Tie Timea ii managed in its special inter esi by Mr. Jenes and bis son, who, how- . Ter.stldcm interfere with the chief of the editorial page (now Sir. Miller, vice Foord, b ceded,) as to the policy of the paper on ltjge and general questions. That is to say. ilr. Jones gives icEtruclicns on certain matters wrero he thinks it worth while to tAjfcterettd, and 3Ir. Miller. Mr. Carey, Sfa. Brooks, W. L. Alden and all other ecitorial writers free in all other directions. i At thf eame time, the sc-:alled managing editor, Mr. Heed, a man of mest&l alertntfij, manual expertners and strong prejudice?, i independent of the chief of the editorial page, and controls all the departments of the paper. Ilia headlines sometimes conflict with editorial utterances but this is seldom. The Tribune is edited by Mr. Reid in a pretty thorough sense. He gives out topics, suggests modes of treatment, reads the proofs, marki. what rauat go in and what may lie over, ' supervises and .directs all the departments, and ex erciatlv personal superintendence in minute matters, even to the adjustment of a semicolon. In methods of work he draws a severe mark and compels everybody to toe it. Nobody about the establishment has any real authoiity in Mr. Raid's absence, except Mr. Nicholson, who holds the position usually accorded a managing editor, but is called a private secretary. The paper is not f o good, I think, m it would be if the writers were thrown more upon their own resources, and were freer to express themselves, but it is probably nearer what Mr. Eeid desires to have it. The Herald management is peculiar. The uncaging editor, recently Mr. Thomas B. Conners, now Mr. Flynn.has general charge cf the news gathering of the paper, control the news gitteren, and directs the manner in which all Letts shall be published. He has the absolute expenditure of the great 4fur.d allotted to this. But here his power ends. He haa no more to say about the editorial page than has the pressman. The editorial pape is controlled neither by the managing editor, nor by Mr. Bennett, but by an editorial council, of which Mr. Bennett is merely one member. The editorial cCil meets every day about 2 or 3 o'clock, th senior writer, now Mr. Chamberlain, I infer, going around to the desks and ium- . moning'the members to the council room. It it composed cf all the editorial writers now eight, besides Mr. Bennett. Each brings a lis, of topics that ought to be treated, and these are discussed, as is also the view to be taken. Then they are allotted to the members supposed to be beet acquainted with them, respectively. There are about three times as many editorial writers on the Herald as are needed; the position is about a3 soit a one as I know of, except that of bearer of dispatches to Lurope. If Bennett be present at the council he takes part on the same terms as the others; if ho bo abeent, any diipatch from him is considered. lie has often told the counsel, "I do not wian my suggestion to have any more authority than one of your vcte me up or vote me down as seems best to jou." He holds, with Lincoln, that "everybody knows more than anybody," but he probably has no reason to complain, as Lincoln did, that he has "no influence with his own administration." It is impossible that his wish should be heeded as little as that of one of his employes. Still, he is often outvoted and his projects defeat d. He has the ambition that his father ha J to mske the Herald a measure of public feeling and public opinion. "When I am voted down in council,'' he is reported as saving, "I generally conclude that lam wrong, for one fellow isn't as likely to know what the public thinsis as eight fellows are." 1)Z LEUVILLI XT lOSCAR WILDE. .4 1 her fiom Paris about one of our last witter'" notabilities, the Marquis de Leuvilla, who had many rectal triumphs here. In the Fret ch paper, Le Soir, I find this: After a voyage of many months in traversing five continent, the unique and original Anglo-French poet, the Marquis de Ttyi, has returned to Paris. The author of Entre Nous has dene much work during his long and rometimes perilous voyages. HLknd tell us that a new book will ap.feu x atio moraine paper, .lt .nvenement. al ludes to him as the rival of Oecar Wilde, This is dreadfully mysterious. What enmity has developed between these two gentlemen? If they are merely engaged in the sweet encu'ation of rhymes and rhythms,the mebdious competition ot the muses, it is all very well; but I shudder to recall the ! variety of ilender words that used to hang over crimson tapestry on the walls of the marquis' parlors on Eighteenth street, and t remember the nine daela he is said to have fought. Merciful heavens I Can it be that some rude words have been spoken, and that the noble scion of Ollivier do Lorn court intends to challenge to deadly combat the languid pulpit of Kuskin, the historian of the fleshy Charmid ee, the prototype of Bunthorne? It can n'ft, must not be permitted? Mr Iwell ought to interfere and prevent Mr WiUe from crossing the channel. Later. Horrors 1 I glance again at Le Soir and notice that Mr. Wilde is already in Paris! This looks like trouble. He is an expert swordsman, and I have seen a pictures painted by the marquis on a target, which he himself had drilled with twelve bullet-holes within a circle of two inches at a dUtance of sixty feet. Danger I Perhaps even as I write the two rash men have hied them impetuously away to the. Bois de Boulogne, or the forest of St. Cloud. I remember the first time they ever rut eves on ach other. It was at Mrs. Jenny June Croly's reception a year ago, and even then I observed that the marquis' dark-brown eyes flashed with a strange lustre, and Mr. Wilde seemed a little ofiih, as if a wild

pang of jealousy had shot through his heart.

