THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10. 18*7.
Farmers in Convention.
The Incidents »r>d Accidents of the
farm.
[CONTIMUED FKOM LAST WBBK. ]
The old dispensation has vanished, the new
order of affairs is full of contradictions and
surprises: what would grandpa say to buying
fertiizers a"d paving everv darky that worked
on the farm? What would he think of hun
dred-acre watermelon patches, car-loads of
garden truck hauled a thousand miles and a
money crop crming in 4 h of July? He would
■ay that the farmer who did not raise every
kind of provender for man and beast, could
not make any money, yet some of the most
prosperous farmers live out of the grocery and
market house, and do not own any stock ex
sept a butgy horse, a Jersey cow and the mules
on their farms, and they have capital to ad*
vance 10 the laborer. The South thinks that
Colton is ki g, the West believes that corn is,
hat the managers of the world’s commerce and
•xcbanges know that cash is kiDg.
In casting sbont for the betterment of our
•ondition, we find that success comes from ex
periment, judgement and management; if there
was no departure from old forms and tradi
tions, we would still carry the meal in one
side and a reck m the other end of the bag,
plow with a forked stick and pick the lmt from
the seed cotton with our fingers. No genera
tion of people will ever be able to prove it to
be a fact, tho’ they may congratulate them
selves that "we are the people and wisdom will
41, with us;" human virtue and ingenuity
■hould be equal to human necessity—how to
make the farm pav, is to put the right man on
it. Nothing venture, nothing win, is a st rring
sentiment while the abuse of it has led to
much moral and material shipwreck; yet with-
eut it, Columbus would never have discovered
America, nor Washington wi n our liberty.
We have experimented with farmers clubs,
As grange, and are now trying camp meetings
—may we all be converted irom the error of
oar ways. The memory of the Grange, like
the voice of an old friend and the sound of dis
tant music, comes fl >aling back in the recollec
tions of the songs we sung, the speeches we
heard, and the splendid dinners we ate: in that
organic ition we round the wa cbword and le
ver in co ‘iteration that moves the world, but
lost the ful r :m by i. d flerenre;. nd indiscre
tion; brave words can not become great deeds
without material assistance; it was a step in
advance of similar associations, the romance
of farmers clubs and the Me noir of financial
circles, the souvenir of good intentions and
pleasant, recollections.
We have experimented with mineral fertili
sers; the eartn has been dosed with salads,
•pices, sauc-s and ragouts, in the shape of pot
ash, pnosph irio acid, sn phates and nitrates,
but where vegetable matter was left out of pro
portion in the compound, the old mother has
been rendered dyspeptic, because the humus
has been dissolved and die imposed too rapid
ly; abundance of vegetable matter should be
the object, with no more mineral than will ren
der fruitful, aid digestion and be readily as-
aimil »ted. The Carolina phosphates combined
with cotton seed meal and potaeh, furnish the
finest fertilizer for the cost, known to our ex
perience: as cotton seed meal is not too abun
dant, the phosphates are mixed with fish
scrips, slaughter house scrapings, tons of land
plaster, salt, kainit and we fear much country
dirt no richer than it should be, and it be
hooves superintendents of experimental sta
tions and analytical chemists, to give se called
fertilizers full, fair and complete tests in
tbs soil and laboratory; tanners insist
and expect them to do their whole
dsty in the premises; they are the sentinels on
the watchtowers of progressive farming, and it
is their duty to see that alleged fertilizers do
■ot prove to be tons of malodorous sand.
Sternal vigilance is the price of fertile fertili-
sera Much can be done to insure quality and
save expense by buy ing the ingredients and
■sizing on the farm.
If the Grange did not originate, it did assist
and emphasize the legislation that led to the
inspection of fertilizers, and the regulation of
railroad freights and charges; by the same
token it raised a storm of opposition from
those who were reduced Gf their profits and
“stinted of their sizings.” The wisdom of
■uchg legislation is demonstrated when we no
longer tine on the market a fertilizer that an
alytes 60 per cent of sard; when even the
Age of Sieel longs for more "Granger It gisia-
tion” that will enable manufacturers to ship
their goo Is to distant markets without paying
avty all the profits in transportation; but
when railroads charge four dollars a ton to
haul a ton of cotton-seed meal sixty miles,
where there is no competition, they do not ap
pear to be trammeled by a railroad commis
siou, when it is known that they haul a ton
of phosphate nearly 600 miles for five dollars,
where there are competing lines to reduce
rates. .
Why is it that utterances aid efforts to
curb the exactions of an aggressive minority,
lighten oi eroos burdens and dispell the blight
of monopoly, are denounced as agrarian ideas?
When did great corporations ever fail to have
their representatives in State and national leg
islative halls? When will farmers learn the
same lesson?
There is a tradition that the Romans once,
and once only, asked an old farmer naxed Cin
cinnatus to stop plowing his oxen and come
to town and lead the sages and simpletons. It
is said Gov. Brown once plowed a steer and
Garfield drove horses on a canal, but when
was the man who plowed a mule, asked to stop
his felicitous occupation and s ep up higher?
