I will tell him what to do. l>o as Jonathan did —climb; climb up Into the sunlight of God's favor iind consolation. 1 can go through the churches and show you men who lust for- ’ tune and health at the same time, and yet who sing all day and dream of heaven all night. If you have tiny idea that sound digestion, and steady nerves, and clear eye sight, and giKal hearing, and plenty of i friends are necessary to make a man hap py, you have miscalculated. I suppose th it these overhanging toeks only made Jonathan set mible the hunter and the ■ faster to g. t up and out into the sunlight, and this compile'll shallow of invalidism and tinanclal embarrassment has often sent liman up the quicker into the sunlight I of Gtxi’s favi r and the noonday of hi- , glorious promises It is a difficult thing for a num to feel i his dejkijidence u{sm God when he has ; f 10,000 in the bank, mid $50,000 in gov eminent seeurit:- < mid a bhu-k of stores < an-i three ships "We’l ' the man says to . 1 ' - 'f. “it is silly for m<- to pray, 'Give m i d- day my daily bread,’ when my j pantry i< full und the canals from the west i me < w-wd'-d with brwxlstuffs destined for . my st'-n-iiouses “ Oh. my friends, if the combined misfortunes and disasters of life have made you climb up into the arms of . a sympathetic and compassionate God, | through all eternity you will him | that in this world “then> was a shlwp rock on the ono side and a sharp rock on the j Other side. ” Way,i of the World. Again, that man is in the crisis of the text who has home troubles and outside persecution at the same time The world treats a man well just as long as it pays to treat Kim well. As long as it can man- i ufiicture success out of his bone and brain and muscle it favors him The world fat tens the horse it wants to drive. But let a man see it his duty to cross the track of the world, then every bush Is full of horns and tusks thrust at him. They will be- ! little him. They will caricature him. ibey xv ill call his generosity gelt' aggran- * —** - diz-Tnontand his j;’- ty snncrimonioG?T><'«s. The very worst persecution will sometimes come ujxm him from those who profess to lx- Christians. John Milton—great and good John Mil ton so far forgot himself as to pray In so many words that his enemies might be eternally thn-wn down into the darkest and deepest gulf of hell, and be the under most and m<.-t dejected, and the lowest down vassals ->f perdition And Martin Luther so far forgot hiin-a ls as to any in regard to his theological opponents, “Put them in whatever sauce you please, roast ed or fri-xl or i-aktsi or stewed or boiled or hashed they are nothing but asses!” Ah, my friends. If John Milton or Martin Luther could come down tz> such scurril ity what may you not cxfx-ct from less elevated opponents? Now, sometimes the world takes as;« r them, the now-papers take after them, public opinion takes after them, arid the unfortunate man is lied alx-ut until all tie- dictionary of Blllings g. to is exhauxti'd on him You often see a man whom you know to be good and pun- and honest, set uj>on by the world »n<l mauled by whole communities, while vicious men take on a supercilious air in condemnation of him. as though Lord Jeffreys should write an essay on gentle ness or Henry VIII talk about purity or King Henxi take to blessing little chil dren. Persecution Is an Inspiration. Now, a certain amount of persecution rouses a man’s defiance, stirs his blood for magnificent buttle and makes him 50 times morn a man than he would have been without the persecution. So it was with the great reformer when ho wild, "I will not be put down, 1 will be heard.” And so it was with Millard, the preacher, in the time of Ixmis XI When Louis X I sent word to him that unless he stopped preach ing in that style he would throw him into th-- riv- r he replied, “T,-l! the king that 1 will n-iii-h heaven sootier by water than he will reach it by fast horne» ” A certain timount of persecution is a tonic and in spiration, but too much of it, and too long continued becomes the rock Bozez throw ing a dark shadow over a man’s life What, is he to do then? Go home, you say Good advice, that. That is just tho place for u man to go when the world abuses him Go home Blessed bo God for our quiet and sympathetic homes! But there is many a man who has the reputation of having a home, w hen he has none Through unthlnkingnees or precipitation there are many mutches made that ought never to hove been made An officiating priest cannot alone unite a couple The Ixtrd Almighty must prix-hiim banns. 