out, and sick he needs stimulants, and he gives him a little of the wino that he broughtfrotn the Amalekites. Yonder is a man who has no np petite for the rough rations of the army, and he gives him a rare morsel from the Amalekitish banquet—and the two hundred crippled and maimed and aged soldiers who tarried on garrison duty get just as much of the spoils of battle as any of the two hundred men that went to the front. “As his is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff. * The impression is abroad that the Christian rewards are for those who do conspicuous service in distinguished olaces—great martyrs, great patriots, great preachers, great philanthropists. But mv text sets forth the idea that there is just us much reward for a man that stays at home and minds his own business, and who, crippled and unable to go forth and lead in great movements and in the high places of the earth, does his whole duty just where he is. Garrison duty is as important and as remunerative as services at the front “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.’’ The Earl of Kintore said to me in a railway train, “Mr. Talmatre, when you get back to America I want you to preach a sermon on the discharge of ordinary duties in ordinary places, and then send me a copy of it.’’ Afterward an English clergyman, coming to my country, brought from the Earl of Kintore the same message. Alas! that before I got ready to do what he asked mo to do, the good Earl of Kintore had departed this life. But that man felt sympathetic with those who had ordinary Unties to perform, in ordinary places and in ordinary ways. A great many people are discouraged when they hear the story of Moses, and of Joshua, and of David, and of Luther, and of John Knox, and of Deborah, and of Florence Nightingale. They say, “Oh, that was all good pnd right for them, but I shall never be called to receive the iaw on Mount Sinai, I shall never be called to command the sun and the moon to stand still. I shall never bo called to slay a giant, I shall never preach on Mars Hill, I shall never defy the Diet of Wurtns, 1 shall never bo called to make a queen tremble for her crimes, I snail never preside over a hospital.” There are women who say. “If I had as brilliant a sphere as those people had, I should be as brave and as grand; but my business is to get the children off to school, and to hunt up things when they arc lost, and to see that dinner is ready, and to keep account of the household expenses. and to hinder the children from being strangulated by the whooping cough, and to go through all the annoyances and vexations of housekeeping. Oh. my sphere is so infinitesimal and so insignificant 1 am clear discouraged.” Woman, Gcd places you on garrison duty, and your reward will be just as great as that of Florence Nightingale, who, moving so often, night by night, with a light in her hand through the hospitals, was called by the wounded the “lady of the lamp.” Your reward will be just as great as that of Mrs. llertzog, who built and endowed theological seminary buildings. Your reward will bo just as great as that of Hannah More, who by her excellent books won for her admirers Garrick, and Edmund Burke, and Joshua Reynolds. Rewards are not to bo according to the amount of noise you make in the world, nor even according to the amount of good you do, but according to whether you work to your full capacity, according to whether or not you do your full duty in the sphere where God has placed you.

