WHEN JANIE MILKED THE COWS.
BY HEI.ES WHITNEY CLARKE.
The daisy held her dainty cap
To catcb tbe dew-drops bright;
Tbe bee bad kissed tbe closer-tops
And bade tbem all good night;
Tbe katydid bad toned ber song
Among tbe apple boughs.
And tarther stretched the sbadows long
When Janie milked tbe cows.
Tbe swallows flitted here and there,
Tbe bat bad left bis bower,
The primrose, with a bashful air,
Unclosed her petaled flower;
Tbe whippoorwill bis plaintive tale
Proclaimed ’neath wooded bougbs,
And twilight dropped ber dusky vail,
While Janie milked tbe cows.
Ard Ben, the plowboy, strolling by,
Comes thro 1 tbe open bars,
Wbl'e softly In tbe western sky
Bbine out tbe trarqull stars.
And while tbe corn-olades whisper low,
Two lovers pledge ttelr vows,
Amid tbe twilight’s purple glow,
While Janie milks the cows.
A little cottage, snng and new.
With hop-vines at tbe door;
Tbe sunbeams peeping softly thro
Lie dancing on the floor.
And when tbe first pale evening stars
SMne thro’ tne forest bougbs,
Xnuue Farmer Ben, beside tbe bars,
Helps Janie milk the cows.

Some Hens and Hen Products.
The following highly interesting items have
come under our observation during the past
month, and have excited no inconsiderable in
terest. They are entitled to careful considera
tion.
It wili be observed that the cases of the two
hens which, each, laid three eggs in one day,
and the most remarkable of the three hatching
incidents occurred in North Carolina, remote
from each other—one in the northern and tue
other in the southern part of the State. The
two other hatching incidents occurred, one in
Illinois and one in Indiana. The hatching in
Illinois is not so remarkable—the hatching in
the North Carolina case excites much more in
terest—while the hatching in Indiana must be
regarded as extraordinary, inasmuch as the
eggs had probably been transported on wagon
or rail—possibly on both.
The Durham, (N. C.,) Tobacco Plant of a re
cent date says:
“Col. Hammett has a hen, a Plymouth Rock,
which he bought some time ago from Mr. C.
D. Whitaker. This hen celebrated the 4th by
laying three eggs. Col. Hammett saw the hen
when she laid the eggs, and knows the same
hen laid the three. AH three eggs were per
fect except two had soft shells. Who can beat
this.”
Now, curiously enough, it had already been
beaten. From a letter to the Sunny South,
dated July 1st, at Clarkton, Bladen county, N.
C., and received on the 2d, we quote as fol
lows:
“Mrs. E. Meares has a hen that has not
missed laying an egg everyday since January
1st. She has another hen that laid three eggs
in one day.”
The date of this exploit is not given. The
incidents, however, are quite interesting, and
may stimulate experiments with a view to dem
onstrating the possibilities of poultry product.
In regard to the hatchings, the Plano (111.)
News reports that a farmer near there had a
sitting hen to sicken and die about a week be
fore hatching time. The eggs were left in the
nest, abandoned as good for naught; but “in
the fullness of time” the family were made
glad by the anxious chirps of a fine brood of
chicks.
The Greenesboro, N. C., Workman, of July
20th, reports that a lady in South Greenesboro
set a hen in a barn loft, which, on account of
heat or for other cause, left the nest within a
week. Two weeks afterwards the chirping of
-chicks attracted attention, and investigation
developed seven young birds, which were
placed in a bird cage and are doing well.
A dispatch from Indianapolis, 20th July, re
lates that a firm received and stored (some time
ago) a consignment of eggs. When, that morn
ing, the lid was removed from a case of the
eggs, “the low call of chicks sounded in his
ears. One entire layer of eggs was found to be
hatching out, and in a few minutes after the
eggs were brought to light fifteen well-devel
oped ‘orphans’ picked their way through the
shells. Another layer of eggs began to hatch
about noon, and it now looks as though the en
tire consignment'will hatch.”
We think the above group of apparently well
authenticated facte are worthy the attention of
poultry raisers and fanciers.
The King Orange.
