AN AWFUL STEUGCrlE ?EV. Oft T ALM AGS PREACHES UPON ^ ^^^^^^ al throng of eager l^eners. PR, Tal niage preached on tho spiritual conflicts of life, taking for bis testfOenesis xxxr?, 24-26: "And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him ho touched ?he hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was ont of joint as he wrestled with him And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go ex? cept thou bless me. " The dost arose from a traveling herd of cattle and sheep and goats and cam? els.

He knew not-how stealthily it was growing upon him. One hour he woke up. He said, "For the sake of my soul, of my family, and of my chjddren,. and of mm ?|fod^ I must-, stop this!"" And, bencloVhe'found him? self alone hy the brook Jabbok, and it was midnight That evil appetite seiz ed upon mm, and he seized upon it, and, once a^ 1^^D|? h^&onse^ itself np will destroy it, all heaven draws itself out in a long line of light to look from above, and hell stretches itself in myr? midons of spite to look up from beneath I have seen men rally themselves for sucha Struggle, and they have bitten their lip and clinched their fists and cried, with a blood red earnestness and a ram of scalding tears, "God help me!" The Giant Habit. From a wrestle with habit I have seen men fall back defeated. Calling for no help, but relying on their own reso? lutions, they have come into the strug? gle, and for a time it seemed as if they j were getting the upper hand of their ! habit, but that habit rallied again its infernal power and lifted a son 1 from its standing, and with a force borrowed from the pit hurled it into utrer dark? ness. First I saw the auctioneer's mal? let fall on the pictures and mt&ical in- j Strumen ts and the rich upholstery of his family parlor. After awhile 1 saw him fall into the ditch. Then, in the midnight, when the children were dream? ing their sweetest dreams and (Christian households are silent with slumber, an? gel watched, I heard him give the sharp shriek that followed the stab ol! his own poniard. He fell from an honored social position; he fell from a family circle of which once he was the grandest attrac? tion; he fell from the house of God, at whose altars he had been consecrated; he fell-forever! But, thank God, I have often seen a better termination than that I have seen men prepare themselves for such a wrestling. They laid hold of (Sod's help as they went into combat. The giant habit, regaled by the cup of many temptations, came out strong and defiant They clinched. There were the wri things and distortions of a fearful struggle. But the old giant began to waver, and at last, in the midnight alone, with none but God to witness, by the brook Jabbok, the giant fell, and the triumphant wrestler^ broke the dark? ness with the cry, "Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." There is a j widow's heart that first was desolated j by bereavement and since by the anx I ie^iesand trials that au?in the support, j of a family.

Learn again from tiiLs "subject that people sometimes are surprised to find ? out that what they have been strug- ! gtiag with in the darkness is really an i "angel of blessing. " Jacob found in the j morning that this strange personage was not an enemy, but a God dispatched messenger to promise prosperity for him and fdr his children. And so many a man, at the close of his trial, has found out that he. has been trying to throw down his own blessing. If you are a j Christian, man, I will go back in your. ? history and fin?rfhat the grandest things that Tiave ever happened to you have been jour trials.

After Bossini had rendered ?HrY?TiiamT?ll" the five hundredth time ^ Company of^ mnsicaans.caitte under his window "in Paris and serenaded him. They put upon his brow a golden crown of laurel leaves. But amid all the ap? plause ?nd enthusiasm Bossini turned to a friend and said, "I would give all this brilliant scene for a few days of youth and love. ' * Contrast the melancholy feel? ing of Bossini, wnp had everything this world could give him, to the joyful ex? perience of Isaac Watts, whose misfor? tunes^ were innumerable, when he says: The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields v.

It is prosperity that kills and trouble j that saves. While the Israelites were on the march, amid great privations and hardships, they behaved well. After awhile they prayed for meat, and the sty darkened with a great fleck of I quails, and thase quails fell in large I multitudes all about them, and the Is I raelites ate and ate and stuffed them ? selves until they died. Oh, my friends, I it is not hardship or trial or starvation j that injures the soul, but abundant sup I ply. It is not the vulture of trouble ? that eats up the Christian's life; it is ! the quails, it is the quails! You will I yet find ou* that your midnight wrestle I by the brook Jabbok is with an angel I of God, come down to bless and save. Leam again that while our wrestling with trouble may be triumphant we j must expect that it will leave its mark i upon us. Jacob prevailed, but the angel ! touched him, and his thigh bone sprang j from its socket, and the good man went i limping on his way. We must carry j through this world the mark of the j combat. What plowed those premature ! wrinkles in your face? What whitened ! your hair before it was time for frost? i What silenced forever so much of the j hilarity of your household? Ah, it is be ! cause the angel of trouble hath touched j you that you go limping on your way. j You need not be surprised that those j who have passed through the fire do I not feel as gay as once they did. j Do not be out of patience with those j who come not out of their despondency. \ They may triumph over their loss, and j yet their gait shall tell you that they j have been trouble touched. Are we ? stoic? that we can, unmoved, see our i cradle rifled of the bright; eyes and the ' sweet lips? Can we stand unmoved and see our gardens of earthly delight up? rooted? Will Jesus, who wept himself, j be angry with us if wc pour our te:irs j into the graves that open to swallow down what we love best? Was Lazarus more dear to him than our beloved dead tons? No. Wo have aright to weep. Our tears must come. You shall not 1 drive them back to scald t he heart. They fall into God's bottle. Afflicted ones have died because they could not weep. Thank God for the sweet, the .myste? rious'relief that comes to ns in ''tears! Under this gentle rain the- -flowers of corn put forth their bloom,.

