DeWitt Talmage, in the following sermon, calls all of the pur- : sued and troubled of the earth to come and slake their thirst at the deep river of divine comfort. The text: As the hart panteth after water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. David, who must some time have seen a deer hunt, points us here to a hunted stag making for the water. The fascinating animal called in my text the hart is the same animal that in sacred and profane literature is called the stag, the roe buck, the hind, the gazelle, the reindeer. In oentral Syria, in Bible times, there were whole pasture fields of them, as Solomon suggests, when he says: “I charge you by the hinds of the field.” Their antlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has been i long in “John Brown’s tract” will I wonder that in the Bible they were classed among clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lakes washed | th .a as clean as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venj ison, Esau shot and brenght home a | roe buck. Isaiah compares the sprightliness of the restored cripple of millennial times to the long and ouick [ Jump of the stag, saying: ‘‘The lame i shall leap as the hart.” Solomon exI pressed his disgust at a hunter who, | having shot a deer, is too lazy to cook j it, saying: “The slothful man roastI eth not that which he took in hunting.”

But one day David, while far from the home which he had been driven, and fitting near the mouth of a lonely cave where he had lodged, and on the banks of a pond or river, hears a pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Because of the previous silence of the forest the clangor startles him, and he says to himself: “I wonder what those dogs are after.” Then there is a crackling in the brushwood, and the loud breathing of some rushing wonder of the '.voods, and the antlers of a deer rend the leaves of the thicket, and by an instinct which all hunters recognize the creature plunges into a pool or lake or river to cool its thirst, and at the same time by its capacity for swifter and longer swimming to get away from the foaming harriers. David says to himself: “Aha, that is myself! Saul after me, Absalom after me, enemies without number after me; I am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking after my body, barking after my soul. Oh, the hounds, the hounds! But look there,” says David to himself; “that reindeer has splashed into the water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave thatwashes its lathered flanks, and it swims away from the fiery canines, and it is free at last. Oh, that I might find in the deep, wide lake of God’s mercy and consolation escape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters of life and rescue! *As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.’ ” The Adirondaeks are now populous with hunters, and the deer are being slain by the score. Talking one summer with a hunter, I thought I would like to see whether my text wus accurate in its allusion, and as I beard the dogs baying a little way off and supposed they were on the track of a deer. I said to one of the hunters in rough corduroy: “Do the deer always make for water when they are pursued?” He said: “Oh, yea, mister; you see they are a hot and thirsty snimsl, and they know where the water is, and when they hear danger in the distance they lift their antlers and

•niff the breeze and start tor tne Baquet or the Loon or Saranac; and we get into our cedar shell boat or 'stand by the ‘runaway’ with rifle loaded and ready to blaze away." My friends, that is one reason why I like the Bible so much—its allusious are so true to nature^ Its partridges are real partridges, its ostriches real j ostriches, and its reindeer real reindeer. 1 do not wonder that this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter’s eye sparkle and his cheek glow and his respiration quicken. To say nothing of its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, its 9esh delicious, its skin turned into human apparal, its sinews fashioned into bow-strings, its antlers putting] handles on cutlery, and the sharings of its horn used as a pungent restorative, the name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. But putting aside its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity. What an eye, with a liquid brightness as if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset! The horns, a coronal branching into every possible curve, and after it seems com- I plete ascending into other projections of exquiaiteness, a tree of polished bone, uplifted in pride, orswnng down for swful combat. The hart is velocity embodied. Timidity impersonated. The enchantment of the woods. Its 1 eye lustrous in life and pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle, and bone, and color, and attitude, and locomotion, whether crouched in the grass among the shadows, or a living bolt shot through the forest, or turning at bay to attack the hounds, or rearing for its last fall under the buckshot of the trapper. It is a splendid appearance that the painter’s pencil fails to sketch, and only a hunter's dream on a pillow of hemlock at the foot of St. aa able to oic tore. Whan, fi

