A SERMO? trri.-t the jVttitnde o: IDxiring thc 1 "1Bkc no apology foraddress r?oMthern boys beyond the fact j one, something more than 1. hftwecii thc ages IC? and 10, ,.i limits constitutes the ages of ^ v.h" will fight out this war . 1 have talked to South-1 T, hefore about manufactures, . agriculture, and the economic , . wc have to meet in the j i] ?s no jingo, therefore, who ?,, ,., - you, but ono whose parents i-lit t-? instill into him from carly [j, io? a horror of war and all that ,.,?,1?. tu i1. and made him believe .foal .},.? arts of pence were far more ,'. l( |t? far more elevating, far more worthy :i t.'?ristian gentleman than the arts of war. Tin- conclusions whic'i I have reached in reference to this .Spanish ?var are tho result of cold logic and careful thought, contrary to, not in KCo'ruYncc with my prejudices. If ever there was a just, righteous and holy war from the foundation of .he world to the present time, this is that wai In thc lillie pocket Testament pur chased to-day and which I mean to tarry into battle with me if it is my lot to go i'ito battle. 1 find a few verses which I am going to quote, first, I would remark that carrying this Testament is not so mu .h a sien of carly piety as a ope that if any bullets strike me they will strike this Testament at one of those hard texts, harder than ..ny bullet we all know am iu the Bible. . And Jesus went into the temple of lied und cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple * * * and said unto them,' It is -vrittcn my j house shall be called tiie house of ! prayer, but you have made it a den of j tiiiev s." What have the Spaniards made of j Cuba? Not merely a den of thieves, j hut a desert, a slaughter house, a ! place where men, women aud children j have been ouddled together and pois oiiod by foul odo. s and vile sanitation. Btu there arc those who will say that C La is not God's temple; that the earth aft r all is inly his footstool. If it i then the other side of it is the nie he uses and .Spa u the partic ular spot he wipes his feet on. I believe no such ?. octrine. I be lieve the earth is God's temple aud Christian nations are charged .vith the solemn duly of preve .ting such de filement cf it as the Spania. d have practiced in Cuba, tilf the .meek and gentle -Jesus, tho one who came to bring jicice and good-will on earth bad thc spunk-(I mean no iirevcrence: I am talking to boys in language they understand) to whip, perhaps knock duwn and drag out, literally cast out those who were doing things which would have been perfectly legitimate elsewhere, shall wc Americans who as a nation a;e not holy to hurt anj" how, not particularly quiet or peaceable by nature, and with no reputation for that sort of thing, to sustain as Jesus had. shall we, .1 say, coolly stand by when robbery, murder and s al vation arc practiced <in a place admittedly iitorc uuhappy than holy; but which by thc grace of God will b^ a good deal hoi: sr and happier, too, before we get through with it? There are those who say that it is cot our bu'iucss to meddle in Cuba and that to go to war about the unhap py island is a crime. It is useless to argui with people who aro holier than Jesus Christ. Turn from thc tiresome drivel of such goody, goody people and listen to the words of the man who had not one atom of sympathy with oppression or hypocrisy in his eomposition. ' Woe unto ,TOU, scribes and Phari sees, hypocrites, for ye make olean the outside of the cups aad the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypooriteei for y are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones *nd all uncleanness. Ye serpents, yo generation of vipers, how eau yo es rape thc damnation of hell?" If there is any single thing in thc whole category of sins the scribes and pharisees committed which the Span iards have not committed and worse, 1 t ail to recall it. Thc good man says; \c serpents, ye generation of vi I' TS." The goody good say "PoOr ^l tin! Poor queen regent! .Poor'it tlc boy king?" God help suca Amer hunism! \ oung soldiers in a righteous cause, if anybody tells you that you are fighting an unholy war, tell such goody good person witlf all.the vehe mence at yo ir comma.id to go to hp?ven! There are some who will tell you that we havo proved our valor in th e South and don't need to fight again; tli a we aro too popv and that .others, our old antagonists, ought to bear tho burden of this fight. Don't listen to 8t?ch ineffable rot! Our fathers did prove their valor. Wc ar? proud of it 4 TO MEN. t' til? South should be Cresent AVa'i*. j :in?l of their heroic deeds, hut wheo, i where and how has this generation , proved it-; valor? It comes with very bad grace from any old veteran to pre vent his son from showing that he in : herks the prowess of bis father. ; I ?des any one still bear a grudge against thc North for what happened in thc civil war? Why Lord help us if the Yankees had bad the negroes ! aud thc farms and thc hot sun and wc j had had the whites and the factories ; and thc eold climate, they would have seceded and we would have whipped them back into the Union u s i gb t quicker than they did us. How many civil wars did l!ome have, and what old Kornau ev :r bore an eternal grudge against some section of bis country? How many civil wars did Palestine have? There was very little love ?lost between the people of Galilee and the people of Jerusalem, aud yet we