GOOD ADVICE.

In these times of business depression
and consequent stringency in the
money market, the financial situation
can be improved if every one will pay
promptly his little bills. The Phila-
delphia ledger puts it in this way -
''However small the amount, pay it at
once Il party t. whom it is due may
be waiting for it to enable him to make
up the requisite amount to pay much
larger sum. There is no estimating
the good that may result from the pay
men Of a single dollar. AS often as
once in week every one incurring
little debts should overhaul his ac-
counts and make special efforts to pay
all, or as many of them aspossible. No
one should postpone payment from
mere Indifference. Nothing will so
soon and SO etfectually remedy the
difficulties experienced from want of
currency as this, and it is a remedy
that will cost little of effort and no in
convs nience. On the contrary, there
will follow the ivelieet satisfaction to
all, to those WHO pay as we'll as to those
who receive. Reeder, look to it in
your own case.

EVENING SESSION.


{ Synod met pursuant to adjournment
. at } o'clock, Rev. James NJ Sprunt,
! Moderator, in the Chair.
! The following resolutions were Of
fcred by Rev. II G Hill, Sustenation
! Agent, aud adopted by the Synod:
Resoircl, That the Synod recon-
mend to its Presbyteries to take such
steps as they may deem wise to unite
as far as possible their feeble Churches
! into self-sustaining pastOrates.
Rcsolrcd, That the Synod urge all
our Ministers to instruct their congre-
cations annually in the duties of con-
secrating their property to God and of
worshipping Him with the first fruits
OF their increase.
ResoHed, That the Synod recon-
mend the worshipping of God by re-
Eglous constitutions i'll all our Church
es on every Sabbath when they have
service, and the adoption of some plan
OF giving, designed to reach every
church member.
The above resolutions were passed
almost unanimously, and the following
resolution, which was offered at the
debate, was finally laid upon the table
from Rev. Mr. McIlwaine upon the
subject of foreign missions:
Resoircd, That in the opinion of
this Synod no Christian should con-
tribute less than one-tenth of the
yearly proceeds of his labor and capi-
tai to pious objects, and that many
should give a far larger proportion.
Mr.. McIlwaine, III his attractive style
of speaking, gave quite an interesting
account of the workings OF the Board
of Foreign Missions, together with the
favorable accounts received from their
Missionaries abroad. His purpose in
addressing the Synod upon this sub
lect was to let them know of the good
work in progress in foreign countries,
and also to urge upon the different
Presbyteries here represented the i'm
portance of their aid by contributions |
IN pushing forward still further the |
good work that was so fayOrably pro- !

Point CaSyycIs and Clinton e. 81.

We were shown last night, by Capt.
Paddison, the plan of a railroad which
it is proposed to run from Point Cas-
we'll to Clinton, drawn by II. 4.
Colvin, Esq, County Surveyor.
This new scheme has been spoken
of for some time 10y the citizens Of
Clinton and Point Caswen and the
residents along the proposed line of
| railway. The plan seems to Us To be
very teasible, and one Ill which the
merchants OF Wilmington should i'll
terest themselves, rs It VIII c0nduce
to the immediate benefit of Our city.
Point Casweit is 10 miles from vii
mington, by water. 1t Is situated on
| Black River, Is miles above its conilit-
cnce with the Cape Fear. Ii IS at the
| head Of navigation on Black River
and communication with the city Is
! therefore always open. 1t Ii; 10 Mules
I from Point CaswelI to Clinton along
/ the line of the proposed railway, which
| will run through rich section Of
| country heretofore dependent for an
outlet upon freshets III the Black and
! South rivers. The plan, as now drawn,
| strikes almost an air line from Point
; Casweil TO Clinton, leaving Beatty S
Bridge, Black River Chapel and New
| kinks Bridge to the left, and run
ming directly i,y Harrell's Store.
We suggest, however, that it will be
better to make n divergence towards
the river, at Beatty Bridge and Black
River Chapel and thence running on
directly to Clinton. This wonld Sc
cure contributions OF freight from por-
| tiona cf B!aden county, as we'll rs from
| New Hanover and Sampson, and the
people and county of Bladen might
thereby be induced to take stock III
the road. Resides, this would cut of
the dangerous points in Black River,
known asthe Narrows, which are often
impassable.
We think the scheme well worthy OF
the attention of thepeople of Whining
ton, as. If the road can only be built,
it will add very materially to the pros
perity of the city. We would then
have direct communication with the
very heart of Sampson county, first,
by rail 40 miles to Point Casweil, and
from Point Caswell, by river, 10 miles
to Wilmington. We understand that
the people along the line are very en-
thusiastic in its favor and VIC earnestly
hope that the read may be built

The Baby Shown TO Visitors.

