How Very Illogical Men Are In Their At? titude Toward the Claims of Christianity. Poor Doctor?, Poor Farmer?, Poor Law yers and Poor Christians. BROOKLYN. April 16.-Rev. Dr. Tal mage in his sermon in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this forenoon spread before the great audience in eloquent words the beauty and attractiveness of the gospel feast, the text chosen being from Luke xiv. IS, "And they all with one consent began to make excuse." After the invitations to a levee are sent out the regrets come in. One man apologizes for nonattendance on one ground, another on another ground. The most of the regrets are founded on prior engagements. So in my text a great banquet was spread, the invita tions were circulated, and now the re grets come in. The one gives an agri cultural reason, the other a stock deal ers reason, the oilier a domestic reason -all poor reasons. Tne agricultural rea son being that the man had bought a farm and wanted to see it. Could he not see it the next day? The stock deal er's reason being that he had bought five yoke of oxen, and he wanted to go and prove them. He had no business to buy them until he knew what they were. Besides that a man who can own rive yoke of oxen can command his own time. Besides that he might haveyok J two of them together and driven them on the way to the banquet, for locomo tion was not as rapid then as now. The man who gave the domestic reason said he had got married. He ought to have taken his wife with him. The fact was they did not want to go. "And they all with one consent began to make ex cuse." So now God spreads a great ban quet; it is the gospel feast, and the table reaches across the hemispheres, and the invitations go out and multitudes come and sit down and drink out of the chalices of God's love, while other multitudes de cline coining-the one giving this apolo gy and the other giving that apology. "And they all with one consent began to make excuse." I propose this morning, so far as God may help me, to examine the apologies which men make fur not entering the Christian life. Apology the first: lam not sure there is anything valuable in the Christian re ligion. It is pleaded that there arc so many impositions in this day-so many things that seem to be real are sham. A gilded outside may have a hollow inside. There is so much quackery in physics, in ethics, in politics, that men come to the habit of incredulity, and after awhile they allow that incredulity to collide with our holy religion. CT. HAS SLADE A OOOD . (ED. But, my friends, I think religion has made a pretty good record in the world. How many wounds it has salved; how many pillars of fire it has lifted in the midnight wilderness; how many si moom struck Sabaras it hath turned into the gardens of the Lord; how it hath stilled tho chopped seal What rosy light it hath sent streaming through the rift of the storm cloud wrack: what pools of cool water it hath gathered for thirsty Hagar and Ishmael; what manna whiter than coriander seed it hath dropped all around che camp of hardly bestead pil grims; what promises it hath sent out like holy watchers to keep the lamps burning around deathbeds! Through the darkness that lowers into the sepulcher, what flashes of resurrection morn.' Besides that, tins religion has made ..J many heroes. It brought .Summerfield, the Methodist, across the Atlantic ocean with his silver trumpet to blow the ac ceptable year of the Lord, until it seemed as if all our American cities would take the kingdom of heaven by violence. It sent Jehudi Ashman into Africa alone, in a continent of naked barbarians, to iift the standard of civilization and Christianity. It made John Milton among poets, Raphael among painters, Christopher Wren among architects, Thorwaldsen among sculptors, Handel among musicians. Dupont among mili tary commanders; and to give new wings to the imagination, and better balance to the judgment, and more determina tion to the will, and greater usefulness to the life, and grander nobility to the soul, there is nothing in all the earth like our Christian religion. Nothing in religion! Why, then, all those Christians were deceived when in their dying moment they thought they saw the castles of the blessed; and your child, that with unutterable c^ony you put away into the grave-you will never 6ee him again, nor hear his sweet voice, nor feel the throb of his young heart? There is nothing in religion! Sick: ess will come upon you. Roll and turn on your pillow. No relief. The medicine may be bitter, the night may be dark, the pain may be sharp. No relief. Christ never comes to the sick room. Let the pain stab. Let the fever