'oc e iank in our ianeracld asw al-ce ze that, and it will be a relief semi-in loite. Let us take ourselves as we are his momentl and then ask "Which vay ?" Get all the direction you can rom careful and constant study of the lible, and then look up and look out nd look arotnd, and see if you can nd the finger of God. It is a remarkable thing that some ics no one can see that finger but ourself. A year before Abraham Lin. el signed the proclamation of em-i lpation the White House was thronged vith committees and association, minis. era and laymen, advisiusg the president o make that proclamation. But he vaited and waited, amid scoll' and ana hema, because lie did n(,t himself see he finaer of God. After awhile and at ult the right time he saw the divine iointing an I signed the proclamation. ['he distinguished Confederates, Mason nd Slidell, were taken ol an English e8sel by the United States government. Don't give them up," shouted 11 the northern states. "Let us ave war with England rather than urrender them," was the almost unan nous cry of the north. But William 1. Seward saw the finger of God lead ig in just the opposite direction and le Confederates were given up, and re avoided a war with England which t tnat time would have been the dem lition of the United States govern ient. In other words, the linger of God as directs you, may be invisible to verybody else. Follow the divine ointing, as Vou see it, although the ,orld may call you a fool. There has ever been a man or a woman who mounted to anything that has not mietimes been called a fool. Nearly 1l the mistakes that you and I have itde have come from our tollowing ie pointing of some other finger, in .ead of the finger of God. llut, now, lppose all forms of disaster close in pon a man. Suppose his business col ipses. Suppose he buys goods and annot sell them. Suppose by a new ivention others can furnish the same oods at less price. Suppose a cold pring or a late autumn or the coming 1 an epidemic corners a man, and his otes come due and he cannot meet Irm, and his rent must be paid and ere is nothing with which to pay it, Lid the wages of the employees are uo and there is nothing with which to icet that obligation, and the bank will ot discount, and the business friends ) whom he goes for accommodation re in the same predicament, and he ears up and struggles on, until, after while, crash goes the whole concern. I am speaking of whole souled n.en. uch men are so broken by calamity hat they are humbled and fly to God 3r relief. Men who have no spirit id never expect anything are not iuch affected by financial changes. 'hey are as apt to go into the kingdom lider one set of circumstances as nother. They are deadbeats where ver they are. Theonly way to get rid f them is to lend them a dollar and ou will never see them again. I have ried that plan and it works well. But am speaking of the effect of misfor ine on high spirited men. Nothing ut trial will turn such men from Arth to heaven. It is only through louds and darkness and whirlwind of isaster such a man can see the fiiig(r r God. A most interesting as well as a most seful study is to watch the pointing f the finger of God. In the Seven. ,enth century South Carolina w is iolding rosin and turpentine and tar i her chief productions. But Thomas mith noticed that the ground near his ouse in Charleston was very much ke the places in Madagascar where he ad raised rice, and some of the Mada ascar rice was sown there and grew so ipidly that South Carolina was led to ake rice her chief production ? Can iu not see the .lnger of God in that in dent? Rev. John Fletcher, of England, any will know, was one of the rnost seful ministers of the Gospel who rer preached. Before conversion lie >inedl the army and had bought his cket on the ship for South America. lie morning lie was to sail some one >illed on him a kettle of water, and he us so scalded he could not go. He as very much disappointed, but the up lhe was going to sail on went out ii was never heard of again. Who mn doubt that God was arranging the Ie of John Fletcher ? Was it merely u'cidental that Richard Rlodda, a Cor ish miner, w ho was oin his knees pray ur, remained unhurt, though heavy otnes fell before him and behind him' nd on either side ot' him and anlother -lI on the top of these so as to make a )of over him ? A missionary In .Jamaica lost his way nd in the night was wandering about, 'hen a firefly flashed and revealed a recipice over which in a momient more ii would have been dashed. F. W. ~obertsoni, the great proacher of righton, England, hiailhis life wvork ecided by the barking of his do0g. A eighblor, whose daughter a til, was isturb' d by the barking of that (log no niight. i his brought the neighbor 11,o comuniication with Robertson. 