V'Paying"
Your Funeral Expenses.
A novel idea in the way of paying
trie's funeral expenses has been introduced
in New York city by a company
recently organized for the pu: ix>se of
furnishing cheap funerals. Tue new
oethod consists of paying for your fuatral
in advance. Thus a man is enabled
io decide just what kind of a funeral He
s going to have, and he will also know
cviiat it costs. The trade is done mostly
imong the poorer classes, and the aver
?g8 iunerai, paid lor in advance, costs
ibout $50. According to the plan, a
n?.n can make small payments of $5 per
aicnth, until the full amount is paid.
" And then, if he is taken sick, he can
happy in the knowledge that his
raking off isn't going to pinch the pocket
book of any of his friends. If, however,
he should happen to die before the
'full amount is paid, his nearest relatives
has to give a bond or guarantee that the
full amount that the contract calls for
will be paid. If, after paying the fulj
amount, the patron should live for many
rears, the company would he away ahead
on the deal, by reason of the interest
ths.t would accumulate on the original $50
invested.?JYc>c Y<vk World.
Feeding regularly and liberally wc all

being of fowls, though there seems to be
some doubt on the subject of watering

often manifested in this respect.

Most of the streets are not more than

Carriages and omnibuses are not to be

which the city is built, the narrow street
seems to lead to the top of tke hill at an
angle of about forty-five degrees. It is
slippery with mud and offal, and it is a
' 'hard road to travel."'
Baggage is carried by porters, "who

upon -which, the trunks rests. The i
i traveler follows him as well as he can.
He has not gone far before he encounters
a Turk leading a donkey or a mule with
a pair of panniers across his back, each
of them tilled with c-ordwood or some
| other commodity. There is only space
enough for that beast of burden
load, and the onlyJj*n^^>tfaUdst can
"dols to dodge into the iirst convenient
doorway, or break into the midst of a
family of Moslems squatting on the door.
The Rue de Pera is wider, but hardly
broad enough to permit two loaded mules
to puss a&reast of each o'.her. 1 reached
it in safety by great fortune, but I had
hardly touched its pavement before a
* mule loaded with joists, twenty feet
long or more, put in a claim for possession
of the entire thoroughfare. The
sticks were crossed at his shoulders, one
end projecting beyond his head and the
other drassrintr <m the pavement behind
him. The mule had ir all his own way,
and was as independent ;ts a "pig on
ice." But the wayfarer may drop into a
store on this street, and if he don't "talk
Turkey"' he may resist the importunate
appeals of the salesman to purchase.
I have not the le-ist idea how many
dogs there are in Constantinople, but I
should think they could compete with
the human inhabitants of the city. They
are not noted for their beauty, and no
dog fancier would be likely to go there
to replenish his stock. In fact they are
all "yellow dogs,'' rather diminutive in
size, covered with tilth, mangy and illfavored
to the last degree.
The Turks have some sort of a superstition
in regard to them, and though they
do not feed or care for them, they protect
them from destruction. Doubtless
they arc an- important factor in whatever
degree of health the city may enjoy, for
they appear to be the only scavengers that
are tolerated. Thev belong to no own
ers, and they have to pick up their living
from the offal thrown iuto the streets'.
DOGS OF CO>TST.Y^TOCOFJLE.
Ordinarily the dogs are peaceable citizens,
and make the best of their hard
lot. Ii said thaMhe canines havecer
tain quarters wnere tney oeiong, ana
where they claim certain inherent rights
and privileges, anct arc at all times ready
to defend them in a pitched dogfight. In
going about the city ouc occasionally
hears the barks, yells and growls of such
a conflict.
One night I was waked from my sleep
by a most hideous din not far from the
hotel. It sounded as though the entire
million, more or less, of dogs in the city
had come together in a general engagement.
They seemed to be ;ill yelping and
growling in concert. Now and then the
sounds indicated a sharp encounter, and
one might suppose the l?rutes -.vere tearing
each other to pieces. They fought
for a long time, though peace was made
in the cad and the racket ccased. I
called upon my man Dimetri the next
morning for an explanation. The ter- I
ritory of certain clans of canines near
the hotel had been invaded by guerillas
from another region, and this had caused
the fight. He was unable to inform me
whether or not the victory was with the
invaders, but thought not, for the dogs of
any quarter were generally strong enough
to maintain their rights against all outsiders.
The Turks are too stoical to take any
interest in tiic.se dog lights, which would
be even better than candy and ice-cream1
to the gamins of our large cities, and
they take no notice of them.
One morning I found the courier of; I
Lord Somebody feeding :t couple of yellow'
pup2"?ies in frort of tilt* hotel. They were
cleaner and better favored in every re
sped than the multitude oi' dogs, though
they "were of some low breed. The
courier tohl me he had found them in the
strr-et the day after hi* arrival, and had '
bought a couple ??f rolls for th?m every '
morning since. Tie introduced them to
me, and 1 found them very friendly and
pleasant.
Their kind friend left that day for Eng
land, and when I found the two puppies
at the door the next ^
morning I bought the ' ~
bread and fed them,/^^A /*)
and we became inti- (
mate friends. I had
to drive off the other//^i (?&<-***??tj j
dogs that insisted1

