Spring w*lk? abroad in ail the flelde today,
Her touch ha* left the apple orchcrds

The baby bu Is that waited for the May
Have shaken out their petal* over night.
Against the rugged boughs they softly press,
Shell tinted blossoms ou a field of green,
Weaving the mantle of their loveliness
Across the unooulh shapes that spring
between
Amid their fragrance oroon tho drowsy bees.
And in the perfumed mazes lose their way
While hovermg over them the wandering

Lays Under fingers on etch sun kissed

A thousand gifts she joyfully bestows,
But all her fairest handiwork is here.

TALMAGK'S 8ERMAN.
Dr. Talmage in a Timely Discourse,
Discusses Spiritual Archery.
In this discourse Dr. Talmsgo u'ges
all Christian workors to increased li loli
ty aod shows how much ctT >rt at doing
good fails through lack of adroitness;
text, Qoncsis x, 9, "He was a mighty
hunter before tho Lord "
In our day hunting is a sp>rt, but in
tho lands and tho times infested of
wild beasts it was a matter of life or
doath with tho pooplo. It was very
difforent from going out on a sunshiny
afternoon with a patent brooohloador
to shoot redbirds on tho flats, when
Pollux and Achilles and Diomodos
wont out to o'oar tho land of lions and
panthers and boars. Xonophon grow
eloquont in regard to tho art of hunting.
In tho far oast poople, elephant
mounted, ohasod tho tigor. Francis I
was oallcd tho falhor of hunting. And
Moses, in my text, sets forth Nitnrod as
a horo, whon it prosonts him with broad
shoulders and shaggy apparel and sun
browned faoo and arm bunohed with
musolo, "a mighty hunter boforo tho
Lord." I think ho usod tho bow aod
tho arrows with groat success practicing
archery.
I havo thought if if is such a grand
thing and such a bravo thing to oloar
wild boaptfl out of a country if it is not
a bottor and bravor thing to hunt down
and dostroy thoeo great ovils of Bonicty
that aro Htalking the land with linco
eyo and bloody paw and -sharp tusk
and quiok spring. 1 have wondered if
thore is not suoh a thing as gospol archery,
by which thoso who havo boon Hying
from tho truth may bo oapturod for
God and hcavon. Tho Lord .Jesus in
his sormon used tho art of angling for
an illustration whon ho said, "1 will
mako jou flshors of men." And so 1
think 1 havo authority for using hunt
ing as an illustration of gospol truth,
and 1 pray God that thorc may bo many
a man cnli6tod in tho work who shall
begin to study gospel arohory of whom
it may after awhilo bo said, "lie was a
mighty hunter boforo tho Lord."
llow muoh awkward Christian woik
thorc is dono in the world! llow many
good pooplo then aro who drive souls
away from Christ instead of bringing
them to him! All thoir lingers aro
thumbs?religious blunderers who up
set moro than thoy right. Thoir gun
has a orookod barrel and kioks as it
goos off. Thoy aro liko a clumsy com
rado who goos along with skillful huntors.
At tho very moment ho ought to
bo most quiot ho is oraekling an alder
or falling ovor a log and frightoning
away tho gamo. llow few Christian
peoplo havo ovor loarnod how tho Lord
Jesus Christ at tho well wout from talking
about a oup of wator to tho most
praotieal religious truths, whioh won
the woman's soul for Godl .Jesus in
tho wildornoss was broaking bread to
the pooplo. 1 think it was very good
broad. It waB vory light bread, and
tho yoast had dono its work thoroughly.
Christ, aftor ho had broken tlu
broad, said to tho pooplo, ' Uowaro ol
tho yoast or of tho loavon of tho l'hari
sees." So natural a transition it wat
and how oasily thoy all understood him
But how fow Christian pooplo there art
who understand how to fasten the
truths of God and religion to tho souh
of men!
