The Bible Lesson.

There was the usual large attendance at the
union bible class and teachers meeting, at the
Y. NJ G. A. rooms, yesterday, severely taxing
the capacity of the room. In opening
prayer was offered by Rev. D. R. Breed, and
at the conclusion of Che prayer the text of the
lesson-the 84th psalm-was read by the class
in concert. Mr.. Breed then called out from the
class various suggestions relative to the leading
thought of the lesson, viz: ''The souls salts
faction in the wisdom of God;' "The natural
resort of the penitent-the house of God;"
The longing of the true worshipper for the
sanctuary 'The source of spiritual strength"
He said that these hight be summed in the
comprehensive title: THE blessings and privi-
leges of the house of Cod The psalm was
expressive of that reverence for the place of
divine worship in which our own age was
specially deficient. 1t could be borne
in mind in teaching it that, al
though God is everywhere, he reveals
himself in his temple as he does in no other
place. Ominpresence does not imply uniform
manifestation. Therefore the house of God
ought to be especially dear to all the people Of
God. This is realized when one is deprived of
the privileges Of the sanctuary. The occasion
of the composition of the psalm was the en-
forced absence of it's author. At this point in
the lesson, at Mr.. Breeds requests member of
the class described his feelings during voyage
of III days around Cape Horn. When he ar
rived at San Francisco and went to church for
the first time after landing he was so overcome
as to be obliged to sit down in the vestibule to

A most peculiar case of dishonesty in
an employee came to light in the Grim
inal Court at Chicago recently. Edwin
Harris, former book-keeper, was in
dicted for abstracting the funds of the
firm and was arrested. BE pleaded
guilty to the charge and was sentenced
to the penitentiary. Harris confessed
the theft, stating that an ungovernable
desire to become rich was his motive.
From 1871, when he was first employed,
until 1878, when the firm was driven in
to bankruptcy by his peculstions, he
had taken from $12. 600 to SIS, 900, all
of which he had invested in bonds, real
estate and in the business of his former
employers, which he bought with the
funds he had stolen from them. 1t was
only a few days ago that the bankrupts
In oyerhauling their accounts came
across some little discrepancies, and
when asked to explain them Harris
made a full confession. He is over
whelmed with sense of his disgrace,
and has asked to be sent Immediately to

THE BATTLE CRY OF 1880.


The next presidency is net to be con-
tested on the Ohio idea, the New Eng
land idea or the Southern idea, but upon
. fundamental national idea which will
overpowera others. The country will
insist that there shall be free ballot,
that the people shall not be controlled
or eowed by federal soldiers or United
States marshals, but that the sovereigns,
not their servants, shall rule. They will
demand, too, that full and fair express
sion shall be given to the ballot after it
has been cast without being counted out
by infamous returning boards of the
DEGREES of electoral commissions. These
two things go hand in hand. Free cleo
tions and full force to the popular will,
rs determined thereby, will constitute
she battle cry of the next campaign. All
minor issues will have to give way.

TIE OLD PLANTATI0N.
BIZ RoLLA RYAN.


From mouldering roof TO cellar wall
sorrowful silence broods over all.
The dust lies deep on the chamber floors,
Blown through the shutterless open doors;
And over the Windowless broken sill
The spider weaYes his web at viii,
With never fear Of innovation,
On bis settled claim ct the old plantation.
Counting the seconds before it's fan,
The death-wateh ticks in the silent hall.
From the ragged caves, like morning walls.
Drapings Of drab woofs dropping trails,
And sapping strength where it slowly crAwis,
The ivy clngs to the crumbling walls;
For Natures distinctive emulation,
Speeds the decay Of the old plantation.
The negro cabins in sad array
With the old house crumble to decay.
Their sable tenants have long since flown
And wild weeds over the hearthstone grown.
Der the earthen floors the rank grass grows,
Through the open doors the south wind blows
With sorrowful sobs OF commiseration,
For the pitiful plight Of the old plantation.
Where noisy children at twilight played
The horned owl sits in the sombre shade.
The trodden paths Of the days Of yore,
Leading from cabin door to door,
Are lost in jungle of trailing vines
Where the rattlesnake slowly his length entwines
fed on the dark stagnation
That testers around the old plantation.
'Tis cheerless at noon. when the sun is bright
And more cherries, still, in the sombre night,
When ghostly shapes in the darkness loom,
And the vampire fits through the gloom;
When echoless footsteps seem to fan,
And the screechowl walls on the garden wall
Like witch with wild and wierd cantation,
Weaving spell oer the old plantation.
N Natures solitude undefled, ..
However rugged the scene or wild, ~
There's still the Creators unmarried plan
Ind the future home Of happy man.
But the pencil of artist could not portray
scene more sad than the slow decay,
Mid the deathly silence of desolation,
That ever broods Ger the old plantation.

Recently at Kinston, N. c., Hiram
Owens met Bath West on the streets
and charged him with the ruin of 6
young girl Lying in his house. West de
MED the charge, and asserted that he
knew nothing of the matter. Owens
called him liar and scoundrel- West
caught his accuser by the coat and told
him that if he didn't retract the Ian
Ruage he would shoet him. The out
ragged uncle of the girl refused, where
upon West drew pistol. Owens
started to run, but was pursued by West
who fred three shots at him, one pass
ing through the body of the pursued
man; the other two lodged in his
back. Owens fell to the ground, ex-
claiming, II am ruined, but I'll never
take it back, I'll be id if do" The
wounded man died. Both of the par
ties are highly connected.
