When Mr. David Dear (winner of the Queen’s Prize at Risley this year) was a law student, he once attended an “at home.” On the servant asking his name, he replied, “David Dear.” The girl blushed and said: “Yes, yes; but what is your other name, sir*?” He assured her that he had no other name. But it was of no use; the servant knew better, and announced him as “Mr. David.”

DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. ■ ! HE ASKS. “WHAT WERE YOU MADE FOR?” The Text Taken from John xvlil, 37, “To This End Was I Born.**—King of forth and King of Heaven —What Jesus Came lor and What He Accomplished—An Able Discourse. The Tabernacle Pulpit. Dr. Talmage’s text was taken from John xviii, 37, “To this end was I born.” After Pilate had suicided, tradition says that his body was thrown into the Tiber, and such storms ensued on and about that river that his body was taken out and thrown into the Rhone, and similar disturbances swept that river and its banks. Then the body was taken out and removed to Lausanne and into a deeper pool, which immediately became the center of similar atmospheric and aqueous disturbances. Though these are fanciful and false traditions they show the execration with which the world looked upon Pilate. It was before this man when he was in full life and power Christ was arraigned as in a court of oyer and terminer. Pilate said to nis prisoner, “Art thou a king, then?” and Jesus answered, “To this end was I born.” Sure enough, although all earth and hell arose to keep Him down, He is to-day emplaced, enthroned, coronated King of earth and King of Heaven. “To this end was I born.” That is what He came for and that was what He accomplished. By the time a child reaches 10 years of age the parents begin to discover that child’s destiny; but by the time he or she reaches 15 years of age the question is on the child’s lips: “What am I to be? What am I going to be? What was I made for?’ It is a sensible and righteous question, and the youth ought to keep on asking it until it is so fully answered that the young man or the young woman can say with as much truth as its author, though on a less expensive scale, “To this end was I born.”. There is too much divine skill shown in the physical, mental, and moral constitution of the ordinary humaji being to suppose that he was constructed without any divine purpose. If you take me out on some vast plain and show me a pillared temple surmounted by. a dome like St. Peter’s, and having a floor of precious stones, and arches that must have taxed the brain of the greatest draftsman to design, and walls scrolled and niched and paneled and wainscoted and painted, and I should ask you what this building was put up for, and you an-, swered, “For nothing at all,” how could I believe you? And it is impossible for me to believe that any ordinary human being who has in his muscular, nervous, and cerebral organization more wonders than Chris-, topher Wren lifted in St. Paul’s or Phidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis, and built in such away that it shall last long after St. Paul’s Cathedral is as much a ruin as the Parthenon—that such a being was constructed for no purpose, and to execute no mission, and without any divine intention toward some end. The object of this sermon is to help you find out what you are made for, and he?p you find your sphere, and assist you into that condition where you can say with certainty and emphasis and enthusiasm and triumph, “To this end was I born.” Firsts 1 discharge you from all responsibility for most of your environments. You are not responsible for your parentage or grandparentage. You are not responsible for any of the cranks that may have lived in your ancestral line, and who a hundred years before you were born may have lived a style of life that more or less affects you to-day. You are not responsible for the fact that your temperament is sanguine or melancholic or bilious or Ivmphatic or nervous. Neither are you responsible for the place of your nativity, whether among the granite hills of New England, or the cotton plantations of Louisiana, or on the banks of the Clyde, or the Dnieper, or the S lannon, or the Seine. Neither are you responsible for the religion taught in your father’s house, nor the irreligion. Do not bother yourself about what you cannot help, or about circumstances that you did not decree. Take things as they are and decide the question so that yoh shall be able safely to say. “To this end was I born.” How will you decide it? By direct application to the only Being in the universe who is competent .to tell you — the Lord Almighty, Do you know the reason why He is the only one who can tell 9 Because He can see everything between your cradle and your grave, though the grave be eighty years off. And, besides that. He is the only being who can see what has been