Tho email palish at Fallowdalc had been for some time without a pastor The members were nearly all farmers, and they did not have much money to bestow upon the support of a clergyman ; yet they were willing to pay for anything tljat could promise them any return of good. In course of time it happened that the llcv. Abraham Surely visited FallowdalOj and as a Sabbaih passed during his so journ, ho held a meeting in the small church. Tho people were pleased with his preaching, and some of them proposed inviting him to remain with them, and take ch?rge of their spiritual welfare. Upon the merits of this proposition there was a loug discussion. Parson Suroly had sig niQcd his willingness to take a permanent residence at Fallowdalo, but tho member the parish could npt ao readily agree to hire him. "I don't sec tho use of hiring a parson," said Mr, Sharp, an old farmer of the place, "lip cm rlrt n; nn rrnnd 11L cau "u us uu h" A parson can't !.. ... . ..!,:,. 'i 1V..11I litv UUj bli Iq. To tbjs it was answered that stated re ligious meetings would be of great benefit to some of tho younger people, and also a source of good to all. " I o't know about that. I've heard tell of a parson that could pray for rain, and have it come at any time. Now, if wc could hit upon such a parson as that, I would go in for hiring him." This opened a now idea to tho unsophis catcd minds of Fallowdalc. Tho farmers often suffered from loug droughts, and af tor arguig a whilo longer, they agreed to hiro Parson Surely, on condition that he should givs thorn rain whenever they wish .od fcr it, and on the ether band, that ho would also givo them fair weather when required. I?cacons Smith and Townsend woro deputized to mako this arrangement known to tho parson, and tho people re mained Jn tho church while tho messengers went upon their errand. "When tho doacgns returned Jlr. Surely accompanied them. Ho smiled as ho en tered tho church, and with a bow hp sa- . . s ,1 -! .1, ...,. 1 i 1 luted tho pcoplo tuero assembled. " Well, my frieuds," ho said, as ho as conded tho platforo jn front of the desk, " I have hoard y.oujf request to mo, and btrango as it may appear, I havo como to accept your proposal, but do it only ou ono condition, and that is, that your ro nuost for a chango of weather must bo . I MllllJIIIIIVua. I This nnnearf-d Tm.nohlg. every member of the parish had a deep in terest in the farming business, and erelong it was arranged that Mr. Surely should give tho people rain when they wanted it. "When Mr. Surely returned to his lodg ings his wifo was utterly astounded on learning tho nature of tho contract her husband had entered in.to ; but tho pastor smiled and bade her wait for tho result. But you know you canuot make it rain," persisted Mrs. Surely; " and you know, too, that tho farmers here will bo wanting rain when there is none for them You will he disgraced." " I will learn tV,ciq a lesson," returned iho pastor. " Ay, that you cannot bo as good as ypur word, qnd when you have learned it to them, they will turn you off.'' " Wc shall sec," was Mr. Surcly's reply, and he took up a book he had commenced reading. This was a signal for the wife to desist from further conversation on tho subject, and she obeyed. Timo flew on, and the days of midsum mer were at hand. For three weeks it had not rained, and the young corn was begin ning to curl up beneath the effects of the drouth. In this extremity the people be thought themselves of tho promise of their pastor, and hastened to him. " Como," said Sharp, whoso hilly farm was suffering severely, "wc want rain. You remember your promise." "Certainly," returned Mr. Surely. !'lf you will call for a meeting of the parish, I will be with them this evening." "With this the applicants were perfectly satisfied, and forthwith tlicy hasteucd to call the flock together. " Now you'll see the hour of your dis grace," said Mrs. Surely, after the visitors had gone, "Oih 1 am so sorry you ever undertook to deceive them so." " I did uot deceive them." " Yes, you surely did." M We shall ,-ec." " So we shall sc," added the lady. The hour of the evening came round, and Panou Surely met his people at the Church. 'J'f.ey were all there, some anx ious, the remainder curious. Now, my friends," said the pastor, ri.ing upon the platform, "I have come to hoar your request. What is it ?" " Wc want rain," bluntly fpoko farmer Sharp, "and you know you promised to give it to us," " Ay rain rain," repeated half a dczen voices. ,( Very well. Now, when do ycu want to havo it '" Twilight. Iet it rain all night long," said Sharp, to which several ofhers imme diately assented. "No, no, not to-uight," cried doaoon Smith. I have six or seven ton of well made hay in the field, and I would not have it wet for anything," " So have I hay out, ' added Mr. Peck 'Wo won't have rain to-night." " Then let it be to-morrow." ' It will take me all day to morrow to get my hay in,"' said Smith. Thus the objections came up for tho two succeeding days, and at length, by way of compromise, Mr. Sharp proposed that they should havo rain in just four days. " For," said he, "by that timo all tho hay which is now cut can bo got in, and wc need uot cut any " " Stop, stop," muttered Mrs. Sharp, pulling her worthy husband by the sleeve. "That is tho day wo havo set to go to Suowhill. It mustn't