goq>-3sr -2. A, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1887 When the Cows Come Home. [This pofm appeared first in the Illustrated Christian Weekly, August, 1875. It has been reprinted extensively, but inaccurately. It is reproduced here, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, with the sanction of the author (Mrs. Agnes E. Mitcheii), and the following is a cor rected and revised copy. The poem has been credited to an English writer, and was pub lished some months ago in an Eastern paper with the explanatory remark tnat the author was not known.] With kllngle, klanyle, kllngle, 'Way down tbe dusty dingle, The cows are coming heme; How sweet and clear, and taint and low, The airy tinklings come and go. Like chiming* from some far-oll tower, Or patterlngs of an April shower That makes the daisies giow; Ko-ling, ko-lang, . Ko-liag, ko-lang, kolinglelingle > way down the darkening dingle The cows come slowly home; And old-time friends, and twilight plays, And starry nights, and sunny days, Come trooping up the misty ways When the cows come home. With jingle, jangle, jingle, Soft tones that sweetly mingle, The cows are coming home; Mai vine, and Pearl, and Fiortmel, 1)8 K-mp, Kedrose, and Gretcben Schell, Queen Bess, and Sylph, and Spangled Sue ,- Across the fields I hear her loo-oo, And clang her silver bell; Gc-ling, go-lang, Go-llng, go-tang, golingielingle, With faint, far sounds that mingle The cows come slowly home; And mother-songs of iong-gone years, And baby joys, and childish tears. And youthful hopes, and youtbfnl fears, When the cows coine home. With rlnglP, rangle, rlngie, By twos and threes and single, The cows are coming home; Through violet air we see the town, And the summer sun a-slipplng down; The maple In the hazel glade Throws down the path a longer shade And the hills are growing brown; To-ring, to-rang, To-rlng, to rang, torlnglellngle, Bv threes and fours and single The cows come slowly tome; The same sweet sound of wordless psalm, The same sweet June-day rest and calm, The same sweet scent of bud and balm, When the cows come home. With tinkle, tankle, tinkle, Through fern ana periwinkle. The cows are coming home; A-loiterlng in the checkered stream, Where the sun-rays glance and gleam, Clarlne, Peachbloom, and Ft cebe Phyills, Stand knee-deep in the creamy lilies In a drowsy dream; To-llnk.tc-lank, To-Unk, to-lank, tollnklellnkle, O’er banks with butter-cups a-twlnkle The cows come slowly home; And up through Memory’s deep ravine Come the brook’s old song and Its old-time sheen, And the crescent of the silver queen, When the cows come home.

Keeping Eggs for Hatching. Where the breeding stock is vigorous, full of vitality, strong in body and constitution, free from disease, kept in exercise and proper ly fed, eggs have been kept six weeks and good hatches secured. About two weeks is long enough to keep them, and they should be turned every day to prevent the yolk adhering to the shell. Place in moderately cool room that is partly shaded.—Ex. Raise Flowers. Raise flowers; if only a pot of Mignonette in the window, well attended, it will prove a com fort in lonely hours—a solace in sad ones—a source of interest always. Flowers, by their subtle witchery, call one away from earth and its cares; their fragrance seems the very breath of the angels, and their growth speaks of God. The care of them is alike a physical, a mental and a spiritual bene fit—aye, even means of grace, and so, I say again cultivate flowers.—Vick’s Magazine for May. Absorption of Water. • The statement that all the water in a plant or tree is due to absorption by the roots, while nearly true is not strictly so. Duchartre con cluded from some well-devised experiments that the leaves are incapable of imbibing water or its vapor, and for twenty years physiolo gists accepted and taught this doctrine. But a few years ago his experiments were re peated in England, and it was found that he had been led into error, and that leaves can and do continually absorb vapor when there is more of it without than within them, as every one 39es who observes the refreshing in fluences of a shower, or of humid after dry air. — Vick's Magazine for May. North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Tha New Berne Journal congratulates tbe people of North Carolina, that the Board of Agriculture has at last taken active steps to establish the College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts. They have twenty thousand dol lars available assets in hand and orders have been given for material for the buildings—work on which will begin next August. A great deal depends upon the success of this enter- terprise. If it accomplishes the objects for which it is intended, other institutions like it will follow. If it fails for lack of support or proper management, industrial education in North Carolina will be given a set-back from which it will not recover soon. Plants fer Cemetery Lots. Plants to succeed well in a cemetery must be possessed of strong and vigorous constitu tion. They cannot be visited every day, and must be capable of withstanding at least tem porary adverse conditions. A few hardy plants that will bear winter’s cold and sum mer’s heat are desirable, even if one should annually make a planting for the summer, for, as we are all aware, such attention may at any time be interrupted, or even wholly stopped, and then the hardy plants that hold their place will still indicate the love and care that placed them there. In order to produce the best ef fect, there should be of such hardy plants a sufficient number to ensure a succession of bloom from spring to autumn.