As on tho morning sky clusters of pur ple cloud* begin lo brighten, Jacob xocs it is an angel w>lb whom he has been contending ami not one of iiis brother's coadjutors. “Let me go.” erics the angel, lifting himself up into tho ill :r sasing light, “llio day breaketh.’’ You see, In the first place, that God allows Hi* people sometimes to get into a terrible struggle.

S one giant panic, with long arms and grip like death, look you in an awful wrestle from which you have not yet escaped; and it is nuri’rlnin whether it will throw you or you will throw it. Here is another soul in struggle with s mie hail appetite, lie knew not now stealthily it was growing upon him. fine hour he woke up The-e lie roes bud tho whole World to cheer them on; hut there were none tn applaud the struggle ill that bumble home. She fought for bread, for clothing, for lire, for shelter, w ith aching head nml weak side and exhaustedstrength.throngli the long night by the brook Jabbok, Could it he that* none would give her he!p 'i Had God forgotten to be gracious? No, contending aoul- fhe midnight air is full of wings coming to' die rescuo. She hears it iiob-, In the sough of the night wind, in the ripple of the brook Jablmk— the promise made so long ago, ring ing down the sky, “Thy fatherless children, 1 will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.” Sonio ono said to a very poor wo man. “liow is it that ill such distress you keep cheerful?” She said; “I do it bv w|iat 1 call ‘cross-prayers;’ when I had nif cents to p'ay. and nothing to pay it with, aud bread to buy, ami nothing to buy it with. I used lo sit down and cry. Rut now I do not get discouraged. If I go along iho sfrcol, I say, ‘tho Lord help me.' I then go ou until I come lo another erosslng of a street, and again I say, ‘tho Lord help mo.’ Ami so I tiller a prayer at every crossing; and since l have got into the habit ot saying theso cross-pray ers. I have been able lo keep tip niy eolirago.” Learn again front till* subject that people sometimes nrp surprised to find out that what tlioy iiave been struggling with in Iho darkness is really nn angel of blessing. Jacob found in the morning that .thi* sfYangeporsonago was'not an enemy out a God-dispatchod messsonger to promise prosperity for him and for his children. So many a man at the close of his trial has found out that lie lisifbeen trying to throw down ld« own blessing. If vntt are a Christian man I will go hack in your history nml find that the grand est tilings that have ever happened to yon hnvo bcon your trials.

There is no way to get the-wheal out of llu- straw, but lo thresh it. There is no way to purify the gold but to burn it. Look at tlie people who Imvc always had it their own way. They are proud, discontented, useless ami unhappy. If you want to find cheer ful folks go nulling those who have been purified by the -fire.

In God’s name, I proclaim cessation of hos tilities. You shall not always go saddened and heart-broken. God will lift your burden. God will bring your dead to life.

The morning star trembles on a brightening sky. The gates of the East begin to swing open. The day breaketh. Luther aud Mvlanctlion are talking together gloomily about tlie prospects of the Church. They could see no hope of dclircranee. Aflerawhile Luth cr got up and said to Mclancthou: “Come, Philip, let us sing the forty- sixth psalm of David. God is our refuge and strength—a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear, though tho earth be removed, and though tho moun tains be carried into the midst of the sea; though tha waters roar and be troubled; though tho moun tains shake with Ihe swelling there of.” Death to many—nay to all—is a struggle and a wrestle. We have msuv friend* that it will be hard to leave. I care not how bright onr future hope*, it is a bitter thing to iook upon this fair world and know that we shall never again see its blossoming spring, it* falling fruits, its sparkling streams, and to say farowcll to those with whom we played in childhood, or counseled in 'manhood. In that night, like Jacob, wo may have to wrestle; hut God wilt not leave us unbless ed. It shall not be told in Heaven that a dying son! cried onto God lor help, .but was delivered. The lattice may be turned to keep out the sun. or the book set to dim the ligltt of the midnight taper, or the room tnaj’ be Riled with tte cries of orphanage and widowhood, or the Church of Christ may mourn over onr going; but if Jesus calls, all is well. The strong wrestling by tlie brook will eease. The hours of death’s niuht will pass along; one o’clock in Ihe morning—two o’clock —three o'clock—four o’clock in the morning. Tho day breaketh. So 1 would hnvo it when I die. I am in no haste to begone. I have no grudge against the world. The only fault I have to find with this world is that it treats me so well. Rut when the lime conies to go 1 want to be read)’—my worldly af fair* all settled. If I have wronged robbers I want to be sure of their forgiveness. In that last wrestling, my arm cn’eebled. with sickness amt my head faint, I want Jesus be side me. If there be hands on this side of the flood stretched out to bold me back me back, I want lieavcoiy hands stretched ont to draw me forward. Then, O Jesus, help me in and help tne upt Un fearing, undoabting may I step right out into tho light,and be able to look back to my kindred and frtvuds, who would detain me here, exclaiming: “Let me go.

