The comfortable popula would not think of touching it any more vou would think of eating a bat or a imurel Now, says Jesus, if God takes “ h good rare of a poor bird that is not worth a cent, won't he care for you, an im n'wT associate God with revolutions. We nsee n divine purpose in the discovery of America, in the invention of theart of priut- * in tlie exjiosure of the Gunpowder Plot, m the contrivance of the needle-gun, in the „.. n of au AusfrianorNanoleonicdetpotism; Ljt how hard it is to see God in th? minute nersonal affairs of our lives! We think of f I as making a record of the starry host, Lt cannot realize the Bible truth that He kn iws how many hairs are on our head. It Leins a grand thing that God provide.! food br hundreds of thousands of Israelites in the desert; but we eannot appreciate the truth that, when a sparrow is hungry, God stoops down and opens its mouth and puts the seed in. We are struck with the idea that God fills th? universe with His presence; but can not understand how He encamps in the crystal palace of the dewdrop, or finds room to stand, without being crowded, be tween the alabaster pillars of a pond lily. We can see God in the clouds. Can we see God in these flowers at our feet? We are apt 1 to pla-.e God on some great stage—or try to d 0 jt—expecting Him there to act out His stupendous projects; but we forget that the life of a Cromwell, an Alexander, or a Wash ington. or an archangel, is not more under divine inspection than your life or mine. Pompey thought there must be a mist over the eves of God because He so much favored C.irar. But there is no such mist. He sees every thing, We say God’s path is in the great waters. True enough I but no more certainly than He is in the water in the glass on the table. We say God guides the stars in their courses. Magnificent truth! but no more certain truth than that He decides which read or street you sh ill take in coming to church. Understand that God does not sit upon an indifferent or unsympathetic throne; but that He sits down beside you to-day, and stands beside me to-day, and no affair of our lives is so insignificant but that it is of im portance to God. In the first place, God chooses for us our cccupation. lam amazed to see how many people there are dissatisfied with the work they have to do. I think three fourths wish they were in some other occupation; and they spend a great d< al of time in regretting ttat they’ got in the wrong ti ade or profes sion. I want to tell you that God put into j operation all the influences which led you to that particular choice. Many of you are not in the business that you expected to be in. You started for the ministry, and learned merchandise; you started for the law, and you are a physician; you preferred agricul ture, and you are a mechanic. You thought one way; God thought another. But you ought not to sit down and mourn over the past. You are to remember that God—a Beneficent God, a kind God. a loving God— arranged all these circumstances by which you were made what you are. Hugh Miller says:' “I will lie a stone mason.’’ Godsays: ‘‘You willbea geologist.' 1 David goes out to tend his father’s sheep. God calls him to govern a nation. Saul goes out to hunt his father’s asses, and before he gets back finds the crown of mighty domin ion. How much happier would we "be if we were content with the places God gave us I God saw your temperament and all the cir cumstances by which you were surrounded, and I believe nine-tenths of you are in the work you are best fitted for. I hear a great racket in my wat?h, and I find that the hands and the wheels, and the springs are getting out of their places. I send it down to the jewelersand say: “Over haul that watch, and teach the w'heels and the spring and the hands to mind their own business.” You know a man having a large estate. He gathers his working hands in the morn ing, and says to one: “You go and trim that vine;” to another: “You go and weed those flowers;” to another: “You plow that tough glebe; 1 and each one goes to his particular work. The owner of the estate points the man to what he knows he can do best, and so it is with the Lord. He calls us up and points us to that field for w hick we are best fitted. So that the lesson for to-day, coming from this subject, is: “Stay cheerfully where God puts you.” I remark further; That God has arranged the place of our dwelling. What particular city or tow n, street or house you shall live in, seems to be a mere matter of accident. You go out to hunt for a house, ami you happen to pass up a certain street, and happen to see a sign, and you select that