—Tict's Maga zine for May. Creamery vs. Dairy Butter. The advantages of a creamery over a private dairy seem to sum up thus: The product is of higher quality than is made by the average farmer, and consequently finds more ready sale at higher prices. The work is more economically done in the creamery, as power implements can be used, which will enable one or two persons to do the work in a day that would require many per sons to do in the several dairies. In the creamery all the work can be done by experts, while in the farm dairy it is not to be expected that all will be first-class butter- makers. The average farm dairy, with its con tracted quarters and usual inconveniences, cannot equal in quantity or quality the well- equipped creamery. The creamery relieves the too often over burdened farmer’s wife. Some men would like to have their wives live as long as their husbands do. The farmer who sends his milk or cream to the factory can, if he chooses, double the num ber of his cows, and make his farm twice as productive without greatly increasing the in door burdens of the farm. , Creamery butter being more uniform is in better demand by buyers.— Mew England Far mer. Creameries. We present elsewhere in this department, a short article giving some of the advantages a Creamery has, in the manufacture and prepa ration of butter for market, over the farm dai ry. The subject affords matter for serious consideration. To persons in other States or sections engaged, or skilled in creamery man agement, we would suggest that th# Blue Ridge region of the South presents superior advanta ges, natural and artificial, for extensive Cream eries promising unsurpassed profitable results. It is impossible to conceive of conditions that would surpass them, anywhere—mountains and highlands covered with grass for food and timber for shelter, abounding with springs of clearest and coolest water, and brooklets that feed the clear and full and constant streams which flow through valleys of unsurpassed fertility and capable of affording all the grass, grain and roots for herds aggregating hundreds of thousands of animals, and their keepers, and to spare. Prompt, rapid and sure trans portation to the best markets are assured even by railways now operated, which however will be heavily supplemented in the near future by several others. Butter and cheese equal to any can be produced at the lowest cost, while the nearness to the most continuous profitable consumers will cheapen transportation. <0cmg of Ctjougfjr. Some Orange Recipes. A writer in a Florida paper gives the follow ing recipes for making various delicacies from oranges: Sour Orange Wixe.—To one gallon of juice add three gallons of water, and to every gal lon of the mixture add three pounds of sugar; put into a barrel and let it stand until ferment ation ceases, which will be from six weeks to two months. Keep the bung covered with a thin cloth. After fermentation ceases it is better to draw off the wine into other barrels; then stop up the bung tight and keep it in a cool place. Sweet orange wine is made in the same way, except that you use equal parts of juice and water and three pounds of sugar to every gal lon of mixture. Of course, the juice must be well strainad before adding the water. Forests and Taxation. Question for discussion by Granges: Should forest lands be partially or entirely exempt from taxation? In view of the fact that for ests influence the rainfall, and severe drouths, drying up of springs and streams surely follow their undue destruction, thereby affecting the general welfare of the country, should not those who aid in preserving the amount nec essary for the general good have some consid eration over those who, from their private property, receive the full results for their per sonal use? Farmers frequently cut off their woodlands because they say they are not pay ing and they cannot afford to pay the taxes on them. In nearly all European countries government assumes control of and protects large areas of forests, schools of forestry are maintained, and all for the general good.— Farmer’s Home Journal. Inter-State Farmers Encampment. We subjoin liberal extracts from the circu lar of the Secretary of the Inter-State Farmer’s Summer Encampment, which will assemble at the grounds near Spartanburg, S. C., at 8 o’clock a. m., Tuesday, August 2nd., 1887, and continue until August 6th. It is next to im possible that other than the most beneficial results should follow the intercourse and ex hibits at such a gathering, and we think that every cultivator of the soil that can, should at tend. This Inter-State Farmers’ Encampment is the result of the combined efforts of the friends of agriculture, in all its departments, to fill a long felt want by those most heartily interested in the material progress of our Southern States. It is under the auspices of the Patrons of Husbandry of Alabama, Ten nessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The prime object of this Exhibition is, that the producing classes all over the country may meet annually in friendly rivalry and competi tion, for the purpose of displaying what each has wrought during the year. Such gatherings are highly beneficial, not only because they af ford to all an opportunity of beholding what has been done, but rather because it is amid such surroundings that the flagging energies and drooping aspirations of the multitudes are quickened into activity, and they return to the quiet of farm and shop determined to equal, and, if possible, surpass the triumphs they have witnessed. Several of these Inter-State encampments are, and have been for years, in the most successful operation