SHOCKING TRAGEDY-WYrHEvILLE,
Va, July I9.-Our community was
startled this morning by the shocking
information that Charles NJ. Williams,
who resides at the depot in this place,
and is employed by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, had shot aud kill.
J. r. Dickerson, the depot agent here.
The facts, as far as have been abe to
gather them, are these Williams be-
came aprrised yesterdy evening for the
first time that lis only daughter about
twenty years OF age, was cncteni', and
upon inquiry as TO who was the author
OF her ruin he was informed that it was
Dickerson.
DICKERSoN CHARGED WITH THE CRIME.
lie Immediately, as it is said, called
upon Dckerson, charged him with the
seduction, and informed him if he did
not marry his daughter he would kill
him. Dickerson failing TO give him
satisfaction at the time, he (Williams)
said he would give him until 8 o'clock
next morning to make up his mind.
This morning he is said to have again
called on Dickerson and demanded to
know whether he intended TO marry
his daughter, and again left without
getting satisfaction.
In a short time he reappeared at the
depot with shotgun in his hands.
KILLED WHILE COPYING PSALM.
While Dickerson was engaged with
his assistant in copying the one hun
dred and nineteenth Psalm Gor what
purpose | know noO Williams took
deliberate aim AMI lodged eight or nine
buckshot in the left side Of Dickerson's
face completely mashing both his mp
per and lower jaws, atoms of the shot
coming out on the neck on the opposite
side Dickerson, who seemed 10 have
teen unaware of the presence Of Will
l;ams. uttered the exclamation "My
God - the last and only words he ever
spoke after being shot. In four minutes
afterwards he expired ia sitting pos
ture on the sofa, where he was at the
time

Starting i'm Life.

Life is a strange journey upon steep
hill, and always steepest at the start.
Like starting boat, 4 ship, or loco
motive, the dead Etc comes at the be-
gining. 1t takes less steam when the
wheels are in motion.
Thousands of merchants, lawy era,
doctors and thinkers have struggled for
n lite time without the accident of
success, for success seems more acci-
dental than common. But in the world
at large cases are rare OF real merit long
unrewarded, where all the means at
hand are carefully utilized
Starting i'll life, like starting in \
race, is not sure index OF winning.
Trained muscles and iron endurance are
equally essential. So in the race of
men AMI animals. SO in the business
world; the deep thinker may rest Ger
tain OF safer voyage ;han the reckless
navigator. Here at the very threshold
must be brought knowledge, trained
and mastered, and ready for the real
work hch lies before us.
The dream of youth is never forgot
ten. and the child should be fed upon
fact, aud reared upon reason; instead of
the faucitS aud iictions Of expected
greatness, the truer teachings Of realty
should earlier be enforced.
The dream OF childhood should be
turned to nature-a fathers best fortune
10 a child is n cultivated brain. Its
more than miliions-lt lasts for, yer
Fed on the fancy that iolune is easy
of acquiring in some far of country,
bows are led To abondon home society
fol risk or venture, without the truth
before them that industry and character
are the parents Of good luck, and that,
away off in an unknown climate, they
ale little prepared to meet what awaits
them.
There they mnst create 4 confidence
acquired at home; aud confidence,
SAYS Richclcu, lis y capital OH which
we can always safely draw.
What world of capital is wasted
every year by rowing men aud women
who follow the dclusiOn that fortune Is
always in tar-otl country What i
vast of force in hunting after happiness.
As well look for pruncs on peach trees,
or beauty in m alligator Happiness is
always at home and within reach.
For the most part, lite is a struggle;
success and defeat follow each other in
close succession sorrow trcads closely
on the heels OF JOY.
TO find man or \ woman who has
passed lifetime of happiness, is TO SEQ
rare specimen of nature. II lisa great
deal more likely they have had their
ups aud dowus-somc OF them q great
many times before they gained foot
hold. But their secret has been 10
forget trouble-to let it go--to pass on,
! to take new course, and succeed Ia
something else. Have they started
wrong! SO have thouSands-so viii
thousands for ages to come. But 10
scorn trouble, 10 correct errors, 10 right
wrongs and keep moving, that's tho
secret oftrue independence.

WHAT CAN YOUNG MAN DO

What can young man do3 Do!
he has immense power for evil and tor
good. He can RUN mis- health; he can
debase his intellect; he can murder his
conscieuce-he can deaden aud destroy
il; he can deteriorate his moral taste
and his moral feelings; he can fill his
mind with gress and debasing imagery,
and his mouth with impurity; he can be-
come sensual and disgusting in his
habits; he can lose the confidence OF
society; he can lose his situation; he can
DC cast of upon the world, as a thng
that cannot be trusted; he can become
coulemptlUle; he can break his fathers
heart; he can make anguish come down
like dark cloud, aud press upon the
brow Of his mother, and upon the coun-
teuance of his sisters. y yonng man
can do al thiS-can act SO that his very
friends shall never wish to hear his
name, and shall only secretly in their
hearts, follow him with their auXietles
and their prayers.
What eau a young man dos Do!
lie eau cleanse his way according to
Gods Word. lie can seek to under
stand the Scriptures;to lovethe Saviour;
to love Gods Word; to save his soul
alive. He can flee to the fountain Of
reconcilliation; he can become holy
man; he can be virtuous citizen; he
may be the pride of his family; he can
take his youn-s brothers, and lead them
forward in life; he can extend the IN
tiuence of a Christian pastor; he can be
his right hand in efforts to be good; he
can take an interest in all the great
movements of The day: he may die a
happy man, with his children and his
grandchildren around his bed, and pass
from the dissolution OF the tabernacle
on earth TO an Inheritance on high. He
can DC all that; young man can do 1t
all.
Only let him take heed to his way,
according to Gods Word Let him
begin 10 mediate upon this Word rs
the rule of the Divine government; he
will soon see the necessity OF that medl-
atorial and restorative process which Is
brought to light in the Lord Jesus
the Fountain open fol sin and uncIean-
ness. Let him then go on, from time
to time, putting away everything that
he feels to be wrong, trying to conquer
every bad habit aud to regulate his con
duet by Gods Word; and he will be
led to rejoice in the sanctifying spirit,
who shall carry on this work. But it
is no use your pretending to desire the
pardon of sin and reconciliation by the
blood OF Christ, if you do not put away
every evil thing, ard seek to cleanse
your way, according to Gods Word.
The two things must advance together,
the putting away everything practically
wrong and the seeking after that truth
which is according to Gods Word. =
Rev. Thomas BHncy.

MOONLIGHT ON THE GRAVES.

1t shineth on the quiet graves,
Where weary ones have gone;
1t watchsth with angelic gaze
Where the dead are left alone.
And not a round of busy life
TO the still graveyard comes,
But peacefully the sleepers lie
Down in their quiet homes.
All silently and solernnly
1t throweth shadows round;
And every gravestone hath trace
In darkness on the ground.
1t looketh on the tiny mound
Where little child is laid,
1t lighteth up the marble pile
Which human pride hath made.
1t falleth with unaltered ray
On the simple and the stern,
And showeth with solemn light
The sorrows we must learn.
1t teleth of divided ties
On which its beams have shone,
1t whispereth of broken hearts
Which brokenly live on.
II gleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side,
1t falleth where the maiden rests
Who in her beauty died.
There is no grave in oil the earth
Which moonlight hath not seen,
1t gazeth cold and pashlonless
Where agony hath been.
But it is well. That changeless ray
A deeper thought should throw,
Where mortal love pour forth the tide
Of unavailing woe.
1t teaches US no shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky;
That all our sorrow liveth here,
The glory is on high !!
