FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. DIR. Smaller delivered an able discourse
| from Eph VI: 2, "Put on the whole armor of
| God etc. The Christian life being essentially
a warfare it is appropriate to speak of it in
martial terms. To the end thst the believer
| may successfully prosecute it these words were
given to prepare him for it.
The points enforced were: LIST, the armor is a
spiritual one prepared by God; I'd, the armor
must be put on and worn; Sd, the achole armor
must be put on, not part; 4th, the reason of
the injunction is clearly expressed-to with
stand the wiles of the devil, showing that Paul
believed in personal devil
The speaker. then proceeded to notice at
length the methods of attack employed by the
adversary and exhorted the Christian to nght
for the victor's crown.
ALLEN MISSION.
The Allen Mission Chapel was well hlled last
evening to listen to fine discourse from Albert
Ware, Methodist lay preacher The text was
the XII Psalm LIST to the 4th verse
CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
Risbop Bacon delivered discourse yesterday
at the Cathedral, his text being Luke xix; d
to AZ inclusive, "And entering into the temple
he began casting out them that sold therein,
and them that bought" This event in the life
of our Svai " was one of the most remarkable
recorded in the New Testament, Previous to
this merchants and money changers carried on
their traffic without molestation, no one daring
to disturb them; but Jesus cast them out, thus
demonstrating to the world that His house was
one of prayer. Avarice, he said, is of all vices
the most dangerous. An avaricious man for
gets his God and his duty toward the poor
Our wealth should first be used for Gods honor
and glory. Him only should we love and serve.
Look at the world; look at those who are the
heirs of large sums of money; they are rich
but they are also sinful and indolent. Let us
learn lesson from this; let us not lay up up
money at the expense OF our souls; let us learn
our children how to labor and not to expect
riches; let us never despse the poor, but let us
always share with them cheerfully; let us not
put these duties off from year to year until
death suddenly comes upon us, but lei us begin
at once and by obeying His commandments we
will bring manifold blessings on ourselves.

The open air meeting in Market Square last

having been solicited by numerous friends of
Staunton and vicinity to open a frst-class
House FurnisIling Establishment
in the city, have concluded to follow their inci-
nation to please the people, and have therefore
leased the splendid store-room of James A. Pr

now opening a very superior assortment of
CARPETS, MATING, WALL PAPERS,

They propose to keep on hand everything in this

be able to meet any demand, however large or
small. They will keep tor sale, also, Mirrors,
from the costliest to the cheapest Gilt Mould

GEORGE w. HEWETT, one of the most finished

They will also do all kinds of Furniture Repair

Having been induced to enter into this new

conviction that the increasing demands of our
growing population require it. they expect to be
literally encouraged.
Their charges will be moderate and just
They want nothing for what they do not give the

Mary, the Cook.

tt is strange what world of romance,
What a 'wildering, witching spell,
Hangs about Mary, the Cook.
Why, It's music to sit in her silence,
And I'm not ashamed to tell
It's heaven to catch but her look.
She, rubbing the lamps, we'll might madden
The stoniest slave of Aladdin
In short if you want to know sweetness
And dizziness and magical neatness,
You've only to look
At Mary, the cook.
You see as wei off on a picnic,
Some duties must fall to the girls:
So Mary is boiling the tea.
All, who wouldn't be an old kettle
To mirror those tumbled curls,
And sing near her heart for glee
Charley and Kate by the beeches,
Are opening pickles and peaches;
The others are making a table;
While I, like the fox in the fable,
Sit vainly and look
At Mary, the cook.
She's t'steady''-Td swear it.
Well. no-by that mischievous taught
"Willing A fellow can't tell
Though she knows how long to ask her,
Or guesses it more than half,
Which answers nearly as well,
Shall L ask her? (But ah, what affront'ryD
$50 go a short way in the country"
And always be-Jovel Is she flushing
Over that fre-or-blushing
What if I rose and took

Mine by the grand old beeches
Mine by pickles and peaches:

Mine by the sunset splendor
Nine by the starlight tenderl

The Race Issue.

The negro in the North has no larger liberties
than he has In the South. He is regarded in
Virginia as respectfully. and treatd with as
much civility and kindness as he is in New
Hampshire or Indiana. And yet he is dissatis-
fed with bis status here. AS soon as he was In
vested with the ballot ne assumed an attitude
of hostility to the white man; and he has learn
ed nothing from experience. His race Is even
more united in opposition to the Conservative
party to-day than it was four years ago. Every
evidence of generous feeling exhibited toward
him by the party in power in the State has
been lost upon him. He shows no appreciation
of the business Of the policy of the people whom
be opposes more aud more strongly with each
recurring opportunity for display Of his pre-
iudice He is in favor Of whatever the Con-
servatives disapprove, and against whatever
they advocate and espouse. All the negro wants
to know at any election, IN order to determine
upon the candidate for whom his vote will be
cast, is who is the man the great body of the
white people are supporting is the Con-
servative candidate. If Mr.. Greeley has been
opposed by the white men of the South, does
anybody believe bat that the negroes would have
been enthusiastic for him?
The fact is, the colored man ID his Ignorance
is welding political power, which, but for be-
ing coQnter-balanced and controlled by the su-
perior power Of superior plumbers On the part
of the white men Of the country, would soon
sweep the American people into vortex of
destruction. Fortunately for Virginia there is
large majority of the superior race within her
borders; and the race issue necessitated by the
negroes can be decided 10 favor of the ascend
ency Of white men in her State government as
long as the white voters will bring ali their
strength to the polls.
If the negro party should by possibility come
into power We may judge of the results that
would follow by the results that have followed
the triumph Of the same party in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, If the Conservative party
succeed-and there is not the slightest ground
for reasonable doubt Of its successive know
what it will do by what it has done for four
years past. The colored man will continue to
be protected in all his rights; he will continue,
too, to be protected by the same laws that gov
ern the white man; the constitution of the State
and of the United States, will be an @gis to
him as much as to any other citizen of Virgin
ia.
The race issue, so far as the Conservative
party is concerned. involves no prejudice, DC
passion, 20 animosty. But it does involve the
question of black or white supremacy in the To-
cal government Of our State; and the white
voters of the STATE will see to it that this old
Commonwealth shall continue to stand as
beacon-hght Of hope to our distressed sisters
Of the South. - Rich. Enquirer.