HIGH ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FI DEI. ITT. Suppose you give to two of your children errands, and they are to go off to make purchases, and to one you give one dollar and to the other you givo twenty dollars. Do you reward the boy that you gave twenty dollars to for purchasing more with that amount of money than the other boy purchased with one dollar 7 Os course not. If God give wealth, or social position or eloquence, or twenty times the faculty to a man than Ho gives to the ordinary men, is lie going to give to the favored man a reward because he has more power aud more influence'/ Oh, no. In other words, if you and Ido our whole duty, and you have twenty times more talent than I have, you will get no more divine reward than I will. Is God going to reward you because Ho gave you more? That would not be fair; that would not be right. These 200 men of the text who fainted by the brook Besor did their whole duty: they watched tlio baggage, they took care of the stuff, and they got as much of the spoils of victory as the men who went to tho front. “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.” There is high encouragement in this for all who have great responsibility and little credit for what they do. You know tho names of the great commercial houses of these cities Do you know the confidential clerks—the men who have the ktv to the safe, tho names of the men who know tho combination lock? A distinguished merchant goes forth at the summer watering place and he Hashes past, and you say: “Who is that?” “On,” replies someone, “don’t yon know? that is the great importer, that is the great banker, that is the great manufacturer.” The confidential clerk has his week off. Nobody notices whether lie comes or goes. Nobody knows him, and after a while his week is done, and ho sits down again at his desk. But God will reward his fidelity just as much as He recognizes the work of the merchant philanthropist whose investments this unknown clerk so faithfully guarded. Business men know the names of the presidentsand prominent directors of the great railroads; but they lo not know the names of the engineers, the names of the switchmen, the names of the .taguien, the names of the brakemen. These men have awful responsibilities, and sometimes, through the recklessness of an engineer or the unfaithfulness of a switchman, it has brought to mind the faithfulness of nearly all the rest of thorn. Such men do not have recognition of their services. They have small wages and much complaint. I very often ride upon locomotives, and I very often ask the question, as we shoot around some curve, or under some ledge of rocks, “How much wages do you get?’ and I am always surprised to find how little for snch vast responsibility. Do you not suppose God is going to recognize that fidelity? The head of some railway company going up at death, to receive from God his destiny, was no better known in that hour than was known last night the brakeman who on tho railroad was jammed to death amid the car couplings. “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.” Once for thirty six hours we expected every moment to go to the bottom of the oceau. The waves struck through the skylights and rushed down into the hold of the ship and hissed against the boilers. It was an awful time, but by the blessing of God and the faithfulness of the men in charge we came out of tho cyclone and we arrived at home. Each one before leaving the ship thanked Captain Andrews. Ido not think there was a man or woman that went off that ship without thanking Captain Andrews, and when years after 1 heard of his death I was impelled to write a letter of condolence to his family in Liverpool. Everybody recognized the goodness, the courage, the kindness of Captain Andrews- but it occurs to me now that we never thanked the engineer. He stood away down in the darkness amid the hissing furnaces doing his whole duty. Nobody thanked the engineer, but- God recognized his heroism, and his continuance, and his fidelity, and there will be just as high reward for the engineer who worked out of sight, ns the ca ‘in who stood on the bridge of the ship in the midst of the howling tempest. “As his part Is that goeth down to tho battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff." A Christian woman was soen going along the edge of a wood every eventide, and the neighbors in the country did not understand how a mother with so many cares and anxieties should waste so much time as to be idly sauntering out evening by evening. It was found oat afterward that she went there to pray for her household. and whilo there one evening she wrote that beautiful hymn, famous in all ages for cheering Christian hearts: I love to steal a while away Prom every cumbering care. A*i tpend the hour* of lotting day In humble, grateiul prayer.” Shall there be no reward tor such unpretending yet everlasting service? Clear back in the country there is a boy who wants to go to college and get an education. They call him a book worm. Whenever they find him—in the barn or in tho house—he is reading a book. “What a pity it is,” they say, “that Ed cannot get an education.” His father, work as hard as ho will, can no more than support tho family by the product of the farm One night Ed has jetired to his room, and there is a family con-

ference about him. The sisters say, “Father, I wish you would send Ed to college: if you will we will work harder than we ever did, and we will make our oid dresses do." The mother says: “Yes, I will get along without any hired help, although I am not as strong as 1 used to be, I think I can get along without any hired help." Tho father says, “Well, I think by working nights I can get along without any assistance.” Sugar is banished from the table, butter is banished from the plate. That family is put down on rigid, yea, suffering economy that the hoy may go to college. Time passes on. Graduation day has come. Think not that I mention an imaginary case. God knows it happened. Commencement day has come, and the professors walk in on the stage in their long gowns. The interest of the occasion is passing on, and after awhile it comes to .-vclimax of interest as the valedictorian is to be introduced. Ed has studied so hard and worked so well that he has had the honor conferred upon him. There are rounds of applause, sometimes breaking into vociferation. It is a great day for Ed. But. away back in the galleries are his sisters, in plain hats and their faded shawls, and the old-fashioned father and mother —dear me. she has not had a new hat for six years: he has not had a new’ coat for six years—and they get up and look over on the platform, and they laugh, and they cry, and they sit down, and they look pule, and then they are very much flushed. Ed gets the garlands, and the oldfashioned group in the gallery have their full share of the triumph. They have made that scene possible, and in the day when God shall more fully reward self-sacrifices made for others, He will give grand and glorious recognition: “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.”

