DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. — —— FIRST CLOCK OF WHICH THE WORLD HAS KNOWLEDQE. Tbo Flight of Time—Oort Kulm tlw Hliadow»—iJayur.aß on the Haight. Os the Mountain Top.— Full it. port or • Itetnarltabln Dl.cour*#, <\ ' Sundial of Aha*. Dr. Tolmago’a t«xt wan II Kings xx, 11, “And Isaiah tho prophet cried unto tho Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had « gono down In tho dial of Aha/.."’ a' Here Is the first clock or watch or " chronometer or timepiece of which tne world has auy knowledge. But it was a watch that did not tick and a clock ■ that did not strike. It was a sundial. Altar, the king, invonted It. Detwoon the hours given to statecraft and tho cares of otllce ho Invented 'something by which ho could toll the time of day. This sundial may have been a groat column, and when the shadow of ,that column reached one point It was 9 o’clock а. at., and wlteu It reached another point it was 3 o'clock p. in., and all tho h our aud half hours were so measured. Or It may have benn a (light of stairs such as may now be found lu Hindustan and other old. countries, and when the shadow reached one step It was 10 o’clock o. m., or another step It was 4 o'clock p. in., and likewise other hours way have been Indicated. “ The clepsydra or water clock followed the sundial, and the sandglass followed clopsydra. Elion came the candle clock of Alfred the Great, and the candle was marked Into three parts, and while tho first part was burning he gave himself to religion, and while the second part was burning ho gave himself to politics, and while the third part was burning ho gave himself to rest. After awhllo came the wheel and woight cldtk, and Pope Sylvester the Second was Its most important Inventor. And tho skill of centuries of exquisite mechanism toiled at the timepieces until the world had the Vick’s clock of the Fourteenth century, and Iluyghcns, the Inventor, sw.ung the first pendulum, and Dr. Hooke contrived the recoil escapement ' And tho “endless chain” followed, and tho “ratchet and pinion lover' 1 took t. Its place, and tho compensation balance and the stemwindcr followed, and now we have tho buzz and clang of the great clock and watch factories of Switzerland and Germany and England and America turning out what seems to bo the perfection of tlmcploces. It took the world б, years to make the present chronometer. So with the measurement of longer spaces than minutes and hoars. Time was calculated from new moon to new moon; thor. from harvest to harvest Then the year was pronounced to be 354 days aud then 360 days aud, not until a long while after, 305 days. Then eveots wore calculated from the foundation es Koine. afterward from the Olympic games. Then tho Babylonians had their measurement of the year, and the Bomans theirs, and the Armenians theirs, and the Hindoos theirs. Chronology was busy for centuries studying monuments, Inscriptions, coins, mummies, and astronomy, trying to lay a plan by which all questions of dates might be settled and events put in their right place in tho procession of the ages. But the chronologists only heaped up a mountain of confusion and bewilderment until in the sixth century Dionysius Exiguus, a Eomnn abbot, said, “Let everything date from tho birth at Bethlehem of the Lord Jesus Christ, tho Saviour of tho world. The abbot proposed to have thiogs - dated backward and forward from that great event What a splendid thought tor the world! What a mighty thing for Christianity! It would have been most natural to date everything from tho creation of world, But I am glad the chronologists could not easily guess how old the world was lu ordor to get the nations in the habit of dating from that occurrence in its documents and histories. * Forever fixed Is It that all history Is to be dated with reterence to tho birth of Christ, and, this matter settled, Hales, l#io chief chronologist, declared that the world was made 5,411 years bofore Christ, and the deluge came 3,150 years. before Christ, aud all tho illustrious events of the last nineteen centuries and all the great events of all time to come have been or shall be dated from the. birth of Christ Those things, I say that you may know what a watch is, what a clock is, what an almanac is, and learn to appreciate through what tolls and hardships ana perplexities the world came to its present conveniences aild comforts, and to help you to more respectful consideration of the sundial of Ahaz planted in my text We are told that Hezeklah, tho king, was dying of a boil. It must have boon one of the worst kind of carbuncles, a boil without any central core and sometimes dcathful. A fig was put upon it as a poultlco. Hozokiah did not want to die then. His son, who was to take the kingdom, had not yet been born, and Hezekiah’s death would have been the death of tho nattou. So ne prays lor recovery and is told he will get woll. But ho wants some nilraoulous sign to make him sure of it. Ho has tho choice of having the shadow on tho sundial of Ahaz advance or retreat Ho replied it would not be so wonderful to have tho sun go down, for it always goes down sooner or later. He asks that it go baefe- - -warttr "lb 6Cfi%T words/"let