SYMPTOMS OF MADNESS.
A SENSATIONAL STORY FROM
PeRIS ABOUT THE KAISER.
How He Came to Break His Knee
Cap— On Board the Man-of-War Be
Orders the First Officer Below
and Takes Command of the Ship.
The Second Officer Pounced Upon
by the Emperor, Who Falls and
Sustains the Injuries Above Stated.
Paris, Aug. IC.—The Paris Eclair, which
is not given to sensationalism, prints the
following story as confirmed by unques
tioned authority:
Ou the night following the departure of
the imperial yaoht Hobenzollern from Eng
land the orew was beaten to quarters, and
were surprised to find the quarter deck
brilliantly illuminated.
WHAT MET THEIR GAZE.
An altar had been erected on the dock
bearing the Old and New Testaments, and
the kaiser stood by wearing a white chasu
ble wttb a crozier in his hand and a blank
and white miter on his head. He read the
most war-liko passages from the Testa
ments, and invited the crew to respond. He
then preached a long sermon on the duty of
sovereigns to their people, the whole serv
ice lasting from 11 p. m. to 2 a. m.
THE KAISER TAKES COMMAND.
The crew was piped below. At 5 o’clock
the kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uni
form of a high admiral, looking extremely
haggard, and, addressing tho commander,
raid: * ‘Sir, retire to your cabin; I shall
take charge.”
The commander replied: "Sire, permit
me to observe that we are in a dangerous
1 as-age and that it is advisable for your
majesty’s safety, as well as for that of the
crev/, that a sailor romnln in command.”
The emperor responded: "Never mind,
God will inspire me.”
The commander bowed and retired. The
second officer remaining, the emperor
angrily bade him retire, the offioer respect
fully protesting.
ASSAULTS THE OFFICER.
The emperor said: "You resist, you
wretched creature. You trouble the spirit
of God w hich is in me. This is the ven
geance of God upon you,” dealing the officer
a heavy blow on the cheek.
The officer turned oriuison, but remained
until the emperor seized him by the throat
and tried to throw him overboard. In the
struggle that followed the emperor fell and
broke his knee cap. The sailors watohed
the scene paralyzed with fear. The occur
rence was one that cannot be forgotten.
SYMPTOMS OF MADNESS.
The emperor howled with pain. His eyes
started from their sockets. He foamed at
the mouth. He swore terribly and, in
fact, displayed all the symptoms of
madness. The officers, after a brief
consultation, carried him to a
cabin padded with mattresses. Nobody
was permitted to enier except the doctor
and empress. Men were necessary to help
restrain him until his leg was bandaged
and a straight jacket was put on him. The
crisis lasted three days.
JAY GOULD NOT ILL.
The Railroad Magnate Spending His
lime In Hunting and Fishing.
San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 16.— There
is absolutely no foundation for the reports
that Jay Gould is seriously ill at Soda
Springs, Idaho. Parties who have just re
turned, and who met him, deny positively
all such reports.
A special train of three cars is switched
on the siding while tho party is in the
country fishing and hunting. W henever a
good fishing ground is reached a lineman
cuts the telegraph wires and puts in an In
strument, so that ooustant communication
is kept up with the outer world. Manager
Clark of the Union Pacific railroad is Air.
Gould’s constant companion.
THEY ARK ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
The Gould party takes long drives off
into the country, miles away from civiliza
tion, and enjoys camping out at the ranches
they come across. The party will probably
reach Salt Lake early next week. It is not
fully decided vet whether they will visit
California or not. Mr. Gould is anxious to
6pend several weeks at Yosemite, and for
this reason he may conclude to come to the
coast.
INDIANA’S MYSTERY.
A Fissure in the Earth in Shelby
County Causing Alarm.
Columbus, Ind., Aug. 16.— About a year
ago a great eruption took place in Shelby
county, near the Bartholomew county line,
at the headwaters of the Flat Hock river.
The earth cracked open all over a four-acre
tract. Some fishermen had left a fire burn
ing. and the natural gas escaping was sot
ou fire, burning for several days. At that
time the water from the river shut off the
Bow of gas, and the fire went out.
THROWING OUT WATER AND STONES.
