THE LUTHERAN VISITOR. COLUMBIA, S. C., SEPTEMBER 27, 1872 Poetry. * " For the Lnther&n Visitor. One Tear in Heaven. __—- -r* BY M. C. S. „ (Dedicated to the parents of a lovely l»abe that^paiwed away trow earth, Au gust 24th, 1871.] Oue year ago—ami yet it soeuia But yefttcruight of painful dream*, We watched life’s ebbing.tide, Ottr cherub boy, our hope and pride. Time scarce has quelled the yearniug {min To clasp the^» to our heart again ; • , And yet it casts a mellowing haze “ Athwart those bitter, bitter days. For who; ah !\vho would call thee back To tread again life’s weary track f Would draw thee from thy heavenly birth Ami chain thy pinions down to earth? One year we’ve missed thy pratt’liug tone, One year for thee before the throne, One year onr earthly hopes are*riven, One year our angel boy in heaven. « • Oue year we’ve mourned above thy tomb, Whilst thon hast basked in Eden's bloom. One year our deepest gTief unsealed, What has the year to thee revealed f • Ah! what ? wo bend a list’niug ear, And feel that tliou art liov’ring near, Wo fain would catch one whispered tone, One gleam of light from worlds unknown. Vat well to wait till life is o’er Or earthly sounds could charm no more, On mortal eye those visions bright. Would close in sudden, ray less night. One year in heaven ; ah! youth nor age. Can read on earth that gilded page, |. But thou the inyst’ry can’st unfold. By sage and prophet loiig foretold. Oue year in heaven, yet not by years, * They iimnber life on those bright spheres, Nor seasons pass nor flowers decay, Nor shades obscure that cloudless day. They rise in knowledge, joy and love, Vet ne’er grow old in worlds above ; Their watchword there Jehovah’s name, Where dwells in light the great I Am. Lexington, 8.

NUMBER FOUR. “GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF T1IY STEW ARDSHIP.” No oue will question the truth of the assertion, that every reasonable being will be called to account for tho manner in which he has im proved the blessiugs of heaven, and of liitn who has received much will much be required. You, my young friends, have received much; there is mor%4hau #ne talent committed to your care, and remember from whose hand the blessing comes. Compare your lot with that of the ignorant, debased, untaught child, of poverty and sin, and let each one ask himself tire questiou, “Who maketh us to differ, and what have I that I did uot receive!* Remember that, the un profitable servant was condemned, not for auy great transgression, bat simply because be had betrayed the trust reposed in him—had hidden his Lord’s money, instead of employ ing it in trade and thus increasing it. And what is the greatest talent ever committed to the charge of mortal man ! A knowledge of gos pel truth. And this talent is yours, dear youth of a Christian laud; yours not only to treasure up in your own hearts, but to dissemmiuate through out the world. No matter what your cireumstauces, or what your calling, if you have the .Bible yourself, you are ^blpiiliiided to make known its tretls to fitters. ‘ Whether at home or abroad, at the work shop or in the school-room, in the field or in the pul pit, you may preach the gospel by a holy life and godly conversation. “Freely ye have received, freely give.” Each at his death will be called, to “give an account of his steward ship,” but the final reckoning will be reserved for the day of judgment, and there take place in the presence of all nations. Picture to yourself then the glorious reward of him who has followed the footsteps of his Master in “bringing many sons unto glorf.” IT ear the welcome plaudit— “Wall done good and faithful ser vant; Ihfiti hast been faithful over a tew things, I will make thee rul£r over rnauy things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Turn then to him who is himself saved “as by Are,” who having known the gospel all his jtfe, yet never taught its pre- cions truths to a single fellow-creature or who has destroyed his own in fiueuce and brought reproach upon the cause of his Master by the in consistency of his life. How can he bear the reproaches of those who are lost through bis regret, or the mild rebuke of his Judge even though blended with pity and forgiveness 1 Bat if we shrink from such a lot, how shall we contemplate his, who, having , learned the glad tidings of salvation at a mother’s knee, who having heard the command in the morning «kf life, “Go into my vine yard and labor,” turned a deaf ear alike to command, promise and threatening, and is fonnd still idle at the close of the day, having neither entered the vineyard himself, nor enlisted the labor of others! “He that knew his Lord’s win, and did it not shall be beaten with many stripes.” And through all eternity the bitter est dregs in the inexhaustible cup of wrath diviue will be,blended with these words, “Ye knew your duty, but yet did it not” May heaven preserve you, my dear readers, from this fearful doom. Then before bidding you adieu, let mo beseech you to make this your daily, nay, your constant prayer: “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do t” And may you hear aud heed the answer, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature ” • • • A Historical’ Parallel. The historian Gibbou has remarked that if a man were called upon to fix the period in the history of the world, duriug which the condition of the human.race was most happy aud prosperous, he would, without hesi tation, name that which elapsed from the death of Domitian to the acces sion of Com modus, when the vast extent of the Rotnau J Empire