YOUlt MORNING rAl'ER.
"What a comfort I What a source
of information ! How could you
get along without it ? II it fails
to come one morning, even, you
are fretted and restless till it is
found and placed in your hands.
You receive it. You read it.
You talk of wlmt it contains (and
very often complain ot what it
docs or docs not contain,) but take
it as a matter of course that the
pnper must ho printed; must be
circulated, and that you must al
ways hnvo your copy. So far per
haps, all right. Now have you.
while reading your morning daily
ever otopped to think what it
costs to furnish you such a pleas
ure? Huvo you ever felt
kindly towards the publishers, ed
itors, and the printers, who, day
and night, labor and toil to fur
nish this great comfort to you ?
who have been so dilligcntly com
piling all the news and informa
tion gathered From so many sources
and have condensed it so accu
rately and presented it to you in
your morning paper? Ilavo you
thought kindly of all these? Wo
hopo you have, It would bo a
mark of gratitude. Your morn
ing daily comes to you but once
in twenty-four hours. God’s mer
cies aro new in the moring, fresh
with evening shade, and repeated
each moment of life. Are we
grateful to him t and docs our life
prove it?—Savannnh Herald.
“Newspaper Talk.”
The protest against the Passion
Play was newspaper talk, but it
was effective. The objection to
taking the Central Park for the
great exhibition was mainly news
paper talk, but the park is not
to bo taken. The assault upon
Tweed and his .gang was mainly
newspaper talk, but it saved the
city of Nsw YoVk^from a revolu
tion. The renown of great actors
and artists of any kind is lurgely
newspaper talk, but it serves the
purpose. The public man who
contemns the newspapers despises
the best means of learning what he
most needs to know—the condition
and movement of opinion. What
degree of influeuco he shall con
cede to it is his own affair, and
his own sagacity determine the rol
ativo value of various counsel.r-

Opinion of our Neighbours.
The Northern newspapers have
vilified the South until every South
ern man has been made to feel that
the North has no interest in him out
side the trade which he contributes,
lie is slandered on every occasion,
lie is called an outlaw, and the
Northern Christian sanctions the as
sertion in his prayer. Of course
politics, as a rule, have little to dt
with trade, but there have been
cases where political obloquy has
had much to do with the simple
matter of Shipments The com
pletion of the Little Hock, Missis
sippi river and Texas Railway will

Perhaps the most fitting com
ment upon the Republican policy
of embittering the two sections
against each other, is the folio win
extract from the Farewell address
of George Washington: “One of
the expedients*of party to acquire
influence within particular districts
is to misrepresent the opinions and
aims of other districts, You can
not shield yourselves too much
against the jealousies and heart
burnings which spring from these
misrepresentations.”—Sav. News
Unspoken Love.

Then keep thy treasure still,
Safe in thy secret breast .

A Terrible Death.
On tho 12th inst, Mr. Francis
J. Byrd, of Stanley county, ac
companied by his little son, about
six years old, harnessed his
mule and went to the top of the
Falls Mountain afer a load of pine;
after loading the wagon he
detached the nude, locked the
wheel and attempted to draw
it down the steepest part
ot the mountain himself. But the

j It is not the only objection to
[the atheistic argument of our day
[that it questions closely those who
|have reached the years of logic
strength. That would be a result
bad enough. But it docs other in
jury. It so chills the heart of the
oliler members of society that the
children and the young are reared
away from all religious-emotion,
and sentiment, and poetry, and in
herit no taste for the literature and
study of the spiritual world. Some
boast that they say nothing to the
children or the young about reli
gion, because they wish them all
to decide for themselves in mature
life. This method would be more
pardonable if religion Were only a
conclusion oi logic, but it is also a
taste, a color of the soul, a power
to appreciate, and must have its
foundation laid long before the
intellect is able to read and refute
any Godless philosophy. We
learn to love music, and colors, and
all beauty, before we arc able to
discuss the theories of Berkeley,
and Burke and Rushin. The sen
timent grows first, and the intel
lectual part comes, if ever it does
come. Thus religion is partly a,
sentiment, and as such it should
spread some of its gorgeous can
vasses before the eyes of the young.
The atheistic studies of our time
come with a two-fold evil—they
create doubts in the minds of the
adult world, and thus dose against
all the young souls the gate to
that holy land of the Deity in
which man ought to be born- If
ever the human heart is to burn
within while it talks or hears along
its way, this warmth ’must begin
before the 21st year has bean
reached. Our orators, and poets,
and musicians, and painters, and
actors, and singers,do not in mature
life drop down into these great call
ings, but in their early years they
begin to see outlines of these con
tinents and islands, and then it is
they set sail for the enchanting
shores, and thoir hearts burn
within them as they journey. Some
mysterious persons join thorn ns
they advance, and pour into will
ing ears words that seem divine.
It does not soem that the chil
dren and youth of our generation
are holding in their hunds the
same books which lay open once
before all us older ones. It docs
not seem that there is falling upon
their souls such proso and poetry
as wo all who aro now gray com
mitted to memory when we were
young. The magazine and period'
