dr mmm sermon THE MIDNIGHT BETEL. [Preached at Monona* Wla.] Text: “In that night was Belshazzar, the Eng of the Chaldeans, slain.” Daniel v., Feasting has been known in all ages It was one of the most exciting times in Eng lish history when Queen Elizabeth visited Lord Leicester at Kenilworth Castle. The moment of her arrival was considered so im portant that all the clocks of the castle were stopped, so that Hr* hands might point to that one moment as being the most signifi cant of all. She was greeted to the gate with floating islands and torches and the thunder of cannon and fireworks that set the night ablaze, and a great burst of music that lifted the whole scene into perfect enchant ment Then she was introduced in a dining hall, the luxuries of which astonished the world; *looservants waited upon the guest-s; the entertainment cost $5,000 each day. Lord Leicester made that great supper in Kenilworth Castle. Cardinal Wolsey entertained the French ambassadors at Hampton Court. The best cooks in all the land prepared for the ban cjuet; purveyors went out and traveled all the kingdom over to find spoils for tho table. T»ie time came. The guests were kept during the day hunting in the King’s park, so that their appetites might be keen; and then, in th‘? evening, to the sound of the trumpeters, they were introduced iuto a hall hung with silk and cloth of gold, and there were tables with imperial plate and laden with the rarest of meats and a-blush with the cost* 1 lest of wines; and when the second course of the feast came it was found that the arti cles of food had l»een fashioned iuto the shape of men, birds and beasts, and groups dancing and jousting parties ridin-r against ea h other with lances. Lords and Princes and Ambassadors, out of cups tilled to the brim, drank tho health, first of the King of England and next to the K,n S of France. Cardinal Wolsey pre pared that great supper in Hampton Court. But my text, takes us to a more exciting banquet. Night was about to come clown upon Babylon. Tho shadows of her 250 tow ers began to lengthen. The Euphrates rolled on, touched bv the fiery splendors of the set ting sun; and gates of brass, burnished aud g ottering, opened and shut like doors of hanging gardens of Babylon, wet with heavy dew, began to pour from starlit flowers aud dripping leaf a fragrance for man}' miles around. The streets and squares were lighted for dan, e and frolic and prom enade. The theatres aud galleries of art in vited the wealth, aud pomp, and grandeur of the city to raie entertainments Scene* of liot an 1 was-ail were mingled in every street, and godless mirth aud outrageous ex <ess and splendid wickedness rnme to the King s palace to do their mightiest deeds of darknes-. A royal fe ist to night at the King’s i ala ( *e! Rushing up to the gates are chariots upholstered with pre cious cloths from Dedan aud drawn by fire eyed horses from Togarmah, that'rear and neigh in the grasp of the chariole, rs, while a thousand Lords dismount, and women dressed in all the splendor of Syrian emeruld, nn l tho color blending of agate, and the chasteness of coral, and the sombre glorv of Tyrian purple, and princely embroideries brought from afar by cameis across the desert aud by ships of Tarshish across tho sea. Open wide the gates and let fche guests come in! The chamberlains and cup bearers are all ready. Hark to the rustle of the silks and to the carol of the music! roe tho blaze of the jewels! Lift tho ban ners! Fill tho cujs! Clap tho cymbals! Blow the truini ets! Let tho night go by with song and dance and ovation, and lot that Babylonish tongue be palsied, that will not say: “O King Belshazzar, live for ever!” Ab, my fr.ends! it was not any common banquet to which these great people came. All parts of the earth had sent their richest viands to that table. Brackets and chande liers Hashed their light upon tankards of bur nished gold. Fruits, ripe and luscious, in baskets of silver, entwined with leaves, plucked from; royal conservatories. Vases inlaid with emerald aud ridged with exquis ite trateries, filled with nuts that were threshed from forests of distant lauds. Wine brought from the royal vats, foaming in the decanters aud bubbling in the chalices. Tufts of cassia and frankincense wafting their sweetness from wall aud table, Gorgeous banners unfolding in the breo o that came through the opened window, bewitched with the jierfume of hanging gardens. Fountains rising up trom inclosures of ivory in jets of crystal, to fall in clattering rain of diamonds r.nd pearl*. Statues of mighty men looking down from niches in the wall upon crowns and shields brought from subdued empires. Idol; of wonderful work standing on pedevtals of precious stones. Embroid eries drooping about the windows and wrapping pillais of cedar, and drift ing on floors inlaid with ivory aud agace. Music, mingling the thrum of harps, and the