and this was no '
~ ' *? rnr TWH HPPIT 4\"^s. !
easy task. l continued ^ - ?* ?
to feed them as long as I remained in The
city. It was sad to think what became
of them after I left, for doubtlc-ss they
were absorbed in the general miserable
dogdom of the place.
My companion was au elderly gentleman,
and neither of us was inclined to
travel long distances on foot. About the
streets are saddle-horses in charge of
Arabs. When the man finds a customer
he mounts him on his steed and walks after
him, urging forward the animal as occasion
may require, for he is never one of
the fancy barbs of the desert. We do not
fancy thi3 Style bf riding and we appealed
to Dimetri for something more to our taste.
The next nlOrning he brought up a very
handsbme hoodied phaeton and I suspected
he had borrowed it of the Sultan; but he
assured us he had procured it at a stable i
kept by a foreigner.
We passed through the Rue de Porn,
occasionally causiug a tremendous commotion
amon? the foot passengers when I
we encountered another vehicle, or a |
donkey loaded with rocks, cordwood or '
lumber. We descended the hill, passing J
through a cemetery where the ruthless
hand of improvement had made a road
over the dead, till we came to a wide
street near the Sultan's new palace. Beyond
this we had to take to the fields for.
the want of a road. The Palace of the
Sweet Waters was our objective point;
find we got thfer6; We had expected to
gaze iii w'onder upon a scene of Oriental j
magnificence. The name of the place was.
certainly pretty enough to lead us to anticipate
something rich and elegant.
The palace, however, was not equal to
- r?i I..,/! ? + : J
many a manuiauwij v?c uau ?\.u a>
home. There were a number of trenches
stoned up to contain the "sweet waters,"
but there w'as Hone in them, sweet or'
otherwise. Wfe looked upon it as a fraud.
1Ye fancy that the Sultan would open his
eyes if he could sail up the Hudson or.
ride through auy of the great cities of
the United State?.
This reader has had his palate tickled
in imagination by the sherbets and con-,
fections of the Orient. I had, and I'
wanted to taste some of them. I asked!
Dimetri about sherbet. He took me to a!
shop and I drank sherbet, expecting to:
be thrilled as with the nectar of the gods.'
What do you think it was? Nothing but
what the old ladies of New England call
"raspberry shrub." It is very good fori
those who like it; but sherbet comes,
down from its seventh heaven after you J
hive tasted it; ;
At the door of the monastery of der--r
vishes Dimetri brought me a quantity ofconfections?fig
paste, candy jwid other;
things of this sort. JNoty "one of them!
was eatable; in fact smell of these
delicacies was, than enough. 11
threvsu-^5em into the street when I went!
j^out, and the Moslem gamins scampered
! for them.
! I had some curiosity to learn how the!
I T^xrks lived, and Dimetri took me into a1
j cafe iiear the mosque of St. Sophie. The
first dish was made up from the fire beI
fore me. In a copper saucepan, like half
: a globe, was a large quantity of mutton
'fat, with bits of meat iu it." In another,
kettle of the same kind was some rice,!
having a pinkish tint. On a small tea]
! plate the attendant put a portion of this;
| rice, spread it out, with a cavity in thej
middle. Then he emptied a ladefrd of
the mutton gfeJlse and two bits ot meat
into the middle of it. The odor was not
pleasant,- and a single taste of the compound
was enough for this deponent. It
smelled bad and tasted worse.
The next dish was pancakes, round,
balls of dousrh fried iu fat. They were
soaked with grease, and rancid grease at
that. Press them a little and the fat.
flowed out in streams. These two dislies
exhausted the bill of fare. I resorted to
fruit.
An Armenian gentleman on the Bosphorus
had told we that I had come inj
season for the best grapes of the year.I
called for some of them, and up to the
present moment they were the finest, the
most delicious I ever tasted. The Turks
sell them from great baskets all over
the city for next to nothing. They look
like the common Malaga grape, but the
skins were hardly perceptible. The
flavor was a little spicy; sweet, atid rich
enough to be the food of divinities..
Though my worthy California companion
insisted that they had better in his State,
I have never tasted any that were equal
to them.

