How Rains Chill the Soil.
More heavy rains have fallen in New Eng
land the latter pari of this Summer than is
usuall r the case. The eff< ct has been to make
the soil colder than common, and the corn crop
has ripened more slowly thtn it otherwise
would. While the air seems warm in the tun,
the hours of sunlight are rap dly d*. creasing.
At night ths plan's are brought nearly or quite
to the temperature of the soil, and the heavy
dew deposited ou them is aim ist as chilly as a
rain.
A Cardan Barometer.
From La Mature.
One of the simplest barometers is a spider’s
web. Wh-m t here is a prospect of rain or
wind, the spider shortens the filaments from
which ith web is s tspenoed and leaves things
in this state as lo >g as the weather is vuriab e.
I' the insect elongates its thread, it is a sign
of flue, calm wea'her, the duration of which
may be judged of by the Ifngih to which the
threads ara let out. If the spider remains in-
ac ive, it is a sign of ram; but if, oa the con
trary, it keeps at work during a rain, thelaltor
will not las long, and will be followed by tine
weather. O.her ob nervations have taught that
the sp der makes chang-is in its web every
twenty four ho trs. and that if such changes
arem.de in the evening, just before sunset,
the uight will bo clear and beautiful.
Virginia and Carolina Apples-Who can
Vouch for tnis?
An apple tree on the farm of Capt. T. J.
Williamson, Pleasants cm .ty, W. Va., which
has borne fiuil for a number of years, has nev
er been known to blossom. Thi3 jear the tree
is again full of fine iarge apples, the strangest
thing about which is that the fruit has neither
core nor seed.
The Statesville (X. C) Mail says : We saw
while io Wilkes au apple grown on the Brushy
Mountains which weighed 27 ounces. Tne
gentleman who rais -d it expects to make a
fortune when he can ship direct to the North.
Tii 0 Greensboro (V C ) Wo'kman says that
“the ft test app'.es—as tine as.we ever saw any
where— a _ e on sale here now, aud come from
1) ilton, station on 'he Caoe Fear and Yadkin
Valley ra iroad. We remember finding the
same apple in Washington, I), C , ih s time
la-.t year, and pronounced it then the best ap
ple we had ever seen.
Takir.s Up Plants for Winter.
Those who have enjoyed a profusion of flow
ers through the spring, summer aud early au
tumn, wul be sure to h ave made some provis
ion for the late autumn and wimer. The
wsist course is to have been preparing, lirtle
by little; then, with little extra thought, plants
are alt ready to be brought indoors without a
suspicion of a chill lo their sensitive natures.
But, lor those who are not thus prepared,
much can yet be done to insure a few fl jwere
for the winter and car'y spring. Various
methods are tried by d ff-rent people, with re
suits as unlike as the methods. S >mo people,
who fancy themse’.Tes very fond of p ants aud
fl iwers, manage in this way: We wili suppose
they hare had a poorly kept flower garden for
the summer, which, 1 u spite of much neglrci,
has afforded them qui e a little pleasure, which
they are unwilling io lose. With the first in
dications of a frost, towels, aprons, newspa
pers or any handy ar.icles are spread over the
Dest and most valuable part of the flower gar
den, which, if the wind should como up in the
night, will be scattered all about their neigh
bors’ gardens as well as their own; b it just as
well, ns wind and frost do not often go ‘‘hand
In hand,’’ aud the fl avers escape this time
The next cold nignt—say between sundown
and diik—hey will begin the work of taking
up and potting the largest geraniums, helio
tropes and pe unias, using large pots, but little
water and less c mimon sense. After thia
careful treatm n' they will be put o:i a wh-el-
barrow and trundled into a shed or under a
sheltering tree, and I hero left to the me r cy of
sun, wind or rain, perfectly un-bought of unlii
there is danger of a real freezing Light, snd
then they are hustled into the house, and lrft
tu Ihs coldest aud dreariest corn r of a long,
dreary dining-room, there to remain in solitude
and shame until winter fairly sets in. By this
time they are in such hopeless wretchedness
that they are carried d awn cellar to wait—
well, nobody know* what. This method is a
comnou on\ nnd I s aesults are sure.—[£*-

