[At the recent session of the Uoion Meeting at Shady Grove Church the fol lowing essay was read by Mrs. B. J. Williams, of Honea Path, and a resolu? tion was passed requesting tbe Intelli? gencer to publish it.?Editor.] When Christ came into the world, He set all things to right. Tgnorance, su? perstition and misrule God bad allowed. Man with tbe law from San?i, and its precepts perverted to suit the carnal mind; held sway, as it seemed, till earth groaned under its burden of darkness and sin. Bot at this time tbe "Star of Bethle? hem" was seen?the Son of God came to be a light to the nations. Not one jot I nor one tittle, said He, should pass from the law till all was fulfilled, but He would write upon tbe heart, and bind about tbe neck of men His law of love, that He might be glorified. Instead of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," it was, "When you are smitten on the one cheek, turn the other also." Instead of a command to tbe strong to destroy cities, subdue nations and slay tbe heathen with the sword; the injunc? tion was to feed tbe hungry, lift up tbe fallen, soothe the troubled and tell to the world the story of the love of God. What is woman's pert in this work f It must be seen : 1. That woman, in her nature, has been endowed with a fitness for the require? ments of this law of love. God has made her tender of nature. We call it unwomanly to be stern and indifferent; to turn a deaf ear to tbe cries of the needy; to pass carelessly by tbe suffer? ing, or to care not for tbe expelling of heathen darkness. For woman thus to be, is to quench, yea to drive from her soul that precious gift of God. Then if there is such adaptability, which was plainly God's purpose, what is woman's mission? What her part in this work of love ? It is to do, to bear and to die, if need be, for the glory of God. There is no good work from which woman is exempt; nothing that she may not do in her woman's way, well pleas? ing to God. If she does not literally stand in the pulpit, she may be tbe se cret influence there. For woman, if she wisely exercise her gifts in the fear of God, may often be tbe power behind tbe throne. Then there may be a sweeter savor rising to heaven from the falling of a tear, than tbe offering of many sac? rifices ; the giving of many tithes. More in tbe feeding of tbe hungry, in the vis? iting of tbe orphan and tbe widow, than in erecting costly edifices. Tbe woman's mite may be greater many thousands. God despises not small things, and has ordained that the weak thiogs of tbe world shall confound tbe strong. What if woman's sphere is limited 1 That dues not lessen her obligation to go busily on every day serving God. The truth may be as effectually taught at the fireside as upon tbe stage. As truly may tbe way to Heaven be pointed out to the dying eyes, as to be cried aloud in the ear. Tbe nobie missionary Dias was led to seek after God by seeing moving lips, and tbe Heaven directed eyes of a sainted woman as she knelt by his sick bed. The rigid discipline and godly teaching of tbe Wesleys gave much of the mighty impetus to tbe lives now immortalized. Many more migbt be mentioned if space were given. Then for a second proof of woman's call, God has all along honored her work. When He left Heaven to dwell with men, He chose from among women a mother. The reverend head chose to be pillowed on woman's bosom and to "draw his life from her heart." Hosts of angels descended and sang bosaona at His birth, but returned and left the care ?f the infant Saviour to woman. It was woman whom be honored with tbe anointing of His body to the burial. It was she who ministered to Him of her substaoce; whose sympathies He chose to receive while be suffered on the cross; whom He would have tirst at tbe sep ulcher, and to whom He would give tbe first tidings of His resurrection. It was Lydia whose heart He touched to open her doors to the apostle, and who stood with other women as the strength of the Churcb at Pnilippi. Then we see that all through the ages God has opened tbe door in foreign lands for woman. There is a work among the heathen which man cannot do, and which is left to woman. And God has made her a willing subject. Wherever there is a call for men to tbe field, there are women to volunteer to go with them. Adoniram Judson bad bis Ann, and what was she to that great missionary ? God honored her with the sustaining of tbe mission, for it was through ber devotion aud heroic courage that tbe life of tbe noble missionary was spared during that long period of im* prisoomeot and suffering. Boardman, as he toiled among the heathen with a failing body, had his Sarah by his side, who held up tbe mission after God bad taken him away. Moffic, as he gave his life, telling to the