The Oiling of Machinery. 1
An investigator who likos to get 1
down to line points has been figuring 1
out tlie dllicrr u< o in the oiling ol 1
watches and locomotives. A good watch
iuoils oiling once in a year to a year
and n half. A locomotive oiled in the 1
name way should run sixty miles an 1
hour day and night for <548 days, or
nearly forty times tho circumference *
of the earth. Ho says thnt as loconio- *
tivo:- have to he oiled every day the
watt lint a Iter must have brought his
tirt to a nun it higher degree of perfee- ^
tiott than the ntan who has built the '
lot emotive. As a matter of fact the
eases are not parallel. The watch is 1
most tarefitlly protected from (lie air.
lust and foreign substances. The locomotive
tints through dirt, dust, cln- \
lets and debris of till sorts, much of
which, as a matter of course, works
into the machinery. If this man could J
hi" p a !o outotivc in a glass case and
on it mid care for It as completely as
he dot > liiu watch, he might be ablo *
to make some figures, but under the :

AN AUTUMN_ MORNING,
The frost's agleam where the dew was dripping
Just la the space of n day agone;
The rose-deep odge of tho sun Is slipping
Through mellow mesh of the autumn
dawn.
Bong of neither the thrush nor the ilnnot
Rises and sweeps In a broken flow;
Only the breeze on a sweet brier splnaet,
Shivers a pensive adagio.
The frost's agleam on the path I follow;
Scarlet velvot the witoh-nnzol spreads r
Adown the slope of tho old mill hollow.
Where doddor tanglos its lustrous threads.
What Is there left of the summer's story?
The faded roses, the daisies lost?
What of her opulent glow and glory.
Quenched in the fllm of an autumn frost?
Deep in the frlngo of its willow cover,
Where juveliu-polnts of sun are thrust,
The stream that sung to asummer lover
Echoes tho song of nn ended trust.

* btokt or a romance in real LirE. &
HERE is a now
w- daughter-in-law at
tho home of the Van
JP^?J, Amiens in tho vil
I lage of Islip, L. I.
I All agree that she is
' - I $85?^ win8ome an(i i^at
young Frauk Van
I Anden made no mistake
when he fell in love with her, but
that is nbout the only point upon
which the busy tongues of rumor can
agree in the pretty littlo village of
country homes. If one should wait
in the village long enough, he could
hear almost any romantio story he
chose, for every yarn in that quiet
Bummer resort unravels with marvelous
rapidity.
But the fact remains that the many
friends of the Van Andens received a
surprise when they heard that Frank
Vau Andcn was married, and that without
any announcement or cards the
bride had been received into the homo
and hearts of the family circle.
William M. Van Anden is VicePresident
of the Eaglo Warehouse and
Storage Company in Brooklyn. He
has a liouso on Pierrepont street, on
tho Heights, in Brooklyn. In a place
where ground is very valuable ho has
a large lawn surrounding tho house
and a summer house in the garden on
one side. His four-story brownstono
front is one of the most conspicuous
in tno block. Ho has retired from
active business, but 1ms an oGico in
tho Franklin Building, at Montague
and Clinton streets, Brooklyn, for bo
still occasionally puts through some
big deals in real estate.
The summer home of tho Van Aniens
is at Islip. It is on Ocean avenue,
six doors from the corner of tho
main street. Tho grounds aro large,
the lawns beautiful aud the trees back
nf the houso and surrounding tho stable
are as douse as those of a forest.
Mrs. Van Andcn and her two daughters,
Misses Estello and Louise, have
always been leaders iu the society of
[slip, and in Brooklyn tho iamily
moves in the best circles. They come
from the original Duteli Van Andens.
The family took a pleasure trip to
Europe in June of last year. Frank
STan Anden, a Cornell student, ono of
ho handsomest boys whoever entered
ho freshman class and a clever nthete,
wont with them. In Cornell he
vas a member of the Psi Upsilon fraerniiy.
