THE PRAYER IN In Thatchers Military Journal. date of December, 1777, is found a note containing the prayer in made by tho Rev. Jacob a gentleman of great eloquence. Here it historical curiosity O Lord, our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings and Lord of lords, who dost from throne behold all the dwellers of the earth, and with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the kingdoms, empires and governments, look down in mercy we beseech Thee on the American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the and themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee. To Thee they have pealed for the righteousness of their cause ; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance support which Thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore. Father, under Thy care. Give wisdom in council and valor in the field. Defeat the malicious of bur adversaries ; con- them of the unrighteousness of their course, and if they still persist in sanguinary purposes, oh let the voice of Thine own ring justice, sounding their hearts, constrain them to drop weapons of war from their hands in the day of battle. Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, an direct the councils of this hon- y. them to settle on the and surest foundations, that the scenes of blood may be speedily closed, and harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish among Thy people.

Edmundson, of John county, who was here day, was asked by the Chronicle, How are and same as usual. Always of work to do and plenty of bread and meat to eat. Pure hard down laziness is the cause of hard times. I say without the fear of contradiction that the average la- borer does not work four full faith- months in the year- If I have the choice of the average laborer in this country or a monkey as to working when I am away from home, I will take the He will not destroy anything. When the war ended there were scraps of property left, and the owners of that property have hired irresponsible labor, gone to town, smoked cigars; idle labor at home and fast living in has ruined them. More any one thing that has contributed to the is idleness. I am going to have a good crop year this year- The reason is, I have cleaned out my ditches, made manure, hauled off my ditch banks, cleared op my hedge-rows, hired but little labor and all I ask to make a good crop is health. A Dog Saves a Child's Basic I Advance. Another illustration of canine fidelity and intelligence was given here a few days ago. The little three-year old daughter of Allen Harris, who near the was playing in a room when dress caught on fire. Her parents were some distance from the house did not hear the child's screams, but the dog did, and know- that something was with his friend, he ran to where they were standing, barked several times and returned to the house. By this time the girl's clothes were in a blaze, while help had not yet arrived. The dog then, after pushing the child over, grabbed the burning clothes with his teeth, and before the flames had reached the face body, he had torn every particle of clothing from the child and saved its life. The little girl es- caped with a very slight burn and a big scare- Harris would not trade his dog for the best horse in the county. They Don't Want Mr. Pritchard. Charlotte Chronicle. A prominent Republican of this was asked who the cans would likely nominate for Governor. He said that the cations pointed toward Pritchard for a while, but he is out of the race now, for it bad been learned that the colored man would not vote for him, and the could not afford to put up a man that the would not support. He said that he would not be surprised if Judge W. P. Bynum, of this was and he believed he would make a good race. The North Carolina are not going to follow any man into the Third party. Doubtless some will do it, but the moment any man tries to carry them into the Third party that minute the Alliance is torn into two warring factions.

They Have Gone to Georgia. Raleigh Chronicle. Weathers, the notorious woman of whose desperate infatuation for Dr. J. L. Stone, led to the prisoning of her father, has again fled with her par- amour. The woman is fine look- and Stone is equally infatuated with her. The details of the pois of old Mr. Weathers, of tho desertion by Dr. Stone of his wife and thirteen children, have been published. He fled with the Weathers woman and months ago it was discovered that they were living in Pitt Warrants were issued, and they departed, but boldly returned to Chatham. The was arrest- ed, but strange to say the Dr. was not, though it is said the sheriff made diligent efforts to get him. The woman last week pleaded guilty to the charge her, of living unlawfully with Dr. Stone, and a motion for judgment was continued until the next term of court She was allowed to give her personal recognizance for her appearance. Now comes the last sensation. Dr. Stone, whose own son had taken out a warrant and engaged counsel to prosecute him should he be cap. lured, it appear returned to Pitt He arranged with a friend in that county to go to Georgia with the woman. Dr. Stone it is said joined them there. This is probably the last of the Stone-Weathers affair, which has shown how reckless of life or hon- or some people are.

Furnace The best Invention ever made for CUBING TOBACCO. ARTILLERY SHOTS. Monroe, Va., March 5th, 1892- Owing to the terrible weather but little work has been tit Post for the past two weeks. Although the weather is disagree- able many of the are out ill the evening attending the places of entertainment dread not the wind and rain, nor would they hesitate to face the storm of the enemy's lets, for braver men cannot be found than those composing the Artillery school. Especially would we mention those composing Bat- tery H, 4th Artillery. A good of them represent the best lies in this country as one can readily perceive by their gentle- manly deportment. Doubtless this is surprising to some of the low minded aristocrats of our country who believe pretend to that the word does not apply to soldiers, and no one will enlist in the service but a convict. How absurd How dis- gusting true that there are bad men in the army. Where will you find a town or where this bad element does not exist In every instance where they are found they are cast by in- law. But men composing the army are looked upon by that set we have mentioned in a different light. They see misdeeds of that bad element in the army and and are ever ready to condemn the whole army. I repeat how ab- Why should this unchristian feeling exist Were war declared how quickly these people would pray for protection at the hand of the men they now so readily con- and despise. May nothing ever occur to cause such a terrible humiliation on their part. Private Whitehurst of Battery H. who has been on furlough, visiting relatives and friends in Tarboro, N.