REV. DR. TALMAGE.

SERMON.
Tli'; Riv. T. De Witt Talma^e, D. D?
preached to an overflowing congregation at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music
Before preachiug ho said that a mistaken
notion was abroad that the insurance on his
de.str.n >1 church was enough to rebuild. The
repetition of disasters left us in debt. We
have pra-ticaUy built three churches since T
came to Brooklyn. First, the original Tabernacle.
Soon after that we made an enlargement
tL it cost almost as much as a church.
A few years after it all burned. Then we
put up the building recently destroj-ed, and
reared if- in a time when the whole country
was iu its worst financial distress.
It was these repeated disasters that
left us in debt. My congregation have
done magnificently, but any church would bint
debt after so many calamities. !Now for
the first time we are out of debt. But we
need at least one hundred thousand dollars to
build a church large enough, and we call
on people of all creeds and all lands to help.
Before I help dedicate a new church we must
have every dollar of it paid. I will never
again be pastor of a church iu debt. It has
crippled us in all our movements, aad I
shall never again wear the shackles. I have
for the last sixteen years preached to
about 5000 people sitting and Standins'
f.wic,' a SaSihiitli hut evurvKidv Irnriw*
that we need a place that will hold S000 1
shall not be surprised if some man ot" wealth
| shill say: "Here are a $100,000 if you will
.put up a memorial structure, and call it after
the name of my departed father or child
whose memory I want put before all nation?
and for all time." And so it will be done.
Text: "God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes."?Rev. vii., 17.
Riding across a western prairie, wil j
flowers up to the hub of the carriage wheel,
and while a loag distance from any shelter,
there came a sudden shower, arid while the
rain was falling in torrents, the sun was
shining as brightly as I ever saw it shine:
and I thought, what a bsautifui spectacle
this is! So the tears of the Bible are
not midnight storm, but rain on pansied
prairies in God's sweet and golden sunlight.
You remember that bottle which David
labeled as containing tears, and Mary's
tears, and Paul's tears, and Christ's
+1.0 (-1,u tvot
F, llUU XiviA >C?. w VI J\JJ uuau lv> cv/
spring from the sowing of tears. God
mixes them. God rounds them God show?
them where to fall. God exhales fiiem. A
census is taken of them, ami there is a record
as to the moment when they ara born, and
as to the place of their grave. Tears of bad
men are not kept. Alexander, in his sorrow,
had the hair clipped from his horses and
mules, and made a great ado about his grief;
but in all the vases of heaven there is not on"1
of Alexander's tears. I speak of the tears of
the good. Alas! me! thv=y are falling all the
time. In summer, you sometimes hear the
growling thunder, and you see there is a
storm miles away; but you km^J> <j; rf-fonr
drift of the clouds that it wiljrfiot come anywhere
near you. So, though it may be all
bright around us,there i^a shower of trouble
somewhere all the tisfleT Tears! Tears'
What is the us# of them anyhow? Why
not substitute^laughter? Why not make this
a world wVj#fe all the people are well and
eternal sirangers to pain and aches? What
is the tjsc cf an eastern storm when we might
'nave/a perpetual nor'wester? Why, when a
l'ajaiily is put together, not have them si!
-tffay, or if they must be transplanted to make
other homes, then have them all live? the family
record telling a story of marriages and
births, but of no deaths. Why not have the
harvests chase each other without
fatiguing toil? Why the hard pillow.]
the hard crust, the hard struggle?
It is easy enough to explain a smile, or a
success, or a congratulation: but, come now,
and bring ail your dictionaries and nil your
philosophies and ali your religions, aiidbelp
me explain a tear. A chemist will tell you
that it is made up of salt and lime aud other
component parts: but he misses the chief
ingredients?the acid of a soured life, tha
viperine sting of a bitter memory, the fragments
of a broken heart. I will tell you
what a tear is: it is agony in solution.
Hear me, then, while I discourse to you of
the uses of trouble.
First?It is the design of trouble to keep
I this world from being too attractive. Something
must be done to make vhs willing to
quit this existence. If it were not for trouble
thus world would be a good enough heaven
for me. You and I would be willing to take
a lease of this life for a hundr ed million years
if there were no trouble. The earth cushioned
and upholstered and pillared and chandelierodwith
