Sermon tyr Rot. T. DeWitt Tol* mage at Brooklyn TebomaclJ. Bwl u« C'o»trm»t»d —Ik* fleeting Nat ire ot Klrhr. Comwith the W ealth of the Ile- - llgloa of fit* harlour. For the »nbject of a recent sermon in the Brooklyn Tabernacle Kev. T. DeWitt Talmage took “Neir Springs of Joy,” taking for his text: Thou hast given me > »outh land: give me alto springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs .and the tether spring*.-Jo»hu« The City of Deblr wan the Boston of antiquity—a great place for brain and books. Caleb want >d it, and he oflered hia daughter Aohaah as a prise to any one who would capture that city. It was 4 strange thiug for Caleb to do; and yet the man that could take the city would hare, at any rate, two elements of mauhood—bravery anti patriotism. With Caleb’s daughter a* a prise to fight for, General Othniel rode into the battle. The gates of Debir were thundered tnto the dust, and the city of books lay at the feet of the couqueri >r*. The work done, Othniel comes back to claim bis bride. Having conquered ihe city, it is no grcal Job for him to couqner Ihe girl’s heart, for however fntnt-tcarted a womafr herself maybe she always loves courage in a man. 1 uevor • saw an esccption to that. Tbe wedding festiTity having gone by, Othuiel and Achsan are about to go to theii new borne. However loudly the cymbal» may clash and Ihe laughter riug, pai-ents are always sad when a'fondly-chorished daughter goes off to slay; aud A< hsah, the daughter ol Caleb, kuows that now is the time to ask almost apv thiug sho wants of her father. It seems that Cal sb. the good old man, had given as a wedding present to his daughter a piece of laud that was mount: ainous, aud sloping: southward toward the deserts of Arabia, swept with some very hot winds. It 1*08 called “a south tend." But Achsah wants is addition of property she wants a pie ce of land that is wellwatered aud fertile. Now. !t is no wonder that Caleb, standing amidst the bridal party, his, eyes so full of tear* because she was going away that he could hardly see her at all, gins her more than she asks. She said to him: “Thou hast given me a south land; jive me also springs of water.” And b< gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. What a suggestive passage! The fact la. that aa Caleb, the father, gave Achsab, the daughter, a south laud, so God gives to ns Ilis world. I am very thaukful He has given it to ns. Bul l am like Achsah in the fact that 1 vant a larger portion. Trees and flowers and grass and blue skies are very well lu their places; but he who has nothing but this world for a portion has no portion at all. It is a mountaiuous land, sloping off toward the desert of sorrow, swept by fiery siroccos: it is “a south land,” « poor portion for auy niau that trie* to put his trust in It. What has been your experience! What has been the ex;a rience of every man, of every woman tha l has tried tills world for a portion! Qitefn Elisabeth. amidst the surroundings of pomp, l* unhappy because the painter sketches loo minutely the wrinkles on brr fa<-e, and she indignantly cries out: “You must striko off my likeness with >ut any shadows!” Hogarth, at the verf height of his artistic triumph, is/ stung almost to death with chagritn because the painting he had dedicated to the King does not siern to be acceptable, for George 11. cries out: “Who is this Hogarth! Take hln trumpery out of tuv presence.” Briu>li^ Sheridan thrilled the earth with hit Wrptence, but had for his last words:’.“I am absolutely undone.” Waller Scott, fumbling around the iukstand, trying to write, wys to hi* daughter-. “Oh. take me back to my room; there is no real for Sir Walter but lu the grave.” Stephen Girard, the wealthiest man in his day, or. at any rate, only second in wealth, savs: * I live the life of a galley slave; when 1 arise in the morning my oue effort is to work so hard that'I can sleep when it gets to 1-e uight." Charles Laml*. applauded of all the world, lu the vsry midst of his literary triumph says: “Do you remember. Bridget, when » e Used to laugh from the shilling gallery at the play* There are now no goiwl pt iv* to laugh at from the boxes." But why go so far a* that! 1 used to go n>» further than your street to find au illustration i f whig 1 am -aving.

