DAY SERMON.
Subject: “Cheer For the Disheart
ened.” (Preached at Kan
sas City, Mo.)
Text: “No man cared for my soul”—
Psalms cxlii., 4.
David, the rubicund lad, had become the
battle worn warrior. Three thousand armed
men in pursuit of him, he had hidden in the ;
cave of Engedi, near the coast of the Dead j
Sea. Utterly fagged out with the pursuit, as |
you have often been worn out with the trials ■
of life, he sat down and cried out: “No man
cared tor my soul.”
* If you should fall through a hatchway, or
slip from a scaffolding, or drop through a
skylight, there would be hundreds of people*
who would come around and pick up your ;
body and carry it to your home or to the [
hospital. I saw a great crowd of people in
the street, and I asked: What is the matter 1* \
and I found out that a poor laboring man had
fallen under sunstroke; and all our eyes were i
filled with tears at the thought of his dis
tracted wife and his desolate home.
We 9 re all sympathetic with physical disas
ter, but how littlo sympathy for spiritual
woes! There are men in this house who have
come to mid-life who have never yet been onco
personally accosted about their eternal wel
fare. A great sermon dropped into an andi
ence of hundreds of thousands will do its work;
but if this world is ever to be brought to God
it will be through littlo sermons preached to
private Christians, to an audience of one.
The sisters letter postmarked at the
village—the word uttered in your
heaving, half of smiles and half of tears—the
religious postcript to a business letter—the
card left at the dopr when you had some kind
of trouble—the anxious look of some one
across a church aisle while an earnest sermon
was being preached, swung you into the King
dom of God. But there are hundreds of peo-
Sle in this house who will take the word that
•avid used in the past tense, and employ it !
in the present tense, and cry out: “No man i
cares for my soul.”
You feel os you go out day by day in the I
tug and jostle of life that it is every man for |
himself. You can endure the pressure of i
commercial affairs, and would consider it al j
most impertinent for any one to ask you j
whether you are making or losing money.
But there have been times when you would !
have drawn your check for thousands of dol- i
tars if some would only help your soul out of
its perplexities. There are questions about !
your higher destiny that ache, and distract, I
and agonize you at times. Let no one sup- I
pose that because you are busy all day with j
hardware, or drygoods, or groceries, or grain, j
that your thoughts are no longer than your
yard stick, and stop at the brass headed nails
of the storo counter. When you speak once
about religious things you think 5,000 times.
They '-all you a worldling. You are not, n
worldling. Os course you are industrious
and keep busy, but you "have had your eyes
opened to the realities of the next, world.
You are not a fool. You know better
than any one can toll. You know that a
few years at most will wind up your earthly
engagements, and that, you will take resi
dence in a distant sphere where all your
business adroitness would be a superfluity.
You sometimes think till your hpad aches
about great religious subject/;. You go down
the street with your eyes fixed on the pave
ment. oblivious of the passing multitudes, i
your thoughts gone on eternal expedition. I
You wonder if the Bible is true, how much of I
it is literal and how much is figurative law, |
if Christ be God, if there is anything like ret- I
ribution, if you are immortal, if a resur
rection will ever take place, what, the occupa
tion of your departed kindred is. what, you
wilJ be 10,000 years from now. With a cult
ured placidity of countenance you are on
fire with agitations of soul. Oh. this solitary
anxiety of your whole lifetime! You have
sold goods to or bought them from Christian
people for ten years, and they have never I
whispered one word of spiritual counsel. You
have passed up and down the aisles of
churches with men who knew that you had
no hope of heaven, and talked about the
weather and about your physical health, and
about everything but that concerning which
you most wanted to hear them speak, viz.,
vour everlasting spirit. Times without num
ber you have felt in your heart, if you have
not uttered it with your lips: “No man cares
for my soul.” J
There have been times when you were espe
cially pliable on the great subject of re
ligion. It was so, for instance, after you had
lost your property. You had a great many
letters blowing you up for being mifortunate.