such expense, no story of other
worlds coidd enchant us. "We would say:
"Let well enough alone. If you '.rant
to ilie and have your body disintegrated in
the dust, aud your soul go'out on a celestial
adventure, then you can 20; but this world
is good enough for me."' You might as well
go to a man who has just entered the Louvre
at Paris, and tell him to hasten off to the
tw?; mv? nf Vm* kIatwi/v*
"Why," he wonid say, "what is the Use of
my going there? There are Rembrandts and
Rubens and .Raphaels here that I haven't
looked at yet."
Xo man wants to go ou.t of this world, or
out of any house, until he has a better house.
To cure this wish to stay here, God must
somehow create a disgust for our surroundings.
How shall He do it? He cannot afford
to deface His horizon, or to tear off a fiery
panel from the sunset, or to subtract an anther
from the water lily, or to banish the
pungent aroma from the mignonette, or to
drag the robe5; of the morning in the mire.
You cannot expoct a Christopher Wren to
mar his own St. Paul's cathedral or a Michael
Angclo to dash out his own "Last
Judgment." or a Handel to discord his "Israel
in Egypt," and you cannot expect God to
spoil the architecture and music of His own
worid. How then are we to be made willing
to leave? Here is where trouble comes in.
After a man has had a good deal of trouble,
he says: "Well. I am ready to go. If there
is a house somewhere whose roof doesn't leak.
I would like to live there. If there is an atmosphere
somewhere that does not distress
the lu.nss, I would like to breathe it. If there
is a society byrasvi uere wnere inem is uu luuctattle,
I would like to live there. If
there is a home circle somewhere where
I can find my lost friends, I
would like to go there.'' He used to read
thc"first part of the Bible chiefly, now he
reads the last part of the Bible chiefly. Why
has he changed Genesis for Revelation? Ah!
he used to be anxious chiefly to know how
this world was made, and all about its geological
construction. Now he is chiefly anxious
to know how the next world was made,
and how it looks, and who live there, and
how they dress. He reads Revelation ten
times now where he reads Genesis once. The
old story, ''In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth," does not thrill
him half as much as the other story,
"'I saw a new heaven and a hew earth."
I The old man's hand trembles as he turns
over this apocalyptic leaf, and he has to take
out his handkerchief to wipe his spectacles.
That book of Revelations is a prospectus now
of the country into which he is to soon immigrate;
the country into which be has lots al
i r -ciay laid our, and avenues opened, and trees
planted and mansions built.
The thought of that blessed place conies
over me mightily, and I declare that if this
house were a groat ship, and you all were
passengers on board it, and one hand could
launch that ship into the glories of heaven, 1
should !>e tempted to take the responsibility
and launch you all into glory
with one stroke, holding on to the side of the
boat until T could get in myself. And yet
there are people here to whom this world is
brighter than heaven. Well, dear souls, J
do not blame you. It is natural. But after
a while von will be ready to go. ' It was not
until Joo had been worn out with bereavements
and carbuncles and a pest of a wife
that he wanted to see God. It was not until
the prodigal got tired of living among the
hogs that he wanted to go to his Father's
V'.ti-0. It is the ministry oi trouble to uia.ct
'his world worth less and heaven worth
more.
Ajcain. it is the use of trouble to make its
f*,al our complete dependence uoon God.
Ming Alphonso said that if he had bean present
at the creation he cr>uld have made a better
world than this. "What a pity he was not
present! I <10 tu t know what God will do
when some men die. Men think thev can do
anything until (''y\showsthem they do nothing
at all. We lay our great plans and we

road, and she asked if she might drive. I
said: "Certainly."
T handed over the reins to her, and I had to
admire the glee with vnich she drove. But
after a while we met a team and we had to
turnout. The road was narrow, and it was
sbcor down on both sides. She handed the i
n?ins over to me. and said: "I think you had j
better take charge of the horse." So we are |
rK children: and on this road of life we like 1
to drive. It gives one such an appearance ot I
superiority and power. It looks big. But
ifter a while we meet some obstacle, and we
have t?> turn out. and the road is narrow,
-ind it is sho?r down on both sides: and then
;>r-' n-illin^ that God should toko fh*
;vi>:saud drive. Ah; my friends, wegetup:c(

