In yonder quiet gtaaayar<£ Isa new-made grave to-day; And the rain is faUing softly Down on the mound of clay, FaUing gently and softly Down on the blossoms fair I\ oven in wreaths and crosses With the tendcrcst love and care, God only knoweth the bitter cry, In the hearts of the mourners to-day, As they leave alone with the sobbing rain The loved one torn rudely away. Leave her alone ill her dreamless sleep. With pale handB crossed on her breast. And a look of peace on her calm, sweet face, That can only teU of rest. Leave her to go to a saddened homo, And the sight of an empty place. Willie under tho sod and the coffin lid Ib hidden that dear, dear face. Is it strange that they find. L hard to have faith— Hard to submit to God’s wiU, As they long for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that’s still? They almost doubt God’s justice, Their cross seems so heavy to bear ; And life seems hardly worth living, So great is the heart’s despair! But ah! they forget, as we are prone to do. Sorrow’s the common lot of all; Though some lives seem always sunny and bright, ‘•Into each life some rain must fall.” And so in tbc'quict graveyard Another pale sleeper lies, IVhile the rain is falling softly, And the longiday slowly dies. To her, life was not too sweet. With its burden of pain to hear, So let’s leave the weary heart to rest, Under the blossoms fair. A Emend. Atlanta, Ga., ‘Sapt.

Brown, of Hayne- ville, by special request: “I have been requested bytour Presi dent to prepare a short essay on this subject. It has been with n-.ucli trepi dation and jpauy misgivings that I have attempted it, and feel it is presumption for me to offer any suggestions to so in telligent a body; but if I, with the help of my Maker, shall be enabled to say or do anything to promote His cause, I shall count myself most happy. This cause has loug been dear to me, aud I have in an humble way done what 1 could to advance its interest, We have at our little church in Hnynevilfe an Evergreen school that has been in suc cessful operatiou a number of years, and it has occurred to me a short histo ry of our school might in a measure an swer the above query. For a long time we bad a union school, but in the course of time our Methodist brethren (wisely we think,) thought best to or ganize their own schoul and we were left out. We were thus forced to our own house and a school of our own, or have no bchool. Wo wanted a school, and right here, it seemed, we met with an insurmountable obstacle. Our’s is a country church—our membership much scattered—many of them living 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 miles from the meeting house. Those that lived near and were interested had but few children. In an union school we had furnished teachers and but few pupils. The cause was near oar hearts, and we exemplified the old adage “where there is a" will there is a way.” We organized, and many that had been teachers became pupils, aud most of the members of our church that were regular attendants at church, old os well as youug, belonged to our Sun day school. If, however, strangers came in we were careful to invite them to be one of our classes, and strive to interest them by asking some questions we are assured can be ans wered without previous study of the lesson. It is true our school is small—aud sometimes very small—hut just here I would beg to re mind that in all spiritual matters num bers are not essential to gain the bles sing. Four or five or even two engag ed in the study of the Scriptures are privileged^ an equal enjoyment with the great congregation. We have only three classes and three teachers who generally have the lesson well prepar ed. One is an infant class, the other two composed of grown men and women, some of them grandfathers and grand mothers. We have, for several years used the International Lessons and are much pleased. The teacher adapt ing questions to the known ability of each member to answer, never under any circumstances allowing anv mem ber to become confused or embarrassed. Many- to whom the study of the lesson was at first a labor now say, it, is a source of rest and enjoyment. The members of this class feel free -to- dis cuss any point, and there is much free dom and independence of thought- We often feel that our Master has met with us, and it is not unusual to hear one ex claim to another, “'tisgood. to be here’ 1 . Ta keep up a Sunday School requires some sacrifice; some self denial—requires punctuality and much study during the week, in order to make the lessons both profitable[and{interesting. Its seems har der to get the younger members, I mean young men and women to engage ac-* lively in this work; if, however, they coma to the Class unprepared, we give them no word of reproach, remember ing, it is not “by might nor by power, couraged if they listen respectfully, and we can see that they receive instruc tion. If a younger- member will not take tho lead in this work, the older ones should, and never lay aside the harness until our Lord says, “Enough, come up higher.” In almost every Church there are those that have the time,.talents andmesms to devote to this cause. Let them take the initiative. Let ev ery church organize itself into a school. If there are not children to be taught, there are grown up children that wonld be astonished at tlieir ignorance of God’s word. Let them organize into classes and select some one to be mouth piece for the class. Let him study the lcsses'earefully, prayerfully—bring all his knowledge to bear upon the- lesson, and endeavor to instil the lesson with an individual interest into each member, bearing in mind Paul’s ad- vtce to Timothy: “Study to show thy self approved unto God, a workman that neeaeth not to be ashamed, rightly di viding the wordof Truth.” Of course the faithful superintendent or teacher wiU.hne3t.with much to discourage him. Often those called on to be leaders in class, will say they have not seen the lesson—oftentslim attendance, and of ten we will,find our own hearts so cold, and hard that “Prayer will a buiden prove.” But blessing and success are only found in the path of duty. As there must be leaders in every organi zation, let these in the Sunday school, I mean Superintendent and teachers, be careful to use Christian courtesy to all, letting no little child, ignorant man or lonely woman go away without receiv ing from some one that welcome to tlte house of* God which is comprehended in the invitation, “The Spirit and the Bride say come.” It is said by some tuat our present system seems to have been an inspired, one.