6 THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, l**? Farmers in Convention. The'IIncidents and Accidents ol the farm. BT TOM DOOGINB. The Farmers’ Inter-State Convention, held in Atlanta from the 16th to 19th inclusive, was a notable assembly. We talked three days and two nights; and if we did not say as many wise things as Job and his friends in their remarkable conclave, we did not hold on as long. But we said enough to convince the world, beyond a doubt, that farmers think silence is silver and speech is golden. We addressed and essayed, wh<-reased and wherefortd, resoluted and resolved a plenty and enough to straighten out the kinks of a contrary, cranky, cross-grained world if it would only go as we said. Some thought that the great remedy for poor farming wae new legislation, more money and cheaper money, less tariff and less taxes, while a few admitted that individual effort had much to do with success. We were there from Virginia to Mexico. Some said it was good to be there, and wished to spend the summer; others said nay, folks are curious—tell bad tales about farming, the unexpjcted happened, and they would like to get away, while the Atlanta people would be happy if we would whoop up a big crowd for the Piedmont Exposition in October. They are wrestling with the “how to raise the wind” and the buildiDgs to hold the show; and a big show it will be with Cleveland as a central at traction. He will draw stronger than Jumbo. What did we do? Well, we talked. That’s what we went for, as the fellow said about marrying the girl. We orated and we norated; some told of i heir success in farming, which oth era called bragging; some opened bags of misery and trouble that many laughed at. While the best talkers and prettiest speakers did the least in the way of farming, it was called a Farmers’ Convention—variegated farmers. We aired our opinions and our grievances, and there was attrition and friction of ideas and notions. We shook up and brought down the house; sent word to our Uucle Sam that he must do better, and more of it for us boys; that we were the big end of the voters and he must listen at our racket; and then we went out and washed down our sentiments with lemonade and sweet ened wind (soda water), for be it known to ail the world, and especially Texas, that Atlanta is a dry town (except in spots), and a stranger from a damp State must carry his liquor ra tions with him. Our stay was short and—hot. If the States had only been willing to have paid the expenses of the delegates, we wouid not have been in such a hurry —we might have staid as long as the Georgia Legislature, and then adjourned in time to go to the Piedmont Exhibition. We did not get half through talk ing, the limited programme and a five minute rule to govern debate, were too short to allow that free and glorious flow of speech that we Americans delight in; as a sample ol what might have been said at that convention if there had been an opportunity given, listen: In discussing matters that relate to the farm, many things could claim our time and atten tion, whether we should plant cotton or cu cumbers, raise millet, cut grass for forage, or pull fodder; whether wheat top-dressed with salt, will prevent rust, or make the biscuit salty; shall we continue to wrap the cotton bales in bemp and jute or in coarse, heavy cot ton bagging and thereby utilize the surplus production of the staple; must we gee the mule by the command “right wheel,” or haw him around by “left oblique;” is it best to fertilize land, or move away to Texas, or is it good luck to stir soap with a sassafras stick 1 All these things might be debated with interest, but the more we entered into details, the more we would antagonize each other; as those who have opinions and occupy any space will jostle others, at the conclusion of the discussion it might be in order to ask, have we locked shields, or locked horns? Matters of greater interest weigh upon our hearts; how to prevent befog crushed by Kansas coin cribs, or slaugh tered by Chicago packing houses; how to wring the shekels from the aliens for our mon ey crops and escape financial cyclones in pri vate circles: we will be able to plow around bankruptcy, so long as we remember the tra ditions of the elders and stick to the pioneers bill of fare of coons and collards, goats and gophers, ’possums and potatoes, rabbits and roaoting ears, terrapin and turnips. What is farming? The syllabub farmer would say it was “tickling mother earth to make her laugh wiih a harvest;” the kid glove agriculturist would answer, it is the annual op eration of extracting the products of nature, but the ordinary individual would call it dig ging a living out of the ground. How it is to be done has engaged the atten tion of the Solons of every ag“—except Solon himself; the wisest men of all nations have written, sung and orated about the business— and worked at it as little as possible; they have