TBIBULATIONS. Rev. Dr. Talmage Points Out Some Valuable Lessons. The luMtlubi* Worth of snoot 8]TOpttj n~T of Adrornlty—Ood Sends Oor Trouble. to Lore-Mess-tocsin DUffoUe. Ber. T. De Witt Talmage, in the following sermon, addresses himself to those who loquaciously try to comfort people in trouble. The text is: , Miserable oomforters mo je ail—Job xtL, 1 The man of Ux had a great many trials—the loos of his family, the loss <of his property, the loss of his health; but the most exasperating thing that oame upon him was the tantalizing tniir of those who ought to hare sympathized with him. And looking around upon them, and weighing what they had said, he utters the words of my text.

Why did God let am come into me world? It is a question I often hear discussed, but never satisfactorily Answered. God made the world fair and beautiful at the start. If our first parents had not sinned in Eden they knight have gone out of that garden and found 50 paradises all around the earth — Europe, Asia, Africa, North And South America—so many flowergardens or orchards of fruit, redolent and luscious. "• I suppose when God poured out the Gihon, and the Hiddekel, He poured out, at the same time, the Hudson and the Susquehanna; the whole earth was very fair and beautiful to look upon. Why did it not stay so. God had the power to keep back sin and woe. Why did He not keep them back? Why not every cloud roseate, and every step a joy, and every sound music, and all the ages a long jubilee of sinless men and sinless women? God can make a rose ss easily as He can make a thorn. Why, then, the predominance of thorns? He can make good, fair, ripe fruit as well as gnarled aud sour ‘fruit. Why so much, then, that is gnarled and sour? He can make men robust in health. Why, then, are there so many Invalids? Why not have our I whole race perpetual leisure instead of j this tug, snd toil, and tusale for a live- i lihood? I will tell you why God let sin come into the world—when 1 get bn j the other side of the river of death, j That is the place where such ques- ■ tioas will be answered and such mysteries solved. He who this side that j river attempts to answer the question only illustrates his own ignorauce and incompetency. All I know is one great fact, and that is, that a herd of woes has come in upon us, trampling | down everything fair and beautiful. A sword at the gate of Eden and a sword st every gate. 1 remark, in the first place, that very Toluble' people are incompetent for the , work of giving comfort. Bildad and j Kliphaz had the gift of language and ! with their words almost bothered Job's | life out. Alas! for these voluble people that go among the houses of the afflicted, and talk, and talk, and talk, j and talk. They rehearse their own j sorrows, snd then they tell the poor sufferers thst they feel badly now, but they will feel worse after awhile. Silence! Do you expect with a thin court-plaster of words to heal a wound deep as the soul? Step very gently around about a broken heart. Talk very softly around those whom God has bereft. Then go your way. Deep sympathy has not much to say. A firm grasp of the hand, a compassionate look, just one word that means as much as a whole dictionary, and you have given, perhaps, ali the comfort that a soul needs. A man has a terrible wouud in his arm. The surgeon • comes and binds it up. “Now,” he .says, “carry that arm iu a sling, aud be very careful of it. Let no one touch it.” But the neighbors have heard of the accident., and they come in, and they say: “Let us see it.” And the bandage is pulled off. and this one aud that one must feel it and see how much it is swollen, and there is irritation, and inflammation, and exasperation. where there ought to be healiQg and cooling. The surgeon comes in and says: “What does this kjacan? You hare no business to touch those bandages. That wound will never heal unless you let it alone.” So there are souls broken down in sorrow. What they most want is rest, or very careful and gentle treatment; but the neighbors have heard of‘the bereavement, or of the loss, and they come in to sympathize, and they say: “Show j us now the wound. What were his { last words? Rehearse now the whole :

