THE lUtO -KLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SER MON. M«il>jt»et: "WomJiii'a 4»p;»orluiilt>-.* TKXT : " So G(*l created man in Ilis own imaqr, the image at (1»I created He. him : mate an'! female created He them." —Genesis i, 27. In other words, God, who can make no mistake, made man and woman for a i specific work, and to move id practicu- j lar spheres— uian to be regnant in his j realm ; woman to bo dominant in hers, j The boundary lino betwean Italy and' Switzerland, between England and Scot land, is not more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculino and the empire feminine. So 0 entirely dissimilar arc the fields to which God called them, tint you can no tuore compare them than you can oxygen und hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the supcrtor -1 ity of one sex to the other sex is an ev erlasting waste of ink and speech. A jcwulcr may have a scale so delicate that lie can weigh the. dust ofdiaiuouds; f but where are the scales so delicate that he cau weigh in them affection against alTjction, sentiment against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a uian's woild against a woman's world. You come out with your stero typed remark, the man is superior to woman in intellect; and theu I open on •Jiy desk tho swarthy, iron-typed thun durboltcd wiitings of Harrctt Martineau - aud Elizabeth Browning aud George Elliot. Y'ou coicc 011 with youi stereo typed remark about woman's suponoti to uian iu the item of atl'cctiou ; but 1 ask you where was there more capacity to love than in .Joliu tho Disciple, aud Robert McChcyno, tho Scotchman, and Johu Sumuicrfield tho Methodist, aud Henry Martin 'bo missionary 1 Tho hetirtof those men was so largo that af ter you had rolled into it two hemis pheres thcro was room still left to marshal tho host of heaven and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah, i deny to man the throne intellectual. I • deny to woman the throne afi'ectioual. No human phraseology will ever define the spheres while thcro is an intuition by , which we know when a man is in his . realm, and wheu a woman is iu her roahu B and when either of tlicrn is out of it. No u bungling legislature ought to attempt f to make dcli'iuilion, or to say : "This is . the line and that is tho lino." My the ory is that if a woman wants to vote she ought to vote, and that if a man wauts to embroider and keep house, hu ought to bo allowed to embroider aud keep 1 house. There nro masculine womeu and I thcro aro cfieu'inato uicn. My theory is, 1 that you have no right to interfere whith any onu's doing anything that is right ) oous. Albany and Washington might , as well decree by legislation how high a brown-thrasher should fly, or how deep a trout should plunge, as to try to seek out the height or the depth of woman's duty. The question of capacity will Rcttle finally tho whole question, the whole lubjeet. When a woman is pro pared to preach, sho will preach, and neither Conference nor Presbytery can hinder her. When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial spheres sho will have groat influence on tho Ex change, and no boards ot trade can hin : dcr her 1 want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any 3 barrier that politicians may set up, aud that nothing can keep her back or keep liftr down but the question of incapacity. There are women, I know, of most ' undesirable nature, who wander up and s down the country—having no homes of their own, or forsaking their owu hornet talking about their rights, and wo know " very well tiia*. thej th- tu-clves arc fit neither to vote nor fit to keep house. Their m'.ssioii seems to be to humiliate i tlio two sexes at the thought "f what any one of ua uiiglU become. No one I I would want to live under the laws that such women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such ! woman would raiso. But 1 shall show ! you this morning that the best rights j thut ivotnau can own, she already has in her possession; that her position in this I country at this time is not on! of com miseration, but one of eonghtiiLition ; that the grandeur and *T V.r realm I have liovcr yet been she cits to-day on a tfitotie so *igh, that i all the thrones of earth piled on top of 1 each other would not make for her a j footstool. Here is tho platform on ! which she stands. Away down below I it are tho ballot-box and the Congress ional assemblage and the Legislative i hall. Woman always has voted and al ! ways will vote. Our great grandfath. | ers thought they were by their votes ] putting Washington iuto the prcsiuen i tial chair. No. His mother, by the principles sho taught him, and b/ the | lubiis she inculcated, made him I'resi j dent. It was a Christian mother's hand I dropping tho ballot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophized, and Alfred the Great govcruod, and Jona than Edwards thundered of judgment to come, iiow many men there have been j in high political nation who would have | been insufficient to stand the tc:t to j which their moral principle was hut lrid |it not been for a wife's voice that en couraged them to do right, and a wife's j prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisanship! Why, uiy I friends, the right of sufterage, as wo men exercise it, sacms to bo a feeble thing. Y'ou, a Christian man, come tip to tiic ballot-box and you drop your vote. Right after you conies a libertine, or a sot—the oflscouring ol the street—and he drops his vote ; And his vote coun teracts yours. But if iu the quiet of | homo life a dauthcr by her Christian demeanor, a wifo by her industry, a mother by her faithfulness, ta .