HEY- DR. TALHAGE. riii-j bhookijYN mviNirs hvx DAY SEKMON. Subject: "The Martyrs of PverycTay fjifc." (I'reached at Ijakeside. O.) Text: Thou, therefore, endure hardness. II. Timothy, ii.t 3. . Historian are not slow to acknowledge the merita i of great military chieftains. We have the full length poi traits of the Cromwell, the VV ashingtons, the Napoleons and the Well ingtons of the world. History is not written in black ink, but with red ink of human blood. The gods ot human ambition do not' drink from bowls made out of silver, or go!d, or precious stones,- but out of the bleached skulls of the falien. Hut I am now to uuroil before you a scroll of heroes that the world has never acknowledged; those who' faced no guns, blew no bugle blast, "conquered no critics, chained no captives to their chariot wheels, and yet, in the gn at day of eternity, will stand higher than those whose names startled the nations; and seraph, and rapt spirit, ; and archangel will tell their deed3 to a listening universe. I mean the heroes of common, e very-day life. , In this ro'l in the first p'ae, I find a'l the heroes of the sick room. When Satan had failed to overcome Job, he said to God: "Put forth thy hand and touch his tones and his llesh, and he will curse tbee to tby face " fr'atan had found out what we have found out, that sickness is the greatest test of one's character. A man who can staml that can stand anything. To be shut in a room as fast as though it were a bastile; to be so nervous you cannot endure the tap of a child's foot; to have luxuriant fruit, which tempts the appetite of the robust and healthy, excite our loathing and disgust when it. first appears on the platter; to have I he rapier i f pain strike through the fci le, or across the temples, like a razor, or to rut the foot into a vice, or throw the whole body into a bla: of fever. Yet there have been men and women, but more women than men, who have cheerful ly endured this hardness. Through years of exhausting rheumatisms and ex cruciating neuralgias they have gone, anl through bodily distresses that rapel the nerves, and tore the muscles, and paled the chf eks, and stooped the shoulders. By the dim light of the sick-room taper they saw on their wa'l the picture of that land where the inhabitants are never sick. Through the dead f-ilence of the night they heard the chorus of the angels. The cancer ate away her lite from wtek to week and day to day, and she became weaker and weaker, and every "good night" was feebler than the "good night" before yet never pad. The children looked up into her face and 'saw suffering trans form d into a heavenly smile. Those who suffered on the battle-field, amid shot and shell, were not so much heroes and heroines as those who in tho tield hospital and iin the asylum had fevers which no ice could cool and no surgery cure. No shout of a comrade to cheer them, but numbness, and aching, and homesickness yet willing to (suffer, confident in God, hopeful - of heaven. Heroes of rheumatism. Heroes of neuralgia. Heroes of spinal complaint Heroes of sick headache. Heroes of lifelong invalidism. , Ileroos end ' heroines. They shall reign forever and ever. Hark I I catch just one note of the eternal anthtm: "There shall be no more pain." Bliss God for that. In this roll I also find the heroes of toil, who do their work uncomplainingly. It is compar atively easy to lead a regiment into battle when you know that the whole Jrition will applaud the victory; it is comparatively easy to doctor the sick when you know that your skill will be appreciated by a large company' oi irienas ami relatives; it is comparatively easy to address an audienre when, in the gleaming eyes ami the Hushed cheeks, you know that your sentiments are adopted; but to do sewing where you expect that 1 the mployer will come and thrust his thumb through the work to show how imperfect it is, or to have the whole gar ment i thrown back on you to be done over again; to build a wall and know there will be no one to say you did it well, but only a swearing employer howling acros? scaffold; to work until your eyes are dim and your back laches, and your heart faints, and to know that if you stop before night your children will starve. .Ah! the sword has not slain so many as the needle. The great battle-fields of our last war were not Gettysburg and Shiloh and South Moun tain; The great batt'e-fields of th j last war were in the arsenals, and in the shops and in the attics, w here women mide army jackets for a sixpence. They toiled ou until they died. They had no funeral eulogium, but, in the name of my God, this day, 1 enroll their names among those of whom the wor'd was not worthy. Heroes of the need'e. Heroes of the sewing machine. Heroes of the attic. Heroes of the cellar. Heroes and heroines. Bless God for them. In this roll I also find the heroes who have uncomplainingly endured domestic injus tices. There are men who for their toil and anxiety have no sympathy in their homes. Exhausting application to business gets them a livelihoo 1, but an unfrtigal wife scatters it. He" is fretted at from the moment he en ters the door until he comes out of it. The exasperations of business life augmented by the exasperations of domestic life. Buoh men are laughed at, but they have a heart breaking trouble, and they would have long ago ', gone ' into appalling dissipations but for tho -grace of God. Society to-day . is strewn with the wrecks of men, who under the northeast storm of domestic infelicity have been driven on the rocks. 