Hare you uo| iiad more rare and worrlmgut since you won that •ft ythousand<lollars than you did before? Some of the poorest men' 1 hare ever known have been tome of (Treat fortune. A man of stutll means may be put in great business straits, but’ the ghastliest of all embarrassment* is that of the man who has large estates. The men who commit suicide breause of mouetary losses are those who ran not bear lue burden any more, because they have only one hundred thousand dollars-fefl. On Bowling Green. Sew York, there is a house where Talleyrand used to go. He was a favorite man. All the world knew him, gad he hud wealth almost unlimited, yet at the doss of life he says: "Behold, eighty-tnree fears have passed without auy practical result, save fatigue of body and faftguo of mind, great discouragemenYtor the ’uture and great disgust for the past." Oh. my friends, this is “a south laud.” and it slopes off toward deserts ojsorrows: and the prayer which Achsah ntiid s to her father Caleb, we make this day to our Father God: “Thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of w ster. Aud he gave them the upper springs, and the nether springs.” Blessed be tod! We have more advantages giveu us than we can really appreciate. We lave spiritual blessiugs offered us iu this world which I shall call the nether ) prings. aud glories in the world to come which 1 shall call the upper springs. Where shall 1 find words •nongh threaded with tight to set foi-tli the pleasure of religiou? l>av.d, unable to describe it in words, played it on a harp. Mrs. Ilemans, not ttuding enough power in• prose, sings that praise in a canto. Christopher Wren, unable to describe it in language, sprung it into the arches of St Pant's. Jonn Bunyan, unable to press at it In ordinary phraseology, takes all tlie fascination of allegory. Handel, with ordinary music unable to reach the he ght of the theme, rouses It up in an oraorio. oh. there is no life on earth so happy as a really Christian life. 1 do not mean a sham Christian life, but a real Christian life. Where there is a thorn there :s a whole garland of roses. Where theirs Is one groan there are three doxologtes. .Where there Is one day of cloud there a a whole season of sunshine. Take the humblest Christian man that yon know—angels .of God canopy him with their white wings; the lightnings of Heaven are his armed allies; the Lord is his Bbepherl, picking out for him green Ktores by still waters; it he walk forth, iven Is his body-guard; If he lie down toaleep, ladders of light, angel blossoming, are let into his dreams; it he be thirsty, th« potentates of Heaven are his oup-bea rers; if he ait down to food, his plain tible blooms into the King*banquet. Hen say: "Look at that old fellow with the worn-oat coatthe anof God cry: “tuft up your heads, y« gates, and let him come in!” eople cry; "Get off my front doorkeepers of Heaven cry ted of my Father, inherit When he comes to die, to fWM

