LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1877.

- THE FISHERMAN’S WIFE. Result of a Heartless Landlord’s Exactions. : ' On a winter’s evening toward the end of February, some years ago, a man and a woman were sitting, sadl enough, in one of the humblest dw"elg ings near the harbor of Ostend, beside a table. - It was supper time, and yet the table was bare, and there was no fire. on the hearth, A new-born infant lay shivering in its cradle, which 'a piece of sailcloth alone protected from the sharp, north wind that blew through a broken pane in the window.

The man, who was one of those beings condemned to poverty and perpetual ‘toil from their very birth, .whether they plow the ocean or the earth—one of those unfortunates who never rest nor take to their bed, as Montagne says, but to die—or in other words, a seaman—would rise from his seat every now and then, go to the window to examine the state of the weather, and then return to his place ag if in despair. . e s The woman, wheo—was yourg and pretty still, in spite” of the withering effects .of poverty, looked anxiously from her husband to her infant. She endeavored to smile.to conceal her sufferings, and to inspire a degree of hope which she felt not. ! “I must Dbe off, after all,” said the poor seaman; “though the wind doesn’t change, and it blows hard enough to capsizeta flagship.” i “You had better wait a bit,” urged the wife. -

“Buf you haven’t a crust of bread to eat,” lie returned. : “I am not hungry,” answered she as boldly as she could. D “But then there’s our infant,” :

“Oh, he will ;not feel want, though we might,” replied the poor mother.

At this'moment a loud knock was heard at the door. -

“\VI)O'.S there?” said the wife, sfcarl?-

The infant was yoused out of its sleep, and expressed its hunger by a low wail. - ! e

“It, must be -our landlord,” answered the husband; “it is only a master who would knock in that fashion. He has come to remind us that our rent will be due in three days.” And the seaman went and opened the door. AT st ahol

. Sure enough it was the landlord—a landlord cut upon a pattern unhappily far too common-—one of those modern feudal lords, whe have replaced the feudality of the sword by the feudality of money, and who are quite as pitiless-towardg their serfs. . “lalloa, there!” said he; “I’ve come .to see ‘whether you are going'to pay me a little more -exactly than usuab.” ‘ “Alas! sir,” said the young mother, “we” have neither money nor work. " You see what weatheyr.it is!”

“That’s no busineds»of mine,” retorted the landlord. 3

“But, sir,” said the seaman, timidly, “give us a week’s delay, that I may have time to go a-fishing. I should have set off three days ago, but the sea has been too rough.” “I can’t help that,” replied the immovable ‘landlord. Then, seeing the wife cry, he condescended to explain his reasons for being thus inflexdble: “You should not have waited till the foul weather came on. You should work in the right season, and lay by, in the' course of the year, a sufficient sum to pay me.” ‘- “But, sir,” said'the tenant, “you know we work as hard-asever we can, and live from hand to mouth; and the week’s earnings are swallowed up in downright necessaries.” “Be that as it may, I must have my money, or I shall give you warning.” And- he walked off in a passion, calling the poor people good-for-noth-ing drunkards and idlers. And forthwith he went to calm his rage by drinking a few glasses of liquor at the nearest cafe. i

It would be impossible- to describe the scene of depair that took place in the seaman’s dwelling. - i ! The poor man rose, and embrdcing his wife and baby, left the cottage, and having knocked at-the door of several neighbors he had socon recruited half-a-dozen determined fellows as poor as himself, who were half surprised at his boldness, yet willing to follow his example, however fraught with danger, provided it offered a singlé chance of success against twengy chances of death. They nowi embark in one of those little nutshells called fishing boats, hired for the purpose, and about as ill put together as their house, and letting in as much water as the latter let in wind; ‘and off they set, impelled by that heroic sense of duty and of the sacredness of a debt, which must surprise many a banker who has failed, but which induces these poor people to risk for others the dangers they would not have faced for their own profit. 3 [ : - The poor woman had hikewise leff the cottage, and watched the few planks that were holding her whole happiness. o , :

