TALMAGE’S SERMON
Preached at the Hamptons on
- Yesterday.
“SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE.
Thb Hampton*, Augu*t 28.—[Special.]—
“Woman’* Opportunity” wa* tho subject of
dlacouna by tho Rot. T. Do Witt Talroage, D.
D., today, and hi* text, ”fio God created man
in Hi* own imago, tho image of God created
Ho him; mal* and female created Ho thorn.’
—Genesis 1,27. Following i* the sermon in
fall:
In other words, God, who can m*Ve no mU-
take, made man and woman for a specific
work, and to move in particular aphunt—
to bo regnant in his realm; woman to be dom
inant in hers. The boundary lino between
Italy and Switzerland, between England aad
Scotland, is not more thoroughly marked than
this distinction between the empire masculine
and the empire feminine. So entirely disshn-
liar aro tbs fields to which God
called them, that you car
mors compare them than you can oxygen aad
hydrogen, water andygraae, trees and stars.
AM this talk about the superiority of one sex
to the other sex is an everlasting waste of ink
and speech. A jeweler may bare a scale so
deflcate that ho can weigh the dust of dia
monds; but where are the scales so delicato
that yon can weigh In them affection against
affection, sentiment against sentiment, thought
■gainst thought, soul against soul, a man’s
world against a woman's world ? Yon come
out with yout stereotyped remark, the man is
superior to woman In intellect; and then I open
desk the swarthy, iron-typsd,
thuudcrboltcd writings of Harriet
Martineau, and Elizabeth Browning,
and George Eliot. Yoa come on
with your •tcrooiyped remask about woman’s
inbrity ‘ * ‘
sopor
r to man in the item of affection; but
lore tfinn in John, tho dlseiple; and Robert
McCheyn*. the Scotchman; and John Sum*
Id, tho Methodist; aud Henry Martin,
Ksionary? Tho heart of those men was
so large, that after you had rolled into it two
hemispheres, there was room still left to mar
shal the hosts of heaven, and set up the throne
of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man
throne Intellectual. I deny
wAiaii the tbrono affection a C-
human phraseology will ever
define the spheres,while there is an intuition by
which we know whoa a man is Jn his realm,
and when a woman was in her realm, and
than to bo queen in such a realm ? Why, the
eagles of heaven cannot lly across that domin
ion. Horses, panting and with lathered tianks,
arc uot swift enough to run to the outpost of
that realm. They* say that tho sun never sots
upon the English empire: but I have to tell
yon that on this realm of woman’s influence
eternity never marks any bound, Isabella fled
from the Spanish throne pursued by the na
tion's anathema; but she who is queen in a
home will never lose her throne, and death
itself will only be the annexation of heavenly
principalities.

When a woman Is prepared to move In highest

that heart and brain can overfly any barrier
that politician! ihay sat op, and that nothing
can kaep bar back or ksap bar down but tha
ping yon up snug and warm. And
then at last on that day when she lay
in the back room dviag/snu you saw her take
those tlrln handa with which sha tolled for you
so long, and put them together in a dying
prayer that commended you to the God whom
site had taught you to trust—O, she was the

rush of tenderness that stira tbe deep founda
tions of your soul, and you feel as much a
child again as when you cried on
Iter lap; and if you could bring her
back again to speak just once
more your name, as tenderly as she used to
speak It, you would be willing to throw your
self en tbe ground and kiss tbe sod that covers
her, crylag “ Mother 1 Mother!” Ah, showss
thb queen—she was the queen. Now, can you
tell mo how many thousand miles a woman
like that would have to travel down before she
got to the ballot box? Compared with this
work of training kings and queens for
God and eternity, bow insignificant
seems all this work of voting for
aldermen and cemraon counciimen, and
sheriffs, and constables, and mayors, and presi
dents. To make one such grand woman as I
have described, how many thousands would

