Miss Riser at Fairfax.

The Fairfax correspondent of the
News and Courier has the following to
say of the part taken in the success Of
the past session of the Fairfax school
and of the very entertaining closing
exercises, by Miss Annie Riser, of this
city, who has been teaching in the
school the past session:
'"The prettiest scene was made by the
fan drill, performed by sixteen girls,
the oldest girls in the school. This was
the thought of Miss Annie Riser.
''With the thought in her mind of the
graceful sword dance of the Creole
belle in New Orleans, Miss Riser had
her girls to make an arch of fans, under
which they marched and counter
marched, forming lovely lines of sweet
young forms, twining and entertaining
gracefully and accurately keeping per-
feet step to the piano music, played by
Miss Riser herself.
"The children acted their parts well
and today Fairfax people are thinking
that the best thing for our school will
be the resumption of work in Septem,
ber next with Prof. Swittenberg and
Miss Riser.'

For Attempt to Assault.

William Conkle was given a prelim-
mary hearing before Magistrate Chap
pell Saturday morning and bound over
to the circuit court on the charge of an
attempt to ravish Miss Bobb, the six
teen-year- old daughter of William Bobb.
Both parties are white, and of the lower
part of the county, in No. 10 township.
The warrant on which Conkle was ar
rested was sworn out by one of the
young Woman's brothers. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Buford, and Con-
kle was turned over to Magistrate
Chappell.
Magistrate Chappell said that if he
were petit jury he would dismiss the
charge, but acting in the capacity of a
grand jury and having to hold the pris-
oner on a probable evidence of guilt,
he regretted very much to say that he
would have to bind Conkle over to the
circuit court. He said that he had
tried to get Miss Bobb's brother not to
have warrant issued, though he usu-
ally wrote warrants without word,
and although he was an officer of the
peace, he had tried to get the young
woman's brothers to take the law into
their own hands if they thought there
was any reason for so doing, and not
bring the matter into the courts. If he
had it to do over again he would abso-
lutely refuse to issue warrant.
Conlsle was released on bond of
$500 for his appearance at the next
term of court. The prisoner was rep
resented by Cole. l.. Blease Esq; the
prosecntrix by r. H. Dominick, Esq.

/
His children, you have used the right
word. The thought of His love, of His
Fatherhood is the only explanation.
They are His children. Yes all His
children, some far from the Father
house, prodigal, wandering, until
blessed affliction shall turn them back
from the darkness of sin into the mar
velous light of home and the liberty of
the sons of God. All have wandered
Some are home again in the Fathers
house. Here the Heavenly Father must
treat them as children; children who
must be kept at home; children who
need the discipline of Fathers love
that they may not wander from home
again, that all Christian graces may be
developed in them. We see the faults
of our children and often cause them
sorrow as in love we are compelled to
correct them. We sometimes talk of
Furnishing them. We have no right to
punish. Correct is the proper word,
and if we love them we must correct
in love. From our own experience can
we not understand that God who has in
view more beautiful ideal for us than
we have for our children must train us
as we train them, and that all His cor
rection is in love. There is not pass
age or word in all the Bible that teaches
that God ever sends punitive judgment,
upon the individual in this life; not
'punish" but correct" is the word al
ways used. proverbs 3: IL; Hebrews
IL; 16). This is the right view to take
of affections, to see in them always the
evidences of Gods love and of His low
ing and ever watchful care
Summing up note these four points:
81. A loving Father cannot let His
prodigal child alone in his wandering.
Sooner or later he must come to feed on
husls. A loving Father cannot let him
be satisfied.
"2. The child of God, who loves his
Father, will not escape trial and sor-
row, but his Fathers hand holds him in
all his goings. Psalm 81: o. "a.
"3. Although sometimes the sky may
be all darkened and there may be no
rift in the cloud that our tear dimmed
eyes can see, the same loving Father
who sends the affliction for our good
will bring it to an end: "Sorrow en-
dureth for night, but JOY cometh in
the morning. - AS the great Captain
of our salvation was made perfect
through suffering, so this is the natural
order of our lives:
Light after darkness,
Gain after loss,
Strength after weakness,
Gold after dross,
Sweet after bitter,
Grown after cross.
SIN the deepest sorrows and under the
darkest clouds our trust in the love of
God should shine tn. clearest, in this
should be our confidence, that He car
eth for us, as we echo always in our
hearts the poets song:
'God-Thou art love, build my faith
on that"