happening for the last 500 years in your ancestral line and for thousands of years clear back to Adam, and there is not one person in all that ancestral line of 6,000 years but has somehow affected your character, and even old Adam himself will sometimes turn up in your disposition. The only being who can take all things that pertain to you into consideration is God, and He is the one you can ask. Life is short we have no time to experiment with’occupations and professions. The reason we have so many dead failures is that parents decide for children what they shall do, or children themselves, wrought on by some whim or fancy, decide for themselves without any imploration of divine guidance. So we have now in pulpits men making sermons who ought to be in blacksmith shops making plowshares, and we have in the law those who instead of ruining the cases of their clients ought to be pounding shoe lasts, and doctors who are the worst hindrances to their patients’ convalescence, and artists trying to paint landscapes who ought to be whitewashing board fences. While there are others making bricks who ought to be reriiodling constitutions, or shoving planes who ought .to be transforming literature. Ask God about what worldly business you shall undertake until you are so positive you can in earnestness smite your hand on your plow handle, or your carpenter’s bench, or your Blackstone’s “Commentaries,” or your medical dictionary, or your Dr. Dick’s “Didactic Theology,” saying, “For this end was I born.” There are children who early develop natural affinities for certain styles of work. When the father of the astronomer Forbes was going to London he asked his children what present he should bring each one of them. The boy who was to be an astronomer cried out, “Bring me a telescope!” And there are children whom you And all by themselves drawing on their slates, or on paper, ships or muses or birds, and you know they are to be draftsmen or artists of some kind. And you find other? cyphering out difficult problems with rare interest and success, and you know they are to be mathematicians. And others making wheels and strange contrivances, and you know they are going to be machinists. And others are found experimenting with hoe and plow and sickle, and you know they will be farmers. And others are always swapping jackknives or balls or bats and making something by the bargain, and they are going to be merchants. When Abbe de Rance had so advanced in studying Greek that he could translate Anacreon at 13 years of age, there

was no doubt left that he was intended for a scholar. But in almost every lad there comes a time when he does not know what he was made for, and his parents do not know, and it is a crisis that God only can decide. Then there are those born for some especial work, and their fitness does not develop until quite late. When Philip Doddridge, whose sermons and books have harvested uncounted souls for glory, began to study the ministry. Dr. Cals my, one of the wisest and best men, advised him to turn his thoughts to some other work. Isaac Barrow, the eminent clergyman and Christian scientist—his books standard now, though he has been dsad over 200 years—was the disheartenment of his father, who used to say that if it pleased God to take any of his children away it might be his son Isaac. So some of those who have been characterized for their stupidity in boyhood or girlhood have turned out the mightiest benefactors or benefactresses of the human race. These things being so, am I not right in saying that in many cases God only Jknows what is the most appropriate thing for you to do, and He is the one to ask. And let all parents and all schools and all universities and all colleges recognize this, and a large number of those who spent their best years in stumbling about among businesses and occupations, now trying this and now trying that, and failing in all, would be able to go ahead with a definite, decided and tremendous purpose, saying, “To this end I was born.” But my subject now mounts into the momentous. Let me say that you are made for usefulness and Heaven. I judge this from the way you are buyt. You go into a shop where there is only one wheel turning and that by a workman’s foot on a treadle, and say to yourself, “Here is something good being done, yet on a small scale,” but if you go into a factory covering many acres, and you find thousands of bands pullixg on thousands of wheels, and shuttles flying, and the whole scene bewildering with activities, driven by water or steam, or electric power, you conclude that the factory was put up to do great work and on a vast scale. Now, I look at you, and if I should find had only one faculty of body, only one muscle, only one nerve, if you could see but not hear, or could hear and not see, if you had the use of only one foot or one hand, and, as