The person who goes into the chicken busi ness expecting simply to throw feed and gath er eggs, will find the credit side of his account alarmingly small. All food cooked for stock is more easily as similated than when raw. It is only a ques tion of cost in cooking. Roots cooked and thickened with ground grain make an excel lent mess for all kinds of stock. The Blessings of Fruit Raising. The Colorado Horticultural Society publish es a vigorous essay from one of its members who says: “Fruit makes a good-natured fath er, a happy mother, and a jolly lot of children, If you do not believe it, try it and be convinc ed.” Who Savs Farming Don’t Pay? A Texas man while plowing turned up bu ried gold to the amount of several thousand dollars, and a Massachusetts man recently found three $500 United States bonds on his farm. In spite of these facts, however, some people are foolish enough to say that farming doesn’t pay. ‘‘Put Me Down tor the Biggest Hog.’ “You will want to enter something for the county fair, I suppose, Mr. Hayseed?” said the chairman of the agricultural society. “Wall, yes," replied Mr. Hayseed; “you kin put me down for the‘biggest hog in the county.” Increasing Raspberry Patches. Red raspberries increase so rapidly by suckers that there is no difficulty in rapidly extending the plantation if they are promptly removed, as they should be. The Black Caps are only increased by layering of the tips, and it requires cultivation and some care towards the last of the season to start these tipB to growing. Some will naturally bend down and root of themselves, but the increase may be made much greater by bending the ends down to the ground and burying them. Ensilagpf. The great impulse giwn to diversified agri culture, as well as to other industries, has re sulted in developing.a profound interest in im proved a1ra larger herds of cattle and other farm live stock. This will naturally involve the necessity for largely increased supplies of grain and provender. And it will be matter for serious consideration to produce that which is best and most nut^ious at the lowest cost, and also how to protect it from waste and dam age until fed away. Much has been said and written about what is known as “ensilage,” both for and against, but leaving the mind of the reader somewhat in doubt and confusion. Consequently a let ter from a practical farmer of several continu ous years of successful experience, like that to the Raleigh, N. C., Progressive Farmer, pub lished below, is of more than usual value. W e publish it with much pleasure, and com mend it to the careful attenti m of our numer ous, widely scattered farmer readers and friends. J-ACTS AND FIGURES THAT SPEAK FOR THEM SELVES. Editor Progressive Farmer: As you asked me for some facts about ensilage, I will give you my experience to the best of my ability. I have now tried it for three years, and the more I use it the better I like it. hast year I put up over three hundred tons, and am sow ing for four hundred and fifty tons this year— mostly corn and some peas. My whole crop of corn averaged twelve and one-halt tons per acre, and peas about three and one-half. This year, if seasonable, I expect a larger yield per acre, as I am sowing on better soil. Pea vines make the best ensilage and the most milk, but as corn yields so much more per acre we plant mostly of it. In regard to what effect ensilage has upon the butter, I would say, it has had none with us for we have fed entirely upon it for the last three winters, and our customers eay they like our batter as well, if not better, than butter made by dry feed and by dairy men with much finer herds than we have; for we have but four thorough-bred Guernseys, balance graded Jer seys and natives. As to the cost of ensilage it can be made and put away (cut) in silo for less than $1.50 per ton, provided, it is raised conveniently to the silo and on ordinary soil. Below is the exact cost of 40 tons of pea vine ensilage put in a silo below ground (uncut) last September. Plowing seven acres, $1.75 per acre, $8.75. Fourteen barrels of black peas, at !K) cents per bushel, $12.60. Harrowing seven acres of peas broadcast. $1.60. The most experienced pork raisers claim that the Essex and Berkshire are the best breeds for the Southern climate. An Alabama lady says a pint of soft soap stirred into meal and made thin like batter with buttermilk, and given to swine, will cure hog cholera sure. A man can hack a living out of the land by doing just exactly as his grandfather did, but he will appear in business beside his reading and studious neighbor about as he would ap pear beside him socially if he wore his grand father’s old clothes. Seed is capital. The best seed, in the best soil, with the best manure, containing all and the best elements of plant life and growth, is the best investment that can be made with a view of obtaining the best crop from the land, and it matters not what that crop is to be. Don’t Over-feed. The overfeeding of any kind of breeding stock is calculated to impair fertility and that species of thriftiness which prompts to activity and the full working powers of all the vital organs. 