bad great admiration for the plow, but none for the handles, sung grandly ol weeding out the fields and bringing in the sheaves, but always preferred to “lay down the shovel and the hoe.” Over the gymnasiums are grandiloquent mottoes in Latin that sound minds are to be found in sound bodies, b it no such hyferluiin phrases are to be found on farm gates and hoe-handles, but strictly business is written by the straight or winding fu*rows of the fields, where health and exercise are more abuudant anl beneficial than are trapeze or parallel bars. Gates and bars to the average tenderfoot, are made to swing on, and meet the girls in the twinkling star-light and sh mmering moonlight, not car ing for the fields of usefulness which they open, where the farmer boys— “Brushing with hasty steps the dews away. To meet the sun upon the grassy cotton patch.” As a sample of how sweetly the bards, who were not farmers, sung about them, and see how far they missed the mark, listen at Gray: “Far from the crowd’s Ignoble strife, rnelr sober wishes never learned to stray; Al -ng the cool seqiest’r’d vale ol life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.” Did you ever hear such taffy? Where is the farmer that does not raise a rumpus sometimes, go to all the barbecues, "gatherings,” political pow-wows and “whoop- ups” to be had? If he staid in the cool shady places all the time, the grass ran away with the crops. . JEsthetic farming is found with a “pretty little wife and a big plantation,” a long cotton row and a short grocery bill, abundance of prwer and diligence in business, then there will be peace, piety and plenty. The hopeful, buoyant boy-man is happy in anticipation who starts out in life with a lovely lassie, forty acres and a mule, and who, as he drives his team afield, sings gaily: ly cotton and his subjects have a time similar to the preachers monkey and parrot, “sashay ing” between the frying pan and the fire, “be twixt the devil and deep sea:” then piety takes a back-seat, “sweatin’ and swearin,’ ” hpld the front and he who “plods the plowman’s weary way,” is forced to exclaim, land of little rest and much tribulation 1 will the sun never set on a clean cotton crop and a clear cash ac count? Cotton planting must be the most profitable business on earth, to stand the tariff piled upon it by capital advanced to carry it on, and the disasters to which the crop is subject: the poor thing sits bald-headed in the field and takes everything that comes, from the frost of one spring, to the freeze of the next winter, floods, drouth, worms and “cold pizen.” The busi ness is the most comical cycloid, with the ups and downs of vicissitude, and parenthetical paradox, bulging with great expectations in the middle of the year, and coming out the little end of the horn at the close; it runs par allel with poverty and perpendicular to pros perity with unsung thousands; it has been the necropilis of the unsophisticated and '.he Geth- semane of the unteachable: if cotton is king, it pays more tribute than any other crowned head. We read of the success of Dickson, Furman and Richardson, with cotton; of Gould, Van derbilt and Sage with stocks—but who chroni cles the wails and lamentations of unnum bered lambs, who are torn by the bears of cot ton and stock market, and left as wrecks on the hill-sides and curb-stones? To all such the world offers the chilly consolation, that the “survival of the fittest,’’ is the rule that gov erns in business, while money-bags announces, “you pay your money, you take your choice’’ —in the meantime the thrif y, when crops are laid by, will sit in the -shade, eat a watermelon and listen to the ‘ short and simple annals 1 ' neighborhood chat. [ CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.] Of One of the best commercial fertilizers is ground bone. Honey made from the blooms of the palmet to and mangrove is considered the purest in the world. The actual weight of a big pumpkin at the office of the Indian River Real Estate Agency in Titusville, Fia., is 136 pounds, and measures 7 feet and 2 inches in circumference. Where The Horses Grow. Russia produces well toward half of all the hones of the world. The United States one- sixth cl all the horses of the world, and, with those produced in Canada, nearly one-fourth of those of the world. Patent Rice Beater. W. H. Shelter, of Oxford, patentee for a rice beating and cleaning machine, has just sold the patent-right to his said machine in and to three-fourths of the territory of the United States for a consideration of 15,000. About Trees. Next to our families, says Mr. Graham, of the Kans is Agricultural College, I hold trees as God’s pleasantest gift to man. It costs next to nothing to grow them, and it is a great deal easier to cut out the surplus than to grow others. How’s Your Milkmaid. A doctor who had been attending a dairy man’s hired girl called at the house the other day. “How’s your milkmaid?’’ he asked of the farmer when he came to the door. “It’s none of your business how our milk is made,” was the indig tant response, and the door slammed most emphatically. AlSuccessful Poulterer. A successful poultry raiser feeds wheat in the morning, barley at noon and wheat in the evening. In addition to the barley he gives the slops and refuse from the kitchen after boiling it The wheat gives a rich color to the yolks which is so much desired in the city where eggs are sold in retail markets. He says one great mistake many chicken raisers make is in feeding chickens too much, and this ac counts for their becoming diseased. Old and Thin Sheep. A sheep that has had no lamb ought at this season to be fat. If not, it is probably so old that its teeth are poor and digestion is impair ed. It requires careful management to get such an animal in good feeding condition. A very few oats given daily and increased very gradually is the best grain feed. Their bulki ness distends the stomach, and thus prevents the cloying sure to result from feeding corn. Old sheep should be fattened aud sold without loss of time. It will be d fficult to make them live through the Winter, and if they do they will not be worth as much next Spring as they are now. Cheese from Beans. Cheese made from beans is Urgely used in China For fertiliiy of expedient the almond eyed Celestial can double discount the most in genious Yankee. While such cheese would not seem to be very palatable or nutritious, yet it is said to be quite salable and profitable to the manufacturers. Introducing it into the Eng lish market is talked of. Owing to its low-price it will probably encroach io some extent upon the product of the old reliable cow. Poor peo ple will buy any thing cheap that is good to eat-. Their pecuniary condition compels them to do so, so this substitute will probably find a large sale. At all events it is extracted from a harm less substance.—Market Journal. “We’ll have a little farm, a pig and a cow- You’ll mind the dairy and I’ll mind the plow,” But if in the rolling years aud increasing re spensibilities, there is no increase of worldly goods, there is strong probability that there will be an over-worked woman and a disap pointed man. The day-dream of “love in a cottage,” in the morning of life, should have a symposium at the meridian, that realizes the “Out of the old house Nancy moved up Into the new.” Along with the aesthetics come the disgrun- tlements of farming, when a cold, sloppy win ter will persist in holding spring in his lap till she is half grown before she is weaned, then the rains of summer that make the grass writhe and twist around the crops, like the serpents around Laocoon and his sons; mules dying, hoe-hands demand a dollar a day, laborers run away, holding daily councils of war with hoes and plows, while General Green seems determined to make a hay-meadow of the blazing sunny south; his highness the king- What Ceneral Miles Said. General Miles in his speech in Atlanta be fore the Inter-state Farmers’ Convention talk ed tariff in an intelligent manner. The custom of the farmer who is unsuccessful—tracing all bis evils to the tariff of the dav, General Miles treats in a serious manner. He tells the far mer that the cry that the protective tariff is ruining him is nonsense. He shows that the tariff paid every year by the farmer on their bog meat and mule flesh is ten thousand times more than the tax imposed on - them by the tariff. General Miles is a sensible, practical farmer, and his words should carry weight. He sees little hope for the farmer who sits him self idly down and talks tariff all day instead of puttiog his shoulder to the wheel and taking such advantage of circumstances and conditions as any sensible man would do. Maintaining the Milk Flow. In estimating the value of extra feeding dur ing hot weather it is only fair that a large ad ditional allowance be made over the immediate gain, for if the yield of milk is allowed to de crease now it can never be fully recovered, though better weather and better feed are com bined afterward. Taking this view of the mat ter, scarcely any pains or expense will be con sidered too great to keep up a uniform flow from a really good milker. A diminution now may mean two, three or four quarts less every day for months, and. the destruction of much of the cow’s value as a milker. The evil probably goes still further than this, for, if a cow is al lowed to prematurely dry off through poor feed ing, the calf she is carrying at the time is also affected, and, if a heifer, has less milking ca pacity than it otherwise would have. When a cow suddenly falls off in her milk yield through poor feed or insufficient water, the owner takes alarm and begins to feed better. But the evil already done is largely irreparable. Heavier feeding for a partly dried-off cow means only an increased tendency to accumulate fat both in the cow and her off-spring. These are dan gers which require careful management to avoid. Hence it is not enough that a cow should have a good pedigree. Her owner and the owner o# the dam by which she is bred have quite as much to do with her value as a milker. It re quires care and painstaking as well as good original stock to breed valuable animals of any kind. <0em0 of €f)ougt)t. Let age,; not -envy, draw wripkk* on thy cheeks; be content to be envied, but envy not. v-Jsrrd Bacon. Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power, and consequently should not be any part of your concern.—Epictetus. Economy is the parent of integrity, of liberty and of ease, and the beauteous sister of tem perance, of cheerfulness, and health.—Dr. Johnson. There have been periods when the country heard with dismay that “The soldier was abroad.” That is not the case now. Let the soldier be abroad; in the present age he can do nothing. There is another person abroad, a less important person, in the eyes of some, an insignificant person, whose tabors have tended to produce this state of things. The schoolmaster is abroad.—Lord Brougham. The wise prove, and the foolish confess by their conduct, that a life of employment is the only life worth living.—Paley. Upon laying a weight in one of the scales inscribed eternity, though I threw in that of time, prosperity, affliction, wealth, and pov erty, which seemed very ponderous, they were not able to stir the opposite balanoe.—Addi son. Fortune has been considered the guardian divinity of fools, and, on this score, she has been accused of blindness; but it should rather be adduced as a proof of her sagacity, when she helps those who certainly cannot help themselves.—Colton. A good dee-1 is never lost; he who sows cour tesy, reaps iriendship, and he who plants kind ness gathers love.—Basil. A man’s own good breeding is the best secu rity against other people's ill manners.—Lord Chesterfield. Look over the whole creation, and you shall see that the band, or cement, that holds to gether all the parts of this great and glorious fabric is gratitude.—South. In the great majority of things, habit is a greater plague than ever afflicted Egypt; in religious character it is a grand felicity.— John Foster. Curious frtctg. A Houston, Tex., woman has a pet alligator that wags his tail when his name is called. In seven years a Michigan farmer has had seven horses killed by lightning. During the recent Indian raid in Arizona the Apaches traveled fifteen miles on tiptoe to hide their trail. Of the 6,400,000 foreign emigrants who have come to this country within the last fourteen years, 2,697,400 had no calling or trade. Several hundred clusters of grapes were bag ged by a Vineland fruit grower about a week previous to blooming as an experiment to as certain whether the fruit would properly set and develop. The success of the method has been demonstrated, as the clusters thus treated are in fine condition, free from the rot that is prevailing, and having escaped the rose-bug plague. ' The earth’s internal host is now being used in a practical way at Festh, where the deepest artesian well in the world is being sunk to sup ply hot water for public baths and other pur poses A depth of 3,120 feet has already been reached, and the well supplies daily 176,000 gallons of water, heated to 150 degrees F. In treating a negro in Leipsic for an ulcer ous affection, it was found necessary to replace portions of the skin with pieces taken from one or two white persons. These latter pieces Gradually grew darker in color, and finally as flack as the patient’s 6wn skin. This singular fait led to an experiment being made of trans posing portions of black skin on a white pa tient, and it was found that after a few weeks these began to grow pale. In less than four teen weeks they had, in fact, grown so white as not to be distinguishable from the patient’s natural skin. The fact is noted that—in climates having a difference of 70 degrees iu temperature between the hot aud cold seasons—a railroad track of the length of 400 miles is Borne 338 yards longer in summer than in winter; that is—though of course the length of road remains the same— expansion forces the metal closer together, making an aggregate closing up of space be tween the rails of nearly a yard >n each mile. $i£toricaI. James I. licensed Shakespeare's company to play at The Globe, London, in 1603. The oldest of the Oxford colleges connected with the university of that name was founded in 1172. The Alhambra, at Granada, that beautiful monument of Moorish architecture in Spain, was built in 1360. Poor Richard’s Almanac” was started at Philadelphia, by Franklin, in 1732, and contin ued in existence for a quarter of a century. The population of the American colonies a* the beginning of French and Indian War, in 1754, Mr. Bancroft estimates as 1,166,000 whites, 260,000 colored. John Hawkins, an English navigator, in 1662, brought a cargo of African