The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-03-23

A pleasure long anticipated BY
many Of our people was realized
when Rev. w. G. Black, ID. d., of
Jackson, Miss, came TO Rocky
Springs church, on Tuesday even
ing, March LIT, and delivered his
famous lecture on the "Immortality
Of the Soul. " Having heard and
read so much Of this cultured d.
vine and his ability as n public
speaker, we naturally expected great
things, and were not in any wise
disappointed. From the enthusi-
asm aud approval voiced on every
side, we Judge that DR.. Black fully
satisfied the most exhaulted opin-
ion any one had formed of his i'm
telleclual powers. and we are deep
ly grateful that he came To us at
this time in the interest of a noble
work.
We are encouraged to believe that
The lecture course instituted some
months ago, though undertaken in
a country community and with
many drawbacks, is proving to be a
good thing. The audience upon
this OCCASION, in point of numbers,
was not what so distinguished
speaker deserved. even from us, but
il was composed of good listeners,
and their attention was held close
ly for two hours OF the deepest SUBJ
ject ever contemplated by the hu-
man mind.
When DR.. Black was introduced
he began by clearly stating and log
ically demonstrating several propo.
sitions. These illustrated and were
analogous to the great theme under
discussion, and thus were laid with
mastery skill the foundations for
the eloquent discourse thatiollnwed
Without rush or jar or meteoric
flights we were led by the magician
of thought from the common place
to the sublime, from the finite to
the infinite, from the beauty OF life
to the glory Of Immortality. That
we might learn what mind has &C
complished and understand what it
still may do, we followed on through |
the fields of science, the realms OF
philosophy and the long vistas Of
the ages before history was and un-
ill time shall be no more, trying to
comprehend the infinite possibili-
ties OF a soul untrameled by the ne
cessity TO toll and sleep and die |
Surely we had before us an expo
sition of intellectual power that
would teach its own lesson. We
must accept the belief in everlast-
ing life or reject all else that is
reasonable.
We must conclude that If q thing
so precious as the human soul
should not go on forever. studying,
attaining, developing, then it rep
resents the most tremendous mis-
take ever made by on all wise God
and launched into the universe Of
created being. This could not be,
for to admit the Creator we must
admit his wisdom. II is impossible |
to more than touch the splendid ar
gument of the speaker. 1t was a
grand effort, characterized through
out by simplicity Of statement,
depth of thought and el0quence Of |
expression. DR.. Blacks style of or
atory is deliberate, solid, forcible;

ture will not allow ahothef such op-
poriunity to escape them.
The evening was closed, as it had
been begun, with excellent music
by the Rocky Springs choir, Mrs.
Mary Regan presiding at The oreanl
and after a stirring anthem. "Fof
God and Home and Native land, !"
the audiente was dismissed with the
benediution.

stow especial care. Gaping wounds in
their sawdust anatomy are sewed up,
arms and legs restored, and if the body
is then sufficiently good a new head is

the hollow heads with cotton before they
are fastened to kid shoulders-the danger
of breakage is greatly lessened. Then
collect all the dolls underwear, have il

WOMEN N THE WOODS.
In Camp for the Fun of Shooting Foxes
but They May BE Snowbound.

In Camp for the Fun Of Shooting Foxes.
but They May BE Snowbound.
Several days ago city man, in gray
corduroy suit. and two ladies passed over
the lake on the way to Jocks lake. where
good, warm camp had been provided.
1t was so cold at the time that even old
Ben Jones, who has dragged lumber
when the thermometer has indicated
| thirty below zero, was none too warm
near the stove in Bob Boyle's barroom.
The guides, who are the only human
beings around just now, looked at the
stranger in wonder. Jones, who has a
frank, outspoken way, wanted to know
what brought the dudish stranger and
his fair companions into the woods in
this unpleasant weather.
"Oh, don't mind the cold, the stran-
ger said indifferently, land the ladies
have been camping before. They thought
it would be jolly fun to come up and
hunt foxes. | guess we'll manage to
keep warm enough in our camp. We've
got plenty of warm clothes, big blankets
and good stove, and besides the camp
is well shinked."
"Humph!' exclaimed Jones, 81 guess
you'll git all the fun We want before
we've hunted many foxes. 1t amt such
a gol darned pleasant place to be in a
blizzard. Be it, boys?'
The boys laughed. but the stranger re-
manned undisturbed. Jones continued
to enlarge on the unpleasant features of
a stay in the woods at this time of year,
but it did not seem to impress the city
man. He was strapping big fellow
active and muscular. and he seemed t.
know what he was about. The ladies
were buxom and healthy looking, and
although the wind whistled as they start
ed away they didn't seem to mind it a
bit.
None of the party said how long they
expected to remain in the woods. The
snow may be very deep before they re-
turn. Ben Jones says he can remember
winters when the snow was five feet deeL
on the level throughout the woods be
fore Christmas Winters have been mild
of late years, but if blizzard were to
come along the ladies might find them
selves snowbound. The part of the
woods in which the man said his CAMP
was situated contains Barber's hotel, a
resort well known by the sporting men
who come here in the spring and fall.
AS it is open all the year the campers
could take refuge there from storm.
The number of persons from the cities
who visit the woods in the winter is in.
creasing yearly, but this is the first party
seen hereabout that has had the cour.
age to rough it. Men come in occasion
ally with the lumbermen for the sport
and experience, but women are seen only
at the hotels. Plenty of them are to be
found at the hostelries throughout the
woods, but all are lung patients sent GU.
by city physicians.
The women in the camping party, how
ever, were thoroughly healthy, and vert
in search of fun only. Each had a gun.
The indications are favorable for plenty
of small game. Foxes have been un.
usually bold, and rabbits and partridges
are very plentiful, even in the clearings.
The possibility of coming upon a beal
now and then ought to add spice to the
excitement.-NorthL Lake Cor. New York
