That was Paul's king. Bat the next-moment he goes into the realm of Him whose reign is love and whose coarts are paved with love and whose throne is set on pillars of love and whose scep tre is adorned with jewels of love and whoM palace is lighted with love and whose lifetime is an eternity of- love. When Paul was leaving so much on this ride the pillar of martyrdom to gain so much on the other side, do you wonder at the cheerful valedictory of the text: “The time of my departure is at hand”?. Now why cannot all old people ha the same holy glee as that aged mi had ? Charles I., when he was comb ing his head, found a gray hair, and sent it to the Qneen as a great joke ; but really old age is no joke at all. For the last forty yon have been dread ing that which ought to have been an exhilaration. You say you most fear the struggle at the moment the 'soul and body part; Bnt millions have en dured that moment, and why may not we as well ? They got through with it, and so can we. Besides this, all medical men agree in saying that there is probably no straggle at all at the last moment—not so much pain as the prick of pin, the seeming signs of dis- about God, about everything. Wc start in a plain path of what we know and iu a moment come up against a high wall of what we do not know. I wonder how it looks over there. Some body tells me it is like a paved city— paved with gold; and another man tells me it is like a fountain, and it is like a tree, and it is like a triumphal, procession, and the next man I meet tells me it is' all figurative. I really want to know after the body is resur rected what they wear and .what they eat, and I have sit iinmeasnrablecuri osity to know what it is and how it is and where it is. Columbus risked his life to find this continent, and shall we shudder to go out on a voyage of dis covery which will reveal a vaster and more brilliant country ? John Franklin risked his life to find a pas sage between icebergs, and shall we dread to- find a passage to eternal sum mer? Men in Switzerland travelnp the heights of tho ^Matterhorn with al penstock, with guides, and rockets, and ropes, and getting half way np stumble and fall into a horrible massa cre. They just wanted to say they bad been on top of those high peaks, and shall we fear to go, opt,, for the as cent of the eternal hills which start a thousand miles beyond where stop the highest peak of the Alps, and when in that ascent there is no peril ? A man doomed to .die stepped on the scaffold and said in joy,’ '“Now in ten minutes I shall know the great secret.” One minnte after the vital fnhctibhs cease the little child knows more than Jona than Edwards or St. Paul himaelf be fore he died. Friends, the exit from this world, or death if you please to call it, to the Christian is a glorious explanation. .It is demonstration. It is illumination. It' is sn a burst.

You see a great crowd of people iu some street and you say “Who is passing there? what gen eral, what prince, is going up there?” Well, I see a great throng in heaven, and say “Who is the focas of all that admiration? who is the centre of that glittering company?” It is Jesus, the champion of all worlds, the favorite of all ages. Do you know what is the first question the soul will ask when it comes through the gates of heaven? think the first question wiil be “Where is Jesus, the Saviour that pardoned my pin, that carried my sorrows, that fought my battles, that won my victories? Oh, radiant oao, how I would like to see thee, thou of the manger hut without its humiliations,* thou of the cross but without itB pangs, thou of the grave but without its darkness!

In my last letter I gave the names of one daughter and two sons in thesam^ family, who proved to be fell-sustain ing as physicians, but a still more re markable fact remains to be reCordqd. Professor Clark; of the city of Ameri cas, was educated in part at the Plains, and four others of- the Eame name from the schools at the Plains were quali fied as physicians and received their diplomas from the proper authorities. I have reference to a son of Mathew Clark, and a son and two grandsons of Mr. Edward Clark. Newton Clark has passed away, he was a mau;of no ordinary intellect, the others, I am to]d are self-isustaining. •In writing, the remimscenoea of the Plains,-1 1 feet-jifttifraWi •hrehrirting the Hon. Willie Ilawkes and bis.brtfth- er Theron, as scholars, from the schools at the Plains, for I am sure that the former was : educated mostly by Prof. Patterson, if not altogether after the year 1860. Perhaps selfishness has some influence upon me in making the claim, bnt as ho is a true and efficient representative of the people of Sumter, I know that the people of the Old 2Ctk District will justify it. Like the Apos tle Paul they may have been born oat ot due season, (after the date of I860) but we claim them as resultants from the rival schools. If the Rev. Wtn. Brownlow would not allow- his victims to dodge behind a tombstone, I feel folly justified fo S oiling the boys out from behind the ate of 1860, and presenting them to the public Bs resultants from the rival schools. It is a matter of some note that they do not show the disposition to bind men and women, as did the Apostle, who claimed to have been born out ol due season. Really Willie seems to have no disposition that way. Theron did make an attack upon one little wo- man and bound her, bat 1 have n< thought that he could have done such a thing had not the Rev.