to your higher nature, if you find only one mental faculty, and you had memory but no judgment, or judgment but no will, and if you had a soul with only one capacity, ! would say not much is expected oi you. But stand up, O man, and let me look you squarely in the faie! Eyes capable of seeing everything. Ears capable of hearing everything. Hands capable of grasping everything. Mind with more wheels than any factory ever turned, more power than a Corliss engine ever moved. A soul that will outlive all the universe, except Heaven, and would outlive all Heaven, if the life of other immortals were a moment short of the eternal. Now,, what has the world a right to expect from you? What has God a right to demand of you? God is the greatest of economists in the universe, and He makes nothing uselessly, and for what purpose did he build your bodv, mind and soul as they are built? There are only two beings in the universe who can answer that question. The angels do not know. The schools do not know. Your kindred cannot certainly know. God knows, and you ought to know. A factory running at an expense of 3500,000 a year, and turning out goods worth seventy cents a year would not be such an incongruity as you, O, man, with such semi-infinite ! equipment doing nothing, or next to ] nothing, in the way of usefulness. “What shall 1 do?” you ask. My brethren, my sisters, do not ask me. Ask God. There’s some path of Christian usefulness open. It may be a rough path, or it may be a smooth path, a long path or a short path. It may be on a mount of conspicuity or in a valley unobserved, but it is a path on which you can start with such faith aud such satisfaction and such certainty that you can cry out in the face of earth and hell and Heaven, “To this end was I born.” Do not wait for any extraordinary qualifications. Philip the Conqueror gained his greatest victories seated on a mule, and if you wait for some comparisoned Bucephalus to ride into the conflict you will never get into the world wide fight at all. Samson slew the Lord’s enemies with the jawbone of the stupidest beast created. Shamgar slew 600 of the Lord’s enemies with an ox goad. Under God spittle cured the blind man’s eyes in the New Testament story. Take all the faculty you have and say: “O Lord, here Is what I have. Show me the field and back me up by omnipotent power. Any* where, anyhow, any time for God.” Two men riding on horseback came to a trough to water the horses. While the horses were drinking, one of the men said to the other a few words about the value of the soul, and then they rode away, and in opposite directions. But the words uttered were the salvation of the one to whom they were uttered, and he became the Rev. Mr. Champion, one of the most distinguished missionaries in heathen lands, for years wondering who did for him the Christian kindness, and not finding out until, in a bundle of books sent him to Africa, he found the biography of Brainerd Taylor and a picture of him, and the missionary recognized the face in that book as the man who, at the watering trough for horses, had said the thing that saved his soul. What opportunities you have had in the past. What opportunities you have now. What opportunities you will have in the days to come! Futon your hat, oh, woman, this afternoon, and go in aud comfort that young mother who lost her babe last summer. Put on your hat, oh, man, and go over and see that merchant who was compelled yesterday to make an assignment, and tell him of the everlasting riches remaining for all those who serve the Lord. Can you sing? Go and sing for that man who cannot get well, and you will help him into Heaven. Let it be your brain, your tongue, your eyes, your ears, your heart, your lungs, your hands, your feet, your body, your mind, your soul, your life, your death, your time, your eternity for God, feeling in your soul, “To this end I was born!” It may be helpful to some if I recite my own experience In this regard. I started for the law without asking any divine direction. I consulted my own tastes. I liked lawyers and courtrooms and judges and juries, and I reveled in hearing the Frelinghuysens and the Bradleys of the New Jersey bar, and as asssistant to the county clerk, at 16 years of age, I searched titles, naturalized foreigners, recorded deeds, received the confession of judgments, swore witne&es and juries and grand juries. But after a while I felt a call to the Gospel ministry and entered it, and I felt some satisfaction in the work. Bnt one summer, when I was resting at Sharon Springs, and whtlei seated in the park of that village, I said to' myself, “If I have an especial work to doin the world I ought to find it out now,” and with that determination I prayed as I had never beforo prayed, and got the divine direction, and wrote it down in *my memorandum book, and I saw my life work then as plainly as I see it now. Oh, do not be satisfied with general directions. Get specific directions. Do not shoot at random. Take atm and tire. Concentrate. Napoleon’s success

