Nh. EDrroR: Stepping into comfortable
vehicle early Saturday morning, III COM
pany with two other friends, I found my
self heading for Broadmouth Church, where
the Unior Meeting and Sunday School
Union of District No. weresto convene,
Nothing transpired to mar our peace, except
thatour good brother who was selected to
drive did not succeed in running over all
theobstructions in the road, After ride
of Is miles we found ourselves at the
Church. AS we were q little late, we found
Bro. W. n. King preaching the doctrinal
sermon, Which, according to appointment,
is preached at IL o'clock Saturday morning.
We do not claim to be able to judge, but we
think he handled his subject well. The
sermon over, an intermission for three
quarters of an hour was given, in which
the inner man partook of the Il must say)
mbounded hospitality Of the Broadmouth
people. I would advise all dyspeptics to
stay away from that neighborhood. Judg-
ing from their tables they have not found
out that we are passing through terrible
crash.
Dinner over, the congregation repaired
to the Church, and Bro. Mike MCGEE
preached a most excellent sermon. FL
had not known Bro. MCGEE, I should have
concluded that he had borrowed from some
sermon book,
We were assigned to Bro. J. R. Latimer's,
who by the by belongs to that same Broad
mouth crowd, that makes one feel when he
leaves there that he will never want any
thing more to eat. s
The order of the day for Sunday was for
the choir to meet at 8 o'clock, sing until 10
o'clock, when the Sunday School Union
was called to order by the Superintendent,
NJ. P. Tibble. This was its second meeting,
and q glorious one It was. The cause in
District No. 2 is in healthy condition, and
with the requisite amount of energy our
Union will do much good. Some eight or
nine schools made cheering reports. DR..
W: c. Brown, the appointee from last meet:
ing, delivered one of those Sunday School
addresses that makes man feel glad that
he is Sunday School scholar.
The programme was arranged so as to
have singing, which was conducted by the
Messrs. Kays, the singers Of all this up
country. Mr.. B. D. Dean, Mike MCGEE
and NJ. P. Tribble made short addresses.
II o'clock, the hour for intermission, COM
ing ons the congregation was dismissed,
and oh me, those'big baskets !, Suffice it to
say that my friends, Crymes and Burgess,
got home, but consultation YVES early
sought with she family physician. Elder
w. II. King preached the missionary ser
mon at o'clock, after which the onion
Meeting adjourned to meet with Dorchester
Church Friday before the fifth Sunday in
September, at which time J. NJ. Hamlin,
Thomas Crymes, N. P. Tribble and J. B.
Carpenter were appointed to make addresses
at the next meeting. c. e. n.

Liver is King.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are tile natural result. The diges.-
ton of food, the movements of the heart
and blood, the action of the brain and nery--
GUS system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings of the Liver. 1t has been

RAISE MORE SHEEP.
Our Homo journal.

During the year 1877 the United States
imported 81, I56. .944 worth of wool. The
importation of man nufactured wooden goods
during the same time amounted to $32,-
900, 600.
This enormous sum of money might have
been kept in the country as we'll as not. It
would have added just 80 much to our real
wealth. 1t would have done more-it
would have given employment to thousands
of laboring men, women and children, and
increased our manufacturing interests and
sources OF prosperity.
1t SCENE strange that so much money
should be allowed to leave the country,
each year, when our whole area is espe-
cially adapted to sheep raising. From the
st. Lawrence TO the Gulf, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, sheep find genial home.
They are q source of revenue among the
rock clad hills of New England and on
the wild prairies of Western Texas. Their
wool and their flesh are staple articles of
commerce, and their skins are in demand
for many purposes.

A negro preacher who had married rath-
er sooner after the death of his wife than
some of the sisters thought proper and
becoming, excused himself as follows {:
"My dear bredderin and sisters, my grief
was greater than / could bare. l turned
ebery way for peace and comfort but none
came. searched de Scripture from Genisee
Co Rebelaticn, and found plenty promises
to de widder but nary one to de widerer.
So took dat de Lord didn't waste any
sympathy on man when it was in his
power to comfort hisself, and haviR' q
fust- rate chance to marry did so, and
would do 60 again. Besides, bredderiD, 1
considered dat poor Patsey was jess as
dead as she wonid ever be.
Another negro preacher in Georgia, in
the course of his sermon gave this capital
illustration. He was preaching about the
parable of the ten talents, and frequently
interrupted himself to lean over his pulpit
and shout impressively-"You see dat
brudderl You see dat, sister it say ebery
man and it mean ebery woman too-ebery
man his work, not ebery man work, or
ebeTy man some work, but so to speak, as

A man at Albany, VT, who had been 0
sufferer from dyspepsia for twenty years,
died last week, and some peculiar circum
stances in his case led to u post nsoTteDs
examination. This revealed In the lower
end Of the stomach thirteen well preserved
cherry stones SO imbedded IN the lining Of
the stomach as not to be discoverable to
the eye, and causing thickening of the
stomach case some three -fourtbs of an inch.
These stones had worn o hole through the
stomach, and death was caused by dropsy,
or drowning. It was the opinion of the
physician that these stones had been there
for many years.

MORE OF THE MYSTERY OF THE MIND The
following Psychological incident: which was
told TO me by q gentleman of undoubt
verscity, may prove of interest to those of
your readers who are studying the occult
phases of nervous phenomena. The narrator,
q sman of fine nervous organization, WAS
taking his afternoon sissta; his daughter, g
young lady of seventeen, sitting by his
side, with her hand in his, aud reading.
As he passed from the wakeful state into
one of ssmi-slumber, he saw, or seemed to
zee, appear at the foot of his bed tall man
with q sorro owful expression upon his face.
who. bending down tenderly, lifted mp g coffin
and disappeared. He was 80 disturbed by the
strange and uuaeoountsble nature of his
vision that, after tossing restlessly for few
moments. he opened his eyes and said,
Daughter, believe I cannot sleep to-day,
aud will get up." Looking up from her b ook,
in which she was evidently deeply absorbed,
she said, "Pspa, this is q strange book that
am readiDg.n "What is it Z" said he. "The
Life of Marie Antoinette,'" she replied, and
then read from the pages before her q recital
of the exact incident that had ust constituted

ON TIE WILDERNESS
CAMPAIGN.
New York Hsrald.


My own views of the water route are on
record in my report to President Lincoln.
Under no circumstances would criticize
General Grant and his Wilderness cam
psign. have seen 90 much wild and
foolish criticism of movements and acts by
those ignorant of the governing facts
have seen there the General became very
emphstic, as if speaking from personal
experience) so much iDtustice done to men,
to their acts and to their motives, that
have learned to be cautious about criti
cism and to be charitable in my conclu-
sions. While desire to be distinctly un
derstood as saying that have never wav-
cred in my belief that the overland route
in the movement on Richmond was not the
true and wise one, and that the water route
was, am free to say that it is possible
that, had been in General Grants posi-
tioB, having his lights and information,
might have done exactly as he did. The
general In command is the only one who,
having all the information, can properly
decide what 10 best to be done. As for
General Grant. he and have always been
on the friendliest terms, and uoder no
could be induced to criticise
bis military movemente.
