TUE GOD-MAN JESUS—GOD IN
CHRIST.
God had manifested himself in various
'ways before the incarnation, In the crea
tion of angela the world, man through bis
revelali*n in and by patriarchs and proph
ets and lawgivers, by signs and wonders
in heaven and earth. In thousands at
Sinai, in the cloud by day and fire by
night; in the Hebrew nation as the visible
Church and a nation with divinely-given
laws. -
Man had manifested himself before in
divers ways, through his "virtues and
vices, in bis inventions and discoveries, in
his science, his art, hm letters; bis warns,
his temples, his work on earth, his success
and failures, hiB tears and smiles, joy and
sorrows, in one word, in his history.
But God manifested himself in a new
way, and man manifested himself in a new
way, in Christ Jesus.
A new revelation in God and man met
in Christ. Not only did God manifest Lis
wisdom and power, and love in a new
manner as God and man manifested a Dew
phase and ideal of man as man; but God
and man manifested themselves as a new
union of the divine and human, in one per
sonality,calling itself, now God, now
man, yet one person, saying 1, not we.
Well might angels and man gaze upon
this great mystery and wonder.
What a standpoint, wbat a sublime po
sition our Lord Jesus assumed when he
claimed that the whole bistory of the Jew
ish r*ee preceding him, had its explana
tion ir. him alone. He put himself for
ward as the legitimate end of the Jewish
Church and State, taught that all its lines,
prophecies, sacrifices, types, symbols, or
dinances converged on him; that the
mighty drama bad been unfolding itself
through the centuries had its denouement
iu him. That he wound up and close for
ever a whole past and became a new start
ing point for humanity. There is nothing
like this in the annals of the race.
The life of God in the soul of a Christian
as a mystery, has its origin in a still great
er mystery, the life of God in Christ, the
God-man. God, as be is; man as he is—
bow to bring them together—this is the
problem of the ages. The cross of Christ,
this is the solution.
This is the only sport in all the world,
where a sinner cud see God and not die,
where God can meet the sinner and take
him to his heart. ife-ia
k —!
Christianity stands alone in the world,
... seperated from all other religions, not in
degree, not by a question of more or less,
on the same plain, or in the same direc
tion, but seperate in kind; a new order of
being, a new creation in the earth, a new
existence traveling a new path, a new star
in a new orbit. A new force working in
new ways and to new ends, and blessed
new results.
Christianity differs from all other reli
gious iD the fact that it demands an obe
dience and makes claims on the soul
which no other ever dreamed of. It de
mands perfect and complete obedience to
a law whose sweep, length and breadth,
no other religion ever conceived possible;
a law which Dot only requires complete
rectitude in all outward moral obliga
tions to one’s neighbor, and complete
reclimde to all outward duties toward
God, but absolute religiousness of heart
toward God arid toward man, viz; “Love
the Lord tby God with all thy heart,”
&c.
Then it differs from other religions in
providing a righteousness for man which
meets all this claim and making it over
to him. It first demands the impossibility
front man, then provides it for man.—Ex

We plant the shade from the hot sun free;
We plant all these when we plant the

ON THE OARS.
Out from the doors of a great city church
streamed hundreds of bright-faced boys
and girls. The streets sparkled, the sta
tions swarmed with them. From every
jacket and dress waist fluttered a bright
ribbon, bearing some magic initials' which
stamped the wearer as a young conven-
tioner. Three girls, pretty and well-
dressed, entered a short train which
passed through a backwoods district
Every seat had at least one occupant,
most of them men, so a lady hastily
emptied of its parcels the seat beside her.
But ihe girls were already cared for.
Two "drummers” had risen, a seat was
turned, and the girls had bowed their
thanks.
They made a pretty picture in the dusty
car and seemed to create a new atmos
phere. Men straightened themselves in
their seats, womeD looked less weary, even
ibe children ceased their worrying to
fasten their eyes upon the interesting trio.
The gills held the situation in their well
gloved hands.
Presently one of them began to hum a
hymn, in which the others joined; and
very soon their new song-books were
opened. Gradually the tones grew louder
and words were added; the alto came out
strong on the accidentals, the tenor struck
falsetto, ihe soprano opened her month
wider and wider.
The lady behind looked first surprised,
then pained. Men dropped their new&i
papers and turned to stare, or winked at
one another. The brakeman brushed
rudely against the shoulder of the eldest.
A sleeping baby awoke and cried.
