DR. TALHAGES’ sermon. the empty place. .. .. t . ‘Thau slia't 1.0 mUscd, beaaaas tav iiU be empty. —1 Samuel, xx. H. Set ou the table th* cutlery, and ibased jiverware of the palace, for Kin,; Haul will Zjve a Slate dinner to-day. Adi tingu she l SL-e i' kept at tbe table or his sou-in-m w, a £ebraU*d war. ior. Dav.d by name. Tuo ruests. ewele 1 and i lumed. come in ami Ske their p aces. Übn | e >ple are invited , fl King’s banquet they ar* very a«.t to go. But before the covers are lit to 1 from the fast Saul looks around ami finds a va ant at t.e table. He says within hinwlf,. r Serbap' audibly: ’What does this mean? \Vbereis my son-in-law ? Where is David, the gnat warrior f I invite ! him. I ex pectel him. What l A vacant chair at a King 8 banquet!” The fact was that David the warrior had been seated for the last time at his father in law's table. The day before Jonathan had I avid to go and occupy that place at the table, saying to David in the words of m y text: “Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.’’ she prediction was fulfilled. David was missed. His seat was empty. That one va cant chair sn< ke louder than all the occupied chairs at the banquet. In al uost every house the articles of furniture take a living personality- That pi< ture—a stranger would not see anything rema: kable either in its de sign or ex cutioit but it is more t) you than all the pictures or the Louvre and the Lux embourg. You remember who bought it and who admired it. And that hymn-book—you remember who sang out of it. And that cradle— you remember who rocked it. And that Bible—you remember who rea 1 out of it And that bed —you remember who slept i n it. And that room—you remember who died in it But there is nothing in all your ho.iseso eloquent and so mighty-voiced as the vacant chair. 1 suppose that before Saul ami his guests got up from this banquet there was a gre it clatter of wine-pit ±ers. but all that ra ket was drowned out by the voi( e that came up from the vacant chair at the table. Many have gazed and wept at John Quincy Adam’s va ant chair in the House of Representatives?, and at Mr. Wilson s vacant chair in the ice-Presidency, and at Henry Clay’s vacant chair in the American Senate, and at Prince Alb *rt‘s vacant < hair in Wind sor Cadle, and at Thiers's vacant chair in the councils of the French nation; but all these chairs are unimportant to you as compared with the vacant chairs in your own house hold. Have these chairs any lesson for you to learn i Are we any I etter men and women than when they first addressed us? I. First: I point out to you the father’s va ant chair. Old men always like to sit iu the same place and in the same chair. They somehow feel more at home, and sometimes when you are in their place and they come into the room, you jump up suddenly and say: “Here, father, here’s your chair.” The probability is it is an arm-chair, for he is not so strong as he once was, and he needs a little upholding. His hair is a little frosty, his gums a little depressed, for in his early days there was not much dentistry. Perhaps a cane chair and old-fashioned apparel, for though you may have suggested some im provement, father dees not want any of your nousens *. Grandfather never had much ad miration for new-fangled notions. I sat at the table of one of my parishioners in a former congregation; an aged man was at the table and his son was pre iding, and the father somewhat abruptly addressed the son aud said: “My son, don’t now try to show off because the minister is here!” Your father never liked any new customs or man ners; he preferred the (Id way of doing things,and he never looked so happy as when with his eyes closed he sat in the arm hair in the corner. From wrinkled brow to the tip of the slippers, what placidity! The wave of the past years of his life broke at the foot <f that chair. Perhaps, sometimes, he was a little impatient, and sometimes told the same story twi e; but over that old chair how many blessed memories hover! I hope you did not crowd that old chair, and that it did not get very much in the way. Sometimes the old man s chair gets very much in the wav, especially if he has been so unwise as to make overall his property to his children with the understanding that they are to take care of him. I have seen in such cases children crowd the old man’s chair to the door, and then crowd it clear into the street, and then crowd it into the poorhouse, and keep on crowding it until the old man fell out of it into his grave. But your father s chair was a sacred place. Tne children us d to climb up on the rungs of it for a good-night kiss. The longer he sta ed the better you liked it. But that chair bas been vacant now for some time. The furniture dealer would not give you fifty cents for it, but it is a throne of influence in your domestic circle. 