NODKIIX MEETIN ROUE.
Howdy. Davy! light an' hitch; that's no one home
but me;
Thar aint a mau livin', air, l*d aooner like ter
m;
For Nance and Llddy’a gone ter aeo a nick man
on the hill.
An’ Hiram’a gone to get hia griat at Jaaon Turn
er’a mill.
I was in town laa* Sunday, an* my heart an’on*
agreed
To go to meetln’—-ef you’ll wait I’ll tell you what
I Keed.
The holla wor tollin’ lively on the balmy mornlu*
air.
An’ folk# wor in a harry, like the raahin’ to a
fair.
The meetin’ houae waa built ov atone, the steeple
pinted high,
The winders they wor painted all the colors of
the aky;
An* runnin’ up the steeple waa a great long light
nln’ rod—
I kinder thought the members lacked confidence
is God.
The big bell sorter hushed hltself, and then hit
ruug some more.
An’ people cum iu carriages au’ got out at the
door;
The wimmin fixed thar dresses like they meant
to make a call,
Thar face* showed they warn’t a thiukiu’ ov their
souls at ail.
Well. Davy, thar I stood au' thought— ’twaa
wicked I suppose—
Some go to church to cloae thar eyes, au' some to
eye thar cloae;
I overheard old Missus Swell to Missus Steb
bins say,
“My darter Becky a dress warn’t done—she won t
be here to-day.”
I stood thar hesitatin’ like what sort ov move to
make;
I felt that I ahould go inside for my salvation's
sake;
I started meekly in the house; I knew it warn’t
no harm.
With my old broad-brim hat in bun’ and jeans
coot on my arm.
I went along 'bout half-way up the velvet-carpet
°iaen an’ wimruin ahut thargrtes, an’ they
Jfcagln to smile;
\3feed one open just a bit; went in an’ pulled it
' to.
When Brown, the banker, riz an' said, “This ere’s
a rented pew.”
I got out of hia “rented pew” an' sot down near
the door.
A fine dressed stranger—he cum in—the mem
bers didn’t wait’
But every feller jumped at him, au’ opened wide
his gate.
The parson riz an' ra sed his han't, with oold an’
haughty air,
An* everybody in the house stood up an’ heard
his prayer.
I don't know how it is with them— somehow I al
ways feel
I'm doin’ God injustice when I get too proud to
kneel.
Then all sot down an’stared about; then st the
parson’s face.
While he put on his specs au’ said, “Let's sing
Amazin’ Grace.”
An organ busted loose up stairs—the music hit
was gay,
Hit tickled them as couldn't sing, an’ them wot
had to pay.
The magic quit, the parson riz—they passed the
hats rouu next.
Ah, when the deekins got them down—the par
son tuck his text.
He preached about two hours 'bout the Faith in
God to keep;
The wiminin folks wor noddin' while tbar hus
bands wor asleep.
One gal sed to another. “Have you seen my beau
to-day?”
She nod her head and then say back, “The party
hit was gay.”
One whispered loud enough behind her fan forme
to hear,
“That bonnet Sofy Tag's got on is ouo she had
last year.”
The parson quit and then sot down—the organ
played agin.
I thought ef that was servin’ God, the tunes they
played was thin;
I have hearn the band at circuses jest play the
•elf-same air.
The parson, when the orgiu quit, dismissed them
all with prayer.
Now, Davy, ef the angels seed what I did, I be
lieve
Thar warn’t a one among ’em all but what lat Ted
in thar sleeve;
For God don’t smile on Christians who his bless
ings will abuse;
He hain’t no use fur orgius, an’He den't like
rented pews.
He rings no bells to tell’em that the Sabbath's
come once more;
The angela have n carriages to drive up to His
door.
Such Christians might as will look up to God,
an’ sweetly smile
An’ say, “I send my soul, dear Lord; I'm cornin’
arter a while.’’
Our Master up in Heaven, Davy; sees—hears
every thing.
He likes to see His children kueel—an’ loves to
hear ’em sing;
For wharHe lives the angels sing an’ Christiana
get their dues.
liis music costs Him nothin’ and He has no
rented pews.
Thar ain't no use o’ foolin’ long the road down
to the grave;
Thar ia no way o’ dodgin’ when you’ve got yer
aoui to save.
Fins churches, orgins, carriages, clothes, rented
pews an' •♦pelf.”
Don’t count that day—it lays between yer Maker an*
ye reelf.

