TALMAGE l SERMON. “Our Dopwtec Still I»iva” lUustratod by the Itor? of Jo39ph. t)dr Kariwi1, Wh Dle:l tb»t We Micht Live, Arose sn rJves to Intercede for Us la a >m« Where No Famin' Can Come.

Rev. T. DeWiti falmage took for tbw subject of a ree t sermon: •‘Our Departed Still Live.’ His text was: And when he snw c waaons which Joseph h*d sent to carry ilm, nfc spirit ot Jacob, their father, revive And Israel said: It is enough; Joseph mj »n Is yet alive.—Genesis, xlv.. SMS. The Egyptian ei ltal was the focus of the world’s wealt In ships and barges, there had been bt tght to it from India frankincense, an cinnamon, ami ivory, and diamonds pf >m the North, marble and iron: from Tia, purple and silk: from Greers', son of the finest horses of the world, and so e of the most brilliant chariots; and f m all the earth that which could bps please the eye, and charm the ear, .nd gratify the taste. There were temp s aflame with red sandstone, entered ' gateways that were guarded by pi trs bewildering with hieroglyphics, a 1 wound with brazen serpents, and domed with winged creatures, their yes and beaks and pinions glitterin with precious stones. There were mai le columns blooming into white flower uds: there were stono pillars, at the to] jursting into the shape of the lotus whei in full bloom. Along the avenues, lined with sphinx and fane nn< obelisk, there were Princes, who ■ame In gorgtMtsly upholstered p, inquins; carriv.w** Jiy servants in sea 't, or elsewhere drawli by vehicles, the ow-white horjes, gold-eu-bitteil, and si1 abrea^ dashing at full run. There wei fountains ffon# stonewreathed vases limbing the ladders of light. You wot l hear a bolt shove, and a door of brass ould open like a flash of the sun. The sv -ounding gardens were saturated with dors that mounted the terrace, and dri] ed from the arbors, and burned their i •cese in the Egyptian noon. On floors f mosaic the glories ■ of Pharaoh were i elled out in letters of porphyry, and ‘ryl, and flame. There were ornanieuts ivisted from the wood of the tamarisk, ei ossed with silver breaking into foam. There were. footstools mode out of s single precious stone. There were b> 1 s fashioned out of a crouched lion bronze. There were chairs spotted v h the sleek hide of leopards. . There we i sofas footed with the claws of wild asts and armed with the beaks of birds. is you stand on the level beach of the s on a summer day and look either wai. and there are miles of breakers, white ith the ocean foam, dashing shoreward. it seemed as if the sea of the world’s omp and wealth in the Egyptian capit for miles flung itself up into white breai rs of marble, mausoleum and obelisk. This was the dace where Joseph, the shepherd boy, a s called to stand next to Pharoah in ho >r. What a contrast between this seen and his humble starting, and the pit into vhieh his brothers threw him! Yet he as not forgetful of his early home, he as not ashamed of where he came from. he Bishop of Mentz, descended from wheelwright, covered his house with sy ;es, and hammers and wheels: and th Kiug of Sicily, in honor of his father, v » was a potter, refused to drink out of an thing but an earthen vessel. So Josepl was not ashamed of his early surrounc igs, or of his old-time father, or of s brothers. When they came up from I * famine-stricken land to get corn froi the King’s corn-crib, Joseph, instea of chiding them for the w’ay they haw maltreated and abused him, sent" them lack with wagons, which Pharaoh farm- ?d, laden with com: and old Jacob, th father, in the very same wagons, was ought back, that Joseph, the son, inigli see him and give him a comfortable h< le all the rest of his days. Well, I hea the wagons, the King’s wagons, rumb lg down in front of the palace. On tl outside of the palace, to see the wagoni go oft, stands Pharaoh in royal robes, a: beside him Prime Minister Joseph, v h a chain of gold around his neck, and l his hand a ring given by Pharaoh to 1 n, so that any time he wanted to sti Ip the royal seal* upon a document he >uld do so. Wagon after wagon rolls < down from the palace, laden with o n, and meat, and changes of raiment, tV:d every thing that could help a famin’ -truck people. One day 1 see aged Ja ■ b seated in front of the house. He is ) ossibly thinking of his absent boys (s« , however old they get, are never to a fo; ter any more than boys): and while he • is seated there he sees dust arising and i i hears wagons rumbling, and he womb t t what is coming now, for the whole li; d has been smitten with the famine a i it was in silence. But after awhile the wi • una have come near enough and he sees i s sons on the wagons, and before they t >me quite up they shout: “Joseph is yt t alive!” The old man faints dead away. do not wonder at it. The boys tell the < lory how the boy, the longabsent Josey t has got to be the first man in the Egyp: i m palace. While they unload the "wi ons the wan and wasted creatures in ihe neighborhood come u{ and ask for it handful of corn, and they are satisfied,

