Sin-What Is 1t.

IT is sinful to do what we know, or be-
lieve, TO be wrong; as, for instance, to lie.
to steal, to slander. 1t is sin to deceive
or mislead another to his harm. There
are many sorts varieties, and phases of
sin, besides those indicated in the Ten
Commandments. We regard it "a sin to
commit eXcesses in eating, in drinking,
or in doing anything that will impair the
health of the body, affect the mind injuri-
ously, or dwarf the moral or spiritual SEN
sibilities. Through dissipation one be-
comes the parent of an lmbeclle or an
idiot Preachers confine their rebukes to
what may be called moral sins, seldom
coming right down TO our physical trans
gressions such as over eating, drinking,
chewing, smoking, dosing and drugging,
which are among the chief causes OF our
most serious SHINING.
Let us look at these things as they are,
We sin against the laws of health when
we breathe old and fetid air, such as is
confined in school houses, public halls,
churches, and even in private dwelling
houses. We sin when we gormandiZe or
eat more than we need; when we rob our
selves or others of necessary sleep; when
we overtaX the minds of children, render
| ing them precocious and sicklv; when we
! lace 50 tightly that we contract our lungs
and impair health when we spoil our
feet, producing corns, bunions, etc, by
tight boots when we cause headache by
great wads of false hair, or by air-tight
hats; when we go to extremes in anything
whereby we waste vitality and engender
disease. Extreme greediness is product
of undue seffishness, and borders on dis
honesty He who will not do as he would
be done by is not, by any means, saint.
Each of us may hold the mirror up to ma
ture, and if we wish to do SO we may
''See ourselves as Others see u.s.
Is it not sin to gamble, and get gain
without earning it? Is it not sir to sell
rum to one whose appetite is perverted,
and whose mind is too weak TO resist the
temptations Is it not sin to seduce or
lead one from life Of virtue to a life of
vice? Is not peevish, fretful, violent,
and ungovernable temper sinful? Is not
| good nature and cheerful countcnance a
duty! Reader, go on with these questions
of determination, and see where you
| stand? You can cypher them up, debit
| and credit, balance the account, and see
exactly where you are. True penitence
will bring pardon, and, when forgiven
| past sins, we may start odt with new re-
| solves to lead new life, in accordance
with higher principles than those of
! former times. We may overcome beset-
ting sins. We may improve. 1t is our
| privilege and our duty SO to do. Let US
| try.-PhreHoIo0icdk Journal.

in the Southern cotton fields, and, like
the Hawaiian string and bow, useless
each without the other The lazy indif-
ference and careless cruelty of the one,
and wonderful powers of endurance of
severe labor, bad treatment, and neglect
OF the other, complete the compatibility
of the two races necessary for the produc-
tion of 100000 Of bales. A Characters
tic anecdote may be relshed by t,.ose who
have had experience of the two. The
spectator had taken refuge from the suns
perpendicular rays under the shade of a
spreading beech, Sub tegmine fagi, and lay
recumbent, enjoying the fitful breezes and
the somber frothiness of the country news
paper. Along the dusty road which pass
ed by this retreat came jogging a negro,
mounted on mule, both apparently fast
asleep. As the somnolent pair approach
ed the spot, some wicked sprite of the
place gave the paper a flirt, which was no
sooner seen and heard than the mule, as
mules only know how, instantly swap
ped ends" and, leaving the negro sprawl
ing in the dirt, took his departure, under
full sail. The negro, half raising himself
and wiping the dust from eyes and mouth
watched the retreating mule for some
time in silence, but at length, unconscious
of an auditor, gave expression to this
philosophic soliloquy: Oats what makes
me 'spise mule !''-Harpers' Drarer.

AN incident worth recording happened
in restaurant on Fifth street, day or
two ago. Connected with the press Of
this city is a young man who spent the
years '67, '6S and part of go along the
line of the Union Pacific Railroad, then
in process of construction. On the morn
ing in question the newspaper attache went
into the restaurant, and sat down at a
table. Tis-a-Uis sat another young man,
who presently accosted the newspaper
man:
Mister, it strikes me I've seen you be
fore"
Quite likely" was the response.
Weren't you at Cheyenne in the spring
of esq.,
"Yes"
Didn't you and Chance H help a
fellow down off barrel that was set up on
end under tree, one night?"
This was the introduction. 1t renewed
an acquaintance that began by the saving
of lite, when its owner was piniOned,
rope about his neck, with the other end
tied to the limb of tree, while a savage
and unrelenting Committee of Safety"
stood waiting for the barrel, on which the
poor wretch stood, to ne kicked out from
under him. The doomed man was
fellow, who harmed no one. One nigh.
he had won sum of money from man
who belonged to the Committee of Safety
and the latter attempted to make him give
it back. In the affair which ensued a
vacancy was made in the committee.
| This is what had brought Sam A into
the presence of death there under the tree.
/ The two men had gone among the mob,
and by entrcaty and expOstulatlOn had
succeeded in getting the poor fellows
| sudden sentence "commuted," on condl-
/ ton that he should leave the town IN
thirty minutes. They took him down OIL
! the barrel, united the rope from his neck,
and Cheyenne saw him no more. After
five years he and one of the preservers of
his life met thus by odd chance. 1t is
well enough to add that the life was saved
to some purpose, for the man who stood
upon the barrel is now the trusted
agent Of mining company operating in
Montana, and is in all respects useful
citizen. 1t was close shave-S. Louis

A BLACK AND WHITE Boy CoMBINA-
TIoN.-A remarkable boy was to be seen
at the Nashville depot yesterday; in fact
one of the greatest curiosities of the age.
He is half white and half black, not in the
mulatto and miscegnation sense, but the
lower half of his body is whittier than
white folks usually are, while the upper
portion is black as midnight His moth
er, a coal black negress, was with him,
and they left on the Nashville train at
O'Clock last evening. He is but three
years old, and has already learned to make
money out Of his peculiarities. He made
several nickels yesterday in very few
minutes. There is round patch, about
three inches in diameter, of perfectly
beautiful hair on the top or his head,
which is surrounded by little kinky negro

Tina Erie Railroad. !

NEW YORK, July S.-The report of the
Erie railroad shows that the earnings OIL tIt
clnmpany for the past half.year have largely
exceeded those of any similar period since
the completion of the road. The reforms
in the management of the company's busl,
mess have diminished the expenses IN almost
every department, and they will be more
larpeIy diminished as the reforms in progress
are developed, etc. The facilities for busl-
ness are being rapidly increased. and prepa-
rations are being made to reduce the heaviest
grades upon the line. :.
! The funded debt of the road has been III.
creased during the year by the addition OF
$4,000 900 convertible bonds, of which
sc, 100000 have already been sold at par in
Cr1rrency. The remaining 100000 will
probably be placed at the same rate as soon
as thew will be needed for new constructions
and equipments now in progress. Assuming
