!u a rural district of Georgia.
vt hose inhabitants think more
aiicil linrir poultry than iheir pi
et\. 1 found myself, one star lit
nielli, the guest of a quiet house
hold, aninuded al thi,-: time !.•; two
vihii.jug young ladies from Ala
bantu. Modesty and a natural wor
shipful fooling toward the sex for
bid my saying that those sun-kiss
ed maidens were freckled-faced,
pug-uesed, r unable to spell‘hat,’
although this coulu bo proved in
any justice’s court.
1 had simmered nay conversation
down to monosylables—and this
wat- by no means difficult—and was
smoothly discoursing on the rela
tion of an owl to wisdom, when
the violent ringing of a neighbor
tig church bell announced—not
lire as I supposed—but that a good
brother of Primitive persuasion
would edify the people by proof
positive that what is to be will lit.
even if Gabriel’s trumpet launches
time into eternity a million years
before it happens.
Ia having to escort these little
it:non Hits over to hear this process
of lung development, I was like
•Jit man wilh Ihe elephant in not
knowing hosvf o manage my charge,
but very unlike that relic of some
fellow's wit in Ihsl my task was uoi
courted, but compulsory.
Having discussed for half an
hour ‘ the blue tangled wild wood"
which begin our path and it®? rela
tion to love and moonshine, we ar-
rive at. the consecrated spot where
■•Inoil nature's sweet restorer, bal
mv sleep,” was to be exerted in al!
of its midnight serenity.
The house was crowded, the
lamps shining brightly with
washed chimneys, lit up the dusty
ceiling, frescoed with the mazy
webs of tlie industrious spider.
The wild September wind whis
tled cheerily through the mud
chinked walls; the faithful watch
dogs of fanciful masters zealously
guarded the portals, and all save
the pro verbal church baby lent en
couragement to the scene.
The hymn that followed the open
ing prayer was being sung to the
time of a werd-a-miuute as we en
tered and eagerly looked for a pew
in the .row of fashion. Unsuccess
ful, we wended our way, with diffi
culty. to the deacon's comer, where
we were sat el y ensconced after hav
ing made an apology as long as you
can recoiled for unwittingly touch
ing the pet corn ol a choleric gen
tle man in calico pantaloons.
As all things are destined te end.
ilie hymn was finished.
Then a venerable old mao with
alpaca co.ti and sleek velvet trou
ser? which had defied the violence
of a thousand storms, advanced to
a stand v _ eh had ills appearance
of an cm lash toned rabbit
placed o: ; pedestal and received
Iho sacred i -mo of pulpit.

itokened.. an earnestness which
dial.i'll vd res;ami.
Announcing his text from the
15th chap lor ol Isaiah, ho coin
mu need his sermon with trio evi

lhome in tho Bible, r.o: coniaiiiv l
iii the passum' read.
Beginning with a voice as low
and measured 11l beacii bealinu
waves, his .tune grew louder and
still louder, until the thunders of
binai would have scorned Jiko. the
faint echoes of a squirrel's bark,
when compared foil,
lie viewing the history of the
children of Israel wii,h technical ac
curacy, he gave numberless reasons
why their selection as the chosen
people war. purely arbitrary. Ha
showed that infants are condemn
ed to eternal punishment by the sin
cf Adam, bui are sometimes saved
by faith—not their own, but the
fait!; of Christ, of which they know
nothing.
Hu then proved that the plan of
redemption includes a favored few.
while the countless many are for

lake in accordance with aseheme
preconcerted before ‘lie morning
stars sang together. He declared
that education increases crime, that,
free liquor tends to morality, that
refinement, inculcates to vice, that
it is more important t® wash each
other’s feet than to give bread to
the starving.
lie contended that millions who
spend their throe score years seek
ing an entrance at Heaven’s gate,
will be at last compelled to
<ji as ii their gums, to weep anu wail
in biirnin’ lako,
While darn’d devils war and yell,
Chlined to a stake,
While a few moth-eaten, con
scienceless souls, will be 'washed,
against their will, in the blood of
tile Lamb, dragged, as it were, by
a self-acting seine from the lag
goons of humanity, made as pdre
as “fresh blown roses dipped in
dew,” and stationed at the right ;
hand of the immaculate Saviour to
bask forever in the glory of His
presence,
With ihe volume of an hundred;
muskets and the monotony of as j
many saw mills, that stentorian i
voice placed its emphasis at regu- j
lar intervals, without regard to
sense, sound or construction of sen
tence. Ithadali the discord of a
Chicago on fire, with none of its
sublimity; and added to this was
the most violent action ever seen
outside ot an amphitheater. lla 1
this pale cheeked martyr ot anti
nr.afttd opinion been fighting tiger*
in African jungle, he could not
have moved hia arms more energet
ically.
AVitk head thrown back, knee
slightly bent, leiL hand on his hip
and right hand-winginglike a bra
en-hinged gale, .towprds the four
winds, he seemed a perfect piclnre
0/ thunderbolt hurling Jove after a
({iiarrsi with seif-willed Juno.
Words fell from bis lips like rain
du.'ng the flood, while grains of sense
were as h-.ni to find an twigs helots

roseate, auburn tresses fell dishevelled
over her fair brow, her dimpled chin

Glancing around, I saw that thoughts
of Moses and the Lamb had been dissi

congregation said by their actions:
‘•Farewell, world; Morpheus, receive
