:BOUND FOR RUSSIA. TALMAQE 18 ON THE BROAD ATLANTIC. I* Ulotatos a Hmruxou vu Ihm T*st. "ffmr | rime of My O*pnirturc !? at Uand".. SlftntOeance of th? Word "Departure." Brooklyn, Jane 19?Rev. Dr. Tal mage Is now /on the Atlantic, having sailed from N*r York on the 15th inst. for LlverponAor a preaching tour In ffi^anjjpgBotland. Ireland and Sweden. ^>jftftTrvislting Sweden Dr. Taltnago 1 go to UuBsla, there to witness the reception and disposition of the cargo of breadstuff* on board The Christian Bearld relief steamship Leo, which sailed last week for St. Petersburg. Previous to his departure be dictated to hie stenographer the following farewell ser mon, to be read by the vast and widely scattered audiences whom It is bis week* 1 y privilege to address through the mo dium of the newspaper press. Ho took his text Irom II Timothy iv, 0, "The time of my depa ' >re is at band." Doparture! J ~<*t is a ?vord used only twice In all the Bible. But it is a word often used in the courtroom, and means the desertion of one course of pleading for another. It is used in navigation to describe the distance between two meridians passing through the extremi ties of a course. It is a word I have re cently heard applied to my departure from America to Europe lor a preaching tour to last until September. In a smaller and less significant sense than that implied in the text, I can say. ''The time of my departure is at hand." Through the printing press 1 address ._this geraaepr^e-my readers all the world over, and when they read it I will be in midocean, and unless something new happens in my marine experiences I will be in no condition to preach. But how unimportant the word doparture when applied to exchange of continents as when applied to exchange of worlds as when Paul wrote, "The time of my departure Is at bund." Now departure implies a starting place and a place ot destination. When Paul left this world, what wastho start ing point? It was a scone of great I physical distress. It was tiieTulllanum, the lower dungeon of the Mamertiae prison, Rome, Italy. The top dungeon was bad enough, it having no means of I ingress or egress, but through an open lng In the top. Through that the pri-1 soner was lowered,- add through that come all tho food 'and air and light re w colved. It was a terriblo place, that ] ^ upper dungeon, bid- tho Tallinn um was the lower dungeon, and that was still more wretched, the only light and the only air coming through tho roof, and that roof the floor oi the upper dungeon. That was Paul's last earthly residenco. ' I was in that lower dungoon in No-1 yeuiber, 1889. It Is tiado of volcanic stone. I measured It, and from wall to wall it was fifteen feet. The highest roof was seven feet from the floor, and tho lowest roof live feet seven inches. The opening In the roof tlirough which Paul was let down was three feet wide. Tho dungeon has a scat of rock two and a half feot high and a shelf of rock four fect high. It was there that Paul spent bis lost day on earth, and it is thore that f I soe him now, in the foarful dungeon, shivering, bluo with cold, watlng for that old overcoat which he had sent for un to Trom, and which the had not yot ^sentdown, notwithstanding he ,had writ ten for it. ] If somo Bkilllul surgeon should go into That dungeon were Paul is incarcerated, we might find out what are the pros nr.rds of .Jia^Ps lv,''/*^ throu.ah thorough, imprisonment. In the, first place ho is au old man, only two years short ot scvonty. At that very time when ho mostneeds 'ho warmth, and the sunlight, ami the frofh air, ho is shut out from the sun. What arc those scars on his ankles? Why, thoso woro gotten when ho was fast, his feet in tho Stocka. Every time ho turned, the flesh on his ankles started. What are those scars on his back? Ycu know he was whip ped five times, getting thirty-niao strokes ? one hundred and ninety-five bruises on the back (count them) made by tho Jews j wl*' -^d8 of olm wood, each one of tho ""??ed and ninety-tlvo strokes 'ood. faco and look at his "et those bruises? -vas struggling ?hem ot the \'s side. jk he got men, for j ubers, and he . IIo was a me chanic as wui. .u apostle, and I think the touts he made were as good as his sermons. There is a wanness' about Paul's looks. What makes that? I think a part of that came from tho tact than he was for twenty four houis on a plank in the Mediterranean sea, suflcring terribly, before he was > cscucd, for he says posi tively, "I was a night and a day in the deep." Oh, worn out, emaciated old man! surely you must be melancholy; no constitution could endure this and be ehe er Uil. But IjYiVcbs my way through the prison until I come up close to where he is, and by the faint light that streams through the opening I see on his face a supernatural