Stevenson, of Dallas, Texas, in Atlanta C'on.stitulioii. There was a time, it w is not many years ao, when every city in the South looked forward with em iiionsof pleasure lo the c lining of K mini Abb ilt. Kvcry admirer nfgrand opera regarded it as an epoch of i he year. Hut aside from her extraordinary talent and culture, our most aiistocratic ladies loved her for her vir tueher charity and her gentle disposi tion and when iu town she was show ered with invitations to dine, to tea and to cutne and spend only a few moments in (he most palatial home'. Her rebuke lo the Nashville preacher is still remembered and often spoken uf wnen ner name is uientiuiieil. lhis pure woman oiei Sunday morning attended church in ihat city. Whether ihu uiiu-i-ter kuew sh i was there, and who she w is, has been a-s :itcd aud denied; any how, in the c nirse of his serin in he de nounced all women on llin stage as lalleti aud warning in chastity. Miss Abbott at once arose in the audience and, after challenging the truth of this monstrous asserti.iu aud slander, walked out of the house. It is, however, n it with her life su much as with her death 1 am trying lo deal. Oue night in the city uf Denver, Col , located at the loot and ill plain view ol'llie Ricky MoU'it.iius, she was billed to appe ar in "Fausi." In the satin city a most attractive an 1 beautiful 18-year-old girl, belurjiiin to one uf t 11 0 wealth iest families, lay iu the last stages uf that fell etieuiy of the human race consump tion. Some weeks before the arrival ul the company she said to those around her: "Uli, I hops the sun will shine aud the weather will he warm and genial so I cau bear Miss Abbott sing mice in ire. I think I could then pa-s away peacefully aud without one single regret."

The first piece rendered was " The Old Folks at Home," and then followed '1 Know that My K'dee.ner Liveth."

( Wilmington Messenger.) It would bo impossible for any one lo say which was the in ist absolutely elo 'pient sermon ever preached iu North Caroliua, or who was t lie greatest preach er yet produced by this Slate. The late llev. Ir. Jeremiah Jeter, a distinguished Haplist preacher and editor in Virginia in the past, held that after visiting Great Britain aud having heard many of the mow famous pulpit orators, of our uwn land, the two greatest preachers ho had ever heard were John Kerr (father uf Judge Kerr) of North Carulina, and An drew Hroadus, of Virginia. The late Gen. Thomas L. Clinguuo, win was an Kpiscopalian, uuce tuld us, in 1870, that he heard John Kerr fur three hours once and would have been glad to have heard Mm longer. The late Ilczekiah G. Leigh was unquestionably a very im pressive preacher of much puwer. We heard him in the early fifties, perhaps il was after he had suffered one stroke uf paralysis, lie was a noble, intellectual looking man even then. His subject was Moses, aod we recall it to this hour with a distinct recollection of his force, clear ncss and something uf majesty. His portrayal of Muses was simple, massive and very impressive. Hcv. Dr. Hubert O. Hurton iu a sketch of him in a bouk we long ago read, tells of bita preaching in Norfolk, Vn., aud when he closed the whole great cnngrcgalion were standing That prince of modern preachers, Robert Hall, of Kngland, when preaching to the Haplist congregation at Bristol, generally raise 1 his congregation by tho tremen dous power of his oratory. Dr. Olinthus Gregory, the mathematician and astrono mer in an interesting biographical sketch of Mr. Hall says that he often saw this effect produced hy him. Il lakes marvel ous power lo do that. We never saw any such result or anything like it. The most entrancing sermon in North Caro lina of which we have ever heard was a sermon preached at Hock Spring camp m 'diug, two miles from Henderson, now Vance county, and in 1S59 by Ucv Thomas G. L we, of Halifax. It was on Sunday aud ho preached to- more t'l .u U.Oilll people. A preacher iu the Nor li Carolina Conference M. K. Church, who was altcrwards a presiding elder, llie late K. v. Junius l Moore, brother ol the late Col. H. R. Moore, of this city, told us he had h iaul the celebrated Bish op Kavaoaiigh (not the way to spell it, wi think) of Kentucky, and Bishop George K. Pierce's great and most elu- q leui seim. m, iit G ildsboro, but Rev, rii'Uii is G. L iwe's serinaa at the lime referred to excelled those sermons or any other he had ever heard. Il made a great t upr.'sston, ami was the mister cllart. the culmination of that singularly elo quent prcccher's pulpit discourses. The most beautiful ser nil wo ever heard was by Mr. L iwo. The in ist logically severe sermon wo have listened lo was by Rev Dr. Vaughan, of Virginia, a l'resbyteriau The most purely intellectual sermon, reaching a higher grade of thiuking and longer sustained, w is by Bishop Wilson, of Biliiiu ire. Rev. Dr. Deems, himself a v.ry charming preacher, once tuld u that ivheii Rev. lr. Lovick Fierce, of Georgia, and father of the cloqileul Bish op George F , was at his best, he never heaid any oue to surpass hiui. Dr. Fierce was boru iu Halifax county, N. C , and lived to s tue niucty-four years, and oftcu preached, we believe, after ho had turned ninety. He was a very extraordinary man. So far as we know thoso named were I he foremost pulpit speakers native to North Carolini Kerr, L-igh, Liwe, 1'ier.ic. When shall the peopl look upon their like agiiu? - All this was sug gested at this tim i by our eye falling up iu Hebrews 2:11 "How shall wo es Oipeil'we neglect so great aj.lv ill in.'

