f “Receive my instruction and not rilver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all things that may ,be desired are not to be compared to it” Thk New Yjrk Dock Department has been unearthing some oX the most, gigantic frauds that prevailed * under Tammany rule. One pier was leased by the Department for many years to a well knowja leader for $250,000 per annum, the lessee being able to realize over $900,000 a year from the property. The State of Georgia has gone in* to the railroad business, having bought the Northeastern rdad, April J 5, for SIOO,OOO, Gov. Alkinson Acting on behalf of the commonwealth. JPhe. road runs from Athens to Lula; thirty-nine and four-tenths miles.' ft was incorporated by the State which is also indorser on the bonds of the road for $260,000. The raih way will be operated by the Stat| government, but maybe resold oh leased in the future. • The world’s gold production, lost year, reached a value of $170,000,000, being an increase of $20,000,000 over the year previous, and an increase of $60,000,000 over the average yearly production for the five years ending in 1890. The United States pro- . ced more than • 'dtie-fourth of the pol'd mined in the world in 1894. It is not unreasonable to suppose that the time might come, and that speedily, when this country might be in a position to dictate terms to the balance of the world in regard to money itandards.

Three Cabinet officers, a diplomatic official and seven other people were the guests cf Edward Atkinion, the Boston economist, at,a novel Sinner at Washington, recently. Mr, Atkinson cooked the dinner himself. There were seven courses, and the satire expense for the ten people was $1.50. The dinner was pronounced first-class by all present. Those present, besides Mr. Atkinlon, were Secretary and Mrs. John G. Carlisle, Secretary and Miss Morton, ex-Postmaster General and Mrs. W. S. Bissell, the Japanese ministerand Mr. and- Mrs. Hamlin, « _ The Dominion Government will absorb the independent province of Newfoundland in the near future. The Canadian Parliament passed an enabling act for this purpose thirty fears ago, but Newfoundland has iteadfas tly refused to be “taken in.” Circumstances have now practically forced the union which is so distasteful to the people of Newfoundland, who would much rather be annexed to the United Stages. Evidently the time is not ripe for Canadian annexition. Newfoundland will become the eighth Canadian province.

Reed Waddell, the inventor of the “gold brick” swindle,” was killed in Paris, France, March 27, by Tom O’Brien, known as the “King of Bunco Men.” O’Brien tried to “bleed" Waddell continually, but at last he refused to accede to his demands, and in the difficulty which followed was killed. Waddell had amassed considerable wealth by bis swindles and had $35,000 in cash on his person when he was shot,~Jlis remains reached New York on the Gascogne, April 14.

South American countries have m unbounded admiration for President Monroe 'of this country, who gave to the world the “Monroe doctrine, ' the generic idea of which is that European governments should not be permitted to gain a foothold on this side of the Atlantic. A splendid statue of Monroe, of Venezuelan marble, is now going up at Rio de Janeiro, and another of heroic size is to be erected in the public square of Caracas. There > are other statues of this great American in other South American cities, and it is estimated that he has been more (often honored in this way south of the equator than in his native land. If this statement be true it only exemplifies the Scriptural adage that “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country Eastf.r lilies are produced from bulbs that are grown in Bermuda.. The bulbs are dug and shipped to the United States early in summer. Florists usually plant them in pots in the latter part of July. As soon as they arc sprouted, in the shade, they are brought into greenhouses and forced into bloom for Christmas. Those intended for Easter are started in the pots later.

The industry has grown toi great proportions in the large cities. Tc judge accurately of the- time of blooming is of the utmost import ance, inasmuch as lilies that are worth; $3 a sdozen the day befpre Easier, Sunday, are often a drug on the market at fifty cents a dozen on the following Monday. <JThe Bermuda crop of bulbs will be greatly reduced, this year, because of what is known as “lily sickness.” AtASfor poor,weak human nature: An average citizen would suppose that, any man who had been before -the people long enough in public capacities to finally attain to the distinguished and honorable position o 1 Governor of his State would be above, the common lot of men enough to at least control his temper in public places. Yet the people have read of the recent, encounter between Governor Clarke and Representative Jones of Arkansas, wherein the chief executive so far forgot the dignity of his position as to spit in. the; face of his antagonist, an act that'would have been discreditable in a common ruffian. It seepts to be a case of a round man getting into a square hole. A man capable of so far forgetting himself in a public place is certainly unfit for any public honor or trust. There is really no telling what such a character would do ir any emergency.