T _ I hope some day, by tbe grace of God, to go over and see for myself; bnt n°t now. -No well man, no pros pered man, I think, want* to go now. Bnt the time will come, I think, when I shall go over.

There are ten thousand things I -want away from the dying vision of Christ, and; the carsing of the mob came to his ears more faintly; and -his hands were fastened to the horizontal piece of the cross, and his feet were fastened to the perpendicular piece of the cross, and hia head fell forward in a swoon as he ut tered the last moan, and cried: “It is finished!” - All heaven will stop to list en until the' story is done, and every harp will be put down and every lip closed and all eyes fixed upon the di vine narrator until the story is done, and then, at top of the baton, the eter nal orchestra will rouse finger on string of harp, and lips* to the month of trumpet, there shall roll, forth" the ora torio of the Messiah. “Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive blessing and riches and honor and glory and power, world without end!” What be endured, oh, who can tell. To save our souls from death to hell! When there was between Paul and that magnificent personage only the thinness of tbe sharp edge of the sword of the executioner, do yon wonder that he wanted to go? Oh, my Lord Jesus, let one wave of that glory roll over ns. Hark! I hear thfc wedding bells of heav en ringing.. The marriage of the Lamb has come and tbe bride hath made her self ready. . S<SWBfe.S From Uncle Dick. Athens, Gjl, May 23,1884. Blood Balm Co : After my regards, ,1 will say, enclosed please find the pho tograph yon desired, which yon can nse as you think proper. I am still improv ing jnst as fast a* I could wish, and feel confident'of a fioal cure of my fifty- year-old nicer; and so far as the catarrh is concerned, it has entirely disap peared. 1 am doing all I can to get the people to take B. B., as I know its effect, and therefore cannot say too much in its praise. I have received several letters from other States making in quiry about B. B. B., and I give them ( directions and encouragement. Hoping' jou great success, I am yonr'frien' R. R. Saulter. Speaking of the help given to The ron by the Doctor and the Minister re minds roe of the most daring act that was ever perpetrated upon a confiding oommunity of Christians. In giving my recollections of what become of the boys at the Plains, the curiosity of the pnblic has become excited upon the question as to what becorao of the girls? The trne answer to the question brings to light the dating act referred to in the above paragraph, and involves the names of many of the best peopli connected with tho church and society. It will be recollected that the girls at the Plains w v ro all well educated as old Ezra the Jew, would have ex pressed it pleasant to look upon. And ont of this fact came the trouble. A number of preachers, an editor, several lawyers and doctors from Dawson, Brunswick, Americas and other citie» a governor from Florida, and quite a number of well-to-do merchants and fanners * it would seem entered into a conspiracy against tho old people the Plains, and while they wrangled about their schools and what little ligion they had carried the last ont the girls off, except a few babes and one little woman with a nest of litth pet Hawks, and she was grabbed and taken off ty a shrewd lawyer called Sam. I always thought that old uncle Stewart, M. E. Rylander and Ezekiel Hawkins winked at the conspiracy gainst the people for tho preachert rere very intimate with their families- and I am sure that one, George Brown the Ordinary, and the Rev. Geo. Coop- -, of the city of Americus, w sary to the act or it never would have happened. Right here a l&ughabh thing occurred. In the scramble for j lucky ticket in tbe drawing- for the girls there happened to be a doctor with short legs, whose aspirations wac very high. A mau who stood abont seven feet in his shirt and breeches with a view to have a laugh at the doc tor’s expense taunted him with the poverty of his chances to win the race for the highest honors with such 'short legs. The original and novel reply popped out like a berry from a boy’s popgun. I don’t care my legs are long pnongh to reach to the ground, and yours can’t do any more if they do stick ten inches through your breeches. The long man yielded to the force of the Argument, and the short one got the prize. Barkis (the old folks) wore tiling and the preacher was sent for. Having legally and matrimonially disposed of the girl8.we received a word of condolence from John, that chronic jester encouraging us to be of good cheer and have patience, and to remem ber that when the Lord permitted the devil to lay his hand heavily npon hie servant Jod and take all of his children that he received double the original number. Onr patience has not been rewarded with more than a fine sprink ling of grand-children, who, like tbe locns of Egypt, cover the land about tho Plains.; They come even of nights and Sundays,. according to tho prayer of the liltlq school teacher that we may all have a chanco for daily labor. Right hero I am tempted to tell an anecdote npon myself, (supposed to have originated in the brains ot John Forest.) Many years after the grand conspiracy the writer it is said was traveling below Americas and spoted a man who he thought had a hand in the matter, and as Paul said of Peter, he withstood him to his face accusing him of his guilt. ^ The man eyed him V recoup with his largo round eyes twinkling as if trying to push from his brain, some crashing thought when the explosion followed: Well, where are K u from ? Do the devil know that you ve made your escape out of li—11 ? Did you come down here to black mail me? You old journalistic, quill- driving tramp! Go and tell your wife (if.there ever was a woman Cross-eyed enough to marry snch a symbleof ugli ness) that me and my wifp are happy to acknowledge that we are guilty of the charge and have a half-dozen boys that will swear to it, and to keep you at home, and put yon to sweeping the yards’or some other work adapted thy people because ye trespassed against Me. Then ahalt see tW laud before thee, but thou shalt not go f thither.”. - At the enonciatfon of this fearfql sentence of death and exclusion from, the promised land for a single offence in the Wildernese of Zin, every eye except that the preacher’s seemed to'be cast npon the writer and the boy at his side. The audience seemed .to transfer the sentence from Moses to, the writer^ and the boy. My mind fastened like a vice npon the fearful sentence of death and exclusion of the great law giver of Israel from the promised land for a sin gle offence, aud the teYrible fact that sonl in that vast assemblage wag tree from sin, come np before me, and yet a placid smile repted upon the face ot that vast congregation of Chris tians. Each one seemed to have the •happy faculty of applying the sentence ,Wf death to his neighbor and taking to rimseif the privilege granted to Calab ind Joshua to enter the land of rest. Whilo I reflected upon the proneness . ...

