THE PIEDMONT SLOPE. |lY FRANK DEMPSTER SHERMAN. July_for you the souks are sung B* birds tne leafy trees amone : With meriy caroling* they wane Tne meadows at the morning's break. And through the day the lisping breeze Is woven with their tree-top glees. For you the prattling, pebbly brooks Are full of tales like story-books. For you a fragrant incense burns Within the garden's blossom urns Which tempt the bees to hasten home With honey for their honey-comb. The river, like a looking-glass, Reflects tlu lliecy clouds that pass. I ntll it makes us almost doubt if earth and sky aren't changed about. July- for you. in silence deep The world seems fallen fast asleep, Save on one glorious holiday. When all our books we put away And every little maid and mau Is proud to be American! —SL A icholas The Coming Wine Region. We invite special attention to an article in another column entitled, “The l’ieclinont Slope ” as worth an attentive reading and careful consideration. The possibilities of this richly endowed portion of the Union cannot be over estimated as to the diversification of its pursuits and industries or the magnitude they may grow to.

The close of an interesting article on “Jute and its Uses” will provoke a smile when the reader is told that “the finest jute of all Is used for re-thatching bald heads, or for making those beautiful switches which till the scant places under the ladies’ big hats.” Copperas for Crapo Rot. I believe that copperas is a preventive of grape rot. In a vineyard in 11 liio, where a quart to the square rod has been sown in July for three years, there has been no rot, while other grapes in the same neighborhood have retted more or less every year. They former ly rotted here, too.—M. Crawford, in mul Fruit Growing. Tho Famous Cow Electra, For which her owner, A. J.

Silk culture seems t > have become a leading industry in various portions of tho country owing to the heavy demand for good cocoons. There is no secret in rearing silk worms; all that is nec ssary is to buy good seed and have an abundance of food. Leaves from the white mulberry are the best. Keep the eggs dormant until the trees leaf out in the spring, after wards an even temperature, proper feeding and cleanliness. The worms thrive on the black mulberry or osage orange, but the silk is not of so good quality as that derived from the white species. Come Back to the Rule of Our Fathers. < )ur farmers are planting less cotton and to bacco, more grain and «.rass and clover. This road if followed will lead back to the good old days and the good old times of our fathers. Let them follow without deviation—turning neither to the right nor left, until they shall be able to pay cash for what they buy. Pay the merchant cash—he can then buy his goods cheaper. Let him keep only his cash book, and he will not be forced to charge you a long and ruinous profit on what you buy, in order that he may save himself in tli9 bad accounts he bad made with your neighbor, who cannot, or who will not pay him. Pay cash and keep your neck out from under the galling, slavish yoke of liens and mortgages—pay cash and save the enormous interest which you pay in profits—nay cash and be independent —Pro gressive Farmer. The Inter-State Convention. That the farmers and planters of t lie South are beginning to take more interest in their own afuirs, and to bestow more attention to both State and Federal legislali )ii as affecting their interests, we think it to be very clear. We are glad that it is so. The Progressive Farmer, published at Raleigh, North Carolina, speaking of the Inter-State Agricultural Con vention, which will be held in Atlanta next Angus*, says: The indications are most encouraging for a large convention of farmers at Atlanta, Ga., on the Mill of August. (Questions of vital im portance to the agricultural interests of the country, and pecially to those of the ten Southern States, therein represented, are to be considered, and we doubt not, most important results will follow its deliberations. The broad tiehl of investigation may be compre hended briefly in the consideration of the evi dences of depression in agriculture—the causes of depression and tho remedy for the depres sion. In the present condition of this greatest of all our great industries, no theme of greater magnitude can engage the best thought of our best minds, or enlist a more patriotic service. We hope to see every county in our Suite well represented in that convention. We assume that special rates will be secured on the vari ous railroads. Col. Henderson assures us that the big-hearted city of Atlanta will do its full duty towards the convention. And bearing on this important convention, and matters it may discuss, the New Orleans Times-Democrat has the following, from a well- known successful Georgia planter: Colonel John H. Dent, of Georgia, writes to the Country Gentleman in reference to the later-State Convention of farmers, which will meet at Atlanta, Ga., and advocates a diversi fied system of agriculture. Our Georgia friends, it seems, own too much land and do not keep up with the new methods and im provements. He advises the division of big farms into smaller ones, selling them to others, and thus increase the farming population, im prove and keep up the fertility of the land. He says: This is our wisest course, and it will be done in time, and when done the agri cultural wealth of the South will be fully de veloped,. and show to the world the finest agri cultural country under the sun. I have always looked upon this all-cotton system of planting as great a drawback to Southern prosperity as ever slavery was. The one has been aban doned; let the other be so also, and the diver sified system of farming be adopted. The ten dency is now in that direction, and increasing every year. The Future Bordeaux District of America. ItY I*. M. WILSON. A glance at any physical map of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will prove the wonderful advan tages of situation that they possess for grajie culture. A study of tha geological formation of the slope along its entire trend, and of the chemistry of its soil, will satisfy the inquirer that every variety cf soil of almost every grade of fertility, is furnished by this sweep of country, more