was governed by absolute law, under the guidance of virtue and wisdom. The decliue and till of the Romau Em pire was published in 1776, the birth year of American Independence, but if it bad been written eighty years later, the author might have found an exoeptlou to his remark, so far, at least, as our country is concerned, in that golden age. of liberty aud con tentment, in which not only the image but the spirit of freedom has enshrined in the hearts as well as the institutions of a free people. ' The mean degeneracy and vile des potism which have succeeded our former high estate, are rendered the more aggravating when we contrast it with onr former exalted perfeetiou and happiness. The detestable ty- rauny which now prevails ovof the South has sometimes been likened to an Oriental despotism. The phrase conveys no adequate idea of the sit uation. It is related that when Per sia was governed by the descendants of Sell, a race of princes renowned for their wanton cruelty, a young noblemau declared 'that he never de parted from the Sultan’s presence without satisfying himself whether his head was still on his shoulders. It is remarked by the narrator of this incident that the tranquility of the Persian docs uot seem to have been disturbed by this peril, any more thau by tins danger of lightning or apoplexy. He bad been trained np frdm iufancy in the severe discipline of the seragiio; his language afford ed him no word for auy other form of government except absolnte mon archy, and history informed him that such had ever been the condition of mankind. These facts have becu pointed out to show the peculiar misery of the Romans duriug the four score years, when Rome groaned beueath a tyranny which extermi nated the ancient families of the Re public, am! was fatal to almost every virtue and every talent. We are told how differently the minds of Romans were prepared for slavery-from those of the Persians, having preserved, as they had, tlie sentiments, or at least the ideas, of their free born ances tors ; having imbibed from Grecian philosophy the most just and liberal notions of tbe dignity of human na ture, and the origin of civil society, and learned from the history of their own country to reverence a free, a virtuous and victorious Common wealth. There is another analogy to the present condition of things to be found in the utter impossibility which existed of escaping from the hand of the oppressor. Rome, like America had no powerful neighbor, to arouse apprehension, exert the gentle res traint of example, or afford a refuge for the oppressed. “Wherever you are,” said Cicero to the exiled Mar- cellus, “remember that you are equally within the power of the con queror.” Who can fail to be struck with the identity between the causes of the peculiar misery of the Romans un der their tyrants, and those of the sufferingsof the people of the Bouth- erd States ! These men now enslaved, are the descendants of the race which achieved Magna Charta for England and Independence for this country. The South, thus treated, is also the main source of revenue to that Union from which she has been kept out like a leper, and only admitted at last under the most tyrannical aud exasperating conditions. The corner stone of this grand constitutional fabric was laid by the hands of the giant who now stands just inside the threshold of the temple, his hair shorn, his eyes put out, and, for the present, making* sport for the Philis tines. Itis the proud old Southern colonies, which, having no quarrel of their own with the Kiug of England, yet, took np from generous sympathy the cause of Massachusetts; but for whose Washington the Revolution ary War would have been a disas trous failure; whose Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence; whose Patrick Henry aroused the na tions to arms with his fiery eloquence; whose Marshall was the glory of American jurisprudence ; whoae Mad ison, Monroe, Tyler, Harrisou, Tay lor, adorned the Executive chair; whose Winfield Soott and Rough and Ready were the leading military figures of the Mexican war; whose statesmen have illustrated the coun cils as her soldiers the camps of the Republic—these are the grand old Commonwealths which for Seven long years have been ground to the earth under the heel of the negro aud military vassalage, aud are .now ouly permitted to occupy the edifice which they made bj’ their own hands, and adorned and immortalized by their genius and virtue, from its foundation to its pinnacle, as cap tives and slaves! Tbe country i£ looking with the most ardent hope, and yet not with out painful Bolicitude to the events of November next to decide whether the miser}- of Rome under her ty- rauts, reproduced as it has been iu the Southern States, is to be made perpetual. Domestic Life. Domestic life is the school of pa tience. Its duties, its difficulties, and its delights, too, are constantly recurring. Ouly the work of to-day can be done to-day. There is a sameness,'also, in the mere external form, and ever recurring round that must disgust, or make one a mere mechanical drudge, unless the heart is put into the work, and the little, common, trivial ads, are made the embodiment of noble cuds.