' It,MUSE'S SERMON. Subject of Discourse: "The Proud In valid.” r. p ■ - , Tklt: "He was a leper.” 11. Kings, v., 1. Hero we have a warrior sick; not with pleurisies or rheumatisms or consumptions, out with a disease worse than all these put together. A red mark has come out on the forehead, precursor of complete ment and dissolution. I have something aw ful to tell you. General Naaman, the Com mander-in-Chief of all tfce Assyrian forces has the leprosy! It is on his hands, on his face, on his feet, on his entire person. The leprosy! Get out of the way of the pestilence! If his breath strikes you, you are a'dead man. The Commander-in-Chief of all tbe forces of Assyria. And yet he would be glad to ex change conditions with the boy atnisstirrup, or the other that blankets his charger. The news goes like wild fire all through the realm and the people are sympathetic and they cry out: “Is it possible that our great hero who shot Ahabe, around whom we came with such vociferation when he returned from vic torious battle—can it be possible that our grand and glorious Naaman has the lep rosy? Yea Everybody has something he wishes he had not David, an Absalom to disgrace him; Paul, a thorn to sting him; Job, car buncles to plague him : Samson, a Polilah to shear him; Ahab, a Naboth to deny him: Hainan, Mordecai to irritate him; Georgo Washington, childlessness to afflict him; John Wesley, a termagant wife to pester him; Leah, weak eyes; Pope, a croo-ed back; Byron, a club foot; John Milton, blind eves Charles Lamb, an insane sister, and you, and you, and you, and you, something never bargained for and would like to get rid of. The reason of this is that God docs not want this world to be too bright: other wise, we would always want to stay and eat these fruits, and lie on theso lounges and shake hands in this plea*ant society. We aro only in the vestibule of a grand temple. God Hoes not want ns to stay on the doorstep, and therefore be 6ends ache* and annoyances and Borrows and bereavements and all sorts to push ns on and push us up toward riper fruits aud brighter society and more radiant prosj>eri ties. God is only whipping us ahead. The reason that Edward Payson and Rob ert Hall had more rapturous viows of heaven than other people had was be came, through their aches and pains, God pushed them nearer up to it If God dashes out one of vour pictures it is only to show yon a brighter one. If He sting your foot with gout, your brain with neuralgia, your tongue with an inextinguishable thirst, it is only because He is preparing to substitute a better body than you ever dreamed of, when the mortal shall put on immortality. It is to push you on and push you up toward some thing grander, that God sends upon j'ou as He did upon General Naaman something you do not want. Seated iu his Assyrian man sion—all the walls glittering with the shields which he had captured in battle; the corri dors crowded with admiring visitors who just wanted to see him once; music and mirth and banqueting filling all tbe mansion, from t.*s eelatod floor to pictured ceiling—Naaman would have forgotten that there was any thing better and would have been glad to atay there ten thousand years. Rut, oh, how the shields dim and how the visiters fly from the ball and how the music drops dead from the string, and how the gates of the mansion slam shut with a sepulchral bang, as you read the closing words of the oulogiurn: “He was a leper! He was a leper! 5 ’ There was one person more sympathetic with General Naaman than any other person. Naaman s wife walks the floor, wr ugmg her bands and trying to think what «he can do to alleviate her husbrad’s suffering. All remedies have failed. The Surgeon-General and the doctors of the royal staff have mot, and they have shaken the r heads as much as to say: “No cure; no cure.” I think that the office-seekers had all folded up their recommendations and gone home. Probably most of tbe employes of the establishment hart dropped their work, and wore thinking of looking for some other sit.iation. What shall now become of poor Naaoian’s wife? She must have sympathy somewhere. In her despair she goes to a little Hebrew»apti ve, a servant girl in her house, to whom she tells tbe whole story; as sometimes, when over borne by the sorrows of the world, and find ing no sympathy anywhere else, you have gone out and found in the sympathy of some humble domestic—Rose or Dinah or Bridget —a help which the world could not give you. What a scene it was ! One of the grandest women in all Assyria in cabinet council with a waiting maid over the declining health of the mighty General! “I know something,’’ Bays the little captive maid. “I know some thing,” as she bounds to her bare feet. “In the land from which I was stolen there is a certain prophet known by the name of Elisha, who can cure almost everything, and I shouldn’t wonder if ho could cure ray mas ter. Bend for him right away.” “Oh. hush!” you say. “If the highest medical talent in all the land cannot euro that leper, there is no need of your listening to any talk of a servant girl.” But do not scoff, do not sneer. The finger of that little captive maid is pointing in the right dire tion. She might have said: “This is a judgment on yon for stealing me from my native land. Didn't they snatch me off in the night, breaking my