Acts 13. That was too unexpeettHl
an occurrence for tho assembly of be
lievers. They avowed that the maid
bearing the Information was either
razy or had seen n ghost. How sur
prised faithful Christians often are if a
prayer is really heard. Answers to
prayer are recounted with unending
exclamation marks, whereas answer of
true prayer ought to be considered the
most natural experience In God's uni
verse. Much, praying Is a mere iier
formauce. A farmer coming to. town
read at a physician's door. ''Please pull
the bell." He pulled until a head was
poked out ot the window inquiring,
"WelTf "Oh, I've read the sign and
thought it no more than polite to pull.''
was his respon-so. The only res)ouse
that could perhaps be given by many
who feel themselves called upon in the i
Bible to pray. They do not read that
the young Fharisoo transacted many a
prayer before heaven said of him. "Be-1
bold, he prayetb."' Their arrows shot
heavenward have plenty of feather but
no point. They do not spread the lleoce,
like Gideon, for the dew to descend up
on. F. W. C. Meyer.

But X turn from Adam's orchard to Solo

writes! "I made me gardens and ore hards."
Not depending on the natural fall ot rata,
he irrigated those orchards. Pieces of tha
aqueduct that watered those gardens I have
aeon, and the reservoirs are as perfeot as
when thousands of years ago, tho mason's
trowel smoothed the mortar over their gray
nurfaoe. No orchard of olden or modern
time, probably, ever had its thirst so well
slaked. The largest of these reservoirs Is
r.s2 feet long, 207 feet wide, nnd fifty feet
deep, These reservoirs Hoiomon refers to
when he says: "I made mo pools of water,
to water therewith the wood that bringctli
forth trees," Hoiomon UMcd to ride out to
that orchard before breakfast. It gnvu
him an appetite and something to mini;
about all the day. Josephus, the hlstoiinti,

Thwy ibohu what li Iwanl Pay.sjn meant

It may bo a hold thing to say, but I risk
it, that If till tho people, without rp-3ct to
belief or character, at death passed into
everlasting happiness, religion for this
world -'Is such a luxury that no man or
woman could afford to do without it. Tho
dear old book opened with Adam's orchard
and closes with Ht. John's orchard Ht.
John went Into the orchard through a
stoitu gate, tho black basalt of tho Islo of
Patmos, to which he had been exiled.
That orobard which he saw was and Is
In heaven. One person will err lu speak
ing of heaven us all material, and another
person describes h -uivon a all llguratlve
aud spiritual, and both are wrong. Heaven
is both material and spiritual, as we are
both material and spiritual. While much
of ths lllblo account of heaven 1 to bo
takcu figuratively and idrltaally.lt I plain
to mo that heaven has also n material exist
ence, How much was literal and how mu 'h wrs
figurative, I cannot say, hut Ht. John saw
two rows of tree oii each fddo of u river,
and It differed from other orchards lu the
fact that the trees born twelve manner of
fruits. The learned translate of our com
mon Dlbtu say It means twelve ilHTcront
kinds ot f roll In one year. Albert IJ linos
nays lu moms twelve erons or inesanu,
kind of fruit In one year. Not able to de
cble whb'h is tho tnoro accurate transla
tion, I adont both. If It menu twelve dif
ferent kinds of fnnt.lt del, ire variety n
heavenly Joy, If li menus twelve crops ot
the mime kind of fruit, It declares abun
dance' In heavulv joy, aud they are both
true, Variety llfi, yesl Not an eternity
with nothing but inuwlc that Uraturia
would be too protracted, Not an eternity
of iirocucMjou on white horse -that would
be too long iu the stirrups. Not an eternity
of watching tho river -that would be too
inuehoftbe picturesque, Not an eternity
of pine!; log fruits from the tree of llfo
that would bo too much of the heavenly
orchard, lint all manner of varieties, ana
I will tell you of at least twelve of those
varloth's: Joy of divine worship; Joy over
tho victories of the J.amb who was stale;
joy over the repentant sinner; joy of re
counting our own rescue; joy of embracing
old friend?: joy at recognition of patriarchs,
apostles, evangelists and martyrs; joy of
ringing lrermoiih; joy uf r denitting broken
friendship: joy at tho explanation of Provi
dential mysteries; joy at walking the boule
vards of gold; joy at looking at walls green
with, emerald, and bluo with sapphire, and
crimson with jasper, nnd aflash- with ame
thyst, entered through swinging gates,
their posts, the hinges and their panels o

