DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. THE DOMESTIC CIRCLE. Text: '■‘Co hoi: e to thy frwyts and tell ■them how gr. nt thing- the Lord hath done for thee.”—Mark v., 19. Folliiwiug is the M>rnioo in full: There are a great many people longing for ■some grand sphere in which to serve God. They admire Luther at the Diet of Worms HU d only wish that they had some such great opportunity in which to display their Christian prowess. They admire I’aul making Felix tremble and they only wisli that they had some such grand occasion in which to preach righteousness, temperance aad judgment to come. Allthey want is an opportunity to exhibit t itir Christian hen>- ism. Now the Christ comes to us and he practically say s:“l will show you a place where you can exhibit all that is grand and beauti ful and glorious in Christian character, and that is the domestic circle." If one is not faithful in an insignificant sphere he will not be faithful in a resounding sphere. If Peter will not help the cripple at the gate of the temple he will never be able to preach three thousand souls into the kingdom at Pentacost: If Paul will not take trains to instruct in the way of salvation the jailer of the Philippian dungeon, he will never make Felix tremble. Ho who is not faithful in a skirmish would not be faithful in an artnageddon. The fact is we are all placed in just the position in which wo can most grandly serve God; and we ought uotto be chiefly thoughtful about some sphere of usefulness which we may after a while gain,but the all-absorbing question with you aud with me ought to be: “Lord, what wilt thou have me now and here to do'” Then is one word in my text arouud which the most of our thought w ill this morning re volve. That word is “home.” Ask ten dif ferent men the meaning of that word and they will give you teu different definitions. To one it means love at the hearth, it means plenty at the table, industry at the work stand, intelligence at the books, devotion at the altar. To him it means a greeting at the door and a smile at the chair. Peace hover ing like wings. Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Lase a tranquil lake. Pillowed on the ripples sleep the shadows. Ask another man what home is and he will tell you it is want looking out of a cheerless firegrate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray, the damp ait shivering with curses, no Bible on the shelf, children, robbers and murderers in embryo, obscene -ongs, their lullaby, every face a Pic ture of ruin, want in the background and sin staring, from the front. No Sabbath wave rolling over that doorsill, vestibule of the pit, shadow of infernal walls, furnace for forging everlasting chains, faggots for an unending funeral pile. Awful word! It is spelled with curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with woe, it sweats with the death agony of despair. The word “home” in the one case means everything bright. The word “home 1 ’ in the other case means everything terrific. I shall speak to you this morning of home as a test of character, home as a refuge, home as a political safeguard, home as a school and home as a type of heaven. And in the first place I remark thal home is a powerful test of character. The disposi tion in public may be in gay costume, while in private it is in dishabille. As play actors may appear in one way on the stage and may appear in another behind the scenes, so pre rate character maybe very different from public character. Private character is often public character turned wrong side out. A mac may receive you into his parlor as though he were a distillation of smiles, and yet ms heart may be a swamp of nettles. There are business men who all clay long are mild and courteous and genial and good-na tured in commercial life,damming back their irritability and their petulance anil their dis content. but at nighttail the dam breaks aud scolding pours forth in floods and freshets. Reputation is the only shadow of character, and a very small house sometimes will cast a very long shadow. The lips may seem to drop w ith myrrh and cassia, and the disposition to lie a> : igbt and warm as a sheaf of sunbeams, and yet they may only be a magnificent show window to awret -hed stock of goods. There is many a man who is affable in public life and amid commercial spheres who, in a cow ardly way, takes his anger and his petulance home and drops them on the domestic cir cle. The reason men do not display their bad temper in public is because they do not want to be knocked down. There are men who hide their petulance and their irritability juet for the same reason that they do not le’t their notes go to protest; it does not pay: or for tin same reason they do not want a man in their stock company' to sell his stock at less than the right price lest it depreciate the value As at sometimes the mind rises, so at'tei a sunshiny day there may be a temp- t .ious night. There are people who in pubbi act the philanthropist, who at home act toe Nero,with respeettotheirslippers aud their gown. Audubon, the great ornithologist, with gun aud pencil, went through the forests of Ameuea to bring down and to sketci the beautiful, birds, and af ter years of toil and expense completed his manuscript and put it in a trunk in Philadelphia and went off for a few days < ■ re reation aud rest, nnd came la-.