Tlicv ought to study. It is no small matter for a minister of Christ lo call a congre gation together to hear him preach on the all important topic of “the common salvation." and he is wil fully derelict iu duty if he does i ot prepare himself tor so sacred a s r- vice. It would be as absurd for a lawyer to come into rourt to speak oil a question of life and death with out ever haring studied the law tr. tlie facts of the case, as fbr a minis ter of Christ, an embassador of Heaven, to undertake to proc;nim the truth of God's word withi tit careful, earnest, prayerful prepara tion. Apologies intended to excuse ignorance or indolence are bad enough, but certainly nothing like so bad as that class of apologies to which wc refer. What then, do wc mean by “apnl* ogetic preaching?" We mean that kind of preaching, whether in mut ter, manner, or object, which is in tended to soften and excuse the sup posed ruggedness, severity, or inof- fensivciicss of divine truth and thus accommodate that truth to the whim, and prejudices of the multi tude. Such minister- consider themselves asset, not f r tlie de fense of the Gospel, but to apologize for it. They appear to act on the presumptioii that the Bible is so con- -tructed in the infinite inflexibility of its meaning, as to accommodate its in-tructions to every phase of “free thinking," “advanced thought” -upposed “scientific discourse,,” and the like, wliit-h distinguish the career of the wildest fancy.

November lOtli, 1880. Editors Xetvs anil Advertiser. Will you, for the benefit and in formation of your many readers in the wire-grass region, publish tlie laws relative to burning the woods, which is ns follows, us laid down in the Code, section 1457: “No per son, but a resident of tlie county where the firing is done, owning lands therein or domiciled thereon, outside of any town corportion, shall set on fire any woods, lands or marshes, nor shall said persons, except between the twentieth of February and the first of April, an nually. Sec. 1457. When such person shall desire to set fire, within said time, he shall notify all persons who occupy lands adjoining him by res idence thereon, or cultivation or en< closure ot any portion of the tract or settlement, of the day and hour of the firing, at least one day prior thereto. Such notice need not he given, on a sudden emergency, due caution should require firing to render one’s premises safe. Section 1858. Any person setting fire in violation of the t wo proceed ing sections forfeits five hundred dollars upon the suit of one inform er—the one-half to him and the j other to the eiliii-alioual fund of H e I comity, and is also liable lor any | ilaniiigei a.iy person may have sus, tsined. I hope that you will give tlie above a place in your valuable pa per. as it will no doubt enlighten many of your renders in the wire- ara-s regions, who are ignorant of the laws relative to burning win ds. No person hns a right under the law to burn any woods except in the time prescribed by law, mid not then without giving nt least one day’s notice of their intention to do so. As there is a probability ol some trouble lictween the turpen tine and Mocknicn, it is best lo ell- force the law wc would like to see all work harmoniously and for the benefit of each other.

From the Telegraph xml MtwsQger. It was night again, when for the lust time I paused iu frout of the Confederate monument and saw, •>iin ami still above me, the white semblance of a man, that marble link which hinds together the Old Soiiih aud the New. No limpid muoiilighl bathed the scene iu sol emn splendor, anil the gentle breeze, which wafted to mu the perfume of its latest wooing when last 1 linger ed round tlie spot, had fallen asleep upon tlie bosom of u vuuisbed sum nicr, anil was silent too. But ns 1 Bloml there, a keen, biting blast breathed upon me, mid a storm ot leaves rattled around my feet. I caught a handful irom tbe wind anil crushed them in my grasp; they were crisp and brown tiud gave mu hack a sound of dentil. “And these,” I mutt-red, “ibese, my country, arc thy hopes.

Slie tiuiiiblcd, bowed her head, aud hurling from her brow the ruined chaplet, tel I anil shattered as it struck. The glorious hopes arc dead.” One by one from out my grasp, the chill winds plucked the resist less leaves, and only the marble pile before me remained. Upward us of old I gazed; my eyes more fitted to the shades than first, saw there the cold, stern, changeless, rigid lineaments of a face Hull knew no life. Calmly, coldly the marble gazed straight out into the night, into the past as it must for (lays, months, years, nay, ccutqries, per haps—silent—“out it lias spoken anil will again,” I thought. “Oh, no,” did judgment whisper buck to self, “Hie lifeless marble cannot peak.