You showed that there had been a concatena
tion of circumstances and that your inso!
vency was no fault of yours. Your creditors
talked to you as though thev would have 100
cents ou the dollar orjrour life Protest after
protest tumbled in on your desk. Men who
used to take your hand with both of theirs
and shake it violently, now pass you on the
street with an almost imperceptible nod. Af
ter six or eight hours of scalding business
anxiety you go home and you shut the door,
and throw yourself on the sofa and you feel
in a state of despair. You wish that some
one would come in and break up the gloom.
Everything seems to be against you—the
bank against you. Your creditors against
you. Your friends suddenly becomo criti
cal against you. All the past against you.
All the future against you. You make re
proachful outcry: “No man cares for mv
BOUI 1” J
There was another occasion when all the
doors of your heart swung open for sacred
influences. A bright light went out in your
household. Within three or four davs there
were compressed sickness, death, obseqirtes.
Vou were so lonely that 100 people coming
into the house did not break up the solitari
ness. You were almost killed with the
domestic calamity. A few formal, perfunc
tory words of consolation were uttered on the
stairs before you went to the grave; but you
wanted some one to come and talk over the
whole matter, and recite the alleviations, and
decipher the lessons of the dark bereavement.
No one came. Many a time you could not,
sleep until 2 or 3 o'clock in tbemorning. and
then your sleep was a troubled dream, in
which were re-enacted all the scene of sickness,
and parting, and dissolution. Oh, what days
and nights they were! No man seemed to
cure for your soul.
There was another occasion when your
heart wAs very susceptible. There was a great
awakening. There were hundreds of people
who pressed into the kingdom of God: some
of them acquaintances, some business assori
ntes, yes, perhaps, some members of your own
family were baptised by sprinkling or immer- I
sion. Christian people thought of you, and
they called at your store, but you were out on
business. They stopped at, your house; you
had gone around to spend the evening. They
sent a kindly message to you: somehow |
bv accident, you did not get it. The lifeboat
of tne Gospel swept through the surf and
everybody seemed to get in but you. Every
thing seemed to escape you. One touch of
personal sympathy would have pushed you
into the kingdom of God. When on commun
ion day your friends went in, and your sons
and daughters went into the church, you
buried your face in your handkerchief and
sobbed: “Whyam I left out? Everybody
seems to get saved but me. No man cares for
my soul.”
Hearken to a revelation I have to make. It
ts a startling statement. It will so surprise
you that I must, prove it a* Igo on. Instead
of this total indifference all about you in re
gard to your wail, I have to tell you that
heaven, earth and hell are afler vour immor
tal spirit- earth to cheat it, hell to de*troy it,
heaven to redeem it Although you may tie •
» stranger to the Christians in this house,
their fa'-e* would glow and their hearts would
bound if thev saw you make one step heaveu
ward. Ho intricate and far ranching in this »
wet* of sympathy that I could by one won]
rouse a great many prayers in your behatr.
No one cares for your sopl! Why, one signal
of distress on your part would thrill this audi
ence with holy excitement. If a boat in unv
harbor should get in distress, from the men of
war, and from the sloops, and from the
steamers the flying paddles would pull to the
re&cua. And if now you would lift one signal
of distress these voyagers of eternity 1
would bear down toward you and bring you
relief. But no! you are like a ship on Are
at sea. They keep the hatches down,
and the Captain is frenzied, and he
gives orders that no one hail the passing
• snips. He says: “I shall either land this ves
sel in Hamburg or on the bottom of the ocean,
and I don’t care which.” Yonder is a
ship of the White Star line passing. Yonder
one of the National line. Yonder one of the
Inman line. But they know not there is any
calamity happening on that one vessel. Oh!
it the captain would only put his trumpet to
his lip, and cry out: “Lower your boats 1
Bear down this way! We are burning upl
Fire! Fire!” No. No. No signal is given.
If that vessel perishes, having hailed no one,
whose fault will it be? Will it be the fault of
1 the ship that hid its calamity, or will it be
! the fault of the vessels that, passing on the
high seas, would have been glad to furnish re-
I lief if it had been only asked i In other words,
my brother, if you miss heaven it will be
your own fault.
