Text: “Thou hast given me a south land;
-rive me also springs of water. And he gave
ier the upper springs, and the nether
springs.”— Joshua xv„ 19.
The City of Debir was the Boston of antiq¬
leb uity—a wanted great place for brain and books. Ca¬
it, and he offered his daughter
Achsah as a prize to any one who would cap¬
ture that city. It was a strange thing for
Caleb the to do; and yet the man who could tako
city of would have, at any rate, two ele¬
ments manhood—bravery and patriotism.
With Gen. Othniel Caleb’s rode daughter into the as a”prize battle. to The fight for,
of Debir gates
were thundered into dust, and the
city of The books lay at the feet of the conqner
ors. work done : Othniel comes
back to claim his bride. Having con¬
quered the city, it is no great job for him to
conquer the girl’s heart; for however faint
hearted a woman herself may be, she always
loves courage in a man. I never saw an ex¬
ception to that. The wedding festivity hav¬
ing gone their by, Othniel home. and Achsah However arc loudly about
to go to new
the cymbals may clash and the laughter ring,
parents are always sad when a fondly cher¬
ished daughter goes off to stay; and Achsah,
the daughter of Caleb, knows that now is the
time to ask almost anything she wants of her
father. It seoms that Caleb, the good old
man, daughter had given as a land wedding present to his
and a sloping piece of southward that was mountain¬
ous, toward tho
deserts of Arabia, swept with some very hot
winds. It was called “a south land.” But
Achsah wants an addition of property ; she
wants a piece of land that is well watered
and fertile. Now it is no wonder that Caleb
standing amidst the bridal party, his eyes so
full of tears because she was going away that
he could hardly see her at all, gives her more
than she asks. She said to him: “Thou hast
given me a.south land; give me also springs
of water. And he gave her the upper
springs, and the nether springs.”
that What Caleb, a suggestive father, passage ! The Achsah, fact is,

daughter, a south laud, so God gives He to us
His world. I am very thankful has
given it to us. But I am like Achsah in the
fact that I want a larger portion. Trees
and flowers, and grass, and blue skies are
very well in their places; but he who has has
nothing but this world for a portion no
portion at all. It is a mountainous land,
doping off toward the desert of sorrow,
swept by fiery siroccos; itis “a tries south land,” a
poor portion in it. What for any has man beou that experience to put his

What has been the experience of every
man, of every woman that has tried this

may be put in great business straits, but the
ghastliest of all embarrassments is that of tbe
man who has large estates. The men who
commit suicide because of monetary losses
are those who cannot bear the burden any

Ou Bowling Green, New York, there is a

he had wealth almost unlimited ; yet, at the

there is no life on earth so happy as a really

there is a thorn, there is a whole garland there of
roses. Where there is one groan, are
three doxologies. Where there is one day of

tates of heaven are his cup bearers; if he sit
down to food, his plain table blooms into the
King’s banquet. Men say: “Look coat;” at that
old fellow with the worn-out the
angels of God cry: ‘‘Lift up your heads, ye

Fastidious people cry: of heaven my

I bless Christ for the present satisfaction
of religion. It makes a man all right with
reference to the past; it makes a man all
right with reference to the future. Oh these

Lord, who hath mercy upon

Oh, nether springs of comfort bursting tribula¬
through all tho valleys of trial and
tion! When you see, you of the world,
what satisfaction there is on earth in re¬
ligion, do you not thirst after it as the
daughter of Caleb thirsted after tho
water springs? It is no stagnant pond,
scunaned over with malaria, but springs of
water leaping from the Rock of Ages! Tako
up one cup of that spring water, and across
the top of the chalice will float the delicate
shadows of the heavenly wall, the yellow of of

joy religion is to some of us. It makes a man
happy while lio lives, and glad when ho
dies. With two feet unon a chair and
bursting with dropsies, I heard an old
man in the poorhouse cry out: “Bless the
Lord, oh my soul!" I looked around
and said: “What has this man got to thank
God for?” It makes tho lame man leap
like the hart, and the dumb sing. juicelejss They and say
that the old Puritan religion is a
joyless religion ; but I remember reading of
Dr. Goodwin, tho celebrated Puritan, who in
his last moments said: “ Is this dying swallowed ? Why,
my bow abides in strength ! I am

ness, and all her paths are peace.” yourselves you
who have been trying to satisfy world, do
with the “south land ” of this you
not feel that you would, this morning, like
to have access to the nether springs of
spiritual comfort? Would you not like to
have Jesus Christ bend over your cradle and
bless your table and heal your wounds, and
strew flowers of consolation all up and down
the graves of your dead?
-Tis religion that can give live;