"While ho was in Berlin
Frank told his father that he would
ike very much to remain in Germany
i year, so that he could acquiro a
ipoaking knowledge of German. He
lad made up his mind to go into busiless
and thought that a knowledge of
lerman would enable him to get a
letter place on his return. The famly
consented, and went on with the
'emainder of the trip in Europo witli>ut
the son. They trnvelod through
Russia, and as they were about to reurn
to America they went through
rtai-i;? a., i
lau uuy nuuiiior cuance
o conifl homo with thorn. But Frank
old thorn that ho had become ac(uaintcd
with a young physician, who
van an intellectual companion, and
hat ho would therefore stay his year
>ut.
Betters were received regularly by
dr. Van Andcn from the young stulent.
They came promptly in response
o generous remittances, for young
Tan Anden told his father that tho
ory best way to speak German fluent y
was to associate with peoplo who
mow how to speak it. Ho also said
hat ho was get ling a general knowledge
if human nature which would prove
nvaluable when he returned to Amerca.
Ho returned to America about two
Qonths ago. The family were then
iving at their town house in Pierropont
troot. Frank astonished his sisters
rith the fluency of his German. They
md been to Vassar and had learned
lermau from books. They had to
bink hard when they spoke in German,
but Frank could answer them
ight off the reel so fast that it made
is sisters dizzy trying to understand
iim.
"It is easy to speak German,'' ho
aid to his father, "but to write it is
nother thing. That requires a tcaehr.
Now, father, if I could only write
lorman I could get a much moro reponeiblo
placo in the oflico of the
tealty Company than I now hold.
Ir. William Zeigler has promised that
rlien I can write German lie will make
le head of the German deportment,
think it would be a good idea for j'ou
o advertise for a teacher who could
astrnct me in German composition."
Mr. W. II. Van Anden, the father,
aid to the Evening Hun reporter that
o sooner did he hear the suggestion
lian he acted upon it. He ordered an
dvertisement put in the paper, askig
for a competent instructor in |
lirmnu composition, He had is- j
Eected to receive a reply from * men,
at before be got home that night his
daughters had engaged a young woman
who presented herself in response to
the advertisement, 'the young German
woman had suggested that, in
addition to teaohing the young man of
the house to write, she would be
pleased to help the young women in
their German conversation. That
struck the girls as being a good plau,
and the young teaoher made herself so
agreeable that she was engaged on the
spot. When Frank Van Anden came
home that night, and was informed
that a young woman was engaged as
his writing instructor, he pretended
to bo very much upset. He said ho
had hoped that a man would Answer
tho advertisement, so that he could
act with more freedom. But his sisters
said that the young German
woman was very sweet, and they
begged him not to ask his father to
dismiss her.
After that tho young woman, who
I said that she was Miss Ida Kossbcrcr.
recently from Berlin, went to the
homo of the Van Andeus about three
nights every week to givo the son
writing lessons in German. Chivalry
required that somo one should take
her homo after the lessons, but Mr.
Van Auden senior always pleaded that
he was too tired, and urged Frank to
go home with the teacher. Frank always
returned promptly from his mission
and the lessons went on. Miss
Kessberg seemed, to bo a little older
than her pupil, and the suspicions of
the family were not aroused.
While the summer home was being
put in readiness Frank Van Anden
decided to discontinue his writing lessons.
Besides ho had made such
rapid progress that there was little uso
of continuing them. Ho took up his
residence at the old Dominee House at
Bayshore, the next station to Islip on
the Long Island Bailroad coming toward
this city. The family moved
into the Islip house about a month ago.
They had not been there Lorg when
Mr. Van Anden was passing through
the village and met an old friend. She
said to him, "Allow me to congratulate
you, Mr. Van Anden."
"You are very kind," Mr. Van
Anden says ho replied, thinking that
she was congratulating him upon having
recently recovered his country
home by means of a foreclosure. Ho
lmd sold it two years ago, but tho
purchaser had not paid up and Mr.
Van Anden hnd been able to get his
old country place back only by foreclosing
the mortgage. He had already
received tho congratulations of half
tho villagers at being once more back
in Islip.
'l' rauk certainly showed good taste,"
the friend went on to say. "She is a
nice girl."
