West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-18

Mr.. De Mennie was not very
much interested in the meeting.
The hymns, addresses and prayers
drifted by him, as he sat there, his
mind duly going over his own
troubles and perplexities. But
presently he awakened to a less
languid feeling, for Roberts was on
his feet, and praying.
Now, Roberts had seen affliction
of a very marked sort. When a
man is old and feeble, and has bu-
ried the last of six strong sons, boys
of whom any father has a right to
be proud, and that in the space of
three years, he is not unlike Job.
He may we'll say, "What IS my
strength that / should hope, and
what is mine end, that 1 should
prolong my life % Mr.. De Mennie
thought of his own beautiful flock
at home, and then of Roberts great
empty house, and he would not
have changed places with him,
though the sails of the latter's
ships whitened the oceans and his
fortune went on piling itself up
while men slept.
What was the man saying? He
had forgotten to use the 1--WE" pecu-
culiar to public prayer, and had
fallen into the first person, as if
only he and God were present.
81 cannot doubt thy goodness,
Lord. Nothing can ever make me
feel that thou art unkind. Moth
ing can take from me the feeling
of thy love and tenderness and
care" When the brief meeting
was at an end, promptly as the
hour struck one, Mr.. De Mennie
and his friend resorted to a neigh
boring eating house, where they
sat down to a comfortable meal.
There Mr.. Gilmore explained that
IN the last few months he had be-
come Christian, and had entered
on a life of love and trust, as sim
pie as that of a child at his fathers
knee. There was a little more
talk, and then a question or two
drew from Mr.. De Mennie the con-
fession that his lack of business
was wearing upon him, that his re-
sources were nearly exhausted, and
that he was growing more disheart-
ened daily.
Sometimes there is great strength
for US in the pressure .~of a friend
ly hand. Sometimes the mere tell
ing of trouble in Il sympathetic
ear, lessons it. So it was with our
friend. When he parted from Mr..
Gilmore and went homeward, his
step was freer, and his hopes were
brighter than they had been for
days.
Why?
He had taken lesson in looking
out of himself and up to God. He
had adopted the word Of Mr.. Rob-
erts, with an instructive feeling of
their perfect simplicity and since
rity. AS he wendell his way up
town he thought of the words of a
hymn he had heard Elsie singing,
for Elsie was the home song-bird.
81 can never doubt his goodness,
must ever trust his love,
By n cord that cannot sever,
am bound to my home above.
And so, upon my journey,
Henceforth will walk by faith,
Till come to fuller vision,
On the other side of DEATH"
There generally comes to people
in trouble, time when they touch
bottom.

THE NEEDS OF THE SOUTH
From the Chattanooga Tradesman,

From the Chattanooga Tradesman.
How shall the South secure the
expenditure among her own people
of at least round share of the mil
hons that now annually float TO the
North and East and are there dis
tributed in the form of dividends or
boarded in bonds and savings banksT
"God helps those who help them
selves" If the South would be free
from her commercial, industrial and
agricultural bondage she must her
self knock off the shackles. We have
now waited nearly twenty years for
outside capital to come in and possess
itself of our magnificent resources,
and yet the few really great achieve
ments in the manufacture of crude
and finished materials have been the
work of our own citizens. What our
people must learn, and what they
seem to learn with painful slowness,
is the power money acquires when
combined under single head as
compared to what it can accomplish
when scattered in many hands,

WOMAN.
HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!
SOMETHING NEW Under THE SUN

By reason of her peculiar relations,
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want Of knowledge, OF Of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social crgani-
cation The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to adegree which
no language can express. In the man
sions ofthe rich and the hovel of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, AMI
which none but she could endure-and
without remedy. But now the hour
Of her redemption has come. She need
not suffer longer, when she can find re-

least not to meet with the highest

MYSTERIES OF THE SURF.

Surf bathing is revelation l went
In yesterday with lovely and modest
woman from tire FpeFthzwisss whom I had
but short acquaintance, although had
seen good deal of her. As we stood
awaiting the coming of huge wave, she
clutched my arm, and posing herself on
one foot, Bonded the other leg and pulled
Ter stocking over her knee-trying vainly
to make it cover a strip of white. She
thought nothing of this-neither did I. In
an instant the wave was on us, and we
were riding the swell as happy as pair of
ducks.
That evening this lady went sailing with
the same party that had been bathing with
her in the morning. As she stepped over
the side of the boat she exposed about four
inches of her pretty silk stockings, and her
face was crimsoned with modification and
shame.
Now, why this difference 1t was ex.
actly the same limb that bad been exposed
to the knee ali the morning without any
thought of confusion. AS l camo into the
hotel corridor yesterday young lady
screamed:
