TALMAGETS SERMON. MWommn’» Opportunity’’-Thoaghta Suggested By Zta Study. n* Homo the Benlm Wherein She Reigns—Mnsenllne Women end K Vein Innte Mon Discussed In Their Dome.tic Relntlonn.

{ Rot. T. Ih> Wit* Talmage took for tbe subject of h!**lxth sermon st “Tbe Hamptons” “Woman** Opportunity,” his text being: KoGoit crested man in hU own Image. In tbe image of God crested be him: male and female created be them.—Genesis L, #7.: In other words, God, who can make no mistake, made man and woman for a specific work, and to more In particular spheres- man to be regnant in his realm, woman to be dominant in hers. The boundary line between Italy and Switserlsnd, between England and Scotland, is hot more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculine and 4 the empire feminine. So entirely, dissimilar are tbe fields to which God called them that yoti can no more compare them than yon can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the su|>erifirity of.one sex to the other Rex is an everlasting waste of ink and speech. A jeweler may have a scale so delk-ate that he can weigh the dust of diamonds, bat where are the scales so delicate that yon can weigh them in affection against affectoin, sentiment against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a man’s world against a woman’s world? You come out with your stereotyped remark, the man is superior to woman lu Intellect; and then I open on my desk the swarthy. Iron-typed, thunder-bolted writings of Harriet Martineau, and Klixabeth Browning, and George Eliot. You come on with your stereotvjied remark nliout woman’s superiority to man in the item of afTection, but I ask yob where was there more capacity to love than in John, tbe djsriple, and Jioliert McCheyne, the Scotchman, and John Kummerfleld, the Methodist, and Henry Martin, the missionary. The hearts of those men were so large, that after you had relied into "them two hemisphere*,. there was room still left to marshal the hosts of Heaven and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intellectual. I deny to woman tbejhrone affectional. No human phraseology wi'l ever define the spheres, while thern is an intuition by which we know when a roan is < in his realm, and when a woman is in her realm, and when either of them is out of it. No bungling legislature ought to attempt to make a definition or to say: •“This is the line and that is the line.” » - C’ My theory Is that if a woman wants to vote she might to vote, ami tha* if p inan , wants to embroider ami keep house he ought to bo allowed to embroider and keep house. There are masonline women aw^ effeminate men. My theory is that yon have no right to interfere with any one’s doing any thing that is righteous. Allan v and Washington might as well decjree bv legislation how high a brownthrasher should fly, or how deep a trout should swim, as to try to seek out the height or the depth of a woman’s duty. The question of rapacity will settle filially the whole question, the whole subject- When a Woman is pre|>ared to preach, she will tweach. and neither conference nor presbytery con binder her. When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial spheres she will have gnat influence on the exchange, and no boards of trade can hinder heE I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any barrier that politicians may set up, and that nothing can kfeep her back or keep her down but the question of inca|acity. . There are women, I know, of most unde* Sirable nature; who wander up and d'1" n the country—having no homes of their own, or forsaking their ow n homes—talking alamt their rights, ami we know verywell that they themselves are lit neither to vide nor to keep house. Their mission seems to W to humiliate the two sex-s at ^ the thought of what ahy of »> might become. Tto one would want to live under the laws that such women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that sm-h a woman would raise. But I shall show, you this morning that tbe best rights that woman ran own she already has In her possession: that her |iomtion in this country at this time Is not one of commiseration, but one of congratulation: that- tire grandeur and |s.wer of her realm have never yet less appreciated; that she sits to-day on a throne no.hfgli _ that all the thrones of earth piled on top of each other would not make for her a footstool. Here is tbe piatfotm on which she stands. Away down below it are the ballot-box and the congressional assemblage and the legislative ball. Women atw ays have voted and always will vote. Our great-grandfathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential chair. No. His mother, by the principles she taught him, and by the habit- she iucalcated made biin President. It was a Christian mother’s hand dropping the ballot when lewd Bacon Wrote, and Newton philosophised, ami Alfred the Great governed, and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men then-, have he*u m high political station who would have been insufficient to stand the test to which their moral principle m as put had it not lieen for a wife's voire that encouraged them to do right, and a wife's prayer that sounded loader than the clamor of partisanship? Why, my friends, tbe right of suffrage, as' we men exercise It, seems to be a feeble thing. You, a Christian man, come up to the ballot-box and you drop veur vote. Right after you comes a libertine. or sot—the offscouring of tbe street—and he drops his vote; and . his vote counteracts yours. But if in the quiet of home life a daughter by her Christian demeanor, a wife by her industry, a mother by her faithfulness, casts a vote in th • right direction, then nothing can reset It, and the influence of that vote • m ill tbiob through the eternities. My chief auxiety then, is net that woman have other rights accorded her, but that sh-, by the grate of God. rise up to the appreciation of the glorious rights she already possessen. This morning 1 shall only have time to speak of one grand and all-absorbing right that every woman has. and that is to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night, and they tarry a comparutirely little While; but she all day long governs it, beautifies it, sanctifies it. It is within her power to make it the most attractive place oa earth. It is the only calm harbor in this outside world, and the business world is a long scene of jostle and contention. The null who has a dollar struggles to keep it; the man who has it sot struggles to get I*. Prices up, prices down, losses, gains, misrepresentations, gong- ’ logs. underselling. buyers’ depreciating, salesmen exaggerating, tenants seeking less rent, landlords demanding more, gold fidgety, struggles about office, men who are in trying to keep in, men out trying to get in, slips, tumble*, defalcation*. panics, catastrophes. O woman! thank God you have home, and that yon

