Text: "The half uas not told me."?I
Eings x., 7.
This is the first sermon in a course of Sab"hath
morning sermons on ".My Recent Journey
Through tho Holy Land and Neighboring
Countries: AVh.it 1 Saw anil What I
Learned." Out of tho sixty-four millions of
our present American population and tho
millions of our past only about five thousand
have ever visited the Holy Land. Of all
those who cross to Europe less than five per
cent, ever get as far as Rome, ard less than
two per cent, ever get to Athens, and less
then a quarter of one per cent, ever get to
Palestine. Of the less than a quarter of one
per cent, who do go to the Holy Laud some
see nnthinc lint the tinTions insect* and the
filth of the Oriental cities, auri corao back
wishing they had never gone. 01 those who
Bee much o? interest and come home only a
small portion can tell what they have seen,
the tongue unable to roport the eye.
The rarity of a successful, intelligent and
baj.py journey through the Holy Land is
very marked, Put the time approaches when
a journey to Palestine will bo common.
Thousands will go where now there are
6cores. Two locomotives were recently sent
up from Joppa to Jerusalem, and milroads
are about to begin in Palestine* and the day
will come when The cry will be, "All out for
Jerusalem!" "Twenty minutes for breakfast
at Tiberias!" "Change ears for Tyre!"
' Grand Trunk Junction for Ninevah." "Alt
out for Damascus!" Meanwhile the wet locks
of the Atlantic Ocean and Adriatic and Mediterranean
Seas are being shorn,and not only
Is the voyage shortened, but after awhile,
without crossing the ocean, you or your children
will visit the Holy Laud. A company
of capitalists have gone up to Benring
Straits, where the American aud Asiatic
continents come within thirty-six miles of
meeting.
These capitalists or others wiil build a
bridge across these straits, for midway are
three islands called "TI19 Diomedes," and
the water is not deep and is never disturbed
with icebergs. Trains of cars will run frojn
Aiu:rica across that bridge aud on down
through Siberia, bringing under mora immediate
observation tue Russian outrages
against exiles and consequently abolishing
them; and there arc persons here to-dav,
who, without one qualm of sea-sickness, will
visit that wonderful land where the Christlike,
Abrahauiie, Mosaic, Davidic, Solo
monic and Herodic histories overlap each
other with such power that by tho time I
took my feet out of tho stirrups a: the close
of the journey I felt so wrung out with emotion
that it seemed nothing else could ever
absorb iny feelings again.
The chief hindrance for going to Palestine
with many is tho dreadful sea, and though I
have crossed it ten times it is more dreadful
every time, and I l'ully sympathize with what
was said one night when Mr. Beecher and I
went over to speak in New York at tho anniversary
of tho Seamen's Friend Society,
and the clergyman making tho opening
prayer quoted from St. John. "There shall
be no more sea," nial Mr. Beecher, seated beside
rae, in memory of a recent ocean voyage
said, "Amen; lam giad of that." By the
partial abolition of the Atlantic Ocean and
the putting down of rail tracks across every
couutry in all the world, the most sacred
land on earth will come under the observation
of so many people who will bo ready to
toll of what they saw that infidelity wifl bo
pronounced only another form of insanity,
for no honest man can visit the Holy Land
and remain an infidel.
mis i5U'ie irom wmcu 1 preacu nas a i most
fallen apart, for I read from it the most of
the events in it recorded on the very places
where they occurred. And some of the
leaves got wet as the waves dashed over our
boat on Lake Galilee, and tho book was
jostled in the saddle lags for many week?
but it is a new book to me, newer than any
book thut yesterday came out of any of our
great printing houses. All my life I had
heard of Palestine, and I had read about it,
* and talked about it, and preached about it,
and suug about it, and dreamed about it,
and prayed about it, uutil my anticipations
were piled upiuto something liko Himalayan
proportions, and yet I have to cry out, as
did the Queen of iSheba when she first visited
the Holy Land, "The half was not told
me."
In order to make tho more accurate ar d
vivid.a book I have been writing, a life of
Christ, entitled "From Manger to Throne," I
left home last October, and on the last night
of November we were walking tho decks of
the Senegal, a Mediterranean steamer. It
was a ship of immense proportions. There
were but few passengers, for it is generally
rough at that tirno of year, nnd pleasurists
are not apt to be voyagers there and then.
