Very Appropriate to the Season.
There never were a better people
tliuvn the people of South Carolina.
They have had bitter enemies and they
fiave been occasionally much maligned,
bat when it comes to tho highest grace
of all the grnce of loving kiudness,
they cannot be beaten this Bide of hea
ven. Pardon my partiality, for 1 real
ly think so.
Now, all this sweet talk has a pur
pose,?it is a prelude to a suggestion to
I ?be people of this generous State to
set their generous hearts to a task be
fore tbe summer vacation begins. And
it is about to begin just now.
Have you thought of your little or
phan brothers and sisters? There are
two hundred of them iu the Presby
terian Orphanage at Clinton (Thorn
'we\L); there are two hundred more in
the. Baptist Orphanage at Greenwood,
fConnio Maxwell); there are nearly
that many at the Methodist Orphanage
(Epworth) at Columbia.
T kuow something of the condition of
these denominational Homes, for 1
have a .standing welcome at all of
them. ?ud who ought to know them
better than I? I know that at this sea
#ton of the year they are always sorely
pressed for iho necessaries of life, and
I tfiiia little love letter to my bietbrenof
'the ?diff?rent denominations is to sug
.. sesttfciU each on?of you-send at once,
your check, or a barrel of flour, or rice
or molasses or even a sack of grits to
the Orphanage you love best. June
.and July are tho best times to send
"yiittf mow. Everybody with a heart
(Might wfeel -it a privilege to do it.
-At any of these homes, a nickle will
Ctfpeacbilda pood meal and five dol
lars will board a child for a month.
There are six hundred of these chil
dren in your Church Orphanages.
And that does not count the Episcopal
v anjsK-CftthpJic oomes in Charleston or
tVftjj ChnficAfaMi Orphan House support
ed fry the city -er the colored Industrial
^pliaaagea in Charleston and Colum
Abiarun by those *wo goodcolored men,
.Jenkins and Carroll, who deserve the
help and sympathy of tho white people
of this State. And I do hope they will
xiot be forgotten.
.Now, sit down quickly, dear friend,
"before you take your own vacation,
and before you forget it, and do some
thing for the Institution that you love
beat. This is the?eason when nearly
everybody is fixing for a good tinie.
VYoui dear little brothers and Bieters at
?io Orphanages ought to have a good
2 wc, too,. if-*
Your friend and fellow citizen.

Sermon on Music.
The Sem ea Correspondent of the
Keowcu Courier, under date ot the
i:ttIi inst., sayn: "On last Sabbath licv.
t:. Wurdlaw, pastor of tho Baptist
ehureh here, preached a line seimon in
tho Baptist church upon the subject,
'Church Mus;.-.' At tin? day ol paid
choir, so-culled lip song service, etc.,
the discourse was most timely, the.
speaker taking a decided ami emphatic
stund against the co-called 'all day
singing*,' which are nothing more nor
leHS than ull-day picnics. Mr. Ward
law being a hearty co-worker with the
choir of his church, and an ardent be
liever in frond church music, whether
instrumental or otherwise, his remarks
may he taker, sciinusly, charitably and
appreciatively. The history of music,
its uses and abuses, were clearly and
concisely dealt with and altogether the
sermon was one of the pastor's very
best."
