I
Washikoto:!, Deo. 13.—In this ser
mon from n Biblo scene never used in
■ermonio discourse Dr. Talmnga drnws
■ome startling lessons and tears off the
mask of deceit. The test is I Kings xiv,
fl, “Why feignest thou thyeolf to be an
other?'’
In the palace of wicked Jeroboam
there is a sick child, a very sick child.
Medicines have failed; skill is exhaust
ed. Yonng Abijah, the prince, has lived
^Jon^T enough to become very popular,
and yet bo nmst die unless some super
natural aid be afforded. Death oomes
np the broad stairs of the palace and
■wings back the door of the sickroom of
royalty and stands looking at tho dying
prince with tho dart uplifted. Wicked
Jeroboam knows that ho has no right to
ask anything of tho Lord in the way of
kindness. Ho knows that his prayers
would not bo answered, and so ho scudi
his wife on the delicate aud tender mis
sion to the prophet of tho Lord in Shi
loh. Putting aside her royal attire, she
puts on the garb of a peasant woman
and starts on tho road. Instead of car
rying gold and gems, as she might havo
carried from tho palace, she carries only
those gifts which seem to indicate that
she belongs to tho peasantry—a few
loaves of bread and a few cracknels and
a cruso of honey. Yonder she goes, hood
ed and veiled, tho greatest lady in all
tho kingdom, yet passing unobserved.
No ouo that meets her on the highway
has any idea that she is the first lady in
all tho land. Sbo is a queen in disguise.
The fact is that Peter tho Great work
ing in tho drydocks of Saardnm, tho sail
or’s hat and tho shipwright’s ax gave
him no more thorough diRguisc than tho
gafb of tho peasant woman gave to tne
queen of Tirznh. But tho prophet of tho
Lord saw tho deceit. Although his phys
ical eyesight had failed, ho was divine
ly illumined, and at one glance looked
through tho imposition and ho cried out:
“Comoin, then wifoof Jeroboam! Why
’ feignest thou thyself to ho another? I
have evil tidings for thee. Get thee
back to thy house, and when thy feet
touch the gate cf tho city the child
shall die.” .She had a right to ask for
the recovery of her son. Sho had no
right to practice nn imposition. Broken
hearted now, she started on the way,
the tears falling on the dust of tho road
all the way from Shiloh to Tirzah.
Broken hearted now, she is not careful
any more to hide her queenly gait and
nmnucT. True <o tho prophecy, tho mo
ment her feet touch tho gate of the city
tho dies. As sho goes in tho soul
of tho child goes out. Tho cry lu the
palace is joined by tho lamentation of
a nation, and as they carry good Abijah
to hia gravo tho air is filled with tho
voice cf calogy for tho departed youth
aud the groan cf an nfilictcd kingdom.
Deceit ami Duplicity.
It is for no insignificant pnrposo that
I present you the thrilling story of tho
text. In tho first place I learn that wick
edness involves others, trying to make
them its dupe«, its allies and its scape
goats. Jeroboam proposed to hoodwink
the Lord’s prophet. How did ho do it?
Did ho go and dotho work himself? No.
He cent his wife todo it. Hers tho peril
of exposure, hcrathe fatigue of the way,
hers tho execution of tho plot; his,
nothing. Iniquity is n brag, but it is a
great coward. It lays tho plan and gets
someone oIro to exccnte it; puts down
tho gunpowder train and gets some onn
else to touch it off; contrives mischief
and gets some one else to work it; starts a
lio and getsromo one else to circulate it.
In nearly all tho great crimes of tho
world it is found out that theso who
planned tho arson, tho murder, tho
theft, tho fraud go free, v/hilc these who
were decoyed and cheated and hood
winked into tho conspiracy olank tho
chain aud mount tho gallows.
