-T— THE FARM AND GARDEN. , COPPERAB WATER. Five pounds of copperas (sulphide of 5roul to forty gallons of water is not only a valuable disinfectant, but a fer tilizer ns well. It increases fruitfulness and earliness of the tomato, peach and other fruits, besides prolongs the season. Trees treated with copperas or iron fil ings produce a better colored and more sightly fruit, one that is more firm, hence better for shipping. As a disinfectant about stables, chicken-houses and closets copperas is the cheapest and most reliable disin fectant known.—vNcie Orleans Timet-* Democrat. f-' fatten trb fowls. ' Never send a fowl to market unless it is in as fat condition as possible. If a fowl will take on an extra pound ot flesh, if will pay to feed it well until it reaches that stage. The reason is that there is not only a gain in weight, but price. If a six-pound fowl, not in a choice condition, will bring ten cents per pound in the market, the extra pouml may cause the fowl to sell for twelve cents-per pound, being a gain of thirty-four cents for the whole, due to both increase of weight and better qual ity, while the food required for pro ducing the extra pound may not cost six cents. Quality is ^ prime factor in the market poultry.-—Farm and Fireside. 1/ “BRIDLING A COW.” Somebody, whom one of our ex changes refers to as “a sensible writer,” has been explaining in Horse and Stable, his method of handling horses so as to repress their evil tendencies and bring out their good qualities. Among other things ho tells how to teach the horse to take the bit. He claims that by his sys tem a horse that is hard to bridle will bo so educated and subdued that “he will soon be as easily bridled as a cow.” 'Any one who ever attempted to bridle a cow will leel the full force of this state ment. It is so very, very easy to bridle a cow, she is so used to having the bridle put on, and is so greatly pleased with the operation, that any method which will make it equally ea-sy to bridle a horse must be regarded ns a great and valuable discovery. We are glad to learn that such an easy and efiicient method has been devised.—American Dairyman. SECURING THE HAY CROP. Notwithstanding the use of the scythe has been so greatly superseded by ma chines and horse power, writes an Indi ana farmer, I believe securing the hay crop is the hardest and most fatiguing work that is done on t ie farm. Of course, the warmer the day the faster the hay will cure, but this only makes the work the harder. The liability to thun der showers at this season is a source of continual anxiety when one has a large amount of grass down and half cured in which condition a wetting means a large decrease in its value. On days when showery conditions prevail uo more should be cut at a time than can be put into cock and covered with hay caps if not sufficiently cured to go into ihe barn. Often the grass has become so ripe it will not do to defer cutting until there comes a spelt of settled weather. In such cases it is usually best to start the mower immediately alter the show er, and put into cock before another comes up, or late toward evening, when rain in the night will injure it but little if well spread out and attended to tho next fornoon. Of course this all means hard work, but then making hay be tween showers always means hard work. Water is always druuk in large quanti ties by harvesters, and 1 have found that by stirring a haudlul or two of oat Hakes into a pailfdl it not only makes it ex ceedingly palatable, but l believe there is less danger from drinking all you waul.—New York World. STACKING SHEAVES. I have stacked much grain in my day, says Galen Wilson, and none of it be came wet in the stack. Begin by sotting two bundles ou cud, leaning together at an angle Of about twenty degrees, thou continue around and around until tho stack-bottom is large enough. The centre sheaves should bo dressed in as closely together as possible. As the circle enlarges each succeeding course should be given a little more slant, so that when the last course is laid it will have but a slight slant. The stack-bot tom is then highest in the mt Idle. This rule is followed until the stack is finished. As the laying proceeds from tho centre the sheaves should belaid less closely in a diminishing degree, so that tho stack will settle least in the centre. After the fiist course the stacker should be on his knees and press down every sheaf. When the foundation is about six feet high the outside tiers of sheaves must be laid to project a little over the ouoi 1 immediately beneath, to give tho stack; the proper bulge, that the water may be conveyed away from the base. The outer coilrses when being “laid out,” must be secured or some may slide when considerable weight presses upon them. Grasp each sheaf with both hands, raise the heads-end almost perpendicular and “chuck” the butt end into the butt of the one beneath, then lower and push out to place; the ends of some of the