Paw Your Minister.

Some persons say ministers do but little
and are well paid. This is a mistake. On
the other hand, they work hard and are sell
dom paid what is due them.
No man is more scantily paid for his Ia
bors than the christian minister. He is
selfsacrifcing, submissive and uncomplain-
ing; moves faithfully and cheerfully along,
in the even tenor of his way, impressing all
with the idea thathe has plenty, and yet,
beneath the clustering beauties of holy
life, he coneesIs his troubles and his wants.
Our most sacred debt is what we owe the
preacher. The amount of it we may al
ways know; it never varies, was fixed in
holy writ, at one tenth of our profit.
Il every man. in christian communities,
who makes pretentions to religion, should
give one-tenth of his income to the cause of
God, we should soon have no other com
munities than christian communities, and
no other than religious men.
AS this is our most sacred obligation, let
it be attended to at first. The non payment
of ecclesiastical dues is about to stop the
gospel wheel. It is nonsense to talk OF
mems preaching without pay; it is incom-
patible with the first principles of human
reason and the constitution of man. If the
people do not rally to the support of the
ministry, this glorious field, the parent and
fosterer of our boasted civilization, will be-
come a garden overgrOwn with the most
damning corruptions. See to it that your

Amnne tha Pronheoies.

A pamphlet las been issued in Belgium
conveying to the curious and the credulous,
information almost IS remarkable as that
contained in a recent volume that the plays
Of Shakespeare were written, not by that
man, but by another man.
The substance Of the pamphlet is that
Louis Napoleon is the destined monarch Of
the world; that he is anti Christ, and the
beast of the Revelations whose number is
666-see chapter 13, verse 18-which
namber, 81 i1s;illsrly enough, ii appears, his
name spells in Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
Thus, the Latin for Louis being Ludovicus,
the number is found thus: L-5O-u-5-d-
500-o-O-Y-5-i-1-c-10 -10O-u-5-s-O-666
Again, the Greek for Napoleon is Napole-
onti, and N-5O-a-1-p-8O-o- O-o-70-I-30-e-5-
o-70-n-50-t-3O0-i-IO- 66e in Greek let
lers. Furthermore, Ia Hebrew it is stated.
the words Louis Napoleon Bonaparte make
up the mystic number, 666. The same
pamphlet states that Apollyon, or, il Greek,
Apoleon, the name of the predicted anti
Christ, seems almost Identical and with n
prefxed, which is the abreviation of the
word nae-verily or tyuly-means N-Apol-
eon-truly Apollyon.
This is singular, to say the least, particu-
larly when compared with Daniels descrip-
ton of the last great destroyer, 'that he
should be being Of inscrutable counten-
ance, understanding dark sentences, and,

The census returns for the States South
of US now preparing. reveal the melancholy
results of the war upon that section Of the
country.
For instance, Lauderdale county, Ala, 10
1860. had a population of 1920. Now,
after six years have passed, including four
years of war, it returns population of only
1904, decrease of nearly fourteen per
sent. The population of Lowndes county,
in the same State, is now %, 544, against
27.7l6 in 1900 loss of eight per cent.
Madison county had a population IN 1860
Of 90, 6,451: it now returns %, 531-a loss of
three and half per cent. Pickens, another
of the most populous counties of the State,
had. in 1850, a population of %. SIC; but
now has only 10, 8,960-a decrease of fifteen
per cent, or more than one seventh of the
whole
These figures all relate to a State which
suffered less. perhaps, than any other
Southern State from the direct results Of
the war.
The waste in Tennessee. Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi. and
Louisiana, all of which were the arena of
conflict more frequently than Alabama, has
been much greater.
On the other hand the population of the
North largely increased, as appears by
comparison Of the vote Of / 864 with that of
1860 The natural increase from inmigra-
ton and other causes more than supplied
the waste of the war.
The official report made from the Tax
Digest of Georgia, for the year 1865 and
1866, shows what the secession of that
State in 1861 has cost in a material point of
view. The loss in slave property alone is
S454, ,042, ,282; the decrease in the value of
lands is put down at S129, ,134. .908; in city
and town property at S13.3I2.941; in
money and solvent debts at $126, 482, ,7O9;
in merchandise at S12, 432. GIG; in ship
ping and tunnage at 81 $3.50, 884; in house
hold and kitchen furniture at So, 429,018
aud in property not enumerated at S34,-
889, ,275. 70 this the Controller makes an
addition of losses Of property not returned
upon the Digest, of which the following are
the aggregates: Losses on railroads since
1860, s15, 900; losses on banks, $780,
0oo, 900, and in churches, public buildings,
etc., $1,000, 600. Making the grand total
of losses eight hundred and forty-oue, mil
lions two hundred and fifty thousand
eight hundred and seventy-s dollars
The Controller dismisses these astounding
figures with the remark that Comment up
on the sad and lamentable statement Of facts
is unnecessary, it being but too true that
almost four ffths of the entire wealth of
Georgia has either been destroyed or rem
dered unproduetive. .''-Nas6 Banner.
