Im. DR. TALHAGE. HOTKD DEVICE'S SUNDAY ibbuon. T*xt: "The day is at hand. "?Romans Xilf., 12. Back from tho mouutains and the seaside, and the springs, and tho farmhouse, your cheeks bronzed and your spirits lighted, I hail you homo again with tho words of Oehazi to tho Shunummito: "Is it woll with theo? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child?" On some faces I seo the ranrk oi recent grief, but all along tho track of tears I seo tho story of resurrection and reunion when nil tears are done: the deop plowing of tho keel, followed by tho flash of the phosphorescence. Now that I have uskei you iu regard to your welfare, you naturally usk how I am. Very well, thank you. Whether it was tho bracing air of tho mountains, or a bath in tho surf of Long Island beach, or whether it is tho joy of standing in this great group of warm I nearted friends, or whether it is a now npi procintion of the goodness of Ood, I can not toll. I simply know I inn happy. It was said that John MoiTatt, the groat Methodist preacher, occasionally got fast in r? his sermon, and to extricate himself would cry "Hallelujah!" I am in no such predicament to-day, but I aiu full of the same rhapsodic ejaculation. Starting out this moraine on a now ecclesiastical year, I want to givo you tho keynote of my next twelvemonths' miuistry. I want to set it to tho tunes of "Antiooh," "Ariel" and "Coronation." I want to put a new trumpet stop into my sermons. Wo do wrong if wo allow our personal sorrows to interfere with the glorious fact that the Kingdom is coning. Wo are wicked if we allow apprehension of National disaster to put down our faith in ' Ood and tho mission of our American people. The God who hath been on the side of this Nation sinco the it^ of July. 17<C. will sec to it that this Nation shall not eonruit iuioldo on November 3, 1890. By tho time tho unparalleled harvests of this summer get down to tho sea-board, wo shall bo standing in a.sunburst of National prosperity that will paralyze tho pessimists, who by "their evil prophesies are blaspheming tho Ood who hath blest this Nation as lie hath blost no I other." In all our Christinn work you and I want | more of tho element of gladness. No mnn had a right to say that Christ never inugh-d. Do you suppose that lie was glum at tho wedding in Cana of Galilee? Do you suppose that Christ was unresponsive when tho children c'nmbored over His kueo aiul shoulder at Mia own invitation? Do you suppose that the Evangelist meant nothing when lie said of Christ: "lie rejoiced in spirit?" Do you believe that tho Divine 'Christ who pom's all the waters over tho ? roeks at Vernal Fulls. Yosemlte. does not believe in the sparkle and gallop and tumultuous joy aud rushing raptures of human life? 1 believe not only that tho morning laughs, and that the mountains laugh, ami that the seas laugh, and that tho cascades laugh, but that Christ laughed. Moreover, tho outlook of tho world ought to stir us to gladness Astronomers disturbed'ninny people by telling them that there was danger of stellar collision. Wo were told by these astronomers that there are worlds coming very near together, and that we shall have plagues and wars aud tumults and perhaps tho world's destruction. Do not bo scared. If you have over stood at a railroad centre, where ten or twenty or thirty rail tracks cross each other, v and seen that by the movement of the switch one or two inches, the train shoots this way and that, without colliding, then you may understand how llfiy worlds may come within an inch of disaster, and that inch be as good as r. million miles. If a human switch-tender can shoot the trains this way and that without harm, caunot tho hunri that for thousands of years lias upheld the universe, keep our litllo world out of hnn^^^Wiiy? Christian geologists tell us _^^afh|^^HBtoorld was millions of years in Well^v. 1 - -' think God would take millions of years to build a house which was to last only six thousand years. There is nothing in the world or outsi.lo the world, terrestrial or astronomical. to eito dismav. 1 wish that some si<mf Gospel breozo might scatter all the malaria of human foreboding. The sun rose this morning at about 0 o'clock, and 1 think that is just about the hour in the world's history. '"The day is at hand." The ilrst rav of the dawn [see iu i the gradual substitution of diplomatic skill < for human butchery. Within tiie last twenty- I five years thero have been international differences which would have brought a shock i o'. arms in any other day, but which wore peacefully adjusted, the pen taking the ptaco of the sword. The Yenczue'an controversy < iu any other ngo of the world would have brought shock of arms, but now Is being so I quietly adjusted that no ouo knows just how | it is being settled. The Alabama question in any other age of < the world WOUlil have caused war between t the United States and England. How was i 1t settled? Hy men-of-war off the Narrows, j or off the Mersey? No. A few wise men got I into a quiet room at Geneva, talked the i matter ??vt r, and telegiaphod to Washington i and London. "AH settled." l'eace! Peace! i England pays to the United States the t amount awarded?-pays really more than she i ought to have paid. Hut still, all that Ala- i bate.a broil is settled?settled for forever, i Arbitration instead of battle. 