The following' discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn Aeademy of Music and also in the New York Academy of Music, from the text: Come.—Genesis, vl, IS and Revelations, xxii., 17. „ j Imperial, tender and all-persuasive is this word “Come.” Six hundred and seventy-eight times is it found in the Scriptures. It stands at the front gate of the Bible as in my tlrst text, inviting antediluvians into Noah's ark, and it stands at the oj:her gate of the Bible as in my second text, inviting the postdiluvians into the ark of a Saviour's mercy. ‘-Come” is only a word of four letters, but it is the queen of words, and nearly the entire nation of English vocabulary bows to its scepter1. It is an ocean into which empty ten thousand rivers of meaning. , Other' words drive, but this beckons. All moods of feeling hath that word “Come,” Sometimes it weeps and sometimes it laughs. Sometimes it prays, sometimesit tempts and sometimes it destroys. It sounds from the door of the church and from the seraglios o:f sin, Irom the gates of Heaven and the gates of hell. It is confluent and accrescent of all power. "It is the heiress of most of the past and the almoner of most of the future. ‘Come!’-’ You may pronounce it so that all the hea vens will be heard in its cadences, or pronounce it so that all the woes of time and eternity shall reverberate in its one syllable. It is on the lip of saint and profligate. It; is the mightiest of all solieitants either for good or bad. . To-day I weigh anchor, and haul ip the planks, and set sail on that great world, although I am sure I will not be able to reach the further shore. I wijl let down the fathoming line into this ; sea and try to measure its depths. -w=4r though I tie together all the cables and cordage I have on board, 1 will not be able to touch bottom. All the power of the Christian religion is in that word —“Come.” The dictatorial and com- ■ mandatory in religion is of no avail. Tire imperative mood is not the appropriative mood when we would have people savingly impressed. They may be coaxed, but they can not be driven. Our hearts are like pur homes; at a friendly knock the door will be opened; but an attempt to force open onr door would land the assailant in prison. Our theological seminaries, which keep young men three years in their curriculum

before launching them into the ministry, will do well if in so short a time they can teach the candidates for the Holy Office how to say with right emphasis and intonation and power that one word—“Come!” That man who has such efficiency in Chrisitian work, and that woman who has such power to persuade people to quit the wrong and begin the right, went through a series of losses, bereavements, persecutions and the trials of twenty or thirty years before they could make it a triumph of grace fcvery time they uttered the word, “Come.” “You must remember that in many cases our “Come” has a mightier “Come” to conquer before it has any effect at all. .lust give me the accurate census, the statistics, of how many are down in fraud, in drunkenness, in gambling, in impurity, or in vice of any sort, and I will give you the accurate census or statistics of how many have been slain by the word ‘"Come.” “Come and click wine-glasses with me at this ivory bar.” “Come and see what we can win at this gaming t%ble.” “Come, enter with me this doubtful speculation!” “Come with me and read those infidel tracts on Christianity.’* “Come with me to a place of bad amusement.” “Come with me in a gay bout through underground New York.” If in this city there are twenty thousand who are down in moral character, then twenty thousand fell under the power of the word “Come.” I was reading of a wife whose husband had been overthrown by strong drink, and she went to the saloon where he was ruined, and she said: “Give me back my husband.” And the bartender, pointing to a maudlin and battered man drowsing in the corner of the bar room, said: “There he is; Jim, wake up; here's your wife come for you.” And the woman said: “Do you call that my husband? What have you been doing with him? Is that the manly brow? Is that the clear eye? Is that the noble heart that I married? What vile drug have you given him that has turned him into a fiend? Take your tiger claws off of him.! Uncoil those serpent folds of evil habit that are crushing him. Give me back my husband, the one with whom I stood at the altar ten years ago. Give him back to me.” Victim was he, as millions of others have been, of the won! “Come!” Now, we want all the world over to harness this word for good as others have harnessed it for evil, and it will draw the five continents and the seas between them, yea, it will draw the whole earth back to the God from whom it has wandered. It is that wooing and persuasive word that will lead men to give up their sins. Was skepticism ever brought into love of the truth by an ebulition of hot words against infidelity? Was ever the blasphemer stopped in his oaths by denunciation of blasphemy? Was ever a drunkard weaned from his cups by the temperance lecturer’s mimicry of staggering step and hiccough? No. It was "Come with me to church to-day and hear our singing:;” “Come and let me introduce you to a Christian man whom you will bi sure to admire:” “Come with me into associations that arc cheerful and good and inspiring;” “Come with me into joy, such as you never liefore ex