than a thousand miles in length, and varying in breadth from fifty to one hun dred miles. Meteorological observations, ex tended over a series of years, have demonstrate ed the mean climate to be all that could be desired for the growth of vines; and the fruit ing and ripening of the various varieties of grapes that are grown in this belt. Humboldt gives the thermal lim ts of profitable viticul ture as follows: The mean annual tempera ture should exceed 111 degrees, the winter tern perature 08 degrees, ami the mean summer temperature (54 degrees. These Hunts are at Bor deanx respectively-'>7 degrees, -1:5 degrees, 71 degrees. In the middle section of the Pied mont region under consideration, in North Carolina where observations have been made in many localities for ten years, under direc tion of the State Geological Survey, the cor responding figures are oN degrees, 11 degrees, 71 degrees, and a very judicious French writer on this subject, Chaveronvier, has observed that the exceptionally good vintages correspond to the years in which a high temperature char acterized the vintage months, while tiie ther mometer ranged 1 >w in those years which were marked by inferior vintage; and it is well known that in our South Atlantic region the summer temperature usually reaches beyond the middle of September, to that the average for that month is 70 degrees. Another cir cumstance which unmistabably indicates the climatic adaption of this region, is the great variety and luxuriance of wild gaapes. It is a well-known observation that tho best wine countries in Europe are those in which the various native and original stocks are indige nous and abundant. Rut while climate exercises a controling in fluence—excluding England, and, for example, the Northern part of France and of middle Eu ’ rope, ami all of Russia except the Southern | border, from the wine-producing zone—charac- ! ter of soil is also of the first importance. Thus in the famous wine-growing district, Medoc, | France, there are five different grades of wines, ; determined by the difference of soil. The most ! general statement of the relation of soil to , grape culture is that the vine will thrive on any 1 soil which is permeable to air and water. The 1 French author already cited states that the best I vineyards are found on soils derived from gran ites, chists and traps—these rocks containing j generally all the elements of a favorably con stituted soil. The region we have described belongs geologically to the first two classes of rocks, from whose detrition all its soils are formed. And the essential quality of permea- 1 bility is secured not only by the physical struct- I ure of the soils of nearly the whole of this re gion, but by the steep (lip of the rocky strata and the rolling hills and broken character of the surface. Rut that nothing may be wanting to the complete demonstration of the extraor dinary concurrence of conditions favorable to viticulture—four of the most noted American vines, the Catawba, Isabella, Scuppernong and Norton’s Virginia originated in the middle of the South Atlantic slope, not to mention sev eral other scarcely inferior varieties. The granites and schists, which are the basis of the soils in the region we are considering, supply all the chemical ingredients yf a good grape soil, Potash, magnesia, lime, oxide of iron, alumina are continually added to the soil from the underlying rocks. Liebig calls attention to tho drain or the wine production upon the potash of the soil. Transforming some of his figures—based upon the potash contained in the wine taken from vineyards on the Rhine— into our weights and measures, we find that under average conditions twenty pounds of potash are removed from eaefi acre of land in the wine. This would gradually exhaust the soil. In the Rhine land, Liebig says, “potash must be used; otherwise the fertility of the soil decreases.” The granite rocks of our region are an inexhaustible source whence this im portant element is continually supplied by the voluntary offices of nature. The lay of the land, the land itself and the climate—not only of the region described, but of the hills and hillocks into which it slopes down to the flat lands of the tide-water that stretch out at their feet—make the whole extent of these Southern Apalachians the natural home of the grape. Southern Silos. Silos may be built wholly under ground, or partly below and partly above; when built be low, the temperature is more uniform, and that tends to the preservation of tho ensilage; but, on the contrary, there is some risk of the seeping in of water, and this necessitates the having of drain pipes at bottom. A two or three-inch iron or sewer pipe, with a trap to prevent air from entering the silo, is called for. In our climate, where there is little danger of ensilage freezing in winter, we rather incline to think that cheap plank silos, built mainly above ground answer well enough—say four feet under ground and six or eight above. Set six or eight-inch posts four feel apart, putting them at least three feet in the ground; plank up closely b«*tli inside and outside, and fill up space between with dirt well rammed in. The dimension of a silo is quite an important mat ter; it should be deep and narrow—length un important—but it should be divided lengthwise into compartments eight to ten feet long, so that the ensilage may be taken out of one com partment without disturbing or exposing that in another. As ensilage is injured by long ex posure it is to be avoided. Begin at the top of a compartment and take off layer after layer downward. This is the easiest method to get it out and involves least exposure.—Dr. W. L. Jones in Southern Cultivator for Mag. He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which ho must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgi/en.—Lord Her bert of Cherbury. It is with a fine genius as with a fine fash ion; all those are displeased at it who are not able to follow it.—-Pope. Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to win all the duties of life.—-Addison, Conscience is at most times a very faithful and prudent adjnonitor. —Shcnstone. It is a mere idle declamation about consis tency to repicsent it as a disgrace to a man to confess himself wiser to day than yesterday.