We may hare found thecomfortof the Cri.s*. and yet ever after show that in the dark night and by the brook Jabbok we were trouble-touched. ! Again, we may take the idea Of the text and announce the approach of the day-dawn. No one was ever more glad to see the morning than was Jacob after that night of strug gle. It is appropriate for philan thropists and Christians to cry out with this angel of tho text: “The day breaketh.” The worldly pros pects are brightening’ Popery has had its strongest props knocked ont. The tyrants of the earth are falling fiat iii the dust. The Church of Christ is rising up in its strength ito go forth “fair as the morn, clear a* the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.” Clap j'our hands* all j-c people; the day breaketh. The bigotries of the earth are per ishing. The time w^s when we were told that if we wanted to get to heaven we must be immersed or sprinkled, or we mnst believe in the perseverance of the Saints, or in falling away from grace, or a litur gy, or we must be CalvanUti or Ar menians in order "to reach heaven. We have all come to confess now that they are non-essentials in re ligion. During my vneaUon one summer I was In a Presbyterian audience, and it was sacramental day; and with grateful heart I received the holy communion. On tho next Sab bath 1 was in a Methodist Church, and sal at a love feast. On the fol lowing Sabbath I was in an Episco pal Church, and knelt at the altar and received the consecrated bresd. 1 don’t know whioh service I en joyed tho most “I believe in the communion of saints and in the life everlasting.” “The day breaketh. 1 As I look up >n this audience I Western train for Opelika. What seqjnaaiy who have pasaed through they Intend to do there, we do not wfcves of trouble that came up know. There was quite a sensation in this dtv yesterday, and ucarly ev ery man yon met would ask “what do you know about that couple l 1 ” Tuesday night a white man,' be tween twentv-flvc and thirty years of age, accompanied by a little girl, who appeared to be between ten and twelve years old, arrived in this city on the Montgomery train and pnt up at the Rankin House. They registered as C. H. Schneile and Mattie Schneile, of Montgom ery, Ala., the little girl claiming that the man was her father, and both oocnpying the same room. Yesterday morning some of our dtixens were startled by the an nouncement that it w*a a runaway couple, snd that the man ha'd brought tho little girl here with the intention or marrying her. Upon investigation we learned that the man had procured a license, and that the real name of the girl was Mattie Gertrude Posey. Scbne.le visited the proper parties here and asked to have the ceremo ny performed, bnt was refused by each one. Several of our citizens approached him upon the subject sad reproved him for hi* folly, but we do not know what impression was made upon'the brute. There is one thing certain, thev did not get married in Columbus. They left yesterday afternoon on the With malice towards none, with know. The little girl talked very freely to those who questioned her. She said she was thirteen years old and lived In Washington county. We were informed that she was an or phen, and it is thought thst she has money which induced Schnell to desire such an unnatural alliance in order to get possession of it. She appeared lo bo even younger than thirteen, her manners being exceed ingly childlike. She seemed per fectly indifferent as to whether they were married or not, and we have no idea that she comprehended, in the 'east, the serious nature of her vows which she had given her con sent tn take. Sehn*lle weighs about 175 pounds and is about six feet in height. He is a man of prepossessing appear ance, and is rather uncouth in his manner*. We do not think that he can possibly find any one who will be willing to perform the mart for him. That he should desire such a union is something that strikes us with disgust. Such a mau would serve his country best hang ing by the neck to a tree. Mow to .WI lid a Baby, First a man must have one to take care of. It isn’t every one that ia fortunate enough to Iiave one, and when he docs, his wife is always wanting to run over to the nei bor’s only five minutes, and he to attend to the babj’. Sometimes she caresses him, and oftener she s;ys, sternly: “John, take good care of the child till 1 return.” You want to demonstrate, but cannot pluck up courage while that awful female eye is upon you; so you pru dently refrain, and merely remark: “Don’t stay long, mr dear.” She is scarcely out of sight when the luck less babe opens its eyes, and its mouth also, and emits a yell which causes the cat to bounce out of the door as if something bad stung it. Yon timidly lift the cherub, and sing an operatic air; it does not ap preciate it and yells the louder. You try to bribe it with a 'bit ot sugar; not a bit of use, it spite it out. 'You get wralhy and shake it. It stops a second, and you venture another, when, good heavens I It sets up snch a roar that the passers- by look up In astonishment. Ton feel desperate; your hair stands on end and the perspiration oozes ont of every pore as the agonizing thought comes over yon, what if the luckless child should have a fit!— Yon try baby talk; bnt“litty, litty, lamby” has no eficct—for itstretches as if a red hot poker had been laid upon its spine, and still it yells. Too are afraid the neighborhood will be alarmed, and give it your gold watch as resource, just in lime to save j-our whiskers; though it throws dowr a handful of your cherished mustache to take the watch, and you thankfully find an easy chair to rest your aching limbs, when down comes that costly wa ch on the floor, and the cause of all trouble breaks into an ear-splitting roar, and vou set your teeth and prepare to administer personal chastisement, when In rashes the hs^FF WWsaa known a* voar wife, snatches the long-suffering child from your willing arms, and sitting down, stills it by magic, while you gaze mornluliy at the remains of your watch and cherished mustache imi uttering * malediction on baby;* kind in general, and on the image of it* father in particular, never to take care of a bah until the next time. . larrox ruosracia. ■* • * r 1 I Tfca Lai. -t Views, ol luatlh, Bit- i w ards A Co. I Messrs. Smith, Edwards & Co., in their anuual review of the cotton! market, consider that during the present year productions will reach it* maximum for some lituc to come and wilt e xeveil the targe produc tion of last year all the world over and write a* follow*: “This feature may have an itnpor taut hearing ou Ihe future scale of |>riee& It u well known that the American planter is more than aat- isfled with the present price of Mm 4’aple, and another increase . dr planting ia pretty sure to take place next Spring; therefore it will hie* natural to argue that if we gel a;x millions this year, with so bad n picking season, what uiay he expect ed next year if tho acasou is good;? Tho prioes that Imvc ruled tho past two years hare grimily stimulated Colton cultivation every where, ami we can hardly doubt that tho time is not far di-tani when supply: will decidedly exceed consumption.

