J Wasinoton, Oct. 10.—This sermon by Dr 'aliuaso is peculiarly seasonable at the resent time, when the teeming hurves all over Uie land are awaiting the hihandmau.

The Frost. We all know that husking time was a time of frost. Frost on the fence. Frost on the stubble. Frost on the ground. Frost on the bare branches of the trees. Frost in the air. Frost on tho hands of J tho buskers. You remember we used to ! hide behind the corn stacks so as to | keep off the wind, but still you romnm- , lx;r how shivering was the body and how painful was the cheek and how be numbed were the hands. But after j awhile the stm was high up and all the j frosts went out of tho air, and hilarities awakened tho echoes and joy from one corn shock went up, “Aha, alia!’’ and was answered by joy from another corn shock, “Aha, aha!” So wo all realize that tho death of our friends is tho nipping of many ex- j pectations, tho freezing, the chilling, j the frosting of many of our hopes. It is far from- being a south wind It comes from tho frigid north, and when they go awa> ftsaa vm wo stand benumbed in , body and beuumlrd in mind and be- j numbed in sonl Wo stand among our | dead neighbors, our dead families, and wo say, “ Will we ever get over it?” | Yes. wo will get over if amid the shout- j i::g.) of heavenly reunion, ami we will j ijok bach to all those di: tresses of he- ,. v uv incut only as the temporary dis- f , tres. s of husking time. “Weeping may endure for a night, hut joy cometli in t.he morning. ” “l.ipjit, aud but for a ninmout, ” siiil tho apostle us he cl ;p- p» d his bands, “light, and but for a moment. ” Tlia chill of tho frosts fol- h '.vcd by the glauim.'-s that cometli in “like as a shook of corn cometli in in Ins s- u kki Of cuuv.'-o Uv« husking time m.v’m rough \v(/i>k frith' tho utr of <v.rn.

Tbo men take liold the shek of corn aud hurl it prostrate, who the moles and mice which have coled themselves th to for warmth atnr.pt escape- Tho,withe of straw is uirouml from tho corn shock, anti tho stais, heavy with the wealth of grain, are rolled into two bundles, between i wlrh tho busker sits down. Tho husk- ! ingpeg is thrust in until it strikes tho j cor, and then tho lingers rip off tho shething of the car, aud there is a ! crak as tho root of the corn is snapped ' off rom tho husk, and tho grain, disim- | prionetl, is hurletl up into the sunlight, i Tie air is so tonic, tho work is so ! ver exhilarating, tho company is so 1 bliao, that some laugh and some shout am some sing and some banter and sou) tease a neighbor for a romantic rid along tho edge of tho woods iu an evotide in a carriage that holds hut twiantl some prophesy as to the num- bemf bushels to tho field, and others go int competition us to which shall rilio thonost corn sliocks before sundown. ffter awhile the dinner horn sounds froi tho farmhouse, and tho table is snnnnded by a group of jolly and huL;ry men. From all the pantries and thex'llars anti the perches of fowl on tho;jlace the richest dainties come, and then are carnival and neighborhood re man and a scene which tills our mem- ory.part with smiles, hut more with tea*, as we remember that tho farm lie- long now to other owners, and other bans gather in the fields, and many of thos who mingled iu that merry husk ing-cene have themselves boon reaped “lib as a shock of corn cometh in in his easou. ” Tere is a difference of opinion as to wheher the orientals knew anything abot the corn as it stands iu oar fields, bat recent discoveries have found out thattbe Hebrew knew all about Indian mate, for there have been grains of tho conpicked np out of ancient crypts aud exirmed from hiding places where thej were put down many centuries ago,and they have been planted iu our tun aud havo come up just such Indi an laize as we raise in New York and OhU so I am right when I say that my text may refer to a shock of corn just as yu and 1 bound it, just as you and 1 thew it. just as you aud I husked it. Thee may come sonic practical and nsef I aud comforting lessons to all our aouii while we think of coming in at last 'like a shock of corn coming in iu his eason ” Ittv high time that the king of ter rors rere thrown out of tho Christian vocitHilary A vast multitude of people talk t death as though it were the dis aster ot di-asters instead of being to a good nan tho blessing of blessings. It is nxviug out of a cold vestibule into a wan. temple. It is migrating into grove of redolence and perpetual fruit age t is a change from bleak March to roaete Jana It ia a change of muna- clea fir garlands. It ia the trnnawutiug of th iron handcuffs of earthly inuar- ceratnn into the diamonded wristlets of a iridul party, or, to use the sugges tion ff my text, it is only husking time. It is the tearing off of the rough aheatbof the body that the bright and the bautifal soul may go free Com ing iu “like a shock of corn cometh in t i his aeaaou." Christ broke up a fa- eral procession at the gate of Nain by Aiakiig a resurrection day for a young Md his mother. And I would thst IVxiult break op yoor sadnesses and halt I trows win'll you know that they only forwarding thy soul’s liborutiou. I-'very rhoumatio pain is only a plunge on the hushing peg.