The Nicaraguan difficulty is attracting some attention. The press correspondents fix up matters one day and knock thg; ay ran ge m ent all to pieces the next. Great Britain, it appears, has issued an ultimatum and Nicaragua does respond in a way altogether satifactory. British naval officials talk about bombarding Greytown, the principal city of Nicaragua, and Secretary Gresham has given notice that the United States will emphatically .protest in case anything of the kind is attempted, The correspondents are likely to involve us in a war with England almost any day. In that case the Hawaiian question and the Cuban revolution will drop “out of sight.” War with England would boom the newspaper business immensely, give our surplus population something to do, afford opportunities for our heroes to distinguish themselves and in the end would bring the whole North American continent under the sway of the government at Washington, On the whole, worse things could happen to this country than a war with England. Tiiose New York millionaires de strike an awful hard row occasionally, and sadly brood over ‘'what might have been.” Poor old Russell Sage, who escaped dynamite by making a shield of one of his clerks, has since been plodding along in the even tenor of his way and has accumulated several millions since he was compelled to spend a few hundred dollars in office repairs, which nearly broke his heart. Casually, in the course of business, he accumulated fifty oil certificates, calling for 1,000 barrels of crude oi 1 each, at the rate of 60 cents. When oil began to advance, Uncle Russell held on till it reached $1.30, when he let his certificates go. The deal netted the millionaire about $40,000, and the old man is said to have gone home on a deadhead pass in great good humor. The very next day oil went to $1.50. Gloom of the blackest character settled down on that unfortunate man, and he probably felt that it was a misfortune to have escaped the dynamiter only to fall a victim to the fluctuations of the stock market in such a heartrending way. Later reports state that Mr. Sage was very ill, and that the oil market was still climbing skyward.

Capt. Edward W. Owen, who died at Brookville, Md., recently in bis eighty-seventh year, was a member of the jury which heard William Wirt make his eloquent speech before Chief Justice Taney, and he was a listener in thp United States Senate to some of Henry Clay’s most famous orations His father, Col. Washington Owen, was with Gen. Winder at Blandensburg. Mgr. Capel, the well-known Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, became a ranchman in California a few years ago, and is now said to be very wealthy. Formerly the pink of perfection in dress, he has now become indifferent io his garb, and always appears in the rough costume of a ranchman. He was once a brilliant social figure in London, and is said to be the original of “Catesby” in Disraeli’s “Lothair.” Li Hung Chang has been able tc take a scientific interest in his bullet wound. The old Chinaman is a man of vast learning, and knows s little about almost every topic that can be mentioned, besides having e natural bent for scientific investi gation.

SIN A DISEASE.

“Now’ Is the Accepted Time—the Day of Salvation.” “Seek l e the Lord While He Mai’ Foun<p'—Dr. Talmage'* - Sermon. - The Rev. Dr. Talmage, last Sunday, again preached to a great audience in The New York Academy of Music. As usual, many were turned away for lack of seats. The sermon was on “SalvatiosUj.’Lth.e text, selected being Isaiah Iv, 6, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found.” Isaiah stands head and shoulders above the other Old Testament authors in vivid fieseriptiveness of Christ. Other prophets give an outline of our. Saviour's features. Some of them pj’resent, as it were, the side face of Christ, others a bust of Christ, but Isaiah gives us the-fuR length portrait of Christ. Other scripture writers excel in : some things—Ezekiel more weird, David more pathetic." Solomon more epigramatic, Habakkqk more sublime —-but when you want to see Christ coming out from the gates, of. prophecy in all His grandeur and glory you involuntarily turn to Isaiah, so that if the prophecies in regard to Christ might be called the “Oratorio of the . Messiah,” the: writing of Isaiah is the “Hallelujah Chorus,” where all the batons wave and all the trumpets conm in. My text finds him standing On ’a“mountain of inspiration. looking ou t in to the future, beholding Christ advancing and anxious that all mem might know Him. His voice rings dowtrthe ages, “Seek ye the Lord while He may pe found.” , Now, you Know very well ,-tlia.t to seek a tiling is to search for it with earnest endeavor. If you want to see a certain man in this city, and there is a matter of SIO,OOO connected with your seeing him, and you' iarinot at'first find him, you do not give up the search. You look in the directory, but cannot find the name: you go in circles where you think perhaps he may mingle, and having .ound the part of the city where he lives, but perhaps not knowing the street, you go through street after street, and from block to block, and you keep on searching for weeks and months.