History is silent on the subject—more’s the
pity. Taikiug’j cheap, takes mrney to buy
land, and the land should have representation.
“Man Is burn on absttlefleld. Buind h'm. to rend
O reslsr, the dread Pow-rs he dl.places aiterd;
His own m tier fle>ee N tur<* b-rseif, is bis f >e;
her forces dispute 11> commune;
Her snows tall to freeze him; her suns hum to
braod.
Tbe star, keep their secrets, the earth hides her
own,
And bo u must tbe man be wbo braves tbe un
known
If it atru n has to art or to science been given,
Bat brows n-vs acned for It, and souls tolled and
striven.”
From the cradle to the tomb the necessities
of life are thundering action in our ears, indo
lei ce, want of foresight and management, mur
der action; the will to do, guided by the intel
lect to direct, has overcome obstacles that ap
peared insurmountable, actieved vetories
where defeat was thought to be inevitable, and
brought great results where failure was ex
peeled.
Energy makes the word of to-day become a
deed to-morrow, transforms the wish of the
present into reality in the future; and the
promise that was made by faith to the ear, is
iBlfilled to the hope.
Farmers are said to—
“testter plenty o’er s smiling land
Asd read their history In s nation's eyes.”
The materialists of other vocations think
farmers find a place in the nation’s eyet-
by pietical license alone. We, say
the statesmen, make the lawa and
the history of yqur country. We,
■ay the artisans, capitalists and scientists, by
our brains and money change your raw mate
rial into things of nse, necessity and luxury;
so wags the world, each sounding bis own
praise, partly right, partly wrong, forgetting
that each is dependent on the other. The far
mers of the North are scattering bountiful food
over tho quarrelsome countries beyond the sea,
while those of the South are making it possible
for the ladies of the land to array themselves
in twenty yards of calice at the cost of one
dollar Wall Street tells us that since the
war we have made four bi lion dollars wotth
ef cotton, and still borrowing money at high
rates of i itorest; four billion dollars!, that s
enough mooey to buy a planet; let’s quit mak
ing cotton for glory and work for profit.
Producers of raw ma'erial have rarely re
ceived the credit or profit that was due to their
efforts; farmers are time on ths roll, as bread
winners, but last on the roll of heroes. ‘‘The
world forgetting and by the world forgot,”
they f.re like the private soldiers of our armies
who win the victories, but whose commanding
generals receive the praise.
Tha great need of Southern planters is
cheaper rates of money to carry on their busi
ness.
We would not intimate that any one present
ever borrowed money for that purpose. Oh,
do. present company a'ways, excepted, but
those fellows down the river, up the road and
across the creek, need it. and they ought to
get it cheaper. The upper crust of planters do
not need help, but how about the under crust
who are wage earners, and tha middle million
who are money winners? there is the gold
mine of capitalists, commission and a Ivan ting
merchants Capital, to a great extent, is
North and East, crops are South and West,
wide apart and far away, but yet so near; for
tunes are paid to the chaperons and go-be
tweens who introduca capital to crops, and
both are shorn of profits that are paid to an
army of shops and talent, that stretches from
Liverpool to New Orleans. Capital puts mill
ions in Southern railroads that pay no divi
dends to stockholders, Southein land declares
an annual dividend in cotton bales. When
will capital in first hands deal directly with
cotton planters? Is it to go on forever as at
present? Wh>n every commission and ad
vancing merchant, on the first of September
staggers under the load of acceptances, for
money borrowed from banks, on farmers notes
and liens as security; banking on tbe farmers,
credit aud capital, and charging nigh rates of
interest and commission for so doisg. These
are questions that the economists of profit and
masters of finance might well ponder aDd an
swer with practical effort for mntn&l benefit.
More competition, more channels for the dis
tribution of money, less tax on the distribu
tors, for tbe distributees have all the tax to
pay, as the consumer always pays the freight.
In its final analysis, the gold of conquest is
the blood of the brave, but the gold of the
world’s industries, is the sweat of the poor,
and the brains of the able and enterprising:
the farmer at his plow, and tbe miner in his
pit, the two greatest producers of raw material
for the world’s wealtn, give Bweat value for all
'he riches they wring from the earth; when
praise is sung or profit is counted, should di
vide with the manufacturers and manipulators,
of wbat they have brought to light. But man
is a vampire, a parasite, that will live upon his
fellows when opportunity offers or can be oc
casioned: call the rod of every vocation, even
that of farming, and see if man does not flour
ish by the necessities of others; “in the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread,’’ is a divine
c iminand, but human inclination prompts man
to earn his biead by the sweat of every other
face except bis own: whoever succeeds in
such eff rts, is thought to illus rate the superi
ority of brains over muscle, mind over matter
In every calling human nature crops out alike,
farmers are stirred to action by their necessi
ties, wish to reap the greatest renumeration
f >r their to.l, and would take a dollar a pound
for cotton, if they could get it; so with ail
classes, none except the ladies, labor all for
love and nothing for reward; all take what
they can get and are only controlled by com
petition and supply, which regulates the de
mand and sets a limit to the price of every
thing. Diversify.
