that are at Home also." The fact is that Paul was ever moving about on land or sea. He was an old sailor—not from occupation, but from frequency of travel. I think lie could have taken a vessel across the Mediterranean as well as some of the ship captains. The sailors never scoffed at him for being a "land lubber." If Paul's advice ha I been taken, tho crew would never have gone ashore at Aielit.a.

When tho vessel went scudding under b-ire poles Paul was the only self possessed man on board, and, turning to the excited crew i.n 1 despairing pa*sonijers he exvoice that sounds above the thunder of the temnest and the wrath of the sea "lie of good ehejr."

The men who now go to sei with maps

People then ventured only from headland to headland and froai island to isL.nd, and not iongaftjr spread their sail for a voyage across the sea Before starting, the weather was watched, and, the ship having been hauled up on tho shore, tho mariners placed their shoulders against the stern of the ship and heaved it o.f, t.hey at the last moment ieaping into it.

This last Kind wa,i what Paul alluded to when he said: hich pe we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enteroih in.o that within the vail." 'lhat was what the sailors call a "hook anchor. The rocks and sandbars, shoals and headlands, not being mapped out, vessels carr.ed a plumb line. They would drop it and find the water fifty fathoms, and drop it again and find it forty fathoms, and drop it a -caiti atid find it thirty fathoms, thus distovering their near approach to the sho.e.

A few counse.s, a hasty good by, a last look, and the ropes rattle, and the sails are hoisted, and the planks are hauled in, and Paul is gone. 1 expect to sail over some of the same waters over which Paul sailed, but before going I want to urge you ali to embark for heaven.

The church is the drydock where souls are to be fitted out for heaven. In making a vessel for this voyage, the first need is sound timber. The floor timber ought to be of sol stuff. For tho want of it, vessels that looked able to run their jibbooms into the eye of any tempest, when caught in a storm have been crushed like a wafer. The truths of GoJ's onl are wiiat 1 mean by floor timbers. Nothing but oa s, hewn in the forest of divine truth, arc stanch enough for this craft.

You must have Love for a helm, to gi ide and turn the craft. Neither Pride nor Ambition nor Avarice 11 do for a rudder.

that so often sweeps the deck and fills the hatches but that which strikes in front is harmless. Meet troubles courageously and you surmount them. Stand on the prow, and as you wipe off the spray of the split surge, cry out with the apostle "None of these things move me." Let all your fears stay aft. The right must conquer. Know that Moses, in an ark of bulrushes, can run down a war steamer.

Have a good strong anchor. "Which hope we have as an anchor.'' By this strong cable and windlass hold on to your anchor. "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father." Do not use the anchor wrongfully. Do not always stay in the same latitude and longitude. You will never ride up the harbor of eternal rest if you all the way drag your anchor.

But you must have sails. Vessels are not fit for the sea until they have the flying jib, the foresail, the topgallant, the skysail, the gaffsail and other canvas. Faith is I our canvas. Hoist it, and the winds of heaven will drive you ahcid. Sails made out of any other canvas than faith will be s.it to tatters by the first northeaster.

Strong faith never lost a battle. It will crush foes, blast rocks, quench lightnings, thresh mountains. It, is a shield to the warrior, a crank to the most ponderous wheel, a lever to pry up pyramids, a drum whose beat gives strength to the step of the heavenly soldiery, and sails to waft ships laden with priceless pearls from the harbor of earth to the harbor of heaven.

Butyou arc not yet equipped. You must have wnat seamen call tlie running rigginsr. This comprises the ship's braces, halliards, clew lines and such like. Without these the yards could not be br.iced, the sails lifted, nor the canvas in anywise managed. We have prayer for the running rigging. Unless you understand this tackling you are not a spiritual seaman. By pulling on these ropes, you hoist the sails of faith and turn them every whither. The prow of courage will not cut the wave, nor the sail of faith spread and flap its wing, unless you have strong grayer lor a halliard.

One more arrangement, and you will be ready for the sea. You must have a compass—which is the Bible. Look at it every day, and always sail by it, as its needle points toward the Star of Bethlehem. Through fog, and darkness, and storm, it works faithfully. Search the Scriptures. "Box the compass."