THE UNAPPRECIATED WILL RE REWARDED. There is high encouragement in this subject, also, for those who once wrought mightily for Christ and the church, but, through sickness, or collapse of fortune, or advanced years, cannot now go to the front. These two hundred men of the text wero veterans. Let that man bare his arm, and show how the muscles were torn. Let him pull aside the turban, and see the mark of a battle axe. Pull asido the coat, and see where the spear thrust him. Would it have been fair for those men—crippled, weak and old, by the brook Besor—to have no share in the spoils of triumph? Do you think my Lord is going to turn off His old soldiers because they are weak and worn? Are they going to get no part iu the spoils of victory? Just look at them! Do you think those crevices in the face are wrinkles? No; they are battle scars. They fought against sickness, they fought against trouble, they fought against sin, they fought for God, they fought for the church, they fought for the truth, they fought for heaven. When they had fflenty of money their names were always on tho subscription list. When there was any hard work to be done for God, they were ready to take the heaviest part of it When there came a great revival, they were ready to pray all night for the anxious and the sin struck. They were ready to do any work, endure any sacrifice, do the most unpopular thing that God demanded of them. But now they cannot go further. Now they have physical infirmities; now their heads trouble them. They are weak and faint by tho brook Besor. Are they to have no share in the triumph? Are they to get none of the treasures, none of the spoils of conquest? You must think that Christ has a very short memory if you think He has forgotten their services. Fret not, ye aged ones. Just tarry by tho stuff and wait for your share of the spoils. ' Yonder they aro coming. I hear the bleating of the fat lambs and see the jewels glint in the sun. It makes me laugh to think how you will bo surprised when they throw a chain of gold over your neck, and tell you to go in and dine with the king. I see you backing out because you feel unworthy. The shining ones come up on one side, and the shining ones come up on the other side, and they push you on, and they push you up, and they say, “Here is an old soldier of Jesus Christ.;" and the shining ones will rush out toward you and say, “Yes, that man saved my soul,” or they will rush out and say, “Oh, yes, she was with mein the last sickness.” And then the cry will go round the circle, “Come in, come in, come up, come up; wo saw you away down there, old, and sick, and decrepit, and discouraged because you could not go to the front, but ‘as his part is that goeth down to battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.’ ” There is high consolation also in this for aged ministers. I see some of them here today. They sit in pews in our churches. They used to stand in pulpits. Their hair is white with tho blossoms of the tree of life. Their names marked on tho roll of the General Assembly, or of the consociation “Emeritus.” They sometimes hear a text announced which brings to mind user mon they preached fifty years ago on that same subject. They preached more gospel on .>>4oo a year than some of their successors on $-4,000. Some Sunday the old minister is in a church, and near by in another pew there is a husband, and a wife, and a row of children. And after the benediction the lady comes up and says. “Doctor, you don’t know me, do you?" “Well,” he says, “your face is familiar, but I cannot call you by name.” “Why,” she says, “you baptized me, ami you married me, and yon buried my father, and mother, and sisters.” “Oh. yes,” he says, “my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be.” They are in all our churches—the heroes of 1820, the heroes of 181-12, the heroes of 1857. By the long grave trench that cut through half a’eenturv they hare stood sounding the resurrection. They have been in more Balaklavas and have taken more Sebastopols than you ever heard of. Sometimes they get a little fretful because they cannot bo at the front. They hear the sound of the battle, ar.d the old War horse champs his bit. But tho 00,000 ministers of religion, this day standing in the brunt of the fray, shall have no more reward than those retired veterans. “My Father, my Father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof.” “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff." Cheer up. men-and women of unappreciated services. You will get. your reward; if not. here, hereafter. When C harles Wesley comes ur> to judgment, and tho thousands of souls which were wafted into glory through his songs shall be enumerated, he will take his throne. Then John Wesley will come up to judjment, and after his name has been mentioned in connection with the salvation of millions of souls brought to God through the Methodism which he founded, he will take his throne. But between the two thrones of Charles Wesley and John Wesley there will he a throne higher than either. on which will sit Susannah Wesley, who, with maternal consecration in Epworth rectory, Lincolnshire. starred those two souls on their triumphant mission of sermon and song through all following ages. Oh, what a day that will be for many who have rocked Christian cradles with weary foot, ami who patched worn out garments and darned socks, ar.d out of a small income made the children comfortable for the winter! What a day that will be for those to whom the world gave the cold shoulder, and called them nobodies, and begrudged them the least recognition, and who, weary, and worn, and sick, fainted by the brook Besor! Oh, that will be a mighty day when the Son of David shall distribute among them the garlands, the crowns, the sceptres. the chariots, tlie thrones. And then it shall bo found out that all who on earth served God in inconspicuous spheres receive just as much reward as those who filled the earth with uproar of achievement. Then they shall understand the height, the depth, the length, tho breadth, the pillared and domed magnificence of my text. “As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by tho stuff.”

Wife-It*ter Killed. Nbw ohk.

