Mr. Broadacre ia a distinguisheo agriculturist and breeder of cattle and pigs. Among other things, he, some time ago, introduced a few specimens ot white and black pigs, of small size, easily fattened, and of very delicate flesh. The reputation of these interesting quadrupeds spread far and wide, and Mr. Broadacre daily received letters from the neighboring farmcra with regard to them. A short time age one of his greatest admirers wrote t' him as follows: “Respected S*r; I went yesterday ta the cattle show at M—■—.1 found there was a great variety of beasts, and I was astonished at not seeing you there.”—*.

A Theological Point.

A tiny boy, with a white, eager face and large brow, at once held j up his hand. “Please, air, why waa j Adam never a baby?” The sup* tin- j tendent coughed in some doubt as to : what answer to give, but a little girl of nine, the eldest of several brothers a ml sisters, came promptly to hm aid “Pleas* sir,” she said, smartly, 1*tho»s waa msbodv to nuaa him?"—Tit-Uita An Italian artist in London is said to have just perfected a new range-flndei which, it is claimed, will be of immense j service both in peace and war.

. IN GOD’S PARADISE. Rev. Dr. Talmage Talks About the Rest to Come. fhr Annoyances, Labors and Taxations of Life Wilt Soon 1m Forgotten la the Recuperation of the Heavenly Rest. In the following discourse Rev. Dr. Talmage draws a contrast between the fatigues of this world and the blissful recuperation of the heavenly paradise. The text is: Ari*e ye and depart, (or this is not your rest. —Micah, it, 10. This was the drum-beat of a prophet who wanted to arouse his people from their oppressed and sinful condition ;but it may just as properly be uttered now as then. Bells, by long exposure and much ringing, lose their clearness of tone; but this rousing bell of the Gospel strikes in just as clear a tone as when H first rang on the air. As far as I can see, your great want and mine is rest. From the time we enter life, a great many vexations and annoyances take after us. We have our holidays and our seasons of recreation and quiet, but where is the man in this world who has fouud entire rest! The fact is that God did not make this world to rest in. A. ship might as well go down off Cape Hatteras to find smooth water as a man in this world to find quiet. From the way that God has strewn the thorns, and hung the clouds, and sharpened the tusks; from the colds that distress us, and the heats that smite us. and the pleurisies that stab us, and the' fevers that consume us, I know that He did not make this world as a place to loiter in. God does everything successfully; and this world would be a very different world if it were intended for na to lounge in. It does right well for a few years. Indeed, it is magnificent! Nothing but infinite wisdom and goodness coaid have mixed this beverage of water, or hung up these brackets of stars, or trained these voices of rill, and bird and ocean—so that God has but to lift His hand, and the whole world breaks into orchestra. But after all, it is only the splendors of a king's highway, over which ire are to march on to eternal conquests. You and I have seen men who tried to rest here. They builded themselves great stores. They gathered arou nd them the patronage of merchant princes. The voice of their bid shook the money markets. They nad stock in most of the successful railroads, and in safe deposit vaults great rolls of

government securities. 1 hey had emblazoned carriages, high - mettled steeds, footmen, plate that Confounded lords and senators who sat at their table, tap estry on which floated.the richest designs of foreign looms, splendor of canvas on the wail, exquisiteness of music rising among pedastals of bronze, and dropping, soft as light, on snow of sculpture. Here let them rest. Put back the embroidered curtain, and shake up the pillows of down. Turn out the lights. It is 11 o'clock at night. Let slumber drop upon the eyelids, and the air float through Che halfopened lattice, drowsy with midsummer perfume. Stand back, all care, anxiety and trouble! But no! they will not stand back. They -rattle the lattice. They look under the canopy. With rough touch they startle his pulses. They cry out at 12 o'clock at night: “Awake, man; how can you sleep when things are so uncertain? What about those stocks? Hark to the tap of that fire bell; it is your district. How if you should die soon? Avyake, man! Think of it! Who will get your property when you are gone? What will they do with it? Wake up! Riches sometimes take wings. How if you should get poor? Wake up!*’ Rising on one elbow, the man of fortune looks out into the darkness of the room, and wipes the dampness from his fo-ehead and says: “Alas! For all this scene of wealth and magnificence—no rest!*’ 1 passed down a street of a city with a merchant. He knew all the finest houses on the street. * He said: “There is~something the matter in all these houses. In that one it is conjugal infelicity. In that one a dissipated son. In that, a dissolute father. In that, an idiot child. In that., the prospect of bankruptcy.” This world's wealth can give no permanent satisfaction. This is not your rest.

