Below »« give the fourth of the series of discourses on the Iloly Land delivered by Kov. T. DeWitt Talmago , ' in Brooklyn and New York City. It is founded on. the text: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to jyriclra.-- Luke X.. tu. It is the morning of December ft, in Jerusalem, and we take stirrups for the road along which the wayfarer of old fell among thieves, who left him wounded nnd half dead. With the fresh memory of some recent violence in their minds, Christ tells the people -of the good Samaritan who came ukmf that way and took care of a poor fellow that had been set upon by villainous Arabs and robbed and pounded and cut We encamped for lunch that noon close by ah old stone building, said t» be the tavern where the scene spoken of in the Bible culminated. Tumbled in the dust and ghastly with wounds, the victim of the highway robbery lay in the middle of the road—a fact of which I was certain, because tho Bible says the people passed by on either side. There .were twelve thousand pries ts Jiving at Jericho, and they had to go to Jerusalem to officiate at the temple. And ode of these ministers of religion, it suppose, was on his way to the temple service, and he is startled its he sees this bleeding victim in the middle of the road, “Ob,” he says, “hero is a man that has been attacked of thieves.” “Why don’t you go home?” says the minister. The man in a comatose stato makes no answer or, with a’half-daaed look, puts * bis wounded hand to his. gashed forehead and drawls out “What?” “Well,” says the minister, “I must hurry on to my dutien at Jerusalem. I have to kill a lamb and two pigeons in sacrifice to-day. 1 can not spend any more time with this unfortunate. I guess somebody else will take care of him. But this is one of the things that can not be helped anyhow. Besides that, my business is with souls and not with bodies. Good morning! When you get well enough to sit up, I will be glad to see you at tho temple.” And the minister curves his way out toward tho overhanging sides of the road and passes. You hypocrite! One of the chief offices of religion is to heal „ wounds. You might have done here a kindness that would havo been more acceptable to God than all tho incense that will smoke up from your censor for the next three weeks and you missed the chance. Go on your way! Execrated by the centuries.

soon nitenvaru a ljevuo came upon the scene. The Levites looked after tho music of tho temple and waited upon the priests and provided tho supplies of the temple. This Lovite, passing along this road where we are to-day, took a look at the mass of bruises and laceration in the middle of the road. “My! myr’ says the Levite, “this man is awfully hurt, and ho ought to be helped. But my business is to sing in the choir at the temple. If 1 am not there no one will carry my part. Besides that, there may not be enough frankincense for tho censers, and the wine or oil may have given out, and what a fearful balk in the service that would make. Then one .of the priests might get his breast-plate on Crooked. But it seems too bad to leave this man in this condition. Perhaps I had better try to stanch this bleeding and give him a little stimulant. But, no! The ceremony at Jerusalem is of more importance'than taking care of the wounds of i, man who will probably soon be dead s.pyhow. This highway robbery ought to be stopped, for it hinders us Levites on our way up to the temple. There, 1 have lost five minutes already! “Go along, yon beast,” he shouts, as he strikes his heels into the sides of the animal carrying him, and the dust rising from the road soon hides the bard-hearted official. But a thiid person is coming along this road. You can not expect him to do any thing by way of alleviation, because ho anid-tlth wounded man belong to different nations which have abominated each other for centuries. The wounded man is an Israelite, and the stranger now coming on this scene of suffering is a Samaritan. They belong to nations which bated each other with an objurgation and malediction diabolic. They had opposition temples, one on Mount Gerizim and the other on Mount Moriah, and 1 guess this Samaritan when he comes up will give the fallen Israelite another clip and say: “Good for you! I will just finish tho work these bandits began, and give you ono more kick that will pat yon outrof your misery. And X here is a rag of your coat tbat they did not steal and I will take that. What! Do you dare to appeal to me for mercy? Hush np! Why, your ancestors worshiped at Jerusalem when tbey ought to have worshiped, at Gerizim. Now take that! And tbat! And that” will say the Samaritan as he pounds the fallen Israelite.