'There tire many homes tn which t here is no sym pathy und no happiness mid no good cheer. Tho clamor of the battle may not have been heard out-side, but God knows, not withstanding al) the playing of the wed ding march, and all tho odor of the orange blossoms, and the benediction of the officiating pastor, there has been no marriage. So sone times men have awak ened to ibid on one side of them the rock of persecution and on tho other side of t hem the reck of domes! ic infelicity What shall such u one do? Do as Jonathan did —climb Get up the heights of God’s con solation, from which you may look down in triumph upon outside persecution and home trouble While good and great John Wesley was being silenced iiy the magis trates and having his name written on the board fences of London in doggerel, at that very Lime his wife was making him as miserable .is she could acting as though she were posse-si it hy tho devil, as I sup pose she was. never doing him a kindness until the day she run away, so that ho wrote in his diary these words: “1 did not forsake her I have not dismissed her. I will not recall her.” Planting one foot upon outside {H-rsecution and tho other foot on homo trouble, John Wesley climb ed u]i into the heights of Christian joy, and after preaching 40,000 sermons and traveling 270,000 miles reached t he heights of beavon, though in this world he had it hard enough—“a sharp reckon the one side and a sharp roek on the other.” Despairing Women. Again, that woman stands in the crisis of the text who has bereavement and a struggle for n livelihood at the same time. Without mentioning names, I speak from observation. Ah, it is a hard tiling for a woman to make an honest living, even when her heart is not troubled, und she lias a fair cheek, anti the magnetism of an exquisite presence But now the husband or the father is dead The expenses of the obsequies have absorbed all that was left in tho savings bank, anil, wan and wasted with weeping and watching, she goes forth—a grave, a hearse, a coffin behind her—to contend for her existence and tho exlsteuce of her children When 1 see such a buttle as that open, 1 shudder at the ghastliness of the spectacle. Men sit with embroidered slippers and write heartless essays about women's wages, but that question is made up of tears and blood, and there is more blood than tears Oh, give woman free access to all the realms where she can get a livelihood, from tho telegraph office to the pulpit! Lot men’s wages bo cut down before hers are cut down Men have iron in their souls and can stand it. Make the way free to her of the broken heart May God put into my hand the cold, hitter cup of privation, and give me nothing but a vviudowless hut for shelter for many years rather than that after I tun dead there should go out from my home into the pitiless world a wom an’s arm to fight the Gettysburg, tho Aus terlitz, the Waterloo of life for broad I And yet how many women there are seated be tween tho rxtk of bereavement on the one ride and the rock of destitution on the other! Bozez and Seneh interlocking their shadows and dropping them upon her mis erable way. “There is a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp roek on the other side. ’ ’ What are such tod i? Somehow lot them -.•limb up into the ivights of the glorious promise: “Leave thy f.ith-?; n-children. 1 will preserve them alive mid let thy widows trust- in me.” Or get up into tho heights of that oihur glork us promise, “The Lord prvserveth the stronger and re lievetli the widow and th-- fatherless.” U ye sewing women on starving wages! O ye widows turned out from the once beau tiful home' Oye female teachers kept on niggardly stipend! Oy- despairing wom en seeking in vain for work, wandering along the dix ks and thinking to throw yourselves into the river last night! Oyo women of weak nerves, und m-inng sides, and short breath, and broken heart, you need something more than human sym pathy You netxi the sympathy of God. Climb up into his arms He knows it all, and he loves you more than father or mother or husband ever could or ever did, and instead of sitting down, wringing your hands in despair, you had better lie gin to climb There are heights of conso lation for you, though now “there is a sharp rook on one side and a sharp reek on the other side. “ The Sharpest of All Rocks. Again, that man is in the crisis of the text who has a wasted life on the one side and an unilluminated eternity on the oth er Though a man may all his life have cultured deliberation and seif poise, if he gi ts into that position ail his self posses sion is gone. There are all the wrong thoughts of his existence, all the wrong deeds, all the wrong words—strata above strata, granitic, ponderous, overshadow ing That reck I call Bozez On the oth er side are all the retributions of the fu ture. the thrones of judgment, the eternal ages, angry with his long defiance. That rock 1 call Seneh Between these two rocks 10,000 times 10,000 have perished. O man immortal, man redeemed, man bhxxi bought, climb up out of those shad ows 1 Climb up by the way of the cross. Have your wasted life forgiven Have your eternal life secured. This hour just take one look to the past and see what it has been, and take one look to the future and see what it threatens to be You can afford to lose your health, you can afford to lose your property, you can afford to lose your reputation, but you cannot afford to lose your soul That bright, gleaming, glorious, precious, eternal possession you must carry aloft in the day when the earth burns up and the heavens burst. You see from my subject that when a man gets into the safety and peace of the gospel he does not demean himself. There Is nothing In religion that leads to mean ness or unmanliness The gospel of Jesus Christ only asks you to climb as Jonathan did—climb toward God,climb toward heav en, climb into the sunshine of God’s favor. To become a Christian is not to go meanly down. It is to come gloriously up—up i&VJthg comtimtilpii us uu into ths peace that pm -eth all onuenlauding, up into tho companionship of angels. He lives upward, he dies upward.

