" ' ."'IM Dll TALMAGE’S SERMON. HE DELIVERS A COLUMBUS MEMORIAL DISCOURSE. The Discovery of America Had Mnny Remarkable Features, but It Was Above AH a Religious Discovery—Many Los. sons to Bo Driiwn from IL At tho Tabernacle. The subject last Bunday was, “Half a Planet.” tho text being Deuteronomy HI, 27, “Lift up thine eyes westward.” So God said to Moses In Bible times, and so He said to Cbrlstoforo Colombo, the son of a woof comber of Genoa, more than four hundred years ago. The nations had been looking chiefly toward the East The sculpture of tho world, the architecture of tho world, the laws of tho world, the philosophy of tho world, the civilization Ot tho world, the religion of tho world camo from the East. But while Columbus, as his name was called after it was Latinized, stood studying maps and examining globes and reading cosmography, God said to him, “Lift up thine eyes toward tho West” The fact was It must have seemed to Columbus a very lopsided world—like a cart with one wheel, like a scissors with one blade, like a sack on one side of a' camel, needing a sack on the other side to balance it Here was a bride ot a world with no bridegroom. When God makes a half of anything Ho does not stop there. He makes the other half. Wo are all obliged sometimes to leave things only half done. But God never stops half way. because Ho has tho time and the power to go all the way. Ido not wonder that Columbus was not satisfied with half a world, and so went to work to find tho other half. The pieces of carved wood that were floated to tho shores of Europe by a westerly gale, and two dead human faces, unlike anything ho had seen befpre, likewise floated from tho West, were to him the voice of God saying, “Lift up thine eyes toward the West.” But the world then, as now, had plenty of Can’t-be-dones. That is what Keeps individuals back, and enterprises back, and tho church back, and nations back—ignominious and disgusting and disheartening Can’t-be-dones. said to young Columbus, “It can’t be done.” The Republic of Genoa said, “It can’t be done.” A’lphonso V Said, “It can’t bo done.” A committee on maritime affairs, to whom the subject was submitted, declared, “It can’t be done.” Venetians said, “It can't bo done.” But tho father of Columbus’ wife died, leaving his widow a largo number of sea charts and maps, and as if to condemn the slur that different ages put upon mothers-in-law, the mother-in-law of Columbus gave him the navigator’s materials out of which ho ciphered America. After awhile tho story of this poor but ambitious Columbus reaches the ear of Queen Isabella, and sho pays eighty dollars to buy him a decent suit of clothes, so that he may bo fit to appear before royalty. The interview in tho palace was successful. Money enough was borrowed to fit out the expedition. There they are, the three ships, in the Gulf of Cadiz, Spain. If you ask me which have been the most famous boats of the world, I would say, first, Noah’s ship, that wharfed on Mount Ararat; second, tho boat of bulrushes, in which Moses floated the Nile; third, tho Mayflower, that put out from Plymouth with the Pilgrim Fathers, and now these three vessels that on this the Friday morning, Aug. 3, 1492, are rocking on the ripplos. I am so glad it is Friday, so that the prows of those three ships shall first of all rundown the superstition that things begun or voyager started on Friday must necessarily prove disastrous. Show me any Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Saturday that ever accomplished as much as this expedition that started on Friday. With tho idea that there will be perils connected with the expedition the sacrament of the Lord’s supper is administered. Do not forget that this voyage has begun under religious auspices. There is the Santa Maria, only ninety feet long, with four masts and eight anchors. The captain walking the deck is 57 years old, his hair white, for at 35 ho was gray, and his fate Is round, hfs nose aquiline and bis stature a little taller than the average., I.Jcnpw from his decided step and the set of his jaw that he is a determined man. That is Captain Christopher Columbus. Near by, but far enough off not to run Into each other, are the smaller ships, the Pinta and the Nina, about large enough and safe enough to cross the Hudson River or the Thames in. good weather. There are two doctors in this fleet of ships and a few landsmen, adventurers who are ready to risk their necks in a wild expedition. There are enough provisions for a year. “Captain Columbus, where are you sailing for?” “I do not know.” “How long before you will get there?” “I cannot say.” "All ashore that are going!” is heard, and those who wish to remain go to tho land. Now the anchors of the three ships aro being weighed, and tho ratlins begin to rattle and the sails to unfurl. Tho wind is dead east, and it does not take long to get out to sea. In a few hours the adventurers wish they had not started. The ships begin to roll and pitch. Oh, it is such a delightful sensation for landsmen! They begin to bother Captain Columbus with questions. They want to know what he thinks of tho weather. They want- to know when he thinks ho will probably get there. Every time when he stands taking observations of the sun with an astrolabe they wonder what he sees and asks more questions. The crew are rather grouty. Some of them came on under