The Great Value of Sorgum. In an elaborata report made by Professor Siiliman he showed how the United States can become the greatest sugar producing country in the world. He demonstrated that any State that can grow corn can grow sorghum, and that there exists no good reason why any one State or 1 ocality should monopolize the su gar industry. Sorghum thrives in an ordinary soil, and requires no unusual attention or cul tivation; so it seems strange that it is not more generally cultivated. Vegetables Better Than Drugs. Asparagus purges the blood. Tomatoes act upon the liver. Beets and turnips are excellent appetizers. Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in their effect upon the system. Tne common dandelion, used as greens, is excellent for the same tro lble. Red onions are an excellent diuretic and the white ones are recommended, eaten raw, as a remedy far insomnia. They are a tonic and nutritious. Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shallots, all of which are similar, possess medicinal virtues of marked character, stimulating the circula tory system, and the consequent increase of the saliva and the gastric juice, promoting di gestion.—Colman’s Rural World. Reviving Fruit Trees. Nearly every farm, especially the old, time- hnnored homestead, has o djfruit trees, many o which have become barren, and because they have, are neglected. They have been allowed to remain “cumberers of the ground” because of old, cherished, assrciations. Yet who knows i how many of these old trees might be revived, and again become productive, if given only little attention. In regard to this interesting matter, Mr. S. D. Pratt, a New York farmer, not long ago wrote as follows to the American Institute Farmers’ Club: “Remembering Prof. Leihig’s theory that when a vegetable is burned the part which came from the air in the process of growth re turns to the atmosphere, and the part which came from the ground, reduced to ashes, would be beneficial when applied to the roots of the trees. I resolved on experimenting with some old frui'. trees, which had once been highly prized on account of the abundance of choice fruit they bore, but which had ceased to bear, and had been neglected. They were standing in the soil strongly inclined to clay, with turf around them that had not been removed for several years. After pruning them prop erly, removing every indication of worms, etc., aud washing the body and branches with soap suds, I began operations below—first removing tbe turf t wo feet around the tree, then with a garden pick the ground loosened from six to twelve inches in depth, taking care not to in jure the largest roots. Twenty or thirty quarts of loose dirt were removed, leaving a large cavity, shaped like a saucer, with the tree standing in the center. About one pint of unleached ashes was sprinkled about the tree, and upon this chip manure was placed, nearly filling the cavity. Another pint of ashes was sprinkled upon the fertilizer, which was gently pressed down, and the hole covered with the loose dirt taken from the cavity, leaving the surface nearly as it was, excepting the turf. A young orchard was treated in a similar way. The eflect was wonderful. Plum trees that were ‘going to the bad’ revived. Peach trees that had presented small shrivelled leaves threw out luxuriant foliage, and cherry trees gave fruit larger and fairer than ever before,” How to Have Thrifty Pear Traas ansi Choice Fruit. Most people enjoy fine pears; but the Im pression prevails (and it may be a fact) that pear trees are subject to too many diseases, and aro so difficult to protect from them that this fruit has been neglected, and consequently good fruit so rare that it is generally high. But we think these difficulties should be over come and more attention giveu to tit s very ex cellent fruit. The introduction of the cele brated LeCoute pear encourages the belief that more and better attention will hereafter be be stowed on the cultivation of pears, so that this delicious fruit will become more plentiful and cheaper. In response to an inquiry for infor mation in regard to the treatment of the tree, a correspondent of the Florida Dispatch says: Our LeContes, when we get them from the nurseries where they were rooted, are mostly a single shoot from three to eight feet in leDgth. To make a shapely tree with a well balanced top and to encourage hearing are the two main objects. I shall consider in starting how I would prune. First fix a definite plan as to what the height of the body is to be where the too be gins. Work all the trees as uniform as possi ble to that plan; and there need be but little variation. Shorten the tree to within from •eight to fifteen inches of the place where the fruit or lowest limb should form. In doing iliis, as in cutting all'vigorous growth, cut just above a full grown and vigorous looking bud by starting the cut from the opposite side of the shoot from which the bud is and slanting upwards towards the bud and finishing so that the top of the cut will be even with the top of the bud. If cut lower, the bud may be weak ened or killed; if higher, it will be necessary to cut again aud so repeat the work. If the top bud grows off vigorously, it is to he left for the season to