TALMAGE’S SERMON. A Homily on the Sour Portion of' Lilt's Hzperteooos.

The subject of a recent rermoii by Her. T. Oe WIU Talwage iu “Boor Experience,*'hU l«xt be In*: . . When Jmux therefore, had reeetred the vinegar.—John, six.. SX. Tbebrtguids of Jeruaalem had donfc their work- It «n almost sundown. and Jesus was dying. Persons In crucifixion often lingered on from day to day—cry* lug, begging, cursing; but Christ had been exhausted by years of maltreatment Pillowless, poorly fed, floggedas bent over and tied to a low post, His ■bare back was inflamed with the scourges, inlerstloed with pieces of lead and bone—and now for whole hours the weight of His body hung on delicate tendons, and. according to custom, a violent stroke under the arm-pits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, swooning, nnnsented,feverish—a world of agony is oompremed in the two words, "I thirst!" O skies of Judea, let a drop of rgin strike His burning tongue. O. world, with rolling rivers und sparkling lakes, and sparkling fountains, give Jesus something to drink. If there Is any pity In sarth or Heaven, or hell, let it now be demonstrated in behalf of this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of monSy with which they provided wine for those people who died la cruelflxkm—>a powerful opiate to deaden the pain; bat Christ would not take It He wanted to die sober, and so be refused the wine. But afterward they go to a cup of vinegar and soak n sponge,in it, and put it on n stick of hyssop, and then press it against the liet lip* of Christ. You say the wine wai an anesthetic, and intended to relieve or deaden the pain. But the vinegar was an insult ’I an disposed to adopt the theory of the old English commentators, srho believed that, instead of Its being an opiate to soothe, it was vinegar to tnsn'lt. Malaga and Burgundy for Grand Pokes and Duchesses, and costly wines from royal vats for bloated imperialists; but stinging acids for n dying Christ He look the vinegar. In seme lives the saccharine seems to predominate. Life is sunshine on a book of flowers. A thousand hands to clap approval! In December or in January, looking across their table, they see all their family present Health rubicund. Skies flamboyant Days resilient Bat in a great many cases there are not so many ingaru as acids. The annoyances, and the vexations, and the disappointments of life overpower the successes. There Is a gravel in almost every shoe. An Arabian legend says that there was a worm in Solomon's staff, gnawing its strength away; and there is a weak spot In every earthly support that a man leans on. King George of England forgot ail the grandeurs of his thrnns because, one dav, in an interview, Beau Brummet, called him by his first name,and addressed him as a servant, crying; “George, ring the bell!” Mias Langdon, honored all tbe world over for her poetical genius. Is so worried over the evil reports set afloat regarding her that she Is found dead, with au empty bottle of prussic acid ta her hand. Goldsmith said that his life was a wretched being, and all that want and contempt could bring lo il bad been brought, and cries out: "What, then, ia there formidable in a jail!" Correggio's fine painting la hung up for a tavern sign. P* Hogarth can not sell his heel painting, except through a raffle. Andrew Delsart makes the great fresco in the Church of the Annunciation, at Florence, and gets for pay a sack of corn; and there are annoyance and vexations in high places as well aa in low places, showing that la a--great many lives the soars are greater than tha sweets When Jesus, therefore, hsil received the vtn