slaves to the Wes tern Hemisphere. Ten years before a few neg roes had been sold in England. The Great phalanx consisted of 8000 men in a square battalion, with shields joined and spears crossing each other. The Macedonian phalanx was sixty-one deep, with shields join ed. The first English dukes were Edward, the Black Priuce. as Duke of Cornwall, and John of Gaunt, as Duke of Lancaster. The title was extinct in England during the reign of Eliza beth and until James I. made Villiers Duke of Buckingham, The first General Assembly, Rhode Island, met at Portsmouth, May 19, 164-5, established a code of laws, and erected an institution of civil government. Those taking part in this meeting were the colie itive freemen of the several plantations of the colony. Ivan, an infant, succeeded legitimately to the throne of the Russians in 1740; but Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, usurped tue crown 11741, and imprisoned, during her life, Ivan, his father and mother and family. Ivan was kept in a dark room and finally murdered by his guards. For the Sunny South. TO MR. ANDMRS W_C., OF CANADA.

M., a mining man in prosperous cir cumstances, took it into his head to get mar ried, and a short time ago advertised for a wife. Very soon he received a letter dated at Deni son, Tex , signed by Miss Annie Walker. They exchanged photographs, and the result was an agreement to meet in El Paso and have the cer- mony performed. They buh arrived here to day—Mr. Scott from Lake Valley, aud Mias Walker from Denison. The former went to the depot and met the lady, whom h9 imme diately recognized from the photograph. They jumped into a hack and drove to the office of Judge Falvey, who joined them in wedlock. The bride has been teaching school at Denison and ik about twenty-eight years old, and to night told the ladies at the hotel that she found Mr. Scott, who is about forty-five, all that her faLcy had painted him, and was happy. About as sure a way as any to abolish pover ty is to deposit earnings in the savings bank in stead of the saloon.

The Hamptons, August 28.—"Woman’s Op portunity” was the subject of discourse by the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D-, to-day, and his text, “So God created man in His own im age, the image of God created He him; male and female created He them—Genesis i:27 Following is the sermon in foil: In other words, God, who can make no mis. take, made man and woman for a specific work, and to move in particular spheres—man to be regnant in his realm; woman to be dom inant in hers. Tbe boundary line between Italy and Switzerland, between England and Scotland, is not more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculine and the empire feminine. So entirely dissimi lar are the fields to which God called them, that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the supe riority of one sex to the other sex is ait ever lasting waste of ick and speech. A jeweler may have a scale so delicate that he can weigh the dust of diamond?; but where are the scales so delicate that you can weigh in them affec tion against affection, sentiment against senti ment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a man’s world against a woman’s world? Yon come out with yonr stereotyped remark, the man is superior to woman in intellect; and then I open on my desk the swarthy, iron- typed, thunderbo.tad writings of Harriet Mar- tineau, and Elizabeth Browning, and George Eliot You come on with your stereotyped remark about woman’s superiority to man in the item of affection; but I ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John, the disciple; and Robert McCheyne, the Scotch man; and John Summerfiald, the Methodist; and Henry Martin, the missionary ? The heart of those men wae so large, that after you had rolled into it two hemispheres, there was room still left to marshal the hosts of heaven, and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intellectual. I deny to woman the throne affectional. No human phraseology will ever define the spheres, while there is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm, and when a woman is in her realm, and when either of them is out of it. No bungling legislature ought to attempt to make a definition or to say: “This is the line apd that is the line.” My theory is that if a woman wants to vote, she ought to vote, aud that if a man wants to embroider and keep house, he ought to be allowed to embroider and keep house. There are masculine women and there are effeminate men. My theory is that you have no right to interfere with any one’s doing anything that is righteous. Albany and Washington might as well decree by legis lation how high a brown-thrasher should fly, or how deep a trout should plunge, as to try to seek out the height or the depth of woman’s duty. The question of capacity will settle finally the whole question, the whole subject. When a woman is prepared to preach, she