BBy.DB.TALM. The Kmlncnt Brooklyn Divine's Sun day Sermon. Subject: The atlTa.! Text: "And they came with haxfe, and found Jaary and Joseph' and the Bab: tying in a manger." Luke ii., 15. , Tlie black window shatters of a Doceasber night were; thrown open, and some of tha best singers or. awonawners tnsy ail sing: ttood tuere. ana putting bacz the drapery ot cJouJ, chanted a peace anthem, until alftha echoes or dih and valley applaulel and en cored the HaileiujaU chorus. Come, let tw co into that Chris trav ac-?ns as though we had never befora worshiped at the manner. Here is a Madonna worth Iookinr at. . I A A A A. A . wonaer noc mat me irequenc name in all lands and in. all Christian centuries is Mary. And there are Marys in palaces and Marys in cabin?, and thcush German an 1 Freach and Italia and Spanish and English proaoutics indif ferently, tbey are all namesakes of the one whom we find on a bed of straw, with her paie iace against tne sort cuselc o Christ la the nisht of the .Nativity. All tha great Sinters nave iriea on canvas to present ary and her child and the incidents of that most famous night of the world's his tory, x et all of them were copies of St. Matthew's Madonna and Luke's Madonna. tbe inspired .Madonna of the Old Book.whici we had put into our hands when we were infante, and that we hope to have under our ceaos wnen we die. Behold, m the first place, that on the first . nibt of Chr:st's life Go I honored the brute creation. You cannot get into that Bethle hem barn without going past the camels. the mule?, the dogs, the oxen. The brute of that stable beard the first cry of the in fant Lord, borne of the old painters repre sent the oxen and camels kneeling that night neiore tne newoorn Da be. Ani well mi "-at they kneel I Wave you ever thought that Christ came among other things to alleviate the sufferings of the brute creation? Was it not appropriate that He should, during the tiro; lew days and nights of His life on earth, bo surrounded by the dumb beasts? !Not a kennel in all tbe centuries; not a bird's nest, not a wornout horse on a tow path, nor a herd f reeeing in the poorly built cow pen, not a freight car in summer time bringing the beeves to market without water through a thousand miles of agony, not a surgeon's room witnessing the (struggles of fox and rabhst or pigeon or dog in the hor rors of vivisection but has an interest in the fact that Christ was born in a stable sur rounded by brutes. They surely have as much right in this world as w have. In the first chapter of Genesis you may see that they were placed on the earth before man was, the fish and fowl created the fifth day, and the quadrupeds the morning of the sixth day, and man not until the afternoon of that day. The whale, the eagle, the lion, and all the lesser creatures of their kind were predecessors of the human family. They have the world by right of possession. They have also paid rent for tbe places they occu- Eied. What an army of def ens all over the ind are the faithful watchdogs. And who can tell what the world owes to the horse and camel and ox for transportation? And robin and lark have, by tbe cantatas with which they have filled orchard and forest, more than paid for the few grains they have picked up for their sustenance. Standing, then, as I imagine now I do in that Bethlehem night, with an infant Christ on the one side and the speechless creatures of God on the other, 1 cry look out how you strike the rowel into that horse's side. Take oft that curbed bit from that bleeding mouth. Remove that saddle from that raw back. Shoot not for fun that bird that is too small for food. Forget not to put water in the cage of that canary. Throw out come crumbs to those birds caught too far north in the winter's inclemency. Arrest that man who is making that one horse draw a load heavy enough for three. Rush in upon that scene where cxys ara torturing a cat of transfixing butterfly and grasshopper. Drive not off that old robin, for hirnest is a mother's cradle, and under her wing there may be three or four musicians of the sky in training. No more did Christ show interest in the botanical world when He said "Con sider the lilies," than He showed sympathy for the ornithological world when He said Behold the fowls of the air," and the quad rupedal world when He allowed Himself to be called in one place a lion and in another place a lamb. Meanwhile may the Christ of the Bethlehem cattle pen have mercy on the suffering stockyards that are preparing meet for our American households. Behold, also, in this Bible scene, how on that Christmas nizht God honored child hood. Christ might have made His first visit to our world in a cloud, as He will de scend on His next visit in a cloud. In what a chariot of illumined vapor He fflSght have rolled down the sky, escorted by mounted -avalry, with lightning for drawn sword. Elijah had a carriage of fire to take Him up; why not Jesus a carriage of fire to fetch Him down? Or over the arched bridge of a rainbow the Lord might have descended. 'Or Christ mieht have had His mortality say so befora juries and legislatures and sen ates. -All geology will yet bow befora tha Rock of Ages. All astronomy will yet worship the Rose of Sharon. All astronomy win yet recogniz3 tha Star of Bathlehem. Behold also in that first Christmas night that God honored the fields. Coma in, shep herd boys, to Bethlehem and sea tha child. 