The Hop Crop.
Careful observers in Cen'ral New York
think the market for choice 1887 State hops
will start at about twenty cents per pound. If
th*re should bo a lively foreign demand, not at
sll probable now, it may go higher; otherwise
there is little encouragement for an increase.
Fowls In Plum Orchards.
The plum loves rich, moist soil. It is to
their a Sect in fertilizing the soil about the
trees, rather than to any destruction of the
curculio, that fowls are placed in plum or
chards. But though hens do not eat the cur-
cuilo, their presei ce around and under the
trees make this shy insect more cautious about
depositing her eggs. Paving the soil ui der
plum trees answers the same purpose. Many
plum trees in cities have pavtmenls cIobg to
their roots, and these are pretty sure to bear
large crops every year.
Flowers in Winter.
Those who wish to preserve their plants,
either by taking them up for flowering in the
wii dow or for the greet house, will now have
to be on the watch lest a killing frost comes
a ong before they are ready. Jf our lady
friends have kept their plants intended for
winter fl iwering in pots, as has been recom
mended, they will now have to be taken from
the rather small pots, where they are making
somewhat slow growth, at d new vigor infused
into them by transferring to larger pots.
PDi ts which have occupied a four inch pot
only duting summer, should not have made
very much growth, aud hence be short and
stocky. Such, if shifted into a five or six-inch
pot, will be ready to do good duty during win
ter. This has reierence to geraniums, callaa,
heliotropes, winterfljweri.nl fuchsias, abuii-
ions and similar plants. With a supplv of
these on hand, the old stock may, with safely,
be allowed to perish.
The $10,000 Pr-ze for Jute.
It is well known that, fjr some years past, a
prize of S10 000 has been < flared to inventors
for the first ten bales of jute grown and pre
pared lor market in the Unitrd Sta'ea, at a
c ist which wnl admit of sucessful competi
tion with that from India. Tne principal ana
apparently insurmountable obstacle which con
fronts all i{Tor's in this direction is the lack of
a machine waich will prepare the jute fiber
for use at a cost low enough to rffaet the very
cheap hand labor of Iudia. In the jute plant
the tiaer lies between the piih and ihe bark.
It is necessary, therefore, to remove the latter
and separate tho jute ir un the pith, it being
also essential ihat this be done without irjur-
ing ibe fiber, which is one of the most delica'e
known. Hut as the natives of India do this
work for seven to ten cents a day, a substitute
machine would not only have to overcome this
matter of cheapness but would have io per
form the task in as perfect a manner as is now
done by Indian fingers, as well as equal in
other stagei to the work of preparation re
quired before the fibt is ready to enter the
tactory.—Boston Budget.
Charles M. Hovey.
The departure of the venerable snd univer
sally known horticulturist and potnoWgisi from
the ear.blv scenes that were so dear to him, is
the loss of a true friend to the hearts of tens of
thousands who have followed his teachings
and been inspired bv his example for a long
term of years. MrHavey was seventy-seven
years of age when ho died. His governing
taste fur bor icuiture b» gau to d splay and
develop itself in his boyhood, and by the time
he had reached matnre manhood he was recog
nized bb one of the m ost eminent hortic lltur-
ii-is of bis time in I country. He established
his first nurserv in Cambridgeport, and rernov-
it to E ist Cambridge in 1840, taking up a forty-
acre tract of wild woodland, which was steadily
subdued by systematic culture, and finally be
came under his cherishing care a wilderness of
verdure, a p irad se of fl iwers, aud a gar fen of
baits worthy < f being namad with the famous
Hesperides Tne magicai-transf irmation cf a

ordinary belief, as it did fascinate every aston

II s first labors were devoted to greenhouse
andhariy ornamanial plan's, which were at

field so as to ii c'ude ihe cultivation of frail
and ornamental trees, a taste f >r which he is
to be very Urg lv credited with introducing. In

