We are satisfied that their minister will ever
feel grateful for this exhibition of their appre-
citation of his ministerial relation to them. Do
nations of this kind could be more frequently
rendered by the different denominations, and
would enable the minister the better to attend
his duties toward them; besides, it will be en-

STOPPING A NEWsPAPER.-An exchange has
the following allegory, which we commend to
careful consideration:
A certain man hit his toe against pebble,
and fell headlong to the ground He was
vexed, and, under the influence of anger and
self-sufficiency, he kicked mother earth quite
saucily. With imperturbable gravity he looked
to see the earth dissolve and come to naught.
But the earth remained, and only his poor foot
was injured in the encounter. This is the way
Of man. An article in newspaper touches
him in weak spot, and forthwith he sends to
stop his paper. With great complacency he
looks to see the crash, when he finds he only
hit his own toe against world that does not
perpetually feel the shock, and Injuries no one
but himself.

My Dear Sir am very glad to learn from
your letter Of recent date that you are engag-
ed in securing an endowment for the Ken
lucky Professorship of History and English
Literature, in Washington College, Virginia
L beg to assure you that you have my best
wishes for the success of your undertaking.
My favorable impressions in regard to that
institution were strongly confirmed by a recent
visit, and would not hesitate to recommend it
as one of the best in the whole country, wheth-
er regard be had to the character and capacity
of the teachers or to the nature and scope OF
the subjects taught.
The discipline seems to be thorough. but ap-
peals in large degree to the higher nature of
the students, and the general demeanor both
of those at the college and at the Military In
stitute appeared to me to be creditable to all
concerned. The locality is certainly one of the
most picturesque and delightful in Virginia.

complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi-
dends, and the misunderstanding which the lat
ter are so apt to cause the Policy-Holder
Several new and attractive tables are now pre-
scented, which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN.

WELL PRESERVED PALING-The railing and
paling of the enclosure to the residence of Hon.
A H. H. Stuart which his father had had put up
in the year 1892 are sound at this time. The
posts had to be renewed a few weeks since. The
rails and pales were made of yellow pine, and
the ends of the rails were dipped in boiling OIL
and oil was brushed over the other portions be-
fore they were painted. This treatment and the
character of the timber used accounts for the
preservation of the fence for such a long time.
