THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “The Assassination.”
Tf,XT: “ iVhotwwr doth not bear his
cross, nnii ro il, njter Mr, cannot be My
Disciple."—Luke xiv., 27.
The cross was a gibbet on which criminal,
wore put to death. It was sometimes made
in the shape of the letter T, sometimes in the
shape of too letter X, som times in the shape
of the letter J —a simple upright; sometimes
two cro-s pieces against the perpendicular
liar, so t hat upon the lower cross piece the
criminal partially sat. Hut whatever the
style o; th cross, it was always disgraceful
arid always agon;ting.
When Darim cohquered Babylon he put
CtM captive, to death on the cross. When
Alexander conquered Tvre, he put 2000 cap
tive, to death on the cn bo it was just
an ordinary mode of pun. hjnent. but in
all the forest of crosses on rh> hills and in
the valleys of the earth, ti re is one cross
that attracts more attention han any othor.
It is not higher than the there, it is not
made out of different wood, there is nothing
peculiar in the notch at which the two pieces
uio joined, and as to the scene, they witnessed
crucifixions every few weeks; so that 1 see
a reckless man walking about the hill and
kicking carelessly aside a skull, and wonder
ing who the villain was that had so flat and
mi'shapen a head ; and here is another skull,
and there on the hillside isnnothcr skull. Jn-
«b i d, the Bible says it was “a place of skulls.”
But about the victim on one of these crosses
ail ages nre crying: “Who is he! was he a
man ' was ho a Hod? was he man and God?”
i hroagl. the darkness of that gloomy day
1 come up close enough to tho cross to see
who it is. It is Jesus. How did he come
there.' 1 Had he come up on the top of the hill
to look off upon the beautiful landscape or
upon a brilliant sunset? No. He came there
4jl und exhausted. People sometimes wonder
w tif fr'iTris! espied so quickly on the cross,
in six or seven hour;', while other victims
have been on the cross foriPtty-eight hours
liefore life w as extinct. 1 will tell you the
reason. He was exhausted when he came
there. He had been scr urged. We are hor
rified at the cruellies of the whipping post,
but those cruelties were mercy compared
with the scourging of Jesus Christ.
1 saw at Antwerp a picture made by Rubens
—Rubens's picture of the scourging of Jesus
Christ. It was the most overmastering pict
ure I ever looked at, or over expect to see.
As the long froeked official opened the door
that hi<l the . picture, there lie was—Christ
with back bent andAared. The flagellator
stood with the upriKieeth clenched over the
lower hip, as thouj& to give violence to the
blows, There were the swollen shoulders of
Christ. There were the black and blue ridges,
denied even the relief of bleeding. There
waS the flesh adhering to the whips ns they
were lifted. There "ere the marks where the
knots in the vv hips gouged out the flesh. There
stood the persecutor, with iiis foot on the calf
of the log of the Saviour, balancing himself.
O! the furious and hellish look on those faces,
grinning vengeance against the Son of God.
The picture seized me, it overwhelmed me;
it seemed as if it would kill mo. 1 do not
think J could have icoktd at it five minutes
and have lived.
Bui that, my friends, was before Christ had
started; for Calvary. That was only the
w hipping. Are you ready for your journey
to the cross?
The carpenters have split the timber into
twopieces. They are heavy and they are
Jong pieces, for one of the -a must be fastened
deep down in the earth, lest the struggling of
the victim upset the structure. They put
th’is timber upon the shoulder of Christ very
gradually first, to see whether he can stand
it. and after they find he can stand it they
put the whole weight upon him. Forward
now, to Calvary! The hooting and the yell
ing mob follow on. Under the weight or the
cross, Christ being weary and sick, lie stum
bles and falls, and they ierk at his robe, in
dignant that he should have stumbled and
fallen, and they cry: “Get up, get up!V
Christ, putting one hand on the ground and'
the other hand on the cress, rises, looking
into the face of Mary, his mother, for sym
pathy; but they tell her to stand back, it is
no place for a woman. “Stand back and
stop this crying.”