joy, and I bow before him, and I say, "Aged man, how can you keep cheerful tr .id all this gloom?" His ?AfAft Btarilos the darkness ot the placo ut, "I am now ready to be t tho time of my departure is Hark! What is that shuttling ot feet in he upper dungeon? Why, Paul has on tvltation to a banquet, and he is going > dine today with the king. Those luflling feet are tho feet of the execu )uors. They come and they cry down rough the hole of tho dungeon; "J fur up, old mao. Como, now; get your ready." Why, Paul was ready, had nothing to pack up. He had no fage* to take. Ho bad been ready a ! while. I see him rising up, and ghtening out his stiffened limbs, and tng back his white hair from his ee.d forehead, and see him looking rough the hole in the roof of the ?on into the faco of Iiis execution nd hear him say, "I am now ready 0 no offered, and the time of my de parture is at hand." Then they hfthim out of the dungeon, and they start with him to the place of | execution; They say: "Hurry along, old man, or you will feol tho weight of our spear. Hurry aloDg." "How far is it," says Paul, "we have to travel?" "Three miles." Three miles is a good way tor an old man to travel after ho has been whipped and crippled with maltreatmeut. But they soon get to the place of execution?Acquro Salvla? and he is fastened to the pillar ot mar tyrdom. It does not take any strength toj tie him fast. He makes no resist ance. O Paul! why not now strike for your life? You have a great many friends hero. With that withered haud just | launch the thunderbolt of the people upon those infamous soldiers. No! Paul was not going to interfere with his own coronation. He was too glad to go. 1 tee him looking up In the face of his executioner, and,as the grim official draws the sword, Paul calmly says, "I am, now ready to bo ofteredi and tho I t ime of ray departure is at hand." But | I put my hand over my eyes. I want not to sco that last struggle. One sharp, keen stroke, and Pan! does go to the banquet, and Paul does dine with 1 the king. What a transition It was! From the malaria ot Homo to the finest climate in all tbe universe?tbe zone of eternal beauty and health. Iiis ashes were pet iu Uie catacombs of Rome, but In one moment tho air of heaven bathed from hie soul tbe last ache. From shipwreck, from dungeon, from the biting pain of the elmwood rods, from the sharp sword of the headsman, he goes Into the most brilliant assemblage of heaven, a king among kings, multitudes of the saint hood rushing out and stretching forth hands of welcome, lor I do really think that as on ih right hand of' God is (?briet, so on tue right hand of Christ Is Paul, the second great in heaven. lie changed kings likewise. Before the hour of death, and up to the last moment, be was under Nero, the thick necked, the cruel eyed, the tiltby lipped, the sculptured features of. that maa bringing down to us to this very day tbe horrible possibilities of his nature ? seated as he was amid pictured marbles of Egypt, under a roof adorned with mother-of-pearl, in a dining room which, by machinery, was kept whirling day and night with most bewitching niagnili cence, bis horses standing iu stall?? of solid gold, and the grounds around his palace lighted at night by its victims, who had been bedaubed with tar ana pitch and then set on tire to illumine tho darkness. That was Paul's kiug. But the next moment.he goes into the realm of him whose reign is love, and whose courts are paved with love, and whose throne is set on pillars or love, and whose scepter is adorned with jewels of love, and whoso palace is lighted with love, and whose lifetime is an eternity of love. When Paul was leaving so much on this side the pillar of martyrdom to gain so much on the other side, do you wonder at the cheerful valedictory of the text, "The time of my departure is at hand?" Now, why cannot all the old peoplo have the same holy glee as that aged man had? Charles I, when he was combing his bead, found a gray hair, and he sent it to the queen as a great joke, but old age is really no joke at all. For the last forty years you have been dread ing that which ought to have been an exhilaration. You say you most fear the struggle at the moment the soul and body part. But millions have endured that moment, and may not we as well? They got through with it and so can wo. Besides this, all medical men agiee in saying that there is probably no strug gle at the last moment?not so mnch pain as the prick of a pin, the seeming signs of distress being altogether invol untary. But vou say, "it is the uncer tainty of the future." Now, child of God, do not play the InQdol. After God has filled the Bible till it can hold no more with stories ot the good things ahead, hotter not talk about uncertain ties. But you say, "I