tCoi i 'light, 1899, by Louis Klopsch.] Washington, May 28. In tl i . discourse I)r* Talmage speaks of som of the perils that threaten our Amerk na institutions, and points out the pa ,a of safety; text, Isaiah 62:4: '“Thy 1 i ud shall be married.” As t id greater includes the less, so ■does tl i circle of future joy around our ■entire rorld include the epicycle of our own re ; ablic. Bold, exhilarant, unique, Divine i magery of the text. At the close •of a \ elc in which for four days our nation il capital was a pageant and all that gi i nd review and bannered procession fn'il national anthemS could do, ■ -celebr etl peace, it may not be inapt to nntici] : te the time when the Prince of Peace i nd the heir of universal dominion sh i take possession of this nation, and *‘t i y land shall be married.” In d i cussing the final destiny of this nation : t makes all the difference in the -world ihether we are on the way to a funem I or a wedding. The Bible leaves no do-1 »t on this subject. In pulpits •and. oj platforms and in places of public co!. .ourse I hear so many of the muffle I drums of evil prophecy sound■ed, as ;hough we were on the way to national interment, and besides Thebes .and E . >ylon and Tyre in the cemetery of den: rations our republic was to be •entoixi i: id, that I wish you to understand : Is not to be obsequies, but nuptials; not mausoleums, but- carpeted altar; not cypress, but orange blossoms; [ at;requiem, but wedding march; for “t ty land shall be married.” I pr i [>ose to name some of the suitors “who t re claiming the hand of this republic . This land is so fair, so beautiful, sc .ffluent that it has many suitors, -and il will depend much upon your advice n tether this or that shall be accepter or rejected. In the first place, I remai: i : There is a greedy, all-grasp^ ing n: unster who comes in as suitor seeking the hand of this republic, and “that :i a onster is known by the name of mono idly. His scepter is made out of tfie re i 1 track and the wire of telegraphy , He does everything for his own -advantage and for the robbery of the people Things went on from bid to ■worst: until in the three legislatures of ijfew Turk, New Jersey and Pennsylvania lor a long time monopoly decided every hing. If monopoly favor a law, it pa!; ;cs; if monopoly opposealaw.it is rejected. Monopoly stands in the Tailrc: a tl depot putting into his pockets tn on: year $200,000,000 in excess of al^ reasc i able charges for services. Monopoly helds in .his one; hand the steam powe: of locomotion and in the other “the e! i otricity of ^Ift communication. Mono roly has the republican party in • one ] cicket and the democratic party Sn th other pocket. Monopoly decides nomi rations and elections—city elections state elections, national elections With bribes he secures the votes •of le;;! slaters, giving them free passes, givini appointments to needy relatives t o.lucrative positions, employing then, ‘is attorneys if they are lawyers, carry ii ag their goods 15 per cent, less if “they i re merchants, and if he find a case very 11 ubborn as well as very important puts i own before him the hard cash of

gpprim Bu monopoly is not so easily caught now 1.4 when during the term of Mr. ‘Bud: t aan the legislative committee in ♦one c! our states explored and exposed the manner in which a certain railway -company had obtained a donation of publ ( land. It was found that 13 of -the s 2 uators of that state received $175,4)00 ; i. nong them, 60 members of the low* • house of that state received between $5,000 and $10,000 each, the gov'Ornc • of that state received $50,000, his •clerl received $5,000, the lieutenant govenor received $10,000, all the clerks of t'J :<> legislature received $5,000 each, whi i $50,000 was divided among the lobb )? agents. That thing on a larger •or s i j idler scale is all the time going on in s ’ me of the states of the union, but it is 3sot so blundering as it used to be, sand therefore not so easily exposed or arre peel. I tell you that the overshad--owiJ jj curse of the United States to--day s monopoly. He puts his hand upo: i jvery bushel of wheat, upon every sacl :.f salt, upon every ton of coal, and -every man, woman and child in the Uni <d States feels the touch of that ■tnoi: iyed despotism. I rejoice that in *24 s z .tes of the union already anti-mo-nop > y leagues have been established. •God -peed them in the work of libera- * tio,j.l ■ I l ave nothing to say against capital! v:s; a man has a right to all the moi <;y be can make honestly. I have not ling to say against corporations as jsuc i ; without them no great enterpri;i i would be possible, but what I do •say s that the same principles are to be i pplied to capitalists and to corpoi i (ions that are applied to the poorest 1 :an and the plainest laborer. What is l ong for me is wrong for great corpoi i ions. If I take from you your Uiriy without any adequate comitiion I am a thief, and if a railway ges the property of the people jut making any adequate com pena that is a gigantic theft. What •ong on a small scale is wrong on *ge Beale. Monopoly in England ground hundreds of thousands of i >eut people into semiistarvation, and I inland has driven multitudinous f ats almost to madness, and in the i-f Mi States proposes to take the M th of 60,000,000 or 70,000,000 of peoput it in a few silken wallets, ly, brazen-faced, iron-fin--hearted monopoly, ofto this republic. He ‘ the lakes and up

