IDEALS.

V dies ra as mu» i ss haunts mine day by day,
A dream-of amu< ii, i g brighter than the earth
More glorious i » >i the son’s eternal ray?
And jet the vistt.ii 1 can never grasp,
For nearer a» I < ome it floats away,

I wonder if there's music in all lives
Like the melody that falls upon my ear?
It eon.es, it goes! I cannot catch the strain.
And yet the rapturous sound is ever near.
It seems as though my heartstrings had been
touched
By spirit hands, and thus awoke the song,
The song 1 always hear.
Is t here a picture foi med in eve ry brain,
Of wond reus lights and shades,of tints so rare,
That human painter cunning tbo’ he be,
Can never eatch the gleams that sparkle
there?
A picture glowing, waim with trembling life,
And which beside all others fadeaway
And vanish into air?
The dieem that tills my heart with strange
unrest
Is prtsage of the next whin this life's done.
The song, an echo of the spirit's cry,
Whose lina notes aie sung in heuv’n alone.
The picture, who can say? A glimpse, maybe.

MY JOURNAL.
“Our life is two-fold:
Sleep hath its own world.”
May S—'72—Fain world I lift the veil that ob-
acuies the future and look beyond! I am alt
eagernest to begin my new life— my heart vi
brates with expectant Joy. Sadness may fill
other hearts, hut mine shall be as free and hap
py as the birds of spring.
1 have formed an attachment for a lovely girl
of my own age, just across the way. she nas
two brothers-plain working young men—not
the ones that tuy heart tel s me shall figure iu
my life. Ah, my hero will be altogetber dif
ferent, tall and manly, and such eyes as he shall
have! 1 see my "chum” waving her hand. Tea is
ready, and she guts in. 'the twilight shades
aie falling around me. I love this hour best of
all the day. All is quiet! there seems to be a
hallowed stillness over the earth. A young and
■livery moon Is shining upon me.
1 clap my bands in girlish glee, for why
ahould not this moon reveal unto me who my
true love is to he! If 1 am to marry him, let me
aee him with his lace to ward me, and his back
to the tea. 1 shall put a haudful oi taud under
■ay pillow to make me dream.
May 10—Oh, so many things have happened in
the past few days. First, my dream was just won
derlul. 1 saw tnree persons, One was my hero
tall and nob.e looking; but what had 1 to do with
the others? One w as fair, with light curly hair
falling gently over a white brow; the other waa
m pale, melancholy youth-a youth to fortune
and to lame unknown. A shadow crossed my
pathway—a long dark shadow. Then a change
came over the spirit of my dream. 1 saw a new
made grave, and youth and strong manhood
■food alone.
1 wish no more of fair Luna's fortune telling-
for three days lster 1 attended a picnic in the
woods, and met two so like the two in my
dream but my ideal hero waa not there.
May 13— Mr. B. called to see me. 1 like him
very much. Mama thinks 1 am too young to re
ceive attention from the boys.
May Si—If Mr. B. was only tall and not a
blonde, I could make a hero of him.
May 2t—He waa here again laat evening
Mama says he has beautiiul manners and un
friend across the way thinks him charming
Bhe, tco, baa gentlemen visiting her. One 1 do
not like, and she talks of him most. 1 can't say
why 1 dislike him, for.he is handsome and very
fascinating.