2fa,w thay sayr "we ara not dressed good enough to come in." Yes you are; coma in." Sure enough, the storms and the night dew and the brambles bare made rouja work with their apparel, but none have a better right to coma in. They wera tha first to hear tha music of that Christmas night. The first announcement of a Saviour's birth was made to those men in tha fields. The old shepherds with plaid and crook have for th3 most part vanished, but wa have grazing our United States pasture million fiMa nrl imiriM. about fortvflve Bheepand ali their keepers ought to follow the shepherds of my text, and all those who toil in fields, all Tine dressars, all orcaard ista, all.. husbandman. Wot only that Christmas night, but : all up and down tha world's history God had been hoaoriuj the fields. Nearly all the messiahs of re form and literature and eloquence and law and benevolence have come from the fields Washington from the fields. Jefferson frort: the fields. Tne residential martyrs, Gar field and Lincoln, from the field. Henrj Clay from tha fields. Daniel Webster from tha fields. Martin Luther from tbe fields Before this world is right the overflowing populations of our crowded cities' will havi to take to the fields, i Instead of ten merchants in rivalry as ti who shall sail that one apple wj want a' least eight of them to go out ani raia apples. Instead of tan merchants desiring to sell that ona bushel of wheat we want at least eight of them to go out end raise wheat. The world wants now more hard hands, more brond cheeks, more muscular arm.. To the fields I God honored them when He woke up tbe shepherds by the midnight anthem, and He will, while the World lasts continue to honor the fields. Behold, also, that on that Christmas night God honored motherhood Two nrA!ssm their wings might have brought an infant Saviour to Bethlehem without; Mrr hin. thereat all.

SloVement In Spit of Tremendous Obstacles Activity in Every Branch of Business. The Manufacturer' Record, of Baltimore, says: " The year 1891 has been cue of the most trying periods through which the financial, commercial, agricultural and industrial in terests of tliis country have ever been called upon to pass. The grrat financial crisis re sulting from tbe Baring Collapse in Novem ber 1833, ; overshadowed everything at ihe beginning of tbe year, and the.1 last twelve months have been a striking illustration of the ability, of this country to recover from a heavy blow to its financial and commercial interests. The creat resources of this country have been iuliy equal to the emergency, and the advent of the year 1SV2 finds us in a pros perous condition, with all our Industries in a state of great activity, tinlike thegreat panics of lSrS and 1884, the crisis oMS90-91 was dne entirely to outside causes, and not to condi tions created irf this country. England, by ill-advised speculative ventures, precipitated the trouble, and in the emergency the United States was called oh to right matters. The necessities of the case caused a severe drain upon the financial resources of this country, but the : equilibrium has : been once more restored, wiih comparatively little injury to our financial and commercial interests. The pjst year has been a period of slow recovery from the great blow, but the re covery has l;een steady, continuous and thor ough, nnd the opening of another year brings prospects of the brightest character. Nature has come noblv to the aid of this country with bountiful cropsof every kind, ample enough not only to meet all reauirements of home consumption, but also to supply the deficien cies existing in other sections of the world. The last half Of the year has been especially a periol of ac ivity and i fjsperity-in nearly every line of business, and the g-owth of trade 6hows how fully arid how rapidly the recovery has t-iken place. J Bi tween the b-giuning and the en 1 of the past year th?re have been trying periods in every secrljn of the cou try. Speculative ventures o! many kinds have collapsed, busi ness enterp- ises without sufficient capital have been forced to suspend and unsound banks hnve been toppled over. A 1 of this has had a beneficial effect upon the cotintry at large, and business iteivss are to-day in a more healthy condition than they were 12 months nco. There hts been a general clearing of the busin is atmosphere and sound concerns ean now breathe more freely. It has been especially interesting to note the manner an I locations in which the reac tion from the crisis of a year ago has mani fested itself, and here nsraiti the Sduth has ciuse for satisfnctiOn. There haa been many Jnrye failures in business tliirin the past ye:ir. and the aiieate of liabilities has been unusutliy heavy, but. the disastrous failures have been ; confined almost exclusively to the older financial centers of the North. The reactionary influences were severely ielt in some parts of the West, where there had been widespread collapse of speculative ventures, but for tunately the enormous grain crops have again brought prosperity to that section.. The failures in the South have lw?eu limited mainly to a comparatively ,:ew Sma'l concerns of in secure loo: irig arid Ui'ilited msan. None of the liiore important interests in the South have m t with disaster, and we believe that any well-informed and unprejudiced observer will admit that the South has stood the 6train of the past year in a phenomenal manner. In view- of the great - proportion of new establishments in the South it would no hrtve been Kurpr sing if many of them had collapsed under the pressure that has over Ihrowli so' many large and long-established firm in other sections bf the country, and the jr.ci mat suet lias riot been the case is tbe I best possible evidence of the stability of the South. The South has not only het its own against . treme.ulous odds in 181. bnt it has mads n. record of substantial progress which,, in many respects has never-been equalled iu the most prosperous years. Nature has been especially generous to the South. : The cotton Crop Of 169091 surpassed $11 record-, and that of 1891-92 will nOt fall far short. There has been an enormous' increase in the yield of wheat and corn, the sugar crop has distanced previous records "and the minor crops have been bountiful beyond all expectation. The1 South has given more liberally of its products to theworld then in former years, as indicated, by the great activity at the seaports.

