FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1873.
iv-
The Fair of the American Institute:
The forty-second Exhibition of
the American Institute of the city
of Neiv York, will be held in the
Exhibition Buildings this year, com
mencing September 10.
We,hope to see these exhibitions
made truly representative of the en
tire country. To be so, or even only
approximately so, the products of
South as well as North and West
must be displayed, and in propor
tions consistent with the extent and
importance of the producing area.
Sometime ago occasion was taken
in this journal to draw attention to
the lamentable absence of exhibits
at the last show held at New York,
to the fact that literally nothing
whatever coming from the South
was shown at all. One lias only to
take the map of this Continent and
observe the geographical dimensions
of the South, whether it be in the
vast pine country sweeping round
the southern extremity, or Florida
peaching a giant arm to the Indies,
or Texas, an empire in itself; to
note the serpentine course of that
mighty river that rolls southward to
the sea, whose tributary network
holds the heart of the country in its
grasp, to be convinced of the vast
importance of the section, and re
membering the prodigal luxuriance
of the semi-tropical climes, to feel
how rich must be the quota that
the South might contribute. And
yet in the show of 1872, from all
this vast region, not a single pro
duct ! For all that this so-called ex
hibition of America’s resources, in
dustry and inventive genius had to
show of it, the South might have
been only a vast sandy desert, with
out an inhabitant. Elsewhere in
this issue allusion is made to the
fact that 17,000 persons landed re
cently at New York from Europe in
a single week, to take up their abode
in some portion of the country, and
this great in rolling current goes on
without pause.
Everywhere are noticed the won
derful changes taking place in all
the territory whereto these people
gravitate. They bring their energy,
their industry, and often capital to
make our idle fields productive.
The majority of them, for want of
information, are swept into the cur
rent that is rolling westward. Few
go South. The reason for this is
that while every possible induce
ment has been held forth by men
interested in the appreciation of
Western lands, the South has been
inert.
What a correspondent says else
where with regard to Virginia ap
plies equally to the entire South.
The NeW York show being, as it
were, an index to the country, Wes
tern men have long been alive to
the importance of haying the West
duly represented, and last year vast
quantities of all that eouldbe brought
,to show what of earth’s varied pro
duce the West could boast were
literally poured at the visitors’ feet.
_ Thus we.see only assertion on the
one side and negation on the other,
and who can wonder at the result.
It would..cost the South scarcely an
effort.to cram this exhibition build
ing to overflowing, if such a thing
-were allowed, with stock of all kinds,
differing only in its superior excel
lence from what the' West has to
show, and a supplementary struct
ure with what the West can not
show. Last year the South might
have exhibited her cotton, raw and
manufactured, rice, sugar cane, to
bacco, semi-tropical fruits, cereals,
phosphates, gold, diamonds, iron,
coal, copper, preserved beef—one
might go on enumerating for hours
and then have made but an imper
fect catalogue of the contents of
this great storehouse of the conti
nent. Why is this exhibition or
something like it not made ? When
will the Southern people see that it
is only by making their voices heard,
and the merits of their section
known; that the benefits of which
li e West is now taking the lion’s
share shall be apportioned more in
accordance with desert ? The South
ern people ntasf, however,. take the
initiative themselves. There is this,
.exhibition, another opportunity for
the accomplishment of something.
The South must not expect her pro
ducts to be sent for; she must send
them, and send the best. Most
earnestly it is- to be hoped that this
year something will be done, and
that when September reaches us
and the doors of the exhibition are
.unclosed, while the West is again
emptying her Cornucopia before the
world, the treasures of fte South
"may, not again be conspicuous by
."their absence.— The South.
Mr. Blank, a conceited snob, was
so fond of fine clothes that he revelled
in them by day, and dreamed of them
by night. One evening he visited a
young lady, and as he removed his
overcoat, etc., in the hall, preparato
ry to entering the parlor, the lady
overheard him utter the following
senseless remarks:
Taking his overcoat and hanging
it up, he said, “Hang there, you fif
ty dollar overcoat!” Pulling off his
gloves and putting them on the table,
VLay there, you five dollar gloves!”
Placing his hat on the rack, “Hang
there, you ten dollar hat!” Putting
his cane in the corner, “Stand there,
you fifteen dollar cane!”
- Then on entering the parlor, he
was about to sit clown, when the
young pulled the chair from under
Jiim, and as she left the room, said,
“Lay there, you ten cent fool!”
A Blind Girl and Her Bible.