in other parts of the United States, at which there attend annu ally hundreds of thousands of visitors from all the various occupations of life. They go away benefitted, and for this purpose mainly was this encampment inaugurated. The location of the Encampment is central and easily accessible from every county in the States above mentioned. It is directly on the line of the Atlanta and Charlotte Division of the Richmond and Danville railroad, with di rect connections at Spartanburg (one mile from grounds) with Charleston on the sea coast, Augusta and the South, Atlanta and the Southwest and West, Asheville and the North west, and Charlotte and all points beyond to the East, North and Northeast. It lies at the foot of and in view of the Blue Ridge Moun tains. The city of Spartanburg, S. C., was chosen by the committee charged with the selection of a location on account of the many advantages and facilities afforded to such a grand enter prise. The grounds are thirty acres in extent, fac ing the railroad, where there will be double side tracks with handsome and convenient de pots. Water will be abundantly supplied from wells and from the city water works. Streets and avenues surround and intersect the grounds at convenientjdistances. Members of the Order of Patrons of Hus bandry, of agricultural societies, of farmers’ clubs, with their families and friends, are ear nestly solicited to be present, and to take early and determined steps to display the products of their farms, their dairies, their pastures, their poultry yards, their cattle pens, etc. etc., and to assist in every way possible to advance the interests of agriculture, and to give to the “Order of Farmers” a proud prominence m the display at this exhibition. In order to do this, work must be entered upon without de lay. It is specially desired that localities in every portion of the South which have mineral de posits, such as coal, iron, gold, silver, mica, soapstone, limestone, manganese, etc. etc. etc., send large and varied specimens to this exhi bition. Let there be geological surveys made of such localities, and maps showing details of deposits, outcroppings, etc. Remember, it is expected that capitalists from the money centers of the country, will be present, for the purpose of making investments in these in dustries. There will be State and national exhibits of the processes of fish culture, by means of the incubators. Also, sorghum mills and evapo rators will sho w the advantages of these crops to our Southern farmers. Besides, many other practical tests und displays of a similar character will be given. Let all exhibits be forwarded and arranged by Monday noon, August 1st, so that every thing will be in order by opening hour of the 2nd of August. For further information address, Charles H. Carlisle, Secretary, Spartanburg, S. C,. God made both tears and laughter, and both for kind purposes; for as laughter enables mirth and surprise to breathe freely, so tears enable sorrow to vent itself patiently. Tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair and mad ness.—Leigh Hunt. In great cities we learn to look the world in the face. We shake hands with stem realities. —Longfellow. That inexhaustible good nature, which is the most precious gift of Heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.—Washington Irving. Nature is a rag merchant, who works up every shred and ort and end into new crea tions. —Emerson. In ourselves, rather than in material nature, lie the true source and life of the beautiful. The human soul is the sun which diffuses light on every side, investing creation with its lovely hues, and calling forth the poetic element that lies hidden in every existing thing.—Mazzini. Experience has taught me that the only friends we can call our own, who can have no change, are those over whom the grave has closed; the seal of death is the enly seal of friendship. —Byron. What is commonly called friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.— Thoreau. Oh, how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living!— Philip, King of Macedon. Hypocrisy has become a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue.— Maliere. Our condition never satisfies us; the present is always the worst. Though Jupiter should grant his request to each, we should continue to importune him.—Fontaine. Every generous illusion adds a wrinkle in vanishing. Experience is the successive dis enchantment of the things of life. It is reason enriched by the spoils of the heart.—J. Petit Senn. Grecian children were taught to reverence and emulate the virtue of their ancestors. Our educational forces are so wielded as to teach our children to admire most that which is foreign and fabulous and dead..—Garfield. We must find a weak spot or two in a char acter before we can love it much. People who do not laugh or cry, or take more of anything than is good for them, or use anything but dictionary words, are admirable subjects for biographiers. But we don’t care most for those fine pattern flowers that press best in the herbarium.