Ami ho said unto his father, ray head, my head! And ho said to a lad. carry him to his mother. And when ho had takon him and brought him to Ids mother ho sat on her knoos till noon, and then died."? II KinKs lv.. 18, 19. '2d. Thorn is ih least one happy homo in Shu- | nnm. To I.. ' ...u .. Auimuco ami splendor of a grent house hud been given tlie ml vent of a child. Even when the Angel of "Life brings a new soul to tho poor man's hut. a star of joy shines over tho manger. Infancy, with its helplessness anil innocence, had parsed away. Days of boyhood had come?days of laughtor and frolic, dnys of sunshine and promise, dnys of strange questions and curiosity and quick development. I suppose among all the treasures of tho house the brightest wns the boy. Ono day tliero is the shout of reapers heard nlleld. A hoy's heart always bounds at tho sound of 9icklo or scythe. No sooner have tho harvesters 4 cut a swath ncros? tho fluid than tho lad joins them, and fuo swathy reapers fuel young again as they look down at that lad, as young and beautiful as was Ruth in the harvrst Holds of Bothlehem gleaning after tho reapers. But tho sun was too hot for htm. Congestion of tho brain seized on him. I sec the swarthy laborers drop their sickles; and they rush out to see what Is tho matter, and they fan him and thoy try to coot liis brow; but all is of uo avail, lu the instant of consciousness, he puts his hands against his temples and cries out: '-My head! my head!" And the father said: "Carry him to his mother." just as any father would have said: for our hand is too rough, and our voice is too harsh, and our foot is too loud to doctor a sick child, if there bo in our home a gentler voice una a gentlor band and a stiller footstep. Hut all of no avail. While the reapers of Khunom | were lnisv in 11"? 0..1.1 ? ..irr'rniaoa stronger I reaper that way, with keener scythe ami for ' a dehor harvest. Ho reaped only odo slioaf. but ob, what a golden slioaf was" that! I do not want to know any more about that heart breaking scene than what 1 see in just this nun pathetic sentence: "Ho sat on her knees till noon, anil Ihon tlioil." Though hundreds I of years have passed away since that hoy skipped to the harvest-lleid and then was brought home and died on his mother's lap. lhe story gtl'.l thrill" >" i*".'.::.!', uus 31 cfia ,ui uitvuy? anil ov.--3 . Tshall! now speak to you of childhood: its beauty, iis susceptibility p, impression, its power ovor tl>* parental Iteatt, and its b.issfttl lfC.Tisttion from earth to heaven. The ohtld's beauty does not depend upon! form or feature or romp'exion or apparel. I That destitute one that you saw on the | street, bruised with unkiudncss and in rags, i has a charm about her, even under her UC3* | titutiou. Yen have forgotten a great many i persons whom you met,of llnelveut features and with erect posture and with iaultJess ' complexion. while you will always rcrueui- ! ber the poor girl who, on a eo d. moonlight night, as you were passing late home, in her thin shawl and barefoot on the pavement, put out her hand and said "Please to give i mo a penny." Ah' how nflen we have i walked on and said: "Oil, that is nothing but street vagabondism;" but after we got a block or two on, we stopped and said: "Ah. that is not right;" and we passed up tiiat same way nud dropped a mite into that suf- j fering hand, as though it were not a matter j of second thought, so ashamed were we of J our hard henrtedness. With what admira- j tiou wo all look upon a group of children i on the play ground or in the school, audi wo clap our hands ijbnost involun- j tarilv, and say: "How beautiful!" Al? > stiffness and dignity are gone, and I your shout is heard with theirs and | you trundle their hoop, and ily I their kite, and strike iheir ball, ami all your j weariness and anxiety are gone as when a i child you hounded over tho playground I yourself. That father who stands rigid and ! unsympathetic amid tho sport fulness of oliil- ! dren, < light nevor to have I cen tempted out ! of a crusty and unrodeenuible solitariness 1 Tho waters leap down the rocks, but tbev ; have not tho grneoful step of ehildbo .>l. ; The morning comes of the gates ?>f tinEast, throwing its silver on "the lake uinl il> ( gold on tho towers and its tiro on the clou.I but it is not so bright and beautiful as the j morning of life! There is no light like that which is kindled in a child's eye, dor like that which blooms on a child's cheek, no music liko the sound of a child's voice. Its faeo in the poorei picture redeems any > imperfection in art. When we are we.irv with toil, their little hands pull the burden- I off our hack. Oh, what a dit'l, slab-, mean ' World this would bo without tin- sport sullies* of children. When I find pontile that : do not like children, I immediately doubt . tlioir moral and Christian character. i?ui when the grace of ilod conies neon a child. I how iinspeakahly attractive. When Samuel j I,....:..... " 111 prnv, a;i'i innolliv licgins io r< a I the Scriptures, and Joseph simwi Silix-clf I invulnerable to temptation -how beautift'.l 1 the scene! I know that parents sometimes I got nervous whan their children bee cue j pious, because they have the id?'a that ;.mo i children always die. Tlx* strange questions about God and eternity and the dead, excite apprehension in the parental mind rather than congratulation. Indued, there are some people that seem marked for heaven. Tills world is too poor a garden for them to bloom in. The hues of heaven are in the petal*. There Is something about their forehead that makes you think that the hand of Christ has been on it. raying: "Let this one come to Me, and let it come to Me soon." While that one tarried ill the house you felt there was au angel in the room, and you thought that evjry sickness would be the J last; and when, finally, the winds of death did scatter tho leaves, you were no more surprised thun to see a star come out above the loud on a dark night; for you hid often said to your companion: "My dear, we shall never raise that child." But I scout the idea that goad children always die. SSnmuel the pious hoy, became Samuel the great prophet, Chriatnin Timothy became a minister at Ephesiis. Young Daniel, consecrated to God, became prime minister of all the realm, and there are in hundreds of the schools and families of this country to-day children who love God and keep Ifis commandments, and who are to be foremost among iho Christians and the philanthropists and the reformers of the next century. Phe grace of God never kills nnyot-o A child will tie mere apt to grow up with religion than it will be apt to grow up without it. Length of days is promised totho righteous. The religion of Christ toes not cramp tile chest or curve the spine or weaken the nerves. There are no malarias flouting up from tli" rivor of life.

