Text: "The Lord (7<xl r>f Israel, under . whose uinys Ihou art cvmc to trust."?liutli j U. 12. Sceue?An Oriental harvest field. Grain standing. Grain in swaths. Grain in : sheaves. At the side of the field a white tent in which to take the nooning, jars of vinegar I or of sour wine to quench the thirst of tho hot working people. Swarthy men striking > their sickles into the rustling barley. Others j twisting the bands for the sheaves, putting \ f ue end of the band under the arm, and ?ith j the free arm and foot collecting the sheaf, j Sunburned women picking up tho stray | straws and bringing them to the binders. t llcaz, a fine looking Oriental, gray boarded and hrierht faced, the owner of tho field, look tag on, and estimating the value of tho gram ; and calculating so many epbahs to tho acre, j and with his large, sympathetic heart pitying tho overtasked workmen and tho women, j with white faces enough to faint, in the hot noonday sun. But there is one woman who especially attracts tho man's attention. Sho is soon to bo with him tho joint owner of tho field. She has come from a distant land for tho role purpose of being kind to an aged woman. I know not what her features were: but when tho Lord God sets behind a woman's face tho lamp of courage and faith and self sacrifice there comes out a glory independent | of features. Sho is to be tho ancestress of Jesus Christ. JDoaz, the owner of the field, ussoon as he understands that it is Rutb, accosts her with a blessing: 44A full reward bo j given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under | whoso wing thou art comb to trust." Christ rompares Himself to a hen gathering tho ' chickens under her wings. In Deuteronomy [ God is represented as an eaglo stirring up I her nest. In a great many places in tbo i Psalms David makes ornithological allusions; ] while my text mentions tho wings of God, ; under which a poor, woary soul had coiuo to ( trust. I ask yonr attention, therefore, while, taking tho suggestion of my text, 1 .speak to you in all simplicity and lovo of tho wings of tho Almighty. First, I remark that they were swift wings j nuder which Ruth bnd couio to trust. Thero i c n?inrr in nil tlin hnnrUwnrlr nf finrl innrn curious than a bird's wing. You have been j surprised sometimes to see how tar it could ; Ily with one stroke of the wing; and when it has food in prospect, or when it is a {frighted, | the pulsations of the bird's whig are uuitnag- 1 inable for velocity. Tbo English Lords used ' to pride themselves on the speed of their fal- I cons. Theso birds, when tamed, had in them | the dart of lightning. How swift were tho carrier pigeons in the time of Anthony and at tho siege of Jcrusalom! Wonderful speed! : A carrier pigeon was thrown up nt Rouen j and enrno down at Ghent?ninety miles off? . in one hour. Tho carrier pigeons were tho I telegraphs of tho olden time. Swallows bavo j been shot in our latitudo having '.he uudi- j gested rieo of Georgia swamps in their crops, showing that they had come four hundred j miles in six hours. It has been estimated ' that in the teu years of a swallow's lifo it flies far enough to liavo gouo around tho world eighty-nine times, so great is its velocity. And so the wings of tho Almighty spoken of in tho text cro swift wings. They are swift wheu they drop upon a foe, and swift wbcu tboy come to help God's friends. If a father and his son bo walking by tho way, nnrl thft philr) trw* 11 pir n tirpoininft how lone does It toko for tho father to deliver tho cbihl from danger? Longer than it takes God to swoop for tho rescue of llis children. The fact is that j*ou caunot got away from tho caro of God. If you tako tho steamship or the swift rail train lie is all tho lime along with you. "Whither shall I go from Thy spirit, and whither shall I fleo from Thy presenco? If I ascend up into heaven Tt ou art there. If I make my l>od in hell, behold! Thou art there. If I tako tho wings of tho morning and dwell in tho uttermost parts of the sea, even there Thy hand shall hold tue." Tho Arabian gazello is swift as the wind. If it gets but ono glimpse of tho hunter it puts many crags between. Solomon four or five times compares Christ to an Arabian gazelle (calling it by another name) when ho i says, "My beloved is like a roe." Tho difference is that the roe spoeds the other way; Jesus speeds this. Who hut Christ could have been quick enough tnhavo helped Peter when the water pavement broke? Who hut Christ could have been quick enough to help tho Duke of Argylo when in his dying moment, he cried: "Good cheer! I could die like a Roman, but I mean to die like a Christian. Ho who goes first goes cleanest!" I had a friend who stood by the track at. Carlisle, Pecn.,when the ammunition had given out at Antietain, and ho saw the train from Harrisburg freighted with shot and shell ns it went thundering down toward thobattlo field. He said that it stopped not for any crossing. They put down tho brakes for no grade. They held npfor no peril. Tho wheels were on fire with tho speed ns they dashed past. 11 tiie iram aiu not come up m iiruo i with the ammunition it might as well not I come at all. . So, ray friends, there are times in our live3 when we must liavo help immediately or per- ! isb. The grace that coincs too late is no I grace at all. What you and I want is a God , ?now. Oh, is it not blessed to think that j God is always in such quick pursuit of His dear children? When a sinner seeks pardon, or a baffled soul needs help, swifter than thrush's wing, swifter than ptarmigan's wing, swifter than flamingo's wing, swifter I than eagle's wing aro the wings of the A!