Aaron Burr, with heart Ailed with
impurity and ambition, plots for tho
overthrow of tho United States govern
ment aud gets off with a few threats
undo littlocensure, while Blcnncrbas-
sett, tho learned Blenucrhassett, tho
■wcet tempered Bleunerhr.ssett, is de
coyed by him from tho orchards, and
tho laboratories, and the gardens, and
tho homo on tho baukef tho Ohio river,
and his fortunes ::ro scattered, and ho is
thrown into prison, and his family,
brought up in luxury, is turned out to
dio. Abominable Aaron Burr lias it
•comparatively easy. Kwoet tempered
Elennerhiissrtt baa it hard. Benedict
Arnold proposed to sell out the forts of
tho United States, to surrender tho Rev
olutionary army end to destroy tho
United titati.i government. Ho gets off
with his pocket.i full of pounds sterling,
while Major Andre, the hrnvo and tho
brilliant, is decoyed into tho conspiracy
and sufiert on tho gibb< t on tho hanks
of tho Hudson, r » that even tho litera-
tnro, tho marble tablature, that com
memorated that event has been blasted
by midnight desperadoes. Benedict Ar
nold ha i it easy. Major Andre has it
hard. I have noticed that nine-tenths of
those who suffer for crimes are merely
tho satellites of some great villains. Ig
nominious fraud is a juggler which, by
sleight of hand and legerdemain, makes
the gold that it stolo appear in some
body else's pocket. Jeroboam plots the
lie, contrives tho imposition aud geta
bis wife to execute it. btand off from
all imposition and chicanery. Do not
consent to bo anybody’s dupe, anybody’s
ally iu Wicked liens, anybody's acupc-
goat
llchluil a Monk.
Tbo idury of tho text also impresses
in« with the fuel that royalty sometimes
pusses in disguise. Tho frock, tho veil,
the hood of the pc-iHniit woman hid the
tpi'enly ohuruetir < f this woman of Tir-
xuh. Nobody suspected that she was a
qn.on nr n princess us she pas.-**) by,
but ubo tint jkiet iu unu h u queen as
though she stood in the palace, her
robes inernsted with diamonds. And so
all around about us there are princesses
and queens whom tho world does not
recognize. They sit. on no throne of roy
alty, they ride in no chariot, they elicit
no hnzza, they make no pretense, but by
tho grace of God they are princesses and
they are queens. Sometimes in their
poverty, sometimes in their self denial,
sometimes in their hard struggles of
Christian service, God knows they arc
querns. The world does not recognize
them. Royalty passing in disguise 1
Kings without the crown, conquerors
wirhont tho palm, empresses without
tho jewel! You saw her yesterday on
the street. Yon saw nothing important
in her appearance, bnt she is regnant
over a vast realm of virtue and goodness
—a realm vaster than Jeroboam over
looked nt. You went down into the
house of destitution and want and suf
fering. You saw tho story of trial writ
ten on tho wasted hand of the mother,
on the pale cheeks of tho children, on
tho empty broad tray, on the fireless
hearth, on tho broken chair. Yon would
not have given a dollar for all tho fur
niture in the house. But by the grace of
God sho is a princess. The overseers of
tho poor come there and discuss tho case
and say, “It’s a panpor. ” They do not
realize that God has burnished for her a
crcwn, and that after she has got
through tho fatiguing journey from Tir-
zah to Shiloh, and from Shiloh back to
Tirzah, there will be a throne of royalty
on wl tch she shall rest forever. Glory
veiled, affluence hidden, eternal rap
tures hushed up, a queen in mask, a
princess in disguise I
When yon think of a queen, you do
not think of Catherine of Russia or Ma
ria Theresa of Austria or Mary, qncen
of Scots. When yon think of a queen,
you think of a plain woman who sat op
posite your father at the table or walked
with him down the path of life arm in
arm—sometimes to tho Thanksgiving
banquet, sometimes to the grave, but
always side by aide, soothing your littlo
sorrows and adjusting your little quar
rels, Istening to your evening prayer,
tolling with the needle or at the spin
ning whe-1 and on cold nightc tucking
you up snug and warm, and then on
that dark day when sbo lay a-dying,
patting those thin hands that had toiled
for you so long—putting them together
in a dying prayer commending yon to
that God in whom she had taught you
to trust. Oh, sho was tho queen—she
was the qncen! Yon cannot think of her
now withont having the deepest emo
tions of your soul stirred, and yon feel
as if you could cry as though you were
now sitting in infancy on her lap, and
if yon call her back to speak your name
with the tenderness with which sho once
spoke, yon would bo willing now to
throw yourself on tho sod that covers
her grave, crying, ‘‘Mother, mother!”
Ah, she was a queen! Your father knew
It. You know it. Sho was tho qneen,
but tho queen in disguise. The world
did not recognize it.
A G ratal DlNgutao.
But there was a grander disguising.