1 remark, in the first place, you ire to seek the Lord through earnest and believing prayer. God is aot an autocrat or a despot seated jn a throne with his arms resting on brazen lions, and a sentinel pacing ap and down at the foot of the throne. God is a father seated in a bower, waiting for his to 3omeand climb on his knee and get ais kiss and his benediction. Prayer is the cup with which we go to the “fountain of living water” and dip ap refreshment for our thirsty soul. Grace does not come to the heart as we set a cask at- the corner of the house to catch the rain in the show*r. It is a pulley fastened to the throne of God, which we pull, bringing the blessing. Ido not care so much what posture you take in prayer nor how .arge an amount of voice you use. You might get down on your face before God, if you did not pray right inwardly there would be no response. You might cry at the top of your voice, and unless you had a believing spirit within your cry would not tjo farther up than the shout of a plowboy to his oxen. Prayer must be believing, earnest, loving. You ire in your house some summer day, md a shower comes upland a bird, affrighted, darts into the window and wheels about the room. You seize it. You smooth its ruffled plumage. You feel its fluttering heart. You say, “Poor thing, poor thing.”

Now, a prayer goes out of thb storm of this world into the window of God’s mercy and He catches it, and He feels its fluttering pulse, and He puts it in His own bosom of affection and safety. Prayer is a warm, ardent, pulsating exercise. It is an electric battery, wnfeh- touched, thrills to the throne of God! It is the diving bell in which we go down into the depths of God’s mercy and bring up “pearls of great price.” There was an instance where prayer made the waves of the JGcnnessaret solid as stone pavement. Oh, bow many wonderful things prayer has accomplished! Have you ever tried it? In the days when the Scotch Covenanters were persecuted and the enemies were after them, one of the head men among the Covenanters prayed: “O Lord, we be as dead men unless Thbtrshalt help us! O Lord, throw the lap of Thy cloak over these poor things!” And instantly a Scotch mist enveloped and hid the persecuted from their persecutors —the promise literally fulfilled, “While they are yet speaking I will hear.” 1 remark again you must seek the Lord through Bible study. The Bible is the newest book in the world. “Oh,” you say. ‘‘it was made hundreds of years ago. and the learned men of King James translated it hundreds of years ago.” I confute that idea by telling you it is not five minutes old, when God, by his blessed spirit, retranslates it into the heart. If you will, in the seeking of the way of life through Scriptural study, implore God’s light to fall uppn the page, you will find that these promises are not one second old T and that they drop straight from the throne of God into your heart. There are many people to whom the Bible does hot amount to much. It they merely look at thel outside beauty, why, it will no mhre lead them to Christ than will Washington’s farewell address or the korau

of Mohammed or the shatter of the, Hindoos. It is the, in ward light of God’s word you must getr When people are anxious about their souls, there are those who recommend good books. That is all right. But I want to tell you that the Bible is the best book under such circumstances. Baxter wrote “A Cali to the Unconverted,” but the Bible is the best call to the unconverted. Philip Doddridge wrote ‘ ‘The Rise and P regress of Rel igion in the Soul,” but the Bible is the bestriseand progress, John Angell James wrote “Advice to the Anxious .Inquirer,.” but the Bible is the best call to the anxious inquirer. I remark again we must seek God through church ordinances. ‘ ‘ What,” say you, “can’t a man be saved without going to church?” I reply, there are men, I suppose, in glory, who have never seen a church, but the church is the ordained enlans by which we are to be brought to God, and if truth affects us when we are. alone it affects us when we are in the assembly, the feelings of others emphasizing our own feelings. The great law of sympathy comes into play, and a truth that would take hold only with the grasp of a sick man beats mightily against the soul with a thousand -hjearLthrobs. ........

