dear bjy — you are always boys at home — are scattered far — one in mis souri another in arkansas the third in far off florida till i feel one and almost broken hearted — a letter from the author's mother dear mother i have wandered far far from the old roof-tree and miles by mountain clitf and scar have parted you and me tho storms may drive us where they will o'er land or ocean's foam one happy thought may cheer us still we're always boys at home though time may set his signet mark on heart and hand and brow ; tho clouds may rise ami skies grow dark e'en as they're growing now far from a mother's love and pride our steps can never roam ; though men to all the world beside we're always boys at home you're sitting by the dear old hearth to-night with all its joys our mother mid tl.o e

at home dear mother in this world of woe though fickle friends may flee and though thy children's children grow la clusters round thy knee s;ife anchored in thy tender heart thy grown-up boys may come

toil and care a seliish world and cold we'll meet in other years for there we nevermore grow old an important witness some readers of the north carolina presbyterian may — oi course unjustly — regard our charges against roman ism as being deeply tinged at least with biras or prejudice for tiie ben efit of such we introduce to-day a most important witness — no other than the roman pontiff himself he bassinet his irish rescripts issued an encyclical on human liberty the following extracts from this characteristic docu ment and the comments thereon are from the n y independent which savs it is really not an essay about i liberty but an essay against liberty of thought and speech and worship if there be any theory more firmly inibedcd than any in our american institutions it is that of the indepen dence of church and state the equali ty of all religions before the law — what we call religious liberty under this system the catholic church in this country has grown to its present pros perity the catholic clergy and peo ple accept it and praise it here and in rome in no other country do they regard the condition of their church as more happy but his holiness cannot possibly appreciate all this which he has never seen he knows only of the license of the church's foes in italy and po he proceeds to an attack that is most unfortunate for bis cause in this country and will give his followers a difficult task to expfain away his words he speaks of fatal theory of the sep aration of church and state in ex panding the danger of this theory he attacks that liberti in individuals which issoop posed to the virtue of religion namely the liberty of worship as it is railed which rests on the principle that every man is free to profess as lit chooses any religion or none 1 ' this remarkable encyclical proceeds this same liberty if it be considered in relation to the state clearly implies that * * * no form of worship is to be preferred to another but that it 1 1 stand on mi equal footing no account being taken nt tlie the religion or the people even if thcj t profess tl e catholic fuitlj * * * justice therefore forbids and reason for bids the state to be godlces or to adopt a line i faction which would end in godless ] ne-s namely to treat the various religions us i he v call them al ; ke and to bestow upon them promiscuously equal ri hts and privileges sini c then the profession oi one religion is necessary in the trtate that one must be professed which alone can be recognized without difficulty especially in catholic states because the marks of truth n c :;> it were engraven upon it 1 his re ligion therefore the rulers of llie is.-iw 1 inii-t pn serve and protect if they would provide ns the should do with prudence and ihefuliu'-s for the good of the commu n'.iy this is as absolute a contradiction as can be conceived of the fundamental principle of american religious liberty as formulated in the constitutions of the separate states and thus expressed in our national constitution no religious list shall ever be required as a qualification to any < fhvc or public trust in the united states 1 congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom ofspreth or the press it is an exceedingly bad and a perni cious blunder on the part of the pope to forget america the country where t'kr cat holic church is freest when wri ting on human liberty it is a pity that he could not have read and pon dered to more purpose the copy of the constitution presented to him by pres ident cleveland on the occasion of his i jubilee and so warmly extolled by car dinal ribbons his holiness then proceeds to talk of liberty of speech and of na press there can be no such r he strangely says if it is not used in moderation he then explains his views men have a riyht freely *:,(! prudently ti propagate throughou the state wl atsn cver tilings are true nnd honorable so that us many us possible may possess them but tiiisc doctrines than which no mental pinprue is greater and vices which corrupt the lietirt should be diligently repressed by public autl ority lest they insidiously work i lie ruin of the 8tute the excesses of an unbri.d!ed intellect which really end in the oppression of the ignorant multitude ate not less rightly restrained by the authority of the law than are the injuries inflicted 1 force upon the wenk but if what his holiness calls false doctrines are to be diligently repress ed by public authority we have the worst of mental suppression restored to its old force and we set the old italian niprimature ducking once more attach other on the four pages of every book before it is allowed to see the light and so with liberty of teaching — that is equally