rain then." Th'n was law for Mr. Sharp, so ho prp- posed that tho nun should cqmo n ono T?cek, and then sat down. But this would not do. "If we caij't have rain before then, we'd bettor not havo it at all," said they. Iu short, tho meeting resulted in just no conclusion at all,for the good peoplo found it utterly inipossiblo to agrco upon a .timo when it shall rain. "Until you can mako up your iniads on this point' said tho pastor as ho was about leaving tho church, "wo mutt all trust iu tho Lord." And after this the pcoplo fol lowed him from tho ohurch. Beth Deacou Smith and Mr. Peck got .their hay safely in, but on tho very day Mr. Sharp was to havo stavtcd for Snow hill it began to rain in Hood earnest. Mr. Sharp lost his visit, but ho met his disap pointment with a good graco, for hi crops ' smiled at tho rain. j JJro another month had passed by, an other meeting was called for a petition for rain, but with tho samo result as before ' Many of tho peoplo had their inuok to dig aud rain would prevent them. Some want ed it immediately some in ono. somo in parishioners wautod to put it off longer So Mr. Surely had. no occasion to call for rain. j One year rolled by, and up to that time the people of Fallowdalc had never oneo been able to agree upon the exact kind of weather they would have, and tho result was that they began to open their eyes to ' the fact that this world would bo a strange place if its inhabitants should govern it. Ou tho last Sabbath in the first year of Mr. Surcly's settlement at Fallowdale , he offered to break up his connection with the parish, but tho pcoplo would not listen to it. They had become attached to him and hoy wished him to stay. "But I can no longer rest under our former contract with regard to the weath er," said the pastor. 'Nor do y,'u wish you to," returned Sharp. "Only preach to us, and teach us I and our children how to live, and help us to bo social, contented and happy." "Aud," added tho pastor, while a tear stood in his eye, as ho looked for an in stant into the face of his now happy wifo "all this above our proper spheres wc wll leavo with God, for He doelh all well." things PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.

Nor so BAD. The ladies havo adopted a red, whito aud blue hoop, which is called tho war-hoop, - - - - ms. Jf Even if your heart is in a cause, it doesn't follow that you should "put your f?ot in it." asrThis is a fast generation, but our aucestors certainly got ahead of us iu tho Scenes in South Carolina. A correspondent of tho Grcenshurg (Westmoreland co., Pa.) Republican, wri ting from Port Iloyal, South Carolina, gives tho following interesting description of what he has seen in that direction: "Matters move finely with us ; there is very little sickness among the men, and all go cheerfully to hard work, and they havo enough cf it to do. ; for between pick et duly and tho work on the fortifications, which wo arc extending, aud throwing back upon the main land, no ono is al lowed to bo idle. Being in the enemy's country, whero a powerful blow will doubtless soon bo struck, to try to repos sess their lost stronghold, the greatest vig ilance must bo observed, requiring over 2000 men daily on that duty alon'o. In addition to that number, wc have nearly as many every day, not excepting Sunday, working on' the fortifications. The island wc occupy is one of a cluster which has long been celebrated for the quantity cf the cotton raised thereon, de manding, I believe, 50 per cent, higher than any other cotton grown. The island is about 17 miles in length, aud perhaps eight or ten miles wi(c. The North point, where the largest fort is located, is called Hilton Head; about one mils back from tho fort our brigade is located. On Sunday last, I made an excursion to the South point, the full length of tho is land, and found the country a most beau tiful one. 'J here aro quite a number of plantations all nicely laid out in large fields, prolifically bearing their particular crops. Uotton ueuis seem to predominate, but corn is also abundant and of excellent ... quality largo cars, well filled, aud of the. white variety grain that is I saw nono of the yellow raised in Pennsylvania. Fruit also has been very abundant, but tho season having passed, it is not now very plenty, excepting which han- thick and luscious from thoir trees unou the road side, and seem to -rownro-' l . o l I lifically without receiving any attention j from man. I notice that tho peach-trees arc every whore in their second blossnm. The houses generally arcjnet built in as good taste as those of the farmers of Pcnn sylvadia, and their barns aro but miscra hie anologies, but their out buildings for t(n,.m, r.rfr.r, ln o.l ... ous. Near each planter's dwelling there aro settlements for negroes' quarters, largo , and comfortable, and in many cases hav iug gardens attached for vcgetabls or flow ers as the tastes of the occupants dictate. The slaves are very numerous, aud aro ce cheerful a body of creatures as I have ever seen. You can go in y.o direction without hearing tho voices, long before you cau seo faces, of dozens of thoin, singing some good old Methodist air, and in a style too, that would astonish any Northerner who has believed all tho stories he has hoard about the slave-driver's cruelty and th,2 unhappy lot of tho slaves. I