will preach, and neither conference nor presbytery can hinder her. When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial spheres, she will have great influence on the exchange, and no boards of trade can hinder ber. I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any barrier that politicians may set up, and that nothing can keep her back or keep her down but the question of incapacity. There are women, I know, of most undesira ble nature, wander pp and down the country— having no homes AT their own, or forsaking their own homes—talking about their rights; and we know very^weli that they themselves are fit neither to vote; nor fit to keep bouse. Their mission seems to be to humiliate the two sexes at the thought of what any one of us might become. No one would want to live under the laws that such women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such women would raise. But I shall show you this morning that the best rights that wo men can own, she already has in her posses sion, that her position in this country at this time is not one of commiseration, but one of congratulation; that the grandeur and power of her realm have never yet been appreciated; that she sits to-day on a hrone so high that all the thrones of earth piltd on top of each other would not make for her a footstool. Here is the platform on which she staoda. Away down below it are the ballot-box and the con gressional assemblage and the legislative hall. Woman has always voted and always will vote. Our great graLid-fathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presi dential chair. No. His mother, by the prin ciples she taught him, and by habits she incul cated, made him president. It was a Chris tian mother’s hand dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophized, and Alfred the Great governed, and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men there have been in high polit ical station, who would have been insufficient to stand the test to which their moral princi ple was put, had it not been for a wife’s voice that encouraged them to do right, aud a wife’s prayer that sounded loader than the clamor of partisanship! Why, my friends, the right of suffrage, as we men.exercise it, seems to be a feeble thing. You, a Christian man, come up to the ballot-box, and you drop your vote. R ght after you comes a libertine, or a sot, the off-.couring of the street, and he drops bis vote; and his vote counteracts yours. But if, in the quiet of home life, a daughter by her Christian demeanor, a wife by her industry, a mother by her faithfulness, casts a vote in the right direction, then nothing can resist it, and the influence of that vote will throb through the eternities. My chief anxiety then is, not that women have other rights accorded her; but that she, by the grace of G id,, rise up to the apprecia tion of the glorious rights sue already posses ses. This morniDg I shall only have time to speak of the grand and all-absorbing right that every woman has, and that is to make home happv. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night, and they tarry a comparative ly little while; but she ail day long, governs it, beautifies it, sanctifies it. It is within her power to make it the most attractive place on earth. It is the only calm harbor in this world. You know as well as I do, that this outside world and the business world, is a long scene of jostle and conten tion. The man whb has a dollar struggles to keep it; the man who has it not struggles to get it Prices up. Prices down. Losses. Gains. Misrepresentations. Gougings. Un derselling. Bayers depreciating; salesmen ex aggerating. Tenants seeking less rent; land lords demanding more. Gold fidgetty. Strug gles about office. Men who are in trying to keep in; men out trying to get in. Slips, Tum bles, Defalcations, Panics, Catastrophes. O, woman I thank God you have a home, and that you may be queen in it Better be there than wear Victoria’s coronet Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. Your abode may be humble, but you can, by your faith in God, and yow cheerfulness of demeanor, gild it with splendors, such as an npholster’s hand never yet kindled. There, are abodes in the city—humble, two-stories;. low plain,, unpa pered rooms; undesirable neighborhood; and yet there is a man here this morning who would die on that threshold rather than sur render it Why? If is home. Whenever he thinks of it, he sees angels of God hovering around it The ladders of heaven are let down to that house. Over the child’s rough crib there are the chantings of angels as those that broke over Bethlehem. It is home. These children may come up after awhile, and they may win high position, and they may have an affluent residence; but they will not until their dying day forget that humble roof, under which their father rested, and their mother sang, and their sisters played. O, if you would gather up all tender memories, all