THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1887 of Cfjougfjt. Ir. seems to me we caa never give up loDging and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to Oe beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.— George Eliott. Early rising not oi ly gives us more life in the same number of our yogis, but adds like wise to the r number; and not only enables us to enjoy more of existence in the same measure of time, but increases also the measure.—Col ton. • With the people of court the tongue is the artery of their withered life, the spiral spring and flag feather of their souls.—Richter. There are three orders of emotions; those of pleasure, which refer to the senses; those of harmony, which refer to the mind; and those of happiness, which are the natural result of a union between harmony and pleasure — Chapone. A man must be excessively stupid, as well as uncharitable, who believes there is no virtue but on his owl side.—Addison. THE CEORC'A WATERMELON.

The farmers of Davie county, North Caroli na, propose holding an Educational and Far mers pic-nic, the 29 11 and 30th of July, and expect a large crowd. Tbe farmers in a large number of the counties in N-Tth Carolina are evincing unusual interest in everything calcu lated to advance husbandtry. They have Far mers Institutes, and meet and read essays and discuss matters touching agiiculture. We publish one of tbe essays in this department, and invite attention to it. Farmers through out the South should emulate those of North Carolina. Rye In North Carolina. Capt. B. P. Williamson has presented the Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N C., with a small bundle of Italian rye grass thirty inches high, from a second cutting, the first cutting having been made thirty days ago when the grass wai ihirty two inches high. This makes a growth of sixty-two inches. Farmers Against Whisky. The East Tennessee Farmers’ Convention, in session at Knoxville, recently, with three hundred delegates in attendance, passing a res olution favoring an amendment to the Consti tution of that State prohibiting the traffic of liquor, and pledged themselves to use their in fluence to the carrying out of the amendment if submitted to the people. To Make Vinegar. A gentleman tells the Sanford Express that to make good viuegar he takes three gallons of boiling water, mixes with it two cups of molas ses; into this mixture he pours the juice of a pound of dried fruit, puts into uncorked jugs with cloth over the nozzle and allows this mix ture to sour into good vinegar, costing only three cents per gallon. Who Introduced Tomatoes. Thomas Jefferson brought the tomato to this country from France, believing it would prove good food for stock. For sometime it was grown only as a curiosi .y in gardens and was known as the “love apple.” They have growD very popular as an article of food in this coun try, and their consumption is annually increas ing. For biliousness and ailments, it possesses valuable medical properties. To Cure a Horse of Kicking. The simple prescription here given has the indorsement of a p -ominent authority in such matters: “If you have a horse that is in the habit of kicking, put hi n in a narrow stall that has both sides thickly padded. Suspend a sack filled with hay straw so that it will strike his heels, and let horse and sack fight it out Be sure to have things arranged so that the horse cannot hurt himself. The sack will be victorious every time, arid in the end the horse will absolutely refuse to kick the sack or any thing else.” A Cow With a Wooden Leg. A cow with a wooden foreleg was observed quietly munching the new and deliciously sweet new Spring lawn grass in front of a villa on West One Hundred and Sixteenth street, near Seventh avenue. Tbe leg is encased in canvas, tightly strapped, and causes but a slight limp. Other cattle are browsing in her company, and perhaps wonder why she of the crumpled horn attiacts all the attention of the veterinary surgeons that have heard of the re markable case.—-Veto 1 ork Times. Sunflowers make a good, hot fire, and for centuries have been raised for fuel in Tartary and Russia. Now they are being cultivated for that purpose in Dakota. Another Crape Venture. W. H. Miller and M. Somers, of Seneca, Fla., are going into the grape culture extensively. Mr. Miller will put out 2,400 vines of different varietes. Dogs vs. Sheep. Jonathan Morgan, of Wire Grass, had forty- one head of sheep killed recently by dogs. Twelve of the sheep were killed in one day. Mr. Morgan succeeded in billing the dogs. A leaf of the giant water lily (Victoria regia) has been known to measure twenty-four feet nine and a fourth inches in circumference, its weight being nearly fourteen pounds. One of the flowers was four feet two inches in circum ference. Crasses. [Read before the Farmers’ Institute, Raleigh, N. C., May 12tb, 1887.] At your request I give you below my expe rience with grass-and clover in this section : Ten years ago I commenced to sow orchard grass and clover, with poor success. Up to four years ago I believe all the hay I ever made cost me two dollars or more per 100 pounds, since whicn time I have given the matter much thought, believing we could grow as good grass and as profitably in this section as in any sec tion. How