6 THE SUNNY SOUTH ATLANTA, GA. SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1891. jgp^ THE BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful hands ir the rank*? of care Are strongest to labor and bravest to bear The beat of t ie battle's strife; Blu er the glar-* * ! the noonday sun They’re toiling ii* nuti till the day is done, To lighten tiic burdens of life. Beautiful eyes are those that see Through the radiant veil of charity The loveliest deeds of earth. Beauiilni faces, those that wear JTor the glad a smile, for the sad a tear, That are bright with tne soul’s true worth Beautiful ftet that with mercy are shod, When the paths of prayer and duly are trod, Shall enter a btautiful rest. Beautiful thoughts are those that rise Bike an hoiy incense toward the skits, From actum untroubled breast. Beautiful lines are those that bear A fruitage of gold through their toil and care From blossoms of fragrance and light. Beautiful deeds at morn or at even Are the ste» Ping stones that lead to Heaven When the aay has taken its flight. Beautiful mounds are where grasses wave O’er the hearts of the true, o’er the hands of the brave That are folded in slumber so deep, As ’he glories of sunset in the west. Bo they 4 ift away into ai earn less rest— O beautiful, beautiful sleep! Hala J. Hammond. ECHO, GROTTO AND THE PRO PHETIC VISION. f Mother Hubbabd: There are two high peaks among the Cluihowee Mountains of East Ten- met see which tower far above otuers of the same range. At the base and between thtse two peaks is a cavern or tunnel that is lined on cither side and above with solid rock, forming a wall sixty to seventy feet high and three bun dred feet fiom one entrance to the otner. This cavern hss become a great curiosity to those who have v.siied it from the fact thut any sound produceu within it is ecuoed some twenty tincl times beiore the sound is iO*t to the ear ; and the last echo produced sounds like some person standing by >ourside whispering in the car. Ann it is said tnat tne wnu man of the mountains, whose Home for forty years vas cavern near mis place, would visit Echo tavern to eonvCiSe wun ibe spirit ol the one he loved and iost in b.s yt uihiui uays, and repeat tne Wires— ‘1 love you’*—and he imagined that sne was iirestut standing by his side ana repeating the worns *1 love you.” It may be tnat sume of the Household would like to have the History oi this wild man learned it from tnose mountain people Using near nis Heirnit Home and w hat caused him to live this desolate lne with no companions hut the wiid beasts ol lne »orest.

Tne Cincinnati South ern west of tue Tennessee river, the East Ten nessee, Virginia aud Georgia following the meandering of that stream, tne Knoxville Boutheru running close to tne foot of the Cnil- howee mountains until it strikes the niwassee Gap.

There should be no otaer limitation Facts upset alt sorts of theories.

Pull away!” I see the oar blades bend in the strong pall of the oarsmen. Then they come ap to the wreck. The woman is frozen. She drops into the wave —alas! poor woman—and washes out to sea. But then Mr. Ancient says: “There Is a man yet hanging to the rigging. Pall away, my lads! puli away!” They come up, and he says: “Hold now there five min utes and we will save you. Steady I steady) Now give mo your hand. Leap! Thank God, he is savedl Thank God, he is saved!” So there are men now in the breakers. They have made a shipwreck of life. While we come out to save them, some are swept off-swept off before we can reach them—ami there are others still hanging on. Steady there among the slippery places! Steady! Leap into this lifeboat! Now is your chance for heaven I This hour some of you are going to be saved. Far away from God, you are going to be brought nigh. “Other sheep have I which are not of this fold.” Christ says that ministers of the Gospel Brooklyn, Jan. 1L—The following pow erful sermon, addressed to non-church goers, was delivered by Dr. Talmage this J are to be fishers for men.

