JesUP. Ga., May 111.—Intelligence was received here to-nigbt that whiles aud negroes were rioting at Nahunta. The report is that six of N. 8. Leary’s turpen tine hands attempted to leave.

Leary, proprietor ot a turpentine still at the 37 mile-post on the Brunswiok and Western railroad, intercepted some ot his bands at Victoria mills to-day as they were about to take a train and had an altercation with them, which resulted in their going back to tne still and getting a crowd of armed negroes together, who began firing pistols and yelling about Mr. Leary’s house. At last accounts Deputy Sheriff Waldron was guarding Mr. Leary’s house and other property with such ht-ip as he could secure. TROOrS CALLED FOR. In the meanwhile aid was solicited from Brunswick citizens, who at once telegraphed Gov. McDaniel asking that lhe Brunswick Riflemen bo sent to the scene ot disturbance. Up to midnight the situation remains unchanged. TbeNsws correspondent thinks the affair is' very much exaggerated, although it is a fact that the negroes in the locality named are very bad and the white people very few in number. Considerable uneasiness was !e!t among the people at Victoria Mills, but they have quieted down. FLORIDA ON the wire. A Report that the Mann Brothers were Lynched. ■UcKSONVtM.B, Fla..

Montgomery, Ala., May 16.—A state ment purporting to come from Carliso, Fa., from Norman Dorter that Jefferson Davis said in his spe-eh here April 280r29 that “Ha olteu prayed God to live to see the day wbeu Lincoln and Grant were in hell, aud as his prayer had been granted he was willing to die,” is absolutely false. Every word uttered by Mr. Davis in the two speeches he made here was telegraphed to the Associated Frees, as many Northern correspondents who were here will testify. Forter’s further state ment that be was severely cut by a man in the crowd hearing Davis, because bo said “Davis ought to have been hung while at Fortress Monroe,” is equally false. On the night of Davis’ arrival, about 11 o’clock. Porter was very drunk in a barroom and got into a tight, tn which he was slightly cut. His wound was received fifteen hours belore Davis spoke and the quarrel had nothing to do with politics. It was just one drunken man fighting another, and was the only disturbance here during the three davs of excitement. The Montgomery Greys arrived from Vicksburg this evening. They were wel comed by the military companies and a large crowd of citizens. A salute of 100 guns was fired. Their prizes since May 1 amount to $5,000. EIGHTS WITH GE RON I MO. Gallant Work by Capt.

SAVANNAH. MONDAY, MAY 17. 1886. THE RATTLE FOR BREAD. REV. TALMAGE BEGINS A SE RIFS OF LABOR SERMONS. Characteristic Description of Chaos and llie Formation of the Universe —A Definition of Anarchy—Good Advice to Those in Employment— Those Who Have Quit Urged to Go Buck—Those Long in Idleness Urged to .lump into the Vacated Places. Brooklyn. N. Y., May 16.—Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D.1)., to-day began a ■ series of Sabbath morning discourses, iu the Brooklyn Tabernacle, on the all ab sorbing labor question lie discusses the following subjects in the senes: “The Battle for Bread,” “The Rights of Capi tal and Labor,” “The Hardships of the Working Classes,” “How Employers and Employes Ought to Treat Each Other,” ' and “The Greatest Foe of Labor”—five in all. * The opening hymn of the service this morning begins: Arm of the Lord, awake! awake! Put ou *Uy strength, the nations shake! And let the world adoring see Triumphs of ipercy wrought by Thee. After expounding appropriate passages of Scripture, Dr. Talmago gaye out the text, Genesis i.,2: “The earth was with out form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And tbe Spirit of God moved upon the lace of the waters.” Dr. Talmage said: Out in space there bung a great chunk of rock ana mud and water and shell. Thousands of miles in diameter, more' thousands of miles in circumfeience. A great mass of ugliness, confusion and distortion, uselessness, ghastliness and horror. It seemed like a great commons on which smashed-up worlds were dumped. It was wbat poetry and prose, scientist and Christian agree in calling chaos. Out of that black, rough, shape less egg our beautiful world was batched. God stood over that original anarchy of elements and said: “Atlantic ocean, you go right away and lie down there! Fa- j cificocean, you sleep there! Caucasian range of mountains, you stand there! Mount Washington, you be sentinel lhere! Mont Bland, you put on your coronet ol crystal there! Mississippi, you march