A MID A III FIGHT.
Tho tmoand full details of tho udvcn
turo I am about to relate have never
appeared in print. Nobody but myself
could possibly givo a faithful account
of tho inuttor. and 1 hovo only recently
recovered from a norvous prostration
that followed tho evout. I writo this
account now, not becuuse it gives me
any pleasure to do so?on tho contrary,
tho tusk is a very unplousant and pain
fill ouo?but so many untruthful vor
slous of tho story have got abroad thai
1 feel it due to myself to stato plainly
what nctually occurred.
It was in August, und I was taking
a pleasant walking tour in tho south of
England. During tho second week I
had left Surrey behind mo nnd was
wandering umongtho fields-, tho wooded
dells uud tho winding luues of West
Sussex.
I carried with mo a littlo guidebook
to tho county, merely for tho.sake of
tho brief information it gave ifao about
old churches and other points of inter
est. 1 oinployod no itinerary, but let
my route work itself out from day to
duy without any prearranged plans.;
Yet tho fact romnins that but for that
littlo book my terriblo adventuro would
in nil probability never havo happened.
Breakfasting ono morning at tho lit
tle-inn at B-^?, 1 determined that my
day's wula should bo to P-i und 1
worked out'^iny ronto on tho map. 1
noticed, however, thnt a littlo village
called W-layabout two-wiles out
of my way, und turning up tho place
in my guido I read, "Tho tourist should
not miss tho church, which is early
English and exhibits some very inter
esting foaturos." I thore?pon resolved
to alter my routo ? little in order to hi
oludo tho villago in my day's progress.
A description of tho place, its charm
ing green and pretty" cottages, is not
necessary to my story. Tho littlo church
stand;? upon a knoll,nod is a prominent
dotnil in the landscape for miles around.
Looking up nfils graceful spire, I at
onco noticed that Just beneath tho
?weathercock some slight scaffolding had
been erected, rtnd that ropes depended
from it. to tho surface of tho tower be
neath. Some repairs wero evidently in
operation.
"Aro yon ropMring the spire?" 1
asked of threo inen who wero seated on
a Hat tomb oating thoir frugal midday
meal. '
"No,r was tho somewhat surly reply
of the man who appeared to mo to bo
tho foreman.
"(Jhly tho wenthercock?"
?yes."
The fellow now eyed mo closely, as
If'there were something in my appear
ance that interested him. Ho was a'
rather tall and powerfully built man,
with a full black board and rather cu
rions, deep Bet eyes. There was some
thing about tho eyes that fascinated
me. Suroly 1 had 6ccn them before.
But where? I had no recollection of
having over previously mu'de tho ac
fftimui.^^o 0f a steeplejack.
Etta mani.ei aiuidonly cbange.d toward
mo. Ho roso from his seat and seemed
anxious to converse.
"Protty country around here, sir."
I agreed with him.
"Lovoly view from tho top." Ho
inted with his thumb to tho steeple.
You get what they call a birdsovo
iow for miles around, and I believe 1

reak yonder in tho South Downs."
"How do you go up?" 1 asked.
"In a sort of cage. I am just going
ow, sii. Will you go with me? You
my never got tho opportunity again."
1 thought ho was probably right, and
hnt it was a pity to miss such an ex
erionco.
"But is it quite safe?" I inquired.
"Bless you, yes, sir. I'll take care
f you right enough." And ho laughed"
a a way that was certainly not pleas
ut, but it struck mo as be-rhg only a
eoulinr mannerism. V1
1 consented to mako^tho ascent, nnd
ea!l mounted tho-belfry stairs and
)t out on thobojft.y' ien,i8.
"I'd IjeU^r^go first," ho said, "and
?U^Jrt?fn seo you safely landed. The
will only hold ono at a time."
Ho was soon hauled to tho top, and
hen ho had disembarked the cage was
t down again tor my reception. 1
t in and proceeded to ascend up tho
lo of tho steeple. I had not riser,
my^ards before 1 began to feel very
rvoifs. My lifo was absolutely ut

0 palms of my hands wore moist,
1 perspiration stood in heads on my
?head. What a fool I hud been to