—0. IF. Holmes. i^Lstorital. Silkworms were brought to Europe as early as the sixth century. Martin Luther’s followers received the name Protestants in 1529. It was during the fourteenth esntury that paper was made from rags. Michael Angelo, the great Italian architect, was bom in 1475 and died in 1564. Henry I. of England, because of his learn ing, received the surname clerk, or scholar. Gunpowder and cannon were first used in warfare at the siege of Constantinople in 1453. Henry VIII. of England received the title Defender of the Faith in 1621, from Pope Clement VII. The word snow is first used in Psalms, ii.,7. “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean, wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Pall Mall is a street in London named from the French game of paille-maillie, formally played there. During the last century it con tained many taverns. The street was en closed about 1690, and was a fashionable prom enade. The Patapsco was a United States monitor in the war of the late Rebellion. She took part in connection with the land batteries in the attact upon Fort Sumter, July 11, 1863, and within a few days it was reduced to a shapeless mass of ruins. The theatre with its tragedies and comedies, the circus and the amphitheatre supplied the Romans with their chief public amusements. At the circus they betted on their favorite horses or charioteers, and at the amphithea tre they revelled in the bloody combats of gladiators, the most brutal of all the Roman pastimes. The oil State House is an anciefit edifice in Boston, originally used for the sessions of the colonial legislature. It was built in 1748. In 1770 occurred the affair between the British guard stationed in this building and the citi zens, which is known as the “Boston Massa cre.” The building is now used for business purposes. Curious tfttctj?. The highest fountain in Europe is that in the gardens of Chatsworth, the seat of the Duka of Devonshire. The height of this famous jet is 267 feet. The largest copper plates ever rolled in Pittsburg, Pa., were turned out last week. They were circular in form and measured 176 inches in diameter. At an inquest held net long ago at Bath, Eng., respecting the death of an old lady, it was found that she had died from the results of a wasp-sting. During the year 1885 twelve deaths were re ported in England from chloroform, and three from ether. None are known to have occurred from any other anaesthetic. It is now recommended to boil shingles in tended for a roof in a solution of lime and salt. It is claimed that it adds a good many years to the usefulness of the shingles, by prevent ing them from decaying. The annual accounts are coming from Dako ta of the snowballs, some the size of apples, others as large as peck measures, that cover the prairies there. These balls are rolled by the wind, and there are thousands of them. A good way to ventilate a room is to raise the window on the windward side a few inches, and close the opening at the bottom with a piece of board cut to fit it. A current of air will pass into the room in an upward direction through the opening between the upper and lower sashes, without creating any draught. Printers might like to know that the entire Scriptures contain 2,775,269 ems in diamond and 2,807,840 ems in nonpareil. It would take a printer a year and a half to put the Scrip tures in type at the rate of 5,000 ems per day. The quantity of metal required, in nonpareil, would be about 6,500 pounds, in bourgeois 13,000 pounds, and in pica 26,000 pounds. Italy is becoming a land of monuments. One has been erected to Victor Emmanuel, at Tu rin, costing §200,000, all of which was paid by King Humbert. Another is going up on the Janieulum, in Rome, to Garibald, to cost as much. Milan, Naples, Genoa. Palermo and Bologna are putting up monuments to Victor Emmanuel costing from §50,000 to §100,000 each, and Genoa is spending §30,000 on one to Mazzini. An old merchant said years ago that not more than one per cent, of the best class of merchants succeed without failing in Philadel phia. Not more than two per cent, of the mer chants of New York ultimately retire on an in dependence after having submitted to the usual ordeal of failure, and not more than three out of every hundred merchants in Bos ton acquire an independence. In Cincinnati, out of 400 business men in business twenty years ago, five are now doing business. Crockie Baldwin, of Philadelphia, is a nine ty-five-year-old cockatoo in the Zoological Gar den there. She is very garrulous and very cross. A white-haired citizen told the keeper the other day that when he was a boy, sixty odd years ago, he used to plague Crockie, who was then the pet of a Mrs. Baldwin, and noted for her conversational powers. Mrs. Baldwin gave the bird to a friend, who kept her twenty- five years. Then she was offered for sale in a bird store, where Mr. Cox, of Germantown, found her, bought her for eighty dollars and gave her to the Zoo. “No Physic, Sir, in Mine!” A good story comes from a boys’ boarding- school in “Jersey.” The diet was monoto nous and constipating, and the learned Prin cipal decided to introduce some old-style physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy results. One bright lad, the smartest in school, discovered the secret mine in his sauce, and pushing back his plate, shouted to the petagogue, “No physic, sir, in mine. My dad told me to use nuthin’ but Dr. Pierce’s ‘Pleasant Purgative Pellets,’ and they are a doing their duty like a charm!” They are anti-bilious, and purely vetetable. QllRPlftiPIT TALMAGE’S SERMON. Preacded in the Brookyn Taber nacle. Beookltn, May 8.—At the tabernacle this morning the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D , gave notice of the annual pilgrimage of his congregation, which this year will be to Mar tha’s Vineyard, Mass. It will begin July 1 and end July 7. Dr. Talmage will preach at Martha’s Vineyard on July 3, and deliver an oration on the 4th. Congregational singing at the tabernacle is led by a comet and organ. A boy choir chants twice during the service. The hymn sung by the congregation this morn ing begins : “Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near.’’ Dr. Talmage’s text was: “And His disciples went and told Jesus.”