— Whately. Conversation is the music of the mind; an intellectual orchestra, where all the instru ments should boar a part, but where none should play together.—Colton. Love in modern times, has been the tailor’s best friend. Every suitor of the nineteenth century spends more than his spare cash on personal adornments.—Household Words. It is an impressive truth that sometimes in the very lowest forms of duty, less than which would rank a man as a villain, there is, never theless, the sublimes 1 , ascent of self-sacrifice.— Dc Quincy. Eternity, it is surely not necessary to remind you, invests eveiy state, whether of bliss or of suffering, with a mysterious and awful impor tance entirely its own, and is the only property in the creation which gives that weight and moment to whatever it attaches compared to which all sublunary joys and sorrows, all in terests which know a period, fade into the most contemptible insignificance.—Robert Hall. Nothing but the right can ever be expedient, since that can never be true expediency which would sasrifice a greater good to a less.— Whately. TALMAGE’S SERMON. I reached in the Brookyn Taber nacle. •Curious f ttettf. A statistical work reports that there are in Novia Scotia 205 lawyers, 2H8 doctors and 1*18 clergymen. According to this, every hun dredth full-grown man in the province is en gaged in one of these professions, one in a little over 200 being a clergyman. < >ne of tie strangest uses for snails has been discovered by the London Adulterator. Bruised in milk and boiled, they are much used in the manufacture of cream, and a retired milkman pronounces them to be the most successful im itation kmwn. “A merciful man is merciful to his beast.” A good farmer of Swansea was on the road, a few days sinco, and discovered that his horse had lost a shoe. To prevent breaking the hoof, he tied on a piece of canvas. When ar- rivingatthe blacksmith's, lie discovered that ho had protected the wrong foot. A chestnut at the foot of Mount Etna is be lieved to be tho largest and oldest tree in Eu rope. It is hollow, and large enough to admit two carriages driving abreast to pass through it. Tho main trunk has a circumference of 212 feet. The grizzly giant is said to measure ninety-two feet in height. It is said that the largest organ in the world has been built by Walck, of Ludwigsburg, and placed in the Cathedral of Riga. It measures thirty-six feet in width, thirty-two feet from back to front and sixty-five feet in height. It has not less than *>820 pipes, distributed among 124 sounding stops. When a Chinese boy is one month old his head is shaved and a bladder is drawn over it; and, as his head grows, the bladder bursts and the cue sprouts forth. The first shave is made the occasion of a magnificent banquet; and the guests are expected to make the host a handsome present in coin for the newly-shaven baby, with which a bank account is started to his credit. A bridge at Lyons, France, has a stone par apet, pierced at intervals for light, forming a passage which plays tho part of a gigantic flute. Tha rush of the air currents through the open ings causes the bridge to emit such sounds of music at different parts of its course that “one might believe it haunted by legions of invisible naiads pursuing the passengers with their plaintive melodies. 1 Prof. Fischer, of Munich, is said to have ob tained from distilled coal a white chrystalline powder which, in its action on the system, can not be distinguished from quinine. Its effica cy in reducing fever heat is thought to be re markable, though one of our wholesale drug- guists says that the amount of the drug re quired to produce this effect is so large as to preclude any rivalry between it and genuine quinine.

As soon as the boat man reaches port with a load of fish, the fact is announced by the sounding of a gong. Those desiring to make purchases repair to the beach, where ilie fish are piled up in little heaps. The owner then proceeds to auction them off. In stead of letting the purchasers do the bidding, as is done in this country, ire does it himself. He sings out a price at which he will sell the lot. If no one takes it, he comes down by easy stages till within what the purchasers are willing to pay. pistoriral. The Opium Poppy-(Paparer Somni- ferum.) There is no difficulty at all in growing the opium poppy, any more than any similar weed. This is one of the small industries that The TimeS'Democrat lias so often recommended. Any light, well-drained soil moderate fertil ity, will grow the opium, poppy. All varieties will make opium, but the best has white blos soms and white seeds. It should be planted in rows about three feet apart and the plants should be given a space of about ten inches. Cultivation consists in keeping the soil clean and well stirred. The gum is collec ted by scarifying the pods or capsules with a sharp knife and scraping off the hardened gum which exudes. As it is gathered it is made in to balls and is ready for market within three days. It is said that a gentleman residing in Florida has discovered a process whereby a much larger amount of opium can be extracted from the plant and also done so cheaply that we will be able to compete with the East In dian product. There can be no reason wiiy we should not be able to supply our chemists with all this drug they need, if the new process turns out to be successful, which we have ev ery reason to believe to be the case. After the extraction of the gum the seeds produce a valuable oil much used in the arts and sciences. _____ One Acre of Sugar Cane. There is no reason why every farmer or hor ticulturist should not grow his acre of sugar cane and make syrup enough for home use, besides a surplus to cover expenses, which could be sold to the neighboring merchants. A small horse-power mill and evaporator, such as is Hsed by Northern farmers in making sor ghum, is all the machinery necessary. Cane produced in our pine lands is not so large as that grown in alluvial soils, but what it lacks in size it makes up in sweetness. The Vedic hymns are an old Hindostanee collection of songs dating back probably 4,000 years. 1’rudentius, in the fourth century, set notes to the breviary, and Flavianus established the lirst choir at Antioch.