to do so was the question I kept asking myself. I tried poor preparation of the land, fertilized poorly, seeded thinly, and my stands of grass were thin. The weeds came thick, the drouth came heavy, but the grass did not come to stay, and I was out my money and my time, as many of my acquaintances have been who did the same way. I don’t do that way now, but I do this way: I take any land, either clay or sandy, with clay subsoil, that will make four barrels of corn or six hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. I plow it deeply and closely. Upon the plowing I put on ten loads of good stable manure, or live hundred pounds of good ammoniated fertilizer to the acre, and harrow it into the land, and continue the har rowing until the land is put into good tilth. The harrowing is of great importance, because grass and clover seed are very small. When the land is made friable and smooth, stop the harrow and sow the seed and brush in with a light brush. Before sowing is commenced, di vide the seed as near as you can into two equal parts, sow half one way of the land and the other half the opposite way. If seed are sown this way a much better stand will be had, and a stand from the very start is a matter of great importance. What is a sufficient quantity of seed? It is said “In a good pasture or meadow lhere should bean average of not less than seven plants to the square inch. To insure this number, at least ten seeds should be sown. In an acre there are 6,128 400 square inches; therefore it takes 61,286,400 seeds to sow one acre. My favorite mixture, to secure a good stand, a good crop cf hay, and fall and winter pasture from the mid dle of September to January, Is: Orchard Grass Seed, ----- 14 lbs, Fall Meadow Oat Grass, - - - - 14 lbs. Red Top Seed, - -- -- -- 14 lbs. Red Clover Seed, ------ 14 lbs. Total - -- -- -- -- 66 lbs. Mix the who e together thoroughly well and sow as directed above, either about September first or March first, as most convenient. I have had best success sown in Ma-ch. Don’t sow wi h grain or io a drouth. Watch and sow with a season in the land, or just before a rain. Any man who owns his land, by following the above directions, can have one or more acres in good grass with just as much certain ty as be can have one or more acres in c ft jn or corn. My reason for using the n ixture referred to above is: Orchard grass and meadow oat grass are the first grasses to start in the spring, and with clover t ive early grazing, and can be grazed with safety from March 1st to April 15th; and being the two tallest growing grasses, make the largest yield of hay, and with clover make hay of the finest quality. I find that orchard crass aid fall meadow oat grass both have a tendency, no matter how thickly sown, to grow in tussocks. I sow the red top grass with them to fill up the spaces, thereby making a close and thick sod that keeps the sun from killing out the stand of grass during the hot dry summers. I use the clover in t he mixture, not only to improve the hay, but because it is a tap-rooted plant, and feeds from the soil below the other plants, and actually brings up plant food for the grasses that feed near the surface.—B. P. Williamson, in Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, -V. C. How to Improve Stock. of the most honored advisory members Young Farmer’s Club, as well as one of nd rare experience, is Col.

One of the features of St. John’s river, Florida, is something remarkably strange, if not an actual puzz e to hydographers. It has been ascertained by actual scientific survey that the surface of the water at its mouth is on ly three feet, six inches lower than wbat it is two hundred and fifty miles above. In other words, that the river has but an average fall of less than the sixth of an inch to the mile. Another singular fact, worthy of considera tion: It has a course—taking its many mean- derings into account—of bitween three and four hundred miles.—Yet its source is not more than twelve miles from the shore of the same ocean into which it empties itself. Some of its tributaries, vet unexplored, may be found to have their heads still nearer to the sea. The current of the stream is of the most sluggish kind, scarcely ever exceeding a mile to an hour, and often so stagnant that the traveler may think himself upon an island lake. Its great breadth, in many places quite a leag ue, lends to ihis delusion; which indeed, is not altogether a delusion, since instead of a river, it might be justlv regarded as a series of lakes, with a slight difference of elevation, flowingin- to one another. Some of its more open expanes are so characterized, having these names given to them. The principal, as also the most cele brated is Lake Georgp, near’y one hundred and fifty miles from its mouth. Further up are Lakes Jessup, Monroe and Harne, with many others that have lately been placed upon maps. _ “Oh, grandma,” cried a mischievous little urchin, “I cheated the hens so nicely just nowl I threw them your gold beads, and they thought they were corn, and they ate them up as fast as they could,” Trouble Ahead. the appetite fails, and sleep grow3 and unrefteshing, there is trouble The digestive organs, when healthy, od; the nervous system, when vigor- tranquil, gives its possessor no nn- i at night.