condemned and liberty of thought either by plain teaching or by implication it is clear that the doctrines of his holiness is that it is the duly of the state to accept the truth from the roman church which alone has lawful authority 1 to define it and then to teach this truth and allow no doctriness to be taught con trary thereto if the church does not use this her lawful authority to di rect the state it is because we have fal len on evil times it is hard to believe that the following with which we close our extracts means all it seems to mean : although in the extraordinary condition of these times 1 hi ( h roll usually acquies ces in certain modern liberties not because she judges it expedient to permit them in the better times she wolili use her own lib ■ rt aud by persuasion exortation and en treaty she would endeavor us she ciipht - to fulfil the duty assigned to her by god ol providing for the eternal salvation of mankind we do nor know what this mon strous announcement means if it does not mean the persuading the state to suppress anti-catholic liberal teaching certainly the church as this encycii ■ cal proves has in italy itself and every where else liberty enough to persuade exhort aud entreat but she does not have the liberty — happily in tbiscouu try to suppress liberty this encyclical is the worst weapon the pope could have put iit this coun try it will be read with profound astonishment and dismay by his pre lates here and they will find the task of defending it a wry unpleasant one tho canada presbyterian savs leo has again felt called upon to issue an encyclical on freedom unlike the passionate official utterances of his prsdecessors it is calm thoughtful and sholarly he is too intelligent a man and too astute a politician not to take a comprehensive view of the subject in all its bearings on existing social and political forces the abstract and ideal slate of things where the papacy could dominate is admittedly incapable of realization in these agitated and tur bulent time it is for the attainment of this fictitious golden age that the papacy in all departments is striving but with indifferent success other wise the pope would not feel called to protest so vigorously against the modern thought in the encyclical re published the pope pronounces his sol emn anathema on freedom of speech freedom of the press freedom from eccle siastical control in education and he is especially averse to liberty of con science the suppression of these at this stage of the world's history is a contract too great for an institution like the papacv even though it were more powerful than it now is after repeat ed contests and the results that will follow it'is quite possible that a suc cessor to say non possums but with a meaning somewhat different from the signification given it by pius ix the position is taken that the church that is the church of koine hums authority to regulate the degree of freedom that the people shall possess and the encyclical proceeds it follows from ihese considerations thai it is not lawful to irk to deivnd or tn grant unreservedly as rights to which man is natur h cnti led liberty of thought of the press of teaching in which these various kin <>! liberty may be tolorated j provided that by the exercise of w wi-c discr tson t ln-y are never allowed to 1 i t • ■ 1 1 - urate into license or disorder j.a ly where ihese liberties are already in force fiiizens j may make use of them for srood ends in harmony with the mind of the church fur no iberty should ever be rcgar led a legitimate which docs not increase our pow er of doing when under any particular fovernment the church sufferes violence or is deprived of her lawful liberties it is pernii£s:iblc for her seek 9 iiv other jiolit lrrtl organization more favorable to her op erations that which the church sanc tinns is not liberty unlimited stud unre strained but such a measure of freed an as may secure the welfare of all let our readers remember that in the encyclical church always means rom tin catholic church as where these liberties are already in force eit 1 i/.ens may make use o them for good 1 ends in harmony with the mind of the j roman catholic church thanks we k:io\v of citizens who will hardly consult the mind of the church in this matter again when under any paricular government thechurch suffers violence or is deprived of her lawful liberties it is permissible for her to seek tome oth er political organization more favorable to her operations now who is to be the judge in these matters who will decide of the na ture or degree of violence or who de cide what liberties are lawful liberties \\ hy the pope of rome or his subor dinates the hierarchy in any country and so the whole thing resolves itself into this it the bidding of romish authorities political organizations are to be favored or disfavored it is so in germany to-day and will be so in this country when rome has the power the encyclical does not mean less than that tke conclusion reached by our can ada contemporary is sound civil and religious liberty whereev er prevalent has been bought at too great a price to be tamely surren dered at the bidding of any man be he pope or kaiser the inalienable rights of humanity givn by the su preme ruler

