VOICES OF THE WOODS.
The ninb sang low: “WMr® tbjj spider weaves,
An angel passed at early morn;
••His garments rustled among my leases,”
Made answer the Indian corn.
The grass sighed soft In a voice so oweet:
‘•I kissed. In passing, the angel s feet;
From her l6afy bed the slolet salth:
• In my purple cup I caught bis breath.
The weed by the wayside bowed Its head.
“He gavems the power to heal,” It said.
A wee bird by loan appje tree_
Sang sweet: “

A woman weary with household care
Caught the sweet soog on the evening air,
And said, with a happy, bappv sigh:
“An angel of God he passetn by.”

Agricultural Education.
Efforts for special education in agriculture
jfg g^ioiog ground in public esteem all over
the world. We notice in a London exchange
that the Lords of the Committee of Council on
Education have directed that the title of the
office of Lecturer in Agriculture held by Prof.
Wrightson iu the Normal School of Science
and Royal School of Mines should be altered
10 mar. of Professor in Agriculture. This hap-
iai-es agriculture in respect of status
^P'i)
among the other branches of education con
ducted under the Committee of Council on
Education.
“Some Pumpkin.”
William Cannon, of Kissimmee, Fla., has a
pumpkin which measures live feet ten inches
in circumference and weighs ninety-live
pounds.
Denmark Dairying.
In Denmark dairying is taught as a trade,
boys being apprenticed for that purpose. They
are not only taught the points and character
istics of stock, and all the improved modes of
making butter and cheese, but schools are es
tablished where scientific knowledge of dairy
ing is also imparted.
Cleaning Mud from Ditches.
In open ditches the sediment at the bottom
after floods have subsided is generally rich,
and will repay the labor of cleaning out to use
as manure. If thrown on heaps and allowed
to dry out it may be carried away with less
labor than if tackled while wet. This dried
sediment is an excellent mulch for bearing
trees. It keeps down the grass and draws the
roots of the tree nearer the surface.
Newly set fruit trees should bare the ground
about them kept clean and mellow.
W. R. Rogers, of Pickens county, Ala, has
124 acres in corn that will make 5,000 bushels.
A horse is never vicious or intractable with
out a direct cause. If a horse is restive or
timorous, you may be sure that these faults
arise from defects in his education; he has been
treated either awkwardly or brutally.
A Peppermint Crop.
Phil Ganz, of Lyons, N. Y., will realize -SB,
000 when he sells his peppermint crop. The
julep is in high favor in his neighborhood.
Silos In Wisconsin.
It is estimated that twelve or fifteen hun
dred farmers in Wisconsin will erect silos dur
ing the present season. This is owing to the
satisfactory experiments made in that State
last year, and to the recent improvements in
the methods of preserving forage by the silage
process for all kinds of farm animals.
Melon Mellifluence.
It is estimated that about 100 cars of melons,
or more, have been shipped from the vicinity
of Baconton, Dougherty county, Ga., which
will bring into the county about 815,000, this
being a low estimate.
Lake City, Fla , has the honor of originating
a new variety of watermelon. The rind is
exceedingly thin and of a gray color; the pulp
is deep red. It is as sweet as honey and could
appropriately be named the honey-melon.
Solid Sense.
The farmer has many causes for complaint,
but he has the remedy in his own hands If he
will but apply it—to do this effecually he must
organize. It will not do for him to declare in
a perfunctory way his approval of the object of
the organization. Victories are not won by
the half-hearted fighters. It is earnestness
that carries off the honors. If the farmer
wishes relief from unjust exactions, he must
do somethieg more than mildly protest. The
first step is to organize and attend the meet
ings of the oaganization.—Tarboro Southerner.
Watering Cows In Summer.
Any animal giving milk requires frequent
watering. While many cows in Winter will
only drink once a day, they will in Summer
require water three times, morning, noon and
night, and drink heartily each time. The wa
ter even in Summer is better for standing
where it will be nearly blood warmth. Fresh
water from the well is for this season not so
good as that from streams or ponds, where it
is warmed by the surrounding air. Doubtless
water as cold as ice is not best for human be
ings, but we have no such practical test of its
bad effects as any one can have from giving it
to milch cows.