"Who's a nice girl?" said Mr. Van
Audon, taking a renewed interest in
tlio conversation.
"Why, your new daughter-in-law."
"I have no new daughter-in-law."
"Then Frank must be joking, for
yesterday he introduced me to a cnarmiug
young German girl who, lie said,
was his wife. Ho told me not to tell
papa, and, of course, that is exactly
why I drove over to tell you."
Mr. Vnu Andon lost no time in getting
over to Bayshore. Tliero he met
his son. Explanations were iu order.
It turned out that Frank Van Aiulen
had married Miss Kessberg in Berliu.
She was t\ ^ears older than he was,
and he had n*. ? asked his parents' consent.
Ho was not yet in receipt of a
salary of any kind, but he did not intend
to lose such an excellent opportunity.
There were girls in America, but
thero were ncne who talked such
sweet German or who played the piano
or sang exactly to suit him. When
his father wrote for him to come home
and 1111 a place in a real estate concern
which had been secured for him
he had jumped at the chance. He
felt that if the family could only once
get acquainted with his wife they
would learn to love her. But it took
money to keep up a home in Brooklyn.
By getting his wife a place as his
German instructor he accomplished a
double purpose. He had quietly introduced
her into the household and
at the same time she received good
compensation for teaching him and his
oioiri n. ,
"Why didn't you tell mo before?"
naked tho father.
"Well," answered tho young man,
with Americau independence, "I
wanted to wait until I was making
enough to snap my fingers at the
world and separate from home if they
didn't liko my choioe."
"It isn't quite time for us to separate
yet," replied the father. "To tell
you tho truth, I was thinking when
Miss Kessberg was teaching yoti what
an excellent wife she would make for
you and how you had quieted down
since you came from Germany. Bring
her home. Yonr mother and the girls
will bo delighted, I know. But I want
to tell you right now that I think that
was an unkind and very shrewd piece '
of work on your part to rope me into
paying for your flat on the pretext
that you needed to learn to write German."
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van Anden intend
to spend several months with his
father and then build a neat home in
Brooklyn. The new daughter-in-law
has captured the hearts of the entire
Van Anden family just as she did tho
heart of the young German student.

There aro a great many people longing
for some grand sphere in whloh to servo
God. They admire Lather at the Diet of

ftjieh great opportunity in wblon to display
their Christian proWess. Thev admire

In whloh to uroaoh righteousness,
temperance and judgment to como: all
they want is only an opportunity to exhibit
their Christian heroism. Now the evangelist
comes to us, and he practically save:
"I will- show you a place where vou can
exhibit all that Is grand, and beautiful, and
glorious, in Christian character, and that
is the domestic circle."
If one is not faithful in an Insignificant
sphere he will not be faithful In a resounding
sphere. If Fetor will not help tho

If Paul will not take pains to instruct in
tho way of salvation the jailer of the Philippian
dungeon, he will never make Felix
tremble. Ho who is not faithful in a skirmish
would not bo faithful in an Armageddon.
Tho fact is, we aro all placed in just
the position In wliioh we can most grandly
serve God; and we ought not to bo chiefly
thoughtful about sotno sphere of usefulnes
which we may after a while gain, but
the all-absorbing question with you and
with mo ought to be: "Lord, what wilt
Thou have mo now and here to do?"
There is one word in my text around
which tho most of our thoughts will this
morning revolve. That word is "Home."
Ask ten different men tho meaning of that
word, and they will glvo you ten dlfferont
dcilnitlons. To one It means lovo at tho
hcarth.it means plenty at the table, industry
at tho workstand, intelligence at
tho books, dovotion a* the altar. To him
it mouns a greeting at tho door and a smile
at the chair. Teaco hovering like wings.
Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Lifo
a tranquil lake. Pillowed on tho ripples
sleep the shadows.
Ask another man what home is, and ho
will toll you it is want, looking out of a
cheerless fire-grate, kneading hunger in an
empty bread tray. The damp air shivering
with curses. No Blblo on tho shelf. Children
robbers and murderers in embryo.
Every face a picture of ruin. Want In tho
background nnd sin staring from the front.
