Old and New School.
j. D. II.

Not many years ago a certain
minister who had been champion
of Old School doctrine died, and
his people were looking abont for
his successor. They had been
thoroughly indoc4rinated, and the
one idea that their pastor had
striven to impress upon their
minds was, that they must never
tolerate in their pulpit any other
than this Old School doctrine.
While the candidating was going
on, one Of the older members of
the Chu,ch net 9Ee who had
loined it more recently, and fell
into conversation with him abou,
the coming man. Here is wha,
the stenog'apher heard:
New Member.-Have you any
body in7par:icular il view for the
pastnrship?
Ola Membsr.-Not yet. Only
one thing is settled ; he must be
an Old School man.
N. M.-So | suppose. Lets
see! l don't think l understand
this distinction yet, very well
Precisely what is the difference
between the Old School and the
New School?

Why, the Old School doctrine oi
the a tonement is that all men -
that Christ died -that-. " ell

cant repent unless-that is, if

l don't get that either just now
bnt anyhow we've get to have an
Old School man!
This man, it will be seen, was

pies, and doubtless most OF his
brethren in the Church were as
solid as ho was in their adhesion
to these principles. 1t will aston

For the SENTINEL.
From the Land Of Flowers.
TALLAHAssRE, Fla, }
Sept. 1st, 1850.

DEAR SENTINEL "A great many
times since my soj"uru here, l have
thought that perhaps you would
like few lines from this "Land of
Flowers" | was about to write, bnt
there are other distinctive terms,
equally as descriptive and fully as
applicable as the word flowers.
a friend OF mine says: "Fiorida
was made of the scraps left from
building the rest Of the world, con-
tanning little OF everything found
elsewhere, but not enough of any
thing to be of much valne."
Truly there seems to be a
wonderful amount of truth in this
saying. There has been Gold, Sill
yer, Iron, Petroleum all these
things fonnd here, but in such in
significant quantities that they are
OF no value To quote from the
friend above quoted from: "Thcy
even have small volcano here, SO
50 small that they would have 1t
nowhere else, so it was sent with
the other scraps to Florida" But
with all tie other thirgs they have
like other people, | be lieve they have
some things unlike any thing found
in other localities, There are
several rivers in the State that flow
right out Of the gronnd from one
spring or opening, and with suffi :
cient volume and depth of water to
be navigahle tor a good sized river
steamer. There is one navigablc
stream that | know Of (the ST.
Marks siver) that flows along
through the pine woods, and sud
denly runs into the ground and
disappears, until a few hundred
yards farther OH it as suddenly re-
appears and flows on to the Gulf.
There is one river called the Lost
River, that disappears in the ground
and does not appear again any
where. Several years ago man
was drowned in it, and his body
WIS subsequently found floating IN
the Gulf of Mexico.
There are in this section of the
! State thousands of .'Sinks," as they
are called, where portions of the
ground, varying in area from one
/ fourth of ah acre to two or three
acres, have sunk or dropped down,
to depth varying from fifteen

HsnakThe road was perfectly smooth
and the the distances were made
remarkably quick which led me to
think their miles were shorter.
We soon came TO the Arkansas
River, aid crossed in a ferry boat
Just below its confux with the
Grand River. It was low, bnt.two
Indians and one white man work ed
the oars and yet we landed down
stream on account of the current.
Fort Gibson looned mp and we
soon entered the village, whence
after sa4~eral hours ];.=.&ger another
stage will go over to Lahleguah.
Daring the interval l took my
letter Of introduetien and looked up
the residence Of Major Lyons whose
wife and sister-in-law are Moravi-
ans. l was graclously received by
them and treated to the best. They
are granddaughter of the old chief
John Ross, and their mother, at
present, Mrs. Nave, who was edu--
Gated at our Academy III Salem, is
now Matron at the Indian Orphan
Asylum. At this place I found
that Indian boys love money as well
as ours, and hesitate not to ask for
it, one little fellow accosted me
with ''Uncle give me mick
Poor little man he little knew OF
my experience the day before, or
he would have collected in my be-
half.
Acquaintances increased until !
found myself surrounded, and as
we were on the eve of sitting down
to dinner, | recognized the we'll
known voice Of my delinquent
friend, II. We met the first time
since 1870. when in Pennsylvania.
Now for his excuse, he had intend
ed coming to Muscogee at the set
time, but his horse. lob, being a
Mustange and loving the prairie, as
his natural domain, had several
days previous given him the slip,
kicked up his heels as much as to
y: now for a race, and left. Bro.
IL. had spent whole day in trying
to catch him. but only after using
strategy succeeding, and Just at the
time he was due at Muscogee.
"But, never mind, we are glad to
meet, and we'll get these good In
dian sisters to help us bnry the
t'tnahawk, and pretty soou start
for the house"
In my next you will accompany
US in Bro. H's two horse buggy

CHINESE TREATMENT OE ANIMALS

CHINESE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
They never punish; hence a mule
that, in the hands of a foreigner, would
be not only useless, bu, dangerous TO
every one about it, becomes, in the
possession of Chinaman, as quiet as a
lamb and as tract:ible as dog. We
never beheld runaway, a jibing or a
vicious mule or pony in Chinaman's S
employment; but found the same rat
ting, cheerful pace maintained over
heavy or light roads by means of a
tur-r or cluck-k, the beast turning to
the right or left, and stopping with
but hint from the reins. This treat
ment is extended to all the animals
they press into their service. Often
have admired the tact exhibited in
getting a large drove of sheep through
narrow, Gro wded streets, and always b.
merely having little boy TO lead one
of the quictcst Of the flock IN front /;
the others steadily followed. without
the aid either from a yclping cur or a
cruel goad.- Irgrels IN JIaucAu Tar :

The story of these Slaepers, seven.
i mean in brief to tell
Their name is known to every ones-
Their history not SO well
When Decinsr Emperor of Rome,
Unsheath-d the Pagan sword,
And prosecuted unto death
The followers o. our Lord.
Seven noble youths, OF noble blood,
Ephesians all by birth,
Sought safety from the tyrapt's rage,
In caverns of the earth.
But heather malice found them there,
And made Its cruelty known,
BY ordering the entrance way
To be built up with stone
Immediately these favored youths
Fell into 8 umbers deep,
And near two centuries 3 nao passed.
Since trst they fell aslsep;
Whei. n tho inward march OF time,
These stones were clear, away,
And gently Al these sieepers WOKE
To greet the light of Gay
A nd thinking they had only slept
An hour or two at best,
They sent j .Jambiicus secretly
To buy food for the rest.
The youth, Qf we may cell him so,l
Was much surprised to view
Ho changed his native country wass
Ard how surprising too,
To Il cross-% hat sacred sign-
Erected DER the gate
OF Ephesns! where, (as he thoughty
Cruel Decius reigued in state
Not less surprised the citizens,
Saw the old fashio ed youth -
His dress so quaint, and. absoletey
His manners pncouth
And when for current coin he gave
Some medals ODD and rare,
They carried him before the judge
To tell his story there.
Their mutual enquiries
Soon made the truth appear
No marvel that the woud'rous news
Spread quickly far and near;
Nor that u wonder-loviDg crowd
Soon gathered round the cave
The Emperor Theodosius,
aud even bishops grave
The magistrates of Ephesus,
And al the people too,
W ith breathless awe drew near the place
The wond'rous youths to view.
The Slespers bless. d them plously,
" ith weak and IL ling BREATH
Then peacefully without 3 sign,
I he seven slept in death.
