So Phoebe was freed from her bond

She married Philip, and loved him
with all the strength of hsr warm heart.

THE COLD SHOULDER IN cHuRCH.

We know q man, well educ ,tvd, polite,
agreeable In all private intercourse, who
did very impolte thing the other day
in church. When tho sermon began, he
balf looked up, with no encouraging ex-
preston on his face, but with the air OF
a suspicious man, who "does not believe
there is much in it, but is willing to
wait little. and see He was clearly
prepared NOT to be interested. Ii all the
church attendants greeted their preach
ers thus. they would break him down Mt
the outset. Our hieLd soon dropped
bis eyes turned as far round as the seat
would let him, and fairly gave the min
lister the cold shoulder. He did not shut
his eyes; that would have been LESS dis
couraging. The minister might have
thought-"Poor man, he has been hard
worked in his business, and though the
spirit is willing, the flesh is weak" He
was provokiugly wide awake. Bat be
looked down, straight and bard Ss il he
would look the floor through, and look
out an underground passage by which to
escape. There lie sat. stern and rigid.
seeming to feel sour, discontcnted, bored.
His whole attitade said-"That sermon is
not worth much, wish l could hear
something better"
Well, the sermon might have been
poor; we have right TO speak on that
point. But it cost labor. Weary, though
pleasant hours we're spent in thinking it
out, in casting and recasiing it. in trying
to make its central truth stand out prom
iuent and impressive. And its truth was
one of great moment. Even though, in
the estimation of its unwilling hearer,
poorly set forth, IT deserved serious and
respectful attei tion. But there sat the
hearer saying all the while by his man.
ntr-'I wish you were in. JoppaT In
one place he did look up, as if about to
show some interest, but he soon rclapsed
into the disguised state. AS whole, it
was most decidedly a case Of cold, very
cold shoulder,
We are sorry he was so i'll satisfied.
We wish every man he hears we're star
preacher, able to fascinate and entrause
him. But MS most preachers are not ex-
traordiuary men, we do not see how he
IS to get along. He is church mem
bsr, and it would scarcely be reputable
to stay away from church; and it may
not he convenient to go every sabbath
where brilliant orators are to be heard.
He must 90 to church; and he must hear
some sermons which claim no more than
to be plain, simple presentations of re-
ligious truth. Now we Gsk, is it petite
for him to frown on minister in the very
house of worship? II be cannot be pleas
ed, may not Others be profted? And if
the preacher bas any right to preach, is
it not best to show decent interest in
the services2 ...-.
Perhaps We mistakesour friend. Per-
hGps he is pretty well satisfied, but 'that
is his way" Ifso it is most unfortun-
ate way. Gentlemen do not treat each
other SO in the paIlor, or the counting
room; why should they in the church?

ry out. Let all church-goers pay good
and evident atte; ton TO the preacher,
and they will encourage him more than
they think of. And if they wish to get
better sermons, that is just the way to
bling it about.

ALL is VANITY.


oh but to turn and walk with thee,
Thou friend So faithful and so kind,
In some sequestered path, and leave
Life's dusty highway far behind
To tread with thee some humble way
That, rough and rugged though ii be,
Should lead to sweeter, truer life
Than all my days have brought to me
To climb the hill, to grope the pass,
To bear all burdens, strong and glad
To leave this tinseIled play, and walk
w. In glorious work day garments clad.
To live and love as those hearts may
'' Who dwell in peace at Natures feet,
To take the rude life Of the hills,
And make it beautiful and sweet.
To hear the song Of birds; 10 feel
The ruddy touch of mountain breeze !;
To read the lessons of the brooks,
And find companionsbip in trees.
To know the blessed, tender calm
ofireside hours; to laugh, to cry,
Ip joy, in grief; and, trusting God,
To love and labor till we die.

SHORT OF MEAT.

A Methodist minister travelling in
Michigan was entertained by fimi-
ly, whose hospitality was greater than
their means, aud who were short Of meat.
In order to spread a good dinner Tor the
parson, it was decided to shay the pet hen
which belonged to the little boy of The
family. This was a sacrifice, but the in-
terests of religi IN and hospitality seemed
to demand it, and so the birds neck was
wrang. After diuner the minister was
asked to lead in family devotions, which
with true clerical courtesy be consented
to do. The family being all called to-
gether all knelt down on the floor which
was of boards, literally adorued with
knot holes. While the prayer was going
on, lonely little chicken, one of the
children of the deceased hen, came run
ming under the house lamentiug the loss
OF its mother. The afflicted little lad
put bis mouth to knot hole aud sympa-
thetically said to the chicken: 'Peepy,
peepy, l didn't Kill your mother. They
killed her for that big cid preachers din
ner."
That "big old preacher" was startled
out of all sense of prayerfulness and sud
denly brought bis devotional exereises to
a close.

the loss in a degree OF hOmOgeneity Of tone. Tho

visor is empowered to revise the list ana III
scribe the names of voters shown " TO MS Sa'iS-
faction - TO be qualified and not already regis
tered. IL Ia easy to see what an opportunity
for wholesale fraud is here afforded. ii INC
LIST he found, for example, to contain hloio
Renublican than Democratic Names does any
bodv suppose the Bourbon supervisor wouid
hesitate to add enough Bourbon names to make
the LIST balance more in accordance with the
sacred right of perpetual Bourbon domination
Perhaps the chivalry Of South Carolina VIII
resent this intimation as slanderOus and unjust,
but we beg to be permitted to say that party
which will stuff ballot-bOxes will also stun
registration list. The only check to fraudu-
lent registration is the " discretion OF super
visor who in all probability is an ex-tissue-
ballot OPERATOR
But this is not the only opportunity for fraud
which the law affords. The supervisor has the
power to decide whether the person who APP
plies TO register is entitled to be registered or
not. His decision is subject to revision by a
board consisting of the assistant supervisors
and himself From their decision there Is
final appeal to the Circuit Court. Practically,
therefore one man decides who shall register
With a large ignorant population like that OF
the South, it is not difficult to see how this man
can use his power so as to keep his party in per-
Detual majority on the registration list. An
ignorant negro. who does not understand the
various stages of appeal, would never get his
case so far as the Circuit Court, and there
would he no chance of a fair decision short OF
that. The supervisor, therefore, has virtually
absolute power both in admitting names to the
list and in revising them after they have been
admitted. He is responsible to nobody save
the Governor who appoints him, and he knows
he will be sustained by the Governor so long as
he'looks out for the interests OF his party. Inc
law is simply infamous. 1t Is designed to pre-
vent fair election, not to promote 1t. III Is
designed to make unnecessary further use OF
the tissue ballot, intimidation, and red-shlrt
tactics generally. 1t is not surprising that the
Republican leaders in the State decided, when
they read the provisions of the law, to advise
their followers to withdraw entirely from par
ticipatiOn in State politics. The Bourbons, like
all other thieves, are sure to fall to lighting
among themselves before long, and then the
Republicans may have chance to secure
honest treatment.
