Heart Fruits.
Who prized the gem? 'Tis he who knows
It can never be his own;
Who’ere so feels love’s Joy, as he
From whom bright love hath flown?
I have walked by the waters of Marah—
T have drank of its bitter streams
Though the tides of sweeter waters
Rush ever through my dreams.
S >, when men press to the fountain
Their lips for its bitter draught—
I know and feel from the heart of me
What waters they have quaffed.
Had not my friends proved faithless,
I nad then be. n deaf to the moan
Os hjm who lies with his face to the earth
Heart-broken, friendless, lone.
Yea, had not my face been blanched and
With' the pain of a <bad love's dream,
1 mig have k ed the mad, sad lips
Os the maiden by Marah's stream.
I can hear low heart throbs in the night
That the soun is of day would drown;
And clasp weak hands whose touch by day,
1 spurn d with ear-less frown.

Mrs. I'henie McPherson, Princeton, Texas.—l
see much of late ot woman’s rights, ai»d will here

lam opposed to women officiating in a public
capacity, though I do think they should be equal
with their husbands n; domestic affairs. It seems
to be the custom ol the husband to hold the
purse strings, and to beiive they have the right to
<b> so. It they are poor and she at home attend
ing to the daily duties of preparing his food,
washing his clothes, mending tnem, and keeping
the house in order, she is thus spending her hours
in the mutual good and comfort of her family,
while the husband is iu the field or shop making
money, winch should be equally divided between
the two, husband and wife. 1 think he should be
an equal sharer in the products of domestic com
fort, forshe is equally interested In his affairs.
And is she not a help metC'ln all which preserves
the fami-y'.’
In no position in s<; ial life where the wife’s la
bors are not valued by dollars and cents, worth
ju.-t as much as those of her husband? Tne tact

look upon their w ives as their equal shearer iu all
things pertaining tojhe mutual good ol both.

Mrs. R. L. Smith, Everett’s Springs, Ga.—l have
long been a silent admirer of the Woman’s King
dom, and have become deeply interested m llio
discussion "shall we know each oilier there?”
I beg permission to differ with the Louisiana
sister. 1 firmly believe that, we shall know each
other ’’there.” By refering to the xvi chapter of
St. Luke we see an example ot this knowledge;
the rich man and Lazarus, who had know each
other on earth, recognized each other, the one in
heaven and the other in torment; the rich man
also recognized Abraham, whom he had never
known on earth.
From the xi chapter, 12th verse of Revelation
we read : "And they heard a great voice from
heaven saying unto them, ‘come up hither.’ And
they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their
enemies beheld them.”
Now, I tliink this another example teaching us
that we shah know, not only our friends and loved
ones, but also our enemies, and shall know them
whether iu the same place, or separated by that
impassable gu’f.
The sister says that: "At the transfiguration,
Peter, James and John did not know .Muses anu
Eiias from any knowledge they had of them or.
earth, for their natural bodies had been dead about
four thousand years before Peter, James and
John’s day on earth. Tiierefore, they only knew
them spiritually, by revelation ”
She also says': "The earthly bodies of Peter,
James and John were in a trance, ‘heavy wit h
sleep.’ Their eyes were changed for the special
occasion, to see spiritual bodies, etc.
Now, if God changed their natural eyes to spir
itual, and enabled them to see and recognize the
the spirits of those they had never known on
earth, 1 think it conclusive evidence that we shall
all be. endowed with the same spiritual sight and
knowledge, after we have been transformed and
have put away all earthly forms, and have taken
upon ourselvi-s the spiritual; for we are taught by
the word of God that then we shall become “heirs
of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ.”
This being true, we will inherit the spiritual
sight and knowledge of God, and will, of course,
know everything just as God knows.
Then, as God knows all His creatuses, and “calls
them by name,” we shall know every spirit witnm
tliw realms of th it spirit land ; and more than this,
as God sees every one, and every passing event, so
-hall we. "We shall know even as we are known.”
‘ For now we see through a glass darkly; but then
fa-’e to f'ce." We sh H see ourselves and
otli-rs, and shall khow as God sees and
Knows us and them; we shall see Goq
and his redeemed spirits face to face;
xri-fr UOJN»T££UTIUJN i A'£-L.AJN’I'A, *aA„ JMOJNJJA Y. J U_LY 30, 1894.
I shall be brought face to face with God, and
shall know Him and understand Him with a spir
itual understanding; shall then see and recognize
the spirits of those that depar.ed this life during
the past ages, the same as our friends and loved
ones.
1 think we will be to see and know
wh it those on earth are doing, just as the rich
man knew of his brethren, but, we will not be
troubled and weeping on account of "their many
sins,” for we will then be enabled to understand,
and of course will have become reconciled to the
justice of God ami his great plan of salvation for
the world, and if we see our lovt d ones committing
sin we can, as Abraham said to the rich man, say
to them "they have .Moses and the prophets; let
them hear them,” and if they will not hear them
and be saved, we will see ami understand that God
gave thain ample opportunity. 'J herefore we will
be reconciled to the will ami justice id God (lor
not being reconciled we would not be. fit subjects
lor heaven) and will rest in a sweet assurance that
all will be saved who believe on God and keep His
commands.
It has been always a sweet consolation to me to
contemplate meeting with loved ones on that gol
, den shore, if I am so fortunate as to reach it safe
ly. ami 1 have often imagined, in the language of
the poet, that:
“ Surely I’d mourn over my sorrowful fate,
If sorrow in heaven can be;
If no one should be at the beautiful gate,
There waiting and wutching for me.”

