.mm-L i. wm TRIP. HE PREACHES A SERMON ON PAl'I.'S JOURXKY AT BRIM)IS1, ITALY. The Brooklyn Divine ivrs a Graphic Ieftcrlptlon of the Ncrii s on Board TEXT: "And o it came, to pans that they escaped all safe to land." Acts xxvii., 44. . Having visitad your historical city, which we der.ired to see because it was the1 terminus of the most famous road of the nges, the Roman Appian Way. end for its mighty fortress, overshadowing a city which even Ilannibal's hosts -oul3 not thunder down, we must to-morrow morning leave your har bor, and alter touching at Athens and Cor inth, voyage about the Mediterranean to nexanuria, r.gypt. i uave ooen reaaiug this morning in my New Testament of a Mediterranean voyizjw in an Alexandrian fchip. It was this very month of November. The vessel was lving in a port not very far from here. On board that vessel were two distinguished passengers: one, Josephus, the historian, as we have strong reasons to believe; the other, a convict, one Paul by name, who was going to prison for upsetting things, or, as they termed it, "turning tho world upside down.' This convict had gained the .confidence of the Captain. ludced, 1 think that Fnul knew almost as much about the sea as did the Cap tain. He had been shipwrecked three times, already; he had dwelt much of his life amidst capstans, and rardarms, and cables, and storms; and he knew what he ' was talking about. Seeing tho equinoctial storm was coming, aud perhaps noticing something nnseaworthy in the vessel. Tie advised the Captain to stay in the harbor. But I hear the Captain and the first mate talking together. They say: "We cannot afford to take the advice of this landsman, and ho a minister. Fie may be able to preach very well, but I don't beiievo he knows a marlinspike from a luff tackle. All aboard! Cast oft! Shift the helm for headway! Who fears the Mediterranean?" They had gone only a little way out when a whirlwind, called Euroclydou. made tho torn sail its turban, shook th-3 mast as you would brandish a spaar, and tossed tha hulk into the heavens. Overboard with the car go T It is all washed wit li salt water, and worthless now; and there are no marine in surance companies. All hands ahoy, and out with the anchors ! Great consternation comes on crew and passengers. The sea monsters snort in the foam, and the billows clap their hands in flee of destruction. In the lull of the storm hear a chain clank. It is the chain of tho great apostle as he walks the deck, or holds fast to the rigging amidst the lurching of tho ship tho spray dripping from his long beard as he cries out to tho crew; "Now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for thcro shall be no loss of any man's life among you. but of tho ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God. whose I am, and whom I serve, saying. Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar; and, lo. God hath given thee all them that sail with thee." Fourteen days have passed, nnd there is no abatement of the storm. It is midnight. Standing on tho lookout, the man peers into the darkness and. by a flash of lightning, sees the long white line of the breakers, and knows they must becoming near to some country, tnct fears that in a few moments the vessel will be shivered on the rocks. The ship flies like chart' in a tornado. They drop tho sounding line, nnd by the light of the lan tern they see it is twenty fathoms. Speed ing along a littlo farther they dn the line again, and by the light of the lantern they see it 'is fifteen fathoms. Two hundred and seventy-six souls within a few feet of awful shipwreck ! The managers of the vessel, pretending they want to look over the side of the ship and undorgird it.get. into the small boat, expecting in it to escape; but Paul sees through the sham, nnd he tells mem luai u uiey go on m ine ooat il will do the death of them . The vessel strikes ! The planks spring! Tho timbers crack! Tho. I vessel parts m the thundering surge! Oh, what wild struggling for life! Here they leap from plank to plank. Here they po under as if they would never rise, "but. eatching hold of a timber, come floating and panting on it to the beach. Here, strong swimmers spread their arms through the waves until their chins plow the sand, and they rise up and wring out their wet locks on the beach. When the roll of the ship is called, two hundred and seventy-six jieoplo answer to their names. " And : -o," says my text, "it came to pass that they escaped all safe to land." I learn from this subject: First, that thoso who get us into trouble will not stay to help us out. These shipnicn got Paul out of Fair Havens into the storm; but as soon as the tcmiwst dropped upon them, they wanted to go off m the small boat, cariug nothing for what bc-amo of Paul nnd tho passengers. Ah me! human nature is the same in all ages. They who get us into trouble never stop to help us out. They who tempt that young man into a life of dissipation will bo the first to laugh at his imbecility, and to drop him out of decent society. Gamblers always make fun of the losses of gamblers. They who tempt you into the contest with fists, saying, "I will back you." will be the first to run. Look over all the predicaments of your life, and count tho names of those who have got you into those predicaments, aud tell me the name of one who ever helped you out. They were jlad enough to get you out from Fair Havens, but when, with damaged rig ging, you tried to :ot into harbor, did they