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Brooklyn, October 2 —The capacity for a
still larger audience has been made at the
Brooklyn tabnsrnacle. An adjoiied lecture
room bas been built so that during the week
it is used by itself, but on tbe Sabbath it is
thrown into tbe main auditorium and filled by
those sitting or standing. Notwithstanding
the enlargement, the crowds that go away not
able to get inside the building are greater this
fall than ever before. To-day the pastor ex
plained appiopriaie passages of scripture.
Profess ar Browne rendered upon the organ the
first sonata iu D minor, Ritter. The text of
the sermon was from II. Corinthians, chapter
viii, verse 9: "Ye know tbe grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet
for your sakes Ha became poar.” Dr. Talmage
said:
That all tbe worlds which, on a cold winter’s
night make the heaven’s on9 grand glitter, are
inbabitantle8s is an absurdity. Philosophers
tell us that many of these worlds are too hot
or too cold or too rarefied of atmosphere for
residence. But, if not fit for human abode,
they may be fit for beings different from and
superior to ourselves. We are told that the
world of Jupiter is changing until it is almost
fit for creatures like the human race, and that
vlars would do for tl e human family with a
little change in the stru nure of the respiratory
organs But that there 'B a great world swung
somewhere, vast beyond imagination, and that
it is the headquarters of the universe, and the
metropolis of immensity, and has a population
in number vast beyond all statistics, and ap
poiulments of splendor beyond the capacity of
canvas, or poem, or angel to describe, is as
certain as the Bible is authentic. Perbapa
some of the astronomers with their big tele
scopes, tiave already caught a glimpse of it, not
knowing wbat it is. Wo spell it with six let

That is where Prii ce J^sns lived nineteen
centuries ago. He was the King’s son. It was
tbe old homestead of eternity, and all its cas
tles were as old as God. N rt a frost bad ever
chilled the air. Not a tear had ever rolled
down the cheek oi one of its inhabitants There
had never been iu it a headache, a sideache or
a heartache. There had not been a luueral in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. There
had never in all the land been woven a black
veil, for there had never been anything to
mourn over. The passage of mdlious of years
had not wrinkled or crippled or bedimmed any
of its Citizens. All the people there live in a
state of eternal adolescence What fl iral and
pomonic richness! Gardens of perpetual bloom
and orchards in unending fruit age. Had some
spirit from another world entered and asked,
what is sin? what is bereavement? waat is
sorrow? what is death? the brightest of the in
telligences would have failed to giV9 defini

sitence in heaven for half an hour. The Prince
of whom 1 speak had honors, emoluments, ac

garlands of white lilies aud threw them in the
way. He never entered any of tbe temp.es
without all the worshippers rising up and bow
ing in obedience. In all the processions of the
high days He was the one who evoked ihe lou i-
est welcome. Sometimes on foot, walking in
loving talk with the humblest cf the land, but
at other times he took a chariot, and among
the twenty thousand that David spoke of His
was the s vittest and most flaming; or, as when
John described Him, He took white palfrey