house. Was it all happening so? O, no! God guided you in every step. He foresaw the future. He knew all your circumstances, and be selected just that one house as better for you than any one of the ten thousand habitations in the city. Our house, however humble the roof and however lowly the portals, is as near God s heart as an Alhambra or a Kremlin. Prove it, you say? Proverbs iii., 33: “He blessed the habitation of the just.” I remark further, that God arranges nil eur friendships. You were driven to tho wall. You found a man just at that crisis who sympathized with you and helped you. You say; “How lucky I wa'4” There was no luck about it. God sent that friend just as certain as He sent the angel to strengthen Christ. Your domestic friends, your busi ness friends, vour Christian friends, God *nt them to bless you. and if any of them have proved traitorous it is only to bring out the value of those who remain. If some die, it is only that they may stand at the out post of Heaven to greet you at your coming. You always will have friends —warm- hearted friends, magnanimous friends: and when sickness comes to your dwelling there will be watchers; when trouble comes to your i heart there will be sympathizers; when death comes there will be gentle fingers to close the eyes and fold the hands, and gentle lips to tell of a resurrection. Oh, we are com passed by a body-guard of friends! Every man. if he has Behaved himself well, is sur rounded by three circles of friends—those of the outer circle wishing him well; those in the next circle willing to help him; while close up to his heart are a few who would die for him. God pity the wret -h who has not any friends! He has not behaved well. I remark, again, that God puts down the limit of our te:n[ioral prosperity. The world of finance seems tn have no God in it. You 'an not tell where a man will land. The as fluent fall; the poor rise; the ingenious fail; the ignorant succeed. An enterprise open ing grandly -huts in bankruptcy, while out of th» peat dug up from some New England marsh the millionaire builds his fortune. The poor man thinks it is chance that keeps him down: the rich min thinks it is chance which hoists him; and they are both wrong. I It is so hard to realise that God rules the money market, and has a hook in the nose of the stock gambler, and that all the commer cial revolutions of the world shall result in the very best for God’s dear children. My brethren, do not kick against the divine al lotments. God knows just how much money it is best for you to lose. You never gain unless it is best for you to gain. You go up when it it best for you to go up, and go flown when it is best t r you to go down. « , rr,ve it. you say? I will: Romans viii., 28: All things work together for good to them that love God.” You go to a factory, and you see twenty or thirty wheels as they are going in different directions. This hand is rolling off this way, and another hand an other way: one down, another up. You say: 'That confusion in a factory?'Oh, no! all t’ie e differin' hands are only different pa-ts of the ma 'bine y. So Igo into vour life and see st'ange thin ss. Here is one providence pulling y »i on? wav, a id another in another way. Hnf these are di Tierent parti of one uia-hiaerv, l>v which He will aiivance vour everUsting an I present well-bein;. Now you know tlia? a s>eonl mortgage, nnl a third an 1 fourth mortgage, is oft n worth nothing It is the first mortgage that is a good investme it. I have t > tell you that every Christian man ba. a first mortgnou every trial an 1 on every di n-t. r. and it must m ike a payment of eternal a 1 vantage to his soul. How many worriments it woul 1 take out of your heart if vou believed that fully. You bay goo Is and bone the pri -e will co up; but you are in a fret and a frownfor fear ths price will go down. Y’oudo not buv th? go.-sls. usp g vour tiest d scretion in the matter, and then say: “Oh. Lord! I have don? the I est I con’d. I commit thii whole transaction into Thv hands.” That is what relig on is good for. or it is goo 1 for nothing. There are two things, says an old proverb, you ought not to fret a’out: First, things that you can help; and, second, things which you can not help. If you <an help them, why do you not apily the remedy? If you can not help them, you might as well surrender first as last. My dear brethren, do no sit any longer moping about yo :r ledger. Do not sit looking so desponding upon your stock of unsalab’e goods. Do you think that God is going to allow you, a Chris tian man, to do business alone? God is the controlling partner in every firm: and although