"The Saloons Have Got my Boy."
Chrirtian Work.
When Rev. George R. Sturart was once
preaching in Kentucky, there came down
tbe aisle one night a poor Irish woman
with an intelligent face, crying out in her
own pecular way, showing the deep ; an
guish of a mother's heart. "Mr. Stuart,
Mr. Stuart, tbe saloons have got my boy!"
Tbe preacher's heart ached, and the large
congregation was moved when' be said:
'How many women in this great congre
gation can bold up their hands with this
poor woman?" You should have seen
the hands that went up showing how
many mothers were having the same sad
experience, borne ot them .were nanas in
kid gloves; some were white tender hands
while some were bare and quivering
hands. The preacher said: "Men of
Kentucky, I don't know what kind of
stuff you men are made of; but I am of
that kind of stuff to stand by tbe side ot
those sad and stricken women, with their
uplifted hands, and help them to save
their boyB out of the clutches of the
dreadful saloon." And numbers of men
pot up, and many cheered.

A BUSINESS ROMANCE.
It Is The Story it the Riseoi a Humble
Young. Man. -A
young - inan who was working a
clerk in an importing house had occasion
frequently in the course of buisness to call
at a certain large manufacturing estab
lishment. The head of the concern took
a faney to him: One day he ' asked the
young man w ha, salry be waa a getting,
what his, chances f prombtfonVere and
so on. lie. was told and then said to tbe
young man that he thought there was a
better opportunity for him in his office
than in the honse where he was then em
ployed. The young man replied that he should
ofecurse like to better himself, but that
his engagement would not promit him to
leave for some time to' come. Tbe head
of the house said be thought be might in
duce his employer to let him go. He ac
cordingly rote a note to the senior part
ner of the importing house, with whom
he was on intimate terms, saying that he
had formed a likeing for tbe young man,
that he believed there was a better open.
ing for him in his office and asking that
be be released. Tne next day te young
man came back with a letter in which
his employer, while expressing regret at
loising bis services, said that he rocog
nized the larger opportunity offered him,
and, as be didn t want to stand in bis
wav. released him. Tbe clerk went to
work in his new position and so con
firmed his employer's good impression
that his promotion was rapid. He went
from one responsible position to another
until he was next to the manager of the
house. A short time ago tbe manager
died, and "our hero, now no longer a
young man of coarse, but still in tbe
brimeof life, took his place at a salary
very nearly if not quite as large as that
of tbe presibent of the United States.

A BEAR STORY.
Some Well Known Young -Men Encounter
a Bruin with Feathers.
Sampson Democrat
The Democrat bus intelligence of a
really dreadful eccunted with what was
at the time supposed to be a bear. The
scene of-the conflict lay in South Clinton
township, near Matthis' station. Mr.
John Hoke and several ladies under his
chaperonage 'were in the woods picking
huckleberries when they heard an unus
ual noise. They lent it their ears and as
certained that it came(trom a pile oi trees
that were blown down, and interlapped in
an adjacent jungle. It was at once con
cluded that a bear was at hand and say
ing a sort of grace before dining upon Mr.
Hoke and his party. With this idea, the
procession moved rapidly out of the
woods and reacnea tne open in a panic
stricken condition. Mr.
Jerry Mattbis
who lives near by, and is an officer of the 1
Sampson .Light Infantry, was miormea, i

day and Lutrell Culbreth of Clinton were
met and enlisted, they are also members
of the Sampson Light Infantry. Mr.
Matthis carried the only gun in the troop,
while the others were armed with axes,
hoes and other agricultural Jraplemeats
The expedition presented some such ap
pearance as a squad 01 conuneniais on
their way to Bunker Hill. The enemy
was presently located, and it heard the
tr&mn of the bovs marching. From under

council of war was held as to how to get
the animal out. Mr. Wilson was given
the trun and stood unon a high log, as he
thought out of danger. Messers. Holliday
and Culbreth also took stands upon , a log
while Mr. Matthis stirred up the jungle.
A large black object made a lunge in the
direction of Mr Wilson who in consequ-.
lost his balance and feu off

