DR IMAGE'S SMON. AN ISLAND YISION. Dr. Talmago preached before an overflow ing audience at the Thousand Islands, the people flocking from all the surrounding country. Fully 7,000 persons were present, and listened with rapt attention to the rever end gentleman. Texts: “I, John, was in the isle that is called Patmos.—Rev. i., 0. “And the twelve gates were twelve pearls.”—Rev. xxi., 21. “Sabbath finds us among the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence,” began the preacher. “Amid the enchantment of the scenery some of us are like Paul when he said/Whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell. ’ Not having read the geologist's account of how this legion was formed, I may surmise that after tho St. Lawrence be gan its majestic roll these islands were dropped into it out of tho heavenly land s ape. Islands above us, islands below us, islands all around us. lam reminded how much the islands of the woi Id have had to do with sacred and pofane history. Elba, from which Napoleon started for his last struggle; and St. Helena, where he ended it: island of (Guernsey, where the great soul of Victor Hugo chafed in exile until republicanism in France drove back despotism; Isle of Borneo, where Adoniram Jud on stood, a flaming evangel; the island of Caprera, where Garibaldi rested after the emancipation of Italy; island of Cypress, where Birnabas preached; inland of Me:ita, on which Paul was shipwrecked, and, last of all, but mightier than all and more impressive than all, the island of Patmos, of which my text speaks, and from which St. John, the exiled Ephesian Gospel ler, saw the twelve pearline gates. If God will help us we cnD, from these Thousand Isles on ibis Sabtath morning, see the same glittering porta s. “Our subject speaks of a great metropolis, tho existence of which many have doubted. There has been a vast emigration into that city, but no emigration from it, so far as our natural vision can des ry. ‘There is no such city,’ says the undevout astronomer. ‘I have stood in high towers with a mighty telescope and have swept tho heavens, and I have seen spots on the sun and caverns in the moon, but no towers have ever risen on my vision, no palaces, no temples, no shining streets, n > massive wall. There is no such city.’ Even very good people tell me that Heaven is not a material organ ism, but a grand spiritual fact, and that the Bible descriptions of it are in all cases to be taken figuratively. I bring in reply to this wliat Christ said, and He ought to know: ‘I go to prepare,’ not a theory, not a principle, not a sentiment, but ‘I go to prepare a place for ycu.’ The resurrected body implies this. If my loot is to be reformed from the dust it must have something to tread on. If my hand is to be reconstructed it must have something to handle. If my eye, having gone out in death, is to be rekindled, I must have something to gaze on. Your adverse theory seems to imply that the resurrected body is to be hung on nothing, or to work in air, or to float amid the intangibles. You may say: If there be material organisms, then a soul in heaven will be cramped and hindered in its enjoyments; but I answer: Did not Adam and Eve have plenty of room in the garden of Eden? Although only a few miles would have described the circum ference of that place, thoy had ample room. And do‘ you not suppose that God in the im mensities can build a place large enough to give the whole race room, even though there be material organisms? “As a conquering army, marching onto take a city, come 3 at nightfall to the crest of a mountain from which in the midst of the landscape they see the castles they are to capture, and rein in their war chargers and halt and take a good look before they pitch fcueir tents for the night; so now, coming os we do on this mountain top of prospect, I command this regiment of God to rein in their thoughts and halt,and before they pitch their tents for the night takd one good, long look at the gates of the great city. I wiut you to examine the architecture of those gates. Proprietors of large estates are very apt to have an ornamented gateway. Some times they spring an arch of masonry; the posts of the gate flanked with lions in statuary; the bronze gate a representation of intertwining foliage, bird-hauuted, until the hand of architectural genius drops exhausted, all its life frozen into the stone. Babylon had a hundred gates, so had Thebes. Gates of wood and iron and stone guarded nearly all tho old cities. Moslems have inscribed upon their gateways inscriptions from the Koran. There have been a great many fine gateways, but Christset his hand to the work, and for the upper city swung a gate such as no eyes ever gazed on untouched of inspira tion. With the nail of his own cro?s he cut into its wonderful traceries stories of past suf fering and of gladness to come. There is no wood or stone or bronze in that gat?, but from top to base and from side to side ii is all of pearl. Not one piece picked up from Ceylon banks and another piece from the Persian Gulf and another from the island of Margarette; but one solid pearl picked up from the beach of everlasting light by heav enly hands, and hoisted and swung amid the shouting of angels. The glories of a'abasfcer vase and porphyry pillar fade out before this gateway. It puts out the spark of fcldspai and Bohemian diamond. You kuow how on« little precious stone on your finger will flash under the gaslight But, oh, the brightness when the great gate of heaven