.'ho ascent could not have taken many
nites, but it seomcd as if it were

to tho littlo platform, where 1
lOhed down and clung to tho stand
of the weathercock, trembling in
y limb.

but it's just as good and a long

Listen! Onco on a time (hero was

moro fiercely, becauao ehe could nover
bo hi* wife. 1
"What, then, do you suppose sepa
rated them? i jffiH ten yoa< a. smooth
tongued villain from London came be-.,
f ween them. Ho flattered her and lied
to her aud spread his vile net to entrap
her. The poor girl was fascinated,
bewildered by the sleek scoundrel, and
be carried her off.
"A year later aho was in her grave.
Her deserted lover was broken hearted,
desolate, desperate. His business be
camo neglected and ended in ruin. As
a boy he had trieu^tho soa, and ho now
took to tho lifo again, but not for long.
Ho fell iu with a steeplejack, worked
with him and haa since adopted the
catling. Stilly tho great sorrow of his
lifo banga heavy ou him, and he once
bwore u vow- - -which bo moans to keep?
that if over hornet the oneiny of his life
and of tiio lifo of the woman ho loved
tho great.?coro between them should be
Bottled,one way or tho other.
"Do you understand tho Btory? That
dairy farmer's namo was Richard Wil
son, and* the name- is also my own. Tho
girl was^Margarot Snow, and Herbert
RiclJey Morris was tho scoundrel. Wo
iiavo now an opportunity of paying off
old debts without fear of interruption."
Tho determination in his manner,
tho mudnoss in his oyc, told mo ho was
/in deadly .earnest.
"You Wrong mo," I cried. "I never
intended to harm you. As for Marga
ret, 1 loved her passionately, and the
niarriagfcJwas a perfectly happy ono.
God knojtes that when sho died it near
ly brokojby heart. Poor Margaret t If
you lovcidCher as you say. you havo my
deep sympathy."
"Curse your sympathy!"
Ho struck at me with his fist, bnt by
a quick movement 1 avoided tho blow.
"Oao of us has to die?ono or both
of usI" Ivo shrieked. " If you go first,
I shall throw myself alter you. If I go
down, yd^i can live and run tho risk of
boing hanged for my murder 1 Are you
ready ? "
Ho fixed his eyes on mo, and I saw
ho was no longer a sano man, and I was
doomed to engage in a most horrible
encounter?a fight, for lifo round the
weathercock of a lofty church steeplo.
I gaj^? ono loud cry for help. It was
echoeefby a neighboring hill und star
tled tho birds in tho trees beneath.
"You fool I" ho laughed in derision.
"What help do you hope for up horo?
If any ono attompts to como up, one
stroko of my kuii'o will cut short his
career."
I tried to pacify him, hut my words
seomed only to infuriate him, and sud
denly, with a loud execration, ho sprang
on mo liko a tiger. Tho platform that
wo wero on was formed of rough planks
and was only a few feet square. Be
yond tho standard of tho vano and tho
four short ends of scaffold poles, to
which tho planks wero secured by
ropes, thero was absolutely no protec
tion.
Tho standard round which tho strug
gle centered was of stout wrought iron,
and each man's lifo depended on his
being able to maintain his hold upon
this support. Anns and legs in confu
sion wero entwined about it as wo wres
tled and fought in deadly desperation.
