I remember hearing Mr. Owen Hugum. then a immU r of the leg islature from Onslow county, frty live years ago, tell how he wan de ceived by appareiH-e.

I rut a moderate nixed switch a 1 went atom; and a hen I got m ar him I said. "I'm sorry to whip you; but, a you have ('ITi-ndi'd me, and don't aecm disxed to beg my pardon, uorev.-u apologize, it' my duly t teach you how to my proper resvt to a p n tleman." Uy that time I was within my length of him, with my switch uplifted to rut him amiss the shoul der. I don't know how it was done, but U'fun the switch descended he bowed hiui-lf like a bucking mule and came at me like a honi.'t; went weight, when Mr. Hoggin said in an ejeited manner: "tlentlemen, there' nothing in size and weight, for I have both, a you see; yet I got a whipping once I've always been ashamed of, from a little tallow faced, weasly-looking fellow, who didn't look like he could pull a chicken's head nil. He as, my shoemaker made shoes for my negroes. One day he made me mail and 1 deter mined to thrash him, if he was a white man. I told him to go down into the wooda, mv cow pasture, take oil his coat and gel ready for a flogging, lie went oft so east down, 1 felt sorry for him; hut I'd told him I was go ing to whip him and to keep my word it had to be done. I watched Imn until he reached the wok Is; ami when 1 saw the poor little fellow pull oil his coat and hang it on a bush my conscience eluded me for lieeom- iug offended with such a pitiful ob ject; I was almost inclined to rail him back and for 'ive him. Itnt , I thought to do that might U making a bad precedent, w hich, in the future, would give me trouble; so I finally decided I had better whip him, though I wouldn't hurt him very much just enough to let him know his place.

I hated to cry out for help, but I would have given the worth of the best m cro I had to have someone come and pull him off. All of a sudden he sprang ofT, and rising to his fii t. stood and looked at me as if he were sorry for me. Then he stepped toward me and said, just as innocently ami meekly as if nothing had happened: "'Squire, it up and I'll brush the dirt ofT'n you!" And he did. No, tiMiilcim ii. there's nollt ing in size and weight; but there's a sidit 111 knouin" how. Mr. 1 1 iiiiis spake a proverb w lien he said thai. In the affairs id I111 there is more in knowinc how than in brute force. A thousand Con federate soldiers under Stonewall Jackson could have put to lliht the great army of Xerxes, because they knew how. In the maiiv departments of busi ness men and women arc failing lo calise tiiev 1I011 1 Know now. urine force is alright in a hull light, when the animals are evenly matched; but the cowbov who knows how to throw a lasso can, with apparent ease, warn subdue a whole pen full of the licrccst and strongest animals, ami call it a pastime. Ihats lietause he knows how. And so, in business, men depend ing solely on physical lorce; or, wiiai amounts to the wine thing on the notions and opinions of other days, lieforescience had unlocked her store house of inventions and eMTieiiee had demonstrated the suM riority of intelligence over ignorance, are hav ing a hard time of it; while those w ho spend half their time 111 learn ing how are prospering on less than half the labor their fathers had to do to make a living. Mv father owned a negro when 1 was a Ixiy, who furnishes me a line illustration, lie didn't have a par ticle of ingenuity, but did things by main force. If he were choppingcot- ton and a Hint rock lay where he was to strike the next blow, instead of gently removing the rock with his hoc and then chopping, he would throw all his strength into that blow- as if lie expecteil to anniniiate me stone. Of course, he battered the hoe. Then, he would hike the llintmck; ami siM'nd half an hour trying to "whet his hoe." My recollection is that he spent at least half his time whetting his hoe. Some people are dome things that are equally absurd; they liegin with out know ing how; and being too full of their old time moss-covered ways to learn anything, they try to capture the hull by swinging to his tail in stead at throwing the lasso over Ins horns ; and try to split the rock in stead of removing it and getting it, once for all, out of the way. But, w ho can learn everything one ought to know beforehand ? Some things have to lie learned by exiien- ence, as for instance, how to manage children. Theory will do well enough for those people who have no chil dren to raise in fact I never saw a childless man or woman who did not know how children should lie man aged ; but, to those who have chil dren, it is quite a dilTcrcnt affair. They need all the wisdom which theory, combined with grace ani ex ierience, can afford them, and then but few of them know how to train a child. Speaking of training children, I sometimes use a railroad train as an illustration; the engine and tender (father and mother) going ahead, and siiinniiiiuiiiiiiiiuiiimiiirtiwiiuiiiiiiia 1 It. W.

