DIL TALMAGE’S HIS EXPERIENCE AT CHRIST’S BIRTHPLACE. Immortal IHaaterpieceaof Art Which Por»ray the Scenes of the Nativity—Mission of Children in the scriptures—The Shepherds Bnd Other Heroes. Bethleh»m Hays. Rev, Dr. Talmage’s text was Luke il, 16, "And they came with haste.and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.” The black window shutters of a December nigh,t were thrown, open, and some of the best singers of a world where they all sing stood there, and putting back the drapery of cloud, chanted a peace anthem, until the echoes of hill and valley applauded and encored the Hallelujah chorus. Gome, let us go it.‘o that Christmas scene as though we had never before worshipped at the manger. There is a Madonna worth looking at. I wonder not that the most frequent name in all lands and in all Christian centuries is Mary. And there are Marys in palaces and Marys in cabins, and though Gorman and French and Italian ami Spanish and English pronounce it differently, they are all namesakes of the one whom we find on a bed of straw, with her pale face against the soft cheek of Christ in the night of the Nativity. All the great painters have tried on canvas to present Mary and her child and the incidents of that most famous night of the world's history. Raphael, in three different masterpieces, celebrated them. Tintoretto and Ghirlandajo surpassed themselves in the adoration of the Magi. Correggio needed to do nothing more than his Madonna to become immortal. The Madonna of the Lily, by Leonardo da Vinci, will kindle the admiration of all ages. But all the galleries of Dresden are forgotten when I think of the small room of that - gallery containing Sistine Madonna. Yet all of them were copies of St. Matthew’s Madonna and Luke's Madonna, the inspired Madonna of the O.d Book, which we had put into our hands when we were Infants, and that we hope to have under our heads when we die. Behold, in the first place, that on the first night of Christ’s life God honored the brute creation. You cannot get into that Bethlehem barn without going past thecahiels, the mules, the dogs, the oxen. The brutes of that stable heard the first cry of the infant Lord. Some of the old painters represent the oxen and camels kneeling that night before the newborn babe. And well might they kneel! Have you ever thought that Christ came among other things to alleviate the sufferings of the brute creation? Was it not appropriate that He should during the first few days and nights of His life on earth, be surrounded by the dumb beasts, whose moan and plaint and bellowing have for ages been a prayer to God for the arresting of their tortures and the righting of their wrongs? It did not merely "happen so” that the unintelligent creatures of God should have obcen that nighti in ’close neighborhood. Not a kennel in all the centuries, not a bird’s nest, not a wornopt horse on tow path, not a herd freezing in the poorly built cow pen, not a freight car in the summer time bringing the beeves to market without water through a thousand miles of agony, not a surgeon’s room witnessing the struggles of fox or rabbit or-pigeon or dog in the horrors of vivisection but has an interest in the fact that Christ was born in a stable, surrounded by brutes. He remembers that night, and the prayer He heard in their pitifulmoan He will answer in the punishment of those who maltfeat the dumb brutes. They surely have as much right in this world as wo have. In tno first chapter of Genesis you may see that they were placed on the earth before man was, the fish and fowl created the fifth day, and the quadrupeds the morning of the sixth day, and man not until the afternoon of that day. whale, the eagle, the lion, and all the lesser creatures of their kind were predecessors of the human family They have the world by right of possession. They have also paid rent for the places they occupied. What an army or defense all over the land are the faithful watchdogs. And who can tell what the world owes to the horse and camel and ox for transportation? And robin and lark have, by the cantatas with which they have filled orchard and forest, more than paid for the few grains they have p’eked up lor their sustenance. When you abuse any creature of God you strike its Creator and yon insult the Christ who, though He might have been welcomed into life by princes and taken His first infantile slumber amid Tyrian plush and canopied couches and rippling waters from royal aqueducts dripping into basins of ivory and pearl, chose to be bosn on the level with a cow’s horn, or a camel’s hoof, or a dog’s nostril, that He might be the alleviation of animal suffering as well as the redeemer of man. Standing, then, as I imagine now I do in that Bethlehem