" The world's pros? pects are brightening. The church of Christ is rising up in its strength to gp f orth"f tic as the moen, clear as the sun and "terrible as an army with banners. * Clap. your hands, all ye people, tho day breaketh.

The time was when we woEOfrtoktwthat if we-wanied *tor get, to heaven, wo must be immersed or.sprin kled, or vb mx?t believe in the; perse? verance- ox tn^ saints, or rn falling away ' from grace, or a liturgy, or no liturgy, or they must be Calvinists or Armin ians in order to reach heaven.

The/gates nf the eastf?fegin ~to swing open Theia?y breaketh. Luther and Melanchthon were talking together gloomily about the prospects of the church They could see no hope of deliverance. After awhile Luther got up and said to Mel an ch th on: "Come, Philippi let us sing the forty-sixth psalm of David: *God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,-and though the moun? tains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled; though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Se? lah.'" L The-peath Straggle. DesMb many, nay to all, is a strug? gle and a wrestle.^ We have many friends that it will be hard to leave. J care not how bright our future hope is. It is a bitter thing to look upon this fair world and know that we shall nev? er again see its blossoming spring, its falling fruits, ?tssparkling, streams and. to say farewell to those with whom we played in childhood or counseled in manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we may have to wrestle, but God will not leave us unblessed. It shall not be told in heaven that a dying soul cried unto God for help, but was not delivered. The lattice may be turned to keep out the sun, or a book set to dim the. light of the midnight taper, or the room may be filled with the cries of orphan? age and widowhood, or the church of Christ may mourn over our going, but if Jesus calls all is well The strong wrestling by the brook will cease; the hour of death's night will pass along 1 o'clock in the morning; 2 o'clock in the morning; 4 o'clock in the morning. The day breaketh. So I would have it when I die. I am in no haste to be gone. I have no grudge against thi s world. The only fault I have to find with the world is that it treats me too well, but when the time comes to go I trust to be ready, my worldly affairs all settled. If I have wronged others, I want then to be sure of their forgiveness. In that last wrestling, my arm enfeebled with sickness and my head faint, I want Jesus beside me. If there be hands on this side of the flood stretched out to hold me back, I want the heavenly hands stretched out to draw me forward. Then, O Jesus, help me on and help me up. Unf earing, undoubting, may I step right out into the light and be able to look back to my kindred and friends who would detain me here, ex? claiming: "Let me go; let me go. The day breaketh!" Cooling: Water. It is not generally known that water may be cooled ah: 4ost to ice water tem? perature by putting it into an unglazed earthen jar and hanging it in a current of air. The water permeates the porous vessel and evaporates rapidly, thus cool? ing the water in a very short tima New York Ledger. An Answer. A rather gayly dressed young lady asked her Sunday class, ' 'What is meant by the pomps and vanities of the world?' ' The answer was honest, but rather unexpected, "Them flowers in your hat. "-London Tit-Bits. Sir Andrew Clark's Aphorisms. The late Sir Andrew Clark, Mr. Glad? stone's physican, made use of the three following aphorisms during a conversa? tion with Miss Frances Willard: "Labor is the life of life." "Ease is the way to disease." "The highest life of an organ lies in the fullest discharge of its func? tions." There is a feast of food for re? flection in these three sentences. Stephen Elliott's Herbarium. Dr. Nathaniel Lord Britton, of j Colombia College, .New York, an emt I nent young specialist io botany, re j cenily spent several days in this city j examining the herbarium of Stephen I Elliott, one of the treasores of the j Museum, of the College of Charleston : and probably the mon valuable herba ! riuui in the State with -the exception j of that collected and prepared by the I late Henry W Ravenel. ? . In the February bulletin of the ! Torrey Botanical Club Dr Britton has the following interesting note on the herbarium of Stephen.Elliott : .'It will be ^ofe'interestti? botanists to know that' the pfans" on which Elliot's "Sketch of the Botany of South Carolina and Georgia/ published at Charleston, S C , from 1816 to 1824/ is ba-ed are preserved in the Museum of the College of Charleston and are readily accessible to students. The collection is unmounted and is tied up io some thirtv large volumes. It is in a moderately g?nd state of preservation, some portions of it having unfortunate? ly 'Tfcelf-^^ depredations*. contains^ besides? bis QWO collectionsfio tba region ?oteted by his book, many specimens from Schweinitz, Rafioesqoe, Torrey, Oakes and Mublenberg, and from his col leagues, Drs.-Bald wiu and Macbride and Mr. Gourdin. The representation of material from Mublenberg is.probably more extensive than in any other collection tn America, tod this is a most important circumstance, because Muh len berg's own''herbarium, in charge nf the American Philosophical Society at Philadelphia, is in very bad order, imperfectly preserved and not very easily consulted. I found that a v?ry ! large number of the species of Mub? lenberg. tim published by Willdenow in bis 'Species PJ*ntarrah aod rS2ou meratio,' are represented by authentic specimens io the Elliott herbarium. Inasmuch as the only other consider? able Dumber of them is to be found io WiUdeoow's herbarium at Berlin we have here ao easy and io most cases satisfactory method of verifying the original descriptions. The herbarium is in charge of Dr. Gr E. Maoigauk, to whom I am indebt? ed for much courtesy and: mho- greatly facilitated "wyfc studies."^New? and Courier. . M Miitm* voa munt six. nb KMIT I ?