43cm£ of €ljougl)t. New Variety of Asparagus. A new and extraordinarily fine variety of asparagus has just been discovered on the steppes of Akhal-Tekiz, recently annexed by Russia. Though growing perfectly wild, it at tains a size unknown in civilized countries. The stalks are said to be nearly as thick as a man’s arm, and they grow to a height of five or six feet. This asparagus is tender and deli cious in flavor. One stalk will supply ten Rus sian soldiers with all they can eat. Sagacity of the Horse. An old cavalryman says that a horse will never step on a man intentionally. It is a standing order with cavalry that should a man become dismoun ed he must lie down and be perfectly still. If he does so the entire com pany will pass over him and he not be injured. A horse notices where he is going, and is on the lookout for a firm foundation to put his foot on. It is an instinct with him, therefore, to step over a prostrate man. The injuries caused by a run-away horse are nearly always inflicted by the animal knocking people down, and not by his stepping on them. Strong Eggs. This is what a writer says in Gardening Il lustrated : I store my eggs in a frame with sliding shelves, small end of egg downward, in holes pierced to rective them. We are using eggs at the present time which were stored in September, and in a better slate of preserva tion than those saved by any other system that we have ever tried. Eggs stored in lime will rarely boil after being kept some time, but these will. I might have been led into quite a large correspondence if I would, but to this I object. Let me advise a trial on a small scale, if there still be doubts; and, above all, save your own eggs. Work the Home Market for All It is Worth. No use to grow perishable fruits and vege tables like peaches, onions, celery, more than the family can consume, unless you have ac cess to a near market. It hardly ever pays to ship peaches to the large cities from way in land, except, perhaps, from Southern sections in order to catch the early trade. Work the home market for all it is worth. Still it is al ways better to grow these articles in excess of the home needs than not grow enough. The surplus can always be put to some use.

Hauling 100 two-horse loads, mowing, fill- ing, covering and weighing silo, §27.25. Total cost of 40 tons pea vine ensilage, $51.- There were two cuttings of fine clover mowed from this same seven acres before the peas were sowed in July. P'arin hands, mules, etc , are ail charged in the above at the above rates paid, all extra labor hired. The peas were sowed July 8th, and mowed September 10th. I opened this silo May 1st, 1887, and found it just as good as any of my cut ensilage. There is no excuse for a man able to keep two or three cows not to have a silo on account of the cost of building, etc., for the last one I had dug for Dr. Lewis, all done by hired labor, cost, completed, including shelter and suffi cient lumber to extend the walls obove ground three feet, less than 75 cents per ton capacity. Even if it were possible to cure the amount of corn fodder that this one silo alone holds (225 tons), we would not have barn room enough on the farm to hold it. So much has already been said and proven in favor of ensilage that I am surprised at any man keeping a herd of cattle without a silo. If you think these few facts worth the space in your valuable paper you are welcome to use them. Yours truly, Jeff Davis, Manager for Dr. R. II. Lewis. The First Ripe Peaches. The Jacksonville, Fla., Times-Union, of the 16® instant, says: Colonel Togni owns a splendid farm and peach orchard on the Kimg’s road about four miles from the city, and on yesterday, while walking through the orchard, lie discovered, picked and ate several fine, ripe honey peaches. He says they are ripening rapidly, and soon the guests of Hotel Togni will enjoy the luxury of all the fine, fresh peaches and cream they can consume. If there : s anything nice to be had, Colonel Togni is bound to have it, and he is never satisfied un less sharing what he has with his guests. Louisiana Crop Notes. The Louisiana Farmer, published at New Iberia, has had a talk with a “long-time friend,” Mr. Charles Davidson, the energetic manager of field work on the Keystone plantar tion near