< hrist moves on with His burden upon His
shoulders, and there is a hoy that passes
along with Him, a boy holding a mallet and
a few nails, I wonder what they are for?
Christ moves on until the burden is so great
He staggers and falls flat mto the dust and
faints dead away, ami a rullian puts his foot
on him and shakes him as he would a dead
dog, while another ruffian looks down at him
wondering whether he has fainted away, or
whether lie is only pretending to faint aivay,
and with jeer and contempt indescribable,
says; “Fainted, have you? Fainted! Get
uni get on!”
Now they have arrived at the foot of the
bill. Off with his clothes! Shall that loath
some mob look upon the unrobed body of
Christ; Yes. The commanding officers say:
“Unfasten the girdle, take jfr the coat; strip
him!” The work is done. But bring back
the coat, for here are the gamblers tossing
up coin on the ground, saying: “I have it, 1
have it; it is mine!” He rolls it up and puts
it under his arm, or he examines it to see
what fabric it is madeol. Then they put
the cross upon the grounf! a - i they stretch
Christ upon it, and four < r five men hold
him down while they drivel o -pikes home.
At every thump a groan- i ■ roan. Alas!
alas! Ti e hour passes on ar.d the time
tomes when they must crucify uim.
Christ has only one garment oft now, a
cap, a cap of thorns. No dan.r that it will
fall off, for the sharp-edges have punctured
the temples and it is sure and fast. One ruf
fian takes ho d of one end of tho short beam
of the cross, and another ruffian takes hold
of the other end of the short beam of the
cross, and another ruffian puts his arms
around the waist of Christ, and another ruf
fian t akes hold of the end of the long beam
of the cross, and altogether they move on
until thov come to the hole digged in tiie
earth, an 1 with awful plunge it jars dovrn
with its burden of woe. it is not the picture
of a i hrist, it is not the statue of Christ, as
you sometimes gee in a cathedral; but it is
the tody of a bleeding, living, dying Christ.
T hey sometimes say he had five wounds,
but they Lave counted wrong. Two wounds
•for tiie hands, two wounds for the feet, one
wound for the side, they say; five wounds.
No; they have missel the worst and they
have missed the most. D,d you ever see the
bramble out of which that crown of thorns
was made? I saw one on a Brooklyn ferry
boat, in the hands of a gentleman who had
just i eturn.'d from Palestine; a bramble just
like that out of which the crown of thorns
was made. O. how cruel and how stubborn
were the thorns I And when that cap of
thorns was put upon Christ, and it was
pressed down upon him, not five wounds, but
ten. tw enty, thirty—X cannot count them.
There were three or four absences that
made that scene worse. First, there was tho
absence of water. The climate was hot; the
fever, the Inflammation, the nervous pros-
trat.on, the gangrene had seized upon
him, and ho terribly wanted water.
His wounds were worse than gunshot
fractures, and yet no water. A Turk in the
Thirteenth century was crucified on the banks
of a river, so that the sight of tiie water
might tantalize him. And 01 how the
thirst of Christ must have tantalized as He
tnougsiitot the Euphrates and the Jordan and
tee Amazon and all the fountains of earth
and heaven poured out of His own hand.
They offered Him au intoxicating draught
made out of wine and myrrh, but He declined
Jt. He wanted to die sober. No water.
Then, my friends, there waa the absence oi
light. Darkness always exasperates trouble.
1 never shall forget the night in the summer
of 1873, in the steamer Greece, mid Atlantic,
every moment expecting the steamer to go
down. Ali the lights in tho cabin were
blown out. The Captain came crawling on
his hands and knees, for he could not stand
upright, so violently was the vessel pitching,
and he cried: “Light up, light up'.” The
steward said: “We can’t light up; the can
dle 0 . are gone and tho holders are gone.” The
C: t koiXL said: “I can’t liolp that; light upl”
The storm was awful when the lights were
burning; worse when the lights went out.
