He Pictures a Train for Heaven and Cries "All Aboard." -*Xhe trouble with mest of us/, said Be?. T. De Witt Talmage in his ser mon Sundayt *is that we wsnt to ran the religions train. I say, keep off the engine I Let God manage it. The grade of life is so steep and so winding that DO one bot God can manage and , engineer the train that rona to heaven. I have made op my mind, after con? siderable experience, that those enter prises and those lives succeed best which are pot in God's hand. When Queen Victoria was awakened io the middle of the night and told that the poses awns of England were in her keeping. ?he said, 'Pray for me ;' and when, the tn?ft?atgr came with the official announcer ment, abe said, 'Let ns pray.' And new at the mention of her name in any land ao Englishman ..takes off hts --hat i aod saya instinctively, Hjro^a?v?Hn? ?Queen * She simply asked God to take care of her, and he did it.' Dr. Talmage opened hip ^aeraygyby ' describing the episode in David's life when he feigned insanity. .'A great many of the regal aod wise , of the earth/ said the preacher, *have played ' the fool. Any mao who takss his case oat of the hands of God is a fool. The most insignificant man in this house * has a life so significant and vast that no haman wisdom cao guide it. The winds of temptatioo and sin blow one mao into the harbor of heaven and another upon the. rocks of detraction, it is the way they' have tbiar sails-set. The trouble is we pot oar lives io the] bands of God aod theo take them oat ?gain. .That mao acts insane who allows- the technicalities of religion to atop his pro? gress. I know a great many men who are wise in all other subjects bot crook? ed on the technicalities of religion. Aoy fool can ask a question that a wise man can't answer. - That has passed into a proverb1. Oh7 wise men, can't you admit something ? Have yoo .a soul? Yes. Will it five? YesJ Where ? Your body wHl be laid six feet nader ground, where will your soul bet My brother, quit thia foolish question? ing aod ask the momentous one, not whether the serpent in the garden . waa a real or figurative one, bot how am I; going to get rid of my sins and prepare for beaven ? Hundreds of men go wrong because they think they see a discrepancy between Moses and Profes? sor Sillim an.-[Laughter.]. ? " 'What's that mao doing at Bowling Green ? He's after a transatlantic ticket. He's been there three weeks quarreling about the red spots upon the ticket, about the maoner io which it was hand? ed oat to bim. Already three steam? ers have sailed and the last tog boat that will carry him to the steamer that will take him across the ocean in time to keep bis engagement is whistling. Still he tarries. What do you thiok of iii as ? Yon say he is a fool. That is <h*way with a great many passengers for -salvation. They don't like the red spots 00 the ticket. They don't like the way the minister holds oat the gospel ticket. Go aboard ! Stop all this foolishness ! 'Again, that man acts insane who pays out eternity for time. What do we care about the wayside station where we dine? What is that place in-com? parison with the place for which we are ?bound ? This world is only a way sta? tion. It is like the hundredth part of a second compared to thc five hu od red million years eternity. Would Spain sell Coba for a bushel of wheat?'^It would be a better bargain than the man makes who pays oat eternity for time. Where's Crasas ? where's Cleopatra ? where Leotullus, who paid $180,000 for one fish ? If 00 a wtpdy day all the dust that is left of them should be blown into your eyes, it would bot make yon wick twice. [Laughter.) 'That man acts the insane part, who, while be admits his sinfulness, sets sal; oration down for future attention.;,, The word 'now' is found ic the Bi5fe -times. Where's the^^Bow/oU^m w?^ <died last week ? W?eresWWv'oi him who died last month I -XhcusaDds lose ?heaven because they don't understand <the momentum, the ponderosity of this word 'now.' They throw it away and take a bigger word bf efght ?\?Qt& ?Mo-morrow.' ' in conclusion, Dr. Talmage made an eloquent exhortation to his bearers to ?orne to Christ. Ele invited them not as some ministers did, he aai<I, because (lie thief on the cross was *aved, bu: because he {Tal mage J was saved. *{t was the happiest moment 0/ my; life wheo ? was converted/ said the preacher, his voice tret?fcHog with-, tioo. and the tears st cheeks, 'ft bas been my^9^^s^s%r row aod trouble, aod my joy at all times. I fooght against it just as. some of you are fighting against it now, bot I waa saved.

Come up aud sub A Hunter's Strange Luck. \ A^?feBafk?tfa?ia?>^ ne?t4he Napa... ands^?^mWv?o^tT'Hi^es, ?t? -whose name we withhold by request, tells the ioUowing-^tory of. a? remarkable shot: He^w?oirt m-thc mountains m quest of the festive buck, Monday, and had ex? perienced poor luck until about noon, when he spied a tall, magnificent deer raising his proud head over a rock pile at a distance of about 200 yards from him.. -The branches ptayoung madrona tree, formed a natural bronze-red and green frame above the . animal's head, e hesitated for some time in doubt of chancing a shot at that distance, the position of the target being so unfavor? able. He decided to risk it, however, and blazed away. When the little wreath of smoke had cleared away he found that the proudly crested head had t?onppeared. ^HtTTitado^s'way as rapidly as possible to the spot and found bis game awaiting him. After performing- tho customary surgical operation npon^the deer's throat with his hunting-knife, he commenced to look for the death-wound. What ap? peared to be a bullet hole was found in the centre of the deer's forehead. In passing his hand carelessly over the wound he detected a rough, sharp pro? tuberance. Thinking it was a piece of the shattered frontal bone he tried to -withdraw k. He was unable to move it at the first attempt, and commenced tugging in earnest. He finally succeed? ed, but, to his surprise, it was not a piece of skull. It was a splinter of madrona wood, four inches in length by an inch and a half or quarter of an inch thick, gradually narrowing to a point at one end. .Upon a careful examina? tion he found that his bullet had not touched the animal, but had struck one of the limbs of the madrona tree about six inches above his head, chopping out the splinter that had killed the .deer. The splinter withdrawn from the ani? mal's skull was fitted to ?ieiimb -above, and the result proved beyond a doubt that the deer was killed by the splinter of wood.-Sonoma {Cal.) Democrat. A Pen Pictur? nf G>o. W. Childs. Picture to the eye oue standing about 5 feet 7, with well-developed though somewhat stocky frame; a paunch just large enough toS indicate that good health and contented conscience make flesh;: a face round, ruddy, and with deep lushes of russet at the cheeks; a broad head, with a wide forehead, un? marked-, by j crease er wrinkle; a com ^dexiori^air and tightened with the trac? es of t?e warra and generous blood which pulsates through it; a mouth, not small or large, covering a perfect set oi teeth, and lips .of pink; chest deep and full; an eye of blue, full of expression and welcome; a voice gentle and assur? ing; and you have the outline of George W. Childs. In dress Mr. Childs' is scru ?pulouslyneat, _ His everyday costume ! ?s a dark cutaway coat, with pants and Vest of the best material, but of subdued color; over this au overcoat of black. He affects the typical American silk hat, looking spick and span. He wears bu little jewelry. I should imagine he wore a wig, because his hair seems just a shade too dark to naturally match his environment In habits Mr. Childs is most exempla Ty. He does not use intoxicants or use tobacco. Soon after 9 o'clock he reaches his office, where he remains until after 1. Then he walks to Drexel's bank and lunches with Mr. Drexel, one of his Warmest friends. No sooner than on the street than he becomes the object ol recognition. In a block he will be stop? ped a dozen times by his fellow-citizens, who are--just! y proud of him.