St. Martinsville, from whom he ob tained the following very interesting items: His corn is laid by and cow peas planted; all fully two months ahead of the ordinary sea sons. His canes—stubble and plant—are unequaled in the vicinity; his labor being paid every week in cash, and treated like human beings —humanely—is of the very best, and without urg'Dg or pushing give willing, cheerful and full service. Rotary hoes, improved cultivators and other farming implements are used, so that his crop is cultivated at the minimum of cost, while the work is done in the very best manner. All plows used on this piace are Avery’s. Mr. Davidson, we are happy to say, says the Farmer, has fully demonstrated that with kindness united with firmness in handling la bor, the making of paying sugar crops in Lou isiana is an easily solved problem, especially when intelligence and the proper tools and ap paratus help to make, on their part, the most of it. Progressive Farming. The Marquis of Salisbury’s country seat, at Hatfield, England, continues to be a live exam ple of what can be done to aid the agriculturist in his work when a convenient source of pewer is at hand, such as is afforded by electricity. The threshing engine formerly employed has been replaced by an electric motor; and recent ly an electric elevator, employed in raising newly-cut hay or corn sheaves to the top of the stack, has been introduced with marked suc cess. Dispensing with the usual horse or steam engine labor required for the machine, the ele vator is supplied with an electric motor fixed upon its bed and driven by a current brought by wires from a central source. The wires are easily transportable, so that the elevator can be taken from stack to stack in a very short time. The greatest radius over which the elec tric elevator has been used at Hatfield is half a mile, being all that is there required. The principle is evidently applicable to a far greater range of distribution, and we shall see the time when our large Western farms will be all worked more or less with the aid of electric power. When a fall of water is available this is paiticularly easy of accomplishment; but even the installation of a steam power plant to drive the dynamos will, in many cases, be be low the initial cost of horses and their mainte nance, or that of a large number of individual portable steam engines such as are now largely in use.—Electric World. There are 60,000 women farmers in Ireland. A citizen of Royal Oak, Mich., recently slept for more than twenty days. A Newark (N. J.) young man recently ate thirty-six soft-boiled eggs at a single sitting. A bill has been passed by the Pennsylvania Senate providing that the punishment for mur der in the first degree may be death by the use of electricity. A farmer in Toms River, N. J., noticed a crow flapping around on the ground the other day, and upon investigation found that a com mon land turtle held the crow fast by one of its legs. A simple plan of stopping bleeding of the nose has lately been advised. Grasp firmly the nose with the finger and thumb for ten or fifteen minutes. By thus completely stopping the movement of air through the nose (which displaces freshly-formed clots) you will favor the clotting of the blood and will frequently stop hemorrhage. A Western famer dropped a pocket-book containing $200 in greenbacks while at work. It was picked up by a pig, which chewed it un til it began to taste badly, and then spit it out in pieces as he trudged along the pasture. All that could be found were sent to the Treasury Department at Washington, where enough re mains were discovered to entitle the farmer to $40. A prominent junk dealer recently received an order for ten thousand old tomato cans. The dealer explained that much of this kind of tin is used for comers and edge pieces on low grade of trunks, while many people use .. for flushings on roofs. The dealer is obliged to melt the solder off, straighten the cans out into flat sheets, pack the pieces in flat bundles for shipment, and only gets about $10 per ton for his trorfble. An old German of Salem, HI., well educated and perfectly san'e on all subjects but one, thinks that he is continually surrounded by witches, and wears a belt filled with chunks of lead to prevent them from flying away with him. He also weights his ankles to such an extent that it is difficult for him to walk. His house is crowded with bottled toads, lizards and other curious objects, which he keeps to protect him from witches. The diameter of locomotive driving wheels has been .greatly increased to produce aug mented speed. The largest yet noted are for a mammoth engine on one of the French roads. This locomotive has six coupled wheels eight feet