make a central leader for the top of the tree, which should always he kept up. If the gro vth of the top bud'is feeble, a lower bud may he taken as a leader and when its character is fully established prune back to it. If the tree is large, say, a half inch or more in diameter, four side branches may be allowed the first season; if smaller, only two or three. The branches should never be allowed to form on opposite sides of the body or leader. If they are six inches apart it is no matter, and they should not he less than four. All tbe other buds that start, except the leader and side branches, should be rubbed off, aud the entire growth confined to not more than five shoots. A uniform growth should be kept up in the branches by pinching off the end of any that seem to greatly outstrip the others; and the leader must be helped to keep the lead. Trees so treated may not make the growth they would if left alone to take their own course; but the growth will be where it is wanted, and the checking of the growth by this means will be hastening early fruitfulness. The second year, cut back half or more of the leader, by cutting to a bud on the opposite side from the one it was cut back to before. Cut back the branches also half or more, to a bud on the under side of the limb. From the end of the branches so pruned allow a leader from the end bud to grow, and also two side buds at such a distance from the end as will best fill the space to be occupied by the top of the tree. This is the season to begin to work for fruit; and, your skill this season will largely determine whether you will have a tree with open top, uniformly laden with fruit, or whether it will be a mass or jungle of branches here and there, and principally on the end of the limbs. All the buds that start except those intended for branches should be pinched off at the end when about two or three inches long, to stop the production of wood where not wanted and to induce the formation of fruit spurs. The growth of all the wood is regulated by pinching, and if the fruit spurs start again from the end they are to be pinch ed t ff. Tae third season all the main limbs are to be cut hack as before, and new limbs be al lowed to form to properly fill the space, and all other growth rubbed off or pinched back to form fruit spurs. The fruit spurs will bear generally when three years old. And the tree if properly handled may bear the fourth year. < Hher branches from the main leader may be allowed to form the second and third yeir. And ad the top should radiate from the main or central leader. An orchard so pruned will have uniformity and beauty, and will be brought into bearing much earlier than if allowed to take its own course. The trees will be able to carry, with out injury, a much greater burden of fruit, and tne fruit will be more uniform ’—‘ 1 ' better quality. January, 1887 l in size aud of a Does it Pay to Keep Bees? This question is asked and answered by J. H. Pratt in the Maine Farmer: I say yes; it pays in many ways. Experi ence tells us so, and I frequently hear people say, “I should like to keep bees, bnt I’m afraid to handle them.” Bees are a Bible in stitution and figure largely in Bible history. For centuries bees had their own way and managed their own affairs, bnt of late years man has sought out many inventions for their control. My experience in keeping bees (as originally designed by the Creator) has beea profitable, comfortable and instructive. It pays to be in their company—cheerful, singin, creatures.1 commenced keeping bees when began keeping house, over forty years ago; I took real comfort in it. If I had a spare mo ment I would sit down on the bench and watch them to see if they needed any help to keep off intruders, and they seemed to enjoy it as they whispered around my face and ears, understood them as I did my other creatures. In first dealing wi h them, I put them on the Bsuth aide nf a building snug up I/O the house, with no covering over them; the sun melted them down, and they seemed to be very hum ble, and asked for help, which of course I readily granted, taking out the melted honey, and fixing up the comb as best I could. They seemed to work all the sharper for having lost time and honey. And here I learnt d a lesson of value. I was right to put them in a warm, sunny place, protected from the cold lorth wind, but the mistake was in not making them a booth, as the good Lord did for Jonah, to keep them from the scorching rays of the sun; and I should have had an air space next to the hive, so as to keep it cool and dry. I next nude for them a nice house, about 20 feet long with two tiers of shelves. This did quite well in summer, but poorly in the winter. The frost would accumulate in the hive and wheD the weather moderated it would melt the frost and wet the comb, causing it to mould; and I lost more bees in that way than in any other. The best way is to put them on the sunny side of a building or high fence, and cover them as Jonah did himself. When it is a warm, sunny day in winter, spread some straw all around for a rod or more, and let them have a little exercise and a good time. Raise the hive and scrape the bottom, as there will be more or less dead bees and dirt; and when they have their liberty, they