“BCBJES SUBPASSED.’' -sRev, Dr. Talmage Draws a Pointed ■ Comparison. The V»I*e of True Religion to Its Possessor Far Greater than All Earthly Riches that Do Not Satisfy the Soul. The following sermon on “Robies Surpassed,'” based on one of the wise sayings of Solomon.* was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle. The text was: Wisdom Is better than rubles.—Proverbs ▼ill.. 11. ^ You have all seen the precious stone commonly called the ruby. It is of deep red color. The Bible makes much of it. It glowed in the first row of the high priest’s breast-plate. Under another name it stood in the wall of Heaven. Jeremiah compares the ruddy cheek of the Nazarites to the ruby. Ezekel points it out in the robes of the king of Tyre. Four times does SoTomos use it as a symbol by whieh to extol wisdom, or religion, always setting its value as better than rubies. > The world does not agree as to how the precious stones were formed. The ancients thought that amber was made of drops of perspiration {of the goddess Ge. The thunder-stone was supposed to have dropped from a storm-cloud. The emerald was said to have been made of the fire-fly. The lapis lazuli was thought to have been born of the cry of an Indian giant. And modern mineralogists say that the precious ■» stones were made of gases and liquids. To me the ruby seems like a spark from the anvil of the setting sun. xThe home of the genuine ruby is Burmak, and sixty miles from its capital, where lives and reigns its ruler, called, “Lord of the Rubies.” Under a careful governmental guard are these valuable mines of ruby kept. Rarely has any foreigner visited them. When a ruby of large value was discovered it was brought forth with elaborate eeremonv, a procession was formed, and with all bannered pomp, military guard and princely attendants, the m»m \rnc rrli t fn ^ia L'inflr’c !

Of great value is the ruby, much more so than the diamond, as lapidaries and jewelers wifi tell you. An expert on this subject writes: ‘‘A f*uby'of perfect color weighing five carats is worth at the present daj’ ten times as much as a diamond of equal tveight.” It was a disaster when Charles the Hold lost the rnby he was wearing at the Battlp of Grandson. It was a great; affluence when Rudolph II. iof Austria inherited a ruby from his sister, the queen dowager. It was thought to have had much to do with the victory of Henry V., as he wore it into the battle of Agincourt. It is the pride of the Russian court to own the largest ruby of all the world, presented by Gustavus III. to the Russian empress. Wondrous ruby! It has electric characteristics, and there are lightnings compressed in its double six-sided prisms. What shall I call it? It is frozen fire! It is petrified blood! Irnall the word there is only one thing more valuable, and my .text makes the comparison: “Wisdom is better than rubies.” But it is impossible: to compare two things together unless there are some points of similarity as well as of difference. I am glad there is nothing lacking here. The ruby is more beautiful in the night and under the lamplight than by day. " It is preferred for evening adornment. How the rubies glow, and burn, and flash as the lights lift the darkness! Catherine of Arragon had on her finger a ruby that lanterned the night. Sir John Mandeville, the celebrated traveler of four hundred years ago, said that the emperor of China had a ruby that made the night as bright as the day. The probability is that Solomon, under some of the lamps that illumined his cedar palace . by night, noticed the peculiar glow of the ruby as it looked in the hilt of a sword, or hung in the upholstery, or beautified the lip of some chalice, while he was thinking at the same time of the excellency of our holy religion as chiefly seen in the night of trouble, and he cries out: “Wisdom is better than rubies.’.