Would you know the value of the
Bible ? let me introduce you to a
scene of deep and thrilling interest
as related by a minister, an eyewit
ness. A young woman, completely
blind and deaf, was brought before
a number of eminent surgeons, to
see if anything could bo done for
her. Her sad condition had been
produced by a violent pain in the
head. The only method of commu
nicating with her was by tapping
her hand, which signified no, and by
squeezing it, ..yvliich signified yes.
The surgeons concluded that her case
was incurable, and, in reply to her
earnest inquiries, she received the
unwelcome top. She immediately
burst into tears and wept aloud iii
all the bitterness of anguish. “What,”
she said, “shall I never see the light
of day, or hear a human voice?
Must I be shut up in darkness and
silence as long as I live?” A friend
who was present took up the Bible
and placed it on her breast. It was
a touching and beautiful' act. She
placed her hands on it and asked,
“Is this the Bible ?” Her hand
was squeezed in reply. She imme
diately clasped the Bible in her
hands, and held it up to her bosom,
and exclaimed, “This is the only
comfort I have left; I shall never
more be able to look upon its bless
ed pages, but I can think of the bless
ed promises I have learned from it;”
and then began to repeat some of its
promises: “Cast thy burden upon
the Lord and he will sustain thee;”
“Call upon me in the day of trouble
and I will deliver the;” “My grace
is sufficient for thee,” etc. She dried
her tears, became submissive to the
will of God, and was happy.
► ♦ ^ —
Home and its Queen.—There, is
probably not an unperverted man or
woman living who does not feel that
the sweetest consolations and best
rewards of life are found in the loves
and delights- of home. There are
very few who do not feel themselves
indebted to the influences that clus
tered around their cradles for what
ever good there may be in their
characters and condition. Home
based upon Christain marriage, is so
evident an institution of God, that a
man must become profane before he
can deny it. Wherever it is planted,
there stands a bulwark of the state.
Wherever it is pure and true to the
Christian idea, there lives an institu
tion conservative ofe all the nobler
instincts of society.
Of this realm woman is the quueen.
It takes its cue and hue from her.
If she is in the best sense womanly
—if she is true and tender, loving
and heroic, patient and self-devoted, j
she consciously and unconsciously or
ganizes and puts in operation a set
of influences that do more to mould
the clestiiiy of the nation than any i
man, uncrowned by power of elo
quence, can ever possibly effect.
Themenof the nation are what moth
ers make them, as a ride, and the voice
that those men speak in the expres
sion of power is the voice of the wo
men who bore and bred them.' Thefe
can be no substitute for this. There
is no other possible way in which the
women of tha nation can organize
their influence and power that will
tell so beneficially upon society and
the State.
What a Child may do.—A few
days ago, I saw a large,’strong man
come forward as a candidate for
church membership. By the hand
he held a fair, delicate child of nine
years, and pointing to her as the
tears rolled down his cheeks, he
said: “She showed me the way. I
knew I was a sinner, and needed
pardon and sanctification, but I kept
putting the matter off. I heard the
most powerful sermons, but would
say, “Go thy way for a time.” My
pious wife entreated me to be recon
ciled to Jesus, but I turned a deaf
ear to all her persuasions. But
when my little daughter came again
and again, putting her loving little
arms about my neck, would say,
“Dear father, won’t you go to heav
en, too? Father, you don l t know
how good Jesus is. O, father, he
died for you and me; can’t you love
him?” I could resist no lenger;
and blessed be the God of my dear
child—he is mine, too, and shall be
mine to all eternity.” Thus was the
father’s soul saved through the pray
ers and entreaties of a little child.—
Selected.
Little Children.—Some one has
well said of little children : “I think
them the poetry of the world—the
fresh flowers of our hearts and
homes—little conjurers, with their
natural magic uvoking by their spells
what delights and enriches all ranks
and equalizes the different classes
of society.- Often as they bring with
them anxieties and cares, and live
to occasion sorrow and grief, we
should got on very badly without
them. Only think—if there was
never anything anywhere to be seen
but grown up men and women, how
we should long for the sight of a
child! Every infant comes into the
world like a delegated prophet, the
harbinger and herald of good tid
ings, whose office iff is to turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children,
and draw the disobedient^to the
just. A child softens and purifies
the heart, warming and melting it
by its gentle presence, it enriches
tho soul by new feelings.
Courage does not consist in feel
ing no fear, but in coquering fear.
He is the hero who, seeing the lions
on either side, goes straight on, be
cause there his duty lies.