the great rail toads and over the telegraph poles of the cont inei : and says: “Here are my heart and hand. Be mine forever.” Let the millions of the people north, south, east and west forbid the hann» of that marriage* forbid .them at the ballot box, forbid them cm the platform, jflrbid t hem by great organizations, H^bid them by the overwhelming sentiment of an outraged na tion, forbid them by the protest of the ehurch of God, forbid them by prayer to high Heaven. That, Herod shall not have this Abigail. Xt shall not be to all-de-vouring mono|>oly that this land is to be married.

Another suitor claiming ne nano oi this republic is nihilism. He owns nothing but a knife for universal cutthroatery and a nitroglycerin bomb for universal explosion. He believes in no God, no government, no Heaven and no hell except what he can make on earth. He slew the czar of Russia, keeps many a king practically imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln, would put to death every king and president on earth, and, if he had the power, would climb up until he could drive the God of Heaven from His throne and take it himself, the universal butcher. In France it is called communism; in the United States it is called anarchism; in Russia it is called nihilism, but that last is the most graphic and descriptive term. It means complete and eternal smash-up. It would make the holding of property a erime, and it would drive a dagger through your heart and put a torch to yaur dwelling and turn over this whole land into the possession of theft and lust and rapine and murder. Where does this monster live? In all the towns and cities of this land. It offers its hand to this fair republic. It proposes to tear to pieces the ballot box, the legislative hall, the congressional assembly. It would take this land and divide it up, or, rather, divide it down. It would give as much to the idler as to the worker, to the bad as to the good. Nihilism! This panther, having prowled across other lands, has set its paw on our soil, and it is only waiting for the time in w-hich to spring upon its prey. It was nihilism that burned the railroad property at Pittsburgh during the great riots; it was nihilism, that slew Mack people in our northern cities during the war; it was nihilism that mauled to death the Chinese immigrants years ago; it is nihilism that glares out of the windows of the drunkeries upon sober people as they go by. -Ah, its power has never yet been tested. I pray God its power may never be fully tested. It would, if it had the power, leave every church, chapel, cathedral, schoolhouse and college in ashes. Let me say It is the worst enemy of the laboring classes in any country. The honest cry for reform lifted by oppressed laboring men is drowned out by ;the vociferation for anarchy. The criminals and the vagabonds who range through our cities talking about tbeir rights, when their first right is the penitentiary—if they could be hushed up. and the downtrodden laboring men uf this country could be heard, there would be more bread for hungry children. In this land riot and bloodshed never gained any wages for the people or gathered up any prosperity. In this land the besst weapon is not the club, not the shillalah, not firearms, but the ballot. Let not our oppressed laboring men be beguiled to coming under the bloody bann er of nihilism. It will make your taxes heavier, your wages smaller, your table scantier, your children hungrier, your suffer^ig greater. Yet this nihilism, with feet red of slaughter, comes forth and offers its hand for this republic. Shall the bands be proclaimed? If so, where shall the marriage altar be, and who wrill be the officiating priest, and what will be the music? That altar wall have to be white with Reached skulls, the officiating priest, must be a dripping assassin, tjhe music must be the smothered groan of multitudinous victims, the garlands must be twisted of night shade, the fruits must be the apples of Sodom, the wine must he the blood of St. Bartholomew’s massacre. No! It is not to ni

musm, the sanguinary monster, that this land is to be married. Another suitor for the hand of this nation is infidelity. When the midnight ruffians despoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart in St. Mark’s churchyard everybody was shocked; but infidelity proposes something worse than that— the robbing of all the graves of Christendom in the hope of & resurrection. It proposes to chisel out from the tombstones of your Christian dead the words “Asleep in Jesus’” and substitute the words “Obliteration — annihilation.” Infidelity proposes to take the letter from the world’s Father, inviting the nations to virtue and happiness, and tear it up into fragments so small that you cannot read a word of it. It proposes to take the consolation from the broken-hearted and the soothing pillow from the dying. Infidelity proposes to swear in the president of the United States, and the supreme court, anjl the governors; of states, and the witnesses in the courtroom with their right hand on Paine's “Age of Reason,” or Voltaire’s “Philosophy of History.” It proposes to take away from this country the book that makes the difference between the United States and the kingdom of Dahomey, between American civilization and Bornesian cannibalism'. Jf infidelity could destroy the Scriptures it would in 200 years turn the civilized nations back to semibarbarism, and then from semibarbarism into midnight; savagery, until the morals of a menagerie of tigers, rattlesnakes and chimpanzees would be better than the morals of the shipwrecked human race. The only impulse in the right direction that this world has ever had has come from the Bible. I t was the mother of Roman law and of healthful jurisprudence. That book has been ’the mother of all reforms and all charities —mother of English inagna charta and American Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin, holding that holy lutood before aninfi

