-of the star Is oalled Wormwood."?Revelation
x., 11. :
Patrick and Lowth, Thomas ficott, Mat- 1
tnew Henry, Albert Barnes and some other <
commentators say that the star Wormwood <
of my text was a type of Atttla. king of the
Buns. He was so called because be was
brilliant as a star, and, like wormwood, he
tmbittered everything he touched. We
have studied the 8tar of Bethlehem, and
the Morning Star of Revelation and the
Star of Peaoe, but my subject oalls us to
gase at the star Wormwood. and my theme
might be called "Brilliant Bitterness."
A more extraordinary oharaoter history
sloes not furnish than this man Atttla. the
ktpg of the Huns, The story goes that one
day a wounded heifer came limping along
through the fields, and a herdsman followed
its bloody traok on the grass to see
where the heifer was wounded, and went on
back, farther and farther, until he came to
a sword fast, in the earth, the point down
win, us tnouRD it nan dropped rrom the
heavens, and against the edges of thla
word the heifer had been cut. The herdsman
palled up that sword and presented it 1
to Atttla. Attila said that sword must
have dropped from the hAavens from tbfe
grasp of the god Mars, and its being given
to btm meant thnt Attila should conquer
and govern the whole earth. Other mighty
men have been delighted at being called
, liberators or the Merciful or the Oood, but
Attila called himself and demanded that
others call him "the Hoourgeof God."
At the head of 700,000 troops, mounted
on Oappadoolan horses, he swept everything,
from the Adrlntic to the Black Sea.
He put his Iron bee' on Macedonia and
Greeoe aud Thrace. He made Milan and
Pavla and Padua and Verona beg for
merey, which he bestowed not. The Byzantine
castles, to meet his ruiooua levy,
put uo at auction massive silver tables
and vases of solid gold. When a city was
captured by him, the inhabitants were
brought out nnd put Into throe classes.
The first class, those who oould bear arms,
must immediately enlist under Attila or
be butchered; the seoond olnss, the beautiful
women, were made captives to the
Huns; the third olass, the nged men and
women, were robbed of everything and
let go back to the city to pay a heavy tax.
It was a common saying thnt the grass
never grew where the hoof of Attlla's horse
had trod. His armies reddened the waters
of the Seine and the Moselle and the Rhine
with carnage and fought on the Catalonlan ?
plains the fiercest battle since the world 1
a?nn^ OAO AAA . I.1 l.lt ?!.. /l-l.l nL '

nnd on until nil those who oould not op*
pose him with arms lay prostrate on their
faoes In prayer, theri a cloud or dust was ,
seen in the distance, nnd a bishop cried,
"It Is the aid of God." and nil the people
took up the cry. "It Is the aid of God."
As the cloud of dust was blown nside the
banners of ro-onjorclng armies marched in
to help against Attila. "The Scourge of
God." The most unimportant occurrences
he used as nsupernatural resource. After
three months of failure to capture the city
of Aquileln. when his army had Riven up
the siege, the flight of a stork and her
vouhr from the tower of tho city was taken
bv him as a sIru that he was to canture the
ofty, and bis army, insnired with the same
ocourence, resumed the siege and took
the walls at a point from whloh
the stork had emerged. So brilliant
was the conqueror in attire that
his enemies could not look at him, but
ahnded their eves or turned their heads.
Hlnln on the evening of his marriage by
his bride, Ildleo, who was hired for the assassination.
his followers bewailed hlra,
not with tears, but with blood, cutting
themselves with knives and lances. He
was put Into three oofBns. tho flrst of Iron,
the second of sliver and the third of gold,
lie was burled by night, and into his
grave was poured the most valuable cotns
and precious stones, amounting to the
wealth of a kingdom. The gravodlggers
nnd all those who assisted at the burial
were mnssacred, so that It would never be
known where so much wealth was entombed.
The Roman empire conquered the world,
but Attila conquered the Roman empire.
He was right In calling himself a scourge,
but instead of being "the scourge of God"
he was the scourge of hell.
Because of his brilliancy and bitterness,
the commentators might well have supposed
him to be the star Wormwood of the
text. As the regions he devastated were
ports most opulent with fountains and
streams and rivers, yon see how graphic
my text is: "There fell a great star front
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, nnd it
fell upon the third part of the rivers, and
upon tho fountains of waters, and the name
of tho star is called Wormwood."
Have you ever thought how many embittered
lives there are all about us, mtsnn
rnropic, raoroiu, norm, saturnine? The
European plant from which wormwood is
extracted, Artemisia absinthium, Is a perennial
plant, and all the year round It is
ready to exude Its oil. And In many human
lives there is a perennial distillation
of acrid experiences. Yea, there are some
whose whole work Is to shed a baleful Influence
over others. There are Attilas of
the home, Attilas of the soolal circle, Attilas
of the church, Attilas of thoHtate, and
one-third of the watersof nil the world are
poisoned hy the falling of the star Wormwood.
It is not complimentary to human
nature that most men, as soon as they set
great power, become overhearing. The
more power men have the better, If their
power be used for good. The less power
men have the better, If they use it for evil.
But are any of you the star Wormwood?
Do you scold and growl from the thrones
paternal or maternal? Are your cbildr.en
everlastingly pecked at? Are you always
crying "Hush!" to the merry voices and
swift feet, and to the laughter, whloh
occasionally triokles through at wrong
times, and Is suppressed by them until
tbey can hold it no longer, and all the
barriers burst into unlimited guffaw and
cachinnation, as In high weather the
water nas irioKieo inrougn a sugnt opening
in the railtdara, but afterward makes <
wider and wider breach until It carries all <
before It with irresistible freshet? Do not <
be too much offended at the noise your I
children now make. It will be still enough
when one of them is dead. Then you would
give your right hand to hear one shout
from the silent voice, or one step from the
still foot. You will not any of you have to
wait very long before your house Is stiller
than you want it. Alas that there are so
many homes not known to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
where children are whacked and cuffed aud
ear pulled, and senselessly called to order,
and answered sharply and suppressed, until
it Is a wonder that under such processes
* they do not all turn out Nana Hahibs!
|r < But I will change this and suppose you
I are a star of worldly prosperity. Then you
I* have large opportunity. You can encourI