The stars were all out that night. Those armies
of light seemed to havo had their shields
notvlv hnrnichhfl Wa vrolL-twl tha rwiliclioH
deck. Not much was said, for in all our
hearts was the dominant word "to-morrow."
Somehow the Acropolis, which a few days
before had thrilled us at Athens, now in our
minds lessened in the height of its columns
and the glory of its temples. And the Egyptian
pyramids in our memory lessened their
wonders ot obsolete masonry, and the Coliseum
of Rome was not so vast a ruin as it a
few weeks before had seemed to be.
And all that we had seen and heari
dwindled in importance, for to-morrow, tomorrow
we shall sec the Holy Land. "Captain,
what, time will wo come In sight of
Palestine?" "Well," he said, "if tho wind
and sea remain as they are.about daybreak."
Never was I so impatient for a night to
pass. I could not see much use for that
night, anj'how. I pulled aside the curtain
from the porthole of my stateroom, so that
the first hint of dawn would waken me. But
St was a useless precaution. Sleep was
among the impossibilities. Who could be so
6tupid as to slumber when any moment there
might start out within sight of the ship the
land where the most stupendous scenes of ail
time and all eternity were enacted?laud of
ruin and redemption, land where was fought
the battle that ma le our 1. vven possible,
land of Godfrey and Saladin, of Joshua and
Jesus?
; Will the night ever be gone? Yes, it is
fn-ntvinrr ifnrl tli.i Vtririvrtn tit*.fa
is something like a bank of clouds, and as a
watchman paces the deck I say to him,
"What is that out yonder!*" "That inland,
sir," said the sailor. "The land!" I cried, and
6oon all our friends wore arrou^eil from sleep
wnd the shore began more clearlv to reveal
itself. With roar an l rattle anil bang the
anchor dropped in the roadstead a half mile
from land, for though Joppu is the only harbor
of Palestine it is the worst harbor on nil
the coasts. Sometimes for weeks no shins
stop there. Between rocks about seventyfive
feet apart a small boat must take the
passengers ashore. The depths ar.* strewn
(With the skeletons of those who have attempted
to land or attempted to embark.
Twenty-seven pilgrims perished with ?m
Icrash of a boat aguinst the rocks. Whole
fleets of Crusaders, of Romans, of Syrians,
of Egyptians have gene to splinters there. A
writer eight htindr?-' ' cars ago said he stood
on the beach in a storm at Joppa, and out of
thirty ships all but seven went to pieces on
the r.jcks, and a thousand of the dead were
wasucu asnore.
Strange that with n f-'w blasts of powder
like that which shattered our American Hell
Gate those rocks have riot been uprooted and
the way cleared, so that great ships, instead
of anchoring far out from land, might sweep
up to the wharf for passengers and freight.
Hut you must remcmeber that land is under
the Turk, and what the Turk touches he
withers. Mohammedanism is against easy
wharves, ngainst steamers, against rail
trains, ngainst printing presses, against civilization.
Darkness is always opposed to
light. The owl hates tho morn "I^eave
t hose rocks where they are," practically cries
tho Turkish Government; "wo want no people
of other religions and other habits to
land there; if the salt seas wash over them let
it be a warning to other invaders;away with
your nineteenth century, with its free
thought and its modern inventions." That
Turkish Government ought to be blotted
from tho face of the earth, and it will be.
Of many of the inhabitants ol' Palestine I
asked the question, "Has the Sultan of Turkey
ever been hereV Answer, "No." "Why
don't ho come, when it be'ongs to his dominion?"
And, after the man interrogate I
looked this way and that, so as to know bo
fc would not be lvnorteJ, tho nn-wer would inj|flk
variably be. "He dare not come." I believed
it. If the Sultan of Turkey attempted to
B* visit Jerusalem he would never get back
W again. All Palestine hates him. I saw lrin go
? to the mosque for prayer? in bis own city of
c "
Constantinople, and saw seven thousand
armed men riding out to protect him. Expensive
prayers! Of course that Government
wants no bettor harbor at Joppa. May Go t
remove that curse i?f nations, t Ji.it- obi hap of
the centuries, the Turkish Government! For
its everlasting insult to Go I nnl worn in lot
itporisli! Anrl so those rocks at the harbor
remain the jaws of repeated destruction.