straws, catching into tho sheaf beneath, hold it from sliding out. I continue this practice when “drawing in” to “top out.” A good man is needed to pitch from the wagon to the one on the stack who pitches to the stacker. The sheaves should be thrown within reach of the latter, who has to move around ns the stacker does. The wagon should not be unloaded from the same side of the stack twice in succession. The pitcbing-oll should be done all around, to prevent packing down the sheaves mare in one place than another. Tho stack pitcher should not stand in one place longer than two minutes, but keep moving iu differ ent circles about the centre. His place is never nearer than six or eight feet to the edge of the stack. Keep the centre full, keep it pressed solid and even, and then the stack will settle squarely. Stacked thus, sheaves will turn water n- rendily as a duck’s back. For a stack o( twenty-five feet diameter the centre should be kept four feet higher than the outer edge.—New York Tribune. FACTS AND “FANCIES” IN SILAGE. “Has anything new been found out about silos the past winter?” asks a reader of the American Ae/riculluriit. Not ex actly, but many previously advanced ideas have been confirmed and the "faith of the saints strengthened.” Speaking for myself, I think that some things have been ma le plain, an 1 in the future we shall agree upon a few fundamental points. That the stone silo—except under limited circumstances —lias had its day, and has ceased to bo written about in silo literature. The lathe 1 and plastered silo is now seldom mentioned. IU great advocate, Professor Cook, of Michigan, now is on record for the wooden-lined silo, made durable with 11 coat of gas tar and gasoline. The contest is now between a silc with a lining of two thicknesses of che ip, sound lumber, single surf-ced, not even njatched, put on with a half lap, with tarred paper between to make the walls doubly air tight, and the slid with a lining of a single board,-*^good flooring —matched, and hot painted, tho Idea being that the lumber dries odt duridg the summer, and when thfl silo is filled the swelling forcta ihe joinU and seams in the matching all close shut, and tho silo lasts for years. The problem is just this: Will a silo made of 'fine thickness of high-priced ffttoring be better than a double lining of cheap lumber, but Sound i Will the single ceiling continue to swell on demand, and always make a close airtight matching? It appears that a ten or twelve inch timber, well seasoned and thoroughly painted with gas tar, especially at the ends, and sunk In a trench, and bedded in with lime cement, is, when no “build ing up” is necessary, and Where there is good natural drainage, quite as good a foundation as one needs for a silo. The trench is just large enough to take in the sills, and the cement fills in between the sills aud the soil. The studding Should not be mortised in, but toenailed with l(5d-or20d-wire nails. If fears are entertained of surface water, a two-inch tile sunk in the outside earner of the trench before putting In the sills will remedy this. That a grouted floor, ot cement is necessary is doubtful. Well- pounded-dowu clay makes an admirablei floor. The only objection is that rats come up trom underneath sometimes. The remedy for this is a good ferret fot an hoar. If a coat of gas tar aud sand is first used under the clay floor rats will not mine the silage. Fast filling is now, when help can be obtained, generally recommended. Corn thinly planted and cultivated very shal low to induce earing, and allowed to stand until “out of the milk,” before cutting, and then filled in without wilt ing, seems the material out of which sweet silage is made. Filling with whole fodder, now that some of the conditions of that process are understood, has many friends. The smaller kinds of corn must be used, and the silo filled as the corn begins to glaze. The corn fodder should be laid nil one way, tops and huts. The tops along the walls should be broken over, and in the corners green hay should be occasionally put to keep them full and air proof. How to cover a silo is a matter upon which few silo mea agree. The success ful cover of ia<t year is no better this year than uo cover. As a rule, cover ns we may, some of the surface silage will spoil. Tho silage left without a cover rarely has more spoiled silage than the cue that has been protected with a tight fitting cover. Two of my silos the past winter, covered alike and the same day, gave different results. In one there was about thirty bushels of low, in the other seventy-five . bushels, while a neighbor who coverej his silo with six inches of green hty lost no silage hut did lose the bay. Seventy-five bushels of silage would have a value of seveuty-tive cents, the half ton of hay was worth $3. For the little loss of silage Iio y much com pensation do we receive for the outlay of material aud labor? What material has proved best for silage is answered: Corn every time.