While thcrj is enough of tho pomp of tho ;

the Bible about country saenery in heaven j
to please those of as who were born in the i

We were talking about the old Houth
and the new Houth and some said there
was no new Houtb; that we were the
samo people and hnvo the same princi
ples, the same religion and the samo
politics that our fathers bad, but like
tbo rest of the civilized world, we have
advanced in education and general in
telligotieo nml iu the uujuyiueut of tbe
comforts of life. !
Well, I am no pessimist, but I am
grieved to say that in many things We
havo advanced backward. We have
more books and mure newsistisars and
more school, but that crime is en the

Fifty years ago we bad no .vagabonds;
every young mau worked at homothing,
and it was considered disreputable to
lie around in idleness. In fact, we
bad a vagrant law that compelled the
lazy, trifling fellows to earn a living,
1 reckon thnt law is still in theeode.but
it is a dead letter. When a young
man married a girl it was expected by
both sides that ne could and would mp-

women, and now w oman iwias forging
ahead anu taking tbe plaees and occu
pations of men, and my friend, Mr.
oilliains, of California, , surprised us
by saying that there were a tribe of Iu
dians'in tbo northwest who were al
ready far iu advance on this line; that
he bad known them ever since he
moved to California, in lllJ). In this
tribe the women dominate the men in
tbe family and tbo Held and forest.
They rule them absolutely, make th mi
cook and wush and nurse, and actually
hire them out and collect the pay.
Their principal business is trapping for
iurs. The women do this pu ) nell tbo
furs aud pocket the money, and many
of them have a good bank account in
laii Francisco. The men erejnot known
in any business transactions. Ho it
seems that our new woman ban a sav
age precedent. Ilnve wo got to come
to this? Will I live to see the day
when my wife will lure ine out as a
nurse or a cook ami pocket the inouey?
Mio knows that I can do both, und I
never dodged it nt homo on an emer

ami cultivate her flowers the remainder
of my terrestial days. Khej knows that

when the Confederate government

ruiddle of the tilde and Teal led up lus
wife aud lour children and divided it
into rivo piles uud gave them ??''() each
ami saiil, "Now, the gold in ull yours
aud I haven't got a dollar; iin the world;
but I reckon I bad better beep it for
you," und bo raffed it all into the bag

ibere is no greater contrast between
tho old Hotiib uud tbe new South than
is shown in the advilnctment and the
humiliation of woman. They are uow
ou the two extremes. Before tho war
there wore no female doctors, or law
yers, or lecturers, or others not one
and there were no bookkeepers, or
typewriters, or 6hop giris, or clerks.
The average woman ofr'c'uted as a wife
ml mother, or a daughter cherished by
her parents and her brother. The wife
was the lady of the bouse, bo it
ever soAiurnble, and she was content
with her lot. it was even considered
beneath her pride and dignity to teach
Qfbnol and hence there was an annual
importation of New England spinsters
to teach the children. I and my sisters
went to four of them in quick suces
sion, for our widowers married them
about as last as they came, and they
made good wives and good stepmothers,
and were tbe most econprnicai uuu,
keepers in the world. They were raise,
that way and neither the dog nor the
little niggers got any piore scraps than
they could eat. n

I can almost weep for some I know.
They keep their sorrows to themselves

woman! how great is the peril! How

a tearful, pitiful letter from overt-bo
border. It wa from a Wife end mother
who was an exile from her Htnlo and
country, and had not heard from her
pnrents In three lotig yenre; nor
lib I they know where she was. Hhe
did not dare to let them kjpiw, for fear

to me that i will die if X do not hear

heart is almost breakiug," They are

for they oommunioate through me.
I know of other-eases where the wife
has followed her unfortunate husband
oinan-of Avives ar
mothers -wives whose husbands have
brokeu their marriage vows and. gone to
the bad; motuers whose sons are afar
off in orison for some crime, or at home
a drunkard. Oh, the pity of it, the pity
of it! Is there no way to reform this
world and make i better? If I was
a young woman and longed for m

thoughts and dreams, one who w.onld

brighter side, a sunshine that illumi

woman, and . there is nothing more
