Les-ou:—"D-iVid NttBl."

1. And it came to pass, when S:n was returning from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi. 2. Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men up^ on the rocks of the wild goats. 3. And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave and Saul went in to cover his feel and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. -i. And the men of David said unto him. Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David rose, and cut of! the skirt of Saul's robe privily. o. And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut ofFSaul's skirt.

G. And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid thai I should do this tiling unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of (he Lord. 7. So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went his way. 8* David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried nfter Lr.ul, saying, My Lord the "King. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. 9. And David said to Saul, wherefore hearest thou men's words saying Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? 10.—Behold this dsy thine eye* have seen how the that the Lord had delivered thee to-day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee but mine eye hath spared thee and I said, I will not put forth mine nand aaainst my lord for he is the Lord\«aneinted. II.—Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand for in that cut off the skirt of thy robe, aud killed thee not, know thou and see that there is evil or transgressions in mine band, and yet I have not sinned against thee yet tbon huntest my soul to take it. 12. The Lord judge between me and hee, and the Lord avenge me of thee but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 13. Assaith the proverb of the ancients. Wickedness proceeedeth from the wicked but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 14. After whom is the kiner of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea? 15. The Lord therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hands,

David, skilled in switt and lithe movements, in his shepherd life, stealthily approached and cut a she*4 from the royal apiarel, and slipi-ed Imk to bis hiding place. D..ut.tl^s it was du6ky or dark in the cave, :'id hence his movements were more protected.

Verse 5: David must have lied manly heart in him at this time. He was ashamed of the appearance of trick and coward ice. Singular tha the fame D'tvid could afterward descend to such dastardly cowardice a? that by wl.ich he caused the death of Uriah.

Wr.-'e G: David's regard

16. And it came to pass, when mind and David might reason, "why, David had made an end of edeakingjeven Jonathan, Saul's son would tip-

these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up, his, voice and wept.—1 Samuel xxiv. 1-16. RUNNING REMARKS ON THE RECORD.

Verse 1: Such a big man as Saul, seated upon the broad throne of the Hebrew monarchy and crowned by God, looks pitifully small in his trembling fears of this unsupported son of Jesse. The wildernecs of Engedi skirted the western shore of the Dead Sea, quite distant from the stronghold of Sael at Gibuah. Yet David was the knight-mare that drove all serenity from Saul's mind. So soon as the King could quiet the Philisthines be put out after David

Verse 2. And with what an army! "Three thousand chosen men out of ail Israel"—after a refugee who was supported by a meagre force of malcontents (xxii, 2,). If to this time we have retained any respect for Saul, it now disappears being displaced by absolute contempt. It is almost a9 brave, humane, and majestic a movement as some politicians and military men of America have counseled. They would demand tbat all the United States shall be summoned to arms and spread over the distant West lest some desolate Modoc tribe shall conquer our country! Do you not detest a great lubber boy beating a little boy, leBt the fchool campus shall not all own the big fellow as boss?

Verse 3: The shores of the sea were walled with mountains on the west, These were penetrated with holes in whicbi the sheep and men, too, were wont to take refuge. They were of different sizes. Searching for the fugitive Saul steps aside into one of these caverns for a little season of secresy. "Saul went in to cover his feet," which we explain to the claes by saying he desired retirement for areason not revealed. Perhaps to take rest, and yet we are sot sure.

Verse 4: There is no record of the time when God made this promise to David. And the meaning of verse 4 may be this, as we would express it: "The time is here for you to finish this conflict. Providence has put your enemy into your hand. Now have done with him." This, we say, may safely be taken as the meaning of the passage. And yet it is not impossible that God bad made th© ex^ act promise recorded, although no notice of it occurs before this. The strongest argument against it is the fact that David does not use the opportunity, which we think he would have done if such explicit direction had been given. We incline to think these were words which David's friends put into God's mouth.

Saul lay down or sat down, it was only natural and convenient to lay asid'»»his outer earmenc. Possibly heplaccdit nt a distance from the

a man superior and polenta re of God's appointment v.aa profoundly grea t.

Verse IVy "stayng'i' his servants, we mean that he held tl.em hack He would Neil her touch the Kite's life himself nor allow his retainers Striking contrast to so many familiar cases where hired assassin? have acted for eager aspirants, in emptying the throne of reijrning monarehs.

