Brooklyn, May 19.?The P.?v. T. De Witt TaJmago, D. D . preached today on "New Springs of Joy." The text was, "Thou hast given me -a , south-iand; give pie a*so springs ci j r:i"r-+ Arm he ^ springs, ana. v.?4w -tiier ? Josh ilk xv, 10. The city of Debir was the Boston of antiquity"?a great place for brain and books. Caleb wanted it, and lie offered his daughter Achsah as a prize to any one who would capture that city, it was a strange tiling for Caleb to do; | and yet the man that could take the city would have, at any rate, two elements of manhood?bravery and pa- j triotisni. With Caleb's daughter as a : prize to fight for. Gen. Olhniel rode in- j to the battle. The gates of Debir were thundered into the dust, and the city of books lay at the foot of the conquerors. The work done, Ot'iiiic-2 comes back to claim his bride. Having conquered the city, it is'ao great job for j him to conquer the girls heart; for however faint hearted a-woman her- | self may be, she always loves courage : in a man. I never saw an exception J to that. The wedding festivity having 1 gone by, Olhniel and Achsah* are i about to go to their new home. How- { ever loualy the cymbals may clash j and the laughter ring, parents are ai^ ways saci when a fondly cherished I 'daughter goes of? to stay: and Ach- ! sah, the daughter cf Caleb, knows j that no-.v is the time to ask almost j anything she wants of her father, it j seems that Caleb, the good olci man, j had <riveil-as a wedding present to his i daughter a piece of land that was ! mountainous* and sloping southward toward the deserts or' Arabia, swept with some very hot winds. It # was ; called "a south iand.$ But Achsah wants an addition of property; she ; i wants a piece of land that is well ; | v*tered and fertile. Now it is no I wonder that Caleb standing amidst ; j the bridal party, his eyes so full of j I tears because she was going away that : he could hardly see her at all, gives j | her more than she asks. 3hs said to i iiim: -Thou hast "given me a south ' - -?- - ? - ?- ^ f land; give nic aiso springs u. v. ate.. , And he gave hoi- the uppez* springs, j I and the nether springs." god ims crvfzc us i::z world.

"Her ways i are vfciy-j of pleasantness, and ail her j paths aVo peace." C)ix, you who hare j been trying to satisfy yourselves with | the "souliiTigucd'of this world, do you i net feel ti.at you would, this morning, j like to have access to the nether springe cf emrituai comfort*?

Tlx rr!!~:o= thzz cr.r. rlro -lexis;; r?s wtdj '-7- tiro: corr.'fcr; rrj die. But I have something better to tell you, suggested by this tr.ut. It seems | that clef father Caldb cm the wedding j day or his daugnter wanted to make j her just as happy as possible. Though j Othniei was tuning per away, and hi3 iicart was almost broken because she was going, yet he gives hci*a "south land;" uot only that, but the nether springs; not only that, but the upper ! springs. 0 God, my Father, I thank : thee that thou hast given me a "south land" in this world, and the nether | springs of spiritual comfort in this ; world; but, more than all, I thank I thee for the upper springs in heaven. the glories of ilea virc . It ib very fortunate we cannot see i heaven until we get into it. Oh, ! Christian man, if you could see what | a place it is, we would never get you j back again to tho otHce or store or I chop, and the duties you ought to perI form would go neglected. I am glad j I shdli not see that world until I enter I it. Suppose w? were allowed to go on ; i recursion into that good land with ; idea A; returning. When we got there, ana heard the song, and looked at tiriir raptured faces, and mingled in the rrnnernal society, we would^Mtt out: "Let us stay! We here anyhow. Why take the o? going back again to that old wohrticK We are here now; let us stay." And it would take anerelic violence to out 1 us out of that vTorld, If once we got there. But as people who cannot 'afford to pay 1'or.an entertain men t sometimes; come around it and look through j the door ajar, or through the openings iii the fence, so u*e come and look, through the crevices in that good land which God has provided for us. We can j ust catch a gl im pse of it. We como near enough to near the rumbling of the eternal orchestra, though not near enough to know who blows the cornet i or who fingers the harp. My soul spreads out both wings and claps them in triumph at the thought of those upper springs. One of them breaks from oeneath the throne; another breaks forth from beneath the aitai' of the temple; Another at the door of "the house of many mansions." Upper springs of gladness! Upper springs of light]* Upper springs of love! It is no fancy of nfine. The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living- fountains of water." Oh, Saviour divine, roll in upon cur souls one of those anticipated raptures! Pour around the roots of the "parched tongue one drop of that liquid life! Toss before our vision those fountains of God, rain bowed with eternal victory. Hear it They are never sick there; not so much as a headache, or twinge rheumatic, or thrust neuralgic. The Inhabitant never says: "I am sick." They are never tired there. Flight to farthest world is only the play.of a holiday. They never sin there. It is a% easy for them to be holy as it is for us to sin. They never i die there. You might go through all the outskirts of the great city and Hud not one place where the ground was broken for a grave. The eyesight of j the redeemed Is never blurred with j tears. There is health in every cheek. I There is spring in every foot. There is majesty or, every brow. There is i Joy in every heart.

A sheen, making a long jodrney, found the heat of his Ileece very uncomfortable, and seeing a flock of other sheep in a foid, evidently waiting for some one, leaped over and joined them, in the hone of being shorn. Perceiving the- shepherd approaching and the other sheep huddling into a remote corner of the fold he shouldered his way forward and going up to the shepherd said: "Did you ever see such a lot of fools? it's lucky I came along to set them an example of docility. Seeing me operated upon, they'll be glad to offer themselves." "Perhaps so," replied the shepherd, laying hold of the animal's ononis, "but 1 never kill more than one sheep at a time, iluttou won i beep iu act weather."

How to Ship Fruit. The recent experience of ?r. Harris of C'tra, Florida, will be interesting to the growers of melons, fruit and vegc <_7 v tables who intend to make shipments this year. Dr. Harris sent two car loads of oranges to a firm of produce commission "merchants in Cincinnati. [n return he received a check for ?150, with a s atemcnt that it covered the total receipts from the sale of the oranges. Sucpecting that he had been swindled, Dr. Harris went to Cincinnati to investigate the matter. By the aid of a de ective he discovered that the net sales of his oranges amounted to ?1,340. He demanded ?1,190 more from the firm that had sent h;m the check for $150. The money was paid and the firm confessed that it had been caught in a swidlirg operation. There can be no doubt that many Southern shippers have fallen into the hands of such firms cs that which at'emj ted to swindle Dr; Harris out of ?1.190.