Then there was the absence of faithful
nurses. When you are ill, it is pleasant to
have the head bathed and the hands and feet
rubbed. Look at the hands and feet of
Christ. look at t he face of Christ. There were
women there who had cared tor the sick, but
none of them might come up near enough to
help. There was Christ’s mother, but she
might not come up hear enough to help.
They said: “Stand bock, stand hack; this is
no place for yotl.” The ingu priests and the
soldiers wanted it their own way; they had it
their own way. , . ,
The hours pass on and it is 12 Odock of the
Bax ior’s suffering, and it is'l o’clock, and it
i:? o’clock, and it is almost 2 o’clock. Take
at the suffering face; wan and
> purple lips drawn back against
' eyes red with weepifla and
l pus!
<r lid, tho wholo
sunken as though grier
hack, blackness under the lower
boiy adroop and shivering with the last chill,
the breath growing feebler an 1 fo dder and
feebler and feebler until lie gives one long,
deep, last sigh. He is dead!
i)! my sou), he is dea l. Can you tell yvhy!
Was ho a fanatic dying fora principle’that
di.l not amount to anything? Was ho a man
infatuat 'd? No; to save your soul from sin,
and mine, and m ike eternal life posdble, lis
died. There had to bo n substitute for sin.
Who shall it $e? “Lot it be mo,” said Christ,
“let it be me,’’ You undi rstaud tiie mean
ing of that word substitution. You were
drafted for the last war; some one took your
place, marched your march, suffered your
| wounds and died at Gettysburg. Christ
comes Ions while wo are fighting our battle
| with sin and doath and hell, and Ho is our
i substitut *. He marches our march, fights
[our battle, suffers our wounds and dios our
death. Substitution! substitution!
How do you feel in regard to that scene de-
s ribod in the text, an l in tho region around
about the text? Are vour sympathies
aroused? Or ura you so dead In sin, and so
abandoned by reason of your transgressions
that you can look upon all that tearless and
unmoved? No, no: there are thousands of
people here tins morning who can any in the
depths of their sou!: “No, no, no; if Jesus
endured that, and all that fur me, I ought to
love him. I must love him, I will love him,
I do love him. Here, Lord, I give myself to
thee; ’ti« all that I can do.”
But ho“. are you going tb test your love,
and test your earnestness? Mv text gives a
test. Itsays that while Christ carried a
c; oss for you. you must be willing to carry a
cron for Christ. “Well,” you say, “I never
could understand that. There are no crosses
to be carried in this land; those persecutions
have passed, an I in all the land there isrni
one to ho crucified, and yet in the pulpit and
in the prayer meetings you ail keep talking
about carrying a cross. What do you mean,
sir?” 1 mean this: That this is a cro-s which
Christ calls you to do, which is unpleasant
and hard. “OI” you sav, “after hearing the
story of this Christ and all that he has en
dured for me, 1 am ready to do anything for
him. Just tell me what’ I have to do and I’ll
do it I am ready to carry any cross,”
Suppose T should ask you at the closeof a
re!;;;.„is service to rise up, announcing your
self on the Lordsside—could you do it? “O!
no,” you say, “1 have a shrinking and a sen
sitive nature, and it would be impossible for
me to rise before a large assemblage, an
nouncing myse'f on the Lord's side.” Just
as I feared. You cninot stand that cross.
The first ono that is offered you, you reject.
Christ carried a mountain, Christ carried a
Himalaya, Christ carried a world for you,
and you cannot lift an ounce for Him.
Bat here is a man whose cross will be to
announce among his business associates to
morrow morning on exchange that he has
begun a new life; that while he wants to lie
faithful in his worldly duties, he is living for
another world, and he ought to advise all
those who are his associates, so far ns ho can
influen e them, to begin with him the Chris
tian life. Could you do that, my brother?
“Oh, no,” you say, “not just that. 1 think
religion is religion, and business is business,
and it would be impossible for me to recom
mend the Christian religion in places of
worldly business.” Just as I fearea. There
is a second cross offered you, and you can
not carry it. Christ lifted a mountain for
yon; you cannot lift an ounce for Him.