pcrituucu. With that word which has done so much for others I approach you to-day. Are you all right with God? “No,” you say, “I think not; I am sometimes alarmed when I think of Dim; 1 fear I will not be ready to meet Hiin in the last day; my heart is not light with God.” Come, then, and have it made right. Through the Christ who died to save you, come! What is ’the use of waiting? The longer you 'wait the farther off you are and the deeper you are down. Strike out for Heaven! Yon remember that a few years ago a steamer called the Princess Alice with a crowd of excursionists aboard sank in the Thames, and there was an awful sacrifice of life. A boatman from the j shore put out for the rescue, and he had a big boat, and he got it so full that it would not hold another person, and as he laid hold of the oars to pull for the shore, leaving hundreds helpless and drowning, he cried put: “Oh, that 1 had a bigger boat!” Thank God I am not thus limited, and that I can promise room for all in this gospel boat. Get in; get in! And yet there is room. Room in the heart of a pardoning God. Room to Heaven. I also apply the word of my text to who would like practical comfort, j scape the struggle of life, j them. They art not mg the prosperops classes. wm a struggle all the >

-— - way up till they reached the prosperity, and since they have reached these heights there have been perplexities, anxieties and crises which were almost enough to shatter the nerves and turn the brain. It would be hard to tell which have the biggest fight in this world—the prosperities or the adversities, the conspicnities of the obscurities. Just as soon as you have enough success to attract the attention of others, the envies and jealousies are let loose from their kennel. The greatest erime that you can commit in the estimation of others is to get on better than they do. They think your addition is their subtraction. Five hundred persons start for a certain goal of success; one reaches it and the other four hundred and nine-ty-nine are mad. It would take volumes to hold the story' of the wrongs, outrages and defamations that have come upon you as a result of your success. The warm sun of prosperity brings into life a swampful of annoying insects. On the other hand, the unfortunate classes. have their struggles for maintenance. To achieve livelihood by one who had nothing to start with, and after awhile for a family as well, and carry this on until children are reared and educated and fairly started in the world, and to do this amid all the rivalries of business, and the uncertainty of crops, and the fickleness of tariff legislation,

with an occasional labor strlKe ana here and there a financial panic thrown in, is a mighty thing to do, and there are hundreds and thousands such heroes and heroines who live unsung and die unhonored. What we all need, whether up or down in life or half-way between, is the infinite solace of the Christian religion. And so we employ the word—“Come!” It will take all eternity to find out the number of business men who have been strengthened by the promises of God, and the people who have been fed by the ravens when other resources gave out, and the men and women who, going into this battle armed only with needie or saw, or axe, or yardstick, or pen, or type, or shovel, or shoe-last, have gained a victory that made the heavens resound. With all'the resources of God promised for every exigency, no one need to be left in the lurch. - I like the faith displayed years ago in Drury Lane, London, in an humble home where every particle of food had given out. and a kindly soul entered with tea and other table supplies, and found a kettle on the fire ready for the tea. The benevolent lady said: “How is that you have the kettle ready for the tea when you had no tea in the house?” And the daughter in the house said: “Mother would have me put the-ket-tle on the fire, and when 1 said ‘what is the use of doing so, when we have nothing in the house?" she said ‘my child, God will provide: thirty years He has already provided for me through all my pain and helplessless, and He will not leave me to starve at last. He will send us help though we did not yet see how.'' We have been waiting all the day for something 'to come, but until we saw you we knew not how it was to eome.’ Such things the world may call coincidence, but I call them almighty deliverances and, though yon do not hear of them, they are occurring every hour of every day in all parts of Christendom. Hut the word “Come” applied to those who need solace will amount to nothing unless it be uttered by some one who has experienced that solace. That spreads the responsibility of giving His gospel call among a great many. Those who have lost property and been consoled by religion in that

