A SONG FOR THE PRINTING PRESS
•A Song for the Press; the Printing Press,
That has ruled the world alone,
Since the finger of God first gave His laws
On the tablet of senseless stone;
Bigce a spark of His wisdajff down sent—
Woke the slumbering thought to bigth, s
And the Press, as a meteor, flashed thro’ ■fth
glpom.
] The darkness that lowered o’er earth.
A Song for the Press; more potent far,
Than the fiat of crowned king, ^ j
Than the cohorts of war—than the ste«%
men—
1 Than the mightiest can bring.
Kingdoms, and tower and palace wall—
That have braved a century's might,
Crumble in ruin, and totter—fall,
When the Press wakes the giant might.
i
A Song for the Press; a lever long sought,
The world to sway in times olden,
to check the power of oppression’s hand.
Break the rule of the scepter golden,
Pierce the gloom of the dungeon, the cap-
« tive free.
i Rive oak door and iron rod,
And sent broadcast o'er a sin-bound world,
| The words of the living God.
A Bong for the Press; the angel that lines
In light on its record page,
Bach glorious thought aud each noble deed—
Each act of a passing age;
The historian’s pen, and the poet’s wand—
Each triumph, each God-born rhyme
(e recorded there, and forever lives,
fc_ Defying the touch of time.
A Bong for the Press; like the armed men
That rushed o’er Rome’s ivied wall,
fallen Liberty, swayed and trampled in
>, dust,
1 Caesar’s pride and judgment hall;
Bo its step awakes the downtrod one,
’Mid his traldom, his fear and doom,
And thunders in wrath round the crowned
, king,
LForetelling of death and of doom.
A Song for the Press; the East-born star
Of religion—of liberty—power—
Untrammeled by wealth—by passion un
swayed;
' Tls the index—the scribe of each hour,
And still shall remain—still the slender
l type .
L Shall “click,” and all nations bless,
nd the last star from earth that ever fades
I out,
^ Be the God-model’d Printing Press.

JULIET, THE ORPHAN,
BY AMY RANDOLPH.
“Well, Juliet, what are you calculat
ing to dol” said Mrs. Murdrignt.
“It’s time to make up your mind about
something, you know,” briskly observed
Miss Juniata Jessup.
Juliet May lifted her heavy head, and
looked at them with a vague surprise.
“Do?” she repeated. “What’s there
to do? I don't kuOw what you all
mean." •
She was a dark, large-eyed girl with
cheeks as pale as a caila-leaf, a Spanish
luxuriance of jet-black hair and a slight
figure, which seemed to be bound by the
weight of her deep mourning. Mrs.
Murdright was a tall, masculine woman,:
with iron-gray hair and a square chin.
Miss Jessup wore spectacles and moved
around in an active, jerky way, like an
extra-large-sized canary bird.
“Its a week to-morrow since your pa
was buried,” added Mrs. Murdright.
Juliet Winced.
“Yes,” she said; “I know it. Oh,
papal papa!”
“There, there,” said Miss Jessup, as
the young orphan hid her face in her
hands, “don’t give way. It’s unchris
tian, and it’s uncomfortable, tool”
“And it’s high time,” steadily ob-.
served Mrs. Murdright, “that you looked
matters in the face, Juliet May. You’ve
got your living to earn, and—”
“But I thought I was to live with
you,” said poor Juliet, who was as ig
norant iu the ways of the world as a six-
month-old infant. You arc my moth
er’s sister, Aunt Murdright, and—”
“That is hardly a reason why I should
undertake to support every relative I
have got in the world,” said Mrs. Murd
right, sourly. You aren’t a child,
Juliet. You was eighteen last month,
and there’s many a girl of your age earns
her own living and lays up a handsome
sum besides. And it’i close on the first
of June, and I need every room I have
to let to summer boarders.”
“And there is no reason,” supple*
mented Miss Juniata, skillfully seizing
the opportunity to strike it when Mrs.
Murdright paused for lack of breath,
“why you should sit with folded hands
while your cousin Artemisia works in
the skirt- factory, and Louisa Lacy goes out
to tailoring.”
Juliet sat looking from one to the oth
er, while her heart seemed to stand still
within her. At the Grange sho had al
ways lived in luxury. She had been tho
darling and idolized child of a doting
father. She had never paused to con
sider the question of mere money. All
good and lovely things seemed to assem
ble around her by magic. Every one
had spoken tenderly to her; and now—
and now—”
“What am I to do, Aunt Murdright?''
she faltered. “Is all my money spent?”