No tinbbath wave rolling over that doorsill,
Vcstibulo of tho pit. Shadow of infernal
walls. Furnaco for forging everlasting
chains. Awful wordl It is spelled with
curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with
woe, it sweats with the death agony of despair.
The word "Homo" In the ono case means
everything bright. Tho word "Home" in
the other case means everything terrific.
I shall speak to you this iuo.uiiiAot homo
as s test of character, home as a refuge,
homo as a political safeguard, homo as a
school, and homo ns a typo of heaven.
And in tho first place I remark, that
homo is a powerful test of character. Tho
disposition in publio may be in gay cosI
11 ,Y1 A n->, il.i Ir. 1- t- I- JI-l-L."
,u.uv, nuuv iu ^IKUIU II. ID tu UUIIttUllKI.
As piny actors may appear in one way on
tho Plane, and may appear In another "way
behind the scenes, so private character may
bo very different from public character.
Private character is often public character
turned wrong sido out. A man may receive
you into his parlor as though ho woro
n distillation of sinilos, and yet his heart
may be a swamp of nettles. Thero are
business men who ttll day long arc mild,
and courteous, und- gonial, and good-natured
(in commercial life, damming back
their irritability, nud their petulance, and .
their discontent; but at night-fall tho dam ,
breaks, and scolding pours forth in floods
nnd freshets.
The rensou men do not display their bad
temper in public Is because they do not ,
want to bo knocked down. There are men
who hldo th ir petulance nud their irritn- (
billty just for the same reason that they do
not let their notes go to protest. It does
not pay. Or for the same reason that they (
do not want n man in their stock company '
to sell his stock nt less than tho right price,
lest it dopreeiato tho value. As nt some- j
times tho wind rises, so after a sunshiny
day thero may bo a tempestuous night, j
Thero are people who In public net the
philanthropist, who at home act the Nero j
with respect to their slippers and their '
gown.
Now, that man who is affable in public j
and who is irritable in privato Is making a ,
fraudulent overlssuo of stock, nnd ho is as ,
bad as a bank that might have four or Ave
hundred thousnnd dollars of bills in circulation
with no specie in tho vault. Let us .
learn to show piety at home. If we have it ,
not there, wo have it not anywhero. If wo ,
havo not genuine grace in the family circle, :
all our outward and public plausibility ,
merely springs from a fear of tno world or
from tho slimy, putrid pool of our own selfishness.
I tell you the home is a mighty j
test of character. What you are at home {
you are everywhere, whotner you demonstrate
It or not.
Again, I remark that home is a refuge. ,
Life Is the United Btates army on the national
road to Moxlco, a long march with .
over and Anon a skirmish and a battle. At .
oventido wo pitch our tent and 'stack tho
arms, we hang up tho war cap and lay our ,
head on the knapsack, wo sleon until tii? i
mqrning bugle calls us to marehing aixl
action. How pleasant It is to rehearse the
victories, and tho surprises, and the attacks
of the day, seated by tho still campflre
of tho homo clrclel
Thero is the place where we may talk or
What we havo done without being charged
with self-adulation. There is the place
where we may lounge without being thought
ungraceful. Thero is the place where we
may express affection without being
thought silly. There is the place whero wo
may forgot our annoyances, and exasperations,
andt troubles. Forlorn earth pil5riminohome?
Then die. That is better,
he grave Is brighter, and grander, and
more glorious than this world with no
tent for marchings, with no harbor from
the storm, with no place of rest from this
scene of greed, and gouge, and loss, and
Sain. God pity tho man or tho woman who
as no home.
Further, I remark, that home is a political
safeguard. Tho safety of tho State
must bo built on the safety of the homo.
Why cannot Franco come to a placid reSublic?
Ever and anon there is a threat of
atlonal capsize. France as a nation has
not tho right kind of a Christian home.
