Ruth and Naomi arrive at !kthlhit- is. harvest time. It was the custom when a sheaf fell from a load in fl.u Lirvest field for the reapers to re tui t h .ather it up; that was to be left for the poor who might happen to come that way. II there were handfuls of -rain Iscattered across tle field after the maim hi vest. had been reaped, instead of ral.ilg it, I Farmers (10 now it was, bv ll:e custom (if the land, left in its place. o) that the poor, coming along that way. mi,ht glean it and get their hicad. But, you say, "What is the use of all these harvest fields to Ruth and Naomi' Naomi is too Old and feeble to go out and toil inl the sun; anti can Nou expect that luth, the young and the beatifil, shond tan her cheeks al blister her hands iin the harvest field?" Ioaz owns a large larm, and lie goes (lit to see the reapers gather in the -rai. Comintv there, right behind the swarthV, sun-browned reapers, lie be holds a beauitiful woman gleaning-a woman imore lit to bend to a harp or sit upon a throne than to stoop amioni the sheaves. Ah, that was aii eventful (lay! It was love at first siaht. Boax forms tant atttchment for the womanly gleaner -an attachment, full of undying interest to the church of ( God in all ag.s; while lRuth, with an ephah. or nearly a bushel of irley -oes home to Naomi to tell her the successes and adventures of the day. 'I'hiat Ruth, who left her native lanid of Moab ill darkness, and journeyed through an undying affection for her m other-in-law, is i ? the harvest-field of Ionz, is alflianced to one of the best flam ifies in.1 ilah, amid becomes in after-time the ancestress of Jesus Christ the Lord of glory! Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn so briglht a morning. I learn, in tle first place, from this sulcet, how trouble developes charac tr. IL was bereavement, povorty mid exile Ihat developed. illustrated and( anl 4 nounicedl to all ages the sublimity of Ihluth's character. That is a very un fortuniiitat ui whol has no trouble.

I oncve asked an aged man in regard to his past(or, who was a very brilliant man: "Why is it, that your pastor, so very brilliant, seen;s t,o have so litt,le tendernetiss inl his sermonls?'' "Well," lhe reliedf, ''he reason is, our p)astor hias inever* had any ti oumble. Wh len misfor tune1 comes upon himii, his st,yle wvill be different.'' After awhile the L ord took ai chil out of that paistor's house; and1( iough (lhe preachier was just na~ bril liant ais lhe was b)efore, oh, thie warmt,h, thIe t enderness of- his discourses! TIhe P laect is that, trouble is a great, educator. You (it 81 0sometimets ia mlusicianf sit, dhown at, tin instruinenit,, and his exect,ion is cohl andI formal and1( unileehinM.

