REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SERMON Text: "ill thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory pal aces.”— Psalms xlv., 8. y Among the grand adornments of the city of Paris is the Church of Notre Dame, with its great towers, and elaborated rose windows. and sculpturing of the last judg ment, with the trumpeting ange's aftd rising dead; its battlemonts of quarterfoil; its sacristy, with ribbed* ceiling and statues of saints. But there was nothing in all that building which more vividly appealed to my plain republican tastes, than the costly vestments which laid iu oaken presses, robes that had been embroidered with gold, and .been worn by popes and archbishops on great occasions. . There was a robe that had been worn by Pius VII. at the crowning of the first Napoleon. There was also a vest ment that had been worn at the baptism of Napoleon 1L As our guide opened the oaken presses and brought out these vestments of fabulous cost, and lifted them up, the fragrance of the pungent aro matics in which they had been preserved, filled the place with a sweetness that was al most oppressive. Nothing that had been done in stone more vividly impressed me than these thi figs that had been done in cloth, and em broidery.and perfume. But to-day 1 open the drawer of this text, and I look upon the kingly robes of Christ, and as I lift them, flashing with eternal jewels, the whole bouse is filled with the aroma of these garments, which “smell of ravrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces.” In my text the King steps forth. Hisrobes rustle and blaze as He advances. His pomp and power and glory overmaster the specta tor. More brilliant is He than Queen \ ashti, moving amid the Persian Princes; than Marie Antoinette on the day when Louis XVI. put upon her the necklace of eight hundred diamonds; than Anne Boleyn, the day when Henry VIII. welcomed her to his pa ace; all beauty and all pomp forgotten, while we stand in the presence of this im perial glorv. King of Zion, King of earth, King of Heaven,- King forever! His gar ments not worn out, not dust-bed raggled; but radiant, an 1 jeweled, and redolent It seems as if they must have been pressed a hundred years amid the flowers of heaven. The wardrobe from which they have been taken must have been sweet with clusters of camphire and frankincense, and all manner of precious wood. Do you not inhale the odors? Ay,ay. They “smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces.” Yoiir first curiosity is to know why the robes of Christ are odorous with inyrrh. This was a bright-leafed Abyssinian plant It was tnfoliated. The Greeks, Egpytians, Homans and Jews bought and sokl it at a high price. The first present that was ever given to Christ was a sprig of myrrh, thrown on his infantile bed in-Bethlehem, and the last gift that Christ ever had was myrrh pressed into the cup of his crucifixion. The natives would take a stone and bruise the tree, and then it would exude a gum that would ■ saturate all the ground beneath. This gum was used for purposes of merchandise. One piece of it. no larger than a chestuut, would whelm a whole room with odors. It was put in closets, in chests, in drawers, in rooms, and its perfume adhered almost intermin ably to anything that was anywhere near it. Ho when in my text 1 read that Christ’s garments smell of myrrh, I immediately conclude the exquisite sweetness of Jesus. I know- that to many He is only like any his torical person; another John Howard; another philanthropic Oberlin; another Con fucius; a grand subject for a painting; a heroic theme for a poem; a beautiful form for a statue; but to those who have heatd His voice, and felt His pardon, and re ceived His benediction, He is music, and light, and warmth, and thrill, and eternal fragrance. Sweet as a friend slickiug to you when all else betray. Lifting you up while others try to push you down. Not so much like morning-glories, that bloom only when the sun is coming up, nor like “four clocks.” that bloom only when the sun is going down, but like myrrh, perpetually aromatic—the same morning, noon and night -—yesterday, to-day, forever. It seems as if we cannot wear Him out. We put on Him all our burdens, and afflict Him with all our griefs, and set Him foremost in all our battles, and yet He is ready to lift, and to sympathize, and to help. We have so im posed upon Him that one would think in eternal affront He would quit our soul; and yet to-day He addresses us with the same tenderness, dawns upon us with the same smile, pities us with the same compassion. There is no name like His for us. It is more imperial than Cigar’s, more musical than more conquering than Charlemagne's, more eloquent than Cicero’s. It throbs with ail life. It weeps with all pathos. It groans with ail pain. It stoops with all condescension. It breathes with all perfume. Who like Jesus to set a broken bone, to pity a homeless orphan, to nurse a sick roan, to take a prodigal back without any scolding, to illumine a cemetery all plowed with graves, to make a Queen unto God out of the lost woman of the street, to catch the tears of human sorrow in a lachrymatory that shall never be broken? Who has such an eye to see our need, such a lip to kiss away our sorrow, such a hand to snatch us out of the fire, such a foot to trample oar enemies,such a heart to embrace all our necessities? 