As we descended thr narrow steps at tin
sldo of tho ship we beard the clamor and
quarrel and swearing fifteen or sixteen
different raoes of mou of nil feature?, and
nil colors and all vernaculars; nil different in
nppearauce, but nil r.liko in desire to pet our
baggage and ourselves ot exorbitant prices.
Twenty boats and only ten passengers to go
nshcre. Tho man having charge of us pushes
aside some, and strikes with a heavy stick
others, and by violences that would not bo
tolerated in our country, lr.it which seem to
d? cne omj*manner or making any impression
there, clears our way into one of tho
boata, which heads for tho shore. Wo ura
within fifteen minutes of tho Christ inn i.
Now wc hear shouting from tho beach, and
in live minutes wo will be lauded. Tho prow
of the boat is caught by men who wade cut
to help us in.
We aro tremulous with suppressed excitement,
our breath is quick, and from the side
of the boat we spring to tlie shore, and Sunday
morniu.r, December 1, 1$r!\ about eight
o clock, our feet touch rn.ostme. forever
tome mil niino will thnt day nnd hour ho
commemorate I for that pre-eminent mercy.
Let it be mentioned in prayer by my children
an l children's children after wo are
gone, that morning wo were permitted to
enter that land xuid g^zo upon those hoiv
hills and feel the emotions that rise and fall
and weep and laugh and sing and triumph at
such a disembarkation.
On tbo back of tho hills one hundred and
fifty foot high Joppa is lifted toward tho
skies. It is as picturesque as it is quaint, an d
as much unlike nny city we hnve over seen,
as though it were built in that star Mars,
where a few nights ago this very September
astronomers,through unparalleled telescopes,
saw a snow storm raging. Kow gla l we were
to be iu Joppa t Why, this is the city where
Dorcas, that queen of tho needle, lived and
died and was resurrected. You remember
that the poor pernio came around the deed
body of this benefactress, and brought specimens
of her kind needlework and said:
"Dorcas made this," "Dorcas sewed that,"
"Dorcas cut nnd fitted this," "Dorcas
hemmed that."
According to Ligblfoot, the commentator,
they laid her out in state in a public room,
and the poor wruug their hands and cried
and sent for Pctpr, who performed a miracle
by which the good woman came back to life
and resumed her benefactions. An especial
resurrection day for one woman! She was
the mo le! by which many women of our day
have fashioned their lives, and at the first
blast of the horn of wintry tempest there appear
ten thousand Dorcases?Doroas"s of |
Brooklyn. Dorcases of New York, Dorcases
of London, Dorcases of nil the neighborhoods
and towns and cit'esof Christendom?just as
good as tho Dorcas of Joppa which I visited.
Thank Cod for tho ever increasing skill and
sharpness and speed and generosity of Dcrcas's
needle.
"What is that, man doing?" I said to the
dragoman in the streets of Joppa. "Oh, lie
is carrying his bod." Multitudes of people
sIppii out of door.-, nnd that is the wnv so
many iu those lauds become blind. It is from
the dew of the night foiling on thecyelicR As
a result ot' this, "in Eg.ipt every twentieth
person is totally blind. In Oriental lauds
the h?d is made of a thin, small mattress. a
blanket and a pillow, and when the man risers
in toe morning ho just ties up the three into
a bundle and shoulders it and takes it away.
It was to that, the Saviour referre i w'usu He
said to tin sick man: "Take up thy be 1 and
walk." An American couch or an Eng-ish
couch would require at least four men to
carry It, but one Uriental can easily manage
his slumber equipment.
Br.t I inhale some of the odors of the largo '
tanueries around Joppa. It is there to this j
day, s prosperous business, this tanning of
.hides. Aud that reminds mo of Simon, tho
tanner, who live.'1 at Joppa and was tho host
of Peter, tho apov v>. 1* suppose the olfactories
of Peter were as easily lnsulte 1 by the
odors of a tannery as others. But the Bibla
says, "He lodged with ono Simon, tho tan- i
ner."1 People who go out to do reformatory <
and missionary and Christian work must not i
bo too sensitive. Simon no doubt brought
to his homestead every night tho malodors ?
of the calfskins and ox hides in his tannery, '
but Peter lodged ia that home, not only be- 1
cause ho may not have been invited to the '
houses of merchant princes, surrounded by I
redolent gardens, but to teach all men and '
womeu engaged in trying to make the world i
better that thev must not bo squeamish and '
fastidious and finical and over particular in
doing tho work of the world.