del dub is Purl* and read to them out j of the prophecies of Habakkuk, and the infidels, not knowing what book it was. declared it was the best poetry they had ever heard. That book brought George Washington down on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge, and led the dying Prince Albert to ask some one to sing “Bock of Ages." I tell yon that the worst Attempted crime of the century is the attempt to destroy this bode. Yet infidelity, loathsome, stenchful, leprous, pestiferous, rotten monster, stretches out its hand, ichorous with the second death, to take the hand of this republic. It stretches It out through seductive magazines.

and through lyeeuin lectures, and through caricatures of religion. It asks for all that pairt of the continent already fully settled and the two-thirds not yet occupied. It says: “Give me all east of the Mississippi, with the keys of the church and with the Christian printing presses. Then give me Wyoming, give me Alaska, give me Montana, give me Colorado, give me all the states west of the Mississippi and 1 will take those places and keep them by right of possession long before the Gospel can be fully intrenched. And this suitor presses his case appallingly. Shall the banns of that marriage be proclaimed? “No!" say the home missionaries of the west, a martyr bond of whom the world is not worthy, toiling amid fatigues and malaria and starvation. “No, not if we can help it* By what we and our children have suffered we forbid the banns of that marriage!" “No!” say all patriotic voices. “Our institutions were bought at too dear a price and were defended at too great a sacrifice to be so cheaply surrendered.” “No!" says the God of junker Hill and Independence hall and Gettysburg. “I did not start this nation for such a farce.” “No!” cry 10,000 voices. “To infidelity this land shall not be married P’ But there is another suitor that presents his claim for the hand of this republic. He is mentioned in the'verse following my text where it says: “As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” It is not my figure. It is the figure of the Bible. Christ is so desirous to have this world love Him that He stops at no humiliation of simile. He compares His grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind man. He compares Himself to a hen gathering the chickens, and in my text He compares Himself to a suitor begging a hand in marriage. Does this Christ, 4 he King, deserve this land ? Behold Pilate’s hall and the insulting expectoration on the face of Christ. Be* hold the Calvarean massacre and the awful hemorrhage of five wounds. Jacob served 14 years for Rachel, but Christ, my Lord, the King, suffered in torture 33 years to win the love of this world. As often princesses at their very birth are pledged in treaty of marriage to princes or kings of earlh, so this nation at its birth was pledged to Christ for Divine marriage. Before Columbus and his 130 men embarked on the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina for their wonderful voyage, what was the last thing they did ? They sat down and took the holy sacrament of the Lord Jesus Christ. After they caught the first sight of this country and the gun of one ship had announced it to the other vessels that land had been discovered, what was the song that w;ent up from all the three decks? “Gloria in Excelsis.” After Columbus and his 120 men had stepped from the ship's deck to the solid grouriti, what did they do? They all knelt and consecrated the new world to God. What did the Huguenots do after they landed in the Carolines? What did the Holland refugees do after they landed in New York? What did the pilgrim fathers do after they landed in New England? With bended knee and uplifted face and Heaven besieging prayer, they took possession of this continent for God. How was the first American congress opened? By prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ. From its birth this nation was pledged for holy mar

nage witu const. And then see how good God has been to us! Just open the map of the continent and see how it is shaped for immeasurable prosperities. Navigable rivers, more in number and greater than any other land, rolling down on all sides into the sea, prophesying large manufactures and easy commerce. Jjook at the great ranges of mountains timbered with wealth on the top and sides, metaled with wealth underneath. One hundred and eighty thousand square miles of coal. One hundred and eighty thousand square miles of iron. The land so contoured that extreme weather hardly ever lasts more than three days—extreme heat or extreme cold. Gimate for the most part bracing and favorable for brawn and brain. All fruits, all minerals, all harvests. Scenery displaying an autumnal pageantry that no land on earth pretends to rival. No South. American earthquakes. No Scotch mists. No London fogs. No Egyptian plagues. No Germanic divisions. The people of the United States are happier than any people cm earth. It is the testimony.of every man that has traveled abroad. For the poor, more sympathy; for the industries, more opportunity. Oh, how good God was to our fathers, and how good he has been to us and to our children. To Him—blessed be His mighty name—to Him of cross and triumph, to Him who still remembers the prayer of the Huguenots and Holland refugees and the pilgrim fathers—to Him shall this land be married. Oh, you Christian patriots, by your contributions and your prayers, hasten on the fulfillment of the text. Needed Him. “I must send them all circulars,” exclaimed the man who was addressed by his acquaintances as professor. “Those men who have testified in the investigation ought to know about me.” “What business are you in?” “I have a new system of memory training.”—Washington Star