And so it is individually, and In the family, u and in the enurch, and in the world that t throughidarkness and storm and trouble V men, women, churches, natio is, are de- U veloped. Again, I learn from my subject that events which seem to be most insignifi cant may be momentous. Can you im- 0 agine anything more unimportant than the coming of a poor woman from Moab a to Jud.ca? Can you imagine anything more trivial than the tact that this Ruth just happened to alight-as they say just happened to alight on that field of Boaz? Yet all ages. all generations, have an interest in the fact that she waik to become an ancestress of the Lord t Jesus Christ, and all nations and king- t doms must look at that one httle inci dent with a thrill of unmistakable and eternal satisfaction. So itis in your his tory and in mine; eveuts that you thought of no importance at all have been of very great moment. The cas ual conversation, that accidental meet ing-you did not think of it again for a long while; but how it changed all the current of your life! Again, I see in my text the beauty of unfaltering friendship. I suppose there were plenty of friends for Naomi while she was in prosperity: but of all her a C qu8intances, how many were willing to trudge off with her toward Judwca, when she had to make that lonely journey? One-the h'eroine of my text. One- J absolutely one. I suppose when Nao mi's husband wa.s living, and they had plenty of money, and all things went well, they had a great many callers; but I suppose that after her husband died, andt her property went, and she got old I and poor, she was not troubled very t much with callers. All the birdA that I sung In the'bower while the sun shone have ione to their nests, now the night I has fallen. Oh, these beautiful sun flowers that spread out their collor in the moening hour! but they are always asleep when the sun is going down! Job had plenty of friends when he was the rtchest wan I in Uz; but when his property went and the trials came, theik there were noue so much that pestered as Eliphaz the Te manite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zo phar the Naamathite. Life often seems to be a more game where the successful player pulls down all the other men into his own lap. Let suspicions arise about a man's charrac ter and he becomes like a bank in a i-anic and all the imputations rush on him and break down in a day that character which in due time would have had strength to defend itself. There are reputations that have been half a cen tury in building' which go under some moral exposure, as a vast temple is con sumed1 by the touch of' a sulphurous match. A hog enn uproot a century plant. In this world, so full of heart- I lessness and hypocrisy, how thrilling it is to find some friend as faithful in days of adlversity as in (lays of prosperity! David had such a friend in Hushat; the I Jews hIad such a friend in Mordecai, I who never forgot their cause; Paul had such a friend in Onesiphorus. who visted I him mn jail; Christ had such in the Marys, who adhered to hun on the cross; Naomi had such a one in Ruth, who cried out,; I " Entreat me not to leave thee, or to ie turu fromi following after t,hee; for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodlge; thy people, I shall be|my people and t,by God my God; whore thou diest will I die, and there r will I be buried the Lord do 8so to me, anmd more also, if' aiught but dleath part ,bec and mel.''] Again, I learn froin this subject, ttat p)athis which opein ini hardship and (dark news~t olf(i.e coimet out in Places of' joy. WVhen ltuth started from Moab~ toward Jerusalem, to go alonag with her mother in-law, I suplpose the peiop)le satid: Oh, what, a foolish creature to go away from her fathers house, to ao of' with a poor old wonmon towardl the land of Judiea! TIhey won't, live to cet, across the desert. Thiey will Oe drownjed in tke sea. or t,hei jackala ol t,he wilderntesa will destroyi t,bem." It, was a very (dark morning Nlien Rut.h started oil wit.h Naomi; but behold her in my text in tbeharvest-field < of hJoaz, t.o be aianced to one of' t,he lords ol' the land, and become one of thei grandi(moLhers of Jesus Christ, the Lord of1 glory. Anid so it, otb-n is that a path1 which starts very darkly ends very I brightly. Whten you startedl out, for heaven, oh,f how (lark was the hour of' conviction how B3inai 1.huudllered, and dlevils tor- I mnented, andit tbe,darkness thickened! All i the sinus of y our life~ pounced upon you and( it, was the darkest, hour you ever saw whten you first found out your sins. After awhile you wvent, into the harvest-i f ield of' God's mercy; you began to glean] in thie field of' dhivine p'romise, and you had more sheaves thani you cold carry as the voice of Godn addressed you, say I ng: "BIlessedl is ihe mian whose tranis greioins are forgiven and whose sins Iare coveredl." A very dhark starting in conviction, a very briighit end(inig in the pardon and the thpe and the trium ,h o01 t,he Gospel! So, very often in our* worly business or in our spirtual career, we st,art, ott on a very (lark pat,b. We must go. Thle flesh 'may shriitk back, bitt there Ia a voice Iwithin, or a voice fronm above, saying, "You must go," and we have to drink the gall, and we have to carry the cross, Iand we have to traverse the desert and we are pounded and flailed of misrepres entation and abuse, and we have to urge our way through ten thousand ob stacles that have to be slain by our own -ight arm. We have to ford the riv ve have to cimb the mountain, we haN o storm the castle; but blessed be Uc he day of rest and reward will coi )n the tip top of the captured batti aents Wi will shout the victory; if not his world, then In that world wher here is no gall to drink, no burden 1 arry, tno battles to fight.

I know it becaus xod says so: "They shall hunger i nore, neither thirst any more, neithe hall the sun light on Ihem. nor auy liea or te Lamb which is in the midst he throne shall lead theim to liviu iuntains of water, and God shall wip ,11 tears from their eyes." It was very hard for Noah to endur he scotfing of the peopte In his dat ifla he was trying to build the i nd was every day quizzed about his ol oat that would never be of any practici se; but when the deluge came, and ti 3ps of the mountains disappeared lilk le backs of sea-monsters, and the el aents, lashed up in fury, clapped the ands over a drowned world, then Nod i the ark rejoiced in his own safety an 1 the wafety of his family, and looke n the wreck of' a ruined earth.

Again, I see in my subject, an illusti AIon of the beauty of female industi lehold Ruth toiling in the harvest-fi< under the hot suin, or at noon taki plain bread with the reapers, or caL, hue parched corn which loaz handed ier.

