O, heaven is not a dull placet Heaven b not a contracted place. Heaven is not n Stupid place. “I taw the twelve gate) and they were twelve pearls.** In the second place, 1 want yon to coant the number of those gates. Imperial parks and lordly manors are apt to haV» one expensive gateway and th« others are ordinary; bat look around at these entrances to Heaven and oonnt their . One, two, three, four, five, six, sever, eight, nine ten, eleven, twelve., Hear hi, all the earth and all the Heavens! Twelve gates I I admit tills Is rather hard on sharp sectarianisms. If a Presbyterian is bigoted he brings his Westminster j Assembly Catechism, and he makes * gateway out of that, and he says to ths I world: “You go through there or stay out.*’ If a Methodist is bigoted he plants two posts and he says: “How yon crowd tn between those two posts or stay out. ” Or perhaps an Episcopalian may say: “Here, is a liturgy out of which I mean to make a gate; go through it or stay out.** Or a Baptist may say: “Here is a water-gate; you go through that or you must stay out.’* And so in nil our churches and in our denominations there are men who make one gate for themselves and then demand that the whole world go through it, I abhor this contractedness in religious views. O, small-souled man, when did God give job the contract for making gates? I tell you plainly, I will not go in that gate. I will go in at any one of the twelve ghtes l choose. Here is a man who sajrs: “I can more easily and more closely a;, proach God through a prayer-book.” I say: “My brother, then am tie prayer-book.” Here is a man who sajrs: “I believe there is only one mode of baptism, and that is immersion.” Then I sajr: “Let me plunge you.” Anyhow I say, away with the gate of rough panel and rotten posts and rusted latch, wheui there are twelve gates and they are twelve pearls.

sue uci is cnac a great many or Mie churches in this day are be hit; doctrined to death. They have been trying to find out all about Sod's decrees, and they want to know who are elected to be saved and who are reprobated to be damned, and they are keeping on discussing that subject when there are millions of souls who need to have the truth put straight at them. They sit counting the number of teeth in the jawbone with whieh Samson slew the Philistines. They sit on the beach and see a vessel going to pieces n the offing, and instead of getting into a boat and pulling away for the wreck, they set discussing the various styles of oarlocks. God intended us to know some things and intended us not to know others. I have heard scores of sermons explanatory of God’s decrees, but came away moire perplexed than when 1 went. The on>y result of such a discussion is a great fog. Here are two truths which are to conquer the world: Man, a sinner; Christ, a Saviour. Any man who adopts these tvro theories in his religious belief shall have my right hand in warm grip of Christina brotherhood. A man comes down to a river in time of freshet. He wants to get across. He has to swim. What does he do? The first thing is to put off his heavy apparel and drop everything he has in his hands. He must go empty-handed if he is going to tile other bank. And 1 tell you when we have come down to the river of death and find it swift and raging, we will have to put off all our sectarianism and lay down oir cumbrous creed, and empty-handed put out for the other shore. “What," say you, “would you resolve all the Christian churches into one kind of church? Would you make all Christendom worship in the same way, by the same forms?" O, not You might as well decide that all people shall eat the same kind of food, without reference to appetite, or wear the same kind of apparel without reference to the shape of their body. Your an-entry, your temperament, your surroundings, wOl decide whether you go to this or that church, and adopt this or that polity. One church will best get one man to Heaven, and another church another man. I do not care which one of the gates yon go through, if yon only go through one of the twelve gates that Jesus lifted. Looking out at the one hundred and forty and four thousand, and yon can not tell at what gate they came in. One Lord. One faith. One baptism. One glassy sea. One doxology. One triumph. One Heaven. “Why, Luther, how did you get in?" “I came through the third gate," “Cranmer, how did you get in?" “I came through the eighth gate." “Adonirnm Judson, how did yon get through?" “I enme through the seventh gate.” “Hugh McKall, the martyr, how did you gnt through?" “1 enme through the twelfth gate." Glory to God, twelve gates, but cue Heaven. In tho third place, notice the points of the oempass toward whieh these gates look. They are not on one side or on two sides, or ow three sides, hot on four sides. Tnis is no Haney of mine, but a distinct

