Oh! there breaf not a heart, but icaves monle
one to grieve;
And the fondest., the purest, the mut im
-et.
Have ttill round the need to forgive and
get.
Then oh! though the hopes that we nou:,s!:ed
decay,
Let as love one another as loni; ab we say..
There are hearts like the ivy. t hough al OC
decayed
That it seemed to twine founily In sunlight
and shade;
No leaves droop in sadness, still gaily they
spread,
Undimm'd midst the blighted the lonely and
dead;
But the misletoe clings to the oak not in part,
But with leaves closely round it, the root in
its heart.
Exists but to twine it-imbibe the same dew.
Or to fall with its loved oak. and perish there
too
Thus let's love one another 'midst sorrows
the worst.
Unaltered and fond as we loved at the nrst,
Tb' the false wing of pleasure may change
and forsake.
And the bright urn of wealth into p irticles
break;
There are some sweet af'ections that wealth
cannot bny,
Tnat cling but still closer when sorrow draws
nigh
And remain with us yet though all else pass
away
Ifhen let's love one another as long as we
stay.
DR. TALMAGE IN SYRIA.
A SERMON SUGGESTED BY THE
LOCALITY AND SEASON.
There Are Many That Will Be Saved, for
the Great Triumph Is Yet to Come-The
arthly Armies of the Living God-"The
Sky Anmtem."
BEYROET. Doc. 24.-The Bev. T. De
Witt Talmage, D. D., of Brooklyn,
wh'o is here with his partv, preached
today to a group of friends on "The
Sky Anthem." His text was Luke n,
14: "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peaee, good will toward men,"
on which he delivered the following
discourse: -
At last I have what ..I longed for, a
Christmas eve in the Holv Land. This
is the time of year that Christ landed.
He was a December Christ. This is
the chill air through which he de
scended. I look up throtgh these
Christmas skies, and I see no'loosenel
star hastening southward to halt above
Bethlehri, but all the stars suggest
the Star of Bethlehem. No more need
that any of them run along the sky
to point downward. In quietude they
kneel at the feet of him who, though
once axm.exile, is now enthroned for
ever. Fresh up from Bethlehem, I
am full of the scenes sug"gested by a
visit to that villao-e. You 1now that
whole region of bethlehem is famous
in Bible story. There were the wav
ing harvests of Boaz, in which Ruth
gleaned for* herself and weeping Na
omi. There David the warrior was
thzraty, and three.men of unheard of
self denial broke through the Philis
tine army to get him a drink. It was
to that region that Joseph and Mary
came to have their names enrolled in
the census. That is what the Scripture
means whei it says ther came "to be
taxed,!' for people did 'not in those
days rush after the assessors of tax
any more than they now do.
THE HOLY ONb IN THE 3IANGEa.
The village inn was crowded with
the attangers who had come up by the
command of government to have their
names in the census, so that Joseph
and Mary were obliged to lodge in the
stables. You have seen some of those
large, .stone buildings, in the center of
which the camels were kept, while run
ning out from this center in all direc
tionsthere were rooms, mn one of which
Jsuswas born. Had his parents been
more showily appare'led I have no
do.ubt, they would _have found more
and kindled fires, were watching
their flocks, when hark! to the
sound of voices strangely sweet.
Can it be that the maidens
'of Bethlehem- have come out to
serenade the weary shepherds? But
now a light stoop upon them like
the mornmng, so that the flocks arise,
shaking their snowy fleece and bleat
ing to their drowsy young. The
heavens are filled with armies of light,
anid the earth quakes under the har
mony as, echoed back from cloud to
cloud, it rings over the midnight hills:
."Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will to nen!" It
sems that the crown of royalty and
deminion and power which Christ left
hindl him was huno on the sky in
sht of Bethlehem. Who knows" but
-that that crown may have been mis
taken by the wise men for the star
iunnig and pointing downward?
- 'y subject, in the first p lace. im
- presses me with the fact that indi
,gnce is not always significant of deg
adan. Wh'en princes are born,
Luends announce it, and cannon
thunder it, and flags wave it, and
ilhnions set cities on fire with
Sthe idings. Some of us in England
or America remember the titne of re
' 'g when the Prince of Wales was
bt.You can remember the glad
ness throughout Christendom at the
astn~ity in the palace at Madrid. But
:iben our glorious Prince was born,
there was no rejoicing on earth. Poor
aizd g'rowing poorer, yet the heavenly
recog'nition that Christmas night
shows the tr'uth of the pr-oposition
that indigence is not always signifi
cant of degradation.
In all ages there have been great
hearts throbbing under rags. tender

