The Poor LITTLE BORA poor
little boy was once out In the streets
when they were covered with snow.
His shoes had holes 10 them, and
through tile rags Of his coat you could
see his poor thin arms
~ He stoodlookingin athshop where
he saw plenty of warm stockings and
stout shoes, and as he looked he had to
keep striking his numbed feet against
each other to keep them from freezing.
Just then he saw an old lady get into
a carriage, and something fell down
into the gutter He picked it up--it
was purse fun Of money. In an in
stant he seemed to see the shoes and
stockings he could buy, and his poor
sick mother comfortable with food and
fire. For an instant he was filled with
joy, then looking carefully around to
see If any one was watchiag, he slipped
it into his pocket. But while he
looked, it seemed as if voice wills
pered "Thou, God, seest mel He
had heard thatyerse the Sunday be-
fore at the Sunday School; and his
cheek burned with shame as he ran
after the carriage till he overlook it,
and returned the purse to the lady.
She saw how poor he looked, and
her kind heart was touched. She
stepped out Of her carriage and
bought him warm shoes and stock
ings, and then went with him to see
his sick mother and became true
friend to them both.
May we not believe that it was the
Holy Spirit who whispered the truth to
the little boys heart and the same
good Spirit which prompted this lady's
deeds of kindness? a5

DIR. PLUMER ON DEsPoNDENoY. The
Rev. Dr. Plumer, formerly from Bal
timore, but now President of Colum-
bia, IS C.) Theological Seminary. in
a recent letter to Southern minister,
makes the following remarks upon
dependency:
la II am glad to find so general a per
suasion that we ought not. to yield to
Encouragement Dependency never
raised a crop, never made scholar,
never built up church. God has not
called us to hopelessness and misery.
Let us hope on, hope to the end. If
we are feeble, the Lord is mighty. If
we lack wisdom, let us ask God, who
giveth literally and upbraideth not.
If we are 'cast down, let us thank
God that we are mot destroyed If
we are 'perplexed,' let us be careful
not to fall into despair In our case
dependency is needless, sinful and a
great torment" 5.,;

DECISIONS OF THE HIGH COURT
ERRORS AND APPEALS.
OCTOBER TERM, 1866

:
Amos Hurley. /f
Opinion ofMe Court delivered By Justice
-Ellen. -
Error to the Circuit Court of Monroe
| County. r-r.a- A.srF
The only question in this case arises upon
the defence of the Statute of limitations
The bill single sued on fell due in 1912, and
the action was brought in November, 1857
To obviate the defence arising from the
lapse of time, the plaintiff averred in plead
ing, and proved in evidence, that about
three years before the suit was commenced,
the very claim sued on was presented to the
defendants testator, and was by him ac-
knowledged to be due and unpaid, and that
be promised to pay it. This acknowledge
ment was not in writing; and the question
is, whether in an action instituted since the
Revised Code took effect, such promise is
sufficient to take the case out of the statute.
To answer this question it is necessary to
determine whether the case is to be governed
by the act of 1874, or by the provisions con-
tanned in the Code of 1857. If the former act
prevails, then the new promise is clearly suf-
ficient to maintain the action. The twenty
first article Of the act of 1857 provides, that
sin actions of debt, assumpsit, OF on the case
founded upon any contract, no acknowledge
ment or promise shall be evidence Of a new
or continuing contract, whereby totaiSe the
case out of the operation of the provisions of
this act, or to deprive any party of the ben
eft thereof, unless such acknowledgment |
OF promise be made or contained, by or in |
some writing, signed by the party chargea-
BILE thereby This does not retfdire that In /
all cases, under any statute of limitations Of 1
this State, the new promise or acknowledge i
ment shall be in writing, but only when such
promise is relied on to take the case out Of
the operation of the provisions Of this parti-
cnlar act. And the 2sth article declares that
''the several periods of limitation prescribed
by this act shall commence from the date
when the act shall take effect, but the same
shall not apply TO any actions commenced,
nor TO any case where the right Of action, or
Of entry, shall have accrued before that
time, but the same shall be subject to The
laws now in force Pr0ridef. h0iscBG. that

The Danger of AntaGOnisIn Be-
tween the Races.

!
The Charleston Mercury says: The
greatest evil which can befall us, under
the Military act is that it may throw
the black and the white race in an
tagonists against each other. These
races, if left to themselves, will find it
to their mutual interest to live in har-
mony together.
During the war, the negroes behaved
with great fidelity to the white race in
the South, Before the war, it was
confidently anticipated by those in the
North, who claimed to know more
about them, and to have more interest
in them than anybody else, that upon
the declaration of war, they would
rise against their masters !; and with
the n-slaveholding whites, would
speedily subdue the rest of thepopula-
ton, and put an end to the war. The
non-slaveholding population, however,
did not join the invaders of the South;
and not single instruction of ne
groes took place from the beginning
to the end of the war.
lneSe are Important iacts, when
ought to have great consideration in
determining the policy to be pursued,
in the reorganization of governments
in the Southern States. These are
facts which the people of the South
should bear in mind. Negro laborers
are essential to the present prosperity
Of the South. They are not to blame
for any of the evils under which we
suffer. Considering their position and /
their temptations, they have,as body, /
behaved well during the war and since
us close. The negroes are now far
more quietand orderly, than they have
been since the war. They are finding
ont who are in truth their best friends.
Hence, they have generally returned to

upon every person who has lot or grave in

The interest which naturally attaches to

Faith.-I have seen a lone tree
standing on the prairie: have beheld
the storms of winter buffed against its
trunk, and the gales of autumn bend its
lofty branches to the dust, but when
the blast had gone, have viewed its
tall form still erect, limbs still ex-
banded, and 1 have said such is the
Christian amid the riots and tumults of
the worlds unrighteousness. His
trust is in Him who gave the tree its
unyielding root, in whose right hand
there is deliverence. Let Christians,
then, learn lesson from the tree, and
amid the conflicts of life remember,
that with faith they are like house
built upon a rock; that their warefare
is but for a limited period, and that
the reward Of the good soldier Of the
cross is an inheritance of eternal felic-
ity. zoo -'1

light and love, and when asked why
she was so happy, the answer came
laughingly, "Why don't you see, papa.

they had formed an intimate acquaint-

he could endure the blasphemy which

young Englishman replied, that, ''as
gentleman, these things were disagree

trinsically wrong, it was no matter of
concern to him, as he denied the truth
of all revelation, and believed Jesus
Christ to be an impostor.''
The traveller, without supposing
that the remark would be needed ex-
cept by courtesy, replied, EITHER
Christ was an impostor or he was not.
If he was an impostor, we have the
inconceivable phenomenon of base

charity, forgiveness of injuries through
his whole life, in spite of scourging,