While t spank an ever-increasing throng Is passing through the gates. They are going ap from Senegambia, from Patagonia, from Madras, from Hong Kong. “What t» you any, “do yon introduce a> the heathen into glory f" I teU you the fact is, that the majority of the people in those climes die in infancy and the infants all go straight into eternal life, and so the vast majority of those who die in China and India, the vast ma» jority of those who die in Africa, go straight into the skiee—they die in in* fancy. One hundred and sixty genera* tions have been born since the world was created, and so I estimate that there mast be 15,000,000,000 children hi glory. If at A concert 3,000 children sing, your soul is raptured within von. O, the transport* when 13,000,000,000 little ones stand up in white before the throne of God, their chanting drawing out all the stupendous harmonies of Dusseldorf and Leipsic and Boston! Pour in through the twelve gates, O ye redeemed, banner lifted, rank after rank, saved battalion after saved battalion, until all the city of God shall hear the tramp, tramp. Crowd all the twelve gates. Room yet. Room on the thrones. Room in the mansions. Room on the river bank. Let the trumpet of invitation be sounded until all earth's mountains hear the shrill blast and the glens echo it. Let missionaries tell it in pagoda and colporteurs sound it across the W estern prairies. Shout it to the Laplander on hid swift sled; halloo it to the Bedouin career* ing across the desert. News! news! A glorious Heaven and twelve gates to get into it. O rou thin-blooded nations of eternal winter! on the north three gates. Hear it, O you bronzed inhabitants pant* ing under equatorial heats I on the south three gates. But I notice when John saw the gate* they were open—wide open. They will not always be so. After while Heaven will have gathered op all its intended population and the children of God will have come home. Every crown taken. Every harp struck. Every throne mount* ed. All the glories of the universe bar* vested in the great garner. And Heaven being made up, of course the gates will b* shut. Austria ilk, and the first gate shut. Russia in, and the second gate shut. Italy

Norway in, and the eighth gate shut. Switzerland in, and the ninth gate shat. Hindostan in, and the tenth gate shot. Siberia in, and the eleventh gate shat. Ail the gates are closed bat one. Now, let America go in, with all the islands of the sea and all the other nations that have called on God. The captives all treed. The harvests all gathered. The nations all saved. The flashing splendor of this last pearl begins to move on its hinges. Let two mighty angels pat their shoulders to the gate and heave it to with silvery clang. Tis done! It thunders 1 The twelfth gate shut! Once more, I want to show yoa the gatekeeper. There is one angel at each one of these gates. You say that is right. Of coarse it is. You know that no earthly palace, or castle, or fortress, would ha safe without a sentry pacing up and down by night and by day; and if there were no defenses before heaven, and the doors set wide open, with no one to guard them, all the vicious of earth would go up after awhile, and all the abandoned of hell would go up after awhile; and heaven, instead of being a world of light, and joy, and peace, and blessedness, would be a world of darkness and horror. So 1 am glad to tell you that while these twelve gates stand open to let a great multitude in, there are t welve angels to keep some people out. Robespierre can not go through there, nor Hildebrand, nor Nero, nor any of the debauched of earth who have not repented of their wickedness. If one of these nefarious men who despised God should come to the gate, one of the keepers would put his hand on his shoulder and posh him into outer darkness. There is no place in that land for thieves, and liars, and whore-mongers, and defrauders, and all those who disgraced their race and fought against their God. If a miser should get in there he would poll up the golden pavement. If a house-breaker should get in there, he would set Are to the mansion. If a libertine should get in there, he would whisper his abominations standing on the white coral of the sea the sea beach. Only those who are bloodwashed and prayer-lipped will get through. O, my brother, if yoa should at last come up to one of the gates aad try to get through, and you had not a pass written by the crushed hand of the Son of God, the gate-keeper would with one glance wither you forever. There will be a password at the gate of Heaven. Do yon know what that password is? Here comes the crowd of souls op to the gate and they say; “Let me in. Let me in. 1 was very useful on earth. I endowed colleges. I built churches and was famous for my charities; and having done so many wonderful things for the world, now 1 come up to get my reward.** 4 Totce from within says: “1 never knew you.” Another great crowd comes np aad they try to geMhroagh. They say: “We were highly honorable on earth aad the earth bowed very lowly before as. Wa were honored on earth sad now we come to get our honors in Heaven.** And a voice from within says: “I neve knew yoa.’*

Another crowd advances and says: “We were very moral people on earth, very moral indeed, and we come up to get appropriate recognition.** A voice answers: “I never knew yon.1* After awhile 1 see another throng approach the gate, and one seems to bn spokesman for all the rest, although their voices ever and anon ery: “Ament Amen !’* This one stands at the gate add says: “Let me in. 1 am a wanderer from God. I deserve to- die. 1 have come np to this place not because 1 deserve it, bat because 1 have heard that there is a saving power in the Wood of Jesus." The gate-keeper says: “That is the paae-word, ‘Jesus! Jesus!*"andthey pass in and they surround the throne, and the cry is: O, when troops of God shout: “The east]* taken,** how grand it will be if you and 1 are among them! Blessed are all they who enter in through the gates into the city. The Earliest Spring la a Century. |K. T. Times) "The spring of the present year," said Booster H. R. Low, of Orange County, K.

In snaking pies of it use strips across the top for a change. Even a change in the appearance of food sometimes makes it taste better.—Boston Budget. —All trees and shrubs should be properly labelled. The labels that come on the trees from the nursery should not be retted on, as the names soon wash off. Sheet zinc, cut in the form of a long tapering wedge, makes the best cheap label we know of, being indestructible, easilv applied, and can never injure the tree 'if rightly put on. This is done in the easiest possible way by merely coiling the tapering end around a small branch several times, and thus it will yield to the increase of size. The writing may be done with a common lead pencil, and will increase in distinctness with time.—S. Y. Telegram.