night, with an infant Christ on the one side and the speechless creatures of God on the othefr, i cry look out how you strike the rowel into that horse’s side. Take off that curbed bit from that bleeding mouth. Remove that saddle from that raw back. Shoot not for fun that bird that is too small for food. Forget not to put water into the cage of that canary. Throw out some crumbs to those birds caught too far north in the winter’s inclemency. Arrest that man who is making that one horse draw a load heavy enough for three. Rush in upon that scene where boys are torturing a'cat or transfixing butterfly and grasshopper. Drive not off that old robin, for her nest is ?a mother's cradle, and under her wing there may be three or fo.ur musicians of the sky in training. In your families and in your schools teach the coming generation more mercy tnan the present generation has ever shown, and in this marvelous Bible picture of the Nativity, while you point out to them the angel, .show them also the caniel, and while thby hear the celestial chant let them also hear the cow’s moan. No more did'Chrfst show interest in the botanical world when He said, •‘Consider the lilies.” than He showed sympathy for the ornithological when He said, “Behold the fowls of the air,” anqj the quadrupedal world when He allowed Himself to be called in one place a lion and in another place a lamb. Meanwhile may the Christ of the Bethlehem cattle pen have mercy on the suffering stockyards that are preparing diseased and fevered meat for our American households. Behold, also, in this Bible scene, how on that Christinas night God honored childhood. Christ might have made His first visit to our world in a cloud, as He will descend on His next visit in a cloud. In what a chariot of illumined vapor He might have rolled down the sky, escorted by mounted cavalry, with lightning for drawn sword. had a carriage of fire to take him up; why not Jesus a carriage of fire to fetch Him down? Or over the arched bridge of a rainbow the Lord might have descended. Or Christ might have had His mortality built up on earth out of the dust of a garden, as was Adam, in full manhood at the start, without the introductory feebleness of infancy. No, no! Childhood was to be honored that event. He must have a child’s light limbs,and a child’s dimpled hand, and a child's beaming eye, and a

child’s flaxen bain and babyhood was to be honored for all time to come, and a cradle was to mean more than a grave. Mighty God! May the reflection of that one child’s face be seen in all infantile faces. Enough have all those fathers and mothers on hand If they have a child in the house. A throne, a crown a scepter, a kingdom under charge. Be careful how you strike him across the head, jarring the brain. What vou say to him will be centennial and millennial, and a hundred years and a thousand years will not stop the echo and re-ecao. Do not say, "It is only a child.” Rather say, “ft is only an immortal.” It is only a masterpiece of Jehovah. It is only a being that shall outlive sun and moon and sta- and ages quadriljcnnial. God has infinite resources, and He can give presents of great value, but when He wants to give the richest possible gift to a household He looks around all the worlds and all the universe and then gives a child. The greatest present that God ever gave our world He gave about eighteen hundred and ninety-one years ago, and He gave it on a Christmas night, and it was of such value that Heaven adjourned for a recess and came down and broke through the clouds to look at it. Yea, in all ages God has honored childhood. He makes almost every picture a failure unless there be a child either playing on the floor, or looking through the window, or seated on the lap, gazing into the face of the mother. It was a child in Naaman’s kitchen that told the great Syrian warrior where he might go and set cured of th® leprosy, which at his seventh plunge in the Jordan was left at the .bottom of the river. It was to the cradle.of leaves, in which a child was laid, rocked by the Nile, thtft God called , the attention of history. It was a sick child that evoked Christ’s curative sympathies. •It was a child that Christ set in the midst of the squabbling disciples to teach the lesson of humility. We are informed that wolf and leopard and lion shall be yet so domesticated that a little child shall lead them. A chll'd decided Waterloo, showing the army of Blucher how they could take a short cut through the fields, when, if the old road had been followed, the Prussian general would hare come up too late to save the destinies of Europe. It was a child that decided Gettysburg, he having overheard two Confederate generals in a conversation, in which they decided