[AGE’S SERMON. Opening ot a Series on the "Voloes of the Gardens and Fields." Subject. Suggested by the Preacher'. sate, awr Rumblings -The Caraphire Plant a* Typical ef Christ—The Be. alive fewer ef Grace. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmag* epencd a new •cries of sermons o« special topics at “The Hamptons,H N. Y., on a recent Sabbath, the “Voice;i of the Gardens and Fields” being the theme. His text was: My beloved Is undo me as a clasterbt campblreln the vtneytrde of Ku-gedl_Song e( Solomon, L, U. “Solomon’s 8on g” has been considered by many as fit only for moonstruck sentimentalists; written by a voluptuary; the story of a man erased by a fair maiden; fit neither for family prayers nor for church. Indeed ere must admit that there were years in Solomon’s life when he had several hundred more wives than he was entitled to; but ho repented of his sin, ahd God chose him to write some of the best things about Christ that have ever been writtep. Besides that, I think the criticism of modern titles upon theimmodeety of the Bible comes with poor grace from a century in which the writings of George Sand come to their fortieth edition, and k Christians cau nols get to the prayer meet- : because they have tickets for places of amusement so depraved that they make L he “Black Crook” respectable. I think, however, as far an I can see, in my stupidTty, that there are things turned out upon Tte community to -day that bid fair to do ore damage than the Song of Solomon. .Hear, now, one £f his fresh and fair deiptions of Jesus. If I had twenty rs to preach I would like to employ teta them in bringing out to observation hose representations ot Christ that have s yet been passed by. I do not know Why the pulpit should hover over a few types of Christ when there are so many symbols of Jesus that have never been discoursed upon. Why should we employ our time in examining a few lilies, when the Bible is a great garden filled with fuchsias, and with daffodils, and with amaranths, and Wfth evening primroses for the close of life’s day, and crocuses at the foot of the snow bank of sorrow, and heartsease for the troubled, and ]Mission flowers planted at the foot-of a cross, and morning glories spreading out under the splendors of the breaking day? Some years ago I discoursed to you about “the white hairs of Jesus,” and some of the newspapers supposed it was a mere fancy of my own—the poor fools not knowing that in Revelations, the first and fourteenth, the Bible speaks of Christ:

His Bead and las hairs were white line wool, as white as arrow— symbolizing the eternity of >JeBus. Terraced on the side of the mountain were the vine yards of Eu-gedi. Oh, they were sweet, places! From a shelviug of the mountain, four hundred feet high, waters came down in beautiful baptism on the faces of the leaves; the grapes intoxicate with their ovrn ■wine; pomegranates with juices bursting from the rind; ail fruits and flowers and aromatic woods— among the sweetest of these the camphire plant of - the teiit- Its flowers are in clusters like our lilac—graceful, fragrant, symbolical of Jesus; for My beloved Is into me as a cluster of v camphire from the vineyard ot En-gedi. 1 will carry out the idea of my text, and in the first place show you that this camphire plant of Ihs text whs a symbol of Christ, because of-its fragrance. If I had a branch of it aud should wave it in your midst, it would fill all the hopse with its redolence. The camphire, as we hare it, is offensive to some! but the camphire plant of the text bad a fragrance gracious to all. The vineyards of En-gedi bathed in it—the branches, the buds, the blossoms, dripping with sveetnesC8, typical of the sweetness of Christ. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer’ll ear! It sootheB his sorrows, heats his wounds, And drives array his fear. The name of CiBsar means power; the name of Herod m»ans cruelty r the name of Alexander metins conquest; the name of Demosthenes means eloquence; the name of Milton means poetry; the name — —of Benjhmin Went means painting; the name of Fhtdias means sculpture; the name of Beethoven means music; the name of Howard means reform; but the name of Christ means lo ve. It is the sweetest name that ever melted from lip or heart. As you open an old chest that has long been closed, the first thing that strikes you is the perfume of the herbs that were pitched amid the clothing; so there arehundredsof hearts here which, If opened, would first offer to you the name of Jesus. Have you not seen Him? Through the dark night of your sin has he not Bashed upon your vision? Beautiful when he comes to help, beautiful when he comes to save. A little child was crying very much during the time of an eclipse. It got so dark at noon that she was afraid and kept sobbing;, and could not be silenced until after awhile the sun came out again, and she clapped her hauds, and said: “O, the sun! the sun!” Some of us have been in the darkness of our sin; eclipse after eclipse has passed over our soul; but after s,while the Sun ot Righteousness poured his beams upon our hearts, and wo cried: “The suu!