A new order of affairs requires a new de
parture in management—keep up with the pro
cession or be ran over; the farmer who feeds
himself and others, changes place with the cap
italist, becomes his own merchant; a variety of
products for a diversity of producers; the
North loved grass, and grew rich raising it,
the South hated grass, and flourished by its
death, but no w we might let grass grow, and
raise the stock that cotton does not leave mar
gin to buy.
Have twenty years of tribulation taught us
nothing? Is there no profit in our experience?
Are we ready to hear the Son .h say “farewell,
a long farewell to all my greatness " No, we
would be dngenerate sons of illustrious sires to
admit it: altho’ our fond wishes have withered,
bright prospects beeti blasted and like Dead
Sea fruit, turned to dust and ashes on onr lips,
hope is still left which is the moving principle
of life; necessity the mother of invention, the
will and inclination still exists
“To gather wealth by every way,
That’s justified by honor,’’
that can sause our people to raise up from the
ashes of poverty, and meet the emergency that
rests upon them. Let the love we have for onr
native land, tbe reverence we owe our ances-
iors buried in its soil; let the memory of past
happiness the hope of future reward, the fear
of imperding evil and the love for all we hold
sacred and dear, move os to action and help
us
“To fling from our spirits their burdens
And acquit us like men and be strong,
With fl icks gladden meadow and mountain
With tinkling herds speckle each hill.
And blend with he i plash of the fountain
The rumble and roar of the mill."
Cood Farm Buildings.
A farm may have good buildings, which from
neglect run down and get out of repair. That
we do not call good farming.
Cood Farming.
J. W. Stone, of Reed Creek, in Elbert coun
ty, Georgia, says be has twenty acres of cotton
that will make twenty bales, if no disaster, be
fall it
Pure, Clean Water for Cows.
An old milkman says in the Country Gentle
man: Use cleanlineis; never mix warm ard
cold milk; see ihat the animal heat is taken out
before starting with the milk; know that your
cows have pure, clean water to drink.
Be Sure to be Thorough.
Agricultural schools, and those where the
different trades are taught, are the sign-boards
pointing the way out of many difficulties.
Teach a young man to be a thorough farmer,
8tt ck raiser, manufacturer, and you give him a
confidence in his own ability to accomplish
something in life. Many of our young pi ople
are at sea without a rudder; they, having stud
ied many things partially, are incapacitated to
take charge of ai.y fcusiue s.
A New Industry
Col. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, is
planting a great d j al of lar d in evi-r blooming
mul erries, and says he will go extensively in
the business. Col Smith eays tbe mulberry
makes the most lasting pos s and cross ties
known, and is also of most rapi 1 growth. He
thinks fiat cross tie limber is getting so scarce
that it will have to be cultivated, and says that
one acre of land planted in trees suitable for
this purpose will pay better than cotton, or
anything else you can grow.
Value ef Cood Schools.
A good school adds to the value of the pro
perty in any district. Any business farmer
will admit the truth ef this proposion. De
sirable tenants, or these who wish to bay pro
perty and build up ths neighborhood, always
want their children educated. Those who (i
not care about ibis are better left out Every
voter in the district should take an interest in
the school. When left to run itself, it will
quickly give the district s bad name. It can
only be improved and maintained by constant
watchfulness.
Largest Orange Tree.
Fort Har'ey, aoout three miles north of Wal
do, in Florida, is noted for tbe largest orange
tree in the Slate It is now the property of
Mr R. W. i an pbeli, railroad agent at Waldo.
It has Dever been .fleeted by the colds or frosts
It measures nine feet aronnd the trank, is
thirty-seven feet high, and has four forks
eighteen inches from the ground. The two
largest measures four feet aroni d, the two
smallest three feet six inches. It was dam
aged by fire a few years ago, hut is now as
vigorous as ever. I' hts b'nip 10000 oranges
in a single yea:.—Altoona Register.
m$ of €t)ougf)t.
Those that place Uleir hops in another world
have, in a great measure, conquered dread of
death, and unrecaonable love of life.—Alter-
burg.
To be free-minded and cheerfully dispoaed
at hours of meat, sleep and exercise, is one cf
the best preoepbi of long lasting.—Lori Bacon.
Call not that man wretched who, whatever
ills he suffers, has a child to love.—Southey.
Contentment is a pearl of great price, and
whosoever procures it at the exposure of ten
thousand desires makes a wise and a happy
purchase.—J. Balguy.
Inquisitive people are the funnels of eonver
nation: they do not take in anything for their
own use, but merely pass it to another.—Steele.
Let ns live like those who expect to die, and
then we shall find that we feared death only
because we were unacquainted with it.—Wale.
False men are not to be taken into confi

Cunou0 factss.
