SHOCKING AFFAIR.-The Nashville Gazette obtains
from passenger the following account of horrible
occurrence which took place few days ago on the
Manchester Branch Railroad:
A young man by the name of Dow Martin, who
desirous Of travelling few miles on the cars for
the novelty of the thing got on the tender, seating
himself near the fireman. After going short dis
tance the fireman demanded the fare when the young
man repIjed that he did not have it. The fireman
then ordered him to jump off, which he did, falling
on the track, two locomotives passing over him,
breaking both thighs, his in three PAGES, trac
turing his skull and taking of the little finger
his left hand. Dr. A. NJ. Holt, of Tullahoma, was
called to his assistance, and did all in his power.
When our informant left. he appeared to be doing
well, aud it is thought will recover.

PROBLEM.

The number of persons who are now
focking from the North to Richmond and
other Southern towns, in search of employ
ment, exciteS the apprehension that there
will be much suffering this winter in conse-
quence of the over supply of laborers IN
every department of business. We have
native mechanics and artizans enough to
meet the demand of our people, and as ours
is an agricultural rather than manufacture
ing portion of the country, and as the work
on farms and plantations is performed al,
most exclusively by negroes, there is nc
call for this influx of laborers from abroad
Every day we receive applications for ale
from persons, chiefly from the North, whC
came here seeking work, and finding none
are compelled to beg. Who can tell us wha
is best to be done with and for them?
CoMrasted with the privations and desti
tuition of these strangers, nearly all of then
coming from the non-slaveholding States
we find our colored population in happy un
consciousness of the change in the times
with comfortable clothing, abundance of food
and an unlimited supply of fuel.

ment fund were very happy and well timed.
May the seed thus sown, yield an abundant
harvest.
The band again discoursed sweet music,
and the President presented to the au-
dience the Rev. John E. Edwards of the
Methodist church, gentleman we'll known
in this community and admired wherever
known for his eloquence and piety. Mr.. Ed
wards claimed the privilege, as one OF the
impromptu speakers, of exceeding the limit
prescribed for the orations. He had long
been friend of Christian Associations, and
believed, that they had already accomplish
ed good work in removing those sectarian
preiudices which had so long divided the
Christian church. This organization afford
ed broad platform on which every Chris
tian might stand and be co-worker with his
brother of every denomination. He alluded
to the nature of the festivities on this occa-
sion as unique, and destined to inaugurate
new era in social entertainments. There
was every enjoyment required by the cult
waited intellect and taste, without the revel-
ing by night and the intoxicating bowl. His
remarks in regard to the innocent enjoy
ments of Christian and the benefits result
ING from the free intercourse between the
various denominations of Christians, were
characterized by "a degree of liberality which
could scarcely be expected from a sect which
proscribes ten-pinS as an amusement Tor III
ministers. The reverend gentleman wa'
quite facetious at times and was greeted witt
frequent rounds of applause.
The President announced that an interva
of thirty minutes would be devoted to. i'm
promptu addresses. Drs. Hoge, Read ant
Moore, of the Presbyterian church, (Old ant
New School, were vociferously called for b,
t the audience and respectively responded il
3 addresses characterized by wit and humor
At this interesting period, a message wa
received from the lower hall, that "suppe

it would not have been possible for me to
have found a seat. At one end of the church
there is double gallery, one above the
other, and another rises just behind the
pulpit-all of which were filled to overflow

aisles, and chairs where benches could not
be, yet hundreds went away without obtain
ing admittance.

of those private Inequalities and meetings

priety forbid8 any farther allusion to. Mucl

STREPSIADES---A REPRESENTA-
TIVE MAN.

AS an illustration Of the truth that "there
is nothing new under the sum-" we were
reading the other day one of the dialogues
of the old Greek poet, tie clouds Of Arlsto-
phanes when We discovered, or fancied that
we discovered representative manin Strep-
SHADES who, like many in our day, was anx-
ious to be relieved Of his heavy pecuniary
embarrassments; and hence he prays that
Socrates would come down from the clouds,
and teach him those fine things he was IN
quest Of
"Bhat fine thngs2" asked Socrates
Sweepstakes replied, "A new receipt
For sending off my creditors, and iollng them
BY the art logical; for you shall know
BY debts. pawn, pledges, usures, executions
nm rackt and rent in tatters.
And then he tells Socrates to name his own
price and he will pay him to the last drachm,
"But so you'll enter me amongst your scholars
And tutor me like them To blk my creditors
The translation is Cumberland's, and
though not exactly literal, it retains the spi-
rit Of the original, and shows that in olden
times, as we'll as now, the art OF bilking
creditors was studied and practsed; and no
doubt there are many who like Sweepstakes,
are ready to pay any price for ncrrecctpt
by which they can more elfectually escape
the payment of their debts. And hence the
frequent resort to ''the art logical, and the
art LEGAL, and the art evasive,-often cost
inc more in the sequel, than to have met the
obligation IN full when it was due.
But Sweepstakes, as representative man,
has large class of imtators in those who
inconsiderately defer the claims against
them to an indefinite future-not seeming
to cons.e Il The inconvenience or the trouble
to which their creditors are subjected by
their delay. Nor does such delay affect one
alone. The creditor of A. is often the debtor
of B. C. and D., and they cannot be paid
till A. pays him. So long Therefore as A.
fails of meeting his obligations, he inficts
an injury not only upon his immediate Gre
ditor, but upon others with whom he is as
ISOLATED in the ordinary transactions of life
and these upon others in still wider
circle.
This example of a representative man is
given, not that his course may be initiated
but ayoided-not excepting those who are
in arrears for the Central Presbyterian.