Since that time and untii Friday night
there has been no disturbance, but Friday
night near residents were aroußed by a low
murmuring noise in that direction. Dur
ing all yesterday and to-day there has
been thrown high in the air from the
fissure, water and stones. It is not known
how wide the fissure is, as it is at the bot
tom of the river. So far, the escaping gas
has been prevented from being ignited.
The inhabitants in that part of the state are
alarmed.

Just before the rope was out. The bal
loon shot up in tho air, and at the bight of
8,000 feet it encountered a storm
and burst. It fell for over a
mile like so much lead, then,
fortunately for the occupants of the car,

the Desperado in Crime.
Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 16.—A special
to the Times-Union from Gainesville, Fla.,
says that the man shot near Bronson yes
terday, and supposed to be Harmon Mur

Sheriff Carson at Branford, Fla., about six
months ago. He was a desperate character,
only second t > Murray in crime and blood

and brought here on a warrant sworn out
by the Atlanta Carriage and Hardware
Company charging him with cheating and
swindling. He Is now detained at police
headquarters. His preliminary trial will be
held to-morrow. Mr. Ammons says it is a

come out all right and sue them for black
mail and false imprisonment.
Tbomasville’a Colored Lecturer.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 16.—Jack Car
ter, one of Thomasville’s most intelligent
negroes, addressed the colored alliance in
the court house yesterday. Jack is the
state lecturer of the colored alliance. He
makes a very humorous speech, touohing in
a random way upon ail sorts of subjects.
The effect of the serious part of his lecture,
if it has any effest, can only tend to preju
dice his ignorant hearers agaiust all classes
except their own. Reiterating what white
men have already said, ha tells them that
the farmers of the country are the pack
horses that carry all the load of everybody
else. He represents other people as vam
pires sucking the life blood from the farm
ers. Not only professional men and loafers,
but even hard toilers in other fields of in
dustry, are included in this parasitical
horde. His dupes utter enthusiastic arnens
to all this man’s falsehoods.

SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1891.
PROFITS OF OUR FARMS.
$1,000,000,000 MORE THIS TH&N
REJENT YEAR3.
The Estimated Grain Crops 28.3 Fer j
Cent. Greater Than Last Year—Value
of the Cereals —The Enormous In
creases as Shown by the American
Agriculturist.
New York, Aug. 16.—The farm profits
will be 31,000,000,000 more this year in the
United States than they have been during
the recent years of depression. At least
this is the estimate put forward by the
American Agriculturist in its annual re
view of harvests, to be published in the
forthcoming September issue of that maga
zine.
THE ESTIMATED GRAIN CROP.
On the basis of the present prospects this
authority estimates tho corn crop of 1801 at
2,000,000,000 bushels, wheat 500,000,000
bushels and oats 622,000,000 bushels, against
1,500,000,000, 400,000,000 and 524,000,000
bushels respectively in 1891, and 1,700,000,-
000, 445,000,000 and 578,000,000 bushels as
the average for the preceding eleven years.
This makes the total prospective crop of
com, wheat and oats 3,122,000,000 bushels,
or 28.8 per oent. greater than lasi year ami
14.7 per cent, over the average of the pre
ceding eleven years.
VALUE OP THE CEREALS.
The American Agriculturist believes
that unless unexpected influences wholly
change the ourrent of events the value of
corn on the farm will average in
December fully 50 oents per bushel,
wheat J l per bushel, and oats at
least 40oents. On this basis tbe value of
the corn crop to farmers will be $1,000,000,-
000, wheat $500,000,000, and oats $250,000,-
000, or a total of $1,750,000,000.
THE ENORMOUS INCREASE.
This is $450,000,000 more than tho value
of the crops in 189 U and $635,000,000 more
than tbe value of the average of these crops
from 1880 to 1890 inclusive.
Cotton and rye will command better
prices than last season.
THE CATTLE MARKET.
Cattle are worth one-third more than
eighteen months ago, with other live stock
in proportion.
Tobacco is advancing heavily foroigar
leaf, oontraots being made for tbe crop in
the field at an advance of 15.50 per cent,
over last year.
Hops are firm at good prices. Winter
fruit will command large values, and all
vegetables are vielding fairly with every
indication of a remunerative market.
THE EXPORT OUTLOOK.
