EYES OPENED DR, TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SERMON. What May Be Seen When the Scales Fall From Our Eyes. TEXr: "And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man."-IL Kings vi,17. One morning in Dothan a young theologi. cal student was scared by fding himself and Elisha, the prophet, upon whom he waited, surroundedby a whole army of enemies. But venerable Elisha was not scared at all, be cause he saw the mountains full of defense for him, in chariots made out of fire, wheels of fire, dashboard of fire and cushions of fire, drawn by horses with nostrils of fire, and manes of fire, and haunchesof fire, and hoofs of fire-a supernatural appearance that could not be seen with the natural eye. So the old minister prayed that the young minister might see them also, and the prayer was an swered, and the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he also saw the fiery proces sion, looking somewhat, I suppose, like the Adirondacks or the Aleghames in this au tumnal resplendence. Many young men, standing among the most tremendous realities, have their eyes half shut or entirely closed. May God grant that my sermon may open wide your eyes to your safety, your opportunity and your des tmny. A mighty defense for a young man is a good home. Some of my hearers look back with tender satisfaction to their early home. It may have been rude and rustic, hidden among the hills, and architect or upholsterer naver planned or adorned it. But all the fresco on princely walls never looked so en ticing to you as those rough hewn rafters. You can think of no park or arbor of trees planted on fashionable country seat so at tractive as the plain brook that ran in front of the old farmhouses and sang under the weeing willows. No barred gateway, ado with statue of bronze, and swung open by obsequious porter in full dress, has half the glory of the swing gate. Many of you have a second dwelling place, your adopted home, that also is sacred forever. There you built the first family altar. There Your children were born. All those trees you planted. That room is solemn, blecause once m it, over the hot pillow, flapped the wing of death. Under that roof you expect when your work is done to lie down and die. You try with many words to tell the excellency of the plee, but you fail. There is only one word in the language that can describe your maning It is home. NowI declare that a young man is com paratively safe who goes out into the world with a charm like this upon him. The mem ory of parental solicitude, watching, plan ningandpraying, will be to him a shield and a shelter. I never knew a man faithful both to his early and adopted home, who at the same time was given over to any gross form of dissipation or wickedness. He who seeks his enjoyment chiefly from outside associa tion, rather than from the more quiet and impresuming pleasures of which I have R3692, may besuspectei to be on the broad reed to ruin. Absalom despised his father's house, and you know his history of sin and his death of shame. If you seem unneces sarily isolated from your kindredand former *aciates, is there not some room that you can call your own? Into it gather books and pictures and a harp. Have a portrait over the mantel. Make ungodly mirth stand back from the threshold. Consecrate some spot with the of prayer. By the memory of other daya father's counsel and a mother's -love, and a sister's confidence, call it home. Another defense for a young man is indus trious habit. Many young men, in starting upon life in this age, expect to make their: way through the. world by the use of their wits rather than the toil of their hands. A child now goes to the city and fails twice be fore he is as old as his father was when he first saw the spires of the great town. Sit tinin some office rented at $1,000 a year, hen waiting for the bank to declare its divi dend, or goes into the market exnecting be fore night tube made rich by the i-ushing up of the stocks. But luck seemed so dull here solved on some other tack. Perhaps he bor rows from his employer's money drawer, and forgets to put it back. or for merely the purpose of ;mproving his Penmanship makes a Dopplate of amerchant ssignature. Never inall is right in trade. In some dark 'ih there may come in his dreams a vision of Backwell's Island, or of Sing Sing, but it soon vanishes. In ashort time he will be ready to retire from the bus world, and amid his flocks and herds cuture the domestic virtues. Then those young men who once were his schoolmnates, and knew no better than to engage in honest work, will come with their ox teams to draw him logs' and with their hard ands~ help heave up his castle. This is no fancy picture. Itis every day life. I should not wonder if there were some rotten beams in that beautiful palace. I should not wonder if dire sicknesses should smite through the .young man, or if God should pour into ins cup of life a draught' that would thrill him with unbearable agony. Ishould not wonder if his children should become to him a living curse, making his home a pest and a disgrace. I should not wonder if he goes to a miserable grave, and; beyond itinto the gnahing of teeth. The y thre i togenu ine secess except through toil eithr of the head or hand. At the battle of Crecy in 14 tbe Prince of Wales, finding himself heavily pressed by the enemy, sent word to his father for help. The father, watching the battle from a windmill and seeing that his son was not wounded and could gain the day ifhe would, sent word: "-No: Iwill not come. Let the boy win his spurs, for, if Ged will, 1 desire that this dar be his with all its honors." Young m-m, finht your own battle all through and you shall have the victory. Oh, it is a battle worth fighting. Two monarchs of old fought a