The church of God is dying of fastidiousness.
We cry over tho sufferings of tho
world in hundred dollar pocket handkerchief^
and then put a cent in tho poor l?ox.
There are many willing to do Christian work
among the cleanly, and the refined, and the
elegant, and tho educated, but excuse them
jfrom taking a loaf of bread down a dirty alle",
excuso them from teaching a mission
school among the uncombed and the unwashed,
excuse thorn from touching the hand of
one whoso finger nails aro in mourning for
^departed soap. Such rcligiouJ precisionists
can toil in atmospheres ladeu with honeysuckle
and rosemary, but not in air float ing
up from the malodorous vats. No, no, no!
Excuso them from living with onoSimoD.the
tanner.
During the last war there wero in Virginia
some sixty or seventy wounded soldiers in a
barn, on the second floor, so near tho roof
that the heat of the August sun was almost
insupportable. The men were dying from
sheer exhaustion and suffocation. A distinguished
member of the Christian commission
said to the nurse who stood there, "Wash the
faces and feet of these men and it wili revive
them." "No," said the nurse, "Ididn'tcome
Into tbo army to wash anybody's feet."
"Well," said the distinguished memberof tho '
commission, "bring me water and a towel: I
will be very glad to wash their feet." One
was the spirit of the devil, the other the
spirit of Christ.
But reference to Pctor reminds me that we
must go to tho housetop in Jopoa where ho
was taught the democracy of religion. That
was about the queerest t ling that ever happened.
On oar way \ip to that housetop wo (
passed an old well where the great stones
were worn deep with tlio ropes of the buckets.
and it must bo a well many centuries
old. and 1 think Peter drank out of it. Four
or five goat or calfskins filled with water lay ,
about the yard. We soon got up the steps
and o;n the housetop. It was in such a place
in Joppa that Peter one noon while he was | j
waiting for dinner had a hungry fit and ;
fainted away, and hnd a vision or dream or
trance. I said to my family and friends on J
that housetop, "Listen while I read about J
what happened here." And opening the :
Bible we had the whole story.
It seems that Peter 011 the housetop
dreamed that a great blanket was let down 8
out of h'*avea, and in it were sheep and goats s
and cattle and mules and pigeons and buz- J
zards and snakes and all manner of creatures '
that fly t le air, or walk the field, or crawl '
the earth, and in the dream a voice told him '
us uo vvus ivur^yy aim lit* miu, iuuu*
not eat things unclean." Three times lio 1
dream e 1 it . There was then heard a knock- 1
iugatthe gate of the house on the top of J
which Peter lav in a trance, and three men j
asked, "Is Pet-r here?" Peter, while yet 1
wondering what his dreatn meant, descends n
\
the stairs and meets tteso strangers at t he p
gate, and they tell him that a good man by r
the name of Cornelius, in the city of Cu?sarea, c
has also had a dream and has sent them for p
Peter and to ask him to come and preach. fl
At that call Peter left Joppn for Ctesarea. j
The dream ho had just hail prepared him to j,
preach, for Peter learned by it to rej'ict no g
people as unclean, an l whereas he previously p
thought lie must preach only to the Jews,
now he goes to preach to the Gentiles, who
were considered unclean. j.
Notice how the two dreams meet?Peter's
dream ou the housetop, Cornelius dream at p
Ctesarea. So I have noticed providences t
meet, distant events meet, dreams meet, v
Every dream is hunting up some other dream, t
and every event is searching for soma other c
event, fn t'ao Fifteenth century (141*2) the i
great event was the discovery of America, o
The art of printing, born in the samo century, h
goes out to meet that discovery and make j
the New World au intelligent world. The n
Declaration of Independence, announcing ?
equal rights, meets Robert Burns's
A in ui'i a man for a' that. n
Tho United States was getting too large to n
be managed by oue Government, and tele- K
praphv-wasinvented to compress within an 0
hour the whole continent. Armies in the 8
Civil War wore to be fitted out with clothing, v
and the sewing machine invention came out
to make it possible. Immense farming acreage
is presented in this country, etough to
support millions of our native born and u
raillwns of loreigners; but the t l 1 style of ]
plow and scythe and reaper and thresher a
cannot do tho work, niri there como steam ,
plows, steam harrows, steam reapers, steam I
rakes, steam threshers, uud the work is accomplished.