C., Aug 3.-The decision of Chief ,Justic Fuller in the a Coosaw case was received today, and Judge Simouton added his concurrence Sth's afternoon. The decision. as will be '1 seen, Is a complete knock-out Ir the t "Coosaw octopus," and a signal victory s for the State. The followinli is the de a cision in full: ) STATEOF -SOUTI CAROLINA, ex rel. I TILIMAN et al. vs. THE COOSAW ,IMNINO COMPANY. [I Two motions have been argued: 1! 1. To remand. d 2. To continue the order granting a e preliminary injunction anld appointinlur - a receiver. .t My conclusions ire: d 1. That upon the face of this record e the motion to remand ought not to be b: entertained. The question of jurisdic tion was adjudicated by this court on a the 21st of April. 1891, and cannot be a reexamined at this stage of the nroceed. 11 ings. But if the question were open the resub would be the same, as I concur in the opinion of the district jud"ge. filed here on April 21, 1891. (45 Fed. Rep., 804). The motion to remand is there e tore overruled. 2. As to the motion to coitinue. &c.. x the contention of the deflendant is that it has, by contract with the State, in virtue of the act of 1876, the exclusive i right to mine all the phosphate ock g wit,bn a delined part of the CoosaW e River, for all time. at a royalty of one . dollar per ton. The defendant carried .e on its mining operations prior to 1876, - n the particular locality, under an act d of 1870, which gave the right to mine for the full term of twenty-one years at $1 per ton. The act of 1876 made the right exclusive, and, it is argued. per t- petual. because it was provided that de. f'endant (as well as other comnpanics) should have the right. "so long a.id no longer," than it'should make the returns and pay the rovalp.y prescribed. The royalty thus referred to was fixed by the act ot 1 870. It was decided in State vs. Pacific Guano Company (22 S. C. 50,) .i. that the rule of construction applicable d to the right to mine in the beds of nav 1, igable streams containing phosphate de. e posits is the ordinary one in the instance - of grants of public rights, namely, that Y the urant is to be construed strIctly in le favor of the State and gainst the gran d- tee.

The chairiman, however, called the )ody to order, and then left the chair 6vith nobody to preside over the conven ion. Tie regulars jumped in then and then elected Bi. F. AlcCabe chairman, and captured the books, records and gravel. The reformers then elected Uourteney chairman, and the two con ventions proceeJed with business. Futile efforts were made by the con servatives to bring about a compromise. The regulars offered to elect a reform chairman if both McCabe and Courte nay would vacate.

Theoretical as Well as Practical Instrue tion Will be Given; but all Theories Will be Reduced to Praatioe--Work Done by the Board of Trastees. PENDLETON,S. C., July 30.- rh board of trustees of Clemson college held its final meeting this merning and today the various members left fortheirhomes. The long session of the board was caused by the difficulty of the selection of professors from the - multitude of applicants, all of whom came with un exceptionable references and recovn mendations. The board proceded slow ly and with the greatest care. The va rious credentials of the applicants were read and every endeavor made to secure the very best possible men for the posi tions,for the t:ustees recognized that upon their selections, in great measure, wiould rest the fate of the college for success or failure. It took several ballots in each case to agree upon the men for the different chairs. rhe board not only endeavored to se cure the men best qualified for the posi tions, as far as possi ble, naive South Car olinians, and men who has been active supporters of the movement for the establishment of a separate agricultural and mechauical college in South Caro lina. The application of this last rule caused great ditliculty in several cases in the election of a professor. THE FACULTY. The following were the professors elected this morning: Professor of Eng ish-C.

With such a strong and learned faculty, with such a brainy, courteous gentlemen as Professor Strode at its head, the success of Clem son college is assured. It will do noble work in training the young men of the state to be true and faithful cItizens; it will well equip them for the stern bat tie of life, and it them to increase the wvealth and power of the state. Year by year the wisdom of the founders will become more and more apparent, and by all future generations they will be hailed as statesmen and patriots. Two DISTINCT P'ARTIES. At the meeting of the board there were t wo distinct parties. One favored practical education alone while the other wanted some theoretical instruc tion in the curriculum. The advocates of practical, industrial education were victorious. Trheoretical instruction will be given at Clemson college but all the theories taught will be reduced to practice. Th'le trustees have not arranged the curriculum and wiil not do so for some time. Late in the summer a joint meet ing of the trustees and the professors will be held, and then the course of stoi(y and work will be mapped out. If the' buildings are completed in time anid judging from the present rate of progress they wvill be, the college wiUl commence work February 1, 1892. The session will be nine months long. The brick residence of the professor of chemistry, another brick residence, the chemistry building, the barn and lyve wooden residences for the foremen and professors have been completed. The miechanical building is almost fin ished. Very little work remains to be done on it. The efforts of the laborers will now be concentrated on the main build ing, the foundations of which have beeni laid, and the dormitory. Work has been commenced on a wooden cow barn. After the dormitory has been completed, work on the kitchen a dining room will be commenced ai' also on the president's house and te residence for the professor 'of agricul ture. Quite a little town will be formed at Fort 11111 by the buildings of Ciemson College.-Charleston World. Whiat Does the President WVant?