swings, struck through and dripping with the light of eter nal noonday. “Julius Ccesar paid 125.000 crowns for one pearl. The government of Portugal boasted of having a pearl larger than a pear. Cloo patra and Philip IL dazzled the world’s dsion with precious stones. But gather all these together and lift them and add to them all the w’ealth of the pearl fisheries and set them m the panel of one do ir and it does not equal this magnificent gateway. An A1 mighty hand hewed this, strung this, polished this. Acainsi this gateway on the one side dash all the splendors of earthly beauty. Against this gate on the other side beat the surges of eternal glory. Oh, the gate! tho gate! It strikes an infinite charm through every one that passes it. One step this side of that gate and we are paupers. One step the other side of that gate aud we are kings. The pilgrim of earth, going through, sees in the one huge pearl all his earthly tears in crystal. O gate of light, gate of pearl, gate of Heaven, for our weary souls at last swing open. When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold. Thy bulwarks with salvation strong And streets of shining gold? “I want you to count the number of thoa* sates. Imperial parks and lordly manors are ipt to have one expensive gateway and the others are ordinary; but look around at these entrances to heaven and count them. Oneu two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Hear it all the earth and ill the heavens! Twelve gates! I admit this is rather hard on sharp sectarianisms, ft a Presbyterian is bigoted he brings his West n ins ter Assembly cathechism and he makes i gateway out of that, and he says to he world: “You go through there or stay >nt.” If a Methodist minister is bigoted he jlanta two posts and says: ‘Now you must irowd In between those two posts or stay irat.’ Or perhaps an Episcopalian may say: ‘Here is liturgy out of which I mean to make t K»te; go through it or stay out.’ Or a Bap tist may say: ‘Here is a water-gate; you go through that or you must stay out.' And so in all our churches and denominations there ire men who make one gate for themselves and then demand that the whole world go through it. I abhor this contractedness in religious views. Ob, small-souled man, when did God give you the contract for making rates? I tell you plainly I will not go In that gate. I will go in at any one of the twelve gates I choose. Here is a man who lays: ‘lean more easily and more closely approach God through a prayer-book. I say: •My brother, then use the prayer-boot* Here if a man who say*: ‘I believe there is inly one mode of baptism, and that is im mersion.’ Then I say: ‘Let me plunge you.* Anyhow I say: Away with the gate of rough panel and rotten posts and rusted latch when there are twelve gates and they ars twelve pearls. “A great many of the churches in this day are being doctrined to death. They have been trying to find out all about God’s de crees, and they want to know who are elected to be saved and who are reprobated to be damned, and they are keeping on discussing that subject when there are millions of souls who need to have the truth put straight av them. They sit counting tne number of teeth in the jawbone with which Samson slew the Philistines. They sit on the beach and see a vessel going to pieces in tho ofllng, and instead of getting into a boat and pulling for the wreck they sit discussing the different styles of oarlocks. God in tended us to know some things and intended us not to know others. I have heard scores of sermons explanatory of God’s decrees, bub came away more perplexed then I went. The only result of such discussion is a great fog. Here are two truths which are to conquer the world: man, a sinner; Christ, a savior. Any man who adopts these two theories in his religious belief shall have my right hand in warm grip of Christian brotherhood. A man comes down to a river in time of freshet. He wants to get across. He has to swim. What does he do? Tho first thing is to put off his heavy apparel and drop every thing he has in hands. He must go empty-handed if he is going to tne other bank. And I tell you, when we have come down to the river of death and find it swift and raging we will have to put off all our sectarianism and lay town our cumbersome creed, and empty handed put out for the other shore. ‘What,’ say you, ‘would you resolve all the Christian Church into one kind of church? Would you make all Christendom worship in the same way, by the same forms?’ Oh, no! You might as well decide that all people shall eat the same kind of food without reference to appetite, or wear the same kind of apparel without reference to the shape of their body. Your ancestry, your temperament, your sur roundings, will decide whether vou go to this or that chnrch and adopt this or that policy. “Notice the points of the compass toward which these gates look. They are not on one side or on two sides or on three sides, but on four sides. This is no fancy of mine, but a distinct announcement. On the north three gates, on the south three gates, on the east three gates, on the west three gates. What does that mean? Why, it means that all nationalities are included and it does not make any difference from what quarter of the earth a man comes up; if nis heart is right there is a gate open before him. On the north three gates. That means mercy for Lapland and Siberia and Norway and Sweden. On the south three gates. That means pardon for Hindostan and Algiers and Ethiopia. On the east three