-k and found that the rats had utterly destroyed the manuscript, but without any discompos ure and without any fret or bad temper, he •gam picked up his gun and pencil and vis ited again all the great forests of America * ♦ / ef ' roducefl his immortal work. And yet there are people with the ten thousand th wart of that loss who are utterly irreeon- ila- Ue. who, at the loss of a pencil or an article of raiment will blow as long and loud and shaj] as a northeast storm. Now. that man who is affable in public and who is irritable in private is making a fraudulent overissue of stork and he is as bad as a ban’; that might have four or five hun dred thousand dollars of bills in circulation with i.< -pecie in the vault. Let us learn to show piety at home. If we have it not there we have it not anywhere. If we nave it not there, we have it not any where. If we have not genuine grace in the family i ir-le all our outward and public plan‘ii ..ity merely springs from a fear of the worlc or from the slimy, putrid pool of our own selfishness. I tell you the home is a might test of character. What you are at home you are everywhere, whether you de monstrate it or not.' Ar I’,” 1 ’,” T rf ' ,nar k that home is a refuge.

Now, youth and childhood are new ground and idi the iufluenees thrown over ! their h’ irt and life will come up in after life luxuriantly. Every time you base given a sin.l.' of approbation-all the good eheer of your life will come up again the geniality of : your children, and everv ebullition, of anger and every uncontrollable display of indigna tion «ill oe fuel to their disposition twenty ■ or thirty or forty yeans from now— j fuel for a bud lire a quarter of a ■ century from this. You praise ‘he intelligence of your child too much some times when you think he is not aware of it, ' aud you will <■• lhe result of it before teu vears of age in hi- annoying affectations. i You praise his beauty, supposing ho is not ; large enough to understand what you say, and you will find him standing on n high chair before a flattering mirror. Words aiid deeds and example are the seed of character, andyhildren are very apt to bo the second i edition of th ir parents. Abraham begat • Isaac, so virtue is apt to go down in the an cestral line; but Her. d begat Archelaus, so iniquity is transmitted. What vast respon { sßiility comes upon parents in view of this j subject! Oh. make your home the brightest place on earth if you would charm your children to the high path of virtue and rectitude and re ligion. Do not always turn the blinds the wrong way. Let the light which puts gold on the gentian and spots the pansy pour into your dwellings. Do * not ex)>ect the little feet to keep step to a dead ! march. Do not cover up your walls with such pictures as West’s “Death on a Pale Horse” or Tintorettos “Massacre of the Innocents." Rather cover them, if yon have pictures,with “The Hawking Party.” and “The Mill bv the Mountain Stream,” and “The Fox Hunt,’’and “The Children Amid Flowers,” and “The Harvest Scene,” aud “The Saturday Night ( Marketing.” Get you no hint of cheerfulness from grass hopjw's leap, and lamb's frisk, and quail’s whistle and garrulous streamlet which from , the rock at the mountain top clear down to the meadow ferns under The shadow of the steep, comes looking for the steepest place to leap off at, and talking just to hear itself talk. If all the skies hurtled with tempestand everlast ing storm wandered over the sea, and every mountain stream wen o raving mad, frothing at th • mouth with mud foam and there were nothing but simoons blowing among the hills, and there were neither larks’ carol nor humming-birds' trill, nor waterfall’s dash, but only a bear s bark and panther’s scream and wolf’s howl, then you might well gather ! into your homes only the shadows. But ' when God has strewn the earth and heavens with beauty and with gladness, let us take into our home circles all innocent hilarity, all brightness aud all good cheer. A datk home makes bad boys and bad girls in prep aration for bad men and bad women. Above all, my friends, take into your homos Christian principle. Can it be that in any of the comfortable homes of my congregation the voice of prayer is never lifted? What! No supplication at night for protection? What' no thanksgiving in the morning for care? How, my brother, my sister, will you answer God in the day of judgment with reference to your children? It is a plain question, and therefore I ask it. In the tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says He will pour out, His fury ujion the families that call not upon His name. Oh, parents, when you are dead and gone, and the moss is covering the inscription of your tombstone will your children look back and think of father and mother at fam i ily prayer! Will they take the old family Bible and open it and see the mark of tears of contrition aud tears of consoling promise wept by eyes long before gone out into dark ness? Oh, if you do not inculcate Christian principle into the hearts of your children,aud you do not warn them against evil, and you do not invite them to holiness and to God, and they wander off into dissipation and in fidelity, and at last make shipwreck of their immortal soul on their death-bed, and in their day of judgment they will curse you! Seated by the register or the stove, what if on the wall should come out the history lof your children. What a history— the mortal and immortal life of your loved ones. Every parent is writing the history of his child. He is writing it, composing it into a song or turn ing it into a groan. My mind runs back to one of the best of early homes. Prayer, like a roof over it. Peace, like an atmosphere in it. Parents, personifications of faith in trials and comfort in darkness. The two pillars of the earthly home long ago crumbled to dust. But shall I ever forget that early home? Yes, when the flower forgets the sun that warms it. Yes. when the mariner forgets the star that guide I him. Yes, when love has gone outon the h 'arfs altar and memory has emptied its j urn into forgetfulness. Then, the home of ' my childhood, I will forget thee: the family altar of a father’s importunity and a mother's ■ tenderness, the voices of affection, the fun- erals of our dead father and mother with interlocked arms like intertwining branches of trees making a perpetual arbor of love and peace and kindness—then I will forget thee—then and i only then, you know, my brother, that a hundred times you have been kept out of sin I by the memory of such ascene as I have been I describing. You have often hail raging temptations, but you know what has held you with supernatural grasp. 1 tell you a I man who has had such a good home as that never gets over it, and u man who has had a bad early home never gets over it. Again I remark that home is a type of heaven. To bring us to that home Christ left his home. Far up and far back in the history of heaven there came a period when its most illustrious citizen was about to absent him self. He was not going to sail from beach to beach; we have often done that. He was not going to put out from one hemisphere to an other hemisphere; many of us have done that. But h ■ was to sail from world to world, the place- unexplored and the immensities un traveled. Noworld had ever hailed heaven and heaven never had hailed any other world. I think that the windows and the lialconies were thronged and that the p-arline beach was crowded with those who had come to see Him sail out the harlxir of light into the o“eans be yond. Out and out and out and on and on and on and down and down and down He sped until one night with only one to greet Him He arrived. His disembarkation so un pretending, so quiet that it was not known on earth until the excitement in the cloud gave intimati >n that something grand and glorious had hap > no 1. Who comes there? From what port did he sail? Why was this : the place of his destination! I question the , shepherds, I question the camel drivers, I questi:on the angels. I have found out. He was an exile. But the world has had plenty I of exiles. Abraham an exile from Ur of Chaldee, John an exile from Ephesus, | Koscinsco an exile from Poland, Mazzini an I exile from Rome, Emmett an exile from Ire- i land,Victor H.ig > an exile from France, Kos- I 1 sutb an exile from Hungary. Bit this one of whom I speak to-day had such resounding ( farewell, and came into such chilling yecep- i tion. for not even a hostler went out with hb > 1 lantern to help him in; that he is more to lx ; r celebrated than any other ex patriated one ol : earth or heaven. 1 It is niroty-flve million miles from here to , ' the sun, and all astronomers agree in saying that our solar system Is only one of ths small 1 ivhoels of the great machinery of the universe turning around some one great center, the : cent. ■ so far distant it is beyond all imagina- I tion and calculation, and if, us some think, the groat center in the distance is heaven, Christ came far from home when He came ; here. Have you ever thought of the home sickneis of Christ? Some of you know what homesickness is wdion you have lieen only a . few w-ceks absimt from the domestic circle. .Mirist was thirty-three years away from Jx 'm>. Some of you feel homesickness when yix nro a hundred or a thousand miles away jrc.’A th® domestic circle. Christ was more mill.ix "'s of miles away from home than you cnnilf calculate all your