Txx "la that nltjht tt.is Blsbazzir, the King of the Chaldean3. slain." Daniel, ., 80. Night was about to com down on Baby lon. The shadows of her 200 lowers bejjan to lengrthen. Th Euphrates roll?i od, touched by the fiery splendors of the setting sun, and pates of foras.a, burnisheJ ani plit tTinjf, opened and shut Iik fioora of flam. Thi hanln? gardens, of Babylon, wet with t ho heavy dew, be:an to pour from starlit flowers and Jri,pin? Iaf a frarane for many rnites around. Tbe streets and squares were lighted for drtnci and froli; and proon- nade. The theater.- and galleries of art Invited the wealrh and pomp and grandeur of tbe city to rare entertainment?. feene3 of riot and wassail wera rninglel in every fctreet, and godless mirth and outraeou? excess and ppb'tidid w ickedness came to the king's palace to do their m'htlest ieeia of darkness. A royal fea-t to-nitjht at the king's palace! Bushing up to the gates are'ehariots, uphol stered with precious cloths from Dedan, and drawn by flro eyed horca from Togarmah, that rear and neigh in the grasp of the char ioteers, while a thousand lords dismount, and women, dressed In a'l the splendors of Syrian emerald, and the cotor blending of agate, and the cbasteness of coral, and the eomber glory of Tyrian purple and princely embroideries, brought from a.'ar by camels across the desert and by ehips of Tarshish across tne sea. Open wide the gates and let the guests come in. The chamb?rlain3 and cupbearers are all ready. Hark to the rustle of the silk", and to the carol of the music! Sag the blazi of the jewels! Lift tha bannnr.. Fill the cups, ('lap the cvaibals. Blow the trum pets. Let the night go by with song na 1 dance and ovation, and let that I! ibybniLsh tongue le palsied that will not say, "O King Eeifhay.znr, live forever!" Ab, my fri'ii !.. it was not any common b.uiquet to which the.e grat people CRme! All parts of the earth had sent their richest viands to that table. Brackets and chnndc lifrs flfu-hrd their light upon tankar.'s of I urnished gold. Fruits, ripe and luscious, In baskets of Mlver, entwined with leaves, plucked frora loyal conservatories Vase?, inlaid with emerald and ridged with ex quisito traeeri"f filled with nuts that were thre.-hed from forests of distant lands. Wine brought from the royal vats, foam ing in the decanters and bubbling in the i.hali-p?. Tufts of cassia and frankincense, wafting their sweetness from wall and table. Gorgeous banners unfolding in the breeze that came through the. open win low, be witched with the perfumes of hanging gar dens. Fountains rising up from inclosures of ivory, in jets of crystal, to fa'I in clatter ing rain of diamonds and pearls. Statues of mighty men looking down from niches in the wall upon crowns and shields brought from subdued empires. Idols of wonderful work standing on pedestals of precious stones. Embroi Wies stooping about the win dows and wrnppiug pillars of cedar an 1 drifting on lloor inlaid with ivory and ag ate. Music, mingling with the thrum of harps, and the clash of cymbals, n 1 the blast of trumpets in one wave of transport that went rippling along the wall and breathing among the garlands and pouring down the corridors, and thrilling the souls of a thousand banqueter?. The signal is given, and the lords and In dies, the mighty men and wotnn of h:i land, come nround the tab!. Four out th: wine. Let foam and bubble kiss the rim! Hoist every one his cup aul drink to tin sentiment, '"O King Belsehazzar, live for ever!" Bestarred head haul and carcanet id royal beauty gleam to the tip liflel chalices, rs again, and again, and again they are emptied. Away with euro from the palace! Tear royal dignity to tatters! Pour out more wine! Give us more light, wilder music, sweeter perfume! Lord shouts to lord, cap tain ogles to captain. Goblets clash; de canter. rattle. There come in the obscene .song, and tho drunken hiccough, and the slavering lip. and the gufiV.rof idiotic laugh ter, bursting front the lips of princes, flushed, reeling, b'.oodshot, while mingling with it all I hear, "Huzza, huzza, for great Bl! shazzar!' What is that on tho plastering of tha