There are but two gun foundries in the
United States, one at West Point and the other
at Boston.
California intends to beat the cheap labor of
Spain in raisin growing, by labor-saving ma
ehmery which will stem, grade, pack in boxes
and fan the fruit by steam power, at one run

Eighty five persons climbed up Mount Blanc
last year, ten of whom were American’s thirty-
oi e Frenchmen, twentv-tive English, seven
Swiss, six Germans, two Russians, two Swodes,
one Italian and one Belgian.
A well digger at Cave Springs, Mo., after
digging down twenty feet, came upju a cave
which nas been explored for a quarter of a mile,
and is said to be particularly interesting and
beautiful on account of its abundant stalactites
and stalagmites.
It is found that walls of good, hard-burned
bricks, in good mortar, will resist a pressure of
1600 pounds per square inch, or 218 300 pounds
per square foot, aud it requires a 1,600 feet
height of 12-inch wall to crush the bottom cours
es, allowing 136 pounds as the weight of each
cubic foot.
In 1860 Chicago had less than 30,000 people,
Philadelphia 340,000 and New Tork 616 000; in
1880 Chicago had c03 000 Philadelphia 847,000
aud New York 1206 000. In ,ther words,
Chicago, notwithstanding its enormous growth,
had not added as many thousands as either of
.he older ci ies.
At the present time the number of deaf
mutes in the wirld is estimated to be from 700,-
000 to 900,000, and of these some sixty-three
per cent, are said to be born deaf, the others
losing their hearing by different causes. In the
care and education of this vast number about
400 institu'ions only aye provided, containing
less than 27,000 inmates of both sexes and em
ploying some 2,000 teachers. .
It is pointed out that the British Empire ex
tends over a far lai ger territory than that which
was governed by ancient Rome, the superficies
of the latter being 1,600,000 sqnare leagues
No English speaking peop e is under foreign
rule, whilst Bnlian governs nearly 300,000,000
individuals belonging to all nations aud speak
ing all the languages of the world, as, for in
stance, Germans (Heligoland), Spaniards
(Gibraltar), Gre-ks, Italians, Turks (Cyprus),
Arabs (Aden), Dutch (Africa), French (Mauri

Why thev speak of a sleeping car as a
“sleeper”—A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A
sleeper is that on which the sleeper which car
ries the sit eper wh le he sleeps runs. There
fore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the
sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper un
der the s eeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps off the sleeper and wakes the
sloeper in the sleeper, by sti iking the sleeper
under the sleeper, and there is no longer any
sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper,.
$i£toricaI.
Bricks were first used in England by the
Romans, and in 1625 Charles I. fixed their regu
lar Bize.
Air ballons were invented by Gusmac, a
Jesuit, in 1729. and aevived by Montgolfier, in
France, in 1/83.
The saucer now calling to mind a hollow dish
in which a teacup is plaoed was formerly used
to hold cooked vegetables, or "sauces,” as they
were called.
The corner stone of the old Capital, was laid
bv Gen. Washington, on the 18to of September,
1792. This building was set on fire by the
British in the war of 1814, at the conclusion of
which it was rebuilt. The wings were added in
1851, on Jnly 4, the anniversary of the Declar
ation of Independence.
Charles the V. is said to have first bronght
short hair into fashion, when, afflicted with se
vere headaches, he had his locks clipped as
close as might be. The Cavaliers more than
ever oheriehed their Sowing curls, distinguish
ing themselves markedly from their opponents,
the Parliamentarians, who shaved close, and
earned the names of Crop-ears and Round
heads.
At Russel, in the year 1549, cats formed part
of an orchestra which performed before Philip
II. of Spain. A bear was seated on a great
car at the figure of an organ, which instead of
pipes, had twenty cats of different notes and
siz s shut up in small cages with their tails out,
aud attached to tbe register of tbe organ in
such a manner that when the bear pressed the
keys, tbe tails of the nnlncky cats were palled,
and the cats began to squeal. n
The famous Douglas family of Scotland,
owes tbe foundation of i s fame to James Doug-
la>t surnamed The Good, who commanded the
left wing of Brace’s army at Bannockburn, in
1314. It was dignified by an earldom in the
laitor half of the same century, a marqnisate
in 1633, and obtained dneal distinction with tbe
third Marqnis of Donglas. The latter, how
ever, was the only bearer of tbe ducal title
which b'-came extinct on bis death, in 1761.
I Had a Dreadful Cough,
and raised a considerable amount of bljod and
matter; besides, I was very thin, and so weak I
could scarcely go about tbe house. This was
the case of a man with consumption arising
trom liver complaint. He recovered his health
completely by the use of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden
Meuical Discovery.” Thousands of otiers
bear similar testirn* ny.
From Japan.
The Japan Flour Manufacturing Company
intend to ship some samples of fl *ur to Vladiv
ostok with the view of supplying Russian
troops.
The Japanese Government has been asked by
the oum niitee of the International Exhibition,
to be opened in Paris m 1890, to send exhibits.