your debtors may abscond, although your securities m iv fail, although your store may burn, God will, out of an infinity of re sults, choose for you the very best results- Do not have any 'idea, that you can overstep the limit that God has laid down for your prosperity. You will never get one inch be yond it. God has decided how much pros perity you can stand honorably, and employ usefully, aud control righteously; and at the end of 188t>you will have just so many dollars and cents, just so much wardrobe, just so much furniture, just so many bonds and mortgages, and nothing more." I will give you 8100 for every penny beyond that. God ha- looked over your life. He knows what is best for vou. aud He is going to bless you in time and bless you for eternity; and He will do it in the best way. Y’our little child says: “Papa, I wish you would let me have that knife •” “No,” you say, “it is a sharp knife, and you will cut yourself.” He says: “I must have it.” “But you can not have it,” you reply. He gets angry and red in the face, and says he wit have it; but you say he shall not have it. Are you not kind in keeping it from him? So God treats His children. I say: “I wish, Heavenly Father, to get that.” Godsays: “No, my child.” I say: “I must have it.” God says: “You can not have it.” I get angry and say: “I will have it.” Godsays: “You shall not have it.” And 1 do not get it. Is He not kind aud lovingand the best of fathers ? Do you tell me there is no rule and regulation in these things ? Toll that to the men who believe in no God and no Bible Tell it not to me. A man of large business concludes to go out of bis store, leaving much of his invest ments in the business, and he says to his sons: “Now. lam going to leave this busi- ( ness in your bauds. Perhaps I may come ba k in a little while, ami perhaps not. While I am gone you will please to look after affairs.” After awhile the father conies back and finds everything at loose ends, ami the whole business seems to be going wrong ne says: “1 am going to take possession or this business—you know I never fully sur I rendered it; ami henceforth consider your selves subordinates. ” Is he not right in doing it? He saves the business. The Lord i seems to let us go on in life guided by our own skill, and we make miserable work of it. God comes down to our shop or our store and says: “Things are go ing wrong; I come to take charge, lam mas ter, and I know what is best, aud I proclaim my authority.” We are merely subordi nates. It is like a boy at school with a long sum that he cannot do. He has been working at it for horn’s, making figures here and rubbing out figures there, aud it is all mixed up; and the teacher, looking over the boy’s shoulder, knows that he eaunot get out of it, aud cleaning the slate, says: “Begin again.” Just so God does to us. Our affairs get into an inextricable entanglement, and He rubs everything out aud says: “Begin again?” Is He not wise ami loving in so doing? I think the trouble is that there is so large a difference between the Di vine and the human estimate as to what is enough. I have heard of people striving for that which is enough, but I never heard of any one who had enough. What God calls enough for man, mancalls too little. What man calks enough, Godsays is too much. The difference between a poor man and a rich man is only the difference in banks. The rich man puts his money in the Nassau Bank, or the Park Bank, or Fulton Bank, or some other bank of that character, while the poor man comes up and makes his investments in the bank of Him who runs a’l the quarries, all the mines, all the gold, all the earth, all heaven. Do you think a man ! can fail when he is backed up like that? I want to bring this truth close up to the heart of those people in this audience who have to calculate rigid economy, who are perplexed how they will make the old gar ment hold out a little longer, with whom the great question is not which is the best invest ment or the most lucrative security, but how shall I make the two ends meet? To such people I bring the condolence o£ this Chris- : tian truth. You may have seen a map on which is de- j scribed, with red ink, the travels of the chil- I dren of Israel through the desert to tho Promised Land. You see how they took this and that dire tiou, crossed the river and went through the sea. Do you know God ! has made a map of your life, with paths lead ing up to this bitterness aud that success, through this river and across that sea? But, blessed be God! the path always comes out j at the Promised Land. Mark that! Mark that! 1 remark, again, that all those things that