trial are the ones invite those ,who have failed in business. Those who have lost their health and been consoled by religion are the ones to invite those who are' in poor health. Those who have had bereavements and been consoled in those bereavements are the ones tosym- ■ pathize with those who have lost father, or mother, or companion, or child, or friend. What multitudes of us are alive to-day, and in good health and buoyant in this journey of life, who would have been broken down or dead long ago but for the sustaining and cheering help of our holy religion! So we say—“Come!” The well is not dry. The buckets are pot empty. The supply is not exhausted. There is just as much mercy and condolence and soothing power iq God as before the first grave was dug, or the first tear started, or the first heait broken, or the first accident happened, or the first fortune vanished. Those of who have felt the consolatory power of religion have a riglft to speak out of our own . experiences, and say—“Come !” What dismal work of condolence the world makes when it attempts to con - dole! The plaster they spread does not stick. The broken bones under their bandage do not knit. A farmer was lost in the snow-storm on a prairie in the far West, Night coming on, anti after he was almost frantic from noli knowing which way to go, his sleigh struck the rut of another sleigh, and he said: “I will follow this rut, and it wil l take nfie out to safety.” He hastened on until he heard the bellsof the preceding horses, but, coming up, he found that that man was also lost, and, as is the tendency of those who are thus con - fused in the forest or on the moors, they were both moving in a circle and the runner of the one lost sleigh was following the runneir of the other lost sleigh round and round. ^ At last it occurred to them to look at the north star, which was peering through the night, and by the direction of that star they got home again. Those who follow the advice of this world in time of perplexity are in a fearful round, for it is one bewildered soul following another bewildered soul, and only those who have in such time got their eye on the morning star of ouir Christian faith can find their way out, or be strong enough to lead others with an all-persuasive invitation. “But,” says some one, “you Christian people keep telling us to ‘come,’yetyou do not tell us how to come.” That charge shall not be true on this occasion. Come believing! Come repenting! Come praying! After all that God has been doing for six thousand years, sometimes through patriarchs and sometimes through prophets, and at last through the culmination of all tragedies on Golgotha, can any one think that God will not welcome your coming? Will a father at vast outlay construct a mansion for his son, and lay out parks white with statues and green with foliage, and all a-spjjrkle with fountains, and then not allow his son to live in the house, or walk in the parks? .Has God built this house of Gospel mercy, and will 11^ then refuse entrance to His children? Will a government at great expense build lifesaving stations all along the coast anti boats that can hover unhurt like a petrel over the wildest surge, and then,, when the life-boat has reached the wreck of a ship in the offing, not allow the drowning to seize the life-line or take the boat for the shore in safety? Shall God provide, at the cost of His only Son’s assassination, escape for it sinking world, and then turn a deaf ear to the cry that comes up from the breakers? “But,” you say, “there are so many things I have to believe and so many j things in the shape of a creed that I | have to adopt that 1 am kept back.” “Hoi Ml You 9*4 Wtow buttwci

things; namely, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and that von are one of them. “But,” yon say, “I do helievc both of those things!” “Do yon,, really, believe them with all your heart? ‘■Yes,” Why, then, yon have .passed from death into life. Why, then, yon are a son or a daughter of the Lord Almighty. Why, then, yon are an heir or an heiress of an inheritance that will declare dividends from now until long after the stars are dead. Hallelujah! Prince of God, why do you not come and take yonr coronet? Princess of the Lord Almighty, why do yon not mount your throne? Pass up into the light. Your boat is anchored, why do you not go ashore? Just plant your feet hard down, and you will feel under them the Rock of Ages. I challenge the universe for one instance, in which a man in the right spirit appealed for the salvation of the Gospel, and did not get it. Man alive! Are you going to let all the years of your life go away with you without your having this great peace, this glorious hope, this bright expectancy? Are ytftt going to let the pearl of great price lie in the dust at your feet because you are too indolent or too proud to stoop down to pick it up? Will you wear the .chain of evil habit when neaj; you is the hammer that could with one stroke snap the shackle? Will you stay in the prison of sin when here is a Gospel key that could unlock your incarceration? No; no! As the' one word, “Come,” has sometimes brought many souls to Christ, I will try the experiment of piling up into a mountain and then send down in an avalanee of power many of these Gospel “Comes.” “Come thou and all thv house into the ark;” “Come

unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest?* “Come, for all things are now ready:” “Come with ns and we will do you good:’' “Come and see;” “The Spirit and the Bride say ‘Come,’ and let him that heareth say ‘Come,’ and let him that is athirst eorne.” The stroke of one bell in a tower may be sweet, but a score of bells well tuned and rightly lifted and skillfully swung in one great chime fill the heavens with' music almost celestial- And no one whc has ’ card the mighty chimes in the to wets of Amstv^dsaa, Ghent, or Co penhagen, can forget them. Now, itseems to me that in this Sabbath hour all Heaven is chiming, and the voices of departed friends and kindred ring dowil the sky, saying: “Come!” Ihe angels who never fell, bending, from sapphire thrones, are chanting “Come!’ Yea: all the towers of Heaven, tower of martyrs, tower of prophets, tower of Apostles, tower of evangelists, tower of the temple of the Lord llod and the Lamb, are chiming: “Come! come!’ Pardon for all, and peace for all, ant! Heaven for all who will come. When Russia was in one of her great wars, the suffering of the soldiers had been long and bitter, and they wen waiting for the end of the strife. One day a messenger in great excitement ran among the tents of the army shout ing: ' “Peace! Peace.” Bfe sentinel on guard asked: “Who says peace?' And the sick soldier turned on his hospital mattress and asked: “Wht says peace?” And all up. and down the encampment of the Russians went the question: “Who says peace?” The: the messenger responded: “The Czar says ‘Peace.’ ” That was enough. That meant going home. That meant the war was over. No more wounds and no more long marches. So to-day. as one of the Lord's messengers. I move through these great encampments of souls%nd cry: “Peace between earth and Heaven! Peaee between God and man! Peace between your repenting soul and a pardoning Lord!” If you ask me, “Who says peace?” I answer. “Christ our King declarest:” “My peace I give unto you!” “Peace of God that passeth all understanding!” Everlasting peaee! A TRAVELERS STORY. He Found Green Pastures Surrounded 1»> lee Fields. An adventurous individual, who was with Stanley in Africa some years ago and has lately returned from an exph ration in Alaska, tells a rather marvel ous story of that distant part of Unol • Sam’s domain. He accompanied an ex pedition that went into the interior o' Alaska, beyond the Mount St Elia range, through the Chilcat Pass tlr only route yet known to American The party pushed on through glacierand ice fields for full fifty miles, am then aocording to this individual’s ac count, emerged into a deli^htfulh green and fertile region, where riel meadows stretched away as far as thi ev(tcould see.

After traveling a long way througl this pleasant country the Yukon rive, was reached, and here the party di vided, one half returning homeward vis; .ho Yukon, while the other sailed dowt ‘.ho Alsech river to the ocean. Thi: latter detachment the person who relates the story accompanied. So perilous and difficult was the navigaiior that it required ten days to .make fift\ miles. The explorer maintains that interior Alaska has great possibilities as a grazing and mining region. One obstacle to its development has been its inaccessibility. Chilcat Pass will answer for small exploring parties, but it is too difficult for the [purposes of commerce. This explorer, however, insists that be has discovered a new and easy route to the interior, by means of which thousands of acres of meadow and mineral land may be immediately opened to settlement. Time will determine how much there is of truth in this strange story, and low much that is extravagant At present it must be confessed that it bears an unfortunate resemblance to those apochryphar tales currant twenty or thirty years ago rels-tivo to the rich and verdurous expanse by which the North Pole was said to be surrounded.—St Louis Globe-Democrat VSermons by Telephone. The attempt made at Christ Church, Birmingham, England, to transmit the church service by telephone to London, Manchester and other distant points has been attended by very fair success;. Some of the difficulties which have to be overcome before the people can listen in comfort at their own fireside to the voice of their favorite minister may be gathered from the following description of the experiment by one who took part in it: “When the morning service commenced thereo was what appeared to be • an unseemly clamor to hear the services. The opening prayer was interrupted by cries of ‘Hello there!’ ‘Are you there?’ ‘Put me on to Christ Church.’ ‘No, I don’t want the church,’ ete. But presently quiet obtained, and by the time the psalms were reached we got almost unbroken connection, and could follow the course of the services. We could hear little of the prayers—probably from the fact that the officiating minister was not within voice-reach of the transmitter. The organ had a faint, far-away sound, but the singing and the sermon were a distinct success.’’-^Chicago News. —Wick wire—“There never were so many chances as now to get good income out of a small -fortune.” Yabsley —“What I’d like is to get a good fortune out of a income.”—Indianapolis Journal,

