He was so brilliant in attire that his enemies could not iook at hiin. They shut their eyes or they turned their beau away. Main on the evening of his marriage iy his bride Ildico who had been hired for the assignation, his followers mourned him not with tears but with blood, cutting themselves with knives and lancets. He was jut in three rcthnp, one of iron, another of silver and another of gold. He was buried at midnight and into his grave was joured valuable coins and precious stones amounting to the wealth of a kingdom. Thus the grave-diggers and all who assisted at the burial were horribly put to death .so that the story might never be told of where the wealth was entombed. Ah, he rightly called himself the scourge, but not the scoursr of (.Jod. He was the scourge of hell. IVcanse of his brilliancy and his bitterness the eominentators w'ere right when they called him the star AVormwood of the tt xt. And as he worked his greatest devastations in regions where there were fountains ami streams and rivers, you will observe the potency of the text when it siys: "A invat strtr fell from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the Jthird part of the rivers and upon the fountains of water; and the name of this star is called Wormwood." Have you ever thought how many embitM. 1 1 .1 Terc'i nves mere are all about us? - emo'.tt'.TO-l that thev are misanthropic, inorMd, .?erid, saturnine.

Hail, morning; star. Hu'ne on with your words of encouragen.entlind cheer. Some of you are evening stars, and you are shining upon the la-t hours of old age, making the evening of life beautiful, 'i hough sometimes the stir may have a eh'ud n it arising from the. pierul"usness or m reasonableness of an aged Lit hi r r mother, soon the cioud is gone and you are shining on, ami you ru e descried from all the balconies of "the neighhorhotn!.

There has not been since the world stood a case where a child ought to have been struck on the brain, bnt w hat is the influence in your household ? .Arc you the star of peace, the Star of bethleheni, or are you the star Worm wood ? 1 lowis it in your community ? What is your influence in your city, your village, jour neighlorhood ? Perhaps you are a star of w it. Does the star shed a baleful influence or a good influence ? Do you use that splendid faculty to irradiate the world or to ranklo it? I hail the apostolic college, of huefhiists. Any man who, makes me laugh at the ridtt time and in the right place, is my benefactor.' I lo not ask any man to make me cry. I ran tlo that without any a.-sistar.ce. W"e all cry enough and have cpouglt to cry about, (iod bless the skillful punster and repartecists and those who propound ingenious conundrums and mirthfully surprise us with unusual juxtaposition of words.' Charles Lamb and Thomas Hood and Sidney Smith had a divine mission as have their Mieeessois in our time. The humorists tir saechrine into the acid eup of this life. The cup of earthly existence sometimes becoming stale, they make it eilervesce and bubble. They placate animosities'. They foster longevity. They slay follies w'hichallthe pulpits of the land can not reach. Is your wit, is your humor lM'smirched yith"profanity and unclean ties? Do you make fun of the physical defects for which the victim is not resjonsible? Do vou employ your powers of mimicry to hring religion into contempt? Is it mirth at the misfortune or defeat of anyone? Then vou are the star Wormwood. Vour fnn is like that of a rattlesnake trying how well it ran sting. Your fun is that of a hawk trving how quick it can strike at the eye of'adove. but do vou grind the face of the poor? Do you keep back wages when vou might pay them because the employe cannot help himself? When one of your operatives comes to you and says: II have had great sickness in my household the past year and much expenses-ill vou raise mv wages for this vear?" and he