burn. Curse it and die. There is nothing in religion! After awhile death will come. You will hear the pawing of the pale horse on the threshold. The spirit will be breaking away from the body, and it will take fight-whither, whither? There is no God, no ministering angels to conduct, no Christ, no heaven, no home. Noth ing in religion! Oh, you are not willing to adopt such a dismal theory. And yet the world is full of skeptics. And let me say there is no class of people for whom I have a warmer sympathy than for skeptics. We do not know how to treat them. We deride them, we cari cature them. We, instead of taking them by the soft hand of Christian love, clutch them with the iron pincers of ecclesias ticism. Oh, if you knew how those mri had fallen away from Christhinity and become skeptics you would not be so rough on them. Some were brought up . in homes where religion was overdone. The most wretched day in the week was Sunday. Religion was driven ii to them with s triphammer. They had a surfeit . of prayer meetings. They were stuffed ;' s*ad choked y ita catechisms. They were told by their parents that they we worst children that ever lived bi they liked to ride down' hill bette] to read "Pilgrim's Progress." I never heard their parents talk of re I but with the corners of their m drawn down and the eyes rolled ut THE UNFAITHFUL IS A STUMBLING El Others went into skepticism th: maltreatment on the part of som professed religion. There is a mai says, "My partner in business wa ubi? in prayer meeting, and he -w ficiotis in all religious circles, h cheated me out of $3,000, and I want any of that religion." There are others who got into s' cism by a natural persistence in a questions-why or how. How can he one being in three persons? The; not understand it.

CUBIST'S REMEDY FOB BAD TEMPER. Other persons apologize for not en ing the Christian life because of the corrigibihty of their temi>er. Now, admit it is harder for some people to come Christians than for others, but grace of God never came to a mount that it could not climb, or to an at that it could not fathom, or to a bond that it could not break. The wile horse that ever trod Arabian sands been broken to bit and trace. The m est torrent tumbling from mount shelving has bern harnessed to the u wheel and the factory band, scttin; thousand shuttles all a-buzz and a-o ter, and the wildest, the haughtiest, most ungovernable man ever created the glace of God may be subdued i sent out on ministry of kindness, as G sends an August thunderstorm to wa the wild flowers down in the grass. Good resolution, reformatory effc will not effect the change. It take! mightier ann and a mightier hand bend evil habits than the hand that Ix the bow of Ulysses, and it takes a stroi er lasso than ever held the buffalo on 1 prairie. A man cannot go forth w any human weapons and contend si cessfully against these Titans armed w uptorn mountain. But you have knoi men into whose spirit the influence the gospel of Christ came until their d position was entirely changed. So was with two merchants in New Yoi They were very antagonistic. They h done all they could to injure each othi They were in the same line of busine One of the merchants was converted God. Having been converted, he ask the Lord to teach him how to bear hi: self toward that business antagonist, a: he was impressed with the fact that was his duty when a customer asked f a certain kind of goods which he h; ..ot. but which he knew his oppone iad, to recommend him to go to th store. I suppose that is about *he har est thing the man could do, but beii thoroughly converted to G-.d he i solved to do that very thing, and beii asked for a certain kind of goods whi< he had not he said. "You go t^ such ar such a store and you will get it." Aft awhile merchant No. 2 found these cu tomers coming so sent, and he f< un i al: that inercL it No. 1 had been broug] to God. and he sought the same religio: Now they are good friends and got neighbors, the grace of God entire changing their disposition. TH< >SE RUGGED CHRISTIANS. "Oh," says some one, "I have a rongl jagged, impetuous nature, and religio can't do anything for me." Do yon kno* that Martin Luther and Robert Newto and Richard Baxter were impetuous, a consuming natures, yet the grace of Go turned them into the mightiest usefu ness? Oh. how many who have been pui nacious and hard to please and irascibl and more bothered about the mote i their neighbor's eye than about the bear like ship timber in their own eye hav been entirely changed by the grace c God and have found out that- "godli ness is profitable for the life that now i as well as for the life which