WISE WORDS.
A kindness is never lost.

A kindness is never lost.
Labor conquers everything.
He conquers who overcomes himself.
Be gentle in manners, brave in deeds.
Resignation dulls the edge Of afiic.
lion.
Mems faults so seldom to themselves
appear.
When man is wrong and won't admit
it, he always gets angry.
The most manifest sign of wisdom is
| continued cheerfulness.
If thou desirest to be borne with, thou
must also bear with others.
Work to day, for you know not how
much you may be hindered tomorrow.
Imprudence is the messenger sent to
invite disease, poverty and other evils.
If our actual wants were as capricious
as our desires we should often go hungry.
Were everybody to sweep before his
own house, every street would be clean.
Light sorrows complain loudly; deep
distress is silent. The brook is noisy;
the lake is quiet.
We should not be discouraged when
all looks dark. Morn springs from night.
The sun that sets at close of day will rise
again tomorrow.
Our good feelings should extend to the
humble as well as to the exalted, as the
sun sheds its light alike on the valley and
the mountain top.
I should question the morality of a
person who is honest merely because
''honesty is the best policy" We should
be actuated by higher motive.
Pride is as cruel beggar as want, and
\ great deal more saucy. When you
have bought one fine thing you must buy
ten more, that your appearance may be
all of piece. 1t is easier to suppress
the first desire than to satisfy all that
follow it.

Visit to Concord.

We left here on Wednesday evening
July 2sth. for Concord. We were met
by Revs Collins, Hasty and Mrs Collins
and carried to the residence of Rev. r. G.
Collins where we remained till the open
ing of the convention the next morning.
Rev. Collins delivered brief address of
welcome which was responded to by Rev.
II. j.. Simmons, after which the chairman
Rev, J. A. Tyler read his annual address.
At this time Prof. j. G. Price, Hon J. G.
Dancy, Rev. J. A. D. Bloice and others
came in and were seated within the bar.
Prof. Price and Mr. Dancy took an ac-
tive part in the proceedings of the con-
vention. Many papers upon different
subjects were read by gentlemen and
ladies. The value of Sunday School
literature was largely discussed, Rev.
Williams of the Presbyterian church and
Prof. Price each urging the Importance
Of churches using their own literature.
Mr.. Robt. McCrca discussed temperance
in all the Sabbath Schools, and endeav-
ored to show why Sabbath Schools
should encourage temperance. Miss
Jennie Harris read an essay on temper
ance.
Rev Collins is getting along nicely
with his people here. They all love him
and his family, and we noticed in his
storeroom supply of groceries sufficient to
last him months to come, given by storm
just before our arrival. We never met
more kind hearted people than those of
Concord. They spare no pains to make
strangers happy. We can readily see
why Rev. ]. NJ. Hill met with such
wonderful success while with those good
people. The festival was a success clear
ing $4S, and all were off for home soon
after eleven o'clock.

There are now eleven guides appointed
to show visitors through the National
Capitol and explain its wonders. No
price is fixed for their services, and they
leave their fee to the generosity of the
visitor, generally receiving fair COM
pensatlon for the long tramp through the
building and stereotyped descriptive
speeches. Many members employ guides
to take their constituents over the build
ing, as they have not the time, and
cheerfully pay rather than be troubled
with the tiresome task. One of the
guides, Benjamin Stewart, of Virginia,
was brought up on President Madison's
homestead, and has fund of anecdotc
about Madison, Monroe, Jefferson and
the other magnates of the Old Domin,
ion. The stories told by the guides about
some of those to whom they show the
Capitol and its inmates are very amusing.
Some of the hackdrivers who carry
strangers about the city to Arlington and
to the Soldiers Home are well posted on
the public buildings and history of the
city, and receive good many extra
''tips" from those who employ them.

Like the flash of thousand Springs,

In his eyes heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth's farewells

In the glow of their far-off grace,

At the Iassage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