CONCERN ING NV HI N !<LES.
Precautions Taken in Youth Will Re
tard Thein in .Middle Ajfe.
According to a well-known complexior
specialist a few simple precautions in youth
would defer wrinkles many years.
Women should avoid tears above all else.
There is a lining to the membrane of the
muscles around the eyes which contains
water. By crying this water is lost. The
supply is not equal to the exhaust, causing
a dryness of skin which produces wrinkles.
A passive expression of countenance
should be cultivated. People who call into
action the muscles of the face while speak
ing wrinkle early In life. Frowning and
laughing also produce wrinkles. It is bet
ter never to sleep on the face; use down
pillows when possible.
Gentle massage Is an excellent thing, but
one should be careful to always rub the
same way. Even the lines in the forehead
can be rubbed away if one is aptient
enough to do it.
All face lotions and powders having a
tendency to dry the skin will produce
wrinkles. Pure soap containing no alkali
Is non-injurious and should be used daily.
Excessively hot water dries the skin and
wrinkles it, while cold water stimulates and
refreshes It.
The first lines usually appear between the
ages of twenty-five and twenty-eight years.
If they come before they are usually
brought by illness or mental distress. At
the period mentioned the natural secretions
of the flesh begin to recede, leaving the
skin too large for the space It covers. This
is what causes wrinkles.
1 A IIP IS DISGUSTED.
1 HE SIGHS EOR CLA Y, CALHOUN AND
T WEBSTER IN THE SENATE.
I
If Those Old-Time Giants .Tumped on Mr.
i Cleveland as They Did on “Old Hickory”
It Would He Lively.
“Great sensation! Gorman has made a
I speech. He scored the president. Unparal
leled historic scene in the senate—tremen
dous applause! ’
’ What is that to us? Whether Mr. Cleve
land deceived Gorman or whether he should
have written that letter to Mr. Wilson or
i not is of no consequence to this long-suffer
inj; country. Pass the bill! If you can’t
pass it without Gorman, then kill it and go
home and let the republicans run the gov
ernment according to their liking.
The people of the south are fast losing
confidence in the democratic party. Go
where you will, in towns and cities, in
hotels and on railroads, and nine men out
of ten, except the officeholders and office
; seekers, have lost their affection and their
respect for modern democracy. If there
was any other decent party to go to they
would go. We hear intelligent, conservative,
patriotic citizens talking that way every
day. Intensified disgust is the universal
feeling. Day after day, week after week,
month after month the people have been
promised relief. Just look back over the
newspaper files and see the record of
broken promises. Every little while some
sanguine editor says that the country is
just on the eve of a period of unparalleled
prosperity, that the tariff bill will be passed
in a few days and the stagnant capital of
the country wiil be turned loose and old
wheels will be put in motion and new ones
built, and the country will awake from its
long sleep. 1 found a paper yesterday that
was six months old and it talked that way.
Gorman—who cares whether his infantile
feelings have been lacerated or not, his in
dividuality is lost in the distress of the
millions. Pass the bill and doctor the feel
ings later.
The fact is, I wish there was
another party—a party after Ben Hili’*
kind that he foreshadowed in his Chitten
den letter—a party composed ci’ conserva
tive republicans and intelligent democrats —
north anti south. a time when
Jeffersonian democracy was something to |
boast of, but not the spurious kind we have
now. The old whig party would be a god
send in these lawless times. 1 wish that |
we had it right now. 1 wish that Webster j
and Clay and Calhoun were in the United I
biates senate today. Then ‘how small I
would Gorman appear. But there was I
comfort in David B. Hill’s reply. He rose I
above his own resentments. He exhibited |
a noble patriotism and a high order of I
statesmanship. Is it possible that there are
not two or three republican senators who
will elevate the country above their party’?
Is It possible that a republican is obliged
io be a protectionist or nothing? Is states
manship altogether partisan? Are
no middle men—no peace-makers, no mug
wumps In congress? Are there no great
men there—great and good like there used
to be in the days of Berrien and Forsyth
and Howell Cobb and Calhoun and John
Bell and Gentry and Nathaniel Macon and |
Davis and Pientlss and Clay and Critten
ten and Webster and Pearce and Polk and
Wise and a host of others who led their
parties for their country's good? Ind they
ever in times of great peril leave their
seats and go home to mend their fences
and canvass for returning votes? Were
they ever accused of secret speculation in
tariff bills or trusts or subsidies?
The standard is lowered. The flag is at
half-mast. Statesmanship is at a discount
and the highst consideration ot the average
member ot congress is to have a returning
board. But our hope aud consolation is
that there are some good men there. We
have some from Georgia and Alabama
and the other southern states—good and
true men, but not many. Maybe the good
Lord will save our country tor their sake.
If He would have saved Sodom tor the
sake of ten, maybe lie will save us. His