CONVENIENT FARM BARN. My ba m, the ground plan of which ia shown herewith, I find to be very convenient for all purposes. The alleys in front of the horse and cow stables make it very easy to feed the different kinds of stock, and also to clean the mangers of any refuse that may be left. The lofts above the stables are reached by short ladders from the alleys. On one end of the cow stable is a box stall, which I find to be almost indispensable when the cows begin to drop their calves. So, also, is the stable used for ewes when they begin to drop

ground plan of barn. their lambs. The stables and alleys art well lighted by windows. In the alley in front: of the horses, and next to the side of the barn is a grain box large enough to hold several bushels, which is mouse proof. The barn floor is roomy, and affords a convenient place for storing wagons, as well as some farm tools. A track for a horse fork is fastened to the rafters in the peak of the barn and runs the whole length, so the hay can be unloaded from the floor and deposited in the bays or in the lofts over the stables at either end of the barn, by horse power. The sheep stable has an earth floor, which is thickly covered with dry straw before the sheep are put in for the winter. This stable is not cleaned out until spring. The content^ of the horse stable are thrown out through windows, while those of the cow stable are taken out on a wheelbarrow, and deposited with the horse manure, thus mixing the two.—Orange Judd Farmer. BREEDING HORSES. * _ Great Care Mast Be Taken tn Raising Colts an£ Preparing Then* for the Market. It will be admitted readily by a very large per cent, of men engaged in all lines of business that times have greatly changed and that methods of doing business have changed decidedly, says Spirit of the West, New conditions must be met. No intelligent or wellposted man will doubt the above, yet we have altogether too many farmers and breeders who have made' very few changes in the method of producing horses as regards breeding a higher class and also in care of the colts and maturing them for market. Somehow or other the same ambition to produce a first-class horse is not as strong as to produce first-class corn, wheat or oats. The impression prevails that the colt will, some time or other, without much care or attention, grow into a horse and sell at the average market price. There was a time when this was true, but that time has gone by. From the time the breeder contemplales breeding a colt he must begin to carefully study all the conditions. In the first place, he fnust breed to a first-class, well-bred, stylish, good-gaited stallion, and when the produce arrives he must count on giving it the best possible opportunity to develop asr quickly as possible and be ready for market. The growing and developing process is just as important as the breeding, and unless both are judiciously looked after and wisely performed the result will not prove satisfactory. AS time advances other conditions will follow that Will have to be > met, just the same as now. Conditions at the present timetdiffer from those of 20 years ago. There is only one way to succeed, and that is to keep up with the times.

Muslin Runs tor Chicles. ; j Muslin may be made to answer many purposes to poultrymen. It allows the heat of the sun to enter as readily a:n through glass, and does not radiate tho heat away as rapidly as does glass. lit is very cheap and may be rendered wa ■ terproof in many ways. Tresh bullock’!! blood and freshly slaked lime maki!an excellent' waterproof paint for such purpose, but pure linseed oil will probably answer neatly as well. If the muslin be drawn tightly in position It will turn the water without preparation. For covered runs to the chicken coops, or for shelter during storms, or as protection against the heat during the middle of the day, it is the cheapest material that can be used.—Farm and Rresid0-_ Alfalfa and Corn for Hogt, Farmers of the corn belt can get a good pointer on pig feeding from tie | alfalfa belt. I have seen a pig that was farrowed September 20, 1893, ai: d raised on a ration two-thirds of which was alfalfa hay, which is as large as a;i y pig- I can find in the corn belt farrowi ;d in June, July or August. The nr i>tials of King Corn and Queen Alfalfa are announced to take place on my far in at an early date. The fourth cuttii g of alfalfa is the best hay for hogs n | winter. This cutting is done late in the ; fall and is raked immediately and i shocked, thus curing without very much sun. The leaves and all are saved in a succulent condition, thus making a feed that is relished by the pigs.-*- j Homestead. It is not policy to keep the ram shut op or tied up. Give him a lot to run in.