There is some one whose cross will be to
present religion in tho homo circle. Would
you dare to kneel down and pray, if your
brother and sister were looking at you?
Could you ask a blessing at the tea table!
Could you take tho Bible and gather your
family around you, and read of Christ and
heaven and your immortal soul? Could you
then kneel and pray for a blessing on your
household? “Oh!” you say, “not exactly
that; I couldn't quitedo that, because I have
a very quick temper, .and if I professed re
ligion and tried to talk religion in my house
hold, and then after that I should lose my
temper, they would scoff at mo and say:
‘You are a pretty Christian!’” Bo yon are
cowed down, and their sarcasm keeps you
out of Heaven and away from Christ, when,
under God, you ought to take your whole
family into the kingdom. Christ lifted a
mountain, lifted a world,for you; you cannot
lift an ounce for Him. I see how it is: you
want to be favorable to religion, you want
to support Christian institutions, you like to
bo associated with those who love Jesus
Christ; but as to taking a positive step on
this subject, you cannot—you cannot; and
my text, like a gate of a hundred bolts, bars
you away from peace on earth and glory ;n
heaven.
There ara hundreds of men and women here
bravo enough in other things in life who sim
ply, for tiie lack of manliness and womanli
ness, stray away from God. They dare not
say: “Forevor and forever, Lord Jesus, I
take Then. Thou has re learned me by Thy
blood, here is my immortal spirit. Listen,
all my friends. Listen, all the world.” They
are lurking around about tho kingdom of
God—they are lurking around about it, ex-
p cting to crawl in some time when nobody
is looking, forgetful of the tremendous words
of my text: “ Whosoever doth not bear his
cross, and come after Me, cannot be My dis
ciple.”
An officer of a neighboring church told me
that he was in a store in New York—just
happened in—where there were many clerks,
and a gentleman came in and said to a young
man standing behind tho counter: “Are you
the young man that arose tho other night in
the Brooklyn Tabernacle and asked for pray
ers?” Without any flush of cheek he repliod:
“lam. I haven’t always'done light, and I
have been quite bad; but since I arose for
prayers I think I am better than I was.” It
was only his was of announcing that he had
started for the higher life. God will not cast
out a man who is brave enough to tako a
step ahead like that.
I tell you these things this morning be
cause, my doar friends, I want to show you
how light the cross is that we have to carry
compared with that which Christ carried for
ns. You have not had the flesh torn off lor
Christ’s sake in carrying your cross. He
fainted dead away under his cross. You
have not carried the cross until it fetched the
blood. Under his there was a pool of car
nage that plashed the horses’ fetlocks. You
have friends to sympathize with you in
carrying tho cross:’ Christ trod the wine
press of God’s wrath alone, alone! The cress
that you and I ought to carry represents
only a few days or a few years of trial. The
cross that Christ carried for us had com
pressed into it the agonies of eternity.
There has some one come hero to-day whom
you have not observed. Ho did not come
through the front door; he did not come
down any of these aisles; yet I know he is
here, He is from tho East, the far Fast. He
comes with blistered foot, and with broken
heart, and cheedcs red not with health but
with blood from the temples. I take hold of
his coat and I say; “lt’does not seam to fit
thee.” “No,” he says, “it is not mine; it is
borrowed; it does not belong to me now.
For my vesture did tliev cast lots.” And I
say to Him: “Thine eyes nre red as though
from loss of sleep.” He says: “Yes, the Son
of man had not. where to lay His head.”
And I touch the logon His back and Isay:
“Why earnest Thou this?” “Ah!” He says,
“that is a cross 1 carry for thee an 1 for the
sins of the whole world. That is a cross.