Mr. Lyman Phelps, of Sanford, Fla., in the
Florida Dispatch, says that he lately received
from C. E. Cutler, of Riverside, Cal., a very
handsome orange, “The King,” size seventy-
six, color that of the Mandarin, skin a trifle
thicker than the Mandarin, orange more heavy
and more solid or compact, shape very like the
Satsuma. The orange pleased him very much.
If it can be kept ripening as late as its period
of maturity in California (June), it will be very
much to be desired.
He proposes to take care of the buds he has
growing to see what Florida’s favorable climate
will do for it. He confidently expects to show
the fruit two years from the coming winter,
possibly a year from next summer.
This is Mr. Cutler’s description: “The King
is sui generis the strongest acid, and, in its
best, ripened specimens, the finest orange I
have ever tasted. It reproduces itself from
seed- is very thorny and rigid and upright in
growth; very late (now June 1st), is about rips,
rough and free rind, ovals, blossoms very small
and with little perfume. Altogether, the tree
is the least beautiful of orange trees. It was
imported from Saigon, Cochin China, under
government seal, by Dr. S. R. Magee, of River-
side. I have been the first to fruit it. Had
two specimens last year, and had two to three
boxes this year.” . _
The firm of Twogood & Cutler are well
known, and any statements they may make
will be trustworthy.
Mr. Phelps will plant the seeds of this orange
and test the reproduction. Its strong charac
ter would naturally lead one to the belief that
it would reproduce itself, and in our favoring
climatic conditions possibly improve.
A gooseberry bush is growing amazingly fif
teen feet from the ground in the forks of a
large elm tree at Newton, N. J. It is now fif
teen feet in height, and supposed to be the
product of a seed deposited there by birds.
It is estimated that 60,000 trees have been
planted in Nebraska by female hands during
the past three years.
The net profits from the sale of small fruit
by two young ladies in California last year,
one of whom was a consumptive when she be
gan, amounted to the handsome sum of §15,-
000.
Large Tomato.
The Greensboro, N. C-, Workman, of a re
cent date, was presented by Rev. F. M. Keith,
of South Greensboro, with a tomato of his own
growing that weighed twenty and one half
ounces. This rather rui 4 ahead in the race of
tomatoes.
Oat and Wh;at Yields.
John H. Coker harves ed one of the finest
oat crops ever gathered .n Dougherty county,
Ga. From 110' acres he threshed out 1,900
bushels, besides feeding a great many away in
tbe straw. Mr. L. B. Partin, of Dyer county,
Tenn., threshed 830 bushels of wheat from 38
acres of land; an averags of 22 bushels to the
acre.
The Orange Outlook.
An orange tree on the premises of Prof. B.
Gould, at Orlando, Fla., has ripe fruit on it
from last year’s crop and young oranges of
this season’s growth. Not content with this,
it is blooming again.
At Como orange trees look better than ever
before. Mr. Potter’s grove is in model condi
tion. A few months ago insects were rather
troublesome, both scale and soft shell, but two
or three applications of soap and kerosene
(Hubbard’s formula) left the trees perfectly
clear and in splendid health.
Elam B. Carlton, of Fort Ogden, Fla., has
two alligator pear trees, four years old, in full-
bearing with fruit of two pounds weight. He
is so delighted with their success here that he
will plant a grove of them.
Strange Kind or Hen.
“My dear,” said Mrs. Ferguson Montgom
ery to her husband, “why do they keep that
hen in the dime museum? I don’t see any
thing about it different from the ordinary
fowl.”
Ferguson opened his eyes in mild surprise.
“Well, well, didn’t you notice? That hen is
one of the most interesting features of the
Dime. It hasn’t any teeth.”
“Is it possible?” meditatively replied the
spouse. “Well, I must go down again.”—Min
neapolis Journal.
Trees as Wire Fence Posts.
It is possible to use fruit trees for fence
posts when wire is the material employed.
The wires should not be tacked directly upon
the tree, but a strip of board nailed to it and
the wire attached to that. Apple trees planted
thirty feet apart will need a light stake be
tween to keep the wire from sagging. With
trees in the fence it is not best to try to plow
closely to them, but get the ground seeded and
leave a strip of eight or ten feet in grass which
should be mown and saved. This headland in
grass is convenient for turning around on at
the end of rows when cultivating in hoed crops.
Texas Peaches and Crapes.
The following items are from two centrally
located Texas counties:
A gentleman near Fredonia, San Saba
county, has succeed in raising fine Malaga
grapes from grafts on the mustang root.