tlfe~ dayiTustead of going on toward sundown, turn and go toward sunrise. , I see the Invalid king bolstered up and wrapped in blankets looking out of the window upon the sundial In the courtyard. While he watches the shadow on tho dial the shadow begins to retreat Instead of going on toward 0 o’clock in the evening it goes back toward 0 o’clock In the morning. The fig poultice had been drawing for some time, and, sure enough, the boil broke and Hezeklah got well. Now I expect you will come on with your higher criticism and try to explain this away and say it was au optical delusion of Hezeklah, and tho shadow only seemed to go back or a cloud came over and It was uncertain which way tho shadow did go, and as Hezeklah cxpectod It to go back ho took the action of his own mind for the retrograde movement No; the shadow Went back on all tho 4lals of that land and other lands. At the opening of a new year people yStre moralizing on the flight of time, r l.you all fell that you are moving on toward sundown aud many of you are under a consequent depression. I propose this morning to sot the hands on your watches and clocks to going the other Tip I propose ts-toOW—yon how yowmay make the shadow of your dial, like , the shadow on the dial of Ahaz. to stop * going forward and make it go hackle ward. You think I have a big undor- • taking on hand, but it can be done, if the same Lord who reversed the shadow In Hezeklah’s courtyard moves upon us. \ybilo looking at the sundial of Hozo- <■ klah, and wo find tho shadow retreating, we aught to loam that God controls the shadows. Wn are all ready to aoknowl- ? edgo His management of the sunshine. We stand In tho glow of a bright raornnitd we sxy in oiir feelfngs, ts net with so pa»ny words; “This life la from % God. This warmth is from God.” Or we have a rush of prosperity, and we say: “These successes aro from God. What a providential thing It I

/ bought that lot Just before tho rise ot real estate! Hew grateful to God lam that I made that Investmontl Why, they have declared 10 per cent dividend! What a morev It wan that 1 sold out fay shares boforo that collapse!” Oh, ye\ wo acknowledge God in the sunshine o' a bright day or the sunshine of a groat prosperity. But suppose the day Is dark? You have to light the gas at noon. Tho sun does not show himself all day long. There la nothing but shadow. How slow we aro to (oalizo that the storm Is from God and the darkness from God and tho chill from God. Or wo buy tho day bofore the market’s retreat, or wo make an Investment that never pays, or wo purcha«o goods that we cannot dispose ot, or a crop of grain wo sowed is mined by drought or freshet, or when we took account of stock on tho Ist of January we found ourselves thousands of dollars worse off than wo expected. Who under such circumstances says: “This loss Is from God. I must have been allowed to go ki that unfortunate enterprise for some good reason; God controls tho oast wind as well as the west wind.” My friends, I cannot look for one moment, on that retrogade shadow on Aflaz’s dial without learning that God controls the shadows and that lesson we need all to learn. That He controls tho sunshine is not so nceessury a lesson, for anybody can be happy when things go right. When you sleep eight hours a night and rlso with nn appetite that cannot easily wait for breakfast, and you go ovor to Gio store and open vour mail to read more orders than you can fill, and In the next letter you Gnd a dividend far larger than vou have been promised, and your neighbor comes in to tell you some flattering thing ho has Just heard said about you, and you find that all the styles of goo< s in which you deal have advanced 15 per cent, in value, and on your way homo you meet, your chlldreu lu full romp, and there are rosesxm tho center of tho tea-table and roses of health in cheeks all round tho table, what moro do you want of consolation? 1 don’t pity ydh a bit You feel as If you cbuld boss the world. But for those In just opnosite circumstances my text comes in w,th au omnipotence of meaning. The shadow! Oh. the shadow! Shadow of bereavement! Shadow of sickness! Shadow of bankruptcy! Shadow of mental doprossWn! Shadow of persecution' Shadow ot death! Speak out, O sundial of Aho«. and tell all tho people that God manages the shadow! As Hesoklah sat itr his palace window, wrapped in invalidism and surrounded by anodynes and cataplasms, and looked out upon the black hand of the only clock known at that time aud saw It move back ten degrees, he learned a lesson that a majority of the human race need this hour to learn—-that the best friend a man ever had controls the shadow. The sotbacks are sometimes the best things that can happen. I never had a setback but It turned out to be a set forward. You never would have become a Christian If you had not had a setback. The highest thrones In Heaven ore for the setbacks. In 1861 the shadow of tho sundial of this nation was set back and all things seemed going to ruin, and it was set back farther In 1802. and farther in 1863, and still farther in 1865, but thera is not an intelligent and well balanced man. North or South, East or West, but teols it was a setback toward the