sue oa man tin riuos up to tne : scene of suffering, gets off the beast and steps down and looks into the face of the wounded man and says: “This poor fellow does not belong to my nation, and our ancestors worshiped in different places, but he is a man, and that makes us brothers. God pity him, as I do!” And he gets down on his knees and begins to examine, his wounds, and auu. uogius tu cAttiuiucaus wuuuuis »nu straighten out his Ilmm to see if any of his bones are broken, and soys: My dear fellow, cheer up, you need have no ■more care about yourself, for I am going to take care of you. Let me feel of your pulse! . Let me listen to your breaching! 1 hate in these bottles taro liquids that will help you. Tbe one is oil, and that will soothe tbe pain of these wounds,, and the other is wine, and your pulse is feeble and you foel faint, and that will stimulate you. Now, I must get you to the nearest tavern.” “Oh. no,” says the man. “1 can’t walk; let me stay here and die.” “Nonsense!” says the Samaritan. “You are not going todje. lam going to put you on this beast,' and 1 will hold yon on till I get you to a place where you can have a soft mattress and an easy pillow.” Now the Samaritan has got the wounded man on his feet, and with much tugging and lifting, puts him on the beast, for it is astonishing how strong the spirit of kindness will make one, as you have seen a mother after three weeks of sleepless watching of her boy, down with scarlet fever, lift that half-grown boy, heavier than herself, from conch to lounge. And no this sympathetic Samaritan baa, unaided, put the wound* ed man in the saddle, and at slow pace., the extemporised ambulance is moving toward the tavern. “You feel better now, I think.” says the «aroari*J

(Had* stone if he did not think that many who were under the shadow of false religions not nevertheless bo at heart Christian. Mf. Gladstone re1 “Yes? my ojd friend, fjord Napier, who was yesterday buried, after he returned from his Abyssinian'campaign, Visited us hero at Hawarden, ttnd, walking in this park where we are now walking, he told me a very bea rtiful incident He said: ‘After the war in Africa was over, wo were on the march, and We had a soldier with a broken leg who was not strong enough to go along with us, and we did not dare to leave him to hi hiked care of by the savages, but We found we were competed to leave hiin, 'add W6 went into the house of a worn ad, who was said to bo a Very kind woman, though ol' the race of savages and we said: "Eero is a sick man, and if you will take care Of him till he gets well We will pay you Very largely,” and then we offered her five times that which would ordinarily be offered, hoping by the excess of pay to secure for him great kindness. The woman replied: “I will .not take caro of him for the money you offer. I do not want your money. Hut leave him here, and II will take care of him for the sake of the lovo of God.” Mr. Gladstone turned to mo and said! "Dr. Taimago, don’t; yon think that though she belonged to a race of savages, that was pure religion?’’ And I answered: "1 do; J do.-'’ May God multiply all the world over the number of good Samaritans! In Philadelphia a young Woman Was dying. She was a wreck, Sunken into the depths of depravity, there was no lower depth for her to reach. Word come to (he midnight mission that she was dying in a haunt of iniquity near bv. Who would go to tell her of the Christ ol’ Mary Magdalen? This one refused, and that one refused, saying: “1 dare not go there.” A-Christian woman,' her white locks typical of her purity of soul, said: “I will go, and I will go now.” She went and sat down dying girl and told of the by the Christ who came to seek and save that which was lost First to the forlorn oho came the tears ot repentance, and then the smile as though she had begun to hope for the pardon of Him who came to save to the uttermost. Then, just before she breathed her last.