The Christian hearthstone is the only corner-stono
for a ropublic. The virtues cultured
in the family circle aro an absolute
necessity for tho Stato. If there be not
enough moral principle to make the family r
adhero, there will not bo enoucrh noltneoi -
Srinciplo to make tho Stnto adhere. "No ,
omo*' means tho Goths and Vandals, r
mcnna tho Nomads of Asia, means tho j
Numldeans of Africa, changing from place j
to place, according as tho pasture happens j
to change. Confounded bo all those Babels H
of iniquity which would overtowcr and do- f
stroy tho home. Tho same storm that up- v
sots the ship in which tho family sails will Y
sink tho frigate of tho constitution. Jails v
and penitentiarlesand nrmies and navicsare j
not our best defense. The door of tho homo n
is tho best fortress. n
Further, I remark, that homo Is a school. t
Old ground must be turned up with subsoil
plow, and it must be harrowed and reharrowed.
and then tho crop will not be as
large as that of tho now ground with loss
culture. Now, youth nnd childhood are f
new ground, and all the influences thrown C
over their heart and life will com* up la c
* - ?
after life luxuriantly, fevery time you have
glren a smile of approbation, all thd good
cheer of your life will eome up again in the
geniality bf your children. . And every
ebullition of anger and every unoonttolable
display of Indignation will bd fdel to
their disposition twenty, or thirty, or forty '
years from now?fuel for a bad Are a quarter
of a century fOom this.
Oh, make your home the brightest plaoe 1
on earth, If you would charm your chlU 1
dron to the high path of virtue, and recti- (
tude, nnd religion. Do not always turn 1
tho blinds the wrong way. Let tho light '
which puts gold on tho gentian and spots
tho pansy pour Into your dwellings. Do
not expect the little feet to keep step to a
dead march. Do not cover up your walls
with such pictures ns West's "Death on a
Pale Horse," or Tintoretto's "Massacre of
the Innocents." Rather cover them, if yon
have pictures, with "The Hawking Party,"
and "Tho Mill by tho Mountain Stream,"
and "The Fox Hunt," and "The Chli*
drcn Amid Flowers," and "The Harvest I
Scene," and "The Saturday Night Market- I
lug."
Above nil, ray friends, take into your
homes Christian principle. Can it be that
in any of the comfortable homes of my congregation
the voice of prayer Is never lifted?
What! No application at night for protection?
Whntl No thanksgiving in tbo morn*
Ing for care? How. my brother, my sister,
will you answer Ood in the Day of Judgment,
with reforonoe to your children? It
IB a plain question, and therofore I ask it. I
In tho tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says
lie will pour out His fury upon tho families
that call not upon Ills name. O parents,
when you aro dead and gone, and tno moss
Iscovoringtho inscription of tho tombstone,
will your children look back and think of
fnther and mother at family prayer? Will
they take tho old family Diblo and open it
and sco tho mnrk of tears of contrition and
tears of consoling promise wept by eyes
long before gono out Into darkness?
Oh, if you do not inculcato Christian prlnciploin
tho hearts of your children, and
you do not warn them against evil, and you
do not invite them to holiness nnd to God,
and they wander oil into dissipation and
into infidelity, nnd at last make shlpwrock
of their immortal soul, on their death-bed
and in their Day of Judgment they will
curso you. Boated by the register or the
stove, what if on the wall should come out
tho history of your children? What a hlstory
?t ho mortal nnd immortal life of your
loved ones. Every parent is writing tha
history of his child. He in writing it, composing
It into u song or turning Llt into a
groan.
My mind runs hack to one of the best of
early homos. Prayer, likoaroof, over it.
Ponce, like an atmosphere, in It. Parents,,
porsonlllcations of faith in trial And comfort
in darkness. The two pillars of that
earthly home long ago crumbled to dust.
But shall I over forgot that early borne? Yes,
when tho flower forgets tho sun
thnt warms it. Yes, when tho mariner forgets
the star that guided him. Yes, when
lovo has gone out of tho heart's altar
and momory has emptied his urn Into forgot fulness.
Then, the homo of my childhood,
I will forget thee! tho family nltar of a
father's Importunity and a mother's tenderness,
tho voices of affection, tho funerals of
our dead father and mother, with interlocked
arms like intertwining branches of
trees making a perpetual arbor of lovo,
nnd ^lence, and kindness?then I will for
K'-i iiium?men nnuoniy men. xou know,
my brother, that a hundred times you have
been kept out of sin by tlio memory
of such n scene as 1 linvo been describing.
