4 Last Look at Jerusalem and Exit Therefrom Thm«(h the Danmu Gate-A Kl|ht at Uethrl and the Story It Here:Is. Following is the seventh discourse ot the serios on the Holy Land by Rev. T. DeWitt Talraage, dolivered in Brookyn and ;Now York City, from the text: So I lilted up mine eyes the way toward the aortli.—Ezekiel flit, k j At one o’clock on a December afternoon, through Damascus gate, we are passing out of Jerusalem for a journey homeward. Ho! for Bethel with its stairs, the bottom step of which was a stone pillow, and Jacob’s Well with its immortal coilaquy, and Nazareth with its Divine boy in his father’s carpenter shop, and the most glorious lake that ever rippled or flashed: llluc GallteA, sweet Galilee, The lat e where Jesus loved to bos and Damascus with its crooked street called Straight, and a hundred places charged and surcharged with apostolic, evangelistic, prophetic, patriarchal, kingly and Christly reminiscences. In traveling along the roads of Palestine, 1 am impressed as I could not otherwise have been, with the tact that Christ for the most part went afoot. * Wo find Ilim occasionally on a boat, and once riding in a triumphal procession, as it is sometimos called, although it seems to me that the hosannas of the crowd could not have made a ride on a stubborn unimpressive and funny creature like that which pattered with Him into Jerusalem, very much of a triumph. But we are mado to understand that generally He walked. How much that

means only tnose Know woo nave gone over the distance traversed by Christ. We ■; are accustomed to read that Bethany is two miles from Jerusalem. Well, any man in ordinary' health can walk two miles without fatigue. But not more than one man out of a thousand can walk from Bethany to Jerusalem without exhaustion. It is over the Mount of Olivos, and you must climb up among the rolling "stones and descend where exertion is necessary to keep you from falling prostrate. I. who am accustomed to walk fifteen or twenty miles without lassitude, tried part of this road over the Mount of Olives, and confess 1 would not want to try it often, aucli demand does it make upon one’s physical energios. Yet Christ walked it twice a day—in the morning from . Bethany to Jerusalem, and in the evening from Jerusalem to Bethany. Likewise it seemed a small thing that Christ walked from Jerusalem to Nazareth. But it will take us fourdays of bard horseback riding, sometimes on a trot and sometimes on a gallop, to do it this week. The way is mountainous in the extreme. To those who went up to ihe Tip-Top House on Mount Washington, before the railroad was laid, 1 will say that this journey from Jerusalem 'to Nazareth is like seven such American journeys. So, up and down and across and recro-siag Palestine, Jesus walked. Ahab rode, David rode, Solomon rode, Hcstnl rode, Antony rode. But Jesus walked. With swollen ankles, and sore m ukeies of the bruised heel, ard Stiff joints, and panttn|^4iyip> and faint head, along the roads, antKuhore^ J.hore were no roads at all, Jesus walked. ^ We tried to get a new horse other than that on which we had ridden on the journey to the Dbad Sea, for he had JfHflts which our close acquaintanceship had developed. But after some experimenting with other quadrupeds of that species, and finding all horses, like their riders, have faults, wo concluded to choose a saddle on that beast whose faults we wore most prepared to pity or resist We rode down through the valley and then up on Mount Scopus and. as our dragoman tells us that this is the last opportunity wo shall have of looking at Jerusalem, wo turn our horse’s head towards tho city and tako a long, sad and thrilling look at tho religious capital of our planet This is the most impressive view of tho most ■j tremendous city of all time: On and around this hill the armies 6 of the Crusaders at the first sight of tho city throw themselves on their faces in worship. Hero most of the besieged armies encamped tho night before opening their volleys of doath against Jerusalem. Our last look! Farewell, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount of ^Olives, Mount Calvary! Will we never see them again? Never. The world is so large and timers so short, and there are so many things we have never soon at all, that we can not afford to duplicate visits or sec any thing more than once. Farewell, yonder thrones of gray rock, and the three thousand years of architecture and battle-fields. Farewell, sacred, saguinary. triumphant, humiliated Jerusalem!. Across this valley of tho Kedron with my right hand I throw theo a kiss of valedictory. Our last look, tike our first look, an agitation of body, mind and soul, indoscrib