Oh, thoso horrible moments! How
wo fought and strained and maneuvered
to gain somo littlo advantage in posi
tion! If ho succeeded in dislodging
my right leg, it was only to let my left
leg obtain an equally good position. If
I force d his hand from ono place, it im
mediately grasped another.
1 saw clearly, and so, I think, did he,
that it was purely a question of endur
ance. The man who could hold out
longest would win, and we wero pretty
evenly matched. But what a terrible
fato awaited tho vanquished! And
throngh all tho struggle I could hear
tho birds iu tho trees and hedges below,
Singing merrily in tho warm .sun, which
beat down on our uncovered beads and
parched my throat and lips.
1 do not know how long wo had been
Cn'ghged in our howfblo fight. It may
not have been many minutes, but to mo
it seemed hours. Neither of us up
peared to be gaining any material ad
vantage, when, suddenly taking mo by
surprise, ho seized mo savagely by the
throat and forced me, clinking, on my
back across tho platform.
Though I was obliged to releaso the
iron standard with my hands, I still
clung to it with ono leg. Wilson held
my throat with his left hand, so that
my bead bung over tho side of tho plat
form. With his right hand ho grasped
tho iron rod. To his left leg I was cling
ing with ono arm, and with bis right
leg ho was violently kicking mino away
from tho support.
How it happened I do not know, but
all at once ho lost his hold ou tho up
right bar, reeled round, and with a quiet
cry fell backward over the edge into
midair. At tho sanio moment my log
got disengaged, and as 1 was clasping
ono of his limbs I felt myself suddenly
jerked after him.
As I writu 1 can distinctly boo the
wholo panorama that mot my gaze as l
went over tho side, even the excited lit
tlo group of villagers who wero shriek
ing and hurrying toward the steeple. It
Boomed long enough for mo to notice
sovernl insignificant details and for sev
eral calm thoughts to pass through my
brain. Yet it must havo been but a
moment.
I immediately became unconscious,
and it was several days before I recov
ered my reason. When 1 did so, I was
astonished to find that in body I was
practically uninjured, although 1 had
received a terriblo mental shock.
It appears that tho ghastly strugglo
was watched throughout by tho terror
stricken villagers, but no person could
be found sufficiently daring to mount
tho spiro and risk his lifo by an inter
ference. When, however, poor Wilson
foil, and I was seen to bo bunging sus
pended from tho platform, thero wero
plenty of volnntcois.
Tho man who wont to tho top found
mo hanging by the breast of my Btout
tweed jacket, which providentially had
caught in a nail in ono of tho planks
and thus saved my lifo. It was a mer
ciful circumstance that I had lost con
sciousness, as any efforts on my part to
get out of my truly horrible position
must havo ended in my being dashed
to pieces liko my assailant.
Additional help was immediately ob
tained, und thoy brought mo down to
tho ground in safoty. This la tho wholo
of tho story. NtimoroiiB sonsational em
bellishments havo got abroad, but they
aro all fiction. Surely tho truth in this