Egypt declined with the rise of Greece; in fact she never recovered from the effects ot the atrocious Persian invasion under Cambyses, 525 R. C. The earliest parliamentary roll extant is of the eightetntli, Edward I. It is a grant to the king, by several peers, for the marriage of his daughter. The English wars between the houses of York and Lancaster are known as the “Wars of the Roses.” The white rose was the em- b.cm of York, and the red of Lancaster. The first auction ever held was in Great Bri tain in 1700, when Elishur, a Governor of Foit George, in the East Indies, publicly sold the goods he had brought home to the highest bid der. The first dukes were Edward Prince, as Duke of Cornwall, and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. The title was ex- tinc. in the reign of Elizabeth, and till James I. made Viliiers Duke of Buckingham. Geoffrey Hudson, .an English dwarf, was served up to table in a cold pie, before the king and queen, by the Duchess of Buckingham in 1020. The whole affair was of course a joke, but Hudson felt sorely the indignity of his brief immurement beneath pie-crust. According to Herodotus, Babylon was a square fifteen miles on each side, with 1*H) brass gales. It was composed of twenty-live streets each way, fifteen miles long and 150 feet broad, crossing each other at right angles, besides four half streets, 200 feet wide, facing the walls. The first book in the Russian language was printed in Amsterdam in 100'.), and the printer was given a monopoly of Russian printing by Peter the Great for fifteen years. It is a sigu- lar fact that, while the record of the work and its reward exists, the name of the fortunate printer has passed into oblivion. Brookl> .v, June 20—Many of the families belonging to the church of which the Rev. T DeWitt, Talmage, D. I)., is pastor, have gone to the country for the summer, but still the great throngs of people that for eighteen years have been seen in and around Brooklyn Taber nacle on Sabbath days, are found there. It is es timated that about three hundred thousand strangers have visited this church during tha last year. The hymn sung this morning was “Salvation, O, the joyful sound! ’Tis pleasant to our ears; A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears.” Dr. Talmage’s text was: “He was a mighty huntor before the Lord.”—Genesis: x. D. He said: In our day, hunting is a sport; but in the lands and the times invested with wild beasts, it was a matter of life or death with the people. It was very different from going out on a sun shiny afternoon with a patent breach-loader, to shoot ree i-birds on the Hats, when Pollux and Achilles and Diomedes went out to clear the land of lions and tigers and bears. My text sets forth Nimrod as a hero when it pre sents him with broad shoulders and shaggy apparel and sun-browned face, and arm bunched with muscle—“a mighty hunter be fore the Lord.'” I think he used the bow and the arrow, with great success practicing arch ery. 1 nave thought if it is such a grand thin and such a brave thing to clear wild beasts out of a country, if it is not a better and braver thing to hunt down and destroy those great evils of society that are stalking the land with fierce eye and bloody paw, and sharp tusk ami quick spring. I have wondered if there is not such a thing as gospel hunting, by which those who have been flying from the truth may be captured for God and heaven. The Lord Je sus in His sermon used the art of angling for an illustration when ho said: “I will make you fishers of men.” And so I think I have authority for using hunting a* an illustration of gospel truth; and I pray God that there may be many a mail in this congregation who shall begin to study gospel archerv, of whom it may, after awhile, be said: “He was a mighty hunter before the Lord.” How much awkward Christian work there is done in the world! How many good peoph there are wli«> drive souls away from Christ instead of bringing them to Him! religious blunderers who upset more than they right. Their gun has a crooked barrel, and kicks as it goes off. They are like a clumsy comrade who goes along with skillful hunters; at the very moment he ought to be most quiet, he is crack ing an alder or falling over a log and frighten ing away tin* game. How few Christian peo ple have ever learned the lesson of which 1 read at the beginning of the service, how that the Lord Jesus Christ at the well went from talking about a cup of w'ater to the most prac- t cal religious truths, which won the woman’s soul for God! Jesus in the wilderness was breaking bread to the people. I think it was good bread, it was very light bread, and the yeast bad done its work thoroughly. Christ, after lie had broken the bread, said to the peo ple: “Beware of the yeast, or of the leaven, of the Pharisees!” So natural a transition it was; and how easily they all understood Him! But hjw few Christian people who understand how t9 fasten the truths of God and religion to the souls of men! Truman Osborne, one of the evangelists who went through this country some years airo, had a wonderful art in the right direction. IIq came to my father’s house one