Moisten the Old Hey.
If old hay be cu*. and moistened before being
fed to horses there will be fewer animals suf
fering from heaves. Feedinz dusty materials
is usually the cause of the difficulty.
Russian Wheat In British Columbia
Russian wheat planted in the North western
British provinces shows that it matures before
the frost and will bo of great value to that re
gion.
North Carolina Corn.
The Greensboro, N. C. Workman says that
Mr. A. M. Smith, of Pomona, exhibits a stalk
of corn, 10 feet high, grown by himself on
i yam) land: underdrained with tile. The corn
was planted Jane 10th, and grew without the
help of any fertilizer Tall corn, that.
Plant Some Crab Apples.
A few crab-apple trees ought to find a place
on every farm. They are hardy, will grow
almost anywhere; they will bear abundantly
in two or three years, and, as a rule, will bear
every year; they are tine for cider, aud several
varieties are excellent for dessert. I hey are
valuable for caunii. gor preserving.
Honey Crop Short.
Honey will be high this year. The three
leading honey-producing States, Illinois, Wis
consin and Michigan, have absolutely^no honey
at all, and in many parts of these Stales the
bees are fed on sugar to keep them from starv
ing. Last year California aenl honey to the
E«st by the carload; this year they have
scarcely enough for home consumption.
Keeping Cood Stock.
More farmers fail from attempting too much
in stock, without sufficient experience, than
from any other one c tiise. They maintain al
together mo many animals of poor to medium
quality. It is better to have only one good
cow than to have two or three medium ones.
The one animal will leave the farmer a chance
to devote his time and land to some more prof
itable purpose, while the man oversto :ked with
poor animals finds that they absorb aud eat
everything he grows.
Cood Farming.
The Clarion. published at Camilla, Mitchell
c muty, Georgia, gives the following as the
product of a small f irm in that county: Mr.
G. E. Cochran, at F int, makes SioOO from
melons and cotton on a three mule farm—
twe lty hales of cotton off twenty-four acres.
In addition these muli s have made *>00 bushels
of corn, ten or twelve barrels of syiup and
worked tlve acres In potatoes, and mwc pea*
and groundpeas in abundance. This is an off
year for cotton. There is not a farm in the
county that can’t do the same tiling. Many
are doing just about as well.
Flowers for Perfumes.
Some idea of the magnitude of the business
of raising sweet-scented flowers for their per
fume alone, may be gathered from the fact
that Europe and British India consume about
150,000 gallons of handkerchief perfume yearly;
that the English revenue from cau de cologne
is $40 000 annually, and that the total revenue
of other perfumes is estimated at .$000 000 an
nually. There is one gre it perfume distillery
at Cannes in Franco which uses yearly 10J,000
p muds of acacia fl iwers, 110 000 pounds of
rare d >wer leaves, 112,000 poinds of jasmine
blossoms, 20.000 of tuberose blossoms, and an
immense quantity of other material — Xcw