1 struggle for some metapl pr with which to express Him. He is not li’A the bursting forth of a full or rnestrA: that is too loud. He is not like the sea when lashed to ra?e by the tempest that is too boisterous. He Is not like* the mountain, its brow wreathed with the lightnings; that is too solitary. Uivfe us a softer type, a gentler comparison. We have seemed to see Him with our eyes, and to hear Him with our ears, and to touch Him with our hands. Oh, that to-day He might appear to some other one of our five senses! Ay. the nostril shall discover His presence. He comes upon us like spioe gales from lieaven. Yea, His garments smell of pungent, lasting and all pervasive myrrh. Oh, that you all knew His sweetness. How soon you would turn from your novels. If the philosopher leaped out of his tiath in a frenzy of joy and clapped his hands, and rushed through the streets, because he had found the solution of a mathematical problem, bow will you feel leaping from the fountain of a Saviour’s mercy and pardon, washed, clean, and made white as snow, when the question has been solved: “How can my soul be saved?” Naked, frost bitten, storm-lashed soul, let Jesus this hour throw around thee the “garments that smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces.” Your SMxmd curiosity is to know why the robes of Jews are odorous w ith aloes. There is some difference of opinion about where these aloes grow, what is ttie color of the flower, what is the particular appearance of the herb. Buttice it for you and me to know that aloes mean hitterneas the world over, and when Christ comes with garments bearing that particular odor, they suggest u> me tbe bitterness of a .Saviour’s sufferings. . Were there ever such nights as Jesus lived through—nights on tbe mountains, nights on tbe Best, nights in the desert? Who ever had such a hard reception as Jesus bad? A hos telry the first, an unjust trial in oyer and terminer another, a foul mouthed, yelling mob the la*. Was there a space on His beck as wide as your two fingers where He was not whipped? Was there a space on His brow an inch square where He was not cot of the briers? When tbe spike struck at the instep, did it not go clear through to the hollow at the foot? rib. long, deep, bitter nihrrimage. Aluor Aiuw! John leaned his heal o.» Christ, but who did Christ lean on? f ive tfiousand men fed by the Hevkmr; who fed Jesus? Tbe sym pathy of a Bav.ours heart going out to toe leper and the adulteress; but who southed Christ? Denied iioth cradle and death bed. He had a fit piece neither to tw bora nor to die A poor babel A poor lad! A poor young man! Not so much as a taper to cheer his dying hours. Even the candle of the sun snuffed out. Oh, was it not all aloes? All our sins, sorrows, be reavements, losses, and all the agonies of earth aud hell picked up as in one clus ter and squeezed into one cuf>, and that pressed to His lips, until the acrid, nauseating, bitter draught was swallowed with a distorted countenance, and a shudder from head to foot, and a gurgling strangula tion. Aloes 1 Aloes! Nothing but aloes. All this for Himself? All this to get the fame in the world of being a martyr? All this in the spirit of stubbornness, because he did not like C esar? Nol no! All this because He wanted to pluck you and me from hell. Because He wanted to raise you and me to Heaven. Because we were lost and He wanted us found. Because we wore blind and He wanted us to see. Because we were serfs and He wanted us manumitted. Oh, ye in whose cup of life the saccharine has pre dominated; ob. ye who have had bright and sparkling beverages, how do yon feel toward Him who in your stead, and to purchase your disenthral Intent, took the aloes, tbe un savory aloes, the bitter aloes? Your third curiosity is to know why these garments of Christ are odorous with cassia. This was a plant that grew iu India and the adjoining islands. You do not care to hear what kind of a flower it had or what kind of a stalk. It is enough for mu to tell you that it was used medicinally. In that land and in that ago. where they knew but little about pharmacy, cassia was used to arrest many forms of disease. bk> when in my text we*find Christ coming with garments that smelt of cassia, it suggests to me the healing and curative power of the Bon of God. “Ob, - ’ you say,“now you have asuperiluous idea. VVe are not sicx. Why do we want cassia? We are athletic. Our respiration is perfect Our limbs are lithe, and in these cool days we feel we could bound like the roe.” I beg to differ, my brother, from you. None of you can be better in physical health than I am, and yet I must say we are all sick. 1 have taken the diagnosis of your case, and have ex amined all the best authorities on the sub ject. and 1 have come now to tell you that you are full of wounds and Iruises and putrefying sores which have not been bound up, or‘mollified with ointment. The maras mus of sin is on us—the palsy, the dropsy, the leprosy. The man that is expiring to-night on Fulton street—the allopathic and homoeo pathic doctors having given him up, and his friends, now standing around to take his last words— is no more certainly dying as to his body than you and I are dying unless we have taken tbe medicine from God’s apothe