Mob Law in Texas--A Methodist
Conference broken up and
Dispersed.

In some of our religious exchanges. and
indeed in one or two secular papers, we have
seen reports that body of preachers, re-
Gently holding a conference at Timber Creek,
Fannin county, Texas, at which Bishop
james presided, had been dispersed by a
mob, but we hoped that the report was either
untrue or greatly exaggerated. Further in
formation on the subject, however, leaves no
doubt that at least nothing more than the
truth has been told respecting the natter
The conference was composed, as is uniform
ly the case, of the regularly ordained timer
ant ministers laboring within given region,
their only object being to preach the Gospel.
But these ministers belonged not to the NJ.
Z. Church, South, but, to the M. f. Church
North, and the slave holders OF Fannin county
resolved that their presence should not be
tolerated. They therefore appointed vigil
ance committee of fifty to wait upon them
and warn them not to prosecute further the
business of the conference and to order their
departure from the county, on pain of having
lynch law applied to them. The following
appears to be fair statement Of the way in
which these gentlemen performed their mis-
sion:-
"On the Sabbath, the great Gay of the
Conference, Bishop james was in the pulpit,
and the Introductory services were in prog
ress, when, from the windows of the church,
far away on the level plain, might be seen
some horsemen approaching. The house
was about two thirds full when they knelt in
prayer; on arising, the horsemen had arrived
tied their horses, and crowded into every open
place in the house. As the Bishop arose to
announce his text, the leader of the mob,
about three feet from the Bishop before him,
exclaimed: 81 have some business, Sir,
rather unpleasant to me- and more so to you;
we have resolved in public meeting that you
shall not preach or hold meetings in these
regions" The Bishop replied that it was
not his place to decline to preach, it was for
the society living there and owning the house
to decide whether it could be occupied that
morning according to appointment, and un-
less the trustees or proper authorities forbade
him, he must preach. The leader of the mob
replied threateningly, declaring that in all
that region Methodist societies should no
longer be tolerated. The firmness of Bishop
james enabled him to finish his Sermon
The Conference we understand, resolved to
disperse rather than provoke such breach
Of the peace.--N. Y Commercial.

GIVE GOT ORDERS NOT TO CO." I've got
orders, positive orders, not to go there; or
ders that dare not disobey," said youth,
who was being tempted to smoking and
gambling saloon.
"Come, don't be so oacomanish-come along
like man." shouted the youths. .7.
"No, can't break orlers," said John.
What special orders have you got come,
show 'em to us, if you can; show us your
orders.'
John took out neat wallet from his pock-
ct, and pulling out a neatly folded paper
ats here" he said unfolding the paper,
and showing it to the boys. They looked,
and one of them read aloud: "Enter not
into the path of the wicked, and go not in
the way of wicked men. Avoid it, pass not
by it. turn from it, and pass away"
"Now," said John, ''you see my orders
forbid me going with you; they are COPS or
ders, and by His help don't mean to br ak
them"

Mrs. Lewis, her manner half smiling, half
serious

Lewis turned towards his wife, Turiously.
Now, Mrs Lewis had spoken from the mo-
ment's impulse, and already partly regretted
her remark
"Take what home? do not understand
you!" repeated her husband.
That smiling face you turned upon Mr..
Edwards when you answered his question
just now"
Mr.. Lewis slightly averted his head, and
walked on in silence. They had called at the
store of Mr. Edwards to purchased few arti-
cles, and were now on their way home
There was no smile on the face of Mr. Lewis
now, but very grave expression instead
grave almost to sternness. The words of his
wife had taken him altogether by surprise,
and, though spoken very lightly, had Jared
upon his ears.
The truth was, Mr.. Lewis, like a great
many other men who have their own busi-
ness cares and troubles, was in the habit OF
bringing home sober and too often, a cloud
ed face.
Itwas in vain that his wife and children
looked into that faee for sunshine, or listened
! to his words for tunes of cheerfulness.

Mrs. Lewis was already rcpenting this sug-

Her husband was sensitive to a fault. He
could not bear even an implied censure from
his wife. And so she had learned to be very
guarded in this particular.
"Take that home with you, dear. All me
I wish the words had not been said. There
will be darker clouds now, and gracious
knows they were dark enough before. Why

behind him, and let us see the old, pleasant
smiling face again. thought this morning
that he had forgotten how to smile, but SEE
that he can smile, if he tries. Why dom
he try at home?"
So Mrs. Lewis talked to herself, as sh'
moved along by the side of her husband
who had not spoken word since her reply
to his query.
"Take what home?

after street crossed, and still there was sienc,

"What then, Caddy?"
Mrs. Lewis almost started at the sound o

baptizes the summer. She crimps the hills

where are woven the blossoms, and fruits

AS she parted with her husband on the
next morning, she said ,.. .-

smiles were kept, however, and evening saw
them; though not for the outside world
Other and many evenings saw the same
cheerful smiles, and the same happy and
lovely home. And was not Mr. Lewis bet

And so all men would be, if they would
take home with them the smiling aspect they
so often exhibit, as they meet their fellow-men

in passing compliments. Take your smiles
and cheerful words home with you, husbands,
fathers. and brothers. Your hearths are cold
and dark without them. ...... -.....

The Arm Specter.
BY T. H. GRIFFIN.

