The citizens living in the suburbs of
Athens think that the walk now be
ing done, grading on upper Market
street, that is rarely ever traveled, had
better be put on main thoroughfares,
that are almost impassable.
We learn that the Kappa Alpha so
ciety of the State University are nego
tiating for the lot corner Iiroad and
Lumpkin streets and will also erect a
handsome club building, next to the S.
A. K.’s, Several thousand dollars have
already been subscribed.

Our city council now that they have de-
mol-ished the market house, should cer-
tainlyprovide some 'place where county
butchers can sell there meats. These par
ties sell meat always at a reduced price
and are a great^saving and convenience to
many of our citizens. They should net
he run out of the market, but every pro
tection given tliem. We believe in free
trade.
There is a strong feeling in Athens in
favor of putting down Belgian blocks on
our business streets. The city owns an
inexhaustible quarry at Lithnnia, from
which the stone can be secured. The
macadam put upon our streets has prov
• . a sad fraud. Capt C. G. Talmadge says
he will vote to-morrow to issue a quar
ter of a million in bonis to put upon our
streets.

One of the most liberal supporters of

ATTACKING THE MAFOIt
Some of Oar Aldermen OhJvct to the Em
ployment of Spies to Detect Blind
Tigers.
At the last meeting of our city council
quite a stormy little episode is reported
to hsva transpired that was not recorded
in the minutes of this body.
Alder Mureay, we learn, called the at
tention of that body to the fact that
MI ay or Hodson had been employing
spies for the purpose of ferretiug out
parties accused of violating the probibi
tion laws of this county and in the ea
Berness of one of the spies to secure con
victions, he had been watching several
highly respectable citizens. Alderman
Muraay condemned this practice.
Alderman-Dootson endorsed him, as
also Alderman McKinnon. The former
gentleman referred to the fact that more
than one good and highly respectable
citizen bad been watched and followed
by this spy and be thought it an outrage
on the liberty of our citizens.
Mayor Hodgson was equal to the oc
casion and asked Messrs. Murray and
Dootson if any “good and respected ci
tizen” had been arrested at the instance
of any spy for selling liquor?
The bill to |>ay Mr. Finley for detect
ing these violators of t he law was refer
red to the police committee.
As a majority of council sustained the
mayor in this matter, the bill will doubt
less be approved and paid.
A Banner-Watchman reporter inter
viewed Mayor Hodgson and found him
cool rnd determined, lie says he is de
termined to break-up the illicit sale of
liquor in Athena at all hazards and at
any cost. The business has gro
immense proportions and is destroying
the effects of our prohibition laws.
Athens is not yet ready to see her
laws overthrown and held in contempt
and any man attempts such will be de
tected and punished if possible. The
people of this city and county voted by
a large majority to prohibit the sale of
liquor and it would certainly be a nice
state of affairs if officers of the law be
prevented from taking any steps to de
tect and punish violators. There is no
danger of any good and law abiding ci
tizen being placed under the surveilance
of Spies. Unless there is strong reason
to believe that a man is violating the
prohibition laws, no spy would waste
his time in watching him.
Captain D. C. Oliver, chief of police,
says that he is determined to suppress
the liquor traffic in Athens and intend:
to do his duty it matters not whom it of
fends. The Captain says that if the
city council refuses to pay Mr. Finley
for his services that he will do so out of
his own pocket. If it|s necessity, to
hrexk up these blind tiger dens that he
will devote every dollar of his salary to
wards employing spies.
It is said that the negroes and also
some whites have made threats against
Mr. John Finley, for ferreting ont and
bringing to punishment these blind li
gers. They certainly do not know Mr.
Finley, or they will not dare attack hiln
to his face. There lives few braver
men* He has been in more than one
shooting scrape, and parties who know
him intimately say there is not a cow
ardly bone in his body.
The punishment of these blind tigers
have added about $5tK) to the revenue of
the city. We are getting our streets
'worked now at very little expense to the
txx payers. The good work has just
h iun and it is expected that each week
mil see new recruits added to the chain-