Curious f ttctief. There are several new houses in New York city that are only fifteen feet wide. A large and pleasant entrance hall, with a fireplace and ornamental staircase, occupies the whole width of the house and extends twenty-two feet back. The kitchen is in the rear, and the parlor and dining room on the second story.—Chicago Times. The famous Dick Turpin, the highwayman, once resided at 31 Broadway, Westminster, London; that is a well authenticated fact. In pulling the house down, recently, it was dis covered that there was a broad space between the room walls and the main walls, from top to bottom, as well as other artful devices, no doubt arranged to enable the wily and histori cal Dick to dodge the police, or, as they were called in his day, the “runners ” The Sultan of Morocco is fond of tricycling, but too lazy to work the pedals himself; so he has had a gorgeous machine constructed, pro pelled by slave labor. He sits cross-legged up od an embossed couch, curtained and canopied with silk and silver and gold.

A new industry has sprung np in Delhi. Some enterprising natives, the London Graphic says, are taking advantage of the Government offer of two annas for every snake killed to trade on the old traditionary tree and serpent worship. August 4th is the great serpent worshipping day, and every Tuesday the pipal tree is worshipped by Hindoo women. Taking advantage of the reverence paid to snakes, a large number of men have set to work catching these reptiles. Then, taking them into the streets where pious Hindoos most abound, they announce that they are on their way to claim the reward, but that they are quite wil ling for a piece or two more to release the rep tiles, and so save themselves from the sin of snake murder, which their poverty would oth erwise drive them to commit. The appeal is invariably successful. A carpet merchant of Vienna has a curious c llection of anc ent woollen and linen cloths, including more than 306 specimens. Many of them have been taken from tombs, and are stretched on folios of cardboard to preserve them. Some of the fragments are only a foot square, but the larger ones make up an entire R >man toga, which is said to be the only one in the world. There are a great many em broidered dresses, and a deal of knitting and crewel work. Double chain stitch seems to have been as familiar to the Egyptian seam stresses, sewing with bone needles, as it is to modern women. There are some very quaint and unusual designs in the old collection of sloths, but there are also very common things. It is curious to find that the common blue check pattern of oar dusters and workhouse aprons was in general use among the Egyptians more than 1,000 years ago. Dr. C. A. Packard, of Batb, owns a fine pointer dog named Flash, who, though not having had a special training or attained high rank in any dog college, is remarkably intelli gent. He has long been in the habit of accom panying the doctor oi his professional visits, sometimes dashing through the streets crowded w:th carriages at great speed. One day his fooq or rather toe of one foot, was caught un der a wheel, in consequence of which the claw commenced to grow out, and became exceed ingly painful. The doctor examined the wound, and remarked to him in a business way, “I think. Flash, yon’ll be obliged to have that claw cutoff.” The dog, who was then lying on the floor, looked up knowingly and wagged his tail. A day or two after, the dog, suffer ing a great deal, and lame, followed his mas ter into the office, and deliberately placed the wounded toe upon the doctor’s knee and sub mitted to a very painful surgical operation without a twinge. ^ijstorical. — - 4- Watches with springs were first made at Nuremberg about 1477. The pianoforte was invented in London by Zampi, a German, about 1766. The Venetians controlled the commerce of the world from the tenth to the sixteenth cen tury. In 1600 cotton was first brought to England from Cyprus and Smyrna and made into fus tians, dimities, etc. From the middle of the sixteenth to the middle of the eighteenth century, Amsterdam eDjoyed the distinction of being the chief com mercial city in Europe. Shakspeare’s Romeo was Romeo Montee- cheo, and Juliet was Juliet Capello. Bandeilo gives the story as true, and till lately their tomb was shown at Verona. Six thousand three hundred and forty-one buildings were destroyed when Moscow wai fired in 1812, to prevent the French from en joying the ancient Muscovite capital. Coaches were introduced into England about 1510, and forty years later there were but three in use in Paris, they having been introduced into the French capital in 1524. Turnpike roads were first established in England during the reign of Queen Anne, and were so called from poles or bars swung on a staple, and turned either way when dues were paid. The first custom-house in New England waa established in Boston in 1680, with Edward Randolph as commissioner. His authority was superseded by the creation, by the General Court, of a colonial naval office. The Vatican Library was founded by Nich olas V., and rebuilt by Sixtus V., in 1588. Christana, Queen of Sweden, enriched it with 1900 MSS., among which was the Theodosian code and eighteen folios of her letters. It con tains two ancient MS. codices of Virgil, one of the third century; also a Terenci, as well as Petrarch’s epigrams in his MS. The library is 1000 feet long, with one gallery 800 and an other 200 feet. TALMAGE’S SERMON. 