And now, like Ezekiel in my text, I lift op mine eyes the way toward the north. Near hero was one of the worst tragedies of the ages mentioned in the Bible. A hosDitablo old man coming home at eventide from his work in the fields finds two strangers, a husband and wife, proposing to lodge in the street because no shelter is offered them, and invites them to come in and spend the night in his home. During the night the ruffians of the neighborhood conspired together and surrounded the house, and left the woman dead on the doorstep, and the husband, to rally in revenge the twelve tribes, cut tbo corpse of the woman into twelve parts, and sent a twelfth of it to each tribe, and the fury of the nation was roused, and * peremptory domand was made for the surrender of the assassins, and the demand refused. In ono day twenty thousand people were left dead on the'field, and the next day eighteen thousand. Wherever our horso to-day plants his foot in those ancient times a corpse lay, and the roads were crossed by red rivulets of carnage. Nov we pass on whoro seven youths were pot to death and their bodies gibbeted or hung in chains, not for any thing they find themselves done, but as a reparation for what their father and grandfather^ Saul had done. Burial was denied these youths from May until November. Rispafa, the mother of two of these dead hoys, appoints herself as sentinel to guard the seven corpses from beak of raven, and tooth of wolf and p«w of lion. She pitched a black tent on the Kick close by the gibbets. Rizpah? by day, sits on the ground in front of her tent, and when a vulturo begins to lower out of the noonday sky seeking its prey among the gibbets, Rizpah rises, her long hair flying in the wind, and, swinging her arms wildly about, shoos away the bird of prey until it retreats to iits eyrie. At night she rests under the shadow of her tent, and sometimes falls into a drowsiness or half sleep But the step of a jackal among the dry leaves, «r the panting of a hyena, arouses her, and with the fury i manioc she rushes out upon the ; crying: "As'ay! Awsy” snd then, the gi bbets to she that they their burden, returns again swooping wing litskj, or some growltbs rook sgsin wskss

tember and Painters the scone and tag the hawks July, August, Sep- ■! What a vigill led to put upon canvas succeeded In sketch* in the aky and the panthers crawling out from the jungle, but they fail to give the wanness, the earnestness, the supernatural courage, the infinite self-sacrifice of Kispah, the mother. A mother in the quiet home watching by the casket of a dead child for one night exerts the artist to his utmost, but who is sufficient to put upon canvas a mother for six months of midnights guarding her whole family, dead and gibbeted upon the mountains? Oo home, Rixpab I You mast be awfully tired. You aie sacrificing your reason and your life for those whom you ean never bring back again to your bosom. As I say that,from the darkest midnight of the century, Bizpah turns Upon me and cries: “Bow dare you to tell me to go home? 1 am a mother. 1 am not tired. You might as well expect God to get tired sis for a mother to get tired. 1 cared for those boys When they lay upon tny breast ta infancy, and I will not forsake them now that they are dead, Interrupt me not There stoops an eagle that. I must drive back with my agonised cry. There is a panther I must beat back with my club.” Do you know what that scene by our roadside in Palestine makes me think of? It is no unusual scene. Right here in these three cities by the American sea coast there are a thousand cases at this moment worse than that Mothers watching boys that the rum saloons, that annex of hell, has gibbeted in n living death. Boys hung 'in chains of evil habit they can not break. The father may go to sleep after waiting nntil 13 o'clock at night for the ruined boy to coino home, and giving it up he may say: “Mosher, come to bed; there’s no use setting up any longer.” But mother will not go to bed. It is 1