is to come!' Peter, with nature tempestuous as tin sea that he once tried to walk, at om look of Christ went out and wept bitter ly. Rich harvests of grace may grow ot the tiptop of the jagged steep, and flock: of Christian graces may find pasturagi in fields of bramble and rock. T.ougl your disposition may be all a-bristle witt fretfulness, though you have a tempei a-gleam with quick lightnings, thougl: your avarice be like that of the horse leech, crying. "Give!" though damnabh impurities have wrapped you in all con suming fire. God can drive that devi] out of your soul, and over the chaos and the darkness he can sav, "Let t .ere be light." Converting grace has lifted the drunk ard from the ditch and snatched the knife from the hand of the assassin and the false keys from the burglar, and in the pestif erous lanes of the city met the daughter of sin under the dim lamplight and scat tered her sorrow and her guilt with the words, "Thy sins are forgiven-go and sin no more." For scarlet sin a scarlet atonement. Other persons apologize for not enter ing the Christian life because of the in consistencies of those who profess reli gion. There are thousands cf poor farmers. They do not know the nature of soil nor.the proper rotation of crops. Their corn is shorter in the stalk and smaller in the ear. They have 10 less bushels to the acre than their neighbors. But who declines being a farmer because there are so many poor farmers? There are thousands of incompetent merchants. They buy at the' wrong time. They get cheated in the sale of their goods. Every hale of goods is to them a bale of disaster. They fail after awhile and go out of business. But who ? declines to be a merchant because there are so many incompetent merchants? There- are thousands of poor lawyers. They cannot draw a declaration that will stand the test. They cannot recover just damages. They cannot help a de fendant escape from tho injustice of- his persecutors. They are th J worst evi dence against any case in which they are retained. But who declines to be a lawyer because there are so many in competent lawyers? Yet there are tens of thousands of people who decline being religious because there are so many un worthy Christians. Now, I say it is il logical. Poor lawyers are nothing against jurisprudence, poor physicians are nothing against medicine, p jor farm ers are nothing against agriculture, anti mean, contemptible professors of religion are nothing against'our glorious Christi anity. THE WILL-O'-THE-WISP OF UNBELIEF. Sometimes you have been riding along on a summer night by a swamp, and you have seen lights that kindled over decayed vegetation-lights which are called jack-o'-lantern orwill-o'-che-wisp. These lights 3re merely poisonous mias mata. My friends, on your way to heaven you will want a better light than the will-o'-the-wisps which dance on the rotten character of dead Christians. Ex udations from poisonous trees in our neighbor's garden will make a very poor balm for our wounds. Sickness will come, and we will be pushed out toward the Ked sea which divides this world from the next, and not the inconsistency of Christians but the rod of faith will wave back the waters as a commander wheels his host. The j aug ment will come with itsthundershod so lemnities, attended by bursting moun tains and the deep ugh of earthquakes, and suns will fly oefore the feet of God like sparks from the anvil, and 10.000 burning worlds shall blaze like banners in the track of God omnipotent. Oh, then we will stop and say. "There was a mean Christian; there was a cowardly Christian; there v as a lying Christian; there was an impure Christian." In i hat j day as now, "If thou be wise, thou shalt J be wise for thyself, but if thou scorn est thou alone shall bear it." Why, my brother, the inconsistency of Christians so far from being an argument to keep you away from God ought to l?e an ar gument to drive you to him. The l>est place for a skillful doctor is :l neighbor hood where they are all poor doctors: the best place for an enterprising merchant to open his store is in a place where tlK bargain makers do hot understand their business, and the best place for you who want to become the illustrious and com plete Christians-the best place for you is to come right down among us who are so incompetent and so inconsistent some times. Other persons apologize for not becom ing Christians because they lack time, as though religion muddled the brain of the accountant, or tripped the pen of the author, or thickened the tongue of the orator, or weakened tii3 arm of the me chanic, or scattered the briefs of the lawyer, or interrupted the sales of the merchant. They bolt their store doors against it and fight it back with trowels and with yard sticks and cry, "Away with your religion from our store, our office, our factory!" A RELIGION FOR WORKERS. They do not understand that religion in this workaday world will help you to do anything you ought to do. It can lay a keel, it can sad a ship, it can buy a car go, it can work a pulley, it can pave a Bt-eet, it can fit a wristband, it can write a constitution, it can marshal a host. It is as appropriate to tho astronomer as his telescope, to the chemist as his labora tory, to the mason as his plumbline, to the carpenter as his plan?