there, and Missouri you marry it there l ” And He gathered In His Almighty bands tne sand and mud and rock and rolled 1 and heaved and moulded and dented and compressed them into shape and tnen dropped them in four places, and tbe one was Asia, and another was Europe, and another Africa, and another America-, North and South. That original Chaos was like tbe con tusion aud anarchy into which the human race ever and anon has a tendency to plunge. God has said: “Let there bo justice, light of peace, light of level” “Nol No!” say Anarchic voices; “let there be darkness, let there be cut-tbroatery, let there be eternal im broglio, let there be Chaos.” Such a social condition many are ex pecting because of the overshadowing contest between labor and capital; there has not been an intelligent man or woman during the last two months has not asked tbe question: “Shall we have bloody revolution in this country ?” 1 nave heard many answer tbe question in tbe affirma tive: I answer it in the negative. There may tze and there have been ter rifio outbursts of papula." frenzy but there will he no anarchy, (or the Church of Christ, tbe mightiest aud grandest insti tution of the planet shall, laying bold of the strength of the eternal God, come out, and putting one hand on tbe shoulder of Labor and the other on the shoulder of Capital say: “Icomeinthe name of the God who turned chaos into magnificent order, to settle this dispute by the prin ciples of eternal justice and kindness; and bow I command you, take your hands off of eaoh other’s throats.” The only impartial institution on this subject is the church, for It is made ujs of both capi talists and laborers, and was founded by Christ, who was a carpenter, and so has a right to speak for all lanorers; and who owns the earth and the solar system and the universe, and so can speak for tbe capitalists. As for myself, as an individual 1 have a right to be heard. My lather was a farmer and my grandfather, and they had to work for a living; aud every dollar I own I earned by the sweat of my owu brow, and J owe no man anything, and if any obligation has escaped my memory, come and present your bill wnen 1 de scend trom this pulpit and I will pay you on tne spot. lam going to say all that 1 think and (eel on this subject, and with out any reservation, asking your prayers that I maybe divinely directed in Ibis important series of Sabbath morning dis courses. That labor has grievances l will show you plainly before I get through this course of aermcna. That capital has had outrages committed upon it 1 will make evideul beyond dispute. But toeie are right and wrong ways of attempting a re formation. W nen I say there will be no return to social chaos 1 do not underrate the awlul peril ot these times. We must admit that the tendency is toward revolution. Great throngs gather at some points ot disturb ance iu almost all our cities. Rml-traius hurled over the rocks. Workmen beaten to death within sight of their wives and children. Factories assailed by mobs. The faithful police of our cities exhausted by vigilance night and day. In souv cases tbe military called out. Tbe whole country asking tbe question, “What next?” An earthquake has with one band taken bold ol ibis continent at the Faclflc beach, and wlih tne other hand has taken Uold ol the continent at the Atlantic beach, and shaken It till eveij manufacturing, commercial, agricultural, literary and religious interest has trem bled. A part of Belgium one great riftt. Russia and Germany and Austria key ing their workmen quiet only by standing armies so vast that they are eating out tbe life of those nations. Thn only reason that Ireland is lit peace is because she is hoping lor homo rule and the ir'iuaph of Gladstotieisin. Tbe labor quarrel Is hemispheric, aye, a world-wide quarrel, and tbe whole tendency Is toward an archy. Butane way In which we may avoid anarchy is by letting tbe people know what, anarchy la. we must buvo the wreck pointed out in order to steer clear of it. Anarchy is abolition of right of property. It makes your Store and your nouse and your money and your family mine, and mine vours. It is wholesale robbery. It is every man’s band against every other man. It Is arson and murder and rapine and lust and death triumphant, it means no law, no church, no defense, no rights, no happiness, no God. It means h-ll let loose ou earth, and society a combination ol devils Incarnate. It means extermination of everything good and the coronation of everything infa mous. Do you want it f Wilt you have It? Before vou let it eel a