I was beginning to feel sleepy and to nod frequently when the roar of a lon close at hand broke the silence. Instantly we were wide awake and grasping our guns nervously. In an oth er instant the roar was answered from a spot below us, and looking down we saw a lioness crouching at the foot of a tree. Her head was embedded between her forepaws, and her long tail waved luxuriously to and fro. Another "woof from the oppo site direction, and two magnificent tnale3 stepped into view while the" lioness continued to purr, and wave that graceful tall from side to side. And there she lay , purring gently while as terrific a combat ensued as the eye of man ever witnessed and tvords cannot paint the picture not describe that .combat, t Over and over-the two males rolled after meet ing in mid-leap with their fangs at each other's throats, while the sick ening sound of champing, bones filled the air, mingled with their ffantid. roaring i and the thrashing of their bodies through the whirling sand. " ; By this vime my nerves were so wrought up that I could stand the terrific spectacle no longer, and tak ing 3liberate aim at the lioness be hind Ber shoulder blade. I let flv. jAbove the rumble of my smooth bore pounded the shriek of the lioness as he heavy ball crashed into her vitals, die two duelists at once ceased their encounter, and as on of them turned he received Mac's rifle ball in the hat- ow over the eye, and death was In stantaneous.? The other male with a mighty roar and a powerful snrintr landed halfway up the trunk of our treei hearty, shaking us from our perch; but Isilla discharged a spard gun in his face; he fell back, and, probably only grazed by the shot, dis appeared into the darkness toward where the moans and cries of the lioness grew fainter and fainter every tnqmenti In thfe. morning with a party tif Arabs and dogs we tbok up the spoof and tracked the lioness to her lair; and after she had received eleven more of our bullets, killed and dis-. abled four of our dogs and made five, determined rushes, succeeded in mak-l Ing her bite the dust.

He Threw a Local Terror Through a Mill TVindo-ir in Tennessee. The resignation of Senator Reagan, of Texas, recalls a story of how he chanced to remove to the State that is now his home, and which has so signally honored him. He was living in Sevier County, Tennessee, in 1839, and was sent by his father to a grist mill to have a sack of wheat convert ed into flour. He was a big, raw boned, strapping country boy. According to custom, he hitched his horse at the mill, took the sack-of grain from the shoulders of the ani inalj placed iiron his own shoulders and toteU it tip three flights of stairs, and took his place in the! line as peo ple are wont to do still at country postoffices', waiting for his turn to have his wheat ground. Half an hour or so after Reagan arrived at the mill a well-known local character came, bringing a sack of wheat to be ground also. This last character was a local terror, fojid of brawls and fighting, and in the habit of hating his own way. He had to take his place in line with the rest, but when it crot tn ha turn to have his grain Hannibal and Sherman. . A writer draws a comparison bet twecn Hannibal, the famos Cartha ginian general, and the late William Tecumseh Sherman. The two men had the same sort of temperament,5 and, if we may trust the ancient de scriptions, they resembled one an other in physical stature not less than In the thoroughness of their military education. Hannibal was the first man to depart from the battle tactics which were the method of fighting adopted by Alexander. He had methods of his own, and his success.' until the Romans had learned from him how to use his own weapons, was due to the same qualities which dis tinguished the military services of Gen. Sherman. He gained his first and last victories by the use of strat egy. He did the unexpected thintr. All his career was the doing of things that nobody else did, and throuBhout the late civil war Gen. Sherman wai the man who constantly improved Upon military rules by methods of his own. The passage of the Alps by Hannibal was not more wonderful in' his day than the operations which Sherman planned and executed in bis march to Chattanooga, and his gigan tic conception of an invasion of ltalv has its parallel in Gen. Sherman's plan of the march to the sea and the support of his army by levylnar con tributions Upon the DeoDle throutrh whose homes he was nasaintr.