1t is an odd fact no baby ever did,
and no baby ever will, behave in COM
pany. The mother always brings
it into the parlor where the
visitor is, dressed in it's clean dress,
and its father and it's aunt come in
smiling at the same time. After the
visitor has kissed the baby and taken
it on her lap, and declared it is the
dearest little thing she ever saw, the
baby's mother and she begin to talk.
Each talks about her own baby as fast
as che can rattle, and both talk at once
apparently without caring what Lio
other is saying.
Presently the father winks furiously
at the mother, and frowns, and clears
his throat, and makes mysterious sig
nails. The mother snatches up the in
FAINT and flies from the room. When
she returns the child cries to go to its
father, and no sooner is it settled on
his knee than it betrays an irresistible
yearning to go to its aunt, after which
it cries furiously because it's mother
won't take 1t.
IuSu Guo bIuU S6tS pleC6 VI ChnIiy
to quiet it, and when its hands have ac-
quired sufficient sickness, it reaches
over and mauls the Visitors bonnet.
Then it's mother tries to show off its
accomplishments but it utterly refuses
to make display it is as stupid as an
owl. 1t won't say "mamma" or papa, "
and it won't show how big it is. Its
father tries to coax it to say "papa, ;"
but it pays no attention to him. He
tries again and again, getting madder
all the time, and dreadfully afraid the
visitor will think his child is dull.
At last he grabs the child by the arm
and shakes it, and yells, "Why don't
you say Papa, as 1 tell you?" Then the
child screams like backyard full of
cats. The more the mother soothes it,
the louder it gets. till at last the father
exclaims, "G'me that brat p and picks
it up and dashes out of the room, and
is heard spanking. it in the entry. Then
the visitor goes home looking at her
dress; and deciding that the end of that
infant will be the gallows, if its charac-
teristics are allowed to develop fully as
it grows ND.

Fostering a Bad Practice.

There is a good deal said in oensure
of the custom of jumping off and on the
cars when in motion. 1t is righteo us
condemnation, but is not consistent
when coming from railroad companies.
Ii they truly desire a reform they must
begin at home, for as long as employees
will jump on train when in motion,
and persist in doing it as gracefully as
they do, an initiative public will be the
sufferers. People don't Jump on train
before it stops because they are in a
hurry, but because they have seen a
brakeman or conductor do it, and have
terrible dread of being surpassed.
Now, at the station the other day,
Conductor Phillips, of the eastern train,
after giving the word to start, waited
until the last car reached him, and then
raising one hand to the rail and one
foot gently from the earth, he swung
majestically around, and was at once
firmly on the car. Mr.. Phillips weighs
two hundred pounds, but there was
such grace and poetry in his motion
that he seemed to blend with the car.
First there was yellow paint, and then
gold leaf, and maroon, and Phillips.
There was an elderly person who saw
Phillips do this, and his eyes glistened
with anticipation. He was going on
the western train, and when it came
along he waited until a fine rate of
speed was gained, and then raising his
hand and leg, just as he had seen
Phillips do, and looking carelessly
away just as Phillips did, he reached
out for the rail, and the next instant
was trying to push his head through
the platform planks, and fighting the
air with his heels, and madly paving
around with his hands, and swearing
and praying at an awful rate. They
stood him up on his feet and rubbed
his head with some snow, but it was a
long while before they could convince
him that the locomotive had not ex-
ploded.

