ONLY FRIEND.

The only friend the poor sinner has, is the
Lord Jesus Christ. In the love of man there
is something cold, formal and selfish. To
love those who love US is human but Jesus
loves those who hate him; hence, his love for
sinners is divine love. The love of Jesus
is intense No words can describe it. He
espoused the sinners cause when none others
dare do it, and his love for the sinner is an
everlasting love. This love he manifests by
what he has done, is still doing, and by what
he promises to do for the sinner throughout
an endless eternity. Thesinner's only friend,
Jesus, obeyed the law for him; died the ac-
cursed death of the cross in his room and
stead and as his only friend, he sits on the
right hand of the majesty on high, and, as an
advocate, pleads the sinners cause before his
holy Father. The sinners true and generous
friend, Jesus, promises him place at his
right hand when the work of sanctifcation is
complete. He promises all who accept him
as Saviour, that he will give them grace
here and glory hereafter. How foolish it is
for men to reject loving Saviour!

STAND STILL.

When the children of Israel were about to
cross the Red Sea, they were overtaken by
the pursuing Egyptians As might have
been expected, the recently freed Israelites
were thrown into great confusion. They did
not know what to do. Before them was an
arm of the Red Sea; behind them was an in
furiated enemy. To 60 forward, was, to all
human appearances, to rush into watery
grave; to 60 back was to be devoured by the
sword. In the midst of their doubts and
fears, God commanded Moses to order the
people to stand still and see the salvation Of
God, adding that the Egyptians whom they
saw that day they would never see again.
(Erodus 4:15)
The circumstances by which the Israelites
were surrounded at the time referred to were
perilous, but not by any means peculiar.
Every individual, by the providence of God,
is often placed in situation in which he is
unable to decide what is best to be done. To
60 forward seems to be dangerous, and to 60
back appears to be hopeless experiment.
Under such circumstances, our duty is dis
charged by standing still, until God reveals,
by the workings of his providence, what must
be DONE 1t requires no small amount Of
grace to wait patiently on the developments
of Divine Providence. Human nature is
fretful and impatient when surrounded on all
sides by imminent danger. 1t is ready either
to make desperate charge into the jaws of
yawning destruction or painting with fear, re-
treats into the embrace of remediless ruin.
Every event that transpires around us, is, in
some way, connected with some future develop
ment in which we,as individuals, are deeply in
terested. From various causes it is difficult for
such short sighted creatures as we are to in
terpret, correctly, transpiring events. 1t is
our duty to attempt to solve them but when
a correct solution battles our efforts, our duty
is to stand still and see the salvation of God.

A MANY-S1DED MAN-In obtaining jury
for the Titon-Beecher trial at Brooklyn, N.
Y, much merriment in court was caused by
the conduct of Edward F. Daley, man who
was examined as juror. One of the counsel
asked him if he had expressed an opinion.
~ have made it point to agree with every
opinion expressed to me" was the reply.
"But you did not express your own opin-
ion ?"
"Oh no, no." was the vivacious reply
"If anybody said that Beecber was guilty,
l said 1 thought so too and if anybody said
Tilton lied, agreed to that. They didn't
agree in their statements, and of course l
couldn't believe both. In fact l can't be-
lieve either
At this everybody laughed. Mr. Tilton
laughed as loud and long as any one, and
Judge Nelson Strengthened back and joined
in. The witty jurors face wore puzzled ex-
preston, as though he couldn't imagine why
they laughed. Under further questioning he
said that he had an impression, but not an
opinion. He rather thought it would require
evidence to change his impression. He was
told to stand aside.