1 saw in the French palace and in the throne room the chair that Na; oleon used to o cupy. It was a beauti ful chair, but the most significant part of it was the letter “N,” embroidered into the ba kof the chair in purple and gold. And your father’s old chair sits in the throne room of your heart, and your a factions have embroidere 1 into the i ack of that chair in purple and gold the letter “F.” Have all the prayers of that old chair been answered? Have all the counsels of that old ( hair been practiced? Speak out, old arm-chair' His tory tells us of an old man whose three sons were victors in the Olympic games, and when they came I ack, these three sons, with their garlands, and put them on their father’s brow, the old man was so *eioiced at the vic tories of his three children that he fell (bad in their arms. And are you, O man, going to bring a wreath of joy and Christian use fulness and put it on to your father s brow, or on tl e vacant chair, or on the memory of the one departed? Speak out, old arm chair! With reference to your father, the words of my text have been fulfilled. “Thou shalt be missed, be ause thy seat will be empty.” 11. Igo a little further on in your house and I find the mother's chair. It is very apt to be a rocking-chair. She had so many < ares and troubles to soothe that it must nave ro kers. I remember it well. It was an old chair, and the rockers were almost •yorn out, lor I was the youngest, and the ( hair had rocked the whole family. It made a creaking noise as it moved: but there was mudc in the sound. It was just high enough to all >w us children to put our heads into her lap. That was the l>ank where we de posited all our hurts and worries. Oh. what a chair that was! It was different from tho father's chair; it was entirely different. You aske me how? I cannot tell; but we all felt it was different. Perhaps ihere was about this chair more gentleness, more tender ness, more grief when we had done wrong. When we were wayward father scolded, but mother cried. It was wakeful chair. In the sick days of children other cha rs could not keep awake; that chair always kept awake, kept easily awake. That ( hair knew all the old lulla bies and all those wordle-s songs which sick children—songs in all pity and compassion and sympa thetic influences are combined. That Id chair has stopp *d rocking for a good many years, it may be set up in the loft or the holds a queenly power yet. hen at midnight you went into that grog- s boi» to get the intoxicating draught, did you not hear a voice that sad: “My son, why go in there?” And lou !er than the boisterous encore of the pla e of wicked amusement, a V!? ® s *Yinz: “Mv son. what do vou h.re?” nu when you w nt into the house of sin a if 01 ? ‘'What would your mother do ®he knew y< u were here?” And you were provoked with yourself, and you charged yourself with s ioerstitioa and anatici>m, and your head got hot with your Wn thoughts, and you went borne and you ,. ent 1 a °d no sooner ha 1 you touched ne ted than a voice said: “Wn t a praver bs® pillow! Man. what is the matter?” This: ou are too near your mother's rocking **Gh. pshaw!” you reply: “there’s lining in that I’m five hundred miles jff irorn where I was born. I’m three thousand c'V s from the church who-e bell was the nrst music I ever heard.” I cannot h Ip nat: you are too near your mother s ro< k »rSi? a r • *’ you sav. “there can‘> be ytrung m that; that chair has been vacant a great while,” 1 <aunot help that; it :s all ' the mightier for that: it is omni that I va ant n.utUer’a • 1 air. It whi yers it i s eul.s; it we ps; it carols; it mourns; it , piays; it wims; it thin der« A voungmau i went o I and i roke his mother's heart, and while he wns away from home his mother died, and the telegiaoh brought tl e s- n and he came into ibo ro »m where she lav and looked upon her fa e, and he cried out “Oh mother, mother! what your life could not do your death >hall eiTe t." This moment I give my heart to God.’’ And be kept his pro:nise. A• ’ ■ti.er victory for the va am chair. With reference to your mother the wor is of mv text were fulfilled: “Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. " Some one said to a Gre ian General: hat was tho proudest moment in your life.” He thought a moment and said: “The proudest moment in my life was wheu 1 sent *uiti nomc tj my parents that 1 j.a i game«l J* 1 ® y ie tory. Ami the prou le t and mt st brilliant moment in your lif • will be the mo ment when you can send word to your parents that you have t on juered your evil habits by the grace of God, and become eternal victor. Oh, despise not parental anxiety! The time will come when you will have neither father nor mother,and you will go around the place ▼here they used to watch you,aud find them gone from the house,aud gone from the field, and gone from the ueignliorhood. Cry as loud for forgiveness as you may over” the mound in the churchyard, they will not answer. Deal! Dead! And the i you will take out the white lock of hair that was cut from your mother's brow before they buried her, and you will take the cane with which your father used to walk, and you will think and thiuk and wish that you had done just as they wante I you to, and would give the woild if y< u had never thrust a pang through their dear old hearts. God pity the young man who has brought disgrace on his lather’s name! God pity the young man who has broken his mother's heart! Better if he had never been born: better if in the first hour of his life, instead of being laid against the warm bosom of maternal tender ness, he had been coffined and sepulchred. There is no balm powerful enough to heal the heart of one who bas Drought parents to a sorrowful grave, and who wanders about through the dismal cemetery, rending the hair and wring ng the bauds and crying: “Moth'r! Mother!” Oh, that to-day by ail the memories of the past and by ail the hopes of the future, you would yield your heart to God! May your father's God aud your mother’s God be your God forever! 