ple who made it. -'but then" said
he, we are having mighty good
meetings going tin, and I always
noticed that it took a power of
religion to do follvs under trouble
more religion in adversity than
prosperity and they always get it."
That's so I recicon. The good book
says: "Humble thyself under the
mighty hand of God," but a man
can't do it with a pocket, full of
'money. He may be ever so much
inclined that way, but a man who
has no wants uusupplied can't get

is ill iuc low grounds oi sorrow.
The ricit man feels secure and in
dependent whether it rains or not.
The only thing he wants it to rain
for is to lay the dust and cool the
air so lie can feel Otter in Ins
skin. Rut. the poor farmer looks
to the clouds for a liviug and he
never looks up without feeling his
dependence upon Him who made
th. ui and who sends the rain upon
the just and the unjust. It is not
at all impossible for a rich man fo
reverence his Maker, and do good
with his money and have a peace
ful conscience. Job is a notable
example,and we have them about
nowadays, ever and anon, but still
they are scarce. It looks like the
more the Lord gives a man the
more he ought to love, him but he
dou't, and it is the same way with
a parent and his children. Poor
folk's children love their parents
better than rich folk's - children,
and the best Christians I know of
are among the poor and afflicted:
Rich men's children stand around
waiting for the old man to. die.
They don't think they are, but,
they are, and they catch- them
selves figuring many a time about
their share, and what, they will
get when the old man dies. Dr.
llaygood preached a sermon at
our town not long ago, and with
solemn earnestness .declared that
it was a perilous thing for a father
to lay up money for his children.
"For many long years," saitl he,'
"I have lieen an educator of the
boys of this Imtd. I have loved
them and watched them, and tried
to guide them by precept -and ex
ample, a ltd I .say now with solemn
conviction, that there is' no dauger,
uo peril, no temptation so fatal to
youth asriches. -Many boys come
to college as beneficiaries; many
come whose parents are toiling
and struggling to give them an
education, and- many come whose
parents are rich, and their chi lit
re n never know a want. It is this
last class outy that have ever
given us trouble or anxiety. From
this class all the expulsions come,

The Charleston "News and Cou
rier" has investigated this new agri
cultural implement, and hnds in it
the promise of future success in
performing the labor of picking
cotton by machinery. -The machine
is not yet perfected and, has not
yet been placed on the market
The principal object, viz., that of
taking the cotton from the bolls by
means of... revolving cylinders has
been accomplished in a man net
nearly perfect. The problem of
disposing ol the cot ton in bags af
ter it has been removed from the
bolls has not yet been tdunplelei.v
solved, and the inventor is still at
work upon it. Many practical cot
ton planters have been to Sumter
to wit ness the operation of the Ma
son Picket and all concur lit tin;
opinion that it will be a success.
What its cff. et will be on the fat tire
of col I on planting is "a great prob
lem. 'That'it will greatly increase
the .amount- of. cotton produced
seems '.extremely probable, and
unless the demand for cotton shall
j increase iu a corresponding propor
tion, the effect, of this machine will
be to depress i lie price of the great
staple. But on the other hand
the spirit of the age demands
improved machinery in every line
of industry, and the effect of such
improvements have not on the whole
been unfavorable to the working
man. Exchange.

NEW YORK CITY IN LINE
At the great Cleveland demon

thusiasm prevailed. Alter Mavor

' meiidotis demonstration of etiihti
. siasm that Mr. Beecher's appear
; a nee evoked early in l he evening
was related with an enhanced
zest as the great preacher walked
. to the sjteakers stand and, laying
i his right hand upon it, gazed w ith
good-natured patience at the exn
: Iterant audience. Then, with an
imperturbable expression on his
face, he quietly' remarked, as the
applause showed no signs of dimin
ishing, "Take, your time geaile
uien; we have yet the w hole night
Ik fore us." This had the effect of
; producing a lull, .-of which Mr.
Beecher took immediate advan
tage. , . . ..r.
' , Mr. Beecher then began a verv
happy address, nearly every sen
tence of which evoked applause.
We give the conclusion:
"They ask inel how I can leave

But I do not like this compliment
for the State of New York. I say
that if this city, if you measure the
agriculture, the manufactures; if
you consider the educatiou, the
professional standing, the vast
commerce which it controls, and
if then you cast your eye upon its
politcs and those who manage
them, you will agree with me
when I say that the man who can
manage the polities of the State
of New York is fit to manage "0

These words were just out l '
Mr. Beecher's mout h w hen a round
of applause was commenced by
those ersoiis who were crowded
together near the stage entrance.
All eyes were, turned expectantly
in I he direction from w hence the
sounds came, and fhe next in
stant the shout, "Cleveland is
here'" rang through the auditori

.Jtoiits so great ami lasting was
the volume of sound. Dignified

their reserve for the time being
and stood up in their seats, vying
with their clerks in enthusiastic
efforts. A thousand white ha ml
kerchiefs tluttcred over the heads
of the multitude, and hats, news
paers and flags were waved vig
orously... Three cheers were pro
losed for the Governor ami given
with stirring unanimity.
Then as Gov. Cleveland stepped
to the front of the stage three
more cheers were git'en, these
were repeated once, twice, ami
even three times, ami still the
enthusiasm was unabated. To
heighten the effect, the band
played in stilwlued tones a stirring
march. Then a lust v-hiiiged del

barrassed by the overwhelming
cordiality ol his greeting. When
the applause ceased, Gov. -Cleveland
began his brief speech in a
lear strong voice, which could
easily., be heard in every part of
the auditorium. The Governor
saitl .-
"Gentlemen, 1 tftatik you lor
this, and it seems to me that it is
cause for congratulation to-night
that the business men of this great
metroK)lis have round reasons in
the pending political struggle to
unite, together for earnest effort.
It has often seemed to me that
one reason why we OS a people do
not receive the fall advantage of
our form of government has been
found in the fact that our business
men were too apt to neglect their
political duties. Applause. The
idea is quite too common that
there is heroism and virtue in a
refusal to hold ofiice, and ..that a
stern denial of any interest in pol
itics is a strong asseveration of
personal virtue and; business in
tegrity. Applause. The inter
ests which this class have in
charge and the protection ami
safety of them are intimately con
nected with the wise administra
tion of the government.
"Ami it seems to me that if their
duty as citizens does not, compel
them to take i part in political af
fairs, chat their desire ami need of
protection and self defence should
lead them in that direction.
Loud cheers. 1 believe, too,
that , ..a government, is never bet
ter administered than when it is
conducted on business principles,
fitpplaitNe,! ami it js quite evident
to me. that, there Is no better way
of impressing this iion the ml
ministration of public affairs than
by the interference of our business
men in the .public affairs. Cheers
1 construe tins large and enthusi

turn in which it had its rise, as a
promise that they have liecouie

cal questions iiud tiolitical issues.'
. After the'applause attendant on
Gov. Cleveland's lemarks had died
away the Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er again came t the trout, and
the audience .apparently imagining
that they were going to hear the
remainder of" an address, settled
down peacefully.
"(teiitlcineii," saitl the reverend
gentleman, "the real regulation

wind up with a splendid climax

ret ire."
After this a letter v as read from
Gov. S. J. Tilden. of which the fol
lowing is t he coiiclnsion :
"I cordially concur in your opin
ion that the '.election of Cleveland
and Hendricks is demanded by
the best interests of the country.
I believe that their election will
lie a substantial victory- for the
cause of good government;, .that it
