Organize!
Now that our convention has been
convened, and our nominees placed
before the people, let the proper
steps be taken to fully organize our
party in every school District in the
county.

only presidential fraud eyer seen in

About thirty persons from this
county left yesterday for Charleston,
to attend the Greenback State Con.
vention. All of them are opposed to

The Chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee of this county,
informs us that the Republicans will
hold their county convention July
18th, to nominate acounty ticket.
1t has been generally admitted by
the anti-Grant men that if Grant Sc
cured the delegation from Illinois,
dissemination would result. Ulysses
has Illinois solid.
Owing to delays in the census de-
partment, the enumeration will not
begin June 1st, as all along contem-
plated. The work will commence as
soon as practicable.
1t is beginning to dawn upon the
Republican mind that Grant is cam
didate for the nomination-though
he is still silent.
The Enquirer figures up that Grant
has already secured 412 votes in the
Chicago convention, being thirty
more than it requires to nominate.

The Earlier the Easier.

An old man one day took a child on
his knee, and talked to him about Jesus,
and told him to seek the Saviour now, and
pray to Him and love Him. The child
knew that the old man was not himself
Christian, and felt surprised. Then he
looked up into the old mans face and
said I" But why don't you seek God P"
The old man was affected by the oues-

Revival of Monasticism

1t is noteworthy, that Just as monas-

into decay in Italy the taste for it is re-
wing In France. In not few towns
In the South the monastery is becoming
as common sight as the pepiniere on on
tat les cures, as the lay-folk scornfully
dub the Senataoa7Te or theological college
These latterday. cloisters are favorite
retreat for idle gentlemen, who have tired
OF society, or who find that society has
tired OF them. In one much-freuuented
watering-place the revived convent of the
Carmelites makes one of the chief attrac-
tons of the place, keeping upa continual
rivalry with the theatre, the band and
the casino. In the church attached to it
there is constant succession of functions
with striking aesthetic efforts, and special
preachiIngs by popular preachers of the
order from every quarter of the globe.

screened-of seats into the choir when
the sermon begins, and the singing of one

clety all contribute to the popularity of
the services and of the place, which per
haps on this account is favorite haunt
OF English "verts. The ranks of the
inmates of such establishments are gen
orally filled up by men who have been
crossed IN love, who have lost heavily at
play, who'cannot get on with their wives,
or are otherwise the victims of domestic
worries, and seek safety in fight. But
of what goes on within the wall soutsiders
seldom hear, though once we were told
on good authority, that a certain doughty
old General, who had exchanged the
sword, which had done his country much
good service, for the frock, was SO very
intirm of purpose" about turning out at
all hours of the night to say his prayers,
that he was constantly in disgrace for
disobedience to the rules of the order he
had joined The Saturday ReUieaO.

How to Love God.

In beautiful village, boy about ten
years old, lay very sick, drawing near to
death, and very sad He was ioint-heir,
with an only brother, to great estate,
and the inheritance was Just about COM
ing into his possession, but it was not the
loss of this that made him sad. He was
dying boy, and his heart longed for a
treasure which he knew had never been
his, and which was worth more to him
now than all the gold of all the western
mines.
Zone day came into his room. 1 sat
down by him, took his hand, and, look
ing in his troubled face, asked him what
made him so sad"
Uncle, said he, al want to love God.
Won't you tell me how to love God?"
l cannot describe the piteoue tones in
which he said these words, and the look
OF trouble which he gave me. said to
him:
MY boy, you must trust God first, and
then you will love Him without trying
to at ALL
With surprised look he exclaimed /:
What did you say?"
repeated the exact words again, and
| shall never forget how his large hazel
eyes opened on ne, and his cheek flushed
as he SLOWLY aid:
Well, L never knew that before. |
always thought that must love God first
before [ had any right to trust Him.
No, my dear boy, I answered. "God
wants us to trust Him; that is what Je-
sus asks us to do first of all, and He
knows that as soon as we trust Him we
shall begin to love Him. That is the
way to love God, to put your trust in
Him first of all"
Then / spoke to him of the Lord Jesus,
and how God sent Him that we might
believe in Him, and how, all through His
life, He tried to win the trust of men !;
how grieved He was when men would
not believe In Him, and how every one
who believed came to love without try
ing to love at ALL
He drank in all the truth, and simply
saying, will trust Jesus now" with
out an effort put his young soul in
Christs hands that very hour, and SO he
came into the peace of God which pass
eth understanding, and lived in it calm
ly and sweetly to the end. None of all
the loving friends, who watched over
him during the remaining weeks of his
life, doubted that the dear boy had
learned to love God without trying to.
and that dying he went to Him whom
not having seen he had loved.