w»e sun!” Beautiful dawn in the straw of the Bethlehem khan! Beautiful in His mother’s shawl, a fugitive to Egyjit! Beautiful with his feet in the Galilean surf! Beautiful with the children hausing about His neck! Beautiful in the home circle of Bethany! Fairer than the sons of men; day-spring from on high; light for those who sit in darkness; rose of Sharon; illy of the Talley—altogether lovely! O! He is such seisin - pardon er, such a trouble-sooth-or, stitch a wound-binder, such a gravebreaker, that the faintest pronunciation of His name rouses up all the incense of the garden and all the perfume of the tropics, while the soul, in ecstasy of affection cries out: My beloved is onto me as a cluster of camphtre from the vineyards of En-gedl. But how shall 1 talk of the sweetness of Christ’s pardon to those who have never felt it; of the sweetness of His coinfort to those who have refused His promise; of the sweetness of Hia lace to those who have turned their back upon His love!' Now, a great many people may think this is merely sickly sentimentalism. Jonathan Edwards was a cool man. He was harsh in some of his opinions., he was never afflicted with any sentimental ardor | and yet, when the name'of Christ was mentioned, it threw him into a transport. Paul was a cool logician, with nerves unshaken in the Mediterranean shipwreck, a granitic nature, oomfortable with the whole world against him,shaking his fist in the face of the Governments of earth and the forces of darkness; yet the thought of Christ thrilled! him, transported him, overwhelmed him. John Knox was unbending in his nature, and hard in some respects. The flush of bis indignation made the queen ihlver and the duchess quake; yot he eat down as a little child at the feet of Jeans. Solomon was surrounded by all palatial splendor—his ships going out from Ktic n-geber on voyages of throe years, bringing back all the wonders of the world; his parks afloat with myrrh and frankincense, and a-rustle with treea brought from foreign lands, the traces of his stupendous gardens found by the traveler at this day. Solomon site down in this place to think of Christ, the altogether lovely and the altogether fair; and whilst seated, share comes a breath of the epices and aromatic woods, and of the hloesoms, In through the palaee window, and he cry* eat: My beloved Is »«to ms ss s cluster of samphire from the vineyards of En-gedl. O rich *n4 r*»e, exquisite and ever-last-ing perfume! Let It In every poor man’s windows: plant tte« every grave; put Its leaver under,

•bout to die, *nd my Saudi n» cola and ■tiff and whitn upon the pillow, let tome plain end humble soul come and put In my dying grasp this living branch with dusters. Of camphlre from the Vtteyatde ot Rn-geAt { It is many years now since I found the Lord. 1 must in your prc:s«nee loll you how good He has bson to ray soft. Often since then I have gi¥eh Him a bard thrust *n- *il8 tore Sid'd; but He has been patient with bee by day and by night. It is the grief of my life that I hare treated Him so badly; but He has never let ine go. I have seen no wonderful sights. I have heard no wonderful sounds, I have so marvelous experience; it has been, a plain story ef patience on Hie part and of unworthioess on my part. Some of my dear friends before me have hud Wore rapturous experiences. Christ to them has been the conqueror on the white hotae, Sr the sun of righteousness setting everything ablaze with light, or the bridegroom coming with lantern and torches. To lire it has been a very quiet and undemonstrative experience. It had been something very sweet bnt very st*!i. liow shall I describe it* I haVv It now: My beloved is unto me like a cluster of camphlre from the vineyards of Ku-gedl. But I remark further: This cainphire plan t ef the text was a symtiol of Christ in the fact that it gives coloring. From the Mediterranean to the Ganges the people of the East gathered it, dried the leaves, pulverised them, and then used them as a dye for beautifying garments and their , own persons. It was that ifact that gave tlie camphicp plant of the text its commercial vaAie in the time of King Solomon; a type of my Lord Jesus, who beautifies, and adorns, and colors everything ha touches. I have no faith in that man's conversion whose religion dobs not coior his entire | life. It Was intended so to do. If a man ha* the grace of God in his heart it ought to show itself in the life. There ttught to be this ‘‘cluster Of eatftphire” in the ledger, in the ir<>!l Of Government securities, in the tnedical prescription, in the law.booh—A religion is of no value to a merchant unless it keeps him fromputting false labels ou his goods; or to the plasterer, unless it keeps him from putting up a ceiling which he knows will crack in six months; or to the driver, unless it keeps him from lash* • ing his horses to eight miles an hour when the thermometer is at ninety degrees; or to the farmer, unless it keeps him from putting the only sound pippijas on the top of the barrel; or Jo the shoemaker, unless it keeps him from substituting brown paper for good leather in the Roles. In other words, the religion of Christ is good fob every thing or it is good fur nothing. Tlie grace of GUd never affects tts by piecemeal-. If the heart is fchahgod the head is changed, and the liver is changed, and the Spleeh is Changed, and tlie. hands are chhnged, and the feet are changed, and the

