In the shape re of sugarcane, grass and pea vines, has never SI before been equalled In this section, and no doubt much more would have been saved, but for tbe scarcity of bouse room?some place to put It?on many places.

TILLNAN'S SPEECH. tint He Sttld Before the Ri>>Ietal 1'ouvi'utiun ill Nl. IjUiiIn U Well Worth Heading. fhe Governor of South Carolina is in Atlanthis morning. Tiled, and anything but comfortable physlUy, Governor Tillman alighted from a day ?ch of the Western and Atlantic vestlbnled ain, which was over an hour and a hall le, last evening. He is on his way home i>m St, Louis, and the delay kept him here I night, as 11 caused him to miss the Sea>ard train. At his room at the Markham he talked ol le convention of silver men which he bad st attended and of which he was one ol the omlnent figures. "I believe the outlook for a practical union hich will accomplish much lor silver Is very vorable," said he. "Some of the gotdbug orins have been sneering at the convention id declaring that it was not a success, but, though the attendance was not as large as I cpected.I am not at all discouraged by the invention nor about its results. I find that )t many of our friends In the South underood about the convention, and of the Southn uioiscnnin u.Mifh fnrnllnM. AIIssIssIddI. jxhk, Alabama aud Arkansas sent delegates, es." In response to a question, "there were ,her Governors?Governor Stone, of Missou; Governor Lewelling, of Kansas, aud Govnor Walte, of Colorado. Then ttiere were a amber of dls in?ulsbed men among the delates, who numbered about 170 In all." "What will be the resultof It?"' "The Interesis of the people of the South id West are Identical. I believe 11 theSen.6 passes the unconditional repeal bill the iople ol the West will hold one convention jd the people of the South another, and that lese two will be welded together by the apMntment of delegates from one to the other, rawing to them all the silver men of both :cttons. And that would mean a lorce that ould sweep the country. I'm glad I went up ?ere; glad 1 m?t them face to face. I feel ixl I have gotten on the inside of the sltuaon up there and have learned how deeply ncere those people are. Tiie cause is a rlghou* one, and it is bound to triumph in the id." Atlanta is to have the next convention, be St. Louis convention left the matter of loition to the president and secretary, and hlle no definite action has been taken, as Dthing will be done until after the Senate .to iho Boniimpiit of the convention was early expressed at a conference belli after IJournment. All of the leaders were pres11 and Atlanta was the unamitnous choice. Gov. Tillman was chairman of the commlt e on resolutions.and In presenting Ms re>rt made a stlrrlni; aud striking speech to le convention. The speech is well worth lading aud Is given here as reported In the t. uouls papers. GOVERNOR TILLMAN'S Sl'BECH. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Consnilon : It Is not tny habit to make any exises for my style of speaking or my lack of bat men call oratory. And I will Mmply lakeabrlef explanation in order that you lay not believe, since I have told you that I ime here to make a speech, tbat I have uny >eclally prepared speech, that I have elabotled anything, that I have polished arry>ing. It has been five years since I wrote anyling on paper that I expected to (-peak, fben I first began my career ns a political), hlcb was In 1886, being unused to public dlslssion, and naturally nervous, I wrote down hat I wanted to say in order to keep from irgetttng It. Well, I have had a pretty >ugb-and>tucnble time since then, and have tamed to depend on my iieau 10 ruruisu me ords, whether they were exactly grnmmatlll or polished or rhetorical, and If I have mild the facts and the ideas I don't care a lap for the minner in which they are dressi. (Applause.) Now, In rising to address you upon the subset matter ot the resolutions presented by le committee, if what I shall say should sally cause any good or do me any credit, I aust necesarlly thresh some straw which Lhers have heateu and who have done it lore eloquently and ably than I can. I propose to take a bird's-eye view of the olltlcal, fliiancla and commercial condition f the country.1 am a plain, blunt man, as you have dlsjvered. I say what I think and believe, and hen 1 get through I quit. (Laughterand pplause.) Therefore, I* shall not worry you. TWO POLITICAL QUESTIONS. In turning your eyes backward over the ages ol our past history you find that prior > the war t here were two great prevailing potical issues?slavery and the tariff. The war rew out of the desire of the South for free ade rather than tue preservation 01 slavery. /e wanted to get off 10 ourselves, hi order to ill our products lu the best market und buy 1 the cheapest market. There were then nly two great questions, and laBt year we ere told dial there were still two great quesons?the financial question?slavery having applly passed away?and the tariff We were ;u to expect that when this Democratic Oonentlon mel, with a majority in both branchi aud the executive sent there by the people >r the first time In thirty years, the taritl ould be one of the main Questions to which , would address itself. We find, however, iat Congress has been called in extra session > solve tbe other question, the financial queson, which I have always contended was the urning question. (Applause.) And to?