THE FA' * HEIR’S HOUSE. DImsohem by Dr. Talmaea on the Hoover. ot the Bible. "Our Roue on tho Hills" Described-1U Don title* nod Comforts for All oho Accept the IMvlee Invitation to Mnfco It Iholr Abode. The following sermon on ‘‘Onr House on the Hills” van delivered by Hot. T. DeWitt Talmago «t “The flumptous,” N. Y. The text was: la my Father's louse are many rooms.-John air.,« Here is a bottle of medicine that is a cure-all. The discipiea were sad, anti Christ offered l eaven as an alternatire, a stimulant and a tonic. He shows them that their sorro irs are only a dark background of a bright picture of coming felicity. He lets them know that, though now they lire on the lowlands, they shall yet hare n house on the uplands. Nearly all the Bible descriptions of Heaven may be figurative. 1 am not positive that in - all Heavon thsre is a literal crown, or harp, or pearly gate, or throne, or chariot. They may be only used to illustrate the glories of the place, but how well they do It! Tbe favorite symbol by which the Bible presents oelestial happiness is a bonse. Paul, who never owned a house, although he hired one for two years in I aVr, speaks of Heaven as a “house not made with hands,” and Christ in onr text, tbe translation of whirh is a little changed, so as to give the more acc irate meaning, says: “In my Father’s house ere many rooms.” The divinely authorised comparison of beaven to a gioat homestead of large accommodations 1 propose to carry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man builds n very coHiuiodlous habitation. He must have room ft r all bis children* The rooms come to be called after the*differeut members of tbe family. That is mother’s room. That is George’s room. That is Henry's room. That is Flora’s room. That U Mary’s room. Aud the house is all occupied. Rut time goes by, aud the sons go out into the world and build their own homes,'and the daughters are marred or have talents enough singly to go out and do a good work iu , ths world. After awhile the father aud mother are almost aioue in Ike big house, and, seated by the evening stand, they say: "Well, onr family ie no larger now than when we started together forty yeare ago.” But time goes still further by aud some of the children are unfortunate aud return to tho old hoinentead to live, and the grandchildren come with them, and perhaps great-grandchildren, aud again the house is full. Mine milleula ago God built on tbe hills of Uenveu a great homestead for a family innumerable, yet to be. At first lie lived alone in that great house, but after awhile it was occupied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphic, angelic. The eternities passed on, ami many of tbe inhabitants became wayward aud left, never to return. Aud many of the apartments were vacated. 1 refer to the fallen sngcU. Now th«*e apartment* are filling up again. There are arrivals, at, tho old homestead of God’s childreu every day, aud tho day will come wheu there will be no unoccupied room in all the house. As you atid l expect to cuter it end make there eternal residence, I thought you would tike to get some more particulars about that many.roomed homestead “Iu my Father’s house are many rooms.” You see the place i* to be apportioned off into apartments. We shall love all who are iu Heaven, but there are some very good people whom we would not want to - live with tu the saute room. They may be belter than we are, but they are of a divergent temperament. We would like to meet with It em ou the golden streets, aud worship wink them iu the temple, and walk with them on^e river banks but 1 am glad to nay that we shall live in different apartments. ‘iu my Father’s house are many r.ti>m«.” You met, Heaven will be so large1 that if one wants an euttre room to himself or herself it cau be afforded. An ingenious statistiftau. taking the statement made in Keveiation. tweuly-firnt ’chapter, that the Heavenly Jerusalem waa measured aud found to t>e twelve thousand furlongs, aud that the ieugth aud breadth aud height of it are equal, says that would make Heaven iu sue blue l.uudred and forty-eight sex* tillion nice hundred and eighty-eight quintillion cubic fret, and theu reserving a certain |orlion for the court of Heaven and the «t reels, and estimating that the world mi)’ last one hundred thousand year*, he cipher* out that there are over five trillion rooms, eaeh room seveuteeu feet long, sixt-eir, feet wide, fifteen feel high.

