M*.S-2a'Tase Good. Use "MAN OVERBOARD." DR. TALMAGE'S THEME SUNDAY. An Eloquent Sermon on Jonah With its Lessons for Sleepy Christians. TEXT: "So the shipmaster came to him and said unto him: 'What meanest thou, 0 sleeper? .Arise, call upon thy God, it so be that God will think uponus. that we perish not.' "-Jonah i., 6. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh on an un pleasant errand. He would not go. Hfc1 thought to get away from his duty by putting to sea. With pack under his arm I find him on his way to Joppa. a seaport. le goes down among th- shipping and sav.s to the men lying ahvund on the docks. "Which of these vesels sails to--lay?" The sailors an swer. Yonder is a ves4el going to Tarshish. I think if you hurry you may get on board her." Jonah steps on board the rough craft, asks how much the fare is. and pays it. Anchor is weighe-l. sails are hoisted, and the riggina begins to rattle in the strong breeze of the Mediterranean. Joppa is an exposed harbor, and it does not take long for the ves sel to get on t hA broad sea. The sailors like what t hev 'all a "spanking breeze," and the I plunge oi the vessel from the crest of a tall wave is exhilarating to those at home on the deep. But the strong breeze becomes a gale. the gale a hurricane. The affrighted passen gers ask the captain if he ev,'r saw anything hke this before. "Oh, yes," he says. "This is nothing." Mariners are slow to admit danger to lands -men. But after awhile crash goes the mast. and the vessel pitches so far "abeam's end" there is a fear she will not be righted. The *aptain answers few questions. and orders the throwing out of boxes and bundles and of so much of the cargo as they can get at. The captain at last confessps there is but lit tln hope and tells the passengers that they hal better go to praying. It is seldom that a sea captain is an atheist. He knows that there is a God, for he has seen Him at every noint of latitude between Sandy Hook and Qui:enstown. Captain Moody, commanding the Cuba of the Cunard line, at Runlay ser vice led the music and sang likea Methodist. The 'aptain of this Me-literranean craft, having set the passengers to praying. goes around examining the vesel at every point. 'He descendsinto the eahin to see whetherin the strong wrestling of the waves the vessel had sprung aleak, and he finds Jonah asleep. Jonah hail had a wearisome tramp and had spent many sloepless nights about (uestions of dbuty, and he is so sound asleep that all the thunder of tha storm and the screaming :of the passengers does not disturb him. The captain lays hold of him and begins to shake him out of his unconseiousnoss with the erv: "Don't ou see that we are all going to'the bottom. Wake up and go to nraying if you have any' God to go to. What mean est thou. 0 sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us that we perish not." The rest of the storyi will not rehearse. for you know it well. To appease the sea, they threw Jonah over board. Learn that the devil takes a man's money and then sets him down in a poor landing place. The Bible says he paid his fare to Tarshish. But see him get out. The sailors bring him to th" silo of the ship, lift him over the guars and let him drop with a loud splash into the waves. He paid his fare all the way to Tarshish, but (lid not get the worth of his money. NeW r does any one who turns his back onhis duty and does that which is not right. Thsre is a young man who during the past year has spent a large part of his salary in earousal. 'Whatt has he gained by it? A soiled reputation, a half starved purse, a dissipated look, a petulant temper, a dis turbel conscience. The manacles of one or two bad habits that are pressing tighter and tighter will keep on until they wear to the bone. You paid your fare to Tarshish, but you have been set down in the midst of a sea of disquietude and perplexity. One hund red dollars for Sunday horse hire. One hundred dollars for wino suppers.

Learn how soundly men wi'll sleep in the midst of danger. The worst sinner on sbip board, considering the light he hwl, w".s Jonah. He was a member of the church, while they were heathen. The sailors were engaged in their lawful calling, following the sea. The merchants on board. I sup pose, were going dIown to Tarshiish to harter, but Jonah, notwithstanding his Christian profession, was flying from duty. lHe was sound asleep in the cabin. He has been motionless for hours-his arms and feet in the same posture as when ho lay down-his breast heaving with deep respiration. Oh, how could he sleep? What if the ship struck a rock? WVhat if it sprang aleak? What if the clumsy oriental craft should cap'size? What would beconme of Jonah? So tren sleep soundly now amid perils infinite. In almost every place, I suppose, the Mediterranean might be sounded, but no line is long enoigh to fathom the r'rofound hneath every impenitent man. Plunging a thousand fathoms down, y-ou cannot touch bottom. Eternity beneath him, biefor" him, around him! Rocks close by and whirlpools and hot breathed Levianters.

