THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA. GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1887. <t3nn$ of Cljouglg. THE REASON WHY. O, happ* birds among the boughs, Aud silver, tinkling brook below! Why are you glad, Though skies look sad? “Ah. would y »u, wo ild you know?’’ A pleasant song to me replied; • For some one else we sing. And that Is why the woodlands wide With rapture ’rouud us ring!” O, daisies, crowding all the 11 “Id®, And twinkling grass, and buds that growl F. ich glance you greet With smiles so sweel! “And why-ali. would yoii know? Their beauty to my heart replied; * For some one else we live; And nothing In the world so wide Is sweeter than to give!” — From St. Xicholasfor June. The quail is the greatest enemy of the chinch bug. joe Elder, of Oconee county, Ga., has twelve .acres of line early wheat, from which he ex pects to get :M0 bushels. Dr. K. II. l’ate, of Dooly county, Ga., owns a native cow only two and a half years old, ami only one-fourth Jersey, that gives regu larly four gallons of milk per day. Rattle Snake-bite Cured. (\ 0. Dishong, of Hillsborough county, Florida, while out hunting recently, was b.tten bv a four-foot long ratilesnake. He cut the bitten part out w.th his pocket-knife and walked to his camp, a mile distant, and then applied a poultice of soda and ammonia and is now well and about. Growing; Wheat After Corn. By planting early of an early-ripening corn, the crop may be got oil in time to sow with wheat, thus getting land seeded again in the shortest time after the sod has been broken up, and providing a covering for it in the winter wheat the following winter. The corn field so managed should be near some grass land, to which the ripened corn may be drawn as soon as cut and left until dry enough to husk. This, though involving more labor, is a better i>1 an than the old time practice of plowing or cultivating between the rows of stalks, and leaving the latter to be seeded just at the beginning of winter. In these times this late-sown wheat will not amount to much; but by clearing off early, the wheat may be successfully grown after the corn. The Horse’s Cratltude. [California Spirit.] Few creature’s possess in a greater degree the virtues of gratitude and natural kindness than the horse. He is slow to forgive an in jury, but never forgets continued kindness. How often every thoughtful horseman has ob served touching evidences of the friendship of his horse. The gently caressing nose, the kincly eye, the neigh of welcome, and the out stretched neck, speak as eloquently as words of a noble, thinking nature. Vet this same animal can by ill usage be transformed into a vicious, dangerous brute. We have found as a rule that the man v. ho loves and cares for hi< horses, and is studiously interested con cerning their welfare, is a man full of the deepest alT-ction for his family and sympathy for his fellow beings. i A child brought up in the country with a j fondness for birds, c:i tie, dogs, horses, etc., generally be • • i es a kind-hearted man. He j dealings with men is "far more honest and j charitable than some of his professing Chris- i tian acquaintances. — The Quality of Ee;?s. There is great difference in the character of eggs from different hens, but it depends full as much on the feed as the breed. The dark- colored eggs laid by Asia'ie breeds of fowls | are most popular, and bring something more in market than the white-shelled eggs. These last are generally smaller, and they are pro duced by fowls which forage freely, while the 1 dark shelled eggs from Asiatic breeds are pro- I duced from grain feeding. During the Sum- j mer fowls that get no feed except what they | pick up eat much grass. This produces eggs | of poor quality. This indicates that fowls i should have some grain fed to them in the Summer. No product of the farm pays a better profit | than eggs, and from a commercial point this interest is much larger than many suppose. New York City handled 50 000,000 during this year, t he value of which amounted to •*? 10,000,- 000. In addition to the home product the States imported g nno ooo from Canada. It costs about fifteen cents per dozen to place them in New York from foreigi countries. As there is no duty on eggs, Canaia has a goed outlook in our markets for her surplus. How Fruit Farming Pays. We take unusual pleasure in transferring the following from the Jackson, West Tennessee, j Whig, and press it upon the attention of our many readers: By invitation of (’apt. W. D Deupree, the writer visited the fruit farms of Deupree Broth ers yesterday morning. (>ur attention was es pecially attracted by a fifteen-acre patch of cultivated blackberries of tin* Early Harvest variety. The bushes were literally covered with these berries, showing