The arohors of oldon timo studied
their art. Thoy wcro vory prooiso ir
the matter. Tho old books gavo spooia
directions as to how an arohor should
go and as to what an arohor should do
He must stand crcot and tirm, his loft
foot a little in advance of tho right
foot. With his loft hand ho must tak<
hold of tho bow in the middle, and thor
with tho threo fingers and tho thuml
of his right hand ho should lay hold tlu
arrow and affix it to tho string?s(
prcciso was tho dirootion given. But
how clumsy wo aro about roligiout
work! How littlo skill and oaro wo ox
eroiso! How ofton our arrows miss tlu
mark! 1 am glad that thoro aro institu
tions established in many oitios of oui
land where mon may loarn tho art o
doing good?studying spiritual arohcrj
and booomo known as "mighty huntcit
before tho Lord!"
In the first place, if you want to be
effectual in doing good you must b<
very sure of your woapon. Thoro wai
something vory fascinating about the
arohory of olden times. Perhaps yoi
do not know what thoy oould do will
the bow and arrow. Why, the ohio!
battles fought by tho English l'ianta
genets were with tho longbow. Thoj
would take tho arrow of polishod wooi
and feather it with tho plume of a bird
and then it would fly from tho bow
string of plaited Bilk. Tho bloody ficldi
of Aginoourt and Sol way Moss aue
Neville's Cross heard the loud thruu
of the archer's bowstring. Now, inj
Christian friends, wo havo a mightie:
weapon than that. It is tho arrow o
the gospol; it is a sharp arrow; it is i
< ? ? > ?
dliRi^uk Brruw, 11 is icamoroa iroai tin
wing of the dovo of God's spirit; it tl e
from a bow made out of tho wood of thi
cross. As far as I can ostimato or oal
oulato, it has brought down 400,000,001
of souls. Paul knew how to briDg th
notoh of that arrow on to tho bowstriog
and its whir was hoard through th<
(Jorinthian theaters and through th<
oourtroom until tho knoos of Feli:
knooked together. It was that arrov
that struok in Luther's hoart when hi
eried out: "Oh, my sins I Oh, mj
ins!" If it strike a man in tho head
it kills his skepticism; if it striko him
in the heel, it will turn his step; if i
striko him in the heart, he throws u|
his hands, as did one of old whoi
wounded in the battle, orying, "(.
Galilean, thou hast oonquerod!'
In the armory of the Karl of Pom
broke there are old corselets which
show that the arrow of tho English used
to go through tho breadplato, through
tho body of tho warrior and out through
the baokplato. What a symbol of that
gospel which is ^harporthan a two edgod
sword, piercing to tho dividing asunder
of soul and body and of tho Joiuts and
marrow! Would to God wo had inoro
faith in (hat gospel! Tho humblest
man in tho world, if ho had enough
faith in it, oould brintr a hundrod souls
to Christ?perhaps BOO. .lust in pro
portion as this ago socms to boliove less
in it, I boliovo moro and more in it.
What arc mon about that tliov will not
acoopt thoir own deliverance? Thoro is
nothing proposed by men that oan do
an l iDg liko th:s gospol.
The roligion of lUlph Waldo Kmcrson
v as tho philosophy of ioiolon; tho
religion of Thoodoro l'arkor was a
tiroojo of tho dosort, oovoring up tho
soul with dry sand; tho roligion of
Uu-aa was tho roinanoo of bolioving
aim ibt nothing; the roligion of tho
lluxlo.isand the Spenoora is luoroly a
pedestal on whioh human philosophy
sits shivoring in tho night of tho soul,
looking up to tho stars, shoring no holp
to tho nations that crouoh and groan at
tho ba-to. Toll mo whero thoro is ono
m* 11 who has rojootoh that gospol for
another who is thoroghly satisfied and
holpod and oontontcd in his skoptioisuj
and I will tako tho car tomorrow and
rido 500 miles to soo him. Tho full
power of tho gospel has not yot boon
touohod. As a spoilsman throws up
his hand and catches tho ball Hying
through tho air, just so easily will thiH
gospol after awhilo oatoh this rouni
world flying from its orbit and bring it
hack to tho heart of Christ. Uivo it
full swing, and it will pardon ovurysin,
heal every wound, ouro every trouble,
ouianoipato every slave and ransom
ovcry na'ion. Yo Christian men and
women who go out this afternoon to do
Christian work, as you go into tho Sun
day schools, and tho lay proaohing sta
lions and tho penitentiaries, and tho
asylums, I want you to tool that you
bear in vour hand a weapon compared
with which tho lightning has uo spocd
and avalanohcs havo uo heft and the
thunderbolts of heavon havo no power;
it is the arrow of tho omnipotent gospel.