three inches in diameter, and the tender and cars are to have wheels of the same di mensions, the calculation being that with such a train a speed of about seventy-eight miles an hour can be obtained. The cars will be swung inside and between several pairs of wheels. Scarfs and neck-ties of metal are a new Ger man invention. Gold, platinum and silver strips are welded, after the Mosaic style, upon a metal ground, prepared by the incandescent process, then compressed by means of power ful presses, and finally elongated by rolling in to long sheets or strips. The colors are yel low, red. green, white, gray and black; and the scarfs, being indestructible, are considered of practical value. They are manufactured chiefly at Baden and Pforzheim.

N. Y. Wi liam Gea of Edinburg first practiced the art of printing from sterotyped plates. Within the limits of the Roman Empire un der Augustus there were at least 100,000,000 of human beings. It is universally conceded that gunpowder was discovered by Roger Bacon, an English monk, in the thirteenth century. * In 1348 a fearful plague, called “the Black Death” swept over all Europe, killing more than one-half the inhabitants of England. Ralph Lane and companions, who went back to England from Virginia with Sir Francis Drake, carried with them the first tobacco seen in that country. John Milton (1608—74) was the greatest epic poet of modern times. His two greatest po ems, “Paradise Lost” and “Paradise Re gained,” were written in poverty and blind ness. When the President of the United States pro claimed war against Great Britain on July 19, 1812, the navy of the United States consisted of only twenty vessels, exclusive of gunboats. Myrtle Grove was a mansion near Youghall Ireland, near Cork. It derived its name from the luxuriant growth of the myrtles by which it was nearly covered. It is world renowned as having once been the home of Sir Walter Raleigh. A telegraph on an improved plan was in vented in 1799 by Jonathan Grant of Belcher- towa. The inventor set up one of his lines between Boston and Martha’s Vineyard, nine ty miles apart, at which he asked a question and received an answer in less than ten min utes. In 1750 the pious people of New England were much alarmed by several young Ameri cans getting up a theatrical representation of “Otway’s Orphan.” Some years later a com pany of actors from London played it in New York and Philadelphia. They were excluded from Massachusetts by law. The Hancock House was a famous old man sion which stood, until within a few years, in Boston. It was erected m 1737, and was the residence of Gov. John Hancock (1737-1793). The governors of Massachusetts with the coun cil were for a long period of years in the habit of diniDg in this mansion annually on Election Day. It was taken down in 1853. The national monument is an imposing me morial structure of granite, erected on Ceme tery Hill, Gettysburg, Pa., in honor of the Un ion soldiers who gave their lives for their country at this place ip the great battle of July 3, 1863. It stands in the centre of the enclosure which contains the bodies of some 3-500 soldiers representing eighteen Northern States. The monument bears upon its base the famous words of President Lincoln deliv ered at the consecration of the cemetery in November, 1863. “Behold also the Ships.” Brookltx, May 22.—As this is the time for the decoration of the graves of those who fell in the war, the naval posts invited the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., to preach a sermon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle appropriate to the occasion, as often in the annual commemora tion but little had been said of those who served in the navy. An American flag adorn- ed the pulpit, and the congregation sang with great spirit: My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty. Dr. Talmage’s text was from James iii., 4: “Behold also the ships.” He said: If this exclamation was appropriate about 1860 years ago, when it was written concerning the crude fishing smacks that sailed lake Gali lee, how much more appropriate in an age which has launched from the dry docks for purposes of peace—the Arizona of the Guion line, the City of Richmond of the Inman line the Egypt of the National line, the Germanic of the White Star line, the Circassia of the Anchor line, the Etruria of the Cunard line, and the Great Eastern, with hull six hundred and eighty feet long—not a failure, for it helped lay the Atlantic cable, and that was enough glory for one ship s existence—and in an age which for purposes of war has launched the screws-loops like the Idaho, the Shenando ah, the Ossippe, and our iron clads like the Kalamazeo, the Roanoke and the Dunderbere