When the Kins Went Forth end Tarried In a Place Which Was Far Off?Christ's Great Homesickness?From the Throneroom to the Sheep Pen. Washington, April 19.?It is wonderful to how many tunes the gospel may be set Dr. T aim age's sermon today shows another way in which the earthly experience of our Lord is set forth. His text was II Samuel xv, 17, "And the king went forth and tarried in a place which was far off." Far up and far back in the history of heaven there came a period when its most illustrious citizen was about to absent himself. He was not going to sail from beach to beach; we have often done that He was not going to pnt out from one hemisphere to -mother hemisphere ; many of us have done that But he was to sail from world to world, the spaces unexplored and the immensities untraveled. No world has ever hailed heaven, and heaven has never hailed any other world. I think that the windows and tho balconies were thronged, and that the pearly beach was crowded with those who had come to see him sail ont of the harbor of light into the ocean beyond. Out and out and out, and on and on and on, and down and down and down he sped, until one night, with only one to greet him when he arrived, his disembarkation so unpretending, so quiet that it was not known on earth until the excitement in the cloud gave intimation.to the Bethlehem rustics that nnn.Afl.infv nMnd o,ii1 r?r?i/iric liar! Vifiru OUUiCluui^ giauu mmu peiicd. Who comes there? From what port did he sail? Why was this the place of his destination? I question the shepherds. I question the camel drivers. I question the angels. I have found out He was an exile. But the world had plenty of exiles. Abraham, "an exile from Haran; John, an exile from Ephopt": Kosciusko, an exile from Poland; Mazzini, an exile from Rome; Emmet, an exile from Ireland; Victor Hugo, an exile from France; Kossuth, au exile from Hungary. But this cue of whom I speak today had such resounding farewell and came into such chilling reception?for not et en a hostler went out with his lantern to light him in?that ho is more to be celebrated than any oth er expatriated exile of earth or heaven. From Throne room to Sheep Fen. First, I remark that Christ was an imperial exile. He get down off a throne. He took off a tiara. He closed a palace gate behind him. His family were princes and princesses. Vashti was turned out of the throncrooni by Ahasuerus. David was dethroned by Absalom's infamy. The live kings were hurled into a cavern by Joshua's courage. Some of the Henrys of England and some cf the Louis cf France were jostled on their tlironcs by discontented subjects. But Christ was never more honored or mere popular cr more loved than the day he left heaven. Exiles have suffered severely, but Christ turned himself out from tlironeroom into sheep pen, and down from the top to the bottom. He was not pushed off. He was not manacled i'or foreign transportation. He was not put out because they no more wanted him in celestial domain, but by choice, departing and descending into an exile five times as long as that of Napoleon at St. Helena, and a thousand times worse?the one exile suffering for that he had destroyed nations, the other exile suffering because lie came to save a world. An imperial exile. King eternal. ' 'Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne," But I go farther and tell you he was an exile on a barren island. This world is one of the smallest islands of light in the ocean of immensity. Other stellar kingdoms are many thousand tinns larger than this. Christ came to this small Patincs of a world. When exiles are sent out, they are generally sent to regions that are sandy or cold or hot? some Dry Tortugas of disagreeableness. Christ came as an exile to a world scorched with heat and bitten with cold, to deserts simoom swept, to a howling wilderness. It was the back dooryard seemingly of the universe. Yea, Christ came to the poorest part of this barren island of a world?Asia Minor, with its intense summers, unfit for the residence of a foreigner, and in the fttipy season unfit for the residence of a. native. Christ came not to such a land as America or England or France or Germany, but to a land one-third of the year drowned, another third of the year burned up, and only one-third of the year just tolerable. Oh, it was the barren island of a world 1 Barren enough for Christ, for it gave such, small worship and such inadequate affection, and such little gratitude. Imperial exile on the barren island of a world. The Earth A|alait Him. I go farther and tell you that he was an exile in a hostile country, Turkey was never so much against Russia, France was never so much against Germany, as this earth was against Christ It took him in through the door of a stable. It thrust him out at the point of a spear. The Roman government against him with every weapon of its arm, and every decision of its courts and every beak of its war eagles. For years after his arrival the only question was how best to nut him out Herod hated him, the high priests hated him, the Pharisees hated him, Judas Iscariot hated him. Gestas, the dying thief, hated him. The whole earth seemingly turned into a detective to watch his steps, ^jid yet he faced this ferocity. Notice that most of Christ's wounds were in front. Some scourging on the shoulders, but most of Christ's wounds in front He was not on retreat when he expired. Face to face with the world's ferocity. Face to face with the world's sin. Face to face with