Tako careful aim! I'ull tho arrow olcar
hack until tho lioad strikos the bowl
Thon let it fly. And may tho slain of
tho Lord bo many.
Again, if you want to bo skillful in
spiritual arohory you must hunt in un
frc<i'ionted and sooladod plaoos. Why
docs tho huntor go throo or four days in
tho Pennsylvania forosts or over Ha
nuotto lake into tho wilds of tho Adiron(lacks?
It is tho only way to do. Tho
door arc shy, and ono "bang" of tho gun
clears the forest. Krom tho California
stago you bco, aH you go over t ho plains,
here and thoro a ooyotc trotting along
almost within rango of tho gun?souiotiuics
<|uito within rango of it. No ono
oaroB for that. It is worthlofis. Tho
good game is hidden and Bcoludcd.
Kvcry hunter knows that. So many of
tho rouIb that will be of most worth for
Christ and of most value to tho churoh
aro aedudod. Thoy do not oomo in our
way. You will havo to go where they
aro. Yonder th >y aro down in that ool
lar. Yonder they aro up in that garret
? far away from tho door of any ohu -oh.
Tho gospel arrow has not boon pointod
at thorn. Tho tin jt distributor and tho
oity missionary Bomotimes just oatoh a
glimpso of thorn, as a huntor through
tho trooH gets a momootary sight of a
, partridgo or roebuck. Tho troublo is
, we aro willing for tho gatuo to oouio to
' us. Wo are not good huntors We are
standing ou somo stroct or road expect
ing that the timid autolopo will oomo
up and cat out of our hand. Wo aro
' oxpooting that tho prairie fowl will
light on our ohuroh stceplo. It is not
their habit, If the ohuroh should wait
j 10,000,000 of years for tho world to
I ooLiO in and bo saved, it will wait in
vair. Tho world will not ooaic.
What tho ohuroh wants now in to lift
itH foot froiu damask ottomans and put
them in tho stirrups. Tho ohuroh wauta
not ho muoh oushions as it wants t-a<l
dlcbags and arrows. Wo hwo got to
put aside tho gown and tho kid glovoa
and put on tho hunting shirt. Wo want
a pulpit on wheols- Wo havo been fishing
so long in tho brooks that run undor
tho shadow of tho ohuroh that tho fish
know us, and thoy avoid tho hook and
osoapo as soon as wo oomo to tho bank,
whilo yonder is llppor Saranao and Big
Tuppcr's lako, whore tho first swing of
tho gospol not woull break it for tho
multitudo of tho fishes. Thore id out
sidowork to bo dono. What is that I
soointho baokwoods? It is a tout.
