Subject: "The Rustic in the Palace."
Tfxt : "I will tro aril soe him before I

Jacob had. Ion? sirm passed th hanlrei
ypar mI!eton. Ia those times poop'.e- Wre
listinQishei for lonvity In the centnrifts
nTWvraril persons Hvei to trreat as?. Galen,
the most crleM-ated physician oT his time,
took 50 little of his own me Heine that he
lived to 110 years. A man of unloubtei
veracity on the witness etani In Kniaad
Bwore that he r memijere i an event 150 years
before. Lord B.ieon sneaks of a countess
who hai cut three sts "of teeth anl die! at
140 years. Joseph Cr-. of Pennsylvania,
lived HO ye.rs. In l-i.57 a boo'c w.is printel
containing the names of thlrty-svaa per
Bons who lived 140 j-ears, an I ths names of
e'.oven persons who livel 150 yeara.
Among the gran 1 ol 1 people of whom we
have reeor I was Jacob, the shepherd or the
text. But he had a bad lot of boys. They
were jealous and ambitious ani every way
unprincipled. Joseph, however, seemed to
be an exception, but he had boen gone many
years, an 1 the probability was that he was
lend. As sometimes now in a house you
will fin 1 kept at the table a v.icant chair, a
plate, a knife, a fori, for somo debase 1
memher of the family, so Jacob kept in his
heirt a j'ac3 for his blovel Joseph. There
Rifslheol l man, the flock of 140 years in
thdr flight having alighted lang enousra to
leave the marks of their claw on foreheai
and cheek an I te np!e. His lon beard snows
'own over his eVst. His eyes are some
what dim. and he e:m s-je farther when they
are c'.osd than waen they are open, for he
an s;a clear hack into the time when beauti
ful Rachel, his wife, was living an 1 his chil
dren shook the oriental abola with their
merriment.
The centenarian Is sitting dreaming over
the past whn hp hears a wagon rumbling
to the front door. Hi gets up and go93 to
the door to see, who has arrived, and his
lon absent sons from Eypt come in and
announce to him thra Joseph instead of be
ing dead Is still living in an Egyptian, palace,
with all the investiture of prlm9 minister,
next to the king in the mightiest empire of
ellthe world! The news was too sudden
and too glad for the old man, ani his cheeks
whiten, and he has a dazed look, and his
Btaff falls out of his hand, and he would
have dropped had not the sons caught him
an lied him to a lounge and put cold water
on his faco and fanned him a little.
In that half delirium the old man mum
bles something about his son Joseph. He
Bays: "You don't mean Joseph, do you
1 my dear son who has been dea I so long?
You don't mean Joseph, do you?" Bat after
they had fully resuscitated him and the news
; was confirmed the tears begin their winding
way down the crossroads of the wrinkles,
and the sunken lips of the old man qalver,
nnd he brings his bent fingers together ns
he stys : 'Jo3ph is yet alive. I will go and
see him before I die."
It did not take the old man a great while
to get ready, I warrant you. He put on the
best clothes that the shepherd's wardrobe
could afford. He got into the wagon, and
though the aged are cautious and like to
ride slow the wagon did not get .along fast
enough for this old man, and when the
wagon with the old man met Joseph's chari
ot comintr down to meet him, and Joseph
got out of the chariot and got into the wag
on and threw his arms around his father's
neck, it was an antithesis of royalty and rus
ticity, of simplicity and pomp, of illial affec
tion and paternal love, which leaves us so
much in doubt about whether we had better
laugh or cry that wo do both. So Jacob kept
the resolution of the text, 'I will go ani see
blm before I die."
- What a strong ani unfailing thing Is par
ental attachment ! Was it not almost time
for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot s'ins of
many summers had blazed on the heath ; the
river Nile had overflowed and reoeiei, over
flowed and receded again and again; the
seed had been sown and the harvest reaped ;
stars rose and set ; years oT plenty and years
of famine had passed on. but the love of
Jacob for Joseph in my text is overwhelm
ingly dramatic. Oh, that is a cord that is
not snapped, though pulled on by many de
cades ! Though when the little child expired
the parents may not have been more than
twenty-five years of age, and now they are
seventy-five yet the vision of the cradle, and
the childish face, and the first utterances of
the infantile lips are fresh to-day, in spite of
the passage of a half century. Joseph was
as fresh In Jacob's memory as ever, though
at seventeen years of age the boy had disap
peared from the old homestead. I found in oar
family record the story of an Infant that had
died fifty year3 before, and I said to my
parents, "What is this record, and what
does it mean?" Their chief answer was a
long, deep sigh. It was yet to them a very
tender sorrow. What does that all mean?