gates. That means salvation for China and Japan and Borneo. On the west three gates. That means redemption for America. It does not make any difference how dark-skinned or how pale-faced men may be, th -y will find a gate right before them. These plucked bananas under a tropical sun. These shot across Russian snows behind reindeers. From Mexican plateaus, from Roman c am pana, from Chinese tea-fields, from Holland dike, from Scotch Highlands, they come, they come. Heaven is not a monopoly for a few precious souls. It is not a Windsor Cas tle for royal families. It is not a small town with small population, but John saw it aud he noticed that an angel was measuring it, and he measured it in this way and then he measured that, and whichever way he meas ured it was 1,500 miles, so that Babylon and Thebes, and Tyre and Nineveh, and SSt. Petersburg and Canton, and Pekin and Paris, and London and New York, and all the dead cities of th9 past and all tho living cities of the present added together, would not equal the census of that great metrop olis. “While I speak an ever-increasing throng is passing through the gates. They are going up from Senegambia, from Patagonia, from Madras, from Hong Kong. ‘What!’you say, ‘do you introduce all tho heathen into glory?’ I tell you, the fact is that the majority of tho people in those climes die in infancy and the infants all go straight into eternal life, and bo the vast majority of those who die in China and India, tho vast majority of those who die in Africa, go straight into the skies—they die in infancy. Ono hun dred and sixty generations have been born since tho world was created, and so I estimate that there must bo 15,000,000,000 children in glory. If at a con cert 2,000 children sing, your soul is raptured within you. Oh, tho transport when 15,000,- 000,000 little ones stand up in white before the throne of Goi, their chanting drawing out all the stupendous harmonics of Dussel dorf and Leipsic and Boston! Pour in through tho twelve gates, O ye redeemel, banner-lifted, rank after rank, saved battalion after saved batalion, until all tho city of God shall hear tho tramp, tramp! Crowd all the twelve gates. Room yet. Room on tho thrones, room in the mansions, room on the river bank. Let the trumpet of invitation bo sounded until all earth’s mountains hear the shrill blast and the glens echo it. Let mis sionaries tell it in pagoda, and colporteurs sound it aero-8 the Western prairies. Shout it to the Laplander on his swift sled, halloo it to the Bedouin careering across the de:-ert. News! news! a glorious heaven and twelve gates to get into it! Hear it, O you thin blooded nations of eternal winter!—on the north three gates. Hear it, O you bronzed inhabitants panting under equatorial heats— ou the south three gates. “And heaven being made up, of course tho gates will be shut. Austria in and the first fate shut; Russia in and the second gate shut; taly in and the third gate shut; Egypt in and the fourth gate shut; Spain in and tho fifth gate shut; France in and the sixth gate shut; England in and the seventh gate shut; Nor way in and the eighth gate shut; Switzerland In and the ninth gate shut; Hindostan in ini the tenth gate shut; Siberia in and the eleventh gate shut. All the gates are closed but one. Now let America go in, with all the islands of the sea and all the other na tions that have called on God. The captives all freed; the harvests all gathered; the na tions all saved—the flashing splendor of this last pearl begins to move on its hinges. Let the mighty angels put their shoulders to the gate and heave it to with silvery clang. ’Tis done! It thunders! The twelfth gate shut! “I want to show you the gate-keeper. There is one angel at each one of these gates. You say that is right. Os course it is. You know that no earthly palace or castle or fortress would be safe without a sentry pac ing up and down by night and by day, and if there were no defenses before heaven and the doors set wide open with no one to guard them, all the vicious of earth would go up after awhile and all the abandoned of hell would go up after awhile, and heaven instead of being a world of light and joy and peace and blessedness would be a world of darkness and horror. So lam glad to tell you that while these twelve gates stand open to let a great multitude in there are twelve angels to keep some people out. Robespierre cannot go through there, nor Nero, nor anv of the debauched of earth who have not repented of their wickedness. I! one of these nefarious men who despised Gofl should come to the gate, one of the keeper: would put his hand on his shoulder and pusk him into outer darkness. There is no ploct in that land for thieves and liars, ana do frauders, and all those who disgraced theii race and fought against their God. If a miser should get in there ho would pull up the golden pavement. If a house-burner should get in there he would set fire to th€ mansion. If a libertine should get in there, he would whisper his abominations standing on the white coral of the sea-beach. Only those who are blood-washed and prayer lipped will get through. O my brother, if you should at last come up to one of the gates and try to get through, and you had not a pass written by the crushed hand of the Hon of God, the gate-keeper would, with one glance, wither you forever. “There will to a password at the gate of heaven. Do you know what that password is? Here comes a crowd of souls up to the gate and they say: ‘Let me in; let ine in. I was very useful ou earth. I endowed col leges, I built churches and waa famous for my charities, and, having done so many wonderful things for the world, now I come up to get my reward. A voice from within says: ‘I never knew you.