I was too busy to do more than listen to the balance of you Again, when Mother Hubbard wanted me to give my ideas of ‘ woman's work,” I wanted more loan ever to respond. First of all 1 want to speak to Clarissa Johns. “A fellow lieling, you know. Clarissa. I have been interested in alt your accounts of your self. I know eveiy fool of the path you are treading. Long ago Clarissa, 1 was brought to a r. ablation of the value of tbat.early discip line of trial, and hardship, aud struggling as pirations. It will all be clear to yon, some day. Molly, the mue, died, but you have your brother yet. My brothers, three ol them, were taken, in the prime of manhood, when, it seemed to me I needed them most, and I was left, with an un finished education, my aged parents aud young sister dependent upon me. Maybe Molly” would have "eaten her head off " beiore spring. Then yon have a home though a mortgagt d one. I used to think a mnrtgaged home wouid be b: tter loan a rented one. 1 am so glad your mother is belter. You have her presence and her counsel. Be content. My mother has re cently gone from me. My heart cnet out with pain when 1 think 1 cannot see her again. Yet, when I leflect that she has gone to a better home than was heis >n eaiih, where she will never be tired any more, 1 think it selfish that I wanted to keep her. You said to Zirdne. "If you don’t aeem to need help, plenty will be offered you.” My experience is just the opjosite. My help always sesmed lo come when I need-d it most, and from qu.iters so unexpected I was bound to believe it providential. When difficulties come up now, 1 know there is a way out, and nothing daunts me. I have leaned that best science, ‘ To extract sunshine irom a cloudy way.” “It ia a grand and comely thing to be unhappy And we think it is because BJ many grand and Clever people gave found res sons for unhappiness, Te* since we are not grand Met ns try to be as happy at we can."

Must I answer now? Then I’ll say the lilies have bloomed and gone and I am stiil engaged in the "tastle” business—dreaming of great things to be done by aud by. I do not negicct the duties and little kin messes thut gi by each day, but these do not interfere witli my day-dreaming.

I had a letter today from Mr. B He acted so gentlemanly when he went away, wro'.e to mamma, aud asked pei miss ion to correspond with me so unlike other boys— far instance the one across tne school-room, the one I met at the picnic, aud not again till I entered school a lew weeks ago. We are the best oi Mends, and I like him better every day. Bat Oh, 1 s sail never fofgfct the happy days of the past summer, could tell you lots, my Journal, but the lips re fuse to form what the heart holds most sacred. April 2, .3.—How time flies, what changes can be made in a year. How sad is my heart today. The friend 1 loved so dearly is goue, gone where we can never see her on ehrth again. It is well ior her, for he whom she learned to love was unworthy of so pure a geun Alls wicked life was revealed to all savehat.

May 4.—One ye-r yesterday since I began my ourual and now little have i written, wnile my ife baa been lull of VarLd scenes. Mr. B has beeu to see me several times, which has made Tom very jealous. My friends call me a flirt, and mamma had the minister to Ulkwiia me; but I do not mean to deceive either ol them. 1 like them both when 1 am witn them. Mr B. did no: wish me to go with Tom so much: but 1 know ne goes with otner gins. I gave Torn a lovely bouquet the otner evening going irom achoul. Oh, dear, I hard y know what to do If I had never met Mr. B. Iknow I should have fallen iu love »ith Tom Mamma likes Tom best; says although his manners are not so cultured, hi haa more character. 1 know he thinks less of self.