MINOR MENTION.
On two adjoining lots in this city there
sre living five couples sll of whom were
married since Christmas.
The stock law in tliisjcounty is working
nicely and all opposition to it has cessed.
Even our factory operatives we believe
are entirely satisfied. The stock law
must eventually sweep over Georgia and
those counties and districts that have
not adopted it had better fall into line.
Mr. Bloomfield has not as yet charged
his factory hands one cent for pasturage.
Outsiders he makes pay one dollars per
months but asks nothin ing the winter.
This is both kind and cheap.
Already there is a good deal of talk
about’who will be our next county officers
We do not suppose there will be any
coatest|only for clerk and ordinary. Sher
itl'Wier and Treasurer O'Fsrrell are too
strongly entrenched in the confidence
and good will to be jostled.
And speaking of this election we
would urge upon the chairman of our
county executive committee, the vital
importance of having a nomination this
year. It is an outrage and a shame if
we let this thing of suffrage battering
again prevail. There are hundreds of our
good :md decent citizens who will not go
to the polls if a “scrub” race is allowed.
Lumpkin street is still sighing for the
city force. It is one of the most public
thoroughfaro in Athens and an artery
through which a large amount of our
trade flows. It has been most sadly and
shamefully neglected, but it is hoped
that this year Chairman Barrow will give
it some attention.
A day or so since a wagon loaded with
corn mired down at a little bridge just
below Fairview, and the vehicle actually
had to be unloaded before it could be
removed. There are holes in this street
almost large enough to bury a wagon
The good people living on this thorough
fare, as also a large number of our coun
try friends who travel over it earnestly,
petitions council that Lumpkin street bo
put in at least passable repair.
Among the handsome new residences
contracted to be built in Athens the
coming summer we will mention the
houses of Messrs. C. I). Flanigen, Geo.
T. Hodgson and W. C. Orr. These gen
tlemen have all purchased beautiful lots,
and the buildings they will erect there
on will be ornaments indeed to our city.
It is currently reported that several
old bachelors in Athens are tottering on
the verge of matrimony, and now that
Bud Cox has made the fatal leap others
of his friends will be emboldened to
follow his good example. Madame Ru
mor gently whispers that there will he
not less than five weddings erelong
among this class.
Jndge Nickerson tells us that in 1883,
when he first moved to Atnens the entire
block on Btoad street, extending from
Jones’ tin store to Barry’s corner was a
large hotel, while the lower stories were
used for stores and bank purposes The
J mice says Athens has improved won
derfully in his recollection.
Complaint has been made that some
of the blind tigers working out their
fines on our streets are not given enough
to eat and almost fight over their meals
when brought to them. The city has
been allowing these prisoners $1 per
week for hoard, hut at the last council
it was increased to $1 50. It is estimated
that 65 cents per week will give a man
plenty of the necessaries of life.
Captain Henry Bcusse has certainly
done some splendid work for the Geor

