All this was said in a tons of voice And manner that showed, even more than his words, how utterly broken and hopeless the man was, and when he ceased speaking he staggered again, and those about him thought he would have fallen; but he gathered his energies, made his way through the crowd, which opened to let him pass, went to the stable, and replacing the saddle on his horse, mounted him and turned his face toward home. The moment he left the Recorder's office, a dozen voices were heard eagerly demanding to know the details of the affair. The man who was to have bought the place could tell nothing beyond the fact that on examining the records he had discovered a mortgage against it for about the value of the property. “It seemed strange,” he said, “that the mortgage should be there and have escaped the eye, not only of Mr. Parsons himself, but of the maker of the abstract which ho received from Mr. Blake. There is evidently a mistake somewhere. Possibly the mortgage has been paid and the mortgagee has neglected to cancel it on the books in tile office; if so and it can be proved, it can ; all be made right yet” Then somebody suggested that Mr. Parsons be called back and an effort made to ascertain the facts. “It is a pity to let .the old man suffer so, if it is only a mistake and the mortgage^ias beeu pa d,” they said; and a half dozen1 of them started at once to call to Mr. Parsons to stay and try to learn all the'facts, but the Recorder, who had remaint d silent during the discussion, now spoke: “|t’s ho use, men,” he "said, “the mortgage is there, and there is no doubt but it will take the place, unless the old man can raise the money to pay it off. “You know I have only been in office less than a year. When I came in here I got to looking over the books back a piece and I found things a little bit mixed, and set to work to straighten — ’em up. Among other things I stumbled onto this mortgage. It was recorded all right, but it wasn’t indexed, and you know a man might hunt for a week through these books and not find a thing that wasn’t in the index. Besides, no one would ever think of doing so, as every mortgage is supposed to appear in the index under the name both of the maker and the mortgagee. “I thought at the time that like enough trouble would come of the blunder, which is the fault of old Puterbaugh, who was Recorder at the time it occurred. He was never sober two days at a stretch, and ought never to have been elected, but he managed somehow to get the nomination, and then we had to vote for him or go back oh the partv: and vou know we

couldq't do that. “.Well, as I was saying, I thought like as not Parsons never knew ot that mortgage being there, but I hadn’t the heart to mention it, and it wasn’t any of my business anyway, and 1 really hoped it had been paid and would never give him any trouble. But about a week ago a fellow was here from’Frisco —you remember h:m, Jo?” he said, interrupting h mself and addressing the landlord of the hotel, who was one of the crowd—“that fellow with a stovepipe hat and a suit of brown velvet clothes. He stopped with yon?” “Yes,” replied the landlord, “ I remember him. He was there to dinner and supper and left on the down boat” “Weil,” continued the Recorder, •‘that was Blake’s brother-in-law. I don’t know whether he is as big a rascal as Blake was or not, but anvway it seems that Blake got hard up and borrowed fifteen hundred dollars of this brother-in-law and gave a mortgage on that place up there for security. “It was more than the ranch was worth at the time, but I reckon Blake was in a tix where he had to have that amount, and as that was all the security he had ' to give, his brother-in-law let him have it. May be he never went to look at the place at all,. but just took Blake’s say-so for what the property was worth. “Well, after a bit, Blake, who was always looking over the records to see if he couldn’t strike a lead on some kind, happened to stumble onto the fact that old Puterbaugh hadn’t indexed that .mortgage, and he made up his mind to sell the place to somebody else and leave the country. “He knew no one would be likely to see the mortgage in making an abstract, and if they did discover it. why he would say it had been paid and destroyed, but the party had neglected to cancel it on the records. Then he would Muster around, pretending to be looking for the party who had held it in order to have the matter fixed op, but would never be able to find him, and pretty soon the man who was going to buy the place would get sick of waiting and go off somewhere else, or buy another place, and the whole thing would be forgo tier. “At least, tnat’s the way I figure It all out. and I reckon I ain't v jrv far from right” * tow does it come that this

brother-in-law hasn't put in a claim for bis interest money all this time:" ’ asked one of the bystanders. “If hi® claim on the place is good, he has been losing a pile of dust by not collectin' his interest from year to year.” “Well, may be so, and then again may be not,’’ returned the Recorders' “You see, the improvements Parsons has put on the place is worth a good deal more than the interest. Resides, this brother-in-law may not hare known that Blake had sold the place, and was just making it easy on Blake, as he supposed. “Anyway, the mortgage is there, and if you’ll step over to Tom Anderson's oftice I guess you’ll find that he has the job of foreclosing it in the next term of court, which begins the second Monday of next month, and that he has already sent notice to the News for publication, as required by law.” "It’s an outrage on the old man with, the crippled boy,” remarked one, as the crowd dispersed, “and Blake ought to swing for it If he was back again. I'd be one to help do it” “And I.” “anal,” “and V’ echoed a dozen voices. But Blake was not there, and will doubtless take good care never to go back. If living still, be is probably to be found in New York, or some other great city, running some swindling institution by means of which he obtains a living. He may even have amassed a fortune, and if so, should be looked for, if wanted, among the presidents of savings banks, or managers of some corporate monoply, robbing the people under the shelter of the Is w.

