Boston Musical Herald.
One of the most familiar hymns
of the English language is that
whose initial line is given above.
1t came from the pen of the Rev.
Robert Robinson, who was born in
Cambridge, England, in l735. His
conversion occurred while yet lad,
under the preaching of Whitefield
and he entered at once into the min
istry, young though he was, with
wonderful success, and blessings
crowned his work.
But it was probable that the wiser
and better course would have been
for him to have studied longer be-
fore entering upon such a sacred
calling, for he seems to have known
comparatively little of himself at
the time; and, as work and study
and years progressed, changes fol-
lowed one after another in his mind,
until he nearly completed the round
of the various protestant faiths of
his day, becoming at last an avOwed
Socinian, and, it is said, gloomy,
unhappy man.
1t was in his youth, when filled
with all the elastic hope and delight
of the young convert, that the be-
lief within him welled up from his
heart, and found speech i'm the beau
tiful hymn which has carried his
name and memory down to US, and
which will still keep them fresh
long years to come:
"Come thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace.
Streams OF mercy never ceas'ng,
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melOdiOus sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount-I'm fixed upon il =
Mount OF Gods redeeming love.
"Here raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I'm come,
And hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold Of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
ooh, to grace how great debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Letthy goodness, like fetIer,
Bind my wandering heart TO thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, feel it;
Prone to leave the God love.
Here's my heart oh, take and seal it
Seal IL for thy courts above! Amen
A touching story is told of a
chance meeting which occurred be-
tween the author of this hymn,
when the after years had robbed
him of his first fresh faith, and the
child of his early convictions itself.
In stage-cOach, lady was earn
estly studying the verses, and APP
piled to a fellow-passenger for his
opinion of them. He in vain at
tempted to avoid the subject, and at
last humbly acknowledged their
authorship, and expressed sorrow
ful regret that he was unable to see
the light then, as he had done in
years that were gone.
But surely such prayer as that
of the lines above quoted brought
its answering blessing at. last; and
the heart once sealed, however after
torn and rent, was never broken be-
yond the power of healing by the
God he loved.

THE HABIT OF SELF-CONTR0L.

If there is one habit which, ahovc
all others, is deserving Of cultivation
it is that of self control. In fact it
includes so much that is Of value and
Importance in life, that it may almost
be said that, III proportion to its pow
cr, does the man obtain his manhood
and the woman her wQmanhood. Tie
ability to identify sell with the high
est parts of our nature, and to bring
all the lower parts into suhjcction, or
rather to draw them all upward into
harmony with the best that we know,
is the one central power which sup
plies vitality to all the rest.
How to develop this in the child
may well absorb the energy of every
parent: how to cultivate it in himself
may well employ the wisdom and en-
thusiasm of youth. YET it is no
mysterious or complicated path that
leads to this GOAL The habit Of self
control is but the accumulation Of
continued acts Of sefdcnia for q
worthy object; it is but the repeated
authority ofthc reason over tn. i'm.
| pulses, of the Judgment over the in
clina,ions, Of the sense Of duty over
| the desires. Hc who has acquired
this habit, who can govern himself
intclligcntly, without painful effort,
and without any fear of revolt from
his appetites ana passions, has with
in him the source of all real power
and all true happiness. The force
and energy which he has put forth
day by day, and hour by hour, is not
cXhaustcdnor even diminished; on
the contrary it has increased by use,
and has become stronger and kecner
by exercise; and although it has al
ready completed its work in the past,
it is still his WE'LL tried, true and
powerful weapon for future conflicts
in higher regions. Hhizudelphio

CoSGAKEE, Jan. 10th 1881.
Editor Oranyeburg Times:
Having seen nothing in the TINES
from this section in some time, and
having leisure to-day, I thought |
would give you a few items which
might be interesting to some Of your
readers
There has been nothing done to-
wards preparing for crop in this
section yet, from two reasons; first,
the extremely ccld weather, and
second, from the general indisposi-
tion Of the colored laborcrs to con
tract. They all seem to be waiting
for something, aud none know what,
unless 1t is for better bargains.
There have been several cases o.
burglary IL his community lately
Mr. j. \. Wisc's house was broker
into about a week ago, some money
and other articles were stolen. Mr..
Glenn divers house WAS also robbed
Of about ten dollars, besides hcA
ofsevcral instances of potglo.nauks
being robbed.
Mrs. Margaret Zakicl, wifa Of Mr.
Of Mr.. Allen Zakiel, Of the Lime
Stone ncighborhood, died very sul
,cnly nj the residence Of hcr son. IN
law. Mr.. Fred Collins, whittier shy
ha" gone on visit, on the night 81
IL" Sih Of January. She cat suppe,
we'll and hearty, and in halfa hour
she was corpse.
Mrs. Rebecca Heckle, the oldest
female inhabitant of this community
died at Mr.. J. j. Zeigler's on the 22d
ofD>cembcr last.
Mr. John Grim the oldest male
inhabitant of the community, has
gone to Charleston to have his ewes
operated upon, haviuG suddenly
lost his sight about two months ago.
Rev. J. NJ Herlong is lying in a
very critical condition, caused bv a
fall, the particulars of Which have
not learned