One day U < wagons arc brought up, for Jacob, the « i father, is about to go to see Joseph in th Egyptian palace. You know it is not a rg r y easy thing to transplant an old tree, J ud Jacob has hard work to get away ft t n the place where he has lived so lonj He bids good-bye to the ojjj place. leaves his blessing with the neighbors, 11 i then his sons steady him, while he, de < rmined to help himself, gets into the i agon, stiff, old,- decrepit. Yonder the f go. Jacob and his sons, and their wives, s ad their children, eighty-two in all, followed by herds and flocks, which the i rdsmen drive along. They are going on from famine to luxuriance; they are go: i g from a plain country home to the ftnesl palace under the sun.

Sly friends, we aro in a world by sin famine-struck: but the King is in constant communication with us, his wagons coming and going perpetually; and in the rest of my discourse I will show you what the wagons bring and wi st they take back. In the first place, like those that fame from the Egyptian palace, the King’s wagous now bring us corn and meat and many changes of raiment. We are apt to think of the fields and the orchards as feeding us; but who maker the flax grow for the linen, and the wheat for the bread, and the wool on the sheep’s bs.ck? Oh, I wish we could see through every grainfield, by every sheep-fold, r uder the trees of every orchard, the King’s wagons. They drive up three times a c ay—morning, noon anid night. They bring furs from the Arctic, they bring fruits from the tropic, they bring bread from the temperate zone. Tha King loo ts out. and He says: “There are twelve hundred millions of people to be fed and clothed. So rnany pounds of meat, so mauy barrels of flour, so many yards of cloth and linen and flannel, so many hats, so many socks, so many shoes;” enough 1'or all, save that Wo who are greedy get more shoes* than belong to us, and others go barefooted. None but a God could feed and ^clothe the world. None but a King’s corn-crib could appease the world’s famine None but a King dbuldtcll howihanv wagons to send, and how heavily to load them, and when i they are to start. They are coming over the frozen ground to-day. t'o you not hear their rumbling! They vrili stop at noon at your table. Oh, if for a little while they should cease, hunger would come into the nations, as to ITtiea when Hamilcar besieged it, and us in Jerusalem when Vespasian surrounded it; and the nations would be hollow-eyed, and fall upon each other in universal cannibalism: and skeleton would drop upon skeleton; and there would bo no or e to bury the dead; and'’lire earth would be a field of bleached skeletons; and the birds of prey would fall deadf flock after flock, without any carcasses to devour: and the earth in silence would wheel around. one great black hoarse! All life stopped because the King’s wagons are stop] ted. Oh, thank God for bread—for bread! I remark again, that, like those that came from the Egyptian ’jralace. the King’s wagons bring us gt>od uews. Jacob has not heard from his ■‘hoy for a great many years. He never thought of him but with a heartache. 