How HE CANE TO BE A DRUNKARD.-
"How came you to be drunkard ?" asked a
friend of Tom Marshall, in conversation
with him. "Well, will tell you all about
that" said Tom. 81 graduated in law in
Lexington, with the celebrated divine, Rev.
r. l. Breckenridge, and our friends thought
we were the intellectual wonders of the age,
and they advised us by way of taking high
position at once, to attack Henry Clay, then
in the prime of his fame and power, upon the
first opportunity which presented itself The
opportunity soon came. We we're both en-
ployed in case in opposition to him. Bob
made speech and made aspeech, and our
friends congratulated us on our tremendous
speeches, and we were basking in the sunshine
Of our coming prosperity, when the old lion
arose, and with one sweep of his paw he drove
Bob to the Bible and me to the bottle, where
we have been ever since.'

in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the limited States while it is confidently claimed
that thew are the CHEAPEST. All the usual

with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentally broken at any time, we can replace 1t at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is home production, but on account OF Its lntrln-
sic merits as an article of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More

THE YORKVILLEENQUIRER
VOLUME 2l--lS75.
ATTRACTIVE ORIGINAL STORIES.
PREMIUMS FOE CLUBS.

VXIITII the new year. the ENQUIRER will
w enter upon its TWENTY FIRST VOL
UME; and in making our regular annual an
nouncement, can promise greater attractions,
owing to increased facilities in every department,
than we have heretofore been enabled to present.
AS Il non-partsan Independent family news
paper, the future editorial conduct Of the EN-
QUIRER can be as well Judged by the past, as by
any promise which we might now feel disposed
to make. An experience Of fthirty-four years in
the newspaper business, seventeen of which have
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER, fully convinces the proprie.
tor that the plan he adopted on assuming control
of the paper, is the correct mode Of journalism in
the present day. The true mission of a newspa-
per is place before the public facts they exist
unbiased by partisan feeling or sinister motives,
and the propriety Of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success of the ENQUIRER,
which can truthfully claim the largest circulation
of any country paper in the South, but also by
many other of the most popular and wldely-circu-
lated papers Of the day. The course thus indica-
ted we shall continue to pursue, aiming to pub
lish LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPA-
PER, which shall be welcome visitor to the
Home Circle, and acceptable alike to all classes
of readers. Hence, the news department OF the
ENQUIRER, whether of matters at home or
abroad-politcal or otherwise-will be guarded
with the utmost care, and only facts as they may
seem to exist, will be presented, free from per-
cona1 septiona1 Or Marty has

will be especially beneficial to soils where
there is redundancy of vegetable matter.
We would advise our farmers, in some places,
especially in new forest lands recently clear

experiment, and see whether it is not deserv.
ing of the high recommendation it secures.

ASrRANGER IN WAsHINGToN.-One night,
during the month of December, when the
moon was full and shining bright, two men,
who had fingered long where the wine was
red and flowing. started at late hour for
their homes. On the way a difference arose
between them, as to whether it was the sun or
moon that was lighting them on their way
they were becoming somewhat animated in
the expression of their opinions, when third
party was discovered approaching them, to
whom they agreed to leave their disagreement
for final decision. After looking moment
at the great planet, he said, "Gentlemen, |
am stranger in the city, and am not able
to decide, this being my first visit to Wash
lngton."

TRUTHFUL JAMEs.-He didn't look like a
liar. He had, in fact, George Washington
sort of face, and his enuncation was loudly
honest and decidedly nasal. He sat roasting
his alternate sides in front of red.hot saloon
stove, amid party of bummers who were try,
ing to outlie each other.
"Talkin' about lightnin', " said he, II reck-
on none O. you lazzaroni was ever struck, was
you? No? Well, l was. You see I was
out shootin' prairie chickens in Eelinoy, last
August, and there come up the awfulest thun-
der storm ever see in the whole course OF
my life. 1t rained cats and dogs, and the
thunder rolled and the forked lightnin' darted
all over the sky like fiery tongues. I got be-
hind haystack that sort O leaned over to
the south, and the first thing 1 knowed the
lightnin' struck that and set it fire. Then
| moved to walnut tree that stood near and
a double tinted bolt ripped that into splint-
ers. / moved to another tree, and the light
min struck it. Then I begun to think it
meant me, and so I jest walked out, bumped
myself up, and took three or four of the hard
est claps lever heerd. 1t shuk me up right
peart; but beyond rippin' the coat often my
back and splittin' one of my boots from top
to toe, it didn't do me any particular damage.
But you don't find old Jim around huntin' a
row of that kind agin."
The discounted bummers looked into each
others faces moment, and then, one by one,
silently rose and sneaked out, leaving truthful
James master of the field.