Tne Pittsburg, Bell county, Gazette, says:
The peaches sent us last week by Dr. J. T.
Musiak, were a perfect curiosity in size, some
of them measuring about ten and one half
inches in circumference, and we were satisfied
nobody could out-peach him; but now comes
Judge M. L. Morris with some of the same
variety measuring eleven and one half inches
in circumference and weighing fourteen and
one half ounces. Hasn’t somebody got some
just a little bigger still?
A Veritable Manure Mine.
If you have no basement under the bam and
have not dug out under the stable floor for a
long time, just take up the floor and dig out
that part of the manure which has been accu
mulating there in the soil for so many years.
Spread it over a number of acres of plowed
land for a crop, remembering not to put on too
much to the acre and to thoroughly cultivate it
in. Take from three to four feet deep, under
where the urine would soak, of the soil and
hard pan or whatever it may be. There are
millions of dollars’ worth of this fertilizing
property lying dormant which ought to be
used. You will receive benefit for years to
come by acting on this suggestion.—Farm and
Home.
Working Young Colts.
A colt from draught stock or for farm pur
poses alone should be broken when two years
old, and may even then be put at light work
provided it is not continued so long as to over
tax the strength. Perhaps the work done will
be worth little more than the time required to
get it, but it is important for the muscular de
velopment on which the future value of ahorse
must depend. Even when three years old the
colt should not be put at heavy work, but more
can be done with him if he has been mildly
worked the previous season. A colt that grows
up till three or four years eld before being
broken in and having his muscles hardened,
finds himself possessed of more strength than
he can use without injury to himself. Trot
ting stock is now handled to secure earlier de
velopment.
New Use for Cotton Stalks.
Mr. Daniel Dennett writes as follows in the
New Orleans Picayune: We learn that some
of the farmers around Summit, Miss., are get
ting more profits from their standing cotton
stalks than from their baled lint. After the
cotton is harvested they clip the tops and
branches of the stalks, clear off and plow thor
oughly and fertilize, and at the proper season
plant peas for market, a row on each side, both
rows supported by the cotton stalks. They
say that early peas always bring a good price
in all of the markets, the only drawback hav
ing been the trouble and expense of sticking
them. Grown on old cotton stalks the stick
ing costs almost nothing. If this is as great a
success as they claim for it, early peas can be
raised for Western and Eastern cities, all the
way from the Gulf shore to the Ohio river.
In southern Louisiana the gardeners often
plant pea3 in the latter part of December.
Southern Louisiana and Mississippi and Flor
ida can send peas to market late in February
and early in March in large quantities. The
climate will to the end of time give the South
ern States the monopoly of the early pea in
dustry.
Cheapness of Ensilage.
A leading farmer and stock raiser of Virgin
ia, has furnished the Staunton Vindicator the
following account of his experience with a silo:
Last August I put up a framed building
12x12 and 12 feet high. The frame is eight
inches, planked up on both sides. The space
between was filled with sawdust I put in a
plank floor and covered with plank, with a
door in one corner at the ground. The build
ing did not cost more than §20, with an esti
mated capacity of 30 tons. On August 23rd
green com was cut Not having planted the
com for this purpose, and only as an experi
ment, I selected the lightest growth in the
cornfield. The com was cut in half inch
lengths by steam power, and during the filling
of the silo three men tramped the cut fodder as
tight as they could pack it The silo was filled
only half full, not feeling sure that this plan of
house would keep it well. The top was then
covered with one and a half feet of wheat chaff
and placed loose planks, closely fitted, cover
ing the ensilage top. Upon the plank was but
two feet of stone. The gable ends were nailed
up, and the job was complete at a cost of about
§1 per ton. ...
On December 5th I opened the door at the
bottom, made for the purpose of getting the
ensilage out. 1 found it in splendid condition,
except a few inches around the sides and on
top. Fearing there would be some trouble to
teach stock to eat it, some of the ensilage was
offered to horses, cows and hogs—all ate it at
once with as much relish as if it was green
clover. After feeding the ensilage a few days
to cows they increased their flow of milk, be
sides giving a richer quality. The stock,
which have been fed upon ensilage alone, ex
cept access to a straw stack, have increased in
weight and manifest an increased appetite and
taste for it. It is said that green clover, cut
when in bloom, makes as good ensilage as
green com.

