DeWitt Talmage’s text to day was from Romans, chapter xii., verse 1:1: “Given to Hospitality,” ami his discourse was as follows: There is danger that the multiplication of large and commodious hotels in our towns and cities and villages will utterly exterminate ■that grace which Abraham exhibited when he entertained the angels, and which Lot showed when he watched for guests at the gate of the fcity and which Christ recognized as a positive requisite for entering heaven when he de cleared : “I was a stranger and ye took me in.” i I propose to speak this morning of the trials And rewards of Christian hospitality. The first [trial often comes in the whim and eccentricity jof the guest himself. There are great many excellent people who Hbave protuberances of disposition And sharp edges of temperament, and unplia llnlity of character, which make them a posi tive nuisance in any house where they stay. [On short acquaintance, they will begin to com nnand the household atfairs.order the employes [to unusual service, keep unseasonable hours, use narcotics in places offensive to sensitive fcostrils, put their feet at unusual elevations, [crop the ashes of their Havana on costly tap estry, open bureaus they ought never to touch, find pry into things they ought never to see, find become impervious to rousing bells, and [pave all the peculiarities of the gormandizer jpr tlio dyspeptic, and make exca vations from poor dentistry with •Unusual implements, and in a thousand ways afflict the household which proposes to take xare of them. Added to all, they stay too long. They have no idea when their welcome ’ [is worn out, and they would bo unmoved even ■py the blessing which my friend Gerritt Smith, jthe philanthropist, asked one morning at has breakfast table, on the day when he hoped [that t lie long protracted guests would depart, saying: “O, Lord, bless this-provision, and our friends who leave us today.” But my friends,there are alleviations to be put on their Bide of the scale. Perhaps they have mot had the same refining influ ences about them in early life that you have had. Perhaps they have inherited eccentricities that they cannot help. Perhaps it is your duty, by example, to show them a ’better way. Perhaps they are sent to be a trial for the development of your patience. [Perhaps they were to be intended as an illus tration of the opposite of what you are trying to inculcate in the minds of your children. Perhaps it is to make your home the brighter they are gone. When our guests are pheery, and fascinating, and elegant, it is very [easy to entertain them; but when we find in jtnir guests that which is antagonistic to onr taste and sentiment, it is a positive triumph When we can obey the words of my text and be •■given to hospitality.” [ Another trial in the using of this grace is in She toil and expense of exercising it. In the well regulated household things go smoothly, but now you have introduced a foreign ele ment into the machinery, and though you may 'Stoutly declare tliat they must take tilings as they find them, the Martha will break in. The Ungovernable stove. The ruined dessert. The joint that proves to bo unmasticable. The delayed marketing. The perplexities of a caterer. The difficulty of doing proper work, and yet always being presentable. Though you may say there shall be no care or anxiety, there will bo care and there will bo anxiety. In 1694 the captain-general provid ed a very grand entertainment, and among Other things he had a fountain in his garden— A fountain of strong drink. In it were four hogsheads of brandy, eight hogsheads of water, 25,000 lemons, thirteen hundredweight of I.isbon sugar, five pounds of grated nut meg, 300 toasted biscuits and a boat built on purpose was placed in the fountain, and a boy towed around it and tilled the cups of the people who came there to be sup plied. Well, you say that was a luxur ious entertainment, and of course the • man had no anxiety; but I have to tell you, that though you had. or propose, an entertain ijnent like that, you have anxiety. In that [every thing comes the divine reward. We iwere born to serve; and when we serve others, jjve serve God. The flush on that woman’s [cheek, as she bends over the hot stove, is as Sacred in God’s sight as the flush of the cheek sos one who, on a Hot day, preaches the gospel. ?We may serve God with plates, and cultry, And broom, as certainly as we can serve him [with psalm-book and liturgy. Margaret, Aueen of Norway, and Sweden, and Denmark, uaadja royal cup of ten lips, on which was re ■corded the names of the guests who had /drank from his cup. And every Christian Woman has a royal cup, on which are written All the names of those who have ever been en tertained by her