I took pleasure In teasing him al the way home. , 1 have not written to Mr. B. In two weeks. H “1 don’t believe good cream ir.jures, said a well-known caterer to a Cincin nati Time Star reporter. “Why, we get doctors’ prescriptions nearly every day for cream ior sick persons, especially thoss affected with fevers, in such cases we send a waiter every now aud then with a very small quantity to the sick room. We have families who order their cream for supper just as regularly as they do their bread and meat. “They have done this for years, and the season apparently makes no differ ence with them. To many people the eating of ice cream after a dinner is as customary as the drinking of coff ee. My experience is that people who eat ice cream have a much richer complexion than those who don’t- Jewish people eat more ice-cream than any other na tion, and they have a splendid name for obevingtho laws of health.” “Wnat flavor is the most popular,” asked the reporter. “Vanilla jBffrst, and then comes straw berry and chocolate ” “When do people eat ice creamf” “Usually for olnnerand supper. There is very little lunching in tne winter. At this season of the year cream should be eaten on a full stomach.” The reporter next sought the chief of a large hotel. “Where would yon place ice cream on a menu?” asked the re- j porter. j “In an ordinary dinner it is served with other dessert, but in a really artistic hotel dinner or banquet I should place it just before the game, or in order to allow of an intermission between courses. Ice cream should be eaten deliberately for this very reason, as sbonid also sherbet and Roman pnneh. By the way, these latter desserts are often mistaken for ice cream, and are so called by many cooks. There are, however, six mixtures known to cooks as fancy ice creams. They are: Coffee parfait, peach pome, podding Nesselrode, tut'.i Jruttt, harle quin or Neapolitan, and frozen pudding. “The first of these is a mixture of sher bet and common ice-cream, half aDd half. Peach pome is an English desstrt made of peaches, brandy, and cream. Pudding Nesselrode ls a French compos! tion made of Spanish chestnuts and cream frozen together. Tntti frnttt is aii Italian dessert prepared by mixing dried frnits with ice cream. A great deal of this is made by Italian dealers in London. Harl« quin cream is simply a mixture of rea, white and green or brown colored creams after they have been frozen. Frtz u pudding is formed of assorted frnits, flavored with Jamacla rum, and then covered with whipped ice cream. Ail of these fancy creams are molded Into artistic shapes beiore being served on the table.” “Yes, I am heartily in favor of eating ice cteam at all times, under all circnm stances, and in any quantity,” was the answer returned by Dr Cliley of thy Ohio Meoical college, to a question put to him by the reporter. “But mind, I said ‘ice-eream.’ By this I do not mean the different mixtures of milk, arrow root, and starch that are sold unoer this head, but 1 mean good, pure, wholesome Cream. To illustrate, let me tell you a story. Years ago there was a prominent caterer in this city who had the run on ice cream. One day a friend of mine went to him and asked if he would tell the secret of his success in this line. “Why, yes,’ replied the great caterer, ‘my plan is no secret. I use cream ’ ” Tne dtclor here went on to state that ice cream whien is commonly sold in cheap r< s anrants does not come under the class he had reference to when he said it 1b not harmful. Cheap creams are harmful and he advises patrons to buy the best, and as a test he says the person should partake of both classes of creams and then jbdga for himself. “How about icy- cream in sickness?” war the next question asked. “Many tlm»s,” replied the doctor, “I have considered the use of ice ert a n highly beneficial, especially in cases where the appetite is weak or does not exist at all. it creates an appetite and its nse marks the turning point in many diseases. I often prescribe ice-cream, always in small qnantities, and this ls the way I present the question to the friends or the patient. 1 say, ‘If he does not eat it yon can.’ ” fenced off all for ourselves. It is not a ting’s park, at which wo look through a barred gateway, wishing we might go in and pluck the flowers aud look at the deer and the statuary. It is a father’s orchard, and there are liars to let down and gates to swing open. In my boyhood days, next to the country school house where I went, there was an apple orchard of great luxuriance, owned by a very lame man who did not gather the apples, and they went to waste by scores of bushels. Sometimes the lads of the school, iu the sinfulness of a nature in herited from our first parents, who fell through the same temptation, would climb over the fence and take some of these .pples, aud notwithstanding the fact that there was a surplus, and ail going to waste, the owner of that orchard, reckless of mak ing his lameness worse, would take after these lads and shout, “Boys, drop those apples or I’ll set the dog ou you!” Now there are Christians who have se vere guard over the Church of God. They have a rough and unsympathetic way of treating outsiders. It is a great orchard [ into which God would like to have all the people come and take the richest aud the ! ripest fruit, and the more they take the | better he likes it. But there are those who stand with a hard and severe nut ore guard ing the Church of God, and all the time afraid that some will get these apples when they really ought uot to have them, rou ABE NOT GOD’S ONLY CHARGE. Have you any idea that because you were baptized at eight months of age, aud because you have all your life beeu sur rounded by hallowed influences, you have aright to one whole side of the Lord’s ta ble, spreading yourself out so nobody else can sit there? You will have to haul in your elbows, for there will come a great multitude to sit at the table and on both 8idcsof you. You are not going to have this monopoly of religion. "O; her sheep have 1 which are not of tiiis fold." McDonald, the Scotchman, in lost sheep on the mountains. And they are coming today. YOU ABE GOING TO BE SWErT IN. You are now this hour in the tide of Christian influences. You are going to be swept in; your voice is going to be heard iu prayer; you are going to be consecrated to God; you are goiug to live a life of useful ness, and your deathbed is going to besur- rounded by Christian sympathizers, and devout men will carry you to your burial when your work is done, and these words will be chiseled for your epitaph: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Aud all that history is going to begin today. “Other sheep have I which are not of this fold.” Christianity. I do not know wh through hearing Theodore Par or whether it was reading Rena Jesus,” or whether it was thr skeptic in the store or factory. you taking him Christian r< ■ I i that’s religion, I you said, “Well, l’t want any of it.” Christianity, but you frankly tell me you do reject it; you do not think the Bible t the word "f God, although there are man] things in it you admire; you do not think that Christ was a divine being, although you think he was a very good man. You say, “If the Uible be true—the most of the Bilile bo true—I nevertheless think the earlier part of the Bible is au allegory. And there are lifty things that I believe you do not believe. Nevertheless they tell mein regard to you that you are an ac commodating, you are an obliging person. tka deer, ne would hunt amid the boshes •nd the brakes longer for the lost game than he would look for a lost soul. They say if a man has had the delirium Semens twice he cannot be qured. it J ■U if a woman has fallen from intepwj tee cannot be redeemed.