The paper, continuing, says: “The ex
port outlook was never better; Immensely
increased sums will be sent to us for our
produce. Ulterior influences may, of
course, interfere with this brilliant pros
pect, but we confess we are beginning to
share more fully the hopes of certain well
informed but conservative agriculturists,
who prediot better profits for the
farmers of the United States during the
next five years than ever before.” The
American Agriculturist says There will be
no return to ‘ "war prices," but the money
received above expenses will go further
and enable tbe farmer to more get value out
of his profits than at any previous period.
ATLANTA’S MAYOR
Ho Attends Dr. Hawthorne’s Sunday
School.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—Mayor Hemp
hill has for years been one of the most
prominent members of the Methodist
church in Atlanta. Last Sunday when
there was such a moral storm raised over
his order allowing the street car work to be
done on Sunday, no church was more em
phatic in its denunciation than the Metho
dist ohuroh, no one of the Methodist
churohes more than Trinity, of whioh Mr.
Hemphill is a member. He has always re
sponded liberally to the calls of his church
and denomination for financial assistanoe.
When Trinity led the attack last Sunday
the mayor felt that he had been very un
charitably and unfairly dealt with.
AT WORK AGAIN ON SUNDAY.
To-day tho street car company’s track
men were at work agalu, this time on the
W bitehall line. They were at work under
an order from the mayor. That was signifi
cant.
This morning, moreover, the mayor was
missed from his accustomed place
in the Sunday school at Trin
ity church. That was significant.
It appeared subsequently that the
mayor attended Sunday sohool, not at an
other Methodist churoh, but at the First
Baptist. That was alse taken as significant.
He actually made a talk to the First Baptist
Sunday school, aud after that Dr. Haw
thorne, tho pastor, just back from his vaca
tion, made a talk.
DR. HAWTHORNE TALKS.
"I have found no place like Atlanta,” said
1 >r. Hawthorne, who is practical enough in
faith to know a desirable churchmember
when lie sees one, even of another denomi
nation, “ami abova all I wish to say that
I have seen no city more wisely aDd honestly
governed, and none whose chief magistrate
is more loyal in purpose and action to what
he considers the word of God, and the best
interests of the people over whom he pre
sides in such an able manner.”
MAYOR HEMPHILL GRATIFIED.
The mayor was naturally much
gratified at this reception, in marked
contrast to the treatment accorded
to him by the church of whioh he
has so long been a member. The
mayor is still a member of the Methodist
church, but people have gone from one
church to another before now.
AUGUSTA’S CRANK.
He Pays His Respects to President
Fhlnlzy and the Chronicle.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 16. — The crayon
crank who has been writing on the pave
ments and fences in Augusta for weeks
past, paid his respeots to the Chronicle and
President Phinizy of tbe Georgia railroad
to-day. His grievance against the Chroni
cle grows out of a discontinuance of his
“advanced thought” column in the Sunday
issue. He charges the Chronicle with being
behind the times, and advises I’resident
Phinizy to "do to others as he would have
others do to him,” referring probably to a
generous division of his wealth. In accord
ance with his socialistic teachings, the same
per ion is also distributing socialistic litera
ture among the factory operatives promis
ing three hours a day labor and similar rot.
Mrs. Polk’e Funeral.
Nashville. Tenn., Aug. 16.—The
funeral of Mrs. James K. Polk occurred
here at 10 o’clock this morning. There was
a great crowd present', but the services
were unostentatious. The remains were
placed besido those of her distinguished hus
band.
Drowned in the Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 16. Gus Lung,
a tailor of foreign oirth, was drowned in
the Tennessee river this afternoon while
bathing. He was an expert swimmer, and
It is supposed he was seized with cramps.
CLEVELANDANDTHE PRESIDENCY
Morrison and Carlisle Think to Get the
Nomination He Must Get New York.
New York, Aug. 16.—1 tis probably
only a coincidence, yet it is none the less
striking, that Senator Carlisle and William
R. Morrison have within a few days made
the same announcement respecting Mr.
Cleveland's candidacy. Carlisle, in an in
terview published a day or two ago, de
clared that while he believed Cleveland to
be tbe strongest personality iu the Demo
cratic party, yet it will be impossible to
nominate him unless he is preeeutod by the
New York delegation.
