[Copyright, Louis Klopseh, 1899.]
Wabhinotox.D. O.—In this discourse Dr.
Talmnge placates the world’s revenges and
recommends more of tho saccharine and
less of tbe sour in human dispositions; text,
Ephesians iv., 20, "Lot not the sun go down
upou your wrath.”
What a pillow, embroidered of all colors,
bath tbe dying day! The cradle of clouds
from which the sun rises Is beautiful
ODOUgb, but it is surpassed by tho many
colored mausoleum In which at evening It
is Juried.
Sunset among the mountains! It almost
takes one’s breath away to recall the
scene. Tlio long shadows stretching over
the plain make tho glory of the departing
llfNit on tho tiptop foliage crags the andstruck conspicuous. uslaut
through the moro
Snffron nnd gold, purple and crimson com
mingled. All the castles of cloud in con
flagration. Burning Moscows on the sky.
Hanging gardens of roses at their deepest
blush. Banners of vapor, red as If from
carnage. In the battle of the oloments. Tlio
hunter among the Adirondacks and tbe
Swiss villager among tlie Alps know what
is a sunset among tho mountains. After a
storm at sea the down rolling grandeur bnthe into
which tho sun goes to nt night
fall is something to make weird and splen
did dreams out of for a lifetime,' Alexan
der Smith, in liis poem, compares tho sun
set to “tlio barren beach of boll,” but this
wonderful spectacle burnished of nature makes mo
think of the wall of heaven.
Pnul in prison, writing my text, remembers
some of tho gorgeous sunsets among the
mountains of Asia Minor ahd bow he had
often seen the towera of Damasous blaze
in the close of the oriental days, und he
flashes out that memory In the text ifchen
he says, “Let not the sun go down upon
your "wrath.”
Sublime all suggestive duty for people
then nnd people now i Forgiveness the befoTo
sundown! He who never feels throb
of indignation is imbecile. He who can
walk among the injustices of the world In
flicted upon himself und others without
flush of cheek or flash of eye. or agitation
of nature is either in sympathy with wrong
or semi-idiotic. When Ananias, the hign
priest, ordered the constables of tho court
room to .smito Paul on tho mouth, Paul
fired up nnd said, “God shall smite thee,
thou whited wall.” In tho sentence imme
diately before my text Paul commands the
Ephesians, “Be ye angry and sin not.” It
all depends on what you are mad at nnd
bow long the feeling lasts whether anger
is right or wrong. Life is full of exaspera
tions. Saul after David, Suceoth utter
Gideon, Kornli after Moses, tho Pusquins
after Augustus, tjie Pharisees aftqr JChrist,
nnd. every one has had his pursuers, and
we are swindled or beliod or misrepresent
ed or persecuted or in some way wronged,
and tno danger is that healthful indigna
tion shall become baleful spito, nnd that
our feelings settle down into a prolonged
outpouring of temper ourselves, displeasing aud hence to God the
anti ruinous to
important injunction of tho text, “Lot not
tho sun go down upon your wrath.”
Why that limitation to one’s anger?
Why that period of flaming disposition? vapor set What to
punctuate a flaming
has tbe sunset got to do with one s resent
iul emotions? Was Paul it a haphazard senti-
1 ment written by without special
significance? No, no. I think of five
reasons why we should not lot the sun set
before ourTemper. twelve hours is long
First, because
enough to be erdss about any wrong in
flicted upon ijs.- Nothing is so exhausting
to physical health or mental • faculty as a
protracted indulgence of ill humor. • It
racks the Der.vous sysfem. It hurts the
digestion. It heats the blood in brain and
heart until tho whole bodyis first over
heated and then disposition, depressed. Besides that,
it sours the turns one aside
from ills ought legitimate bo work, better expends employed energies and
that to
does harm than it does (
us more our
antagonist. Paul gives us a good,, wide
allowance of time for legitimate denuncia
tion, from G o’clook to 6 o’clock, but says,
“Stop there!” Watch the descending orb
of day, and when it reaches tho horizon
take a reef in your disposition. Unloose
vour feet collar and cool. off. Change tho sub
tlnroll to something delightfully pleasant,
your tight fist und shake hands
with some one. Bank'up the fires at the
cugfew bell. Drive- the growling dog of
enmity back to its kennel. The hours of
this morning will pass.by, nnd the after
noon will arrive, and tbe sun will begin hearth to
set, and, I beg you, on its blazing
throw all your feuds, invectives and
satires.
Again, we ought not to lot the sun go
down on our wrath, because we will sleep
better.if we are at peace with everybody.