I l>le»» Christ for the present satisf ac•ion of religion. It make* a man all right with reference to the past; it makes a man all right with reference to the future. Oh these nether springs ot comfort! They are perennial. The foundation of Ood staudeth sure having this seal: ‘The Lord knoweth them that are Ilis.” “The mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord, who hath mercy npou them.” Oh, cluster of diamonds set in burnished gold! Oh, nether springs of comfort bursting through all tho valleys of trial and tribulation! When you see, you of the world, what satisfaction there is on earth in religion, do yon not thirst after it as the daughter ot Caleb thirsted after the water springs? It is no stagnant pond, scummed over with malaria, but springs of water leaping from the Rock of Ages? Take up one cup of that spring water, and across the top of the chalice will float the delicate shadows of the heavenly wall, the ye>llow of jasper, the green of emerald, the blue ot sardonyx, the fire of faclnth. I wish I conld make you understand the joy rajigiou is to some of us. It makes a mau nappy while he lives, and glad when be dies. With two feet upon a chair and bursting wilts dropsies, I heard an old man in the poor house cry out: “llless the Lord, oh my soul!” 1 looked around aud »uhl: “What has lids man gotta thauk Ood for?” It makes the lame man . leap like the hart, and the dumb sing. They say that the old l’nritan religion is a juiceless and joyless religion; but 1 remember reading ot Dr. Goodwin, the celebrated 1‘uritau, who in his last moments said; “Is this dying? Why, my bow abides in strength! i am swallowed up in God!” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Oh, you have been trying to satisfy yourselves with the “sonth land” of this world, do you not feel that you would this morning like 16 have access to the nether spriugs of spiritual comfort? Would you not lfike to have Jesus Christ beDd over your cradle aud bless your table, aud heal your wounds, aud strew flower* of ronsolaTion all up and down the graves of your dead? ‘T,» religion that can give Sweetest pleasure* while we live: Ti* religion can supply Swcete*! comfort when we die. But 1 have something better to tell you, suggested by this text. It seems that old father Caleb on the wedding day of his daughter wanted to nmke her just as happy as possible. '1 hough Othuiel was taken her away, snd his heart was almost broken because she was going, yet he gives her a “south land;” not only that, but tho upper springs. O God, my Father, I thank The* that Thou hast given me a “south land" in this world, ami the uether springs of spiritual comfort in this world; but, more thau all, 1 thank The* fur tl^mp]>er springs in Heaven. It: is ve^r fortunate we can not see lleaveu uutil. we get into It. Oh, Christian man, if you-could see what n place it is we would never got you back again to the office or store or shop, and the duties you aught to perform would go neglected. 1 am glad 1 shall nut see that world until 1 eutsr it. Suppose we were allowed to go on an excursion into that good land with the idea of returning. When we got there, and heard the song, and looked at their raptured faces, and mingled in the sn;>ernal society, we would cry out: u- stay! W» are coming here anyhow. Why take the trouble of going bark to that old world? We are here new : let u- stay.” And it would take angelic violence to' nut us out of that world, if we once got there. Hut as |>enple who can not afford to pay ] for an eut-rlainment sometimes come around it and look throngs the door ajar, or through the opeuing in the fence, so we Come and look through the crevices in that good land which God has provided for u-. We cau just catch a glimpse of it. We come uear enough to hear the rumbling of the eternal orchestra, though not near enough to’ know who blow* the cornet or wh*> Augers the harp. My soul spread* out both wiugs aud'claps them In triumph at the thought of those upper spring-. One of them breaks from beneath the throne; another breaks forth from beneath the altar of the temple; another at the door of “the house of many mansions.” Upper springs of gladness! Upper spring* of light! Upper sptlags of love! It is no fnucy of tniue. “The Lamb which is lu Ih- mid-t of the throne shnll lead them to living fountain* of waters.” Oh. Sat lour Divine., roll' in upon onr souls on* of those anticipated rapture*! Four around the roots of the porched tongue oue drop of that liquid life. Toss before our vision those fountains of God, rainbowed with eternal victory. Hear it. They are never sick there; not so much as a headache, or twinge rheumatic, or thrust neuralgia. The inhabitant never says; “1 am sick.” They are never tired there. Flight to farthest world is only the play of a holiday. They never *in there. it it as easy for them to he tody a% it is for u- to sin. They never die tkerp. You might go through ail the outskirts of the great city and' find not oue place where the ground was broken for a grave. The eyesight of the redeemed is never blurred with tears. There is health iu every cheek. There is spring In every foot. There is majesty on every brow. There is joy in every heart. There is hosanna on every, lip. How they must pity ns as they look over aud down and see us, aud say: “Poor things away down in that world.” And when some Christian is hurled into a fatal accident, they cry; ‘“Good! he is comlug!” And when we stand around the couch of some loved one, whose strength is going away, aud we shake our heads forebodingly, they cry: “I am glad lie is worse; he has been dowu there long enough. There, he is dead! Come home! Come home!" Oh, if we-could only get our ideas about that future world untwisted, our thought of transfer from here to there would be as pleasant to us as it was to a little child that was dying. She said: “Papa, when will 1 go home?” And he said: “To-day, Florence." "Today? So soon? 1 am so glad!” I wish 1 could stimulate you with these thoughts, oh Christian man. to the highest possible exhilaration. The day of your deliverance is cuming. is coming. It is rolling on with the shining wheels of the day, aud the jet wheels of the night. Kvcry thump of the heart is only a ham-mer-stroke striking off another chain of clay. Better scour the deck snd coil the rope, the harbor is only six , miles away. Je-us will come down in the “Narrows” to meet you. Now is your salvation nearer than when you believed. Unforgiveu man, uni»urdotted man. will you not today make a choice between these two portions. the “south land" of this world, which slopes to the desert, and this glorious land which thy Father offers thee, running with eternal water courses? \Thy let vonr tongue be consumed with thirst when there are the nether springs and the upper springs, comfort hers and

Do not turn your back on Jesus Christ, urho comes to save you, lest you should lose your soul. On Monday morning a friend of mine started from New York to celebrate her birthday with her daughter In Virginia. On Saturday of the same week, just after sunrise, I stood at the gate of Greenwood waiting for her silent form to come in. It is a long journey to itake in one week—-from New York to Philadelphia, from Philadelphia to Balti* more, from Baltimore to Washington, from Washington to Virginia, from Virginia into the great eternity. “What thy hand findeth to do, do it.” CARE OF BROOMS.

NATURAL RELIGION. KM l'ruf. Mu Mailer Mu to tar on Tkb Iut.ro.Un* Huldcrt. In theooume of alecture on the “taatd Book of the East," at Sheffleld, Prof. Mu Muller naltl In hi* opinion there *« no re liftion in the whole world which In simplicity, In purity of purpose, in clmrity and true humanity, came near to that religion which Christ taught to HU disciples And yet that eery religion wa» be In* attacked on all aides, and one of our moat eloquent Bishops had said that the unbelief of the day was not only aggressive, but almost omnipresent. The principal reason for this was the neglect of our foundations, the disregard of our own book tees religion, the aU moet disdain of natural religion. Keen Bishops would curl their lipa and toss their heads when spoken to of that natural and universal religion which existed before the advent of our historical religions, and without which all historical religion would have been aa tmpoetable as poetry without language. The heart and mind and soul of man were the tame under every sky, in all the varying circumstances of human Ufe, and it would Indeed bo awful to believe that any human beings should have boon deprived of that light "which Ughtoth every map that oomath into the world." It was that light that llgfateth every man. mid which has lighted aH the religions oi the world, call them bookless or literate, human or divine, natural or supernatural, which alone oould dispel the darkness of doubt and fear that had come over the world What our own age wanted more than any thing else was natural religion. Whatever meaning different thoo^ loglana may attach to supernatural religion, depend upon It the supernatural must always be superimposed on the natural Supernatural religion without natural religion was a house built upon sand, and when, ao in our days, the rala of doubt descended winds of unbelief and daspatr blewand beat upon that house, that house would fall, ho. cause it was not founded on tbs rock of tiniilrloKi religion, of natural xnltgUm, 9t reUffop—pjH || |^ y~a

