Tho camp was early astir, and ere the
rising sun had sent his rays into the Grove
the mornings duties wsrt kwal sdvanced-
The weather thus far has been all that
heart could wish.
The exercises Of the day commenced at
half-past eight, with love feast. in which
much earnestness in the work OF saving
souls was manifested. At ten. began the
regular forenoon service, introduced by
singing the hymn, " Thy wisdom known
to all Thy sons
Prayer was offered by Rev. D. F. Furgu-
son. Of Starksboro, and the singing of the
hymn, q Great God, indulge my humble
claim" followed.

Elder, preached from the text John 2. L to

Of the flesh, nor Of the will o. man, but Of God.
There are no three verses in the Bible
which express 50 much as do those OF the
text. They contain the whole Gospel sys-
TEN in a nutshell, Although Christ ap-
peared personally only to the Jews, Cod
chosen people, yet his words apply with
equal force to the whole world. We own
Christ as our Lord and look to no other.
Jesus, the only name given under heaven by
which we can be saved. is our only hope.
Rejecting all other theories, we cling to
him alone. Many, who believe in Christ
and his saving power, do not give their
hearts 70 Him, and thus fail to receive the
blessing. The preacher concluded by urg-
ing those present to strive without ceasing
for the promised blessing.
Powerful exhortations followed by Rev.
Messrs. n. R. Frame, Of Hinesburgh, and
Hawley, Of Shelburn.

himself from the bar Of the grating over his
cell door with a rope made of strips OF his
cell blanket. He was arrested on a tel

scr county. Vt. for iorgeries comitted at

first was for a trihing amount, and he was
arraigned for it. about six weeks ago. and
was bailed out by his nephew, Ii. L. Mer-
nit, of Cavendish. who took his uncle home
with him. But the latter was ungrateful
enough to forge his nephew's name for $50,
for which ofsnse a warrant against him
was placed in the hands of Sheriff Stimson.
Merritt came 60 this city and then went to
Rutland. in both places getting into trouble
by his efforts TO raise money, after which
he went to Springfield. and was arrested

New Orleans Times: The great bane
of the Southern Planter and Farmer Is
the credit system. Having facility for
getting things without paying the cash
for them, he has gone on year after year,
running this facility to its extreme linn

that afier paying mp he had nothing
left, and that his industry brought no
real, tangible profit; or if he could not
pay up-quite the rTle-that It was nee
essary TO pile up mortgages upon his
lands and chatteis to enable him TO make
another CROP
The overflow and other disasters of
the early part of last year pretty much
DESTROYED the credit Of the country peO-
pie. What crops they cultivated had to
be done upon their own resources, con-
sequently, at the end of the season they
found themselves, in the majority Of
cases. the owners of their crops, with
few or no liens upon them But as
these crops were not very abundant,
their credit was not much better than
the last year. So they had to rely an
other season upon their own resources,
paid cash whenever they made pur-
chases.
As the season advances and the pros
poets for good crops grow more and
more SURF Llty now ullu the ucICldIl
more disposed to open accounts with
them, and to again entice them into the
old system We warn them, to beware
to think twice before buying a single
thing on credit; and TO endeavOr, by
straining every nerve, to worry through
the interim between the present and the
harvest season, so that when their pro-
duce is ready for market they may have
it, tree from membranes, to be disposed
of exactly in the manner which their
judgment may dictate as the most profit
able, or to be held TO await the most pro-
pitiOus season of sale.
Doubtless they viii find or each visit
to town that parties who last year when
they were really in want refused to credit
them dollar, will now impOrtune them
to buy on the easiest of terms. But we
say again let them be cautious. If they
could pull through last year on short
ratiOns, they can do it again, and in do
ing it, they viii render themselves in
dependent for life.
With cash in their pockets next win
ter, which viii invariably be the case,
if they are wise now, they can buy
every thing they want at a great ad-
vantage, have no interest to pay and be
able TO do just as they please Surely
it Is worth no small sacrifice to get into
such a position.

Not Proven.
The Southern Methodist Organ on the Result
Of the Beeeher Trial.
[NashviIle Christian Advoeate. !

Nashville Christian Advocate.
One of the longest AMI nest exciting trials
on record closed in the Brooklyn court July
?. After a weeks consultation in their room
the jury reported that they could not agree -
nine being for acquital and three for con-
domination Perhaps if it were left to the
vote ofthe entire community the result would
be about the same. As man Is considered
innocent till he is proved guilty, in the eye OF
the law Mr.. Beecher is an innocent man.-
Though We have not polluted the pages of the
Advocate with the dirty details Of this scan
dAlous trial, yet we have had occasion TO say
that We have seen nothing 20 inculpGte Mr..
BescheT. The testimony of liars and PERU
ers- like those brought forward by the
prOsecutiUn-is utterly worthless. We are
northampton of Mr.. Beecher, as our readers
very well know; but whatever reasons we
may have to dislike him, we can not allow
our Judgment to be swerved IN cases of this
sort. If there were any credible ties timOny
that he had made improper proposals TO Mrs.
TiltOn or any other woman, he ought to be
held in excavation as a monster Of wickedness
-availing himself of his sacred position for
the accomplishment OF the most detestable
and hellish designs. But such testimony
has not been adduced. Let us hope that
the scandal viii now cease. Those miserable
wretches, Loader and Price, who are now in
duress awaiting trial for swearing falsely in
reference to Mr.. RCecher and Mrs. TiltOn do
not deserve punishment any more than those
who employed them in their uefarious work.
The perjury IN the Brooklyn trial was ap-
palling D that the vile wretehes could be
brought 10 condign punishment! Bnt We
can not conclude this paragraph without ex-
pressing our wonder that Chris ian minis
ter should allow himself TO be mixed up with
such a set of detestable fellows as have come
TO the front in this scand alous trial; and the
kind of rehgiosity which characterizes the
Plymouth Church, over which he pTesides,
m ma ha karr
ment model. The fanaticsm of the old
abolition party has here produced its legiti-
mate fruit. II you SOW the wind you may
expect TO reap the WhiIlwind.

Moulten, while waiting for 'Beecher's
miniOns" on Monday, used the follow
ing volcanic language to a Brooklyn
Review reporter:
l have been TO the District attorneys
office to challenge an Indictment, and I
am afraid without any prospect of it.
Last night Beecher stood in the only
pulpit he can occupy in America. He
will stand in it again tomorrow. But if
live and he lives another year, one of US
will be a convicted perjurer and occupy
a perjurer's cell. Tilton's struggle with
Beecher was his Own-nOt mine. He
had to contend with great obstacles.
He had cOndOned his wife's fault, and
in this world such magnanimity is
shameful. The consequence was that
all his witnesses suffered. But this is
now my battle, and 1 mean to fight it to
the end. l say again that either
Beecher or I will nil perjurer's cell
before this is finished.

The Brownsville Bee says: ''Our
people are ecouomizing down To the
lowest cent this year and working up To
the highest notch. People work who
never worked before and those who al
ways worked seem but to work the more.
y great deal ot attention has been paid
TO gardens and our people almost live ON
vegetables. The Brownsville market is
literally glutted with them and no sale
for them because every garden spot is
teeming with them. We hail all this
display of industry and economy as the
sure harbinger Of the speedy coming Of
brighter and better days than we have
ever before known Ia this country. and
OF more abundance and real, true pros
perity than we have ever before enjoyed.
The failure OF crops in 1874 have proved
a real blessing to Haywood county. Ii
has stopped our people from rushing into
hopeless bankruptcy, and put them on
the right road 10 present ompetency
