■pIJ.TAL3IAGE*S SER3IOX Krjje Eminent Divine’s Sunday I Discourse. Tlie Chariot of Trlutiipli-Uflii-- ■ jon Represents Life, Not the Grave— ■ advice About Physical Health and a H I'reseription For Prolonging Life. K [Copyright, Louis Kfupscti, 18? p.; lif ashing ro.v, D. C.—ln this discourse ■nr Tahnage gives prescriptions for the ■ ciolongatiou of life and preaches the gos- ILj of physical health. The text is Psalms I Lj,. 16, “With long life will I satisfy him.” ■ Through the mistake of its friends relig- Ijon has been chiefly associated with sick ■ ], e ds and graveyards. The whole subject Ito many people is odorous with chlorine I and carbolic acid. There are people who I c anuot pronounce the word religion with- I out liearing in it the clipping chisel of the I tombstone cutter. It is high time that I tiiis thing were changed and that religion, I instead of being represented as a hearse to I carry out tlie dead, should be represented I as a chariot in which the living are to I triumph. F.eligiOD, so far from subtracting from one’s vitality, is a glorious addition. It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for the eyes, good for the ears, g-ood for the spleen, good forthe digestion, good for the nerves, good forthe muscles. When David in another part of the psalm prays that re ligion may be dominant, he does’not speak of it as a mild sickness or an emanciatiou or an attack of moral and spiritual cramp. He speaks of it as “the saving health of all nations,” while God in the text promises longevity to the pious, saying, “With long life will I satisfy him.” The faet is that men and women die too soon. It is high time that religion joined the hand of medi cal science in attempting to improve human longevity. Adam lived S3O years. Methuse lah lived 959 years. As late in the historv of the world as Vespasian there were at one time in his empire forty-live people ISS years old. So far dowu as the sixteenth century Peter Zartan died at ISS years of age. Ido not say that religion will ever take the race back to antediluvian longe vity, but I do say the length of life will be increased. It is said in Isaiah, “The child shall die a hundred years old.” Now, if, according {o Scripture, the child is to be a hundred years old, may not the men aud women reaeii to 300 and 400 and 500? The fact is that, we are mere dwarfs aud skeletons compared with some of the generations that are to come. Take the African race. They'have been under bondage for centur ies. Givo them a chance, and they de velop a Frederick Douglass cr a Toussamt L’Ouverture. And, if the white race shr.lt be brought from under the serfdom of sin, what shall be the body, what shall be the soul? Religion has only just touched our worijl. Give it full power for a few cen turies, and who can tell what will be the strength cf man and the beauty of woman and the longevity of all? My design to show that practical religion is the friend of long life. I prove it, iirst, from the fact that it makes the care of our health a positive Christian duty. Whether tve Shall keep early or late hours, whether we shall take food digestible or indigesti ble, whether there shall bo thorough or in complete mastication, are questions very often deferred to the realm of whimsicality. But the Christian man lifts this whole problem of health into the accountable and the divine. He says, “God has given me this body, and He has called it the temple of the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars, or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a God defying sacrilege.” He sees God’s caligraphy in every page, anatomical and physiological. He says, “God has given me a wonderful body for noble purposes”—that arm with thirtytwo curious bones wielded by forty-six curious muscles and ail under the brain’s teleg raphy, 350 pounds of blood rushing through the heart every hour, the heart in twenty four hours beating 100,000 times, during the twenty-four hours the luug3 taking iu fifty-seven hogshead of air, and all this mechanism not more mighty than delicate and easily disturbed and demolished. The Christian man says to himself, “If I hurt my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt any of my physical faculties, I insult God and call for dire retribution.” Why did God ted the Levites not to offer to Him in sacrifice animals imperfect and diseased? He meant to tell us iu all the ages that we are to offer to God our very best physical condition, and a man who through irregu lar or gluttonous eating ruins ills health is not offering to God such a sacrifice. Why did I’aul write for his cloak at Troas? Why should such a great man as Paul be anx ious about a thing so insignificant as an overcoat? It was because he knew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not he worth half as much to God and the church as with respiration easy and foot free. An intelligent Christian man would con sider it an absurdity to kneeiclownat night and pray and ask God’s protection while at the same time he kept the windows of his