TALMAGES SERMON. Discourse on the Harvest Time of the Com. ■Ill* Oht-Ttm* Basking B*M-Th« Bask T^lMcal of lh« Huuian Boilj —Hoik Caver flood Ean and Worthlean Mabklus. Be*. T. DeWitt Talmage presents the following seasonable sermon, basing it •pou the text: As a shock of eora cometh in la bis season— ink ».,* doing at the rate of 40 miles an hour « few days ago 1 caught this sermon. If you have recently been in the Helds of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or New York, or New England, or any of the country districts, you know that the corn is nearly all cut. The sharp knife struck through the stalks and left them all along the fields until a wait came with a bundle of straw and twisted a few of these wisps of straw into a band, and then gathering up as much of the com as he could compass with his arms, he bound it with this wisp of straw, and theu stood it in the field iu what is called a shock. it is estimated that there are now several billion bushels of corn standing in the shock, waiting to be husked. Sometime during the latter part of next mouth, the farmers will gather, one day on one farm, another day ou another farm, and they will put on their rough husking apron, and they will take the husking peg, which is a piece of irou with a leather loop fastened to the baud, and with it unsheath the corn from the husk aud toss it iuto the golden heap. Then the wagons will come along aud take it to the corn crib. How Vividly to all those of us who were lairti iu the country comes the remembrance of husking time. We waited for it as for a gala day of the year. it was called a frolic. The trees having for the most part ab.-d their foliage, the farmers waded through the keen morning air to the gleeful company. The frosts v\ hick had -ilvcred every thing through the uight la-gitu to melt off the top of the coru •bucks. While the farmers were waitfur others they stood blowing their breath through their fingers, or threshing their anus around their body to keep up warm lb of circulation. Roaring tuirth greeted the late farmer m he crawled over the fence. Juke •ud repartee and rustic salutation •bounded. All ready, now! The men take hold the shock of coru and hurl it prostrate, while the mole-, aud mice which have secreted thorns, ws there for warmth attempt escape. The wtthe of straw is unwound from the curu shook, aud the stalks, heavy w ith the wealth of grain, are rolled into two bundles, between which the husker tuts dowu. The husking peg is thrust in oiit.l it s-tnkcs ti.e corn, and tin n the lingers rip off the sheath lug of the ear, aud there is a crack as the root of the coru is snapped off from the hu>k. aud the grain, disimprisoned, is hurled up into the sunlight. The a r is so tonic, the work is v> vrei y exhilarating, the company is s.» blithe, that some laugh, aud some about, and some sing, and some hauler, aud some teas*- a ueighbor fora romauttc rule along the edge of the woods iu Xu e van tide. iu a carriage that holds but two, an«t s*uue prophesy as to the number of bushe s to the field, and oth. rs go iuto competition as to w hi h (diall rifie the most corn -shocks before autidow n. After awhile the dinner horn sounds fi otu the farm house, aud the table is surrounded by a group of jolly aud hungry men. From all the pantries and the cellars and the perches of fowl ou the place the richest dainties j coiue, and there is carnival and neighborhood reuniou. aud a scene which fills our memory, part w ith smiles, but more with tears, as we remember that the farm belongs now to other owners, •ltd other bauds gather iu the fields, and tuauy of those who mingled *u that merry husking scene have the»*>•rlvcs beeu reaped “like as a shock of com cometh iu in his season.” There is a difference of opinion as to |

whether the uncuUis kuew anything about the corn as it Mauds in our tlelds; j but recent discoveries i ive found ouf i that the Hebrew* knew ail about lu- | ditto maise, for there have been grains | uf the corn picked up out of ancient j crypts and exhumed from hidiug place* ; where they were put dowu many centuries ago. and they have been planted in our time and have borne up Just such Indian maixe as \vc raise in New York and Ohio; so 1 am right when 1 say that my text may refer to a shock of | corn just as you and 1 bound it, just as j |du aud i threw it, just as you and I I husked it. ‘idlere may come some j practical and useful aud comforting j Itsvins to all our soul* while we think | of couiiug in at last “like a shock of corn coumig in iu his season.** J It is high time that the King of Terrors were throwu out of the Christiau 1 vocabulary. A vast multitude of people talk of death as though it were the j disaster of disasters instead of being to 1 a good man the blesaiug of blessing*, j It is moving out of a cold vestibule into a warm temple. It is migrating _4uto groves of redolence and perpetual ! fruitage. It is a change from bleak j March to roseate June. It is a change j of manaclas for garlanda It is the transmuting of the iron handcuffs of earthly incarceration Into the diamond wristlets of; o bridal party; or to use the suggestion ! of sny text, it is only husking time. It • la the tearing off of the rough sheath of Ae bady that the bright and the ibeaaUfnl soul may go free. Coming in “like a shock of corn cometh in m his -oeasou.” Christ broke up a funeral l»rocesaiou at the gate of N’ain by maklug a resurrection day for a young man j sad his mother. And I would that i could break up your sadness and halt the loag funeral procession of the - world's grief by sOtne cheering and . cheerful view of the last trausitioo. , We all know that husking time was »* time of frost. Frost on the fence. •Frost on the stubble. Frost on the V