Now, lest any of you should make this mistake, I addrtss you in the words of the Meditr.-ranean sea eaptain: "What mean est thou, 0, sleeper? Arise. call upon thy God. if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish no:." If you have a God, you had better call upon Him. Do you say, "I have no God?" Then you had better call upon your father's God. When your father was in trouble. whom didl ha fly to? You heard him in his old days tell about some terrible exposure in a snowstorm. or at sea, or in battle, or among midnight garroters, and how he escaped. Perhaps twenty years before you were born your fathrir made sweet acquaintance with Go.. There is something in thq wo-:n pages of the Bible he used to read which. mr.kes you think your father had a God. In' th old religious books lying around the h->use, here are passages marked with a lead pencil-passages that make you think your father was not a godless man, but that, on that dark day when he lay in the back room dying he was ready-all ready. ,But perhaps your father was a bad man-prayer-, less and a blasphemer-and you never think, of him now without a shudder. He wor shiped the world or his own appetites. Dd not then, I beg of you, call upon your fath ers God, but call on your mother's God. I think she was good. You remember when your father came home drunk late on a cold night, how patient your mother was. You often heard her pray. She used to sit by the hour meditating as though she were thinking o; some good, warm place, where it never gets cold, and where the bread does not fail, and staggering steps never come. You remember her now as she sat in cap and spectacles reading her Bible Sunday after noon. What ggd advice she used to give you! How black and terrible the hole in the ground looked to you when with two ropes they let her down to rest in the graveyard! Ah I think from your look that I am on the rght track. Awake, 0 sleeper, and call upon thy mother's God. But perhaps both your father and mother were depraved. Perhaps your cradle was rocked by sin and shame, and it Is a wonder that from such a starting you have come to respectability. Then don't call upon the God of either of your parents I beg of you. I But you have children. You know God kindled those bright eyes and rounded those healthy limbs and set beating within their breast an immortality. Perhaps in the byi hoef that somehow it would be for the b~st you have taught thorn to say an evening prayer, and when they kneel beside you an I fold theIr little hands and look up, th:-ir faces all Innocence and love, you kn->w :t a there Is a God somewhere about in the. room. I think I am on the right track at last. Awake, 0 sleeper, and call upon the Go:1 of thy children! May Ho set these little ones to. pulling at thy heart; until they charm thee to the same Gel toe whom to-night they will say their little prayers. Bit, alas, alas, some of these men and wo men are namovedl by the fact that their fther had ai Go:h, that their mother had a God, aind th'ir children havc a Godl. but they hav no Gord. All the edivine goodness for nothing. All warning for nothing. They are s;.un-l asleep in the side of the ship, though the sea and sky are in mald wrestle.

To-lay I know that many of you are sea tosseed and dlr've~n by sin in a wvorso storm than that which camne down on the coast of China, and yet I pray Godl that you may. like the sailor, live to get home. In the house of many mansions your friends are waiting to meet you. They are wondering why you d'e not come. Escaped from the shipwrecks ofI earth, may yeou at last go in! It will be a bright night--a very bright night as you pult your thumbe on tha latch of that elorr.

