The game of base ball on Wednes

We have heard of boneles3 cod an

Mr. Bedal, not the au'.hor o
Bloonisburg's celebrated Golden ined

Persia, is now a zealous convert to
Christianity ; and, having graduated

he will return as a missionary to
Persia to prove by ocrttlar denionr.tra
tion the superiority of Christianity as
compared with idolatry and the bar
barous practices of heathens.
We can remember a time in the
history of this proud Republic when
what the Governor of North Carolina
said to the Governor ot South Caro
lina was considered of national itn
portance. But in the evolutions of
time the remarks of one Governor to
another, whether praiseworthy r
condemnatory, are as nothing com
pared with what our modern Govern
ors now persume to say to the Presi
dent of the United Stales.
Innovations, like wonders, never
cease in this progressive age. And
now that the wholo earth wears an
electrical belt, whether innovations be
tried or desirable light be discovered
all light worthy of being utilized for
the common good is very soon trans
mined all along the whole electrical
line. To reflect upon the darkness and
inconveniences of the past, as compar
ed with the licht and conveniences of
the present, is, as we can but fancy
the most p easureable pastime of the
aged. Having outlived their use
fulness in the business activities of life
they are thus left entirely to their own
reflections while waiting, only waiting,
for the higher life to come. With mem
ories brightest and clearest upon youth
ful reminiscences, how many pleasing
moments may be passed in making
comparisons of the past with the pre
sent and building upon God's promises
for the future.
Imitation.
Have you ever noticed the airs the
young girl of 10 to 12 gives herself?
Her dresses are cut to fall about half
way between the knee and ankle, or
say to the shoe tops. Yet your little
miss when she crosses the streets on a
muddy day daintly grasps a handful
of her skirts and swings them around
like her older sister, even if they do
not come within a foot of contact
with mud. It is a curious freak of
girlhood to be compared to the boy
stroking the mustash place, years be
fore the cuticle is fuzz covered.