are very particular to keep clean and healthy. Once my bees had become exasperate! by the handling of a person not acquainted with their habits. An expert came along and said he wouid hive them. He took a pan and filled it with dry chips and dirt, and set them afire so as to make a good smoke, and in fifteen minutes had them nicely hived and on the bench with the other bees. As soon as the smoke reached them, they gave up at once, as it took their courage all away. They were as clever as kittens, and any of us could go about whatever we pleased. One time I had a swarm go off into the woods. I followed them half a mile and they went into a yellow birch tree, about twenty feet from the ground. I went back to the house and got my smoke and axe and hive, and in two hours’ time had them on the bench. I cut the tree down and cut into its hollow, and set the hive over the hole where they went in, applied the smoke and they entered the hive immediately. At anoth er time, one of my neighbors had a swarm en ter a large apple tree, at a distance from the he use. I applied the same methods, and soon had them nicely hived. My children could hive them easily in the same way. One year after I had cleared up a home in the wilder ness, I did not know how I should procure flour for my family. We bad four hives of bees. One be -utiful day, several swarms came out, which I hived, and in less than three months I took from these hives of clear white comb honey, 100 pounds, which I sold for 30 cents per pound, and from the proceeds of which I got two barrels of No. 1 flour, bringing then ?15 per barrel. There was a Providence in it, and it was so regarded by myself and family. An Extraordinary Yield of Clover-Seed. It is not often that the weather is altogether suitable to the perfection of large yields of clover-seed—dry weather being particularly favorable—farmers generally being content with a turnout of from two to two and a half bushels to the acre. But we see it stated in the Fanners’ Home Journal that Mr. Evan Lewis, of NorthTille, La Salle county,-HI., harvested the present year from seventeen acres 136 bushels, being an average of eight bushels to the acre. The seed, when cleaned, was bright and beautiful, and sold readily at wholesale for 54.10 per bushel, bringing the handsome sum of 1557.60 for the whole lot. The above is the largest yield of clover-seed per acre we ever heard of, and would more than pay for the land at 532.80 per acre. “There was one thing my farm never could raise,” said the old man, as he softly worried the roll of tobacco, and then expectorated on the stove. And as the statesmen who were sitting around the cracker barrel patiently awaited his explanation, he continued: “and that is a mortgage.” An Iowa paper tells of a smart wife that helped her husband to raise seventy acres of wheat. The way she helped him was to stand in the doer and shake a broom at him when he sat down to rest (Setus jof ^foaugfot. The mind is the atmosphere of the soul.— Joxibert.

Measurements of the speed of the swallow have recently been made at Pavia, and two bilds flew to that town from Milan at the rate of eighty-seven miles an hour. Mrs. Catherine Marx, who died at Reading, N. Y., recently, at the age of ninety-three, was the mother of twelve children. Her surviving descendants are six children, eighty-eight grandchildren, 118 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. A total of 216. Dr. Schwiniger, Prince Bismarck’s physi cian, has not allowed the chancellor for some time past to drink anything during meals. Now he goes a step farther, and wishes the irince to shut off on beer drinking altogether. Sismarck will obey, as he found on two or three occasions when he reuonstated with Dr. Schwiniger that the latter will stand no trif ling. Forty-five years ago the engagement of P. J. Jones and his sweetheart was broken, and each married. She became Mrs. N. Clark of McLean,*111., and he settled in Hancock, Mass. Mrs. Jones died, and so did Mr. Clark, and a few days ago Mr. Jones went to Rodman, N. Y., and was there joined by Mrs. Clark, and the two, who had not met for forty-five years, were made man and wife. Each is over sev enty years old. The question as to how much shoe-leather is daily consumed in Berlin vAs recently dis cussed in the London Post, which paper ar rives at the following estimate: If it is as sumed that of the 1,300,000 inhabitants, only 1,000,000 wear boots and shoes, at an average cost of only six marks per pair, lasting six months, this would cause the daily wear and tear of shoe leather in the Germaa capital to amount to 33,333 marks. To a number of societies formed in various large towns of Germany for the suppression of usury, may now be added another one about to form in Berlin. These societies have for object to become a neutral rallying point for persons of all parties and confessions, and to collect material for the exposure of usurious establishments, on the supposition that in most cases a false shame prevents the ruined victims from holdir.g their sordid plunderers responsible. Historical. Retrospection and Inspection. Some ore asked Gen. Toombs if he thought the inspection of fertilizers was a protection to the farmer. “I’ll bet ten dollars,” he re