•twit U absurd to suppose that n man who hay alwsy* ton well ran sympathise with those who are airk; or that one who tiae always been honored can appreciate the eorrows of thoae who are despised; or that one who hat been born to a great fortune can understand the distress and the straits of those who are destitute. The fact that Christ Himself took the viaegar makes Him able to sympathise today and forever with all those whose cup is tiled with sharp acids of this life. He took the vinegar I In the Brat place there Is tbs sourness of betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt Christ’s feeling* more than all the friendahip of His disciples did Him good. Ton have had many friends; bnt there was one friend apon' whom you |«it especial stress. Ton fe^tfffiL him. You loaned —MB You befriended him In the dark passes of life, whan he •specially needed a friend. Afterward, he tamed apon you, and he took Ml vantage of your former intimacies. He wrote against yog. He talked against yon. He mlcroscoplied your faults. He fluag contempt at you when yon ongbt to have received nothing bnt gratitude. At first you could not sleep at nights. Then '• ro« went about with a sense of having Been stung. That difficulty will never be healed, for, though mutual friends may arbitrate In the matter nntil you shall ahak* hands, the old cordiality will never to* hack. How, I commend to all such thesympathy of a betrayed Christ Why, they sold Him for less than our twenty dollars. They all forsook Him and fled. They cut Him to the quick. He drank that oup of betrayal to the dregs. He took the vinegar. There Is also the sourness of pain. There are some ot yon who have not seen n well day tor many years. By keeping out of draughts, and by carefully studying dietetics, you continue to this time; but oh. the headaches, and the Bideaches, and the backaches, and the heartache# which have been your accompaniment all the way through! You have struggled under a heavy mortgage of physical diaabtliUesj and instead of the placidity that once characterised you. It U now only with great effort that you keep away from Irritability and sharp retort. Difficulties of respiration, of digestion, of locomotion, make up the great obstacle in yonr life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway, and wonder when the exhaustion will end. My friends, the brightest ciowns in Heaven will not be given to those who; in stirrups, dashed »the cavalry charge, while the Ucueral pplauded, and the sound of clashing rang through the land; but the crowns in Heaven, I believe, U be'YAi”'- »® those who trudged on unid chronte'flUments which unnerved their strength, yefhi! the time mein taintug their ftdth in God. It is compare »<)! of martial jjkic; but H is i so easy to endurenea no one but the 1 the d^r are the witnesses of „ „ Hit ode. Besides that you never had any pains worse than Christ’s. The sharpness that stung through HU brain, through HU hands, through HU feet, through HU heart, were as great aa yours certainly. He was aa sick and as try. Hot a nerve, or muscle, or llga•t escaped. All the pangs of all the ions of all the ages compress* •our cup. He took the vinegflr hero U also the sourness of — r Income does not_. I that always give* an There U no sign of m riitniriTit appearance and a home for you; hut God only let a time you have had to msnprivato finances. Just aa the

Ilf* to you In * hard posh; and when yon •it down with jrggr wl(e and talk owr lh« expenses, yon both rise up discouraged. Ton abridge bm> aad you abridge there, and yoa get thing* snag for smooth sailtag. and lo! suddenly there to a large doctor** bill to pay, or yoa hare lo*t your pockstbook. or some creditor has failed, aad yoa are thrown abeam end. Well, brother, yon are In glorious company. Christ owned not the house In which He ■topped, or the oolt on which He rode, or the boat in which He sailed. He lived in a borrowed house; He was burled In a borrowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of weather, yet He had only one salt of clothes, Jfe breakfasted in the morning, and n<Mme could possibly tell where He mold get any thing to eat before night. He would ham been pronounced a financial failure. He had to perform a miracle to get money lo par a tax bill. Not a dollar did He own. Privation of domesticity; privation of nutritions food; privation of a comfortable couch on which to sleep; privation of atl worldly resources. The king* of tbs earth had chased chalicee out of which to drink, bat Christ had nothing but a plain cap set before Him, and It was very sharp, and it was very sour. He took the vinegar. There also is the sourness of bereavement. There were years that passed along before yonr family circle was Invadcd by death; but the moment the charmed circle was broken every thing seemed to dissolve. Hardly have you put the black apparel In the wurdrobe before you have again to take it out. Great and rapid change* in your family record. You got the house and rejoiced In It, but the charm was gone as soon as. the crape bang on the door-bell. The one upon