and those which have already been buried in ^® e P the Monitor, the Housatonic, the Weehawken and the Tecumseh, the tempests ever since sounding a volley over their watery sepulchres, and the scarred veterans of war shipping like the Constitution, or the Alliance or the Constellation that have swung into the naval yards to spend their last days, their decks now all silent of the feet that trod them their rigging all silent of, the hands that clung to them, their port holes silent of the brazen throats that once thundered out of them. If in the first century, when war vessels were de pendent on the oars that paddled at the side of them for propulsion, my text was suggestive, with how much more emphasis, and meaning and overwhelming reminiscense we can cry out, as we see the Kearsage lay across the bows of the Alabama and sink it, teaching for eign nations they had be ter keep their hands off our American fight, or as we see the ram Albemarle, of the Confederates, running out and in the Roanoke, and up and down the coast, throwing everything into confusion as no other craft ever did, pursued by the Miami, the Ceres, the Southfield, the Sassacus, the Mattabessett, the Whitehead, the Commodore Hull, the Louisiana, the Minnesota and other armed vessels all trying in vain to catch her until Captain Cushing, twenty-one years of age, and his men blew her up, himself and only one other escaping, and as I see the flagship Hartford, and the Richmond, and the Monon- gahela, with other gunboats, sweep past the batteries of Fort Hudson, and the Mississippi flows forever free to all northern and southern craft, I cry out with a patriotic emotion that cannot suppress if I would, and would not if could: “Behold also the ships.” At the annual decoration of graves, north and south, among federals and confederates, full justice has been done to the memory of those who fought or zhe land in our sad con test, but net enough; as been said of those whp on ship’s deck dareTand suffered all things. Lord God of tihe rivers and the sea, help me in this sermon! : So, yi admirals, commodores, commanjfcankCaptairs, pilots, gunners, boat swains, Affitaakers, surgeons, stokers, mess mates and/fopieiLof all names, to use your own parhuj(|ft. wefllieht as well get under way and stanl oBetawaMs sea. Let aU laud lub bers go asnOTe. * Full-speed now! Four bells! Never since the sea fight of Lepanto, where three hundred royal galleys manned by fifty thousand warriors, aj, sunrise, September 6, 1571, met two hundred and fifty royal galleys manned by one hundred and twenty thousand men, and in the four' hours of battle eight thousand fell on one side and twenty five thou sand on the other; yea, never since the day when at Actium 31 years before Christ, Au gustus, with two hundred and sixty ships, scattered the hundred and twenty ships of Afarlr Ant/unr anr? o*a:noH nninavani d— Mark Antony and gained universal dominion to the prize; yea, since the day when at Salamis the twelve hundred galleys of the Persians, manned by five hundred thousand men, were crushed by Greeks with less than a third of that force; ye a, never since the time of Noah the first ship captain, has the world seen such a miraculous creation as that of the American navy in 1861. There were about 200 availab'e seamen in all the naval stations and receivin'* ships, and here and there an old vessel. Yet orders were given to blockade thirty-five-hun dred miles of seacoas;—greater than the whole coast of Europe; and, besides that, the Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Mississippi and other great rivers, covering an extent of 2,000 more miles, were to be patiolled. No wonder the whole civilized world burst into guffaws of laughter at the seemii z impossibility. But the work was done, done .Imost immediately, done thoroughly, and done with a speed and’ con summate skill that eclipsed all the history of naval architecture. What brilliant achieve ments are suggested by the mere mention of the names of the rear admirals. If all they did should be written, every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. But these names have received the honors due. The most of them went to their graves under the cannonade of all the forts, navy yards and men of war, the flags of all the shipping and capitals at half mast. But I recite to-day the deeds of our naval heroes who have not yet received appropriate recognition. “Behold also the ships." As we wilt never know wha t our national prosperity is worth until we realize what it cost, I recall the unrecited fact that the men of the navy ran especial risks. They had not only the hu man weaponry to contend with, but the tides, the fog, the storm. Not like other ships could