'There was in Jacob's heart a room whffre la y the corpse of his unburied Joseph: an l when the wagons came, the King<sv-agons. and told him that Joseph was yet alive, he faints dead away. Good new* for J acob! Good uews for us! The King’s wagons come down and tell us that our Joseph-Jesus is yet alive; that He has forgiven us because we threw Him into the pit of suffering and the dungeon of shame.. He hfts risen from thence to stand in a palace. The Bethlehem shepherds were awakened at midnight by the rattling of the wagons that brought the tidiugs. Our Joseph-Jesus sends us a message of pardon, of life, of Heaven; corn for our hunger, raiment few our nakedness. Jes ts-Joseph is yet alive. I go to hunt np Jesus., Igo to the village of Bethany, and say: “where does Mary live!’” They say: “Yon-tef Mary lives.” I go in. I see where she sat in the sitting room. I go out whore M irtha worked in the kitchen, but I find no Jesns. I go into Pilate’s court-room and 1. find the judges and the police and the prisoners’ box, but no Jesus. I go into the A rimathean Cemetery, but the door is gone, and the shroud is gone, and Jesus is gone. By faith I look up to the King’s palace; and behold 1 hSte found Him. Joseph-Jesus is still alive! Glorious religion, a religion made not out of ^death’s ^eiid, and crossbones, and undertaker’s screw-driver, but one bounding with life, and sympathy, and gladness. Joseph is ye t alive! I know that my Redeems r lives. What comfort this sweet sentence g>v, si He lives. He lives, who once w as dead. He lives, my ever-living head ! He lives^o grant me daily breath. He lives, and l shall conquer death. He lives my mansion to prepare. He lives to bring me safe ly there. He lives, all glory to His name; He lives, my Jesus still the same. Oh. the sareet joy this sentence gives, 1 kuow that my Redeem* r lives! The King’s wagons will after awhile unload, and they will turn around and they will go back to the ptlaie, and I really think that you and I will go with them. The King will not leave us in this faminestruck world. The Kin ? hie ordered that we be lifted into the ws.goi.s, and that we go over into Goshen, where there shall be pasturage for our largest flock of joy,-and then we will drive up to the palace, where there are glories awaiting u s that will melt all the snow of Egyptinn marble into forgetfulness.

I think that the King’s wagons will take as np to see our lost friends. Jacob’s chief anticipation was not seeing the Nile, nor of seeing the long colonnades of architectural beauty, nor of seeing the throne room. There was a focus to all his journeyings, to all his anticipations, and that was Joseph. Well, my friends, I do not think Heaven would be worth much if our brother Jesus was not thcc«. If there were two heavens, the one with all the pomp anil paraphernalia of an eternal monarchy, but no Christ, and the other were a plain Heaven, humbly thatched, with a few daises in the yard, and Christ was there 1 would say: “Let the King’s wagons take me up to the old farm-house.” If Jesus were not in Heaven there would be no music there; tier* would be but few people there; they would be off looking for the lost Christ, crying through the Where u Jesus? Where is Jesus?" and after tb«y had found Him, with loving violence they would take Him and bear Him through the gates; and it would be the greatest day known in Heaven within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Jesus never went oft from Heaven but once, anil Hb was so badly treated on that excursion they will never let Him go again. Oh, the joy of meeting our brother, Jo-seph-Jesus! After we have talked about Him for ten, or fifty, or seventy years, to talk with Him, and to clasp hands with the hero of the age*; net crouching as underlings in His presence, but as Jacob and Joseph, hug each other. We will want some new term by which to address. Him. On earth we call Him Saviour, or Redeemer, or Friend ; but when we throw our arms around Him in everlasting embrace, we will ’ran t some new name of endearment. I can think of what we shall do through the long ages of eternity; bat what we shall do the ilrst minute I can not guess. In the first flash of His countenance, in the first rush of our emo- , what we shall do 1 can not imagine, overwhelming glory of the first HeavenMethinks we look, and look, and took Jacob np to aee Uy think that the