miles from any settlement. It comes 1 down at eventide to the lake’s edge to drink among the lily ponds and, with its sharp-edged hoof, shatters the crystal of Long Lake, it is very picturesque. But only whan, after miles of pursuit, with heaving sides and lolling tongues and eyes swimming in death the stag leaps from the cliff into Upper Saranac, can you realize how much David had suffered from his troubles, and how much he wanted God when he expressed himself in the words of my text: “As . the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Well, now let all those who have coming after them the lean hounds of poverty, or the black hounds of persecution, or the spotted hounds of vicissitude, or the pale hounds of death, or w to are in any wise pursued, run to the wide, deep, glorious lake of divine solace and rescue. The most of the men and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharp-muzzled trouble after of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Somebody meanly attacked you, and you attacked them; or they depreciated you, you depreciated them; or they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall street parlance, to get a corner on them; or you have had a bereavement, and, instead of being submissive, you charge on the doctors who failed to effect a cure; or you charge on the carelessness of the railroad company through which the accident occurred; or you are a chronic invalid, and you fret, and worry, and scold, and wonder why you can not be well like other neonle. and you

angrily blame the neuralgia, or the laryngitis, or the ague, or the sick headache. The fact is, you are a deer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of divine consolation, and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul in the good cheer of the Gospel, and swimming away into the mighty deeps of God’s love, you are fighting a whole kennel of harriers. I saw in the Adirondacks a dog lying across the road, and he seemed unable to get up, and I said to some hunters near by: “What is the matter with that dog?” They answered. “A deer hurt him.” And I saw he had a great swollen paw and a battered head, showing where the antlers struck him. And the probability is that some of you might give a mighty clip to your pursuers, you might damage their business, you might worry them into ill health, you might hurt them as much as they hurt you, but, after all, it is not worth while. You only have hurt a hound. Better be off for the Upper Saranac, into which the mountains of God’s eternal strength look down and moor their shadow’s. As for your physical disorders, the worst strychnine you can take is fretfulness, and the best medicine is religion. I know people who were only a little disordered, yet have fretted themselves ito complete valetudinarianism, while others put their trust in God and come up from the very shadow’s of death, and have lived comfortably twenty-five years with only one lung. A man w’ith one lung, but God with him, is better off than a Godless man with two lungs. Some of you have been for a long time sailing around Cape Fear when you ought 10 have been sailing around Cape Good Hope. Do not turn back, but, go ahead. The deer will accomplish more with its awift feet than with its horns. I saw whole chains of lakes in the Adirondacks, and from one height you can see thirty, and there are said to be over eight hundred in the great wilderness of New York. So near are they to each other that your mountain guide picks up and carries the boat from lake to lake, thu small distance between them for that reason called a “carry.” And the realm of God’a word is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes; each promise a lake, a very short carry between them, and, though for ages the pursued have

been drinking out of them, they are full up to the top of the green bank*, and the same David describes them, and they seem so near together that in three different places he speakes of them as a continuous river, saying: “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God;** “Thou shalt make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures;”^ “Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water.** But very many of you who are wronged in the world—and if in any assembly between here and Golden Gate, San Francisco, it were asked that all those that had been sometimes badly treated should raise both their hands, and full response should be made, there would be twice as many hands lifted as persons present —I say many of you would declare: “We have always done the best we could and tried to be useful, and why we should become the victims of majignment, or invalidism, or mishap, is inscrutable.” Why, do you know the finer the deer and the more elegant its proportions, and the more beautiful its bearing, the more anxious the hunters and the hounds are to capture it. Had the roe buck a ragged fur and broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and a limping gait, the hunters would have said: “Pshaw! don’t let ns waste our ammunition on a sick deer.” And the hounds would have given a few sniffs of the scent, and then darted off in another direction for better game. But when they see a deer with antlers lifted in mighty challenge to earth and sky, and the sleek hide looks as if it had been smoothed by invisible hands, and the fat aides inclose the richest pasture that could be nibbled from the hanks of rills so dear they seem to have dropped out of Heaven, and the stamp of its foot defies the Jackshooting