The forests of the earth fail to '
afTord sufficient fiiel, uud so the coal mines '
surrender a sufficiency. The cotton crops
were luxuriant, but of comparatively little
value, for they could not be managed; and !
so, at just the right time. Hargreaves cama
with his invention of the spinning jenny, i
then Arkwright with his roller, and Whitney I
with bis cotton gin. The world, after pot- !
tering along with tallow caudles and whalo I
oil, was crying for better light and more of I
it, and the hill of Pennsylvania poured out I
rivers of oil, and kerosene illumined the na- j
t ons. But the oil wells began to fail, and j
then tho electric light comes forth to turn
night iuto day.
So all events aro woven together, and the
world is magnificently governed, because it i
is divinely governed. Wo criticise things 1
and think the 'divine machinery is going |
wrong, and put our fingers amid tbo wheels
only to get them crushed. But I say, hands
off! Things aro coming out gloriously. Cornelius
may be in Ciesarca, and Peter in
Joppa, but their dreams meet. It is one
hand that is managing tho world, and that is
God's band; and one mind that is planniug
all things for good, aud that 1> Goers mind: *
and one heart that, is filled with love ana J
pardon aud sympathy, and that is God's
'""" i Hova tnifch in Ilini. Fret about notli- ,
rig. Things are not at loose ends. There !
are no accidents. All will come out right in
your history and in the world. As you aro !
wahing from one dream up stairs an ex- '
planatory dream will bo knockiug at the gate
down stairs.
Standing hero in Joppa I remember that
whera we this morning disembarked the
prophet Jonah embarked. For tho first time
in my life I fully understood that story, j
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but the |
prophet declined that call and camo hero to (
Joppa. I was for weeks, while in the Holy j
Land, consulting with tourist companies as !
to how I could take Nineveh in my'journov. |
They did not encourage the undertaking. It ,
is a most tedious ride to Nineveh amid a '
deserc. Now I see an additional reason why j
Jonah diil not want to go to Niuoveh. Ho 1
not only revolted because it was u long way j
and tough, and bandit infested, so he camo !
here to Joppa and took ship. But, alas, for J
the disastrous voj-age! Ho'paid his full fare i
for the whole voyage, but tho ship company
did not fill their part oi' the contract. To
this day they havo not paid back that passage
money. Why people should doubt the
story of Jonah anil tho whale is more of a
mystery than tho Bible event itself. I do
not need the fact that Pliny, the historian,
records that tho skeleton o? a whale fortv
feet long, and with n hide a foot and a half
thick, was brought from Joppa to Rome..
The event recorded in the book of Jonah
has occurred a thousand times. Tho Lord
always has y. whale outside tho hnbor for n
man who starts in the wrong direction. Recreant
Jonah! I do not wonder that even tho
whale was s ck of him. This prophet was
put in the Bib'.e not as an example, but as a
warning, because the world not only needs
lighthouses, but buoys, to show where the
rocks are. Tho Bi ale story of him euds by
showing the prophet ilia fit of the sulks. He
-J Mn-icnnt' r1r*;f.mv?rJ
was juan ucwuuoc i.?uiv?vu ?,
and then he went out to pout, an I sat under
a big leaf, using it for snade from the tropical
sun. and when a worm disturbed tllat
leaf, aud it withered, and the sun smote
Jouah. he llew into a great ratfe, and said:
"It is netttrfor nio to die than to live." A
prophet in a rage because he had lost his
umbrella 1 Beware of petulance!