they run into harbor at the approach of an equinox, or a cyclone, or a hurricane, because the harbors were hostile. A miscalculation of tide might leave them on a bar, and a fog might overthrow all the plans of wisest com modore and admiral, and accident might leave them, not on the land ready for an ambulance, but at the bottom of the sea, as when the tor pedo blew up the Tecumseh, in Mobile bay, and nearly all on board perished. They were at the mercy of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which have no mercy. Such tempests as wreck ed the Spanish Armada might any day swoop upon the squadro^ No hiding behind the earthworks. No dQ|ing in of cavalry spurs at the sound of retreatB Mightier than all the fortresses on ail the-fioasts, is the ocean when it bombards a flotilla. In the cemeteries of federal and confederate dead are the bodies of most of those who' fell on the land. But where those are who went down in the war vessels will not be known until the sea gives up its dead. The jack tars knew that while loving arms might carry the men who fell on the land and bury them with solemn liturgy, and the honors of war, for eke bodies of those who dropped from the ratlines into the sea or went down with all on board under the stroke of a gunboat there remained the shark and the. whale and the endless tossing of the sea which cannot rest. How will you find their graves for this national decoration? Nothing but the archangel trumpet shall reach their lowly bed. A few of them have been gathered into naval cemeteries of the land and you will garland the sod that covers them, but who will put the flowers on the fallen crew of the exploded Westfield and Shawsheen, and the sunken Southfield, and the Winfield Scott. Bullets threatening in front, bombs threatening above, torpedoes threating from beneath and the ocean with its reputation of six thousand years for shipwreck lying all around, am I not right in saying it required a special courage for the navy? It looks picturesque and beautiful to see a war vessel going out through the Narrows’ sailors in new rig singing: “A life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep!” The colors gracefully dipping to passing ships, the decks immaculately clean and the guns at quarantine firing a passing salute. But the poetry is all gone out of that ship as it comes out of that engagement, its decks red with human blood, wheel house gone, the cab ins a pile of shattered mirrors and destroyed furniture, steering wheel broken, smoke stack crushed, a hundred pound Whitworth rifle shot having left its mark from port to star board, the shrouds rent away, ladders splin tered and decks ploughed up, and smoke- blackened and scalded corpses lying among those who are gasping their last gasp far away from home ana kindred, whom they love as much as we love wife and parents and chil dren. Not waiting until you are dead to put upon your graves a wreath of recognition, this hour we put on your living brow the garland of a nation’s praise. O, men of the Western Gulf squadron, of the Eastern Gulf squadron, of the South At lantic squadron, of the North Atlantic squad ron, of the Mississippi squadron, of the Pa cific squadron, of the West India squadron and of the Potomac flotilla, hear our thanks! Take the benediction of our churches. Accept the hospitalities of the nation. H we had our way we would get you not only a pension but a home and a princely wardrobe, and an equip age and a banquet, while you iive; and after your departure, a catafalque, and a mausole um of sculptured marble, with a model of the ship in which you won the day. It is consid ered a gallant thing, when in a naval fight the flagship, with its blue ensign, goes ahead up a river or into a bay, its admiral standing in the shrouds watching and giving orders. But I have to tell you, O veterans of the Amm-map navy! if you are as loyal to Christ as you were to the Government, there is a flagship sailing ahead of you of which Christ is the admiral” and He watches from the shrouds, and the heavens are the blue ensign, and He leads you towards tbe harbor, and all the broadsides of earth and hell cannot damage you, and ye, whose garments were once red with your own blood shall have a robe washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. Then strikes eight bells! High noon in heaven! With such anticipation, oh veterans of the American navy! I charge you bear up under the aches and weaknesses that you still carry from the war times. You are not as stalwart as you would have been but for the nervous strain and for that terrible exposure. Let every ache and pain, instead of depressing, re mind you of your fidelity. The sinking of the Weehawken off Morris