';.; Again, I find in this Oriental scene a lesson oi sympatny witn woman wnen she goes forth trudging in the desert. What a great change it was for this Hagar." There was the tent and all the surroundings of Abraham's nouse, Deautirui ana luxurious no doupc. Now she is going out" into the hot sands of the desert. O, what a change it was I And in our day we often see the wheel of fortune turn. Here is some one who lived in the very brurht nomo or her father. She had everything pos sible to administer to her happiness. Plenty at the table. Music in the . drawing room. Welcome at the door. She is led forth into life by some one who cannot appreciate her. A dissipated soul comes and takes her out in the .desert. Iniquities blot out all the 4 lights of that home circle. Harsh words wear out her spirits. The high hope that shone out over the marriage altar while the ring was being set and the vows given and the benediction pronounced, have all faded with the orange blossoms, and there she Is to-day, broken-hearted, thinking of past joy and present desolation and coming an guish. Hagar in the wilderness! " Here is a beautiful home.' Ton cannot think of anything that can be added to it. For years there has not been the suggestion of a single trouble. Bright and happy chil dren fill the house with laughter ana song. Books to read. Pictures to look at. Lounges to rest on. Cup of domestic joy full and running over. Dark night drops. , Pillow hot. -Pulses flutter. Eyes close. And the foot whose well known steps on the door sill brought the whole household out at eventide, crying: "Father's coming," will never sound on the door sill again. A long, deep grief plowed through all that lightness of domestic life. Paradisa tost I Widowhood ! Hagar In the wilderness! How often it is we see the weak arm of woman conscripted for this battle with the rough world. Who is she, going down the street in the early light of the morning, pale with exhausting work, not half slept out with the slumbers of last night, tragedies of suffering written all over her face, her luster less eyes looking far ahead as though for the coming of some other trouble? Her parents called her Mary, or Bertha, or Agnes on the day when they held her up to the font, and the Christian minister sprinkled on the infant's face the washings of a holy baptism. Her name is changed now. I hear it in the shuffle of the worn out shoes. I see it in the figure of the faded calico. I find it in the lineaments of the woe begone countenance. Not Mary, nor Bertha, nor Agnes, but Hagar in the wilderness. . May God have mercy upon woman in her toils, her struggles, her hardships, her desolation, and may tho great heart oi Divine sympathy Inclose her forever. . Again: I find in this Oriental sfionolhafact that every mother leads forth tremendous destinies. You say: "That isn't an unusual scene, a mother leading her child ' by the hand." Who is it that she is leading? Ishmael, you say. Who is Ishmael? A great nation is to be founded; a nation so strong that it is .to stand for thousands of years against all the armies of the world. Egypt wid Assyria thunder against it., but to vain. Gaulus brings up His army, and his army is smitten. Alex ander decides upon a campaign, brings up his hosts and dies. For a long while that nation monopolizes the learningof the world. It is the nation of the Arabs. Who founded it? Ish mael, the lad that Hagar led intothe wilder ness. She had no idea she was leading forth rach destinies. Neither does any mother. You pass along the street, and see pass boys Mid girls who will yet make the earth quake with, their influence. Who is that boy at Sutton Pool, Plymouth, England, barefooted, wading down into the slush and slime, until his baro foot comes upon a piece of glass and he lifts it, bleeding and imnstruck? That wound in the foot decides that ho ba sedentary in his life, decides that he bo a student. That wound by the glass in the foot decides that hi tli nil 1, Tt. 1T1I. .X.- a-J-' the beit religious encyclopediayJj2 has iver had providJsjfituhiB other writ- i i&hrowing a light upon the ' sucn as nas come from bo other 2Ii in this century. O mother, mother. that little hand that wanders over your face may yet be lifted .to hurl thunderbolts of war, or drop benedictions. That little voice may blaspheme God hi the grog shop, or cry: ''Forward!" to the Lord's hosts, as they go out for their last victory. My mind to-day leaps thirty years ahead, and I see a merchant prince of New York. One stroke of his pen brings a ship out of Canton. An other stroke of his pen brings a ship into Madras. . He is mighty in all tne money mar kets of the world. Who is he? He sits to day beside you in the Tabernacle. My mind ieaps thirty years forward from this time, and 1 find myself in a relief as sociation. A great multitude of Chris tian women have met together for a generous purpose. There is one woman in that crowd who seems to have the confidence of all the others, and they all look up to her for her counsel and for her prayers. Who is- she ? To-day you will find her in the Sabbath-school, while the teacher tells her of that Christ who clothed the naked and fed the hungry and healed the- sick. My mind leaps forward thirty years from now, and I find myself in an African jungle; and there is a missionary of the cross ad dressing the natives, and their dusky countenances are Irradiated with the glad tidings of great joy and salvation. Who is he ? Did you not near his voice to-day in the I first song of the service ? My mind leaps for ward thirty years from now, and I find my self looking through the wickets of a prison. I see a face scarred with every crime. His chin on his open palm, his elbow on his knee a picture of despair. As I opened the wick et ho starts, and 1 hear his chain clank. The jail keeper tells me that he has been in there now three times. First for theft, then for arson, now for murder. He 6icx3 upen the trap door, tho ropo is fastened to Ins neclt, the plan!: falls, his body swings into the air, his soul swings of? into eternity. Who is he, and where is he? To-day playing kite on the city commons. Mother, you