Do you not feel the chUlV Do yon not henr the prronn of those Incarcerated ones who for ten yearn have not seen the sun light and the deep sigh of women who remember their father's hone and mourn over their wasted estates? Listen agatn. It Is the cough of a conenmptive or the strug gle 01 one m the nightmare or a grent hor ror, listen ajraln and hear a culprit, bl efala rattling a he roll over In his drenms. and you nay, "God, pity the prison er !" But there In another sound In that prison. It Is the song of jor and gladness. What a place to sing in! The mu1c comes winding through the corridors of the prison, and In nil the dark wards -the whisper Is heard: "What's thai? What'a that?" It Is the song of Taul and Silas. They cannot sleep. They have been whipped very badly whipped. The loni? Brashes on tbelr backs are bedine yet. They lie flat on the cold ground, their feet fast In woo len sockets, nnd of course they cannot sleep. But they can slni'. Jailer, what are you do ing with these people? Why hare they been pat In here? Oh, they have been trying to make the world letter. Is that all? That Is all. A pit for Josph. A lion's cave for Daniel. A hlaa'nor furnace for Shadrach. CIuM for John Wesley. An anathema for ThlUpp Melanchthon. A dungeon for Paul an l Silas. But while we are stm lin In the gloom of the Phll'ppian dungeon, anl we hear the mingling voices of soh and groan an l blas phemy and hallelujah, suddenly an earth quake! The Iron bars of the prison twist, the pillars crack off, the solid masonry be gins to honv nn l all t'ae doors swing open. The Jailer, feeling himself responsible for these prisoneis an 1 believing. In his pagan ienornnee,' suicide lo be honorable since Brutus killed himself, and Cato killed him self, and Casslus killed himself put hli sword to his own h"nrt, proposing with one slrDng, keen thrust to put an end to his ex citement and agltntlon. But Paul cried out : Mtop, stop I Do thyself no harm I We ere all here !" Then I see the Jailer running through the dust and amM the ruin of that prison, an 1 I see him throwing himself down nt the feet of thejie prisoners, cryln? out : "What shall I do? .What shall I do?" Did Paul answer "fit out of this place before there Is4 another eHrthcpnk". Put handcuffs and hobbles on these other prisoners lest they get away?" No word of that klud. His compact, thrill ing, tremendous answer memorable all through earth and heaven, was, "Believe on tho Lord Jesus Christ, Hnd thoushalt be Well, we have all read of the earthquake In Lisbon, In Lima, in Aleppo and In Cara cas, but we live in n latitude where in all our memory there has not been one severe vol canic disturbance. And yet we have seen flftv earthquakes. Here is a man who has been building up a large fortune. His bid on the monev market was felt in all the cities. He thinks he has got beyond all an noying rivalries in trade, and be says to him self, "Now 1 am tree ana Bare iroro an possi bleDerturbation." But in 1857 or in 1873 a national panic strikes the foundation of the commercial world, and crash goes all that magnificent business estauilsnmenr. Here Is a man who has butit up a very beautiful home. His daughters have just come home from the seminary wltti diplo mas of graduation. His sons have started in life, honest, temperate and pure. When the evenin llirhts are struck, there is a hap- rdness and unbroken family ciroie. uur. there has been an aocident down at Long Timnch. The voune man ventured too iar ont In the surf.

So, my friends, we have all folt the shaking down ol some great trouble, and there was a time when we were as much ex MtA ns thla man of the text, and we cried ,,t . he did s "What shall I do? What shall T An't" The same reply that the apostle miatA him la annronrlate to us. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be There are some documents of so little Im Dortance that you do not care to put any mnro than vour last name under them, or nun vmir Initials, but there are some docu ments of so ereat importance that you write out your full name. So the Saviour in some parts of the Bible is called "Lord " and In n.r r.r the Bible He Is called "Jesus," and in other parts of the Bible He is called "Christ," but that there might be no mis lake about this passage all three names come together the Lord jesus unnsr. xrrtr who is this being that you want me o tnir In and believe in? Men sometimes come to me with credentials and certificates Ahnracter. but I cannot trust them. There is some dishonesty in their looks that makes me know that I shall be cheated if I confide in them. You cannot put your fcoirt'a confidence in a man until you know -,, ,tnfr he la made of. and am I unreason able when I stop to ask you who this is that wnnt mo to trust in? No man would - " think of venturing his life on a vessel going emt to sea that had never been inspected. V . -rn mil at" have the certificate hung amids'hips, telling how many tons it carries, and how long ago it was built, and who built it, nnl all about it. And you cannot expect me to risk the cargo of my immortal Interests on board any craft till you tell me what it is made of, and where it was made, and what it is. When, then- I ask you who this is you want me to trust in you tell me He is a very at tractive person. Contemporary writers de scribe His whole appearance