Hwoe. Ilotv did you feel when you •found you were an orphan?” Tearing off the baudages here, and pulling them off there, leaving a ghastly wound that the balm of God's grace had already begun to heal. Oh. let no loquacious people, with ever-rattling tongues, go into the homes of the distressed! i • - Again 1 nun ark that all those persons are incompetent to give any kind of comfort who act merely as worldly \ philosophers. They come an and say: j “Why, this is what you ought to hare ; os pee ted. The laws of nature must i hare their way;” and then they get eloquent over something they hare j aeen in post-mortem examinations. j Now, away with all human philosophy j at such a time. What difference does , It make to that father and mother what disease their son died of? Lie is j dead, and it makes no differencej whether the trouble was ip the epigaa- j trie or hypogastric region. If the j philosopher be of the stoical school, he will come and say: “Yon ought to j control your feelings. You must not cry so. Yon must cultivate a cooler temperament. You must hare selfreliance, self-government, self-control” —an iceberg reproving a hyacinth for having a drop of dew in its,, eye. A violinist has hia instrument, and he sweeps his fingers across the strings, now evoking strains of joy, and now strains of sadness. He can not play aUi the tunes oa

one string. The humsa soul is an in* strument of a thousand strings, and all sorts of emotions were made to play on it. Now an anthem, now a dirge. It is no evidence of weakness when one is overcome of sorrow. Edmund Burke was found in the pasture field with his arms around a horse's neck, caressing him, and some one said: “Why, the great man has lost his mind*-” No, the horse belonged to his son, who had recently died; and his great heart broke ovet* the grief. It is no sign of weakness that men are overcome of their sorrows. Thank God for the relief of tears. Have you never been in trouble when you could not weep and you would have given anything for a cry? David did well when he mourned for Absalom; Abraham did well when he bemoaned Sarah. Christ wept for Lazarus; and the last man that I want to iiee come anywhere near me when I have any kind of trouble is a worldly philosopher.

Again i remark that those persons are incompetent for the work of com* fort-bearing who hare nothing bat cant to offer. There are those who have the idea that you most groan over the distressed and afflicted. There are times in grief when one cheerfal face dawning upon a man’s soul is worth a? thousand dollars to hint. Do not whine over the afflicted. Take the ; promises of the Gospel and utter them I in a manly tone. ■: Do not be afraid to i smile if you feel like it. Do not drive ! any more hearses through that poor soul. Do not tell him the trouble was foreordained; it will not be any comfort to know it was a million years coming. If you want to hnd splints for a broken bone do not take cast iron. Do not tell them it is God's justiee that weighs out grief. They want to hear of God’s tender merey. In other words, do not given them aqua fortis when they peed valerian. Again I remark that those persons are poor comforters who have never had any trouble themselves. A larkspur can not lecture on the nature of a suowflake—it never saw a snowflake; and those people who have always lived in the summer of prosperity can not talk to those who are froze a in disaster. God keeps aged people in the world, I think, for this very work of sympathy. They have been through all these trials. They know all that which irritates and all that which soothes. If there are men and women here who have old people in the house, or near at hand so that they can easily reach them, l congratulate you Some I of us have had trials in life, and i although we have had many friends | around about us, we have wished j that father and mother were still alive ! that we might go and tell them. Perhaps they could not say much, but it would have been such a comfort to | have them around. These aged ones, j who have been all through the trials of life, know how to give eondolenee. Cherish them; let them leau on your arm, these aged people. IJf. when you speak; to them, they can not hear just { what you say the first time, and you | have to say it a second time, when you ! say it a second time do not say it sharply. If you do, you will be sorry for it on the day when you take the last look and brush back the silvery locks from the wrinkled brow just before they screw the lid on. Blessed be ! God for the old people! They may not j have much strength to go around, but j they are God's appointed ministers of j comfort to a broken heart. People who have not had trials themselves, can not give comfort to others. I They may talk very beautifully, and j they may give you a great deal of poetic j sentiment; but while poetry is perfume that smells sweet, it makes a very poor j salve. If you have a grave iu a path- j way, and somebody comes and eovers | it all with wild flowers, it is a grave yet. Those who have not had grief I themselves know not the mystery of a J broken heart. They know not the meaning of childlessness, aud the having uo one to put to bed at night, or the standing iu a room where every book and picture, and door are full of memories—the door-mat where she ] sat, the cup out of which she j drank, the place where she stood at the door and clapped her hands, the odd J figures that she scribbled, the blocks that she built into a house. Ah! no. j you must have trouble yourself before you can comfort trouble iu others. J But come all ye who have been bereft, j and ye who hare been comforted in ! your sorrows, and stand around these j afflicted souls aud say to them: “1 had j that very sorrow myself. God com- j for ted me and He will comfort you;” and that will go right to the spot. In other words, to comfort others, we must have faith in God, practical ex- | perienoe, and good, soubd, common sense.