Tho huntors havo mado a clearing and
oarnped out. What do thoy oaro if thoy
havo wot foot or if thoy havo nothing
but a pino branch for a pillow or for tho
northeast storm? If a mooso in tho
darknoss stops into tho lako to drink,
thoy hear it right away, if a loon cry
in tho midnight, they hear it. So in
tho sorvioo of God wo havo exposed
work. Wo havo got to oamp out and
rough it. Wo aro putting all our oaro on
tho oomparitivcly fow pooplo who go to
ohuroh. What aro wo doing for tho millions
who do not oomo? llavo thoy no
souls? Aro thoy sinless that thoy nood
no pardon? Aro thoro no dead in thoir
houses that thoy nood nooomfjrt? Aro
thoy out off from God to go into otornity
no wing to boar them, no light to ohoor
thorn, no woloomo to grcot thorn? 1 hoar
today surging up from that lower dopth
of our oitios a groan that oomos through
our Christian assemblages and through
our boautiful ohurohes, and it blots out
all thissoono from my oves today, as by
tho mists of a groat Niagara, for tho
dash and tho plungo of those great tor,
rents of lifo dronuinff down ini^ tim
'j fathomless and thundering abysm of
r sulforing and woo. I somotimes think
f that just as Cod blottod ou jtho ohurohos
j of Thya'.ira and Corinth and li*odtc>a
3 booauso of their sloth aud stolidity ho
M will blot out American aud Koglish
0 Christianity and raiHo on tho ruins a
. stalwart, wido awako missionary church
j that can take tho full moaning of that
0 oommand: "Cod yo into all world and
preach tho eospel to every orcaturo. Ho
q that beliovoth and is baptized shall bo
Q savod, but ho that boliovoth not shall
t bo damned"?a oommand, you boo,
f punctuated with a throno of heavon
3 and a dungeon of hell.
f 1 remark, further, if you want to sue*
, ocod in spiritual arohory you must
1 havo oourago. If tho huntor stands
t with trembling hand or shou'dor that
) il nohes with foar, instead of his taxing
i tho oatamount tho catamount takos
) him. What would booomo of tho
Croonlander if whon out hunting for
tho boar ho should stand shivoring with
i torror on an iceberg? What would
havo booomoof Da Ohaillu and LivingntoDo
in tho African thicket with a
faint hoart and a woek knee? When a
pantor ootnen within 20 paoes of you
and it hat i?s oyo on you and it has <
squatted for tho fearful spring, "Stoady
thorn!" Courago, Oyo spiritual archers!
Thcro a-'o groat uioustors of iniquity
prowling aU around about tho community.
Shall wo not in tho strength
of God go forth and oornbat them? Wo
not only need inoro hoart, hut more
baokbono. What is tho ohuroh
of God that it should fear to
look in tho oyo auy transgression?
Thorn is tho Hongal tigor of druDkonnoss
that prowls around, and instead of
attaoking it how many of us hido under
tho ohuroh pow or tho oommunion
tablo? Thoro is so muoh invostod in it
wo arc afraid to assault it. Millions of
dollars in barrols, in vats, in spigots, in
oorksorows, in gin palaoca with marblo
lljors and Italian top tablos and ohasod
ioo coolers, and in tho stryohnino and
tho logwool aad tho tartaric aoid and
1 ho dux vomica that go to make up
our "puro" American drinks. I looked
with wondoring eyes on tho "lloidelborg
tun." It is tho groat 1 i<iuDr vat of
Germany, which is said to hold 800
hogshoadj of wine, and only throe timos
in 100 years i . has boon filled. Hut as
I stood and looked at it I sail to myself:
''That is nothing?800 hogsheads.
Why, o'-ir Auaorioan vat holds 10,200,000
harrols of strong drinks, and wo
kcop 200,000 men with nothing to do
but to soc that tt is Sllod,"
Oli, to attack this groat monster of
intemperance and the kindred monsters
of fraud and unclcannoss requires you
to rally all your Christian oourago.
Through tho press, through tho pulpit,
through the platform you must assault
it. Would to God that all our American
Christian) would band together,
not for oraok brainod fanaticism, but
for holy Christian roform! I think it
was in 1702 that thcro wont out from
liuokuow, India, under tho sovcrcigu,
tho greatoat hunting party that was
ever projooted. There wero 10,000
armed mon in that hunting party.
There wore camels and horses and olophants.
