NO WONDER.

a young man was recently executed
at Newport, Kentucky, for burglary and
murder. In his last speech on the gal
lows, he said; "My father was church
member and so was my mother, but
they never gave me any advice. They
went to church every Sunday, but they
left their religion at the church. They
never explained to me the doctrines of
the Bible. II the dying testimony of that
young man was true, it not only ex-
planned his own sad history, but should
be accepted asa solemn rebuke by thou
sands of christian parents in the land.
No wonder their religion becomes a
subject of mockery, when the child
never marks any evidence of their re-
gard for its solemn truths beyond bare
profession. In the church they profess
TO believe that their children have souls,
yet they utterly neglect their salvation.
If the force of this argument. which our
fallen nature so promptly gIasps, is
overcome by the efforts of the minister,
it is wonderful affair. We're the par
ents deliberately co concentrate all
their influence OH the mind of the child
to eiface every good expression made
upon it, they could employ no means
more eflectuai than profound indiffer-
ence. with what silent, yet mighty
energy, is this force being applied to
the hearts of many boys ard girls in the
land, Their parents belong to the
church, go to preaching on Sunday
look solemn, and that is all. The ex-
ample of their week day lives make their
children hypOcrites or inlidels. Better
have milestone fastened around our
neckS and be cast into the sea, than to
have our children say when they die:
My parents belonged to the church, but
were never enough interested in my
salvation to speak to me word about
my soul.-IeraS Cin'iStiaa Advocate.

THE CREATION.
BY MRS. c. r. ALEXANDER,

BY MRS. G. +. ALEXANDER.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wild and wonderful,
The Lord Good made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their wings.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man ut his gate,
God made them, high or lowiy,
And ordered their estate.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightons up the sky;
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them, every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day;
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

WAITING FOR THE SPRING.


AS breezes stir the morning
A silent reigns in air;
Steel blue the heavens above me,
Moveless the trees and bare;
Yet unto me the stiffness
This burden seems to bring
Patience! the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
Strong ash and sturdy cbesnut,
Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quivering,
As though she too We're waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
strain mine ears to listen,
If haply where l stand
But one stray note of music
May sound in all the land.
Why art thou mute. o blackbird7
o thrush, why dost not sing?
All surely they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
o heartl thy days are darksome;
o heart thy nights are drear,
But soon shall streams of sunshine
Proclaim the turning year,
Soon snail the trees be leafy,
Soon every bird shall sing;
Let them be silent waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

An Agricultural Club.

IN a communication from Farmer" in
this weeks issue, and to which we call par
ticulsr attention, the question is asked, why
We of this District have taken no steps to-
wards the formation of an Agricultural Club?
and an appeal made to US TO present the
idea and stir up the minds Of the people to
a matter of so great importance. Why
such an association does not exist, or rather
why it has not been taken hold of by the
planters of this district, as has been done
ia other districts, is matter of surprise to
rs, with the numerous examples which are
presented. The Importance of such clubs
cannot be doubted; they are vital ne
ccssity, and we cannot but believe that now
the idea IS presented, by one of themselves,
IN 80 practical and plain manner, that our
farmers will see the necessity, and at once
act upon it. The most fourishing and
wealthy district in the up-country, and one
which stands SO high in commercial credit
abroad, surely need not be ashamed, or
rather should not be so far behind the age
in this respect. We commend Farmers"
opinions to consideration, lie covers the
ground fully, and it needs that We say no
more as to the good which must result from
4 move of this kind. We respectfully sug-
gest then, that some Of our prominent plant
ers meet and determine a DAY on which
public meeting be called, and notify US Of
the fact, that due notice may be given

Mr.. ED1roR:-In reading to-days Herald,

have for some time been looking for call
from this District, but as yet have seen
none, (I did not get two Of the Heralds
within the last month, and perhaps it may
have been in one or the other OF these).
Why is it Mr.. Editor, we arc behind in ag-
riculture No District in the State can
have bought more, if as much Guano, as
our own has done. None will plant more
Cotton to the hand, and is it too much to
say none will buy as much corn next fall?
ANY one that will take ride through the
District must come to this conclusion. In
all my acquaintance, only know of FIVE
men who are planting corn to do them,
and of not more than that many who have
not bought Guano. If each one then feels
an interest in his own planting interest why
not take an interest in the general welfare
of theaDistrict Let US have some organi-
zation, By which we can have the expert
ence of old and good planters in the man
agement of the crop, for more depends upon
that than upon the Guano. Every one in
the District goes to the village once or
twice mouth, and we might arrange our
business so that we may meet at the same
time, and gather the experience Of others;
learn what will be the probable yield Of
cotton and corn, as we'll as small grain;
know how much corn will be required in
the District and send an agent North and
buy the amount in bulk, thereby getting it
at first cost. IF the price Of the staple is
low in the fall, as there is every probability
it will be, arrange it so that those who will
have to obtain money may do so on good
terms by cotton as collateral. There is
every need for such a Club in Newberry
District. No one has taken hold of it, for
the reason that every body's business is
no body's business. Now Mr.. Editor, you
being the representative of the District, do
make an urgent call for the farmers, and
all others who are interested in their cause,
to meet in Newberry at some time within
the next month, and form an Agricultural
Club too much importance cannot be at
tached to this matter. II the farmer don't
take care of himself, who will do it for him.

fence in the female seminary, or establish a
house Of reform for vicious boys, or open
large gift concern, or put his money into
flannel shirts for naked heathens, or start