.Again l remark, there is comfort in i the thought that God, by all this pro- j cess, k» going to make you useful. Do | you known that those who accomplish ' the most for God and Heaven have all j been under the harrbw? Show me a man that has done anything for Christ in tills day, in a public or private place, who has had no trouble, and j whose path has been smooth. An. no. Again, there is comfort in the j thought that all our troubles are a revelation. Have you ever thought of it in that connection? The man who has never been through chastisement is ignorant about a thousand things in his soul1 he ought to know. For Instance, here is a man who prides himself on his cheerfulness of character, lie has no patieuce with anybody who is depressed in spirits. Oh! it is easy for him . to be cheerful, with his tine house, his tilled wardrobe and wellstrung instruments of music, and tapestried parlor, and pleuty of money in the bank waiting for some permanent investment. It is easy for him to be cheerfuL But suppose his for tun j gbe» to pieces and his house I goes down under the sheriffs hammer, and the banks will not have anything to do with his paper. Suppose those people who were once elegantly eater- ; tained at his table get so short-sighted that they can not recognise him upon the street Hovfcthea? Is it so easy to 1m cheorful? It is easy to be cheerX \

f ul in Ike home after the day’s work la done, and the gas is turned on and the house is loll of romping little ones. But suppose the piano is shut because the fingers that played on it will no j more touch the keys, and the childish j voice that asked so many questions will ask no more. Then is it so easy? When a man wakes up and finds that his resources are all gone ho begins to rebel, and he says: “God is hard; God is outrageous. He had no business to do this to me.’’ My friends, those of us who have been through trouble know what a sinful and rebellious heart wc have, and how much God has to put up with, and how much God has to put up with, and how much we need pardon. It is only in the light of a flaming furnace that we can learn our own weakness and our own lack of moral resource. I once went through an ax factory, j and I saw them take the bars of iron : and thrust them into the terrible j furnaces. Then besweated workmen ,

with Ion# tougs stirred the blaze, ;j Then they bought out a bar of iron and put it in a crushing machine, and then, they put it between jaws that bit it in* twain. ' Then they put it on an anvil, and there were great hammers swung by machinery— each one half a ton in weight— that went thumpf thump! thump! If that iron could have spoken it would have said: “Why all this beating? Why must I be pounded any more than any other iron?'’ The workman would have said: “We want to make axes out of you—keen, sharp axas—axes tfith which to hew down the forest, and build the ship, and erect houses, and carry on a thousand enterprises of civilization. That is the reason we pound you.’* Now, God puts a soul in the furnace of trial, and then it is brought out and run through the crushing machine, and then it comes down on the anvil, and upon it, blow after blow, blow after blow, until the soul cries out: “Oh, Lord, what does all this mean?’’ God says: “1 want to make something very useful out of you. You. shall be something to hew with and something to build with. It is a practical process through which I am putting you.’’ Yes. my j Christian friends, we want more tools in the Churchof God; uot tnore wedges to split with. We have enough of these. Not more bores With which to drilL We have too many bores. What we really want is keen, sharp, welltempered axes, aud if therb be any other way of tnakiug them in the Hot furnace, and on the hard anvil, and under I the neavy hammer,! do not know what ! it is. Remember that if»God bring any j kind of chastisement upon you it is | only to make you useful Do not sit : down discouraged and say: “I have no more reason for living. I wish 1 were dead.’’ Oho there never was so much reason for your liviug as now! By this ordeal you have beexi consecrated a priest of the most high God. Go out and do your whole work for the Master. ; \.. Oh, how much condolence there is in this thought! I expect to see my kindred in lleaven—1 expect to see them just as eertainy as 1 expect to go home to-day. Aye, I shall more certainly see them. Eight or teu will come up from the graveyard back of Somerville, aud one will come from the mountains back of Amoy, China, and another will come up from the sea off Cape Hatteras, aud 30 will come up from Greenwood; and I shall know them better than 1 ever knew them before. And your friends—they may be across the sea. but the trumpet that sounds here will sound there. You will come up on just the same day. 2>ome morning you have overslept yourself, and you open your eyes and see that the sun is ; high in the heaveus, aud you say: “I; have overslept, aud I must be up i and away.” So you will open your eyes or? the moruing of the resurrection, in the full blaze of God's light, and you will say: “1 must be up j and away.” Oh, yes. you will come, ! and there will be a reunion, a reeon- ; struetion of your family. I like what j 1 laliburton <1 think it was)—gvtfkl old j Mr. Ualiburton—said in his last moments: “1 thank God that 1 ever lived, and that 1 have a father in iieaven, and a mother in Heaven, and 1 am now going up to see them.” 1 remark once more: Our troubles in this world are preparative for glory. What a transition it was for Paul— from the slippery deck of a foundering ship to the calm presence of Jesus! What a transition it was for Latimer from the stake to the throne! What a transition it was for Robert Hall— from insanity to glory; What a transition it was for Richard Baxter—from the dropsy to the “Saint's Everlasting Rest!” And what a transition it will be for you—from a world of sorrow to a world of joy.