stole is cnangeu, and the bouse is cnanged, and every thing over which tbe man has afty influence comes to a complete and radical change. The religion of the Lord Jestis Christ is not a pdt of hyacinth to be set in t harlot bay-window for passers-by to look at, an d to be examined only by ourselves when we have company; but it is to he a perfume ftlliug all j the room of the heart as “a cluster of campltire from the vineyards of Eu-gedi.” The trouble is men do not take their religion with them. The merchant leaves it outside the counter lest it disturb tile goods. The housekeeper will not let her religion trail its robes in the kitchen $>U washing-day. The philosopher will not let his religion come in amid the batteries lest it get a galvanic shock. But, 1 tell you, unless your religion goes with you everywhere, it goes nowhere. That religion was intended to color all the heart and the life. But, mark you, it was a, bright color, j For the most part it was an orange dye made of this campliire-plar t, one of the most brilliant of all the colors; and so the religion of Jesus Christ casts uo blackness or gloom upon the soul. It brightens up life; it brightens up everything. There is no more religion iii a funeral than there is in a wedding; uo wore' religion in tears than iu smiles. David was no better when he said he cried out out of the depths of hell, than he was when he said that bis mouth was Ailed with laughter and his tongue with singing. The b;st men that I have ever know n have laughed the loudest. Religion was intended to brighten up all our character. Take out the sprig of cypress from your coat and put in “a cluster of cawphire from the vineyards of Kn-gedi” Religion’s “ways are ways, of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.” I have found it so. There are hundreds in this house who have found it so. J I remaik again that the cikinpiiire-plant of the text was a symbol of Jesus Christ, because it is a mighty restorative. You know that there is nothing that starts respiration so soon in^ne who h ts fainted as camphor, as we have it. bn- upon a spouge or handkerchief, the > ff-cs are almost immediate. Well, this emephireplant of the text, though somewhat different from that which we have, was 4 pungent aromatic, and iu that respect it becomes a type of our Lord Jr.us Christ, who is the mightiest of all restoratives. I have carried this camphire-olant into the sickroom after the doctors had held their consultation and said there was no hope and nothing . more coul d be doue, and the soul brightened up under the spiritual restorative. There is no fever, no marasmus, no neuralgia, uo consumption, no disease of tbe body that the

nvv vavu ■ WWV ucip. X niBU lUHi over every bed of paiu and through every hospital of distress we might s«ing this “cluster of cainphite from the vineyards of En-gedi." Christ’^haud is the softest pillow, Christ’s pardon is the strongest stimulus, Christ’s comfort is the mightiest anodyne, Christ’s salvation is i ho grandest restorative. It makes a man mightier than his physical distress. Art thou weary? Art thou languid? Art thou sore distressed? “Come to me," salth one—‘and coming, be at rest." If 1 ask him to receive me, will lie sav me nay? Not till earth and not till heaven pass away. Finding, following, keeping, slrhgglipgris lie sure to bless? Saints, apostles, prophets, marlyrs.auswer— “Yes!” Nero tarred and put pitch upon the Christians of his day, and then set them on Hre, that ^hey mi h* illuminate the night round about .the palace; hut while they were burning and the • row I beneath were jeering, lou ter than all the noise went up the song el prise an 1 triumph from the dying martyrs. John R adford came out in the presence of the instrument ! of torture that was to pill Him to death and said: “1 ant a Christian now. I have never been before.’’ And so, again and •gain, the Lion of Judah’s tribe has torn to pieces the wild 1 easts of martyrdom. This grace is also a restorative tor the backslider. Who'do you mean by that? you say. 1 mean you who u<e l to frequent the house of Coil, hut seldom go there now; you who onue used to pray, but never pray now; you who once sat at to the holy communion, but take not the Lord's cup now; I mean vou who once rejoiced in Christian so. ie-y. 1 ut now sit amid scolTers. Uauksli lecj Oh, what a suggestive word ! Backslider! Kro n what have you slid back? You have slid back from your father’s f* iili, from your early good habits.

