HERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, VA SATURDAY MORNING. SEPEl
A Boy Preacher.

M3rk Boatner Chapman, aged fourteen
is sensation hoy preacher" who Is
starring up in Louisiana. A correspondent
nl tie New Orleans Crescent wiring
lrom Clinton, the place of his residence,
Sa,s Of The phenomenon
About two years ago he was received
in the Church. Very scOn after tins he
commenced instrucling his fathers ser
wants on the afternoon of every Sabbath.
HIS custom was TO read a chapter and
comment upon it, having first closely
studied the chapter, consulting Benson,
Clark and Wesley on every passage. Tie
at length began, says writer TO Memphis
Advocate, to speak in the love ,easts and
class meetings, then TO pray IN the pubic
congregation. HIS appearance Is HAT 81
The meIest hoy, and he seems wholly un'
concious OF any superior gli!S or attain
ments. lie now breaches regularly every
Slbbath al hi, fathers place, near town.
His parents have refused to allow hlm 70
enter the pulpit and supply tie place OF
the regular minister on the Sabbath, al
though he is often solicited to 30 so. lie
does nothing wilhoat permission from hlS
parents. lie attends sch2cl and JOINS IN
/ all anusemenls of the boys Of hls own
age lie is a mere child everywhere save
when preaching. On last Sabbath, | sal
under his ministry and have seldom been
more edited aud delighted with sermon
His style is chasIe, his words hIIy anu
happily chosen. The incest critic won!d
not detect grammatical error. III
manner is earnest, and his pathetic appeals
reach all hearts. Occasionally bis feel,
ings overwheIm him, and he gives way to
floods of tears.
The most gifted lawyers, and doctors,
and divines, have heard him with aston
.ished delight confess that II IS mos
wonderful, and to me incomPrehenslble.
When heard him, he preached from the
text, How long halt ye between two
opinions p lie preached from notes
sometimes seeming 10 forget that hls notes
were before him. His subject was arran-
geG with perfect system, and logically
treated. When through with his sermon,
he closed the Book and gave a brief and
touching exhorlalion, under which |
could with others, but weep. His public
addresses published have attracted much
attention, and should lie live, he must, in
his onward course, leave broad wake OF
the ude OF morals. Such is the character
of the Boy Preacher" whose wonderful
arecocly is without parallel.

Free NegrOes-sIaves at Large.

About 40 free negroes, and several
slaves going al large, were committed TO
Jail in this place last week. The proce-
dure grew out of their rapid increase here
from other counties, and was the result OF
an intention to force the law in the case
of the later class, and purpose 10 rid the
community Of the worthless portion OF the
former. This we understand will be
Gone, although those committed were dis
charged on Saturday last, with an under
standing that those who are free shall
leave within specified time.
The law is that 10 neg:O, emancIpaied
since the Isl day of May, 1906, or here.
after, or claiming his right TO freedom un-
der negro so emancipaied, shall, after
being 2 years Of age, remain in the State
more than one year, without the perGis-
sion Of the court. And any negro re-
naming in the Stale IN violation Of this
law for(ells bis freedom, and may be pros
ecuted and sod.
In tie case Of slaves, the law is that
any person permitting slave under his
control to 60 at large trade as free man.
or hire hlmself out for the benefit OF any
person Whatever. shall forfeit not less
tAan Ten nor more than !hirty dollars

Women and AdYersity.
Women should be more trusted.

Women should be more trusted and
conhded il as wives, mothers and sisters.
They have a quick perception of right
and wrong, and without always knowing
way, read the present and future, read
characteristics and acls, designs and prob
abilities, where man sees no letter or
sign. What else DO we mean by the ad-
age "mother wit" save that woman has
quicker perception and invention than
man How often when man abandons
the helm in dlspair, woman seizeS il and
carries the home ship through the storm
Man often flies from home and family to
avoid impending poverty or ruin. W"-
man seldom, if ever, forsook home thus.
Woman never evaded more temporal ca
Ismiy by suicide or deserion. The
proud banker, rather than live TO see his
poverty gazelted, may blow out his brains
and leave wife and children TO want, pro.
teclorIess. Loving woman would have
counseled him to accept poverty, and live
to cheirish his family and retrieve his for
tune. Woman should be counselled and
lcoufded in. It's the beauty and glory
of her nature that il instinctively grasPS al
and cings TO the truth and right. Rea-
son, mans greatest faculty, takes time &c
hesitate before it decides; but woman's in
s,inct never hesilates in lis decision, anc
is scarcely ever wrong where il has ever
chances with reason. Woman feel:
where man thinks, acts where he delibe
rates, hopes where he dispalrs, and til
umphs where he fails.

The Massacres in SYRIA.