111. Igo on a little further; I come to the invalid’s chair. What? How long have you been sick? “Oh, I have been sick ten, twenty, thirty years.” Is it possible? What a story of endurance! There are in many families of my congregation these invalid chairs. The occupants of them think they are doing no good in th * world; but that in valid s chair is the mighty pulpit from which they have been preaching, all these years, trust in God. One day, ou an island just off from Sandusky. Ohio, I preached, aud there was a great throng of people there; but the throng did not impress me so much as the spectacle of just one face—the face of an in valid who was wheeled in on her chair. I said to her afterward: “Madam, how long have you been prostrated?” for she was lying Hat in the <ha!r. “Oh,” she replied, “I have been this way fifteen years?’ I said: “Do you suffer very much?” “Oh, yes ’ she said; “I suffer very much. 1 suffer all the time; part of the time 1 was blind. I always sutler.” “Well,” 1 said, “can you keep your courage up?” Oh, yes,” .she said, *1 am happy, very happy indeed.” Her face showed it. She looked the happiest of any one on the ground. Oh, what a means of grace to the world, these invalid chairs! On that field of human suffering the gra e of God gets its victory. Edward Payson, the invalid, and Richard Baxter, the invalid, and Robert Hall, tho invalid, aad the teu thousand of whom the world hasnexer heard, but of whom all heaven is cognizant. The most conspicuous thing on earth for God’s eye and tho eye of angels to rest on is not a throne of earthly power, but it is the invalid’s chiir. Oh, these men and women who are always suffering but never complaining-these victims of sjiinal disease, and neuralgic torture, and rheu matic excruciation, will answer to the r Il eal 1 of the martyrs, and rise to the martyr s throne, and will wave the mar yr’s palm! But when one of these invalid chairs be come \ a-ant, how suggestive it is! No more bolstering up of the weary hea l. No more changing from side to side to got an easy position. No more use of the bandage, and the cataplasm and the prescription. That invalid’s chair may bo folded up or taken apart, or set away, but it will never lose its queenly power; it will always preach of trust in God and cheei ful submission. Suffering all ended now. With respect to that invalid the words of my text have been fulfilled: “Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.” IV. I pass on and I find one more vacant chair. It is a high chair. li is Iho child’s chair. If that chair be occupied, I think it is the mo-t potent ( hair in all the household. All the chairs wait on it; all the chairs are turned toward it. It means more than David’s chair at Saul s banquet. At any rate.it makes more racket That is a strange bouse that can be dull with a child in it. How that child breaks up the hard worldliness of the place, aud keeps you young to sixty, seventy and eighty years of age! If you ha. eno chil lof your own, adopt one; it will open heaven to your soul. It will jay its way. Its crowing in the morning will give the day a cheei ful starting, and its glee at night will give the day a cheerful close. You do not like children? Then you had better stay out of heaven, for there are so many there they would fairly make youcia .y! Only about five hundred million of them! The old crusty disciples told the mothers to keep the hi Id ten away from Christ. “You bother Him,” they said: “you trouble the Master.” Trouble him! He has filled heaven with that kind of trouble. A pioneer in California says that for the first year or two after his residence in Sierra Nevada County, there was not a single child in all the reach of a hundred miles. Butihe ’th of July came, and the miners were gathered together, and they were celebrating the 4th with oration and poem, and a boisterous brass band; and while the ba d was playing, an infant’s voice was h ard crying, an I all the miners were startled, and the swarthy men began to think of their homes on lhe Eastern coast, an lof their wives and children far away, and their hearts were filled with homesick ness as they heard the babe cry. But the mu4c went on, and the child * ried louder and louder, and the brass band pl iyed louder and louder, trying to d own out the in fantile interruj ti n, when a swarthy miner, the tears ro ling down his fa e. got up and shook his fist, and said: “»>top t ;at noisy bend, and give the baby a chance.” Ch, there was pathos as well as good cheer in it! There is nothing to ar<>us.*, and melt, and subdue the soul like a child’s voice. But when it goes away from you the high chair becomes a higher chair, and there is desolation all about you. In three-fourths of the homes of my cong e-ation there is a vacant high cnair. Somehow you never get over it. There is no one to put to bed at night: no one to ask strange que tion about God and heaven. Oh, what is the use of t at high chair? It is to call you higher. What a drawing upward it .s to have chil dren in heaven! And then it is s i h a in ventive Against s.n. If a fa her is going away into sin he Ita* es his living ch.ldren w th their moth r; but if a father is go ng aw iv into sin wnat is he o n to do with Ids dead (h l Iren floating abou- him and hover ing over his every way war 1 >tep? Oh. speak out, va ant high chair and say: “lather, come back from sin; mo her. cone back from worl Hiuess. I am wat hm r you. lamwa t in for you.” With respe t toyo ir (hld the wor-lso my text have ueen fulfilled: “Thou shalt be miss d. because thy seat will be • emnty,” Mz hearers, I have gathered up the vo es I ('i your departs! friends an 1 tried to int ne them i to one invitation upward. 1 set in array ad the vacant - hans of your ho es, aud of v ur so ial cir le. an 1 i bid them < ry out: *‘Time is short.

