y, is great; but Leo its the true
Ohri.sJ.ian, the pure, unselfish man, seek
iug the path of duty and followin it,
wliothei in the hour of triumph or in tli ■
day of disaster, is greater still. Lee with
the flush of victory upon him, as he is
portrayed by the artist, mounted on
1 IVo' eller at Spotsylvania among his ad
vancing regiments, is grand; but Lee
writing to his faithful lieutenant, wdo
had been wounded at Chancellorsville, ‘T
eotigiatulaie you on the victory which is
due to your skill and energy,” is grander
still.
Lee as described at the Wilderness,
again at tl e head of his advancing lines,
hut forced to retire from the front by his
men (uneasy for his safety) with the as
surance that if he would ,u to the rear
they would go to the front, is glorious;
hut Lee, after the repulse at Gettysburg,
saying ‘ All this is my fault,” and assum
ing the le. peiisiliility for the reverse, is
mine glorious still—it is sublime—show
ing us how true greatness, generous and
ma j mini moils, call bear itself in defeat.
Lee s military genius is coneeded, and he
wiil unquestionably rank among the fore
most captain* of history; but Leo’s noble
'i nhood, exhibited in the hour ofdi-us-
Mvt- at Appomattox, and in the subsequent
and iys of adversity, is a priceless legacy, as
an example, lar more valuable Ilian his
Military renown.

Ii is net surprising, llierefere, that llie
jood seed of Wii.-hingt.on’s example,
miwii in such soil, should have yielded an
abundant harvest if virtues and of valor;
and that we should accordingly have in
Loo a greater man even than H ashingcon
for our matrons to aditiir.'and honor, and
for our youths tn imitate.
Lee himself, then, is the choice fruit of
Washington’s example, and furnishes a
distinguished illustration of the value of
great exemplars in forming the character
of youth. When we recollect that Lee,
lavishly endowed by nature, was reared
under these hallowed influences, that
duty (which lie styled the sublimest word
in our language) was the key-note of his
life, the pole-star of his every thought
arid action, and that he was ever sustained
by his religion in this unwavering and
conscientious adherence through life to
the call of duty, wo recognize the pres
ence of every essential for developing the
most exalted of inanki. and. We had ac
cnrdingly in Lee that rare combination,
the highest order of genius with the
purest molality nf its day; the supreme
valor of an Alexander, with the unswerv
ing justice of an Aristides; the brilliant
talents of a Caesar, with the stern virtues
of a Cato; the transcendent genius of a
Napoleon with the utisclfiii patriotism of
a Washington:
“A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did Heem to net hi seal
To give the world assuiance jf a man.”
We have accordingly in Lee the last,
best gift ol the Mother of States and
statesmen, uniting the valor of the war
rior with the gentleness of the woman; the
j wisdom of the sage with the purity of the
I saint; the virtue of the patriot with the
I humility of the Christian; the brilliancy
iof genius with the simplicity of faith.
: We have aee trdingly in Lee the most
perfect, embodiment yet developed of the
ideal manhood of our Christian eiviliza
j tion. Nature, hit ill, home influence and
' meial advantages, and hi-own aspirations
mt- in* a and Christian excellence, all
; him rue purest ami greatest man of a.l
| the ages. .May his grand character, as u
bright example, a shining light, bless his
countrymen to remotest generations.

A jury in Alabama been impaneled
in the case of a .Mr. .Johnson, charged
with killing his wife. The evidence was
positive and conclusive, leaving no doubt
of his speedy conviction. To the amaze-
I merit of all, the jury, aft o'a short absence,
returned a verdict: “Guilty of horse
! stealing.” The Judge, astonished, asked
an explanation, stated that the indictment
was not for horsestealing, but man
slaughter. The foreman, with his hand
upon a huge lawbook, and with an amus
ing dignified air, informed the court that
: “it was not a case of manslaughter, but
womanslaughter, for which the law make
ino provision;” but being satisfied that
man deserved to he hanged, they ha I
brought in a verdict of hoi'. .dine.

How to Teach Lyinq\
“Did you see that old man, out there?
lie carries off bad children that cry.
Didn't you sei that basket, he carries
children off in? When a hoy cries, a hird
whistles, ami he could and takes him
right off. I saw him take a boy off the
other day. Hu cried, and ho came and
took him in his basket, and away he went.
Now, il you cry any more, I will whistle
for him, and he willcome right after you.”
Tlii ■ is just what I heard a lady say to
a it tie hoy four years old.
The old man to whom she referred was
a poor old negro, who had lost his feet,
and was walking along the street on his
k nees.
When the little hoy saw him come
creeping along, ho became frightened, and
ran into the house. And this lady, taking
advantage of his tears, told him all this to
try and make him a better boy. I pitied
the littk fellow, but 1 pitied the lady
moro. No doubt site will be greatly
shocked when ho begins to lie in earnest,
wh. n she can put no dependence in his
word Should this ever he the ease, she
may blame herself for it, for she set him
the example.
Children expect the truth, and if they
find themselves deceived, it not only
shakes their confidence in others, but they
being very apt scholars, will soon learn to
lie and deceive too.
God loves truth, and wo should never,
under any circumstunocs, tell an untruth,
file Apostle I’aul says we must he “girt
about with truth.” It is an important
part of a Christian’s armor. — Exchange.
Wanted to be Interviewed.
The Virginia (Nov.) Chronicle says:
This morning a young lad, with a parcel
of school books under his ,nm, came into

of his calling, and the hoy proceeded:

"High handed outrage.”
"You bet, and if Bill Snooks was here
he would show ye how he got licked. We
git licked every day for nothin’—jest

all the time."
•'C.iu you tell what partiality means?"
“No. but that's what they call it- It’s
a man that lieks onu feller r'ght along,
and don’t lick another feller at all, Now,

Don't Worry About Yourself.
To regain or recover health persons
should be relieved from anxiety concern
ing diseases. The mind has power over
the body. For a person to think he has
a disease will often produce that disease.
This wc see effected when ihe mind is in
tensely concentrated upon the diseases of
another. It is found in the hospitals that
physicians and surgeons who make a
specialty of a certain disease, are liable to
die of it themselves, and the mental
power is so great that people sometimes
die of diseases which they only have in
imagination. We have seen persons sea
sick in anticipation of a voyage before
reaching the vessel. We have known a
person to die of cancer in the stomach
when he had no cancer nor any other dis
ease. A man slightly blindfolded and
slightly pricked in the arm has fainted
died from heliev.ng that ho was bleeding
to death. Therefore, persons in health
and desiring to continue so should at all
times be cheerful and happy, and those
who are sick should nave their attention
drawn as much as possible from them
selves. It. is by their faith tnen are saved
and also by their faith that they die. If
a man will not to die he c n live in spite
of disease, and if he has little or no at
tachment to life he will slip away as easily
as a child falls asleep.
Science seem i to march along regardless
of Presidential complications. The tele
phone is a combination of electric instu
meuts and batteries for transmitting a
number of miles, sounds of the human
voice. The inventor, Prof. G. A. Bell,
gave a lecture on the machine in Salem,
Massachusetts, and talking was dime back
and forth with friends in Boston, 18 miles
a.vay, familiar voices were recognized,
Yankee Doodle and other tunes sung in
Bo ton to the audience iri Salem, etc.
Mr. Elisha Gray, ot Chicago, has invented
an instrument mote useful, perhaps, than
that. The former, will carry hut one
message at a time, and that n„t a great
distance, while the latter will carry eight
messages at once, and both musical and
other sounds any distance that has yet
been tried. Won ti: be ’grand when wo
can simply go to the telegraph office and
and listen to a great debar in Congress
or opera in New York? Who liaios to
say it will never ho possible.

Lnv iz a pasliun that izoazierfelt than

A man is never more pure than when

A Fuble.
Once upon a time there lived, across the
water, a great king, 'vhii kicked his little
son into the sea because he spilled his tea.
The poor boy was rescued from drown
ing by a beautiful fairy, to whom, in his
gratitude, he offered his services, and if
need be his life.
And the fuiiy smiled and said he was a
generous little soul, and she gave him a
beautiful gold watch,mtuddod with rubies
and diamonds and sapphires, which she
said she wanted him to keep for her sake
and the sake of her aunt’s sister, who had
died many years ago, hut warned him to
keep it wound up, and never to part with
it. So he loved the fairy and promised
with his life to “keep the watch.”
This nice little hoy said he was his
brother, and that his aunt’s sisters were
brothers and sisters to his aunt’s sisters —
that he was going the same way —and
would like to have the watch. And the
good little boy said, "No! This is my
watch, and it was given me to keep.”
And the nice little bov said, “I know it
is yours, kfttt I want it,’ then the good
little boy said he ‘ would not give up his
watch,” and became very angry, and
boiled with rage; but afterward felt sorry
for being so angry, and told the nice little
fellow (who said he was his brother,) that
if lie thought he ought to have it, he
would let him call in friends and see what
they should say about it. And tlio nice
little boy said, "well, let us call fifteen of
our friends: you call seven and I will call
eight, and they will decide who shall have
the watch. And the poor child said
“yes.” arid thought "what a good littlo
boy am l.” And all the friends met
together and took the watch and looked
at the two boys, and said: "This is a good
little boy, hut a tin watch will do for him.”
Then they called him up and said:
“Bubby, wouldn't you like a tin watch to
play with?”
And Itubby cried and sucked his thumb
and said lie was so sorry be didn’t keep
his nice gold watch which his aunt’s sister
left him.
Then all the other boys laughed and
went away singing “Aliunde.”
Then he fell deserted and alone, and
sought the good fairy who hud given him
the watch, hut all that he could see was a
shrouded form, weeping upon a tomb and
bearing a torn scroll, on which he could
dimly discern:
“Watchl Watch!”