PRAYER FOR RULERS.

Now that Congress has commenced an
other session, and that many of the State
Legislatures have just convened, it is cape
cially incumbent on ministers in their public
services and on all Christians in their private
devotions to remember the Apostolic injunc-
ton, that prayers should be made ''for all
that are in authority"

THE SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW
The publisher of this work, E. II. Britton,
Esq, has issued a card in response to the
inquiries whether it is 'dead'' or suspend
ed''-stating in effect that he has already
sustained very heavy losses by the failure
of subscribers to pay; and giving a list by
States of the indebtedness to the establish
ment amounting to S9,050-and if the pa
irons now indebted could be prevailed upon
to pay promptly, but half the amount of
their indebtedness, the publication of the
Review would instantly be resumed.
In commenting upon this card we need
only say that the publisher of this Quarter
ly has told tale every word of which we
can credit from our own experience of the
and failure of subscribers to
pay their bills as they become due. The
many dcfunct publications, literary, political,
and religious, all over the South, are to be
lscrbed to this very cause. And there is /.
perhaps not a solitary one that survives
which yields an adequate compensation for
he time and talent, and expenses attending
Is management. Of those that were and
ne not, their brief epitaph may thus be .
of starvation-its delin-
Iuent subscribers having failed to supply in
line, the necessary support"

Vol. Folio.

A liberal friend of the Seminary in New
York city has given 1925, for the purpose
of increasing the Library. tits confidently
believed the Board will direct the invest
ment of this and apply its annual proceeds
according to the wish of the Donor.
These very liberal donations are thank
fully received; and while this public ac-
acknowledgements is due to the Donors, it is
also made, with the hope of exciting a
praiseworthy disposition to similar work
in the hearts of others. The Synods, in de-
termining four years since to raise $4,000
for the Seminary, it is understood, intended
to appropriate $4,000 as library fund
Now may not other perlons be found in our
Synods who will initiate the liberality of
these donors-ether by sending books-or
handsome contributions to the library fund?
With an annual income of two or three hum
dred dollars for the increase of the library,
much-needed and valuable accessions could
be made every year. For its size, it is well
deemed one of the best libraries in the land,
but if we wish to have a real first class
Seminary, we ought by all means to have a
first class library.

LETTER ON REVEALS.

We recommend to the attention of every
pious reader the copious extract which we
publish this week from the Pastoral letter

vention of Synod at Pittsburg. The subject
is the most important which can engage the
thoughts and prayers of the people of God.

CHEAP PAPERS.-A number of religious
periodicals, of different denomination, have
tried the cdeap paper experiment, and find
that it does not pay. One of these, the
Pittsburg Organ of the Associate Reformed
Church. announces in its last issue its
"change of terms" adding one-third to its
former price, and giving as one of their
reasons for so doing, that "the costs of pub
LEGATION have gradually increased, until now
the price Of the article of paper is, at least,
one half more than when they first COM
menced publishing; and the other heavier
items of expenditure have increased in the
same ratio" And what is true Of Pittsburg
is true of other places where religious pa
pers are issued.

and every spear of Grass, in countless
thousands, is laden with every form and
tint of beauty, and many of them are
dropping and waving in the gentle breeze
as they did under the burden of their
seeds. And any one Of them, taken IN

challenge the admiration of child and
elicit the profound contemplation of the
sage.
The gentle waves of Derby Pond are
lulled to quiet rest under a sheet of ice !;
and the cold of hast night froze over the
upper part of Lake Memphremagog, so
that a couple of girls crossed the lake to
the Memphremagog House at Newport
this morning where they had crossed
yesterday in canoe. This was temerity.
But the usual test of the strength Of the

piled by the waggish Oracle of the Mem