Brooklyn, Feb. 12.—In the Taber
nacle this morning the Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage, D. D., preached the sixth of his
■cries of “Sermons to women of America,
with important hints for men.” The
subject was: “Wifely Ambition, Good
and Bad,” and the text was from I
Kings, xxi, 7: “Arise, and eat bread, and
let thine heart be merry: I will give thee
the vineyard of Naboth.” Dr. Talmage
said:
One day King Ahab, looking out of the
window of his palace at Jazreel, said to
Ilia wife Jezebel: “We ought to have
these royal gardens enlarged. If we
could only get that fellow, Naboth, who
owns that vineyard out there, to trade or
sell, we could make it a kitchen garden
for our palace.”
“Fetch in Naboth,” says tho king to
one of hi3 servants.
The plain gardener, wondering why
be should be called into the presence of
his majesty, comes in, a little downcast
in his modesty and with very obsequious
manner bows to the king.
The king sayi: “Naboth, I want to
trade vineyards with you. I want your
vineyard for a kitchen garden, and I
will give a great deal better vineyard
in place of it, or, if you prefer money for
it, I will give you cash.”
“Oh, no,” sayB Naboth, “I cannot
trade off my little plan, nor can I sell it
It is the old homestead. I got it of my
father and he of his father, and I cannot
let the old place go out of my hands.”
In a great state of petulaucy King
Ahab went into the house and fiusg him
self on the bed and turned his face to the
wall in a great pout.
His wife Jezebel comes in and sho
fays: “What is the matter with you?
Are you sick?”
“Oh,” he says, “I feel very blue. I
have set my heart on getting that kitchen
garden, and Naboth will neither trade or
sell, and to be defeated by a common
gardener is more than I can stand.”
“Oh, pshaw,” says Jezebel, “don’t go
on that way. Get up and eat your din
ner and stop moping. I will get for you
that kitchen garden.”
Then Jezebel borrowed her husband’s
signet or 6eal, for then, as now, in those
lands kings never signed their names, but
liad a ring with the royal name engraved
on it, and that impressed on a royal let
ter or document was the signature. She
staiiijied her husband's name on a proc
lamation which resulted in getting Na
both tried for treason against the king,
and two perjured witnesses swore their
souls away with the life of Naboth, and
he was stoned to death and his property
came to the crown, and so Jezebel got
for her husband and herself the kitchen
garden.
But while tho wild street dogs were
rending the dead body of poor Naboth,
Elijah, the prophet, tells them of other
canines that will after a while have a
free banquet, saying: “Where dogs lick
the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick tliy
blood, even thine.”
And, sure enough, three years after,
Allah, wounded in battle, his chariot
dripping with the carnage, dogs stood
under it lapping his life’B blood. And a
little afterward liis wife, Jezebel, who
liad been his chief adviser in crime,
stands at her palace window and sees
Jehu, the enemy, approaching to take
insscssion of the palace. And, to make
herself look as attractive as possihle and
queenly to the very last, she decorated
her person, and, according to Oriental
custom, closed her eyes and ran a brush
dipped in black powder along the long
eyelashes, and then from the window
the glared her indignation upon Jehu.
As he rode to the gates in his chariot he
shouted to the slaves in her room: • ‘Throw
her down!” But no doubt the slave*
halted a moment frot* such work of afi
sassination, yet, knowing Queen Jezctj
could be no more to them and the «T
qneror Jehu would be everything, as lie
shouted again: “Throw her down,"
. pspperty t<5 help support city, state and
j national government, and yet deny her
the opportunity of helping decido who
1 aliall be mayor, governor or president
But let every wife, not waiting for tho
vote slie may never get, or, getting it,
find it outbalanced by some other vote
not fit to be cast arise now in the might
of tlie eternal Gcd and wield the power
of a sanctified wifely ambition for a good
approximating the infinite.
No one can so inspire a man to noble
purposes as a noble woman, and no- one
so thoroughly degrade a man as a wife
of unworthy tendencies. While in my
text we have illustration of wifely ambi
tion employed in the wrong direction,
society and history are full of instances
of wifely ambition gloriously triumphant
in right directions. All that was worth
admiration in the character of Henry VI
was a reflection of the heroics of his wife
Margaret. William, Prince of Orange,
was restored to the right path by the
grand qualities of his wife Mary. Just
inian, the Roman emperor, confesses
that his wise laws were the suggestion
of fcis wife Theodora. Andrew
Jackson, the warrior and president,
had his mightiest re-enforcement in his
plain wife, whose inartistic attire was
the amusement of the elegant circles in
which she was invited. Washington,
who broke the chain that held America
in foreign vassalage, wore for forty years
a chain around his own neck, that chain
holding the miniature likeness of her
who had been his greatest inspiration,
whether among the snows at Valley
Forge or amid the honors of tho presi
dential chair. Pliny’s pen was driven
through all its poetic and historical do
minions by his wife Calpurnia, who sang
his stanzas to the sound of the flute, and
sat among audiences enraptured at her
husband’s genius, herself the mc6t en
raptured. Pericles said lie got all his
eloquence and statesmanship from his
wife. When the wife of Grotius
rescued him from long imprisonment
at Lovestein by means of a bookcaso
that went in and out, carrying his books
to and fro, he one day transported, hid
den amid the folios, and the women of
besieged Weinsberg, getting permission
from tho victorious army to take with
them so much of their valuables os they
could carry, under cover of the promise
shouldered and took with them as tho
most important valuables their husbands
— both achievements in a literal way
illustrated tv hat thousands of times has
been done in a figurative way, that
wifely ambition lias been the salvation of
men.
De Tocqucville, whose writings will bo
potential and quoted while the world
lasts, ascribes his successes to his wife,
and rays: “Of all the blessings which
God lias given to me the greatest of all
in my eyes is to have lighted on Maria
Motley.’’ Martin Luther says of his wife:
“I would not exchange my poverty with
her for all the riches of Cruesus without
her.” Isabella of Spain, by her superior
faith in Columbus, put into tho hand of
Ferdinand, her husband, America. John
Adams, president of the United States,
said of his wife: “She never by word or
look discouraged me from running all
hazards for the salvation of niv country’s
liberties. Thomas Carlyle iqient the last
twenty years of his life in trying by Ilia
pen to atone for the fact that during liis
wife's life he never appreciated her in
fluence on his career anil destiny. Alas!
that, having taken her from a beautiful
home and a brilliant career, he should
have buried her in the home of a recluse
and scolded her in such language as only
a dyspeptic genius could manage, until
one day whilfe in her invalidism, riding
in Hyde park, her pet dog got run over,
and under the excitement the coachman
found her dead. Then the literary giant
woke from his conjugal injustice and
wrote the lamentations of Crnigen-I*ut-
tock and Cheyne row. Tin ■ elegant and ful
some epitaphs that husbands put upon
their wives’ tombstones are often an at
tempt to make up for the lack of appre
ciate xvords that should have been ut
tered in the ears of the living. A whole

