DU. TALMAGE'S SERMON. HE DRAWS A LESSON FROM THE MIGRATORY BIROS. Warned by Divine InsUnet They Stretch Tbeir Wing. Toward the South, tent Man la the Pride of Ute Intellect Diuregante a Greater Warning. At the Tabernacle. This sermon was on the text, Jeremiah vllt 7, “The stork In the heaven knownth her appointed times, and the turtle, snd the crane, and the swallow observe the time ot their coming; but my people know not the Judgment of the Lord.” When God would set fast a beautiful thought He plants it In a tree. When He would put It afloat he fashions it Into a fish. When He would have It glide the air He molds it Into a bird. My text speaks of four birds of beautiful Instinct —the stork, iof such strong affection that It is allowed familiarly to cpme, In Holland aud/Germany, and build its nest over the daipr-wav; the sweet dlsposlttoned turtledove, mingling in color white and black and brown and ashen and chestnut; the crane, with voice like the clang of a trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart shot out of the bow of heaven, falling, mounting, skimming, sailing—four birds started by the prophet twenty-five centuries ego, yet flying on through the ages, with rousing truth under glossy wing and In the clutch ot stout claw. I suppose it may have been this very season ot the year—autumn—and the prophet out of doors, thinking of the impenitence of the people of his day, hears a great cry overhead. Now you know it is no easy thing for one with ordinary delicacy of eyesight to look into the deep blue of the noonday heaven, but the prophet looks up, and there are flocks of storks and turtledoves and cranes and swallows drawn out in long lines for flight southward. As is their habit, the cranes had arranged themselve* into two lines, making an angle—a wedge splitting the air with wild velocity—the old crane, with commanding call, bidding them onward, while the towns, and the cities, and the continents slid under them. The prophet, almost blinded from looking into the dazzling heavens, stoops down and begins to think how ranch superior the birds are in sagacity about their safety than men about theirs, and he puts his hand upon the pen and begins to write, “The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle? and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the Judgment of the Lord.” If you were tn the field to-day, in the clump of trees at the corner of the field you would see a convention of birds, noisy as the "American Congress the last night before adjournment, or as the English Parliament when some unfortunate member proposes more economy in the Queen’s household —a convention of birds all talking at once, moving and passing resolutions on the subject of migration, some proposing to go to-morrow, some moving that they go to-day, some moving that they go to Brazil, some to Florida, some to the tablelands of Mexico, but all unanimous In tie fact that they must go soon, for they have marching orders from the Lord, written on the first white sheet of the frost and in the pictorial of the changing leaves. There is not a belted kingfisher, or a chaffinch, or a fire-crested wren, or a plover, or a red-legged partridge but expects to spend the winter at the South, for the apartments have already been ordered for them in South America or in Africa, and after ths usands of miles of flight they will stop in the very tree where they spent last January. Farewell, bright plumage! Until spring weather, away! Fly on, great band of heavenly musicians! Strew the continents with music, and whether from Northern fields, or Carolinian swamps, or Brazilian groves men see your wings or hear your voice, may they bethink themselves of the solemn words of the text, “The stork in the Heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the Judgment of the Lord.” I propose, so far as God may help me, this morning, carrying out the Idea of the text, to show that the birds of the air have more sagacity than men. And I begin by particularizing and saying that they mingle music with their work. The most serious undertaking of a bird’s life Is this annual travel from the Hudson to the Amazon, from the Thames to the Nile. Naturalists teil us that they arrive there thin and weary and plumage ruffled, and yet they go singing all the way; the ground, the lower line of the music; the sky, the upper lino of the music; themselves, the notes scattered up and down between. I suppose their song gives elasticity to their wing and helps on with the journey, dwindling a thousand miles into four hundred. Would to God that we were as wise as they in mingling Christian song with our everyday workl * I believe there is such a thing as taking the pitch of Christian devotion in the morning and keeping it all the day. I think We might take some of the dullest, heaviest, most disagreeable work of our hfe and set it to the, tune of “Antioch” ar “Mount Pisgah.” It is a good sign when you bear a workman whistle. It Is a better sign when you hear him hum a roundelay. It is a still better sign when you bear him sing the words of Isaac Watts or Charles Wesley. A violin chorded and strung, if something accidentally strike it,makes music, and I suppose there is such a thing as having our hearts so attuned by divine grace that even the rough collisions of life will make a heavenly vibration. Ido not believe that the power of Christian song has yet been fully tried. I believe that if you could roll the *old Handred” doxology through Wall street it would put an end to qny financial disturbance! I believe that the discords, and the sorrows, and the sins of the world are to be sWeptout by heaven born halleluiahs. Some one asked Haydn, the celebrated musician, why he always composed such cheerful music. “Why,” he said, "1 can't do otherwise. When I think of God my soul is so full of Joy that the notes leap *nd dance from my pen.” I wish we might all exalt melodiously before the Lord. With God for our Father and Christ for our Saviour, and heaven for our home, and angels for future companions, and eternity for a lifetime, we should strike all the notes of Joy. Going through the wilderness of this world let us remember that we are on the way to the summery dime of heaven, and from the migratory populations flying through this autumnal air learn always to keep ainglng. Children of the heavenly king. Ab ye journey sweetly sing; Bing your Bavionr'a worthy praise, Glorious In His works and ways. Ye are traveling home to God, In the way your tethers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall sea. The church of God never will boa triumphant church until it becomes a singing church. I go further and remark that the birds of the air are wiser than we in the fact that in their migration they fly very high. Durtnff the summer, when they are in the fields, they often come within, reach of the gun, but when they start for the annual flight southward they take their place midheaven and go straight aa an arrow to the mark. The

longest rille that was ever brought to shoulder cannot reach them. Would to God that wo were as wise as. the stork and crane In our flight heavenward! We fly so low that we are within easy range of the world, the flesh and the devil. We are brought down by temptations that ought not to qpmo within a mile of reaching us. Oh, for some of the faith of George Muller, of England, and Alfred Cookman, once of the church militant, now of the church triumphant! So poor Is the type of piety In the church of God now that men actually caricature the Idea that there Is any such thing as a higher, life. Moles never did believe in eagles. But, my brethren, because wo have not reached those heights ourselves, shell we deride the fact that there are any such heights? A man was once talking to Brunel, the famous engineer, about the length of tho railroad from London to Bristol. Tho engineer said: “It is not very great We shall have after awhile a steamer running from England to New York." They laughed him to scorn, but we have gone so far now that we have ceased to laugh at anything as impossible for human achievement Then, I ask, is anything Impossible for the Lord? Ido not believe that God exhausted all his grace in Paul and Latimer and Edward Payson. I believe there are higher points of Christian attainment to be reached in the future ages of tho Christian world. You tell me that Paul went up to the tiptop of the Alps of Cbrlstaln attainment. Then I tell you that the stork and crane have found above the Alps plenty of room for free flying. We go out and we epnquer our temptations by the grace of God and lie down. On the morrow these temptations rally themselves and attack us, and by the grace of God we defeat them again: but staying all the time in the old encampment we have the same old battles to fight over. Why-not whip out our temptations, and then forward march, making one raid through the enemy’s country, stopping not until we break ranks after the last victory? Do, my brethren, let us have some novelty of combat at any rate by changing, by going on, by making advancement, trading off our stale prayers about sins we ought to have quit long ago, going on toward a higher state of Christian character. and routing out sins that we have never thought of yet The fact is, if the church of God, if we, as Individuals, made rapid advancement in Christian life, these stereotyped prayers we have been making for ten or fifteen years would be as inappropriate to us as the shoes, and the hats, and the coats we wore ten or fifteen years ago. Oh, for a higher flight in the Christian life—the stork and the crane in their migration teaching us tho lesson! Dear Lord, and shall we ever live. At this joor dying rate— Our love bo faint, bo cold to Thee, And Thine to us bo great ? Again, I remark that the birds of the air are wiser than we, because they know when to start. If you should go out now and shout, “Stop, storks and cranes; don’t be in a hurry!” they would say: “No, we cannot stop; last night we heard the roaring in the woods bidding us away, and the shrill flute of the north wind has sounded the retreat We must go. We must go.” So they gather themselves into companies, and turning not aside from storm or mountain top or-shock of musketry, over land and sea, straight as an arrow to the mark, they go. And if you come out this morning with a sack of corn and throw it in the fields and try to get them to stop, they are so far up they would hardly see It They are on their way south. You could not stop them. • Oh, that we were as wise abont the best time to start for God and Heaven! We say; “Wait until it is ajittle later in the season of mercy. Wait until some of these green leaves of hope are all dried up and have been scattered. Wait until next year.” After awhile we start, and it is too late, and we perish in the wav when God’s wrath is kindled but a little. There are, you know, exceptional cases where birds have started too late, and in the morning you havefonnd them dead on the snow. And there are those who have perished half way between the world and Christ. They waited until the last sickness, when the mind was gone, or they were on tbe express train going at forty miles an tour, and they came to the brldgeand the “draw was up” and they went ®>wn. How long to repent and pray? Two seconds! Two seconds! To do the work of a lifetime and prepare for the vast eternity in two seconds! I was reading of an entertainment given in a king’s court, and there were musicians there with elaborate pieces of music. After awhile Mozart came and began to play, and he had a blank piece of paper before him, and the king familiarly looked over his shoulder and said: “What are you playing? I see no music before you.” And Mozart put his hand on his brow, as much as to say, “I am Improvising.” It was very well for him, but oh, my friends, we cannot extemporize heaven! If we do not get prepared in this world, we will never take part in the orchestral harmonies of tbe saved. Oh, that wo were as wise as the crane and the stork, flying away, flying away from the tempest! Some of you have felt tbe pinching frost of sin. You feel it to-day. You are not happy. I look into your faces, and I know you are not happv. There are voices within your soul that will not be silenced, telling you that you are sinners, and that without the pardon of God you are undone forever. What are you going to do, my friends, with the accumulated transgressions of this lifetime? Wil) you stand still and let the avalanche tumble over you? Oh, that you would go away into the warm heart of God’s mercyl The southern grove, redolent wito magnolia and cactus, never waited for Northern flocks as God has waited for you, saying: "I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I,swill give you rest.” Another frost is bidding you away—it is the frost of sorrow. Where do you live now? “Oh,” you say, “I have moved.” Why did you move? You say, “I don’t want as large a house now as formerly." “Why do you not want as large a house? You say, “My family is not so large.” Where have they gone? “To eternity.” Your mind goes baci through that last sickness, and through the almost supernatural effort to save life, and through those prayers that seemed unavailing, and through that kiss which received no response because the lips were lifeless, and I hear the bells tolling and I bear the hearts breaking—while I speak I hear them break. A heart! Another heart! Alone, alone, alone! ’ This world, which in your girlhood and boyhood was sunshine, is cold now, and oh, weary dove, you fly around this world as though you would like to stay, when the wind, and the frost, and the blackening clouds would bid you away into the heartot an all comforting God! Oh, I have noticed again and again wbat a botch this world makes of It when it tries to comfort a soul in trouble! It says, “Don’t cry!” How can we help crying when the heart’s treasures are scattered, and father is gone, and mother is gone, and companions are gone, and the child is gone, and everything seems gene? It is no comfort to tell a man not to cry. The world comes up and says, "Oh, It la duly the body of your loved one that you have put in the ground!" But there Is no uomfort in that. That body is precious. Shall we never nut our hand