Insomnia i,s getting to be one of the most
prevalent of o’clock disorders. How few people
retire at 10 at night and sleep To relieve clear
through to 6 in the morning!
this disorder all narcotics and sedatives
and uiotphine and ehjoral and bromido of
potassium and. cocaine and intoxicants are
used, but nothing is more important than
a quiet spirit if. we would win somnolence.
How is a man going tp sleep when lie is in
mind pursuing ah enemy? With what ner
vous twitch lie will start out of a dream!
That new plan ol cornering his foe will
keep him wide awake wliile the clock
strikes 11,12,1„2. I give you an unfailing
prescription for wakefulness: Spend tho
evening hours rehearsiug your wrongs aud
the best way of aveuglug them. Hold n
convention of friends on this subject in
your parlor or office nt 8 or 8 o’clock.
Close tho evening by wrftlpg a titter letter
expressing your sentiments. Take from
the desk or pigoonholo tho with papers in the
ease to refresh your mind your en
emy’s meanness. Then lie down and wait
for the coming of the day, and it will come
before sleep comes or your sleeD will be
worried quiescence and; if you take the
precaution to He flat on your back, a
frightful nightmare.
Why not put a bound to your animosity?
Why let your foes come into tbo sanctities
of your dormitory? Why let those sland
erers who have already torn yopr reputa
tion to pieces or iujured your business
bend over your midnight pillow and drive
from you one of the greatest blessings that
God can offer—sweet, refreshing, all In
vigorating sleep? Why not fence out sunset? your
enemies’by the golden bars of the
Why not stand behind the barricade of
evening cloud and say to them, “Thus fur
and no farther.” Many a man and many
a woman is having tbe health of body as
well as the health of soul eaten away by a
mulevolept spirit, Ihavaindime of relig
ious awakening had persons night after
night come into the inquiry room and get
no peace of soul. AJte-r a while I - have
bluntly asked them, “la there not somo ono
against whom you have- a hatred that you
are not willing to give up?” After a little
confusion they have slightly whispered,
“Yes’.” Then I have said, “You will never
find peace with God as long as you retain
that virulence.”
The rabbins recount how that Nebuchad
nezzar’s sou had such ft spite against his
father that after he was dead he had liis
father burned to ashes and then put tbe
ashes into four sacks anil tied them to four
eagles’ necks which flew away in domestic opposite
directions. And there are now
antipathies that seem forever to have scat
tered nit parental memories to tho four
winds of heaven. How far tho eagles fly
with those sacred ashes! Tho hour of sun
down makes to that Carlyle, family no practical
suggestion. Thomas in his biog
raphy king of Frederick the Great, says the
old was tbld by the oonfessor he must
be at peace with his enemies if he wanted
to enter beaver. Then ho said to his wife,
the queen, "Wrile to your brother after I
am dead that I forgive him.” RololT, the
confessor, said, "Her majesty had hotter
write king, him "nfterl Immediately.” dead; that “No,” will bo said safer.” the
am
So he let the sun of his earthly existence
go down upon his wrath.
Again, wo ought not to allow the sun to
set before forgiveness takes plaoe, because
we might not llvo to see another day. And
whut If we should he ushered Into tho
presence of our Maker with n grudge upon
our soul? Tho night. majority of people depart
this lifo in the JJetweou 11 o’clook
p. is. and 3 o’oiook a. in. there is some
thing lu tho utmospboro which relaxes tho
grip which tlio body has on tho soul, and
most people enter the next world through
the shadows arranged of this world. Perhaps God
may have it in tlint way so ns to
moke tho contrast the moro glorious. I
have seen sunshluy days In tiffs world that
must iiavo boon almost like tho radiance of
heaven. But as sundown most people leavo tho
earth between and sunrise thoy
quit this world at its darkest, and heaven
always bright, will no the brighter for that
contrast. Out of durkues3 into irradia
tion.
“But,” says somo womnD, “there is a
horrid eroatnro that has so injured me
that rather than make up with her I
would die first.” Well, sister, you may
take your choice, for ouo or tho other it
will bo—your complete pardon of her or
God’s eternal banisumont of you. “But,”
says somo man, “that fellow who cheated
mo out of those good3, or damaged my
business credit, or stnrtod that lie about
me iu tho newspapers, or by bis perfidy
broke up my domestic hnppinoss, forgive
him I cannot, forgive him I will not!”
