The Reflector being a secular I paper does not make a practice of handling the topics that belong to the brethren the religious press, but we expect some our preacher readers will thank us for giving the following which is from the This may seem a heading but there is a sufficient amount to justify a notice it. HOW IS THIS The preacher is called to bold a of many times, and is not as successful as was an- He may labor earnestly and ably and yet to reach the hearts of men and women, and this reason it is taken tor granted as a matter of course, he ought to fail reach the pocket-book of Every honest man knows this is dishonest. The preacher's success and ability ought never to be meas- by the number of additions. He may accomplish more without additions with them. These remarks apply as well to pas- as to holding stipulate with preach induce them to move, take his time, cut off from all other business, go in debt because the brethren have not the ready cash and i when pay time comes, plead hard times and poverty, as if the preach- was independent these more they. This drives the preacher from to with an injured for debt paying, and even the better to-do class of not credit bun for necessaries of life nor loan him money to pay his honest debts. I believe that in cases out ten where the preachers become soured, morose and despondent it can be traced to such unchristian conduct as this. And worse all, if he should mention his he is set down as a and no place wants him for a for we will tell his wrongs. the day of judgment will bring many things to light. Of all the vows that be made, those to our Lord should be j the most binding. David in enumerating the that make us a citizen Zion, says, that to bis own hurt xv It may hurt us dear brethren to do what we promise, but with the Lord it is as as the vow. Ananias Sapphira should be a warning to us. Lord help us to be true. Contracts are sometimes with preachers by what call by the world it is called business To illustrate A preacher is employed for part or all bis time at a stipulation ; but whatever failures, of high water, providential hindrances, sickness of himself or family, he is made to bear all loss and his time is docked, because they do that way in worldly business. This may seem right at first, but upon a investigation it will be seen that there is no clearer violation of law and spirit of love and equity ever among brethren. In the first place the preacher has given up all other pursuits that he may fit himself for that certain work and hence has no other in- come. This must go into the con- Providential ate as much out of tbs power of the preacher as any else. He regrets to be water bound. He is pained that himself or should get sick more than any other could be. If be or his family are sick need aid more than any other time. In reality such conduct is worse than Free Masons, Odd Fellows, or other man institutions will do, and can be accounted for only on the ground of writer labored for a chore h two years that did this. At one time he was water bound, ac an- other be lay himself in bed four months not expected to live. He tried to get them to let him make op time that he might have the money to pay his debts, rather than be docked and bare to when the money. It seems to me the preacher ought to have this last privilege even if be must lose all time. I was not a little prised not long since to see name of one of oar strongest men advocating this practice, lie had not considered. And new for feat some one would j this part was penned because I bad feeling in the matter, I will say not so, for love those brethren will labor them, and they love me, but this is a wrong, and is getting i more common. There are not many preachers that like to say these things for fear some one will their motives but it is generally admitted that it. makes no difference as I am not likely to go very far home wax. I would call to other evil before closing this Churches stipulate with the for his entire time. There is lull in the home work. They decide to send to place to labor whatever proceeds in from that labor they put it the treasury and they pay out of the proceeds. IT there IS; anything over they keep it, if any- thing under it. This at first seems right enough, but it must be remembered that the church is obligations to help the weak places and I he destitute, hence should support die preacher while be labors such a place. The preacher to employed as a I have labored for two churches tins way and have brought in twice of stipulation each time. This is a speculation the preacher. such cases they send him to the weak, where he will get but little, but generally him out to the strong he can bring in the proceeds. Lord help us in our wrongs.

The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height, hence a wave five feet high will extend over seventy-five feet of water. The force of the sea dashing on Bell Rock is said to be seventeen tons for each square rod. Evaporation is a wonderful power in drawing the water from the sea. Every year a layer the entire sea, fourteen feet thick, is taken up into the clouds. The winds bear their burdens into the land, and the water comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back at last through rivers. The depth of the presents an in- problem.

The bar is made fast to the line and a sling holds the shot on. When the bar, which ex- tends below ball, touches the earth, unhooks and shot slides off.