* An other great crowd comes up aud they try to get through. They say: ‘We were highly honorable on earth and the earth bowed very lowly before us. We w ere hon ored on earth, and now we come to get our honors in heaven.’ And a voice from with in says: ‘1 never knew you.’ Another crowd advances and says; ‘We were very moral people on earth—very moral indeed, and we come up to get appropriate recogni tion. ’ A voice answers: *1 never knew you. ’ “After a while I see another throng ap proach the gate and one seems to be spokes man for all the rest, although their voices ever and anon cry amen! amen! This one 6tands at the gate and says: ‘Let me in. I was a wanderer from God. I deserve to die. I have come up to this place not because I de lerve it, but because I havo heard that there Is a saving power in the blood of Jesus.’ The gatekeeper says: ‘That is the password, Jesus! Jesus!’ and they pass in and they surround the throne aud the cry is: ‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power aud riches and wisdom and strength aud honor and glory and blessing.’ Oh, when heaven Is all done and the troops of God shout: ‘The castle is taken!’ how grand it will be if you and I are among them! Bio;sed are all they who enter in through the gates into the city.’’ A California JFrnit Ranch. The life on a large ranch is uneventful but pleasant, says a letter from Southern California to the New York Post. This of ours contains nearly 800 acres, and produces oranges, lemons, grapes, olives, and apricots. It extends up the Hanta Paula Canon nearly a mile, and reaches southward to the edge of the country road that runs through the valley. West ward the property lies along the side of a gently sloping hill for a distance of nearly two miles. The original bounda ries of the ranch were once much more extended than now. Then the property embraced all the land that at present is occupied by the village, and reached across the river to the opposite range of of mountains. But there was too much land then, and the surplus was sold at different times, the money received for it being used in improving the acres that were retained. Parts of the ranch are still uncultivated, and are used for pasturing a few sheep and fancy cattle. The vineyard is small, and so is the olive patch; but the orange and lemon orchards cover 200 acres of ground, and are at present just in their prime. Wagou loads of the lus cious fruits are sent off every day to Ven tura, where they are sold or shipped, and the rounded trees add rich masses of deep green color to the landscape. The oranges hanging from the bendiug boughs gleam through the foliage like lumps of gold. In the morning before breakfast we visit the grove, and reaching up, pluck what fruit we want. Them is no comparison between the taste of a freshly picked orange and that of one bought at a shop. We have been taught how to eat the orange too. Instead of peeling and quartering it, thus getting the pulp with the juice, wc pare it as we do an apple and then eat around the core. In this way the pulp is not taken into the mouth, and we get nothing but tender particles. The best among us consume half-a-dozen oranges at a time in this manner, and the youngest can safely at tack at least three. The trees are now in bloom, but with the blossoms there is always fruit. Each tree yields from 1,000 to 2.000 oranges. The Law of the Road. Many drivers of heavily loaded vehicles seem to think that all lightly loaded ones should turn out and give them all the traveled part of the road. As is well ex pressed by Burton W. Potter, in his little handbook, * ‘The Road and the Roadside, ” “No doubt a lightly-loaded vehicle can often turn out with less convenience than a heavily loaded one,and generally every thoughtful and considerate driver of a light vehicle is willing to, and does, give the heavy vehicle more than half the road on every proper occasion; but the driver of the heavy vehicle ought to understand that it is done out of courtesy to him self and consideration for his horses, and not because it is required by any rule o! law. The statute law of the road in most States makes no distinction between the lightly and the heavy loaded vehicles. Both alike are required to pass to the right of the traveled part of the road. In case of accident the court would un doubtedly take into consideration the size and load of each vehicle as bearing upon the question of the conduct of the driver under the circumstances,and theii responsibility would be settled in ac cordance with ‘the law of the road,’ modified and possibly reversed by the situation of the parties and tne circum stances surrounding them at the time.’ 1 —American Cultivator. Danger from Fonl Earth. As to the advisability of filling ravine* i Mid lots with street refuse mixed mure! or less with garbage, there is serious j question. To a certain extent it can be j safely done; but when the tilling is car- j ried up so near the desired level thal. only a thin shell of presentable earth can I be placed on top of the rubbish, the buried filth becomes a source of danger. ! Being of a porous and spongy nature, it in time becomes saturated with organic matter through the leaking of sewers and vaults ; and wherever a house is built on the filled premises the excavation for the cellar cuts through the crust and af fords ventilation for the subterranean nastiness. That death and disease should immediately occupy new houses upon lots so filled should occasion no surprise. Re cently, at Chicago, almost an entire family was swept away bv malignant disease that was afterward shown to havo been caused by exhalations from the cellar, the floor of which was nothing le?s thau a spongy mass of filth, the entire lot on which the house stands having been filled with refuse from streets and back-yards. This danger from promiscuous tilling may serve to reconcile taxpayers to the expense of dump scows for lake work when their use shall become necessary.