- I mighty. 1 remark further, carrying out the i lea of : my text, that tho wings under which lluth ; had come to trust wore very broad wings. : There have been eagles shot on tho Rocky i Mountains with wings that were seven feet I from tip to tip. dVliqp the king of the ojr ! sits on the crag the wings are spread over all I the eaglets in the eyrie, and when the eagle starts from tho rock tho shadow is like the ! spreading of a storm cloud. t>o tho wings of God aro broad wings. Rulh ha l been under those wings in her infantile days; in the days of her happy girlhood in Moab: in tho day when she gave her hand to Malilon, in her first marriage; in the day whoa sho wept over lus grave; in the day when sho trudged out into the wilderness of |>ovcrty; in the davs when she plucked up the few straws of barley dropped by aucieut custom in tho way of ilia j?oor. Oh! yes, the wings of God aro broad wings. They cover up all our wants, all our sorrows nil nnr .iiPWmr.c lliiimto over our cradio, and He puts t'je other over our crave. Yes, my dear friends, it is not a desert in which we are place I, it is a nest. Sometimes it is n very hard nest, like that of the eagles, spread on the ro*k. with ragged moss and rough sticks, but, still is a nest; and although it may 1>j very hard under us, over us are tjio wings of the Almighty. There sometimes comes a j> Tied in one's life when ho feels forsaken. You said, "Everything is against me. The world is against mo. The church is against me. No sympathy, no hope. Everybody that comes near no thrusts at iny. I rvjuJer is there is a (JoJ, anvhow I" Everything seen,., to he going slipVw 1 an 1 at haphazard. There dors no! soern to ba any hand on tho helm. Job's health fails. Jtavid's Absalom gels to bo a reprobate. Martha's brother dies. Abraham's Sarah goes into tho grave of Machpelab, "Woe worth t he day in which I was horn!" ho said many a Christian. David seemed to scream out in h>s sorrow, as lie sni 1: ".'s His mercy clean gone forever? And will He bo favorable no more? An l hath Ho in anger shut up His tender merc'es?" Job,with his throat i s wollou and ulcered until ho could not oven swallow the saliva that ran into his mouth, e.iclaims: "How long before Thou wilt dopart from me and loavo niealon\ that 1 may s.vallow down my spit tle?" Have there never been times in your life when you enviel those who wore buried? When you longol for tho graved igger to do his work for you? Oh, tho faithlessness of the human heart! (lod's wings are broa l, whether wo know it or not." oomotime3 tho mother bird goes away from the nest, an 1 it seems very si range that she should le?vo tho callow young. ft'.i plunges her beak into the bark of t:i.? tie*, and she drops into tho grain !?.:! ? and into l!io j chaff at tho lorn door, and into th" furrow of tbo plow boy. Meanwhile, the birds in the nest shiver and complaiu and call and wonder why the mother does not comeback. Ah, she has gono for food. After a whilo there is a whirr of wings,and tho mother bird stands on tho edge of tho ncsts and tho littlo ones ohqu tljoij jnoutlis, and tho food is dropped in; and then tho old bird spreads nut her feathers and all is peace. So,sometimes, God leaves us, Ho goes off to get bread for our soul, nnd then lie comes bade after a while to the nest and says, 'Open thy inouth tvido and I will Mil It," and Ho drops into it the sweet promise of His grace, nnd the lovo of God is she 1 abroad and wo are under His wings?the broad wings of the Almighty. Yes, tlioy nro very broad! There is room under those wings for the sixteen hundred millions of the race. You say: "Do not get !he invitation too large, for thoro is nothing more awkward thau to bavo inoro guests 'than accommodations." I know it. The seamen's friend society is inviting nil tho sailers. Tho tract society is inviting all tho destitute. Tho Sabbath-schools are Inviting all the children. Tho missionary society is inviting nil tho heathen. TIiq printing presses of tho Bible societies aro going night and day, doing nothing but printing invitation? to this groat gospel lwiuqiiot. And aro you not afraid that there will be more guests than accommodations? No! All who have beer invited will not half fill up the table of God's supply. There nro chairs for more. There are cups for more. God could with ono feather of His wing cover up all those who havo come, nnd when No spreads out both wings tboy cover ail tho earth and all tho heavens. Yo Israelites, who went through tho Hoi Sea, come under I Yo multitudes who have gone into glory for tho last six thousand years, come under!