whom run most depended ni warn away from you. A cold marble (lab lie* on your heart to-day. Once, a* the children romped through the house, you put your hand over your aching head and said: *4Oh, if I could only hare It (till." Ob, It is too (till now. You lost your patience when the ’ tope aud the strings and the sheila were left amid the floor, but oh, yon would be willing to have the trinkets scattered all over the floor again, if they were scattered by the same hands. With what a ruthless plow-share bereavement ripe up the heart. But Jesus knows all about that. You ran not tell 111m any thing in regard to bereavement He had only n few friends, and when ne lost one It brought tears to His eyes. Laxaru* had often entertained Him at hts house. Now lisxants Is dead and buried, and Christ breaks down with emotion—the convulsion of grief shuddering through all the ages of bereavement. Christ, knows wbat It is to go throngh the bouse missing a familiar inmate. Christ knows what it it to see an unoccupied' place at the table. Were there not four of them— Mary, and Martha, and Christ, and Laxarus? Four of them. But where is tjus rust Lonely and afflicted Christ, Hts great lovtng eves fllled with tears, whtrh drop from eye to cheek, and from cheek to heard, and from heard to rob*, and from robe to floor. Oh, yea, yea. He knows all about the loneliness and the heartbreak. H e took the vinegar! Then there is the sourness of the death hour. Whatever else we may escape, that acid sponge will be pressed to our lips. I sometimes have a curiosity to know how T will behave when I come tonic. Whether 1 will be calm or excited; whether 1 will be fllled with reminiscences oi with anticipation. I can not say. But come to the point. 1 must and you must. In the six thousand years that have passed, only two persons have got Into the eternal world without death, and I do not suppose that God U going to send a carriage for us with horses of flame, to draw us up the steeps of Heaven; but I suppose we will have to go like the preceding generations. An offleer of the future world will knock at the door of our heart and serve on tls the writ of elertraent, and we will have to surrender. And we will wake up after these autumnal, end wintry, and vernal, and summery glories have vanished from our vision—we wtll wake up into a realm which has only one season, and that the season of everlasting love. But you say; "1 don't want to break out from my present associations. It Is so chilly and so damp to go down the stairs of that vault. 1 don't want any thing drawn so tightly over my eyes. If there were only some way of breaking through the partition between worlds without tearing this body all to threads. I wonder if the surgeons and the doctors can not compound a mixture by which this body and soul can all the time be kept together? Is there no escape from the separation?" None; absolutely none. 8o I look over this audience to-day—the vast majority of you seeming in good health and spirits —and yet I realise that tn a short time all of ns will be gone—gone from earth and gone forever. A great many men tumble through the gates of the future, as it were, and we do not know where they have gone, and they only add gloom and mystery to the passage; hot Jesus Christ so mightily stormed the gates of that future world that they have never since been elotelv that. Christ knows what it is to leave this world, of the beauty of which He was More appreciative that we ever could be. He knows the exqulsiteneju^L the 1 1 -Minri n cnrsi

When you have a trouble of any kind, you rush Otis way, sad that way; and you wonder what this man will say about It, and what that man will say nboutit; and you try this prescription, and that prescription, and the other prescription. O, why do you not go straight to the heart of Christ, knowing that foe our own sinning and suffering race. Be too* the vinegar! There was a vessel that had been tossed on the sans for a great many weeks and been disabled, and the supply of water gave out, and the crew were dying of thirst. After many days they saw a sail ■gainst the sky. They signaled it. When the vessel came nearer the people on the ■offering ship cried to the captain of the other vessel: lark of water." And fte captain on the vessel that was tailed responded: “Dip your buckets where you are. pro tn the mouth of the Amaaon there are eoores of miles of fresh all around about you, and hundreds of feet deep.” i are.

Yet, mjr uttaranoe U almost choked ah the thought tint there ere people here who will ref us* this divine sympathy, end they wUl try to fight their own battles, end drink their own vtnegar, and oerry their own burdens; end their life, instead of being e triumphal march from viotory to Tictory, will be a hob Mine-on from defeat to deftiet, until they make final sarrender to iretributlve disaster. - O, I wish 1 oonld to-day gather up in mine arms ell the wees of men usd women—all their heartaches—ell their disappointments—all thei r chagrins—and Just take them right to the feet of a sympathising /tone He tool; the vinegar. Nana Sahib, after he had loet his last battle in India, fell back into the jangles of Uteri—j angles so full of malaria that no mortal can lire there. He carried with him also a ruby of great luster and of great value. He died in thoee jungles; his body was never found and the ruby has never yet baen recovered. And 1 fear that to-day thei’e are some who will tall back from tbj* subject Into the sickening, killing jangles of their sin, carrying a gem of infinite value—a priceless soul—to be loet forever. O, that that ruby might flash In the eternal coronation. But no. There are some, I fear, in the audienoe, who turn away from this offered mercy and ODmfort and Divine sympathy, notwithstanding that Christ, for all who would accept His grac e, trudged the long way and suffered the lacerating thongs and received In His face the expectorations of the filthy mob, and tor the guilty, and the discouraged, and the discomforted of the race, took the vinegar. Hay God Almighty break the Infatuation and lead you out into the strong hope, and the good cheer, and the glorious sunshine of this triumphant Obspel.

