The cruel army of the Philistines most V taken and scattered. There is Just one man. accompanied bp his body guard, to do that thing. Jonathan is the hero of the scene. I know that Darid cracked the nkull of the giant with n tew pebbles well along, and that three hundred Oldeonltes ncaltered ten thousand Amalekites bp the crash of broken crockery: but here is a more wonderful conflict Yonder are the Philistines on the rocks. Here in’Jonathan with his body guard in the rallep. On the one side is a rock ratio 1 B >*ei. on the other side is a rock called 8eneh. These two were as famous in olden times as In modern times are Plymouth Rock and Gibraltar. They were precipitous, unscalable and shat ( . _ Between these two rocks Jonathan must make his asoeut The day comes for the scaling ot ih« height Jonuthan, on his hands and feat begins the ascent With strain and slip and,braise, 1 suppose, but still on and up, flrpt goes Jonathan, and thon goes his body guard, Boxes on one side.

I suppose that the overbs tag and overshadowing rooks on eltl side did not balk or dishearten Jons or his bodjr guard, bat oaljr roused as filled them with enthusiasm as they wet up.

There was a sharp rock on the onr tide, and a sharp rock on the other aide.

He sat down for a little while under the grim shallow ‘of the rook Roses; yet he soon rose and began, like Jonathan, to climb. But how often It is that physical ailment comes with financial embarrassment. When the fortune tailled it broke the man's spirit. His nerres were shattered. His brain was stunned. I can show you hundreds of men in New York whose fortune and health failed at -the same time. Their hand trembled with incipient paralysis. They never ssw a well day since the hour when they called their creditors together for a compromise. If sneh men are lotpatient, and peculiar, and irritable, excuse them. They had two troubles, either one of which they could hare met success firlly. If, when the health went, the fortune had been retained. It wonid not hare been so bad. The man could have bought the very best medical advice, and Ste'raiM have had the very best attend

Ml'S*, Mid long I in** of carriages would hare stopped at the front door to inquire as to his welfare. Bat poverty on the one side, and sickness on the other, are Dates and Bench,and they interlock their shadows and drop them upon the poor min’s way. God help him! There ta a sharp rock OB the one side sad a sharp to k oa the other side. Mew, what is inch a man to dof In the name of Almighty God. I will tell him what to do. Go as Jonathan did—climb; climb np into the sunlight of God's favor and consolation. 1 can go through the churches and show you men who lost fortune and health at the same time, and yet who sing all day and dream of Heaven all night If you haw atj-lilca that sound digestion, and steady n rv *, and clear eyesight, and good bearing, and twenty of Mends, are necetsary to mak'tn man happy, you have miscalculated 7 suppose that these overhanging.-locks only. made Jonathan scramble the barder and! tho faster to get up and out into the sunlight; and this corob’-ed shadow of inealltdism and financial embarrassment hau often sent a man up the quicker into tho sunlight of God’s favor and the noonday of his glorious promises. It is n difficult thing for a man to feel his dependence upon God when he ha* tan thousand dollars in the bank and fifty thousand doillnrs in Government securities, and a Mock of stores and three ships. "Well,” the man says to himself, "it Is silty for me to pray *Give me this day my dally bread’ when my pantry is full and the canals from the West are crowded with breadstuff* destined for my store ho lists " Oh, my friends, if the combined misfortune* and disaster* of life have i you climb op into tho arms of a tym- " IMfi* pathetic and compass tomato God, through nil stern Uy yon will bleu Him that in this

John Milton—treat and good John Milton—so forgot himself as to pray, in so many words, that his enemies might be eternally thrown down into the darkest and deepest golf of hell, and be the undermost and Blest dejected and the lowest down Tassels of perdition! And Martin Lather so far forgot himself as to say, in .regard to his theological opponents: “Put them in whatever sauce yon please, roasted, or fried, or baked, or stewed, or boiled, or hashed," they are nothinsr but nssos.M Ah, ray friends, if John Milton or 'Mar(in Luther could come dowu to such scurrility, what may you not erpict from less elevate 1 opponent*? N>w, the world sometimes takes after them; tin newspaper* lakes after them; nubile opinion takes after them; and th» u ifo' tunate man is lied about until all the dictionary of BiUinsgnte is exhausts 1 on him. Ton often see s man whom you know to be good, and pare, and honest, set upon by the world and mauled by whole communities. while ricious men take on a supercilious air In condemnation of him; ns though Lord Jeffreys should write an essay on gentleness, or Henry VIII. talk about purity, or Herod take to blessing little children. Now n certain nmonnt of persecution rouses n man’s defiance. stirs his blood for magnificent battle and makes him fifty times more a man than h* would have been without the persecution!