But I have something better to tell you,
suggested by this text. It seems that old
father Caleb on the wedding day of his daugh¬
ter wanted to make her just as happy as pos¬
sible. Though Othniel was taking her away,
and his heart was almost broken Because she
was going, yet he gives her a “south land;”
not only that, but the nether springs. springs; O God, not
only that, but tho upper my
Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast given nether mo
a “south land” in this world, and the world;
springs of spiritual comfort in this
but, more than all, I thank Thee for the
upper springs in heaven.
It is very fortunate we cannot see heaven
until we get into it. Oh, Christian man, if
you could see what a place it is, wo would
never get you back again to the office or store
or shop, and the duties you ought I to perform
would go neglected. I am glad Suppose shall not see
that world until I enter it. wewero
allowed to go on an excursion into that good got
land with the idea of returning. When looked we at
there, and heard the song, and
their raptured faces, and mingled in “Let tho su¬
pernal society, we would cry out: us
stay! We are coming here anyhow. Why
take the trouble of going back again to stay.” that
old world? We are here now; let us
And it would take angelic violence to put
ns out of that world, if once we got
there. But as people who cannot af¬
ford to pay for an entertainment some¬
times come around it and look through tho
door ajar, or through the openings in the
fence, so we como and look through the
crevices iu that good land which God has pro¬
vided for us. We can just catch a glimpse of
it. We como near enough to hear the
rumbling of tbe eternal orchestra, though
not near enough to know who blows
the cornet or who fingers tho harp.
My soul spreads out both wings and claps
them in triumph at the thought of those
upper springs. One of them breaks from
beneath the throne; another breaks forth
from beneath the altar of the temple; an¬
other at the door of “the house of many
mansions.” Upper springs of gladness! Up

in the midst of the throne shall lead them to
living fountains of water.” Oh, Savior de

ticipated raptures! Pour around the roots of
the parched tongue one drop of that liquid
life! Toss before our vision those fountains
of God, rainbowed with sick eternal there; victory.

Flight to farthest world is only the play of a

for them to be holy as it is for us to sin. They
never die there. You might go through all
the outskirts of the great city and find not

PARNELL’8 IDEA.
A deputation on Thursday from the
various Irish municipal bodies presented
to Charles Stewart Parnell an address
congratulating him upon his success in
disproving, before the commission, the
many calumnies that had been heaped
on him. Mr. Parnell replied that he
was sure the Irish municipal authorities
would continue to fight for their privil¬
ege, not lor the purpose of disintegra¬
tion of the empire, nor upsetting for obtaining the au¬
thority of the queen, but a
realization of their legitimate apprecia¬
tions. He had never contemplated the
failure of parliamentiary action. If con¬
vinced of its futility, he and his col¬
leagues would not remain in the House
of Commons twenty-four hours. He be¬
lieved in the near realization of their
hopes.
THE CHINESE WAY.
Chen Yen, of San Francisco, Cal.,
who had had trouble with a Chines#
labor union, was brutally hacked tc
death with a hatchet by a highbinder,
or Chinese bravo, on Thursday. Chen
furnished fifty men recently for a non¬
union cigar factory, which so incensed
the Chinese Cigarmakers’ Uuion, . that
they ordered his death. The price paid
for the murder of a refractory Chinatnai
is about $ 100.

Professional Chaperones.
This is the time of year when the
professional chaperone Saratoga moves from New the
city York to letter. Newport At or Asbury Park says a Bar
or
Harbor they have no need of her. The
professional chaperone is really a profes
sional escort. She has not arrived at
that dignity of station i .. where 1 mammas or
uncles put our petted darling of fortune
under her care, with or without money
eSnstuuuS tender mercies of
over safely to tho a
husband. The professional escort’s
duties are more simple and her business
more precarious. She advertises in
a small way in a theatre programme or a
weekly, not a daily newspaper. Your
true chaperone never advertises at all.
She make it known in modest notices to
the public that she escorts ladies to the
theatre or, if they like, to the races. If
mamma want to send a couple of girls
out for an evening she can put them into
the professional escort’s trusty hands.
This lady will call for them, suitably
dressed, take them to their seat, sit be¬
side them, if a seat is purchased for her;
if not, be on hand to seo them safely
home when tho curtain falls. All this
for possibly $1.25. At Saratoga, whero
she takes up her quarters iu July, she
can be retained on any occasion where
the regular guardian, or dragon, in
whichever light she may be regarded, heir¬ is
indisposed. She will take a young
ess driving or walking, or sit with her
on the piazza, or havo an eye on her at
concert or hop, faithfully warding off
the approaches of the impecunious engaged
young men. Sometimes she is
bv the week when papa has deposited to do
Ins darling and gone to the city decid¬
business; then she thinks herself
edly in luck. She is not in any way
numerous, but I have seen two, seen the
advertisement of one other and heard of
three or four. If lea convenances in such
matters grow too Trench, we shall have
to hire chaperones, for American
mothers are too busy with their own
affairs to devote themselves to their
daughters.
Don’t try, if you are an ordinary nian,
to ocoupy two seats in a crowded horse
car. Only women can do that and look
as innocent as a lily of the valley all the
while.