CHAPTER XXV. OYEK THE RANGE. It was three o’clock on a short October day when John Parsons left Thippsburg ou his return to the cottage where his wife and crippled boy awaited him. He did not call it home—did not. think of it as such now. Another held a claim against it for all it was worth in money, and his past experience led him to expect no mercy. He had not stopped to ascertain who held the mortgage, or anything about it, further than that it existed and was for a sum greater than he could, by any possibility, raise. He had no hope that it might prove a mistake in any way; that it; might have been pa'd and not canceled. He accepted it as what he ought really to have expected would happen soone r or later, for he had come to believe that the poor, those who labored in any way for a living, were looked upon as legitimate prej by a set of men who had by some means obtained control of the courts and of State and National Legislatures, and who in one way or another —but always under the guise of law— would rob the people just as men rob the honey bees, taking the honey, but letting the bees live in order that they might store up more honey for the robbers when their turn comes for teing robbed again. And so from the first mention of a mortgage he gave up all hope, regarding it as but another of the ways—of whicn experience had taught him that there were many—of taking from him and his their little accumulations; acd but one thought, one impulse remained—to get back to where bis wife and crippled boy were and die in their presence and with them. His brain seemed incapable of thought. There was a numbness about his whole body that made it difficult for him to retain his seat in the saddle, and several persons who saw hiim pass, swaying to and fro in his seat, thought that for once he had been driuking and had taken more liquor than he could well carry. But he was not drunk. He was crushed. All hope had fled, never to return again. No ray of light came t» him from any source. He paid no heed to the inquiring looks of those whom he met as he passed through the streets of the little town and took the road leading up into the mountains; no attention to the guidance of the animal which he rode. He had no clearly defined idea of what he should do or say when he reached the spot where his wife and and Johnny xvere, or of how they could bear the terrible news. He felt isolated from the1 entire world; was unconscious of what was passing around him or of the rapidly gathering storm overhead. His one dim idea was to get to where his wife and boy were; and I think he really expected that once there they would all go away out of the cottage and out of the world—that they would all die together, and at once. There seemed to be no place in this world for them, and yet they Were ordered to “move on.” Where else could they go to except to the other world; amt who else but Death was to point the way, or be their guide upon the journey? And Erastus and Lucy were to go, too, and woutd take the little baby that was not yet horn, for they were without a home also—they, too, had been ordered to “move on.” Then he wondered if Jennie and her husband were to go witu them, end lie was not quite sure about it. They would follow pretty soon, of course; for all who tried to get their living by work would be ordered to “move on” sooner or later; but it did not appear that they were to die at once, as he and Marth a and Johnny, and Lucy and Erastus and the baby must da

it inn tne ciouas, wmen nita been gathering all day, broke at last, and the rain poured down in. torrents, lie did not seem to know it. He was wet to the skin in an instant, but he was not conscious of it His rubber coat remained tied to the back of the saddle^ where he had fastened it in the morning before starting. The water ran from h:s person and tilled his bools, his horse plaoed his nose close to the earth and plodded on blindly in face of the storm, but his nder sat the same, one hand upon the loosened rein and the other hanging idly at his side; his eyes fixed upon the ground just in advance, bnt seeing nothing, taking no note of anything. Left to his own will, the horse plodded on through the mud and rain at a walk. Before they were half way home night had set in—night as black as clouds and falling rain could make it. Soon the water, still falling in torrents, began to fill the gulches with Hoods of the color of clay; floods which bubbled, and seethed, and roared their way down the hillsides and across the road, forming a frothy line of white, the only thing visible in the pitchy darkness. And still the horse plodded onward, fording the streams as he came to them; scrambling up the steep and slippery inclines where the road wound round the mountain side, avoiding, either by instinct or that peculiar power of seeing in the dark which some horses possess, the deep gullies cut by the rushing water in the clay of the roadbed; and still the rider sat motionless— save as he swayed to and fro w ith the movements of the animal which he rode — and looked straight forward into the night. Suddenly, when they were about twothirds of the way up the mountain, there came a flash of lightning, followed by a clap of thunder which seemed to rend the very earth, and echoed and reechoed from peak to peak and then went rumbling down the ravines and gorges, finally dying out miles and miles away among the foot-hills. - Many people have lived for years in California and never heard a clap of thunder or seen a vivid flash of lightning. A friend of the anther's who lived for twenty years, a part of the time in the foot-hills and a part in the valley, informs turn that never but onee