—Matthew xiv., 12. He said : An outrageous assassination has just taken place. To appease a revengeful woman King Herod ordered the death of that noble, self- sacrificing Christian, John the Baptist. The greup of the disciples were thrown into grief and dismay. They felt themselves utterly de fenseless. There was no authority to which they could appeal, and yet grief must always find expression. If there be no human ear to hear it, then the agonized soul will cry it aloud to the winds and the woods and the waters. But there was an ear that was willing to listen. There is a tender pathos, and at the same time a most admirable picture, in the words of my text: “They went and told Jesus.” He could understand all their grief, and He immediately soothed it. Our burdens are not more than half so heavy to carry if another is thrust under the other end of them. Here we find Christ, his brow shadowed with grief, standing amid the group of disciples, who—with tears, and violent gesticulations, and wringing of hands, and outcry of bereavement—are ex pressing their woe. Raphael, with his skillful brush putting upon the wall of a palace some scene of sacred story, gave not so skillful a stroke as when the plain hand of the evangel ist writes, ‘ They went and told Jesus.” The old Goths and Vandals once came down upon Italy from the North of Europe, and they upset the gardens, and they broke down the altars, and swept away everything that was good and beautiful. So there is ever and anon, in the history of all the sons and daughters of our race, an incursion of rough-handed troubles that come to plunder and ransack and put to the torch all that men highly prize. There is no cave so deeply cleft into the mountains as to allow us shelter, and the foot of fleetest courser cannot bear us beyond the quick pur suit. The arrows they put to the string fly with unerring dart until we fall pierced and stunned. I feel that I bring to you a most appropriate message. I mean to bind up all your griefs in to a bundle and set them on fire with a spark from God’s altar. The same prescription that cured the sorrow of the disciples will cure all your heart-aches. I have read that when God frey and his army marched out to capture Je rusalem, as they came over the hills, at the first flash of the pinnacles of that beautiful city the army that had marched in silence lifted a shout that made the earth tremble. O, you soldiers of Jesus Christ, marching on toward Heaven, I would that to-day, by some gleam from the palace of God’s mercy and God’s strength, you might be lifted into great re joicing, and that before this service is ended you might,raise oue glad hosanna to the Lord I In the first place, I commend the behavior of the disciples to all those in this audience who are sinful and unpardoned. There comes a time in almost every man’s history when he feels from some source that he has an erring nature. The thought may not have such heft as to fell him. It may only be like the flash of an evening cloud just after a very hot sum mer day. One man to get rid of that impres sion will go to prayer; another will stimulate himself with ardent spirits, and another man will drive deeper in secularises. But some times a man cannot get rid of these impres sions. The fact is, when a man finds out that his eternity is poised upon a perfect uncer tainty, and that the next moment his foot may slip, he must do something violent to make himself forget where he stands, or else fly for refuge. If there are any here who have resolved that they would rather die of this awful cancer of sin than to have the heavenly surgeon cut it out, let me say, my dear brother, you mingle for yourself a bitter cup. You fly in the face of your everlasting interests. You crouch un der a yoke and you bite the dust, when, this moment, you might rise up a crowned conquer or. Driven and perplexed and harrassed as you have been by sin, go and tell Jesus. To relax the grip of death from your soul, and plant your unshackled feet upon the golden throne, Christ, let the tortures of the bloody mount transfix Him. With the beam of His own cross He will break down the door of your dungeon. From the thorns of His own crown He will pick enough gems to make your brow blaze with eternal victory. In every tear on His wet cheek, in every gash of His side, in every long blackening mark of laceration from shoulder to shoulder, in the grave shat tering, heaven-storming death groan, I hear Him say, “Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out.” ‘Oh,” you say, “instead of curing my wound you want to make another wound, namely, that of conviction.” Have you ever known a surgeon to come and find a chronic disease, and then with sharp caustic burn it all out? So the grace of God comes to the old sore of sin. It has long been rankling there, but by divine grace it is burned out through these fires of conviction, “the flesh coming again as the flesh of a little child;” “where sin abound ed, grace much more aboundeth.” With the ten thousand unpardoned sins of your life, go and tell Jesus. You will never get rid of your sins in any other way; and remember that the broad invitation which I extend you will not always be extended. King Alfred, before modem time-pieces were invented, used to divide the day into three parts, eight hours each, and then had three wax candles. By the time the first can dle had burned to the socket, eight hours had gone, and when the second candle had burned to the socket, another eight hours bad gone, and when all the three candles were gone out, then the day had passed. Oh, that some of us instead of calculating our days, and