Taknage’s Hand Shaken For an Hour in the Tabernacle. “It is only a few hours ago.” said the Rev. Dr. Talmage yes terday morning, “that at mid night the doors of eternity open ed and let in to pass down the great avenue of departed cen turies the sou! of the dying year. Twelve strokes of the brass ham mer of the city clock and the old patriarch fell dead, and the stars of night were the funeral torches. “Fifty-two times has the clock struck for the week, each week with the golden, border of a Christmas Sabbath.

Year of assaSsihation, and Iliumph of eonflageration and harvest. AVe have garlands of amaranth and of cypress—(lie amaranth for joy and llie cypress for grief—and 1 put a garland on the brow ol (lie dead old year. Right beside llie grave of Hie dead year is the cradle of (he new. This season is to me lull of suggestions. If I live until next Saturday I shall be 50 years old, and if I live until next Friday 1 shall be keeping the first anni versury*bf my soils death. “The year has been a perpet ual harvest home to this church. I have tried to be worthy of your confidence and love—not by sycophancy or by consulting your prejudices, but by preaching straightforward Gospel, whoever it may hit. When a minister stand before a congregation who don’t believe in him, his useful ness is done. I knew one minis ter of religion who had four charges. The first two became extinct, the result of his minis try. The third was absolutely | crippled. The fourth was saved |by the fact ihat the minister de parted this life. On the other hand, there ore pastorates which continue strengthening year af fer year. .Such were those of old Dr. Spenser and Gardiner Spring. “We have during the past year, in this congregation, tried and shall try in years to come, the spirit of Christian sociality. There are churches where people" go and sit down as they would in a ferryboat, sine by side, with no idea of recognition, or grasping of the hand, or brotherly affec tion. They are simply ferried over by Christ’s ordinances. They behave like a man saved from a shipwreck, who walks up the beach to the fisherman’s hut, and sits down to warm him self, utterly reckless that there are fifty men struggling in the surf. The church ought to be a great home circle and the pu! pit a fireside. Fish go to schools, flowers to beds, and the stars in galaxies. Let ail who worship the Lord in churches move to get her. “In the past year 1 have tried to preach to von practical reli gion. I know that, you are busi ness men and women. There is no need of my dealing with abslrac tions wiien you have your annoy ances, perplexities, and aspera tions. I don’t care so much about the Hilfit os and the Jeb usites and the Gazites as I do for your personal needs. Suppose you have the diptheria ? A phy sician does not come in such a case and prescribe the cure for the smoll pox. So in religion there are specifies for every ill. “I knew a man who had helped many men out of their troubles. By aiul by his time came. Where were the people he had helped ? Gone in the country; not at home. Some came in and said, ‘God bless you.’ Honest, practical, influential help would have been worth fifty tons ol ‘God bless you.’ Nothing makes a man so mad as to siv to him ‘God bless you’ when it is you who ought to biess him. “I once knew a Christian man who got into business trouble He was worth hundreds ot thou sands one day and not a cent the next. He said, ‘Everything is gone.’ I said to him: Who built the fence around Hie village church? Who gave $3,000 to build the church ? It is not all gone. Y’on have made an invest ment for eternity.’ ” •• At the close of the sermon Dr. Talmagc announced to his con gregution that since, he would be prevented this year from receiv ing hie friends in the usual way. , he Would Ihen receive at the end ot the plaiforni ail who wished to greet him. In response to this announcement a very large por tion of tne congregation remain ed and passed i:i procession be fore Dr. ialmage, shaking him bv the hand and wishing him a happy New Tear. In this wav nearly an hour was spent. —New York Sun. Gilt-Edged Butter. It does not pay to make poor i butter. Oleomargarine, seine or butterine will outsell it everv lime, and Hte maker has no right lo complain it these imitations i bring a heller price ilian the apology for the butter he offers. But what is the use of making poor butler? It is true tiiat everv one cannot make an A 1 article ot gilt edged butter, but ordina rily with the right sort of appli ances, and with care and common intelligence, butler