Let me give you two or three rule? for the voyage. Allow your appetites and passions an under deck passage. Do not allow them ever to come up on the promenade deck. Mortify your members which are upon the earth. Never allow your lower :.- I ture anything but a steerage passage. Let watchfulness walk the decks as an armed sentinel, and shoot down with great promptness anything like a mutiny of riotous appctites. lie sure to look out of the forecastle for icebergs. These are cold Christians iioating about in tho church. The frigid I'ono pr d'essors will sink you. Steer cie:ir of icebjrgs. Keep a logbook during ail the voyage—an account of how many furlongs you make a day, Tho mere nan kojps a daybook as well as a ledger. You ought to know every night, as well as every .year, how thing are going. When the express train stops at the depot, you hoar a hammer sounding on all the wheels, thus testify the safety of the rail train. Boun 1, as we are, with more than express speed toward a great eternity, ought we not, often to try the work of self examination?

Be sure to keep your colors up! Yo.i know the ships of England, Russia, France and Spain by tho ensigns they carry, Sometimes it is a lion, sometimes an eagle, sometimes a star, sometimes a crown. Let it ever be known who you are, and for what port you are bound. Let christian" I be written on the very front, with a figure of a cross, a crown and a dove and from the masthead let float the streamers of Immanuel. Then the pirate vessels of temptation will pass you unharmed as they say: "There goes a Christian, bound for the port of heaven. VVe will not disturb her, for she has too many guns aboard." Run up your flag oti this pulley: "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God and the wis lo:n of God unto salvation." When driven ba or laboring under great stress of weather— now changing from starboard tack to larboard, and then from larboard to starboard —look above the topgallants, and your heart shall beat like a war drum as the streamers float on the wind. The sign of the cross will make you patient, and the crown will make vou glad.

Before you gain port yo:i will smell the land breezes of heaven, and Christ, the pilot, will meet you as you come into the N a at a as to a say: "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee.'' Are you ready for such a voyage Make up your minds. Tho gang planks are lifting, The bell rings. Ail aboard for Heaven! This world is not your rest. The chaffinch is the silliest bird in all the earth for trying to make its nest on the rocking billow. Oh, how I wish that as I embark for the Holy Land in the east, all to whom I preach by tongue or type would embark for heaven! What you ail most need is God, and you need him now. Some of you I leave in trouble. Things are going very rough with you. You have had a hard struggle with poverty, or sickness, or persecution, or hereavement. Light after light has gone out, and it is so dark that you can hardly see any blessing left. May that .lesus who comforted the widow of Nain and raised the deceased to life, with his gentle hand of sympathy wipe away your tears All is w^il.

When David was fleeing through tha wilderness, pursued by his own son, he was being prepared to become the sweet singer of Israel. The pit and the dungeon were tho best schools at which .Joseph graduated, The hurricane that upset, the tent and killed Job's children prepared tho man of Uzto write the magnificent poem that has astounded the ages. There is no way to purify the gold but to burn it. Look at the people who have always had it their own way. They are proud, discontented, useless and unhappy. If you want to find cheerful folks, go among those who have been purified by the lire. After Rossini had rendered "William Tell" the five hundredth time, a company of musicians came under his window in Paris and serenaded him. They put upon his brow a golden crown of laurel leaves. But amidst all the applause and enthusiasm, Rossini turned to a friend and said: "I would give all this brilliant scene for a few days of youth and love." Contrast tho melancholy feeling of Rossini, who had everything that this world could eive him, to the joyful experience of Isaac Watts, whose misfcrtuues were innumerable, when lie say a:

It is prosperity that kills and trouble that saves. While the Israelites were on the march, amidst great privations and hardships, they behaved well.

and stuffed themselves until they d'ed. Oh! my friends, it is not hard-ship, or tr.al, or starvation that injures the soul, but abundant supply. It is not the vulture of trouble that eats up the Christian's life it is the quails! it is the quails!

I cannot leave you until once more I confess my faith in the Saviour whom I have preached. He is my all in all. I owe more to the grace of God than most men. ith this ardent temperament, if I had gone overboard I would have gone to the very depths. You know I can do nothing by halves.

O to grace how i^r^at a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be!