Alas I That U should end like this! My conjectures, yoa say, are purely conjectural. An, yes, dui tnev are lounaea on a knowledge of the volcanic surg that smoulder beneath the sartorial scorea of Mr. Oscar Wilde. Perchance, at this very moment, in the leafy suburbs of the gay capital out i win not minx oi hi IMBIZZLXUINT IN THE GRAPHIC. The Graphic has been unfortunate in some of its most tru ted servants. It is only two or three yean ago that the cashier of the stamp department defaulted in the sum o $o 000 or so, and now it is suddenly aiacoverea, to . tne consternation of Mr, Goodsell, that the treasurer of the establish meat, Mr. Dunckby, is nearly $40,0CO short. The revelation has been kept out of the newspapers, though some scores of men have known it for more than a week, don't know where Dunckby h now. On Saturday I was told that he was in Ludlow stroet jail, but yesterdav it was said that he was simply under arrest, and that detectives were trying to find out what he did with the money. I asked for him at the desk yesterday, and was blandly told that he was "out of town for a week." Dunckby came in as treasurer some two or three years ago from Canada, I think. He seemed a staid, conservative young man, of good basin ess qualifications. His appearance would beget confidence anywhere. He was not loud about Sunday schools, but, on the otter hand, he drove no fast horses, smoked few cigars, drank not at all, did not gamble or speculate in Wall street, and had onlv one wife and lived with her. He wai phenomenally quiet and respectable. But he stole $10,000 in three years and put it into houses in Brooklyn, lithographic establishments, grocery stores, wild land, etc buyin? an interest in everything that offered and officiating as "silent partner.'' There is less sympathy feft for him than there would be it he had been the prey of some overmastering temptation. It is a queer case. And the trouble comes at a time when the Graphic bad just lost its great contract of stamp-printing for the Government and has been compelled to reduce its force more than two-thirds. It seems as if a daily illustrated paper ought to be supported somehow, and it has thousands of friends who hope it will pall through. THE USIOK COLLKOX BOW. Row" rhymes with now,"not witheo " and alludes to a quarrel not a boat race. Have you any L nion College boys out your way? It is in a heap of trouble. Family quarrels are notoriously odious and bitter. The Union squabble is no exception to the rule. The fight has raged for years, now. between the president, Il3v. E. JJ. Potter. and his faculty. The faculty, with two ex ceptions, Foster, senior professor, and Ashmore, recently appointed, reolved to make an effort to get rid of the president at the est commencement in June. Formal charges of incompetency and unworthiness were made against him.The Board of Trus tees held many and protracted sessions durng the summer, and a msi )ritv asked Dr. Potter to resign his office. At a subsequent meeting, when more of the president's friends were present and one of the opposition was absent in Europe, the vote was reconsidered and revoked. Dr. Tetter read a formal letter in which he re'used to resign. Matters went alone thus until a few weeks ago when one of the board, Mr. D. C. Kobinaon, a staunch opponent of Dr. fetter, had introduced and passed through both Houses of the legislature a bill "to relieve he State officers of certain trusts." ThLj was & little trick. It seoms that during the presidency of Dr. Eiiphilet Nott, the gracdiaiaer oi we present lncumDtm, a grand ottery was devised for the benefit of Union College, and, to excite public confidence in it, State OlScers were made ex-ofiicio mem bers of the Board of Trustees. They have seldom "taken a hand'' in the College government, and probably some of them were gnorant of the existence of the institution. Mr. Kotinson, with their concurrence, un dertook this winter to legislate them out of offic and provide that the vacancies be filled by the alumni associa tion next June. Amcng the allumni President Potter is in a minority of two to one. The bill was discovered on the Governor's table the other day just in time to rescue it from his signature and it was recalled by the Senate anil killed. What next? No body knows. Dynamite perhaps. The faculty and allumni assert that the Presi dent has tampered with the treasurer's books without authority ; that he is incompetent, both as an instructor and a