There be that had been worn by Piu* the crowning ot the llrst NapoThere was also a vestment that had been wort at the baptism of Napoleon II. As ear guide opened the oaken presses and brought out these vestments of fabulous cost and lifted them up, the fra* granee of the pungent aromatics in which they had been preserved filled the place pith a sweetness that was almost opEsalve. Nothing that had been duue stone more vividly impressed me Bs these things |hat had been done in cloth, and embroidery, and perfuana. But to-d»y 1 open the drawer of this text, and 1 look upon the kingly robes of Christ, and as I lift them, dashing with eternal jewel*, the whole house is dlled with the aroma of these garments, which "smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, put of the ivory palace*.” In »y text the King steps A>rth. Hie , robe* rustle and blaze as he advancer. 1 His pomp and power, and glory overmaster the spectator. More brilliant is He ban (,'oecn Vashti, moving amid the Per-* ' slap Princes; than Marie Antoinette on the day when Louis XVI. put upon her the necklace of eight hundred diamonds; than Anne Boiayn the day when Henry VIII. welcomed her to las palace; all beauty and all pomp forgotten, while we stand in the presence of this Imperial glory. King of Won, King of earth. Sing of tMsthf. Mmfwaworen ills garments not worn out, not dust-bedraggled: but radiant. and jeweled, and redolent. It seems as U they must have been pressed a hundred years amid the flowers of Heaven. Th* wardrobes from which they have j . been taken .must have been sweet with clusters of camphire, and frankincense, and all manner of precious wood. Do you r not inhale tho odors? Ay, ay. They smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of thf lvpry palaces.

Your first curiosity Is to know why the robe* of Christ are odorous with myrrh. Tills was n bright-leafed Abyssinian plant. It was trifoMated. The (1 reeks, Egyptian*. Romans anil Jews I nought and sold it at a high price. The Bret present thn? wm ever glveff P> Christ was « -prig of myrrh, thrown on llis infant I>ed in Bethlehem, and the . last gift that Christ ever had was myrrh pressed into the rup of His crucifixion. The natives would take it stone and bruise the tree, anil then it would exude n gum that would saturate all the ground beneath. This gum was need for purposes of merchandise. One piece of it, no larger than a chestnut, would whelm a whole room with odors. It was put in rtoseU, in chests, in drawers, In rooms, and Us perfume adhered almost '' Interminably to any thing that was any* where near It. 80 when in my text 1 read that Christ’s garments smell of myrrh. I immediately conclude the exquisite sweetness of Jesus. I know that to many He is only like any historical person,' another John Howard, another philanthropic Obcrlin, another Confucius, a grand subjiw^ for - pavutMg, a heroic th*w»e for" a poem, a beautiful form -■for n statue, but to those who have heard ,HiS voice, ami flit Hi* pardon, and ift cwtred Hi* beniwlletion.

Hot Mp much Uke morning glories, that bloom nUy when the sun i* coming np. nor like ‘‘‘four o’clock’s,1* that bloom only when the sun is going down, but like myrrh, i JMrpet natty aromatic—the same morning, ■Mon and night—yesterday, to-day, forpeer. It seems as if ire can not wear Him out We put on Him all our burden*, and afflict Him with our griefs, and set Him foremost In all our battles, and yet He is ready to lift, and to sympathize and to i»Ip. We have so Imposed upon Him that one would think In eternal affront He whuld quit our soul; and yet to-day He addresses tts with the same tenderness, dawns upon us with the same smile, pities uj w ith the sami compassion. There Is no name Uke His for ns. _ It is more imperial than Csesar’s, more musical than Beethoven's, more conquering than Charlemagne's, more eloquent than Cicero's. It throbs with all life. It weep* with all imthos. It groans with all pain. It sloops with all condescension. It breathes - with all perfume. Who like Jesus to set a broken bou*. to pity a homeless orphan, to nurse a sick man. to take a -prodigal back without any scoldinjj, 10 illuming a cemetery all plowed with

Oh, ye in *«e cup of life the saccharine has pretested: oh, ye who have had bright sparkling beverages-, how do you feel toward Him who tu your stead, and to purchase your dlscuthralment, took the tdpe», the unsavory aloes, the bitter aloes? Your third cariosity is to know why these garments of Christ are odorons with cassia. This was a plant that grew in India Mid the adjoining islands. You do not care to hear what kind of a. flower it had or what kind of a stalk. It is enough for me to tell you that it was Used medicinally. In that bind and in that age, where they) knew little about pharmacy, cassia was used to arrest many form- of disease. Bo, when la my text we find Christ coming with garments that smell of cassia, it suggests to me the healing and curative power of the Bon of God. "‘Oh,’1 you say, “now you have a superfluous idea. We are not sick. Why do we want cassia? We are athletic. Our respiration is perfect.

