All the. world sang tho heroism and the •olf-Buerltleo of 1 rlucest Alice, but I have to toll you that when our race was dying the Lord Jesus stooped down and gave us Up) kiss of Ills ovorlasting Jove and perished that wo might live. “It Is Christ that died.'* Can you tell me how tender hoarted Paul could find anything to rejoleoat In tho bur- riblo death scene of Calvary? We weep at funerals | We are syntpatl^etie when we boo a stranger die ; when a mpjrdorer stops updu tho ftcutTohl wo pray for his departing spirit, and how could Paul—tho great hearted Paul —•find anything to .bo pleased with at the funeral of a God? Besides that Christ had only recently died, and the sorrow was fresh in the memory of the world, and how In the Ireah memory of n BuvIourVdouth could Paul bo exultant? It was because Paul saw In that death his own delivernrico and thudeliveraneaof a race from still worse Ulsastor. He saw the gup liito which tlitf raw must plnnge, And'he saw tho bleeding hands of Christ close it. The gliltering steel ou the top of the execution- er’s spear In hhrsfght kindled Into A tbroh to light roqn hoavenwanl. The persecutorshuav over tho crow five words writfon'in.Hebrew, 0reok and Latin, but Paul saw over the cross of Christ only one word—“expiation I” H» heard In the dying groan of Christ his own groan of eternal torture taken by another. Paul sitld to himself,“Had it not - been that Christ Volunteered in mvhehalf, thoso would have been my.nmulM ,liunds.«and fast, iny gashodslde, my crimson temples.“ Men of great physical ' endurance havo sometimes carried very heavy burdens —300 pounds, -100 pounds—and they- have still said - “My strength is Upt yet tested. Put on more weight.” llut after rfwhils they were compelled to cry.oqL* “.Slop! r can carry no more.” But the burden of Christ was Illimitable. First, there was Ills own burden of liungor and thirst and bereave ment and a thousand outrages that have been heaped unoa Him, and on top of that burden wore tli*v sorrows of His poor old mother, and on the top of those burdens the crimes of tho rulTlan.s who wcrO executing Him. “Stop !" you cry “It Is Enough. Christ can bear no more.” And Chrlm says, “Boll on more burdens ; roll on Me the slus of this entire nation, and after that roll on Me the sins of the Inhabited earth, and then roll on Mo the sins of tho 4000 years past, so far as those sins havo been forgiven." And the angels of God, seeing the awful pressure, ary • “.Stop ! lie can boar no more.” And the blood rushing to the nostril and lip seems locryput “Enough! He can endure no more.” But Christ says : “Boll on a greater 'burden, roll on tho sins of the next 1900 years, roll on Me the sins of the suceceding ages, roll on Me the agonies of hell, agea on ages, thQ furnaces and the prison houses and tho tortures." That Iff what the Bible menus when it snys, “IIo bore our sins and carried our sorrows." “Now," Hays Paul, “I am free. That suf fering purchased my deliverance. God never coIlootH a debt twice. I have a receipt in full. If Cod is satlslled with mo, then what ' do all tho threats of earth and lioll amount to? Bring on all your witnesses," says Paul. “Show all your force. Du your wornt against my soul. I defy you. I dare you. I challenge you. Who Is he that condemn-, eth'/NJt is Christ that died." Oh, wlmi u ptrong argument that puts in the hand of ev ery Christian man ! Home day all tho pant sins of hiH life come down on him hi a llory troop, and they pound away at the gate ol his soul, and they say “Wo have come foi your arrest. Any one of us could overcome you. Wo are 10,000 strong. Surrender.*' And you open the door, and slugle handed arid alone you contend against that troop. You lling this divine weapon into their midst. Toil scatter those sins as quick as you cal think it. “It Ih Christ that died." Why. then, brlni up to us the sins of our post life? What havt we to do with those obsolete things? You know how hard It is for a wrecker to bring up anything that Is lost near the shore of tin Hen, but suppose something be lost half waj between Liverpool and New York. It can not ho found , It cannot be fetched up “Now,”says God, “your sins havo been cnsi into the depths of. the sea." Mld-Atlantio All tho machinery ever fashioned in foun- drietf of darkness and launched from the doors of eternal death, working for 10.000 years, cannot bring up one of our sins for given and forgotten and sunken Into the depths of the seu. When a sIn Is pardoned, It is gone. It is gone out of the books ; it is gone out of the memory , it is