Jake had found Moses n the bnlirnshes, had exhibited the child to the people and waB far on his way to Canaan. Asa pulpit orator, Jake was poetic and sublime. He was far above common. His descriptive powers could'slide down the scale and clothe tho tiniest insect in appropriate wjlors or the humming bird in the love liest of tints. Or he could rise to a point of grandeur and sublimity and clothe tho eternal God in robes of mag- isty and glory. He could ttako him to pass by tho tents of Israel in view of the people. lie could cover the ground with manna from heaven or fill the air with quails for famishing mol- titndes, or strike with the rod of Moses the rock of noreb and make the water* flow through the camp to the relief of the multitude. The grand panorama of Moses lead ing ths children of Israel through thb wilderness seemed to nnfold before the audience. There was the Golden Calf violation of the Jaw, there lay the tables of stone shattered and broken by tbe fall, while the chosen people of God bowed in reverence to tho graven image made according to the pattern Pf the Egyptian God. The excitemont of the audience was so great a man here and there through tbo congregation had risen to his feet, carried . onward and upward by tho wonderful descriptive powers of the speaker. Old father Fallen, as if to catch the better view of Moses as be climbed the mountain reached up hi* little honey bands and caught the hookboard of the pulpit and drew himself up to an angle of about forty-five degrees with tears streaming from his eyes, watching every move ment of the wonderful orator, as peal alter peal of sublime rhetoiu aud thought was thundered in to ]lbe ears of the people and when in the grand f and snblime peroration, Jake uttered the fearfnl and final sentence of the : text, “Get ye up into Mount Nebo and die for thou shalt see the land, but . thou Rhalt not enter.” Jake leaned, oyer the book board looking for.the land of rest. Father Pnllen gave way under the intensity of feeling and the words “Take care Jake, don’t fall,” come from him with nil the simplicity , of childhood. The sermon was over and not a word had been ; spoken ' against the doctrines of other Beets or of 'Wesleyanism. The resalt of that master effort w varied and lasting. The waiter saw in it an immortal soul burning and leaping to break tlje_ cords that bound if in its earthly tabernacle that it might roam at will through the vast fields of knowledge, and.* realize th* joys, the i ; beauties and glories of the spirit home reserved for the pare in heart. The boy ’saw nothing,bnt exalted genius |n the speaker, development j growth and decay in Moses. He 6aw him as a : proper child as he slept qnietly and ud« consciously among knllrashes. . He. saw him under tho fostering care of ; Pharaoh's daughter grow to manhood, and assume the leadership of the chosen ; people of God. He saw him by virtue of a superior and well cultivated mind become tho great lawgiver of the honso of Israel and di* upon Mount Nebo for a single offence , in the Wilderness rd #in against the laws he had written. Mystery seems to characterize all the wavs of God. How a sermon so per fect in design and so grand and nub- limo fo its delivery should be so varied in its effect npon the minds of man i* beyond my feeble powers to understand.