Well, brother, tako your choice. You will
never be at peace with God till you are at
peace with man. Feeling as you now do,
you would not get so near the harbor’of
heaven ns to see with the lightship. God Better
leave that man the who said:
“Vengeance is Mine. I will repay.” You
muy say: “I will rnako him sweat for that
yet. I will make him squirm. I moan to
pursue him to the death.” But you ure
damaging yourself more than you damage
him, and yon are making heaven for your
own soul an impossibility. be If he will not
be reconciled to you, reconciled to him.
In llvo or six hours it will bo sundown.
The dahlias will bloom ngalost the west
ern sky. Somewhere between this and
that take a shovel and bury the old
quarrel at least six feot doop. “Let not
tho sun go down upon your wrath.”
Again, we ought not to allow tho passage
of the sunset hour before tho dismissal of
all our uffrouts, because wo may associate
the sublimest uction of tbe soul with the
sublimest spectacle in nature. It Is a most
delightsome thing to have our personal
experiences allied with certain subjects.
There is a treo or river bank where God
first ans wered your prayer. You will never
pass that place or think of that place with
out thinking of the glorious communion.
There was somo gate or some room or some
garden wall where you were, affianced with
Uiq companion who has been your chief
jo,’ in life. You never speak of that place
uut with a smile. Some of you have pleas
ant memories connected with the evening
star, or the moon in its first quarter, or
with the sunrise, because you saw it just ns
you were arriving at harbor after a tem
pestuous voyago. Forever and forever.
I admit it is the most difficult of all
graces to practice, and at the start you may
make a complete failure, but keep on in
the attempt to practice it. Shakespeare
wrote ten plays before he reached “Ham
let,” and seventeen plays before he readied
“Merchant of Venice,” and twenty-eight
plays before ho reached “Macbeth.” And
gradually you will come from the easier
graces to the most difficult. Besides that,
it is not a matter of personal determination
so much ns tlio laying hold of the al
mighty arm of God. who will help us to do
anything wo ought to do. Itemomber that
in all personal controversies the one least
to blame will have to take tho first step at
paoifleatiou if it is ever effected. The con
test between AHehines and Aristippus re
sounds through history, but Aristippus,
who was least to blame, wont to jEsclilnes
and said, “Shall we not agree to be friends
before we make ourselves tho laughing
stock of tho whole couutry?” AndiEschlnes
Said, “Thou art a far better man than I,
for I began the quarrel, but thou has beon
the first in healing the breach.” And they
were always friends afterwards. So let
tho one of you that is least to blame take
the first step toward reconciliation. The
one most in the wrong will never take it.
Oh, it makes one feel splendid to be able
by God’s help to praetieo unlimited for
giveness. It Improves one’s body and soul.
My brother, it will make you measure three
or four more Inches around the chest and
improve your respiration so that you can
toko n deeper and longer breath. It im
proves the couateuancej by scattering like God the
gloom aud makes you somewhat
himself. Be is omnipotent, and wo eannot
copy that. He is independent that. of all the
universe,.and wo cannot copy Hois
creative, and we cannot copy that. Ho is
otnniprosont, and we cannot copy that. But
He forgives with a broad sweep all faults,
and all neglects, and nil insults, nnd nil
wrongdoings, and In that we may copy Him
with mighty success. Go harness that sub
lime action of your soul to tbe sunset—tbe
hour when the gate of heaven opens to let
the day pass Into etornities and some of
the glorias escape We talk this about way through the Italian the
brief opening.
sunsets, and sunset amid the Apennines,
and sunset amid tho cordllloras, but I will
tell you how you may see a grander sunset
than wny tnere lover of nature over behold
-e-tbat is, byflinginglntoitall your hatreds
ivud animosities, and let tho horses of fire
trample thfim, and tbe chariots of firs roll
over them, and the spearmen of fire stab
them, and the beach of fire consume them,
and the billows of lire overwhelm them.
Again, we should not let tho stin go down
on our wrath, becanso It is of little im
portance what tho world says of you or
does to you when you have the affluent
God of the sutlset as your provider nn’d
defender. People talk as though it were a
fixed spectacle of nature and always the
same. But no ono over saw two sunsets
alike, and it the world has existed 6000
years there have boen about 2,190,000 sun
sets, each of them os distinct from all the
other pictures In the gallery of the sky as
Titian’s From “Last Supper," Itaphael’s Itubons’ “Transfigura- “Descent
tho Cross,” Michael Angelo’s “Last Judg
tion” and
ment” are distinct from each other. If
that God of such infinite resources that
Ho can put on the wall of the sky each
evening more than the Louvro and Luxem
bourg gnlleriea all in one is my God and
your God, our provider and protector,
What is tbs use of our worrying about any
human antagonism? If wo are misinter
preted, tho God of the many colored sun
set can put tbe right of color western on our heavens action.
