Theatre and Ralig;on.

Rev. Thos. F. Gaior of the Uni
versity of the South preached in
Nashville last Sunday on the rela-
tions of christianity to current life.
He said: christian morality is
based on the recognition of con-
science. The object of the religi-
Gus life Is to make character, to de
yelop, educate and encourage con-
science. The law is law of liber
ty' which must be applied by the
individual, and the interference
with this exercise of the individual
conscience tends to decline of a
manful and robust christianity,
whether that interference be, as in
the middle ages, by abuse of the
confessional, or, as in modern times
by an unwise discrimination against
particular forms OF recreation. |
deny that the theatre or dancing,
etc., are essentially or necessarily
evil. l deny that the Manichean
view of the world was true when it
asserted the inherent evil of mate
rial things. / urge every man and
woman to look out for those temp
tations to which they are especial
ly liable. aud not to judge their
neighbors. For the world con-
demned in scripture was not par
ticular set of amusements, but
system, a force, a tendency that
lead away from God and towards
bell. 1t might be different for diff
ferent men. 1t might be business
or pleasure or any one of the thou
sand forms of trial that come to
men. Let each man take care and
not get form of godliness without
the power, and think that by alb
staining from two or three specified
things and doing as he pleased
by others he was satisfying all the
requirements of the gospel. Men
could be slaves to pleasure, slaves
to money, slaves to dress or slaves
to a narrow, morbid, unhappy reli-
giousness. thought that whatever
else it was, the christian temper
ought to be brave, trustful, healthy
and manly and broad

Red Bug
By ANOTHER ONE OF THEM.

The article in last weeks issue of
THE CITIZEN under the above cap
ton has been read lby me, one of
the pupils of old Red Bug Acade-
my, and the idea of reunion of all
of the pupils some time in May or
June struck me most forcibly. The
occasion of a coming together of the
girls and boys of the school with
whom my happiest days were
passed would bring to me more
pleasure than any other meeting
Yes, we did have disadvantages and
hardships, yet it was at a time
when the young blood of the south
had caught the spirit of the times
and we like the older ones, were
fired by the desire and determine
ton to rise from the PROSTATE posi-
ton which war, defeat and loss of
property had placed US in. Is it
surprising then that with the disad-
vantages of which you correctly and
truthtully speak, that we sought
earnestly after the priceless pearl,
and that there were woven such
ties of friendship and such feelings
of kindly sympathy? Twenty years
or more have passed and each one
has taken his or her road in life,
and it is not strange that the idea
of reunion should have been sug-
gested, when we should meet again
TO recount our trials and hardships,
our defeats and successes in life
and TO give to each such sympathy
as we were won't to do in our school
days. To meet again as men and
women "sub tegnaine patulea fagi,
where the branches of the large
beeches wide-spreading gave us
shade and shelter and where our
young hearts and muscles were
made the stronger by the training
Ghere enforced, can be but pleas
ure and a day we'll spent by the
old pupils. You speak of one of
our young men who fell in the very
first flush of his young manhood,
who was cut down by an untimely
death when his young heart pulsed
with strongest desires and bright
est anticipations. We all remem-
Der our school mate and fellow
Henry Nays Splendid young man
strong, noole, full of promise and
ambition, nearly fitted for life's bat
tie and success. His was an un-
timely death and life of usefulness
was cut short IN his taking away.
And still another no less dear to us
might be mentioned. He was the
soul of honor, bright, generous,
communicable, brave-and while
spared little longer than Henry,
he was taken away when life was
lust unfolding its lures of useful
ness and when the dawn of sue
cess sted its first ray! l allude to
Hawkins Westmoreland. Who
does not remember him? l am in
full accord with your idea OF re-
union. Let us have such 8 spread
as was our custom on examination
occasions and such a crowd as
greeted the presentation of "The
Carpenter of Rowen," Rivals" and
other DRAMAS which the histrionic
talent (arnateur as it was } of the
school played to charmed and crit
icai audiences. Let us hear from
Others, and with a concert of ac-
tion we cs,n make the most enjoya

physicians asked bin what he cup
posed caused the pain. ''Why, /
swallowed my plate and four false
teeth while asleep the other night"
was the answer. The patiend was
put upon liquid food and all the
examination made by the medicos
failed to locate the swallowed artic-
lie. The mans sufferings were les
sened considerably and as test it
was decided to give him little
piece of beefsteak. This was done
and the poor patient was wrlthing
in agony as soon as he had swallow
ed a mouthful. 90, my Cod" he
exclaimed, "this is killing me. l
know / shall die" and numerous
other such speeches. The ply si-
clans and nurses could hardly keep
him in bed-he suffered so much.
Again he broke forth in exclama-
tions. This time he said: 20, how
/ suffer. l can feel the teeth tear
ing my stomach apart. O." He
did not finish until nurse opeaed
a telegram from his wife. 1t read /:
Found teeth under bed.' The
suffering man, who had swallowed
his teeth, got up and dressed, paid
his bill and left the hospital with
out word. This is only an illua--
tration OF what imagination will do.

A San Antonla letter says: Joe
Cochran is an able-bodied, full
blooded negro of thirty years. He
is one of triplets and both his
brothers are living. Lately he has
married a negress, about twenty
years old, also full blooded. On
Wednesday Anna gave birth to
three children, two boys and a
girl. They have taken kindly to
the bottle and are thriving. The
girl baby is very nearly the average
size, the boys are each something
smaller. These two boys came into
the world together for the sufficient
reason that from the shoulder to
elbow they are closely joined. They
have two heads, two necks, four
forearms, two bodies and four legs,
but are indissolubly Joined for life.
So far as they have afforded oppor-
tuuity for observation they are OF
two separate minds and tempera-
ments. The pains and wants OF
one do not affect the other. They
are exact duplicates in form and
features. They have been visited
by a large number of curiosity low

An Unparalleled Migration.

English sparrows were first i'm
ported into this country at Brook
Ign, New York, in 1850. They did
not thrive, and two years later an
other colony was imported. They
multiplied and spread until in 1S7C
the sparrow was difiused pretty
generally through the eastern
states, the race being increased by
mportations al several sea ports in
1858 and following years. Since
then these birds have multiplied
marvelously, and have extended
widely, until they are the pest of all
our county east of the Mississippi,
and wide area beyond that river.
1t ''goes vest steadily, and leaping
over intervening regions beyond
the ninety -seven,h degree of longi-
tude, finds first habitat in Utah,
and then passing to the Pacific is
met with in and around San Fran
cisco. No such migration has ever
been known in the worlds history,
and the bird thrives in its new con-
dition, equally well in the delta OF
the Mississippi, or among the hills
of New England. Everywhere it is
prolific, and rears its five or six
broods year with the most reck-
less disregard of consequences. The
sparrow is at home anywhere. He
reached New Brunswick and Mon
treal by tramp ride in box cars
and had no sooner arrived than he
set up his household gods, and be-
gan his fearful mission of propaga-
ton and diffusion. In 1850, the
English sparrow in America occu-
pied the area of single tree or
tree box. Now he disports himself
over an an area Of eight hundred
and eighty five thousand square
miles in the United States, and of a
hundred and fifty thousand in
Canada. American Agriculturist