Why, it means our children departed are ours
yet, nnd that cord of attachment reaching
across the years will hold us until it briegs
us together in the palace, as Jacob anl
Joseph were brought together. That is one
thing tint makes old people happy. Taey
realize it is reunion with those from waoji
they have long been separated.
I am often asked, as pastor, and ev9ry
pastor is asked the question: "Will ray
children be children in heaven and forever
children? ' Well, there was no doubt a great
change In Jo3?ph from the time Jaoob lost
him and the time when Jacob found him
between the boy seventeen years of age anl
the man In mid-llfo, his forehea I developed
with the great business of state but Jaoob
was glad to get baoi Joseph anyhow, and it
did not make much differenne to the old man
whether the boy looked older or looked
younger. And it will be enough
joy for that parent it he can get back
that son, that daughter, at the gate
of heaven, whether the departed loved one
shall come a cherub or in full grown angel
hood. There must be a change wrought by
that celestial climate and by those supernal
years, but it will only be from loveliness to
more loveliness and from health to more
radiant health. O parent, as you think of
the darling panting and white in membrane
ous croup I want you to know it will be
gloriously better in that lani wherd there
has never been a death aa I wiiere all the in
habitants will live on in the great future as
long as God ! Joseph was Joseph, notwith
standing the palace, an i your child will ba
your child notwithstanding all the reigning
6p'.endors of everlasting noon.
What a thrilling visit was that of the old
shepherd to the prime minister Joseph! I
seethe old countryman seated in the palace
looking around at the mirrors, anl the foun
tains, and the carved pillars, anl, oh, how
he wishes that Rachel, his wife, w.is alive
and she could have come there with him to
see their son ia his great housa! "Oh,"
says the old man within hims3lf, "I do wish
Rachel could be here to see all this!"
I visited the farmhouse of the father
of Millard Fillmore .when the son was
Tresident of the Unite I States, and
the octogenarian farmer entertain
ed me until 11 o'clock at night, telling me
what great things he saw in his son's hous9
at Washington, and what Daniel Webster
said to him, and how grandly Millard treated
his father in the White House. The old
man's face was illumine! with the story
until almost the midnight. He had just
been visiting his son at the capital. Ani I
suppose it was something of the ssnw joy
that thrilled the heart of the old shepherd
as he stood in the palace of the prime minis
ter. It is a great day with yon when your old
parents come to visit you. Your little chil
dren stand around with great wide open
eyes, wondering how anybody could be so
old. The parents cannot stay many days,
for they are a little restless, and especially
at nightfall, because they sleep better in
their own bed, but while they tarry you
somehow feel there is a benediction in every
room in the house. They nre a little
feeble, and yon make It as easy as yon can
for them, and you realize they will prob
ably not visit you very often perhaps never
again. Yon go to their worn after they
haVe retired at night to see if the lights
are properly put out. for the old people
understand candle and lamp better than
the molern apparatus for illumination. In
the mornlngi with real interest in their
healthy you ask them how they rested last
night. Joseph, in the historical scene of the
text, did not think any more of his father
than you do of your parents. The probabil
ity isv before they leave your house thy half
spoil you? dhlidreh with kindness. Grand
father and grandmother are mors lenient and
indulgent to vour children than they ever
were with you. And what wonders of re
velation In the bombazine poaket of the on
and the Bleeve of the other ! Blessei is that
home where Christian parents come to visit !
