DR. TAI,MAGE’S SERMON The Eminent Divine’s Sunday Discourse. Subject: “Slgniflcunce of the Flowers”— They Bear Messages of Cheer to the Heart-sick and Despairing—Their Ap. propriateness at Obsequies. Text: “If then God so clothe tho grass which is to-day in the field, and to-mor row is cast into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little lnlth?”— Luke xli., 28. The lily is the queen of Bible flowers The rose may have disputed her throne in modern times and won it, but the rose orig jnally had only five petals. It was under the long continued und intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its pres ent beauty. In the Bible train, cassia and hyssop and frankincense UDd myrrh and spikenard the lily. nnd Fourteen camphor times and in the the rose Bible fol Jow is the lily mentioned; only twice the rose, The rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in 1 he time of Solomon, in the time of Christ Cmsar had his throne on the hills. The lily bad her throne in the valley. In the great est sermon that was ever preached there was only one flower, and that a lily. The Bedford dreamer, John Bunyan, entered the house of the interpreter, and was shown a cluster of flowers und was told to “consider the lilies.” We may study or reject other sciencos at our option-it is so with astronomy, it is »o with chemistry, it is so with juris prudence, it is so with physiology, it is so with geology—but the science of botany Christ commands ns to study 'when He says, “Consider the lilies.” Measurethem from root to tip of petal. Inhale their breath. Notice the gracefulness of their poise. Hear the wtisper of the white Jips of the Eastern and the red lips of the American lily Belongiug to this royal family of lilies are the lily of the Nile, the Japan lily, the Lady ‘Washington of the Sierras.the Golden band lily, the Giant lily of Nepaul, the Turk’s cap lily, the African lily from the Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have the royal blood in their veins. But I take the lilies of my text this morning as typical of all flowers, nnd their voice of floral beauty seems to address us, saying, “Con aider the lilies, consider the azaleas, con aider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums, consider the ivies, consider the hyacinths, consider the heliotropes, consider the oleanders.” With deferential nnd grateful and intelligent and worshipful souls con sidertliem. Not witli insipid sentimental Ism or with sophomoric vaporing, but for grand and practical and everyday and, if need be, homely uses, consider them. The flowers are tbo angels of the grass, They all have voices. When the clouds speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds speak they scream, when the cataracts speak they roar, but when the flowers speak they always whisper. Island here to interpret their message. What have you to say to us, O ye angels of the grass? This morning I mean to discuss whut flow ers are good for. That is my subject, “What are flowers "ood for?” I remark, in the first place, they are good for lessons of God’s providential care, That was Christ’s first tliought. All these flowers seem to address us to-dav, saying, “God will give you apparel and food.” We have no wheel with which to spin, no loom with which to weave, no sickle with which to harvest, no well sweep with which to draw water, but God slacks our thirst witli the dew, and God feeds us with the bread of the sunshine, and God has appareled us with more than Solomonic regality. We are prophetesses of adequato wardrobe. “If God so clothed us, the grass of thefleld, will He not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?” Men and women of worldly anxieties, take this message home with you. How long has God taken care of you? Quarter of the journey of life? Half the journey of.iife? of life? Three-quarters the jour ney Can you not trust Him therest of the way? God does not promise you anything like that which the Roman cm peror had on his table at vast expense—500 nightingales’tongues—but He has promised to take care of you. He has promised yon the necessities, not the luxuries—bread, not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes the grass of the field, will He not provide for you, His living and immortal children? Ho will No wonder Martin Luther always had a flower on his writing desk for inspiration! floor Through the cracks of the Picciola. prison Mungo a flower grew up to cheer Park, bis life the great traveler and He explorer, sank down had saved by a flower. tin the.desert to die; but, seeing a fl. 9 W p r near hy, it suggested God’s mereiiul care, i and he got up with new courage nnd I j traveled on to safety. I said tiie flowers are the angels of tho grass. Iaddnowthey are evangels ot the sky. bvjf flSYvera you good ask for? me the I respond, question, What they are are good for tbe bridal day. The bride must have them on her brow, and she must have them in her hand. The marriage altar must be covered with them. A wed ding without flowers would be as inappro priate as a wedding without music. At suchatime they are for congratulation and prophecies of good. So much of the pathway of life is covered up with thorns, we ought to cover the beginning with or ange blossoms. Flowers are appropriate on such oc casions, for in ninety-nine out ot 100 cases It is the very best thing that could have happened. The world may criticise and lift pronounce it an inaptitude and may its eyebrows in surprise and think it might suggest something better, but the God who sees the twenty, forty, fifty years of wedded life before they have begun ar ranges for the best. So that flowers, in all cases, are appropriate for the 7 marriage day. The divergences of disposi tion will become correspondences, reck lessness will become prudence, frivolity will be turned into practicality. There has been many an aged widowed soul who had a carefully locked bu reau and in tho bureau a box and in tho box a folded paper and in the folded discolored, paper a half blown rose, slightly fragrant, there carefully pressed. She put the it forty or fifty Tj’ears ago. On she anniversary day of her wedding will go to the bureau, she will lift the box, she will unfold the paper and to her eyes will be exposed the half blown bud, nnd the memories of the past will rush upou her and a tear will drop upon the flower nnd suddenly it is transfigured, and there is a stir in the dust of the anther nnd it rounds out audit is full of life and it begins to tremble in the procession up the church aisle, and the dead music of a half century air, ago comes throbbing through the hands and vanished faces reappear and right ises, are joined and a manly voice prom the “I will, for better or for worse,” and joy wedding march thunders a salvo of at the departing crowd, but a sigh on that nnDiver.