You linvo often bail raging temptations,
but you know what has held you with supernatural
grasp. I tell you, a man who
has had such a good home as that never
gets over it, and a mnn who has had a bad
early homo never gets over It.
Agalu, I remark, that homo is a type of
heaven. To bring us to that homo Christ
left Ills home. Far up and far back in the
history of heaven thero enrae a period
when its most Illustrious citizen was about
to absent Himself. Ho was not going to
sail from beach to beach; wo have often
dono that. Ho was not going to put out
from one hemisphere to another hemlsBhere;
many of us have done that. But
to wns to sail from world to world, tho
spaces unexplored and tho immensities untravoled.
No world had over hailed heaven,
nnd so far as wo know heaven had never
hailed any other world. I think that tho
windows and the balconies were thronged,
nnd that tho pearly boach was crowded
with those who had come to seo Him sail
out the harbor of light into tho ocean beyond.
Out, and out, and out, and on, and on, and
on, nnd down, and down, and down Ho
sped, until one night, with only one to
greet Him, ho arrived. His disembarkation,
so unpretending, so quiot, that it was
not known on earth until the excitement in
Lho cloud guve intimation that something
grand and glorious had happened! Who
comes there? From what port did Ho sail?
Why wns this tho plnco of his destination?
[ question tho shepherds, I question the
camel drivers, I question tho angels. I
have found out! Ho was an exile. But tho
world has had plenty of exiles?Abraham
inoxllo from Ur of tho Clialdoes; John an
sxilo from Ephosns; Kosciusko an exile
Train Foland; Mnzzinl an exile from Rome;
Emmett an exile from Irelnnd; Victor
Hugo an exile from France; Kossuth an
?xlie from Hungary. But this onoofwhora
[ spenk to-day hail such resounding farewell
nnd camo into such chilling reception
?for not oven a hostler went out with his
nntern to help Him in?that Ho is moro to
30 celebrated thnn any other expatriated
>no of earth or heaven.
It is ninety-five million miles from hero
to tho sun, and nil astronomers agree In
mying that our solar system Is only ono of
ho small wheels of the great machinery of
he universe, turning round some onegrent
.'enter, the centor so far distant it is borond
nil imagination and calculation, and
f, as some think, that great center in the
iistanco is heaven, Christ came far from
iome when Ho enmo here. Have you ever
bought of the homesickness of Christ?
Iome of you know what homesickness is,
ivhen you have been only a few weeks nblent
from tho domestic eirclo. Christ was
thirty-threo years away from home. Home
>f you feel homesickness when you nro a
liundred or a thousand miles away from
tho domestic circle. Christ was moro mil- '
ions of miles away from home than you
;ould calculate if ail your life you didnothng
but calculate. You know what it is
to bo homesick even amid pleasurable
mrroundings; but Christ slept in huts,
md Ho was nthlrst, and IIo wasa-hungored,
ind Ho was on tho way from bolng born in
mother man's barn to being buriod in anither
man's grave. I have read how the
Swiss, when they aro far away from their
lativo country, at tho sound of their 11aional
nir get so homesick that they fall ino
melancholy, and sometimes they die
indor the homesickness. But, oh, tho
lomeslekness of Christ! Poverty homesick
or celestial riches. Persecution homesick
or hosanna. Weariness homesick for rest,
Ioniesick for angelic and archangcllc.commnionship.
Homesick to go out of the
light and tho storm and the world's execration,
and all that homesickness sufTered
o get us home.
At our host estate we are only pilgrims
ind strangers hero. "Heaven is our home."
Death will never knock at the door of that
nnnsion, and in all that country there is
lot a singlo gravo. How glad parents are
n holiday times to gather their children
lomo again. But I have noticed that there
s almost always a son or a daughter nh- j
ent?nbsent from homo, perhaps absent
rom the country, perhaps absent from the
vorld. Oil, bow glad our Heavenly Fathor