Whatever may have been the style or the
architecture when they came, it is a
palace before they leave. It thy visit
you flftv times, the two most memorable
visits will be the first and the lar. Those
two pictures will hang in the hall of your
memory while memory lasts, anl you will
remember juit how they lookel, an 1 w'mre
they sat, nn 1 what they said, and at what
figure of the carpet, and at what doorsill
they parted with you, givln? yon the final
goodby. Do not be embarrass3l if your
father come to town and he have the man
ners of the shepherd, and It your mother
come to town ani there be in hr hat no
sign of costly millinery. The wife of the
Emperor Thaolosius said a wisi thing when
she sai l, "Husbands, remombor what you
lately wreaad remember what you ara anl
bethankful."
By this time you all notice what klnlly
provision Joseph ma le for his father, Jacob.
Joseph did not say ; "I can't have the old
man around this place. H9W clumsy he
would look climbing up these marble stairs
and walking over these mosaics ! Then he
would be putting his hands upon 9ome of
these frescoes. People would wonder whers
that old greenhorn came from. He would
shock all the Egyptian court with his man
ners at table. Besides that he might get
sick on my han Is, and he might be querulous,
and he might talk to me as though I were
only a boy, when I am the second man in
all the realm. Of course he must not suffer,
and if there Is famine in this country and
I hear there is I will send him some pro
visions, but I can't take a man from
Padanaram and intro!u?3 him into this
polite Egyptian Court. What a nuisanooit
is to have poor relations !"
Joseph did not say that, but he rushed out
to meet his father with perfect abandon of
affection, and brought him up to the palaoe
and introduce I him to the emperor, and
provided for all the rest of the father's days,
and nothing was too good for the old man
while living, and when he w is dead Joseph,
with military escort, took his father's re
mains to the family cemetery. Wouli God
all children wore as kind to their parents !
If the father have large property, and he
be wise enough to keep it in his own name,
he will b3 respected by the heirs, bat how
oft3nit is when the son finis his father in
famine, ns Joseph found Jacob In famine,
the young people make it very hard for the
old man ! They are so surprised In eats
with a knife instead of a fork. They are
chagrined at his antediluvian hahits. Th9y
are provoked because he cannot hear as W9ll
as he us9d to, and when he asks it over
again and the son has to repeat it he bawls
in th-s old man's ear, "I hope you hear that !"
How long he must wear the old coat or the
old hat before they get him a new one ! How
chagrined they are at his independence of
the English grammar! How long he hangs
on ' Seventy years, and not gone yet !
S9venty-3ve years, and not gone yet ! Eighty
years, and not gone yet ! Will he ever go?
They think it of no use to have a doctor in
his last sickness, and go up to the drug
store, and get a dose of something that
makes him worse, and eoonomlza on a coffin,
and baat the undertaker down to the last
point, giving a note for the reduced amount,
whtch they never pay. I hava ofllilate lat
obsequies of aged people where the family
have be9n so inordinately resigned to Provi
dence that I felt like taking my text from
Froverjs, "The eye that mookethat its father
an 1 refussth to obey its mother, the ravens of
the valley shall pick it out, and tho young
eagles shall eat it." In other wordi, such
an ingrate ought to hava a flock of crows
for pallbearers ! I congratulate you It you
have the honor of providing for aged par
ents. The blessings of the Lord God of
Joseph and Jacob will b9 on you.
I rajoios to remember that, though my
father live! in a plain house the most of his
days, he died in a mansion provide i by the
filial piety ol a son who nil acaievei a ror
tune. There the ootogenarlan sat, and the
servants waited on him, and there were
plenty of horses ani plenty of carriages to
convey him, and a bower in which to sit on
long summer afternoons dreaming over tho
past, and there was not a room. In the honss
where he was not welcome, and there ware
musical instruments of all sorts to regale
him, and when life had passed the neighbors
oame out ani expressed all honor possible
ani carried him to the village Maohp9lah
and put htm down beside the Rachel with
whom he had lived more than halt a cen
tury. Share your successes with the old
D3ople. The probability is that the principles
they inculcated aohlevei your fortune. Give
them a Christian percentage of kinily con
sideration. Let Joseph divide with Jacob the
pasture fleldi ot Goshen ani the glorl93 of
the Egyptian court.
An 1 hare 1 wouia use to Btng tne praises
of the sisterhood who remain unmarried
that they might administer to ag3 1 parents.
