LIBERAL GEMS OF THOUGHT.

We may not like all the company we meet with
but if we are brought in contact with It, we must
make the best Of it.
Character exhibits itself in conduct, guided
and inspired by principle, integrity, and practical
wisdom.-lSamuel Smiles
They who marry for traits of mind and heart
will seldom fail of perennial springs of domestic
enjoyment.
Iregard man as the fruit of the tree of life
and, if he is beyond the fruit the tree cannot go.
-[Wm Denton.
It's not the gale which carries so many on the
rocks or the quicksands. 1t is the silent under.
current.
! II one man conquer in battle q thousand times
a thousand men, and if another man conquer
himself he is the greatest of conquerors.-L Budd-
hist Path of Virtue"
The way to honor true man as he would be
honored, when death forces others to enter upon
his labors, is to continue them as he would have
done had he lived.
Fear and wonder are the chief elements OF su.
perstition These are supplied by ignorance.
Courage and cOmposure come Of knowledge, and
grow with it-[Gerrit Smith.
The true foundation Of Republican Government
is the equal right OF every citizen in his person
and property, and in their management. Try by
this, as tally, every provision of our COnstitu-
ton and see if 1t hargs directly on the will ofths
peopIe,-[JetfersOn.
smile costs the giver nothing, yet 1t is beyond
price to the erring and repentant, the sad and
cherries, the lost and orsaken. It disarma
H.
vsnge to kindness and paves the darkest paths
with gems of sunlight.
Wave after wave rolls inward to the land,
Then comes the wall and then the parting hand,
And those Tor whom we would have freely died
Are borne away upon the ebbing tide;-
We weep and mourn, and bid the sea restore,
1t mOCks our grief-and takes one idol more.
Truth from goodness is soft and gentle; false
hood from evil is hard and fierce; hence the
origin of hard and bitter speeches. Goodness Of
disposition manifests itself by gentleness and
sweetness by gentleness in that it is afraid to do
hurt, and by sweetness in thatitloves to do good.
The true object of education Is not merely to
qualify the pupil for judging what is true or what
is right but to provide that he shall be able to
think what is true and right; that to teach means
more than to inculcate our own opinions or spec.
ulatons and that our business is to make think
ers or inquirers rather than disciples,
To live uprightly and purely in this age Is no
play. A young man who resolves to do 1t must
put himself IS a fencer does, on his guard. A
mild and dove like disposition does not hold
man up to duty at all times. There are the mild,
aud there are also the heroic virtues and both
find their proper moments of expression. There
are times when young man must say mo-" and
a no" that has no possible hint of yes" In 1t.
There are times also, when he must say yes"
and make 1t ring like the blast of trumpet.
Never did young men need this quality and tenn
per more than they do to-day never were there
more opportunities for their exercise.

A CHURCH PANIC.
Terrible Disaster at q Lynch
burg Va, COlored Meeting.
THE RESULT OF FALSE ALARM.
TEN PERSONS KILLED AND UPWARD OF
THIRTY INJURED.

LYNcHBURG, Oct. 16.
A most terrible and heart-rending scene
occurred In this city at ten o'clock to-
night. A marriage ceremony was pro-
crossing at the Court Street Colored
Baptist Church, which was packed to its
utmost capacity. Some of the ceiling
pIastering fell, and the immense crowd
at once became panic stricken aud many
in the galleries jumped from thewindows
of the second and third stories; others
threw themselves headlong down the
stairway on the crowd belew. Men and
women crowded each other to the only
door of exit there was in the lower build
ing, and most of the killed were literally
crushed to death. No men are known
to have been injured. The fire alarm
was sounded at the Fire Department,
military and throngs of citizens were on
the spot promptly to endeavor to allevi-
ate the condition of the suffering and
dying.
The following bodies have been ident-
fep Maria Wilson, Virginia Robinson,
Maria Ransom, Mollle Ward,i Mary
Hedry, Emma Brown, Arena Cox.
Two unknown bodies are in the yard.
Three women are in the church in a
dying condition. The wounded are sup
posed to number at least thirty, who are
being removed in vehicles and on litters
to their homes.
1t is impossible in the confusion to as
certain the exact number injured The
streets are crowded with frantic men and
women searching for their friends. The
colored people seem perfectly horror
stricken, but the whites are rendering
every assistance possible
One of the wounded has just died on
the corner of Church and Seventh Sts.
Many of the wounded, it is feared can
not survive.