"I said it mine haste all men are liars," and the old Scot-h preacher too't that for his text and remarked: "Ab, David, David, if ye had lived till now ye might have sai-l it at yotr le sure. me iaon." Are we a nation of liarp? Read the papers and say! Who knows what to believe? %A hill I was in Florida ihe other dar I read from the New York Recorder atn awful accout abont Tavares being attacked by rattlesnakes and the people had to turn out with guns and rocks and thrashpoles and they killed over 400 in t e 'rects one unnday morning attd in two days had killed over a thousand and the people were terror-stricken. The article went into many det ails and told about a woman wtho put her ifant clhld in a tb while she washing in an other tub, an.t a big rattler got his head over the edge ot' the tub and she had to kill him with her battling stick. I asked a Tavares man about it and he was amaz--d. "Why," saip lhe, "it is a lie-a lie withont any founda toon. Some lying repor er made it up for a sensaion."~ And not long after I read that t re was yellow fever int Tampa and the peo ple were fiittg from the city. I was in Tampa hat very day and knew it was a lie. Of com se the paper took it all baek the inext day and -ail it was a mis'ake, but there is no telling the damage that such mistakes do. If a re porter who is running -around for news gets up a lie for a sensation ho should be turned off in stan ter. An I here is the silver question that has been the ..ul-ject of more exaggeration than will ever be f-rgmvn in the day of jndgment-more ciination and slander and suppression of the rnth, and rothing is yet settled about it. Who knows what is best? When we see such statesmen as Morgan and Vest and Harris and Datniel and hGeoree and Blackburn and Crisp and Black and McLaurin and a host of o hi rs on one a do. and as many notable men ont the other side, what right has a common nman to jrump up and swear that he knows all abut it andi that those who dlon't thtink with .inm aro fools. But I rt ekon the next election wll settle it, and I wish it was over, for the, pl)~e tire getting mighty tired of the whole bsiniss. And there is another question that comes up p'iodically and has ricently come up again. Does education lessen crime? Some philan 'bropists are getting concerned about this, and well they may. for the statistics of every state in the Untion establish the fact that education' of the kind the pupils are getting increases crime-nut a htttle, but immensely, and yet we, go oti nd otn with it and the clamor comes for more andl more. Just look over the daily pa pers and see how the reoord of crime is mn .easing-not misdemeanors, but the most aw 'n! crimes-not only away off in Ohio, but ighit here in Gcor,.:ia. But I forbear. I wrote has all up two years ago and gave the figures 'om the approved reporas of the penitentiary ,,nd the prisons and the jails and the wotrk a suses fronm M~asachnittt to Texas, and they aere all alike, so far as increase was enncerned taent we better atop and think about this .md rake e. les Ott from Prussia as to the kind ,f eduication that will diintish crime? Who) ,.ll the geo.. and virious girls marry nowa las? Where are the youtng men whlo are orthty of them? 'lhere are at least forty yoting marria-:ecable girls in this town of good fai e; who would make good wivts, but whter't a:c the young men to whom the fathers would entrust ihemi? Thete are not ten-a-e there ivt? Matriage is at a di--count-not because thts3 girn< are fast or ex' ravagant or ridle a hi evch, bitt because the young men arc generally n'o, acatnnt. or dissipattd or can't support a w fe. Some of them will spree all night lo'ig td goi to a (lance the next night with a re i ectable girl. hlow many young married women have sopa at- u from their husbands or bx:a divorcid or ubadtoned? . Ahuout that bicycic craza. as it is called. I confess that I canner see anything nrong or imodest about, it when the dress in mod' t. It alhl depends upontt that.

Paul spoke for his wn time and its customs-nlot, for ors-when saitl that long hair was the glory of woman. -was worn long, but now it is done up andt se ntr.-d with hairpins.

"He shakes his an brosial locks and gives the nod." As to women talking in church, I hope they will not make a business of it, and we cou!d say the same of some men we know. But if sh'e tal!s well and makes the world better. let her talk. She teaches our children in the pub lic schools an 11 Sabbath schools and why not in the church? The fact is, if woman was allow ed to be our lawmaker for one session she wou!d wake up the nation on the whisky Lui n-ss. wouldn't she? Then let her rn.ke prog ress in every good work. We k o; very well that it is hernntural desire to marry and be a nioter, but if there is no prospect of that, what. mutua she do? Go to the missionarv soct c y (r visit the sick. von may say. That won't buy bread nor clothing. I heard a preacher say, "Would von make amazons of tour women?' There were no Amazons, and Ama zonia has been stricken from the modern rp4, for neither the country nor the womt-n conl I be found. Humboldt'says he sFerche-d dili gently an:] found an old man over there who sa d his grandfe.ther told him he saw four en I time-tour women astride of horses and artud 3itli soe.srs, but, he says from his best inforia tion thse were a few dusky slave womn wh is&aped from thoir captors and fl- far into i he interior and built a fort to protect th' m selves, and tIere, in course of tiue, they all died. This amazon story is all a myth, but if it was not, it does not follow that our men will ever x et so low as to let the womn do the tighting. And now there is a big controversy abut tie old woman who killed her htiband. No, I wouldent hang her. It was an awful crime f< r a woman to do, but I wouldent hang ..nv woman. But look how many men have killed their wives or sweethearts in thc las! sx I mionthis. It is getting as common as suicides. What is the matter with the country and n ho w. ! protect the girls when we are gone?--B!LL Anp. in Atlanta Constitution. THE MARKETS. NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES. Cotton firm.