Follow His Example. Mr. Charles Cobb, Farmville, had a chat with us other day- while renewing his subscription to the Reflector. He said that while some the farmers of his section would reduce their cotton acreage this upon the whole there would be a large crop of it. For his part he was not going to waste much of his time on crops that no money could be made in cultivating, therefore would have very little cotton. He now has every bale of his last years cotton crop on hand, having sold enough peanuts, grain, poultry, eggs potatoes, and such products as these to supply what money be has been in need of, while hoof course had his smokehouse home.

Colonel Ingersoll declares at this late day that Christianity teaches the doctrine of Total Depravity. Again we find the colonel at his old tricks. He sets up a man of straw that he may knock him down for the of the crowd. He is again hunting for imaginary gain. A FIRE ii r In a wild district of the south two men went out on a certain night to hunt deer in what is known as a two men, with their guns, and a boy i to hold the light. Suddenly one of the hunters saw the gleam of the eye of his deer in the distance in the forest. The crack of his rifle announced to his friends that they had found game. deer shone up he said in a self satisfied tone as he loaded gun. They in the direction of the prize, but in astonishment they saw an- other blue light appear in another Again he fired, again the light went out Again they sought for their deer and found it not. said the hunter, I've only seen one eye each they have been standing to replied his friend. Again crash went the rifle, down went the eye. They rushed to secure their game, and the doer was nowhere to be found. They exchanged guns, and when the eye of lie deer again gleamed by the light of the torch, he tried his mark- the fourth time. Bat he I no game. Then the other tried a shot. The eye dropped. They went to find the game; found it not. But they heard behind them the boy in great glee laughing over something. They asked hi a what was the He Five miles away You have baa i shorting at the light- Their purely imaginary.

He sets up this imaginary object and proceeds to de- it. When he makes such an as- ho again proclaims the fact that he has not been to church lately. In fact, judging from this statement, he has not been to church in about fifty years, and what is worse, the last time he was at church, fifty years ago, the probability is that he did not understand what he heard. The doctrine of Total Depravity is one that Christianity is in no sense for. It is a centuries old, but is none the less a slander. It is a slander of Almighty God, a upon Christ and his church. My own idea is that it originated with the devil. I do not charge the colonel with orig- this assertion. I do charge him with circulating a malicious slander. It seems to me that there came a time in the history of the forces of evil below when his Satanic majesty conceived n brilliant plan of campaign. He said, if I can only convince tho world that Christianity means the abrogation of manhood; if I can only produce the that to be a Christian moans to be less a man, and that the man who enters the Christian life must resign all that is and good and worth having in this world, then I will in trapping thousands where one would fall otherwise. The devil should certainly build a monument to the man who first taught this doctrine; for it is calculated to deceive the very elect. It has played wild havoc with the church in tho past. Thank God are reaching the when such a slander no longer has force over the minds of the followers of Christ. They are learning now what Christ really taught. Nobody believes now within organic, so called orthodox circles in such a doctrine. Whenever you hear an old man get up and confess that he is the greatest sinner in tho world, and that he is altogether wicked and altogether evil, he is simply repeat- a traditional theology which is not a part of his life, for if a brother on tho other side the church should get up in reply and agree with him, and declare that he was the biggest scoundrel in the church, there certainly would a fight. This is simply the chatter of tradition. It has no part in real Christian life. OF ROYAL LINEAGE. So far from Christianity teaching that the race is by nature de- and that man is totally depraved, Jesus Christ taught the very opposite, namely, that Christianity is intrinsically divine. sin intrinsic;. inhuman and natural. Open the book of Christianity and see if this is not true. Yon will it shad- Owed forth ill the Old Testament before the founder of Christianity came upon the scene. The Old Testament teaches in the very chapter, in the first lesson God taught the infant class of the human race, t hat God made man in his own image. He did not man in the image of the but in man God reproduced himself. Again, the Psalm- tells us that he made him a lower than the And now the later translation it, little lower than echoing first great lesson taught in Quote When the prophets of old looked out upon a sinning, erring people their cry set forth this divine truth. Tho of their hearts was ever the cry of the of tears-. thou backsliding Israel. Only come back. I will not chide; I will for- give; I will not keep This peal recognized element to which it appealed. So Christ taught, and did his apostles teach. the Now Testament and yon find it upon almost every page. teaches the intrinsic of in his doctrine of child salvation. He teaches it with an emphasis that marks the thought in his ministry. His disciples had driven the children away from the great master. Christ turns upon them with anger. The Word says that was moved with but the Greek declares that he was angry. This word signifying anger is used only once to describe the emotions that swept the heart of Christ, and this was the Jesus turned to his shortsighted disciples with those immortal words never to be forgotten, the little children to unto me; forbid them not. for of such is the kingdom of He distinctly declared that heaven is peopled with hosts of little children. He distinctly declared that every child is an incarnation of the breath of God.