lie died; i>m u stormy day « was anus burial*, and the clouds wept with you and the winds sighed for the dead. The hell at Greenwood’s gate rung only a few moments,but your heart has been tolling, tolling evert* inee. You have been under a delusion, like Jacob of old* You have thought thit Joseph was dead. Too put his name Bret iui the birth record of the family Bible, and then you put- it in the death record of the family Bible, and you'bare been deceived. Joseph is yet altre. He is more alive than youare. Of all the sixteen thousand millions of children that statisticians say have gone into the future world, there ia not one of them dead, and the, King’s wagons will take you up to see them. You often think how glad yon will be to soe them. Have you never thought, my brother, my sister, how glad they will be to see you? Jacob was no more glad to see Joseph them Joseph was to see Jacob. Every time the door in Heaven opens they look to see if it is yon coming in. Joseph, once standing in the palace, burst out crying when hie thought of Jacob—afar off; And the Heaven of your little ones will not be fairly begun until you get there. A11 the kindnesses shown them by immortals will not make them forget yon. There they ore, the radiant throngs that went out from your homes! I throw n kiss to the sweet darlings. They are all well now in the palace. The crippled child has a sound foot now. A little lame child says: “Ma, will 1 be lame in Heaven?” ‘‘So, my darling, yon won’t be lame in Heaven.” A little sick child says: “Mo, will 1 be sick in Heaven?” “No, my dear, yon won't be sick ini Heaven.” A little blind child says: “Ma, will I be blind in Heaven?” “No, my dear, you won’t be blind in Heaven.” They are ail well there. In my boyhood, for some time we lived ‘ three miles from church, and on stormy days the children stayed at home, but fatheriand mothyr always went to church; that was a habit they had. On these stormy Sabbaths when we stayed at home, the absence of our parents seemed very much protracted; for the roads were very i bad, and they conld not get on very fast. So we Would go to the window at twelve o’clock to see if they were coming, and then we would go at 12:»J to see if they were cioming, and at 12: to, and then at one o’clock. After awhile Mary, or David, or DeWitt would shout: “The wagon’s coming!” and then wo would see it winding oat of the woods and over the bfrook, and through the lone, and up in front of the old farm-house; and then we would rush out, leaving the doors wide open, with many things to tell them, asking them many questions. Well, my dear brethren, I think we are mativ of ns in the King’s wagons, and we are on the way home* FASHION AND BREEDING. The Former Is of the Surface, the Latter of the Mind. There Is perhaps no more infallible sign of vulgarity than the mistaking of fashion for good breeding, and yetthoro is perhaps no error more common. The under-bred man always supposes himself to be com passing the innermost mysteries of being a gentleman when he has followed tho latest whimsical fancies of fashion. They have no inner sense of the fitness ef things, and are forced to depend upon outer rules. They can not be said to forget—since they never have known—that there Is an esseutial^rulgarity in the,eternal discussion of forms and of customs. The truly wellbred man knows as a matter of oourso what is proper, and if under ununusual circumst rare; ho may sometimes be at a loss in regard to etiquette he is always able to km superior to the whimsicalities of fashion. The distinction between good breeding and fashion is usually pretty strongly marked in people of the now rich variety. These upstarts are apt Vo be well up in all the devices and desires of fashion; they arc painfully exact in their observance of the latest whimsicalities of dress and deportment; they are miserable over any failure to keep up with the freshest chaegos in the ever-varying code of rulee laid down by some vulgar leader of fashion who is for tho moment at the head of the swim; but they are absolutely outside of tlhe truly well bred circle. The caste of “YcrodoVere” is above the acc dents of the hour, and docs not descend from its lofty elevation because of a failure to comply ;with outward rules which change from day to day and from week to woek, like thei dictates of fashion. And herein is the whole secret to tho matter; fashion if of tho surface, while breeding is of the mind. Fashion deals with the behavior; breeding is a matter of the character. Fashion is a varnish which may beappl-ed to any surface, while breeding is a method of making. A beggar may be taken from the gutter and trained to the height of fashion, while • m in can be well bred only through a process begun with his grandfathers. In a word, fashion Is but the shadow of a sh'adow, while breeding is the substance, unchangeable and unspoilablc. — Boston Courier. ' _ __ SAVE THE EYE-SIGHT.