“Your money!” hysterically echoed
Miss Jessup. “Poor child! You hain't
got none. It's all gone in rash specula
tions and mad inventions.”
“Juniata speaks only the trulh,” said
Mrs. Murdright, stiffly, as Juliet’s eyes
sought hers, as if to ask corroboration of
the little old maid’s unfeeling words.
“You’re as good as a beggar, and you
must begin to consider in serious earnest
what you arc to do for your bread. 1
can't undertake to support you.”
Juliet put her little cold hand in a
pathetically pleading way on Mrs.
Murdright’s.
“Aunt,” said she, “couldn't I stay
here? Couldn’t I make myself useful to
you?”
Mrs. Murdright shrugged her shoul
ders.
“I’m very sorry,” said she, “but I
don’t require any one to play the piano,
aud sit around the house in picturesque
positions, and be waited on. You haven’t
been brought up as my girls are, Juliet
May!”
Juliet recoiled as if a serpent had stung
her; she turned to Miss Jessup.
“Cousin Juniata,” she said, “you, too,
ire my relative. Aid me I Advise met
You have age and experience—I am like
a lost child in this great, cruel, grinding
world!"
Verily Juliet May was but a novice in
all conventional wisdom, or she never
would have alluded so unguardedly to
the age aud experience of the sprightly
spinster. Miss Jessup bridled.
“I really don’t know that I have any
thing to say,” said she. “As Mrs. Murd
right remarks, people must expect to
work in this world I”
But Miss Jessup studiously banished
from her recollection the fact that, when
she had first set up dressmaking for her
self, Squire May had generously lent her
money for her lease, furniture, stock and
fixtures. Ho had never claimed a cent
of interest; he had never so much as
hinted at the repayment of his loan, and
she had been equally silent. Aud it is
to be presumed that sire had quite for
gotten the whole circumstance, when she
added, with some little vindictiveness;
“And, to my mind, it would have been
a deal wiser if your papa had looked a
little more closely to your money instead
of lending it to ne'er-do-wells like
Chauncey Graham to squander I"
“Cousin Chauncey was always good
and kind 1" cried Juliet, coloring up.
“He would have paid papa, if he could I
And it is mean and dishonorable of you
to say such things as these, Juniata Jes
sup!”
“Hoity-toity I” cried Miss Jessup.
“Meant Dishonorable! Well, if he ain’t
both, let him put iu an appearance and
say what he has done with that money 1”
As Mr. Graham was at that moment
supposed to he in Australia, engaged in
the management of a mammoth sheep
farm, this was perhaps a rather unreason
able demand. But, to Miss Jessup’s in
finite -amazement, and, perhaps, to bci
Iiisc5mfitu>e as Well,'the front door 'was
bushed open (it that juncture, and a
bronzed, bearded apparition, in * suit of
lome foreign style and cut, stalked in. '
! “Is this Mrs.. Moses Mtfl-drightV
house?” said he. “Can any one tell mo
if Miss Juliet hfay is ape?” i
t Mrs. Murdright snired, Miss Jessup
seemed equally amated 5 but, Wilh a cry,!
Juliet May sprang Id her feet.
- “Ohauhccyl” she cried. “It is my,
cousin Chauncey!”
’ “I am Chauncey Graham," said the,
young man. “I only arrived in the port!
of New York last evening. It all seems
so strange to me to hear that my cousin,{
.Squire May, is dead—that Juliet is with-j
out a home!”
i He stood in surprise, scarcely able to!
recognize in this tall Andalusian-facedj
.girl, the chubby-checked little play-;
fellow of former years. But when she 1
(flung herself so confidingly into his arms,
Qie held her with a tender and chivalric!
embrace.
“Ob, Chauncey, I am so glad that you
have come,” she sobbed. “Ob, I was
Jso lonely and forsaken 1 No one has
seemed to care for me, since papa died— 1
[no one offered me a home!”
“I will,” said Chauncey, quietly.
“There, there, little one, don’t fret. It
r is all smooth sailing now. Tho money
which your father lent me has borne
fruit, seventy times seven, and it is yours
now!"
, Mrs. Murdright hero recovered herself
so far as to extend a fish-like hand to Mr.
Graham; Miss Jessup pressed eagerly for-!
'ward.
“My dear Juliet," she said, with a lit-'
tie acidity, “you are such a mere baby!
Don’t you see that your cousin isn’t at
all Hie proper person to take charge of
you?”
i “Why not?” said Chauncey Graham.)
“It seems to me that I am the very one.'