The eldest daughter of Sitting Bull died a few
days ago at Standing Rock, Dakota. Reports
received at Bismarck show that the old chii f
drove all his enemies from the tent. He was
determined to show his grief by the killing of
his enemies, and they became so frightened
that they deserted their tents and fled for safe
ty. A number of squaws were seen on ration
day with their limbs cut and torn with knives
to show their grief over the death of Bull’s
daughter.
A curious freak of electricity is reported
from Cundinamarca in Panama. A farmer had
been superintending some work in tbe fields
and had left his men to return home, when he
was surrounded by an electric flame, which dis
appeared as quickly as it came. The victim’s
left eye was damaged, and the eyebrow was
burned completely off. The hair surrounding
hia ears, a part of his beard and all the hair on
his breast were burned off, all the brass but
tons disappeared from his clothing, his watch
chain was cut in two, a small hole was bored
through his watch case, and the watch glass
was shattered and his right side was burned.
He suffered severely, but is recovering rapidly

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Senators Vest, Plumb, Allison, Farwell and
Cameron have left Helena, Mont., for Alaska.
Ex-Governor Hanson accompanied them.
The Hamptons, July 31.—The Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage’s sermon for this morning was
on the “Employments of Heaven,” a ,- .d his
text 1st verse, chap. 1, of Ezekiel: “Now it
came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth
month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was
among the captives by the river of Chebar, that
the heavens were opened.”
Ezekiel, with others, had been expatriated,
and while in foreign slavery was standing on
the banks of the royal canal which he and
other serfs had been condemned to dig by the
order of Nebuchadnezzar—this royal canal, in
the text, called the river of Chebar. The illus
trious exile had visions of Heaven. Indeed it
is almost always so that the brightest, visions
of Heaven come not to those who are on the
mountain top of prosperity, but to some John
on desolate Palmes, or to some Paul in Mam-
ertine dungeon, or to some Ezekiel standing
on the banks of a ditch he had been compelled
to dig—yea, to the weary, to the heart-broken,
to those whom sorrow has banished.
The text is very particular to give us the ex
act time of the visioff It was in the thirtieth
year, and in the fourth month, and in the fifth
day of the month. So you have had visions of
earth you shall never forget. You remember
the year, you remember the month, you re
member the day, you remember the hour.
Why may not we have some such vision this
morning, and it be in the sixth month and in
the fourth day of the month?
The question is often silently asked, though
perhaps never audibly propounded: “What
are our departed Christian friends doing now?’’
The question i3 more easily answered tnan you
might perhaps suppose. Though there has
come no recent intelligence from the Heavenly
city, and we seem dependent upon the story of
eighteen centuries ago, still I think we may
from strongest inference decide what are the
present occupations of our transferred kins
folk.
After God has made a nature He never erad
icates the chief characteristics of its tempera
ment. You never knew a man phlegmatic in
temperament to become sanguine in tempera
ment. You never knew a man sanguiaein
temperament to become phlegmatic in temper
ament. Conversion plants new principles in
the soul, but Paul and John are just as differ
ent from each other after conversion as they
were different from each other before conver
sion. If conversion does not eradicate the
prominent characteristics of the temperament,
neither will death eradicate them.
You have, then, only by a sum in subtraction
and a sum in addition to decide what are the
employments of your departed friends in the
better world. You are to subtract from them
all earthly grossness and add all earthly good
ness, and then you are to come to the conclu
sion that they are doing now in Heaven what
in their best moments they did on earth. The
reason that so many people never start for
Heaven is because they could not stand it if
they got there, if it should turn out to be the
rigid and formal place some people photograph
it.
We like to come to church, but we should
not want to stay here to next Christmas. We
like to hear the hallelujah chorus, but we would
not want to hear it all the time for fifty centu
ries. It might be on some great occasion it
would be possibly comfortable to wear a crown
of gold weighing sejieral pounds, but it would
be an affliction to wear such a crown forever.
In other words, we run descriptions of Heaven
into the ground, while we make that which was
intended as especial and celebrative to be the
exclusive employment of the Heaven. You
might as well, as if asked to describe the habits
of American society, describe a decoration day,
or a fourth of July, or an autumnal thanksgiv
ing as though it were all the time that way.
