METHODIST SUNDAY-SCHooL SoclETY.-A
special meeting of this Society was held at
Sidney Methodist church on Sunday otter
noon at 81 O'Clock. A. L. West, president:
C. z. Rady, secretary.
The exercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. w. w. Bennett and singing by the
Sidney school.
! Thompson Brown, superintendent of
Sidney school, extended hearty welcome to
the Society and friends, which was responded
to very pleasantly by Mr.. A. l.. West, presi-
dent of the Society. A.
Rev. A. c. Bledsoe then addressed the
meeting. Subject: What Is the value OF
the sunday SCHOOL," Though the Sunday
school is doing such great and sooa WORK,
vet If ia lust in its infaney-just unfolding lis
trne value. To estimate the value of the
sunday school we must estimate the value OF
children. Children are valuable for more
things than mere show and household utility.
They have a moral and spiritual value to the
| CnuIch, the community, and the nation al
| ,aroe. Those nations that have paid most
attention to children eyince higher state OF
civilization. 1t is an evidence OF moral
deyrad4tion to neglect children. The chill
dren of our communities are the future men
an wemen of the Church and the state. Like
the SpartanS, we must refuse to deliver up
orr children TO evil Influences. We must
keen the children, and educate them TO oe
GOOD and useful in their day and generation.
The Sunday school proposes TO 90 tE.s
Great aud good work. The grandest Work
Of this aye is the Sunday .chooi work, sinee
it deals With the children. Next to the pull
nil. il is doing more good thar any other
work. Il is The grandeur of the truth:

The future of our nation depends on the
moral trimming of the children; ana 'ney
must receive this training in the SUNDAY
school and at the plterual knee. Close me

The Osceola times., 1875-10-23

A readiness in unravelling the threads of
human sentiment and purpose has al
ways been looked on as a ground for self
graduation and for the admiration of
Others. A man who &inks himself ca
pabe of divining inSantaneously an
others unspoken thoughts has not only
| the pleasing Consciousness of power
which every supposition of knowledge
brings with it, but also a gratifying feel
ing OF equality with this second person
That is to say, he thinks himself on a
level with this other in respect TO the
knowledge of any thoughts or impulses
which may occur to him. Not only So
but the assumption of this omniscient
insight into charScterewill pretty GER
tainly inspire awe if not dread, in MANY
other minds, so that the man or woman
who can make any pretensions to this
fine penetration will be able to indulge
in the most delicious emotions of power
and superiority. A supposition 50 in
tensely gratifying as this must be will
pretty certainly be secure from that
close scrutiny and careful veritication
which alone would prove its validity.
The feelings which predispose men to
entertain priori a certain kind of notion
respecting the character of Others are
too numerous to be dwelt on here. 1t
may suffice to mention few of them.
There is the desire for sympathy, which
is very strong in most minds, and which
prompts person to anticipate that
every new character will respond in a
kind of grateful resonance to his indivi-
dual sentiments Then there are the
impulses of love and admiration which
predispose the mind to believe in human
goodness and render it optimistic in its
conceptions of character. On the other
hand, there are the less pleasing senti-
ments of distrust, hostility, and con
tempt, which sustain the conception
that everybody is mean and ignoble till
he has proved himself to be the contrary.
These and other feelings always dispose
their possessols to form certain opinions
'especting any new character long before
the; have the necessary foundation for
such opinions. To any one who will
give himself the trouble OF working out
the many and complicated influences
which tend to produce conviction re-
specting matters Of character, quite apart
from the force of evidence, it can not be
surprising that peoples judgments on
the ideas and motives Of Others are often
so crude and inexact, and 50 little de-
serving to be called intuitions.

a DOUBLE HARVEST

A farmer sat at his kitchen door,
Smoking his MONDAY pipe,
And over the fields his ewes were as.
Where the grain ~ golden ripe,
Nodded away
Through the summer day.
With shadows aud sunshine hard q, play
DOwn by the gate the farmer saw
tAnd he chuckled low in glee
Two, who whispered together there
go" said the farmer. see
II guess Alright,
And their skies are bright
There'll be harvesting soon with mair and nigh I.
The weeks went by, aud the old barn groancd
With the might of harvest store;
But he farmer laughed, for wellhe
There remained one harvest MORE
Since Cupid had sown,
With grain OF his own,
\ crop that love must harvest alone.
The farmer sat at his kitchen door,
When the evening meal was done,
And he laid kiss on his daughters brow,
And welcomed his new-found son;
And the harvest time,
With wedding bells chime,
sang its days into merry rhyme.
