discouraged. If I go along tho street,
when I come to a corner of the stree t, 1
say, ‘The Lord help me.' I then go on
until I come, to another crossing of the
street, and again I say, ‘The Lord help
mo. ’ And so I utter a prayer at every
crossing, and since I have got into tho
habit of saying these ‘cross prayers’ I
have been able to keep up my courage.’’
Loam again from thi;i subject that
people sometime-; aro surprised to find
out thutwbut they have been struggling
with in the darkness is really an “angel
of blessing. ” Jacob found in the morn
ing that this strange perse,urge was not
an enemy, but a God dispatched messen
ger to promise prosperity for him and
for his children. And so many a man
at the close of his trial has found out
that he has been trying to throw down
his own blessing. If you are a Chris
tian man, I will go back in your his
tory and find thattho grandest things
that have ever happened to you have
been your trials. Nothing short of
scourging, imprisonment and shipwreck
could have made Paul what he wan.
Joseph's Hard Struggle.
When David was fleeing through tho
wilderness, pursued by his own sou, he
was being prepared to become tho sweet
singer of Israel. The pit and the dun
geon were the best schools at which Jo
seph ever graduated. The hurricane
that upset the tent and killed Joh'sj hil-
dron prepared the man of Uz to be the
subject of the magnificent poem that
has astounded the ages. There is no
way to get tho wheat out of the straw
but to thrash it. Them is no way to
purify tho gold hut to burn if. Look at
the people who have always had it their
own way. They are proud, discontent
ed, useless and unhappy. If you want fo
find cheerful folk, go among those who
have been purified by the fire. After
Rossini had rendered “William Tell”
tho five hundredth time a company of
musicians came under his window in
Paris and serenaded him. They put up
on Ills brow a golden crown of laurel
loaves. But amid all the applause and
enthusiasm Rossini turned to a friend
and said, “I would give all this bril
liant scene for a few days of youth and
love.” Contrast tho melancholy feeling
of Rossini, who had everything that
his world could give him, with the joy
ful experience of Is: an Watts, whoso
sorrows were great, when he saya:

T!»- tilisnt Habtt.
From awr.dlo with habit I have
seen m n fall back defeated. Calling
for no h-Ip, but relying on their own
resolutions, they have come into tho
struggl ■, and for a time it seemed as if
they were getting tho upper hand of
their hahit, i ut that habit rallied again
its infernal power and lifted tho soul
from it.; standing, aud with a force bor
rowed from tho pit hurled it into outer

But, thank Gad, I have often seen a
bettor termination than this. I have
seen men prepare themselves for kucIi
a wrestling. They laid hold of God’s
help as liny w ot into combat. The

It is prosperity that kills aud trouble
that saves. While the Israelites were on
tbo march, amid givut privations and
hardships, tiny behaved well. After
awhile they prayed for meat, and tins
sky darkened with a great flock of
quails, and these quails fell in great
multitudes all about them, and tho Is
raelites ate and ate an,) stuffed them
selves until they died. Oh, my friends,
It Is net hardship or irial or starvation
that injures the s pul, but abundant sup
ply. It is not the vulture of trouble that
eats up the Christian's life. It is tho
quails, it is the quails. You will yet
find out that your midnight wre, tie by
tbo brook Jabbck is with an angel of
God come down to bli ss uml to save.
The Marti uf the Strusglu,
Learn again that while our wrestling
with trouble might bo triumphant wo
must expect that it will leave its mark
upon us. Jacob prevailed, but tho angel
touched him, and his thigh bone sprung
from its socket, anrl the good man wont
limping on his way. We must carry
through this world the mark of the
combat. What plowed these premature
wrinkles in your face? What whitened
your hair before it was time for frost?
What silenced forever so much of the
hilarity of your household? Ah, it is
because the angel of trouble bath touch
ed you that you go limping ou your
Way. You need not bo surprised that
those who have passed through the fire
do not feel as gay as once they did. Do
not bo out of patience with those who
eomn not out of their despondency.
They may triumph over their loss, and
yet their gait shall tell you that they
have been trouble touched. Are we sto
ics that wo can unmoved see our cradle
rifled of the bright eyes and tho sweet
lips? Can wo stand unmoved and boo |
our gardens of earthly d< light uprooted?
Will Jesus, who wept himself, bo an
gry with us if we isiur our tears into i
tho graves that, open to swallow down I
what we loved best? Was Lazarus more
dear to him than our beloved dead to i
us? No. Wo have a right to weep. Our
tears must come. You shall not drive :
them hack to scald the heart. They fall ;
into God’s 1 attic. Afflicted ones have
died because they could not weep, i
Thank God for the sweet, the mysteri
ous relief that comes to us iu tears. Un
der this gentle rain tho flowers of hope
put forth their bloom. God pity that
dry, withered, parched, all consuming
grief that wrings its hands and grinds
its teeth and bites its nails into the
quick, but cannot weep. We may have
found the comfort of the cross aud yet
ever after show that in the dark night
and by the brook Jabbok we were trou
ble touched.