I am not going to speculate in regard to the
future world, but I must by inevitable laws of
inference and deduction and common sense
conclude that in Heaven we will be just as dif
ferent from each other as we are now different,
and hence that there will be at leaBt as many
different employments in the celestial world as
there are employments here. Christ is to be
the great love, the great joy, the great rapture,
the great worship of Heaven; but will that abol
ish employment? No more than loves on
earth—paternal, filial, fraternal, conjugal love
abolish earthly occupation.
In the first place, I remark that all those of
our departed Christian friends who on earth
found great joy in the fine arte, are now in
dulging their tastes in the same direction. On
earth they had their gladdest pleasures amid
pictures and statuary, and in the study of the
laws of light and shade and perspective. Have
you any idea that that affluence of faculty at
death collapsed and perished? Why sc, when
there is more for them to look at, and they
have keener appreciation of the beautiful, and
they stand amid the very looms where the sun
sets and the rainbowB and the spring mornings
are woven?
Are you so obtuse as to suppose that be
cause the painter drops bis easel and the sculp
tor his chisel and the engraver his knife, that
therefore the taste which he was enlarging and
intensifying for forty or fifty years, is entirely
obliterated? These artists, or these friends
of art, on earth worked in coarse material and
with imperfect brain, and with frail hand.
Now they have carried their art into larger
liberties and into wider circumference. They
are at their old business yet, but without the
fatigues, without the limitations, without the
hindrance of the terrestrial studio.
Raphael could now improve upon hi3 mas-
tei piece of Michael, the Archangel, not that
he has seen him, and coaid improve upon his
masterpiece of the Holy Family now that he
has visited them. Michael Angelo could better
present the Last Judgment after he had seen
its flash and heard the rumbling battering
rams of its thunder. Exquisite colors here,
graceful lines here, powerful chiaroscuro here;
but I am persuaded that tbe grander studios
and the brighter galleries are higher up by the
winding marble stairs of the sepulchre, and
that Turner, and Holman, Hunt, and Rem
brandt, and Titian, and Paul Veronese, if they
exercised saving faith in the Christ whom they
portrayed upon the canvas, are painteis yet.
But their strength of faculty multiplied ten
thousand fold. The reason that God took
away their eye and their hand, and their brain,
was that he might give them something more
limber, more wieldy, more skillful, more mul-
tiplitant.
Do not, therefore, be melancholy among the
tapestries, and the bric-a-brac, and the em
broideries, and the water-colors, and the works
of art which your departed friends used to ad
mire. Do not say: “I am sorry they had to
leave all these things.” Rather say: “I am
glad they have gone up to higher artistic op
portunity and appreciation.” Our friends who
found so much joy in the fine arte on earth are
now luxuriating in Louvres and Luxembourgs
celestial.
I remark again, that all our departed Chris
tian friends who, in this world, weie passion
ately fond of music are still regaling that taste
in the world celestial. The Bible says so much
about the music of heaven that it cannot ail be
figurative. Tbe Bible over and over again
speaks of the songs of heaven. If heaven had
no songs of its own a vast number of those of
earth would have been taken up by the earthly
emigrants. Sorely the Christian at death does
not lose his memory. Then there must be mil
lions of souls in heaven who know “Corona
tion,” and “Antioch,” and “Mount Pisgah,”
and “Old Hundred.” The leader of the eter
nal orchestra need only once tap his baton, and
all heaven will be ready for the hallelujah.
Cannot the soul sing? How often we com
pliment some exquisite singer by saying:
“There was se much soul in her music." In
heaven it will be all soul until the body after
awhile comes up in the resurrection, and then
there will be an additional heaven. Cannot
the soul hear? H it can hear, then, it can hear
music. Do not, therefore, let it be in your
household when some members leaves for
hvaven, as it is in some households, that you
close the piano and unstring the harp for two
years, because the fingers that used to play on
them are still. Yon must remember that they
have better instruments of music where they
are.
You ask me: “Do they have real harps and
real trumpets and real organs?” I do not
know. Some wiseacres say positively there
are no such things in heaven. I do not know,
but I should not be surprised if the God who
made all the mountains and all the hills and
all the forests and all the metals of the earth
and all the growths of the universe—I should
not be surprised if He could, if He had a mind
to, make a few harps and trumpets and or-
gacs.