them to be won derfully prolific. A few of these berries have already been shipped, and brought good prices. The plants were set out about a year ago, and if the weather is favorable it is safe to esti mate the net yield at §1,000. Cultivating blackberries is of comparatively recent date, but that the crop pays handsomely is well settled. Deupree Bros, are pioneers in the fruit busi ness in Madison county, and their success shows the capabilities of our soil in that line. These gentlemen, who are among our most in telligent and popular citizens, have forty acres in strawberries, fifteen in raspberries, fifteen in blackberries, fifteen in peaches, five in pears, eight in apples, two in wild goose plums and a half acre in grapes. Their investment has paid finely, and we congratulate them upon their industry, perse verance and deserved success. A Portable Strawberry Patch. In North Carolina many counties have formed what are termed “Farmers’ Insti tutes,” which meet weekly or monthly. At one of these a Mr. Wilson mentioned a novel mode of cultivating strawberries, which seems to us to be entirely practicable—at any rate it costs little of time or trouble to try it, and it is worth trying. If successful every family, whether it own land or not—if only a tenant—can have plenty of this delicious and popular fruit at pleasure —and the interesting and valuable feature about it is, that one can move his strawberry patch the sa ae as he can his bureau or bed. In one of these meetings last month, Mr. Wil son s lid: “()ne could fill a barrel or a large hogshead with rich earth, and bore holes in the sides one-and a-half or two inches in diameter, with an auger, about fifteen inches apart, and plant the strawberry plants in these boles—and wa ter them from the top. They will grow and bear luxuriantly.” How easy this mskes it, even for the poorest, to have strawberries—early and plentiful —and if they move take their patch with them. A small place in the back yard is all that is needed. Should the barrel or hogshead be too heavy to move it can be emptied, refilled at the new home, and plants reset. Ceese for the Cotton Field. A gentleman of Lexington, Georgia, said the other day that he once knew of a gang of twen ty geese being turned in on a four-acre patch of cotton where the grass was higher than the cotton ami as thick as were it a hay field, and that in two hours there was not a blade of grass standing, yet the cotton was untouched. The Wav the Money Coes. The records of the Department of Agricul ture, of Georgia, show up to the present time that 1(115,000 tons of commercial fertilizers have been inspected and admitted to sale in the State, an increase over last year of over 5,000 tons and the largest, amount since the inaugu ration of the inspection laws, except the sea son of 1S84-5, when 170,000 tons were inspect ed. Worth Thinking About. It is reported that Jackson county, Georgia, has line prospects of a cotton and corn crop, and that the no-fence districts have the best crops. That county has adopted the fence law by districts. Mr. Lyle says that while out this week as soon as he got into a fence district the first thing he saw was a large lot of hogs in a field of wheat. A Crape Pest. A peculiar kind of insect is playing havoc with the grapes near Lexington, Georgia. The bundles seem literally alive with them. They are black and small as mites, and under the microscope have the form of lice. They seem to cling tenaciously to the young grape and feed on its vitality. These pests will ruin the grape crop unless some way is found to destroy them. A Scorching Blast. A storm passed over the plantation of a Mr. Weaver, in Randolph county, nine miles from Cuthbert, Georgia, last week, which scorched the cotton on an eighteen-acre field, burning the leaves to a crisp, except on a narrow strip next a piece of woodland, was scorched so that the leaves were as comp'etely crisped and dry as if a ball of lire had rolled over it.

The Phythagoreans make good to be certain and finite, and evil infinite and uncertain. There are a thousand ways to miss the white; there is only one to hit it.—Montaiyne. Cunning signifies especially a habit or gift of over-reaching, accompanied with enjoyment and a sense of superiority. It is associated with small and dull conceit, and with an abso lute want of sympathy or affection. It is the intensest rendering of vulgarity, absolute and utter.—Ruskin. Those who do it always would as soon think of being conceited of eating their dinner as of doing their duty. What honest boy would pride himself on not picking a pocket? A thief who was trying to reform would.—George MacDonald. Trees that, like the poplar, lift upwards all their boughs, give no shade and no shelter, whatever their height.

