Sledge-Hammer Preaching.

TIE most popular Of English preachers
is the celebrated DR.. Spurgeon-ceIebra-
ted because Of the homeiy and forciols
wav he has Of approaching the under.
standing OF bis congregation. The fol.
lowing passages occurred in one Of his
recent disco urses T:
"a certain tyrant sent for one Of his
subjects, and said to him "Wba, is your
employment He said IL am black.
smith" "Go home and make me a chain
Of such a length" He went home; it
occupied several months, and lie had no
wages all the time he was making it,
Then he brought it TO the moIarch, ana
he said 4: "Go make it twice as long."-
He brought it up again, and the mon arch
said: "Go make it longer still" Each
time he brought it, there was nothing but
the command to make it Longer STILL
And when he brought it up at last the
monarch said: "Taks it and bind him
hand and foot with it, and cast him into
a furnace Of FIRE" These are the wages
for making the chain. Here is meditation
for you to night, We servants Of the devil.
Your master, the devil, is telling you to
make chain. Some have been fifty
years welding the link Of the cha in, and
he says: "Go make it longer" Next
Sabbath morning you will open that
shop Of yours, and pull another link /;
next Sabbath morning YOU will be drunk !,
and put another link; next Monday you
will do dishonored action and so you
will keep on making fresh links 80 tbis
cham and when you have lived twenty
wears more the devil will say More
links on STILL" And then at last it will
be "Take him, and bind him hand and
foot, and cast him into the furnace Of fire."
"Foi the wages Of sin is death" There
is a subject for your meditation. ! DO
not think il will be sweet; but IL Gcd
makes it profitable, it will do you good.
You must have strong medicine some.
times, when the disease is bad. God ap.
ply it to your hearts"

Heavy Crops in the West.

1t must be matter OF congratulation
with our impoverished planters to know
that the great grain fields of the West
have produced an abundant harvest, and
that the prospect Of low priced corn for
the next year is good. Our Western ex.
changes report large crops OF all the diff.
erent cereals, in that tesming section, aud
we have no doubt but that provisions, and
particularly corn, will be cheaper than
for some time past.
The Dubuque Herald in. a recent is,
sue, says:
"We are informed that both the Du.
buque and DunIeith elevators are full to
overfowing, and the same ca, be said Of
every elevator on the line Of the Dubu.
que and Sioux City and South western
Railroad. The Illinois Central have not
more than half cars enough to ship the
grain, hence it is allowed to accumulate.
The same evils which have cursed our
Western producers ia former years arc
arising this fall with redoubled force,
namely, insufficient transportation for
their products"
In East Tennessee and in Kentucky,
the corn cropis larger than ever known
before. We learn that corn can be bought
in East Tennessee for twenty cents per
bushel. The freight on il to Middle
Georgia cannot be, we would suppose =,
more than thirty to forty CENTS Even at
the latter figure. corn might be laid down
on the different lines of our railroads a
cost Of from sixty to eighty cents, int
eluding sacks.
1t would be better for our planters in
each coun'y and neighborhood, who have
to buy corn, to agree among themselves
how much they need, and send an agent
to make the purchase for the whole a.
mount required for each County or neigh
borhood. In this way. we have no doubt
that the corn necessary for the cultva.
ton OF the next crop can be purchased
for about one half the price it is now sell.
ing at in our large cities. TIE eyperi-
ment is at least worth trial.

Nation. Thsv are the best testimony Of
the power and resources OF the country
We have. The grumblers at the heavy
taxes should read, and reading, be ,hauk,

On April lat 1896 the public debt
WAS 27o5 $4,000. BY that time all
the large claims and disputed accounts

debt. Reductions were successiveIy re,
ported in June, July, August aud Sep,

tsry reports that the aggregate has been
brought down to $2.563,336. QUO, being
a reduction. in six months, Of no less a
sum than $l3s.3Os,574. A further re-
duction Of $22.5Oo.OOo (beiug the tenn
pora'y deposits a, 4 per. cent? will be
made on the 25th of this month the
money is on hand for the purpose; so
that on lst of November the public debt
will be at least $l6o.so9.574 less than
it WAS on lst Of April last.
At this rate we are reducing our deb,
b~ sum OF $275,Ooo,OoO annually
Should We continue to do so, the entire
debt will be paid off in about eight years

The Louisville Journal corrects an or.
roneous impression that prevails in tho
minds Of many persons who speak and
write as II The Congressional elections 90.
curing this fall would affect the charae.
te, Of the Congress that meets in Decem.
ber. The only i.fuence thei- elections
can have upon that body Is moral in.
6uence. The same members that com.
posed the last session Of Congress will
constitute the neyt, except in those cases
where vacancies have occurred and been
filled by special elections. The persons
elected this fall to Congress will not have
seats in the present Congress--wi,h the
exception just MENTIONED. The political
complexion Of the next session will oe,
therefore, the same as that Of the last
session.