day, and while we were ail seated in the room, lie said: “Mr. Talmas* v "are all your children Chris- Then Truman oslorne looked down into the lire plr.ee, and began to tell a story of a storm that came on the oiountams and all the sheep were in the fold; Jilt there was one lamb out side that perishei in the storm. Had he look ed me in the eye, I should have been angered when he told me bat story, but he looked into the lire-place, anc it was so pathetically and beautifully done hat I never found any peace until I was sure was inside the fold, where the other sheep arc. The archers of old times studied their art. They were very precise in the matter. The old books gave special directions m to bow the archer should go, and as to what an archer should do. He must stand erect and linn, his left foot a little in advance of his right foot. With his left hand he must take hold of the bow in the middle, and then with the three fingers and the thumb of bis right hand lie should lay hold of the arrow and affix it to the string—so precise was the direction given. But bow clumsy we are about religious work! How little skill and care we exercise! How often our arrows miss the mark! *), that we might learn tho art of doing good aud become “mighty hunters before the Lord!” In the lirst {dace, if you want to be effectual in doing good, you must be very sure of your weapon. There was something very fascinat ing about the archery of olden times. Perhaps you do not know what they could do with the bow and arrow. Why the chief bitlles fought by the Engli-h Piantagenets were witli the long bow. They would take the arrow of pol ished wood, a id feather it with the plume of a bird, and then it would fly from the bow-string of plaited silk. The broad fields of Agincourt, and Solway Moss, and Neville’s Cross, heard the loud thrum of the archer’s bow-string. Now, my Chris.ian friends, we have a mightier weapon than that. It is the arrow of the gospel; it is a sharp arraw; it is a straight arrow; it is feathered from the wing of the dove of God’s Spirit; it Hies from a bow made out of the wood of the cross. As far as I can estimate or calculate, it has brought down four hundred million souls. Paul knew how to bring the notch of that arrow on to that bow string, and its whirl was heard through tl pate every slave, and ransom every nation. Ye Christian men and women who go out this af ternoon to do Christian work, as you go into the Sunday schools, and the lay preaching sta tions and the penitentiaries, and the asylums, I want you to feel that you bear in your hand a weapon, compared with which the lightning has no speed, and the avalanches have no heft, and the thunderbolts of heaven have no power; it is the arrow of ihe omnipotent gospel. Take careful aim. Pull the arrow clear back until the head strikes bow. Then let it fly. And may the slain of the Lord be many. Again, if you want to be skillful in spiritual hunting, you must hunt in unfrequented and secluded p'aces. Why does the hunter go three or four days in the Pennsylvania forests or over Raquette lake into the wilds of the Ai- irondacks! It is the only way to do. The deer are shy, and one “bang” of the gun clears the forest. From the California stage you see, as you go over the plains, here and there, a coyote trotting along, almost within range of the gun—sometimes quite within range of it. No one cares for that; it is worthless. The good game is hidden and secluded. Every hunter knows that. So, many of the souls that will be of mo3t worth for Christ, and of most value to the church, are secluded. They do not come in your way. You will have to go where they are. Yonder they are down in that cellar, yonder they are up in that garret. Far away from the door of any church, the gospel arrow has not 'been pointed at them. The tract distributor and the city missionary sometimes just catch a glimpse of them, as a hunter through the trees gets a momentary sight of a partridge or roebuck. The trouble is we are waiting for the game to come to us. We are not good hunters. We are standing in Sjhermerhorn street, expecting that the timid antelope will come up and eat out of our hand. We are expecting that the prarie-fowl will light on our church people. It is not their habit. If the church should wait ten millions of years for the world to come in and be saved, it will wait in vain. The worid will not come. What the church wants now is to lift their feet from damask ottomans, and put them in t,he stirrup*. We want a pulpit on wheels. The church wants r.ot so much cushions as it wants saddle-bags and arrows. We have got to put aside the gown and the kid gloves, and put on the hunting shirt. We have been iishing so long in the brooks that run under the shadow of the church that the fish know us, and they avoid tho hook, and escape as soon as we come to the bank, while yonder is Upper Saranac and Big Tupfier’s lake, where the first swing of the gospel net would break it for the multitude of the fishes. There is outside work to be done. What is that I see in the backwoods? It is a tent. The hunters have made a clearing and camped out. What do they care if they have wet feet, or