island, December 6, 1863, was a mystery. She was not under fire! The sea was not rough. But Admiral Dahl gren, from the deck of the flag steamer Phila delphia, saw her gradually sinking, and finally she struck the ground, but the flag still floated above the waves in the sight of the shipping. It was afterwards found that she sank from weakness through injuries in previous service. Her plates had been knocked loose in previous times. So you have in nerve, and muscle, and bone, and dimmed eye-sight, and difficult hearing, and shortness of breath, many inti mations that you are gradually going down. It is the service of twenty-three years ago that is telling on you. Be of good cheer. We owe you just as much as though your life blood had gurgled through the scuppers of the ship in the Red River expedition, or as though you had gone down with the Melville off Hatteras. Only keep your flag flying as did the illustrious Weehawken. Good cheer, my boys! The memory of man is poor and all that talk about the country never forgetting those who fought for it, is an untruth. It does forget. Witness how the veterans sometimes had to turn the hand or gans on the street to get their families a living. Witness how ruthlessly some of them have been turned out of office that some bloat of a politician might take their place. Witness the fact that there is not a man or woman now under thirty years of age who has any full ap preciation of the four years’ martyrdom of 1861 to 1805 inclusive. But while men may forget, God never forgets. He remembers the swinging hammock. He remembers the fore castle. He remembers the frozen ropes of that January tempest. He remembers the am putation without sufficient ether. He remem bers the horrors of that deafening night when forts from both sides belched on you their fury, and the heavens glowed with the ascend ing and descending missiles of death, and your ship quaked under the recoil of the one hundred pounder, while all the gunners, ac cording to command, stood on tiptoe with mouth wide open lest the concussion shatter hearing or brain. He remembers it all belter than you remember it, and in some shape re ward will be given. God is the best of all pay masters, and for those who do their whole duty to Him and the world, the pension awarded is an everlasting heaven. Sometimes off the coast of England the royal family have inspected the British navy manoeu vred before them for that purpose. In the Baltic Sea the czar and czarina have reviewed the Russian navy. To bring before the Amer ican people the debt they owe to the navy I go out with you on the Atlantic Ocean where there is plenty of room, and in imagination re view the war shipping of our three great con flicts—17:6, 1812 and 1865. Swing into line all ye frigates, ironclads, fire rafts, gun-boats, and men-of-war. There they come, all sail set and all-furnaces in full blast, sheaves of crys tal tossing from their cutting prows. That is the Delaware an old revolutionary craft, com manded by Commodore Decatur. Yonder goes the Constitution, Commodore Hull command ing. There is the Chesapeake, commanded by Captain Lawrence, whose dying words were: “Don’t give up the ship,” and the Niagara, of 1812, commanded by Commodore Perry, who wrote on the back of an old letter, resting on his navy cap; “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Yonder is the flagship Wa bash, Admiral Dupont commanding, yonder, the flagship Minnesota, Admiral Goldsborough commanding; yonder, the flagship Philadel phia, Admiral Dahlgren commanding; yonder, the flagship San Jacinto, Admiral Bailey com manding; yonder, the flagship Black Hawk, Admiral Porter commanding; yonder, the flag steamer Benton, Admiral Foote commanding- yonder, the flagship Hartford, David Glascoe Farragut commanding. And now all the squadrons of all departments, from smallest tug boat to mightiest man-of war, are in pro cession, decks and rigging filled with the men who fought on the sea for the old flag ever since we were a nation. Grandest fleet the world ever saw. Sail on before all ages! Run up all the colors! Ring all the bells! Yes, open all the port holes! Unlimber the guns and load and fire one great broadside that shall shake the continents in honor of peace and the eternity of the American union! But I lift my hand, and the scene has vanished. Many of the ships have dropped under the crystal pave ment of the deep, sea-monsters swimming in and out of the forsaken cabin, and other old craft have swung into the navy yards and ma ny of the brave spirits who trod their decks are gone up to the Eternal fortress, from whose casements and embrasures may we not hope they look down to-day with joy upon a nation in re-united