YEARS THAT IAYE PASSED.

THE REV. DR.TALMA3E LOOKING BACK. De Recalls to Ills Congregation "What May II art) Been the Scene or Their Childhood Tie First Cload Over the Home. To a congregation which crowded the tabernacle to the corridors, the Rev. Dr. Talmago made this 1 announcement last Sunday morning: Some newspaper correspondents, referring to a recent termon in which I welcomed foreign nationalities to thi3 country, have said that I advocated, as a desirable thing, the inUrroarriage of the white and black races. I never said bo, I never thought so, and arnne who misinterprets that sermon is eitler a villain or a fool, perhaps both. An outburst of spplause followed this announcement, and the preacher went ahead with the service. II discoursed from the text: "Thcu shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee," Deuteronomy, viii, 2, saying these among other things: Young people spend too much time in looking forward. Old people ppend too much time in lookins lackward. PeoDle in midlife and standing at the apex look both ways. But remiaiscence is often very useful. The most d you, my friends, live in the future more than in the present. It is the money yoj expect to eain; it is the social position you expect to establish"; it is the victor? you expect to win, and I see no harm in that if it does not make you discontented with your present lot, or disqualify you for present duty. It would be a good thing for us to walk back through our lifetime and see the escapes we have had, and the divine mercy exercised in our behalf and the triuruphs we have gained. Then we will be more full of prayer, more full of gratitude and more full of courage, and to-day I am going to stir those reminiscences if God will help me. There is a chapel in Florence with a frisco by Guido, the great master, but for many years there wa3 a Ftucco two inches thick over that fresco. Then English and American artista went there and they removed the covering and retraced the fresco. I know your memories have ovtr them a thousand obliterations, and I propose this morning to remove the covering and retrace the old picture and bring out the scenes in their original vividness, and I am going to take ail tne advantages of your past life and bind them in one theaf, and then I am going to take all the adversities of your past life and bind them in another sheaf. It is a precious harvest and I must be careful how I swing the scythe. Among your advantages was an early home with its surroundings. Bad men, for the most part, dipped their heated passions from the boiling spring of an unhappy home. I am not surprised that Byron's heart was a concentration of iniquity when I read that his mother was abandoned and that she made snort of his physical infirmities and called him a lame brat. That man who has had an evil parentage has to fight every inrh of his way if he maintain his integrity and come to his home in heaven. Your early home, it may have been in the city, it may have been in the time when Canal-6t., New York, was far up town, and the place where this church stands was a country excursion. You will never forget the place, I warrant you. The old house may have been torn down or turned into stores and you never can get over the sacrilege, for there was more meaning in that small house, that old house, than in the grandest mansion or turreted cathedral. There was the evening stand around which the family sat, the mother sewing by the plain lamp light. There, were brothers and sisters on the floor or under the table, plotting mischief, at which the father, with firm voice, commanded a silence that lasted half a minute. Ah, those were gran4 old days, li you hurt your foot vour mother Lad to sooth and salve and heal it. If you were wronged in the ttreet then your father came out to protect you and take your part. Your heart had not vet been broken by bereavement, and no Iamb ever had a warmer sheep fold than your home in which your childhood needed. Perhaps it was in the country that you had your home. You stand today under the old tree where you clubbed down the fiuit before it was ripe because you could not wait any loncer. You hear now in imagination the brook rumbling along over the pebbles. You step into the furrow behind your father in his shirt sleeves, shouting to the lazy oxen. You go to "the fields to bring the cows home and vou find them standing, their heads wagging through the bats. Sometimes in the dusty and busy street you wish you were again on the cool grass of the old homestead or standing on the rag-carpeted hall of the old farm house throuch which swept the breath of new-mown hay or blossoming buckwheat. Your father, sunburned from the fields, who used to sit on the sill of the do r, and, with his hand, wipe the fiweat from his brow, may have gone to his eternal rest; your mother, who stood at the doorway," a little bent over, cap and spectacles on, her face wrinkled with the vicisitude3 of many years, may have put down her gray head upon the pillow in the valley; but forget that home you never will. Have you thanked God for it? Have 3-ou ever raised up these reminiscences with a grateful spirit? Thank God for a Christian father. Thank God for a Christian mother. Thank God for an early Christian home. But I must point you to another passage in your life's history. The time had come for you to set up your own household. You 6tood at the altar, hands joined, and one with a etrong voice said, 'I will," and the other with a pofter and sweeter voice said, "I wiiL" Time passed on. You sat at opposite ends of the table, laying out your plans for life. The most insignificant affair of your life came up for adjustment, for counsel and for advisement. You felt so happy you thought nothing on earth could ever make you haDpier. One day there was a cloud over the home. That cloud got darker and darker, but out of it descended a shining messenger of God to incarnate an immortal t-pirit. Two littles feet started on an everlasting journey, and you to lead them; a jewel" for an eternal crown, and you to polish it. Everlasting ages watching the launching of one newly created immortal. You rejoiced and trembled at the thought that such a treasure was put in your possession. You rejoiced and wept and sang, and again you rejoiced and wept and sang, and prayed God that you might lead that one into the kingdom of heaven, and there was a tremor of earnestness in your voice. After awhile, when some months had passed and your house resounded with the music of a child's laughter, you felt that you were charged with a stupendous mission. Have you kept the vow? Is that home as much to you as it used to be ? Have your anticipations all been realized? (rod help you in the solemn reminiscence and help you etil 1 more if your parental kindness lias been illy requited. God pity the parent amid whose wrinkles are written the itory of a child's ingratitude. God pity the mother who to" her other pangs has added the pane of a child's iniquity. There are many, many sad sounds in this sad world, but the saddest sound ever heard in this world is a mother's breaking heart. Ia there in all this assemblage one who Las been guilty of such matricide ? I

