DEATH OF THE MOSQ'JlTOES Is Inspiration tor a Lay Sermon hy Rev C. C. Brown, of Sumter. [Newberry Herald and News ] They have vanished and 1 <t. mi in silence before 'he prophecy o Itope. The song in I lie nitwit i^iushed, and the vasi ainiy of Hit aliens has perished. On neither hand do I find the graves of the > dead: but the dread -llenceof the night tells me that the foe has fed the field, passing awav into the narrow confines ??r a whelming darkness. The heaving bosom ol a dark mausoleum, and there the sleepers lie, never to know the glories of a coming resurrection In the presence of this vast destruction, one is bound to stand in ail-nee that paralyzes and hushes the spirit, while memories of othet days, or rather of nights ol horror, come over him. He recalls, with a shudder, the sound oft he enemy's bugle that burst on him just as he was about to enter some dale in . the land of dreams, lie remembers his desire to llee. and how he * " ? -I 1 _ * was laced by tlie awiui inougiu, Whither shall 1 flee?'' Shut in on every hand, he could do nothing but he prone upon his back to await the coming of the vender, whose darts were keen and terrible, and lull of a neighbor's gore. A single blast trout the truniphet of an invader called in a multitude that were ready to enter with hint upon his blood-let ting mission. And here they come, through the doors and windows and front evenpoint of the compass, each one l?? . nn.nl' r\ {' , I ao fr ? !!/ ! _ armeu iu-uo ins ?virv ui ion. In the lone hours of night the battle raged. It was fierce and fu rious. Column alter column came on to the fray, while the attacked knew, before a single blow hud been struck, that now, as in evencase, yielding and defeat were the sure result. It .vas the fight of the hopeless against the hopeful; the battle of tlie weepc-r against the ^ singer; the contest between the ^^-"rwr^uered and the conqueror. But come it must, and come it did. and for months the weary stnte went - ? 1 I on. ?acn morning saoweu me marks of blood, and sijins of con fliet lingered upon many a brow that had been beaten in the nijrht. Hope departed, and the {Treat world jrrew dull and heavy. Ti ne and ajrain the question arose, "is life worth livinzT' it was a serious question, and drove the spirit into semi-darkness. Despair sat down at many a chamber door, and the smell of burning rap; told of the battle within. Memories of those awful hours are like iiighfmates and visions of torture, and the bare contemplation of them fills one with unutterable groans and horrors of thought. But the end has come. Ihe opposing armies gathered in a night, armies out-numbering the legions of demons that had made prey of half a world. There was no sound of marching nor of gathering hosts. All was still and a solemn hushed prevailed; but amid it all the work of death went on, and when the morning came, the enemy of man had disappeared. Nor did they fly to the rocks and the caverns in the hills. The aven ging power showed no mercy. Corpses strewed the gtound, and they lie dead, besmeared with an other's blood. The bugle is broken oH t /I a nnrlit arc r\f mnoio o ro aiJU Ail uic i.au^utvio vi in ?io* v uiv brought low. For mouths to come, a man may enter lite precincts ot his own domain, nor fear the coming of the midnight assassin. The dart and javelin are broken, and the voice of triumph is stilled'Over this we all rejoice. We come forth to our morning tasks bearing nc marks of our blood that was shed in the night of conflict. Fresh and t strong we run our daily race, with no dread of returning nightly com bat. Over this we all set up oui aong; for the mosquitoes are dead, Selah! A fibre of silk one mile ion?