1 reached in the Brookyiv Taber nacle. Brooklyn*, Jane 10 —This morning, at tbe tabernacle, Rev. T. De Witt Talmage read, previous to the sermon, portions of scripture descriptive of ancient cities, and gave out the hymn: “FieUs are white, the harvest waiting, Who will bear tne sheaves away?” His text was: “And the men of the city said unto Elisia, behold, I pray thee, the situ ation of this city is pleasant, as my Bord seeth; but the water is naught, and the ground b »rren. And he said, bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the the salt in there, and said, thus said the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day.”—II Kings ii: 19- 22. Dr. Talmage said: It is difficult to estimate how much of the prosperity and health of a city are dependent upon good water. The time when, through well-laid pipes and from safe reservoir, an abundance of water, from Croton, or Ridge wood, or Schuylkill, is brought into the city, is appropriately celebrated with oration and pyrotechnic display. Thank God every day for clear, bright, beautiful, sparkling water, as it drops in the shower, or tosses up in the foun tain, or rushes out at the hydrant. The city of Jericho, notwithstanding all its physical and 1 commercial advantages, was lacking in this important element. There was enough water, hut it was diseased, and the people were crying out by reason thereof. Elisha the prophet comes to the rescue. He says: “Get me a new cruse; till it with salt and bring it to me.” So the cruse of salt was brought to the prophet, and I see him walking out to the general reservoir, and he takes that salt and throws it into the reservoir, and lo! all the impurities depart, through a supernatural and divine influence, and the waters are good and fresh and clear, and all the people clap their hands and lift up their faces in the glad ness. Water for Jericho! clear bright, beauti ful, God-given water. At different times I have pointed out to you the fountains of municipal corruption, and this morning I propose to show you what are the means for the rectification of those fountains. There are four or five kinds of salt that have a cleansing tendency. So far as God may help me, I shall bring a cruse of salt to the work, and empty it into the great reservoir of muni cipal crime, sin and shame, ignorance and abomination. In this work of cleansing our cities, I have first to remark, that there is a work for the broom and the shovel that nothing else can do. There always has been an intimate connection between iniquity and dirt. The filthy parts of the great cities are always the most iniquitous parts. The gutters and the pavements of the fourth ward, New York, illustrate and symbol ize the character of the people in the fourth ward. The first thing that a bad man does when he is converted is thoroughly to wash himself There were, this morning, on the way to the different churches, thousands of men in proper apparel who, before their conversion, were un fit in their Sabbath dress. When on the Sab bath I see a man uncleanly in his dress, my suspicions in regard to his moral character are aroused, and they are always well founded. So as to allow no excuse for lack of ablution, God has cleft the continents with rivers and lakes, and has sunk five great oceans and all the world ought to be clean. Away, then, with the dirt from our cities, not only because the physical health needs an ablusion, but be cause all the great moral and religious interests of tbe cities demand it as a positive necessity. A filthy city always has been and always will be a wicked city. Through the upturning of the earth for great improvement our city could not be expected to be as clean as usual, but for the illimitable dirt of Brooklyn for the last six months there is no excuse. It is not merely a matter of dust in the eyes, and mud for the shoes, ana of stench for the nostrils, but of morals for the soul. Another corrective influence that we would bring to bear upon the evils of our great cities in a Christian printing-press. The newspapers of any place are the test of its moralty or im morally. The newsboy who runs along the street with a roll of papers under his arm is a tremendous force that cannot be turned aside nor resisted, and at his every step the city is elevated or degraded. This hungry, all-de vouring American mind mast have something to read, and upon editors and authors and boik publishers and parents and teachers rest the responsibility of what they must read. Al most every man you meet has a book in his hand or a newspaper in his pocket. What book is it you have in your hand. What news paper is it yon have in your pocket? Ministers may preach, reformers may plan, philantro piste may toil for the elevation of the suffering and the criminal, but until all the newspapers of the land and all the booksellers of the land set themselves against an iniquitous literature —until then wa shall be fighting against fear ful odds. Every time the cylinders of our great publishing houses turn they make the earth quake. From them goes forth a thought like an angel of light to feed and bless the world, or like an angel of darkness to smite it with corruption and sin and shame and death. May God by his omnipotent spirit purify and elevate the American printing press. I go on further and say that we must depend upon the school for a great deal of correcting influence. A community can no more afford to have ignorant men in its midst than it can afford to have uncaged hyenas. Ignorance is the mother of hydra-headed crime. Thirty- one