cannot bear to think ot parting from Irlends here." If you are old, you havo more friends in heaven than hero, Just take the census. Take I aome lame sheet of paper and begin to j record tho names of those who bavo I emigrated to the other shore; the com Eanious of your school days, your early uaincss associates, the friends of mld | life and those who more recently went ' away. Can it be. that they have been gono so long you do not care any more about them, and you do not want their society? Oh, no. There have been days when you have felt that you could uot enduro another moment away from j their blessed companionship. Thoy have gono. You say you would not like to bring them back to this world of [ troublo, oven if you bad the power. It would not do to trust you. God would I not glvo you resurrection power. ?IMosVimoErWRaosateg- would be tattling at the gates of the cemetery, crying to the departed: 4 "Come back to the cradlo whore you sldptl Come back to tho hall where you used to playl Come back to the table where you used to sit!" And there would be a great burglary in heaven. No, ao. God will not trust you with resurrection power, but bo compromises tho matter and says, "You caunot bring them where y?-u are, but you can go where tuey arc." Thoy are more lovely now than ever. Were Ibey beautiful here, they are more beautiful there. Besides that, it is moro healthy there for you than here, aged man; better cli mate here than these hot summers and cold winters and late springs; better hcnrins; better eyesight; more tonic in the air; more perfume in the bloom; moro sweetness in the toug. Do you not feel, aged man, sometimes as though you would like to got your arm and foot free? Do you not feel as though you would like to throw away spectacles and canes and crutches? Would you uot liko to feel the spring and elasticity and mirth of an eternal boyhood? When the point at which you start from this world is old age. aud the point to which you go is eternal juvenescence, aged man, clap your bands at the anticipation, and say, in perfect rapture of soul, "The time of my departure is at hand." I remark again, all those ought to feel this joy of the text who have a holy curiosity to know what is beyond this earthly terminus. And who has not any curiosity about it? Paul, I suppose, ha l the most satisfactory view of heav en, and he says, "It doth not yet appear what wo shall be." It is like looking through a broken telescope. "Now we see through a glass darkly." Can you tell me any thing about that heavenly place? You ask me a thousand questions about it that I cannot answer. I ask you a thousand questions about It that you cannot answer. And do you wonder that Paul wassoglad when martyrdom Save him a chance to go over and make Iscoveries in that blessed country ? I hope some day, by tbe grace of God, to go ever and see for myself; but not now. No well man, no prospered man, I think, wants to go now. But the time will come, I think, when I shall go over. I want to see what they do there, and I want to see how they do it. I do not want to be looking through the gates ajar forever. I want them to swing wide open. There are ten thous and things i want explained?about you, about myself, about the govern ment of this world, about God, about everything. We start in a plain path of what we know, and in a minute come up against a high wall of what we do not know. I wonder how It looks over there. Somebody tells me It Is like a paved city -paved with gold; and another man tells me It Is like a fountain, and It is like a tree, and It is liko a triumph al procession; and the next man I meet telis me It is all figurative. I really want to know, after the body Is resur rected, what they wear and what they eat, and I have an immeasurable curi osity to know what it is, and how it is, and where it is. Columbus risked his life to find this continent, and shall we shudder to go out on a voyage of discovery which shall reveal a vaster and more brilliant country? John Franklin risked his life to find a pasrage between Icebergs, and shall we dread to find a passage to eternal summer? Men In Switzerland travel up the heights of the Matterhorn with alpenstock Hud guides and rockets and ropes and. getting half way up, stumble and fall down In a horrible massacre. They just wanted to say they had been on the tops of those high peaks. And shall we fear to go out for the ascent of tbe eternal hills which start a thousand miles beyond where stop the highest peaks of the Alps, when In that ascent there Is no peril? A man doomed to die stepped on the scaffold aud said in joy, "Now, in ten minutes I will know the great secret." One minute after the vitat funotion ceased toe Utile child that died last night knew more than Jonathan Ed wards, or 8t. Paul