The boat was soon out at sea. It ‘was just at the moment and in the season 'of those fearful equinoctial tides, when the sea seems to threaten to swallow up the earth, The waves were tossing about as if in fury, and dashing against each other like the onset of two contending armies. But no sooner did they feel the boat within their grasp than they assailed it stem and stern, and ‘lashed its sides till. its keel began to shake and its ribs to creak. Then down came the wind as if to'help the waves, and snapped the mast and tore away the sail. : ; |

It was a moving sight to watch this ‘warfare of the elements against man, but which, was fortunately half concealed from the seaman’s wife b a mountain of thick waves, whicfi oniy allowed her to surmise the danger to which the craft wasexposed. @ And now the seargse higher and higher, and kept! surging round the vessel. The waves rose above the sides of the boat and showered down their foam, that was caught midway by the gusts of wind, till at length a billow, taller and blacker than all the others, “overspread -the deck like a black pall, and. the death cry of six men was heard amid the triumphant din chorused by -the waves and the winds, ¢ :

~ Then, by one of those strangé ef‘fects of chance, the waves seemed to grow appedsed by this human sacrifice. The wind fell and in a.short time the sea became as smooth and polished as a sheet of silver. u , . The seaman’s wife had remained on shore until she had lost sight of the yessel, and then returned home, little thinking the boat had been upset go short a time after. ©On the contrary, her heart felt lightened at the sight of the stars now peeping forth from the sky, and she waited more hopeful1y for her husband’s return, :

The landlord waited also, : A week after a bill was stuck up on the house near the harbor, bearing the words, “Te hueren terstond™ (To be let with immediate possession). A lifeless infant, wrapped in a towel, lay exposed near the door ‘amid a

: RS - small lot of fu‘fitnre for sale—ten‘ant’s death not haying discharged the debt; while a mgd-woman sat on the jetty, at the very spot where the seaman’s wife had se?i the vessel for the lagt time: . o\ ( And every ‘day,at the same hour, this poor desolate creature 'would come and take her seat at the same place, in spite of the rain or the cutting winds-that blew in her face, with her head bare, and her eyes fixed on the horizon, scanming each billow that rolled toward the shore, as though it ~would- bring her' the beloved object -that was missing. - Then, as soon % the weather brighteued up, she would return to her lonely home; fd# the cottage, by a just feeling of - %enge on the part of the people, had neéver been hired by a; new tenant. Shetherefore went into it prepared for her husband’s return. She would lay on the table the bread received from her neighbors’ charity, and sei¥e up the soup for him who was meYer more to eat, while she kept: waiting constantly for him who would never return. again.. oo oe | b At other times “wien this modern Nina happened to descry a vessel, and she stood watching on the shore, would she brighten up, and seem to be busily searching for her husband among the crew; she would then wave her handkerchief, shout aloud, and run after the vessel. till it put into the harbor, There she would look out for her missing one, and pitch ‘on one of the crew whom she mistook | for him, and take him home with her; It would be impossible to describe. the extreme respect of these poor seamen for'the unhappy madwomen,: and the religious complaisance with which they fostered her illusion, by going to supper with her, and paying for their meal.

The police, however, thought it so highly immoral that the poor woman should choose a living husband every day to represent the dead one, that orders were given to put her into confinement. She was near dying of a burning feyer in her prison. : Some time after she was set.at liberty, and the first nse she made of it was to go and takiherz usual seat on the jetty, and to gaze at the ocean. ‘lt was evening; the sea was rough and the clouds asthreatening as on the fatal day that made her a widow. Presently she espied a vessel-at anchor in the same direction in which she had ceased to see the boat that formerly bore her husband; then the hallucination ghe alwa&rs experienced at: such a. sight seized upon her more violently ithan ever; while the similarity of the weather still further aggravated her chronig illusion.

She thought she heard a voice calling to her, and saw a phanton hold out his arms to her; she screamed aloud, rushed into the sea, and hurried toward the vessel. :

The Grangexév(:ase Decided.