in|Clirist:an“style—names not put by human ingenuity, but written by the maud of a divine Jesus. ’ But, my friends, you Are not to toil unnecessarily. Though the fare ®e plain, cheerful presidency of the table, and Cleanliness of appointments will be good fonough for anybody that ever comes to your mouse. John Howard was invited to ’the house of a nobleman.BHe said: “I fyvill come on one condition, and that is I it you have nothing but potatoes on the tie.” The requisition was complied with, rus, king of Persia, under the same circum nces, prescribed that there must be nothing t bread. Os course, these were extremes, t they are illustrations of the fact that more pends upon the banqueters than upon the nquet. 1 want to lift this idea of Christian tertainment out of a positive bondage into a irious inducement. Every effort you put th, and every dollar you give to the euter nment of a friend or foe, you give directly to rist. Suppose it were announced that the rd Jesus Christ would come to this place this ek. what woman in this house would not ibeglad to wash for Him, or spread for Him a ®ed, or bake bread for Him? There, was one ,pf old who washed for Him, drawing the water «rom the well of her own tears. He is coming, lie will be here tom irow. ‘‘lnasmuch as ye inave done it to one of the least of these. My [Brethren, ye have done it to Me.” In picture ialleries we have < iten ~ < u representations of iwalter Scott and bis friends, or V.’a hiugton <rving with his ,is.v-mates; but. all those en fcavings will fade out, while through cver- Jasting ayes, hanging luminous and conspicu ous, will be. the picture of you and your Christ ian guests. You see wc have passed out from the trials into the rewards of Christian hospitality; •rand, glorious, and eternal. The first reward [Of Christian hospitality the Divine beiiedie (tion.

The Blessing comes in at tlio front door, and the Aback door, and down through the skylights. .God draws a long mark of credit for services Received. Christ said to His disciples: ‘‘Ho <hat receivcth you, receiveth Me; and he Shat giveth a cup oi cold water in tlie Mmt of a disciple hull in no wise loose his 'tCWard.” As we have had so many tilings re worded ugninst ns in heaven, it will tea satis jlaction t >lmve writ'- non unfailing nr hives 'the faet, that in the month of May, or Juno, [tot Septemlier, or December, 1887, we made jibe blissful mistake of supposing that we Srerc entertaining v. ik men like our el', is, iivhcn.

St. Sebald ordered the man to go out and break the icicles from the side of the house and bring them in, ami the icicles were brought into the house and thrown on the hearth, and they began to blaze imme diately, and the freezing family gath ered around and were warmed by them. : That was a legend; but how often have i our guests come in to gather up the cold, [ freezing sorrows of ottr life, kindling them I into illumination, and warmth, and good I cheer. He who opens his house to Christian hospitality, turns those, who are strangers into friends. Years will go bv, and there will be great changes in you, anil there will be great changes in them." Some day you will be sit ting in loneliness, watching a bereavement, and you will get a letter in a strange hand writing,"and you will look at the postoffice mark, and say: "'Why, I don’t know anybody living in that cityand you will brealt the envelope, and there you will read the story of thanks for your Christian generosity long years before, and how they have heard afar off ofiyour trouble. And the letter will be so full of kindly reminiscences and Christian condolence, it will be a plaster large enough to cover up all the deep gashes of your soul. When we take people into our houses as Christian guests, we take them into our sympathies forever. In Dort, Holland, a soldier with a sword at his side stopped at a house desiring lodging and shelter. The wo man of the house at lirst refused admittance, saying that the men of the house were not at home; but when ho showed his credentials that he had been honorably discharged from the army, he was admitted, and tarried during the night. In the night-time there was a knocking at the front door, and two rutliians broke in to despoil that household. No sooner had they come over the door sill than the armed guest, who had primed his piece and charged it with slugs, met them, and telling the woman to stand back, I am happy to say, dropped the two assaulting desperadoes dead at his feet. Well, now there are no ban dits prowling around to destroy our houses; but how often it is that we find those that have been our guests become our defenders. We gave them shelter first, and then afterwards in the great conflicts of life they fought for our