gone out of ex istence. “Their sins and their Iniquities will I remember no more." From other tragedies men have corne away exhausted and nervous and sleepless, but there is one tragedy that soothes and calms and saves. Calvary was the stage, on which it w;ts enacted, the curtain of tho night fall ing at midnoon was the drop scene, the thunder of falling rocks the orchestra, angels in the gulb-ries and devils In the pit the Spectators, the tragedy a crucifixion. “It Is Christ that died." Oh. triumphant thought! If you go through the picture gallery of Versailles, you will find a great change there. I said to a friend who had been through those galleries, “Are they as they were before tho French war?" and I wm told there was a great change there ; that all that multitude of pictures which represented Napoleonic triumphs had been taken away and in the frames were other pictures rep resentative of German sueews and victory. Oh, that all the scenes of Satanic triumph in our world might be blotted out, and that the whole world might be a picture gallery representing the triumphant Jesus! Down with tho monarchy of transgression! Up with tho monarchy of our King ! Hail! Jesus, hail' But I must givo you tho second cause of Paul’s exhilaration. If Christ had staid in that grave, wo never would have gotten out of it. The grave would have been dark and dismal as the conciergerio during the reign of terror, where the carts came up only to take the victims out to the scaffold. I do not wonder that tho ancients tried by em balmment of the body to resist the dissolution of death. Tho gravo is tho darkost, deepest, ghostli est chasm that waq.ovor opened if there bt no light from the rekurreotlOnthrono stream 4 ing Intd it, but Ollifiak Ptaid in tho tdmb aii Friday a^ht aild Itireatuhlay; all Bothnia* night and <L part of Sunday morn ng. H« staid so long In tho tomb that Ho might fit It for us when we go there. Ho tarrlod two whole nights In tho gravo, so that He saw how important It was to have plenty ot light, aud Ho has flooded it with His own glory. It is onrly Sunday morning, and we start up to find the gravo <?f Christ. Wo find the morning sun gliding the dew, and the shrubs are sweet as tho foot crushes them. Wlmt n beautiful plnco to bq burled in! Wondei they did not treat Christ as well when He was alive as they dd hevV that ifo is dead. UtVo the military salute lo tho soldiers who stand guarding tho dead. But nark to the crash—on earthquako! Thesoldlers fall bank as though they were dead, and the stone at the door of Christ’s tomb spins down the hill, flung by tho arm of an angel. Come fort hi O Jehus, front tile darkness Into tho sunlight I Come forth and breathe tho perfume of Joseph’s garden. Christ comes forth m Hunt, and ns Ho steps out of the excavation of the rock I look down into tho excavation, and iu the dis tance 1 see others earning hand iu hand and troop after troop, and 1 Had it is a long pro- ecssion of the prerimu dead. Among them are our owfl loved, ones father, mother, brother, sister, eompfthion, children, coming Up out of tho excavation of the rock until Ihe lost one has Htppped mlt into the light, and I am bowlldeficll, and I cannot under- riailil tho econo Until 1 see Christ w’ave Ilia itand ovei* the advancing procession from «u*» took add heat Htni uiflrl “I am the resur rection and tho life, lie who belloveth in Mo. though he wore dead, yet shall ho live." And then I notice Iha^ the long dirge of tho world’s woo suddenly si ops at t ho arehan gellc shout of “Como forth !‘ Oh, my friends, U Christ hnd not broken out of tho gravo you and I would never come out of It! It would have been another case of Charlotte Corday. attempting to slay a tyrant, herself slain. It would have been another cuse of John Brown attempt ing to free the slaved, himself hung. It would have been Death and Christ in a grapple and Death the victor. The black flag would have floated on all tho graves and mausoleums ol tho dead, and hell Would havo conquered the foroofl of heaven and captured tho ram- partH of God, and satan would have come lo coronation In the palaces of heaven, and I tvould have been devils on tho throne and sons of God in the dungeon. No I! jio ! no ! When that stone was rolled from the door of Christ’s grave, it was hurled with such a force that it crashed in all the grave doors of Christendom, and now the tomb is only a bower where God’s children lake a siesta, an afternoon nap, to wake np in mighty invigoratlon, “Christ is risen.’’ llallg that lamp ajnong all the tombs of my dead.

