What with post end rail fences and o’ir
pr’de in Souths vn. A-(rakhttn and Finn
i«b var)< ti< s of sb< ep, there is no uro now
of the old time sb' herd Such a one !id
abundance of opjxjrtunlty of becoming n
poet, being out of doors 12 hours the day.
and ofttimes waking up in the night on
the hliis. If the stars or the torrents or the
tun or the flowers had anything to say. he
was very apt to hear it. Tho Ettrick Shop
herd of Scotland, who afterward took bis
seat in the brilliant, circle of Wilson and
Lockhart, got Ids wonderful pm lie inspi- ■
ration in tho ten years in wiii.-h he was i
watchingtho flo'-kscf -Mr. Laidlaw. There j
is often n sweet poetry in the rngg> d pro: '
of fl; ■ Scotch shepherd. One oft; ;
Scotch sh<;rh< rds lost his only son, and he
knelt dow n in prayer and was overheard
to say, “O Lord, it has reined g-iod in thy
providence to take from nfethe stall of niy
right hand at the time when to us sand
blind i::' rtals I f<‘< med to be most in need
of it, and how I shall climb up tho hill of
sorrow and iiuid ago w itbout it thou mayst

David, the Shepherd Hoy.
David, the she; bard hoy, is v. a’ehimf his
fathor’s i h:cp 'limy nrpasturing on the
very hills wi?ero afterward a Linnb was
born of which you have h -n:d much, "tho
Lamb of God, w hich taluith av. ,iy the sin
of the world. David, tho ehmdicrd boy, !
was beautiful. brave, musical and poetic, i
I think lie often forgot the sheep in hi.t
reverief'. There in tho rolltuik- he struck
tho harp string that is thrilling through
nil ages. David the boy was gathering
thomaterial fur David the p- > 1 and David
the man. Like other boys. David was fond
of using hi., l idio among the Faplinga,
and he h.’.d noticed the exuding of the juico
of the tri e, and when ho be-. >me a man
ho said, "The tr.-e- of the Lord are full of
sap.” David the boy, like other boys,
bad been fond, of hunting the birds' nests,
and ho had driven tbo old stork off tho
nest to find how’many eggs w ere until r
her, and when he became man lie said,
“As for the stork, tbo flr trees are her
house." In boyhcod bo had hoard tl;o ter
rifle thunder term that frightened the red
doer into premature r.i-. knoss, and whop ho
became a man ho said, “ The voice of tho
Lord moketh tho hinds to calve." David
the boy hud lain upon Ida back looking
tip nt tho stars nod examining the sky,
and to his boyish imagination tho sky
seemed Hko n piaca of divine embroidery,
tho diviiio floytus working in tho thri ad.t
of light and tho beads of stars, and ho be
came n m:.n and wrote, “When 1 consider
thy heavens, tho work of thy fingers.’’
When lio became r.n chi man, thinking of
the goodness of (loti, he’seemed to hear tho
bleating of his father's sheep across many
years ami to think of the lime when bo
tended Ii em on the Heth 1 'hem hills, and
bo cries out in tshu text, "The Lord is my
shepherd."
If God will help mo, I will tall; to you
of tho shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's
crook, tbo shepherd's dtho ehepherd’s
pasture grounds, and the shepherd's flocks.
The Shepherd's Plaid.
And flr-Ttho shepherd's j-lnld. It would
bo preposterous for a man going out to
rough and besoiling work to put on
splendid apparel. Tiie potter does not work
In velvet. Tho servant m.titl does not put
on satin wh.ilo toiliiig nt her duties. Tho
shepherd does not wear a splendid robe in
which to go out amid Mie .-terras, and the
rocks and I lie nettle:;; lie put:’, on thorough
apparel appropriate to his exposed Work.
Tbo Lord our IShepherd, coming out to
hunt the lost sheep, puts on no regal ap
parel, but the plain garment of our hu
manity. There was nothing pretentious
about it. 1 know tbo old painters repre
sent n halo around the babe Jesus, but I
do not suppose that there was any more
halo about that child than about tho head
of any other bubo that was born that
Christ man eve in Judrca. Becoming a man,
he wore a sonmlesa garment. The seissor.t
and needle had done nothing to make it
graceful. I take it to have been a sack
with three holes in it, one for the neck
and two for tho arms. Although the gam
blers quarreled over it, that is no evidence