our darky, Bolt, who has served out his
sentence, says: “There are some as bad

organ of the American Protective Associa
tion—another party that some political
schemers have gotten up to put down the
Roman Catholics. I don’t want any more.
Sectarian prejudice makes me sick. New
England fanaticism was no worse than the
intolerance that possesses some of the
members of Christian churches. I know
Protestants who make themselves misera
ble for fear the Roman Catholics will take
the country, and some of them are nearly
as bitter against every other church, anil
would compass sea. and land to make a
proselyte. Contemptuous flings are made
at other churches by those who call them
selves Christians. Some forty years ago
when the elder Judge Underwood joined
the Episcopal church, a cynical Baptist,
friend said: “Well, judge. 1 understand
you have joined the Episcopal church.”
“Yes,” said the judge. "Got into a church
that won't interfere with your politics or
your religion,” said the Baptist. "Yes,”
said the judge, “and you got into a church
where you thought the doctrine of election
would save you, for you knew that nothing
else would. It is well, my friend, that that
election was held before you were born for j

I don’t know anything unchristian in
modern Romanism. I don’t believe in some
of their dogmas, but this is a land and an
age of religious liberty and thousands of
good people are Roman Catholics. Parents
are certainly conscientious in trying to
do what they think is best for their chil

wishes his children taught In a school of
that faith, it is his right and privilege.
If he wishes to do homage to the Virgin
Mary, let him do it. The Romish church
is the mother of all the churches. When
it got corrupt and intolerant some of its
adherents rebelled and formed new societies
and they grew and prospered, and now
their name is legion. The old mother
church was shorn of her power and had to
reform her methods, and is no longer the
dictator of kingdoms. No man can make
me fear the "secret, insidious machina
tions” of the Romish church in this coun
try while such men as Pat Walsh belong
to it. I would trust Pat Walsh with every
interest I have in good government and the
religious liberty of my posterity. Yes,
trust him far so’oner than many of the
bigots I know in Protestant churches. The
Sisters of Charity took my mother when
she was a friendless orphan in Savannah,
when the terrible scourge had carried her
parents to a single grave, and the panic
stricken people were fleeing the doomed
city. They shielded her and cared for her
when no one else would, and she loved
them all her life. I never see them in the
great cities moving s'o quietly along the
streets with their dark gowns and modest
hoods and kindly faces but what I think of
their loving kindness to her who was all
the world to me.