seem to be but accidents in our life are under the Divine supervision. We sometimes seem to be going helmless and anchorless. You say: “If I hal some other trade: if I had not gone there this summer; if I had lives! in sorno other house.” You have no right to say that. Every tear you wept, every step you have taken, every burden you have car riel, is under Divine inspection, and that qvent which startled your whole household with horror, God met with perfect placidity, because he knew it was for your good. It was part of a great plan projected long ago. In eternity, when you come to re-kon up your mercies, you will ;>oint to thal affliction as one of your greatest bless ings. God has a strange way with us. Joseph 'ound his way to the Prime Ministers chair ny being pushed into a pit; and to many a Christian down is up. The wheat must be flailed; the quary must be blasted; the dia mond must be ground; the Christian must be s'Hicted; aud that single event, which you <r.ip;>o-e 1 stood entirely alone, was a connect ing link between two great chains, one chain reaching through all eternity past and the sther other chain reaching through all eter nity future, so small an event fastening two eternities together. A missionary, coming from India to the United States, stopped at St. Helena while the vessel was taking water. He had his little child with him. They walked along by an embankment, and a rock at that moment be came loosened, and falling, instantly killed the child. Was it an accident? Was it a surprise to God? Had He allowed His servant, after a life of consecration, to come to such a trial? Not such is my God. Th :re are no accidents in the divine mind, though they rnav seem so to us. God is good, and by every single incident of our life, whether it l>e adverse or otherwise, before earth and Heaven God will demonstrate His mercy. “I hear a man sav: “That idea lielittles God. You bring Hina down to such little things.” Oh! I have a more thorough ap pro iation of Gori in little things than 1 have m great things. The mother does not wa t until the child has mashed its foot or broken ita arm before she administers sympathy. The child come, in with the least bruise, and the mother kisses it. God does net wait for some tremendous crisis in our life, but cornes down to us in our most insignificant trials, an 1 throws over us the arms of His mercy. Go-ng up the White Mountains to ne veers ago I bought of that passage in the Bible that s-ieaks of God as weighing nioiiutaius .in a bal-mce. As 1 looked at th s> great mountains 1 thought, can it be possible that Go 1 1 an put th s? great mountains in scales' It was nil idea too great forme to grasp: but when 1 saw a blue-b-U down bv the mule’s f Kit, on mv wa v up Mount Washington, t h >n I understood the kindness and goodness of God. It is not so much of Got in great things I can understand, but of God in little things. There is a man who says: “That doctrine cannot be true, liecauao things do go so very wrong.” I reply, it is no inconsistency on ths> part of God, but a lack of understanding on our part. I hear th,A men are making very tine shawls in some factory. Igoin oa the first floor and see only the raw materials, an.l I ask: "Are these the shawls I havo hoard about?" “No,”says the manufacturer: “go up to the next floor,” and 1 go up, and then I liegiu to see the design. But the man says: “Do not stop h ire: go up to tho top floor of tho factory, and you will see the ide i fully carried out" 1 do so, ana having comt to the top. sec tho complete pattern of an exquisite shawl. So in our life, standing down on a low level of Christian experience, wo do not understand God’s dealings. He tells us to go up higher, until we begin to understand the divine moaning with respect to us an 1 we advance until we stand at the very gate of Heaven, and there see God s id-a all wrought out—a perfect idea of mercy, of love, of kindneis. And wosav: "Just and true are all Thy ways.” It is all right at the bottom. Remember there is no inconsistency on tho part of God, but it is only ot.r ir.enUv. ami spiritual incapacity. Some of you havo boon diappointed this summer—vacations are apt to b»disappoint nients,but whatever havo been your perplox ities and worriments, know that "Man’s heart deviseth his way, but the Lord di recteth his st?ps.” Ask these aged men in this church if this is not so. It has boon so in my own life. Oue summer I started for tho Adiron dacks, but my plans wore so changed that I landed in Liverpool. I studied law, and I got into the ministry. I re-olved to go as a missionary to China, and I stayed in the United States. I