HAZLEHURsT, March 4, 1884,

To the Editor Of the Brookhaven Leader:
ask little space in your popular jour
nal To relate an incident full of good cheer
and good fruits, and characterized by sim
cere love to Christ and His cause. Two
weeks ago during my semi monthly visit
to Brookhaven, 1 learned that the good
ladies of the Presbyterian church contem-
plated giving an entertainment on the 18th
ult. for the benefit OF the pastor and his
family. l was invited 10 be present, and
OF course my expectations we're raised in
antic patton OF an enjoyable occasion. Cir
cumstances prevented my attendance;
nevertheless the entertainment was held
i'll the Presbyterian church at the appoint
ed time. From all accounts it Was well
attended, and delightful evening was
spent i'll social intercourse, singing Sunday
school souIs, and III contributions OF u
substantial character. The last were nu-
merous and valuable, as the sequel will
show.
Before leaving Brookh1ven on yester-
day, | learned that the two boxes contain
ing something desirable for the inner and
outward man were en- route for the Presby-
terrain Mause at Hazlehnrst. Upon my ar
rival here, | spied the veritable boxes
bearing my name. Very soon Presbyte-
rian wagon conveyed this valuable freight
to the Manse, and in few moments the
task of opening the boxes and asserting
the articles began i'll the presence of a
grateful and delighted family. Dry Goods
in the form of several dress patterns,
bleached domestics, linen towels, handker-
chiefs, hannels aud lace were severally dis
played to view. tinny work box was
appropriated by the little girl of the house
hold.
Next in order a good assortment of arti-
cles, principally for the table, were open
ed, and the very sight OF them made us
laugh for joy. Not that we were in abso-
lutte need, but we read in them the hearty
good will of onr friends at Brookhaven.
This last embraced several fine hams, cof-
fee, sugar, rice and starch, sufficient sup
ply for several months. Then there came
in order lot of canned fruits and vegeta-
bles, pickles, soap, salt and two sets of
goblets. The market value of these arti-
cles is considerable, but the Christian af-
lection and generosity which prompted
their bestOwal hold a much higher esti-
mate in our hearts.
| simply wish to add, that we all feel
very grateful aud happy for this beautiful
cence. May the Lord richly reward the
pious and thoughtful ladies who arranged
the entertainment, and all others who par
ticipated in its festivities.-it was grand
success from first to last-especially in its
closing scene. Dear brethren and friends,
may the Lord hold you all in lasting re-
membrance. Your grateful pastor,
w. b. BINGHAM.

The .Ose- Black sheep.

In Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,

If the question is rot considered impeTti

If the answer is not considered i'm

One Of its editors received the nomi.

recollection, under a resolution

for Congress and U. ). Grant for
President at the ensuing elections.
Another of the Herald editors
if we mistake not has openly and
boldly advocated the support oil
Grant in preference to Tildeu.
Esop tells of a jackass that
donned dead lion skin and then
sailed forth into the forests. The
ass keenlv enjoyed seeing the other
animals flee from him ia terror, as all
of them we're afraid of a lion. To
add to their fright, the ass thought
he would roar like lion. He made
the attempt, but a miserable and
very loud bray was the result. As
soon as the frightened animals heard
the familiar sound, they stopped and

Ii the answer OF the Post is not
entirely satisfactory, we beg to refer
the Herald t. the so called "leading
Democratic paper Of Copiah county"
whose editor, though an old Re-
publican, has been charging about in
Democratic lion skin for the past
few months to the CONSERVATION of all
the honest Republican beasts ia that
locality, and to his own infinite
amusement and profit. How fatal
that he ever tried to roar like Il lion !!

for many weeks, was carried out
of his burning house. and was com
pelled to witness the loss Of all that
he had iabored so long to bring to-
grther.
Dunbarton was one of those old
fashioned, RAMBLING buildings, which
had been added TO from time 10 time,

Our editorial of last week on
Messrs Meade and Burnett having
been miscon, trued by some, we dc.
sire to state that the article was on.y
intended to apply to them from a
political standpoint, and as concerns
their political acts and relations.
The comparative private and social
status of men is a subject The
LEADER does not assume to discuss
or determine, and we hope this will
always be understood by it's readers.