clash of cymba s, and the blast of trumpets in one wave of transport that went rippling along the w all and breathing among the gar lands, and f ouring down the corridors, and thrilling the souls of a thousand banqueters. The signal is given, and the lords aud ladies, tho mighty men and women of the land,come around tho teb’e. Pour out the wine! Let toam and bubble kiss the rim! Hoist every one his cup, and drink to the sentiment: “()h. King Belshazzar, live for ever!” Pastured headband and carcanet of royal beauty Aham to tho uplifted < halices, as again and again and again they are emptied. Away with care from the palace! Tear royal dig nify co tatters! Pour out more wine! Give us more light, wilder music, sweeter perfume! Lord shouts to lord, captain ogles to cap tain, goblets clash, decanters rattle. There comes in the obs'one song aud tho drunken « •'?J I . and the slavering lip and thocufTaw of idiotic laughter bursting from the lip* of Princes, flushed, reeling, bloodshot; while mingling with it all 1 hear: “Huzza, huzza, for great Belshazzar!” What i.* that on tho plastering of tho wall? Is it a spirit? Is it a phautom? Is it God? The music steps. The goblets fad from tho nerveless grasp. There is a thrill. There is n start. There is a thousand-voiced shriek of horror. Let Uauiel lie brought in to read writing. He comes in. He reads it: Weighed in tho 1 .alatces, and art found wanting. ’ Meanwhile tho Assyrians, who for two years had lieen laying a siege to that city, took advantage of ihat carousal, anil came in. I hear the feet of the conquerors on the palace stairs. Massacre rushes in with n thousand gleaming knives. Death bursts upon the scene; and I shut the door of that banqueting hall, for I do not want to look. There is nothing there but torn banners aud broken wreaths, and the slush of upset tan sards, and the blood of murdered women, oml the kii ko i and tumtilod i areas* of n dead Km?. For in that night was Belshazzar slain. I. I learn from thin, that, when f.od writes anything on the wall, a man had Better read V*' l >an *el did not misinterpret or ""•■ llvthe handwriting on tho wall. It is ad I Htlishuo-s to experta minister of tho gos pel to preach always things that the people like or the l>eople choose. What shall 1 preaeh to y,m t .-day! Khali I tell you of the dignity (jt human natuie.' Khali I tell youof the Wonders that our race has ac complished I Ob, no. vou say, “tell me tho message that tame from God." I will. If thor e Is any handwriting on the wall, it is this lesson: Repent, ac. opt of Christ and be saved.” I might talk of a great mauy other things, but that is tho mestage, aud so I declare it Jesus never Mattered those to whom he preached. II" said to tbo.>e who did wrong aud who ■were offensive in his sight: “Ye generation of vipers, yo whited sepulchres! how can ya esc ape the damnation of hell <’’ I'aul the Apostle preached before a man who was not Sjfel? h “ 1 ; P«**- What subject did be take. Old he say: “Oh, you are a good mm a very fine mail, a very noble maul ' ! bo: he preached of righteousness, to a man who was unrighteous; of terniscraace, to a man who was the victim;of Bad appol ites; of the judgment to come, to a man* who was mc h° W ° muat alwa - v " Jwlare the message that happens to come to us. Daniel must read it as it is. A minister preached before Jatno* L of England, who wa« James VL of Scotland. What subject did ho take! The King was noted all over the world for being unsettled and wavering in his ideas. What did tho minister preach about to this man who was James I, of England and James Vl. ol Scotland? He took for his text* James i.. t>: "Ho that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with tho wind and tossed.” Hugh Latimer offended the King by a sermon ne preached, and the King said: •‘Hugh Latimer, come and apologize.” “I will,'said ttugh Latimer. So the day was appointed, aud tho King’s chapel was full of Lords and Dukes, ond the mighty meu aud women of tho country, for Hugh Latimer was to apologize. He began his sermon by saying: “Hugu Latimer, be think thee! 'ihou art in the presence of thine earthly King, who can destroy thy bodyl But bethink thee, Hugh Latimer, tuat thou art in the presence of the King of Heaven and earth, who can destroy both body and soul in hell fire. Oli. King, cursed be thy crimes!” 