his genius did not lead him to books or

which he took great deal Of pride, and
showed such superior judgment as 10 have

A FEARFUL CHARGE by A CLERGYMAN.
DR.. Patton editor oil the Baptist Rtekly)
What has given you, Mr.. Fulton, the
position Of ruler over the Baptist min
listers Of New York? Nothing but your
impudence, pure and simple. No man
was ever more untitled for leadership.
What right have you to stir up dissensions
among brethren, denouncing men for
opinions which they do not hold9 You
have charged me falsely with holding
opinions which ! have publicly disavowed.
Your inability TO speak the truth is one
OF your greatest weaknesses.
Being called on for proof OF his broad
and fearful charge, Dr.. Patton said
There is a regular stock story Of Fulton's
In which he gives details Of hardships
endured in his early frontier life-oI cold
and hunger and log cabins. Once, after
hearing him tell this story to a Sunday
school, his mother said to him, oh, Jus
tin, Justin, how could you tell that storyt
You know 1t is not true 7"
The Rev, Mr.. Fulton-You have done
wrong in introducing the name Of my |
sainted mother.
DR.. Patton-If you had respected the |
memory oiyour sainted mother you would |
not within in year past, in the Madison |
Avenue Baptist Church, have repeated |
the false tales Of early hardships for which
she rebuked you.--

Bad Crop Reports from
Georgia.

The Augusta Constitutionalst
says that from all portions Of
Georgia come gloomy reports
of the crops. The Macon TeZe-
graph reports that farmers who
had been in that city recently
brought very bad reports
from the cotton crops. The
dry and hot weather has had
the effect to cause the bolls to
shed to a very alarming extent.
Some planters represented the
matter as being very disastrous,
and all who have been in the
city complained very much. A
correspondent of the same pa
per, who has recently seen much
of the cotton-grOwing portions
Of the State, writes as follows:
"In many sections the weed has
81 own to a sufficient size; but
on examination we find it with
little fruit. This unfortunate
plant now seems to be suffer-
ing with something similar to
rust, and equally as injurious.
Caterpillars have made their APP
pearance in almost every sec
ton. AS yet they have done
very little injury. The past
two weeks having been very
warm and dry, the destructive
work has been greatly retarded.
A few days of rainy weather
would cause them to spread with
great rapidity, and the effect
would be telling. The bottom
crop is almost complete fail
ure; the middle crop they could
materially injure, and the top
crop would be destroyed alto
gether. The cotton prospect is
very gloomy, and, even should
the caterpillars be mild in their
attack, it necessarily will be
short"

Carrying Deadly Weap
OnS.

We cordially endorse the fol-
lowing well timed editorial re-
marks in the Washington Chron-
icle::
No man has either license or
authority to take the life of a
fellow man unless to preserve
his own, and the law we'll pro-
vides that the danger must be
imminent to authorize the re-
sort to deadly weapons. If our
law officers will see to the prompt
arrest and punishment Of all
persons, rich or poor, high or
low, that are found having con-
cealed in their possession dead
ly weapons, they will do more to
prevent The recurrence of these
sad encounters, which result in
bringing such misery on socie-
ty, than in any other way.
So long as it is popular for a
person to boast Of having about
his person a pistol OF bowie
knife, or other murderous weap-
ons, so long will their use be
noticed in the constant recur-
renee or the commission of
crime.
Let the law be so vigorously
enforced that no man will risk
being detected in carrying a
deadly weapon any more than
he would of being found at.
tempting TO commit the crime
of robbery, and homicides will
become less frequent, these mur-
derous and disgracefcl quarrels
cease.

Another Dupe.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says
that clerk in a bookstore in
Louisville, where lottery tick
cts were sold, laid one for him
self number 3,307. A short
time ago the proprietor of the
store received a letter from one
Perkins, living in an interior
town, stating that he had dreamed
that No. 3,307 would draw the
capital prize, and requesting
said proprietor to purchase that
ticket if it was to be had. The
clerk stated that this was the
identical ticket he had selected
forhimself, and thereupon pulled
out his money and paid for it.
He then wrote to Perkins that
he could have the ticket for
$500. Strange to say, the re.
turn mail brought an acceptance
of the offer and a request that
the ticket be at once forwarded
to Perkins. This so excited the
clerk that he backed out and de-
clared tnat he would not sell it
for less than $1,000. He was
soon astonished at the receipt
Of another letter agreeing to
these terms and demanded the
ticket. This so worked upon
the nervous clerk that he re-
fused point blank to sell at any
price, and for fear that the price
less ticket might get lost, he
locked it up in a back vault
The young man has just dis
covered that the whole thing
was a hoax, played upon him
by acquaintances, and what is
worse, has found out that 3,307
drew nothing but a blank in the
"grand scheme"

WANDERING.

~ For the Fayetteville Observer.
Far from home and from loved companions,
From the scenes of childhood, bright and dear
o, how l miss the sweet communion
And the voice Of the loved / long to hear.
Life's stern realities bade me sever
The ties that bound me to love and home,
And out in the cold world, i know not whittier
Would drive me still and would make me
roam.
In the still hours of night when the voices
of nature
Seem hushed, ,and holy calm broods over all
sit in my loneliness, and, sometimes with
rapture,
1 listen to voices seem to hear call.
Oft strive to forget the sorrow o. parting
But fathers kind counsels, mothers en-
brace,
A sisters sad teardrop, a brothers. kind
warnings,
Too deeply on memory's tablet are traced.
But, life is short, and its storms soon over,
And then with the blest on the evergreen
shore,
I'll sing, full of joy, the praise of my Saviour,
And will meet with the loved, to be parted
no more. j. E. B.