In all that time did she know the elements to be thus at war. It is no wonder. then, when the flash of lightning came, and the mountains shook with the roar of the thunder, that the steady old horse which John Parsons rode should be frightened into springing suddenly to one side, throwing his rider, and with nostrils distended and head and tail in the air dash away in the darkness, leaving him lying stunned by the roadside. Bow long he lay there John Parsons never knew; nobody ever will know, unless the angels who watch over each of us have made a record of it its part of the account against those whose greed sent a fellow mortal on that journey up the mountain through the worst storm’ known for years, with his brain turned by the knowledge of his loss, and all the blood in his body congesting about his heart And if the angels do keep such an account, there most be added to it the sufferings of Martha Parsons, as she watches by the cot of their child — grown dangerously ill since morning—watches and waits, and listens in vain for some sound that shall tell her that, through the storm and the darkness, her husband is safe at home

Johnny, as his mother had written Lucy, had been growning weaker for some months, and had finally appeared so bad that his parents had taken alarm and called a physic:an; bat as the lad seemed to rally under the prescription left him, they had ceased to fear any serious results. But now that the effect of the medicine had spent itself the patient again began to s.nk rapidly. in the excitement of making and signing the deed the day before, for which purpose a Justice of the Peace had come to the cottage in person, and in the departure of Mr. Parsons with the deed in his pocket with the intention of consummating the sale of the place, the change in Johnny’s condition, if any, had not been observed; and tl>e lad made nocorapla’nt, having come to accept his crippled and weakly condition as something wh'eh could not be changed. Her husband had noli been long go.je. however, before Mrs. Parsons noticed that Johnny had a slight fever, and at once began to censure herself for not having observed it sooner and asked John to have the doctor come out, or at least send another prescription. It was now too late to do this, and she must do the best she could Malone; perhaps after all the fever would soon pass off. She prepared and gave the child some simple household remedy, sponged his person with tepid water, and sought to amuse him by talking of the coming journey to the Slough, where Lucy and Erastus were, and the pleasant time they would have when they got there. But the fever did not go down; on the contrary it became higher as the honrs passed, until finally Mrs. Parsons became greatly frightened. She prepared a note to Dr. Bren ton, askingwim to come at onee. Upon tint? envelope she wrote a request that any one'going to town would deliver it into his hand. She then fastened the letter to a stick, one end of which she sharpened with a butcher knife, and telling Johnny she was going into the yard and would be back in a few moments, ran down to the big rbad and stuck the stick, with the letter attached, into the ground where any one passing would be almost certain of seeing it. This done she returned to the house as quickly as she had gone, and waited, and watched the one point of the road which was visible from the window, hoping to see pass a team or horseman, as an assurance that the message had found a carrier. One team she saw going in the opposite direction, but if the driver of it saw the letter he made no effort to forward it to its destination, fancying, perhaps, that some one going to town would soon pass and take it. As the afternoon came on, a new cause for alarm to the watcher by the cot of the sick boy appeared. The clouds were gathering in a way that betokened a long-continued and heavy rainfall. What if John should be detained until late by the business on which he had gone; would he be able to return at night in the midst of the storm which was approaching? If not, how should she get through the night all alone with the sick child? Or, what if John should attempt to come through the darkness and rain and should meet with an accident? She felt certain that he would make the attempt to reach home that night, no matter what the weather mightbe; but would he be able to get through? Would not the ravines fill with water and make the roacl dangerous, if not absolutely impassable? She could not tel!, she could only wait and hope for the Vest; but every moment seemed an hour, for hours beforo sbe had any reason to expect her husband's return, even if he Was not delayed by the storm. It was but a little after three o’clock when it began to rain; but so thick were the clouds that it seemed as if night were already at hand. Johnny had dropped off into a light sleep, and she sat by the window that commanded a view of the garden, the level ground with the ravine below, and the hills stretching awav towards Phippsburg and the river. 'The rain came down in torrents^ and she noticed how quickly little rills formed and ran down between the rows and vegetables in the garden, and lost themsetves in the stubble field bevond. The turkeva and