Again wo may take the idea of tho
text and announce the approach of tho
day dawn. No one was ever more glad
to see the morning than was Jacob after
that night of t'ruggle. it in appropri

pects are brightening. .Superstition has
had it« «trong«st props knocked out.
The tyrants of sarlli are falling flat in
the dust. Tho church of Cln ist is rising
up hi Its strength to go forth, “fair ns
tbo morn, clear as the sun and terrible
as an army with banners.” Clap your
hands, all yo people, “tho day break-
rth.”
As I look around about mo I see
many who have passed through waves
of trouble that came up higher than
their girdle. In God’s name I proclaim
i cessation of hostilities. You Bhall not
always go saddem d and heartbroken.
God will lift your burden. God will
bring j our dead to life. God will stanch
the heart’s bleeding. I know be will.
Like as a father piticth his children, so
tho Lord pities you. The pains of earth !
will oud. Tho tomb will burst. Tho
dead will riso. The morning star trem

Luther and Melnnehthou were talking
together gloomily about the prospects of
tbo church. They could see no hope of
deliverance. After awhile Luther got
i up and said to Melanchthou, “Come,
Philip, let us ning the Forty-sixth
Psalm, ‘God is our refuge and strength
iu every time cf trouble. ’ ”
The I. mt Wrestle.
Death to many, nay, to all, is a
struggle and a wrestle, \vo have many
friends whom it would bo hard to leave,
I caro not how bright our future hope
is. It is a bitter thing to look upon this
' fair world and know that wo Khali uev-
i cr again see its blos-oming spring, its
! autumnal fruits, its sparkling streams
and to say farewell to those with whom
! wo played in childhood cr counseled in
| manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we
may have to wrestle, but God will not
- leave us unblessed. It shall not bo told
‘ in heaven that a dying soul cried unto
I God fur help, but was not delivered.
I The lattice may bo turned do keep out
j the sun or a book set to dim the light
of the midnight taper, or the room may
i be filled with the cries of orphanage or
' widowhood, or tho church of Christ
may mourn over our going, but if Jmis
calls all is well. Tho strong wrestling
by the brook will cease, tho hours of
death’s night will pass along, 1 o’clock
| in the morning, 4 o’clock in the morn
ing, 5 o’clock iu the morning, ‘‘tho
day broaketii. ”
So I would have it when I die. I am
in no haste to be gone. I would like to
stand hero 20 years and preach this gos
pel. I havo no grunge against this
world, ttie only fault I have to find
with this world is that it treats mo too
well. But when the tinio comes to go
I trust to bo ready, my worldly affairs
all settled. If I have wronged otlr re, I
want then to bo sure of their forgive
ness. In that last wrestling, my arm
enfeebled with sickness anil my head
faint, I want Jesus hostile me. If there
bo hands on this side of tho flood stretch

me forward. Then, O Jesus, help me

Tho Czar os an Autocrat.
The Wiener Tagblatt, au influential
Austuian journal, has found au extraor
dinary reason for praising the demeanor
of the czar. Ho actually allowed Mine.
Fauro and IMme. Brisson, who are not
oven hoffahg, to (line at tho same table,
with himself and the czarina. Such a
concession to republican principles
would, the journuliHt continues, be ab
solutely impossible iu Vienna, where,
though a low born man might bo ad
mitted to tho emperor’s table, his wife
never could be. Tbo fact is correct and
was ouce tho occasion of a curious scene
at tho Hofburg when the emperor had to
exert his personal authority to obtain
partners for his premier’s daughter, but
our contemporary surely mistakes tho
feeling of the czar. In his mind, as in
that of every true autocrat, there is no
rank except that derived from his favor.
His notice, in fact, as Nicholas J once
openly said, of itself confers rank. The
well born iu Russia havo social ad
vantages, ns everywhere cIbo, but Pet< r
the Great’s ablest minister was a cook
or sutler, and the tradition has never
been forgotten. In Russia, as in every
oriental country without exception, all
careers are as open ns in the United
States.—London Spectator.

