This was followed by an Imitation of a circular saw cutting throgh a pine log and striking frequent knots. The driver wus as sound asleep as though In a Pullman.

Dy Private Leased Wire. New York. Aug. 24.—Timothy M. Healy, member of parliament from Ireland, who has just arrived hare, speaking of an era of hope and pros perity for Ireland, said: “The old mud eabln of yore Is grad ually being done away with and tho sanitary condltoln throughout the Is land has enormously Improved.” Continuing, he said: “Since the old grand juries, the so-called old quarter sessions bench has been done away with and county councils established In their stead. These popularly elected bodies have started buildings for labor ers, giving them a good water supply, suppressing bad fever conditions, look ing after th. roads and In other re spects adding greatly to the Improve ment of the people's condlton. “Of course local taxes have Increas ed, but in view of the betterment of the lot of the people this la not demurred to as much as might be expected. “Ofnclallsm, too, has been checked to a great extent and the people have gotten a larger measure of power Into their own hands. They are now In clined more to look on the bright side of things. "The Geatlc League has revived old Irish dances, songs, music and sports and the prlesta, too, have largely thrown themselves Into this side of life. “Some have taken great advantage of the new agricultural department founded by the Tory party under Sir Horace Plunkett.” 7HE RICH YOUNG RULER MATT. 10s 2-16. By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE. Golden Text. If any Man will como unto Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me. MATT. 15:24. The Incident In this lesion occurred near the close of Christ's ministry on earth, while on His way to Jerusalem. He had been preaching In a house, anil and while there mothers had brought their children that He might bless them. As He Went forth Into the way, a young man came running to Him, and falling at His feet, asked Him, “What shall I do that I may Inherit eternal Ilfs?” This young man was In earnest, as was Indicated In the manner of his coming running; he was reverent, as was manifested by his addressing Him as "Good Master." and his aupllant posture; he was a morn! young man, having kept all the commandments that relate to our duties to our fellow-men; he was courageous, for he was rich and a ruler, and not many of his class and position became the followers of the owty Nasarene. He did not come like Nlrodrmus, under the cover of the night, but In the day time, and on the public highway. We have every reason to believe that he was sincere, by the important query on his lips. He was amiable, possessed of such a disposition and character thkt as the Snvtor looked on him He loved him. Lacked One Thing. And yet, with all these good traits, the Lord tells him there was one thing he lacked—that he must sell all he had and give to the poor; come unto Him and be His follower. Was not that a severe teat? Put your self In the young man's place. How would you feel to be called on to give away all the earnings of a lifetime, or part with an ancestral estate, leave a plcnsan' home, the society of dear frlendi. reputation, rank and riches, and follow the fortunes of a man who was ostracised by the recognised best soclnty, and t.o poor that He had no place where He might lay His head? How ninny of us could stand such a test us that? What object could Christ hay i In laying such a heavy burden on the back of this youth? What, but his real geod? I: tvas not to break his back, but his pride; not :i repel, but attract him: not to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It Into a flame; to convince him he was not what he seemed to others or himself; but as far as genuine faith and piety were concerned, there was one thing he lacked. The lari' of one thing may spoil evctylhlpg else. A watch without a mainspring Is worthless as a chronom eter. A sun-dlal without Its gnomen. as It Is called, Time’s Iron Anger that throws Its shadow on the circling hours Ir of as much use In the darkest night In the brightest sunshine. A ship may he built of the strongest oak, with masts of the stoutest pine, manned by the best officers and crew, amply sup-, piled with lifeboats, but you would not risk your life on her to cross the ocean. If alio lacked one thing—the mariner’s compass. Ho It Is with true piety and living faith. One thing wanting, the greatest works, the costliest sacrifices, and the niost moral .life, are of no value In the sight of God. It may Iw the lowest piety, but one degree above *ero:Jt may be the love of smoking flax: the hope of a bruised reed; Ihe faith of a mustard seed: but If Inwrought by the spirit of God It pea tne character of man, and his wot for eternity. It Is tho digit prefixed to the ciphers give them their value and without which they A Man May Be Interested In 8alvation and Not Be Saved. In some way this man had been awakened, had been made to feel that with all hla possessions there was one thing he lacked; with all he had done, there was something for him to do to secure eternRl life; he repairs to the fountain head, seeking It In Christ, yet a stranger to the grace of God. The curtain falls on him with his face turned to the world and his back on Christ. He gave more apparent evi dence of being saved than many who repnlr to the Lord’s table, and bear an excellent character In the church. Look at Ills earnestness. He did not wait for a more convenient season, he came running to Christ. Look at his humili ty. A noble by birth, a ruler by office, a man of his position and great wealth, he kneels at the feet of One who was horn In a stable, and never had an earthly home, arid who wqs buried In a borrowed sepulcher. Though possessed with everything the world could afford, more than enough to supply all his wants, he felt a void within that the world could never All. No wonder that the disciples, when they saw such a man turn his hack on Christ, and heard our Lord say It was easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, were astonished and naked: “Who then can be saved?" Not a Universal Teat. \Ve must not understand that all who como to Christ and would be His fol lowers must sell all their gooda and give to the poor. Christ looked Inti this young man’s heart and saw what was the great obstacle In hla way, the one thing that was holding him back. Hla words were a warning not against acquiring riches, but trusting In riches. Money Is not the root of all evil, but the love of money. There Is nothing wrong In making money, If made hon estly and legitimately. It Is a good thing If kept In 111 place. Its place should be In our open hands and nnt our hearts. It Is a good servant, but a bad master. Some of the best Christian men are rich, men who realise their relation to God as stewards, and also their obliga tion to their fellow-men, but It Is hard for a man whose sole aim In lit* Is to acquire riches to live a Christian life. The heart Is weaned away from things spiritual and wedded to. material things. Then there are all the tempta tions that are concomitant with wealth. There Is no warning In the Bible that needs to be held up and heeded more In this age of commercialism than the. one In this lesson. This Is a busy, bustling, hurrying, hustling age In which we live. The world seems a vast arena, tilled with runners In the race for riches. They are so Intent In finding gold In the sordid soil of earth they can not look up to' see the crown sparkling with gems of redemption. How men work and worry under the spur and whip of this monster passion, turning a deaf ear to every holy and Humane appeal for help, practicing all the trlcka of trade, oftan denying them selves the comforts of life, that they CREDITORS SEARCH FOR MRS.

