Preparation for Death.
Associate Reformed Presbyterian

Associate Reformed Presbyterian.
1t is said of Won Molktc, the Prus-
sian General, that in the late Francho-
Russian war when news came 20 Ber-
Il. '.l&t war had been declared in
faris, he had simply to give one
command: "Mobilize." A little
later 4 friend found him quietly sit
ting in his Office, and to an expression
OF surprise that he was not very
busy at such time he replied: 81
have really nothing to do" War
had been anticipated and he had
everything in readiness, f;> plans
prepared and arrangements made, 50
that when it came he had nothing
to do but get MS army together and
take the field
We have often thought of these
words OF the great general. Amidst
the most intense excitement, the
country just entering into a bloody
war, and he, too, in a position OF
responsibility occupied by no one
else, yet he was not at all pressed.
Such is the preparation that men
ought to make for death. They are
givea time to prepare and are warned
OF its coming We know not when
it will come, but we know that 1t
will come. OF this there is no doubt,
and to live Alright is to live always in
readiness for death, is to be so pre-
pared that when death shall come we
Shall have nothing to do but to die.
Death is a most serious and decisive
event, but as to whether it is terri
bic or not depends on our prepara-
ton for it. To those who are unpre-
pared it is indeed terrible. To be
summoned to 90 but not prepared,
the neglected work of life crowded
into the hour of death, the body
racked with pain and the soul with
dread, this is not condition to be
envied. But how different the con-
dition of him who has lived in readI-
ness for that time, has attended to
his spiritual interests, not putting oft
that matter to the last, so that when
rho summons comes he has really
nothing to do. And if men would
only exercise the same wisdom and
foresight in preparing for the world
to come as they do in preparing for
the dangers of this life, far fewer OF
them would face death unprepared.
Calmly could they look into the fu-
ture and feel that they had nothing
to do but to die.

Samples of War Prices.
Columbia Journal


Few people will ever know the dif-
iculties that confronted the people Of
the South at the close OF the war un-
til historians shall record the facts OF
that period Even then the trials
incident to ruined fortunes and high
prices cannot be realized.
The following entries, taken from
an old day book OF Capt. Richard
IO'Neale, one of Columbia's leading
merchants at that time, will probably
be revelation to many of the Jou'-
nars younger readers and cause them
to marvel at the trials of their pa
rents. The items sound like fiction :

We repeat here, what we. have
often said in substance before, that
the supreme duty which rests upor
parents is to look after the rearing
Of their children. Other duties there
are, but none so important as this
one. What will it profit man tc
achieve success in eyery.public actl
vity, if, at the same time, he must
see his own son become an idle
yagrant. drunkard, a gambler, 3
debauchee? The notion that the
children of the household are enti-
tied to only SO much time and atten.
ton as can be taken from the pursuit
of other affairs is radically wrong

HOGS AT A srANDsTIu1


a Review of the Present Local Market
Conditions Eggs Cheaper,
A glance at the weekly Wheeling
markets Of yesterday shows better all
round condition OF affairs than was the
case week ago, For the first time
since the big advance on hogs COM
menced two months ago, there was no
increase in the quoted prices over last
week, The porker was quoted at the
Wheeling Stock Yards yesterday after-
noon at "a and 7,S5 cents, Just what 1t
brought the week before. The supply
is also better than it has been for some
time, The abatement OF cold weather
also brought down the quotations on
fresh eggs, which sold yesterday at %
and so cents a reduction Of 8 cents,
Hams advanced somewhat over tho
previous weeks quotations, lard how
ever remained at the same figures,
Flour dropped few cents.
It cannothoweverbe hoped that pork
will now commence descent from Its
present lofty stand. II anything 1t go
higher yet.

ThFee =, 8 o, Trains Meet on sixteenth
Street Yesterday Afternoon.
About 1850 yesterday afternoon there
was very narrow escape from a disas-
trous railroad wreck right in the centre
Of the city. About that hour q coal
train came in from the east on the Six
tenth street line Of the Baltimore &
Ohio, and had reached the corner Of
Chapllne and Sixteenth, when a man at
Market excltedly slgnalled the engineer
to stop. This he did as soon as possible,
when the cause was seen. A switch en-
CINE attached 10 three coal cars was
coming from over the creek bridge and
was followed by another freight train
from the same direction, The switch
engine and the coal train were stopped
about twenty-five feet apart Had not
both trains been signalled at Market q
wreck in which three trains would have
become involved would surely have fol-
lowed.

OF the affectionate regard and esteem, in
which he was held by Knights Templar
by tho brethren Of tho mystic tic" and
by the whole community In which he 60
long labored and was loved.
Doctor Bates was, indeed, no ordinary
man and Mason. His private life was
conspicuous for its purity, gentleness,
kindness and charity and testified to all
that ho well practiCed in life the tenets
OF his profession as q Mason and "a fol-
lower Of the Cross"
Whilst grand master, he taught that
tho principles oil Free Masonry were
founded upon the truths Of Divine reve.

Just regard for the rights Of others, to
seek the welfare OF a brother, TO sympa-
thi2o with the distressed and to be
ever ready TO succor and defend the
afflicted aud the helpless" he said, were
duties which Masonry enjoined. How
well he practiced, throughout q long
and honored life, these duties, the whole
community can attest Indeed, his
whole life illustrated the beautiful
tnonts ~ he nenfnos;n. An a

Long will the brethren OF tho Grand