Issacbar, the Scriptures tell us (never
mind about tho purl Scalars of the de-
Bcription), "stoopetb between two bur
dens.” Mr. Lamed, in his general sur
vey cf the mission of books and of news
papers, Is disposed to lay upon cr jour
nalistic Issr.chnr a burden grievous to
[ bo borne. Others have another back
; load ready for his patient dorsalities.
A few remarks of a different tenor may
i therefore be in order at this stage of tho
! march of civiliza'ion, in which upon
any theory Issachar has a vested Intcr-
; est.
At the Swiss national exposition of
this year the newspapers of that small
republic made a display of their forces,
mustering in unexpected numbers. A
volume of more than f>00 pag'-s, contain
ing a catalogue of ROOIf journals of all
forms and every kind published in the
| cantons, was brought out, and in if were
j monographs of history, literature, etc.,
relating to the origin and development
j of Swiss journalism, which appears to
be the growth of just one century. The
j oldest of the Swiss papers hardly dates
I before 179(1, and there aro. but half a
dozen which are 100 years old. A few
others aro more than 00 years, but most
of the thousand are of the second half
cf tbo century. 'J be Swiss of the eight
eenth century and well ii.:n the nine
teenth lived without newspaper;, as
they did without doctors and dentists,
says this volume, and got along well
without them. But now every one reads
and scolds as ho reads. Tho editor of
this book recalcitrates a little at this.
Ho says:
“Would that the government whose
faults wocoverup, the politicians whoso
speeches wc correct, tho parties whoso
platforms we publish, tho election com
mittees whom wc lead to victory or
whoso defeat we disguise, tho incapable
Candidate whom wo hold up ns a great
man, the manufacturer whoso advertise
ment gets slipped in, the trader who
craves our kindness, the financier who
begs our services, the hotel keeper who
briugs us bills of faro from which others
havo eaten, tho artist who extoits big
adjectives for a very little painting, tho
author who bores us with bis dull vol
umes, the public which assails ns with
reclamations—in short, the whole world
of unreasonable grumblers—could thunk
us for our inexhaustible and childish
good nature and compensate ns by grat
itude and respect for the endless bother
they hove given ns. But, nn! The jour
nalist iu Switzerland is taken for n
kind of drudge, of whom anything can
be exacted, who owes something to
everybody and to whom nobody ever
thinks of paying anything whatsoever.
In this childlike ingratitude of tho pub
lic we find a lofty satisfaction, unattain
able by common men—the consoling
knowledge that we aro better than our
reputation, that we are creditors of
many rich folks without ever raising a
finger to collect the debt. Ah, the draft
the)' set to our lips is wholesome—and
exquisitely bitter. For the man eon-
fcIous of strength disdain is u divine
dose. ’ ’
With some ex:’.ggerntions this is a pic
ture of the press everywhere. But there
are compensations, and there is perhaps
“a good time coming,”-r.s thufcuu&tfuyjt
The same lively writer goes on to say,
‘.’The part that journalism playw in onr
public uud social life broadens from
year to year and will ever increase.”
This is true of America no less than of
Switzerland, and the exhortation which
follows there is equally in place hero:
“That journalism Hhquid always be
beneficial depends (in ourselves, ou the
estimation, more or Iors high, in which
we hold our noble profession, on our
self respect, ou our freedom of speech
uud our courage iu presence of power.
Let Its avoid toadies and ilatlerers, ac
cept presents from no one, remember
that wealth is often dishonor and pover
ty no crime. Let us seek no other re
ward than tho witness of a good con
science. If wo aro truthful and sincere,
wo Bhall bo listened to and respected.”
Poor Issachar must drop his ears, take
up his load aud jog on with this encour
agement.
The Star Slrluo.
Tho lato Alvan Clark of Cambridge-
port, Muss., discovered in 18i!2 that tho
star Sirius had a far less brilliant com
panion. Continued observation for near
ly 110 years proved that this second body
revolved around the first one in an ellip
tical orbit, at n distance nearly as great
as tho planet Neptune from the sun.
But In 1890 tho companion disappeared
from view, having reached a point in
its track so nearly in line with Sirius
that its faint light was overwhelmed by
tho dazzling elTulgi nco of tho dogstnr.
During tho last six years it has traveled
far enough to become visible ouce more.
Dr. T. J. J. See of the University of
Chicago, temporarily at the Lowell ob
servatory, Flagstaff, A. T., rediscovered
the satellite on tho other Bide of its pri

now estimated to be about GJHg years.—
