A Supersedeas Never Granted Beyond the Grave,

Man Determines His Own Destiny—Consequences of Sin—Dr. Talmagu'g Sermon.

The Rev. Dr. Talmaffe, who is now on his round-the-world journey, selected as the subject for his sermon through the pre^s, last Sunday, "Another Chance," the text being taken from Ecclesiastes xi, 3: "If the tree fall toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth there it shall be."

There is a hovering hope in the minds of a vast multitude that, there will be an opportunity in the next world to correct the mistakes of this that if we do make complete shipwreck of our earthly life it will be on a shore, up which we may walk to a palace that, as a defendant may lose his case in the Circuit Court and carry it up to the Supreme Court or Court of Chancery and get a reversal of judgment in his behalf, all the costs being thrown over on the other party, so if we fail in the earthly trial we may in the higher jurisdiction of eternity have the judgment of the lower court set aside, all the costs remitted, and we may be victorious defendants forever. My object in this sermon is to show that common sense as well as my text declares that such an expectation is chimerical. You say that the impenitent man, having got into the next world and seeing the disaster, will, as a result of that disaster turn, the pain the cause of his reformation. But you can find ten thousand instances in this world of men who have done wrong, and distress overtook them suddenly. Did the distress heal them? No. They went right on.

The man was flung of dissipations. "You must stop drinking." said the doctor,, "and quit the fast life .you are leading, or it will destroy you." The patient suffers paroxysm after paroxysm, but under skillful medical treatment he begins to sit up, bebegins to walk about the room, begins to go to business. And, lo, he goes back to the same grogshops for his morning dram,and his evening dram, and the drams between. Flat down again. Same doctor. Same physical anguish. Same medical warning. Now the illness is more protracted, the liver more stubborn, the stomach more irritable, and the digestive organs are more rebellious. But after awhile h?

:s

out again, goes back to

the same dramshops and goes the same round of sacrilege against his physical health.

He sees that his downward course is ruining his household that his life is a perpetual perjury against his marriage vow that that broken hearted woman is so unlike the roseate young wife whom he married that her old schoolmates do not recognize her: that his sons are to be taunted for a lifetime by the father's drunkenness that the daughters are to pass life under the scarification of a disreputable ancestor. ITe is drinking up their happiness their prospects for this life and perhaps for the life to come. Sometimes an appreciation of what he is doing comes upon him. His nervous system is all a-tingle. From crown of head to sole of foot he is one aching, rasping, crucifying, damning torture. Where is he? In hell or on earth. Does it reform him?

After awhile he has delirum tremens, with a whole jungle of hissing reptiles let out on his pillow, and his screams horrify the neighbors as he dashes out of his bed, crying, "Take these things off me!" As he sits, pale and convalescent, the doctor says: "Now, I

Want to have a plain

talk with you, my dear fellow. The next attack of this kind will be beyond all medical skill, and you will die." He gets better and goes forth into the same round again. This time medicine takes no effect. Consultation of physicians agree in saying there is no hope. Death ends £he scene. "But." says some one, "in the future slate evil surroundings will be withdrawn and elevated influences substituted, and hence expurgation and sublimination and glorification." But the righteous, all their sins forgiven, have passed on into a beatific state, and consequently the unsaved will be left alone. It cannot be expected that Dr. Dull', who exhausted himself in teaching Hindoos the way to heaven, and Dr. Abeel, who gave his life in the evangelization of China, and Adoniram Judson, who toiled for the redemption of Borneo, should be sent down to some celestial missionary society to educate those who wasted their earthly existence.

Poneropolis was a city where King Phillip of Thracia put ali the bad people of his kingdom. If any man had opened a primary school at Poneropolis I do not think the parents from other cities would have sent their children there. Instead of amendment in the other world, all the associations, now that the good are involved, will be degenerating and down. You would not want to send a man to a cholera or yellow fever hospital for his health, and the great lazaretto of the next world, containing the diseased and plague struck, will be a poor place for moral recovery.