,And my mother is in New York wait
ing to extend a mother’s tender care to 1
Juliet.”
“At all events, my dear,” said Miss 1
Jessup, “don’t cling to your cousin as ifi
he were a floating spar and you a drown-;
ing mariner! Do sit down! Dear|
Cousin Chauncey,” with a smile which
displayed every one of her false teeth to.
the very best advantage, “this is such an
agreeable surprise. We have thought'
and talked of you so much!"
While Sirs. Murdright hastened to pre
pare what she called “a little refresh
ment” for this relative who seemed so
much nearer and dearer since he had.
come back home with plenty of money.
“I wish, now,” she muttered, “that
tvo hadn’t been quite so sharp with
Juliet. She was a silly child, no doubt,
but if she is going to be rich again—Eh?
What?” to her niece who now presented
herself with a crape-vailed hot and ink-
ulaek draperies folded across her slender
ihoulders. “You’re uot going away so
loon, Juliet, my darling?”
“Chauncey says that his mother ex-;
pects us by the very next train," said
Juliet, upon whose pale cheek a new
color had kindled. “And we have no
lime to lose!”
“And,” simpered Miss Jessup, who
was hurriedly donning au extremely
youthful Gaiusborough hat with rosebuds
Ind daisies wreathed around its brim, “I
have volunteered to accompany dear
Juliet. Really, I have grown too fond of
her to allow her to slip away from me
like tills 1”
Mrs. Murdright made a grimace.
“The scheming old cat,” she thought.;
“She actually thinks she is going to lure
Chauncey Graham into marriage. Well,
l never did see such idiotic folly!”
But she said nothing of this as she
kissed Juliet good-bye with an effusive-
ntss which surprised the young girl.
“Farewell, my darling,” she said, aP
tnost tragically. “And remember that if!
fcver you need a home, my heart and
hearth arc equally open to you.” 1
“Why didn’t she say so before?"!
Juliet asked herself, vaguely amazed at)
what seemed to her such a surprising in-!
consistency. “Why did she talk so dis-j
gracefully about my being a burden, and)
earning my own living) And why is
Juniata Jessup coming back with us,|
without ever being invited?”
Poor little Juliet! She bad yet much)
lo learn of the ins and outs of this world 1'
Miss Jessup’s stay in New York, how-j
ever, was not prolonged. She came'
hack the next day, very ill satisfied
with her journey.
“Things are quite changed since I was)
a girl,” said she. “There’s Juliet en-;
gaged to Chauncey Graham already—or)
as good as engaged—a mere chit like
that, with no knowledge nor experience
of society! Aud Mrs. Graham taking;
on airs like the queen, and telling me,
up and down, that she didn’t care for]
hiy company! Me! Her own cousin
twice removed! And Juliet parting,
from me like a clam, never even kissing!
me nor telling mo she hoped to see me
againl”
“Humph!” said Mrs. Murdright.
“That’s generally the way rich people
behave. But I almost wish, Juniata, we
hadn’t been quite so short with tho
child!"
“Yes,” said Miss Juniata; “but who
was to suppose that sho was to be an
heiress, after all?”—The Ledger,

When a chaplain receives his commis
sion from the Government he begins a
career which, with ordinary prudence and
good conduct, will terminate only when
age has made him grizzled and gray. In

for the first live years of his service he is
paid $1500 per annum while on shore,
$1S00 a year when he is preaching at sea,

Secretary of the Navy will givo him a
leave of absence or let him roam around
the country in that delightful condition
which is known to officers of both the
army and navy ns “waiting orders.”
The hist report of tho Navy Depart
ment shows that out of tho twenty-four
chaplains six were in that delightful con
dition of “waiting orders,” and had been
for several months past, and of the others,
two fortunate ones were practically in the
same situation, for they had been granted
a leave of absence by the department,
and had hied themselves away to foreign
shores. The luckiest man among those
who arc “waiting orders” is Dominie

ranks as a captain in the navy and draws
a salary of $4500 a year when at sea, and

ried our camp equipment. We are led by an
Arab sheik, with his black Nubian servant
carrying a loaded gun in full sight, hut it is
the fact that this sheik represents the Turk
ish Government which assures tho safety of
the caravan.