If all the garniture tbo
at eVenti.de is hut tho upholstery home, of ono what of
tbo windows of our future
small business for us to bo chasing en
emiesl Let not this Sabbath sun go down
upon your wrath.
And I wish for all of you a beautiful sun -
set to your earthly existence. With somo
of you it bus been a loDg day of trouble,
aud with others of you it will be far from
calm. When the sun rose nt 6 o’clook, it
was tbe morning of youth, nnd a fair day
was prophesied, but by the time tbe noon
day or middle life had come aud tho clock
of your earthly existence had struck twelve
cloud racks gathered and tempest bellowed
in the truck of tempest. But as the even

skies mny brighteu aud the clouds be piled

cohorts come to tako you home. And as
you sink out of stfgat below the horizqn

opal, and on tlio hills in letters of emerald,
“Tby sun shall no more go down, neither

Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and
tbe days of tby mourning shall be ended.”
So shall the sunset of earth become tbe

RACERS IN WINTER QUARTEBS,
Cared lor a« Tbouih Folded Away In Laven
der and Tissue Paper.
“And wliat, Mr. Scott, do you do
with the pretty creatures In winter?”
once askod a dainty damo of the fa
mous Yorkshire trainer, as she patted
tho arching nock of a favorlto $25,000
yearling.
‘‘Fold ’em up in tissue paper and lav
ender ’em, ma’am, so as the moths
can’t get at them,” gruffly replied tho
“Wizard of the North,” who strongly
resented tho unauthorized intrusion of
ladies within the sacred precincts of
the training stables.
Although it is, of course, unnecessary
to explain that the above quoted an
swer Is to be taken literally, it is a
fact, nevertheless, that it contains a
solid substratum of truth. Tho mod
ern race horse is a dainty nnd^elicate
animal, and unremitting cure and at
tention have to bo lavished upon him
at all times. But during the winter
months, owing to the vagaries of our
treacherous and constantly changing
climate, these extraordinary precau
tions have to be redoubled.
The day in a racing stable, during
the off season, begins at 5 a- m., at
which hour the huge alarm clock
which custom decrees shall invariably
be kept In the head “lad’s” bedroom,
Incontinently “goes off.” The horses
know the sound. There is a clatter, stecj
a rippling rustle, the ringing of
.against steel, a muffled neigh or two
f rom the interior of the long ranges of
buildings, followed by tbe appearance
of troops of sleepy men and boys. Top
minutes later all is bustle and aniuiA
tion.
With the first faint streak of dawp
comes breakfast, after which tin*
“morning horses” are taken out for ex
ercise. They are kept out about tbrep
hours—from 8 till 11. The “afternoon’'
horses go out from 2 till 4, and imme
diately on their return begins the gen
eral “elean-up,” anticipatory of tbe
trainer’s daily visit. Each and every
animal is groomed and rubbed and
polished, until from ear to hoof he is
us clean as the proverbial new pin.
Special attention is given to the legs
and feet. The former are Industri
ously hand rubbed with the object of
imparting a good, healthy glow to tbe
extremities. The latter are tarred or
vaselined, as the case may be, and tho
shoes “buff-sticked” and burnished till
they shine like silver.
Soon after 5 the mighty magnate for
whose benefit all these prepartions are
made puts in an appearance, accom
panied, like a general officer on parade,
by his troop of attendant satellites.
Unless something very unusual is “in
the wind,” or a liorSe happens to be in
disposed, the inspection does not occu
py more than ten or fifteen minutes at
the outside.
If he has the slightest shadow of a
doubt lie will verify matters by pass
ing a white handkerchief over the
glossy skin, taking care to rub the coat
the wrong way, or he will insert the
fo”efinger of glove, inside the suspect
ed animal’s ear. Woe betide the groom
responsible for that particular horse if
the cambric or tbe kid, as the case may
be, is not as spotless after this ordeal
as It was before.
As soon as the trainer has taken his
departure the animals are “finished”—
that is, they are wisped all over, and
have their legs again well “hand rub
bed,” after which they are bedded
down and left in peace and quietness
until tbe following morning.
Dreams Which Foreshadow Disasters.
Strange and inexplicable as it may
seem It is an indisputable fact that
dreams do foreshadow or denote disas
ters, and such cases are of much moro
frequent occurrence than is generally
supposed.
An extraordinary instance was
brought to light at an inquest held at
Birmingham, England, four years ago,
on the body of a girl who was found
drowned In a canal near Spring Hill,
in that town. She had been away
from home on a visit to her aunt, and
as she did not return, her absence was
reported to the police.
