Text; V Given to Hospitality Romans, xii., 13. , ( ; . - if There is danger that the multiplication of lai-se and commodious .hotels ' in oar townsr and cities, and villages, will utterly extermi nate that grace which Abraham exhibited when he entertained the angels, and which " IA showed when he watched for guests at the gate of rthe city, and which Christ recosr nized as a positive requisite for - entering heaven, when he declared: "1 was a stranger and ye took Me in." .iHr,-:i.:-:,i-.. : -I propose to speak this morning of the trials and rewards of Christian hospitality. .-The first ' trkd often comes in the whim and ec centricity of the. guest himself: -.There are a great many excellent psople who have pro tuberances ot disposition, 'and sharp edges of temperament, and unpliability of character, which make them a positive nuisanca in "any ' house where they stay. On . short .acquaint ance they will begin to command the house hold affairs, order the employes to unusual service, keep unseasonable hours, use narcotics in places offensive to sensitive nostrils, puS their feet at unusual elevations, drop the ashes of their Havana on costly tapestry, open bureaus they ought never to touch, and pry into things they ought never to see, and be come impervious to rousing bells, and-have all the peculiarities of the gormandizer or the dyspeptic, and make excavations from poor dentistry with unusual Implements, anl in a thousand ways afflict the household which proposes to take care of them. Added to all, they stay too long. - Thy have no idea when their welcome : is ? worn out, and they would be unmoved even by the bless ng which my friend Gerrifc Smith, the philan thropist, asked one morning at his breakfast table, on the day when he hoped that the lanx protracted guests would depart, saying: v iajixi, uiwss luis provision, ana our mends who leave U3 to day 1" r But, my friends, there are alleviations to be put on their side of the scale. - Perhaps they have not had the sarne refining influences about them in early life that you have had. - Perhaps they have inherited eccentricities that they cannot belp. Perhaps it is your duty, by example, to show them a better way. Perhaps they are s.nt to be a -trial, for the development of your patience. Perhaps they were to be intended as an illustration of the opposite of what you are trying to inculcate in the minds of your children. Perhaps it is to make your home the t brighter i when they are gone. When our guests areTheery, and fascinating, and elegant, it is very easy to entertain them; but when we fintl in our guests that which is antagonistic to car tasts and S3atl ment, it is a positive triumph when we can obey the words of my text and be ''given to . ; Another trial in the usuier of this arraae is in the toil and expensa ot exercising it. In the well regulated householi ; things go smoothly, but now you have introduced a foreign element into the machinery, and tnougttyou may stoutly declare that they must take things as they find them, the Martha will break tin. The ungovernable. stove, the ruined dessert, the joint that proves to be unmasticable, tho delayed mar keting, the perplexities of a caterer, the diffi culty of doing proper work, and yet always ftieuig presentame. lnonga you may say there shall be no care or anxiety, there will be care and there will be anxiett. In 1Q'34 the Captain-General provided a verv srand entertainment, and among other things he had a fountain in his garden a fountain of strong arintc m it were four hozsheads of brandy, : eieht hosheads Of water.- twentr. five thousand lemons, thirteen hunroriwAicht of Lisbon sugar, five pounds of grated nut meg, three hundred toasted biscuits and a boat built on purpose was placed in the foun tain, and a boy rowed around it- and filled the cups of the people who came there to ba supplied. - Well, you say that was a lux urious entertainment and of , course the man had no anxiety; but I have to tell you. 4.1 A. 4.1 1 1 . fcua mouga you naa, or propose, an enter-' tainment like that, vou" have anxietv ' In that very thing comes the Divine reward.- v were Dorn to serve: and when we Knrv others we " serve -God.

