WHEN James l.. Orr, of South Caro-
lima, published letter a few weeks
since, advising his friends to vote with
the regular Republican party of the
State at the coming election, the Demo-
cratic journals ofthe State charged him
with having made an arrangement
with the leaders of the Republican
party to be elected United States Sena-
tor at the meeting of the Legislature
this winter. In reply to this charge,
Mr.. Orr, in letter published in the
South Carolina Republican, says, first,
that he has never had any conference
with Governor Scott or any other Re
publican, directly or indirectly, with
reference to the Senatorial election;
and, second, that he has not been, is !
not now, and will not be, candidate
for the United States Senate at the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature.
1t is very hard for some Of the South
ern Bourbonst to understand that man
may honestly experience change Of
political sentiments.

Shun evil speaking. Deal ten
derly with the absent; say moth
ing to inf1ict a wound on their re-
putation. They may be wrong
and wicked, yet your knowledge
of it does not oblige you to dis
close their character, except to
save others from injury. Then
do it in a way that bespeaks a
spirit of kindness to the absent
offender. Be not hasty to credit
evil reports.-They are often the
result of misunderstanding. or of
evil design, or they proceed from
an exaggerated or partial disclo-
sure of facts. Wait and learn
the whole history before you de-
eide; then believe just what evil
dence compels you to, and no
more. But even then, take heed
not to indulge the least unkind
ness. else you disipate all the spi-
rit Of your prayer for them, and
unnerve yourself for doing them
good. r-s .F '1

A Holy LAND HoRsE.-In his

A Holy LAND HoRsE.-In his
travels out Of Jerusalem, Mark
Twain had an extraordinary
horse, which he thus paints. We
should wish to "tarry at Jericho"
had we such a animal:
II have a horse now by the
name of Jericho. He is a mare.
! have seen remarkable horses
before, but none so remarkable
as This. l wanted a horse that
would shy, and this one Ellis the
bill. l had an idea that shying
indicated spirit. If it is correct
| have got the most spirited horse
on earth. He SHES at every
thing he comes across with the
utmost impartiality. He appears
to have mortal dread of tele-
graph poles especially /; and it is
fortunate that these are on both
sides of the road, because, a. it is
now, l never fall off twice in sue
cession on the same side. IfI
fell on the same side always it
would get monotonous after q
while. The creature has SHE'D
at everything to-day except
a haystack. He walked up to
that with an intrepidity and reck-
lcssness that was astonishing.
And it would fill any one with
admiration to see how he preser-
we'd his selfpossession in the pre-
sence of a barley sack. This
daredevil bravery will be the
death Of this horse some day.
He is not particularly fast, but I
think he will get me through the
Holy Land. He has only one
fault. His tail has been chopped
of, or else he has set down on it
too hard some time Or other, and
has to fight the flies with his heels.
This is all very we'll, but when
he tries to kick q Ay of the top
of his head with his hind foot It
is too much ola variety. He is
going to get himself into trouble
that way some day. He reaches
around and bites my legs, too. l
don't care particularly about that,
only I don't like to see a horse

and in like manner chronic debility, al

COPS OMNIsClENCE.-Gcd ncv.
er forgets anything. All his
works, from the creation of q
world to the things of a leaf. are
finished perfect. Did you ever
stand under a full-boughed, hea-
Wy foliage tree in summer time,
and pluck one Of its myriad lea
yes and examine its delicate ira
Gerry, its coloring, the very per-
fection Of its finished beauty,
and then think of the count
less number of such leaves. or
the mighty forest whose luxu-
rious growth cover so much of
the world and reflect that among
them all there is not a leaf unfin-
ished, each perfect in its form and
color? And did you ever pick a
flower, either from cultured gar
den or by way-side walk, enjoy
its odor and bless its beauty and
stop to think how all the wide
earth blossoms with such fra
grant beauty, and no flower Of
them forgotten--the same careful
hand filling each glowing heart
with perfume, and coloring each
leaf with care? When we think of
this omniscience, of this never
failing care we feel something Of
the attributes of that power
unseen, yet ever present; un-
touched, yet ever felt-who gives
to the violet its color, to. the rose
its fragrance. who tints with
beauty the tiniest leaf, and yet
whose hand controls the planets
in their courses, whose fiat rules
the countless worlds.-( Spur

P1ErY AT HoME.-Religion is
majestic in the State; it may be
grand in the church-in the
church building a great institu
ton, in the State swaying the
destinies Of millions Of men.
But piety looks lovelier and
sweeter at home; not ar:ayed in
the court dress. nor set off in her
church regimentals, but dressed
in her ho,nely week. 'ay, work
day clothes. 1t is a little strik
ing that the word piety, which
so often rings in the Christian
church, is mentioned only once
in the English Bible, and then
coupled with the admonition tc
show itself6rst at home.