good foothold In America take a good look at the dragon. Look at Paris, where tor a lew daya.it held swuy, the gutters red with blood aud tbe walks down the street a stepping between corpse*, thu Arch bishop shot us he tries to, quell the mob, and every man and wontnu armed with knile or pistol or bind .’eon. iql this coun try take one good.oie.ir, scrutinizing look at anarchy before it is admitted, and it will never ha allowed io sni up its reign in our bordugs. No; there is too much good sem*) dominant iu this country to penult uauriby. Ail good people will, together with-the uflicora of hivil govern ment, cry “l‘#aco!” and It Will bo re-es tablished. \Vitiun six mouths there will be a kindlier understanding tyrtweeu labor and capital than lias ever o -ti Known in this couuiry. They have had demon strated as never helotr, their absolute de pendence upon each other. Meanwhile, my brotherly counsel is to three classes of laborers: First, to those who are at, work. Mick to if. Do uol amid ihe excitement of these times drop voTir employment, hoping that something better will turn up. lie who gives up work nqw, whether he bo •’railroad man, mechanic, farmer, clerk, or any other kind of Employe. will probably give it up for starvation. You may not llko the line of steamers that you are sailing in, but do not jump overboard in the middle Ot the Atlantic. Bea little earlier than usual al \ ..ir post ot work whilo this turmoil lasts, and attend to your occupation with a little more assid uity than bus ever characterized you. My brotherly counsel in the second place Is to tboic who have resigned work. It is best for y*u ami best tor everybody to go back immediately. Do not wait to see wbat otlndn do. Get on board the train of nations prosperity before it atarts again, for stMri. it will, start soon and start mightilyN Last year in the city of New York there wore 45 general strikes and 17?!(bop strikes. Huoeesslol strikes, 67; strikes tost. 61: strikespend ing at the time the statistics were made, 59; strikes compromised, 32. Would vou like me io tell you who will make "the most out of the present almost, universal strike? 1 can and will. Those will make the most out of It who go first to work. My third of brotherly advice is to another class of laborers, namely, those who have been a long time out of work. How many of them! 1 Belore this present trouble liegan there were nearly 2,000,000 people iu this country out of work and could not get work. I have for the last ten years been busy mueh of tbe time in trying to get people work who asked for it. I have worn myself out again and again, as many of you have, to get em ployment for those who besought it. Jo some cases we succeeded, In others failed. Mv brotherly counsel is in tbe nearly 2,006.000 people Who could not get work before this trouble began and who have themselves and their families to support, to go aow and take the vacated places. Go iu and take those places a million and a half strong. Green bands you may be bow, but you will not be atequ bands kffig. My sentiment is full liberty for all who want to strike to do so, and full liberty for all who want to take vacated places. Other industries wiil open for those wboare now taking a vaca tion, for we have only openeu the outside door of this continent unci there is room iu this country lor 5u0,000,000 people and tor each one of them a home and a liveli hood and a God. So, however others may feel about this excitement as wide as hue continent, I am not scared a bit. The storm will hush. Gbrist will put his foot upon it as upon agitated Galilee. As at tbe beginning, chaos will give place to order as the spirit of God moves upon tbe waters. But hear it, workingmen oi America! Your first step toward light aud betterment ot condition will be an as sertion ol your individual inde pendence from the dictation of your fellow workmen. Y'ou are a free man and let no organization corao between you and your best in terests. Do not let any man or any body of men tell you where you shall work or where you shall not work, when you shall work and you shall not work. If a man wants to belong to a labor organization let him beloug. If he does nol want to beloug to a labor organization let him have perlect liberty to stay out. You own yourself. Let no man put a manacle on your band or loot or head or heart. 