Oh, that Ike might cry out now: “Oolden 8abbatlks, come back! Communion seasons, coaie back! Wooings of the Holy Ghost, come back!” But they will not come. Gone! gone! gone I Sorrow will come, but not they. Oh, that yon might save the few remaining year* of your life and consecrate them to Christ! 1 have seeh shtl sights, t have heard tad soithds; bdt; i teli yon, the ghastliest thing outside the gates of the dmntted is a backslider’s death-bed. Do you not feel like having applied to yuur soul this divine prerogative? Do you not feel like crying out with David: “ReStobe unto roj the joys of Thy saltation?” for great sin, great pardon. For deep wounds, omnipotent surgery. For deaf ears, a divine aurist. For blind eyes, a heavenly oculist. For the dead in. sin, tha upheaval of a great resurrection. , But in the heavenly world we shall feel the ‘chief restorative power of religion. This is a planet of weeping we are living on. We enter upon life with a cry and leave it with a long sigh. If I could gather up the griefe of this audience and put them In one sentence, and then utter it, it would make every thing between here and the throne of God shudder and howl. The earth is gashed deep with graves. As at the close of the war, sometimes we saw a regiment of oue hundred and fifty men, the fragment of the thousand mentnat went out: so, as I stand before you 1 can not bnt realise the fact that you are the fragments representing hundreds of regiments of joy ful associations that have been broken up forever. C, this is a world of sorrow! But, blessed be God, there will be no sorrow in Heaven! The undertaker will have to have some other business there, lu the summer time our cities have bills of mortality which are frightful—sometimes in New York a thousand deaths in a week, sometimes it has been two thonsand in London; but in that great heavenly city there will be not a single case of sickness or death; uot one black dress Of mourning, but plenty of white {robes of joy; hand-shaking of welcome, but none of separation. Why, if onetrouble should attempt to enter Heaven, the shining police of the city would pat it under everlasting arrest. If ail the Sorrows of life, mailed and sWordbd udder Apollyon, shofild attempt to force that gate, one company from the tower would strike them back howling to the pit Room in Heaven for all the raptures that ever knocked at the gate, but no room for the smallest annoyance, though slight as a summer insect. Doxology, but no dirge; banqueting, but no “funeral baked meats.”

hu gmu Bb tin, no sickness at all; fio death at all, A soul trafeihg up in that place will say: “Can it be that I am here? Will my head never ache again? Shall I never stumble over a grave again? Will 1 never say good-by to loved ones again? Can it be possible that the stream is past; that the bank is gained; that the glory is begun? Show me Jesus that I may kiss his feet.” When the clock of Christian suffering haS rurt down, it will never be wound up again. Amid the vineyards of the heavenly Engedi; that will be restoration without any relapse; that will be day without any succeeding night; that will be “the saint's everlasting rest.” MARRIED IN JAIL. A Convict Wedded to a Once Jilted But True and Faithful Sweetheart. ! Chicago Herald ] Louis Bendit, riceutly sentenc'd to three years in the penitentiary for embezzling funds from N. K. Fairbanks & Co.,was yesterday the smiling bridegroom in a romantic marriage which took place in Jailor Folz* office at 11:30 in the forenoon. The bride was Miss Laura C. Bull, a discarded sweetheart of the convict, who gave place in the heart of Bendit to the more gushing Kobin Murry, an actress playing soubrette parts in theatrical companies. Soon after Beudit’s defalcation and flight to Canada Matt W. Pinkerton Was placed upon his track, and proceeding to Cleveland the detective found Robin, who was playing an engagement in that city, and telegraphing in her name brought Bendit to Detroit, where he was placed under arrest. Robin never knew that her name was being used to deceive her lover, and when he was brought back to Chicago in handcuffs she refused to desert him. Her uuele and guardian, Robert Nelson, used his influence to break up the attachment, and prevailed upon his niece to tuke back to Bendit all the little souvenirs of uu undying love which he had given her from time to time. About a week ago Robin acceded to her uncle’s request, and kindly returned to her conviot lover the jewelry and keepsakes that were his. Now appears upon the sceue the brideelect, who though once cast off for another, returns with her full complement of lore, and receives from Bendit’s hands the Itrio* a-brac and jewelry which had been the love offering to her rival. Robin paid a visit |to Bendit a few days ago, and as she was discussing the insurmountable barrier between them, Laura danced into the jail, wearing a smile and the jewelry. Robin took the hint and said farewell forever, while Laura arranged for the nuptials. Robin, whose real name is Maggie, will !>e remembered as a student at the Northwestern University in 1881-2, and a a pupil of Prof. Cumnock in elocution. There was an irony in fate when Bendit risked his liberty for Robin and married Laura. The bride and groom received their friends at Joliet on Friday.