Oh, yes, it is a pood thing to have, religion while the sun of prosperity rides high and everything is brilliant in fortune, in health, in worldly favor. Yet you can at such time hardly tell how much of it is natural exuberance and how much %f it is the grace of God. Hut let the sun set, and the shadows avalanche the plain, and the thick darkness of sickness, or poverty, or persecution, or mental exhaustion fill the §oul, and fill the house, and fill the world; then you sit down by the lump of God's word and under its light the consolations of the Gospel come out; the peace of God which passcth all understanding appears. You never fully appreciated their power until in the deep night of trouble the Divine lamp revealed their exquisiteness. Pearls and amethysts for the day, but rubies for the night, , All of th$ books of the Bible attempt in some way the assuagement of misfortune. Of one hundred and fifty psalms of David at least ninety allude to trouble. There are sighings *n every wind, and tears id every arook, and pangs in every heart, it was originally proposed to calk Vue president's residence at Washington “The Palace” or “The Executive Mansion,” but after it was destroyed, in the war of 1814, and rebaiit., it was painted white to e^ver the marks of the smoke and fire that had blackened tl.e stone walls. Hence it was called “The White House.” Most of the things now white with attractiveness were once black with disaster. What the world most needs is the consolatory, .and here it comes, onr holy religion, with both hands full of anodynes, and sedatives, and balsams, as in Daniel’s time to stop moutjis leonine; as in Shadrach’s time to cool blast faif aces; as in Ezekiel’s time to console captivity; as in £t. John’s time to enroll an apocalypse over rocky desolations, Hear its soothing voice as it1 -declares: “Weeping may endure for a

night, bat joy cornet! in the morning;” “The mountains sha i depart and the hill be removed, but my loving kindness shall not depart from you;” “Whom the Lord love fch He chastenth;” “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb which * is in the midst- of the throne shall lead them to the living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away the tears from all their eyes.” “The most wholesome thing on earth is trouble if met in Christian spirit To make Paul what he was it took shipwreck, and whipping on the bare back, and penitentiary, and pursuit of wild mobs, and the sword of decapi tation. To make David what he was it took all that Ahithophel and Saul and Absalom and Goliath and all the Philistine hosts could do against him. It took Robert Chambers’ malformation of feet to make him the litersry conqueror. It was bereavement that brought William Haworth of Wesley’s time from wickedness to an evangelism that won many thousands for Heaven. The world would never have known what heroic stuff Ridley was made of had not the fires been kindled around his feet, and, net liking their slow work, he cried: “1 can not burn; let the fire come "to me; i I can not burn.” Thank God that there are gems that unfold their best glories under the lamp light! Thank God for the ruby! Moreover, I am sure that Solomon was right in saying that religion, or wisdom, is ttetter than rubies, from the fact that a thing is worth what it will fetch. Religion will fetch solid happiness, and the ruby will not. In all your observation did you ever find a person thoroughly felicitated by an encrustmenfrpf jewels? As you know more of yourself than anyone else, are you happier now with worldly adornments and successes than before you won them? Does the picture that cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars on your wall bring 3’ou as much satisfaction as the engraving that at the expense of five dollars was hung upon the wall when you first began to keep house? Do all the cut

nsry uitu mix piatc unit giubci uu juui extension dining-table surrounded by flattering .quests Contain more real bliss than the planx ware of the first table, at which only two sat? Does a wardrobe crowded with costly attire give you more satisfaction than your first clothes-closet with its four or five pegs? Did not the plain ring set on the third finger of your left hand on the day of your betrothal give more gladness than the ruby that is now enthroned on the third finger of your right hand? If in this journey of life we have learned anj'tliing, we have learned that this world neither with its emoluments nor gains can satisfy the soul. Why, here comes as many witnesses as I wish to tall to the stand to testify that before high Heaven and the world, in companionship with‘Jesus Christ and a good hope of Heaven, they feel a joy that all the resources of their vocabulary fail to express. Sometimes it evidences itself in ejaculations of hosanna: sometimes in doxology; sometimes in tears. A converted native of India in a letter said: “How I long for my bed, not that I may sleep; I lie awake often and long, but to hold sweet c&mmnnion with my God.” If so mighty is worldly joy that Julins II., hearing his armies were triumphant, expired; and if Talva hearing that the Roman senate has decreed him an honor, expired; and if Dionysius and Sophocles overcome of joy, expired, and if a shipwrecked purser waiting on the coast Guinea in want and starvation at the sight pf a vessel bringing relief, fell dead from shock of delight; is it any surprise to you that the joys of pardon and Heaven rolling over the soul should sometimes be almost too much for the Christian to endure and live? An aged aunt said to me: “De Witt, three times I have fainted de .d away under too great Christian j*»y. It was in al^ three cases at t le Holy Communion.” An eminent Christian man while in prayer said: “Stop, Lord, I can not bear any more of this gladness; it is too much for mortal. Withhold! Withhold!” We have heard of poor work

