The school girls were worse scared than anybody
else. Most of them have just got their first stock
of beauty, and when woman gets that It's her
best holt, for she amt certain when she will
get another and it goes hard to lose it. Two Of
the schools went to the Asylum to Sunda y even
ing service. The caEtious superintendent would
not let them enter and the steward was ordained
to the work Of letting them know. He assumed
pious air and asked for the governesses. They
stepped promptly forward and eyed him suspl-
cously as if in spite of his pious face he was about
to slope with one OF the flock. Men are so des-
perately wicked. The girls came up close so IT
he tried to elope with any of them they might be
the frst-to know it and get out of the way.
His speech, as near as we could get it, was this
way:
s'Young ladies ~
The little ones-"Oh, he calls US young ladies
What nice man P'
s'You are all old enough"
The smaller ones tried to look at least seven

At he Presby terrain church, services have been
conducted by Rev. Chas. H. Read, of the Grace
Street (Richmond) Presbyterian church, up to
Tuesday night last, who he closed with a SER
mon, one Of the chief poin is in which was, the
depreciation of UNCONVENTIONAL jealou sies and
the higher view of Christianity which includes
all as fellow servants in the common vineyard
of God. Mr.. Read preached a series of sermons
remarkable for their ability ap for their broad
Christian views, and b is departure was viewed
with regret by the very large audiences of all

APPOINTED MISSIONARY TO RoME.-The Rev.
Geo. B. Taylor, D. D., pastor of the Baptist
church, of this city, has been appointed to the
pastorate of the new Baptist church, now being
erected in Rome, Italy. Mr.. Taylors father
was for many years Secretary of the Southern
Foreign Mission Board, and the present choice,
which has fallen upon his son in the same
work, was made with a remarkable unanimity
When the occasion for making selection came,
the Board wrote the names of their choice on
pieces of paper, without consultation, and on
comparing, every piece of paper was found to
have the name of their present selection written
on it. The mission in Italy consists of six sta
tons with 800 members, including Civita,
Vecchia and Boona all under the ministry of
Italians, and these are under the missionary at
Rome. Another duty of Mr.. Taylor, will be the
superintendent of the building of the new Bap-y
fist church in Rome, which is progressing, and
for which the Board at Richmond on Tuesday,
telegraphed Rev. DR.. Jeter, now there, to draw
to the amount of $l5, 900. Should DR.. Taylor
accept the appointment, which we take it, in
view of the circumstances attending it, he is
likely to DO he will! take his family with him.
His pulpit will be supplied by the Mission Board
until his people shall make selection to fill the
vacancy.
THE NEGLECTED FOREST OF V1RG1NIA.-In twen-
ty miles of Staunton, there is an unlimited sup
ply of walnut, poplar, curled maple oak, and
timber of every sort standing useless in the for
est, for want of enterprise to saw and ship it,
A furniture mandatory here, SIN. Wilkes
last week. sent an order $50 miles to St. Adams,
". Va, for 49, 900 feet of walnut and poplar,
and yet this timber is standing almost in sight
of our city, and will stand until some one has
the enterprise to locate saw mills, and send the
timber to market. The establishment named, is
ready to increase its business fourfold, to-mor-
row, if timber could be procured near here.
