He manned fortress Thapsacus, at the chief ford of the Euphrates, and put under thing that passed there, great products of Palestine— _ pressed from the richest clusters, celebrated all the world over; oil, in that hot country is the entire for butter and lard, and was from the olive branches, until _ „ tree in the country became an oil wall; and honey, which was the entire substitute for sugar—these three great produets of the country, Solomon exported, and received jn return fruits and precious woodt, and the animals of every clime. He went down to Ezion-geber and ordered a fleet of Bhlps to be constructed, oversaw the workmen and watched the launching of the flotilla, which was to go out on more than a year’s voyage, 'to bring home the wealth of the then known world. He heard that the Egyptian horses were large and swift, and long-maned and round-limbed, and he resolved to purchase them, giving eighty-Are dollars apiece for thlm, putip ting the beat of these horses in hisown stall, and selling the surplus to foreign potentates at great profit. He heard that tbero was the best of timber ot^pfount Lebanon, add he sent - •eahone hflodred and eighty thousand to hew down the forest and drag the timbe^tbrqugb the mountain gorges, to construct it itoto rafts to be floated to doppa, had from thence to be drawn by ox-teams twenty-five miles across the land to Jerusalem.

Bl mxnnani ac bcihuui people lo catch them anil bring them there, Ad be put them into his cages. Stand'back now, and see this long train q^&amels coming up to the king's gate, a» the ox trains from Egypt, gold anjFsitver and precious stones, and beast* ©i-erery hoof, and birds of every wing, and fish of every scale! See the peacocks strut under the ceborsemen run, and the ,rk to the orchesdance! Not stopthe wonders of the temple, step right on to the causeway, and pass up to Solomon’s palace. Here we find ourselves amid a collection of buildings, on which the king had lavished the wealth of many empires. The genius of Hiram, the architect, and of the other artists, is here seen in the long; line of corridors, and tfie suspended gallery and the approach to the throne. Traeeried window opposite traceried window. Bronzed or- - naments bursting into lotus and lily and pomegranate. Chapiters surrounded by network of leaves, in which imitation fruit seemed suspended, as in hanging, baskets Three branches—so Josephus tells us—three branches sculptured on Hie marbl e, so thin and subtle that even the leaves seemed to quiver. A laver capable of holding five hundred barrels of water, on six hundred brazen __ox heads, which gushed with water that filled the whole place with ooolness and crystalline brightness and musical plash. Ten tables chased with chariot wheel and lion Ail cherubim. Solomon sat on a throne of ivory. At the seating place of the throne, on each end of the steps, a brazen lion. Why, my frienda, in that place they trimmed their candles With snuffers of gold, and they cut their fruits with knives of gold, and they scooped out the ashes with shovels of {fold, Ad they shirred the altar fires with tongs of gold, Gold reflected in the water! Gold flashing .-from the apparel! Gold blazing in the ( crown! Gold! gold! gold!

Of course the news oi the affluence if that place went out everywhere, ■MBHHA and caravan, and by wing of nntil soon the streets of crowded with curiosity is that long procession Jeruslem? I think from of It there must be royalty I smell the breath of the brought as presents, shout of the drivers, ilnst-eovered caravan, come from faraway, to the palace. The advances Let all the to see. Let the mighty out on the palace down b the the and the

“Book of Ages” fn Windsor castle, and “Queen -Victoria, Incognita, reading the scriptures to a dying pauper. I bless God that the day is coming when royalty vyill bring all its thrones, and mnsic.all its harmonies, and pafnt•tog all Us pictures, and sculpture all its statuary, and architecture all its pillars, and conquests all m scepters; and the qneens of the earth, in long line of advance, frankincense filling the air, and the camels laden with gold, shall approach Jernsnleip, and the gatha shall be hoisted, and tho great burden of splendor shall be lifted into the palace of this greater than Sdtomon. s Again, my subject teaches me what la earnestness in the search of truth. Do yon know where Sheba was? It was to Abyssinia, or some say in tho southern part of Arabia Felix. In either case it was a great way off from Jerusalem. To get from there to Jerusalem she had to cross a country infested with bandits, and go across blistering deserts. Why did not the queen of Sheba stoy at home aud send a committee to inquire about this new religion,- and have the dele-, gates report in regard to that religion and wealth of King" Solomon? She wanted to see for hersel f, and hear for hqyself. She eould not do this work by committee. She felt she had a soul worth ten thousand kingdoms like Sheba, and she wanted a robe richer than any woven by oriental shuttles, and she wanted a crown set with the jewels of eternity. Bring out the camels Pn't on the spices Gather np the jewels of the throne and put them on the caravan. Start now; po time to be lost. Goad on the camels When I see that caravan, dust-covered, weary and exhausted, trudging on across tho desert and among the bandits until it reaches Jerusalem, I say: “There is an earnest seeker after the truth.”