According to a native paper, Sir Frarcis
Plui ket has presented his Majesty, the Mikado,
with a piano.
Lung roubles and Wasting
Diseases can be cured, if properly treated in
time, as shown by the following statement from
D. C. Freeman, Sydney; “Having been a great
sufferer from pulmonary attacks, and gradual
ly wasting away for the past two years, it af
fords me pleasure to testify that Soott’s Emul
sion of Cud Liver Oil with Lime and Soda has
given me great relief, and I cheerfully recom
mend it to all suffering in a similar way to my
self. In addition I would say that it is very
pleasant to take.”

A woman’s temperance building association
has been incorporated in Chicago in order to
put up a national headquar-en and hall for the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. The
site has been secured in the heart of the city, and
$600 000 of bonds will be issued to oover the
cost. It is expected to have a rental of $136,-
000 a year from the offices that will be let.
Conarass'onal Library Building.
The plans for the new congressional library
bnilding provide for an immense structure,
larger than any other public building in Wash
ington except the Capitol, which will be corn-
pitied in five or six years, provided the funds
are promptly voted by Congress.
TALMAGE'S SERMON.
FITS: All Fits stopped free by Dr. Klines’
Great Nerve Restorer. No Fits after first day’s
use Marvelnm cures. Treatise and 2 00 trial
b-utle free to Fit cases. Send to Dr. Kline,
931 Arch St. Pnila. Pa.
Thb Hamptoss, Sept. 4.—The Rev. Dr. T.
DeWitt Talmage’g text to-day was from Solo
mon’s song, chapter vi, v. 8: “There are
Three Score Queens.” Following is the sermon
in foil:
So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth the im
perial character of a true Christian woman.
She is not a slave, not a hireling, not a subor
dinate, bat a q .een, and in my text Solomon
sees sixty of tuese helping to make up the roy al
pageant of Jesus, in a former sermon 1
showed yon that crown and courtly attendance
and imperial wardrobe were not necessary to
make a qneen, but that graces of the heart and
life will give coronation to any woman. 1
showed yon at some length that woman’s posi
tion was higher in the world than man’s, and
that although she had often been deni/ d the
right of suffrage, she always did vote and al
ways would vote by her influence; and that her
chief desire ought to be that she should have
grace rightly to rale in the dominion which
she has a ready won. I began an enumeration
of some of her rights, and this morning I re
sume the subject.
In the first plaoe, woman has the special and
the superlative right—not again going back to
what I have already said—woman ha the spe
cial and superlative right of blessing and com-
lorting the sick.
What land, wbat street, what house has not
felt the smi ings of disease? Tens of thousands
of sick-beds I What shall we do with them?
Shall man, with his rongh hand and clumsy
foot, go stumbling aronn-1 the sickroom trying
to soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate
the pains of the tossing patient? The young
man at college may Bcoff at the idea of being
under maternal influences; but at the first blast
of the typhoid fever on his cheek, he says:
“Where is mother?” Walter Scott wrote
partly in satire and partly in compliment when
he said:
“O, woman, in onr hoars of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please;
When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering angel thou.”
I think the most pathetic passage in all the
Bible is the description of the lad who went
out to the harvest field of Shunem and got sun-
struck—throwing bis hands on his temples and
crying out, “Oh! my head! my head!” And
they said, “Carry him to his m ither.” And
then the record is: “He sat on her knees till
noon, and then died.’’ It is an awful thng to
be ill away from home in a strange hotel—once
in a while men coming in to look at you, hold
ing their hand over thtir month for fear they
will catch the contagion. How roughly they
turn yon in bed! How loudly they talk! How
you long for the ministries of home! I knew
oue such who went away from one of the
brightest of homes, for several weeks’ business
absence at tha West. A telegram came at
midnight that he was on his death bed, far
away from home. By express train the wife
and daughters weDt westward; bat they went
too late. He feared not to die, but he was in
an agony to live nntil his family got there.
He tried to bribe the doctor to make him live
a little while longer. He said: ‘Tam willing
to die, but not alone." But the pulses flutter
ed, tbe eyes closed and the heart stopped. The
express trams met in the midnight; wife and
daughters going Westward—lifeless remains of
husband and father coming Eastward. Ohl it
was a sad, pitiful, overwhelming spec acle I
When we are sick we want to be sick at home.