Our limb* ur« iith«\ and in th**# cool day* we feel that we could 'bound like the roe.'* I beg to differ, my brother, from you. None of you can be better in physical health than 1 am, and yet 1 must say we are alt sick. I have taken the diagnosis of your case, and have examined all the best authorities on the subject, and I have come now to tell you that you are full of wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores which have not yet been liounil np, or mollified with ointment. The marasmus of sin U on us—the palsy, the dropsy, the leprosy. The man that is expiring to-nignt on Fulton street—the allopathic and homoeopathic doctors haring given him up, and his friends now standing around to take his last word —is no more certainly dying as to his body than yon are dying, unless we have taken the medicine from OihI’s apothecary. All the leaves of this Bible are only so many prescriptions from the Divine physician, written, not in I-atin, like .the prescriptions of earthly physicians, but written in plain English, so that a man, though a fool, may nut err therein. Thank Ood that the Saviour** garments smell of cassia. Huptswe a man were sick, and there was a phial on hi* mantelpiece with medicine he knew would cure him. and he refused to take it, what would you say to him!1 He is a suicide. And what do you say pf him who, sick in sin, has the healing medicine of God’s grace offered to him, and refuses to take it? If he dies he is a suicide. People talk as though (Sod took a man and led him out to darkness and death—as though He brought him up to the cliffs and then pushed him off. Oh. no. When a man is lost It is not because God pushes him off: it is hei-ause he jum)>s off. In the olden times a suicide was buried at the crossroads, and the people were accustomed to throw stones upon his grave. So it seems id me, there may be In thia house a man who is destroying his own soul, and as though the 'angels of God were here to bury him at the point where the roads of life and death cross each other, throwing upon the grave the broken law and a great pile of misapproved privilege, so that those going may look at the fearful mound, and learn what a suicide it i* when an immortal soul, for which Jesus died, put* itself out of the way. When Christ trod this planet with fcot of tlesh. the people rushed after Hintpeople who were sick, and those who, being so sick they could not walk, were brought by their friend*. Here I see a mother holding up her little child, nud saying:. "Cure this eroup. Lord Jesus; cure this scarlet fever." And others saying: “Cure this ophthalmia. Give case and rest to this spinal distress. Straighten this club-foot." Christ made every house where He stopped a dispensary. I do not believe that in the nineteen centuries that have gone by since His heart has got hard. I feel that we can come now with all our wounds of soul and get His benediction. O Jesus, here we are. We want healing. We want sight. We want health. We want life. The whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Blessed be God that Jesus Christ comes through this assemblage now. His "garments smelling of myrrh”—that means fragauce—"and aloe*”—they mean bitter sacrificial memories—“and cassia"—that means medicine and cure; and' according to my text. He comes "out of the ivory nalares."

Yon know, or if jrou do not know I will toll you now, that some of the palaces of the olden time were adorned with ivory. Ahah and Solomon had their home* furnished with it. The tusks of African and Asiatic elephants were twisted into nil manners of shapes, and there were stairs of ivory and chairs of ivory and tables of ivory and floors of ivory and pillars of ivory and window* of ivory, and fountains that dropped into basins of ivory, and rooms that'had ceilings of ivory. Oh, white and overmastering beauty l Green tree branches sweeping the white curbs. Tapestry trailing the snowy floors. Brackets of light flashing on the lustrous surroundings. Silvery music rippling to the beach of the arches. The mere thought of it almost stuns my brain, and you say: “Oh, if I coaid only have walked over such floor*! If t could have thrown myself in such a chair! If 1 could have heard the drip tad dash of those fountains!” You shall have something better than that if you only let Christ introduce yen. From that place He came, and to that place He proposes to transport yon. for His “garments smelt of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of ivory palaces.” Oh, what a place Heaven must be! The Tuilertes of the French, the Windsor Castle of the English, the Spanish Alhambra. the Russian Kremlin, dungeons compared'with it! Not so many castles on either side the Rhine as on both sides of the river of God, the ivory palaces. One for the angels, insufferably bright, winged, fire-eyed; tempest-charioted: one for martyrs, with blood-red robes, from the altar; one for the King, the of His palace, the crowns of the militant; one for the singers, who lead the one hundred and forty and four thousand; one for you ransomed from sin; Ofle^for me, plucked from the burn the Ivory palaces! it seems to me as if the windows were illumined for some , and 1 look and see climbing of ivory and walking on floors of looking from windows of 1 w« knew and loved on > them. They are father and not eighty-two and seventy-nine as when they left ns, but blithe and

We aped to beweltoldll ated before we go into tilt Ivory ptikccs Eternal God, lot the Barges of Thy pardoning merer roll over us. I want not >nly to wash my hands and my feet, but, like none skilled diver standing on the pierhead, who leaps Into the wave and comes up at a for-dis-tant point from where he went in, so t want to go down and so i want to come up. Oh, Jesus, wash me in' the waves of Thy salvation.