-day , is the burning questlou in American pollcs aud has brought tbe We?t and the South )gether aud inaile meu who lor twenty years ave been mortal political enemies act here s a band ol brothers. (Applause.) It Is true that for a short period before tbe rar, during tbe time ol Andrew Jackson? Id Hickory?the fianclal question aud the uestlon as to whether money In the ltandx t a lew, to be manipulated by them, should an Hie country or the people should run It, us a burning question, and tbe tariff ?ed avery questions both dropped aside until lat mat ter was settled to the satisfaction ol lie people, juchbuu won 11 lb ugiuuguiutuuc unk In spite of a subsidized press such as we ow have advocating the gold standard. Now le same Issue confronts us. THE WHITE SLAVE. I said the financial question was e burning uesilon. While we had hoped that tbequesod of slavery bad forever been settled and lat It would never again be au issue before le American people, it confronts us now. ut, alas, the color of the slave has changed; le slaves are no longer black, but are white len. (Applause) What do I mean by slave? ell rne, gentlenieu, what more absohue conlllon ot servitude can possibly exist than iat of the farmer, who In the language ol le eloquent gentleman from Missouri this lornlim (Mr. Cocbran) has for twenty years, nee 1873, been making his crops on a tailing larket and has grown old hoping to pay otl je mortgage on ills property. (Applause.) ^ho, lii the language of Cowper, [as lowered his bucket Into an empty well, ud grown old iu drawing nothing up. (Applause.) At the same time be has seen men reap the uits of bis labor, and grow rich beyond the iearn of avarice, lulllionarles multiplied uni they cannot count them, while paupers? hite slaves?have been multiplied ten thou iiiu fold for every millionaire. And what are we confronting now? The ng<e gold standard lace to lace right here. I Uu't a theory but a penalty that conlronts b. "It 1b a condition," iu the languageol Ir. Clevelaud. The Sherman law repealed ad silver demonetized as a money 01 final zcount con Ironts us. I believe the people of le United Stales will rise lu their wrath be>re they will permit such wrong. But wlib lat law repealed and silver no longer a legal suder, beiore the terrible wrong to the debtor lass can be righted, millions will be pauper:ed and becorno tenants where they now wn homes In fee simple. The liquidation ol ebis and mortgages will go on under the aid standard with one-half of lite metallic jrrency of the world destroyed and the caaclty to pay debts reduced one-half. It will tke two bushels of wheat or two pounds of >tton to pay where it took one before. I say, we are not confronted with human slavery T the white race in this country, where are e? (Applause.) Because, if tbe titles are ;>ne to tbe homes that these men struggled to Dtain for themselves and their families, and ley become tenants, subject to the humiliaodb and tbe tyranDy of the money power, hat have you made of them but serfs like ley have in Europe? Serls,as the gentleman ild. and a new lorm of serfdom. They talk bout the dishonest dollar, tliey talk about ie5S cent silver dollar! My God ! my coun yuien! doesn't the same amount of silver uy as much wheat a.jd corn as It ever did? fhlcb Is the dishonest dollar ? That which as remained a parity with all other products, r the one which will buy twice as much as ought to buy, the gold dollar? (Applause.) thk money of the poor. Silver is the money of the poor; gold Is n >bber, and has always been the money of the ch. They talk about restoring confidence! hese patriots that are so solicit Ions that condence shall be restored by the repeal of the tiermaa law ! Do they care any thing about storing confidence to you and X and tnemilonsof American freemen whom they claim ?represent? A Voice?JNo. By the gracious permission of England they 111 do It: otherwise we are not to be consid ed. And then the hum buggery which they t press in their speeches in Congress! "We re friends of silver within certain limltaons." Old Dr. Abernathy, a celebrated Eng?.i. ?w?,.uun inn/1 t/\ otkV ihu Hrct f hftii/ In SU JJIIJ Oicmili WCU vv oimj I.MW ?