Dead to his father’s entreaties. Dead to bis mother's prayers. Dead to the family alltar where he was reared. Dead to tho noble ambitions that once inspired him. Twice dead. Only a corpse of what he once was. Gibbeted before God and man and angels and devils. Chained in a death that will not loosen its cold grasp. His father is asleep his brothers are asleep his sisters aro asleep bnt his mother is watching him, watching him in the night. After he has gone to bed and fallen into a drunken sleep bis mother will go up to his room and see that he is properly covered, and before she turns out the light will put a kiss upon his bloated lips. “Mother, why don’t you go to bed?” “Ah!” she says, “I can not go to bed. I am Rixpah watching the slain!” ■* But I must spur on our Arab steed, and here we come in sight of Beeroth, said to be the place where Joseph and Mary missed the boy Jesus on the way from Jerusalem to Kaxareth, going home now from a great national festival. ‘'Whore is my child Josus?” says Mary. “Where is my child Jesus?” says Joseph. Among the thousands that are returning from Jerusalem they thought that certainly He was walking on in the crowd. They described Him, saying: “He is twelve years old, and of light complexion and blue eyes. A lost child!" Ureat excitement in all the crowd. Nothing so stirs foUK-SsTfie 'hews that a clnfti'TS'iost. I shall not forget the see i.o when in a great outdoor meeting I was preaching and some one stepped on the platform and said that a child was lost. We went on with tbo religious service, but all our minds were on tho lost child. After awhile a man brought on the platform a beautiful litltle tot that looked like a piece of Heaven dropped down, and said: “Hero is that child.” And I forgot all ‘that I was preaching about, and lifted tbe child to my shouldei and said: “Hero is the lost child, and the mother will come and get her right a way, or I will take her borne and add her :,o my own brood!” And some cried and some shouted, and amid all that crowd I instantly detected tbe mother. Every body bad to get out of her way or be walked over. Hats were nothing, and shoulders were nothing, and heads were nothing in her pathway, and I realized something of what must have been Mary’s anxiety when she lost Jesus, and what her gladness a bon she found her hoy in the Temple of Jerusalem, talking with those old ministers of religion Shammai, Hillel and Iletirah. I hear down on you to-day with a mighty comfort Mary and Joseph said: “Where is our Jesus?” and you say: “Where is John? or where is Henry? or where is George?” Well, I should not wonder if you found him after awhile. Where? In the same place where Joseph and Mary found their hoy—in tho temple. What do I mean by that? I mean, yon do your duty toward God and toward your child, aud you will find him after awhile in tho kingdom of Christ Will you say “I do not have any way of influencing my chijd.” I answer you have the most tremendous line of influence open right 1)efore you. As you writo a letter, and there are two or three routos by which it may go, but you want it to go the quickest route, and you put on it “via Southampton,” or “via San Francisco,” or “via Marseilles,” put on your wishes about your child, “via the throne of God.” How

long1 will such a good wish take to get to its destination? Not quite as long as the millionth part of a second. I will prove it. The promise is: “Before they call 1 will answer.” That means at your first motion' toward such prayerful exercise the blessing will come, and if tbt. prayer be made at ten o’clock at night it will be answered five minutes before ten. “Before they call I will answer.” Well, you say, I am clear discouraged about my son, and I am getting on in years, and I fear I will not live to see him converted. Perhaps not, nevertheless 1 think you will find him in the temple, the heavenly tomple. There has not been an heur in Heaven the last one hundred year when parents in glory had not had announced to them the salvation of. children whom they left in this world profligate. We often have to say: “1 forgot,” but God has never yet once said “I forgot” It may be after the grass of thirty summers have greened the top of your grave that your son mqy be found in the earthly temple. It may be fifty years from now when, some morning, the towers are ehiming the matins of the glorified in Heaveff that you shall find him in the higher temple whieh has “no need of candle or of sun, for the Lord God and the Lamb are the light thereof.” Cheer up, Christian father and mother! Cheer upl Where Joseph and Mary found their boy yon will find youru—in the temple. You see, God could not afford to do otherwise. One of the things He has positively promised in the Bible is that He will answer earnest and believing prayer. Fa iling to do that He would wreck His own throne, and the foundations of His palace would give way, and the bank of Heaven would suspend payment, and the dark word "repudiation” would! he written across the sky, and the Eternal Government would bo disbanded, and God Himself would be

Wheel Wheat We dismount In this place, memorable for many things in Bible history, the two more prominent a theological seminary, where of old they made ministers, and for Jacob's dream, The students of this Bethel Theological Seminary Were called “Sons of the Prophets.” Here the young men Were fitted for the ministry, and these Of Us who ever had the advantage oil slictt . institutions will everlastingly be grateful, and ih the calendar Of saidts, Which I read with especial, affection, are the doctors of divinity who blessed me with their care.

I hail their coming' ahd tell these young brothers to shake ofl the somnolence of centuries, and get out from under the dusty shelves of theological discussions which have no practical bearing on this age, which needs to gft rid of its sins and have its sorrows comforted. Many of our pulpits are dying of humdrum. Peoplejio not go to church because they can not endure the technicalities and profound explanations of nothing, and sermons about tho “eternal generation of the Son,” and the difference between sublapsariantam and supralapsarism, and about who Melchisideck wasn't. There ought to be as much difference between the inodes of presenting truth now and in olden time,' as between a