Bfltw be linn than wear Victoria’* coronet. Better bethere than carry the purse of Bpriont*. Your abode may behainble, but •jot can. by yoar faith In God. and .your chr-rfuluevs of demeanor, gild it with splendors »«ck a* an upholsterer’* hand never yet kindled. There are abode* in the city—humble, two stories; four plain. - ani-apered room*: undesirable neighborhood; and yet there is a. man here this morning who would die on that threshold rather than surrender it- Why? . It is home. Whenever he thinks of it, he sees ugeb of God hovering around it. The ladders of Heaven are let down to that house. Over the child’s rough crib then? are the chaatings of angels, as those that broke over Bethlehem. It is home. These children may come up after awhile, aad they may win high position, and they Mv have an afllaent residence; hut they will not until their dying day forget that huathle roof under which their father sisters played. O, if you wooki gather up all tender memories, and the lights and shades of the heart. t» banqueting* and reunion*, nil filial, fraternal, paternal and pajugal affection*, and you had only Just

four letton with which to tpell out that height and depth, and length, and breadth, and magnitude, and eternity of meaning, yon would, with streaming eyea, and trembling voices, and agitated hand, write it out in thoae four liring capitals, home. What right does woman want that it grander,.than to be queen in such a realm? Whr, the eaglet of Heaven can not By across that dominion. Horses, panting and with lathered flanks, are not swift enough to run to the outpost of that realm. They say that the sun never sets upon the English empire; but I have to tell you that on this realm of woman’s influence eternity never marks any bound. Isabella fled* frum the Spanish throne pursued by the nation’s anathema; but she who is queen in a home will never lose her throne, and death itself will only be the annexation of heayenlr principalities. When you want to get your grandest idea of a queen, you do not think of Catherine of Russia, or Anne of England, or Marie Thersa of Germany; but when you want to get your grandest idea of a queen, you think of the plain > woman who sat