hold for yon a plank or throw you a ropel Not one. Satan has got thousands of men into trouble, hut he never got ' tip out. Ho led thorn iato theft, but ho" would not hido the goods or bail out the defendant. Tho spider shown the fly the way over tho gossa mer bridge into the cobweb; but it never shows the fly the way out of the cobweb ever the gossamer bridge. I think that there were plenty of fast young men to help the prodigal spend his money; but when he had wasted bis substance in riotous living, they let him go to the swine pastures, while thev betook themselves to some other new coiner. They who take Paul out of Fair Havens will be Of no help to him when he gets into the breakers of Meli ta. I remark again, as a lesson learned from the text, that it, is dangerous to refuse the counsel of competent advisers. Paul told them not to go out with that siiip. They thought he knew not.hinz about it. They said: "He is only a minister '." They went, nnd tho ship was destroyed. There are a great many people who now sav ot ministers: "They know nothing about the world. They cannot tanc xo tis: An. my friends, it is not necessary to lve the Asiatic cholera b : . for- TOU can JpVP- it medical treatment in others. 1 Tip-not ueeessary to have your own arm broken before you can know how to i.pliuter a fracture. And wo who stand in the puloit. and in tho office of ft Christian readier, know that there are certain stylefc of belief and certain kinds of behavior that will lead to destruction as cor tainly as Paul know that if that uhip went out of Fair Havens it would go to destruc cion.' "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; nd let thy heart cheer thoo in thy" days of thy youth; but know thou that for all theso things God will bring thee into judgment.'' We may not know much, but we know that. Young people refuse the advice of parents. They sayt "Father is over-suspicious, and mother ii getting old.'' But those paientn have been on the sea of life. They know where the storms sleep, and during their voyage have seen a thousand battered hulks marking the place where beauty burned, and intellect foundered, and morality sank. They are old sailor,, having answered many a signal of distress, and endure;! great stress of weather, and gone scudding under bare poles;, and . the old folks know what they ar talking about. Look at lhat man in Ins cheek the glow of infernal" fin. His eyo flashes not as one with, thought, but with low pawnon. IUf brain is a sewer through which immtritr 5 hi V nrl the tr-ti-:h in which lust it his mother's knee, and Against that iniquit ous brow once pressed a pure mother's lips. Dut he refused her counsel. He went where euroclydons havo their lair. Ho foundered on the sea, while nil hell echoed at the roar of the wreck: Lost Paci tics! Lost Pacifies! Another lesson from ' the subject is that Christians are always safe. There did not soem to be much ohaneo for Paul getting out of that shipwreck, did there? They had not, iu those days, rockets with which to throw rop?s over foundering ves sels. Their lifeboats were of but little worth. And yet, notwithstanding all the danger, my text says that Paul escaped safo to land. And so it will always be with God's children. Thev may lie plunged iuto dark ness and trouble, but by tho throne of tho eternal God, I assert it, "thoy shall all es cape safe to laud." Sometimes there comes a storm of com niereinl disaster. The cables break. Tho masts fall. The cargoes nro scattered over the sea. Oh! what struggling and leaning on kegs and hogsheads and oornbius and store shelves! And yet, though they may have it so very hard in commercial circles, the good, trusting iu God, all come safe to laud. Wreckers go out on the ocean's beach and find tha shattered hulks of vessels; and ou the streets of our great cities there is many a wreck. Mainsail slit with banker's pen. Hulks abeam's end ou insurance counters, Vast credits sinkiug, having suddenly sprung aleak. Yet all of them who are God's chil dren shall at last, through His goodness and mercy, escape safo to land. The Scandina vian warriors used to drink wine out of the skulls of the euemies they had slain. Even so God will help us, out of tho conquered ills and disasters of life, to drink sweetness and strength for our souls. You have, my friends, had illustrations in your own life of how God delivers His peo ple. I have Lad illustrations in my own life of the same truth. I was once in what on your Mediterranean you call a Eurocyl don, but what on the Atlantic we calJ a cyclone, but the same storm. The steamer Greece, of the National hue, swung out into the river Mersev at Liverpool, bound for New York. We had on board seven "tdndred, crew and passengers. AVe camo together strangers Italians, Irishman, Eng lishmen, Swedes, Norwegians, Ameri cans. Two flags floated from the masts- British and American ensigns. We had a new vessel, or one so thoroughly re modeled that tho voyngo had around it all the uncertainties of a trial trip. The great steamer felt its way cautiously out into tho sea. The pilot was discharged; and commit ting ourselves to the care of Him who Intel, eth the winds in His fis-. we were fairly started on our voyage of throe thousand miles. It was rough nearly all the way tho sea with strong buffeting disputing our path. But ona night, at 11 o'clock, after the lights had been put out. n cyclone a wind just made to tear ships to pieces caught us in its clutches. It came dowu so