But tliere are a great many of you, my (fiends, who do not act in that way. You Ml want to get the truth, but you want the truth to oome to you; you do uot want.to go to it There are people who told their arms and say: “I am ready to become a Christian at any time; if I am to be saved I shall be saved, and if 1 am to be lost I shall be lost” Ah! Jerusalem.will never oome to you; you must go tb, Jerusalem. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ will not come to you; you must go and get religion. Bring out the camels; put on all the sweet spices, all the treasures of the heart’s affection. Start for the throne. Go in pud hear the waters of salvation dashing in fountains all around about the throne. Sit down at the banquet—the wine, pressed from the grapej of the heavenly Eschol,,the angels of God, the cup-bearers. Goad on the camels; Jerusalem will never come to you; you must go to Jerusalem. Tim Bible declares U: “The queen of the south”—-that is, this very woman 1 am speaking of—“the queen of the south shall rise up in judgment against this generation and condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold! a greater than Solomon is here.” God help me to break up the infatuation of those people who are sitting downdnidleness expecting to be saved. “St rr$i to enter in at the strait gate. Ask aq8 it shall be given yon; seek and ye shall find; knock and li shall be opened]'to you." Take the kingdom of Heaven by violence. Urge on the camels! Again, my subject impresses me’with the fact that. religion is a surprise to anyone that gets it This story of the new religion in Jerusalem, and • of thp glory of King Solomon, who was a-type of Chriat—that story rolls on abd-on, and is told by every traveler - coming hack from Jerusalem. The news goes on the wing of every ship, and with every caravan, and you know a story enlarges as it is retold, and by the time that story gets down into the southern port of Arabia Felix, and the queen of .Sheba hears it, it must he a tremendous story. And . vet this queen declares in regard to it, although she had heard so much and had her anticipations raised so high, the half—the half was not told her.

So religion is always a surprise to anyone that gets it The story of grace —an old story. Apostles of grace—an old. story. Apostles preached it with -rattle of chain; martyrs declared it with arm of fire; death-beds have affirmed it ; with visions of glory;”-and ministers of religion have sounded it through the lanes, and the highways and the chapels and the cathedrals, it has been eut into stone with chisel, and spread on the canvas with pencil; and it has been recited in the doxology of great congregations. And yet when a man first comes to look on the palace of God’s and to see the royalty of Christ, and the wealth of this banquet, and the luxuriance of His attendants, and the loveliness of His face, and the joy of His service, he exclaims with prayers, with tears, with sighs, with triumphs: "'The half—the half was not told me!" ’ I appeal to those in this house who are Christiana Compare the ideayou had of the joy of the Christian life before i you became a Chriatian with the appreciation of that joy you have now, since you have become a Christian, and you are willing to attest before angels, and men that yon never iii tho days of your spiritual bondage had any appreciation of whpt was to come. • You are ready to-day to answer, and if I give you an opportunity .in the midst of this assemblage, yon would speak out and say in regard to the discoveries you have made of the mercy and the grace and the goodness of God: “The half—the half was not told me!” Well, we hear a good deal about the i J

We, take, all our loves, and hopes, and Christian ambitions as frankincense.endmyrrh.and cassia, to the great King. We must not rest. We must not halt. The night is coining on, and it is not safe Out here in the desert. Urge on the camels. I see-the domes against the sky, and the houses of Lebanon, and tbc temples and the gardens.

