of my mental life is dated from ti e

and it is quite - asy to uud- rst -nd

how many people are then are in a

only to cry out in th- words of mv (

the head aches ami the I.eart. faints,
cry out in your exhaustion. “A great
multitude that no min can num

But my subject advances, and it
tells vou ot tiieir an-ecedents. “Os
all nations and people and kindred
and tongues.” Some of them spoke
Scotch, English, Irish, Swiss, S an
Ish, Italian, Clmctaw, Ismail Bur

by he accentuation from what part
or the earth the people have cable, s i
of those in 'll - t gr-'ar city of the sun

of othi r worlds the inhabitants hav ■
some. Ttmse reaped Sicilian wheat
fields, and those picked cotton from
the pods. Those, under troincal
skies, gathered tamarinds and yams.
These crossed the desert on camels,
ami these shot over h - snow, drawn
by Siberian dogs. These were plung

were confined in Lindon Tower.

Americans pref r a republic; in Eng
land they prefers limited monarchy;
in Austria they prefer an absolutism ;
but in that great land to which we go

words of my text. “O all nations
and kindred aid people aud ton

But, my subj ct advances, and it
'leseribes the dress of the gior tied
The object of drees in this world is
notonly to veil 'he body but to adorn
it. The God who twisted for the brow
of tha morning the blue ribbons of
the sky. and hung the ear jewels of
the dew or ips to the tree branch,
and flung tin- crimson mantle of the
cloud over 'he shomdr r, and slipper
ed withvioleted green grass the fee,'
ot the spring m irniug—surely that
God does not despise ornate anp rrel.
Mv text says they are in white. In
this world often we wear working ap
parel. It is always a sign of grey
wickedness on the part of a man i
ne ie ashamed to he f und in the
working appa-el. Brighter glisten
ing dress would be all out of place in
me banking house, or in the factory,
or delving in the mine, or sweltering
at the. f rge, or binding the books,
Iu this world we must have on work
day apparel. But when our w rk is
all done, and these hands are folded
from earthly toil, and the chariots
are all fashion.-d, and the temples
are all finished, and the mansions are
all done, no more use for working
day appar- 1 We shall bo cloth d
in white. In this world we open have
to wear garments of mom nirig. Black
scarf for the arm, black gl ves for
the hands black veil for the face,
black band for the hat, Abraham
mourning for Sarah. Isaac mourn
ing for Rebecca. Rachel mourning
for her children. David mourning
fir Absalom. Maty mourning for
Laz true. Every second ot every
day a heart breaks. From zone to
zone and from pole to pole the earth
is cleft, with sepulchral rent, and it
is no wond.-r that the earth can so
early bloom ano blossom, for it is so
rich with mouldering life—graves,
giaves, graves! But our bereave
ments all over, our partings ended,
and standing in reunion with our
low d and iepirre 1 ones, what m ire
need of mourning weeds? It will be
white. A poo In very quaint style,
an anonymous poet, describes the
s ui going cut of ■ his darkness into

But my subject advances, and it
tells you the symbols they carry. It
my text, had said th'-y carried
branches of cypress—that would
h ive meant, sorrow, ll’tlie text had
said that t hey carried nights had.;—
thit would have meant; in. 1' it had
said they carried weeping willows —
that would have meant mourning.
But no. Palm branch! “I beheld, a
great multitude clothed with white
robes, and palms in ttieir ban is.’
Iu olden tirn< s when a conqu-rer
came home from vic'orous battle, he
rode ot the head ot the army and un
der the triumphal arch, and the peo
ple would come out wiih the tr.um
phal arch, and the p ople would
come out witn branch s of the palm
ree and ware 'h- in in the line ot the
line of the retina.g host, and that
it meant victory. Wriat. a suggestive
symbol to our eouk! Itie glorified
look back and th y remember the
burden they carried. They look back
and i hey remember the glorious res
cue G >d wrought out in their banks,
aud they are exultant before the
ihrone. waving their palms. They
kneel at the fe tof Christ and they
think of His wounds and his suffer
ings in iheir behalf, and they say,
“This is the Christ who wept mv
griefs; this is the C.irist who bound
my wounds: this is the Chti't who
di d my death,” and th y wilt rise
and stand waving their palms. That

