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 you want to get your grandest idea of a queen, you do not think of Catharine of Rua. ala, or ot Anno of England, or Marie Theresa hen you want to get your queen, you think of the * T our father at m arm-in-arm down life’s pathway; sometimes to the thanks- giving banquet, sometimes to the grave, but always together- soothing your potty griefs, correcting your childish waywardness, joining BILL ARP legislature ought to attempt to make lion or to mmx: “Till, if tho line and that ia the line.” My theory ia that If a woman wauta to vote, alia ought to rote, and that if » man wanta to embroider and keep houae,heongbtto be al lowed td embroider and keep houee. There ate mwcutine women and there aro effeminate m, Ky theory Is that you hara no right ta well docteo by kgisUtloa how high a bra thtar.her should fly, or how deep a trout should, S lunjfo, as to try to seek ant tbs height or the epth of woman's duty. The question ot < mlty will settle finally tho whole queitio js whole subject. When a woman U t*i pared to preach, the will preach, and neithu. conference or presbytery can binder her. When a woman Is prepared to move In highest commercial spheres, she will have groat Influ ence on the exchange, and ne boards of trado can hinder her. I want woman to understand 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 lueenf Tbe chariots of God came down to r etch her; and aa she went in, all heaven rose ip. You cannot think of her now without a 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 yon want of those people who go in the round of godleasness and fashion, and dissipation.dis- tortingtboir body until in thair monstrosities they seem to oulOo the dromedary and hippo potamus, going as far toward disgraceful ap parel as they daro go, ao as not to bo arrested of the police—their behavior a sorrow to tho 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.