of fine quali ty may be produced by any one. There is, of course, vast differ ence between the milk of differ ent cows. The butter globules, it is claimed, are firmer in the milk ol the Jersey cow than of natives, or indeed of any other breed, and the butter is therefore firmer in (ex'ure. But this fact is against the keeping quality of Jersey butter unless more labor and care are used in working and salting it. as it. doos not as readi ly retain salt. Jersey butter should be used or consumed while fresh, as then its superior flavor is secured. Cleanliness is indespensable in making a fine, salable qnalty ol butter. The fine nutty-flavored butter so eagerly sought is made only where cleanliness is con spicuous. The food has more or j less to do with (he milk, and at | iho season when grass is liable !to fad from continuous dry ' weather, those who followed our ! suggestions in the spring and I put in evergreen, sweet corn and other suitable kinds for mid summer feeding lo cows, are no doubt deriving much benefit from it. Passing by the handling of the milk and cream, which has (re qnently been treated of in out columns of late, the next thing to be careful aoout is lo preserve the granules entire, as near as may be. The salt used should be clean and fine, and free from lumps, so that it will dissolve quickly and mingle with the but ler grains. The butter should not be nermitled lo stand expos ed to the air for the fault lo dis solve, tor it is liable to injury in this way. Nor should it be work ed too much, as tlie butter grains are thus broken. The bei-t butter—gilt-edged is made from cream taken from ibe milk while it is sweet, or Be fore acidity has been developed. The practice formerly was to skim a pan of milk until it was clabbered. When alt the cream is thrown up. the sooner it is re moved the better. If it stands longer the flavor generally is in jured by tiie acidity. The proper temperature —that, which has been found by experiment to be the best—for churning cream, is from 55 lo CO degrees.—Ameri can Farmer - - *—— The St. Paul Railroad Company lavs gained a lawsuit hi the United States court that presents a curious feature. A young utan was walking on the track of the road, when he was run over and killed, and his relatives sued the company for #IO,OOO damage's. Judge Love, in deciding the case, Held that the young man had no business | walking on other people's property, while [ the railroad company did have business j running Us trains there; that a railroad |is not a public highway but a piece of : private property, and people must not tresjmss.—Detroit Free Press- The Cost of the Guiteau Comedy, Now that the trial of the assas | sin gives some promise of draw ing loa close, some individuals ! of leisure are figuring up the cost of the farce of the Treasury, i Ihe v nut it all the way from j #IOO,OOO to $300,000. To Judge Porter and Mr. Davidgo, who are i retained lor the prosecution, they j assign llie comfortable fee of $25, | 000, each. Next will come Hie demands of lihe official stenographers, who i have made verbatim reports of i the proceedings and furnished i the District Attorney with fifteen I copies every morning, for all 1 wit ,-h they will expect from $lO, • 00*.,q $15,000. About two hun ! dred witnesses have been sum j >oued, and the witness fees will | be very heavy, especially those jot Hie twenty five experts called ■ for the prosecution, who will re ceive not only the usual allow ance and mileage, hut the value j they put on their services during j Hie days, a id even weeks, which they have given to the case. Ihen there is the maintenance of the assassin, the pay of extra bai -1 ffs, printing and a hundred in cidentals. To all who must be 1 added, in the now generally ex ; pecteil event of conviction, the I expenses of ihe execution. The gossips may be extrava | gant iu their figures, but it does | look as if Hie minimum expenses j would reach a round hundred j thousand. And then some sapi j ent juror may stick to it that jGui'eauisa veritable crank, in j which event anew trial would j present another bill. — Savannah \ Erics. Immigration f During the year which ended j with lasi June 669,431 immigrants arrived in the United Stales. The number of foreigners who | sought homes in Hie Republic during those twelve months was. I threreiore, greater bv from twer, ' ty thousand to forty five thou sand than the whole population i of Maine or of Connecticut. The arrivals for the year far j exceeded even those of 1873. when the largest immigration of j life past occurred. The total ilieu j was 459.503. For the last year it was more than two hundred thou sand greater. Yet this unparalied immigra lion is pretty certain lo be cast into Hie shade by that of the fis cal year in which we now are. Since the beginning of July the arrivals of each month have much , exceeded those of corresponding j months of ISS2, and the indica tions ate that when we reach ihe most active months for immigra tion next spring we shall find : them still increasing. That is, it is prooable that tiie number of new settlers Horn abroad, landed here between July 1. IS9O, and July 1. 