she said to the angel of mercy bending over her pillow: “Would you kiss mo?.” “I will,” said the Christian woman, as she put on her cheelt the last salutation before in the heavenly world, I think, God gave her the welcoming kiss. That was religion! Yes, that was religion. Good Samaritans along every street, and along every road, as well as this one on the road to Jericho.’ But our procession of sight-seers is again in line, and here we pass through a deep ravine, and I cry to the dragoman: “David, what place do you call this?” and' he replied: “This is the brook Cherith, where Elijah was fed by tho ravens.” And in that answer he overthre w my life-long notions Of the place where Elijah was waited on by tho black servants of the sky; A brook to me had meant a slight depression of ground and a stream fordable, and perhaps fifteen foet wide. But hero was a chasm that an earthquake must have scooped out with its. biggest shovel or split with its mightiest battleaxe. Six hundred feet doep is it, and tho brook Cherith is a river, which, when in full force, is a silver wedge, splitting the mountains into precipices. Tho feathered descendants of Elijah’s ravens still wing their way across this ravine, hut are not like the erows wo supposed them to ho. They are as large as eagles, and one of them could carry in its beak and clinched claw at ooee enough food, for a half dozen Elijahs. No thanks to the ravens; they are carnivorous, and would rather have picked out the eyes of Elijah, whom they found at the mouth, of his cave on the side of Cherith, waiting for his breakfast; having drunk his motning beverage from the rushing stream beneath, than have been his butlers. s^pcl purveyors. But God compeled them, as He has always compeled and always will compel black and cruel and overshadowing providences, to carry help to His children if they only have faith enough to catch the blessing as it dropped from the seeming adversity, the greatest blessing always coming, not with white wings, but black wings. Black wings of conviction bringing pardon to the sinner.' Black wings of crucifixion over Calvary, bringing redemption for the world, black wings oi American revolution bringing free institutions to a continent. Black wings of American civil war, bringing unification and solidarity to the republic. Black wings of the judgment clay, bringing resurrection to an entomted human race. And in the last day, when all your life and mine will be summed up, we will find that the greatest, blessing we ever received came on the wings of the black ravens of disaster. Bless God for trouble! Bless God for sickness! Bless God for persecution! Blpns'God for poverty! You never bonv-el'any man or woman of gceat uSe to the world who bad not JyiATots of trouble. The diamond tibust be cut. The wheat must lie threshed. The black ravens must fly. Who tire these nearest tho throne? “These are they who come out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.”

And I said, if all thin was by the blessing of God on poor music, what mightier things oould be done by the blessing of God on good music, skillful music, Gospel music. If all the good that has already been done by music were subtracted from the world, I holier® three-fourths of its religion would bo gone. The lullabys Of mothers which koep sounding on, though the lips that sang them forty years ago became ashes, tbe old hymns ih log-cabin churches, and country meeting-houses and psalms in House’s version in Scotch kirks the anthem in English ca thedrals the roll of organs that will never let Handel or Haydn or BeethoVen die, Ihe thrumb Of harps the sweep of tbe bow across bass viols the song of Sabbathschools storming tho heavens the doxology of great assemblage!)—why a thousand Jericbos of sin have by them all been brought down.

I said to myself: Minister) have been doing a grand work, and sermons have been blessed, but would it not be well for us lo put moro emphasis on music? - Oh, for a campaign of Old Hundred! Ob, for'a campaign of Mount Pisgahs! Oh, for a cavalry charge of Coronations! Oh, for an army of Antiochs and St. Martins and Ariels! Ob, for enough orchestral batons lifted, to marshal all nations! As Jericho was surrounded by pOoi1 intosib for seventy days and Was Contine red, so let our earth be surrounded seven days by good Gospel music, and the round planet will all be taken for God. Not a wall of opposition, not a throno of tyranny, not a palace of sin, not an enterprise of unrighteousness could stand the mighty throb of such atmospheric pulsation.’. Music! It sounded at tbe laying of creation’s cor-ner-stone when the morning stars sang together. Music! It will be the last reverberation when the archangel's trumpet shall wake the dead. Music! Let its full power be now tested to comfort and bless and arouse and save. ° While-bar evening meal is being prepared in the tents we walk out for a moment to tbe “Fountain of Elisha,’’ tho one into which the prophet threw the salt, because the waters were poisonous and bitter, and lo! they became sweet and healthy, and ever sine®, with gurgle and laughter, they have rushed down' the hill and leaped from the rooks, the only cheerful object in all that region being these waters.