chickens, deceived by the nnusual darkness. had all sought their roost:?, except here and there one who hail been late about getting in and now stood with drooping tai feathers and a generally demoralized look beneath the thick leaves of some shrub or vine. Then it occurred to her to save for washing purposes some of the water that was falling, soft water being a luxury during half the year on the mountain; and she threw an old shawl about her head and shoulders and went out and set the wash-tub and boiler under the eave spout, and saw them titled almost before she could turn back into the kitchen. And now Johnny had wakened and was calling her. She went to him and felt her heart give a great throb as she noticed that his fever was higher than ever, and that his eyes had a strange look about them. She preserved her cairn appearance, ministered to his wants, and when he, asked for his father, told him that? he had not returned, and that they must not look for him yet awhile, but that he would come During a partial lull in the storm she ran ont to the shed and milked the eows, which had come up of their own accord, and were contentedly chewing their cuds beneath the shelter. The horse left at home stood in his stall, and kept taming his ears back and sideways, as if to catch the sound of his returning mate, and she set her milk pail on the ground and threw him a bit of hay. Upturning to the house she lighted both of the lamps and took them into the sitting-room where Johnny lay. in order to make it seem as cheerful as possible. She had kept the wood-box full of dry wood all day, and now she prepared everything for the starting of a fire in the cook stove, and a little later, started it, and put the tea-ketlle on. Although it was quite dark now, she did not much expect her husband just yet. bat wished to have everything ready to get him a cup of hot tea the moment he did come. She also brought out a suit of dry clothes and hitng them by the fire re-tdy for him to pat on. —Irregular eigcng at restaurants is becoming a fruitful source of dyspepsia in our cities, according to an eminent write* on hygiene—OUcagt i/craW [to be CONTINUED?}

TALMAUES SEKMON. The First Lion Tamer in the Per* son of tine Prophet DasieL “Windows don Toward Jerusalem”—'The Relative Attractions of Earthly and Heavenly Homes—Victory the Only Passport to Heaven. Brooklyn, S. Y., October 4.—The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage preached this morning in the Brooklyn Tabernacle on the subject, “Windows Toward Jerusalem.” Before the sermon he expounded the parable in Luke concerning the widow’s plea before the unjust judge, and shewed |how God honored prayer. To-day was con> niunion Sabbath, and numbers were added to the church membership, which now reaches considerably beyond 3,0)0. The opening hymn was: Nearer, my God, to Thee; E’en though it be A cross that raisethme, js Still all my song shall be, Nearer, ray God, to Thee Nearer to Thee.

The text of the sermon was: His windows being open and h!s chamber toward Jerusalem.—[Daniel vi., 10. Dr. Taimage said: The scoundrelly princes of Persia, urged on by political jealousy of Daniel, have succeeded in getting a law passed that whoever prays to God shall be put uuder the paw and teeth of the lions, who are lashing themselves in rage and hunger up and down the stone cage; or, putting their lower jaw on the ground, bellowing till the earth trembles. But the leonine threat did not hinder the devotions of Daniel, the ceeur de lion. These enemies might as well have a law that the sun should not draw water or that the south wind should not sweep across a garden of magnolias, or that God should lie abolished. They could not scare him with the red-hot furnaces, and they can not now scare him with the lions. As soon as Daniel hears of this enactment he leaves his office of Secretary of State, with its upholstery of crimson and gold, and comes down the white marble steps and goes to his own house. He opens his window and puts the shutters back, and pulls the curtains aside so that he can look toward the sacred city of Jerusalem, and then prays. I suppose the people in the street gathered under and before his window and said: “Just see that man defying the law; he ought to be arrested.” And the constabulary of the city rush to the police headquarters and report that Daniel is on his knees at the wide open windovi-. "You are my prisoner,” said the officer of the law, dropping a heavy hand on the shoulder of the kneeling Daniel. As the constables open the door of thecavern to thrust in their prisoner they see the glaring oyes of the monsters. But Daniel becomes the first lion tamer, and they lick his hands and fawn at his feet, and that night he sleeps with the shaggy mane of a wild boss, for his pHtow, while the K ng that night, sleepless in his palace, has on him the paw and teeth of a lion he can not tame, the lion of a remorseful conscience. What a picture it would be for spme artist. Darius, in the early dusk of morning, hot waiting for the footman or chariot, hastening to the den, all Unshed and nervous and in deshabille, and looking through the crevices of the cage to see what had become of his Prime Minister. “What, no sonud?'* he says; ‘ Daniel is surely devoured, and the lions are sleeping after their horrid meal, the bones of the poor man scattered across the fl>or of the cave: n.” With trembling voice Darias calls out, “Daniel t” N i answer, for the prophet is yet in profound slumber. But a lion, more easily awakened, advances, and with hot breath blown through the crevice seems angrily to d mu-od the cause of this interruption, and then another wild beast lifts his mam from under Daniel’s head, and the prophet, waking up, comes fhrth to report himself unhurt and well. But our text stands us at Daniel's window open to toward Jerusalem. Why in that direction open? Jerusalem. Jerusalem was bis native land and all the pomp of his Babylonish successes coaid not make him forget it. He came there from Jerusalem at eighteen years of age, and he never visited it though he lived to be eighty-five years. When he wished to arouse the deepest emotions and grandest aspirations of his heart he had his window open toward his native Jerusalem. There are many of you to-day who understand that without any exposition. This is getting to be a nation of foreigners. They have cotne into all occupations and professions. They sit in ail churches. It may be twenty years ago since yon got your naturalization papers, and yon may b> thoroughly Americanized, but you oau’t forget the land of your b rth, and your warmest sympathies go out toward it. "Your windows are open toward Jerusalem. Your father and mother are burie l there. It may have been a very humble r home in which you were born, but your memory often plays around it and you hope some day to g> and see it, the hill, the tree, the brook, the house, the place so sacred, the door from which yon s'arted oft with parental blessing to make your own way iu the world; and God only knows how sometimes you have longed to see the familiar places of your childhood, and how in awful crises of life you would like