But the Uiuisburg branch 01 llie fra board Air Line knock my illustra tion all awry. Instead of turning around at hmisburg and Krankhn ton, the engine and tender pull one way and push the other. If you are coming from Ijuiisburg the engine and tender pull (engine foremioU. but going back to lioiiishurg they back, the tender ahead. I never ride over that road but I think of fami lies that are run on the same plan "pulling forward awhile, then back ing." As a theory founded on (!od's word, fathers should be patriarchs and mothers should be helpmeets; and always run ahead of the train, keeping well on the track and never backing. 1 am sure that most fathers and mothers- I might sav all - love their children and desire to rear them up to lie useful and happy; and they are therefore eager to gain any informa tion that w ill aid them in so doing. I was confirmed in that opinion some years ago. 1 announced at Ieah's Cliael, one Sunday, that at my next apiNinitment there I would preach on the training of children. The mouth rolled around and on Saturday night before the first Sunday, I toped with a family near laah's, where I heard that all the mothers, far and near, were coming out the next day to learn how to '"raise" children. Sure enough, when I arrived at the church they were there, liabiea as well as mothers, and it was very evi dent that there was somehow a mis understanding, that ought to I' cor rected at once; so, as soon as I could well do no, I made the remark that the subject of the morning's dis course would Is-, "The moral train ing of children," adding that any body who could raise a pig could raise a child, so far as the feeding was concerned; but training a child, in the Bible sense, was a different and much more dithctilt matter. There was a look of disappointment, following this remark, on very many faces; for, as I afterward learned, mothers were then' w hocxccted me to tell them how to cure whooping- cough, chicken-pox, croup, measles. burns, alone-bruises, sprains and bner-scratches, as well as to treat iiMin all the other ills ami accidents to w hich children are liable. I was sorry to disapimint so many anxious mothers, but duty and truth com pelled me to admit that I didn't know any better way to raise children than to give them plenty to eat and keep them clean. I went out to Macedonia, a few Sundays ago, to preach the funeral of a hidv who died several months ago. Before arriving at the church 1 was hailed by a gentleman at the residence of Mr. Christopher Wood- ard, and informed that his wife had died the night before, and it was Mr. Woodard s desire that, on my return, I would stop and preach her funeral, which I did. Macedonia, when I was a boy, was a very small affair, in the way of a church, a hundred yards or more from the road, completely cut off from view by a thick growth. My father, a local Methodist preacher, was the pastor of a flock that came out of the surrounding woods, and for mitny year he served them, re ceiving but little, if anything, for his huthful and continued services. My father died in Ml. Since his death many changes have taken place. In the first place, all the wisidland has been cleared, and many of the small farms have been purchased and thrown into larger farms, so that the whole country is owned by a few men. The old Macedonia church building was torn down and a new ono built by Rev. John F. Butt, twen ty-odd years ago ; since which time tiip apa liniment has been served by preacher, sent by the conference. lAst year. Rev. M. M. Mcl'ailaiul lieing the pastor, the church build ing was moved two miles farther away from Raleigh and set up at the fork of the roads leading to 1 lolly Springs and Haywood. I have writ ten all tins hi say that I was greatly pleased at the change which had been made in location: and csiicci- ally at the improvements I could but observe, in the size of the Sunday school and of the congregation as well. I thought as I sat in the pul pit, so pleasantly and tastefully ar ranged, and looked tiKin a congrega tion as well dressed and quite as intelligent, and as appreciative, of the gospel aa any other congregation to which I preach, that if the old ser vant who sowed the seeds away back yonder could look down from heaven and sec "Old Macedonia" as it is h day, how it would make him rejoice! Then Una text came to me, "1 hey rest from their lalxint, ami their works do follow them." And this thought followed, "It matters, not whether the seed mwn bring forth fruit today or tomorrow this year or next year; the fruit will come, if the seed sow n bo good. For a thousand year in the night of the I-ord are but a yesterday.

