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."

This we have tried to our mitisfac

1 sec before me delicate forms, lit
symbols of the gentle spirit within

to have sway by other means. They
suggest the reflection that there Is a
mysterious, magic power Hi the soft
tone, gentle manners, pure, meek,
and imtieot spirit, natural to a culti
vated Christian lady, which it is ss
impossible to resist aa it is to define.
Who ran measure the influence of

a sweetness and sunotity her pres
nice gives to the domestic circle, of
which she is st once the inspiring
spirit and the chief ornament! In
the larger social circle iu which she
moves, bow many evil influences,
low poasious. and vulgar tastes are
suppreaa*d—-how many generous
sentiments are awakened and noble
impulses given I
But all this is limited to those of
the gentler sex who have received
careful culture. All the various
faculties of the mind and all the
impulses of the heart must have been
subjected to proper discipline. In
nocence must be guanled by knowl
edge and fortified by principle.
Female iosLart* and intuitions— the
shortest road to the heautifal, the
true snd the good—are to become
clear and strong by the aid of reason.
Warnsu was created to be the com
panioti of man, snd is to be educated
for that com | mi u ton ship. Iu addition
to the charms of her sex which
nature has given her, she must an
tier staud the art of making a happy
borne. This is to tie made a diligent
study and daily practice. Hhe must,
moreover, store her intellect with so
much knowledge ns shall enable her
to interest her husband with national
mm srsaUou. The trivialUea and
entertaining nonsense, which puss
very well in gay vising society, can
not be substantial enough to sup|iort
the interest of private snd conjugal
life for a series of years. The man
of vigorous snd active mind will tire
even of a pretty fan. if be is obliged
to associate it with mental inactivi
ty. Men will flee, st times, fnun
insipidity, aud n-sort to the dub

is love, mast, by substantial quali
ties, feed the flame per|ictiially.
A great |Mrt of our time is |mnm*1

not sufficiently emphasize the ini-
(Mirtattce of fortimig and fostering a
pure taste, that shall lead you in
stinctively to njert the vile trash
which unhappily constitute* a great
pait of our lighter current literature.

Railway Travel
Ibi not travel at night if you can
avoid it.
Take your bn-aklk*t always before
starting 011 u journey.
Obtain a seat near the aisle and
near the centre of the car, aud near
the rent re of the train. *
Never stand an instant 011 any ear
platform.
I'lirchHm' iiotliiug whatever to eat
oti a rail tram uuless it is a simple
sandwich to t»e eaten at noon.
Keep yiwir ticket under your hat
band, or the inner lining.
Avoid eouversation while tbe cars
an* iu motion, liecauae the overstrain
of tbe voice to make one heard above
the noise of tlie wheels has beau
such that iu uiauy «*as<*s then* has
beeu such a tension of the vocal
chords as to iuqiair the voice for
many mouths.
All reading iu railcars while in
motion is iqjurious; but the iujury
will to greatly mitigated by reading
only a quiti ter of an hour at a time,
aud for the uext five minutes let the
eyes to directed to very distant ob
jects. Those alteration from tilings
near to those remote is a very great
relief and rest. 1