- Step bj step, stitch by stitch, stroke by stroke, the work gties on. One round of duty is completed only, to com mence another. Every day is a les son and a practical exercise in pa tience. It is a good lemon, and we need to learn and practice it. It helps us to do another work which is absolutely necessary to the perfec tion of liumau character and the happiness of home, and that is the surrender of self. When two. |>er- sons unite iu the marriage relation, they become one by mutual concea sions. They mutually npproarli each other. There is much to give up as well as to give on both sides. . There are many sharp corners to be rounded off, many rough surfime* to lx* made smooth, and many crook ed ways to be made straight, and irregularities to be adjusted. Some of these are in the very grain of the constitution ; . some of them have been confined and hardened into habit, and it is difficult to make any impressiou upon them. . Neither must seek to make self the standard, and to exact all the surrender and conformity from the other. Neither must seek to become the other, but something better thau cither. When two substances unite, chemically, tbe resqlt is a substance different from either of its components. So it should be in marriage. Tbe result should be favorable to husbaud. and wife. Each oue should become freer, nobler, stronger, purer, and wiser— sbonld attain a higher excellence than either could Attain alone. This will always be tbe result when the rule of action is mutual surrender, accommodation, and' help. Each should inquire, What can 1 yield ? In what respect and how far can I reform f Every day-will bring occasions to put our principles to the test. There are diversities of taste, of principle. Happy are those, who can yield their own preference so cheerfully, that the diversities of character are soft ened and shaded off into harmonious varieties, and not hardened into irri tating and hostile opposition. A great part of the suin of domes tic misery is caused by this want of mutual accommodation, in apparent ly trivial things. It is as though tho builder bad left bore and there iu the floor, partitions and passages, the sharp points of nails to pierce the feet and read the garments; or as though a thousunTl rough surfaces aud sharp corners were frettiug the inmates, aud loose, ill fitting joints wore annoying them. If we could see tho spiritual house as we see the natural, We should discover all these defects in tbe very walls. We would see the marks and scars of paiuful collisions: the want of proportion and harmouy in the various apart ments. I repeat, theu, if we desire? to have the work in our spiritual building to goon harmoniously to a successful and noble issue, we must seek harmony in little things. Our intercourse must be courteous and respectful. Wertiust be filled with that worthy fear which is the off spring of love—not fear of each other, but fear for each other; fear of ourselves that we may be w anting [in some attention or respect; fear that we may do less for each other, and exact more from each other, than we ought. In a word we must seek tho good of each other, and of all in tbe house, and around that end as a centre, tbe life of each aud all should revolve in freedom.—Setc Jerusalem Messenger. Progrew of Surgery; Skin-Grafting. Some highly interesting experi ments in surgery have recently been made ill this country in what is called “skin-grafting,” a brief ac count of which is given in one of the daily papers: “This curious surgical operation is now not uncommon iu the hospitals and in private practice. Prof. A; B. Mott, of Bellevue Hospi tal, has introduced it there. Some time ago an Irishwoman op^gs city was severely injured by the explo sion of a kerosene lanqi, by which her olotbiug was set ou fire ; and her right urtn and her right breast down to the stomach were frightfully burned. She was removed to Belle- vue Hospital and plated in -Dr. Mott’s ward. Her case was uuder treatment for months, h n d the pa tient api>eared incurable. At the same time a man named j IcCletiahau was in the Hospital w hose leg had been amputated at the thigh. Dr. Mott considered that be might use the healthy skin from the limb iu oue more effort to cure the disabled woman. He rcSilved to teat the «f>- eratiou of ‘grafting.’ Eighty nine pieces of iu tegument, each about 1-16 of an iuch square, were 4ut from the amputated limb before tbe natural warmth had passed out cjf it, aud by gentle pressure applied to as many poiuts of the great open Sore ou the woman’s breast aud arm. Of these 811 pieces, 80 adhered add became a part of her system. The cure is now lierfect, aud the man w ho gave of his body to heal the wotnau is also well. Tho practice of •grafting’ is looked u|>ou with favor by eminent surgeons. Sometimes the skin is ob tained for the purpose from the body of a iiersou willing to render so much service to another, but more fre quently it is cat away from the healthy parts of the patient’s own body. In this cast*, however, Dr. Mott used skin from an amputated limb, and thus effected a cure. Old aud obstiuate ulcers aud burns will yield to this treatment when they will not to any other.” The Toll on Grinding Wheat. The idea of |atying one-eighth of a bushel for wheat for .grinding the other Hewn eighths belongs to tlie last century, (although it is now done,) when Georgia was a colony of Great Britain, ami Tennessee a traus Alpine settlement of Nortih Carolina. East Tennessee abounds in fine mill streams, and three thousand dollars will build a mill that can grind two huudred bushels of wheat a day for ten dollars. . Suppose thirty farmers who raise wheat subscribe one hum red dollars each and build a mill to grind their grain ou a basis of five cedts a bushel aud two hundred bushels a day ! They pay two millers two dollars a day each, aud have six dollars left. This gives twelve huudred dollars iu two hundred days. Two hundred dollars pay all incidental expenses ami leave one thousand dollars la conic from an investment of three thousand dollars. These thirty far mers raise forty thousand bushels of wheat nml grind it; ami they re ceive back fifty-eight pounds of flour ami bran for every sixty pounds of wheat sent to the mill. The wheat loses two pounds iu passing through the smut mill. Of the fifty-eight IKMiml* returned, forty-three are flour aud fifteen feed for cuw si aud other stock. This first-rate stock feed, at one-third of a cent a poutiil, is worth five eents, and just pays for grinding a bushel of wheat; while forty-three pounds of flour, sold to a laboring man for two dollars and seventy-five cents |>er one hundred |H>dmls, gives the farmer oue dollar anil eighteen cents a bushel for his wli^at.