plied, “that I can take a sack of sand and drag a polecat through it and fool the best inspector they’ve got.” The United States gave its troops §300,000,- 000 in bounties during the civil war, and has paid and pledged itself for §900,000,000 in pen sions. The Stoa was a celebrated porch, or roofed colonade, in ancient Athens in which the phi losopher Zeno and his successors taught. From this place the disciples of Zeno derived the name of Stoics. The Court de bonne Compagnie was a soci ety in England at the time of Henry IY. It is regarded as the earliest instance of an English club, although that name did not come into use until a later period. The poet Occleve be longed to this society, and Chaucer was prob ably a member. The use of the magnet for the cure of dis ease was known to the ancients. It was known to Agtins, who lived as early as the year 500. He says: “We are assured that those who are troubled with the gout in their hands or their feet, or with convulsions, find relief when they hold a magnet.” Francis Atkins was porter at the palace gate of Salisbury, England, from the time of Bishop Burnett to the period of his death in 1761, at the age of 104 years. It was his office every night to wind the clock. This he did regularly till within a yenr of his decease, though the clock was on the summit of the palace. The most famous medallion is a gold one of Augustus Ctcsar. Of the Roman medal lions some were struck by order of the Emper ors, some by order of the Senate. No portrait of a person not princely occurs on any ancient medal. A remarkable circumstance, consid ering the numerous contemporary poets, his torians and philosophers. Catherine de Medicis made a vow that if some enterprises which she had undertaken terminated successfully she would send a pil grim on foot to _ erusalem, and that at every three steps he advanced he should go one step bfjekwani A citizen of Yerberie offered to ac complish the Queen’s row most scrupulously, and her majesty promised him an. adequate recompense. He performed his engagement and received a considerable sum and was en nobled. Th* Ransomed. Brooklyv, February 13.—Over six hundred persons haye joined the Brooklyn tabernacle, pastor, the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., during the present revival, making the oo tu rn unicant membership ol this church about four thousand. Professor Henry Eyre Browne rendered an organ solo, second sonata in E minor, by A. J. Ritter. The congregational singing was like the ^ice of many waters, when the pastor gave out the hymn: “He leadeth me; O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught!” The subject of Dr. Talmage’s sermon was “The Ransomed,” and his text was I. Corin thians, chapter vi., v. 20: “Ye are bought with a price.” Your friend takes you through his valuable house. You examine the arches, the fresco, the grass-plots, the fish-ponds, the conservato ries, the parks of deer, and you say within yourself, or you say aloud: “What did all this cost?” You see costly apparel, or you see a krgb’fiietfcled-span of horses, Harnessed with Silver and Cold, and you begin to make an estimate of the value. The man who owns a large estate can not instantly tell you what it is all worth. He says: “I will estimate so much for the house, so much for the furniture, so much for laying out the grounds, so much for the stock, so much for tile barn, so much for the equip age-adding up, in all making this aggregate." “Wei, my friends, I hear so much about our mansion in heaven, about its furniture and the grand surroundings, that I want to know how much it is all worth, and what has actually been paid for it. I cannot complete in a month or a year the magnificent calcula tion; but before 1 get through to-day I hope to give you the figures. “Ye are bought with a prioe.” With some friends I went into London Tower to look at the crown jewels of England. We walked around, caught one glimpse of them, and being in the procession were com pelled to pass out. I wish that to-day I could take this audience into the tower of God’s mercy and strength, that yon might walk around just once at least and see the crown jewels of eternity, behold their brilliance and estimate their value. “Ye Ar? Bought With a Price.” Now, if yon have a large amoimt of money to pay, you do not pay it all at once, but you pay it by installments—so much the first of January, so much the first of April, so much the first of Jmly, so much the first of October, until the entire amount is paid. And I have to tell this audience that “you have been bought with a price,” and that that price was paid in different installments. The first ina'allment paid for the clearance of our souls was the ignominious birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Though we may never be carefully, looked after afterward, our ad vent into the world is carefully guarded. We oome into ihfcworld amid kindly attentions. Privacy aiujVv''enc6 are /afforded when God launches an .'immortal soul into the world Even the roughest of men know enough to stand hack. . But I have,to tell you that in the village on the side of the hill, there was a very bedlam of nproar when Jesus was bora. In a village capable of aceommodating only a few hundred people, many