men or workwomen getting ft letter | suddenly te lling them that a fortune had been left them, and how they were almost beside themselves with glee, taking the first ship to claim the estate. Hut, oh, what it is to wake up out of the stupor of a sinful life and pardoning grace find that all our earthly existence will be divinely managed for our best welfare, and that then all Heaven will roll in upon the soul. Compared with that a spring morning is stupid, and an Angijsi sunset is* insane, and an aurora has no pillared splendor, and a diamond has no flash, and a pearl no light, and a beryl no aquamarine, and a ruby ho ruddiness. My gracious Lord'. My glorious God! My precious Christ! lloll over on us a billows of that rapture. Ar a p0w i ask you as fairminded rjpfc and women, accustomed to maJs*j comparisons, is not such a joy as that worth more than anything one cpu ’have in a jeweled casket? Was not Solomon right when he said: “Wisdom is better than rubies?*’ In olden time. Scotland was disturbed by freebooters and pirates. To rid the seas and ports of these desperadoes the hero, William Wallace, fitted out a merchant vessel,but filled it with armed men and put out to sea. The pirates with their flag inscribed of a death’s head, thinking they would get an easy prize, bore down upon the Scottish merchantman, when the armed men of Wallace boarded the craft of the pirates and put them in chains, and then sailed for port under the Scotch flag flying. And so our souls assailed of sin and death and held through Christ are rescued, and the black flag of sin is torn down and the striped flag of the cross is hoisted. Blessed be God for any sign, for any signal, for any precious stone that brings to mind the price paid for such a rescue! • I like the coral, for it seems the solid ified foam of breakers; and 1 like

the jasper. far it gathers sevent « colors into its bosom; and I like i ie jet, far it compresses the shadows of many midnights; and I like the chry o* prase, because its purple isi illmnii ;d with a small Heaven of stars; an i I like the chrysolite far its waves of color, which seem on fire. But t is morning nothing so impresses me list the ruby, for it depicts, it typifies it suggests “The blood of Jesus Ch .si; that cleanseth from all sin’"; “with ut the shedding of blood there is no ; remission.” Yea, Solomon was ri lit when in my text he said: “Wisdom hi better that rubies.” To bring out a contrast that wil illustrate my text, I put before yon -vo last earthly scenes. The one is i i ft room with rabies, but no religion, .tul the Other m a room with religion, a t no rubies. You enter the first ream, where an affluent and worldly mac is about to quit this life. There is a ruby on the mantel, possibly among this vases. There is a rutty in this head-dygss of the queenly t tfe. j On the finger of the dying man there is a rnby. The presence of these ru bies implies opulence of all kinds. The pictures on the walls are heirloom*., or the trophies of European travel. The curtains are from foreign looms. The rugs are from Damascus or Cairo. 'he sofas are stuffed with ease and quiet kIcs. The rocking-chairs roll backward And forward on lullabys-iThe pillows are exquisitely embroidered. A11 Ithe appointments of the room are a peroration to a successful commercial or professional life. But the man has no religion; never has had, and never professed to have. There is not a Bible or one religious book in the room.. The departing man feels that his earthly career is ended, and nothing opens beyond. Where he will land stepping off from this life -is a mystery, or whether he will land at all, for it may be annihilation. He has no prayer to offer, and he does not know how to pray ?io hope of meeting again in another state of existence. He is through with this life, and is sure of no other. The fuby