If a hero oomo's back from battle, and he takes off his hat or rolls up his b1oo\o and shows you tho scar of a wound gotton at Ball’s Bluff or at South Mountain, you stand in admiration at his heroism and patriotism, hut If Christ should make conspicuous the five wounds gotten on Calvary—that Water loo of all the ages—Ho would display only a small part of Ills wounds. Wounded all over, lot lfim sit at the right hand of God. IIo has a right to sit thoro. By the roquest of God the Father and tho unanimous suffrago of all heaven let Him sit there. In tUo grand re view whnh tho redeemed pass by in cohorts of splendor they will look at Him and shout “Victory j" • The oldest inhabitant ol heaven never saw a grander day than tho one when Christ took His place on the right hand ol God. Hosan na ! With Ups of oiay I may not appropriate- Iv utter It. but let tho nmrt’vrs under tho Altai throw tho cry to the elders before tho throne ami they can toss it to the choir on the se\ ol. gloss until all heaven shall lift it—some on point of scepter, and some on string of harp, and some on the tip of tho green branches. Hosanna! hosanna! A,//jurth cause of Paul’s ,exhlliratlon After a clergyman had preached a sermon'ln regard to tho glories of heaven ami the splendors of tho scene an aged woman said, “If all that is to go on in heaven, I don’t know what will become of my poor head." Oh, ipy friends, there will bo so many things going on In heaven I have sometimes won derod if the Lord would not forget you and etn ! Perhaps Paul said sometimes : “I won ler God does not forget mo..down here in An tioch; and In the prison,. iuul in tlp> ship-. wreck. There are so many sailors, so many wayfarers, so many prisoners, so many heart broken men," says Paul, “perhaps God may forget me. And then 1 am so vile a sinner. How I whipped those Christians ! With wlmt vengeance I mounted that cavalry horse and dashed up to Damascus! Oh, it will take « mighty attorney to plead my enuso and gel mo free.” But just at that moment there came in upon Paul’s soul somethingraightioi than tho surges that dashed his Hhlp ink Mcllta, swifter than the horse he rode to Damascus. Jt was the swift and overwhelm ing thought of Christ’s intercession. My friends, wo must 1 hare an advocate. A poor lawyer is worse than no lawyer at all. We must have one who Is able successfully to present our cause before Go l. Wnere is Ho? Who is He? There is only one ad vocate In all the universe that can pluad our cause in the last judgment, that can plea l our cause before God in the great tribunal. Sometimes in earthly courts attorneys have specialties, nnd one man succeeds bet tor in patent eases, another iu insuranee eases, another in criminal cooes, another in land eases, another in will eases, and bis success generally depends upon his sticking to that specialty. I havo to toll you that Christ can do many things, but it seems to me that His specialty Is to fake the bad easo of tiio sinner and plead it before Go 1 until Ho gets eternal acquittal. Oh, we must have Him for our advocate. But what plea can Ho make? Hornetimes an attorney in court will plead the innocence of the prisoner That would bo Inappropriate for us. We are all guilty ! guilty ! Unclean ! unclean! Christ, our advocate, will not plead our innocence. Sometimes the attor ney in court trios to prove an alibi. He says : “This prisoner was not at tho scene. Ho was in some other place at the time." Bach a plea will not do in our case. Tho Lord found us in all our sins nnd in tho very place of our iniquity. It Is Impossible to prove an alibi. Hometlmes an attorney will plead the insanity of the prisoner and say ho is irresponsible on that account. That plea will never do in our case We sinned against light, against knowledge, against tho dictates of our own consciences. We know what wo were doing. What, then, shall the plea be? The plea for dill* eternal deliverance will ho Christ's own martyrdom; He will say “Look at all these wounds. By ail these bufferings I demand tho rescue of this mat! from sin and death nnd hell. Constable^ knock off the shackles—let the prisoner gj* free.” “Who in ho that eondenmeth I It Is Ohrlst that died; yea; rather that is risen agalii| wild 1A eveii at the’ right hand pf God, Who alsonmketli Intercession for us.” But why all this gladness on tho faced 61 theBO sons and daughters of tho Lord Al mighty? 1 know what you aro thinking of. A Saviour dead ;a Saviour risen ; a Saviour oxaltod ; a Saviour interceding. “What," say you, “la all that for me?’ All, all! Never loft mo hear you complaining about anything again. With yotlr pardoned slu behind you, and a successful Christ pleading nbovo you, and a glorious heaven before you, how can you ho despondent about any thing? “But," says tomo man in the audience,“all that is very god 1 mid very true for those who are inside tho kingdom, but hoW about thoso of us who are outsider’ Then 1 suy, Como into the kingdom, come out of the prison house into the glorious sunlight of God’s mercy and pardon, and come now. It was iu the lust day of the reign of terror —tho year 1708. Hundreds and thousands had perished under the French guillotine. Franco groaned with the tyrannies of Robes pierre and the Jacobino (Mill*. Tho last group of mifferere had had their locks shorn by MonehOtte, the prison barber, so that thoned; might be bare to tho keen knife of tho guillo tine. The carts came up lo the prison, the poor Wretches were placed In the carts an 1 driven Off toward the scaffold, but while they were going toward the scaffold thoro Was an out cry hi tin* street, and thou the shock of lire- arms, and then tin* cry . “Robespierre lm* tailed!