Discourses l/pon the Little Town
of Monroe,
AS IT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO
It is astonishing what a railroad can do for a
town. Now there is old Monroe, in Walton
county, that was dead for thirty years. It was
not exactly dead, but was in what the doctors
call a comatose condition. Wlicit the Georgia
railroad was completed to Social Circle, Mon-
roo lost her trade and dried up. She had an
old courthouse and a jail and two or three
feeble churches and aschoolbouso, and a clean
white sandy street to play marbles In, and that
vra a!!. What a giaud old place was If outgo
half a century ago, away bock when old
Governor Lumpkin lived there in primitive
simplicity l His old log house is there yet, but
it is weatherboarded and ceiled and nobody
would suspect It was built of logs. The
Lumpkins have been a power in the state, and
always set a good example. Howell Cobb used
to live in Monroe,and so did old Judge Hillyer
and Judge Junes Jackson and Alfred Cpl-
quitt, and ex-Governor McDaniel lives there
now. That makes four governors who came
from that town,and a chief justioe'and several
judges. Old Hiues Holt, tho ances
tor of nearly a11 the Holts, lived
at tbe Cowums, three miles from town, aful
thero hs raised a flock of children who stood
high in the state and held eflices of honor and
trust. Old Walter Colquitt lived thero and
raised up his noblo boys. Hugh A. Harralson

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Government Homestead*. /
Editors Constitution : Wbftt are the pro*
visit.us of tho government homestead Liu?
Inquirer.
Every person twenty years of oge or the head ef a
fantfly, a citizen of the United Stater, or one who
1 as declared his intention of becoming a citizen,
c-D claim the benefit of this law, Full citizenship
is not required of the immigrant to enable him to
participate in the leaefits of this law. The only
thing he must do after his arrival in America ia to
declare Lis intention of bccming a citizen. Every*
thing that is raised, and all improvement* on the
land, will beloag to the settler. The immigrant has
no expense except some small fee* to government
officers, which amount far 100 acres, according to
location, to’ eighteen (#18) or twenty-two
dollar* in all for land wohh fL25 per acre; or
twenty-six (826.00) or thirty-four (S34.00) dollars for
land worth 82.50 per acre. An Immigrant can take
ICO acres under the homestead law aa.a gtft, an a can
purchase 160 acres more, if he ao desires, at from
81.25 to 82.60 per acre. Thia will give him 820 acre*.
Then, under a lav passed Jane 14,1878, entitled the
“Foroat lav,” he can fake up 160 acres (or 40 acres,
aa he may elect) of land naturally devoid of tinker.
0n©-sixteenth part of tbe land must be planted In
young forest inm, seed* or cuttings, and the tree*
must be kept for eight years in good growing condi
tion. That ia, If 16Q. acres ore taken under the
"forest law.” fire acres must be plowed the first
year, cultivated the second year and planted
tho third year, and fivo acres more
must be broken the second year and
cultivated tho third year and planted the'faufth
yetic. 1/80 or 40 acres are taken up, it is only nec-
czsaay to plant five or acres respectively, as above
explained. After the expiration of eight yuan, or
within thirteen yean, ahd after the planter haa
proved by*two witnesses that be haa compiled tally
with the provisidna of the "Foroat Law,” tho gov
ernment gives bira a patent for the land. Persona
that take upland underjthe ' ForestLaw” need not
reside on It, and may at the same time take np and
Ifiotes land offiee, when, after presenting proof that
he hea,complied with the requfremeats or tbe law,
be will receive a patent for the land aa hls individ
ual property. Them lands ore free from taxes, and
cannot be seized for debts contracted before the tak
ing up of the same.

As he squared his chair around,
“I haint cared much for politics
8inee the Yankees got us down.
When the niggers got to voting
I thought ’twss time to stop,
For I seed the Yanks were botnl to have
The bottom ^11 on top.
“Then times were mighty squawly,
For if you'd wink your eye
Their bureau would got arter you
And watch you on the sly,
, And their soldier* prould light onto yoa
And wouldn’t take no ball—
They wanted to Impress you
You were the bottom rail.