2. Another lesson that conies to us: There is a great difference between the owning of the bunquet of sin and its close. Young man, if you bad looked iu upon the banquet in the first few hours, you would have wished you had bceu invited there and could sit at the feast “Oh* the grandeur of Belshazzar’s feast,” you would have said; but you look in at the close of the banquet aud your blood curdles with horror. The King of Terrors has there a ghastlier banquet; numan blood i* the wine aud dying groans are the music. Sin has made itself a King in the earth. It has crowned itself. It has spread a banquet. It invites all tho world to come to it! It has hung in its ban queting hall the spoils of all kingdoms and the banners of all nations. It has strewn from its wealth the tables and floors and arches. And yet how often is that banquet broken up and how horrible is its end! Ever and anon there is a handwriting on the wall, m Km g falls. A groat culprit is arrested. The knees of wickedness knock together. God's judgment, like an armed host, breaks in upon tho banquet, and that night is Bel shazzar, the King of the Chaldeans, slain. Here is a young man who says: “I can not see why they mako such a fuss about the intoxicating cup. Why, it is exhilarating. It makes me feel well. I can talk better, think better, feel better. I cannot see why people have such a prejudice against it.” A few years pass on and ho wakes up and finds himself in tho clutches of an evil habit which ho tries to break, but cannot; aud he cries out: “Oh Lord God, help me!” Itseemsas though God would not hear his prayer, and m an agony of body and soul he cries ont: “It bitoth like a serpent and it stingeth like an adder.” How bright it was at the start! How black it was at tho last! Here is a man who begins to read French novels. “They are so charming,” he says; “I will go out aiul see for myself whether all these tilings are so.” He opens the gate of a sinful life. He goes in. A sinful sprite meets him with her wand. She waves her wand, and it is all enchantment. Why, it seems as if the angels of God had poured out phials of pei-f uine in the atmosphere. As he walks on ho finds the hills becoming more radi ant with foliage, and th9 ravines more resonant with the falling water. Ob, what a charming landscape he sees! But that sinful sprite with her wand meets him again; and now she reverses the wand and all the enchantment is gone. The cup is full of poison. The fruit turns to ashes. All tho lca>es of the bower are forked tongues of hissing serpents. The flowing fountains fall back in a dead pool stenchful with corruption. Tho luring songs become curses and screams of demoniac laughter. Lost spirits gather about him and feel for his heart, and beckon him on with: “Hail, brother! Hail, blasted spirit, hail!” He tries to get out. He comes to the front door where he entered and tries to push it back, but the door turns against him; and in the jar of that shutting door ho heirs these words: “This night is Belshazzar, the King of the Chaldeans, slain!’ Sin may open bright as the morning; it closes dark as tho night. ;j. I learn further from this subject that death sometimes breaks in upon a banquet. Why did he not go down to the prisons in Babylon- There were people there that would like to have died. I suppose there were men and women in torture in that city who woul l have welcomed death. But he comes to the palace, and just at the time when the mirth is dashing to tie tiMop pitch, death breaks in at the banquet \*Vc nave often seen the same thing iiiudrated * Here is a young man just come from Co j’ / lege. He is kind. He is loving. He is en thusiastic. Lie is eloquent. By or.** spring he may bound to heights toward which many men have b*en struggling lor years. A pro fession opens before him. He is established in the law. His friends clicor him. Eminent men encourage him. Afior awhile you may see him stauding in the American Senate, or moving a popular assemblage by his elo quence, as trees are moved in a whii lwiud. Some night he retires early. A fever is on him. Delirium, like a reckless charioteer, seizes the reins of his intellect. Father and mother stand by and see tho tides of life going out to the great ocean. The banquet is coming to an end. The lights of thought and mirth and eloquence are being extin guished. The garlands are snatched from the brow. Tho vision is gone. We saw tho same thing on a larger scale illustrated at the last war in this country. Our whole nation had been sitting at a na tional banquet—North, South, East and West. What grain was there but we grew if on our hills? What invention was there but our rivers must turn the new wheel and rattle the strange shuttle? What warm fur* but our trailers must bring thorn from the Arctic? What fish but that our nots must sweep them for the markets? What music but it must sing in our halls? What eloquence but it must speak in cur Senates? Ho! to I the national banquet, reaching from mountain to moun tain ond from sea to sea! To prepare that banquet the shoepfolds and tho aviaries of tho country sent their bent treasures. The orchards piled up on the table their sweetest fruits. The presses burst out with new wines. To sit at that tablo came the yeomanry of i Now Hampshire, and the lumbermen of ; Maine, and the tanned Carolinian from the rice swamps, and the liarvestors of Wisc onsin, j and the Western emigrant from tho pines ol | Oregon; and wo were all