VISITING THE SICh.

Among the very first duties imposed On
Christians. and the most beautiful graces
that adorn the Christian character, is that
Of visiting the sick. How great Is the
drcariness Of the sick room; the sadness
and how often the hopelessness of the valley
of the shadow Of confinement and helpless
ness, and the waiting the last messenger
blessed is the man or woman that has the
gift and grace Of visiting the sick. Blessed
i, the eve that can kindle spark Of light
in a failing, langushing eye, that can
awaken glow in a gloomy bosom and sci
up hope where despair only brooded; thai
can make the wilderness 10 be glad, and
the desert to referee and blossom rs ihe
rose: vet that is the high calling, and iamll-
lar business of the children Of the kingdom.
And is il not a grace. me-
nm accomplishment worth havings How
richly does il pay the individual, who has a
knack for it. who succeeds in the glorious
business What divine blessings OF patience
of submission. Of hope. of faith, are to Ice
gotten from the sufferer in the sick room To
whom one lends unseldsh, respectful, kind
ly sympathy
But the i'll are not all in dark chambers
and hospitals. They are sick "in mind
BODY and estate" all along the streets. And
the good man who wants to visit the sick
has not far to 20 to find them. Every man
is learned i'm this lore. and can tell OF sad
cases he knows now, met this morning, or
the day before yesterday. His own
heart sorrow, or painful responsibility,
or modification. he shiinks from telling.
But il is no fancy. 1t is too real. II was a
good thing the old Mahometan said TO his
s0E: "My son. compassion is a duty that
YOU owe TO all mankind" Then. why shall
one coniine his yisitati0ns 10 the sick
in body. while the sick at heart are
all around hun. "wearied with disaster
tugged with fortune" used andshabituated
To disappointment and taking slishis as
their daily lot with hearts bowed down. 1t
will not do to mark these or minister
to them directly. The familiar min
istrations Of Just and honorable ap-
probation, of respect, of consideration, are
always in place, always tonic. stimulating,
healthy. The incidental and unconscious
kind acts, the daily walk and conversation
Of kind good man fall like the gentle dew
from Heaven, and lift up the head and
heart Of all who feel their influence The
word in season to him who is weary. is

Frederick Ertel and ID. Leubrie, adj
vance agents and staff CORES pondeuts
for Frank Leslie. These gentlemen
are arranging for a thorough adver-
tisement of the state, through a spe-
cial edition of Leslie's Weekly. They
are surveying the ground, and it they
meet with the requisite encourage
ment they will be followed by the
Leslie car Of observation, with its ar
lists and reporters and leading repre-
sentativeS of the great dailies OF New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Bos-
ton and st. Louis. w. j. Arkell
and Russell Harrison, owners Of
Leslie's, are the Ori%lnators of the
scheme. They will write up Texas,
giving a description of what they see,
showing her growth, her resources
and all that is 50 necessary to be
known concerning her to induce CAPT
tai and brains 10 enter the state and
aid in her development. The scheme

few days and on their return Will as
certain what San Antonio will do to
aid in this work. The LIGHT cannot
emphasize too thoroughly the neces-
ity OF meeting this proposition of
Lesle's in the mostliberal and broad
minded manner. No better way of
attracting TO San Antonio the notice
of capital and the inspection of pros
pective investment could we'll he
devised, aud it is an opportunity
which should be eagerly embraced
by our people. When these advance
agents return the LIGHT hopes to see
them met ia Il spirit fitting the real
importance of their work and the