as being re splendent. There was no need for Christ to tell the children to come to Him. "Suffer little children to come unto Me" was not enken to the children. It was spoken to the disciples. The children came readily enough without any invitation. No sooner did Jesus appear than the little ones jumped from their mothers' arms, an avalanche of beauty and love, into His lap. Christ did not ask John to put his head down on His bosom. John could not help but put his head there. I suppose a look at Christ was lust to love Him. How attactlve His manner 1 Why when they saw Christ coming along the street, they ran Into their houses and thej wrapped up their invalids qict as they could and brought them out that He might look at them. Oh, there was some thing so pleasant, so inviting, so cheering in everything He did, In His very look I When these sick ones were brought out. did He say "Do not bring before Mi these sores. Do not trouble Me with these leprosies? ' No. no; there was a kind look ; tht re was a gen tle word ; there was a healing touch. Tney nould not keep away trom Him. "I think ther are many under the Infln ce of the Sp'rlt of Go I wo are sayine. "I will tmt Him if you will only tell me bow." And the greit qu-et'on, asked by mny la. "How. how?" And while I answer rcn' question I look up and utter the prayer which Rowland Hill so olten utterel in the rr i 1st of his sermon". "Master, help !" How are you to trust in Christ? Just as you trust any on. Tou trust yout partner In bns:ness with Important things. If a eo-nmereial bous.? eivesyou a note pay able three months hence, you expct the piyment of that note at theent of three months. You have perfect confidence in their worl r.nd in their ability. Or, agaio. you 1 o home to-day. You expect there will 1-ofoodonlhe tabic. Yon have confidence In that. Now, I ask you to have the same confidence In the Lord Jesus Chrst. H Mrs, "You bellve 1 I take away your shs.'1 and they are all taken away. "What !' you say, "before I pray any more? Be fore I read my Bible any more? Be'ore I cry over my sins anv more?" Yes. this mo ment. BeMeve with all your heart, and you are save 1. Why, Christ Is only watting to get from you what you give to scores of peo ple every day. What Is that? Confidence. If these people whom 5ou trust day by day are more worthy than Christ, It they nre more faithful than Christ, it they have done more than Christ ever did, then give them the (reference, but if you really think that Christ s as trustworthy as they are then deal with II 1 m as fairly. 'Ob," snys some ono In a light way, "I believe that Christ was born in Bethlehem, and I believe '.lat He died on the cross " Do rou believe it with your heal or your heart? will illustrate the difference. You are Id your own house. In the morning you open a newspaper, and you read how Captain Braveheart 00 the sea rissel his life for the salvation of his pasvnge... You say 'What a cr nd fellow he must have been ! His fam ily dserves very well of the country." You fold the newspaper ana stt down at the table and perhaps do not think of that Incident again. That Is historical faith. But now you are on the sea, and it is night and you are asleep, and you are. awakened by the shriek of "Fire !" You rush out on the deck. You hear, amid the wringing of the hands and the fainting, the cry ; "No hop, no hope ! We are lost, we are lost I" The sail puts out Its wing of fire, the robes make a burning ladder in the night heavens. the spirit of wrecks hisses In the waves, and on the hurricane decks shakes out its banner offlmoke and darkness. 'Down with the lifeboats !' cried the captain. "Down with tho lifeboats 1" People rush Into them. The boats are about full. Room for only one more man. You are standing on the deck belde the captain. Who shall It bef You or the captain The captain says, "You." You jump anl are sav-jd. He stands there and dies. Now, you believe that Captain Braveheart sacri ficed himself for his passengers, but you believe it with love, with tears, with hot and long continued exclamations, with grief nt his loss and joy at your deliverance. That is saving faith in other words, what you belteve with all the heart and believe in regard to yourself. On this hinge turns my sermon aye, the salvation of your im mortal soul. You often go across a bridgo you know nothing about. You do nor know who built the bridge, you do not know what material it Is made of, but you come to it ana waiic over u and ask no questions. Anl nere is an arched bridge blasted from the "Rock of Aes nnd built by the Architect of the whole universe, spanning the dark srulf be tween sin and righteousness, and all God asks you is to walk acro33 It, and you start, an I you come to it, and you stop, nnd you go a little way on, and you stop, ana you mil back, and you experiment. You say, "How do I know that bridge will hold me ! in stead of marching on with firm step, asking po questions, but feeling that the strength of the eternal Ool is under you. Ob. was there ever a prize proffered so cheap tis pardon and heaven are offered to you? For how much? A million dollars? It Is certainly worth more than that. But cheaper than that you can nave it. len thousand dollars? Less than that. Five thousand dollars Less than that. One dollar? Less than that. One farth ing? Less than that. .