My t. xt advances one s'ep more
and sp aks of their song. Dr. Dick
declared in oneot his learned woike
that he thinks the inhabitants of
heaven will spend much of their time
in the study of arithmetic and the
higher branches of mathematics. I
hope we will not all have to go into
t. s'udy. there is no charm in
such a t bought as that to me. 1 pre
fer the sta ement of my text that it is
to be e erual pealmodv. “Crying
with a lou i voice, Salvation to our
Go I and unto the Limb,” In this
world we have secular songs, and
nursery songs, and harvest songs,
and boa’m-.m’s songs, and sentiment
al sinus; but the greatest song of
he.’ivt n, according to my text, will be
salvation tram death and bell uuto
eternal life through the blood of the
Lamb. “They cried wi'h a loud
voice, Salvation unto our God and
unto the Lamb.” I a soul en er
ing heaven, and the loved on f 'S who
proceed it gather around and hail
the newly arrived a d they say,
“What shall we sing?” and the ne-v
--ly arrived says, “.Sing salvation;”
and after a while there >s a chain of
apprehension snapped, there is a
throne of despotism destroyed, or
the church of Jesus Carist on earth
gains some great victory,’and the an
gels before th« throne cry, “What
shall we sing?” and the multitude
around about the thron ■, “Sing sal

militant will rush up into the arms
of the church triumphant, aud while
the riglpeous a:e ascending, and the
world is burning, and ail things are
being wound up, the cry will ba lift
.■ i. "What shall we sing?” and there
will come up a response like the voice
of many waters, and like the voice ot
mightv thunderings. “Sing salva

sometimes their eyesight was extin
guished by the brilliancy ot the
room, the gold and the glitter of the
prei i us s ones, and therefore the
janitor wilt n he intro luce 1 strangers
into that room always said to them:
“Take heed to your eyes.” The
stranger entered that room with
shaded vision. But, O! my friends,
when the song of the redeemed rises
about the throne, many voiced aud
multitudinous, you take heed of your
ears—the song so loud and so stupen
dous. They sing a rock song, say
ing. “Who is He that snel’ered us in
tue wilderness, and was the shadow
ot a great rock in a weary land?” and
the chorus comes in, “Christ, the
shadow ot a great rock in a weary
laud.” They sing a star song, say
ing, “Who 1s He that guided us
through the night, and wbi n all oth
er lights went out shone on us the
morning stir for the world’s dark
ness?” and the chorus will come in,
“Christ, the Morning Star for the
world’s darkness.” They s'ng a
flower song, saying, “Who is Hethat
brightened the way for us and
breathed perfume into our soul, and
bloomed on through frost and tern
pes ?” and the response, the chorus
will come in, “Christ, the Lily of the
Valley, blooming through frost and
tempest,” Yes, thev sing a water

and the chorus will come in. “Christ,

Are we to day rehears!; g for it? A
good Christian woman, dying in a
house near the village churcu where
every Saturday nigh. the choir met

but it. was Wednesday night and
they were not at rehearsant. I i her

"it isn’t Saturday night; hay are.not
rehearsing; it is Wednesday night.”
“On!” she replied, “you are mis
taken ; it is Saturday night and they
are rehearsing now the song.” Yes.
it was the lehearsal of a song, but
not the song of heaven. Wi l our