father and mother's heart? And many a time I have laid and cried all night because I was so homesick.” Then, flushing up into child ish indignation, the might have said: “Good for them; I’m glad Naaman s got the leprosy; J wish all the Assyriaus had the leprosy.” No. Forgetting her own personal sorrows, she sympathizes with the suffering of her master and commands him to tbe famous Hebrew prophet. And how often it is that the finger of childhood has pointed grown persons in the right direction. Oh Christian soul, how long hut since you got rid of the leprosy of sin ? You sav: “Let me see. It must oe five years now." “Five years. Who was it that pointed you to the Divine Physician?” “Oh,” you ■ay, “it was my little Annie or Fred or Charley, that clambered up on my knees and looked in my face and asked me why I didn't become a Christian and all the tirtie stroking my cheek so I couldn’t get angry, insstxl upon knowing why I didn’ t nave family prayers.” There are grandparents here who h * T *. b *™. brou « ht Ixs Christ by their little grandchildren. There are many Christian mother* here who had their attention first railed to Jeeua by their little children. How did yon set rid of the leprosy o' sin? How did yon find your way to the Divine Pbyst «*“* •‘Oh." yon Bay, “my child, my dying child, with wan anil wasted finger pointed that way. Oh, I shall never forgot,” you eay. “that scene at the cradle and the crib that awful night It was hard, hard, very hard; but if that little one on ita dying bed . had not pointed me to Christ, I don t chink I ever would have got rid of my leprosy.” Go into the Sabbath-school this afternoon and yon will find hundreds of little fingers point ing In the same direction, toward Jesus Christ and toward heaven. Yesra ago the astronomers calculated that fbere most bam world hanging at a oertain petat in the heavens and a largo prim was offered for some one who could discover that world. The toleecopee from the great ob eervatoriee were pointed in vain; but a girl at Nantaucket, Maes., fashioned a telescope, and looking through it, discovered that star * and won the prim and the admiration of all the astronomical world that stood amaari at ‘ her genius. And so it is often the earn that , grown people cannot see the light, while i eomeltttle child beholds the star of pardon, »tnr of hope, the star of oonaolation, tin elnr of Bethlehem,the morning star of Jesus. , •Hot many mighty men, not many wise men •re celled ; bat God hath cboaoo tbe weak things of the world to confound the mighty; end hem thing* and things that are not, to Mngtn naught things that are.” Oh, do not d wpfcii the prattle of little children when they ate making about God and Christ and heaven. Yon am the way your child is polnt petntlng; will yon take that pointing,or wait uotil, iu the wrench of some awful bereave- , mentj God shall lift that child to another world and thpi it will beckon you uowardf . Will you take the pointing, or wfll you wait for the beckoning? Blessed be God that the little Hebrew captive pointed in the right di rection. Blessed be Go 4 for the saving min istry of Christian children No wonder the advice of thisllttle Hebrew captive threw all Naaman’s mansion and Ben-hadad’s palace into excitement. Good bye,Naaman! With face scarified and ridged and inflamed by the pestilence and aided by those who supported him on either side, be staggered out to the chat iot. Hold fast the flery coursers of the royal stable while the poor sick man lifts his swollen feet and pain-struck limbs into the vehicle. Bolster him up with the pillows and let him take a lingering look at ills bright apartment, for perhaps the Hebrew captive may be mistaken, and the next time Naaman comes to that place he may he a dead weight on tho shoul ders of those who carry him—an expired chief tan seeking sepulture amid the lamenta tions of an admiring nation. Good bye, Naa man! Let the charioteer drive gently over the hills of Herinon lest he jolt the invalid. Here goes the bravest man of all his day a captive of a horrible disease. As the ambulance winds through the streets of Damascus the tears and prayers of all the people go after the world-renown el invalid. Perhaps you have bad an invalid go out from your house ou a health excursion. You know how the neighbors stood around and said: “Ah, he will Dever come back again alive.” Oh, it was a solemn moment I tell you when the invalid had departed and you went into the room to make the bed, and to remove the medicine phials from the shelf and to throw open the shutters so that the fresh air might rush into the long-closed room. Good-bye, Naaman! There is only one cheerful face looking at him, and that is the face of the little Hebrew captive,who is sure he will get cured and who is so glad she helped him. As tbe chariot winds out and the escort of mounted courtiers and the mules ladened with hacks of gold and silver and embroidered suits of apparel went through the gates of Damascus aud out on the long way, the hills of Naphtali and Eph raim look down on the procession, and the retinae goes right past the battlefields whore Naaman, in the days of his health, used to rally his troops for fearful onset, and then tbe procession stops and reclines a while in the groves of olives and oleander—and Gen- I eral Naaman so sick; so very, very