HAY BARRACKS. The Importance of Having Some Kind of Protection for the Hay Crop. • Clover is hard to keep in stack. On well regulated farms there is but little tame' hay but what is more or less mixed with elover. When clover is once fairly established on the farm it is difficult to keep meadows clear of it. even if one wanted to. Timothy meadow will produce more timothy hay to have one-third of the crop.elover. The latter keeps the soil loose, mellow and damp, and the timothy makes heavier crop. If therefore the hay be one-third clover it is almost impossible to stack it so it will keep successfully. But hay which is thoroughly caret! and kept safely is far better for any class of animals, if it be at least one-third clover. It is therefore highly important that farmers should have some kind of protection for their hay. A good barn is the best lor such a purpose. But that is costly. Sheds or barracks can be made cheaply, (hae twenty feet square ami twenty feet high, with a movable roof, will do very well without boarded sides. Such a barrack will hold twenty tons of hav, and with a horse fork can be easily filled twenty feet high. The cost of a hay Barrack of this kind will be paid for the first year in the better keeping of twenty tons of hay. The i-oof should be made as light as possible, so that it can be raised ;tnd lowered, as iit is filled or emptied. It should be light enough so that one man can raise or lower a corner at a time, at his convenience. Without this it wilt have to Ibe boarded up, as the rain or snow would blow under the roof. But if the iroof is raised as it is fitted, in haying a load can be put in at any time, as it is jin a barn, and then it is safe. And when hay is part elover, as it always should be, great care and good judgment have to be exercised to have the hay cured just right, and when it is right, it should go immediately to the barn or shed, as mixed hay can not be saved successfully in cock in a rain. So it is all important to have a place where hay can be stored just as soon as it is ready. Nearly hah: of all hay cut, when it is stacked is spoiled. Where clover is, the water will run in—it will spoil in for some inches all over the stack, and a considerable of a layer at the bottom is worthless. And when a stack is opened in winter or summer to feed, it is at the mercy of the weather which is always of the worst character at the wrong time. Or, if you do not like the barracks, make sheds with stationary roofs. They can be twenty feet wide and as long as desired. It should lie sloped all one wdjr, and if covered with boards made pretty steep. It is best to have the highest side face the cast, as the heavy, dashing showers seldom come from that direction. If the hay settles after put in, it would be better to put on boards extending from the roof down to the hay, to protect it.—DCs mines (hk) Register.

LEARNING HOUSE-WORK. au Apprenticeship lu the Kiteheu. If mothers educated their daughters to think more honorably of house-work, we would not have so many inefficient house-keepers, but if the mother is efficient in the control of her home, she had rather do the whole than have the trouble of teaching her daughters, forgetting that this is an injustice to them as well as to herself, and she can no more neglect this part of their education than she can neglect their education from books; and they should be taught to understand that to be an adept in the art of sewing, plain or otherwise, is as great ah accomplishment as music and painting; not that 1 underrate these latter accomplishments, but I consider the former as equal to them, and it seems strange to me that mothers are so Mind to this most essential part of their daughters' education. "hen we contemplate the many unhappy homes made so by the incapacity of their mistresses, our best instincts convince us that th* training of our girls is absolutely wrong. I once heard a farmer's daughter say to her mother the week before she was married. “I have never made a loaf of bread or cake,” and she was twenty-three at that time and her intended was a fanner, and the mother was veil assured that the daughter would hare to be her ow« housekeeper. But even in the case of dividing the care of the household with servants the discipline is better when the lady has a practical knowledge of how things should be done, and tie length of time required in the performance of certain duties. If she has a knowledge of these facts she will be a wore kind and patient mistress. While I believe tha i our girls should be proficient in every department o!

Only TWo Days a Week. iBrattleboro (Ykj Spectai-1 ♦hhtowinjf Somerset; which lie* on tk* ' 'xwder* at Windham County, and with a population of sixty-seven seventeen of whom are voters, is trying to make trouble for the spdjky now postmistress, Mrs. Sutton, wh(J|0planted the post-office in a box by thflcitchen stove, and insists on locking the house and going visiting just when she pleases. In short, she has made the proclamation that the post-office will be open only on twd days of the week. Post-office Inspector I* B. Lam son has just been over there to persuade the woman that nothing but ten hours a day would do for the service, but she simply told him that two days iu the week was enough, and that she didn’t propose to tie herself up to that post-office or stay at home if she wanted to go a-vtsiting—not for Mr. Chase nor fw Mr; Lamsou, nor the United State* Post-office Department.

But she has little to fear, as Somerset is in a wild, mountainous region, about thirty miles from a good road, and not likely again to be visited for some time by a Government inspector. The sixty-seven souls of that town have got to fight it out alone with the plucky postmistress. An Old Story In New Form. IN. T. Sun.] The tost ring story comes to hand ai usual.
