It is impossible to get in Knropo now oven us high as six pence a unit; the prices vary from live peuco to five peco and threo-qnartor pence. At these prices, after paying royulty, and with the most favorable rates of freight, the mining companies are unable to nut more than 32 per ton for their rock. This does not euablo them to live.

THE PRODIGAL SON.; Dli. TALM AGE'S SUNDAY THEMB. ? lie Draws Some Lessons From the . Beautiful Parable. Tsxt: "Pat a ring on his hand."?Luke xv., '12. I will uot rehearse the familiar storv ol the fast young man of the parable. You know what a splendid home be left. You know what a hard time he had. And you remember how. after that season of vagabondage and prodigality, he resolved to go and weep out his sorrows on the bosom of parental forgiveness. Well, there is great exoitomeut one day in front of the door of the old farmhouse. The servants come rushing up and sav: "What's the matter? What is the matter?" But before they quite arrive the old man cries out. "Put a ring on his hand."' What a seeming absurdity! What can such wretched mendicant as this fellow that Is tramping on toward tho houso want with a ring? Oh. he is tho prodigal sou. No more tending of the swine trough! No more longing for tho pods o* the earob tree! No more blistorod feet! Off with the rags! On with the robe! Out with the ring! Even so does God receive every one of us when we come hftC'k. Thl?ri? firi? pnltl rintra nvwl nnnrl fintvg ? I ' *UWI and emerald rings. and iliarnond rings, but the richest ring that ever flushed on thu vision is that which our Father puts upon a forgiven sou'. I know that tho impression is abroad among some people that religion bemea-'S and belittles a man; that it takes nil tbo , sparkle out of his soul; that ho has to exchange a roistering independence for an ecclesiastical straitjacket. Not so. When a man becomes a Christian, be does not go down. He starts upward. Religion multiplies one by ten thousand. Nay, the multiplier is in infinity. It is not a blotting out. It is n polishing; it is an arborescenco; it is an efflorescence; it is an irradiation. When a man comes into the kingdom of God. he is pot sent into a menial service, but the Lor.i God Almighty from the palaces of heaven i calls upon the messenger angels that wait upon the throne to fly and "put a ring on his hand." In Christ arc the largest liberty, and i brightest joy. nnd highest iionor. and richest adornment. "Put a ring on his hand." I remark, in the first place, that when Christ receives a soul into His Jove He pats upon him the ring of adoption. While in my church in Philadelphia there came the representative of tlio Howard Mission of New York. He brought with him eight or ton children of th? street that he bad picked up, , and he was tryingto find for them Christian homes, and as the little ones stood on tho pulpit and sang our hearts melted withu us. At the close of the services a great hearted wealthy mnncameupand said, "I'll takethis little bright eyed girl ana I'll adopt her as one of my own children.'' And ue took her by the hand, lifted her into his carriage and want away. The next day, while wo were in the church gathering up garments for the poor of Now York, this littla child came hack with a mm.n.?o-rv, ??,i,u.?u. ..'ci my old dress. Perhaps some of the poor children would like to huvo it." while sbo norsolf was iu bright and beautiful array, and those who more immediately examined iter raid sho had a ring on her hand. It was ' a ring of adoption. 1 There aro a great many persons who pride themselves on their ancestry, and they glory over the royn: hlood that pours through 1 their arteries. In their line there was a lord, 1 or a duke, or a prime minister, or a kine. 15ut when the Lord, our Father, puts upon us tho ring of His adoption wo become the t children of tho littler of all Nations. "Behold what manner of'ove tho Father hath Iirstowed upon us. that wo should be culled the sons of God." It matters not how poor 1 our garments may to in this world, or ho . i scant our bread, or how mean tho hut w M live In, if we have that ring of Christ's adop- | i tion upon our hand, wo are assured of eter- I ua' defenses. I i Adopted! Why, then, wo are brothers and ] sisters to nil tho good of earth and heaven. ' Wo huvo the family nam \ the family dress, 1 tno family keys, the family wardrobe. Tho 1 Father looks after us, robes us. defends us, ) blisses us. We hnvo royal blood in our veins, and there are crowns in our line. If 1 wo are His children, then princes and prin- 1 cesses. It is on.y a question of time when 1 wo get our coronet. Adopted! Then wo i have tho family secrets. "The secret ot tho I Lord is with them that fear Him." Adopted! 1 Then wo have tho laniily inheritance, and in t the day when our Father shall divide tho riches of licnven wo shall take our share of I the mansions and palaces and temp'es, 1 lienor orth let us boast no more o'an rartliiy I ancestry. Tho insignia of eternal glory is 1 our coat of arms. This ring of adoption J nuts upon us all honor anil n'l privilege. Now we can take tho words of Charles We? ' ley. that prince of hyntnmukors, and sing: | i Come, let us join our friends above 1 Who hnvo obtained t'.ic arize, < And on the eagle wings oi love ] To joy celestial rise. r Let all tho saints terrestrial sing With those to glory gone. .Fo till the servants of our King jn neaven mid earth are one. _ have been told that when any of 'he ( n> cithers Oi' any oi the great secret societies | ( oi this country aro in a distant city and aro , in any kind oi trouble, and are set upon by ( enemies, tiiey nave only to give a certain , Signal and the members of that organization j wilt llock around lor defense. And when ! , any man beiougs to this great Christian j , brothernooii. it lie pets in troub.e, in trial, j in persecution, in temptation, ho has only to ^ show this ring of Christ's adoption, and nil ' the armed cohorts of licuven will come to nis rescue, still fiirther. when Christ takes a soul into H s love He i.ms upon it a marriage ring. .\<>vv. that i> not a whim of mill" (ilosra ii.. it'!.