3 So the quarrel about the Canadian fli*h- I eries in any other ago would have caused 1 war between the United States and England. 1 So thoSnmoan eontroversv in any other ago < would have brought Gernianv and the 1 United States into bloody collision, lhtt all is settled. Arbitration instead of battle. \ Urn .will never again, 1 tluuk. through ; the peceadillo of an Ambassador, bring on a > battle with other Nations. She sees that j ? God, in punishment at Sedan, blotted out ' < the French Umpire, and the only aspirant for that throne who hnd any right of ex- < pectation <1 es in a war that lias not eveuthe 1 dignity of being respectable. What is the i leaf that England would like to tear out t of her history? The Zulu war. Down with t the sword and up with the treaty. i Wo in this country might betier have set- < tied our sectional difficulties by arbitration j than by the trial of the sword. Philan- 1 thropy said to thu North: Pay down a cor- | tain amount of money for the purchase of 1 the sliivi and let all those Itorn aftor n <"'p- 1 iiiin time no born free." Philanthropy said to tin* South: '"You soil your slaves, anil get i rid of this great National contest and trou- > ble." The North replied: "I won't pay a i cent." Tim South replied- '! won't sell." s War! War! A million dead mon, and a Na- \ tional dolit which might havo around this f Nation to powi'.or. Why did wo not let William H. Seward, of Now York, and Alex- i under II. Stephens, of Georgia, go out and < spend a few days under the trees on the J hanks of the Potomac and talk the matter s over and settle it. as settle it they could, > rather than the North pay in cost of war y four billion seven hundred million dollars, i and the South pay four billion seven hull- t dred and titty milium dollars, tho destroying i angel leu vim; the llrat-hurii dead in so many < houses all fiewav from 1 he Penobscot to the i Alabama. Ye aged men whose sons fell in 1 the strife, do you uot think that would have < been better? Oh, yes! We have come to bo- ' lieve, I think, in this country, that arbitra- I tion is better than battle. i 1 may be mistaken, but 1 hope that the last I war between Christian Nations is ended. I Herbarium may mix their war paint, and Chinese and Japanese go into wholsesnle | massacres, and Afghan and Zulu hurl pots* < onod arrows, but I think Christian Nations i have gradually learned that war is disaster i to victor as well as vanquished, and that til- | most anything bought by Moo i is bought at i too dear a price. I wish to Clod this Nation might boa model of willingness for arbitration. No i.eed of killing another Indian. No need"! ? leritleing nnv more brave General .Custer.-. Stop exasperating the red men, aud there will be do more arrows shot oat from the ambushments. AOoneral of the United States Army In high reputo throughout this laud, and who, pertmps, hud boon Id more Indian wars thau any other ofTlcer, and who had been wounded afain and again in bohalf of our Ooverument in battle against tho Indians, told me that all tho war9 that had ever occurred between Indians and white men had been provoked by white men, and that thero was no exception to the rule. While wo are arbitrating with Christian Nations let us toward barbarians carry ourselves in a manner unprovocative pf contest. Let mo put myself in tboir place: I inherit a largo estate, nud the waters are rich with fish, nud tho woods are songful with birds, and my cornfields aro Bilker and golden. Hero is my sister's grave. Out yonder, under tho large troe, my father died. An invudor comes, uud proposes to drive mo off r.nd take possession of my property. He crowds mo back, ho crowds mo on, and crowds mo into a closer corner, until, after a while, I say: "Stand back, uon't crowd mo any more, or I'll strike. What right have you to come here uud drive mo off my promises/ I got this furm from my father and lie got it from his father. What right have you to como here and molest me'/" You blandly say: "Ob, 1 kuow inoro thau you do. I belong to a higher civilization. I cut my hair shorter than you do. I could pul tliis grouud to n great deal botler use than you do." And you keep crowding me back anil crowding me on into the closer eoruar and closer corner, uutil one day 1 look around upon my suffering family, and llred by their hardships 1 hew you in t\ratu. Forthwith all tho world comes to your funeral to prouounco eulogium. comes to my execution to unathetnatizo me. You aro the hero, I am tho culprit. Behold the United States Government and the North American Indian. Tho red man nas stood more wrongs thau I would, or you. Wo would have struck sooner, deeper. That which is right in defence of a Washington home is right in dofenco of a homo ou top of the Sierra Nevada. Before this dwindling red race dies completely out, I wish that this generation might by common justice atone for tho Inhumanity of its predecessors. In tho day of Go l's judgment, I would rather bo a blood-smeared Modoc tlinn a swia lliug Untied States ofilcor ou an Indian reservation! Oao was a barbarinu anil a savage, and never pretended to bo anything but a bnrbariau and a savage. Tho other protended to bo a reprosoutativo of a Christian Nation. Notwithstanding all this, the general disgust with war and tho substitution