WASHINGTON, March Ist.—ln .the Supreme Court to-day the Chief Justice read the opinion of the Court in the case of Munn and Scott against the people of the State of Illinois, the principali granger case, affirming the right of the State to fix by law the maximum of charges for storage of grain in warehouses at Chicago and other places in the State, having not less than 10,000 inhabitants, in which grain is stored in bulk and in which grain of different owners is mixed together, and in whicH grain is stored in such a manner that the identity of different lots or parcels can not be accurately preserved as provided by the Legislature. In the course of the opinion the Court says in countries where the common law prevails it has been customary from time immemorial for the I.egislature to declare what shall be a reasonable compensation under such circumstances, or perhaps more properly speaking to fix the maximum beyond which any charge made would be unreasonable. Undoubtedly in 'mere private contracts relating to matters in which the public has no interest what is reasonable must be ascertained -judieially, but this is because the Legislature has no control over such contract. So, too, in matters which do not affect public interest and as to which legislative control may be exercised. If there are jno statutory regulations upon the/ subject the courts must determine what is reasonable. The controlling fact is the power to regulate at all. ' If that exists the right to establish,a maximum of charge as one of the means of regTulation is implied. .In fact the common, law rule which requires the charge to be reasonable is iqéself a regulation as to price. Without it the owner could make his rates at will and compel-the public to yield to his terms or forego their use—conclusion is that the law is repugnant to the constitution of the [United States, and that thereis no errdr in the judgment,. c\ o el Bl 7 Breathing Migsma Wl;[hont Injury. There is no exaggeration in the statement that thousands of persons.residing from one year’s end to another in fever and ague regions on this continent or elsewhere, breathe air more or less impregnated with miasma, without incurring the disease, simply and only because they are in the h‘a%it of using Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a preventive. - It has frequently happened, and the fact has been amply attested by the parties themselves, that persons surrounded on all sides by neighbors suffering ‘the tortures of this shivering and burning plague, have enhjoyed absolute immunity from it, thanks to the protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-febrile cordial less efficaciousg in remedying than in preyenting chills and fever, billious remittents, and disorders of a kindred.type. Taken between the paroxysms, it speedly mitigates their violence, and eventually prevents their recurrence. These facts, convincingly estal.blished by evidence, appeal withzpeculiar force to travelers and sojourngrs in malarious districts. . T _ 455 w,

THE GERMAN BAPTISTS OR , DUNKARDS. | o — : ‘ ! Who They Are and What They I - Believe. =Bl : — i i [From The Brethren at Work.] ‘)‘ At the present time there’are in the United States about 100,000 " people whose religious faith and practice are very imperfectly understood by the generality of American readers, and 1 in Europe very little is known of them. Many papers have gone forth purport- } ing to give a full and correct account ~of their religious tenets and some of their peculiar principles—but, so far, have been quite vague and often very incorrect. This article can be strictly relied on as being correct, and is likely the most complete account of that people that has yet been published, and is intended. to set forth some of the arguments by which they defend their faith and practice, along with many of their peculiarities, for which they are noted. = ' . _ THE NAME, . . . _ In history thiey are generally known by the name German Baptists, but more commonly among outsiders as “Dunkers,” ;or, as it i$ more generally spoken, “Dunkards.” The latter, however, are nick-names, derived from a German word meaning fo dip, and is somewhat expressive of their manner of baptizing, Among themselves they are known as Brethren, taken from the declaration of Christ on a certain occasion when he said: “All ye are brethren.”—Matt. xxiii; 8. The : . ORIGIN AND HISTORY ot this reformatory movement dates from the year 1708, having taken its rise in Germany about that time, in a ‘ portion of country where Baptists are said to have been wholly unknown, Some eight persons in number, who had been bred Presbyterians, excepting one who was.a Iyutheran, became much dissatisfied- with the then prevailing religious principles of the day, consorted fogether in order to prayer-, fully read the Bible and comfort one another, and, if possible, find the old vath and walk therein, for as yet they knew not that there were any Baptist churches in existence. i