-ary fetched day scatters the scene, Under the deep breath the altar, scattered, theflowers, the congratulating groups are and there is nothing left but a trembling which hand holding a faded rosebud, is put into the paper and then into the box and the box carefully placed in the tke bureau, and with a sbRrp. sudden click of lock the scene is over , Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies of flowers on your wedding day be false prophecies! Be blind to each other’s Make the most of each other’s ex Remember the vows, the ring the third linger ot the left hand and the of th' >ftll»lilies If you ask me the question, What «re flowers good for? 1 answer thev good to honor and comfort the The worst gash ever made into tbe side of our poor ! is it is the gash cruel, of the grave. It is so I | so it is so incurable, that it needs something to cover it up. Flowers 1 lij e casket, flowers for the hearse, j for the cemetery. What a contrast 1 between a gravo in a country churchyard, with the fence broken down and the tombstone aslant and the neighboring oattle browsing amid the mullein stalks nnd the Canada thistles, and a June morn ing in Greenwood, the wave Ot roseate bloom rolling to the top o' the mounds and then breaking into foaming crests of white flowers nil uround the billows of dust. It is the difference between sleeping under rags and sleeping under an em broidered blanket. We want old Mortality with his chisel to go through all the grave yards in Christendom, and while he carries a chisel in one hand we wunt old Mortality to have some flower seed In the palm of the other hand. “Oh,” you say, “the dead don’t know; 11 raakes no difference to them.” I'thiuk y° u »re mistaken. There are not so mauy steamers alt there and trains coming to any living heaven y> »s are convoys coming from to earth, and if there be instan taneous and constant communication be tween this world und the better world, do what suppose your departed friends you do with their bodies? w Y ,lad God Phmted “goldenrod” and wild ., flowers in the forest and on the prai where no human eye ever sees them, He planted them there for invisible intelll geneestolookatandadmire.ttndwbenin visible intelligences come to look at the W‘m flowers of the woods and the table ’ ailds ’ will they not make excursion and 8 < L e the flowers which you have planted In afleotionate remembrance of them?

She Didn’t Like it. “I am so proud of you!” With eyes tenderly expressing the fond appreciation and tender love of a devoted husband, John Blurner turned gently and imprinted a kiss upon his wife’s forehead. “Yes, my dear,” he continued, “I feel somewhat conscience stricken when I think of how silent I am, as a rule, about all those qualities of mind and heart which you possess. As I go about among my friends and talk with the brilliant and cultivated women who shine with such splendor, how glad it makes me to think, that you are not as they! Give me the quiet, simple wo man, who is content to stay at home, who lives but for her husband, and who prefers the domesticity of the home circle to the artificiality of so ciety. No one knows better than I do that when you go out you suffer great ly in comparison with other women, whose glamor of intellect blinds the senses. Beauty in women I can ad mire—indeed, I do admire it—and yet, after all, I prefer you. What do I care if you are not beautiful, when I know that you are good? What difference does it make to me if you cannot be bright and witty, no matter how hard you try with others? Hello! what's the matter?” “Don’t you think,” replied Mrs. Blu mer, as she took her handkerchief from her eyes and glared at him with a combined look of sorrow and anger, “that you have said enough?” John Blumer rose from his chair with a despairing gesture and looked out of the window savagely, with a hard, set look on his face. “TiiaEs just like a woman!” he mut tered indignantly to himself. “Give her one word of praise and she turns on you!”—rearson’s Weekly. Humorous Geese. Of barn yard fowls the geese are the most intelligent. It is related of a pair of geese that they used to round up the chickens which strayed in from the neighbors and play pranks with them for the fun of it, says the New York Sun. One day a dozen of a neigh bor’s hen flock came visiting tfnd the geese entertained them. The chickens were corralled in a fence corner, and the geese flapped their wings and hissed, showing great joy when the chickens exhibited fear. Just then the farmer came out and began to feed his flock. Between hen-baiting and eating these geese did not know what to do. They wanted to eat and would begin to eat. Then the chickens T/ould start away. That made the geese so uneasy that they cotild not eat. After a bit the chickens started along the fence toward a little stream of water with eighteen inch high banks. On see ing this the geese stopped eating and went to the stream and swam down it toward the spot for which the hens were headed, and ducked their heads so that the chickens couldn't see them. Arriving at the crossing place the geese jumped into the air with flapping wings and tried to catch one of the chickens, but they were too slow, and the chickens went over the fence like scared crows. If the geese had caught the chicken the feathers would have flown, for the geese delighted in pluck ing the feathers out of a captive. Ho-To-Bac for Ftfty Cent*.

Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim gun, tells an amusing story of an experience with the Sultan of Tur key. The sultan had witnessed a test of the wonderful shooting of the rapid fire arm, and was duly impressed with seeing the small weapon deliver itself of GOO shots a minute without being touched by human hand save the first pull of the trigger. “Wonderful! Wonderful!” he ex claimed in amazement. “I must have some of those arms.” Some time later Mr. Maxim received an order for an expensive pattern of small field gun. He made two, beau tifully 'chased in gold, and.of marvel ous workmanship. What the sultan could want of such expensive outside trappings he did not know, but they were duly sent to Turkey, where they now rest in the royal museum. “Ah! They shoot too well,” the Sul tan is reported to have said when ask ed why they were not used in the field. “They are better where they are.”— New York Times.