Come un lor, yo wandering, yo weary, ye troubled; yo sinning, ye dying souls! Como under the wings of tho Almighty. Whosoever will como let him como. However ragged, howover wretched, however abandoned, however woe begone, there is room enough under tho wings?under tho broad wings of the Almighty! Oh. wlinfc a gospel! so glorious, so magnificent in its provision! I love to preach it. It is my life to preach it. It is uiy heaven to preach it. 1 remark-, further, that tho wings under which Ruth carno to trust wero strong wings. Tho strength of a bird's wing?of a sea fowl's wing for example?you might guess it from tho fact that sometimes for live, six or seven days it seems to fly without resting. Tiiere have been condors, in tho Andes that could overcome an ox or a stag. There have l>eon eag'e3 that have pickeJ up children and swung thorn to tho top of tho cliffs. Tha flap of an eagle's wing has death in it to everything it strikes. There are birds whose wings are packed with strength to fly, to lift, to destroy. So tho wings of Go! nro strong wings. Mighty to save. Mighty to destroy. I preach Him?"thoLorJ, strong and mighty; tho Ix?rd, mighty in battle!" ilo flopped His wing, ana the antediluvian world was gone. Ho flapped Ilis wing, und Babylon perished. He flapped His wing, and Hcrculanenm wa3 buried. He flapped His wing, and the Napolonic dynasty ceased. Before tho stroke of that pinion a fleet is nothing. An army is nothing. An empiro is nothing. A world is nothing. Tho universe is nothing. King?eternal, oinnipo1 , TT 1.? f-Ant ?I. IVUL ?uaaa ii?/ iuuii.^ j iiuui vuu vuiviivo of heaven, lio takes not tho archangel into His cabinet. Ho wants none to draw His chariots, for they are the winds. None to load His batteries, for they are tbo lightnings. Nono to tie tho sandals of Hi3 feet, for they are the clouds, Mighty to save. Our enemies may be strong, our sorrows violent, our sins may Iks great. Bat quicker than nu eaglo ever hurled from tho crags a hawk or ravoa will the Lord strike back our sins aud our temptations if they assault us when we aro oncj seated on the eternal rock of His salvation. What a blessed thing it is to be defen lol by the strong wing of tho Almighty I Stronger than the pelican's wing, stronger than the albatross' wing, stronger than the condor's wing are the wings of the Almighty. I have only one more thought lo present. Tho wings under which Ruth had come to trust were gentlo wings. There is nothing softer than a feather. You have noticed when a bird returns from flight how gently it stoops over the nest. Tho young birds aro not afraid of having their lives trampled out by the mother bird; tho old whippoor-will drops into its nest of leaves, tho oriole into its casket of bark, tho bumming bird iuto its hammock of moss?gentle as the light. And so, says tho psalmist. He shall cover thee with His Wing. Oh, the gentleuess of Godl But even that figure does not fully set forth; for I have sometimes lookod iuto the bird's nest and seen a dead bird?its life having been trampled out by tho mother bird. But no one that ever carno under the feathers of vho Almighty was trodden on. Blessed nest! warm nest! Why will men slay out in the cold to be shot of temptation and to be chilled Ivy tho blast where there is divine shelter? More beautiful than auy (lower I ever saw aro tho hues of? bird's plumage. Did you ever oxamino it? Tho hiackbirt', lion ring mce a u.iko ui uiu-miess through the sunlight; tho meadow lark, with head of fawn n.n?l throat of velvet and breast of gold; tho red flamingo, flying over the southern swamps like sparks from the forge of the setting sun; the pelican, white and black?morning and night tangled in its wings?give but n faint idea of the beauty that comes down over tho soul when on it drop the feathers of tho Almighty. Here fold your weary wings. Thi3 is tho only safe nest. Every other nest will bo dostroyoJ. Tho prophet says so: "Though thou exalt thyself like the eagle, and set thy nest among tho stars, yet will I bring thee down, saitb the Lord of Hosts." Under tho r.wift wings, under tho broad wings, under the strong wings, under the gentle wings