if they have nothing but a pine branch for a pilllow, or for the northeast storm? If a moose in the darkness steps into the lake to drink, they hear it right away. If a loon cry in the midnight, they hear it. So in the serv ce of God we have ex posed work. We have got to camp out and rough it. We are putting all our care on the seventy thousand people of Brooklyn, who, they say, come to church. What are we doing for the seven hundred thousand that do not come? Have they no souls? Are they sinless tha' they need no pardon? Are there no dead in their houses that they need no comfort? Are they cut off from < iod, to go into eternity —no wing to bear them, no light to cheer them, to welcome to greet them' I hear to day surging up from the lower depths of Brooklyn a groan that comes through our Christian assemblages and through our Chris- tian churches; and it blots out all this scene from my eyes to-day, as by the mists of a great Niagara, for tbe dash and the plunge of these great torrents of life dropping down info the fathomless and thundering abyss of suffering and woe. I sometimes think that just as God blotted out the church of Thyatyr* and Corinth and Laodicea. because of their sloth and sto lidity, he will blot out American and English Christianity, and raise on the ruins a stalwart, wide awake, missionary church, that can take the full meaning of that command: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned.” • 1 renlark, further, if you want to succeed in gospel hunting you must have courage. If the hunter stand with trembling band or shoulder that flinches with fear, instead of his taking the catamount, the catamount takes him. What would become of the Greenlander if. when cut hunting for the bear, he should spiritual stature. In other words, the first thing in preparation for Christian work is per sonal consecration. “Oh! for a closer walk with God, A calm and Heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the lamb.” I am sure that there are some here who at some time have been hit by the gospel arrow. You felt the wound of that conviction, and you plunged into the world deeper; just as the stag, when the hounds are after it, plunges into Scroon lake expecting in that way to escape. Jesus Christ is on your track to-day, impeni tent man 1—notin wrath, but in mercy. Oh! ye chased and panting souls! here is the stream of God’s mercy and salvation, where you may cool your thirst. Stop that chase of sin to day. By the red fountain that leaped from the heart of my Lord, I bid you stop. There is mercy for you—mercy that pardons; mercy that heals; everlasting mercy. Is there in all this house any one who can refuse the offer that comes from the heart of the dying Son of God * There is in a forest in Germany, a place they call the “deer leap”—two crags about eighteen yards apart, between, a fearful chasm. This is called the “deer leap,” because once a hunter was on the track of a deer; it came to one of these crags; there was no escape for it from the pursuit of the hunter, and in utter despair it ga Jiered itself up, aud in the death agony attempted to jump across. Of course, it fell, and was dashed on the rocks far beneath. Here is a path to heaven. It is plain; it is safe. Jesus marks it out for every man to walk in. But here is a man who says: 4 I won’t walk in that path; I will take my own way.” He comes on up until he confronts the chasm that divides the soul from heaven. Now, his last hour has come, and he resolves that he will leap that chasm, from the heights of earth, to the heights of heaven. Stand baek, now, and give him full swing, for no soul ever did that successfully. Let him try. Jump! Jump! He misses the mark, and lie goes down, depth below depth, “destroyed without reme dy.” Men! angels! devils! what shall we call that place of awful catastrophe? Let it be known forever as “The Sinner’s Death Leap.” It is said that when Charlemagne’s host was overpowered by three armies of the Saracens in tbe Pass of Roncevalles, his warrior, Ro land, in terrible earnestness, seized a trumpet, and blew it with such terrilic strength that the opposing army reeled back with terror, but at the third blast ot the trumpet it broke in two. I see your soul fiercely assailed by all powers of earth and hell. I put tbe mightier trumpet of tho gospel to my lips, and I blow it three times. Blast tbe lirst—“Whosoever will, let him come.” Blast the second—“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found ” Blast the third—“Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation.” Does not the host of your sins fall back' But the trumpet does not, like that of Roland, break in two. As it was hand ed down to us from tbe lips of our fathers, we hand it down to the lips of our children, and tell them to sjund it when we are dead, that all the generations of men may know that our God is a pardoning God, a sympathetic God, a loving God, and that more to Him than the anthems of heaven, more tD Him than the throne on which he sits, more to Him than are the temples of celestial worship, is the joy of seeing the wanderer putting his hand on the door-latch of his Father's hi use. Hear