wall? Is it a spirit? Is it a phantom? Is it Co i? Tho music stops. Tho goblets fa'I Irom the nervelef-s grasp. There is a thrill. There 13 a start. There is a thousand voiced shriek of horror. Let Daniel be brought in to read that writing. He comes in. He rt-ads if, "Weighed in the balance and foun t want ing." Meanwhile the Medes, who for two years had been laying siege to that eitv, took ad vantage of that carousal an 1 earn? iu. I hear the feet of tho con-ptsrors on the pa'ace stairs. Massacre rushes in with a thousau l gloaming knives. Death bursts upon ihs scene, and I shut tho door of that banquet ing ball, for I do n-i want to look. Th i'e is nothing there but torn baauers, an 1 bfok-.n wreaths, aud the slush of upset tankaiv'.-, and the id od of murdered women, au I th" kicked an t tumbled eaivass of a de.i I kiu . For "in that night was B?lshai52ar. thu kin,' of the Chaldeans, slain." 1 go on to iearu some lessons from all this. I leurn that when God writes anything cm the wall a man had bettvr rea l it as it is. Daniel did not misinterpret or modify tho handwriting on the wall. It is all foolish ness to expect a miuister of the gospel to "reach always things that the people like or the people choose. Vouug men of Washington, what shall 1 preach to you to-i4-hi? Shall I tell you of the dignity of human nature? Shall I tell you of the wonders that our race hai accomplished? "Oh, no," you say. "Tell me the message that camo from GoJ." I will. If thorn is auy handwriting oa th wall, it is this lesson: "Bepent! Accept of Christ and be saved!'' I might iuk of a great many oth-r things, but that is the mo;-.-age. and so I declare it. Jesus never flat tered thosct to whom 11-3 preached. Ho sai l to those who did wrong and who were offen sive in His sight: "Ye generation of viper?. Ye whtted sepulehers! How can ye es eaj e the damnation of hell:" Paul the npo-tle preached before a ma u who was not ready to hear him preach. What subject did betake? Did he stv: "Ob. vou area good man, a very line man. a v?ry noble man?" N Hjprachl of righteousness to a man who w-ts tinrighte his of te.nir- huco to a man who was a victim of bai an- I'Ctite.s, of the judgment to come to a man who was uutit for it. So we inu't always dt-rlar- the message t!iat happens to come to us. I'an-.ei must real it as it is. A nvnist preached before Jame.s I. of F.ucland. who was Jam- VI. of S 'ollau l. What subject did he take Tne king was noUJ nil over tu world for being uuettle, I and wavering in his ideas. What did the minister preach about to this man who was James I. of Eng land nud James VI. of Scotland? He too- for his text Ja nes i., 6: "il- that wavereth is like a' wave of thx a driven with th wind and tossed." Hugh Latimer offended the king by a sermon he preachel. an I th1? king said, "Hugh Latimer, como an J apologize." "I wd'." said nuh Lati mer. So the lay was appointed, ant tho kiug's chapel was full of lords and dukes and the tnishtymei and women of the country, for Hugh Latimer was to apo'ixiz. He began his sermon by saying: "Hu-ja Latimer, bethink thse! Thou art in the presence of thin? earthly kin;, who can de stroy thy boly. But bethink thee, Hugh Lat'.mer. that thou art in th presence of the King of heaven au t earih . who can destroy both b.vdy and soul in hell Ore.' Then be prc:t:hed With appalling directness at the king's crimes. Another lesson that comes to us to-night there is a gr.'at difference between the open ing of the banquet of sin art I its ctos. Voting rasn, if you had looked in upon th- banquet in the first few hours, you woul I nave wisbe I you had been invited there an could sit at the feast. "Oh, the grani-nr of Belshazzar's feast!" you would have said, but you. look in at the elos of the banquet ani your blool curdles with hor ror. The king of terrors ha there a ghast lier banquet. Human b'ood is the wine ami dving groans are tha music. Sia hasma l J'e!f a king in the eartb. It Lis crowne l t-'lf. It has spread a binqu-f. It Invites HI th world to come to it. It has bung in its ban (uoiing ha"l th spoils of all king dn,p ami the banners of all Nations It has Katherei ,'rom all music. It has strewn from ts wealth the tiblea nid floors snl arches. Au l yet how often is that hnviet brok-n up and how horrible is m on I! F.ver :'bd an a ihcre is a baudwriting on the wall. ,A k,,i ' fil,ls- A grat culprit i., arreted. 