The brigands of Jerasalem had don their
work. It was aimost sundown, and Jesus
was dying. Persons in cruci fiction often lin
gered on from day to day crying, begging,
turning; but Christ bad been exhausted by
years of maltreatment Pillowless, poorly fed
flogged as b?nt over and tied to a low post
His t are back was inflamed with the scourges
tntersticed with pieces of lead and bone
snd now for whole hours, the w.ight
of his body hunz on delicate

a violent stroke under the armpits had been

nauseated, reverish a world cZ agony is
compresHeii in the two words: "1 thiist!"
O skies of J udei, let a drop of rain strike on
His burning tonuo. O world, with rolling
rivers, and sparkling lakes, and spraying
fountains, give Jesus something to drink. If
thtre be any pity in earth, or heaven, or hell,
let it now be demonstrated in behalf of
this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of
Jerusalem ued to have a fund of money with
which they provide I wine for thosi people
who died in crucifixion a powerful opiate
to deaden tin pain; but Christ would not
take it He wanted to die sober, and so lie
refused the wine. But afterward they go to
a cup of vinegar and soak a spongo in it, and
put it on a stick of hyssop, and then press it
against the hot lips of Christ You say
the wine was an anaesthetic, and intended
to relieve or deaden the pain. But the vine
gar was an insult. I am disposed to adopt
the theory of the old EnglLsn commentator,
who lieiieved tnat instead of its being an
opiate i o soothe, it was vinegar to insult
Malaga and Burgundy for grand dukes and
duchessies, and cosily winos from royal vats
for bloated imperials; but stinging acids for
a dying Christ. He took the vinf gar.

resilient. But in a great many cases there
are not so many sugars as aci Is.
The annoyances, and the vexations,
and the dh-appointmtnts of life
overpower the successes. There. i3 a
gravel in almost every shoe. An Arabian
legend says tjiat there was a worm in Solo
mon's staff, gnawing its strength away; and
there is a weak spot in every earthly support
that a man leans on. King George, of Eng
land, forgot all the grandeurs of his throne
because, one day in an interview, Beau Hum
onell called him by his first name,
and addressed him as a servant,
crying: "Gtorge, ring the bell!"
Miss Iangdon, honored all the worll
over for her poetic genius, is so worried over
the evil reports get afloat regarding her,
that she is found dead, w.th an empty Lottie
of prussic acid in her h md. Goldsmith taid
that his life was a wretc hed being, and that
all Ihit want and contempt could bring to it
had been brought, and cries out: "What,
Ihen, is there1 formidable in a jail?" Correg
gio"s fine painting is hung up for a tavern
sign. Hogarth cannot s 11 his best paintings
except i hrough a rarlle. ; Andrew Delsart
makes the great frescoe in the Church of the
Annuneiata, at Florence, and gets for pay a
sack of corn ; and there are annoyances and
vexations in high places as well as 4n low
places, showing that in a great many lives
the sours are greater tha'i the sweets. "When
Jesus therefore had received the vinegar."
It is ahsurdto suppose that a man who has
always been well can sympathize with thoe
who are sick; or that one who has always
been honored can -apj rebate the sorrow of
those who are despised; or that one who has
been born to a goat fortune can understand
the d stress-and the straits of those who are
destitute. The fact that Christ Himself,
took the vinegar, makes Him able to sym
pathize to-day and forever with all those
whose cup is tilled with sharp acids of this
life. He took the vinegar.
In the first place, there is the sourness of
betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt
Christ's feelings more than all the friendship3
of His disciples did Him good. You have
had many friends; but there was one friend
upon whom jou put especial stress. You
feasted him. You loaned him money. You
befriended him in the dark passes of life, when
he especially needed a frbn i. Afterward he
turned upon you, and he took advantage of
your former intimacies. He wrote against
you. He talked against you. ' He microsco
pized your faults. He flung contempt at you
-n you ought to have received nothing but
iitude. At first, you could not sleep at
ingiita Then you went about with a sense of
having been stung. That difficulty will
never be healed, for though mutual friends
mav arbitrate in the matter until you shall
lhake hands, the o'd cordiality will never
come back. Now, 1 commend to all such the
"sympathy of a bttrayed Christ Whv, they
sold Him for less than our twenty dollars!
They a 1 forsook Him, and fled. They cut
Him to the quick. He drank that cup of be
trayal to the dregs. He took the vinegar.
There is also the sourness of pain. There
are some of you who have not seen a well
day for many years. By keeping out of
draughts, and by carefully studying dietetics,
you continue to this time; but, O, the hea i-
rhes, and the sideacbes, and the backaches,
ad the heartaches wh'ch have been your
vccompauiment all the way through! You