How to Pnnisli ('liiblrcn. “How to nunis.lt children." said Prof. Adler, in n loAure recently, "is one of the burning questio :s of the day. Upon it dep nds in a greater degree than | eople imagine the welfare of the state, the family, societt and the ethical develop ment of humanity itself. We would b 3 the physicians onr enemies; we would profit by their hostility and lend them to n bett r mind by gentleness and firmness combined, and even chastise them when their own good and social advancement re uire it. How many parents know how to punish children? "A child will grow up, in nine cases out of ten, tho embodiment of the in fluences that sui round him. Neverchastiso a child in anger. Socrates, the great Pagan philosopher, refrained from pun ishing a slave until his passion had cooled. An angry father sets a perilous example to his offspring. He exhibits his we ku. ss when he should be firm and contained. The child drinks in the les son.and his moral nature is lacerated and warped. "How many children arc spoiled by discouragement? Parents grumble and chide the livelong day, and never praise. It js wrong. Nothing will so effectually crush a child's ambition to be good and noble. The sweet approbation of a good mother is enough to make a young man face fire and deatli in a worthy cause.” Sound From a Kay of Light. A ray of light will produce sound. In order to prove this a sunbeam is thrown through a lens on a glass that contains lampblack, colored silk, worsted or other substances. A disk h iving slits or open ings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow'. On putting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds arc heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel. Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made. The beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. N< w place the ear to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by different parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sounds at all. Green silk gives sound best in red light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in dif ferent colors and utters no sound in others. Cultivator. Chemical Nomenclature. Persons who undertake to gain through chemical literature a knowledge of what chemists are doing in and for the world encounter a discouraging nomenclature which repels them by its apparent in tricacy and its polysyllabic character. Their opinion of the terminology of an exact science is not enhanced when they learn that "black-lead” contains no lead, "copperas” contains no cop| er, “mosaic gold” no gold, aud “German silver” no silver; that "carbolic acid” is not an acid, "oil of vitriol” is not an oil; that olive oil is a “salt,” but “rock oil” is neither an oil or sat; that some sugars are alcohols, and some kinds of wax are ethers; that “cream of tartar” has noth ing in common with cream, “miik of lime” with milk, “butter of antimony” with butter, "sugar of lead” with sugar, nor ‘ liver of sulphur” with the animal organ from which it was named. Read ers of chemical writings sometimes fail to appreciate t ie advantages of styling borax "di-meta-borax of sodium,” or of calling common alcohol "methyl carbi nol,” and they ignore the euphony in such words as pentamethyldiamidothi odiphcnylamindiiodomethylate (a sub stance begotten and baptized by Dr. Albert Maasen. — Popular Science Monthly. A Chinese Barber. Allen Furman hai been visiting a Chi nese barber in New York, and gives his experience as follows: The barber is an artist in his line, and uses an assortment of razors which would puzzle the American tonsor. He first lathers the face with a tooth brush, and then attacks the beard with a broad, short-bladed razor, set solidly in its handle like an ax. He scrapes away with this for awhile, and changes it for a narrower and lighter blade, until he finally shaves the nose and inside the ears with a thin, flexible bit of fin ly tern peied steel alrout ns broad as a match. He wiggled this thing around in one of my ears, and I sat in blissful unconscious ness, supposing it to be a bit of bamboo. I caught sight of the bit of steel and asked if it was sharp. In answer he pin k d a hair from my head and cut it with a single stroke. Then I sat in tor ture whil h ■ manipulated the other car, expecting every n.oment to sec that use ful portion of my anatomy fall to the floor liced off by a slip of t e keen st el, but the-e Chinamen are wond<Tfdly dex terous in the use of their tools, and I roe from the chair without a scratch, but ba lly friglitencd. The Fate of Crowned Heads. Apropos of the expulsion of French Princes a lover of statistics has drawn up a list of the monarchs who have < ome to an untimely or ignominious end.