duel, Charles V. and Francis, and the stakes were king doms-Milan and Burgundy. You figh wi sin and the stakes are heaven andhel Do not get the fatal idea that you are a genius, and that therefore there is no need of close application. It is here where multi tudes fail. The great curse of this age is the gemiuses, men with enormous self conceit and egotism, and nothing else. I had rather be amox than an eagle; plain, and plodding,and useful, rather than high flying and godfor nothing but to pick out the eyesof carcasses. Extraordinary capacity without use is extra ordinary' failure. There is no ho~ for that who begins his life resolve to live by hswits, for the probabilit is he has not any. it was not safe for A even in his unfallen state, to have nothing to do, and, therefore, God cm nddhim to be a farmer and horticulturist. He was to dress the -garden and keep it, and had he and his wife obeyed the divmne injunction and been at work, they would not have been sauntering under theI tesadhungem after that fruit which destoyedthem ther poteriy ;proof postie for all ages to come that thowe who donot attend to their business are sure to get into mischief. I do not know that the prod igal ini Scripture would ever have been re caimedh not given up his idle habits and gone to feeding swine for a living. " Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and fie wise, which, having no overseer ox guid, poviethher food in the summer and Cteehher meat in the harvest." The vidoes not so often attack the man who is busy with the pen, and the book, and the trowel, and the saw, and the hammer. He is afraid of thoqe weapons. But woe to that mnatuwhom this roaring~ lion meets with his hands in his pockets. Do not demand that your toll always be elegant, and cleanly and refined. There is a certain amount of drudgery through whichi we must all pass, whatever be our occupation. Again, profound respect for the Sabbath will be to the young man a powerfulpreserv ative agis evil. God has thrust into the tol n fatigue of life a recreative day, when the soulis esmeially to be fed. It isno new fangled notion of a wild brained reformer, but an institution established at the beg-in ning. God has made natural and mnorallaws so harmonious that the body as well as the soul demands this institution. Our bodies are seven day clocks, that must be wound un as often as that, or they will run down. Failure must come sooner or later to the man who breaks the Sabbath. Inspiration hasl called it the Lord's day, and he who devotes it to the world is guilty of robbery. o will not let the sin go unpunished, either in this world or the world to come. While the divine frown must rest upon him who tramples upon this statute, Giod's special favor will be upon that young man who scrupuously observes it. This day, urpry osrved, will throw a hallowed in ueoover all the week. The song and ser mon and sanctuary will hold back from pre sumptuous sins. That young man who begins the duties of life with either secret or open disrespect of the holy day, I venture to prophesy, will meet with no permanent suc cesses. God's curse will fall u n his ship. his store, his office, his studio, body and his soul. The wyo the wicked he turneth upside down. In one of the old fables it was said that a wonderful child was born in Bag dad and a magician could hear his footsteps 6,030 miles away. But I can hear in the foot step of that young man, on his way to the house of worship this morning, step not only of a lifetime of usefulness, but the coming step of eternal joys of heaven yet millions of miles away. There are magnificent possibilities before each of you young men of the stout hears, and the buoyant step and the bounding spirit. I would marshal you for grand achievement. God now provides for you the fleet and the armor and the fortifications. Who is on the Lord's side? The captain of the zouaves in ancient times, to enrourage them against the immense odds on the side of their enemies, said: "Come. my men, look these fellows in the face. They are 6,000, you are 300. Surely the match is even." That speech gave them the victory. Be not, my hearer, dismayed at any time b '. , voms an immense odds against you. Is an -ne, is want of education. are men, are devils against you? Though the multitudes of earth and hell confront you. s:aud up to the charge. With 1,001.000 against you the match is just even. Nay, you have a decided advantage. If G d be for us, who can be against us? Thus protected, you need not spend much time in answering your assail ants. Many years ago word came to me that two impostors, as temporance lecturers, had been speaking in Ohio in various places and giv ing their experience, and they told their audience that they had long becu intimate with me and had Lecone drnn':ards by dining at my table, where I always hal liquors of all sorts. Indignant to the last degree I went down to Patrick Campball. chief of Brooklyn police, saying I was going to start that night to Ohio to have these vil lians arrested, and I wanted him to tell me how to make the arrest. He smiled and sad: "Do not waste your time by chas ing these men. Go home and do your work, and they can do you no harm." "I took his counsel and all was well. Long ago I made up my mind that if one will put his trust in God and be faithful to duty he need not fear any evil. Have God on your side, young man, and all t:i combined forces of earth and hell can do no damage. And this leads me to say that the mightiest of all defense for a young man is the posses sion of thorounh religious principle. Nothing can take the p.ace of it.. He may have man ners that would put to shame the graceful ness and courtesy of a Lord Chesterfield. For eign la:iguages may drop from his tongue. He may be able to discuss literatures and laws