After a careful study of the sacred Word, they were fully convinced that faith and strict obedience in all thinugs, laid down in the perfect law of liberty, were essential .to salvation, and agreed to “obey from the heart that form of doctrine once delivered unto the saints.” Consequently, in the year 1708, they all repaired to the river Eder, by Schwarzenau, and were\ buried with Christ in baptism. The ¥ were baptized by trine immersion, organized themselves,into a ehurch, and chose Alexander Mack for their minister. - Though Alexander Mack was chosen as their first minister, yet the church has never recognized him as the originator of either their faith or practice. o i

They increased rapidly, their doetrine spread far and wide, and soon excited the hatred of persecution by which they were driven from place to place, till the year 1719, when they commenced emigrating to America, and:settled in the vicinity of Philadelphia and Germantown. In. 1729 nearly the whole church found herself quietly settled down in the western world. - Among these was their first preacher, Alexander Mack, who, though formerly a man of considerable property, was now poor in this world’s goods, yet rich in grace and knowiledge. le-quietly settled himself on a small lot near Germantown, in the.vicinity of Philadelphia. He did not live long to enjoy the quietude of a home in the new world, but only six years after his arrival in America, he closed his labors on earth. And now in the Brethren’s publie burying ground in Germantown, the stranger is shown the spot where rests the remains of this humble and venerable reformer. He is said to have been 2 man of great piety, and exercised a good influgnce in his own family. All his sons united with the church in their seventeenth year, and some of them lived to be useful men in their Master’s cause. : SRy

It may be proper to observe that all the Dunkards in Americahave sprung from the little band of eight souls, who ‘started up in Germanyin the year 1708, and that, too, in a portion of the courty where no Baptist had lived in the memory of,man, and even now, none exist there. Most all reformatory movements have usually been introduced and kept up by some one of great influence and talent, but not so in this. This movement was put on foot by men and women who occupied humble positions in life, and consequently, at the head of* the organization, i 8 no man to whom'the body can appeal for human authority or precedent, and hence in all their faith and practice, they are under the necessity of appealing directly to the Scriptures,’ the only infallible source of correct information, for all their authority in religious practices. ; . This little leaven has spread itgelf far and wide till now nearly every Statd and Territory has its members. They are, however, most numerous in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, lowa, Virginia and Missouri, dod s

But while the present organization dates its history from the movement in Germany, the careful reader will observe that the rise of their faith and practice generally is hid in the remote depths of Christian antiquity.

PRESENT CONDITION.

Owing to the faet that they have never published any denominational statistics, it is somewhat difficult to determine their exact number, Those, however, who are acquainted with the entire body, state that their number is not far from one hundred thousand. As. this estimate was made several vears ago it is likely short of their number, for in various localities they have increased in numbeis very fdst, and it is perhaps safe to place their number considerably above one hundred thousand. :

WEALTH AND OCCUPATION,

. The larger majority of them are farmers, and where they settle to any great’ extent they are sure to make a well improved country. Many of them are mechanics, while a small number are professional men, Such a thing as Dunkard lawyer is wholly unkngwn. They are usually in good. circumstances, and many of them are men of considerable wealth, .As it is a part! of their religion to inculcate industry . and frugality, abstaining from all extravagance and worldiy display, they are likely to become in. possession of property. By abstaining from superfluities of all kinds they not only improve their health and increase ‘their wealth, but set before the world a good example of plainness and frugality.g ; o 4 THEIR CREED. : 'They have no written creed, save the New Testament, which they regard as the only rule of their religious faith and practice. They consider this .to be all that was used by the primitive Christians in the first cen

