man to the negro on the driver's seat.
No answer was returned, hut a long-
drawn nut choking noise, with a little
whistle at the conclusion. This was
followed by an Imitation of a circular
saw cutting throgh a pine log and
striking frequent knots. The driver
was as sound asleep as though in a

sack anil he' heeded neither the sun

the flies that left the mule to attack a

The officer walked around the wagon.
In the back, curled up on the sacks,
was another negro who slept as sound

of the busy street swept by them, their
ears were assailed with every variety of
noise which comes from granite blocks

New York, Aug. 24.—Timothy M.
Ileaty, member of parliament from
Ireland, who Itaa Just arrived here,
speaking of an era ot hope and pros
perity for Ireland, laid:
“The old mud cabin of yore la grad
ually being done away with and the
sanitary condltoln throughout the Is
land he, enormously Improved.”
Continuing, he said: ”Slnce the old
grand Juries, the so-called old quarter
sessions bench has been done away
with and county councils established
In their Head. These popularly elected
bodies have started buildings for labor
ers, giving them a good water supply,
suppressing bad fever conditions, look

spects adding greatly to the Improve

"Of course local taxes have tncreaa-
ed, but In view of the betterment of the
lot ot the people thle I* not demurred
to as much as might be expected.
"Officialism, 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 Oealle League has revived old
Irish dances, songs, music and sports
and the priests, too, have largely
thrown themselves Into this side of
life.
"Some have taken greet advantage
of the new agricultural department
founded by the Tory party under Sir
Horace Plunkett.”
The Incident In this lesson occurred
near the close of Christ’s ministry on
earth, while on His way to Jerusalem.
He had been preaching In a house, and
and while there mothers had brought
tlfelr 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 thatU may Inherit eternal
life?" Till* young man was In earnest,
as was Indicated In the manner of his
coming running; he was reverent, as
was manifested by his addressing fflrn
as "Good Master," and his supllant
posture: he wns a moral young man,
having kept all the commandments that
relate to our duties to our fellow-men;
he was courageous, for he was rich and
n ruler, and not many ot his class and
position became the followers of the
lowly Nazarene. He did not come like
Nlcodemua. 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 • disposition and character that
as the Savior looked on him He loved
him.
Lacked One Thing.
And yet. with all these gnnd traits,
the Lord tells him there was one thing
he lacked—thnt. 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 s lifetime, or
part wfth an ancestral estate, leave a
plcasiui' home, the society of dear

It was not to break his back, but his

to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It
Into a flame; to convince him he was not

but as far as genuine faith and piety
were concerned, there was one thing he
lacked.

We May Be Amiable Without Being
Religious.
Saving grace may be found where
there Is sad want of natural graces. As
aomi one has said, "Grace can live
where we could not.”
But in the other hand, these natural
grii'. rs, as they are railed, have adorned
many who were strangers to the grace
of God. We often mistake one for the
other. We may be possessed of much

This young man, a child of fortune,

lence. Tlure was no flint In his com
position, no dynnmlte In his nature.
Having the .honor of a holy office to
sustain, no wonder he was not addicted
to tho grosser sins.

no reason to bonst. His parentage, hie
education, his tr.i'"lng, his surround
ings. may have ir • .e him what he was.
He did not know (He spiritual nature of
Ood'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 so 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
garleh paint, and an odorous wrapping
of a mummy esse containing only dust
and death.
Unless the heart Is right with God,

A Man May Be Interested in Salvation
and Not Bo Ssvod.
In some way this man had been
awakened, had been made to feel that
with all his possessions there* was. one
thing he lacked; with all he had done,
there was something for him It? do to
secure eternal 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 tho world and his back on
Christ. He gave more apparent evi
dence of being -saved than many who
repair to the Lord's table, and bear an
excellent character In the church. Look
at his 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
born In a stable, and never had un
earthly home, and who was burled In a
borrowed sepulcher. Thnigti possessed
with everything the world could afford,
more than enough to supply all his
wahts, he felt a void within that the
world could never fill.
No wonder that the disciples, when
they saw such a man turn his back on
Christ, and heard our Lord say It was
easier for a camel to pass through a
needle's eye than n rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven, were astonished
and asked: "Who then can-be saved?"
Not a Universal Test.
We must not undcratqpd that all who
come to Christ and would be Ills fol
lowers must sell all their goods and
give to the poor. Christ looked Inti,
this young man's heart andSiaw what
was the great obstacle In his way, the
one thing that was holding him back.
His 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 le nothing
wrong In making money, If made hon-
eetly and legitimately. It le n good
thing If kept In Re place. lie place
should ^e In our open hnnde and not
our hearte. It Is a good servant, but a
bad master.
Some of the best Christian men are
rich, men who realize their rotation to
God is stewards, and also their oblige,
lion to their fellow-man, but It Is hard
for a man whose sole aim In life la to
acquire riches to live a Christian life.
The heart Is weaned away from things
spiritual and wedded to material
things. Then there ore all the tempts,
tlona that are concomitant with wealth.
There le no warning In the Bible that
neede to be held up and heeded more
In thle age of commercialism than the
one In this lesson.
This I* a busy, bustling, hurrying,
lading age In which we live.
The world seems a vast arena, filled
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 tho 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 apneal for help, practicing all
the tricks of trade, often denying them
selves the comforts of life, that they
may pile up riches they do not enjoy
while living, and must part with them
when they die.
Hoarding Is a species of Insanity. I
can see the wisdom In the bee gather
ing honey when the flowers are In
bloom, and storing It away in hex
agonal cells, providing for the lime
when the fields nre bleak and bare, and
In the squirrel, that In gathered nuts
provides Its winter supply of food.
But for a man to spend his life In
the acquisition of that whfrh Impover
ishes rather than enriches him, If not
madness. Is the height of folly.
A sailor once etood on the deck of a
sinking ship that was returning from
the Pacific coast. Bags of gold lay
on the floor which the returning miners
had discarded when they put on their
life preservera. The sailor loaded him
self with these till he fould scarcely
bear their weight, and when remon
strated with and told they would sink
him In the sen, he replied that “he had
always wanted to be rf
was his last opportunity.”
We condemn his folly, but many do
a similar thing.
This lesson Is not only a lesson to the
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 willing to give
up anything thnt holds us back.
Our prayer should be: "Give me
neither poverty nor riches."
Not many use that petit
they did they would puli oni
they prayed the other. Christ wants
an entire consecration.
