Rock of Ases, cleft xnr me,

And her voices EeDt,e 60w
Rose upon TIE eFening air
Win thny sweet and solemn prayer:
ssock Of Ages. cleft tor me,
Let me hide myself In theep'
Yet she sang as oft she had
When her heart was gay and glad
Sang because she felt alone,
sang because her soul had grown
Wary with the tedious day;
Sang to while the hours away.
Rock OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in theei"
Where the 6tful gaslight falls
pn her fathers massive walls,
on the chill and silent street
Where this lights and shadOss meet;
There the lady's voice wac heard,
As the breath Of night was stirred
WITH her tones so sweet and clear,
Waiting up 20 God that prayer:
Rock OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"s
Wandering, homeless thro' the night,
Praying for the morning light,
Pale and haggRrd, wan and weak,
With sunken eye and hollow cheek,
Went a woman, one whose life
Had been wrecked in stu and strife,
One, lost ana only child,
One by sin and shame defled
And her heart with sorrow wTung,
Heard the lady when sse sung
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide 10 yselt in thee :"
Pausing, low her head she bent,
And the music as IL went
Pierced her hlackened soul, and brought
Back TO her las lost in thought
IrefeO ingly, she stOodl the Past,
Aud the burning tears fell fast,
As she called 10 mind the days
When she walked in virtues ways;
When She sang that very song
With no sense Of sin or wrong:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee 20
On the marble steps she knelt,
And her soul that moment felt
More than she could speak. as there
Delivering, moved her lips in prayer,
And the God she had forgot
Smiled upon her lonely lot;
Heard her as she murmured Oft,
With an accent sweet and soft,
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself IN thee :"
Little knew the lady iair
As she sang in silence there,
Hhat her voice had pierced soul,
That had lived meath sins control
Little knew, when she had done,
That lost and eriing one
Heard her-ss she breathed that strain
And returned to God sgain

A Practical Story for Boys.

Business men seldom write stories,
but New York employer sends US the
following sketch, which has q very
practical lesson for class OF boys:
1t often happens that lad applies by
letter for a business situation. He is
invited to call by the employer to whom
the application is sent. The employer
shows him that the duties are RESPONSE
bic, the opportunities for learning the
business and for being advanced to the
charge of a department with liberal
compensation are such as rarely occur,
names fair wages at the outset, and
reserves his decision, that he may
compare the boys qualifications with
those of other applicants and select the
best.
In few days the lad is sent fer to call
again, the employer intending to give
him the preference for the position.
After several DAYS delay postal card
is received from the boy. Meanwhile, in
consequence of the delay, another young
man is engaged for the position. The
postal reads as follows:
DEAR SIR-Yours received in reply,
don't feel as if I would like to come for
that salary unless got advanced very
soon. 1 desire a place of this kind,
where, by perseverance, l can advance
myself. / am yours, most respectfully,
Now the compensation offered was fair,
and place of great responsibility in a
rapidly-developing business was standing
wide open, waiting for some one to be
trained to fill it. 1t was a chance that
would vely rarely occur.
Below is the reply of .the would-be
employer to the lad. Judge, boys, who
read this, whether the lad we have de-
scribed or the one referred to in this let
ter acted the wiser part:

we had nothing to report and no
time to do it in.

he will rout him in about a week.
Miss Higdon's school closed last

we hope she may teach for us again.
Little Shady Kellum wants to go

Mr.. J. NJ. Caskey has had a very

produced a spell of fever, but he Is

The sound of new threshers in
this vicinity can be heard on all
sides busily engaged getting out
wheat for the farmers The new
Russell machine owned by Beasley

section and some very much dam

wheat is tolerably good because il
is dry and clean.