thousand people were crowded, and amid ostlers and muleteers, and camel drivers, yelling at stupid beasts of burden, the Messiah appeared. No silence. No privacy. A better adapted place hath the eaglet in the eyrie—hath tjie whelp in the lion’s lair. The exile of hefiypn lieth down upon the straw. The first nigfyt out from the palace of heaven spent in an oty-house. One hour after laying aside the robes' of heaven, dressed in a wrap per of coarse linen. One would have sup posed that Christ would have made a more gradual descent, coming from heaven first to a half-way world of great magnitude, then to Caesar’s palace, then to A Merchant’s Castle In Galilee, then to a private home in Bethany, then to a fisherman’s hut, and, last of all, to a stable. No; it was one leap from the top to the bot tom. Let us open the door of the caravansary in Bethlehem, and drive away the camels. Press on through the group of idlers and loungers. What, O, Mary, no light? “No light,” she says, “save that which comes through the door.” “What, Mary, no food? “None,” she says, “only that which is brought in the sack on the journey." Let the Bethlehem woman who has come in here with kindly affections put back the covering from the babe that we may look upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your head. Let us kneel. Let all voices he hushed. Son of Mary! Son of God! Child of a day—monarch of eternity! In that eye the glance of a God. Omnipotence sheathed in that babe’s arm. That voice to be changed from the Heble plaint to the tone that shall wake the dead. Hosanna! Hosanna! Glory be to God that Jesus came from throne to manger that we might rise from manger to throne, and that all the gates are open, and that the door of heaven that once swung this way to let Jesus out, now swings the other way to let us in. Let all the bellmen of heaven lay hold the rope, and ring cut the news: “Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peoples; for to day is born in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord!” The second installment paid for our soul’s clearance was the scene in Quarantania, a mountainous region full of caverns, where are to this day panthers and wild beasts of all sorts; so that you must now, the traveler says, go there armed with Knife or Cun or Pistol. It was there that Jesus went to think and pray, and it was there that this monster of hell, more sly, more terrific than anything that prowled in that country—Satan himself, met Christ. The rose in the cheek of Christ— that Pnblius Lentulus to the Roman senate, ascribed to Jesus—that rose had scattered its petals. Abstinence from food had thrown him into emaciation. The longest abstinence from food rec jrded in profane history is that of the crew of the ship Juno; for twenty-three days they had nothing to eat. But this sufferer had fasted a month and ten days before He broke Hunger must have agonized every fibre of the body and gnawed on the stomach with teeth of death. The thought of a morsel of bread or meat must have thrilled the body with something like ferocity. Turn out a pack of men hungry as Christ was ahungered, and if they had strength, with one yell they would devour yc u as a lion a kid. It was in that pan 0, of hunger that Jesus was accosted, and Satan said: “Now change these stones, which look like bread, into an actual supply of bread.” Had the temptation come to you or me under those circumstances, we would have cried: “Bread it shall be!” and been almost impatient at the t me taken for mastication, but Christ with one hand beat back the hun- ger, aad with the other hand beat back the monarch of darknest. O, ye tempted ones! Christ was tempted. We are told that Napo leon ordered a coat of mail made; hut he was not quite certain that it was impenetrable, so he said to the manufacturer of that coat of mall: “Pat it on yourself and let us try it;” and with shot after shot from his own pistol the emperor found out that it was just what it pretended to be—a good coat of mail. Then the man received a large reward. I bless God that the same coat of mail that struck back \ The Weapon of Temptation from the heart of Christ we may all now wear; for Jesus comes and says: “I have been tempted, and I know what it is to be tempted. Take this robe that defended me and wear it for yourselves. I wifi see you through all trials, and I will see you through all tempta tion.” “But,” says Satan still further to Jesus, “come and I will show you something worth looking at,” and after a half-day’s journey they came to Jerusalem and on the top of the temple.