CoL Morrison is in town for a few days,
and he said yesterday that it would be use
less for Cleveland’s friends to look to his
nomination unless he is supported with
practloal unanimity by the New York dele
gation. Yet Mr. Carlisle and Col. Morrison
cannot hare talked with New York politi
cians without learning that there is not
much ohance that Mr. Cleveland will have
any considerable number of the New York
delegates. Therefore this utterance seems
to be only another way of saying that while
they are very sorry for it, yet Mr. Cleve
land is out of the question.
Carlisle and Morrison both of them bring
here some confirmation of the report thut
an agreement hew been reached by a major
ity of tbe members of the next House of
Representatives, after muoh correspond
ence this summer, to put a free ooinage bill
through the House as soon as congress
meets, and to send it to the Prestdeut, if
possible, before the adjournment for the
holiday recoss.
MILLS’ viawa.
He Predicts Democratic Success In
lowa.
Washington, Aug. 10.— Representative
Mills of Texas, who has been making demo
cratic speeches in lowa, roaohed the city
last evening. He is In splendid health, sun
burned and hearty. Of oourse he would not
discuss the speakership oontest or the presi
dential outlook. He observed the same
reticence out west, but his silenae there did
not deter the enterprising correspondents
from publishing all manner of interviews
with him. In a Kansas City paper he was
made to say that he did not helievo Camp
bell would be elected in Ohio, and in other
journals he appeared in fiotitious interviews
as discussing national affairs at great
length.
Mr. Mill! U confident of demooratio suc
cess in lowa. He believes that not only
will Gov. Boies be re-elected, but he is
equally certain that the Democrats will
carry the state tioket and the legislature.
The election of the latter would not, how
ever, affeot the complexion of the United
States Senate, as the legislature to be
chosen next fall does not name a senator.
The democrats will be aided simply in hav
ing some holdover state senators as a
nucleus for the next legislature. Mr. Mills
found a great deal of enthusiasm among the
lowa democrats, and his speeches were
listened to by large crowds.
Having returned to Washington. Mr.
Mills resume work upon his tariff book.
He will continue this labor, with slight in
termissions, until October, whan he will go
out to Ohio and make a number of speeches
in advocacy of Gov. Campbell. Hs thinks
that the latter will be elected.
THB DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.
Repeal of the McKinley Act the First
Business of the Session.
Washington, Aug. Id. —Before congress
meets the democrats of the House are to de
termine in cauous not only who shall have
the speakership and the other House offices,
but what shall be the general programme of
legislation. The first thing on the pro
gramme, according to the democratic
leaders who have bean corresponding
together this summer, will be a
bill to repeal the McKinley tariff act. It is
to be passed, it possible, before anything else
is done by the House—except to elect offi
cers—even before the appointment of the
committees.
THE ISSUE WILL BE FORCED.
If the Senate does not pass it, or if the
Senate passes it and the President vetoes
it, the democrats will be equally satisfied at
having foroed tho issue on their opponents.
Their theory, of oourse, is that tho repeal of
the McKinley act will leave the tariff law
of 1883 in force. This they could afterward
Eraceed to amend by either separate
ilia dealing each with one subject, or in a
general bill, prsferably the former. A
separate bill repealing tho taxes on raw
materials would pass the Senate, it is be
lieved, whan a general tariff revision
would not. Quick, sharp, dramatic action
is desired by all the democratio leaders,

SUMMONED BY HARRISON.
Elkins and Clarkson Spend Sunday
Discussing How to Raise Boodle.
Washington, Aug. 16.—1 t is stated that
Elkina and Clarkson were summoned to
Cape May Point and last Sabbath was spent
in discussing the means to raise $lOO,OOO for
the Ohio campaign, which Quay had prom
ised to raise and failed to provide, and that
Elkins agreed to raise $60,000 and IVaus
maker Is to raise the rest. It is also stated
that one reason why Quay will have noth
ing more to do with President Harrison is
because he refused to promote Second
Lieut. ‘Andrew Gregg Curtin Quay to a
captainoy in one of the staff corps of the
army.
HANGED TO A TREE.