What means that vision which to me appears
Beyond the river of one hundred years?
1t is the spring time, the glad, bamy Spring,
The month Of sweet flowers, and gay birds that sing
Sweet incense rises the fragrant air,
. From floral affairs standing every where. 70
Young lambs playing on the verdent Knolls,
Kline crops the verdure while the blade unrells
Tall trees are waving, and the songsters fill
The air with melody; the modest ri
Purls forth anthem of unen ding praise
To Kind Jehovah for bright venal days
But where's the poet who spring loved SO well,
The daisy, lily, and blue dafrodel;
The biuebel, crecus and the breathing rose
The lishen, speedwell, and the brook that flows
The forest leafy, and the silver Thames,
The ssnlit meadows, and the Muses. dreams9
o, yond, glass will tell the hours soon o'er
When that bright genius will head Time morei
1t must be solemn when genius bright
Doffs the life armor, and lies hid in night,
When sinks long Illness vitality low,
And hides the spirits which were wont to flow
In rich exuberance from time to time,
Clad in high oloquence, and thought sublime,
Approach the bedside where the poet lies, a.
Whose heart was full of tende, sympathies
For fellow mortais Oh his noble mind
Is now a wreck, and tossed by every wind
See the anguish mental Oh, reader, see
On that men noble the mind mystery!
The reason totters for the pain is great!
The mind is wandering the mental state
Is in disorder, and he pllantoms sees,
Prognosticators of the death disease,
He raves aloud Hark hear him frightful call;
What arms that coming out from yonder wall
o Dodsley tell me, dear Bolingbroks,
1t looks so frigtfnl--Oh, nearly choke,
MY heart is thumping-'ts a dread alright,
A trunkless wing arm in broad daylight,
From out the wall to come-the specter hand,
And ghostly finger try me to command
BY earnest beckoning--behold the gloom
Lord Marchmount see, 1t moves around the room
Still this way pointing shaking-0h whose arm?
Dear Martha tell me-sIield me from the harm
1t becks me, becks me-heaven, what does it mean !?
Horrors, behold It coming close,-a screen
My face to hide-'tis here o God tits fed,
Thank Heaven!-my brain is ree'ins from the dread
My nerves all Iquiver.-Marchnout--M d,ar-

The shade is lowering; and the hour glass keeps

The Three Gifts.

Which of my good gifts shall give thee?
Earth asked one other sons.
"Cive me gold"
"Go, then, and dig, and thou shalt find
cold; and what thou seakest thou shalt be
| like"
So the laborcr toiled, and treasures of gold
| opened to him wherever he struck his spade
into the ground Golden ceilings rose above
him, supported by golden pillars, that rested
upon golden flowers, and dazzied men cringed
in the glowing shadow ofhis palace wals.--
But upon the seeker of gold there was
curse. It's dust was in his eyes. and its
hardness in his heart. He was but blind,
metallic statue in his own palace, for he be-
come like what he loved z.5s-s ..
"What shall give thee from mystores?"
said Earth to another of her sons.
"Give me flowers" -.. a
Go, then; plant and SOW. and flowers shall
spring up round thee, and what thou cher
ishest tfou shat be like '-
So the laborer toiled, and luxuriant gardens
blossomed around him, and his home was
bower of roses. But though he slept upon
pillow of damask buds and velvet leaves,
| there was curse upon him that poisoned his
rest. The perfume of the flowers bound his
senses, as it were, in constant intoxication,
and he dropped and grew pale whenthe win
try blasts were howling around his bower.
Men gazed upon him with envy, and then
said sighing. "He is like what he cherishes
a frail, perishablcgrowth from perishable
| root"
And what shall give thee, out of my
abundance:' Earth asked yet another of her
! sons.
"Kind mother Earth, thou art rich, not all
thy wealth will satisfy me; would have a
| royal gift-one for which thou art a daily
beggar of the sun. Give me light"
"Go, then, toll onward, looking upward
for light and it shall be thine, and thou shalt
be like that towhich thou aspired
SO the laborer toiled through the valleys,
looking up to the hill tops for light. and the
| light filed his eyes; and wherever there was
a gleam of gold in the oar he would see it,
while other men beheld only an opaque and
shapeless cold And whenever the warmth
of his glance fell, young germs that slept in
darkness sprang up and blossomed intohow-
ers, and men drew towards him as to lamp
| lighted at night. The riches and beauty of
the earth were his; with the deep satisfaction
ofseeing all things gladden. that he approach
ed He became like the light which he loved
and aspired after, and in the light was bles-
sing and no curse.-LaurensUiH Herald

INTEGRIrY.-Wh ever possessed it and
did not derive untold advantages from it? 1t
is better than the gold of Ophir; it is of more
value than diamonds and all precious stones.
And yet every man possessesit. The poorest
may have it and no power can wrcst it from
them. To young men we say with earnest
ness and emphasis, look at integrity of char
acter with the blessings it confers, and imbibe
such principles, and such course, as will
make these benefits yours. 1t is prise so
rich that it repays every trial necess airy to
secure it. Suppose amerchantile community
could be found whose every individual was
known and acknowledged to possess strict
and uncompromising integrity, the regresen-
tations of each one were in strict accordance
with truth-his word as good as his bond
such community would have a monopoly
of the trade, so far as their means could sup
plv the demand 1t is a short-sighted as
well as guilty policy, to swerye. under any
circumstances, from those grerat principles
which are of universal and everlasting obli-
CATION. Let man maintain his integrity at
all times, and he will realize its blessed in
uuence in pormoting his own happiness and
that of the community in whicn he lives and
moves.