* ? vw a in treating a man was to get htm to iicnowiedge thai he was sick. Well, I think >e most hopeful sign that I have seen In lany a month, because I come from a seel ion here the sun of hope does not shine brlght\ Is that Ihe men of the West realize at last mt they are sick. (Laughter and applause.) ut these bl metalllsl*, these Irieniis oi silver, leir remedy for the trouble of silver Is to lay le poor thing iu its cottin and presfcrlbe uath as a remedy. That Is a new kind of lediclne. (Laughter and applause.) Let us speal the Sherman law, demonetize sliver, ud then we will take into consideration a i remedy?always, understand, with the consent of England. (Applause.) Doesn't,every man in Congiess wholias pretended t\) deceive himself with that delusion know that they can never legislate after they have repealed that law? l>oes he not know that Cleveland will veto everything they do? If they pretend they are hi inetalllsts and friends of silver they simply lie. (Great applause.} I told you I would speak plainly and bluntly. A Voice?That Is what we want. Governor Tillman?I speak the language of the Illble. the plain Anglo-Maxon. Why, for the conditions they are oirerlng us. the rein edy reminds me of the old doggerel: "Mother, may I go out to swim ? Oh, yes, my darling daughter; Hang your clothes on a hickory limb, Hut don't go near the water." | (LnughUr.) Don't you go near the mint with your sliver bullion ; don't keep In that direction. We want you as a com mod li y, not as money; make you a slave ot gold, uot Its equal; we will redeem you In gold, and therefore, destroy jou as money of tinsl redemption. And they tell you they are bl-metallists! (ApI plause.) TIIE SOl'TH'S SITUATION." Gentlemen, so much by way of generalities. I am not trying to convert any ot you to bimetallism. It Is useiess to talk of that to you. I caine here for anot her purpose, aod I want now to proceed to fu fill it. I want you to unneraiHnu once iuinu.anu iuhj.ujc on.uutlon In the South. The talk which we hear from some of these tinilil patriots? patriots! God forbid that I should so desecrate the word ?politicians, these timid politicians who have refused to participate in this meeting, who have seni no delegates here or who have not taken any pains to become acquainted and get in touch with one another?these fellows who feel one side with a gentle touch to see how the popular feeling In going to be? they say that this Is a sectional government; that they cannot take part In it. The (i lobe-Democrat, one of the morning dallies <>f this city, had in it this morning a ilttle squib: "Those who are proposing to array the South and West against the East should read some sentences of Webster's speech In reply to H=?yne." Well, gentlemen, we may disguise it. as we will, try to disguise it. try to pretend this, that or the other, but I have always noticed that in this Union tbe sections voted as their interests dictated. Tliey have always voted, and will continue to vote, and il is their duty to vote, for what they regard as the interests of thelrcohstituents. I mean representatives of different sections lu Congress should vote for what they regard as the Interests of their I onnut.itnants. and It is not 6ed lonallsm at alI within reasonable bound*. This Is a great country, and it is so great that the extremities of it know nothing of each other. The papers of one Slate do not circulate in auotber. We never see In South Carolina any papers Iroin up here and you see uo papers from our State. A COMMON MEETING GROUND. The only place where the people of this grand -country can meet upon a common grniuid Is In the halls of Congress, and here I wi>h to suggest an idea that has caused me great uneasiness for the perpetuity of our InsiMujtions and the continuance of the Union as It is?ibut Is the great diversity of Interests and that partisan adherence to party which makes men forget that other men have rights [Applause J That makes them forget that some classes which they urn legislating against may be absolutely ruined by the passage of a certain law, and I announce to-day that any niau who Is not broad enough and patriotic enough to consider the whole nation'; consider the Interests of every Slate in this Union, is not fit to represent any Stale in any Legislature any where. [Great applause.| Talk about sectionalism! When the fiat went forth from the leaders of the Republican party that the fouiteenth and fifteenth amendments must be passed in order to hu* mlllate and punish the Southern people, they lacked one vote of the necessary two thirds mnjoniy IO carry ll. WIIUUIIU meyuu; iievuda, at that time, was a mining camp. The discovery of the Comstock lode hud filled her with adventurers from all part* of the earth, and she hail a floating population of 100,000 or 150,000. They admitted Nevada into the Union solely with a view to gel that one vote that was necessary. Now what are they proposing to do with Nevada? [Laughter.] Now I hey propose to obllierale as far as they may Nevada by adding Utah to It and givluir tier some population. [Laughter.] I have cot no objection In the world, because I think Utah is iJemocratlc or Populist or something of the sort?