A DisagreeabIe Duty.

You have disagreeable duty to do
at twelve O'Clock. Do not bIacken nine
and ten and eleven, and all between,
with the color of twelve. Do the work
OF eacn, and reap your reward in peace.
so when the dreaded moment in the
future becomes the present YOU shall
meet it walking in the light, and that
light will overcome its darkness. The
best preparation is the present well
seen to, the last duty done. For this
will! keep the eye so clear and the body
so full of light that the right action will
be perceived at once, the right words
will rush from the heart to the lips, and
the man, full of the Spirit of God. be-
cause he cares for nothing but the will
of God, will trample on the evil thing
in love, and be sent, it may be, in a
chariot OF fire to the presence of his
Father, or stand unmoved amid the
cruel mockings of the men he loves

Sunshine.

Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear,'
is line that ought to be said or sung
every hour of the Christians life. Some
good people are the prey of naturally
respondent temperaments. Such need
double supply of grace and must pray
for it. So must they whose dige stion is
weak and whose nerves are over-sensi-
tive. The worries of business or house
hold cares, the loss of sleep or the de-
rangement of the bodily machinery, put
such Christian folk under cloud pretty
often. To-day they sing like larks, to-
morrow the barometer goes down and
they are in the dumps again. Such
people should look after their bodily
health as a spiritual duty. Moreover,
they should keep their Christian faith
where it would not be exposed to every
east wind or drenched to death by every
shower that falls. Keep good supply
of tonic Bible texts within reach, and
take them freely the next time that an
ague fit comes on.-Rev. T. L. Cuyler.

Rebel DeSertiOn.


In the winter of 1S64-65, the whole
sale desertion of rebel soldiers into the
Union lines threatened to break up the
Confederate army, especially Lees
army. They came in night after night
in squads of from ten men to whole
company, often bringing their arms
with them. This anecdote is related in
regard to i'll. While Union private
was bathing in the North Anna (Va.)
river, five Confederate soldiers with
guns in their hands, came to the bank
and took aim at the swimmer, one of
them shouting: "Come in here, Yank,
out of the wet!" The Federal was
quite sure he was "done for" and at
once obeyed the order. After dressing
himself, he was thus accosted: "You
surrender, our prisoner, do you?"
" Yes, of course do" "That's kind.
Now we'll surrender to you'll" and the
five stacked arms before him, their
spokesman adding: "We've done with
'em and said good-by!' Secesh has
played out. Now you surround us and
take us into your camp" This was done
accordingly, and is but one of hun
dreds of instances of wholesale desertion.

MRS. S. r. BERRY.

" 1t has done perfect wonders for me. /
was soon on the right road to health and
strength by its use, and 1 am gaining every
day. After taking two bottles could do
more work than had for over year, and
now / do all my Homework and all my
sewing. I can walk vigorously, indeed
have walked as far as five miles in an af-
ternoon. Yes, it is true, you can ask any
one here.
&C. can now eat better than ever, am
strong again and have got back most of my
former looks and good color.
3" am wonder to everybody who
knows how weak and how low was be-
fore using this remedy. Our doctor met me
a few days ago, and said that was doing
wonderfully, that my eyes were bright and
that | looked well.
"Oh, words are useless cannot tell
how much l prize this great and blessed
medicine. All my family join me in one
loud chorus in saying, God bless this great
health giving remedy 1 have told every
one of my friends, far and near and you
see they cannot help believing, for here
am living witness to show what has been
done for me-"
Can anything be added to this?
The sick and suffering should certainly
use so marvellous a health giver as this
great remedy appears to be- Especially
should all use it now. for it is the most ex-
cellent of all spring medicines to invigorate
the blood, strengthen the nerves and regu-
late all the organs. 1t is purely vegetable
and harmless, and druggists keep it for 81
per bottle.
Doctors recommend and prescribe it be-
cause it is the discovery and prescription Of
an eminent physician, DR.. Greene OF "a
Temple place. Boston, Mass, the successful
specialist in curing all forms of nervous
and chronic diseases The doctor can be
consulted free, personally or by letter.

Religion and Business.

We have only to remember that
the " earth is the Lords and the full
ness thereof, the world and they that
dwell therein" to see that if a man is
engaged in any sort of occupation
which tends, in however humble a
manner, to replenish the earth and
bring out its fullness, to benefit the
world or any of its inhabitants, he is
engaged in the Lords service, and NAV
do and ought to do what he is doing
as unto the Lord" No matter what
kind of service he is rendering, whether
he is ministering to bodily, or intellec-
tual, or spiritual wants, whether he is
making shoes or sermons-and it is far
better work for God to make a good
shoe than poor sermon-pictures or
pins, provided only he is doing some
good in Gods world, he may and ought
to look upon his work as service rem
dered to the great Ruler of the world
and King of men, and therefore may do
1t not only without interfering with.
but in the fulfillment of the claim God
makes on the supreme devotion of the
heart and life.-Dr. j. NJ. Gibson.

A Noble Woman.

