Irna and Intere sting.

It ls fact worthy of remark that throughout the whole animal creation, in every country and cline of the earth, the most useful animals eat vegetable food. The all powerful elephant and the patient untiring camel, in the torrid zone; tho horse. the OK, or the donkey, in the tenn porate; and tho reindeer in the frigid zone, obtain all their muscular power from natures simplest productions-the veg etable Kingdom. But all the flesh-eating animals keep the rest of the animated ere ation in constant dread of them. Their own flesh is undt for other animals to eat having been itself made out of flesh, and is most foul and offensive. Great strength, fleetness of foot, usefulness, cleanliness and docility, are characteristics of vegeta, ble eaters. N T. LsdgT.

Oh, the overwhelming glory of the first sixty seconds in Heaven! Methinks we will juOt stand and look and look, and look.
 The Kings wagons took Jacob up to see his lost boy, and so I really think that the Kings wagons will take us up to see our lost kindred. How long is it since Joseph went out of your housholdY How many years is it now, last Christmas, or the 14th of next monthY It was dark night when he died, and stormy day it was at the burial; and the clouds wept with you and the winds sighed for the dead. The bell at Greenwood's gate rang only few mo- ments, but your heart has been tolling, toll. ing ever since. You have been under a delu- sion, like Jacob of old. You have thought that Joseph was dead. You put his name first in the birth record of the family Bible, and then you put it in the death record of the family Bible, and you have been deceived. Joseph Is yet alive. He is more alive than you are. Of all the six- teen tlpusand millions of children that statist& ians say have gone into the future world, there is not one of them lead, and the Kings wag- ons will take you up to see them. You often Stink how glad you will be to see them. Have you never thought, my broth- CT, my sister, how glad they will be to see youg Jacob was no more glad to see Jo- seph than Joseph was to see Jacob. Every time the door in Heaven opens they look to see # it is you coming iu. Joseph, once standing in the palace, burst ont crying when he thought of Jacob-afar off. And the Heaven of your little ones will not be fairly begun until you get there. All the kindnesses shown them by imunortals will not make them forget you. There they are, the radiant throngs that went out from your homes! i throw kiss 10 the sweet darlings. They are all well now in the palace. The crippled child has sound foot now.

Bob TaYIor's Strength.

The following from the Knoxville
Journal, republican, relative to the
action of the late State democratic
convention in re-nominating Coy.
Taylor, is very suggestive. 1t shows
that Bob Taylor is really the
strongest man the democrats could
have nominated, for it demands
what the republicans of the south
have not been furnishing. a "pure,
able, respectable man." Tie Jour-
mol says:
"The late convention has cut out
the running for the republics MS. 1t
has rendered absolutely necessary
the nomination of pure, able, re-
spectacle candidate fer governor, Il
yourg man and a man OF executive
and Formative ability. The dele
gates to the gubernatorial repubiie
can convention have response
bility resting upan their shoulders
that is heavier than a like
convention has borne in Ten
nessee for many years. On their
wisdom depends to a large extent
the future of the party in Tennessee.
A good candidate, a good executive
committee, and what we have never
had. a thorough organization of the
party in the State, will give US as
good IL chance to carry the State as
the democrats have"

will show enough respect for his ap-
pointment and purpose to attend
the meeting. This may involve the
cessation of business for at least one
hour, but God will not permit q
man to lose while attending TO His
business. We hope every man who
can possibly do so-and Provi-
dence asks nothing impossible-will
attend the meeting this morning.

AT THE TABERNACLE.
A Sermon to Mothers preached
Yesterday.

One of the most interesting and
impressive services that has been en-
joyed by the large audiences that at
tend Mr.. Pearson's meetings was the
one yesterday, to mothers.
There we're about 1900 people pres
ent and the great evangelist made a
very affecting discourse. He showed
by reference to the bible that upon a
mothers influence depended the char,
acter of the child, and urged that all
mothers be very careful what kind of
influences were thrown around the
children, for even at very early age
evil habits could be formed that
would remain with them all through
life. His renarks were followed hy
prayer by f.ev. DIR. Rankin and a
song by Rev. W. d. Akers, which
were equally as impressive.
''PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD"
Although the rain had a tendency
to keep many away from the Taber-
nacle last night, large congregation
was present, who attentively listened
to a powerful discourse from the
above text, delivered by Rev. Mr..
Pearson. The text was divided into
three propositions. viz:
1. Why should | prepare to meet
God :
, How shall | DreDorn tO moet
God ?
3. When shall I prepare to meet
God ?
His arguments in every proposition
were powerfully convincing, and ev
cry answer was Il quotation from
scripture. A prayer for the business
men Of AsheViIle preceded the sermon
and a collection taken up to defray
expenses.
