Schell, on the Union Poiut road. On a place belonging to Mr. C. A. Da vis, just off the Georgia railroad there lives a negro man named Joe Foster. He has a boy about fifteen years old, and this boj came near being killed on last Sunday. On an adjoining place lives a nerro girl about eighteen years old, named Amanda Davis, and “was this girl who did the shooting. On Sunday about noon the boy c-une in front ot Amanda’s home, and pulling out an old pistol, asked her where her gun was. The girl replied that it was in the house but that she would “fetch it." The boy insisted that she should bring it, and the grl went into the house and quickly retained with an"old gun. When she came out the boy said (o Amanda :. ’’Sight me 1" No sooner had be Mid this than the girl raised the gnn, look deliberate aim and pulled the trigger. There was a deafening report and the boy fell,, to the ground, with the light side of his head almost torn away by the load ot shot. Bis right eye was shot almost entirely out, and a big bole was put in the side of his bead. He was carr.ed to the home ot bis father and physician* sent tor. Though the wonnd was a.atrious one, it is thought he will re cover. The gir! was arrested by Sheriff English and brought to Greensboro. A commit ment triai was held before Justice W. G. Durham on Monday last. There being no evidence to show that the girl intended to hart the boy, she was discharged from custody. The girl said she did not think the gnn was loaded.

JSfiZt .C'SJ**-w.Ak MUCH IN LITTLE, OR AN OCEAN IN A CUP. Emerson, some years ago, was slowly walking through the immense libraiy of the British Museum, with its more than a m llion and a half of volumes, observing the books as he went. Seeing on the Bltelf Plato’s works in three volumes, he re mark- d, “Tust work contains them all." Of course, this must be taken with consid erable abatement. But no can any with out any abatement, that the most wonder ful consideration of truth to be found in all the literature of all tlie ages, is seen in the words of our Lord, in Matthew xxii., 87, 40: ‘’Thou sualt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy sou), and with all thy ntiud. This is the flrst, and great commandment The second is likewise unto it, namely, thou shalt love tby neighbor aa tbyse f. On these two commandments nang ali the law and the prophets ” Notice, *tis not on the first alone, nor on the second alone, but on the two together, hang all the laws of the Christian life A child can commit to memory these four vers-s iu half an hour A man, putting forth daily prayerful effort, is vety fortu nate If, making constant progress, he comes pretty near fully keeping these two commandments in a half century—getting nearer and nearer every day. He will still need to constantly battle in "the fountain filled with blood." Great nnd fatal mistakes are someiim- s made tight here. Oil the one band, multitude* have left out the second great command ment, and livid in clois’ered cells—as though the whole of religion consisted in acts of worship. That is nullifying the law of love to our neighbor. On the other hand, many lay the whole stress upon kind deeds to our neighbors nnd entirely ignore tlie first and greatest commandment—i. e., what is due to God. ’Tis as though two perrons described tlie visible heavens; the one omitting the sun; the other, the ntoon. Both must be brought in to make a correct description of the heavens. To love God supremely, and our neiglitior as ourselves, we Died a reconstruction of the inner man by the Spirit of God; for whuse aid if we usk, we sltall receive. Distinctly recog nizing that nn attempt to keep one only of these- commandments as though ’ta’ere the whole of duty, is like a bird trying to fly with only one wing. We remark that many just aud beautiful things have been said about a life of doing good—a life like that of the Sj otiess One. "Happy is the- person who has a heart at leisure from himself, to soothe and sympathise.” Buskin has finely said, “Vr cate children of God in proportion a- we are in sympa thy with thosu around us, and in propor tion as we bear with one another.” And again, "Consider yourself as grow ing in grscs, as you grow io patience and in helpfulness.” * The following selection is appropriate: “George W. Childs, the Pniladelphia philanthropist, concludes an interesting article in the current LippincoU’a with tlie following sentiments, which he exempli fied during bis very useful life. If asked what, as the result of my expe rience, is the greatest pleasure in life, I Should say doing good to others. Not a strikingly original remark', perhaps; but seemingly the most difficult thing in the world is to fie prosperous and generous at the same time. During tlie war, I asked a very rich man to contribute some- money to a certain relief fund. He shook his head. "Childs,” he said, “1 can’t give you anything. I have worked too hard for my money." Tbatisjnst it. Being generous grows on one, just as being mean does. The disposition to give and be kiud to others, should be inculcated and fostered in children. It seems to me that is the way to improve the world, and make happy the people who are in it.” SPIRITUAL GIFTS. We ought, if rightly minded, to rejoice io the exuberauce and variety of the spir itual gifts possessed by Christians, just as we delight in the rich variety ot nature.or the Word of God. There are many lines of thought ot religion, many lorms which practical aud personal piety- takes, al though, of coarse, they are all animated by the same essential principles. -St. John and 8t Paul are both equally devoted to the cause and person of our Lord,’ yet no two men ever existed who manifested this devotion in shapes more different. Both these members held to the Head by a liv ing anion, but they discharged for the Head functions altogether different- Let us not conceive of all genuine religion as moving in one groove ot ft-e’ing and prac tice, and refuse to acknowledge any mail m a Christian because he does not run up on our own particular groove. It seems to be God’s plan aud purpose that eacb particular Christian should exhibit, in the peculiarity of his c ; rcumstsnces, educa tion, moral temperament, and menial en dowments, anew specimen of . redeeming love and grace.