brothres—brothers at a banquet. Suddenly the feast ended What meant those mounds thrown up at Chickahominy, Shiloh, Atlanta, Gettysburg, South Mountain? What meant those golden grain fields turned into a pasturing ground for cavalry horses? What meant the corn fields gu I liVl with Ihe wheels of the heavy supply train? Why those rivers of tears, those lakes of blood? God was angry. Jus tice must come. A handwriting on the wall I The nation hail been weighed anil found wanting. Darkness! Darkness! Woe to the North! Woo to the South! Woo to the .East! Woe to the West! Death at tho ban quet! 4. I have also to learn from the subject that the destruction of tho vicious and of thoso who despise God will be very sudden. The wave of mirth had dashed to the highest, point when that Assyrian army broke through. It was unexpected. Suddenly, al most always, comes the doom of those who « riespiso God and defy the laws of men. How was it at the Deluge. Do you suppose it came through a long northwestern storm, so that people for days before were sure it was com ing? No: I suppose the morning was bright; that calmness brooded on the waters; that beauty sat enthroned on the hills, when sud denly the heavens burst and the mountains sank like anchors Into the sea, that da-died clear over the Andes and the Himalayas. The Red Bea was divided The Egyptians Wed to cross it. There could be no danger. The Israelites had just gone through; where they hail gone, why not the Egyptians? Oh, it was such a beautiful walking place! A pavement of tinged shells and pearls, and ou either side a great wall of water, solid. There can b:» no danger. Forward, great host of the Egyptians! Clap the bynihals and Mow the trumpets of victory! After them! We will cat h them yet aud they shall be destroyed. But the walls of solidified water tiegin to tremble. 'They rock. They fall. Tho rushing waters! The shriek of drowning inen! The swimming of the war horses in va n for the shore! The strewing of tho great host ou the tjottom of the sea, or pitched by the angry wave on the beach—a battered, bruised and loathsome wreck! Sud denly destruction came. One half hour be* fore they could not have believed it I am just setting forth a fa~t which ybu have noticed a * well as J. Ananias comes to the apostle. The apostle says: “Did you sell tne land for eo much?” He says: “Yes.” It was a lie. Dead! As quick as that! Miira, his wife, comes in. “bid you sell nd for so much?” “Yes.” It was a lie, and quick as that she wa3 dead! God's judg ments are upon those who despise and defy Him. They come suddenly. The destroying angel went through Egypt. Do you suppose that any of the people knew that he was coming? Did they hear the flap of his great wings? No! No! Suddenly, unexpectedly, he came. Skilled sportsmen ilo not like to shoot a bird standing on a sprig near by. If they nro skilled, they pride themselves on taking it on the wing, anil they wait till it starts. Death is an old sportsman, anil he loves to take men flying under tho very sun. He loves to take them on the wing. Are there any hern who are unpsrtpared for the eternal world? Are there any here who have l>eon living without God and with out hope? Let me say to you that you had bet ter accept of the Lord Jesus Christ, lest sud denly your last chance be gone. The lungs will ceaso to breathe, the heart will stop. The time will come when you shall go no more to the office, or to the store, or to the shop. Nothing will he left but death, and judgment, and eternity. Oh, floe to God this hour! If there be one in this presonce who ha:* wandered far away from Christ, though he may not have heard the call of the gospel for mauy a year, I invito him now to come and be saved. Flee from thy sin! Flee to the stronghold of tho gospel! To-day 1 invito you to a grander banquet than any I have mentioned. My Lord, the King, is the banqueter. Angels are the cup bearers. All the redeemed are the guests. The balls of eternal love, frescoed with light, anil jawed with joy, and curtained with un fading beauty, are the banqueting place. The harmonies of eternity are the music. The chalices of heaven are tho plate; and I am one of the servants coming out with both hands filled with invitutions, scattering them everywhere; and of that, for yourselves, you might break the seal of the invitation and read the words written in red ink of blood by the tremulous hand of n dying Christ: “Come now, for all things are ready.” After this day has rolled by and the night has come, may you have rosy sleep guarded by Him who never slumbers! May you awake in the morning strong and well! But. oh, art thou a despiser of God? Is the com ing night the last night on earth? Shouldest thou lie awakened in the night by some thing, thou knowest not what, and there be shadows floating in the room, and a hand writing on the wall, and you feel that your last hour is come, and there lie fainting