*, to the child as his marbles, to the grandfather tis his staff. No time to be religious here! You have no time not to be religious. You might as well have no clerks in your store, no books in your libran-, no compass on your ship, no rifle in the battle, no hat for your head, no coat lor your back, no shoes for your feet. Better travel on to ward eternity bare headed and bare f( toted and houseless and homeless and friend less than to go through life without re ligion. Did religion make Raleigh any less of a statesman, or Havelock any less of a soldier, or Grinnell any less of a mer chant, or West any less of a painter? Region is the best security in every bargain, it is the sweet? st note in every song, it is the brightest gem in every coronet. No time to be religions! Why, you will have to take time to be sick, to be troubled, to die. Our world is only the wharf from which we are to embark for heaven. No time to secure the friendship of Christ. No time to buy a lamp and trim it for that walk through the darkness which otherwise will be illumined only hythe whiteness of the tombstones. No time to ed?cate; the eye for heavenly splendors, or the hand for choral harps, or the ear for everlasting songs, or the soul for honor, glory and immortality. One would think we had time for nothing else. Other persons apologize for not enter ing the Christian life because it is time enough yet. That is very like those per sons who send their regrets and say: "I will come in perhaps at ll or 12 o'clock. I will not be there at the owning of the banquet, but I will be there at the close." Not yet! Not yet! Now, I do not give any doleful view of this life. There is nothing in my na ture, nothing in the grace of God, that tends toward a doleful view of human life. I have not much sympathy with Addison's description of the "Vision of Mirza." where he represents human life as being a bridge of a hundred arches, and both ends of the bridge covered with clouds, and the race coming on, the most of them falling down through the first span, and s ll of them falling down through the last span, lt is a very dis mal picture. I have not much sympathy with the Spanish proverb which says. "The sky is good, and the earth is good -that which is bad is between the earth and the sky." CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE HOPEFUL. But while we Christian people are bound to take a cheerful view of life we I must also confess that life is a great un certainty, and that man who says, "I can't become a Christian because there is time enough yet," is running a risk infi nite. You do not perhaps realize the ! fact that this descending .^rade of sin ! gets steeper and steeper, and that you are gathering up a rush and velocity which after awhile may not answer to the brakes. Oh, my friends, be not among those who give their whole life to the world and then give their corpse to God. It does not seem fair while our pulses are in full play of he' 1th that we serve our selves and serve the world and then make God at last the present of a coffin. It does not seem right that we run our ship from coast to coast, earning cargoes for j ourselves, and then when the ship is crushed on the rocks give to God the shivered timbers. It is a great thing for a man on his dying pillow to repent better than never at all-bat how much better, how much more generous, it would have been if he had repented 50 years before ! My friends, you will never get over these procrastinations. Here is a delusion. People think, "I can go on in sin and worldliness, but after awhile I will repent, and then it will be as though I had come at the very start." That is a delusion. No one ever gets fully over procrastination. If you give your soul to God, some other time than this, you will enter heaven with only half the capacity for enjoyment and knowledge you might have had. There will be heights of blessedness you might have attained, you will never reach: thrones of glory on which j-ou might have been seated, but which you