THE MIGHTY PEN. Sermon by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmasre in Brooklyn. “The Life end Death or Henry W. firadj,’ * the Fearless Min, end the ChrUtlen Editor Measured by » Pulpit Standard... As the subject of a recent sermon in the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Rev. T. DeWitt Tahmage took “The Life and Death of Henry W. Grady.” His text was: i "* Take thee a great roll, and write In it with a man’s pen.—Isaiah viii., L To Isaiah, with royal blood :in his veins, and a habitant of palaces, does this Divine order come. He is to take a roll, a large roll, and write on it with a pen, not an angel's pen, but a man’s pen. So God honored the pen and so He honored manuscript. In our day the mightiest roll is the religious and secular newspaper, and the mightiest pen is the editor’s pen, whether for good or evil. And God says now to every literary man. and especially to every journalist: “Take thee a great roil, and write in it with a man’s pen.” Within a few weeks one of the strongest, most brilliant and most vivid of

those pens was laid down on toe eaiiorial desk in Atlanta, never again to be resumed. I was far away at the time. We had been sailing up from the Mediterranean sea, through the Dardanelles, which region is unlike any thing I ever saw for beauty. There is not any other water scenery on earth where God has done so many picturesque things with islands. They are somewhat like the Thousand Islands of our American St. Lawrence, but more like Heaven. Indeed, we had just passed Patmos, the place from which John had his, apocalyptic vision. Constantinople had seemed to come out to greet us, fior your approach to that city is different from any other city. Other cities, as you approach them, seem to retire, but this city, with its glittering minarets and pinnacles, seems almost to step into the water to greet you. But my landing there, that would have been to mo an exhilaration, was suddenly stunned with the tidings of the death of my intimate friend, Henry W. Grady. 1 could hardly believe the tidings, for I had left on my study-table at home letters and telegrams from him, those letters and telegrams having a warmth and geninity and a wit such as he only could express. The departure of no public man for many years has so affected me. For days I walked about as in a dream, and I resolved that, getting borne, I would for tho sake of his bereaved household, and for the sako of his bereaved profession, and for the sake of what he had been to me and shall continue to be as long as memory lasts, I would speak a word in appreciation of him—the most promising of Americans, and learn some of the salient lessons of his departure. I have no doubt that ho had enemies, for no man can Jive such an active life as he lived or be so far in advance of his time without making enemies, some because he defeated their projects, and some because he outshone them. Owls and bats never did like the rising sun. But I shall tell you how he appeared to me, and I am glad that I told hhh While he w^,s in full health what I thought of binMemorial orations and gravestone epitaphs are often mean enough, for they say of a man after he is dead that which ought, to have been said of him while living;. One garland for a living brow is worth more .than a mountain of japonicas and ealla lilies heaped on a funeral casket. By a little black volume of fifty pages, containing the eulogiums and poems uttered and written at the demise of Clay and Webster and Calhoun and Lincoln and Bumner, the world tried to pay for the forty years of obloquy it heaped upon those living giants. If I say nothing in praise of a man while he lives I will keep silent when he, is dead. Myrtle and weeping willow can never do what ought to have -been done by amaranth and palm branch. No amount of “Dead March in Saul” rumbling from big organs at the obsequies can atone for non-apprecia-tipn of the man before he fell on sleep. The hearse can not do what ought to have been done by chariot. But there are important things that need to he said about our friend, who was a prophet in American journalism and who only a few years ago heard the command of my text: Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen.