suddenly that we had not time to take in the sails or to fnsteu tho hatches. You may kno w that tho bottom of the Atlantic is strewn witli the ghastly work of cyclones. Oh! they are cruel winds. They have hot breath, as though they came up from infernal furnaces. Their merriment is the cry of affrighted passengers. Their play is the foundering of steam ers. And, when a ship goes down, they iaugh until botii continents hear them. They go iu circles, or, as I describe them with my hand rolling on! rolling on! with finger of terror writing ou the whit9 sheet of the wave thl sentence of doom: all that com? within this circle perish ! Brigantines, go down ! Clippers, go down. Steamships, go down !"' Aud the vessel, hearing the ter rible voice, crouches in the surf, and as the waters gurgle through the hatches and port boles, it lowers away, thousands of feet down, farther aud farther, until at last it strikes the bottom; and all is peace, for they havo landed. Helmsman, dead at tho wheel! Engineer, dead amidst the extin guished furnaces! Captain, dead in the gangway 1 Passengers, dead in the cabin! Buried in the great cemetery of dead steam ers, beside the City of Boston, the Lexington, the President, the Cambria waiting for the archangel's trumpet to split up the decks, aud wrench ojen the cabin doors,and unfast en the hatches. I thought that I had seen storms on the sea iieforc, but all of them together might have come under one wing of that cyclone. We were only eight or nine hundred miles from home, and in high expectation of soon seeing )iir friends, for there was no one on board so poor as not to have a friend. But it seemed as if we were to le disappointed. The most if us expected then and there to die. There were noue who made light of the peril, ave t wo. One wai an Englishman, and he ivas drunk, and the other was an Anieri an. and he was a fool! Oh! what a .ini. it was! A night to make one's lair turn white. AVe came out of the berths, md stood iu the gangway, and looked into the steerage. and sat in the cabin. AVhile seated '.here, we heard overhead something like aiiuute guns. It was the bursting of the sails. IV e held on with hoth hands to keep our places. Those who attempted to cross 'ho floor camo back bruised and gashed. Cups and glasses were dashed ai fragments; pieces of the table getting loose, swung across the saloon. It seemed is if the hurricane took that great ship of thousands of tons and stood t on end. and said- "Shall I sink it, or let it go this once?" And then it came 'lowu with such force that the billows tram pled over it. each mounted of a fury. Wo felt thnt everything depended on the pr pelling screw. If that stopped for an in stant we knew the vessel would fall off into the trough of the sea and sink, and so we prayed that the screw, which three times since leav ing Liverpool had already stopped, might not stop now. Oh! how anxiously we listened for the regular thump of the ma chinery, upon which our lives seemed to depend. After a while some one said: "The screw is stopped!" No; its sound had enly been overpowered by the .uproar of the tempest, and wo breathed easier again wheu we heard the re gular pulsations of the overtasked machinery going thump, thump, thump. At 3 o'cIook in the morning the water covered the ship from prow to 6tem, and the skylights gave way ! The deluge rushed in, and we felt that one or two more waves like that must swamp us forever. As the water rolled back and for ward in the cabins, and dashed against the wall, it sprang half way up to tho ceiling. Pvushuig through the skylights a it camo lit with such terrific roar, there went up from the cabin a shriek of horror which I pray God I may never hear again. I have dreamed the whole scene over ogaiiij but God has mercifully kept me from hear ing that one cry. Into it seemed to be com pressed the agony of expected shipwreck. It seemed to say: "I shall never get homo tgain! My children shall be orphaned, and my wife shall lie widowed! I am .launching now into eternity! In two minutes I shall meet my God !" There were about five hundred and fifty passengers in the steerage, and as tho water rushed in and touched the furnaces, and be gan violently to hiss, the poor creature in the steerage imagined that the boilers were (giving way. Those passengers writhed in th 'water and in the mud. some praying, soni-s crying all terrified. They made a rush for the deck. An officer stood on deck aud beat them back with blow after blow. It was necessary. They could not have stood an instant on tlw deck. Oh! how they begged to get out of the hold of tho shin! One woman, with a child in her arms, rushed up aud caught hold of one of lln officers and cried: "Do let me out! 1 will help you! Do let me out! I cannot dio here!" Home got down and prayed to the Virgin Mary, saying: "O blessed mother! keen us! Have mercy on us!" Some stood with white lips and fixed gaze, ilent in their terror. Some wrung their hands and cried out: "OGod! what shall I do? What shall I do?" The time came when the crew could no longer stay on tho deck, and the cry of the officers was: "Below! all hands below !'' Our bravo and svrnpntheti.i , - ' ' raped very narrowly with his life The cy clone seemed to stand on tho dock, waving its wing, crying: "This ship is minel I have captured it! Ha! ha! I will command it I If. God will permit, I will sink it here and now! By a thousand shipwrecks, I swear tho doomi of this vessel!" There was a lull in