Capt. John Smith is a historic
name of an ex-soldier who lives
down in Indiana. AS the story
goes, Capt. John had a dog and
the dog IN turn had the rabies.
The captain according to the re-
port, vas out in the yard with his
wife and children, when the dog
began to rave. With great pres,
ence of mind the valiant soldier
made a break for the house and
shut himself in, at the same time
shutting his wife and children out,
leaving them to battle with and be
bitten by the dog. Tsn't it enough
to make a dog mad to have to as
sociate with such a man?

A Word to Parents About Boys.

SNAKE sharp distinctions be-
tween things and principles if you
are rearing men. Your boy must
be made of very poor stuff if you
cannot teach him to be truthful,
upright and loyal. Preach to him
the gospel of affirmation, not ne
CATION. Get his confidence at all
hazards, and keep it. Know all
his follies, all his sins, by his own
willing disclosures, but do not con-
found these two. Teach him to re-
quire OF you all knowledge, and
get, that you may impart to him.
All knowledge is safe from fathers
and. mothers lips. Fill his mind,
his heart, his soul so full of good
and of all high and holy ambitions
that nothing evil can find a crevice
to climb in at.

For the Manning Times.7
Lord Chatham in the DAYS of '76.

BY JOHN L. EASTERLING, NJ. D.
To protest and forewarn against national
harm,
Lord Chatham to parliament went in alarm
His grandeur assembled DER legalized rage,
Mid the wonders of thought that illumined
his age.
A flash from his eye when he spoke of his
king
Lit the scorn on his brow for the war on
the wing.
All saw what was up-their great giant
To tell them America could not be won.
He thus spoke to his peers: Far DER the
blue waves
The crowns brightest jewel" brooks lily
your ways,
And liberty's silent. soft eloquence may
Enchant it so sweetly and charm it away
So far from the reach of our proud lions
paw,
That you'll regret when too late this weak
English law.
Oh! your cause is unjust, and your troops
are too few,
And your foes are so brave that they'll ne'er
bend to you.
Far DER the blue waves France hastens to
And strengthen this gem to battle gainst
you;
Like the rattlesrake coiled, her eye fixed
and steady,
She watches our crown with her fangs ever
ready
Oh She'll stand meath the colors America
waves,
And she'll fight by the side of Americas
braves.
her rage,
As do this lamentable war you would
wage.
Far DER the blue waves there's uniform
new,
Which our soldiers may find most painful
ly true;
There are heroes unknown by liberty
taught,
Who'll teach them the lesson you pier-men
have bought
They'll doff what they please, and they'll
uniformed be,
When their guns are all right and your
teas in the sea-
Oh love and I honor our tried gallant
men,
Yet they'll never return with this beautiful
gem.
Far DER the blue waves your hirelings have
gone too,
Where tomahawks, hatchets, and war-whoops
may join yoa,
Yet the wisdom and courage of those they
will meet,
VIII stamp all this filth in the dust meath
their feet
Go haste thee, my monarch, call back your
brave troops,
And send home to their masters these uni
formed dupes-
O await not the fortunes of war and its
cost,
For your glittering jewel will then have
been lost

church to a crowded house. Every space in
the building was occupied, and his sermon
on the fatherhood of God was full of deep
truth.
Sunday morning Rev. ". D. Kirkland,
D. d., preached in the Methodist church,
Rev. Samuel Lander in the Baptist church,
and Rev J. Marion Rodgers in the Pres
byterian church. We heard DR.. Kirkland's,
and the crowded church felt that the SER
mon was too short, though it occupied sew
enty minutes in delivery. The preaching
and the speaking at the conference was con-
siderably above the average, and the Sum-
merton District Conference may be set down
as the best ever held in the district. The re-
ports of the preachers were in the main en-
couraging.
Crops around Summerton are excellent,
and the people feel satisfied. Wesaw some
beautiful corn and cotton crops. This Sum-
merton land is probably the best farming
lands in the State. All that is needed is
proper cultivation. The people around
here are prosperous, because they raise
their own provisions.
After church Sunday night, we accepted
a seat with Messrs. Horton Rigby and Char
ley Lesesne, and after pleasant ride Of
three hours, we arrived home at two o'clock
in the morning. S. A. n.
