n Lord listens and pardons, and no
/! sooner is the poor wretch pardoned
i than three of the great towers of
heaven strike up a silvery chime. But
here is a waif Of the street. She passes
under the gaslight, and your soul
shudders with q great horror. No
pity for her. No commiseration for
her. As she passes down the street,
she hears a songin a midnight mission,
and as she listens to that song she
hears:
AN may come, whoever will,
This Man receives poor sinners still.
She puts into that harbor, she
kneels by the rough bench near the
door, she says, 30, Lord! Thou who
didst have mercy ON Mary Magdalen,
take my blistered feet off the red hot
pavement of hell" God says, "My
daughter, thy sins are forgiven thee;
go in peace" Now all the fourtowers
OF heaven strike a silvery chime, and
they who pass through the celestial
streets say, "What's that? why, the
worst sinner must have been saved.
Hear all the four towers ring and ring
and ring" "And there is JOY in heav.
en- among the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth."
MY SUBJECT 1MPkEssEs YOU,
I think, with the thought that it is
possible for us to augment the happi-
ness of heaven. People think that
souls before the throne are as happy
as they can be. Ideny it. Look at
that mother before the throne ofGod.
When she died she left her son in this
world a vagabond. That son repent
ed of his iniquities and came to God.
The report OF that salvation has
reached heaven. Do you tell me that
mother before the throne of God has
not her Joy richly augmented?
My subject also impresses me with
the idea that heaven and earth are in
close sympathy. People talk of heav-
en- as though it were a great way off.
Christ says in one place it is not "a
hours distance, when he says to the
penitent thief. "This day shalt thou
be with me in Paradise" 1t is not a
day, it is not an hour, it is not a min.
ute, it is not a second. OF how near
heaven is to earth.
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that the salvation of the soul
is of vast Importance. If you should
make 100000 this year, do yousup-
pose that news would be
CARRIED TO HEAVEN.
1t would not be of enough import
ance or significance to be carried
heavenward. If at the next quadren.
NAL election you are made president
OF the United States, do you suppose
that news would be carriedt to heaven!
Do you suppose that the news of a
revolution in France or Spain would be
carried to heaven? These things are
not OF enough Importance, but there
is m item that is sure to be carried.
1t is the salvation of your soul, it is
your repentance before God. The fly
ing hoofs Of Gods couriers clash
through the gates and the news goes
from gate to mansion, and from man.
sion to temple, and from temple to
throne, and "there is Joy in heaven"
among the angels OF God over one sin
ner forgiven. It must be of vast i'm.
portance to be Of any moment in
heaven, your salvation, in that land
where gladnesses are the everyday &C.
currence, in that land where the com.
mon stones of the field are jasper, and
emerald, and chrysoprasus, and car.
buncle, and sardonyx. And yet, the
news of your salvation makes Joy be.

Need No clocks In Liberia.

Explorer Buttikoffer says tn at a
clock is rarely seen in the farm houses
of Liberia, and many OF the town
residents have no timepiece of any
sort. He adds that there are few civ
ilized countries where a timepiece can
be dispensed with so conveniently.
The sun rises at 6 a. m. and sets at 6
D. M. almost to the minute the year
round, and at noon it is vertically
overhead. Many OF the people become
so expert in telling time by the sun
that they are rarely more than a
quarter of an hour gut of the way. In
place Of the alarm clocks they depend
upon the Growing chanticleer to
arouse them in they morning.-New

DYING BY INCHES.
How a Man Felt Who Suffered

that the most trying time in ali his
experience was during the past five
weeks, when he stood hopelessly by
and saw apoor ranchman near uente
die by inches of what is known as pro-
gressive paralysis.
The patient was first taken in one
big toe. In q short time the limb was
paralyzed to the knee. Two physi-
clans were called, and all the known
remedies We're applied to stay the
progress Of the deadenlng attack, but
in vain. Hour by hour death moved
on its victim The patient was
propped up in an armchair and fully
realized his condition. He awaited
the end with the GOODNESS and bravery
Of amartyr. Asthelines ofdeath crept
nearer and nearer his heart he made
calculations as to howmuch longer he
could live. He said: "Now it has
reached the body" indicating the
exact place with his finger. In a little
while he said: cit has reached the

wait and he said family: "It has
reached my heart" and he fell over

The District Commissioners believe they see
in the proposed route of the Washington and
Georgetown Terminal Railway Company along
4 and Water streets in South Washington a
convenient, practical and inexpensive DISPOSE
tioa Of the long-existins railroad trouble in
South Washington This is in part the route
that was advocated by Maj. Twining and others
years ago and urged By the South Washington
Citizens Association, but without avail. The
Commissioners, however, go further and sug
gest line of track on 9Th street from the pres
emit passenger station to connect with the
tracks on X street. With the support Of the
District Commissioners the citizens who favor
the X and Water streets route might resume
their efforts with some hope of success. A
glance at the city map shows that the route
along h street to Water street and thence to
the Long bridge affords about the easiest and
most direct way from the tunnel at the Navy
Yard to the Long bridge. 1t indeed is some
what surprising that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company did not long ago vote itself
the right Of way over theae streets to
maintain an easy method Of making its through
freight connections with the south. The line
proposed, If it were the only line of track MAIN
tanned. would, as will be seen by a study of the

cut off and more or less injured by the railroad
When the plan was discussed six years ago the
proposition was made to require The railroad
company to purchase its right of way over the
intervening squares from the tunnel to Water
street and leave the streets as they now exist,
without railroad occupation. 1t was also pro-
posed that the road should be carried on via
duct over the greater portion of the route. so
~ to avoid the danger and nuisance of surface
tracks and grade crossings To adopt the new
route would be cheaper for the railroad than
to make along the streets and avenues

is likely to provoke the strongest opposition
FROM citizens ia the proposition that the whole
length Of 9th street from the prese mt passenger
station to street be surrendered to the rail-
road. In case there is any chance Of favorable
action by Congress on this plan, careful con-
sideration shOuld be given to this feature of it.

ton should be taken to reduce to the smallest
amount the annoyances and dangers that would
be incidental TO running railroad tracks across

the tracks on 9Th street and the building Of
bridges to carry over the cross streets the pro-
posed change would, when completed, leave
South Washington in better condition than that
promised by the elaborate plans made by the
Pennsylvania company. 1t might be better
still for the city if tine company was required
to purchase right Of way through the squares
between 9th and It'll streets extending from the
nam 70 .hs river front, and TINS relieve 9th
street entirely from occupation by tracks.

1t is a coincidence that Gen. Washington sent
troops to western Pennsylvania on account of
disturbance among the people near the
present site Of the Carnegie steel works, nearly
a hundred years ago. Gen. Washington at that
time wrote a letter Of instruction to Gen. Nor
gan, copy of which is published elsewhere in