ns. „ in battle came from his theory of breaking through the enemy’s ranks atone point, not trying to meet the whole line of the enemy’s force by a similar force. One reason why he lost Waterloo was because he did not work his usual theory, and spread his force out over a wide range. Oh, Christian man, oh, Christian woman, break through somewhere. Not a general engagement for God, but a particular engagement, and made in answer to prayer. If there are sixteen hundred million people in the world, then there are sixteen hundred million different missions to fulfill, different styles of work to do, different orbits in which to revolve, and if you do not get the divine direction there are at least fifteen hundred and ninety-nine million possibilities that you will make a mistake. On your knees before God get the matter settled so that you can firmly say, “To this end was I born.” And now I come to the climacteric consideration. As near as I can tell, you were built for a happy eternity, all the disasters which have happened to your nature to be overcome by the blood of the Lamb if you will heartily accept that Christian arrangement. We are all rejoiced at the increase in human longevity. People live, as near as I can observe, about ten years longer than they used to. The modern doctors do not bleed their patients on all occasions as did the former doctors. In those times if a man had fever they bled him, if he had consumption they bled him. if he bad rheumatism they bled him, and if they could not make out exactly what was the matter they bled him. Olden time phlebotomy was death’s coadjutor. All this has chauged. From the way I see people skipping about at eight vears of age, I conclude that life insurance companies will have to change their table of risks, and charge a man no more premium at 70 than they used to do when he was 60, and no more premium at 50 than when Jie was 40. By the advance-; ment di medical science and the wider acquaintance with the laws of health, and the fact that people know better how to take care of themselves, human life is prolonged. But do you realize what, after all, is the brevity of our earthly state? In the times when people lived seven and eight hundred years, the patriarch Jacob said that his years were few. The world does very well for a little while, eighty, or a hundred or a hundred and fifty veal's, and I think that human longevity inai yet be improved ud to that prolongation, for now there is so little room between our cradle and our grave we cannot accomplish much, but who would want to dwell in this world for all eternity! Some think this earth will finally be turned into a heaven. Perhaps it may, but it would have® to undergo radical repairs, aud through eliminations and evolutions and revolutions and transformations infinite, to make it desirable for eternal residence. AH the east winds would have to become west winds, and all the winters changed to springtides, and the volcanoes extinguished, and the oceans chained to their beds, and the epidemics forbidden entrance, and the world so fixed up that I think it would take more to repair this old world than to make an entirely new one. But I must say Ido not care where Heaven is if we can only get there, whether a gardenized American, or an emparadised Europe, or a world central to the whole universe. “To this end was I born.” If each one of us could say that we would go with faces shining and exhilarant amid earth’s worst misfortunes and trials. Only a little while and then the rapture. Only a little i while and then the reunion. Only a little j while and then the transfiguration. In the Seventeenth century all Europe was threatened with a wave of Asiatic barbarism, and Vienna was especially besieged. The King and his court had fled, and nothing could save the city from bejing overwhelmed unless the King of Poland, John Sobieski, to whom they had sent for heln, should, with his army, come down for the relief; and from every roof and tower the inhabitants of Vienna watched and waited and hoped, until on the morning of September 11 the rising sun threw an unusual and unparalleled brilliancy. It was the reflection on the swords and shields aud helmets of John Sobieski and his army coming down over the hills to the rescue: and that day, not only Vienna, but Europe, was saved. And see you not, oh, ve souls, besieged with sin and sorrow, that light breaks in, the swords, and the shields, and the helmets of divine rescue bathed in the rising sun of heavenly deliverance? Let everything else go rather than let Heaven go. What a strange thing it must be to feel one’s self born to an earthly crown, but you have been born for a