Probate J udge. tiro womd not bnrn or not bako or somethin? was tnr black that og^ht to have been only turned brown, or Martha eculdcd her self, and. forgottin? all the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow she rut lied out of the kitchen into the parlor, perhaps with tongs in one hand and pitcher in the other, and rho cried out; “Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left mo to serve alone? Bid h< r therefore that she help me. ” Christ scolded not a word. If it vvero scolding, I would rather have him scold mo than anybody else bless me. There was nothing acerb in the Baviour’s re ply. ITo knew that Martha had been working herself almost to death to get him something to eat, and he appre ciated her kindness, and ho practically said: “My dear woman, do not worry. Let the dinner go. Sit down here on this couch beside your younger sister, Mary. Lot us talk about something clsa Martha. Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful. ” As Martha throws open the door I look in today, and I see a great many household anxieties, perplexities, fa tigues and trials, and about them I am going to speak if the Lord of Mary and Martha and Lazarus will help mo by his grace. Ilouxchold Perplexities end Trials. As 1 look into that door, in the first place, I see the trial of nonappreeiatjou That was what made Martha so vexed at Mary. Mary, the younger sister, had no proper estimate of the elder sister’s fatigue. Just as now men having an noyances of store and factory and shop, or at tho fltock Exchange, come home at night and hear of some household an noyance, and* they say; “Oh, that’s nothing! You ought to be in n factory a day and have 10 pr 15 or 20 or 100 subordinates. Then yon would know something about annoyance and trou ble. ” Oh, man, let mo tell you that a wifo and a mother has to conduct at the same time a university, n clothing establishment, a restaurant,a laundry, a library, and has to bo health officer, nolieo and president pf the whole realm I che has to do a thousand things, and to do them well, in order to make things go smoothly, and that ie what puts the awful tax on a woman’s nerves and a woman’s brain. I know there are exceptions to tho rule. Sometimes you will find a woman who can sit in the armchair of tho library fill day without any anxiety, or tarry on tho belated pillow, and all tho cares of tho house hold ore thrown upon servants who have largo wages and great experience; but that is tho exception. I speak of tho great masses of housekeepers, to whom life is a straggle, and Vho 80 years of ago look as though they were 40. The fallen at Thalons and Auster- litz and Gettysburg and Waterloo are a small number in compa’dison with those who have gone down under the Armageddon of the kitchen. Go out to the country and look over tho epitaphs on tho tombstones. They are all beauti ful and poetic, but. if the tombstones could tell the truth thousands of them would say, “Here lies a Wfltnan who was killed by too much mending aud sewing and baking and scouring and scrubbing, ’’ and the weapon with which dally so cigars and dines He will be very apt to enj ’-economy at homo. That is what" thousands of women—tho attempt to make §5 do tho work of §7. It is amaz ing how some men dole out money to the household. If you have not got the money, say eo. If you have, be cheer ful in tho expenditure. Your wifo will be reasonable. “How long does the honeymoon last?’’ said a young woman about to enter tho married state to her mother. Tho mother answered, “Tho honeymoon lusts until you ask your husband for money.” “How much do you want?” “A dollar.” “A dollar 1 Can’t you get along with 50 cents? You are always wanting n dollar." This 30 years’ war against high prices, this everlasting attempt to bring tho outgo within the income, has exhausted multitudes of housekeepers. Let mo say to such, it is a part of the divine dis cipline. If it were best for you, all- you would have to do would bo just to open the front windows and tho ravens would fly in with food, and after you bad baked 50 times from tho barrel in the pantry, like tho barrel of Zorcphath, tho barrel would be full, and the chil dren’s shoes would last ns long as tho shoes of tho Israelites in tho wilderness —40 years. Will Make the Contrunt Brighter. Oh, my friends, all these trials and fatigues of home life are to prepare you for heaven, for they will make that tho brighter in tho contrast I A dying sol dier was