four months’ advance pay and others were impressed into the service. For sixteen days tho wind is dead east, and that pleases tho captain because it blows them farther and farther away from the European coast and farther on toward the shore of another country, if there is any. ff After awhile there comes a calm day, and the attempt is made to fathom the ocean, and they cannot touch bottom though the line and lead run down 200 fathoms. More delightful sensations for those who are not good sailors! A fathom is six feet, and 200 fathoms 1,200 feet, and below that it may be many, hundred feet deeper. To add interest to tho voyage on the twentieth day out a violent storm sweeps tho sea, and the* Atlantic ocean tries what it can do with the Santa Maria, the Pinta and tho Nina. Some of you know something of what a sea can do with the Umbria, tlje Majestic, tho Teutonic and the City of Paris, and you must imagine what the ocean could do with those three small ships of olden time. You may judge what the ocean was then by what it is now; it has never changed its habits. It can smile like the j morning, but often it is tho archangel of | wrath, and its most rollicking fun is a i shipwreck. The mutinous crow would ' have killed Columbus had it not been for I the general-opinion on shipboard that be ! was the only one that could take them i back home in safety. I The promise of a silk waistcoat and forty dollars in money to the man who should first discover land appeased them somewhat, but the Indignation and blasphemy ana threats of assassination must have been awful Yet God susi talned the great sailor commanding the ,7 ’ ‘

Banta Marla. Every evening on shipboard they had prayers and sung a vesper hymn. But after all tho patience of those on board the ships had been exhausted, and tho great captain or admiral had been cursed by every anathema that human Ups could frame, one night a sailor saw a light moving along the shore, and then moving up and down, and t ion disappearing. On Friday morning at two o'clock.just long enough after Thursday to make It sure that it was Friday, and so give another blow at tho world’s Ideas of unlucky days—on Friday morning, Oct. 12, 1492,a gun from tho Pinta signaled “land ahead.” Thon tho ships lav to and tho boats were lowered, and Captain Christopher Columbus first stepped upon tho shore amid tho Song of birds and the air a surgo of redolence and took possession in tho name of the Father, and the Bon and the Holy Ghost. So the voyage that began with the sacrament ended with "Gloria in Excelils Deo." From that day onward you say there can be nothing for Columbus but honors, rewards, rhapsodies, palaces and world wide applause. No! no! On his way back to Spain the ship was so wrecked by the tempest and so threatened with destruction that he wrote a brief account of his discovery and put ft In a cask and threw It overboard that the world might net lose the advantage of his adventures. Honors awaited him on tho beach, but he undertook a second voyage, and with it came all maligning and persecution and denunciation and poverty. He was called a land grabber, a liar, a cheat, a fraud, a deceiver of nations. Speculators robbed him of his good name, courtiers depreciated his discoveries, and there came to him ruined health and imprisonment and chains, of which he said while he rattled them on his wrists, “I will wear them as a memento of the gratitude of princes.” Amid keen appreciation of the world’s abuse and cruelty, and with body writhing in the tortures of gout, he groaned out his last words, “In manus tans Domino cotnincndo splritum meum” — “Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit” What most impresses mo in all that wondrous life, which for the next twelve months we will be commemorating by sermon and song and military parade and World’s Fair and Congress of Nations, is something I have never heard stated, and that is that the discovery of America was a religious discovery and in tho name of God. Columbus, by the study of the prophecies, and by what Zechariah and Micah and David and Isaiah had said about the “ends of tho earth,” was persuaded to go out and find the “ends ot the earth,” and be felt himself called by God to carry Christianity to the “ends of the earth.” Then the administration of the last supper before they left the Gulf of Cadiz, and tho evening prayers during tho voyage, and the devout ascription as soon as they saw tho New world, and the doxologies with which they landed confirm mo in saying that the discovery of America was a religious discovery. Atheism has no right here; infidelity has no right here; vagabondism has no right hero. And as God is not apt to fail in any of His undertakings (at any rate I have never heard of His having anything to do with a failure), America is going to be Gospelized, and from the Golden Gate of California to the Narrows of New York harbor, and from the top of North America to the foot of South America, from Behring straits to Cape Horn, ' thia is going to bo Immanuel's land. All tho forms of irreligion and abomination that have cursed other parts of the worid will land here —yea, they have already landed —and they will wrangle for the possession of this hemisphere, and they will make great headway and feel themselves almost established. But God will not forget the prophecies which encouraged Columbus about the "ends