Repnrtee I'm the Church.
Richmond Religious Herald.

A Richmond preacher ran out to supply
country church a few weeks ago. AS
he was about TO commence his sermon the
Methodist itinerant of the circuit and n
dozen or two of his people walked in. At
the close of his sermon the Richmond man
referred TO the presence of the Methodist
brethren, and expressed his grateful sense
of the honor they had done him in closing
up their church and coming TO the Baptist
Church. AS quick as thought the Methodist
preacher replied: I'VE did not close up.
The river was so high that we could not
cross to get to our church. The water
drove us TO you The Baptist preacher.
/ may at least safely say that you are not
the first Methodist that the water has
driven to the Baptist" Then some one
and Methodists and Baptists sang and gave
TO each other the hand of Christian greet
ing.

A WORD FOR THE PILGRIM MOTH
ERS.

The numerous reports during the last
few days of meetings in different cities to
celebrate Forefathers' day, leave no doubt
to the wide dispersion and unswerving
loyalty of the sons of New England. In
every progressive community they form
considerable percentage. and wherever they
so they carry with them unchanging devo-
ton to the ideas that have made New Eng
land such a saving power in the land. This
is right and admirable. 1t is we'll that the
sons and grandsons of New England should
come together once year and exalt the
virtues of the brave and noble men who
sowed the seeds of civil and religious lib
erty in a soil whose harvest of men and
harvests. We can stand great deal of
eulogy of the pilgrim fathers. They deserve
all that can be said. and trust the time
is far distant when the 22d of December will
be permitted to pass without the sons of
New England coming together in many
cities to celebrate the anniversary Of the
arrival of the Mayflower and sound their
own and their ancestors praises.
But it occurs that while so many dinners
are being eaten and so many speeches made
in honor Of the pilgrim fathers somebody
ought try and get in a word for the pill
grim mothers. If our forefathers are de-
serving of such honored remembrance. are
not our foremcthers equally so? The May
flower did not bring men alone TO the shores
of Massachusetts. She brought nearly as
many women as men, thirty-nine in all, and
they did not come on a picnic any more
than the men did. If the men left native
land and friends behind them and came to
where they could worship God according to
the dictate of their consciences, so did the
women, and from all accounts the con-
sciences OF the women were just as narrow,
exacting and strict as those of the men.
1t is true they could not build houses, drive
oxen or raise corn. but they could make
the houses little cheerful and homelike,
they could smile on the pilgrim father as
he went out to his daily labor they could
clean up after him he came in at night
covered with snow or mud. and they could
fashion the pounded corn into dishes that
fed bone and sinew. While the pilgrim
father was laying the foundations of the
state the pilgrim mother was taking care
of the little pilgrims and qualifying them
to become fit successorssof the pilgrim
fathers and ancestors in turn of heroic men
and women who were to follow them The
pilgrim mother could not be q seectman,
but generally she was a very select woman.
She could not hold Office or vote or fire a
gun, but she trained up men who were mas
tiers OF these and many other accomplish
ments. The pilgrim fathers would have been
badly off indeed without The pilgrim moth
ers. and as for posterity-well, where would
they be at? Always hereafter when the
sons and grandsons and stepsons Of New
England meet on Forefathers' day to sing
the praises and exalt the virtues of the
pilgrim fathers. let them remember that
they and the country and the world owe
something also to the pilgrim mothers.

Down TO the Lowest Notch.

Mr.. G. II. Hodges, the Shepherds
town grain dealer, last week bought
five hundred bushels of wheat at six
ty cents bushel 1t was the lowest
price he has ever paid for wheat-the
lowest recorded here in many years.
The wheat was sold by Mr.. John
Welsh, OF Swan Pond. who still has
about u thousand bushels of old wheat
in his granary.
There is not much prospect OF an
advance in the price of wheat any
way soon. 1t went up n cent or two
this week, but there seems to be no
reason to anticipate an increase that
will amount to anything.

West Virginia stands on the rock

the front rank of the wealthy and

up in every section, while no portion