H fc* UI(«OT VI UUT7 UiU wrinkled face that b'nt over you as you lay on the gen*le lap, twenty or forty or fifty years ago. You may have on this side the sea risen in fortune, and, like Daniel, have become great, and may have come into prosperities which you never could have readied if you had stayed there; and you may haPe many windows to your house, bay windows and skylight windows and windows of conservatory, find windows on all aides, but you have at least one window open toward Jerusalem. When the foreign steamer comes to the wharf you see the long tine of sailors with shouldered mail bags coming down the planks carrying as many letters as yon might suppose would he enough for a year’s correspondence, and this repeated again and again during the week. Multi* tudes of them are tetters from home, and at all the Post-offices of the land people will go to the window and anxiously ask for them, hundreds of thousands of persons finding that window of foreign mails, the open window toward Jerusalem. Messages that say: “When are you coming home to see us? Brother has gone into the army. Sister is dead. Father and mother are getting very feeble. We are having a great straggle to get on here. Would you advise ns to come to you, or will you come to us? All Join iu love and hope to meet you, if not in this world, then in a better. Good bye I” Yes, yes; in all these cities and amid the flowering Western prairies, and on the slopes of the Pacific and amid tha Sierras, and on the banks of the lagoon, and on the ranches of Texas there is an uncounted multitude who this hour stand and sit and kneel with their win'dows open toward Jerusalem. Sorao of them played on the heather of the S.-ottish bills. Some of them were driven out by Irish famine. Some of them in early life drilled in the German army. Som» of them were accustomed at Lyons or Marstilies or Paris to see on the street Victor tiugo and Gambetta. Some chased tho fchi.oiois among she Alpine precipices. Some plucked the ripe clusters from Italian vineyards. Some lifted their ifaces Under the midnight sun of Norway. It is no dishonor.to our land that they remember the place of their nativity. Miscreants would they be if, while they have some of their windows open to take in the free air of America and the sunlight of an atmosphere which no kingly despot has ever breathed, they forgot sometim s to open the window toward Jerusalem! No wonder that sometime! when the Swiss is far away from home, at hearing the National pir of Wfi .*wfi country *fing, the malady

of home-sickness comes on him so power* tolly as to cause his death. Too hare the example of the heroic Daniel ot my text for keeping early memories fresh. Forget not the old folks at home. Write often, and if you have surplus of means and they a deficit, make practical contribution and rejoice that America is bound to all the world by ties of sanguinity as is no other nation. Who can doubt but that it is appointed for the evangelization of all lands? What a stirring, melting, gospelising theory that all the doors ot other nations are open toward us while oar win* do ws are open toward them t But Daniel in the text k-pt this port* hole of his domestic fortress unclosed because Jerusalem was the capital of sacred influences. There smoked the sacrifice*