hound, that deer they will hare it they must needs break their neck in the rapids. So it there were no noble stuff in your make-up, if you were a bifurcated nothin?, if you were a forlorn failure, you would be allowed to go undisturbed; but the #aet that the whole pack is in full crj after you is proof positive that you are splendid game and worth eapturing. Therefore, sarcasm draws on you its “finest bead." Therefore, the world goes gunning for you with its best Maynard breech-loader. Highest compliment is to your talent, or your virtue, or your usefulness. You will be assailed in proportion to your great achievements. The best and the mightiest being the world ever sa w had set after him all the hounds, terrestial and diabolic, and they lapped his blood after the Calvarean massacre. The world paid nothing to its Redeemer but a bramble, four spikes and a cross. Many who have done their best to make the world better have had such a rough time of it that all their pleasure is nn anticipation of the next world, and they could express their own feelings in the words of the baroness of Nairn at the close of her long life, when asked if she would like to live her life over again: Would you be young again? So would not I: s One tear of memory given. Onward 1’U hie; . Life's dark wave forded o'er. All but at rest on shore. Say, would you plunge once more, With home so nigh? If you might, would you now Retrace your way? Wander through stormy wlds, Faint and astray? Night's gloomy watches Ced. Morning ail beaming red, Hope's smile around us sh»d. Heavenward, away.

lea, for some people in this worm there seems no let-up. They are pursued from youth to manhood, and from manhood into old age. Very distinguished are Lord Stafford’s hounds, the earl of Yarborough’s hounds, and the duke of Rutland's hounds, and Queen Victoria pays $8,500 per year to her master of buckhounda. But all of them put together do not equal in number or speed, or power to hhnt down, the great kennel of hounds of which Sin and Trouble are owner and master. For Him I thirst; for His grace I beg; on His promise I build my all. Without Him I can not be happy. I have tried the world, and it does well enough as far as it goes, but it is too uncertain a world, too evanescent a world. I am not a prejudiced witness. I hare nothing against this world. I have been one of the moat fortunate, or, to use more Christian , word, one of the most blessed of men ! —blessed in my parents, blessed in the place of my nativity, blessed in my field of work, blessed in my natural temperament, blessed in my family, blessed in my opportunities, blessed in a comfortable livelihood, blessed in the hope that my soul will go to Heaven through the pardoning mercy of God, and my body; unless it be lost at sea or cremated in some con- j flagration.will lie down in the gardens of Greenwood among my kindred and friends, some already gone and others to come after me. Life to many has been a disappointment, but to me it has been a pleasant surprise, and yet I declare that if I did not feel that God was now my friend and ever-pres-ent help, I should be watched and ter-ror-stricken. But I want more of Him. I have thought over this text and preached this sermon to myself until with all the aroused energies of my body, mind and soul, I can cry out; “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, 0, God.”

Oh, when some of you pet there it will be like what ahunter tellsof when pushing his canoe amid the ice-floes, and a hundred miles, as he thought, from any other human being! He w*»s startled one day as he heard a stepping on the ice, and he cocked the rifle ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, barefooted and insane from long exposure, approaching him. Taking him into his canoe and kindling, fires to warm him, he restored him and found out where he had liTed, and took him to his home, and found all the village in great excitement. A hundred men were searching for this lost man, and his family and friends rushed out to meet him; and, as had been agreed at his first appearance, bells were rung and guns were fired, and banquets spread, and the rescuer loaded with presents. Well, when some of you step out of this wilderness, where you have been chilled and torn and | sometimes lost among the icebergs, | into the warm greetings of all the villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there is another soul for ever saved will call the caterers of Heaven to spread the banquet, and the bellman to lay hold of the rope in the tower, and while the chalices click at the feast, and the ! bells clang from the turrets, it will be ! a scene so uplifting I pray God I may be there to take part in the celestial merriment “Until the day break and the shadows flee away, be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bother." Why Are hi* (let Mad. “Then nothing that l ean say, A*ehibald, will prevent you from going to this cruel war’'’ “Sorry, little one, but you know—" “And yon've decided absolutely to join the navy?” “That’s right." “Then, Archibald, will yon make me a solemn promise?” “Promise any old thing.” “Well, I want you to promise me that before you begin to fight the Spaniards yonll take all the navy buttons off | your uniforms and pock thenf away, with directions that they be -seat t<a me Navy buttons make such lovely