ISo one cares for your soul! Why, in all the
ages there have been men whose entire busi
; ness was soul saving. In this work Munson
, went down under the knives of the cannibals
| whom he had come to save, and Robert Mc-
I Cheyne preached himself to death by thirty
years of age, and John Bunyan was thrown
into a dungeon in Bedfordshire, and Jehudi
Ashman endured all the malarias of the Afri
can jungle; and there are hundreds and thou
sands of Christian men and women now who
are praying, toiling, preaching, living, dying,
to save souls.
No one cores for your soul! Have you heard
how Christ feels about it? I know it was
only five or six miles from Bethlehem to
i Calvary, the birthplace and the deathplace
of Christ; but who can tell how many miles
it was from the throne to the manger? How
many miles down, how many miles back
again? The place of his departure was the
focus of all splendor ana pomp; all the
thrones facing his throne; his name the chorus
in every song and the inscription on every
banner; his landing place a cattle pen, mal
odorous with unwashed brutes, and dogs
growling in and out of the stable. Born
of a weary mother who had journeyed
eighty miles in severe unhealth that she
might find the right place for the Lord’s na
tivity—born, not as other princes, under the
. flash of a chandelier, but under a lantern
| swung by a rope to the roof of the bam. In
| that place Christ started to save you. Your
name, your face, your time, your etemitv,
!in Christ's mind Sometimes traveling on
I mule’s back to escape old Herod’s massacre,
j sometimes attempting nervois sleep on the
j chilly hillside, sometimes earning bis break-
J fast by the carpentry of a plow. In Quaran
j tania the stones of the field, by their shape
and color, looking like the loaves of bread,
! tantalizing his hunger. Yet all the time
| keeping on after you. With drenched coat
I treading the surf at Genessaret. Howled after
|by n bloodthirsty mob. Denounced as a
drunkard. Mourning over a doomed city,
' while others shouted at the sight of the shim
mering towers. All the time coming on and
coming on to save you. Indicted as being a
traitor against government, perjured wit
nesses swearing their souls away to insure
his butchery. Flogged, spit on. slapped in
Iho face and then hoisted on rough lumber,
in sight of earth and heaven and hell to
purchase your eternal emancipation. From
the first, infant step to the last step of man
hood on the sharp spiko of Calvary a journey
for you. Oh! how he cared for your soul!
By dolorous arithmetic add up the stable, the
wintry tempest, the midnight dampness, the
abstinence of forty days from food, the brutal
Sanhedrim, the heights of Golgotha, across
which all the hatreds of earth and all the
i furies of hell charged with their bayonets, and
I then dare to say again that no one cares for
your soul.
A young man might, as well go off from
| homy and give his father and mother no inti
mation as to where he has gone, and, cross
ing the seas, sitting down in some foreign
country, cold, sick and hungry and lonely,
saving: “My father and mother don't care
anything about, me.” Do not rare anything
about him! Why, that father's hair has
t iimed gray since his son went. off. He has
written to all the consuls in the foreign ports,
j asking about that son. Does not the mother
care anything about him ? He has broken her
heart. She has never smiled since he went
away. All day long, and almost all night,
she keeps asking: ‘ ‘Where is he ? Where can
he be?' He is tne first thought in her prayer
and the last thought in her praver, the first
thought in the morning and the last, at night.
She says: “Oh, God, bring back my boy! I
must see him again before I die. Where is
he' I must see him again before l die. “Oh.
j do not his father and mother care for him?
You go away from your Heavenly Father,
and you think he does not care for you
because you will not even read the letters" by
which he invites you to come back, while
all heaven is waiting, and waiting, and wait
ing for you to return. A young man said to
his father: “I am going off; I will write to
you at the end of 6even years and tell you
where I am.” Many years have passed along
since that son went away, and for years the
father has been going to the depot
in the village, on the arrival of every
train, and when he hears the whistle in the
distance he is thrilled with excitement, and
he waits until all the passengers have come
out, and then lie waits until the train has
gone clear out of sight agaiu, and then he
goes home, hastening back to the next train;
and he will be at every train until that son
comes back, unless the son waits until the
father l>e dead. But oh, the greater patience
*of God! Ho has besn waiting for you, not
seven years, not nine years, but for some of
you, twenty years, thirty years, forty T ears,
fifty years—waiting, calling—waiting, calling
until nothing but omnipotent patience could
have endured it. Oh, my brother, do not take
the sentiment of my text as your sentiment.
