Many years ago I senta Sab Uith with Thomas Jefferson, at his residence in Virginia. It was in the month of June, and the weath er was delightful. Whilecngnged in discussing the lieautics of the llible. the sound of a Itell broke ii I m n our ears, when, turning to the sage of Monticello, I remark id, "How sweetly, how very sweetly sounds the Sabbath 111 The disiinuishisl statesman for a moment seemed lost in thought, and then replied: Yes, my tlear V lister, yes, it melts the heart, it calms the passions, and makes us I toys again." Here I oltservcd that man was only an animal formed for religious worship, and that notwithstanding all the sophis try of Kpicuras, Lucretius, and Voltaire, the Sc riptures stool uon a rock as linn, as immovable as Iruth itself. That man, in his purer, loftier breathings, turned the mental eyes toward immortal ity, ami that "the soul, secure in her existence, smiles at the drawn dagger, ami defies its itoint.' Mr. Jefferson fully concurred in this opinion, and oltservcd that the tendency of the American mind was in a different din ction; and that Sunday, schools (he did not use our more correct term, Sal Itath) presented the only legitimate moans under the Constitution of avoiding the rock on which the French republic was wrecked. "Burke. said he, "never uttered a more iniortant truth than when he exclaimed that "a religious ed ucation was the cheaicst defense of natioivs." "Kaikes,' said Mr. Jef ferson, 'has done more, for our country than the present genera tion will acknowledge; ierhaus when I am cold, he will obtain his reward; I hoi a" so, earnestly hoe so; I am considered by many, Mr. Welister, to have little religion, but now is not the time to correct er rors of this sort. I have always said aud always will say, that the studious ierusal of the sacred volume will make Itelter citizens, belter fathers, and better hus bands. Of :lhe distinguished Haikes, he wal "claruin et vener able nornon'.". I took the liberty of. saying that I found more jileasure in Hebrew poetry than . in the bet productions of Greece and Kome. That the' "harp upon' Children Obey Your PJrtnts tresslnr Traredy. (Stateaville Landmark.) That is a very distressing inci dent which occurred at Asheville a few days ago. A 12-year-old boy, resisting his mother's attempt to correct him, caused her to fall, the shock resulting in her death. It is an awful lesson to children about disobedience to parents, and there is, too, a lesson to parents. Pos sibly if the boy has been disci plined earlier he would not have leen so disobedient at 12. It was Voltaire who said that if given the first four years of a child's life he would be resionsibIe for the re mainder. Children who are not taught to obey from earliest infan cy will not submit to discipline in later years. Neither is it benefi cial to parents or children to at tempt to correct children in anger. Possibly this may have caused the Asheville tragedy. Hut whatever the trouble the tragedy has result ed and it is a most distressing case. A Good Man's Work. (Sptsial to The Oltesrver.) . Mount Airy, Aug. 22. --.Mr. George Iee, Itook-keepr in the First National Hank, leaves Tues day morning on a trip to the mount ains of Virginia with his little Uiys. Mr. Iee is a single man ami delights in looking to the welfare of the Iwys of the city. He siends all his idle or sare time in teaching, training anil in uplifting little boys of the city. This is a work of love with Mr. Lee. He is doing more for little lys than every other agency in this place and sitends nearly all his earning for the good of others. No man has ever done a better work and no man is more devoted to the cause of humanity. His name ami influence will live in the hearts of all these boys long after Mr. Lee has gone to his reward.

The name of this citizen with an antipathy for headgear and a disregard for con ventionality is (Jr. L. Shorey, an employee of the Department of Commerce and Labor. "Wearing a hat is more a habit than anything else and probably descended to us from- our feudal ancestors, who wore steel helmets to prevent being knocked in the head by their warring neighbors," said Mr. Shorey. 4T reached the conclusion some time ago that a hat was burdensome and have not worn one summer or winter for over three years. I find that my health is improved anil that mi' hair, which was inclined to fall out, is now as thick as in my younger days. I am not endeav oring to pose ns an arbiter of fashion nor am 1 a leader in a new cult, but so far as I am person ally concerned, no hat for mine." Quadruplets Born to Them. Honaker, Va., Aug. 27. Mrs. Joshua Fosut, of Russell county, yesterday gave birth to four chil dren. One of them lived only a few hours, but the others are well and it is believed will live. The mother is a young woman, s-eighs 130 pounds and has been enjoying fine health. The father, who is a prosperous planter, is so proud of the babies that he pro poses to have their picture taken and sent to President Roosvelt. This is believed to be the first in stance on record in this section of a mother giving birth to quadru plets. Two of the babies were boys and the other two girls. It was one of the latter which died. The child res weighed alxut four pounds each. Misinterpretation.

He ought to make a good editor when-he grows up: "Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff to read is printed. The men look over it and see their names in it. I don't know how newspapers came into the world. I don't think God does. The Bible says nothing about editors, and I never heard of one being in heaven. The first editor I heard of was a fellow who wrote up the Hood. He has been here ever since. Some editors belong to the church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them raise Cain in their neighborhood. Sometimes the pa per dies and then people feel glad, but some one starts it up again. Editors never went to school be cause editors don't get licked. Our paper is a mighty loor one but we take it so ma can use it on her pantry shelves. Our editor don't amount to much, but pa says he had a poor chance when a boy. He goes without underclothes in winter, wears ho socks and has a wife to support him. Pa has not paid his subscription in five years and don't intend to." Change Of Heart. (N. Y.

Good evening." about nine million negroes and, a great many newly imported for- eiimei-sr some of whom are very impulsive with weapons. The negroes kill pretty freely. Out of 7,3f( iiersons charged with homicide in this country in 1890, 2, i 39 were negroes and 1,213 were foreign-born whites. These two grouiis, comprising one-fourth of the imputation, did four-sevenths of the murders. That left 3.165 murders to be distributed among about forty-five millions of people. which is not so bad. It will prob ably be found, when the census bulletin comes out, that the ratios of 1890 were maintained in 1900.

We read, too, that there was very lately dying at Fordham Hospital, New York, and Italian who had been kicked nearly to death by some of his countrymen. Amputation was urged upon him to save his life, but he declined, saying: "If I live to get out, 1 shall kill my as sailants and then I will die in the electric chair. I might as well die now!"