of its value. I have seen two ragpickers
quarrel over tho refuse of an ash barrel.
No; in tho wardrobe of heaven he left the
sandals of light, the girdles ot i-.e--.uty, the
robes of power, and put on the besoiled and
tattered raiment of our humanity. Some
times bo did not even wear the seamless
role. What is that hanging about the
waist of Christ? Is it a badge of authority?
Is it a royal coat of arm.-:? No; it is a
towel. The disciples’feet are filthy from
tho walk on tho Jong way and are not fit
to be put upon tho sofas on which they are
to recline nt the meal, and so Jesus washes
the’r feet and gathers them up in the
towel to dry them. The work of saving
this world was rough work, rugged work,
hard work, and Jesus put on the raiment,
the plain raiment of our tlesh. The storms
were to beat Idm, the crowds wore to jostle
him, the dust was to sprinkle him, the
mobs were to pt,:sue him O Shepherd
of Israel, leave at homo thy bright array!
For thee, what streams to ford, what
nights all unsheltered! Ho puts upon him
the plain raiment o: our humanity, wears
our woes, an I while earth and heaven and
hell stand m. i ized at thv abnegation wraps
around him the shepherd's plaid
Cold mountains and the mi might air
Witlie- sed the fervor of his prayer.
The Shepherd’s Crook.
Next 1 mention tho shepherd's crook.
This was n rod with a curve at the end,
which when a sheep was going astray was
thrown over its neck and in that way it
was pulled back When the sheep were
not going astray! the shepherd would of
ten use it us a sort of crutch, leaning on
it, but when the sheep were out of ths
way the crook was always busy pulling
them back. All we, like sheep, have gone
astray, and. had it net been for the shep
herd’s crook wo would have fallen long
ago over the precipices.
Hero is a man who is making too much
money. He is getting very vain He says:
"Alter awhile I shall be independent of
all the world. Omy soul, eat. drfnk and
be merry! ’ Business disaster comes to
him. What is God going to do with him?
Has God any grudge against him? Oh,
ao! God is throwing over him the shep
herd's crook and puiiing him back into
Uetter pastures. Here is a man who has
always been well He has never had any
sympathy fur invalids. Ho calls them
eo’igbing, wheezing nuisances. After
awhile sickness conies to him. Ho does
not understand what God is going to do
with him. He says, "Is the Lord angry
with me?” Oh, no! V> ; .th tbo shepherd’s
crook ho has been pulled hack into better
pastures. Here is a happy household cir
cle. The parent does not realize the truth
that these children are only h aned to him,
and he forgets from what source came his
domestic blessings. Sickness drops upon
those children and d ath swoops upon a
little one. He says, "Is God angry with
me?” No. Bis shepherd’s crock puils
him back into better pastures. Ido not
know what would have become of us if it
had not been for the shepherd’s crook.
Oh, the mercies of our troubles! You take
up apples and plums from under tho shade
of the trees, and the very best fruits of
Christian character we find in the deep
shade of trouble.
Uses of Adversity.
When I was on the steamer coming
across tho ocean, I got a cinder in my eye,
and several persons tried’ to get it cut-very
gently, but it could not be taken out in
that way. I was told that the engineer
had a facility In such eases. I went to
him. He put his large, soosy hand on me,
took a knife and wrapped the lid of the
eye around the knife. I expected to be
hurt very much, but without any pain and
instantly he removed the cinder. Ob,
there come times in our Christian lifo
when our spiritual vision is being spoiled
and ail genlie appliances fail! Then there
comes same gioct trouble and black
handed lays hold of us and rttnoves t!»at
which would have ruir»d our vision for
ever. I will gather all your joys together
in one regiment of t«»n c .mpauies. and I
will put t u> under Cchmvl Joy. Then I
wiii gather ail your sorrows together in
one regr:.» of ’er. companies and put
th< m under Cul-ru-l heart ihc-n I
will a.-k. Which of tis tte regiments has
gained for you the greater spiritual vic
tories? Certainly that under Colonel