and roll of man, and gleam of eye is only d mly
suggested in the AjiocaH pse. He was not l'ko
other princes, waiting for the Father to die and
then take the throne. When a few years ago
an artist in Germany made a picture for the
royal gallery representing Emperor William on
the throne, and the crown prince as having one
foot on the step of the throne, Emgeror Wil
liam ordered the picture changed and said:
"Let the prince keep his foot off the throne
til! I leave it,”
Already enthroned was the heavenly prince,
side by s'de with his father. What a circla of
dominion! What myrmidons of admirers!
What unending round of glories! AU the tow
ers chimed the prince’s praises. Of all the
inhabitants from the cantre of the city, on
over the hills and clear down to the beach
against wh ch the ocean of immensity rolls its
billows, the prince was tbe aeknow edged fa
vorite. Nr wonder my text says that, “He
was rich.” Set sll the diaui-mds of the earth
iu one scep ro, build all the palaces of the
ear h in one Alhrn.b a, gather all ihe, pearls of
the sea in one diade n, put all the values of
the earth in o n e cole; the argre^ate would not
express his tence. Yvs, Prulwis right
Solomon had in goli six hundred and eighty
million pounds and iu silver one billion twenty
nine million three hundred and tevectv-seven
pounds sterl ng. B it a greater than Solom on
is here. Not the mi liona're, but the quadrill-
iona re of heaven. To describe his celestial
surroundings the Bible us s all colors gather
ing them in a rainbow over lha throne and set
ting them as agate iu the -emple wind »w, and
hoisti 'g twelve of them into a wail from
striped j riper as the hare to transparent a me
thyst iu the capstone, while bet wee.i are green
of etn-rald, and snow of pearl, and blue of
sapphire, and yellow of topas, aud gray of
ebrysoprasua and flame of jacinth. All the
loveliness of lands-ape in foliage and river and
riil, and all enchantment aq lamanne, the sea
ofgl&"S mingled with fire, as when the sun
sinks in tho Mediterranean. All the thrill of
music, ins! rum-ntal and vocal, harps, trum
pe'S, doxologa s. There stood the prinoe, sur
rounded by those who had undtr their wings
tho velocity of millions of miles iu a second,
rich in love, rich in holiness, rich as God.
But one dav there was a big disaster in a
department of God’s universe. A race fallen 1

catastrophe! A globe rwin. ing out inti dark

awful centrifugal of 6in seemi ig to overpower
the beautiful centripetal of riglrteomnesa, and
from it a groan reached heaven. S ich asound
had never been h-ari there. Plenty of sweet
sounds, but never au outcry of distress, or an
echo of agony. At that one groin the Prince
ro-e from all the blissful circumstance, aai
started for the outer gate, and descended into
the t ight of this wer d. Out of what a bright
harbor into what a rough seal "Stay with
us,” cried angel after angel, and potentate af
ter potentate. "Nsaid the Prince; "I
cannot stay; I must-be off for that wreck of a
world. 1 mint stop that groan. I muat hush
that distress I must fathom that. way. I
must redeem those nations. Farewell, thrones

