Beside the tewing-table chained and bent,
They stitch for the lady, tyrannous ani
proud?
For her a wedding gown, for them a shroud;
The etioth ivud iticth, but never meud the

Torn in life's golden ourtains tilad Youth
went,
And left them alone with Time, and now
if bowed
With burdens they should sob and ory aloud,
Wondsiing, the rioh would look from their
content.
And so this glimmerring life at Inst recedes
In unkiown, endless depths beyond re
call;
And what s the worth of all our anoient
creels,
If here, at the end of ages, this is all?
A white face floating in the whirling ball,
A dead face splasoing io the river reeds?

DR TALMAUE 8 DISCOURSE
On the Importance of Prompt Action
in Anything We Have to Do
From a paesago of Soripturo unobserved
by most readers Dr. Talmago in
this disoourso shows tho importance of
prompt ?otion in anything wo havo to
do for ourselvosor others; text, Koclcsiftstes
xi, 4, "Ho that obscrvoth tho
wind shftll not sow."
What do yon find in this paoked sentence
of Solomon's monologue? 1 find
in it a farmer at his front door examining
tho woathor. It is seedtime. His
fields have boon plowed and harrowed.
The wheat is in tho barn in sacks, ready
to bo taken afield and scattered. Now
is tho time to sow. H it tho wind is
not favorable. It may blow up a storm
before night, and ho may got wot if ho
starts out for tho sewing; or it may be
a long storm, that will wash out the
seed frem the soil; or thoro may have
boon a long drought, and the wind may
oontinuo to blow dry weather. Tho
parohed fields may nottako in tho grain,
and the birds may pick it up, and tho
labor as well as tho seod may bo wasted
So ho gives up tho work for that day and
goes into tho houso and wails to see
what it will be on tho morrow. On tho
morrow tho wind is still in tho wiong
dirootion, and for a wholo week and for
a month. Did you over see
snob a long spell of bad
. weather? Tho lethargic and overcautious
and dilatory agriculturist allows
tho season to pass without sowing,
and no sowing, of course, no harvest.
That is what Solomon means whon he
says in his text, "He that obscrvoth
the wind shall not sow."
As muohin our time as in Solomonio
times there is abroad a fatal hesitancy,
a disposition to let little things stop us,
a ruinous adjournment. We all want
to do some good in the world, but how
easily wo aro halted in our endeavors.
Perhaps wo aro solicitors for some groat
oharity. There is a good man who has
largo means, and ho is accustomed to
givo liberally to asylums, to hospitals,
to roform organizations, to schools, to
ohurohes, to communities desolated
with Hood'or dovastatcd with fires
# But that good man, like many a good
man, is mercurial in bis temperament.
He is depressed by atmoshperic
changes. He is always victimized by
tho oast wind. For this or that reason 1

Thoro comes a dark Sabbath morning o
Tho pastor looks out of tho window and c
scos tho clouds gather and then dis l
oharge thoir burdens of rain. Instead p
of a full ohurch it will bo a handful of h
people with wot foot and tho dripping t
umbrella at tho doorway or in the ond s
of pew. The pastor has prepared ono c
of his best sermons. It has oost him i
groat research, and he has boon muoh ?:

tho sermon aside for a clear day and r
talks platitudes and goes home quito ?
depressed, but at tho same time feeling n
that ho has done his duty. He did not h
realize that in that small audiocco v>
there wero at least two persons who t
ought to have had better treatment, d
One of thoso hearers was a man in a s
orisis of struggle with evil appetite. A r
oarefully prepared discourse under tho s
divine blessing would have been to him ii
complete viotory. The fires of bin r
would have bocn extinguished, and his
keen and brilliant mind would havo L
boon consecrated to the gospel ministry ti
and ho would have bocn a mighty cvan- t
gel, and tens of thousands of souls u
would havo, under tho spell of his a
Coristian eloquence, given up sin and t(
started a new life, and throughout all ti
the heavens there would have been a
congratulation and hosanna, and after bi
many ages of eternity had passed there o
would be celebration among tho ran- o
semed of what was accomplished ono
stormy Sunday in a ohutch on earth a
under a muhty gospel s? rm.?n deliver* d o
to 15 or 20 people. Bui the crisis I il
speak of was not properly met. Tho t?
man in strugglo with evil habit h ard >
that stormy day no word that moved si
him. He went out in the rain uniu a
vited and unhrlped back to his evil S
way and down to his overthrow. Had tl
it boon a sunshiny Sabbath he wouid il
havo hoard something wunh hcaiiug. h
But tho wind blew from a stonny direo- 1
tion that Saboath day. That go*pcl ai
husbandman notioed it and acted upon t)
its suggestion and may disoover some w
day his great mistake Ho had a sack m
full ef tho finest of tho whe^t, hut ho w
withheld it, and some da> he will find, fi
when tho whole story is told, that ho 21
was a vivd illustration of tho trath of ti
my text, "He that olscrvcth the wind 11
shall not sow." gi
In all dopartmcnts of lifo tho.o aro m
those hindorod by tho wind of puhlio In
opinion. It has become an aphorism hi
in politics and in all groat movements,
"Ho is waiting to sco which way tho y(
wind blows." And it is no easy thing
to defy publio opinion, to be run upon t0
by nowspapcrs, to bo overhauled in so )i|
oial circles, to bo anathematized by ti,
thoso who hcrotoforo wero your frionds w

It only required the wai-iug of a few
months, when timo it&clf removed all

"Lot m have war with England if
ooeds bo," said tho most of the people
if our northern states io 1861, when
Mason and 81idell, tho distinguished
southerners, had b?cn taken by our
navy from tho British steams r Trent
ind tho English government resented
tho aot of our government in stopping
jce of their ships. "Givo up those
prisoners," sa'd Great Britain. "No,"
said the almost, unanimous opinion of
tho north. ' Do not givo them up. Lit
jb havo war with England rather than

Llio fieioost storms of publio opinion

Seeing that tho retention of -those two

For 30 years the wind blew tho wrong

but kept right on sowing.

and rollicking way, "I am not hko tbo

What aro you sowing, my brothoi? Aro
you sowing evil habits? Aro you sowing

sowing hatreds, revenges, discontents,
unclean thoughts or unoleau actions? It'
so, you wiil raiso a big orop ?a very big
orop. fno farmer sometimes plants
things that do not oomo up, and ho has
to plant them over ag&ia. But those
evil things that you have planted wilt
take root aud oome up in harvest of disappointment,
in harvest of pain, in harvest
of despair, in harvt si of fire. Go
right through sorno of tho unhappy

that may be quoted as dosoriptivo
o those who dj evil: '"They have sown
tho wind, and they shall reap tho whirlwind."
Same on has 6aid, "Children
uiiy be strangled, but deeds never."
There aro other persons who truthful ly
say: "I am doing tho best I oau. The
clou is aro thiok and the wind blows tho
wrong way, hut I am sowing prayers
and sowing kindaess and Bowing help
tuiccfas and sowing hopes of a bolter
world." Good for you, my brother, my
sister 1 What you plaot will ooino up.
What you sow you will rise into a harvest
the wealth of which you will not
know until you go up higher. I hear the
rustling of your harvest in the blight
fields of heaven. Tho soft galos of that
land, as they pass, bend the full headed
grain in ourvcB of boauty. It is golcon
in tho light of a sun that nover sets. As
you pass in you will Dot havo to gird on
the sioklo for tho reaping, and there will
bo nothing to reminds you of weary husbandmen
toiling under hot summer sun
on earth and lying down under the shadow
of tho trco at noontide, so tired
were they, so very tirod. No, no; your
harvest will bo roaptd without any toil
of your hands, without any boswoating
of your brow. Christ in ono of his sor
mons told how your harvest will be
gathered when ho said, "Tne reapers
are the angels."

