Of course the first and lastthoughtone
has of Malta is that the island was the
home of the Order of the Knights of
■St. John, or Knights Hospitallers.
This Order, which was the most noble
of those r.f the days of mediaeval chiv
alry, was the band of warrior monks
who waged war against the infidels,
who kept certain vows, and who, under
the banner of the white cross, became
honored and feared throughout the
then known world. Their headquarters
changed from place to place during the
four hundred years that stretched from
the Eleventh Century, when the Order
was first established, up to 1530, when
Charles V. made over to Malta and all
its dependencies in perpetual sov
ereignty to the keeping of these
Knights. They had no sooner fortified
the island than there began the nine
months’ siege of the Turks, one of the
most memorable sieges in history.
When it was ended, the Turks re-em
barked 10,000 of the 40,000 men they
hud landed, and of the 9000 Knights
present under the Grand Master Jean
de la Valette when the siege had
opened, hut 000 capable of bearing
arms remained alive. — Harper’s

everything points that >vuy, and tho tiling
will ho done as sure as you live. And that
is tho process by whioh many havo been
tempted through limitation of capital into
labyrinths from which they could not bo ex
tricated,
1 Would hot Wattt U chain honeSk enter

thb avehiies for honest accumulation that
Opert before young mon. On the contrary. I
would like to cheer them on and rejoice
when they reach the goal, but when there aro
such multitudes of mon going to ruin for
this life and the life that is to come through
wrong notions of what urd lawful spheres of
enterprise it is the duty of ministers of re
ligion and tho friends ot all young men to
utter a plain, emphatic, unmistakable pro
test, These aro tho Influences that drown
ttleii iii destruction and perdition.
Again, a greatjtfnny of our business men
are tempted to ffver-npxloty and care. You
know that nearly all commercial businesses
are overdone in this day, Hmitten with the
love of quiok. gain, oiir cities are crowded
with men resolved to be rich at all hazards.
They do not care how money comes. Our
best merchants aro thrown into competition
with men of more means und less conscience,
and if an opportunity of accumulation be ne
glected one hour some one elso picks it itp.
From January to December thestrugglegocs
on. Night givos no quiet to limbs tossing in
restlessness, nor to a braJu that will not stop
thinking. Tho dreams aro harrowed by
Imaxinury Iobh and fluahod with InmKirmry
Kttlus. Even tho Sablmth cannot dam back
tin) tide of anxiety, for thin wave of worMli*
ni-HH dashes clear over the churches anil
leaves ils foam on Bibles and prayer books.
Men who are living on salaries or by the
culture of the soil cannot understand tho
wear and tour of body and mind to which
our merchants are subjected when they do
not know but that tholr llvolihooil and their
business honor aro dependent upon tho un
certainties of tho next hour. This excite,
ment of the brain, this corroding osre of tho
heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the
splr t sends a «rent irihny of our best men In
midlife to the grave. They find
that Wall street docs not end at the Bust
River. It ends at Greenwood 1 Tholr life
dashed out against money safes. They go
with tholr store on their back. They trudge
like camels, Bweatlug from Aleppo to Damns-
cus. Thov make their life a crucifixion.
Ktaaaing behind desks and counters, ban
ished from the fresh air, weighed down by
curklng cares, they are so many suicides.
Oh, I wish X could to-day rub out some ot
these lines of care; that I could lift some of
Ihe burdens from the heart; that I could
give relaxation to some of these, worn
muscles i It is timo tat you to begin to take
it a little easier. Do your best, and then
trust God for the rest. Do not fret. God
manages all the affairs of your life, and Ho
manages them for the best. Consider the
lilies—they always have robes. Behold tho
fowls of the air—they always havo nests.
Take a long fcjreath. Bethink betimes that
God did not make you a pack horse. Dig
yourselves otft from %mong tho hogsheads
and tho shelves, andjn tho light of tho holv
Sabbath day resolve that you will give to tho
winds your fears, and your frotfulnoss, and
your distressed. You brought nothing into
tho world, and it is very certain you can
carry nothing out. Having food and
raimant, belherewith content.
The merchant came home from tho store.
There had been great disaster thero. He
opened tho front doer and said in the midst
of l>.s family circle: “I am ruined. Ev
erything Is gone. I am all ruined !’• His