We cross the Jehosliaphat Valley, which,
if it had dot been memorable in history and
were only now discovered, would excite the
admiration of all who look upon it. It is
like the gorges of tho Yosemite or the chasms
of the Yellowstone Park. The sides of this
Jehoshaphat Valley ore tunneled with graves
and overlooked by Jerusalem walls—an eter
nity of depths overshadowed by an eternity
of architecture. Within sight of Mount
Olivet andGethsemane and with the heavens
and the earth full of sunshine, we start out
on the very road mentioned iu the text when
it s&ya; “A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among
thieves.” No road that I ever saw was so
Well constructed for brigandage — deep
gulleys, sharp turns, caves on either side.
There are fifty places on this road where a
highwayman might surprise and overpower
an unarmed pilgrim. His cry for help, his
shriek of pain, his death groan would be an
swered only by the echoes. On thisroad to
day we met groups of men, who, judging
from their countenances, have in their veins
the blood of many generations of Rob Roys.
Josephus says that Herod at one time dis
charged from the service of the temple forty
thousand men, and that the great part of
them became robbers. So late as 1820 Sir
Frederick Henmker, an English tourist, was
attacked on this very road from Jerusalem
to Jericho and shot and almost slain. There
has never been any scarcity of bandits along
the road We travel to day.
With the fresh memory of some recent
Violence in their minds Christ tells the
people of the good Samaritan who came along
that way and took care of a poor fellow that
bad been set upon by villainous Arabs and
t-obbed and pounded anil cut. Wo encamped
for lunch that noon close by an old stone
building, said to lie the tavern where the
scene spoken of in the Bible culminated.
Tumbled in the dust and ghastly with
wounds the victim of this highway robbery
lay in the middle of the road—a fact of
which I am certain, because the Bible sayt
the pepplepassed by on either side. Then;
were 12,000 priests living at Jericho, and
they had to go to Jerusalem to officiate at
the temple. And one of these ministers of
religion, I suppose, was on his way
to tho temple servicej and he ik
startled as he sees this bleeding tictim in the
tniddle of the road. “Oh,” he says, “here is
a man that has been attacked of thieves.
Why don’t you go homer says tho minister.
The man, in a comatose state, makes no an
swer, or, with a half dazed Iook, puts his
wounded hand to his gashed forehead, and
drawls out, “What?” “Well,” says the min
ister, “I must hurry on to my duties at Jeru
salem. I have to kill a lamb and two pigeons
in sacrifice to-day. I cannot spend any more
time with this unfortunate. 1 guess some
body else will take care of him. But this is
one of the things that cannot be helped, any
how. Beside that, my business is with souls
and not with bodies. Good morning! Whei
you get well enough to sit up I will be glao
to see you at the temple.”
And the minister curves his way ou.
toward the overhanging sides of the
road and passes. You hypocrite! One of
the chief officers of religion is to heal wounds

&oon afterward a Levite came npon the
Beene. The Levites looked after the music
of the temple and waited upon the priests
ami provided the supplies of the temple.
This Levite, passing along this road where
we are to-day, took a look at the mass of
bruises and laceration in the middle of the
road. *‘My! my!” says the Levite, “this
man is awfully hurt and he ought to be
helped. But my business is to sing in the
choir at the temple. If 1 am not there no
one will carry my part. Besides that there
may not be enough frankincense for tho cen
sers and the wine or oil may have given out.
and what a fear, ul balk in the service that
would mane. Then one of the priests might
get his breastplate on crookeil. But it seem i

The ceremony at Jerusalem is of more im

man who will probably soon be dead anv
hot*. This highway robbery ought to be
stopped, for it hinders us Levites on our way
up to the temple. There, 1 have lost five
minutes already! Go along, you beast!” he
shouts as ho strikes his heels into the sides of
the animal carrying him, and the dust rising
from the road soon hides the hard hearted
official.
But a third person is coming along this
road. You cannot expect him to do any
thing by wav of alleviation, because he and
the wounded ipan belong to different nn
tions which have abominated each other
for centuries. The wounded man is au
Israelite, and the stranger now coming ou
tho scone of suffering is a Ham-triton. Thev
belong to nations which hate l each other
with an objurgation and yu* .'diction dia
bolic. They had opposition temples—one ou
Mount Gerizim and the other on Mourn
Moriah—and I guess this Samaritan, when
he comes up, will give the fallen Israelite
another clip and say: “Good for you! I
w ill just finish the work these bandits began,
and give you one more kick that will put
you out of your misery. And here is a rag
of vour coat that they did not steal, and 1
will take that. What! Do you dare to ap
peal to me for mercy? Hush up! Why, your
ancestors worshiped at Jerusalem when
they ought to have worshiped at Gerizim

say the Samaritan as he pounds tho fallen
Israelite.