ONE WOMAN'S WORK. 11m Heroic Count*# Displayed by a Settle ttMbaa Lady. The entrance <to Havana harbor ia guarded by Moro Castle occupied by a garrison of about two hundred men. Several years ago the heat became very latenae, and all the inhabitants of the region were stricken with fear of the yellow fever, Havana’a deadliest soourge. At length news was received that (he disease had actually broken out at the castle, and the authorities decided that the garrison must be cut elf from communication with those outside. Day by day the heat grew more intense, and the signal of distress waived in vain from the caaUe’s flagstaff. The inmates were known to be in terrible need of food and medicine, yet no one dared btave infection ao tar as to go to their relief. At suntet each day crowds gathered upon the piers to watch the funeral processions wind down the hill to the garrison cemetery. The accompanying salutes told the number which had succumbed thus far to the plague, and it was known that the poor fellows were dying by the neon. One morning the heat was more intense then ever, end the waters of the bey shone like burnished uteel. All Havana seemed to be gathered on the pier to wntch the spot where deeth reigned triumphant. Suddenly a bout, loaded with provisions and medicine, began its progress toward the castle. Its note occupant was a woman. A loud shout arose from those on shore. Ashamed of their delay, many offered themselves as volunteers, but the messenger of mercy refused. She stopped only long enough to say: “Ism alone. From alt Havana not ono. regret will follow me. It Is belter that 1 should go than some one upon whom others depend. Good-bye!" Then she bent to the oars, and only stopped, exhauntei, when she was beneath the rastie wall)*. Tbosq watching her could see that the brave follows at the garrison nt first refused her admission, but nt length their fnlnt resistance ceased, and they carried her inside the plague-smitten walla As the days passed, the number of salutes over the doad' dimioished, and then one morning, when a cool breeae came from the north, the signal of distress wss lowered, and again the Spanish flag floated proudly over the castle. Instantly the bay was dotted witb boats, for all Havana wished to visit the garrison andtoongratulste those who remained alive. There they learned that beyond a doubt not one life would hare been preserved, had It not been for the timely relief offered by one breve woman. The story is made even more deltghful by a bit of romance at the end, for (hr- noble nurse not only became the idol of Havana, but the wife of the Governor of the castle. Doubtless he had learned to know her well during their terrible lmprluoument— 1'ouUi's Coiupanfcm. SPECTRAL ANALYSIS!

USEFUL. AND SUGGESTIVE, j —When out of machine oil use ken* | •one and fresh lard, equal parts, well rolled, and It will answer the purpose. —Pressed Eggs.—Eight eggs, boiled hard, and while hot chopped with salt and a lump of butter the size of a walnut Press into a deep dish anil serve cold. —Maple Cookies.—One cup butter, one cup white sugar, two cups mafic syrup or sugar, two small teaspoons of soda dissolved in one cup warm water. Mix soft, roll thin, and hake in a quick oven. —Cherry pie.—Stone the cherries, line a piepan with crust, fill with cherries, spread over with bits of butter, sprinkle with a large coffee-cup of j suirar. cover with a thin umx r crust 1