to march tor Gettysburg, instead of Harrisburg, and this reported to Gov. Curtin, the Federal forces started to meet their oppqnents at ./Gettysburg, And to day the child is to decide all the great battles, make all the laws, settle, ail the destinies and usher in the world’s salvation or destruction. Men, women, nations, all earth and all Heaven, behold the child! Is there any velvet so soft as a child’s cheek? If there any sky so blue as a child's eye? Is there any music so sweet as-the child’s voice? Is there any plume so wavy as a child hair? Notice also that in this Bible night scene God honored science. Who are the three wise men kneeling before the Divine Infant? Not boors, not ignoramuses, but Caspar, Belthasar and Melchior, men who know all that was to be known. They were the Isaac Newtons ar.d Herschels and Faradays of their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chemistry, their astrology the mother of our magnificent astronomy. They had studied stars, studied metals, studied physiology, studied everything. And when I see these scientists bowing before the beautiful babe, I see the prophecy of the time when all the telescopes and microscopes and an the Leyden jars and all the electric batteries and all the Observatories and all the universities shall bow to Jesus. It is much that way already. Where is the college that doos not have morning prayers, thus bowing at the manger? Who have been the greatest physicians? Omitting the names pf the living lest we should be invidious, have we not had among them Christian men like our own Joseph C. Hutchinson and Rush and Valentine Mott and Abercrombie and Abernethy? Who have been qnr greatest scientists? Joseph Henry, who lived and died in the faith of the Gospels, and Agassiz, who, standing with his students among the hills, took off his hat and sa|d, “Yofing gentlemen, before we study these rocks let us pray for wisdom to the God who made the rocks.” T<>day the greatest doctors and lawyers of Brooklyn and New York and of this land and of all the lands revere the Christian religion, and are not, ashamed to say so before juries and IdgisYatur.es and senates. All geology will ydt bow before the Rock of Ages. All botany will yet worship the Rose of Sharon. All astronomy will yet recognize the Star of Bethlehem. And physiology and anatomy will join hands and say, “We must, by the help of God, get the human race up to the perfect nerve and perfect muscle and perfect brain and perfect form of that perfect child, before whom, nigh twenty hundred years ago, the wise men bent their tired knees in worship. Behold also in that first Christmas night that God honored the fields. Come in, shepherd boys, to Bethlehem and see the child. “No,” they say, we are not dressed good enough to come in.” “Yes you are; come in.” Sure enough, the storms and the night dew and the brambles have made rough work with their apparel, but none have a better right to’ come in. They were the first to hear the music of that Chrismas night The first announcement of a Saviour’s birth was made to those men in the fields. They were wiseacres that night in Bethlehem and Jerusalem snoring in deep sleep, and there were salaried officers of Government, who, hearing of it afterward, may have thought that they ought to have had the first news of such a great event, some one dismounting from a swift camel at their door and knocking till. ift some sentinel’s question, “Who comes there?” the great ones of the palace might have been told of the celestial arrival. No; the shepherds . heard the first two bars of the music, the first in the major key and the last in the subdued minor, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.” Ah, yes; the fields were honored. The old shepherds with plaid and crook the most part .vanished, but we have grazing—our United States pasture, fields and prairte. about forty-five million sheep—and all their keepers ought to follow the shepherds of my text and all those who toil in fields, all vine dressers, all orcbardists, all husbandmen. Not only that Christmas night, but all up and down the world’s history God had been honoring the fields. Nearly all the messiabs of reform and literature and, eloquence and law and benevolence have come from the fields. Washington from the fields; Jefferson from the fields. The presidential martyrs, Garfield and Lincoln, from the fields. Henry Clay from the fields. Daniel Webster from the fields. Martin Luther from the fields. Before this world is right the overflowing populations of our crowed cities will have to take to the fields. Instead of ten merchants in rivalry as to who shall sell that one apple we want at least eight of them to go out and raise apples. Instead of ten merchants desiring to sell that one bushel of wheat we want at least eight of them togo outand raise wheat. The world wants now more hard hands, more bronzed cheeks, more muscular arms. To the fields! God honored them when He woke np the shepherds by the midnight anthem, and He will while the world lasts continue to honor the fields. When the shepherd’s crook was that famous night stood agaiust the wall of the Bethlehem khan,