tury, and by virtue of the same is sufficient now. The minutes of their Annual Councils are published, from year to year;- this by not a few is innocently regarded as their discipline, but they do not regard it as such, but receive it as/ advice from those who are assembled on that occasion. Lately they have collected and published all the minutes of their Annual Councils and have bound them in book form. o . i FAITH AND PRACTICE. They believe in the Trinity—that there are three divine persons'or pow= ersin the God-head. 'They accept the entire Old and New Testaments as being of divine' inspiration, and strongly contend for a literal interpretation of the same, as we would interpret the language of other books, so far as it may appear in harmony with the generat tenor of the Bible. . They believe in future rewards and punishments—that the wicked, those who willfully disobey the gospel,, “shall go away into everlasting punishmeént, but the righteous into life eternal.”— (Matt, 26: 26.) o P e They believe that idiots; all infants,! and persons who die before they ari rive at the years of knowledge—to know good from evil—will be saved without obedience, being sufficiently atoned Lfor- by the death iof Christ.: They are, however, strong opposers of infant baptism, believing, like -the Baptists in general, that baptism is intended for believers only, and as infants cannot believe,and are not required to do so, they are perfectly safe ‘without it. It isfurther believed by them that baptism in connection with faith and repentanee is for the “remission of sing” (Acts 2: 89,) ¢.e. actual sins committed—and as the children have committed no ectual sin against. a law of which they. know nothing, they are fit subjects for heaven without being baptized. It being further maintained that baptism is “the answ%' of a good conscience towards | God” (ist Pet. 3: 21) cannot apply to children, as they know nothing of baptism and cannot, therefore, have any conscience in the matter. ‘

Faith, repentance and baptism are considered essential to salvation and for the remission of sins. “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” “He that believeth shall not be damned.” “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.” “Repent and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” None gre recognized as members until after baptism. . ~ i "1 TRINE IMMERSION. : First in order of the ordinances is baptism, which is to be observed immediately. after the exercise of true repentance, according to the command “Repent and be baptized.”, The mode of baptism is peculiar, is called trine immersion, and their general ‘service attending it is as follows: At the wa-ter-side they all kneel down—especially the ap?llioant and the administrator—and the administrator then offers up a short prayer to God. This being over, they both go down into the water toa proper depth and the applicant kneels down. The administrator then asks the following questions, all of which the applicant answers in the aflirmative: '“Dost thou believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He has brought from heaven a saving gospel? Dost thou willingly renounce Satan, with all| his pernicious ways, and all the sinful pleasures of this world? Dost thou covenant with God, in Christ Jesus, to be faithful until death?” Then he pror ceeds—“Upon this, thy confession o,E faith, which thou hast made: before God and these witnesses, thou shalt, for the re%\ission of sins, be baptized in the name of the Father,” (then bends the applicant forward 'ttél he is wholly immersed) “and of thie Son” (dipping him the second time) *and of the Holy Ghost,” (dipping him, the third time.) After this, and whilethe applicant is yet knéeling, the administrator lays his hands.on the applicant’s head and offers up ashort prayer to God in his behalf. - Baptism makes the recipient a member of the church;: and is never repeated for the same individual. Excommunication does not impair the validity of the baptism, so that they can- be received again on proper repentance and reformation, without : the readministration of the ordinance. : .

In defense of their practice it is maintained by them that the commission—“ Baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,” is very elliptical, and when filled up agreeable with rules of the English as well as the Greek lan-. guage will read as follows: “Baptizing them into the name of the Father, and baptizing them into the name of the Son, and baptizing them into'the. name of the Holy Ghost.” This is claim-, ed tobe the grammatical import of the language, and is amply sustained by all the ancient Greeks of Christian antiquity who have written on the subject. It may be in place to remark that Chrysostom, the most.renowned Creek scholar of antiquity, and who lived. and wrote in the fourth century, says: “Christ delivered to his disciples one baptism in three immersions of the body] when he said unto: them, ‘go teach all nations, baptizing them in thename of theFather,and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.’” - The Greek portion of Christendom, who received the gospel directly from the apostles, themselves, to this day, amid all their speculations and ceremonies, still retain the use of the three-fold immersion, which is an unanswerable argument in defense of the antiquity of the trine immersion as now practiced by the German Baptists. As they believe in the Trinity—that there are three persons in the one God-head, they maintain that there should also be three actions in the one baptism.’ ‘Their method is invariably performed by the e ol e FORWARD MOTION L of the body in the water, believing that backward immersion is a human invention, and cannot be traced be\ifao.nd its origin among the English aptists in the sixteenth c¢entury (Judson on Baptism, p. 112.) They hold that as baptism is an aet of obedience, like all other obedience, must be forward and not backward, and being in the lkeness of Christ’s ‘deagb,:*whichv took place on the cross where he bowed his head (forward) they in like manner must bow forward in the water. L

