THE DEACON,S SUNDAY.

THE DEACON'S SUNDAY.
Beautiful beautifully" mentally eacula-
ted Deacon Barnes, at the close of sermon
about Heaven "Those are my ideas exactly"
And so enwrapt was he with his thoughts,
as he passed from the church, lie forgot to ask
lame old Mrs. Howe to ride home with him,
as was his usual custom.
"Perhaps it is Just as we'll" he thought,
"for she is a worldly old woman, and would,
probably, have drawn my thoughts away from
Heaven"
At the dinner table his son exclaimed,
"Oh father, l have a situation, at last. .
! "Have you forgotten it is Sunday, John =
asked his father, sternly. "Dontle me hear
any more such talk"
John ate his dinner in silence. How could
his situation be wrong thing to speak of on
Sunday He was so thankful for it that it
seemed to come from the hand Of Cod God
| knew all about the restless months in which
he had answered an advertisement every day.
When the minister gave thanks in church
for all the mercies of the past week, Johns
heart gave grateful throb, and he determined
anew to acknowledge God in all his ways
John ate his dinner in silence, while his father
| thought ABOUT heaven.
In the afternoon Mr. Barnes nephew, a
stranger in the place, came over from his
boarding place opposite, and sat on the piazza,
talking with John.
81 can't allow this, Tom," said Mr.. Barnes
coming to the door with the Bible in his hand
"you must not sit here breaking the Sabbath
Go back to your boarding house and read
some good book.
Tom started up angrily, and spent the at.
ternoon fishing and bathing with an old col
ored man, his only other acquaintance in the
place, while Deacon Barnes sat in large
rocker on the piazza, with a handkerchief
over his head, and thought of Heaven.
Presently, his two little granddaughter
came out on the piazza with large picture
book, and sat down near him. There was
futter of leaves and great deal of buzzing
as the little yellow heads bent over the book,
and finally they laughed outrig ght.
"Children, where's your mother I" sternly
demanded Deacon Barnes, springing to his
! feet
"Up.stars, putting baby to Sleep" they
both answered together.
! Deacon Barnes strobe into the hall.
"Elen Ellenp' he shouted 81 should
think you might keep these children quiet on
the Sabbath. They won't allow me to think"
Ellen had been awake all night with fret
full baby. She had hushed him and had just
fallen asleep, when her fathers voice aroused
her and woke the baby.
"Please send them upstairs" said she
wearly.
And all that sultry afternoon she amused
the three children, in close upper room,
while her father rocked and famed himself
and thought of Heaven.
A New INTENTIONAL CoLoRED MANS
AcHIEv EMENT.-We have just seen what we
consider one of the most wonderful triumpbs
of modern invention, in the shape Of a print
ing press. 1t was invented by Mr.. Joseph E.
Hayne, colored gentleman Of Charleston, S.
G.. The first popularity about the press is,
that it has a bed at each end, and one reyolu-
ton will print both sides of newspaper as
large as the New York Tribune; SO that a
perfect newspaper comes off from the press by
one united motion of its complicated, yet SIM
ple-acting, machinery. 1t ia a selfteeding
perfecting platten press-that is, it takes up
the paper without the aid of a human feeder.
After it is once laid on, the roller and the
shifting agencies turn the paper from one end
of the press to the other, while at the same
time they turn the paper over after it receives
its first impression to take its second and last
impression. The completed work is then lift
ed and dropped by self:action of the press into
box made to receive it. The second pecu-
| liar feature is, that it does book work as thor
oughly and expeditiously as it does newspa-
per work The plate forms at each end can
be so adjusted that any size of chase can be
put upon them, and the action upon them is
as accurate as Adams press, which has here
tofore been considered without rival for
book work, just as Hoes press has been con-
sidered without competition for newspaper
work. The minor advantages Of the Hayne
press are /. That one man can manage the
press. O. 1t prints 10000 impressions day.
3. 1t can be built for $4,000, whereas any
other press which can do as much work will
cost from $4,000 to $4,000. 4. 1t saves Ia
bor-requiring but one man to attend it,
while Hoe cylinder that prints but 10000
copies per hour, only few more thousand
per day than the Hayne press, requires ten
men to work it, and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Mr.. Joseph E. Hayne is a
man of unmixed African blood, about twen-
ty-fve years of age, and native of Charles
ton, S. c. He is a gentleman Of medium
height, of pleasant and gentlemanly address.
His well-formed head and intellectual face
give earnest of still higher achievements in
the profession which he has marked out for
himself Already his talents have enlisted
the warmest sympathies Of such men as COL
j. w. Forney, Judge w. D. Kelley, Col. A.
NJ. Clapp and others, who are lending him
every assistance toward realizing the pecunia-
ry reward of his mastery iuvention.-Ne,o

An ARKANSAS FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS
SoN-See here, Bob, you are about to depart
from home for strange parts. You are going
to throw me out of the game, and 90 it single
handed and alone. The odds is agn you,
Bob; but remember, always, that industry and
perseverance are the "bowers.' Book learn
ing and all that sort of stuff will do to fill up
with, like small trumps, but you must have
the bowers to back 'em, else they aint worth
shucks. Ifluck runs agin you pretty strong,
don't cave in and look like chicken on
rainy day, but hold up your head and hook
and hang and make believe you are flush of
trumps; they won't play so hard agin you.
I've lived and travelled around some, Bob,
and I've found out that as soon as folks
thought you held weak hand they would all
buck agin you strong So when you are sor-
ter weak, keep stiff upper lip with bold
front, and play cautious be satisfied with a
point. Many is the hand I've seen euchred