- But I, comp now to the last part .of my text. It tells us when we are to seek theLoi’d, “while He may be found.” When is that? Old age? You may not see old age- Tomorrow? You may not see tomorrow. Tonight? You may not.see tonight. Now? Oh; if I could only write on every heart in three capital letters N-O-W—now! Sin is an awful disease. 1 hear people say with the toss of the head and with a trivial manner. “Oh,-yes, a sinner-”; Sin is an awful disease. It is leprosy. It is dropsy. It is consumption. It. is all moral disorders in one. Now. you know therg is a crisis in a ? disease. Per-, haps you have had some illustration of it in your family. Sometimes the physician has called, and he has looked at tlie patient and said “That case was simple enough, but the crisis has passed. If you had called yesterday or this morning, I could have cured the patient. It is too late now; the crisis has passed.”" Just so ,it is in the spiritual treatment of the soul - -there is a crisis. There are some here who can remember instances in life when, if they had bought a certain property, they would have become very rich. A few acres that would have cost! them almost nothing were offered them. They refused them. Afterward a large village or city sprung up on those acres of ground, and they see what a mistake they made in not buying the property. There was an opportunity of getting it. It never came back again. And so it is in Regard to a man’s spiritual and eternal fortune. There is a chance: if you let that go. perhaps it never comes back. Certainly that one never comes back. Why defer this matter, oh, my dear hearers? Have you any idea that sin will wear out; 1 that it will evaporate; that it. will relax its grasp; that you may find religion as a man finds a lost pocketbook? All, no! No man ever became a Christian by accident or by the relaxing of sin. The etn harassments are all the time increasing. The hosts of darkness are reeruitii«g and the longer you postpone this matter the steeper the path will become. ,1 ask those men who arc before me now whether in the ten or fifteen years they have passed in the postponcment of these matters they have cbme ahy nearer God or heaven? I would not be afraid to challenge this whole audience, so far as they may not have found the peace of the gospel, in regard to the matter. Your hearts, you are willing frankly to tell me, are becoming harder and harder, and that if you come to Christ it will be.more of an undertakingnow than it ever would have been before. The throne of judgment will soon beset, and if you have anything to do toward your eternal salvation you had better do it now,’for the redemption of your soul is precious and it ceaseth forever.

The diamond districts of Brazilare carefully guarded, and a man does not get in there except by d pass from the government, but the love of Christ is a diamond district we may enter and pick up treasures for eternity. “Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart.” Take the hint of the text that I have no time to dwell upon—the hint that there is a time when He cannot be found. There was a man in this city eighty years of age who said to a clergyman who came in, "Do yop think that a man eighty vears of age can get pardoned?” "Oh, yes,” said the clergyman. The old man said: “I can’t. When 1 was twenty years of age —I am now .eighty—the spirit of God came to my soul,, and 1 felt the importance of attending to these things, but I put it off. I rejected God, and since then I have had no feeling.” "Well," said tho minister, “wouldn’t you like to have me pray with you?” “Yes,” replied the old man. “but it will do no good. You can pray with me if you like to." The minister knelt down and prayed and commended, the man’s soul tc God. It seemed to have no effect upon him.- After awhile the last hour of the man’s life came, and through his delirium a spark of intelligence seemed to flash, and with his last breath he said, “I shall nfeCer be forgiven!” “Oh, seek the Lord while He may be found.” -if Who steals goods is called a lhic r ; who steals dominions, a ruler.