1881. 18- 82, will be hard on one million and a half. A few more years of immigration at a rate so unexam pled will rapidly swell the popu lation of the tar Western States Territories, to whi h the foreign' ers chiefly tend, so that by 1890 the number of people living be vend Ihe Mississippi is likely to be double what it was in 1880, Of the immigrants arriving, the greatest number, or nearly a third ot Hie total, continue to come from Germanv Between one-fourth and one fifth are irom Great Britain and Ireland, and about one-ninth from Scandina via.— Christian Index. Scoville's lecturing project to affect public opinion outside the court house j was a uovel feature in eriminal trials, suv.l ; attracted considerable curiosity.

As we see the city f s parks and pleasure grounds decked in that 1 glory of bloom and fragrance which makes them so marvelous ( :n their season, when one revela tion of loveliness succeeds anotti \er like beads upon a rosafy of ; beauty, how little we realize the oarefal and careless preparation which has been required to make i them what they are. Like Patti’s ; voice or Wieniawski’s violin tones jor Rnbinstem’s music, the effect j is so marvelous and so perfect j that it seems the spontaneous outpourings of a heaven born gift rather than Hie culmination of long years of labor and aoplica tion. We know, ot course, in a vauge way, that Sowers must be weeded and watered and trim med while preaching from their ! sweet texts, but we forget the | Sudden work which prepared the I sermon. I understood something i°f it the other day, when, walk ing through the interminable al leys on hot houses,[ saw on either hand hundreds of thousands of tiny plants, lovingly watched and tended, gaining strength for thtf ouen air campaign which was t begin ino's later on. The tender handling and absorbing interest which the care-takers showed, the pride in their good points and healthy look.-, the enthusi ' asm with which any new combi ■ nation of color or qnality was 1 hailed, the infinite delicacy of i loach with which their imperfec tions were noted, made them ; seem more like living beings than belonging to inanimate nat ure. And it devotion can be re paid by the well-being of its ob ject, then the City Forester and l;:s merry men must be richly re warded. I could not help but think, if we studied as carefully tiie tiny human offshoots which are to propagate the great race, if we catered thus wisely and lov ■ ingly to tiie needs of growing 1 body and opening soul, if we j steeped them in sunshine, and j noted, to correct or intensify, ‘ their bias, ti.eir weekness, their strength, and their individual charicters, if we pruned or pra . tected, grafted or retarded, as each case requ ; red, instead of ! pushing al! under one high pres | sure system of warmth and stini j illation, in how few generations \ there would arrive the millen : nium of that immortal trans ! planted life which “cometh up as ! a flowers.’*— Jf. E. J>, in Boston Journal. - . The municipal authorities of I ihe large cities are causing offi cial inspection to be made of all theatres and other public halls, for the purpose of ascertaining Whether their cons 1 ruction is such as to allow immediate and suffi cient egress to an audience in case of a fire. No public half should be ed to be built which has not broad and easily accessible exits, bv which the entire audience could reach the streets within five minutes. All halls that do not come up to this standard should be closed by law, and not opened until the necesary chang es have been made. The Vienna horror should not be allowed to lift up its ghastly hand of warn ing in this respect in vain. Let all civilized communities heed tiie lesson so fearfully impressed upoti the chronicles of the day with blood and fire. Human be ings, crowded by thousands into public edifices, should not be left henceforth to the mercy of penu rous landlords or blundering and incompetent architects.— Chris tian Index