Fall into line, march on with Mo in this pro
cession, take your smaller crosses and your
lighter burdens, and join me in this march to
heaven.” And we join that procession with
our smaller crosses und our lighter burdens,
and Christ looks back and He sees some are
halting because they cannot endure the
shame, or bear the burden, and with a voice
which has in It mires'tv anil omnipotence,
He cries until all the earth trembles: “Who
soever doth not boar his cross,and come after
Me, cannot bo My disciple.”
O! my brethren, my sisters—for I do not
speak professionally, I .speak as a brother
would speak to a brother or sister—my
brother, can you not bear a cross if at last
you can wear a crown? Come, now, let us
divide off. Who is on tho Lord’s side? Who
is ready to turn his back upon the. Lamb of
God that taketh away the sin of the world)
A Roman emperor said to a Greek archi
tect: “You build me a col s um, a grand
coliseum, and if it suits me I will crown you
in the presence of all the people, and I will
make a great day of festival on your ac
count.” The Greek architect did his work,
did it magnificently, planned the building,
looked after its construction. The building
was done. The day for opening arrived. In
the coliseum were the emperor and the great
architect. The emperor arose amid thoplaud-
lts of a vast assembly and said: “We have
gathered hero to-day to open this coliseum
and to honor the Greek architect. It is
a great day for the Roman empire.
Let this building be prosperous, ami let
honor be put upon the Greek architect.
Oh, we must have a festival to-day. Bring
out those Christians and let us have them
put to death at (he mouth of the lions.” The
Christians were put into tho center of the
amphitheatre. It was to be a great celebra
tion in their destruction. Then tiie lions,
hungry and three-fourths starved, were let
out from their dens in the side of the amphi
theatre, and they eamo forth with mighty
spring to destroy and rend :ho Christians,
ami all the galleries shouted: “Huzza, huzza!
Long live the emperor!” Then tho Greek
architect arose in /mo of the galleries, and
shouted until in the vast assemblage all
heard him: “I, too, am it Christian!” and
they seized him in their fury and flung him
to the wild beasts, until his body, bleeding
and dead, was tumbled over and over again
in the dust of the amphitheatre.
Could you have done that for Christ ?
Could yin, ill « vast assemblage, all of
whom lifted Christ, have said: “I am a
Christian,” or “I want to be a Christian!”
Would yi u havo luid the ton thousandth
part of tho enthusiasm and tho courage of
the Greek , irchitect ? Nay, I ask you another
question: \ ^onld you in nu assemblage whoro
they are ne *rly all Christians—in an assem
blage, a via <t multitude of whom love Christ
and arc will ing to live, and if n.-ul be to die,
for him—wo old you dare to say: “I am a
Christian,” or “I w ant to be a Christian?”
Would you sa y in tho presence of the friends
of Christ us n lueli as tho Greek architect said
in the presence of the enemies of Christ? Oh,
are there not multitudes here this morning
who are ready to say: “Let the world look
on, let all the g sllenes of earth and heaven
and hell look on, I take Christ this day.
Come applause or nbuse, come sickness or
health, come life or death, Christ now, Christ
forever.’
Are you for Christ? Are you against Him?
The destinies of eternity tremble in the bal
ance. It seems as if the latr day had come,
and wo wore gathered for tho reckoning.
“Behold! ne cometh with clouds, and every
eye shall see hun.” What I say to ono 1 say
to all. What are you doing for Christ!
What ars you bearing for Christ!
0! Christian man, O! Christian woman!
Have you any scars to show in this conflict?
When a war is over the heroes have scars to
show . One hero rolls 1 »ark his sleeve and
shows a gunshot tract are, or he pulls down
the collar and shows vvl ere he was wounded
in the nock. Another me Ji says: “] have never
had the use of my limb since I was wounded
at that great buttle.” When th». List day
comes, when a'! L—.„os are over, will we
he”.' utit wounds for Christ? Some have
wounds for sin, wounds For the devil, wounds
gotten in fighting on the wrong side. Have
we wounds that we can sKow—wounds gotten
in the battle for Christ, and for the truth?