And hifre I ask yon 10 solve a mystery that has been oppressing me fur thirty year*. I haveasked of doctors of divinity who hair© been studying theology half a century, and they have given me no satisfactory answer. I bare turned over all the books in my library, but got no solution to the question, tnd to-day I come and ask you for an ©ip! anation. By what logic was Christ induced td exchange the ivory iialaces of Heaven for the crucifixion agonies of earth? I shall take the first thousand million years in Heaven to study out that problem. Meanwhile and now. taking it as the te.tderest and mightiest of all facts that Christ did come, that He came with spikes in His feet, came with thorns in His brotr.eamc with spears in His heart, to save you and to save me. “Ood so loved the wor Id that He gave His only begotten Bon. t»at whosoever belie vethjn Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” O, Christ, whelm this audience with Thy compassion, Mow them down like summer grain with the harvesting sickle of Thy grace. Ride through to-day the conqueror. Thy garments smelling “of murrh. and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivorj palaces.” O, sinner, fling every thing else away and take Christ! Take Him now, not *>>- morrow. During the t ight following, this very day there may be an excitement in yonr dwelling, and a tremulous pouring out of drops front at unsteady and affrighted hand, and before to-morrow morning your chance may be gone. ABUSIN<3~T»IE BRAIN. Peculiar ABltetlouv Canted by Overworking the Mental Pacnltlos. A recent medical journal gives the report of a cos© of singular loss of memory in a young girl maiding in New York. Bitting in her own loom one day she took up a package of letters which she intended to answer, and was ama ted to find that she could not remember the names or api>earanee of any of the writers, all of whom were her own personnl friends. Bho was calm and sane, except upon this cno point; her memory of persons seemed to be suddenly lind wholly obil'erat-d Bhe hastily descended to the room where the fam ly was gathered fox dinner, and found that she could not re roemltor a single name or face, except that of her mother. Her father, sisters and brother's appeared to her as strangers, nor was it possible to recall them tlo her. The faculty of memory of persons appeared to he paralysed. It was found by the t hy nil-in ns that this singular effect was produced by the lodgment of a clot of blood U|ion a certain part of tho brain. Another well’known mental disorder, which produces forgetfulness of words, results from abnormal pressure, or softening. in another part o ' tho brain. The patient -frequently takes one word, such sa • Yea,” or “Water," tnd repeat* it a thousand times, imagining that be is conversing with fluency and esse. Our object in citing those rainful cases is to remind ouir voung readers of a fact which they are apt to forget; tt«t the brain it a physical organ an mneu s tho eye or hand, and, like them, can be, Ifthey choose, overworked, tlamnged and wounded to tho death. Tbstfaii at school would bo regarded as a fool ortnadman if he should, every day. cot « tendon of his arm or inject a poisonous fluid into his eye, until the strength of one nod the sight of tho other should be destroyed. Yet his dsily cigarette and tipple of wine and whisky are acting slowly und surely upon the tissues of the lirain paralysing and crippling his mental strength. Tbts warning may seem a needless platitude to adult readers, but there are many young people who lcrget, or who do m t know, that the vigor of intellectual iifedev I e ids upon physical as well as spiritual conditions The mind of each human be ng Is a captive in tits body; he can, if be will,, by drlaktng, by overeat ng, or by debauchery, blind and er.ppe U, as ltd the Phliistines their prisoner Bamsoa. Or he can train and use the ft notions of him body as it* slaves and taolu. and so make of it a royal guest, lit for immortal rule.—1'oatA’s ONspntea.

FARM BUILDINGS, AdrantacM Incident t« Keeping Them Warm In Winter. Warmth in winter is only created by the food. No stoves or methods of warming the buildings can be conveniently used without risk of damage and increased cost of labor. The bodies of the animals are the stoves and the food the fuel. The better the protection afforded the animal the less food required to promote warmth. In addi- . tion to tho warmth created the animal must be supplied with food ft>r growth and fat. When more food is given than required for bodily warmth the surplus heat is stored in tho body in the shape of fat, and when tho heat is insufficient the body will convert tho stored fat into heat and eliminate it off in the shape of tho warmth so often noticed when entering a stable. All energy or heat when used for sorvice is dissipated or lost, and this is a constant process. What the fnrmor should do in to save as much of thia heat as possible and convert it into fat It is not the open side of the stable that causes the loss of heat, but the motion of the air. Every time there i« a current of air, no matter how smalt, it carries off the warmth by putting the air of the stable in motion. The animals usually make the stall very w arm by the heat from their bodies but a small current of air coming down on the upper part of the body may cause the animal to take cold and become ill. In view of these facts, it seems as if there would be an advantage in plastering the barns and stables, not so much with the view of adding to the warmth of a building containing a large herd, but in order to close all cracks and creVices, or by using tarred fell the w alls may be made close. Ventilation can then be provided in some convenient manner, but no systom of ventilation will be perfect or safe that permits cold daughts of air to pass over the stock during the winter. There is a great saving olf food when the buildings are warm and comfortable. The annual loea of stock food through the agency of cracks in the walls of stables in this country is large, and it would be a surprise if a true estimate could be given. The annual saving of this loss would more than pay for all the repairs made to buildings, and it is economical, therefore, to have the buildings warm. Another point to be considered Is that the health of the animals is promoted and there is less liability of disease, and consequently a greater production of meat, milk and butter. With warmth, and the requirement of a smaller ration for each animal, more stock can be kept, which not only adds to the profits, but also to the manure heap, upon which the fertility of the farm depends.—Philadelphia Rco•rd.

When dress waists are past wearing they should be ripped to pieces, the lining washed and ironed all rolled up together and put awi.y until they are wanted at some future time.