Walking rapidly across the open
fields, we entered, at the end of short
half hour, a dingy warehouse in the
very heart of the city. About fifty low
cots were ranged along the two sides of
a narrow, cherries apartment on the
ground floor of this building, and on
one of them the wounded soldier was
lying. His face was pallid, his eyes
were fixed, cold, clammy sweat was
on his forehead-he was dying. Sitting
at his feet was a lad of sixteen; and
kneeling at his side, her hand in his,
was middle-aged woman, with worn
garments, and a thin, sorrow marke d
face. "You are too late! He is almost
gone," said the colonel of the regiment,
as we paused before the group. The
chaplain made no reply, but slowly un-
covered his head, for the dying man
was speaking. Mother" he said,
"good by. And you, Tom, good by.
Be of good heart, mother. God will
take care of you, and save-save the"
A low sound then ratified in his throat,
and he passed away, with the name of
his country upon his lips. The mother
bent down and closed the eyeids of her
dead son; and then, kissing again and
again his pale face, turned to go away.
AS she did so, the chaplain, taking her
hand in his, said to her: A" The Lord
gave; the Lord hath taken away"
Looking up to him with tranquil face
and fearless eyes, the woman answered:
CO Blessed be the name of the Lord
They have murdered my husband, Mr..
Chaplin, my oldest boy, and now John,
too, is gone" Then, laying her hand
on the shoulder of her living son, she
turned to the colonel, and, while her
voice trembled very little, she added:
He's all I've got now, MIR. Cunnel-
give him Johns place in the regiment"
A tear rolled down the colonel's weather
beaten cheek, and he turned his face
away, but said nothing. There was
convulsive twitching about the chap
lain's tirmset mouth, as he said: "The
Spartan mother gave only two sons to
her country; would you give three2"
I'D give them all-all I've got, Mr..
Chaplin" was the low answer. And
this was "poor white" woman Her
words should be heard all over the
land. They should go down in history,
and make her name-Rachel Somers-
immortal. Edmund Kirke.

CAPTURED by One Man.

During one of the movements made
by the Eleventh Ohio, at the battle of
South Mountain, to drive the rebels
from their position, Colonel Coleman
was unfortunately cut off from the regi-
ment, and on emerging from dense
thicket of pine and laurel bushes, found
himself confronting some ten or a dozen
rebels, having in charge several Union
soldiers as prisoners. In an instant he
flourished his sword over his head,
dashed right after them, and, in stern,
commanding voice, ordered them, in no
very complimentary terms, to surren-
der. Down went every gun, and up
went every hand, and, ordering them to
fall in, he marched them within the
lines-the Union boys and rebels hav-
ing meanwhile changed positions.

story exactly as it came from the lady's

a most highly respected resident here. The
story is one which particularly interests
every one at this season.
81 was in very bad way such trembling
in my arms and limbs, and my heart was
just frightful and those terrible sweeping
chills and trembling in my limbs made me
expect shock or to lose the use of them
completely.
al could not sleep nights because my
heart would palpitate and the chills or
shaking would follow, and / could do but
very little of anything.
| could not sit up all day, but had to lie
down great deal, and my nerves were
very weak and of no use. Why, could
not bear any noise.
There was a terrible pain in my head,
with burning both sides of the head, and l
was almost a complete wreck of my former
self.
No one had any hopes of my being
better. My doctor ordered a change of
everything, but 1 was not equal to moving
anywhere, indeed, could not walk any to
speak of, only drag about from one room to
another.
And such dull, heavy feelings, as if L
was about to meet some awful doom. All
the time l was depressed in mind and
spirits and could not cheer up.
My liver was swollen so | could not
rest unless hot applications were used on
my side, and my kidneys were very bad.

PRIVATE prayer has been recognized
as duty of serious obligation from the
most ancient times. 1t is founded upon
the necessity of personal communion
with God, upon that great privilege
conferred by religion upon man, "to
make his requests known unto God."-
Watson.
To justify God, two things lay
down: CD None are wicked through
any neglect of God, but through their
own wilfulness. (2) None are miser-
able by Gods contrivance, but by their
own wickedness, so that God is free
from the blood of all men. Our de-
struction is of ourselves; our salvation
is of God. Whichcote.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAS.
Chicago Germans Resolution strongly
Condemned.

Condemned.
GREENSBORO. N. c., June 22-The
Grand Lodge of knights of Pythias of
North Carolina met again at $50 this
morning. After being called to order,
the grand chancellors were introduced.
The important features of the morning
session was the address of Supreme
Chancellor Blackwell, who made a beau
tiful and powerful presentation of the
principles of the order. After this Mr..
James n. Wilson in a very graceful
speech presented to him a beautiful bou-
quet from the ladies of the city. On be,
half and in the name of the Grand Lodge
of this state, Mr.. Sam Bradshaw pre-.
sented the supreme chancellor with a
handsome gold headed cane.
A very important part of the days
work was the discussion and vote on
the following resolutions, which were
adopted:
Whereas, We read in the Chicago Her
aid of the 14th instant, that a convention
of the German speaking lodges of the
knights of Pythias was held in Chicago
on the 18th instant and adopted certain
resolutions therefore be it
Resolved, That the grand lodge of
North Carolina hereby places the seal of
it's condemnation upon these resolutions
as being grossly disrespectful to the su-
preme chancellor, and derogatory TO the
dignity and sovereign rights of the su,
preme lodge as manifesting a spirit OF
unfraternity wholly foreign to the genius
of Pythianism as publishing resolves to
the world exhibiting a spirit of disloyalty
wholly unworthy of our grand order, and
as proposing a subversion Of all consti
tuted authority and a violation of the
sacred obligations which bind every
Pythian Knight.
The grand lodge met again tonight a
8 o'clock to complete its work. The
third rank of the order was conferred in
full regular form by the Knights of Da
mon Lodge No. Al, of Winston, aftel
which routine business was taken up.