Did they not try i to divorce Margaret, tho Seoich girl, from Jtsus? They said : "You muse give up your religion." Hhesa'.d: "I can't Rive up my religion." And so they took her down to the beach of the sea. and they drove in a stake at low water mark, and they fastened her to it, expecting that as the tide came up her faith would fall. The tide began to rise, and eamo up higher an d higher, and to the girdle, and to the lip. and in the last moment, just as the wave was washing her soul into glory, she shouted the praises of Jesus. Ob. no, you cannot separate a soal from Christ? It is an everlasting- marriftge. Battle and storms and darkness cannot do it. Ib it too much exultation for a man. who is but dust and ashes like myself, to cry out this moment, "I am persuaded that neither height nor depth nor principalities nor powers, nor things present, nor tilings to come, nor any other creature, shall sonarate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jeeus. my Lord?" Glory be to God that when Christ and the soul are married they are bound by a chain?a golden ob?ttn ? if I might say so? a chain with ono link, and that one link the go'den ring of God's everlasting love. I go a step farther, and tell you that when Cbrisf receives a soul into His love. He puts on him the ring of festivity. You know that it has been'tbe custom in all ages to bestow rings on very happy occasions. There is coming more appropriate ror n birthday gift tlian u ring. You delight to bestow sucli \ gift upon your children at such a time. It means joy, hilarity, festivity. Well, when this old man of the text wanted to tel! how glad ho was that his boy had got back, he expressed it in this way. Actually, before ho ordered sandals to be put on his bare feet; before he ordered the tutted calf to be killed to appease the boy's hunger, ho commanded, "Put a ring on his hand. Ob. it is a merry time when Christ and the soul are united! Joy of forgivness! What a splendid thing it ir. to feel that all 1b right between my God and myself. What a glorious thing it is to have God just tako tip all Ihe sins of my life and put them in one bundle, and then (ling them into the depths of the sea, never to riso again, never to bo talked of again. Pollution all gone. Darkness all illumine!. God reconciled. The prodigal home. "Put a ring on his hand." Every day I tlnd happy Christiau people. I llnd some of them with no second coat, Borneo!them in huts and tenement houses, not one earthly comfort afforded them, suid yet they tire as happy as happy can bo. They sing "Rock of Ages" as no other people in the worl<? sing it. Tncy never wore any jewelry in their life hut one gold ring, aud that was the ring of God's undying affection. Oh, how happy religion makes us! Did it make you gloomy and sad? Did you go with your head cast down? I do not think you got religion, my brother. That is not the effect of religion. True religion is a joy. "Her ways arc ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." Why, religion lightens all our burdens, i It smooths all our way. It interprets ail our sorrows. It changes the iar of earthly discord for the peal of festal bells. In front of the flaming furnace of trial it sets the forge on which scepters are hammered out. Would you not like this hour to corao up from the swine feeding and try this religion? All the joys oi heaven would come out and meet you. and God would cry from tho throne, "Put a ring on his hand." You are not happy. I see it. There is no peace, and sometimes you laugh wheu you leel a groat deal more like crying. The world is a cheat. It Urst wears you down with its follies, then it kicks you out into darkness. It comes back from the massacre of a million souls to attempt tho destructioa ii juui muui lu-imy. piu [leacfl om 01 uou, bur hero Is the fountain that can slake the thirst.

More iinui ''.,000,000 bottles soli!?;': ifi'LAUj UI tO Absolutely Pure-De H wau A gentleman of a methodical habit, who bad adopted the practloe of retuiulng a copy of every prescription issued by his family physio 1 in, became interested as time wont on tt note that the same ingredients were pretty certain to be prescribed at some point of the treatmont ol every case. For a poor appetite, or a sorw throat, for restlessnoss which disturbed the baby's sleep, and for troubles which beset the aged grand* parents, the favorite remedy was always turning up, although slightly modified from time to time ami used often iu conjunction with others. One day our friend happened to observe that the formula of a certain advertised remedy was ideutioal ' with the Iiiteet proscription he haft received from his own physician, and in some surprise he stated the }i case to hira. The family doctor, after listening to what ho had to say, * repliod: "The case is about this \ way: Whenever there is a disturb? a nee of the functions of tho body, no matter of what nature, it is prot- . ty certain to l>e uccompaniod by a derangement of tho digestive organau' Whon thoy are all right the piitioaL gets well. That particular formula , that you liuve observed me to writo , more and moro frequently is tho mailt of an ago of carofu! experiment, and is pretty genernlly agreed upon now by all educated physicians ( wlio Uoep up with the times. Tho, j discovery of tho past few years of 1 the meaus reduoing every drug to a powder aud compressing the powders into littlo lozenges or tablets, or tubules if you profor, which will not break or spoil, or lose their good qualities from ago, if protocted from air and light, is tho explanation of bow it has come about that this proscription is now for sale as an advertised remedy. It is the medicine that nine pi;ople out of ton need every time they need any, and I have no doubt that making it so easy to obtain, so carefully prepared, and withal so cheap, will lend to actually prolong the average of ln.m.ie UC.x .1 .. ~ ii.,1 uiKiiuu iaiv> uuuu^ vav juwcui guu* erntiou."