Verses 8—15: David's manly appeal to Saul's magnanimity, and his (ins vindication of his innocence in every aspect of the case. This is a noble burst of eloquence.

Verses!(5—17: Saulwas for JI irislan smitten with shame and tiiiu-d with self reproach, and declared as sincere a profession of repentance as wretches him are capable of iking.

The substance of instruction in the lesson is upon the topic of sparing an enemy.There are three suggestive heads of thought. Sparing an enemy, jI—IN THE FACE OF WHAT OFFKNSK?

What had Saul done? Was th re any ^reat, praise due to Divid for withholding the death blow, and, instead, only cutting a slice from his garment? Yes because—

I. Saul had resolved to kill him. He had ordered his servants to kiLI him. He had arranged the battle with intent to kill him. He had hurled a deadly weapon with his own handDavid had spared a man who had openly and everywhere vowed the vengenee of death agains5 him.

Saul had pursued him, and was still after him. When Jonathan and David separa'ed in the last lesson, David went to Nob (xxi, 1.) But Saul's chief herdsman, Doeg, (xxi,7,) let David see his det rmination to tell Saul, David fk-d to Aebish (xxi, 10) then to the care of Adullam (xxii, 1,) thence across Jordan into the land of Moab (xxii, 3) then back again into the forests of Judah. And so on, up and down and across the land, he was hunted, as he graphically protrays in chapter xxvi, verse 20 Would it not have been most natural for David now to cut short this bloodthirsty pursuer when he is in his power. III.—THE ARGUMENTS WHICH SfiaHT

HAVE StOVKD DAA'ID

not to epare Saul: I. He had such a perfect opportunity. Saul was alone, unprotected, and unsuspecting. The King's blood might have been shed without a show of resistance. 2 His followers urged it (xxiv, 4) They were all enemies of Saul and all had suffered offense at tho King's hand. And doubtless they argued earnestly with David: "Now is your chance "never will you have such another." 3. Self-defense would bave justified it. 4. Solf Inievoot «.cl"v'lacd it, i.Vill Saul and the path to the throne for which he had been already anointed would bo open. 5. That meeting which David had clandestinely with the Kiug's son, the other day in the wilderness of Ziph, (xxiii., 16 17) would doubtiess come to

prove ot me putting an end to this dotestable old disturber." 6. The providence of God seems to haver appeared propitious. See what David afterwards said to Saul—xxiv, 10.

IV.—REASONS FOB. SPARIJiO 8AUI*. 1. Because he was the Lord's anointed. It was the piety and patriotism ol' David that delivered Saul now and once again—xxvi, 12. The God of Heaven denounces traitors and regicides. There is not a rebel in the South nor an enemy of the Government in the North who has not broken the law of God, as found in Romans xiii, 1-5. It is not the support of a party in politics, but the upholding of any hands which are for the time battling for national preservation. Be bis party politics what it may, any person, minister or layman, who allies himself with those who would break down our Government's related to Benedict Arnold, and not to David, the son of Jesse. Love of country is next to loving God. Hatred of treason should be next to hatred of Satan. 2. Because David felt sure the Lord himself would settle with Saul.—xxvi 10. 3. Because David had a good conscience concerning his own innocence. Had he done aught of which he WHB afraid to face the record, now would have been the best of times to stop the mouth of accusation. Sanl killed, David would have no superior to fear. How strong we are to the measure of a clear conscience. David was not driven to the medern device of spiriting witnesses out of the way. v.—REFLECTIONS FOR OUR LEARNING. 1. Civil promotion is a poor process by which to reach peace. The throneheights have always been storm-swept. Saul alter David gives a graphic picture of enemies after nominees for office and occupants of political places in our time. 2. A truly magnanimous man will never take advantage of bia prostrate enemy. And yet the search need npt be wearisome till you find those who, when a neighbor, especially if he be an enemy, is down, delight to give him an additional kick. 3. God's children should depend upon him for protection—1 Peter, II., 26,

Romans, XII., 19. Fly to the fields and to the friendly protection opened, to the desert ana the cave—but ever depend upon God. Have confidence in God's readiness to help you take care of yourself. Try to take care, under such an understanding of his providence, and he will never leave you nor forsake you

John Paul has made a midwinter voyage from New York to Liverpool, and sends his experience en route to the New York Tribune.

