So ANk0OS kIEMS.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
From what we have seen of the
work done by road Supervisor w.
K Pembroke, the vicissitudes of
ruts, holes. rocks. roots and all the
ct ceteras which carriages, buggies,
wagons and carts are heir to are con.
spicuously absent. Really our friend
knows his business well and the
subject OF discussion whether mar
row or broad trimmed wheels are

have travelled the sections recently
repaired.
Money Well, every body seems

Lar. True, money is potential. Is
it not at once the greatest benefac-

There are large and small churches
down here. See that large house OF
worship over there. It is splendid
in all it's appointments, and setapart,
sanctified. i.e., dedicated, TO the SER
vice Of God. Travel a little farther.
Well, What? Why. use the win
dows OF your immortal part and you
will see small house for the same
purpose with scanty appointments
perhaps the best the members cir
cumstances can afford. This house
with equal sincerity is set apart,
dedicated to the service OF God. A
heavenly serenity may sit upon the
countenances OF the members of each
church. All within them may be
peace, and love, and Joy unspeakable.
They may become devoted Christi

living Way-the brightness Of His
Fathers glory, and the express i'm
age OF His person.

The schools taught respectively
by Miss Kennedy, st. Inigo's Neck,
Miss Milburn, st. Jerome's Neck,
Miss Daisy Abell, Tall Pine, and Mr..
Henry Goodrich, Scotland, closed
the past week. The teachers merit
praise for the interest they manifest
| i'm behalf of their pupils for both
boys and girls prove in their several
studies that they believe that knowl-
edge is worth possessing, and that
they are willing to follow the advice
OF their teachers and apply their en-
ergies. Grow in knowledge is the
!Nodms of the secular life of pupils,
particularly those who know that

self-reliance.

scribably sweet. How it reminded
us OF the harps attuned by Celestial
beings in the spiritualized heavenly
dwelling place-a building-that has
God for its maker, immortality for
its walls, and eternity for its day.
This is no dream, no delusion, nc
wild fancy, but blessed reality.