stir the reminiscence. But I must point you to another passage of your life's history. One day you found you were on the wrong roäd. You could not 6leep nights. There was just one word that sobbed through the banking house, through the fields, through the bedroom, through the factory, and that one word was, eternity. You said: "Oh, God, I am not ready for it; through the rich grace of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, prepare mo for the future." And God heard your prayer and peace came to your soul, and you entered the house of the Lord and you remember tust how your hand trembled as you took lold of the cup of holy communion. You remember the aged minister who consecrated it. You remember the church officials who carried it through the aisle. You remember how the older members of the church at the close of the service took your hand in their hands in congratulating, sympathy as much as to sav, "Welcome home, you long lost prodigal." Those hands have all withered away, but that scene comes up in resurrection to-dav. It is resurrected with all its songs and sermons and tears and transfiguration. Have you forgotten the vow? Are you a backslider? Kneel to-day at the foot of mercy. Start again for heaven as you started then. The door is open. Why not now now? But I must not dwell longer on the advantages of your early lifetime. Your life has not been smooth sailing all the way through, has it? Some of you are under the shadow now. Some of you had troubles years ago. There are people in this house hundreds of them who are mere wrecks of what they once were. I am going to take all vour sorrows, all the annoyances of your" lifetime, all the disasters and all the perplexities, and I am just going to put them in one sheaf. "Oh," savs some one, "you cannot do that." Why can't I? "Oh," you say. "I have had so many sorrows, so many misfortunes, so many disasters, so many bereavements and so many troubles you cannot do that." Well, then, if I cannot take them all, I will just take two your first sorrow and your la-t sorrow. As you are going along the street you hear music in the distance and find yourself keeping step to the music. So every step of your early life was like a musical time beat. Oh, how bright the world was to you. With what bright, clean two oars you made the boat ekio. It got brighter and brighter as you went on in the journy. until one day a voice commanded, "Halt!" You halted and you 6tood in front of your first 6orrow. You thought it was not an unhealthy flush on the child's cheek. You said it was nothing serious; but Death, with slippered feet, walked around the cradle and after awhile you were deeply anxious and you walked the floor. Oh, if with your stout arm you could have just wrenched that child from the destroyer's grasp. You went to your room and said: "God spare my child; God spare my child." You came out and walked the floor again and you said: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it." You could not bear to think of putting the long lashes over the bright eyes, never again to see them sparkle. If you could let your business go, if you could let your last dollar on earth go, you would have been glad to let it go if you could have kept that one treasure. But a chill blast swept through the room and all the lights were dead, and it was darkness impenetrable, and as you were about to put the bitter cup to your lips God said: "Let that cup pass," and another cup as though by the hands of angels was put to your lips, and it was the cup of God's consolation, and as jou would have taken a wounded soldier on one arm and with the other hand poured wine into his lips, so the Lord put His left arm under your head and with His right hand He poured into your lips the wine of divine comfort and consolation, and you looked at your broken heart, and you looked at the divine chastisement and you looked at the empty cradle and you said: "Even so. Father, for so it eeemeth good in Thy sight." You have been a better man ever since. You have been a better woman ever since. Xow, I must speak a minute ahout your last sorrow. Perhaps it was sickness of your. own body. But you are well now. You are well now. Have you thanked God for it?' But the second trouble, this last trouble, may not have been that. It may have been financial embarrassment. I congratulate many of you on lucrative profession, on commodious residence, on ornate apparel. Everything you touch seems to turn into gold, and I am glad of it. But there are others of you who have had great business misfortunes, great trials. Do not you realize that your bu?ine trouble has led you to an investment which will continue after the last bank is exploded and the silver and the gold are molten in the fire of a burning world ?