When the time comes for ns to die, we want to
die at home. The room may be very humble,
and the faces that look into oars may be very
plain; but who cares for that? Loving hands
to bathe the temple; loving voices to speak
good cheer; loving lip*-to read the comforting
promises of Jesus. In onr last dreadful war
men cast the cannon; men fashioned the mus
ketry; men cried to the hosts, ’ Forward-
march I” men hurled their battalions on the
sharp edges of the enemy, crying, "Charge!
charge 1” Bat woman scraped the lint; woman
administered the oordials; woman watched by
the dying conch; woman wrote the last message
to the home circle; woman wept at ths soli
tary burial attended by hereell and four men
with a spade. We greeted the general home
with brass bands and triumphal arches and
wild huzzas. But the story is too good to be
written anywhere, save in the chronicles of
HeaveD, of Mrs. Brady, who came down
among the sick in the swamps of Chickahom-
ini; of Annie Ross, in the cooper shop hospi
tal; of Margaret Breckinridge, who came to
men who had been for weeks with their
wounds undressed—some of them frozen to
the ground, and when she turned them over
those that had an arm left waved it and filled
the air with their “hurrah!" Of Mrs. Hodge,
who came from Chicago with blankets and
with pillows, until the men shouted, “Three
cheers fir the Christian commission! God
bless the women at home," then, sitting down
to take the last message: “Tell my wife not
to fret abont me, bat to meet me in heaven;
tell her to train up the boyB whom we have
loved so well; tell her we shall meet again in
the good land; tell her to bear my loss like the
Christian wife of a Christian soldier;” and of
Mrs. Shelton, into whose face the convalescent
soldier looked and said: “Yonr grapes an!
cologne cured me.’’ Men did their work with
shot and shell and carbine and howitzer; wo
men did their work with sosks, and slippers,
and bandages, and warm drinks, and scripture
texts, and gentle strokicgs of the hot temples,
and stories uf that laud where they never have
any pain. Men knelt down over the wonnded
and said: “On which side did you fight’/”
W -men knelt down over h • wounded and said:
• Where are you hurt? What nice things can I
make for you to eat? Wuat makes yon cry?"
To-night while we men are sound asleep in our
beds, there will be a light in yonder loft; there
will be groaning down that dark alley; there
will be cries of dUtress in that cellar. Men
will sleep, and women will watch.
Again—Women has a superlative right to
take care of the poor. Tbe e are hundreds
and thousands of them all over the land. There
is a kind of work that men cannot do f >r the
poor. Here comes a group of little bate footed
children to the door of the Dorcas society.
They need to be clothed and provided for.
Which of these directors of baDks would
know how many yards it would take to make
that little girl a dres>? Which of these mas
I’ulme hands coaid fit a hat to that little girl's
head? Which of the wise men would know
bow to tie on that new pair of shoes? Man
sometim/ s gives his ebari y in a rough way,
and it falls like the fruit of a tree in the east,
which frait comes down so heavily that it
bre*ks tbe sknll of tbe man who is trying to
gather it. Bat woman glides so softly into
the house of destitution, and fiDds ont all the
sorrows of the place, and pats so qaie'ly the
donation on the table, that all the family come
ont to the frrnt steps as Bhe departs, expect-
that from uncer her shawl she will thrust ont
two wings and go right np toward heaven,
from whence she seems to have come down.
OI Christian young woman! if yon wonld make
yourself happy and win the blessing of Christ,
go ont among the destitute. A loaf of bread
or a bundle of socks may make a homely load
to carry, bnt the angels of God will come ont
to watch, and the Lord Almighty will give His
messenger hosts a charge, saying: “Look af
ter that woman. Canopy her with your wings
and shelter her from all harm.” And while
yon are seated in tbe house of destitution and
and snff*ring, tbe little ones around the room
will whisper: “Wh, is she? Ain’t she beau
tiful?” And K you will baton right sharply,
yon will hear dripping down through ths leaky
roof, and rolling over the rotten stairs, the
angel chant that shook Bethlehem; 1 Glo
ry to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will to men." Can you tell
■se why a Christian woman going down among
the haunts of iniquiiy on a Christian err«nd,
never meets with any indignity? 1 stood in
the chapel of Helen ‘Chalmers, the daughter
of the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, in the most
abandoned part of the city of Edinburg, and
I said to har as I looked aronnd npoL the fear
ful surroundings of that place: “Do yon
come here nights to hold a service?” “O,
yes," she said. “Can it be possible that you
never meet with an insult while performing
this Christian errand?" “Never,” she said,
“never” That young woman who has her
father by her side, walking down the street,
an armed police at each corner, is not so well
defended as that Christian womu.who goes
forth on gospel works intoAhe haoSti of iniq
uity, ^carrying the Bittles and bread. -God,
with the red right arm of His wra h omftgA*
tent, wonld tear to pieces anyone who shotild
offer indignity. He would smite him with
lightnings, and drown him with floods, and
swallow him with earthquakes, and damn him
with eternal indignation. Some one said: “I
dislike very much to see that Christian woman
teaching those bad boys in tbe mission school.
1 am afraid to have her instruct them.” “So,”
said another man, “1 am afraid they will nae
vile language before they leave the place.”
“Ah,” said the other man, “I am not afraid of
that. What 1 am afraid of is, that if any of
those boys should use a bad word in her pres
ence, the other boys would tear him to pieces
and kill him on the spot.” Taat woman is
the beet sheltered who is sheltered by the Lord
God Almighty, and you need never fear going
anywhere where God tells yon to go.