ft was a prophecy of the time when the thasher’s flail and farmer’s plow and woodman’s ax and ox’s yoke and sheafbinder’s rajee shall surrender to the God Who made the country, as-man made the town Behold, also, that, on that Christmas night God honored motherhood. Two angels on their tyings might have brought an infant Savidur to Bethlehem without Mary’s being there at aIL When the villagers, on the morning of December 26, awoke, by divine arrangement and in some unexplained way, the child Jesus might have been found in some comfortable cradle of the village. But no, no’ Motherhood for all time was to be consecrated, and one of the tenderest relations to be the maternal relation, and one of the sweetest words “mother.” In all ages God has honored good motherhood. John Wesley, had a good mother, St, Bernard had a good mother, Samuel Budgett a good mother, Doddridge a good mother, Walter Seott a good mother, Benjamin West a good mother. In a great audience, most of whom were Christians, I asked that all those who had been blessed of Christian mothers arise, and almost the entire assembly stood up. Don’t vou see how important it is that all motherhood be consecrated? Why did Titian, the Italian artist, when he sketched the Madonna, make it an Italian face? Why did Rubens, the German artist, in his Madonna, make it a German face? Why did Joshua Rynolds, the English artist, in his Madonna make it an English face? Why did Murillo, the Spanish artist, in his Madonna, make it a Spanish . face? I never heard but I think they took their own mothers as the type of Mary, the mother of Christ? When you hear some one, in sermon or oration, speak in the abstract of a good, faithful, honest mother, your eyes fill up with tears while you say to yourself, ’’That was my mother.” The first word a child utters Is apt to be “Mother,” and the old man in his dying dream calls “Mother’ mother!” It matters not whether she was brought up in the surroundings of a city, and in affluent home, and was dressed appnx priately with reference to the demands ' of modern life, or whether she wore the old time cap and great round spectacles, and apron of her own make, and knit your socks with her own needles, seated by the broad fireplace, with great black logs ablaze on a winter night. It matters not how many wrinkles crossed and recrossed her face, or how much her shoulders stooped with the burdensofa long life, if you painted a Madonna, would be the face. What a gentle Band she had when we were sick, and whit a voice to sooth pain, and was there any one who could so fill up a room with peace and purity and light? And what sad day that was when we came home and she could greet us not, -tor her lips were forever still. 'Come back, mother, this Christmas day and take your old place, and as tensor twenty or fifty years ago come and open the old Bible as you used to; read and kneel in the same place where you used to pray, and 100 <• upon ns as of old,when you wished us a merry Chiristmas or a happy New Year. But no! That would not be fair to call you back. You had troubles enough and aches enough and bereavements enough while you were here. Tarry by the throne, mother, till we join you there, your prayers all answered, and in the eternal homestead of our God we shall again keep Christmas jubilee together. But speak from your thrones, all you glorified mothers, and say to all these, your sons and daughters, words of love, words of warning, words of cheer. They need your voice, for they have traveled i far and with many a heartbreak since you left them, and you do well tb call from the heights of Heaven to the valleys of earth: Hail, enthroned ancestry! We are coming. Keep a place right beside you at the banquet. Slow footed years I More swiftly run Into th« gold of that unsettinfi sun; Homesick we a?e for thee. Calm land beyond the sea. Girl Slaves in ’Frisco. <• Slavery in the strongest and most literal sense of the word exists in the Californian metropolis, said a San Francisco man recently in an interview. The Federal Government knows it, but makes not the slightest effort to eradicate the evil. I refer to the hideous traffic in Chinese women. There are thousands of these women in San Francisco and, except the wives of a few of the higher-grade Chinamen,, there is none who is not bought and paid