that every act containing moral quality
has By the unalterable law of God the
germ of its own reward. Therefore, how
highly important it is that they should
not only be taught Intellectually, but
should be taught spiritually.
The mind is the gift of our Maker,
and it is the most sacred thing mat has
been entrusted to the care of teachers,
and those who fail to cultivate those
minds but poorly fulfill their mission as
educators. This life Is but dot on the
great line of time. Hence the necessity
of preparing the soul for eternity. When
God has put stain on all human glory,
when knowledge shall have vanished
away, when matter shall again dissolve
to assume new forms of imperishable
beauty, your work will still remain and
be for you an everlasting JOY. Teach
for God and Heaven.

The fathers read it all with care;
The boys read some, but o, fear

Which least of all they really need.
The girls, they all should read it more;
How few of them keep such store
OF past events, that they could tell
When Greece or Rome or Poland fell?
Yes; which Of them could even say
The year and month and very day
On which Napoleon was assailed?
And where, and how, and why he failed

The INTEI11aENcER don't forsake,
We need them both, all through the week,
And through their columns all should

Philosophers should there surmise;
The lawyers, there should tell their worth,
And farmers, there should talk of dearth.
Each and every man in town,

CHRISTIAN TEACHERS.

Please pardon me, Mr.. Editor, for tres
passing on your most valuable space. 1
am simply an ex.school boy. My few
remarks in this short paragraph are di-
rected to teachers only, whose daily occu-
patton is to shape the minds and mould
the character of the young-a very ardu-
Gus. and responsible duty. How beauti-
full when they not only teach them for
the responsible positions of State, which
they must sooner or later fill, but also
teach them to be children of the King of
Kings. Cold morality enlightens, but it
does not make men conscientious. How
important then that teachers should
labor that the prejudices of children
and of youth should be in favor of what
is true, beautiful and good. Neglect of
faithfulness in this matter may be fol-
lowed sometimes by most disastrous
results, affecting the veal or woe OF ma
tioDs for generations to come. When
teachers hearts are in the work it is an
easy matter to find opportunities in tho
routine of intellectual training to i'm
press upon the minds of their STUDENTS

Fiendish Revenge.

A special from Benton, Mo-, to the -Rasta
Dispatch states that Rev. Benjamin
Deering, of St. Louis, had been for some
days past holding series oftemperance
revival meetings. Monday night some
one, as yet unknown, placed in pitcher
of water which a revivalist had placed
upon the desk of the speaker, large
quantity of croton oil. Several persons
drank of the water before service began
and became deathly sick, but not know
ing the cause of their sickness, they failed
to warn Deering not to drink from the
pitcher. Later, during his discourse, he
drank glass of the water and was i'm
mediately taken sick. All who tasted
the water are in a precarious condition.
Two saloon keepers have been arrested
on suspicion, and it is thought that they
poisoned the water in order to end the
services, which were having such de-
pressing efIec! upoa their business.

a signal for demonstration of the peo-

this city and Mobile great crowds gath

salutes, children waved handkerchiefs
and shouted, and all pressed to the car
to shake the hand of the man who led
the cause of the South during the war
times. Many one-legged and one-armed

had shouts of welcome. Mr.. Davis stood

doomed and a dozen bands played, while
the shouts of thousands mingled with
the roar and added to its welcome. The
local military companies and Governor
O'Neill and staff wero at the depot to re.

carriage in which he sat, which was
drawn by four white horses, to make its
way through the surgipg mass of human

ovation was the grandest of his life. The
decorations on the houses are elaborate,
and the United States flag floats from

was handsomely decked, and national
ensigns were conspicuous.
Gen. ]. B. Gordon, from Atlanta, ar

received at the depot by the military.
An escort of the survivors of his old
Sixth Alabama Regiment met him few

on his arrival in speech by Alderman

on the committee that WAS escorting Mr..

Gen. Gordon replied in speech, brief,
but pointed and eloquent. The demon

the storm which killed more than seventy
people outright and wounded about two
hundred others. The disposition of the
dead was almost as dificulta task as the
care of the wounded. Almost every
body was shockingly mutilated, and
speedy interment was necessary. Great
rows of graves were dug, and the botlies,
some in cohins aud others in rude boxes,
were borne to the cemetery in rough
wagons and committed to earth without
individual ceremonies. Almost every
family had suffered the loss of one or
more members, and some households
were all either killed or injured. Every

house in which the ceremony had just
occurred tho assembled guests were
kneeling in prayer. Five seconds later
the mother, brother aud husband Of the
bride were dead, and seven other rela'

were dying. The house was swept away
and scarcely yestige of it remains.
