There was also It; thnt^jly the temple of Belus, with towern—one tower the eighth of a mile high, in which there was an observatory where aatronemers talked to the stars. There was to that temple an image, just ona image, which would cost what would he ow Aflytfifu million dollars. O, what a citv! The eerth never saw any thing Itket1, never will see anything like it. And yet 1 have to tell yon that It is going to ho destroyed. The King aud his princes are at a feast They are all intoxic tied. Tour out the rich wine into the chalices.

The Kmi, sealed ii|s>n a chair, with vacant look, as intoxicate men will—with vacant look stared at the wall. Hut soon that vacaut Hook takes on intensity, and it In au affrighted look; and all the princes begin to look aud wonder w hat is the mailer, and they look at the same pole t ou the wilt. And then there drops a darkness Into the room aud puts out the hlaie of the golden plate, and out of the sle< re cf the darkness there comes a Anger -a Auger of Aery terror circling around and circling around as though il wot Id write; and then it comes up. and • willi a sharp tip of Aatne it inscribes on ' the plastering of the wall the doom of the Kiug; “Weighed in the balance, and foaud waut ing.” The bang of hoary A«ts against tlio gales of the palace is followed by the breaking in of the doors. A thousand gleaming knives strike into a the usand quivering hearts. Mow Death is I [Ing, and be is seated on a throne of corpses. In that hall there is a balance lifted. Owl swung it. On one side of the be lance are put Belsbassar’s opportunities; on the other tide of the' balance are pnji Helshmaar’s sins. The slus come tlo'vn. Hii .opportunities go up. Weighed la the balance—found wanting. irhere baa been a great deal of cheating In oar country with false weights and measures and balances, and that) >vernmoot, to change that state of things, appointed commissioners whose business It ea* to stamp weights and measures aid balances, and a great deal of the wrong has been corrected. But still, nf ter all, there Is no such thing as a per* fe st balance on earth. The chain may break, or aome of the metal may be dipped, «ir in some wey the equipoise may be n little disturbs i. Ton can not always depend upon earthly balances. A ponnd Is not always a pound, and you roay pay for one thing and get another; but in the balances which la suspended to Ibe throne of God, a poaad Is a pound, and right is right, add wrung is wrong, and a wml ‘■r - —•* and eternity W eteruity. -"^lod has n perfect boshel aud a prrfecl jieck aud a perfect gallon. Vfhen merchants weigh their goods in Ilia wrong way, then the Lord weighs the goods airaln. If from the imperfect treasure the merchant pours out what pretends to be n gallon of oil and there It less Ilian a gallon, God knows it, ami 1* calls upon Mn recording angel to mark ID "Brf much wanting in that measure of oil." The farmer comes In from lbs country. Hie ban apples to tell. He has an Imperfect measure. He poors out the apples Iftwha this imperfect measure.

So God estimates nations. Bow many times Be has put the Spanish monarchy into the soaleu and found it insuOeiont and condemned It. The French Empire was pieced on one aide the scales, end God weighed the French Empire, end Napoleon said: “Hare I not enlarged the boulevards! Did 1 not kindle the glories of the Champs Klysees? Hare I not adorned the ToilcriesJ Have I not bniit tits gilded opera-house!” e Then God weighed the nation, and He pat on one sldc'the scales the Emperor, am! the boulevards, and the Tuliertee, and the Champs Elysees, and the git ted opera-house, and on the other side He puts that man's abominations, that mem’s libertinism, that man’s selfishness, that man’s godless amb^ton. This last came down, nnd all the brilliancy of the scene vanished. Wlsat is that roles.coming up from Sedan? Weighed and found wanting! But I must become more individual and more (personal in my address. Some people say they do not think clergymen ought to be personal la their religions address, but onght to deal with subjects in the abstract. 1 do not think that way. tVhat would yon think of a hunter who should go to the Adiroudacks to shoot deer in the abstraot! Ah.no. He loads the gun. he puts the ball of it againtl the breast, he runs hie eye along the barrel, bo tide's sure aim, nnd then crash go the antldTs on the rocks. And so, if we want to be hunter* for the Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Nat in the ebstrect ars we to treat things in religions discussions. If a physician comes into a sickroom, does he treat disease in the ab•irscl! No; he feels the pulse, takes the diagnosis; then he makes the prescription. And if we want to heat *tol« for this life aud the life to some, we ido not want to treat thorn in the abstract The fact is, you tud I have a malady which, if uneur«d by grace, will kill ns forever. Now. 1 wnnt no abstraction. Where is the balm? Where is the physician! People say there is a day of jndgmenl coming. Ur friends, every day Is a day of judgmeut and you and I to-day are being canvassed, inspected, weighed. Here are the balances of the sanctuary. They are lifted, and we must all be weighed. Who will come and be weighed first! ll«re is a moralist who volunteers. Be is oue of (he most upright men in the country. Becomes. Well, my brother, get in—get into the balances now, aud be weighed. Hut as he gets iuto the balance, Isay: “What is that bundle you have along with you!” ••Oh.” be says, ‘ that is my reputation for goodness, and kindness, and charity, and generosity, and kindness generally.” ••Ob.” my brother ! we can not weigh that; we Ah-going to weigh yen—yon. Now, stand In the scales—you, the moralist. Paid your debts!” «Y^Pyou say. “paid all my debts.” ••Have you acted iu an upright way in tb# cominnnlty.”* “T-gs. ygo.*’ : i l i

