A FORGOTTEN PARAaRApH.-Yo Yosterday
afternoon a boy about twelve years of age
called at the post Office and desired to secure
letter which his mother had posted al
hour before. He described the enveiobS
and direction, but it had already been sent
away in bag. The lad seemed SO anxious
about the missive that the clork finally
asked him if it was matter uf life and
death.
"That's exactly what it u.s." replied tho
boy as no turned shade paler, 'you SEQ,

down: 'P. S.-Wo arc all well;' so nv

If thou art too lazy to think, thou wilt

Our dependence on the Holy Spirit
in tho work Of saving souls is absolute.
Tho force, the mass Of character, mind,
heart or soul that q man can put into
any work is tho most important factor in
that work.
Doctrinal preaching that does not lead
to practice, practical preaching that is not
based on doctrine, are alike absurd and
powerlcss.
A workshop is not bad pace for

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in it;
The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.
~ .; '.
No little forms like buds TO grow,
And make tho admiring heart surrender;
To make the thrilling love caress.
To keep the thrilling love cords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet toward slumber tending;
No little knees in prayer to bend,
Our lips the sweet words lending.
What would the mothers do for work,
Were there no pants or jacket tearing?
No tiny dresses to embroider e?
No cradle for their watchful carin?
No rosy boys at wintry morn
With satchcl to the school-house hasting;
. No merry shouts at home they rush,
No precious morsel for their tasting.
The s!ssnsg souls would SCI more steFn, -
And men to stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.

Thro Times mysterious dim unfolding,

A STRAIauToUT FIGHT-Reports are
coming up from all parts of the State as to-
o combination movement between certain
disaffected Democrats and the leading lights
of the old Radical party. In the lower
counties where tho colored people have .,
'hrgen umerical majority, the Democats have
become frightened before they have meet the
enemy in open battle and tried their real
strength at the ballot-box. The republicans
have well>defued policy which they are
determined to carry out at every cost, and
are making a supreme struggle for ma
jority in the legislature. They have taken
up Hampton, not from choice but from nee
essity, and are making the fight for the
legislature. Here they intend to take their
stand and by opposition to the adIhinistra-
ton SO weaken the government as p render
all efforts at real reform of no avail and in
this way destroy the Democracy and restore
the radical party to power. This, Is all
wrong The Democracy is strong enough
to subduc all opposition and overcome any
majority, if it will only, go 10 work in its
own ranks and frown down every attempt

about to be made. We are either good
Democrats or we are republicans, or we are
worse. The moment we fall into the nets
our enemies have spread for us and agree
to the least surrender of our rights, that mo-
ment we seal the doom of the party and
destroy the safety of the State. Every
nominee of the Democratic party should be
required to speak out on this subject. No
honest Democrat, no true man, will suffer
himself to be used as tool by the radicals
who are in deadly conspiracy against U.S.
