The regular meeting of the San Antonio
branch of the Irish national land league was
held at Meyers hall last Sunday evening,
President P. Shields in the chair.
Great interest and enthusiasm was mani
fested in the progress of the movement, when
subscriptions to the amount OF So2 90 were
received for the cause and the support of the
Jown-trodden Irish in their heroic struggle for
freedom. For this sum the league is largely
indebted to Mr.. Phil. Dermody, one OF It's
most efficient members. An interesting dis
cusson was held by members present on the
subject of American citizens now imprisoned
in Ireland under the coercion act, which re-
suited in the appointment of committee t"

to protest against the action OF the British gov
.rnment and our own state department Tor not
demanding an immediate trial or release OF
such prisoners.

I III UST WORK NO W.

The existence of our blessed Lord was
from everlasting to everlasting; he
had neither beginning of years nor
end of days" Yet he deemed it i'm
portant to economic his time. 81 must
work the works OF Him that sent me,
while it is day" Did He think it neces-
sary not to lose precious moments, golden
opportunities of doing good, because the
time was near when seasons for labor
would be gone? Then now much more
should we've who are only creatures
OF day-we whose day of life must
soon be closed by the night of death, of
darkness and the grave? How true it
is" Tile night cometh."
Suppose that to-day some mysterious,
unseen being should follow us on our
way home, and whisper in our ear" TIE
night comeeth;" and as we entered our
threshold should again utter the cry
" The night cometh .; and again should
arouse US at midnight as with an alarm
Of fire, The night cometh," and on to-
morrow should once and again break in
upon us with the same foreboding words
The night conseth." Who would not
feel deep and solemn impression from
such an admonition Who would not
say, surely that voice has meaning
for me. Let not the sound pass by un-
needed.
But why should I need such messen-
ger, when the word of God tells me,
(and is not that voice from heaven p
that The night cometh ?" If 1 turn
away from the invitation to pardon, to
salvation, night may fall upon me of
deep and eternal darkness. Or if as
follower of Jesus Christ, I have service
to perform for Him who bought me with
his own blood, let me never lose sight of
the solemn truth under which he also
said, must work the works of Him
that sent me while it is day the night
cometh when no man can work"

DECENT SPEECH

Wherever the secularpress appreciates
the Importance of good morals as the
foundation of patriotic politics, we would
be glad to see it frown upon and rebuke
the growing tendency of our stump
speakers to interlard their harangues
with indecency and profanity. The re-
suits OF the late war have greatly re-
duced the average intelligence and moral
tone OF popular audiences, and dema-
gogues of every stripe are tempted to
pander to the lowest tastes. Even Chris
tian men fall into the coarse habit of ir-
reverent expressions and filthy illusions
IN order to hold the attention of the de-
moralized masses. But some 90 much
further, and give utterance to daring
blasphemy and the most disgusting OBJ.
scenity. They are willing to sacrifice
selt-respect and the respect of all the
better classes Of citizens, if they can only
secure the applause Of white roughs and
negro rowdies, Such men are rapidly
undoing all the good which DR.. Ruffner
and Gen. Armstrong have sought to ac-
complish in Virginia by educational and
Outstanding influences. The benefit
Of all these efforts Of philanthropic re-
formers to elevate and purify the degra-
ded classes Of our people is directly coun-
teracted by the debasing and debauch-
ing influence Of shameless and mercena-
ry ambition There is no smartness in
blasphemy. There is no heroism in de-
flying the Almighty. There is no patri
otism whatever in fostering and encour-
aging low tastes and brutal sentiments

FIVE of the Presbyteries in connection
with the Synod of Virginia meet this
week, viz: Chesapeake, Maryland, East
Hanover, West Hanover, Greenbrier, and
Winchester. The other four-Abingdon,
Lexington, Montgomery, and Roanoke,
have already met. Many of the Presby-
teries in the other Synods also meet this
week, and the others will soon follow.
1t may be well enough to remind cor
respondents that, so far as influence is to
be exerted on these Presbyteries, it will
not be worth while to write any more on
fraternal relations. We shall, however,
be most happy to have them put forth all
their strength on some other subjects that
are no less important. Who will send us

OLD AGE is indeed fine crown upon
mans life; many days upon the earth.
The hoary head is crown of glory"
But the brightest jewel in the crown of
old age is when it is found in the way
of righteousness" And what a melan-
choly spectacle is an ungodly old age,
which tells only of ripeness for wrath
wrath against the day of wrath y,
treasured up through long life spent in
sin and forgetfulness of God. "The sim
aer being an hundred years old shall be
cursed"
What beautiful crown was upon the
good old patriarchs, notwithstanding
some grievous sins Upon Moses and
many others in the Old Testament; and
upon Simeon and Anna, and Paul and
John" the beloved disciple" in the
New Testament and upon Polycarp,
the faithful martyr" who said as he
went to the flames, that he had served
Jesus Christ eighty-six years.
Honor old age, especially old people
who are good. 1t is a shame for the
young to treat the aged with disrespect.
If you would have good old age your
self, begin to serve God while you are
young. Remember now thy Creator
in the days of thy youth"