bedroom tight shut against fresh air. He would just as soon think of going out on the bridge between New York and Brooklyn, leaping off and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as you refer this whole subject of physical health to the realm of whimsical ity or to the pastry cook, or to the butcher or to the baker or to the apothecary or to the clothier you are not acting like a Christian. Take care of all your physical forces —nervous, muscular, hone, brain, cellular tissue—for all you must be brought to judgment. Smoking your nervous sys tem into fidgets, burning out the coating of your stomach with wine logwooded and strychnined, walking with thin shoes to make your feet look delicate, pinched at the waist until you aro nigh out in two and neither part worth anything,groaning about sick headache and palpitation of tins heart, which you think came from God, when they came from your own folly! What right has any man or womau to de face the temple of the Holy Ghost? What is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of the soul. What is the eye? It is the ob servatory God constructed, its telescope sweeping the heavens. What is the hand? An instrument so wonderful that, when the Earl of Bridgewater bequeathed in ids will *40,C00 for treatises to bo written ou the wisdom, power and goodness of God, Sir Charles Bell, the great English anatomist and surgeOD, found his greatest i lustration in the construction of the human hand, devoting his whole book to that subject. So wonderful are tuese bodies that God names His own attributes after niffereut parts of them. His omnis cience—it is God’s eye; His omni presence —it is God’s ear; His omnipotence —it is God’s arm; the upholstery of the midright heavens—it is tiie work of God’s finger'-; his life-giving power—it is tiie breath of the Almighty; his dominion— “the government shall be upoa his shoul der.” A body so divinely honored and eo di vinely constructed, let us be careful not to abuse it. When it becomes a Christian duty to take care of our health, is not the whole tendency toward longevity? If I toss my watch about recklessly and drop it on the pavement and wird it up any time of day or night I happen to think of it and often let it run down, while you are care ful with your watch and never abuse it and wind it up just at the same hour every night and put it ia a place where it will not suffer from the viol err; changes of at mosphere,which wateii wiii last the longer? Common sense answers. Now, the human body is God’s watch. You see the hands of tjie watch, you see tiie face of the watch; but, the beating of the heart is the ticking of the watch. Be do not let it rundown. Again, 1 remark religion In tin: old ’■V ,' . 'V j n|l- ’V j .

Now religion is a protest against a.’SS^B tions of any kind. ijH “But,’' you say, “professors of have fallen, professors of religion have®? drunk, professors of religion nave misH propnated trust funds, professors of reiflß lon have absconded.” Yes, but tbev threw away their religion before they dii their morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer, bound for Liverpool, in mid- Atlantic jumps overboard and is drowned is that anything against the White Star line s capacity to take the man across the ocean? And if a mau jumps over the gun wii6 of his religion and down never to rise, is that any reason for your believ ing that religion has no capacity to talrtT the man clear through? Iu the one case if he had kept to the steamer, his body would have been saved; in the other case if he bad kept to his religion, his morals would have tieeu saved. There arc aged people who would have been dead twenty-five years ago but for the defenses and the equipoise of religion. You have no more natural resistance than hundreds of people who Ho in the ceme teries, to-day slam by their own vices. The doctors made their case as kind and pleasant as they could, aud it was called congestion of the brain or something else, but the snakes and the blue flies that seemed to crawl over the pillow in thesight of the delirious patient showed what was the matter with him. You, the aged Christian man, walked along by that un happy one until you came to the golden pillar of a Christian life. You went to the right; he went to the left. That is all the difference between you. If this religion is a protest against all forms of dissipation, then it is an illustrious friend of longevity. “With long life will I satisfy him.” Again, religion is a friend of longevity in tue faet that it takas the worry out of our temporalities. It is not work that kills men; it is worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian, he makes over to God not only his affections, but his family, his business, his reputation, his body, his inind, his soul, everything. Industrious he will be, but never worrying, because God is managing his affairs. How can he worry about business when in answer to his pray ers God tells him when to buy aud when to •ell? Anti it ho gain, that is best, and if he lose, that is best. Suppose