I thir.k all will be well. Do not be worried about me. I know'that my Redeemer liveth, and if any fatality should befall me, I think I should go straight. I have been most unworthy, and would be sorry to think that any ono of my friends had been as unworthy a Christian as mj'se.f. Bu God has helped a great many through, and I hope he will help me through. It is a long account of shortcomings, but if ho is going to rub any of it out, I think he wil. rub it all out. And now give us (for I go not alone) your benediction. When you send letters to a d.slant land, you salvia such a cily, or via sucli a steamer. When you send your good wishes to us, send them via the throne of uod. We shall not travel out of tho reach of your prayers. There is hccuo w-! cr. spirits dwell, here fri-nd holds intercourse with Trit-ud: Though sundered far, by faith wo moat Around una common mercy -al'.

And now, may the blessing of God come down upon your bodies and up an your souls, your fathers and mothers,your companions, your chiklren„vour brothers and .sters and your friends! May you bo blessed iu your business and in your pleasures, in your joys and in your sorrows, in the house and by the way! And if, during on arrow from the unseen world should strike any of us,may it only hasten on the raptures that God has prepared for those who love him! I utter uot the word farewell it is too sad, too formal a word for me to speak or write. But. considering that I have your hand tightly clasped in both of mine, I utter a kind, an affectionate and a chccrful goodby!

EXPERIMENTS WITH EXTBALITE,

The New Explosive Said to Possess Greater Power Than Dynamite. A new explosive recently patented by Rudolf Ericsoih a young- Swede, was tested in New York before a few newspaper representatives. The new compound is called "exfcralitu" an.I it is claimed to be of great power, but also to be absolutely harmless when not confined in an air-light and rigid receptacle. The extra lite is an innoceutlooking, granulated substance of about the color and general appearance of coarse corn-meal, made up of a compound of ammouiacfil salt, a hydro carbon, and chlorate of potash. The lirst experiment was to demonstrate its safely while burning in the open air. Mr. Ericson built a little lire and carelessly broke open four of the packages of extralite and scattered it on the Jlames. There was no explosion, the extralite burning rapidly, with a hissing sound and a yellow llume. Xext a percussion cap and fuse were attached to one of the extralite cartridges and the fuse was lighted. The cap went olY, but the cartridge remained intact. Then the inventor of the explosive poured some out on a rock and pounded it violently with a stone. Then borings in the solid rock were loaded with tha extralite. One hole was eighteen inches deep, aud eight ounces of the explosive was rammed into it. The others were twelve and eighteen inches respectively, and four ounces more were put into them. All these charges were lired in unison by means of per-cussion-caps and a live electric wire. Although the position was not such as to show tho power of tho extralite to its best advantage the explosion was teri-ilie. It split oil two tons of »-ock from the face of the ledge and shattered the main position of the ledge into layers. Though the drills had been well covered the fragments of rock rose to a height of 100 feet or more. The inventor of the extralite said that the lifting power is greater than that of dynamite.

onio.

The election in Ohio November 5, was for State officers and Legislature—tho latter to elect a U. S. Senator to succeed Henry B. Payne, Democrat. Seven hundred and twelve voting places outside of Cincinnati gave Foraker 112,024. Campbell 100,f Helwig 5,:?rl. The same iu 1SS7 gave Foraker 100,741 Powell 9S,lSf, sharp 5,540. The election was quiet and orderly at Cincinnati. Campbell secured a majority of 0,05:2 in the city as against about the same majority for Foraker two years ago. There was a heavy defection from Foraker in the German vote, largely on account of dissatisfaction with the enforcement or no-ncnforecmoit of the liquor and Sunday laws. Chairman Neal of the Democratic Committee claims Campbell, election by from'5,000 to 10,000 majority. The Republicans almost bui. concede the defeat of Foraker but have strong hopes of the remainder of the ticket being successful. The Republican executive committee claim the election of tlie Legislature and the State ticket, except Governor Foraker, who is in doubt. If the

separation,an jjepublican counties on the westen reserve and in other parts of the State hold up to expectations, Foraker will pull through by a small plurality. The Legislature is claimed by the Republicans as a certainty.