1 belong to a ministerial association that meets once a week. 1 love all tbe members very much. Wo may help each other in a hundred ways, but when tba' association snail tell me to quit my work and go somewhere else, that l must stop right away b-oause a brotoer minister has been badly treated down in Texas, I will savtothat ministerial association: “Get thee behind me, Hutan!” Further more, l have a right to resign my pasto rate ot this church ana say to tbe'people: "1 decline to work lor you any longor. 1 am going. Good-by.” But I have no right, alter 1 have quit this pulpit, to lin ger around tbe doors on Sunday morn ings aud evenings w.tb a shotgun to in timidate or hinder tbe minister who comes to take my place. 1 may quit my plaeo aud continue to be a gentleman, but when I interfere with my successor in this pulpit 1 become a criminal and de serve nothing better than soup in a tin bowl in Sing Sing penitentiary. Here is a statement that 1 would have every la borer put in bla memorandum book or paste in his but, and every newspaper put at the head of its columns: There are now about twelve million people in this oouutry receiving wages and about 606,606 to-lon zing to organiza tions that control their labor. I "would have all the 600,000 do as they please, and l would have ull the other 11,100,000 do as they please. You will admit that tho 600,000 In such organizations ought not to control the 11,406.000 laborers not In them. Your first duty. O laboring man! Is to your family. Let no one nut Almighty God dictate to you how you shall support them. Work when vou please, where you please, at wbat you please and allow ' no one for a hundred millionth part of a second to interfere with your right. W hen we emerge from tne present unhap piness, as we soon will, we shall find many tyrnnules broken and labor and capital will march ahoulder to shoulder. 'i bis day i duel are the mutual depend ence of labor aud capital. An old tent rnuker put it just right—l mean Paul— wuun bo dcoiaied: “Toe eye cannot say to tbe baud, I have no need of thee.” You have examined seme elaborate marbine ry—a thousand wheels, a thousand bauds, a thousand levers, a thousand pulleys, but all controlled by one great water wiieol, all tbe parts adjoined so that il you jarred one part you jarred ail ths parts. Wall, society Is a great, piece of raeeban ihui, a thousand wheels, a thousand pul leys, a thousand levers, but ull controlled by one itieulaud evcr-rcvolving lorce— the wheel of Gist’s providence. Ho tbor. oughly is society balanced and adjusted, that if you harm one part you harm all tho parts. Tbe professions interdepend ent, all tbs trades Intel dependent, capital and labor interdependent, so teat tbe man who lives In a mansion on to* hill, and tbe man who breaks onbhlettnnes at the foot of tbe hill, affect each other’s misfortune or pros|terlty. Dives cannot kick Lazarus without hurting bis own foot. Tltev who throw Hhsdrsrh Into the furnace get their own laces soorohed *} blackened. No such tiling as indepeud dence. Smite society at any one point aud you smite the entire community. Or to fall back on the oid teut-maker’s figure, wbat if the eye should say : “l am overseer of this physical anatomy; 1 aui independent of atl the other members; if there is tiny thing l despise it Is those miserable sod low-lived fingers!” What if the baud should say: “I am boss work man; l am independent of all the other members; look at tbe callous in my palm and the knots of mv knuckles; if there is entiling 1 hate it is the human eye, sealed under the dome ol tne forehead, doing \ nothing but look!” Now, we come iu tbi* mormug to break up that quarrel, and wo say: “Oh! silly eye, how soon | vou would swim in death il you liud not | the hand to support and defend you. Oh! | silly hand, you would be a mere tumbler . in the darkness II it were not for the ! human eye.” “The eye cannot say uuto j the hand, 1 have no need of thee.” Relief will come to the working classes | of this country through a belter under standing betweeu capital and labor. Be fore this contest goes much further it will I be found that their interests are Identical; j what helps oue helps both: what injures I one injures both. Hhotv nte any point in j tbe world’s history of six thousand years where capital was prospered and labor oppressed, or where labor was prospered and capital oppressed. Wbat is the state of things now ? Labor at its wit’s end to get bread. Capital at its wit’s end to pay the taxes and to keep the stole and fac tory running. Show mo any point in the I last fitly years where capital was getting ; large accumulation, aud I will show you j the point at Which labor was getting large wages. Show me a point at any time j iu the last filty years where labor j was getting large wages, ana I will