Napoleon has one fixed
idea which has almost become
a maxim /; that is the discovery
OF some terrible engine of war
fare, some extraordinary mus
ket or cannon. He is theoreti-
cally and practically one of the
most skillful artillerymen ofthe
day and he bends his energies
toward the perfection of that
branch of military science I'M
ceasingly. 1t will be borne in
mind that he was among the
first to use rifled cannon, to the
efficacy of which he owed, in a
great measure, the brilliant
series OF victories which mark
ed the campaign Of 1859, as
one OF the most successful the
French may boast of. At the
Tulleries, at Fontainebleau, at
Compiegne, and at st. Cloud,
there are rooms which may be
termed arsenals, so filed are
they with the arms which the
Emperor has invented, bought
or received from those who are
aware of his passionate desire
to examine and try every spe-
ciesof firearms. He is some
what of an alchemist, and at
times, diligently endeavors to
fabricate explosive substances
of unheard-of power, but the
constant requirements of office,
the retinue of imperial life,
take him away, perforce, from
his cherished pursuits.

SLEDGE HAMMER PREACH
NG-The most popular of
English preachers is the eele-
brated DIR. Spurgeon-celebrat-
ed because of the homely and
forcible wayne has of approach
ing the understanding of his
congregation. The following
passage occurred in one of his
recent discourses
A certain tyrant sent for one
ofhis subjects, and said to him:
"What is your employment 2"
He said: 81 am a blacksmith"
go home and makeme a chain
of such a length" He went
home; it occupied him several
months and he had no wages
all the time he was making it.
Then he brought it to the mon
arch, and he said: $50 make
it twice as long, He brought
it up again, and the monarch
said, "Go make itlonger STILL"
Each time he brought, there
was nothing but the command
to make it longer still. And
when he brought it up at last,
the monarch said, "Take it and
bind him hand and foot with
it, and cast him into a furnace
Of fire." These were the wages
for making the chain. Here is
a meditation for you, tonight,
ye servants of the devil. Your
master, the devil, is telling you
to make a chain. Some have
been fifty years Welding the
links of the chain. 600 make
it longer" Next Sabbath morn
ing you will open that shop of
yours and put another link ;
next Sabbath you will be drunk
and put another link next
Monday, you will do a dishon-
est action; and so you will
keep on making fresh links to
his chain /; and when YOU have
lived twenty years more the
devil will say, "More links on
still" And then, at lest, it
will be, "Take him and bind
him hand and foot, and cast
him into a furnace of fire."
There is a subject for your
meditation. / do not think it
will be sweet; but if God
it profitable, it will do
you good. You must have
medicine sometimes,
when the disease is bad. God
apply it to your hearts.