1 he knees of wickedness knock together. God's judgment, like an armelhost. breads In upon the banquet, and that night is B -1-sbarxar. tbe king of the Chald-Jins. hlaia. Here Is .1 young mao who says: "i cannot see why they make such a fas? a"out the in toxicating cup. AVby, it is exhilarating! It makes me feel well. I can talk better, think better, feel better. I cannot sse why people have such a prejudice against it." A few years pass on, and he wakes up and flndi himself in the clutches of an evil habit which h9 tries to break, but cannot, and he cries out, "O Lord God. help me!" It seems as though God wouM not hear his prayer, and in an agony of body and soul he cries cut, "It biteth like a serpent, and ptingeth like an adder." How bright it was at the start! How black it was at the last! Here is a man who begins to real loose novels "They are so charmin?." he says. "I will go out and see for rriy3elf whether all these things are so." He opens the ga'e of a sinful life. He goes in. A sinful sprite meets him with her wand. Sae waves hr wand, and it is all enchantment. Why, it seems as if the angels of Go 1 had poure 1 out viafo of perfume in th-? atmosphere. As he walks on he finds the hills becoming more radiant with foliage and the ravines more resonant with the falling water. Ob. what a charging landscape he sees! Bat that sinful sprite, with her wand, meets him again, but now she reverses tho wand, and all the enchantment is gone. The cup is full of poison. Tho fruit turns to ashes. All the leaves of the bower are forke t tongues of hissing eerpents. The flowing fountains fall back in a dead pool stenchful with corruption. The luring songs become curses and screams ot demoniac laughter. Lost spirits gather about htm and feel for his heart and beckon him on with "Hall brother! Hail, blasted spirit, hall!" He tries to get out. He cornea to th front door where he entered and tries to push it back, but tho door turns against htm, ani in the jar ot that shutting door he hears these words. "This night is Belahazzar, tho king of the Chaldeans, slain." Sin may open bright a? the morning. It ends dark as the night! I leatn further from this subject that death sometimes breaks in upon a banquet. Why did he not go down to the prisons in Baby lon? There were people there that would like to have died. I suppose there were men and women in torture in that city who would have welcomed death, but he conies to the palace, and just at the lime when tho mirth is dashing to the tiptop pitch death breaks in at the banquet. Wo have often seen the same thing illustrated. Hera is a young man just come from college. II i is kind. He is loving. He Is enthusiastic. Ho is eloquent. By one spring he may bound to heights toward which many men have been struggling for years. A profes sion opens before him. He is established in the law4 nis friends cheer him. Eminent men encourage him. After awhile you may see him standing in the American Senate or moving a popular assemblage by his elo quence, as trees are moved in a whirlwind. Some night ho retires early. A fever is on him. Delirium, like a reckless charioteer, seizes the reins of his intellect. Father and mother stand by and see the tides of hislie jroing out to the great ocean. The banquet is coming to an end. Tho lights of thought and mirth and eloquence are being extin guished. The garlands are snatcned from the brow. The vision is gone. Death at the banquet! We saw the same thing on a larger scaie- illustrated in our Civil War. Our whole Na tion had been sitting at a National banquet North. South. East and West. Av hat grain was there but we grew it on our hills? What invention was thero but our rivers must turn the new wheal and rattle the stranga shuttle? What warm furs but our traders must bring them from tho Arctic? What fish but our net3 must sweep them lor ta s markets? What musio but it must sing iu our