uoclad Africans the story of Christ, was given a loviog com? panion, who fought tbe battle for many long years. So let us not think that our work is small, or that our sphere is a limited one. Let us look about us and fill tbe de? mands, and we shall receive a crown with no fewer stars than the mighty, mighty meu. I Mrs R. J. Williams. Honea Path, S. C, Feb. 15,1893. ? There is more Catarrh in this sec tiou of the country tban all other disea ses put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local rem? edies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, prononuced itincu rable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on tbe market. It is takeu internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful It acts directly on tbe blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They ofTer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure Send for circulars and testimonials. F. J. CH ENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. Sold by Druggist3, 75c. BILL ARP. Atlanta Constitution. It Is an old saying that "there is noth? ing certain in the world bnt death and taxes," but I didn't know that both of these afflictions came together. Tbey don't in Georgia, and one of the comforts of dying is to get rid of taxes, but it 'seems that in some of the States and in many foreign countries, the biggest tax of all is the death tax. Many of the States have bad an inheritance tax for fifty years, but it didn't apply to children. It affected collateral kindred only?legacies had to pay it, and all heirs who were not children of the deceased. But of late years this death duty?this penalty for dying, has taken bold of all estates worth over $10,000, and the government takes the first slice. This law is only two years old in New York, Massachusetts and Maryland, so far as children are concern? ed, and it has not been heavy on collate? ral heirs. A. T. Stewart's estate paid on? ly $300,000. The estate of Mrs. Lennox paid $200,000, but if there bad been chil? dren, no tax would have been paid. But now Jay Gould's estate has bad to pay nearly a million under the new law, and there is a big fuss over it among the lawyers and some ef the preachers. Seme of them say it Is right and some say it is an ontrage on human rights. In England and France and Germany and Australia and Canada this inheritance tax varies from 1 to 15 per cant, on all the estate in excess of $100,000. The idea seems to be that the deceased got that exceBB without actually working for it It was interest upon interest or by specu lalion or good luck and all the time he had the protection of the government, and in nine cases out of ten, his profits were somebody else 'a lessons and now that he was dead, his heirs must pour some of it back in the jug. They dido't work for it and can well afford to let the State take a slice for the long years of protection their father had. Perhaps, that father, lite Jay Gould, began the world with nothing, and the children > would have no right to complain if tbe State allowed them $100,000 apiece and took all the rest. This would be more than liberal where there are no children, for in the case of A. T. Stewart, Judge Hilton gobbled it all up, and he was no kin to Stewart. Sometimes very remote kindred get the estate because that is the law and that is the reason I have been prospecting for thirty years to get my wife's share of that 200,000,000 of pounds that Sir William Holt left in tbe Bank of England. The prospect is mortal dim, but there is some comfort in believing that it is there and is still drawing inter? est like my Confederate bonds. But the question of how much shall a man be allowed to accumulate and keep is looming up and will have to be settled before loug by American people. For the safety of the Republic there will have to be a limitation of some sort. John Stew? art Mill saya it will have to be done. Andrew Carnegie says the State oughj to take one-balf of all that a millionaire leaves behind him and this law would force him to divide out before he diedand induce him to make his gifts to public charities and colleges, while in life, like Rock fei 1 er and Armour are doing now and like Peter Cooper and Peabody and oth? ers did. The Illinois Bar Association baa de? clared in favor of limitation upon wealth, and Mr. Stead says the time is near at hand when the children's inheritance will be limited to a sum that will give each an income of $100,000 and no more. It would make about $3,000,000 to do that at 3 per cent. That law would give Jay Gould's children $12,000,000, which is enough, I reckon, to support them. The other $60,000,000 would go to the State for hospitals and homes for the poor and tbe unfortunate. But if that had been tbe law, Jay