To this blessed period the proph et refers feTthe text In that day,' shall all men be so devoted to the service of God, and so zealously intent on doing His will that the present distinctions between holy and . profane shall be abolished and all avocations and pi ures shall be as pure and sacred 'and ceptable to God as our best 'acts of re ligious worship now are. The' motto. "Holiness onto the Lord. 'which for merly was inscribed only; npon r the sacred mitre of the High FriesW eball be written on every bank, countings room, factory, shop. and place of amose- ment in ; the' world upon all; classes and ranks of men upon all the days of the week, because a loyal regard to God and holiness ; and virtue, and charity shall thus characterize all pursuits and hallow all, even the commonest con cerns ot everyday life. . ' ; . Mr Woods then undertook to point out in detail a few of the more Import ant changes certain to occur ln; the so cial and religions affairs of men as the result of this universal' prevalence of holiness, virtue and love. The - first notable result mentioned was, that all of the various callings and avocations of men whereby money is made, would be so planned and conducted as to be as the most devout acta of religious wor ship. Holiness unto the -Lord would then be Inscribed upon every thins; con nected with getting gain indicative of the integrity, unselfishness and modesty then to rharacterize business of every kind. Under this bead he showed for one thing that men would not have any disreputable callings or trades but only such as were honorable and pure and suited to benefit and bless and ennoble all in any way connected therewith. For another thicg the callings and trades and trades and professions that are honorable,' would all be pursued and conducted only in the use of holy means. All those practices and devices which now disgrace honorable callings would disappear and be condemned as mean and hateful and unworthy. For instance, he referred to -the prevalent customs of most business msn jail over I the world to-day in respect to advertis ing their wares and commodities for ale. He noted the fact, which no well informed man can deny, that the great majority of the advertisements we now see in newspspers all over the world are fall of falsehood and immodest boasting." This was characterized as one of the corrupt and corrupting fea tures of modern civilization which is largely facilitated by the printing press es of the world. The idea of putting into newspapers only such assertions about one's business, stock in trade, dec, as could be sworn to as true, and only such aa were modest and respectful and unselfish seems never to enter the beads of the majority of advertisers. What would be esteemed barefaced ; lying or gross brsgging in a parlor among a few friends is counted as smartness and business enterprise In the advertising columns of the papers. ' lie called special attention to we xact that the religions papers were equally ith secular papers guilty of allowing advertisers' to say in their columns whsti the editors and proprietors , well knew was utterly false or unseemly in regard to the various articles advertised for sale. You can hardly pick op a reli gious paper even without having flaunt ed in your face some great brazen-faced lie about some patent medicine war ranted to cure everything. These things would not be so bad if all the readers of the papers were well-informed and discriminating. Many of you know that an advertisement, as a rule, is net to be trusted as a truthful representa tion of matters, : but many i ignorant people will spend their money and give their confidence to sham enterprises, or commodities simply because they rely npon the- pious editor of , the! paper in which they are puffed. - "In that day" we may count upon it. that the news' papers, both secular; and : religious: will contain no misleading advertisements, because upon every printing press and on every editorial desk shall be written n letters large and plain, "Holiness unto the Lord."

The Oseeolsa started bnt splendidly, making four runs the first inning, two the sec ond and 3 four the fourth.1 The Mc Smiths .made half of all their runs on the first Inning. Some bad playing was done by the latter club almost at the start and ; was kept 1 up more or less throughout the game, but it was not all bad.; Broekenborough, on the first base did some splendid work. Garrett In the field and as pitcher did some fine playing, one , of bis fly catches being particularly well done. Tom Stewart, second base also played well. The Os- eeolas played finely, even surprisingly well, and not a man blundered. Peele's catching behind the bat was something that got away with the McSmith boys. The game was played on the profes sional order and the baseball of to-day is quite a different thing to what It used to be, most of the work now depend ing on the catcher, whose eye must be sharp and his aim well trained.? The game lasted one hour and thirty-eight minutes. ' Matters now stand even be tween these two dabs, but the third and decisive game is soon to be 'played.

This piece of vandalism was wrought by the - negro out of " simple spite. ..About a week ago he was ar rested by the police for some violation of the laws and was duly fined by the mayor. - Not being able to pay the fine, Forney was put to work breaking rocks for the: streets. He applied ) to Mr Cruse for money to pay his fine, hot Mr Cruse declined giving it to him, and the negro worked until his fine was paid. gaining .his liberty Saturday.! That night he went to Mr Cruses stables and with a sharp knife cut to pieces a sad die and six sets of harnesses a double set, new and fine. One set of harness destroyed belonged to the mail wagon. After doing this diabolical work, the negro went home to his wife and in the presence of two i witnesses remarked that he had just "played b 1 down to old Cruse's stable." Officer Geo Har rington had Forney arrested and locked up by 12 o'clock Saturday night. The negro was yesterday arraigned before the mayor, who put him under a bond of 8100 for his appearance for trial by the : Inferior court; Forney could not give bail and was locked up. The har ness were almost completely ! rained and it win cost probably s)100 to repair the damagos. - - ' r at. nary's sckool. i zmz The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement in this morning's paper of this well known institution of learning. This school was first opened in 1842, and its doors have never since been closed, and now ; a new; college building is to take the place of the old. Mr. Samuel Sloan, the distinguished architect ef Philadelphia, who ; has de signed some of the finest public build ings in the country, has completed the plan for the new building. It is to be of gothfc design, two stories in height. The lower floor will be divided into class rooms for the preparatory depart ments and a spacious calisthenle room. The day school has outgrown its present accommodations, being larger now than at any time since the war. It Is intend ed to give the little ones large sunny rooms, looking southeast and south west, with all the modern conveniences for thorough work. .The upper story of the building will contain, besides other rooms, a- very beautiful studio. Its dimensions will be sixty-four by twenty six feet. The ceiling will be open, and ( finished in oiled woods. By means of j four skylights and aide windows, fur nished with panel shutters, the light will be perfectly regulated for all pur poses of art. They will be so arranged that the whole can be converted into a gallery not surpassed , by any in the South. " The present teacher of art; who has achieved an enviable reputation during the two years she has been at St. Mary's, will remain In charge of the department. Its growth 'during the past year has made the new studio a necessity. Ground Is to be broken at once, and the whole building will be in thorough working order before cold weather. .;' " ;1";; ;" ;J CHABLOTTS, COLXrnTBXl AMD AUGUSTA.