Can you not tell when you hear a.man .
m
fray, whether he has ever had any trouble?
can. The cadence, the phraseology indicate
it. Why do women pray better than men?
j Because they have had more trouble. Be*
] fore a man has had any trouble, his prayers
are poetic, and he begins away up among the
! sun, moon and stars, and gives the Lord a
I great ueal of astronomical information that
must be highly gratifying. He then comes
on down gradually over beautifully tablelands
to "forever and ever, amen/' But after
a man has bad trouble, prayer is with
him a taking hold of the arm o'f God and crying
out for help. I have heard earnest prayers
on two or three occasions that I remember.
Oncc, on the Cincinnati express train,
going at forty miles the' hour, and the
train jumped the track, and we were
near a chasm eighty feet deep: and the
men who, a few minutes before, bad been
swearing and blaspheming God, began to
pal! and jerk at the bell rope, and got
up on the backs of the seats and cried*
out: "O God, save us'"' There was another
time, about eight hundred miles out at sea,
on a foundering steamer, after the last
lifeboat had been split finer than kindling
wood. They prayed then. Why is it you
so csfteri hear people, in reciting the last 'experience
of some friend. say: "He made.the
j most beautiful prayer I ever heard?" What
I makes it beautiful? It is the earnestness (if
it. Oh, I tell you a man is in earnest when
liis stripped and naked sou! wades out in the
soundless, shoreless, bottomless ocean of
eternity.
It is trouble, my friends, that makes us feel
oar dependence upon bod. VV c do not know
our own weakness or Gdd's strength until
hi last plank breaks. It is contemptible in
:is v.-hen there is nothing else to take hold of,
That we catch hold of God only. A man is
unfortunate in business. He has to raise a
/Teat deal of money, and raise it quickly.
He borrows on word and note all he can borrow.
After a while he puts a mortgage on
his house. After a while he puts a second
nortgage on his house. Then he puts a lien
on his furniture. Then he makes over his
life insurance. Tben he assigns all his property.
Then he goes to his father-in-law and
asks for help!
Well, having failed everywhere, completely
failed, he frets down on his knees and
says: ' 0 Lord. I nave tried everybody and
everything, now help me out of this financial
trouble.'* He makes God the last resort
instead of the first refeoft. There are men
who have paid ten cents dh a dc'iikr vffco
could have paid a hundred cents on a dollar
if they had gone to God in time. Why, you
do not know who the Lord is. He is not an
autocrat seated far up in a palace, from
which He emerges once a year, preceded by
hwalds swinging swords to clear the way!
No. But a Father willing, at om* call, to
stand by us in every crisis and predicament ,
of life.
I tell you what some of you business men
make me think of A. young man goes off
from home to earn his fortune; He goes
with his mother's consent and benediction.
She has large wealth: but tie wants to make
his own fortune. He goes far away, falls
sick, gets out of money. He sends for the
hotel keeper where he is staying, asking for
lenience, and ths answer he gets is: ';If you
don't pay up Saturday tiijrht you'll be removed
to the hospitaL". Tho young man
sends to a comrade in the SB&tTouIKKng! "No
I 'aeTp"~T5s' writes to a banker who wis a
friend of his deceased father. No relief. He
writes to an old schoolmate, but gets nc help.
Saturday night comes and he is removed to
the hospital.
Getting there, he is frenzied with grief; and
he borrows a sheet of paper and a postage
stamp, and he sits down, and he writas home,
saying: "Dear mother, I am sick unto death.
Come." It is ten minutes of 10 o'clock when
she gets the letter. At 10 o'clock the train
starts. She is fi^e rrtinrft^s from the depot.
She gets there in time to have fitff! mimttesto
spare. She wonders why a train that can go
thirty miles an hour cannot go sixty miles an
hour. She rushes into the hospital. She say^:
1 'My son. what does all this mean? Why didn't
you send for me? You sent to everybody but
me. You knew I could and would help you.
Is this the reward I get for my kindness to
you always?" She bundles him up. takes him
hr?nio onil 'rnt.a him wf?!l TMT snon.
Now; some of you treat God just as that
young man li-eafej his motlief-. "When you
get into a financial perplexity; you call onthe
banker, you call on the broker,you call on your
creditors, you call on your lawyer for legal
counsel; you call upon*everybody, and when
vou cannot, got any help, then you go to God.
You say: "0 Lord I come to Thee. Help
me now out of my perplexity/' And the
Lord come?, though it is the eleventh hour.
He says: "Why did you not send for Me
l>efore"? As one whom his mother comforteth,
so will I comfort you/' It is to throw us back
upon tin fill comforting God that we have
this ministry of tears.
Again, it is the use of trouble to capacitate
us for the office of sympathy. The priests,
under tli? old dispensation; were set- apart by
having water sprinkled oil tfc'oir Hands, feet
and head: and by the sprinkling of tears
people are now set apart to the office of
sympathy. When we are in prosperity we
like to nave a great many young people
around us, and we laugh when they laugh,
and we romp when they romp, and "we sing
when they sing; but when we have trouble
we like plenty of old folks around. Wby?
They know how to talk. Take an aged
n^other, seventy years of age. and she is almost
omnipotent in comfort. Why? She
has been through it all. At 7 o'clock in the