it, all ye nations! Bread for the worst hunger. Med icine for the worst sickness. Light for the thickest darkness. Harbor for the worst storm. Dr. Prime, in his book of wonderful interest entitled “Around the World,” describes a tomb in India of marvellous architecture. Twenty thousand men were twenty-two years in erecting that and the buildings around it. Standing at that tomb, if you speak or sing, af ter you have ceased you hear the echo coining from a height of one hundred -and Hfty feet. It is not like oilier echoes. The sound is drawn out in sweet prolongation, as though the angels of God were chanting on the wing. How many souls here to-day, in the tomb of sin, will lift up the voice of penitence and prayer? if now they would cry unto God, the echo would drop from afar—not struck from the marble cupola of an earthly mausoleum, but sounding baek from the warm hearts oi angels, Hying with the news; for there is joy among the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. An Eloquont Sermon by Rev. A. A. Lips* comb. Athens, Ga., June 27.—The Lucy Cobb commencement opened on Sunday with an elo quent sermon by Rev. A. A. Lipscomb, at oe- ney Stovall Chapel. The music was very One. The choir was composed of pupils of the scuool and local talent. Monday was Longfellow day. The programme, started by music, was a skuten of “Longfellow,” Miss Huunicntt; “H'S hirst I’oem,” Miss Iiorsey; “Rainy Day, Miss llook; “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Miss Gray; An- ecdotes of Longfellow," Miss West; " of Hesperious,” Miss Harris; “Clock on the Stair,” Miss Price. Kmay—“ Evangeline,^ Miss (tarter; “Recollections of Longfellow, Miss Perkins; “Hiawatha," Mrs. Ilarr; Wed ding of Hiawatha," Miss Rantgbar.; “Ihe Fam ine,” Miss Bernard. Piano trio, Misses West, Howell and Drake. Then followed the con test for the sophomore elocution medal. Eleven contested. Popular opinion favored Miss Lumpkin. The evening programme was most attractive, and drew a packed bouse. I he cal- isthenic drill, in six parts, was the poetry’ of motion, and “The Music of Grace,’ Miss Mell organist, Miss Harriett pianist. A charming operetta concluled the performance.

When a panther comes within twenty paces of you, and it has its eye on you, and it lias squatted f*>r the fearful spring, “Steady there.” Courage, () ye spiritual hunters! There are great monsters of iniquity prowling all around about tho community. Shall we not in the strength of God go forth and combat them? We not only need more heart, but more back bone. What is the church of God that it should fear to look in the eye any transgres sor?

There is so much invested in it we are afraid to as sault i‘; millions of dollars in barrels, in vats, in spigots, in corkscrews, in gin palaces with marble lloors and Italian-top tab es and chased ice-coolers, and in the strychnine, and the log wood, and tho tartaric acid, and the mix vom ica, that go to make up the “pure’’ American drinks. I looked with wondering eyes at the “Heidelburg tun.” It is tbe great liquor vat of Germany, which is said to hold eight hun dred hogsheads of wine, and only three times in a hundred years has it been filled. But, as I stood and looked at it, I said to mysel: “That is nothing—eight hundred hogsheads. Why, our American vat holds four million five hundred thousand barrels of strong drinks, and we keep three hundred thousand men with nothing to do but to see that it is filled.” (>h, to attack this great monster of intemper ance, and tbe kindred monsters of fraud and uncleanness, requires you to rally all your Christian courage.

The meteorite which was reported to I have fallen in a Western State some days ago j did not cause more astonishment among the | farmers of the vicinage than tho promulgation j of this order among those Southerners who are living wholly in tbe present and trying very I bard to forget the past. 'They are too much preoccupied with their promising crops, their mine openings, their new foundries and facto ries, their real estate speculations, to take any interest in sentimental questions. They have as little time for sentiment as for sectionalism. Business is the consuming passion of the South just now. She leaves the North to ex cite herself over the disposition of relics of a bygone age, while she concentrates all her own interest and energies ou practical and living is sues. We can not state this fact too emphatically, for the tone of some of our Northern contem poraries shows that they do not yet appreciate the peaceful, passive and contented feelings of the South in relation to union and brotherhood. They have seized upon this ‘‘battle Hag inci dent,” as tbe sensation of an hour is called for want of a better name, to say things about the South which were perhaps true enough at the close of the civil war, and belore time had be gun to do its healing work, but which are wholly inapplicable now. That man must be unwilling to look truth in the face who cannot see that the South is to day as truly a part oi' the Union, one and in separable, not only geographically ai.d politic ally, but in tbe hearts and minds of her people, as the North or tbe West.