reputation; they fought for our property; they fought for our soul. Another reward that comes from Christian hospitality is in the assurance that wo shall have hopitality shown to us and to ours. In the upturnings of this life, who knows in what city or what land we may be tlirowns, and how much we may need an open door? There may come no such crisis to us, but our chil dren may be thrown into some such strait. He who is in a Christian maimer hospitable, has a free pass through all Christendom. It may be that you will have been dead fifty years before any such stress shall come upon one of your descendants; tint do you not sup pose that God epn remember fifty years? and the knuckle of the grandchild will bo heard against the door of some stranger, and that door will open; and it will be talked over in heaven, and it will said: '‘That man’s grand father, fifty years ago, have shelter to a strang er, and now a stranger’s door is open for a grandson.” Among the Greeks, after entertaining and being entertained, they take a piece of lead and out it in two, and the host takes one half of the piece of lead and the guest takes the other half as they part. These two pieces of lead are handed down fro m generation to gen eration, and from family to family, and after a while, perhaps one of the families in want or in trouble go out with this one piece of lead and find the other family with the correspond ing piece of lead, and no sooner is the tally completed than the old hospitality is aroused and eternal friendship pledged. So the mem ory of Christian hospitality will go down from generation to generation, and from family to family, and the tally will never be lost.neither in this world nor the world to come. Mark this: the day will come when we will all be turned out of doors, without any excep tion—bare-foot, bare-head, no water in the canteen, no bread in the haversack, and we will gO in that way into the future world. And I wonder if eternal hospitalities will open be fore us, and if we will be received into ever lasting habitations? Francis Frescobald was a rich Italian, and he was very merciful and very hospitable. One day, an Englishman by Uie name of Thomas Cromwell appeared at his door asking for shelter and alms, which were cheerfully rendered. Frescobald afterward lost all his property, became very poor, and wandered up into England; and one day he saw a proces sion passing, and 10l it was the lord chancel lor of England; and lot the lord chancellor of England was Thomas Cromwell, the very man whom he had once liefriended down in Italy. The lord chancellor, at the first glance of Frescobald, recognized him, and dismounted from his carriage, threw his arms around him and embraced liim,paid his debts, invited Him to his house, and said: ‘•Here are ten pieces of money to pay for the bread you gave me, and here are ten pieces of money to provide tor the horse you loaned me, and here are four bags, in each of which ate four hundred ducats. Take them and be well.” So it will be at last with us. If we entertain Christ in the person of His disciples in this world, when we pass up into the next country, we will meet Christ in a regal pro cession, and He will pour all the wealth of heaven into our lap, and open before us ever lasting hospitalities. And O, how tame are the richest entertainments we can give on earth compared with the regal munificence which Christ will display before our souls in heaven! I was reading the account which Thomas Fuller gives of the entertainment provided by George Neville. Among other things, for that banquet they had three hundred quarters of wheat, one hundred and four tons of wine, eighty oxen, three thousand capons, two hundred "cranes, two hundred kids, four thousand pigeons, four thousand rabbits, two hundred and four bit terns, two hundred pheasants, five hundred pari ridges, four hundred plover, one hundred quail, one hundred curlews, fifteen hundred hot pasties, four thousand cold venison pasties, four thousand custards—the earl of Warwick acting as steward, and servitors one thousand. O, what a grand feast was that! but then compare it with the pro vision which God has made for us on high ; that great banquet hour; the one hun dred and forty-four thousand as guests; all the harps and trumpets of heaven as the orchestra; the vintage of tlie celestial hills poured into the tankards; all the fruits of the orchards of God piled on the golden platters; the angels of the Lord for cupbearers, and the once folded starry banner of the blue sky flung out over the scene, while seated at the head of the table shall be the One who eighteen centuries ago declared • ‘T was a stranger and ye took Me in.” Our sins pardoned, may we all mingle in those hospitalities!