There was one villainous-looking fellow about decks,and the fact that he always bad bis hands in his coat pockets gave rise to the suspicion that he had dynamite stowed away there, and to this suspicion considerable color was given by the smudginess of his hands whon he Bhowed them at table they looked for all the world as though be was always fumbling over some kind of gunpowder. But it turned out eventually that he was one of the most harmless persons on board,—to-day and night board it would be called, I suppose, for he did little else but eat,—being simply an agriculturalist, who after an exhaustive survey or the farm lands of America (so far as a seven day's trip by rail froin New York, to Cincinnati, and a few nights in Chatham street concert saloons may be called exhaustive), was returning to his native Devonshire in disgust. A tiller of the soil he well may have been—certainlv his hands would have soiled the tiller. Great Agrippa, though what bands he did hold when it came to the beautiful but somewhat uncertain game of draw poker in ths evening (For, in anticipation of meeting our Minister to St, Jaines, it did seem necessary that we Americans should practice a little on the way over and the agriculturist having some curiosity about tho game it were manifestly discourtoeus as well as nn-American to refuse to enlighten him.) Nothing less than three of a kind ever fell to him by any sort of accident. And as, notwithstanding the most careful indoctrination, he had the vaguest ideas regarding the relative values of pairs, sequences, flushes and the like, this made it extremely embarrassingt YOH never could tell wba the fellow held—just as apt was he to bet on nothing at all as on a quartette of aces. Curiously enough he mastered the whole science of the game- in his very ignorance of it, making it death if a man stayed out, almost certain slaughter if be came in. Happily however, the sweet little cherub that eits up aloft, to keep watch o'er the fate of poor Jacks, did not permit the "ag of the free heart's hope and home to be so foully smirched as it would have hen bad a foreiyeer borne awav

Probably the smoking room would have been less extensively patronized had the weather been milder. Hut really it .s most "pokeiish" all the while,aiu-J, beyond an active stirring up at, the game of that name, wLtal is there so calculated to makethiugs warm—lor somebody, at least?

Of a Saturday wo sailed, and the next day was Sunday. At a quarter past ton precisely all the crew off duty were summoned aft, and praver books were distributed among them—very much like pikes to repi 1 boarders. The passengers, too—a majority at least gathered in thi- cnbin and, pulpit cushions were improvised Irom the sofa OMA'S, and the captain, .sitlin" at this extemporized desk in tho"full chronicalsof a commander in an Iuman uavy. sonorously read services in such eases appointed. Sunday was well kept, on the whole. Nothing beyond exigeant duties were required of the sailors. Even the ship aid not labor (because she is a ood ship, perhaps). And HS it was a day of rest, many of tbe passengers refrained from eating.

Until now no symptoms of 6ea-sick-ne.-s appeared. Suddenly vacancies began to occur at the table the voice of merrimeni was less loud. Mrs. Malapropper remarked to me confidentially tl^at she wished she were on terra cotta, and immediately disappeared in the direction of her state room. Good Mrs. Piper, the Stewardess, became an animated soup house, dispensing bowls of gruel.

A fair wind, anu moro than a hatful of it, we had all tho way over. Fying before it with the snow and sleet—the apdthena maranathaof heaven—pelting us pittilessly as wo flew, leaden sides above and shutting the horizon in on all sides while hissing around our bulwarks, seething in our wake, and boiling under our prow,

Ihe water, lik«a witche'soils, Burn green and blue and white, one could but think of the Ancient Matiner in his encbauted ship, driven drearily by the curse which l'oilowcd the twanji of hi.s cross-brow. And around us houercd white-winged gulls —antarctic ghosts the well might be of murdered albatrosses.

The most ancient mariner on our ship "averred" that in all his crossings of tho Atlantic, he had never made so cold a passage, and hazarded the re mark that it was a pretty routth sea. To which assertion of mine, our English radical (have I before mentioned that we had one on board?) immediately respond with a Big pardon, it's not what one would call a rough sea, you se?,but only a heavy swell.vou know." The words bad scarcely left"his mouth before he shipped a sea that wet him up to the middle. So it will be with bis political theories, I fancy—while he is arguing that things should not and can not bo as they are, he'll be saddenly lifted oft" his. f,?et by them!

