Dr. Talmage in the Manufacturing Towns of Middle England. The Seraph Covered His Face "When He Approached the Throne of God. This Seems to Be an Age of Irreverence?Fools Make a Mock of Sin. London, August *28.?During the past week Dr. Talmage has been preaching to enormous audiences in the great manufacturing towns of the English midland counties. The sermon selected for publication this week is on Isaiah vi, 2. ""With twain he covered his face, with twain ho covered his feet, and with twain he cua nv. In a hospital of leprosy good King Uzziali had died and the whole land was shadowed with solemnity, and theological and prophetic Isaiah was thinking about religious things, as one is apt to do in time of great national bereavement, and forgetting the .presence of his wife* and two sons, who made up his family, he has a dream, not like the dreams of ordinary character which generally come from indigestion, but a vision most instructive and under the touch of the hand of the Almighty. The place, the ancient temple: i buildiDg, grand, awful, majestic. I Within that temple a throne, higher, ! and grander than that occupied by : my Czar or Saltan or Emperor. On j that throne, the eternal Christ. In J lines surrounding that throne the j brightest celestials, not the cherubim, i but higher than they; the most ex- j }uisite and radiant of the heavenly j nhabitants, the seraphim. They are i called burners, they look like fire, j r.ins nf firp pvps of firp. fppf, of i r ' ? - I ire. In addition to the features and j :he limbs which suggest a human j oeing there are pinions which sug- J juest the lightest, the swiftest, the ' most buoyant and most inspiring of j ill intelligent creation?a bird. Each j serap had siz wings, each two of the ' tvings for a different purpose. Isaiah s I lie-tin q'Jl'vers and Hashes with these ! pinions. Now folded, now spread, j now beaten in locomotion.

The seraph j standing there near the throne, over- j whelmed at the insignificance of the ! \ 0 paths his feet had trodden as compare with the paths trodden by the feet of i God, and with the lameness of his loco- j motion, amounting almost to decrepi- ! tude as compared with the divine ve- j locity, with feathery veil of angelic modesty hides the feet. "With twain i he did cover the feet."' Standing there overpowered by j the overmatching splendors of God's glory, and unable longer with the { eyes to look upon them, and wishing I those eyes shaded from the unsuffer- j able glory, the pinions gather over j the countenance. "With twain he j did cover the face. Then as God j tells this sefaplrto go to the farthest | i outpost of immensity on message of light and love and joy, and get back before the first anthem, it does not take the seraph a great while to spread himself upon the air with un- I imagined celerity, one stroke of the wing equal to ten thousand leagues of air.

The Bridgewater Treaties, written by Sir Charles Bell, on the wisdom and goodness of God as ili lustrated in the human hand, was a ! result of the 840,000 bequeathed in the last will and testament of the ! Earl of Brigewater for the encour1 j ment of Christian literature.

With his large be; quest inducing Sir Charles Bell to ! write so valuable a book, on the wis! dom of God in the structure of the j human hand, the world could afford to forgive his oddities. And the world could now afford to have another Earle of Bridgewater, however idcsyncratic, if he would induce some other Sir Charles Bell to write a book on the -wisdom and goodness of God in the construction j of the human foot.

None of 1 us could endure the scrutiny. Our ^ feet not always in paths of God. 1 Sometimes in paths of worldliness. ] Our feet, a divine and glorious ma- 1 chinery for usefulness and work, so often making missteps, so often go- I ing in the wrong direction. God 1 knowing every step, the patriarch 1 saying, "Thou settest a print on tho < heels of my feet." Crimes of the i hand, crimes of the tongue, crimes ] of the eye, crimes of the ear not worse than the crimes of the foot. 1 Oh, we want the wings of humility " to cover the feet! Ought we not to J go into self abnegation before the all ] scrutinizing, all trying eye of God? < The seraphs do. How much more < we. "With twain he covered the < feet.'' ( Another seraphic posture in the J text, "With twain he covered the ( face." That means reverence God- 1 ward. Never so much irreverence ( abroad in the world as today.