Thir.-Shelled Eggs.
Some kinds of poultry have been bred to pro
duce nearly the possible limit of eggs, and the
failure oi the hen to provide the requisite ma
terial for her daily product is more likely than
not to be shown iu its shell. The wonder is
how and wh“re. so much lime can be accumu
lated and passed through the system daily
With free range fows pick up an enormous
amount and great variety of food. Thin shells
are not often found where fowls are allowed to
run at will. But if they are obliged to live on
wtiat is fed them the latter has rarely enough
lime in its composition. Ground bones are
the best form for giving lime to fowls, as in
them much nutrition in their gelatine is mixed
with the niii.eral. But they will eat more of
c unman lime iu a day than any one would
suppose while laying freely. If allowed to lay
thin sbel e 1 eggs hens soon get ill the habit of
eating them, aud this makes the fowls worth
less.
A farmer with thirty-four years’ experience
says more work can be got out of men on the
ten-hour plan than on the sunrise to sunset
plan.
The young fanner who is in debt for his
farm, but who is steadily getting ahead, is
wise if he insures his life for an amount large
enough to pay hiscebls if he should die. He
owes that much to his wife and children.
Saving Straw for Feetf.
Straw has considerable nutritive value
rightly used, though to try to winter any stock
on it alone is such an abuse of it as to make
the possession of a straw slack an absolu'e in
jury to any one who attempts it. At present
prices of grain and oil-meal one or both may
te fed in connection with straw, the latter giv
ing bulk and all tliu nutriment of which it is
capable. If fed alone, stock will not eat straw
readily, and their digestion will be so poor that
they cannot get full benefit of what they do eat.
Old Farm Wagons.
A good, strong and always reliable wagon
is a necessity to every farmer. Tbs loss by
breakages and cost of repairs or setting tires
aud thei like on many old wagons kept in use
from mistaken ideas of economy will pay heavy
iatereot on a new one. Unless this is kept
under shelter, however when not in use, it will
soon become dilapidated. A coat of paint
once a year will not only make it look new,
but will keep it linn and solid for many years.
A shrewd wagon'maker used often to remark
that it was not for his interest to have neigh
boring farmers buy his -ar. a. Those sold
several miles distant he did not regret; but he
kept a repair shop a« well, and he could make
more from near-by fanners’ repairing their old
wagons than from si lling them new ones
The Southern Forestry Congress.
Governor Gordon has received an invitation
from the I’ret-ident of the Southern Forestry
Congress to attend the third annual congress
of that body at Huntsville, Ala., Oct. ‘2(1. It is
not known what disposition the Governor will
make of the invitation, the time of meeting
being too far removed at present to permit him
to tell whether his pubiic duties will allow him
to attend. The Governor is unders’o id to be
in full sympathy with the work of the congress,
and will no doubt be present if he can find tl e
time and cau do so without neglecting public
duties
This is tho organization that the Georgia
Senate passed a resolution a few days ago
inviting it to hold its meeting in Atlanta next
year. We hope it will.
Care of Trees Before Planting.
Thousands of trees, says W. 1). Boynton in
/’radicalFarmer, are lost by injudicious treat
ment or lack of care between the times of re-
c iving and planting. Trees packed for ship
ment by experienced and honest nurserymen
are usually so put up that they will keep in
good condition for a considerably longer lime
than is demanded by prompt transportation.
Where the combined purchases of a whole
neighborhood come in a single shipment it is
not an uncommon occurrerx3 for the large box
or boxes to lie at the depot for several days
awaiting the arrival of the delivering agent.
Tnis is no help to the trees to bo sure, and
when they lie on the sunny side of a platform
two or three weeks, as is sometimes the case,
• serious loss occurs.
The man who purchases trees should insist
upon having his lot packed separately, that he
may not be obliged to wait the motions of oth
ers. Whether he buys from a traveling agent
or directly from the nurseryman, he should
insist upon this method of shipment. If he
sends in his own order to the nurseryman di
rect, he would of course receive his trees sep
arately, which adds another to the strong rea
sons for purchasing direct from the grower.
And if the shipment is a small one it can be
sent by express at slightly increased cost to
the purchaser. This is another great advan
tage, for express ship nents come through al
most as quickly as the mails, so that trees are
not liable to damage in transit.
Now if the trees come in a little early (and
that ia vastly preferable to having them come
a little late) take the bundle if large trees,
apart, dip tho roots in thick mud and bury
root and half the lop or such a matter in the
earth until ready to plant. If the ground is
frozen store the trees in a cellar aud cover the
mud led roots with dirt and sand. If the trees
are small, say under fifteen inches, especially
of forest trees, the litde bundles need not be
taken apart at a'l, but after being dipped in
mud may be half buried same as large trees.
When the weather is cool and, consequently
no danger of healing exists, the box or packa;e
may be stored in acold cellar for a few days
without disturbing theerigiual packing. As a
rule, however, it is best to give the first men
tioned treatment.
Evergreens and deciduous forest trees may be
planted much earner than most people itna

