The Meeting ut E3hcs,czcr.

Mr.. EolroR: There, has been
for the past week a meeting ia
Progress ut Ebcnozor church iii
Smithville township. There have
been many bright conversions, and
it is q rare thing that it has been
the good fortune of anyone to lis
ten to sermons Of more force. pow.
cr and pathos than those delivered
by Rev. VIM. Rainwators.
On Friday he took as a text the
parable Of the sowcr; a text well
suited to his audience, who were
composed Of farmers. The preach
er described the sowing and
planting Of the crop, the cultiva-
ton and gathering of.the same !;
this was done in graphic terms,
and his hearers hung fcloscly to
the plain, tcrsc and homcly words
Of truth rs they fell frshh the lips
Of this dcvout man Of God. IIc
then applied the parable spiritually
and spoke of the seed that fell by
the Wuyslde and those that fell
among bries and among the stones !;
he implorcd his hearers to remove
the bricrs and the stones he
painted III fearful terms the spirit
ual seed cloaked by tic pleasures
OF this world, and then in
gentle and persuasive tones he
showed them the way to saliva
ton, and invited them to come
and begin to SOW seeds in the
good ground. Many came forward
and availcd themselves of tho on.
rortnnity, and the meeting in all
respects was glorious success.

sovorni Gro,vsomo Inventions.

With view Of robbing the grave OF
its tcrrols somebody has patented d
lining to conceal tho mother earth.
This lining consists of evergreen ut
tachcd to cloth or mating. After tile
coffin Is lowered tho decoration can be
pulled out and used again until the
evergreen wears out or turns brown.
The inventor proposes to bring tile
sconic effects within tho rcnch Of lNoios
people by having nn imitation of ovcr.
green painted on canvas for cheapc,
use.
Another Of these funeral minded In.
vcntors has patented what he calls q
"cab for pail bearers" The vehicle
hns side doors and will hold eight per.
sons, two of whom, however must ride
backward. The design seems to be to
savc tho expense of an extra carriage,
ut tho same timo encouraging sociabil-
Ity Oh tile part OF those performing the
last sad ofiicos
And, as II this was not enough, an,
other inventor has obtained letters on
what he calls IA funeral carriage. .
llo carries the coffin and the bearers,
and II tliero are not too many inonrners
he accommodates the whole procession
with one vehicle The funeral cur,
rjagc is built like an omnibus, with Il
compartment on top for the coffin.
The inventor provides slsids, an endless
chain and a pulley for running the
coffin up into tho place intended for II
over the heads of tho bearers. Cor. st.

When this Cruel Warts Over.

And it came to pass in the four
tecnth year after 10, that Ben,
the son Of his father, and an hon
est farmer ofthe land of Edgefcld,
was sought out from among men
and lccted Governor over the
tribes Of the land Of South Caro-
lima.
Forty and two years old was he
when nominated and he had a
hard road 10 travel before he
reached the goal, but after many
days of toll, (for he was a hover
OF stone and drawer of watcr)
and after having been scorncd, re.
bukcd, denounced and insultcd by
the wicked sons Of King Ring
Rule, he got there all tho came !,
and did reign even in Columbia.
And he did that which was
right in the sight Of the Lord ac-
cording to all that tho people dc.
mandcd.
lie removed the high places and
broke the ring TINT had been op-
pressing the poor, and he did
also break in pieces the constitu-
ton and the laws Of the land,
which had been sanctioned and
not vetoed by the wicked tyrants,
Chamberlain, Scott and Moses Of
old, and he did cut down expenses
from Dan to Bcrshcbn.
And tho Lord was with him,
and he prospcrcd whithcrsocvcr he
went forth, and rcbellcd against
the ring and served them not
He sInotc the evil doors even un-
to the soa-coast, and the borders
thereof, even from Sumter county
TO the "battlemcnts Of the battery
in Columbia"
And they would fain have bull.
dozcd him within the walls Of the
Opera House, but verify he enter
not into pandcmonium, rcmcm-
boring tho commandments Of the
Lord: "My son, if sinners cnticc
the, consent thou not"
And the Governor did carry
away some Of tho Ringstcrs into
captivity, and did put them in
prison, even in Columbia by the
river Congarce, because they did
wickedly in the sight Of the Lord,
and against taxpayers Of the land

An Incubus from Africa.

A gentleman who has brought m
African boy from place thousand
miles from the coast to London com.
planned to the magistrate that the lad
was insubordinato. lie knew that ho
must not flog him or put him in irons,
which might havo been done in Africa
or on board ship, and would have the
desired effect, and IN default OF such a
proceeding ho wanted tho magistrate to
have him put in tho coils for fow
hours Mr. Vaughan told tho appli.
cant That that would be fnlso hnprison-
mont; ho could not help him in any