halls? What eloquence but it must speak in our sonatosr Ho, to the Na tional banquet, reaching from moun tain to mountain and from sea to sea! To prepare that banquet, the sheepfolds aud the aviarie3 of the country sent their be.it treasures. The orchards piled up ou the table their sweet fruits. The presses burst out with new wines. To sit at that table came the yeomaury of New Hamp shire, and the lumbarmeu of Maiue, and the Carolinian from the rice plantation, and the Western emigrant from the pines of Oregon, and we were all brothers brothers at a banquet. Sud denly the feast ended. What meant those mounds thrown up at Chickamauga. S'ailoh, Atlanta. Gettysburg, South Mouutain? What meant those golden grain fields turned iuto a pasturing ground for cavalry horses? What meant tho cornfields irtillied with tha wheels of the heavy supply train? Why those rivers of tears those lakes of blood? God was angry! Justice must come. A handwriting on the wall! The Na tion had been weighed and found wanting. Darkness! Darkness! Woe to the North! Woe to the S3uth! Woe to tho Eat! Woe to th-3 West! Djaih at the banquot. 1 have also to learn from the subject that tho destruction of the vicious ani of thosa who despise God will be very sudden. The wave of mirth had dashed to the highest point when the invading army broko through. It was uuexpacied. Suddenly, almost always, eomes the doom of those who despise God nud defy tho laws of men. How was it at tho deluge? Dd you suppose it ct:yo through a long northeast storm, sc that people for days before wero sure it w:i5. coining? No, I supposs the morning wa-: brigiit; that calmness brooded on the waters; that beauty sat enthroned ou tha hills, when suddenly tuo heavens burst and the moan taiuh, sank jike anchors into the sea thai t'a -hii.l clear over the Audes and the Himala- as. The Bed Sea was divided. The FVyptians tried to cross it. There could be no danger. The Israelites had just gonothrough. Where they had gone, why not tho Egyptians? Ob, it was wucli a beautiful walking place! A pavement of tinged shells nnl pearls, aud ou either sid'j two great walls of water solid. There can b3 , no danger. Forward, groat host of tho - Egyptians! Clap th.i cymbals and blow the trumpets o victory! Artjrtheai' Wo will catch them yet, nnl they shall be destroyed. But the walls bgin to tremble! They rock' They fall! The rushing waters! The shriek of drowning men! The swimming of the war horses in Vd-u for th'3 shore! The strewing of the great host on tho bottom of the sea, or pitched by th angry wave on the beach a battered, bru'sjd ant loathsome wreck! Su Idenly destruction came. One hall hour before they coul t not have b?lieva J it. De stroyed, and without ryme Jy. The destroying angel went through Egypt. Do you suppose that any ol the people knjw that He was coming? Did they hear the flap of His great wing? No! No! Suddenly; un expectedly. He came. Skilled sportsmen do not like to .shoot a bird standing on a sprig near-by. If they are skilled, they pride themselves on taking it 0:1 the win?, and they wait till it starts. Death is an old sporiman and ba loves to t ake men flying under the very sun. He lovs to take them on the wing. O-i, flee to Gul this night! If there be oue in this prsen::e who has wandered far away from Chri-t. thuea he may not have heard the call of the gospel for many a year, t invite him now to come and be saved. Flee from thy sin! Flee to the stronghold of the irospel! Now is the ac cepted time. Now is the'dsv of salvation. Good night, my young friends; may you have rosy sleep, guarded by Him who never sulmbers! May you awake in the morning strong an t well! But. oh, art thou a de spiser of God? Is this thy last night ou earth? Shouldst thou be awakened in the night by something, thou knowest not what, ani there be saadows Coating in tha room, and a handwriting on the wall, and you feel that your last hour is come, and there be a fainting at the heart, and a tremor in th- limb, and a catching of the breath then thy doom would le but an echo of the words of the text: "In that night was Bebmazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, slain." Oh, that my Lord Jesus would nw make nimself so attractive to your souls that you cannot resist nim, rq! if you have naver prayed before or have not prayed sine those days when you knelt down at your mother's knee, then that to-night you might pray, saying: J ust as 1 am. without one plea But that Thy blood Vas shed for m .an-i mat inou di 1st my jra? to The- U Lamb of God, I com" But if you cannot think o! siong a praver a that.

