Letter from Billy Felix.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Pleasant days and lovely nights,
The sunshine warns and the moon
bright.
Guess you think Billy has forsaken
you, but not yet. While he has not
used the pen for your columns, yet
he has often used his mind in kind
remembrance Of you.
A recent visit to the parental roof
brought up many tender recollections
of sacred love and friendship. I
found all we'll and that true and de-
voted Mrs. Felix enjoying the best
health.
The farmers we're all busy with
their work, moving things on in a
most gratifying way. Crops as a
general thing are doing as we'll as
could be expected. Some cotton IS
up and has been chopped, while tie
present dry weather has retarded
the ~sproating Of other.
The health Of the town and con-
munity lie not as good as We desire.
Our depot agent has been confined
to lis room for few days. We wish
him a speedy recovery and that he
will soon be out again at his post OF
duty.

How an English scoffer was undone.

An English peer called upon tne
famous Josiah Wedgwood, who was
an earness, religious man, and de-
sired to see his great pottery factories.
With n of his employees. a lad OF
about fifteen years of age, Mr..
Wedgwood accompanied the noble
man through the works.
The visitor was a man OF some
what reckless life, and rather vain OF
his religious unbelief. Possessing
great natural wit, he was quite en-
tertaining in conversation, and after
a while forgot himself in expressions
of "polite" profanity and in occa-
sional jests with sacred names and
subjects. This seriously disturbed
MI. Wedgwood.
The boy was at first shocked by
the pobleman's irreverance, but soon
became fascinated by his flow OF
skeptical drollery, and laughed
heartily at the witty points made.
When the round of the factories
had been made, the boy was dis
missed, and MIR. Wedgwood selected
a beautiful vase of unique pattern,
and recalled the long and careful
process of it's making, % they had
e it in the watts and ovens.
The visitor was charmed with its
exquisite shape, its rare coloring, its
pictured designs, and reached out
his hand to take it.
Mr.. Wedgwood let it fall on the
floor, and broke it to atoms. The
nobleman uttered an angry oath.
Il wanted that for my collection"
said he. mo art can restore what
you have ruined by your careless.
ness"
MY. Lord" replied MI. Wedg-
wood, "there are other ruined things.
more precious than this, which can
never be restored. You a never
give back to the soul of that boy
who has just left us the reverent feel
ing and simple faith which you have
destroyed by making light Of the
religion which has been his most
scared memory aaa inheritance. For
years his parents have endeavored to
teach him reverence for scared
things, and so to influence his mind
that his life and conduct should be
governed by religious principles
You have undone their labor in less
than half an hour.
The nobieman, though greatly as
tonished at such plainness of speech
from a mechanic" respected a brave
and honest man, and he did not 60
away without expressing his regrets,
and admitted the justice of the Q
proof.
A common acknowledgment of
God, and the prevalence of a rever
ent spirit, are society's safe guard
and the STATES defence.
None but those who forgot how
much the country owe to religious
feeling will ever trife with it in the
young or sneer. at a "pious educa-
ton" A single scofing speech may
do mischief for a lifetime.