blroselr, before he died. Friends, the exit from this world, or death, If you please to call It, to the Christian Is glorleus explanation. It Is demonstration. It is illumination. It to sunburst. It is the opening of all the v'ndowa. It Is shutting up the catechism of doubt and the unrolling of all the scrolls of positive and accur ate information. Instead of standing at tbe foot of the ladder and looking up, it la standing at the top of the lad der and looking down. It Is the last mystery taken out of botany and geolo gy and astronomy and theology. Ob, will It not be grand to have all questions answered ? The perpetually recurring interrogation point changed for tho mark of exclamation. All rid dles solved. Who will fear to go out on that discovery when all the ques tions are to be decided which we have been discussing all our lives? Who shall not clap his hands lu tbe anticipa tion ot that blessed country, if it be no better than through holy curiosity cry ing, "Tbe time of my departure is at hand?" 1 remark again we ought to have the joy of the text, because, leaving this world, we move into the beat society of the universe. You see a great crowd of people in some street, and you say: "Who is passing there? What general, what prince Is going up there? Well, I see a great throng In heaven. I say: "Who is the focus of all that admira tion? Who Is the center of that glit teriog company?" It is Jesus, the champion of all worlds, the favorite of all agts. Do yuu know what Is the tlrst ques tion the soul will ask when it comes through the gate of heaven? I think tbe tlrst question will be, "Where Is Jesus, tbe .Saviour that pardoned my sin; that carried my sorrows; that fought my battles; that won my victo ries?" O radiant onel how I would like to see thee! thou of the manger, but without its humiliations; thou of the cross, but without Its pangs; thou of the grave, but without its darkness. The Bt bio intimates that we will talk with Jesus in heaven just as a brother talks with a brother. Now what will you ask bim first? I do not know. I can think what I would ask Paul first If I saw him in heaven. I think 1 would like to hear him describe the storm that came upon the ship when there were two hundred and seventy five souls on the vessel, Paul being the only man on board cool enough to des cribe the storm. There is a facination about a ship and the sea that I never shall get over, and I think I would like to hoar him talk about that first. But when I meet my Lord Jesus Christ, of what shall I first delight to bear bim speak ? Now I think what It Is. I shall first want to hear the trag edy of his last hours, and then Lukes account of the crucifixion, and Mark's account ot the crucifixion, aud John's account of the crucifixion will be noth ing, while from the living lips of Christ the story shall be told of the gloom that fell, aud the devils that arose, and the fact that upon bis endurance depended the rescue of a race, and there was darkness In the sky, and there was darkness in the soul, and the pain L v cauie more sharp, and the burdens be came more heavy, until the mob began to swim away from the dying vision of Christ, aud the cursing of the mob came to his ears more faintly, and his hands were fastened to the horrizoutal piece of the cross, and his feet were fast ened to the perpendicular pieee of the cross, and his bead fell forward in a swoon as he uttered the last moan and oried, "It Is finished!" All heaven will stop to listen until the story is done, and every harp will be put down, and every lip closed, and all eyes fixed upon tho tfdl vine narrator until the story Is dou^and then, at the tap of the baton, tho e&fnal orchestra will rouse up; fin ger on suing of harp, and lips to the mouth ot trumpet,there shall roll forth tho oratorio of tbe Messiah, "Worthy -to a^fajftrab that ?waa -jE~-"~f" ' "*oiw blessing aid riches undhoiftv and power, world without end!" What be endured oh, who can ten, ' To save onr souls from death and hell! When there was between Paul and that magnificent Personage only the thinness of the sharp edge of the sword of the executioner, do you wonder that he wanted to go? O my Lord Jesus, let one wave of that glory roll over us! Hark! I hear the wedding bells of heav en ring now. Tbe marriage of the Lamb has come, and the bride hath made herself ready. And now for a little while goodbye! I have no mor bid feelings about the future. But if anything should happen that we never meet again in this world, let us meet where there are no partings. Our friendships have been delightful on earth, but they will be more delightful in heaven. And now 1 commend you to God and tho word of his gra ;e. which is abio to build us up and give us an in heritance among alt them that are sanctified, Tha Oflotal Vota.