Specimen Ceraniums.
The uses to which the Geranium family may
be put in a decorative way are, I think, not
ou .-numbered by the ways in which the Date
or flocoanut Palm Is made to serve the Arab
or South Sea Islander Their habits of dwarf,
medium or strong growlli; their green, zonal,
golden, silver, bronze and tricolor foliage, to
gether with the climbing habit of the Ivy aud
hybrid Ivy kinds, leave little that can be rea
sonably expected of one genus of plants; while
the coloring of their II iwers, from almost pur
ple to pale pink, and from scarlet to white,
with all possible shades between these ex
tremes, with sa'inon and almost orange be
sides, gives a chromatic range attempted by
only a few of Flora’s kingdom.
Tuc readiness with which, by prunirig and
training, the plants may be grown in different
forma is of great advantage as adding much to
their usefulness for decorative purposes
To commence with, it would be a good time
to strike cuttings now, or early in October,
in the open ground, making the ear.h a little
sandy, if not naturally so, aud shading from the
hottest mid-lay sunshine When well rooted,
pot in two-and-a-half inch pots, and if possi
ble, place in a cold-frame, water well, and
plunge in saw-dust, or sp nit tan bark, or hops,
or manure, none of which ebon d be at all
fresh so as to generate heat, but simply to
hold a moist atmosphere about tie plints.
Manure, if partially dec imposed, or wholly so
if possible, I have proved to be the best piling-
ing material, as wi'.boat doubt the slight ex
halations from it are of great benefit to the
foliage, besides ac ing gently ami continuously
through the porous sid s of the pois, if clean,
as they should he. The window gardener,
who only grows three or four or half-a dozen
Geraniums, with no use for a cold-frame, will
find that a trench dug out and filled with the
plunging material, or a soap box filled with it,
will answer almost or quite as well, as either
of these can be kept shaded from the hottest
of the sunshine during the middle hours of the
day until the plants have taken root-hold. In
two or three weeks the plants will require a
shif. into three-and-a-half or four-inch pols,
using soil composed of either good garden
earth made light, if nrcessary, by an admixt
ure of sand; or, if obtainable, decayed sods.
To either of these add decayed hops or rotten
leaves, and about a-fifth or sixth part of old
manure, either cow or horse manure. Gera
niums are not so particular as Koses, and will
do well with the lat er if the former is not
procurable. This compost will do for them
for all succeeding shiftings It is quite likely
that usually a final shift for the season into
five-inch p its will be sufficient to keep the
plants in proper condition through the winter

a green-house or conservatory.—Vick's Maga

Curious fact#.
A farmer who bas known of twenty-eight for

nine were oaks, seven poplars, four maples,
three willows, and the others were a chestnut,
horae-chestnut, walnut, hawthorn and elm.
It is a curious fact that the name of Daniel

TALMAtE’S SERMON
Brooklyn, Sep 18.—After being closed for

The subject of tb sermon was “ The Prime

How often you sc men turn out all their forces

that tried to cruai Joseph, a scripture character
upon which we peak to-day. It would be an
insult to suppoaKbat you were not all familiar
with the life of Jseph—how his jealous broth
ers threw him in» tha pit, but, seeing a cara
van of Arabian lerchants moving along on
their camels withspices and gums that loaded
the air with arom, sold their brother to these
merchants, who orried him down into E»ypt;
how Joseph was sid to Potiphar, a man of in
fluence and office how, by his integrity, he
raised himself tc high position ia the realm,
until, under the flse charge of a vile wretch,
he was hurled ino the penitentiary; how in
prison he coin mated respect and confidence;
how, by the interyetation of Pharaoh’s dream,
he was freed and ecarne the chief man in gov*
ernment, the Bitrarck of the nation; how, in
time of famine, oseph had the control of a
storehouse which ehad filled during the seven
years of plenty; h*w, when bis brothers who
had thrown him ino the pit and sold him into
captivity applied Ir corn, he sent them home
with their beasts brne down under the heft of
the corn sacks; lio' the sin against their bro
ther, which had so jng been hidden, came out
at last aud was rskrued by that brother’s for
giveness and kindnss, an illustrious triumph
of Christian prineije.
Learn from this tory, in the first place, that
the world is coinpeed to honor Christian char
acter. Potiphar »s only a man of the world,
yet Joseph rose irhis estimation until all the
affairs of that gret house were committed to
his charge. From this servant no honors or
confidences were villiheld. When Joseph was
in prison he soon ton the heart of the kseper,
and, though placecthere for being a scoundrel,
he soon convinced he jailor that he was an in
nocent and trustvorthy man; aud, released
from close confmeient, he became a general
superintendent ol prison affairs. Wherever
Joseph was placed whether a servant iu the
house of potiphar r a prisoner in the peniten
tiary, he became tfc first man everywhere, and
is an illustration ofthe truth I lay down—that
the world is coinpeed to honor Christian char
acter.