are to-day hoisting a throne or forging a chain you are kindling a star or digging a dungeon. A good many years ago a Christian mother sat teaching lessons of religion to her child; and he drank in those lessons. She never knew that Lamphior would come forth and establish the Fulton street prayer meeting, and by, one meeting revolutionize the de votions of the wholo earth, and thrill the eternities with Lis Christian influence. Lamphier said it was his .mother who brought ; him to Jesus Christ. She never had an idea that she was leading forth such destinies. . But O, when I see a mother reckless of her influence, rattling on toward destruction, garlanded for the sacri fice with unseemly mirth and godlessness, gayly tripping on down to ruin, taking her children in the same direction, I cannot help but say: ."There they go, there they go Hagar and Ishmael r I tell yoa there are wilder deserts than Boersheba in many of the domestic circles of .. this f day, Dissi-f pated parents leading dissipated children Avaricious parents leading avaricious chil dren. Praverless parents loading prayerless children. They go through every street, up every dark alley, into every cellar, aloiifr every highway. Hagar and Ishmael! and whils I pronounce their names, it seems like tho meaning of the death wind Hagar and Ij'-inael! - - I 1 learn ono more lesson If mm this Oriental scene, and that is, 4hat every Ishmael gave up to dio. Ili.gar's heart sank within her as she heard her child crying: "Water I water t water ! "Ah." she says "my darling, there is no water. This is a desert." And then God's angel said from the cloud: "W hat aileth thee, Hagar?" fcnd she locked tip and saw him pointing to a well of wacr, whore she filled the bottlo for the lad. UlesSfxl be God that there is in every rwilderness a well, if you only know how to find it fount ains for all these thirsty souls to-day.' "OA that lost day, on that srreat day of the feast.' Jesuu stood and cried: "If any man thirst.1 ie nun 'como w jue ana drink." All these other fountains yku -find are , ' mere ' mirages of . the des ert, Paracelsus, you know, spent his, time in trying to find out the elixir of life a liquid which if, taken,' would keep one perpetually young in this world, and would change the aged back, again to youth. Of course, he was disappointed; he found not the elixir. But here I tell you to-day of the elixir of everlasting life bursting from the . "llock of Ages," and that drinking that wate.' you shall never get old, and vou will never oe sicx, and you will never die. "Ho, every one that tlursteth, come ye to the waters." i Ah, there is a man who says: "I have been looking for that fountain a great while, but can't find it." - And hero is Mine one else who says: "I believe all you say, but I have been trudging along in "the wilderness and can't find the fountain." Do you know the reason? I will tell you. You never looked in the right direction.' VO," you say, "I . have .looked everywhere. I have looked north, south, east and west, and I havent found the fountain." Why.youarenot looking in the right direction at all. Look up, where Hagar looked, ; She never would have found the fountain at all, but when she iu&rd the voice of Jhe angel she locked up, and she saw the finger pointing to the supply. And O, soul, if to-day, with one earnest, in tense prayer you would only look up , to, Christ, He would point you down to the buo ply in the wilderness. ' "Look unto Mo all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved; for I am God, and there is none else." Look ! look ! as Hagar looked. Yes, there is a well for every desert of be reavement. Looking over the audience to day, I notice signs of mourning.' Have you found consolation ? O man bereft, O woman bereft, have yon found consolation ? Hearse after hearse. We step from one grave hillock to another grave hillock. We follow corpses, ourselves soon be like them. The world Is in mourning for its dead. Every heart has Decome - the sepulcher of some buried joy. But sing ye to God, every wilderness has a well in it; and I come to that well to-day, and I begin to draw water from that well. - If you have lived in the country, you have sometimes taken hold of the rope of the old well sweep, and you Know now tne oucKet came up dripping with bright, cool water. And l lay hold of the rope oi God s mercy to-day, and 1 begin to draw on' that gospel well sweep, and I see the , buckets coming up. Thirsty soul! here is one bucket of life! come and drink of it: " Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." I pull away again at the rope, and another bucket comes up. It is this prom ise: " Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh m the morning.'' I lay hold of the rope again, and I pull away with all my strength, and the bucket comes up brigM', and beautiful and cool. Here i3 the promise: ? Come unto Me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The old ' astrologers used to cheat the people with the idea that they could tell from the position of the stars what would occur in the future, and if a cluster of stars stood in one relation, that would be a prophecy of evil; if a cluster of stars stood in another relation, that would be a prophecy of good. What superstition! But here is r, new . astrology in , which I put all my faith. By looking up to the Star of Jacob, the morning star of the Redeemer, I can moke this prophecy in regard to those who put their trust in God: "All things work together for good to those who love God." I read it out on the sky. I read it out in tho Bible. I read It out in all things: "All things work together - for good to those who love God." Do you love Him? Have you seen the' Nyetanthes? It is a beautiful Bower, but it gives v?ry little fragrance until after sunset. Then it : pours its richness on the air. And this grace of the Gospel that , I commend to you this day, while it may be very sweet during the day of prosperity,- it pours forth its richest aroma at ter gun down, and It will be sun down with you and me alter a while. . a . . a u !ii you come w go out oi uus wunu, "iUfyhe a desert march or wiU iaoulrtatafor your .