A GOOD SHOWING-
An Ocoiif* Young linn In the West.
Below we give a clipping from a
Montana "paper which will be very in
teresting. Mr. Lenoir left Oconee when
he was only 15 years of age with only
$75 in his pocket, and went out West to
seek his fortune. Mr. Lenoir has never
received a cent from home, but has
sent back from his wild Western home
over $1,UU0 to keep the old people along,
lie is a yong man of vim anil energy,
and will yet make his mark on the Pa
cific Slope. Everything he touches
seems to turn to money, and his uncle,
Sheriff Overby, is proud of him. There
a*e few such boys as Basil O. Lenoir,
and the good little county of Oconee
may well feel proud of him. The Helena
Independent says:
One hundred magnificent front rooms
arc rarely met with in one building, yet
Mr. Lenoir will open the above house on
March 1, 1888, in Tom Powers’ steam
boat block, at the junction of Helena
avenue, Main street, and a new street to
be opened thence to the Montana Cen
tral railroad depot. Fifty of these rooms
v ill be completed May 1st, while fifty
more, in course of construction, will be
finished ah jul October 1st This house

hurled her forth till she came tumbling
to tlie earth, striking it just in time to
let Jehu’s horses trample her and the
chariot wheels roll over her. While
Jehu is inside at the table refreshing him
self after the excitement he orders liis
servants, to go out and bury the dead
queen. But the wild street dogs liad for
the third time appeared on the scene, and
they had removed all her body except
those parts which ill all ages dogs are by
a strange instinct or brutal superstition
kept from touching after death—the
palms of tlie hands and the soles of the
feet.
All this appalling scene of ancient his
tory was the result of a wife’s bad ad
vice to a husband, of a wife’s struggle to
advance her hushand's interests by un
lawful means. Ahab and Jezebel got
the kitchen garden of Naboth, but the
dogs got them. Tlie trouble all began
when this mistaken wife aroused her hus
band out of lus melancholy by the words
of the text: “Arise, and eat bread, and
let thine heart he merry: I will give thee
tlie vineyard of Naboth.”
Tlie influence suggested by this subject
is an influence you never before heard
discoursed on, and may never hear again,
hut a most potent and semi-omnipotent
influence, and decides the course of indi
viduals, families, nations, centuries and
eternities. I speak of wifely ambition,
good and bad. How imjiortant that
every wife have her ambition, an ele
vated, righteous and divinely approved
ambition.
And here let me say what I am most
anxious for is that woman, not waiting
for the rights denied her or postponed,
promptly and decisively employ tlie rights
slie already has in possession. Some ray
she will ho in fair way to get all her