But, my friends, you are not to toil unnecessarily. Though the fare -be plain, cheerful presidency of the table, and cleanliness of appointments will be good enough i for anybody Jthafr ever comes to your house. John Howard was invited to the house of a nobleman. He said: "I will come on one condition, and that - is, that you have nothing but potatoes on the table." The requisition was complied with Cyrus, : King of Persia, under the same circumstances, prescribed that on the table there must be nothing but bread, s Of course these were extremes, ' but they are illustrations of the fact that more depends upon the banqueters than upon the banquet, v I want to lift this idea of Christian entertainment out of a posi tive Donaage into , a glorious inducement. Every effort you put forth, and every dollar you give to the entertainment of friend or f oe, you give directly to Christ. Sudposb it were announced that the Lord Jesus Christ would come to this place this week, what woman in this house would not be glad to wash for Him, or spread for Him a bed, or bake bread for Him ? There was one of old who washed for Him, drawing the water from the well of her own tears. j: He is com ing, He will be here to-morrow, " Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it to Me " In pict ure galleries we have often seen representii tions of - Walter Scott an i his friends, or Washington Irving wittfhis associates; but all those engravings will fade out, while through everlasting ages, hanging luminous and conspicuous, will be the picture of you and your Christian guests. -i-.r You see we have passed out from the trials into the rewards 'of Christian hospitality; grand, glorious, and eternal. : The first -reward of Christian hospitality is the Divine benediction. When any one attends to this duty God's blessing comes upon him, upon his companion, upon his children, upon his dining-hall, upon his parlor upon his nursery. The blessing comes in at the front door, and the back door, and down through the skylights. God draws a long mark of credit for services received.- Christ said to His disciples: 'He that receiveth you; re ceiveth Me; and he that giveth a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple shall in no wise lose his reward." : '. As we have had so many things recorded against us in heaven, it will be a satisfaction to have written on unfailing archives, the fact that in the month of May, or June, or September, or De cember, 1S87, we made the blissful mistake of supposing that we were entertaining weak m?n like ourselves, when loJ they showed their pinions before they : left, and we found out that they were angels unawares. : Li.-. Another reward comes in the good wishes and prayers of our guests. I do not think one's house ever gete over having had agood man or woman abide there. George White field used . to scratch ; on the window of the room where he was entertained a passage of Scripture, and in one case, after he left, the whole household was converted by the read ing of that passage on the window pane. The -woman of Shunem furnished a .little-room over the" wall for Elisha, and all theage3 have heard the glorious consaquehees. ; On a co!6V stormy winter night, my father enter taine l Trueman Qsborne, the evangelist, 'and through all eternity I will thank. God that Trueman Osborne stopped at our housa. How many of our guests have brought to use con dolence, and sympathy, and help! -There is a legend told of St. Sebald, that in his Christ ian rounds he used to stop foi entertainment at the house of : a, poor cartwrightr Coming there One day, he found the cartwright and - his family freezing for the lack of any fuel. . SC. Sebald ordered the man to go out and break the icicles - from the sider of the h5us9 and bring , them in, and the icicles were brought into , the house, nnd thrown on the hearth, and they began to blaze immediately; and the freezing family gathered around and were warmed by thenl. That was a. legend' but how orten have our guests cdme In to gather up the cold, freezing" sorrows of our life, kindling them into illum ination, and warmth, and good 'cheer. He who opens his house to Christian hospitality, turns those who af si strangers into friends. Years Will go by,5 and there will be 'great changes in you, i and there t will i be - great Changes in them. 4 Some day you will be sit-; ting in loneliness, watohin a bereavement, ana you will get a letter in a strange hand writing, and you will look at the post-bfnee mark, and say: "Why,; I don't know anybody living in that city;11-- andyoa will break the envelope, ' and there you will read the story .of thanks for your Christian generosity long years before, and how they have heard- afar off of your trouble. -- And the letter will be so full Of kindly reminiscences and Christian condolence, it will be a plaster- large enough to cover up all the deep gashed of your oul. When we take people into our houses as Chris tian guests, we take them into Our sympathies for eveft In Dort, Holland, a soldier with a sword at his side stoppod at a house, desiring lodging and shelter. The woman of the house at first refused admittance, saying ' that ; the men of the house were not at home; but when he showed -his credentials that he had been honorably discharged from the army, he was admitted and tarried during" the- night. In the night-time thero was a knocking at the front door, and two ruffians broke in to de spoil that household. No sooner had they come Over the door-sill taan the armed guest, Who had primed his piece and charged it with slugs, met them, and telling the woman to stand back, I am happy to s&f, dropped the two : assaulting desperadoes dead at his ; feet. Well, now there Are no bandits prowling around to destroy our housis; but how often it is that we find those that have been ' our guests become our defenders.' " We gave them shelter first, and then afterward; in the great conflicts of Ufa they fou;ht for our repu tation; they foaght for oar property; they fought for our- soul. . - - Another reward that comes from Christian hospitality is in the assurance that we shall have hospitality shown to us and to OurS-77 la: the up-turuings of this life, who .knows in What city or what land we may , be thrown, and how. much ,we may nee I an open"3oor I There may coma no suoh oris s to us, but Our children - may be- thrown ; into some such Strait.

