the observers to suppose that the build

IdIeneSS and Sin.

Some temptations come TO the in
dustrious but all temptations attack
the idle. Idle Christians are not
tempted of the devil so much as they
do prompt the devil to tempt them.
IdIeness sets the door of the heart
ajar, and asks Satan to come in, but
if we are occupied from morning till
night, should Satan get in, he must
break through the door. Under
sovereign grace, and next TO faith,
there is no better shield against
temptation than obedience to the
precept that ye be mot siothful in
business fervent in spirit, serving
the Lord

Miners VS.. COnVicts.

A committee of three appointed
by the miners at Coal Creek Mines,
in Anderson county, East Tennes-

and visited Governor Porter at the
Capitol. They are here for the pur-
pose of comforting with the lessees of
the peniteutiary in regard to the re-
port that the latter were going to
place convicts at work in the mines.
The miners say that they are oppos-
ed to such a movement, and that if
it should be carried into effect it
would be ruinous to their interests
There is small colony of them a:

properly there. They claim that if
their places in the mines are filled
with convicts they will perhaps be
compelled to leave that section of
the country.
1t has been rumored in East Ten.

themselves and drilling every night,
and that it is their intention not to
allow the convicts to go there. Gov

on the part of the miners. Cover
nor Porter has no power to Interfere
in the matter unless snch state of
affairs should exist as to necessitate
the calling out of the State troops,

How Little We Know.

How little we know of each other,
We pass through the journey of life,
With its struggles, its fears and temptations
It's heart-breaking cares and its strifes!
We can only see thinks on the surface,
For few people glory in sin,
And an unrufied face is no index
To the tumult which RACES within.
How little we know of each otherl
The man who to-day passes by
Blessed with fortune and honor and titles,
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry dread secret with him
Which makes his bosom hell,
And he, sooner or later, q feloH,
May write in the prisoners cell
How little we know of each other!
That woman of fashion, who sneers
At the poor girl betrayed and abandoned,
And left to her sighs and her tears,
May, ere the snn ris es tomorrow,
Have the mask rude1y torn from her face,
And sink from the height OF her glory,
To the dark shades of shame and disgrace.
How little we know of each otheri
Of ourselves too little we know;
We are all weak when under temptation,
All subject to error and woe,
Then let blessed charity rule us,
Let us put away envy and spite
For the skeleton grim in our closet
May some dry be brought to the light.

Your recen articles on the labor

charlottesville labor is making
to emancipate itself, and you are nc
prophet and entirely deaf to the sui

say that labor strikes are over in
this land. The labor movement is
Communistic but it must not be con
founded with the upriseing in Paris
in 1871. That was struggle simply
for local selfgovernment. 1t was
Paris against Versailles, Republican
ism against Absolutism, and it nec-
essarily attracted to its ranks the
flower of France, its brain and sinew.
the men who have made that nation
prosperous and enabled it to wipe
out its crushing load of debt to Ger
many. That movement for self
government did assume genuine
Communistic phases, and in doing
so gave the world the grandest ex-
ample since '93 when Paris, and a
mob and Danto n, Marat and Robes
pierre, took up the cause of civlliza-
ton and freedom. 1t abolished the
aristocracy in Paris: it eradicated
the blighting evil of prostitution
legalized under your very stable
Government, the Empire which was

as safe at midnight as at midday; it
destroyed priestcraft and replaced
religion with morals, and had it not
been crushed it would have revolu-
tionized France, and, to paraphrase
Bulwer, from the decrepid and feu-
dal ashes of the past would have ris-
en- structure dedicated to liberty
and progress which would have been

And now for what the labor move