Bre-ikheart.
In tan time of war. you may remember
at the south and north, the question was
wit- ti.cr the black troops would tight, but
when th- y were put into the struggle on
both sides they did heroically In the
great day of eternity it will be found that
it was not the white regiment of joys that
gained your greatest suco sses, bat the
b’ai k troops of trouble, ml~fortune and
‘disaster. Where you ha- e gained one
spiritual success from your prosperity, you
have gained ten spiritual successes from
your adversity.
There is no animal that struggles more
violently than a sheep when you corner it
and catch hold of it. Down In the glen I
see a group of men around a lost sheep. A
plowman comes along and seizes the sheep
and tries to pacify it, but it is more fright
ened than ever. A miller comes along,
puts down his grist and caresses the sboop,
and it seems as if it would die of fright.
After awhile some one breaks tkrtingh tho
thl. kot. He wiys, “ Let me have the poor
thing." Ho comes up and lays his arms
around the sheep and it is immediately
quiet. Who is tbo last man that comes? It
is the shepherd. Ah, my friends, be not
afraid of the shepherd’s crook I It is never
used on you save in mercy, to puli you
back. Tho hard, cold Iceberg of trouble
will melt in the warm gulf stream of
divine sympathy.
There is one passage I think you misin
terpret, "The bruised reed he will not
break." Do you know that the shepherd
In olden times played upon these reeds?
They were very easily bruised, but when
theyw. ru bruised they were never mended.
The shepherd could so easily make another
one, he would snhp the old one and throw
it away and get another. Tho Bible says
it is not so with our Shepherd. When the
music is gone out of a man’s soul, God
does not snap him in twain and throw him
away. He mends anti restores. "Tho
bruised reed ho will not break."
When in the o’erhanging heavens of fate
The threatening clouds of darkness dwell.
Tin n k t u.» humbly watch and wait.
It > ::li I-, well, it shall be well.
And when the storm has passed away
And suusbii: j smiles on flood and fell
How sweet to think, how sweet to say,
It ha- been well, it has been well! e
Tb» Shepherd’s Dogs.
Next I speak of tho shepherd’s dogs.
They watch the straying sheep and dyiv»
them back again. Every shepherd has his
dog—from the nomads of the Bible times
down to the Scotch herdsman watching
his flocks on the Grampian hills. Our
Shepherd employs the criticisms and per
eciitions of the world as his dogs. There
arc those, you know,whose whole work it is
to watch tbo inconsistences of Christians
aid bark at them. If one of God’s sheep
gets astray, the world howls. With more
avidity than :i shopherd's dog ever caught
a stray sheep by tho flanks or lugged it by
the ears worldlings seize the Christian
astray. Lt ought to do ns good to know
that we are thus watched. It ought to put
us on our guard. They cannot bite us, if
wo stay near the Shepherd. The sharp
knife of worldly assault will only trim the
vines until they produce better grapes.
The more you pound marjoram and rose
mary, tho sweeter they smell. The more
de-gs take after you, tjia quicker you will
get to t he gate.
You have noticed that different flecks of
sheep have different marks upon them;
sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue
mark, sometimes a straight mark and
sometimes a crooked mark. The Lord our
Shepherd has a mark for his sheep. It is
a red mark the mark of the cross.
"Blessed are they that are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the king
dom of heaven. ”
Furthermore, consider tho shopherds’
pasture grounds. The old. shepherds used
to take the sheep upon the mountains
in the summer and dwell in the valleys in
the winter. The sheep being out of doors
perpetually, their wool was better than if
they had been kept in the hot atmosphere
of tho sheep cot. Wells were dug for the
sheep and covered with large stones, in or
der that tho hot weather might not spoil
tho water. And then the shepherd led
his flock wherever he would; nobody dis
puted his right. So the Lord our Shepherd
has a largo pasture ground. He takes us