disciplinarian; that he has wasted the income of the Co1ege in various ways. Rev. Dr. Backus and Judge Potter of Schenectady, who have been Trustees for a generation, are leading the opposition. What the next move will be is uncertain, but tbe President is arousing such animoesties on all hands that he will probably be pushed out at last. TUN FOR NEXT WINTER. It looks now as if next winter would be a star season in New Yo.k drama and opera. Booth win be home again; Irving, Miss Terry and a company ot fifty will sail from lxmaon to .New York on (Jcttobtr 11; Mapleson has engaged Patti, Gerster, and piobably, Luc:a; and Abby has contracted witn rsiueon and sembneh. one of the world's greatest Lucias. If the twj impressarios can be kept in a quarrel, New York ia sure ot a good time In opera. MaDleson has the Academy and tbe new Grand Opera House on Broadway at Fortieth street is to be finished by bept emier, and lighted with elec tricity. In style it is English renaissance, and it is so awkward in its present contour that I do not see bow any finish can make it dignified er impressive. It occupies one of the most eligible and adaptable sites in the city; it is a pity that it is to be, at least externally, plebeian. BERGH AND THE RED El FT. Bargh manages to keep busy some how. It is a cold day for him when he can not find a dog that requires a protector. Francis B. Cooke is in the business of supplying steam. ers with air mattresses, put together in small sections like pillows, and blown up separately. These may be used for rafts in case ef shipwreck, each one having a bouyancy of a Ion. Mr. Cooke advertises to take an excursion party of reporters ten miles out at sea in the evening, and then put overboard an air mattress, and a man, woman and dog, and teen steam back, leaving them in the dark to get ashore as thejr can. Mr. Bergh has come to the rescue of the dog, and insists that only the human beings shall be subjected to the implied peri II Mr. Cooke threatened to take a cat, or, if that is illegal, then a rat. He declares that the sufficiency of the raft shall be demonstrated somehow. I believe the excursion is now fixed for next Friday. The mattress is so constructed that if one section should collapse, the other six would still be unimpaired, as steamers are built in compartments. BITS OF TALK. The removal of the stone lion's head from the bridge approach, because 'it is British," and the substitution of an eagle's head is generally regarded as a contemptible bit of nunkeyism. it would have been better to substitute a buzzard's beak holding a sprig of shamrock, indicative at once of of the blunder of five millions in the work and of the power that now rules these cities. Mrs. Abby Saee Rishardson has left and settled permanei:tly in Colorado, where the

finds a pleasant home with her friend, Mrs,

ralmer, wire or General Palmer, the inven tor and president ofthat trinket of th mountains, the Danver and Ri Grando Railroad, where she will be abta to pursue ner literary work more effectually. She has done some excellent work here, and is a woman of great talent and cleverness. If there ever was a woman who deserved well of the world and received ill, it is she. I he summer-loan exhibition at the Metropohtan Museum of Ait is prettv gocd.but on tie wnoie pernaps somewhat less varied than usuaL I would give you some account of it, it descriptions of pictures were not necessary as meaningless as an attempt to aeecrne tne navor or a new dish or the odor of a new perfume. The case of M. Feuardent against Cea nola for libel is on the docket for to-morrow. and will be tried unless Ceenola manages to get anotner postponement. (Jesnola Is in tight spot just now. I have Sf en a letter from a German in Cv prüf, whom Censola fai ed to pay for assistance rendered in ''repairing" antiques, and who is now ready to give testimony, greatly to the damage of Cejnola's reputation. This will very likely De produced in court. The weil-g'eavel Salmi Morse is determined to nave a license tor his nail to pro duce a comedy entitled, "A liastle Among Petticoats." His motive is still high, for he says: 'I will not desecrate the ball with a ballet of the ordiuary kind. In the ballet all tbe girls shall wear long skirts." This it right, Ef t only for moral, but sas'hetic reasons. For, obviously, without the petticoats, there could be no room for the bustle alluded to. However, it is well to ask what sort of long skirts" the maidens of the Morse ballet