-.s a votn 1 in the right direction, then nothing cau resist it, und the iuflucnee of that vote will throb through the eternities My chief anxiety then is, not that womau have other rights aocorded her : but 'hat she, by tho grace of God, rise up to the appreciation of the glorious rights sho already possesses. This morning I shall only only have time to speak of ouo grand and all-absorbing itglit that every woman has and that is to make home happy. That rettlji no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night, and they tarry a comparatively little whilo : but she, all day long, governs it, beautifies it, sanctifies it. it is within her power to make it the most attractive place on earth. It is the only calm harbor iu this world. Y'ou know as well as I do ( that this outside world and tho business world, in a long scene of jostle and contention. The man who has a dollar struggles to keep it ; the man who has it not struggles to get it. Prices up. Prices down. Losses Gains. Misrepresentations. Gouging Under selling. lluycrs depreciating; (talesmen exaggerating. Tenants seeking loss ren's : landlords detnandiug more. Gold fidgetty. Struggles about office. Men who are in trying to keep in ; men out trying to get in. Slips. Tumbles. De falcations. Panics Catasirophes. 0 woman ' thank God you have a home, aud that you may be quean in it. Bet ter bo there than wear Victoria's coro net. Better bo there than' carry the purse of a I'rinccss. Your abode uiav bo humble, but you can, by your faith in God and your cheerfulness of demean or, gild it with splendors such as an upholder's band never yet kindled. There are abodes in the city—humble, two stories ; four' plain, unpapcrcd rooms; undesirable neighborhood ; and yet there is a man hero this morning who would die on that threshold rather than surrender it. Why? It is homo Whenever he thinks of it, ho sees angels of God hovering around it. The Udders ol heaven are let down to that house. Over the child's rough crib theie arc the ohautings of aagcls like those that broke over Bethlehem. It ii home. These children may some up »ftci a whilo, and they may win high position, and thoy may have an affluent residence, but thoy will not until their dying day forgot tlmt bumble roof, under which their father rested, and their mother sang, and their sisters played. Ob, if . you wculd gather up all tender tncmor j ies, all th# light? and shades of the heart, ; all lunquotingt and reunions, all filial, : fraternal, patem il, v.d oonjugal affec tions, and you had only just four letters ■ with wbi li 1 J spell "Ut il at hei lit and t j depth, and length and breadth, and e mi. litude, and eternity of moaning, : 11 you w uld, with steaming eyes, nn l u | trembling voice, and agitated hand, 1 li j write it o it in tlios: four living capital, vj II O-M-K. s j What rigtbt does woman that is i 1 :.-uidor than to b ■ j'i-ii in sac'o i reiliu' j s Why, the eagle* of heaven cunuot flly i • across that dominion.

Isabella fh d from tho I > Spanish throne, pursued by tho nation'- J - anathema; but she who is queen in a j J homo will never lose her throne, and - death itself will only be the annexation { - of heavenly principalities. 5 When you want to ge f your grandest! " | idoa of a queen, you do not think of ! j Cathaiino of Russia, or of Anno of Kug ' | land, or Mario Theresa of Germany, but when you want to get your gran 1- ' est idea of a queen, you think of the 1 plain woman who sat opposite your t'a ' thcr at the table; cr walked with arm in-utm dovin life's patnway; sometimes ' to tlio thauksgiving banquet, sometimes ' to the grave, but always together— ! soothing your petty griefs, correcting ' your child is a waywardness, joining in ' your infantile sports, listening to your " evening prayers, toiling for you with j needle or at the spinning wheel, and on • cohl nights wrappiug yon up snug an l f warm. And then at last on that day 1 when she lay iti tho back roam dying, - and yon saw her take those thin InnJ.