Tlie Loading mining Property ol fe Coiinlry. THEIR MARVELOUS RICHNESS IN GOLD AND SILVER. A Safa and Profitable Invest ment for All. FROM THE NEW YORK STAR AUGUST 27, 1887, The mines of the Torttlita Gold and Hilver Min ing company of No. m Broadway, New York, Have become the most favorably know n property of this Class in America. Their great value hits been demonstrated by new and continuous discoveries of vast bodies of rich ore as the work goes on, and in vestors in the shares of the company are from all sections and all classes in the country. The Tortilitas are developed, proven and working mines. The shares are an absolute security, as they arc bused on property worth many times what they call for. Shares are tor sale In any sized lots from one share to ten thousand. There is no better or safer investment. Receipts for 81 iO,OOO in bullion taken out of the mines during their development can be seen at the company’s office. The demand for the shares is increasing daily. They are the favorite investment everywhere with all. The Tortilita shares are not affected Wall street panics. They aie an investment security ptire and simple. The Tortilitas have lately been examined and re ported upon favorably by the Tucson (Ariz.) Star, published with n sight of the mines; the Florence (Artz.) Enterprise and the Hartford Post. These nnd other leading journals have published articles pronouncing the mines worth many times more than they are capitalized for. The sale of the stock is being conducted upon a different plan from that generally employed, the management offering the shares "direct for invest ment tn any sized lots instead of making it a stock speculation, The Hartford Post, in the full page article referred to, says: WHAT THE HARTFORD POST SAYS. Just now the newspapers have a great deal to say respecting the wonderful group of twelve gold and silver mines in southern Arizona, in the Owl’s Head mining district, known as the Tortilita mines. As the. readers of the Post are certain to be interested in these remarkable mines, which for some time to come are likely to be the < enter of iiltraction for in vestors in mining stock, we take pleasure in pre senting also some facts gleaned from reliable. sources in ftrrtherance of the Post’s constant pur pose to place before its readers in available form every good thing which the market affords. THE GREAT TORTILITA. A well-known gentleman from the oast, who is an expert in mining enterprises, for his own personal grntitlcation male an examination of the Tortilita mines last mouth, and we are fortunately able to irint his report here. We give his report in his own words: ‘‘On arriving nt the camp I inquired for the su perintendent of the mines, Mr. t>. T. Elmore. I round Mr. Elmorc a gentleman of about 50 years of. age, atypical western man, well bronzed with the hot suns of this semi-tropical climate and the ex posure resulting from thirty years’ active mining life on the Pacific coast.” THE SUPERINTENDENT’S STATEMENT. In reply ton question Mr. Elmore said: “I came here to take charge of this property three years ago. We have subsequently added to it bp purchase and otherwise until we control all the valuable rights In this district. I have seen all the best mines iu America, and worked in them, and I tell you here and now that the Tortilitas are the greatest and best of their class on the American continent.” EXPLORING THE MINES. After a good night’s rest I began a survey of the field with Mr. Elmore. We drove a mile and a half northerly to the By Chance Mine, where we found the men at work in four places. In shaft A, which is a distance of 19 J feel from the south center end of the claim, ore is uncovered for a distance of several hundred feet, and in this distance, vmyjig front 50 to 100 feet apart, are four other openings funning parallel. We went down an incline forthiity feet, and there a great wall of ore and a true fissure vien was disclosed to me. From this point I wem tlinu -h a tunnel and was shown large bodies of ore above me. We then returned nnd went down fifty feet further and there measured a breast of ore forty-two and a half feet wide, from which 1 took samples to the mil) and saw worked, yielding an average of 850 per ten. In three places on this vein below the water ore. has been uncovered, and the vein shown to be four feet wide and of unknown length and DRS. BETTS & BETTS.

Before any furtl er reference is made to the min ing provert es brivi.y dcscrib-d alove.it will be proper to say something about the personnel of the company into whose possession these mines and their accessories have come; for the readers of the Post are alwaxs inquisitive concerning new ac quaintances. The Tortilita Gold and .Silver Mining company has for its president Mr. Joseph 11. Real). S resident also of the American Agricultural and airy association, and well know among the farm, ers of America, an experienced business man, wei 1 versed in financial matters, whose name is prom nently mentioned for vice president of the United States, u ith Cleveland, as the representative of the agricultural interests; and Rodman M. Price. Jr., tlte secretary, is a well known mining nnd civil en gineer, who has just returned from an eight years’ ivsidenee in Arizona, where he selecteii the Tor tilitas as the best mines in the territory. He is a worthy sun of his distinguished father, ex-Governor Price. THE PROPERTY SELF-SUSTAINING. This property, unlike most mining enterprises in viting capital, is a producing and self-sustaining