Babylon was the paradise of architecture,
and driven out from thence the grandest evi¬
buildings of modern times are only the
dence of her fali The site having been
selected for the city, two million men were
employed in the rearing of her wails and the
building of her works. It was a city trench sixty
miles injcircumference. There was a
all around the city from which the material
for the building of the city had been each digged. side
There were twenty-five gates on
the city; between every two gates a tower <>f
defense springing into the skies: from each
gate on the one side, a street running straight
tho ugh to the corresponding gate on the
other side, so there were fifty streets branch fifteen
miles long. Through the city ran a
of the river Euphrates. This river some
times overflowed its banks, and to keep it
from the ruin of the city a lake was con¬
structed, into which the surplus water of this
river would run during the time of freshets,
and the water was kept in this artificial lake
until time of drought, and then this water
would stream down over the city. At either
end of the bridge spanning the palace Euphrates mile
there half was a palace—the other one palace a
and a around, the seven
and a half miles around.
The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been born
and brought up in the country and in a
mountainous region, and she could not bear
this flat district of Babylon; and so, to please
his wife. Nebuchadnezzar built in the midst
of the city a mountain 400 feet high. This
mountain was built out into terraces sup
ported on arches. On the top of these arches
a layer of fiat stones; on the top of that a
layer of reeds and bituman; on the top of
that two layers of bricks, closely cemented;
■ the top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and
on the top of that the soil placed—the soil so
dee]> that a Lebanon cellar had room to an¬
chor its roots. There were pumps worked by
mighty machinery, fetching up the water
from the Euphrates to this hanging garden,
as it was called, so that there were fountains
spouting Into the sky.
Standing below and looking up in blossom, it must
have seemed as if the clouds were

of a cedar All this Nebuchadnezzar did to
please his wife. Well, she ought to have

that would not please her nothing of
There was in that city also tho temple
Belus, with towers—one tower the eighth of
a mile high, in which there was an observa¬
tory where astronomers talked to the stars.
There was in that temple would an image, just fifty- one

There has been a great deal of cheating
in our country with false weights and nieas
ures aiid balances, and the government, to
change that state of things, appointed com¬
missioners whose business it was to stamp
weights and measures and balance*, corrected. and a
great deal of the wrong has been
But still, after all, there is no such thing as a
perfect balance on earth, The chain may
break in or some way of the the equipoise metal may may be be clipped, a little
or some
disturbed.
You cannot always depend upon earthly
balances. A pound is not always a pound,
and you pay for one thing and you get an¬
other; but in tho balance which is suspended and
to the throne right, of God, a pound is is a pound, and
right is and wrong wrong, a
soul is a soul, and eternity is eternity. God
has a perfect bushel an; l a perfect merchants peck weigh aud a
perfect goods gallon. in the When then the Lord
their wrong way, the
weighs the goods again. If from imper¬
fect measure the merchant pours out what
pretends to be a gallon of oil and there is less
than a gallon, God knows it, and He calls
upon His recording angel to mark it So
much wanting in that measure of oil. ” The
farmer comes in from the country, He has
apples to sell . He has an imperfect measure.
He pours out the apples from this imperfect
measure. God recognizes it. He says to the
recording angel Mark down su many
pies too few—an imperfect measure.”
may cheat ourselves and we may cheat the
world, but we cannot cheat God, and in
the great day of judgment it will be found
out that what wo learned in boyhood weight at
school is correct—that twenty-h undred
make ft ton. and one hundred and twenty
solid feet make a cord of wood. No moro,
no less And a religion which does not take
hold of this life as well as the life to come is
no religiqn at all. But, mv friends, that is
not the kind of balances I am to speak of
to-day: that is not the kind of weights aud
measures. 1 am to speak of that kind of bal¬
ances which can weigh principles, weigh and
churches, weigh men, weigh nations,
weigh worlds. “What!” you say, “is it
table that our world is to be weighed?”. Yes.
Why, you would think if God put on one
side the balances suspended from the throne
the Alps, and the Pyrenees, and the Hima¬
layas, and Mount Washington, and all the
cities of the earth, they would erusii it. No,
no. The time will come when God will sit
down ou the white throne to see the world
weighed, and ou one side will be the world’s
opportunities, and on the other side the
world's sins. Down wi ii go the sins and away
will go the opportunities, and God will say to
the messengers with the torch: “Burn that
world i Weighed and found wanting!”
God will weigh churches. He takes a great
church. That great church, according He to the
worldly estimate, must be weighed. minister puts
it on one side the balances, and the

them on one side the balances On the othei
side of that He jmte what that church
ought to be. what its consecration ought to
be. what its sympathy for the poor ought to
be, what its devotion to ail good ought to be.
That is on one side. That side comes down,

balances, I say: “What, is that bundle you

and charity, and generosity, aud kindliness
generally.” “O my brother! we cannot
weigh that; we are going to weigh you—

moralist. Paid your debts?” you
say, “paid all my debts.” “Have you acted in
an upright way in the community?'’ “Yes. •

before you get out of this scale I want to ask*
you two or three questions “Have your
thoughts always been right?” “No,” you say
“no.” Put down one mark. “ Have you loved
the Lord with all your heart, and souk and
mind, and strength?” “No,” you say Make
another mark. Come, now, be frank and
confess that in ten thousand things you
have come short—have you not?
“ Yes.” Make ten thousand marks
Come now, get me a book large enough to
make the record of that moralist's deficits.
My brother, stand in the scales, do not fly
away from them. 1 put on your side tin*
scales all the good deeds you ever did, all the
kind words you ever uttered; but on the