Bill I ha re no faith in the accnrany of that calculation. He make* the r.«n» too small. From all that 1 can rr.nl, the rooms will be palatial, amt those who hare not f ail enough room in this world wilt have plenty of room at the last. The fart is that most people in this world are crowded, nud though out on a vast prairie or in a mountain district people may have more room than they want, iu most eases it is hons. built close to house. and the street* are crowded and the cradle is crowded by other cradles, and the grates crowded iu the cemetery by other graves, and one of the richest luxuries of many people in celling out of this world will be the gaining of unhindered and uncramped ro<>in. Aud 1 shdFhT not wonder if iuslcad of the room that the statistician ciphered out at ouly IT feet by Id. it should be larger 4beu any of the imperial room* at Berlin, 81. James or Winter Palace. “In mjr Father’s hdu-e arc many rooms.” Carrying out still further the symbolism of the text let us join hands snLgo up to this majestic hoinefflBMHawiBwmwBaapaaaBBM stead anrl see for ourselves. As we tiscend the golden steps, an invisible gnardsmau swing* opcu the front door end we are ushered to the right into the reception room ot the“btibiiomestend. That is the place where we first meet the welcome of Heaven. There must be a place where the departed spirit niters aud a ph.ee iu which it confront* th* inhabitant* celestial. The reception room of the newly arrived from this world— what sceues it must have wituossed since the first guest arrived, the victim of the first fratricide, pious Abel, lu that room Christ lovingly greeted nil new comers. He redeemed them and He has the right to the first embrace ou their arrival. What a minute when the ascended spirit first seen the Lord. Belter than all we ever raid about Him or talked about Him nr sang.about Him in all the churches and through all onr earthly lifetime will it be, just for one secuud to see Him. The most rapturous idea we ever had’ of Kim on sacramoutal days or at the height of some great revival, ot nnder •the uplifted baton of an oratorio, are a bankruptcy of thought compared with the first flash of Uis apjicarauce in that reception room. At that moment, when you confront each other, Christ looking upon yon and yfiu looking u|*on Christ, there w ill be an ecstatic thrill and surging ot emotion that beggars nil description. look! They need no inttvd iclion. Long ngo Christ chose that repentant tinner, and that repentant sinner chose Christ. Mightiest moment of an immortal history—the first kiss of Heaven! Jesus and the suui. The eonl and Jesus. But now into that reception room pour the glorified kinsfolk. Bnongh of earthly retention to let yon know them, bat without their wounds, or their sickuesses, or their troubles. Bee what Heaven has done for them. So radiant, so gleeful, so transr ortlngly lovely. They calf yon by name. They greet'yon with no ardor proportioned to the anguish of your parting and the length of yonr separation. Father! Mother! There Is your child, Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I wish you joy. For together again in the recepim «f the old homestead. You see know yon are coming. There ‘ filling alt the between here and Heaven that _ that files like lightning. They there iu an instant; though th*y some other world on errand from ignal would be thrown that would hem. Though yon might at first feel and overawed at their supernal r, all that feeling wilt b > gone at first touch of heavenly »a o’atioa. andVs will say: “O my »<*t boF," ‘t> my " •V ®J l«*t wv

we here together?” Whet scene* have been witnessed in that reception room of the old homestead! There met Joseph and Jacob, finding it a blighter room than any thing they saw in Pharaoh’s palace; David and the little child tor whom he once fasted and wept; Mary and Lasarns after the heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmother Lois: Isabella Qraham and her sailor son. Alfred and George Cookman, the mystery of the sea at last made manifest; Lather and Mag* tlalene, the daughter he bemoaned; John Howard and the prisoners whom he gospelised, and multitudes without number who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth, but gloriously m»t in HeaTen. Among all the rooms of that house there is no one that more enraptures my soul than that reception room. "In my Father’s house are many rooms.” Another room in our Father’s house is the throne room. We belong to the royal family. The blood of King Jesus flows in our reins. «o we hare a right to enter the throne room. It is no easy thing on earth to get through even the outside door of a king’s residence. Duriog the Franco-German war, one eventide in the summer of 1870, I stood studying the exquisite sculpturing of the gate of the Tullleries. Pari*. Lost in admiration of I the wonderful art