are to wear? In the comic opera of La Fille do Madame An got, Mile. Lange wears a long skirt but kind M emery I avert thine eyes I a fig leaf would ba quite as serviceable. What is the pattern of tnese long dresses 7 that is the question. DRAMATIC AM) MUMCAL. Mies Hope Glenn has sailed for Ene.'and to fill summer-concert angagements. Mme. Christine Nilsson has written an article on public singing, which is published in the June number of the North American Review. Miss Adelaide Randall, formerly of the Hess Acme Opera Company, has an offer from Colonel Mapleson to sing during the coming season. Miss Emma Thursby closes her season with Maurice Strakosch June 1, after which she goes to California with the Theodore nomas Orchestra. Willie Edouin and his "Sparks" fill the San Francisco Opera House. New York.every evening to witness "A Bunch of Keys," the greatest success this comedian has ever achieved. Mr. John McCullough says he has over worked him sell this season, and his physician decides that a sea voyage has become mperative. His next season will open in September, and he will go only to the large cities. The Alice Oates Comic Opera Company opened a summer season in New Orleans, dt Tuesday evening, at the bpanish Fort. The repertoire includes "Mascot." "Olivette,' "The Princess of Trebizonde," and "The Chimes of Normandy." The company comprises twenty-five people. Mme. Minnie Hauk's concert tour throueh the Eastern States has been so eminentlv uccessful that she will prolong it until the beginning of June. She has consequently cancelled her engagements with the Albert Hall and Crystal Palace concerts in London. Her season is said to have so far netted about $30,000. Miss Rose Eytinge has written a letter in regard to the lack of funds for the pedestal of the B&rtholdi statue. She suggests that on the coming Fourth of July performances ne given lor tne benefit ot the pedestal fund in every theater in the city and State of New York, and that every American actor and actress take part in them. She also offers the services of herself and her company free of all expense. Miss Margaret Mather closed her season ast week with a net profit of $45 000. which is remarkable, considering her loss by sickness while in Bostor. Miss Mather has more than justified the expectations of her friends, and has more than defeated the pre dictiors of her enemies. Mr. Hill has our congratulations. Miss Me.tb.er intends to add Lady Macbeth to her repertoire nix t season, and will give much of her time this summer to a study of that character. The attendant of Charles Mathews, the e:ninnt English actor intended to give the patient some medicine, but a few moments after it was discovered that the medicine was nothing but ink, which had been taken from the pnial by mistake, and his friend exclaimed, "Good heaven I Mathews, I have given you ink." "Never never mind, my boy never mind," said Mathews faintly, "I'll swallow a piece of blottingpaper." Xhi8 was the last joke Mathews ever made. Mr. South eato, of the Long Beach Hotel. having leased Ten Thousand Islands. Hotel, at Alexandra Bay on the St. Lawrence Kiver, has arranged to inaugurate his man agement by a fete there. He has taken advantage of the return of Mr. Charles Wyndham and his company from California, to secure their services, and they will be seen at the Thousands Islands in the first dra matic performance ever given on the St. Lawrence River. Mr. Wyndham sails from Quebec in the Peruvian on July 14. The Emma Abbott Opera Company have concluded a season of thirty-five weeks giving 280 performances and producing twenty one different operas, and the season has been tne most profitable one Miss Abbott ever had. tine saus for Europe in two weeks, and while abrcad will complete arrangements for the production in this country, next season, of three operas that have never yet beet given here. She will also secure the services of several European artists for her next season's company. "Mrs. Lestor Wallack," says the Pittsburg Dispatch, ''is the sister of Miliais, the great English painter, and comes of an excellent family. Wallack ran off with her when he was a young man, and advertised himself largely by this brilliant stroke. He was then an ensign in the English army. and it was his army life which gave him the English lingo that he has always used with such unction since, lie was born in Varic street, New York, but his father sent him to England to school, whence he went into the army.