On that resurrection day Christ will havo
ptenty of scars to show. Christ will stand
there arid show the sce.rs on his brow, the
scars on his lands, the scars on his Net,and
he will put aside the robe of his royalty
and show the scar on his side, and all heaven
will break down with emotion and gratitude
in ono great sob, and then in one great ho
sanna. WiU you and I have any sears to
show?
There will’ be Ignatius on that day showing
tho mark of the paw and teeth of the lion
that struck h. m down in tiie coliseum. There
will he gloric'us John Hues showing just
where on his ,*oot the flames began on that
day when his s oul took wing of flame and
soared ur> from Constance. There will be
Hugh McKail re: wly to point to the mark on
his neck where i u ax struck him. There
will he McMillan i: mi Campbell and Free
man, the American missionaries, who with
their wives and children were putto death in
tho awful massacre of Cawnpore, showing
the place where the (knggers of the Sepoys
struck them. There vill be the TValdenses
showing where their F mbs were broken on
the day when the I Te Imoatese soldiery
pitched them over the rocks. Will you and
I have any wounds’to sh. ovv ? Have wo fought
any battles for Christ? Oh, that we might
all bo enlisted for Christ, that wo might all
be willing to suffer for Ct u'ist, that we might
all hear a’ cross for Christ
When the Scottish cliieftain wanted to
raise an army they woulc make a wooden
cross, aud then set it tin fire and carry it
with other crosses they had through the
mountains, through Vhe highlands and among
the people, and us they waved the cross tiie
people would gather to the standard and fight
for Scotland. ' To-day 1 come out with the
cross of the Son of God. It is a flaming cross
—flaming with suffering, foaming with tri
umph, flaming with glory. I carry it out
among all the people. Who will boon the
Lord's side! Who will yathar to the standard
of Emmanuel? Across, a cross, a cross!
“Whosoever doth not b sar his cross, and
come after Me, cannot be My disciple.”
How to Find a Job.
At one of the mills in the city of Bos
ton a boy was wanted, aud a piece ol
paper was tacked on one of the posts
so that all the boys coaid see as they
passed by. Tho jittper read :
‘“Boy wanted. (Jail at the office to
morrow morning.”
At the time named there was a host of
boys at the gate. All were admitted, but
the overseer was » little perplexed ns to
the best way of choosing ono from so
many, and lie said: “Now, boys, when I
only want one of you, how can I choose
from so many ? ”
After thinking a moment, he invited
them all into the yard, and, driving a nail
into one of the large trees, and taking a
short stick, told them that the boy who
could hit the nail with the stick a little
distance from tho tree should have the
place.
The boys all tried hard, and, after
three hard trials, each failed to hit the
nail. The boys were told to come again
next morning, and this time when the
gate was opened there was but one boy,
who, after being admitted, picked up the
stick, and, throwing it at the nail, hit it
every time.
And the boy, looking up, said: “Yon
see, sir, we are poor, and I thought 1
would like to get the place; and after
going home yesterday I drove a nail in
the barn and practiced throwing at it,
and haye come down this morning to
try again.'
Tho boy was admitted to the place.
Many years have passed since then,
and this boy is now a prosperous man;
and at the time of an accident at the
mills lie was the first to step forward
with a gift of $500 to relieve the suf.
ferers. It is easy to see how his success
•came.—Ex.
Carrying a Lady’s Muff.
A Cincinnati lady tells a story of an
experience she had several years ago
with a New Orleans cousin who was
visiting her, and who, with all his fresh
ness as to Northern ways and fashions,
was exceedingly polite. The time was
winter, when large muffs were the
proper caper, and muffs in the Crescent
City were unknown. The first day out
for a walk the young New Orleans gen
tleman, noticing his fair cousin sup
porting the large muff, mistook it for a
burden, and said:
“Cousin Lucy, let me tote you’ bah
skin fo’ you?”
“No, Cousin Thomas,” responded his
companion, “all the young ladies in
Cincinnati carry them; you see it’s the
fashion.”
