Poor SientieTnen.

There are more young American men
in the penitentiaries of this country
learning trades than there are out of
them. The principal cause of this is
that we are educating our young men
for gentlemen, trying to make lawyers,
preachers, doctors and clerks out of ma =
terial that nature intended for black
smiths, bricklayers, carpenters, tailors
and other honest "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" 1t is a mistake, and
n big one, to teach boys and girls to be-
lieve that labor is disgraceful and to do
nothing for Il living is more becoming
To society in which they expect to move
and have the respect of. Hang such
society it is rotten to the core to-day,
and there are more mems sons and
daughters who are now being educated
To play the parts of leading lady and
walking gentlemen in the great drama
of life, who will light out for poor
house or penitentiary before they have
played their parts and the curtain
drops.

The dark-winged Angel of Death has
again come and taken from earth one
of the dear friends of our youth and early
manhood, and with II saddened heart
we attempt to pay an humble tribute
to his memory.
LaNega Paxton, son of f.. w. and
Clarissa Paxton, was born in Ohio
county in the year 1850, and died at
the residence of his father near Crom-
well, Ohio county, Kentucky, October
20, 1880, in the 3lst year of his age.
From childhood he was noted for no.
bility of character and for his obedience
to parents. In early youth he prolessed
religion and became a member of the
Methodist Church, South. His walk
was ever consistent with his profession,
and the true Christian character was
clearly exemplified in his life. He OBJ
tanned liberal education and adopted
teaching as his profession, in which he
obtained considerable distinction as an
educator. In August, 1876, he was
married to Miss Ida Morton, near Ce-
ralvo, Kentucky. In the early part of
1873, he, with his family, emigrated to
Texas, where lie engaged in teaching
until compelled to desist by failing
health. Growing worse, he finally
came to his old home, with the hope of
recruiting his health. But, alas, his
vitality was almost gone; he fingered
but a few days i'm the old family room,
and the "pale messenger" came. But
he did not find him unprepared. He
chad set his house in order" He an
ranged his temporal affairs, had a fare
well letter written to his absent wife,
gave directions in regard to his burial,
babe his father, sisters and friends
adieu, and i'm the triumphs of the Chris
tian religion breathed his last. al am
all right now" was one of the last as
surances given to friend while stand
ing by his dying couch. Such, i'm brief,
is the history of this young man.
We knew LaVega Paxton in early
childhood; we knew him as IA school
mate; we trod with him the slippery
paths of youth; in the eager, buoyant
days of early manhood he was our con-
fidential friend; we never knew a truer
friend, IA purer gentleman-One more
undertaking from conscientious convic-
tions. We watched by him as he lin
gered on the shores of time; we follow
ed him to his last resting-place, we drop
ped a tear of sadness and sympathy
upon his early grave. We have written
this brief tribute to his character and
back in some sacred corridor of this
heart his memory will he kept green
until we meet again. II.

The ease of McHenry vs.. Rosine Mill
Company was tried in the Court of Ap-
peals last Saturday, and the following
decision rendered. Judge Hines deliv-
cred the opinion of the court
First-ro enable mechanic to assert
his lien, he must, within sixty days after
he ceases to labor or furnish material,
file his claim in the clerks Office of the
County Court, a. provided by See. q,
Chap. 40, General Statutes.
Second-An allegation that he filed
his claim in the clerks Office sixty days
after he had ceased to labor for the
"Mill Company" is not sufficient, the
fact being in this case that he had la
bored for the company in another ca
pacity than rs mechanic.

RoCHPORT, KY, Nov. 10, 1880.
Editor Herald:
The Slaty Creek Baptist Church,
Ohio county, aided by Elder Judson 5.
Taylor, commenced a series of meet
ings the fourth Sabbath i'm October, con-
tinuing three weeks and two days. The
good lord did graciously revive His
people. They did pray, weep, exhOrt,
shout and rejoice together. One re-
markable feature of the meeting was
that, Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, it steadily increased in
interest to the close. There were, as
near as we could ascertain, about forty
professed hope in Christ; thirty-one re-
lated their experience of grace to the
church, twenty-six of whom We're bap-
tized and five await that ordinance.
Nine joined by letter and restoration,
making in all forty added to the church.
1t was truly touching to see Elder Tay-
lor as he roamed the fields and forests
and enter the old homesteads of his
childhood and early manhood after an
absence of twelve years, hear him re-
count the changes, the death of that
tree, the growth of this, the decay here
the improvement there and visit the
resting place of the deceased relatives
and friends, and especially to hear him
preach with fearful eyes the melting
story of Jesus and his love to his kim
dred and old acquaintances and warn
them to flee the wrath to come, and to
come to the Savior. Thus continued