find Jesus, the Galilean, uttered this burst of patriotism: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that kill est the prophets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, now often would 1 have gathered thy children toge.her even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing, and ye would not." When I listen to some of the older people talk ab >ut this present war I am reminded of a comic paper illus tration. An old man, evidently in tended for a Southerner, in one pic ture was literally wiping up the floor wi'.h auothcr, evidently one of the G. A. ll. Below it was explained how the Yankee veteran had overhca.d the Confederate tell how some one had shot off a part of bis car at close quarters during tue war. The Yank, coining smilingly forward with out stietched hand, is saying, "I was that mau; shake." The old Keb says, "You arc, duru you! you're the man I've been looking for for twenty years!" Boys, we share with our fathers the glories of the past, wc are as proud of our history as they are, but WJ and not they, are responsible for the future and must fight its battles.. , ur frac tured republic was spliced and bolted together, but it has not been, it is useless to deny it, oue homogeneous piece of metal. Th.s Spanish war means knocking out the bolts and tearing off thc straps, heating the two points of fracture with hot (it may he in the furnace of Cuba) and welding the two proper paris of our Republic into one indissoluble, irrefrangible whole. If you play well your part not only will thi~ war like the civil /ar bc worth all it costs, but it will yield an hundred fold beside. .My sermon is ended. Comrades, carry a Now Testament in your pocket; but when you meet the Spanish, fight like tho devil! I would take your chancer for heaven before I would those of thc men and women who, by their whinnying?, show themselves to bc unworthy of South Carolina-the mother of two republics aud not ashamed to bring forth a third. Cuba must be free! EDWIN LIBMAN JOHNSON. Received a Sharp Retort. Two young ladies, very genteelly dressed, were lately riding iu a street car. Ono of them, whoso features were more remarkable for an excessive prominence of nose than anyt'iing else, exhibited to the other a picture of herself, which she said had just been taken, and they were engaged in discussing its merits, when an elderly lady got into the car. She was evi dently oue of those inqv.is tiye yet good-natured souls who take a deal of innocent liberty in the world without thinking any harm. After riding a short distance, she held out her hand, and said to the lady who had thc pic ture: "Please let me look at it." Her modest request was mot with an indignant frown, and thc reply, as thc caso was returned to the lady's pocket: ".It's none of your business." Thc old lady settled back in her seat very complacently, when thc companion of ibo One with the picture asked: "What do you wi.-h to do with the picture?" "Oh, nothing," replied thc old lady; "I only wanted to see how successfully the artist had put so largo a nose on so small a plate." The lady v ith the likeness covered her face and dropped hor veil during the remainder of the ride. - "Dab. is some folks," said Uncle Eben,, "dat 'nd heap rather h ab a rep utation for bein' onlucky dan er record fob industriousness." - A mother, trying to get her little daughter to sleep one night, said, .

She Rewires Warning That She is not Long For fhU World. Mr. Gallup ha<l been interestingly perusing the advertising in the family almanac for half au hour, and Mrs. daliup had been tearing up an old skirt and sewing carpet rags, when she looked up and said : "Samuel, 1 want to talk to you a minit. Do you know that i've bin warned of my death?" "I hadn't heard of it," he replied. "But 1 hev, and my time in this cold world is brief. By this time next week you may be a widower." "Wall, I took them chances when 1 married you. I s'pose it won't kill me to he a widower." "I'll bet you are jest wishin' you was one this very night !" she ex claimed, as she crossed her hands in her lap to look him straight in thc face. "Mrs. Tompkins was tcllin' me yisterday that you was steppiu' arouud as lively as a colt, bowin' to all the wimmiu you met, and that you'd git married ngin in a month after I was dead." "I should wait at least three,"' he said, as he clasped his hands behind his head and looked steadily at the clock. "Wall, I ain't goin' to worry over what you'd do. I've had nuthin' but worry all my life, and now when I've got a chance to be an angel in a week or two I ain't goin' to fret and stew about what I leave behind me. Do you believe iu warnin's, Samuel?" "It's accordin' to whar they hit me," he replied. "Don't make fun of solemn things. Your brother Aaron used to do that, and he fell off the barn and broke his lieck. I'm one as believes we was put 1--, ......?I. Mn I... IV- ~ III.IV! Ou wuni i/U uu iiiiiin.il. i/u j ou know what I heard at 2 o'clock 'tother night? You was snorin' away and didn't hear it, but it come to me as plain as day. I heard a bell tolliu'." "What was she tollin' for?" "For my funeral. Yes, Samuel Gallup, that bell tolled forty seven times, which is my age, and then it stopped with a sort cf groan and shiver." "Got tired, probably," he said, as he scratched at Iiis left heel with the too ol' his right slipper. "If you ain't struck dead fur *ich remarks it's because