But that very night these monsters of per soeution wen* seized, and Robespierre perished under the very guillotine that hf had reared for others, all France clapping their hands with joy as his head rolled inU tho executioner's basket. Thou tin* axes ol tho oxaltod populace were hoard pounding against tin* gates of tin* prison, and tin* pool prisoners walked out free. My friends, sit is the worst of all Robosplorres.

At this Henson of the year too much attention cannot ho paid to the caro of he little ones, who are so susceptible to !lio pernicious influences of hot and ■’muggy” weather, says Dr. J. F. Whit* myer, in tho New York World. Tho necessity for such attention becomes |uito apparent when ouo considers the fact that ot all fatal alTections occurring luring tho first year of life nearly forty per cent, nit* diseases of tho digestive organs, wlplo about twenty per cent, are liseasos of the organs of respiration. Of the first mentioned, summor complaint md cholera infantum constitute tho great majority of cases. Tho • au^es of summer complaints can Invariably be traced to one or two fac tors atmospheric or dietetic. When caused by tho atmosphere it is due to the large percentage of moisture which it contains. This prevents tho proper evaporation of the perspiration lru.ii tho skin, which in turn causes n sour stomach and the usual consequences so familiar to mothers who live in a densely populated neighborhood. With proper precautions many eases of sum mer complaint could be prevented. During Um hot weather very young children should bo bathed night and morning and sponged several times a day with water at a temperature of about ninety degrees. The cooling elleot of ihii seems to be greater and more lasting t han when cold water is used. • Uy dis solving a small quantity of baking soda in tho water prickly heat, which is a great source of annoyance to tho little ones, can usually be prevented. A hath thermometer should always be us ••), as the temperat ure of the wuter cannot bo actually determined with the hand. When possiblo children under two years of age should bo sent to the coun try and kept there until October. Many of the “dietetic” cases can be pre vented by the observance of such simple precautions as regularity in time and quantity of each feeding. Nursing mothers should avoid such articles of diet as crabs, lobster, clams and codlislf, as they arc. frequently the cause of hives. Under no circumstances should nurs ing children be weaned during the hot summer mouths, as it renders them liable to an attack of summer complaint, which iu such eases is always very serious. A fact that is seldom thought of by many mothers is that a child can he thirsty without necessarily being hungry at tho same time. They therefore cumpel it to eat in order to satisfy Us thir:;ft. An oc casional drink of water instead of food will do much towards preventing an at tack of the much-dreaded summer com plaint. When there is the least ground for supposing that the water is contamin ated with disease germs, or when im pure, it should be thoroughly boiled be fore using. When a child is taken with an attack of summer complaint aud a doctor is not at hand, a dose of castor oil should bo given at once and followed in two or three hours by a teaspoon fill of compound clmlk mixture, which dose may be re peated every hour or two until tho symp toms cease. unK or tnc row novel mens tnat nave come to light as the result of the recent advertisement for plans for a submarine naval boat involves the construction ot a cruft that can be sunk by admitting a limited quantity of water, and will then run around on the bottom of tho ocean on wheels. The inventor thinks that his boat can move more directly in a straight path than a boat subject to deflection by currents and waves, and therefore claims for her tho ability to pick her position with accuracy beneath tho iron clad she wishes to destroy. He has made provision for reaching the surface when desired by means of a set of pumps to expel the water admitted to the hull. CHILDREN’S COLUMN. l.ITTI.X BIBTKRS.

Among the incidents of jokes played by animals upon one another cited by a writer ou the animal sense of humor, in the London Spectator, is that of a jackdaw, which, whenever it found its setter dog companions asleep, would ■teal to them and pull at tho fluffy tas sels of hair between their toes—where tin* animal was more sensitive thau in any other hairy parts of its body—un pleasantly waking them up. A cat expressed its dislike of % pea cock by jumping through its spread out tail when the bird was displaying its beauty and exhibiting its own vanity, I to tho great discomfiture of the fowl. Tho writer’s dog, which was accustom ed to hunting rabbits, showed ita dis pleasure when tho master had shot a bullfinch by going into the hedge, find ing a rabbit and bringing it to him. Another dog, which knew tuiqe ducks and that they were not hunted, but had no acquaintance with the wild ones, was much disgusted when its master shot a teal, believing he lmd made a mistake, and would have nothing to do with tho game.

It had an odd zigzag motion and in all the fivo yearn of her life ltobjo had never seen anything liko it, She watched it intently, wondering if grandma had over noon . one..like it.