Let n e tel you people of au accident- or, gg
Ism supposed lo be strictly noser, I should
say an incident. Anywsy there wts a duit in
it (There was ont m Juy side also teat lasted a
week) Well, now for ihe dint; it happened
when I wss on my way out hire. At Marshall I
noticed a gay trio bet id the train. There were
two very pretty girls and a young man. They
all resembled very much, so I supposed they
were brothers and sisters Well, everything got
on nicely till about midnight. I noticed that
my yoong lady frienda were evidently getting
fatigued. They would take it by turns leaning
on their brother. (And obi how I envied that
boy). At last one of them went to get a drink
oi water and I being in the seat jnst in iront of
her brother, she mistook me for him, on her
return; so she site down by me. But she did
not stop st that. She just squared herself
around on the seat and leaned over on me—with
those beantiinl golden curls brushing my pale
cheeks. (Y'ou know I did not feel in good health
then). She was more asleep than awake, so I
hated to disturb the dear thing. But when her
big bud looked over and said in a very bossy
kind of voice, “Grade!” 1 gave her a little push
and ‘ hollered,” “I-ady. you’re mistaken in the
msn.” When she realized her true porition she
gave au unearthly yell and a much more un
earthly punch with her elbow (aud that’s where
I got my dent). The rest of their journey they
msde in a sleeper. They ought to have done
that a: fiist, i think. Firline.
FANCY WORK.
FANCY LAMP MATS.
£ Tike white ibcct wedding, cut a circular
piece thirUen inches iu diameler, button-hole
stiich around the edge with colored stpbjr—I
think gieen prettiest—tut icven circular pieces
each six inches iu diameter, and work around
in Ibe same waj: double ll cm all through tie
center once, then aeioss through the center
again and tack them around tie large circle by
the center or points of Ihe imall ones, letting
the worked edges lap over where they are tacked.
This forms a shell-work all around the outside.
These are very lovely, aud very easy to make, as
well.
To make two useful sud ornamental articles
of a common cheese box, take the top ol box,
nail three broomsticks inside at equal distances
from each other, crossing to form legs Confiue
at the crossing with strong wire passed through
the holes in ti c sticks. Stain—not paint—with
any kind of staining preferred—walnut, cherry,
or oak lor a cover, take Canton flannel of any
color desired, navy blue or old gold heiugmy
choice, cut a round piece to fit the top, take a
strip of the fame two or three inches wide, and
long enough to extend around the top sew the
strip to the round fiece, joining the ends in a
neat seam en the wrong side, sew around the
lower edge any pretty worsted fringe to match
the color of your goods, put this on over the
top, tie s nice bow of ribbon, matching the
cover in color, around where the legB cross, and
you have an intxpensiee aud pretty lamp
stand.
Now. to dispose of the box. Drive a stake in
the ground in a shady place in your front yard,
so as to stand firmly, and at the required height;
nail a bit of hoard on top oi this and another
piece across the first, to form a strong founda
tion. T'pon this nail the box securely. Take a
f dece of grape vine two or three y aids long,
asten the ends of the vine on opposite sides of
the inside of the- box, and bore a small hole in
the bottom oi the latter to drain off the water.
Fill with rich dirt and sand, having the latter
about an inch deep at the bottom- Now, plant
a vine with fine leaves at the sides of the box
where the ends of the grape vine art fastened,
and train the tendrils up over the vine. Cy
press vines are nice for this. I u'. a geranium
or other desirable plant in the center, and
trailing plants around the edge to fall over the
outside, and you have a very prelty flower-

QUEER CHINESE MEDICINES.
s
ING, DECEMBER 13, 1890.
TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Antelopes’ horns, powdered, the Chinese
believe to be excellent for rheumatism.
A decoction from the hedgehog’s hide is
considered in China excellent for skin dis-
Novelties which are now being shown for the
holidays are little brackets with drapery attach
ments—little, delicate frail things of bamboo or
some other light wood made with almost rustic
simplicity, hut backed by a heavy semicircular
silk scarf, which foims a decorative background
as it hangs on the wall, or a little bracket with
queer looking curtains banging from it, odd
things, curious—Dever seen before, and made at
prices that would guarantee their sale, some
thing like *15 a dozen, we believe.
A man with a good deal of originality has
adopted the tape idea which we see in Renais
sance lace curtains, ior applique purpoies, upon
valances or portieres. He has taken a quarter-
inch ribbon of a quiet shale, having a beaded
edge and reversible colors, and worked it upon
a background of some neutral color. It gives a
very pleasing effect, on the order of Louis XVI,
ribbon designs.
There appears to be a noticeable demand ior
the old Dutch effects iu fine parlor furniture.
BUT FOR A MOMENT.
But for a moment, and a flash of shining wings
Swept by me on the air; 1 felt the Inscious wine
Of passion riotous intoxicate my brain,
And reel my senses in a soft delirium
Of bliss, ana yet so wild it was akin to pain.
I saw revealed, when jeweled hinges turned, 1
felt
The warm, sweet tremor of its life within mine
own,
I heard the low, delicious breathings of the
heart
Of paradise.
But for a moment, and the slumberous portals
swung
With noiseless sound. I woke and wept, alas!
I waa alone.
But for a moment, you and I shall stand with
mute
Unquestioned trust upon the threshold of •
land
Our feet have never pressed; shall hear the dis
tant sounds
Our ears have never heard; and i rearing nearer
Shall see the gleaming gates again unfold; unto
Us still the wondrous shining heart of gold re
veal
Its sacred life, its rapturous powers—
But for a moment—
And a deathless Paradise ia ours.