speaks to you politely, do you answ er hirti in a run;:n way, hetter place, g saving: U you want a L't "it?" Do" you act as though lie we re nothing and vou were everything? Are you proud and arrogant and overbearing? "Then you are the star Wormwood, and you have fallen upon one-third- aye, ' two-thirds . of all the waters that roll by your employes and your dependents and your associates, and the long line of carriages at your funeral, ordered by the undertaker in order to make your departure respectah'e, will have in them twice as many dry and tearless eyes as there are people in the carriages. The clumsy palhbeareis may make the gates of your sepulchre q'iake by running the silvcrdiandied ca.s-k.-t again-t them; but there will be no j.;r in the world because of vour departure. Theft' is a mistaken notion abroad, and that is that there arc but few, verv few geniuses in the world. There are million of them, by which 1 naan people who have especial adaptation and quickness tor some one thing. It may be gnat.it may he .small. That one thing may I e like the circumference of the arth, or it may be like the circumference of a thimble; but there is someting, Oh, man, Oh,- woman, that you can do better than any other man or woman in the universe. In that one thing you are a star. What is its inJiuence? Vou will k in this world only a few minutes. The longest life as compared w ith ett rnity is only a minute. AY hat are we doing w'ith that minute? All around us embittered lives embittered bv persecution, embittered by hypercriticism, embittered by pain, embittered hy poverty, embittered by injustice, embittered by sin. What are w e doing to sw eeten the lives of thvse people? Are we embittering still more the domestic, or the social, or the political fountains, or are w e imitating Moses, who, when he found that the I-ake Mara was very bitter and the Israelites could not drink of it, cut off a branch from a certain tree and threw it into the water, ami the water liecame so sweet that tjie sutFering host had their thirst slaked? Are we embittering the lives of others, or are we taking the branches of Ihe tree of life and throwing them into these embittered fountains? Are we exerting a good influence or a bad influence? There is only one real sweetening jower in the universe and that sweetening power is the religion of JesusChrist. Itswt-t tensthctlisposition, it sweetens the manners.it sweetens Providential mysteries, it sweetens aMIiction, it sweetens everything. Are we bringing that influence upon those over whom we have any intluence? Are we by smiles, by genial conversation, bv hearty'counsel, by prayer, by gospeli.ed Whavior, trying to make the world happy as well as better ? No one can answer the question except he answers it for himself. 1 have been in social circles where the question was asked alia n. im I : ' N o w , i t y o u h a 1 1 ! 1 ree w i s h es that you could have gratified, what would your three wishes Ik'?'' Some oik saidone thing and some another. If I ha 1 three wi.-hes that could be ne-t I will tell you what they would be.'. My first wish would be more of the grace of God 'Amen!" My second wish would be more of the irraee of God. My third wish -would be more of the grace of God. Jn the dooryard of my brother John, w ho is a missionary of Amoy, China, there is a tree that is called the buqnror tree, and it has these characteristics. It n I ways grows higher than that which is planted by it, ami its haves spread forth in the shape of a crown. If this J'niperor tree le planted by a rosebush it grows a little higher than the bush ami spreads over it a crown, and if planted by a tall tree it rises higher than that and puts over that a crown. Oh, Ibis religion of Jesus Christ is a mightier enqeror tree than that. If your ambitions are low Iv, if you afe making no great pretensions in the world, if your circumstances are humble, it will put a crow n over your life. If your are mighty, if you have great equipments, if you are like a cedar of Ix-banon for power, it will put a crown over vour life." Oh that the eternal (iod would "help us to put more of the fsaecharine in our life and less of the wormwood, for let us rememler that if we are wormwood to other we are wormwood to ourselves. A Common Sntf Hook. (The Independent. 1 The bible does not ileal exclusively with subjects in regard to which we would otherwise le wholly ignorant. It has much to say about matters pertaining to this life, the circumstances, conditions, and duties thereof, as well as those pertaining to the life to come. No one ever carefully read the bible without perceiving that, in resjM-ct to this world, it is the niost common-sense book ever written. Its great wisdom and correctness an; apparent upon its face. Its morality bears the stamp of heaven. If one wants to know how to lead a happy and useful life for this world, the bible is the best book lie can consult on this point. , Scntiatloitaliftiii in the I'ulpit. Oraah Rcpnhlican. Did it ever occur to critics that John the baptist was something of a sensationalist? He had a way of going for vice and calling tilings by their proper names whieh stirred up all the criminal population of Jerusalem against him. but it will hardly be claimed that John the baptist w as a failure as an evangelist. Instead of less.it is a pity there was not more sensationalism in the pulpit provided it had its origin in prop-T motive!. Sensationalism in only another name for energy. True religion is the fcort that fctifii up bin; uot the fcoit

that glosses it over or refuses to see it. If a minister knows where there is vice it is his dutv to point it out and condemn failtire to punish it. Neither Christianity nor the law should - tolerate wrong. Avhen either does it becomes particeps criminis. The rrsiliit nitUollgion. The Examiner bap. Mr. Cleveland says there can 1x.' no objection to giving instructions in morals and religion to these wards of the nation in their 'own language, if they cannot, tinderstand Iaiglish; indeed, such a course is necessary, and is to be encouraged, but it is not necessary, and not desirable, to spend the money of the government in teaching them their own language, as a matter of education, when the same time and etlort would be far better employed in acquiring a knowledge of Knghsh.

The Indian problem is so di'hYult I it solution at the best that it is heartily to be hoped that the friends of the Indian may act in harmony, and may support the government in so far as it appears that its el torts are wisely directed to the end of giving them true independence as a basis for true civilization. In the present instance the government seems to have acted with wisdom and discretion. Standii's by The l'astor. :Chriti.m Register. There are churches in every denomination that need to be built up. They were gatlM-red, perhaps, around the personality of some strong man, who has lu en transferred to some other field ; or changes in the growth of the city have reduced the attendance and the revenue. In such circumstances the church very naturally seeks for a popular minister, and in three cast s out of four it prooses to throw the whole' burden on his shoulders. If thereis anything that is surprising and discouraging, it is the coolness' with which some parishes will call a minister, and then stand by w ith arms folded to see him accomplish its deliverance. There are a fewsuch examples of miraculous energy. There are Samsons to-day as in days of yore, but there are not a great many of them in the pulpit. And not even an installed Samson could draw a stalled church out of the mire of lebt with an inert congregation sitting in the wagon when they ought lo be tugging at the wheels. l'astor :tut 1'rople.