The south bound train last Sun
day night came near running on to
about twenty-five negroes-men,
women and children-on the trestle
near the tunnel while crossing over
from church. Some fell off, some
ran back and some went down the
timbers like Lizards, head foremost,
to the ground. Nobody seriously
hurt, but badly scared.

hope she will make her visits more

Mr.. Frank Green had the misfor-
tune to get his arm broken the 9th

spoilt mule when he was thrown of
and a broken limb is the result
No dependendence to be put in a
mule any way.
Mr.. George Smith got his foot
very badly cut on a scvthe blade
not long since, but it was improving
at last accounts.
Your correspondent had the
pleasure of attending the closing ex-
ercises of the Campbellsville Acad
envy last Saturday. The Rev. Mr..
Mcknight and lady are in charge of
the institution, and are giving gen
eral satisfaction. The examination
ana exercises generally reflected
great credit upon the teachers and
pupils. A splendid dinner was
served on the grounds, such a one
as the good people of that place al
ways get up, and everybody did
honor to it in good style. The au-
dience was quiet and respectable.
The closing scene was especially
impressive and was greatly APP
plauded. Mr.. David Bodenhamer
delivered a taking lecture on educa-
ton, urging the necessity of educa-
ting the heart as well as the head.

Rev. r. w. Seay of Marcella
Falls, in company with Mr.. w. ID.
Mooney of Culleoka, visited our
village last week in search Of a SIT
uatioa as school teacher but did
not meet with success. Mr.. Seay
is engaged in soliciting subscrip-
tions to aid in the erection of a
church house near the confluence
of Weakley and Hams creek. The
enterprise, if successful, will add
considerably to that community.
The energetic preacher has sue
ceeded in getting about one hun
bred dollars besides a large lot Of
lumber, and when we consider that
having such thorough going man
at the head, with the names OF such
men as Clayton Witt, John Tarpley
and T. j Kimbrough as building
committee, and backed by the liber-
atty and enterprising spirit Of the
men that comprise that community,
we may be assured Of its success.
Mr.. T. j. Kimbrough has donated
q lot upon which to build the house.
Wheat is ready for the separator,
indeed some Of the farmers have
commenced threshing already, but
do not speak of the turnout in very
fatterlng terms, owing to the rust
| suppose. Some of our neighbors
have bought new threshers, and are
yieing with each other for an equal
share Of the business.
Mr. John die and family, Of
West Tennessee, are visiting rela-

a pleasant time. Miss Fannie Park

looked as lovely as flowers fair, and
and their appearance reminded one

sweetness sits enthroned, upon a

Their character as business men
will insure them a good trade no

squaller of the Fire Company Sun
day night. He rushed along before
it with nothing on but a shirt, his
brooches and one suspender and
squealed: Clear the roadr Esq,
Alexander runs like a cow. He
tore up half the gardens in Bellvue
to get there before the engine, and
was heard to say, as he set almost
breathless on the fence: "Stand
back, boys, and give her a chancew
Mai. Matthews wanted to handle
the big nozzle, but Capt. Martin was
afraid it would squirt him in the
fire. Capt. Irvine climbed a martin
pole and tore his striped Sex, he
hallowed so loud. Mr.. A. L. Crow
was running around the burning
house like a young mule up and
down a lot fence, and every time he
passed the engine he squealed.
DR.. Sumpter gave orders to the fire
boys: "Shoot higher! Back up!
Untwist the nozzle! Lower down!
Pull up further! Shoot quick !
Here's the place to aim! Go slow!
There, by George 1t is thought
that if the boys had needed him the

they did seeing the new engine

Speaker Taliaferro addressed a
court room full of people last Mon
day, giving a succinct account of
himself as their representative,
showing the manner in which he
executed the trust they had con
fided in him. He showed clearly
that he kept every promise he made
the people in the canvass, every
measure he advocated then either
becoming a law or passing three
readings in the House. The show
ing he made of his actions can but
be satisfactory to the people, who
are already proud of his record and
of him. We cannot attempt to de
tail further, as it embraced all the
points made by Mr.. Taliaferro in
his canvass of twenty one speeches.
He did his duty nobly and well, do
ing credit to himself and honor to
his constituents and what more is
demanded? He endorsed the policy
of Hayes SO far as it was good, but
he did not endorse Hayes and his
associates He sand he would ask
instructions from the people on the
State debt question, if an extra ses-
sion was called, He favors now the
acceptance of the 90 cents PROPOSE
ton. He spoke over an hour, and
his audience was exceedingly atten-
tive