lou ana l nave seen men iry in another direction. A man says: “If Ij could only rise to such and such a place j of renown; if I could gain that office; if Icould only get the stand, and have ; my sentiments met with one good ; round of hand-clapping applause; if I could only write a book that would : liTe. or make a speech that would thrill, j or do an action that would resound!'* I The tide turns in his favor. His name i is on 10.000 lips. He is bowed to. and | sought after, and advanced. Men drink j his health at great dinners. At his fiery words the multitudes huzza. From galleries of beauty they throw garlands. From housetops, sis he passes in long procession, they shake out the national standards Here let him rest. It is 11 o'clock at night. Chi pillows stuffed with a nation's praise let him lie down. Hush! all disturbant voices In his dream let there be hoisted a throne, and across it march a coronation. Hush! Hush! “Wake up!" says a rough voice. “Political sentiment is changing. How i! you should lose this place of honor! Wake up! The morning papers are to be fnU of denunciation. Hearken to the execrations of those who once caressed you. By to-morrow night there will be multitudes sneering at th<* words which last night yon expected would be universally admired. How can you sleep when everything depends upon the next turn of the great tragedy? Up. man! Off of this pillow!** The man, with head yet hot from his last oration, starts np suddenly, looks oat upon the night, bat sees nothing except the flowers that lie upon his stand, or scroll from which he read his speech, or the books from

goes to his desk to finish his neglected correspondence, or to pen an indignant line to some reporter, or sketch the plan for a public defense against the assaults of the people. Happy when he got his first lawyer's brief, exultant when he triumphed over his first political rival; yet, sitting on the very top of all that this world offers of praise, he exclaims: ‘"No rest! np rest!" The very world that now applauds will soon hiss. That world said of the great Webster: “What a statesman! What wonderful exposition of the constitution! A man fit for any position!” That same world said, after awhile: “Down with him! He is an officeseeker. He is a sot. He is a libertine. Away with him!" And there is no peace for the man until be lays down his broken heart in the grave at Marshfield. While Charles Matthews was performing in London, before immense audiences, one day a worn-out and gloomy man came into a doctor's shop,saying: “Doctor, what can you do for me?” The doctor examined his case, and said: “My advice is that you go and see Charles Matthews.” “Alas! ^.las!” said the man: “I, myself, am Charles Matthews.” Jeffrey thought that if he could only be a judge that would be the making of him; got to \>e judge, and cursed the day in which he was born. Alexander wanted to submerge the world with his greatness; submerged it and then drank himself to death because he cquld not stand the trouble. Burns thought he would give everything if he could win the favor of courts and princess; won it, and amid the shouts of a great entertainment, when poets and orators and duchesses were adoring his genius, wished that he could creep back into the obscurity in which he dwelt on the day when he wrote of the Daisy, wee. modest, crimson-tipped flower. Napoleon wanted to make all Europe tremble at his power; made it tremble, then died, his entire military achievements dwindling down to a pair of military boots which he insisted on having on his feet when dying. At Versailles I saw a picture of Napoleon in his triumphs. 1 went into another room and saw a bust of Napoleon as he appeared at St. Helena; but, oh, what grief and anguish in the face of the latter! The first was Napoleon in triumph, the last was Napoleon with his heart broken! How they laughed and cried when silver-tongued Sheridan, in the midday of prosperity, harangued the people of Britain; and how they howled at and execrated him when, outside of the room where his corpse lay. his creditors tried to get

his miserable bones and sell them. This world for rest? “Aha!” ery the waters, “no rest here—we plunge to the sea.” “Aha,” cry the mountains, “no rest here — we tumble to the plains.” “Aha,” cry the towns1 “no rest here—we follow Babylon; and Thebes, and Nineveh into the dust.” No rest for the flowers; they fade. No rest for the stars; they die. No rest for man: he must work, toil, suffer and slave. Now, for what have I said all this? Just to prepare you for the text: “Arise ye aud depart; for this is not your rest.” I am going to make you a grand offer. Some of you remember that when gold was discovered in California, large companies were made up and started off to get their fortune, and a year ago for the same purpose hundreds dared the cold of Alaska. Today I want to make up a party for the Land of Gold. I hold in ray hand a deed from the Proprietor of the estate, in which He offers to all who will join the company 10,000 shares of infinite value in a city whose streets are gold, whose harps are gold, whose crowns are gold. You have read ol the Crusaders—how that many thousands of them went off to conquer the Holy Sepulcher. I ask vou to join a grander crusade—not for the purpose of conquering the sepulcher of a dead Christ, but for the purpose'of reaching the throne of a living Jeans. When an army is to be made up. the recruiting officer examines the volunteersihe tests their eyesight; he sounds their lungs; he measures their stature; they must be just right, or they are rejected. But there shall be no partiality in making up this tirmy of Christ. Whatever your moral or physical stature, whatever your dissipations, whatever your crimes, whatever your weakness, I have a commission from the Lord Almighty to make up this

regiment of redeemed souls, and I cry: “Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest.” Many of you hare lately joined this company, and my desire is that you all may join it. Why not? You know in your own hearts’ experience that what I hare said about this world is true- -that it is noplace to rest in. There are hundreds here weary— oh, how weary—weary with sin; weary with trouble; weary with bereavement. Some of you hare been pierced through and through. You carry the scars ol a score of conflicts, in which you hare bled at every pore; and you sigh: “Oh, that I hail the wings of a dove, that I might fly away and be at rest!" You hare taken the cup of this world's pleasures and drunk it to the dregs, and still the thirst claws at yoar tongue and the ferer strikes to your brain. You hare chased Pleasure through erery ralley, byeTery stream, amid erery brightness, and under erery shadow; but just at the moment when you were all ready to put your hand upon the rose, laughing sylph of the wood, she turned upon yon with the glare of a fiend and the ■teye of a satyr, her locks adders and her breath the chill damp of a grare. Out of Jesus Christ no rest. No roice to silence the storm. No light to kindle the darkness. No dry dock to repair the split bulwark. Thank God, I can tell yon something better. If there is no rest on earth, there is rest in Heaven. Oh, ye who are worn oat with your work, your hands calloused, your backs bent, your eyes half put out, your fingers worn with the needle, that in this world you may never lay down; ye discouraged ones, who have been waging a hand-to-hand fight for bread; ye to whom