per cent of all the criminals of New York State can neither read nor write. Intellectual darkness i3 generally the precurser of moral darkness. I kno w there are educated outlaws; men who, through their sharpness of intellect, are made more dangerous. They use their fine penmanship in signing other people’s names, and their science in ingenious burglar ies, and their fine manners in adroit libertin ism. They go their round of sin with well-cut apparel, and dazzling jewelry, and watches of eighteen karats, and kid gloves. They are re fined, educated, magnificent villains. But that is the exception. It is generally the case that the criminal classes are as ignorant as they are wicked. For the proof of what I say, go into the prisons and the penitentiaries, and look upon the men and women incarcerated. The dishonesty in the eye, and low passion in the lip, are not more conspicuous than the igno rance of the forehead. The ignorant classes are always the dangerous clas es. Demago gues marshal them. They are helmless, and are driven before the gale. * It is high time that all city and State author ity, as well as the Federal Government, appre ciate the awful statistics that while years ago in this country there was set apart forty-eight millions of acres of land for school purposes, there are now in New England one hundred and ninety-one thousand people who can nei ther read nor write, and in the State of Penn sylvania two hundred and twenty-two thousand who can neither read nor write, and in the State of New York two hundred and forty-one thousand who can neither read nor write, while in the United States there are nearly six mil lions who can neither read nor write. Statis tics enough to stagger and confound any man who loves his God and his country. Now, in view of this fact, I am in favor of compulsory education When parents sire so bestial as to neglect this duty to the child, I say the law, with a strong hand—at the same time with a gentle hand—ought to lead these little ones into the light of intelligence and good morals. It was a beautiful tableau when in our city a swarthy policeman, having picked up a lost child in the street, was found appeas ing its cries with a stick of candy he had bought at the apple stand. That was well done and beautifully done. But ob! these thousands of little ones through our streets, who are crying for the bread of knowledge and intelligence. Shall we not give it to them? The officers of the law ought to go down into the cellars, and np into the garre.8, and bring out these benighted little ones and pat them under educational influences; after they have passed through the bath and under the comb, putting before them the spelling book and teaching them to read the Lord’s prayer and the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, f >r theirs is the kingdom of Hea ven.” Our city ought to be father and mother both to these outcast little ones. As a recipe for the cure of much of the woe and want and crime of our city, I give the words which Thor- walsden had chiseled on the open scroll in the hand of the statne of John Gutenberg, the in ventor of the art of printing: “Let there be light I” Still further, reformatory societies are an im portant element in the rectification of the pub lic fountains. Without calling any ot them by name, I refer more especially to those which recognize the physical as well as the moral woes of the world. There was pathos and a great deal of common sense in what the poor woman said to Dr. Guthrie when he was tell ing her what a very good woman she ought to be. “Oh,” she said, “if you were as hungry and cold as I am, you could think of nothing else.” I believe the great want of our city is the gospel and something to eat! Faith and repemance are of infinite importance; but they cannot satisfy an empty stomach I You have to go forth in this work with the bread of eter nal life in your right hand and the bread of this life in your left hand, and then you can touch them, imitating the Lord Jesus Christ, who first broke the bread and fed the multi tude in the wilderness and then began to preach, recognizing the fact that while people are hungry they will not listen and they will not repent. We want more common sense in the distribution of our charities—fewer magnif icent theories and more hard work. Still further: The great remedial influence is the Gospel of Christ. Take that down through the lanes of suffering. Take that down amid the hovel* of sin. Take that up amid the mansions and palaces of your city. That is the salt can cure the poisoned foun tains of public iniquity. Do you know that in this cluster of three cities, New York, Jersey City and Brooklyn there are a great multitude of homeless children? You see I speak more in regard to the youth and the children of the country because old villains are seldom re formed, and therefore I talk more about the little ones. They sleep under the stoops, in the burned out safe, in the wagons in the streets, on the barges, wherever they can get a board to cover them. And in the summer they sleep all night long in the parks. Their desti tution is well set forth by an incident. A city missionary asked one of them: “Where is your home?” Said he: “I don’t have no home, sir.” “Well, where are your father and mother?” “They are dead, sir.” “Did you ever hear of Jesus Christ?” “No, I don’t think I ever heard of Him.” “Did you ever hear of God?” “Yes, I’ve heard of God. Some of the poor people think it kind of lucky at night to say something