- 3 with which she toilml for you so long ■ and put them together in a dying 1 prayer that commended you to the iod ' whom she had taught you to trust. O, ■ sho was the quceu' Tlio chariots of f God came down to fetch her, and as she 1 went in, all heaven rose up. Y'ou can > not think of her now without a rush of • tendtfVndsS that : tirs the (leap founda ' lion of your soul, and you feel is UIUC!. ; - a child agaiti as when you cried on her j lap, and if you could bring her back i t again to speak juat onco more your : name, as tenderly as sho used to speak s it, yon would be willing to throw your -9 self on the ground and kis.i the sod s that covers her, crying: "Mother! Motli j er!" Ah! she was the queen—sho was ; the queen. Now, can you toll me how j many thousand mi/es a woman like that i would have to truyel down before sho i got to the ballot-box? Compared with j , this work of training kings aud queens • for God and eternity, how insignificant j seems all this work of voting for ablcr -3 men and common couucilmea, and t sheriffs, and constables, and mayors, and piesidents. To make one such graud r woman as I have described how many 1 thousands would you want of those peo . pie who go in tho round of godliucss, ) and fusblnn, anil dissipation, distorting • their body until in their montrositios . thoy seoni to outdo the dromedary and hippopotamus, going as far toward dis - graceful apparel as they dare go, so as i not to bo arrested by tho police—their i behavior a sorrow to tho good and n I caricature of tho vicious, and an insult i to that God who made them women and t not gorgom; and tramping on, down through a frivolus and dissipated life, I to temporal and eternal damnation. > O woman, with the lightning of your ■ soul, strike dead at your feet all these • amiurcmcnts to dissipation ond to fasli - iou. Your immortal soul cannot be fed upon such gurbage, God calls you up 1 to empire and d'>uiinton. Will you ■ have it' 0, give to God your heart: • uive ,0 Gid your best energies; give to • God all your culturo; give to God all i your refinement; give yourself to Him, I for this world and the next. Soon all ' these bright eyes will be quenched, and ! theso voices will bo hushod. For tl o last tune you will look upon this fair earth. Father's hand, mother's hand, child's hand will bo no more in yours. It will bo night, and thcro will come a cold wind from the Jordan aud you must start. Will it be a lone Woman on a trackless moor' Ah, no! Jesus will como up in that hour and ofTor his hand, and lie will say "Y'ou stood by Mo when you were wclli now I will not desert you when you aro siok." One wave of Ids hand and tho storm will drop; and another waxt of his hand, and miduiglit shall break into midnoon; and another wave of His hand, and the chauibertTiins of God will oouic down from tho treasure-houses of heavon, with rebus lustrous, blood ashed and heaven-glinted, in w. ioh ). u will array your.

One twilight, aft :r I had been play ! log with the children foi some time, 1 laid down upon the lounge to rest. l*l,'Uu sbildreu-j i"tid, pjay iiiore, Chil dten always want to piny more. And ! half asleep mid half awake, 1 seemed to I dream this dream: It seemed to nie | ; that I was in a far distant land - not | i'ersia, although in ra than Oriental j luxurianceorownrd tho cities; nor the tropics—although more than tropical | fruitfulnoss filled the gardens; nor | ! Italy—altliough mora than lulinn softness filled the air. And I wandered around, looking for thorns and not lies, hut I found none of them grew there. LAn 1 1 walked forth and I saw the sun I liso, and I said: '•When will it set again? 1 ' and the sun sank. And I saw all the people in holiday apparel, and I said "When will they put on workingman's garb a gain, and delve in tho tnir.e, and swel- I ter at the forgot?" but neither tho gar- I men to nor tho robes did they put off. j And 1 wandorcred in the suburbs, and I said: Wheic do they bury tho dead of ! this groat city j" at, d 1 looked along by tho hills where it would be most beau tiful for the dead sleep, and I saw eas. ties, and towns, and battlement,;; but not a mausoleum, uor monument, nor wnitc slab could 1 see. And 1 went into the groat chapel of the town, ntid I ; -aid: "Where do the poor worship! where arc the benches on which they sit?" a lid a voicn answered: "Wo have no poor in this great city." And I wan derej out, sockiug to find the place where wore tho hovels of the destitute , and I found mansion# of umber, and | ivory, and gold but no tear nor sigh did I see or hear. I was bewidered; and 1 ; at under a shadow of a great tree, and | I said " What am I, aud whence comes all this'" And at that moment there camo from among tho leaves, skipping i up tho flowery paths and actoss tho sparkling waters, a very bright and spnikling group; and when 1 saw their step 1 knew it, and when I heard their voices 1 thought I knew them; but their apparel was so different from anything I ' had ever seen I bowed, a stranger to strangers, liut after awhile, when they clipped their hands, aud shouted. "'Welcome' welcome!" tl.e mystery was solved, and I saw that time had parsed, and that eternity had come, and that God had gathered us up into a higher homo, and I said: "Are we all here'" aud the voices of innumerable genera tions answered: Here;" and while tears of gladness were raining down our checks and the branches of the Lebanon cedars were clapping their hards, ami the tow ers of tho great city wore chiming t/ioir welcome, we began to laugh, and sing, and leap, an 1 