mother who has jitst lost her babe.
Grandmother knows all about that trouble.
Fifty years ago she felt it. At 12
o'clock of that day she goes over to comfort
a widowed soul. She knows all about that.
She has been walking in that dark valley
twenty years. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon
some one knocks at the door wanting bread.
She knows alt about that. Two or three
times in her life she came to her last loaf.
At 10 o'clock that night she goes over to sit
up with some one severely sick. She knows
all about it. She knows all about fevers and
pleurisies and broken bones. She has been
doctoring all her life, spreading plasters, and
pouring out bitter drops, and shaking up hot
pillows, and contriving things , to tempt a
l>oor appetite. Doctors Abernethy and Rush
and Hosack and Harvey were great doctors,
bnt the greatest doctor tne woria ever saw is
an old Christian woman. Dear me! Do we
not remember her about the room when we
were sick in our boyhood? Was there any
one who could ever so touch a sore without
hurting it?
And when she lifted her spectacles against
her wrinkled forehead, so she could look
closer at th9 wound, it was three-fourths
"x?l<?d. And when the Lord took her home,
although you may have been men and women
thirty, forty, fifty years of age. you lay on
the coffin lid and sobbed as though you were
only five or ten years of age. 0 man, praise
God if you have in your memory the picture
of an honest, sympathetic, kind, self sacrificing,
Christ-like mother. Oh, it takes these people
who have had trouble to comfort others
m iroucue. iv nere aia raui get me mK wiin
which to write his comforting epistle? ""here
lid. David get the ink to write his comforting
Psalms? Where did John get the ink to
write his comforting Revelation? They got
it out of their own tears. When a man has
gone through the curriculum, and has taken
a course of "dungeons and imprisonments and
shipwrecks, he is qualified for the work of
sympathy.
When I began to preach, my sermons on
the subject of trouble were all poetic and in
semi-blank verse; but God knocked the blank
verse out of mo long ago, and I have found
out that I cannot comfort people except as I
myself have been troubled. God make me
Che son of consolation to the people. I would
ether be the means of soothing one perturbed
spirit to-day, than to play a tun* that
would set all the sons of mirth reeling in the
dance. I am a herb doctor. I put into the
caldron the Root out of dry ground without
form or comeliness. Then I put in the
Rose of Sharon and the Lily
of the Valley, Then I put into
the caldron some of the leaves from the Tree
of Life, and the Branch that was thrown into
tiro wilderness Marah. Then I pour in the
tears of Bethany and Golgotha; then I stir
them up. Then I kindle under the caldron a
fire made of the wood of the cross, and one
drop of that potion will cure the worst sickncss
that ever afflicted a human soul. Mary
aud Martha shall receive their Lazarus from
j the tomb. The damsel shall rise. And on
the darkness shall break the morning, and
God will -wipe all tears from their eyes.
You know-on a well spread table the food
becones more delicate at the last. I have
fed you to-day with the bread of consolation.
Lot the table now be cleared, and let us ret
on the chalice of Heaven. Let the King's
cup boarers come in. Good morning. Heaven
! "Oh," says some critic in the audience,
"the Bible contradicts itself. It intimates
again and again that there are to be no tears
in heaven, and if there be no tears in heaven,
how is it possible that God will wipe
any away?'! 1 answer, have you never
seen a child crying one moment and laughing
the nest: and while she was laughing, you
saw the tears still on her face! And perhaps
you stopped her in the very midst of her resumed
glee, and wiped off those delaved
tears. Su. I think, after the heavenfy raptures
have corns upon us. there may 1 >e the
mark of some earthly grief, and while those i
tears are glittering in the light of the jasper
sea, God will wipe them away. How well He
can do that.
Jesus had enough trial to make Him
sympathetic with "all trial. The shortest
verse in the Bible tells the story:
"Jesus wept."' Tho scar on the back
of cither hand, the scar on the arch of
either foot, the row of scars along the line of
the hair, \vi]l keep all heaven thinking. Oh, j
that great weeper is just the one to
silence ail earthly trouble, wipe out i
all stains of earthly grief, Gentle! Why, i
His step is softer than the step of the j
dew. It will not be a tyrant bidding vou to
hush up your crying. It will be a father
who will "tak?; you on His left arm. His face ,
gleaming into yours, while with the soft tips
r
cf the fingers of the right hand, He shall wipe j
away all tears from your eyes. I have 119- i
ticed when the children get hurt, and their !
mother is away from home, "they come to me j
for comfort and sympathy: but I have no- !
ticed that when the children get hurt and
their mother is at home, they go right past
me and to her; I am of no account.