His lather dead, Henry TV. Grady, a hoy fourteen years of age, took ,up the battle of life. It would require a long chapter to record the names of orphans who have come to the top. When God takes away the head of the household he very often gives to some lad in that household a special qualification. Christ remembers how that liis own father died early, leaving Him to support Himself and Hi3 mother and His brothers Tn the carpenter's shop at Nazareth, and lie is in sympathy with all boys and all young men in the struggle. You say: “Oh, if my father had only lived I would have had a better education, and 1 would have bad a more promising start, and there are some wrinkles on my brow that. would not have been there.” But I have noticed that God makes a special way for orphans. You would not have been half the man you are if you had not been obliged from your early days to fight your own battles. What other boys got out of Yale or Harvard you got in the University of Hard Knocks. Go among successful merchants, lawyers, physicians and men of all occupations and professions, and there are many of them who will tell you: “At ten or twelve or fifteen years of age I started for myself; .father was sick, or father was dead. But somehow they got through and got up. I account for it by the fact that there is a special dispensation of God for orphans. All hail, the fatherless and the motherless! The. Lord Almighty will see you through. Early obstacles for Mr. Grady were only the means for development of his intellect and heart And, lo! when at thirty-nine years of age he put down his pen and closed his lips for his perpetual silence, he has done a work which many a man who, lives on to sixty end seventy and eighty years never accomplishes. There is a great deal of senseless praise of longevity, 'though it were a wonderful achievement to l:ivO(a good while. Ah, my frimd, it is not haw long we live, but how well we live an® how usefully we live. A man Who liVes to eighty years and accom plishnsTtbthing for God or humanity might/better have never lived at all. Mpjrfiusaleh lived nine hundred and sixty-nine yearsr and what did it amount to?,: In those mors* than nine centuries he did not accomplish any thing which seemed worth record. Paul lived only a little more than sixty, but how many Methusalehs would it take to make one Paul?., Who would nok rather have Paul's sirjjy" years than Methusaleh’s nine hundred and sixtynine? Robert MoCheyne died at thirtyyears of age and John Summerfield at twenty-seven years of age, but neither eaVth or Heaven will ever hear the end of their usefulness. Longevity! Why, an elephant can lsekt you at that, for it lives a hundred and fifty and two hundred years. Gray hairs are tho blossoms of the tree of life if.-found in the way of righteousness, but the frosts of t,be second death if found in the way of sin. OM 9i «« ¥wk iwwU

last spring printed a question and sent it to njpny people and among others to myself: “Can the editor of a secular journal he a Christian?” Some of the newspapers answered, No. 1 answered. Yes; and lest yon may not understand me I say. Yes, again. Summer before last riding with Mr. Grady from a religious meeting in Georgia on Sunday night, he said to me some things which I now rev«al for the first time because it is appropriate now that I reveal them. He expre&ed his complete* faith in the Gospel, and expressed.his astonishment and his grief that in our day so many .young men were rejecting Christianity. From the earnestness and the tenderness and the confidence with which 1»e spoke on these things I concluded that when Henry W. Grady made public profession of his faith in Christ and took his place at the holy communion in the Methodist church, he was honest and truly Christain. That conversation that Sunday night, first in the carriage and then resumed in the hotel, impressed me in such a way that when I simply heard of his departure without any of the particulars, I concluded that he was ready to go. I warrant there was no fright in the last exigency, but that he found what is commonly called “the last enemy” a good friend, and from his home on earth

ce went to a tome m Heaven. 1 es. Mr. Grady not only demonstrated that an editor may be a Christian, but that a very great intellect may be goepelized. His mental capacity was so wonderful that it was almost startling. I have been with him in active conversation while at the same time he was dictating to a stenographer editorials for the Atlanta Constitution. But that intellect was not ashamed to bow to Christ. Among his last dying utterances was a request for the prayers of the churches in his behalf. There was that particular quality in Him that you do not find in more than one person out of hundreds of thousands —namely, personal magnetism. People have tried to define that quality and always failed, yet we have all felt its power. There are some persons who have only to enter a room or step upon a platform or into a pulpit and you are thrilled by their presence, and when they speak your nature responds and you can not help it. What is the peculiar influence with which such a magnetic person takes hold of social groups and audiences? Without attempting to define this, which is indefinable, I will say it seems to correspond to the waves of air set in motion by the voice or the movements of the body. Just like that atmospheric vibration is the moral or spiritual vibration which rolls out from the soul of what we call a magnetic person. As there may be a cord or rope binding bodies together, there may be an invisible cord binding souls. A magnetic man t irows it over others as a hunter throws a lasso. Mr. Grady was surcharged with this influence, and it was employed for patriotism and Christianity and elevated purposes. You may not know why, in the Obnvorsation which I had with Mr. Gladstone a few weeks ago, he uttered these memorable words about Christianity, some of which were cabled to America. He was speaking in reply to this remark: I said, “Mr. Gladstone, we are told in America by some people that Christianity does very well for weakminded men and children in the infant class, but it is not fit for strongerminded men; but when we mention you, of such large intellectuality, as being a pronounced friend of religion, we silence their batteries.” Then Mr. Gladstone stopped on the hillside w here we were exercising and said: “The older I grow, the more confirmed I am in my, faith in religion.” “Sir,” said he, with flashing eye and uplifted hand, “talk about the questions of the day, there is but one question, and that is the Gospel. That can and will correct every thing. Do you have any of that dreadful agnosticism in America?” Having told him we had, he went on to say: “I am profoundly thankful that none of my children or kindred have been blasted by it. I am glad to say that about all the men at the top in Great Britain are Christians. Why, sir,” he said, I have been in public position fifty-eight years, and fortyseven years in the Cabinet of the British Government, and during those fortyseven years I have been associated with' sixty of the master minds of the cehtury, and all but five of the sixty wore Christiana” He then named the four leading physicians and surgeons of his country,