'I here are tensof thousands of drunk ards In thta country Hdy, made such by their wives. That is not poetry. That is prose. Uut the w.-on j it generally in the op Kvto direction. You would not havo to go far to find a wife whose life is ap?rpetuil martyrdom. Something heavier than a stroke of the fist; unkind word, stageriai home at midnight, and constant maltreat ment w hich have left her only a wreck of what s'w was on that day when in thi midst of a brilliant assemblage the vows were taken, and lull organ playei the we-Jdins march, and the carriage rolled ' away with the benedi tion iof the people. What was the burning of Latimer and Ridley at the stake compare 1 with this? Those men soon became uneonsc.ous in the fire, but here is a fifty years' martydom, a fifty years' putting to death, yet uncomplaining. No bitter words when the rollicking companions at2o'clx-k in the urrning pitch the husband dead drunk into the front entry. No bitter words when wiping from the swollen brow the h!ood struck I out in a midnight carousiL Bending over the battered and bruised form of him. who, when he took her from her father's home, promised love, nd kindnes, aud protection, yet nothing but sympathy, and prayers, and forgiveness before thev are asked for.

Heroes and heroines. - f ' -I And ao in this roll the heroes of Christian charity. We a!I admire the George Pea bo iys and the James Inoxes of the earth, who give tens and hundreds of thousands of dol ars to good objects. ; - ' v ; Bat 1 am speaking this -morning of thone who,; out of their pinched poverty help others of such men as those Christian mis sionaries at the West, who are living on $50 a year that they may proclaim Cbri,t to the people; ona of them, writing to the 8 jcretary in New York, saying:' "I thank 'yoa for that - , Until yesterday ; we have had no meat,, in our house for three months. We have suifered terribly. My children have no shoeftth'is winter. tAad of those people who have only a half loiaf oC bread, but give a piece of it to otlfers who' are hungrier; and of thos? who have only a scuttle of eoal, but help others to fuel and of those who have only a dollar jn ,their pocket, and give twenty-five cents to some- .body else; and of that father who- wears a shabby coat, and of that mother who wear3 a faded dress, that I heir children, may be well apparelled. You call them paupers, or ragamuffins, or emigrants. 1 call them heroes and heroines. ou and I may not kuo w where they live, or what their nam? is. God knows, and they have more angels hoverinjf over them than you and I have, and they will have a higher s at in heaven. " ... , They may have only a cup of . cold water to give a poor traveler, or may have only picked a splinter from under the nail of a child's finger, or have put only twd mites iiito the treasury, but the Lord knows thm. Considering what they had, they did more thau we have ever done, anl their faded dress will become a white robe, and the small room will be an eternal mansion, and the old hat will be a coronet of vic tory, and all the applause of earth and all the shouting of heaven will be drowned out when Goi rises up to give, his reward to those humble workers in his kingdom, and to say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant. " You have all seen or heard of the ruin of Melrose Abbey. I suppose in some respects it is the most exquisite ruin on earth. And yet, looking at it I was" not so impressed you may set it down to bad taste but. I was not so deeply stirred as 1 was at a tomb stone at the foot of that Abbey the tomb stone placed by Walter Scott over the grave of an old man wh had served him for agood nmiy ycai a in his bous. The inscription most significant, aud I defy any w.i tc statid there and real it without tea -is coming iu o h-s eyes. The epitaph: "Well doae, goo 1 aud faithful servant." Oh! when our work is over, will it ba found thtt baciuse of anything wo have dotje for Gdl, or the church, or sufferin humanity, that such an inscription i3 appropriate for us God grant it. , Who are tho-e who were bravest anl de served the greatest monument fjortl Clav er house and his buriy soldiers, or Jo'n Brown, the Edinburgh carrier, anl h;s wife? Mr. Atkins, the persecuted minister 'of Jesu Christ in Scotland, was secreted - by - John Brown and his wife, and Claverhduse- roi( up one day with his armed men and shout?d in front of the hou30. John Brown's little girl came out. ! Ha said to her: "Well, .miss, is Mr. Atkins here;' Hhe made no answer, for shecould not betray the minister of the GospeL "Haj!" Clever house said, "then you are a ch;p!of the old