ground. Frost on the bare branches of the trees. Frost in the air. Frosts on the hands of the huskers. You remember we used to hide behind the corn stacks so as to keep off the wind, but still you remember how shivering was the body and how painful was the cheek, and how benumbed were the hands, llut after awhile the sun was high up and all the frosts went out of ; the air, and hilarities awakened the echoes aud joy from one corn shock went up, “Aha, aha!” aud was answered by joy from another corn shock, “Aha, aha!” So we all realise that the death of our friends is the nipping of many expectations, the freezing, the chilling, the frosliug of many of our hopes. It is far from being a south wind. It comes from the frigid north, and when they go away from us we stand benumbed in body and benumbed in mind aud behumbed in soul. We stand among our dead neighbors, our dead families, and we say: “Will we ever get over it?" Yes. we will get over it amid the shoutings of heavenly reunion. and we will look back to all these distresses of bereavement only as the temporary distresses of huskiug time. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy coineth iu the morning.” “Light, and but for a moment,” said the apostle as he clapped his hands, “light, aud but for a moment.” The chill of the frosts followed by the gladness that cometh iu “like as a shock of corn cometh in iu his season.” Of course, the husking time made rough work with the ear of corn. The husking peg had to bo thrust in and the hard thumb of the husker had to come down on the swathing of the ear. and then there was a pull and a ruthless tearing and then a complete snapping off before the corn was free, and if the husk could have spoken it would have said: “Why do you lacerate me? i Why do you wreach me? Ah! my friends, that is the way God has arranged that the ear and the husk shall part, aud that is the way lie has arranged that the body and soul shall separate. You can afford to have your physical distresses when you know that they are ouly forwarding the I Sv>ui'|k liberation. Every rheumatic paiu is ouly a .plunge of the husking peg. Every ueuralgic twinge is only a twist by the husker. There is gold iu you that must come out. Some way the shackle must be broken. Some way the ship must be launched for heavenly voyage. You must let the heavenly husbandman husk off the mortality from the immortality. There ought to be great consolation in this for all who have chronic ailments, since the Lord is gradually aud more mildly taking away from you that which lenders your soul's liberation, doiug gradually for you whfd for many of us iu robust health, perhaps. He will do iu one fell blow at the last. At the close of every illness, at the close of e'very paroxysm you ought to say: “Thank God, that is all past now; thank Uod, 1 will never have %o suffer that again: thauk God, 1 am so much nearer the hour of liberation.” You will never suffer the same paiu twice. You may have a new paiu in an old ‘place, but never the same pain twice. The pain does its work and then it dies. Just so many plunges of the crowbar to free the quarry stone for the building. Just so luauy strokes of the chisel to complete the statue. Just so many paugs to separate the soul from the body- You who have chronic ailments aud disorders are only paying in installments that which some us will have to pay iu one payment when we pay the dybt of nature. Thauk God, therefore, ye who have chronic disorders, that you have so much less suffering at the last. Thauk God that you will have so much less to feel in the way of pain at the hands of the heavenly husbandman when “the shock of corn cometh iu in his season.” Perhaps now this may be an answer U> a question which 1 asked one Sabbath morning, but did not answer: Why is it that so many really good people have so dreadfully to suffer? You often tiud a good man with enough paius and aches aud distresses, you would thiuk. to discipline a whole colony, while you will hud a man who is perfectly useless going around with easy digestion and steady nerves aud shining health, his exit from the world is comparatively painless. How do you explain that? Well,!! noticed iu the husking time that the huskiug peg was thrust into the corn and then there must be a stout pull before the swathing was taken off the ear. aud the full, round, healthy, luxuriant corn was developed; while on the other hand there was corn that hardly sefmed worth husking. We threw th*t iuto a place all by itself aud we called “nubbins.”