Delaware County Fair. pecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Munoik, Aug. 15. —Tho Delaware County Fair Associuton closed a five days’ session today. The weather throughout the week has been all that could have been desired, and the attendance has been large. The show in every department was more than ordinarily good. The live stock department never was so well represented. This is largely duo to the increased interest brought about through tho organization of a stock breeders’ association in the county several months ago. In the races were some of tho best horses in the Statn, and. being hotly contested, they were of interest and highly exciting. As in every other way. the fair has been a financial success, and the association will bo able to unload tho remnant of the debt that has hung over it for some time.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, fever has developed here and is creating consideable excitement among stock men. Two weeks ago, Michael Bros., large cattle men near this

city, shipped sixty-one stock cattle here from Hutchinson, Kan. When they arrived they appeared to be in perfect health. On Friday last the cattle showed signs of being sick, and already fifteen are dead and twelve more are down with the disease. When it was learned they were sick fifteen were shipped to Indianapolis.

Wliy Bayard Wanted Kelley. Philadelphia Press. If Mr. Keiley should finally end in being appointed consul-general at Paris, he will have received an office just a peg or two above the grade for which he was originally intended. Said a prominent Democrat of this city yesterday, who is the frequent host of Roman Catholic churchmen of high degree; “Secretary Bayard apparently thought that the appointment of Mr. Keiley to somo office might induce the large number of irishmen who voted for Mr. Blaine to return to the Democratic fold. Prominent Irishmen and Catholies were asked respecting Mr. Keiley, and several of them recommended him, but always under the supposition that he was to he given a minor post. Among others was Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, primate of the Roman Catholic Church in this country, who wrote a note speaking of .Mr. Keiley’s qualities, But the Archbishop was as much surprised as the rest when Mr. Keiley was named for so high an office as that of minister to a leading court.” Shocking; Case of Murder and Suicide.

Transplanting in Spring and Fall. Gardeners’ Monthly. Owing to excessive drought hundreds of springplanted things have passed away. Shall this bo an argument for fall planting? Yes. and no. Yes, if we are willing to believe that fall is at least as good as spring; no, if we ever expect to get complete immunity from all loss in planting trees. It must be remembered that trees die after transplanting from lack of moisture. They dry out. Trees die in winter and in summer that have not been transplanted, just the same as if they had been, if the moisturo does not get into the branches as fast as it dries out. A transplanted tree has a worse chance in this respect than one not transplanted. First, because it has lost some of its roots; secondly, bo cause the earth docs not set as tightly against the roots as before; fox*, no matter how well a tree may be transplanted, some of the roots will not be in close contact with the earth, and then it may as well not have that much root, for the root must be in close contact with the earth before it can get any moisture from it. It is for this reason that very often a tree with “splendid" roots, and “well planted” will die before one that has poor roots; the very thick mass preventing the earth from getting close in around each one. A fall-planted tree has this great advantage, that the heavy fall rains have a tendency to carry the earth in and around the roots, while the low temperature following is unfavorable to any excessive evaporation from the branches. The only enemy to be feared is excessively cold and drying winds. In spring planting wo not only have the difficulty of packing the earth well in among the roots, but have the possibility of heat and drought immediately following. Aside from these theoretical reasonings, the experience of the last last few seasons has been very favorable to the success of fall planting. As early as it can be done in tho fall the better. Another lesson of the season relates to watering in a dry time; water will not supply the place of shortened roots or of soil ill-packed in. but it is some good to the roots that can reach the earth. But the chief trouble is that people seldom commence to water till the tree is in a dying condition, and when it is too late to boos any service. The intelligent gardener wafers before the plant needs it badly, and this is one of the gardener’s arts that a stupid fellow can never learn, and which, after all. can only be well taught by experience. And in watering it is rather an injury than a benefit to pour the water on the surface. This compacts tho earth, and it dries out sooner than if not watered. But if a basin be made about the tree, water poured in, and as soon as the water soaks away the soil filled in again lightly—not pressed in—such watering is a great benefit. Again, pruning is a great help to a tree suffering from drought after ti’ansplanting. If, with all the care in watering or otherwise, some branches do not push into growth freely, cut them back at once.

Pears should not be allowed to ripen fully upon the tree. As soon as they are fully matured, which will be known by the readiness with which the stem parts from the tree, even if still quite hard, they should be removed from the tree anrl forwarded to market, or, if they are to he used at home, should be laid away in a drawer to ripen. Pears thus ripened, excluded from the light, develop a much finer flavor thaa if allowed to ripen exposed to the light. The small streams which often flow through farms are almost invaluable sources of fertility if the mud which accumulates in them every year is cleaned out and spread upon the land. All the leaves, together with the fine mold of cultivated fields, find a lodgment in the beds of these streams. Several loads of manure as val* liable as that made in stables may thus bo secured every year. JSSL. Iwf ijwwjr Most perfect made Prepared by a physician with tpocial regard to health.