Slew, I New York Herald. Scarcely a day passes without its newspaper story of some young man who met a man so interesting that she thought she couldn't live without him, so she married in haste and afterward teamed that he was an ex convict or a brute or ready a wife or two from whom he had separated the formal- of a legal divorce. In such cases the blame is laid up- on the man, who generally deserves more abuse than he gets. But, girls, look at matter seriously a few minutes see if trouble might have been avoided if you had tot been in too much of a hurry. Marriage means partnership for life; decrees of divorce- are merely exceptions that prove the rule. Would any man enter into a business partnership with as little knowledge of the other party as you seem with Well, unless he were a sweet souled lunatic. Talk is cheap, girls; it can be made to order as fast as the tongue can run, especially when there is a pretty face to inspire it and two cars willing to receive it.

The native grass supply being and the climate mild makes that section of North Carolina an open field for profitable investment in stock raising.

When a railroad company, says the Philadelphia Record, handles as many million tons of coal annually as the Reading does, the question of weighing it becomes a matter of some importance. Skill and long have solved the problem, how- ever, and the bulk of the vast coal tonnage of the leading coal carrying road in the country is weighed on four scales, then are not crowded. The weight the empty car is marked in chalk on the outside. As the car approaches, a clerk takes number of the ear and its weight, the weigher calls out too gross weight and the difference is the weight of the coal. The ears run as fast as ten miles an hour across the scale, and it is very seldom that one has to be stopped and brought back for re- although that is done when the weigher is at all uncertain about is figures. The men at the scales can ally tell within a hundred pounds of what a car contains. As soon as they see the class of car coming, they know the number of tons it contains, and have the scale so prepared that only the hundred weights need be adjusted while the car is moving over it, Expert officials of the com- can tell at a glance what each class of cars should contain, and if, in looking over the weight sheet, any car appears too heavy or too light, it is brought back and re weighed. word to the wise is but it is not always wise to say that word to one who is suffering the tor- a headache.

They have issued a circular requesting that all pickers refuse to pick cotton for any one for less than one per hundred pounds. The strike was ordered to go into operation on last Saturday the 12th. Col. Humphrey is at the head of this Alliance. He has white skin and sometimes passes for a white man. He evidently suggested this to the is responsible for the whole He has been sneaking around heretofore pretending that he could unite the colored Alli- on all important issues of the white Alliance. What he may say hereafter will have but little weight with this Alliance. Those who will suffer most, if this strike is successful, are the bone and sinew of the white Alliance. The reason given for this strike is that there had been an to re- duce wages for cotton picking to prices. This is all bosh. A larger per cent, of the value of cotton will be paid for picking this year than since the war. We are glad to see that dent Butler says that this strike is to be confined to the States of Texas and South Carolina- He says that the colored Alliance is not strong enough in this State to attempt anything of the kind. He furthermore says that should it reach this State the white Alli- would take steps at once to meet it and would be able to it successfully. We are glad to see such utterances from the President of the State Alliance. It shows that the Alliance in this State does not propose to any such proceedings under whatever name they may come.

Ernest Rhys in Magazine. Deaths In Hotels. Even an ordinary death in a hotel causes a landlord great distress, while a suicide almost drives him frantic. you said a hotel clerk, consequences follow a suicide In the first place, the event is graphed all over the land, and every traveling man sees it. Nothing on earth would ever induce one of the traveling fraternity to lodge in that particular room. So the first thing to be done is to get rid of the old number of that guest dumber. The number is disposed of, never to return, and a new number is placed on the door. surroundings must be entirely changed. New paper must be put upon the wall, new carpet upon the floor, new furniture, new bedding, and then the domestics are instructed never to mention the circumstance of the death to any guest.

A man had tired three bullets into his abdomen with in- tent of suicide. Nasty wounds they were too. But Dr. Blank located the ballets and got them oat, and then sewed up the intestines in several places, making a splendid Job of it. several days the man did finely, and Just the time you would said he was out of danger be and died, but from what the only knows, for in the autopsy we f all his organs healthy, and as for the wounds, they were almost entirely he; led. was no inflammation about the stitches save in one place, and that was so small and slight that it was scarcely worth mentioning. that is the way with man.

The Largest Catch. Telling fish stories over about the court house has suggested the great catch made by at Canton many years ago. The time and the amount caught were discussed consider- ably, but no definite conclusion was reached until a few days ago Mr. Miller wrote to Frank for The catch was made in March, 1868, near Canton. With one large feet penned the fish in a chute and caught them out with smaller seines.