nod bako done. —For corn cakes without milk or soda. put a pinch of salt into a cupful oi corn meal, then scald; add the yelks of three eggs and one tablespoonful of flour; beat together and thin with cold waiter. After beating the whites of th« eggs very stiff, fold them into the mixture gently, and bake. —Cream Pudding.—One quirt sour cream, one pint stonod raisins, one cup each of currants and chopped citron, six eggs well beaten, one nutmeg, one teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of soda, j two cups of brown sugar, flour to make j a stiff batter, boil steadily one and a half hours Serve with sauce. . —It Is said there is no better or simpler way of testing suspected wa ter than the following: Fill a clean pint bottle nearly full of the water to be tested, and dissolve in it half a teaspeonful of j loaf or granulated sugar. Cork the | bottle and keep it In a warm place two , days. I| the water becomes cloudy or ! milky within forty-eight hours it is un- j fit for domestic use.—Laws of Life. —Vermont Pudding.—Cock two- ; thirds of a cupful of rioe in a quart of milk until it is soft. Then add a cupful; of cream, a piece of butter the sbte of a i small egg, one-half a cupful of milk, a j cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt, a small \ cupful of raisins and one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon. Bako slowly about two hours. This can be made with j milk Instead of cream, but more butter j must be used. Some like it .better if i the cinnamon is omitted.—Good Housekeeping. Lemon Juice that will Keep.—Squeeze the juice into a basin, then strain it off, perfectly free from the least pulp or pith. Have ready some perfectly clean and dry bottles, fill them just up to the shoulder, then add sufficient sweet oil to cover the top of the lemon juice entirely. Cork the bottles tightly, and keep them upright in a cool place. The bottles must be small, (medicine phials are best), because "when the oil is removed, the lemon juice does not keep long. The peel also will keep if dried and kept from the dust, nnd hi quite as good to grate. —For Renovating BlackCastimerc, etc. —Takoone ounce extract of logwood and dissolve in ten or twelve quarts of water, boiling hot: add one tablespoonful of sal soda, the same amount of soft soap; stir well and skim. If material is very much soiled add more soap; but I think a better way is to go carefully over the goods and extract tho grease with strong ammonia water; it will not then bo likely to requ ire an additional quantity of soup.. Put goods in water and let them remain, one-half hour, stirring and lifting the while, then wash through the suds and hang up (no- rinsing needed); be su re and not wring material, merely press water out and lot drip. Iron on wrong side with moderately hot iron while still damp.

FOR APICULTURI8T& How to Procaro straight Comb* Without the Vm of Foundation. This is one of tho first difficulties that the beginner in bee culture will meet with, if he has not some ftenrl hook to refer to, iu»d ever, stuneof these only tell how todji«Koy using comb foundati°n■ J^fcolieve 1 have never seen an Stfiwe in any book or journal which told how straight combs could bo secured without the use of foundation. Although it is the best and cheapest in the long run, it is not every beginner who has the money to invest, or wishes to purchase the article, therefore the question arises how to get along without it. The plan which I am aliout to give to the reader was given to me by a brother bee-keeper. I have since -verified it to my satisfaction. When hiving a swarm, if you hare already a movable frame hive containing straight combs, take out one, or bettor, two combs, replacing them with empty frames or division boards, Insert these frames in the now hive which tho swarm is to occupy, putting them near the center, with an empty frame between them. The bees will cluster on these two frames of brood, and will be sura to commence work on the frame between them first, and having a strai ght wall on each side will be almost certain to build it straight. If honey is plentiful this frame will soon have a straight comb started along its top bar, but should they build any side combs remove them. Now part these frames and put two more empty frames between, leaving the frame with the newly-made comb in the center, an empty one on each side of it, and the two finished have frames containing full oombes on the outside of these. Continue in this way until all the frames have a small straight comb started along under their top bar, after which very little attention will be necessary to insure straight combs. Until then be ever attentive, not alloiring them to work more than two or three days without examining them, and cutting off all combs that may be started where you do not want them. You can get along with one full frame of comb to start with, or even without any, but in that case you must be vigilant and never allow the bees to start building the combs crosswise of the frames. Some beginners seem to think that all they have to do is to put the bees in the hive, in the belief that hey will know The result is, movable frame how to manage things, the bee-keeper has hive in which the frame are not movable after being filled with oombs. I know of a case of this Kind just across the river from here. Bees, if allowed to have their own way in frames not having foundation starters, are, I think, just as likely to build crosswise as lengthwise of the frames. With a little experience in this way, Uie beginner will soon have no trouble baas straight as can be I can show in my apiary. I We have had tbs