You mu.-t ; let tlio heavenly liusbandiunn husk off ; the mortality from tho immortality. Chronic Ailment*. There ought to bo great consolation in this for all who havo chronic uil- inonts, since the Lord is gradually and more mildly taking away Irotu you that which hinders your soul's libora- 1 tion, doing gradually for you what for many of us iu robust health perhaps be | will tlo in one foil blow at the last At i tho close of every illness, at tho close j of every paroxysm, you ought to say, “Thank God that is all past now, thank ; God I will never havo to Buffer that again,.thank God I am eo much nearer i tho hour of liberation. ” You will nev er suffer tho same pain twice. You may havo a new pain in an old place, but never the same pain twice. The pain does its work and then it dies. Just so many plunges of the crow bar to free the quarry stone for the building Jnst so many strokes of the chisel to complete the statue. Just so many pangs to separate tho soul from the Ixxly. You who have chronic ail ments and disorders are only paying in installments that which some of us will have to pay iu one payment when we pay tho debt of nature. Thank Gtxl, thi rt'foro, ye who havo chronic disorders, that you have so much less suffering at the last. Thank God that you will have so much less to feel iu the way of pain at the hands of tho heavenly Husband man when “tho shock of corn cometh iu in his seaif^i. “ Perhaps now this may bo an answer to a question which I asked one Bahbath morning, but did uot answer, Why is it thaft so many really good people have so dreadfully to suffer? You often find a good man with enough pains and aches and distresses, you would think, to discipline a whole colony, while you will find a man who is perfectly useless going around with easy digestion and steady nerves and shining health, and his exit from the world is comparutivo- ly painless. How do you explain that? Well, I noticed in '“the husking time that the basking peg jsras thrust into the com and then there mu|^ be a stout pull before the swathing was taken off of tho ear aud the full, round, healthy, luxuriant com was developed, while on tho other hand there was com that hardly seemed worth husking. We throw that into a place all by itself anti we called it “nubbins. “ * ••Nubbin#.” Some of it was mildewed, and some of it was mice nibbled, and some of it was great promise and no fnlfillmt nt All cobs and no com. Nubbins! After the good oora bad been driven up to tho bam we came around with the com basket and we picked up these nubbins. They were worth saving, bnt not worth mneh. So all around ns there are peo ple who amount to nothing. They de velop into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side by the world aud nibbled on the other side by the devil and mildewed all over. Great promise and no fulfillment. All oobs aud no ouru. Nubbins! They are worth saving. I suppose many of them will get to heaven, but they are not worthy to be mention ud iu tbo same day with tboae who vent through great tribulation into the king dom of our God. Who would uot rather have the pains of this life, the miafor- tunea of this life—-who would uot rath er be torn, aud wounded, and lacerated, and wrenched, and booked, and at last the Lord would not have husked you. You remember also that in the time ! of husking'it was a neighboring re- I union. By tho great fireplace in the winter, the tires roaring around the glorified backlogs on an old fashioned | hearth, of which the modern stoves and I r giftors arc only the degenerate de- sccnitanis. tho farmers used to gather ami spend the evening, aud there would bo much sociality, but it was not any- ; thing like the joy of the husking time, for then all tee farmers came, and they came iu the very best humor, and they came from bcypdd the meadow, and they camo from beyond the brook, nud they came* from tfgions two and three miles r.romid Good spirit reigned su preme, and there were great Inmdsliidr- ings and there was carnival, and there was tho recital of tho brightest experi ences in all their lives, and there was a neighborhood reunion tho memory of which makes all the nurves of my body rt rings of a,harp when tire linger^ of a player havo s»vt pt the chords. Tho husking time was tho time of