No: the Samaritan rides up to the scene of
suffering, gets off his beast and steps down
and looks into the face of the wounded man
and says: “This poor fellow does not belong
to my nation, and our ancestors worshiped
in different places, but he itfa man, and tint
makes us brothers. God pity him, os I do.”
And he got down on his knees and begins to
examine his wounds and straighten out his
limbs to see if any of his bones are broken,
and says: “My dear fellow, cheer up; you
need have no more care about yourself, for
I am going to take care of you. Let me feel

will soothe the pain of these wounds, and the
other is wine, and your pulse is feeble and
you feel faint, and that will stimulate you.
Now I must get you to the nearest tavern.”
“Oh, no,” says the man, *T can’t walk; let
me stay here and die.” “Nonsense 1” savs
the Samaritan. ‘You are not going to die.
I am going to put you on this beast, and I
will hold you on till I get you to a place
where vou can have a soft mattress and nn
easy pillow.”
Now the Kamaritan has got tho wounded
man on bis feet, and with much tugging and
lifting puts him on the beast, for it is aston
ishing how strong the spirit of kindness will
make one, as yon have seen a mother aftei
three weeks of sleepless watching of her boy.
down with scarlet fever, lift that half grown
l>oy, heavier than herself, from couch to
lounge. And so this sympathetic Samaritan
has unaided put tho wounded man in the
saddle, aud at slow puce the extemporized
ambulance is moving toward the tavern.
“You feel better now, l think,” says the Sa-
muritau to the Hebrew. “V; s,” lie says, ‘ l
do feel better.” “Halloo, you landlord! help
me carry this man in ami make him com
fortable.” That night the Samaritan sat, up
with the Jew, giving him water when •ver
he felt thirsty and turning his pillow when
ever it got hot, and iu tho morning before
the Samaritan started on his journey he
said, “Landlord, now I am obliged to go.
Take good care of this man, and 1 will be
along nore soon again and pay you for all
you do for him. Meanwhile hero is some
thing to meet present expenses.” Tho “two
pence” he gave tho landlord sounds small,
but it was as much as ten dollars here an t
now, considering what it would there and
then buy of food and lodging.
As on that December noon we tat under
the shadow of the tavern where this scene of
xmrred, and just having passed
d where the tragedy had hap-
d, as plainly as 1 now see the
mercy had occurred,
along the road
pened, I could,
nearest man to this platform, see that Bible
story re-enacted, and. I said aloud to our
group) Under the tent* “One drop^f prac-
tiiAl Christianity is Worth more tndn a tem-
pleful of ecclesiasticisra, and that good Ba-
maritan had more religion in five minutes
than that minister and that Levite had in a
lifetime, and the most accursed thing on
earth is national prejudice, and I bless God
that I live in America, where Gentile and
Jew, Protestant and Catholic can live to
gether without quarrel, and where in the
great national crucible the differences of sect
and tribe and people are being molded into a
great brotherhood, and that the question
which the lawyer flung at Christ, ana which
bhoilght forth this incident df the good Sa
maritan—‘Who is my neighbor?’ is bringing
forth the answer, ‘My neizhbor is the first
man 1 meet in trouble,’ and a wound close at
hand calls louder than a temple seventeen
miles off, though it covered nineteen acres.”
1 saw in London the vast procession which
one day last January moved to St. Paul’s
Cathedral at the burial of that Christian
hero Lord Napier. The day after at Hawar-
den, in conversation on various themes, I
asked Mr. Gladstone if he did not think that
many who were under tho shadow of false
religions might not nevertheless be at heart
really Christian. Mr. Gladstone replied:
“Yes; my old friend Lord Napier, who was
yesterday buried, after he returned from his
Abyssinian campaign, visited us here at
Hawarden, and walking in this park where
wo are now walking he told me a very beau
tiful incident. He said: ‘j\fter tho war in
Africa was over we were on the march, and
wo had a soldier with a broken leg
who was not strong enough to go along
with us, and wo did not dare to leave
him te be taken care of by savagea but we
found we were compelled to leave nim, and
we went iiltd tho house of a woman who was
said to be a very kind woman, though of the
race Of savages, and we said, “Here is
a sick man, and if you tVill take care
of him till he gets well we will pay
you very largely,” and then we offered
her five times that which Would ordi
narily be offered, hoping by the excess of
pay to secure for him great kindness. The
woman replied: “I will not take care of him
for the money you offer. I do not want your
money. But leave him here, and I will take
care of him for the sake of the lore of
God.”’” Mr. Gladstone turned to me and
said, “Dr. Talmage, don’t you think that
though she belonged to a race of savUgea that
was pure religion!''” And I answered, “Ido;
I do.” May God multiply all the world over
the number of good Samaritans!