the lights and shades of the heart, all banquet- ings and re-unions, all filial, fraternal, pater nal and conjugal affections, and yon had only just four letters with which to spell out that height and depth, and length, and breadth and magnitude, and eternity of meaning, you would, with streaming eyes and trembling voice, and agitated hand, write it out in those four living capitals, HOME. What right does woman want that is grander than to be queen in suchaNirtlm? Why, the ebfelee Of heaved cannot fly across that domin ion. Horses, panting and with laffcored flanks, are not swift enough to run to tits' outpost of that realm. They say that the sun never sets upon the English empire; but I have to tell you that on this realm of woman’s influence eternity never marks any bound. Isarelia fled from tbe Spanish throne pursued by the na tron’s anathema; but she who is queen in a home will never lose her throne, and death it self will only be the annexation of heavenly principalities. , When you want to get your grandest idea of a queen, you do not think of Catherine of Rus sia, or of Anne of England, or Marie Theresa of Germany; but when you want to get your grandest idea of n queen, you think of the plain woman who sat opposite your father at the table or walked with him arm-in-arm down fife’s pathway; sometimes to the thanksgiving banquet, sometimes to the grave, but always together—soothing your petty griefs, correct ing your childish waywardness, . joining _ in your infantile sports, listening to your evening prayers, toiling for you with needle or at the spinning wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you up nnn g and warm. And then at last on that day when she lay in the back room dying, and you saw her take those thin hamla with which she toiled for you so long, and put them together in a dying prayer that commended you to the God whom she had taught you to trust. O, she was the queenl The chariots of God came down to fetch her, and as she went in all Heaven rose up. You cannot think of her now without a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep founda tions of your soul, aud you feel as much a child again as when you cried on her lap; and if you could bring ber back again, to speak just once more your name as tenderly as she used to speak it, you would be willing to throw your self en the ground and kiss the sod that covers her, crying “Mother! mother!” Ah, she was the queen—she was the queen. Now, can you tell me how many thousand miles a wo nan like that would have to travel down before she got to the ballot-box? Compared with this work of training kings and queens for God and eter nity, how insignificant seems all this work of voting for aldermen, and common councilmen, aLd sheriffs, and constables, and mayors, and presidents. To make one such grand woman as I have described, how many thousands would you want of those people who go in tho round of godlessness and fashion and dissipa tion, distorting their body until in their mon strosities they seem to ontdo the dromedary and hippopotamus, going as far toward dis graceful apparel as they dare go so as not to be arrested of the police—their behavior a sor row to tbe good and a caricature of the vicious, and an insult to that God who male them wo men and not gorgons, and i ramping on down through a frivolous and dissipated life to tern- poral and eternal damnation? O, woman, with the lightniDg of yonr sonl strike dead at your feet all these allnrements to dissipation and to fashion! Your immortal soul cannot be fed upon such garbage. God calls you up to umpire and dominion. Will you have it? O, give to God your heart; give to God your best energies; give to God all your culture; give to God all -your refinement; give yourself to Him, for this world and the next. Soon all these bright eyes will be quenched and these voices will be hushed. For the last time you wifi look upon this fair earth. Fath er’s hand, mother’s hand, sister’s hand, child’s hand will be no more in yours. It will be night, and there will come np a cold wind from the Jordan, and you must start. Will it be a lone woman on a trackless moor? Ah, no. Jesus will come up in that hoar and offer His hand, and He will say, “You stood by me when you were well—now I will not deser: you when you are sick.” One wave of His hand and the storm will drop; and another wave of His baud and midnight shall break into midnoon; and another wave of His hand and the chamber lains of God will come down from the treasure- house of Heaven with robes lustrous, blood- washed and Heaven-glinted, in which you will array yourself for the marriage supper of tbe Lamb. And then with Miriam, who struck the timbrel of the Red Sea, and with Deborah, who led the Lord’s host into the fight, and with Hannah, who gave her Samuel to tbe Lord, and with Mary, who rocked Jesus to sleep while there were angels ei :g ng in the air, and with Florence Nightingale, who