—American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Tarred paper makes a good lining for the poultry house. If the floor of the poultry houte is damp sprinkling with air-slaked lime will be beneficial. Three kinds of foo l are essential to poultry, grain, green food and animal food of some kind. Ground boue mikes excellent grit, as it is hard and sharp and just the article for growing chickens. Young poultry, if they are kept grow ing, need more teed in proportion to their size than those that are matured. Stir the soil about young trees. It should not bake nor should wee Is aud grass grow in it. Don’t work it too deeply. It is natural for a good cow to consume a great deal of food. So high feeding within judicious limits docs not hurt the cow if the food is of the right sort. There never was a hand clean enough j'ct to ho use.l in working butter. The baud does not improve the butter oven if it is mother’s, wife's or sister’s hand. Since the introduction of tho English Minorca fowls in America they have undergone a change which is an improve ment, that is, the reduction in the size of their combs. A hen should produce a profit of at least $1 per year over aud above her cost of keeping. If your ledger fails to show a gain, a screw is loose somewhere; tighten it up quickly. Strawberry plants which have over- fruited heavily should not he used for propagation, either for home beds or for market, as their vitality is decreased, ami speedy degeneracy will result. A new use for tho strawberry i 1 in making so l on terraces and declivities likely to wash. Set one foot apart each way they soon mat tho ground, furnish one crop of fruit, and are easily run out by grass seed sown among them. When good rams can he had for a fraction of their value there is no ejeuse for breeding from a poor ram. Thu man who, in tho selection of a ra n, con siders no question but of first cost will never make much of a mark as a breeder. Do not be afraid to plant more peas for a late supply. If the fall-growing varieties are used it will do hut little in jury if they fail over. Do not bo deterred from planting because of tho difficulty iu providing supports, as they may be omitted. There is loss in keeping a chick until it weighs four pounds and sells for ten cents a pound; when it coull have been sold for fifteen cents a pound when weighing two pounds; the loss is due to extra feed and car.*, probable loss from disease and other causes. If for the last fifty years fee ling anl breeding had lieen universally carried on upon scientific principles, it is impossi ble even to guess how much more our farmers would be worth to-day than they are. This fact should be ajuffieieut bint to breed up and feed up. The Lizard's Love of Mtisio. A contributor to tho Spectator write? with reference to the discussion of ani mal nodhetics: “I should like to give you one of my own ex|rf?rieuccs. When in Switzcrl m 1 two years ago I made the acquiiiituncj of some lizards, living in tho crevices of ono of tho sunny walls of our garden. As 1 had somewhere heard that lizirds have a goo 1 ear for music, 1 resolved to prove the fact; so one afternoon, armed with a small music-box, I wende 1 my steps to their tomato-covered home. Be fore 1 had finished the first tune a con siderable audience had collected—an audience it was a pleisuro to play to, for the lizards wtire far more attentive than human betrtgs. Out peered head after head, t> little on one side, iu a listening attitude. I gave my little friends a musical entertainment, varied by whistling, nearly every day, and be fore long they got much bolder and would venture right out of their boles and lie motionless on the broad ledge of the wall, their bright black eyes half closed as a rule, but opening now an I then to give me a lazy wink of enjoy ment.” SELECT SITTINGS.

According to tho bright littlo Span ish building journal, the Oaceta dc Obra% Publican, a cup of pure coffee, with the addition of a lump of su^ar, forms an excellent baroncter. The sugar should be put into the coffee without stirring,and, a moment afterwards, a quantity of bub bles, due to the air contained in tho su^ar, will be seen to rise to the surface of the liquid. If the bubbles collect in the middle of the cup, the weather will be fair; if, on the contrary, they leave the centre and adhere to the sides of the cup, forming a ring of bubbles, with a clear space in the middle, there will be rain; it they scatter themselves indiffer ently on the surface, the weather will be variable, while a cluster of bubbled at one side of the cup indicates rain.