John lioiianu. wneu ne was dying, said: "What means this brightness in the room? Have you lighted the candles?” "No,” they replied, "we have not lighted any candles.” Then said • he: “Welcome Heaven!” The light already beaming upon his pillow. On! ye who are persecuted in this world, your enemies will get off the track after awhile, and all will speak well of you among the thrones. Ho! \ ve who are siek now. No medicine to take there. * One breath of the eternal | hills will thrill you with immortal j vigor. And ye who are lonesome now. I There will be a million spirits to wel- I come you into their companionship. 0 ye bereft souls! There will be uograve- | digger's spade, that will cleave the aide of that hill, and" there will be no j dirge wailing from that temple. The river of God, deep as the joy of Hear j en, will roll on between banks odot : ous with balm, and over depths bright with jewels, and under skies roseate with gladness, argosies of light going down the stream to the stroke of glittering oars and the {song of angels! Not one sigh in the wind; not one tear mingling with the waters. The newspaper is not an enemy, bat an ally; not a curse, bat a blessing. It ; ought to be better. Let ns help make it so.—Rev. George H. Conte, Christian. Kansas City, Mo.

Mil »111 England’s Grand Old Man A nswers the Final Sammons of 1;ie • King of Terrors. — IT POSSESSED NO TERRORS FOR RIM. M Bwattfnl Life. Devoted to the Sewlee of Bis Country end Humanity, Fiiekered Oat Calmly and Peacefully In the Bosom x of His Family—Manifestations of Grief Everywhere, London, May 19.—Mr. Gladstone died at Hawarden, Wales, at 5 a. m. His end was peaceful and majestic.