of that gate I knew I uot that I was exciting suspicion. Lowering my eyes to the crowds of people I found myself being closely inspected by governmental officials, who ftom my complexion judged me to be a German, and that fo> some belligerent purpose I I m%ht be examining the gates of the | palace. My explanations in very poor | French did not satisfy them and they followed me long distances until I reached my hotel, and were not satisfied nn|il from my landlord they found that 1 was onl^au iuoffeusiTe American. The gates of earthly palaces are carefully guarded, and if so how much more severely the throne room. A daxsling place is it for -mirrors and all costly art. No one who ever raw the Ihrone room of the first and onlr Napoleon will ever forget the letter N embroidered in purplo and gold upon the upholstery of chair and window, the letter N gilded on the wall, the letter N chased on the chalices, the letter N flaming from the ceiling. WhatTtScouflagfttlou ot brilliance the throne room of Charles Immanuel of Sardinia, ot Ferdinand of Spain) of Elizabeth of England, ot Boniface of Italy. But the throne room ot our Father’s house hath a glory eclipsing all the throne rooms that ever saw scepter wave or crown glitter or foreign Ambassador bow. for our Father’s throne is a throne of grace, a throne of mercy, a throne of holiness, a throne of justice, a throne of universal dominion. We need not stand shivering and coweriug before it. for our Father say* we may yet one day come up and hit on it beside Him. “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in iny throne.” You see, we are princes and princesses. Perhaps now we more about incognito, as Peter the Great in the garb of a shipcarpenter at Amsterdam, or as Qu-eu Tty ah in the dress of a. peasant woman seeking the prophet for hetfldhlld’* cure; but V will be found out after awhile who we are when we get into the Ihrone room. need not watt until then. We tnayl^irayer and song and spiritual uplifting this moment enter the throne room. O, King, live forever! We touch the forgiving scepter and prostrath ourteives at Thy feet! The crowns of the royal families of this world are tossed about from generation to generation, and from family to family. There are childreu four yaars old in Berlin who have seen the crown on three Emperors. But wherever the coronets of this world rise or fall they are destined to meet in one place. And I look and see them coming from north and soatb and ia»t and w.-st—the Npsni<h crown, the' It iliao crown, tbs Eugl a'i crown, the Turkish crown, the Kus-ian crown, the Persian crown—aye. all the crowns from uuder the great archivolt of Heaven; and while 1 w.it h and wonder they are all flung in ra u of diaiuouds around the pierced feet.

St. Slohn and other Bible writers talk no ranch ab>ut the niusic of Hearen that there must be music there, perhaps not such as on earth was thrummed from tremtiUug string or evoked by touch of ivory key, but if not that, then something better. There are so many Christian harpists and Christian composers aud Christian organists and Christian choristers and Christian Uytncologisl* that have gope up from earth, there must be for them some place of e*i>eeial delectation. Shall we have music iu this world of discords aud no music in the land of complete harm-ray? I can not give you Ih > notes of the first bar of the new song that is suug in Heaven; I con not imagine either the solo or the doiology. But Heaven means music, and can mean nothing else. Occasionally that music has escaped the gate. Dr. Fuller, dying at B*io(«rt, 8. C„ said; “Do yon not hear?” “Hear what?” exclaimcd the bystanders. “The music! Lift tue up! O;>eo thewindnw!" In that music room of our Father’s house you wilt some day meet the old Christian masters, M»xirt and Hsud-I aud Men* drt*shon and lieethoTen. aud Doddridge, whose samd * poetry was as remarkable a< his sacred prose, aud James Montgomery and William Cow per, at last got rid of Ids spiritual melancholy, and Bishop Heber, who sang of “tireenland’s Icy mountain* and India’.« coral strand;” aud Dr. RaS.-s, who wrote of “High in yonder realms of light.” and Isaac Watts, who wgnt to visit Sir Thomas Abney and wife for a week, hut proved himself so agreeable a guest that they made him stay thirty-sis years; aud side by side. Augustas Top* lady, who has got over hi* dislike for Methodists, and Charles Wesley, frees] from his dislike for Calranista; and George W. Bet’tune, as sweet a songmaker as lie was great as a preacher and the anth >r of “The Village Hymns;” aud many who wrote in verse or song, in church or by eventide cradle, and many who were passiouately fond of music, but-,could make none themselves. The poorest siuger there morekbau any earthly prime donna, and tiie poorest player* there morothaa any Oottschalk. Oh, that music-room, the headquarters of