Poultry Points.
The Poultry Yard advocates quick fattening
for fowls when they are intended for table use,
and recommends milk in any state, from fresh
to thick. This should be fed in connection
with a grain diet.
The run of a hen house should be dug up
every morning. Each time the yard is spaded
sprinkle in a pint or more of oats, this will
keep the hens busy, and the grain that escapes
biddie will sprout in a few days and afford the
poultry a dessert of green oats.
Of the 1,000 grains of an egg, 107 are of
shell, 004 of the white and 280 of the yolk.
Fall Chickens.
There is no season of the year when chicks
can be raised so cheaply as when hatched out
early in September. At this season of the year
the number of insects is very large, and if the
chicks be permitted to have a wide range they
will live principally on bugs and worms. This
greatly reduces the amount of grain required
to keep up a vigorous growth. Chicks hatched
out in September, if properly cared for, will
begin to lay by the first of March, and the male
birds will be in a condition to bring good prices
early in the spring. Those who keep large
numbers of hens for eggs should hatch chicks
twice a year, and thus secure a more uniform
number of eggs during each mouth than they
would if all were hatched at one time.
Cheerfulness 3T in the first place, the best

Scholars are men of peace; they hear no

Idolatry is certainly the firstborn of folly,

Florida Crops.
The tobacco crop around Lake City still holds
forth the same flattering prospects of a few
weeks ago Mr. Geer, of that place, who is in
constant communication with the tobacco rais
ers, says the outlook is generally good through
out the State.
There has not been a more favorable pros

A Kelsey plum has been shown at Orlando
raised by Capt. D. A. Irwin at Zellwood, on a
tree planted in January, 1886. The plum meas
ured 31-2 inches in diameter, and is one among
thirty of almost as great size, all gathered from
the same tree.
Rules for the Orchard.
Three rales in regard to the operation of
pruning an orchard, and they will be short
ones:
Prune annually. If judiciously done none
but small branches will be required to be cut,
and the wounds of those will soon heal.
Make a clean cut and pare smooth with a
sharp knife the edges of the wound. This will
greatly facilitate the healing process and pre
serve the tree from decay.
When the habit of the tree will allow take
out the leading shoot at the height where you
design to have the branches spread. A horri-
zontal branch will produce more fruit than an
upright one.
A Tomato-Tomato Wine.
The GreeDesboro. N. C., Workman is re
sponsible for the following: Since so much
has been going the rounds of the pijess on big
tomatoes and big other things, Kittrell, a vil
lage in Vance county, has shown a tomato
weighing three and one-fourth pounds. Phan-
cy the pbeeling8 of the phortunate pheller who
phound the phamous phruitphloumhing under
the phostering phavor of his phingers. This is
a special item which comes from a correspond
ent at Kittrell, and is thoroughly reliable.
Hon. J. H. Dyches, of Pulaski county, Ga.,
haviDg a superabundance of tomatoes, decided
to convert a portion of them into wine. He
gathered two bushels, from which he extracted
a sufficient quantity of juice to make ten gal
lons of as pore, fine flavored and sparkliDg
wine as was ever sampled.
Sheep for the South.
Always take the native sheep for a basis on
which to build a flock of pure grades. A Me
rino buck doubles the value of the clip of wool
upon the first cross by increasing the quantity
fully fifty per cent, and the quality an equal
amount. H you wish to raise mutton, noth
ing so good as the Southdown. Long-wooled
sheep have not prospered in the South so far.
Where it is intended to raise pure bloods for
sale, the flock most be kept within bounds,
say from fifty to one hundred head. The pas
turage should be changed every month, to al
low the ground and grass to become sweet
Sheep kept too long on a pasture are certain
to become diseased. Goats are a protection
against dogs. Hogs and cattle should never
be permitted to occupy the same pasture as
sheep. Every animal will pay a profit of 81
per annum net. A large flock, especially me
natives and their grades, should hare a big
range and kept on the move. They should be
watched night and day by a person specially
employed for that purpose. A good, steady
boy will answer.
