TERY-MINISTER BACK on DUTY.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
July 80, 1880.
4 called meeting of Lexington Presby-
terry was held here yesterday in the Second
Presbyterian church-Rey. Frank Gaines
moderator, and Rev. Alexander Sprunt
clerk pro tem.-for the purpose OF consider
ing a call for the pastoral services OF Rev.
John A. Preston, OF Pendleton, w. Va,
rendered bin by the Presbyterian church
at Salem, Va.
The eldrs representing Mr.. Preston's
congregations in Pendleton read very
earnest protest before Presbytery against
that body granting the dlsmissiOn asked for,
representing that compliance with the re-
quest OF Salem church would be most dis
astrouS 10 the churches in Pendleton.
Mr.. Preston left the matter entirely to
Presbytery, and was willing to be guided
by their decision. lie was Nost reluctant
TO leave his people ia West Virginia, to
whom he bad become much attached, and
only desired 10 be in the line OF duty.
Presbytery, after considering the matter
fully, voted unanimously not 10 grant the
dismi>sion. So Mr.. Preston remains with
his present charge.
Rev. William f.. Baker, who has been
spending a months vacation in the North,
returns this week, and resumes his pastoral
duties, preaching TO his congregation Sun
day.

A Splendid Panegyfic.

When the Cincinnati Enquirer printed
Mr.. SEYM0UR's telegram peremptorily de-
clining 4 nomination for the presidency, it
accompanied the same with the following
eloquent eulogy:
"It Is due to the truthful record OF this
time TO say that no other American has
ever penned so noble a dispatch. Horatio
Seymour could have been nominated for the
presidency with splendid acclaim, and could
have been elected with 0attering triumph.
His name was the one name TO which per-
sonal ambitions would have been compelled
10 bow, as 1t is name which the peo-
pie OF the republic have reason to
adore. Nothing but the command Of
Hora,io Seymour himself could have pre-
vented his nomination and election.
Other Americans have had two terms OF
the presidency; but no other American
has declined TO take one term OF the pres!-
dency when, as unavaiIing incense, 1t was
laid at his feet. Mr.. Seymour has failed to
take presidency, but he has made fragrant
his name. Ii will rest upon the lips OF men
sweeter than the names OF Presidents. The
lovely and lofty life be lives. in the cloister-
ed retreats OF scholar and statesman ana
patriot. has modest attractions for him
when the aIluTtultUiS Vi
oyerpower. There is no more splendid
and beautiful incident in American history
than this putting away Of power"
1t is likely that Mr.. SEYMOUR has Dis
tinguished himself more by refusing than
be could have done Ly accepting the presi-
dency, Just as General WAsHINGTON's ina
bility to make speech when complimented
bv a resolution Of the Virginia House OF
Burgesses has made both his merits and his
modesty known TO all mankind: "Sit
down. Mr.. WASHINGTON" said the Speaker,
"your merits are only equalled by your
modesty." The delegates to the Cincinnati
Convention dropped Mr. SEYMOUR without a
protesting voice being raised " hen the letter
appeared in which he declared that he
would choose funeral rather than
nomination. Truth to tell, they
didn't think the old man had any
right to use language so strong. Never
tbelcss, Mr.. SEYMOUR'S name will be
famous long after those OF many OF the aSpi-
rants to the nomination of the Cincinnati
Convention shall have been forgotten.
" The man who refused the presidency Is
bound to live in history, and 1t is not at all
probable that in the next century there will
he another man 80 circumstanced as to be
able to refuse it. nor one who will refuse it
il go circumstanced.

The WARREN Court or Inquiry GENE
Raj HANCOCK WISHES TO WITHDRAw.-Be-
fore the adjournment OF the session Of the
Warren court Of inquiry, on Governor
Island, \. T., Monday, General w. 5. Han
cock, who has acted as president OF the
court since it first met, stated that he had
applied last week to the President OF the
United States to be relieved from further
duty as q member Of the court. He had
hoped. he said, to have received reply to
his application In time 10 be relieved from
attending at the present session. His rea-
sons for wishing TO withdraw from the
court were purely personal. He added thai.
he gave notice Of his application in order
that the counsel could resist il il they so
chose. II is not likely that any objection
will be made to General HancOck's with
drawal, although both parties to the issue
Joined before the court would much prefer
to have him continue TO act. The course Of
action that will probably be pursued Will
be for General Hancock's successor rs Il
member of the court TO read the printed
testimony before the court proceeds further
with testimony after his appointment.

Three Angels.

They say this life is barren. dresr and cold:
Ever the same sad song sung of old,
Ever the same long weary tale is told.
Aud to our lips is held the cup Of strife,
And yet-a little love can sweeten life.
They say our hands may grasp but joys destroyed.
Youth has but dreams, and age aching void,
Whose Desd-Sea fruit, long, long ago has cloyed,
Whose night with wild tempestuOus storms IL rife
And yet little hope can brighten life.
They say fling ourselves In wild despair
Amidst the broken treasures scattered there,
Where all lie wrecked, where all promised fair
And stab ourselves with sorrows two-edged knife
And yet little patience strengthens life.
Is IL then true, this tale OF bitter grief,
OF mortal anguish finding relief
Loi midst the winter shines the Isurels leaf;
Three angels shsrs the lot of human strife,
THREE angels glcrify the path of life.
Love, Hope and Patience cheer US on our way,
Love, Hope and Patience form our spirits stay,
Love, Hope sn9 Patience watch us day by day,
And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernsl,
Until the earthly fades in the eternal.

"In the Bottom Drawer"

l saw my wife pull out the bottom drawer
of the old family bureau this evening, and
went softly out, and wandered up and down,

to her sewing. We have some things laid
away In thst drawer which the gold Of kings
could not buy, and yet they are relics which
grieve US until both our hearts are sore. l

There are two worn shoes, little chip hat,
with part of it gone, some stockings, pants. a
coat, two or three spools, bits of broken
crockery, whip, and several TOYS. Wife.
poor thing, goes to the drawer every day of
her life and prays over it, and lets her tears
fall upon the precious articles, but l dare
not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack, but not
often. 1t has been long time, but somehow
we can't get over grieving. BE was such a
burst of sunshine into our lives that his 90

window where his blue eyes used to sparkle

search my pockets and tease for presents

A Public Benefactor.

lBurlington Hawkeye Correspondence.l
"Down at Hornellsvillep the tall, thin
passenger remarked, "some of the boys were
telling me about young fellow who lost his
wife. They took her remains to some remote
point, her old home, / believe, for interment.
On their way back home, the bereaved hus-
band, accompanied by the physician, stepped
off the train at dining station for little re-
treatment. When they went in they saw
man at the lunch counter, his elbows squared,
and his jaws working like an electric ma
chine. When they went in he was standing
about midway between the ends of the
counter. The physician and the mourner
couldn't help noticing that everything on
the counter below the man was gone; cleaned
out, devOured; and everything above him
was untouched. Steadily the man worked
his devastating,,way toward the bountiful end
of the counter, and the other passengers stood
back to see fair play, and give the counter q
chance. In time the man worked his way
clear and clean up to the wall; he surround
ed the last sawdust sandwich, he wrestled
down the last piece of waterproof mince-pie,
he choked little on the last plaster-paris
cast of doughnut, but he got it down.
Then, with profound sigh, gazing along
the wreck-strewn counter, he walked away
with the air Of a man who had just sacrificed
himself for the good of his fellow-men saying
in tones of triumphant satisfaction: There
by gaull she next fellow that comes along
here will get something freshp"
