THE UPPER CLAbt?EiS. WHAT HARD TIMES TEACH THOSE WHO ARE ABWE Ptf^TY,. A ffejjjjini by ste?. Dsaid Swing; of Clsfoago. Tl ?ami 11 il? i f ffjjjn?? if jr?m Each IndtYidu&L What the Pli?o^pfcr of Wealth Shocld ?laired of thee,-Luke xii, 20. In the Greek Testament this utter ance is found, "This night they Trill ask of thee thy soul?'* It reads as though the haman race and nature were the persons who would come to the sich man and ask for his final account. Our translation intimates that God asks for this account from the boasting man, ont in the early text itw&s some hid? den persons who had a right to demand *a settlement. The account ran far back and took in those years in which -the successful man had added wealth to wealth and had been making great pic? tures of future feasting: and all luxury. The paseesure- of this, msioi innate win? ter may help ns to se?^f the more clearly the best philosophy of the up? per class. What should have been and should be the economy of the humbler laborers is easily seen. They ought.to economy-but the year that comes with a leeson to the poor has its lesson also for all who are above poverty. The fact of being above the bondage of those.:, who live only hy the wages of the day. implies a life that has many leismr?;' hoars and that possesses a largetm^na ; in viricb/personal fitieir^jSayii^^ itself/ Thegreater the wealth of a cit? izen the greater his 'arena of liberty. The larger part of the world's learning and education ia possessed |g| those who have escaped the slavery ot living-only, by the toil of the day. Education and culture do often come to the man who is indeed poor, bot the publie mass of intelligence and menial power follows the stream of property, lt costs some? thing to secure mental development, and therefore the development comes to those who can pay the cost. Tbe moe ey need not ho vast in bulk, for cuitare is not high in price. LESSONS OF LIFE. For the ase oLthis educated and up? per class ev ?ry year o? financial distress comes wiri leesons of life-lessons hidden by the rico foliage of success. As rich masses of ivy often hide a grace? ful arch pr a noble column, so years of great snccess conceal the best philoso? phy of educated men and women. ' *As the tropica make living so simple that nobody there is driven to any deep study of soda! problems, so great success long prevailing in the temperate zones makes society prize its pleasure more than it prizes truth and principle. Were it not for night, the poets say .we should never see any stars. Thus the great financial clouds make visible many a principle' which the noon of Success had conceal? ed. It is in such night the voice comes, "They are asking of thee thy seal." We do not know who composed this word?4they ** hut we feel the strange power of the question. Nearly allr* of tbe greatest living minds have lived each day a few hours of solitude. . It was necessary to get away from society thai they might the better measure it Thus close ?mes make a solitude. They lead man fiom the noisy palace to tibe secluded cabin and there leave him to his thoughts. The new scene ought not to be terrible; it ought to be sweet and beautiful. The man who composed "Ossian" knevr well the worth of this hour of isolation, . for in a good and long poem he asks some hermit to invite him to his cave that the tumultuous life of England' and Scotland may pe far away; Society is asking of each man his soul. It does not want pim to say ; Soul, thou hast much goods laid np for many years; take thine ease; eat, drink and he merry. It would much prefer that the fortunate owner of a soul > should be busy over a different kind-of daybook and ledger. Many millions will live simply in these months-some, that they may live > at all; others, that they may give much to the poor. It ian happy day for man when he is driven or led into simplicity. It -is a law of all the arts never to do more than is required; The classic architecture is making its long journey partly ty the help of simplicity. It bas just the power, just the beauty, the cen? turies and ages all love. Nobody cares to add or subtract. It is the highly ex? cessive that soon dies. In oratory and literature few qualities are more fatal than verbosity. AU the world says, Why does the man use five words when one will suffice? All the. great litera? ture comes to us like the Greek col? umn, with nothing one dares take away. There are enough leaves on the top of the Corinthian column, there is just scroll enough on the Ionic. .Soin great literature there are no words to be erased, for all these men of genius knew the eternal charm of simplicity. THE USELESS LAID ASIDE. A student and a lover of the Ameri? can red man says that the squaws did not make those great bead mantles for the warriors to wear. No Indian would attempt to run or walk with a half hundred pounds of Deads and stuff on his shoulders. Those wonderful fabrics are made to sell to tho big eyed and credulous white mail. Often tremendous decorations are worn by a chief who H not going to run or walk, hut only to sit down. Society in ita high life thus flings aside the useless, and when it is out on a thousand year march it moves in simplicity. It says to the soul: Simplicity will be required of thee. Nobody will wear your bushel of beads. The same universe that requires a ?imple form of beauty asks man to live upon simple food and drink. We may wonder what objection nature had to j rich and daily feastings. We may go so far as to think nature very penurious j that it should want the tables of earth j set off with bread and water. But j think what we please, nature has pass? ed a decree from which there is no ap peal. Han's table must be simple