1n that hand again, and shall wo nover [ see that sweat face again? Away with your hoartlessness, oh, world! But come, Jesus, and tell us that when tbe tears fall into God’s bottle, that the dear bodies of our loved ones shall rise radiant In the resurrection.and all tho breakings down hero shall be llft< <l up there, and “They shall hunger no more,neither thirst no more, neither shall tbe sun light pn them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which’s In the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes. You may have noticed that when the chaffinch, or the stork, or the crane starts on its migration it calls all those of Its kind to come too. The tree tops are full of chirp and whistle and carol and tbe long roll call. Tbe bird does not start off alone. It gathers a'l of its kind. Oh, that you might be as wise in this migration to Heaven, and that you might gather all your families and your friends with you! I would that Hannah might take Samuel by tbe hand, and Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar might take Ishmael Start for Heaven yourself and take your children with you. Come thou and all thy house into the ark. Tell your little ones that there are realms of balm and sweetness for all those wholly in tho right direction. Swifter than eagle's stroKe put out for Heaven. Like the crane or tbe stork, stop not night nor day until you find the right place for stopping. To-day the Saviour calls,. Ye wanderers come. Oh ye benighted souls. Why longer roam? Tbe Spirit calle to-day. Yield to His power. Oh. grieve Him not away, 'Tie mercy’s hour I Memory Under Excitement, Excitement frequently produces curious effects upon the memory. Thus a corn-ship, during a heavy gale, hoisted a signal of distress, and the officers and crew -with much difficulty were rescued by a craft which came to their relief. In a lawsuit to recover the insurance, all who bad been on board testified that the vessel was breaking up when they abandoned her, and that they observed the corn being washed out between the disjointed planks. After a verdict against the insurance company, the vessel was boarded and brought into port with both vessel and cargo in a perfectly sound condition. Undoubtedly the testimony had been honestly given. In Boston, while the Chiokering piano establishment on Washington street was being destroyed by fire some years ago, a lady who was boarding in the Adams House, opposite, with her three children, became greatly alarmed. She clung frantically to her offspring and wrung her hands in agony for the safety of the fourth. Her fellowboarders, having never observed but the three, inquired whether the missing one was a boy or girl. With very great embarrassment she acknowledged that she could not tell. So also excitement prevents some people from calling to mind things that appertain to their daily routine of duty. Thus, when a certain cotton-mill in Massachusetts was on fire, the mon who had had charge of the fire apparatus for fifteen years, and had continuously inspected and operated the appliances, was so greatly excited by the responsibility of his position that he could not call to mind where the hydrants and valves were located. A young sportsman, who had chased only small game, went on a deer hunt. He was so astonished and excited to have a fine buck bounce by him at easy range that he pointed his well-loaded rifle toward the deer and cried out “Bang!” like a child. No more amusing stories are told than where the memory in relating them fails in giving the point One of the last of these is one of the best, A man in a street-car was pitched headforemost into a lady’s lap, and, being called a “perfect Indian,” admitted that he was a paw-knee or. a lap-lander. The relator in describing it as the best pun he had ever heard, declared that he acknowledged that he was a Cherokee. Atrocities by British Officers. The following story, told by the Syd’ ney Mail, of Sydney, Australia, is a horrible illustration of the inhuman barbarism that may still be found in certain quarters of the globe. A yoUng British police officer was out with a detachment of “colored boys” hunting for; some of the Mayall tribe of blacks who had been suspected of steaLng a quantity of flour. “They came upon a camp of Mayans,” says the account, “surprised, surrounded them, and forced them to be hospitable. They ate their kangaroo, drank their water, and made them corroboree. After all was ended, that the blacks might not get away in the night, and steal more sheep, the officer said to his ‘boys,’ ‘just you pull your revolvers and shoot them.’ The ‘boys’ did nbt like to at first, but the officer was peremptory and was obeyed. When the Mayalls were killed there were three old women wailing, who did not seem worth killing. ‘Kill them, too,’ said the officer, and they were killed. Three young gins (wives) were not killed; one of them was handcuffed about the ankles and tied to a sapling. The ‘bovs’ rode on in the morning, leaving the offices and the young gin thus secured. Presently a stranger came along (and it was he who tells the story), and the two ate and drank together. When it became time to move it was remembered that ths young gin was tied up. ‘We must Rose her first,’ said the chief, and felt for the keys. He had no keys; the ‘boys’ taken them away. What was to be dote ? ‘I cannot lose my handcuffs,’ he said, and before there was time for remonstrance he had drawn a pistol and shot the gin through the brain, and then hacked off her feet at the ankles, and so saved his irons.” A Spiritualistic Trick. Sone tine ago at a spiritvalistic seance—the genuine article—a fiery hand was seen overhead in the darkness, rushing from end to end of the room with incredible now high, now low, and occasionally smiting people on the cheek with the cold, olamny contact of a corpse. In spite of the medium’s stringent injunctions that no one should move, a gentleman clutched the awful apparition as it swept past him, and, regardless of protestations and threats, refused to let it go until the lights were turned up. The messenger from the other world proved io be nothing ’more supernatural than a dirty white kid glove, rubbed with E’** iphorus and stuffed with wet tow; at the end ofa thin line, was suspended from a fithing-rod which could be reduced teivsoopically to a length convenient for the pocket Thus the medium could cause all manner of appalling "manifestations” without rising from his chair.— Chambers' Journal, Truk glory takes root, snd even spreads: all false pretenses, like flowers, the ground; nor can any counterfeit last loug.— Cicero. -

A School on the Pacific Slope. ' Tho school was in a rough boarded room which had been originally built for a store. The hats, bonnets, books and slates were piled on the shelves, and the thirty children sat on high benches, their feet swinging clear of the floor. There was not a robust or healthy-faced child in the room, and their thin, pale cheeks were a sod commentary on the condition of their lives. Later in the day, as I walked from home to home, and saw everywhere alow-trickling streams of filthy water, blue, iridescent and foul-ordored, 1 wondered not that the children were pale, but that they were alive. The history class was reciting a memorized list of "epochs” yrhen I went in. They had them at their tongues’ ends. I suggested to the teacher to ask them what the Afford “epoch” meant. Blank dismay spread over their faces. One girl alone made answer. She was an Indian, or perhaps half-breed, 14 years of age; the healthiest child and best scholar in the school, the teacher said. “The time between,” was her prompt definition of the word epoch, given with a twinkle in her eye of evident amusement that the rest did not know what it meant. The first class in reading then read from the Fourth Independent Beader, in stentorian voices, Trowbridge’s poem of “The Wonderful Sack.” The effect of slight changes of a single letter here and there was most ludicrously illustrated by one sturdy little chap’s delivery of the lines: His limbs were strong. His beard was long. With loud and enthusiastic emphasis he read them: His lambs were strong. His bread was long. Not a member of the class changed countenance or gave any sign of disagreeing with his interpretation of the text; and the teacher, being engaged in herculean efforts to keep the poor little primary bench still, failed to hear the Hues.—“H. H.” in Atlantic Monthly. A Waspish Sting. What gome wag terms "the business end of a wasp" stings with scarcely more acuteness than the acid eructations of gas from the stomach to the gullet that are characterized as heartburn. Never was there a case of indigestion without this symptom. Both cause and effect are removable by the fine carminative tonic. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which confers regularity and vigor upon a disordered and enfeebled stomach with certainty and dispatch. Besides checking the pranks of a rebellions stomach, the Bitters wakes up a dormant liver, and causes the bowels to act like clockwork. An immense reputation has also been won by this professionally approved medicine as a means of eradicating and preventing malarial trouble, and counteracting a tendency to rlmnniatism and kidney complaints. Neuralgia and nervousness are also remedied by it. Increasing the Potato Yield. A remarkable series of experiments made by a French scientific agriculturist in the cultivation of potatoes has given astonishing results. In one instance he obtained a yield of no less than 42 tons of tubers per acre. He selected the best and soundest potatoes, plowed the land very deeply and manured it heavily. He also steeped the the potatoes for twentyfour hours in a solution made bydissolving six pounds of saltpetre and six pounds of sulphate of ammonia in twenty-five gallons of water; then he allowed them to drain and stand for, twenty-four hours for tbeir buds to swell before planting them.

“German Syrup” lam a farmer at Edom, Texas. T have used German Syrup for six years successfully for Sore Throat, Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of Blood.