A couple of well-trained collies, with an at-
—-ldant, can care for a flock of 2.000.—Times-

Trees Around Dwellings.
A tall tree near a dwelling or barn is an effi
cient protector against lightning. It not only
saves the expense of patting up lightning rods,
but is vastly better. The iron rod is liable to
have its connection with the moist earth
broken off, making it simply an attractor of
lightning with no power of warding off its de
structive effect. The tree so long as it stands
most have its roots deeply in the earth, and
in most cases ordinary strokes of lightning
will pass down it without leaving any mark.
It is rare that the lightning rends living trees
full of sap; but in exposed places the electric
fluid may often be conducted by them to the
earth. Thus an elevated tree near a bail ling
may often save it and the fact be never sus
pected.
Farming Fosters Manliness.
President Chamberlain, of the Iowa Agricul
tural College, pays this high tribute to the bus
iness of farming ;
“Farming confers health, home comforts,
and the privilege of attending to the training
of children, instead of leaving home early in
the morning and returning late at night. It
also confers freedom from want. Few farmers
ever go to the poor-honse or ask charity.
While 00 per c?nt. of business men fail, only
10 per cent, of farmers fail. Farming also
gives individuality and independence of mind.
The man is not confined to one narrow line of
work, which eventually dwarfs the intellect and
makes him more of a machine than the ma
chine he tends. There is independence from
want and from the dictation of employers. It
is the kind of life which fosters intelligence and
manliness in the boys and womanliness in the
girls.”
Broom Corn.
A writer in the Henderson Journal, who has
cultivated broom corn for eleven years, says
that the same amount of labor that will pro
duce three acres of tobacco will produce twen
ty acres of broom corn. Estimating both crops
at five cents per ponnd, the gooo, lugs and
trash are worth 1150, while twenty acres of
broom com at 825 per acre are worth 8500.
Besides, on every five hundred pounds of
broom corn you will get a thousand pounds of
seed, which are worth more than the same
number of pounds of oats. They are worth
more because they are better food for stock,
and will bring §6 per acre. The seed, then, on
twenty acres is worth f 120. Add the price of
com to the price of seed and you have 8420.
Subtract 85 per acre and yon have 8320 left.
Subtract 815 for rent on tobacco land and yon
have 8185 left.
Curing Tc bacco on and Off the Stalk
Recent experiments made by a North Caro
lina gentleman in curing tobacco both on and
off the stalk seem to prove that the latter is the
proper method. It is held that the great bulk
of nicotine in a tobacco plant lies in the stalk;
that in the old process of curing this nicotine
is oriven to the leaf, and hence becomes an in
jury to it. The gentleman referred to above
states, that stripping the leaves as they ripen
and curing them off the stalk, almost entirely
relieves the tobacco of all nicotine, and, as a
consequence, improves its quality to a consid
erable degree. If this can be substantiated as
a fact it will greatly revolutionize the tobacco
business with reference to caring. A great
many planters hold that a leaf of tobac io bro
ken from the stock before it is cured becomes
lifeless and almost worthless. This ground is
demonstrated to be false by examining a lot of
tobacco cured after being stripped. We have
in our office a small sample of smoking tobac
co manufactured from leaf stripped in the field
and afterward cured. It has the pleasant
aroma of fine smoking tobacco, does not affect
the nerves, and does not leave a biting, un
pleasant taste after smoking as is often the
case with most smoking tobacco. Whether
these qualities arise from being cured after be
ing broken from the stalk we don’t know, bat
it seems most likely that this is the reason.
Thorough experiments will be made this sum
mer to test this matter, and if there is any
thing in the claim of non nicotine tobacco it
will soon get its quota of credit.

