,o,,,,sting Services at the Presbyterian
chureh-The Meeting Last Night.
The subjects appointed were con-
.ld,red last night in the service 10 the
PRESBYTERIAN Church Said the speak
q we are TO pray for rulers tonight
Thew have great many difficult
ouestions TO settle, such "a declaring
var, making peace, contracting ALL
.Oces, &c They are greatly disturb
I'd and perplexed, aud need to be
guided by the wisdom that COMES
from God. OCT Of a list of 2540
rulers we are told that 800 were
driven from their thrones, Ga abdica-
ted, "a committed suicide, IL became
insane. 100 tell in battle. 1913 were
imprisDued, and 45l were assassin
sted.
We are to pray for peace Nearly
every great power in the wurld bias y
SHADING army of not less than 400
900 soldiers. In times of peace there
are four million soldiers on the coL-
liusut Of Europe. The annual cost
il not less than 5000 900 600 The
loss Of life in battle is very great.
The generalization caused by war is
fearful TO contemplate. In many cases
msu return TO their homes averse TO
labor, incorporate proiane, violent.
Gambling and low and vicious
amusements occupy their attention,
and the church aud it, hallowed or
dnSnces are neglected aud treated
With contempt.
Weare to pray for q christian spirit
between employer and employed. The
nlerdependence of men is so great
haiti is folly for one class to Cypress
Ot iUjure another. Wealth is 80 de-
pendent upon labor, and labor SO de-
PENDENT on wealth, that ii s, ems as
lAough there ought to be an easy adj
ustment of any differences that may
arise between them. But in actual
experience we end that these differ
ences are not easily adjusted. Strikes
some form are oftrequent occurrence.
lhe threats of socialist aud anarchist
make the rich man fear Tor his possess
Mons, and even his life. 1t is one Of
'0e wal questions of the times. It's
SOLUTION puzzles the pbilanthropist
AOd the legislator alike. A christian
p'flt, such as we pray for, we have
reason to think will effect more than
ay other means without this spirit.
lae principles OF our holy religion,
y believe, properly applied. will re-
move ali the difficulties between men.
We are to pray for the removal Of
ssaoaal aud race antagonisms. The
su' ot OF some Of our people toward
y Vhlnese, aud the more recent at
t'aue Of dermany toward the Polish

BROAD LANE.

We had quite a fall of snow; &C.
companied, by Jack frost, to make
the sleigh-bells jingle.
Nearly every house in the village
has some musical instrument, even
down to the poor mans organ.
Frog-pond square is visited with a
gloomy appearance; it would take
more than a half a ton of coal to thaw
it up this time.
Mr.. William Berringer and a gen.
tleman friend, of Pennsylvania, are
visiting ladies of this place.
We had quite an interesting pray
er meeting, on Sunday night; and on
their way home one of our bachelors,
with two ladies, upset, on a snow
drift, at the end of the village /;
join the benedicts Harry and avoid
danger. No wonder they upset, with
three in sleigh; as a general thing
it takes two horses to pull one per-
son, in our village.
Mr.. William Jack, an aged and
highly respected citizen near Broad
Lane, departed this life, Friday, half
past 10 O'Clock A. NJ, after a long
lingering illness. Age, rs years, 8
months and days. Text part: ofthe

SUICIDE -On Thursday Afternoon
our town WI IS thrown into great ex
element by the report that Mr.. John
johnson of j ,hnson's Mills had com
mite ed suicide by hanging himself in
his barn betwe en- the hours of IL and
2 O'Clock of that day. The sad news
was brought to town by his son Ely,
who says he was hanging to rafter
with an old halter made of rope and
chain around his neck. 1t is suppos-
ed that he got upon step ladder
which was in the barn and after hav-
ing fixed the moose over his head kick
ed the ladder from under him; and
when found had been dead for some
time.
Mr.. JOhnson's mind has been de-
pressed for several months, but it
was not thought that any danger
would befall him, as he was about the
place looking around in his usual
way. In his death the county looses
a good citizen, the family a devoted
and loving father, the community in
which he lived a good neighbor and
the Church a good and faithful men,

THE PRICE OF A DRINK.