in the summer to the mountains and in
the winter to the valleys. Warm days of
prosperity come and wo stand on sun gilt
Sabbaths, and on hills of transfiguration,
and wo are so high up we can catch a
glimpse of tho pinnacles of the heavenly
city. Then cold, wintry days of trouble
ce.mo, and we go down into tho valley of
sickness, want and bereavement and we
say, "Is there any sorrow like unto my sor
row?" But, blessed be God, the Lord’s
sheep can find pasture any whero. Between
two rocks of trouble a tuft of succulent
promises: green pastures beside still wa
ters; long, sweet grass between bitter
graves You hav;e noticed the structure of
the sheep’s mouth? It is so sharp that it
can take up a blade of grass or clover top
from the very narrowest spot. And so
God’s sheep can pick up comfort where
others can gather none. “The secret o£
the Lord is with them that fear him.”
Rich pasture, fountain fed pasture, for all
the flock of the Good Shepherd!
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacre;’ Sweets
Bel ore v. •> reach the heavenly fields
Or walk the golden streets.
The Shepherd's Fold.
Lastly consider tho shepherd’s fold.
The ti: e of sheep shearing was a very
glad time. The neighbors gathered to
g ther, and they poured wine and danced
for joy. Tho sheep were put in a place In
closed by a wall, where it was very easy to
count them and know whether any of
them had been taken by the jackals or
dogs. The inclosure was called the sheep
fold. Good news I have to tell you, in that
our Lord tho Shepherd has a sheepfold,
and those who are gathered it; it shall nev
er be struck by the storm, shall never bo
touched by the jackals of temptation and
trouble. It has a high wall—so high that
no troubles can get in, so high that the joys
cannot get out. How glad the old sheep
will be to find the lambs that left them a
good many years ago! Millions of children
in heaven! Oh, what a mercy heaven it
will make! Not many long meter psalms
there! They will be in the majority and
will run away with our song, carrying it
up to a still higher yeint of ecstasy. Oh,
there will be shouting! If children on
earth clapped their hands and danced for
joy. what will they -Jo when to the glad
ness of childhood on earth is added the
gladness of childhood in heaven?
It istimawc got over these morbid ideas
of how wo shall get outol this world. You
make your religion an undertaker planing
coffins and driving hearses. Your reli
gion smells of the varnish of a funeral cas
ket. Rather let yeur religion today come
out and show you tho sheepfold that God
has provided for you. Ah, you say, there
is a river between this and that! I know
it. but that Jordan is only for tho sheep
washing, and they shall go up on the oth
er banks snow white. They follow the
great Shepherd. They heard his voice
long ago. They are safe,now—one fold
and one Shepherd!
Alas for Xhose who are finally found out
side tbo inclosure! The night of their sin
bowls with jackals. They are thirsting
for their blood. The very moment that a
lamb may be frisking upon the hills a
bear may be looking at it from the thicket.
The Joy of Victory.
In June, 1815. there was a. very noble
party gathered in a house in St. James
square, London. Tne prince regent was
present, and the occasion was made fasci
nating by music and banqueting and by
jewels. While a quadrille was being formed,
suddenly all the people rushed to the win
dows. What is the matter? Henry-Percy
bad arrived with the news that Waterloo
had been fought and that England bad
won the day. The dance was abandoned,
the party dispersed, lords, ladies and mu
sicians rushed into tho street, and in 15
minutes from the first announcement of
the good news the house was emptied of
; all its guests.. Oh, ye who ar§, seated al
the banquet ol thia world or whirling in
its gayeties and frivolities, if you could
hear the sweet strains of the gospel trum
pet announcing Christ's victory over sin
and death and heli, you would rush forth,
glad in the eternal deliverance! The Wa
terloo against sin has been fought, and
our Commander In Chief hath won tho
day. Oh, the joys of this salvation! Ido