cadence and rhythm, symphony and chant, psalm aud antiphon I May we be there some day wh*u Haydn sits at the keys of one of his own orat< rise, and David the psalmist Ungers the harp, and Miriam of the Red Sea banks claps the cymbals, and Gabriel ! (Kits his lips to the trumpet, and the four-and-tvrenty soldiers chant, and Lind and Pare pa reuder matchless duet in the music-room of the old heavenly homestead. “la my Father’s house are many rooms.” Another room in onr Father’s boas* will be the family room. It may correspond somewhat with the family room on earth. At morning and evening, yon kuow. that is the place we now meet. Though every member of the household have a seperate room, in the family room they all gather, and joys and sorrows and experiences of all styles are there rehearsed. Sacred room In all onr dwellings. Whether it be lnxnrions with ottomans .and divans and books in Russian lids standing in mahogany case, ot^ there be only n few plain chairs and a cradle. So the family room on high will be the place where the kiusfolk assemble and talk over the family experiences of earth* the weddings, the births, the burials the festal days of Christmas aud thanksgiving reunion. Will the children departed remain children there? Will the aged remain aged there? Oh, no; every thing is perfect t ere. The child will go ahead ta glorified | n-a’nritr and th> aged will go back to | glorified maturity. The rising sun of the one will rise to me.idiin and tbs descendin'! sun of the other wiH re tarn to meridian. However much we lore onr chtldrvn. we would consider it a domestic disaster if ther stakl children, and eo ere rejoice at their growth here. And when we meet In the fam lyrovm of our Fa-Us-r’s house we will be glad that they hive gra idly an 1 gloriously matured; wMe oar vwraD, wfco war? h|td aud Ua

Arm Awe, we shall be glad to find restored to the most agile and vigorous immortal' lty there. If forty, or forty-fire, or fifty years be the apex of physical and mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will advance to that and the heavenly old age will'retreat to that. When we join them in that family room we shell have much to tell them. We snail want to know of them right away such things as these: Did yon see ns in this or that or the other straggle? Did yon know when we lost nor property and sympaiihlso with ns? Did yon know we had that awfnl sickness? Were yon hovering any where around when we plunged into that memorable accident? Did yon know of onr backsliding? Did yon know of that moral victory? Were you pleased when we started to Heaven? Did yon celebnVe the hour of our conversion? And then, whether they know it or not, we will tell them all. But they will have more to tell ns than we to tell them. Ten years on earth may be- very eventful bot what must be the biography of ten years in Heaven? They will have to tel us the story of coronations, story of news from all immensity, story of conquerors and hierarchs, story of wrecked or ransomed planets, story of angelic victory over diabolic revolts, of extinguished suns, of obliterated constellations, of new galaxies kindled and swung, of stranded comets, of worlds on fire, and story of Jehovah’s majestic reign. If in that family room of our Father’s house we have so much.to tell them of what we have passed through since we parted, how much tasre thrilling and arousing that which they hav» to tell us of, what they have passed through since we parted. Surely that family room wi(l be oae of the most favored rooms in all our Father’s bouse. What long lingering there, for we shall never agaia be in a burry. “Let. me open a window,” *aid a humble Christian servant to Lady Raffle*, who. because of the death of her child, had shut herself up in a dark room and refused to see any one; “you have been many days in this dark room. Are you not ashamed to grieve iu this manner, when you ought to be thanking (rod for having given you the most beaut ful child that ever was seen, and instead of leaving him in this worhl till he should be worn with trouble, has not Go I taken him to Heaven iu all his beauty? Leave off weeping, and let me open a window." So to-day I am trying to open upon th« darkness of earthly separation the windows and doors and rooms of the’ heavenly homestead. “In my Father’s house are many room*." How would it do for my sermon to leave you in that family room to-day? I am sure there is no room iu which you would rather stay than in the enraptured circle of your ascended and glorified kinsfolk. We might visit other rooms in onr Father’s house. There may he picture galleries penciled dht with earthly art. but by some process unknown in this world, preserving for the next world the brightest and most stupendous scenes of human history. And there nmy be lines and forms of earthly beaut ^preserved for heavenly inspection in something whiter aud chaster and richer than Venetian sculpture ever wrmigbt. fiwms beside rooms. Rooms over rooms. Large rooms. Majestic rooms, opalescent rooms, amethystine rooms. “In my Father's h >us* are many rooms.” 