In Philadelphia a young woman was dying.
She was a wreck. Sunken into the depths
of depravity, there was no lower depth for
her to reach. Word came to the midnight
mission that she was dying in a haunt of
iniquity near by. Who would go to tell her
of the Christ ot Mary Magdalen? This one
refused and that ouo refused, saying, “I
dare not go there.” A Christian woman,
her white locks typical of her purity of soul,
said, “I will go, and I will go now.” Sh^
went aud sat down by the dying girl and told
of Christ who came to seek and save that
which was lost. First to the forlorn one
came the tears of repentance. and
then the smile, as though sne had
begun to hove for the pardon of Him
who came to save to the uttermost. Then
just before she breathed her last she said to
the angel of mercy bending overtier pillow,
“Would you kiss me?” “I will,” said the
Christian woman.'as she put upon her cheek
the last salutation before, in the heavenly
world, I think, God gave her the welcoming
kiss. That was religion! Yes, that was re
ligion. Good Samai itans along every street
and along every road as well as this one on
the road to Jericho.
But our procession of sightseers is again
in line, and hero we p iss through a deep
ravine, and I cry to the dragoman: “David,
what place do you call this?’’ and he re
plied: “This is the Brook Cherith, where
Elijah was fed by the ravens.” And in
that answer he overthrew ray life long
notions of the place where Elijah was waited
on by the black servants of the sky. A
brook to me had meant a slight depression
of ground and a stream fordable, aud per
haps fifteen feet wide. But here was a chasm
that an earthquake must have scooped out
with its biggest shovel or split with its
mightiest battle ax. Six hundred feet
deep is it, and the brook Cherith is a river
which, when in fui! fcive, is a silver wedge
splitting the mountuois into precipices. The
feathered descendants of Elijah s ravens still
wing their way across c iis ravine, but are
not like the crows we supposed them to be.
They areas large as eagle-, aud one of them
could carry in its l»ea!c and clinched claw at
once enough food for a half dozen Elijahs.
No thauksto the ravens; they are carniv-
trous, and would rather have picket out the
eyes of Elijah, whom they found at the
mouth of thee ivc on the side of Cherith
waiting for his breakfast, having drunk his
* oriiius beveragj from th» rushing stream
beneath, than have been his butlers and
purveyors,
But God compelled them, as He always has
compelled and always will compel black ancf
cruel and overshadowing providences to
carry help to His children if they only have
faith enough to catch the blessing as it drops
from tho seeming adversity, the greatest
blessing always corning not with white wings
but black wings. Black wings of convic
tion, bringing pardon to the sinner. Black
wings of crucifixion over Calvary, bringing
redemption for the world. Black wings of
American revolution, bringing free institu
tions to a continent. Black wings of
American civil war, bringing unifica
tion and solidarity to the republic.
Black wings of tho judgment day
bringing resurrection to an entombed
human race. And iu tho last day, when all
your life and mine will bo summed up, we
will find that the greatest blessing wo ever
received come on tho wings of the black
ravens of disaster. Bless God for trouble I
Bless God for sickness! Bless God for perse
cution! Bless God for poverty! You never
heard of any man or woman of great use to
the world who had not had lots of trouble.
The diamond must be cut; the wheat must
lie threshed; the black ravens must fly. Who
are these nearest tho throne? “These are
they who come out of great tribulation, and
had their robes washed and made white in
he blood of tho Lamb.”
But look! Look what at 4 o’clock in the
Afternoon bursts upon our vision—the plain
of Jericho, and the valley of Jordan, and the
Ilua/l Kxxa YVoJxoiro o «* • '• *~'V
imnuu somucu waiK as suae upon
their haunches, and we all dismount, for the
steep descent is simply terrific, though a
Princess of Wallachia who fell here and was
dangerously injured, after recovery spent a
large amount money in trying to make the
road passable. Down and down! till we saw
the white tents pitched for us by our mule
teers amid the ruins of ancient Jericho, which
fell at tho sound of poor music played on a
“ram’s horn,” that ancient instrument
which, taken from the head of the leader of
the flock of sheep, is jierforated and pre
pared to be fingered by the musical per-
brmer, and blown upon when pressed to the
ips. As in another sermon I have fully de-
eribed that scene, 1 will only say that every
lay for seven days the ministers of religion
went round the city of Jericho blowing upon
those rams’horns, and on the seventn day,
without the roll of a w ar chariot, or the
-.troko of a catapult, or the swing of a bal-
listn, crash! crash! crash! went the walls of
that maguifleont capital!