Twenty Acres’ Productions.
Americus (Ga.,) Recorder.
O.i the edge of the city lives a gentleman
who has a little farm of twenty acres. He is
an ardent agriculturalist and has had much
practical experience iu farming. His business
iu the city takes up so large a portion of his
time that he bas only a little lime, morning
and evening, to devote to his little farm, but
that little time is his delight.
In conversing with him a few days ago,
about the proposed county exhibit at the At
lanta Exposition and State Fair we remarked
that Sumter certainly ought to make a gram)
display with so great a variety of products.
“That is so,’’ said he. “I believe I could
furnish twenty varieties of produces off of my
little place alone.”
“Well, suppose you enumerate what you
have grown ai d are growing, and we will make
a list of them and see how they foot up.”
“All right. We will take field crops first.
I have got
Two varieties of cotton.
White corn, Golden Dent corn, Sweet corn,
Fop corn and Kaffir corn. I had corn meal
from new corn on the 4th of July, asd on the
same day planted corn which will mature be
fore frost.
Speckled peas, Clay Peas, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, spring oats, fall oats, barley,
rye, wheat, green sugar cane, early amber
sorghum cane, Kershaw squashes, Spanish
groundpeas, German mil’et, Pearl millet, ses-
sainum, crab grass bay. Crow'out grass, Ber
muda grass, red clover.
Then in fruits I have
Peaches from the 1st ol May to the 1st of
November.
Apples, pears, quinces, plums
Grapes, 20 varieties, ripening from J u le to
frost.
Figs, blackberries, strawberries, pomegran

In vegetables I have an almost endless vari
ety—all that can be grown in the temperate
and st mi-tropical z mes.”
IKre we have twenty-seven varieties of field
crops, eleven kinds of fruits, and vegetables
almost without number, on twenty acres of
ground What a variety, then, can the wild)
county exhibit. There is probably not a ate
tion on the globe that cau show so great a va
riety of products as Southwest Georgia, and
Sumter is one of the wealthiest aud most pro
ductive counties in the section. All we have
to do is to c iliect our products, arrange them