The Curse of the Hour,

There is too much lying. On every
hand we meet with exaggeration, equivo-
cation, deception. We call it lying,
and every man or woman who varies one
iota from the strietest fact or truth, is
indeed liar.
The expressman agrees most solemnly
to deliver a trunk for you at a certain
hour. He delivers it day after the
hour promised. The grocer promises
to send you the best tea in the market.
He takes the first his hand falls upon
without any care for the quality, and
dispatches it to you without q twinge.
The tailor agrees to deliver suit of
clothes without fail by six in the even
ing. You get them in the morning.
The dentist pledges his word that your
teeth, as filled by him, will be all right
for a dozen years. The filling comes
out in six months. A man over the
way is in need of a temporary loan.
You lend him q small sum, which he
promises to retun at given time. He
keeps it month over the time. An
auctioneer tells you that certain
picture is by master artist, when he
knows it was painted by fourthrate
painter. He is not worthy of trust. A
salesman lies about his goods. A boot
maker lies about your boots. The
jeweler lies about your watch. The
gossiper at the dinner table tells exag-
gerated stories to astonish the ladies,
and is nothing more than liar. The
florist assures you that his flowers were
picked in the morning: when they are
two days old. He lies, and will lie
about anything. The book-publisher
advertises that his book is selling by
the tens of thousands, when he has not
sold thousand. He is liar, and not
one door from the murderer.
Everywhere, everywhere we hear
lying, lying, lying. Men and women
who would knock you down Il you call
ed them liars, lie every hour. Decep-
tion is the rule rather than the excep-
ton. Canvassers lie about insurance
companies. Brokers about stocks.
Editors about politics. Exaggeration
and misrepresentation lule the hour and
are it's curse.
Gentlemen-ladies-why cannot the
truth be told always and ever? Why
all this deception and lying? Why sc
much falsifying and cheating? In the
name of all that is good we beg you tc
do as you agree

The MIseries of BOyhOOd.

Does the boy hope, some cold winter
morning, to economize time by hasty
toilet, and turn himself over for awee bit
OF "a nap after the rising bell, there comes
a voice up the stairway: go Johnniel
John-n-i-e!" with lingering persuasive
ness. "Get right up. Your father says
he wants you to have all the paths shov-
eled before breakfast.
II little Jennie is up and ready for
breakfast, that is all that is expected.
She has nothing more important to do
than breathing ON the frosty pahes to
get view OF Johnnie at work. Does
the boy get up early to get his skates
sharpened-"Don't make that noise IN
here!" Does he try on those idols OF his
heart to see that every strap and buckle
is in order Haven't told ycu times
without number not to put on your
skates in the house? By next spring
there won't be q rag of carpet left. "
How does little Jennie manage to keep
her skates In good order? Why, she
appeals to the head Of the household:
"Pa; can't Johnnie bore hole in this
strap for me?" "John, fix your sister S
skates;" and they're fixed; IF Johnnie
tries to play in the house, he is told to
put away that top and those marbles,
asked if he can't keep quiet a minute,
and advised to take book and sit down.
On the contrary, just es soon as he huI-
ries home; and snatches up "Robinson
Crusoe" or "Swiss Family Robinson" +"
and becomes oblivious for time of his
unhappy lot, he is reused anew to it by
the paternal voice, "Come, Johnnie, put
up that book, and go find the COW. She
hasn't come home" Jennie; who IS
very busy putting her refractory doll to
bed, wonders how Johnnie knows
which way to turn to look for the miss
ing animal. Perhaps he catches grand
daddy-long-legs, and repeats that fa-
miliar rhyme which compels him to
point out the road Johnnie must take.
Johnnie being interrogated as to that
subject on mis- return, sings his cap
defnantly into the corner, in the ground
swell of his discomfort; snatches up
"Robinson Crusoe" again, mutters
sOmeGnlng unQefnlS DreaVn aDOuG girls
and "geesey land is again absorbed in
his book. "Come now; Johnnie" says
the mother, "don't go to reading again.
It's eight o'clock" Five minutes elapses.
Johnnie, did you hear me? Jennie's
gone up Stairs" Five minutes more on
the desert isle and childish voice is
heard at the stairs landing: "Ma, can't
Johnnie come to bed? I'm afraid"
"Now, Johnnie, [ shan't speak to you
again" A brief-a very brief respite.
"Oh only to finish this chapter" "Ma!
Maj louder and angrier, 'I'm coming
down if Johnnie don't comet Mayn't he
Gomez" Enter the paternal. "John,
what are you up for at this hour? Shut
up that book and go to bed Why,
Pussie, why aren't you in bed?" 81
want to kiss You goodnight pleads the
sweet little fibber. "Bah! she's afraid
of the dark; that's the matter" defiant
ly retorts Johnnie, going up stairs two
steps at time. 81 amt neither. Can't
he stop plaguing me?" "Come, John
let your sister alone" That's all the
sympathy boy gets!