Grand old Haydn, sick and worn out, was
carried for the last time into the music hall,
and there he heard his own oratorio of the
“Creation.” History says that as the orches
tra came to the famous passage: “Let there
be light,” tbe whole audience rose and cheered,
and Haydn waved his hand toward heaven and
said: “It comes from there.” Overwhelmed
with his own music he was carried out in his
chair, and as he came to the door he spread
his hand toward the orchestra as in benedic
tion.
Haydn was right when he waved his hand
toward heaven and said: “It comes from
there.”
Music was born in heaven and it will ever
have its highest throne in heaven; and I want
you to understand that our departed friends
who were passionately fond of music here are
now at the headquarters of harmony. I think
that the grand old church tunes that died when
your grandfathers died have gone with them
to heaven. *
Again, I remark that those of our departed
Christian friends who in this world have very
strong military soirit are now in armies celes
tial and oat on bloodless battle. There are
hundreds of people bom soldiers. They can
not help it They belong to regiments in time
of peace. They caDnot hear a drum or fife
without trying to keep step to the music.
They are Christians and when they fight they
fight on the right side. Now when these, our
Christian friends, who had natural and pow
erful military spirit, entered heaven, they en
tered the celestial army.
The door of Heaven hardly opens but you
hear a military demonstration. David cried
out: “The chariots of God are twenty thou
sand.’’ Elisha saw the mountain filled with
celestial cavalry. St. John said: “The armies
which are in Heaven followed him on white
horses.” Now, when those who had the mili
tary spirit on earth sanctified entered glory, I
suppose they right away enlisted in some
Heavenly campaign, they volunteered right
away. There must needs be in Heaven sol
diers with a soldierly spirit. There are grand
parade days when the King reviews the troops.
There must be armed escort sent out to bring
up from earth to Heaven those who were more
than conquerors. There must be crusades ever
being fitted out for some part of God’s domin
ion—battles, bloodless, groanless, painless.
Angels of evil to be fought down and fought
back. Other rebellious worlds to be conquered.
Worlds to be put to the torch. Worlds to be
saved. Worlds to be demolished. Worlds to
be sunk. Worlds to be hoisted.
Beside that, in our own world there are bat
tles for the right and against the wrong where
we must have tbe Heavenly military. That is
what keeps us Christian reformers so buoyant.
So few good men against so many grog-shops,
so few pure printing presses against so many
polluted printing presses; and yet we are buoy
ant and courageous, because while we know
that the armies of evil in the world are larger
in numbers than the army of the truth, there
are celestial cohorts in the air fighting on our
side.
I have not so much faith in the army on the
ground as I have in the army in the air. O,
God! open our eyes that we may see them.
The military spirits that went up from earth
tc join the military spirits before the throne—
Joshna, and Caleb, and Gideon, and David,
and Samson, and the hundreds of Christian
warriors who on earth fought with fleshly arm,
and now haviug gone up on high are coming
down the hills of Heaven ready to fight among
the invisibles. Yonder they are—coming,
coming. Did you not hear them as they swept
by.
But what are our mathematical friends to do
in the next world? They found their joy and
their delight in mathematics. There was more
poetry for them in Euclid than in John Milton.
They were as passionately fond of mathemat
ics as Plato, who wrote over his door: “Let
no one enter here who is not acquainted with
geometry.” What are they doing now? They
are busy with figures yet. No place in all the
universe like heaven for figures. Numbers in
finite, distances infinite, calculation infinite.
The didactic Dr. Dick said he really thought
that the redeemed in heaven spent some of
their time with the higher branches of mathe
matics.
Some of our transferred and transported
metaphysicians. What are they doing now?
Studying the human mind, only under better
circumstances than they used to study it.
They used to study the mind Bheathed in the
doll, human body. Now the spirit unsheathed
—now they are studying the sword oatside the
scabbard. Have you any doubt about what
Sir William Hamilton is doing in heaven, or
what Jonathan Edwards is doing in heaven, or
tbe multitudes on earth who had a passion for
metaphysics sanctified by the grace of God?
No difficulty in guessing. Metaphysics, glori
ous metaphysics, everlasting metaphysics.
What are our departed Christian friends
who are explorers doing now? Exploring yet,
but with lightning locomotion, with vision mi
croscopic and telescopic at the same time. A
continent at a glance. A world in a second.
