JENNY LIMBS MOTIVE.

Years ago we heard Jenny Lind sing
in the Messiah. She revealed, by her
rendering OF "I know that my Redeemer
liveth," the ability of song to interpret
the sublimest OF themes.
She sang, "Ihough worms destroy
this kody yet in my flesh ! shall see
God" with tone and a phrasing that
made the doctrine of the resurrection
luminous.
"She must be n Christian, )" We
unused, as we went out from the con-
cert hall, "else she never could have
given these vivid expositions of faith
in the Lord who rose again from the
dead"
The musing of forty years ago was
confirmed, the other day, by reading
the "reminiscences of the Rev. G, A.
Wilkinson. the English chaplain 70 the
King Of Hanover. He met Jenny Lind
just after she had signed her contract
to sing in the United States.
In the course of their conversation
she mentioned the great ignorance of
the lower classes in Stockholm, and
their indifference to the education of
their children
II have" she said, determined to
endow schools for these poor little
children. My motive in going to
America is to earn ESQ., 900, which 1 in
tend to hand over to trustees who will
carry out my plans.
"May not, sir, hope for Gods bless
ing upon this work, undertaken for the
lambs of Christ's flock? My daily
prayer is that I may be spared three
years, so that I may carry out my plans
for my poor little children in Stock
holm, Is there anything in that prayer
inconsistent with submission to the will
of God?"
One morning, after charity concert
which she had given. the clergyman
found her counting and sealing up the
money received preparatory to dis
tributing it among the poor. He be-
gan mplimcnting her. but she cut him
short by saying:
"It is the only return I can make
unto the good Lord for the gift He has
bestowed upon me, which is the great
Joy of my life. I can only repay him
through the poor and the suffering.
This I delight to do"
When Bishop Stanly, of Norwich,
the father of Dean Stanly, was sneered
at for receiving professional singer
into the Episcopal palace" the "pro-
fessional" being Jenny Lind, he re-
piled:
II always wish to honor virtue and
talent wherever I may find them. As
to my friendship with Jenny Lind, I
have no hesitation in saying that I con-
slider that 1 am the person benefited.
For [ never converse with her without
feeling myself better man."
The chaplain says he endorses that
compliment as the literal truth, for he,
himself, never departed from
her society without feeling himself a
better man for having conversed with
her.
Her soul and heart seemed absorbed
in the thought Of obeying st. James
rule:
Pure religion and undefled before
God and the Father is this, to visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted from
the world. p--Youths' COMPANION,

1iu0uot VI "A hopeless quest. :
New York, u. Y.
But why make short story long? Mina's
romance had come! She slept but little
that night, and the next day she sat down
and wrote little note-this is all she said:
Richard Fdron
DEAR SIR II have read "A Hopeless Quest. I"
It was that which inspired me with "A Day of
Life" Yours truly.
NINA KELSEY,
Why should that have brought Richard
,Faxon, Esq, Banker, of New York, to
Sommerville, Conn. But it did.
Andnow, when they take twilight walks
together, and talk and dream of the future,
Nina sometimes asks, laughingly: "Rich-
ard, what if Mrs. Sturdevant had set that
story in bourgeois?" And he merrily re-
plies: sOh, l should have found you
somehow"

The Work the Negro Loves.
[By BW Azp.l

The negro loves to plow and split
rails. He is perfectly happy when
following mule on summer day,
and happier still when the horn
blows for dinner and he can ride
home sideways. The mule is happy
too, and answers the horn with a
cheerful bray. 1t is astonishing how
much sense an old farm mule has got
l knew one that when it was most din
rer time kept one ear back toward
the louise when he was plowing. the
other way and kept both forward
when he was coming back. One day
I blowed the horn about IL o'clock
to see what Beck would do. She
was at the end of the row, and it took
the darkey ten minutes to make her
turn round and go to ploughiug a
gain. But it is fun to see the darkies
when a summer rain comes up.
They will plough on until the shower
comes, and then mount and lope
home and get vet all over, and by
that time, the rain is over, and they
have to go back again. The darkey
takes more care of his head than
his feet. He don't want his head to
get wet or cold. He sleeps with his
head to the fire and covers it up good,
and lets his feet stick out any way.
He will warm his hands before he
Will his toes. There is one thing
that a darkey can do better thar a
white man. He can beat as making
fires on q. cold MiutrY morning.

:'they getnotaing." Is this mere fight
of rhetoric, or is it intended as a state
ment of facts capable of proof? VIII
these farmers, or the composers of the
scall," be kind enough to tell their
fcllow-farmers if there is, or ever has
been, any discrimination practiced
against the sous Of the farmers when
entering the College or Citadel? Do
not they stand on the same plane as
the sons of other citizens who are to
become ssour future masters" Don't
the farmers in every county in the
State know of farmers sons receiving
as good education as any one else, and
making as good records? In making
this charge, they surely must have
forgotten that there are now in the
South Carolina College some eighty
farmers sans, pure and simple, and
some ten or twenty more whose faith
ers combine some other business with
that of Agricultural At the Citadel
there are thirty-two benefciaries, the
sons of farmers, representing twenty
two counties, three of them being
from Edgeield.
Again we pay $4,000 annually by
specific tax, which comes out of the
farmer alone, to sustain a Department
of Agriculture. Is this fair and
true statement? Ny idea is that this
tax of twenty-five cents per ton is paid
by the manayacturers Of fertilizers for
which sum each one of them receives
a number of tags, one of which is re-
quired to be affixed to every bag sold,
as guarantee that the article is real
lv what the analysis represented it to
be; and in case fraud should be de-
tected in any samples the manufactur-
er would he liable, not only for heavy
penalties, but also to loss of business.
We might, possibly, get our fertilizers
twenty-five cents per ton cheaper We're
there no tax tag, and no security
against fraud, but even that is very
doubtful; and as it can't be proved

At last the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
seems to have secured Independent en-
trance into New York, under working ar
raugement with the New Jersey Central road,
the essential details of which will be found
elsewhere in to-days paper. The country at
large not less than the national capital, is to be
congratulated on this result. That the vast in.
terests involved between the seat of govern
nent and the great commercial and financial
center OF the United States should so long be
dependent upon a single line of railway com
munication has been at once a source of sur
prise and concern, and now that obstacles
which formerly prevented relief have been
removed 1t is to be hoped that the benefits of
cheaper rates of passage and freight will
speedily be enjoyed. The prospective opening
OF the new road has already secured material
concessions to the public from the existing
wellmanaged line. and when the pressure of
actual and active competition is felt il cannot be
doubted that Others still more important mus
follow.

The call for ten millions of bonds, by Acting
Secretary Fairchild, includes the usual
monthly demand of four or five million for
the sinking fund account, and an ertra five or
six million which can be, and probably will be,
applied directly to the reduction of the debt.
This Is in the line proposed by the Morrison
surplus resolution, but Ii will not justify any
hasty conclusion as to the future policy of the
Treasury department.. This ten million call
might have been made If no Morrison resolu u
luton were in existence; and there is nothing

The latest report respecting the Mexican

Investigate the Cutting case from the Mexican
point of view. in the hope ana belief that such
q course will clear every thing up and settle the
pending trouble satisfactorily to all concerned
The proposition is unique, and will hardly
prove acceptable in its original and simple
form- But the principle of arbitration, which it
recognizes, Is the true principle for the two
nations To adopt in this emergency, and there
Is scarcely doubt that if sincerely and consci-
entiousiy applied it will serve To effect peace
with honor"