[laughter and applausej?at least the people are in lavor of free sliver, and I don't think they wilt gel rid of Senators Stewart and Jones by that Kort of hocuspocus. PROBING OLD WOUNDS. Now, let us come on down to the end. You will excuse me if I rip up some old wounds, or If I probe those that are healed, I do it In kindness and in sincerity, but it Is necessary in order to have a clear and perfect understanding of the situation. We are?ail men are?more or Ie*s creatures of habit and education. We inherit our religion, we inherit . our politics, and we transmit to our children our hates. It is not worth whl le to talk about the war, or how it came on, or who got the most glory outoi 11. n>u got an me giory and we got all the bitterness and ashes. I am not goiua to speak of that I Just want to at, tract youratteoU.in to It, that those of you In thJs Western country who are our allies In everything, who ha%'e been following Hie ban , ner of Now England and those Eastern manufacturing Stales in your eff.irts to cru?h and i enslave the Southern people by your adherence to the Republican party?tnose of you who have been told to vote as you shot and i have done It?I simply %ant to saj to you ' that 1 am glad thai daylight Is at last dawning and that you real ze, after twenty-live ; years, that we have a community of Interests between the South and the West, and you are turning to us with lotting eyes ;o come and holp you bat< le lor your own lnterest,and undo the wrong you have done to us. [Apr plause.l We can stand anything down our , way. [Laughter.] Our climate is so genial, , our soil so fertile that we have been enabled to rehabilitate our country and to enter the race with the Northern people, a long ways behind It Is true, hut still rapidly gaiulng. Although we are behind you in theuroductlon of iron, we are steadily approaching you : in that, and the same is true In the manufacture of cotton and other enterprises. The luterest the larmersdown there have paid since '65 has aoioant?i>io from 10 to 100 per cent, for wliat we have bought on credit, and'yet we have stood it, and we are not so deeply In debt now as you are. [Laughter.] I tell you that we may have been fklnned by the financial system and the tariff so Ioi.g that we have got no skin left and have learned to live without it. (Laughter and api plause.) It does my soul good to know that your withers are wruntr, that your backs are being bared until you nave risen up and intend to help us grow some skin ourselves in order that you may save your own. (Great applause.) THE NEGK0 QUESTION. "What Is the matter with us? What has been the hone of contention? The negro question. The Kepubllcan party has been waving that old rag?the bloody shirt?and has made accusations of murder and of bulldozing, of ballot box stuffing and all that sort of tblug, but the greatest curse of all to us has been those who were told to \ote us they shot and wQo have followed blindly the dictation ol Republican orators, and voted on sectional and race lines only. You shot us hack Into the Union and we Intend to stay there. [Applause.] We are ready to help > ou to make It a real Union. (Applause.) We are ready to shake hands across the bloody chasm and throw away the malice and hatred we have felt for the wrong we have endured. Wlil you let us? [Crie*ol "Yes!" "yes!") Can we trust you? [Cries of "Yes!" "yes!"] But let me call your attention to something. lt>HUgliter.] A voice: ".Spit It oui." Yes, I am going to spit It out. (Laughter) It may be bitter, but yon p ople up here have the fever and quinine will do you good. [Laughter ] I have found my old frlenu, the Governor of Colorado, the most recalcitrant, ret hot, old-time State's rights Democrat I e*er met In my life. (Laughter and applause.) He Is masquerading as a Populist because he is ashamed to say he has been mistaken so long. (Laughtei.) Have any ol you ever beard ol the Hamburg riot? I do not sup pose there is a man here who has not, because It was heralded all over the Union and held up as a typical .Southern outrage. Hamburg Is within thirteen inilesof my home. 1 ain a Hamburg rioter, and I desire to ask If you would take me to be a man who would murder negroes in cold blood and wilboul provocation? (Applause.) Wo had to rUo in our despair uud undertake to restore Anglo-Saxon civilization, or leave our homes. The rotten government taslened by Grant upou ub from IS08 to 1S76 became so burdensome that we preferred martial law to a continuation oi robber government. Well, that is the situation. There are in South Carolina 140,000 mule negroes over twenty-one years of age; there 1m a 40,000 negro majority, and they point to that fact as evidence that thai State ought to go Republican. What do the men in the New England States, where thousands upon thousands are employed In the iactories, do when they want to carry an election ? They say to their operatives,"If you don't vote like wo want you to vote, you can move