Father and Son Taken From a Guard
and Lynched.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 16.—A special
from Cullman to the Ape-Herald says: A
few days ago Monroe Evans and bis son,
John, were arrested at Baileyton, in that
oouutv, charged with shooting Pierce
Jlooney last May. On Saturday they were
taken before the local justice of the peace,
who declined to try them, but bound them
over without bail. They were put
under guard at a neighbor’s
bouse over night. About midnight
they were taken from the house and hanged
to a tree. The guard says a large crowd
came up, and, supp- ing them to be Evans’
friends come to rescue the prisoners, they
fled. Mconey has about recovered from bis
wounds of last May, and good citizens are
indignant at the lynch mg that seeing to
have been without palliation.

Amsterdam, Aug. 10.— the exercises of
the world’s convention of the Young Men’s
Christian Association to-day wore entirely
of a religious nature. Iu the evening a
large publio meeting was held, Count von
Hogendorf presiding. The convention has
been a very successful one, aud will bo spe
cially holpful to the struggling associations
of the continental countries. It is tho first
convention in which real missionary Young
Men’s Christian Association work for young
men has been represented, and a statement
in regard to the wore in Japan, aud in
other oountries carried on under the direc
tion of the American international com
mittee, elicited much interest.
As papers under discussion were inter
changeable in Dutch, English, French and
Gorman, tho services of interpreters were
necessary. It was not a little remarkable
how generally the delegates from most of
the countrios spoke English.
To-morrow most of the delegates will
leave this city, the Americans for Paris, the
Rhine aud a little trip on tbe continent,
sailing for home generally the last of Au
gust.

INFLUX OP* RUSSIAN REFUGEES.
An Appeal From the B’nal B'rlth fop
Assistance for Tnem.
New York, Aug. 16.—The chief officers
of the Hebrew benevolent society B’nai
B'rlth have issued a circular to the subordi
nate lodges to take immediate notion to
help the Russian refugees of their race who
are now being landed in stioh numbers here.
They will 00-operute with tha trustees of
the Baron Hirsch fund. The subordinate
members are directed to communicate with
the executive committee, with their graud
lodges and lodges tu their respective dis
tricts, aud with other existing or
ganizations in their locality having
similar objects in view, in order to
select such assistance and take such steps as
will serve for the purpose of finding posi
tions where work is required anil where
workmen can lie placed. It is well known
that in many country places there is |a
dearth of lub rera, and whero able-bodied
men and women, willing to work are ever
welcome. Not charity of money Is needed,
but charity of heart. Personal exertion is
required; self-sacrifice and a devotiou to a
duty incumbent upon us as Amerioan citi
zens, nut to speak of the fuct that we are
American Israelites.”
Every Eugllah steamer now lands a num
ber of these unfortunate refugees, and It is
with the utmost difficulty that their coun
trymen here cau preveut their belug seut
back under the now immigration laws.
Complaint, too, comes from the colony
recently started in New Jersey. It Is alleged
that those who have settled in Hightttown
have not been fairly treated. They are
suffering from want of food, and in place
of the farms promised them they have been
set to work at contract clothing at “sweat
shop” wages. The greed of landowners and
local opposition to the colony are elements
in the trouble for these unfortunate victims
of persecution.
Their lot in the city is no more attractive.
The Hester street tenements, where most of
them swarm, are In this weather a disgrace
to common human ty. As soon as they get
a chance to leave them they do so. During
the past year about 6,000 have crossed over
to the Sixteenth ward in Brooklyn and set
up their homes and workshops there. It
used to boa tumbled-dowu aud poor neigh
borhood, and property owners weloome tha
Hebrews because the locality in whioh they
are settling was heretofore Inhabited by
drunken men and women, both black and
white, and property thoro was of little
value. Now p. ices have gone up there from
35 to 50 per cent. Old shanties have
been rebuilt, and the neighborhood is better
than it was. Hut the Hebrews have now to
face a strong local feeling of anti-Semitism,
almost as bad as the dirt and ill-health of
the New York tenements, This week an
anoymous circular has been sent out all over
the ward calling upon the publio “to re
move these poople, either lawfully or law
lessly, because they live like pigs aud work
for less than o oanly people cau live upon.”
There is tome talk of holding a publio meet
ing iu the matter, and the police have their
hands full every day protecting the He
brews from the Insults and assaults of the
hoodlums of the neighborhood. It is an
Imitation of their “darkest Russia” experi
ence.