was iceuuiy oi nones. mere was the ark of the covenant. There stood the temple. We are all tempted to keep our windows open on the opposite side, toward the world, that we may see and hear and appropriate its alvantages. What does the world say? Wnat does the world think? What does the world do? Worshipers of the world instead of worshipers of God. Windows open toward Babylon. Windows open toward Corinth. W indows open toward Athens. Win lows open toward Sodon. Windows open toward the flats instead of windows open toward the hills. Sad mistake; for this world as a god is like something ! saw the other day in the museum of Strasburg, Germany. The figure of a virgin in wood and iron. The victim in olden time was brought there, and this figure would open its arms to receive him, and once enfolded, the figure closed with a hundred knives and lances npon him, and then afterward let him drop 13) feet sheer down. So the world first embraces its idolaters, then closes upon them with many tortures, and then lets them drop forever down. The highest honor the world could confer was to make a man Roman Eapiror, tut out of sixty-three Emperors it allowed only six to die peacefully in their beds. The dominion of this world over multitudes is illustrated by the nam>s of coins of many countries. They have their pieces of money which they call sovereigns and half-sovereigns, crowns and half-crowns, Napoleons and half-X ipo- ; leous, Fredekicks and double-Fredericks : and ducats and Isabeilinos, all of which names mean not so much usefulness as dominion- The most of our windows | open toward tne Exchange, toward the salon of fashion, toward the Goil of this world. In olden times the length of the English yard was fixed by the length of the arm of King Henry 1., an! we are apt to measure things by a variable standard and by the human arm that in the great i crises of life can give us no help. We need, like Daniel, to open oar windows toward God and religion. But, mark you, that good lion-tamer is not st anding at the window, but kneeling while he looks out. M >-t photographs I “re taken of those in standing or sifting posture. I now remember but one picture of a man kneeling, and that was David Livingstone, who. in the cause or Uo'd and civilisation, sacrificed himself, and in the heart of Africa his servant, Majwara, found him in the tent, by the lignt of a candle stuck on the top of a box, his head in his hands upon the pillow and dead on his knees. But here is a great lion-tamer living under the dash of the light and his hair disheveled by the, breeze, praying. The fact is that a man can see further on his knees than standing on tip-toe. Jerusalem was about 5>) statute m les froin Babylon, and the vast Arabian desert shifted its sands between ! them. Yet through that open window Daniel saw Jerusalem, saw all between it, saw beyond, saw time, saw eternity, saw earth and saw Heaven. Would you like to see the way through your sins to pardon, through your troubles to comfort, , through temptation to rescue, through dire sickness to immortal health, through night to day, through things terrestrial to things celestial? You will not see them till you take Daniel’s posture. N > cap of bone" to the joints of the fingers, no cap of hone to the joints of the elbow, but cap of bone to the knees, made so because the god of the body was the god of the soul, as especial provision for those who want to pray, and physiological structure joins with spiritual necessity in bidding us pray, and pray and pray. In olden time the Earl of Westmoreland said he had no need to pray, because he had enough pious tenants on his estate .to pray for him; but all the prayers of church universal amount- to nothing unless, like Daniel, we pray for ourselves. O men, and women, bounded on one side by Shadrach’s redhot furnace and on the other silo by devouring lions, learn the secret of courage and deliverance by looking at that Babylonish window open toward the southwest. “Oh,” you say, “that is the direction of the Arabian Desert.” Yes; but ou the other side of the desert is God, is Christ, is Jerulsalem, is Heaven. The Brussels lace is superior to all other lace, so beautiful, so multiform, so expensive, 400 francs a pound. All the world seeks it. Do you know how it is made? The spinning is done in a dark room, the only light admitted through a small aperture and that light falling directly on the pattern. And the finest specimens of Christian character 1 have ever seen, or ever expect to see, are those to be found in lives all of whose windows have been darkened bv bereavement and misfortune save one, but under that one window of prayer the interlacing of divine workmanship went on until it was fit to deck a throne, a celestial embroidery which angels admired and God approved.

But ft is another Jerusalem toward which we now need to open our windows. The exiled evangelist of Ephesus saw it one day as the surf of the Icarian Sea foamed and splashed over the boulders at his feet, and his vision reminded me of a we lding day when tha bride, by sister and maid, was having garlands twisted for her hair and jewels strung for her neck just before she puts her betrothed hand into the hand of her afSinoed: “I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride a lorned for her hu^£ baud.” Toward that bridal Jerusalem are our windows opened? We would do well to think more of heaven. It is not a mere annex of earth. It is not a desolate outpost. As Jerusalem w^> the capital of Judah, and Babylon the capital of the Babylonian monarchy, and London is the capital of Great Britain, and Washington is the capital of our own republic, the New Jernsalem is the capital of the universe. The King lives there, and the royal family of the redeemed have their palaces there, and there is a Congress of many nations and the Parliament of all the worlds. Yea, as Daniel had kindred in Jerusalem of whom he often thought, though he left home when a very young man, perhaps father and mother and brothers and sisters still living, and was homesick to see them, and they belonged to the high circles of royeily, Daniel himself having royal blood in his veins, so we have in the New Jerusalem a great many kindred, and we are sometimes homesick to see them, and they are all Princes and Princesses, in them the blood imperial, and we do well to keep our windows open toward their eternal residence. It i* a joy for us to believe that while we are interested in them th«y are interested in us. Uuch thought of Heaven makes one heavenly. The airs that blow through that open window are charged with life and sweep up to us aromas from gardens that never wither under skies that never cloud in a springtide that never terminated Compared with it alt other things are dead failures. Homer’s Heaven was an elysium, which be describes as a plain at the end of the earth, or beneath, with no snow or rainfall, and the sun never goes down, and Bhadamanthus, the justest o’f men, rules. Hesiod’s Heaven is what he calls the islands of tha blest, in the midst of the ocean, three times a year bloom ng with the most exqrtpte flowers, and the air is tinted with purple, while games and music and horseftflu essupy the Jim* The Bgaadin*