sunrise. Bqt 1 promised to show you how tho shadows might be turned back. First, by goiug much among the young people. In most family cirelos there are grandchildren. By this divine arrangement most of the people who have passed the meridian ot life can compass themselves by juvenility. It is a bad thing for an old man or old woman to sit looking at tho vivacity of their grandchildren shouting,* “Stop that racket!" Better join in the fun. Let the 80-year-oid grandfather ioln the 8-year-young grandson or granddaughter. My father and mother lived to see over eighty children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, and a more boisterous crow were never turned out on this sublunary sphere, and they all seemed to cry to the old . folks “Keep young,” and they did keep-' young. Don’t Walk with a cane unless you have to, or only as defense in a eitv afflicted with too many canines. Don’t wear glasses stronger than necessary, putting on number tens wheu eighteens , will do as well Don’t go into tho company of those who are always talking about rheumatism aud lumbago aud shortness of bruath and the brevity of human life. It is too much for my gravity to hear an octogenarian talking about tbe shortness of human life. From all I can find out he has always been here, and from present prospects ho is always golug'to stay. Remain young. Hang up your stockings in Christmas time. Help the boys fly the- kite. Toach the girls how to dress their dolls. Better than arnica for your stiff Joints and catnip tea for your sleepless nights will be a large dose of youthful companionship. Set back tho clock of human life. Mako the shadow of tho sundial of Ahaz retreat ten degrees. People make themselvos old by always talking about being old and wishing for the good old days which wore never as good as theso days. From all 1 can hear the grandchildren are not half as bad as the grandparents were. Matters have boon hushed up. But If you have,ever been In a room adjoining a room whore sorao very old people a little deaf were talking over old times you will find that this .age does not monopolize all the young rascals. It may now be hard to get young people up early enough In the morning, but their tfrahdparehts always had to bo pulled out of bed! It is wrong nbw to play mischievous tricks on the uususpectlug, but eighty years ago at school that now venerable man sat down on a crooked pin not accidentally placed there, and purposely drovo the sleigh riding party too near the edge of the embaiiKment that he might see how they would look when tumbled Into the snow. And that man who has so littlo patience with childish exuberance was ip olden times up to pranks one-half of whlfch, if practiced by tho 8-year-old of to-day, would sot grandfathor and grandmother crazy. Revive yourTomombrance of what you were between 5 and 10 years of age, and with patience capable of everything join with tho yoting. Put back the shadow of the dial not ten degrees, but fifty aud sixty and seventy degrees. Set back your clocks also by entering on new and absordlng Christian work.In our desire to Inspire tho young we have in'* our essays had much to say about what has been accomplished by the young; of Romulus, who founded Romo when he was 20 yeaVs of ago; of Cortes, who had cohquorod Mexico at 30 years; of Pitt, who was Prime Minister -of Biigiauu, wt 34 -years; or Raphael, who died at 37 years: of Calvin, who wrote his institutes at 26; of Melancthon, who took ff'loarned professor’s chair at 21 years; pf Emtber, who had conquered Germany tor the Reformation by the time ho was 35 years, But while looking at this sundial of ’fihaz and I see the shadow of it move I notice that it went back toward the sunrise instead of forward toward the sunset— toward .the morning Instead of toward the ntgfit. That thing the world is Willing now to do and in many case* done. Tfierb SavS“ a”gf6at m any things been written and spoken about the sunsot est life. I have said some of them myself. But ray text suggests a better idea. The Lord who turned back that day from going toward sundown and ‘ 'J' ; . '.i

t? jv* y r i' v> . •y started It towxi i sunrise is willing to do the samo thing tor all of us. The theologians who stick to old religious technicalities until they become soporifics would not call It anything but conversion. I call It a change from going toward sundown to going toward sunrise. That man who never trios to unbuckle tho clasp, of evil habit, and who keeps all tbo sins of tho past and the present freighting him, and who Ignores tho one redemption made by the only One could redeem—if that man will examine tbo sundial lie will find that tbo shadow Is going forward and ho Is on the wav to sundown. Ills day is on the road to night. All tho watchos that tick, all the clocks that strike, all the sandglasses that empty themselves, all the shadows that movo on all tho sundials indicate the approach of darkness. But now, in answer to prayer, as in my text the change was In answer to prayer, tho pardoning Lord reverses things ami tho man starts toward sunrise instead of sunset. no turns the other way. Tho Captain of Salvation gives him >he military command; “Attention! Right about face!” He