But stauding here on the housetop at Joppa,
I look off upon the sands near the beach,
and I almost expected to lind them crimsoned
and incarnadined. But no; the rains
long ago washed away tbo last sign of the
Napoleonic massacre. Napoleon was marching
on through the coasts. He had here at
Joppa four "thousand AJbauians, who had
been surrendered as prisoners of war, and
under a promise of protection. What shall
he do with thorn? ft will be impossible for (
him to take them along, and he cannot afford
to leave soldiers enough to guard them from
escape. It will not be difficult for the man
who broke the heart of lovely Josephine, and
who, when asked if the great losses of life in
his battles were not too dear a price to pay
for his victories, shrugged his shoulders
mirthfully and said, "You must break the
?ggs if you want to make an omelet''?I say
it will not bo difficult for him to decide.
The prisoners of war by his order are taken
>ut. on tbo sands and put to death?one thou- !
>atul of them, two thousand of them, three
thousand of them, four thousand of them,
massacred. A.,i th;> blood pours down into
the sea, the red of thoono mingling with the
blue of the other, and making an awful
maroon which neither God nor nation can
ver forget. Ye who are fond of vivid contrasts
put the two scenes of Joppa side by
side. Dorcas with her needle, and tho immortal
butcher with hin knife.
But standing on this Joppa house top I
ookoffon the Mediterranean, and'what is j
that strange sight I see? Tho waters are
slack, seemingly for miles. There seems to I
* J- .it 1 ^ I
jo u great multitude 01 iugs lasioncu w- .
iothcr. Oil. .yes, it if a great raft of timbers,
riiey aro cedars of Lebanon, which King
Hiram is furnishiug King Solomon in ex- t
:hongo for 20,000 men ures of wheat, '20,000 I
baths of oil and 20,000 baths of wine. These j
:edars have been cut down and trimmed in
:bo mountains of Lebanon by tho 70,000 axnen
engaged there, and with great withes
?nd iron bolts aro fastened together,and they
ire floating down to Jcppa to be taken across
die land for Salomon's temple, now building j
it Jerusalem, for we have lost our hold of
die Nineteenth century aud aro clear back iu
t ie ages.
The rafts of cedar are guided into what is
failed the Moon Pool, an old harbor south
jl'Joppa, now filled with sand aud useless.
With long nikes the timber is pushed this
tvay and that in the water, then with divers
and manv a loud, long "Io, heave!" as the
carters get their shoulder under the great
weight, the timber is fastened to the wagons
and the lowing oxen are yoked to the
load, aud tho procession of teams moves on
with crack of whip and drawled out words
which, translated, I suppose would correspond
with tho "Whoa. "haw, gee!" of modern
teamsters, toward Jerusalem, which is
thirty miles away over mountainous distances
which for huudreds of years defied
ill engineering. And those rough cedars
shall become carved pillars and beautiful
ilt&rs, and rounded baunisters, and trucjrie.l
panels, and sublime ceiling, and ex
luisite harps and kingly chariots.
As tho wagon train moves out from Joppa
)ver the plain of Sharon toward Jerusalem I
say to myself, what vast numbers of peoplo
telped build that tcinple of Solomon, and
ivhat vast numbers of neople are now engaged
in building the wider, higher, grander
:omplo of righteousness rising In 1 he earthJur
Christian ancestry toiled at it, amid
uveat and tears, and hundreds of the generaions
of the good, and tho long train of
Jbristiou workers still moves on; and us in
ho construction of .Solomon's temple some
lewod with the ax in the far away Lebanon,
uid some drovo a wedge, and some twisted
i withe, and some trod the wet and slippery
afts ou tho sea, and some yoked
he ox, and some pulled at tho load,
ind some shoved the plan?, and some
itted the joints, anl some heaved
ip the rafters, but all helped build tlie tcm- 1
lie, though soine of these never saw it, so 1
low letns all put our hands, and out* suoul- j
lers, and our hearts to tho work of building
he temple of righteousness, which is to till
ho earth; and one will bind u wound, nnd
mother will wipe away a tear, nn l nnothei
vill teach a class, and another will speak the
ncouraging word, and all of us will be
eady to pull and lift, nnd in sum? way help
in the work until tho millenial morn shall
pld tho pinnacle of that finished temple, an 1
it its shining gates the world shall put down
ts last burden, and in its lavers wash o.T its
aststrain, and at its altars tho last wanderer
hall kneel. At the dedication of that tern- <
do all tho armies of earth and heaven will j
'shoulder arms" and "present ar.nV an I j

ONE ON BILLY FLORENCE.