or he will live miserably and die soon, j What a blessed thing it would be 1 shc?lCI some stress o7 Tainncney inarki compel us all to live on simple fare fe . arc months I The buoyancy of the hear and the lightness of foot, and the cole on the cheek -would be quite a reveh tion to the upper million. * Simplicit in dining has become a kind of lost an Many have forgotten what a partialit nature has for alight meal. Could mc>deraite calamity compel y?u all t live lor six months-like a Scotch pea* ant you would wonder ai last what ha become of your diseases and sorrows. That nation which beyond all other studied the graces and the divinity of th human mind and body and which lai? the deep bases of " modern civilizado! dreaded all overloading the body wit] food and drink. The perfect man had ; perfect, simple diet The question wa never how much can I eat, but ho\ much ought I to eat? The Platonic an? Socratic school made a simple diet th companion and cause of the best men tal power. The great Americans won der how much; the great Greeks won dered how little. OPPORTUNITY FOR CULTURE. That absence of money that will com form of life will awaken the intellec and make it go back to the long neg lected book. What the table puts asid< of luxury the book resumes. The sou when educated and not oppressed bj excessive foodw excessive work break out in some form of joy. Excessive work is almost as bad a foe as excessiv( food or excessive drink. It is a slaved burden. The !>ird can fly, but it can ; not carry *i.uch of a load. The barf can sound sweetly, bot not if a bea vj table or a heavy hand is resting upoi i its'&rrngs. -Noah's dove brought ai olive leaf, not a whole tree. Thoo tn* mind, however highly educated, must not "be loaded, heavily with food 01 SBrin? or work. When thus set fr? 'from bondage, it will break out in some form of happiness. Its books, its music, its art, its friendship and its religion xviii all become pearls or gems. The Creator made man for a long life, a healthy life, a busy life, and a happy life, and these terms exclude the thought ox being an abject slave to any thing. Labor must not break the heart. Tho heart must find hours of rest and change in the world's great variety. When business is at a low ebb, then let the mind and soul come to tho front., Let the slaves of business go free. A pecuniary Ices may be a mental gain. in agriculture a long drought which ruins a harvest enriches the soul. a Tho moisture being all drawn from the .fields, the san's heat and light enter the more deeply into all the vacant pores, and the ground is all revitalized by the sun's amazing chemistry. In times of financial distress the dis? eases of society are the more easily studied, because they become more vis? ible. With millions of the poorest classes now prostrate, the student can perceive the destructiveness of the sa? loon, and of extravagance, and all the improvidence of ignorance and vice. As one must go to Molokai to see the lep? rosy in all its terrors and repulsiveness, go where the victims from many is? lands have been gathered, so if one will in the midst of an oppressive winter move among the homeless and'food less he will^see the diseases that take down tile human body and the human mind ; will see the sorrows that com e from the imperfect state and the other sorrows that come from tba individual alone; will SOO that charity must join bread and shelter to work. When men be? come so degraded that they wculd rath? er beg than work, it is high time for the physicians tobe called in to act up? on such disease. We must oifer work to the well men and women, because work is the law of health and honor. Beggary from choice is a leprosy that eats up the intellect and heart. Society must create manhood, for in manhood and Godhood society lives? moves and has its being. - NOT THE MAN, BUT HIS WORKS. The upper class can easily mark now its relation to civilization. It creates and improves humanity. A republic is composed of the thoughts and con? duct of a vast throng of rational per? sons. A despotism is a stats that is created not by principles, but by the mind of a person. Henry VHI behead? ed a number of women. He was him? self a complete outfit of law, judge and executing. By degrees the thinking people^roncluded that women or men should be put to death only in obedi? ence to some eternal principle of right and evidence. Thus on the American shore the peculiar person like Henry Viii was excused from crown and throne that some eternal principles might reign in his stead. A person may easily make mistakes or be a willful transgressor. Even Lord Bacon was a j mean man and a criminal. The state must therefore repose not upon a man, but upon ideas. Euclid, the geometer, might have become a drunkard or a thief, but his geometry could not be? come intoxicated nor suffer any degra? dation. Its definitions and propositions were for all time. They were not the ideas of Henry Viii, but of all human? ity. Thus came the word republic* "res publica"-a truth drawn from all men of all times. The idiosyncrasies of a Harrison or a Cleveland are rendered harmless by the thought of the state. The millions living and dead eclipse the man. The attar of roses is not much like a rose. You can pluck the flower with your band. You can note its delicate leaves, colors and matchless grace, but in the attar all this individuality is lost, and yet into that costly essence whole fields of blossoms betook themselves. The scattered sweetness of wide acres floated into a little china vase. As in j the opening pages of "The Arabian j Nights" there is a magic ball on a sea? shore into which a great luminous cloud, falling down from the sky, has? tens and hides itself, thus the cloud of ! rose leaves, color and perfume passes from the individual bloom into an es- j sence and exchanges a field for a vase, j < What the rose lacks afterward of indi- ! ; vidualism it makes up in immortality. As an individual rose it would soon i ? fad?