tho storm;, but only that it might gain additional fury. Crash! went tho lifeboat on one side. Crash ! went the lifeboat on the ether side. Tho great booms got loose, and, as with tho heft of a thunder bolt, pounder! the deck and beat tho mast tho jib boom,, studding sail boom, nnd square sail boom, with their strong arms, bea'.ing time to the awful marc!: and music of tho hurricane. Meanwhile the ocean became phosphores cent. The whole scene looked like fire. The water dripping from tho rigging, there were rojies of fire, aud there were masts of fire; and there was a deck of fire, A ship of fire, sailing on a sea of fire, through n night of fire. May I never see anythiug like it again! Everybody prayed. A lad of twelve years of ago got down and prayed for his mother. "If I should give up." he said, "I do not. know what would be wum of mother " Thero were men who, I think, had not prayed for thirty yean, who then got down on their kiio?. When a man who has neglected God all his life feels that he has como to his Inst lime, it makes a very busy night. All of our sins and shortcomings iassed through our minds. My own life seemed utterly un satisfactory. I could only say : ' ' Hero," Lord, take mo as I am, I cannot mend matters now. Lord Jesus, Tbou didst die for the chief of sinners. That's me! It seems, Iiord, as if my work is done, end poorly done, and upon Thy infinite mercy I cast myself, aud in this houv of shipwreck and darkness commit myself nnd her whom I hold by the hand to Thee, 0 Lord Jesi r! praying that it may bo a short struggle in the water, and that at the same instant we may both arrive in glory!" Oh! I tell you a man prays straight to tho mark when lie has 9 cyclone above him, an ocean beneath him, and eternity so close to him that he can feel its breath on his check. The night was long. At last we saw the iawn looking through the port holes. Asin the olden time, in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came walking on the sea, from wave cliff to wave cliff, and wheu He puts His foot upon a billow, though it may be tossed up with might it goes down. He cried to the winds. Hush ! They kuew His voice. The waves knew His foot. They died away. And in the shining track of His feet I read those letters on scrolls of foam and fire: 'Tho earth shall lie filled with the knowledge it God as the waters cover the sea." The ocean calmed. The iatb of the steamer became more imd more mild; until, on the last morning out, the sun threw round about us a glory rach as I never witnessed before. God made 1 pavement of mosaic, reaching from horizon to horizon, for all the splendors of earth and heaven to walk upon a pavement bright enough for the foot of a seraph bright enough for the wheels of tho , archangel's chariot. As a parent embraces a child, and kisses away its grief, so over that sea. that nad been wrnTimg In agony m Tho tempesT. the morning threw its arms of beauty and of benediction, and the lips of earth and heaven met. As I came on deck it was very early, xac we were Hearing the shore I saw a few sails against the sky' They seemed like the spirit of the night walking the billows. I leaned ovor the taffrail of the vessel, and said: "Thy way, 0 God, is in the sea, and Thy path in the' great waters." It grew lighter. The clouds rr hung in purple clusters along the sky; mid, ns if those purple clusteis were pressed into red wine and poured out upon tho sea. every wnvo turned into crimson. Yonder; fire cleft stood opposite to fire cleft ; and here, a cloud, rent and tinged with light, seemed like a palace, with (lames bursting from the win dows. The whole scene lighted up un til it seemed ns if the angels of God were ascending and descending ujioii stairs of fire, and the wnvc-erests, changed into jasper, aud crystal, and ame thyst, as they were flung toward the lieach, made me think of the crowns of heaven cast before tho throne of the great Jehovah. I leaned over the taffrail agnin, nnd said, with more emotion than before: "Thy way. God, is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters'?" So, I thought, will be the going off of the- storm and night of the Christian's life. Tiio darkness will toltl its tents and nwav! Tho golden feet of'the rising morn will como skipping upon the mountains, nnd all the wrathful billows of tho world's woo break into tho splendor of eternal ,?oy. And so we come into the harbor The cyclone behind us. Our friends be fore us. God, who is always good, all around us. And if the roll of the crew and the passengers had been called seven hundred souls would have answered to their names. "And so it came to pass that we all escaped safe to land." And may God grant that, when all our Sabbaths on earth aro ended, we may find that, through the rich mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, we all have weathered the gale!

A remarkable air-wave of January 31 has attracted much attention from meteorologists, who are still unable to explain the phenomenon. At several stations in Cential Europe the barom eter recorded a sudden clip of about four hundredths of an inch, followed by a corresponding rise a few minutes later. Dr. E. Hermann has traced the disturbance from Pola to Keifcum, separated by about five degrees of lati tude, the rate of translation between these two places haying been about seventy-one miles an hour. In an east erly and westerly direction the disturb ance was confined to narrow limits. There was no earthquake in Europe.