caning tnem Dy name ana remariting upon the high qualities of each of them, and added: “They are all thoroughly Christian.” My friends, I think it will ; he quite respectable for a little longer to he the friends of religion. William E. Gladstone,a Christian; Henry W.Grady,a Christian. What the greatest of Englishmen said of England is true of America and of all Christendom. The men at the top are the friends of God and believers in the sanctities of religion, the most\ eminent of the lawyers, the most eminent of the doctors, the most eminent of the merchants, and there are no better men in all our land than some of those who sit in editorial chairs. And if that does not correspond With your acquaintanceship, I am sorry that you have fallen into bad company. In answer to the question put last spring: “Can a secular journalist be a Christian?” I not only answered in the affirmative, but I assert that so great are the responsibilities of that profession, so Infinite and eternal the consequences of their obedience or disobedience of the words of my text:" “Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen,” and so many are the surrounding temptations that the men of no other profession more deeply need the defenses and the reinforcements of the grace ol God. And then look at the opportunities of journalism. I praise the pulpit and magnify my office, but I state a fact which you all know when I say that where the pulpit touches one person the press touches five hundred. The vast majority of people do not go to church, but all intelligent people read the newspapers. While, therefore, the responsibility of the ministers is great, the responsibility of editors and reporters is greater. Come, brother journalists, and get your ordination, not by the laying On of human hands, but by the laying on of the hands of the Almighty. To you is committed the precious reputation of men and the more precious reputatiou of women. Spread before our children an elevated literature. Make sin appear disgusting and virture admirable. lielieve good rather than evil. While you show up the hypocrisies of the Church, show up th e stupendous hypocrisies outside the Church. Be not, as some of you are, the mere echoes of public opinion; make public opinion. Let the great roll on which you writewlth a man’s pen berkmeasnre of light and liberty and kindness and an awakening of moral ‘er. But who is sufficient for these things? Not one of you without Divine help. But gOt that influence, and iho editors and reporters can go up and take this world for God and the truth. Thu mightiest opportunity in all the world for usefulness to-day is open before editors and re^ofters and publishers,whether of'knowledge on foot, as in .the book, or knowledge on the wing, as in the newspaper. 1 pray God, teen of the newspaper press, whether yon hike or read this sermon, that you may riss up to pirfull opportunity, and tb»t yon

may be divinely helped and rescued and blessed. Again, I remark that Henry W. Grady stood lor Christian patriotism irrespective of political spoils. He declined all official reward. He could have been Governor of Georgia, bnt refused it He could have been Senator of the United States, but declined it He remained plain Mr. Grady. Nearly all the other orators of the political arena, as soon as file elections are over, go to Washington, or Albany, or Harrisburg, or Atlanta, to get in city, or State or National office reward for their services, and not getting what they want, spend the rest of the time of that Administration in pouting about the management of public affairs or cursing Harrison or Cleveland. When the great political campaigns were over Mr. Grady went home to his newspaper! 'He demonstrated that it is possible to toil for principles which he thought to be right, simply because they were right. Chriatian patriotism is too rare a commodity in this country. Surely the joy of living under such free institutions as those established here ought to be enough reward for political fidelity. Among all the great writers that stood at the last presidential election on Democratic and Republican platforms you can not recall in your mind ten who were not themselves looking for remunerative ap