block, are you? I have something in my packet for you. It is a nosegay. Some peo ple call it a thumbscrew, but I call it a nose gay." And he got off his horse, and he put it on the little girl's hand, and liean to turn it until the bones crackei, and she .cried. He said: "Don't cry, don'tcry: this ishU a thumb screw; this is a nosegay." And they heard tho child's cry, and the father Rifd mother came out, and Claver house said; "Ha! It seems that you three' have? laid your holy head together determined to die like all tho rest of your hypocritical, canting, saivelling crew: rather than give up roo I Mr. Atkinp, pious Mr. Atkins, you would die. i I have a' telescope with me that will improve your vision," and he pulled out a pistol. "Now," he said, "yon old pragmatical, lest you should catch co!d in thi3 cold morning of Scot' land,! and for the honor and safety of the king, to say, nothing of the1 glory of God I and the good of our. souls, ' I will jpro?eed simply an 1 in the neat?st and most expeditious style possible to b'ow your brains out." John Brown fell upon his ..knees and began to pray. "Ah!" Slid Claver bousoj "look out, if you are going to pray: st3er dear of the King, the council and Richard Cameron." '0!.Lord,n said John Brown, "since it S3ems to ba Thy will that I should leave this world for a world where I can love Thee better and serve. The3 more, I put this poor widow woman an i three help less, fatherless children into Thy hanls. We have I been together in peace a good white,! but now we must look forth to a bolter meeting in heaven, and as for these poor . creatures, . blindfolde l and infatuated, that stand before me, con vert them before it be too late, and may they who have sat in judgment in this lonely place on this blessed morning, upon me, a poor, de fenseless fellow-creature may they, in the Last Judgment, find that mercy which they have refuse 1 to me, Thy most unworthy, but; faithful servant. Amen." He rose up and said: "Isabel, the hour has come, of which 1 spoke to you on the morning when I proposed hand and heart, to you; and are you "will ing now, for the lore of God to tet . me die?" i She put her arms nrouna nim and said: "The Lord gave, an i the Lord hath taken away. . Blessed be the nama of the Lord!" "Stop that snivelling," said Claverhouse. "I have had enough of it Soldiers, do your work. Take aim! Fre!" an l the head of John Brown was scattered on the ground. While the wife was gather ing up in her apron the fragments of her husband's head rathering them -up for burial Claverhouse looked into her face and said : "Now, my good woman, i how d you feel about your bonnie man!? 4 Oh!" she said, "I always thought weel of him; he has lieen very good to me; I had no reason for thinking anything but weel of him, and I think better of him now. Oh, what a grand thing it will lie in the Iast Iav ' to see God pick out his heroes and heroines. Who are Ihose paupers of eternity trudging off from the gates of heaven? Who are they? The Lord Claverhouses and the Herods and those who had sceptres, nni crowns, and thrones, but they lived for their own agerandiseraenP.and they broke the heart of pations.

Murderer Hanged to a Bridge by a Determined Blob. Fremont Emmons, the young man .wljo '"eJibcrately stabbed to death' Miss Bertha Schults at Pawnee City, Neb., a few days ago, because she had refused his proposal of marriage, was taken frora' the-authorlties at I awnei City and lynched by a mob. - Emmons was second cook at the Exchange Hotel ad Miss Shultz was a laundress at the jame'house. Emmons met her in a neigh boring yard and stabbed her with a shoe maker's knife, in, the vicinity of the heart, killing her instantly. He ws immediately arrested and lodged in jail. Intense excite menfe nnd fears of lynching prevailed. The officers accordingly spirited him out of town and took him to the Penitentiary at Lincoln. He was returned to Pawnee City to be given a hearing. He waived examination and was recommitted. Emmons pretended to know nothing of the murder. He no doubt had determined to feign insanity, ' ? A mob from the vicinity -of Dubois, the home of-the murdered girl, entered Pawnee City and surrounded the Court- House in which is located the jaiL They found the jail open and Emmons gone. A thorough search of the Court House was then made, r suiting ia the discovery of Emmons under guard of the officials in the third story. "The guards were over, powered and the prisoner taken from them. He made no resistance. The mob took Emmons to the railroad bridge in the -western part -of the city, and a min ister was called on to pray for hira.? , Emmons then made a few remarks. He warned young men against the use of whiskey declaring that it was the cause of his ruin. He refused to say. anything of the crime for which he was soon to swing. He neither ad mitted nor denied it. At the conclusion of bis speeoh he prayed briefly for himself. The rope being tied around his neck and fastened to the bridge, he was twice commanded to jump. At the second command Emmons made the fatal leap. He fell nearly ten feet. His neck was, broken. . He scarcely made a struggle.. The mob then quietly dispersed, le lving the body hanging to tho bridge to be claimed' by his relatives. Tho citizens of Pawnee had no hand in the affair, although many of them were silent witnesses at a dis tance. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. How John Anderson Passed Nine Day. in a Well. John Anderson, who was imprisoned in a well nine daj's at Johnstown, Neb., and was released Sunday, says that when ihe boards and sand closed in over him he was crowded into a box about two feet square, and with enough room for him to stand 'erect. He could not get on his knees or sit ' down,. but bad to stay In a crouching position during the whole of his imprisonment. "About the first thee days," said Anderson, "I got along vecy well, but after that I ' lie can to want water badlv. -The fourth day, when it rained, I heard what I thought -wa water slowly dropping, reeling arounu j. found it, and holding .my mouth open, man aged hi this way to get about a dozen drops of water, which gave me much relief. -1 had no difficulty in breathing until the well below me came so near being filled by sand occa sionally' coming in, caused by the diggers above. I had brpathed the air over so much that it bad become impure, causing me to feel a smothering sensation, but about this time the rescuers got near euough to ran to let in the air from above. By having a good supply of chewing tobacco, I did ot suffer so much for food as might have been expected. From the beginning I could hear considerable that. was said aqd. done above; I heard the wagon whn it started to town for lumber, aftd heard some one say the man is dead, and the order given, to try to pull ray box but.

A story of defianca.of law of a remarkable nature comes from Sberbrooke, Canada, in the vicinity of which place two murderers, about whose gu It there is. Bot the least doubt, are defying all attempt of the author ities to arrest them. . . . f Donald Morrison, who killed a man named "Warner in eol "blood at Megantic a few weeks since, and on w bose head the govern ment has set a price, lives In the woqds near the scene of his erime. He goes into town to bny bis provisions, and 'once in. while dine at the hotels. . He is well armed and . with' the population . jpartly afraid of .and partly in sympathy with him, the officers of the law are entirely powerless. He has prom ised to shoot the first man that tries to arrest him, as be says it will not go harder with him for two murders than for one, A con pis of days ago Mr. Alexander Ross, one of Her M jtyV justices of the peace, met him while driving in bfs buggy on the public highway, anl at his request drove him to town and dared not take him into custody.

The Decision !.:.:. t in Favor of ; ; , v; . ' r . t ..,:.. Miller. . . , - ; . The ensi of the Northern Pacific , railroad a. Guilford Miller, which has been pending in the Department of the Interior for 4 more lhan twO years, has been deciddl by Secre tary Vilas. A Guilford , Mdler,- it will be remembered, was the homesteader in 'whose behalf President Cleveland wrote his famous letter' to Secretary Lamar after Attorney General Garland had decided in favor of the railroad company. In this letter he took'no issue with the Attorney General upon the matter of . law, but he suggested to the Sec retary to consider if it were not admissible and proper for the Secretary 'to disapprove the selection. " ; 7 . - Since that time the ease has remained in a state of suspension, awaiting consideration and judgment upon the appeal of the com dany. In the decision now rendered, the Secretary points out that in 1S70 the ? North era Paaflo Railroad Company for f be first time exercised the privilege given by the act of 1804, and located a preliminary gen eral route after explorations and surveys by their civil engineer, accompaniet by "satis factory explanatory notes to inaka itdefinite and certain, and adopted by the board of directors, and filed, in consequence of their direction by Ihe president of the company, with a request that the lands should be with drawn as the act provided. This fact, the Secretary says. Was not considered at all by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, nor by the Attor ney General, and has been entirely over looked. Other reasons. a; e given by the Secretary for his reversal of the Attorney General's decision, and after - claiming that his decision places Miller's claim upon a solid legal ground, and not upon any equitable consideration in his favor, the order is that the homestead entry shall remain intact. Miller will, of course, be obliged to prove up as between him and the United States, and show his continued hoinestend residence and cultivation. And if the railroad company makes any further contest, it must be in the courts. The opinion is decisive ' as to its claims in the Interior Department. It is understood that there are awaiting the de termination of this case about two thousand cases in the General Land Oftice. ELECTRICAL ECCENTRICITIES.
