For The EsseA County herald
A Short Sermon.

-
do, do with thy might" saith the
Preacher. Observation, reason, ex-
perience, all things enforce the truth
OF the text. And yet the world is full
ofidlers that which is, and should be
esteemed most precious, men are tire
most prodigal of. i don't say all
men, for there are those that are very
penurious of time, SEEING it by the
foretop, keep even, or ahead Of it
time never drags with them; they
never wish to kill it, never stop to be
home-sick, or lonesome. They are
the men who drive the world, who
build the cities, who make the world
hum with business, who subject ma
ture to their use, who know 10 can't,
who never rust out but are ever striv-
ing to better their own and the con-
dition of other men-till the coil is
unwound, and fms is written.
But the Proverb is for others. There
are those who pursue the glittering
shadows, who idle away, dream away,
sleep away, drone away, drag away
the precious moments, that make the
hours, that make the years, that meas
ure the lives Of so many idlers, that
accomplish nothing for themselves
are no benefit to others. 1t is so
easy to be hfndercd trife will spoil
day, a dear little ache that has been
induced by over-much laziness, be-
comes chronic, and "the last state OF
that man is worse than the first
although the first was pretty poor.
But after all most men work with
their might in some way. l have
known men to work through day, and
study all night, to invent some way
to get rid of paying an honest debt,
they can always raise the funds for a
circus, a ball, or dancing school,
have time and funds for any frolic,
in sickness are frequently dependent
upon friends, and in case of death are
not worth honest dollars enough to
buy box to be buried in. Another
class work with their might to destroy
all that's good in the earth, to satisfy
their own selfish ends-who have no
decency, honor, or the fear of God
before them, breeding corruption
wherever they go, for "death is in
their habitations.
Men work hard to steal, to cheat to
rob, to lie to quarrel, to fight, to kill,
but | don't think the Preacher would
accept the catalogue as legitimate
business. The honest hard workers,
besides looking after their own, are
taxed heavily to take care of the devil
in others.
There are others that work with
their might to lift men up, to make
men better, not only in body, but in
mind and heart. They are the salt
that has saved the world from becom
ing one vast Aceldema-they have
brought light, and peace, and civiliza-
ton among the nations. The great
work that our hands should find to dc
is to improve the time, and use the
talents of life, not alone for our own
good, but for others, remembering
that aUe are not to balance the ac-
counts. Justice will hold the balances
and we shall be weighed and measur-
ed according to the "deeds." W.

Mrs. Stephen Goodwin of Castle

fects of terrible burn she received
weeks ago, by falling upon a kettle

her death the relatives found much to
their surprise, $1,000 deposited In an

essay, clearly demonstrates from thirty
years success sful practice, that the alarming
consequence of self.abuse may be radically

The City Attorney.

The new Administrators Of our city gc:-
ernment appear to have inadvertently COM
mitted slight error. AT their adjourned
meeting yesterday the resignation Of George
s. Lacey. Esq, the City Attorney. was re-
ceived and accepted, and Mr.. b. F. Jonas
elected. Thi. office is not one created by
the Council. That body only fixes the
salary. The Office is created and the duties
defined by an act of the Legislature. ap-
proved March l6. 1870, and generally known
az the city charter. The Council may create
an assistant to him if it chooses. but that
is all.
The resignation of Mr.. Lacey made a
vacancy. The City Council has no power
to fill it. Nevertheless. it presumed to do
so by its unanimous voice. At aim ost the
same time the Governor. who alone had
any authority in the premises. issued his
commission to II. II. Walsh, Esq, our late
assistant city attorney. and the appoint
| ment was accepted.
1t is TO be regretted that the action Of the
Council was so hasty. but the matter can
be easily arranged by motion 70 recon
slider.

KNIGHTS Tempiar Notes.

But little is left 20 be said Of the kni ghts
Templar. as bu. few Of them are ief' here
other than our own. Providence has GER
tainly smiled on the Grand Encampment.
and furnished it with the hest weather the
season afforded. A few huurs since ami
the streets were alive with plumed and
stirring men. and filled with music and
marching columns. Last night was silence
and darkness: the pattering rain added to
the gloom. and made sadder still the reac-
ton which comes from unusual pleasure.
So many farewells have seldom been spoken
in day as yesterday. and they We're from
the heart heartily.
The Grand Encampment made short
work at it's session yesterday morning. A
little routine business was transact ed, and
the enc ampment adjourned for three years.
to meet again at Cleveland. Ohio.

An Item TOR Our Detectixes.

A special dispatch from Nashville. Ten
nessee. December .. to the Louisville
Couyier-JOeynat, says:
Las, Thursday night an old gentleman
named G. J. Hopkins, of Giles county, was
roped iuto gambling hell by three ''sports"
named Trailor, Dunn and Kittrell, and
PLAYED out of stamps to the amount of
slO4O Hopkins had the sportive trio
arrested and arraigned before magistrate,
and the investigation was postponed until
Saturday. Before the hour had arrived for
the trial they compromised the matter by
paying Hopkins $3.50 of the money and all
costs, lawyers fees included. Saturday
night they left for New Orleans. On reach
ing Pulaski they were taken off the train
by a crowd of citizens, and were abonr to
be retired, but escaped this second ordeal.
After they had been turned loose they were
again beset, but were not harmed. Tney
were finally allowed to quietly proceed on
their way to the Crescent City.