Acta lx, 3. Dr. Tatmage said:
In Palestine we spent last night in w
mud hovel of one story, but camels and
aheep in the baserr/int. Yet never did the
meat brilliant hotel on any continent aeem
ao attractive to me as that structure. If
we had been obliged to stay in a tent, as we
expected to do that night, we must have
perished. A violent storm had opened
upon us its volleys of hail and snow and
rain and wind as if to let us know what
the Bible means when prophet and evan
gelist and Christ himself spoke of the fury
of the elements. The atmospheric wrath
broke upon ns about 1 o’clock in the after
noon and we were uytiF night exposed to
it. With hands flW'fcet benumbed, and
•arbodie.- chilled to the bone, we made
onr slow way. While high up on the
rocks, and the gale blowing the hardest, a
signal of distress halted the party, for
down in the ravineSkene of the horses had
fallen and his rider must uot be left alone
amid that wilderness of scenery and horror
of storm. As the night approached the
temjiest thickened and blackened and
strengthened. Home of our attendants
going ahead had gained permission for ns
to halt for the uigfefin the mud hovel I
spoke of. Our first duty on arrival was
the resuscitation of the exhausted of our
party. My room was without a window,
and au iron stove without any lop in the
center of the room, the smoke selecting
my eyes in t he absence of a chimney.
Through an opening in the floor Arab
faces were several times thrust up to see
how 1 was progressing. But the tempest
ceased during the night, and before it was
fully day we were feeling for the stirrups
of our saddled horses, this being the day
whose long march will bring us to that
city whose name cannot be pronounced in
the hearing of the intelligent or the Chris
tian without making the blood tingle and
the nerves to thrill, and putting the best
emotions of the soul into agitation—Damas

During the day we passed Ctesarea
Philippi, the northern terminus of Christ’s
journeyings. North of that he never went.
We lunch at noon, seated on the fallen

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, coming to a

The river Abaaal And not far off tba river

north, deserts to the south, deserts to the
seat, deserts to the west, but here a para
dise. And as the riven Gihon and Piaon
and Hiddekel and Euphrates made the
other paradise, A bona and Pharpar make
this Damascus a paradise. That is what
made Gen. Naaman of this city of Damas
cus ao mad when he was told for the cure
of hie leprosy to go and wash in the river
Jordan. The river Jordan is much of the
year a muddy stream aud St is never so
clear as this river Abana that l hear rumb
ling under my window to-night nor as the
river Pharpar that we crossed today. They
are as clear as though they had been
sieved through some especial sieve of the
mountains. Gen. Naaman had great and
patriotic pride in these two rivers of his
own country, and when Elisha the prophet
told him that if he wanted to get rid of his
leprosy he must go and wash in the Jor
dan, he felt as we who live on the magnifi
cent Hudson would feel if told that we
must go and wash in the muddy Thames,
or as if those wito live on the transparent
Rhine were told that they must go and
wash in the muddy Tiber.
So Gen. Naaman cried out with a voice
as loud ta ever he had Used in command
ing his troops, uttering those memorable
words which every minister of the gospel
sooner or later takes for his text: “Are not
Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus,
better than the waters of Israel? May 1
not wash in them and be clean?” Thank
God, we live in a land with plenty of rivers,
and that they bless till our Atlantic coast
and all our Pacific coast, and reticulate all
the continent between the coasts. Only
thoso who have traveled iu the deserts of
Syria, or Egypt, or have in the oriental cit
ies heard the tinkling of the bell of those
who sell water can realize what it is to
have this divine beverage in abundance.
Water rumbling over the rocks, turning
the mill wheel, saturating the roots of the