on ine maniei ana uie rnoy uu wasted finder of the departing1 on say nothing of the ransoming blood w hich they so mightily typify. So far as .giving solace or illumination to a departing spirit, they are a dead failure. Midnight of utter hopelessness drops on all the scene. Another room of mortal exit. Religion and no rubies. She never had money enough to buy one of these exquisites. Sometimes she stopped at a jeweler’s show window and saw a row of them in carnadining the v vet. She had keen taste enough to a ppreciate those gems, but she never o wntid one of them. She was not jealous or unhappy because others had rubies while she had none, llut she had a richer treasure, and that was the grtioe of God that had comforted her along the way amid bereavements, and temptations, and persecutions, and sickn esses, and privations, and trials of all sorts. Now she* is going ont of life. The room is bright, not with pictures or statues, not with upholstery not with any of the gems of mountain or of sea, but there is a strange and vivid glow in the room; not the light of chandelier, or star, or noonday sun. but sometimes that out shines all of them. It must be the presence of supernaturals. From her illumined face I think she must hear sweet voices. Yea, she does hear sweet voices—voices of departed kindred; voices apostolic and prophetic, and evangelic, but all of them overpowered by the voice of Christ, saying; “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom.” From her illumined face, I think she must hear rapturous music. Yea hhe does hear rapturous music, now soft as solos, now thunderous as orchestras; now a saintly voice alone,now the one hundred and forty and-four thousand in concert., From her illumined face I think she must breathe redolence. Yea, she does inhale roraa from off the gardens whose lowers never wither, and from the blossoms of orchards evpby tree of which bears twelve manner of fruit. From her illumined face, 1think she must see a glorious sight. Yat she sees the wall that has jasper at the base, an t amethyst at the top, and blood-red imbies between

Good-by, sweet soul! Why should you longer stay? Your work all don<. • your burdens all carried; your tears all wept! Forward into the light! U p into the joy! Out into the §r»pdeur And after you have saluted Christ, ari yiur kindred, search put him of the -palaces of Lebanon cedar, and tell hi * that you have found to be glorious j true what thousands of years ago he sserted in this morning’s text: “Wisdom is better than rubies.” And I here and now say to th forty millions of the earth to whose eyes these words will come, that on< >f my dearest anticipations is to meet them in Heaven. Ah! that will be better than rubies. Coming up from d flerent continents, from different hemispheres, from opposite sides of the ' e§ rth to greet each other id holy love In the presence of the glorious Christ who made it possible for ns to get there. Our sins all pa loned, our sorrows all banished, never weep,* never to part, never to die! I tell yon that will be better than ubiies. Others may have the crowns, and the thrones, and the scepters; givi us our friends back again, Christ, “tbs friend who stieketh closer than a brother,” and all the kindred who have gone up from our bereft households, am ill our friends whom we have never yet seen, and you may have all the rubies, for that will be “better than rubies. ” Instead of the dying kiss when ther 1 ooked so pale and wan and sick, it wil be the kiss of welcome on lips jnbilai ; with soug, while standing on iloor paved with what exquisiteness, und r ceilings hung with what glory, b unded by walls facing us with whats; endor, amid gladness rolling over as with what Doxology.