asked by a friend, “Have you any message to send to your father?” “Yes,” said ho; “toll him I have gone home.” "Well, ” said the friend, “have y<JU any message to send to your wife?” “Yes; tell her I have gopo home.” “Yon have other friends. Would you like to send a message to them?” “Yes; give them tho sumo message. They will understand it. Tell them I have gone home.” And that heavenly homo will compensate, will fully atone, for all the hardships and the trials and the an noyances and the vexations of the earth ly homo. In that laud they never hun ger, and consequently there will bo no nuisance of catering for appetite. In that land of the white robes they have no mending to do, and the air of that hilly country makes them all well. No rent to pay there. Every man owns his ©wo hptise, opd a Bumsion at that It will not be so groat a change to step into the chariot of the skies if on earth you rode. It will not be so great a change if on earth you had all luxuries and satisfactions. It will not bo so great a change for you to sit down on the banks of the river of life if on earth you had a country seat. But, oh, tho joy for tho weary feet when they step into the celestial equi page, and, oh, the joy of those to whom homo was o martyrdom on earth when they go iutp that f home where they will never havo to do 'anything they do not want to do! What a change from tho time the put down the rolling pin to tho tiipe she tpok up the ecepteyl If Chatsworth Bark and tho Vanderbilt mansion Were lifted into tho celestial city, they would be looked at as unin habitable rookeries, awl Lazarus him- rest they prt? _ _ by the books they introduce, by TT-oTm fluonco they l«ing around tho home, they are helping to decide the physical, the intellectual, tho moral, the eternal welfare of tho human race. Oh, the re sponsibility ! That woman sits in tho house of God today perhaps entirely unappreciated. She is tho banker of her home, the pres ident, tho cashier, tho teller, tho dis count clerk, and ever and anon there is a panic. God knows the anxieties and the cares, and he knows that this is not a useless sermon, but that there are multitudes of hearts waiting for tho distillation of tho divine mercy and solace in their hour of trials and their home duties and their own fatigues. The world hears nothing about them. They never speak about them. Yon could not with tho agonies of an inquisition bring the truth out of them. They keep it still. They say nothing. They endure and will until God and the judgment right their wrongs. Oh, but says some sister, “Aro you not trying to show that all a woman’s life at homo is one of self sacrifice?” Yos, my sister, and that is tho only kind of life worth liv ing. That has been the life of Florence Nightingale; that was the lit’o of Ed ward Puyson; that was .the life of tho Lord Jesus Christ; that is the life of every man or woman that is happy —a life of self sacrifice. Those people living for themselves—are they happy? Find me one. I will give you all the nations of tho earth to find mo one. Not happy —no, not happy. Self !>nerI!ieo Brlnaa llapplnesa. It is tho self sacrificing people that aro happy, for God pays so largely, so gloriously, so magnificently, in tho deep and eternal satisfactions of tho soul. Self sacrifice! Wo all admire it in othevs. How little wo exercise of it I How much would we endure? How much would we risk for others? A very rough schoolmaster had a poor lad that had offended tho laws of the school, and he ordered him to come up. “Now,” ho said, “you take off your coat instantly and receive this whip. *' Tho boy declined, and more vehement ly tho teacher said; “I tell you, now, take off your coat. Take it off instant ly. ” Tho boy again declined. It was not because he was afraid of tho lash; he was used to that in his cruel home. But it was for shame. He had no under*- garment, and when at last ho removed uis coat there went up a sob of emotion all through the school as they saw why he did not wish to remove his coat, and as they saw the shoulder blades almost cutting through the skin. As tho school- pianler lifted his whip to sirike a rose ate, healthy l)oy leaped up and said; “Stop, schoolmaster; whip me. He is only a p<x>r chap; ho can’t stand it. Whip me-” “Oh,” said the teacher, “it’s going to be a very severe scourg ing! But if you want to take tho posi- " substitute, you can doit.” : “I don't care; whip me. jv a poor chap. tioir Tb Cure was helped them.