pointments. Aye, yon can count them all on the fingers of one hand. The most illustrious specimen of that style of man for the last ten years was Henry W. Grady. Again, Mr. Grady stood for the new South, and was just what we want to meet three other men, one to speak for the new North, another for the new East and another for the new West. The bravest speech made for the last quarter of a century was that made by Mr. Grady at the New England dinner in New York about two or three months ago. I sat with him that evening and know something of his anxieties, for he was to tread on dangerous ground, and might, by one misspoken word, have antagonized forever eboth sections. His speech was a victory that thrilled all of us who heard him and all who read him. That speech, great for wisdom, great for bravery, will go down to the generations with Webster’s speech at Bunker Hill, William AVirt’s speech at the arraignment of Aaron Burr, Edmund Burke’s speech on Warren Hastings, Robert Emmet’s peech for his own vindication. Who will inconspicuous action represent the new North as he did the new South? Who shall come forth for the new East and who for the new West? Let old political issues be buried, let old grudges die. Let new theories be launched. With the coming in of a new nation at the gates of Castle Garden every year, and the wheat bin and corn crib of our land enlarged with every harvest, and a vast multitude of our population still plunged in illiteracy to be educated, and moral questions abroad involving the very existence of our republic. let the old political platforms that are worm eaten be dropped and platforms that shall be made of two planks, the one the Ten Commandments and the other the Sermon on the Mount’ lifted for all of us to stand on. But there is a lot of old politicians grumbling all around the sky who don't want a new South, a new North, a new East or a new West. They have some old war speeches that they prepared in 1801, that in all our autumnal elections they feel cdlled upon to infiiot upon the country. They growl louder and longer in proportion as they are pushed back further and further and the Henry W. Gradys come to the front. But the mandate, I think, has gone forth from the throne of God that a new American nation shall take the place - of the old and the new has been baptized for God and liberty and justice and peace and morality andoreligion. And now our much-lamented friend has gone to give account. Suddenly the facile and potent pen is laid down and the eloquent tongue is silent. What? Is. there no safeguard against fatal disease? The impersonation of stout health was Mr. Grady. What compactness of muscle! What ruddy complexion! What flashing eye! Standing with him in a group of twenty or thirty persons at Piedmont, he looked the healthiest, as his spirits were the blithest. Shall we never feel again the hearty grasp of his hand, or be magnetized with his eloquence? Men of the great roll, men of the pen, men of wit, men of power, if our friend had to go when the call came, so must you when your call comes. When God asks you what have you done

with your pen or your eloquence or your wealth or your social position, will you be able to give satisfactory answer? What bare wo been writing all those years? If mirth, has it been innocont mirth, or that which tears and stings and lacerates. From our pens have there come forth productions healthy or poisonous? In the last great day when the warrior must give account of what he has done with his sword, and the merchant what he has done with his yardstick, and the mason what he has done with his trowel, and the artist what he has done with his pencil, we shall have to give account of what we have done with out pens. There are gold pens and diamond pens and pens of exquisite manufacture, and every few weeks I see some new kind of pen, each said to be better than the other; but in the great day of onr arraignment before the Judge of quick and dead that will be the most beautiful pen, whether gold or steel or quill, which never wrote a profane or unclean or cruel word, or which from the day it was carved, or split at the nib, dropped from its point kindness and encouragement andJ help and gratitude to God and benediction for man. But there is, and the friends who have gone there are many and very dear. O tearful eyes, look up to the kills crimsoning with eternal morn! That reunion kiss will more than make up for the parting kiss, and the welcome will obliterate the good-bye. “The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” Till then, O departed loved ones, promise us that you will remember us, as we promise to remember you. And some of you gone up from this city by the sea and others from under Southern skies, and others from the homes of the more rigorous North, and some from the cabins on great Western farms, we shall meet again when our pen has written its last word, and our arm has done its last day’s work, and our Ups have spoken the last adieu. And now, thou great and magnificent soul of editor and orator! under brighter skies we shall meet again. From God thou earnest, and to God that has returned. Not broken down, but ascended. Not collapsed, but irradiated. Enthroned one! Coroneted one! Sceptered one! Emparadised one! -Bail and farewell. _ —It is a fact well known to pigeon fanciers that the two eggs laid hy pigeons almost invariably produce male and female.

FARM AND GARDEN. A GRINDSTONE REST. „ | Pat Tow Grindstone in Order—This Article Tells Tea How. If the stone is out of proper circular fonn. it should be turned ofT by holding a piece of wrought iron, such as an old bolt or piece of bur Iron, flat on the bench, keeping it firmly, in place; not letting it work ln^»r out, but wearing off the high places until the stone is uniformly concentric with the axil. If the stone loses its sharpness of gri t and dqes not grind well, it is because the ' pores have become- filled with particles | of steel, which can be removed ty the same process tits above, using soft wrought iron. The rest shown i n the engraving is for bolding in the right position the article to be ground, sc as to grind it to a uniform beveL. For making the rest, take two strips of hard wood. six feet long and one and t-half inches square; place the ends one inch apart at one end, and two feet it the other. Cut a piece of wood an inc 1 and a-half thick and ten inches long, so it | will fit the narrow end. Cut a a milar 1 one six inches wide, and long enoi gh to go eighteen inches into the wid e end, and nail firmly together, havir x the frame, when toge ther, even or flu ,h on both sides. Bore a hole in the i Addle of the narrow eh: piece, and drive in an iron pin having :i sharp point, p ojecting about an inch. An old the e-cor-nered file is the best for this pu -pose, leaving the tang out. Then place apiece of hard wood half an inch thick anil, six inohes wide , over