We aggregate them, aud we think we are giving an intelligent aud an accurate account; but Christ comes and he says: “You have not counted them right. There are those whom you have never seeu, those of whom you have never heard. I have my children in all parts of the earth, on all the islands of the sea, on all the continents, in all the mountains and in all the valleys. Do you think that these few sheep you have counted are all the sheep i have? There is a great multi tude that uo mau can number. Other aheep have I which are not of this fold.” FROM ALL PARTS OF TIIE EART1L Christ in my text talks of tiie conversion of the Gentiles as coulidenily ils though they had already been converted. He sets forth the idea that his people will come from all parts of the earth, from ail ages, from all circumstances, from all condi tions. “Other sheep have 1 which are not of this fold.” In the first place I remark tiie Heavenly Shepherd will find many of his sheep among those who are at present non churchgoer of churches. Sometimes yon will tiud a church made up only of Christ ians. Every thing seems finished^ Tiie church reminds you of those skeleton plants from which by chemical preparation all the greenness and the verdure have been taken, and they are cold aud white and delicate and beau tiful and finished.

TO-iy myself, just try it?” “Well,” you say, “I have no objection to trying it; if it will be any satisfaction to you I will try it.” You take it. Now you are sick in disquietude, sick in sin. You are not happy. You laugh sometimes when you are miserable. There come surges of unhappiness over your soul that almost swamp you. You are unhappy, struck through with unrest. Now, will you not try this solace, this febrifuge, this anodyne, this Gospel medi cine? “Oh,” you -av, “I haven’t any faith in it.” As a matter of accommodation, let me introduce you to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Physician. “Why,” you say, “I haven't any faith in him.” Well, now, will you not just let him come and try his power ou your soul? Just let me intro duce him to you. I do not ask you to take my word for it. I do not ask you to take the advice of clergymen. Perhaps the clergymen may he prejudiced; perhaps we may be speaking professionally; perhaps we may give you wrong advice; perhaps we are morbid on that subject; so 1 do not •sk you to take the advice of clergymen. I ask you to take the advice of very re- There are different kinds j spectahle laymen, such as William Shakes peare, the dramatist; as William Wilber- force, the statesman; as Isaac Newton, the astronomer; as Robert Boyle, the philos opher; as Locke, the metaphysician; as Morse, the electrician.

