Why the Graveyard is Forlorn Spot2

In reply to Mr.. Jackson, and in be-
half of the sacred dead, will say a
few words in regard to the colored
peoples graveyard. Long before the
establishment of the colored Methodist
church the colored citizens of Berke-
ly County had purchased the grave
yard in question. The trustees of the
M. E. Church usurped their right in
the matter, and never consulted the
purchasers of the graveyard in regard
to it. They have collected and used
the money for individual purposes
ever since. l regret the matter has
been brought up, for it reflects shame
upon every colored person, but
the truth must now be known. The
trustees have used over a hundred
dollars, which should have been APP
piled to the improvement of the
graveyard. Lewis Ford, decd, was
treasurer, the money In his hands
being subject to the decision of the
trustees; so, when one wanted little
cash, he simply notified the others,
and they ordered the desired amount
to be paid. Even James Johnson,
now in the State prison, had his share
of the money. So, hope, Mr.. jack
son, the conundrum is solved.

Rev. ]. NJ. Clymer, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Keyser, writes
to the Central Presbyterian, that there
is great awakening of religious in
terest in his congregation.
Rev. F. M. Woods, writes, January,
28th: /" 1t will be of interest to your
readers to know that God has been
making his power felt in one of the
churches of our Presbytery. / allude
to the church at Keyser, Of which
Rev. ]. M. Clymer is the devoted and
loved pastor. l have just returnd
from weeks preaching for him, and
as many as thirty or more are now in
curing the way of life, and many of
these are rejoicing in what / believe
to be well grounded hope. Brother
Fleming, of Woodstock, spent two
weeks in Keyser, and his preaching
made deep impression on the church
and in the whole community. Brother
Clymer has labored faithfully in this
wide and arduous Notwithstanding
both Keyser and Piedmont-andno now
the Lord is permitting him to see
some of the rich results. "Sow in
the morn thy seed" "Even 80, come,
Lord Jesus"
We who have no such reports to
send from our own fields, rejoice in
this, for it is testimony that God
will come to us bye and bye" Cen

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

Spare the rod and spoil the child. !"
He that loyeth his son chasteneth
him betimes.u "ChaSten thy son
while there is hope, and let not thy
soul spare for his crying.n With
hold not correction from thy child, for
if thou beatest him with rod he shall
not die.p Thou shalt beat him with
the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from
hell.u
The above quotations were uttered
by one who knew, for he had been
there and had lived long enough to
verify every word; to kiss the rod
that smote him, and like thousands of
to-day, render thanks unto or revere
the memory of these who in earlier
days, administered pure, unadulter-
ated extracts of beech, birch, or will
low.
can hardly conceive of any person
who would favor bill of that charac-
ter, unless it should be some overly
sensitive parent, or some aspiring ped
ag0gue, Mho with one nightly stride,
aided by legislation, would struggle to
alight on the top round of fame, be-
cause forsoOth, nature may have en-
dowed himiwith talent by which he
can control, without resorting to cor
poral punishment.
| The rod never spoiled nor hurt me
much, and my instructions to the
teachers of my children are; use the
rod when necessary, and don't be
afraid to bear on a little, in the mean
time. Use the rod when all other
means fail; use it judiciously, and the
public will have no reason to censure a
faithful teacher, the only one who
knows what emergencies arise, and the
best methods of disposing of them.
1t is fact worthy of consideration,
that there is less injuring child with
the rod than with many other means
that are resorted to by those who pro-
fess to be perfect disciplinarians NOR
al suasionists, &c. "There is reason
in all things" or at least there should
be, in the administration of corporal
punishment as well as in the admins
tration of government affairs in legis-
latures. In my opinion, the passage
of such an act as has been introduced
into our legislature, without any pro-
viso or substitute, would be an out
rage upon the community at large, a
fatal blow to our public schools, and
would utterly disqualify three-fourths
or more of our most efficient teachers
of the present day, an in great meas
ure tend to demoralize the very best
| institutions in our country.
If the parent of that bill, I care not
who he is, will have the kindness to
take charge of one of our ward schools
LIN MartinSburg for one week, without
"the power behind the THRONE" /
think he would come out one of the
most thoroughly converted men that
ever graced a legislative hall.
In conclusion, would soy that II
there is ony legislator who wishes to
immortalize his name, for mercy's
sake, let him do SO by administering
comfort and consolation to the present
overtaxed servants in the public
schools of our State. A CITIZEN.

his county in the legislature, and is at

we can of Berkeley, that it is free OF

Republican majority, which this
county will also have. and then we

But then they are seeing the evil OF

One day this week, when high snow
banks lined the pavements, two of
our young stalwarts, Tom and Frank,
took it into their heads to have life
size casting Of our honorable Mayor.
Selling him as he came along, they
cast hin full length upon the snow
bank. We can hardly say that the
experiment was success, as owing to
the fact that the Mayor is of very
light weight, the impression in the
snow was not sufficiently deep for a
good mould. The impression made,
however, upon the bystanders was
very favorable indeed, as the way
they seemed to enjoy the process
clearly indicated. Whether in view
of his early retirement, these admirers
of the Mayor wish to secure for some
business corner of the city this new
piece Of statuary, or for place in our
park in memory of the politically
dead, we have not learned. Certainly,
they could not have meant it as any
indignity to the Mayor.

pavement laid on the opposite side of
Queen Street, from Feller's drug store
to the B. & O. crossing. This is GER
tainly much needed improvement,
but there are few places in town where
new pavements are not wanted.
Our patrons will always please bear
in mind that we do all kinds of priat-
ing ina neat and tasty manner, and
at reasonable, but uniform rates-not
charging some favored person one
price and an unfortunate "don't know
bettern another. Our success is en-
tirely due to our business principles,
giving the people paper filled with
the latest news, and not crowded with
patent medicine puffs and dead adj
vertisements. If we can help it, none
but the advertisements of our own
business men shall ever grace the
columns of THE HERALD.