And I heard the hoofs of its swift steeds, and the rumbling of its chariots, and the shouts of excited spectators in its amphitheater. And there was whito marble amid green groves of palm and balsam; cold stone warmed with sculptured foliage; bard pillars cut into soft lace; Iliads and Odysseys in granite, basalt jet as tbe night, mounted by carbunclo flaming as tbe morning; upholstery dyed as though dipped in tbe blood of battlefields; robes encrusted with diamonds; mosaics white as sea-foam flashed on by auroras; gayeties which the sun saw by day, rivaled by revels tbe moon saw by night; blasphemy built against the sky; ceilings stellar as the midnight heavens; grandeurs turreted, arcliiovolted and intercolnmnar; . wickedness so appalling that established vocabulary fails, and we most make an adjective and call it 1 Herodio.

ON FOREIGN SHORES. Operation! or Our Twine Trout In the Philippine I.lanrtJ—Trying For Month, to Freese Oat the Hemp Dealers in ManilaAn Extortionate Monopoly Meets With stern Opposition and Threats cl Lynch Law. ' The latest consular reports give some facts aboht the operations of onr hemp monopolists id the Philippine islands, in view or Senator DaVis’ attack on the binding .twiqo trust lit his speech in thb Senate, and in v ew farther of the vote bf fifteen Republicans with the Democrats.to put binding twine oil the free list, this report from the Philippine islands is of special interest at thin time. In his attack on the trust Senatot bavis said: 'The entire Bnsness, including the sources from which thai commodity is supplied is governed by a comb nation of all (or substantially all) the manufacturers of cordage and binding twine. That combination controls absolutely the raw material (sisal, jute, etc.,) in the places where it is grown, andKlso limits the product of- the manufactured art'elo and fixes it3 price. That combination consists of forty-two manufacturing Conipanies in the United States, ana seven or nine in Canada These companies are banded together by the cohesive force of a common interest. They are superior to all law. In the Fhillippine islands they limit and control the price of one-half of the raw material. and in Yucatan they control the other half. They have one man in New York to purchaso for them all, and a committee of three to limit the output and to fix the price.” The Senator also stated that tho profits of this trust are 40 per cent, and that this represented $4,000,000 profits, as the amount df twine Used on this year’s crop was $10,009; 000 worth; and he added that yet they came to Congress and said that they would shut up their mills and cease production unless they received the additional protection of Ifi cents per pound. “That all-comprehending, unsatisfied and extortionate monopoly”—such was the blasting epithet with which 'the Senator finished his denunciation of the trust Now let us turn to the Consular reports and see what the trust is doing in the Philippine Islands. These islands belong to Spain, and are situated to the southeast of China. The chief town, Manila, gives its name to the manila hemp, largely grown On these islands and extensively used.in this country and in England to make rope and twine. The commerce of these islands with the United States is so important ($6,403,090 worth of hemp sent us in 1880) that? our Government maintains a Consul at Manila This Consul is now Mr. A. R. Webb

