chewing, and it grew upon them SC
that they became weak and unm anly,
and said: 1--WE are enslaved and can't
case from chewing it." And the
mouths of all that were enslaved be
came foul and we're seized with VIC
lent sQitting, and they did spit even in
ladies' parlors, and in the house of the
Lord. And the saints of the Most
High were greatly plagued thereby.
And, in the course of time it came to
pass that others snuff3d it, and were
taken suddenly with nasal spasms and
did sneeze with mighty sneezes, inso
much that their eyes filled with tears
and they did look exceedingly silly.
And yet others cunningly wroght
the leaves thereof into rolls, and did
set fire to one end thereof and suck
vehemently at the other end thereof
and did look grave and calf-like, and
the smoke of the defIement ascends up
forever and forever.
And the cultivation thereof became
a great and mighty business in the
earth, and the merchantmen waxed
rich by commerce thereof. And it
came to pass that even the ministers of
grace detiled themselves Herewith, and
the poor, who could not buy bread, nor
shoes, nor books for their little ones,
spent their earnings for it.
And the Lord was greatly displeased
Herewith and said: Nv therefore, this

The great ~desideratum in education
in North Carolina to day is a better pre-,
paratory and high school system.
Every year boys go to college i'll pre-
pared, hence their college course ends
in failure. 1t is to meet this want that
Trinity High School was established.
1t takes thoroughness as it's motto. 1t
Offers to those students who do not ex
pect to attend college a good literary
training and good equipment for bust
ness. There are five professors and
teachers. The z oenses are very reason
able, the location healthtul, and the
buildil gs large and convenient. The
school has just closed a very success
full year, and the prospects for the next
are the best in the schools history. 1t
is in every worthy of your pat
rOnage.

OF God, and He will see to it that we
shall not suffer for it. ITO him that
oVercometh (wrong and ~oppression)
Will God give a crown. When you
strive for the right and benefit of all,
you cheer the hearts of ali good ladies,
and your dear mothers are in the

Work for the night is coming. The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is ready for the
tight for God and for the right of the
people, with her noble editor for Capt.
and that powerful man of God, D, H.
futile for her pilot, one for the body
and the other for the soul. There is
no need Of our straying from our duty.
This Is a paper that n al read every
day IN the week. Rev. D II. futile is,
l believe the most Cody man I have
ever seen in my journey of twenty-five
years Though this world. He was my
pastor for two years and so far as l am
a Judge, he practiced out of the pulpit
just what he preached in the pulpit
and believe God will stand by that
kind OF a man in pleasant and cloudy
weather and he has been and aver will
be a blessing. How great eternity
alone will tell to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and to everything else he
takes hold of.
May Gods sweetest blessings rest on
this, nation, on The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and on Brother Tuttle, and
may the angles hover around his dear
ones and all the interests for which he
is striving.

enthusiastically Endorsed.

The Catalogue Of Guilford College is
before me. Two things we notice that
have our enthusiastic endorsement.
The first one Tobacco:
The use of tobacco is 50 ipj lrious in
its eff -cts upon the minds and bodies of
the Young, that it's use is prohibited.
We wish pupils to know u regula
ton OF this subject before they enter.
I. any, after entering, shall be found
SO addicted to the use Of tobacco as to
be unwilling to give it up for the sake
Of better health, more clearly habits,
and clearer mental perception, we shall
be willing to give such a certificate of
honorable dismissal, but cannot retain
them in the College"
Thank God for one institution that
frD1ly takes its stand against this great
and still growing evil.
Second:
The reading Of pornicious literature,
the use Of intox eating drinks, habit
uaI indulgence in profRne language,
CARRYING pistols or other dangerous
would be considered grave
offsnses, and treated accordingly"
Would that all our institutions OF
learning would teke the sane stand
against these great evils. We like also
the co educational work that is done at
Gdi!tUrd.

The Tyranny of Temper.


Love is not easily provoked" We
are inclined to look upon bad temper
as a very harmless weakness. We
speak Of it as a mere ipficmity of ma
ture, a family failing, a matter of tenn
permanent, not a thing to be taken into
very seri-us account in estimating a
mans character. The popularity of
i'll temper is that it ie the vice OF the
virtuous. 1t is often the one blot on
an otherwise noble character. You
know men who are all but perfect, and
women who would be entirely perfect
but for an easily ruff d, quick tenn
pered, or "touchy" disposition. This
compatibility of Ill temper with high
moral character is one Of the saddeBt
problems of ethics. The truth is, there
are two great classes of sins-sius of
the b-dy and sins of the disposition.
The prodigal son may be taken as a
type of the first, the elder brother of
the second. Now, society has no doubt
whatever as to which Of these is the
worst. Its brand falls without q chaI
lenge upon the prodigaI.-The Church,
man.

Then shall the Kingdom Of Satan be
likened unto a grain of tobacco seed,
which, though exceedingly small, be-
ing cast into the ground, grew and be
came a great plant, and spread its
leaves rank and broad, SO that huge
and vile worms made their habitations
thereon.
And it came to pass in course Of time

Excuses.
No. II.

1. 81 don't feel like it."-Silas Bad
boy did not feel like it" when it was
his duty to beg his teachers pardon
and promise to be a good boy, but he
had to Or suff9r punishment. So with
all who do not feel like giving their
hearts to God.
, 1T is so hard to break with sin
full companions. How much harder
it will be to go on with them to eter-
nal ruin!
3 Too much to give up."-All who
reject Christ on this account are like
the man who when the ship was sink,
ing would save his gold at any expense,
and so tied it to his waist, and thus by
it he was borne to toe bottom of the
sea. Too much to give up" cost him
his life. 1t has cost others life eternal.
4. Warrington special call. THAT
reminds US of a man remaining abed
and losing his breakfast because the
bell rang for every n instead of each
being called by name. The Gospel
~Rhosoever" rings for all.
5. Cannot understand the Bible."-
That is like q child refusing to learn
his letters because he cannot read.
Christ said, IF any man will do His
will be shall know of the doctrine"
You can understand all of the Bible
that you will obey. Try it.
6. Il believe that God is too good to
punish his children hereafter. SO do
L. But how can you claim to be a
child of his when you do not do his
will? He that knoweth his duty and
doeth it not shall be beaten with many
stripes.
Z. I belong to the caurch."-So did
Judas. Annanias and Saphira. Have
you been converted2 Do you love
the brethren?" What work are you
doing purely for Jesus sake3 Matt.

THE RETURN OF BYRNES.

It Surprises New Workers., Who Wonder
What Is In the Wind.
NEW YORK, Jan. Is The friends OF
ex- Chief Byrnes were surprised when
he returned last week. He had ar
ranged to st,y abroad until summer.
There, was, it is said, good reason
for his return, but it has been kept very
quiet. According to report current,
his presence here was ordered
by person high in political
councils III this state and
there is a strong likelihood that
Mr.. Byrnes will be restored to power
a commander Of the New York police,
not only Of this city but Of Greater New
York Mr.. Byrnes' object in going to
Europe was to study the methods OF
police work there and to pick up hints
that night be valuable in organizing q
police force to guard Greater New
York. He obtained such information,
and made many valuable connections
which will be Of service in his future
work.