vian’a Heaven was the hall of Walhatla, where the tod Odin tare unending wine* suppers to earthly heroes and heroines. The Mohammedan's Hearen passes its disciples in over the bridge A1 Sirat, which is finer than a hair and sharper than a sword, and then they are lot loose into a riot of everlasting sensuality. The American aborigines look forward to a heaven of illimitable hunting-ground, partridge and deer and wild duck mire than plentiful, and the hounds never off the scent, and the guns never missing fire. But the geographer has followed the earth around, and found no Homer’s Elysium. Voyagers have traversed the deep in all

directions, ana roana no Hesiod's islands of the blest. The Mohammedan’s celestial debauchery and the Indian’s eternal hunt-ing-ground for Tast multitudes have no charm. But here rolls in the Bible heaven. No more sea; that is, no wide separation. No more tears; that is, no heartbreak. No more pain, that is, dismissal of lancet and bitter draught and miasma and banishment of neuralgia and catalepsies and consumptions. All colors in the wall except gloomy black. All the music in the major key because celebrative and jubilant. River crystalline, gate crystalline and skies crystalline because everything is clear and without doub'. White robes, and that means sinlessne <s. Vials full of odors, and that means pure regalement oT the senses. Rainbow, and that means the storm is over. Marriage hupper, an i that means gladdest festivity. Twelve inauner of fruits, and that means luseious and unending variety. Harp, trumpet, grand march, anthem, amen and hallelujah in the sam> orchestra. Choral meeting solo and overture meeting antiphon and strophe joining dithyramb as they roll into the ocean of doxologies. And you and I may have all that, and have it forever, through Christ, if we will let him with the blood of one wounded hand rub out our sin and with the other wounded hand swing open the shining portals. Dry and night keep your window open toward that J -rusalcm. Sing abont it. Pray about it. Think about it. Talk about It. Bream about it. Do not be inconsolable about your friends who bare goue into it. Do not worry if something in jotr heart indicates that you are not far ©3 from its tc Pastes. Do not think that when a Chris iaa dies he stops, for he goes on. An ingenious mau has taken the heavenly furlongs as mentioned in Revelation, an 1 lias calculated that there will be in heaven ItO rooms It) feet square for each ascending sonl, though this world lose a hundred million yearly. But all the rooms of heaven will be curs, for they are family rooms, and as no room in your house is too gobd for your ch'ld -an, so atl the looms of all palaces of the heavenly Jerusalem will be free to Cod’s child re u, and even the throne room will not be denied, aud you may run up the steps of the throne and put your hand on the side of the throne, and sit down beside the King, according to the promise: ‘‘To him that overeometh will I grant to sit with aia in my throne.” Bu. you can not go in except as conquerors. Many years ago the Turks aud Christians were in battle, and the Christians were defeated, and with their commander, Stephen, fled toward a fortress where the mother of this common ter was staying. When she saw her son and his army iu disgraceful retreat, she had the gates of the fortress rolled shit, and then, from the top of the battlement, cried uut to her son: “You can-not euter here except as conqueror.” Then Stephen rallied his forces and resumed the battle, and gained the day, 2),000 driving back 73,0001 For those who are deft a‘ed in the ba tla with sin and death and hell, nothing bat shame and contempt. But for those who gain the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ the gates of the New Jerusalem will hoist and there shall be an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord, toward which you do well to keen your windows open. BEES IN POSSESSION. A Maryland Church iu Which There Was No Service List Sunday. \ [X. Y. Graphic Etkton (Md.) Speeial.1 Adjoining Wesley Chapol resides a gentleman whose particular fancy is bee cu'tnre. His apiary includes a double baker’s dzeu of hives, whose rich store of honey is the provocative to the marauding expeditions of ail the boys in the neighborhood. Last Saturday a grand raid was organiz'd by the boys and they came away with their fingers dripping, tieir mouths plastered np with the stolen sweets and their faces marked with angry centers of inti immatiou. Tho bees waited for twenty-tour hours and then they got in their revengeful work. Tho congregation of Wesley Chapel had tied up their teams and were settling into their seats on S inday morning when they found that swarms of bees had taken possession of tho church. They made the discovery so suddenly that they didn’t have a chance to escape before the bees began business with indefatigable industry and persistence. It is estimated that the proportion of stings to the second in tho, fifty seconds that it took the best runner to make the distance from the front pew to the door was as seven to one. Some of the slower movers failed to cover the space in less than a minute and a half. The heroic pastor wared Jong enough to announce that the’church was untenable-and that no service would be held that day. He was the last one to escape, and bears a proportionate number of honorable wounds. The bees are feeling tolerably comfortable and the congregation are holding meetings to decide whether they shall make another tight to cleanthe church out before Sunday.