Tho favorite of a great house looked out
of tho window of his palace and ho saw
that the people were carrying heavy
burdens and that some of them wore hob
bling on crutches, and he saw sumo ly
ing at the gate exhibiting their sores,
and then ho heard their lamentation and
he said, “I will just put on tho clothes
of those poor people, and I will go down
and see what their sorrows are, and I
will sympathize with thorn, aud I will
bo one of them, aud I will help them.”
Well, tho day came fer him to start.
Tho lords cf tho land came to see him
off. All who could sing joined in the
parting song, which shook the hills and
woke up tho shepherds. Tho first few
nights ho has been sleeping with the
hostlers and Ihc camel drivers, for no
one knew there was a king in town. He
wont among the doctors of tho law, as
tounding them, for, without any doc
tor’s gown, ho know more law than tho
doctors, lie fished with tho fishermen,
he smote with his own hammer in tho
carpenter's shop, he ate raw corn out of
the field, he fried fish on tho banks of
Gouneaaret. He was howled at by crazy
peoplo in the tombs, he was splashed of
tho surf of tho sea, a pilgrim withont
any pillow, a sick man without any
medicament, a mourner with no sym-
pathetie bosom in which ho could pour
his tears. Disguise complete 1 1 know
that occasionally his divine royalty
flashed out, as when in tbo storm on
Galilee, as in tho red wine nt tho wed
ding banqnet, as when he freed the
shackled demoniac of Gadara, us when
he turned a whole school of fish into the
not of tho discouraged boatmen, ns when
ho throbbed life into the shriveled arm
of tho paralytic; but fur tho most part
lie was in disguise. No one saw tho
king's jewels in his sandal; no one leivv
tho royal robo iu his pluiu coat; no one
knew that that shelterless Christ owned
all tho mansions iu which the hierarchs
of heaven had their habitation; nono
knew that that hungered Christ owned
all tho olive groves and all the harvests
which shook their gold on the hills of
Palostino; no ouo know that ho who
said, ”1 thirst!” poured tho Kuphrates
out of his own chalice; no one know
that the occu'i lay in tho palm of his
hand like a dowdrop iu the vase of n
lily; no one know that tho stars aud
moons and suns and gulaxiea and con-
atcllations that marched on age after
age were, us compared with his life
time, the sparkle of a firefly on a Hum
mer night; no one knew that tho sun in
midhouveu was only tho shadow of his
throne; no one know that his crown of
universal dominion was covered up with
abunehof thorns. Omnipotence sheath
ed iu a human body, omniscience hid
den iu a human eye, infinite Jovo beat
ing in a human heart, everlasting har-
monies subdued into a human voice,
royalty on musque, Rruudcuw of heaven
iu earthly disguisol
MmUs Torn Off.
My subject also inipressia mo with
how people put on musks and how the
Lord tears them off. It was a terrible
moment iu tho history of this woumu
of Tirzah when the prophet accosted in r,
practically -faying: ”1 kuow who you
are. You caunot cheat mo. You cannot
impepu upon mo. Why foiguost thou
thyself to bo another?” She had a right
to ask for tho restoration of her son. She
had no right to practice that falsehood.
It is never right to do wrong.- Some
times you may bo able to conceal an af
fair. It is not necesRary to tell every-
thing. There is a natural pressure to the
lips which reems to indicate that silence
sometimes i* right, but for double deal
ing, for moral shuffling, for counterfeit
and . for sham God has nothing but
anathema and exposure. He will tear off
tho lio. Ho will rip up tho empiricism.
Ho will ccntter tho ambnscade. There
are peoplo who ore just ready to he
duped. They seem to be waiting to be
deceived. They believe lu ghosts. They
saw one themselves once. They beard
something strange in an uninhabited
house. Going along tho road one night,
something approached thorn in white
and crossed the road. They would think
it very disastrous to count tho numbor
of carriages at a funeral. They hoard in
a neighbor’s house something that por
tended death in tho family. They say
it is a sure sign of evil if a bat fly into
a room on a summer night or they see
tho morn over the left shoulder. They
would not for tho world undertake any
enterprise on Friday, forgetful of tho
fact that if they look over tho calendar
of the world they will see that Friday
has been the most fortunate day iu all
the history of the world.
As near as I can toll, looking over the
calendar of tho world’s history, more
grand, bright, beautiful things have
happened on Friday than any other day
of the week. They would not for the
world begin anything on Friday. They
would not for tho world go back to
tho house for anything after they
had once started. Such people are
ready to bo duped. Ignorance comes
along, perhaps in the disguise of med
ical science, and carries them captive,
for there are always some men who havo
found some strange aud mysterious weed
in some strange place aud plucked it lu
the moonshine, and then they cover the
board fences with tho advertisements of
“elixir” and “panaceas” and “Indian
mixtures” aud ‘‘ineffable cataplasms”
and “unfailing disinfectants” and
“lightning salves” aud ’ , instantaneous
ointments,” enough to stun and scarify
and poultice and ' kill half tho race.