Some of it nu mildewed, and some of it was mice-nibbled, and some of it was crest promise and no fulfillment. All cobs aud no corn. Nubbins! After the good corn had been driven up to j the baru we came around w:ith the corn basket and we picked up these- j nubbins. They were worth saving; | not worth much. So all around us there are people who amount to nothr ing. They develop into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side by the world, and nibbled on the other side by the devil, and mildewed all over. Great promise and no fulfillment. All cobs and no corn. Nubbins! They are worth saving. 1' suppose many of them will gel to Heaven, but they are uot worthy to be mentioned in the day with those who went through great tribulation into the ; kingdom of our God. Who would not > rather have the pains of this life, the misfortunes of this life—who would not rather be toro. aud wounded, aud lacerated, and wrenched, and husked, aud at last go iu amid the Tery best grain of. the granary, than to be pro- j nounced not worth husking at all* Nubbins! In other words, 1 want to say to you people who have distress of body, and distress in business, aud distress of all sorts, the Lord has uot j any grudge against you. It is uot de- | rogatory, it iscomplimentary. "Whom j the Lord loveth lie ch&sLeneth.” and it j is oroof positive that there is some-1

thing valuable In .you, or the Lord would not have husked you. The husking time was the time of neighborhood reunion, and so Heaven will be just that. There they come up! They slept in the old village churchyard! There they come up! They reclined amid the fountains and the sculpture and the parterres of a city cemetery. There they come up! They went down when the ship foundered off Cape Ilatteras. They come up from i ail sides—from potter's field and out of i the solid masonry of Westminster abbey. They come up! They come | up! All the hinderances to their better nature husked off. All their physical l ailments husked off. All their liiu- | drances to usefulness husked off. The I grain, the golden graiu, the God-fash-ioned grain, visible and conspicuous. Some of them on earth were such disagreeable Christians you could hardly staud in their presence. Now iu | Heaven they are so radiaut you hardly ! know them. The fact is, all their imj perfections have been husked otf. [ They did not mean on earth to be disi agreeable. They meant well enough, i but they told you how sick you looked, and they told you how many hard j thiugs they had heard about you, aud j \ they told you how often they had to j stand up for .you in some battles, until i you wished almost that they had been | slain in some of the battles. Good, j pious, consecrated, well-meaning disj agreeables. There are monopolies on earth, mo- j I nopolistic railroads, aud monopolistic ! I telegraph companies, and monopolistic j ; grain dealers, but no monopoly iu re- ; iigiou. Ail who want to be saved may j I be saved, “without money and withI out price,” Salvation by the Lord Je- i j sus Christ for all the people. Of : j course, use common sense in this u»atj ter. You can not expect to get to [ Charleston by taking ship for Portland, aud you can not expect to get to Heav- j eu by going iu an opposite direetiou. j ■ Heiieve iu the Lord Jesus Christ and 1 | thou shall be saved. Through that j ; one gate of pardon aud peace all the j ! race may go iu. “Hut,” says some one, “doyou really | think 1 would be at home iu that su- j perual society if 1 should leach it?” I ! j think you would. 1 kuow y.»u would. , | 1 remember that in the husking time | there was a great equality of feeling atuoug the neighbors. There at one j corn shook a farmer would bo at work who owned 2tk> acres of ground. The man whom he was talking with at the next corn shock owued but SO acres of ground, and perhaps all covered by a mortgage. That evening, at the close of the husking day. one man drove home a roan span so frisky, so j full of life, they got their feet over the i traces. The other man walked home. Great difference in education, great difference in worldly mean; but 1 | noticed at the husking time they ail j seemed to enjoy each other's society, j They did not ask any mau how much j property he owued or what his education had been. They all seemed to be happy together iu those good times. And so it will be iu Heaven. Our Father will gather His children around Him, and the neighbors will come in, j ami the past will be rehearsed. Aud j some oue will tell of victory, and we will all celebrate it. And some one will of great struggle, and we will ail praise the grace that fetched him out I of it. And some oue will say: “Here is my old father that 1 put away with heartbreak. Just look ut him. he is as young as any of u->!" Aud some oue.! will say: “Here is my darling child | j that l buried iu Greenwood, and all ; the after years of my life were shadowed with desolation. Just look at her! She doesn't seem as is she had been sick a minute." Great sociality. Great neighborhood kindness. 1 do not know how you are coasti- | tuted. but i am so constituted that there-is nothing that so awakens reminisceuevs iu me as the odors of a cornfield when 1 cross it at this time of year, after the corn has been eut aud it stands iu the shocks. And so I have ; thought it might be practically useful for us to-day to cross the cornfield, and 1 have thought perhaps there might be some reminiscence roused j iu our soul that might be salutary aud might be saving. Iu Swe- ! den, a prima donna, while her home iu ! the city was being repaired, took a house in the country for temporary ; residence, aud she brought out her ' great array of jewels to show a friend who wished to see them. One night, after displaying these jewels, and leaving them on the table, and all her friends had goue, aud