wife said, “I am left,” and tho llttlo child
throw up its hands and said, “Papa, I am
here.” Tho agod grandmother seated In tho
room said, “Then you-have all tho promises
of God beside, John.” And ho burst Into
tears and said; “God forgive mo that I havo
been so ungrateful I find I have a great
mr tvm w*? jav. .
Years previous to that time Annually there
Ufld booil .3()j0(J0 failures ill the United Htatos.
Mjthy of those person^ never teedvefed from
thri misfortune. But,let mo give a word of
comfort In passing. The sheriff may dell you
out of many things, but there aro some
things of which ho cannot sell you out. He
cannot sell out your health. lie cannot soil
out your family. Ho cannot sell out your
Bible. He cannot sell out your God. He
cannot soli out your heaven. You havo more
than you have lost.
Hons and daughters of God, children of nn
fetorrial mid till idviiig Father, mourn not
when your property goes. Tho world is
yours, und life is yours, and death is yours,
and immortality is yours, and thrones of im
perial grandeur are yours, and rivers of
gladness are yours, and shining mansions
are yours, and God is yours. The eternal
God has sworn it, and every time you doubt
it you charge tho King of heaven and earth
with perjury. Instead of complaining how
hard you have it, go home, take up your
Bible fail of promises, get down on your
knees before God and thank Him for what
you havo instead of spending so much time
In complaining about what you have not.
.Some of you remember Dio shipwreck of
the Central America. This noble steamer
had, I think, about 600 passengers aboard.
Suddenly the storm eftmo, and the surges
trampled the decks und swung Into the
hatches, and there went up a hundred voiced
death shriek. The foam on the jaw of tho
wave ; the pitching of the steamer as though
it wore leaping a mountain ; the dismal flare
of the signal rockets ; tho long cough of the
steam pipes; the hiss of the extinguished
furnaces ; tho walking of God on the wavel
The steamer wont not down without a strug
gle.
As tho passongors stationed themselves in
rows to bale out the vessel, hark to the
thump of tho buckets as men unused to toll,
with blistered hands and strained muscle,
tug for tholr lives. There is a sail seen
against the sky. The flash of the distress
cun Is sounded. Its voice is heard not. for
It Is choked in the louder booming of tho sea
A foWspassongera escaped, but the steamer
gave one groat lurch and was gone! Ho
there are some mon who sail on prosperously
in life. All’s well, all’s well. But at lost
uomo financial disaster comes—a ouroclydon.
Down they go ! the bottom of this commer
cial sea strewn with shattered hulks.
But because your property goes do not
lot your soul go. Though all else perish,
save that, for I havo to tell you of a more
stupendous shlpwrook than that which I
have just mentioned. God launched this
world 6000 years ago. It has been going on
under freight of mountains and immortals,
but one day it will stagger at tho cry of fire.
The timbers of rock will burn, the mountains
flame like masts and the clouds like sails in
the judgment hurricane. Then God shall
take the passengers off the deck, and from
the berths those who have long been asleep
In Jesus, and He will set them far beyond,
the reach of storm and peril.
But how many shall go down? That will
never bo known until it shall bo announced
one day in heaven—the shipwreck of a world.
Ob, my dear hearers, whatever you lose,
though your houses go, though your lands
go, though all your enrthly possessions per
ish, may Almighty God, through the blood ol
the everlasting covenant, save all your souls.

The forty-sixth anniversary of the
wedding of ex-Senator Joseph E.
Brown and his good lady and the sixty-
seventh birthday of Mrs. Brown were
celebrated at the homo of the vener
able ex-governor and senator at Atlan
ta a few days ago. Tho first occasion
of tho day was tho birthday of Mrs.
Brown, who is tlio only woman who
lias boon the first lady in tho execu

and Mrs. Brown wero married forty-
six years ago in West Union, S. O., at

A suit has been filed in tlio Fulton
superior court at Atlanta against Mr.

largo amount of property situated in
wlmt is known ns Inman Park, at At
lanta. The suit was filed by Mrs.
Joseph Gralmm, of Augusta, a sister-
in-law of Mr. Ryan. Hho claims, so
the story goes, that several years ago
she borrowed a sum of money from
Mr. Ryan for which slio desired to ex
ecute to him a mortgage. Instead of
a mortgage, however, it is claimed that
she was ignorantly induced to execute
to him a deed and thut Mr. Ryan is
now in full and absolute ownership of
the property which rightfully belongs
to her.