Nations are educated through suffering, mankind is purified through sorrow. The power of creating obstacles to progress is hu man and partial. Omnipotence is with the ages. —Mazzini. Policy goes beyond strength, and contrivance before action; hence it is that direction is left to the commander, execution to the soldier, who is not to ask Why? but to do what he is commanded.—Xenophon. A Mule With a Silver Windpipe. A mule with an artitichal throat is the latest thing in mules in Macon, Ga. A valuable an imal at Holman’s stables was afflicted with a disease similar to lanyngilis. W. C. Timber- lake proposed to doctor him and did so, and saved the mule’s life. Finding that it would soon be impossible for the animal to breathe through his windpipe, a portion of the pipe was removed and a silver tube was inserted, and now the mule breathes freely. It was a delicate and skillful operation. It now remains to be seen whether the mule can whinny his thanks to Mr. Timberlake for saving his life. Care of Young Chickens. All young chicks are tender, and especially liable to be chilled by running in wet grass. There is little difference in this respect, though some kinds get in full feather earlier than others, after which time they are less liable to be injur*u. There is, however, much differ ence in the liability of different breeds to be dragged around in the wet by their mothers. The kinds that are good foragers are for that very reason poor mothers. They are too en terprising, getting up and running around early in the morning for food, while the heav ier Asiastic breeds will sit an-l brood their young until the dew has dried off. The ten- derm kk of young turkey oliuOy* i« mainly duo to the propensity of the turkey hen to forage early in the morning. They need to be kept shut up until nine or ten o’clock, and be fe.1 once or twice before being let out. When tur keys become as large as quails, the}’ can run anywhere, and with their own mother will thrive better than with a common hen, as she will travel farther. Making a Home Manet. It is the misfortune of farmers that they do eveything in such a wholesale way that they cannot get time to market their products in the best manner. Thus the prevalent complaint that middlemen fix the price and take so large a share of the profit. With grain growers this is inevitable. It is rarely, if ever, that the wheat grower can supply the man who eats the wheat. It has to go to the miller, paying the profit not only on grinding and making into Hour, but an additional charge for hand ling the wheat. And in cities a large propor tion of families let the baker take another profit, larger than all others, for his share of the work. Many have learned the economy in baking their own bread who do not know that there is almost an equal advantage in buying wheat and getting it floured. In wheat-growing districts it is quite common for forehanded city or village residents to get some farmer to take to mill for them enough wheat for a year’s supply of Hour. Both the farmer and the city consumer are benefitted by this direct dealing with each other, getting Hour at nearly the cost price, and the farmer receiving for his wheat considerable more than he could by selling it to shippers. Good Hour kept in a dry place improves with age, which is another advantage of getting an entire year’s supply at once. Crowth of the Churches. The progress of Christianity in this country is more marked than is generally supposed. In the last four years the gain in churches was \o,at the rate of ”,. Si -'Il a year, or 10 l-2 a day, and represents in the aggregate a largo appropriati m of money and effort. So, also, does the remarkable increase of ministers, HjHHl. The increase in membership has been somethig like 408,000 a year, which is at the rate of l, 117 every day, or 40 every hour. The growth of Methodism is particulary enormous. A hundred years ago it had all told about 1-5,00) members; now it numbeis 4,502,Hot*, with 17, 002 churches and 20,400 ministers. The total numbers of communicants of all denominations in the United States is now 1H.018/J77. Results of Half A Century Queen Victoria has been on the English throne fifty years, hence the jubilee now in progress throughout the royal dominion. It would, indeed, be a year of jubilee, as the New York Herald has suggested, were Her Majesty to convey to Parliament a wish that the experi ment of home rule in Ireland should be tried. When Victoria ascended the throne the area governed in India was 000,000 square miles; 1,380,000 now comprise that area. The popu lation of European stock has increased from .500,000 to 500,000; the native population has increased from 00,000,000 to 251,000.000, and the revenues from 10,000,000 to 71.000,000 pounds sterling. Her Majesty’s colonies and dependencies have grown: In area governed, from 520,000 to 7,000.000; population of Euro pean stock from 1,800,000 to 0,500 000; colored population, 2 100,000 to 8,000,000; State re. venues, 5,000,000 to 51,000,000 pounds sterling- After the election of Mr. Wilberforce for Hull, his sister promised the compliment of a new dress for the wife of every freeman who nad voted for her brother. At this she was saluted with the cry: “Miss Wilberforce forever!” But she smilingly observed: “Thank you, gentlemen; but I really cannot agree with you. I do not wish to be Miss Wilberforce forever.” There is said to be a sort of sympathy be tween extremes. To illustrate—many a home ly man’s head has been turned by a pretty wo man’s foot. A. CARD.

