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 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

Blessed be God! We have more advantages

pleasure of religion? David, unable j

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. There is hosanna ;
on every lip; How they must pit? us j
as they look over and down and see j
us, and say; "Poor things away down j
in that world."- And" when some j
Christian is hurled into a fatal j
dent, they crv; "Good I he, is corn- i
;?r? !?-itrm W-rfen -vm T&mrt? ty?tyn*r othe
couch of some loved one (whose
strength is going awav) and wo shake
our heads forebodingly, they cry: "I
am giaa he is worse; he has beer,
down there long enough. ThSre, he
is dead! Comerome! Come home!"
Oh, if wc could only get our ideas
about that future world untwisted our j
thought of transfer from here to there
would be as pleasant to us as it was |
to a little child that was dying. She j
said: "Papa, when will I go: nomc?"
And he scid: "Today, Florence.'"
"Today? So soon? I cm so glad!"
THE DAY OF DEUTEPJtXCE 13 COaUNG.
I wish I could stimulate you with
theso thoughts, oh Christian man, to
tho highestpossibie exhilaration. The
day of your deliverance is coming, is
coming. It is rolling: on with the

wheels of the night. Every thump of j

Uiifcrgiven man. unpardoned man,
will you not today make a choice between
these two portions, between the
"south land" of this world, which
slopes to the desert, and this glorious
land which thy Father oners thee,
running with eternal water courses?
Why let your tongue be consumed
with thirst when there are the nether
springs and the upper springs, comfort
here, and glory hereafter?
'** Let me tell you, my dear brother,
that the silliest and wickedest thing a
man ever does is to reject Jesus Christ
The loss of the scul is a mistake that
cannot be corrected. It is a downfall
tf.at knows no alleviation; it is a rain
that is remediless; it is a sickness that
has no medicament; it is a grave into
which a mao goes but never comes
out. Therefore, putting my hand on j
your shoulder as one brother puts his j
band on the shouldc-r of a brother, I j
.say this day, be manly, and surrender I
your heart to Christ. You have been !
long enough serving the world; now j

On some of you the snow has fallen, j

Horse Dentistry,
Treating horses for diseases of the

fa St. Louis. however. it hut
been clfc^nnstrated that a majority of

A sheen, making a long jodrney,
found the heat of his Ileece very uncomfortable,
and seeing a flock of

for some one, leaped over and
joined them, in the hone of being

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

a clear and cheerful order in the midst .
of which' you can daily move, and
learn to keep it so that it will be part
of your to-let to dress your room and
its arrangements while you dress yourself,
leaving the draperies you take oif
as lightly arid artistically hung, or as
delicately loldcd and il.cid, as the

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. In
shipping melons, fruits or vegetables,
it is w ell to .consign only to houses of
established reputation^ because it is
very easy for a dishonest com mission _ . merchant
to take advantage of the, .
shipper in this'business. - " The

After a housekeeper fully realizes
the worth of turpentine in. a housenoid,
she is never willing to be without
a supply of it. It gives quick rel ef to
burns; it is an excellent application
for corns; it is good for rheumatism
and sore throats, and it is the quickest
remedy for convulsions and fits. Th n
it is a sure preventive against moths;
by just dropping a trifle in the bottom
of drawers, chests and cupboards, it
! will render the -garments secure from