of diplomatio skill for tho glittering edge of keen steel Is n sign unmistakable that "tho day is at hand." I find another ray of dawn in the compression of tho world's distances. What a slow, snail-like, almost impossiblo thing would have been the world s rectification with fourteen hundred millions of population and no facial means of communication; but now. through telegraphy for tho eye nud telephonic intimacy for tho oar, and through ster.m boa ting and railroading, tho twentyiivo tbousaud miles of tho world's clrcumference are shriveling up Into insignlfant brevity! Hong Kong Is nearer New York thau a few years ago New Haven was; Bombay, Moscow. Madras, Melbourne, within speakiug distance. Purchase a tolegraphtc chart, and by the blue linos see the tele graphs ot tho laud, and by tho red lines tho cables under tho ocean. You see what opportunity tliis is going to glvo for tho final movements of Christianity. A fortress may he months or years in building, but after it is constructed it may do all Its work iu twenty minutes. Christianity lias boon planting its batteries for nineteen centuries, and may go on in tho work through other centuries; but when those batteries are thoroughly planted, thoso fortresses are fully built, they may all do their work in twenty-four hours. Suppose Christ should descend ou tho Nations?muuy expect that Christ will como among the Nations personally?suppose that to-morrow morning tho Son of God from a hovering cloud should descend upon theso cities. Should not thutjfact.bo known all the world over in twenty-four hours? Suppose He should present His Gospel in a fow words, Baying: "I am the Son of God; I came to pardon all your sius and to honlall your sorrow; to prove that I am a supernatural being, I have just descended from theelouds. Do you bjjieve Me, aiul <lo you bolievo Ma now?" Thy. nil the telegraph stations of the earth would bo crowded as uouo of tliem worn over crowded just niter u shipwreck. I loll you nil these tluu^s to show you it is not among the impossibilities or oven tho improbabilities that Carist will oou<|Uer tho whole earth, and do it m.sianter, when the time eoines. There are foretokening* in tltc air. Something great is going ti? happen. 1 do not think that Jupiter is going to run us down, or that the axle of the world is going to break; but 1 menu something groat for tho world's blessing niul not for tho world's damage is gftlng to happen. I think the world 1ms had it hard enough. Enough, the famines and plagues. Enough, tho Asiatic choleras. Enough, the wins. Enough, the diipwrecks. Enough, the conflagrations. I , think our world could staud right well a procession of prosperities and triumphs, [letter be on the lookout.

There is n class of phenomena which makes me think that the spiritual and heavenly world may. after n while, make a demonstration in this world which will bring all mortal and spiritual things to a climax. Now, I am no spiritualist; but every intelligent man has noticed that there are strange and mysiorious things which indicate to him that perhaps the spiritual world is not so far olT as sometimes we conjecture, an i that after awhile, from the spiritual an t heavenly world there, may ho a demonstration upon our world for its betterment. Wo call it magnotism, or we call it mesmerism, or wo call it eloetrielty, bocauso wo want soma term to cover up our ignorance. I do not know what it is. I never heard an audible voice from the other world. I am persuaded of this, however: That the veil between this world and (he next is getting thinner and thinner, and that perhaps after awhile, at the "mil of Go.i?not at the call of the Davenport Brothers, or Andrew Jae'.;son Davis? some of the old Scriptural warriors, some of the spirits of other days mighty for Ood?a Joshua, or a Caleb, or a David, or a Paul? mav eonio down and hnlp us in the battle ngiiiut unrighteousness. Oh, how I would like to have them hero?him oi tho Hod Son. him or the valley of Ajnloa, him of Mars' Hill! English history says that ll)bort Clayton, o( tho English cavalry, at tho close of tho war bought up all tho old cavalry horses lost they should bo turno.i out to drudgory and hard work, and bought a pieooof ground at Kuavesmire Heath an l turned out these old war-horses into tho thickest an I richest pasture to spend tho rost of thoir days as compensation for what they had done in other days. One day u thunderstorm came up and theso war-horses mistook tho thunder of tho skies for tho thunder of battle?and they wheeled into lino?no ridors on thoir back<?they wheeled into lino ready for tho fray. And 1 doubt m? whether, when tho last thunder of this battlo for God and truth goes booming through the heaven8, fhoold Serintural warriors can keep their places on their thrones. Mothinks they will spring into the fight ami exchange crown for holmot. tho palm branch for weapon, and come down out of tho King's galleries into the arena, crying: "Make room! I must light in this great Armageddon." The old war horses mingling In tho tight. llolovod pcop'o, I preach this sermon because I want you to toil with tho sunlight in your faces. I want ypu old men to understand before you dio that nil the work you did for God while yot your oar was alert and your foot tioot is golug to bo counted up in tho final victories.