CALVIN PAG® MADE HAPPY.
Two Daughters Captured by Indians
. Years Ago Recovered.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 15.— Calvin Page
arrived home from Dakota to-day with his
two daughters, having recovered thorn from
the Chiute baud of Indians, in whose cus
tody (bey have been for the last twelve
years. In 1870 Mr. Page and bis wife, who
had married against the wishes of their
parents, went west, stopping for six months
at St. Joseph, Mo. Then they joined a party
of squatters and went to Dakota, where two
children, both girls, were born and whero
they were soon living In comfort and plenty,
Mr. Pago being the owner of a fine herd.
They staid in that svoUon some six years,
iieing on friendly terras with a tribe of
Indians, who lived twenty miles away and
who paid them occasional friendly visits.
The Indians appeared to think a good
deal of the children. One day a caravan in
passing through the settlement saw the
Indians, and fired upon them, driving them
away. The next day the ludians returned
with their war paint on, burned Mr. Page’s
dwelling, and carried the whole family
away as captives. He was bound to a tree,
his wife was takan with hysterics and died
before his eyes, and the children were ear
ned away. Nearly two days later he was
found aud released by some cowboys.
Then he joined a prospecting party aud
succeeded in accumulating considerable
money. Mr. Page returned to Boiton last
April, where he found a letter from the
Indian reservation nesr Fort Garland,
dated Aug. 6, 1888, and addressed to his
father-in-law, in which the writer ex
pressed the belief that the two girls were
still alive in the Indian settlement of
Urases. Almost frantic with joy Mr. Page
obtained the necessary papers, visited the
reservation, and regained possession of his
long-lost children.

BORROWING TROUBLE.
DH. TALMAGE'S SERMON ON THIS
VE.HY FOOLISH HABIT.
It Fills You With Despondency and
Unfits One for Duty—The Shadows
cf To-day Are Thick Enough—You
Mty Wind Along Dangerous Bridle
Paths, but the Way &till Winds Up
ward Till Angels Guard it—Put Every
thing In God's Hand and Leave It
There.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Dr. Tal
mage has returned from his western tour re
invlgorated in health and cheered by the
hearty and enthusiastic greeting he has re
ceived in the uumeraus cities he has visited.
Thousands of persons who havo read his
sermons in their local newspapers have
struggled to get within sound of his voice
whorovt-r he has spoken. His sermon this
week is on the very common and foolish
habit of borrowing trouble, and bis text is
Matthew vi; 34: “Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof."
The life of every man, woman and ohild
is as closely under the divine oire as though
such person were the only man, woman or
ohild. There are no accidents. As there is
a law of storms in the natural world, so
there is a law of trouble, a law of disaster,
a law of misfortune; but the majority of
the troubles of life are imaginary and tha
most of those anticipated never oome. At
any rate, there is no cause of complaint
against God. See how much he hath
done to make thee liappv; his sunshine
filling the earth with glory", making rain,
lio w for the storm and halo for the moun
tain, greenness for the moss, saffron for tha
cloud, and crystal for the billow, and pro
cession of bannered flame through tbs
opening gates of tue morning, chaffinches
to sing, rivers to glitter, seas to ohaut, and
springs to blossom, ana overpowering all
other sounds with its song, and overarching
all other splendor with its triumph, cover
ing up all other beauty with its garlands,
and outflashlng all other thrones wish its
dominion deliverance for a lost world
through the Great Redeemer.
I discourse of the sin of Itorrowiug trouble.
First: Such a habit of mind aud heart
is wrong, because it puts one into a de
spondency that ill fits him for duty. I
planted two rosebushes in my garden; the
one thrived beautifully, the other perished.
I found the dead one on the shady side of
the house. < lur dispositions, like our plants,
need sunshine. Expectancy of repulse is
the cause of many secular and religious fail
ures. Fear of bankruptcy has upturn many
a flue business, and sent the man dodging
among the note-shavers. Fear of slander
and abuse has often invited all the loug
beaked vultures of soorn and backbiting.
Many of the misfortunes of Ilfs, like hyenas,
flee if you oourageously meet them.