While, there fore, we allow that the present price or 6J£d. is, perhaps, nut far wrong, with the poor quality of this crop, and the lieallhy appearance of trade everywhere, we should nrge cau tion, and keep in view tho probabil ity of lower prices in the second half of the year, if next crop devel ops well.” Asia the ease with all others, they are quite undecided as to what may be the nltimato out-torn of this last crop, but incline to use six millions in their calculations, the bales being taken a*, the same weight at last year, any* increase in size being counterbalanced ov the lower qual ities as compared wilb the previous crop. •Av- gSfjEW E L ERS. Commercial Honor. The following, from the Western Trade Journal, ia worthy perusal: There are a class of men doing business who pride themselves on tbeir commercial henor. That is to say they valne their pledged wot d above any money consideration that can be accorded them, and it is often said of them that “their word is' as good as any other man’s bond.” When a merchant has at tained this elevated position in the commercial world .he can go no higher, he can command no greater respect, he has secured for himself the most enviable position to which any man can aspire. How often do we hear a remark, such^as aflrm are“gHt-cffgM, theysie gooff Par all they cont-act fori” A man who, having made a bad bargain in buying, for instance, on a falling market, and seeks no ex cuse for Ihe non-fulfillment of his contract, hut swallows his losses with a good grace and pays them with the last dollar at hit command, ia e thoroughilred, and the embodi ment of commercial honor. Such a mau can never be kept down, for hia credit is unimpeachable, and when he desires basinets favors he gets them, “for ho never was known to go back on his word.” There are, however, we are sorry to say, another class of buaini men who never rank any higher than mere money makers*. Their sole aim and object in life is to ac cumulate riches, and if they happen to get caught with a bad contraclon their hands they are fraught with subterfuges to avoid the payment of their liuncst debt. It is enough for them that payment of thi* debt involves a loss, and putting aside all sense of honor and manhood, they crawl under the shndow of their perjured word and ignore any contract that has not thclrdishon- Solid Silver, Silver Plated Ware, Bridal Presents, Clocks, Bronzes, Etc., Etc.

Men there arc who condescend to argue, explain, aud lastly quibble about legal technicalities nnd fairly wallow in tho filth of their dishon esty for the sake or the few dollars involved in a transaction of tbeir own seeking.' There is nothing out spoken, open and above board with such man. They deal in promises, which, if not fonnd fruitful to their profit, they will fit them to a mean ing entirely oppoaito to Ihe one previously implied, and chuckle over the saving in dollars and cents bartered for their self-respect. A man’s good name never deserts him, while riches, obtained through fraud and dishonesty, after proving a curse and a source of misery, take onto themselves wing* and fly away. Too Poor to Take a Moore, of tho Sural New Yorker, u sitting in his office one afternoon ime years age, when a farmer friend came in and said: “Mr. Moore, I like vour paper, but times are so bard 1 cannot pay for it.” . “Is that so, friend Jones? Iam very sorry to hear that you are no poor; if you are so bard ran I will give you my paper." “Oh, no, J can’t take it as a gift.’. “Well, then, let’s see how we can fix it. Yon raise chickens, I be lieve” “Ye% a few, but they don’t bring anjrthing hardly.” “Don’t they? Neither does my Now, ;e yon, 1 paper cost hardly anything.

He often tells Ihe joke hintsolf, and he never had Iho face to say he was too poor to taka a paper since that day.
