Mrs. I'loyd hauiled him the note, which

read ;

When she opened her eyes again, she
was lying on the bed. There was a dim

Mrs. Floyd raised hcrsolf, with a heart

The uuregeiierated ieople of Flint
Point, a mountain dislriet of Arkansaw,
had a way of disregarding the (luspel and
Hiibjeeting preachers tu irreligious indigni
ties. In respect to the very few gentle
Jus 1 do who lived there, Conference decided
Hot to give up the post, hoping that the
united prayers of the church and physical
dexterity would at hist land the foresters
on a plane of safely and high moral in
fluence. Preacher alter preacher went to
Flint Point, but each one brought back
rcHifts discouraging to the cause of re
formatory appeal. Young Ailaiii Hoyle, a
man uf excellent proportion and a disposi
tion lo tliuuip, said that be would undcr-
take ll
uuhall
ke 1 he work of emptying tinK-l on the
owed heads ol the liurlv sinners.
"We have prepared a feast," said young
Adam, "and imw. as (hey will not come
upon invitation. I shall go mil mid compel
I ln-in to come.
"Coiniug is mil 1 1 point." replied uu
old divine who. with coat tails streaming,
bud once lefl the neighborhood of Flint
Point. "You will have no trouble in get
ting them to come, for they are all anxious
to hear the word. The trouble arises from
their luck of sympathy."
"I'll undertake it at all events." said
young Adam, instinctively sliming up his
shirt slivve and custin-. a complimentary
gliuice ut his ui ui. "I think that you
have all been too easily frightened, uud
have, instead of leaching tliciu how fear
less true rclicioii is. show n I hem your ow n
lack of firmness."
Young Adam went to the Point, and
employed runners to aiinoiiuei thai he
would preach in the "Troit.h"- a name
applied lo tile Uiei'llllgdlnlise tin- Nin.lav
following. (Hdliabe Lane, Tom I'rout,
the four lianlner buys ami Spike liiailsi.n
were all delighted, fur they had seen 110
Amusement since the last preacher afforded
ihelii ciitci'taiiihicht. When Sunday came
the (hiireb was crowded. Oldtiube Lane
took a front soul und lo look ut his humble
head and long beard of patriarchal palti-ru,
you would have tak'n biiu to be the pr
siding elder of the circuit. Tom I'roiil,
with bis chin resting mi hickory -tick
which be held upri'hl between bis knees,
sal jil-l behind old liabe. The olhel' linled
I'eMiallsis. as lliey ealleil I lieinsi os, sat
around in seeming auvicty that the clear
waters should soon begin their flow.

(iiirdner boys iismii'i d him ihut he would
have a huge uudioiioe, and (iabe, as he
measured with an experienced eye the

Have a line crowd, cap'n. All you've
got to do is to shout it to em an' they'll

" 1 shall shout it to tin-Ill." replied the

'I lid man, whiui locks the career of a re
probate have prematurely whitened, what
do ymi think of this proposition? Answer
without ctpiivocutioii."
"Parson, " (ild (iabe replied, fidgeting
mound. I didn't come here prepared fur a
argyinent."
"Answer me," and he made another mo
tion with the pistol.
"Wall," said (lube, "it sorter strikes me
thater wuy."
"Your reply is not satisfactory. Is it
or is it not?"
"Wall parson, arter stitdyiu' the ques
tion, I b'licvo it is the duiun'dest commu
nity on the face o' the ycath."
"All right. Now old fellow." turning to
Tom Prout, "what do ymi think of the

"Parson, I ain't fixed fur a discussion."
"I do tint usk concerning your ability
of argument. 1 have stated the proposi
timi plainly. What do you think ?"
"I'm sorter like (!ube."
"Hut how much'.'" and thu pistol
clicked.
"Wall, if you must know, I think it is
the damu'dest community on the luce 0'
Uhe youth."
".u right, unit 1 want, to say to you
boys that if you don't keep quiet and pay
strict attention, you will wish that the
wolves hud stolen you from the cradle."
With this understanding, he began lo
preach. He told humorous stories and
made the old fellows laiih, and then will)'
pathetic recitals he made them weep. He
drew them to him wilh warm expressions
of love, and painted pictures of bliss that
made their mouths water. At the con
clusion of the senium, the "revivalists"
shook his haniL in earnest aft'eetioii, :nnl
vowed that they would lead h.-tter lives.

A negro said that if Col (Vh ever got

in one day, and the speaker was one of
the burial party. No coffins were used
and the negroes present wore threatened
with death if they ever told it. This was
the first lime it bad ever lieen told. A
trusty body servant uf Col. Cash, it is said,
went into the swamp with 11 number of
Cash's blooded horses when (ion. Sherman
passed through, but the I'ninii forces
found t lii-iii mi infiiruialioii and look them.
When the son am rcpmlisl the fact the
Colonel drew Iii pistol, told the negro lie
was a d d ly ing scoundrel; that he had
given I hem away, und shot him dead, He
was buried und that was the last of it.