and foreign customs. He may wield a pen of unequaled pchsh and power. $isquick ness and tact may qualify him for the high est salary of the counting house. He may be as sharp as Herod and as strong as Samson, with as fine locks as those which hung Absa lom, still he is not safe from contamina tion. The more elegant his manner, and the more fascinating his dress, the more peil. Satan does not care much for the allegiance of a coward and illiterate being. He cannot bring him into efficient service. Bat he loves to storm that castle of character which has in it the most spoils and treasures. It was not some crazy craft creeping along the coast with a valueless cargo that the pirate at-. tacked, but the ship, full winged and flagged, plying between great ports, carrying its million of suecie. The more your natural and acquired accomplishments. the .more need of the religion of Jesus. That does not cut in upon or hack up any smoothness of disposition or behavior. It gives symmetry it arrests that in the soul which ought to be arrested, and propels that which ought to be propellic It fills up the gullevs. It elevates and transforms. When the Holy Spirit -impresses the image of God on the heart he does not spoil the canvas. If in all the multitudes of young men upon whom re ligion has acted you could find one nature that had been the least damaged, I would yield this proposition, You may now have enough strength of character to repel the various temptations to gross wickedness which assail you, but I do not know in what strait you may be thrust at some future time. Noth:ng short of the grace of the cross may then be able to deliver you from the lions. You are not meeker than Moses, nor holier than David, nor more pa tient than Job, and you ought not to consider yourself invulnerable. You may have some weak point of character that you have never discovered, and in some hour when you are assaulted the Philistines will be upon thee, Samson. Trust not in your ood habits, or your early training, or your pride of character; nothing short f the arm of Almighty God will b3 sufficient to uphold you. You look forward to the world sometimes witha chilling despondency. Cheer up! I will tell you how you all may make a fortune. "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will be added unto you." I know you do not want to be mean in this matter. Give God the freshness of your life. You will not have the heart to drink down the brimming cup of life and then pour the dreg's on God's atar. To a Saviour so infinitely generous you have not the heart to act like that. That is not brave, that is not honorable, that is not manly. Your geatest want in all the world isanewheart. InGod's name I tell you that. And the Blessed Spirit presses through the solemnities and privi leges of this holy hour. Fut the cup of life etenal to your thirsty lips. Thrust it not back. Mercy offers it, bleeding mercy, long sffering mercy. Reject all other friend ships; be ungrateful for all other kindness, p oerecreant to all other bargains, but *e~s Gods love for your immortal soul ant you do that. I would like to see some of you this hour press out of the ranks of the world and lay your c.onquered spirit at the feet of Jesus. I'his hour is no wandering vagabond stagger ing over the earth; it is a winged messenger of the skies whispering mercy to thy soul. ife is smooth now, but after a while it may be rough. wild and precipitate. The:-e comes a crisis in the history of every man. We eldom understand that turnin;g point until t is far past. The road of life is forked and read on two signboards: " This is the way o happiness," " This is the way to ruin. EHow apt are we to pass the forks of the road without thinking whether it comes out at the oor of bliss or the gates of darkness. Many years ago I stood on the anniversary platform with aminister of Christ who made this remarkable statement: "Thirty years ago two young men started ut in the evening to attend the Prk Theatre, New York, where a p lay was to be acted in which the cause of religion was to be placed in a ridiculous and hypocritical light. They ame to the steps. The consciences of both sote them. One started to go home, but returned again to the door, and yet had ot courage to en: er, and finally de parted. But the other young man entered he pit of the theatre. It was the turning point in the history of those two young men. lhe man who entered was caught ma the whirl of temptation. He sank deeper and :eeper in infamy. He was lost. The other oung man was saved, and he now stands fore yon to bless God that for twenty years e has been permitted to preach the GospeL. "R~ejoice, 0 young man, in thy vouth, and et thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy outh; but know thou that for all these hings God will bring thee into judgment." '1'HE great strength acquired by Port land cement with a solution of calcium hloride is shown by the fact that even the runners of cement mills are now repaired with that mixture, the stones being put to work wthin an hour of eairing, the cement possessing per fet resistance and wearing less than lead, which has been so largely em ployed for the same purpose. All oints can by this means be made with great facility, acquiring in a short time e'treme solidity, the slight swelling during setting. being also very useful in filling the hollows and making good ~dhesion. Setting begins iu three or four months, and is attended with an elevation of temperature that miay at tain to 7( degrees C. On being mixed with calcium chloride, cement softens if it is immediately plunged into water; but after having been air-dried for eight or ten days, it may be so im mersed without inconvenience o:- detri ment to its cohesion and hardness, or dinarily damp air having no infitence