on." That is all right. | We, down In our country, In our endeavor to I maintain good government and good order, j use our means and say, "if you dou'tlike It, help yourselves." There is 2,000 negro major- j I Itv in mv county, and Grant had a regiment of troop's there" In '7(i trying to prevent ub Irom carrying it. and we beat them 3,000 voles. (Laughter and apulaiise.) I make uo apology lor It. You would have done the 8aine, and you would not h ive endured one-tenth of what we hail to endure. We were a conquered people and we had to submit. THE SOLID SOUTH. What has kept the South solid? Why won't it split up ou economic questions ? you | ask. I tell you. gentlemen, there is but one | thing that lias kept the South solid, and that will keep tt solid as long as we are threatened | with It, and that is the fear of negro domination, and the restoration of those govern; men ts that robbed us of over 815,000,000 during | the short time they were In existence. Why don't we vote wltb yon up here? Why don't we vote with the Populists? you ask. Why don't we give yon some insurance? I tell jou perfectly plain and blunt. Let us understand one another. You have h en the most recalcitrant, red-hot, black Republicans In this Union. I mean oy that Refiubllcans who are forever and eternally harpng about the "poor negro." They love him according to the square of the distance, and have uned him for nothing else on the race of God's earth than for perpetuating the Republican party In power. Now they talk about taking away a certain part of our representation and disfranchising the negro. There are men at the North, and there are hundreds of thousands or them, who are ready to join us in a scheme to disfranchise the poor and Ignorant every where. The anarchist, communist and other foreign riff raff give them theague. When they enfranchised the negro they gave us a club that we have since used in a very scientific manner to club them with. They gave us thirty to lorty additional votes lu the Electoral College and the additional members of Congress by reason of negro representation. HAVE USED THE CLUB. We have used this club very skillfully to pre-erve our liberties up to this time. They gave us the club to use and we are going to hold on to it, and It will be to your benefit that we do hold on to It, because wltb It we will win tbls tight for silver and the rights ol the masses In which we are now engaged, and beat those who are mainly Instrumental In enfranchising the negro to perpetuate Republican rule. Now, gentlemen, I have told you that the * - - ' ? *- Tu? klnnlraof negro is trie irouuic wnu un. aiic Republicans, tbe staunches! ami tnost outriigeous, in their demands that the negro Id the South nhould have a free vote and a fair couni, were In theNorthwest. That waH their shibboleth and battle cry. It was the Republican watchword In this quarterof tlieUulon. Kansas used to give 80,00!) majority to the Republican ticket; Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa were equally Fate. Those Republican States have been as sale and certain tor the Republican nominee as South Carolina Is for the Democratic party, In spite of the 40,000 negro majority. This whole North?and especially the farmers? was that way and they used the spites and hatreds of tbe war to Induce you to "vote as you shot;" and they have qulellv regulated the progress and growth of tbe c untry In that little corner over youder East of Lake Michigan and North of the Potomac River. a pertinent question. "What are yon going to do about It?" "Where are we at?" I asked you a moment ago If we could trustyou; andsomeof you said "yes." Iowa Is not represented here; Minnesota Is not represented here; neither ol the Dakota* is represented here. Governor Lewelllng: Iowa was represented here by General Weaver. IJnvMiinpTillman : Yes.and he said he wan ready (o meet as half way and x 11 that sort ol thin*, und then he stopped. Where did we look tor assistance and help? We found it in the staunch Democracy of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. We could uotcouie here because Ephralm was wedded to his Idols and we had to let you alone. II you are ready to lea\e those Idols and set up a uew god?a god of our whole country?a god whom we can all appreciate as free Americans?we are ready to Join hands with you, (Applause) Hut we cannot, we dare not, spurn the itrldge which has carried us salely over until we know upon what we may de pend. To-day, gentlemen, some ol your Representative* in Congress who t.re making lliU gallant light In behalf of silver and lor the emancipation of the people from ihis financial thraldom are as bitter In their feelings to the South as they have ever been. This h a complex condition for uh. If we would keep from beiug ground to powder we will Join forces with you as soon as we have guarantees (hat can be trusted Implicitly. (Applause.) The Democracy of the East appear to have deserted