On somo prinocs rodo and
royal ladios under exquisite housings,
and 500 coolies waited upon tho traiu,
and tho dosolato places of ludia wero
invaded by this excursion, and tho
rhinocoroa and dcor and elephant fell
under the stork) of the sabor and bill
lot. After awhilo tho par?y brought
back trophies worth 50,000 rupees,
having left tho wildornoss of India
ghastly with tho slain bodion of wild
beasts. Would to God that instead of
hero and there a straggler going out to
fight thoso groat monsters of iniquity in
our oountry tho millions of momoer
ship of our ohurohes would hand to
gothor and how in twain theso great
crimes that make tho land frightful
with their roar and aro fattening upon
tho bodios and souls of immortal iiicd!
Who is ready for smh a party as that?
Who will bo a mighty huator for the
I J ord?
If you go out to hunt for immortal
souls, not only bring thorn down under
tho nrrow of tho gospel, hut bring thorn
into tho ohuroh of God, tho grand homo
and encampment wo havo pitohtd this
sido tho skies. Kotoh thorn id; do not
lot them lio out in theopon field. They
nood our prayors aud sympathies an 1
help. Tnal is tho meaning of tho
ohuroh of God?help. O vo hunters
for tho lord, not ouly briug down, the
gamo, but bring it in.
If Mithridatcs liked hunting so well
that for seven years ho novor wont indoors,
what enthusiasm ought wo to havo
who aro hunting for iinuortal sou's! If
Domitiau practiced archery until he
oould stand a boy down in tho Roman
amphitheater with a hand out, tho tiugors
sproad apart, and then tho king
oould shoot an arrow botweou tho fingnrs
wi'.hout wounding them, to what
drill and what practice ought wo to subject
oursolvos in order to booouto spiritual
archers aud ' "mighty huntora boforo
tho hoid!" Rut let mo say you will
novor work any better than you pray.
Tho old arohors took tho bow, put ono
ond of it down bciido tho foot, clovatod
tho otlur ond,and it was tho rulo that the
bow should bo just tho si/.oof tho arohcr.
If it wore just his si/.o, thou ho would
go into battlo with ooufidonoo. Lot mo
say that your power to projoot good in
tho world will oorrospond oxaotly to
your own spiritual stature. In other
words, tho first thing in preparation for
Christian work is personal conaoora
lion.
Oh, for a closer walk with Uod,
A calm and heavenly franc,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
1 am Euro that thoro aro somo mm
who at Homo tirno havo bron hit by tho
gospol arrow. You felt tho wound of that
oonviotion, and you plunged into tho
world dccpor, just as tho stag, whon tho
hounds aro after it, plungoa into Sohroon
lako oxpeoting in that way to osoapo
Jesus Christ is on your track today, O
imponitcnt manl Not in wrath, but in
mcroy. O yo ohasod and panting soulsl
Horo is tho stream of God's moroy and
salvation, whoro you may o-ml your
thirst! Stop that ohaso of sin today. By
the red fountain that leapod from tho
hoart of my Lord, 1 bid you stop! Thoro
is moroy for you?moroy that pardons,
moroy that hoala. ovelasting moroy. Tho
12 gates of God's love stand wido opon.
Kitor and bo forovcr safe.
Thoro is in a forest in Germany a
placo they oall tho "doar leap"?two
orags, about 18 yards ap*rt; botwocn
them a foarful ehasm. This is onlled
tho "douleap" because ones a huntor

( V troop of cavalry, tho "Klgcfiold
Sabro Club," uniformed in Confederate
groy, viHitod Columbia during Fair wook
of 1873. Thoy reaohed town about dusk
on tho ovening of the 13th November )
It ffti the first day of tho fair,
And fast, on every side,
From all the ountry round about
Rolled in the living tide.
All day a'eng tho broad highways
The great crowd ebbed and flowed.
And whirling wheels and trampling feet
Thronged all the sounding road.
From morn 'till night 1 marked the route
That osme and went away;
Despite the wintry wiud and rain
The town kept holiday.
Rut at the dusk 1 stood apart,
To watch the troubled tlow
Of tired feet, that down the street
In weary sort did go.
Long while I stood and waited there,
Alone and silently,
Watching tho outer; larger fair
Of huuian vanity.