How poorly prepared for religious duty
is a man who sits down under the gloom of
expected misfortune! If he pray, he says,
"1 do got think I shall be answered." If be
give, fie lavs, “I expect they will steal the
money."' Helen Chalmers told me that her
father, Thomas Chalmers, In the darkest
hour of the history of the Free Church of
Scotland, and when the woes of the land
seemed to weigh upon his heart, said to the
children, “Come, let us go out and play
ball or fly kite," and the only difficulty in
the play was that the children could nut
keep up with their father. The M’Cheynes
and the Summerflelds of the church who
did the most good, cultivated sunlight.
Away with the horrors! they distil poison;
tney dig graves; and, if they could climb so
high, they would drown the rejoloings of
heaven with sobs and wailing.
You will havo nothing but misfortune in
the future if you sedulously watch for It.
How shall a man catch the right kind of
fish if be arranges his line, and hook, and
bait to catch lizards aud water serpents!
Hunt for hats ami hawks, and bats and
hawas you will find. Hunt for robin red
breasts, and you will find robin redbreasts.
One night an eagle and uu owl got into
iloroe battle; the eagle, unused to the night,
was no match for au owl, which is most aO
home in the darkness, and the king of the
air fell helpleee; but the morning rose, and
with it rose the eagle; and the owls, and
the night-hawks, ami the hats cams a sec
ond time to the oombat; now the eagle, in
the sunlight, with a stroke of bis talons and
a great cry, cleared the air, and his snemies,
with torn feathers and splashed with blood,
tumbled into the thickets. Ye are the chil
dren of light. In the night of despondeDoy
you will have no chance against your ene
mies that flock up from beneath, but, trust
ing in God and standing in the sunshine of
the promises you shall “renew your youth
like the eagle.”
Again : The habit of borrowing trouble
is wrong, because it has a tendency to make
us overlook present blessing. To slake man’s
thirst, the rock is deft, ana cool waters leap
into his brimming cup. To feed his hunger,
the fields bow down with bending wheat,
aud the oattle oome down with full uddere
from the clover pastures to give him milk,
and the orohards yellow and ripen, casting
their juicy fruits Into his lap. Alas ! that
amid such exuberance of Pleasing, man
should growl as though he were a soldier on
half rations, or a sailor on short allowance;
that a man should stand neck- leep in
harvests looking forward to famine ;
that one should feel the strong pulses
of health marching with regular tread
through all the avenues of life, and yet
tremble at the expected assault of siokuess;
that a man should sit in his pleasant home,
fearful that ruthless want will tome day
rattle the broken window sash with tempest,
and sweep the coals from the hearth, uLd
pour hunger into the bread-tray; that a
man fed by him who owes all the harvetts
should expect to starve; that one whau
God loves aud surrounds with bonedictb n,
and attends with angelic escort, and hovers
over with more than motherly fond
ness, should be looking for a herit
age of tears! Has God been hard with
then, that thou sbouldst be forebod
ing! Has he stinted tby board? Has he cov
ered thee with rags? Has he spread traps
for thy feet, and galled tby cup, and
rasped thy soul, and wrecked thee with
storm, and thundered upon tbee with a life
full of calamity? If your father or brother
come into your bank where gold aud silver
are lying about, you do not watch them,
for you know they are honest, but if ah
entire stranger come by the safe, you keep
your eye upon him, for you do not know
hi* designs. So loins men treat God; not
as a father, but a stranger, and act suspi
ciously toward him, as though they were
afraid he would steal something.
It is high time you began to thank God
for present blessing. Thank him for your
children, happy, buoyant and bounding.
Praise him for your home, with its fountain
of song and laughter. Adore him for morn
ing light and evening shadow. Praise him
for fresh, cool water, bubbling from tha
rock, leaping in the cascade, soaring in tha
mist, falling in the shower, dasiiiug against
the rock and clapping its hauds in the tem
pest, Love him for the grass that cushions
the earth, and the clouds that curtain tha
sky, and the foliage that waves iu the for
est. Thank him for a Bible to read and a
cross to gaze upon, and a Savior to deliver.
Many Christians think it a bad sign to be
jubilant, and tbeir work of self-examina
tion is a hewing down of tbeir brighter ex
periences. Like a boy with anew jack
knife, backing everything he oomes aor.se,