Witipnt mentioning nnmhs, I speak from observation. Ah, It ts a hard thing for • woman to make an honest living, even when her heart is not troubled, and she has a fair cheek and the magnetism of an exquisite presence. But now the husband, or the father, is dead. The expenses of the obsequies have absorbed all that «u left in the savings bank; and and wasted with weeping and watching, sBS'-jilJ?* f«rtb—a grave, a hearse, a coffln, bchimHvee.—lo contend for her ex - isteace and the cxistcn-cTtf jjjj children.

And yet how many women there are seated between the rock of bereavement on the oneslde and the rock of destitution on the other, Boses and Benah interlocking their shadow and dropping upon her miserable way. There is a sharp rock on the one side, sad a sharp rock on the other side. What are such to do? Bumehow, let them climb np into the. heights of the glorions promise: v Leave Uty fathrrlass children: I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows Iran la me. * Or get up Into the heights of that o ther glorious promise. The Lord preserveth the stranger and retleveth the widow mod the fatherless. O, ye sewing women on Starving wages. O, ye widows turned out from the once beautiful home. O, ye female teacheis, kept on niggardly stipend. O. ye despairing women, seeking in vain for work, wandering along the docks and thinking to throw yourself into the river last night. Q, ye women of weak nerves and aching sides, and short breath and broken heart, yon need something more than human sympathy; you need the sympatay of God. Climb np into His arms. He knows It all, and He love* you more than father, ■ther, or husband ever conld or ever rod instead of sitting down, wrlng>nr hands in despair, yon had better begin to climb. There ere heights of consolation for yon, though now “there is a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp reck on the other aide." Again, that man is in the crisis of the test who has a waated life on the one tide and an illuminated eternity on the other. Though a man may all his life have cultnred deliberation and self-poise, if he gets Into that position ail his self-posses-sion is gone. There are all the wrong thoughts of his existence, ail the wrong deeds, all the wrong words—strata stove strata, granitic, ponderous, overshadowing. That rock I pall Boses. On the other side are all the retributions of the future, and thrones of judgment, the eternal ages, angry with his long defiance. That rock 1 call Bench Between these two rocks Lord Byron perished, end Alcibladee perished, and Herod peristied, and ten thousand times ten thousand have perished. 0! man immortal, man redeemed, men blood-bought, climb up out of those shadows.

Ton mo from my subject umt whoa a man goes into the oafety and peace ol <t»o Gospel, ho does not demean himself. There to nothing in. religion that leads to meanness or nnmanltnoss. The Gospel of Jesus Christ only asks yon to climb as Jonathan did—climb toward God, climb toward Heaven, climb into the sunshine of God's favor. To become s Christian is not to go meanly down; it to to come gloriously up—up into the communion of saints, up into the peace that passeth all understanding, up into the companionship of angels.

Come np from between your bereavements and your destitution. Come up from between a wasted life and an unillumined eternity.

STATUES AS EDUCATORS History Taught by Works of Art. Foster* Stomp* oad Pm par Mon*;. “Da I regard statues ss educators of tbe people!" repeated a well-known banker, in answer to a reporter's query. ** Certainly I da They are educators in showing tbe progress of a people. The statue of George hi., if It had been left on Bowling Green, would have been an educator as to the times prior to the revolution. Then there was. the statue which stood a quarter of a century ago in front of the city hall, representing Washington in the shape of a fat Englishman, with top-boots and breeches, like the pictures of Pickwick. That, when co to pared with the equestrian statue on Onion Square, or the oolossal flgu$e it front of the sub-Treasury, would have been an edupator in showing how the art of making statues has improved during the pssFbenturr.