Gould would have di? vided his property long ago and bo dodg? ed the law, or else he would have done some big thing with it that would have given him a better obituary than he got. A much better law than Mr. Stead's would be a graduated tax not only on in beritances, but on accumulations made duriDg life. If Mr. Gould with $20,000, 000 can buy up judges and legislatures, as he boasted that he did, what could be not do with $100,000,000 or $200,000,000 ? What could a combine of twenty men do whose holdings aggregate $1,000,000,000 ? If combines of a few millions can wreck a great railroad system like the Central, what can these billionaires do ? Before the war there were but very very few rich men, and they were afraid to Bcheme and corner and combine, but they are multi? plying rapidly in the great cities. They are absorbing the wealth of the nation and their methods are attracting public attention and public concerts. Something is going to be done. It will not begin down Soutb, for we have not suffered yet, but tbe tendency of capital is that way everywhere, and the same evils will reach us before loDg. There must be some lim? itation upon wealth. The joint estate of the Astora is estimated at $250,000,000 and most of it is in real estate in tbe city of New York. Their chief income is from rents and tbey can make the rents exorbitant if they choose and defy com? petition. Rock fell er comforts his con? science with his gifts, but much of his proOta came from tbe wrecks of compet? ing companies that he crushed out of ex? istence. If a man u making $10,000,000 a year, it is the easiest, thing in tbe world to give away $1,000,000 occasionally, and that aeems to patisfy the people. They will point to the Chicago and Vanderbilt Universities and say he is a great, big hearted gentleman? The methods of which these colossal fortunes are made is a bad example to the rising generation. Our young men are restless and are bunting for some nhort cuts to fortune. Judge Clark made a sad commentary upon it the other day in Atlanta. He was passing sentence upon a young man and said what is tbe matter with our young men? "Almost every day I am called upon to pass sen? tence upon Borne of them, young men who have been raised by respectable pa? rents?young men who have been well educated and are capable of earning an honest lining. What is the matter and when will it stop? It grieves me and alarms me and I fee! helpless, because I know of no remedy." Well, it does look like public morale are degenerating. I saw in a paper yes? terday that a woman, who bad a case in Court against a railroad, testified that ten lawyers came to see her to get ber case before the doctor got there. The lawyers beat tbe doctor to the tank. And this kind of practice Beems to be professional in Atlanta, and it is spreading even to our country townB. And yet the lawyers are on the top of society. Alas, for so? ciety I Bill Arp. Observations of Jack sen Brown. Greenville News. Jackson Brown was in the Greenville News business office yesterday, having come for his copy of the Semi-Weekly, which he calls for about as regularly as clock work. Jackson Brown is seventy six years old, and nearly everybody in Greenville knows him. A few questions led him to talk about farming. He has been a farmer about sixty years. When he began work here in Greenville county on his father's farm cotton was five cents a pound and corn thirty-three cents a bushel and the mar? ket place was Hamburg, a hundred and twenty miles away. When Jackson Brown was twenty-one those were the prices and conditions and be went to work for bis father as a manager for fifth of tbe yield of tbe fields. Later on be received a third. When he married a few years later he had a thousand dol? lars in cash, made and saved by work-in? for the fifth and the third. He has sup? ported comfortably a large family of children and all his sons and daughters are now taking care of themselves. He owub 240 acres of laud five miles out of town and does not owe a dollar in tbe world. He says there is no business like farm? ing and no better place for farming than right here. He has tried it sixty years aud ought to know. He has never asked anybody to endorse for him, has never been harrassed by debts or creditors and is always tbe first man to hand in his 'property for taxation to the auditor and pay bis taxes to tbe treasurer. His face is rnddy and strong; be walks into town five miles and out five miles and hopes to live to eighty-five years, Age has made him distrustful of a horse, riding or driving, but be trusts bis own legs, although he complains that at sev? enty six his knees are getting a little stiff. There are two or three reasons why he thinks farming here is the best business