A shudder seemed to flash through the night, and a strong hand pressed me down, a hand stretched out from 'he past, a hand that seemed stained with blood. A dim light invaded the gloom ami breathless with nwc I looked about me. Tlie rn*li and roar of a myriad wheels filled (lie air. Glancing along the gleaming rails sped train uftcr triin, and columns of black smoke from red furnaces and myr iad worskshops cre“t up tlie skies. \way down the distant horizon the white wings ol'pliip* were spread, and busy crowds of freemen pasted in ami out arouml me. Nay, even tlie while face above me. and the white fares which like it—watchful above the dead throughout the land, looked out with elm aged features. No longer the record of a dead cause they seemed, but the record of a deathless purpose achieved. And over all, like » vision of sum mer iu some old p .et’s dream, there enme and dwelt for a moment the figure of a woman. A jeweled cor onet shone on her head, and flower* bloomed white and sweet about her feet.

Six months ago a young cauliflow er suddenly conceived the idea that it would he far more profitable to hold a political office than to put in long hours anil take the moderate salary of a bookkeeper, and lie spoke to several of his peraoiial friends about ii. They were agr. uil hat he would inuke a good I'olice Court Clerk. “You 'are capable and honest,” said one. "lou are respectable anil have good standing,” said ssecond. “The public ought to he glad to gel such a man fur the plac.,” ud- ited a third. The fourth was an old man. He crooked bis finger anil drew Cauli flower aside aud said: “It’s all right, but you’d better go and see Bones.” “Who's Bones?” “Why, lie’s laying pipes to be elected Alderman of the ward You want to fix him ill advance. Don’t let the grass grow under your feet, but g i anil see Bones.” Young Cauliflower saw Bones. Bones was a mail Willi a re I face uml lots of bad grammar. His co.it was out at the elbows and his inaii- ne.'s were worse, but he was in with “the toys’” and felt sure of a nomi nation. He listened lo whut young Cauliflower hail to say, mid then replied: “All very well, to say you can bring recommendations as to youi- capability and honesty, but can you fix Giusling?

What next can yon do? “But Giusling is a—a loafer,” re plied Cauliflower. “Certainly he is; but how can wc gut office without the help of loaf ers? It yon secure his pledge to support me, I’ll gjiea pledge to support you. If you want the place don I delay an hour about seeing Giusling.” Young- Cauliflower started out and found Giusliug. His nose was of a deeper red than Bones, and lie had a black eye lo make the con trast more marked. “Yes, I’m down on the old Bones, —-=him!” he replied, “lie'suo pa triot. He doesn’t care a cent for his country. He’d see the gin rions old constitution tom to pieces, and spit on before he’d raise a hand, I’ll tell you what I’ll do, thouzh. I waul to be a Justice of the Peace. I don’t ku‘*'V any more about law than a chicken lines about asiroau- my, hut 1 know enough to decide in favor of Hie plaintiff, niff that’s all that i* required of a Justice; d—m mo if if isn’t!” “Well?” “Well, you go lo Brandywine, who also wants to he a Justice, amt get him to pledge that he vviH with draw in my favor, aud I'll pledge to support {pines.” “But Brandywine is in jail for assaulting a man,” protested Cauli flower. No’ he isn’t—tic got out thi morning. Can’t promise you any thing until he is out of the Way. If I were you I’d see him at once,” Young Cauliflower dodged in and out of saloon* aud dives and den*, and by and by he found Brandy wine anil stated his case. “Withdraw ill his favor! I'll see him d—d first! roared Brandy winr in reply. “Giusling is a loafer, sir, and lie would disgrace the ticket, and I can prove that lie mice sold liis vole for three dollars! I'll never compromise with him—never!” Young Cauliflower had been told what to say to (lijx, aud pretty soon Brandy wine cooled down and saiil: “Perhaps, it is my duty, as a pure and consistent patriot, to withdraw, lint if I do so I must have tho East ern bay-scales a* a reward. A fel low named Smasher is after the place, but you go anil sec old Rain bow. Rainbow can sit down on Smasher, and if he will do it, I will S i-e his son a place under me. iOW, then, old Bones pledges you and Giusling pledges Bones, and I pledge Giusliug; old Rainbow pledges me and we work the thing harmoniously. Go and see Rain bow. Young Cauliflower went out to fiml him. Rainbow was willing to sit down on Smasher, but the son was the trouble. “lie was sent to the workhouse yesterday in default of 9 4) fine,” he explained, “and you will, of course, hand over the money lo get him mt.