cary. All the leaves of this Bible are only so many prescriptions from the Di vine Physician, written,' not in Latin,like the prescriptions of earthly physicians, but writ ten in plain English, so that a man, though a fool, need not err therein. Thank God that the Saviour’s garments smell of cassia. Suppose a man were sick, and there was a phial on his mantel piece with medicine ho knew would cure him, and lie refused to take it, what would you say of him? Ho is a suicide. And what do you say of that man who. sick in sin, has the healing medicine of God’s grace offered bun, and refuses to take it? Ir he dies he is a suicide. People talk as though God took a man and led him out to darkn -ss and death, as though He brought him up to the cliffs and then pushed him off. Oh, no. When a man is lost it is not because God pushes him off; it is because he jumps off. In olden times a suicide was buried at the cross roads, and the peo ple were aeeustorael to throw stones upon nis grave. Bo it seems to me there may lie in this house a man who is destroying his own soul, and as though the angels of God were here to bury him at the point where the roads of life and death cross each other, throwing upon the grave the broken law and a yreat pile of misimproved privileges, so that those going may look at the fearful mound, and learn what a suicide it is when an immortal soul, for which Jesus died, puts itself out of the way. When Christ trod this planet with Jfoot of flesh, the people rushed after Him—people who were sick, and those who, being so sick they could not walk, were brought by their friends. Here I see a mother holding*up her little child and saying: “Cure this croup, Lord Jesus. Cure this scarlet fever.” Aud others saying: “Cure this ophthalmia. Give ease aud rest to this spinal distress. Straighten this club-foot.” Christ made every house where He stopped a dispensary. Ido not Itelieve that in the nineteen centuries that have gone by since His heart has got hard. 1 feel ibat we can come now with all our wounds of soul and get His benediction. O Jesus, here we are. We want healing. Wo want sight. We want health. We want life. The whole need not a physician, but they that ore sick. Blessed be God that Jesus Christ comes through this assemblage now. His “garments smelling of myrrh”—that means iragranee— “and aloes”—they mean bitter sacrificial memories—“and cassia”—that means medicine and cure; and according to my text, Ho comes “out of the ivory pa 1.1063.” You know, or if you do not know 1 will tell you now, that some of the palaces of olden time were adorned with ivory. Ahab and Bolomon had their homes fur nished with it. The tusks of African and Asiatic elephants were twisted into all man ners of shapes, and there were stairs of ivory, and chairs of ivory, and tables of ivory, and floors of ivory, and pilin's of ivory, and windows of ivory, and fountains that dropped into liasins of ivory, and rooms that bad ceilings of ivory. Oh, white aud overmastering beauty. Green tree brandies sweeping the white curbs. Tapestry trailing the snowy floors. Brackets of light flashing on the lustrous surroundings. Silvery music rippling to the beach of the arches. The mere thought of it almost stuns my brain, and vou say: “Oh, if I could only have walked over such floors! If I could have thrown myself in such a chair! If 1 could have heard the drip aud dash of those fountains!” You shall have something better than that if you only let Christ introduce yon. From that place He came, and to that place He proposes to transport you, for His “garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of tbe ivory palaces.” Oh. wbat a place heaven must be! The Tuileries of tbo French, the Windsor Castle of the English, tho Hpanish Alhambra, the Russian Kremlin are dungeons compared with it! Not so many castles on e.tber side the Rhine as on both sides of the river of God tho ivory palace*! One for the angels, insuffer ably bright, winged, fire-eyed, tempest charioted; one for the martyrs, with blood red roles, from under the altar: one for the King, the steps of His palace the crowns of the church militant; one for tbe singers, who lead the one hundred and forty and four thousand; one for you ransomed from sin; one for mo, plucked from the burning. Oh, tbe ivory palaces! To-day it seems to me as if the windows of those palaces were illumined for some great victory, and I look and see climbing the stairs of ivory, and walking on floors of ivory, and looking from tue windows of Ivorv, some whom we knew and loved on earth. Yes. I know them. There are father and mother, not eighty-two years an 1 seven ty nine years, as when they left m, but blithe and young as when on their marriage day. Ami there are brothers and sisters, mer rier than when we used to romp across the meadows together. Tbe cough gone. The can cer cured. Tbe erysipelas ImaJml. The heart break over. Oh, how fair they are in the ivory I nieces! Ami your dear little children that went out from yon—Christ did not let one of them drop as He lifted them. He did not wrench one of them from you. No. They went as from one they loved well to One whom tbev love ! batter. If 1 should take your little child and pteui its soft face against my rough cheek. I might keep it a little while: but when you. the mother, came along, it would