A Hnidli Jlakni; Machine. A simple-looking machine for brush drawing, knot picking, and trimming was shown yesterday in Parlor K of the Astor House. Hitherto brushes have been made by hand, and the new machine is calculated to save much time. It will make brushes twice as hist as they can be made by hand. A boy or girl fifteen years old can run it, aud it is asserted the brushes can be drawn more perfectly than by hand. The machine rests on a table. A wheel containing the wire is run by a treadle. The wire is carried over to and through a hollow needle worked by hand, which is suspended from a support in front of the vise iu which the block is placed. A clamp in the handle can be used to draw in the material when small work is to bo done. Hack of the vise are adjustable shears which can be set for any length of brush. The block u put in the vise. It remains there till the brush is complete. The ma chine was patented last February. —Neto York Times, TftXf: have told yourselves for ndughfc an<f ye shall he redeemed without toioniey.’—Isaiah iti M 8. The Lord’s people had gone headlong ihtd sin, hnd as a punishment they had been car ried captive *to Babylon. They found that iniquity did not pay. Cyrus seize t Babylon and felt so sorry for these poor captives that, Without a dollar of compensation, ho let them go home. So that, literally, my t »xt Was fulfilled “Ye have sold yourselves for naught; and ye shall be redeemed without money.” There is enough Gospal in this text for fifty sermons. There are persons hero who have, like the people of the text, sold out. You do not seem to belong either to your selves or to God. The title deeds have been passed over to “the world, the flesh, and tho devil,” but the purcha-ier never paid up. “Ye have sold yourselves for naught.” When a man passes hi nisei f over to the world he expects to get some adequate com pensation. He has heard the great th mgs that the World does fora man, and he be lieves it. He wants two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That will be horses and houses, and a summer resort and jolly eom- ronionship. To get it he parts with his physical health by overwork. He parts with his conscience. He parts with much domestic enjoyment. He parts with oppor tunities for literary culture. He parts with his soul. And so he makes over his entire nature to the world. He does it in four installments. He pays down the first installment, ami one-fourth of his nature is gone. He pays down the second installment, and one-half” of his nature is gone. He pays down the third installment, and three-quarters of his nature are gone, and after many years have gone by he pays down the fourth installment, and lo! his en tire nature is gone. Then he comes up to the world and says; “Good morning. I have delivered to you the goods. I have passed over to you iny body, my mind and my soul, and I have come now to collect the two hun dred and fifty thous nd dollars.” “Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?” says the world. “ What do you mean ?’ “ Well, ” you say, “I come to collect the money you owe me, and I expect you to fulfill your part of the contract.” “But,” says the world, “I have failed, I am bankrupt. I cannot pos sibly pay that debt. 1 have not for a long time expected to pay it.” “Well,” you then * a y» “give me back the goods.” “Ob, no,” says the world, “they are all gone. I cannot give them back to you.” And there you stand on the confines of eternity, your spirit ual character gone, staggering under the consideration that “you have sold yourself for naught.” I tel! you the world is a liar. It does not keep its promises. It is a cheat, and it fleeces everything it can put Its hands on. It is a bogus world. It is a six-thousaud- vear-old swindle. Even if it pays the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for which you contracted, it pays them in bonds that will not be worth anything iu a little while. Just as a man may pay down ten thousand dollars in hard cash and get for it worthless scrip—so the world passes over to you the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in that shape which will not be worth a farthing to you a thousandth part of a sec ond after you are dead. “Oh,” you say, “it will help to bury me, anyhow.” Oh, my brother’you need not worry about that. The world will bury you soon enough from sanitary considerations. Rost mortem emoluments are of no use to you. The treasures of this world will not pass current in the future world, and if all the wealth of the Bank of England were put in the pocket of your shroud and you in the midst of the Jordan of death were asked to pay three cents for your ferriage, you could not do it. There comes a moment in your existence beyond which all earthly values fail, and. many a man has wakened up in such a time to find that he has sold out for eternity and has nothing to show for it. I should as soon think of going to Chatham street to buy silk pocket handkerchiefs with no cotton in them, as to go to this world ex pecting to find any permanent happiness. It ha 3 deceived and deluded every man who has every put his trust in it. History tells us of one who resolved that he would have all his senses gratified at one and the same time, and he expended thou sands of dollars on each sense. He entered a room, and there were