SIMILAR TO THE BIBLE. The Ilhagavad C.lta A Book Nearly Five Thousand Years Old. The Vedas, the chief of the Brahmanical scriptures, were written 3,000 years before Christ. These have been condensed by Brahmanical writers into one volume called the Bhagavad Gita, which is the bible of the modern Buddhist, and, like the Christian bible, it has been the 6ubjec of unlimited dispute as to proper interpretations of its occult passages, with the same result which has followed the differing views of men in Christ's words. A few texts from the Bhagavad Gita compared with texts from the bible will show much similarity. Below, the Yedic text will be given in full, with the corresponding idea in the Jewish scriptures, indicated by chapter and verse : "lie is the within and without of all things moving anJ stationary.

Religions Note and Thought. A Mercer (Fa.) minister will wed the woman "unanimously indorsed by his congregation." A pulpit of oxidized brass was dedicated at Detroit last Sunday in memory of the late Bishop Harris. The Sunday-school year book of the raethodist episcopal church reports 25,006 schools whh 2,06,343 scholars. Mr. Flagler, the owner of the Ponce de Leon hotel in St. Augustine, Fla., has given $2.",000 toward the erection of a synagogue in that city. America is another name for opportunity. Our whole history appears like ti last eüort of the Divine Providence iu behalf of the human race. Heaven is coming to be looked upon less as a place than as a state, and less as a state of having thau as a state of being. Christian lieg inter.

Christian Advocate, Nashville. About eighteen and a half million persons, it is estimated, pursue the scheme of study laid down by the international Sunday-school lesson committee. That committee recently met at Saratoga for its nineteenth yearly session and mapped out the work for 1801. Dr. Dowlincr, the new pastor of one of the Albany churches, is evidently well endowed with the gut of humor. In the course of a statement of his belief, which he read to his people a few evening atro, he remarked: "I believe there are some thiugs which cannot be answered by any theologian in the world not even the youngest." If the railroads were to universally adopt the Vanderbilt system's order no one would have any advantage in quickness of dispatch because of Sunday operation, and the tens of thousands of men employed in the handling aDd transportation of freight would be afforded a day of rest, which it is not only desirable, but just they should have. PA'a itlph it Ledger. Young Mr. Vanderbilt will endeavor to infuse some practical religion in his railroad business. Sunday work amomj freight employes will be reduced from ZZH to 50 per cent. This is purely an experiment, and its purpose is to allow the men to observe the day of rest at home. The most unrelL-ious feature about it is that the reduction also means a reduction of pay. Lall im ore Am erica n. The cessation of ordinary freight traSic on Sunday over a large part of the New York Central railroad system is an exceedingly interesting experiment. Mr. Pepew speaks hopefully but not with entire confidence as to the result. One of the most valuable tests which it will afford will be seen in the attitude of the employes toward the new regulation. The rrinciüal secular argument against Sunday labor is that it commonly involves a great personal deprivation. It will be most interesting to note wheiher or not the men who are concerned in this movement value a day's rest more than a day's pay. Xcc York Tribune. A MATCH FOR THE DRUMMERS. Commercial Lnriy-Killera Can't Flirt With Tiit Trettj Wniter-Girl. At one of the Scranton hotels there is a handsome, rosy-eheeked girl waiter, with large, expressive hazel eyes and beautiful brown bangs, who is more than a match for any and every fresh customer that tries to make himself unduly familiar while she is doing her duty in the dining-room, says a Scranton (Pa.) correspondent of the New York Nun. Her clear complexion, big. bright eyes, abundant hair, fine neck and shoulders, and the grace and ease with which she trips from table to table, attract the attention of every commercial lady-killer that comes along, but in her manner she gives them no excuse for being fresh around her. She is as independent as a man, and 6he knows how to take. eure öf. herself a good deal better than the generality of pretty girls do. A new customer at the house asked her one morning if she wouldn't accompany him to the theater, and her reply surprised him. "I never saw you before, sir, and why should you invite me to go to the theater?" "I've seen the play," said he, "and it's a very pood one. I know you would enjoy it, and it would give me great pleasure to take you." "Well, if you are so anxious for me to see the i'lny just you buy me a ticket aud I'll go alone. '11 not let you take me, as sure as you live." The man saw that he bad met a girl that wasn't to be fooled with, and he felt a little ashamed of himself. But he was equal to the emergency, and so he gave the handsome waiter two reserved seats, and she got another girl to go with her. The next time he came around he didn't invite her. "Where are you going to be to-night a little after 8 o'clock?" another fresh commercial fellow asked her at a late dinner one day, aud she answered as quick as a Hash: "I shall be right where I belong, and if you are where you belong you won't get into any trouble." That settled him for good. There was a big rush at dinner one day, and the bright girl was doing her share toward seating the guests promptly, when three fresh chaps, who had come in together, were seated at her table. She llew around in a hurry, and, when she bad got ready to take their orders, they dilly-dallied with their bills of fare, said simple things to the busy girl, grinned foolishly at her, tried to guy her, and made themselves generally disagreeable. She waited patiently long enough to have served them all around, and then they heard this from her pouting lips: "Did you gentlemen come in here to dine or to be funny? If you came to eat, I will serve you as quickly as I can; if you came to be funny, perhaps I'd better serve other people until you get over being so." They gave their orders mighty quick after that, and they behaved themselves real weil all through the meal. Half an hour after the regular breakfast one morning a late sleeper sauntered into the dining-room and was waited upon by one of the other girls. She gave him the best the house afforded at that late hour, but the food didn't suit him, and so he called the handsome waiter over to him and said: "What's the matter with that other girl? She didn't bring me half a breakfast." Then he got this answer: "I don't know what's the matter with her, but I can tell you what the matter is. The breakfast hour was ended half an hotirao, and you'll have to put up with the best we've got , and she gave it to you." lie aian t say any more. Admiral Porter's Compliments to Ilutler, "When that bird of ill-omen takes offense at any one he bottles up his venom until, in one of his maudliu intervals, he expels it. On my first acquaintance with Butler, at New Orleans, he sent me an impertinent message, upon which I wrote to him that if he did not 6end me an ample apology I would take personal satisfaction. He had to make the apology after doing all he could to dodge the isue. Since then we have not been at all like Damoa and Pythias. "About once in every five years, after one of his drunken bouts, Butler makes a spasmodic rush at me like a mad bull, but I have always caught him on my horns and thrown him Hat on his back. I wonder the public should notice what the old imbecile says, and, except for the fun of laying hira out again, I would not notice him now. He is the only man I ever heard of who could outlive the contempt of the whole nation ; could always run away in time of war and yet flourish. I came very near thrashing him when be was military governor of New Orleans, and am sorry I did not do it. The general is going to write a volume of 'Ileminiscences.' If he will come to me I will give him a book full about himself, which will enlighten the public, who may have forgotten the time when he went by the name of 'Beast' Butler among the children in the streets."

