What q sweet agitation pervaded all their feel

drawn. What a pulseless still reigns through
out the house. InWardly the parents listen.

nocent ones into the keeping Of Gods angels,
and they can almost hear the rustic Of their
garments as they gather around their sleeping
babes.
Oh, how few of us there are who feel the
responsibility resting upon us; how few stop
to consider that We are training them for ali
time, not for the present only how few fam
lilies are united in training their little ones
It is only in prayer We are strong. Therefore,
parents, let us never be weary in weIl>doiDgt
but strive to bring up our children for heaven.

The Radicals Rob the State of s38, ,8O8
Thieving will out.
TFrom the Charleston Courier

It's always an easy matter to make charges,
but to sustain them is an entirely different
thing. Ever since the Democrats had tho
shackless struck from their hands and attained to
equal rights with the negroes and carpet bag
gerai in this State, have they been enabled to
close the door of the Treasury to the leeches
who sucked its life>blood during SO many dark
years of prescription and oppression. This
party Who made so many false pretenses 10
good government was hurled from Office by an
indignant people. They were not only plun>
derers, but with professional" sshrewdness
covered up their robbery SO sdroitly that it
was only the other day it came to light. The
Treasurer's books show-a and they are open to
all who have any doubts-the following fraud,
by the Radicals.

THE FREE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY,

Tho Free Religious Society mot in the hall
corner Of Randolph md Jefferson streets last
evening. There was only small audience pres
cnt. which Gen. Stiles explained by stating that
there wns misunderstanding regarding the
statements In tile papers TINT he would deliver
lecture. Ho did not have that understanding.
but proceeded to say that there woro largo
class Of people who would not attend church,
and did not care to go to hoer-gardcn.
THE OBJECT OF THIS SOCIETY
waa to attract this class OF people to their meot
ings. Tho speaker pointed out that there were
many questions concernng Our daily life which
might be discussed. lie said our physical life
md surroundings were little understood. We
charity, Of truthfulncss. We hoard nothing that
would mako us hopeful in this life With
out specializing on things beyond this life.
Our preachers bud told us that thu life was but q
pilgrimage. How many OF us had our hopos and
ambitions clouded by such teachingl 1t was his
opinion that discussing such questions as reat-
90 TO practical affairs was the main object Of the
Society: They did not believe that doubt WAS a
Gin or that belief WAS viltuo. Why did Prof.
Ewing draw such crowds III this cityi9 Il was be-
cause he doubted, not that he believed, It WAS
tho same with Mr. Beechor But they were pro-
fossional man and must work On tho piatfoam
where tho could receive pay.
Now what could be lono to make thor 1neet
ings attractivos Preachers discovered long aQo
that good music Was needed to attract audiences.
Tho Society had never made nny collections
there. They had neyor paid anything with tho
expectation Of getting. It back. They did not
cast their bread upon tho waters for that p,{r-
pose. Tho Christians only were sellsh enough
for such bargaining with tho lereafter. But
his bolef that the addition Of music
to their attractions would be great
benefit. Music waa alwaya bonetcial,
In order to continue their services and to discuss
these great questions thoy 1nunt induce an inter-
est, and lie had to ask whRt action they would
better take towards that end. II they should
employ all orchestra Of eight or ton pieces It
would prove an attractive feature.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS.
DR.. 6totta thought music should DO had. He
believed that there were singers to bo had among
the audience.
Mr.. Armstrong suggested that the society be
made sort Of debating society, and thought
this would insure an interest.
Mr.. uoyt suggested that q committee OF five
be appointed to take action respecting music.
The motion WAS carried.
DR.. Woodbury. offered his services al a
mubclan. The President appointed the follow
Ing conimitte; Dr.. Woodbury., Mr.. Btottz, AIr.
Hoyt, Mr. VandorNallen, aud Dr.. Gordon.
Aftor some discussion, tho Committee .wera
ordered to report next Sunday Mt 8 p. H., and
the meeting then adjourned. Prof. Jobn W.