— Hall's Journal of Health. There are two markets opposite cai h other in Gibraltar, the Spanish market and the Moorish market, for nothing of any account is produced in Gibraltar. In the Moorish market are all kinds of fruits, chickens and eggs, brought over from Morocco. The eggs come in large hampers made of grass and willow, and holding 3,000. Eggs sell about one hun- 1 dred for from five to six francs. One can buy 500 juicy oranges for $2.50. The sellers sit in their narrow stalls in front of thousands of live chickens that keep up c ntinual clatter. Son? Birds Boarding Out The following notice, posted in the window of a bird 6tore in New York, re cently, attracted the attention of a Mail and Express reporter: _ . : Birds Boarded by the Week or Month. : He stepped in to investigate. The person in charge of the establishment ex plained that a regular branch of the busi ness consisted in.caring for songbirds and other feathered pets, belonging to families who had arranged to pass the summer months out of town. Hundreds of birds of all sizes, colors and specie made the p'.ace a wilderness of discord as they screamed, chattered, warbled or sang, all in different keys. About fifty of the prisoners were boarders; the others were offered for sale. “Before another month passes by,” said the at tendant, “we shall have a hundred birds boarding here, for then, almost every body who can afford it, will have made arrangements to go to the country, if not to Europe. When they go away they leave their dogs in charge of the coach man, except the toy dogs, which are taken along when possible. The cat is left behind to shift for himself, but the song bird is either put out to board, or loaned to some friend who will be sure to care for it kindly. ’* “Are birds expensive boarders?” “We can make money by boarding canaries and finches at 15 cents per week if we have a good many customers. We charge 50 cents for mocking birds, which are choice in their food, and the same sum for parrots. Bay we have sixty reg ular boarders the season round, and average the day at 30 cents each, we have $lB per week coming in, and sl3 of this is clear profit. But our customers, who are usually wealthy ladies, often insist on paying tenfold the amount of our bill. The owner of this mocking-bird gave me S2O for caring for it duing the next two months.” A carriage had just rolled up to the door and a young lady in costly garb alighted, attended by a man-servant in livery. She bore in her hand a gil cage. “I have brought you this bad boy again,” she said, lightly, “and if any thing goes wrong with him write me at once to this address.” When birds arc removed from richly furnished boudoirs of their fair owners to a noisy store they become at first moody, and in some in stances even decline to take food, but gradually they accept the situation and appear to like the company.

A great many people are afflicted with Catarrh who do not know what ails t-hems and a great many more continue sufferer; who might to cured. Thickening of the membrane which lines the nasal passages, thus making breathing difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more or less copious, watery or thick, according to the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the head; a constant inclination to spit; and, m advanced cases, a dropping of intensely disgusting matter into the throat, ore a few of the prominent symptoms of Catarrh. Deafness, inflamed eyes, neuralgic pains, sore throat and a loss of sense of smell, are very often caused by Catarrh. All these troubles are cured by Piso's Rem edy for Catarrh. Relief is had immediately after beginning its use, but it is important that it be continued without intermission until tho catarrhal virus is expelled from the system and healthy secretions replace the diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a short time of a disease that has been progressing for months or years. This question of time is provided for in the putting up of Piso’s Remedy for Catarrh. It is so concentrated that a very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package is sufficient for a long treatment, consequently the expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse for neglect nor reason for it but for getfulness. A cold in the head is relieved by an appli cation of Piso’s Remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got f rora it in this way is worth many times the cost. The foliowing letters are specimens of those received every day, testifying to the worth of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh: Allegheny, Pa., Bept. 16,1885. Piso's remedy for Catarrh is doing wonders for me. I believe it will cure any caso of Catarrh, if used according to directions. Mrs. F. JOHNSON, 40 E. Diamond St. Spring llill, W. Va., Oct, 20,1885.