opposite your iainer ai iue or naut'i witU him arm in arm down life’s pathway; sometimes to the thanksgiving lumquet, sometimes to the grave, hut alwaysto-gether—-soothing yonr petty griefs, correcting vour childish waywardness, Joining in your infantile sports, listening to your evening prayers, toiling for you with needle- or at the spinning-wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you up snug and warm. And then at last on that day when she lay in the hack room dying, and you saw her take those thin hands with which she toiled for you so long, and put them together in a dying prayer that commended you to the Mod whom she taught you to trust—(>, she was the queen! The chariots of Mod came down to fetch her; a..as she went in all heaven rose up. You can not think of her now without a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep foundations of your soul, and you feel as much a child again as when you cried on her lnp: and If you could bring her back again to s|ieak just onco more yonr name, as tonderly as she used to sjteak it, yon would lie willing to throw yourself on the ground and kiss the eod that covers her, crying, “Mother! mother!” Ah, she was the queeu—she was the queen. Now, can you tell me how many thousand miles a woman like that would have to travel down hefore she got to the liallot-box? Compared with this work of training kings and queens for Mod and eternity, how insignificant seems all this work of voting for aldermen, and common councilmen, and sheriffs, and constables, aud mayors, and presidents. To make such? a grand woman as 1 have described, now many thousands would you want of those people who go in the round of godlessness, and fashion, and dissipation, distorting their body until in their monstrosities they seem to outdo the dromedary and hippopotamus! going as far toward disgraceful apparel as they dare go, so as not to lie arrested of the police—their behaviour a sorrow to the good and a caricature of the vicious, and an insult to that Mod who made them women and not gorgons; and tramping on. down through a frivolous and dissipated life, to temporal and eternal damnation. O, woman, with the lightning of your, soul, strike dead at your feet all these allurements to dissipation ami to fashion. Your immortal soul can not be fed upon such garbage. Mod calls you up to empire and dominion. Will you have it? O, give to MOd your heart; give to Mod your best energies: give to Mod all your culture, give to Mod all your refinement: give yourself to him for this world and the next. Boon all these bright eyes will be quenched, and these voices will be hashed. For the last time von will look upon this fair earth. Father's hand, mother's hand, sister’s hand, child's band will be no more in vours. It will be nighti, and there’will come up a cold wind from the Jordan, and you must start. Will it lie a lone woman on n trackless moon? Ah, no. Jesns will corns up in that hour and offer his band, and he will say: “You stood by me when yon were well; now 1 will not desert you when you are sick.” One ware of His hand, and the storm will drop; and another wave of His hand, and midnight shall break into midnoon; and another w are of His hand, and the chamberlains of Mod will come down from the treasure houses of Heaven, with robes lustrous, ‘ 1>|.»>l-wn-ht-d and Heaven-glinted.in whief von will array yourself for the marriage supper of the lamb. And then with Miriam, who struck the timbrel of tbe Red Sea; and with Deborah, who led the Lord’s host into flight: and with Hannah, who gave her Samuel to the Lord; and with Mary, who rocked Jesus to sleep while there were angels singing in the air; and with Florence Nightingale, who bound up the battle wounds of the Crimea, you will from the chalice of M-sJadrink to the soul’s eternal rescue. ~ One twilight, after I had lieen playing with the children ^ir some time, I laid down on the lounge to rest. The children said: “Flay more.” Children always want to play more. And, half asleep aud half awake, I seemed to dream this dream: It seemed to me that 1 was in a far-distant land—not Fersia, although more than oriental luxuriance crowned the cities: nor the tropics—although more than tropical, fruitfulness filled the gardens: nor Italy—although more than Italian softness filled the air. And I wandered around, looking for thorns and nettles, but I found none of thenfg grew there. And 1 walked forth and I saw the snn rise, and I said: “IVben will it set again?” and the sun sank not. And I saw all the people in holiday apparel, and I said: “When will they put on workingman’s garb agaiu, and delve in the mine, add swelter at tbe forge?” But neither the garments nor the rubes did they put off. And 1 wandered in the suburbs, and said: “Where do they bury the dead of this great city?” and I looked along by the hills where it would be most beautiful for the dead to sleep, and I saw castles, and towns and battlements; but not a mausoleum, nor monument, nor white slab could 1 see. And I went into the great chape! of the town, and I said: “Where do the poor warship ? where are the benches on which they sit?” and a voice answered: “We have no poor in this great city.” And 1 wandered out, seeking to find the place where were the hovels of the destitute; and I found mansions of amber, and ivory, and gold, but | no tear did 1 tee or sigh hear. I was bewildered; and I sat under the shadow of a great tree, ansi I said: “What am I, and whence comes all this?” Ami at that moment there came from among the leaves skipping up the Bowery paths aad across the sparkling waters a very bright and sparkling group; and when I saw their step I knew it. and when I heard their voices 1 thought 1 knew them: hut their apparel was so different from any thing I had ever seen, I bowed a stranger to strangers. But after awhile, when they clapped their hands and shouted: “Welcome! welcome!” the mystery was .- olved, and I saw that time had passed, and that eternity bgd come, and that Mod-had gathered ns up into a higher home; and I said: “Are we all here?’' aad the voices of innumerable generations answered: “AU here:” and while tenrs of gladness were raining down oar cheeks mad the branches of tbe Lebanon cedars were clapping their hands and the towers of the great city were chiming their welcome, we began to langh, and sing, aad leafs end shout: “Home! Home! Home!” Then I felt a child’s hand on my face, aad it woke me. The children wanted to play more. Children always wan* to play

The farmer's wife often complains that her hens will not lay. The reason is they get all the corn they want and are too fat.