ah mo wvu&uiur rcpviws are priuieu three reports from Mr. Webb in wh'ch there is some interesting news about the operations of onr “all-comprehend-ing, unsatisfied, and extortionate monopoly” in those distant islands. Mr. Webb reports, underdateof April 1, that there wasan almost complete blockade in the hemp market. The local dealers had 80,000 bales of hemp in storage which had cost them from £8.57 to $10.00 per 100 pounds. The National Cordage Company, of New York, had two English vessels in the harbor which had been lying there.for three months at a total extra cosij of $30,010 to the trustbecause it refused to buy, in the hope of beating down the price and compelling the local dealers to sell at a loss. One American vessel had been lying there since December 6. and another since January 4— all holding out for a decline in prices In this way the shipments to this country for the first three months of the year were only about one-th rd of the amount for the same time last year. On April 38 the Consul sent a second report to the State Department showing that the blockade still continued. He said that “many of the local dealers will undoubtedly be ruined unless they Can hold out Until the American and English syndicates Will pay the price asked.” A report had been in circulation in the islands to the effect that the syndicates have untold millions at their command and that they are determined to refuse to buy hemp until the price falls to 85 per 100 pounds. This report, says the Consul, had vividly affected the entire business community and had aroused a chivalrous sentiment in behalf of the weaker party to the fight among those who had ho direct pecuniary interest in it Accompanying the Consul’s report is an extract from the leading paper of Ma- j nila. This paper describes how the united syndicates had beaten the price of hemp down by $4.44 par 100 pounds, j and then says: ‘‘To the force of attack the force of resistance . opposes itself, and never was it more our ; duty than now to remind the Americans of their famous lynch law; hut in order to obtain the force of resistance ; cohesion and resolute prill are necessary, and a syndicate of buyers must be ■ met by a syndicate of sellers, and be- j fore our ruin that of our adversaries, i who in this have have taken the initi- | ative.” The Manila paper invents r. j new term of condemnation for our trust calling it the' dismal and clever combination of those, who, for their own private benefit, threaten wi th ruin the production of the hemp raiser." Consol Webb sends a third report under date of May 14, saying that the larger portion of the 100,000 bales of hemp in store atManilahad finally been sold at ten dollars per 100 pounds. This report Is accompanied with a second art.cle from the paper already quoted. The article betrays considerable soreness of feeling over the acts of “such prejudicial enterprises as the American syndic&tea”

-Is It Constitutional? , , In ah art cle on 'the tariff question Edward. Atkinson, the well-known economic writer, takes the ground that McKinley’s tariff bill, giving “protection with incidental revenue,” is uncon- : stitutional. In support of his view Mr. Atkinson ; quotes tho famous decision of Justice ! Miller, of the United States Supreme Court Th s decision will always bear to be quot'd and kept before the minds of tbe pooplot especially at a time like the present, when,protect on is growing more and more shameless in its robbery of the many for the enrichment of the few.

A LEVEL HEAD. The Advantage of Presence of Mind In an Eniergenej. During the late strike on the New York Central Railroad, th e militia were ordered to be in readiness in case of a riot, but the*' were not called out In an interview Gov. Bill said the troops were not to be called, upon except in case of an emergency. The emergency had not arisen, therefore they would not be ordered out. He -remarked that this was the first great strike with which he had had experience, and he did not propose to lose his head; the only point at which there had been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy-sheri It had lost his head and precipitated an enct unter. The strike continued several weeks, and there was riotous action at various points along the road, but the civil authorities were able to cope with it without calling on the militia. The test of a man’s real ability comes when an emergency arise s which makes a hasty call on his good judgment and discretion. The man who retail s his presence of mind, maintains his equip, ilse and exercises sound discretion at snch critical junctures, is to be relied on and will be put to the front. Men with level leads have the staying qualities which do not falter m the face of danger. Otis A. lole, of Kinsman, O , JunelO, 1890, write;: “In the fall of 1888 I was feeling very ill I consulted a doctor and he said I had Bright’s disease of the kidneys and that he would not stand in my shoes for .the state of Ohio,’’ But he did not lose courage oi-give up; he says: “I saw the testimonis 1 of Mr. John Coleman, 100 Gregory St, New Haven, Conn., and I wrote to him. In due time I received an answer, stating th t the testimonial that he gave was genuine aud not overdrawn in any particular. 1 took a good many bottles of Warner's Safe C are; have not taken any for one year.” Gov.