for. These slaves are brought into the United States on fraudulent certificates and several Americans holding official positions have at various times been arrested for complicity in the forgeries, but in every instance the matter has been hushed up. The girls are all young when brought over, ranging in age from ten to sixteen years. The San Francisco slave-dealers have agents in China, who purchase the girls, paying from SSOO to SI,OOO each, according to the degree of attractiveness. Most of them are contracted for before arriving in this country, yet they wiL often be put up at auction in some secret den in the Chinese quarter and knocked down to the highest bidder. All this would be bad enough if the girls were simply sold into slavery, but it is a fact that they are sold to masters who compel them to lead lives shame in order that their gains may be increased. The awful truths <rf Chinatown depravity may some time be told. A NakUess Horseshoe; The latest form of the nailless horseshoe can be secured firmly to the hoof without either nails or screws. It is provided with slipping plates or fingers, which project upward at an inclination from the base of the shoe, which latter is open at the back, the opening being bridged by a clamping screw. The shoe is applied to the hoof, and the flanges are dressed down upon it. The screw at the back is then operated to hind the shoe firmly to the hoof. Split or cracked hoofs are thus done away with. The shoes can be put on in the morning and taken off at- night, thereby resting and cooling the hoofs. Too Slow. - Monsieur Calino was ordered by his physician to take a drive of an hour each day, and having no horse of his own, he called a cabman for the purpose. One day he signalled a cabman, and got in for trs daily drive. The horse started up at a painfully slow gait. “Hold on!” said Caiino to the driver. “I must get another cab. It would take me all day to ride an hour with such a slow plug as that!” Where to Find It, Experiments in London show that the atmosphere is the purest about thirty or forty feet above the street.

WJiolty Complimentary. A certain Mrs. Malaprop, who lives in a large Eastern city, is noted for her skill in unconsciously embarrassing other people, while she herself remains perfectly at ease. Not long ago she was introduced to two sisters, young ladies who had long been known to her by name, though she had never met them. “Now, my dears,” she said, addressing them collectively, with her usual bland srnfle, and regarding them earnestly through her glasses, “I have often heard of the bright and the handsome Miss Ratcliffe. Now, I am so glad to meet you both, and I want you to tell me at once which of you is the bright and which the handsome one!? On another occasion she was dining with her nephew and his young wife, who had just set up housekeeping. The dinner did not go off quite so smoothly as the young couple had hoped, and the cooking was by no means perfect. The hostess unwisely began to murmur apologies, and her husband joined in, half-laughing, with references to his wife’s youth and inexperience. “Don’t say another word, my dear children,” interrupted their kindhearted guest. “I can assure you I’ve eaten a great deal worse dinners than this in the course of my life; a* great deal worse. Yes,” she added, meditatively, “I’ve eaten some pretty bad dinners, you may be sure!” No Mean Foot. A reporter saw a shoe at the store of the Cowles Mercantile Company this morning, made for a member of the fair sex, that for size caps the climax. The shoe is No. 23 and measures sixteen inches in length. Now, kind reader, don’t jump at the conclusion that this is 'merely a ballroom slipper belonging to some But- : let young lady. It isn’t. Neither was it manufactured tor Sam Oldham's best girl—in fact, for none of the fair daughters of our favored city. The shoe was made tor the famed Miss Ella Ewing of Fairmount, Mo., who is only 18 years old and whose weight is 325 pounds. Her height is 7 feet and 10 inches, and she Is said to be a robust sample of our Missouri maidens. —Rich Hjll (Ma) Review. The Last Division.

Sold by Druggists, 75c, A Slight Mistake. A noted English bishop had for years nursed the fear that he would some day become paralyzed. On one occasion, at a dinner, he suddenly interrupted the guests at table by exclaiming that his worst fears had been realized at last; that he was paralysed in his right leg; that he had been pinching his thigh for some moments, and was unable to detect the slightest feeling. A lady sitting next to him assured him that he was mistaken, for it was her leg he had been pinching instead of his, the silk of the lady’s dress being difficult to detect from the silk of the bishop’s rote.