GOD HATH CHOSEN THE WEAK.
All the great thoughts which have
decided the destiny of nations started
in obscure corners, and had Herods
who wanted to slav them, and Isca
iots who betrayed them, and rab
hies that crucifed thenm, and sepul
elhers that confined them until they
burst forth in glorious resurrection.

once out of a hundred times will a
lazy man become a Christian. Those
who have nothiing to do are in verv
unfavorable circinista-nces for the re
ceiving of divile ianifestations. It
is not when voti are in idleness, but
when you are, like the Bethlehei
shepherds, watching your flocks, that
the glorv descends and there Is Joy
among the angels of God over your
soul peni'ent aid forgiven.
"REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD.
My subject also strikes at the delu
sion that the religion of Christ is
dolorous and grief infusing. The inu
sic that broke through the midnight
heavens was not a dirge, but an an
them. It shook joy over the hills. It
not only dropped upon the shepherds.
but it sprang upward among the
thrones. The robe of a Saviour's
rizhteousness is not black. The Chris
tian life is not made up of weeping
and cross bearing and war waging.
Through the reveration of that Christ
mas ight I find that religion is not a
groan, but a song. In a world of sin
and sick bed and sepulchers, we must
have trouble; but in the darkest night
the heavens part with angelic song.
You may, like Paul, be shipwrecked,
but I exhiort you to be of good cheer,
for you shall tll escape safe to
the land. Religion does not show
itself in the elongation of the
face and the cut of the garb. The
Pharisee who puts his religion into
his phylactery has none left for his
heart. Fretfulness and complaining
do not belong to the family of Chris
tian graces which move into the heart
when the devil moves out. Christian
ity does not frown upon amusctnefits
and recreations. It is not a cv.nic, it
is not a shrew, it chokes no laughter,
it quenches no light, it defaces no art.
Among the happy, it is the happiest.
It is just as much at horne on the play
oround as ib is in the church. It is
ust as graceful in the charade as it is
in the :lm book. It sings just as
well in burrey gardens as it prays in
St. Paul's. Christ.died that we might
live. Christ walked that we might
ride. Christ wept that we might

Again, my subject impresses me
with the fact that glorious endings
sometimes have very humble begin
nings. The straw pallet was the start

night sky revealed what would be the
glorious consummation. Christ on,
Mary's lap, Christ on the throne of

Grace begins orn a small scale in the
heart. You see only men as trees
walking. The grace of God in the
heart is a feeble spark, and Christ has
to keep both hands over it lest it be
blown ouit. Wha~t an humble begin
ning! But look at that same man
when he has entered heavep. No
crown able to express his royalty. No

CHRIST'S CHURCH Ev GR~wING.
My subject also impresses me with
the effect of Christ's mission upward
and downward. Glory to God. peace
to man. When God sent his son into
the world, angels discovered some
thing new in God, something they
had never seen before. Not powe-,
not wisdom, not love. They knew all
that befor-e. But when God sent his
Son into this world then th~e mgels
saw the spiirit of self denial in God,
the spirit of self sacrifice in God. It
-is easier to love an angel on his throne
than a thief on the cr-oss, a seraph in
his worship than an adulteress in her
crime. When the angels saw God
the God-the God who would not al
low the most insignificant angel in
heaven to be hurt-give up his Son,
his Son, his only, only Son, they saw
somethinig that ticey had never- thought
ofbefor-e, anid I do not wonder- that
when Christ starnted out on that pil
grimage the angels in heaven clapped
their wings in t-iuinph and called on
all the hosts of heaven to hellp them
celebrate it. and sang so loud that the
Bethlehem shepherds heard it: "Goryv
to God in tihe highest."
But it was also to be a mission of
peace to man. Infinite holiness- ac
cumulated depr-avity. Iow couldl

OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION.
Oh, the tears! Oh. the blood! Oh.
the long marches! Oh, the hospital
wounds! Oh, the imartvrdon! Oh,
the death! But brighter than the light
which flashed oi all these swords and
shields and musketry is the light that
fell on . Bethlehem. a-ud louder than
the bray of the trumpets, and the
neigiling of the chargers, and the
crash of the walls, and the groaning
of the dying armies, is the song that
unrolls this moment from the sky,
swept as though all the bells of heaven
rung a jubilee, 'Peace on earth. good
will toward men." Oh, when will the

lebrated emancipation day with a street
parade and speech making. The ora,
tion of the day was delivered by the
R-ev. J.: . Lee, a pnomiueni colked
minister. Alluding to the emaucipa
race the speaker:-aid: "i e new or
der of things so l(leily bursting
upon us, found us in no way prepared
to mneet the (it maods that at once C0
ironted us and yet we were at once
placed in the scales of human pro
gress and in the light of Anirican pre
judice, weighed and found wanting.
Have we made mistake. Have we
committed great bluuder? Have we
been betrayed into paths of iu and
folly and aluost tiestroyed? Alas;
this is all true, sadly true. Buc were
it not a marvel had we acted other
wise under the circumstances? In
deed we must have been super-human
to have acted otherwise. Clothed with
the privileges -aud charged with the
duties and responsibilities of American
citizens without knowledge of or abilz
ity to discharge these duties or to ap
propriate to ourselvesithe benefits ac
cruing therefrom, we stood bewildered
not knowing- where to turn our
thoughts lor instruction or our hands
for help."
Alluding to the recent race riots in
the South the speaker said: "I believe
that the ultimate solution of tbe so.
called race problem will be ituiigra
tion from necessity if not from choice.
Amalgamation is neither po:-sible nor
desirable. To obtain our rights and
maintain them by force we are unable.
For t'wo peoples so distinct from each
other in their physical structure and
between whom there are such barriers
natually to develope in seperate and
distinct lives is about as reasonable as
to suppose that two kings can reign
on the same thr one at one and the
same time. Outrages, sueh as lynch
ing negroes, compelling them to ride
in smoking cars aup refusing them ho
tel accommodations are evidences
strong and convincing that we will
never attain full manhood here. These
are the shadows of coming events.
To approach the white American for
justice, lite and liberty is simply to re
main where we are, as beggars who
must not be choosers but must, take
what is given and ase at long as wedo
not displease the giver or his interests
do not require him to withdraw the
gift. Should either prove to Le the
case they will be withdrawn and we
have no power to prevent their doing
so, and all that will remain is to come
up begging once more. We make a
great mistake when we suppose that
the Anglo Saxon gave us our enfran
chisement for the love he h d for us.
I deny that he did it for philanthropic
reasons. He did it because he thought
he could use us. Whenever the white
man does anything for us, be it North
erner or Southerner, ma:mp od
it is only because h-Vinks he can use
us as his tool. It is a mistaken idea
for us to kneef down to the whites.
The Ango'Saxon and the colored man
cano~ivork together; one or the other
.wf~ have to leave and I am somnewhat
a believer in the tale about the Lord's
fire. -The fire will not burn the peo
ple but it will be so warm that our peo
ple will have to move on or get burned
and I rather believe that they will
move on.
"NO more faith can be put in the
Republicans than in the Democrats.
They are both Anglo-Saxons and do
nothing for us unless it is to their ad
vantage to do so, and will throw us
overboard as did Uncle Ben in John
son's story as soon as they find us too
heavy. We must show cur indepen
dence and the sooner we do this the
better. Let some of us leave. Go to
Africa if necessary. Show that we can
get along without the Anglo-Saxon,
and by this spirit of independence
make them learn and appreciate .our
value. Independence ana immigration
are in my opinion the only solutions
to this great question."