over about that before they go to sleep. Yes, sir, I’ve heard of Him.” Think of a conversation like that in a Christian city ! How many are waiting for you to come out in the spirit of the Lord JeBUs Christ and res cue them from the wretchedness here? Oh! that the church of God had arms long enough and hearts warm enough to take them up! How many of them there are! As I was think ing of the subject this morning, it seemed to me as though there was a great brink, and that these little ones with cut and torn feet were coming on toward it. And here is a group of orphans. O, fathers and mothers, what do you think of these fatherless and motherless little ones? No hand at home to take care of their apparel, no heart to pity them. Said one little one, whan the mother died: “Who will take care of my clothes now?” The little ones are thrown out in the great, cold world. They are shivering on the brink like lambs on tbe verge of a precipice. Does not your blood run cold as they go over it? And here is another group that come on to ward the precipice. They are the children of besotted parents. They are worse off than orphans. Look at that pale cheek; woe bleach ed it. Look at that gash across the forehead; the father struck it. Hear that heart piercing cry; a drunken mother’s blasphemy compelled it. And we come out and we say: “Oh! ye suffering, peeled and blistered ones, we come to help you. “Too late!” cry thousands of voices. “The path we travel is steep down, and we can’t stop. Too late!” And we catch our breath and we make a terrific outcry. “Too late!” is echoed from the garret to the cellar, from the gin shop and from the brothel. “Too late!” It is too late, and they go over. Here is another group, an army of neglected children. They come on toward the brink, and every time they step ten thousand hearts break. The ground is red with tha Liood of their feet. The air is heavy with their groans. Their ranks are all being filled up from all the houses of iniquity and shame. Skeleton despair pushes them on toward the brink. The death- knell has already begun to toll, and the angels of God hover like birds over the plunge of a cataract. While these children are on the brink they halt, and .throw out their hands and cry: “Helpl help!” O, church of God, will you help? Men and women bought by the blood of the Son of God, will you help?—while Christ cries from the Heavens: “Save them from going down! I am the ransom.” I stopped on the street and just looked at the face of one of those little ones. Have you ever examined the faces of the neglected chilnren of the poor? Other children have gladness in their faces. When a group of them rush across the road it seems as though a spring gust had un loosened an orchard of apple blossoms. But these children of the poor. There is but little ring in their laughter, and it stops quick, as though some bitter memory tripped it. They have an old walk. They do not skip or run up on the lumber just for the pleasure of leaping down. They never bathed in tbe mountain stream. They never waded in the brook for pebbles. They never chased the butteifly across the lawn, putting their hat right down where it was just before. Childhood has been dashed out of them. Want waved its wizard wand above the manger of their birth, and withered leaves are lying where God intended a budding giant ot battle. Once in a while one of these children gets out. Here is one, for in stant. At ten years of age he is sent out by his parems, who say to him: “Here is a bas ket; now go off and beg and steal.” The boy says: “I can’t steal.” Tney kick him into a corner. That night he puts’his swollen head into the straw; hut a voice comes from heaven, sayiDg: “Courage, poor boy, courage!” Cov ering up his head from the beasliality, and stopping his ears from the cureiDg, he got on up better and better. He washes bis face clean at the public hydrant. With a few pen nies got at running errands, he gets a better coat. Rough men, knowing that he comes from a low street, say: “Back with you, you little villain, to the place where you came from.” But that night they boy says: "God help me, I can’t go back;” and quicker than ever mother flew at the cry of a child’s pain, tie Lord responds from the heavens: “Cour age, poor boy, courage!” His bright face gets him a position. After awhi'e he is second clerk. Years pass on, and he is first clerk. Years pass on. The glory of young manhood is on him. He comes into the firm. He goes on from one business success to another. He has achieved a great fortune. He is the friend of the church of God, the friend of all good in stitutions, and one day he stands talking to the board of trade, or the chamber of com merce. People say: “Do you know who that is? Why, that is a merchant prince, and he was horn on Elm street.” But God says in regard to him something better than that: “These are they which came out of great trib ulations and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the iamb." O for some one to write the history of boy heroes and girl heroines who have triumphed over want and starvation, and filth and rags! Yea, the record has already been made—made by the hand of God; and when these shall come at last with songs and rejoicing, it will take a very broad banner to hold the names of all the battle fields on which they got the victory. Some years ago a roughly clad, ragged boy came into my brother’s office in New York, and said: “Mr. Talmage, lend me five dol lars.” My brother said: “Who are you!” Tbe boy