neighborhood reunion, and so heaven ’‘will be just that. There they como tipi They si pt in tho old village chureii- yard. There they como up! They re- dined amid the fountains and the sculpture and th * parterres of a city cemetery There they ciuna up! Tin y went down when tho ship foundered off Capo Hut ter as. They co: up fn ;.I1 sides—from potter’s field and out cf the solid masonry of ^Yestmimti r ab bey They come up! They come up! All tho hindrances to their better na ture husked off All tki ir physical ail ments husked off. All their spiritual de* poudeiicus husked off. All their bin- dnmoos to usefulness husked off The grain, the. golden grain, the God fash- ; ioued grain, visible and conspicuous. | Bonto of them on earth were such dis- ! agreeable Christians you could h:ir’.ly stand it in their presence. Now in 1 heaven they are so radiant yon hardly | know them. Tho fact is, all their im- i perfection:, have been husked off They did uot mean on earth to lie tlisagrcea- j hi.'. They meant well enough, but tl ey told you how sick you looked, and they j told you how many hard things they ! had heard about you, and they told you ■ how oft ‘U they had to stand np for you ■ in some battles until you wished almost ' that they had been slain in'some of tho times. A Picture of Heaven. And eo it will In; in heaven. Orr Fa ther will gather liis children around him, and the neighbors will come in, and the past will be rehearsed. And some one will tell of victory, and V/t will all celebrate it. And some one will tell of great struggle, and we will all praise the grace that fetched him out id it And some one will say: “Here is my old father, that I put away with heartbreak. Just loeli at him. He is as young as any of us.” And some will say: “ Hero is my darling child, that 1 buried in Greenwood, and all the aftev years cf my life were, shadowed with d xo^utiwi.

Due night niter , displaying these jewels and leaving them on tho table, and all her friend: had gone, anti the bi-rvant.i had gout— one summer night—she sat thinking i and looking into a mirror just iu front tho window behind her anti gazing at those jewels. Hho was iu great fright, but sat still, aud hardly knowing why she did so she began to sing an old nurs ery song, her fears making the pathos of the song more telling. Suddenly she noticed while looking at the mirror that tho robber’s fnee had gouo from the window, and it did not come back A few days after tho prima donna received a letter from the robber, saying, “1 heard that tho jewels were to be out that night, and I came to take them at whatever hazard, but when I heard you sing that nursery song with which my mother so often sang me to sleep I could uot stand it and I fled, anil I have resolved upon a new aud an honest life. “ Oh, my friends, thoro are jewels iu peril richer than those which lay upon that table that night. They are the jewels of the immortal soul. Would God that some song rolling up out of the deserted nursery of your childhood or somo song rolling up out of tho corn fields, tho song of the buskers 20 or 40 years ago, might turn all our feet out of tho paths of sin into the paths of right- eoubiit-sit Would God that those memo ries wafted in on odor or song might start us this moment with swift feet to ward that blessed place where so many of our loved ones have already preceded us, “as a shock of corn cometh iu in his season. ” Compliment That Cost a Barrel of Apple#. A Stafford Springs man will probably uso discretion hereafter in distributing compliments. Ho had been collecting rents among the Italian tenements, aud at one house be commented to tho housewife on her baby. In a joking way he told the woman he would give her a rooster for tho baby. She did not seem then to be impressed with the offer, but a few days’ deliberation and probable consultation with her husband had an other effect, for on the following Sun day she appeared nt the man’s house and offered the baby, at the same time de manding tho rooster. It required a great amount of argument and explanation to convince the woman that there was no market for her child, even at such a rea sonable price, and she could uot be pt r- suaded to take it home again until she bad been promised a barrel of apples.— Kockvillo (Conn.)