A Pocket Picked In Open Dij.
Yesterday evening one of the boldest
robberiss was committed on Wall street
that was ever perpetrated in our city.
Mr. John Richards, a hard working rock
mason, had fifty dollars and pat it care
fully in his vest pocket Several men
were standing around and saw Mr. Rich
ards put the money in his pocket. Ii
was only a few minutes afterwards that
tho party went into the barber ehop on
Wall street and the money was stolen.
Several parties have been accused of the
theft and the police are working up the
case, but so far it has not been positively
settled who got tho money.

Nearly two years ago I contracted
malaria Into my system, ana suffered
greatly from time to time from It hi
various forms til which It developeil.
Sometimes had severe chills and fevers
—indigestion followed it. and I was gen
erally out o' health. Last spring for
more than two months 1 was greatly
troubled with s disordered condition of
Che bowels, which I believe was the re
salt ot the malaria still existing in my
system. I visited two or three mineral
springs celebrated for the cure of mala
rial diseases, without the slightest
benefit. I was also treated as the differ
ent symptoms developed by the moat
skillful physicians, but was not relieved.
About two months ago, I concluded to
try Calisaya Tonic, prepared by West
moreland Bros., but I must confess 1
had little confidence of being materially
benefited by it. I have taken five orsix
hollies of the Tonic—from the beginning
I felt relief and continued to improve,
until now I feel quite as well and in as
perfect health as I ever did in my life
and 1 believe I am perfectly well.

lies all voting would make more votes
but no difference hi the result. Besides
that, as now at the polls men are bought
up by the thousands, women would be
bought up by the thousands. The more
voters the more opportunity for political
corruption. We have several million
more voters now than are tor publio good.
We are told that female suffrage would
correct two evfis—the ram business and
the insufficiency of woman’s wages.
About the rum business I have to ray that
multitudes of women drink, and it is no
unusual thing to see them in theres-
traurants so overpowered with wine and
beer that they can hardly sit up, while
there ore many so-called respectable res
taurants where they can go and take
their champagne and hot toddy all alone.
Mighty temperance voters these women
would mako! Bsajdca that, the wives of
tho rum sellers would have to vote in tho
interest of their husband’s business, or
have a time the inverse of felicitous.
Besides that, millions of respectable and
refined women in a marina, would prob
ably not vote at all, because they do not
want to go to the polls, and, on the other
hand, womanly roughs would all go to
the polls, and that might make woman’s
vote on the wrong ride. Than to not in
my mind much prospect of the expulsion
of drunkenness by femsle suffrage.
As to woman's wages to be corrected
by woman’s vote, I have not much faith
in that Women are harder on women
than men ire. Masculine employers ore
mean enough in treatment of women,
but it you want to hear heating down of
prices and wages in perfection, listen
how some women treat washerwomen
and dreasmakera and female servants.
Mn, Shy lock to mere roercihre than Mr.
Bhylodk. Women, I fear, will never get
righteous wages through woman's vote,
and as to unfortunate womanhood,
women are tax more cruel and unfor
Ing than men are. After a woman
mads shipwreck of her character men
generally drop bar, but women do not bo
much drop her as hurl her with the
force of a catapult dear cot and off and