pon the mixture. When great h~ird ess and quick setting are particularly desired, the cement may be used in its pure state, but in general an equal mixture of sharp sand is found to an swer every purp~ose. an aaverlsement mn a Georgia paper for man to watch a store in Tampa, Fla. :uring the yellow fever epidemic, was aered be nnwer1 o asooreo p-.on. FROM BERLIN TO ST. PETERSBURG. Scenes from a Train During a Ride -iirough Part of Russia. It is forty hours in the train from Berlin to St. Petersburg. Until you have traveled right through it you hardly recognize the greatness of Prus sia. From the French frontier to Ber lin is a shorter distance than from Ber lin to Eydtkuhnen, on the Russian frontier, and the whole road runs through well-tilled fields or carefully fenced meadows, in which shapely cat tle graze, and past red-roofed farm houses with roomy stock yards, testi fying strongly to the orderly, economi cal North German spirit. The Russian railway gauge is differ ent from the German, so while chang ing trains at Edytkuhnen one has to wait two hours; however, the part ridges are delicious, and they are pro videl at every Russian railway res taurant. On first crossing the frontier yon see but little difference, for you pass through Russia's German prov inces. The provinces were in the thir teenth and fourteenth centuries con quered from the pagan Slavs by the Teutonic Enights (a religions order of similar constitution to the Enights Templars), and by them colonized by German merchants; and the country, growing wealthy and prosperous, prom ised to become a regular part of the German Empire. It had been consti tuted an imperial fief, But as the towns waxed fat they kicked and threw off the rule of the Teutonic Knights; with division came weakness; and so the Baltic provinces fell back first to Slavonic Poland and then to Sweden, and after the fall of the Swedish hege mony they became Russian, and have remained so ever since. Until quite lately they were allowed a large amount of self-rule, and German was used as the official language; but it is so no longer. Yet the provinces still show their origin, for all the great landlords and all the business men are of German blood, and the language of business is German, although the peas ants are Slavs. As you get further on into Russia the long boots of the country people show that you have come into the land of mud and bad roads. All along the line you see that monotonous beauty of every northern landscape-the wild, thick-grown forest, in which pines and birch strive for the mastery; the slug gish river now broadening into a sedgy mere, and deep, soft, marshy meadows roughly railed with split timber. But, above all, the landscape conveys to a stranger from the west of Europe a sense of space, as of a country where every tree is not numbered; where there is much land and few men; where it is cheaper and easier to make a fresh road over a new bit of land than to repair the ruts of the old track. But when the sun goes down behind a hill, throwing a bright light on the foliage of the wood opposite-a foliage not of a dusky blue-green, but with the dark pines relieved by the lightest, freshest green, the green of the birches-and the light twinkles on the silver birch stems and the surface of the quiet river turns to go'd, then one sees the Rus sian sunset as portrayed by Turgenieff with a glamour over its loneliness. At that moment the sight recalled the landscape seen so often in stage paint ing, and the Russian peasants are opera chorus peasants, dressed in bright red skirts buckled round the waist and hanging loose over the trousers, which are always thrust irtto long boots. Uver the skirt they wear a shieepokia coming down to their ankles. The women wear pink or red dresses (the Slav likes bright colors), head neck laces, a gaudy handkerchief over the head, and the legs, when they are not bare, tied round with bands. IAt last we arrive at Gatchina, but see nothing of the palace from the train. Then we come to Tsarskoe Solo, where there is another palace, and then the line, skirting the last hill, enters the great level marsh in which St. Petersburg is built. There are no environs, but gradually you see rising out of the plain a mass of trees, over which emerge spires and domes, and then the train rolls into St. Petersburg. -Philadelphia Re ord. Leather Coinage.I In the year 1123 Domenico Michielis the Doge of Venice, undertook a cru sade in Syria and Palestine, routed the Saracens and entered Jerusalem in 1124. There the Doge found himself greatly embarrassed for want of moaey, as the expected supplies had not arrived, and the Venetian troops (mercenaries for the most part) clamored for immediate payment under the threat of wholesale desertion. Then Domenico Nichieli ordered a large number of pieces of leathier to be stamped with the pommel of his sword, on which his name and coat of arms were engraved, adding the number of gold coins each was in tended to represent. And behold, the money-lenders in Jerusalem had such respect for the Doge and his honesty, and so great faith in the credit of the city of Venice, that they advanced the required amount on the security of those pieces of leather, which then passed into currency under the name "Michieletti." They were afterward redeemed in Venice on presentation. and at a later period added to the coat of-arms of the wenetian nobility. IA Scientifl3 Recreation. The explanation of this pretty and simple trick lies in the preparation of the original rings. No. 1 is made by joining together the two ends of a strip of paper. In No. 2 the strip is twisted once, and in No. 3 twice, before join ing the ends. It is better to make rings much larger than those shown in the engraving, as the twisting of the paper is not then so evident.