A THREE -YEAR-OLD KING

THE YOUTHFUL MONARCH OF SPAIN Other Stories For the Lit tie- Folks A Boy's Fight With Turtles Emily Speaks Her Iind Diplomacy Thoroughly ImpressedKnotty Problems. The king of Spain is called Alfonso XIII. lie is a very email king, not yet three years old; and, as some one has well said, he has the most comfortable throne in Europe on his nurse's lap. The Spanish government pays $1,400,000 annually for his maintenance, so you see a king is a very expensive luxury, which we can very well do without. His Austrian mother, Queen Christina, however, is very fond of him, and thinks he i3 worth more than all the gold in the world. When grave embassadors come to visit her, she will run out of the room, bring in the little king, hold him up proudlj', and display his plump aruiä and pretty little feet. Once she went on a journey to northern Spain. The chief magnate of the district, a duke, prepared a courteous address of welcome, which he commenced to read. Just then the baby king commenced to cry; the queen blushed; the duke was both quick-witted and kindhearted, and he stopped reading with the remark: "When the king speaks his subjects should keep silence." This made the queen laugh, caused everybody to feel good-natured, the crying soon ceased, and the address was finished. The Child rind Mr. Thackeray. N. Y. World. A lady tells this story of the novelist, Thackerav, who once visited her house: After having told a lot of delightful stories, Mr. Thackeray remarked that he must leave, as be was so terribly hungry. We told him that we could give him a really good dinner. "There is nothing, my dears, you an give me," he answered with a funny sigh, "for I could only eat the chop of a rhinoceros or a slice from an elephant." "Yes, I tan," exclaimed my three-year-old sister. She disappeared into a" big cupboard and soon emerged with a look of triumph on her fat little face, holding in her hand a wooden rhinoceros and an elephant from her Noah's ark. Putting the two animals on a plate, she handed them with great gravity to Mr. Thackeray. The great man laughed and rubbed his hands with glee, and then taking the child in his arms, kissed her, remarking, "Ah, little rogue, vou already know the value of a kiss!" Then he asked for a knife and fork, smacked Los li) s, and pretended to devour the elephant and rhinoceros. Diplomacy. Detroit Free Press. A pentlman was walking along Elizabetha few mornings ago. A little boy, four or live years old, stood in a gat way. As the gentleman approached the little fellow said : "Good morning." The gentleman saluted the youngster and entered into a conversation with him. "You don't know what I'm doing," said the little fellow. "What?" "I'm saving up to get five cents." "How much have you got toward the sum?" "Well, I haven't got any just yet." Of course the gentleman put his hand in his pocket and found three pennies, which he handed over. "I'll have to get two more before I have five, won't I ?" "Yes," replied the gentleman, without taking the hint, "but what are you going to do with the five cents after you get it?" . "Well, I hadn't made up my mind ytv I wanted to get the five cents first," A Hoy Fighting Turtles. v '.' "'" Poughlteepsie Tress. While the five-year-old 6on of John 1'urccll was "playing boat" in a mud pond or Hag marsh of Hochester he was attacked by a large nuniber of snapping turtles, very numerous in that section, and sustained several severe bites from the hitherto considered inotlensive reptiles. Xo cause is known for the attack, and in that section is entirely unprecedented. It seems the first warning the little fellow had was a general gathering of the turtles around him, each uttering a peculiar croaking noise. The little tot, being questioned about it by the attendin? physician, said: "Zay all tommenced to hollar an I frew 'tones at 'em.