nights, and years, by an earthly time-piece, might calculate them by the numbers of opportuni ties and mercies which are burning down and out, never to be relighted, lest at last we be amid the foolish virgins who cried: “Our lamps have gone out!” Again: I commend the behavior of the disci ples to all who are tempted. I have heard men in middle life say they had never been led into temptation. If you have not felt tempta tion it is because you have not trjed to do rffiht. A man hoppled and handcuffed, as long as he lies quietly, does not test the power of toe chain; but when he rises up, and with determination resolves to snap the hand cuff or break the hopple, then he finds the power of the iron. And there are men who have been for ten, and twenty ,and thirty years bound hand and foot by evil habits who have never felt the power of the chain, because they have never tried to break it. It is very easy to go on down with the stream and with the wind, lying on your oars; but just turn around, and try to go up against the wind and the tide, and you will find it is a different matter. As long as we go down the current of our evil habit we seem to get along quite smoothly; but if after awhile we turn around and head the other way, toward Christ, and pardon, and heaven, oh, then how we have to lay to the oars! You all have your temptation. You have one kind, you another, you another, not one persoB escaping. It is all folly for you to say to some one; “I could not be tempted as you are.” The lion thinks it is so strange that the fish should be dhught with a hook. The fish thinks it is so strange that the lion should be caught with a trap. You see some man with a cold, phleg matic temperament, and you say: “I suppose that man has not any' temptation.” Yes, as much as you have. In his phlegmatic nature he has a temptation to indolence and censori ousness and over-eatiDg and drinking; a temp tation to ignore the great work of life; a temp tation to lay down an obstacle in the way of all good enterprises. The temperament decides the styles of temptation; but sanguine or lym phatic, you will have temptation. Satan has a grappling-hook just fitted for your soul. A man never lives beyond the reach of tempta tion. You say when a man gets to be seventy or eighty years of age he is safe from all Satan ic assault. You are very much mistaken. A man at eighty-five years of age has as many temptations as a man at twenty-five. They are only different styles of temptation. Ask the aged Christian whether he is never assaulted of the powers of darkness. If you think you have conquered the power of temp tation you are very much mistaken. A man who wanted a throne pretended he was very weak and sickly, and if he was eleva ted he wsuld soon be gone. He crawled upon his crutches to the throne, and having at tained it, he was strong again. Ha said: “It was well for me while I was looking for the sceptre of another that I should stoop, but now that I have found it, why should I stoop any longer?” and he threw away his crutches and was well again. How illustrative of the power of temptation! You think it is a weak and crippled influence; but give it a chance, and it will be a tyrant in your soul; it will grind you to atoms. No man has finally and forever overcome temptation until he has left the world. But what are you to do with these temptations? Tell everybody about them? Ah, what a silly man you would be! As well might a commander in a fort send word to the enemy which gate of the castle is least barred, as for you to go and tell what all your frailties are. The world will only caricature you, will only scoff at you. What then must a man do? When the wave strikes him with terrific dash shall he have nothing to hold on to? In this contest with “the world, the flesh and the devil,” shall a man have no help, no counsel? Our text intimates something different. In those eyes that wept with the Bethany sisters I see shining hope. In that voice which spake until the grave broke and the widow of Nain had back her lost son, and the sea slept, and sorrow stupendous woke up in the arms of rapture—in that voice I hear the command and the promise, “Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He will sustain thee." Why should you carry your burdens any longer? Oh, you wea ry soul, Christ has been in this conflict. He says: My grace shall be sufficient for you. You shall not be tempted above that you are able to bear.” Therefore, with all your temp tations, go, as these disciples did, and tell Jesus. Again: I commend the behavior of the dig ciples to all those who are abused and slander ed and persecuted. When Herod put John to death the disciples knew that their own heads were not safe. And do you know that every John has a Herod? There are persons in life who do not wish you very well. Your mis fortunes are honeycombs to them. Through their teeth they hiss at you, misinterpret your motives, and would be glad to see you upset. No man gets through life without having a pumme ling. Some slanderer comes after you, horned and husked and hoofed, to gore and trample you; and what are you to do? I tell you plainly that all who serve Christ must suf fer persecution. It is the worst sign in the world for you to be able to say, “I haven’t an enemy in the world.” A woe is pronounced in the Bible against the one of whom every body speaks well. If you are at peace with all the world, and everybody likes you and approves your work, it is because you are an idler in the Lord’s vineyard and are not doing your duty. All those who have served Christ, however eminent, have been maltreated at some stage of their experience. You know it