_ FEET-WASHING,. : Next in order is the ordinance of feet-washing. The authority is from the incident of Christ washihg his disciple’s feet, narrated in John 13. They believe the command in the 14th and 15th verses of this to be as literally binding as-the commands elsewhere for the observance of the coms munition. It is observed as a preparation for the Love-feast and communion, aceording to the statement of Christ to Peter in! the lotfi verse. In the observance of the ordinance the brethren wash the feet of theg-brethj-i ren only, and the sisters of the sisters., The sexes never, under any circam-.

-stances, wash the feet of each other, as . has sometimes been echarged.— Everything connected with the ordinance -is doné decently and in order. 'l_t is observed at every Love-feast and communion: s : - (T 0 BE GONTINUED NEXT WEBK.) * .- ..'The Marriage Vow. ~Too much cannot be written against the growing tendency to lightly weigh the vows of wedlock. The solemn obligations of the married state are coming to be looked upon .by many as a - yoke to be thrown off at. will, and in the eyes of such, marriage is no better than licensed prostitution. -This state -of things is the legitimeate outgrowth ‘of our divorce laws, and will doubtless continue until -they are changed; or until a higher degree of morality obtains. - It is elevating to think of unions where man and -wife go.hand in hand through all the trials and vicissitudes of life; bearing each other’s griefs and burdens. . It is ennobling to contemplate the characters of those who, ~w§ph<an abiding faith, are blind to the faults of each other, and: see only that which is good, where much that is faulty exists. - But it is sad to see, as in so many cases, and after a few short years, or months, or weeks, husband: and wife begin to feel that’ they are mismated, and instead of trying to bring back the old-time friendship, willfully drift farther and farther apart, until'a divorce is the only thing needed to effect a complete separation.. Love is blind, and young people, in taking their partners. “for life,” are prone to look upon them as perfect, and when one by one little imperfections of temper, of habit or of taste,are disclosed by the intimacy of the new relation, they are apt to be, magnified, land ' cause a revulsion of - feeling in the heart of the observer. We delight to“recall instances of blind devotion tofhusband or wife. The man who, hdving a frivolous, extravagant, upfealing wife, and yet never forgets he is his wife, and honors and treats her as a husband should, holds the respect .of eyeryone. . The wife who having a husband that may have sinned, still- clings lovingly to him, determined that he shall otitlive his shame, and that she will help him to do so, commands the admiration}lof every manly man and/every woma lly woman, - Execept for the basest of crimes, | let no families be divided. “Whom/ God-has joined together, let no -man .put asunder.” —Fort Wayne

That Bargain Between Hayes and ' | Certain Southerners. ' (Special dispatch’ to the Detroit Evening News.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—A letter from Hayes was received yesterday by Secretary Fish, suggesting a way ‘out of the Southern difficulty. Grant has hesitated to recognize either of the pretended governments in Louisiana_or South (Carolina, on the plea that the question could more properly be settled by Congress or the new administration; meaiwhilethesouthern ! members of the House have their op- | portunity in afillibustering movement to compel of the Republicans a recognition of Hampton and Nicholls as the priee of their abstention from dilatory. moves, threatening if these ‘'were. not recoghized to join their northern partisans in delaying the count, thus defeating Hayes’ election, This situation has presented an insurmountable difficulty to the Republicang in Congress, as they could not recognize Nicholls without confessing the fraud. by. which Hayes got the Louisiana vote, and Hayes could not promise it for the same rsason. The letter above mentioned removes the obstacle by requesting Fish to urge ‘Grant .to recognize Nicholls at once, leaving Hayes when inaugurated to acknowledge Hampton. He could do the latter without. stultification, as thet Democrats -themselves confess that he carried South Carolina, although .Chamberlain was defeated. Grant,'and Fish had a conference on -the subject last evening, and it was determined to issue a proclamation on | Friday recognizing the Nicholls government, . 1. SN - Do’ Count Your Enemies.
