An interesting meeting of the Mt.
Zion Society was held on Tuesday.
The committee on repairs and fnrni-
ture made their report, and the
Society determined to make the
improvements. Mr.. James b. Nc
Cants donated globe, and the
Society purchased maps and provi~
ded for the repairs on the building.
The masons will set to work imme-
dlately. This timely action of the
Society is wise, as the repairs re-
quired are not extensive now, but
are necessary to prevent considera-
BILE damage to the building.
We are pleased also to note the
reviving interest taken in Mt. Zion.
The success of any institution de-
pends to large amount upon the
interest it's patrons take in it,

We have heard it suggested that
the Gordon Light Infantry, Hamp-
ton Rife Guard, and the ,4rcenbrier
Rifles, the only three military infan-
try companies in our county, might
unite in the formation of an
independent battalion. The sup>
gestion strikes us a good one.
These companies are accessible to
each other, and their union would
doubtless conduce greatly to their
mutual welfare. We commend tho
matter to the consideration of those
Interested.

Sly heart may oft be weary,
My cup no sweet sustain,
But when the darkest hours apLsar
My heart will turn TO thee,
And cast away lis doubt and fear,
For you wiR pray for me
The friends I love may leave me.
BE called away by death
Or even may deceive me
Prove false as 1ecliDg breath
But you will never wound my heart,
Never prove untrue.
For ever 10 my memory start
The words, Il pray Tor YOU
My life may have II pleasures,
Its bright and happy bcur..
When earth will bring its treasures
Aud slrew my path with flowers
Bu, nothing can sich JOY a1ori
AS once my spirit knew.
When sitting by your side, beard
These words Il pray for you
When or lifc's stormy ocean
The billows round me rise.
In hercc and wild commotion,
Aud hope Of succor dies,
Ny heart with all its thoughts extend
Across that raging sea,
Until they cling around tho frioni
Who said, 81 pray for thee"
o. may these prayers attend me,
Through every scene OF life !
From evil to defend me
To my shield ia strife.
And when the long fight Is Ger.
The imprisoned spirit free,
Upon that bright. celestial shore
May you still pray for ne.