Furthermore, it would not be safe for this world if men had another chance in the next. If it had been announced that, however wickedly a man might act in this world, he couid fix it up all right in the n6xt, society would be terribly demoralized

and the human race demolished in a few years. The fear that if we are bad and unforgiven here it.will not be well for us in the next existence is the chief influence that keeps civilization from rushing back to semibarbaraism, and semi-barbaraism from rushing into midnight savagery, and midnight savagery from extinction, for it is the astringent impression of all nations—Christian and heathen—that there is no future chance for those who have wasted this.

Suppose you were a party in an important case at law, and you knew from consultation with judges and attorneys that it would be tried twice, and the first trial would be of little importance, but that the second would decide everything. For which trial would you make the most preparation, for which retain the ablest attorneys, for which be anxious about" the attendance of witnesses? You would put all the stress upon the second trial, all the anxiety, ail the expenditure, saying, "The first is nothing the last is everything."

Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if you have refused innumerable chances in this? Suppose you give a banquet, and you invite a vast number of friends, but one man declines to come or treats your invitation with indifference. You in the course of twenty years give twenty banquets, and the same man is invited to them all and treats them all in the same obnoxious way. After awhile you remove to another house, larger and better, and you again invite .your friends, but send no invitation to the man who declined or neglected the other invitations. Are vou to blame? Has he a right to expect to be invited aiter all the indignities he has done you?

And if after the gospel ship has lain at anchor before our eyes for years and years, and all the benign voices of earth and heaven have urged us to get on board, as she might sail away at any moment, and after awhile she sails without us, is it common sense to expect her to come back? You might as well go out on the highlands at Navesink and call to the Majestic after she has been three days out and expect her to return as to call back an opportun'ty for heaven when it has sped away.

You see that this idea lifts this world up from an unimportant way station to a platform of stupendous issues and makes all eternity whirl around this hour. But one trial for which all the preparation must be made in this world or never made at all. That piles up all the emphasis and all the climaxes and all the destinies into life here. No other chance! Oh, how that augments the value and the importance *of this chance!

Alexander, with his army, used to surround a city, and then would lift a great light in token to the people that if they surrendered before that light wentout all would be well. But if once the light went out then the battering rams would swing against the wall, and demolition and disaster would follow. Well, all we need do for our present and everlasting safety is to make surrender to Christ, the king and conquerorsurrender of our hearts, surrender of our lives, surrender of everything. And He keeps a great light burning, light of gospel invitation, light kindled with the wood of the cross and flaming up against the dark night of our sin and sorrow. Surrender while that great light continues to burn, for after it goes out there will be no other opportunity of making peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Talk of another chance! Why, this is a supernal chance!

I am in the burnished judgment hall of the last day. A great white throne is lifted, but the Judge has not yet taken it. While we are waiting for His arrival I hear immortal spirits in conversation. "What are you waiting here for?," says a soul that went up from Madagascar to a soul that ascended from

7\merica.

The latter says: "I came

from America, where forty years ago I heard the gospel preached and Bible read, and from the prayer that I learned in infancy at my mother's knee until my last hour I had gospel advantage, but for some reason I did not make the Christian choice, and I am here waiting for the Judge to give me a new trial and another chance." "Strange," says the other. "I had but one gospel call in Madagascar, and I accepted it, and I do not need another chance." "Why are you here?" says one who on earth had'feeblest intellect to one who had great brain, and silvery tongue, and scepters of influence. The latter responds: "Oh, I knew more than my fellows. I mastered libraries and had learned titles from colleges,and my name was a synonym for eloquence and power. And yet I neglected my soul, and 1" am here waiting for anew trial." "Strange," says the one of the feeble earthly capacity. "I knew but little of worldly knowledge, but I Knew Christ and made Him my partner, and I have no need of another chance."

Now the ground trembles w.ith the approaching chariot. The great folding doors of the hall swing.open. "Stand back!" cry the celestials ushers. "Stand back, and let the Judge of quick and dead pass through!" He takes the throne, and, looking over the throngs of nations, He says: "Come to judgment, the last judgment. the only judgment!" By one Hash from the throne all the history of each flames forth to the vision of himself and all others. "Divide!" says the Judge to the assembly.