the Lord is savin' you to be drownded in thc well. When that bell fust started I thought mebbe it was tollin' fur Aunt Hetty White, who is 70 years old and ex pectin' to spread her wings every day; but it stopped at forty-seven. Samuolj hov you priced the price of eoffins lately?" "No, I heven't." "I s'pose they can be had all thc way from $15 up to $100. I don't want the cheapest, and I won't ask ye to buy the dearest. How much d'ye think you could afford, Samuel? Re member, it's thc only coffin you'll ever hev to buy me, and I wouldn't ask fur that, only folks might talk about it." "Times is purty hard, llanncr," he said, after a long silence. "I know it, Samuel. Hain't I biu goin' almost barfoot fur thc last three months 'cause times was hard, aud don't I steep thc tea grounds twice over to make 'eui go further ?" "I should think ye orter git along with a ?25 collin, bein'it won't bc of no more usc after it's put into the ground, "faio't as if ye could rig it up fer a sled or a weeelbarrer after wards." "What ! You goin' to bury mc fur $25 after my slavin' fur all these years and years !" she exclaimed, as thc tears start "I'll never take no. $25 coffin and a^rce not to haunt ye. Times is hard, but I ain't goin' to be put away in no dry goods box. If you are so stingy about the coffin, what'll you do about tho tombstone ?" "Ten dollars gits a fine one," he answered, "and they'll gimme a year to pay fur it." "Ten dollars fur my tombstone.'.*' she wailed, as she dropped her work. "Samuel Gallup, if anybody had told me this I wouldn't a bolicved it. You'd be a nice man to eomc up to heaven and meet mc and hov all thc angels know that you didn't pay but S35, all told, fur funeral expenses. Not one of 'cm would look at ye, and I Couldn't say nuthin' to excuse you." . "Then you hadn't better die, Han nor," he observed, after she had wept for three or four minutes and wiped her eyes on the old skirt instead of her apron. "But how am I goin' to help it?" alic presently demanded. "I'm lyin' asleep and dreamin' of tadpoles in thc well water, when swithin wakes me up. I am all in a cold shiver, and presently a bell begins to toll and strikes 47 times. It wasn't roy fault, was it? Can anybody help bein' Warned? 1 don't want to die any morc'n you do, but I can't help my self." She had another crying spell; Mr. Gallup lifted the family cat to his knee, stroked her arching back in a meditative way and maintained silence. "And this was only one warnin'," continued Mrs. Gallup, as she recovered her voice. "I sat right where you do, 'tother day lnendin' one o' your shirts. _\..> ?*;crc :\ racket \\\ tho kitc-b*?!! to scare mc iuto fits. What d'ye s'pose it was. samuel?" The cat,"' ne briefly replied. "No, it wasn't the eat. She was lyin' over there on the lounge. It was another warning that my days on earth was numbered, and that 1 should soon be soarin with tho blest, lt was thc dish-pan, Samuel -it had fell oil the nail and rolled lo tho floor. Nobody bad touched it or even looked at it, but it bad fell. It was jost that way with Martha Sweet. She was in as good health as 1 bo when the dish pan fell down ono day, and three ?lays later she fell out of a chamber window and got killed. Ves, Samuel, that was a warniu' fur mc, and 1 went right to cleanin' up your black coat fur the funeral. Them that go down to sea in ships shall behold tho wonders of thc deep." "When did you go to sea?"' bc asked." "Never, but it's thc same tbiug; and if you go scoflln' at these mys teries, you'll hov biles or rheumatics or sunthin1 to mortify the body. It s au awful thing, Samuel Gallup, tu stand in thc presence of death. It's a dyin' woman who is talkin' to you. Yes, Samuel-" "But overcome by her emotions she began to weep again, and Mr. Gallup dropped thc cat to go back to the family almanac. Ile was just getting interested in a weather prediction for six months ahead when she pulled her self together and said: "And one more warnie' Samuel. They suy we are allus warned three different times, and I guess its so. I was out in the yard yisterday lookin' fur catnip when a bird lighted on my shoulder. You remember Sary Tower's oldest gal. Wall, the same thing hap pened to her. and she died in two days. Yes, I've got my three warnin'a, and now I'm ready to spread my wings. I'm sorry to leave you, Samuel, but I-" "Don't stop on my account. Hau lier," he Saidas he looked up from the book. "Do you mean that I can no right on and die ?" she asked in astonish ment. "Certainly." "Within two or three days ?" "Yes-to-night." "Die and leave you a widower ?" "Yes." 'Samuel Gallup, what on earth arc you talking about?" she exclaimed as she rose up and tumbled scissors, thread, needle and rags out of her lap ou the floor. "I'm a talking about your dyin'," he replied as he turned another page in the almanac and rubbed his knee against the leg of the table. "Wall, who'sgoin' to die? I'm sure I ain't. If you imagine I'm goin' to die and be buried for $35, and let you cavort around and bring a second wife into this house you arc as much mis taken as the man who tried to fall up stairs. Now you hear thal, and if you try to murder me in my bed I've got friends who will hunt you to thc gallus." She sat down and picked up her work and trotted her foot and breath ed hard; and Mr. Gallup chuckled softly in his throat, and went out into the kitchen to get a drink of water in the tin dipper.-M.

