T. EeWiU' Tabernacle,: be with vou.—Geaisls xllii., t This summer, having cross**! . of the United States, north, south, wd west, I have to report the might harvests that this country or any ever reaped. If the grain gunbl not somehow wreck these harvests, we Bare about to enter upon the grandest scene of prosperity that America * ever witnessed, lint while this is our own country, on the other the Atlantic there are nations en*d with famine, and the most di cry that is ever heard will I fear be uttered, the cry for bread. 1 pray God that the contrast between our pn>sperity and their want may rot be as sharp as in the lands referred to by my text There was soothing to eat Plenty of corn in Egypt but ghastly famine in Canaan. The cs ttle moaning in the stall. M en, women and children awfuily white with hunger. Not the failing q( one crop for one summer, but the failing of all tie crops for seven years. A nation dying for lack of tbat which is so common on yotr table, and so little appreciated; the product of harvest field, and gristmill, and oven; the price of sweat and anxiety, and struggle—bread! Jacob, the father, has the last report from the flour-bin, and he finds fihat everything is out and - he says to his sons: “Boys, hook npJ the wagons and start for Egypt and get 11s

something1.»to eat. The fact was, there was a great corn-crib in Egypt. The people of Egypt have been largely taxed in all ages, at the piesent tine paying between seventy and eighty per percent of their products to the gorernmenb No wonder in thnt time they had a large corn-crib, and it was full. To that crib they came from the. regions round about—those who weie famished—some paying for corn in money; when the money was exhausted, paying for the com in sheep and cattle, and horses and camels; and when they were exhausted, then selling their own bodies and their families into slavery. The morning for starting out on tt e crusade for bread has arrived. Jacob gets his family np very early. But before the eider sons start they say something that makes him tremble with emotion from head to foot, and bun it ' into tears. The fact was that these elder sons had on^ before been in Egypt to get corn, atm they had been treated somewhat roughly, the lord c f the corn-crib supplying them with corn, •but saying at the close of the interview: ‘•Now, you need ^not come back here for any more corn unless you bring something better than money—evc i your younger brother, Beniamin. Ah! Benjamin—that very name was suggestive of all tenderness. ' The mother had died at the birth of that son—a spirit coming and another spirit going— and the very though k of parting with Benjamin must have been a heart-break. The keeper of the corn-crib, nevertheless, says to these elder sons: “There is no need of your coining here any more for corn unless you bring Benjamin, your father's darling.” Now Jacob and his family very much needed bread; but what s struggle it would be to give up this, son. The Orientals are very demonstrative in their gri«|Mhd I hear the outwailing of the oU as these older sons keep ^Iterating in his cars the announcement ol the Egyptian lord: “Ye shall not see my face unless your brother he with you.” Why did you tell them you hod a brother?” said the oldanan, complaining and chiding them. “Why, father,” they paid, “he asked us all about our family, and we had no idea he would make any such demand upon us as be has made.” “No use of asking me,” said the father; “1 can not, I will not, -*-jj;ive up Benjamin.” The fact was that vthe old man had lost children; and when there has been bereavement in a household and a child taken it makes the other children in the household more precious. So the day for departure was adjourned, and adjourned, and adjourned. Still tha horrors of the famine increased, and louder moaned the cattle, and wider open cracked the earth, and more pallid became the cheeks, until Jucob,in despair, cried out to his sons: “Take Benjamin and be off.” The older sons tried to cheer up their father. They said: “We have strong arms and a stout hear;, and no harm will conic to Benjamin. We’ll fjpftthat he get^ back again.” ''FareWeUr'b^id the~yCung men to the father, in a tone-ef-ft&u naed good cheer. “E-a-r-e-w-e-1-1!” said the old man, for that word has more qui vers in it when pronounced by the aged than by the ruung.

Well, the breed party—the bread embassy—drives up in front of the corncrib of Egypt. These corn-cribs are filled with wheat and'barley, and com in the husk, for those who have traveled in Canaan and Egypt know that there is corn there corresponding with oar Indian maize. Huzza! the journey is ended. The lord of the corn-cri b, who is also the prime minister, coni es down to these arrived travelers and says: “Dine with me to-day. How is yonr father? Is this Benjamin, the iger brother whose presence I <leied?” The travelers are introduced _• are worn and »e-’ e way; and servants cone tsln of water in erne hand in the other, and knBel these newly-arrived travwashing off the dust of the w »y. le butchers and poulterers and cateri of- the prime minister prepare the past. The guests are seated in sn " two or three at a table, i a tray; all the luxuries from SC3W • ft —,'•*> i