you had a supernatural neigh bor who came in and said: “Sir, I want you to call on me in every exigency. lam your fast friend. I eould full back on £20,- 000,000. I can foresee a panic ten years. I hold the controlling stock in thirty of tha best monetary institutions of New York. Whenever you aro in trouble cal! on me, and I will help you. You can have my money, and you can have my influence. Here is my hand in pledge for it.” How much would you worry about business? Why, you would say, “I’ll do the best I can, and then I’ll depend on my friend’s generosity for the rest.” Now, more than that is promised to every Christian business man. God says to him: “I own New York and London and St. Petersburg aud Pekin, and Australia and California are mine. I can foresee a panic a hundred-years. I have all the resources of the universe, and I am your fast friend. When you get in business trouble or any other trouble, call on Me, andl will help. Hero is My hand in pledgo of omnipotent deliverance. How much should that man worry? Not much. What lion will dare to put his paw on that Daniel? Is there not rest in this? Is.there not an eternal vaca tion in this? “Oh,” you say, “here is a taau who asked God lor a blessing in a certain enterprise, and he lost £3OOO in ill Explain that.” I will. Yonder is a factory, and one wheel is going north, aud the other wheel is going south, and one wheel plays laterally aud the other plays vertically. Igo to the manufacturer and I say: “O manufacturer, your machinery is a con tradiction! Wny do you not make all the wheels go one way?” “Weil,” he says, “I made them to go m opposite directions on purpose, and they pro luce the right re sult. You go down stairs and examine the carpets we aro turning cut in this establishment and you will see.” I go down on the other floor, and I see the carpets, and I am obliged to confess that, though the wheels in that factory go iu opposite directions, they turn out a beauti ful result, and while I am standing there looking ut the exquisite fabric ail old Scripture passage comes into my mind, “All things work together for good to them who love God.” Is there not a tonic in that? Is there not longevity in that? Suppose a man is all the time worried about his reputation? One man says he lies, another man says he is stupid, an other says lie is dishonest, and hall a dozen printing establishments attack him, and he is in a great state of excitement and worry and fume and cannot sleep, but religion comes to him and says: “Man, God is on your side. He will take care of your repu tation. If God be for you, who can be against you?” How much should that mau worry about his reputation? Not much. If that broker who some years ago in Wall street, after he had lost money, sat down and wrote a farewell letter to his wife be fore he blew his brains out —if, instead of taking out of his pocket a pistol, he had taken out a well read New Testament, there would have been one le-s suicide. O nervous and feverish people of tho world, try this almighty sedative! You will live twenty-five years longer under its soothing power. It is not chloral that you want or morphine that you want. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ. “With long life wili I satisfy him.” Again, practical religion is a friend of longevity in the fact tiiat it removes all cor roding care about a future existence. Every man wants to know what is to lie. Before I had this matter settle-1 with refer ence to my future existence the question almost worried me into ruined health. The anxieties men have upon this subject put together would make a martyrdom. This is a state of awful unhealthiness. There are people who fret themselves to death for fear of dying. I want to take the strain off your nerves and the de pression off your soul, and I make two or three experiments. ’Experi ment first: When you go out of this world, it does not make any difference whether you hnve been good or had, whether you believed truth or error, you will go straight to glory. “Impossib e,” you say. “sly common sense as well as my religion teaches that the bad and the good cannot live together forever. You give me no comfort in that experiment.” Experiment the second: When you leave this world, you will go into an intermediate state, where you can get converted and prepared for heaven. “Impossible,” you say' “As the tree falletb, so must it lie, and I cannot postpone to an inter mediate state reformation which ought to have been effected in this state.” Experi ment the third: There i3 no future world. When a man dies, that is tho last of him. Do not worry about what you are to do in another state of being. You will not do anything. “Impossible,” you say. “There is something that tells me that death is not the appendix, but the preface to life. There is something that tells me that on this side of tue grave I only get starte.l and that I shall go on forever. My power to think says ‘forever;’ ray affections say ‘forever;’ ray capacity to enjoy or suffer, Jiorever.’” Klin < ■fcr breath bad?

