It is real surprising to notice Low men, thinking men, men of enterprise, men who are ever eager and ? - - _ - j anxious 10 seize axiu improve e>eij> opportunity that will benefit them in the least, are sometimes so very slow to notice things that are of such great importance; things, too, that present themselves almost daily. With many life has but one meaning, one object, one aim; that is to find some royal road that will ultimately lead to some favored spot on earth where comfort and pleasures meet them on every hand and their lives will be crowned with an uninterruped peace. Supposing that to be the only aim, Ipf. us look to makingr it a consum mate success in every respect. But to accomplish this end by the cheapest and best methods we must keep well fortified along the whole line of defense. The matter to which I wish to call attention may seem to those not very farseeing as a very trivial one, and for myself I am only indirectly interested, or I would have spoken out much sooner. Lexington Fork is intersected by the Columbia, Newberry, and Laurens Railroad, which was built for what purpose; and we can as pertinently ask what is the object in the construction of all this mighty and inconceivable network of 126,000 miles of railway lines in the United States, 6,000 of which was constructed in 1890, in which the South has taken a very active part, and this year ine grand old "Palmetto State" took the lead of all the States of the Union in the lay of 106.5 miles from January 1st to July 1st of this year? Were they all constructed for only the argumentation of the fortunes of our home and foreign capitalists? No, no. Not entirely so by any means. Railroads now-a-days are being built very largely by municipal and township subscription and how across that bridge and on down through Siberia, bringing under more immediate observation the Russian outrages against exiles and consequently abolishing them; and there are persons here today who, without one qualm of seasickness, will visit that wonderful land where the Christlike, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidie, Solomonic and Heroaio histories overlap each other with such power that by the time I took my feet ?o?I??.nr\o O + tKo />l/-YOO Af fVlO UUl \J1 UJU ouiiupo cvw VAAV vivcv V* vmv journey I felt so wrung out with emotion that it seemed nothing"else could ever absorb my feelings again. THR SEA IS ON THE WAY. The chief hindrance for going to Palestine with many is the dreadful sea, and though I have crossed it ten times it is more dreadful every time, and I fully sympathize with what was said one night when Mr. Beecherand I went over to speak in New York at the anniversary of the Seamen's Friend society, and the clergyman making the opening prayer quoted from St. John, "There shall be no more sea," and Mr. Beecher, seated beside me, in memory of a recent ocean voyage said, "Amen; I am glad of that" By the partial abolition of the Atlantic ocean and the nnfttnni ilmrn r\f pail ffflrtlfd ^'uviux^ uvnu va ?wm? ?* w v.?. every country in al! the world, the most sacred land on earth will come under the observation of so many people who will be ready to tell of what they saw that infidelity will be pronounced only another form of insanity, for no honest man can visit the Holy Land and remain an infideL Tiiis Bible from which I preach has almost fallen apart, for I read from it the most of the events in it recorded on the very places where they occurred. And some of the leaves got wet as the waves dashed over our boat on Lake Galilee, and the book was jostled in the saddle bags for many weeks, but it Is a new book to me, newer than any KtltvIt fhnf Aflirm nnt rvf jitut of our great printing houses. Ail my life I had heard of Palestine, and 1 had read about it, and talked about it, and preached about it, and sung about it, and prayed about it, and dreamed about it, until my anticipations were piled up into something like Himalayan proportions, and yet I have to cry out, as did the queen of Sheba when she first visited the Holy Laud, "The half was not told me." FROM MANGER TO THIiOXE. In order to make the more accurate and vivid a book I have been writing, a life of Christ, entitled "From Manger to Throne," I left home last October, and on the last night of November we were walking the decks of the Senegal, a Mediterranean steamer. It was a ship of Immense proportions. There were but few passengers, for it is generally rough at that tune of year, and pleasurists are not apt to be voy aging tliere and then. The stars wero all out that night. Those armies of light seeiuea to have had their shields newly burnished. We walked the polished deck. Not much was said, for In all our hearts was the dominant word "to-morrow." Somehow the Acropolis, which a few days before had thrilled us at Athens, now in our minds lessened In the height of its columns and the glory of its temples. And the Egyptian pyramids in our memory lessened their wonders of obsolete masonry, and the Coliseum of Rome was not so vast a ruin as It a few weeks bo fore had seemed to be. And all that wo liad seen and heard dwindled in importance, tor to-morrow, / j bales of cotton, (a good load when road is bad,) weighing 1,009 pounds amounts to: AVear of wagon S 25 2 mules, @ 50c 1 00 1 driver 50 I Forage 40 I ? 8 2 15 The same l,0001t> shipped by rail j at 9c. per cwt is 90 cents instead of 82 15, not taking into consideration the fact that when the trip is made to Columbia there are two hands and two mules stopped work in the oats field one whole day and to haul the same load two miles to Irrno can be done in two hours. All the rates are low in proportion to cotton. During the past "ear O A. there were only nine bales of cotton shipped from this place tu Columbia with all the superior advantages of| fered by the railroad, when the number of bales shipped ought to have exceeded 10 times that number. What is the cause of this? Why are the farmers not availing themselves of this opportunity of transportation at less than one-half the cost of hauling in wagons? It is not many years since 011 our railroads all classes of frieght were carried in any kind of car at any leisurely speed, the general freight agent unlimited in power in fixing the rates, especially the local rates 1 it - j maKing me smpptrx" pay u?