I’aper from seaweed is a growing industry in France. It is so transparent that it has been used in the place of glass for windows, j Making paper from seaweed is said to be a flourishing art in Japan. It is stated that French surgeons have suc ceeded in replacing glass eyes with the front part of rabbits’ eyes. The coat is stitched fast to the ball of a sightless human eye, and made to adhere, so that it causes no further trouble and looks as well as the natural eye. I’, is, of course, sightless, but is far less bother than a glass one.

The population of London now excaeds every other city, ancient or modern, in the world. New York and all its adjacent cities combined are not equal to two-thirds of it. Scotland, Switzerland and the Australian colonies each contain fewer souls, while Norway, Servia, Greece and Denmark have scarcely half so many. Yet in the beginning of the present century the population of all London did not reach 1,000,0(H). Jumbo, alive, weighed seven tons; stuffed, he weighs three tons. His height is twelve feet; length, fourteen feet; girth measurement, eighteen feet. The skin is nailed to a wooden form, over which it is stretched. Seventy-four thousand four hundred and eighty nails were used in nailing it, and not one of them shows. A stri g that will pass around two ordinary men under the arms, they standing back to back, will just pass around the leg of Jumbo. A letter from Japan says: A few miles from Otsu is Karasate, a little point of land running into the lake, where a Shinto tempi a stood for centuries. The shrine is covered by the arms of a pine tree, whose trunk is more than four feet in circumference, and the branches, train ed out on supports, cover over an acre of ground. ( ff all the wonders of this part of the world, this pine tree of Karasate deserves a first mention; and one wanders amazed under the great canopy of long, drawn out, interlacing branches and studies the intricate way in which the limbs of the sturdy old pine have been twisted, looped, tied and braided, as if they had been so many sticks of candy. The ends of the branches reach out over the water on either side, and a heavy stone wall on the lake front protects the venerable tree from ever being washed away by storms or Hoods. historical.

The English Government was s> poor, in a momentary sense, during the reign of Charles II., that the pensioning of English public meu was done by Louis XIV. of France. There were twenty-five Scotch kings from Malcoin in 1004 to James VX (afterwards James 1. of England) in 10li7. Duncan reigned from 1004 to 1040, aud Macbeth from 1040 to 1050. To protect English authors the ac*. of Anne permitted them to assign leases of only four teen years, when their property, for their fu ture provision, reverted to them. The law was changed in 1814, extending the term to twenty-eight years. • The famous floating batteries with which Gibralter was attacked in 1782 were the scheme of D’Arcon, a French engineer. There were ten of them, and they resisted the heaviest shells and 2'2-pound shot, but ultimately yielded to red-hot shot. In 1770 cotton spinning was performed by the hand-spinning wheel, when Hargrave, an ingenious mechanic near blackburn, England, made a spinning jenny, with eight spindles; and having permitted o re Peel, of that place, to view it as a cariosity, under the pledge of secrecy, the latter appropriated the invention, and Hargrave died in poverty. Q^PllLPIT TALMAGE'S SERMON. breached in the Brookyn Taber nacle. The Tempest. Brooklyn, June 5.—The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, I). I)., preached in the tabernacle this morning, a sermon entitled: “The Tem pest.” Service began with the exposition of appropriate passages of scripture, after which the great congregation sang the hymn: “Heaven is my fatherland, Heaven is my home.” The text was Mark 4: 30-39, describing Christ stilling the tempest. He said: Tiberias, Galilee, Gennesaret—three names for the same lake. No other gem ever had so beautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills, high ter raced, sloped, groved, so many hanging gardens of beauty, the waters rumbling down between rocks of gray and red limestone, fishing from tlie hills and bounding into the sea. On the shore were castles, armed towers, Roman baths everything attractive and beautiful; all styles of vegetation in shorter space than in almost any other space in all the world, from the palm tr^e of the forest to the trees of rigorous climate. It seemed as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene, and it hung and swung from rock and hill and orleander. Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sailing the lake, and countrymen in fish smacks, coming down to drop their nets, pass each other with nod and shout and laughter, or swinging idly at their moorings. < >, what a wonderful, what a beautiful lake' It seems as if we shall have a quiet night. Not a leaf winked in the air; not a rippla dis turbed the face of Gennesaret; but there seems to be a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is, and we find it an em barkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out; not a squadron or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could seize; but a flotilla bearing messengers of life, and light and peace. Christ is in the front of the boat. His disciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus, weary with much speaking to large mul titudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there was any motion at all the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from starboard to larboard, or from larboard to starboard, the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman’s coat. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate, and His head touched the pillow, than lie is sound asleep. The breezes of the lake rm their lingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. Calm night, starry night, beautiful night. Run up all the tails, ply all the oars, and let the large boat and the small boat glide over gentle Genesaret. But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the passengers can lit ar the moaning of the storm as it comes on with great stride, and all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles lik*■ a deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds; great patches of foam are Hung into the air; the sails of the vessel loosen, and the sharp winds crack like pistols; the smaller boats like petrels poise on the cliff of the waves and aV*n plunge. • •. rb<.. tacxiiug and irmSts, an the drenched disciples rush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ, and say unto Him: “Master, carest Thou not that we perish?” That great personage lifts 11 is head from the pillow of the fisherman’s coat, walks to the front ol the vessel, aud looks out into storm. All around him are the smaller b)ats, driven in the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowing men. By ihe Hash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. He has one word for the sky and another for the waves. Looking upward he cries: “Peace!” Look ing downward He says: “Be still.” The waves fall Hat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ stands with his feet on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are bailing out the boats, and while they are trying to untangle the cord age. the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the calm Savior’s countenance, and they cry out: “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” The subject in the first place impresses me with the fait that it is very important to have Christ with the ship; for all those boats would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for you and for me to learn! We must always have Christ in the ship. Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us always have Christ in the ship. Many of you, in these days of revived commerce, are starting out in new financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer. Do all you can do. Do it on as high a plane as possible. You have no right to be a stoker in the ship if you can be an ad miral of the navy. You have no right to be a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade; you have no right to be engineer of a boat on river banks, or near the coast, if you can take the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do with the utmost tension of body, mind, and soul, you are bound to do; but, oh! have Christ in every enterprise, Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship. There are men here who ask God to help them at the start of great enterprises. lie lias been with them in the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mount Ilermon, and lash Gen nesaret into foam aud into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out i: worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainty of this life, lie has no God to help him. After awhile the storm comes and tosses off the masts of the ship; he puts out his life boat, and the long boat: the sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off; they can’t help him off; he must go down; no Christ in the ship. Here are young men just starting out in life. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadow. There may be in it arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is be fore you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be well. You may seem to get along without the reli gion of Christ while everything got s sm jothly, but after awhile, when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over the hurricane deck, and the decks are crowded with piratical disasters—oh, what would you do then without Christ in the ship? Young man, take God for your portion, God for your guide, God for your help; then all is well; all is well for time, all shall be well forever. Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord his trust. lie shall never be confounded. But my subject always impresses me with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sailing. These disciples got into the small boats, and I have no doubt they said: “What a beautiful day this is! What a smooth sea! What a bright sky this is! How delightful is sailing in this boat! And as for the waves under the keel of the boat, why, they only make the motion of our little boat t^e more delightful.” But when the winds swept down, and the sea was tossing into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it, so I have found it. Did yon ever no tice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would say if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth departure, then these men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St. James lost his held. St. Phillip was hung to death on a pillar. St. Matthew had hia life dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St. James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller’s club. St Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not find following Christ smooth sailing. 