THE FARMING WORLD, AN EFFECTIVE BRAKE. How u IngealoQ* Farmer Had* Ono •* • Trifllni Eiptnaa. I took a short piece of cable chain just long' enough to go around an ordinary wagon shoe twice, as in Fig. : 1, and put it around the shoe, once in front and once behind the front clip at the points 4 and 5, 2 2 representing the clips as shown in Fig. 5. The chain is crossed on the bottom. The wagon shoe is wade from a piece of iron about 2 feet long, % inch thick and inches wide when the wagon tire is inches wide. One end is hammered down to ft tapering point as in Fig. 2 so as to make it some 28 or 80 inches long. It is then bent in the shape of Fig. 1 and a hole made in the small end and a ring put in at 1. Two clips, 2 2, the shape of Fig. 5, are riveted on about 10 inches apart and the shoe is complete as shown in Fig 1, the chips being made of Kx3 inches iron and abont 4 inches high. At 8, Fig. 1, a hole is drilled and an ordinary spur is riveted in. projecting about,J1 inch for icy roads. This fails to hold much and soon wears off. A better plan is to take a piece oi cable chain, put it behind the clip At 4, cross it on the bottom and put in front of clip 5 and return to the rear clip.

closing with a cold shut link. On the bottom it will appear as in Fig. 2. Last winter I used a short piece of chain simply put around the shoe between the clips as in Fig. 4. This worked nicely, but would not hold back as much as the chain closed. Fig. 3 shows the shoe in place under the wagon. It is put under by putting the shoe in front of the wheel and drawing the wagon into it. It is held in place by a chain running to the front axle. The space between the uprights on the clips should be one-fourth wider than the tire and the rim of the wheel on which it is to be used. At the foot of the hill back out of the shoe the same as in drawing into it. In the summer when hauling hay these shoes are used without a chain. Blacksmiths in this vicinity make these shoes and sell them at f 1 each, and everyone owning a wagon in a hilly country should have one for use in hauling wood, stone, hay, etc., especially when roads are slippery.—L. J. Clark, in Farm and Home. __ - PLANNING FARM WORK. A. Word About the Possibilities of Agricultural Endeavor. The possibilities of farming are great, and I am sometimes almost out of patience to see men who till the soil have so little faith in the business. I know of some men possessed of a few acres of land, who have so little faith in farming or gardening that they will let the land lie almost common, workout some and purchase what they could and should grow on their own acres. Instead of being obliged to buy their potatoes, garden stuff and grain, they should have all they want to use, besides .some to sell. When we consider that agriculture is the most ancient and honorable occupation under the sun, and in reality being the foundation upon which life itself is dependent, is it not a little strange how anyone can distrust the faithfulness of mother earth? Why, the man who owns in fee simple even a few acres should feel independent and put forth all his energies to improve it and make it rich, and grow all he can on it. One can hardly realize what a large amount of products he can grow from a -small area, if it is rich, until he has tried it Now is the time well calculated for the perfecting of plans. Those who own a few acres or those who own many, will do well to look the situation carefully over and lay their* plans for next year’s operations in a systematic manner, with faith in the soil which they t’lL—F.

AROUND THE APIARY. After choosing a place for the bee stands do not change it Italians produce a larger number of bees than blacks, and so, indirectly, more honey. The moth miller is a much to be dreaded enemy of the bees, but if the stock is kept strong they will not allow it to deposit its eggs on the comb. Thebe seems to be no limit to the study of bees. By the use of an observatory hive everything that goes on inside can be seen and something new learned every day. The honey of the Malta bees is noted for its purity and delicious flavor. This is due to the extensive crop of sulla (clover)t from which the bees extract most of their honey. Mbs. Atchlet has thought of an excellent way to haul bees. She has a f. ire cloth house on a wagon, and puts in it box hives of bees upside down without shutting the bees in the hives at alL After a drive of many miles but few were found flying about in the wire house.—American Farmer. The Feed in; of Young Docks. Ducklings will eat twice as much as ducks, but they will also eat almost anything that is given them. Though apparently voracious, they also grow twice as fast as chickens, and do pot cost any more per pound than chickens, as a duckling will weigh four pounds when nine weeks old if of the Pekin breed. Cooked turnips, beets, carrots or potatoes, thickened with brim, make at| excellent mess for them. Feed them four times a day, giving all that they will eat, and you can almost see them grow.—Farm and Fireside.