Where now the gleam of her towers,
where the roar of her chariots, where the

dry their nets where once she stood, let

From the persecutions of the pilgrim i
fathers and the Huguenots in other lands !
3od set upon these shores a nation. The
;ouncll (Ires of the aborigines went out In
the greater light of a free government. The
sound of the warwhoop was exchanged for
the thousand wheels of enterprise and progress.
The mild winters, the fruitful sum- ;
mors, the healthful skies, charmed from j
Bther lands a race of hardy men, who !
loved Qod and wanted to be free. Before |
the woodman's ax forests fell and rose
again into ships' masts and ohurobes'
pillars. Cities on the banks of lakes began
to rival cities by the sea. The land j
quakes with the rush of the rail car, and i
the waters are churned white with the
iteamer's wheel. Fabulous bushels of
Western wheat meet on the way fabulous j
bushels of Eastern coal. Furs from the
North pass on the rivers fruits from tho
3outh. And trading in the same market ;
ire Maine lumbermen and South Carolina |
rice merchant and Ohio farmer and Alaska
fur dealer. And churches and schools and
isylums scatter light and love and mercy
and salvation upon 70,000,000 of people.
I pray that our nation may not copy the

and we go down. I am by nature and by
grace an optimist, and I expect that this
country will continue to advanoe until the
world ahall reach the miilenlal era. Our
only safety la In righteousness toward Qod
and justice toward man. If we forget
the goodness of the Lord to this land
and break his Sabbaths, and improve 1
not by the dire disasters that have again
and again come to us as a people, and
we learn saving lesson neither from
civil war nor raging epidemlo. nor
drought, nor mildew, nor scourge of locust
and grasshopper; It the polltloal corruption
which has poisoned the foundations
of public virtue and besllmed the high
places of authority, making free government
at times a hissing and a byword In
all the earth; if the drunkenness and licentiousness
that stagger and blaspheme
lu the streets of our great cities, as though
they were reaching after the fame of a Corinth
and a Sodom, are not repented of, we
will yet see the smoke of our nation's ruin.
The pillars of our national and State capltols
will fall more disastrously than when
Sampson pulled down the Dragon, and
future historians will record upon the page
bedewed with generous tears the story that
the free nation of the west arose in
splendor whloh made the world stare. It
had mugniflaent possibilities; It forgot
God; it hated justice; It hugged Its orlmes,
It halted on its high march; it I
reeled under the blow of calamity;
it fell, and as it was going down all the
despotisms of earth from the top of
uloody thrones began to shout: "Ahat
So would we have It!" while struggling
and oppressed peoples looked out from
dungeon bars, with tears and groans and
cries of untold agony, the scorn of those
and the woe of these, uniting in the ex- !
olnmation: "Look yonder! 'There fell a
grent star from heaven burning as it were
a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of
the rivers end upon the fountains of
waters, and the name ol the star Is called
Wormwood!'"

Some latelilfeat Orders.
Here are some orders recently re- t
celved by a druggist in a neighboring
city:
"This child is my little girl. I send ?
you five cents to buy two sitless powders
for a groan up adult who is
slke." J
"Dear Dochter, pies glf bearer five
sense worse of Auntie Toxyn for to \
gargle baby's throat and oblenge."
"You will pleas give the lettle bol ^
five cents worth of epecac for to
throw up in a five months' old babe. }
N.. B.?The babe has a sore stum- i
mlck."
"I have a cute pain In my child's diagram.
Please give my son something ?
to release it." j
"My little babey has eat up Its father's
parish plasther. Send an antedote ?
quick as possible by the enclosed girl."
"I haf a hot time In my lnsides and
wlch 1 wood like It to be extinguished.
What Is good for to extinguish It. The j
enclosed money is for the price of the s
extinguisher. Hurry pleas."
The Toed Twins.
The highest-priced freaks ever r
shown In this country were the Toeei
twins, who received a salary of $900
a week for n four weeks' engagement.
They wer two boys with but one pair ^
of legs between them, the bodies connecting
at the waist, both bodies and
legs being perfect and well-formed.
They were constantly worrying about c
the high price of living in ibis country,
and in spite of their inrge salary
spent as little as they could possibly
get nloug with. They now have a ^
large and beautiful place near their
native town in Italy, nud are persons t
of great distinetion there. i