the world's woe. His eye on the raging countenances of his foaming antagonists when he expired. When the cavalry officer roweled his steed so that he might come nearer up and see the tortured visage of the suffering exile, Christ saw it When the spear was thrust at his side, and when the hammer was lifted for his feet, and when the reed was raised to strike deeper down the spikes of thorn, Christ watched the whole procedure. When his hands were fastened to the cross they were wide open still wirn benediction. Mind yqp, bis bead was not fastened He coold look to the rigbt and be could look to tbe left, and be could look up and he could look down. He saw when tbe spikes bad been driven home, and tbe bard, round, iron beads were in the palms of his bands. He saw them as plainly as you ever saw any-* thing in tbe palms of your hands. No ether, no chloroform, no merciful anaesthetic to dull or stupefy, but, wide awake, he saw the obscuration of the heavens, the unbalancing of the rocks, the countenances quivering with rage and tbe cachinnation diabolic. Ob, it was the hostile as well as tbe barren island of a world. Far From Heaven. I go farther and tell you that this exile was far from home. It is 95,000, - 000 miles from here to tne sun, ana au astronomers agree in saying that our solar system is only one of the smaller wheels of the great machinery cf the universe turning around some one great center, the center so far distant it is beyond all imagination and calculation, and if, as some think, that great center in the distance is heaven, Christ came far from home when he came here. Have you ever thought of the homesickness of Christ? Some of yon know what homesickness is when you have been only a few weeks absent from the domestic circle. Christ was 88 years away from home. Some of yon feel homesickness when you are a hundred or a thousand miles away from the domestic circle. Christ was more million miles away from home than you could count if all your life you did nothing but count. You know what it is to be homesick even amid pleasant surroundings, but Christ slept in huts, and he was athirst, and he was a-hungered, and he was on the way from being born in another man's barn to being buried in another man's grave. I have read how the Swiss, when they are far away from their native country, at the sound of their national air get so homesick that they fall into melancholy, and sometimes they die under the homesickness. But, oh, the homesickness of Christ ! Poverty homesick fcr celestial riches. Persecution homesick for hosanna. Weariness homesick for rest. Homesick for angelic and archangelic companionship. Homesick to o# +Ua v>irrVtf on/1 cf/trm VUl U1 IUU UUU VUV UW44U, and the world's execration. Homesickness will make a week seem as long as a month, and it seems to me that the three decades of Christ's residence on earth must have seemed to him almost interminable. You have often tried to measure the other pangs of Christ, but you have never tried to measure the magnitude and ponderosity of a Saviour's homesickness. I take a step farther and tell you that Christ was in an exile which he knew would end in assassination. Holrnan Hunt, the master painter, has a picture in which he represents Jesus Christ in the Nazarcne carpenter shop. Around him are the saws, the hammers, the axes, the drills of carpentry. The picture represents Christ as rising from the carpenter's working bench and wearily stretching out his arms as one will after being in contracted or uncomfortable posture, and the light of that picture is so arranged that the arms of Christ, wearily stretched forth, together with bis body, throw on the wall the shadow of the cross. Oh! my friends, that shadow was oil everything in Christ's lifetime. Shadow of a cross on the Bethlehem swaddling clothes. Shadow of a cross on the road over which the three fugitives fled into Egypt. Shadow of a cross on Lake Galilee as Christ walked its mosaic floor of opal and emerald and crystal. Shadow of a cross on the road to Enimaus. Shadow of a cross on the brook Kedron, and on the temple, and on the side of Olivet. Shadow of a cross on sunrise and sunset. Constantine, marching with his army, saw just once a cross in the sky, but Christ saw the cross all the time. The End Wm Death. On a rough journey we cheer ourselves with the fact that it will end in warm hospitality, but Christ knew that Superior to All Other. Gerexto, Miss , May 6th, 1892. Although 1 never used any secret remedies before, I prescribe St. Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice as I would any prescription of my own compounding, and any physician who' will do the same will be greatly pleased at the results achieved. In my opinion it is superior to all others and has been especially useful to me in Rheumatic and Scrofulous cases. R. M. KITTREL, M. D. For further information call at Julian E. Kauffmann's drug store and ask for a pamphlet entitled. "A Treatise on the Blood." 23, - A Life Saved. Jamestown, Tenn., October 15, 1891. My daughter tried physicians and I < nearly all remedies for Female irregularities, but received no relief or j benefit whatever. We had nearly despaired of her recovery when we were induced by our postmaster, Mr. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstle's j Female Panacea, and after using four bottles she was entirely cured, for which I feel it my duty to let it be known to the world and suffering humanity, for I believe she owes her life to the Panacea.