the Democratic standard,are Ignoring our platform or are construing It t<j suit themselves, and are in open alliance wittj the Republicans lu their HnaucUl policy. A* they have left us of the South on the silvei question, can we trust you of the West on the negro question ? "CAN WE TtttTST YOU ?" The gentleman from Kansas tells me we ore right. My friend over there says they will turn their Senators out If ihey try that, and all that sort of thing. Perhaps ho. 1 tell yot It Is the God's truth and that as much as w< realize and understand the evils that confroni us In the single gold standard, and the losset mui 11 win email upon me peopip, me giidu lniuperpetual poverty that confronts us If th< gold standard Is adopted Id this coublry, li d.tes not begin to compare with negro doml nation In tlie South, aud belore we will per mit it we will die. Understand me, we are ready to give lh< negro all his rights uuder Ihe law. We dc not propose to oppress or injure him in anj way. while I do not pretend thai there ww not fraud and bullbozlng, both In 1S76 and l&ii in South Carolina, there has been none o either since 1*82; and If we ure left to bo1v? the negro problem in oui;own way, the bettei It will be lor him and all concerned. Unlesi the while men of the south and West can re move this stumbling block which now sep* rates them, the next decade we will see mort white slaves in the United States than then were ever colored ones. The emancipation o ihe Anglo-Saxon and the preservation of oui government?ibe prevention of a plutoeraoj more grinding thanthatof Rome, merits oai attention. I am nearly through. I think we under stand each other tully, but iu order to turt this iuto a practical shape let us start oul rigUU AS 1 UI1U JUU, 1 Bill U(U n unless you consider p'alu common sense pot Itlcs.

WILL NOT CRITICISE THE PRESIDENT. What do those millionaires up there care sc long as they can clip their coupons and go tr Europe and buy such official positions as Minister to luily?did I say buy ? Ob, no ! |Laughter.] You must not think that sort of a thing Is dune when a Democratic fre>ident gives u nice fat position to a fellow who helps out u campaign fund?like Mr. Van Allen did. But the Republicans were Just as bad. Look at Little Johnnie Wamiumaker. (Laughter.j Hlght here I will lake occasion to say that i haven't a word ol abuse tor Mr. Cleveland : don't think it does any good. I was sorry tc hear the gentleman noin Alabama (Mr. SkaKg*-) paxx those strictures on him this morning. He Is the President of the United States, auil lie was put there by a large majority, ami under circumstances that ought lo make him the proudest man In American history, because it Is something that has never been doue in this country before. His future place in the history ot siatesmeu will depend on whether his parly elects his successor or not, for I believe he has absolutely smashed the Democratic party to atoms. I will ieuve him to tils own conscience and the Judgment of his countrymen. As i said, it is a certainty that without cross lug either of these rivers we can capture both the l'i estdency and t he Senate; aud I am v< ry certain that we ought to have a lighting chance of getting three ol the States East ol lite Mississippi and maybe four, and certainly enough straggling congressmen who are patriotic enough to vote lor the country as a whole rather than their individual Interest, or at lite dictation of Wall street, to give us a majority in Congress and restore our country and tiring it back to Its original purposes, which w?'re "Ilie greatest good to the greatest number" without Interfering with the rights and liberties ol any section. [Applause.] SOUT1I AND WKST. factionalism ! Well, we can't help It, if the Interests of one p-irt of our country are antagonistic to those of another.

Hnve you ever watched the deteI ri.>ratiug"efifccta of sin even upon the |personal appearance? Take a youth of extreme beauty, and let him, little ;,by little, be led iu'o wicked practices; . in proportion as he is ho led will the register of bis descent be written upou i hid whole attitude and manner*. . Quite unperceptibly, I admit, but with ' awful exactness and depth. The eyes, , once so clear and steady in look, will > be marked by suspicion, uncertainty, ; or timidity of movement; their glances will not be like nun rays dart ing through thick foliage, but rather ' like a dark lantern turned on skillfully i to see what is happening here and - there, but throwing no light on the ' man who holds it. And strange line* l will be woven around the mouth : and ? the lips, so well cut, so guileless and r generous will be tortured into ugliness i and sensual enlargement; and the voice, once so sweet, so ringing, the ' r very music of a character unstained t and fearieus, will contract some mock' I"" fmino iiHil oliu itaalf lin tfl ft 111(1 H ?|IU5 vwmo aini .vv.. ? ? j laughter, partly deceitful and partly defiant.