"Divide!" echo the walls. "Divide!" cry the guards angelic. And now the immortals separate, rushing this way and that, and after awhile there is a great aisle between them, and a great vacuum widening and widening, and the Judge, turning to the throng on -one side, says: "He that is righteous, let him be righteous still and he that is holy, let him be holy still," aud then turning toward the throng on the opposite side, he says: "He that is unjus'o, let him be unjust still, and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still," and then, lifting -one hand toward each group, He declares: "If the tree fall toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth there it shall be." And then I hear something jar with great sound. It is the closing of the book of judgment. The Judge ascends the stairs behind the throne. The hall of the last assize is cleared and shut. The high r^'irt of eterJ nity is adjourned fore er.

LIQUIFIED Alii.

The Reason Why Samples Cannot Bo Sent Around.

Westminster Gazette.

Professor Dewar recently delivered at the Royal Institution, to a deeply attentive audience, the first of a series of three lectures on "The Solid and Liquid States of Matter"—• a subject which he has made peculiarly his own. Quoting Bacon's expression that heat and coid were the two hands by which nature chiefly works, he remarked on the difficulty of recording the alteration of volume in the transition of a body from a liquid to a solid state, as the particles were about fourteen times more widely separated in a gaseous than in a solid condition but even then they were so close together that they had to be represented by a unit less that the 250,000th part of an inch. It is not surprising to learn that the Professor is often asked for samples of his liquid air to exhibit at country lectures, but as it requires not only enormous pressure, but a temperature of 150 degrees below the freezing point to keep it in its fluid state, liquid air is not easily carried about. Among the many beautiful experiments with which Dr. Dewar illustrated his lecture was one in which nitrous oxide, evaporated in a vacuum, parted so rapidly with its heat that the remaining liquid was immediately frozen. Carbonic acid gas was liquified under great pressure. At the next lecture the Professor will exhibit some of the latest results of his striking researches.

Crabs that llcap and Mow. Denver Republican.

One kind of crab has been found in great numbers on table-lands4,000 feet above the sea-level, and many miles away from any considerable body of water. This strange crab is a native of Hindostan, where, in one province, at least, and perhaps in others, the young grass swarms with them. They burrow in the ground. They can run with considerable swiftness, even when carrying in the long claws, which serve for both arms and hands, a bundle of grass or young rice stalks as big, and sometimes even bigger, than themselves.

Nature is very generous with all her children, giving to each one just the powers and faculties which it needs to enable it to provide for all its wants. So this humble inhabitant of the table-lands of India is provided with a capital mowing machine in the shape of a pair of remarkably sharp and strong pincers. To harvest his abundant crops, the comicallooking creature assumes a sort of sitting posture, so that be can use his pincers to advantage. He works very rapidly, using one pair of claws to cut and another to bind his sheaves at the same time. As soon as he has gathered all he can carry he scuttles off with it in a funny sidewise fashion, and with an air of solemn importance that is a very amusing contrast to his clumsy motion and queer shape.

But the human inhabitants of the district preferred by this queer little mower and reaper do not find him at all amusing. They say that one of these crabs will destroy a large amount of grass and rice in one year, which if allowed to reach perfection would keep a laboring man in health and strength during that time.

The Newsboys' Version.

GWSIIAM FOB SENATOR.

The Illinois Populists AYlll Support Ilim.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, Friday. pub-f lished the following: Secretary or State WalterQ. Gresham is said to boa candi-. date oi thi! Illinois Populists for United:,, States Senator to succeed Senator Cullom. ,,: This news reached Chicago the same day that Secretary Gresham arrived here.s The coincidence is striking, but what is§ still more striking is the fact that the* scheme in regard to Judge GretJiam comes from no less a Populist leader than H. E. Tauboneek, who is chairman of the National Executive Committee of the party. Chairman Taubeneck has become convinced that this year large numbers of Democrats will vote the Populist ticket. He has estimated that in Illinois this vote, will not fall short of (5().0 X), and may go bovond lOO.COO. Should it be near his estimates, he is ligurlng that from one to live or six members of the Legislature may bo clected in November. "These members," he says, "will hold the balance of power between the Repub-„ lican and Democratic parties in the Legislature. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can. elect a United States Senator, and Judge Gresham will bo entiroly satisfactory to the Populists, and. they cau and will try to elect liirn."