'Till tired at last, 1 turned away,
With seeing satisfied;
The weary sights, aud weary sounds,
Still rising far and wide.
Rut ere that 1 had gono a rood
1 marked upon it all,
Along the street, from end to end,
A sudden silence fall.
See there! and every eye was fixed,
Aud every foot was stayed;
We saw beyond the hreathlose throng
A dusty cavalcade
Come riiling up by two and two,
Ah silent ah tho dead;
Iheir very horse hoofs made no sound
Upon the hard road-bed.
No sound of bugle, nor of drum,
Nor loud command was there;
Fo silken (lag threw out its folds
Upon the evening air.
Nor flashing uniform they wore,
But by tho light of day
That still was left, wo thrilled to see,
Onco more?tho rebel grey!
And nearer, nearer, yet they come,
They climb the weary hill;
And, nearer yet; upon the throng
1 ho hush grows deeper still.
No silkon flagthrow< out its folds
Uton the evening air,
And yet abovo their heads wo see,
A tattered banner there!
The banner that doth haunt our sleep,
The Southern Cross?and Crown!
The wonder of a thousand lands,
And glory of our own.
That fair hands wrought, that brave onos
bore
rinuillltA.l nil tia ?Anw?.
Tha* hope baptised with fair, false smiles;
That memory guards with tears.
Our blazon in the days of wrath;
Our pride in days of peace;
The flag that guarded all our land
And H tnied along (ho seas.
The crimson field, the azure cross,
We see with more than sight!
The stars wo deemed forever set
Once moro shine through the night.
Forgotten are our fetters now,
Forgotten all our pain?
These riders bring a spell with them
And wo are free againl
Ho strauge they seem, there comes a doubt
If these be living men!
We cannot think we look upc n
That glorious host aga n.
i ( nero tney nae; and these not al!?
Wo see them far along;
itekind, before, by thousands more,
The old time squadrons throng.
There goes the Army of the North;
Therj Johnston and the West;
An angry wave that rolleth on
With bayonetted crest.
Onoe more the light of Jackson's sword
Far Hashes through the gloom;
There Ashby rides; and there, onoe more,
Tho toss of Stuart's plume!
Oh, life goes back ten years to-night,
And wc are men once more;
And this old hill is Arlington,
And there the alien shore:

The field we fought, the wood we he'd.
On yonder fearful (lay;
Now echo to the song of birds
Or sound of childish play.
And there where last we stood arrayed,
That last sad April mom,
Korg'tful Nature Hniiles again
With ranks of rimtling corn.
The flag that once did bravo a world!
From its proud standard riven.
Is folded from our sight, and now
Hath no place uuder heaven ?
Save in our hearts and in our homes
Where sadly, day by day,
The silent spiders fitting y,
Arc shnuding it in grey.
But see! the strange troop fades from sight,
The la*l tile disappears;
Wo cannot see them for the night,
Or for these blinding tears.
Now they are goni! and gone our dreini;
And darkly o'of the town,
And o'er our hearts, and o'er our past,
Once moro the night comes down.
And homeward now, with darkened brow,
Kach takes his silent way;
The thoughts that rite nithlu our hearts
We may not shout nor say.
Vet hail! ye gallant riders all;
Though none may spoak your praise,
I To see how, in a thousand eyes,
! A thousand welcomes blaae.
And many a kindly heart, I ween,
Doth bless your ride to day,
In that yo once more bring to sight
The wearing of the grey.
Not yet torgotton is our past!
Though we to day are dumb,
To night wo'll tell the old days o'er
And dream of one to come!

A Lame Tale.
I'bilip Sohuiuaokor, paying tollor of

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Thoro is only ono way to ouro doafnoss,

Doafnoss is oausod by an inflamod oonditon
of tho muoous lining of tho
Kustaohian Tubo. When this tubo
gets inflamod you havo a rumbling
sound or iinporfeot hoaring, and when
it is ontiroly oloscd deafness is tho rosult,
and unless tho inflammation oan