not an ordinary ooourronoe, and to sa]
just what tho result should bo, ii
metoorologioal way, is not an entirely
easy thing in our present stato o

Addod to all the above, it must bkopt
n mind that wo are still near the
contor of the Jupiter equinox, and that
a regular Vuloan storm period cxtondfrora

in saying that a maximum tendency to

even in toe exoroise of that caution
forethought and watchfulness whio)
should always ba exorcised in tho face
of Datum's vicissitudes and phenomena
Tho storm period ocntral on Jul)
3rd, shown in tho storm diagram
will bring a series of very aotiv<
storms, during which tho frequent ant
marked fluctuations of tho barometei
will both bo an admonition and oonsti
tutoasluiy. Tbo oncoming of storu
areas may be attended with very higi
temper*.urcs in (mattered sections o
this and other continents; but we pre
diet that tho phenomenally low teen
peratures will bo rcalizid generally.
Ordinarily, wo would diuio tbo 3rd
4th and 5th as days of greatest storu
danger, but under tho unusual oondi
tions prevailing, thoy arc probable an)
timo from the 1st to the 6th.

is tho prcsenco of this Venue

not be present during the regular storm

probability of cxircmo beat and

' The first, says the Newport News Herald,
tlag indicative of sehession was raised at
, Charleston, 8. C., December 19, 18U0, one
j day prior to the passage of the ordinance
1 whereby South Carlina withdrew from the
r Fed. ral Union and declared its independence.
^ The Hag is a tl ag of solid red, with a crescent
and a star, in white, quartered in the upper
' left hand corner. Who designed the tl ig is
not known to this writer; a number of
, Charleston ladies purchased the material,
. male it on the pattern described, and ran it
I up on the tall s'aff of the Custom House. Its
dimension* were eight feet in length and six
, feethroal.
Later it became the naval fiag of South
Caroiiua and couiinued such to the close of
the war. Those made for the na7y were
forked at the end. Tne South Cutolina privvt
teer Dixie, tlyiuir tho star and cresccut Hag,
engaged the United Mates battle ship
1 Ktystoue State, and after a terrific fight, in
) which the Keystone State suffered terribly,
, the Dixie was captured in a siukiug oonditiou .
, its emird crew beiug dead or disabled front 1
. wouuds.
Toe oritic3 objected to the ted flig with 1
its silver quartering*, on the grouud that *
silver or whue on red was non-heralaic. It
was criticised aiso on the ground that it was 1
3 almost identical wi.h tue Turkish flag. *

alteration was that the small star in white f

1 upper border of lower red space. In the c
centre of the blue canton stars correspond

The tirat flag bore seven stars, that b ing ,
the number ot States in the Conftderacy at ^
' the time the Stars and Bars became the 1
1 Southern tlag by enactment at Montgomery, t
) Ala , on the dale mentioned above Later t
! became customary to make flags with thir- ,
I teen stars, one for each of the eleven seceding y
, Mates, one for Miuyland and one for Ken- 0
lucky, and in some instances the Stars and t
' Bars bore fourteen stars, the State of Mis- j
souri being included in the Southern constel- ,
1 lation?

I national flag on May 1, 1 fetid, an Act of Con:
greBS passed on that date substituted another
I tlag hereafter to be described, but while the
. Stars and Bars by the subsequent enactment
. ceased to be the Hag of tne Confederate 8
i Mates of America, to the end of the war it v
floated on many forts and was carried by s
1 many regiment. It is probable that when C
> Father By an wrote his immortal requiem of t
the Lost Cause he had iu mind the Hag of j
) the Stars and Bars.
The Beauregard Battle tl ig is the beet
j known emblem of the Lost Cause, and the
, history of its origin is exceedingly interest- 8
' ing It was designed jointly by Gen. Pierre
louluut Beauregard and Col. William P. V
Milet, of Gen. Beauregard's stall. In t
1 heraldic terms the battle tlag consists of a n
held of red and quartered therein a broad, {,
blue saltier bordered aui white, both bars of J
