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. ' ` 1 i b io u e a ad t ev rc a h e 0 0 n e aft he ess 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 .