Five cents a glass Does any one thinl
That that is really the price of drink
Five cents glass, / hear you say
Why, that isn't very much to pay.
All, no, indeed, tits very small sum
You are passing over twixt finger and
thumb,
And if that were all that you gave away
1t wouldn't be very much to pay.
The price of drink let him decide
Who has lost his courage and lost his
pride,
And lies grovelling heap of clay,
Not far removed from beast to-day.
The price of drink let that one tell
Who sleeps tonight in murderer cell,
And feels within him the fires of hell.
Honor and virtue, love and truth,
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hopes of manhood. the wreath of fame,
High endeavor and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
As the price of drink, from day to day.
:" Five cents glassI ~ How satan laughed
AS oyer the bar the young man quaffed
The beaded liquor /; for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would do,
And ere the morning the victim lay
With his life-blood swiftly ebbing away,
And that was the price he paid, alas
For the pleasure of taking social glass.
The price of drink if you want to
know
What some are willing to pay for it,
Go through that wretched tenement over
there
With dingy windows and broken stair,
Where foul disease like avampire crawls
With outstretched wings DER the mouldy
walls.
There poverty dwells with her hungry
brood,
Widowed as demons for lack of food !;
There shame in corner crouches low
There violence deals its cruel blow;
And innocent ones are thus accursed
To pay the price of another's thirst.
+" Five cents glass ~ Oh if that were
all,
The sacrifice would, indeed, be small .
But the moneys worth is the least
amount
We pay and whoever will keep account,
Will learn the terrible waste and blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.
" Five cents glass ~ does any one think
That that is really the price of a drink !?

~ and by accident excluded, they may
find recompense of courtesy, in the
plain speech from forty-five American
writers, on International Copy

department, and which is one of the
most striking features of the number.
Lowell opens the argument against
literary theft with quartain in the
most biting vein of Biglow's humor
epigrams of satire, reason, Justice and
exhortation from writers prominent
in every branch of letters follow
and Whittier at the end speaks few
words of Quaker scorn of the Ameri-

McClellan's Bravery by one of his
officers who was companion in arms
as far back as the Mexican war, lends
additional interest to the war time
portrait of Mcclellan, which is the
frontispieee of the number. "Antoine
Louise Barge" the French sculptor,
is the subject of the opening illustra-
ted article, by Henry Eckford, who
gives thoughtful study of the man
and his art, as well as anecdote and
information. In fiction there are the I
opening chapters of Mr.. Howell's new /
story, " The Minister'S Charge" the
minister being the Rev. Mr.. Sewell,

| From the Chorlest0aCn PAPERS,

Mrs. Fannie Rutherford, wife of
Mr.. VIM. Rutherford, and daughter OF
Jacob Metz, Esq, residingnear Wades-
ville, died very suddenly of paralysis,
on Sunday week.
Mr.. Jas. II. Moore's flock of sheep
have been attacked by dogs several
times within the past week or so, and
eight or ten of them killed and num-
Der Of Others injured. Mr.. Frank
Moler succeeded in killing two ofthree
dogs found after the sheep. The flock
of Mr.. Jno. w. Hendricks, we also
learn, was recently attacked by dogs.
Bev. John P. Strider, D. D., Pro-
fessor of Moral Philosophy in Wash
ington and Lee University, died on
the 23d inst, in Stanton, Va. Mr..
Strider, as is known to most of our
readers, was the oldest son of John
III. Strider, Esq, of this county. He
had pursued an extensive literary
course of study in Washington and
Lee, in Leipsic and Edinburgh, then
a theological course in Union Theo-
logical Seminary, Va. Gifted with
strong natural talent and by habit a
most persistent student, Mr.. Strider
made unusual attachments at an early
age, and won widespread reputa-
ton for ability and culture. He had
been but a short time pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at Staun-
ton, when he was elected Professor of
Moral Philosophy in w. & L. Uni
versity, which eminent place he held
till his early death. The literary
world has lost bright ornament, the
church an able minister, and his death
brings a sad bereavement and disap-
pointment to his family, who have
our sympathy in their afflictien.
