One ofthe most agreeable materials
for curtaining windows is coarse un-
bleached cotton. The irregularity Of
the thread and the roughness of the
surface gives its soft fold much of the
charm Of a Russia crash, and its hue
warns the liz ht Of cool windows al

Unleayened Bread.

We are indebted to Mrs. Nisanska
of this village for a supply of un-
leaveued bread. Unleavened bread is
that bread which is made simply OF
-four and water. and is the only bread
eaten by religious Israelites during
holy week, or the V days imme-
dtately preceding the passover, or the
beginning of u new Israelitish year,
which commences on Easter Sunday.
On the day before the israelites were
driven out of the land of Egypt, the
Lord told Moses. and Aaron that he
you'd that night pass through the
'and Of Egypt and slnite the irst-born
of all the Egyptians, but at the same
time promised protection to his own
chosen people, instructing them to
kill q lamb AND take Of the blood
and strike it on the side parts and on
the upper door posts Of the houses" of
all the Israelites, wherein they had
eaten Of the lamb and the unleavened
bread. After which Moses called the
Elders Of Israel together, and directed
them to kill in each family a lamb,
and commanded them to take q bunch
Of hissop aud dip it in the blood and
strike the door posts and lintels, assur-
ing them that the Lord had promised,
when he would pass through the coun-
try that night to snite the first born OF
all the Egyptians, that he would pass
over the doors Of the houses upon
which he saw the blood, and would
not allow the destroyer to enter, of
smite the occupants Of. the house up
on which the blood of the lamb was
found.
This custom the Israelites and their
sons were commanded to observe for
ever; and hence to this day all good
Jews eat ~unleavened bread and kill
the paschal lamb.

Trinity Church.

At a congregational meeting held
yesterday morning, the Rector made a
short report o. the statistics, . d
sion and prospects of this church. His
remarks were supplemented 10y others
from Mr.. w. H. Parker. MI. ker-
shaw in all ding to the affairs of the
Parish said he saw nc reasons for be-
ing discouraged at our condition.
The statistics Of the church are in
tercsting. SiNty-three baptisIns in
the last decahe-twelve in the past
fifteen months. Losses by death
twenty-seveu in the same time ten
years. Number of communicates
fiifty-eight, the same as on January l,
1858, nine years ago. Losses by re-
inovals very heavy. In q period of
two years not less than six young lady
members had married aud gone away.
Although these losses have been made
up to this immediate church, they
have gone to swell the congregations
Of this denomination elsewhere.
Thirty-five years ago the church
was founded here by four persons-two
male an two female members. OF
these but two remain ut present.
Mrs. Ellen Parker and Mr.. Thomas
Jackson. From this small beginning
the church went on until at the be-
ginning Of the war, it was Il of the
most fiourishing in the up.country If
not in the diocese.

Will Compare With any IN the State.

Our neighbor of the BarnueN Scnt'-
mel last week was pleased to make the
following notice of our paper:
The 66eUilie Press and Banner, al
though it uses a patent outside gets up
an inside that will compare with any III
the State"
knowing our friends prejudice
against the use Of patent outsides,. we
appreciate the notice, and thank hin.
for it.
AS it has never been denied that the
patent outsides are edited with more
ability than n]ine-tenths Of the home
printed outsides we may conclude that
the Sentinel. like our subscribers, lss Il
high regard of our paper as q Whole.
IF the Sentinel would adopt the plan
he would find it to his own advantage
and greatly to the benefit of his read
erS. -,
If the home-printed papers were not
Jealous of the plan, why abuse 1T ?
We set in this office more matter Tor
our inside, than do nine-tenths of the
home printed papers for their entire
paper outside and inside, and publish
perhaps four times as much as half OF
that number, and in no single instance
have we noticed a paper ~endeavoring
to bring the plan into disfavor, who
sets I'D more matter than we do or
who publishes half as much. The
Sentinel is a good paper now, but he
could publish the whole of what he
sets on the inside Of a patent outside.
People do not read by the square inch,
as many editors seem to think, but
they are quick judges of the papers in
which they get the most reading mat
ter, and GENERALLY exercise the same
discretion in buying papers that they
do in any other business transaction,
and y large proportion OF the people,
the quality being equal or better, will
buy where they a get the O for
their money. If the editor of the Sen
tinel would use smaller type, and set
it solid. he could publish as much on
the inside of q patent outside, as he
o publishes on the four pages of
his paper. He would have more sub
scribers and those he already has
would pay more cheerfully. This Is
our experience and we have tried the
plan for more than q year. In this
we have never attempted to deceive
our subscribers. They all know we
use the patent outside and acknowl-
egde the improvement in our paper.
Some of our brethren have attempted
to adopt the plan without informing
their readers, as if that was something
to dread, in letting people know that
they are enterprising enough to adopt
any plan that would mutually benefit
publisher and reader.

Farmers Buying Corn.

The following well-timed remarks
of the Pickens Sentinel. will apply as
we'll to this community as Pickens
1--WE notice some of our farmers buying
corn, who would have corn to sell if they
would only plant less cotton. The cotton
money is all spent for household necessa-
ries and in paying that guano bill of last
year. If you had plenty of corn in your
crib to do you, and some TO sell, don't you
think You would feel much better. Yes,
but I am indebt, and must 60 in further
this year for corn, and how am to get
out without I plant more cotton. I will
plant q good deal this year and get out Of
debt, and then quit it. And thus it is,
and will ever be until you raise all your
own provisions. AS long as you hang on
to cotton to the exclusion Of tho small
grains, you will continue to be in debt,
and grow poorer every year."