was marching toward indifference, marching toward hardness of heart, -marching toward prayoHossness, marching toward sin, marching toward gloom, marching toward death. Now he turns and marches toward peace, marches toward light and marches toward comfort aud marches toward high hope and marches toward a triumph stupendous and everlasting, toward hosannas that ever hoist and hallelujahs that ever roll. Now if that is not tho turning of the Shadow on tbe dial of Abaz from going toward sundown to going toward sunrise, what is it? 1 have seen daybreak over Mont BI&dc and the Matterhorn, over tho heights of Lebanon, over Mount Washington, over tho Sierra Nevadasand mid-Atlantic, the morning after a departed storm when tbo billows were liquid Alps and liquid Sierra Nevadas, but tbe sunrise oi tho soul is more effulgent and more transporting. It bathes all the heights of the soul and illumines ail the depths of the soul and whelms all the faculties, all the aspirations, ail the ambitions, all tbe hopes with a light that sicknoss cannot eclipse or death extinguish or eternity do anything but augment and magnify. I preach the sunrise. As I look at that retrograde movement of the shadow on Ahaz's dial, I remember that it was a sign that Hezekiah was going to get well, and he got well. So I have to tell ail you who are by tho grace of God having your day turned from deeiinq- toward night to ascent toward morning, that you are going to get well—well of all your sins, well of all your sorrows, well of all your earthly distresses. Sunrise! But, .says some one, all that you say may be true, but that docs not binder the horrors of dissolution. Why, you who aro the Lord’s are not going to die. Ail that the grave gets of you as compared with your chief, your immortal uaturo, Is as the cllppiugs of your finger nails as compared with your whole body. As you run the scissors along thb edge of your thumbnail and ybu cut off that which Is of no use but rather a hindrance, you do not mourn over the departure of that fragment which flies away. Death will be only the scissoring off of that which could be of no use, and the soul has no funeral over that which would be an awful nuisance if we could not get rid of it This bony as it now is, wbat a failure it would make of Heaven if our departing sou' had to be burdened with it in the next world! While others there go 10,000 miles a minute we would take about an hour to walk tour-miles, and while our neighbor immortals could seo a hundred wiles we could see only ten miles and tho fleetost and healthiest of our bodies if seen there would make it necessary to open in Heaven an asylum for cripples No, no; one of tho best possible things that w ill happen to us will be the sloughing off of this body wheu we have no more use for it in its present state. When it shall come up in its resurrected we will be very glad to get it back again, but not as it is now with fts limitations and bedwarfments innumerable. Sunrise! There shalM bathe my weary soul lu seas of heavenly rest. And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. Sunrise! But not like one of those mornings aft# you had gone to bed late or did not sleep well, and you get up chilled and yawning, and tbe morning bath is a repulsion, and you feel like saying to the morning sun shining into your window. “I do not see what you find to smile about; your brightness is to me a mockery.” But the inrush of the next world will be a morning after a sound sleep, a sleep that nothing can disturb, and you will rise, the sunshine in your faces, and In your first morning in Heaven you will wade down into the sea of glass mingled with fire, the foam on fire with a splendor you never saw on earth, and tho rolling waves are doxologles, and the rocks of that shore are golden and the pebbles of that beach are pearl, and tho skies that arch the scene are a commingling of all tho colors that St. John saw on the wall of Heaven, the crimson, and the bine, and the saffron, and tbe orange, and the purple, and the gold, and the green, wrought ou those skies in shape of garlands, of banners, of ladders, of chariots, of crowns, of thrones. What a sunrise! Do you not feel its warmth on your faces? Scovllle McCollum, the dying boy of our Sunday-school, uttered what shall bo the peroration of this sermon—“ Throw back tho shutters and let the sun In!” And so the shadow of Ahaz’s sundial turns from sunset to sunrise. - ' ■ Man Belongs to the Soil. Separated from the soil, man never yet has suoceeded in thriving. At best, without it he is a potted plant, and some of the pots are miserably small. I have visited many factories in New England, and find that , wherever the operatives have a reasonable chance at the soil, where every family can have a good-sized garden, with access to pasture for a cow, the people are healthy, contented and saving. Wherever tins; is the case, the factory population is able to live without actual starvation or extreme destitution in the event of the mills being closed for even a very long period. Whenever they arp separated from the soil, as in some of our large cities, there is squalor, demoralization and despoil-.— James Pai'ton. Car-Conductor Attachments.