sick I How the countrymen gaped as the proces sion passed ? They bad seen Naaman go past like a whirlwind in days gone by, and had stood aghast at the clank of Ills war equip ments; but now they commiserate him. They say: “Door man, he will never get home alive! Poor man!” General Naaman wakes up from a restless sleep in the chariot, andhesaysto the charioteer: “How long before we shall reach this Prophet Elisha’s?” The charioteer says to a wavsidor: “How far is it to Elisha's house?” He says: “Two miles.” “Two miles.” Then they whip up the lathered and fagged-out horses. The whole procession brightens up at the pros pect of speedy arrival. They drive up to the door of the prophet The charioteers shout “whoa!” to the horses, and the tramp ing hoofs and grinding wheels cease shaking the earth. Come out, Elisha, como out; you have company; the grandest company that ever came to your house has come to it now, N»» stir inside Elisha’s house. The fact was, the Lord had informed Elisha thet the sick cap tain was coming and just how to treat him. Indeed, when you are sick and the Lord wants you to get well, He always tells the doctor how to treat you: and the reason we have so many bungling doctors is because they depend upon their owmstrength and in structions ana not on the Lord God, and that always makes malpractice. Come out, Elisha, and attend to your business. Gen eral Naaman and his retinue waifc?d and waited and waited. The fact was, Naaman bad two diseases—pride and leprosy; the one was as hard to get rid of as the other. Eli sha sits quietly iu his house and does not go out. After a while, when he thinks he has humbled this proud man, he says to a ser vant: “Go out aud tell General Naaman tc bathe seven times in the river Jordan, out yonder five miles, and he will get entirely well” The message comes out “What!” says the Commander-in-Chief of the Assyrian forces, his eye kindling with animation which it had not shown for weeks, and his swollen foot stamping on the bottom of the chariot, re gardless of pain. “What! Isn’t he coming out to 6ee me? Why, I thought certainly he would come and utter some cabalistic words over me or make Borne enigmatical passes over my wounds. Why, I don’t think he knows who I am; Isn’t he coming out? Why, when the Shunamite woman came to him, he rushed out and cried: ‘ls it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child?’and will he treat n poor unknown woman like that, and let me. a titled person age, sit here in my chariot and wait and wait? I won’t endure it any longer. Chariot eer, drive on! Wash in the Jordan! Ha! ha! The slimy Jordan—the muddy Jordan— the monotonous Jordan. I wouldn’t be seen washing in such a river as that. Why, we watered our horses in a better river than that on our way here, the beautiful river, the jasper-paved river of Pharpar. Besides that, we have in our country another Damascene river, Abana, withfohaged bank and torrent ever swift and ever clear, under the flicker ing shadows of sycamore and oleander. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?” I suppose Naaman felt very much as we would feel if, byway of medical prescrip tion some one should tell us to go and wash iu the Danube or the Rhine. We would an swer! “Are not the Connecticut and the Hudson just as good?” Or, as an Englishman would feel if he were told, byway of medi cal prescription, he must go and wash in the Mississippi or the St. Lawrence. He would cry out: “Are not the Thames and the Shan non just as well?” The fact was,that haughty Naaman needed to learn what every Eng lishmen and every American needs to learn —that when God tells you to do a thing, you must go and do it, whether you understand the reason or not. Take the prescription, whether you like it or not. One thing is cer tain ; unless haughty Naaman does as Elisha commands him, he will die of hi* awful sick ness. And unless yon do as Christ com mands you, you will be seized upon by an everlasting wasting way. Obey and live— disobey and die. Thrilling, over-arching, under-girding, stupendous alternative! Well, General Naaman could not stand the test. The charioteer gives a jerk to tbe right line until the bit snaps in the horse’s mouth and the whirr of the wheels and the flying of the dust show indignation of the great commander. “He turned and went away in a rage.” So people now often get mad at re ligion. They vituperate against ministers, against churches, sgainst Christian people. One would think from their irate behavioi that God had been studying how to annoy and exasperate and demolish them. What has He been doing? Only trying to cure their death-dealing leprosy. That Is all. Yet they whip up their horses, they dig in the spurs and they go away in a rage. Ho, after all, it teems that this health-ex cursion of General Naaman is to be a dead failure. That little Hebrew captive might as well have not told him of the prophet,and this long journey might as well not have been taken. Poor, sick, dying Naaman! Are you going away in high dudgeon and worse than when you came? As his chariot halts a moment, his servants dumber up in it and roan: him to do a* Elisha raid. They say: “If* taty. If the prophet had told yon to walk for a mile on sharp spikes in or der to get rid of this awful disease you would have done it. It fs easy. Come, my lord, just get