Lim.E Rock , Arlc , Aug L A state ment was widely published by the press a few days ago that President G. L. Greea of the Connecticut Life Insurance Company of Hartford , had issued a circular letter to policy hold ers notifying them that in the event that the government adopted the free coinage of silver the com pany would be compelled to pay all claims in depreciated silver coin. Mr. F. W. Alsop of this city sent a clip ping of this statement to Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle , with a request for an expression on the subject. He has received a reply from Mr. Car lisle , which is , in part , a * follows : "In case free coinage of silver should be established in this country , I pre sume insurance companies and all other institutions would continue to make their payments by checks and drafts on banks as heretofore ; but in my opinion the- whole volume of our currency would sink at once to the silver basis , and those checks and drafts would be paid in silver dollars or their equivalent , instead of gold or its equivalent , as is now the case. "I presume no one supposes for a moment that it would be the duty of the government to attempt to keep the standard silver dollar , coined free for private individuals and corporations equal in value to a gold dollar ; or , in other words , that it would be the duty of the government to attempt , under a system of free coinage , to main tain the parity of the two metals. The dollars would be coined on private account and delivered to private indi viduals and corporations as their own property , the government having no interest whatever in them , and being , therefore , under no obligation to sus tain them by guaranteeing their value. "Under our existing system , all sil ver dollars are coined on account of the government and are issued by the government in payment of its expend itures and other obligations , and it would be aa act of bad faith , there fore , to nermit them to depreciate.

A severe storm , like a cloud btirst , oc curred west of this city yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock and within a period of thirty minutes a mighty torrent of water had spread desola tion along both Parmar ' s and Fisher's runs in the lower part of this city. No lives were lost , as there were per sons along the creeks who saw the water coming down the valley , and ran from house to house warning the people.

From the Text , "Abide With U for It Ig rotrnrd Kvenlnc" Luke 24:29 Lightening of the Sorrow * of Life hy the Gospel. % L rT WO villagers , hav ing concluded their errand In Jerusa lem , have started out at the city gate and are on their way to Emmaub , the place of their residence. They go with a sad heart. Jesus , who had been Y ? ' ' ' their admiration and their jty , had been basely massa cred and entombed. As with sad face and broken heart they pass on their way , a stranger accosts them. They tell him their anxieties and bitterness of soul. He in turn talks to them , mightily expounding the Scriptures. He throws over them the fascination of intelligent conversation. They forget the time , and notice not the objects they pass , and before they are aware , have come up in front of their house. They pause before the entrance and at tempt to persuade the stranger to tarry with them. They press upon him their hospitalities. Night is coming on , and he may meet a prowling wild oeast. or be obliged to lie unsheltered from the dew. He cannot go much further now. Why not stop there , and continue their pleasant conversation ? They take him by the arm and they insist upon his coming in , addressing him in the words : "Abide with us , for it is to ward evening. " The candles are lighted , the table is spread , pleasant socialities are en kindled. They rejoice in the presence of the stranger guest. He asks a bless ing upon the bread they eat , and he hands a piece of it to each. Suddenly and with overwhelming power the thought flashes. upon the .astonished people it is the Lord ! And as they sit in breathless wonder , looking upon the resurrected body of Jesus , he vanished. The interview ended. He was gone. With many of us it Is a bright , sun shiny day of prosperity. There is not a cloud in the sky , not a leaf rustling in the forest. No chill in the air. But we cannot expect all this to last. He is not an intelligent man who expects perpetual daylight of joy. The sun will after awhile near the horizon. The shadows will lengthen. While I speak , many of us stand in the very hour described in the text , "for it is toward evening. " The request of the text is appropriate for some before me. For with them it is toward the evning of old age. They have passed the merid ian of life. They are sometimes startled to think how old they are. They do not , however , like to have others re mark upon it. If others suggest their approximation toward venerable ap pearance , they say , "Why , I'm not so old , after all. " They do , indeed , no tice that they cannot lift quite so much as once. They cannot read quite so well without spectacles. They cannot so easily recover from a cough or any occasional ailment. They have lost their taste for merrimenL They are surprised at the quick passage of the year. They say that it only seems a little while ago that they were boys. They are going a little down hill. There is something in their health , something in their vision , something in their walk , something in their changing associa tions , something above , something be neath , something within , to remind them that it is toward evening. The