was so in the time of George Whitfield, when he stood and invited men into the kingdom of God. What did the learned Dr. Johnson say of him? He pronounced him a miserable mountebank. How was it when Robert Hall stood and spoke as scarcely any uninspired man ever did speak of the glories of Heaven? And as he stood Sabbath after Sabbath preaching on these themes his face kindled with the glory. John Foster, a Christian man, said of this man “Robert Hall is only acting, and the smile on his face is a reflection of his own vanity. John Wesley turned all England upside down with Christian reform, and yet the punsters were after him, and the meanest jokes in England were perpetrated about John Wesley. What is true of the pulpij; is true of the pew; it is true of the street, it is true of the shop and the store. All who will live Godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution. And I set it down as the very worst sign in all your Christian experience if you are,any of you, at peace with all the world. The religion of Christ is war. It is a challenge to "the world,"the flesh and the devil;” and if you will buckle on the whole armor of God, you will find a great host disputing your path between this and heaven. But what are you to do when you are assaulted and slandered and abused, as I suppose nearly all of you have been in your life? Go out and hunt up the slanderer? O, no, silly man, while you are explaining away a falsehood in one place, fifty people will just have heard of it in other places. I counsel you to another course. While you are not to omit any opportunity of setting yourselves right, I want to tell you this morn ing of one who had the hardest things said about Him, whose sobriety was disputed, whose mission was scouted, whose eompanionship was denounced, who was pursued as a babe and spit upon as a man, who wa3 howled at after He was dead. I will have you go unto Him with your bruised soul, in some humble, child-prayer, saying: “I see Thy wounds— wounds of head, wounds of feet, wounds of heart. Now, look at my wounds, and see what I have suffered, and through what bat tles I am going; and I entreat Thee, by these wounds of Thine, sympathise with me.” And He will symyathise, and He will help. Go and tell Jesus! Again: I commend the behavior of the disci ples to all who may have been bereaved. How many in garb of mourning! If you could stand at this point where I am standing and look off upon this audience, how many signals of sor row you would behold. God has His own way of taking apart a family. We must get out of the way for coming generations. We must get off the stage that others may come on, and for this reason there is a long procession reach ing down all the time into the valley of shadows. This emigration from time into eternity is so vast an enterprise, that we cannot under stand it. Every hour we hear the clang of the sepulchral gate. The sod must be broken. The ground must be ploughed for resurrection harvest. Eternity must be peopled. The dust must presss our eyelids. “It is appointed unto all men once to die.” This emigration from time into eternity keeps three-fourths of the families of the earth in desolation. The air is rent with farewells and the black tasselled vehicles of death rumble thiough every street. The body of the child that was folded so closely to the mother’s heart is put away in the cold and the darkness. The laughter freezes to the girl’s lip, and the rose scatters. The boy in the harvest fields of Shuman says: “My head! my head!” and they carry him home to die on tbe lap of his mother. Widowhood stands with tragedies of woe struck into the pallor of the cheek. Orphanage cries in vain for father and mother. Oh, the grave is cru el! With teeth of stone, it clutches for its prey. Between the closing gates of the sepul chre our hearts are mangled aud crushed. Is there any earthly solace? None. We come to the obsequies, we sit with the grief-stricken, we talk pathetically to their soul, but soon the obsequies have passed, the carriages have left us at the door, the friends who stayed for a few days are gone, and the heart sits in deso lation listening for the little feet that will nev er again patter through the hall, or looking for the entrance of those who will never come again, sighing into the darkness, ever and anon coming across some book or garment or little shoe or picture, that arouses former associa tion, almost killing the heart. Long days and nights of suffering that wear out the spirit, and expunge the bright lines of life, and give the haggardness to the face, and draw the flesh tight down over the cheek bone, and draw dark lines under the sunken eye, and the hand is tremulous, and the voice is husky and uncertain, and the grief is wearing, grinding, accumulating, exhausting. Now, what are such to do? Are they mere ly to look up into a brazen and unpitying heaven? Are they to walk a blasted heath unfed of stream, unsheltered by overarching tree? Has God turned us out on the barren common to die? Oh, no! no! no! He has not. He comes with sympathy and kindness and love. He understands all our grief. He sees the height, and the depth, and the length, and the breadth of it. He is the only one that can fully sympathize. Go and tell Jesus. Some times when we have trouble we go to our friends and we explain it, and they try to sympathize; but they do not understand it. They cannot understand it. But Christ sees all over it, and all through it. He not only counts the tears and records the groans, but before the tears started, before the groans be gan, Christ saw the inmost hidingplace of your sorrow; and He takes it, and He weighs