Paul was not going to interfere with his -wu coronation. He was too glad to go.

What a transition it was-! Fio the malaria of Rome to the finest climate in all tho universe the zone of eternal beauty and health. His ashes were pnt in the catacombs of Rome, but in one moment the air of heaven bathed from his soul the last ache. From shipwreck, from dungeon, from the biting pain of tho elinwood rods, from the sharp sword of the headsman, ho 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, for I do really think that as on tho right hand of God is Christ, so on the right hand of Christ is Panl, the second great in heaven. Ho changed kings likewise. Before the hour of death, and up to the last 1 moment, he was under Nero, the thick necked, the cruel eyed, the filthy lipped, j the sculptured features of that man I bringing down to us this very day the horrible possibilities of his nature seated as he was amid pictured mar bles 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 , magnificence; his hordes standing in t stalls of solid gold, nnd the grounds I around his palace lighted at night by ! its victims, who had been bedaubed with tar and pitch and then set on fire 1 to illnmino the darkness. That was Paul's king. I But the next moment he goes into the ' realm of him whose reign is love, and whose courts are paved with love, and tt-l-iftcA tliwino w Cat nn -lillm-a ff Inrn wall it was fifteen feet The highest of and wbose (er is ndorned with jew. the roof was seven feet from the floor ' -3of lllTe and whose palace is lighted and the lowest of tho roof five feet seven th , nnJ whK8 Ilfetiine fa an eter u6,3 J?

Dr. Tal mage u now on the Atlantic, having tailed from New York on the 15th inst. for Liverpool, for a preaching tour in England, Scotland, Ireland and Sweden. Before visiting Sweden Dr. Tal.iiao will go to Russia, there to witnc the reception and disposition of the cargo of breadstuffs on board The Christian Her ald relief steamship L-o. which sailed last week for St. Petersburg. Previous to his dep.irt.Tire he dictated to hi stenog rapher the following farewell sermon, to bo read by the vast and widely scat tered audiences whom it is his weekly privilege to address through the xnedinm of the newspaper press. He took his text from II Timothy iv, 0, "The time of my departure is at hand." Departnrel That is a word 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 me ridians passing through the extremities of a course. It is a word I have recent ly heard applied to my de'parture from America to Europe for a preaching tonr to last nntil September. In a smaller nnd less Mgniticaut sense than that im plied in the text 1 can say, "The time of my departure is at hand." Through the printing press 1 ad Iress this sermon to inv readers all the world over, and when they read it 1 will be midocean, and unless something new ' happens in my marine experiences 1 will j te 111 no condition to preach. But how unimportant the word departure when j applied to exchange of continents as when applied to exchange of worlds as when Panl wrote, "The time of my du- 1 partnro is at hand." j Now departure implies a starting place and a place of destination. When Paul left this world, what was the start- ' ing point? It was a Eceue of great phys ical distress. It was the Tnlliannm, the lower dungeon of the Mamertine prison, Rome, Italy. The top dungeon was bad enough, it having no means of ingress or egress but through an opening in the top. Throngh that the prisoner was lowered, and through that came all the food and air and light received. It was a terrible place, taat upper dungeon; but the Tnlliannm was tho lower dun geon, and that was still more wretched, tho only light and the only air coming through the roof, and that roof the floor of the upper dungeon. That was Paul's last earthly residence. I was in that lower dungeon in No vember, 1SS9. It is made of volcanic stone. I measured it, and from wall to Paul spent his last days on earth, and it departrire ja at is thero that I see him now, in the fear- j -'0w wj. c? iui uui.geu.1, Buiveriiig, uiuu wiui uiu cold, waiting for that old overcoat which ho had sent for up to Troaa and which They had not yet sent down, notwith standing ho had writton for it. THE DUNOEON OF ST. PAUL. If somo skillful surgeon should go into that dungeon whnro Paul is incarcerated wo might find out whnt aro tho pros pects of Paul's living through tho rough Imprisonment. In tho first placo he is an old man, only two years short of sev enty. At that very time when ho most noods tho warmth, and the sunlight, and tho fresh air ho is shutout from the sun. What nro thoso scars on his ankles? 'Why, thoso were got when ho was fast, his foot in tho stocks. Every time he turned tho flesh on his ankles started. What aro those scars on his back? You know ho was whipped five times, each timo getting thirty-nino strokes ono hundred and nine'y-flvo bniiscs on tho back (count them')mado by the Jews with rods of elm wood, each one of tho ono hundred nnd nincty-fivo strokes bringing tho blood. Look nt Paul's faco and look at his arms. Whoro did ho got thoso bruises? I think it wns win 11 ho was struggling nshoro amid tho bhivored timbers of tho shipwreok. I see a gash in Paul's side. Whoro did ho got thnt? I think he got that in tho tusslo with highwaymen, for ho had been in poril of robbers nnd ho bad money of his own.' Ho wns a me chanic as woll as an apctlo, nnd I think tho tents ho made were as good as his soniions. Thoro is a wanness about Panl's looks. What makes that? 1 think a part of that camo from tho fact that ho was for twonty-four hours 011 a plank in tho Mediterranean sou, suffering terribly, before ho was rescued, for ho says posi tively, "I was a night and a day in tho deep." Oh, worn out, emaciated old "man I surely you must bo melancholy; no constitution could endnre this and bo cheerful. But I press my way through tbe priwn until I coma np close to where be ii. And by the faint light that streams tbro8b the opening I freo on his face a tapersatural joy, and I bow before him, sad I say, "Aged man, how can you keep cheerful amid all this gloom?" His voice startles the darkness of the placo as be criee out, "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is ft hand." Hark! what is that shuffling of feet in tbe upper dungeon? Why, Paul has an fcariUtioa to a banquet, aud he is-going to dine today with the king. Those hatting feet are tho feet of the execu tsoaers. They come, and they cry down throegh the bole of the dungeen: nnr- havo the same holy glee as that aged man had? Charles I, when he was comb ing his bead, fonnd a gray hair, and he sent it to tho queen as a great joke; bnt olJ ago is really no joke at all. For tho last forty years you have been dreading that which ought to have been an ex hilaration. You say you most fear the struggle at tho moment tho soul and body part. Bnt millions have endured that moment, and may not we as well? Thoy got through with it and so can we. Besides this, all medical men agree in saying that thero is probably no straggle at tho last moment not so much pain as the prickfof a pin, tho seeming sigus of distress boing altogether involuntary. But you say, "It is the uncertainty of tho future." Now, child of God, do not play tho infidel. After God has tilled the Bible till it can hold no moro with stories of the good things ahead, better not talk about uncertainties. THE OLOIUOUS COMPANY. But you say, "1 cannot bear to think of parting from frieuds here." If you are old, you ha vo more frieuds in heawn than here. Just take tho census. Take somo largo sheet of paper and begin to record tho names of thoso who have emi grated to tho qther shore; tho compan ions of your school days, your early business associates, tho friends of mid life, nnd thoso who moro recently went away. Can it bo that they have beeu gono so long yon do not caro any more about them, and you do not want their society? Oh, no. There have been days when you have felt that you could not enduro another moment away from their blessed compauionhip. They have gone. You say you would not liko to bring them back to this world of trouble, oven if you had tho iwwer. It would not do to trust you. Uod would not give you resurrectiou power. Before tomorrow morning you would bo rattling nt tho gates of the cemetery crying to tho departed: "Come back to tho cradle where you slept I Come back to tho hall where you used to play! Coniu back to the table where you used to sit I" aud there would be a great bur glary in heaven. No, no. God will not trust you with resurrection power; but he compromises tho matter and bays, "You cannot bring them where yon are, bnt you can go where they are." They aro moro lovely uow than ever. Were they beau.ifu! hare, they are more beau-tifulthfrv.