etruzgle to go with vou. And so you stood holding your dying child whett Jesus passed by in the room, ami tlte litter one sprang out to greet Him. That fas all. Your Christian dead did not go down inur tbe dust ami the gravel and tbs ;nud. Though it reined all tha:. funeral day, on I the water came up to the wheel’s hub as yon droveaut to the*cemetery, t made no difference to the*u, lor they stepped from the home here to the home there, r ght iufco the Ivory palaces. All i» w*?M with them. Ail is well. it is not a dead weight that you Uft when you carry a Christian out Jesus makes the bed up soft with velvet promises, and He says: “Put her down here very gently. Put that head, which will never acne again,; on this pillow of hallelujahs. Bend up word 1 that the procession is coming. King the tells. Ring! Open your gates, ye ivory palacesP And so your loved ones are there. They are just as certainly there, having died in Christ, as that you are here. There is only one thing more they want. Indeed, there is one thing in heaven they have not got They want it What is it? Your company. But, oh, my brother, unless you change your tack you cannot reach that harbor. You might as well take the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, expecting in that direction to reach Toronto, as to go on in the way some of you are going and yet expect to reach the ivory palace>. Your loved ones are looking out of the windows of Heaven now, and yet you seem to turn your back upon them. You do not seem to know the sound of their voices as well as you used to, or to be moved by the sight of their dear faces. Call louder, ye de parted ones. Call louder from the ivory palaces. When I think of that place, and think of my entering it, I feel awkward; I feel as sometimes when I have been exposed to the weather, and my shoes have been be mired.aud my coat is so led. and my hair is dis heveled, and I stop in .front of some fine resi dence where I have an errand. I feel not fit to go in an I am ami sit among polished guests. Bo some of us feel about heav en. We need to be washed—we need to be rehabilitated before we go into the ivory palaces. Eternal God. let the surges of Thy pardoning mercy roll over ps. I want not only to wash ,my hands nn l my feet, but, like some skilled diver, standing on the pier-head, who leaps into the waves and comes up at a far-distant point from where ho went in. so I want to go down an cl so I want to come up. O Jesus, wash mo iu the waves of Thy salvation. And here I ask you to solve a mystery that has been oppressing me for thirty years. *1 have asked it of doctors of divinity who have been studying theology half a century, and they have given me no satisfactory answer. I have turned over all the books in my library, but got no solution to the question, aud to-day I come and ask you for an explanation. By what logic was Christ induced to exchange the ivory na’aces of heaven for the crucifixion agonies of earth? I shall take the first thousand million years in heaven to study out that problem. Meanwhile and now, taking it as the tender est and mightiest of all fads that Christ did come, that He came with the spikes in His feet, came with thorn* in His brow, came with spjars in Uisheart.to save you and to save m*. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Bon, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” O Christ, whelm this audience with Thy compassion. Mow them down like summer grain with the harvesting sickle of Thy grace. Ride I hrough to-day tho conqueror, Thy garments smelling “of myrrh, ana aloes, aud cassia, out of the ivory palaces.” O, sinner, fling everything else away and take Christ! Take Ilim now, not to-morrow. During the night following this very day there may be an excitement in your dwelling, and a tremulous pouring out of drops from an unsteady and affrighted hand, and before to-morrow morning your chance may be gone.

The tops of pine and spruce trees are now utilized in the manufacture of paper. The discovery is of immense value, as it makes marketable a vast mass of whut has hitherto been waste material. The discovery and utilization of natu ral gas have proved a powerful stimulus to the manufacture of iron pipes and tubes in this country; there are now 2300 miles of mains in the United States for conveying natural gas. A novel electric railway has been com pleted, running from the shore of Luke Lucerne, Switzerland, over a bed cut in the solid rock to the summit of the Burgcnstock, 1330 feet up. It has a gradient of from 32 to .»* per cent. The electricity is generated by a water-wheel in the River Aar.

Ayer’s Almanac, which has been an annual and welcome visitor since 1852, comes to us this year as a handsomely bound volume containing copies not only of various editions in English, but also in nine foreign lan guages, with specimen pages of pamphlets in eleven other tongues, thus making the book the most comprehensive polyglot we have ever seen. While the primary design of the almanac is to advertise Dr. Ayer’s Standard Medicines —Sarsaparilla, Cherry Pectoral, Pills, Hair Vigor, and Ague Cure —it com mends itself to every reader by reason of the fullness end accuracy of its astronomical an l other valuable information as well as by its funny items which show that jokes can lie spicy without being vulgar.