— Tbe venerable Dr.'Pierce in his beauti ful vision, which was published a year or two‘ago, saw by faith away down into the depths of incoming time, the day when this Sunday- ’"school’ movement would compre Lend all; when this world should;be led by the children of the Sunday sehool.'and the beginning of that bright day when “tbe wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the Jeopard shall lie downiteith. the kid; and tlio calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” If we can fall upon a plan to get the whole Church to work, to get them to realize there is a workjfor eachjtone to do, that our Lord has no need for drones m His vineyard, then we will no longer have to meet to devise plans to get peopb to study God’s word, or to honor Him with their substance»Hbnt*they will sing as did the Psalmist of old, “I was glad when said let us go up into the house of the Lord.” ABOUT THE ZULUS- The Zulus live in a beautiful, fertile land in which they have two liasvests in every year, and need scarcely do more than scratch the soil and so their seed to secure an abundance of vegetable food. There are rich postures on which large herds of cattle feed, so that beef is plentiful; and as the bush, or “blan- zi” as they call it, is full of antelopes, wild bears and buffaloes (to say nothing of larger game), and as many of the men are keen hunters, they are partic- ulary well off for meat. They are also great lovers of beer, which has been compared to thin gruel made with weak bock, and though this beverage Ss. not very intoxicating, they drink such quantities of it during the day that they are stupidly sleepy by night. The Zulu idea of perfect happiness is plenty of beef, beer and nothing to do but 10 sit still, eat, drink and listen to whatever news or gossip any one may have to tell them. The women do all the field and garden work, with the ex ception of hoeing the king’s corn, which is done by tbe men, who present them selves at the royal kraal every spring for tfkatjDurpose. There is, Tiowever, one particular office which women are forbidden under pain of death to per form, and that is milking tbe cows, which is always done by the men and boys. They are a’ remarkably superstitious people, and believe devoutly in signs, omens and dreams. A mun sill not go out hunting if he has had a dream of ill- success on the previous night; and if he has a wonderful escape from danger 01 accident, always attributes it to the care of his Ehlose or guardian angel — Their ideas of a Creator are very indis- tinet and consist merely in a tradition that the “big one of all” brought their nation originally “out of the reeds,” and missionaries:, have not been wel come among them, because King Cete- wayo baa always thought that if he once admitted them a foreign army would soon follow, and to use his own expres- sion„“eat him up.” Who Wouldn’t ho an Editor- John Wesley's Dream- John Wesley, the eminent theolo gian, once was troubled in regard to the disposition of the various sects, and the chances of each in reference to the future happiness or punishment. A dream one night transported him in its uncertain wanderings to the gates of hell. Are there any Homan Catholics here?” asked thoughtful \Vesley. “Yes,” was tbe reply. “Any Presbyterians?” “Yes,” was again answered. “Any Congregationaiists?” “Yes.” “Auy Methodists?” by way of a clincher, asked- the pious Wesley. ■Yes.” was answered to his great in dignation. In the mystic way of dreams came a sudden transition, and Wesley stood at the gates of Heaven. Im proving his opportunity he again in quired: Are there any Roman Catholics here?” ‘No.” was repfifed. ‘AuyjPresbyterians ?” •No.”" ■Any Congregationaiists?” ‘No.” ‘Any Methodists?” •No*” ’Well, then,” he asked, lost in won der, “Who are they inside?” ‘Christians!” was the jubilant an swer.—Exchange. A Dog with Yellow Fever.—Dr. Sternberg sends the following to tue National Board of Her 1th: “Exposnre of animals (two dogs, two cats, one mon key; two rabbits, three Guinea pigs, two geese, and three chickens) upon the infected bark John Welsh, Jr., for two days, was not followed bv any no- ticeable symptons except in the case of one dog. This animal returned from the ship in apparent good health, bnfc on the following day a sharp attaek of fever was developed, which continued two days; the temperature reached 107 degreess, and .there was active delirium followed by coma. The dog recovered, and more experiments must be made before an opinion can be given as to whether this attaek of fever resnlted from exposure to the yellow fever pci- One of the.beastiesand’eharBas of an editor’s life is iu his dead-heading it ou all occasions. N<? one who has never tasted of the sweets of that bliss can begin to take in its glory and its hap piness. He does $160 worth of) adver tising for a railroad, gets a pass for a year, rides $25 worth; and then he is looked upon as a dead head, or a half-blown dead-beat. He “puffs” a theater or a concert troupe. $10 worth and gets $1.00 in “complimentaries” and is thus passed in “free.” If the hall is crowded'.ho lis^begrndged the room he occupies—for if his compli mentaries were paying tickets the troupe would be so mucli in pocket. He.blows'and^puffs a church festival free to any desired extent, and does the poster printing at half rates, and rarely gets a “thank yon” for it. It goes iu as part of.hisduty as, an editor.