THEMYSfiIOUSPATIENT.
A physician's story.
I had graduated in the spring of 187-
from the College of Physicians and bur
geons in New York, and was pronounced
by it capable of taking human health,
and even life, into my hands. 1 spent
many hours in pondering the question
how 1, an unknown man, was to secure
the position and practice I had resolved
to win. Fortunately 1 was not a desti- ,
lute of means as of patients, so I resolved
at once to take a line office} on Madison |
avenue, to have my coupe at the door
after office hour and to go in and out as (
though overcrowded with calls. This (
was nothing more nor less than nd ver- j
tising, but it was not of the tabooed t
kind.
One evening in midsummer —for I al- (
lowed myself no vacation that year—l t
was sitting in my inner office when the ,
sound of a carriage slopping at my door. ■
und immediately afterward steps hurry- :
ing up the stoop, arrested my attention.
My office boy ushered a man in the (
waiting-room. 1 detained him long
enough to indulge my sense of impor |
tance, then rang for the boy to bring him
to me.
“Confound ill” exclaimed my visitor.
‘‘lf I had known you’d keep me wait- ‘
ing, I’d have gone ssmewhere else! Come t
now with me!”
“Where?” I asked.
“No matter now. I’ll tell you as we
go. Il’s a case requiring desperate '
haste.”
1 took my hat and followed my im- 1
perious visitor into the carriage. He
gave a hurried order to the coachman, '
and we dashed off.
“What is the case?” I asked.
“Thai’s for you to tell me, if you
know anything about your business,” 1
was the testy and unexpected reply.
My companion was a man of about
foriy years. His face would have been t
noble except for an expression of self- t
will, which almost ruin 'd it. His bear-1 <
ing was that of a man of the world: his i
manners almost—though not quite—those {
of a gentleman. As he had relapsed into (
silence after his last reply, 1 followed his
example, and sat quietly awaiting the *
next turn of affairs.
The carriage slopped at a plain brick ,
house in a quiet neighborhood. Before i
the wheels had ceased to turn, my com- j
panion open the door, and with the one
word “Come!” led me up the steps. ,
The door was immediately opened (
from within, and we ascended to the sec- t
ond story. What was my amazement to (
find myself in an apartment furnished ,
notonly luxuriously, but with rare mag- t
nificence.
I probably hesitated a moment on the {
threshold, tor my companion again said ’
“Come,” in the imperious tone with j
which I had grown familiar, and turned ,
to the bed. (
There lay my patient—a young girl |
about eighteen. Her large blue eyes, ,
dulled With disease, were staring uncon- t
sciously before her. Her long golden ,
hair was tossed over the pillow, looking t
like a halo around the beautiful head. t
Who was this man who, with a middle- f
aged woman, was the only apparent
guardian of such youth and loveliness?
But the case was so serious I scon put ‘
aside every thought not connected with '
the patient. To my occasional questions ‘
the nurse gave me replies as brief as the ’
man had given. (
I wrote my prescription, gave the
necessary directions tor the night, saying
I would call early in the morning, ami 1
rose to leave. Tne man followed me lo c
the door.
“What’s your fee?” said be.
I told him.
He pul a bank note into my hand, say'
ing:
“Come early to morrow. Give the case '
every attention. I’ll make it worth your ‘
while.”
1 judged from his tone that he was pleas- £
ed with my appearance, and ventured to
ask if the lady was his wife.
ü bhe b your patient. You need know ’
nothing further,” was his curt reply.
I bowed and went out into the night.
The carriage was waiting, so 1 entered it 5
and was soon at home.
While 1 was taking my breakfast next
morning the office boy entered the room 1
and said:
“Tne carriage is waiting, sir.”
Instinct told me what carriage it was. s
I went at once, anxious io know the eF 1
sects of my prescription on my mysterious
patient.
Daylight showed only more plainly than J
night had done the humble exterior of the s
bouse and its unfashionable neighborhood.
The door, as on the previous night was 1
opened immediately on my presenting my* 1
self. (
1 ascended the stairs and entered the
chamber door.
My visitor of the night before nodded a 1
formal recognition, which 1 returned with
equal difference as I went to the bed.
No light of intelligence beamed trom the
beautiful eyes that wandered restlessly •
around the room. There was less fevei,
and in several ways my lovely patient
seem to be in a more favorable condition
than when I first saw her. 1 gave my di*
rections and rose to depart.
As before, the man met me as as I passed
out and put a bank note into my hand.
Was to prepare the way for his sudden dis
appearance at any time he might choose to
go? 1 suspected it wan.
For several weeks I continue ! my visits.
Although the conditions of general health
improved, I was not satisfied with the re
sults of my treatment on the disease. There
were fluctuations which at times encour
aged me, but the disease was obstinate and
would not yield.
During all this time I had no knowledge
of these people or their relations to each
other.
It was evident that they wished to con
ceal themselves from tneir friends, and I
always feared there was something wrong
about it.
But that was none ot my business. It
was my duty, however, if possible, to find
the cause of this lovely girl’s illness, as ir
was evident that 1 needed this to aid me in
; securing her recovery. So I asked for a
private interview with the man whom 1
■ had to myself called Cerberus.
Very reluctantly he led me to a room be*
low, the condition of which showed that all
the house was not furnished as the young '
lady’s apartments were. My companion |
neither took a seat nor invited ine to do
so.
“Sir,” said I. “it is necessary, it the pe*
culiar cerebral condition of my patient is to
be successfully tieated, that I should know
more than Ido of its cause; also whether
there are hereditary tend incies which com
plicate it.
He looked up at me fiercely, and, coming
close, shook his list in my face, saying al
(he same tune:
“That's nothing but curiosity! You doc
tor’s pretend to understand disease, and to
be able to cure it, yet you will let a soul
like this lie in darkness rather
(han do your best without knowing its se
crets! I scorn you all Go!”
He turned from the room, leaving me
standing there alone. I left the house with
the feeling that I should not re-enter it.
Evidently my services were no longer de
sired, and I was convinced that they could
be ot no great value unless I could have
the information 1 had sought in vain.
What was my astonishment that evening
to see the woman whom 1 had always
found by the bedside of my mysterious pa*
lient come into rny room. She was a most
respectable woman, and I had been pleased
with the intelligence with which she had
nursed her charge. Startled, 1 said, “Is she
worse? ’
‘•She is the same, doctor.” was the reply
in a quiet, even a dull tone. “ There may
be no chance for her ever to be better,
but if you knew a!l about her, perhaps
you could help her more. I have come to
tell you.”
“Had permission to do this?” I asked;
though 1 confess that 1 was suffering as
keen pangs of curiosity as 1 have ever ex
perienced.
•‘No,” was her reply; “but it is right for
you to know. You have done moie lor
my young lady than any other doctor has
Perhaps vou can cure her if vou know
all.”
I told her to take a seat, and prepared to
listen.
“1 was nurse to my young lady's moth
er,” began the woman; -and wnen she was
married, as she was at seventeen, 1 went to
live with her. Oh. she was so gay and
happy, and her husband so proud of her!
She loved every beautiful’ thing, and he
made her home like a fairy palace. Just
before her baby was born —she that is my