Then they called in a heathen priest, and he said: "If you will only recite the Numtra it will deliver y-u." He waved his hand as much as to say: "I don't want to hear that." Then they said: "Call on , Juggernaut." Ho shook his 1 head as much as to say: " I can't do that." rhen they thought perhaps he was too weary to speak, and they said : "Now, if you can't say 'Juggernaut,' think of that God." He shook his head again, as much as to say: "No, no, no." They then bent down to his pillow, and they said: "In what will you trust?" His face lighted up with the very glories of the celestial sphere as he cried out, rallying all his dying energies: "Jesus." O come to-day to the fountain the fountain open for 6in and uncleanness. I will tell you the whole story in two or three sentences. Pardon for all sin. Comfort for all trouble. Light for all darkness. And every wilder ness has a well in it. . Wtlmam Youmanp, of Delhi, N. Y., thinks his cat can charm fish. One clay he caught the cat eating a trout, but was at a loss to see how the feline had cap tured it. This eet liim to watching the cats. In a day or two he traced one of the cats to the pond and, hiding behind a tree, saw the cat approach the edge of the water and hx its gaze intently upon some object. Alter remaining in tnat position some little time, some strange noise near by frightened the cat away. Mr. loumans rushed to the spot ana found a good sized trout apparently dis abled "within a few inches of where the cat was crouched. He touched it with his cane, when the fish acted as though it had been mesmerized. It shortly came out of its dazed condition ana swam slowly off to the centre of the pond. His theory is that the oat mes merized the fish by looking it in the avo - MARKETS. DAtTiMOUE Flour City Mills, extra,t4.0& a$5.05: Wheat Southern Fulfei, HTm$7: Corn Southern White, ?

A Circus Horse's Broken Hoa'rt The emotional life of the horse is re markable. There are instances on record where the death of the horse has been traced directly to grief. Ono instance is called to mind which occurred more than twenty years ago., A circus had been performing in the little town of Union ville, Penn., when one of trained horses sprained one of his legs so that he could ho travel. He was taken to the hotel and put in a box stall. The leg was bandaged and he was made as comfortable as possi ble. He ate his food and was apparently contented until about midnight when tho arcus began moving out of town. Then he became restless and tramped and whined. As the caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he waa being deserted, and his anxiety and dis tress became pitiful. He would stand with his ears pricked in an ' attitude oi intense listening, and then as his ears caught the sounds of the retiring wagons he would rush as best he could with hi injured leg, from one side of the stall to the other, pushing at the door with his nose and making, every effort to escape. The stableman, who was a stranger tc Jiim, tried to soothe, him, but to no pur pose. He would not be comforted. Long after all sounds of the circus had ceased his agitation continued. The sweat poured from him m streams and he quiverea in BajtoOisbodyfinally the stable- man went to the housed wokeuSTffkP10' urietor and told him he believed the hoS! would die if some of the circus horses were not brought back to keep him cdm pany. At about daylight the proprietoi mounted a horse and rode after the cir cus. He overtook it ten or twelve milet away, and the groom who had charge oi the injured horse returned .with him. When they reached the stable the horse was dead. The stableman said that he remained for nearly an hour perfectly still , and - with every ' sense apparently strained to the utmost tension, and then, without making a sign, fell and died with scarcely a struggle.

For tweve years he has stood by the entrance to the dining, room at the Grand Union Hotel where thousands eat. He is noted for his memory. He can ; tell the , name . of every man, woman and child who enters the saloon, where each one comes ; from,' and just who owns each hat. "Has my fathei come in yet!" "Has Miss so-and-so come out!" "Will the Smiths be here by 4:30 this afternoon !" 4 'Have you seen mj little boy?" are but a few specimens oJ the questions put to him daily by the thousands. . ; After the season at the seashore closes Warrick presides over the; information, telegraph, postal and registered letter de partment at Wanamaker'g. He is a man of means, and like hi3 brother William, who is one of Philadelphia's leading col ored men, occupies a high position. Few men are better known or more ' respected than the Warricks.
