"He Hath Borne our Grief."
Although the weather has been
very stormy during the past six
weeks, it has not had any marked
effect, in point of numbers on the
congregation gathered at the
Brooklyn Tabernacle to listen to
the remarks of their pastor. Dr.
Talmacfi took his text from the
53rd chapter of Isaiah, 4th verse.
"Surely He hath bourne our grief
and carried bur sorrows."
"Far up and far back in the his
tory of heaven," he remarked,
"there came a period when its most
illustrious citizen was about to ab
sent himself. He was not going to
sail from beach to beach; we have
often done that; but lie was to sail
from world to world; the spaces
unexplored aud immensities uir
traveled. I think that the
windows and balconies were
thronged and that the pearly island
beach-was crowded with those who
had come to see this illustrious
citizen sail out to the ocean of
oceans; far beyond this harbor of
light; far beyond that city of His
residence ; through the narrows far
out into the sea beyond; and out !
and out ! and ont 1 and on ! and on!

no one to greet Him, He arrived.
His disembarkation was unpre
tending; so quiet that it was not
known ou earth until the excite
ment in the clouds gave intimation
to the Bethlehem rnstics that
something grand and glorious had
happened. Who comes there?
From what port did he sail! Why
was this the place of His destina
tion! I question the shepherds, I
question the camel-drivers, I ques
tion the angels; I have found out.
He was an exjle. But the world
has had plenty of exiles. John ex
iled to Patinos, Massiuasi from
Rome, Emmet exiled from Ireland,
Victor Hugo exrled from France.
But this one of whom I speak to
day, had such a sounding farewell,
to meet with such a chilling recep
tion; for not even a hostler came
out to light Him in. Christ was an
inspired exile. ne came down
from the throne. His family were
princes and princesses. David was
dethroned by Absalom's infamy. -Some
of the Henries of England
and some of the Louis' of France
were jostled on their thrones by
some of their subjects, but Christ
turned himself out from His throne.

the top to the bottom. He was not
pushed off. lie was not manacled

you that this exile was far from
home. It is ninety-five million
miles from here to the suu, and all
the great astronomers agree in say
ing that the solar system is only
one of the smaller wheels of some
others. Christ came far from home
when He came here. Have you
ever thought of the homesickness of
Christ? Some of you know what
homesickness is. When you have
only been absent from home a short
time you begin to experience it. I
have read how the Swiss, ' when
they are far away from their conn
try and hear their national air they
become homesick and feel it very
much. But how of the homesick
ness of Christ! Homesickness
came out of the storm of the world's
depredation. Homesickness will
make one week seem as long as a
month. I take a step further and
tell you that, he, Christ, was in ex
ile which he knew would end in
assassination. William Holman

ture in whieh he represents Jesus
Christ in the Nazarene carpenter-
shon. The Dicture renresenta tliA

carpenters represented as Christ

and wearily stretching out His
arms as we will after contracted iu
an uncomfortable posture. TL
picture is so arranged that the
arms of Christ wearily outstretched,
with His body throws on the
ground the shadow of a cross. .

The Romance of Mr. Stephens' Life.
In one of the early years of the
'40s Mr. Stephens, then a young
man, paid a visit to the .home of
Mr. Darden, in Warren county.
There he met a flaxen haired, blue
eyed girl of sixteen, beautiful in
face and lovely in character,
piquant, witty and gifted with
a mind rarely cultivated. An at
tachment grew up, which for years
did not pass the formal bounds of
friendship, bnt which was sacredly
cherished by both. The boy lover
was poor in this world's goods;
fragile in frame, and harassed by
sickness, he did not dare to
aspire to the hand of one whom he
had learned to love and yet fore-
bore to claim. With womanlyjde
v'otion the young girl read the
secret in the young man's eyes, and
true to her heart she could only-
wait and love.
. One evening in 1849 a party was
given at the residence of Mr. Little
in Crawford ville. There the two
met once more; there they enjoyed
that sweet communion born of per
fect trust; and there Mr. Stephens
found courage to speak the words
which for years had fought for ex
pression, mitil at last he could no
longer contain them.
"Are you sure that there lives
none other whomlVyou prefer to
me!" asked the maiden timidly, half
shrinkingly yet only too happy to
feel that she was favored in his

Latest Invention. Mr IJ. O.
Savage, near Scotland Neck, says
the Commmcealth has conceived
and constructed a machine whic he
thinks will pick cotton from the row
and at the same time deposit it in
sacks. Mr. Savage tells us that
every practical man who has seen
the machine says that it will do the
work for which it is designed. Mr.
Savage visited Washington City
last week with the view of pro
curing a , patent and he -receives
much eucouragemeut in his
enterprise. There is no such ma

inventor's opinion, together with
that of all who have investigated
the matter, that it will certainly
