speak for them for few Sundays. Her
talks-she did not call them sermons
were so admirable for their unity, per-
spicuity and brevity that a constantly
increasing audience came to hear her, and
she was soon invited to become the
stated supply.
AS time went on tie young evangelist
grew more and more popular. Seven
and eight hundred people went every
Sunday to hear her and, although she was
not an ordained minister, she not only
preached the word, but comforted the dy-
ing and those who were laying their dead
away, and helped many souls TO new hope
and courage. She could not, however, ad-
minister the sacrament nor baptize those
who through the influence Of her preach
ing desired to join the church. But not
withstanding this the church rapidly in
creased in membership and financial
resources.
She had taken a thorough course in
theology, and the church which she had
saved from disintegration demanded for
her formal recognition. This was, how
ever, refused by the general assem- bly, Of
Congregationalministers and the church
therefore resolved to Ordain Miss Baker
Independent Of that body. The cere-
mony Of her installation was quaint and
simple, the venerable Deacon Folgar Of
floating, and the newly ordained pastor
preaching her own ordination sermon.
Not only a powerful preacher, able to
help humanity to a clearer moral sense
and higher ideal, Miss Baker is also
writer of most graceful and subtle poetry
and vigorous, clear sentenced prose.
Her latest work is a volume Of poems
called by the Sea-" Gentle, earnest
and modest she writes as she speaks,
with ease but with force which touches
the heart and inspires to nobler effort.

WHERE SHE COMES.

With heavy elders overhung,
Half hid In clover masses,
An old fence rambles on, among
Tie tangled meadow grasses
II makes shade for lady fern
Which nestles close beside il;
While clematis, at every turn,
And roses almost hide it
In shade Of overhanging sprays
And down a sunny hollow,
By hazel coTEe. and woodland ways
The winding fence follow;
By rose and thorn and fragrant dew,
In search Of something sweeter-
The orchard gap where she comes through.
And l 20 down to meet herl
The sunlight slants along the fence,
Where lichens gray II over,
And stirs hundred dreamy scents
From fern and mint and clover;
But though the air is sweet today
know OF something sweeter:
That she can only come this way,
AID am sure 10 meet herl
And so, while chipmunks run a match
To tell the wrens who's coming,
And all across the brier patch
There sounds drOwsy humming-
The hum of honey seeking bees
l seek for something sweeter:
A gap amongst the apple trees,
Where l am going TO meet her!

He Got the job.

Farmer Crane, who lives over on the
town line, has some very unique meth
DDS Of examining the men who apply to
kim from time to time for work.
One evening a tall, big boned fellow,
in his shirt sleeves, asked Crane if he had
any work to DO.
Il don't know" said the farmer.
Can you tend horses"
"Yes, indeedy. I've worked about
horses all my life"
Come around here to the pump, said
Crane, and he led the way to common
sucker rod pump near the barn. Going
inside he got long. narrow pitcher, and
placed it under the spout There"
said he, pump that pitcher full Of wa

carefully pumping the pitcher full with
out spilling a single drop.
"Thatll do" said Crane. "Go inside
and get ready for supper; I'll give you
job in the morning
About a week later the big boned fell
low asked Crane what pumping the
pitcher full Of water had to do with his

We'll, I'll just tell you. This is
mighty dry weather. and water is get
ting scarce. You must have thought
that far, for you didn't spill any water.
If you hadn't pumped hard the water
would have been spilled. and If you had
pumped too hard the water would have
gone over the pitcher. Now, the way
argue Is this: If fellow don't pump

a boston Mans Mistake.

The latest story OF Southern outrage
is no less shocking than many that have
preceded it. This time a Yankee drum.
mer was given to understand that some
citizens Of Laurens, South Carolina,
only believe in the American principle
OF free speech when they indulge in 1t
themselves.
G. F. Rich, OF Boston, lectured 10 an
audience composed wholly Of negroes at
Mount pizsah Colored Presbyterian
Church, at Lautens, and gave them q
talk on Temperance and morality.
Among other things he told them they
should refuse to work on Sunday. The
telegraphic reports state that tho whites
upon receiving this information, or
ganized q party to take the drummer in
charge. Tuesdry night, after the I'D.
dress ut the church. Nj. Rich was
stopped on the streets while he was re.
turning to the hotel by q band OF about
twenty heavily masked men, who Sc.
verely whipped him with switches. The
mistake Mr.. Rich made was in placing
himself On an equality ,rith the negroes BY
addressing than as Mr.. and Mrs"
1t is hard to believe that, in this age,
a citizen Of the United States should BIZ
brutally beaten for preaching temper
ance and morality to colored people, and
yet the above instance is only a sample
OF the many that have occurred. The
story carries with it its own comment.
Nothing can be added to the plain facts
which will give them greater force ss
demonstrating the beauties Of freedom
as she is in South Carolina.
The Boston man made two ''mig.
takes" first in advising the negroes to
be temperate and moral; second, in
placinghimself on IN equality with them
by calling them Mr.. and Mrs" These
things appear to be heinous in the eyes
Of the chivalric citiz,us OF Laurcns, and
the man who dares to commit them must
take the consequences. South Carolina
should avenge the outrage. Nobody
will dispute its rights as u Sovereign
State" to institute such proceedings as
will demonstrate that her system Of
'local government" is efficient enough
to protect the rights guaranteed to every
citizen by the constitution Of the United
States. 81.
In contrast to the ideas that prevail
in many portions Of the South regarding
the negro's right to elevate himself to
high position ii he can, are those which
prevail throughout the North, The dis.
patches this morning relate that a col.
ored mat won the prize for defamation
in the annual competition at Harvard
College. 10 do SO he entered the con.
test with white students. 1t is even
probable that his fellow students ad-
dressed him ms "Mr." when they con.
graduated him on his success. The
chivalric citizens OF Laurens, South Car.
olinn, would doubtless be greatly
shocked to hear the distinguished mem.
bers OF the Harvard faculty address the
negro as "Mr." Up to this writing We
have not heard OF Harvard College being
mobbed by White Caps for permitting
such shocking social improprieties.
