I (_'o a little urtiher on inl your house and I find the mot,er' chair. It i- very apt to be a rockit: chair. She had so inany cares and troubles to soothe that it must have rolckers. I remember it well. It wa-s atl old chla i, and the roc k er.,i were almost worn out, ihr I was the Iotingest. and the chair litd rocked the whole 14tmilv. It made a creaking noise as it moved; bt, there wts inusic im the sotind. It was just high enloigl to a low us children to put, our heads into Iter hap. That was the bank where we de posited till our hurts and worries. Ah! what a chair that was. It was difFerent from the fither's chair; it was entirely dilffere.it. You ask me how? I cannot tell; bti. we tall felt it was different. 'er haps there was about, that chair more rentletess, more tenleriness, more griel when we had done wrong. When we were wayward, flather scolded, but moth L!r cried. It was a very wakeful chair. li the sick days of*children, other chairs ,,outld nt1t keep awake; thatchair always kept awake--kept easily awake. That aair knew tall the old lullabies and all Lhose wordless songs which mothers ;in, to their sick children-songs in which all 1) ty, and compassion and symi pathetic influences are combined. That )ld chair has stoppeil rocking to a good many yea's. 1. may be set utp in the loft or the garret, but it holds a queenly power yet. When at miidight you went ilito that grogh- 1op to get the intoxicat tag draughit, did you not hear a voi e Lhat said: "My son, why go in there?" And louder than the boisterous encore Af the phace of sinul amusement, a voice iayinv. "My son, what do you here?" And when. you went, Into the house of ibandonient, a voice saying, "What would your mother (o 1i she knew you were here?" And %ou were provoked with yourself, and yotu charged yourself with su.1perstition antid liaticism and your head tot, hot with your thoughts, mid You weit hoimle and 30U WetIt to bed, and no sooner iad you touched tIe bed than a voice aid: -Whiatt' a pray irless pilloW! Mtti,! what is t,he mat ter?" This: Y ou are too near j,our moth,Er's rocking chair. "-Ohi, pshaw!" vou say, "There's nothing in that; [lm 50 niles oil' from where I was born: 1'in 3,000 miles oil [rom the hiurch wih)se hell was the first music I ever itard.'' I cannot lelp that; you are two near yolri mother's rocking chair. "Oh,'' you say, 'there Can't he anlythint! itn that; that chair has beetn vacant a great 'hile.' I cannot help that; it is ad tihe mightier for that; it is omnlipotent, that vacant mother's chair. IL whispers; it speaks; it weeps; it carols: it nourns; it prays; it warns; it thunders. A young manwentofi and broke his mother's heart, and while lie was away from home his mother died, and the telegraph brought the son, and lie came mnto dih room where she lay and looked upon her lace, and() lie cried out: "()I. mother! mother! what your lile ohittl not, do yotr death shall effect.

How that child bieaks up the hard worldliness of* the place, and keeps you young to 60, 70, and 80 years of age! If you have no child of your own adopt one; it wil open heaven to your s.-ul. It will pay its way. Its crowing the morning will give the dJay a cheerful starting, and its glee at night will give the day a cheerful c,ose.

IIe has filled heav- St en with that kinl of trouble. pE A pioneer in California says that for Al zhe first year or two after his residence c in Sierra Nevada county, there was not Lit a sin-ule child in all te reach of a hun- P( dread miles. But the Fourth of July bi caie, and the miners were gather-d P( together and they were celebratiog the is Fourth with oration, and poem, and a tr boisterous brass tiand; and while the band hit was playing. an infant's voice was heard hi crying, and all the miners were startled, 1 and the swarthy men began to think of w their homes on the Eastern coast, audof w their wives and children far away, and hi their hearts were thrilled with home- C sickness as they heard the babe cry. to But the music went on, and the child v( cried louder and louder, and the brass band played louder and louder, trying is' to drown out the infantile interruption, itV when a swarthy miner, the tears rolling 8e down his face, got up and shook his list, T and said: "Stop that noisy band, and in ,rive the baby a chance." Oh! there at was pathos in it, as well as good cheer at in it. There is nothing io arouse, and th melt, and subdue the soul like a child's mN voi.e. But, when it goes away Irom you, fu the high chair becomes a high.r chair, of and there is desolation all about you. In Oc three fourths of the homes of this con- eE gregation there is a vacant high chair. fr Somehow you never get over it. There til is no one to put to bed at night; no one bt to ask strange questions about God and d( heaven. Oh, what is thseuSe Of tat ot hIghI chaire it is to call you higher. la What a drawing upward it is to have Si children in heaven! And then it is such re a preventive avainst sin. It a father is pi going away into sin, he leaves the living 1l of his children with their mother; but if ti the lather is going away into sin, what is he ..oing to do with dead children Iloat- it ing about him, and hovering over his cl every wayward tep. Oh, speak out, 1) vacant high chair, and say: "'Father, el conie back from sin; mother, conic back a from worldliness. I am watching you. e: I am waiting for you." With respect to b your child, the words o! my text, have t( been fullilled: "Thou shalt, be missed, f because thy seat will be empty." 11 My hearers. I have gathered up the d voices of your departed friends and tried to intone thei into one invitation up- i ward. I set in array all t,he vacant, chairs L of your homes and ol' our social cir cle, and I bid them cry out this morning: "Time is short, Eternity is near. Take my Saviour. Be at peace with my God. 0" Come up where 1 ain. We lived togeth- u( er on earth, conic let us live together in . heaven." We answer that invitation. i We come. Keep a seat for us, as Saul kept a seat for David, but that seat shall P not be empt,y.

A meeting was held in tho Grand Central hotel last night, and (lie rough draft of an address was itatle which was completed today.

I t is proposed to go to work and thor oighly org:.nize in evry couity, and if at- all stiCessful to enter the lielI of s!ate potiles in earnes. The address is as l ollows: The leputhcan league o1 South Car oliit, Items it proper to publish a few briel* statelients which will refute c'r tain slaidiers that have recently heei ptiblished ani otherwise circulated by those calling themuselves Rtepuiblicans, but whr are unfriendly to the league movement. The extravagant and unw.trr,antfl ehar.-os that are mado both in print and in a private way sgainst the colored clergy as well as against some of the luen who are prominently connected with this ih>ptiblican club organizatioti bith in ant outside of tile state, impels is L I his action. I. We wish to state that there Wias n11 itnil raised in IBoston last year or at any other tine and put into the hands of \l r. NIcLain or any other tiember of the league to help the Farmers Alliance in I his state. 2. In consequence2 of the foregoing ite wholesale charges of' corruption ti:uo against. the colored clergy falls loverless at, the feet, of these people. itt ihe election last fall fully demons i rated oe patent fact -that the colored race is toit hereafter to be traded on by thle mere ioliical spectilator- -no furth er prool ol the impotency of those who It(,r ye;ars claiiedl to b1e the custodians l 1i he colored vote is nveded -they could .ot it-liver anything -this farce can be carriel oni no longer. 3. Nveir before have we known (Gen. - Clarkson branded as a cirriiptionist, I I )in t lie contrary we know hitit to be a liure and k1pright ilan, and one whoml any p:irty or st;te couilil well be prou I of. And we think the Ittepublican I l';j,e of the t 'nited States is to be con - gratilated on its choice of so able and - ilicient an organizer. 1. It is, however, very easy to deline the re:tson why that element iti this state wh-]to have formed the habit of thiriking that they had a in1onlopoly of the manie ieptiblicai would be greatly igitatetdI antI concerned onl account of the league movement.
