Itwas on the 10th of October, and
very pleasant day. I had gone into
the woods Immediately after an early
breakfast and when l returned to
the village found it was dinner time.
Yet l had been wholly unconscious of
the time that had passed it appeared
to me that had been gone from the
village but short time.
But how was l to account for the
quiet of my mind? tried to recall
my convictions, to get back again the
load of sin under which l had been
laboring. But sense of sin, all con-
sciouSness of present sin or guilt, had
departed from me. I said to myself,
"What is this, that l cannot arouse
any sense of guilt in my soul, as great
a sinner as am?" l tried in vain to
make myself anxious about my present
state. I was so quiet and peaceful
that 1 tried to feel concerned about
that, lest it should be the result of my
having grieved the Spirit away. But
take any view of it l would, could
not be anxious at all about my soul,
and about my spiritual state. The
repose of my mind was unspeakably
great. l never can describe it in
words. The thought of God was
sweet to my mind, and the most pro-
found, spiritual tranquility had taken
full possession of me. This was a
great mystery but it did not distress
or perplex me.
l went to my dinner and found l
had no appetite to eat. 1 then went
to the office, and found that Squire
W had gone to dinner. l took
my bass-viol, and, as l was accustomed
to do, began to play and sing some
pieces of sacred music. But as soon
as began to sing those sacred words,
l began to weep. 1t seemed as if my
heart was all liquid and my feelings
were in such state that l could not
hear my own voice in singing without
causing my sensibility to overflow.
wondered at this, and tried to sup
press my tears; put up my instru'
ment and stopped singing.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

ILawrenceville (Va.) Gazette.J
The recent copious rains with which
this section have been blessed and
which in the expressive language of a
late countyman, appear to have been
unanimous" gives almost positive
assurance that the labors of the hus-
bandman will be rewarded by an
abundant yield. The wheat and oat
crops have already been harvested
with more satisfactory results than for
many years. The prospect for a full
crop of corn was never better, the
rains having come "just in the nick
of time" The outlook for a crop of
tobacco of good size and fine quality
is most cheering. The cotton and
peanut crops promise over an average
yield, while the pea, bean, potato and
other minor crops are all that could
be desired. This is indeed a most
pleasing prospect. There is only one
thing that mars it. The market price
of wheat, corn and cotton is greatly
below the cost of production. What
that of tobacco will be when the crop
is ready for market if the present
financial stringency continues, no man
can foretell. "But sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof" Let US all
rather rejoice in the prospect and re-
turn thanks to a merciful Providence
for its blessings, than borrow sorrow"
by discounting the future, trusting
that He who ordereth all things Alright,
will be "pleased to direct and prosper
all the consolation" of the "Senate
and Representatives in Congress as
sembled, to the advancement of His
glory, the good of His church, the
safety, honor and welfare ofHis people;
that all things may be SO ordered and
settled by their endeavors, upon the
best and surest foundations, that peace
and happiness, truth and justice, re-
ligion and piety may be established
among us for all generations"

PARIS, March 17.-Julo. Francois Cam
lie Ferry, the celebrated French Statesman,
is dead. lie was born April D, 1892. NJ.
Ferry death was caused by heart disease.
The affection of the heart from which he
suffered was duo to tho effects OF Il
bullet striking rib near the base of tao
heart at the time he was attacked by Au-
bertiu in 1857.
For the last Two weeks NJ. Ferry had
complained Of difficulty in breathing. His
sleep was much broken and his general
health suffered in consequence. In the last
few days he seemed to recover somewhat
his former energy and spirits, although his
difficulty in preaching was increasing.
He went to bod last night at 10 O'clock.
Before midnight be awoke in a chill. He
Tell asleep again but rested uneGsiy, finally
awaking in another chill, more severe than
The first one. His wife sent for the doctor

with his eyes Closet, too weak to speak
Shortly after noon he again called re

were apparently painless
The news OF ". Ferry's denth astounded
the city. No other even since Gambetta's
death has made such deep impression
Last week II. Ferry resigned the presidency
of the Estatette newspape and the presi
dency OF the National Republican associa
ton, that be might devote himself entirely
to his duties IN the Senate The general
feeling Is that although his election to the
presidency of the Senate was contrary to
the wishes of NJ. Carnoi and NJ. Ribot, bis
death is serious loss to the government. In
the case of another cabinet crisis he, in his
official capacity, would have been the first
man to whom NJ. Carnot would have been
bound TO turn for advice.
With NJ. Garnet as president, NJ. Ribot
as premier, NJ. Casimr-Perier as president
OF the Chamber of Deputies and NJ. Ferry
as president of the Senate, the oppcrtunists
felt that they had four of their strongest
men In positions to meet the perilous couse-
luences of the Panama exposure.

BROCKToN, Mass, March 19.-About II
o'clock last night, three boys passing the
large thread mills of +. J.W. Morse, situated
at South Easton, discovered blaze in the
engine room Of the building and gave the
alarm. The employees OF the factory re-
sponded, and n stream was soon on the
building, but an unfortunate break in the
hose soon prevented further efforts.
The Brockton fire department was then
called upon Cor assistance, but before it ar
rived the building was completely destroy
ed The distance from Brockton TO the
scene of the fire is about five miles, and
with rough roads the trip was not au easy
one, Qnick time was made and the village
was saved from complete destruction
kaston has no fire department IN that sec
ton, SO the lire had its own way. The
burned building was two and a half stories
high, 1SS feet long aud 10 feet wide.
The loss is greau one to the town and
the firm. Some very valuable machinery
and considerable manufactured producs
were i'll the building, all of which is n total
loss, Beside the factory a machine shop. a
blacksmith ana tooi shop, and a portion OF
tue wooden bridge which spans the river
near the factory were destroyed. The loss
will reach 5000, 600 and there is about

The cause Of the fire is said TO be the ex-
ploson of IA lamp in the engine room The
Brockton fire department had a hard fight
to save the adjoining houses and the village
store, the sparks from the fire dying in