a man can be in, giving the surest profit and the most comfortable life. He be gao, under his father's advice, with the rule always to make his living at home and to depend on cotton only for sur? plus. He has sold cotton at five cents a pound and at twenty cents a pound, but no matter what cotton was selliug at he never planted an acre in it until he had provided for bread and meat and feed for his stock for the year. When tbat was secured, so far as human foresight could secure it, he gave some land and labor to cotton and every pound be sold of it was profit. Tbe thousands of pages in which liens are recorded have never had Jackson Brown's name writen on them as lien giver. He does not believe that Tillman or national legislation or war or anything else can make a farmer poor. He has been through them all, has abundance for his simple needs and lives comforta? bly. Raising cotton to pay for food and pay liens will, he thinks, ruin any farm and any farmer and . he has observed scores and generations of them and in his hard common sense way has traced out cause and effect. He has sixteen sheep and he dresses in homespun, woven from the wool of bis own sheep. It does not wear out, it keeps him warm, and the big double blue jeans overcoat he wears, spun, woven, cut and sewed by his wife, turns rain like rubber and he hardly paid out a dollar for it. Plenty of clotbes, plenty to eat, plenty of good land, some money, good health and no debts is tbe condition of Jackson Brown at seventy six and be asks no odds of anybody and whatever happens is safe. Jay Gould died between fifty and sixty years old. He amassed between one and two hundred millions of dollars. He probably never had a comfortable or bap py day from tbe time be began to be rieb, he hated and feared and was hated and feared and lies dead in a big marble tomb which cost half a million dollars. Jackson Brown hates and fears nobody. He enjoys his life. He "loves" to plow, be says, because he knows he plows well and it is happiness to his heart to tramp between tbe handles and watch tbe damp earth turn up from tbe plow point just at the right depth and in tbe right way. He has all the pride of a matter and an artist in it and is alive, strong, hearty, hopeful and happy. De Lesse pa is eighty years old. He dug tbe Suez canal, riches and decora? tions have been heaped upon bim by all the kings of Europe and his name was glorified around the world. Now he is in jail to spend a five years' term for bribery and is overwhelmed with shame and ruin. James G. Blaine narrowly missed being president of tbe United States four times, but be died a young man in years compared to Jackson Brown but far older in fact?a broken, disappointed, diseased, miserable old man leaving a great reputation and a mil? lion dollars bebind bim. Jim Fisk, tbe Vanderbilts, Rufus Hatch, Grant, Sher man?scores and hundreds of men in this country and in other countries, have risen, rolled in riches and died ruined and unhappy and with tarnished names while Jackson Brown has been tramping cheerily between his plow handles, proud and happy in the proper lining of bis furrows and turning of tbe fresh earth, watching his crops grow and gathering them year by year, meeting trouble when it came with a stout and hopeful heart, asking no more than to have his toil rewarded with comfortable compe tence, doing his duty to his neighbors aud bis country and looking the world fearlessly and squarely in the face. At seventy six he steps hia ten miles a day comfortably, looks around bis little do? main with the knowledge that it is all his and all paid for and has an honest man's honest pride iu the uork of nn honest life. It is not very brilliant, but it is very satisfactory, and il to be happy and to do a man's duty in life and go to his grave in comfort and honor bo the purpose of life it looks to us as if Jackson j Brown has tbe best of it compared with the great folks we have spoken of?deci? dedly the beat of it. We are willing to put bim up as evi? dence that health, happiness, a modest and 8ufficient abare of prosperity and comfort, a pleasant life and a peaceful death in good repute can be secured on a farm among these rolling red bills of old South Carolina ; and that tbe best life ia not by any meana that which figures con? atantly in the newapapers. We are like? wise willing to put him up with white beard, clear eyes, sturdy frame and all homespun clothes aa an object lesson to bis fellow farmers?the lesson that to make tbe farm yield food and clotheB 6rat and cotton for money profit ia tbe aecret of auccesaful farming. Seven Scenes in a Woman's Life, A wee mother is carefu'Iy putting her favorite doll.to bed. With tender solici? tude she carefully removes each dainty garment