'liat acqiniirtanceship kept him from ninlg the dragoons and going to in is anBd spending his life ini military -rvice, and reserved him for a pulpit Lie ulltuenice of which for Glospeliza ion will resound for all time and all ternity. Why did not Columbus sink when in arly manhood lhe was alat six miles rom the beach with notinmg to sus. din bim till he could swim to land but bioat's oar ? I wonder it' his presei va ion had anything to do with A merica. lad the storm that diverted the May ower fr om the mouth of the Hudson, or whildh it was sailing. andl sent it shore at Cape Cod, no divine suipervis I? D)oes anarchy rule this world, or ~od? St. FelPx escaped martyrdom byv rawlinug through a hole in the wail cross which the spiders immediately ~tterward wove a weis. ils persecu ors saw ihe hole ini the wall, but the pider's web p)ut themt off the track. A oy was lost by his drunken father and ~ould not for years id his way home. ~early grown he went into a -Fuiton itreet prayer meeting and asked for rayers that lie might find his parents. uls mother was In the room and rose mdt recognized her long lost son. Do you say that these things "6!nly liap ened so?" Tell that to those who d1o iot believe in a God and have no faith n the Bible. Do not tell it to me. I sal-i to an aged minister of nmuch 'xperience: "All the events of my life oem to have been divinely connected. [)o you1 suppose it is so in all lives ?" rie answered, "Yes, but most peopli do not notice the divine leadings." I standh ere this morning to a-y froii my own experience that the safesi thing in all the world to do is to trusl the Lord. I never bad a misfortune or a persecution, or a trial, or a disap poitment, however excruciating at thi time, that God did not make turn ot for my good. My one wish isto follo, the divine leading. I want to watct the finger of God. Nations also would do well to watet for the linger of God. What does tht cholera scare in America mean? Somt say it means that. the plague will sweel our land next summer. I do not be lieve a word of it. There will be n: cholera here next summer. Four o live summers ago there were those wh said it would surely be here the follow ing summer because it was on the way But it did not come. The sanitary pre oautions established here will makE next summer unusually healthful Cholera never starts from where i stopped the season before, but alwayv starts in the filth of Asia, ai&d if it starts next summer, it will start 'hert again-it will not start from New York quarantine. But it is evident tc me that the finger of God is in thiH cholera scare, and that he is Dointing this nation to something higher and better. It has been demonstrated at never liefore that we are in the hands of God. Ile allowed the plague to come to our very gates and then halted it. The quarantine was right and neces sary, but, oh, how easily the plague aould have leaped the barriers lifted against it! Thanks to the president of the United States, and thanks to the health oflicers, and thanks to the Thir teenth regiment, and thanks to all who stood between this evil and our nation al health, but more than all, and higher than all, thanks to God! Out of that -oleiniy we ought to pass up to some thing better than anything that ha4 ever yet characterized us as a nation We ought to quit our national sins, ,ur Sabbath breaking, and our drunk :nness, and our impurities, and our ,orruptions of all sorts as a people. rho tendency is in self gratulation at -ur prosperity to forget the mercy of L;od that has kept us from being blot Led out for our crimes, and that still inultiplies our temporal prosperitieta. Vorward and upward! See you not the [inger of God in this protecting mercy? I rejoice that there are many encour iging signs for our nation, and one is that this presidental campaign has less malignity and abuse than any presiden Lial campaign since we have been a na Lion. Turn over to the pictorials and the columns of the political sheets of the presidential excitements all the way back, and see what contumely Washington and Jeiferson and Madison and Menroe and Jackson went through. Now see the almost entire absence ol all that. The political orators I notice this year are apt to begin by eulogizing the honesty and good intentions of tht opposing candidate, and say that he i. better than his party. Instead ef vit riol, camomile flowers. That we seei to have escaped t lie degradation of th usual quadrennial billingsgate is an en. couraging fact. If we love the Lord and trust him and you may all love him and trust him from this moinent on-we no morc understand the good things ahead of is than the child at school studying A B C can understand what that has to lo with his reading John Ruskin' 'Seven Lamps of Architecture," or Dante's "Davina Commedia." The satisfactions and joys we have as yet had are like the music a boy makes with his firSt lesson on the violin coin pared with what was evoked from hig Zreat orchestra by my dear and illus trious and trancendcut but now deport Bd friend, Patrick Gilmore, when lie lifted his baton and all the strings vi irated, and all the trumpets pealed forth, and all the fluteos caroled, and al] the drums rolled, anel all the h>ots of he cavalry charge, which ho imitated were in full beat. Look ahead! The inger of God po0in1s forward. "Oh, but," says piome one, "I am get Ling old, and 1 have a touen of rhien natism in that foot, and 1 bieliev( omething is the mat.ter with my heart, anid I cannot stand as much asI used to." WYell, I congratulate you for that shows you are getting nearem o the time when you are going to en ter immortal youth and be strong 3nough to hurl off the battlements 01 heaven any bandit who t)y unheard oi Lurglary might break into the Golden 31ty. "But," says some one, "I feel s( onely. '1The most of my friends arn ~one, and the bereavements of life Luave multiplied until this world