We do care for your soul. One Sabbath
night, years ago, in my church in Brook
lyn. a young man appeared at the end of the
platform and he said to me: “I have just come
off the sea.” I said: “)Vhen did you arrive?’
Said he: “I came into port this afternoon. I
was in a great‘blow-off Cape Hatteras this
last week, and I thought that I might as
well go to heaven as to hell. I
thought the ship would sink; but, sir,
I never very seriously thought about
my soul until to-night.” I said to him: “Do
you feel that Christ is ablo and willing to
you?” “Oh, yes,” he replied, “I do.”
“Well,” I said, “now are you willing to come
and be saved by Him?’ “I am,” he said.
“Well, will you now, in the prayer we are
al>out to offer, give yourself to God for time
and eternity?’ “I will,” he said. Then we
knelt in prayer, and after we had got
through praying, he told mo that the great
transformation had taken place. I could not
doubt, it. He is on the sea now. I do not
know what other port he may gain or lose,
but I think he will gain the harbor of heaven,
j Star of peace, beam o’er the billow.

They have heard in heaven already of

and has rung out from the towers: “A soul

A young man, at the close of a religions
service, was asked to decide the matter of his
soul’s salvation. He said: “I will not do it
to-night.” Well, the Christian man kept
talking with him, and he said: “1 insist that
to-night you either take God or reject Him."
“Wofl,” said the young nun, “if you put it
that way, I will reject Him. There, now, the
matter’! settled.” On hl» wav home on horse
back he knew not that a tree had fallen aslant
the road, and he was going at full speed, and
he struck the obstacle and dropped lifeless.
That night his Christian mother heard
the riderless horse plunging about the
bam, and, mistrusting something terrible
was the matter, she went out and came to the
place where her son lay, and she cried out:
“Oh, Henry! dead and not a Christian. Oh.
my son! ray son! dead and not a Christian.
On, Henry! Henry! dead and not a Chris
tian.” God keep us from such a catastrophe.
About Diamonds.
Among all the ancients the diamond
was held as an amulet possessing wonder
ful power and immense intrinsic value.
There are three forms in which the
diamond is cut, the brilliant, the rose,
and the table. The shape of the stone
in many cases is regulated by its form
in the rough. The brilliant is the most
valuable, the rose second, and the table
last.
The only American diamond of con
siderable size, and well vouched for,
was found by a man named Benjamin
Moore, a laborer, in the employ of Mr.
James Fisher, Jr., at Manchester, near
Richmond, Va., in the month of April,
1855. Its weight was 27.7 carats.
The old writers mention imitation of
diamonds by subjecting the sapphire,
amethyst, topaz, or chrysolite to lire, by
which the color was extracted and the
brilliancy kept. It is a common error
that the diamond will glisten in the
dark. No more light emanates from it
than from any other stone.
The principal diamond mines are the
districts of the East Indies, extending
from Cape Comorin to Bengal, and the
Brazilian localities. They are found in
the Ural, Russia, and upon the western
coast of Africa. Diamonds have been
found in Georgia recently and in Wiscon
sin, so it is said. In the year 1728 dia
monds were found in Brazil, at Tejuco,
on the Rio Han Francisco.
In 1791 a diamond of 138 carats was
found, on the Rio dc Abaite, by three
criminals who had escaped from Rio
Janeiro. Knowing it to be a diamond,
but not having any chance of disposing
of it, they consulted a priest, who ad
vised them to throw themselves upon the
mercy of the Emperor and present their
jewel. They did so and were pardoned,
his majesty pocketing the diamond.
It is only within two hundred years
that, any system in the valuation of dia
monds has been arrived at. In Europe,
until within the past hundred years, there
was no scale of value. The old manner
of valuation, thus: if a diamond of a
single carat was worth S4O, one of two
carats was worth slfio, one of three carats
S3OO, is exploded; as diamonds become
more plenty the quality determines the
value, that ranges from S2O to S3OO per
carat.