replied: “I am nobody. Lend me five dollars.” “What do you want to do with five dollars?”' “Well,” the boy replied, “my mother is sick and poor, and I want to go into the newspaper business, and I shall get a home for her, and I will pay you hack.” My brother gave him the five dollars, of course never ex pecting to see it again; but he said: “When will you pay it back.” The boy said: “I will pay it in six months, sir.” Time went bv, and one day a lad came into my brother’s office and said: “There’s your five dollars.” “What do you mean? What five dollars?” inquired my brother. “Don’t yon remember that a boy came in here six months ago and wanted to borrow five dollars to go inti the newspaper business?” “O, yes, I remember; are you the lad?” “Yes,” he replied, “I have got along nicely. I have got a nice home for my mother (she is sick yet), and I am as well clothed as you are, and there’s your five dol lars.” O, was he not worth saving? Why, that lad is worth fifty such boys as I have sometimes seen moving in elegant circles, never put to any use for God or man. Worth saving! I go farther than that, and tell you they are not only worth saving, but they are being saved. One of these lads picked up from our streets, and sent West by a benevo lent society, wrote East, say’ng: “I am get ting along first rate. I am on probation in the Methodist church. I shall be entered as a member the first of next month. I now teach a Sunday-school class of 'eleven boys. I get along first rate with it This is a splendid country to make a living in. If the boys run ning around the streets with a blacking-box on their shoulders, or a bundle of papers un der their arms, only knew what high old times we boys have out here, they- wouldn’t hesitate abont coming West, bat come the first chance they got." So some by one humane and Christian visitation, and some by another, are beiDg rescued. In one reform school, through which two thousand of the little ones passed, one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five turned out well. In other words; only five of the two thousand turned out badly. There are thousands of these, who, through Christian so cieties, have been transplanted to beautiful homes all over .the land, and there are many who, through the rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, have already won the crown. A little girl was found in the streets of Baltimore and taken into one of the reform societies, and they said to her: “What is your name?” She said: “My name is Mary.” “What is your other name?” She said: “I don’t know.” So they took her into the reform so ciety, and as they did not know her last name they always called her “Mary Lost,” since she had been picked up out of the streets. But she grew on, and after a while the Holy Spirit came to her heart, and she became a Christian child, and she changed her name; and when anybody asked her what her name was, she said: “It used to be Mary Lost; but now, since I have become a Christian, it is Mary Found.” For this vast multitude, are we willing to go forth from this morning's service and see what we can do, employing all the agencies I have spoken of for the rectification of the pois oned fountains? We live in a beautiful city. The lines have fallen to us in pleasant places, and we have a goodly heritage; and any man who does not like a residence in Brooklyn, must be a most uncomfortable man. Bat, my friends, the material prosperity of a city is not its chief glory. There may be fine houses and beautiful streets, and that will be the garniture of a sepulchre. Some of the most prosperous cities of the world have gone down, not one stone left upon another. But a city may be in ruins before a tower has fallen, or a column has crumbled, or a tomb has been defaced. When in a city the churches of God are full of cold formalities and inanimate religion; when the houses of commerce are the abode of fraud and unholy traffic; when the streets are filled with, crime unarrested and sin unenlightened and helplessness nnpitied—that city is in ruins, thpngh every church were a St. Peter's, and every moneyed institution were a Bank of England and every library were a British mu seum, and every house had a porch like that of Rheims, and a tower like that of Antwerp, and traceried windows like those of Freiburg. My brethren, our pulses beat rapidly Ihe time away, and soon we shall be gone; and what we have to do for the city in which we live we must do right speedily, or never do it at all. In that day when those who have wrapped themselves in luxuries and despised the poor shall come to shame and everlasting contempt, I hope it may be said of you and me that we gave bread to the hungry, and wiped away the tear of the orphan, and upon the wanderer of the street we opened the brightness and benediction of a Christian home; and then, through our instrumentality, it shall be known on earth and in heaven that Mary Lost became Mary Found.

THE FALL TERM WIIL BEGIN ON 1st MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER 1887. The departments are welt nigh full, and an early application is important to secure a goot. place for the next term. Our or ject Is to meet, a* far as practicable, along- f It want In the South, viz: a thorough literary and I teal business education for females. Every membar of our faculty Is an experienced ed- vector. All are acknowledged to stand abreast * 1th tne oest teachers of the Suite, In their respective departments, while some eDjjy even a national rep utation.