Sometimes an agent may praise his wares so zealously that possible pur chasers are scared away. “l'ou say this is good, strong perfum ery,” said Miss Martha Tibbetts, doubtfully surveying a bottle of green ish liquid, “and I see it’s marked ‘real violet extract,’ and ‘warranted.’ But it’s a present for my niece—if I buy it —supposing it lost its smell before she’d had it a month? I've heard cf folks being cheated that way.” “Madam,” said the agent, “fet me tell you a little story. Last year I sold a bottle of this perfume to n lady whose husband was a little peculiar in his mind; and he took a great distaste to this delicious invigorating odor, so that the lady was obliged to secrete the bot tle in a drawer. “Six months passed, and one day the husband chanced upon the bottle, and in his annoyance, we will say, he threw it from the window, and it broke upon the garden wall. And the lady assured me that three weeks later her husband removed the stones on which the perfume had been spilled, and re placed them with others. I leave you to draw your own conclusions.” “Um!” said Miss Tibbetts. “Well, my niece is married, and I don’t know just what notions her husband may have. I guess I’d better not buy any thing this morning. You see how ’tis, don’t you?” Enormous Fees of Cuban Notaries. One drawback to investment in Cuba is the uncertainty of titles and the ab solute authority exercised by the na tive notaries. According to the old Spanish laws, which to a great extent are yet in vogue, the notaries keep all records of land titles, and from their decisions there is no appeal. The of fice has descended from father to son through many generations, sod, hav ing had tilings so long their own way, the incumbents have grown exceeding ly arrogant, and demand outrageous fees. For tiie copy of a deed S3OO is not considered exorbitant. Not long ago $3,000 actually was paid in Hr vanna for recording a deed.

Clif- notv City Clerk of Salem, then master of a New York vessel sailing to China and Japan, brought home from China a little hen. He named the bird Ivoo-Koo, for the town whence she came. lie presented the hen to his wife, and the bird gradually became a pet of the house, like would lay her eggs lu the house. Captain and Mrs. Entwlsle were in terested in church and missionary work. So Mrs. Entwisle conceived the idea of devoting the proceeds of the eggs and chickens of Koo-Koo to line missionary eayse, and for the sev !hi years little Koo-Koo lived all her tamings wont to convert Chinese heathens, and a good many dollars went that way. The hen became as much of a pet as a cat or dog. She would lay her egg and then go out In to the kitchen and cluck until some one made a search and found the egg: then she would fly up on the win dow sill and peck at the window as a sign that she wished to go out doors. Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was : stuffed and used as an ornament. Mrs. I Entwlsle wrote a very pretty little story, founded on this history of Koo- I ICoo, and sent it out to be read to the children in the far-away land whence came the hen. There it took so well that it was translated into Chinese nnd read to the little Chinese children in their own language. It was the story of a little hen called Koo-Koo, which undertook to support one little Chinese girl that she might be educated. It contained an account of a meeting of the children cf Koo-Koo, quite a num erous tribe of various ages. ■ After hearing that story read, a Chinese boy painted a picture of the meeting of Koo-Koo and her descend ants to represent a scene described by Mrs. Entwisle. It represents the old hen and three younger ones, with eight or ten very small chicks. The picture is made on a sheet of brown paper, and the hens are almost life size for Chinese hens. It was sent to the mis- sionr.ry headquarters in Boston first, and yesterday was sent down to Mrs. Entwisle, by whom it is highly prized. —Boston Herald. Dewey Celebration.