the night brings little rest and the night more drudgery—oh, ye of the weary hand, and the weary side, and the weary foot, hear me talk about rest! Look at that company of enthroned ones. It can not be that those bright ones ever toiled? Yes! yes! These packed the Chinese tea boxes, and through missionary instruction e»* caped into glory. These sweltered on southern plantations, and one night, after the cotton-picking, went up as white as if they had never been black. Those dead of overtoil in the Lowell carpet factories, and these in the Manchester mills; those helped build the Pyramids, and these broke away from work on *he day Christ was hounded out of Jerusalem. No more towers to build; Heaven is done. No more garments to weave; the robes are finished. No more harvests to raise; the garners are full. Oh, sons and daughters of toil! arise ye and depart, for that is your rest. Scoviil McCallum, a boy of my Sunday school, while dying, said to his mother: “Don’t cry. but sing. Sing— There Is rest for the weary. There is rest for the weary. Then, putting his wasted hand over his heart, he said: “There is rest for me." But there are some of you who want to hear about the land where they never have any heartbreaks and no graves are dug. Where are your father and mother? The most of you are orphans. I look around, and where I see one man who has parents living I see ten who are orphans. Where are your children? Where I see one family circle that is unbroken I see three or four that have been desolated. One lamb gone out of this fold; one flower plucked from that garland; one golden link broken from ;that chain; here a bright light put out, and there another, v&nd yonder another. With such griefs, how are you to rest? Will there ever be a power that can attune that- silent voice, or kiudle the luster of that closed eye. or put spring and dance into that little foot? When we bank up the dust over the dead, is the sod never to be broken? Is the cemetery *to hear no sound but the tire of the hearse wheel, or the tap of the bell at the gate, as the long processions come in with their awful burdens of grief? Is the bottom of the grave gravel, and the top dust? No! no! no! The tomb is only a pla< e where we wrap our robes about us for a pleasant nap on our way home. The swellings of Jordan willonly wash off the dust of the way. From the top of the grave we catch a glimpse of the towers glinted with the sun that never sets. Oh, ye whose locks are wet with the dews of the night of grief; ye whose hearts are heavy, because those wellknown footsteps sound no more at the doorway, yonder is your rest. There is David triumphant, but once he bemoaned Absalom. There is Abraham enthroned; but once he wept for $arah. There is Paul exultant; but he once sat with his feet iu the stocks. There is Payson radiant with immortal health; but on earth he was always sick.« No toil, no tears, or partings, no strife, no agonizing cough, no night. No storm to ruffle the Crystal sea. No alarm to strike from the cathedral tower. No dirge throbbing from seraphic harps. No tremor in the everlasting song; but rest—perfect rest—unending rest. Into that rest how many loved ones have gonelSome put down the work ol inid-life. feeling they could hardly be spared from the store or shop for a

day, bat are to be spared from it forever. Some went in old age. One came tottering’ on his staff, and us *d to sit at the foot of the pulpit, his wrinkled face radiant with the light that falls from the throne of God. Another having lived a life of Christian couststeney here, ever busy with kindnesses for her children, her heart full of that meek and kind spirit that is in the sight of God of great price, suddenly her countenance was transfigured, and the gate was opened, and she took her place amid that great cloud of witnesses that hover about thevthrone. Glorious consolation! They are not dead. You can not make me believe they are dead. They have only moved on. Wit# more love than that with which they greeted us on earth, they watch us from., their high place, and their voices cheer us in our struggle for the sky. | Hail, spirits blessed! now that ye have passed the flood and won the crown. With weary feet we pass up the shining way, until in ever1 lasting reunion we shall meet again, j j Oh! won't it be grand when, our con- | tiicts done and our partings over, wt « shall clasp hands, and cry out: “This j is Heaven?” By the thrones of your departed kinj dred, by their gentle hearts, and the ! tenderness and love with which they 1 now call you from the skies, I beg yon start on the highroad to Heaven. In the everlasting rest may we all meet. One of the old writers wished he could have seen three things: Rome in its prosperity; Paul preaching; Christ in the body. I have three wishes: First—To see Christ in glory, surrounded by His redeemed. Second— To see Christ in glory, surrounded by His redeemed. Third—To see Christ itf glory, surrounded by His redemed. When on my new fledged wings I rise. To tread those shores beyond the sales, I’ll run through every tfolden street. And ask each blissful soul I nnet— Where is the God whose praise ye sing?