and fastens on tbe tiny night gown. Then, with a fond kian, ahe bugs her treaaure to her and places it in its little cradle. After patting it gently she tiptoes out of tbe room as the twilight peeps curi? ously in. A fair maiden stands before her look? ing-glass adding the last touches to her evening toilet. Her lover will eoon be here I Her eyes are full of innocent love light 1 She locks eagerly at her reflec? tion in the mirror. How glad she is that she ia pretty ! She frowns a little at a crimp that will not stay just aa it should, A ring comes at the door amd ahe hastens away to mret her belov? ed. A young wife sits anxiously watching for her husband. At each approaching footstep her heart befits rapturously and then grows heavy with disappointment. She will not go indoors, it is so aweet out there. The creeping shadows cheer her trembling soul; so she waits and wishes, and the shadows lengthen into darkened night. A mother is rocking her baby to sleep. He looks at her gravely while they move to and fro, aa if asking why the bright sunshine must leave and tbe ugly shad? ows hide her dear face from bim. There is a wealth of wisdom in his great, sweet eyes. He holds tightly to her dreas, as if to keep ber near bim. When at last his eyea are closed she disengages tbe loving band, kisses bim lightly?he must not be awakened?and arises to put bim into bia crib. Then she sinks back into her chair and begins to rock bim again. It is so pleasant to to rest in the twilight, and be ia so aweet to hold! A woman kneels by a freah made grave. The headboard stares coldly at her and seems to say over and over again the word8 inscribed upon it, "He waa her only child and she was a widow." With tear laden eyea she benda. down lower and lower, till her lips rest upon the earth. She longs so to kiss tbe quiet form it is hiding from her I And the twilight seems to hurry past and lose it? self in the darkness, A careworn old woman site watching the shadowa come?they are friends to her?frienda that ahe welcomea?for they always sing the same song to her, "One Day Nearer Home.'T And she smiles to them her thanks. She, too, repeats, "One D.iy Nearer Hom6." And so life ?woman's life?goea on in the twilight till rest cornea to her weary body and joy to her aching heart?till ber spirit reach? es its home, where never a shadow can fall upon it.?New Orleans Picayune.

Edward Hagood, sixty years old, a major of the confederate army, a member of the South Carolina aristocracy, a cou? sin of ex-Governor Hagood of South Carolina, and a bearer of letters of recom? mendation from men of national promi? nence to tbe best people of this city, is a prisoner of the law. Ho was arrested at his home, on tbe corner of Forest avenue and Jackson street, by Detectives McConnell, Looney and Cason, on a warrant from Charles? ton, S. C, charging him with bigamy. Without a single word of protest, Major Hagood accompanied the officers, and his second, or third, wife, whom he mar? ried in Chicago seven years ago, with whom he has been living since, accompa? nied bim. Yesterday morning's Constitution told about the presence in this city of youthful and pretty Mrs. Hagood, who is a daugh? ter of Patrolman Beauderot, of Charles? ton, and who was married to Hagood seven months ago. She came to the city in search of Major Hagood, who had de? serted her and gone back: to his Chicago wife. She called on Chief Connolly Sunday and told her story. She v j& young and pretty, aud tbe chief was skeptical. He doubted parts of her story, and pointedly refused to take any part in having the erring busband arrested. He told Mrs. Hagood that tbe proper course for her to pursue was to have Chief of Police Mar? tin, of Charleston, officially request tbe arrest of Hagood. He further informed her that this was tbe only way in which she could get him arrested by the Atlanta officers. Very much disheartened, she returned to her boarding house, tbe Arlington, and wrote to ber fa'her of what had oc? curred. She received, on Monday night, a telegram from him, stating that he would come to Atlanta at once and have H8good arrested. She made no further move, resting on her oar- until her father should arrive. Yesterday raoruiog she received a visit from the Chicago Mrs. Hagood. This latter lady spent several hours with her, talking tbe matter over. She wanted her to sign papers to the effect that she would not give Hagood further trouble. Young Mrs. Hagood emphatically informed her that she wonld not do it, and that she in? tended to hunt Hagood down and have him punished, if it took her tbe rest of her life. The interview ended in a stormy manner, and tbe elder of tbe two Mrs. Hagoods went off defying tbe younger, and requesting her to have their joint husband