shout: "Home! Home! Home!" Then I felt a child's hand on my face, and it woke me. Tho children wanted to play more. Children always want to piny moro. OPINION IN NOK II CAROLINA. N. Y, UeraM Ureenbrlar White Kul|>liurß| rings Ourrottpuiuloucc. Ex-State Senator John N. Staples, of North Carolina, who headed the Cleve land electoral tiokot in 1881, and is now hero recuperating his health, said : "There are no elections in North Car olina this year. Next year wo elect a Governor, a Supremo Court Judge, mcmbcts of tho Legislature and a few local officers in the counties. The Leg islature to bo elected -vill choose a Uni ted States Senator to succeed Han som." "Will there be a contest for the Sen atorship ?" "If there is it will be between Han som, Govctuor Scales aud cx-(iovernor Jarvis, now Minister to Brazil, with the chances in favor of the present incum bent." "What will tho issues in the State he'" "Tho local issues will be county gov ernment, stock la*s and local option, but the main battle will be fought on national issues, and tlio democratic column will be in lino on the platform of the democratic party, as promulgated !by tho corning National Convention. Prohibition will bo an important factor, and 1 am of opinion that it is stronger s n the Stale now thsn it was a year NO. 0 igo." "How about tho internal revenue laws- 1" '•I do not believe you could raise a corporal's guard in North Carolina in favor of tho present internal revenue system. It is regarded as a war meas uie of tlio most o(Tensive and objection i bio character. The people of the SlaUi arc overwhelmingly in favor of i's repeal. There is a great diversity of opiuion ou tho subject of taxing whiskey and to | bacco. Some people would uot object to be taxed on whiskey, but ttyo greater number would favor the repeal™of the tax oil tobacco. The system of collec j tion greatly augments the objection* to the tax." I "How do the people of North Caroli- I na regard President Cleveland t" '•I believe our State Convention next I year will not only cordially indorse Mr. Cleveland's administration but will send a unanimous delegation in his favor to the National Convention. I very re cently conversed with one of our judges who had ridden the extreme western cir cuit of the .State, aud he said that Mr. Cleveland was stronger then wii.U tho people than ho wis in ISK4." "Have you heard any other siutiliar indorsements'" "Vcs, I hive 'net several gentlemen of prominence here from different portions of the Stale, and all of them express the opinion that Mr. Cleveland will be tho choice of the State for the second term. He may be very little democratic leaven in tho estimation of some of our demo cratic leaders, but, like the leaven of old, it finally leavened the whole. Mr. Cleveland may be working slowly, but lie is working surely. He is giving u* an honest administration instead of a corrupt one, a peaceful one rather than, one of strife, national and uot sectional. Our State is prosperous and our peoplo are happy under Cleveland's adminis tration, mid that is a good sign of tho. times." —-•—■ SMALL INDUSTRIES. The Obscrvxr • has time and again called the attention, of its readers, espe cially the people of Kaycttcvillc, to tho necessity of small industries. It has pointed out many that might be estab lished with benefit to the people and to the town; but thus far no attention baa been paid to it, and it often feels aa if it were wasting time, and perhaps tiring its readers. Hut it does not intend to be discouraged in its attempts to furth er the interests of the town, and it hopes that it may be casting bread upon tho waters and belies that it will return after many days. Our duty as a journalist and our love of the old town, both de mand it. We wish to see the place busy making useful aud necessary things. A wide-awake, progressive town, with the hum of machinery and the whistla of engines, cvci sotiuding in oar ears, are true indications of a live people, aud it does not want to sec all its young men in stores preparing themselves for only a mercantile life, where it is said that only one-tenth succeed ; and for them it is more important than for "we older folks," whose steps arc tottoring on the downward path of life, that other things than store-keeping be followed. Man ufactories build up towns and cities, they help the farmer—give him % better market, and thus aid all. Uo into our stores and see how many things there are purchased from Northern manufac turers that could bo just as well made here. We do uot advoeate that they be started on a big basis, requiting large capital, but ga her the mites and pot them together and start on a small scale, aud let th.i establishment gradually gruw, for there is in this ago searocly anything that is not needed and will not sell. If our young men could trav el mora, could seen tho innumerable ar ticles that are made to keep the world going, they would surely select one of the thousands to begin with, and utiliio many things here which now decay for want of proper manufacturers l'ay cttoville (Mmrver.