A "Believe on ine iiora iiwiu ourjsi. ami tbou shalt be saved." Shall I try to tell you what It is to be Baved? I cannot tell you. No man, no angel, can tell you. But I c;in hint nt it, for my text brings me up to this point, "Thou Bhalt be saved." It means a happy life here, and a peaceful death, and a blissful eternity. It is a grand thing to go to sleep at night, and to get up in the morning, and to do bus iness all day feeling that all is right between my heart and God. No accident, no sick ness, no persecution, no peril, no sword, can do me any permanent damage. I am a forgiven child of God. and He Is bound to see me through. He has sworn He will see me through. The mount ains may depart, the earth may burn, the light of the stars may be blown out by the blast of the judgment hurricane, but life and death, things present and things to come, mino. Yea. further than that, it means a peaceful death. Mrs. Hemans. Mrs. SI- , gourney. Dr. Young and almost all the poets have said handsome things about death. There is nothing beautilul about it. When wo stand by the white and rigid features of those whom we love, and they give no an swering pressure of the hand and no re turning kiss ot .the lip, we do not want anybody poetizing round about u Death is loathsomeness and midnight nnd the wringing of the heart un til the tendrils snnp and curl in the torture unless Christ shall bo with us. I confess to you an infinite fear, a consuming horror of death unless Christ shall be with me. I would rather go down Into a cave ot wild beasts or a jungle of reptiles than into the grave unless Christ goes with me. Will you tell me that I am to be carried out from my bright home and put away in the darkness I cannot bear darkness. At the first coming of tho evening 1 must have the gas lighted, nnd the farther on in life I get the more Hike to have my friends round about me. And am I to be put off for thousands of years in a dark plnoe, with no one to speak to? When the holidays come and the gifts nre distributed, shall I add no joy to the "Merry Christmas" or the "Happy New Year?' Ah, do not point down to the hole In the ground, the grave, and call It a beau tiful place. Unlessthere be some supernatu ral illumination I shudder back from it My n-hnlo nntnre revolts ai IT. iui now this clorious lamp is lifted above th3 grave, and all the darkness Is gone, and tr.e way Is clear. I look into it now without a single shudder. Now my anxiety is not about death ; my anxiety is thnt I may live aright. What power Is there in anything to cbill me in the last hour if Christ wraps around me tbe skirt ot His own garment W hat darkness can fall upon my eyelids then, amid the heavenly daybreak? O death, I will not fear thee t hen . Back to t hy cavern of dark ness, thou robber ot all the earth Fly, thou IT',,iw rtr f-mllle. With this battleax I hew thee in twain from helmet to sandal, the voice of Christ sounuing rii r earth and through tne nearens : w ueiu, will be thy plague.

We shall see the very face that buame 1 sym pathy In Bethany aud take the very hand that dropped its blood from the short beam of the cross. Oh, I want to stand in eternity with Him. Toward that harbor I ste-r. Toward that goal I run. I shall be satisflel when I awake in Hts likeness. Oh, broken hearted men and women, how sweet it will oe in that gool land to pour all of your hardships and bereavements anl losss into the loving ear ot Christ and then have Him explain why it was best for you to be sick, and why It was best for you to be widowed, and why it was best for you to be persecuted, and why it was best for you to be tried and have Him point to an elevation proportionate to your disquietude here, say ing, ''You suffered with Me on earth ; come up now and be glorified with Me in heaven." Someone went into a house where there had been a goo 1 deal ot trouble an I said to the woman there, "You seem to be lonely." "Yes," she said ; -I am lonely." "How many in the family?" "Only myself." 'Have tou had any children? ' "I had seven ... L J I l 1. A Wu..n children." Where are they?"' "Gone. "All gone?" "All." "All dead' "All." Then she breathed a Ions sigh Into the Lm -liness and said, "Ob. sir, I have been a goo J mother to the grave.' And so there are hearts here that are m- terly broken down by the bereavement of life.

B., says: The fishing schooner "Rigel," of Gloucester, Mass., arrived Wednesday morning with the passen gers and crew of tho ill-fated steam ship "Miranda," which left New York July 7, carrying Dr. Cook's arctic ex ploration rtartv. The Miranda left Sukker Tappan, Greenland, August 9, for Holstenberg. The vessel struck a sunken rock out side of the harbor. There was a heavy wind and sea prevailing, and a large hole was stove in the bottom, and the ballast tank was filled with water. The pumps were useless. Tho tank did not burst and the Miranda suc ceeded in getting back into Tappan safely, but was not regarded as lit to return to St. Johns with her passengers. A relief party, consisting of Drs. Wok, Rogers, Thompson and Dunning, of Yale Uni versity, Lod, of Harvard and Porter, of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nolgy, set out from Sukker Tappan to Holstenberg, 140 miles distant, with five Esquimaux in an open boat, for assistance. The journey was made in five days under stormy conditions. The schooner "Rigel" was by chance met with. The passengers and food were transferred to the "Rigel" and the "Miranda" then started for Labra dor with the "Rigel" in tow. On ac count of the bursting of the water tank of the "Miranda" the prew and officers were transferred to the "Rigel" August 23, and the "Miranda" was left to her fate. BURYING CILVRRED BODIES.
