From the da ys of the first lniudcre1'
down to the present time, tlie selfish na
ture of man has continued, with constant
variations of language, to utter this de
fiant excuse to the Almighty. Responsi
bility has been perpetually avoided, or
impatiently thrown off by this petulant
cry. All disregard for the rights of
others or contemptuous indifference to
the wailing cry of universal humanity
has often been vtolidly excimed by thi
hard and forbidding and almost despar
ing will of him who first imbruted his
hand in his brother's blood. How of
ten do we see the weary step, and anxi
ous brow of our neighbor, that indicate
the hidden trouble or the biting sorrow
within, and never turn from our patl
to administer consolation, or to hold out
a Helping nana to tlie despairing
and broken-hearted ? A simple, earnest
kind, or affectionate word will cost us
nothing, and yet how much it may do

THE A i ITATt RS.
We learn from Rev. S. R Tra
wick that Rev. M. I.. Wood will preach
the annual sermon before the pupils of
Kernersville Academy the 1st Sabbath
in dune, and Hon. I'. ' . lo.iii.ins ol
Lexington will deliver the literary ad-
Iress .lime 4th. We also learn from
the worthy I 'resident , llro. Trawick.
that the school is in a flourishing condi
tion, numbeniig about Ml pupils the
present session.
Trinity College is to have a Nor
mal School, to commence .luue liiiih,
and continue 4 weeks. Ample arrange
ments are being made for a grand suc
cess. The organisation, as we learn, is
complete. Teachers and others will
find it to their interest to attend. It
will be both profitable and pleasant.
Thi' expense will be so small that anv
niie can afford to attend. No charge
for tuition, and good board with fur
nished rooms can be had for if0.. fid per
week.
It is -ot an organ it noi-not solicit this life, or distracted by anxieties for
the future. Friend, speak that word,
give that friendly cheer to your neighbor

poor unfortunate it can'',1'' vou no
harm, and how much it will be to that
despondent one.
How large a responsibility, just here,
rests upon the followers of Christ for the
non-con version of sinners. Many good
men pass all their days in endeavoring
to serve Cod, and yet fail at this point.
They strive to keep their hearts in com
munion with Cod, and yet do not em
brace in their desires their poor uncon
verted neighbors or associates. They
never speak to them of the dear Savior,

supply to the weary and broken-heart