that was once so bright to mie has lost itb -hiarmi." Icongratulate you, for when you gr< there will be fewer here to hold you hack and more there to pull you in Look ahead! The~ linger of God it pointing loriward. We sit here ir church, and by hymn and prayer anil ermon and Christian association wv try to get into a f rame of mind thai ~vill b)e acceptab)le to God and pleausat to outrselves. But what a stupid t hint it all is compared with what it, will bi when we have gone beyond psalmubooli and sermon anid Bible, and we stand our last imnperfection trone, in the pres ece of that charm of t he univers--thi >lessed Christ-and have him look ir; our lace and say: "I1 have be-eun watch ing you andi sympathizing with yot md( helping you all these years, ant now you are here. Go where you please and never know a sorrow and neve: shed a tear. Trhere is your mother nov -she is coming to greet you-an there is your father, and there are you children. Sit down undler this tree o life, and on the banks or this river tall It all over." I tell you there will be more joy is one minute of that than In fifty year; of earthly exultation. Look ahead Look at the finest hoee on earthI, am know that you will have a liner one Is heaven. Look up the healthiest per son you caun find, and kno w you wil yet be healthier. Look up the one whi has the bent e'yesight of any one 30o ever heard of, and know you will havy better vision. Listen to the .sweetes prima dona that ever trod the platform and know that In heaven you will li; a more enrapturing song than ever en chanted earthly auditorium. My friends, I do not know how wi are going to stand it-I mean the fuli Inrush of that splendor. Last sum me I saw Moscow, In some respects th: mnost splendid city tunder the sun. Tb emperor afterwards asked me If I hai seen it, for Moscow is the pride of RLu ala. I told him yes, and that 1 ha seen Moscow burn. I will tell yo What I meant. After examining nlm: s hundred brass cannons which were [ picked out of the snow after Napoleon retreated from Moscow, each cannon deep cut with the letter "N," I ascend ed a tower of sone two hundred and ,' lifty feet just before sunset, and on each platform there were bells, large and smaill, and I climbed up among the bells, and then as I reached the top all the bells underneath ine began to ring, and they were joined by the bells of fourteen hundrt d towers and domes and turrets. Some of the bells sent out a faint tinkle of sound, a sweet tintinnabula tion that seemed to bubble in the air, - and others thundered torth boom atter boorm, boom after boom, until it seem ed to shake the earth anti fill the heav ens-sounds so weird, so sweet, so aw ful, so grand, so charming, so tremen dous, so soft., so rippling, so reverbe rating-and they seemied to wreathe and whirl and rise and sink and btirst and roll and mount and die. When Napoleon saw Moscow burn,. it could ntt have been more brIlliant than when I saw all the fourteen hundred turrets aflame with the sunset, roofs of gold an walls of malachite, and architect. ure of all colors mingling the brow n of antumnal forests, and the blue of summer heavens, and the conflagration of morning skies,-and the green of rich meadows, and the foam of to.;ng seas. The mingling of so many colors with so many sounds was an entrancemenr almost too much for human nerves, to human eyes, or human ears. I expect to see nothing to equal it until you >md I see heaven. But that will surpass it and make the mehory or what I saw that July eveniog in Moscow almost teme and insipid. All heaven aglow and all heaven a-ring not in the sun set, but in sunrise. Vocices of our own kindred mingling with the doxologes of empires. Organs of eternal worship responding to the trumpets that have wakened the dead. Nations in white. Centurie? In coronation. Anthems like the volce of many waters. Circle of martyrs. Circles of apostles. Circle of prophe*.s. Thrones of cherubim. Thrones of seraphim. Throne of arch angel. Throne of Christ. Throne of God. Thiones! Thrones! Thrones! 1'he finger of God points that way. Stop not until you reach that place. Through the atoning Christ all Ispeak of ani more may t,e yours and mine. Do you not now hear the chime of the bell. of that metropolis of the universe ? Do yon not see the shimmering of the towers? Good morning. Betting on the Ele-ction. NEW YoRK, Oct. 20.--About this time four years ago betting on the Presidential cont(st was very brihk. The odds at first were slightly in favor of Clevelanij. Ti,hen Harrison became the favorite at $100 to 690. Afttrward Cleveland's stock went, up. It wai at this point of the betting that Col. 11. L. Swords, sergeant. at-arms of the 1.1c. publican national comnittee, walked into the Hoffman one evening with his pockets stuffed with $1,000. bills and certiiied checks, and bet the Cleveland men to a standstill. Col. Swords represented himiself and a Republican syndicate. Before the Colonel left the IIoffman House that evening he had wagered at least S50,. 