Not'Ashamed of_his_ Mother,—The- late John Brossley once entertained the Prince of Wales and a number of other titled’people at his magnificent house of Manor Heath. One evening- after his guests had been shown over the beauti ful place some elHhem sat conversing with him respecting his earlier years. And concerning his mother he answered thus: “Oh, my mother was a remark able woman, die was once a farm serv ant; she lived fourteen' years, in the same family; she had to milk the cows and chum^tbe hatter, and cany it to market; she had for a long time only £9 a year wages, and yet she managed to rave a nice little^am, and her leisure hours were filled up with spinning wool her mistress allowing her. a fourth . of the profits for .herself.” “Ah, said a friend who was present, “perhaps you are indebted to your good mother for some of your success in the spinning world?” “QU yes,” he replied, “un der God’s blessing I owe everything to my mother!” but by my Spirit.”* Gods work must from exposure rc tne vein NeywYorlu 'be done-only in love. Wo arecn- son .’’-Waslkvgto* Eotk WAR, BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE. There seems to be a great probability that a serious collision will soon occur between Turkey and Greece. Already there has bean skirmishing along the frontier, and the Porte is known to have massed a large army in the vicin ity of Jai.iua. If, as reported, the Sul tan has really appointed plenipotentia ries to negotiate on this question of boundary, hostilities inay be avoided; but, in any cose, it is likely that much blood will be shed before the question is definitely settled. The dispute is over a claim of Greece to an extension of her northern frontier. In race', reli- g&a- and sympathy Thessaly.and Epirus are Greek, although though they ' have been under Turkish rule. Dining the late Russo Turkish war the Thessalians revolted and, forming provisional gov ernment, proclaimed their union„with Greece. The army which Greece seat their asssisfeanee, or rather for their protection, was recalled on “representa tion from the powers.” In the Con gress of Berlin, Greece was allowed a voice, and one clause of the treaty con- tamed an agreement between the par ties to the dispute for the rectification of the frontier. To this end the other powers offered their “gord offices.” But nothing satisfactory became of tbe negotions. Circulars were issued by both governments, and a call was final- ly mado^by Greece;for a aommissjou-to settle the matter. To this the Porte objected, but the stand taken by Frame caused a change of mind at Constanti nople, and the commission was agreed to. Although it was in October that the King informed Hobert Pasha that if the commission was not agreed to ne would, inforce the claims of Greece with all the power at his command, the Porte delayed action until now, and it is evident that the seeming acquiesence is only because of the attitude of the great powers. Not only Epirus and Thessaly, but Albania and Macadodia, are strongly Greek in their sympathies, and, however the personal difficulty may be smoothed over, it is hard to see ho w unpleasant complications can be avoided in^tbo future,—Philadelphia Record.

All are at! present under the care of their maternal grandmother. Colonel Samuel Fowler, at: request of the family, has applied for the ad ministration of the estate, and funds in tended to relievo the immediate wants of the children should bo sent direct to him. It was the particular request of Gen eral lloosl, that tlielchildren should,if possible, be kept together, and ap plications^ of friends to adopt one or more of the little ones will not at pres ent therefore be considered. It is very desirable?that tjusfinteresting family of children, should bave no disruption of the family^, ties*which bind them to gether, and we hope that the generous heart of.the Southern people will not permit it, by promptly meeting the ap peal made,for raising a permanent fund for their maintenance and education. In due course permanent trustees, suggested by the family, will be ap pointed, and into their custody will be committed the fund raised. Mean while, this committee will invest mon eys coming into their hands in United States i per cent, bonds, as.fast as re ceived in amonnts of. $500 or $1,000, so that ho interest may be lost to the chil dren. Committees in other states or cities can either remit in money or make the investment at home aud for- word the bonds, as judgment^may dic tate. THE CHINESE^CttjLONY IN | The census taken in 137J showed the ! entire Chines population in New York city to be 157, all males, but the Herald says the census of 1880 wiU tell x differ- ent jfcila. Then the Chinese were scat tered here and there throughout tbe city; dow headquarters have beeu estab lished in Mott street, which has assum ed the dimensions of a good-sized colo ny. At the present time, there are in New York over three hundred Chinese laundries, fifty groceries, twenty tobac co stores, ten diugstores, six resitm- rants and a variety of other establish ments. Over seventy-five have- gone into domeside-service. In Jersey City there are three factories which employ Chinese labor alone. One of these is a shirt factory, another is a shoe factory; and the last a mannfactury for cheap cutlery. It is said that a beer saloon has been opened in H obokea. bjjtwo Chinamen. In Brooklyn tin re are about fifty laundries, vsix cigar stores and out grocery. From statistics furnished by the most r intelligent and best informed of thosei people, the population of New York has received ,nn addition of up ward of two thousand five hundred, in cluding two females. Tile Chinese-resi dents of Brooklyn number over two hun dred andjfifty and"two females. Jersey City and Hoboken boast about two hundred. About ten per cent, of tliest arrived in the city from Havanna, Un rest came over from California. Ovei uinety-firc per cent, of the total Chi nese popnlation^are.^ regularly engaged in some honorable business. For the benefit of this thrifty community three schools are maintained by private char ity.
