i\: l:t, I l--“Do ye not know that they

in the present ellbrt is that he may ho able
to devote hiinselfohtirely to his holy calling.

lear that often when lie sits down to Htttdy,
anxious thoughts interrupt nnd trouble him.
Looking for a blessing from oil hi^h. I will
heartily endeavor to have his mind freed

tttli. He cannot appeal for himself, at least
lie w ill not. He makes earnest appeals lor
■liberality to ('lirist'seaiise in our own coun

iemleavor that he shall nejrer want the menus

things both new ami ohl for the eilitiention

inv interest extends, I will try t<» arrange
that the minister of the gospel shall never

JlKMT.UY Ut’SlNlls'S ontt! 0th. I will give more to my minister that
l In* may he aide to relievo the distressed. He
knows the real jtoor. Ho visits them their
time of trouble in their humble home . He
meets with eases of peculiar distress, known
to few but himself. He needs much for
charity. His purse for the poor should not
be empty.
Hilli. I pay cheerfully a considerable sum
to t eachers for the secular education of my
children. My minister has miteittodo with
t heir education for eternity, as well as for
time
I will heartily support and cheer him in
liisellbrls to train them for usefulness here,
and Jor glory, and honor, and immortality.
I must, however, remember that the great
thing for my minister is to have a praying
people. 1 must never forgot that his chief 1
support cometh from above. I will pray
more for him as well as give more to hitu. I
will ask for him grace to he faithful.

ard, t he organ of the Wendell Phillips fan
atics, is intensely disgusted with the new
Deconstruction bill, and pitches into the
Republican party quito vigorously. It
seems to hfitc General Grant only ono de
gree less than it hates President Johnson,
and it sees in tho new hill a law which
makes Grant military dictator over tho livhs
and fortunes of the peotde ot ten States, It
predicts that, within three years, tho same
kind of government which this luw pro
scribes for the South will bo wielded over

the Wheeling Kegistcr remarks: “The He-
publican party after an existence of ten
years, has deluged the nation in blood, de
stroyed the Union of .States, abolished tho
Hepublie, and placed in tho hands of ono

To Work!—Everybody»to Work I
The South, in her present exhausted con
dition, needs that everybody should go-to
work for the production of material wealth.
The vineyard is large, and will teem with
fruit if tho laborers will only go to "work,
and the laborers arc abundant. Let no into
he aslmtned to roll up his or her sleeves, nnd
show the world that the pampered negro
aristocracy of the South are not too indolent
to labor because they have not had to do so
in former and more* prosperous days. The
old men and hoys, the old women and girls,
white nnd black, should feel called upon to
do something to promote the gonernl wel
fare of the wasted South. It is no disgrace
to labor; the Allwisc head of the Universe
commanded that u Six days shall thou labor,
and do all that thou hast to do,** etc., which
commandment is given to..11 men, including
all women, and which implies that the Crea
tor intended, and still intends, that by the
sweat of our brow we shall cat bread. This
command is imperative—especially with us
of the South who are so destitute of wealth.
1 Vide and hypocrisy are tho evil geniuses of
too many of* our people. Too ninny of them,
we tear, are too proud to labor, though their
pecuniary circumstances are such as tuft to
warrant them in living in idleness. It is
hypocritical to lie able to live without work
when we are poor and hard pressed.
Another commandment says, “ Thou shall
not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shall
not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his ser
vant, nor his maid, nor his o\, nor his ass,
nor anything that is his.** Idleness begets
covetousness and all the sins which beset us
on every side. If we go to work, busily en
gaged iu honest efforts to live according to
the mandates of Heaven, nml to strive to
keep God's holy law iil this regard, then we
shall have no time to think of covetousness.
It is said idleness is t he devil's workshop, and
we believe it.
There is work for everybody. Our pe
cuniary condition in the South does not
warrant our people iu living in idleness
neither mnlc nor lemulc. Our men should
go to work, and our women should busy
themselves assiduously iu these things which
pertain.to their proper sphere and ditties.
The men to gather riches and the women to
preserve them, should be the actuating prin
ciples of our day atufHime. I'ursubig such
a policy, wc should soon find that our real
condition is much exaggerated and over
drawn. Wealth can only result from in
dustry, economy and prudence. This we
cannot acquire by Jiving in idleness and
“ masterly inactivity.** . Be up while it is
day,“for the night cometh anil no limn can
work.” This is the day time of our pecuniary
existence; and, to-day, we must “make
haste to make hay while the sun shines”-—
before the clouds of adversity shall over
whelm us in gloom and ruin.
Let “ proud, but poor,” people learn that
labor is not degrading; let them understand
that their pride can only he exalted by a
consciousness of duty well performed, nnd
that to work is not so disgraceful as they
may have imagined. Work is the principle
that moves the world and makes life toler
able. Labor is the fulcrum which controls
the destiny ot nations, builds eities, mil
roads, and makes a people grent. Then let
every Southron, male and female, realixo this
fact at once, and go to work. | Lngrango
Hcportcr.
Ukcitpeuativk Power.—There is much
in the following extract from Lord Macau-
joy's history of England, to encourage onr
people atuid their present troubles. “ In
ovory human being there is a wish to melior
ate his own condition. This principle has
often sufficed, even when counterbalanced
by great calamities and by bad institutions,
to carry civilization rapidly forward. No
ordinary misfortunes, no ordinary ntisgov-
emtnent. will do so much to innko a nation
wretched ns tho constant progress of physi
cal knowledge, nnd the constant effort of
ovory uiati to better himself will do to innko
a nation prosperous. It has often been found
that profuse expenditure, heavy taxation,
absurd commercial restrictions, corrupt tri
bunals, disastrous wars, seditions, persecu
tions, conflagrations, and inuundntions, have
not bccii able to destroy capital so fast as
tho exertions of private oitizens have been
able to create it.

In our future political contests with tho