It was all such a mitsake. The girls
meant nothing wrong. They merely
forgot that they were not in that great
chorus of eight hundred voices, anion;
persons of their own age, and all bourn
together by one tie.
They would have been shocked had
they known bow they had fallen in the es
timation of even the most rustic of
those passengers. They had voluntarily
deseuded from the high pedestal
which they had been placed.
“Remember that the credit of the col
lege rests with you,” was always the
parting injuction of one of America’s
educators, as her girls started homeward
at vacation time. “I like to think that
our sctiool is never advertised on (be cars.
That would be more objectionable in my
eyes than Silas Lapham’a Mineral Paint
signs decorating the landscape.”
The comparison is suggestive.
Have you not heard girls in the cars tell
more than you cared to bear of the history
of their relatives and friends ?
Have you not heard their laughter
above the puffing of the locomotive?
Nice girls, too. Girls, who, like the
singing trio, simply forgot that they are on
the public highway, and do not think how
their high spirits and bubbling vitality
will appear to those around them.
In our country, girls and women often
travel alone, and they have only themselves
to thank if they are subjected to annoy,
ance from fellow-travellers. If they meet
with disrespect it is only because they
harbor it in themselves.
Meeting of Policy Holder* in Charleston.
They Want the Charge* Against the
Offloer* and Manager* ot the New
York Life Insdraneo Company Impar
tially Sifted.
Charleston, Sept. 19.—At a meeting
of the policy holders of the New York

MURDERED BY HIGHWAYMEN.
About the I tats Case.
Washington, Sept. 19.—The opinion
is gaining ground here that the post
poned liliel smt against the Chilian
steamer Itata now set for trial at San
Diego, Cal., on the 25th, will be prose
cuted by tlie government, although a
further jiostponemeut may he had be
fore the case proceeds. It was impos
sible to gain any official information
upon this point, thongh Attorney Gen
eral Miller did say that he coaid not
tell what the resnlt of the postponement
would be, but so far as he knew it
might result in a trial.
A Dispatch to Kentucky.
Washington, Sept. 19.—Your corre
spondent does not in the least want to
be sensational, nor does he want to
startle the Republicans of Kentucky,
but he was told by a prominent Repub
lican that the president was seriously
considering the appoh.'.uent of oar
"good and trooly loyal” and genial
friend. General William O. Bradley of
Keutucky, as the successor of Mr. Proc
tor, in the war department.
He Ha* Fled.
Lynn, Mass., Sept. 19.—N. Wright,
one of Lynn’s most prominent citizens,
has fled the city. He has taken with
him considerable money belonging to
his friends. Some of the funds of the
United Endowment order are also miss
ing. Wright was highly respected, and
bis social relations were of the beet.
Going Hack on McKinley.
Steubenville, O., Sept. 18.—Demo
cratic leaders were jubilant here when
it was reported that John Galbraith
a wealthy Republican wool-grower of
Smithfield township, and J. W. Swind
ler, a memlier of the Republican county
committee of Irondale, had expressed
themselves as dissatisfied with MoKin-
leyism, and would this fall vote the
Democratic ticket clear and clean. It
is also said that T. M. Reed of Bloom
field, and J. W. Barnes of Anapolis
precinct, both life long and prominent
Republicans, will vote for and work
in the interest of the People’s party.
Democrats have word from a number
of less prominent Republicans in this
county, who will either vote the Demo
cratic or People’s ticket in the coining
election.
The Habeas Corpus Revised.
A peculiar scene was enacted in the
court bouse recently, when, under
writ of habeas corpus, a child was pro
duced by its grandmother, and the court
decided that the father was entitled to
his offspring. When the grandmother
heard the decision she hastily palled off
the dress the child wore and said, “You
can have the child, but you can’t have
her clothes." A lawyer who was listen
ing said that the proper legal phrase
wonld have been, “Habeas corpus, non
habeas vestimenta.”—Brooklyn Life.
Flying Marti I nr*.
Professor Le Conte, in an article on
flying machines, made use of the follow^
tog argument: “There is a limit of
weight, probably fifty pounds, beyond
which a bird cannot fly Obviously,,
self raising, self supporting and ae^pro-
pelling flying machine to carry a man is
impossible.” And yet, pterodactyls or
flying lizards of tench greater weight
than fifty pounds existed to early geo
logic times, and they were self raising,
self supporting and self propelling.—

The Superintendent of a Mine In Shut
by Unknown Persons.