The Greatest Discovery Yet.
W. P. Repine, editor Tiskilwa “Chief,"
says: "We won’t keep house without Dr.
King’s New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds. Experimented with
many others, but never got the true reme
dy until we used Dr. King's New Discov
ery. No other remedy can take its place
in our home, as in it we have a certain
and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with
other remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is "guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

GETTING READ/ FOR BALL.
The Mercer Boys Will Have New Uniforms
For This Season.
The students out at Mercer who are in
terested in the ball team are making a
canvass of the cify for help to buy new
uniforms for the ball team. The treasure'

The members of the team will help buy
the uniform, but it has been decided to
buy uniforms that will last for some time,
and of the best make. The first games will
be played on April 30th, with Auburn, at
Columbus. The game with Milledgeville,
which was to have .been played the first
day of April, has been cancelled, on ac
count of the inability of the Cadets to get

THE KRUPPS.
"fir- . .
The Great Shops of the German Gun
makers.
Th? city o' Essen is located in the cen
tre of a hill valley, which abounds in ecal
and Iron ore, and the diging for both and
the milting of the ore and casting it Into
ingots and iciii i; into bars rave been
been the oacui-atlor.s ol the uii»ai»i:au:s far
centuries past, says rae Ire” A’se- Rf* A,
rich Krupp, the founder work
bea:;r_e e:s name. Ar " "Lru in 1757. and
v.: n crucible cast steel was hting intro
duced into England, and its importation
from there into Germany had been made
impassible through the edict of Napoleon
called “the coniiner.tal-sperre.” F. Krupp
began to preduee crucible ea--t steel, first
in small quantities for fiks,'stamps, roils
rolls for coins and shears, but only slowly
could he cor,vince and p.-rsuade German
manufacturers to use Ms cast steel, and
after a life full of disappointments and
hardships he died in 1826, after a long and
severe illness, leaving to ais son Alfred
little else than the old homestead, which
still stands in the midst of the great works
and the secret of his invention.
Alfred Krupp's energy and enterprise
scon conquered. His first success was to
be able to furnish cast steel of a varying
degree of hardness, thereby increasing iis
adaptability for many new purposes. Next
came the invention of the weldless car
wheel tires, yhich were patented in all
rou ntries inlßs3,an d furnished him cap
ital for enlarging his plant. In 1865 he in
terested hitmself in coal mines, iron ere
mines and furnaces, which should furnish
the material for his own works, and in 1867
he began to reap the harvest from his ex
.periments inaugurated long since with
steel cannon, and the great Franco-Ger
man war of 1870-71 proved beyond doubt
tljeir superiority as against the old bronze
cannons. Since then the success of thes?
works and their growth have been phe
nomenal, and when Alfred Krupp closed
the busy and successful and philanthropic
work of his life in 1887 at Villa Huegel. his
princely home on the side hills of the Val
ley of the Ruhr, the city of Essen, in re
cognition of his great work, erected a
beautiful monument on the mert't prominent
square of the city, and deputations from
many rfa-tions mourned at his grave.
Essen is a city of 26,000 inhabitants, and
over 20,000 of this population are employed
in the works of the able and energetic son
of Alfred Krutpp—Friedrich Alfred. Over
1,200 acres of ground are covered with
buildings and machinery. Many coal -mines
furnish fuel for the works, over 400 iron
ore mines furnish the metal, and large iron
ore deposits in Spain, near Bilboa, have
been built, which bring over 300,000 tons
of this Spanish iron ore rrc-u Spain to the
German coast and up the Rhine. Twenty
furnaces at Duisburg and Neuwied-on-the-
Rhine are reducing this ore for the Krupp
works, and are owned or controlled by
them.
The main street of Essen divides the
Krupp works into two parts, connected
overhead with innume’ra'bie -mammoth
steam pipes and bridges, -and parallel with
i-t, running east -and west, the tracks of the
Rhenish railway pass the works in the
north, while in the south the railroad lead
ing from Dusseldorf to Bremen, Hamburg
and Berlin skirts the mill. Innumerable
tracks connect these two main lines of
railroad, surrounding in an inextricable
network the buildings and crossing the
street loading to Muelheim below its level,-
Powerful locomotives bring train loads of
raw material into the yards, and leave the
works with valuable products, finished and
ready for shipment. 0 all parts of the globe.
Miniature buildings and cars move about
between the buildings on narrow gauge
■tracks, bringing material- of Smaller size
from one building to another until It is
finished and ready for the market.

Mrs. Skelton Napier, Dovedale, Bald

ago Munvon’s Remedies cured me of
Dvspepsia, Heart Trouble, and General
Debilit;/ after I had sought relief from
many directions in vain. There has been
no return of the disease since that time,
and 1 am feeling perfectly well, thanks
to Munjon.”
Mr. G. VV. West, mineral expert, Bir
mingham, Ala., says: “ Most gratefully
■do' I acknowledge she benefits derived
from your valuable treatment and reme
dies. I was considerably run down, and
after taking your Liver, Dyspepsia, and
Special Debility Cures, I have been re
stored to health.” „
Mr C. J. Crippen, Kissimmee. Osceola
Countv. Fla., writes: “ I was somewhat
run down, and feeling badly from Gen

Home office for treatment, and now am
happy to s.'iv that ray trouh’r is all gone.

Munyon has a separate specific for each

feet, and give ‘a written guarantee that !
“If the above named roof leaks or needs .

out any expense to owner of building.”

We know Mr. Harvey English to be a
citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a

The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is one ;
of the most satisfactory pieces of work
which I ever had done. He stopped all
leaks in a large tin roof, and there were a
great many. His whole transaction was
fair, business-like and satisfactory. Re- j
spcctfully, A. W. Muse.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 28, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the roof
of the engine room of the Albany Water
works with his roof paint, and 1 am well
satisfied with the work. He has also done
some work for me personally, two years
ago, which has proved satisfactory.

I have had my tin roof painted by Mr.
English. It leaked vens’- badly. Since it !
was painted it HAS NOT LEAKED A

McCall that leaked so badly that nd one
would rent it. He had it painted and
worked on until he bad about decided that

leaked so badty that in times of a heavy

down all work and wait until the rain was
over. Mr. English painted the roof with
his English Roof Paint, stopped the leaks,