GOD'S TEAR BOTTLE

Shall Hold Transmuted Tears that Gleam, and Sparkle, and Flame. The Brightest CJfm of Earth the Brightest Jewel of Heaven and the Tear of a Sinner's Repent ance He Holds Them All. CTiangeU Into Pearls Set In the Oowni and Robes if the Ransomed Dr. Talmas;' Suada? Seimon. B rook lt x, N. Yn May IS. The fob owing sermon was delivered in the Brook yn Tabernacle this morning by Rev. T. DaWitt Talmaee. His Subject was Lachrymals: Tut: Put Thou lly Tears Into Thy BotMe," Psalms lvi., S. Within the past century traveleis and antiquarians have explored the ruin of many of the accient cities, and from the very heart of these burial splendors of other days have been brought up evidences of customs that long ago vanished from the world From among tombs of those ages have been brought up lachrymatories or lachrymals. which are vials made of earthenware. It was the custom of the ancients to catch the tears that they wept over their dead in a bottle and to place that bottle in the graves of the departed, and we have many specimens of the ancient lachr matories or tear bottles in our museums. The text intimates that God has an intimate acquaintance and perpetual remembrance of all our griefs and a vial or lachrymatory or bottle in which He c itch es and saves our tears, and I brin to you the condolence of this Christian centimtnt. But why talk ct human griefs when we have but to ook out and behold tbe largest prosperity great harvests in all the land; multitudes of men with no cares save how they may sately invest their largo accumulations; joy in tne city mansion and mountain cabin: oy among the lumbermen of Maine as they hove their raits into tne water: joy among the emigrants far out upon the vast prairies. Joy, joy! Why talk about grief r Alas, the world has its pangs, and now, while I speak, there are before me thick darkness of soul that need to bo lifted. I stand in he presence of some who are about to break under the assault of temptation, and, parchance, if no words appropriate to their case be uttered to day they perish forever. come upon no fool s errand. I put upon your wounds no salve compounded by human hands; but, pressing straight to the mark, I hail you as a vessel mid-sea cries to a passing craft, "Ship ahoy!" and invite you on board a vessel which has faith for a rudder and prayer for sails, and Christ for captain and Heaven for an eternal harbor. Uatherine Khemfeldt, a Prussian, keeps a boat with which she rescues the drowning. When a storm comes on the coast and other people go to their teds to rest she puts out in her beat or the relief cf the distressed, and hundreds of the drowning has she brought safely to the beach. In the life-beat of the Oespel I put out t -day, hoping, by God's help, to biing ashore AT LEAST ONE EOÜL that may now be sinking in the billows cf temptation and trouble. The tears that were once caught in the lachrymatories brought up from Herculaneum and Pompeii are all gone, and the bottle is as dry as the scoriae of the volcano that submerged them. Not so with the bottle in which God gathers ail our tears. First I remark that God keeps perpetually the tears of repentance. Many a man has awakened in the morning so wretched from the night's debauch that be has sobbed and wept. Pains in tbe head, aching in the eyes, sick at heart sad unfit to step into the light. He grieves not about his misdoing, but about its consequences. God mskes no record of such weeping. Of all the million tears that have gushed as the result of such misdemeanor, not one ever got into God's bottle. They dried on the fevered cheek, or were dashed down by the bloated hand or fell into the red wine cup as it came to the lips foaming with still worse intoxications. But when a man is sorry for his past and tries to do better; when he moans his wasted advantages, and bemoans Lis reection of God's mercy, cries amidst the lacerations of an aroused conscience for help out of his terrible predicament, then God listens; tbea Heaven bows down; thn scepters of pardon are extended from the throne; then his crying rends the heart of heavenly compassion; t'-en bis tears are caught in Gcd's bottle. You know the story of paradise and the peri. I think it might be put to higher adaptation. An angel starts frcm the throne of God to find what thing it can cn the earth worthy of being carried back to Heaven. It goes down through the gold and silver wings of earth, but finds nothiag worthy of tranportation to the celestial city. It goes down through the depths of the sea, where the pearls lie, and ünds nothing worthy of being taken back to Heaven. But coming to the loot of a mountain it sees a wanderer weeping over his evil warp. The tears of the prodigal start, but do not fall to the ground, for the angel's wing catches them, and with that treasure speeds back to Heaven. God sees the-an gel coming and says: 'liehold the brightest gem of earth and the brightest jewel of Heaven THE TEAR OF A SINNIR8 RXPXXTANCX ' Oh, when I see the heavenly Shepherd bringing a lamb frem the wilderness, when I hear the quick tread of the ragged prodigal hastening home to find his father, when I see a sailor boy coming on tho wharf and hurrjing away to beg his mother's pardon for long neglect and unindnes, when I see the houele.s coming to God for shelter and the wretched acd the vile and the sin-burn ed and the passion-bloated appealing for mercy to a compassionate God, then I exclaim In ecstacy and triumph, "More tears for God s bottle." Again, God keeps a tender remembrance of all your sicknesses. How many of you are thoroughly sound in body? Kot one out of tent I do not exaggerate. The vast majority of the race are constant subjects of ailments. There is some one form of disease that you are peculiarly subject to. You have a weak side or back or are subject to headaches or fain tn esses cr lungs easily distressed. It would not take a very strong plow to shiver the golden bowl of