Just think of a huge palace made entirely of hay! Such a structure lias just been decided upon by tho directors of the National Exposition to be hold at Toronto, Canada. A mammoth structure will be erected from hales of pressed hay on the exhibition grounds of the big American fair. It will bo used to advertise the vast hay-producing country of the West. Large hales of compressed hay will bo sent down fioin tho Northwest, and the building will bo built of tlieso blocks. When completed tho building will bo festooned with wheat and other grains in the sheaf and in bunches, and the entrance will be tastefully arranged. In?ido tho space will be divided off, so as to display tho exhibits from each district. Should it escape its great liability to destruction by tin! it will form an unique and picturesque feature of the exposition, and one of unusual attraction and interest to farmers. INTERESTING DECISION. Man Can lie a Citizen of the United States mill :i British Subject Too. Tho Mnstor-ln-Cbumbers at Toronto, Canada. honied out u decision in which It was stated that a man cnu bo both a citizen of Ltio United Stales and a subject of Great Britain at tho same time. Tho case was that in which tho agent of tho Now York Life Iosuranco Company in Paris, Franco, was suod by G. II. Bolton on it promissory note for $700 Tho defendant sought to sot asido tho writ on tho grounds that ho was a citizen of tho United States, and that tho servlooof tho writ should havo been tnudo on him personally Instead of on Ills solicitors. Tho plaintiff's solicitor, howuver, contended that Langmuir was both a British subject and an American citizen, ho never having abjured his nliegianco to tho English crown. Tho Master so decided and Laugmuir must appear on the writ of summons, which, according to tho decision, was properly served. Tlio decision established u precedent.

Keep praise alive, and there will be r.o lack of joy in the heart. Having faith In Christ is the -moat religious thing anyone ever dhl. It is a waste of breath for a preacher to preach higher than he lives. When God comes into our hearts he makes us feel akin to everybody. Worry in the Christian is a sure rign that he doesn't pray enough. The business of the preacher is not to defend the gospel, hut to preach it. Fight shy of the matt who -l.tinvs to be a Christian, but never pays Pis debts. No man lias any mercy on his own besetting sin, when he sees it in another. The man who gets rich in a hurry, generally becomes poor with the same rapidity. Whoever is making the religion of Christ attractive is helping to save the world. Nobody would ever lie lost if tbe devil could not make a sinner believe it is safe to sin. The masses would r.ot long remain indifTcr-'nt if all Christians were thoroughly in earnest. No matter how small a sin mnv he. every track it makes points straight toward the pit. Undertake to prove that there is no hell, and the devil will take off his eoat to help you. ..

The horn book, which was the first alphabet card, is described by it recent author as "a board of oak about nine Inches long, and five or six wide, on which was printed the alphabet, the nine digits and sometimes the Lord's prayer. It had a handle and was covered in front with a sheath of thin horn to prevent its being soiled, and the backboard tvas ornamented with a rude sketch of St. George and Ihe Dragon." This board and Its horn cover were held together by a narrow frame or border of brass. The oldest horn books were undoubtedly frequently used in the schools and common-rooms of the great monasteries. In/ the earliest specimens the leti, _ L \ fj " ! Iffe' .ASf OI?D IIOltN ItOOR, ten are arranged lu tho form of a Latin cross, with tlio A at tho top and Z at t'10 bottom.