great want of all such is to have Jesus abide with them. It is a dis mal thing to be getting old without the rejuvenating influence of religion. When we step on the down grade of life and see that it dips to the verge of the cold river , we want to behold some one near who will help us across it. When the sight loses its power to glance and gather up , we need the faith that can illumine. When we feel the failure of the ear , we need the clear tones of that voice which in olden times broke up the silence of the deaf with cadence of mercy. When the axe men of death hew down whole forests of strength and beauty around us and we are left in solitude , we need the dove of divine mercy to sing in our branches. When the shadows begin to fall and we feel that the day is far spent , we need most of all to suppli cate the strong , beneficent Jesus in the praj-er of the villagers , "Abide with us , for it is toward evening. " The request of the text is an appro priate exclamation for all those who are approached in the gloomy hour of temptation. There is nothing easier then to be good-natured when every thing pleases , or to be humble when there is nothing to oppose us , or for giving when we have not been assailed , or honest when we have no induce ment to fraud. But you have felt the grapple of some temptation. Your na ture at some time quaked and groaned under the infernal force. Ycu felt that the devil was after you. You saw your Christian graces retreating. You feared that you would fall in the aw ful "wrestle with sin and be thrown into the dust The gloom thickened. The first indications of the night were seen in all the trembling of your soul ; in all lie infernal suggestions df Sa tan , in all the surging up of tumultu ous passions and excitements , you felt with awful emphasis that it was to ward evening. In the tempted hour you need to ask Jesus to abide with you. You can beat back the monster that would devour you. You can un horse the sin that would ride you down. You can sharpen the battle-axe with which you split the head * of helmetcd abomination J Who helped Paul shake the brazen-gated heart of Felix ? Who acted like a coed sailor when all the crew howled In the Med iterranean shipwreck ? W7ho helped the martyrs to be firm when one word of recantation would have unfastened the withes of the stake and put out the kindling fire ? When the night of the soul came on and all the denizens of darkness came riding upon the winds of perdition who gave strength to the soul ? Who gave calmness to the heart ? Who broke the -spell of infernal en chantment ? He who heard the request of the villagers , "Abide with us , for it is toward evening. " You have long rejoiced in the care of a mother. You have done everything to make her last days happy. You have run with quick feet to wait upon her every want. Her presence has been a perpetual blessing in the house hold. But the fruit-gatherers are look ing wistfully at that tree. Her soul is ripe for heaven. The gates are ready to flash open for her entrance. But your soul sinks at the thought of a separation. You cannot bear to think that soon you will be called to take the last look at that face which from the first hour has looked upon you with af fection unchangeable. But you see that life is ebbing and the grave will soon hide her from your sight. You sit quiet. You feel heavy-hearted. The light is fading from the sky. The air is chill. It is toward evening. You had a considerable estate and felt independent. In five minutes on one fair balance-sheet you could see just how you stood in the world. But there came complications. Something that you imagined impossible hap pened. The best friend you had proved traitor to your interests. A sudden crash of national misfortunes pros trated your credit. You may today be going on in business , but you feel anx ious about where you are standing , and fear that the next turning of the wheel will bring you prostrate. You foresee what you consider certain defalcation. You think of the anguish of telling your friends you are not worth a dollar. You know not how you will ever bring your children home from school. You wonder how you will stand the selling of your library or the moving into a plainer house. The misfortunes of life have accumulated. You wonder what makes the sky so dark. It is toward evening. Trouble is an apothecary that mixes a great many draughts , bitter and sour and nauseous , and you must drink some one of them. Trouble puts up a great many packs , and you must carry some one of them. There is no sandal so thick and well adjusted but some thorn will strike through it. There is no sound so sweet but the undertak er's screw-driver grates through it. In this swift shuttle of the human heart some of the threads must break. The journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus will soon be ended. Our Bible , our common-sense , our observation reiter ate in tones that we cannot mistake , and ought not to disregard. It is to ward evening. Oh , then , for Jesus to abide with us. He sweetens the cup. He extracts the thorn. He wipes the tear. He hushes the tempest. Ho soothes the soul that flies to him for shelter. Let the night swoop and the euroclydon cross the sea. Let the thunders roar soon all will be well. Christ in the ship to soothe his friends. Christ on the sea to stop its tumult. Christ in the grave to scat ter the darkness. Christ in the heav ens to lead the way. Blessed all such. His arms will enclose them , his grace comfort , them , his light cheer them , his sacrifice free