Two revenue decisions of interest have been received from Commissioner Scott. One fr- in reference to demand notes, which was asked for by. several brokers and bankers in the city. The commissioner has ruled that demand notes, other than notes intended for circulation, are subject to the same tax and promissory notes, or two cents for each SIOO and two cents ad ditional for each SIOO or fraction over that amount. Partial payments of interest or principal are not deemed as renewals, un less a demand for the full payment has been made by the holder. Another decision is based upon a deed of release. The commissioner holds that a deed of release, although releasing from mortgae liens only a portion of the prop erty mortgaged, is a quit claim deed and is subject to the tax. A decision which interests the manufac turers of tobacco has been received and is as follows: “The special tax imposed on manufac turers of cigars, is to be computed in the basis of the annual sales for the preceding fiscal year. While persons who are only dealers in leaf tobacco, and who are sub ject to the special tax imposed therefor, these persons are advised thiat they should qualify as manufacturers of cigars, and in ease they assort, size, cut and clan their material in such -a manner, that it becomes merchantable and manufactured tobaooo; or granulated tobacco, they will be re quired to properly pack, label and stamp all such merchantable manufactured to bacco before the same is removed from the factory, as such product cannot be sold in bulk as material, and without payment of tax by one manufacturer directly to an other manufacturer, and 'before a special permit for transfer of material in such eases is issued, the collector should be satisfied that the same is not marchant able manufactured tobacco, the process of manufacture of which has been com pleted.” A CLEVER TRICK. It certainly looks like It. but there is really no trick about It. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. Tills medicine tones up tlie whole system, acts as astimulaat to the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipation, headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores the system to its natural vigor.

CANOVAS’SOUL Requiem Mass Io Be Said for It in New York City. New York, August 15—-Calmly ignoring the war manual, Alfredo Casal, a native of Ecuador, now living in Flushing, L. 1., has invited by means of an advertisement, "Spaniards, Spanish-Americans and all friends of Spain” to attend a requiem mas« tomorrow at St. Francis Xavier’s church ‘■for the repose of the soul of the distin guished Spanish statesman, Antonio Can ovas del Castillo, assassinated August 8, 1897.” In his simplicity Casal lost sight of the faot that it might prove an invidious thing for anybody to appear in public here as a professed “friend of Spain.” Casal is an elderly man and said to be wealthy.

Since the first bankruptcy petition was filed many people have beea . making further inquiries as to the good and bad results of filing such a paper. Os course a great deal has been pub lished on the subject, but it has been most ly in legal phraseology and may not have been as clear as a bell to everybody. Is it a disgrace, or in ocher words, how is a person looked on who files such a pe tition? was one of ohe questions asked to day by a certain party. As answer, it may be said it is not a stigma on character. Os course, creditors may look on the matter in a different light from the general public, for in the par lance of the day, “they lose" by the peti tion, unless the bankrupt, when he is in a position to pay does the right thing and settles with his creditors. While he is iu the position of being willing, but without means, and can see no means coming in the near future of settling his indebted ness, he does a perfectly legitimate and strictly moral thing in filing a petition to be adjudged a bankrupt. If he did not he could pay anyway and eo it is that the filing only relieves tfae strain on him and allows him a new start In the business world. Now, how would one go about becoming a bankrupt? Take a case where a person after having exhausted al! resources to wards settling his indebtedness, finds he is in no way of cancelling the debts. He would then hire a lawyer and have a bankruptcy petition drawn up. Here’s where a fee comes in. greater or less, ac cording as the case may be. AN HNTDReRLHfNG DRUGGIST.