It seems as if the Lord had ordained woman
for an especial work in the solicitation of char
ities. Backed up by barrels iu which there is
no floor, and by stoves in which there is no
fire, and by wardrobes in which there are no
clothes a woman is irresistible; passing on her
errand, God says to hen “You go into that
bank, or store, or shop, and get the money."
She goes in aud gets it- The man is hard fisted,
bat she gets it. She coaid not help but get it.
It is decreed from eternity she shuuld get it.
No need oi your turning your back and pre
tending you don’t hear; jou do hear. There
is no need of your saying* you are begged to
death. There is no need of yonr wasting your
time, and you might as well submit first as last.
You had better right away taka down your
chesk-book, mirk the number of the check,
fill up the blauk, sign your name and hand it
to her. There is ni need of wasting time.
Those poor children on tne back street have
been hungry long enough. That sick man
must have soma farina. That consumptive
must have something to ease bis couga. I
meet this delegate of a relief society coming
out of the store of such a hard fisted man, and
I say, “Did you get the money?/ “Of course,”
she says, “I got the money; that’s wuat I went
for. The Lord toid me to go in aud get it, and
He never sends me on a fool’s errand ”
Again: I have to tell you that it is a woman’s
specific right to comfort under the stress of
dire disaster. She is called the weaker vessel;
but all profane as well as sacred history, at
tests that when the crisis comes she is better
prepared than man to meet the emergency.
How often yon have seen a woman who seemed
to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence, who,
under one stroke of calamity changed to a he
roine. Oh, what a great mistake those busi
ness men make who never tell their business
troubles to their wives! There comes some
great lues to their store, or some of their com
panions in business play them a sad trick,
they carry the harden alone. He is asked in
the household again and again: What is the
matter? bnt he believes it a sort of Christian
duty to keep ail that trouble within his own
soul. Oh, sir! your first duty was to tell yonr
wife all about it. She, perhaps might not
have disentangled yonr finances, or extended
your credit, but she would have helped you to
bear misfortunes. You have no right to carry
on one shoulder that which is intended for
two. There are business men here who know
what I mean. There came a crisis in your af
fairs. You straggled bravely and long; bm
after awhile there came a day when you said:
“Here [shall have to stop,” aud you caled in
your partners, and you cabled to tbe most
prominent men in your employ, and you said:
“ We have got to stop ’’ You left the store
suddenly. You could hardly make up your
mind to pass through the street and over on
the ferry boat. You felt every bocy would be
looking at you, and blaming you, and denounc
ing you. You hastened home. You to d
your wife all about the affair. What dil
she say? Did she play the butterfly? Did
she talk about the silks, and the ribbons,
and tbe fashions? No. She came np to the
emergency. She quailed not uuder tne
stroke. She helped you to begin to plan right
away. She offered to go out of the comforts
ble house into a -mailer oue, and wear tbe old
cloak another winter. She was one who un
derstood your affairs without blaming you
You looked upon wbat you thought was a thin'
weak woman’s arm holdiug you up; but while
you looked at that arm, there earns into the
feeble mnscles of it the strength of the e ernal
God. No chiding. No fretting. No telling
you about the beautiful house of her father,
from which you brought her ten, twenty, or
thirty years ago. You said: “Well, this is
the happiest day of my life. I am glad I have
gotten from under my burden. My wife don’t
care—I don’t care.” At the moment yon
were utterly exhausted God sent a Deborah to
meet the host of the Amalekites and scatter
them like chaff over the plain. There are
sometimes women who sit reading sentimental
novels, and who wish that they had some
graud field in which to display tht ir Christian
powers. O, what grand and glorious things
they coaid do, if they only had an opportunity
My sister, you need not wait for any such
time. A crisis will come in your affairs.
There will be a Thermopyl* in yonr own
household where God will tell yon to stand
There are Mores and hundreds of households
to-day where as much bravery and courage are
demanded of women as was exhibited by
Grace Darling, or Marie Antoinette, or Joan
of Are.
Again, I remark, it is woman’s right to bring
to os the kingdom of heaven. It is easnr for
a woman o be a Christian than for a man
Why? You say she is weaker. No. H*r
heart is more responsive to the pleadings of
divine love. She is in vast majority. The
fact that she can more easily become a Chris
tian, I proved by the statement that three-
fourths of the members of the churches in all
Chris endom are women. So God appoints
them to be the chief agencies for bringing this
world back to God. 1 may stand here and say
the soul is immortal. There is a man who
will re fate it I may stand here and say we
are lost and undone without Christ. There is
a man who will refute it I may stand here
and say there will be a judgmeu' day after a
while. Yonder is some one who will refate it
But a Christian woman in a Christian house
hold, living in the faith and tbe coi sistency of
Christ’s gospel—nobody cao refute that. The
greatest sermons are not preached on cele-
nrated platforms; they are preached with an
audience of two or three, and in private home
life. A consistent, consecrated Christian ser
vice is an unanswerable demonstration of God’s
truth.
