Forest Hill I.yceuin.

The closing meeting of this Lyceum will take
place on Tuesday evening, April 9th, when an
interesting time may be expected. The subject
for discussion will be: "ReSolved, That all old
bachelors shall support all single ladies over
thirty years of age" Also the usual interesting
programme of exercises.
This association during the past winter has
been source of much interest as well as in
struction. Every night of the meeting has wit
messed the house crowded, and sometimes very
much So. 1t has ever been the universal verdict
that the several meetings have been interesting
and instructive. The Forest Star, paper devo-
ted to sense and nonsense, and edited by the
members, has been source of much amusement
and has often shown much talent on the part of
the editor. f. H.

DOES TILE SUN MOVE ?-The colored popu.
1ation of Richmond Va, is greatly agitated
over an astronomical question. Last Sunday
week, Rev. John Jasper, of Mount Zion Col
ored Baptist Church, preached sermon in
which he undertook 10 prove that Coperni-
Gus, Calico and the rest were all wrong in
asserting that the sun stands still and that
the earth revolves around it. He argued that
if The sun stood still, there would have been
no necessity for the command of Joshua /:
"Sun, STAND thou still upon Gideon; and
thou, Moon, in the valley of Atalon" At
the close of his sermon, he said to the vast
congregat ion present, Nov, all you what
believe That the sun do move, hold up your
right hand" and every man, woman and
child in the building elevated n hand, thus
showing that they were convinced by the ar
guments and elaquence of Brother Jasper
that TIE sun moves
Last Sunday night rival negro preacher
DIR. Draper, Of the Methodist church, preach
ed sermon in reply 10 his Baptist brother,
whom he attacked with considerable vigor.
The learned doctor explained the real mean
ing of The scIipural authorities upon which
Jasper relied to prove his theory, and also
quoted from the works of modern astronom-
crs in proofof the accepted theory of the solar
system. lie was listened to attentiyey by
large congregation, but did not seem to
carry all of his auditors with him, for one of
them remarked; "Dat mans talk is all very
good, but he aint stickin' to de Bible" The
controversy, from present appearances, is
waxing warm, and will be continued indefi-
nitely.

TRAMPs.
These thieving, lazy Migrants are here in force
and are serious annoyance to our citizens.
They demand food and lodging in q lofty and
arrogant manner, and If refused they leave, ut
tering threats and curses. If they find ladies
alone they are very impudent and frequently
grossly insulting. Not long since a tramp cali
ed at a respectable farm house and insoently
demanded food. The men were absent, and the
lady gave him large slice of bread and butter
lie ordered her to give him some cream to wash
down the bread. She refused, when he threw
the bread violently in her face and left the pre-
misses uttering the most profane threats A
short time ago two of them chased a young lady
on one Of our public roads, but fortunately a
gentleman came in sight and the tramps bound
ed into the woods and made their escape Dur
ing the cold snap in January, two of the gentry,
n man and u woman, called at farm house and
demanded food and lodging. The kind hearted
gentleman gave them their supper and let them
lodge in his barn, kindly lending them n new
blanket to keep them warm. In the morning
when the host went to his barn they had left
and had stolen his best riding bride.

Sow we now our precious grain,
Thou shalt raise it up again.
Plant we the terrestrial root
That shall bear celestial fruit;
Lay bud within the tomb,
That q flower in heaven may bloom.
Severed are no tender ties,
Though in earth's embrace she lies;
For the lenthening chain of love,
Stretches TO her home above.
Mother, in thy bitter grief,
Let this thought bring sweet relief;
Mother of an angel now,
God himself hath crowned thy brow,
With the thorns thy Saviour wore;
Blessed art thou evermore;
Unto Him thou didst resign
part of the life was thine.
Earth to earth, and dust to dust,
Sad the trial, sweet the trust;
Father thou who see'st Death
Gathering grain at every breath,
Murmur not that now he weaves
This sweet flower into his sheavcs.
Taken in his early prime
Gathered in the summer time;
Autumn's blast she shall not know
Never shrink from winters snow
But unnumbered are thy friends,
And from many home ascends
Earnest, heartfelt prayers for thee,
AS thy days thy strength may be-

Should an eruption occur in this volcano, and
cause the destruction of one half of the inhab-
tants who live in the vicinity, the remainder,
who barely escape with their lives, Immediately
move back upon the half-cooled lava, and there
live in constant fear of another eruption, fool
ishly fancying that the only tenantabe portion
of the earth rests within the shadows of the
great volcano. This fairly illustrates the force
of habit, and the persistency with which people
cling to opinions when once formed. For exam
pie, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
incipient consumption, coughs, colds, and all
affections of the liver and blood, yet some still
depend upon physicians and remedies that have
naught but repeated failures TO which they can
refer. And although Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is sold under positive guarantee to
cure those weaknesses peculiar to women, and
notwithstanding that thousands of women bear
testimony to its efficacy, and the truth of all
statements made concerning it, many yet submit
to the use Of caustic and the knife. Again, Dr..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, no larger
than mustard seeds, will positively cure consti-
patton, where it is dependent upon dyspepsia or
torpid liver; yet some still depend for relief upon
the blue pill' or huge doses of drastic cathartic
medicine. In the face of such facts, can we