young lady now—he one morning was go*,
ing to ride. The horse was one he had
just bought, and was a wild cieature. In
some way it became frightened, and threw
my master, so that his head struck the
sharp corner of the stone step, and he was
killed.
“My mistress saw it all. for she was
standing there waiting to kiss her pretty
hand lo him as he rode away. At first we
thought he was only stunned, but tne doc
tors— we had three—shook their heads
from the first and soon everybody saw there
was no hope. My mistress was almost
overcome with grief and horror. A month i
later her baby was born. The poor little
thing never laughed like other babies.
‘•When she was three days old her mam
ma died, and I took charge of the child.
She was always gentle and sweet, but never
gay as her mamma used to be. Often she
would say to me; ‘Nurse, I wish 1 could
be merry like other children; but everything
seems so sad. Why is it?’
‘•When she was old enough I told her
the story of her papa and mamma and of
their sad death. O», how abo curd, poor
dear. ‘1 remember it all,’ she said, look
ing up through her tears. T have seen il
all in my dreams, very, very often, but I
did not understand it. ’
“On her last birthday she was of the same
age her mamma was when she was born.
Tne night before she was very sad, and had
made me tell her the whole painful story of
her parents’ death over again. In the morn
ing she had disappeared, and after a long ;
search 1 found her at the house where she
was born, but which had been closed for so i
many years. Tnere she sat, my poor child, 1
her beautiful face shadowed in gloom, her 1
finger pointing to the stone which had kill*
ed her papa. When I tried to rouse her, 1
found that her reason had gone.
‘ That was three months ago, sir. The
gentleman who is with her is her guardian,
and he is very anxious that it should never
be known (hat she has been mad, for it
would ruin her future, poor deal! So ue
cams here and hid ourselves where we
knew nobody could find us. He made her
rooms like tnose at home, so that every*
thing should be familiar to her when con
sciousness should return. He won’t give
her name or his to any one, lor fear ot
their being remembered when she’s well
again ”
I asked several questions of a profession*
al nature, and then said there was a chance
of rousing the sufferer by a shock; that
heretofore I had tried lo do this by keeping
her calm; how, if I were to continue in
charge of her case, I should try another
method.
She entreated me to do so, and to ignore
the dismissal I had received from the guar
dian that morning.
“Has she.” 1 asked, “no dear friend? Is
there not some one whose piesence would
stir her pulses if she were well? ’
The woman hesitated, but said:
“Yes, she has a lover. He is is not fa
vored by her guardian, who has other plans
for her, but they love each other truly,
and g.ief at being forbidden to see him had
a great deal to do with her illness.”
“Then we must woik secretly in bringing
him here, must we not?” I asked. “Will
it defeat our purpose if we take the guar
dian into our confidence?”
“It will not do to tell him anything,”
she said.
“Can you give me the lover’s address?”
She did so, and I saw that a day or two
must elapse before he could reach New
York even if I telegraphed at once.
“1 will continue the case a little longer, ’
said 1. “If this effort fails, 1 will resign if
to more competent hands ”
The woman bowed and rose to leave.
I noticed that she veiled her face closely,
and drew around her one of those nonde
script garments ladies call waterproofs.
I waited impatiently for morning though
many of the intervening hours were spent
in studying recorded cases similar to that
of my patient.
At last the hour for my visit came. I de
cided to make it without explanation, as
though it were expected.
1 found things as usual in the sick-room.
Cerberus look surprised, but 1 thought re
lieved at my appearance. Tne nurse
gave no sign of any understanding between
us.
I tried to fix the wandering eye of rny
patient by a resolute look in my own, and
was glad lo see that this evidently disturb*
ed her.
Holding her attention in this way I spoke
one or two words, to which she seemed to
listen, and then broke away Iroui the re
straint.
It was a disadvantage not to know her
name, as the sound of it would have ar
rested her attention more than anything
eise. But 1 found that she could be held
lor a moment at a time. 1 changed the en
tire plan of my prescriptions, and, telling
the nurse that I wanted her to call her mis*
tress distinctly by name every time she
gave*her medicine or refreshment, went
away.
Tnat evening I was glad to see some
slight changes, indicating that my plan was
working well.
On my return home I wrote to the ab
sent lover, telling him all I thought nec
essary, and urging him to come home at
once. Meantime I would do my best with
my patient
It was at midnight, two days later, when
I was aroused from my sleep by a furious
ringing of (he night bell. In answer to my
inquiries a voice, eager, even hoarse, with
emotion, cried to me;
“For heaven’s sake, doctor, come down |
I and tell me how and where she i-!”
I then knew that my visitor was my pa- |
: tient's lover. Though the tender passion i
had not yet touched me, I sympathized!
with the young man’s feelings strong 1
enough to go to him as soon as possible. ,
I found him exhausted, mentally as well
as physically. For three months, ever I
since the mysterious disappearance of the '
young lady, he had wandered over the
country in search of her, following traces
which had led him tar astray.
My first duty was evident, and I offered
him such refreshments as 1 could command.
But he would touch nothing till I assured
him of the safety of his Madeline— for this
was her name.
I told him how the case had been
brought to me; how my treatment of it had
failed; how I depended on him to aid me
now,
“We must,’, I continued, “find an hour
when the guardian is out. Then we will go
to the room, and you will greet her sudden
ly, but quietly. We will see what the ef
fect will bu.”
It was so late, I persuaded Mr. Howland
—that was his name, Horace Howland—to
lie upon my lounge during the remainder
of the night. On my return to my room I
wrote the following note to the nurse.
“Mr. Howland has come. We must see
the young lady when her guardian is out,
Put one of these cards in the window to tell !
me at what time we shall call.”
1 inclosed cards with the various hours ;
of the day marked distinctly on them. 1;
then retired to sleep.
It was with a snese of relief that I saw
the sun shining when I awoke—all nervous [
conditions are so much more favorably ■
met on a blight than on a dull day.
Mr- Howland was sleeping as I passed
through the room, Poor fellow! how hag- ■
gard and pale he was! But I saw that his
lace and head were noble.
1 made my morning call at the ear
liest hour I could. My lovely patient was
belter in every way. Her sleep had been
refreshing, and she was more atten
tive to wtiat I said than she Lad been ,
before.
Her guardian stood by as usual, and
1 found il difficult to give my note to i
•he nurse without attracting bis at- |
tenti )u, I accomplished it finally, I
nd made my exit. In about au hour i
I passed the house, and ou looking
up at tLie designated window, saw the
figures ”1—3.”
I was grata ful for the length of time
we could have for our experiment. I
hasiened to Mr. Howland. He seem
tuo miserable to be greatly cheered
by it; and, indeed, I could not won- (
der that his heart was despondent.
At precisely ten minutes past one
we we.eat the door. The nurseopen
ed it. and, saying: “It is ail safe.;
He will be gone till three,” took us;
upstairs. i
I told Mr. II >wiand to wait outside ,
tin I called him.
When I entered I found mv parent ‘
sitting i ian easy-chair, a picture of :
loveliness, if one excepted the rest- }

