One of my most pleasant memories of early Sabbath-school days is of a lad who for a short time was my pupil. My acquaintance with him began thus: Be ginning in the country for tbe summer, the first Sunday of my stay I went to a different church from that attended by the family with whom I sojourned.— We came from a distance and in the same carriage. Kncwing it was commu" nion at the church which my friend attended, to save them trouble of calling for me after the morning service, I walk ed to a place where the horse and wagon were fastened under an elm-tee behind the church, intending to sit there until they should join me. Only two other vehicles were there, in one of which sat a boy whom I observed to be assidu ously driving off flies from Ihe horse, saying as he did so, “Poor Ned ? poor Ned ? next Sunday we’ll have anew net. Pa won’t forget to buy one this week, cause I 11 help him to remember.” His back was toward me so be ivas unaware of attracting me and I resolved upon further acquaintance. I walked back and forth a few times before ilaktng my seat in the wagon, aud Aoou had opportunity to obseive tho pleasing face and gentle mar, ly bearing of the little fellow.— Pleasantly 1 said, — “Your horse has a kind little master,! perceive.” “That’s because father and mother think so much of Ned,”replieu the boy. modestly. “Besides, I don’t like to have him so tormented by the flies.— You see he has stood it all the time I was at church, and now I have come to help him.” “Then you were at church during the service.” “O yes, ma’am, and I went to Sun day-school at nine o’clock.” “I should think you would be tiled being confined so long. Why not run about a little ? Wouldn't you like to ?” “Yes, ma’am; but then poor Ned would be so pestered. I’d rather not go/; “Then your mother did not Did you to?” “No ma’am ; but I’d feel better to do so.” Kind little fellow ! I said to myself ; and then asked.— “IV hat ata yon gainer tn tint noon ?” •‘I am going to read to build Sam* uel.” “That will keep you confined too.” “Yes, but I’ll have my dinner first ana a little time to run about iu the orchard, too.” “Suppose you let me go in your place?,/ “o,but I promised,” he said quick ! y- --“I could excuse you in some way.” “Please ma’am, I don’t see how, be/ cause I’m not sick.” “But why be so particular, long as Sam. was neglected V* “I can’t explain it very well,ma’am.” replied the boy, looking a little troubled —perhaps feeling disappointed i 1 his new friend, who seemed apprently desi rous to lend him astray. —“I can’t ex plain it, but it wouldn’t be me reading to him. Besides, he would be disap> pointed not to see me but that wouldn’t be the worst of it.” “What then would be the worst of it?” “Well ma’am, as you mo I will tell you what my father and mother taught me, —that to break my promise even in a small thing, is a sin, and every sin leaves a scar upon the soul.” How true tho word about the “seer on the soul !” Yes, every sin, leaves a disfiguring mark, as unsightly to the eye of God as a scar upou the face would appear to us. The Bible. Tn the hurry of life it would be well for us to take the Bible as a balance wheel to all our actions. This book that we can possibley have of future ex istence. should find not only a place in ever library but should be the day book from which we reckon the account we are to make to our common Father God. It ma ters not what may be our profession, cr what may be our circ irn stanccs in life. The Bible comes iu as the center of our’hopes and the polar star of onr destiny —the bright un changed cynosure to gird anxious travellen through the arid desert of this worlds waste, to the peaceful and bappy realms of immortality. To neg lect the Bible, to fail to appropriate its golden truths, is to court darkness to our souls and overspread all our future hopes wilh gloomy despair —it is to reject the only panacea to human woes. If the Bible in any sense were to in trude a hindrance to wurldly success aod real solid enjoyment, then might human reason interpose an argument against the Bible as impo r ing principles that are calculated to detract from the acme of human happiness* But such is not the case, as is clearly demonstrat ed by the observation and experience of the wise and good of this and every age- If pure morality—if antagonism to sin—if principles of honesty and justico —if the cherishing of virtue,faith,hope and charity with every other grace that cau possibly adorn human charac ter, be obstructions in the way of hap a piness, then the Bible makes undue cx> action upon the devotees of religion,and is unworthy of their patronage. The Grangers estimate the surplus wheat this season at 700 tons. *• Truth Conquers All Things.” A Picture of Sooth Carolina Horrors. You have doubtless read and heard ot the Hamburg horror. That burg ia some 25 or 30 miles from us,but as it is just opposite tbe river from Augusta, we get news very quick. It seeui3 as if the North generally is so much more attached to the African titan to the Anglo saxon race,that it will believe everything for tbe former, and everyth fag against the latter. A white man can scarce pass through Hamburg without insults from the b'ack occupants. Have you seen the awful story of Mr. Prescott’s child beiugoutraged by a negro? Mr. Prescott is a most estimable young man, and has a lovely wife, lie had gone on to the Centennial. His little daughter six years old, was playing near an old woman, who was picking some greens The child was missed, when tho woman, a black one, went to 1c ok for her. The demon had accomplished bis fiendish attack. Our town is in a state of great alarm. Gtneral Butler’s home, since his house w T as burned two years ago the black desperado, Ned Tennant. The negroes have hired one of their color to kill Gen. Butler, and the} 7 swear that if another negro is injured in any way they will open the war, that every house in the town shall be burned, and the women and children be assassinated. This last is to be the work of the women who are more malicious than the men I spent last week with my children in tow'n. My son has beeu elected by ac clamation captain of the volunteer corps in that place. He told me that it had been discovered by a spy that the women were all the week spinning to make the fire balls—had wound them, and by contribution had procured kerosene to saturate them with ; indeed, the inhabi tants are walking over a volcano, the seething and pent up fires of which may at any time burst forth and leave in ashes and desolation their once happy and thriving town ; is it not frightful ?