1 hope noue of ns will be disappointed about getting there. There is a room for us if w» will go and take it, but iu order to reach it it is absolutely necessary that ne take the right war. and Christ is, the war; and we mnst enter at the inght door, and Christ is at the door; an'Kvve must start in time, and the only hour jrbu are sure of is the hour the clock now'' strikes, aud the only second the one your watch is u»w ticking. I hold in my hand a roll of letters inviting you all to make that your home forever. The New Testament I* only n roll of.letters inviting yon, as the spirit of them practically I says: “My dying. yet immortal j child in earthly neighborhood, I have built for you a great residence. It is full of rooms. I have furnished them as no palace was ever furnished. Pearls arc nothing, emeralds are nothing, rliryscphrasns is nothing; illumined panels ot_ sunrise and sunset, nothing; the aurora of the northern heaveus. nothing- compared with the splendor with which 1 hare garuiitured them. But you must be cleau bet ore ycu can enter there, and so I have opened a fountain where you may wash all your sins away. Come, j now! Put your weary but cleansed feet on the upward pathway. Do yon not see amid the thick foliage on the heavenly hiill tops the old family homestead?” “In my Father's house are many rooms.”

THE SAVING HABIT. ! A Jlmnwt rhftt rromln< to Have ■■ Kieelleal IoBo*urr. An experiment that will be noticed with [ unusual Interest give* promise of being 1:1 ole In New York. A bill before the Legislature la designed to teach children the art of saving small sums of money and to help them to lorm habits of economy that will tie of use to them in after life. According to the terms of the bill the teachers in the public schools are authorised to receive tie- ! [twite of oue cent or more from the pupils | each Monday morning until the sum ! teaches llfty cants, when it is deposited in n bank, and a bank book is furnished the scholar From that time on the boy or girl ! fakes the savings to the bank and the teacher is relieved of all responsibility in the matter The purpose of the plan Is to .start the pupil on the road to economr and then leave him to work out the suggestion himself, and it Is not altogether an expert; j ineot It haa been. carried into practice in a number of schools throughout the country.;, j One of moat successful efforts of the kind has been made in a night school in New Haven. Conn, where there are some »M pupils Beginning in IS8T, there hare beengn all about 1M> depositors with an aggregate strings amounting to M9& The depositors elect tihair own officers, cards instead or books are used and when a'deposit ! reaches 110 t a placed in a regularly organ- : tied savings bank. Vpon the acquirement early in life of the savings habit depends in a targe measure the success of the individual If the necessity of saving >• not clearly demonstrated in early youth, its importance Is apt to be ascertained in after years at ths expense of neglected opportunities and unsuccessful efforts The habit it most neglected also among the very class that needs It most Those dependent upon daily wages have, aa a rule, very vague ideas on the saving habit, and the consequence is that a large share of them go through life constantly hampered by tine lock of a ready dollar to dejioiid upon. Tbe inculcation of the saving habit. It b believed, will also go a great way toward solving tbe labor problems. No man U so completely at the mere.- of a heartless employer as the man without n surplus dollar, and if he his a family he is so much the wore dependent. The man who has a bank account, at matter If secured at the expense of the most rigid self-denial, is the man most likely to be independent in all his relations In Ufa It is the minor economics which have lo 40 with tbe affairs of everyday life, concerning'which there is such a lamentable ignorance. It can beet bo dissipated by teaching the young the plain rules of economy ar applied to every-day life, both teachings arc far more effective than elaborate treatises on production, distribution and consumption, which reach only a rmali minority of [woplc. ami that, too. at a time Of life when habits arc rarely •hanged.-Miunearoba Tribune. Getting n Start In UCs. My advice ton young man would be in first obtain the best education possible, collegiate if be could; (ben engage In such business or profession an would be agreeable to his inclination sad taste, then adopt honesty as policy. Tbe old [ brass: “Honestv Is the best policy," is so little understood by young men that It goes into one ear and out of tbe other.