of the wounds of this life, it will not stop to
look for Paul, or Moses, or David or John. ?
These did very well once, but now the soul
shall rush past, crying: '"Where is Jesus?
Where i? Jesus?" Dear Lord, what a magnificent
thing to die if Thou shalt thus wipe
away our tears. Methink it will take us
some time to get used to hca%'en: the fruits
of God without one speck; the fresh pastures
without one nettle; the orchestra without
one snapped string: the river of gladness
without one torn bank; the solferincs and the
saffron of sunrise and sunset swallowed up in
the eternal day that beams from God's
countenance!

If we could get any appreciation of what
God has in reserve for us. it would make us
so homesick we would be unfit for every day
work. Professor Leonard, formerly of low;:
University, pot in my hand a metoorie ston_\
a stone thrown off from some other worl.i t:>
this. How suggestive it was to me. And x
have to tell you the best representations w<have
of heaven are only aerolites Hung ??:i"
from that world which rolls on. bearing tit..multitudes
of the redeemed. We anaiy^-.these
aerolite?, and find them crystal izations
of tears. No wonder, flung off from heaven.
"God. shall mpe away all tears from their
eyes."
Have you any appreciation of the good ana
glorious" times your friends sr.? having i>i
heaven? How different it is when they get j
news there of a Christian's death fro;a what
it is here. It is the difference between em- I
barkation an<l coming into port, jiverytiim:;
depends upon which side of the river vest
stand when you hear of a Christian':,- death.
If you stand on this side of the ri ver you
mourn that they go. If you stand on "the
other side of the river you rejoice that they
come. Oh, the difference between a ?un^r;s!

Not one of your departed friends ic one i:u:u

1 never appreciated that thought so much
as when we laid riway iri her last smmbor
any sister Sarah. Standing there in 1 lie village
cemetery. I looked arOtlnd an I said:
"There is father, there js mother, iborc :s [
grandfather, nhere is granclii&ther. therea^--?
1 whole circles of kindred;" andS? rhoy^mto j
myself: "Together in the grave?-Whether in j
! glory." I am so impressed with the;thought j
that I do not t hink it is any fanaticism when
some one is going from "this world to the
neit if you nake them the bearer of dispatches
to your friends who are gone, saying:
"Give my love to my parents, give my
love to my children, give my love to my old
comrades who are in dory, arid tell them I
.am trying to light thegood fight ol' faith, |
and I "will join ' hem after av.-hile.?'
I believe the message will be delivered; and
I believe it will increase the gladness of those
whoafebefoic the throne. Together are
they, all thdf tsar* gone. No trouble getting
'ood society for them. All Kings. (Queens,
Princes, and Princesses. In 1751 there was a
bill offered in the English parliament proposing
to charge the almanac so that The '->t
of March should come immediately after the
ISth of Febru ary. But, oh, what a glorious
change in the calendar when all the years of
your eartttiy existence are swauowea up uj
the eternal yc;ir of God!
My friends, take this good cheer- homo
with yeil, Tt.eso tears of bereavement that
course jot?r chee'k, and of persecution, and
of trial, arc' not always to be there. Tiie
motherly hand o'f wd -will \rjpe them all
away. What is the use, crl the way to such'
a consummation?what is the User of fretting
about anything? Oh, what an exhilaration
it ought to be in Christian work!
fSea you the pinnacles against the
sky? It is the city of our God,
and we are approaching it. Ob,
let us be busy in the few days that shall remain
for us. The Saxons and the Britons
went out to' battle. The Snxons were all
armed. The Britons had no weapons at all; j
and yet history tells us t he Britons g>~c the
victory. Why? They went into l>attUs
shouting three times, HallelujahP an-l at
the third shout of "Hallelujah;7' their enemies
fled panic struck: and so the Bfit^ns got
the victory.
And, my friends, if we could only appreciate
the "glories that are to come, we would
be so filled with enthusiasm that no power of
earth or hell could stand before us: and at
our first shout the opposing forces would b*gin
to tremble, and at our second shout they
would begin to fall back, and at our third
shout they would bt? touted forever. There
is no pbweF or?-earth' or in hell that could

