Correspondence of The Rocket, i t Fully realizing the power of the press n, suppressing evil and correct ing error, and believing thatTtha masae will be jmore generally reacb eid through a secular than aVeligious paper, please, allow me, through the colums of your widely Circulated pa- per, 10 uwer my protest against one of the' most disgustingtand 'xiseless naoiis or tne day, viz: the habit ol xpilling tobacco juice on church floors. Now I propose, in a very brief way, to giye some reasons wby those who use tobacco should desist from its use in church. In the first place, it is very annoying to those who do not jase it.- We ha.ve often lost'the very pith and marrow of a good ser mon by sitting by; a man who had a wad of tobacco in his mouth as big as a hickory nut and .who displayed more 'energy; tnT cKewlng it than be ever did at anything else, and who . seemecl to think that it was his relig ious duty to make as big'a'puddle of tobacco juice as possible on the floor. Perhap?amvcer-Ase4sltiye it may be that if I belonged to the "fraternity" I tvouldn't mind itj but I expect there are many others who have a lite expenencev J: 1 Another reason why , they should desist is that they fought to have more respect for lhe ladies of the church. In countr churches (I can't say as to cities) the ladies have the care of keeping the (fcfrurcb" neat and tidy; they sweep it out, &c. It must be very trying on the dear sis ters to have to wade through ponds of tobacco juice .when sweeping, out the. churchi Ohtx ye tobacco chew er.(you wha chew in church, 1 meant wberejayour gallantry ? ?Jn th nx.t - plaoo tk Mki t-hr more respect for msrfoethau to spit on the church floor. Any man who has 4be self-respect tbaUhe ought to iave TrouW surely do nothing, know ingly, that would lower bis standing as a gentleman. Well, spitting to bacco juice upon the floor of a church doesn't raise him any in the estima tion of all decent people. I remem ber seeing, some time ago, a very ap propriate placard on the wall of a car just above the door. It read thus; "Those who expect to rate as gentlemen will not expectorate on the floor." I think a similar placard ought to be hung on every wall of everv church in our land. But the strongest reason why men should not use tobacco in.church is that the church is God's house; built for and dedicated to Him and His service. No- gen tleman, no m atter how grea t a slaKe-hje may J to- tobacco, would dream of uslig) tobacco in a lady's house and spitting on the floor, but he, can go into the church OoaVs house and indulge in this disgust ing habit with impunity - Wrhy, do we try to beautify our churches ? Why scour the floor or Daint the walls if it is eoing to be made a huge spittoon? I don't be lieye there ever was a man who was such a slave to tobacco that he could noi do without a chew during the hour or hour and a half of divine service. ; If there are those who must chew in-church I think' the church should furnish" them with a kind of portable mttoon -hich' could be fastened 'r?Sd .tbeirrjeckswhent r -w . infdTiurch. uhewing tobacco in ctturcVisane,'u habit, and pughi to go. f .

As to the Dependent Pension-Bill, that is sim- ly a'measure conceived by Repub ican politicians in order to catch the soldier vote of the North and West. It is a most onerous and oppressive measure,' however, which bears un justly upon us, although the oppo sition to the bill is as strong, nay, stronger, in the South. Butour peo ple, in so far as paying the pensions of those who made them poor and desolate, have never murmured at what bore the traces of comparative fairness. They have submitted to war taxes in times of peace, and have resolutely endured the oppression But it is not just and fair, honorable and statesmanlike, to crush the life out of us with additional taxation under any such scheme as the De pendent PensiorT BillWe" believe that President Cleveland will veto that .measure again, as is threatened, if it is brough t beforo Congress at the approaching session. As to pensions for Confederate veterans, the South wishes no aid from the National Treaury. Whatever is done will be done by our own people, out of their own poverty. ' We simply ask j ustice and we do protest against any increase of taxation. 1 IJiiiteed ana Cotton Seed Meal.

I ''The rnost- important thought that ever occupied my mind," said Mr. Webster, uwa3 that of my indi vidual reponsibility to God." And after speaking oh this subject in the most solemn strain for some twenty minutes, he solemnly rose from the table and retired to his room. This incident, related by Harvey in his Reminiscences, serves to illus trate the attitude of great minds to ward eternal things. 2 Great men are not scoffers.- lhe men. of flippant sneers and godless jests are men of small calibre and shallow intellect. It is not the wise man who has "said in his heart there is no God.' It is not the great man who casts off fear and restraiusoprayer before Him. A great "man comprehends some thing greater than himself, for he is but the image of a divine Creator, marred, defaced and distorted by sin, yet bearing testimony to the dig nity and grandeur of the divine orig inal, whose glory is so faintly shad owed in the man whom he has made, and endowed with intellect, and will and conscience, and whom he has made' to feel, in the depths of his soul, the importance of "Indvidual responsibility to God."