bound up the battle-wouids of the Crimea, you will, from the chalice of God, drink to the soul’s eternal rescue. Oue twilight, after I had been playing with the children for some time, I laid down on the lounge to rest. The children said, play more. Children always want to play more. And, half asleep and half awake, I seemed to dream this dream: It seemed to me that I was in a far- distant land—not Persia, although more than Oriental luxuriance crowned the cities; nor the tropics—although more than tropical fruitful ness filled the gardens; nor Italy—aithongh more than Italian softness filled the air. ALd I wandered around, looking for thorns and nettles, but I found none of them grew there. And I walked forth and I saw the sun rise, and I said: " When will it set again? ’’ aud the euu sank not. And I saw all the people in holiday apparel, and I said: “When will they pul on working-man’s garb again, and delve in the mine, and swelter at the forge?” but neither the garments nor the robes did they put off. And I wandered in the suburbs, and I said: “Where do they bury the dead of this great city?” and I looked along by tbe hills where it would be most beautiful for the dead to sleep, and 1 saw castles, and towers, and battlements; but not a mausoleum, nor monument, nor white slab could I see. And I went into the great chapel of the town, and I said: “Where do the poor worship? Where are the benches on which they sit?” And a voice answered: “We have no poor in this great city.” And I wandered out seeking to find the place where were tbe hovels of the destitute; and I found mansions of amber, and ivory, and gold, but no tear did I see or sigh hear. 1 was bewil dered; and I sat under the shadow of a great tree, and I said: “What am I, and whence comes all this?” And at that moment there came from among the leaves, skipping np tbe flowery piths and across tbe spaikling waters, a very bright and sparkling group; aud when I saw their step I knew it, and when I beard their voices I thought I knew them; but their apDarel was so different from anything I had ever seen I bowed, a stranger to strangers. But after awhile, when they clapped their hands, aid shouted: “Welcome! welcome!” the mystery was solved, and I saw that time had passed, and that eternitv had come, and that God htd gathered us up into a higher hom$ and I said, “Are we all here?” and the voices of innumerable generations answered: “All here!” and while tears of gladness were raining down her cheeks, aud >he branches of the Lebanon cedars were clapping their bands, and the towers cf the great city were chiming their welcome, we began to laugh, and sing, and leap, and shout: “Home! hum 1 ! home!” Then I feit a chi ! d's hand ju my face, and it woke me. The children wanttd to play more. Children always want to p.ay more.

Useful wad Hsrital Medicines. ■ There Is a certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made in great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients. ' The damage (bey do to the stomachs of those who nss them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but always do so violently and profusely, and besides, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the Btomach. Better far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hostetteris Stomach Bit ters, the laxative effect of which is never pre ceded by pain, or accompanied by a convul sive, violent action of tbe bowels. .’On thaw contrary, it invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. As a means of curing and preventing malar.'al fevers, no medicine can compare with it and it reme dies nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other inorganic ailments. •Citi Time. t Dalij txo pi Sunday. t Mondays, Wednesdays aid Faldays.

Y. $500!™ is offered by the manufactur ers of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Bemedy, for a case of Chronic Nasal Catarrh which they cannot cure. SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.—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; tho 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. By its mild, soothing, and healing properties. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures the worst cases or Catarrb- “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. Rushino, Esq., rsos ptnc Street, St. Louis, Mo., writes: “ I 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 tho 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 Bottle* Cure Catarrh. Eli Robbins, Runpan P. O., Columbia Co- Pa., says: “My daughter had catarrh when she was five years old, very badly. I saw Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro cured a bottle for her, aud soon saw that it helped her; a third bottle effected a perma nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and sound and hearty.” BEAST! Mexican Mustang Liniment Sciatica, Lumbago, Rheumatism, Barns, Scalds, Stings, Bites. Braises, Banian^ Corns, CUHE!