The College Curriculum will be divided into sla schools, vis: English, Mathematics, Moral Science, Natural Science, Langauges and History, A young lady may graduate in one or all of these according at she has time, means, inclination and ability. ^Fo* *ttll graduation, she will have to manifest famili arity with all of them. Should a pupil prefer it, eith er music or art may be substituted for either of the above, and will be regarded equivalent. NEW FEATURES. With a view to maki.-g our course of study emi nently practical, Telegraphy, Calligraphy, Phonogra phy, Book-keeping and lyj'©-setting, or Journalism, will be introduced as specia departments. A grad ate of this school takes along with her a profession adapted to her sex, and which fits her to enter AX once upon an active business life. In no other school in the South will she find these advantages. ATLANTA AS A LOCATION. Of all points in the South, not one combines so many of the essentials for a school of the character proposed, as Atlanta. It is 1160 feet above sea level. It is blest with pure water and good air. It is healthy. It has never been visited by an epidemic of ant kind. It is out of the range of storms and cyclone^. It is the capital of the State, where pupils oao «ss and hear all the celebrities of the day. It is a progressive city, where everything new in science and art is snre to come. It is a city of churches, and is without a peer In the observance of the Sabbath. Its people are cultivated ana refined, and its mo rality is phenomenal. It is the music center of the South, and its very alt is ladened with music. It is convenient, being a railroad center. buildings. The schorl Is located at 160 and 152 Whitehall street, in the elegant four story brick building op posite Trinity church. It Is finely adapted to schorl purposes, having about 35 large, well-ventilateJ rooms, which furnish ample accommodations for all the departments. In addition to the school rooms, there are nineteen sleeping apartments, with ante rooms, all of which are supplied with new furniture of the latest and most expensive styles. Gas. hot and cold water carried through the entire building. Our girls drink the Atlanta Artesian Water, whleb Is brought to the door. GENERAL INFORMATION. This school is not denominational. Boarding pu pils will attend the church specified by their parents. The number of pupils will be limited to* sixty, and in no event will more than that number be received. Tuition must be paid monthly in advance, and no deduction will be made except in cases of sickness protracted beyond two weeks. An experienced house keeper will take charge of the boarding department, and a skillful physician will look after the health of the pupils. The daily sessions will be six hours, beginning In the morning at eight o'clock, and dismissing at 4J8 in the afternoon, with two hours' intermission at noon and two recesses. We do not like the one ses sion plan, as now tanght in our popiuar schools. The government of the school will be humane, but firm. UNIFORM. In order to prevent extravagance, a uniform to be worn by the pupils to chuiph or on the street hat been adopted, which will be made known to any one on application.

We append a few certificates which have been tea dered us by friends who have either been patrons, oi been in positions to know something of our teach ing. Cuthbert, Ga., June 19,1886. Having for many years known Mr. Wm. B Seals now of Atlanta, and having been intimately acquaint ed with his manner of teaching, and of conducting educational establishments, I can say with pleasure that he is not only a gentleman of varied talents and culture but a first rate teacher, and an excellent ad ministrator of female schools and colleges. Jno. T. Clarke, LL. D., Judge of the Pataula Circuit. Columbus, Ga-. June 16,1886. Mr. Wm- B. Seals: Dear Sir and Fnend: I am glad to know that you have decided to resume teaching. 1 think when you retired the cause of education lost one of its most polished, prominent and accomi push ed teachers. I knew you when m charge of Levert Female College at Talbotton, and can truthfully say that your management was highly satisfactory, and as a disciplinarian and teacher unsurpassed by any one who has succeeded you. 1 patronized the school when you were in charge of it, and while living In Talbotton. as you know, made repeated efforts to gat you to return. Tour friend, J. T. Wttt.tw, Judge of Chattahoochee Circuit. Cuthbert, Ga., June 16, 1886. Prof. Wm. B. Seals, while President of Bethel Fe male College, in this place, taught my children quite to my satisfaction. A thorough scholar, g x>d discip linarian, amoral, Christian gentleman, I consider him equal to the best of teachers. It gives me great pleasure in commending him to any community in which he may be placed as entirely capable and to nat- worthy. Those having children to educate' could not trust them in better hands. A. J. Moi E, a former patron. Macon, Ga., June 25,1886. Prof. W. B. Seals has had the experience of a life time in teaching and conducting first-class institu tions of learning He has ability, scholarship, cult ure and much tact. I predict for him great success in his management of the Sunny South Female Sem inary. A J Mercer, President Mercer University, Macon, Ga. Atlanta. Ga., June 25.1886. I have known Prof W. B Seals since 1866 I have had the best of opportunities for knowing his quali fications as a teacher and his capacity for conducting a school of high grade It abords me real pleasure to say that he is a Christian gentleman and an accom plished teacher of large experience, and that I knt w of no man more worthy to be entrusted with the edu cation of girls and young ladies.