*. The autumn would smite it, the j ? snow bury it, butin its vase-its heaven ] i -^?? ever T?vls. Thus the state is the holy vase, to which these living hnman roses have tended and ought to tend. The vast numbers that opened in 1776 and the myriads born of all the summer times in the hundred years since then have taken refuge in our nation, where no storm nor winter can touch their beauty. NOT TO HIMSELF ALONE. Thus the individuals make the pub? lic, and beyond the public the state. When the individual reads a good book, he reads not for his own pleasure and benefit alone, but; also for the welfare of humanity. Humanity becomes grea t? er when i% individuals ail read and think. Thus each good thinker, each good artist, colors his times. His fame becomes the fame of his country, be? cause from him the country has drawn life and power. Education is not a blessing to you only, but to your epoch. It helps make the color of those gor? geous clouds which in the morning and evening' lie upon the horizon of the country, i Among the inspiring scenes of this city in the year just closing is to be placed hilf h that picture of men giving millions of money for the public ad? vancement inv taste ?nd knowledge. Across the threshold of great colleges, great libraries; a great institute of art and a great museum of all arts and sci? ences, millions of feet will pass in these years and in those faraway. In the face of financial distress this pouring out of money has been perennial because hu- j man need runs all the year through, i The individual having only a brief life { to iivecannot wait for the tide of trade to rise to a flood height He must think ail money ills temporary and humanity lasting. Putting his hand to the plow? he does not look back, but he looks for? ward into that great field where the ' farrow is to be made and the fu- \ tare wheat is to blossom. Those men Who have given $1,000, OOO*-^ch, or $100,000 or $200,000 or $300,000 each, could not wait for prosperous days to come, because in each human heart are the sounding words of Lincoln's poet: The leaves of the oak and the wi How shall fade. Lie scattered around or together be laid. FOOTPRINTS OF MANKIND. ? As noble citizens run on in advance of their cemetry and discover and illus? trate the principles which ought to be? come laws, as the nation is only the path wbich noble citizens have worn with their li ving footsteps, sb our Chris? tian religion ia in ade tip X)t the whole volume of individual minds. What the nation is to man as a social being religion is to man as the child of a God. The church did not make, it only received. In these late years ideas de? cline tn number because many of the old notions were not elaborated from human need or logic. They were not the paths of mankind. They were the scattered footprints of some man who was wandering or lost. When one comes upon such doctrines as these-re? pentance, reform, righteousness, love,. prayer, faith and hope-1 one finds no simple footprints of a pope, or a secta? rian, but the great avenues beaten down by our race. At first, as in our Old Testament, a few explorers ian on in advance, these a Whole army followed. Tribe joined tribe, nation nation, and epoch added to epoch, until at last the doctrines or paths were confessed to be those of humanity. In the church, in Christianity, these millions of individ? uals are all stored away, their bones, dust, their doctrines, everlasting. Southeast of our city a few miles there is an island on the land in the level sea of grass. v Old currents which once moved down from the north car? rying rocks and vast masses of h?ls and mountains of ice and stone pushed'up this heap of earth and made it long and wide and high. Trees, grass and flow? ers cover it, but its hidden mass tells the story of the old tumult. Thus the noble doctrines of religion tell us how the human flood ran and with what power pressed upon the ideas that came in its way. Repentance is made up of j human tears; righteousness out of honor; love out of the divinity in man; prayer, faith and hope out of an endless logic and experience.* The more the individuals of our age advance the more rich does religion be? come in their presence. Did the mid? dle ages see the value of education as we see it? In l ater times fashionable women did not desire to read or write. In In? dia only a small minority of women can read or write. Thus neither pagan? ism nor Christianity cared much for the intellect of woman or man. Our greater age is pouring greater meaning into religion. As political ideas fall from the people into the state and change the despotism of the twelfth cen- j tury into the republic of the nineteenth, thus new moral ideas are falling into Christianity, making its old neglect turn into an infinite love. Each, human being who is now living an intelligent Christian life, in full accord with the mighty music of his age, is making j new doctrines for his children. He need j not speak aloud ; he need not possess fame or seek it. He sinks into his cen- I tury and helps compose it. The drops j that make a rainbow are not conscious of the arch they are weaving. They are not seeking fame. They are only fall? ing to the flowers through a sunbeam. Thus the modern eon!, when living well, simply, in wisdom like a philos? opher, in love and virtue like a Christ, falls through a sunbeam and helps make a sublime picture on the massive | state and church. Such a soul can any day or night render its account. When God and society require it, they do not find it enlarging its barns for grain and laying plans for larger vices; they find it enlarging the institutions of human ? welfare and deeply inspired by dreams Df God's glory and man's blessedness. The Coiffure. There is good news. The stiff, heavy j chignon and the bobbing ringlets of long j ago are not to be reinstated during the j coming season. Women have finally j protested. The general effect of the I coiffure will be loose, wavy and grace? ful. Simplicity is to be the keynote of j the everyday styles. For evening more j elaborate coiffures are attempted, where j puffs reign and every strand of hair ends ; in a curl.