The night after hearing of tho girl’s
disappearance the aunt dreamed that
she was on the bank of the canal re
ferred to, and that while passing along
she x’Ippled the water with her um
brella on which the body of her niece
at once arose to the surface. Next
morning she visited thp spot that nad
figured in the dream, and, finding the
police dragging another portion of the
canal., she suggested that they should
try the part she had dreamed of. This
they at once did, with the startling re
sult that the body was Immediately
brought to the surface.

Peach Tree* la Witter.
The devastation that was spread
among the peach trees by the severity
of last winter makes the subject of
winter protection of peculiar Interest
Peach buds a^e not altogether the ten
der things that they are popularly re
garded, for they will sometimes stand
even a twenty-degrees below zero tem
perature. But they will not always or
generally do so. The swelling of the
buds in winter does not depend at all
upon root action, for the buds may
swell on a warm winter day, though
the roots are frozen. It has beep found
that whitewashing the trees will pre
vent the absorption of heat on warm
days and hinder the swelling of the
buds. It is, therefore, a protection, al
though on general principles white
washing trees is hardly to be recom
mended. It Is something like 6toppIn (
up the pores of the human skin, ani
while the assurance of a fruit orop may
sometimes Justify measures which as a
rule are not to be recommended, every
peach grower must decide as,to the ad
visability of adopting this or any other
means of protection. Covering the
trees with board sheds lias proved td
be a protection to the buds, but trees
that have been protected in this way
bloomed later and remained longer in
bloom. Still the final results—the set
ting and maturing of the fruit—were
satisfactory. This latter means of pro
tection, however, would be too expen
sive to consider.
The special danger to the buds comes
from sudden changes. A gradual
change is not nearly so severe as one
that comes suddenly, and It Is often the
case that a sudden thawing is much
more damaging than a sudden freezing.
Jt is noticeable, too, that during per
iods of low temperature buds and
twigs may be injured by very bright
sunlight. It is clnimed—though we
never noticed it—that varieties that
have purple twigs absorb heat more
readily than green twig varieties. It
is not possible to say what the exact
.conditions must be to Insure the de
struction of buds, for while, as we
have already said, twenty degrees be
low will sometimes not affect them, at
other times five degrees below will.
Mulching the trees does no good, for
we have already noticed that the buds
swell entirely Independent of the ac
tion of the roots. That Is a general
principle that may be demonstrated by
drawing a grape branch through a hole
into a warm room, while the roots are
frozen. The branch will make consid
erable growth. The principle is also
shown by the leafing out of certain
varieties of trees that have been cut in
winter. It is time thrown away, there
fore, to attempt to keep the ground
frozeu, and the only practical way of
protecting the trees is to whitewash
them. This Vs done by spraying the
whole tree. It is fair to say, In view
of what we have said about white
washing trees, that whenever white
wash has been applied to peach trees,
within our knowledge, no damage, but
great good, has resulted.—Agricultural

Balloons Help to Sprinkle Towns.
An inventor has recently devised a
scheme for sprinkling a town with the
help of balloons, which carry up into
the air long hose pipes connected with
fireplugs on the ground. This is for
the purpose of engendering coolness,
and the same object is sought by an
other genius, who proposes to erect in
various parts of the city very tall skel
eton towers, to the tops of which large
bombs ti led with carbonic acid will
be run up for explosion by an electr*c
spark. Of course, the carbonic acid,
expanding in the form of vapor, will
chill the surrounding atmosphere, thus
giving relief to the heat-oppressed
community below. An idea that is
oven now used in many factories, to
cool the air in the bulLdings, Is to
throw a spray of cold water into a
room until the air Is supersaturated,
and then to force the air thus cooled
through the outer rooms. — Boston

A Remarkable Fossil.
Near the town of Caldera, a port
about 400 miles north of Valparaiso, a
remarkable fossil has Just been discov
ered. A scries of storms so changed
the contour of the bench as to uncover
an enormous rock of sandstone which,
in ages past, was the tomb of a curious
monster. The length of the fossil from
the tip of the muzzle to the tip of the
tall is twenty-six feet. The head Is
nine feet long and six feet baoad, and
the depression in the rock varies from
two inches at the tip of the tall to two
feet at the centre of the body. The
left fin seems to have been folded un
derneath the body of the monster
when he lay down to die. The right
fin, which shows unmistakable evi
dences of scales, is almost perfect, and
is nearly twelve feet from Its tip to
tho centre of the body. — Valparaiso
