A PREACHES SIN. T ' - From the Arkansaw Traveler. In one .of the middle counties of North Carolina there' stands to-day the decaying remains of an old church, built in true primitive style, of hewn logs and weather-boarded with ."clap-boards.''" Passing the the spot a few days since, and.resU ing.under the cooling shade of the spreading .oaks, which, erstwhile", was a well-kept grove, called to mind a long forgotten story connect ed with the old church, which is well worth a recital, because it car,-, ries with it a wholesome moral. It is not the "correct thing," I admit, to write storie&iith "-morula". in this progressive age but will relieve gj,! appreheaipn by stating in the out set that I do. not: propose; to. moral ize j. the : story ca Erics with it the moral,, to. those who choose to apply it, . : " V" As stated, the house is an old one ; it was an old one at the. time of which I write, when I used to sit in, its straight-back "pews" and listen to the "drippings from the sanctuary!" The grove surrounding the hallowed old edifice is. a beautiful one, and the clean gravel walks and grassy plots made it picturesque and lovely. In 18 , the Rev. Mr. Norfleet was the pastor in charge of the circuit to. which, this church belonged, and he preached at Bethel the first and third Sundays in. each, month. Mr. Norfleet was comparatively a young man not more than 30, was of me dium sie, straight black Hair, and black." eyes : which fairly - sparkled when in the height of a discourse. Rather handsome,, pleasing in ad dress and insinuating in manners, he had the confidence and esteem of his entire congregation of credulous, simple country folk. He was much given to moral; sentiment and virtu ous pr.ecepts, and lost no occasion to lecture his. flock, both publicly and privately until they came ,' to look upon him as a second Paul. But a close observer of human nature would - haye Beeiv beneath all this outward sanctity a subtle cunning foreign to one who is consecrated.. Among the members of his con gregation was a Mr.-Silas Markham, a thrifty, well-to-do farmer. ', whose home the preacher alw.ays made his stopping-place when .-att his appoint ments. Mr. Markham had a pretty daughter,. wha .as' the - promised wife of Joe Niven, a young man who owned a neighboring farm. Martha Markham and Joe, Niveh had been engaged for more than a year,, and Joe had often entreated her to I' "set the 'dayJA but she?, would. as of ten put him off with the reply; "No, Joe, there's plenty of time yet. Let's wait a little while longer," and, giving him: a: hearty kiss', ishi would invaluably send. biro, on his way in happy". anticipation, of an early con summation of his wishes. i , ; - ;Thust it vveiit on for several months, and 'n't rlast 'Joe' began . to notice a little diffidence : on the part of his affianced ; she rwas. no ionger free and easy in his presence, arid any J hint about marriage was cut short. He, noticed ,'also tb' a inj fereo ce i -4 Mr I IU IUC UllUlObCJL ULUUgUt U1U3UCS her cheeks aad silenceto heritongue, while,formerly"she; dilated on every gesture and eyery phraseof his -ser-mons; , over: and. over .again, in the most rapturous and innocent man ner Finally, ibe refused to go to church with him and went with-the minister instead, - This set the, gos sips - a-going and stung Joe to ; the heart, and ho lost no time in calling upon her for an explanation? 1 "Martha," he sakl,,"it is now .two years since you promised to become my wife, i How much lonser-mustil wait?!'; i 'l 3 J - , fl don't know," she repliedj'in. on evasive way,s"wait--wait, till L-get ready ":. : !: '-r. i . -?

"How dare you or the neighbors either to accuse me of such a thing?" she replied-with some asperity "I supppse I have a right, if r see fit, to rida to preaching with the minister.

'-" . . - :"' ..With a sigh, Joe Niven turned and left her standing on the porch. He wended his way homeward with a heavy heart, for he loved Martha with the full strength of his jnatur-e. The only, consolation that ;came to. him was that .conference was near at hand, and perhaps Mr.' Norfleet would be transferred " to some other charge and Martha's love would re turn to him, "if indeed it had been alienated, which he could. hardly be lieve to be true.1 -She was infatuated, h e argued :no th i ng m ore? I only but ah, he dared not think of the pos sibilities. - ' . Joe becan? abnpst a, eclue. He ceased to go to preach mg, or any where else. Conference met and Mr, Norfleet was returned to U - circuit. Joe's hopes " sank.: and he gave himself up to despair. He went absolutely nowhere, and had, but few callers, from whom he Jearned that Martha went regularly to preaching with the minister, and 'seldom with arivoneelse. .

' ' 1 Our esteemed contemporary, the- , Tribune,! does not . understand-it. would notintentionally misstatethe nature of the. feeling entertained in... -quarters at . the South :,against Mr. , George W. Cable. . . It is notjrue that the South r or any other representa-" t iive .element there has denounced and sought to boycott Mr. Cable be?" cause he criticised its political melh- . ods and conviction., Neither. does , any intelligent human being-bllfex'o that -Mr. Cable's "descriptions and . characterizations hayo- injured the reputation of the South.". - I There is no quarrel with Mr. Ca- . ble on these grounds none what- , ever. The South is not a terra incog nita. - It is not a remote arid impen- etrable jungle known to Mr. Cable alone, and the good name of which ; is at his mercy. He is free to tell" his story, and those who- will may believe'it. But there are other sUv ries to' be told. Mr. Cable is one. of a thousand who discusses the South, and not by any means the only one who is'entitled to respect. His dis- -'H-approval is not regarded as formid- able. His condemnation carries with ' it no penalty." People who know tho truth about the South,' who are fa , miliar with its social and industrial .' conditions, do not go to Mr, "-Cable ' for . the facts or reiy upoahim for their opinions. They understand all this at the South, and .they sel dom consider Mr. Cable as a factor in their prosperity Or an .influence Upon their standing before the world.',, jjc jc Jc . But the real cause of whatever re sentment may be felt toward Mr. Cable at the South is' the belief on the part of the people that he him self inspires such expressions as those indulged in by the Tribune yesterday. There is a feeling that Mr. Cable is responsible for, naj-, 1 that he has.deliberately created and disseminatedj the impression that he is a martyr to his honest con vie-' tions; that he, a Southerner by birth t a soldier of the Confederacy and it- creditable product of Southern de-; velopment, is prosecuted and oslra-. cized.by his own people because he has the intelligence to form an opin- -ion of his own and the manhood to ; avow it. Nothing meaner, or more injurious could be charged upon a',;: community, and the conviction that v Mr; Cable has caused this charge to be made against them fully justifies aM the distaste in which that gentle-, man. is held. The-distsiste is not very pronounced and is not at all wide-; spread, but such as it is, and in so 1 far as it exists, the explanation of it ' here given is. the true one. There is , no hope of: making a martyr of Mrv; Cable. He was bora South, to be sure, but he was not a soldier ofthfi:. Confederacy, unless 'tworjohth's ser vice as quartermaster's, clerks with a regiment of home guards may be called such, and what little social recognition he enjoys in New.