of the earth seeing the salvation of God,” nor the Christian anthem which Columbus led on the morning of the 12th of October, 1492, on the coast of San Salvador. Like that flock of land birds which met tho Santa Maria and tho Pinta and Nina far out at sca, indicating to the commanders ot that fleet that they were approaching some country, so a whole flock of promises and hopes, golden winged and songful, this morning alight around us, assuring us that we are approaching the glorious period of American evangelization. A divine influence will yet sweep tho continent that will make iniuuitv drop like slacked lime, and make the most blatant infidelity declare it was only joking when it said the Bible was not true, and tho worst atheism announce that It always did believe in the God of nations. Let others call for requiem and dead march. I call for George Frederick Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” There has been much talk of late about communication with other worlds. Mars has come so near we can see its canals, and it has been hoped that by signals after awhile wo may communicate with other stars. Ah, that will not be possible until our world has been reformed and evangelized. It would not do for our world in its lost and ruined state to have communication with otherworlds. It would spoil their morals. But wait until this world is fully redeemed,as it will be, and then perhaps interstellar correspondence may be opened. Till then this smitten and sickened world of ours must be quarantined from coming too near the unfallen worlds. But, thank God, tho prophecies which cheered Columbus in his great undertaking cheer us. America for God! Yea, the round world for God! There can bo no doubt about it! The great Italian navigator also impresses me with the idea that when one does a good thing he cannot appreciate its ramifications. To the moment of his death Columbus never know that he had discovered America, but thought that Cuba was a part of Asia. Ho thought the island Hispaniola was tho Ophir of Solomon. He thought he had only opened a new way to old Asia. Had he known what North and South America were and are, and that he had found a country three thousand miles wide, ten thousand miles long, of seventeen million square miles and four times as large as Europe, the happiness would have been too much for mortal man to enduro. He had no idea that the time would come when a nation of sixty million people on this side of thesea would bo joined by all the intelligent nations on tho other side the sea for tho most part of a year reciting his wonderful deeds. It took centuries to reveal the result of that one transatlantic voyage. While studying tho life of this Italian navigator, I am also reminded of tbe fact that while wo aro diligently looking for one thing we find another. Columbus started to find India, but found America. Go on and do your duty diligently and prayerfully, and if you do not find what you looked for you will find something better. Saul was hunting for the strayed animals of his father’s barn-yard, but met Samuel, the prophet, who gave him a crown of dominion. Nearly all the great inventions and discoveries w6re made by mon who at the tirno were looking for something else. Prof. Morse, gone to perfect himself In chemistry, on returning happens to take the packet ship Sully from Havre, and while in conversation with a passenger learns of some experiments in France which suggest to him the magnetic telegraphy. He went to Europe to learn tho wisdom of others and discovered the telegraph. Hargreaves, by the upsetting of a machine and the motion of its wheels

while upset, discovered tho spinning Jenny. 80, my friend, go on faithfully and promptly with your work, and if you do not 'get the success you seek, and your plans upset, you will got something Just as good and porhaps bettor. Bail ahead on tho voyage of life, keep a correct logbook, brave tho tempest, make the best use of tho cast wind, keep a sharp lookout, and I warrant you In the name of tho God of Columbus that If you do not find Just what you want of an earthly nature you will find Heaven, and that will be bettor. What was wornout India, crouching* under a tropical sun. compared with salubrious and radiant and almost 1111mitablo America, and what is all that this little world in which we live can afford you compared with that supernal realm whoso foliage, and whose fruits, and whoso riches, and whoso population, and whose grandeurs, and whose, worship, and whose Christ make up an affluence that tbe most rapturous vocabulary fails to utter. another look at that career of the admiral of the Santa Marla persuaded mo that it is not to be expected that this world will do Its hard workers full Justice. If any man ought to have been treated well from first to last It was Columbus. He had his faults. Let others depict them. But a greater soul the centuries have not produced. Tills continent ought to have teen called Columbia, after tho hero who discovered it, or Isabelliana, after the queen who furnished tho means for the expedition. Na The world did not do him justice while he was alive, and why should it be expected to do him Justice after ho was dead? Columbus In a dungeon! What a thought! Columbus In irons! What a spectacle! The wife of Robert Murray, after whom Murray Hill, New York, was named, never has received proper credit