They talk of the love 1 of God in such a way which shows 3 ycu they think it is a general jail ! delivery for all the abandoned and ' the scoundrelism of the universe. Xo punishment heraftcr for any 1 wrong done here. The bible gives us two descriptions of God, and they are just opposite, and they are both true. In one place God is love. In another place the bible says God is a consuming fire. ' ! The explanation is as plain as can be. God through Christ is love. God out of Christ is fire. To win the one and escape the other we have only to throw ourselves?body, mind and soul?into Christ's keeping. "No,1" says Irreverence, "I want no atonement, I want no pardon, I want no intervention; I will go up and face I onrl T Trill hhnllpno-p him. and I ^ 0 , will defy him, and I will ask him what he wants to do with me." So the finite confronts the infinite, so a tack ham! mer tries to break a thunderbolt, so j the breath of the human nostrils de. fies the everlasting God while the heirarches of heaven bow the head j and bend the knee as the King's chariot goes by, and the archangel ! turns away because he cannot en! dure the splendor, and the chorus of { all empires of heaven comes in with i -f?ll ^tiaitr vlnlrl'' i U 11 Ulttpa.-)W1, JLAV/JLJ- , XJ.V/AJ , .

B.ut we want more reverence for God, more reverence for the sacraments, more reverence for the bible, more reverence for the pure, more reverence for the good. Reverence a characteristic of all great natures. You hear it in the roll of the master oratories. You see it in the Rapha-ls and Titian* and Ghirlandijos. You j study it in the architecture of the Vi'iwiSi. ! | iliiuiiliua uuu \jLii i,;uu|.uvi ' j Do not be flippant about God. l>o not joke about death. Do not make ' | fun of the bible.

Who is this God "before whom the irrogant and intractable refuse reverence? There was an engineer of the aame of Strasicrates who was in the employ of Alexander the Great, and ae offered to hew a mountain in the shape of his master, the Emperor, the enormous figure to hold in his left hand a eity of ten thousand inhabitants, while with the right hand it was to hold a basin large enough to collect all the mountain torrents. Alexander applauded him for his inEjenunity, but forbade the enterprise because of its costliness.

There nust be celerity and beauty in the novement. "Wuh twain he did fly." Correction, exhilaration. Correction it our slow gait, for we only crawl n the service when we ought to fly it the divine bidding. Exhilaration n the fact that the soul has wings is the seraphs have wings. What .s a wing? An instrument of locomo:ion. They may not be like seraph's wing, they may not be like bird's wings. God says so. ''He shall mount up on wings as eagles." "We ire made in the divine image, and 3od has wings. The Bible says so. 'Healing in his wings." "Under the shadow of his wings." "Under whose wing thou hast come to trust." We have folded wing now, wounded wing, broken wing, bleeding wing, :aged wing. Aye! I have it now. Caged within bars of bone and under curtains of flesii, but one day to be free. I hear the rustle of pinions in Seagrave's poem which we often sing: Rise my soul, and stretch thy wings. I hear the rustle of pinions in Alexander Pope's stanza, which says: I mount, I fly, 0 Death, where is thy victory ? A dying Christian not long ago cried out: "Wings, wings, wings!" The air is full of them, coming and going, coming and going. You have seen how the dull chrysalid becomes the bright butterfly; the dull and stupid telhargic turn into the alert and the beautiful. Well, my friends, in this world we are in a chrysalid state. Death will unfurl the wings. Oh, if we could only realize what a grand thing it will be to get rid of this old clod of the body and mount the heavens, neither seagul] not lark nor albatross nor falcon noi condor pitching from the highest range of Andes so bouyant or sc majestic of stroke. See that eagle in the mountair nest. It looks so sick, ragged feath ered, so worn out and so half asleep Is that eagle dying? No.. The orni thologist will tell you it is molting season with that bird. Not dying but molting.

Atlanta, Aug. 26.?The following Athens, Ga., special to the Constitution, gives the details of horrible tragedy in Madison county. The story as told by two of the most prominent citizens of Madison county is as follows: The name of the parents of the children is "Wilson, living in Madison county about twelve miles from Athens. It seems that a few days since Mr Wilson had left his home for the purpose of going to a mill some distance away, and Mrs. "Wilson went to the spring to do some washing. She had left the house but a shori while when screams attracted her at tention, and hastening there sh< found two of her children dead anc the third oDe quite sick. The little follnw "\invcovPV flhlp tn tallr and <;rm they had poked their fingers througl a crack in the floor and a hen unde: the house had bitten them all. Mrs. "Wilson then hurried back t< the spring and there found that lie little baby had crawled into th< spring and was drowned. Th mother gathered the baby in he ; arms and returned to the house an< 1 found the little boy also dead. 0 1 course the strain was too great fo human endurance, and the mothe ' fainted away. > In a few minutes Mr. Wilso: returned from the mill, and the sigh i that met his gaze is beyond descrij tion?four children dead, and hi wife on the floor in an unconsciou - condition. j As soon as possible he secured th , assistance of neighbors and restore i tives were applied, and Mrs. Wilso 1 gained consciousness. As soon a s she couici speak, sue repeated ay in I the littlo boy had said. A scare e was made, and h huge ratth sua], e was found under the house and kille; il The above are the facts in the eat just as told by two reliable cilizei is from this county, who assert that tl y story is true in every particular. ^ Try BLACK-DRAUGHT tea for Dyspepsia. I The Word We Gave. p > The Colombia State. y 13. R. Tillman is renominated for Governor of South Carolina, and elected. j AYe say that ho is elected, because j the vote next November could not be a more conclusive of his retention in office than that which was cast in the i Democratic primary on Tuesday. To 0 that primary his opponents in con- 1 vcntion last March committed their L case, pledging themselves to abide by its decision: and a large majority of them, who voted against him in the primary, took an oath to support the nominee. As honorable men, those who thus committed themselves will keep their obligations, ,, * i mi mi 1 ^ However repulsive, mere win De 110 opposition to Governor Tillman's election in November by those who ^ took part in the Conservative movenient. As he has been cordially sup- j ported in the Democratic primary by an overwhelming majority of the ^ Third party men, he is not likely to meet with any opposition from that ^ quarter, and if we are to judge of Republican sentiment by the cordiality with which certain members of ^ the latter party have been welcomed to the bosom of his faction, it is equally improbable that he will have a Republican opponent. The Gov- , emor will therefore have the pieasaut ^ distinction of re-entering into office . i n'ifli fV>? ormvnhntirvn r?f slI 1 r>artips w. j except a minority of his own. We accept the decision of the primary with all necessary philosophy. ' We have been jealous of the honor of South Carolina and solicitous of the good of her people, and hence have dealt Governor Tillman as many straightforward blows as we could; but as the reputation of the State has been tarnished by a first term it cannot be greatly smirched in adO J dition by a second, and since those' whose rights and interests the Governor has especially threatened have declared by their votes that they are willing that he shall do with them as ? 1 Wi i! i i iTi'" *r.-a Ti" * " complaint upon that. One observation of a general character, however, we shall permit ourselves. We read, once upon a time, in a century, old volume of adventure, of the punishment a stray Englishman received from some barbarous tribe in the Orient. He . was chained in the sun to the festering corps of a fellow-victim. It seems to us that there is a resemlant hideousness in the political nnnishment which binds in abhor rent union the Conservative Democracy of South Carolina to a reeking clog of communism and Third partyism. Messieurs torturers, this thing i may pass beyond endurance, and some day the chain may be snapped . and the carcass buried. It will not be this year. We have engaged to , hold our noses for a time. But no bonds are strong enough to hold to, gether repellant political forces, and should you continue the course of the last two years, the brutal intol s erance and ostracism oi tne Dest L Democrats of the State while using their name to advance the cause of a hostile party, you are not likely to get any more biennial oaths taken. > Good Looks.

The limited supply of peaches this s year and their generally inferior s quality, except from a few districts into which the disease has not yet e spread, are attributed almost entirely L_ to this cause. n Professor Erwin F. Smith of the ,s Agricultural Department, who has it given much attention to this subject, li j reports that the disease, which was :c ! originally confined to a small district 1 i on the Atlantic coast, has now spread ! so as to include the Delaware and 1S I Chesapeake region and the Peninsula 10 I of Maryland. It is abundantly established that it is contagious. It has extended during the present year as far south as Southern Virginia, and robably as far west as Arkansas and Jbrtheasfcern Texas. Peach growers are earnestly adised to stamp out the disease by the iestruction of the trees in which it ppears immediately on its lirst ' 11* - l laniiestanons, anu are waiui-u gaiust the importation of trees from he infested districts. The primary and peculiar systems f peach yellows are only two: The ed spotting and abnormally early natality of the fruit, and the preraaure germination of ordinary winter >uds, or of obscure buds buried in he bark of the trunk and limbs. ??