AT THE TABERNACLE.
"A HUNTING SCENE" THESUBJECT Oc
DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.
He Who Hunts tfao World's Pleasures In
tbe Morning of Life'May Never Divide
the Christian Spoil In the Kvoulng?Put
ting OA* Repentance.
Brooklyn, Nov. 20.?In the forenoon
service at tho Tnbcmaclo today, Rev. Dr.
Tal mage took for his subject a most sea
sonable ono, "A Hunting Scone," the text
belin: Genesis xlix, 27, "In tho morning ho
shall devour tho prey, and at night he
shall divido the spoil."
A few nights ago 800 men encamped
along the Long Island railroad so as to bo
ready for tho next morning, which was the
first "open day" for deer hunting. Be
tween sunrise and 3 o'clock in tho after
noon of that day 15 deer were shot. On the
20th of October our woods nnd forests re
sound with tho shock of firearms nnd are
tracked of pointers and setters becauso the
quail are then a lawful prize for thosports
man.
Oh a certain day in all England you can
hear the crack of the sportsmnn's gun, bo
cnuso grouse bunting has begun, und every
man that can a fiord tho time and ammuni
tion und can draw a bend starts for the
fields. Xenophon grew eloquent in regard
to tho art of Imm ing. In the far cast peo
ple, elephant mounted, chase tho tiger.
The American Indian darts his arrow at
the hullalo until tho frightened liord tum
ble over the rocks. European nobles are
often found in the fox chase and at the
stag hunt. Francis I was called the father
of hunting. .Moses declares of Nlnirod,
"He was a mighty hunter before tho Lord."
Therefore, in till ages of tho world, the
imagery of my text ought to be suggestive,
whether it means a wolf after u fox or a
man after a lion.
Old Jacob, dying, is telling tho fortunes
of his children. Ho prophesies tho devour
ing propensities of Benjamin and his de
scendants. With his dim old eyes be looks
off and sees the hunters going out to the
fields, ranging them all day, and at night
fall coming homo, the gumc slung over tho
shoulder, and reaching the door of the
tout tho hunters begin to distribute the
game, and one takes a coney, and another
a rabbit, and another a roe. "In the morn
ing he shall devour the prey, and at night
he shall divide the spoil." Or it may bo a
reference to the habits of wild beasts that
slay their prey and then drag it back to
the cave or lair and divido it among the
young.
B0KTBR8 OK THE WOHLD.
1 tako my text, in the first place, as de
scriptive of t hose people who in tho morn
ing of their life give themselves up to hunt
ing the world, but afterward, by the grace
of God, in the evening of their lifo divide
aniongthemselves the spoils of Christian
character. There lire aged Christian men
and women in this house who, if they gave
testimony, would tell you that in t he morn
lug of their lifo they were after the world
as intense as a hound after a hare, or ns a
falcon swoops upon a ga/.ellc. They want
ed tho world's plaudits and tho world's
gains. They felt that if they could get this
world they would have every thing. Snmo
of them started out for the pleasures of tho
world. They thought that the man who
laughed loudest was happiest. They tried
repartee and conundrum and burlesque
aud madrigal.
They thought they would like to be Tom
Hoods or Charles Lambs or Edgar A. Poes.
They mingled wine and music and the
spectacular. They were worshipers of the
harlequin, and the Merry Andrew, nnd the
buffoon, and the jester, bifo was to them
foam and bubble and caehinuation and
roystering and grimace. They were so full
of glee they could hardly repress their
mirth oven on solemn occasions, and they
came near bursting out hilariously even at
the burial because there was something so
dolorous in tho tone or countenuuee of the
undf it 1 a er.
After awhile misfortune struck them
hard on the back. They found there was
something thoy could not laugh at. Under
their late hours their health gave way or
there was a death in the bouse. Of overy
green thing their soul wosexfoliated. They
found out that life was more than a joke.
From the heart of Qod there blazed into
their ?oiil im earnestness Ihcy had never
felt before They awoke to their sinfulness
and thoir immortality, and here thoy sit at
00 or 70 years of age as appreciative of all
innocent mirth as they ever were, but they
aro bent on a style of satisfaction which in
early lifo they never hunted -the evening
of their days brighter than tiio morning.
In tho morning they devoured tho proy,
but at night they divided the spoils.
THK Gil ASK OK 'I'll K HOLLAR.
Thon thero are others who started out
for financial success. They see how limber
the rim of a man's hut is when ho bows
down before some one transpicuous. They
felt they would liko to sou how tho world
lookod from tho window of a $-1,000 turn
out. They thought they would like to
have the morning sunlight (angled in the
be.xlgenrof a dashing spaa. They wanted
the bridges hi the park to resound uiider
the rataplan of their swift hoofs. They
wanted a gilded baldric, aud so they start
ed on the dollar hunt. They chased it up
ono street nnd chased it down another.
They followed it. w hen it burrowed in tho
cellar. They treed it in tho roof.
Wherever a dollar was expected to be.
they wero. They chased it across the ocean.
They chased it across the laud. They
stopped not for the night. Heating that
dollar, even in tho dir kuuss, thrilled them
?s an Adirondack spoilsman is thrilled at
midnight by a loon's laugh. They chased
that dollar to the motif V vault. Thoy chased
ii tothegovornment toasiiry. They routed
it from under tho counter. AH the hound
were out?ull tho pointers mid the netter*.
They leaped the hedges for that dollar, and
they cried: "Hark awayl A dollar! A dol
larl" And when at last they came upon it
and had actually captured it their excite
ment was like that of a falconer who has
successfully flung his first hawk.
Ir the morning of their life, oh, how they
devoured the preyl But there came a bet
ter tljjjo to thoir soul. They found,out Di??
an immortal nature cannot uro on d&qk