THE MAttCH OF PROGRESS BE WILDERS Hill. He Talks of Manj Interesting Thin, Among Them Silver and Gold. I witnessed the street pageant of Buffalo Bdl's "Wild Wet" show. I suppose there were 50,000 peop'e who did tbe tame thing. That much was free, and quite enough for me. Somehow I have b-et juy appetite for cironee end other Fpectacu'ar amusement. The time wis wh n I nrVc r miwed one if I could help it; but m wl prefer to see things that provoke thought i ustl of enr.b i. The wondcra of tbe eihib.ts in the exposition, the progress of man kind in tbe arts and sciences fill the mind with pleasant contemplation. When the telegraph wires fii at reached our town we felt sure that there was nothing ehe to invent or discover; that tio'Li ig more was needed. Bat so many worderful and useful things have piled up on us since tha- now we live in a state of expect ar.cv. What will come next? When I was a boy we studied a philosophy which Knid that the load must be near tbe power, and there was a picture of a horte try ing to pull a bag of sand by a rope that was 1 00 yards Ion g &nd he couldn't move it Now we read that the power from the electrio plant at Niagara is toon to pall all the boats on the great Erie canal, and the thousands of hortea and muhe are to be 'Hicharged from their mo notonous service. More than tliis we read that this same rower is soon to supercede all other powers in loading and unloading the Tea sels in New York haibcr. If this power can reach New York from Niagara, why not reach acrofs the continent? How long before all our railway trains will be moved by it? There is sufficient wa'er power right h: re near arters ville to operate a plant inat would move all the wheels in Georgia. The children now at school will live to laugh at the simplicity and stupidi ty of their fathers and grandfathers Just as I now emilo at the recollection of the time when my father k pt a flint and steti and a piece of punk in a little tin box and would fctrike a tqmk aud light a candle when he wanted a light in the night. It is funny to think of the time when there were no matches. What would these cigarette boys do without matche ? Every dec ide brings cheaper methods and more comforts. Tho old rule that Adam Smith tiiight us iu hit "Wealth of Nations" was that providence bail wisely ordaiued that tbe labor of one man would ea&ily support eight persons, meaning himself and wife and six children. But bo wasent counting on $6 6hoes for tbe boys and $ 10 hats and balloon sleeves for the girls and a college education for both. The labor of the average man will not support eight poisons now, for notwithstanding the cheap n ss of things our wants are increasing ten fold. S:ephen Girard said that the way to get r.eh w as to buy nothing that you aro not ob liged to have, but wo leverse the maxim and buy too many things we are not obliged to have. While in the exposition I did want to buy a lot of 1 hose beautiful aluminium wareBformy wife, fur she do s love- pretty things and fine things, but I did nt have the money. I let her look at th m Mid only bought her a pepper box. Now"that reminds me of our troublo in the south. That aluminium clay is all about in our bills and is being mined and shipped every day to Pittsburg and there it is reduced and manufactured and the products come back to us with two freights and big profits added, .lust so with our manganese and ochre and lum ber and bides and most of our cotton and wool. We have got to manufacture our own mateiiala or we will never catch np. But we are making good progress in iron and cotton and maybe tho other plants will come along in time. I learn that SO per cent of that aluminium clay is wasted and