Death won .no victory over the greatest Englishman of his time. The archenemy was to him a friend and refuge, whose coming he had lonjfcd for. and whose presence brought only infinite solace. The Last Boars of the Great Man. Hawabdkx, May 19.—Though the news of Mr. Gladstone’s death, which occurred^4t 5 a. m., spread rapidly, it was the tolling' of the Hawarden church bell which carried the sad tidings to every sorrowing home in this vicinity. Slowly the details of the last moments of the great statesman are coming out of the castle, where the grief is too profound to be intruded upon. The family was summoned at 2 a. m., owing to the perceptible sinking noticed by the medical watchers. From that time until Mr. Gladstone peacefully passed away no one left the death chamber. The only absentee was little Dorothy Drew, who had tearfully complained that her grandfather did not recognize her. * Even in that hour of agony kindly thoughts for others were not wanting. The old coachmau, who had been unable to be present when the servants bid farewell to the dying man, was summoned and remained to the end with his master. At 8:J*0 a. m. Dr. Dobie took his leave of Mrs. Gladstone and returned to Chester, deeply affected. Indeed, almost everyone around the castle was in tears. ‘ Dr. Dobie said he had been assisting Dr. Biss and Henry Gladstone to draw up a statement of Mr. Gladstone's last hours, which will shortly be ready. Th« American Ambassador Send* Condolence. The following dispatch has been received at Hawarden from United States Ambassador Col. John Hay: To Rt. Hon. Herbert Gladstone—I beg to present to all your family my heartfelt expression of sympathy at your personal loss, and at 1 the same time to reverently congratulate you and the English race everywhere upon the j glorious completion of a life tilled with splendid achievements and consecrated to the noblest purposes. (Signed] John Hat. Further details from Hawarden cas- j :le of the passing away of the great j English statesman show his ends was the most peaceful maginable. Tjhere was no sign of pain or distress. [Mrs. | Gladstone clasped her husband's Jhand and occasionally kissed it, while Rev. Stephen Gladstone read prayers and repeated hymns. The nurse in the meanwhile bathed the brow of the patient, who showed gratitude, murmuring: “How nice.” Then came the gentle, almost imperceptible, cessation of life in the midst of his son's prayer, and the weeping family slowly filed from the room, taking Mrs. Gladstone, who was induced to lie down, and who soon slept quietly. Mrs. Drew. Mrs. Henry Gladstone. Mrs. Stephen Gladstone, Miss Helen Gladstone and others attended early communion at Hawarden church, conducted by Rev. Stephen Gladstone. The ordinary service was prefaced with prayer from the burial, service. Many telegrams of sympathy are arriving at Hawarden. President Faure of France has telegraphed his condolence.

Manifestations of Orisf Ererywher*. London, May 19.—The deepest mani«* festations of grief are reported throughout the eountry. Flags are everywhere half-masted, the bells are tolling, shades are drawn down, and in the public galleries here the pictures of Mr. Gladstone have been draped with erape. The queen and the prince of Wales received an early intimation of the sad news, and immediately sent touching expressions of condolence to the widow. The Terror Ready to Leave. Si. Pierre, Martinique, May 30.— The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror, at Fort do France, has completed her repairs and is ready to leave at any moment. The Spanish ambulance ship Alicante yesterday changed her moorings from the inner to the outer harbor in order to take on coal. The British steamer Twickenham, with 2,000 tons of coal, has arrived at Fort de France. It is reported that a contract has been made with the Spanish government under the terms of which the Twickenham is to furnish 1 soak for a two months’ suddIj.

Bills mt Vue 1m Fukiouble raata. The question has been mooted over and over again whether the engrafting of French and German dishes upon the bill of fare of the better class of American restaurants is or is not an improvement. Many pretend that before their introduction our cooking was coarse, barbaric. This is an open question, but no bill of fare presents attractions to the dyspeptic, but they, like the bilious, malarious and persons With weak kidneys, can be cored by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. SOME NEW WAR TERMS. John Talked Poker Ip His Sleep and Had to Make aa Explanation. "John, what makes you stay downtown so late nights?" inquired an angry wife of her husband. “They’re talkin’ war downtown and urge that I tell my experiences in the last war as sort of pointers.” “But in your sleep you say T’m in.’ What does that mean?” “\\ hr, you know, if they’d ask me if I’d go to war again of course I’d say that, wouldn’t I, darling?"' ‘Yes, dear, and then sometimes you say: "It’s up to you.”’ “That’s when I’m going down the line asking questions of my company.” “But what do you mean when you say: ‘It’s open?”’ “l>o I say it loud?” “Yes, a little bit exclamatory.” “Well, that’s when the engagement opens up.” "And if you keep talking about the ‘reds’ and ‘whites’ what’s that?” “Oh, bless you, that’s the colors of the flag.” “Well, don’t go to war, will you, John?” “Unless my country demands it, then—” The explanation appeared to be satisfactory.—Denver Times.

Daughters Should bo Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood. What suffering frequently results from a Brother's ignorance; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter 1 Tradition says “woman must suffer,** and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examination; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. The following letterfrom Miss Mart* P. Johnson, Centralis, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: "My health became so poor that I had to leave school. 1 was tired all the timet and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought perbaps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice yon gave, and used Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as 1 ever was. 1 have gained flesh and have I a good color, lam completely cured of i irregularity.’*