A. Joke ttiut Wai Played on tlio Genial
Actor.
"While poker is considered n national
game I must confess," said Billy
Florence, the actor, "that I have seen
it played chiefly in an international
way, i. e., on board British steamships
carrying American passengers. I only
play cards enroute to Europo to pass
away time?nothing else, and then I do
not gamble. Once, somo years ago, I
was playing a theatrical engagement in
Louisville, Ky., and I was invited to
visit and participate in a late supper
aftor the performance was over. Among
those who were to be at a supper was
Henry Watterson. The theatrical performance
was very long and it was near
midnight when I reached the bachelor
apartments. I had no sooner arrived
than I noticed some little excitement
among the gentleraon present. It
seems that a game of draw had ended
and a count was being made of moneys.
I had no alternative but to wait developments,
and thov came soon enough. A
big dispute arose across the table, and
? :?i i. \\7-ii .. ?... i,;? f,.?f
JU tux liioiuub uiiuifluu wuo uu uio ioov,
pistol in hand, and trying to aim at bis
antagonist, a well-known gentleman. I
knew that blood was going to be shed
right tuore, so I jumped up and threw
my arms around the editor. Others
caught his arm and kept it up so if the
pistol were discharged it would only
damage the ceiling. The other gentleman
was ferocious and, although ke was
held by strong men, I thought he would
break loose every second and fire right
into us. Great beads of perspiration
stood out upon my forehead. I pleaded
with the Kentuckian not to shoot; that
he would regretit. The more I pleaded
and tried to keop his pistol arm up tlio
more he attempted to break away.
Every instant I expected to hear the
crack, crnck of revolvers and to see the
reeling form of a man perforated with a
largo bullet. I pictured tho direful
consequences and tho blamo. The latter
would partially, at least, rest upon
me, because I was tho guest of the
evening and the gathering was in my
honor. In our struggle to keep the two
meu apart tables were overturned,
chairs wore knocked down and the
money on tbe lable somehow disappeared
like magic. Finally I caught
Watterson's pistol iiji my hand; and
then tho lamentable truth flashod like
an electric shock through mo, to-wit: I
was being guyed and the whole fight
was concocted to fool me. The pistol
was nothing but a bootjack, one that is
small and when folded resembles tbe
ebape of a pistol. I was completely
taken in, and I need scarcely say that
the 'smiles' were on me. That was the
most exciting game of poker that I ever
indulged in."

minx continues healthy there is a probability
of her swolling the ranks ?fthe
fair sex when she grows up. My wife
says she is a little dear, aud I believe
her. in fact, she is altogether too dear.
She is. like all other babies, the prettiest
baby in the world, according to her
mother, though 1 confess she struck ine
as painfully plain in features. It is tho
most helpless looking apology for a
human being I evor saw. It can't talk
worth a cent, though my wife maintains
an imaginary conversation with it all
day long and far into the recesses of the
night. Any kind of a hideous squall
tho baby exudes is readily interpreted
by my wife to mean something intensely
witty or profoundly interesting. Fortunately
I am ignorant of the lnnguage ?
English or United States is good
euough for me. I think it would be a
great convenience to business men if j
babies could be born when they ate
about four years old, about which time
it begins to be safe for men to bandlo
them. Wo should thus avoid much
noise aud nonsense, not to speak of
sitting up nights in the capacity of
deputy-assistant nurse. The Legislature
ought to consider this quostion.
Not knowing anything about babies,
and being somewhat proud of my igno
ranee, I liail expected to be presented
with oiio of those ready-mruTo artful
little toddlers who cling to the lowei
fringe oi their mother's skirts in the
park, stare at strangers with big, round,
blue eyes, and lisp in wonder, "I ia
papn's girl," should anybody make inquiries
as to their identity. I had anticipated
a perfectly equipped, neatly
dressed little girl with hair in curls,
whoso interesting prattle would cheer
up my Spirits when I reached home in
the evening, but when I saw that diminutive,
apopletic looking aggregation
of helplessness, lying in stalo upon e
square foot of canton flannel, the visionary
picture which I had framed in
my mind faded away like the thick end
of a beautiful dream.