stili lives in his humble cottage close by the original concord grapevine the world of horticulture far more than himself has profited by his labors he has reaped no pecuniary advantage out of his great discovery and now in a feeble old age lacks the comforts and attentions — the means for securing which his services to the public should have brought him for until the ad vent of the concord grapes were a lux ury enjoyed only by the weathly al thoughthe isabella brought out as a wild seedling nearly twenty years before by george gibbs and named after his wife was well known as was the ca tawba a wild grape from the banks of the potomac domesticated bv major adlum of the district of columbia neither was hardy enough to survive the cold northern winters now no home is too humble to lie without the concord or some of the other varieties of native origin that have been produc ed since its introduction gave such an j impetus to the improvement of our na tive varieties mr bull was born in washington street boston march 4 1s06 and as a boy took great delight in the home | garden the public schools were his college and gold-beating become his i profession which he followed for years j unti in 1s37 he was compelled by i waning health to take up a country j life he bought a small place ut con cord not far from the home of r ilph wald > emerson and devoted himself to fruit culture with a determination to produce a perfectly hardy grape it occureed to him that the wild grape had been waiting for as foryears and that it possessed an ancestry and line age thai combined to make constitu tional vigor and hardiness of inestima ble value if its wild habit could be broken so that its siz • and quality might be improved by careful breeding the wild grapes along the concord were of various colors and chaiacters n i had interbred for years this hab it made the work of improvement far more promising than if a single strain of the wild fruit ha 1 grown on year after year developing more fixed char acteristics as time went on l this fundamental cause mr bull attributes the in i:iv white seidlin given by the < loncord after some hunting for the most promising wild grapevine an ac cidental seedling*of the true vitu labrusca the wild grape of new eng land that came up in his ganlen from a see \ probably dropped by a bir.l was chosen ic w is a sweet an i good grape for a wild variety with large black ber ries very prolific and its whole crop was rip 1 by august 2 in the fall of 1842 the seeds of the best of the in 1849 bore their first crop oaly a fruit were planted the next year the most promising deedlings were care fully nurtured and six years . later single vine among the man proved of value but thaton ; was a priceless pearl — the concord grape after three years testinsr mr ball j finally exhibited the concord before the i massachusetts horticultur.il society in iso'-i as a seedling from a native grape up to that time amateurs and i professionals had considered it impos sible to produce from wild varieties a grape free from the objectionable foxy nature true to their prejudices the di lettanti made war upon it and even the late a j downing was fiercely down i on it but its merits speedily pushed the concord into public attention and when it was introduced by c m hov py & co of boston in 1854 the first year's sales amounted to 3.20 )— an ex travagant sum to be realized on a new fruit in those days it was first fully described in hovey's mag:izhte of hor ticulture in 1s54 and the next year was generally grown by nurserymen who reaped a harvest from its subsequent sale thus it slipped from the control of the originates who was left only the glory of giving such a blessing to the world mr bull has ever since ■ pursued his attempts to further im prove the grape his object has been to produce a variety of better quality while equally hardy and productive he has evidently succeeded in his new black grape which though stili withheld from the public has proven to be of a high order of merit another fruit of his long labors as a specialist will soon delight connoisseurs — his new white grape may he profit handsomely by their propagation ! mr bull was elected by the american par ty to the lower branch of the massa chuesetts legislature in ls'o and to the state senate in 1850 that year he was appointed to the massachusetts board of agriculture in which beserv ed for twelve consecutive years his work and sayings added much to the value of the transactions of the bo ird secretary flint well say of him he did more probably than any other man through the admirable papers he fin ished to awaken an interest in the cul tivation of the grape the reverened father of american pomology mar shall p wilder said shortly before his death mr bull is and ever has been a most worthy unpretendinggentleman since he secured the famous concord no other modern varietw has been so extensively cultivated in our northern climes or so appreciated by the public had mr bull dene nothing el e for tin benefit of mankind his name would be held in grateful remembrance while the fruit of the vine shall cool the parched tongue or its juice make glad the heart of man concerning the merits of the con cord mr bull write with justifiable pride the original concord grape vine bore its first crop six years from the seed nearly all of its seedlings have fruited in six yearsfrom other varieties of grapes may and do fruit in three or four years but their merits are not permanent the concord has given us nearly all the best grapes of to-day its seedlings stand they possess intrinsic merits we do not accept as authentic his tory what is said above in relation to the isabella grape we feel con fident that the issabel la is of greater age than that indicated by this writer it was cultivated in this town sixty years ago and the late andrew matth ieu.of this place gained much local no toriety by its culture about the years 1833 to 1837 nor do we accept what is said above about the catawba grape we have reason to believe that it is a native of north carolina and was known and cultivated in the town f lincolnton long