it, and He measures it, and He pities it with an all- absorbing pity. Bone ot our bone. Flesh of our flesh. Heart of our heart. Sorrow of our sorrow. As long as He remembers Lazaru’ grave He will stand by you in the cemetery. As long as He remembers His own heart break, He will stand by you in the laceration of your affec tions. When He forgets the foot-sore way, the sleepless nights, the weary body, the ex hausted mind, the awfnl cross, the solemn grave, then He will forget you, but not until then. Often when we were in trouble we sent for our friends; but they were far away, they could not get to us. We wrote to them: “Come right away,” or telegraphed: “Take the next train.” They came at last, yet were a great while in coming, or perhaps were too late. But Christ is always near—before you, behind you, within you. No mother ever threw her arms around her child with such warmth and ecstacy of affection as Christ has shown towards you. Close at hand—nearer than the staff upon which you lean, nearer than the cup you put to your lip, nearer than the handkerchief with which you wipe away your tears—I preach him an ever-present, all sympathizing, compassionate Jesus. How can you stay away one moment from Him with your griefs? Go now. Go and tell Jesus. It is often that our friends have no power to relieve us. They would very much like to do it, but they cannot disentangle our finances. They cannot cure our sickness and raise our dead; but glory be to God that He to whom the disciples went has all power in Heaven and on earth, and at our call He will balk our calamities; and, at just the right time, in the presence of an applauding earth and a re sounding Heaven, will raise our dead. He will do it. He is mightier than Herod. He is swifter than the storm. He is grander than the sea. lie is vaster than eternity. And every sword of God’s omnipotence will leap from its scabbard, and all the resources of in finity be exhausted, rather than that God’s child shall not be delivered when he cries to Him for rescue. Suppose your child was in trouble; how much would you endure to get him out? You would go through any hardship. You would say: “I don’t care what it will cost; I must get him ont of that trouble.” Do you think God is not so good a father as you? Seeing you are in trouble, and bavin, all power, will lie not stretch out His arm and deliver you? He will. He is mighty to save. He can level the mountain and divide the sea, and can extinguish the fire and save the soul. Not dim of eye, not weak of arm, not feeble of resources, but with all eternity and the uni verse at His feet. Go and tell Jesus. Will you? Ye whose cheeks are wet with the night dew of the grave; ye who cannot look up; ye whose hearts are dried with the breath of a sirocco; in the name of the religion of Jesus Christ, which lifts every burden and wipes away every tear and delivers every captive and lightens every darkness, I implore you now go and tell Jesus. A little child went with her father, a sea captain, to sea, and when the first storm came the little child was very much frightened, and in the night rushed out of the cabin and said: “Where is father? Where is father?” Then they told her: “Father is on deck guiding the vessel and watching the storm.” The little child immediately returned to her berth and said : “It’s ‘ all right, for father’s on deck.” Ob, ye who are tossed and driven in this world, up by the mountains and down by the valleys, and at your wit’s end, I want you to know the Lord God is guiding the ship. Your Father is on deck. He will bring you through the dark ness into the harbor. Trust in the Lord. Go and tell Jesus. Let me say that if you do not you will have no comfort here, and you will forever be an outcast and a wanderer. Your death will be a sorrow. Your eternity will be a disaster. But if you go to Him for p irdon and sym pathy, all is well. Everything will brighten up, and joy will come to the heart and sorrow will depart; your sins will be forgeven and your foot will touch the upward path; and the shining messengers that report above what is done here, will tell it until the great arches of God resound with the glad tidings, if now, with contrition and full trustfulnes of soul, you will only go and tell Jesus. • But, I am oppressed when I look over this audience, at the prospect that some may not take this counsel, and go away unblessed. I cannot help asking what will be the destiny of these people? So I never care whether it comes into the text or not; I never leave my place on this platform without telling that now is the accepted time, and to some, perhaps the ast time. Xerxes looked off on his army. There were two million men—perhaps the finest army ever marshalled. Xerxes rode along the lines, reviewed them, came back, stood on some high point looked off upon the two million men and burst into tears. At that moment, when every one supposed he would be in the greatest ex ultation, he broke down in grief. They asked him why he wept. “Ah,” he said, “I weep at the thought that so soon all this host will be dead.” So I stand looking off upon this host of immortal men and women, and realize the fact, as perhaps no man can, unless he has been in similar position, that soon the places which know you now will know you no more, and you willlbe gone—whither? whither? There is a stirrring idea when the poet put in a very peculiar verse, which he says: “Tis not for man to trifle; life is brief, And sin is here; Our age is but the falling of a leaf— A dropping tear. Not many lives, but only one have we— One, only one; How sacred should that one life ever be— That narrow span.” J£atiroa&0* RAILROAD TIME TABLE.
