A RIGHT START.
Richmond Christian Advocate.-.
A young man was recently graduated
from a scientific school. ' His home hnd
been a religious one, He wa a member of
a Christian Church, hud pious parents,
brother aud fclsters ; his family was one in
Christ. ; '. . -
On graduatiag 'he determined ,npon a
Western life among the miners. Full cf
courage and hope, he staried on his journey
to strike out tor himself in a new weld.
The homo prayer followed him. Ai ho
went he foil into company with older men.
They liked Lim for his frank manners and
his manly independence As they jour
neyed together they stopped lor a Sabbath
iu a border town. On the morning cf the
Sabbath Que of bis follow travelers said to
him, "Come, let us be eff for a drive and
the siahts."
No," said tho young mJin, "I am going
to church. I have boen brought up to
keep the Sabbath, and I have" promised
my mother to keep on in that way."
His roai acquaintance looked at him for
a moment, and then slapping him on the
shoulder, said: "Rights my boy. p began
in that way. I wish I tad kept on; Yonnq
man, yon will do. Slick to your briugiaj;
up. aud your mother's words, and yon
will win."
Th'i boy wcut'lo church, all honor to
him in that far-away; place, and "among
ouch men. His companions had their drive,
but. the . boy gained tlieir confidence and
won their respect by his manly avowal of
cacred obligations. Already" sucaess is
smiling upon the young rami.

OSUEll BEHI8TIK6 UNTIL SHOT DJWS.
'. It will bo remembered - by our readers
thai Dennis Arnold, colored, was arretted
sometime ago, and confioed in the- jail ul
this place, charged with the shooting of a
woman aud borne men at. Roper, and that
he made his escape on June 'Jlh, together
With one Gaylord. ,
11 seems that after' making their, cccapc
lhey parted, Gnylord going bouth and tut
negro going to Chowan count'.
On Sunday last officer Warren Cahoon,
of Roper,' learned that Arnold was in that
community, so he went to. work to re-capture
him." Sunday uigLt after dark Mr.
Oahoon with a posse went to tho house
wher6 Arnold had lived, and secreting
themselves in the fuild from which position
they could watch the house, also the path
leading to it, they waited for Arnold to
appear. About 10 o'clock he was seen
mnking his 'way to the bouse. .Officer
Cahoon halted liiut, but, instead of stopping
he began to run and fire his "pistol, Beeing
that L13 escape was sure unless stopped by
being shot, one of the party fed, and
Arnold fell with a load of xmull shot in
his body and arm, after which be was taken
and brought to Plymouth jail, und Dr.
Cox summoned, who oitrafcUd about fifty
of the shot. . ,
. On beiuj interviewed by a Beaco& re-.
porter, the prisoner stated that when, Mr.
Cahoon called to him to halt that he was
fired upon ' before ho could .turn around,
but the officer state3 that the prisoner wim
trying to make his escape, which must be
iruc, as he was wounded in the back, and
roui the nature of the wounds we should
jutlge that there was some distance between
tbe priRouer and the. man who did the
snooting.
Deputy Sheriff Fagan took the prisouer
to Widiiiinston jail on Tuesday for safe
keeping, . , ' ,