They arc all ready to be wrought upon
by such impositions. Ah, my friends,
do not bo among such dupes. Do not act
tho part of such persons as I havo been
describing. Stand back from all chi
canery, from all imposition. They who
practice such imposition shall bo exposed
in the day of God’s indignation. They
may rear great fortunes, but their dap
ple grays will bo arrested on the road
Fonm day, as was tho ass by tho angel
of God with drawn sword. Tho light of
tho last day will shine through all such
subterfuges, and, with a voice louder
than that which accosted this imposition
of tho text: "Como in, thou wifoof Jer
oboam. Why feignest thou thyself to bo
another?” with a voice louder than that
God will thunder down into midnight
darkness and doom and death all two
faced meu, and all charlatans, and all
knaves, and all jockeys, and all swind
lers. Behold how tho people put on the
macks and behold how tho Lord tours
them off I
Fixed Frovldonce.
My subject also impresses mo with
how precise and accurate and particular
are God’s providences. Just at the mo
ment that woman entered tho city the
child died. Just as it was prophesied,
so it turned out, so it always turns out.
The event occurs, the death takes place,
the nation is born, tho despotism is
overthrown nt the appointed time. God
drives the universe with a stiff rein.
Events do not just happen so. Things
do not go slipshod. In all tho book of
God’s providences there is not ouo “if. ”
God’s providences are never caught iu
dishabille. To God there arc no surpris
es, no disappointments aud no accidents.
The most insignificant event flung out
in the ages is the connecting link be
tween two great chains—tho chain of
eternity past and the chain of eternity
to come.
1 am no fatalist, but I should bo com
pletely wretched if I did not feel that
ail tho affairs of my life are iu God’s
hand, and all that pertains to me and
mine, just us certainly as all tho affairs
of this woman of tho text, as this child
of tho text, as this king of the text, wore
iu God's hand. You may ask mo a hun
dred questions I cannot answer, but I
sbal! until the day of my death believe
tluit 1 am under tho unerring care of
God, and the heavens may fall, and tho
world may burn, and tho judgment may
thunder, and eternal ages may roll, hut
not a hair shall fall from my head, not
u shadow shall drop on my path, not a
sorrow shall transfix my heart without
being divinely arranged—arranged by a
loving, sympathetic Father. Ho bottles
our tears, he catches our sorrows, and
to tho orphan ho will be a Father, and
to tho widow ho will be a husband, and
to the outcast he will be a home, ami to
tho most miserable wretch that this day
crawls up out of tho ditch of his abom
ination crying for moroy he will ho an
all pardoning God. Thu rocks shall turn
gray with age, aud the forests Hindi be
unmoored in tho last hurricane, and tho
uun shall shut its fiery eyelid, and tho
stars Khali drop Tike blasted figs, aud tho
continents shall go down like anchors
in the deep, and the ocean shall benvo
its last groan and lush itself with expir
ing agony, and the world shall wrap it
self in a winding sbeemf flame and leap
on the funeral pyre of the judgment
day, but God's love shall not die. It
will kindle its suns after all other lights
have gone out. It will bo a billowy sea
after the last ocean has wept itself away.
It will warm itself by the Are of a con
suming wond. It will aing while tho
archangel's trumpet is pooling forth and
the air is filled with tho crush of broken
sepulchres and tho rush of tho wings of
the rising dead. Oh, may God comfort
all this people with this (Jhristiuu seuti*

NEW ARTIFICIAL SILK.
It I* Mode From Wood Pulp, Old Itnga
and Vegetable Wante.
An interesting now product, to bo
seen at the Philadelphia museums, 233
South Fourth street, is artificial silk,
which is made from wood pulp, old
rags, cotton stalks nnd various other
sorts of vegetable waste. From informa
tion received from correspondents iho
museums aro enabled to give a descrip
tion of tbo process of this new fabric.