TO N EULECT THE CLOSET 1'llAYEIl MEANS LOSS ANli 80IIROW INCAL CILAIILE. It is safe to pay that, unless this habit be niainluimd conscientiously, the quali ty of our piely suffers. Doubtless neg lect i f it lias been the cause uf more backsliding from spiritual success ami service than any one of what we commonly call severe temptations.. There is a peculiar and vital prulit in common, public devotions. They enrich and up build the soul by kindling our holiest sympathies and quickening our must sacred purposes. But they do not, and cannot, do for us what private, individual communion with God accomplishes. We need to be alone with Him sometimes and oltcn. Otherwise wo cannot enter iutu those cluso and confidential relations with II im which means so much to the truly Christian heart. In public worship, even though we do but join as spent participants, we catiuut make confession of our faults, lay before our Father Irm ly our own personal aud special needs and become aware of llin holy Spirit's re sponse and interest as we can when we are in our closets. We need, and most who truly belong to Christ have learned how to profit by, such personal inter course with God. It is an unspeakable privilege which must nut be disregarded But the spirit of our times in a large de gree is unfriendly to it. Engagements of many sorts press upon us until to re serve even a little time for it becomes hard. This or that excuse is allow, d lo justify neglect cf it until, insensibly yet really, wo have grown to regard it us ol uiiimr consequence. Moreover, not a lew declare frankly that it is not essen tial to true godliness. They origin as truly urge that the mutual knowledge and love uf a mother and child would not wcakcu if they never were to meet and converse. But the testimony of Christ ian history is conclusive. The purest, noblest, holiest sou's, these whom even the laost careless of all cannut help lever ing, have been those who have lived in the closest fellowship, the most regular and intimate devotional tiniou, with llie Almighty. Have we not known in our own experience, ton, some ineinnialile hour when we have lasted uf the blessed ness el hi ing, as il were, face to face with (he divine Father, when His word bus taken on a new richness aud pertinence of meaning as we have studied it by our selves, and wc have talked with 1 1 mi in prayer with a precious freedom ucver pos sible in the presence of others, no matter how sympathetic? We may, we ought to have such it li experience frequently. To neglect ptivale dcvolions means loss aud sorrow incalculable. Dangers of the Crip.

When il girl is not as sure of her uflei tion as she is of the sun in llie heavens, it is well for her to pause to give herself all the benefit of the doubt, writes Helen Wallersiiti Moody in llie February Ladies' Home Journal. "She should wait until she is able lo say with truth when she gives her word, 'i would rather be your wife than do or be anything else in the world.' If there is in the furthest corner of her heart nun little doubt that the full revelation of love has come to her the chances are ihat it h,n not. This is not lo say that doubts never arise in love.

Kich realizes that though love is the grei'est silvent of difficulties il is not the only one that there are sure to be the gravest strains upon human nature in the delicate ad justments of married life. One may be able to trust one's self in the great crises of life, hut it is the p 'ttitiessof every day life that lays hare one's besetting sins.