A planetary system in a day. Christian John
Franklin no more in the disabled Erebus push
ing toward the north pole, Christian DeLong
no more trying to free blockaded Jeannette
from the ice, Christian Livingstone no more
amid African malarias trying to make revela
tion of a dark contineat; but ail of them in the
twinkling of an eye taking in that which was
unapproachable. Mont Blanc scaled without
alpenstock. The coral depths of the ocean ex
plored without a diving bell. The mountains
unbarred and opened without Sir Humphrey
Davy’s safety lamp.
What are our departed friends who found
their chief joy in study doing now? Studying
yet, but instead of a few thousand volumes on
a few shelves, all the volumes of the universe
open before them—geologic, ornithologic, con-
chologic, botanic, astronomic, philosophic. No
more need of Leyden-jars, or voltaic piles, or
electric batteries, standing as they do face to
face with the facte of the universe.
What are the historians doing now? Study
ing history yet, but not the history of a few
centuries of our planet only, but the history of
the eternities—whole millenniums before Xenc-
iphon, or Herodotus, or Moses, or Adam was
bom. History of one world, history of all
worlds.
What are our departed astronomers doing?
Studying astronomy yet, but not through the
dull lens of earthly observatory, but with one
stroke of wing going right out to Jupiter and
Mars and Mercury and Saturn and Orion and
the Pleiades—overtaking and passing swiftest
comet in their flight. Herschel died a Chris
tian. Have you any doubt about what Her
schel is doing? Isaac Newton died a Chris
tian. Have you any doubt about what Isaac
Newton te doing? Joseph Henry died a Chris
tian. Have you any doubt about what Joseph
Henry is doing? They were in discussion, all
these astronomers of earth, about what the au
rora borealis was, and none of them could
guess. They know now; they have been out
there to see for themselves.
What are our departed Christian chemists
doing? Following out their own science, fol
lowing out and following out forever. Since
they died they have solved ten thousand ques
tions which once puzzled the earthly laborato
ry. They stand on the other side of the thin
wall of electricity, the wall that seems to di
vide the physical from the spiritual world, the
thin wall of electricity, so then the wall that
ever and anon it seems to be almost broken
through—broken through from our side by
telephonic and telegraphic apparatus, broken
through from the other side by strange influ
ences which men in their ignorance call spiriw
ualistic manifestations. All that matter cleared
up. Agassk standing amid his student ex
plorers down in Brazil coming across some
great novelty in the rocks, taking off his hat
and saying: “Gentlemen, let ns pray; we
must have divine illumination; we want wis
dom from the Creator to study these rocks; He
made them; let us pray’’—Agassiz going right
on with his studies torever and forever.
But what are the men of the law, who, in
this world, found their chief joy in the legal
profession—what are they doing now? Study
ing law in a universe where everything is con
trolled by law from flight of humming bird to
flight of world—law, not dry and hard and
drudging, but righteous and magnificent law
before which man and cherub and seraph and
archangel and God himself bow. The chain of
law long enough to wind around the immensi
ties and infinity and eternity. Chain of law.
What a place to study law, where all the links
of the chain are in hand!
What are our departed Christian friends who,
in this world, had their joy in the healing art,
doing now? Busy at their old business. No
sickness in heaven, but plenty of sickness on
earth, plenty of wounds in tbe different parte
of God’s dominion to be healed and to be med
icated. You cannot understand why that pa
tient got well after all the skillful doctors of
New York and Brooklyn had saJd-he must die.
Perhaps Abercrombie touched him—Abercrom
bie, who, after many years doctoring the bodies
and the souls of people in Scotland, went up
to God in 1844. Perhaps Abercrombie touched
him.
I should not wonder if my old friend, Dr.
John Brown, who died in Edinburg—-John
Brown, the author of “Rab and His Friends,”
—John Brown, who was as humble a Christian
as be was skilful a physician and world-re
nowned author—I should not wonder if he had
been back again and again to see some of his
old patients. Those who had their joy in
healing tbe sickness and tbe woes of earth,
gone up to heaven, are come forth again for
benignant medicament.
But what are our friends who found their
chief joy in conversation and in sociality doing
now? In brighter conversation there and in
grander sociality.
