Religious Department. Dit.C. W. LANE, Editor. 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 change. Children's Department. WHAT DO WE PLANT WHEN WE PLANT THE TREE? Wbat do we plant when wo plant the tree?

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 Life Insurance company, held here, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, Grave charges against the Officers and managers of the New York Life Insurance company, of which we are policy holders, involving the safety and solvency of the company, have been publicly made and widely circu lated; and, Whereas, it is necessary for the pro tection of policy holders that the truth of such charges shall be faith full j^and impartially investigated in order that the said officers, if unjustly charged, be promptly vindicated and confidence re stored, and that snch evils that may be found to exist he corrected.

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.

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.— New York Recorder 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. ” Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17,1889.

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 when Tom Aiken’s pretty wife goes to Shreveport shopping, for his "boss’’ is gratefnl to the little hero who saved the plantation.—Patience Oriel in Philadel phia Times (embarrassing Indeed.
