wander up and down the beach, get
ting vessels ashore in the nit, throw
injf up false, lights in their presence
and deceiving them, that .they might
despoil and ransack them. All kinds
rffffof infernal arts were used, to accom
plish this. And one night, on ine Cor
nish coast, when the sea was coming
in fearfully, ome" villians took a lan
tern ofldJied iVU o'horn', and led the
horse up and down the- beach, the
lantern staying to' the motion of the

heard the roeksgratiug on the ship's

" II. y talking with sailors I have
heard alnrv-tbat sometimes ships come
to this ca-lanntv by the
hooks of steej, and blindfold them,
and make them "walk . the plank."
They do not know what the next mo
ment may bring .forth. Drifting in
their theology. Drifting in their
habits. Drifting in regard to all the
future. No God, no Christ, no set
tled anticipations of . eternal felicity;
but all the time coming nearer'and
fearer to
!A DAXGEROrS COAST.'
. Some of them are on fire with evil
habit, and they will burn on the1 sea,
the charred Jiulk tossed uj)" on the
barren beach of the lost world. Many
of them with great troubles, financial
troubles, domestic troubles, socjal
trouble,; but they never jpray for
comfort. With an aggravation of sin
that stirs up the ire of God, they pray
for no pardon. They do not steer for
the lightship-that dances in gladness
at the mouth of heaven's 'harbor;
reckless as to .where they come out,
.d'-ifting . farther fa-ore t , ,'tJ ',rfy Tt-fcgr
from early religious-influences, farther
from their present happiness,' farther
from heaven. ' ..
And what is the worst thing about
it is, that the'y are taking t,heir fami
lies along with theni, and if one
perish, perhaps they will all pe"risli,
and the. yvav one goes; the probabili
ty is hey yvill allgo.. "Yet no anxiety.
As unconscious- of danger as the pas
sengers on board the Arctic one mo
ment before the iVest'a crashed into
her. Wrapped upyin the business of

they must quit all their earthly po pes

saved by his invention f In after
days' that invention was improved,
and one day there was
A PERFECT LIFE BOT,
the Northumberland, ready at Uims
gafe. The life--boat being ready, to
test it the crew came out and leaped
on the gunwale on one side to 'see if
the boat wpuld upset; it was impossible-
to upset it. Then, amid the
huzzas of excited thousands, that boat
yvas launched, and it has gone and
come, picking up a great many of the
shipwrecked. But I have to tell you
to-night of a grander launching, and
from the dry-docks of heaven.
Word cime.up that a world -wis

Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune
Mars were (almost) in line, and Mars
was not far in advanqe, while' Uranus
was not far in advance of Mars. .
It was a marshaliDg of the planets
never before seen on this continent
since the diecovery of North America,
and as it was not to be repeated till
the end of a cycle too long to figure

well be called an earthquake cycle.
The storms in the environment of
the sunytne enormous rentio the side
of Jupiter, the family of great comets,

by the recori from 1881 to 1884 I was