jgJGg itaH the I knew I never consented to I hated, out of kindness to I did not get hissed by the cut by the writer. I could drive for n tew minutes without being overturned my elbow-bone broken, th d. having fh my friend got off unharmed. I could not make a covenant with Arnold whieh I thought was to make my fortune without making his instead, than in an incredi ble space of time—I think thirteen months—I earned for him twenty thousand pounds and for myself one. I am persuaded that if I were to set np as a beggar, every one in my neighborhood would leave off eating bread.” That was the lament of the world’s comedian and joker. All unhappy. The vrorld did everything for Lord Byron that it eould do, and yet in his last moment he asked- a friend to come and sit down by him and read, as most appropriate to his ease, the story of “The Bleeding Heart.” Torrigiano, the seulptor, executed, after months of care and carving. “Madonna and the Child.” The royal family came in and admired it Everybody that looked at was in ecstacy; but one day. after all that toil, and all that admiration, because he did not get as much compensation for his work as he had expected, he took a mullet and dashed the exquisite sculpture into atoms. The world is poor compensa

btUIly puvi iMIblOiUVUVUi DVtuvv Famine, famine in all the er.rth; not for seven years, b.ut for six thousand.. lint, blessed be God, there is a great corn-crib. The Lord built ili. It is in another land. It is n large place. An angel once measured it, and a 5 far as I can calculate it in our phrase, that corn-crib hi fifteen hundred miles long and fifteen hundred broad and fifteen hundred high; and it is full. Food for all nations. "Oh!” say the people, “we will start right away and get this supply for our soul.” But stop a moment; for from the keeper of that corn-crib there comes this word, saying: “You shall not see my face except your brother be with you.” In other words, there is no such thing as getting from Heaven pardon, and comfort, and ” eternal life, unless we bring with us our Divine brother, the Lord Jesus Christ Coming without Him, we shall fall before we reach the corn-crib, and our bodies shall be a portion for the jackals of ^agpjvilderness; but coming with the JDJnne Jesus, all the granaries of Heaven will swing open before our soul, and Abundance will be given us. We. shall he invited to sit in the palace of Abe King and at the table; and while twtord of Heaven, is apportioning from His own table to other tables He will net forget us; and then and there it will be found that our Benjamin's mess is larger than all the others, for so it ought to be. “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive blessing, and riches, and honor, and glory, and power.” I want to make three points: Every frank and common-sense man will acknowledge himself to be a sinner. What are you going to do with your sins? Have them pardoned, you say. How? Through the mercy of God. What do you mean by the mercy of God? Is it the letting down of a bar for the admission of all, without respect to character? Be not deceived. I see p soul coming up to the gate of mercy and knocking at the corn-crib of heavenly supply; and a voice from within says: “A re you alone?” The sinner replies: “All alone.” The voice from within says: “You shall not see my pardoning face unless your Divine Brother, the Lord Jesus, be with you.” 0,'that is the point at which so many are discomforted. There is no mercy from God except through Jesus Christ. Coming with Him we are accepted. Coming without Him, we are rejected. Peter put it right in his great sermon before the high priests when he thundered forth: “Neither is there salvation in any other. There is no .other name given under Heaven among men whereby we may be saved.” O, anxious sinner! O, dying sinner! O, lost sinner! all you have got to do is to have this Divine Benjamin along with you. Side by side coming to the gate, all the store houses of Heaven will swingopen before your anxious soul. Am I right in calling Jesus Benjamin? O, yes, Rachel lived only long enough to give a name to that child, and with a dying kiss she called him BenonL iVfterwartk Jacob changed his name, and he calledhim Benjamin. The meaning of the name she gave was “Son of my pain.” The meaning of the name the father gave was “son of my right hand.” And was not Christ the son of pain? All the sorrows of Rachel in that hour, when she gave her child over into the hands of strangers, was nothing compared with the struggles of God when He gave up His only Son. The Omnipoitent God in a birth throe! And was not Christ appropriately called “Son

of the right nano? met not Stephen look into Heaven and see Him standincr at the right hand of God. And does not Paul speak of Him as standing at the right hand of God making intercession for us? Son of Victory! The deepest emotions of onr souls ought to be stirred at the sound of that nomenclature. In your prayers plead His tears, His sufferings. His sorrows and His death. If you refuse to do it all the eorn-cribe and the palaces of Heaven will be bolted and barred against your soul, and a voice from the throne shnil stun yon with the announcement: “You shall not see My face except your llrother be frith you.” My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real comfort. You meet ten people; nine if them are in need of some kind of condolence. There is something in their health, or in their state, or in their domestic condition that demands sympathy. And yet the most of the world’s sympathy amounts to absolutely nothing. People go to the wrong crib or they go in the wiong way. When the plague was in Home a great many years ago there were eighty &en who chanted themselves to death with the litanies of Gregory, the Great—literally chanted themselves to death—and yet It did not stop the plague. And al the music of this world not halt the plague le to some nie, and I never be you much soothing Lost and