Throne on which you may reign after the last monarch of all the earth shall have gone to dust. ! I invite you to start now for your own I coronation, to come in and take the title ' deeds to your everlasting inheritance, i Through an impassioned prayer take j Heaven and all of its raptures. What a I poor farthing is all that this world can offer you compared with pardon here and life immortal beyond the stars, unless this side of them there be a place large enough and beautiful enough and grand enough for all the ransomed. Wherever it be, in what world, whether near by or far away, in this or some other constellation, hail home of light and love and blessedness! Through the atoning mercy of Christ, may we all get there. Americans at Hombnrg. A characteristic of Homburg is that a large number of tho visitors are from the United States. Several families cross the Atlantic yearly to drink Homburg water. Whether they would not find as great benefit from the water of Saratoga is out of my power to determine ; but the resemblance between the mineral water of the two places is so great that the effects ought to be similar. But then there are excellent mineral springs in England, yet my countrymen prefer those which are fhr away. If Homburg were in England or in the United States, its attractions i might not be great enough to the eyes of those who now make a long journey I from England, and a still longer and ! far more expensive journey from the United States. In order to visit it. When it was noted for its gaming tables as well as for its waters, the players included many Americans of both sexes. For the ladies from America there is no longer any temptation of tho kind to be resisted or enjoyed; but the gentlemen have discovered a compensation. The speculators in shares aud stocks, in grain, cotton, or pork can amuse themselves in Homburg as easily as in New York or Chicago. Wherever a few Americans are gathered together a “poker” table on temporary stock exchange is soon established. The small American colony here is no exception to tho rule, and sqme of its members contribute no small sum to the cable companies conducting speculation in their beloved land by telegraph. There is something pathetic in the complaint that a wealthy American made to me about the Atlantic trip. He was sometimes sea-sick, but this he could bear. What tried him almost beyond endurance was to be cut off from knowing the state of the markets and from having a chance to make more money by speo* illation.— London Times.

Down by the Brook. ▲ great many pleasant things come to pass when you are down by the brook. In fact, a brook always seems to flow through the very heart of nature. Most wild things love the cool streams in summer. The birds go there to bathe; the raccoons go there to catch craw-fish and water-snails. You will see muskrats swimming along with their noses above the surface, and now and then a mink may dart into a heap of draftwood. The beautiful wood-duck and the queer green herons haunt our bass brooks, and so do the kingfisher and the small white heron. When you are slipping stealthily along beside the stream, looking for a good place to cast your fly, you often come upon these wild things unaware, which gives you an excellent opportunity for studying their habits. One day, some years ago, I was casting in a narrow, weedy stream in the South, and was trying to make my fly fall upon a small pool near the opposite bank, when it went a little too far and settled in a tuft of grass. No sooner had it touched than something grabbed it savagely, and, when I reeled in my line, I found that I had caught a bullfrog! In fly-fishing for bass, you find the streams more easily approached than trout brooks, and there is less in your way when casting. In fact, I can say with confidence to the girls and boys of the St Nicholas household, that they could not wish for better sport than they can get from fly-angling in almost any of our larger brooks, when once the secret of the gentle art is discovered by them. It seems strange that even enthusiastic anglers are just beginning to find out the great merits of the black bass as a game fish to be taken with the fly. All these years men have been making long journeys to Canada and to Northern Michigan for trout and salmon, when the streams that flow through every county of nearly all our States are teeming with bass gamer than salmon and more voracious than trout! Bass brooks, as a rule, are shallow, so that there is little danger of drowning in them, and you can wade where you please. Some girls may think angling is too much like boys’ sport for them; but if they will try it once, some sweet June day, they will change their minds. There is a great deal more fun in wading a clear, running brook, than in wallowing in the surf of the sea; and then, if you get a big bass, he gives you excitement that makes the blood leap in your veins. Some very good and tender-hearted people think of angling as a most cruel and wicked sport. I cannot decide this matter for any one but myself. If you are afraid that killing fish is wicked, don’t angle, for a timid angler never gets a rise or, if he does, he strikes too feebly or too late to get the game. To succeed at ily-fishing, one must go at it with a clear conscience and a steady nerve. Be sure you are right, and then don’t let the fish get away—that is my rule!