have seen bipnjnoss in high places and misery among the lowly ; my pro fession has led mc to view scenes in all v tho phases of life, but I never before wit- ncssed a collection of men, women, and childacn that seem to enjoy life so much as do tho negro slaves of that portion of South Carolina now occupied by our ar my. I have mingled freely with them, in order to fully ascertain and understand their condition, and have yet to hear the first ono complain of his master or mis tress. They invarably mention their names with emotion, and in scvornl instan ces, when I questioned them about the different members of thoir master's family, big tears coursed down their tawny checks at tho mention of the names of female head and tho children of tho household. True, they do not, as a general thing, speak well of tho overseers, but I havo yet to hear complaint about any ie else. j In order to got to Bay Point, whero a part of our brigado is stationed, Gen. , Sherintiu luu placed a boat and crew of i"f thirteen bi.ieks at my disposal. I havo questioned them closely, and have beep invariably answered that they loved their homes aud their musters, aud that if their mantel's' families return to their planta tions, they desire to go back also and re sume their occupations. The captures of horaes and cattle havo been immense, uud with proper caro on our part, there would have been sufficient of the latter to have lasted us for six eh wai months at least. As it was, so much destroyed, that wo will oon have to peud upon the Government for all supplies. Our men behaved, tho de- our first days after our lauding, like a well organ ued set of brigands, pillaging every thing and de-.trovini' all thev could n .cvrrv They wore not contont vith breaking open tho houses of the plautcrs, and de stroying the furniture, but oven shot tho, chickons belonging to tho slaves, destroyed their gardens, and in many 93593 pillaging, thoir houses, and taking from them tho, few dollars they had laul up by perform ing extra duty. Gcne.ral Sherman has not beeu idle in ferreting out tho perpe trators, and a oourt mnrttal js in session, now, trying tho offenders. I find upon, inquiry that tho greatest thieves in tho Division arc those that come from tho ho bed of Abolitionism $10 Eastern states. 1 1. .1. 1 To-rday and To-mqrj'qT'. Half the griefs of tho world nip idcaL No matter to w hat rank of life .1 man be longs, unless he posscescs a remarkably, contented quality of mind, he is porpetU" ally annoyed with small sorrows, arising from tho anticipation of evils which, in fact, never come to pass. At tho end of any year, he can IooTj back if he choses, and count his hours by the score, spent iOj this way over ideal misfortunes. And if is exactly tho same thing with our motncnt3 of happinss ; for man never is, but al ways to lie, blest ;" and how very much of our enjoyment is occasioned by the ex pectation of pleasurable events which al ways fail to occur ? As a certain bishop once sajd to a spi of nobjlit', who asked for the loan of a rural villa the reverend gentleman never used : Sir, dpn'ij you, know it is necessary to havo a place- you never go a placo in which you fancy you might be ever happy, if yoti were (hcroj I..-. e. 1 1. ..1 If 1. - inir. irnm ivi inn vmi .'iiikimil vo ursei . ut' -1 J ' cuse ou know 'ou ;vou't bc!" And the bishop in that reuiarU, annqunpeu a grejjij truth ; for delight as well as sorrow, lies iu what i3 never realized. Common sense, fair reader, ought to take a solid hint from this fact.

An 1912 Wau Story. Tho followipg we believe has never seen print. Ogden Hoffman used to tell the story. Hp wa in the great fight between the Constitution and the Gnerreire, and said that as tho British ship came sailing down on them, as thoy heard the sharp orders, when tho guns were run out and tho men could bp seen ready with their match locks, an offi cer came in haste to Isaac Hull and asked for orders to fire. ''Wot yet," was tho quiet response. As they came still near er, and the Brittish ship poured in her fire, the first Licutcnaut of tho Constitution came on the poop and begged permission to re turn the broadside, saying that the raou could not bo restrained much longer. 'Not yet," was the indifferent loply. Still nearer the British ship came, aud the American prisoners, who wcroiu the cook pit of the Gucrriere, afterwards said that they began to believe that their own coun trymen were afraid to measuro peir strength with the enemy, and this thought gavo them moro pain fhan tho wounds, which some of them wore still suffering from. Jn a moment after the Gucrriere rodo gallantly forward, showing her burnished ides ; and as tho swell carried her oloso to tho very muzzle of "Old Irousido,',' Capt. Hull, who was then quite fat, rjad dressed in full tights, bent himself twice to tho deck, and with cvory muscle and veitj throbbing with excitement, shouted out as ho mad another gyration. "Now boys, pour it into them." That broadsido set tled their opponent, aud wheu the smoke cleared away the Commodore's tights wcrs sccu to split from waistband to heel. Tru ly the Commodore had a soul "too big for his breeches." Hoffman used to add that Hull, nothing discouccrtcd.gavo his orders with perfect coolness, and only changed his tights wheu tho British commander's swerd was given up to hiiu.