Christian religion that shall not crumble while
the world lasts. A man in the cars said: “I
would like to become a Christian if I only
knew what religion is. But if this lying and
cheating and bad behavior among men who
profess to be good is religion, I want none of
it.” But, my friends, if I am an artist in Rome
and a man conies to me and asks wbat the art
of painting is, I must not show him the daub
of some mere pretender. I will take him to
tbe Raphaels and the Michael Angelos. It is
most unfair and dishonest to take the igno
minious failures in Christian profession instead
of the glorious successes. Tbe Bible and the
church are great picture galleries filled with
master-pieces.
Furthermore, we learn from this story of
Joseph that tbe result of persecution is allevi
ation. Had it not been for his being sold into
Egy tian bondage by his malicious brothers and
his false imprisonment Joseph would never
have become prime minister. Everybody ac
cepts the promise: “Blessed are they that are
persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs
is the kindom of heaven,” but the; do not re
alize the fact tbat this principle applies to
worldly as well as sp ritual success. It is true
in all departments. Had it not been for JEs-
cbiues who brought impeachment against De
mosthenes, the immortal oration De Corona
would never have been delivered. Men rise to
high political position through misrepresenta
tion and the assault of the public. * Public
abuse is all tbat sxme of our public men have
had to rely upon for their elevation. It has
brought to them wbat talent and executive
force could never have achieved. Many of
these who are makiug great effort for place
and power will never succeed just because they
are n it of enough importance to be abused.
It is the na'ure of man to gather about those
who are persecuted and defend them, and they
are apt to forget the faults of these who are
the subj-cts of attack while attempting to drive
back the slanJerers. Helen Stirk, a Scotch
martyr, condemned with her husband to death
fnrnhn.iiflflfltH said to her husband: “Re-
rapidly. No good man was ever more vilely
maltreated than John Wesley. His followers
were booted at and maligned and called by
every detestable name that infernal ingenuity
could invent, but tbe hotter the persecution
the more rapid the spread of that denomina
tion, until you know what a great host they
have become and what a tremendous force for
God and the truth they are wielding all the
world ov;r. It was the persecution that gave
Scotland to Presbyterianism.. It was perse
cution which gave our own land first to c ! vil
liberty and afterward to religious freedom.
Yea, I might go further back and say it was
persecution that gave the world tbe great sal
vation of tbe gospel. The ribald mockery, the
buogeriug and thirsting, the uujust trial and
ignominious death where all the force of hell’s
la.y was hurled against the cross, was the in
troduction of that religion which is yet to be
the earth’s deliverance from guilt and suffer
ing SLd her everlasting enthronement among
the principalities of heaven. The 6taie has 1
sometimes said to tho church: “Come, let me
take your hand and I will help you.” What
has been the result? lhj church has gone
back and has loat its estate of holiness aud has
become ineffective. At other times the slate
has said to the church: “I will crush you.”
What has been the result? After the storms
have speut their fury, the church, so far from
having lost any of its force, has increased, and
is worth infinitely more after the assault than
before it. The church is far more indebted to
the opposition of civil government than to its
approval. The fires of the state have only
been tne torches which Christ held iu his hand
by the light of which the church has marched
to her present position. In the sound of racks
and implements of torture 1 bear the rumbling
ofthe wheels of the gospel chariot. Scaffolds
of martyrdom have been the stairs by which
the church has ascended. Aqua fortis is the
best test ol pure g ild.
Furthermore, our subject impresst s us that
sin will come to exposure. Long, long ago
had these brothers sold Joseph into Egypt.
They bad suppressed the crime and it was a
profound secret well kept by the brothers.
But suddenly the secret is out. The old father
hears that his son is in Egypt, having been
sold there by the malice of his own brothers.
Ilow their cheeks must have burned and their
hearts sunk at the flaming out of this sup
pressed crime. The smallest iniquity has a
thousand tongues aud they will blab out an
exposure. Saul was sent to destroy the Cana-
auites, their sheep and their oxen. But when
he got down there among toe pastures he saw
some fine sheep and oxen too fat to kill, aud so
he thought be would steal them. He drove
them towards home, but stopped to report to
the prophet bow well he had executed his com-
missiou, when in the distance the sheep began
to bleat and the oxen to bellow. The
secret was out, and Samuel said to the
blushing and confounded Saul: “ What means
the bleating of tbe sheep that I bear and tbe
lowing of the cattle?” Aye, my bearers, you
cannot keep an iniquity quiet. At just tbe
wrong time the sbeep will bleat and tbe oxen
will bellow. Achan cannot steal the Babylon
ish garment without getting stoned to death,
nor Benedict Arnold betray his country with
out haviug bis neck stretched. Look over the
police arrests, these thieves, these burglars,
these adulterers, these counterfeiters, these
highwaymen, these assassins. They all thought
they could bury tneir iniquity so deep down
that it would never come to resurrection. But
there was some shoe that auswered to the
print in the aand, some faise keys found iu
possession, some bloody knife that whispered
of tue deed, and the public indignation, and
the anathema of outraged law burled him into
the tombs or hoisted him on the gallows. A’,
the close of the battle between the Dauphin of
France and the Helvetians, Burchard Monk
was so elated with the victory that he lifted
his helmet to look off upon the field, when a
wounded soldier buried a stone that struck his
uncovered forehead and he fell. Sin will al
ways leave some point exposed, and there is
no safety in iniquity. Francis the First, king
of France, was discussing how it was best to
get his army into Italy. Arnaril, the court
tool, sprang out from the corner and said to
the king and his staff officers: “You had bet
ter be tninkiug how you will get your army
back out of Italy afteronce you have entered.”
In other words, it is easier for us to get into
sin than to get out of it Wbitefield was rid
ing on horseoack in a lonely way with some
missionary money iu a sack fastened to the
Baddle-bags. A highwayman sprang out from
the thicket aud put his hand out toward tho
gold, when Whitfield turned upon him and
said: “ That belongs to the L >ril Jesus Christ,
touch it if you dare," and the villian fell back
empty handed into the thicket. <), the power
of conscience! If offended, it becomes G id’s
avenging minister. Do not think that you can
hide apy great aud protracted sin in your
b<art=. In an unguarded moment it wjl slip
off of the lip, or some slight occasion may for
a moment set ajar this door of hell that you
wanted to keep closed. But suppose that in
this life you hide it, and you get-along with
that transgression burning in your heart as a
ship on lire within, tor days you may hinder the
flame from burstiug out by keeping down the
hatchways, yet, at last, in the judgment, that
iniquity will blaze out before the throne of
God and tbe universe.