The brutal world oalls th933 sacrificing ones
peculiar or angular, bat if you hava had as
mauy annoyanao3 as the hava had Xan
tlppe would have been an aagel compare! to
you. It is easier to take care ot fivd rollick
ing, ro nplng children thin ot oue childish
old man. Among the best women are tho3e
who allowed the bloom of lite to pass aw ly
while they werd oaring for their parents.
While - other maidens were bouu I asleep
they were soaking the old man's feat or
tucking up the covers arouni the invalid
mother. While other maidens wore in the
ootillon they were danolng attendance upou
rheumatism and spreading plasters for the
lame back ot the septenarian and hoatiug
catnip tea for insomnia.
In almost every circle of our kindred there
has been sonequeeuot self sacrifice to w'lom
jeweled hani after jewelel haul was offered
in marriage, but who stayel on the old
place because otthe sense of filial obligation
until the health was gone aai the attractive
ness of personal presence hal vanished.
Brutal society may call suih a one by a nick
name. God calls her daughter, anl naaven
calls her saint, and I call her domestio mar
tyr. A half dozen ordinary women have not
as much nobility as could be found in the
smillest joint of the little flnxer ot her left
hand. Although the world has stoo 1 6033
years, this is the first apotheo3is ot maiden
hood, although in the long line of those who
have decline! marriage that they might ba
qualified for some espeolal mission are the
names of Anna Ross and Margaret Breckin
ridge an! Mary Shetton an 1 Anna Etherldgs
and Georgian Willetts, the angels of th9
battlefields of Fiir Oiks an 1 Loaxout Moun
tain ani Chancellorsville, anl though single
life has been honored by the fact that the
three greatest men of the Bible John aal
Paul and Christ were celibates.
Let the ungrateful world sneer at the
maiden aunt, but Go! has a throne bur
nished for her arrival, ani on one side of
that throne in heaven there is a vase con
taining two jewels, the one brighter than the
Kohinoor ot London Tower and the other
larger than any diamond ever found in the
districts of Goloon la the one jewel by the
lapidary of the palace cut with the words,
"Inasmuch as ye did it to father the other
jewel by the lapidary of the palace cut with
the words, "Inasmuch as ye did it to moth
er." "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse" is
the exquisite ballad of Will Carleton, who
found an old woman who had been turned
off by her prosperous sons, but I thank Go 1
I may flud in my text "Over the hills to the
palace "
As if to disgust m with nnfillal conduct,
the Bible presents us the story of Mlcab.who
stole the 1100 shekels from his mother, an 1
the story ot Absalom, who trlel to dethrone
his father. But all history is beautiful, with
stories of filial fidelity. Eoiminonias, the
warrior, foani his chief delight in reciting
to his parents his Victories There gor
Eneas from burning Troy; cri hl3 shoulders
Anchises; his father. The Athenians pun
ished with death any un'llial conduct. There
sroes beautiful IV.uh escorting venerable
Naomi across the desert amid the howling ot
the wolves anl the barking of the jacka!?.
John Lawrence, burned at the stake in Col
chester, wa.3 cheerel in the flames by his
children, who siid, "O. Goi, strengthen
Thy servant an i kep Tny prom'ts !" And

I may s ty in rega r 1 lo the most of you that
your parents have probably visite I you for
the last tim3 or will soon pay you such a
visit, an 1 1 have wonder ;i if they Will ever
visit you in the King's palari. "On," you
say, "I am in th pit of sin !" Jo3Jp'i was in
thi pit. "O'j," voa say, "I a-i iathe prison
of min- Iniquity 1' Jos-jvi w n once in pri
son. "Oh," you say, "I di la't h ive a fair
chance. Iwasdeniel maternal kinlnessl".
Joseph wis denial miternal atteniance.
"O'.i," you say, "I am far away from the
land of mv nativity !" Josaph was far from
home. "O'j," you say. "I have b3n be
trayed an I ex isp jrate 1 !" Did not Joseph's
brethren soil him to a passing Ishmaelitish
caravan? Yet Goi brought him t' that em
blazone I rsideT, an I if you will trust His
grace in Jesu j CarUS yoa, to3, will be em
palaced. Oh, wuat a day that will be when the old
folks come from an adjoining mansion in
heaven anl flni you ami I th4 alabaster
pillars of the t'iroa too n and living with the
King! Th9yara com'ng up the steps no v,
anl the epiuletol guar. I of thi palvs-
rushes in an 1 say "Your father's co ning !