Can yon tell me anything about that heavenly place? You ask mo a thou sand questions about it that 1 cannot answer. I ask you a thousand questions abont it that you cannot answer. And do you wonder that Paul was so glad when martyrdom gave him a chanco to go over and make discoveries in that blessed country? I hope some day, by tho grace of God, to go over and see for myself, but not uow. No well man, no prospered man, 1 think, wants to go now. Bat the time will come, I think, when 1 shall go over. 1 want to seo what they do there and 1 want to see how they do it. 1 do not want to be looking throngh tho gates ajar forever. 1 want them to swing wide open. There are ten thousand things 1 want explained about you, about myself, about the government of this world, abont 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. 1 wonder how it looks over there. Some body 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 like a triumph; J proces sion, and the next man I meet tells me it is all figurative. 1 really want to know, after tho body is resurrected, what they wear and what they eat, and I have an immeasurable curiosity 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 ont on a voyage of discovery which shall reveal a vaster and more brilliant coun try? John Franklin risked his life to find a passago between icebergs, and shall we dread to find a passage to eter nal summer? Men in Switzerland travel np the heights of the ilatterhorn with alpenstock and 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 wo fear to go out for the ascent of the eternal hills whicn 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 and said in joy, "Now in ten minutes 1 will know the great secret." One minute after the vital functions ceased, tho little child that died last night knew more than Jonathan Ed wards or St. Paul himself before he died. Friends, the exit from this world, or death, if you please to call it, to the Christian is glorious explanation. WE SHALL SEE EVE TO EYE. It is demonstration. It is illumina tion. It is sunburst. It is the opening of all the windows. It is shutting up the catechism of doubt and tho unroll ing of all the scrolls of positive and ac curate information. Instead of stand ing at the foot of the ladder and looking up it is standing at the top of the ladder and looking down. It is the last mys tery taken out of botany and geology and astronomy and theology. Oh, 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 questions are to be decided which we have been discussing all our lives? Who shall not clap his hands in the anticipation of that blessed country, if it bo no better than throngh holy curiosity, crying, "The time of my departure is at hand?" I remark again, we ought to have the joy of tho text, because, leaving this world, wo move into the best society of tho universe. You see a great crowd of people in 6ome street, and you say: "Who is passing there? What general, what prince is going up there?" Well, 1 see a great throng in heaven. I say: "Who is tho focus of all that admira tion? Who is tho center of that glitter ing company?" It is Jesus, the cham pion of all worlds, tho favorite of all ages. Do you know what is the first ques tion the soul will ask when it comes throngh the gato of heaven? I think the first question will be, "Where is Jesus, tho Saviour that pardoned mjLein, that carried my sorrows, that fonght my bat tles, that won iny victories?" Oh, radiant onol how I would like to see thee! thou of the manger, but without its humilia tions; thou of tho cross, but without its pangs; thou of the grave, but without its darkness. AIJVE WITH JESCS. The Bible intimates that we will talk I will bo put down, and ever' Up closed, and all eyes fixed on tho divino narrator nntil the story is done, aud then, at tho tap of the baton, tho eternal orches I tra will rouse up, finger on string of harp, and lips to the month of trumpet, there shall roll forth tho oratorio of the Messiah, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive blessing and riches and honor and glory and power, world without end!" What ho cmTured, oh, who caa tell. To sa e oar eouts from death and belli When there was between Paul and that magnificent Personage only tho thinness of the tharp edge of the sword of tho executioner, do yon wonder that ho wanted to go? Oh, my Lord Jesus, let one wave of that glory roll over usl Hark! 1 hear the wedding bells of heaven ringing now. The marriage of the Lamb has come, and the bride hath made herself ready. And now for- a little whilo goodby. 1 have no morbid feelings about the fntnre. But if any thing should happen that we never meet again in tins 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 the word of his grace, which is able to bnild us np and give us an inheritance among all them that are sanctified. oiacK nanu tuny uait an men m width. Toay nothing nbout good tatc. which may not bo considered under the circumstauces, the uso of btieli jix?r is entirely too conspicu ous. It obtrudes your grief upon everybody and makes a display of it. The matter is wholly personal ; it is not ueeessaiy to proclaim it to tho world. In the wearing of rings nnd jewel ry a lavishuess of display is often noti -eahle. This also is bad form, beir; n parade of mere personal weaiJi. Rings and jewels aro all right if worn in moderation, but true refinement never indulges in excesses of dress or ornamentation.