-Exchange. Another Railroad to be B Into Columbia j ? ? A Direct Air Line From the Tai Valley R. R. State Jan. 14. ! The one thing needed to make I um bia the greatest railroad centre the Sooth, aod make this city on main line of the shortest possible n from North to South, is about transpire, and it will be a happy for this city, which now seems t< on the very eve of entering upon long desired and long awaited era prosperity. i ? well authenticated report reac ; some prominent gentlemen in Col bia last night that the new owner the Cape Fear and Yadkin Ya Railroad were now arranging to b their road on from its present tel j ons into Columbia, and would bc the work at au early date Those \ j have information on the subject 1 are very reserved about talking a bou beyond confirming the report. At first blush the man who is thoroughly acquainted with the work of railroads leading towards South from the Virginia border, wo "not see mach io the annooncem : that this road'was going to build i Columbia, to cause great delight. ] it simply means that if this road built to this point au air line will established that will annihilate much distance in the line from No to Sooth as did the Sooth Bound rc aod ?be extension of the Florida Ct tral and. Peninsular road between t city and Savannah, and Savannah a Jackson ville respectively. The important portion of the rc runs from Smithfield, N. C., via Ft I etteville, .N. C., crosses the Carol] I Central, a portion of the Seaboard I Line system, at Shoe Heel, just acn the North Carolina Hoe, and runni thence to the terminus at Bennet ville, the whole making a direct air Iii Now the proposed extension ? continue on an air line from Bennet ville to Columbia, passing thron Marlboro, the southern portion of Ch terfie ld or northern portion of Dar li o ton counties, by Camden and theo straight into Columbia-a dis tao from Bennettaville to Colombia scarcely more than ninety miles. ? present it is well known that tbrouj travel has to come around either 1 Greensboro and Charlottte, making long detour, or else from Wi ?soo, I ! C., via the short cot to Florence ai thence into Colombia via the Coa Liue making another lengthy detoi to get ioto Columbia. At present tl through trains of the Coast Line sy tem make a much greater detour get Southern connections, going v Charleston to get to Savannah. No if this connecting link is put in, mil? upon miles will be cut off by both tl New Short Line and the Coast Lit system. The road runs into Green boro from Fayetteville, and at that poii all R&D. through travel could I diverted over the shorter line. The again this road runs into Raleigh o a direct line from Smithfield, an through business could be thrown o tbe R. & D. main line at' that poin right on into the North. With the Coast Line connectio could be make at Wilson, and th trains could be diverted for throng business there, giving a much aborte line provided the Coast Line peopl take a shorter route from Columbi; on dowo. By brioging the througl trains by Columbia miles and mile of travel could be savad. This is per haps the secret of the extension o this road from Bennettsville into Co lumbia It is either that or the R. & D. and F. C. & P. people intend t< make their new short line shorter bj many miles, and carry trains througl from New York to Jacksonville and other points in a much shorter time thau the most vivid fancy every pic? tured. No matter which of these schemes may be at the bottom of the. building of this road into Columbia, this city is bound to be made the finest rail? road centre, to bc found, and a section of the State heretofore undeveloped will be developed to its fullest extent. In any event too, the distance from North LO South is certain to be great? ly reduced, and every one in this State will welcome the coming of the new road with the happiest expectations ----.??.-^ He Knows a Good Thing. Once upon a time, as the story tellers say, a workman fell from a ladder, and lay stunned and speech? less upon the pavement below. Soon a crowd gathered around the prostrate man, and one after another suggested things to .be done which as usual each one waited for some? body else to do. Presently a man pushed his way through the crowd, and after looking at the unconscious man, said, "left him up and pour a stiff drink of whiskey down* him " Instantly the heretofore unconscious man opened his eyes, and looking appreciatively at the speaker, ex? claimed, "Now, that man knows what's good for a fall." ? The other day Rev. W. G. Starr, pastor of the Washington Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Peters? burg, Va., in his Christmas sermon us? ed this language : "I pity the man who is not able to take a newspaper, for i t is the duty of every citizen to read ?he news of the day." Dr. Starr is said to i be one of the most eloquent ministers in the Southern Methodist Church1 and his eloquence is evidently supplemented by a large amount of j common sense.-Augusta Chronicle.