Your mother's coming !'' Anl wh'u uu l-r
the archa3 of praeious stones and on the
pavament of porp'iyry you gHt each other
the scane will eclipse the meeting 011 the
Go3hen highway when Joseph aui Jaco1
fell on each other's neck and wept a good
while.
But, oh, how changed the oil folks will
be ! Their chek smoothed into th9 fl sh of
a little child. Their stooped posture lifted
into immortal symmetry. Their foot now so
feeble, then with the sprightlines3 of a
bounding roe as they shall say to you, "A
spirit pass3l this way from earth an 1 tol l
us that you were wayward and dissipated
after we left th-j world, but you have re
pented, our pr.ayer has been answered, and
you are here, and as we used to visit you on
earth before w diel now w j visit you in
your new home after our ascension." And
father will say, "Mother, dont yon ses
Joseph is yet aliv??' And mother will say,
"Yes, father, Josaph i3 yet alive."
And then they will talk ovsr their
earthly anxieties in regarl to you, ani
the midnight supplications in j'our
behalf, aai they will r jcite to e ioh other the
old Scripture pvss-iife with which thy us-ai
to cheer their staggaring faith, "I will bi a
God to the9 an 1 thy saei after thee." Oh,
the palaea, the pala?e, the pal-aca ! That is
what Richard Baxter callel "The saints'
everlasting rest." Tuat is what John Buv
yaa called the "Calestial City." That is
Young's "Night Thoughts" turned into
morning exu:t.itioas. Tuat is Gray's "Ele
gy In a Churchyard" turnel to resurrection
spectacle. That i3 the "Cotter's Satur lay
Night" exchange 1 for the Cotter's Sabbatu
morning. That is the shaphardof Salisbury
plains amid the floats oa the hil'13 ot
heavaa. That i3 the famine struck P.a lana
ram turnad into the rich pasture flails ot
Goshen. That is Jacob visiting J 03 aph at
the emerald ca3tle.
Where tho Largest Birds Have Lire'!.
The countries south of the equator
furnish fossils of the largest bird
forms that have been developed oa
the earth. New Zealand, Australia,
Madagascar, and South America, mak
ing the circuit of the globe, with great
intervening stretche3 of ooean, all
present fossils of the various families
of the33 great bids, attaining in New
Zealand a height of some ten to twelve
feet, and in Madagascar a height of
considerably greater. Daring the first
settlement of New Zealand by Euro
peans the bone3 still lay scattered in
great quantities on the sarfase, and
were also found imbedded in the
marshe3 where, for some cause or
other, the birds had huddled together
by the hundreds.
It is hardly necessary to state that
none of these huge birds were flyers.
Some, in fact, were wingless. They
are interesting as illustrating the limit
to which tho principle of flight is car
ried in tho applicatfon of nature, a3
she could neither concentrate the mas
cular wing force necessary to flight,
nor combine wing material to stand
the necessary beating of the atm.03
phere in aerial propulsion.
Tho etill existing emu, cssow.ry
and ostrich, representative- of the
largest bird life, have wiogs to aid
them as runners, but they are ail ut
terly incapable of flight. The33 an
cient birds, known as raoai and whoa
families are known as Dromornis, the
Espyornis and Broaternis, have no
fair modern representatives, and in
common with myriad3 of other life
iorms, seem to have met, in some mu
tation of nature, sudden and universal
death. It is a curious fact that while
these were strictly land birds their
distributioa extended arouni tha
earth, while their habitats where sep
arated by vast expanses of oseaa. If
we may assume that the Southern con
tinents were neirly or quite con leet
ed, when the area between the Rocky
and Apalachiau Mountains was tha
Mississippi Oea, prior to the rush of
waters southward, then this distribu
tion problem around the Southern
hemisphere solves itself. Pittsburg

Ejrsjs in Terpetnal Freshness.
Some months ago a Dublin inven

the eSIeacy of th9 invention, which,
if successful, would revolutionize taa
egg market, an experiment was car
ried out at the Frearniu oiSie. A

good effect upon their children."

" Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