at the heart, and a tremor iu the limb, and a catching of the breath—then thy doom would be but an echo of the words of my text: “In that night was Belshazzar, the King of the Chaldeans, slain.” A Queer Pair of Smiths. The difficulty of meeting tho dietetic requirements of certain pets reminds mo of another pair of lizards that in turn in habited the bell • glass. wtre brought from Brazil, ogd introduced to me by the name of Taiaquira Smith. An i or two should terminate and dignify the latter name, to commemorate the par ticular Smith who bestowed it on Tarra quira; but Smith is simple und practical; and the Tarraquira Smiths was the name of my two little Brazilians lizards. The smaller one measured about eight inches from the snout to the tip of his ‘lender tail; the larger one was ten or more inches in length. They arc, however, less agreeable to handle than the previ ous pets, their tails being armed with very finely-pointed sharp scales in whorls. The lizards seem to know how to use this long tail protectively, having acquired a habit of retrogression, and, when held, of backing out of the hand, as if with the intention of pricking or inconvenien cing you with these sharp spines, which are thus converted into weapons of de fence. When persistently held or de tained*. vWprict|£.g effect canscd by f this backward motion is by no means agree-' 1 able. j?o*w»d, they were provided with a supply of a pfectliuV kind of cockroach which infested the reptile house at the Zoological Gardens of London, near which I happened to reside; but my two little foreigners persistently declined them and any other cqns’ly tempting food. Indeed, the poor little Smiths were in such a feeble condition from ex posure to cold during their translerfrom the ship to their glass home that the smaller one soon died.— Chamber ft Jour* nal. Cruelty to Pigeons. The object of those who provide doves for tournaments is to produce birds that will rise rapidly from the trap, fly ernt ically, and make a struggle to get out of the bounds, even if hit. The plan used to be to pull a few feathers out of the pigeon’s tail and to paint with a touch of tar, or to run a pin through its hind part. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty has interfered with those prac tices, and I am told now that the follow ing resource of civilization meets the difficulty: The only water given to the birds for twelve to twenty-four hours before the tournament is salt water. This almost maddens them, and when they rise from the trap they fulfill all require ments. Anyone, my informant says, might convince himself of this by taking some of the pigeons from the basket just before they are put in the trap. If they are given fresh water they drink so much that they almost immediately die. 1 would suggest that an officer for the prevention of cruelty should get hold of some birds and try the experiment. The salt-water course is termini “hardening rocketers. ” —London Truth . A man in Pitt.Jmrg has just patented a machine with which to blow window glass with compressed .air, which, it is claimed, will revolutionize the business. liMDOi'lnul lu .Uirri limit Tniloi*.

They should be cut down the scam and smoothly folded, with the foot inside. The edges should be firmly overcast with strong linen thread. Slip covers for ironholders are admirable. They may be made of stout gray linen in a bag shape. They are slipped over the ironholder and tacked at the open end. Water for Fretful Babies. How often does the baby fret in hot weather, and how promptly do many mothers atid nursed attribute this frfifc fulness to the heat, and, therefore, ttiaktt no attempt to allay it. Os, it is surmised that colic, a most convenient malady, i causes the werry. In this case, warm, sweetened hei b tea is administered, gen erally without appreciable results. Baby would not fret in this way if its mother would give it a few drops ot cold water. From the nature of the food that infants take, more or less suffering from thirst is produced, and a teaspoonful of cold water, given frequently during the day, will do wonders toward keeping the baby always in a happy mood. In hot, sultry weather a little salcratu3 in the tepid bath will sootho the skin that is af fected by the heat.—New York Commer :ial. Unfermented Breads. A lady gives the following in Good Housekeeping: There are many ways of making bread without yeast, and although any of them produces light bread, some arc less whole tonic than others, according to the acid used.

An international conference has just taken place at Amsterdam which was summoned to arrange for the suppres sion of the floating drinking saloons which have been creating such havoc among the seamen of the fishing fleets in the North Bea. These saloons were fitted up on vessels specially arranged for the purpose aud were provided with dis tilleries on board so as to avoid paying any duty.
