Elder c. 3. Lucas. after an absence Of two
years, returned, last Saturday night, on q
short visit to his many friends, and especially
10 see his old charge, the congregation of the
Christian church. This church has had many
good pastors, but never one who seemed to
so thoroughly possess the hearts of the con-
gregatlon. Elder Lucas preached Sunday
morning. to q full church, his sermon occu-
| plying q n o and . half. At night he again
spoke for more than q half hour. Monday
and Tuesday nights he preached, each time to
full houses. There were three additions to
the church by confession. At the close Of
services, Tuesday night, he announced that
he would start home next morning, and the
whole congregation pressed forward to tell
him goodbye. The scene was one which
will not soon be forgotten by those who were
present. With tears streaming down his
cheeks he grasped each extended hand and
uttered some word Of love. hope or encour-
agement. Scarcely a dry eye was to be seen,
and strong men, whose eyes are unused to
tears, wept like school girls. They went to
bid him God-speed: they came away without
having spoken; but the firm hand clasp. the
clenched teeth and streaming eyes spoke
more eloquent words of love than human
tongue could utter. ALI seemed to feel that
they would look upon his face no more. Some
shook his hand and hurrledly left the room,
to be alone with their sorrow; others held on
to his hand as long as possible, and then started
off, turned to take \ last look, and then went
back again. 1t wal q sorrowful scene, some
thing like the death of an aged patriarch,
whose family had gathered to tax their last
farewell look at the face Of the loved one,
But all things must end, and at last the part
ing was over.
A skiff ride. when the thermometer and the
wind are just right. is q genuine pleasure: but
If there be a bevy Of fascinating young ladies
at the end of the ride. then the pleasure of
the trip is doubled. So thought Eph King,
Bird Campbell, Jim Hays, Msrcellus Harri-
son and Will Qusrles q few days ago. They
~leisurely pulled their boat up the river about
four miles. and stopped at the hospitable res
idence of Mrs. Florida GIsddy, Gust to zee if
Tom WAS ut hOme). Tom and Jess. and Joe
were at home. So were Mrs. Grady, and
Miss Sarah and Mlss Laura, and it happened
that Miss Maggie Marshall and Miss Lutte
Chambers Were there on a visit. Twas q
galaxy of beauty whose slightest smile would
well repay the ris,: of life or limb. The
young gentlemen spent a delightful day (the
young ladies' have not yet reported), but to-
ward night the sky became DER cast with
sombre clouds; vivid lightning cleft the
roaring air and the angry thunder growled
and shook the quaking earth. Tue young
men hastily said goodbye, and rushed to their
bonny boat. and made vigorous efforts to get
to town before the storm should break upon
them and spoil their good clothes. They
| pulled with q will, and as they were going
down stream, made good progress. But they
had scarcely Travelled q mile when the wind
and rain overlook them. The river became
dangerous. "What shall we doY' was the
common question. The risk was too great to
90 on, apd a fearful night was upon them. At
last Eph King, Will Bolton and Will Quarles
said they were gong back to Mrs. Graddy's,
and the others said they would rather walk to
town through rain and mud and darkness
than 60 back and endure the misery of an
inspection by the young ladies. The party
divided, Bird Campbell. Jim Hays and Mar
cellus Harrison walking 10 town through
mud, rain and Stygian darkness. Eph King,
Will Bolton and Will Quarles took the boat,
headed her up steam, and, after a hard and
dangerous pull, landed at the place they had
left two hours before. They slowly, and with
drenched clothing, climbed the hill to the
residence. They stepped on the porch and
knocked. One of the young ladies came to
the door, threw it wide open, and the flicker
ing light fell upon the three wretched, mud
dy, soaked, bedraggIed and pale young
men. 1t Immediately flashed through her
brain that the boat had capsized, and these
three were alone left to tell the sorrowful
tale. With q shrek that sounded loud above
the raging storm, she notified all within the
house that Bird Campbell, Jim Hays and
Marcellus Harrison were drowned. Another
young lady ran to the door, and another
shrek followed. Each ofthe four young ladies'
went through this performance, and so rap