In the western reserve the Prohibitionists made gains and the Labor party losses, both favorable to the Democratic ticket. All indications at this writing, with but one fifth of the State heard from, are favorable to the Democrats.

NEW YOItK.

In this State a Secretary of State and other minor State officers were elected. There was not great interest manifested. The Democratic majority in New York city is G3,.'JG0, to which Brooklyn adds 10,s: 5. The Democratic State ticket is elected by about 10,Ct0 majority. The Legislature stands: Senate :il Republicans, 11 Democrats Assembly 0'J Republicans and 01 Democrats. Amos J. Cummings, Democrat, was elected to Congress in the Sunset Cos district without opposition, unless 24 Prohibition votes may be characterized as such. vikgixiv.

Interest in the election in Virgini awas largely due to the fact that Gen. Mahone (or old Bill Mali one himself) was the Republican candidate for governor. The majority against Mahone will probably exceed 25,000, and the Legislature is largely Democratic. The Democrats made gains iu all parts of the State. In same of the counties in the "black belt" the negroes voted with the Democrats. In Norfolk tae Republicans claim the negro vote fell off one half, they taking little interest in the election. In one precinct in Jackson a negro judge left the room-for half an hour. When he returned he preferred charges against Messrs. Preston, Belvin, and R. M. Smith, Jr., for obstructing voters. The other two judges tried the case and discharged Belvin and Smith and required the negro judge to pay the costs. This angered the negro, and he refused to serve as judge any longer. This put a stop to voting, but it was resumed about 5 o'clock. Governor Lee sent the following tidings to Ex-President Cleveland: "Virginia has buried Alahone by probably 30,000." Gen. Mahone charges thatnthc dilatoriness of election judges deprived him of many thousand votes. The Washington coi'respondcut of the Indianapolis Journal telegraphs: "In Richmond alone at least 4,000 negroes who wanted to vote for Mahone, did not have an opportunity to cast their ballots.

White men were allowed to vote as soon as they appeared, but the colored men, thousands of whom went in£o line and stood there till live minutes after 5 o'clock Tuesday evening did not reach the ballot-boxes. He charges that the same processes prevailed throughout the State and attributes defeat of Manhone theretoIn a shooting affray at Portsworth a negro wasjaccidently killed." Gen. Mahone was arrested Tuesday evening charged with shooting H. P. Harrison, who with a number of companions was .sending off live works in front of Malione's residence. Mahone was taken to the station house. He denies the charge. The wound received by Harrison is not dangerous. Another dispatch says: A crowd of Democrats marched to Gen. Mahone's house at 10:50 o'clock Tuesday evening, and, entering the yard, began to fire rockets and liomau candles, some of them being aimed at the General's house shouldered a shotgun, and and some of his friends went with liim to the yard, whereupon the crowd dispersed.

KANSAS.

Elections for county officers only were held, and in many instances the x*esult is without political significance. In some cases a resubmission of the prohibitory amendment was forced as an issue. No deductions can be made for several days. The ^Democrats seem to have held their own, if not made gains, in the local olh voted for. "Their own", is not lar„e a Kansas. SB®

IOWA.

Nearly every part of the State heard from shows Democratic gains, which in some prccincts amount to a landslide. The city of Burlington gives 1,500 Democratic majority, and Des Moines county will raise it to 3,000, a clear gain of S00 over the vote of two years ago. Carroll county re ports a Democratic, majority of 700, a gain of 500. The Democratic gain in the town of Cherokee is 156. Scotland and Dubuque counties also show large gains. Returns are not sufficient to base a conclusion, but they indicate the election of Horace Botes (Dem.) for Governor. Pottawattamie county gives Boies 1,500 majority. In 1887 the Democratic majority was but 125.

At midnight the aggregate returns covering One-sixth of tho State show very heavy Democratic gains. The Democrats have made heavy gains in the river coun*:

ties, and the Republicans have faiied tohold.up in the Northwest, so far as heard from. The Democratic State headquarters claim that if the present ratio of gains is continued tliey will carry the State by.. 7,000. The Republican headquarters injsist that the strong Republican counties have not yet reported and will cut down the Democratic gains so that Hutchinson, will be elected by a small plurality.