them , his glory en chant them. If earthly estate takes wings , he will be an incorruptible treas ure. If friends die , he will be their resurrection. Standing with us in the morning of cur joy and in the noon day of our prosperity , he will not for sake us when the lustre has faded and it is toward evening. # * * This ought not to be a depressing theme. WTio wants to live here for ever ? The world has always treated me well , and every day I feel less anu less like scolding and complaining. But yet I would not want to make this my eternal residence. I love to watch the clouds , and bathe my soul in the blue sea of heaven ; but I expect when the firmament is rolled away as a scroll to see a new heaven , grander , higher and more glorious. You ought to be willing to exchange your body that has headaches and sideaches and weaknesses - • nesses innumerable , that limps with the stonebru3e , or festers with the thorn , or flames on the funeral pyre of fevers , for an incorruptible body and an eye that blinks not before the jas per gates and the great white throne. But between that and this there is an hour about which no man should be reckless or foolhardy. I doubt not your courage , but I tell you that you will want something better than a stroag arm , a good aim and a trusty sword when you come to your last battle. You will need a better robe than any you have in your wardrobe to keep you warm in that place. Circumstances do not make so much difference. It may be a bright day when you push off from the planet , or it may be a dark night and while the owl is hooting from the forest. It may be spring , and your soul may go out among the blossoms , apple-or chards swinging their censers in the way. It may be winter and the earth in a snow shroud. It may be autumn , and the forests set on fire by the retreating year ; dead nature laid out in state. It may be with your wife's hand in your hand , or you may be in a strange hotel with a servant faithful to the , last. It may be in the rail train , shot off the switch and tumbling in long reverberation down the embankment crash ! crash ! I know not the time ; I know not the mode ; but the days of our life are be ing subtracted away and we shall come down to the time when we have but ten days left , then nine days , then eight days , then seven days , six day ? ; five days , four days , three days , tw : days , one day. Then hours ; three hours , two hours , one hour. Then only minutes left ; five minutes , four min utes , three minutes , two minutes , one minute. Then only seconds left ; four seconds , three seconds , two seconds , one second. Gone ! The chapter of life ended ! The book closed ! The pulses at rest ! The feet through with the journey ! The hands closed from all work. No word on the lips. No breath In the nostrils. Hair combed back to lie undisheveled by any human hands. The muscles stTll. The nerves still. The lungs still. The tongue still. All still. You might put the stethoscope to the breast and hear no sound. You might put a speaking-trumpet to ths ear , but you could not wake the deafness. No motion ; no throb ; no life. Still ! still ! So death comes to the disciple ! What if the sun of life Is about to set ? Jesus- is the day-spring from on high ; the per petual morning of every ransomed spirit. What if the darkness comes ? Jesus is the light of the world and of heaven. WTiat though this earthly house does crumble ! Jesus has pre pared a house of many mansions. Jesus is the anchor that always holds. Jesus is the light that is never eclipsed. Jesus is the fountain that is never ex hausted. Jesus is the "evening star , hung up amid the gloom of the gath ering night" You are almost through with the abuse and backbiting of enemies. They will call you no more by evil names. Your good deeds will no longer be mis interpreted nor your honor filched. The troubles of earth will end in the felici ties ! Toward evening ! The bereave ments of earth will soon be liftnd. You will not much longer stand pouring your grief in the tomb , like Rachel weeping for her children or David mourning for Absalom. Broken hearts bound up. Wounds healed. Tears wiped away. Sorrows terminated. Nc more sounding of the dead march ! To ward evening. Death will come , sweet as slumber to the eyelids of the babe , as full rations to a starving soldier , as evening hour to the exhausted work man. The sky will take on its sunset glow , every cloud a fire-psalm , every lake a glassy mirror ; the forests trans figured ; delicate mists climbing the air. Your friends will announce it ; your pulses will beat it ; your joys will ring it ; your lips will whisper it : "Toward evening ! " FASHION'S FRILLS. A special feature of the summer fabrics is the transparent effect. - Weli-dressed women are wearing more jewelry than they have in many years. Chatelaine bags of monkey skin , with rcf.s-gilding clasps , have numer ous adherents. The belt buckles and clasps enam eled in dull reds , blues and greens def'y description. Vandyke collars of ecru and white batiste , trimmed with lace and inser tion , are made to wear over thin sum mer gowns. Tulle and chiffon , with a satin edge , are sold by the hundred yards for neck ruches and frillings on capes , parasols and gowns. Leather belts are embroidered with gold and silver beads , and white kid belts , set with blue enamel traced with gold , are the latest fancy. Belt buckles and cuff buttons for shirt waists simulate in their enamel decorations the coats of arms or flags of the different nations or the insignia nf the army or navy.
