'In Spite Of Doubts or DOgmas, Let
Us Hope There is 4 Better WOrld."
From His Recent Sermon.


There are a great many men who
say with TyndalI: "If you present
God as poem, can accept it, but if
you present Him as fact, resist il. 1"
NO PROOF OF GOD.
say: There is no evidence; 1. Is
not proven" There are realities
which cannot be proven; The formu-
la eau demonstrate itself, and the in
tellect discerns things by the aid of
the Imagination that it cannot dis
Germ without 1t. Reasonings are no
more than spider-webbings. That
which comforts must be accepted as
true, although it cannot be proven by
any direct line of evidence. Take,
for instance, the pictures of the Vir-
gin Mary, which are the objects of
such veneration to devout Roman
Catholics. They are not really the
Virgin Mary; they don't even look
like her; but they are a representa-
ton of the tenderness of the mother
toward the child, and that ten nderness
is reality. l, too, hang the pictures
in my parlor and in my bedroom ;
and 1, too, am a wOrshipper of the
Virgin. worship the tender, loving
spirit of God out of which theology
has cheated us. Put that in theology
and you will not want any pictorial
illustration.
"OLD MEN" ANGELS.
So as to ministering angels; 1 new
er thought of an angel except with
wings. l never thought of an angel
painted with wings that it did not
look like an old hen to me. IGreat
laughter. So with ministering
angels. The moment you apply to
them all that belongs to them, that
moment you destroy them. A French
philosopher once said, very truly /:
Everybody believes In God until
you attempt to prove his existence. "
THE IMAGINARY HEAVEN.
Take the existence of the soul in
heaven-that is, mere question OF
reason, without evidence such as be-
longs to regulated forms of matter
and it is full of Obscurities. Bullet 1t
hang in the realm of the Imagination,
and it is not only the product of the
Imagination of one man, but of all the
nations throughout the growth OF
time. 1t Is the Imagination that has
been resped, and threshed, and win
moved. and grown into the very bread
of life. It is not any poem or notion; It
Is the work, the final work ofimagina-
ton of the human race, speaking all
languages, under all governments; it
is the result to which men cOme-that
death doesn't stop human life; it goes
on unending." Mr.. BeecheT here
spoke Of the recent address of Robert
Ingersoll at the funeral of his brother,
and In this relation said of Mr.. Inger-

Prepare for the sicl1Iy Season.
Rural World
Everything about the house at this
season should be kept scrupulously
neat. Have no cesspools of filth hear
the house. See that the drains and
sewers are thoroughly washed out md
kept clean. See hat the vaults ofthe
outhouses are cleaned out and kepl as
clean as possible. Poisonous air plis-
ons the system and brings on maltri-
Gus and typhoid diseases. See HAT
the water that is used is pure. Mny
wells r poisoned by the filthy water
thrown out OF the house. or by tle
vaults being too near them. Cisten
water is frequently poisoned by ou-
house vaults being too near. TIE
cement is no impediment to the pas
sage of the poisonous acids and gases
they contain. Cellars should be thor
oughly cleansed, whitewashed AMI
ventilated. Bad air in cellars hal
poisoned thousands. Fresh lime SHOULD
be scattered on cellar floors. Nh,
sickly season is upon us and we mus
prepare for it. 1t is better to spend
fifty dollars in cleaning up than hall
the amount in doctors bills.

SOUTHERN TRADE.
With a Few River Items.

In spite of the fever a large freight
traffic is going on between St. Louis,
Cairo and the South. The Mississippi
Central railroad started II loaded
cars from Cairo toward the South
last Friday, and a full cargo for Mem
phis was offered to the Ohio river
steamer Fannie Tatum on the same
day.
The towboat Sam Roberts left St.
Louis for New Orleans last Saturday
with four barges containing 100000
bushels bulk grain.
The John A. Wood left Cairo for
New Orleans on Sunday last with 81
barges of coal.
The Gold Dust left St. Louis on
Friday last with all she wanted on the
present stage of water.
The depth Of water in the channel
at Hat Island, half way between St.
Louis and Cairo. is only five and a
half feet, and at last accounts the
towboats My Choice and John Means,
with barges, and the steamer John A.
Scudder were aground there.
The City of Greenville for Vicks-
burg and the Yeager for New Orleans
left st. Louis last Thursday.
The new steamer Rapid Transit,
VIM. j.. Ashford, master; William
Smithers, clerk, is expected to arrive
here from the Ohio about two weeks
hence, and will enter the lower coast
trade without delay.

Advance the Line.

1t has been suggested that the lead
ing men of the Louisville railroad
could not do a more appropriate act
than to promote Mr.. John Burns to
the vacant place Of general manager
at this end of the line, a place long
and worthily filled by Mr.. John T.
Flynn. Mr.. Burns has won general
praise among the people here for his
attention to duty, his courtesy to per-
ons with whom he comes in contact,
and for the pleasant greeting he has
for everybody. A prudent business
man, with long experience in railroad
ing, the company would enhance their
own interests by promoting Mr.. Burns,
and at the same time would do a com
mendable act for a gentlemaniy and
deserving employee.

The EARL OF MAYFIELD. is the
title Of a new and powerful Novel, by
a distinguished American author,
now in press and to be published in a
few days by 7. B. Peterson & Broth
ers, Philadelphia. The opening
scenes are laid in Louisiana during
the early days of the Rebellion, the
hero is a rich planter, and the heroine
is lovely example of pure woman
hood. The old English home is very
likely a correct photograph of an
ideal house, as many similar ones
exist in that identical locality. 1t
has the advantage of having but few
characters, with good descriptions,
excellent dialogues, well sustained
interest, and contains all the elements
Of a successful novel, the whole being
well told, within the limits Of proba-
bility, and it will no doubt prove to be
a great success. 1t will be issued in
uniform style with the works of Mrs.
Southworth, in a large ~duodecimo
volume of 800 pages, bound in vellum
cloth, black and gold, price $3.50.