' Does the wholly sanctified Christian have a daily erne* to bear? If so in 3 what does it consist?" e Answer. "If any man will comeaf3 ter me," says Jesus. '"Let him deny g himself and take up his cross daily r and follow me." This looks like a J "dally cross." And as it is "any g man," which means every man, it must take in all. We all have crosses I to bear. 1. The cross of self-denial. Not h every self-denial may be called a crows, but every cross may be said to be selfy denial. * 2. The cross of forbearance with f. the weakness and follies of others. It | is about all we can do to endure the conduct of even some persons profess* int? holiness. It is a great strain on our patieuce. But we take up tbe cross e and endure it because we believe their j hearts are right but they possess weak \r and defective judgements 6 3. The cross of opposition of sinners. e Jesus endured this cross,(Heb, xii:2), ? and we are to "consider Him that ells' dured such contradiction of sinners y against himself lest we faint." 4. Tbe cross of testimony. It is ' sometime a cross to coufess Chriet. t'l There are circumstances under which it is almost killiug. But it tuust be "} done if it makes martyrs of us. In e these various ways among others, we are cross-bearers, and In some form it | comes to us daily Christian Witness. r* q ? The Boston Transcript tells the roiy lowing story of Protestor Blackie: Blackie Mas lecturing to a new class with whose personnel he was imperr fectly acquainted. A student rose to D read a paragraph, Bis hook lu his left hand, "sir!" thundered Blackie, hold your book in your right hand!" ?and as the student would have s spoken?"No words, sir! Your right . hand, I say!" The stu'lent held up s- bis right arm, ending piteouxly at the wrist. "Sir, I hae nae right hand!" i he said. Before Blackie could open y his lips there arose such a storm of hiuses as one perhaps must go to Ediu* i" burgh to bear; and by it his voice was u> overborne. Then the profosor left m Ul his place and wmt down to the stuUl dent he had uuwittingly hurt and v o< put his arm around the lad's shoulders ln and drew him close, and the lad leann,1 ed against his breast. '"My boy," said nt Blackie?he spoke very softly, but Dl not so softly but that everv word wasauI" 'lible in the hush that falleu on the had - claxs room?"my l>oy. you'll forgive _ me that I was over rou-.il>? I did not know?I did not know!" He turned to the students and with a look and tone that came straight from his great - heart, he 6aid: "Aud let me say to you all, I am rejoiced to be shown I am teaching a class of gentlemen." ~ Scottish lads can cheer as well as hiss, *- ..nJ Mini niunlria luampll OUU lUai UIUVUIV ... ^ "How do I Know lie's Divine?" A backwoods preacher, who knew little of books or theology, but who m had what was a vast deal letter, ^ a practical knowledge of salvation through Christ, was before a Conference - Committee once for examination. - "Brother," said one of his wise examiners, "will you please name come of the evidences of the divinities of - our Lord Jesus Christ?" The brother's face wore an expres~ sion of puzzled bewilderment, and he 2 was silent. m The examiner repeated his question : n "What makes you think Christ is diD vine?" With his eyes full of tears he started to his feet, and stretching out his arms and hands, he exelamed : "How do I know he's divine? Why, o bless you he saved my soul, and I love u him for it." II I- The t'ortriveneiis of Injarle*. ' If a mau commits au offense against u?, misreprerents us, insults us, injures n, us in any way, what are wefodo? 1 Brood over it? That is what some Christian people nearly always do. _ It i- is wonderful what care they take to ? set all pain and suffering out of an offence tbey can. They might have brushed it away at once and have " done with it; but no, the hasty bitter word, the selfish act, they lay upon thier memory ; and they will not forget it, what ever else they forget. . . . If a man injures you, do not ? brood over it. Nor must you talk about it to everybody you meet. What is your motive for speaking about the injury? Do you want your friends to take sides wiih you against y the offender? You ought to waut to - make the offender himself to take Hides - with you against the offense. The more people know or me wrong, iue more feeling you can crea'e against ihe wrong doer, the harder you make " it for him to acknowledge hid fault.? ? R. W. Dale, in Good Words. ^ s By a little forethought and pelf con9 trol, the time which we hpetid in res gret over the utterance ol an unkind word, or the doing of a thoughtless or ? cruel act, might yield a two-fold better [ harvest?that of a happier heart of the injured, and our own. ^ Never did any soul do good, but it came readier to do the same again, t wiih more enjoyment. Never wa? } love or grutitude or bounty practiced, i but with increasiugjoy; which made i ihe practiser still more in love with Ithemir act.
