SOMETHING BEAuTlFUL-The follow
ing is instructive, as showing what accep
table prayer is, and what is the just IN
depreciation Of its model, our LORDS
Prayer:
"To watch without prayer, is to pre-
sumo upon our own strength; to pray
without watching. is to presume upon the
grace of God. The Lords Prayer is the
rule of our duty and desires; we are en-
gagged by every petition to co operate
and concur with Divine grace, to obtain
what we pray for. y stream preserves
its crystal clearness by continual running;
if its course be stopped, it will stagnatt
and putrefy The purity Of the soul is
preserved by the constant exercise o
habitual grace. ."-Bates.

An Apt Reply.

4 native deacon, named Hagop, now
has the charge of the Protestant Arme-
nian Church at Trebizond, in Asia Mi.
nor, as there is no missionary there
MIR. Wheeler, of kharpoot, says OF
this man that he has good abilities, an
excellent judgment, good knowledge OF
the Bible, and pleasing address.
To show his shrewd quickness in re-
ply, he relates the following anecdote
Some years since the deacon was en-
pIoyed by an English mercantile house in
Samsun, and was required to work Oh
the Sabbath. This he steadily refused
to do His employer used all his inge-
nuity to convince him that it was neces-
sary and right to do so then.
- What 7 said he one day, if an ass
fall into pit on the Sabbath. does not
even the Saviour say that it is right to
pull him out y
80 Certainly replied Hagop: but if
an ass has habit OF going every Sab
bath and falling into the same pit, then
his owner ought either to I'LL up the pit
or sell the ass ~

OHAKLESTON, April Il.
Editors of Democrat: On my way here through
Charlotte, | promised to send you line OCCASION
ally, though have not now any definite informa-
ton to give in regard to the Democratic National
Convention
The delegates all here and any amount of
spectators. Go where you may, you will see a
crowd discussing the claims of different gentlemen
to the nomination. The friends of Dickinson,
Hunter, Douglass and Lane are numerous and
anxious, but can perceive no bad feeling existing
between them 1t is confidently believed that
either of these gentlemen could be triumphantly
elected, and, as southern man, would be willing
to trust either. But it seems quite uncertain who
will be the lucky man.

THE CANvAss.-We publish an account of the
5ob.te between Gov Ellis and Mr. Pool at Eliza
18th Citv 1t is not an unfair and one-sided re-
port like that of the first discussion published by
the Murfreesboro Southron, and copied by all the
opposition papers. The SOuthron did not report
Gov. Ellis correctly, and we have good authority
for saying that the report of the Murfreesboro
Citizen "a democratic paper) is inaccurate.
Our advces from the Eastern part of the State
give cheering accounts Of the success of Governor
Ellis in that section A letter from friend at
Plymouth states that every democrat he has seen
or heard of is enthusiastic for Ellis, while many
of the opposition party will give him their support
this time.