bond, and there was a hole in it through
which they could look into tho uncertainty
of all earthly treasure*. They saw tome

and thay said to themselves, "I will seek
after higher treasure."
devoured bt ihk world.
From that time they did not care whether
they walked or rode if Christ walked with
them; nor whether thoy lived in a mansion
or in a hut If they dwelt under the shadow
of the Almighty; nor whether they were
robed in French broadcloth or in homespuu
if they had the robe of tho Saviour's right,
eousuess; nor if they were sandalled with
oiorocco or culfskin if they were shod with
tho preparation of tbo GospeL Now you
seo peace on their countenance. Now that
man says: "What a fool I was to be en
chanted with this world. Why, I have
more satisfaction in five minutes in the serv
ice of God than I bad in all the flrut years
of my life while I wus gaingetting. I like
this evening of ray day a great deal better
than I did the morning. In the morning I
greedily devoured tbo prey, but now it Is
evening, and I am gloriously dividing the
spoil."
My friends, this world is a poor thing to
hunt. It is healthful to go out in tbo woods
and hunt. It rekindles tbo luster of the
eye. It striken the brown of the autumnal
leaf into the cheek. It gives to tbo rheu
matic limbs tbo strength to leap like u roe.
Christopher North's pet gun, t he muckle
mou'd Meg, going oft" in tbo summer in the
forests had its echo ln tbo winter time in
tho eloquence that rang through the uni

to go bunting in the fields, but I tell you
that it is belittling and bedwarflng and
belaming for a man to bunt this world.
Tho hammer comes down on tho guncan.
stead of that which you are pursuing.
When yon turn out to bunt tho world,
the world turns out to hunt you, and as
many a sportsmnn alining bis gun at a
panther's heart lias gono down under the
striped claws, so while you have been nt
tempting to devour this worlC ! he world
has been devouring you. So it was with
Lord Byron. So it was with Coleridge. So
it was with Catherlno of Cassia. Henry
II went out hunting for this world, and its
lances struck through his heart. Francis
I aimed at tbo world, but tho assassin's
dagger put an end to bis ambition and his
lite at one stroke. Mary Queen of Scots
wrote ou tho window of her castle:
From tho top of all uiy trust
Mishap hath laid mo in tho dust.
SALVATION POSTPONED FOREVER.
The queen dowager of Navarre was of
fered for her wedding day a cost ly and beau
tiful pair of gloves, and sho put them on,
but they were poisoned gloves, and they
took her Ufo. Dotter a bare baud of cold
privation than a warm and poisoned glovo
of ruinous success. "Ob," says sorao young
man in tho audleuco, "I believe what you
are preaching. I am going to do that very
thing. In the morning of my life I am go
ing to devour tho prey, and In tho evening
I shall divide tho spoils of Christian char
acter. I only want a little while tosowmy
wild oats, and then I will bo good."
Young man, did you ever take tbo census
of ull the old people? How many old peo
ple are thero In your bouse? One, two or
none? How many in n vast assemblage
like this? Only here and thero a gray head,
liko the patches of snow hero and there in
the fields on a late April day. Tho fact U
that tho tides of the years are bo strong thai
men go down under them before they get
to be 00, before they get to be 50, beforo
they get to be 40, before they get to bo 80;
and If you, uiy young brother, resolve m /
that you will spend the morning of your
days in devouring tho prey the probability
Is that you will never divide the spoils
in tho evening hour. He who postpones
until old age tho religion of Jesus Christ
postpones it forever.
Where are tbo men who, 80 years ago, re
solved to become Christinns inoldagc, put
ting it off a certain number of years? They
never got to be old. The railroad collision,
or tho steamboat explosion, or tho slip on
the ice, or tho falling ladder, or the sudden
cold put an end to their opportunities.
They have never had an opportunity since,
and never will have an opportunity again.
They locked the door of heaven against
their soul, and they threw away tho keys.
They chased tho world, and they died In tho
chase. Tho wounded tiger turned on them.
They failed to tnko the game they pursued.
Mounted on a swift courser, they leaped
tho hedge, but tho courser fell on them and
crushed them. Proposing to barter their
soul for the world, they lost both and got
neither.
LIFE'S BRIEF DAY.
Whilo this is an encouragement to ol%
people who are still unpardoned, it is no
encouragement to tho young who are put
ting off tho day of grace. This doctriuo
that the old may be repentant Is to be tak
en cautiously. It is medicine that kills or
oures. The Ruino medicine given to differ
ent patients, In ono case it saves life? and In
the other it,destroys it. This possibility of
repentance at the closo of life may cure tho
old man while it kills tho young. Ho cau
tious in taking it.
Again, my subject Is descriptivo of those

You have uoticed bow short a time it is
from morning to night?only seven or
eight hours. You know that the day has
a very brief life. Its heart beats 24 times,
and then it Is dead. How quick this transi