000. Within the next few days lie put up $75,000 more on I larrison's election. It was announced that Col. Swords in tended to repeat his 188 visit to the IIoffiman House last ever-ing and tin load a big pile of money (.n 11arrison's re-election. Up to I1 P. M. Col. Swords had not arrived, and it was said at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that lie would pro bably not be in search of Cleveland money for at least a week. One of his friends remarked that the Colonel was organizing his syndicate and would shortly have enough boodle to drive the Democrats out of the Iloffman llouse. Billy Edwards said last evening that the betting on the result continued to be very slow.- "It Is still even uip," he said.- Pref. Ed wards announced that. he had been commissioned to bet $2, 000 to $1,500 that Clevoland would car ry the State ofNewv York' "I am ready to make that wager at any time," he continuedi. "A fewv days ago the odds were ten to eight in favor of Cleveland carrying this State. Now the odds are ton to seven and a half.~ 1 have $1,000 that I will bet against $800 .that Cleveland will carry Indliania." selma Indigniat.

CUTTING OUT WORK. SOME MEASURES THAT ARE LIKELY TO COME UP In the Leitature at the Approaching Session-A Maine Liquor Law and County Court Anong the Number-Tilimaa Ia Demand. CoLUMIA, S. C., Oct. 23. There are several vitally important inutters to the interests of the State that are to come before the coming sestion of the State Legislature, and are now exciting widespread discussion among the political leaders. There are somc tour or five measures that especi ally engage the attention of the leaders just uow. First comes the county government bill abolishingithe office of county com imi.isioners, allowing each district to elect district overseers, they with one other to be appointed at the county seAL to constitute a county government hav ing control of the county finances and government, the idea being, from an Administration standpoint, to de-,entra. lize the county governments. But the 1acts in regard to this bill which excied such widespread interest at the last ses sion r re already known. This bill is to come up agaila this session. Senator elect John Gray Evans, the farther of the measure, was in the city to-day. lie says the bill as it will be presented will have a good number of amend. ments, none of them, however, atrect ing any of the vital portions of the orig inal bill. IIe seems assured that it will go through this year without much of a coniest. Perhaps the biggest light of all is gaing to be the prohil)ition war. I was talk ing to several leading politicians to-day and they say the tight is going to start in the House, where it will go throuAh all right, and the great battle will be in ,he Senate, as last year. They all say that the bill, as it will first appear, will be an extreme one, but will very like. ly be toned down to quite a conserva tive one. As to whether it will get through and become a law or not they one and all fail to make any prediction. llepresentat,ive Blease, of Newperry County is going to lead the fight In the Itouse. lie was a big lighter on the other sido two years ago. The dissen sion in tue ranks of the Problbitionists is looked upon with hope by many. Another matter which may reach the Legislature, which is closely allied to the county government bill, while it Is not ex9ctly new, is again being revived. It is,the idea of the county Judges. The idea seems to be that such a schemne will do away with much ex pense b, keeping the jails cleared and leaving only the heavy cases for the Circuit. Courts. It will hardly come teforc the Legisiature in one general bill, but by cotilly bills, as in the case *I (irfeeiville, which county hais sound ed the keynote. (len Farley ;will re.juvente his bill about. the insurance and navai nilitia leatures oftthe State militia service, it is likely to go through this year with soic slight changes. Gen Farley has been durig the )ast year making ex periments with one company and will go before the Legislature with good Ke suilts achieved. But the matter tha concerns this Legislature more than all otliers just now is the refunding of the State debt. It is understood that the hldders of the reconstruction bonds will make another effort to have them paid( by thie State. In this connection the matter of estabilishing the new sinking fund out of the p)hosphat,e royalty sur plus1 will. of course, come to the front. it' the Legislature makes an appropria tion for Clemson College, as it, has to (d0 in order f'or work to go on, and t,he railroad suits now pendmng go against t'ic State, there is likely to be a serious dleficit, ini treasury. In ot,her words, If these cases are decided adversely to the State Clemson College cannot get an approriation this year. Governor Tillman seemns to be soma what in dfemand as a national camp)aign speaker. It will be remembered that, b)efojre he went Nort,h he received an urgent reqjuest, from the North Carolina State committee, backed by a request f romi Nationa: Chairman Harrity, to go to North Carolina and make some speeches. lie says that while he was ini New York lie met Mr. Hiarrity. Dick.. inisoni and otber leaders, and whi!e with themn the State chairman of Tennessee invited hi n to go t.o that State and help themi out, but it, was impossible to do so. Since then,he has received another urgent mnvitation from North Carolina, but, owing to the pressure of State busi ness he dinds here now lie will be abso lutely uniable to go anywhere. Jlit while the Governor is needed elsewheie to help keep down the Third P'artyites, lie certainly is not needed here.