AUGUSTA, GA.
for Cbrin’s sake, said to her husband: “Re
joice; we have lived together many joyful
daye, but this day wherein we must die to
gether ought to he most joyful to us b-.til.
Therefore, I will not bid you good night, for
soon we shall meet in the heavenly kingdom.”
By the tljsh ol the furnace best Cnristian char
acter is demoLS rated. ......
I go into another department, and 1 find tbat
those great deuionstra.ious of Christians which
have been most abused have spread the most
Furthermore, learn from this subject the in
separable connection between all events, how
ever remote. Lord Hustings was beheaded
one year after he had caused the death of the
queen’s c aildren, in the very month, the very
Uay, the very hour and the very moment.
There is wonderful precision iu the divine
judgments. The universe is only one thought
of God. Those things which seem fragmenta
ry and isolated are only different parts of that
one great thought. How far apart seemed
these two events—Joseph sold to the Arabiai.
merchants and the rulership of Egypt. Yet
you see in what a mysterious way God con
nected the two in one plan. So all events are
linked together. You who are aged can look
back and group together a thousand things in
your life tbat once seemed isolated. One un
divided chain of events reached from the Gar
den of Eden to the cross of Calvary, and thus
up to heaven. There is a relation between the
smallest insect that hums iu the summer air
aud the archangel on bis throne. God can
trace a direct ancestral line from tbe blue jay
that last spring built its nest in a tree behind
the hou.e to some one of that flock of birds
which when Noah hoisted the ark's window,
with a whirl and dash of bright wings went
out to sing over Mount Ararat. The tulips
that bloomed this summer in the flower bed
were nursed of last winter's snow flakes. Tbe
furtherest star on one side the universe could
not look to the furtherest star on the other
side and say: “You are no relation to me;’
for from that bright orb a voice of light would
riDg across the heavens responding’ “Yes,
yes; we are sisters ” Sir Sidney Smith in
prison was playing lawn tennis iu the yard
aud the ball flew over the wall. Another ball
containing letters was thrown back, and so
communication was opened with tbe outside
world, and Sidney Smith escaped in time to
defeat Bonaparte’s Egyptian expedition
What a small accident connected with what
vast result! Sir Robert I’eel from a pattern
he drew on the back of a pewter dinner plate
got suggestions of that which led to the impor
tant invention by which calico is printed.
Nothing in God’s universe swings at loose
ends. Accidents are only God’s way of turn
ing a leaf iu the book of his eternal decrees.
From our cradle to our grave there is a path
all marked out Each event in our life is con
nected with every other eveut in our life. Oar
loss may be the most direct road to our gain.
Our defeats and victories are twin brothers.
The whole direction of your life was changed
by somethi 'g which at the time seemed but a
trifle, while some occurrence which seemed
tremendous affected you but little. The Rev.
Dr. Kennedy, of Basking Ridge, N. J., went
into his pulpit oue Sabbath, and by some
strange freak of memory forgot tbe subject of
his text, and in great embarrassment ruse be
fore his audience and announced tbe sircum-
Stancea and declared himseif entirely unab e
to preach; then launched forth in a few earnest
words of entreaty and warning which resulted
iu the outbreaking of tbe mightiest revival of re
ligion ever known in that state,arevival of relig
ion tbat resulted in churches still standing and
in the conversion of a large number o men who
entered the gospel ministry who have brought
their thousands into tbe kingdom of Goo.
God’s plans are magnificent beyond all com
prehension. He moulds us, turns us and d -
reels us, and we know it not. Thousands of
years are to him but as the flight of a shuttle.
The most teirific occurrence does not make
God tremble, and the most triumphant achieve
ment does not lift Him into rapture. Tbatone
great thought of God goes on through the cen
turies, and nations rise and fall, and eras pass,
aud the world itself changes, but G d still
keeps the undivided mastery, liuking event to
event and century to century. To God they
are all one eveut, one history, one plan, one
development, one system. Great, and marvel
ous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty.
Furthermore, wa loirn from this story the