* Ju»t as one might go up in the tower of Antwerp and look upon Belgium, so Satan brought Christ to the top of the temple. Some people at a great height feel dizzy, and have a strange disposition to jump, so Satan comes to Christ with a powerful temptation in that very crisis. Standing there at the top of the temple they look off. A magnificent reach of coun try. Grain fields, vineja-ds, olive groves, for ests and streams, cattle in the valley, flocks on the hills, and villages and cities, and' realms. “Now,” says Satan, “I’ll make a bargain. Just jnmp off. I know it is a great way from the top of the temple to the valley, hut if you are divine you can fly. Jump off. It won’t hurt you. Angels will catch you. Your Father will hold yor. Besides, I’d make you a large present, if you will. I’ll give you Asia Minor, I’ll give you India, I’ll give you China, I’ll give you Ethiopia, I’ll give you Italy, I’ll give you Spain, I’ll give you Germany, I’ll give yon Britain, M give yon all the world.” what a humiliation it must have been. Go to-morrow morning and get in an alter, cation with some wretch crawling up from a gin oellar in the fourJi ward, New York. "No,” you say, “I wiuld not bemean myself by gett ng in such a oontest.” Then think of what the King of heaven and earth endured when He came down and fought that great wretch of hell, and fonght him in the wilder ness and on the top of the temple. But bless God that in that triumph over tempta tion Christ gives us the assurance that we also shall triumph. Having Himself been tempted, He is able to suocor All Those Who are Tempted. In a violent storm at sea the mate told ahoy —for the rigging had become entangled in the mast—to go up and right it. A gentleman standing on deck said: “Don’t send that boy up; he will be dashed to death.” The mate said: “I know what I am abont ” The boy raised his hat in recognition of the order, and then rose, hand over hand, and went to work; as he swung in the storm the passengers wrung the r hands and expected to see him fall. The work done, he came down in safety, and a Christian man said to him: “Why did you go down in the forecastle before you went up?” “Ah,” said the boy, “I went down to pray. My mother always taught me before I undertook anything great to pray.” “What is that you have in your vest?” said the man. “Oh, that is the New Testament,” he said; “I thought I would carry it with me if I really did go overboard.” How well that boy was protected 1 I care not how great the height or how vast the depth, with Christ within us, and Christ beneath us, and Christ above us, and Christ all around us, nothing shall befall ns in the way of harm. Christ Himself, having been in the tempest, will deliver all those who put their trust in Him. Blessed be His glo rious name forever. The third installment paid for our redemp tion was the Saviour’s sham trial. I call it a sham trial—there has never been anything so indecent or unfair in the Tombs court of New York as was witnessed at the trial of Christ. Why, they hustled him into the court room at two o’clock in the morning. Ther gave him no time for counsel. They gave him no op portunity for subpoenaing witnesses. The ruffians who were wandering around through the midnight, of course they saw the arrest and went into the court room. But Jesus’s friends were sober men, were respectable men, and at that hour, two o’clock in the morning, of course they were at home asleep. Conse quently Christ Entered the Court Room with the ruffians. Ob, look at Him I No one to speak a word to Him. I lift the lantern until I can look into His face, and as my heart beats in sympathy for this, the best friend the world ever had. Himself now utterly friendless, an officer of the court room comes up and smites Him in the mouth, and I see the blood stealing from gum and lip. Oh, it was a faroe of a trial, lasting only perhaps an hoar, and then the judge rises for the sentence I It is against the law to give sentence unless there has been an adjournment of the court between condemnation and sentence; but what cares this judge for the law? “The men lias no friends—let him die,” says the judge, and the ruffians outside the rail cry: “Aha! aha! thai’s what we want—H's blood. Hand Him out here to us. Away with Him! away with Him!” Oh, I bless God that arnind all the injustice that may be inflicted upon us, in this world we have a divine sympathiz er. The world cannot lie about you nor abuse you as much as they did Christ, and Jesus stands to-day in every court room, in every home, in every store, and says: “Courage! By all my hours ot maltreatment and abuse, will protect those who are trampled on.” And when Christ forgets that 2 o’clock morning scene, and the stroke of the ruffian on the mouth, and the howling of the unwashed crowd, then He will forget you and me in the injustices of life that may be inflicted upon us. Some of you want deliverance from your troubles, God knows you have enough of them Physical troubles, domestic troubles; spiritual troubles; financial troubles. You have been gathering them up, some perhaps for five, six or seven years, and you have divided them into two classes: Those you can talk about and those you cannot talk about; and as those griefs are the most grinding and depressing which you cannot mention, you get condo lence for the things you can speak of, while You Cet no Condolence for things that you cannot. In your school days you learned how to bound the states and could tell what rivers and lakes and mountains ran through them. If you were asked to-day to bound your worldly estate you would say it wasjbounded on the north by trouble, and on the south by trouble, and on the east by troub le, and on the west by trouble, while rivers of tears and lakes of woe, and mountains of dis aster run through it What are jOu going to do with your troubles? Why do you not go to the theater and have your mind absorbed in some tragedy? “Oh,” you