On the evening of December 6 we walked
amid the brick and mortar of that shat
tered city, and I said to myself: AU
this done by poor music blest of God, for
it was not a harp, or a flute, or a clapping
cymbal, or an organ played, at the sound
of which tho city surrendered to destruc
tion, but a rude instrument ranking rude
music blest of God, to the demolition of
that wicked place which, had for centuries
defied the Almighty. Aud I said, if all
this was by the blessing of God on poor
music, what mightier things could be done
by the blessing of God on good music, skill
tul music, gospel music. If all the good
that has already been done by music were
subtracted from the world I believe three-
fourths of its religion would bp gone. The
lullabys of mothers which keep sounding on,
though the lips that sang them forty years
ago became ashes; the old hymns in log cabin
churches and country meeting houses, and
psalms in Rouse’s version in Scotch kirks-
the anthem in English cathedrals; the roll or
organs that will never let Handel or Haydn
or Beethoven dm; the thump of harps, the
sweep of tho 1k>w across bass viols, the song
of Sabbath schools storming the heavens, the
doxology of great assemblages—why, a thou
sand Jerichos of sin have by them all been
brought down.
Heated by the warmth of our campfires
that evening of December fi, amid the bricks
aiid debris of Jericho,and thinking what poor
music has done nml what mightier things
•ould bo accomplished by the blessings of
God on good music. I said to myself: Min
sters have been doing a grand work, and
sermons have been blessed, but would it
lot lie well for us to put more emphasis on
music? Oh, for a campaign of “Old Hun-
red!” Oh. for a brigade of Mount Pis-
gahst Oh. for a cavalry charge of “Corona-
lions!” Oh, for an army of Antiochs and
St. Martins and Arielsl Oh, for enough
orchestral batons lifted to marshal all na
tions! As Jericho was surrounded by poor
music for seven days, and was conquered,
so let our earth be surrounded seven days
by good gospel music, and tho round planet
will bo taken for God. Not a wall of oppo
sition, not a throne of tyranny, not a pal-
mo of sin, not an enterprise of unrighteous-
ne&s, could stand tho mighty throb of such
atmospheric pulsation. Music! It hounded
it tho laying of creation’s comer htone
whim the morning stars sang together.
Music! It will lie the last reverberation,
when the archangel's trumpet shall wake
the dead. Musfol Let its full power be.
now tested to comfort and bless and arouse'
and save.
While our evening meal is being prepared
in the tents we walk out for a moment to
the “Fountain of Elisha,” tho one into which
the prophet threw the ralt because the
waters were poisonous and bitter, and lol
they became sweet and healthy; and ever
since with gurglo and Mugbter, they have
rushed down the hill and leaped from tho
rocks, the only cheerful object in all that
region being these waters.
Now on this plain of Jericho the sun is set
ting, making the mountains look like balus
trades and battlements of amber and maroon
and gold; and the moon, just above tho crests,
seems to be a window of heaven through
which immortals might be loooking down up
on the scene Three Arabs as watchmen sit
beside, the camp fire at tho door of
my tent, their low conversation irt
a strange language all night long a
soothing rather than un interruption.
I had a dream that night never to be for
gotten, that dream amid the complete ruins
of Jericho. Its past grandeur returned, and
I saw tho city as it was when Mark Antony
gave it to Cleopatra and Herod bought it
from her. And 1 heard the hoofs of its swift
steeds and the rumbling of its chariots and
the shouts of excited spectators in its amphi
theatre.
And there was white marble amid green
groves of palm and balsam; cold stone
wanned with sculptured foliage; hard pillars
cut into soft lace; Iliads and Odysseys in
granite; basalt jet as the night mounted by
carbuncle flaming as the morning; upholstery
dyed as though dipped in tho blood of battle
fields; robes encrustel with diamond; mo
saics white as sea foam flashed on by auroras;
gayeties which the sun saw by day rivaled by
revels the moon saw by night; blashphemy
built against the sky; ceilings stellar as the
midnight heavens; grandeurs turreted,
archivolted and intercolunmar; wickedness
so appalling that established vocalmlaryTails,
and wo must make an adjective and call it
Herodic.