down and wash in the Jordan. You > take a bath every doy anyhow, and in this climate it i» so hot it will do you good. Do ! it on our ac'onnt, and for the sake of the army you command, and for the sake of the nation that admires you. Come, my lord, just try this Jordan!? f»ath.” “Well,” be says, “to please you l will do as yon fav.” The retinue drive to the brink of. the Jor dan. Tbe horses paw and neigh to get into the stream themselves and cool their hot flanks. General Naaman, assisted by his attendants, gets down out of the chariot And painfully comes to the brink of the river and ■tops in until the water comes to the ankle, and goes on dee|*»r until tho water comes to j the girdle, and now. st riding »r> far down in f th ■ stream, just a litlle inclination of th i bead will thoroughly irameiae him. H 1 bows once in the flood and comes np and {hakes the water out of nostril and eye ; and bis attendants look at him and say: “Why. General, bow much better you do look.” And be bows a second time into the flood andheoomes up and tbe wild stare is gone out of his eye. He bows the third time into the flood and comes up and the shriveled flesh has got smooth again. He bows the fourth time into the flood and comes up and the hair that had fallen out is restored in thick locks again all over the brow. He bows the fifth time into the flood and comes up and the hoarseness has gone out of his throat. He bows the sixth time and comes up and all the soreness and anguish have gone out of the limbs. “Why,” be says, “I am almost well, but I will make a cora- Slete cure.” and he bows the seventh time ito the flood, and he come up, and not so much as a fester, or a scale, or an eruption as big as the head of a pin is to be seen on bim. He steps out on the bank and says: “Is it possible?” and the atbendauti look and say: “Is it possible?” and as, with the health of an athlete, he bounds back into tbe chariot and drives on, there goes up from all his attendants a wild “Huzza! huzza 1” Os course they go back to pay and thank the man of God for his counsel so fraught with wisdom. When they left the prophet’s house they went off mad; they have come back glad. People always think better of a minister after they are converted than they do before conversion. Now we are to them an intoler able nuisance because we tell them to do things that go against the grain ; but some of us have a great many letters from those who tell us that once they were angry at what we preached, but afterward gladly received the gospel at our hands. They once called us fanatics or terrorists or enemies; now they call us friends. Yonder is a man—l speak a literal fact—who said that he would never come into the. church again. He said that two years ago. He said: “My family shall never come here again if such doctrines as that are preached. ” But he came again and his family came again. He is a Christian, his wife a Christian, all his children Chris tians, the whole household Christians, and I shall dwell with them in the house of the Lord forever. Our undying coadjutors are those who once heard the gospel and went away in a rage. “Now, my hearers, you notioe that this General Naaman did two things in order to get well The first was—he got out of his chariot. He might have stayed there with his swollen feet on the stuffed ottoman, seated on that embroidered cushion until his last gasp, he would never have got any relief. He had to get down out of the chariot And you have got to get down out of th3 chariot of your pride if you ever become a Christian. You cannot drive up to the cro?s with a coach and four, and os saved among all the spangles. You seem to think that the Lord is going to be complimented by your coming. Oh, no; you poor, miserable, scaly, leprous sinner, get down out of that. We all come in the same haughty way. We expect to ride into the kingdom of God. Never until we get down on our knees will we find merey. The Lord has unhorsed us. uncharioted us. Get down out of your pride. Get down out of your self-righteousness and your hyper criticisra. W e have all got to do that. That is the journey we have got to make on our knees. It is our infernal pride that keeps us from getting rid of the leprosy of sin. Dear Lord, what have we to be proud of? Proud of our scales? Proud of our uncleanness? Proud of this killing infection? Bring us down at Thy feet, weeping, praying, penitent, believ ing suppliants. “For sinners, Ebrd, Thou earnest to bleed, And I’m a sinner vile indeed; Lord, I believe Thy grace is free, Oh, magnify that grace in me.” But he had not only to get down out of his chariot. He had to wash. “Oh!” you say. “I am very careful with my ablutions. Every day I plunge into a bright and beauti ful bath.” Ah, my hearers, there is a flood brighter than any other. It is the flood that breaks from the granite of the eternal hills. It is tbe flood of pardon and peace and life and heaven. That flood started in the teare of Christ and the sweat of Gethemane and rolled on, accumulating flood, until all earth and heaven could bathe in it. Zechariab called it the “fountain open for sin and un cleanness.” William Cowper called it the “fonntain filled with blood.” Your fathers and mothers washed all their sins and sorrowj away in that fountain. Oh, my hearers, dc you not to-day feel like wading into it? Wade