have no time to lose, for hark ye to the groan
that grows mightier whiio I wait. Farewell!
farewell!”
"Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that., though Le was rich, yet for your sakes
He become poor.”
Was there ever a contrast so overpowering
as that between the noonday of Christ’s celes
tial departure and the midnight of H s earthly
arrival? Sure enough, the ange's were out
that night in the sky, and especial meteor act
ed as escort, but ail that was from other worlds
and i ot from this world. Tire earth made no
demonstration of welcome. If one of the
great princes of this world steps out at a de
pot ch^er < resound, and the bands play, and
the flog? wave. Bnt for the arrival of this
missionary Prince of the skies not a torch
fl <xed, not a trumpet blew, not a p'.nme flutter
ed. All the mu-tic and the pomp were over
head. O tr world opened for Him nothing bet
ter than a barn door, The raj ah of Cashmere
tent to Victoria a bedstead of carved gold and
a canopy that coat seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, but the worli had for the
Prince of heaven and easth only a litter of
straw. The crown jswe s in the tower of Lon
don amount to fifteen million dollars, but this
l member of eternal royalty had nowhere to lay
i His head. To know dow p >or He was, ask the
camel drivers, ask the Shephards, ask Mary,
1 hk the tt ree w se men of the East who afier-
: ward came theie, young Caspar and middle-
i aged Baihasar and old Melchior. To know
how poor He was, examine all the records of
real estate in all that Oriental country, at d see
wbat vineyard, or what house, < r what ti Id
He owned. Not one. Of waat mortgage w*g
He the mortgagee.? Of what tenement was He
the landloid? Of what lease was He the les
see’ Who ever paid Him rent? Nit owning
the boat on which He sailed, or the beast on
which He rode, or the pillow on wuich He
slept He bad so little estate that in order to
pay His tax He bad to perform a miracle, put-
tiug tue amount of the assessment in a flan’s
mouth and having it hauled ashore. Aud after
His death the world lushed iu to take au in
ventory of His go da, and the entire aggregate
was the garments He had worn, sleeping in
them by night and travelmg in inem by day,
bearing on them the dust of me highway and
ibe saturation of tne sea Paul, in my text,
d.d not go far from hitting the mark, did he,
when he Raid of the missionary Prince: "For
your sakes He became poor?”
Tne woiid oould have treated Him better if
it had chosen. It ha t all the means for mak
ing His earthly condition comfortable. O.ily a
few years before, wnen Pompay, the General,
arrived at Brindisi, he wss gree ed witu aides
and a cosvy coium-i, which celebrated the
twelve mi.lion people whom he bad killed or
conquered, aud he was allowed to wear his tri-
urnpDal robe iu the senate. Tne world had
applause for imp rial buteners, but huff ting
for the Prince oi peace Plenty of golda n cha
lices for the favored to drink out of, but our
Prince must put His lips to the bucket of the
well by the roadside after He had begged for a
drink. Poor? Born in auother man’s bam,
and eating at another mail’s table, and cruis ng
the la»e in another man’s fidnng smack, and
buried iu another man’s mausoleum. F. ur
inspired authors wrote of His biography, and
innumerable lives of Christ have b<en pub
lished, but He composed H s autobiography in
a most compres-ed way. He said: "I have
trodden the wine press al me.” Poor in the
estimation of nearly ail the prosperous classes.
They called Him a Sabbath-breaker, wine-
bibber, traitor, blasphemer, and ransacked the
dictionary of opprobrium from lid to I d to ex
press their detestation. I can think now of
oniy two well-to-do men who espoused His
cause, Niohodemus and Joseph of Arimathea.
Hm friends for the most part were people who—
in that climate where opbthalmy, or intiamma
tion of the ey eball, sweeps ever and anon as a
scourge—had becime blind, sickpe>ple who
were anxious to get well, and troubled people
iu whose family there was Borne one dead or
dying. If He bad a purse at all it was empty,
or we would have heard wbat was done with
the contents at the post mortem Poor? The
pigeon in the dove-cote, the rabbit in its bur
row, the silk worm in its cocoon, tbe bee in i'S
hive is better provided for, better off, better
sheltered. Aye. the brute creation has a borne
on earth, which Cnrist has not.
If on windy days the raven
Gambol like a danc ng skiff,
Not the less he loves his haven
Oa the bosom of tho cliff.
If almost with aagla pinion
O’er toe Alps tue ebami ia roain,
Yet he bas some small dominion
Which, no doubt, he calls fcia home.
Bat the Crown Prince of all Heavenly do
minion Las less thau the reven, less than the
camois, for he was homeless Aye, iu the
nistory of the uuiv-r«e there is no other in
stance of such coming down. Who can count
the miles from the top of the throne to ihe bot
tom of the cross? Cleepura, giving a banquet
to Antony, took a pearl worth a hundred thou
sand dobars and disso ved it in vinegar and
swa lowed it. But when our Prince, ac tording
to the evangelist, in Ilia last hours took the
vinegar, iu it had been digs lved all ihe pearls
if His Heavenly roially. Diwn until there