The conductors complain that sometimes passengers catoh hold of and turn them around, like as if they were wooden men, in order to see what time it is.

tl i t I A Tetenm of (he Mexican War. Samuel L. McFadin whose portrait appears above, is a prominent citizen of Logansport, Ind., gnd one of but seventeen surviving veterans of a company of ninety-two young men who left that city forty five years ago for the seat of War in Mexico. He now holds the position of Marshall of National Association, and although well advanced in years is still hearty and hale. In writing of his health he says ;—I had been troubled for a long time with rheumatism. Kidney and Liver Complaint and could hardly get around. Suffered great pain night and day. After trying many different kinds of medicines and finding no relief, at last through the advice of a friend I purchased Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root from one of our leading Druggists, B. F. Kesling, and must say it has helped me wonderfully, as I now walk without pain. Ibis the only medicine that has done me any good, and has been a great benefit in invigorating and building up my system, greatly assisting the liver, kidneys and digestive organa This is the first recommendation I have ever given a medicine and it affords me pleasure to call the attention of the public to the merits of this wonderful specific. Those who try Swamp-Root have generally first employed the family physician, or used all the prescriptions within their reach without benefit. As a last resort, when their case has become chronic, the symptoms complicated and their constitution run down, then they take tliis remedy, and it is just such cases and cures that have made Swamp-Root famous and given it a world-wide reputation. ■"" ' f The Duke of Calvino, who was captured by brigands in the neighborhood of Trapani, was released by his captors on payment of a ransom of 150,0tHl francs by his family, who never expected to see him again, he being very obese, advanced in age and afflicted with a nervous malady. He had passed thirtyfive days with the brigands, and, strange to say, the treatment he had received, though by no meats ple&sant, had the effect of completely curing: him. The Duke relates that in the night when he was taken he was put on horseback and made to ride till next morning, when the brigands stopped at a kind of warehouse. There he remained the first cfcy, and wrote, at his captors dictation, a letter to his family asking them to send the above named ransom. In the evening the journey was resumed, aud as the rain was faUing in torrents, the Duke was clad in some tarpaulin, and a sack was placed over his head to protect him. The second night the party reached an abandoned shed, where the Duke was left, with a guard outside the door. The third night the journey was continued, and ended at the place des- „ tined beforehand for the Duke’s concealment. He had to enter this retreat on hands and knees, through a narrow opening, into a cave, and then through a second hole into a subterranean grotto. Here he remained for thirty days without any light, lying on a bundle of straw, which was never changed. His food consisted of bread and cheese and water. The brigands left him alone, only returning to bring food. By the light of a lamp, which was lowered from above, they forced him to write other pressing letters to his family, and dictated what he should say. His family, to obtain his release, used their utmost influence to prevent the military authorities from pursuing the brigands until the ransom had been safely paid and received. The band liberated their victim after having conducted him on foot for a considerable distance,to the territory of Castellamare, where a peasant’s house had been indicated to him, whence he would be conducted by tho inmates to Trapani, about twenty miles distant. —London Standard. It has been kindly arranged by the Author of man and nature that he shall love the future more than he shall regret the past. When the soul is free to move and does not know of any gathering storm for the morrow, when the child of earth has health of mind and body, is not struggling with debt or crime, nor is in the toils of injustice, then the future is always more smiling than the past is dark. AU being in a normal condition the future will always outweigh the past in the great balances of excellence. The past is a trembling, dying man; but the future is a strong, beautiful youth. Nature was thus fashioned to induce society to look forward and draw- its inspiration from an advance instead of from a desire to halt or retreat,— Prof. David Swing. The Crank and the Dealer.

A new discovery has been made by railroad clerks in Pittsburgh regarding the saving of lead pencils. Tho new idea to preserve a soft pencil Is to take a gross of tho useful article and place them in a Jar of linseed oil. Allow them to remain in soak until the oil thoroughly permeates every particle of the wood and lead. This has the effect ofSoftcning the mineral, at the same time rahking it tough and durable. It has beep found very useful and' saving, an ordinary pencil being used twice as long under the new treatment.