It Is the study which a man docs at his odd minutos rather than bis stud; at rcgUar hour^of study, which is likely to pi re him his superiority as a scholar. And this s:rt of study almost uut man can find time for, whatever is his ordinary occupation. Men nowadays talk of eight hours a day as a full day’s work; but the man whose daily work is limited to eight hours has spare time enough for all • slful rest and recreation, and for sufficic. t study to make him before long a man of marked attainments in almost any line of acquired knowledge.

Even ir bln regular worn covers ten or twelve hours a day, he still has time enough to make steady progress in various lines of spec'al study. The men who have made their mark in the world as eminent scholars, or as students of exceptional proficiency in particular lines of research, or as experts in this or that, direction of practical knowledge, have rarely been men who hod nothing else to do but to fit themselves for the sphere in which they attained highest distinction. In most cates they gained their pre-eminence through a wise use of the spare time which tiny above the hours of their regular daily there are few young men lo-dny so clflKt'i.*. occupied by what they call their regular work, that they might not find time to prepare themselves by special study at odd minutes for a place among the proficients in almost any department of human knowledge. It is true that they may not care to do this, and that they may not feel like working hard in another direction after having worked hard “all day" at that which gires them tbeir daily bread, or to the doing of which they are bound in honor. But that is a matter of inclination, ruther than a question of practicability. No man la likely to make high attainment in any sphere unless be is willing to do more every day than “a regular day’s work,” and unless he la ready to do extra work when he does not feel like doing anr thing. This la as true in the case of one whose regular work is that of systematic study, as of one whose study is supplemental to work of a different sort. If, Indeed, a man caa have study as his principal occupation, he. has a fine start in the pursuit of knowledge; but in any case ho must work out of regular hours ss well as in them, and must work whether he likes it or not. If he would be a man of marie in the line of hit life studies; and the young man who It ready to do Mis can hope for high attainment accordingly, even though he is not privileged just now to give him •elf wholly to study.—*• #■ Tims*.

Do this so unconsciously and effectually that obedience will be like a necessary part of its nature.

The crying evil of the hour is t)iat so few psreals know how or care how they can hold supreme authority over their own offspring. A perfectly-trained child will And disobedience an uncomfortable task. A feeling of discontent and unhappiness comes naturally when it fails to obey. Is there any thing more despotic in its power ever mat than a deeply-rooted habit! Fasten as with iron bauds the habit of filial obedience, and a child can only with an effort shake off a spontaneous feeling to obey. We now refer to the well-trained child. But how is it with one that lacks proper bringing upl The secret is thin: Moat parents do not understand their children's nature. How many knew, or fully realise, that obedience Is the first aad most important lesson that min must learn from infancy, and continue learning uutU life is extinct It is a lesson of greater importance than reading and arithmetic, and it is much harder to thor ougiy master.

Tbe largest bunch of grapes supposed to have been raised m California weighed 9 pounds, but it is said that much heavier bunches have been gathered in some vineyards and thrown into the wine press.

A deep hem of dark brown plush edged with a ball fringe finishes off the edges of the satin. A lino of gold-colored feathor-stitoh is carr.cd along the scams. Salt for the t able may be prevented from getting lumpy by adopting the following measures: Always buy the best powdered table salt and keep it iu a very dry place. Before using it for the table spread out tho amount required oa a plate and set it in the oven to dry. When filling tho cellars pass the salt through a glass.funuel.

The City of New York, recently launched on tho Clyde, is tho largest vessel in the world, the Groan Eastern being condemned to be broken up, and therefore really not in existence. It is life - jet on the water line, or StW feet over all, imd the gross tonnage is 10,000 tons. A sister ship, the City of Paris, alike in every particular, is now building. Both steamships are owned by the Inman line, and will run between New York and Liverpool. A mahise brake has been invented and was recently toted on the Seine. It consists of a cable l aving attached to it a scries of saavas cones, which open by the action of the water, and exert mi enormous retarding force on tho vessel. Thus a steamer running at a spied of 13 knots, was stopped by this appliance in T seconds, S4 seconds being required when she stopped by reversing the engines without making use of the brake. A schooxeh building! at Waldsborougb, Me., is expested to be the largest vessel of its kind afloat. It is of toe center-board pattern, and will curry five masts. Her length ef keel is 325 feet, her breadth, is SO feet, depth of hold 81 foot, and her measurement will be 1.800 tons.
