A MOTHER’S PRAYER.
About thirty-three years ago, one
lovely Sabbath morning, eUht young
law students were strolling along of
the tributaries one
of the Potomac river.—
I hey were going to a secluded in
th spot
* Z ro ™ to niurder the precious hours
°t that holy day in playing “whist” and
drinking wine. Each of them was a son
of a praying mother As they
were
sauntering along atij amusing each other
with idle jests, the court house bell
used for ending the Presbyterians to their
house of worship—commenc d to ring.
Although fully two miles awa\, it sound'
fed in the ears of those thoughtless youths
as plainly as if it were on the other shore
of that narrow ciet-k. Suddenly o.le of
them stepped, and told him who writt 8
this account, thereof, that he would go
no farther, but that he would retur n to
town and go to church. Then your coi>
respondent shouted to the six, who were
a short distance ahead, “Boys, boys,
come back here; George is getting re
ligion. Come, we must assist him ; we
ily must baptize him in the water.” Speed¬
we all surrounded George, and told
him that only by going with us could
save himself from a cold bath, to which,
in a caliu, soft, but easy tone of voice, he
replied :
“I know- very well that you have the
piu, sical ability to put me into th° stream
and hold me there until I am drowned,
and, if you choose, you can d■> so with¬
out my showing resistance: but before
you do it, I have a few words to say,
and then I will yield without a struggle.
You all know that I am nearly two hun¬
dred miles from home, but you do not
know-, as I now propose telling you, that
my mother is helpless and bedridden,—
I cannot remember ever having seen her
out ot her room. I am the youngest of
the family. When my father concluded
to send me here to get the benefit of our
preceptor’s instruction—he and my fath¬
er having been hfe*]on? personal friends,
and he charges nothing for my tuition—
he could scarcely prevail on my mother
to consent to my leaving her. The Strugs
gle almost cost her what little life she
possessed. At length, after many players
upon the subject, she consented and the
necessary preparations for my departure
from home Were speedi y completed.—
My motiier never spoke to me upon the
matter until the morning on which I left
for the East.. Then, after I had eaten
breakfast, she sent for me and asked if I
had everything ready and properly pack
edi I told her that all was completed,
and that I should be off’ ns soon as the
stage came for me* Kueeling beside her
bed, at her request, with her loving hand
on my head, she piayed for her youngest
born. Many and many a flight since, I
have dreamed that whole scene over.—
It is the happiest recollection in my
memory. I believe, to the day of my
death, I will be able to repeat eveiy word
of that prayer. When she ceased pray¬
ing, she spoke to me thus :
“My precious son, you know not—in¬
deed, you never can know—the agony
of a mother’s heart when parting forever
with her last born—to her sliil a babe.
When you go forth from beneath the
home of your nativity, to pursue the
study of your profession, aud of your
dear father’s choosing as well, you will
for the last time this side of the grave
look upon the face of her who loves you
as no other mortal does or can. Your
father is not able to pay your expenses
tor making visits home during the two
years ot your course of studies. I can¬
not possibly live so long as that. The
sands in the hour-glass of my feeble ex¬
istence have nearly run out. I have,
therefore, had a great struggle, for I heard
your kind, indulgent father assuring yoa
that the whole case rested with me, that,
although you might never have another
such favorable offer, nothing could pos¬
sibly induce him to act in the matter cou
trary to my wishes ; so I have yielded,—
In that distant and strange place to which
you are going, there will be no loving
mother to whom you can apply for coun¬
sel when assailed* by temptations. You
must, therefore, while a boy, learn to re¬
ly on yourself—to say ‘no,’ when urged
to do wrong. I cannot be with you. but
I will daily commit you to the care of
God, who is every where present, behold¬
ing your evil acts as well as your good
deeds. Every Sabbath morning, from
10 to 11 o’clock, I will spend the hour
in prayer for yon. Wherever you may
be during that blessed hour, when you
hear the ohurch bells ringing for the as¬
sembling of God’s people, let -your
thoughts carry you fo this chamber of
du&th, where youi dying mother wii; be

When he liad finished* he and we
were all weeping. Involuntarily we had
opened the ring; which we had formed
around him. Unmolested he had passed
out and went to church. He had stood
agamst- fearful odds and each of us ad

The Highlanders cannot abide tna
chine music in church. Two of them
happened in when the organ was very
lively. They had seated themselves in
a comfortable pew. Having tieVer been
in an Episcopal chapel, before their as¬
tonishment cannot be described on a
beautiful symphony being struck up by
the organist. At that instant a gentle
nun came to take possession of tile seat,
and civilly laid his hand on the shoulder
of one of them aud pointed to the door.
“Hout, tout J” cried the Highlander,
“take out Donald there ; he be a far bet¬
ter dancer than me.”

The Athens Chronical says s
Mr* Emory Speer, the independent
candidate, opened the campaign by a
speech at the Bank corner, on Wednes¬
day of Commencement week. He had
about oneMialf doz-m dry goods
laid together aud the oritor spoke fiotu
the top* On the stage, along with the
orator, appeared no one save Mr. Mose
Maddrey. The crowd was composed of
about 059 people. About 300 negro
w omen —most ot them having piceaninies
in their arms—about 300 negro men, a
few white people, iced lemonade dealers
and ice cream sellers were on hand, and
mingled their voices with the tears of the
speaker. The orator look like a white
spot on a blackboard. lie advocated free
liquor and a plenty of it. The effect of
his speech was to run off white voters.
The perspiration streamed from him—
the smell was immense, aud seemed at
times to intoxicate the orator.
Owing to the danger of death or dis¬
honor from tramps, the ladies of Brattle
boro, Vermont, and vicinity are said to
never go out unless armed. The tramp
question is attracting considerable atten¬
tion in other localities. In the Hartford
Couraut, a correspondent suggests that
each house be provided with lockets
r^ady for firing, each district with a bea
con ready for lightning ; and that at the
ringing of certain be!l» every man should
step, well armed, into the roads and
fields, as a means of ensuring the capture
of tramps who have committed crime.
Early County News is evidently down
on the practice of duelling. It says : ‘\Ve
learn that J. VV\ Oates and J. A. Corbitt,
two legal gentlemen of Abbeville, Ala ,
catne over to Fort Gains ou Tuesday of
last week, to shoot at eaeh other. The
Sheriff of Clay county interfered with
their arrangements, and the shooting
didn t come off. These gentlemen both
belong to that profession whose business
it is to make the worse appear the bet
ter part,’ but we doubt if either or both
j 0 f them cctild convince a jmy of sensible
1 men that there is any sense in one who
has been so injured by another as to j*s
tify the injured party in taking the life
his antagonist, placing his life
that ot the one. who lias done him the
injury. The chances are the injured
is as lirble to be killed as his antagonist,
and if there is any satisfaction in
grossly insulted or seriously injured and
then being killed for it, we have thus far
in life failed to see it.”

vigorously in the Chicago Tribune Oil

have traveled over three thousand miles

they would be pronounced good almost

one hundred and sixty miles, there

in the same neighborhood. Over one

being much straw bad'y lodged, the

wheat crop in the southern part of Min¬

wheat crop last year was forty million
bushels, but the increased* acreage this
year is so great that this to'tal will be