There is also the sourness of poverty, i our

that always gives an honest man anxiety.
There is no sign of destitution about you

Well, brother, you are in gloriooi company.
Christ owned not the bouse in which he
stopped, or the colt oa which He rode, or C
boat in which he sailed. He lived in a
borrowed house: He was buried in a bor
rowed giave. Exposed to all kinds of
weather, yet He had only one suit of clothes.
He breakfasted in the morning, and no one

The kin? of the earth had chased chalices
out of which to drink; but Christ had noth

was very sharp, and it was very sour. He

There also is the sourness of bereavement
There were years that passed along before
your family circle was invaded by death,
but the moment the charmed circle was
broken, everything seemed to dissolve. Hazi
ly have you put tha black apparel in th
wardrole, before you have again to take it
out Great and . rapid changes In youi
family ; record. - You got the I house
and 2 rejoiced In It .but the charm
was gone as soon as the crape hung on the
door-belL The one upon whom you most de
pendei was taken away from you. A cole
marble slab lies on your heart to-day. Once,
as the children romped through the house,
you put your hand over your aching hea l,
and said: "Oh. if I could only have it stilL"
wju nun now, xou lose youi
patience when the tops, and the str nps, and
the shells were left amid floor; but oh, you
would be willing to have th9 trinkets scat
tered ail over the floor a train, if they were
scattered by the same hands With what a
ruthless ploughshare bereavement rips up tho
heart But Jesus knows all about that. You
cannot tell him anything new in regard
to bereavement, lie had only a few friends,
and when He lost one it brought tears to His
eyes. Lazarus had often entertained Him at
his house. Now Lazarus is dead and buried,
and Christ breaks down with emotion the
convulsion of grief shuddering through all
the ages of bereavement. Christ knows what
it is to go throughlthe house missing a familial
inmate. Christ knows what it ts to see an
unoccupied place at the tables. Were there
not four of tbem Mary and Martha, and
Christ and Lazarus? Lonely and afflicted
Christ, His great loving, eyes filled with
tears, which drop from eye to cheek, and
from cheek to beard, and from beard to
robe, and from robe to floor. Oh, yes, yes,
He knows all about the loneliness and the
heartbreak. He took the vinegir !
Then there is tho sourness of the death
hour. Whatever else we may escape, that
acid-sponge will ba pressed to our lips. I
sometimes bave a curiosity to know how I
will iehave when I coma to die. Whether I
will be calm or es.cite.1 whether I will be
filled with reminis.-ence orianticipition. I
cannot say. But -come to the po nt. I
mnt and you must In th3 six thouand
years that have passed, on'y two persons have
fot into the eternal world without death, and
do not suppose that God is going to send a
carriage for us with horses of flame, to draw
us up the steeps of heaven; but 1 suppose we
wiil have to go like the preceding genera
tions. An officer from the future world
will knock at the door of our heart and
serve on us the writ of ejectment, and we
will have to surrender. J And we will wake
up after thesa autumnal, and wintry, and
verpal, and summery glories have vanished
from onr vision we will wake up. into a
realm which has only one season, and
that the season of everlasting love.
But you say: "I don't want to break
out from my present associations. It is
so chilly and so damp to go down
the stairs of that vault I don't want any
thing drawn so tightly over my eyes. If
there were only some way of breaking
through the partition between worlds with
out tearing this body all to shreds. I
wonder if the surgeons and the doctors can
not compound a mixture by which this body
and soul can all the time be kept to
gether? Is there no escape from
this separation?" None; absolutely
none. So I look over this audience to-day
the vast majority of you seeming in good
health and spirits and yet I realise that in a
short time all of us will bo gone gone from
earth, and gone for ever. A great many men
tumble through the gates of the future, as it
were, and we do not -know where
they have gone, and they only add
gloom and mystery to the passage;
but Jesus Christ so mightily stormed
the gates of that future world,that they have
never since been closely shut Christ knows
what it is to leave this world, of the beauty
of which He was more appreciative than we
ever could be. - He knows the exquisiteness
of the phosphoresence of the sea: He trod it
He knows the glories of the midnight heav
ens: for they were the spangled canopy of
His wilderness pillpw. He knows about
the lilies. Ho twisted them into His sermon.
He knows about the fowls of the air; they
whirred their way through his discourse.
He knows about the sorrows of leaving this
beautiful world. Not a taper was kindled in
the darkness. He died physicianless. He
died in cold sweat, and dizziness, and hemor
rhage, and agony that have put Him in sym
pathy with all the dying. He goes through
Christendom, and He gathers up the stings
out of all the death pillows, and He puts
them under bis own neck and head. He
gathers on His own tongue the burning
thirsts of many generations. The sponge is
soaked in the sorrows of all those who per
ished in icy or fiery martyrdom. W hde
heaven was pitying, and earth was mocking,
and hell was deriding. He took tho vinegar!
To all those in this audience to whom life
has been an acerbity a dose thoy could not
swallow, a draught that set their teeth on
edge and a rasping I preach the omnipo
tent sympathy of Jesus Christ. The sister
of Herschel, " the astronomer, use! to
help him in his work. He got all the
credit; she got none. She used to
spend much of her time polistr'ng the
telescopes through which he brought
the distant worlds nigh, and it is my am
bition now, this hour, to ciear the lens ot
your spiritual vision, so that looking through
the dark night of your earthly troubles you
may behold the' glorious constellation of a
Saviour's mercy and a Saviour's love. O, my
friends, do not try to carry all your ills
alona. Do not put your poor shoulder under
the Apennines when the Almighty Christ is
ready to lift up all your burdens. When you
have a burden of any kind, you rush this
way and that way; and you wonder what
this man will say about it and what that
man will say about it; and yoa try this pre-
iCTlptloa, ant that pre-xrription, and the
Dth-jr prescription. O, why do you not go
straight to the heart of Christ, knowing that
for our own sinning an l suffering race, He
toj't tie vinegar.

