We may judge mans character
by what he loves what pleases HIM,
If he manifests delight in low. sordid
objects, the vulgar song and debasing
language. In the thisfertunes of his fel-
lows or animals. we may at once deter
mine his character. On the contrary
if he loves pnrity, m5desty, tfuth-if
virtues pursuits engage his heart, and
draw out his affections we are salts
fed he is an upright man. When we
see 3 young man fond Of fine clothes,
and making fop of himself, it is a
sure sign that he thinks the world con-
sists of outside show and ostentation,
and he is certain to make an unstable
man, without true affection or friend
ship, fond of change and excitement,
and soon wearying of those objects and
pursuits which for time give him
pleasure.

And lead Us not into temptation
but deliver rs from evil"
Abrtract Of Sermon, by r. IL. Web
Ster.

= ~
SteY.
In the Lords prayer, we have been
taught to draw near to God as to our
Father-to worship him hallowing his
name-to honor his kingdom, making
it first in our prayers-to ask for any
thing that we need--to confess our
debts in the spirit Of forgiveness, and
ask for pardon; and now, finally; we
are taught to pray that we may be kept
from falling INTO sin when tempted.
and that we may be delivered from
evil
This last, be it observed is not
prayer that we may not be tempted,
but that we may not be led into tempt
alton. AS one about to sail to Europe
might pray, not that he may be kept
away from the sea, but that he may
not be drowned in it.
The teaching Of the Lord in this
petition, suggests several inquiries.
l. Is 1t possible for arg Of as to
grov APP IN this cory3 and aever be
tempted.
When God planted the tree in the
midst of the garden. a tree of which
they might not eat, yet pleasant to the
eyes and good for food, and to be de-
sired to make one wise, they could
not live in that garden and not be
tempted
Moreover, when urged by one VINO
professed goodwill and whose charac-
ter they understood not, to take it and
eat, the temptation would be greatly
increased
We find in the garden three things,
which combined to make the tempta-
ton; the desires, which the forbidden
fruit appealed to and stimulated the
forbidden fruit, and the Tempter.
Now, wherever these three things
exist temptation is inevitable:
But these three things do 6xist in
the world now.
Whether the account in Genesis is
to be taken literally or allegroically;
[ don't see that it matters much, the
truth remains in either case that they
were tempted, just as people are now
through the natural desires, the for
bidden things and the tempter, the
answer to our first question then is
clear enough
5. Is 1t destro5le tddt ,5e should
be free from temptation.
Propably this is about the same as
to ask, would it not be better, not to
have been at all.
For, if we had no desires we should
not be human beings at least, whatever
else we might be. 1t is hard to tell
how we could be anything at all with
life in it; unless it were mere vegeta-
ton, for even the lower animals have
desires. To have no desires would be
to have no feeling, for feeling is but
another name for desire.
A feeling of pleasure creates at once
the desire to continue it or increase it,
or repeat it. The feeling of pain be-
gets the desire to escape it or to pre-
vent it. To have no desire, is to have
no feeling, that is not to be at all
But, having desires. then, were
there nothing to crafty them, there
could be little if anything else than
misery in the world, for what Is pleas
ure but the satisfaction of desire !.
1t is essential therefore to our very
existence even as animals, that we
: have the capacity of enjoying and

There are more kinds Of death
than one. There is the death of the
body, when sad farewells are spoken,
when eyelids droop over sightless eyes,
and pale lips close over voiceless
mouths, when in silence and mid sor-
row the stern agony is endured, and
the light and warmth of life is ex-
changed for the shroud, the pail, the
breathless darkness, and the narrow
house. This death alone is inevitable.
Bnt, as sunlight often gilds the
mountains top, around whose lower
sides dark clouds are drifting, so is
there land of light and blessedness
living somewhere in the "Great I'm
known" But there is death or tor
por of the mind, death of kindly az
fect.on, death of generous trust and
ennobling faith. death of fixed pur-
pose and noble endeavor, which leads
j to no brightness beyond

HUMBOLDT ITEMS.

Law Court is still in session and a
number of old cases on the civil docket
was disposed of last week. The
State docket was taken up Tuesday
of this week. Some important cases
will be disposed of this week. Bust
ness seems to be brisk, and some i'm
provements going on in the suburbs.
Considerable quantities Of cotton are
coming in.
A large crowd was in town Monday
to hear Porter and Maynard speak.
The large Presbyterian Church was
densely packed. Porter led of in an
ablespeech exposing the Narraganset's
record. Maynard confined himself to
the funding and assessment laws, and
lodged the charge that he voted for
the civil rights bill.
Gov. Brown spoke yesterday to a
large crowd.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1874-10-29

The Huntingdon Times of last
Thursday contains the following items
of interest:
There are in Carroll county 4,5O9
white, and 1878 eolored children of
scholastic ages
We learn that a yeung man from
this vicinity is in jail at Trey, Tena..
charged with passing counterfeit
money. As the young man is respec-
tably connected, we withhold his
name.
We learn that Mr. Green McCaclin,
residing four miles west of this place,
while earelessly hand ing a pistol yes
terday morning, accidentally shot him.
self, the ball taking effect in his thigh,
inficting a very serious wound
We regret to learn of the death of
Mr. Allen Bewden, an old citizen of
this county, which occurred on last
Monday. Mr. Bowden was among
the first settlers of this county, and
bere an Hrepreachable name and left
many friends behind him. He was
good citizen and true christian, firm
and unyielding in the advocacy of
what he esteemed the right. In his
death his family, relatives and the en-
tire community sustain an irreparable
loss.
The Republicans in this county will
leave no means untried TO elect their
candidate for Representative. They
already know that the election of Re
publican TO the Office of Governor,
member of Congress, State Senator,
or Floater, is a moral impossibility;
not so, however, with the election of
Representative, for two years ago Mr.
Brooks was elected by a handsome
majority, and to effect his reelection
they will be willing to throw off on
Maynard and Muse. If the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives of Carroll do
not desire to see the county again
represented by Republican in the
State Legislature, they must to man
support the nominee. 1t is fortunate
for the party that in the person Of W.
L. Curtis we have a candidate to whom
no objection can be properly urged
He is a man Of extensive information
as to the wants and necessities of the
people; of high standard of morals
and of unbOunded personal popularity
among his fellow citizens where he is
best known. In point of talent, his
election would be an immense i'm
provement upon our last Representa-
tive, as he would at once take his place
among the active, working and intlu-
entail members of the Legislature.

NOTES FROM PICKETTvILLE.
Der. q, 1874.

WI -, AZ H
Our community is at peace; every
one is busily at work; no time for
loafers. The farmers have gathered
most of their cotton and are now
sowing largely of wheat, which we
think is the only way to redeem our
people from starvation or suffering.
If you would watch our merchants
seeking with longing eye after every
bale Of cotton they see, and wondering
if they are going to get it for goods
they sold this summer, and watch the
farmers as they drive on with their
cotton 10 some point where they de
not owe all of it, and sell, put the
money in their pockets, ETC.; if you
could see the merchant then, with his
long face, you would think he needed
money now. But he must grin and
endure it and hope for better times.
We are not much politicians since
our troubles, but when Wise A. Cooper
was speaking last Saturday to our
citizens we thought we would vote for
him and the straight ticket.
Times are dull, money scarce, and
provisions high, but Z. H. James Il
Co. have a large stock Of goods at
panic prices-cheap according to hard
times.