"line yon oweu stun 10 un pwr, air you faithful in n thousand relations in tlfe?” "Ve»V ••80 far. *0 good. But now, before yon got out of this »o»le, I want to usk yon two or three question*. Have yonr thoughts always bran right?” "No ” you say "no.” But i)owu one mark. “Hare you luwl the I/>rd with ail your heart, and soul, ami miml, and strength!'” “f< 1," you say. Make another mark. "Cants, uuw, be frank, and confess that in ten thousand things yt-n have come short—have you not?*' "Yes.” Make ten thousand narks. Conte, now, get ute a tiook large enough to make the record of tjytt moralist's deficits. My brother, staud in the scales, do not fly away from them. 1 put on your side of the scale* all the good deeds you ever did. all the kind words you ever uttered; but on the other side the scales I put this weight which God says 1 must put there —on the other side the scales and opposite to yours I put this weight; “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be Justified.” Weighed and found want* lug. Still, the balance of tbe sanctuary are suspouded and we are ready to weigh any who cotce. Who shall be the next? Well, here is a formalist. He come* and he geta Into the balances, and as ha gets tu 1 see that all his religion la in genuflexion* aua in outward observance*. Aa he gets into tbe scale* 1 say: “What is that yon have in this pocket?” “Oh!” he says, “that Is the Westminster Assembly Catechism.” I say: “Very good. What have yon in the other pocket?” “Oh!" he ‘says, "that is the Heidelberg catechism." "Very good. What la that you have under your arm, standing in this balance of the sanctuary?” “Oh!" he says, “that is a church racord," “Very good. W hat are these books on yonr side Ihe balsuces?” “Oh!” he says, “those are 'Calvin’* Institute*-'” y' **My brother, we ere not washing books; we are weighing yoq,/ It can nod lie that you are depending for your salvation upon yonr orthodoxy. Do you not know that the creeds and ttbe forms of religion are merely the scaffoldiug lor the building? Von certainly are not going to mistake the scaff I Img far the tempi*. Do yon not know that luejfliave gone to perdition with a catechism in their pocket?" , “But,” aaya the man, IS cross myself often." . “Ah I that will not save yon." “lint.” says the man, "I am sympathetic for the poor.” ♦ "That wilt not save you." Bays Uie man: “I sat at tbe communion t*bl*,” That will not save yon. “liut." says the man, “I have had my name on the church record.” * That will not aave yon." "But I have been a professor of religion forty years." - “That wUl not save yon Bland th»r* on you side the-balances, and I will give you Ihe advantage—I will let yon have all the creeds, all the church records, nil the Christian convention* that were ever held, all the communion tables that were ever built, on yonr side the balance*. On the other side the balances I must put what God tnys I must put there. I piit\lhi* million-pound weight on the other si’e Ihe balances; 'Having the form of godliness, hot denying the power thereof. From such turn away.' Weighed and round wanting.” Still the balances are sot pended. Are there any Other* who would like to he weighed or who will he weighed? Tee; here comes a worldling. Ha get< into the scales. I can very easily see what his whole life is made up of. Stocks, dividends, percentages, “buyer ten day*,” “buyer thirty days.” Get In. my friend; get into these balances and he Weighed— weighed for this life, and weighed for the life to come. He gets in,- t And that the two great questions in hiaJif* are: "How cheaply can I buy these goods?" and “How dearly can 1 sell them?” 1 And he admires Heaven because it it a land of gold, and money mast be 'easy.” I And from talking with him that religion and Uw Sabbath are an Interruption, * vulgar interruption, and he hope* on the way to church to drum up a new customer! All week he has been weighing fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing Worldly and perishable commodities. not realising the fact that M has been weighed. On yonr side the balances. O worldling! 1 will give you fall advantage. I pat ou your side nil the banking houses, ail the storehouse, aU the cargoes, all th* insurance companies, all the factories, all th* silver, ail the gold, aU the money vaults, all Ihe safe deposit*—all on yonr tide.