W rlltea ft The lmal. After the aclusd closed al I'inchVId in the summer. I went luck to the farm and worked on it till theschud J ociied again in the w inter. ' On Ik-cetuber 1. .13, 1 made this entry: "Theschml at Pita-lield U-gan last Monday, lee. l?th. The debat ing society, which was organized last summer, has been eoutiuiied." As to my debating qualities, I made this statement: "It seems that I forget even-thing when I get up to speak and my talk sells cheap'" For January 12. SI, I find this entry: There is nothing discourag ing in my scIkjoI and am well grati fied at llie work the children are doing. I am seeiully pleased at the effort they are making to seak and to recite. While they do not sH-ak to iierfcction, they seem to have a commendable will. So, mutually, our efforts are inspiring." Monday, January 13: "Why it is so, is an almost inexplicable mystery, but on Monday I nearly always feel discouraged. It seems that I cannot get starU-d off right. Everything seems to go by w rongs. 1 w as glad to see four new pupils in school to day. January It: "I feel a little out of gear this morning." P. M.: "While 1 was inclined to lie dejected in the forenoon, I have had a reasonable success in teaching today. It has been raining all day, and the stu dents have lieen disposed hi be a lit tle noisy. I can't bring any grievous complaint against anyone. I, myself. have liccn a little out of humor to day. Notwithstanding the min, there was a very full school; 42 were pres ent, 8 were absent. Oh, !od, help me to be a teacher not only of the mind, but also of the heart. So be it." January 10: "Aa I went down to on-n sc!u.l in the forenoon, it seemed as if everything was pointing!?) in the wrong direction. I Tailed in start ing the liit in the stove, and then 1 had to go up to Mr. Parker's for matches. I also got vexed more than once, but by grace I was enabled to control myself. In the afternoon 1 had better success." January 111 : "Monday morning again. School seems to be slow in assembling. It is a cloudy morning and the students are tardier than usual. I called school at 8:10 a. m., and now only 11 are present. One more, Miss Alice, has just come in, and her bright face sheds a radiance about this little room, despite the clouds." I made the following entry after adjournment of school on the same day: "Was I ever worried so before? It seems that everything has gone 'zacly' wrong today. The stu dents never did so ugly before. Well, 1 must remember this is Mon day. If the world ever turns up side t?) down, surely it will be on Mon day. But the trouble doubtless was in me. I came to school down-spirited this morning." January 20: "Ellie is such a charm ing little girl. She came to school today. She has the most pleasing countenance of any girl I almost ever saw. Indeed, I almost covet her lov ing disM)sition." January 21: "Friday is here again. Bright-fared children are coining in groiqw. Oh, good Spirit, direct me in my work today! I want to do a good day 'a work." January 27: "Had a full school to day. Willis, 'Little Cauiio,' as the boys call him, was also present, lie is a little 'rough.' He is only 15 years old, and he says: J chew, smoke, and cuss, too!' What a pity for such a boy! What can be done to elevate him!" January 2rt: "I have promised to go home with Iee tonight, and I dread the visit. But I hope it will do some gixid." After making the visit, I made this entry: "I tilled the above mentioned engagement, and was ex ceedingly surprised. 1 was Imiled with all due consideration, and really enjoyed the visit. K'hruary 13: " I he lioys are linv ing a jolly lime today at noon. They have closed the door on me and in tend to make nie promise to 'treat.' 1 am not going to promise anything, for what I do I'll do of my own ac cord. But I am perfectly willing for them to get all the pleasure they can out of this affair, provided they do not hinder school work too long. February 17: "I went to town to day and bought 2(1 pounds of candy for my school at Pinefield, which closes next Friday. Those twenty lKjuuda will give about a half pound to each student, and it gives me pleas ure to give this 'treat to my stu dents, for they have been loyal and obedient." U'l me nay in conclusion, that whenever I paid a compliment to my students, I did it heartily. I soon forgot all grievances, and never cher ished a grudge against anyone. E.D.O. (To he Cnallaueri).

The capitalistic one conceived the idea of buying off his rival. He olfered him lutl to go away and stay away six months. The poor young man said he would consider the matter. And he did in company with the girl. They agreed to take the money of the young man, get married and go together. The deal was completed, and the poor young man got his money and started for Denver, liul he stopvc at the first station, where he was joined by his lady love, and they were married by a justice of the jM-ace. lhe rich young mini consulted a lawyer and was told that he had no grounds for a suit; that the young mail hud kept his agreement by going away; and it wasn't stipulated that he should go alone.

Welsh ask the readers of this paper w ho are aulferiug with indigestion or dynpepsia to rail on them at once and get a bot tle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. If you knew the value of this remedy as we know it, you would not sutler another day. Koilol Dynpepsia Cure is a thor ough digestaut and tissue building tun ic as well. It is endorsed personally by hundreds of people whom it has cured of indigestion, dyspepsia, palpitation of tlie heart and stomach troubles gen eially. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. It is pleasant, palatable aud strengthening. We never expect large results from a church that depends more on music than religion to attract its congregations.

"I wish to say a few words in praise of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedy," says Mrs. Maltte Hnrge of Martiusville, Va. "I sulfered from chronic diarrhoea for 10 years and dur ing that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent re lief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her en tire relief. I then decided to try the medicine myself, snd did not use all of one bottle before I was well and 1 have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This remedy is (or ssle by S.J. Welsh and C. N. Simpson, jr.