"- - Among the Greeks, after entertaining and being entertained, they take a piece of lead and out it in two, and the host takes one-half of the piece, of lead and the guest the olher half as they part. .- These two pieces of lead are handed down from generation to genera tion, and from family to family; and after awhile perhaps one of tha families in want or ia trouble go out with this one piece of lead and find the other, family with ' the corre sponding piece of lead, and no sooner is the tally completed than the old hospitality is aroused, and eternal friendship pledged. So th? memory of Christian hospitality will go down from generation to generation, ' and from family to family, And the; tally will never be lost, neither in thi3 world nor the world to come.-- --:;";;"X(-.iS "."-:'.'" '' '' Mark this: the day will come when we will all -be turned out-of-doors,, without any ex ception bare-foot, bare-head, no water in t he canteen, no . bread in the haversack, and we will go in that way into the future world.

When Ewing found he - was swindled ; ha t lined the necessary - extradition " papei s and sent Detective Elliott to Chicago to ar rest Jackson.

Jackson was brought to Tec nessee and it was claimed py his attorneys that his arrest was illegal and that he was not properly in the State, and that the offense with which- ne was cnargea was not extra ditable, inasmuch as he was- not a fugitive from justice, having n ver been m tneca;e of Tennessee, and never resided here, where be is broueht to be tried.

Information just received from Manchaca Texas, is to the effect that the two train robbers supposed to be surrounded in a pas ture four miles from Manchaca, never en tered the enclosure at all, and the officers found they had been given the slip. Instead of going into the enclosure they succeeded in getting into a creek bottom, down which they traveled several miles, and then hid in the brush until about sundown, when they approached the farm house and bought two horses and saddles, hats and shoes, saying that, thev were cattle buvers and had been robbed.

Cranberry grade - at a point about 18 miles west of Oakland. tThe .train, which: met .with the disaster is i known as No. 47, and is due at. Oakland at . 10.05 A. ,"M. It usually carries nothing but ' express' mattorj and runs . on f fast schedule passenger train timeV 'However, in addition to the five express cars Wiially hauled, the train had one immigrant car attached loaded with Scotch immigrants,5 and It is f ortiraate that the less of. life was not much greater , than it was; At Terra Alta, ten miles west of Oakland, the decent of the Cranberry grade is commenced, and for a .distance of ) ten miles runs down the side of the mountain at a grade of one hundred and' fifteen feet d the mile. While the soenery,on this part of . the road is grand, almost beyond description, .. one can scarcely look from the ear windows down into the apparent bottomless gulches without a shudder, thinking what if the air? ' brake should fail to perform its part as the . train rushes down the incline" " When train" No.' 47 started down: the grade yesterday about 12 o'clock, the .engineer, Wm Pax ton, soon discovered that the air brake would not work and that he had no control of his train, - which was momentarily increasing its speed. - , Notwithstanding his perilous position, Pax ton remained at his post and used every means in his power to -save his - train; ad however without avail. The train" attained a see 3d of some .eiehty-miles an hour and 1 ' literacy ; jumped and plunged along downl the mountain until within about two miles of the foot of the -grade", while rounding a sharp curve the tender and two -express cars . -jumped the track end shot like bullets down an almost perpendicular embankment to the ," bottom of the ravine about a hundred feet ' . deep, where they lay in Rn unrecognizable mass, j The two- cars were" loaded; with une. goods,' such as cigars,-cl thing;" "millinery goods," etc., and the. loss .'will: be heavy A.i W. Cooper, of KeyseW.

The track was blocked and 'travel de layed several hours. The cause of the acci- ? dent as asserted by some was the usual one," viz., the failure ot; the air oraKes to went. It is claimed however, that :the. brake appara tus was known by the train hands to be out -' of order before the descent-Was made. When : the train reached Oakland "the giim air-hose it is said was leaking and m an unsaie conoa- . tion. j; Wilham. Virts, a brakeman who re sided at Keyser, whilst the engine was taking water ; endeavored "-to s. repair the . hose by- wrappers . or trying m some way. While Virts was thus eneaeed the engineer, 4axT ton, was, it is stated, heard-" to- say;i MI am . airaid to go uown tne graae wiiu mai nose, Nevertheless,the descent was attempted, with . i the result as stated. There were two brake men on the tra n besides the Conductor- and two express messengers. One brakeman, it is said was not at his post, but? in the im- migrant car, and the jBxpi-essmea, and they , found the train."was running away, worked man was at his post, went ..down twith his train and lost his life. , .