the first musicians of the land pleasing his ear, and there were fine pictures fascinating his eye, and there were costly aromatics regaling his nostrils, and there were the richest meats and wines and fruits and confections pleasing the appetite, and there was a soft couch or sinful indul gence on which he reclined, and the man de clared afterward that he would give ten times what he had given if he could have one week of such enjoyment, even though he lost his soul by it! Ah! that was the rub! He did lose his soul by it! Cyrus the conqueror thought for a little while that he was mak ing a fine thing out of this world, and yet before he came to his grave he wrote out this pitiful epitaph for his monument . “I am Cyrus. I occupied the Persian empire. 1 was king over Asia. Begrudge me not this monument.” But the world in after years plowed up his sepulcher. The world clapped its hands and stamped its feet in honor of Charles Lamb; but what does he say? “I walk up and down, think ing I am happy, but feeling I am not.” Call the roll, ana be quick about it. Samuel Johnson, the learned* Happy? “No. lam afraid l shall someday get crazv.”. Will iam Hazlitt, the great essayist! Happy? “No. I have been for two hours and a half going up and down Paternoster row wifi a volcano in my breast.” Srnollet, tho witty author! Happy? “No. I am sick of prase and blame, aud I wish to God that I had such circumstances around me that I could throw my pen into oblivion.” Buchanan, the world renowned writer, exiled from his owrf country, appealing to Henry VIII for protection! Happy? “No. Over moun tains coverei with snow, and through val leys flooded with rain, I come a fugitive.” Moliere, the popular dramatic author! Hap py? “No. That wretch of an actor just now recited four of my lines without tho proper accent and gesture. To have the children of my brain so hung, drawn and quartered tortures me like a condemned spirit.” I went to see a worldling die. As I went into the hall I saw its floor was tessellated, ami its wall was a picture gallery I found his death chamber adorned with tapestry until it weeme I as if the clouds of the setting sun had settle 1 in tho room. Tho man had given forty years to the worli—his wit, his time, his genius, his talent, his soul. Did the world come in to stand by his deathbed and clearing off the vials of bitter medicine, put down any compensation? Oh. no! Tho world does not like sick and dyin> people, and leaves them in the lurch. It mine! this man and then left him. Ho had a magnifi cent funeral. All the ministers wore scarfs, and there were forty-three carriages in a row; but the departed man appreciated not the obsequies. 1 want to persuade my audiencs that this world is« poor investment ; that it does not pay ninety per cent, of satisfaction, nor eighty per cent., nor twenty per cent., nor two per cent., nor one; that it gives no solace when a dead babe lies on your lap; that it gives no peace when conscience rings its alarm; that it gives no explanation in the day of dire trouble; and at the time of your decease it takes hold of the pillow case and shakes out the feathers, and then jolts down in the place thereof sighs and groans and execrations, and then makes you put your head on it. Oh, ye who have tried this world, is it a satisfactory portion? Would you advise your friends to make the invest-nent? No. “Ye have sold yourselves for naught.” Your conscience went. Vour ho|M* went. V our Bible went. Your heaven went. Your God went. When a sheriff under a writ from the courts sells a man out the officer gener ally leaves a few chairs and a bed, and n few cups and knives; but in this awful vendue in which you have been engaged tho auction eer’s mallet has come down noon body, mind ind sou!—going! gone! “Ye have sold yourselves for naught. ’ How could you do so? Did you think that your soul was a mere trinket which for a few pennies you could buy iu a toy shop? Did you think that your soul, if once lost, might be found again if you went out with birches and lanterns? Did you think that your soul was short lived, and that panting, you would soon lie down for extinction? Or had you no idea what your soul was worth? Did you ever put vour forefingers on its eternal pulses? Have you not felt tne quiver of its peerlem wing? Have you not known that after leaving the body, the first step of your soul reaches to the stars, and the next stop to the farthest outposts of God’s uni verse, and that it will not dio until the day when the eve-lasting Jehovah expires? Oh, my brother, what fKissesse 1 you that you should nart with your soul so cheap? “Ye have sold yourselves for naught.” out i nave some good news to tell you. 1 want to engage in a litigation for the recov ery of that soul of yours. I want to show that you have been cheated out of it. I want to prove, hh I will, that you were crazy on that subject, and that tli*> world, under such circumstances, had no right to lake Ihe title deed from