PATER CARTER.
A REGULAR "HARD-SHELL" SER
ON.
The Sduther�rm Magazine h a
sketch of Father Carter, a •' hard.
shall" Baptist preacher, whose
youth had been spent in the robe"
tains of Carolina, but .who was a
famous preacher in his persuasion.
He was an enthusiast on the subject
of " immersion," and , being strong
in his wn'convictions, earnest and
.decided i expressing them,: he -in-
fluenced them. He gathered round
him as di ciples men of higher cul-
tivation an himself His- preach -
inn s of ld astonish an iv _City
congreg ion, but it was at least
stirring in its character. In the
woods ,and under the .giant -trees
-- and in the log school -houses of Cali-
fornia, when he was brought into
contact with minds. as rude
and- uninformed as his own,
,it was that his emotional . na-
ture met a response and carried
his ! audieences with. him. A , favor-
ite sermon of his, he ealled his
"eagle" sermon, and was from a
text in Denteronoiny: " As an
eagle stirreth up her nest, flutter-
eth over her young, s}ireadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them."
The writer once heard it, and its
general tenor is 'indelibly imprinted.
on his mind. Aftpr a long -con-
tinued prelirninary•exereise he be-
gan: .
My friends, Char is'menny kinds
of eagles. They are singular birds
—that is, they are quare b rds.
There is the gray eagle, with the
white bars on his head ; there isthe
bald eagle ditto, who goes about
like a roaring lion seeking whathe
may eat up. Thar is the grandold.
American eagle, what flops. his
wings ani -flies over all creation ;;
and I hey heern tell ' of a double
hedder, an Austrian, but I never
seed one, and �I don't believe th r is .
one—though that don't signify, fur
. some of you tinsIigh t say you hadn't
never seen Godconsequently har
wurn't none. at thar is never-
theless,
er-_
theless, notwithstanding fur which.
Now I onct knowed an
eagle—
that is, I knowed on him—and her
too, fur thar wur two on 'am, a big
rooster eagle `and • a hen eagle. It
wur-in the big mounting of 'C ro-
liny and thar they pitched t eir
tents in a tall and towering pine --
right
pin --
right on the top—and it hung over
a deep precipice, t what.. it war in
danger of being participated down
the precipice when the " loud winds
did roar cin Caroliny's shore." But
it wurn,t ; for He calleth his sheep
by name` and they folder Him, and
- the desert blossoms like a rose, and
the -- barren are better -than them
that beareth children—nevertheless,
,
notwithstanding fur which. ' `

Wa!, these here eagles, pitched
their tent in this waste, howling
wilderness, whar they wur as lone-
ly as a solitary snipe in dog days.
Fust, they got whar there ,war
two cross iirnbs; then they brought
big sticks, and lard 'ern carefully
round and round until it begun to
look sorter -like a big baboon caireen-
ing to. the sky) only it was on a tree;.
then they put it in ,,�l,ittler. sticks,
and littler and littler, till biineby it
were small and compact like. Then
they got all the wool and down and
moss and soft things, and put eni'
down into the bottom, and on the
sides of its- insides, and made it
smooth and warm and comfortable
like-�lilce unto the Man that fills
his barns, and told his soul to be
easy and take things nateral like—
and
ike-and laid _theft' eggs thar—but for
the terrible voice that said " Fool,
this night' thy soul shall be that
is, he wur to die' that very night,
and all his nice things wouldn't be
enny more use to him—though they
wurn't ' hurt, for their eggs I were
batched= and all their young ens`
came out with nary a' single feather
on them nevertheless, not�vitli-
standing fur which.
" Wal, these eagles and their young
uns in thair fine home, and had on
soft clothing like John the 1inwer-
ser wandering in the wilderness,
whaur they w ur in kings' houses -r-
and the big uns fed 'ern, as paren s
feed their little tins—though that s
a command agin stealing, which t e
eagles have to do, but it's thair n,
tur thought.that don't signify, f r
a man's natur is to steal sometime
and he's got to lite again that Batu�';
for when I would do good, !evil its
present—and a man ain't en eaigl:
bird by chance ---nevertheless, no
wfthstandina fur which.'
When the eagles growed up an
had feathers -that is, when the
calve to the age of couritabilit
which 'is expected of .:boys and girls
like—thought eagle's natur is diffe
ent-then the. old eagles wante
them to fly abroad and mount up o
wings of. eagles, and jine the son
song that floats around the thro-n
And that's what- the text begins; fo
that's the way the Faather,up yonde
wants s to do when we reach til
age of 'countabillty—to fly u p wax
—to fly upward, and jine ,the bona
inthexiarrer way, and pass throug
the strait gait. But they didn'
like to leave -home and their kind
,red a»4 their patients, and seek
•
country like . unto the good old
Abraham.--
" -whar, oh wharzs the good old `Ab
ham f
Whar, oh whir is the good old Abra
ham?