A Printer’s Error. Sweet are the uses of adversity, the printer’s copy said, but he set it up, sweet are the uses of advertising. Sweet, indeed, to those who in sickness and suffering have seen the advertise ment of some sovereign remedy, which upon trial has brought them from death’s door. “The best thing I ever saw in my paper was the advertisement of Dr. Bierce’s ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ ” is again and again the testimony of those who have been healed by it of lung disease, broLchial affections, tumors, ulcers, liver complaints and the ills to which tlesh is heir. the Black j room, until the knees of Felix knocked togeth er. It was that arrow that struck in Luther’s heart, when he cried out: “O, my sins! <>, my sins!” If it strike a mail in the head, it kills his skepticism; if it strike him in the heel, it will turn his step; if it strike him in the heart, he throws up his hands, as did one of old when wounded in the battle, crying: “O, Galilean, thou has conquered.” In the armory of the earl of Pembroke there are old corslets which show that the arrow of the English used to go through the breastplate, through the body of the warrior and out through the bacxplate. What a symbol of that gospel which is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing to the dividing asunder of soul aud body, and of the joints and marrow! Would to God wo had more faith in that gos pel! The humblest man in this house, if he had enough faith in him, could bring a hun dred souls to Jesus—perhaps five hundred. Just in proportion as this age seems to believe less and less in it, I believe more and more in it. What are men about that they will no«t accept their own deliverance? There is noth ing proposed by men that can do anything like this gospel. The religion of Ralph Waldo Emerson is the philosophy of icicles; the relig ion of Theodore Parker was a sirocco of the desert covering up the soul with dry sand, the religion of Renan is the romance of believing nothing; the religion of Thomas Carlyle is only a condensed London fog; the religion of the Huxleys and the Spencers is merely a pedes tal on which human philosophy sits shivering in the night of the soul, looking up to the stars, offering no help to the nations that crouch and groan at the base. Tell me where there is one man who has rejected that gospel for another, who is thoroughly satisfied, and helped, and contented in his skepticism, and I will take the car tomorrow and ride live hundred miles to see him. The full power of the gospel has not yet been touched. As a sportsman throws up his hand aud catches the ball flying through the air, just so easily will this gospel after a while catch this round w 0 r d flying from its orbit and bring it back to the heart of Christ. Give it full swing, and it will pardon every sin, heal every wound, cure every trouble, ernanci- - of our churches would band together and hew in twain these great crimes that make tho land 1 rightful with the!r roar and are fattening upon the bodies and souls of immortal men. Who is ready for such a party as that? Who will be a mighty hunter for the Lord? I remark again: If you want to be success ful in spiritual hunting, you need not only bring down the game, but bring it in. I think one of tho most beautiful pictures of Thorwald- sen is bis “Autumn.” It represents a sports man coming home and standing under a grape vine. He has a staff over his shoulder, and on the other end of that staff are hung a rabbit and a brace of birds. Every hunter brings home the game. No one would think of bring ing down a reindeer or whipping up a stream of trout and letting them lie in the woods. At eventide the camp is adorned with the treas ures of the forest, baak and fin and antler. li you go out to hunt for immortal souls, not only bring them down under the arrow of the gospel, but bring them into the church of God, the grand home and encampment we have pitched this side the skies. Fetch them in; do not let them lie out in the open field. They need our prayers and sympathies and help. That is the meaning of the church of God— help. O, ye hunters for the Lord !—not only bring down the game, but bring it in. If Mithridates liked hunting so well that for seven years he never went in-doors, what en thusiasm ought we to have who are hunting for ininit rial souls! If Domitian practiced archery until he could stand a boy down in the Roman amphitheatre, with a hand out, the fingers out stretched, and then the king could shoot an ar row between the fingers without wounding them, to what drill and what practice ought not we to subject ourselves in order to become spiritual archers and “mighty hunters before the Lord!” But let me say you will never work any better thaa you pray. The old arch ers took the bow, put one end of it down be side the foot, elevated the other end, and it was the rule that the bow should be just the size of the archer; if it were just his size, then he would go into the battle with confidence. Let me say that your power to project good in the world will correspoudexactly to your own deucie-j of sections, as exhibited by many signs and tokens since I s 70, he would look for Urn next movement of dissatisfaction and revolt to tho West and not to the South < )ue thing is certain. The South will not again, in our day, attempt to shape tho policy of the Federal gov ernment. The period of her ascendancy has passed. Henceforth she will co-operate less ambitiously and more happily with the other great divisions of the republic. But it is now probable that the mighty West will develop a sectionalism more and more in tense. If there is any danger of disintegration it may be looked for in that quarter. It seems to be now only a question of time when tiie Western States will have working majorities in both houses of Congress. New States are being rapidly carved ou: of Western Territo ries, and before many years they wiil equal, if they do not oui-number, the States which may be properly classified as Northern and South ern. It may be expected that these Western States, at no distant time, will be able to choose a majority of the electoral coilege. From that day forth, if united, they will own or control Presidents as well as Congresses. We do not speak of these indications in the spirit of alarmist. N o man of sense will take fright or borrow trouble from a possibility now so far removed, as the triumph of Western sec tionalism over the feelings aud interests of the North aud South. If it is absurd to attach any present importance to those signs of sectional ambition w hich are cropping out in the West, it is even more foolish to persist in imagining that the South is dreaming of aught else than a sincere and hearty concurrence with both the North and West in all that can promote the common good.
