There are too many men in the church boarding with their wivos. God will feed an honest man, if he has to put the angels on half rations. I never saw a man who did not believe in a hell, wbo-was not on a bee line for it, if there is one. Young woman, I would sustain your good name; 1 love to think of your good character; but, I beg you, make young men keep their hands off you. When a young man walks with you, and seizes your arm, you may be virtuous, but what is he? Every moment of your life God is where He can put His hand on you. A man must give up, or do worse. I know that His great heart beats for mankind; but I know that He is terribly just. When 1 stood by my father’s bedside, and he held my hand in his, I believe that was my last chance, and that, if I had turned away and sinned again, I would bo in hell to-day. CASUALTIES.

While Longstreet was in front of Suf folk, pecking at us with Wright’s batter ies, instead of coming in and “wiping us out," as he could have done before we were reinforced, a report came in that he was massing a heavy force to the south east of our lines, our weakest point of de fense. To learn the true state of things at that point 1 was sent with a small scouting party by the way of tho Shingle company’s canal into Lake Drummond, to scout from thence south of the Dismal swamp. Going in skiffs, we reached a landing on tolerably solid ground, and camped for the night on a little knoll in a dense thicket of scrub pine, a half milo or thereabout from the point of landing. Os course, I had sentinels well out from our bivouac, for wc knew by many sounds that the enemy wore not far from us. All went well through the night, and at dawn we made coffee and cooked somo venison that I had got from old Duke at the head of the canal as we came by his place on the previous afternoon. The sentinels were called in to breakfast,for there seem ed to be no immediate danger. We had just squatted to our coffee and grist when a sound stiuck our ears which made every man in si’ence spring up and grasp his Sharp’s carbine. It was the heavy tread of men. We had just got our arms in hand when a dozen men in rebel gray, led by a lieutenant over six feethigh and lean as a nail, broke right through tho brush in front of us. In a second, white both parties stood at a ready, the lieutenant cried out: “Hold on, Yanks! If you’uns won’t shoot, we’uns ’ll hold fire. That coffee smells mighty good—-we’uns havon’t had none for a year. Wu’velotsof tobacco, though.” He aud his men looked so gaunt and hungry, and so little like enemies just then, that I cried out: “If you’ll stack your arms out there and trust to us, you shall share io grub and coffee, and then be free to go back and fight it out if you want to.” “Good as sweet corn! We’uns are mighty hungry, you bet!” They at onco stacked arms, and we did tho same, and while our cook put more coffee and moro steak on the tiro we sat there on the ground, tho blue and the gray, and talked as if wo were old friends. Nothing about the war or its causes, but about camp life and other things. And the way our coffee went down with hard tuck and juicy venison steak, would have satisfied the proudest landlord that ever braggod of his table. After we had filled up, the Virginians brought out their tobacco, and di 1 their share of treating. Tho lieutenant had a ’ huge canteen of old peach brundy, aud that went tho rounds. After wo had got so friendly I asked tho lieutenant how ho came to be in on ’ that point. He replied: ! “1 was sent to watch lost you’uns can e this way in force to take its on tho flank. Our main forco is massed in front, where the batteries are ready to go in ifyou'uns weaken, and tho old man (Longstreet) ( wis afeard you might come through the ( swamp and tickle us in tho rear! What ! were you’uns doing here?” “Out on a hunt for fresh meat; got I this deer last night.” “Well, tho best o’luck to you. You don’t feel like fightin' now, do you?” “Not if the boys don’t. It would be a pity to spoil this picnic that way.” So we all shook hands, traded coffee ( for tobacco, and separated, at leost for then, as friends.* The next day on tho lines wc weru all throwing lead and iron ' at each other.