llgntnmg express rail-tram ana a canal boat Years ago, I went up to the door of a factory in New England. On the outside door I saw the words: “No, admittance.” I went in and came to another door tjver which were written the words: “no admittance.” Of course I wont in, and came to the • third door inscribed with the words “no admittance.” Having entered this, I found tho people inside making pins, useful pies and nothing but pinst Bo over the outside door of many of the churches has been practically written the words, “no admittance." Somiewbave entered, and have come to the. inside door and found the words, “ho Admittance.” But persisting, they have come inside, and found us sounding out our little niceties of belief, pointing out our-little difference of theological sentiment—making pins! But most distinguished was Bethel for that famous dream which Jacobhad, his head on a, collection of stones. He had no trouble in this roeky region in finding a rocky pillow. There is hardly any thing els* but stone. Yet the people of those lands have a way of drawing their outer garment up over- „noir head and face, and such a pillow I suppose Jacob had under his head. Tire plural, was used in the Bible story, and you will find it 'Vas not • pillow of stone, but of sjjbnes, I suppose, so that if one jpfbrei to be of uneven surface he-Vould turn over in the night and take another stone, for with sjirh- a' hard bolster he would often change in the night Well, that night God built in Jacob’s dream a long splendid ladder, the feet of it on either side of the tired pilgrim’s pillow, and the top of it mortised in the sky. And bright immortals came out from t,hc castles of amber and gold and put theii shining feet on the shining rungs of the ladder, and they kept coming down and going up. a procession both ways. I suppose they had wings, for the Bible almost always reports them at having wings, but this was a ladder or which they used hands and feet to en courage all those of us who have n< wings to climh, and encouraging us t< believe that, if we will use what wc have, God will provide a way, and if wc will employ the band and the foot. He will furnish the ladder. Young man, do not wait for wings! Those angels folded theirs to show you wings are not necessary. Let all the people whe have hard pillows—hard for sickness oi hard for ]>overty or hard for persistence—know that a hard pillow is the landing place of angels. They seldom descend to pillows of eider down. They seldom build dreams in the brain of the one who sleeps easy. The greatest dream of all time was that of St John with bis head on th< rocks of Patinos, and in that vision li* heard the seven trumpets sounded, anil saw all the pomp of Heaven in procession cherubic, seraphic, archangelic. The next most memorable and glorious dream was that of John Bunyan, his pillow the cold stone of the floor of Bedford jail, from which be saw the coles tial city, and so many entering it, he cried but in bis dream: “I wish myself among them.” The next mos: wonderful dream was that ' o! Washington sleeping on the ground at Valley Forge, his head on a white pillow-case of snow, where he saw, the vision of a nation emancipated. Columbus slept on a weaver's pillow, but rose on the ladder let down until he could see a mew hemisphere. Demosthenes slept on a cutter’s pillow, but on the ladder let down arose to see the mighty assemblages that were to be swayed;by his oratory. Arkwright slept on a barber's pillow, but went up the ladder till he could see all England aquakc

with the lactones be set going. A Kenside slept on a butcher's pillow and took tbe ladder np till be saw other gen-, orations helped by his scholarship John Ashworth slept on a poor man’s pillow, but took the ladder up until he could see his prayers and ekertions bringing thousands of the destitute in England to salvation and Heaven Nearly all those who are to-day great in merchandise, in statesmanship, in law, in medicine. In art, in literature, were once at the toot of tbe ladder, and in the their boyhood had a pillow as hard as Jacob’s. They who are horn at the top of the ladder are apt to spend their lives in coming down, while those who are at the foot, and their head on a bowlder, if they have the right kind of dream, are almost sure to rise. 1 notice that those angels, either in coming down or going up on Jaoob’s ladder, took it rung by rung. They did not leap to the bottom nor jump to the top So you are to rise. Faith added to faith, good deed to good deed, industry to industry, consecration to consecration, until yon reach the top, rung by rang. Gradual going np from a block of granite to pillar of throne. That night at Bethel I stood in front of my tent and looked up and the heavenn were full of ladders, first a ladder of clouds, then a ladder of stars, and all up and down the heavens were angels of beauty, ang&ls of consolation, angels of God, ascending and descending. “Surely God is in this place,” said Jacob, “ii,nd I knew It not.” But to-night God la in this place, and 1 know it!” —The Epworth League, the Young People's Union of the Methodist church, which was only organised Juno l, 1889, now has 8,500 chapters and 350,000 members.

