<$e dictai m\t Souik?n WBDH"BSDAY,APBIL 29,1891. A SERMON ON MUD. Roads Would Make Lifo ia til? Covmtry Moen Pleasanter. lb s fong prayer ot & Wednesday even? ing Marting a lady addressed the Al? mighty, offering, as we are prone to do, vsfcrtous criticisms. Among the counts bs ber indictment was one upon which she arraigned Providence with great ?uv ti tty? It was that he saw fit to inflict upon the communty so much mud. Her words ran something like tins: 'lNo matter bow much I may clean, my house is continually tracked with mn?; my porches are kept in a filthy condition; my carpets are filled wi th dust that spoils them ?nd I can't keep my house neat ?F& nothing but mud, rand, rand P When fbe had finished several other of the arood artes present gave voice to fervent "Amens!" Bot before the meeting "was dismissed the pastor rose and remarked: "? cannot close- this meering: without saying that God is not responsible for the and. If there were no men there weald be-no rand, and there need he none even now that t?tere are men. Ia Portland, Ore^ where it rains six months in the r, there is no mud, for the simple that the men who live there know tense the intelligence God has given them in building good roads." That pastor was right. It is man and not God that makes the mod. The sooner the women whose Souses are kept in a filthy condition and whose bads always ache from constant but futile efforts to keep those booses tidy, realize this fact the sooner will tho remedy he applied. IT tito wives, instead of asking the Lord at the Wednesday night prayer meetings to dry np tho mud, would hold a little uniting ia the family sitting room every night, and preach a short sermon to their husbands on tho necessities of road im? provement and the evils of mud, results would soon begin to appear. The Lord ? thotc who help themselves! "grinded in" the carpets does mose to wear those carpets out than the a dozen generations of tiny And it wears out the patience and health of the housewife quicker than it does the carpets. She may sweep and brash and scrub until she sweeps holes in the carpets, scrubs the paint off the floors, and alas! sweeps and brushes and scrubs the bloom off her cheeks, the brightness out of her eyes and the hap out of her heart, but she will get that mud out of the carpet un? til she puts a shovel into her husband's bands and makes him go and use it on the roads, and by intelligent work strike ai tbe root of the evil by making them so laird and smooth that they won't gen? erate tho mud in the first place. - Har is the bouse the only place where mad engulfs the happiness of the farm era wife. She is as much interested ia its abolishment from the roads as she 5? in its cxflo from the parlor, and would be, even if the two were not connected try an endless ch run of footsteps. "For foax months in the year ii woman living in tae^ouutry-might as well be locked bi a prison with her family, so far as seeing new faces or having any social intercourse is concerned," said one. And jX is true. Who is the jailer? Mud. What x&nxtan, after a trying day's work at the countless things which keep the emiatiy housewife busy, would not be glad for an opportunity to drive to a neighbor ? or to an entertainment in the nearest village. It would certainly bc a welcome relaxation and a beneficial va riafrionof the grinding monotony of life in a> farm house kitchen. But what woman would not rather do without tho relaxa? tion and allow the monotony to go un? broken than to feel that when she asked ber busband to gratify her wish she was asking him to undertake a really formi? dable task. To ."harness jpM and drive for a mile or two on a pleasant spring evening over clean, hard roads would bo a pleasure to both husband and wife. But when tho _ roads aro so muddy that tho jaded horses can barely pull the wagon alon r: when with wry step the horses take their hoofs go splash into a river cf mud and tend blotches of it flying over eve rything in tba vicinity, including the people they are drawing with so much difficulty, and when a dii vc of a few miles means an boor or two on the road instead of a few minutes thea the experience is robbed of its pleasure. . The chances are that by the time the farmer and his wife have arrived at their destination they will be exasperated with tho roads, with themselves and with life. The con .ytrsation with host and hostess will be half hearted. When tho time comes to return home, and tho farmer thinks of tho half hour or hour he will have to spend rubbing the dirt off his horses before he eau go to bed, and the wife, moro tired than cheered by the visit, thinks of her life in a-sea of mod, it is moro than probable that they who re? ally love and honor each other will not try very hard to keep back the ill natured words suggested by their general depres? sion. Mud is a great promoter of family jars. But if' instead of quarreling wich each other because the roads were muddy, the farmer and his wife would logically look into the situation, they would soon see the real state of affairs. They would see that if the money and labor c.-pended on the roads to make them muddy were in? telligently applied, with the object in view of making them dry, the object coul<) *>e very- easily accomplished and the quarrels avoided. And they would see that not only would the quarrels be avoided, but that the farmer would be abie to haul more produce to market with fewer horses and less wear and tear on wagons and haroess: that the farm could be bette* worked with fewer men, and that it would therefore increase rapidly in value; that social evening calls and trips to the nearby village or city would be easy and pleasurable, instead of har? and tiresome. In short, they would see that good roads would change the whole complexion of life in the rural districts, and change it decidedly and undoubted? ly for tho better. And they would see, moreover, that the Portland preacher wa3 right when he saiof that theT/ord ?3 not responsible for the mud! EDWAKD MARSHALL. --mm- -e--? Electric Bitters.