say, “everything I have seen on the hoards of the stage is tame compared with the tragedy of my own life?” Well, then, why do you not go to your trunks and closets and gather up all the mementoes of your departed friends and put them out of sight, and take down their pictures from the wall and put in the frame a harvest scene or some bright and gay spectacle? “Ah,” you say, “if I should remove all these mementoes of my departed friends, that would not take away the killing pictures that are hanging in the gallery of my own heart.” “Well, if that does not help you, why do not plunge into so ciety and try to wash off in worldly gayeties all these assoilments of the soul? “Oh,” you say, “I have tried that! but how can I hear other children laugh when my children are si lent? How can I see other happy families when my own happy family is broken up? Trouble, trouble!” But do you gain anything by brooding over your misfortunes, by sitting down in a dark room, by a comparison of the sweet past with the bitter present? “No that makes things worse.” But I have to tell you to-day that the Christ of a 1 sympathy presents Himself. Is there anybody in this house that can get along without sympathy? I do not think I would live a day without it And yet there are a great many who stem to get along with out any divine sympathy. Their fortune is counting room, or in the store, or in the insur ance company, takes wings and flies away. They button up a penniless pocket. They sit down in penury where once they had affluence, and yet there is no Jesus to stand by them and say: “Oh, man, there are treasures that never fail, in banks that never break! I will take care of you. I own the cattle on a thou sand hills, and you shall never want.” They have no such divine Saviour to say that to them. I do not know how they get along. Death comes t-'the nursery. One voice less in the household. One less fountain of joy and laughter. Two hands less to be busy all day. Two feet less to bound through the hall. Shadow after shadow following through that household, yet no Jesus to stand there and say: “I am the shepherd. That lamb is not lost. I took it off the cold mountains; all’s well.” Oh, can you tell me the mystery? Can you solve it? Tell me how it is that men and women with aches, and pains, ai d sorrows, and losses, and exasperations, and bereave ments can get along without a sympathizing Christ? I cannot understand it. But I come here to say this morning, that If yon really want divine sympathy you can have it. There are two or three passages of Scrip ture that throb with pity and kindness and love! ‘-Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He will sustain thee.” “Come unto Me all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Oh, there are green pastures where the Heavenly Shepherd leads the sick and wound ed of the flock! When all the other trees of the orchard fail, God has one tree of fruit for His dear children. Though the organ wails out its requiem, there comes afterward a song, a chant, an anthem, a battle-march, a corona tion, a victoiy. Do you not want The Sympathy Of Jesus. I offer it this morning to every tnan and wom an n this house; you need Him. There was a chaplain in the army w 9 u Jj u unto death. While lying there on the field he heard, at a great distance off, some one cry ing out in great pain: “Oh, my God!” and he said to himself: ‘*1 am dying; but I think, perhaps, I could help that man. Although can’t walk I’ll just roll over to where he is, So he rolled over in his own blood, and rolled over the bodies of the slaiD, and rolled on un til he came to where the other man was dying, and put, as it were, his wound against that wound, and his sorrow against that sorrow, and helped to alleviate it. And so it seems to me that Jesus Christ hears the groan of our sorrow, the groan of our poverty, the groan of our wretchedness, and comes to the relief. He comes rolling over sin and sorrow to the place where we lie on the battlefield, and He puts over us the trm of his everlasting love; and I see that arm and hanl are wounded; and as He pate that arm over us, I can hear him say: “I have loved thee with an everlasting love. ’ Oh that you might feel this morning the power and condolence of a sympathizing Jesus! Further, I remark; The last great install ment paid for our redemption was the demise of Christ- The world has seen many dark days. Abont fifteen summers ago there was a very dark day when the sun was eclipsed. The fowls at noonday went to their perch, and we felt a gloom as ws looked at the astronom ical wonder. It Was a Dark Day In London when the plague was at its height, and the dead, with uncovered faoes, were taken in open carts and dumped in the trenches. It was a dark day when the earth opened and Lisbon sank; but the darkest day since the creation of the world was the day when the carnage of Cavalry was enacted. It was about noon when the curtain began to be drawn. It was not the coming on of night that soothes and refreshes; it was the swinging of a great gloom all around the heavens. God hung it. As when there 16 a dead one in the house you bow the shutters or turu the lattice, so God in the after noon shut the windows of the world. As it is appropriate to throw a black