Ami It would be well for us to take tlio sumo posture often, while we sit down in sweet solitude to eoutemplnle. In a small island olT the const of Nova neoua 1 once passed u isanoaui lu dciightful solitude, for I had resolved tlint I would have one day of entire quiet before I ontared upon iiutumunl work. I thought to have spent tho day in laying out plans for ; Christian work, but instead of that it lie- i cmuo a day of tender reminiscence. 1 re- i viewed ray pastorate; I shook hands with t\n old departed friend, whom I shall greet again when tho OUrtuillS of life are lilted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I was ten years of ago, anil I was eight, and 1 was live. There was but one house oil tho isiand.aud yet from Habbathdaybreak, when tho bird chant woko me, until the evening melted into the liny of Fundy, from shore to shore there wore ten thousand memories, and the groves were a-hum with , voices that had long ago cua.sed. Youth Is apt too much to spend nil Its j tlino iu looking forward. Old ago is apt ; too much to spend ail its lime in locking . backward. People in midlife and on the i upox look both ways. It would lm well for I us, I think, however, to spend more time in leiiiinlbcence. J'.y the constitution of our nnturo we spend most of the time looking forward. And llievaat majority of people live not so much in the present as in (he future. I find that you mean to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, nml tlie advantages that you expect to ! ucnievo nosoru a grout uoai <>i your time. l Hut I sco no barm in this if it does not make j you discouleuted with tho*pro.sonc or ills- j ipinlify you for oxistingduties. It is a inc. j int thiug sometimes to loo I: luck, aud to sr.; t lie dangers wo nave escaped,and to him*the sorrows wo Imvo suffered, aii't I lie trials , r.nd wanderings of our earthly pilgrimage, i ami to sum up our enjoyments. 1 mean, mi i far as Ood may help me, to stir up youi ; memory of the pa?t, so that in tlio review you may bo encouraged and humbled ami urged to pray. Among the grentest advantages of your past life were an early home and its sur- ! roundings. Tho bad ineu of the day, for tho most part, dip their heated passions out of the boiling spring of an unhappy I home. We are not surprised to Had tout I Hymn's heart was a concentration of sin wlx-n we hear his mother was abandoned an t that slio made sport of Ids iallnnity and often enlled liiin "the luino lira'." He . who 11an vicious parents has to light every inch of Ids way it ho would maintain his Integrity and at last roach the home of the good in heaven. Porhuos your early home was in a oily. It may have been when I'ennsylvanla avenue, Washington, was residential as now It is commercial, and ; f'aiial street. New York, was far up town. That old house in the city may Imvo been j demolished or changed tide stores, and It seeiued like sacrilege toyou -torlhere was more moaning in that small house than there Is iu a granite mansion or a turret ml cathedral. Looking back, you see it though it were yesterday?the silling room, where the loved one sat by the plain lamp light, the mother at the evening stand, tho brothers and sisters perhaps long ago gathered iato the skies, then plotting mischief on tho lloor or under t lie table; your father with !!r:n voice commending a silence that lasted half a minute. 1 Perhaps you were brought up in tho country. You stand now to-day in iimnoryunder tho old tree. You clubbed it for fruit that was not guile ripe, because you 4.V* ... ?... * I. .. * vM.mi ?. ? ui an; IU i m;ur uio brook rumbliug along over I In* pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father iii his shiit sleeves shouted to tin: ln/.y oxuu. You frightou the swallow* from tho rafters of tho luiru am! take just one egg ami silouco your conscience I?y saying itiey will not miss it. You take a drink again out of tho very bucket that tho old well fetched up. You go for tlio cows at night and Mad them pushing their heads through the bars. Ofitiines in Hie dusty and busy streets you wish you were homo again 011 that cool grus?, or in the rag carpi-tod hall of tho farmhouse,through which there came the breath ol new mown hay or the blossom of hue',;wheat. Yoi. may have in your windows now heuu'.iful plants and flower* brought from across tho.seas, but not one of them stirs in your soul so much charm and memory as the old ivy and tho yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden walk ami tho forget-me-not* playing hide and seek mid the long grass. The lather who used to eoiuc ia sunburned from the field , and sit down on the doorsili and wipe the sweat from bis brow may have gone to 111* everlasting rest. The mother who used to ' sit at the door a little lent over, eup and spectacles on her faeo mellowing with the vicissitudes of inauv join.