-.—. . wc ar« ntoriug on (mid astounding realities. These which ere now drumming the march of life, may. after awhile, call a halt. W# walk on A hair-hung bridge lurking over chasms. All around ua are dangers lurking read* to spring on ua from ambush. Wo Ue down at night, not knowing whether we shall arise la the morning. We start out for our occupations, not knowing whother we shall come back. Crowns being burnished for thy brow or bolts forgad for thy prison. Angels of light ready to'” shoot at thy deliverance, or fiends of darkness stretching out skeleton hands to poll thee down into ruin consummate. Suddenly the judgment will he here. The" sngel, with one foot on the sea and the other foot on the land, will swear by If 1m; that Ureth forever sad ever that time shall be no longer: “Behold, Ue cometh with clouds, and every eye shell aee Him.” Hark to the jarring of the mountains. Why, that Is the sotting down of-Ohe scales, the balances. And then there is a flash as from a cloud, but; it is the glitter of the shining balances, sad they are hoisted, and all nations art' to be weighed. The unfoi-given get on this side the balances.. They may have weighed themselves and pronounced n flattering decision. The world may have weighed them and pronounced them moral. Now they are being weighed in God’s balances—tbe balances that can .make j no mistake. All the property gone, ail the titlea of distictinn gone, all the worldly successes gone; there Is a soul, absolutely uothiug but a soul, an immortal soul, a never-dying stiul, n soul stripped of nil worldly advnutnees, a soul—on one side the scale. On tbe other side tbe balances are wasted Sab- j baths, disregarded sermons, ten thou- { •and opportunities of mercy and pardon that were cast aside. They are on the I other aide tbe scales, and there God j stands, and in the preseuce of men and i devils, elterubtm and archangel. He an- | uo'tnces, while groaning earthquake, and j crackling conflagration, and judgmeut : trumpet, and everlasting storm repeat | it: ’‘Weighed in the balance, and round i wanting.’” But say acme who are Christians:“Cor* j taiuly you dou’t menu to *ay that we will j here to get into the balances? Our tins J are all pardoned, oar title to Heaven is | secure. Certainly vou are not going to put us iu the balances f” Y»s, my brother. We must all appear before tlie judgment seat of Christ, and on that d!ay you are certainly going to be weighed. Oh. follower of Christ! you get Into the balances. Tho bell of the judgment is ringing. You must get into the balances. You get in on this side. On the other side the balances we will place all tbe opportunities of good which yon did not improve, nil the attainments in piety which yon might have had. but which you refused to take. We place them all on the other Vile. They go down, and youp aonl rises in the scale. You can nut weigh against nil those imperfections. •

wen, men, we must (fire you me auvantage, and ua your side the scales we will place alt Uie good deeds you have ever done, and all (be kind words yon bare ever uttered. Too light yet! Well, we will put on your side ail the consecration of your life, all the holiness of your life, all the prayers of your life, ali the faith-|of your Christian life. Too light yeti '■Come, mighty men of the past, and get la on that side of the scales. Come, Payson, and Doddridge, and Baxter, get in on that side tne scales and make them come down, that the righteons one may be sarird. They come and they get in the 'scales. Too light yet! Come, the martyrs, the Latimers, tbs Wicktiffes, the men who suffered at the stake fur Christ Get in on this side the Christian’s balances, and sea it you can not help him weigh it aright. They come and get tn. Too light 1 Come, angels of God ou high. Let not the righteons perish with the wicked. They get In on this side the balauces. Too light yet! 1 put on this side the balances all the scepters of light all the thrones of power, all the crowns of glory. Too light yet: Bat just at that point Jesus, the Son of God, comes up to the balances, and He puts one of His scarred feet on yonr side, aud the balances begin to tremble from top to bottom. Then He puts both of Hi* scarred feet on the balances, and the Christian's sides come down with a stroke that sets all the bells of Heaven ringing. That Rock of Ages heavier thau any other weight. But says the Christian: "Am I to b*' allowed to get off so easily?" Yes. If some one should come and put on the other side the scale* of your impsrfectious, all your envies, all your jealousies, all your Inconsistencies «f life, they wonld not budge the scales with