All vegetable fiber, such as wood, flax,
cotton and jute, may by a process of di
gestion—treatment by acids and alkailes
—be reduced to what, iu tho commerce
of chemistry, iu known as cellulose. In
other words, they become mere cellular
tissue, the substance secreted by tho liv
ing protoplasm of n vegetable cell in or
der to form its investing membrane or
cell wall. Cellulose is indeed made from
wood pulp, the debris from cotton, jute
and other spinning industries, etc., for
a variety of commercial purposes, and
it is this material which is the basis of
artificial silk.
The process of preparation of this fluid
is a purely chemical one. It is in the
subsequent treatment of the fluid and its
conversion into a textile fiber that tho
main interest centers, from an industrial
point of view. This process is shown in
operation npon a machine which is a
modification of the ordinary flier spin
ning frame. Tho fluid, a muddy, yel
lowish substance, isooutained iu a glass
jar, from which it is convoyed through
pipes to a row of small bent glass tubes,
each having nn extremely fine nozzle
or orifice. These tubes arc arranged in
a hollow trough of water, the orifice be
ing beneath tho water level. As tho
flnid leaves the nozzle the water removes
60 per cent of the solvent, nnd the fluid
immediately coagulates and it is drawn
off in a remarkably fine filament of
brilliant luster and, when dry, of great
est tenacity. Half a dozen such fila
ments arc gathered together and spun.
The yarn can be spun to any thickness
of count, aud a thread, it is claimed, is
of even diameter throughout, unbroken,
and it may bo produced of unlimited
length.
The artificial silk will stand washing
and ironing without losing luster cr
without any impairment of color.
A company has been formed to men-
ufnctnre it, with a capital of £108,000.
Its works are near Manchester, Eng
land. Tho samples now on exhibition nfc
the Commercial museums show nil tho
patterns that have as yet been turned
out. It is believed that samples of this
fabric arc to bo soon nowhere elso in
this country.
It is being turned out in Englnud for
the South American markets nt a price
of 0^ pence (10 cents) per yard, and tho
fabric is made of a uniform width cf
19^ inches. It seems likely that the
new wood silk will come into general
use for goods in which an attractive ap
pearance is more desired than lasting
qualities, snob as fringe, braid, gimp,
neckties, etc.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Grant and tin* 1’hronoloclnt.
Of this famous incident there aro two
versions. Tho father’s story rnns thus:
“When Ulysses was about 13 years
old, tbo first phrenologist who ever
made his appearance in that part of the
country came to our neighborhood. One
Dr. Buckner, in order to test the accu
racy of the phrenologist, asked him if ho
would bo blindfolded nud examine a
head. The phrenologist replied that ho
would. So they blindfolded him, and
then brought Ulysses forward to havo
his head examined.
“He felt it all over for romo time,
saying to himself:‘It is no very com
mon head. It is an extraordinary head!’
At length Dr. Buckner broke in with
the inquiry whether tho hoy would bo
likely to distinguish himself iu mathe
matics.
“Yea,” said tho phrenologist, “In
mathematics or anything else. It would
not ho Strang*) if wc should soo him
president of the United atntes. ”
The village version of tho incident is
quite different. With all his shrewdness
and energy, tho neighbors say, there
was a strain of singular gnilelessnoss in
Jpsro Grant. Ho was credulous and sim
ple—iu tho old meaning of tho word
simple.
According to their report, Dr. Buck
ner was only putting up a practical joke
on his neighbor Grant. As tho timid
and blushing Ulysses was pushed for
ward to the platform the crowd began
to titter, nnd tho quick wilted lecturer
seized upon tho situation.—Hamlin

A Itluut Young OuiH-n.
Here are three stories of tho young
qneen of Holland, illustrative of her
outspoken frankness. When sho waa
told of tho atrocities of the Duke of Al
va and of the cruel policy of the ypnn-
ih)i kings toward her country, she be
came indignant and exclaimed, "I am
very angry, aud after that the king of
Spain must never expect that i shall in
vite him to my court. ” She speaks out
and fears no one. Her frankness has
sometimes caused her to regret her
words. For instance, on ouo ocoasinn
she was sitting to tho painter Joaselin
do Jongc, when sho exclaimed to her
mother in French, “Mother, this cver-
1 anting painter will boro me to death!"
After a few momenta the painter stop
ped and in the best of French said,
"That will do for today." When asked
by the Prince of Wales during her visit
to England how sho liked tho English
people, ahu replied that she was aston
ished at their being so nice and amiable.
“I should never havo thought it from
the specimens I have aoen iu Holland”
—a remark that is said to have amused
tho prince greatly.