DID NOT COME DEE.

On board of the train which leaves
Philadelphia at 1870 p. M, on Tuesday
night, were number of brutal looking
men, who had in charge basket, which
contained an educated fighting bull dog
Upon arriving at the depot in this city
they disembarked from the tram, and
after procuring a hack were driven to
the Schentzen Park. 1t appears that
there had been match made by Phil
adelphla parties to fight bull dogs;the bet
being 81 900 to $500, but upon reaching
the Park, they did not wish the fight to
begin until daylight, aud IA 1t would
have lasted over four hours, the proprie-
tor of the Park refused to allow 1t to
commence at that time as people would
be coming out to the Park to attend the
races. He finally persuaded them to
commence earlier, and after delberarion
the two parties agreed to have their re.
spective dogs ready by 2 o'clock a. m.
After the above arrangements had been
concluded, the parties chmmenced to
quarrel and wrangle, and the match was
given up. They left for PHILADELPHIA
yesterday on different trains thoroughly
disgusted with one another. There are
frequent occurrences of the same kind
taking place at the Park, and the proper
authorities should take some means To
capture these brutes in the shape of man,
and give them little of Delaware Jus.
tice.

There was quite little excitement at
the p. W. IL b. Il. r. depot this morning,
on the departure Of the 9:45 train for
Philadelphia, by boy refusing TO go
with his mother. From what we were
able to learn, the boy had been living in
Ohio, and had come on to see his mother,
and through the persuasion Of some Of his
comrades, refused to return. 1t took the
interference of the police to keep him in
the cars. 1t is to be hoped that proper
sense of duty to his mothers wishes will
prevail with this boy before he reaches
his destination.

Stranger Than Fiction.

A fortnight tago Thomas Lynn was
assailed in lonely spot near New York,
by boy, who demanded his money,
and, upon his refusal, fired at him three
times, the bullets happily being turned
aside by a memorandum book and sus-
pender buckle. The boy who came SO
near being murderer, and two com
panions who watched but did not take
part in tho assault, have been captured,
and tell a dramatic story Incited by
reading dime novels. they had setHotit
with the firm purpose to become high
waymen. Lynn was their first victim.
They were armed with seven-barreled
revolvers, clubs and knives, and intend
ed to 60 to Texas when they had gotten
money for their passage by highway
jobs at home. After Lynn's Sescape,
finding they were unsupported, the 16-
year THO went on the road again, and,
by their queer sections, aroused the sus-
picions of q policeman, who "took
them in" Baldsmeeder, who shot
Lynn, had practiced at q target until be
was an expert, and killed many q dog
to show how well he could shoot. He
is now in jail awaiting trial,

A Newspaper Wonder.

TIE ADVOCATE, Greenback Labor paper,
published in New York, has created marked
excitement among publishers. 1t was begun
in May, 1875, as local paper at Spring Valley,
Rockland County. and on January LIST, 1877,
removed to New York. The first issue in that
year was 43S copies, using twenty-five pounds
of white paper, postage fifty cents, while the
issue of May Odd instant was $4,000 using
near nine tons Of white paper and paying $500
postage. This has been done by discreet but
bold method of advertising. The company
expect to reach a circulation of 1900 900 in
1850, and propose to expend 500, OOo in adver-
Using to secure that end. 1t, during the
months OF June, July, August and September,
through its Advertising Agent, E. Duncan
Sniffen, 81 and 81 Astor House, N. Y, puts its
advertisement of one column into 8, 400 papers,
including the city dailies. If business men
would take courage and show faith In printers
ink, much could be done to dissipate hard
times by reviving business.