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Use ammonia in the water you wash glass in. —Clean decanters with strips of coarse, hrown paper and cold water,' filling the decanter quite full with the strips. Tea-ieaves, potato-parings and shot are also used;, hut nothing gives the polish of the brown paper.—Ladies’ Home Journal. « —Breakfast Gems.-r-One egg, one pint of milk, a little salt and flour to make a stiff batter; you will need a hot fire, and the gem pans must be very hot when you put the; batter in; put a small piece of butter in each one before turning in the batter. —Household. —The scrubbing of floors should be done with bath brick dnst or sand and ordinary household soap The object Of the brick dust or sand is to whiten the boards. After washing leave all the doors and windows open for it to dry very quickly, which also helps to, whiten the boards. ■ —TO prepare cOcoanut cones whip the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, adding gradually one pound of powdered sugar; then beat.in one teaspoonful powdered arrowroot and one-half pound of grated coeoanut. Butter a Sheet of writing paper and lay in the baking pan; mold the coeoanut into small cones and bake in a moderate oven.—N. Y. World. —Okra Soup—Take a small shin of beef, and. after washing it very thoroughly, put it on to boil in one gallon of water; skim the -water as it boils, and add salt: let it lioil about five

hours, then add one onion chopped, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one fourth of a peek of okra and one quart can of tomatoes; allow all to boil together an hour and a half longer: remove the meat and serve.—Boston Herald. —The best time for changing the lineq of the patient is in the morning. When able to bear a daily freshening of the toilet, it should be done as nearly as possible at the same hour. Befor convalescence or strength will permit of daily toilet, a frequent sponging of the face and hands with tepid water to which has been added a little good Cologne water, will be found very refreshing, especially to a fever patient. When a complete sponging is ordered, if done just before the hour of sleeping, it will be found much more refreshing and will conduce to sleep. —Sponge Steak.—Remove carefully every particle of bone, fat and gristle, also the “tough end’’ from four porterhouse or two sirloin steaks; place in a stew-pan with just enough water to cover them; let them simmer (not boil) until they fall to pieces when taken from the pan; if the water cooks away before the meat is done, add a little more, but keep closely covered and see that all the water is absorbed. AVhen cooked, remove from the fire, mince very fine, add pepper, salt and catsup to taste; press out all the juice, and work in an unbeaten egg; with your hands, form into cakes about four inches long by three wide, and brown quickly in hot butter, and lay on a bed of fresh, green parsley.—Good Housekeeping. PEPPER Ml NT FARM ING. Where the Plant Is thrown. Its Commercial Value ami Its Various I'ses. To unaccustomed eyes a visit to the Northern peppermint farms is a pleasant incident in a summer trip. There are only two plaees in the United Sates, it is said, where peppermint is extensively grown for commercial profit. In Wayne County,New York,thecrop isestimated as bringing in nearly $1,000,000. In Michigan, especially in St. Joseph County, many acres are devoted to the cultivation of this fragrant product. Peppermint is botanically known as mentha piperita. Mint has its name from classical times, when, according to mythology, Proserpine in a fit of jealousy changed Mintha. the daughter of Cocytus, into a mint plant. The mints are all plants of “grey renown." A hundred years ago pepper