What’s all the matter barer’ said the officer. “Is this a sleeping beauty Joint we’ve run Into? Put me wise, some of you; put me wise!" "Why, that's easy,” said the produce man w ho had Just arrived on the scene. "That wagon's loaded with Bermuda onions and the smell will put anybody to sleep In five minutes. Why, I have to go down cellar and woke up every nigger down there once every half hour. 1 heard once of a schooner sail ing Into New Orleans loaded with on ions, and every man on her from cap- In to cabin boy wae fast asleep." By this time the driver had been nwakened. He straightened up grum- lillngly and drove on. The officer atched him a moment. "Gee.” he yawned, stretching his arms and looking about for n cool alley and a dry goods box, ”1 could represent nothing. It Is the signature to tki check or note, without which they are worthless. We May Be Amiable Without Being Religious. Having grace may be found w-here there Is sad want of natural graces. As som-i one has said, "Grace can live whfe we could not." But on the other hand, these natural gnu is, as they arc called, have adorned many who were strangers to the grace of God. We often mistake ona for the other. We may be possessed of much thnt la admirable and beautiful wlth- ou; nnythlnr holy. Turqlng hla back on Christ, refusing Hla personal Invitation to become His follower, going away sorrowful, this young man warns us that the sweetest, kindest, gentlest, may lack the one thing needful. However lovely and loving and loved you mny be, and de serve to be, except you are born again you can not see the klngdory of God. A Man May Livs a Moral Life With out Religion. A man ran not he a Christian without living a life of moral correctnese, but he may lie a moral man without being u Christian. This young man, a child of fortune, reared perhaps with pious care, an honorable station to sustain, kind pa rents to win hla affections. It la easy to account for hla observance of the law. nuh. what temptation had he to Steal? Blessed with an amiable tem per which he may have Inherited, he had none of those quick and fiery paa. slotis which explode Into acts of vio lence. Thtre was no flint In his com position. no dynamite In hla nature. Having the honor of a holy office to sustain, no wonder he was not addicted to the grosser sins. For what he was he may have had no reason to boast. Ills parentage, his education, his trn'-ritig, his surround ings. may have U' - e him whnt he was. He did nnt know the spiritual nature of God's law, how there may be adultery In a look, theft In a desire and murder In the heart. . ... . . . He had nothing of godliness but a form of religion, an empty shell. With affections *sn amiable and life so fair as ever won the esteem of mankind, yet he lacked the one thing needful. A goodly exterior may be but the garish paint, and an odorous wrapping of a mummy case containing only dust and death.

A sailor once stood on the deck of a sinking shl|> that was returning from the Pacific coast. Bags of gold lay on the floor w hich the returning miners had discarded when they put on their life preservers. The sailor loaded him self with these till he could scarcely bear their weight, and when remon strated with and told they would sink him tn the sea, he replied that "ha had always wnnted to be rich, and this was his last opportunity," We condemn his folly, but many do a similar thing. This lesson Is nnt only a lesson to tha rich, but to those who would be rich, who -trust In uncertain riches. If we would be Christ's disciples and followers, we must be wJIHng to give up anything that holds us back. Our prayer should he: "Give me neither poverty nor riches.” Nnt many use that petition, and If they did they would pell one way while they prayed the other. Christ wants an entire consecration. We are not our own. Wo have been bought with a Price; all wo have and are belong tn Him, and at His com mand we should be willing to lay our selves and all wa have upon his altar. Purse Baptized. A man was once About to be Im mersed, when some one offered to hold his purse, nnd he replied: "Nr want that baptised, too." He believed In a pure-and-all consecration. Peter, not by the way of boasting, but to find out If they had stood the test and compiled with the conditions, says: "We have left all and followed Thee.” Then Jesus tells them thnt they who have left all for Him shall be rewarded a hundred fold In thia life, and the life to come. "Jesus, I my cross have taken. All lo leave and follow' Thee; Nnked, poor, despised, forsaken. Thou from hence my all shall be.” orr sWeIuends SHOES TO PORTO RICO One of the most significant ship ments of merchandise ever made from Atlanta has Just been delivered by the J. K.