0!i, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John IIuss in the fire; Hugh McKail in the hour of martydom; the Albigenses, the Waldenses, the Scotch Coven anters—did they find it smooth sailing? But why go to history when I can come into this audier.ee to-day and find a score of illus trations of the truth of this subject. That young man in the store trying to serve God, while his employer scoffs at Christianity, the young men in the same store antagonistic to the Christian religion, teasing him, torment ing him about his religion trying to get him mad. They succeed in getting him mad, saying: “You’re a pretty Christian.” Does this young man find it smooth sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Here is a Christian girl. I ler father despises the Christian religion; her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian religion; she can hardly find a quiet place in which to say her prayers. Did she find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow Jesus Christ? Oh, no! all who would live the life of Christian religion must suffer persecution; if you do not find it in one way, you will get it in another way. The question was asked: “Who are those nearest the throne?” and the answer came back: “These are they who came up out of great tribulation; great Hailing, as the original has it: great Hailing, great pounding—“and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” Oh, do not be disheart ened! Oh, child of God! take courage. You are in glorious companionship. God will see you through all these trials, and He will de liver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get very much frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into the back part of the boat, I find they are frightened almost to death. They say. “Mas ter, carest thou not that we perish?” They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat. I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much affrightened. Perhaps more. In all ages very good people get very much affrightened. It is often so in our day, and men say: “Why, look at the bad lecturers; look at the spiritualistic societies; at the va rious errors going over the church of God; we are going to founder; the church is going to perish; she is going down.” Oh, how many good people are affrightened by inquiry in our day, and think the church of Jesus Christ is going to be overthrown, and are just as much affrightened as were the disciples of my text. Don’t worry, don’t fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down with his shaggy mane covering the paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web .across the mouth of the cavern, and say: “We have captured him.” Gossamer thread after gossa mer thread is spun until the whole front of the cavern is covered with the spider’s web, and the spiders say: “The lion is done; the lion is fast.” After awhile the lion has got through sleeping; lie rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he walks out into the sunlight; he does not even know the spiders’ web is spun, and with his voice he shakes the mountain. So men come spinning their sophistries and skepticisms about Jesus Christ: He seems to be sleeping. They say: “We have captured the Lord. Ho will never come forth again upon the nation. Christ is captured forever. 11 in religion will never make any conquest among men.” But after a while the Lion of the tribe of Judah will rouse Himself and come forth to shako mightily the nations. What’s a spider’s web to the aroused Lion? (Jive truth and error a fair gripple, and truth will come off victor. But there are a great many good people who get affrightened in other respects; they are af- 1 Tightened in our day about revivals. They say : “(Hi! this is a strong religious gale; we are afraid the church of God is going to be up set, and there are going to be a great many people brought into the church that are going to be of no use to it,” and they are affrightened whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain, with live thousand bushels of wheat for a cargo, should say some day, coming upon deck: “Throw overboard all cargo;” and the sailors should say: “Why, captain, what do you mean? Thro w over all the cargo?” “Oh,” says the captain, “we have a peck of chaff that has got into this live thousand bushels of wheat, and the only way to get rid <>f the chaff is to throw all the wheat overboard.” Now, that is a great deal worse than the talk of a great many Christians who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of itvivao. Tiiruw overboard b'cause they are brought into the kingdom of God through the great revivals, because there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of chaff ! 1 say let them stay until the last da} ; the Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. Do not be afraid of a great revival. Oh! that these gales from Heaven might sweep through all our churchesl Oh! for such days as Richard Baxter saw in England and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee! Oh! fir fetich days as Jonathan Edwards saw in North ampton! I have often heard my father tell of the fact that in the early part of this century a revival broke out at Somerville, N. J., and some people were very much agitated about it. They said: ‘Oh! you are going to bring too many people into church at once?” And they seut down to New Brunswick to get John Liv ingston to stop the revival. Well, there was no better soul in all the world than John Livingston. lie went and looked at the revival. They wanted him to stop it. He stood in the pulpit on the Sabbath and looked over the solemn auditory, and he said: “This, brethren, is in reality the work of God; beware how you try to stop it.” And he was an old man leaning heavily on his staff, a very old man. And he lifted that staff and took hold of the small end of the staff and be gan to let it fall very slowly through between the finger and the thumb, and he said: “Oh! thou impenitent, thou art falling now—falling away'from life, falling away from peace and Heaven, falling as certainly as that cane is tail ing through my hand—falling certainly, though perhaps falling slowly.” And the cane kept on falling through John Livingston’s hand. The religious emotion in the audience