—Plan tation. * W hft is Old T*~A wine man will never mat out. As long as he can move or breathe he tviUj be doing something for himself, for h*is neigh bor, or for posterity'. Almost to the last liourof bis life, Washington was at work ; so wpre Howard, .Young, and, Newton. The vigor of their lives never decayed. No rjist marred their spirit*. fr is a foolish idea to suppose that we must lie down and die because we are ohl. Who is old f Not the man of energy; not the day laborer iii science, art, or be- uevolenee; but lie only who suffers liis energies bo waste a wav, and the spring of life to become motionless; ou whose hands the hours drag licav. ily, nml to whom all things wear the garb of gloom. “Is he old !” should not be asked ; but, “Is In* active f” “Can he breathe freely , find move with agility T” ^Tliere are scores of gray-headed men we should prefer, in any important enterprise, to young men who fear aud-tremble at approaching shadows, and torn pale at a harsh word or a frown, as at a lion in their path. Farming at tho South. Oue of the greatest errors ip Southern farming has becu resting tbo soil after it was woru out, that it may be reccqxrated by tho slow pro cess of the growth and decay of crop after cn»p of weeds. Better rest such land before it is exhausted by a crop of peas or other green crojis ploughed in; and save the years it will take to fertilize the soil by the scauty growth of weeds. The appli cation of very little farm-yard or special compost manure, with the aid of tbe atmosphere, will give a green crop, and if two such crops are nec essary to bring (lie land to a bearing fertility, it will save time and be more economical than to loose the use of the laud for a much longer pe riod, and theu have to inauure it be fore it will briug paying crops. As chemical manures are now in gene ral use among the cotton pluuters there is much complaint of their adulteratiou or failure to be well manufactured. The editor of the Southern Cultivator v says: “Our faith rests upou experience, and bit ter experience-it has becu. We have not Jiad au opportunity of examining rnauy of the so-called acid phos phates, but all we have seen were in ferior articles. They were made of Charleston phosphates; the material had not been groutul, sulphuric acid had ouly acted on the outer parts of the little lumps, and ouly a small l>art therefore of- the original phos phate had been changed into su|x$r- phosphate. Probably, too little water being present, a coating of plaster of Paris, generated by the ac tion of the acid, had set around each lamp and protected it from any fur ther action of the acid. Hence a good part of the acid present re maiued free.” He advocates com- lasting cotton seed with good super phosphate, as the free acid will aet on tbe hull of the seed and the whole kernel is brought into available con dition for. the food of plants; they should be composted together, the acid would then fix the ammonia aud none would be lost if a layer of muck or soil covers the heap. Another planter, discouraged with the commercial superphosphate he hail tried, substitutes the phosphate guano-, which be has fonnd to bold its phosphate of lime in a state really soluble when composted with other substances.—0. .V., Cor. Sew York World. SIMMONS' Sawdust The liOitdou Field, one of the high est authorities, says of sawdust: “I litter the horses on it to the depth of Bine inches, raking off the damp and soiled surface every morning, and spreading evenly a little fresh, re moving the whole four or five times a year. Its advantages appear to be many, of which I will state a few which give it, in my estimation, its greatest superiority over straw. It is much cleaner and more easily ar ranged ; and, of course, much cheap er at first coat, making in the end excellent manure. It is peculiarly beneficial to the feet, affording them a cool, porons stuffing, a substitute for the soil of earth we always find in tbe hoofs of a horse at grass, aud presents the nearest resemblance to the horses’ natural footing—the earth. We never had a diseased foot since the introduction of sawdust iu the stable, now some years siucc. Horses bedded on sawdust are also freer from ilusV nml stains than wlieu an ordinary litter, simply because sawdust is a better alisorbent, jx*r- liaps, and testify their approval of it by frequently lying down for hours in the day. It has also the recom mendation of being uneatable—an advantage which all iu oharge of horses with tbe habit of eating their litter will admit.” REGULATOR Thi* unrivalled Medicine is warranted not to contain a single particle of Mbb- cvrt, or any injurious mineral suliatance, hut is PURELY VEGETABLE For forty yean* it has proved its great value in all diseases of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys.