Thc discovery was made March 31, 1512, and on April 22. 1522, Magellan was killed by a native of Mactan, ono of thc sinai 1er islands. His ship, the Viet ria. which made the first voyage around the world, was taken hack to Spain hy Sebastian L'ano, who suc ceeded in command. Thc islands are of rolcauic forma tion, many of them being simply bare rocks, polished by the action of the waves. Those which have any soil at all are very fertile. Tobacco thc principal product and abaca, or Manila 1 hemp, comes next. (Excepting Cn a. thc Philippines ar?* Spain':' riches! colonial possessions, and like Cuba, they haye nearly always been mis governed and large portions td* their territory have never been more than j nominally uudcr the control of Spain. Class feeling nins very high. The Philippine Spanish are considered not quite up to the tone of the peninsular Spanish: together they hate all the other races, all the other races hate them and each other, and everybody joins in a most cordial hate of the for eigner. Owing to the configuration of thc land-open toward the China sea and practically land-locked toward the Pacific-the tides run to excessive heights. Sometimes two tides running in opposite direction hurl themselves against each other and thc noise of thc shock can be heard for a mile. Ships caught in thc rush of waters are utter ly helpless. The Philippines are the most north ern group of the Indian' archipelago. They have a range of 1,050 miles from north to south aud OOO miles from east to west. There are only 10 of any importance, of which Luzon, 350 miles lang and 175 miles wide, is the largest. The islands, with their fan tastic, tortuous forms, furrowed by straits, stretch out in every direction, their long, narrow peninsulars and capes. From them a succession of islands leads to Horneo and a chain of small islands to Formosa. From November to April the tem perature, though often reaching Si! degrees, is not oppressive and the nights and mornings arc generally cool. During the rainy season, which continues from May,to November, the heat is very oppressive and enervating and is unhealthy for strangers. 10 pi - demie diseases are, however, rare. Cholera is occasionally epidemic, but not more so thau in other and cooler countries. Thunder storms are frequent and disastrous and tremendous damage is done by the vagulo, a sort of cyclone which sweeps over thc country from the east, rotating uuiformly from left to right aud spending itself in the China sea or breaking upon the Asiatic continent, as did thc one of September ?, 1874, which swept an enormous mass of water upon thc city of Hong Kong, engulfing over 1,000 people and Foundering; fourteen ships. The bay of Manila is one of thc most spacious and beautiful in the world. The old city of Manila, which was founded by Lagaspi in 1571, is surrounded by a crumbling wall of nasonry 200 or 300 years old. In this tvull are vaults for storage and a num ber of guns are mounted on thc top. Soldiers and priests are plentiful in _}\o narrow, dark streets of tho 'dd sity. The river Fasig, which flows nto the harbor, is a rival for filth of )ur own Chicago river. There are nany ruins in evidence of the hidden )owcr of thc earthquakes which occa lionally work jircat damage in the is ands. Thc streets of Manila arc ighted by kerosene, as the frequency )f earthquakes makes thc laying of jaspipes impracticable. A frequent and to thc foreigner ather odd sight is the caraboa or vater buffalo, which is used univer sally both in city and country as a joast of burden. It is au ungainly, ix-likc animal, about one-third larger ,hcn our cattle, of a dark, leaden :olor, with whitish feet, scanty and :oarse hair. Its head is carried low, vith the large, flattened horns extend ng almost horizontally backward. This slow and docile but powerful srenture is guided by a ring through he nose, to which is attached a cord ending backward to the driver, who s either perched upon its back or ipon tho shafts of the queer-looking chicle.