A convenient grindstone rf t. the long cross-piece, fastening it' here by putting a two-and-a-half-inch crew through both er :1s into -the side trip, letting this piece project out aho t an inch beyond the side strip. Roui 1 off the corners of the projecting ei is of the side strip for handles. The halfinch, hard-wood cross-piece is usei as a clamp placing the article to be g innd between that and the cross-piece and tightening by two screws. Plac the stone near the side of a buildi g or post, far enough away so that the harp point in the na .tow end of the 1: >lder can be stuck in t;ie post, and brin ; the article to be ground in its proper position above the st >ne. The pointed, end can be raised or lowered to fit the evel of the tool to bo ground, and also to allow of Its bei ig moved sidewhs on the stone. The person using it needs only to guide it »nd give the necessary pressure by takii g hold of both handles. The stone sh< aid have a wate.'-box placed under it md fastened to a leg of the frame, comin g high enough to allow the stone to rest in the water when in use. The box st ould havs a plug near the bottom to let the water off when not in use, as it' inj ires the stone for one part to stand it. water, causing it to wear away uneve nly, and to freeze up in winter. >_ SCAB ON SHEEP. A Sheep Raiser Gives His Sletbod of Ti eatment. I have hadharre experience with scab on sheep and ha' e had good success in curing it. I have never failed in a single instance. I sond to some large tobacco house tad buy the coarse, heavy leaf toba co, which is cheap— from six to nine tents per pound. Use about fifty pound s to one hundred sheep or enough to mate s very strong solution; boil it and lip while as hot as you can bear your ha id in it Make a vat five feet deep, eighteen inches wide, two feet long at tottom, six feet long at top one end ruining out like a hopper. Then nail cleats on inside for the sheep to walk out on Vithout slipping. Set the vat in the ground, about three and a-half feet so th 3 top will be just below a man’s knees; hen make a slanting platform at the end of the vat where the sheep go out with the end in the vat to save the liquid that drains from the sheep This should be large enough to hold thirty or forty sheep at once if your flock is laiye. Fill the vat three-quarters full of the solution. Catch your sheep by one fore leg and one hind leg and hold it over the vat with its head the lowest; then let go, and he sure that it goes under all over, so you may kill all the ticks and nits. As soon as the sheep finds it is loose it will turn over, and, its head

being at the-- copper end of the vat, it will walk out on the platform, where you can let them stand and drain wnilo you refill your vat. You need have no fears :>bout the tobacco injuring their eyes or ears, for I have dipped several thousa nd in that way. If the weather is cold crowd your sheep in a warm rijom for two or three days, only letting them out long enough to eat. The drippings on their hay wi'l not hurt, and by putting them in the ir old shed while wet it will kill all nits If the wool is short and weather a arm you may have to dip them two 01 three times before you effect a perma: ent cure, but as it will not take much juice and is not much trouble at tha time of. the year do not neglec t it.—Bit eder’s Gazette.

The truth is that them is not the slightest care taken to produce fast walkers.

EDUCATIONAL BREVITIES. It is said that the University of Michigan is the only college in the United States in which the principles of dramatic composition are taught. > The University Extension work of England, inaugurated in 1873 by Prof. Stuart, of Trinity College, Cambridge, Eng., now numbers sixty thousand pupils and is gaining more rapidly than ever. It is estimated that there are over 100,000 Chinamen in this country. Onefourth of these have been brought under instruction in the various Sundayschools provided for them, of which there are now nearly 100 in the United States. The Word-Carrier is the title of a little paper published at the Santee agency in the interests of schools and missions among the Dakota Indians. We quote its platform, which, as coming directly from and expressing the desire of Indians, is significant: ‘‘For Indians wo want American education! We want American homes! We want American rights! The result of which is American citizenship! And the Gospel is the power of God for their salvation!”

He was a bright, handsome boy of sixteen, sunny-tempered, brilliant and engaging, the delight, of his parents, the joy or his home, and the pride of his class. But a shadow fell across his bright prospects. It began with a trifling cough; soon came premonitions of consumption, * his strength failed, *his cheeks grew hollow, and he seemed doomed to an early grave. Then a friend advised Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery. He tried it and was saved. Health and strength returned, his cheerful voice rang out again across the school playground, his cheeks again grew rosy, his eyes bright ne is still “the pride of his class’’ and he graduates this year with highest honors. • ' Chronic Nasal Catarrh positively cured by Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