“Well, I never saw but one of them
before,” replied the young Chesterfield,
“and that was in New Orleans, and a
young lady was not totin’ it, either. It
was in front of a brass baud and on tho
head of the drum majah.”—Cincinnati
Times.
Honeymoon Amenities.—“Oh, ma,
darling, I am so glad to get back from
that horrible honeymoon,” sobbed the
fair bride, flinging her arms around the
elderly matron’s neck. “Peter lias be
haved like a perfect brute.” “What bus
he been guilty of, the wretch? Tell me
at once, Daisy, my—my poppet,” ex
claimed the anxious maternal parent
“Why, the other day he insisted on
poor dear Fido being thoroughly washed
with some abominable dog soap, and the
pet has done nothing but shiver ever
since. Yesterday ho actually refused to
buy me a duck of a bonnet that took
my fancy, and this morning he wouldn’t
lend me his razor when I wanted to cut
my corns,” cried the sorely afflicted girl.
“Just wait till I see the tyrant,” growled
the old lady.—London Judy.
TIIE PICKET COUNTED NINE.
It was a Miscount, blit a Gleaming
Dagger Made ilic Correction.
[From the Detroit Freo Press.]
As tho sun went down and darkness
began to creep over the face of the
earth the angry artillery died away tmd
tho crackle of musketry was less spite
ful. For a while the lighting on the
extreme right hung on, to settle the
question of who should occupy tiie old
earthworks, but at length dead silonco
fell upon the whole field.
Silence? No! It was silonco com
pared to the awful ronr of the long after
noon, but it was n silonco broken by the
sciearns and groans and prayers of
wounded men—by tho movements of
wagons and artillery—by tho subdued
voices of 75,000 men ns they camped for
tho night without tiro, and anxiously
debated the chances for the morrow.
The sergeant marches off to the left at
tho head of half a, dozen men. He drops
a man at “Post No. 1,” and gives him
whispered instruction. It is the same
at posts 2, 3, 4, etc., until the last man
hns been stationed.
There must be vigilant, wakeful men
between friends end foes while tho long
night wears away.
“Post No. 6” is under a great bseoh
tree. Shot and shell have scarred and
riven its trunk, and phot and liavo
scattered and riven its thick limbs. A
onarir; of a century lienee this tree will
bear witness to tlio terrible struggle of
to-ilny.
“From this tree to tho edge of that
thicket, and the countersign is “Jus
tice,’ ” whispered the sergeant, anil as
ho passes on the picket takes up his
beat. He counts as he passes them by
—one, two, three, four, live, six, seven,
eight. What? Corpses! They are ly
ing on the grass so near tho path he
travels that lie cun touch any of them
with Iiis foot. There are others to the
right and left, farther away. It was
here that the enemy charged a battery—
here our heroes rallied to preserve it
Grape-shot aud canister, bullet and bay
onet, found victims there. Some lay as
if asleep, worn out with the tremendous
conflict—others raved and prayed and
cursed God and man before death re
leased them from their sufferings.
Tho picket counts them as lie walks,
and a sigh escapes his lips. To-morrow
night some sentinel may number Iiis
mutilated corpse with others on tho
same mt alow. To-morrow night the
autumn winds ,! rnay vainly seek to rouse
him from his death sleep.
From tree to thicket and turn. From
thickets to tree and turn. He must
w'atcljJfcd listen and bo on his guard,
but ffPand by he finds time to count
again. One—two—three—four— five—
six—seven—eight—nine! What! ITo
counted only eight before! Y> T as he
mistaken, or can the dead of the battle
field creep and crawl ? Six—seven-
eight—nine ! Yes, there nre nine. In
the darkness he had made a mistake.
Nine! Well, what matters one more
or one less corpse upon a field of bat
tle?
To the tree and turn. To tho thicket
and turn. As lie heads for the tree again
the ninth corpse assumes a sitting posi
tion and looks after him. A moment
later it struggles up, and a figure goes
creeping after the picket. Tho grass on
the meadow is thick and matted. His
footfalls give out no sound. Softly—
softly—silent ns the shadow of death—
creeping—creeping, and now ho is close
upon the lone picket. There is a gleam
of steel in tho darkness—a swift aud
powerful blow, anil he who was placed
to watch will watch no more.