He took his wife to the Ce./ennial, lives like a prince, and dues it all on S6OO a year, and so it is with the Radical officials. They are getting rich while the people are poorer and poorer every day. The grocers in town now keep no meat; the people tire too poor to afford it; we have u-ed almost no meat this summer but have a garden with plenty of vegetables plenty of milk, aud 1 am a a pretty good band at bread making. So God is blessing us in this re spect just now. — Cor. New York World. A Hindoo Legend. Long ag 0 we came upon an anecdote in Castellan, the substance of wh'ch, as far as we remember, is this : The li brary of tho Indian Kings was compos ed of so many volumees that a thous and camels were necessary to remove it. But odcq on a time a certain Prince who loved reading very much, and oth er pleasures called a Brahmin to him and said : “Books are good, O Brah min, even as women are good, yet sure ly of both these goods a Prince may have too many; and then, 0 Brahmin which of these two vexations is sorest to princely flesh it were hard to say; but as to the books, O Brahmin squeeze ’em !” The Brahmin understanding well, what the order “squeeze ’em,” meant (for Le was a book man himself, and knew that as there goes much wa ter and little flavor to the making of a big pumkin, there many words and few thoughts to the making of very big book), set to work aided by many scribes and when the essence of them had been extracted it was found that ten camels could carry it within ruf fling a hair. And therefore the Brahmin was appointed “Grand Squeezer” of the realm. Ages after this, another Prince who loved reading much and other pleasures a great deal more, called the Giand Squeezer of his time and said. “Thy life depends upon the measure of thy “Sque zing.”” Therefore the Grand Squeezer in fear and trembling set to work and squeezed and squeezed until the whole library* be*- came at last a load that a foal woud have laughed at, for it consisted of but’ one book, a tiny volume containing lour maxims, xet the wisdom in the last library was the wisdom of the first. If the reports we read as to tho suc cess met with growing grares at the south are corrcect a source of industry is open to the people which may almost rival cotton growing being less capital at the outset.

Washington first oonceived it and became the first President of the Pote ncy company. The illustrious Gen.— Sanson Barnard, Secretary of war of Louis Phillippe and a staff officer of Napolen, survey the route ab ut 1817. I he canal has been completed to the coal field at Cumberlaud, and sends coal to Wasington City for al out fifty cents a ton tooils. It will cost to run it over the mountaines $50,000,000, with very doubtful probabilities of securing water enough to run the barges at that great hei fc h, and effect the monstrous lockages the last performance in this direction is the private enterprise of Seuator Hen ry Davis He hascleand out the channel of the North Branch of the Potomac, a narrow, rook.,strewn torrent, which rises at the Fairfax Stone, and is often nearly a dry bed- This river runs along thesotheru base of the Backbone Moun tain, whose scraps are covered with large timber. Davis hoped to make this stream carry off the logs he should feel on the moutains,where he has bought a vast tract of timber—'rom 30,000 to 50,000 acres, at less than two dollajs an acre—but tho water has not been suffeient to fully carry out his objects.— Philadelphia Tines. ■ ►— - Utilizing Watermelon!*. The editor of the Maryland Farmer says ho has been making his surplus watermelons int> molassns by simply peeling off the outer rind preesing out thejuic in a cider press and then evap orating as one would evaporate the juice of sorghum or sugar cane Afte%that he says: “We can give our readers another useful hint for utilizing their surplus watermelons. It is this: Last year we saw some Virginia farmers feed water melons to their milk cows, when they came up at night with good effect, by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of their milk.” Writing on the same subject the ed itor of (he Florida x\griculturist says : Watermelons make a most excellent "gfoftSS fft- away-£!> ari too anc ~ P ... u.tiog, Why extract the juice from the sweet portion and convert it into vinegar ?