A Valuable UKusonte Jewel. [Newark (N. J.) Special.) The finest and most valuable Masonic jewel of its sixe in the country has just been received by Past Grand Master William E. Pine, of this city. It was a present from the Priuce of Wales as Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. Mr. Pine, in December last, was appointed representative of the Grand Lodge of England to the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, snd this jewel was transmitted to him as the insignia of liisolMce. The jew si is of gold and enamel, in the form of a square and compass, and surmounted with, a coat-of-arms of the Prince. On our side is engraved the following inscription: '‘Representative of the Oral < Lodge of England at the Grand Lodge i f New Jersey.’* Voracity ur an Ugly Fish. (Cor. St. Louts Republican.] Senator Kenna tells a story whioh illustrates the voracity of the catfish. He says that on a certain fishing excursion up on New river, in West Virginia, one of the party caught thpe& flatfish, each several sixes larger than the other. As it happened, the largest was caught first, the next in sixe second, and the smallest last, and they were strung in that order and placed in the water. Upon removing the string it was found that the second Ash on the string had attempted to swallow his smaller brother, and while he was performing that feat the big fellow at the bottom was engaged in swallowing both the others. Kenua declares that auyone who Knows anything of the greediness of the cattish will readily believe this (lory. The Meauest Man la Ohio. I Boston Globe.)

MANAGEMENT OF BULLS. Vicious Animals Made So by the Brutality of Their Attendants. The idea that every bull is incorrigibly vicious, is not warranted by the facts. Kindness and firmness are as necessary in the management of bulls as in the case of any other animals. A writei says: In something like thirty years' experience of a short-horn herd, its which bulls were reared for sale, and into which sires were drafted from various herds, I have never known a vicious bull.if 1 except the following case, which goes to prove the truth of my contention. Ohe young bull was what I Chlleu a lively one, playful and simply needed that you kept your eye upon him when loose, or in his gambols he might have upset you. Once, when he was chafing at his strap, owing to flies, a visitor, a friend of the owner, struck him several blows with his stick, remarking that he needed correction. Had the bull been loose, the correction would have been reversed, for so long as the bull remained in the herd, whenever he heard tho voice or the footsteps of the * man who had struck him, he made desperate effort to release himself. In proof- that his rage was reserved for this one man, I may mention that one night a noise was heard in the farm-yard. One of the men went

uown, ana iouna me turn loose in the yard. He walked up to it, took it by the nose-ring, and led it as quietly as a lamb back to its stall. In mis herd the animals were always kindly but firmly treated, and kept m constant contact with human beings; up to a year old they were let out daily in the yard for exercise. Before being, ■old a ring was put in their nose, and they were bound up in a stall by a' leather strap round the neck, and affixed to a head stake, with a movable ring to the latter, regularly led out lor' exercise, and kept in touch with the human attendants. Whenever I hear of a vicious bull, I come to the conclusion that he has been badly trained in youth. Whenever I hear of a bull attacking a human being, I am convinced that he, is but repaying previous brutal treatment. When a cow kicks on being milked, she is either suffering from sore teats, or has been abused. Whenever a cow holds her milk, it is a sign that her attendant has ill-used her. Whenever I see a kicking, unmanageable or stupid horse, depend upon it that he has been in the hands of an incompetent breeder or trainer, or both. Either he has been unskillfully treated as a foal, or badly broken.—Scottish Agricultural Gazette. -r-- -J Pay as You Go. There are many good men,' with strictly honest intentions, whb allow themselves to practice a cert ain species selfish injustice, so pernicious in its jffects, that the injury they inflict upon >re especially Imost incalcuwho are dila- _ leir just debts—men not “pay as they go”—men, in who, for the sake of avoiding a inconvenience to themselves, or little iuterest on their money, do not~hesitate to inflict.upon their unhappy victims an amount of misery, from the idea of which they would recoil with shame did they but pause to estimate its enormity. It is a great aggravation of this offense that tne sufferers from it are usually the most needy and the most hard-working members of the community. The dilatory paymasters to whom we refer would do well tc ponder over St. Paul’s wiso counsel, “Owe no man any thing,” as well as upon John Randolph’s pithy advice, “fay as you go.”—$> J* ledger. '