waa no < ther depth for Him to touch; trouble i
until there was no other hurras ament to suffer;
poor uuti tfere was no other pauperism to
torture. BiilioLSof dollars spent in wars to
destroy men, who will furnish the statistics of
the vaiue of that precious blood that was shed
tosiveue? "Ye know the grate of our L ird
Jesus Christ, that, though H-t was rich, yet for
j our s ikes He hi c ime poor ”
Ou'y those who study this text in two places
can fully reach its power, the Holy Land rf
Asia Minor and the holy land of heav.-u H ;w
t should like some day to take a drink out of
Jicob’s well, aud take a sail on Galilre, and
read tbe Sermon on tbe Mount while standing
on Olivet, and see the wilderness where Christ
was tempted, and be some afternoon on Calva
ry at about 3 o’clock, the hour at which closed
the crucifixion, and sit under tbe sycamores by
the side of the brooks, and think and dream
and pray abont the peverty of Him who came
our souls to save. But you and I will probably
be denied that, and so here, in another conti
nent and in another hemisphere, and in scenes
as different as possible, we recount as well as
we may how p >or our heavenly prince became.
And in the other holy land above we may ali
study the riches that Hs li-ft behind when he
started for earthly expedition. Como, let us
bargain to meet each other at the door of the
Father’s mansion, or on the bank of the river
just where it robs from under the throne, or at
the outside gale. Jesus got, the conirast by
exchanging that world for this; we will get it
oy exchanging this world for that. There aid
then you will understand more of the vonders
of the grace of our Lord Jesus Ctirist, who,
"though ha was rich, ytt ior your sakes be
came poor.”
Yes, grace, free grace, sovereign grace, om
nipotent grace. Among the thousands of
words in tue language tfrere is no more queen
ly word. It means free and unmeriti d kind
ness. My text has no monopoly of the word.
One hundred and twenty l ine times does the
Biole eulogize grace. It is a dj >r swung wide
open to ltt into tho pardon of God all the mil
lions who choose to enter it.
John Newton sang of it when he wrote:
Amazing zrace, bow sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like mi!
Philip Doddridge put it into all hymnology
whtu he wrote:
"Grice, ’tia a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo sha 1 resound,
And all the world shall hear.”
One of John Bnnyan’R great bocks is enti
tled ‘Abounding Grace ” ‘Tt is all of grace
ifcat I am saved” has been on the Ins of hun
dreds of dying Christians. The boy Sammy
waB right when, bring examined for a Imiaaion
into church membership, be was asked:
"Whose work was your salvation?” and he
answered: "Part mine and part God’s.”
Then the examiner asked: “What part did
you do, Sammy?” and the answer was: "I
opposed God ali I could, and he did the rpri!"
0 the height of it, the depth of it, the length of
if, tho breadth of it, tho grace of G>d! Mr.
F etcher having written a pamphlet that
pleased the kine, thekng off-red to '■o nptn-
sate him, and Fietcher answtred: "Taere iR
only one thing I want and that is more grace."
Yes, my blood bought bearers, grace to live by
a id grace to die by. Grace that saved the
publican, that saved Lvdia. that saved the dy
ing ih ef, that saved the jailor, that saved me.
But the riches of that gitce will not ba fully
understood until heaven breaks iu upon the
soul. An old Sco chmau, who had been a sol
dier in one of the European wars, was sick snd
dying in one of our American hospitals. H.s
one cesire was to see Scotland and his old
home, and once again walk the hether of the
H.galands, and hear the bagp pes of the Sootch
regime its. The night that the old Shotch sol
dier died a young man, somewhat reckless but
kind hearted, got a company of muglciaos to
come and play under the old soldier’s w.ndow,
and among the instruments there was a bag
p ! pe. The instant that the musicians began
the dying old man in delirium said: “What’s
that, wha.’s that? Why it's The regiments
coming home. That’s the tune. Yes, that’s
the tnoe. Thank God, I have got home once
more!” ‘‘Bonny Scotland and Bonny Doon,"
were the last words he uttered as he passed up
to the highlands of the better country. And
there are here to-day hundreds hnmo-sick
for heaven, some because you have so many
bereavtments, some because you have so many
temptations, some because you have so many
ailments, homesick, very homesick, for tho
fatherland of heaven, and the music that you
want to hear now is tho song of lrce grace,
and the music you want to hear when you die j
is free grace, and forever before the throne of |
God yon will sing of the "grace of our Lord
Jetus Christ., who though he was rich, for i
your sakes became poor!”
Yes, yes; for your sakes! It was not on a
pleasure excursion that He came, for it was
all pain. It was not on an astronomical ex
ploration, for Ha knew this world as well be
fore he alighted as afterwards. It was not be
cause He was compelled to cone, for He
volunteered. It was not because it was easy,
for He knew tba. it would be thorn and spite
and hunger and thirst, aLd vociferation oi
angry mobs. F r your sokes! Wipe awsy
your tears. To forgive your wrong doings, to