will not do a wife so much good after
she Fas quiet the world, as one plain sen
tence like that which Tom Hood wrote
to his living wife, when he said:
never was anything till I knew you. ”
Oh, woman, what is your wifely am
bition, noble or ignoble? Is it high social
position? That will then probably direct
your husband, and he will climb and
scramble and slip and fall and rise and
tumble, and on ->yhat level or in what
depth or on what height ho will after a
while be found I cannot even guess. Tho
contest for social position is the most un
satisfactory contest in all the world, be
cause it is so uncertain about your getting
it, and so insecure a possession after you
have obtained it, and so unsatisfactory
even if you keep it. The whisk of a
lady’s fan may blow it out. Tlie growl
of one bear or tlie bellowing of one bull
on Wall street may scatter it.
Is the wife’s ambition tho political pre
ferment of her husband? Then that will
probably direct him. Wliat a God for
saken realm is American politics those
best know who have dabbled in them.
After they have assessed a man who is a
candidate for office, which he docs not
get, or assessed him for some office at
tained, and he lias been whirled round
and round and round and round among
the drinking, smoking, swearing crowd
who often get control of public affairs,
all that is left of his self resjiect or moral
stamina would find plenty of room on a
geometrical |<oint, which is said to have
neither length, breadth or thickness.
Many a wife lias not been satisfied till
Iter husband went into politics, but
would afterward have given all she pos
sessed to get liim out.
I knew a highly moral man. useful in
tho church and possessor of a bright
home. He had a useful and prosperous
business, but his wife did not think it
genteel enough. There were odors about
the business and sometimes they would
adhere to his garments when he returned
at night. She insisted on liis doing some
thing more elegant, although he was
qualified for no business except that in
which he was engaged. To please her
he cliangeil his business, and in order to
get on faster abandoned church attend
once, raying after he liad made a certain
number of hundreds of thousands
of dollars ho would return to the
church and its services. Where is that

mattered through tho houso for tho
preservation of order; but in my 1
home there has always been one
voice to say: “Go ahead and diverge
not on inch from the straight line. Who
cares if only God is on our side?” And
though sometimes it seemed os if I was
going out against 000 iron chariots, I
ent ahead, cheered by the domestic
voice: “Up 1 for this is the day in which
the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine
hands.”
A man is no better than his wife will
let him be. Oh, wives of America, swing
your scepters of wifely influence for God
and good homes I Do not urge your hus
bands to annex Naboth's vineyard to
your palace of success, whether right or
wrong, lest the dogs that come out to de
stroy Naboth come out also to devour
you. Righteousness will pay best in life,
will pay best in death, will pay best in
the judgment, will pay best through all
eternity.
In eur effort to have the mother of
every household appreciate her influence
over her children, we are apt to forget
the wife’s influence over the husband.
In many households the influence upon
the husband is the only home influence.
In a great multitude of the best and most
important and most talented families of
the earth, there have been no descend
ants. There Is not a child or a grand
child or any remote descendant of Wash
ington or Charles Sumner or Shakes-
peare or Edmund Burke or Pitt or
Lord Nelson or Cowper or Pope or Addi-
ron or Johnson or Lord Chatham or Grat
tan or Isaac Newton or Goldsmith or
Swift or Locke or Gibbon or Walpole or
Canning or Dryden or More or Chaucer
or Lord Byron or Walter Scott or Oliver
Cromwell or Garrick or Hogarth or
Joshua Reynolds or Spencer or Lord Ba
con or JLu'aulay. Multitudes of the
finest families of the earth are extinct.
As though they had done enough for the
world by their genius or wit or patriot
ism or invention or consecration, God
withdrew them. In multitudes of cases
all woman's opportunity for usefulness
is with her contemporaries. How im
portant that it be an unproved opportu
nity 1
While tho French warriors, on their
way to Rlieims, had about concluded to
give up attacking tlie castle ot Troyes, be
cause it was so heavily garrisoned, Joan
of Arc entered tlie room and told them
they would be inside tho castle in three
days. “Wo would willingly wait six
days,” raid one of the leaders. “Six!"
she cried out, “you shall be in it to-mor
row, "and under her leadership on the
morrow they entered. On a smaller
scale every man has garrisons to subdue
and obstacles to level, and every wife
may bo an inspired Joan of Arc to her
husband.
What a noble, wifely ambition, the de
termination, God helping, to accompany
her companion across the stormy sea of
this life and together gain the wharf of
the Celestial City I Coax him along with
you! Y’ou cannot drive him there. You
cannot nag him there; but you con coax
him there. That is God's plan. He
coaxes us all tho way—coaxes us out of
our sins, coaxes us to accept pardon,
coaxes us to heaven. If wo reach that
blessed place it will be through" a pro
longed and divine coaxing. By the
same process take your companion, and
then you will get there as well, and all
your household. Do just the opposite
to your neighbor. Her wifely ambition
is all for this world.Jand a disappoints 1
and vexed and unhappy creature she wh
be all the way. Her residence may be
better than youss for the few years of
earthly stay, but she will move out of it
as to her body into a houso about five
and a half feet long and about threo feet
wide and two feet high, and concerning
her soul's destiny yon can make your
own prognostication. Her husband and
her sons and daughters, who all, like her,
live for this world, wfll have about the
same destiny for the body and the soul.
You, having had a sanctified and divinely
ennobled wifely ambition, will pass up
into palaces, and what becomes of
your body is of no importance,
for it is only a scaffolding,
pulled down now that your temple is