for detaining at a very rich luncheon tho officers of the opposing army until Washington and his army could escape. Mrs. Murray saved American independence. How tho wrong men and the wrong women get credit that docs not belong to them, while God's heroes and God's heroines go ungarlanded! You have t heard of the brave words of dying Chieftains, but you probably never heard of what a private soldier said, fallen at Rosaca and bleeding under a shell wound in his mouth, and who, through suffering dreadfully from thirst, when a cup of water was offered him, declined to drink, saying, “My mouth is all bloody, sir, and it might make the tin cup bad for others.” The world knows little or nothing of the bravest words and the bravest deeds. In one of tho last letters which Columbus sent to his son, he wrote this lamentation: “I receive nothing of the revenue due me. I live by borrowing. Little have I profited by twenty yeats of service with such toils and perils, since at present I do not own a roof in Spain. I* I desire to eat or sleep, I have no recourse but tbe inn, and for the most times have not wherewithal to pay my bill.” Be not surprised, my hearer, if you suffer injustice. You are in tho best of company—the men and women who wrought mightily for God and the world’s improvement, and got for it chiefly misrepresentation and abuse while they lived, although afterward they may have had a long row of carriages at tho obsequies and a gilt edged set ot resolutions unanimously adopted for the consolation of the bereft household. Do your full duty, expecting no appreciation in this world, but full reward in the world to coipe. And now, while I am thinking of this illustrious ship captain of Genoa, let me bespeak higher appreciation for the ship captains now in service, many of them this moment on the sea, the lives of tens of thousands qf passengers in theit keeping. What an awful responsibility is theirs! They go out through tho Narrows or start from Queenstown or Southampton or Glasgow not knowing what cyclone or collisions or midnight perils are waiting for them. It requires bravery to face an army of men, but far more bravery to face an army of Atlantic surges led on by hurricanes. A more stupendous scene is not to be witnessed than that of a ship captain walking the bridge of a steamer in the midst of a cyclone! Remember, those heroes in your prayers, and when worn out in the service, and they have to command inferior craft or return to the land ana go out of service, do them full honor for what they once were. Let the ship companies award them pensions worthy of what they endured until they start on their last voyage from this world to the next. Aye, that voyage we must all take, landsmen as well as seafarers. Let us be sure that wo have the right pilot, and the right chart, and the right captain and that we start in tho right direction. It will be to each of us who love the Lord a voyage more wonderful for discovery than that which Columbus took, for after all wo have heard about that other world we know not where it is or how it looks, and it will be as new as San Salvador was to the glorious captain of the Santa Marij. “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man.’# May tho light from that golden beach 1 flash on the darkness, and wo be able to ■ step ashore amid groves and orchards ; and aromas such as this world's atmos- ; phere never ripened or breathed! Ave, fellow mariners, over the rough sea of this life, through the fogs and mists of earth, see you not already tho outline of the better country? Land, ahead! Land ahead! Nearer and nearer we come to heavenly wharfage. Throw out the planks, and step ashore.into the arms of your kindred, who have been waiting and watching for the hour of your disembarkation. Through tho rich grace of Christ, our Lord, may we all have such blissful arrival! Miraculous Recovery. On Dec. 4, 1876, John Harris, a miner, was working at the bottom of the Yellow Jacket shaft, Gold Hill, Cal. Through the carelessness of one of the workmen at the top of the shaft an ax ■was dropped through the mouth of tbe pit, which in i's descent struck Harris on the head, the keen edge cleaving his skull diagonally and stretching him at full length in a bleeding and supposed dying condition. He was immediately conveyed to the open air and medical attendance summoned, although his death was expected at any moment The sufferer prdved tobe very tenacious of life and the attending surgeon decided to remove the injured portions of the skull, which was accomplished successfully, thirteen pieces, covering an area.Of 3jif24 inches on the apex of the cranium, being taken out. Strange to say, Harris began to improve, and at the expiration of a few weeks the fhsh had grown over the aperture and he was apparently as well as ever. Harris has since been to England, his native i country, and applied tn the surgeons of Guy’s Hospital, in London,Jto perform the trepanning operation, which they refused to do under the circumstances, as the wound had entirely healed and they deemed it prudent to let well enough alone. They, however, prpnounced his recovery one of the miraculous events of the century, and were at a loss to account for it upon any surgical hypothesis. Mr. Harris is still engaged in mining, and claims to be able to perform as much work with tho pick and drill m any of his comrades.