life if you did notlK but calculate. You know what it is lo be.homesick even amid pleasurable snrrnnnriiT\Ts. but Christ slept in huts, and he was athirst, .and ho was ahungered and he was on the w.a V from living born in another man’s barn to L'Oing buried in another man's grave. I hsvoreai,’ how the Swiss, when they are far away from tltoir native country, at the sound of thnfr notional air get so homesick that thev fall into miNarr'hnly and sometime I they die under the homesickness. But ' oh, the homesickness of Christ! Poverty I homesick for celestial riches. Persecution ■ homesick for hosanna. Wearinasss home- : s'ck for rest. Homesick for angelic and arehangelie companionship. Homesick to get out of the night and the storm and the world’s execration and all that homesickness j suffered to get us home! At our best estate we arc only pilgrims and strangers here “Heaven is dur Home.” Death will never kno -k at the door of that mansion, and in all that country there is not 1 single grave. How glad parents nre in holiday times to gather their children home again. But I have noticed that there is al most always a son or a daughter absent—ab sent from home, perhaps absent from the country, perhaps absent from the world. Oh, how glad our heavenly Father will be when he gets all his children home with him in heaven. And how delightful it will bo for brothers nnd sisters to meet after long sepa ration. Once they are parted at the door of the tomb; now theymeet at the door of im mortality. Once they saw only through a glass darkly; now it Is face to face; corrup tion, incorruption: mortality, immortality. Where are now all their sins and sorrows and troubles? Overwhelmed in the Red Sea of Death while they passed through dry shod. Gates of pearl, capstones of amethyst, thrones of dominion do not stir my soul so much as the thought of home. Once there let earthly sorrows howl like storms and roll like seas. Home I Let thrones rot and empires wither. Home! Let the world die in earthquake struggle nnd be buried amid procession of planets and dirge of spheres. Home! everlasting ages roll in irresistible sweep. Home! No sorrow, no crying, no tears, no death. But home. <weet home,beautiful homo,everlasting home, mine with each other, jhome with angels, gome with God. One night Iving on my (lounge when very tired, my childr m all around about me iii full romp and hilarity and laughter—on the lounge, half awake nnd half asleep, I dreame.l this dream: I was in a far country. It was not Persia, although more than oriental luxu riance crowned the cities. It was not th tropics although more than tropical frivtfu'- aess filled the gardens. It was not Ttelv. »l though more than Italian softness filled the air. And I wandered around looking for thorns and nettles, but I foun I that none of them grew there and' Isaw the sun rise and 1 watched to see it set but it sank not. And I saw the people iu holiday attire and I said: “When will thev put off this and put on workmen's garb and again delve in the mine oi swelter at the forge?” But they never put off the li diday attire. And I wandered in the suburbs of the city to find the place where the dead sleep, and I looked all along the lin" of the beautiful h'lls. the place where the dead might most blissfully sleep, and I saw towers aud castles, but not a mausoleum or a mo iiiment or a white, slab ■onld I see. Aud I went into the chapel of the great town and I said: “Where do the ooor worship.and where are the hard benches an which thev sit?” And the answer was made me, “We have no poor in this coun try.” And then I wandered out to find the hovels of the dostitut •. and I found mansions of amber and ivory and gold, but not a tear could I see, not a sigh could I hear, and I was bewildered, aud I sat down* 1 under the branches of a great tree and said: “ Where am I? And whence comes all this sc .me?" And then out from among the leaves awl up the flowery paths and across the bright streams there came a beautiful group thronging all alxiut toe, and as Isaw them come I thought I know their step, and as they shouted I thought I knew their voices, but then they were so gloriously arraiTOd in apparel such as I never before witnessed, that I bowed as stranger to stranger. But. when again, they clapped their hands and shouted “welcome! welcome!’’ the mystery ml vanished, and I found that time had gone aud eternity had come, and we were all together again in our new home in heaven, andll looked around, and I said: “Are wo all lere?” And the voices of many generationssß-esponded: “all hero!” And while tearwiof gladness were raining down our ch:eks»jtnd the branches of the Izdianon cedars wi»-« clapping their hands, and the towers of/th e great city were chiming their welcome, we all together began to leap and shout arfU sing: “Home! home! home! home!’ The Wonders of Phrenology. j I I K ■ J nk»> Fl H J 0 '1 1 M Mlf 1- 'BaAl “Enormous power of concentration.