duced by a lead compound, and that such hats
were in demand because stains from perspira

hand showed that it contained 37,548 grains of
lead.

The Hamptons, August 7.—The Rev. T.
DeWitt Talmsge’s sermon for to-day was on
the important snbj >ct of “Life and Fire In
surance; the Christian Principles.” Involved
His text was: “Let him appoint officers over
the land and take up the fifth part of the land
of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.”—Gen
esis, xU, v. 34.
These were the words of Joseph, the presi
dent of the first life insurance company that
the world ever saw. Pharaoh had a dream
that distracted him. He thought he stood on
the banks of the river Nile and saw coming up
out of the river seven fat, sleek, glossy cows,
and they began to browse in the thick grass.
Nothing frightful about that. But after them
coming out of the same river, he saw seven
cows that were gaunt and starved, and the
worst looking cows that, had ever been seen in
the land, and in the ferocity of hunger they
devoured their seven fat predecessors. Pha
raoh, the king, sent for Joseph to decipher
these midnight hieroglyphics. Joseph made
short work of it, and intimated the seven fat
cows that came ont of the river are seven years
with plenty to eat, and seven emaciated cows
that followed them are seven years with noth
ing to eat. “Now,” said Joseph, “let us take
one-fifth of the com crop of the seven prosper
ous years and keep it as a provision for the
seven years in which there shall be no corn
crop.’’ The king- took the counsel and ap
pointed Joseph, because of his integrity and
public spiritedness, as the president of the un
dertaking. The fanners paid one-fifth of their
income as a premium. In all the towns and
cities of the land there were branch houses.
This great Egyptian life insurance company
had millions of dollars as assets. After awhile
the dark days came and the whole nation
would have starved if it had not been for the
provision they had made for the future. But
now these suffering families had nothing to do
but to go np and collect the amount of their
life policies. The Bible pats it in one short
phrase. “In all the land of Egypt there was
bread.” I say this was the first life insurance
company. It was Divinely organized. It had
in it all the advantages of the “whole life
plan,” of the “tontine plan,” of the “reserved
endowment plan,” and all other good plans.
We are told that Rev. Dr. Anhate, of Lincoln
shire, England, originated the first life insur
ance company in 1698. No, it is as old as the
corn cribs of Egypt; and God Himself was the
author and originator. If that were not so I
would not take your time and mine in Sabbath
discussion of this subject. I feel it is a theme
vital, religious, and of infinite import, the
morals of life and fire insurance.
About ten or twelve years ago there was a
great panic in life insurance which did good.
Under the storm the untrustworthy and bogus
institutions were scattered, while the genuine
were tested and firmly established, and where
does the life insurance institution stand to-day 1
What amount of comfort, of education, of
moral and spiritual advantage is represented
in the simple statistics that in this country the
life insurance companies in one year paid seven
million dollars to the families of the bereft,
and in five years they paid three hundred mil
lions of dollars to the familes of the bereft,
and are promising to pay—and hold themselves
in readiness to pay—two thousand millions of
dollars to the families of the bereft.
They have actually paid out more in divi
dends and death claims than they have ever
received in premiums. I know of what I
speak. The life insurance companies of this
country paid more than seven millions of dol
lars of taxes to the government in five years.
So, instead of these companies being indebted
to the land, the land, is indebted to them. To
cry out against life Insurance because here and
there one company Jus behaved badly is as
absurd as it would be for a man to born down
a thousand acres of harvest field in order to
kill the moles and potato bugs—as preposter
ous as a man who should blow up a crowded
steamer in mid-Atlantic for the purpose of de
stroying tho barnacles on the bottom of the
hulk.
But what does the Bible say in regard to
this subject? H the Bible favors the institu
tion, I will favor it, if the Bible denounces it,
1 will denounce it. -In addition to the forecast
of Joseph in the text, I call your attention to
Paul’s comparison. Here is the one man who,
through neglect, fails to support his family
while he lives, or after he dies. Here is
another man, who abhors the scriptures, and
rejects God. Which of those men is the worse?