An Incident of Gambetta's Downfall A trifl ng circnmaUnco rendered the I situation more tense. The Mayor of Belleville, a Gambettist, got up, in the interest of his party, a popular banquet in the Lime Tree Garden at Menilmontant, tho most democratic part of his arrondissement. Tbe great oator was there to oxplkin his policy, in a way to meet the attacks which the press was beginning to make. In the of which about 900 wefe issued, the hour stated was 7 o’clock. This was understood to mean half-past 7. But the dinner was not served until after half-post 8. Gambetta Lad not come. Tbe landlord insisted upon not waiting any longer. Two places were kept vacant at the table of honor. At 9 “the guest of the evening" and Bpnller entered to fill them. Whether, liabituated at tho Palais Bourbon to the dishes of Trompette, they had grown too dainty for the plain cooking of Menilmontant. or for what other reason, it does not appear, they had both dined with a few friends at a restaurant. They did not at the banquet even go through the polite comedy of pretending' to eat. No apology was offered either at the time, nor afterward in the press; a polite fib, though a transparent one, would have calmed irritation. Punctuality, it was remarked sotto voce, was the politeness of Kings; but the elect of the millions thought themselves higher than born sovereigns. The speech which followed the banquet was listened to with icy coldness. The orator went back to the Petit Bourbon heavy and discontented. He had for ten years given a mighty impulsion in a democratic sense. Ministers had been made to ieel that universal-suffrage was everything, and the executive but its instrument. As President of the Budget Committee, he had made them realize that power of the purse was vested in the Chambers, and he hod hotly contested the position of M. Jul Os Simon that tho Senate had a right to amend the budget. He Lad agitated for revision of tbe judicial bench, and the democratization of the army. Suddenly he turned round and attempted to push back the torrent which he had set flowing. Its impetus was too great for him to withstand, and it has pursued its course, bearing with it other men less renowned. — Century Magazine. Staking a Life on a Card. The long and prosperous career of Flotow, the composer, was temporarily clouded in 1864 by the death of his youngest brother, which took place under painfully dramatic circumstances. He was rather what is euphemistically called a “wild” fellow, and a practical joke which he perpetrated in a halfdrunken freak was taken as an insult by the whole body of the Mecklenburg deputies, of whom he himself was one. A dozen challenges ensued and young De Flotow agreed to meet any single antagonist selected by lot. This, as it happened, turned out to be a certain Count Z., one of the deputies who resented the offense most keenly. On De Flotow’s asking him if he thought a stupid joke worth fighting about an<J receiving an emphatic answer in the affirmative, “Be it so,” he said; “and, if you attach as little value to life as' I do. ■we will fight in the American fashion—l staking my life against yours in a game §f ecarte of five points; the loser to blow out his brains in twenty-four hours.” The proposition was agreed to, cards were brought and the two men commenced their terrible game. The score stood at four points on each side, when Count Z. turned the king. “You have won, sir," said De Flotow, rising; “I will pay before noon to-morrow.” Next day he slept till 11. After breakfast he took a turn in the park, and was observed by his valet gazing for some minutes at the facade of the ancestral mansion; after which he hid his face in his hands for a moment, as if weeping. He then pulled out his watch! It wanted but five minutes of noon. M. De Flotow entered his study. At 12 precisely the report of a pistol shook the window-panes. He had punctually killed himself.— St. James Gotette. Keep Off the Enemy. A foe who lurks in smbuah Is a more dangerous antagonist than one who attacks ua in the open field, and for whose assaults we are, in a measure, prepared. That dangerous enemy to health, malaria, must be encountered fully armed. Its thrusts are sudden, unexpected and deadly, and ean only he guarded against with certainty by fortifying the system by a course of defensive medication. The surest defense against chills and fever, bilious re-, mittant, dumb ague, and ague cake is Hostetter’s Steinach Bitters, which is also an eradicate! of the most obstinate forms ot malaria which resist the action of ordinary specifics, and the virus of which remains in the system even when the more violent symptoms are subdued. Constipation, liver complaint, dyspepsia, and kidney troubles are always relieved by this genial remedy. His True Title. A man who lived near the Barrys was devoted to the harp, and “practiced” with commendable assiduity. But some people do not enjoy music. The other night Miss Barry said: “Uncle Charles, tho Bible says ’harper,’ but I notice that the newspaper critics usually write ‘harpist.’ 1 wonder which form is the more correct. If you were speaking of Mr. Cross in the next house, which should you call him, a harper or a harpist?’’ “Neither,” said Uncle Charles, with the utmost promptness; “if I called him anything I should call him a confounded nuisance.” A.

P., the leader of the anti-Parnellite wing in the Irish party, is the son of the janitor at the Lismore Poor-house, County Waterford. He has distinguished himself by the bitterness of his attacks upon his enemies. His speeches have led to more riots than those of any other man connected with Irish politics. He is evidently no believer in the adage “that molasses catches more flies than vinegar,” but afterall mildness is as effectual in politics as in medicine. The distinguishing characteristics of the Laxative Gum Drops is their freedom from all deleterious substances and the gentleness with which they do their work. They are most effectual in cases of lons continued constipation. They are absolutely safe, while they will cure any bowel or stomach trouble.