show you the point where capital was getting large profits. Until me crack of doom there will be uo relief for tbe workiug classee until there is a belter understand ing between labor and capital and this war ends. Every speech that oapital makes against labor is an adjournment.of our national prosperity. Every speech tliaf labor makes aguiust capital is an ad journment of our national prosperity. When the capital of the country maligns labor it is the eye cursing ibe baud. When labor maligns capital it is the bacd cursing the eye. Tbe capitalists of the country, so tar | as 1 Know them, are aucceastul laborers. If the capitalists in this bouse to-day would draw their glovo you would see tho broken finger-nail, the scar ol an old blister, here and there a stiffened finger- ; joint. Tbe great publishers oi New York and Philadelphia, so far as i know them, were a book binders or printers on small pay.'The carriage manufacturers of tbe country used to sandpaper the wagon, bodies in the wheelrigut’s shop. On the other baud, you will find in all our great establishments men on wages who used io employ their one hundred or five hun dred bands. Peter Cooper was a glue-maker. No one lie ‘fudged him bis millions ordollars, lor he built Cooper Institute and swung open its doors for every poor man’s son, and said to the day laborer: “Send your boy up to my institute If you want him to have a splendid education.” And a young man of this church was the other day walking in Greenwood cemetery and he saw two young men putting flowers on tie grave ol Peter Cooper. My friend supposed the young men were relatives of Peter Cooper and decorated his grave for that reason. “No,” they said, “we put these flowers on bis grave because it was through him we got our education.” Abraham Van Nest was a harness maker iu New Y’ork. Through economy and In dustry aud skill he got a great" fortune. He gave away to help others hundreds of thousands of dollars. I shall never lorget the scene when 1, a groou country lad, stopped at bis house and after passing tbe evening with him be came to the door and came outaide and said: “Here, DeWitt, is SSO to get books with. Don’t say anything about it.” And I never did till Die good old man was gone. The wealthy men of the twentieth century are iu these last fourteen years of the nine teenth century sitting witb their feet ou tbe shuttle, or standing up swinging the p ckaxe, or doing some kind of hard work, and Irom the same classes are to come the philosophers and poets aod orators. Henry Clay was "the Millboy of the Slashes.” Hugh Miller, a stone-mason: Columbus, a weaver; Halley, a aoap- ; boiler; Arkwright, a barber; the learned Bloomfield, a shoemaker; ilogartb, an engraver ol pewter plate, and Uurace Greely started lifo in New York with $lO 75 in his pocket. The distance between capital and labor is not a great gulf over wuich Is swun)t a Niagara suspension bridge; It Is only ai step, and tne laborers nere will cross over 1 and become capitalists, and the capital-j ists will cross over aud become laborers, j Would to God they would shake bands wnile they are crossing, tnese Irom one side and those from tue other side. The oombutants in this great war be tween capital and labor arc chiefly, on the one side, tnen of fortune who have never been obliged to toil, aud who despise labor, and, on the other hand, men who could get labor, out wiil not have it, will not suck to It. it is tbe uand cursing the eye, or the eye cursing the uand. I want j it understood that the laborers aro toe j highest style or capitalists. Where is their investment? in the bank! No. In j railroad stock!' No. Their muscles, their i nerves, tneir bones, their mechanical skill, their physical health, are the highest ; kind of capital. The man who uas two i leer, and two ears, and two eyes, and ten i fingers, owns a machinery that puts into ; notulngness Corliss’ engiue, and all tbe railroad roiling slock, and ail the carpet, • and screw, anil cotton factories on the i planet. I nave the (lag of truce Ibis morning between these contestant*. 