me servants naa j»i>ue — one summer nigh—she sat th uk.ng aud looking into a mirror just ia front of her chair, when she saw ia that mirror the face of a robber looking ia at the window behind her and gazing at those jewels. She was in great fright, but sat still, and, hardly knowing why i she did so. she began to sing an old j nursery song, her fears making the pathos of the song more telling. Suddeniy she noticed while looking at the mirror that the robber's face hiyrt gone from the window, aud it did uot come back. A few days after the pr.ma donna received a letter from the robber, saying: **I heard that the jewels were to be out that night, aud 1 came to take them at whatever hazard; but when I heard you siug that nursery aoug, with which my mother so often sang me to sleep. I could not stand it, and 1 tied, and I have resolved upon a new and an houeat life.” Uhl my friends, there are jewels in peril richer that thcae which lay upon that table that night. They are the jewels of the immortal soul. Would God that some song roiling vp out of the deserted nursery of your childhood, or some soug rolling up out of the cornfields, the soug of the husWers twenty or forty years ago, might turn all our feet out of the paths of sin into the path of righteousness. Would God that those memories wafted ia on odor of song might start at this moment witth swift feet toward that blessed place where so manic of out loved ones have already preceded us, "as a shook of corn coineth in in his season.”

THE NASHVILLE EX. XUInote and Chicago Day Approprlatdg Cclchmlcd-Thc Altwdanec Wm Very Urge-Public Eirrclaca Mold on lh» Tornc« of the Iltlnula BttUdlaii-AddrctH* bjr Proiulncol M«n of Tmuwuce and IHhoh, Nashville, Tenu.,10 Oct. .—Illinois and Chicago day was celebrated in a very appropriate aud successful man* ner at the Tennessee Ceuteuuial exposition. The various delegations from Chicago arrived at 7:80 a. m., and were met by a reception committee of representative citizens of Nashville. At 1:30 p. m. the visitors proceeded to the exposition grounds to attend the exercises there. The attendance was very large and most gratifviug to the exposition management aud the Illinois people. The exercises, which were held on the terrace of the Illinois buildiug, began with music, aud Alex H. Revell, of Chicago, made the opening remarks. An address of welcome on behalf of the state of Tennessee was delivered by Gov. Taylor, lion. Lyman J. Cage, secretary of the treasury, was the next speaker. Hon. Carter 11. liarrisou, mayor of Chicago, responded in behalf of that city, aud Maj. Johu W. Thomas and Hou. Tally Brown welcomed the visitors on behalf of the exposition. The respouse on behalf of the Illinois state commission was made by Judge Richard S. Tuthill, and lion. 11. N. Higginbotham, president of the World's fair, also responded. The closing speech was by lluitcd States Senator William E. Masou, who spoke on behalf of llliuois. . After the close of the exercises the various buildings were visited. The Illinois commissioners and their guests were given a luneheonat the West Sid* Bark club in the afternoou. INFORMATION WANTED. How Are the Law* Directed Against AiluttrratUm of 1'ood*, Drug*. Etc.. Enforced ? Washington.Oet. 10. — By direction of congress, the department of agriculture is investigating the character and extent of the adulteration of food and drugs. It is generally believed that adulteration, sophistication, imitation, and misbrandiug of foods, drugs and liquors exist to a very great extent. Many of the states have enacted laws to prevent such practices, aiuf it is very desirable to know how these laws have been enforced, aud with, what results. As the general public is interested in the matter, as it affects health, morals j and legitimate trade, the department desires to secure accurate information, ! which may be seut direct to the chemical division of the department of agri- j culture. The department simply de- j sires a concise statement of facts; I which can bo fully substantiated, if j necessary, aud uot theories. YELLOW FEVER AT GALVESTON. Dr. tiuklera*. However. Doe# uot Aypre- j hvmt Serious Trouble. Washington. Oct. 10.—Late last | night Surgeon-General Wyman, of the] Marine hospital service received a brief i dispatch from Dr. John Guiteras, the . yellow fever expert, informing him of | the appearance of the disease in Gal- ! veston, Tex. The dispatch was as fol- ] lows: “Five cases of yellow fever now j here; three more have been. Will re- i port to local authorities. I do uot ap- j prehend serious trouble here, but j dengue causes much eoufusion." , Dr. Wyman has been in communica- j tion with Dr. Fisher, of Galveston, j aud State Health Officer Swearingen, j aud 1ms been advised that all necessary precautions have been taken to j prevent the spread of the disease. The officials of the Marine hospital service have known for several weeks of the existence of considerable dengue ! fever at Galveston, but they decline to express any opiuion of the development of the yellow fever at that , place. Dr. Guitcras would have beeu seut to Galveston sooner had it been possible to spare his services elsewhere. The doctors report lias uot yet been received. At Mobile, Ala., there were to-day seven new cases iu the city autl two deaths. Iu the county there was oue death, but no new cases.