Whar,, oh whar is the good old Abr
ham? -
• Safe in the promised land l"
The old eagle goes off aril " $utte
eth over'herj young;-" and that bring
us to the - second pint of ' our dis
course. "She fiuttereth," she flop
her wings, like unto as you ha
seen a hawk just hitting ready t
pounce down upon a poor fiel
mouse ---though it ain't that neithe
for the hawk flutters in wrath, bu
eagle flutters over her youn
uns, in love; . Brethren and sister
she flattens in love just like whe
you .see our dear little 6nes a tread
ing of the downward path, and you
heart flutters and flutters ` becaua
you're - afraid—and she .goes abov
the nest and hollers squawk
which when you holler you mean t
tell 'em to "take keen:," 0 task
keer "=only the bird's talk is no
like unto our talk—and they hea
that voice, and creep onto the side
of the nest, and 'see thair fond pari
ent a -flopping of their wings, an
cry with their ' little- peeked- vole
peek—father dear and -mother dea
lake to follow. you—fur
1'm: bound fur the land of Canaan !
I'm bound fur the land. of Canaan !
I'm bound fur the land of Canaan !
Fur it is my happy home."
�lte eagle hath stirred- her nest,
sli th fluttered over her young—
and that brings us to the third pin
of our discourse.
And now, my friends, what doe
she.do.g She -spreadeth abroad her
wings. Thar she is right up in the
sky ! her wings stretched, like the
shadder of a mighty rock in a dry
land... - Thar below is the little
eagles a=standing on their last stick
the last prop, holden' on with their
tremblin' feet ' like grim death,
while fiery billows := roll bat each—
afeard to fly, afeard to stay, afeard
to do anything, afeared not to do
something—knowing thar is a deep
purcipice, whar- the worm dieth not
and the fire is not quenched -'--
knowing thar is a place whar the
streets flow with milk H and honey,
and . whar thar's no. weepin', -no
mourning, no gnashing of . thair
teeth—knowing they hain't got.no-
thing.here, nor won't have nothing
thar unless theystir themselves and
fly upward ! har ., they tremble
and skive"r and. cry out, and `want to
fly . but dussent-waiting fur a con-
venient season which never coulee,
and Char above all . is the old eagle
a -spreading above her win's and
looking down to see if they won't
clo something—like men and vvimen;
instead'` of jist staying ' thar . like
marble, statutes. to be wafted about
by every 'breeze—and thar she is
a -spreading abroad he�r..wings, until
at last she -give one great squawk of
wrath, and flops down on the whole
brood, and knocks the last pin from
ander 'em. And whar are they 1
Yes, and whatlt.are you my brethren
and sisters? `Whar 'are you 1 Some
a -fluttering like wounded . doges,
down, Iow:n to.;.the lake, -whar they
cry for a drop:of water to cool the
parched tongue, whar Lezarus was
n poor Dives's bosom, or a -mount -
ng 'up eon wings of eagles-whar
hey shall :run and not get weary,
vhar they shall ,walk and not faint.
Nevertheless; notwithanding, . for
which.
And that brings us to another
pint of our discourse, which is 'He
aketh 'em. And'- thar's different
nays of taking things. ' Thar's peo-
ple with mighty taking _ ways, and
hair's officers that' takes you to jail
---and thar's boys that takes apples
nd peaches, which things they
ughtent-and thaai's people that
akes you in -which isn't meant
or the good uns whip takes
traangers • in and takes keer on 'em '
—like onto the `Goruruorians when
Lot's wifewastaken into the. house
Ike a pillar of salt and divided into
our quarters and se'.lt into the land
f Israel, for which the anger buint
gin 'em for the hurt of the dal-JO--
But
au I -
er of Israel w. s sore.
But He taeth them—I don't
can the eagles—and leads them. to
ear pastures and beside still wa-
ers, whar there's Ito more sighing,
nd suffering, no more weeping and
acting—fur '
Parents and children thar shall meet !
Parents and. children than shall meet !
Parents and children thar shall meet !
Shall meet to part no more
On c. anaan's happy shore !"
Imagine all this uttered in the
ost inlpassi'oned manner, the tears
t tinges (streaming down the preach -
''s . face, and the ;quotations
salm-book, Mother . Goose,- or
ranklin's aphorisms—chanted with
rich full voice, and you can get a
impse of Father Carter in his
alray days.