Sold by J. ?. W. De Lorine. ll) Nitro Glycerine as a Eestor ative. Ooe of the most remarkable cases of . recovery has jast occurred here. One of our citizens has been soatohed from the very grasp of death. For several months W. H. Posey has been suffering f om a severe attack cf jaundice with other troublesome c tri? plications He grew worse and woree until his friends "lost all hope of recov ! ery. His brother Dr. Posey was sent j for. Indiscretion io diet brought on convulsions and to all appearance be di id. Hb breathing ceased, his pulse stopped, and bis brother turned away and said it is all over. Then Dr. Hill proposed to inject nitro glycerine into bis arm. If he I waa dead it could do no good. He did so, and in a few minutes the heart began again to beat, the lungs to respire and the pulse to throb, and he was again a live man. The jaundice is now under control and there is every pros? pect of Mr. Posey 's recovery. - Of course the nitro glycerine could not arrest death under all circumstan ces. In this case the cause of death was heart failure, and the powerful medicine restored ita adtic-2. But for this Mr. Posey would DOW be a dead man Those who were present say it was wonderful. Dr. Hill has used it once before. When old Mr Tuttle was so ill, Dr. Hill gave b:m np for dead. Every breath seemed b s ?a-t, wi en Dr. Hill thought of the nitro glycerine and injected, it into bis ar n. T?e effect wa^ electrical. Mr. Tuttle came back to life, and lived five days longer, and might have yet have been alive with thc help of nitro glycer? ine, but that death came from other d's ase with which the heart bad nothing to do. His success there prompted him to try it on Mr. Posey, with the most gratifying results. Spartanhurg Herald Smoking to Death. There are multitudes of young men smoking themselves to d. at h. Nervous, cadavarous. narrow chested and fidgety, they are preparing for early departure or a half existence that will be of little satisfaction to themselves or little use to others. Q itt it, my brother. Be? fore you get through this life you will want s out nerves and a broad chest and a brain unclouded with tobacco smoke. To get rid of the habit will require a struggle, as I know by bitter experience. Cigars and midnight study nearly put an end to my existence at twenty-five years of age. I got so I could do no kind of study without a cigar in my mouth-as complete a slave was I as j some of you are. About to change pastorates from one city to another, a wholesale dealer offered as an induce? ment to my going to Philadelphia that he would give me all my cigars, and j the best cigars io the couotry free of charge all the rest of my life. He was a splendid man. and I knew be would keep his promise. Then I reasoned thus ; If now, when my salary is small and cigars are high, ? smoke up to my full endurance, whot would become of my health if I got ail of my cigars f r nothing? Well. I have never touched the infernal weed pince From that time I was revolutionized in health and mind, emancipated by the grace of God. I implore young men to strike out for the liberation of their entire nature from all kinds of evil habits. I see that now In cur elevated railroads they have introduced that pig pen on wheels, the smoking-car, and it is being ??ade easier and easier ali the time to sacri? fice physical health. All those who break down their health through in? dulgence and go into graves soouer than they would otberwi-e hive gone are suicides, and the day of judgment will so reveal st- T De Witt Talmage As men get older they think more of their parents We have a venerable friend, whose head is white with the frosts of seventy five winters, and who tell us that hts mother, though fifty years in heaven, is present to his mind every day of his life. From facts like these, let mothers take comfort. Their work is not in vain. The rough, strong boys, who seem to give no heed to counsel now, will be reflecting meo after awhile ; and the truths that are sown in their hearts will bear abundant harvest in due season.-Nashville Ad? vocate.