The region round about the city walls
seemed to me white with cotton such as
Thenius describes as once growing there,
and sweet with sugarcane, and luscious with
orange and figs and pomegranates, and redo
lent with such flora as can only grow where
a tropical sun kisses the earth. And the hour
came back to me when in the midst of all
that splendor Hero 1 commanding his
sister Salome immediately after his death to
secure the assassinati-m of all the chief Jews
whom he had hr t » the citv and shut
up in a circus for that purpose, and the news
came to the audience in the theatre as some
one took the stage and announced to the ex
cited multitude: “Herod is dead! Herod is
dead 1”
Then in my dream all the pomp of
Jericho vanished, and gloom was added to
gloom, and desolation to desolation, and woo
to woe, until, perhaps tho rippling waters
of tho fountain of Elisha suggesting it—as
sounds will sometimes give direction to a
dream-*! thought that the waters of Christ’s
salvation and the fountains “open for sin
and tmcleanness” were rolling through that
plain and across the continent, and rolling
round tho earth, until ©neither side of their
banks all the thorns became flowers, and
all the deserts gardens, and all the
hovels mansions, and all tho fu
nerals bridal processions, and all the blood of
war was turned into dahlias, and all the
groans became anthems, mid Dante's “In
ferno” became Dante’s “Divina Commodia,”
and “Paradise Lost’’ was submerged by
“Paradise Regained,” and tears became
crystals, cruel swords came out of foundries
glistening plowshares, and in my dream at
the blast of a trumpet the prostrated walls
of Jericho rose again.
And some one told me that as these walls
in Joshua's time at tho sounding trumpets
of doom went down, now at the sounding
trumpet of the gospel they come up
again. And I thought a man appeared at
the door of my tent, and I said, “Who are
you and from whonco have you come?”
and he said, “I am the Samaritan you heard
of at the tavern on the road from Jerusalem
to Jericho, as taking care of the man
who fell among thieves, and I have
iust come from healing the last wound of the
last unfortunate in all tho earth.” And I
rose from my pillow in the tent to greet him,
and my dream broke and I realized it was
only a dream, but a dream which shall be-*
come a glorious reality as surely as God is
true and Christ’s gospel is the world’s Ca-
tholicon. “Glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was at
the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.”

The Advantage of Presence of Mind In ad
Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, tho militia were ordered
to be in readiness in case o£ a riot, but they
were not colled out.
In an interview Gov. Hill said the troops
Were not to be called upon except in case of
an emergency. Tho emergency bad not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which be had had experi
ence, and he did not propose to lose his bead;
the only point at which there had been serious
trouble was at Syracuse, anil therea deputy-
sheriff had lost his head and precipitated an
encounter,
Tho strike continued several. weeks and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities were
Able to cope with it without calling on the
militia.
The test of a man’s real ability comes when
An emergency arises which makes a hasty

Men with level le ads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face of
danger. Otis A. ('ole, of Kinsman, O., Jane

feeling very ill. I consulted a doctor and he
said 1 had Hright's disease of the kidneys and
that he would not stand in my shoes for tha
State of Ohio.” But he did not lose courage
or giveup; he says: “I saw the testimonial
of Mr. John Coleman, 100 Gregory Bt, New
Haven, Conn., aud 1 wrote to him. In due
time 1 received an answer, stating that the
testimonial that he gave was genuine and not
overdrawn in any particular. I took a good
many bottles of Warner's Safe Cure; have
not taken any for one year.”
Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful
man; he is cool ami calculating and belongs
to the class that do not lose their beads when
emergencies orise._^
Waste of Food in America.
In the use of food tho Americans are
lavish and oven wasteful. In calling at
tention to this fact, J.R. Dodge states that
Great Britain consumes an average meat
ration not over two-thirds as largo as the
American; France scarcely as large; and
Germany, Austria and Italy still less.
The average consumption of meat iu tho
United States is probably not less than
175 pounds per annum. Of other civil
ized nations, only Great Britain exceeds
100 pounds, and many scarcely average
fifty pounds. The consumption of the
cereals in this country, by man and beast,
is three times ns much iu proportion to
population as in Europe. For the past
ten years the average has been forty-five
bushels for each unit of population,
while the usual European consumption
does not greatly vary from sixteen bush
els per annum. While all this is not
used as food for mau, no small part of
it contributes to the moat supply. In
the consumption of fruits the difference
between this and other countries is
marked. Small fruits, orchard fruits of
all kinds and tropical fruits, as well as
melons of many varieties, arc in profuse
and universal daily use in cities ami
towns, and in the country the kinds lo
cally cultivated are still cheaper and
more abundant. The consumption ol
vegetables is not excessive.—Louiscillt
