"I any, Ally, my business with Curtis baa

child? You know Jack dislikes It!"
Cecily came timidly to his tidt, her cauraso
forsaking her.
Tora looksd roupd, and saw, Instead of
pretty pfd'ff Bhape, a stately form, with a
graceful drooped head; then ho tprang for
saying :
"Cecily!, Is it possible: Why are yon
!"
He drew her Into the dim light of the win
aud scanned her shy face as ho spoke;
she UDllfted all the witching light of luir
pleading eyes to his, and said softly :
"Oh, Tom, can you forgive me ? 1 have
wronged you cruelly."
Then followed the dreary details of her Jeal
Dilns and her wearv life without him. As
he listened to the pleading yolce the Ico
seemed to melt from about hia heart, and
claping her to him he said : "Oh, my darling,
the mistake was almost past retrieving. Why
are women so foolishly suspicious ? You two
Jealous women have almost wrecked the lives
that loved you. But this must be a danger

a foe to love; perfeot love should be built

"I will never mistrust you again, lorn
dear."
"Don't say never, pet, rather promise that,
if yon should be tempted to repeat this experi
ence, you will corns to your husband houestly
and tell him your trouble"
Cecily promised with her beautiful arms en
circled about her lover's neck.
Jack was met half an hour later by his lit
tle wife, who when she gave him a kiss of
greeting, said:
Don't go iuto the library, Jack; remember
how we used to hate being caught tpooulng
in the dark. Tom's sweetheart and ho are
making It up. I must say they linger oyer It
at thonch they find It a pleasant business,"
"May their making up be aa pleasant as ours,
pet, aud the lesson us lasting."

moment I feel the thrill of Jenny LuiU s
song in Castle Garden in tho days of
iny'boyho d. To-day let us look on
the landscape which John describes.
As the great ancient orators used to
rouse tho people to enthusiasm by the
ono word 'Marathon' so I would to-day
stir your deepest aud highest emotions
with that itnnartial word 'Heaven.'
My text seems to describe a holiday
celebration in heaven, John says.
'After this I beheld, and lo, a great
multitude, which no man could . num
ber, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, aud tongtieB, stood before the
throne and before the Lamb, clothed
with white robes and with palms in
their bauds, and cried with a loud
voice, saying, Salvation to our God
which sitteth on tho throne, and unto
the Lamb.'
"If any man who saw New York
wnen Kossuth arrived had como to the
conclusion that that day with its tri
umphal arches, its flowers, its boom-in"-
truus. showed tho ordinary condi
tionof tho city, he would have keen
vol v foolish. I have no idea that the
chief normlation of heaven comes from
this world. An ingenious writer has
estimated that there will be twenty
seven trillions of souls thore. I have
no faith in the estimate, and would
rather take the plain statement of my
text, a great multitude which no one
could number.'
, Take all the cohorts of Senaeherih,
of Citosar, of Alexander, and Napiih'on;
mount a swift steed ami ride along the
line aud review the troops of the great
host, and they will seem like a half
formed regiment compared with the
armies ot redemption. All nationali
ties will be there. These gathered the
tamarind. These crossed the deserts
on camels. These shot through the
snow, drawn bv Siberian doss. These
walked thiouslrtho Spanish Iiiquisilin
These wero conlincd in Loudon Tower.
These fousrht with wild boasts in the
amphitheatre.
What shall he tho dress of the glo
rified ? Surely that God wlie dressed
the clouds with ribbons of blue, who
hung the trees with dia nond dewdrops,
who (lung tho crimson mantle over the
shoulders of nature, and slippered
with fields of green grass the feet of
tho spring moruing docs not despise
ornate apparel. Aly text savs tlu-v
Nhall bo clad in white. No use there
for work-day apparel. No Abraham
mourning lor Sarah. JNo Isaao mourn
ing im- jncoii. io uavnl mourning
or Absalom. An JUary mourninir lor
Jjtiarus.
"What symbols shall they carry?
.Not cypress lor that would denote
sorrow; not myrtle tor that mur u
mean sin; not wei'iyinjr willow, for
that would mean mourning; tint palms.
I ne text says with palms in their
bauds. In old tunes, wheu conquer
ors returned home, the people built
triumphal arches for them and went
forth to meet them with branches of
tin' palm tree, which they waved as
the symbol of victory.
Dr. Dick declared that the inhabi
tants of heaven will spend some time
in the slinly of arithmetic and high
branches ol mathematics, hut there
is no charm in such a thought to mo.
I prefer the text which says ii. shall bo
i . . . i r. t.
an eternal psaimouy, ciyuig witu n
loud voife, 'Salvation unto the Lord
God and unto tho Lamb.' Take hood
for your ears, for it will be a song
loud" and stupendous. They will ing
a rock song, and the chorus shall be
Clrist the shadow of a great rock.'
They shall sing a star nong, and the
chorus shall be of the coming of Christ,
the morning star of the world's dark
ness. Thoy will hing a (lower Bong,
ami the chorus shall he of Christ, tht
lillvofthe valley, blooming through
frost and tempest. They shall sing a
water song and the chorus shall bo
'Christ, the fountain in the midst of
the wilderness. There will be joy in
the sky, and are we to-day rehearsing
for it? If we lose heaven it will be
in the, same way that Louis Phillippe
lost his kingdom. The palace was be
sieved and the General said lo Louis
Phillippe: "Shall I tiro?' 'No, not
yet," was tho reply. Hut when the
soldiers began to fraternize with the
citizens ami it was found that the
palace was about to he surrendered,
Louis Phillippe s ii'l- !' but the
General said : No; it is too late."

ELOQUENCEJF BASCOM
Tho following passages will serve
aa ' t
to illustrate tho peculiar oratorical
stylo of the lamented Rev. Henry B.
Bascom, tho distinguished Kentucky
Methodist preacher :
"Chemistry, with its fire-toiignes
of the galvanic battery, teaches that
the stairy diamond iu tin crown of
kings, and tho black carbou which
the peasant treads beneath his feet,
are both composed of the same iden
tical elements. Analysis also proves
that a chief ingredient it limestone is
carbon. Then let tho burning breath
of God pass over all the limestone of
the earth, and bid its mossy layers
crystallize into new beauty, and lo !
at the Almighty fiat, the lustre that
renders midnight noon, and eclipse all
the stars."
Tho great orator urged the same
view by another example still better
adapted to popular apprehension.
'Look yonder ! said the impassion
ed orator, pointing a motionless linger
towards the loft, ceiling, as if it were
the sky. "See that wrathful thunder
cloud the hery bod ot lightnings and
hissing hail the era lie of tempests
and floods. What can be more dark,
nico'o dreary, moro dreadful? Say,
sc ifling skeptic, is it capable of any
beauty? You pronounce. "No!"
Well, very well ! But, behold ! while
the sneering denial curls upon your
proud lins. tho sun. with its sword ot
lighl, shines through tho sea of va
pors in the est, and laughs in your
inf.reditloiis laeu with Ins line golden
eye. No v, look again tit the thun
der cloud. See where il, was blackest
and fullest of gloom. The sunbeams
have kissed its hideous cheek, and
where tin! kiss tell, there is now

agoxi Jersey City pension 1 iwycr took the case
of a widow who wanted about .',000 back pay,
and the papers went to Washington to bo hid

called to nk about the case, and regularly ev

At his last visit the oilier day, the lawyer re