FASH ION sTof THE DAY. The Style* of Kulnient amt Headgear for l.ad» an.l Luua There is as m^ch variety shown in the many pretty designs for children's dresses as in those of the older generaHpn. Styles change for them as for us. and what was considered thoroughly appropriate a year or so ago, appears, now decidedly passe. Simplicity is the predominant feature of the little gowns and the hideous monstrosities of silk and velvet, abridged editions of the mother'e finery, are at present noticed only on the offspring of the nouveattx riches. Muslin, India linen, cambric, any thing and every thing washable, serves as the nicest material for the formation of the simple slips.

The skirts are long and full, being pleated, gathered or shirred to the short waists, which are mostly cut out in the neck to allow the use of a gamp. One of searlet and blue Scotch ging;* ham has a broad collar of plain blue with long points back and front slashed open to show the bodice. The armholes are finished with more tabs, reaching half-way to the elbow. Another, with box-pleated skirt, has the bodice buttoned to one side in front, with turned-down lappet, giving the dlrectoire Effect The accompanying gamps can be both fussy and plain, but the prettiest ones are fulled into the neckband, which is edged with a frill of embroidery, and have the sleeves ono large pufffrom shoulder to wrist. Others arwformetl of rows of inserting and tucking or/of spidery lace and dainty white 'fibbon. and in all cases the arm coverings are, liberally speaking. the sweltest things imaginable. A dainty white frock of French muslin had the skirt trimmed with eighteen rows of fine tucking at the top of n broad hem. The waist bad the small plaits each side of the buttons down the back, while from the shoulder seams to a point at the waist line in front was drawn beautiful sheer embroidery about three inches in width. Between the two pieces the mull was laid in tucks The full sleeves and neck were capped with frills of embroidery. and from under the arms was tied a huge sash of the goods reaching the hem. A kilt skirt of pink and white striped lawn has a loose blouse of white, over which in; Zouave fashion is a little jacket of pink. The hats show all styles and shapes, the newest perhaps being large fiats in dark reds and blues, greys and greens, with broad, white ribbon tied around the crown in large loops and ends hanging far below the belt_Chicago Journal. Gapes in Little Chicks. In taking little chicks from the nest (turkeys also), by observing closely, you will almost always find on the forward part of crown and throat, tightly matted, vermin which come from the old hen. These deposit eggs at the nostril and around the mouth, so they will be inhaled or in some way get into the windpipe, and then hatch into a red worm, and as they develop prey upon the bird and strangle it to death. One might say. why do incubated chicks raised artificially get the gapes? Because they are allowed to become dirty and filthy, which breeds vermin. There are several remedies for gapes the best one is not to allow the hen while sitting to become infested, nor while she is earing for chicks. When taking chicks from the nest, grease upder throat and crown of head; he sure and get around the edge of beak and under the old hen's wings and near vent, with a mixture of carbolic acid and hurd. This preparation must not be or it will kill the bird—just enough to smell the acid. Repeat the lion in a week or ton days Altai- the thicks are large enough to eat whole corn there if no danger.-^roy , • ■
