How to Use Friends.

From Packards Monthiy'l ,s,-, ,ii i,, .....l.
The common remark that "there is nc
sense in having friends if you can't use
thcln,n is so frequently anti ruinously mis-
applied, that The sooner IL IS ruled out OF
decent usage tho botter.7a Of coursei tho
real value of. friendship lies in its power
and spirit to render service; but that ser
vice need, by no means to be mercenary
Our friends can be Of great use to us in
many ways besides becoming creditors for
extemporizpd loans, er serving, in any ca
pacity, as Jack-at-a. pinch. There can, in
fact, be no more fatal mistake for d young
man.. starting out in life, than to make his
sGcouaintances and friendships with this
interior view. II is always well to select
our friends IL VIC can, and To 90 so upon
some well. defined theory! Neither Is il
necessary that we should ignoFS the per-
eonal advantages which may accrue to us
tbrouph such selection; but as far as DOS
sible, these advanta ecs should berecibrocal;
that is. we should always be able to feel
that II is within our power TO return as
oo6d fayors-7f not of the same kind-as
we receiyo. Or at the least, to receive no
rfayorwhich, under similar circulnstanc
VIC would not gladly return. Again, there
ia n way of receiving a favor which will
20 far toward putting the recipient on
Soual GROUND with the bestower; and no
true friend will grant favor in any other
spirit than tlidt which recognizes this per-
ieoe equ"J. - :. .r A,

FirsI nnp1ist Church.

The services at this church on Sunday last,
We're unusually interesting and impressive.
The Rev. Dr. Skinner, the acceptable pas
tor for the past two years, preached his
final sermon in the forenoon TO large and
appreciative congregation. The house was
filled to its full capacity, and the discourse
Of DIR. S. was at once eloquent, timely and
deeply religious. At night special services
were held, consisting of prayers, exhorta-
tions and singing, on which occasion
the retiring pastor surrendered the pulpit
TO the deacons of the church, and urged
them to inceased zeal and industry in pro
noting the cause Of Christ. At these ser
vices also, very large audience was pres
emit There is no disagreement, we are
happy to state, between the church and
the reverend gentleman, nor has there
been any. They separate in love and kind
ness, and the good wishes Of our citizens
will follow DR.. Skinner wherever he may go.

TEE CONVENTION QUESTION,


An Opposition SBScSh
At Knoxville on Saturday night last,
large crowd assembled at the courthouse to
listen TO a discussion upon the question OF
calling a convention, which it had been an
nounced would be made by Gen. Thos, d.
Arnold The old veteran, says the I'reSs
and HerGld. spoke about an hour IN oppo-
sition to calling a convention, taking the
ground that it was unconstitutional and IN
necessary. He interpreted III his speech
several amusing "reminiscences Of old times,
and a disquisition upon the senatorial cleo,
ton, in which he bore down pretty hard
upon Mr.. johnson, though he was careful
TO say that he had no malice towards any
one
At the conclusion Of his speech, Col.
John II. Crozier was called upon to replyc
and made a short and telling speech, show
ing the necessity for a convention In orde-
to register the popular vote at the last eler,
ton and to restore permanently the reign
of law and order.