propriety of laying up for the future. During
seven years ot plenty Joseph prepared for the
famine, aul when it mine he had a crowdtd
storehouse. The life of most men, iu a worldly
respect, is divided into years of pleuty and
famine. It is seldom that any man passes
through life without at least seven years of
plenty. During these seven prosperous years
your business bears a rich harvest. You hardly
kuow where all the money comes from, it
comes so fas . Every bargain you make seems
to turn into gold. You coutract lew bad debts.
You are astosudtd with large dividends. You
invest more and more capital. You wouder
how men cau be content with a small business,
gathering in only a hundred dollars where you
reap your thousands. These are the seven
years of plenty. Now, Joseph, is the time to
prepare for famine, for to almost every man
there do come seven years of famine. You
will be Bick; you wi.l be unfortuuate; you will
be defrauded; you will be disappointed; you
will te old; aud il you have no sto.e-house up
on which to fall back you may be famine struck.
We have no admiration for this denying one’s
self of all present comfort and luxury for the
mere pleasure of loaning up—this grasping
fur the mere pleasure ot seeing how large a pile
you can get—this always being poor and
crauipt d because as soon as a dollar comes in
it is sent out to see if it can’t find auolhtr dol
lar to carry home on its back; hut there is au
intelligent and noble-minded forecast which we
love to see in men who have families aud kin
dred dependent upon them for me blessings of
education and home. God sends us to the in
sects for a lesson, which, wnile they do not
stint themselves in the present, do not forget
their duty to forestall the future. “Go to the
ant, thou sluggard—consider her ways and be
wise; which, having no guide, overseer or
ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and
gathereth her food in the harvest ’’ Now there
are two ways of laying up money—the one by
investing it in stock and depositing it in banks
and loaning it on bond and mortgage. The
other way of laying up money is giving it away.
He is the safest who makes both oi these in
vestments. But tbe mail who dtvotes none of
his gain to the cause of Uhri.-i and thinks only
of his own comfort and luxm is not safe. I
don’t care how his money >- invested. He
acted as the rose of it sb" > >i say: “I will
hold my breath, and no uo shall have a
snatch of fragrance from me until next
week, and then I will sit all the gar
den afloat with the aroma.” The time
comes, but, having been without fragrance
so long, it has nothing then to give. But
above all, lay up treasures in Heaven. They
never depreciate in value. They never are at
a discount. They are always available. You
may feel safe now with your jiresent income,
but what will such an income be worth after
you are dead? Others will get it. l’erbaps
some of them will quarrel about it before you
are buried. They will be right glad that you
are dead. They are only waiting for you to
die. What, then, will all your accumu'ation
be worth if you could gather it all m your
bosom and walk up with it to Heaven’s gate?
It would not purchase your admission; or, if
allowed to enter, it could not buy you a crown
or a robe, and- the poorest saint in Heaven
would look down and say: “Where did that
pauper come from?”
Finally, learn from this subject that in every
famine there is a storehouse. Up the long row
of buildings piled to the very roof with corn
come the hungry multitudes, and Joseph com
manded that their saeks and their wagons be
filled. The world has been blasted. Every
green thing has been withered under the touch
of sin. From all continents and islands aud
zones comes up the groan of dying millions.
Over tropical spice-grove and Siberian ice-hut
and Hindoo jungle the blight has fallen. The
famine is universal. Bu*., glory to God! there
is a great storehouse. Jesus Christ, our elder
brother, this day bids us come in from our
hunger and beggary and obtain infinite sup.
plies of grace enough to make us rich forever.
Many of you hare for a long while been smit
ten of the famine. The world has not still d
the throbbing of yotmspirit. Your conscience
sometimes rouses you up wi'h such sudden
ness and strength that it requires tbe most gi
gantic determination to quell the disturbance.
Your courage quakes at the thought of the fu
ture. Oh, why will you tarry amid the blasts
ings of the famine when such a glorious store
house is open to God’s mercy?
’’Y- wretched, hungry, starving poor.