IN HONOR OF A HERO. School Children Will Raise a Monument to La Fayette. October IB Has Been Set Aside aa MU Fayette Day” by tbe Governors of tbe Different States. [Special Correspondence.] On the 19th day of this month the students and school children all over these United States will unite in doing honor to one of the greatest and most beloved heroes of all history. The governors of the different states have issued proclamations setting aside October 19 as **L% Fayette day” in all the schools and educational institutions of the country. This is in compliance with a request from the special La Fayette memorial commission organized by the commission-gen-eral of the United States to the Paris exposition and in response to the warm and earnest personal recommendation cf President McKinley. On this special day exercises of a patriotic nature will be held in all tbe institutions of learning throughout the land, recalling the days of our early struggle for liberty and the connection of generous and boyish La Fayette therewith, contributions to be made at the same time by the students and children to the fund which is to erect a monument to the gallant hero’s roemors. The following letter has been issued from the executive mansion by President McKinley recommending the movement to the educational officials

It is altogether fitting, therefore, that the youth of America should have a part In this testimonial to his goodness and greatness. "I am glad to note that your committee has fixed a date when our people, in every part of the country, may testify their interest In this proposed monument and their determination that the movement already begun shall achieve the greatest success. "Very sincerely yours, "WILLIAM M KINLET." La Fayette, a boy of 19, gave up all Lis prospects of wealth and high position in France to come to the aid gfl this country when it was struggling for liberty, and that in its very darkest hour, it was when report came to Europe of great American losses and reverses and English victories that La Fayette started out, and, in spite of the direct mandate of the French king and the protests of his wealthy relatives and royal friends, and notwithstanding arrest and delay and all conceivable obstacles which were put in bis way, set sail with 11 picked companions for American shores. When this black news came from the patriot camp he said: "Then, the more do they need me,” and after much difficulty escaped in disguise over the French border into Spain and then* set sailHe had been promised by Silas Deane, the American representative in Paris. % commission as major general in the patriot army. When congress dissented to this on account of his age and in* experience. La Fayette, who was wait* lag without, sent in word that he be permitted 16 enter the army as a private and without pay. From this moment to the end of the revolutionary war this young Frenchman was one of the most ardent and able championa of the patriot cause. He immediately became Washington’s dearest friend ; and engaged with him in many of the council* which led to the final colonial victories. Monmouth, Brandywine, Baron Hill and Yorktown were scenes

of hi* exploits on the field, ms aid , to America, however, in this trying ! time was not confined to valor alone. He was instrumental in securing the j patriots success In a more material way. Through him it was that the alliance with France was finally secured which brought the turning point of the revolution. La Fayette, by bis influence in Paris, did possibly more than any other agency to induce the French king to take up arms with us against tyrannic England. It was through La Fayette’s agency #lso that the colonies secured that famous loan of 27,000.000 livres from the French government, of which that nation se*d later in regard to its payment: “Of ;*»* 27.000.000 we have loaned you we forgive you 9,000,000 as a gift of friendship. and when with the years there comes prosperity you can pay the rest without interest. Washington’s friendship for La Fayette continued throughout life, snd formed one of the greatest examples of mutual attachment in the hi* tory of great men, and both he and his successors until the death of La Fayette let no opportunity pass tc i*o the noble Frenchman honor, Upon the occasion of his visit to this country after American independence had been gained he was met with manifestations on the part of the people an paralleled in the records of appreciation of a nation.