Tho liomo and the school decide tho ropublie or tho despot- n ism: tho barbarism or tho civilisation; tho | upbuilding of an oinpiro, or tho overthrowing of it.

There were some harvesters in tlio fields of c Scotland one hot day; and Hannah Lemond n was helping them gather tlte liny. She laid J her babe under a tree. While she was liusy In tho Hold, thoro was a flutter of wings in , tllA ill r nrwl n 1.1..........1?-O.. ?,1 . 1 1 ll dling band of tho babe, ami flew away with t! it to the mountain eyrie. All tlie harvesters ami Hannah Lomond started for tho cliffs. . It was two miles beforo tlioy came to the -1 foot of the cliffs. Getting thore, who dared to mount the cliffs? No human foot had ever trod it. Thore were sailors thore who y had gone up tho mast In the day of terrible ' temped: they did not daro risk it." Hannah ?> Letnoud sat there for a while and looked np lj uud saw the eagle in the eyrie, and then y she leaped to her feet. and she started up where no humnn foot had ever c trod, crag abovo crag, catching hold of this I root or that root, until she reached the .j oyrie and caught her babe, the t-uglo swooping in IWeonrss all around about her. ? Fastening the cliil I to her back, she sturtod 1 for her friends and for home. Oh. what a n dizzy descent! sliding from tills crag to that ^ crag, catciiing by that vino anil by that root, coming down further and further, to the most dangerous pass, where she found a |i goat and some kids. She said: "Now I'll n follow the goal; tho goat will know just which is the safest way down;" and she was F led by tho anima" down to tho plain. When ^ she got there, all tho people cried: "Thank 1< God! thauk God!" her strength not giving ai way until the rcseuo was effected. And they cried: "Stand back, now. Give lior air!" Oh, if a woman will do that for the physical B' life of Iter child, what will you do for tho 0 eternal life of your boy and your gir<? Get it not be told in tho great day of eternity that Hannah Lemond put forth morn exertion for the saving of the physical life of fj her child than you. O parent, have over put forth for the eternal life of your little one. God help yon! I 9 on to consider the power which a it eiiinl wields over the parental heart.

WKATMKK-VKOP HI'IjLKTIN L>f the South Curollmi Climate nut Crop Service. There was little change iu crop con iftions as compared with the previous week, but the tendeucy was still down' ward. While the heat had moderatei to about normal for a portion of th< week, the otbor adverse couditiou, lronght, became intousified. The ef tacts of the Yather copious rainfall o! he .previous week wero scarcely noticeable, especially ol. tko principal jrops, and it is the general opinion o! the correspondents of this servico tlia ;otton is too nearly matured to bo ben ifited by rain, should it come soon, ti the extent of startiug new growth Late corn has also passed the stag< shore rain would benelit it. Other crops, forage and root, wouli t>o greatly helped by ruin and coole: weather. Tho last of the late fodder is bcinf pulled from corn in the "up counties,' ind this work is practically liuished it other portions of the State. it is now possible to gain a fair esti mate of this year's corn crop, am most reports would indicate a ful iverago crop. This applies without qualification to the enrly corn, bui late corn is not 60 uniform in con lition. In localities it is a coinplet< failure and a partial fniluro in others, raking late and early corn together, md including all sections of tho State, the yield will fall considerably below in average. Tho first fodder wai saved in excellent condition, but thai being pulled now is dried and burned 5r fired. All tho reports on cotton for the pnsl wreck would indicate a decline in coalition, although not a marked or deeded ono. In a few localities a fresh jning up of the plnut, with a show of darting new growth is noticed, due tc the rains of the previous week, but at i rale the*o is no promise of any topjrop. Cotton continues to open very fast, and picking was very active ovei the entire State. A remarkably lattro nrounrtinn ?-?f il>?> Iw.lli ire open even after nllow ince is made for the cnrliuesi tbo season. Blooms are now i rarity in many fields, where in ordi nary years thero is a profusion at u jorrcsponeing date. This gives emphasis to the reports from nil portion; nf the State varying in expression but bearing tho same tenor, that cotton has done all it will do and that rnic would do very little good. Thero art niauy reports of dwurfed bolls, and premature opening, and correspond ents, without exception, forecast r short crop. Sea Island cotton con tinucB to fruit and iM doing fairly wcl although there are complaiuts of shed ding. The first bag of Sea Island cot ton was received in Charlotte lust week Rico harvest continues under veri favorable weather conditions and tht reports from all rice sections iudicatt a satisfactory crop. Peas have not done well owing t< the heat and dryness, although thei condition varies greatly in diflercn localities. Tobacco curing is nearly finishei and while tho crop was well up to ai average in quantity the quality wai inferior. In portions of Florenco to bacco is left standing in tho lields ai it win not pay to cure it. Sugar cane and Borgbum, while ii appearance a liuo crop, are drying uj and promise very ltitle sap.