Nrnnoole, If wc did not know it to-be so, it would be hard to believe that any animal could make its home in the midst ®f the almost perpetual snow and ice of the far north. And yet many more animate than are generally supposed to do so live in that intense cold, and have accommodated themselves to their surroundings. For example, the mosquito has been found as far north as man has ever gone. The white bear deserves attention for the manner in which it has adapted itself to its strange ihode of life. It is not called an amphibious animal, but might probably be so called, for it is perfectly at home in the water—indeed it has been known to pursue and capture so nimble a fish as the salmon. The polar bear’s foot is unusually long and broad even for a bear’s foot, and this peculiarity aids in enabling it to swim so rapidly. But the great foot is of most use in crossing the slippery ico or crusted snow. The under part of the foot is covered with long, soft fur, which answers the double purpose of keeping the foot warm in spite of constant con tact with the cold ice, and of preventing the awkward slipping which would cer tainly occur if the sole of the foot were hard and smooth. As a rule, the white bear avoids man and exerts all its strength and cunning in capturing its prey. It prefers some mem ber of the seal family, probably because the seals are usually so plump and tender. Apparently a baby walrus is a choice mor sel for it, for it never neglects an oppor tunity of pouncing on one. In the water, the walrus would be more than a match even for the polar bear, its huge tusks and terrible strength making it the most formidable of sea mammals; but on the ice, despite the fierce courage with which both parents fight fortheir offspring, the battle is too unequal, and the unlucky little walrus, caught napping, usually falls a victim to the big bear. And it frequently happens that one or both of the parent-walruses are killed in the vain attempt to rescue their baby. Nennook, as the white boar is called by the Esquimaux, frequently displays great cunning in capturing the wary seal, which, fearing its enemy, takes its nap on the ice close by the edge, ready to roll into the water at the first alarm. The bear slips quietly into the water a long distance from the sleeping seal, and then swims under water, stopping occasionally to put out his head and breathe, until he is in such a position that the seal can not get into the water without fulling into his clutches.— St. Nicholat. The Seal. We all know that the seal is a mam mal just as much as a bear or a wolf, and that it breathes the air and is warm blooded. Its skull is that of a mammal, not a fish, and its whole skeleton is, from an anatomical point of view, identical with its cousins on the land. Its flip pers and its tail are but modified hand* and feet, and in them all the bones of the leg and foot, as well as the arm and hand, can be plainly seen. It is a step between the whale and the otter, and ■hows us how surrounding circumstances can change the external structure. In deed, it is one of the chief and important steps in evolution so well marked thal there can be no doubt of its significance. However important this may be to man, it is the most unfortunate thing that could happen to the seal. The very fact of its being warm blooded is the cause of its persecution. We need the skins and we need the fat that the poor seals are obliged to have to protect themselves from the cold. If they were cold blooded, like fishes, the temperature of their body could be made to change to suit sue rounding circumstances without incon venience to themselves. But this is nol possible to warm blooded animals; the; must keep their blood up to a certair temperature, and to do this in the cole regions of the Arctic they have to b clothed in layers of fur and fat, the tw best possible heat retainers. A noth', thing to their disadvantage is that thej have to come to the surface to breathe and have to bring forth their young 01 the ice or on land. Thus, while the; high position in the animal scale serve as a protection against their lower ene rales, it brings them within the reach o ! that dread foe of all animals, man, wh has made such destructive inroads o some creatures, and now threatens thi most tender and harmless animal wit j the same fate.—Arto York Sun. !