> luuiu iui a distance of 15 miles as for shipping 500. The traffic manager, competition and the laudible services of our Railroad Commissioners have in a large measure effected this revolution. The answer to the above question may be found not to be a local one but applicable to other places besides Irmo. There must be a great barrier in the way somewhere and I believe the greatest obstacle is the absence .of good public roads. I do not hesitate to make the assertion that tine, well kept public highways aid as much in proportion to their cost and maintenance in the develop merit of a section of a country as railrogUs do in that line. Take for the country around j mRRniinventions." *Phat Turkish government ought to be blotted from I the face of the earth, and It will be. i Of many of the inhabitants of Pales! tine I asked the question, "Has the sultan of Turkey ever been here T Answer, "No." "Why don't he come, when it belongs to his dominion?" And, after the man interrogated looked tills way and that, so as to know he ; would not be reported, the answer I would Invariably be, "He dare not j come." I believed it. If the sultan of ! Turkey attempted to visit Jerusalem | he would never get back again. All | Palestine hates him. I saw him go to ] the mosque for prayers in liis own city j of Constantinople, and saw seven tliouj sand armed men riding out to protect i Mm. Expensive prayers! Of course ; tliat government wants no better liar } bor at Joppa. May God remove that : corse of nations, tliat old hag of the I centuries, the Turkish government! I For its everlasting insult to God and j woman let it perish! And so those | rocks at the harbor remain the jaws of ! repeated destruction. THK RSI) OF THE VOYAGE. As we descended the narrow steps | at the side of the ship we heard the ! clamor and quarrel and swearing of j fifteen or sixteen different races of men j of all features, mid all colors and all j vernaculars; all different in appearance, I but all alike in desire to get our bagj gage and ourselves at exorbitant prices, j Twenty boats and only ten passengers | to go ashore. The ihan having charge J of us pushes aside some, and strikes j with a heavy stick others, and by vioj lences that would not be tolerated in I\J\AL WUJiU^ j Ik/UV TV liiVAA OVVUA wv w VJUV only manner of making any Impression j there, clears our way into one of the i boats, which heads for the shore. We j are witliin fifteen minutes of the Christ i land. Now we hear shouting from the I beach, and in five minutes we will be | landed. The prow of the boat is I caught by men who wade out to help I us in. We are tremulous with suppressed | excitement, our breath is quick, and ! from the side of the boat we spring to i the shore, and Sunday morning, Dec. j 1, 1889, about 8 o'clock, our feet touch j Palestine. Forever t-o me and mine ! will that day and hour be cominemo| rated for that pre-eminent mercy. Let j it be mentioned in prayer by my ehilj dren and children's children after we are gone, in at morning wo were permitted to enter that land and gaze upon those holy hills and feel the emotions that rise and fall and weep and | laugh and sing and triumph at such a I disembarkation. V7B&' OF JOPPA. Oil the back of hills one hundred and fifty feet high Joppa is lifted toward the skies. It is as picturesque lis j it Is quaint, and as much unlike any j city we have ever eon, as though it i were built in that star Mars, where n few nights ago this very September I astronomers, through unparalleled telI escopcs, saw a snow storm raging. ' How glad wo were to be in Joppa! j Why, this is the city where Dorcas, j that queen of tlie needle, lived and 1 died and was resurrected.

But reference to Peter reminds in< j that wo must go to the housetop ii j Joppa where he was taught the de | mocracy of religion. That was abou' j (lie queerest thing that ever happened. ' nt/ | v.'n our way up uj uiat uuusciup vr* passed an old well where the greai i stones were worn deep with the ropei I of the buckets, and It most be a wel ; many centuries old, and I tliink Pete] ; drank out of it. Four or five goat oi ; calfskins filled with water lay aboui j the yard. * Wo soon got up the step : and on the housetop. It was In sucl j a place in Joppa that Peter one. nooi [ while he was waiting for dinner had ? I hungry fit and fainted away, and hax i a vision or dream or trance. I said t< | my family and friends on that house | top, "Listen while I read about wha ; happened here." And opening th< ! Bible we had the whole story. | It seems that Peter on the houseto] I dreamed that a great blanket was le j down out of heaven, and in it wen j sheep and goats and cattle and mule ! mid pigeons and buzzards and snake i and all mannei of creatures that fiy th< ' iiir, or walk the field, or crawl the earth i and In the dream a voice told him a ho was hungry to oat, and he said, " cannot eat things unclean." Thro times he dreamed it. There was thei heard a knocking at the gate of th< house on the top of which Peter lay ii a tr;inee, and throe men asked, ''I Peter here?" Peter, while yet wonder ing what his dream meant, descend tiie stairs mid meets these strangers a the gate, and they toll him that a gooi ; man by the name of Cornelius, in tin city of Ctesarea, lias also had a drean and has sent them for Peter and to as! him to come and preach. At that eal Peter left Joppa for C<esarea. Th dream ho luul just hud prepared him t< preach, for Peter learned by It to re ; ject 110 people as unclean, mid wherea ho previously thought ho must proael j only to the Jews, now lie goes to proael i to the Gentiles, w ho were considered j unclean.

There is no disease more disagreeable and uncomfortable than catarrh. It attacks the young and the old, and it is too often allowed to take its course. In such cases it frequently becomes dangerous. The poison extends to the throat and lungs, resulting in complications that are not readily overcome. All forms of catarrh however, disappear before S. S. S. and that medicine is now recognizee as an almost infalible remedy for tk< disease. - It regulates the liver, im proves cthe> digestion, and bring! about conditions that enable th< system to throw off the maladj Catarrh and its attended aggravfi tions disappear before S.