Well, you say, the latter. Paul says the for
mer. Paul says that a man who neglects to
care for his household is more obnoxious than
a man who rejects the Scriptures: “He that
provideth not for his own, and especially those
of his own household, is worse than an infi
del." Life insurance companies help most of
us to provide for our families after we are
gone; hut, if we have the money to pay the
premiums and do not pay them, we have no
right to expect mercy at the hand of God in
the judgment. We are worse than Tom Paine,
worse than Voltaire, and worse than Shaftes
bury. The Bible declares it—we are worse
than an infidel.
After the certificate of death has been made
out, and thirty or sixty days have passed, and
the officer of the life insurance company comes
into the bereft household, and pays down the
hard cash on an insurance policy, that officer
of the company is performing a positively re
ligious rite, according to the Apostle James,
who says: “True religion aid undefiled be
fore God and the Father is this: To visit the
fatherless and the widow in their affliction,”
and so on. The religion of Christ proposes to
take care of the temporal wants of the people
as well as the spiritual. When Hezekiah was
dying the injunction came to him: “Set thy
house in order, for thoushalt die and not live.”
That injunction in our day would mean:
“Make your will; settle up your accounts;
make things plain; den’t deceive your heirs
with rolls of worthless mining stock; don’t de
ceive them with deeds for western lands that
will never yield any crop but chills and fever;
don’t leave for them notes that have been out
lawed, and second mortgages on property that
will not pay the first.” “Set thy house in or
der.” That is, fix up things, so your going out
of the world may make as little consternation
as possible. See the lean cattle devouring the
fat cattle, and in time of plenty prepare for
the time of want. The difficulty is, when men
think of their death, they are afraid tc think
of it only in connection with their spiritual
welfare, and not of the devastation in the
household which will come because of their
emigration from it. It is meanly selfish for
you to be so absorbed in the heaven to which
you are geing that you forget what is to be
come of your wife aad children after you are
dead. You can go out of this world without
leaving a dollar and yet die happy if you could
not provide for them; yon can trust them in
the hands of the God who owns all the har
vests, and the herds, and the flocks; but if you
could pay the premiums on a policy and neg
lect them, it is a mean thing for you to go up
to heaven while they go into the poor-house.
You, at death, move into a mansion, river
front, and they move into two rooms on the
fourth story of a tenement house in a back
street. When they are out at the elbows and
knees, the thought of your splendid robe in
heaven will not keep them warm. The minis
ter may preach a splendid sermon over your
remains, and the quartette may sing like four
angels in the organ loft; but your death will be
a swindle. You had the means to provide for
the comfort of your household when you left
it, and you wickedly neglected it. “O,” says
some one, “I have more faith than you; I be
lieve when I go out of this world the lord will
provide for them.” Go to Blackwell’s IslaDd,
go through all the poor houses of the country,
and I will show you how often God provides
for the neglected children of neglectful parents.
That is, He provides for them through public
charity. As for myself, I would rather have
the Lord provide for my family in a private
home, and through my own industry,
and paternal, and conjugal faithfulness.
Bnt says some man: “I mean in the
next ten or twenty years to make a
great fortune, and so I shall leave
my family when I jUthis world,
very comfortable.” How'|*j you know yon
| are going to live ten or twenty years? If we
could look up the highway of the future we
would see it crossed by pneumonias, and pleu
risies, and consumptions, and colliding rail
trains, and runaway horses, and breaking
bridges, and funeral processions. Are you so
certain you are going to live ten or twenty
years, yon can warrant your household' any
comfort after you go away from them? Be
sides that the vast majority of men die poor!
Two only out of a hundred succeed in business.
Are you very certain you are going to be one
of the two? Rich one day poor tee next. A
man in New York got two millions of dollars,
and the money turned his brain, and he died
in the lunatic asylum. All his prosperity was
left with tee business firm, and they swamped
it; and teen the family of tee insane man were
left without a dollar. In eighteen months the
prosperity, the insanity, the insolvency, and
tee complete domestic ruin. Beside that, there
are men who die solvent, who are insolvent
before they get under ground, or before their
estate is settled up. How soon the auction
eer’s mallet can nock tee life out of an estate.