The country school is a unit of i great value in the national problem. I ''How shall we improve itf' In an j swer to this question may I suggest: i 1. Is not the intensity of American , business life too much carried into J the primary schools, drawing too j heavily upon the nervous force of | American childhood? , 2. Will not better and more lasting ? results be attained by "making haste" more "slowly?" 3. May not fewer hours in the school room, supplemented by out door and industrial teaching, be bet- - - ter for the child physically as well J as mentally, and as a preparation for active life? -i. Cannot the country child, while attending the district school, become so well acquainted with: and made so to delight in, the pursuits of agriculture and horticulture, be led so gentley and pleasantly into such an intimate acquaintance with, and love of nature, as often to determine the trend of later life in the direction of rural pursuits, or of scientific inquiry? 5. Will not all this uplift rural life to higher plane? Well, how? Perhaps I cannot tell you. The plan will certainly require different teachers, to some extent, or at least teachers better informed in some directions. Possibly almost any bright girl of seventeen tolerably well instructed in the unsnal common school studies, may satisfactorily ; teach the rudiments of arithmetic, geography and grammar; but to take a school of thirty or forty children of various grades of mental capacity, ! aud train them into accurate obser> vers, close thinkers and good reasoners with reference to the common 5 things of their lives and their sur? roundings, is quite a different matter, * and needs more thoughtful and better read teachers than many found in nnr ennntrv schools. In no school a i is needed teachers of a better grade of intellect than in the. primary, and iflPV in xio ^onocr carr - nmter I be made of a broad scientific and i literary culture. It would seem as if a part of the f time usually devoted to arithmetic, J grammar and geography, useful as I these branches are. might be better employed. Wliv should a bright child require half a dozen years to master these branches sufficiently for all useful practical uses'? Suppose we take one /?b Af? rtf A 4-1 m A or?/l _ ^ 01 UlUlluxiun an a ni.u^, auu \.vuj centrate study upon it. Should not one hour daily, under a competent I teacher, give an intelligent boy or girl of twelve or fourteen, as good a knowledge of eith<rof branches , as is usuallv had in >.!! fhe vears . 1 spent in the common school? If not, why not? i Let there be no more than four in (. summer, and no more than three ? hours of in door school work, and but ] one hour at a time. A low one of these main studies an hour's work; e the reading, and reading to under.. stand; writing?and as soon as possis ble writing to express ide^; drawing f and spelling; and after this oral lecs tures by the teacher on any topic, o scientific, literary or historical, that , may be thought advisable. After that let all go out ot doors. Make each school an experiment station of .. agriculture and horticulture. 3 Let the teachers conduct expedi 11 * J ii. . s tions to neign coring iarms, 10 me g fields and the woods. Let the chile dren learn how crops are grown and c why so grown; what obstacles meet d the farmer, the fruit grower and the ir gardener, and how they may be sur:e mounted. Teach them of the sod, the plant. Let each child conduct experiments of their own. Make a part of the school grounds a garden. Am I writing of Utopia? "Would not the outcome of this be a greater " love of, and an intelligent interest in rural life, that would propuce a class 's of wide awake agriculturalists, of * thorough scientists and of reverent u seekers after truth and God? But it is hard to get out of deeply worn ;r ruts. ts Let vs have no high pressure syso tem of conducting our country schools. Let us remember that children have bodies?that physical as well as mental strength is necessary d to build up a strong nation. Let us remember that brains crowded with undigested and indigestable facts of e* no special value in ordinary circumstances, may not be as useful organs 2. as those trained 1 o observe accurately, e think clearly and bring knowledge a to bear promptly on the necesities of actual life, Perfumery of all kinds.