VARIOUS NOTES OF INTEREST. Fomhqxbks comment upon the “emw mous breakfasts” which we Americans eat, and attribute much (if our ill-health to the fact. It is said that a florist at Lancaster. Pa., has so improved the dandelion that he has produced specimens ten inches in diameter. The fleece of ten goats and the work of several men for half a Tear are required to make a cashmere shawl a yard and a half square. New Yoke has an organization known as the Handsome Club, made up of IS* women, who are distinguished for beauty of face and form. A torso lady in Portland, Me., has worked up a uew business, in whicn she is said to be doing well—that of reading to old or disabled people. Is Oregon the public lands still undisposed Of aggregate 80,794,361) acres; in Washington 41,796.160 acres. Much of that is said to be of the yery best. Issraxsca statistics lead to the remark of a contemporary that Americans of tho middle and upper classes are healthier and longer lived than Englishmen. . The largest ruby in the world is said to be a stono weighing twentv-four carats and measuring au inch tn length and threequarters of an inch in width. It is owned in London.

In oue case a gentleman, whoso wife had received a ticket of invitation to the ball as one of tho “next of kin,” asked how his wife was expected to attend tho ball withont an escort. In other cases the wives of prominent men wore unable to gain admittance because not furnished with i a ticket. POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE. Epwakp Bn.we* Dickens, the youngest son of Charles Dickens, represents a protection district in the Parliament of Now South Wales. 6 Chavscet Dki-ew is the lightning-change dinner artist of New York. Ho has nowreached the point at which he can attend two dinners in one evening, make speeches, and do ample justice to tho menu of both. The widow of Kerseyi Coates, or Kansas City, has a fortune estimated at i 10,000,000, which all came from a successful venturo in real estate—a bit oMand which cost her husband 93,000. It was then a farm, but Is now twenty ucres in the heart of Kansas City. Harriet Beecher Stowe said to a reporter who called on hi¥ •few days ago: “My life seems like a dream. My work is done and I am enjoying the luxury of perfect rest and freedom. 1 can't remember what 1 read nowadays. My mind is a blank.

Ckolt, tho Now York editor, had lived long among the pines and acquired a great fondness for them. When he was buried his coffin was placed upon a bed uf pine needles, the cover was removed, and pine boughs were laid over tho body and across tne sides of the coffin uutil the dead man was covered several inches thick with the sweet-smelling wood he had loved. George Washington was an enthusiastic I Mason. In a letter to tho Rhode Island Masons he says: "Being persuaded that a just application of tbo principles on whiuh the Masonic fraternity is founded must be pr dueiive of private virtue and public pros- | pe tty, I shall always bo happy to advance the interest of the society and to be considered by them as a deserving brother.” L. B. Eaton, a very eccentric man, died recently at his homo near Fremont, Steuben County, Ind. He settled in that county in lS37,"and by the closest economy in living the life of a hermit succeeded iu acquiring over 1,000 aerosol land and much' other property. His strange will is in keeping with the oddities of his life. His la< d is to be divided into lots of ten acres, an I on each lot there is to be erected a cottare. These cottages are intended as homes of riendless women of good character over thirty-live years of age.

ATOMS OF ASTRONOMY. It has been calculated that not less than aan0Q,000 of meteors, each large enough to be visible as a “shooting star,’’ enter our atmosphere daily. The bright star Canopus emits more than one thousand five hundred times the light af our sun. Bir.ua is at such a distance that its light occupies nearly nine years in reaching us. and its real brightness is that sit sixty-three suns. Arne* careful investigation M. Ligner. the Austrian meteorologist, has become assured that the moon affects the magnetic needle. The disturbance is especially noticeable wheu the moon is near the earth, when she is passiug to first or last quarter, reaches its maximum wben tho moon ia in the plane of the equator, and is greater during tho aoulhern than during tho north eru declination. ftw « » 8 40 THE MARKETS.

Not only is Bright’* disease, diabetes, gravel, or some other dangerous integral disease of the organa themselves to be apprehended, but dropsical diffusions from the blood, rheumatism and gout, are all traceable to the non-removal from the blood by the kidneys of certain impurities. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters depurates the blood, renders the kidneys active and prevents their disease.
