SEPTfciMBKR 29. 1871 THE LUTHERAN VISITOR. COLUMBIA. S. < Hat who are theoc Bobemiaus or Uypaiea, oud where did they come from t Have a* have in vain tried to answer this question. The simple and ouly well-known fact is, ***** they are found scattered over Ku rope, Asia, and even America, aud that their physiognomy presents a type wholly exceptional to the races they wander among, aud seem to point to a southern origin. * Tbs Sehool-Xsfters of tbs Middle Ages. there was dauger that you boys, as well as other boys about here, might become drunkards by my meaoa. That by tasting, seeing and handling liquor you would leant to love it, and thus become drunkards. I know you both like to tasks it now/ ‘Yea, aaid I, and it is real good, too.’ ‘Ahr said iny father, ‘I see I have not begun any too early to check you/ and ho looked at me very keenly. “Now, if you keep on liking to taste liquor, you will end in a druudanfs grave. I see 1 have been doing wrong, but 1 did not know it; now I do know it, 1 shall act fron principle, and deatroy all the liqnor that is here/ “He then went to the hogsheads and barrels aud began to let the liquor run. Hundreds of dollars' worth was afloat tofore dinner. Not a word of regret did we hear. Home men came over at dinner time, and stood amaxed at the sights. ‘Why, what are you doing V Have you lost your senses Y The man is entry/ Such expressions they used. <Oh no, neighbors,' said father, •‘I aui iu my right mind, and am doing right.’ ‘Well, sell us the rest of the liquor and the still house, if you don't want it’ ‘No, no, what is wrong for uie is wroug for you also,' said he. “By uight not a drop remained of all the liquor. All gone to waste. The news flew round the neighbor hood that father had lost his mind. People came to see for themselves, and great was their wonder. Father took the kettles and stilling utensils to Frederick and sold them for old copper. The largest kettle he had Axed for mother to boil apple butter in. We had a neighboring farmer who was loud in bis denunciations of father's coudact He called him crazy, wasteful, improvident, aud said that he and his family would come to waut. Father and mother were sure that they were right, and thought that it made no matter if everybody else did blame them. Father’s lace grew more cheerful every day. He need to say, ‘The path of principle is the safe path.' Just your copy, Harry." “What did grand father do after he had sold all the kettles aud still house uteusfls, father f" “Well, he sold the boards and timbers to a uiau who wanted to build a siuoke house, and then he had a farm besides, and understood how to run a grist mill, so that although he had lost a great deal of mouey by destroying his distiller}’, yet he found plenty else to do, and it seemed thiyt God pros|>ered him in his business. There were plenty of people called ‘croakers,’ who would cotne and say, ‘wait till harvest comes, and you will pay up for all this. You won’t get a single hand to help you.' Hands are (teople who go round in harvest time aud help the fanners get in their grain, and geuerally get very high wages, for the labor is great, and the son hot, so that harvest is a busy time, and people must work hard. Well, the next summer came. When the liar vest was almost ripe, one evening Mr. K came over, and said, ‘Well, have you gotten your hands T ‘No, sir,’ said father, ‘none yet/ ‘Are you goiug to give them whiskey, or are you goiug to stick to your uew tangled notions f ‘No whiskey, that’s certain.’ ‘You won’t! Well,Thomas. I tell yon one thing, yoa’M get no hand*. You are clean goue crazy. What do you set yourself up to be so much better thau everybody else for P ‘I dou't do that, Mr. K , only 1 act from principle. I think it is wrong to make liquor and give or sell it to others. I am willing to give the additional mouey to them which would be spent for liquor, aud good hot coffee and lemonade, but whiskey I will not give.’ “Mr. K went away and spread the report that my father could not get any hands, and that his harvest would all be lost. Bure enough, every one father asked wauled trAw- key. The neighborhood were de termined to make him change his mind. He had to bear their jeers and ridicule alone. Not another inau in the valley had the courage to staud by him. Afraid of public opinion, aud afraid that they would lose their harvests, they dared uot do as be did. “Our fields grew beautifully golden and' ready to be cut, for the graiu was ripe. One evening, as we sat iu the shady yard, after supper was over, father said: ‘Well, mother, 1 ekpect that we shall have to take our harvest off ourselves. I can’t get any hands. You and the girls aud D must help me the best that yon can, and certainly we can get enough cut for our bread and seed for uext year; the rest must perish.’ Mother and the others said that they would help all that they knew bow, and that father should not yield his principles for the sake of a few more bushels of grain. Iu those dajrs there were no reaping or rakiog machines, no cradles, with which the meu out the graiu, and laid it in shining' swathes, ready tor the binder. No, none of the modem Improvements were known then ; but people used a Metis, or leaping hook, as they called it, and grasped a bunch of wheat with the left hsnd and cut it off with the siekle iu the right hand. It was very laborious, tiresome work, you may be sure. “Well, in the morning early, we all went to the wheal Aeld. Father showed mother and the girls how to go to work. My brother hound the sheaves, and I, being too small to do anything else, bustled about mod dragged the sheaves up into stacks, os well ss I could, and thought I was doing wonders. ‘Hallo f came a voice from the road, about 11 o’clock, ‘wbat ore you all doing P ‘Trying to get in my harvest,’ said hither. ‘Will you give liquor P ‘No/ said father. The man long I ted aud went on bis way. In about fifteen minutes more we got to the end of the field. Mother stopped and rested a little. 8be had never been used to snch work, aud she was very tired indeed; but, as she was sure father was doiug right, site was determined to help him. “We heard voices of meu talking as if some persons were coming down the toad. Preaeatly the man who had coiled to us before lee|ied over the fence, followed by two more men. He cauie up to mother and took the sickle out of her hand, ssyiug, ‘Mrs. B , you ore tired enough. You go to the house with the girls ami get us our dinners. We will take your place*. We honor your bus band’s strength of character, aud he sbau’t lone his harvest, for perhaps be Is right after all.’ You may be sure, that we were glad enough. Father got his harvest iu lielore any of bis neighbors. The wen being sober, worked faster, and did more in the day thau if they had been half drunk with whiskey. They had plenty to eat, and hot coffee, milk am! good spring water to drink, aud the extra money that would have been spout for liquor. “I was only ten years old j but 1 never forgot my father’s motto, and the severe test that his principles were put to. No more trouble for father to get hands for the next year. Before harvest came again, father hod talked to a good many of the people around, and hod gotten sev* era I to sign the temperance pledge, aud to promise to help him reform the morals of the community, in regard to liquor drinking and selling. Away up in the mountains there, among the t^atortin and Bine Bulge l»eaks, begun a reformation, which has not ceased its intluence yet, although my father bos tweu dead these many years, lie lived long enough to witness the fruits of his labors. None were more tieneflted than us two boys. I forget bow liquor looked or tasted. God blessed my father, aud be saw both of bis sons in the ministry, and beard them preach the gu«|iel of Jesus Christ in that same old church that witnessed his reeolntiou to destroy his distil lery. He lived to nee a thorough radical change in the whole volley, and to enjoy the privlieges of a pastor of their own community. His influence jwos widely felt, and thus God fulfilled his promise," ‘Those that honor me I will honor.’* “What Itecame of Mr. K—, father r said Ilarry. * “Oh, Mr. K had a sod foie. He would not join in with the tern peranee movement. Hie children, some of them became very dissipated. One sou died a miserable death iu the Week Mr. K was thought to be very rich, but when he died hie estate proved to be insolvent. He died a bard, dreadful death, and hit expressions were very horrible to hear. God forsook him! He wished, when too late, that lie had followed my father’s advice. The Bible calls such kind of men ‘fools,’ and he certainly acted a foolish part. He chose this world instead of the future world of happiness, and *pre ferral the pleasures of siu for a season.’ “Now, Harry, don’t you see that your copy is a good, safe, sure road to travel f It leads you straight to heaven, for none can travel it with out the aid of God, and by depending upou him for help, they can act from principle. Begin while you are a boy, and whenever you are tempt ed to act wrong, learn to say ‘ao’ with flrmuess and courage. Let Christian principle govern all your actions, and then you will act right." Miscellaneous. In conning fruit, an equal teoipe rature between the jar aud the fruit, or ap|»roachiug it nearly, is necessary.

But the empire of the Frankish ruler embraced nearly the whole of Western Europe. It comprised mII Germany to the bor der* of Bvlsvoms, all France from Marseilles to the British seas. O’er this vast region, once the seat of a gifted aud progressive population, had settled tile gloom of savage ignorance. Men had ceased to learn, and had sunk once more into brutal apathy.