Latest ACc0utS. The Boston Frav-
eller has letter from It's Syrian CORES
pondcnt, dated Beirut. July 28Ih, Iron
which we extract as follows
There are now eighteen vessels Of war
in the harbor, all Of Them so situated that
their guns bear directly upon the town.
Everybody is now on Ihe qUi ere Tor an
occupation Of the country by French
troops, as news has been received lha0
several thousand have left France Tor ibI>

would | e the signal of the removal OF Ihe
"sick man" from tie Stage Of action.
Damascus is slll in a most deplorabIe
condition. Nothing like peace, order,
tranquility or safety have yet been resIor,
ed. Tie new Governor, General seems
to be smoking his pipe without concern,
''eaving the government Of the city to the
mob. A letter from that city, dated July
10th, says:
The dogs are eating the unburied dead.
Robbers still ransack the ruins; women,
girls and children are still slaves in the
power of the rufIians who spoiled their
homos, murdered their protectors, and
brulaly carried them off. In the streets
we meet former aCquaIntances disguised
in the dress and tuIbans of Moslems. The
miserable, crushed, naked, skulking sur.
vivors know not what 10 do or whom 10
,rust. Fear and anxiety swallow up Sor-
row for the murdered. The past is like a
horrible and indescribable dream. The
future is darkness, terror and despat. In
the morning we ssy,"Would God it were
evening"" and in The evening 'we say,
Would God it were morning"
Our Anglo. American relief committee
IS doing the work Of the Good Samaritan.
Nearly two thousand dollars have been
raised in Beiru, by the English and Amer
lean residents, but this hltle stock is near
" exhausted. Hundreds of families are
dependent upon lis charities for their
daily bread, and we earnestly hope that
The appeal made by the committee Will
meet with a warm and generous response.

ago, Two thousand barrels of biscuits.

Why Children Die.

The reason why children die, says
Halls Journal Of Health, is because they
are not taken care of. From the day OF
their birth they are stnpcfed with food,
choked with physic, slUshed with water,
sunucated in hot rooms, steamed in bed
CLOTHES. So much for indoor. When
permitted to breathe Of pure air, once a
week in summer, and once or twice du-
ring the colder months only the nose Is
allowed to peer in daylight. little later
they are sen, out with no clothes or al all
on ,he parts of the body which most need
prolec in. Bare legs, bare arms, bare
neck, girled middles, with an inverted um-
breIls 10 COLLECT the air and chill the other
part Of the body. A stout, strong man
goes out on a cold day with gloves and
0yeIcoat, woolen stockings. and thick
double.soled boots, with cork between
and rubbers over. The same day child
of three years old, an infant OF flesh anu
blood, and bone and constitution, goes out
with shoes as thin as paper, cotton SOCKS
legs uncovered 10 the knees, neck nafe
an exposure which would disable Inc
nurse, kill the mother, and make the ta'h'
er an.invalid for weeks. And why TO
harden them to mode of dress which
they are never expected to practice. To
accustOm 10 exposure which a dozen
years later would be considered downright
foolery. TO raise children thus for The
slaughter pen, and lay ii to the Lord, is
too bad. We don't think the Almighty
had any hand in it. And to draw comfort
from the presumption that He had any
agency in the death Of The child, is a pre-
sumption and prolanalion.

A Funeral Sermon.

P,rsoD s., rather eccentric
character, was called upon 'to preach
the funeral Of hard case named Rann,
which he did in the following unique
style:
"lIy beloved brethren and sisters, If
our beloved Brotaer Ram "odld wan
ted somebody to come here and tell hes
about him, and make him out TO be bet
Ter man Than he was, he wouldn't have

"No, my brethren. he wanted 10 oe

TO warn you from the error of your ways
He KEEP, horses, and he ruun'd EN-, he
kept chickens, and he fow'l EN-. Our
deer departed brother had many warDln S
brethren. The first warn'in was that he
broke III, leg, but he still went on in the
error of his ways. The second warniu
was when his son Pete hung himself in
la. and the last and greatest warnin of all
vas when he died himself.
The preacher enlarged on these topics,
until he sank Ram 50 low that his hear
era heJan 10 doubt whether lie would sue

GROWING OLD.

We're growing old together, love
By chance | saw to-day,
Among tue glossy locks of brown,
One hair was turning gray.
We're growing old together, love,
The rose leaves on my check,
While dropping slow and silently,
These momnful words DO speak.
We're growing old together love,
Though olher eyes may see
No trace Of beauty in thy fce,
Still thou art dear to me.
We're growing old together. love,
Sill may pass before,
But will stay and wait for thee,
Just on the other shore.
We're growiug old together, boys,
At first it made me sigh,
But now the thought is very dear
That our blest home Is nigh
Home is nigA-home is nigh
That our blest home is nlgh.