Killed by the Odor of Paint.
A sad atfd peculiar accident occurred
at at Milwaukee tannery recently, iw.it- j
ingin the death of one man and the nar- I
row escape of two othefs. A loc.-si paper j
gives this account: William H. Knu-jv", j
Emil Loder and Charles Schendel wen: |
engaged in painting the interior of a largo :
water-tank, when they were overcome by ]
the noxious fumes that emanated from au j
imported brand of black paint which they
were applying to the iron surface of flit;
reservoir. Their fellow-workmen, wh<>
were standing at the top of the tank. :i'. '
once took steps to recover their com- j
panioDS, but before the rescue could be i
effected. Krueger was dead. The ar:
cidcnt is a most peculiar one, and is with- j
? n~i AT;ixfo?.
OUb a parauei m mc uioiwiv vi
kee. The doctors say that the paint
r.sed contained poison, arid was a very
dangerous article to use. When tlu" men
were taken out of the tank their laces
were greatly discolored, Kruegcrs countenance
being almost blue.
Nature's Underground Statuary.
A magnificent stalactite grotto has been
found in Carniola, near the famous Adclsberg
Caves. The new grotto contains
innumerable caves filled with curious
stony formations resembling animals,
trees, plants, draperies, and so forth, the !
largest hall, or "ball-room," being j
adorned with myriads of stalactitc cur- |
tains and flags. The stalactites are pure ;
white, and very transparent, not having ;
wet become yellowish and blackcncd by
the lamp-smoke of manv visitors, as at i
the Cheddar Cliffs, Adelsberg, or the '
Ilan Grottoes in Belgium, in Central 1
France, also, two explorers have just dis- !
covered a series of grottoes near Micrs, at, |
the Causse de Gramat, where a subter- |
ranean stream passes for "miles through
the caves, apparently to join the 3)or- \
dogne. So far as it has yet been traced, ;
the river forms seven lakes and thirty- :
three cascades.

Tortoises in the South Sea.
There are tortoises in the islands of the j
South -Pacific Ocean, but their shell is oL' :
little value, and on the Gallipagos Islands j
a species exists which sometimes attains a j
weight of half a ton. A seaman of a New i
Bedford whaleship some years ago was j
missed by his companions on these islands.
They sought for him for several days
without success, and were about to leave
without him, when they were surprised
to see him coming down from the mountains
driving one of these huge brutes with j
a club. This was the largest specimen j
ever heard of, and was probably linndreds
of years old. The sailor had spent
several days and eights, with true Yankee
pertinacity, in guiding the clumsy brute
from the mountains to the seashore.
These tortoises and multitudes of hideous
iguanas seem to be the only inhabitant-;
of the Gallipagos, which arc a mass of i
extinct and barren volconoes.

A Graveyard for Horses.
Ouc of the most unique cemeteries in
the United States is that of Sheepshead
Bay, Long Island, the burial ground for
noted horses. It was established two
years ago. and by the end of the first
year three noted racers had found a
resting place within its quiet precincts.
As heretofore, the common brutes-which
live out tUeir allotted days and die without
making a better record than 2:20.,
will be give a over to the tender
mercies of the equine potters' field boss