down now into this glorious flood, deeper, deeper, deeper. Plunge once, twice, thrice, four times, five times, six times, seven times. It will take as much as that to cure your soul. Oh, wash, wash, wash and be clean. I suppose that was a great time at Dam as cus when General Naaman got back. The charioteers did not have to drive slowly any longer, lest they jolt the invalid; but as the horses dashed through the streets of Damas cus. I think the people rushed out to bail back their chief tan. Naaman’s wife hardly recognized her husband; he was so wonder fully changed she had to look at him two or three times before she made out that it was her restored husband. And the little captive maid, she rushed out, clapping her hands and shouting: “Did he cure you? Did he cure vour’ Then music woke up the palace and the tapestry of the windows was drawn away, that the multitude outside might min ?;le with the princely mirth inside, and the eet went up and down in the dance and all the streets cf Damascus that night echoed and re-echoed with the news: “Naaman’s cured! Naaman’s cured!” . Bat a gladder time than that it would be in all this place or wherever this ssrmon shall be read, if the soul should get cured of its leprosy. The swiftest white horses hitched to the King's chariot would rush the news into the eternal city. Our loved ones before the throne would welcome the glad tidings. Your children on earth with more emotion than the little Hebrew captive would notice the change in your looks and the change in your manner, and would put their arms around your neck and say: “Mother, I guess vou must have become a Christian. Father, • think you have got rid of the leprosy.” Oh, Lord God of Elisha, have mercy on us! Mesmerism in a Lion Cage. A frightful scene has taken place at Dijon. A mesmerist, M. Torcy, accom panied by his subject, a cataleptic young person named Mademoiselle Lucia, en tered a cage of lions in Signor Salva’s menagerie. The animals seemed at first quite stupefied on eeoing strange persons before them, but they soon began to show their molar broadsides and to pre pare for action. M. Torcy lost no time, and having sent Mademoiselle Lucia into a magnetic trance, he told her to fix her gaze on the beasts and to place her arms before them, which she did with perfect impunity. She was then plunged into a cataleptic fit, her body was stiffened and her feet and legs fastened to two stools. The animals goaded by the keepers and by vigorous thrusts from M. Torcy’s sticks, were made to jump several times over the young lady’s body. This inhu man exercise was continued until the au dience, wrought up to the highest pitch of terror and excitement, owing to the ominous growling of the infuriated lions, cried out: “Enoughl” The three ac tors in this extraordinary scene were loudly acclaimed by the spectators: but it is to be hoped, in the interests of civ ilization, that the authorities at Dijon will speedily put a stop to any repetition of the degrading spectacle, which was more worthy of An assembly of Cherokee Indians than of the inhabitants of a large and prosperous French cit j.—London Globe.

Tar consists of two distinct kinds— tree and mineral. The first is made from the pine and fir trees, by burning the wood in a confined manner, so that tho wood is charred into coal and its resinous properties, acid vapor and smoke from the smouldering wood, combining into a dark viscid liquid, or tar, about the consistency of heavy mo lasses. The manufacture and uses of tree tar were as well known to the an cient Greeks as to the people of the eighteenth century, and there really is no material difference in the process of making between then and now. The process of manufacture is as follows: They select a spot ou a side hill, into which they dig a hole four or five feet square, leading from which is a spout or trough. Over this they build a pyramid of resinous wood to the height of eight or ten feet, covering the entire pile with turf or dirt, leaving a small aperture at the top for the escape of steam and sur plus smoke. The slow, confined heat forces the resinous properties from the wood down into the pit beDeath, where it becomes a conglomerate mass of the resinous properties, acid and smoke of the wood. The Carolines and Georgia produce more tar than all the rest of our States. Pitch is tar boiled down to a dense mass, and used hot to smear the bottoms and sides of vessels, to make them water-tight. It is also used for sealing the interior of beer and ale kegs. It is considerably used for medical pur poses. Coal or rainoral tar is obtained from the distillation of bituminous caol (soft coal) and peat, and was first dis covered by an English chemist in 1779. It has a penetrating, nasty odor. Peat consists of foots and fibres that have been continually saturated with water for ages (known as peat bog). Peat when dried is much used &9 a fuel, espe cially in Ireland. Large quantities of coal tar results from the burning of bitu minous coal in retorts while making gas, and is also obtained in large quantitiei from tho refining of petroleum. Cos! tar is considerably used for painting iroi surfaces that are exposed, and roofs. If has also been found to contain very val uable chemical properties, among whick are the aniline dyes, which are the most brillant of all in use.