arrested, if she cared to. Young Mrs. Hagood says that the meeting came near Irking on a serious turn, as the elder lady informed her, at one point in tbe conversation, that she always went armed. Tbe elder Mrs. Hagood gave tbe younger a cordial invitation to visit her at her home on Forest avenue. On the 7 o'clock Richmond and Dan? ville train last night Patrolman H. Beauderot, tbe father of young Mrs. Ha? good, and bis wife reached the city. They went at once to the Arlington, where their daughter is stopping. After dining they repaired at once tu police, headquarters. For tbe third time Chief Conolly gave audience to tbe deserted bride of seven months and in a few minutes be became convinced that justice demanded tbe ar? rest of Hagood, whom he had at first re? fused to molest. Beauderot, the father of the girl, told a straightforward story, which was readily believed and then banded to the chief a warrant for Ha? good, which he had bad sworn out be? fore leaving Charleston. It required but a few minutes' talk with tbe Charleston officer to decide Chief Conolly upon what course he would pursue. Calling in Chief of Detectives Wright he turned tbe warrant over to him and Detectives Cason, McConnell and Looney were sent to Hagood's home on Forest ave? nue. The detectives found Hagood sitting in his parlor enjoying a quiet evening with his third wife and pretty eigbteen-year old daughter. The home is an elegant one and is sumptuously furnished, all tbe hangings and wall decorations, as well as all of the furnishings being of tbe grandest and of the best of taste. Major HHgood received the detectives with a curtly manner and listened to their explanation of their visit without losing his composure in the slightest de? gree. He rcse after they had finished and said that he was ready to go. His wife also arose and said she would accompany him. Major Hagood was ushered into Chief Conolly's office where bis youugest wife, her mother and father and several detec? tives were seated, He looked toward the pretty young woman without speaking. His handsome, fashionably-dressed Chi? cago wife took a seat beside him. Tbe five people most interested looked at each other. Hagood, soldierly, hand? some, dignified, sat upright in bis chair waiting for some one to break tbe si? lence. "Major Hagood," said Chief Conolly in a low tone, "this yourjg lady says she is your wife." Major Hagood assent ed by a nod of this head. Chief Con? nolly paused, expecting the prisoner to speak. "I have here a warrant for your arrest for bigamy," the chief finally went on. And after another pause he added : "I believe you do not deny that she is your wife?" "No, sir," said she major, "I do not. She is my wife. I married ber in Char? leston seven months ago. I was not my self at tbe time. During tbe war I re? ceived a terrible wound, which has never healed. I am constantly under tbe ne? cessity of using strong opiates.

"There are very few men who earn their living by pulling teeth," said a leading dentist the other day. "For? merly a man in my profession was little more than a tooth extractor, just as a physician was little more than a blood letter, but of late years there has been so marked a change that now few den? tists look upon tooth extracting as a source of revenue. For my own part I do not pull one tooth in a dozen of those which have been marked for tbe slaugh? ter, regarding it as a source of evidence of weakness to extract a tooth at all fer a regular customer. Sometime a patient will come in frantic with pain and de? mand tbe instance nse of the forceps, but even then it is generally possible to induce patience and prevail npon the nn fortunate to give bis useful, although painful, member another chance. "It is surprising that the science of sup? plying the place of extracted teeth should have kept pace with the science of sav? ing teeth condemned by their owners but such is the case, and I believe tbe time will come when the tooth extractor will oe looked upon as a butcher and all the honors and dollars go to the tooth saver. With the aid of modern science it ought to be possible to limit the use of false teeth to the victims of accidents. "It appears to be impossible to make people take care of their teeth and arrest the process of decay thereby, but it is easy to come to the rescue of a partially ruined tooth. As a general principle, to which there are doubtless exceptions, no tooth ought to be torn out of a man's jaw. When it is necessary to remove a tooth, nature prepares the way and makes extraction easy. For instance, where a child's tooth has to be removed to make room for another, there is no painful extraction necessary the tooth coming out as a matter of course and without tbe slightest difficulty."
