A GIFTED MEMPHIS LAWYER Who EDITED
Two PAPERS, Both DAIbY.-An antiquated
writer,in-the Memphis appeal has dug up out
of his memory the following rich story. The
young lawyer refeTed to- is still fourishing
in Memphis: "Thete was never greater local
excitement than that which grew out of this
Internal navy5yard business. Half the people
were lin favor of accepting the property, and
half or-more opposed to it, the latter thinking
that the Government might be induced even
vet tomake liberal appropriations and perfect
the navy-yard, and, build ships and steamers
hereLone a morning publication edited by a
gentleman ofFno ordinary ability named Bank
head, who was tragically and mysteriously
assassinated some six years ago. There was
another, an afternoon paper, called the Nc,us,
Il believe that was the name,) edited by a man
named Yancey.f These editors opposed one
another On the navy-yard question: and theif
discussion had begetten agood deal of excite
ment, when both went away for the summer,
and each without the others knowledge en-
ployed the same man, this young lawyer to
conduct his paper in his absence. The young
limb ofSthe law naturally enough took to both
sides of Ithe question. He made the controver-
sy between the two papers hotter and hotter
each successive day. Crowds gathered each
about the NepS Office, and somebody expected
that the two furious editors, would shed blood.
The coming duel in Arkansas was confidently
anticipated, and the ferocity of the two papers
wasj marvellous. Popular excitement was in
tense when Bankhead came hurrying home
from Virginia, and Yancey from Alabama,
each thinking the other was about to murder
his own substitute. Such was the fervor of
popular feeling and evaporation that the story
was necessarily kept quiet If the mischevious
fraud upon the public passion had been exposed
at the time, the dcceiving editor would have
been hanged to lamp-post.

this was done. Meanwhile, Meares found still
in their service an old man of seventy-six, who
had been an apprentice under the very foreman
who, more than one hundred years before, had
cast these bells; and he, stimulated by Mr..
Prioleaus generosity, never rested TIL ne
brought to light. the very original moulds for
the castings. Into them the new metal was
melted with careful distribution Of the broken
fragments, so as to make the illusion reality.
Prioleau added, and the reward Of his perse-
ance and generosity was to send to the vestry
these new bells, which are the very old ones
still. Again did the congregation with tears
and thanksgiving receive the bells from this
their fifth voyage across the Atlantic, and hung
them up in ST. MichaePs steeple.
May they. never again be removed by the
rough hand of war, or ever sound aught bat
peace on earth and good will toward men. ,,,.

PRovIDENTIALLY rDIRECTED.-Among the
attendants of a late Methodist Conference was
a very beautiful and intelligent looking young
lady, who drew the admiring gaze of many
eyes, particularly eyes masculine, always on the
lookout for feminine faces. During the inter
mission at noon, spruce young minister
stepped up to the. presiding elder and said,
with an air of secrecy: So. .l.,,:i !
ttDid you observe the young lady who sat by
the first pillar on the leftT'
eyes" said the elder, "what of her {"
"Why," said the young man, 81 feel inn
pressed that the Lord desires me to take that
lady for my wife, / think she would make q
good companion and helpmate in the work OF
the ministry" ~ @ 80, - .'''.z,'I -.
The elder, as good Christian ought, had
nothing to object. But in few moments an
other candidate for ministerial efforts and hon.
ors, and for the name of husband, came conf
dentially to make known like impression
regarding the same identical young lady,
"You had better wait awhile. 1t is not best
to be too hasty in determining the source OF
such impressions" said the prudent elder.
And he said we'll, for hardly were the steps OF
the second youth cold at his side, ere third
approached with the same story, and while the
worthy confdant still maryelled, fourth drew
near with the question
"Did you notice the fine, noble looking lady
~ Yes" Yes cried the swelling elder.
"Well, sir,p. went on the fourth victim Of
that unsuspicious girl, "it is strongly borne in
upon my mind thatit is the will of the Lord
that 1 should make proposals of marriage to
that lady He has impressed me that she is to
be my WIFE"
The elder could hold in no longer.
Impossible! impossible ?" he exclaimed, in
an excited tone, "the Lord never could have
intended that four men should marry that one
womanr

Sunday Schools.

~J OchcCo
A correspondent of the
Msthpaist Rscords5 complains
of the present singing in our
Sunday Schools. q Z says: :aone
great disadvantage that our
Sunday Schools labor under is
the want of suitable singing
books. How often is it the
case that few of the best of
singers in the school engross
all the singing books,while one
half or two-thirds ofthe school
are mere lookers,on, or silent
listeners, when in most cases a
little effort would secure books
for all that would use them!"
The above fits this locality
exactly. Not only are they al
most without suitable sir ging
books, but they are destitute
of even a show of a library,
and no effort is being made to
better their condition. Enough
has been raised twenty times
over by the few scholars who
attend and keep up our sun
day Schools to supply them
with all things which would
make their schools pleasant
and attractive, sapd would tend
to draw in the hundreds of
children who now spend their
Sabbaths in play, pitching G
quoits, loafing on the street
corners and strolling over the
fields; but the officers have al
most Invariably Appropriated
it for the Heathen abroad, leav-
ing our own children destitute.
With proper management the
time would come when the
scholars could spare to the
Heather countries, but charity !
should begin at home, with
Sunday Schrols as we'll as with
individuals Meetings may be
held to advance the cause of
our Sunday Schools till eter
nifty, but they will never
amount to anything until the
SCHOOLS themselves are made
attractive. You can't put
old heads on young shoulders,
and you can't get children to
come regularly every Sunday
to sit up in rows and answer
dry questions in theology ex-
cept they are compelled to do
so by parents. Nature outside
too attractive a pro-
gramme, and it is with this that
Sunday Schools must compete.
DO, please, gentlemen, give our
children chance. They have
been defrauded of pleasant and
profitable Sundays too long
now.