An Ancient tittml Itocord.
A paper ninety-eight years old camo
to Governor Nortliou a fow days ago
front rt New Yorker. lie said that it
was no gen’d to him, nnd ho concluded’
to send it back to Georgia, whence it
came. It was a grant of 54,000 ncrea
of land in Montgomery county, made
in 171)5 by James Hhortcr to Charles
McDonald. Governor Matthows was
tile chief executive of the state then.
The land is described ns lying on the
Ohoopeo and Onnoucheo rivers. The
boundaries are lines running from
jiltie treo to pine tree, The grant
was stolen by a federal soldier
during tho wnf, carried north and
given to D. A. White, of Frodonin, N.
Y. The consideration named for the
conveyance of the tract of land is 5
shillings. The paper? is recorded in
book C, folio 3(1, date Juno 10, 1796,

Tlio most serious problem that iff
now engaging tho attention of tho “cot
ton raising stnto” is tho discovery of
sonic staple crop favored by tho cli
matic Inllucnces of these states, and
Which may be planted alongside with
cotton, thus reducing tlio cotton acre
age. Hence the bulletin issued from
tlio experiment station of Alabama by
Professor Bondurnut, the professor of
agriculture in tho Agricultural and
Mechanical college, nnd agriculturist,
of the experiment, station, on “tho
tobacco plant,” embodying the results
of his experiments with the plnnt, ia
most timely and will prove interesting
rending to Georgia farmers.
The bulletin discusses the experi
ments conducted In raising plants on
tlio station tlio past year, tho compar
ison of several different varietiosgrown
and tho testing of the quality
of tho tobacco grown for cigar
purposes. It ooutnins many illustra
tions, showing tlio method of covering
tho plant beds with canvass and differ
ent methods of raising (lie plant,trans
planting, field culture,method of suck-
ering, topping and harvesting tho
plants; an illustration showing a mod
ern barn, and method of stripping,
prizing and curing. Tho bulletin gives
a detailed statement of tho method of
preparing the plant beds, tho raising
nnd transplanting tlio plants,the prep
aration of the tobacco field, *nd tlio
way that it should bo workod, lisrvest-
ed, cured and prepared for market, tho
oim being to give tlio farmers particu
larly of this state, in a brief and con
cise form, all tlio information that hi
noeded for the successful cultivation of
this plant.
The bulletin makes the following
striking comparison: The yield of
ootton in tlio United Btatus In theyesr
1888 was 180 pounds per acre, average
price per pound eight nnd one-half
cents; value per acre @15.30. With
tobacco, during tho last decade, the
annual production has boon about one-
sixth that of cotton, and tho average
yield per acre, about seven hundred
and twenty-live pounds, with nn aver
age of eight and ono-half cents per
pound, making tho value of tobaeco
per aero @61.02 1-2.
MUCH TO LIVE FOtl.
lie loved her more than tongue could
toll—ut least moro than his tongue eoulil
tell—for he had been telling her of it for
months, and is still at it seven nights a
week, lie was sweet ami musical as
bright Apollo's lute, strung with his own
hair, and when lie spoke tile voice of all
the gods made heaven drowsy with the
harmony.
Naturally, under such circumstances,
the girl liked to listen. Yet she had
lived in Chicago so many winters thut
she had some doubts about love keeping
the cold out better than a clonk and
serving for lood and raiment. Bpareribs
and sealskins, she knew were more com
fortable from a practical standpoint.
Yet she loved to listen to this lover’s
love. It’s a weakness women have even
in Chicago.
On this occnsion he had been talking
to her of his love and his hopes for the
future.
“I havo so much tolive for,” he whis
pered tenderly, as lie took her in his
great strong arms.
She looked up into his face trust
fully.
“1 should say you did, George,
she said with charming naivete. “ I
weighed 200 pounds to-day on pupa’s
hog scales.”
“Birdie,” ho murmured, and kissed
her.—[Detroit Free Press.
