guiien.Sunday evening we attended a Sab-bathjsehool concert given by the M. E. Sunday School. The exercises were very good, but the crowning event of the evening was the reading of an essay by Mrs. E. S. L. Thompson. Her beautiful and ennobling thoughts, expressed in glowing, fervent words, added to an almost faultless delivery, made her essay one of the most enjovable among the many good tbiug3 laid away within the storehouse of the past. Mrs. Thompson has won for herself quite an enviable reputation as a writer, more especially in the southern part of the State.