viting the cattle to come down and slako

AWAKENING IN THE MORNING.
We are awakened iu t he morning in Da
mascus by the song of tiiose wito have
different styles of food to sell. It is not a
street cry as in London or New York, but
weird and long drawn out solo, com
pared with which a buzz saw is musical.
It makes you inopportunely waken, and
will not let you sleep again. But to those
who understand the exact meaning of the
song it Iteeoines quite tolerable, for they
sing: “God is the nourisher, buy my bread;”
God is the nourisher, buy my milk;”
God is the nourisher, buy tnv fruit-.” As , . . , ,

subdued hissing of a hatred for Christian

does not declare allegiance to Mohammed.

columns of porphyry and kneeling place*

of pure gold, a single prayer offered in this
mosque said to be worth thirty thousand
prayers offered in any other place. I turn
my back on till those and sec Damascus as
it was when this narrow street, which the
Bible calls St raight,was a great wide street,
a New York Broadway or a Parisian
Champs Elysees, a great thoroughfare
crossing the city from gats to gate, along
which tramped and rolled the pomp of all
nations.
There goes Abraham, the father of all
the faithful. II.; has in this city been pur
chasing a celebrated slave. There goes
Ben Hadad of Bible times, leading thirty-
two conquered monarchs. There goes Da
vid, king, warrior and sacred poet. There
goes Tamerlane, the conqueror. There
goes Haronn al Raschid, once the com
mander of an army of ninety-five tiiousand
Persians and Arabs. Tltere comes a war
rioronliis way to the barracks, carrying
that kind of sword which tiie world has
forgotten how to make, a Damascus blade,
with the interfacings of color changing at
every new turn of the light, many colors
coming and going and interjoining, the
blade so keen it could cut in twain an ob
ject without making the lower part of tlie
object tremble, with an elasticity that
could not be broken, though you brought
the point of the sword clear back to tlie
hilt, and having a watered appearance
which made the blade seem as though just
dipped in a clear fountain, a triumph of
cutlery which a thousand modern foundry
men and chemists have attempted in vain
to imitate. On the side of this street
damasks, named after this city, figures ol
animals and fruits and landscapes here
being first wrought into silk—damasks.
And specimens of damaskeening by which
in this city steel and iron were first graved,
and then the groves filled with wire ol
gold—damaskeening. But stand back or
be run over, for here are at the gates of the
city laden caravans from Aleppo in one
direction, and from Jerusalem in another
direction, and caravans of all nations pay
lug toll to this supremacy. Great is Da

This is the very road, for it has lieen the
only ro:id for thousands of years, the road
from Jerusalem to Damascus, along which
a cavalcadeof mounted officers went, ul>out
1,8M years ago, iu t tie midst of them a fierce
little man who made up by magnitude of
hatred for Christianity for his diminutive
stature, and was tiie leading spirit, and,
though suffering from chronic inliamma-
tion of the eyes, from t hose eyes Uiushed
more indignation ajplinst Christ’s followers
than any one of the horsed procession. This
little man, before liis name was changed to
Paul, was called $aul. So many of the
mightiest natures of all ages are condensed
into smallness of stature. The Frenchman
who was sometimes called by his troops

day, because of the clarity of the atmos

the noonday sun in Syria is positively ter
rific for brilliance. But suddenly that noon
there flashed from the heavens a light
which made that Syrian sun seem tame as
a star in comparisbn. It was the face of the
■lain and ascenifed Christ looking from
the heavens, and under the ilash of that
overpowering light all the horses dropped
with their riders.’Human face and horse’s