— Maurice Thompson in St. Nicholas. In an interesting letter to Science .Gossip on the habits of American testudinata, Dr. C. C. Abbott gives some notes of personal observation: “I am inclined to believe that all turtles have, more or less, the faculty of emitting distinct sounds. It is not to be wondered at that our turtles should have voices, for they are by no means sluggish, indolent creatures as is supposed by those who have only observed them indifferently or from afar off. I have frequently seen them got up a “square fight” over some delicate morsel, as a dead fish or drowned squirrel; and, again, while peering over the side of my boat into the clear depths below, I have watched the spotted turtles, two and three together, go through a variety of erratic movements, strongly suggestive of play. Even the solitary land tortoises will, when they meet, gently touch their .noses together, and go through other movements suggesting the expressing of ideas to each other. Indeed, I have never seen any animal as high as, or higher in the scale of development than fishes, that did not possess means of communication of ideas to its fellows. I know not in what other way to explain very many of the acts of these animals. Delight Followed by Torment. What man or woman will deny that a good dinner la a present delight. Equally undeniable ia it that when a well-cooked meal is succeeded by a fit of indigestion, rapture Is converted into torture. Don't charge your dyspepsia to your dinner. No, my dear sir, your gastrio department was out of order, to begin with. Had you regulated it with Hostetter’s Stomooh Bitters, the cargo that you took on board would have been comfortably stowed away without the slightest inconvenience. This incomparable stomachic entirely reforms faulty digestion, and regulates, besides, the liver and the bowels, which must act harmoniously with the digestive . organ, or all three fall out of gear'. Take the Bitters for kidnoy and rheumatic complaints, and in all cases of malaria. As a tonic, appetizer and promoter of convalescence it has no peer. - France’s Economic Problem. Commenting on the low birth rate among the French women, the Medical Record says: “Too them maternity too often means a de fin ate curtailment of daily bread. The situation involves serious questions of social economics. It is a serious loss to a nation when a large proportion of its women are engaged in non-original production, in work that men can do just as well. Their women have engaged in every kind of career, and it has not paid. Such social order is only seemingly progressive. It marks an epoch, ast&geof pure expediency but not necessarily in advance except in comparison with tyrannous times.” J. C. SIMPSON, Marquess, W.

U3| Hml Sleeplessness Cured. IV I am glad to testify that I used Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic with the best success for sleeplessness, and believe that it is really a great relief for suffering humanity. E. FRANK, Pastor. St. Severin, Keylerton P. 0., Pa. Logan, Ohio, Oct. 18, 1890. I used Pastor Koenig’s Nerve Tonic in the case of a 13-year olt' boy for a case of St. Vitus Dance of two years’ standing. His condition was most lamentable, as his limbs were constantly in motion, and at table his hands could not hold knife, fork or spoon. The effect of this medicine was at once noticeable to all, and the boy himself remarked, ‘‘l know it helps ma,” and before the second bottle was used up, he insisted that there was no necessity of taking more as he was entirely outed CARL 11ELFENBERGER.

“German Syrup” The majority of well-read phya*3 icians now believe that tion is a germ disease. In other words, instead erf being in the con-j stitution itself it is caused by merable small creatures living in the lungs having no business there and! eating them away as caterpillars dothe leaves of trees.) A Germ The phlegm that is coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs which have been, gnawed off and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fasten and increase with frightful rapidity. Then German • Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills them, expells them, heals the places they leave, and so nourish and soothe that, in a short time consumptives become germ-proof and well. • Migntatett For a BRIEF PERIOD Only.