A man thinks tee property is worth fifteen
thousand dollars; nnder a forced sale it bringB
seven thousand dollars. The business man
takes advantage of tee crisis, and he compels
tee widow of his deceased partner to sell out to
him at a ruinous price, or lose all. The stock
is supposed to be very valuable, hut it has
been so “watered” teat when the executor tries
to sell it he is laughed out of Wall street, or
the administrator is ordered by the surrogate
to wind up tee whole affair. The estate was
supposed at the man’s death to be worth sixty
thousand dollars; but after the indebtedness
had been met, and the hills of the doctor, and
the undertaker, and the tombstone cutter have
been paid, there is nothing left. That means
the children are to come home from school and
go to work. That means the complete hard
ship of the wife, turned out with nothing but a
needle to fight the great battle of the world.
Tear down the lambrequins, close the piano,
rip up the ax-minster, sell out the wardrobe,
and let the mother take a child in each hand
and trudge out into the desert of the world.
A life insurance would have hindered all that.
But, says some one: “I am a man of small
means, and I can’t afford to pay the premi
um.” That is sometimes a lawful and genuine
excuse, and there is no answer to it; but in
nine cases out ot ten when a man says that,
he smokes up in cigars, and drinks down in
wine, and expends in luxuries enough money
to have paid the premium on a life insurance
policy which would have kept his family from
beggery when he is dead. A man ought to put
himself down on the strictest economy until he
can meet this Christian necessity. You have
no right to the luxuries of life until yon have
made such provision. I admire what was said
by Rev. Dr. Guthrie, the great Scottish preach
er. A few years before his death he stood in
a public meeting and declared: “When I
came to Edinburg, the people sometimes laugh
ed at my blue stockings, and at my cotton um
brella, and they said I looked like a common
ploughman, and they derided me because I
lived in a house for which I paid thirty-five
pounds rent a year, and oftentimes I walked
when I would have been very glad to have a
cab; but, gentlemen, I did all that because I
wanted to pay a premium on a life insurance
that would keep my family comfortable if I
should die.” That I take to be tee right ex
pression of an honest, intelligent, Christian
Underwriters and the convention of chiefs of
the fire department have effected through
your suggestion and through your encourage
ment. We are inde.ted to you forwhatyou
“ J r s

And weare indebted to you for the successful
demands you have made for tee repeM of urn
jmit laws—for the battle you have waged
against incendiarism and arson—for the fe»l
Mow you have given to the theory that corpor
ations have no souls, by the cheerfulness and
promptitude with which you haTe
from which you might have escaped through
the technicality of tee law. Ido not
any class of men in our midst more high-
toned and-worthy of confidence than these
men, and yet I have sometimes feared te'rt
while your chief business is to calculaw about
losses on earthly property, you m'ghtwithout
sufficient thought go into that which, in regard
to your soul, in your own parlance might be
called “hazards,” “extra hazards,” special
hazards.” An unforgiven am in tee soul is
more inflammable and explosive than cam-
phine or nitre glycerine. However tee rates
may be—yea, though tee whole earth were
paid down to you iu one solid premium you
cannot afford to lose your soul. Do not take
teat risk lest it be said hereafter that while in
this world you had keen business faculty,
when yon went out of tee world yon went out
everlastingly insolvent. The scientific Hitch
cocks, and Siilivans, and Mitchells of the
world have united with the sacred writers to
make us believe that there is coming a confla
gration, to sweep across the earth, compared
with which that of Chicago in 1871, and that
of Boston in 1872, and that of New York in
1835, were mere nothing. Brooklyn on fire!
New York on fire I Charleston on fire! San
Francisco on fire! Canton on fire! St. Peters
burg on fire! Paris on fire! London on fire!
The Andes on fire! The Appennines on fire!