The colder the water is the greater the capacity to contain these gases. At the ordinary temperature a pail of water will absorb a pint at carbonic acid gas and several piuts of ammonia. The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to the temperature of ice. Hence, w-ater kept in a room for a while is unfit for use.

RUST IN WHEAT. A DmtrartlY* Fupi Which Pimn Through Throe DUtlnrt Agee. The disease known ns rust in wheat ami oats is caused by a fungus called PucciHia gramiais, which has a most interesting history. Just as truly as the oodlingmoth live during part of its life as a larva in the apple, a second part its pupa under the bark near the base of the tire, and the third adult stage as a ■nature moth with wings, so does this rust hare three distinct stages. The black rust stage is the mature stage in which the black spores are produced that survive the winter in the straw or i stubble of wheat, oats or some other grass plants. In the spring these resting spores in some way get upon the leaves of barberry (very probably on some more common plants also) and germinate, < producing what is known as the cluster cups on that shrub. The cup-like formations on the surface of the barberry leaf am full of minute spores which are carried by the winds, some reaching the grain. These spores lodge on the rough surface* of the blades and stems of the wheat or oats and begin growth by sending oat a very minute and thread-like mycelium, as it is called, which penetrates the plant and grows through the tissue, multiplying very rapidly. When the grain is nearly ripe the mycelium produces yellowish spores near the surface of th$ leaves and stems, which break through and stand out over the plant, often making it look a reddish yellow and covering the hands and elothes of those binding it by hand before the dew is off in the morning. These spores fall to other parts of the plant and grow, thus aiding the rapid multiplication of the thread-like mycelium in filling the plant tissues. The third or adult stage differs mainly in tile kind of spores produced over the surface of the plant They are Mack, instead of reddish or yellow. They can be seen in rows along the stem or leaves of ripe grain, or stubble in fields that were infested. These black spores are more dense than those produced in the second or “red stage,” and are calculated to live through the winter and start a new generation by first living in the cluster-cup stage in the leaves of the barberry. The fact that the field of wheat was infested this year goes to show that there was barberry or other plants upon which the rust can pass its first stage. The present knowledge of this fungus is. not clear enough to enable one to determine how certainly it will reappear after having infested a field. Unless wheat is by far the most profitable, corn or some other paving crop should be grown next year. The rust is said to work most rapidly in moist, warm weather, and the amount of damage done will depend greatly on the kind of seasou.—Prairie fainter, w

A MATHEMATICAL WASP. ___ Hew It RucmdN In Disposing oir e lairge Whtte-Bodled Spider. While sitting one summer day at the side of the house on a platform which serred its a piaza, but was roofe<l; only by the branches of two large trees, something dropped upon my head and rolled into my tap, when I saw a large white-bodied spider in the clutches of a small wasp, writes a correspondent of the Owl. Hastily brushing these unceremonious visitors on to the floor, rwatched to see if the wasrp would succeed in flying away with his huge enemy. After a struggle the spider lay quiet, and the wasp ran around seizing first one part, then another, bat finally went away, as I supposed, for help. In about a quarter of an hour he returned, still alone, and began trying again; as I thought, to lint? some place by which he could seize the round body and carry it away. Again he departed without his spider. This time I watched him and saw him disappear at the edg%of the lawn under a pear tree, and, following, found him, after some searching, diligently at work with another wasp enlarging a hale in the ground, having already thrown out quite a little mound of earth. I returned to the piazza, and soon, when the wasp came back, 1 was convinced, bymore careful watching, that he was measuring each part of the spider'll' body' instead of trying to get hold of it The antennae seemed to be the organs mostly employed in this operation. When he vrent home again I was before him, and saw him meet his co-worker, put his head close to his, and evidently inform him thut the doorway was not yet big enough, for they fell busily at work enlarging it. Tbett more measuring, mom digging, until after three long hours he returned, this time with his friend, and they carried away their prey and bestowed it in their underground home.

Sis Well-Trained Turtle*. Turtles can be tamed and taught tricks. A boy in Brookfield, Conn., had six of them In a tub filled from a well. He fed them daily, and they soon become used to the little fellow’s call. He kept a float upon the surface of the water, upon which be placed food. Upon bis call they would in turn crawl upon the float and set a morsel of food, and oftentimes take it from his haud. He taught them to march around the outside of the tub, and each one took the tame place every time. They would also go around the tub and carry a match in their mouths. Unfortunately a mink risited the tub and killed the turtles. Oar American Monte Carlos. Europe, says the 8‘.