life or break the pitcher

tne lountam. Many of you have kept on In lile through sheer . force of will. lou think no one can understand your dir tresses. Perhaps you look strong and it is supposed that you are a hypochondriac. They say you are nervous, as if thai were nothing I God have mercy upon any man cr woman that is nervous 1 At times you sit alone in your room. Friends do net come. You feel an indescribable loneliness in your sufferings; but God knows, God feels: God compassionates. He counts tbe sleepless night; He regards the acutenesa of the pain; lie estimates the hardness of the breathing. "While you pout out the medicine from the bottle and count the drops, Ood counts all your falling tears. As you look at tbe phials filled with nause ous draughts and at the bottles ol distaste ful tonic that stand on the shelf, remember teat there is a larger bottles than those, which is filled with no mixture by earthly apothecaries, but it is God's bottle, in which He bath gathered all our tears. Again, ucd remembers all sorrows ot poverty. There is much want that never comes to inspection. The deacons cf the church .never see it: tbe controllers of alms-houses neyer report it. It comes not to church, for it has no appropriate apparei. ii makes no appeal for help, dui rnooies ratner to sutler than ex pose its bitternis. Fathers who' fail to gam a livelihood, so that they and their children submit to constant privation; sewing women who can not ply the needle quick encugh to earn shelter and bread, out .whether reported or uncomwlainine. whether in seemingly comfortable parlor or in damp cellar or in hot garret, God s angles oi mercy are on the watch. This moment hose griefs are being collected. Down on the back streets, on all the alleys, amid u&niies saa log csDini, tne work eosssa Tears of want seething in summer's heat and freezing in winter's cold, they fall mot unheeded. They are jewels for heaven's casket. They are pledges of divine- sym pathy. They are tears tor God's bottle. Aeain. the Lord preserves the remem brance of all paternal anxieties. You see a man from the most infamous surroundings step out into the kingdom of God. He has Heard no sermon, lie has received no start ing providential warning:. What brought him to this new mind? THI I3THI SECRET. God looked over the bottle in which He gathers the tears of His people, and He saw a parental tear in that bottle which bad been for forty years unanswered. He said: 'Go to now, and let nae answer that tear," and forthwith the wancerer ia brought home to uod. Ob, this wora of training children for God I It is a tremendous work. Some people think it easy. They have never tried it. A child is placed in the arms of the young parent. It is a beautiful plaj thing. You look into the laughing eyes. You txamine tbe dimples in the feet. You wonder at its exquisite organbm. A beautiful plaything! But on some nightfall, as you sit rocking that little one, a voic seems to fall straight from the throne of God, saying: "That child is immortal. The stars shall die, tut that is an immortal; suns shall grow old with age and perish, but that ia an immortal 1" Now, I know that with many of you this is tbe chief anxiety. You earnestly wish your children w grow uprightly, but you find it hard work to make them do as you wish. You check their temper; you correct their waywardness; in the midnight your pillow is wet with weeping. You have wrestled with God in agony for the salvation of your children. You ask me if all that anxiety has been ineffectual. I answer, No. Gcd understands your heart. He understands how hard you have tried to make that daughter do right, though she is so very petulant and reckless, and what pains you have bestowed iu teaching that son to walk in the path of uprightness, though he has such strong proclivities for dissipation. I speak a cbeering word. God heard every counsel you ever offered him. God has known all the sleepless nights you have ever passed. God has seen every sinking of your distressed spirit. God remembers your prayers. He keeps eternal record cfyour anxieties, and in His lachrymatory not such as stood in ancient tomb, but in one that glows and glitters beside the Throne of God He holds all those exhausting tears. The gras may be rank upon your grave, and the letters upen your tombstone effaced by the elements before the divine response v ill come, but He who hath declared: "I WILL BK A t0D TO THEE and to thy seed after thee," will not forget. And some day in Heaven