The Himalaya on fire! What will be peculiar
about the day will be that the water with which
we put out great fires will itself take flaine,
and the Mississippi, and Ohio, and the St.
Lawrence, and Lake Erie, and the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans, and tumbling Niagara,
shall with red tongues lick the heaven. Tne
geological heats of the centre of the world will
bum out toward the circumference, and the
heats from the outside will bum down from
the circumference to the centre, and this world
will become not only according to the Bible,
but according to science, a living coal—the liv
ing coal afterward whitening into ashes, the
ashes scattered by the breath of the last hurri
cane, and all that will be left of this glorious
planet will he the flakes of ashes fallen on
other worlds. O! on teat day will you he fire
proof, or will you be a total loss? Will you
be rescued, or will you be consumed? When
this great cathedral of the world, with its pil
lars of rooks, and its pinnacles of mountains,
and its cellar of golden mine and its upholstery
of morning cloud and its baptismal font of the
sea shall blaze, will you get out on the fire
escape of the Lord’s deliverance? Oh! on that
day for which all other days were made, may
it be found that these life insurance men had
a paid-up policy, and these fire insnrance men
had given them instead of the debris of a con
sumed worldly estate a house not made with
hands eternal in the heavens!

. The utter indifference of many people on
this important subject accounts for much of
tee crime and pauperism of this day. Who
are these children sweeping the crossings with
broken broom and begging of you a penny as
yon go by? Who are these lost souls gliding
nnder the gaslight, in thin shawls? Ah, they
are the victims of want; in many cases the
forecast of parents and grandparents might
have prohibited it. God only knows how they
struggled to do right. They prayed until the
tears froze on their cheeks; they sewed on the
sack until tee breaking of the day; hut they
could not get enough money to pay the rent;
they could not get enough money to decently
clothe themselves; and one day in that
wretched home, the angel of parity and the
angel of crime fought a great fight between
the empty bread-tray and tee fireless hearth,
and the blackwinged angel shrieked: “Aha!
I have won the day." Says some man: “I
believe what yon say; it is right and Christian,
and 1 mean sometime to attend to this matter."
My friend, you are going to lose the comfort of
yoor household in the same way the sinner
loses heaven, by procrastination. I see all
around me the destitute and suffering families
of parents who meant some day to attend to
this Christian duty. Daring the process of
adjournment the man gets his feet wet, then
comes a chill and delirium and the doleful
shake of the doctor’s head, and the obsequies.
U there be anything more pitiable than a wo
man delicately brought up, and on her marri
age day by an indulgent father given to a man
to whom she is the chief joy and pride of life
nntil the moment of his death, and then that
same woman going out with helpless children
at her back to struggle for bread in a world
where brawny muscle and rugged soul are nec
essary—I say if there be anything more pitia
ble than that I do not know what it is. And
yet there are good women who are indifferent
in regard to their husband’s duty in this re-
speet; and there are those positively hostile,
as though a t life insnrance subjected a man to
some fatality. There is in Brooklyn to day a
very poor woman keeping a small candy shop
who vehemently opposed the insurance of her
husband’s life, and when application had been
made for a policy of ten thousand dollars she
frustrated it. She would never have a docu
ment in the house that implied it was possible
for her husband ever to die. One day, in quick
revolution of machinery, his life was instantly
dashed out. What is the sequel? She is, with
the annoying tug, makiDg the naif of a miser
able living. Her two children have been taken
away from her in order that they may be
clothed and schooled, and her life is to be a
prolonged hardship. O, man, before forty-
eight hours have passed away, appear at the
desk of some of our great life insurance com
panies, have the stethoscope of the physician
put to your heart and lungs, and by the seal of
some honest company decree that your chil
dren shall not be subjected to the humiliation
of financial struggle in the days of your demise,
Bat I mnst ask the men engaged in life in
snrance business whether they feel the impor
tance cf their trust, and charge them I must
that they need Divine grace to help them in
their work. In this day, when there are so
many rivalries in your line of business, you
will be tempted to overstate the amount of as
sets and the extent of the surplus, and you will
be tempted to abuse the franchise of the com
pany and make up the deficits of one year by
adding some of the receipts of another year;
and you will be tempted to send out mean,