Sixteen miles from Petersburg, Russia,
was one of - the royal palaces, and there
one night Catherine, tho empress, enter
tained Prince Henry. It was severe
winter and deep snow, and the empress
and the prince rodo In a magnificence of
sleigh and robe and canopy never sur-
jassed, followed by two thousand sleighs
aden with the first people of Russia, the
whole length of the distance illumined by
lamps and dazzling temples built for that
one night, and imitations of mosques
and Egyptian pyramids; and people of
all nations, in all styles of costume,
standing on platforms along the way and
watching tlie blaze of the pyrotechnics.
At the palace the luxuries of kingdoms
were gathered and spread, and at the
table the guests had but to touch the
center of a plate, and by magical ma
chinery it dropped and another plate
came up loaded with still richer viands.
But all that sceno of the long ago shall
be eclipsed by the greater splendors that
will be gathered at the banquet made by
the Heavenly King for those consecrated
women who come in out of the winter
and snowy chill of their earthly
existence into the warm and il
lumined palace of lieavcn. With the
king himself and all tho potentates,
yourself robed and crowned, you will sit
at a table compared with which all the
feasts at Kenilworth, and St. Cloud and
the Alhambra were a beggar's crust.
And the platter of one royal satisfaction
touched at the center shall disappear only
to make room for a beggar’s crust, and
the golden plate of one royal satisfaction,
touched at the center, shall disappear
only to make room for the coming up of
some richer and grander regalement.

man’s home; and, from being a km,
pure, generous, moral man os uny of you
who sit here today, has become a home
less, penniless libertine. His wife's am
bition for a more genteel business de
stroyed him and disgraced her, and
blighted their only child.
But suppose now there be in our homes,
ns thank God there are in hundreds of
homes here represented, on the wifely
throne one who says not only by her
words, but more powerfully’ by her
actions: “My husband, our destinies are
united; let us see where industry, hon
esty, common sense and faith in God
will put us. I am with you in all your
enterprises. I cannot be with you in
rson as you go to your daily business,
it I will bo with yon in my prayers.
Let us see what we can achieve by hav
ing God in our hearts, and God in our
lives, and God in our homes. Be on the
ride of everything good. Go ahead and
do your best, and though everything
should turn out different from what we
have calculated, you may always count
on two who are going to help you,
and God is one and I am the
other.” That man may bavo feeble
health, and may meet with many
nbireelse and business trials, but
be Is coming gloriously through, for be is
re-enforced, and inspired, and spurred on
by a woman’s voice, as much as was
Barak by Deborah, when Sisera with nine
hundred iron chariots came on to crush
him and bis army, and Deborah shouted
in the ear of Barak: “UpI for thia is the
day in which the Lord hath delivered
Sisera into thine hands.” And the enemy
tell back, and Sisera’s chariot, not get
ting along fast enough in the retreat, the
general jumped out and took it afoot,
and ran till he come to a place where •
woman first gave him a drink of milk
and then sent a spike through his skull,
nailing him to the floor.
Some of us could tell of what influence
upon ns has been a wifely ambition con
secrated to righteousness. As my wife
it out of town and will not shake her
bead because I say it in public, I will
etite that in my own professional life I
have often been called of God, as I
thought, to run into the very teeth of