while you are ranging the fields of light, the gates of pearl will swing back and garlanded with glory that long wayward one will rush into your out-stretched arms of welcome and triumph. Tbe bills may depart and the earth may burn and the stars fall and time perish, but God will break his oath and trample upon His promise never, neverl Again God keeps a perpetual remembrance of all bereavements. These are the trials that throw the red hearts of men to be crushed in the wine press. Troubles at the store you leave at the store. Misrepresentation and abuse you may leave on the street where you found them. The lawsuit that would swallow your honest accumulations may be left in the court room, but bereavements are home troubles and there is no escape from them. You will see that vacant chair. Ycur eye will catch at the suggestive picture. You can not fly the presence of such ills. You go to Switzerland to get clear of them, but more surefooted than the mule that takes you tp the Alps your troubles climb to the tip-top and fii sniveling on the glaciers. You may cross the seas, but they can outsail the clipper or merchantman. Ycu make take caravan and put out across tho Arabian desert, but they follow you like a simoon armed with suffocation. Yo. plunge into the Mammoth Cave, but they hang like etalactities from the roof of the great cavern. They stand behind ith skeleton fingers to push you ahead. They stand before you to throw you back. They run upon you like reckless hers t men. They charge upon you with gleaming spear. They seem to come haphazard, scattering shots from the gun of a careless sportsman. But not so. It is good aim that sends them just right, tor God is the archer. This coming summer many of you will especially feel your grief as you go to places where once you were accompanied by those who are gone now.

wuk river aeptna 01 ueaven are these gems gathered?" And a thousand 7oices reply: "These are transmuted tears from God's bottle.' I see sceptres of light stretching down from the throne of those who on earth were trod on of men;, and in every scepter point, and inlaid in every star of golden throne, I behold an indescribable richness and lustre, and cry: "From whence this streaming light, these flashing pearls?" Ana tne voices oi the eiders before the throne, and of the martyrs under the alter, and of the 1-fct.GOO radiant on a glassy sea, exclaim: "Transmuted tears from Gods bottle!" Let the ages of Heaven roll on : the storv of earth's pomp and pride long ago ended: the Koh-i-noor diamonds that made kings proud, the precious stones that adorned the f ersian tiara and flamed in tbe robes of ßabj bnian processions forgotten: the Golconda mines charred in the last conflagra tion; but FIRM AT EVERLASTING HILLS, and pure as the light that streams from the throne, and bright as the river that flows from the eternal reck, shall gleam, shall sparkle, shall frame forever these trans muted tears of Gcd s bottle. Meanwhile, let the empty lachrymatory of Heaven stand forever. Let no hand touch it. Let no wing strike it. Let no collision crack it. JTUrer than beryl or chrysophrasusl Let it stand on the steps of Jehovah's throne and under the arch of the unfading rainbow. Passing down the corridors of the palace the redeemed of earth shall glance at it aad think of all the earthly troubles from which they were delivered, and say, each to 'each, "That is what we heard of on earth. There once were put our tears That is God's bottle!" And while standing there inspecting this richest inlaid vase of Heaven, the lowers of the palace dome strike up this silvery chime: "Lkd hath wiped away tears from all faces.'' Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Mr. . D. Lenier, Logansport, says: ' For purifving and enriching the blood, Brown's Iron Jsitters is nnequaled." The ucconeciuus influences of home thoee- which come from little thing, little speeches, little deeds, and little offices, that best portion of a good man's life, his little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love, are more subtle and pervading and plastic over the character than the teachings which we set ourselves formally to make. For it is not merely from what we do, but how we say it and how we do it, and in what spirit and temper, that the life of our life comes out and shows its quality The lead in e topic of discussion at present in .Episcopal circles is the threatened tria of the Itv. R. Heber Newton for heresy. Feeling runs prettv high upon both sides, and while no formal action has been taken by the heads of the Church, Mr. Newto? friends are massing tkfcir forces in view possible contingencies. If it were xossible to get the testimony of the multitude who have used Hood's Saksaparilla for debility, languor, lassitude, and that general feeling of stupidity, weariness and exhaustion winch every one feels during this season, we should be able to present to our readers such an overwhelming mass of commendatory messages, that the few who have not tried it would do so at once. It is a positive fact, and has been so effectually demon strated that no one to-day denies it, that Hood's Sarsaparilla contains more real med. cinal value than any article before the people.