What a place to visit in, where your next-
door neighbors are kings and queens. You,
yourselves, kingly and queenly. If they want
to know more particularsly about the first para
dise, they have only to go over and ask Adam.
U they want to know how the sun and moon
halted, they have only to go over and ask
Joshua. If they want to know how tbe storm
pelted Sodom, they have only to go over and
ask Lot. If they want to know more about
the arrogance of Hainan, they have only to go
over and ask Mordecai. -If they want to know
how the Red Sea boiled when it was cloven,
they have only to go over and ask Moses. If
they want to know the particulars about the
Bethlehem advent, they have only to go over
and ask the serenading angels who stood that
Christmas night in the balconies of crystal. If
they want to know more of the particulars of
the crucifixion, they have only to go over and
ask those who were personal spectators while
the mountains crouched and the Heavens got
black in tbe face at tbe spectacle. H they
want to know more about the sufferings of the
Scotch convenanters, they have only to go over
and ask Andrew Melville. If they want to
know more about the old time revivals, they
have only to go over and ask Whitefield, and
Wesley, and Livingston, and Fletcher, and
Nettleton, and Finney. 0! what a place to
visit in.
H eternity were one minute shorter it would
not be long enough for such sociality. Think
of our friends who in this world were passion
ately fond of flowers turned into paradise!
Think of our friends who were fond of raising
superb fruit turned into the orchard where
each tree has twelve kinds of fruit at once, and
bearing the fruit all the year round!
What are our departed Christian friends do
ing in heaven, those who on earth found their
chief joy in the gospel ministry? They are
visiting their old congregations.
Most of those ministers have got their people
around them already. When I get to heaven
—as by the grace of God I am destined to go to
that place—I will come and see you all. Yea,
I will come to all the people to whom I have
administered in the gospel, and to the million
of souls to whom through the kindness of the
printing press, I am permitted to preach every
week in this land and in other lands—letters
coming from New Zealand and Australia and
uttermost parts of the earth, as well as near
nations, telling me of the souls I have helped—
I will visit them all. I will give them fair no
tice. Our departed friends of the ministry en
gaged in that delectable entertainment now.
But what are our departed Christian friends
who in all departments of usefulness were
busy finding their chief joy in doing good—
what are they doing now? Going right on
with the work. John Howard visiting dun
geons; the dead women of Northern and South
ern battle fields still abroad looking for the
wounded; George Peabody still watching the
poor; Thomas Clarkson still looking after the
enslaved—all of those who did good on earth
busier since death than before.
The tombstone not the terminus but the
starting post. What are our departed Chris
tian friends who found their chief joy in study
ing God doing now? Studying God yet. No
need of revelation now, for unblanched they
are face to face. Now, they can handle the
omnipotent thunder-bolts just as a child han
kies the sword of a father come back from vic
torious battle. They have no sin, nor fear con
sequently. Studying Christ, not through a
revelation, save the revelation of the scars,
that deep lettering which brings it all up quick
enough. Studying the Christ of the Bethlehem
caravansary, the Christ of the awful massacre
with its hemorrhage of head and hand and foot
and side—the Christ of the shattered mausole
um—Christ the sacrifice, the star, the sun, the
man, the God, the God-man, the man-God.
But hark! the bell of the cathedral rings—
the cathedral bell of Heaven.
What is the matter now? There is going to
be a great meeting in the temple. Worship
pers all coming through the aisles. Make room
for the conqueror. Christ standing in the tem
ple. All Heaven gathering around Him. Those
who loved the beautiful come to look at the
Rose of Sharon. Those who loved music come
to listen to His voice. Those who were math
ematicians come to count tbe years of His
reign. Those who were explorers come to dis
cover the height and depth, and the length and
the breadth of His love. Those who had the
military spirit on earth sanctified, and the mil
itary spirit in Heaven, come to look at the cap
tain of their salvation. Tbe astronomers come
to look at the morning star. The men of the
law come to look at Him who is the judge of
quick and dead. The men who healed the
sick come to look at Him who was wounded
for our transgressions.
All different and different forever in many
respects, yet all alike in admiration for Christ,
in worship for Christ, and all alike in joining
in the doxology: “Unto Him who washed ns
from our sins in His own blood, and made us
kings and priests unto God, to Him be glory in
the church throughout all ages, world without
end!” Amen.