Of it.
The centre is a fine oval portrait of Secre-,
tary Manning. On either side of the portrait"
are figures representing labor and prosperity.
Labor, oa the right of the portrait, is repre
sented by a brawny workman with a hammer
in his hands. Prosperity is represented by
a female form in repose, surrounded by the
abundant products of the earth. The word
"silver" apiejrs above the portrait and
."certificate" below it, both in plain, open
face letters.
In the upper left hand corner are the
usual words setting forth the character of
the certificate in Roman letters of an ornate
and angular typ. In the upper right band
corner is a lathe counter bearing the figures
"20." The border is engraved in the form
of a reed, with the words "silver dollars"
and the figures 4 '20" worked in at regular
intervals.
The certificate, like most of those recently
issued, has the space for the number in
diagonally opposite corners, so that which
ever, way the note is torn the number is
almost certain to be left on either pieca.
The back of the certificate Has a sort of
octagon arrangement encircled by a geomet
ripnl lathe border. The background is of
cycloidal ruling and the figures "20" app3ar
in a circle in each corner. There is a special
plate in the middle of the lower edge bearing
the words "Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, Washington. D. C."

justa3 the 925 operatives were coming to
work. About one hundred girls on the top
floors had already arrived, and just after the
shock they becam ?panicstricken, and -would
have jumped from the windows had not the
foremen prevented them. Firemen and
others rushed to the boiler house, and amid
the roar of escaping steam searched the de
bris for the killed and wounded. Hiram
S II, the engineer, was caught by the crank
of tha engine and pinned down. His left leg
was horribli crushed, and had to be ampu
tated before he could be released. He died

The Final Ruling n the Anarchist
Case Turned Against Railway
Officials.
, Judge Gray's rulings of law in the case of
the condemned anarchists, which sent tbem
to the gallows, was turned to-day by Judge
Kirk Hawes against several officials of the
wealthiest corporations in the country at
Chicago. The' offence in the case was at
tempted jury bribmg, and the main offe der
Sumner C Welcb,claim agent of the Chicago
City Railway, is sentenced to a term behind
prison bars, wbich C. B. Holmes, president
of the company, and C M. Hardy, the com
pany's attorney, are recommended to be
dealt with by the Grand Jury.
Judge Hawes holds that the conspiracy
rulings in the anarchist case apply as well to
any other conspirators. In rendering his
decision he sent Welch to jail for six months,
and held thit it was not necessary that
Holmes or Hardy should have done any
positive, or affirmative act, or be present
when it was done, if thy in anyway aided
or abetted, and that if they did so aid or
abet, they were as guilty as the actual crim
inal. Tbe question as to whether Holm
and Hardy actually did abet he left to tbe
Grand Jury, recommending that body to in
vestigate their case.
The citation of anarchist rulings by
Judge Hawes are volaainoiu, refering mer
era! times directly to the case "Spies et aL
vs. tbe people.
The attempted bribery was in an insignifi
cant little damage suit against the company,
Welch approaching one of the juror named
Rosenthal daring a court recces and endeav
oring to retain by money his avrrkvee in the"
interest of the company. Rosenthal indig
nantly refused, voted for the highest verdict
against tbe corporation and afterward ex
posed tha business to the attorneys for
tbe plaintiff. Judge Hawes in bis decision
icJr thankel Kosentbxl on behalf
tha community. . Tbe - sentence of
elch is only for his contempt of Court
he with Hardy and Holmes are liable if
their guilt is formally established before a
jury io. the regular "way to a long- term at
bard labor in tbe Penitentiary. -