will never climb. We will never get over procrastination, neither in time nor in eternity. We have started on a march from which there is no retreat. The shadows of eternity gather on our path way. How insignificant ' is time com pared, with the.vast eternity! I was thinking of this while coming down over the Alleghany mountains at noon, by that wonderful place which you have all heard described as the Horseshoe-a de pression in the side of the mountain where the train almost turns backs again upon itself, and you see how appropriate is the description of the Horseshoe-and mm thinking on this very theme and prepar ing this very sermon it seemed to me as if the great courser of eternity seeding along had just struck the'mountain with one hoof and gone on into illimitable space. So short is time, so insignificant is earth, compared with the vast eternity: This morning voices roll down the sky, and all the worlds of light are ready to rejoice at your disenthrallment. Rush not into the presence of the king ragged with sin when you may have this robe of righteousness. Dash not your foot to pieces against the throne of a crucified Christ. Throw not your crown of life o', the battlements. All the scribes of God are this moment ready with vol umes of living light to record the news of your soul emancipated. Why the Barber Wa? Silent. A distinctive feature of one of the lux urious barber shops in che dry goods district is a razor wielder who can out talk the traditional talkative barber. His tongue is seldom idle when he is at work, and were it not for the fact that he Ls a barber of uncommon skill and neatness he would have been banished from the shop long ago. As it is, most of the customers put up with his chatter good naturedly, and some of them en courage him to talk out of pure mischief. One da}* last week an overworked and wean- "head of a department" in a large dry goods house hurried into this par ticular shop for a quick shave. An in voluntary shudder shook his frame when he saw that tho only vacant chair be longed to the talkative barber. He nerved himself for the ordeal ?nd was greatly surprised when the barber said nothing to him as he took his seat. His astonishment increased when he found that the usually loquacious artist was actually shaving him without say ing a word. The jori was done quickly and neatly, and when the barber had finished the customer jumped up and ex claimed enthusiastically: "By Jove, that is the most restful shave I ever had. Here's H quarter for yon. You seem to have turned over a new leaf." The knight of the razor shook his head gloomily and muttered: "Can't talk. Burned mouth with carbolic acid. Thought it was sherry wine."-New York Times. Bound to Bc Heard From.

Double Star?. It seemed impossible for many years tc find the parallax of a single star, an es sential element in determining its dis tance and consequently its mass. Bessel in 1S3S found the parallax of 61 Cygni and from it computed its distance to bc seven light years, or that it takes seven years for its light to reach the earth. This star, the nearest to the earth in tho northern heavens, is a small fifth magnitude star in the Swan. Its compo nents, nearly equal in size, are of the fifth and sixth magnitudes, shining with a wh'te light tinged with yellow. The co^"iiK>nents of many binary sys tems are of ?l?V-rent colors. Beta Signi, a donbl.e star, displays the exquisite com bination of a tcipaz yellow and a sapphire blue. Epsilon Lyra? is a quadmple star. It is called a naked eye double, since the eye just separate? it into two compo nents. These can be again separated, giving a double double or quadmple star. Sigma Orionis isa multiple star.

One of the great glaciers of north Greenland has been named after Mr. George W. Childs by Professor Heilprin. the leader of the Peary relief expedition. While the members of that party were engaged in their mission they spent some time in a large and beautiful bay, which is called after Mr. Sonteg, one of Dr. Hayes" party, who lost his life in that neighborhood while on an exploring trip. At the head of this bay are two large and particularly handsome glaciers, one empytinginto the wa-ors from the north side and the other from the south. The latter seemed to afford exception al opportunities of testing a much moot ed question whether it is possible to reach the great interior ice cap by means of these frozen rivers with the usual im pedimenta of arctic travelers, and Pro fessor Heilprin decided to attempt the work, which was carried out successful ly, all the members of the part}- taking part except two, one of whom was iaid up through a slight accident.