It may be unfair to generalize from limited observation, but if called on now for an impromptu delinition of radical, I should define it as oue who disputes everything and talks principally about himself. I set out to be radical early in life, but finding that the orthodox viewed me with horror, that the moral looked upon me with disgust, while the great mass of people did not care a continental about me anyway, I quietly hauled in my contumacious horns and sent out new roots ou all sides, and have been much happier ever since'

It is possible to have to much of a good thing, and one tires even'of a fair wind after a week or two. The roll of the ship becomes monotonous, and a little pitch as a variation—the sort of a snort and toss that a snip gives as she dives into a head seawould be welcome, I'm never seasick, but we sit down to dinner, for instance,—a long wave comes and takes tbe ship in its arms, launching you from its topmost summit with a swish, as the bowler at ten-pins delivers his ball, and away you go scooting down an inclind plane of seeming interminable length,the sensation is as tiiough your Btomach were sliding away from you, and, in consequence, you eat with considerable uncertainty. In bed, too! My bones are sore with the rolling over and being pounded on both sides alternately. It is not Sancho Panza tossed in his blanket exactly, but it is Sancho Panza sua pended between two kicking mules. Between being thus "rocked" to sleep and stoned to death, the difference is triffllug.

As we made longitude, we slowly got into milder weather, and on the third or fourth day out there was quite a large representation on deck. And the sun several times looked out from behind the cloud veil which had overspread his fa^e, "The captain is making an obser« vation," I remarked to Mrs. Malapropper, as he stood one day with sextant in hand.

At breakfast Christman morning the captain told us that a bost had been carried away during the night, "by one of the radical's smooth seas/7 ho added, with just a soupcon ofsareasm in his voice.

The only other accideut of the voyage—if we except Jonathan Edward's rolling out of bed and getting rather a severe bump tin his nose was the breaking of a

whfel-chain, which happened on a terribly dark and rainy night as do all such contretempts at sea. An iron link, each part an inch in diameter, I* should say, and showing no appearance of flaw at the fract ure, snapped as 'twere a pipe^slein. Le you can imagine what a surge there must have been upon it. and what sort of a sen was '•tinning. In the moment that the

was beyond control of rudder, a co1uple of sails split into ribbons, but we kept our course most of the while and very lit tie alarm was excited a-

I mildly explained that I had been where duty had called me, on dtck, and that to my presence there the .-a 1 vation of the ship was mainly due. When I went iri'aud narrated how, when the wheel gave way, I manful ly seized the rudder, and held it with one hand till the tiller was mended, dexterously the while splicing the mainbrace with the other, peace was in some degree restored, though a certain degree cf incredulity was manifest on the usually believing face. "Besides, what good could I have done by being with my family at such a time?" "Why, if there was danger you could tell us of it. Only think, we might have all gone to the bottom without knowing it!"

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Rroncliitls, ConsEinption. A Wonderful Cure.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 13ch, 1874. R. V. Tierce, L. Buffalo, N. Y.: DEAR SIR—I suffered from catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years, and for several years from bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May. '72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive editorial'labors on a paper in New York City, I was attacked with bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total lose of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with hemorrhage Irom tbe lungs, having four severe blboding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days. In September followinc, I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in a very feeble state. My bronchial trouble remained, axd the catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losiug ground daily. 1 continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the tirsr, of March, '73, when I became so bad a3 to be entirely confined to tho house. A friend suggested your remedies. But 1 w»s extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost afl heart iu remedies, and bagan to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that von understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quautity of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their viaorous use according to directions. To my surprise I soon began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in a short time, brought oat a severe eruption, which continued several weeks. I felt much better, my appetite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis bad nearly disappeared, bad no Cough whatever, and I bad entrely ceased to raise blood and, contrary to tbe expectation of some of my friends, the cure has remained permanent. I have bad no more Hemorrhages from tbe Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much, and so long. Tbe debt of gratitude I owe for tbe blessing I have received at your bands, know no bounds. I am thoroughly sat is tided, from my experience, tbat your medicines will master tbe worn forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases. I have recommended them to very many, and shall ever speak in their praise.

Gratefully yours, WM. H. SPENCER.