Thoroughly Impressed. Minebester (N. II.) Union. A bright little six-year-old committed some trilling misdemeanor the other day, and was taken to task by her mother rather more seriously than the child thought the offense warranted. After listening some time in silence to repeated admonitions the little one interrupted her mother with: "Why, what makes you keep talking to me so?" "Because, replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind, so you won't do it again." "Well," wa9 the response, with the faintest little quaver of grief in her voice, "I'm 'pressed clear through now," What could the mother do but conclude that the lesson had been sufficiently '"pressed" tor the time being, and send the eweet little culprit about her play? Emily Speaks Her Mind. Boston Transcript Little Emily, five years old, is a great favorite in spite of her incorrigible freedom of expression. The other day she had been on a visit with her mother at a friend's, and had remained to dinner. At the table she had amused the family with the possible exception of its elderly and I serious head, by occasional remarks. As the meal was drawing to an end the hostess observed: "Kmily, wouldn't you like to stay here all the time and bo our little girl?''

A youngster who happened to be on the street when the electric lights were turned on was forcibly impressed with the preliminary sputtering as the current reached the lamps, and expressed himself thus to a gentleman who passed him: "Huh!

At a public school examination had in Atlanta some time ago one of the little girls was asked if she knew the meaning of the word "Amen." "Oh, yes," she said, "it means yours truly."

A Pontiac little boy was told at Sunday, school that when he died he would leave his body here. Alter returning home he was much troubled in regard to it and he questioned his parents.

May. fJaily the bbachird warbles spring, From orchard boughs, where blossoms cling, Anh so;ttne"south breeze greets th hours With music from the land of flowers. The lilac now, with greenest leaves, From the bland air its strength receives, And opens to the morning eye Its fragant crown of purple dye. The forest, from its stately bead, Shak 'S off its garlands, pale and deal, And like an Orieota' queen. Puts on its dress of living green ; Its dusky limbs, seen here aud there. Serve but to make its robes more fair, While flowers of earliest blooming greet The snnshinc flickering at its feet. Deep with Its tide of melted snows, On its wild way, the river Cows; Its truant angler answering shrill The plowboy's signal on the hill; When from the school-house in the vale, The pedagogue, with visaie pale, Stri les forth to teach, with rod and rule, The blockhead of the village school. The fruit trees blossoming in pride, Like almond groves on Cirmel's side, Wave in the morning gale and fling Their petals in the lap of spring. The running myrtle twines around The grave within the burial ground. While, startled by affection's tread, FUU the lone bird that loves the deal. How joyous Is the time of flowers. Of humming bees and whispering bowers, When rosy children seek the wood, Where the sly partridge trains her brood; E'en pale consumption stops awhile, And spreads o'er beauty's face a smile; While nature, from her bluni bering free. Warms the bleak vale and budding tree. When earth's cold winter of the soul In death shall yield its strong control, And from that chill embrace the heart. Like the first spring violet shall start ; Ol may the breeze of Eden play Around it in eterual day. And cause the wither'd bud to bloom In fadeless beauty beyond tne tomb. Indianapolis, May 7.