A Contaminate Sooundrel Commit* Mur der 111 <1 r.'i'ii vl Hi-. duauce W.i>.u. 'fyv\n and A. Phillips, from Glassy Mountain Township, this Cou ty. to-day brought tho particulars of a most brutal murder that occurred at Frank IIIpp's house, Saturday about 1 o'clock, and the fact that tho culprit is at largo is all that saves him from uminnry violence by an enraged people. J. W. J. Morgan married Millie, a daughter of L. W. Hipp, several years ago and all wont peaceably in the family household. Amanda Hipp, tho twenty-^ ear-old sister of Morgan's wife, spent the ere itet portion ot l,er time with them, and upou the death of Mrs. Hipp she remained with the husband to assist in caring for six orphan children. Since the wile's death, two tears ago, no one suspected that criminal relatious existed between Morguu and his sister in-!.i.v fuel the commuuity was astonished two months ago by the aunouuecment that Amanda Hipp had ^iven birth to a child aud that she credited Morgan with its fathethood. Last Saturday Morgau and th? girl went over to tho house ot Frank Hipp,* a brother ot Amanda Hipp, and met L. W. Hiop, the aged father of the girl. Old man Hipp accused Morgau of seduc iug his daughter and was met by a storm of curses. Hipp did not resent th'.s, but going to the nirl persuaded hor to leave Morgan and return to his home without him. As tho couplo walked off Morgan cuicih:, up a muzzle loading shot gun and poured Iis contents in 11 Ipp-t's back, the old man droppiu* in his tracks, Au examination showed that he had flfly three buck and duct shot in his back. A Coroner's jury was cmpauuclled and brought In a verdict of wiliul murder against Morgan. As soon as Morgan roalized the enormity of his crime lie tied to the woods and a posse of citizens has been unsuccessfully s'uirchtng for him since. Sheriff Gilrcath Is organizing a poBio to search lor the murderer and it is thought that ho will be captured an ho Is a man of hut little moans aud did not have money with which to eet away. This murder iias created a great deal of excitement. This is the fourth murder in this County within tho last few weeks.

Better Than Any Bank -the? Mutual Life Ins Ge OF NEW YOU No other investment in the world is so absolutely safe or con siderinp; the orotection, more pro fitable than a lire or endowment policy in The Mutual Lite Insur ance Company of New York, for the following reasons : ist. The contract is based upon a natural and universally operating law of mortality, backed by the good faith and continued payments of the largest number (182,013 in 1889) of carefully selected lives insured in any company on the re serve fund system. znd. The Mutual Life has the largest reserve fund of any insur ance company in the world?being now over $147,000,000. 3rd. During the torty-seven years of its business, its receipts from interest alone have paid all death claims and left a surplus therefrom of $11,315,901.69. .ith. Its interest receipts have exceeded all expenses of manage ment by the enormous sum of $55, 447,246.89. 5th.

Chicago, June 22.-/-A meeting nan held at the Democrat le^ headquarters to day by colored Democrats from all parts of thecouutrv uudes th3 auspices of a negro national Democrat to com mittee Many of those prwcui claim ed to be K??pui 'he.in . but said that the treatment of the colored race by Presi dent HaTisou did not meet their views of j ustice. They said they desired hence forth to euter the l)"inucratic fold. De fore the permanent organization was effected addresses on the tariff and President Harrison's alleged Ill-treat me id of the colored people were made by several delegates. The following: is an extract from one of the speeches ?'VVearo here to day because we be lieve the Republican party has outlived its usefulness, at least so far as it re lates to the negro, and it Is our duty to cast ubout for a safe and more sure an chorage. We believe that Grover Cleve land, when President of the United States, gave the t ?? st neseraneo possible that under Democratic rule a free American's best interests, bis liberty and happiness were fully conserved. 1 know by experience ahd personal observation that the civil, public and political rights of my race were never conserved by any executive than tnoy were by David li. Hill, when he was Governor of the great Empire Stale of New York. The political parties of the day are not the parties of the last decade. Their names are the same, but new men represent them both. The great Dem ocratic party has gained wisdom by ex perience. 11 deals with great national questions on fundamental principles. It is forgetting the past unpleasant ness, it is living and nourishing in the grand and real present. The Hepubli can party of today, which we turn away from in sorrow, stands as a sec tional party as a political necessity. It is dictatorial, overbearing, autocrat ic." The roll of delegates showed sev enteen States represented. Slioton theTralu.