With a record which is a surprise and a delight to the Navy Department and to every one with a spark of pride in the achievement of American vessels, the triple screw com merce destroyer Columbia poked her shapely white prow over the New York har bor bar at 8.59 o'clock. a. m., and at 10.35 o'clock was off Quarantine. Captain Sum ner and Chief Engineer Harris had brought the cruiser from the Needles, off Southamp ton, to Sandy Hook Lightship in six days, twenty-three hours and forty-nine minutes, covering 3112 knots at an average speed of 18.53 knots an hour. and placing to hereredit the best long distance run ever made by a warship. No other war vessel afloat has ever been subjected to such a severe test of strength, speed and endurance. The distance covered was 3109 miles. The feat of the Columbia is not far behind the best records of Atlantic passenger ships, which are built for speed and speed princi paily. and which are handled in a way tc mako the fastest time possible. It must be remembered that the warship made the voyage under natural draught, whereas in passenger ships there is always more or less of a forced draught. It is said by some that had the Columbia come under forced draught she would have considerably lowered the record of the marine ocean grey hounds. She was built especially for speed- in fact, to be a commerce destroyer-and her cap tain and officers said that she had realized every expectation a.nd ha-l proved herself to be easily the fastest warship in the world. Her daily runs were as follows: First day, 405 miles; se.-ondl. 400: third, 462; fourth, 450; fifth, 455; sixth. 453, and seventh, 405. RUIN WROUCHT BY THE STORM.

Now He Can Iu= and Jump "Equal to a Sixteen-year-old Boy"-The Effect of Six Boxes of Fink P1l. Prom Oe Messeager, Wilmington, K. 0. The following letter from George Rusell, a Otlzen of Laurinburg, N. C., will prove of interest to many of our readers who may be suffering from that dreaded disease-rheml matism. IAusmrnsu, N. C., April 3, 1895. Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schen. ectady, N. Y. Gentleme:-During the summer of 1888 , had a severe attack of typhoid fever which. left my constitution'in a wrecked and broken down condition. Ever afterwards I had to be very careful not to get the least damp for if I did an attack of rheumatism woild be the result. I was able, however, to attend to business the most of my time though I could never say that I was well. I continued this way till the summer of 1894 when I wagl taken with a more severe attack of rheuma tism which commenced first in the back of' my head and neck, then my shoulders be came involved. I suffered untold agonies, could not rest day or night, could get in no position that would give me rest even for a few moments, could not sleep more than I5 minutes at any one time, had no appetite, my flesh was reduced till I weighed only 121 lbs. The disease moved down or rather spread to the small of the back and into both hips, then to the left knee joint. I could not walk up the door steps. but had to crawl out and into the house. About this time I was taken witht a shortness of breath which one doctor pro nounced heart dropsy, another an excess of: water in the chest. I gave up all hopes of. 1ver getting any better or even living for more than r few months. I wrote many of: my relations that I did not expect to live but a very sliort time. Of course I had been under the care of men who called themselves good doctors all this time; I had six of them to at tend me during my sickness. I tried every thing that I could get that was said to benefit people who had rheumatism, but instead of getting reliof I continued to grow worse. One day a friend came to visit me, and like all other friends. had a rengedy for my ills. Her remedy was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She showed me a paper which praised them very highly. I told her that I had no faith in them, and as for the article' in the paper, it was nothing- but mere bosh. But like a drowning man that will. catch at a straw I concluded to try the pills,, I commenced to get better from the first day.. I took six boxes and am well, my appetite is; good, I sleep well, have gained in flesh from: 121 lbs. to 160 lbs. I have been in the rain. till I was literally drenched without ex periencing any annoyance afterwards. E can run, jump. hop and skip equal to a six teen-year-old boy. Any one doubting this statement can be satisfied by writing me. Yours truly.