anonymons circulars derogatory to other com
panies, forgetful of the fact that anonymous
communication means only two things—the
cowardice of the author and the inefficiency of
the police in allowing such a thing to be dated
anywhere save inside of a penitentiary. Under
the mighty pressure many have gone down,
and you will follow them if you have too much
confidence in yourself and ao not appeal to the
Lord for positive help. But if any of you be
long to that miscreant class of people who,
without any financial ability, organize them
selves into what is called a life insurance com
pany with a pretended capital of two hundred
thousand doUars or three hundred thousand
dollars, then vote yourself into the lucrative
position, and then take all the premiums for
yourself, and then, at the approach of the State
Superintendent, drop all into the hands of
those life insurance undertakers whose busi
ness it is to gather np the remains of defnnet
organizations and bury them in their own
vaults—then, I say, you had better get out of
the business and disgorge the widows’ houses
you have swallowed. But my word is to all
those who are legitimately engaged in tee busi
ness—you ought to be better than other men,
not only because of the responsibilities that
rest upon you, but because the truth is ever
confronting you that your stay on earth is un
certain and your life a matter of a few days or
years. Do not those black-edged letters that
come into your office make you think? Does
not the doctor’s certificate on the death claim
give you a thrill? Your periodicals, your ad
vertisements, and even the lithography of your
policies warn you teat you are mortal. Ac
cording to your awn showing, the chances that
yon will die this year are at least two per cent.
Are you prepared for the tremendous exigency ?
The most c mdemned man in the judgment day
will be the unprepared life insurance man, for
the simple reason that his whole business
was connected with human exit, and he can
not say “I did not think.” His whole busi
ness was to think on that one thing. O,
my brother, get insured for eternity! In
consideration of what Christ has done in your
behalf, have the indenture this day made out,
signed and sealed with the red seal of the
cross.
But I have words of encouragement and
comfort for those of my hearers who are en
gaged in the fire insurance business. Yon are
ordained by God to stand between us and the
most raging element of nature. We are in
debted to you for what the National Board of

Remedy, for a case of
Chronic Nasal Catarrh which
they cannot cure.
SYMPTOMS OF CATABBM.—Dull,
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages, discharges falling from the head
into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are
weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing
in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of offensive
matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the
voice is changed and has a nasal twang; the
breath is offensive; smell and taste are im
paired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough and gen
eral debility. Only a few of the above-named
symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms, re
sult in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and
dangerous, or less understood by physicians.

Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures the worst
cases of Catarrh, “ cold In the head,”
Coryza, and Catarrhal Headache.
Sold by druggists everywhere; 50 cents.
“Untold Agony from Catarrh.”
Prof. W. Hausner, the famous mesmerist,
of Ithaca, N. Y., writes: “ Some ten years ago
I suffered untold agony from chronic nasal
catarrh. My family physician gave me up as
incurable, and said I must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sun
set, my voice would become so hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In the morning
my coughing and clearing of my throat would
almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, In three months. I was a well
man, and the cure has been permanent.”
“Constantly Hawking and Spitting.”
Thomas J. Rushing, Esq., S902 Pine Street,
St. Louis, Mo., writes: “ 1 was a great sufferer
from catarrh for three years. At times I could
hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking
and spitting, and for the last eight months
could not breathe through the nostrils. I
thought nothing could be done for me. Luck
ily, I was advised to try Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe
it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now
manufactured, and one has only to give it a
fair trial to experience astounding results and
a permanent cure.”
Three Bottles Cure Catarrh.
Eli Robbins, Runyan P. O., Columbia Co.,
Pa., says: “My daughter had catarrh when
she was live years old, very badly. I saw Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro
cured a bottle for her, and soon saw that it
helped her; a third bottle effected a perma
nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and
sound and hearty.”