*, may have put down lier gray head on the pillow in the valley, tint forget that home you never i will. " lluvo you thanked (tod for it? Have you rehearsed all these blessed reminiscences? Oh, thank Cod for a Christian father! Thank Cod for a Christian moth er! Thank Uod for an early Christian altar at which yon wore taught to kneel! Thank '(iod for nn early Christian home! 1 I lint; to mind another |ias at,M in the i history of your life. The day entno when you set up your own household. The days I passed along in quiet hlnssetlueas.. You twain sat at tlio ta In inornin;; ami night ami talked over your plans for the future. The most insignificant alTair i i your life I eeaine tho subject of mutual consultation and advertisement, Y?m were so hippy you felt you never could l>o any happier. One day a dark cloud hovered over your dwelling. and it got darker and Barker, I hut out of that cloud the shining messenger of (iod descended to inenrnnto an immortal sp lit. Two little feet started oil an eternal journey, and \ou wero to lead them, a gem to Hash in heaven's coronet, mill you to polish it; eternal ages of light and darkness watching the starting out of a lie,,\ly created creature, You rejoiced and you tromblcd at the responsibility that in your i ossession an immortal treasure was placed. You prayed and rejoiced and wept ami wondered; you were earnn>t in supplication that you might lend it through life into tho kingdom of (iod. There was a 1 rumor in your earnestness, Taero was a double interest about that home. There was an additional interest- why you should stay I here and ho faithful, mul when in m lew months your Iioiiso was tilled with the nnisifl of the ehild's lsiulit<*r you wort Ktrtick through Willi the fact thai you had u stupendous mission. JIavo you kept tlint vow? lluvo you neglected any <?f these duties? Is your ' homo us much to you as it usod to' bo? t Have tliosu anticipations been gratified? (Sod help you iu your rcIouim reminiscence, anil lot His moroy fall upon your soul if your'kiliOavsslias been ill roquirctll (ioil liavo mercy na tlm parent on tint wrinkles of whoso faco is writ ton t ho story ' of a child'ssiti!

Oil, there are ninny, many sail sounds in this sud world, but I ho saddest sound that Is ever heard is the break fug of a mother's heart! I tlikI another point In your life history. You found one tiny you were in the wrong road. You could not sirup at night. There was just olio word that seemed to sob through your banking house, <>r through your ofllee, or \ our shop, or \ our bedroom, iiml that word was "eternity," You said: I "I'm not ready lor it. Ob, (iod, have ] pterey!" The Lord hoard, IVti'.'o untno to ' your lieart. In the breath of tho bill and in the wuteiTuils dush you heard th? voice nt God's love. The clouds and the tree: liulled you with kindness. You came tuto tho house of God. You remember how your bund trembled as you took up tho cup of the communion. You remember tho old minister who consecrated it, and you remember tbo church officials who carried it through tho aisle. You remember tho old people who at tho close of tho service took your hand in theirs in congratulating sympathy, as much ns to say, "Welcome lioaie, VOU lost prodigal!" Aud, though those hands bo all withered away, that communion Sabbath is rosuirected to-day. Dili i must not spend any more of mv lime in going over tlio advantages of your life. I just put tlioin iu ouo great sheaf, and I cull tlicin up iu your memory with i-iie loud liarvo.-t song, bucli as tlie reapers sing. 1'ralse tlie IiOr<l, yo lilooil bought immortal* oil eurtSi! J'n?i*e the I.or<l, yo crowned spirits of heaven! Cut some of you have not always lia?l a smooth life. Home of you are now iu the shadow. Others had their troubles years ago; you are a mere wreck ot what you once were. I must gather up the sorrows of your past life, but how shall I do it? You say that it is impossible, as you havo had so many troubles and adversities. Then I will just take two?the ilrst trouble and the laat trouble. As when you are walking along the street, and there has been music iu the distance,)ou unconsciously IIml yourselves keeping step to tlie music, so when you started lifo your very life was a musical time beat. T'ho air was full of joy and hilarity; with the bright, dear oar \oii ma le the boat skip. Yon went on. and life grow brighter, until, after awhile. Mid Senly a voice from heaven -aid. "Unit!" and quick as tho sunshine you baited, you grew puh?, you confronted our llrst sorrow. You had no Idea that the Hush on your child's cheek was an unncalthy Hush. You said it cannot beauytlilng serious. Death iu sllpnoroil feet walked around the cradle. You did not hear the tread, but after awhile tho truth dashed on you. You walked tho lloor. Oh, if you could, with your strong, stout uand, liavo wrenched that