A Hunter Killed bv Panthers.—A
most remarkable eireumstauce is
chronicled in Hamilton, Madison
county, the truth of which has been
vouched for by reliable parties.
In the wilderness of this county
there lived a sturdy countryman
named John Dunniug, with his fam
ily, in a rude hut of his own construc
tion. One day early last week Dun
ning saw a bear passing near his
home; whereupon he immediately
prepared himself with a rifle and
hunting-knife, and, with his dog,
started in pursuit of Bruin. Night
came on and he did not return. His
wife, becoming alarmed at his ab
sence, sent to a neighboring settle
ment and enlisted the aid of a couple
of men, who plunged into the wilder
ness to discover the missing man.
After a most fatiguing search, last
ing several hours, they came upon
the mangled remainsof Dunning and
his dog, while near them lay three
dead panthers. Two of them, young
ones, bore marks of having been
shot by Dunning, while the mother
met her death while fighting Dun
ning, who had plunged his hunting
knife into her vital parts, where it
was found by the searchers. Dun
ning. while following the bear, had
probably been intercepted by these
more voracious animals, and met his
death while protecting his person
from the gnashing jaws of the mo
ther panther, whose young ones he
had slain.— Elmira (Jr. Y.) Advertiser.
Irani the A T . T. Daily Graphic (Rep.),
Dec. 14.]
The action of the Louisiana re
turning board in refusing to answer
the questions of the House Commit
tee may be justified on technical
grounds. But „nere is no question
that in the present temper of the
public mind, it was unwise and un
politic. It at once raises the suspi
cion that these gentlemen have some
thing they want to hide from the
public knowledge. When fonr men
set their backs squarely against a
closed door, refusing to tell what it
contains or to open it, people natu
ially forget all questions of legality
and dignity,and conclude that a skel
eton is hid inside. What the people
of both parties want, is the simple
truth about this election business.
If Mr. Hayes Is fairly elected the
facts will show It, and any attempt,
under any plea whatever, to hide the
facts from the public knowledge,
will only deepen the shadow of sus
picion under which he will enter on
nis great office, and increase the diffi
culties of his arduous position.
Neither party can now afford to do
anything that has not the appear
ance of being fair and above board.
—The Oglethorpe Echo bays: The wages
of laborers for next year have been per
ceptibly reduced, owtng to the distressing
hard times and great scarcity of mosey.
Hands that last year were paid ten dollars
per month are now glad to procure work
at eight dollars.

THE SUN.
1877. NEW YORK. 1877.
The different editions of The Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun
days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous ad
vocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of statesmanship, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military vio
lence. It will endeavor to supply its readers—a
body not now far from a million souls—with the
most careful, complete and trustworthy accounts
of current events, and will employ for this pur
pose a numerous and carefully selected staff of
reporters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate and
fearless; and it will doubtless continue to de
serve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive
by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor
to merit the confidence of the public by defend
ing the rights of the people against the encroach
ments of unjnstified power.
The price of the Daily Sun will be 65 cents a
month or $6.50 a year, post-paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20 a
year, post-paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of M broad col
umns, will be furnished during 187 T at the rate
of $1 a year, post-paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
firevious rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
ndividual subscribers without the necessity of
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our circu
lation, we shall be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends us ten or more subscrib
ers from one place will be entitled to one copy of
the paper for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expenses of paper
and printing are barely repaid; and. considering
the size of the sheet and the quality of its con
tents. we are confident the people will consider
The Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper pub
lished in the world, and we trust also oi e of the
very best.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: *
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
ami surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, iu
which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly ene of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover tho cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate.

This incomparable preparation for the ITairls

It prevents the Hair from filling off, producing

The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
tho scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored rny hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
