A clergyman was called to attend the funeral of gentleman who was, in hIs life, connected with the Spiritualists, aud who had not been habitual attendant up- on religious services. A friend of the family thought it would be quite proper aud, according to the conventionaliiies, to have a clergyman called in, So they sent for the clergyman of the neighborhood, and he went through with the services In the midst of them the widow of the de. ceased arose and, beiug inspired by the spirit of the late lamented, proceeded to indulge in a discourse, not incoherent, but quite consecutive, and relating directly to the influence of the christian church, and the ministry particularly, aud not specially complimentary to either. And the late lamented, through this medium, took oc. casIon to warm the particular minister who was conducting the services. The friends of the deceased were somewhat taken aback by the demonstration which, of course, was altogether unexpected. They waited upon the clergyman afterwards and tried to explain. They said, "Of course, we had no idea of this sort of thing, or we would not have invited you here. She couldn't help it. She was taken posses sion of by the spirit of her husband. We are very sorry for it." "Oh," said he, in a weary kind of way, "it's all right. I've attended great many funerals in my life, and had great variety of experiences, but this is the first time was ever ssssed by the corpse.

THE FOOL.

Now 1t is night. Tree surrounded MfrTored is naught in the pool but the image of
 faint star,
 Wrestling and grooming, the trees Clasp their strong arms round each other call L ing for help from afar. Lost winds among them are wandering, Chiding, bewailing, entreating; then rushing
 into the night, Dashing the leaves from the branches, Hurling the bat from his pathway, chasing the
 owl in his flight. See all have sunk into silence Harll, how the dry twigs are cracking; forth
 from his lair comes beast. Down by the pool he has bent him. Dances the star in it's bosom, stirred by jaws
 red from the feast Cooled is his fever. Majestic, - Stalks he away thro' the gloom. Silent yet all
 things that are, For it is night. Tree surrounded, MiITored is naught in the pool but the image of
 one faint star. l..

MIR. BLAINE's REPORT. T.-One evening MT. Blaine was being entertained at dinner by distinguished Londoner, and the con. versation turned on the relations between Great Britain and the United States. One of the members of the British parliament who sat by MT. Blaine good naturedly criticised Mir. Blaine for the form of one of his dispatches to the British govern. ment when Blaine was secretary of state.
 '1t seemed to me at the time" said the English statesman, "that you were little discourteous to England when you said in your dispatch to her maiesty's government that the United States expects such and such things of England.
 Mir. Blaine turned to his critic with the utmost nonchalance and remarked: "You forget, my dear sir, that merely copied phrase of a dispatch from her majesty's government to the United States in the darkest period of our civil war. The ta- bles are now turned. Then, when we were in trouble, England expected my country to do such and such things. Now, if you will pardon me, the United States IS in position to quote the phraseoloRy and send it back again. "-N. r. World.

I<eeGy River Association.

The Reedy River Baptist Association
met in the Newberry Baptist church
last week. The meeting was appointed
for Tuesday but owing to the high water
and the waskouts in the railroads a
quorum was not present until Wednes-
day afternoon, when the train came IN
from Laurens. The association was
organized by the election OF the follow
ing officers DR.. J. 4. Barksdale, Mod
orator; Rev. J. B. Parrot and Or. l..
S. Fuller, clerks; Rev. }. d. Pitts,
Treasurer.
This association is one of the Oldest
in the State and one Of the foremost III
benevolent work. 1t is composed of 5S
churches. Each church is entitled to
be represented by three delegates max
ing total of 96 members III tue body.
This association has about 1000 mem
bers all of whom are embraced IN the
counties Of Newberry and Laurens.
The main object of the body is to
devise means to further the missionary
work of the denomination. State mis-
sions perhaps receive a more LIBERAL
support than any other branch of mis-
sions. The object of this branch is to
plant churches in the destitute Sec
tions of our own State. 1t is also doing
great work in foreign fields, sustain
ing missionaries in Japan, China, Italy,
Mexico, Africa and the islands of the
sea.
One of the most int resting services
held by the Association was the mis-
sionary meeting on Thursday night.
Rev. G. 2. Scott made an able report on
the foreign mission work of the Bap-
tist Church, together with a report on
woman's work in behalf of missions.
Rev. w. II. Hundley then made an
eloquent and earnest address on the
subject of missions which we have
never heard equaled.
Col. James A. Hoyt followed. in a
talk eninently practical and interest
ing. There was large audience pres
ent.
The sessions of the association We're
well attended by the citizens and the
discussions of the various topics We're
interesting and instructive.
The next meeting of the association
will be held next year at Clinton.
In writing to The Herald and News
of the meeting here delegate says: ::
I'm meeting with the New berry church
the association felt the privilege of
meeting with church which once
numbered among its members such
men as J. B. O'Neal!, Y. J. Harrington,
Drayton Nance and others Of high
esteem and great merit. The citizens
of Newberry sustained right royalty
their long established reputation for
hospitality. This meeting Will be
long and pleasantly remembered by the
visiting delegates.

The Result of Merit.

When anytl g stands a test of fifty
years among discriminating people,
it is pretty good evidence that there is
merit somewhere. Few, if any, med
icines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked
the progress of Brandreth's Pills,
which, after trial of over fifty years,
are conceded to be the safest and most
effectual blood purifier, tonic and altera-
tive ever introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that Brandreth's Pills perform all that
is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who re-
gard them with the greastest favor are
those who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain
or sugar-coated. 1t.