room calls out 1 „ , dome to you and say by W*y Of condolence: “God is wise,” **0!" yon say, “Q»at glees me no help." Suppose I come to you and say: “God. irons »B ‘ - trouble.” no gonfmipm feet of prayer go direct to the corn-crib for a heavenly supply.” You go. You say: “Lord, help me; Lord, corneternity, has arranged this “Ah!” yon say, that does me Then I say: “With the swift fort comfort is the But no help yet. No yet It is all dark. What matter? I have found. You ought to go to God and say: “Here, O Lord, are the wounds of my soul, and I bring with me the wounded Jesus Let His wounds pay for my wounds, His bereavements for my bereavements, His loneliness tor my loneliness, His heart-’ reak tor my heart-break. 0 God!, tor the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ—the God, the Man, the Benjamin, the B rother—deliver my agonised soul. O, Jesus of the weary foot, ease my fatigue, O, Jesus of the aching bead, heal my aching head. G, Jesus of the Bethany sisters, roll away the stone from the door of our grave.” That is the kind of praygjr that brings help, and yet how many of you are getting no help at all, for the reason that there is in yonr soul, perhaps, a secret trouble. You may never have mentioned it to a single human ear, or you may have mentioned it to some one who Is now gone away, and that great sorrows is still in your soul. After Washington Irving was dead they found a little box that contained a braid of hair and a miniature, and the name of Matilda Hoffman.and a memorandum of her death, and a r emark something like this: “The world after ti>at was a blank to rae. I went into the country, bat found no peace in solitude. I tried to go into society, but I found no peace in society. There has been a horror hanging over me by night and by day, and I am afraid to be alone.”

Ilow many unottered troubles. So human ear ever heard the sorrow. O, troubled soul, I want to tell you that there is one salve that can cure the wounds of the heart, and that is the salve made but of the tears of a sympathetic Jesus. And vet some of you will not take this solace; and you try chloral, and you try morphine, and you try strong’ drink, and you try change of scene, and you try new business associations. and anything and everything rather than take the Divine companionship and sympathy suggested hy the words of my text when it says: “Yon shall not see my face again unless your brother be with you.” O, that you might understand something of the. height, and depth, and length, and breadth, and immensity, and infinity of God’s eternal consolations. I go further, and find in my subject a hint as to the way Heaven opens to the departing spirit. \Ye are told that Heaven has twelve gates, and -some people infer from that fact that all the people will go in without reference to their past life, but what is the use of having a gate that is not sometimes to be shut? The swinging of a gate implies that our entrance into Heaven is conditional. It is not a monetary condition. If we come to the "door of an exquisite concert, we are not surprised that we must pay a fee, for we know that fine earthly music is excessive; but all the oratorios of Heaven cost nothing. Heaven pays nothing for its musie. It is all free. There is nothing to be paid at that door for entrance; but the condition of getting into Heaven is our bringing our Divine Benjamin along with us. Do you notice how often dying people call upon Jesus? It is the usual prayer offered—the prayer offered more than all the other prayers put together—Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” One of our congregation, when asked in the closing moments of his life: “Do vou know us?” said: “O, yes, I know you. God bless you. Good-by. Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;” and he was gone. O, yes, in the closing moments of our life we must have a Christ to call upon. If Jacob’s' sons had'gone toward Egypt and had gone with the very finest equipage, and had not taken Benjamin along with them, and to the question they should have been obliged to answer: “Sir, we didn’t bring him, as father could not let him go; we didn’t want to be bothered with him,” a voice from within would have said: “Go away from us. You shall not have any of this supply. You shall not see my lace because your brother is not with you.” And if we come up toward the door of Heaven at last, though we come from all luxuriance and brilliancy of surroundings, and knock for admittance, and it is found that Christ is not with ns, the police of Heaven will beat us back from the bread-house, saying: “Depart, I never knew you.” If Jacob’s sons, coming toward Egypt, had lost everything on the way; if they had expended their last skekel; if they had come up utterly exhausted to the corn-cribs of Egypt, and it had been found that Benjamin was with them, all the store-houses would have swung open before them. And so, though by fatal casualty we may be ushqred into the eternal world; though we may be weak and exhausted by protracted sickness—if, in that last moment, we can only just stagger, and faint, and fall into .the gate of Heaven—it seems that all -the corncribs of Heaven will open for our need, and all the palaces will open for our reception; and the

uuiu u* tuub juavTii ocobcu nh uu uiuu.-, and all the angels of God seated at their table, and the martyrs seated at their table, and all onr glorified kindred seated at onr table, the King shall pass a portion from His table to ours, and then, while we think of the fact that it was Jesus who started us on the road, and Jesus who kept us on the way, and Jesus who at, last gained admittance for our sonl, we shall be glad ii He has seen of the travail of his soul and been satis* fled, and not be at all jealous if it be found that our Divine Benjamin’s mess is five times larger than all the rest Hail! anointed of the Lord. Thou art worthy. My friends, you see it is either Christ or famine. If there were two banquets spread, and to one of them, only, you might go, you might stand and think for a good while as to which invitation you had better accept; but here it is feasting or starvation. If it were a choice between oratorios, you might say: “I prefer the Creation, or 1 prefer the Messiah.” But here it is a ehoioe between eternal harmony and everlasting discord. O, will yon live or die ? Will you start for the Egyptian corn-crib or will you perish amid the empty barns of the Canaanitisk famine ? “Ye shall not see my face except your brother be with you.” —It is indeed a pleasant sight to see a family dwelling together in peace and unity and gladness.