thought I would like to he in the East, and I went to the West—all the circumstances of life, all my work, different from that which I expected. “A man’s heart deviseth his way, but the Lord directeth his steps. ” So, my dear friends, this day take home this subject. Be content with such things as you have. From every grass blade under your feet learn the lesson of Divine care, and never lot tho smallest bird flit across your path without thinking of tho truth that “five sparrows are sold for two farthings, and not oue of them is forgotten liefore God.” Blessed bo His glorious name forever. Amen. Heroes Riding on the Rail. In one of the coaches on a west-bound tra’n was a party of young men. They were just like other passengers, except ing, possibly, that they wore better clothes, talked more slang and had browner faces. But it was plain to be seen by the most careless observer that they were anything but common young men. The other passengers looked upon them with awe, mingled with admira tion. Every move made by one of the I dozen was eagerly noted by all sitting : within view. These young men had full seats to themselves, while other passen gers crowded themselves together. ; Whenever one of the young men walked through the car everybody else stood re spectfully aside. If one of the young men made an attempt at a joke there ■was no man within hearing who had the temerity to refuse to laugh. At stations the word seemed to be passed along the ]>latform, and crowds gathered to look into the windows and do homage to the distinguished travelers. The conductor was studiously polite to them, and the brakeman was always on the lookout to see if lie couldi be of any service to them. Even the train hoy seemed for once to have lost his itnpu- I dence and he treated these young men with frequent evidences of his most sin cere consideration; and rarely left the car in which they were seated without casting upon them one parting glance'of envy and admiration-. ‘‘Who are those nabob- chaps?” in quired a new passenger of his Aeatmate; “they ain’t Members of Congress, or Princes from Yurrip, or the only sons of millionaire railway Presidents, be they?’’ “Oh, no, the other passenger replied,, “they arc only a club of baseball players.” Chicago Herald. k Broken Door Bell. Hudson Taylor, who at that time kept a book store in Washington, and who was a warm friend of Secretary Stanton, says: “The morning after the assassina ! tion of Lincoln it was stated in newspa per articles that two gentlemen who were walking leisurely along near Mr. Stan ton’s house at eight o’clock the night of the tragedy, the hour fixed for the at i tack on Seward and Johnson, saw a tall man with a high hat hurry off Stanton’s stoop, and though they remarked it as singular, gave it only a passing notice. The next morning when I made my usual call on Stanton, he said, after reading tlie article referred to: ‘I was tired exit last night and went home early, and was in the back room playing with the chil dren when those gentlemen saw the man hurry off my stoop. If the dbor-bell had rung it would have been answered and the man admitted, and I, no doubt, would have been attacked, but the bell wire was broken a day or two before, and though we had endeavored to have it repaired, the bell-hanger had put ns off because of a pressure of orders.’ When 1 went back to my store after this interview with Mr. Stanton,” said Mr. Taylor, “I mentioned the matter to one of my clerks, who ex claimed quickly: ‘That is so, I know, liecause at seven o’clock last night I went to Mr. Stanton’s house with a txiok and pulled and pulled the bell-knob, but got no response. I stepped into the vesti bule, and looking up saw the broken bell wire and reaching up pulled it, when the butler answered and asked: “How did you ring that bell?” and expressed sur prise and added; “It haa been broken for a day or two and has annoyed us much.”’ We all agreed, including Mr. Stanton,” said Mr. Taylor, “that if that bell-wire had been in working order Mr. Stanton would have been assassinated, for the man had evidently pulled the boll-knob several times, and getting no response became frightened and fled.— Chncage ledger. A New Element of the Game. Citizen (to baseball manager? —“To what do you attribute your defeat to day?” Manager —“To the fact that the other , club had two mascots, while we only had ' one. I shall have mascots enough on our Western trip to win two games out of i three if I have to buy up a whole found ling asylum.” PFARLS OF THOVtUITs To have what we want is riches, btlt , to be able to do without is power. (hines arc like processions; they re- I turn to place from which they came. A face that cann t smile is like a bud that blossoms and dies upon the stalk. Good manners is the art of making I those people easy with whom we con | verse. Life is a quarry, out of which we aro to mould and cliisel and complete it character. Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s sulf to t do without it. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both aud is more bcwitch than either. Nearly everybody has it in him to bo better than he is. Improvement is chiefly the regulation of tho propensities and passions. Every man w’ho eq joys a blessing should be prompted to- think of those who are without it, and try te help them. Each benefit is a responsibility. The warm sunshine and tho gentle zephyr may melt the glacier which has bid defiance to the howling tempest; so the voice of kindness will- touch the heart which no severity could subdue. The memory is perpetually looking back when we have nothing present to entertain us; it is like those repositories in animals that are filled with stores of food, on which they may ruminate whei» their present pasture fails. An Incident of Aiitlolain. the most savagely contested part of the struggle at Antietam was in and I around the sunken lane of Rouletls farm, | where Jackson’s Corps for hours held the i ground, from which Hooker and Mans field had been successfully repulsed early , in the morning. In their yellowish, but ternut suits the Confederates were scarce ly distinguishable from the road-bed on the ditch where they lay, or from the ripe stalks of the cornfield behind, through which their re-enforcing bri gades were constantly descending. Not more than fifty yards off, lying or kneel- I ing in the green pasture field, without any shelter, the Union men—Kimball’s, Caldwell’s and the Irish brigades—poured so deadly a fire into that lane that after • tlie battle six hundred Confederate dead were found there. Repeated efforts were made by the Union troops to charge Pterhaps the first was in conformity to i General’s orders; the others certainly were not. The Confederate fire was so terrible that everyone, however, realized the need either of driving the Confeder ates from the lane and the rising ground behind, or else of retiring, to avoid mini i hilation. Such expressions as, “Wt. | must charge,” “Let’s try the bayonet, | boys,” were constantly repeated along the line, and bayonets would bo fixed without any order whatever, so £iir as known, from General or field officers.. But, on making the effort to charge,, and finding the enemy’s fire irresistible, tlie Union line, with heads bent, as if against, a rain-storm, would back up to its . for" mar position, and, kneeling or lying, down again, resume its fire. Finally a clamor of desperation broke out. There were no troops in sight behind, no prom ise of reserve or support, and the situa tion was galling. The whole heavens was splitting with tho detonations of battle, and the rest of the army was probably fighting for its own life; The men on their knees fixed bayonets again for the tenth time, perhaps, and, with a murderous howl of rage, the three bri gades rushed forward and in a minute were in the lane and their banners were ascending through the cornfield toward j the peach orchard where Jackson him [ self is said to have been during all these j hours. This charge, which broke Jack i son’s right for a time, and required all ’ his genius to prevent proving a supremue disaster to his army, would not have been made when it was made if blie initiative i had depended on a commander’s, or j ders.— Chicago Tusdger. Frogs’Skin as Grafts.

(X Pertersen has suc cessfully used the skin from the back of I a frog. The slowly cicatrizing wound I was situate on tho back of tho neck of a I man and had resulted from excision of a ‘ malignant pustule. A piece of frog’s skin the size of the thumb nail was wash ed in a 2 per cent, solution and placed upon blotting-paper, when it was divided ■ into two. The grafts were applied to the wound so that the blotting-paper was interposed between them and the fixing plaster. Two days after the transplan ! tation both fragments of epidermis were I found to be adherent. Two days later a fresh grafting was made; the former : grafts had become roseate. In a further period of forty-eight hours tho pigmen tation of the grafts had almost disap peared. The cicatrix resulting after this i treatment was found to be of great soft ness and elasticity. Frog’s skin as grafts has been recently employed at some of ' the London hospitals.— London Lancet. TWNCOMMRABLE Tlie Most Perfect Icstrnmeut WorW.