George's mother had company in the parlor one evening when the nurse was away. Mamma put him to bed and told him to go to Sleep hke a good boy. 3e was very unwilling and was hardly pir suaded even when she told him that he would not be by himself, for God was with him and would take care of him. At last he consented, and she went down stairs to her visitors. After an hour's pleasant chat she congratulated her&df that the baby was fast asleep, when what should she see at the parlor door but her little boy'in his white nightgown, loc k ing as if he had just stepped down f ron - a picture and saying pathetically, "Maxi-, ma, dear, you tum up and tay wif Dc d awhile and let me tun in here."-Nev York Tribune, THE 'SPOTTER" MUST GO. Street.Car Conductor? Are Too Familiar With His Ways to Be Caught. "The railroad spotter has about out lived his usefulness and will soon ha<-e to seek another occupation," was the re mark of a Broadway street car conduct or. "Nearly all the spotters in the city are now known personally to all the con ductors, for the new men are introduced to the conductors by means of a secret code of signals while they are being .broke in.' " The system of checking is ?lso so well understood that the moment a new spot ter commences he is himself spotted and laughed at. The most popular method is to read a book and to ti rn overa page every time a passenger enters a car or pays his fare. Many of the ladies who skim through a book carelessly as they ride on a car are spotters, and some of them are so careless that they use the same book day after day, never thinking that it must be spotted and detected. Other spotters of both sexes use a row of pins, and act ing as though they were nervous trans fer them from one part of their vest to another, taking care to move one every time a passenger gets on. Taking notes on shirt wristbands is much simpler and really attracts less attention, but it does not possess the desired mysteriousness and is seldom done. A book could be written on the jckos that are played on spotters after they be come well known to the conductors. To rccost one of these worthies personally and ask if the register is all right Ls an act reported to in retaliation for special meanness, and the sting in this lies in the fact that the spotter knows that dis charge will follow if the company knows he has been recognized. Another plan is to purposely omit to ring up fares, but to keep careful track of the number taken. The spotter takes note of the omission and prepares a. report to the superintendent. In the meantime the conductor has rung up the fares, doing so the moment the spotter got off. and when the report" is compared with the trip sheets it is found that the mistake has been made not by tho man reported, but by the man or woman making the report. But the conscientious spotter is not so much to be feared. The spotter who makes the lives of conductors miserable is the one who guesses. Instead of keep ing actual tab of the number of pas sengers some spotters will make au esti mate and actually base a report on it. This is as ridiculous as unjust, for while the trip cars are out the crowds are so large that the conductor himself could not make even an approximate guess as to the number of fares taken. Still some of the detectives in embryo will assume the ability of doing this, and more than one man has gone out into the world with a slur on his reputation for honesty because of this combination of idleness and cov.ceit.-New York Telegram.

If horses stretch emt their necks and sniff the air and assemble in the corne: of a field with their heads to leeward, look for rain. _ Forming Square?. It is remarkable that recent tactics in the Soudan, when we formed squares to resist the rush of our fanatical oppo nents, are simply a copy of those winch Na?Mjlt on was compelled to adopt i i that part of the world nearly a century a:o. The Mamelukes, who were his most dan gerous antagonists, were better trained and better mounted than any cavalry he had to bring against them, and. more over, greatly outnumbered the French squadrons. He was obliged, therefore, to rely entirely on his artillery and in fantry, and these were formed into squares, with the guns at th ingles, just as our troops were draw* m to stem the rushes at EJ Tcb and Tamai. At Ulundi our formation was the same, and, like us on that occasion, we read that Napoleon placed his baggage and cavalry in the center of the square, and when the foe was beaten launched the horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose our squadrons on the Zulus.-Saturday Review. A Girl Who Weigh? 370 Pound?. A girl 13 years old, who weighs 370 pounds, is the daughter of O. B. Braiser, a farmer, who lives at the foot of Cum berland ridge. At the age of 3 the child was of ordinary size and mtelligence, but about tuat time she began to-increase rapidly in flesh, and it was within a year after that she attracted attention on ac count of her abnormal growth. From that time on she increased to such pro portions that people for miirs around flocked to see her, and she became the wonder of the day. She is yet a child in age and actions, engaging heartily in sports with neigh bor children, and is clever and energetic in all her movements. The skill of tho physicians has been ineffective in staying the rapid growth.-Franklin (Tenn.) Re view-Appeal. MERCURIAL Mr. J. C. Jones of Fulton, Ark., says o?