"In the morning they shall devour tho
prey, and nt night they shall divide tho
spoils." Is it possible that there shall be
such a transformation iu any of our char
acters? Yea, a man may be at 7 o'c lock iu
the morning an nil devouring worldling,
and at 7 o'clock nt night bo may be a peace
ful, distributive Christian.
Conversion Is instantaneous. A man
passes Into tho kingdom of God quicker
than down the sky runs zigzag lightning.
A man may bo anxious about his soul for a

tng on a great while; that does not uiako
him a Christian. But the very instant
when he flings his bouI on tho uu't-cy of Je- ;
sus Christ, that instant Is lustration, 1
emancipation, resurrection. Up to that
point ho is going in tho wrong direction,
after that point he is going in the right di
rection. Before that moment he is u child
of sin; after that moment he is n child of
God. Before that moment devouring the ;
prey; after that moment dividiug the
spoil. Five minutes is as good ns (he :
years.
My hearer, you know very well that the
best things you have done you have douo
in a flash. You made up your mind in an
instant to buy, or to sell, or to invest, or to
Stop, or to start. If you bad missed that
one chance, you would have missed It for- i
ever. Now, just as precipitate and quick
and spontaneous will be tho ransom of your
soul. Sumo morning you were making a
calculation. You got on tbo track of some
financial or social game. With your pen or
pencil you were pursuing it. That very
morning you were devouring the prey, but
that very night you were in a different
mood. You found that all heaven was of
fered you. You wondered how you could
get it for yourself and for your family.
You wondered what resources it would
givo you now and hereafter. You are di
viding peace and comfort and satisfaction
and Christian reward iu your soul. You
are dividing the Bpoil.
ItEUOION makes man masteh.
One Sabbath night at the close of tho
service I said to some persons, "When did
you first become serious about your soul?"
Aud they told me, "Tonight." And I said
to others, "When did you givo >??ui heart
to God?" And they said, "Tonight." And
I said to still others, "When did you ro
solvo to servo tbo Lord all tho days of your
life?" And they said, "Tonight." I saw
by tbo gayet y of their apparel that when
the grace of God struck them they wero de
vouring tho prey, but I saw also In tho
flood of joyful tears, and in tho kindling
raptures on their brow, and in their oxhila
raut aud transporting utterances, that they
wero dividing tbo spoil.
If you have been in this "building when
tho lights are struck at night, you know
that with ono touch of electricity they aro
all blazed. Oh. I would to God that tho
darkness of your souls might be broken up,
and that by one quick, overwhelming, in
stantaneous flash of illumination you
might be brought into tho light und tho
liberty of tho sons of God I
You see that religion is a different thing
from what some of you peoplo supposed.
You thought It was a decadence. You
thought religion was maceration. You
thought it was highway robbery; that It
struck ono down and left him half dead;
that it plucked out tho eyes; that it plucked
out tho plumes of tho soul; that it broke
the wing aud crushed tho beuk as it eamo
clawing with its black talons through tho
air. No, that is not religion.
What is religion? It is dividing the
spoil. It is taking n defenseless soul and
panoplying it for eternal conquest. It is tho
distribution of prizes by the king's band,
every medal stamped with a coronation. It
is an exhilaratiou, expansion. It Is impara
disation. It Is enthronement. Religion
makes a man master of earth, of death and
hell. It goes forth to gather the medals ot
victory won by Prince Kmanucl, and tho
dludeuis of heaveh, and tho glory of realms
terrestrial and celestial, and then, after
ranging all worlds for everything that Is
resplendent, it divides tho spoils.
What was it that James Turner, tho fa
mous English evangelist, was doing when iu
his dying moments he said: "Christ is i I
Christ is alll" Why, ho was entering into
light. lie was rounding tho Capo of Good
Hope. Ho was dividing tho spoil. What
was the aged Christian Quakeress doing
when at 80 years of age she aroso In tho
meeting ono day and said: "Tho time of
my departure is coma My gravo clothes
are falling off?" She wus dividiug tbo
?poll.
Sho longed with wings to fly away
And mix with that eternal day.
What Is Daniel now doing, tho lion tam