Rail and mumbling way: “God is great. I
bear witness that there is no God but God.
I bear witness that Mohammed is the
apostle of God. Come to prayers! Come
to salvation! God is great. There is no
other hut God. Prayers are better than
sleep.” Five times a day intis:, the Mo
hammedan engage in worship. As he
begins he turns his face toward the city
of Mecca, and unrolls upon the ground a
rug which hit almost always carries. With
his thumbs touching the lobes of liis ears,
and holding his face between liis hands, be
cries: “God is great.” Then folding his
hands across bis girdle, he looks down and
says: “Holiness to thee, O God, aad praise
be to thee. Great is thy name. Great Is
thy greatness. There is no deity but thee.”
Then the worshiper sits upon his heeLs,
then he touches his nose to the rug, and
then his forehead, these genuflections ac
companied with the cry, “Great is God.”
Then, raising the forefinger of his right
hand toward heaven, ho says: “I testify
there is no deity but God, and I testify
that Mohammed is the servant of God, and
the messenger of God.” The prayers close
by tbe worshiper holding his bands opened
upward as if to take the divine blessing,
and then his hands are rubbed over bis
face as if to convey the blessing to his en
tire body.
REASONS FOR PRAISING MOHAMMEDANISM.
There are two or three commendable
things about Mohammedanism. One is
that its disciples wash before every act of
prayer, and that is five times a day, and
there is a gospel in cleanliness. Another
commendable thing is they don’t care who
is looking and nothing can stop them in
their prayer. Another thing is that by
tha order of Mohammed, and an order
obeyed for thirteen hnndred years, no Mo
hammedan touches strong drink. But the
polygamy, the many wifehood of Moham
medanism, has made that religiou the un
utterable and everlasting curse of woman,
and when woman sinks tho race sinks.
The proposition recently made in high ec
clesiastical places for the reformation of
Mohammedanism, instead of its oblitera
tion, is like an attempt to improve a plague
or educate a leprosy. There is only one
thing that will ever reform Mohammedan
iam, and that is its extirpation from the
face of the earth by the power of the gospel
of the Sou of God, which makes not only
man, but woman, free for this life and free
for the life to come.
The spirit of the horrible religion which
prevades the city of Damascus, along
whose streets we walk and out of whose
bazars we make purchases, and in whose
mosques we study the wood carvings and
bedizen men’s, was demonstrated as late aa
1800, when in this city it pat to death 0,000
Christians in forty-eight hours and put to
the torch 3,000 Christian homes, and those
■treats we walk today were red with tba
*rt*p, and the shrieks and groans of tha
dying and dishonored men and women