mint was grown in the fields abont London and received no harm from the browsing of cattle, as they dislike the scent of the herb. The : odoriferous principle of peppermint is so volatile that it varies according to spii and elilffate, so that the mint of Surry is found to be quite superior to that grown in France. In this country the plant rejoices in a sandy loam and requires no mahure. But for some reason, either on account of soil or in consequence of degeneracy in the plant, it is not considered best to grow more than from two to four years on the same soil. The crops are therefore followed by clover or corn. Peppermint farmers say that the first year's crop, which takes about three months to mature, is always the best. When three crops a year are harvested the last is apt to be weedy and much less in value than the preceding ones. The ground designed fad peppermint, which with some farmers is only a few acres and with others several hundred, is thoroughly prepared in the fall by plowing and harrowing. It is reharrowed in the spring and laid off in rows whenever the ground is in good condition for the work. Th e' creeping rootstalks or underground stems are used for planting. These are set quite close in the rows. Jfl'he planter often uses his feet to cover the roots, The ground is kept very cR-an, and when the plants bloom the cutting begins, provided the weather is fine. A rain is very injurious at this time, and if it occurs the harvesting is delayed to allow the plants to recover their aromatic essence. Small cocks are made, like hay. in some fields after it is partly dried, but it is necessary tha t the crop be distilled before becoming too dry, and for thi^ reason wherever it is grown as the chief crop it is necessary to have a still for fear of delay when the erop is ready for distillation. Mint strifw is said to be good as fodder for cattle. The oil which is distilled from the plant varies in price, sometimes selling- from 81.50 to 86 a pound. The cuantity obtained from one acre also varies from 20 to 40 pounds. When h ss than 15 pounds are produced it is r ot worth while to grow it. The oil is uiied somewhat for medicinal purposes but its chief use is in flavoring candi is and other confections. It is also of usi iri printing cotton fabHvolatile principle exists ad oo the leaves and in njftli. at the time of bloss oil is contained in small vl ich fiook like resinous distil led )!; is almost colorajfrecable odor and is folold sensation when taken into the month. When used in the form of menthol on a small cone as an external application for neuralgia it produces a sensation of heat and is an excellent remedy for that distressing disease. The Chinese fire said to find the oil of peppermint viery efficacious for sun stroke when simply rubbed on the head. The varieties of peppermint cultivated in China and Japari are different from piperita and said to be better for production of peppermint, camphoror menthol. The cultivation of peppermint in the United States is gradually extending. As there is now a prospect of this product being tahen from'the hands of mere speculators who have in the past, so absolutely controlled prices, it may reasonably be expected that in the near future there will be ^ large extension of the area devo .ed to the culture of peppermint.—St. ii«oui* Republic

'—The following- from a French medical journal, the Bulletin de Tberapeutique, illustrates another one of numerous .ways in which consumption, now well recognized as a contagious disease, may be communicated: “Dr. Maijean has observed a case of tuberculosis in a musician, which he concluded was due to the use of a. trumpet which previously belonged to a phthisical patient. To demonstrate the fact; he introduced through the tubes a certain | quantity o&sterilized water, which he agitated for ten minutes.

A peculiar fact with reference to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is, that, unlike sarsaparillas and other blood medicines, which are said to be good for the blood in March, April and May, the “ Discovery ” "works, equally well all the year round, and in all cases of blood-taints or humors, no matter what their name or nature. It’s the cheapest bloodpurifier sold through druggists. Why? Because it’s sold on a peculiar plan, and you only pay for the good yuu get. Can you ask more? “ Golden Medical Discovery ” is a concentrated vege- - table extract, put up in large , bottles; contains no alcohol to inebriate, no syrup or sugar to derange digestion; is pleasant to the taste, and equally good for adults ,,pr children. The “ Discovery ” cures all Skin, Scalp and Scrofulous affections, as Eczema, Tetter, Salt-rheum, Fever-sores, White Swellings, Hip - joint disease and kindred ailments.