child from tho destroyer! You went to your room and you said. "God. save my child! God, save oy child!" The world seemed going out in darkness. You said, "I can't bear it, I can't bear it." You felt as If you could not put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to sec them again sparkle. If you could linvo taken that liltlo ono la your ' .r ns, and with it leaped the grave, how gladly you would have done it! If you ould let your property go, your houses go, how gladly you would havo let them lepart Jif you coubl only have kopt that on" treasure! Jin! one day there came up a chill blast thatsw'pt through the bedroom, and iu-tautly all tho lights went out. and thcro was darkness?thick, murky, impenetrable, shuddering darkness. ltnt (in 1 did nor cave you there. Mercy spoke. As you rook up llio bitter cup to put it to your dps Go t suiil, "l.et it puss," aud forthwith, is by the hand of angels, another cup was ml into your hands. It was the cup of (toil's consolation. And as you have sometimes litie 1 tlie head of a wounded soldier nut poured wlnointo Ids lips, so God puts dls left arm under your head and with Ms rlg'-t hand II" pears Into your llo.s tho wtno ot Ills comfort and His consolation, and you lookod at tho empty eradlo and looked at your broken heart, and you lookod tit tho Lord's chastisement, and you said, "Even so, Father, for so it seoinctli good in Thy sight." All, it was your llrst trouble. How did yon got ovor it? 'God confronted you. You hnvo boon n better man over since. You have been a bettor woman over since. In tho jar of tho closing gate of tlio sapulclicr you heard tho clanging of the opening gato of Heaven, and you felt an irresistible drawing heavenward. You havn beeu spiritually hotter ever since Hint night whoa tho iiilio one for tho last time put its nrina around your neck and said: "Good night, papa! Good night, mamma! Moot mo in Ilea von!" Perhaps your last sorrow was a ilnnnclal embarrassment. I congratulate some of you oa your lucrative profession or occupation, 011 ornato apparel, on a commodious residence?everything you put your hands on seems to turn to gold, liut there aro others of you who are like ttie ship oil which Paul sailed where two seas mot, and you aro broken bv tho violence of tho waves. By an unadvised indorsement, or by a .conjunction of unforeseen events, or by lire or storm, or n senseless panic, you hnvo been (lung headlong and where you oneo dispensed greit charities now you linvo hard work to win your daily bread. Have you forgotten to thank God for your days of prosperity, and that through your trials some of you have made investments which will continue after tho last bank of tbls world has exploded, and the siivernud gold are molten in the 11 res of a burning world? Have you, amid ail your losses and discouragements, forgot that there was bread on your table this morning, and that there slmil be u shelter for your head from the storm, and there is air for your lungs, and Idood for your heart, and light for your eye, and a glad and glorious and t l*i II (11 f lllft lit r?illi?i.in l<?r *?n?? uAnl'i Perhaps your last trouble was a bereave' meat. That heart which ia childhood was your refuge, tIs** parental licnrt, ami wlieh has boon asourcoof the quickest sympathy ever since, has suddenly become silent forever. And now sometimes, whenever in *u<hlon annoyance and without deliberation you say, "I will go and tell niothor,-' tho thought flashes on you, "I have no mother." Or tho father, with voico less tender, hut with heart as loving, watchful of all your ways, exultant ov.*r your success without saying much, although the old poopie do talk it over by themselves, his trembling hand on that staff which you now keep as a family relic,.his momory embalmed in grateful hearts?is taken away forever. Or there was your companion in life, sharer of your joys and sorrows, taken, leaving tho heart an old ruin, where the ill winds blow over a wide wilderness of desolation, tho sands of desert driving across tho place which oneo bloomed liko the garden of (iod. And Abraham mourns for Sarah at the cave of Machpuhth. As you were moving along your path in life, suddeuly, right before yon, was an open grave, l'eople looked down, and llioy saw it was rnly a few feet deep and a few feet wide, hut to you it was a cavern dowu which went all your hopes and ail your expectations. Jiut cheer up in tho name oi tho Lord Jems Christ, tho Comforter, There is one more point of absorbing reminiscence, and that is the last hour of life, when we have to look over all our past existence. What a moment that will be! I place Napoleon's dying reminiscence on St. Helena besides ,\Ir<. Judsou's dviug reminiscence in the harbor of St. Helena, the samo island, 20 years after. Napoleon's dying reminiscence was one of delirium?"Teto d'armoe"?"Head of tho anny."