HUNDREDS ARE ANXIOUS. W»ut to Secure a Share -of a Fortune Which Does Not Kxl«t. Washington, Oct. 11.—The treasury department has had many inquiries from time to time about the alleged estate of one Joseph Hall, of Philadelphia. which is supposed td be held in trust in the treasury department. The letters speak of this trust and at au j alleged 54-year lease given by Mr. | Hull to certain valuable property in < Philadelphia. Some time, ago it was i stated that ex-President Harrison was interested as an attorney in the estate. Many hundreds of people ail over the country have been drawn iuto the struggle for the money which they erroneously imagine lies in the treasury awaiting distribution. To all of these inquiries replies are sent out. informing the “heirs" that there is no such fund in the treasury, and that the only record in the treasury department of “Joseph Hall, oi Philadelphia." relates to a claim of about $3,000, which he tiled as an underwriter against the government in 1501 for cargoes seized by the French. The claim is one of the ordiuary French spoliation claims. GREAT BEDS OF FIRE. Results of Sons* of tbe Drl«d-l'p Marsh Fires In lutllaua. South Bkxd, lnd.,OcL10i—The marsn tires that hare been raging in this county have done unusual damage to the many huckleberry marshes, as well as burned much hay, many fences, etc. In some cases the woods hare burned. On a 300-acre marsh tract, a few mile* south of the city, the marsh muck has been burned down a distance of three or four feet to the underlying clay, creating in places great beds of fire under heaps of ashes.

POSTAGE STAMP ITEMS. Canadian dealers and speculators are g<oing frantic, in their efforts to work off the jubilee stamps at high prices. As a result, prices are steadily facing, and before many weeks they may be selling at their face value. An American who is traveling in Europe at the present time, reports having seen a block of 20 of the five-cent 1851, unused and with full original gum. A German dealer recently secured this unique treasure, and has refused an offer of $500 for it. At the second congress of the Olympian games, which meets in Havre, France, it is likely that Paris and the year 1900 will be decided upon for the next revival of the Olympian games. The occasion will also be marked by the issuing of a new series of postage stamps. A collector of confederate stamps has given it as his opinion that the ten-cent 1S63 with blue outer line is a very scarce stamp on the original cover the proportion being very small to the commoner % ninety. It was this gentleman who discovered the rare Livingston (Ala.) local, which turned up in the south some years ago.

Soft seajh made from half a round of hard soap and two quarts t-f boiling water, is more economical far laundry purposes than ordinary washing soap. HOW TO WASH EMBROIDERED LINENS. To wash embroidered linens so as not to fade the colors, fill a tub half full of warm water, to which add a little Ivory soap, wash eaeh piece through the suds carefully, rinse in blue water to which a little thin starch is added. Hang on the line to dry. Iron on the wrong side, pressing down heavily to bring out the stitches, thus restoring their original beauty. ELIZA R. PARKER. A Boy'* Ai>petit*. “Well.