er, and Elijah, who w as drawn by tho flam
ing coursers, and Paul, the rattling of
whoso chains made kings quake, and nil
tbo other victims of flood and fire and
wreck and guillotine?where aro they? Di
viding the spoil.
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
In sparkling raiment bright,
Tho armies of tho ransomed saints
Throng up tho stoops of light.
?Tis finished, all is finished,
Their light with death and sin.
Lift high your golden gates
And let tho victors in.
Oh, what a grand thing it is to bon Chris
tlanl Wo begin now to divide tho spoil,
but the distribution will not be completed
to all eternity. Thero is a poverty struck
soul, thero is a business despoiled soul,
there is a sin struck soul, thero is a bo
reaved soul?why do you not come and get
?.ho spoils of Christian character, t.ho com
fort, the joy, tho peaco, the salvation that I
am sent to oiler you in'my Master's nauii*
Though your knees knock together in
weakness, though your hand tremble in
fear, though your eyes rain tears of uncon
trollable weeping? come and get the spoil.
Rest for all tho weary. Pardon for nil tho
guilt y. Reseuo for all the bestornied. Lifo
for all the dead. I verily believe thot thero
are some who have come iu hero downcast
because tho w orld is against thein, and be
cause they feel God Is against them, who
will go away saying:
I came to Jesus as 1 was.
Weary and worn and sad.
I found In him a resting place.
And ho has mudo mo glad.
Though you camo in children of t ho world,
you may go away heirs of heaven. Though
this very autumnal morning you wero de
vouring the prey, now, all worlds witness
ing, you may divido tho spoil.
.s..i.-1-tin- Carriage Morses.
In tho selection of pairs for carriage*
tho first requisites generally demanded
aro that tho horses should bo of a liko
color and external con format ion. So
far as fashion and appearance go, when
tho pair is at rest, tho cyo is satisfied.
Something more, however, is wanted
when the horses aro in motion. They
should not only bo tho same in color
and in height and of liko characteristics
in shape, but their action should ho uni
form in character. Without this?for
instance, a high stepper paired with a
daisy cutter?tho impression on tho on
looker Is an unpleasant feeling of Incon
gruity. Inharmonious action in a driven
pair is, to a judge <rf horses, as groat a
fault US an ill matched pair iu color,
sizo and conformation to tho ordinary
observer.
Something still more, however, than
any of tho qualities wo havo named is
requisite. A perfect team of two or
inoro horses should possess, as well, the
sumo kind of temperament to make
driving agreeable. A sluggish horse In
Company with ono of a spirited disposi
tion is a continual source of irritation to
tho driver. Tho willing horso also
tnkes more than his share of tho work,
and tho lazy less. If tho latter has to
bo ropeatedly urged to do his duty, it
becomes a sourco of annoyance to tho
former, who fidgets and unduly exerts
himself in tho traces. A pair of lym
phatic horses is much to bo preforred
to auch a combination. As tho forma
tion of perfect pairs, such as wo havo
Indicated, is a difficult matter and such
pairs aro exceedingly raro.it is no won
der that when found they command
onormous prices.?London Livo Stock !

Klootrio Deposition ol Copper.
According lo U:l- opinion of bo good
an authority an The Liigiuooiing News,
tho recent discovery in ado relative to
the electric deposition of copper and
other metals promises to bo of great im
portance, for, whilo heretofore such
processes havo been carried on by im
mersing tho metal intruded to reel Ivo
too aoposit m an aqueous soiuuon ot u
salt of tho metal to bo deposited, tho
new method makes effective use of in
soluble waits of the various motals, thoao
being Kimpiy reduced to u fine powder
and mechanically mixed with water.
Tho mixture is applied to the surfaet
of tho metals by means of a brush, to
tho handle of which is attached tie
electric conducting wire, so that tho de
positing operation resembles the ortF
nary application of it coat of paint.
Not only pure metals, but all sorts oj
alloys, it is represented, are affixed as
coatings to other metals, with the ut
most facility, by this means. Tims the
hull of an iron ship, lor example, may
bo spread over with a tough, adherent
and impervious surface of metallic cop
per of any desired thickness, and exper
iuionts have been made which indicat
that this plan may bo successfully car