HANDY SOIL MARKER. Useful tor Neat, Quick Work in Souring and Transplanting. The device illustrated I find quite useful for neat, quick work in sowing, pricking out and transplanting. Take a piece of board an inch thick and two inches wide and of any desired length; draw a line down the center of each side and one edge, and with a plane or sharp knife pare it down to a sharp edge; fasten a handle of convenient

Grasp the handle firmly, press the sharp edge into the earth and yon have a straight, even drill of uniform depth for sowing. By marking and cross marking, as in corn planting, yon have even spacing for pricking or transplanting. To mark off the distance to next row you might also put on a runner at one side fastened to rod of iron passing through the marker, as shown in lower figure. This runner can be adjusted any distance and do perfect work. Of course, handle and marking strips can be made any length, from a few inches to several feet. I think that after trying one you will make several of different sizes. — Populiu Gardening.__ , KNOW THE INSECTS. Farmers Destroy Many Which Are of Incalculable Benefit. -1 often receive specimens of black ground beetles accompanied with the question: How can 1 best destroy these “bugs”? These beetles kill immense numbers of cutworms, white grubs, etc., and ro do us only good. This year 1 have received scores of pupae of our lady beetles, hanging to plums or leaves. In every case came the question: What new insect is this that is attacking our plums, and how can we kill it? This pupa was the resting stage between the larva and adult lady beetle. Both larva and adult feed exclusively on plant lice. Plant lice are terribly destructive to our plum and other trees. Thus to kill a single one of these pupa is to destroy a friend. A long ichneumon fly with flat, long, compressed abdomen, and very long, hairlike ovipositor, is found caught in or boring into a maple tree. The insect is sent to me with the question: How can we kill this insect and save onr maples? The truth is this insect is a parasite, and was boring into the tree to lay its eggs on or near a borer. Thus it is the borer that is killing the tree; to prevent the borer from its work was the purpose of the ichneumon; the way to save the tree is not to kill or disturb this insect. We see, then, that it is very necessary to know the habits of insects, lest We kill our friends and protect our enemies. These friends, though often very small, are very numerous. This year the grain aphis would have ruined the wheat and oat crops, except ior a minute parasite that quickly destroyed the aphis.—Prof. A. J. Cook, in N. Y. Tribune.

The Cow n. the Railroad. The supreme court of Indiana has affirmed a point of railroad law that is important in all agricultural communities. A farmer's cow strayed on the railroad track and was killed by a train, fie sued the company for the .value of his cow, and the company sued him for damages to the locomotive. The suit has gone through all the courts, until now the supreme court of the state has decided, in effect, that it is as much the farmer’s business to keep hia cows off the railroad track as it was the business of the railroad company to keep its locomotive* out of his pasture lots, and that if either strayed on the property of t}»e other their owner was liable for the damage caused. Consequently the farmer pays fqr the damage to the locomotive, and the company does not pay tot $9 Cow.-Oiatfonai \ /

A woman “run-down,” overworked, weak, nervous and debilitated—that’s a woman that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is made for. It gives her health and strength. All woman’s weaknesses and all woman’s ailments are cured by it. It’s a legitimate medicine— not a beverage; an invigorating, restorative tome and a soothing and strengthening nervine, free from alcohol and injurious drags. It imparts tone and vigor to the whole system. For all functional irregularities, periodical pains, organic displacements and uterine diseases, it’s a positive remedy. — And a guaranteed one. If it doesn’t give satisfaction, in every case, the money paid , for it is refunded. No other' medicine for women is sold on these terms. That’s because nothing else is “ just as good.” Perhaps the dealer will offer something that’s “better.” He means that it’s better for him. ‘August Flower” How doos he feel ?—He feds cranky, and is constantly experimenting, dieting himself, adopting strange notions, and changing the cooking, the dishes, the hours, and manner of his epting—August Flower the Remedy.

It’s expensive washing before you get through with k—and the cost comes home to you, no matter who does the work. _ Pear line saves money by slaving work, wear, and time. It hurts nothing; washes and cleans everything. It costs no more than common soap, but*it does more. It’s cheap to begin with—but it’s cheapest in the end.