pall upon the coffin as it passes along, so it was appropri ate that everything should be somber that day as the great hearse of the earth rolled on, bearing the corpse of the King. A man’s last nours are ordinarily kept sa cred. However you may have hated or cari- tured a man, when you hear he is dying si lence puts his hands on your lips, and you would have a loathing for the man who could stand by a death-bed making faces and scoff ing. But Christ in his last hour cannot be left alone. What! pursuing him yet after so long a pursuit? You have been drinking his tears, do you want to drink his blood? They came up closely, so that, notwithstanding the dark ness, they can glut their revenge with the con tortions of his oountenance. They examine his feet. They want to feel for themselves whether those feet are really spiked. They put out their hands and touch the spikes, and bring them back wet with blood, aud wipe them on their garments. Women stand there and weep but can do no good. It is bo place for tender-hearted women. It wants a heart that crime has turn ed into granite. The waves of man’s hatred and ef Hell’s Vengeance Dash Up against the mangled feet, and the hands of sin and pain and torture clutch for his holy heart. Had He not been thoroughly fasted to the cross they would have torn Him down and trampled Him with both feet. How the cav airy horses arched their necks, and champed their bits and reared and snuffed at the blood. Ua6 a Roman officer called out for a light his voice would have beea heard in the tumult; but louder than the clash of the spears and the wailing ef womanhood, and the neighing of the chargers, and the bellowing of the cru- cifiers, there comes a voice crashing through, loud, clear, overwhelming, terrific. It is the groan of the dying Son of God. Look! What a scene! Look, oh world, at what you have done! I lift the covering from that maltreated Christ to let you oount the wounds and esti mate the cost. Oh, when the nails went through Christ’s right hand and Christ’s leit hand—that bought your hands with all their power to work, and 1 ft, and write. When the nail went through Christ’s right foot aud Christ’s left foot—that bought your feet, with all their power to walk, or run, or climb. When the thorn went into Christ’s temple— that bought your brain with all its power to think and plan. When the spear cleft Christ’s side—that bought your heart with all its pow er to love, and repent, and pray. Oh, sinner, come back! If a man is in no pain, if he is prospered, if he is well, and he asks you to come, you take your time and you say: “I can’t come now. I’ll oome after a while. There is no haste.” But if he is in want or trouble you say: “I must go right away. I must go now.” To-day Jesus stretches out before you two wounded hands, and He begs you to come. Go and you live. Stay Away and You Die. Oh, that to Him who bought us, we might give all our time, and all our prayers, aDd all our successes! I would we could think of nothing else, that we could do nothing else but come to Christ. He is so fair, He is so loving. He is so sympathizing, He is so good I wish we could put our arm around His neck and say: “Tbine, Lord, will I be forever.” Oh, that to day you would begin to love Him! Would that I could take this audience and wreathe around the heart of my Lord Jesus Christ. When, in 1866, the Atlantic cable was lost, do you remember that the Great Eastern and the Medway and the Albany went out to find it? Thirty times they sank the grapnel two and a half miles deep in the water. After awhile they found the cable and brought it to the surface. No sooner had it been brought to the surface than they lifted a shout of exulta tion, but the cable slipped back again into the water and was lost. Then for two weeks more they swept the sea with the grappling hooks, and at last they found the cable and they brought it up in silence. They fastened it this time. Then with great excitement they took one end of the cable to the electricians’ room to see if there were really any life in it, and when They Saw a Spark and knew that a message could be sent, then every hat was lifted, and the rockets flew and the guns sounded until all the vessels on the expedition knew that the work was done and the continents were lashed together. Well, my friends, Sabbath after Sabbath, we have come Searching down after your soul. We have swept the sea with the grappling hook of Christ’s gospel. Again and again we have thought you were at the surface and began to rejoice over your redemption; but at the mo ment of our gladness you sank back again in to the world and back again into sin. To-day we come with this gospel searching for your soul. We apply the cross of Christ first to see whether there is any life left In you, while all around the people stand, looking to see wheth er the work will be done, and the angels of God bend down and witness. And, oh I if now we could see only one spark of love, and hope, and faith, we could send up a shout that would be heard on the battlements of heaven, and two worlds would keep jubilee, because comm inication is open between Christ and the soul, and your nature that ha# been sunken in sin and been lifted into the light and the joy of the gospel. flailroaW.