brotherhood. At this annual commemoration I bethink that most of you who were in the naval service during our late war are now in the afternoon or evening of life. With some of you it is two o’clock, three o’clock, four o’clock, six o’clock, and it will soon be sundown. If you were of age when the war broke out you are now at least forty-eight. Many of you have passed into the sixties and the seventies; therefore it is appropriate that I should hold two great lights for your illumination—the example of Christian admirals consecrated to Christ and their country, Admiral Foote and Admiral Farragut. Had the Christian religion been a cowardly thing they would have had noth ing to do with it. In its faith they lived and died. In our Brooklyn navy-yard Ad miral Foote held prayer meetings and con ducted a revival on the receiving ship North Carolina, and on Sabbaths, far out at sea, followed the chaplain with relig ious exhortation. In early life on board the sloop of war Natchez, impressed by the words of a Christian sailor, he gave his spare time for two weeks to the Bible, and at the end of that time declared openly: “Hence forth, under all circumstances, I will act for God.” His last words, while dying at the As- tor house, New York, were: “I thank God for all His goodness to me. He has been very good to me.” When he entered heaven he did not have to run a blockade, for it was amid the cheers of a great welcome. The other Christian admiral will be honored until the day when the fires from above shall lick up the waters from beneath and there shall be no more sea. and practiced all kinds of siD. One day he was called into tbe cabin of his father, who was a shipmaster. His father said: “David, what are you going to be anyhow?” He answer ed:,“I am going;to follow the sea.” “Follow the sea,” said the father, “and be kicked about the world and die in a foreign hospital?” “No,” said David, “I am going to command, like you.” “No,” said the father, “a boy of your habits will never command anything,” and his father burst into tears and left the cabin. From that day David Farragut started on a new life. Captain Pennington, an hon ored elder of this church, was with him in most of his battles and had his intimate friendship, and he confirms, what I had heard elsewhere, that Farragut was good and Chris tian. In every great crisis of life he asked and obtained the divine direction. When in Mobile bay the monitor Tecumseh sank from a torpedo and the great warship Brooklyn that was to lead the squadron turned back, he said he was at a loss to know whether to advance or retreat, and he says: “I prayed: ‘O God, who created man and gave him reason, direct me what to do. Shall I go on?” And a voice commanded me: “Go on,’ and I went on. Was there ever a more touching Christian letter than that which he wrote to his wife from his flagship Hartford? “My dearest wife, I write and leave this letter for you. I am going into Mobile bay in the morning, if God is my leader, and I hope He is, and in Him I place my trust. H He thinks it is the proper place for me to die I am ready to submit to His will in that as all other things. God bless and preserve you, my darling and my dear boy, if anything should happen to me. May his blessings rest upon you, and your dear mother, and all your sisters and their children.” Cheerful to the end, he said on board the Tallapoosa in the last voyage he ever took: “It would be well if I died now in harness.” The sublime Episcopal service for the dead was never more appropriately read than over his casket, and well did all the forts of New York harbor thunder as his body was brought to our wharf; and well did the minute guns sound and the bells toll as in a procession having in its ranks the president of the United States and his cabinet, and the mighty men of land and sea, the old admiral was carried amid hundreds of thousands of uncovered heads on Broadway, and laid on his pillow of dust in beautiful Woodlawn, September 30, amid the pomp of our autumnal forests. Ye veterans who sailed and fought under him, take your admiral’s God and Christ for your God and Christ. After a few more con flicts you too will rest. For the few remain ing fights with sin, and death, and hell make ready. Strip your vessel for the fray; hang the sheet chains over the side. Send down the top-gallant masts. Barricade the wheel. Rig in the flying jib-boom. Steer straight for the shining shore, and hear the shout of the great commander of earth and heaven as He cries from the shrouds: “To him that over- cometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God." $ailroa&0. /VV\/\A/V\/VV/\/\/V\,-\/VV' RAILROAD TIME TABLE Showing the arrival and departure of all trains from Atlanta.