A sailor came slipping down the ratline one
right, as though something had happened, and
the sailors cr ed: “Wbat’s the mattei?" H-
said: “My mother’s prayers haunt me like a
gh )8t” Home influences, consecrated, Curia
tian home influences, are the mightiest of all
influences upon the soul. There are men here
to-lay who have maintained their integrity,
not because they were any better natural) i
than some other people, but because there
were home influences praying for them all tbe
time They got a good start. They were
launched on the world with the benedictions
of a Christian mother. They may track Sibe
rian suows, they may plauge in African jun
gles, they may fly to the earth’s end—tuey
cannot go so *ar and to fast but the piayers
will keep up with them.
I stand before women to-day who have the
eternal salvation of their hnsbands in their
right band. On the marriage day y ou took an
oath before men and angels that y ou would be
faithful and kind until death did you part, and
I believe you are going to keep that oath; bui
after that parting at the door of the grave, will
it be an eternal separation? Is there any such
thing as an immortal marriage, makiug the
flowers that grow on tip of the sepulchre
brighter than the garlands which at the marri
age banquet flooded the air with aroma? Yes;
1 stand here as a priest of the most high God,
to proclaim ihe bands of an immortal union
for all those who join hands in the grace of
Christ. O woman, is your husband, your
father, your sou, away from God? The L«ord
demands their redemption at your hands.
There are prayers for you to offer there are
exhortations for you to give, than are exam
ples for you to set, and I aay now as I’»ul said
to the Corinthian woman: “What knowest
thou, O woman, but thou canst save thy hus
band?”
A man was dying, and he said to his wife-
Rebecca, you wouldn’t let me have family
prayers, and yon laughed about all that, and
yon got me away into worldliness, aad now I
am going to die, and my fate is sealed, and yon
are the cause of my mint” O woman what
knowest thon bnt thon canst destroty hy
husband? Are there not some here who have
kindly influences at home? Are there not
some here who have wandered far aw*y from
God, who can remember the Christian infln
enoe in their early home? Do not despise
those influences, my brother. If you die with
out Christ, what will you do with your moth
er’s prayers, with your wife’s iinportuniiies,
with your sister’s entreaties? What will you
do with the let’era they used to write you,
with the memory of those days whin thev at
tended yon so kindly in times of sickness?
Oh, it there be just oue strand holding yon
from floating c ff on tha: dark sea I would
just like, this morning, to take hold of that

Lastly: 1 wish to say that one of the specific
rights of woman is, through the grace of
Christ, finally to reach heaven. O, what a
multitude of women iu heaven, Mary, Christ’s
mother, in heaven; Elizabeth Fry iu heaven;
Charlotte Elizabeth in heaven; the mother of
Angus ine iu heaven; the countess of Hunting
don—who told her splei.d d jewels to build
chapels—In heaven; while a great many others
who have never te-n heard of on earth, or
known but little, have gone into the rest and
peace ot heaven. What a rest! What a chance
it was from the small room, with no fire and
one windo v, the glass broken out, and the
aching side, aud worn-out eyes, to the * house
of many mansions!” N j more stitching until
twelve o’clock at night. No more thrusting of
the thumb by tbe employer through the work
to show that it was not done quite right.
Plenty of bread at last. Heaven for aoning
heads. Heaven for broken hearts. Heaven
for angnish-bitten frames. No more sitting
np till midnight for the coming of staggering
steps. No more rough blows across the tem
ples. No more sharp, keen, bitter curses.
Some of you will have no rest in this world.
It will be toil, and s'raggle, and suffering, all
the way np. You will have to stand at your
door fighting back the wolf with your own
hand, red with carnage But God has a crown
for you. I want to resi ze th s morning that
He is now making it and whenever you weep
a tear He sets another gem in that crown,
whenever you have a pang of body or soul. He
puts another gem in that crown, until, after
a while, in all the tiara there wid be no room
for another splend ir, and God will say to His
angel: “The crown is done; let her up that
she may wear it.” And as the Lord of Right
eousness puts the crown up n your brow, an
gel will cry to angel: “Who is she?” and
Christ will say: “I will tell yon who she Is.
Sne is the one that came up out of great tribu
lation, and had her robe washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb.” And thin
God will spread a banquet, and He will invite
all the principalities ot heaven to sit at the
feast; and the tables will blnsh with tbe best
c.asters from the vineyards of God, and crim
son with the twelve manner of fruits from the
Tree of Life; and waters from the fountains of
the rock will fltsh from the goldea tankards;
and the old harpers of heaven will sit there,
making music with their harps; and Christ
will point you ont amid the celebrities of
heaven, saying. “She suff red with Me on
earth, now we are gi ing to be glorified togeth
er ” And the banqueters, no longer able to
hold their p»ace. wil break forth with congrat-
u ations: ‘Hail! Hai!” And there will be
handwritings on the wall—not such as struck
i .he Persian nobleman with horror, but fire-
tipped fingers writing in blazing capitals of
lignt and love and victory, “God hath wiped
away all tears from all faces!”
