These Is no flock, however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There no fftside howsos'er defended.
Bu has one vacant chair" Longfslior.
The hour of bereavement is the common
lot OF us all and we come back from the
uew-made grave when we have laid our
loved ones to sleep, come back TO the vacant
chair, the desolate room, the empty life-oh,
how empty Yet not for all this do the
cares and duties of life press on us with any
less weight or diminish aught Of their de-
mands. Wisely is it thus ordered To sit
down and nurse our grief, to give full rein to
the indulgence of sorrow and tears, is the
worst possible thing for us and for those
around US. If grief opens our hearts to feel
the woes of others inclines us to forget self
and selfish sorrow in binding up other
bruised and bleeding hearts leads us to
double our diligence, that before we too are
summoned away, the whole work given us
to do shall be done, and well done it will be
possible in some near future for us to say
from the heart, 1t is good for me that |
have been afflicted"
Bitter as is the cup of bereavement. cruel
as are the pangs of separation at the door of
the sepucher, lasting as is the sense of loss,
yet from these all good may be evolved; for
only those who have had this baptism know
how to feel for Others woes, to speak words
of consolation, and 10 keep silence when no
words can be of any avail. Death runs his
plowshare through our household, tearing
up the sod, cutting off at the roots roses and
violets, and the tender blossoms whose fra
GRANGE cheered our lives wither and perish ;
but by and by richer harvest iustiies the
ways Of God, and as little by little our af-
fections are transferred from this TO another
world, and the fruits of patience and hope
and resignation ripen above the sod thus
rudely uptorn, we begin dimly to perceive
that " Whom God loyeth he chasteneth."

ments and additions to the public worship
bill : "That no clergyman whose face is
worth looking at turn his back on his con
gregation, If any clergyman is in doubt
whether his face Is worth looking at, he may
compare his personal appearance with that
of the ordinary That no rector, vicar, in
cumbent or curate introduce any innovation
into the service without the requisite faculty
common sense. That after twenty minutes
preaching, the proper position for the minister
be deemed TO be out of the pulpit. That
celibacy be enforced on those of the clergy
whose incomes do not exceed 5000 per annum.
That no clergyman who has not passed in
honors be allowed TO use the expression
philosophy falsely so-called in his sermon.
That the oifertory shall be always ac-
companied by the collect for the day."

OF the lower and laboring classes have, it is
true, rather small feet, but their feet are

Let Them Respond.

We hope, By all means, the Collectors
of the various Counties, will respond
promptly to the call of the State Board
of Finance in the trying emergency that
is now upon us. The Little Rock Gazette
states the case and makes the appeal as
follows:
Some weeks ago, the state board Of Fl
nnnce sent to the collectors of a number
ofthe large counties a request to send in
the receipts on the state interest tax as
early as possible, to assist the board in
meeting various obligations OF the state,
soon to mature in New York. 1t is well
to remind those officers that the time in
which their compliance will be Of most
practical avail is very short, and we there
fore hope they will all and scyerally send
in their funds with the least possible de
lay. Sheriff Rottaken, of this county,
turned in ten thousand dollars in curren
cy some time since, and will deliver the
balance due from him ts.day as nearly as
the condition of his accounts, 50 soon
after the close Of tax paying, will permit
Sheriff Rottaken deserves credit for his
promptness and for the example he has
set to others, and which, for various
reasons, should be universally followed.
Let US all give the state board a helping
hand. We are poor, it is true; but not
so poor to-day, that with such taxes col
lected as the law granting extension Of
time make it reasonable to expect, we
may not meet some portion Of our just
debt, and thereby prove our faith inch for
inch, in line with our ability The spirit
shown in paying any portion of our debt.
so soon after the devastation lately pro-
duced in our state by causes fresh in the
mind of every one, will entitle us to, and
will gain for us, recognition such as
would hardly result from ten times larger
payments in more prosperous times We
know we mean well-let us prove to the
world we know how to do well BY all
means the collectors should send on their
taxes, particularly for the fund mentioned,
at once.

A RequisitiOn,

T. L. Gerrenn, having a requisition of Gov
Coake of Texas on Gov. Garland Of this State
duly authenticated, arrived here Monday, for
the purpose of arresting II G. London of this
County. charged with the crime of murder in
the State of Texas. London Is charged with
shooting some two or three years since,
man by the name of Beavers, in Denton, Den
ton county, Texas. London does not deny
the killing. but claims he was justified in so
doing He went to Texas about the begin
ming of the war, and returned to this County
just after the killing. He stands well with
his neighbors and those that know him, as
good, and peaceable citizen. We know his
father and brothers and know them o be as
good citizens AS we have. We regret the cir
cumstance and hope he may be returned ac
quilted to his family and home.
The officer left Tor Texas, by way of Nus
cogee, on Wednesday morning Ills father
and brother have started for Denton to render
what assistance they can in the case.