Take the advice of ished—finished sermons, finished music, finished architecture, finished everything. Another church is like an armory, the sound of drum aud fife calling more re cruits to the Lord’s army. We say to the applicants, “Come iu and get your equip ment. Here is the bath in which you are to be cleansed, hero, is the helmet you are to put on your head, here are the sandals you are to put on your feet, here is the breastplate you are to put over your heart, here is the sword you are to take in your right hand and tight his battle with. Quit yourselves like men.” There are those here, perhaps, who say, “It is now ten, fifteen years since I was in the habit, the regular habit, of church going.” I know all about your case, lam going to tell you something that will be startling at the first, and that is that you are going to become the Lord’s sheep. “Oh,” you say, “that is impossible; you don’t know my case; you don’t know how far I am from anything of that kind.” I know all about your case. I have been up and down tbe world. I know why some of you do not attend upon Christian serv ices. COD IS CALLING TOO. Igo further, aud make another an nounce ment in regard to yon, and that is, you are not only to become tbe Lord’s sheep, but you are goiug to become the Lord’s sheep this hour. God is going to call yon graciously by bis spirit; you are going to these laymen. It does not make any differ ence to me at this juncture what you have xaid against tiie Bible; it does uot make any difference to t^e at this juncture how you may have caricatured religion. Take the advice of men who are prominent in secular affairs, as these men whom I have mentioned and others who immediately occur to your mind. You see I do not scoff at skepticism. I never scoffed at skepticism. I have been a natural skeptic. I do not know what the first w’ord was that I uttered after entering the world, but I think it must have been “why?” There were times when I doubted tbe existence of God, when I doubted the di vinity of Christ, when I doubted the' im mortality of the soul, when I doubted my own existence, when I doubted everything. I have been through the whole curriculum of doubt, and you can tell me nothing new about it. I have come out from a great Sahara desert into the calm, warm, sun shiny laud of the gospel. I know about tne other land. I have been there. You can tell me nothing new about it. And I know all about the other condition of which you do not know anything—the peace, the comfort, the joy, the triumph of trusting “ “°d uud in Jesus Christ whom he has sent. So I am not scoffing in regard to it. BELIEVE IN GOD’S LOVE. ^There are some things I believe that you —..j nj u.o j —„ — «> not, but there are some things that I come into the fold of Christ.

When the steamer Atlantic went to pieces on Mam Rock why did that brave minister of the gospel, of whom we have all read, go out in the lifeboat?

Court Councilor Meynert, professor of medicine at the university in Vienna, prevented recently from delivering one of his regular afternoon lectures, anil as the students were already assembled, his as sistant, Dr. Anton, undertook to hypnotize young woman for the instruction of the disappointed audience. Tiie young wom an was tall, slender, light haired, and some what over -0 years of age. Dr. Anton let his hand glide over her forehead, smoothed her eyelids with Lis fingers, touched he cheeks with soft, downward strokes, and then commanded loudly, “Now sleep.” She slept. “Your arms are completely crippled,” he •aid, and Loth arms sank limp to her sides. “What will you do now, poor creature, without any arms?” he asked. The girl raised her bowed head and began to weep and wail sa piteously that the students rose in theff places aud shouted that she must be restored at once to consciousness. Dr. Anton seized the young woman’s right arm, rubbed it smartly, aud sug gested: “You are all right now. Your arm is well again.” In the same instant the girl raised her arm with a triumphant expres sion of face. Dr. Anton then aroused her. To his and his auditors’ astonishment, however, the girl’s left arm still hung limp and apparently nerveless at her side. Ha had forgotten, in speaking colloquially, to tell her that her left arm, too, had recov ered its strength. He touched the helplesa arm and exhorted the young woman to raise it, but in vain. She couldn’t stir it an inch. Dr. Anton then explained that the stu dents had before them a case of “post hypnotic crippling,” which could be re moved only after the girl had been again hypnotized. He was unwilling to wi..^ the girl by bringing her immediately under his influence once more, so he deferred tha performance of the cure for several days. He said the girl was so subject to influence* that the regular ticking of a clock or tha monotonous ringing of achurch bell would ■office to hypnotize her.—New York Sun.