blind. Yes, it is Saul of Tarsus now going
along tills street called Straight. He is led
by his friends, for ho cannot see liis hand
before his face, unto the house of Judas;
not Jndns tiie had, but Judas the good. In
another part of this city one Ananias, not
Ananias the liar, but Ananias the Chris
tian, is told by tiie Ix>rd to go to this house
of Judas on Straight street and put ills
hands on the Idiud eyes of Saul that his
sight might return. “Oh,” said Ananias,
“I dare not go; that Saul is a terrible fel
low. He kills Christians and he will kill
me.” “Go,” said the Lord and Ananias
went. There aits in blindness that tre
mendous persecutor. He wus a great
nature crushed. He had started for the
city of Damascus for the one purpose of
assassinating Christ’s followers, but since
that fall from Lis horse he has entirely
changed. Ananias steps up to llie sight
less man, puts his right thumb on one eye
and the left thumb on the otbereye, and in
an outburst of sympathy and love aud
faith says: “Brother Saul! Brother Saul!
the Lord, even Jesus that appeared unto
thee in the way as thou earnest, has sent
me that thou mayst receive thy sight and
be filled with the Holy Ghost.” Instantly ,
something like scales fell from the blind j
man’s eyes, and he arose from that seat the !
mightiest evangel of all tbe ages, a Sir
William Hamilton for metaphysical analy
sis, a John Milton for sublimity of thought, i
a W'hitefield for popular eloquence, a John
Howard for widespread philanthropy, but j
more than all of them put together i aspired,
thunderbolted, multipotent, apostolic. Did
Judas, the kind host of this blind man, or
Ananias, tbe visitor, see scales drop from
the sightless eyes? I think not. Bnt Paul
knew they hail fallen, and that is all that
happens to any of us when we are convert-
ad. The blinding scales drop from oar eyes
and we sec things differently.
A Christian woman, missionary among
a most degraded tribe, whose religion was
never to wash or improve personal appear
ance, was trying to persuade one of those
heathen women not only of need of change
st heart but change of habits, which
would result in change of appearance bnt
the effort failed until the missionary had
placed in her own hallway a looking glass,
and when the barbaric woman passing
through the hall saw herself in the mir
ror forthe first time, she exclaimed, “Can
ft be possible I look like that?” and ap
palled at her own appearance she renounced
her old religion and asked to be instructed
in the Christain religion. And so we feel
that we arc all right in our sinful and un
changed condition until the scales fall
from our eyes, ;.u d iu the looking glass of
God’s word we see out selves as we really
are, until divine grace transforms us.
MANY PEOPLE ARE BUND.
There are many people in this house to
day as blind as Paul was before Ananlna
touched his eyes. And there are many
here from whose eyes the scales have al
ready fallen. You see all subjects aad all
things differently—God and Christ and
eternity, and your own immortal spirit.
Sometimes tbe scales do not all fall at
once. When I was a boy, at Mount Pli
ant, one Sunday afternoon reading Dodd
ridge’s “Rise and Progress of Religion in
theBonl,” that afternoon some of tbe aealea
fell from my eyes and I saw a little. After
I had been in tbe ministry about a year,
one Sunday afternoon in’ the village par
sonage reading the Bible story of the Syro-
Phenidau’s faith, other scales fell from
my eyes and I saw better. Two Sunday
evenings ago, while preparing for the even
ing service in New York, I picked a
book that I did not remember to have seen
before, and after I had read a page about
reco nsec ration to God I think the remain
ing scales fell from my eyes. ShaU not
our visit to Damascus today result, like
Paul’s visit, iu vision to the blind and in
creased vision for those who saw some
what before?
I was reading of a painter’s child who
became blind iu infancy. But after the
child was nearly grown a surgeon removed
the blindness. When told that this could
be done, the child’s chief thought, her
mother being dead, was she would be able
to see her father, who had watched over
her with great tenderness. When night
came site was in raptures, and ran her
hands over her father’s face, and shut her
eyes ns if to assure herself that this waa
really the lather wnom sne naa only
known by touch, and now looking upota
him, noble man as he was in aupearaRQi
as well as in reality, she cried out: “JmM
to think that I had this father so mamy
years and never knew him!” As great Mid
greater is the soal’a joyful surprise whoa
the scales fall from the eyee and the Itej
spiritual darkness ia ended, and we fart
up into our father’s face always "
and loving, but now for tbe first 1
and onr blindnesa forever gone, we MJfc
“Abba father!”
To each one of thtevast multitude te
auditors I say aa Ananias did to Saul te
Tarsus when hie sympathetic
touched tbe closed eyelids: “Brother
Brother Saul! The Lord, even Jesus that
appeared unto thee in the way that thte
earnest, hath sent me that thou mightete
receive thv sight and be filled with tlte
Holy Ghost!”
TLe Beigm mf tho Parties.
Deducting the four years ot Johta
Tyler, the two of Millard Fillmore arte
tbe four of Grover Cleveland, during
which the control may be said to have
been divided, the United States has now
been governed 102 years (nearly) by tte
different parties in these proportion*
Federalists, twelve years; Jefferson Re
publicans. twenty-four years; Whig*,
two years (nearly); Democrats, twenty
eight years, and Republicans, twenty-six
years. At the close of President Har
rison’s term tbe rival parties will have
had exactly equal innings, and present
indications are that the fight on the
“rubber” will be a hot one.