thrown away in the process of re duction. Just think what a saving of freight there would be if we could reduce the metal at the mines. Wo would soon be the richest peo ple on the earth if we could manufacture our own materials. The labor is here, but it is idle. Our boys ate willing, but thoy cau'fc lind employment. It is astonishing how rapidly wealth increases when labor is rewarded. Look at a ruined htatelike Georgia was in 1865 aud now see what thirty years have done. Look at the ex position that has been planted with the money from one city and is now the wonder of tho nation. Where tloes all this money come from? Verily, it looks like Aladdin's lamp has come dowu to us and yet almost everybody is com plaining of hard times. I've been reading Jo tiephus again and I don't understand how Solo mon got all his money, for David was at war witli bomebody most all his life. Josephns say that silver was as plentiful in Jerusalem as the stones in the street. The temple was verlaid with gold and cost millions of dollars. Htrod H"ut a little present of ten millions of drachmae to Caesar. Hyrcanus Bent ten thou sand talents of gold. The Pharaohs built tbe pyramids for their own tombs, and one of theso look 100,000 men thirty-seven years to com plete it and it cost five hundred millions of dollars and is not worth a cent to anybody. The Aztecs of Mexico built some just as large. The ruins of them are still there and historians say they hid idoU on their topt that were thirty feet high and made of solid gold. There is a cathedral now in the City of Mexico that cost sixty millions of dollars. What a vast amount of money has been made from tho beginning down to the prcs eut time. Mankind began early to hunt for go'J, for Moses says in the sec oed chapter of Genesis that the gold of that land around Eden was good, aud I reckon old Adm dug for it and molded it and jingled i. in bis pocket. He never wore fig leavts long. John Knox, in his Geueva eddion of tho Bible, an edition that lasted fifty years and was very popu'ar, say3 that Adam aud Eve, when they kuewthat they were naked, made for them selves "breeches," aud eo, of course, th y bad pockets to carry their money in. O'd Slother Evo wore breeches then, and hjr offspring, the new woman.got her fashion riht straight from the garden of Eden. What will Dr. Hawthorne say about that? But silver came along in due time. Abraham bought tbe cave of Macpelah and paid 400 she kels of silver current money with the merchant . It was not coined, for he weighed it. I recko.i it w as granulated like wo used to bay gold half a century ago. My father was a merchant, and bought a great deal of fine gold from the miners, and most of it was in goose quills. The quill was trausp arent and bad a little wooden stopper, nd a good largo onoTerd about $10 worth. Josephns says that in his day gold and silver were coined at d damped- It was rough ly done, I reckon, for I ave a coin that is ;,fJ00 vears old. and it has v o; stantine on one side and two Boman lictors ru the other; and it is a rough job. Aluminium would make a beauti ful c m, and with tbe government stamp would be a handier coin than Bilver, for it is not half so heavy. It is the stamp that fixes the value. Irou and copjcr were used by the Greeks and Bomaus jat as we use nickel now. What a rumpus this question of currency has raise 1, and it came upon us this time to sud den and unexpected. Where all the gold is I drn't know, or I ne ver ree any of il. Nobody but the banker aud the United States tr. asury have any nse for it. or anything to do with it. It travels back and forth across the water in bags an I boxes aud settles the balances of trade with the banks and the merchant princes, tni that is what it is for, I reckon. I hav, u't seen but one piece in two years, and that wasn't mine. What good it is doing locked np in vaults I don't know, but I reckon it is all right- Tope said whatever is is right, and so I don't worry. We still live sni are on t of jail, and inereu peace ana harmony in the boute bol I and that is a biggir thing than gold or silver. iau. arf, in Atlanta Constitution. A Musical Dentist.