Insurance Against DUesM. In certain instances there hare been arrangements made between a physician and the head of a family that a fixed amount should be paid for each day the various members of the family continued in good health. But should sickness enter the household, the physician’s usual st pend was discontinues. Such an agreement is founded on common sense, for we don’t want to be made well, we want to be kept well. There is a great deal of unnecessary sickness resulting from a want of careful attention to bodily requirements. Keep the blood pure, keep the funetienal habits Of the body regular, counteract the effects of exposure by always having a bottle of Dr^John Bull’s Sarsaparilla fifth# household and. using it in anticipation of an ah tack of illness or when the very first symptoms are manifest. Disease will not ironble you if yod will heed this good advice.. It is an excellent preventive of disease aha decay, us well as a safe care.—Marion Banner. As to the industries of this country, what is keeping the carpet down is the tax on it. —Philadelphia Times. Deliverance 1 The shackles are strong, and forged by neglect, if liver complaint has enchained you. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters breaks them easily mid without loss of time. Pains in the right side, yellowness of the skin, constipation and dyspepsia attending biliousness, art) annihilated by this grand alterative. Incomparably useful is it, too, in rheumatism; malaria, debility and kidney complaints. Tub worth of a man is not increased by adding to; it the worth ol his money.—N. U. Picayune. Gratvtlle, Ixd., Feb. 2d, 1887. Dr. A. T. Shall enberger, Rochester, Pa. Dear Sir:—1 have used your Antidote for Malaria for over a quarter of a century and have found it to be in every respect all that you claim for it. It not only cures chilis and fever of every kind, but it is the best medicine I ever knew to build up the system when broken dowti from any cause. Respectfully yours, F. M. Bkowx. “There’s nothing like making a good impression,” remarked the burglar, as he took the iurnp of wrx from the lock. A great mistake perhaps was made when Dr. Sherman named his great remedy Prickly Ash Bitters; but it is presumed that at that time all remedies for the blood, etc., were called Bitters. Had he called it Prickly Ash “Regulator,” “Curative,” or almost anything but fitters, it undoubtedly would have superseded ail other preparations of similar character. The nameBtttersismisleading; it is purely a medicine, and cannot be used as a beverage.

The somerset-man at the circus seems to live by jumping his board.—Elmira Gazette. Owing to exposure I have been indisposed with acute rheumatism about six months. My skill failed to afford me relief and I was induced to try Bull's Sarsaparilla, and must confess that it entirely cured me. It is decidedly superior to all other preparations of Sarsaparilla.—B. B. Allen, M. D.. Brandon, Ky. Society dinners, horse-races, human events and love aro all matters of course.— Binghamton Leader. Ir veil are tired taking the large old fash ioned griping pills, try Carter’s Little Liver Pills and take some comfort. A man can’t stand everything. One pill a dose. Try them When a man and woman have been made ono the honeymoon is the time spent in endeavoring to discover which is that one.— Yonkers Statesman. Dobbins’ Electric Soap does not chap the hands, being perfectly pure. Many people afflicted with Salt Rheum have been cured by its Use. Preserves and whitens clothes Have your grocer order it and try it now. The summer girl may disappear with the season, but the remembrance of her is a joy forever. When medicine is given a child, parents like to feel it is a safe and proper one. Such a remedy is Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroyers. -:-<-.4.-i-Tin: tramp tvTio works has no professional pride.—Ram's Horn.

Why does this man stare so ? He is simply listening to the marvelous cures effected by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. The following case illustrates: In all bronchial, throat and lung affections, lingering coughs, spitting of blood, weak lungs and kindrec ailments, the “Discovery” effect the most marvelous cures. February 14th, 1890. World’s Dispensary Medical Association. Buffalo, N. Y.: Gentlemen—A remarkable case has occurred In our territory. J. N. Berry, a man about thirty years of age, was going down rapidly. He tried physician after physician, patent medicines, home receipts—in fact, everything He went to a noted sanitarium and returnee no better. We all thought he was dying witt consumption, and only a few weeks of life were left for him. He commenced “Golden Medical Discovery,” and at the same time commenced t< mend. He has used about two dozen bottles and Is still using it. He has gained in weight color and strength, and is able to do ligfr work. It Is just such a case as we ahouk have listened to rather suspiciously, hut whei we see it we must believe it. It has trebled our sales of “ Golden Medica Discovery.” _ JOHN HACKETT A SON, Druggists, Roanoke, Ind ]