I his rough path would end at a defoliagcd tree without one leaf and with only two branches, bearing fruit of sucli bitterness as no human lips had ever tasted. Oh, what an exile?starting in an in- ( fancy without any cradle and ending in . assassination! Thirst withou t any water. Day without any sunlight The doom of a desperado for more than angelic excellence. For what that expatriation and , ( that exile? Worldly good sometimes comes from worldly evil.

The gates of this j | continent have been so widely opened I ? that there are here many voluntary ex- i r iles from other lands. Seme of you are Scotchmen.

Some of your ancestors sleep- ! ing in Greyfriars churchyard, or by the i deep lochs filled out of tho pitchers of j heaven, or under the heather, sometimes ' so deep of color it makes one think of j the blood of the Covenanters who signed : c their names for Christ, dipping their i x pens into the veins of their own arms : opened for that purpose.

I bespeak for ; this royal exile of my text the love and I \ the service of all Scotch exiles. Some of < you are. ihigiisnmen. i our ancestry i served the Lord.

If you ever heard anything sweeter, I never did, although I cannot adopt all its theology: Twas whispered one moraine in heaven How the little ehild angel May, In the shade of the great white portal, Sat sorrowing night and day; How she said to the stately warden. He of the key and bar: "Oh, angel, sweet angel, I pray you Set the beautiful gates ajar, Only a little, I pray you. Set the beautiful gates ajar. "I can hear my mother weeping. She is lonely: she cannot see A glimmer of light in the darkness When the gates shut after me. Oh. turn me the key, sweet angel; The splttidor will shine so far." But the warden answered, "I dare not Set the beautiful gates ajar," Spoke low and answered, "I dare not Set the beautiful gates ajar." Then up rose Mary, the blessed, ' Sweet Mary, the mother of Christ. Her hand on the hand of the angel She laid, and her touch sufficed. Turned was the key in the portal, Fell ringing the golden bar. And, lo, in the little child's fingers Stood the beautiful gates ajar, In tho little child's angel fingers Stood the beautiful gates ajar. Elevated Back Yards. Some of the second floor dwellers ot rreniont enjoy advantages of which the xxupants of the first floors are deprived. In many parts of that district the Iweliing houses are built adjoining. Some of these houses are erected after he cheapest plans possible, and in many instances the owners refuse to bear tho jxpenses of having hills behind them ;ut down. By this fact the occupants of the first 3oor are deprived of yard advantages, ivhile those on the second and often on he third and fourth floors have them. It is not an uncommon thing there 'or an occupant of the first floor to ask :he occupant of the second or third, 'May I hang my clothes in your back rard?"?New York Herald. $100 Howard $100.

Baku, President TEACHING BLIND DEAF MUTES. ~ * Surprising Progress Made With ft Number of Pupils. - ^ Three blind deaf mutes, whose facul- ' ^ ties have been developed from a completely latent condition, are subjects of special notice in the report of the Perkins Institution For the Blind, Boston. Edith Thomas is described as furnishing convincing testimony to the efficacy of the system which is pursued in training such children. She has a good share of common sense, but is a little averse to intellectual exertion. Yet she is improv- iug fast, gaining knowledge regularly .%$} and systematically and is ''steadily becoming more skillful, attentive, thoughtful, logical and earnest, and the stream of her thoughts grows broader, deeper and richer." She is fond of letter writ- P iiig and docs it with increasing facility of expression, while her letters show i-j+jjmI that she appreciates the pleasures at life and despite her privations enjoys them highly. She likes reading and be- -VM ing read to, but wants hex books true to life and will not listen to fairy or highly imaginative stories. She is able to appreciate the rhythm of poetry, and '3$ Whit tier and Tennyson are among her favorites. She dislikes arithmetic and is backward in it, but is proficient in geographv. She has learned to mold maps in clay and is able to repeat accurately the details of the surface of the regions she | has studied. At the school commence- |||| ment of 1894 she modeled the map of V&iSj. Massachusetts, divided it into counties in the presence of the audience and pointed cut the natural features and toe towns with her left hand, while with her right hand she spelled the names into the hand of a blind classmate, who | announced them. She has become a _v^ skillful doll's dressmaker without the aid of nattems, and in teaching the use cf the Braille typewriter to her oompaa* ions she has exhibited die qualities at a strict disciplinarian. Willie Elizabeth Robin, now 10 yean '% old, came to the institution four yean : ago, totally blind and deaf and ignorant ; >> of language. She has became proficient \ in reading, writing, elementary zoology, A"' articulation and knitting and sewing by the Sloyd method. She has even > learned to use her tongue rather than AjgH talk with her fingers. She is specially m interested in studying animal forms vg and searches out the minute details of their structure. She is expected to tell > all 'she xan discover of each specimen | given her, to represent it in clay and J afterward write down what she has j learned. Of a crayfish studied thus 4 reported: "It has eight arms and two legs and a tail and two eyes; it has a body; it lives in the water. The body is ; hard, and the arms and the legs axe not j strong; they are soft" ? ;^|f| I Tommy Stringer came to the kinder- j garten department feeble, inert exhib- ; j iting few signs of intelligence and seem- j ingly devoid of most of the impulses of j children. He is now full of eager cnri- j osity concerning the world about hint enjoys life and is bright, affectionate and extremely fond of fun. He is at the 1 head of his class in some -of his studies. > He is remarkably interested in matter* J of housekeeping and domestic economy. I He has a strong bent toward zoological Jj|j9| j stndy. In a talk about fish his attention j was drawn to the backbone. He felt it -?&?] carefully from end to end and then 'i j passed his fingers up and down his own 1 backbone to show the correspondence; j "On discovering the eyes, month, aoe- . -Jh trils, etc., of the frog, he pointed to j similar features of his oxyx, and when J l^e found joints in the frog's hind leg* j he immediately began looking for the j Joints of his own body and found near- j ly all." No seeing boy's portrait is ^ more animated in expression than his. ?Popular Science Monthly. At New Orleans recently Juliua^Haymau sold his well known geldings? Chattanooga to C. Yonng for $850 and Longdale to S. Levy for $150.