But the great Galilean Teacher went from home to home, mingled with the poor and the outcast, and one of the which they brought against him was that he was the friend of publicans ind sinners. He loved man as man. He ministered to man as man, teaching that man as man is worthy. The howling mob brings before the master a trembling woman taken in sin. They clamor for her life. They expect now to see this teacher of law visit upon the offender the of violated law. But could see through the exterior, through out- ward clamor.

An itinerant minister in the south some years ago was passing through a prison pen one day. It was crowded with prisoners, many among them, showing every phase of ignorance and brutality. One gigantic fellow crouched alone in a corner, his feet chained to a ball. There was the mark of an unhealed wound on his face where he had been shot while trying to escape. The sight of the dumb, gaunt figure touched the visitor's sympathies. long has he to he asked the keeper. he anybody outside to look after old master or wife or should I know Nobody but yon has ever noticed him all the time he has been I speak to but only for a The minister hesitated.

The clergyman turned sorrowfully away. The prisoner crawled after him, life, that he might serve man. He wen. about doing good. He stood at the gate and healed the sick. He fed tho hungry.

AT the Last summer a man fell dead on avenue. There was no money his chain, catching his band held it in his own while he could. Tears were in the clergyman's eyes. Fourteen years passed. The convict was sent with gangs of his fellows from place to place to work in the mines or on the roads of the state. The old min- coming back to the south, went down one day into a mine, and among the workmen saw a gigantic fig- , bent with hardship and with age. is he asked the keeper, the huge again attracting his at- lifer, and he's a steady follow, the j best of the Just then the looked His figure straightened, for he had tho clergyman.

His friends in many cases knew about it in advance, for his birthday has been an anniversary which they have always honored. Between those aware of the anniversary the competition to make the good man's drawing room and study fragrant with ferns and flowers was in- tense. The rooms were a bower of beauty. The delicate gifts were ex pressed in all forms which art or could suggest or dense. They made a glorious showing in themselves. They delighted the heart of the his kindred and friends. Among those who it was known would be not the least pleased was a faithful servant, knitted by interest, association and affection with the life of the household by years of tender and trusting association. It occurred to one of the women of the family to bring this devoted domes tic up to the drawing room and let her contemplate and admire the evidences of loving remembrance in which the good man was held. This was done. The servant reveled in the examination of the gifts, expressed her surprise at their quantity, her appreciation of their and her amazement at the and diversity of the forms they Her sense of the loveliness of the spectacle and of tho merit in the doctor which elicited the tokens was expressed in the following glowing words to Mrs. Cuyler, tell you. ma'am, the doctor couldn't have had more flowers sent to him if he was Tribute, cation, as well as affection and surprise, certainly reached their climax in these Eagle. A Title, I cannot imagine anything than the story of B iron arriving in this v i twenty-sis full of . u to marry a rich and attractive widow, and his all seized for debt, then presenting himself at the beautiful widow's house with nothing to wear but an old steamer suit, and with a monkey, a parrot and a bit of cheese in his hand. There seems to be an that the does not pay his debts because of his eccentricity. It has been that he has an in- come of 5,000.000 francs a year. This statement is scarcely consistent with the baron's in connection with the seizure of his clothes, and the whole farce calls to mind the blindness which American women display whenever a foreign title is in view. Baron is eccentric to the point of violence, and he is likely to occupy a prominent place in the papers during his stay here. An American who did the things that the baron does would have rather hard going in this cast iron and commonplace age of Hall in Brooklyn Eagle. A i Mom I I At Wilson Ar Ar v i i w ION B.

On the 25th of last month a strange scene was witnessed in the police j in Brooklyn. A criminal was brought for sentence. He bad been convicted j a few days before of breaking into a house and stealing property. He had i previously served a term in prison. The sentence it was expected would be the full penalty of the law. His attorney, however, appeared before the justice and aid that a lady who was then in court had long loved this prisoner in of his misconduct and wag willing to mar- him. She was wealthy, and believed that had enough influence over the man to reform him, as she could place him in circumstances of comfort where he would not be tempted by poverty to Steal. It was a remarkable request when the justice was convinced of her sincerity and truth he pointed out to the prison what a sacrifice the girl pro- posed to make on behalf and asked Um what he would do. The prisoner was overcome with gratitude and if released, to awry the girl and lead an hornet life. The justice de- that the end of the law was bat the object of the state was to reformation for criminal. He suspended sentence. It was just this sacrifice which Christ made for man.

Belgium really owes her national to the good offices of who helped to separate her from land in and has stood between her and annexation to France ever since.