of tho Almighty find shelter until thoso calamities are overpast. Then when you want to chnuge nests it will only bo from tho valley of earth to the hoi glits of heaven; and instead of "llie wings of a dove," for which David longed, not knowing that in tho first milo of their flight they would give out, you will bo conducted upward by the Lord God of Israel, under Iwhoso wings Ruth, tho beautiful IVIoahitcss, came to trust. God forbid that in this matter of eternal weal or woo wo should 'bo more stupid than tho fowls of heaven; "for tho stark k no wot h her appointed time, .and tho turtle, and tho crane, and the swailow observe the time ol their going; but ray pcoplo know not the judgments of tlio Lord." The Danger of Too Much ExercisoDr. I':tton, chief surgeon of the National Soldiers' Homo, at Dayton, Ohio, said, in an interview in Pittsburgh tho other day, that, of the 5,000 soldiers in the Dayton home,"fully SO percent, are sulTcrhig from heart disease in one form or another, due to the forced physical exertion of the campaigns." And he made tlir prediction that as large a pro portion of the athletes of to-day will ho i louiid twenty-five years from now to he victims of heart disease, resulting from the muscular strains that they force themselves to undergo. As for the likelihood of < xeroise to prolong life, it may be said that, according to the stitistics of M. do Solaiville, there are more people living in Prince to day who have passed the age of sixty t lian there are in England, the home of athletic sports. And there is probably no nation in Europe more adverse to muscular cultivation for its own sikc inn me rrcuen. v.<reai ai iwei.es die young, and a mortality list of Oxford rowing men pub'ished a few years ago showed tliat a comparatively small percentage of them lived cut the allotted lifetime. Dr. -lastrow has demonstrated in some very elaborate statistics that men of thought live, ou an average, three and a half years longer than men in the ordinary vocations of life, and nearly eight years longer than men of action, among whom are included the athletes. And it is a noteworthy fac t that women, who, until receut years, have taken no physical exercise at all, die of a more advanced ige than men. Hut doubtless their superiority in regard to tenure of life will come to an end if they follow the advice Dr. Hiehardson. who, in a lecture before the I a lies' Sanitary Association, of London, is re| orted to have 4'declared it esseiit a!, as a matter of principle, that eight hours a day should be devoted to exercise.''?[Providence Journal.

BEST WAX TO PUT ON X03EGLASSE9. As there has been shown to he a "best way" to boil an egg that everyone does i not know, so there is also a best way of ! putting on one's nose-glasses, provided one has como to that pass in age or iulirmity where there is a real uccessity for this supplementary sense. The way most persons put on their glasses, with thumb aud finger at side of both lenses and with elbows at right auglcs to the body, is neither the easiest nor the most graceful way. That is as follows: Taking the glasses in the left hand, slip the tips of the first and second fingers through the spriug aud theu separate them until the two lenses are far enough apart to slip easily over the bridge of the nose.

These fringes aro used to edge neckerchiefs and draperies on dresses. Bust-gray mohair is much used for traveling dresses. The jacket corsage opens on a white fl mnel shirt waist and is lined with chestnut brown silk. Poppy red makes a brilliant toilet for a garden fete and attracts general attention. The silk crepe was made with a small train in cliuging princess style. Dresses of faille or other close-woven silks have draperies edged with flat hands of lace. The collar, vest and sleeve trimmings arc of the same garniture. Red shoes, with patent-leather trimmings, are not much worn. They .iro plenty and attractive in the windows, but the ladies do not buy them to any great extent. Linen lawns are in great favor. Littlo trimming is required. Organdies arc trimmed profusely with lace, which is used in a great variety of forms and in white or black.