Through the gaps the spies will pour
in and skulk about the camps; a regi
ment will be silently advanced to the
key position; the ghouls will scent plun
der and creep up to rob the dead.
Tho picket had counted, “seven-
eight—nine !”
There i3 no missing corpse. Tho num
ber has been made good !

The Louisville Post tells this story:—
Louis Nevin, recently returned from Hot
springs, Ark., brought a tarantula as
big as a tea-saucer to Dr. Vanderespt as
a present. Mr. Nevin was at a great
deal of trouble in catching the insect and
in bringing him to Louisville. It was
bagged in the wilds of the hilly country
about Hot Springs. While Mr. Nevin
had it in his possession lie was quaran
tined from his boarding-house and had
to leave his pot in the woods to cat his
meals. Ho had a highly exciting time
in getting tire bug to Louisville, He
carried it in a glass bottle with a stopper
with air holes in it. While riding on
tho narrow gauge road between Hot
Springs and Littio Rock Ihe stopper foil
out of the bottle, and following closely
after it came tho tarantula. The coft-ii
Was full of passengers at the time, with
it large number of women and children
.•among them. Before Nevin had an
inkling of tho spider’s escape he saw it
in the middle of the car aisle. He tried
to recapture it without creating any
ifuror, but the tarantula was bent on a
littio fun, and refused to be captured.
[With masculine good taste lie made
(straight for the petticoats of a pretty
girl. The girl discovered him, jumped
upon the seat and gave the alarm. All
the women went promptly into hysterics
and the men were thrown into a state of
equal excitement. The tarantula had
the car at his mercy for half an hour,
but was finally run into a corner by his
owner and captured.
In 1850 there were 6,737 prisoners in
the jails of this country. In 1880, the
amount was 59,250. lu 1850, there was
one prisoner to evpry 3,443 inhabitants;
in 1880, there was one to every 837 in
habitants.

How to Do It.
A new plan of irrigation 1ms just been
inaugurated ou the Pawnee river south
of Lamed, Kansas, A large wheel is
placed in tho edge of the'water, which
resembles somewhat a double windmill.
The wheel is so constructed and con
nected that it is kept constantly turning
by the current. To the rim of the wheel
is attached eight large troughs, each
holding eight gallons of water. As the
wheel turns these troughs clip up water,
carry it to the highest point of tho wheel
and there empty it into tlio irrigation
ditch. Through ditches and laterals it
is then carried to the ad jacent laud. By
this means the river, by its own force, is
constantly turning a stream of wutcr on
the surrounding country.

THIS OUTGROWTH OP A VAST EXPERIENCE

Invalids 'h>1 , and Surgflcal Institute, Huffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing
remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pierce’s Favor-
Ite Prescript? on is the
outgrowth, or result, of
this great and valuable
ex-perience. Thousands
of testimonials, received
from patients and from physicians who
liavo tested it in the more aggravated and
obstinate cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be the most wonderful remedy
ever devised for the relief aud cure of suf
fering women. It is not recommended as
a “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific
for woman’s peculiar diseases.
As a powerful, in
vigorating tonic, it

stresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nurs
ing mothers, and feeble women generally.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is tho
greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as
au appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
It promotes digestion and assimilation of
food, cures nausea, weakness of stomach,

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE-
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in this way
they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate mid dirtinet diseases, for which
ho prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused bv ootnc womb
disorder, ilie physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large hills aro made, ’the suffering
p!i t i''nt gi'ts no beUor lnit probihly worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper
medicine, like Dr. Pierobs Kvvoritb Prescription, directed to the cause, would have entirely removed the disease thereby dis
pelling all thoso distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort inhtead of prolonged misery.
Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of lfo. 71 Lexington St.,