The divorce mill was pat to work again
this morning in tbe superior court and

more than an hour. ,'Two material knots.
were untied within that time, the story
brought out in one showing that a young
girl who married a much older man
found herself an old man's slave instead
of an old man's darling
It was in tbe application of Mrs. .Louise I

Tilly, who sought a divorce from her hus
band, Koland U. Tilly, to whom she was
married in 1870. . She is the daughter ot
Mr. Jones.a well known and wealthy far

Mrs. Tilly states in ber petition to the
court that she was not quite 19 years oi
age when she was married to Roland
Tilly, who was a man much older than
herself. She had been reared by wealthy
and indulgent parents who had given her
a gooa education ana naa never requirea

her to do any hard work. On account
of her husband being older than herself
by several years, she looked up to him
and gave him the same degree of re vers
ence she was wont to give to her lather.
WORKED UNTIL SHE WAS OVERCOME.
They settled on a farm given ber by
ber father.and then ber husband required
ber to cook.wash.iron and milk the eows.
When she was not engaged in this wort
he bad her out in the field doing the work
of a common farm band. This she was
forced to keep up for four years, the
length of time she remained on the farm.
When it was too wet to chop tne cotton
her husband made her go into the field
and thin it out with her fingers. Often
when at work she would be overcome
w;th fatigue and would sink down beside
uq row to reBt. In a very few moments
6he would be aroused by her husband's
vOi0O calling her, Well, Lou, don't you
think your hoe has rested long enough?'

Profanity a Tyrant.
Wilmington Messenger.
A man uses oaths and blasphemous -
imprecations because he recognizes the
need of strong laguage. but is so poorly
equipped that he cannot make it strong
with simple respectable English.
Man is denied by sin and hence he for-
gets God and indulges in blasphemous
and profaned language. He is either in
different to what God teaches" and re
quires or he is forgetful ot the solemn
declaration of God as to . tbe fate of the
swearer. "And the dead were judged
out ot those things which were written
in the books, according to their works."
It would be remarkable but for its fre
quency that men should swear and out
rage God, their maker. There is a com-.
plete want for reverence when a man
forgets God and tbe proprieties and de
cencies and uses tbe language of tbe slum
and "swears like a trooper" or tbe foul
mouthed blasphemers. It is an awful
bait to fall into. No man is to be excus
ed for suoh offences against God and . de
cency. No man not beastly in nature
wyl swear in tbe presence of a pure,
noble woman. This shows when he
swears in tbe presence of ministers of
the Gospel, before tbe aged, and among
real Christians, that he is lacking In
proper breeding, is very deficient in rev.
erence. It is a very imperfect character.
that is without proper reverence for God
for character, for what is manly and
good and noble. No sensible man who
reflects but must admit that he gives no
force or dignity to his opinion by putting,
in most offensive explentives that shock
the selta-espectmg and morally upright,
and lowers his own dignity, and sell re
spect. We doubt if a man of decent.
manners and proper regard lor self ever
8 wears and thinks who does not regret
and condemn tho vile habit and deplore
the easy slavery he wears. A true gen
tleman should eschew prolan lty - as he
would a house of pestilence, He should
reguard the properties, should respect
age, should not wantonly offend Chris

The Episcopacy of The Presbytery.
Nashville Christian Advocate.
We have a great admiration for our
Presbyterian brethren. They are a won
derful people almost equal to the metno
dists. If by any means our church should
ever go to pieces, we might be compelled
to seek a resting place among the disci
ples of John Calvin, provided always
they did not try to force tbe decretum -
horribile down our throat, xnere is no -amount
ot sugar coating that could ren
der that pill palatable. Perhaps Brother
Landrith would be kind enough to make
room for ns among the "Cumberlands."
Who knews? For the present, however,
we are very comfortable, thank yon, and
have not tbe faintest desire to seek new
auarters