A "Washington special to the St. Louis G lobe- Dcm ucrat! say a: The American Consul at Jerusalem, Mr. Gillman, Bonds to the State Department an account of the recovery of the famous Pool of Dcthesdo. As is well known,' the liirUet Isruel has iu tbo past been considered as the site of the 13ethesda, but the excavations of the Algorino monks under the ruins iu the rear of tbo Crnsuder Church of St. Anno have gradually transferred opinion in favor of tlio latter locality. This was strengthened by the discovery of a rockhewn pool containing water beneath three succeefiivo structures. Subsequent excavations revealed the remains nf fu'A fiAro of Tien V4 v " w "I il?0 Ull/UCU tuc lower tier being iu the pool. The intelligent labors of tho monks who are in charge of tho property have been further rewarded by tho recent recovery of another pool containiug a good supply of water to the westward of that lirst discovered, the entire ngreeing with the descriptions of tho llothesda as given by tho fathers of tho Church and Christiau pilgrims and writors as early as the fourth century. The correspondence in number of the livo porches to those mentioned in tho Gospel of St. John will not escape notico. Steps cut in tho rock lead down into tho water. An ancient Christian church in ruins surmounts tho entire structuro. Tho remains of tho upper tier of porches extend above the pool at right angles from the north wall of the crypt beneath the church, in which the apso, at tho east end, though dilapidated, is still distinctly deilned. ( On clearing away tho debris that choked tho fifth 2'orch westward of tho apse alt these discoveries culminated in revealing the roraaiui of a painting cr fresco upon tho plaster of the wall in the rear. The lrosco represents an angol as if descending into and troubling the waters, which latter is depicted by conventional zigzag and* wavy lines of an olive-green, shaded with black, more suggestive of Egyptian hieroglyphics than of niodorn art, and finrrounding tho figure on every side. The right hand of tho angel was shown as uplifted, but this has been carefully destroyed, probably by tho Mosloms,' after their habit in tho early days of their power. So, also, the face of the angel, which has been battered so as to bo completely obliterated. The glory or nimbus above the head,! painted an orange yellow, still remains,' but little injured. The edge of the; pool appears to bo indicated by a broad, rod line, inclosing tho painting, and; having an occasional rectangular pro-r jection into tho water, perhaps repro-! sonting stops or tho piors for thei porches. On tho cast of this fifth,! barreled arch?tho wait extonding at, right angles?aro tho remains of another figure, also in fresco, much de-i faced, and supposed to represent thej Saviour. Above the hood, ovidontly intentionally mutilated, is a portion of the nimbus, and ia the lower outer corner of tho painting part of a bluo robe. . ' Strong; Man Tholr Ilreath. Mr. Raudolf announced that the lady would perform an act on the slack wire. Sho balanced herself on the wire and lipped back and forth, while the audionce looked on with that apathy and air of being half bored, which characterizes all shows which are thoroughly familiar to tho theater and circns patron. j All at once tho fair performer drew a few pins from tho bay window of her drets and drew that garment off, leaving her standing on one foot, clad .in au elaborate laco skirt. The audience awaked from its indifferenco, and the show becomes endowed with a now interest. - ? i l 1 1 JMore pins wero extracted uuu uver hor head went the skirt. The audience Itecame excited. Next the bus? dress iinprovor came oft. It had no longer any dress to improve, and its occupation was gone. The audience began to speculate as to where the disrobing process would ond, and a pistol shot or a dog light would not have served at that moment to distract its attontion. By this time the lady on the wiro had got down apparently to the snowy garment which as adapted to the male form is known as a shirt. The audience craned its neck, so to speak, and as the lady showed an intention of .removing even, that garment, strong men hold their breath in dismay, wonder, and curiosity, while the weak end modest ones covered their faces with their hands. Well, tho what d'ye call it came off, and?nothing more shocking was revealed than a haudsomo and very shapely young woman clad in tho regular tights and trunks that all well-regulated slack wire and trapeze artists are wont to wear.

"Tho two men looked hard at each other for a minute, and then Number Two asked,? " 'What's your name?' " 'Koouley?John ltoonley. What's yours ?' " 'Frank Roonley. I thought I knew you.