one, \\ ith a b-stamp mill in good order, which lias been running fornearly three years continually; the mill has just been fin uished with newenms,* dies ami tappets, which puts the plant reality in as good order as w hen built: nine tons of ore are worked per day. while with a‘.’o stamp mill to bo erected forty tons can be worked at but slight additional ex pense, and over per day earned. WHAT PRESIDENT REALL SAYS. President Roaß, in a recent interview, printed In the Boston Globe, said: “When the former owners of the Tortilita camo to xne with their properties, recommended by some of the be t men in America tortheir pemonnl worth, they asked me to accept the presidency of the company and raise, capital to extend their work. 1 invcstlg ited the enterprise thoroughly, only to tint! that their reprc-ontallons wore far beneath what the facts would bear, and 1 am getting daily jiroofs of the greater value of the pniperly. When 1 took hold of tho enterprise 1 determined to apply tho business principles to it which I had learned by twenty years’ active experience. I realized the Ipre judices that had to i>o met. find the diflicultics that had to be overcome. 1 determined to handle mining stock the sumo ns any regular commodity—that L, to sell it on its merits for what it was worth. f l h<- public have recognized the value of the enterprij-e far beyond my expecta tions, and have shown their confidence in it to a great r extent than was ever shown before. I found investors ready for an enterprise conducted on sound business principles, and they will reap their reward. Ido not know whether the stock will pay Si or $2 per share In dividends, but 1 do know It is cheap at $2, the present price, nnd many believe It will event ually sell for ten tinier that figure. Three of the niim s me now being operated, and either of them are demonstrated to be exceptionally rich iuoieand worth far more than the entire capital stock of the company, not counting the other mines.” The final and clinching evidence in regard to these properties is found in the following from the Tucson Star, published near the mines, whose, editor Mr. L. C. Hughes, is a leading mining expert and <l!> OUR OFFER. M) Pq Opportunity —TO SECURE— A GOOD TIME-KEEPER, -2f| It is the rmnous Waterbury Watch.

Lie says: “One of the evi den cos of the future of the«_ mine is the fact that from the beginning Hie oOipu* of bullion has paid lor every dollar’s worth of deib It opment. Not a dollar expended which has no’, c line out of the mines. And this means much, furenm mines have not been operated so mia'ii to take out ore as to ascertain fiom prospecting the true merit of the mines. However, many thousands of dollars were expanded in dead work in sinking prospect shaft-, drifting, timbering and tunneling to learn ihecxt nt, richness ami permanency of the ore lodes 't hese facts l ave been well determined. Dur ing these dovelopim n snearly $175,000 of bullion han been produced by these niines ami under adverse conditions. A twenty or forty-stamp mill is what the district nee Is. With the present management ami such a mill the Tortilita mining district would be the largest bullion producer in Arizona. Thu ore is there. The water and wood are there in abun dance. Everything is favorable to the working of these mines and the production of bullion.’’ SURROUNDED WITH AI.L THE CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESS. The fact is the Tortilitamines are surrounded with all the Conditions necess iry to a prosperous mining damp. Add to this the fact that the management is under I). T. Elmore, an experienced mining and mill man of twenty years in the mines and m H of the Pacific slope, especially in toe mines m N< v; du Thus tlie eompmy is assure 1 against the blunders and incompetency of an inexperienced inamige mc.it, which has neon the cause of so many mining failures all over the country. Mr. Elmore knows every de 1 ail necessary to the successful inaia<e ment of a mining property, which insures the best results from these mines. Regularly every month a shipment of silver bul lion has boon made from these mines through tha Tucson bankers to San Francisco. It is well known that a large amount of development and prospect ing has I c n going on. with the product of the mines paying all expenses, and the credit of the company the very best. This group of mines contains enough of rich min eral to make a flourishing bullion camp for many years to come,with sulcn<lid returns to the fortunate owners of the magnificent property. From the Arizona Weekly Enterprise, Aug. 16, 1887. Pinal county is famous for tlie extent ami perma nency of its mines, many of them being woit< o?s in their way, vi< 1 ting. rich returns to tin r foitunate owners ami constanlly improving with inrlherde vclopments. T.ie Silver King, the Vekol. the- Mam moth ami the mines of tin Tm tilita Gold nnd Silver Minin?. Company nt the Owi Heads are each steady producers, and they stand u]»on ’heir merits as bril liant examples of the successful industry—uot iut t cry—of mining. A representative of the Enterprise visited the Owt Heads this week and made a thorough <>x am I nation of tin- mines and the camp. The bullion produced and shipped .Ince the mill started closely approxi mates #175,000-—a most remarkable output under tht circumstances. The inerc u e In tho capacity of the mill Is a neceo sity that. Ihe success of the company now chiefly de pends upon, for the mines are capaoleoi supplying far more orc than such a mill can reduce.