We go a\\ av off, or back into history, to
get some illustration by which we may set
forth what Christ has done for us. We need
not go so far. I saw a vehicle behind a run
away horse dashing through the street, a
mother and her two children in the carriage.
The horse dashed along as though to hurl
them to death, and a mounted policeman
with a shout clearing the way, and the horse
at full run, attempted to seize those runaway
horses and to save a calamity, when liis own
horse fell and rolled over him. He was picked
up half dead. Why were our sympathies so
stirred? Because he was badly hurt, and
hurt for others. But I tell you to-day of
how Christ, the Son of God, on the blood red
horse of sacrifice, came for our rescue, and
rode down the sky and rode unto death for
our rescue. Are not your hearts touched?
That was a sacrifice for you and for me. O
Thou who didst ride on the red horse of sacri¬
fice! come this hour ami ride through this

A HERMIT S LOVE STORY.
He Lost His Elide Because He Ling¬

On the Winnebago Indian reserva¬
tion, about twenty miles down the Mis¬

hermit, whose history is of much in¬
terest. His name is Charles Khos, and
he is forty-nine \etrsof age. He lives
alone, not in a hut or 1 ave, but in a bole
in the ground, having dug an apart¬
ment in the earth about sixteen feet
square and ten feet deep from the sur¬
face to the floor. This is entered by a
trap door which is only about two foot
square, and which can not bo seen until
a person is oh'So to it. His habitation
is in a rough, wooded gully running
back among the clay bluffs ol the Mis¬
souri River, and is very seldom visited

our King could any moment overthrow and
liamsh Satan forever from this earth, and
He Win do it in due time, but He is content
to wait patiently, and little permit His people and
His earth to groan a longer.
5. “David’s heart smote him because he
had cut off Saul's skirt Iwen for assorting
this slight token of his power, he feels con¬
demned. His enemy was off liis guard and
unable to defend himself, and David would
rather meet an enemy, if he must be met, as
he met the lion and the beat* and Goliath,
in open fight, that the power of God might be
manifest. There is nothing of the Spirit will of
Christ in secret light. sayings or doings which
not bear the
K. The Lord forbid that I should do this
thing unto my Master, the Lord's anointed.”
Here is another view of the case; Saul was
not acting like the anointed of the Lord
should act. his life did not testify in that di¬
rection. but as to his office he was “the
anointed of the Lord,” aud therefore respon¬
sible to God to act as such; and if he failed
it was for the Lord and not for David to deal
with him. Two If great practical thoughts God are
presented here: we are children of by
faith of Christ Jesus, then we have received
the Spirit, and are anointed kings and pr tests
unto God, and are responsible every da y to
walk worthy of though our High Calling; and and on
the other hand, failure t veil sm
may be manifest in the lives of - anointed
of the Lord, it is for their Lor nd not for
their fellows to judge and chasten them.
7 . “So David stayed his servants with
these words; * * * Saul rose tip out of

very much bv kind words and the manifesto
tion of a Christ-like spirit to hinder others
from speaking against or touching in any
way the anointed of the Lord. We should
remember that it is written, Ho that touch
eth you toueheth the apple of His eye.”
(Zech. ii.. S.) Every redeemed one, however
full of failure, is dear to God; even Israel, in
all her sins, He called “the dearly beloved of
His soul.” (Jer. xii., 7 .) Saul, rising up
and going his way, unconscious of the loss of
a part of his robe, reminds us that when we
are not in the Lord’s way we may lose many
things and yet be unconscious of it.
8. “ David * * * cried after Saul, say
ing, ‘My Lord the King,’ * * * and stooped
with his face to the earth.” Notwithstanding
David's fears and ofttimes questionable con
‘M fc, here is a truly humble and forgiving
spirit Whatever were his sins, his heart
was in the main truth right with that God, which and his him fail

therefore, such unrest, while all the while

David? And Saul lifted up his voice and
wept.” There are many such words and
tears nowadays, but they do not amount to
anything. That they did not mean much
from Saul at this time is evident from chap,
xxvi, where we see him as hotly as ever pur¬
suing David to take his life. Saul had good
occasion to weep, lor h<* had sinned greatly

d,in.s are now In the market, the only

< ration is that used at the office of the
New i« ik Tribune. Formerly, ninety
compositors were required to set the type
for the several editions of that paper,
but with the use of the machine, only
thirty operators are employed. The ma
chine does not set ordinary type, but
each line of reading matter is molded,
and, after being once used, it goes !>ac:<
into the melting pot. The mechanical
type setter is yet an experiment,
inventors, have spent their lives
on the complex arrangement. Type-set¬
ting is done at the present time with ex¬
actly the same method r.s it was done
tbicc score years ago, and in this branch
of the printer’s art, not a step of ad
vanceraent has been made. It seem- that
for this particular work nothing will
supplant human intelligence.