In its Sunday issue, the New York Herald presents a map of New York har bor and vicinity, by which it is shown that there are now in existenoa fifteen complete war ships, any one of which could lio off Coney Island and destroy . with shells tho city as high up as Forty second street, reduce all the forts and destroy all the shipping practically with out suffering injury; that there are in process of construction in the world twen ty vessels of equal power. Also that there are in existence thirty completed aud fourteen uncompleted war vessels that could reach points from ono to two miles south of Forty-second street. Those vessels are owned by all tho na tions. so that should war break out, there would be no escape. China, Italy, Chili or Brazil could rain the city of New York in two days. These are facts that have long been patent. They are capable of being de monstrated with mathematical precision. It is merely a question of range and dis tance. There is not tho slightest reason to doubt that the lieraid's head line, "At the Mercy of Everybody,” correctly de scribes the true state of affairs. But New York is, though the most important, but one of the many unpro tected ports upon our vast coasts. From the upper limits of Maine to tho Rio Grande there is net an artificial obstruc tion that could stay for an hour the ad vance of a hostile fleet of the present day. If there can be any comparisons in such conditions as now exist, it is pat ent that the Southern coast is even less protected than the Northern. In the Northeast, some pretense of defense is maintained, but southward even the pre tense is abandoned. Neglect marks I every station and by official order the | i na\y yards and forts have been left to', crumble iuto ruins. Is it intended that' when war comes to this, as it does in time , I to all countries, the South is to be offered as a sap to the invading Cerberus, while I the North prepares for defenses?

On Sunday, the 17th nit., Hickory Grove church, in Madison county, was the scene of one of the most horrible encounters on record, a fatal fight be tween three brothers named Langford on one side and three brothers named West on the other. Sunday-school was in progress when the conflict be gan, and members of both the fami lies involved were teaching classes within the church. William. Langford and his two brothers were sitting be neath a tree in front Os the edifice when John and Eugene West drove up in a buggy. William Langford arose and walked toward the buggy as if to speak to the Wests. As he neared the vehicle pistol shots were heard, but who fired first is uncertain. Eugene West made a move to leap from the buggy, but before be could do so he was shot and fell to the ground senseless. The ball passed over the rear of the buggy, striking Eugene in the back near the right shoulder and plowing its way through the body to the skin over the right breast, beneath which it lodged and was subsequently extracted. Another brother ran up and joined the Wests, and a fusillade, in which the entire sextette took part, was itu* mediately commenced. The firing brought out those in attendance on the Sunday-school, and a terrible pan ic among the women and children fol lowed, alljunning in different direc tions. Two or three men who essay ed to stop tho conflict soon decided that discretion wus the better part of valor and also took to their heels. The belligerents'were’ thus left an open field, and thirty-five or forty shots were fired at close range as rap idly as the belligerents could pull their triggers. When the weapons had been crop, tied of their bullets the combatants closed in for a hand-to hand conflict with knives. W>lliam w Langford fell to the ground perforate 1 by seven bul lets, and died while the conflict was still progressing. Bob Langford was shot through the bowels, kidneys and right arm and also fell to the ground in a dying condition. His recovery is impossible. Tass Langford was shot in the head, and his left shoulder was literally hacked to pieces, death nearly resulting from loss of blood from this wound alone. Six long gashes in other parts of his clothing tell of the fury with which bis antagonist plied his knife. Rts death is also 1 foregone conclusion. John West was badly cut about the hips, his antagonist evidently aiming to disembowel him. Abraham West’s injuries consist of eight or ten knife wounds in tbo back which have laid it bare from the shoulders to his hips. There is a possibility that neither of the West brothers will die. The third of the trio escaped without a scratch. The origin of tho trouble dates back eight or ten years to the time when Colonel West and Capta’n Langford, both deceased, fathers ot the partici. pants in yesterday's conflict, lived on adjoing plantations, when they had a dispute which resulted in a feud, which has never ceased to exist be tween their families. This ill-feeling was intensified last fall by the publica tion during the political campaign of controversial letters of a personal char acter by John West and William Langford in the Madison New Era aud the Recorder. Subsequently the families had a conference at Thomas ville, Ga., looking to a compromise, aud until the other Jay it was thought the family differences had been amica bly adjusted. Both families are among the oldest and most prominent in the country, and are in comfortable financial cir cumstances. Marital ties connect each with several other families of prominence, and there a-e fears in some quarters that the vendetta will lead to still more serious consequences, Bettor than She Expected. “Yteur letter received.

LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon here, it is the custom for the women to come out in the open air and lean over the bal cony. or stand at the gate chatting with one another. If the day is warm—as day before yesterday happened to be— nearly everybody on the street is out of doors. The children play quietly to gether, the negro servants gossip gig glingly, and their mistresses smile greet ings on every hand. The door of the opposite house opened shortly after 4, and the “laydy” strolled out. She wore a morning gown of light color and text ure, and her feet were clad in comforta ble slippers. After a leisurely glance around she folded her handkerchief slow ly, placed it onthe railing of the piazza— the floor of which was four or five steps from the ground—and, resting her el bows on it, leaned for half an hour, star ing amiably and complacently at nothing. Presently a tramp, hove in sight. He was a sedate and tranquil tramp, and he wandered along looking with an air of en tire approval at tho residents who were enjoying the air. He arrived at the house opposite, lookel at the comforta ble little woman on the piazza, and after thinking it over for a moment, stopped, removed his hat, and half laughed, hall sat ag iiast the gate post. He placed his hat on the ground beside him, and being at last comfortably disposed to ba gin his plea, said deliberately: “It’s curious how things’ll run agin a man who ain't done nothing agin God or man goin’on this forty-six years, but t z tried to do his duty like a man. Look at me” —and so on in his usual strain. When he had got through with his nar rative the woman on the piazza moved to a little more comfortable position and , rested her chin on one of her plump hands. She looked at tho tramp with an interested air and he looked up'at her with grave respect. The story went on until I thought it would never stop, and still the woman listened politely. When it was fini.-hed she said slowly: “Seems to mo that things have been going very hard with you.” has, indeed, laydy,” sai* l tho tramp. She contemplated him a mo ment more, and then, rousing herself with an effort, she disappeared in the house.

Then the little woman strolled , out again with a coin, which she dropped into tbo man’s outstretched hand, and then resumed her pose on the piazza. “Thank you, laydy. May you never want,” muttered the tramp quietly, 1 Then, as ho put on bis hat: “It's a pleasant day.” i “Yes,” sai l the lady, sleepily, "it's a mighty pleasin' day.” “Plenty of time here.

SCIENCE AND MATRIMONY. ■ It seems that Dr. Scudberry, of tho U. : 8. navy, was married about three years ago to a lovely Oakland girl, to whom he had been engaged for a long time. Short ( ly after he was ordered to join the Asiatic I squadron, and returned to his bride only a few days ago. During his absence, his wife determined to employ her time in the study of medicine, which she hoped 1 would boa delightful surprise to her hus > hand on his roturn. Unfortunately she entered a homeopathic college, her worse i half being of the allopathic persuasion, i The doctor was on his way home from tho train after his arrival, when he saw a crowd around a drug store, and was told that a man had just fallen in an epileptic fi . Forgetting his eagerness in the call of humanity, the doctor rushed into the ‘ store, wi ere he was astonished to sec bis • wife engage! in consulting the patient’s t pulse. “ What does this mean?” exolaim i ed the astonished surgeon. “Why, I have a surprise for you, darling,” said Mrs. . Scudberry. “I am a regularly qualified homeopathic physician.” “Homeopath ’ id” sneered tha much surprised husband. “Yes, pet,” said Mrs. Seudberry, sweet ly, as sho took out her “pillules;" “this dosing people with bucketfuls of slop is getting out of date, precious. ” “And so , you have actually been roped in by that • gang of pellet-peddling ignoramuses. have you?” “Don't be rude, my dear,” ■ said the female practitioner. “You can’t expect to keep up with the march of sei- I . . once in Asia. Ju.-t stand back, and let mo save the patient. ” “Save fiddlesticks! Woman, go home, and quit trifling with human life—or perhaps you’d better mix a mustard plaster, while I resuscitate the j subject.” "Why don’t you quit fighting l and go to work?” said the victim's wife, I who had just decided that she would not i look well iu black. “When this person I is removed, I will proceed in the regular way," said Dr. Scudberry stiffly. “I will i not be answerable fur the consequences . unless that old fogy withdraws,” rejoined . Dootress Scudberry haughtily. “Your’e a quack!” roared the husband. “Your’e : a butcher!” screamed the wife. And in ! this way they went on, till somebody an | nounced that tbe patient had picked him | self up and walked off, he being tha oniy ■ person who escaped, as the police arrest | cd the whole crowd for creating a distur- ■ banee.