1 I demand a cessation of hostilities between Isbor and capital. Wnat is good for one is good for both. VV hat is bad for one is j bad lor both. Again, relief will cornc to tbe working { classes of this couniry tnrougb a co-oper ative association. lam not now re err- j mg tn trade* unions. We may bereatier | discus* that question. Hirt I refe to that plan by whlcu laborers become their own capitalists, taking Dislr surpluses and > putting them together and carrying on great enterprises. In England and Wales there are 76.5 co-operative associations, with 300,06.) members, with a capital of 1 $14,060,006, doing business iu ono year to the amount of $57,000,000. lii Troy, N. Y., there was a co-operative iron foun dry iHMlitlnn. It worked well long enough to give an idea of what could be mcc no pi i shed when the experiment is fully developed. Thomas ilrasHay, ■ one of the fii at ol the English Parliament, declared: “Co-operation la tbs one and only solution of tills question; It is the sole pstli by which tbe laboring classes! as a whole, or any large number of them, j will ever emerge from tne hand to fnouth mode of living, and gel their snare in the rewards and honors ol our advanced civ ilization.” Thomas Hughes, ths ablest a.id tbe most brilliant triend of the work lug man; Lord Derby, John fituart Mill. iosii who gsve half their life time to tbe study of this question, all favor co-op* ra- I tiro aasociation- The principle was illustrated in li eland. One day a mail coaoh traveler found a man standing in the water repairing a dam. "Are you working by yourself ?” inquired toe traveler. “Y'es,” v-as the auswer. “Where is your steward!” “We have no steward.” "Who is your mas ter?” “We have no master. We are ou anew system.” “Tnen who sent vou to do this work?” “Tho Commit.ee.” "Who is the Committee?” “Horae of the Members.” “Wnat members do you mean?” asked the visitor. "The plow men ar.d laborers who are appointed by us as a committee. I belong to the new sy stenntes.” You say that there have been great fail ures in that direction. 1 admit it. Every great movement at the start is a failure. The application of steam power a failure, eleoti o-telegrapby u failure, railroading a failure, but after awhile the world’s chief successes. 1 beat some say: “Why, it Is absurd to talk of a surplus to be put into this co-operative association, when men can hardly get enough U> eat and wear and take care of their families.” 1 reply : Put into my hand the money spent in the last five years in this country by the laboring classes for rum aud tobacco, and l will start a co-operative institution of mouelary power that will suruass any financial institution in the Uuited Mates. Again: I remark that relief will ootne to the working classes through more thorough dieovery on the part of employ ers that It is best for them to let their em ployes know just how matters stand. The most ol the capitalists of to-oav are making loss than 6 percent., less than ft per ceui., less than 4 per cent, on their investments. Here and there is au aua eouda swallowing down everything, but such are exceptions. It is often the case that employes blame their employer be cause they suppose ho is getting along gruudly when he Is oppressed to tbe last point of oppression, i knew a mauulac turer who employed more than a thou sand harms. “I said to him: Do you ever have any trouble with your workmen? Do you have any strikes?” “No,” he said. “IV hat! in this time of angry dis cussion between capital and labor, no trouble?” “None at ail—none.” 1 said: “How is that?” “Well,” be said, “I have a way of my own. Every Utile wbile 1 call my employes together, aud l say: ‘Now, boys, l want to show you how matters stand. What you turned outthis year brought so much. Y’ou see it isn’t as much as we got last year. 1 can’t afford to pay you as much as I did. Now, you know 1 put all my means in this business. What do you think ought to be my percentage, aud wbat wages ought Ito pay you? Gome, let us settle this.’ And,” said that manu lacturer, “we are always unanimous. When we suffer, we all suffer together. When we advanoe, we advaucu together, and my tnen would die for me.” But wbeu a man goes among bis employes with a supercilious air, and drives up' to bis factory as though be were the auto ural oi tbe universe, with the sun and the moon in bis vest pockets, moving amid the wheels of the factory, chiefly anxious lest a greased or smirched hand should touch his immaculate broad Mo lb. be will see at the end he has made an awlul mis take. i think that employers will find out after awhile that itls to their interest, as far as possible, to explain matters to their employes. Y’ou be frank with tbem, aod they will be frank witb you. Again: 1 remark, relief will come to the laboring classes through tbe religious rectification of the country. Labor is ap preciated and rewarded just In propor tion as a country is Christianized. Why is our smallest coin a penny, wbile in China it lakes six or a dozen pieces to make oue penny, tne Chinese carrying in bis own country tbe "cash,” os it is called, around bla neck like a string or beads, a dozen of these pieces necessary to make the value ol one of our pennies? In this country for notbing do we want to pay lass than a penny, in China they often have to pay tbe sixth, or a penuy, or tbe twelfth ot a penny. Wbat is tbe difference? Christianity. Hbow me a community that Is thoroughly infidel, and I will show you a community where wages are small. Hbow me a community that Is thoroughly Christianized, and I will sbovf you a community where wages are comparatively largo. How do l account lor it? The philosophy is easy. Our religion is a democratic religion. it make* tho owner of tbe mill understand he Is a hrplher to all tbe operative* In mat mill. Burn of the same Heatenly Father, to lie down in the same dust, to lie saved by the same supreme mercy. No putting on of airs in the sepulchre og in the judgment. An englueer In a New England factory gets sleepy, and he does not watch the steam gauge, and there is a wild thunder of explosion, and the owner ol toe mill and one ot tne workmen aro slain. Tbe two slain men come up toward the gate of heaven. The owner of the mill kn eks at tue gate, ibe celestial gatekeeper orles: “Who is there?” The reply comes: “1 was tbo owner of a factory at Fall River, where ibero was an explosion Just now. and 1 lust my life, and I want to uoino in.” “Why do you want to come in, and by wnat right do you come in?” asks the celestial gatekeeper. “Oh!” says the man, “1 employed two or three hundred bands. I was a great man at Fall River.” “You employed two or I three hundred men," say* tbe gatekeeper, “but bow much Christian grace did you employ ?” “Nope al all,” suy* tbe owper of the mill. “Step back,” say* tbe celes tial gatekeeper; “no admittance here for you.” Right after upcomes tbe poorjwork ■nan. He knocks at the gate. Tue sinn ing gatekeeper says: “Who is there?” He says: “l am a poor workman; 1 come up from tbe explosion in Fall River; 1 would like tu enter.” “Wbat is your right to come in here?” ssks tbe shining gatekeeper The workman says: “I heard that a shining messenger came forth Irom your world to our world i to redeem it; I have been a bad man; 1 tram I to swear when 1 hurt my band witb the wheel; 1 used to be an gry; 1 nave done a great many wrong tniogs, but 1 conlessed it all to the mes senger that came from your country, and alter 1 confessed it he told me to come up here, ami luat you may know I have a right to come, therein bie name on the palm of tuy nund; here in bis name on my forehead.” Then there In a sound (if working pulleys, and the gate* lift, and the workingman goes In. l'uere was a vast difference between the fun- rals at Fall River. The owner of tbe mill bad a ureal funeral. Toe poor workman bad a small tuneral. Tbe man wbo came up cn his own pompous resouroes was shut out of heaven. Tbs poor msn, trusting in lhe grace of tbe Lord Jesus Christ, entered heaven. Ho you eee it ie a democratic religion. ! 1 do not care bow much mooey you have, i you have not enough money to buy your way through the gate. Ido not care bow : poor you are, it you have the grace of God ! In your heart, bo one cau keep you out. i If tbe shining gatekeeper, smitten by some injustice, should try to keep vou I out, all Heaven would By from tbolr i tbron.-a, ami tbsv wouldory, “Lethim In! ; Lot him Ini” My friends, you need to, | saturate our population* with tbe religion!

I have thw blithest authority fur saving that Godli ness is profitable for the life tbat now is. It pay* for the employer, it pays for tba employes. Tbe religion or Christ came out to rectify ull the wrongs ol tbs world, and It will yet settle this question hot ween labor and capital just aa certainly as you ait there and 1 stand here. The bard hand of the wueol and tho soft band of the counting-room will clasp each other yet. They will clatp each other in congratulation. They will clasp each other on the glorious morning of tue Millenium. The hard hand will say: “I plough'd tho desert into a gar den;” the soft hand will reply: “I fur bished the seed.” Tho one hand will say t "1 thrashed lhe mountains;” the othef hand will ssv: "I paid for the flail.” Tb* one hand will suy: “l hummered the spear into a priming-book ;” and the other band will answer: "l signed the treaty of peso* that made that possiole.” Then Capital and Labor will lie down together, and th lion and lhe lamb, and tbe leopard and the kid. and there will be nothing to hurt or to destroy in a l God’s holy mount, lor tue mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