AUGUSTA, GA. *
to bind up your wounds in the ugly battle with
the world aud bring you home al last, kindling
ud the mists that lall on your dying virion with
t ie eua.'ubt of a glorious morn. For your
sakes? No; I wili change that. Paul will not
care, and Chrirt wili not care if I change it, for
I must gat into the blessedness of tbe text my
self, and so I say: “For our sakes!’’ For we
all have our temptations, and bereavements,
and coi fl.CiS. For our sakes! We who de
serve for our s ns to be expatriated into a
wor d as much poorer than this earth was
poorer than heaven. For our sakes!
But what a fruitful coming down to take us
glononsly up. When Anaxerxes was hunting,
T’irebazus, who was attending him, showed the
king a rent in his garment.. The king said.
"How shall 1 mend it?” "Bv giving it to me,”
said Tirebazns. Then the king gave him the
robe, bnt commanded him never to wear it as
it would be inappropriate. S?e the startling
and comforting faci, while our prince throws
off the habit he not ooly allows ua to wear it
but commands us to wear it, and it will be
come us well, and for the poverties of our
spiritual s'ate we may put on the sp'endors c.f
heavenly regalemert. For our sakes I O, the
personality of this religion! Not an abstra:-
tion, not an arch under which we walk to be
ll aid elaborate masonry, not an ice-castle like
that which Empress Elizabeth, cf Russia, over
a hundred years ago ordered constructel, win
ter with its trowel of crystal cementing the
huge blocks that hai been quarried from the
frozen livers of the north, but a father’s house
with a wide hear .h crac Cling a hearty welcome.
A religion of warmth and inspiration, and
light, and cheer, something we can take into
oui hearts, atd homes, and business, recrea
tions, and joys and sorrows. Not an unman
ageable giit rise tho galley presented to Ptol
emy, which required foir thouaand men to
row, and i.s draught of water was so great
that it could not come near the shore, but
something you can runup p y stream of an
noyance, h iwevcr shallow. !, irichment now,
enrichment forever.
Right about Jace! for y are going in tbe
wroi g direction. While y are in a favorable
mood tor it, enter into life. Here and just
now dec de everything that makes for peace
and heaven. Agosszsays that he Las stood
at one place in me Aipa where he could throw
a chip into ihe water in one direction, and it
would roll on into the German ocean, or he
could throw a chip into the water in another
direc ion, and it would reach the Biack sea by
the Danube, or he could throw a chip in an
other direction and it wnu d enter the Mediter
ranean by iha Rhine. IIow far apart tbe Med
iterranean, and ihe. Biack Sea, and the Ger
man ocean! Standing to-day on this Alps of
G spe: privilege, you can project your soul
into right currents, and it wii] roll on into the
rcean ef life; or project it in ihe wrong direc
tion and it will roll into the sea of death. But
how far apart ihe two distances! May God
belp us to appreciate more and more tbe mo
mentous meaning of our text 1 Tbe seven wise
men of Greece were chiefly known each for
one apophegm; Solon for the faying: "Noth
ing is impossible to industry;” Cfcilo for tbe
saying: "Consider the end;” Thales for the
saying: "Suretyship is the precursor ot ruin.”
Aud Paul, distinguished for a thouaaLd utter
ances, might well eff ird to be memorable for
tbe saying: "You know the grace of our Lord
Jtsus C irist, that, though he woe rich, yet for
your sake s became poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich.”