swoon, AU this was well; but how '
would she co ne out of the faint con
du ion?
Wo put her on the lounge, and as- ;
ter applying restoratives for a long 1
time, cousciousuess began to return, i
She opened h rey s, saw Horace j
standing at the foot of the lounge,
and tears began to How; then sobs—
strong, convulsive sobs —shook tier •
delicate frame. Tne nurse wanted to
check them, but I debited iu .ir cun- (
tie nance without restraint.
II r.c meant.me. had knelt at

into the awakened ear. She looked
into his lace with joy at last in her
eyes, and said:
‘’Horace.they told that a stone kill- ■
ed yuu,too.”
Then she fell into a peaceful sleep.
I knew it would last for hours, an I,
charging tne nurse to keep every
thing trom Cerberus,and to tell Mad- .

so exhausted that he yielded to my
entreaties to seek rest tor hims-ls.
I think I was as impatient for the .
hour or my evening visit as 1 have
ever been foranytning in life. I was
tiopeful, yet not confident, that my
plan had succeeded.
Ou entering the room I found my
pa ieot very weak, but reas >n had re
'tirned. She looked at me with intel
ligence, and answered my questions
regionally.
I whispered to her that Horace was
sleeping, but that lie would see her
the next day ir she was good aud

pily and evidently underst o l that