Christ on your side the scales. Go free! There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Chains broken, prison houses opened, sin* pardoned. Go free! Weighed in the balances and nothing, nothing wanted. Oh! what a glorious hope. Will you accept it this day? Christ making up for what yon lack, Christ the atonement for all your eins. Who wilt accept Him? Will not this whole audience say: •T am insufficient;-lama sinner; 1 am lost by reason »f my transgressions, but Christ has paid it all. My Lord and my God, my life, my pardon, my Heaveu. Lord Jesus. I hail Thee." Oh! if you codfd only understand the worth of that sacrifice which I hare hepresented to you under a figure—If yon could only understand the worth of that sacrifice, ’he whole audienoe would this moment accept Christ and be saved. We go away off, or back into history, to get some illustrati''- by which we may set forth what Chrt-i na* done for us. We need not go so far. I saw a vehicle behind a ruuaway horse dashing through the street, a mother and her two children in I be carriage. The horse dashed along as though to hurl them to death, and a mounted policeman, with a shout, clearing the way, and the horse at full run, attempted to seise those ruuaway horses to save a calamity, when hi* own horse fell and rolled over him. He was picked np half dead. Why were onr sympathies so stirred? Because he was badly hurl, anil hart for others. But t tell you to-day of how Christ, the Bon of God. on the blood red horse of sacrifices came to our recue. and rode down the sky and rode unto death for our rescue. Are not your hearts touched? That was a sacrifice for you and me. O Thou who didst ride ou the red horse of sacrifice 1 come this hoar and ride through this assemblage on the trnite horse of victory.

HINTS FOR HORTICULTURISTS Uiva the pear tree* thorough cultivation the first year. Want practical fruit growers favor pruuingin mid-summer, as the wounds then heal most rapidly. Borers arc much easier destroyed^ when they first make their appearance that at any time later. Do thorough work. Or gooseberries, the Downing bears enormous crops nearly every year, and the fruit, owing to its large sise, sells well in the market. Tui copious manuring or topdresamg so Important for the successful growth and flue bearing of apple trees, might destroy a cherry tree. It Is the opinion of horticulturists in general that for a rigorous climate a rootgrafted apple tree, properly made, la better in every respect than a budded tree. • Ir a man says he is a horticulturist, you must expect him to know something about soil and its ; he must know something about trees, plants, birds and insects. Mant people fail iu raising such crops us they expect and desire of cherries because of the lack of such cultivation as will keep up a fair degree of summer and winter moisture. Tub cherry tree does not transplant with safety or certainty late in spring; early in the season the tree transplants readily; but if dolsyed until tho buds havo opened mid the leaves havo started they do not handle at that stage like the apple tree. Borers may be deterred to a great extent from enter mg peach trees, if the earth is scraped away from the collar of the tree, and a few shovelfuls of coal ashes applied close to the tree. It prevents the moth of tho borer from laying her eggs in the bark. Coxcxk.ni.no the manner of planting a tree, nature gives us a correct example of the best position for it to grow, and it should be our aim to replace the roots of the tree in tho ground as nearly as possible in the same position as they were while growing in tho nursery row, Btra wherry plants that have borne twice or throe times can not yield fine fruit next year, although they may look large and capable. Chop them out as soon as picking is done, and thin tho young plants around them, leaving none nearer each other than from twelve to twenty inches. The first rear after thaorchard is planted out tho young trees make a large growth, and this is the time advised by a practical orchard 1st to prune and shape the trees. If you wait a few years you will have to cut off big limbs to shape the tree. Attend to trees while small. It la a light job then and does not injure them. Toe cureullo Is the greatest pest of the plum and peach orchards, and these excellent and popular fruits are no longer easily raised and profitable as they once were. The appiea also are greatiy Injured by the curcuho. Sometimes out of hundreds of barrets of apples only a few perfect specimens can bo found—that is. apples tree from knots and specks, the result of the bite of the curcuiio. OREIGN FIELDS OF LABOR.