Nevada, Lai., Sept. 19.—S. Gallvotti,
superintendent of the Derbec Drift mine,
was murdered by highwaymen while
coming to this city with $5,000 in gold
bars just cleaned up at the mine. Gall
votti and J. D. Ostrom were in a two-
horse buggy, ascending the South Yuba
river grade, six miles from the city,
when a rifle shot was fired from the
bank above. The ball entered the back
of Gallvotti’s head, causing instant
death, Ostrom struck the horses with
a whip, urging them into a run up the
steep grade just as a second shot was
fired. The bullet entered the neck of
one of the horses, hut a turn in the
road soon took the team out of the
range of the shooters. Ostrom con
tinued to force the team up the grade,
holding his companion’s dead body in
the vehicle with one arm aud being
soaked from head to foot with his com
panion’s blood. Reaching the Mount
Vernon hill Ostrom hid the bullion in
the brush, and then rode to this city to
notify the officers. A wagon has come
out after the dead superintendent’s
body, and several squads of armed men
have started for the scene of the mur
der.
Believed of the Charge of Murder,
Columbus, Ind., Sept. 19.—The aged
German, John Adams, who so mys
teriously disappeared from the residence
of Robert Spaugh, near Hope, some
years ago, since which time no trace of
him could be found, and who was sup
posed to have been murdered at the
time by William Bullard, the Ho
desperado and fire-bug, and his bo< _
cremated in Spangh’s barn, which was
burned on the night he disappeared,
arrived here from Nashville, Tenn,
where he has since resided. He came
all the way here to relieve Bullard of
the cnarge of having murdered him
as given out to the special dispatches
from which source he gained his in
formation.
An Old Story Revived.
San Antonio, Sept. 19.—J. A. Rob
ertson, the well known railway con
tractor, formerly of Chicago, but now
general manager of the Monterey and
Mexican Gulf railway, has received
letter from Juan Hermandez, a prisoner
at Havana, saying that he has buried
near Monterey, $320,000 to gold, hinting
that the amount had been stolen. The
prisoner offers Mr. Robertson one-third
of the amount if he will unearth it and
forward the remainder to him. The
letter enjoins Mr. Robertson to secrecy,
and concludes by saying that if the
offer is accepted the exact location of
the hidden treasure will be given. The
matter has been turned over to the
Mexican police authorities.
The Logan Monument.
Detroit, Sept. 18.—Mrs. John A. Lo
gan, who is visiting General Alger's
family here, said: "lam here to see
General Alger in regard to the monu
ment to be erected to General Logan in
Washington. I should like to have
this monument ready for nnveiling
when the Grand Amy meets in Wash
ington next year, but I fear there is not
time enough now to do it General
Alger has promised the to ask the com
mittee to meet in Washington at an
early day to ask for deeigua. I want
the monument to be of bronze and
granite. I think nearly enough money
has been raised for the purpose. ”

SAVED THE LEVEE
For days the river had been rising.
The levees above were gone for miles
aud miles, anil the mod waters had
swept over the bauks. carrying fortunes
and even lives before them On one of
the big plantations opposite Shreveport
every effort was being made to with
stand the flood Hands were collected
from every cabin and recruited from all
the adjoining places to strengthen the
water soaked levees, which shook on the
pressure of a man’s foot
It was almost dusk, but the men who
had not rested foi days worked with
the strength of fresh vigor as the voice
of Tom Aiken, the planter directed
them aud cheered them 011 to the task
which seemed so hopeless as the water
crept steadily and steadily higher. Bnt
for the fact that every one was busy
with his work, a little negro boy. who
suddenly dropped his spade and Rtole
away betwixt the wheels of the big sand
wagon, might have been seen as lie scur
ried away around the curve in the em
bankment
He ran quickly along for full a quar
ter of a mile without looking back, down
the narrow, slippery road that was left
between the cotton' rows and the levee.
The boy slackened his pace when he be
came convinced that no one was in pur
suit of him, and as he did so he heard
the loud, cheery voice of Tom Aiken
back at the break, “All work together,
boys!”
Huh? All work together," the boy
said. “Yessir, but you bet dis here nig
ger done tired er workin togedder. Ise
gwine to sleep, I is. I an’ shet my eyes
fur two whole days an nights, an I gwine
round the p’int to Aun’t Viny’s an go to
sleep.”
In his eagerness to reach the coveted
goal the little negro qnickened his pace
again. It was now almost dark, bnt his
eyes had grown accustomed to the
gloom. He could see the curving line of
the levee, which seemed to tremble with
a premonition of its own inadequacy.