Much depends upon the taste and skill
of the lapidary in. producing finely cut,
clear stones. Having decided upon the
form he will cut the stone, he next makes
a model in lead, which model rests con
tinually before him as a guide to his
labors. Cutting is a work of great labor
and time. Os the relative value of the
cut and uncut diamond there can be no
positive certainty, though it is understood
that the finished stone is worth three
times the rough stone.
The diamond is colei to the touch and
cannot be looked through, as canallimi
tations. Before cut its coat is rough and
looks like greenish glass. Until the year
147fi the diamond was worn uncut.
Many stones, supposed to be the most
beautiful in the world, are in that state.
Holland for a long period held a monop
oly of diamond-cutting, England gradu
ally came in, and finally the United
States have turned out some very nice
work. New York and Chicago arc the
headquarters for diamond-cutting.
Mounting a Herd of Buffaloes.
Mr. Hornaday, the Government taxi
dermist, has a herd of queer-looking buf
faloes in his studio in the old armory
building devoted to the Fish Commission
in Washinton. They arc all the hulks or
insides on which the hides are to be
stretched. Mr. Hornaday does not use
the seklctons of the animals in mounting
them, but makes up wooden ones. The
whole herd, when none, w ill be mounted
in the National Museum, and the poor,
old moth-eaten effigies now on exhibition
will be burned. As soon as Mr. Horna
day finishes the bull buffalo, on which he
will take the greatest pains, it willl be
placed out in tne Smithsonian grounds,
where earth and background will resem
ble as much as possible the animal’s na
tive plains, and the taxidermist, rigged
up in cowboy hat, leggings, and hunting
shirt, mounted on his broncho, cinched
and loaded as he was in Montana, will go
through the pantomime of shooting the
old beast again. During the performance
several instantaneous photographs of the
f>iccc will be taken. This bull is the finest
mffalo Mr. Hornaday secured while out
on his official hunt. He was the last one
seen, and his captor rode up alongside
and had on opportunity to study the no
ble animal for several minutes before
shooting him. Mr. Hornaday even dis
mounted and sketched the old fellow.
This has been of great, advantage in
stuffing and mounting him.— Neir York

From the Artist who Took G. G. HoffmanN
Photograph.
llickort, N. C.
I send you to-day half dozen photographs of G.
G. Hoffman, of Conover, N. C., and I must pay that ;
your medicine has done wonders for Mr. Hoffman.
It seems like raising the dead to life; he looks fat
and hearty now, and they tell me when he com
menced your medicine he wis nothing but skin and
bones. The sore on his breast Ip healed over, and
you can see the ono on the forehead is healing np
from the top. I wish it had been so that I could
have taken it when he was at his worst, but I could
no? leave my office, and he lives pome distance from
h erc . Yours Respectfully,
A. Mclntosh.
This man, O. G. Hoffman, has risen by the use of
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) to bis present won
derfully improved condition. In a short time his
boneless forehead will be fully heale and he will
stand a monument of humanity raised from the
verge of death. Few persons ever recover from
such a low state, being on a dying bed from that
fell destroyer, blood poison, with the bones of his
forehead rotted and taken out, inches, by the
doctors, and given out to die. From skin and
bones, wrecked by blood poison, to health and
sound flesh, is the work of B. B. B.
Not many such desperate cases maybe found,
but when ibey are they should not despair of re
covcry, as B. B. B. will care them.
When this medicin%can cure such extreme cares,
is if no treasonable that it will cure all cases of
blood poison of less violence, as It has done In
thousands of Instances?
Tlie Mayor nnd Doctor* of Conover will
verify the awful condition from which Mr.
Hoffman was raised. B. B. Co.

FOR HORSES.
Uvilla, W. Va., )
Nov. 17, 1886.)
Recently I bought a
young horse. He was
ji taken very ill with Pneu
monia. I tried to think ■
j of something to relieve
1 him. Concluded what
ji was good for man would
5 be good for the horse.
| So I got a bottle of Piso’s
Cure and gave him half
of it through the nos- 1
i trils. This helped him,
and I continued giving
same doses night and
morning until I had
■i used two bottles. The
horse has become per
fectly sound. I can re
commend Piso’s Cure for
the horse as well as for
man.