was over powering; and men saw a type of their doom as the cane kept falling until the knob of the cane struck Mr. Livingston’s hand, and he clasped it stoutly and said: “Bir, the grace of God can stop you, as I stopped that cane;” and then there was gladness all through the house at the fact of the pardon and peace and salva tion. “Well,” said the people after the ser vice, “I guess you had better send Livingston home; he is making the revival worse.” Oh! for the gales from Heaven, and Christ on board the ship! The danger of the church of God is not in revivals. Again, my subject impresses me with the fact that Jesus was God and man in the same being. Here He is in the back part of the boat. Ob! how tired He looks! What sad dreams he must have! Look at His countenance. lie must be thinking of the cross to come. Look at Him, He is a man—bone of our boue, flesh of our flesh Tired, He falls asleeep; He is a man. But then I find Christ at the prow of the boat. I hear him say : “Peace, be still;” and I see the storm kneeling at His feet and the tempests folding their wings in His pres ence. He is a God. If I have sorrowand trouble and want sym pathy, I go and kneel down at the back part of the boat, and say: “(), Christ! weary one of Gennesaret, sympathize with all my sorrows, man of Nazareth, man of the cross.” A man, a man. But if I want to coLquer my spiritual foes, if I want to get the victory over sin, death and hell, 1 come to the front of the boat, and I kneel down, and I say: “Oh, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief; hush ail my temptation, hush all my sin.” A man, a man; a God, a God. I learn once more from this subject that Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem as if everything must go to ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of manag ing the ship; the crew were entirely demoral ized; yet Christ rises, and He puts His foot on the storm, and it crouches at Iiis feet. Oh, yes! Christ can hush the tempest. You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken away from you—the sweetest child of a household, the one who asked the most curipus questions, and stood around you with the greatest fondness, and the spade cut down through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart has ever since been like £a desolated castle, the owls of the night hooting among the falling arches and the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an aged mother. You always went to her with your troubles. She was in your home to welcome your children into life, and when they died she was there to pity you; that old hand will do you no more kindness; that white lock of hair you put away in the casket, or in the locket, didn’t look as it usual ly did when she brushed it away from her wrinkled brow in the home circle or in the country church. Or your property gone, you said: “I have so much bank stock, I have so many government securities, I have so many houses, I have so many farms”—all gone, all gone. Why, sir, all the storms that ever trampled their thunders all the shipwrecks have not been worse than this to you. Yet you have not been completely overthrown. Why? Christ hushed the tempest. Your little one was taken away. Christ says: “I have that little one in my keeping. I can care for him as well as you can, better than you can O, bereaved mother!” Hushing the tempest. When your property went away God said: “There are treasures in heaven, in banks that never break.” Jesus hushing the tempest. There is one storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this life, and try to take hold of the next, we will want all the grace possible. Yonder I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death; all the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul—the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the shriek of the wind, all seem to unite together; but that soul is not troubled; there is no sighing; there are no tears; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears, calm, satisfied, peaceful; all is well. “By the Hash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall be well. Jesus bushing the tempest. “Into the harbor of Heaven now we glide; We’re h3me at last, borne at ast, Softly we drift on its bright sllv’ry tide,! We’re home at last. (Lory to God! all our dangers are o’er, We stand secure on Ue glorified shore; Glory to God! we will shout evermore, We’re home at last. r»f uli trains fro: JiailroaDS RAILROAD TIME TABLE Showing the arrival and depart Atlanta.

One of the reasons for the great popularity of tho Mustang Liniment la found in Its uuivernnl applicability. Everybody needs such a medicine. The Lumberman needs It lu cose of accident. The Housewife needs it for general family use. The ('aualer needs It for his teams and his men. The IHechunic needs It always ou his work bench. The Miner needs It In case of emergency. The Pioneer needs it—can’t get along without It. Tlie Farmer needs it in his house, his stable, and his stock yard. The Steuiubont man or the lton*ninu needs It In liberal supply afloat and ashore. The Ilorae-fnncicr needs It—it Is his best friend and safest reliance. The ^tock-urowcr needs It—It will save him thousands of dollars and a world of trouble. The Railroad man needs It and will need it so long as his life Is a round of accidents and dangers. The Ifnckwoodainan needs it. There is noth* lng like It as an antidote for the dangers to lifo^ limb and comfort which surround the pioneer. The Merchant needs It about his store among his employees. Accidents will happen, and when these come the Mustang Liniment is wanted at once. Keep a Bottle in the Ilouae. ’Tis the best of economy. Keep a Bottle in the Factory. Its Immediate use in case of accident saves pain and loss of wages.