A TRAINED TARANTULA. The Strange ret Educated by a HalfSteed Mexican Bay. A half-breed boy of Mexican and Indian blood recently attracted much attention at Winslow, Ari*-i by the performances of att educated tarantula be Owns. He carries the bigi formidablelooking Insect in a large wooden box slung about his neck, which, when exhibiting his pet, he places on the I ground as a sort of stage. 1 At the command of its inaster the tarantula mounted a small ladder, rung a bed! and performed a miniature trapeze. TheUi to the thumping of a tambourine in the hands of the boy, it proceeded to revolve slowly abdut, as if waltzing, and when it had finished saluted the orowd by lifting one leg three times. After its performance was over it crawled to its master's shoulder, where it sat, Occasionally running around his neck or down into his bosom. The boy says he tamed the spider when It was young, first by feeding it every day until it grew accustomed to him, then gradually taught it the tricks it knows. He declares that it is much more intelligent than any dog, and very tractable, though uncompromising in its enmity to any one but himself. It is as large as a silver dollar when curled up, though its legs are two or three inches long. The body is an ugly dull brown, covered with short, coarse black hair, which also covers the limbs, bpWs very sparse and bristly. The eyes'are small and gleam like diamond points, while the mouth is furnished with slender, overlapping fangs. The power of spring in these creatures is said to: be something incredible, a leap of ten feet being no tremendous exertion. The boy, who owns the only one who has ever made friends with any other living creature, is from the Mogollon mountains, lying south of here six miles.

MINIATURE MESSAGE. Joampj of mu Inscribed Postage Stamp from Louisville to Pittsburgh. 1 Graham C. Richards, a well-known Scotch-Irishman, prominent during the late congress of his race, was a few days ago the recipient of one of the oddest epistles that probably ever passed through the United States mails, says the Pittsburgh Times. Mr. Richards lives on Watson street, near Tunnel, and is a clerk by vocation. During the Scotoh-Irish congress ho made tnaity friends from localities far distant, and among these was Malcolm H. McBfenzie, of Louisville, Ky. These two gentlemen had many agreeable conversations, and in the course of one of these Mr. McKenzie offered to bet his Pittsburgh friend that a common postage stamp, properly directed, and wi^iout any envelopo appended, could be sent through the mails to its destination. Mr. Richards accepted the bet, and as no more was said on the subject he forgot the whole transaction. Thursday morning, however, the postman left with many grins what he called a “letter” for Mr. Richards. The “letter” was nothing more than a two-oent postage stamp. On the gummed Bide was written in tiny characters the address, “Graham C. Richards, Watson Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.” Below came the message: “All well. The bet is mine. McKenzie.” This extraordinary communication Was hard to decipher, as some ruthless official had stamped a post-mark clear over tho message. A more extended letter was subsequently received by Mr. Richards from the enterprising Louisvillian, telling him to devote tho money pending on the bet to the interests of tho Scotch-! rish -ssociation.

How far is the regular physician useful to us because we believe iniiim, and how far are his pills and powders and tonics only the material representatives of his personal influence on our health! The regular doctors core; the homoepathic doctors cure; the Hahnemannites cure; and so do the faith cures and the mind cures, and the so-called Christian scientists, and the four-dollar-anda-half advertising itinerants, and the patent medicine men. They all hit, and they all miss, and the great difference—one great difference—in the result is that when the regular doctors lose a patient no one grumbles, and when the irregular doctors lose one the community stands on end and howls.—Rochester Union and Advertiser. ,: Nature cures, but nature can he aided, hindered or defeated in the curative process.

-ir" A Poverty-stricken Millionaire! This seems a paradox, bnt it is explained by one of New York’s richest men. “I don’t count my wealth'in dollars,” he said. “What are all my possessions to me, since I am a victim of consumption ? My doctor tells me that I hare but a few months to live, for the disease is incurable. I am poorer than that beggar yonder.” “But,” interupted the friend to whom he spoke, “consumption can be cured. If taken in time, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will eradicate every vestige of the disease from vour system.” “I’ll try it,” said the millionaire, and he did; and to-day there is not a healthier, happier man to be found anywhere. The “Discovery” strikes at the seat of the complaint. Consumption is a disease of the blood—is nothing more nor less than lung-scrofula—and it must and does yield to this wonderful remedy. “Golden Medical Discovery” is nat only an acknowledged remedy for that terribly fatal malady, when taken in time and given a fair trial, but also for all forms of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases, as White Swellings, Feversores, Hip-joint Disease, Sidt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas and kindred ailments.