SURPRISING PATIENCE. A Beautiful Women Who Hail Spent Twenty-Nine Tears in 11 ->!. [Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.] “I have beea confined to my bel, sir, for twenty-nine years, and still I think life is worth living.” The above remark was made by Mrs. Shattix, a patient at the Protestant Home , for Incurables, yesterday afternoon, to a Commercial Gazette representative. The lady, who is the victim of an incurable spinal disease, lay helplessly in a most elegant and airy room with an enchanting view through the window- Her countenance betokene 1 great patience and Christian submission. Although comparatively young her hair is lily white. Her face looks as plump and healthy as though in the full enjoyment of vigorous life. “Do yon never tire ot lying there?” she was asked. “Oh no, sir. I am quite resigned to ray lot in life. I know that I am beyond cure, but extreme despondency and discontentment will not make my life any happier. I do at times become a little down-heart-ed, but as soon as I look out of mv windows and see the hills, the fields, the wood s and birds in ail their natural beauty, when I hear and see the dear children in their innocent gambols and when I reflect how well I am cared for here, my heart cheers np and 1 deem myself ungrateful for inwardly complaining.” This lady is quite wealthy. She has no relatives, and for this reason has chosen the beautiful suburban institution as the place to spend the remaining years of her wearisome life. She realises not with regret, but with tranquil peace, the hard fact that she will never leave that bed, until it is to be carried out in a coffin to the neighboring c emetery. One Hundred and Six Year^Jtld. [Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) Special. ] Moses Warrenellah, a Christian Jew, one hundered and six years old, died today at the County Poor-honse. He came to the United States from Germany seventy years ago, having traveled all over the world. In 1849 he walked to California, and worked in the geld-mines for several years, meeting with success. For many years he took a prominent part in campmeetings, and preached in Sunday-schools it wherever be could secure an audieoca He was never married.

TWO NOTED MINSTRELS, Who Hitt Won Fortunes and What They Say About Stage Ufa

Rot Stone Whisper*. “Billy*’ Emerson has recently made a phenomenal success in Australia, and is rich. Emerson was bom at Belfast in 1846. Be began his caret# with Joe Sweeney’s min* strels in Washington la 185T. Later on he jumped into prominence in connection with Newcomb’s minstrels with whom he Visited Germany. Ho visited Australia in 1S74 and on his return to America joined Haver* ley’s minstrels in San Francisco at 5000 a week and expense!!, With this troupe he flayed before her majesty, the Queen, the Prince of Wales, ana royalty generally. After this trip he leased the Standard theater, San Francisco, where for three years he did the largest business ever known to minstrelsy. In April last he went to Australia again, where he has “ beaten the record.” “ Billy” is a very handsome fellow, an excellent singer, dances gracefully, and is a true humorist. “Yes, sir, I have traveled all over the world, haveTneb all sorts of people,, come in contact with nil sorts of customs, and had all sorts of experiences. One must have a constitution like a locomotive to stand it. “Yes, 1 know I seem to bear it like a major and I do, but I tell you candidly that with the perpetual change of diet, water and climate, if I had not maintained my vigor with regular use of Warner’s Safe Cure I should have gone under long ago.” George H. Primrose, whoso same is known in every amusement circle in America, is even more emphatic, if possl* -ble, than “Billy” Emerson, in commendation of the same article to sporting and traveling men generally, among whom it is a great favorite. Emerson has grown rich on the boards and so has Primrose, liecause they have ic-t squandered the public’s “favors.” Whex is a bet like a crank?
