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

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.

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?
