prevail who succeeds in beating back
one who is trying to get justice, or
fastens a wrong upon one who is at
tempting to throw it off? In my opin-
ion no consideration of dollars and
cents can make it right, nor should any
tenderness for name, fame, friends or
prospects persuade a man from putting
his foot squarely upon it.

Right you are, right you are said

A Growing City.

While other cities in the south have
astonished tie world with their mar
velous growth in the last twenty years,
Bristol, on the Virginia line, has de-
veloped into thriving, busting, NOV
ing city, with large possibilities ahead,
and with the completion OF the new
railroad now being constructed, will
receive new impetus onward, and
forward, and in a few years will doub-
lie her population and become one Of
the most important manufacturing
and commercial points in the south.
The city is situated in the centre Of a
fine country, with ample resources,
and these resources are being rapid

We hear that the Democrats Of
Greene county are likely to run Capt.
j. H. Robinson for the Legislature in
that county. Capt. Robinson is one
of the ablest lawyers in this end of the
State, and if he should make the race
would no doubt be elected by a fine
majority. If the Democrats would
put out their ablest and best men for
the Legislature, gain of several

ciates rightly studied Gods Word; had they
eomprehended Christ's repeated intimations of
his resurrection; had not anxiety gotten the
start Of faith, they need not have had such
concern when they found the sepulcher empty.
Study the Bible. Exercise faith.
2 Notice the different motives of action in
men as contrasted with those in women. The
various accounts studied, and we find women
first at the sepulcher, who, finding it empty,
hasten TO inform the Apostles. The men were
at their lodgings, probably philosophising on
what would be the outcome of ChrIst's organ
izstiOn. perhaps looking up Old Testament ac-
counts in an attempt to see if they could get
any inkling of Jesus's future. Meanwhile
women were lowering about the tomb in an
effort to do honor to Christ's body. 1t is a fact
that Christianity gave woman wider sphere
than ever before though she has waited till the
10Th century to begin to occupy it as she should
and can. Owing much to Christ specially in
the line of magnifying their influence and ele-
waiting their rank, it is no wonder everywhere
We find women most devoted to Christianity.
3 Value angelic influence, sympathy US,
IL, 49, and help.
4. This lesson is full of instruction, comfort,
and argument for mortals as such. Death is not
the end, but more fifty the beginning. 1t is a
mere incident in our eternal existence. Hope
blows zephyrs of comfort over every cemetery
and fans every dying brow.

He Swallowed n Fish.


Probably one OF the happest men in the
County of Burlington is Seth Bennett, of
Juliustown. who mas just succeeded in getting
rid OF one of the most unwelcome guests man
ever had. Several months ago Mr.. Bennett
was walking out in the country, and took &C.
casion TO slake his thirst at a small brook by
the roadside As he was drinking he felt
pretty sure that he had swallowed something
in the water that he ought not to. and as he
travelled along he almost imagined he could
feel il move. The longer his mind dwelt upon
the matter the more dissatisfied and miserable
he became. lie didn't enjoy his food as was
his wont. and for many days complained of a
pain in the pit Of his stomach.
Within day or two he was seized with vom-
iting accompanied with considerable distress,
which lasted for some time and resulted in his
vomiting up fish about three inches in length.
This he took to PembertOn and showed il TO n
physician there who pronounced it a species of
pike. IL was perfect specimen of the fnny
tribe with head, fins and tail. Since he got
rid of it Mr.. Benefits health has improved,
aud his mental equilibrium has been entirely
restored, but hereafter he will never take q

Miles, to signal to Antelope Springs, the Swiss helms, and Stein's Peak, that the hostile Apaches were returning to Arizona, and ordering every water hole carefully guarded, and ordering couriers to notify the settlers. The General from what he has learned, believes that the hostiles are heading for the Dragons, where he thinks they intend to make 8 stand. That they have already reached the Sul- phur Spring valley will readily be be- lie7ed when we state that Mir. Davis, we'll known rancher, arrived in this city last evening and stated that he came across four dead beeves yester- day, that had only been killed g few hours. and numerous Indian signs. It would be well for cattlemen and ranchers to keep close lookout for hostiles during the next few days.