If we wish our State to prosper we must turn our attention to those little articles aud live within our selvs. There are plenty of melons still left toUrn into vinegar Do not let anoth eent go out of the State for vinegar. Yesterday morning a careless mason dropped a half brick from the second story of a builbing out on Jefferson etreet which he was at work. Leaning over the wall and glancing downward, he dicov ered a respectable citizen, with his silk hat scrunched over his eyes and ears, raising from a recumbent pasture- The mason, in tones of some apprehension; asked : “Did that brick hit anyone down there?” The citizen with great difficulty extricating himself from the glove fitting extinguisher into which his hat had beeo transformed, replied, with considerable wrath: “Yes, sir, it did; it hit me,” “ That’s right,” exclaimed the mason, in accents of undisguised admira tion; “noble man ! I would rather have wasted a thousand bricks than have had you tell me a lie about it.“ This inci dent has a oeutennial moral, and a large reward is offerd to anyone who will discover what it is-— Hawkeyc. Don’t Burry Girls. —(Joe of the rycing evils of these times is the tendency and disposition of girls to get through girlhood hurriedly and get into woman hood, or rather into young ladyhood, without waiting to enjoy the sweet and beautiful season of girlhood. Speaking on this point,Bishop Morris says : “Wait patiently, my children, through the whole limit of your girlhood. Go not after womanhood ; let it come to you. Keep out of public view. Cultivate retirement and modesty. The cares and responsibilities of life will come soon enough. JWhen they come you will meet them, I t-ust as true women should - Bnt oh! be not so unwise as to throw away your girlhood. Rob not yourselves of this beutitul season, which, wisely spent, will brighten all your future life.

Georgia Voting Quliiieatioug. Mr. Iledfield notices the Let that “the Democrats of Georgia got all the power and passed a series of laws to en trench themselves, the most effective —even beating the efficient“peace law” of A'abama—is the tax law, by which every voter (every negro, ceitaiuly), must pay his previous taxes before he cau vote. “In this way between thirty and for ty thousand blacks r re virtually disfran* ctaised. Ido not discuss the theory of the measure, or the justice of requiring a tax receipt frem a voter as a condition precedent to his voting, but merely state the fact.” The Telegraph has refuted this slan der at least twenty times, but it seems impossible to get a hearing on this sub' ject. Let us then ouce more demand in the name of truth that the Cincin nati Commercial Advertiser, or Mr. iledfield, or, failing these somebo dy else will for once permit plain old facts to be printed in the Northern States. 1. Ihe Democrats of Georgia have added not a single thing to the qualifica tions of voters since they have "got all | the poicer .” U, These tax qualifications are not the result of “ series of laics ” passed by the Democrats, or by arybody else but of a provision of the State Constitu tion, framed and adopted in 1868 by a convention comprehending a large ma> jority of Radical delegates. See arti de 2 : _ “Every male person born in the Luited States,and every person who has been naturalized, eto * * who shall have resided cn this State six months next preceding the election,and shall have resided thirty in the county in which he offers to vote, and shall have paid all taxes which may been required of him. aad which he may have had an opportunity of pay ing. agreeable to taw, for' the year next pieceding the election,” eto etc. Now if any paper which has been in strumental in circulating the oft exploded slander will only make the foregoing statement in their own words we shall be satisfied. The demand that voters shall pay their taxes is a mniicd ahu Euslctea by' -Radicals in the year 1868, when * they had got all the power f and not by the Democrats who found the law as it stands and have not changed it, and could net change it. But it is good, righteous and whole some law, no matter who made it. It is an outrage on all justice and good gov ernment to permit ay man.to vote who refuses to pay so much as his dollar of pulp tax towards the expenses of govern ment. A man who would attepnt to vote without paying that tax must have passed beyond blushing for himself if he does not feel as mean as a chiken thief. Race Between a Deer ami a Lo comotive. An exciting scene took place in the long show shed this side of the summit As the eastern bound freight train had just emerged from the tunnel the en gineer saw a deer some way ahead on the track. The whistle began scream ing and then followed a highly exciting scene, There was no aliernative for the pursued and timid animal but to keep straight, on down the gloomy cav ern formed narrow race track and the flitting openings through which the gleaming light entered added to the wildness of the adventure. For over half a mile the engine rushed onward toward its victim. For a time the re sult seemed almost certain ; the pursu ers gained steadily on the pursued.— The deer never left the tracks, but sped onward as straight as an arrow. The game was almost iu the clutch of the iron* horse, and in a few moments would have laid mangled beneath the wheels, brakes were loosened and full steam ap plied. when just ahead a small opening caused by last winter’s heavy snow, was seen by the frightened animal. Like a dart it shot through it and ran up the sleep side of the rocky mountain, while a shout of good natured disappoints ment went up from the crew of the train.— Republican. “Was it Our Jesus?”—A little three-year old girl stood at the window one pleasant Sabbath watching for pa pa, who was at church.