From a gentleman who has just ar
rived at Yew Orleans from Honduras
it is learned that Maj. E.- A. Burke,
the defaulting State Treasurer of Lou
isiana, is now in the capital of that
repub ic, where he arrived three weeks
ago, well provided with money fur
nished by the English syndicate which
is interested with him in his Honduras
mines. Burke had a royal reception
from the President of the republic,
General Bogran, and stands in high
favor, the Honduras oflicials looking
upon the Louisiana incident as a mat.
ter of little accournt. President Bog'
ran gave him important additional
concessions, wvhich put him in virtual
control of all the mining operations in
the large province of Olancho. It is
understood that Bograr is himself in.
terested with Major ~purke in these
mines. The latter succeeded further
ig securing the good-will of the Ameri
cans in Honduras, and is said to have
won all of them over to his support by
interesting them in his venture or giv
ing them employment in his mines,
and now he has the backing of nearly
the entire American colony. Burke's
headquarters are at the capital, but he
has made several excursions to Judi
calpa, near which the mines are sit
uated. The machinery sent there, via
New York and San Francisco, has not
yet arrived, but, gold has already been
obtained from the concession, aid the
entleman who brought his news had
several specimens with him. He ridi
culed the idea of Bogran's surrender
ing Burke at the request of the United
States, and says thereis not theslight

Treasurer is popular with the Presi

Americans, and promises to play an
important part in Central American
politics.______ ____

Annie Bennett got drunk last night
and was arrested for disturbing a mis

Justice La Buy this morning she car

"Don't send me to the bridewell;

we read that as a certain lady persis

a newspaper thus make a lady the
helpless victim of such personal criti

read in a Neiw York newspaper, the

A BAND OF HORSE THIEVES.
.uccesfiul Depredations in Tennessec
The Farmers to Organize.
CHIcAGO. Jan. 4.-A despatch from
ta panic, exists among the farmers of
Davidsan and adjoining counties, in
middle Tennessee. A splendidly orggn
ized band of horse thieves hasu been up
erating there for months without let or
hindrance. It is estimated that within
two weeks, 200 horses have been stolen,
and run into Kentucky fastnesses where
it is next to impossible to follow thenm or
the thieves. Not one of these animals
has beeni re'aovered. It ja supposed the
thieves have a regular underground
route in Cincinnati, where stolen horses
are sold.
GenI. W. H. Jackson of the famous
Belle Meade farm, Cols. John Overton
and Cockerill are preparina a Farmers'
Association which, with abundance of
money to back it, will employ compe
tent and adequate force to annmbilate the
robbers.
The Grady Monumeant Fund.
The Grady monument fundi has now
reached nearly $15,000. The nuoscrip
tions thus far are almost all from Atlanta.
Young men of other parts of Georgia are
interestng themselves, and while no re
turns have yet neen received, the indica
tions are that subscriptions from o'ther
Geogia towns and cities will increase
the fund to at least double the present
amount. The largest subscription from
the North came from the directors of the
Fourth National Bank of New York, ac
compnied Oy the following telegram:
"The directors of the Fourth National
Bank of the city of New York are in
duced, by the personal esteem and admi
ration which they entertain .'or the high
character and distinguished public ser
vices of the late Henry W. Grady of At
lanta, to subscribe the sum of tive hun
dred dollars to the monument fund, a
check for which I send by mail this
day. Yours respectfully.

A Gift of Negroes to New Enaglandl.
There is one direction by which the
surplus colored population of the South
might be diverted elsewhere to the ad
vantage of the South, the blacks, and
the North. In the Middle and :New
England cities and towns there is a
grestscarcity of household labor, atnd
in the country a similar scarcity of farm
labor. The South is overrun with
swarms of worthless household servants.
If schools were established for making
these efficient cooks, chambermaids and
nurses the North would take the entire
supply. Gradually they would be fol
-wed by their male relations, who
would find in the North plenty of
farm work to which they are accustom
ed, and those who camne would have the
means of support awaiting them. The
change would lbe a natural and gradual
one, and more likely to be successful on
that account than any abrupt artificial
movement.-Fhiladelpaia Inquirer.

three dollars, whereas it would amount