Literary People Off Oaty Wont Only Reel and Recreation. When a literary person’s exhaustive work is over, the last thing he wishes to do iis to talk hook.

Ancient l*oM»li memorials. The so-called “Psalter of Queen Margaret,” discovered in 182(1, is the earliest specimen known of ancient Polish prior to the sixteenth century; the middle of the fourteenth century is given as its date, and this is supposed to be a copy of a much older text With this Psalter was-brought to light a translation of the Fiftieth Psalm of thirteenth-cen-tury date. Several religious songs written in Latin in the middle of the fourteenth century by the bishop of Posen may in this connection find mention. Still preserved in Cracow is a fifteenth-century manuscript of a noted Polish war song, sung by soldiers of that nation when going into battle. Also in this century appeared the Bible of Queen Sophia, or “Bible of Ssaroaa,k." This collection contains only

With free raw materials, the tax on imports of competing goods would he almost entirely for the protection of labor; a*d as free raw materials would greatly .increase the consumption, there would be an increased demand for labor. Neither is it true that no harm baa come to consumers by the law of 189a In the first place, the increased cost of wool, as compared with prices in Europe, has forced the use of eotton and other adulterants to a great and extent; and, secondly, if woolen have not advanced, they might have1 been lower bat for the duties on wool. There is no question among .manufacturers that the act of 1890 was intended to advance prices, nor that It was well calculated to do as to the extent, that consumers could afford. The almost universal fall in prices was cause! in very small degree, if at all, by the tariff act of 189a The tremendous losses in the Argentine republic and elsewhere, the failure of the Barings, the distrust caused by silver legislation, the lqw price of eotton in the south on account of an enormons crop, the failure of crops in the north and west prior to 1891, causing dull trade and reduced consumption, are the principal causes that brought distress and fallinir nrices.

What those manufacturers and wool growers who arranged the wool schedule with the intention ot increasing prices want is, no doubt, to be let r alone, so that the tariff act may produce 1 under more favorable auspices the results they expected and worked for. But the rest that the public needs is a permanent relief from taxes which oppress both them and manufacturers, which hamper the latter, as every manufacturer admits, and which largely increase the cost of woolen goods to the public. The readjustment of the tariff on the basis of free wool is perfectly simple; it needs but the redioral of the duties on wool and a corresponding reduction of the duties on goods which were put on to offset thb the vest of the wool duties Hew is a g eat boon to every manufacturer of wool and to every consumer. The growth of the wool manufacture has undoubtedly been great daring ths St thirty years, for the country, with ^ast natural resources and eijormimmigration, has increased vastly in population and wealth; but the growth of the manufacture would he much more prosperous and much greater with free wool, and its growth and prosperity mean larger use of domestic wools and higher prioes abroad for all competing wools It is dear from the statements of tho National Association of Wool Manufacturers and from undoubted facts, emphasised by the vast increase in the imports of wool since the passage of the act of 18<K> and by the falling prices of Ohio wool, that this country .produces practically no carpet wool tosupply the demand for nearly 100,000,000 pounds needed by the carpet manufacturers, and only a part of the clothing and combing wools needed; and it is farther to be considered that the use of wool for so-called “woolens*’ would be much larger it the restrictions ot the wool duties did not greatly reduce the consumption of wool and largely increase the use of shoddy and cotton in so-called woolen goods. efta. - _

series of years of high duties on wool In the theory of the “new protection," It is laid down as a principle that “the necessities entering into the daily life of the mass of the people which we eannot economically produce should he made free.” On this principle wool should certainly he made free. It is a most important article for all the people. It is produced in this country in inadequate quantities, and not in the necessary varieties and qualities. Some indispensable grades can be prodnoed in this country only under eooditions unfavorable as compared with those of other countries. High duties for a quarter of a century have failed to produce any carpet wool in. this conn try, and have also failed to proluee an adequate supply of the wools needed for the woolen and worsted manufacture. And, at wool can be made free with a large reduction in cost of goods and with very little disturbance of trade or of inter ferenoe with sufficient protection, it is only reasonable that the ehanges suggested in schedule K of the act of ISM) should be made for the benefit of the whole people.