A nervy girl, with a rifle and quick shot, saved the life of a boy who was being dragged to death by a runaway horse on the road about four miles south west of Hastings, Neb., Sunday after noon. A lot of children were playing around the farmyard of Walter Wil liams, and one of the boys was riding a horse. His feet were stuck in the stir rups, and he was playing "circus" for tho benefit of his playmates. Throngh some mischance his companions scared the horse, and the animal started off on the dead run and threw the boy from the saddle. His foot canght fast in the stirrup, and he was dragged. Miss Ella Williams was standing in the yard with a small rifle, with which she had been shooting at a mark. She is an expert shot, and her nerve saved the boy. She saw that inevitable death stared him in the face, and as the horse dashed past her she fired a bullet through his neck, closo to his ears, that killed him instantly, dropping him in his tracks. The boy was fearfully bruised, but not seriously injured. He was a son of George Jones, a neighbor, and when the father heard of the girl's deed he presented her father with an- ( know how 1 Also, tell your mother other horse to replace the one which had that people have cot rich minding Needless to Telephone.

When the animal was liberated the one who had called the gentleman came up to him and gently rubbed him with his head and looked his love. Gentleness and gratitude and careful ness for others is characteristic of the higher animals, and occasionally of the birds and fowls. Indeed, I believe that the animals frequently deserve the epithet gentleman or gentlewoman more than human folk do. Mary E. Spencer in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Montana Potatoes. There are no such potatoes in the world as are grown in Montana. They attain prodigious Fize, and often weigh three, four or five pounds apiece. Eighteen such potatoes make a bushel. To the taste they are like a new vegeta ble. The larger ones are mealy, but the smaller ones are like sacks of meal. When the skin is broken the meat falls ont like flour. It must very soon be come the pride of every steward in the first grade hotels, restaurants and clubs of the cities here, and even in Europe, to prepare these most delicious vegetables for those who enjoy good living. As these potatoes of the choicest quality can be cultivated in all of the valleys denly some of the other occupants ' of the box began to loudly abuse the 1 old gentleman ; a fight followed, and Jin the struggle the old gentleman j was lifted over the box rail and vio j lently thrown to the stage.