He could see all the water pools in the
road. His little legs^iad measured per
haps a mile more when the ominous roar
of the river made him stop and peer over
the levee at the rushing waters.
As he scrambled up the slippery bank
a clod of loosened earth fell heavily into
the road below, and through tho orifice
which it left a little stream of muddy
water trickled. The boy cuught his
breath quickly when the water ran over
his band.
Lordyl” ho exclaimed. “Dere’s gwine
to be a break right here. Lordyl Lordyl
what 1 gwine do?"
He stopped to reconsider. There was
still another mile before he could reach
the Point, and he knew there were only
a few old women iu the cabins there,
and he could get no help from that
source. It was more than a mile back
to where the men were working, and he
was afraid to show himself there after
having run away. Besides there was
not a moment to lose. What was to be
done must be done at once. The boy
knew that a great responsibility rested
upon him. If the little opening were
not stopped immediately it was only a
question of a few moments before the
whole levee would be swept away.
He stood np and looked abont him.
There was no one in sight He thought
he might find a bag of sand dropped by
a passing wagon, but there was none.
With sadden purpose he tnrned and sat
down over the little crevice through
which the water came. The soft earth
yielded to his weight, and with his hands
and feet he pressed it abont him, patting
it to make it firm.
The difficulty had been solved without
his volition almost. It was only after it
was done that he thought of the conse
quences. He calculated iu his unreason
ing way that it was 8 o’clock. How long
wonld he have to remain there? For
aught he knew till morning. He began
to suffer by and by from his cramped
position, but he dared not move even
the least bit lest the crevice wonld open
again.
Ho coaid not - tell how time passed.
Every minute seemed an hoar. He conld
not bear tho sbonts of the men below.
There was only now and then the hoot of
ah owl rising above the roar of the water,
**^the swish as a clod of earth was
sucked into the mad current He wished
he had not run away from his work.
He began to get drowsy; his limbs
were almost numb.. He wondered what
wonld become of him if he shonld go to
sleep. If the waters should rise up over
the levee and drown him and ruin the
cotton, wonld it make any difference
then that he had tried to save it? He
was inadequate to the problem, the like
of which has puzzled graver heads than
his. The hooting of the owl grew less
and less frequent, the swishing of the
waters fainter and fainter, the pain in
ids back easier.
He most have slept some time. Sud
denly he was awakened by the gailop of
a hone on the road below He was. too
weak to move. His voice was almost
gone, bnt as the horse and rider ap
proached he cried ont with all Hie
strength he conld snmmon. “Morse
Tom!”
Mr. Aiken drew rein qnickly and
turned his big lantern in the direction
of the voice.
“Who is it, and where are you?" he
asked, dismounting.
It's me, boss,” answered the boy.
the sonnd of boat wheels around the
curve and the whistle sounded out
hoarsely.
“By George!” exclaimed Aiken,
‘there’s a boat and three more inches of
water will top tho levee here and then
all is lost.”
In a few moments the boat rounded
the carve and the big lights shone ont
across the water.
“The Marsden,” Aiken said, as he saw
the two smokestacks, “with Morton at
the wheel; 1 shall have to fight for it.”
So saying he picked np his gnn from
where he had dropped it when he dis
mounted and strode on a few puces up
stream to meet the boat.
“Steer for the other side!” he called
out when the boat was to hailing dis
tance. ,
“I’m running this machine,” respond
ed the course voice of Morton, “and 1
guess the river is free."
Aiken conld see the little tongues of
water as they overlapped the bunk above.
If the boat did not turn she would send
the water over the levee lower down
where the boy was, and he and the
whole embankment wonld be sacked in.
There was no time to be losL
Swinging the lantern above his head
so that Morton might see him. he flung
his riflo to his shoulder and called back,
“Come another foot nearer to this shore
and you are u dead man."
Morton knew what manner of man he
had to deal with. The wheel reversed,
the boat tacked and grazed the opposite
shore, which was already submerged.
“All right now. Pete,” 8aid Aiken
gently, patting the boy’s muddy pate.
“I’ll go on and be back in a few mo
ments.”
When they came by and pnt sand bags
in the hole Pete had been covering the
little fellow was too weak to speak or to
stand, and Mr. Aiken took him up in his
arms and himself carried him to the
house.
And now Pete does nothing bnt ride
on the back seat of the carriage to open
gates for the driver or to carry parcels
