Poor thing, she had e hasp of trouble end I reckon that apple waa thrown up to her a thousand times. 8h# waa a poor orphan ami oevar had a playmate nor eiweeibeurt nor any wooing or wedding doiuge or dot presents. Never was a little girl with dolls and chewlug gum and pis ton books. I wonder how long aba lived mad bow mauy children aha had. MAybe she didn’t dta at all and waa tnnilatad. Ilka Enoch, Moses doesn’t tall ua. Ho doesn't mention ber name but twice and It It not mentioned again In tbe Old Testament, sod only twiee Id the new, aad that waeto make tome Invidious remark about ber. Paul, who never bad a wife, aaye, “Adton was not deoelved, bat tbe wo man being deceived was I j transgres sion." How It that for e reason that she most be silent. He eaye that man was created In tba Image ot bis maker, but woman was created for tbe glory of tbe man, and must nevrr go aocov seed. I reckon that waa Uie fashion lo tboae days, joet as It Ls now In Turkey and Persia. Ha mid she most not braid bar bair nor wear golden orna ment* or Jewels or pearls or floe apparel. 1 tall you my brethren. It waa a good thing be nevei married, for hit wife would have been and awfully sub jugated woman and had just as well gon# loto a oonvaot and made a non of herself. He certain) v was bard down on tbe women. If all scripture la In spired, I bad rather have my oboloa and baiters la Jeremiah who eaye; “Gan a maid forget lieroroameotaor a bride ber attire T" Aud Istl h. who ealth, “The bridegroom decketh lilm aelf with ornaments nod the bride wltb ber jewels." Paul discouraged mar riage. for be ealth, “Tbe unmarried woman care lb for tbe things of tbe Lord, but sbe that is married carelb for tho things of ihs world, aud bow shs may pleut ber husband.” How about that f It don’t lit tbe girls In this pert of the country aad my obser vation M that the married women are the bast church women we have got. I like that scripture the but wbieh en courages tbe men to du their duty lo their wives. “Live Joyfully with tbe wife of thy youth and be tbou always ravished wltb her love,” ealth Solomon, and Mnlaohl telle of tbe cun* of God upon tba men who deal* treaohouily wltb his wifo, and Most*, tho lawgiver, said: “If a men shall be jealous of bis wife without a cause tbe elder* shall take him out behind tbe house and whip him," or words to that effect. I 1 know that and I know a cats right now that la ripe for the elders. The truth Is that In this generation nine out of ten divorces ere caused by tbe brutal or ucfaithful conduct of the men, and tho poor wife becomes a pitiful wreak, wltb nothing more to live lor, unloM perchance aha has a IIUie child or chil dren, that tho law naed to take away, but now gives her. They art tier only comfort. Tba vows, tbe promtaea that were made at tbe altar wbao all wa* peace aod hot* and sunshine—where are they ? Heard of a marriage tho other day where the country groom didn’t aeem to be paying much atten teoUon to tbe prom leas and the prrech *f bad to repeat the question. Do you promise to love, cherish and protect ber aa long as you both ahull live T" “Well, yea," said he, “I believe that was tbe oudervandln,” he said care lastly. My wire tells or one of her ancestors who lo the daya of ohlvalry and reaped for womeoklod, bitterly opposed the marriage of hie sister to e certain gen tleman, but she married him over hl> protest, eod tbat eight ha turned to the family record lq the old family Bible and wrote: “Ob tbit night my Indis creet atatec Solly, married tbat hypo crite, Jim Dixon, agalnat my with end wltt. It’s dona and can’t be helped, and now If he doean’t treat her well I’ll oat bla ten oS—damn him.” And ha meant 1L Almost every dally paper tolls of some poor woman whom life has hem wrecked l>y lirr husband. Poor old Sarah Stone’s death from neg lect and starvation la sad and pttlfuL bu l death at her old age It not so heA as the life of many of tbe youog married women who chained themselves to brotoe and have to go to the oourte to get unchained, bet neither courts nor time can bear tbelr broken hearts. May the Lord Maas the reeolollee of tboea Atlanta women who are going to avenge Sarah Stone’s death by prevId lag a boms for aged end friendless women. It takes e death like hen to aronee our humanity. People are net by nature unkind, bet they a rs neglect ful. The* are too busy to bust for ml aery and when It la threat upon tbem they are aabamed and ataaaed and sud denly start a reform movameut. Just as the women did wtoeo Ilood'a "Stmt of tbe Shirt” came out—men and womea wept sad went to work. ABA IMHl OBOtlXt (Ml Work tbow Atlanta womb bio ootxblorlug -tlx wagmaf working woman.

Tbert we thought that maybe some of the husband* of all lb*** widow■ were killed or died In the army, but there was not a woman who wa* made a widow by the oivil war. Then we let our ml ode wander over the town, and found widow* ait about. There were five to five other dwelling* tiiat almost teuehed one another. Veri ly, this la a good town for women to move lo If they wish to outlive their buabaod*. but widowers an more given to a seoond marriage then wid ow*, end they generally oh ode* a apio ater—*u old girl who baa never been married.

'‘Tbonaaods of llres bare bean lost in wreck and flood along tba Louisiana coast, sod the problem wbother any thing can be dons to make Ibis region habitable and protect paaniog vessels from the shores Is a serious one.

In order to avoid the danger re sulting from having Ibe yellow fever quart Mina station Immediately oppo site Uie plsaaure resorts of Mississippi Sound the government established a station oo Cbaodeleur Island and ex pended a largo amount of money to maka 11 perfectly safe, but with the Qrel storm the station oomptetrly dis appeared. It was decided that it ooutd ast be built oo the Island agalo, and tba quarto llus authorities re turned to Ship Island, Immediately f sol eg tha prosperous towns of Biloxi and Ooeao Springs, to which fact Uie yellow fever epidemics of 1897 and 1SUS ara attributed. Tba proposition waa strongly urged by the people of Missis alppl sod Loulslaoa after these epi demics that tba quarantine station should be returned to Use Cbandeteura, bat the answer was mads that life was Impossible there. It Is true that a number of fisherman live In this region or rather Osh there, but It is at groat risk, sod thousands aredrowoed—£.000 to the single disaster of Chanters Cam loads, a few years ago. The fishermen eeek tbe Cbenlerve and higher places in Lbelr email boats, pirogues and skiffs on Uie approach of tbs storm, but oven then they do not alemya escape, for the see sweeps over the ridges.

It waa almost by acci dent I bat the searcher* teamed that the wreck or tho Paul Joese had been seen nad visited by flsbse men more than a work before, and all the valu ables removed. The fishermen thought ►o little of the wreak that they did not deem It necessary avsn to report It. Hat fur the extraordinary measure* taken by Messrs. Jones and Taggart, the fate of the yachting party would have remained a mystery. “The down or so parties of friends, amateur yaehtmen and others who assisted In tbe search returned to Hew Orleans thoroughly Impressed with the wildness and desolation of the region they visited, and they all agreed that aothlug Ilka It exists anywhere else on tbs American ooast.