you; and if you will join me I shall get a decree from the High Chancery Court 1 of Heaven reinstating you iu the possession of ybur soul. ‘‘Ob,” you say, *‘1 fim Afraid of lawsuits; they are so expensive, arid I ean- bot pay the cost.” Then have you forgotteri tho last half bf my text? “Ye have sold yourselves for naught; arid ye shrill befri* deemed without money.” Money is good for a great many things, but it cannot do anything in the matter of the soul. You cannot buy your way through. Dollars and pounds sterling mean nothing at the gate of mercy. If you could buy your salvation, heaven would be a great specula tion, an extension of Wall street. Bad men would go up and buy out the place, and leave us to shift for ourselves. But as money is not a lawful tender, What is? I will answer, Blood! Whose? Are we to gd through the slaughter? Oh, no; it wrnits richer blood than ours It wants a king’s blood. It must be poured from royal arteries. It must be a sinless torrent. Brit where is the king? 1 see a great many thrones and a great many occupants, yet none seeiri to becom ing down to the rescue. But after awhile tb j clock of night in Bethlehem strikes 12, aril the silver pendulum of a star swing? ac.*o?*i thesky, and I seethe King of Hoaveh rising up, and He descends and stops down from star to star, and from cloud to cloud, lower and lower, until He touches the sheep cov ered bills, and then on to another hill, this last skull shaped, and there, at the sharp stroke of persecution, a nil incarnadine trickles down, and we who could not be redeemed by monev are redeemed by precious and imperial blood f We have in this day^professe 1 Christians who are so rarefied’aril etherealizel that they do not want a religion of blood. What do you want? You seem to want a religion of brains. The Bible says, “In the bloot i; the life.” No atonement without Wool. Ought not the apostle to know? Wh it did he say? “Ye are redeemed not with cor ruptible things, such as silver and gold, but by the precious bioei of Christ.” You nut your lanCelet into the arm of our holy relig ion and withdraw the blood, an 1 you leave it a mere corpse, fit only for the grave. Why did God command the priests of old to strike the knife into the kid, and the goat, and the pigeon, and the bullock, aud the lamb 9 It was so that when the blood rushed out from these animals on the floor of the ancient tabernacle the people should be compelled to think of the coming carnage of the Son of God. No blood, no atonement. I think that God intended to impress us with a vividness of that color. The green of the grass, the blue of the sky, would Vrot have startled and arouse lus like this deep crimson. It is as if God had said* “Now, sinner, wake up and see what the Saviour endured for you. This is not water. This is not wine. This is blood. It is the blood of My Son. It is the blood of the immacu late. It is the blood of God.” Without the shedding of blood is no remission. There has been many a man who, in courts of law, has pleaded “not guilty,” who nevertheless has been condemned because there was bloo l found on his hands or blood found in his room, and what shall we do in the lasbday if it it be found that we have re^rueifted the Lord of Glory and have never repented of it? You must believe in tho blood or die. No escape, Unless you let th« sacrifice of Jesus go in your stead you yourself must suffer. It is either Christ’s blood cr your blood “Oh,” says some one, “the thought of blood sickens me.” Good. God intended it to sicken you with your sin. Do not act as though you had nothing to do with that Cal- varian massacre. You had. Your sins were the implements of torture. Those im plements were not made of steel and iron and wood sc much as out of your sins. Guilty of this homicide, and this regicide, and this deicide, confess your guilt to-day. Ten thousand voices of heaven bring iu the verdict against you of guilty, guilty! Pre pare to die or believe in that blood. Stretch yourself out for the sacrifice or accept the Saviour’s sacrifice. Do not fling away your one chance. It seems to me as if all heaven were try ing to bi d in your souk The first bid it makes is the tears of Christ at the tomb of Laza rus, but that is not a high enough price. The next bid heaven makes is the sweat of Gethsemane, but it is too cheap a price. The next bid heaven makes seems to be the whipped back of Pilate’s hall, but it is not a high enough price. Can it be possible that heaven cannot buy you in? Heaven tries once more. It says: “I hid this time for that man’s soul the tortures of Christ’s mar tyrdom, the blood on His temple, the blood on His cheek, the blood on His chiu, the blood on His hand, the blood on His side, the blood on His knee,the blood on His foot—the blood in drops, the blood in rills, the blood in pools coagulated beneath the cross; the blood that wet the tips of the soldiers’ spears, the blood that plashed warm in the face of His enemies.” Glory to God, that bid wins it! The high est price that was ever paid for anything w as paid ior your soul. Nothing could buy it but blood! The estranged property is brought back. Take it. “You have sold yourself for naught; and ye shall be re deemed without money.' O atoning blood, cleansing blood, life giving blood, sanctify ing blood, glorifying blood of Jesus! Why not ourst into tears at tne tnougnt tnat ror thee He shed it-—for thee the hard hearted, for thee the lost? “No,” says someone, “I will have noth ing to do with it except that, like the ene mies of Christ, I put both in v hands into that carnage and scoop up both palms full, and throw it on my head and cry, “His blood be on us and on our children!’ ” Can you do such a shocking thing as that? Just rub your handkerchief across your brow and look at it. It is th i blood of tho Son of God whom you have despised and driven hack all these years. Oh, do not do that any longer! Come out boldly and 1 rankly an i honestly, and tell Christ you are sorry. You cannot afford to so roughly treat Him upon whom everything depends. I do not kno w how yon will get away from this subject. You see that you are sold ou’, and that. Christ wants to buy you back. There are three persons who come after you to-day—God tho Father, God the Sou and God the Holy Ghost. They unite their three omnipotences in one movement for your sal vation. You will not tike up arms against the triune God, will you? Is there enough muscle in your arm for such a combat? By the highest throne in heaven, and by the deepest chasm in hell, ! beg you look out. Unless you allow Christ to carry away your sins, they will carry you away. Unless you allow Christ to lift you up, they will drag you down. There is only one hope for you, and that is tho bloo f. Christ, tho sin offer in?, bearing vour trails ires sious. Ch rist the divine Cyrus, loosening your Babylonish captivity. Would ydu nob like to be free? Here is the price of your liberation—not money, but blood. I tremble from hea 1 to foot, not be cause I fear your presence, but because I fear that you will miss your chance for im mortal rescue. This is the alternative divinely put, “Ho that believeth ou the Son shall have everlasting life; and he that be lieveth not on the Son shall not sei life, but tho wrath of God abideth on him.” In the last day, if you now reject Christ, every drop of that sacrificial blool, instead of pleading for your release as it would have pleaded if you had repented, will plead against you. O Lord God of the judgment day! avert that calamity! Let us seo the quick flash of t he scimeter that slays the sin nut saves the sinner. Strike, omnipotent God, for the soul’s deliverance! Beat, O eternal sea! with all thy waves against tho barren beach of that rocky soul and make it tremble. Oh, the oppressiveness of tho hour, tho minute, the second on which the soul’s destiny quivers, and this is that hour, that minute, that second! .>ome years ago there came flown a fierce storm ou the seacoast, and a vessel got in the breakers and was going to pieces. They throw up some signal of distress and the peo ple on shore saw them. They put out in a lifeboat. They come on, and they saw the poor sailors, almost exhausted, clinging to a raft; and so afraid were the boatmen that the men would give uo before they got to them they gave them three rounds of cheers and cried: “Hold on, there! hold on! We’ll save you!” After awhile the boat came up. One man was save l by having thi boathook put Hi the collar of his coat, and some in one way and some in another; but they all got into the boat. “Now,” says the captain, “for thn shore. Pull away now, pull!” The people on tho land were afraid tho lifeboat had gone down. They said: “How long the boat stays. Why, it must have been swamped an I they have all perished together.” And there were men and wo men on the pier head sand on the beach wring ing their hands; and while they waited and watched they saw something looming up through the mist, ami it turned out ta be tho lifeboat. As soon as it came within speak ing distance the people on tho shore cried out : “Did you save any of them? Did you save any of them?” Aud as the boat swept through the boiling surf ami came to tho pier head the captain wared his hand over the exhausted sailors that lav flat on the bot tom of tne boat am criea - “Ail saved! Thank God! All saved!” Ho It may be to-day. The waves of your sin run high, the storm is on you, but I cheer you with this Gospel hope. God grant that within the next ten minutes we may row with you into tho harbor of God’s mercy. And when these Christian men gather around to see the result of this service, and the glorified gathering on the pier heads of heaven to watch aud to listen, may we be able to report all saved! Young and old, good and bad! All saved! Have?for time. Saved for eternity. “And so it came to pass ttiat they all escape! safe to land.” 1 he .result order lias a total member ship o!
