It not only furnished the water in which the priests washed them selves, but it also, on Its shininir, polished Bur'ace, pointed out the spots of pollution on the fane which needed ablution. t have to sty that this is the only looking. Class in which a man can see himself as he Is. There are some mirrors that natter the features and make you look better than you are. Then there are other mirrors that dig tort your features and make you look worse, than you are. hut I want to tell you that this lookinar-gh-s of the gospel shows a mam just as he Is. When the priests entered the aneient taheruacle, one glance at the burnished side or this laver showed them their need or cleansing. So this gospel shows the soul its need of divine washing. "All have sinned and come short o the srlory of God." That is one showinir. "AM we, like sheep, have gone astray." That is another showing. "From the crown or the head to the sole of the foot there is no health in us." That is another showing. The world calls these defect?, imp-rrections, or eccentricities, or erratic behavior, or "wild oats," or "high living," but the gospel calls them sin, transgression, tilth the abominable thing that Go hates. It was just fmi glance at that mirror that nate T'aul cry out, "0!t, wretche 1 roan that I am, who shall deliver me from the hod v of tis death?" autthat mile I) .vid cry out, 'Purge me with hyssop, and J shall be clean." and that made Jlirtin Iv'ithercry out, "Oh, ray sins, ray sins !" I am not talking about had habits. You an t I .o not need any Bible to tell us that bad hiMts are wrong, that blasphemy and evil ?P"sicing are wrong. But lam talking of a sinful nature, the source of all bad thoughts as well as of all bad actions. The Apostle Paul calls their roll in the first chapter of Romans. They are a regiment of death en canipiug arouud every heart, holding it in a tvranoy from which nothing but the grace ot Go I can deliver it. Here, for instance, is ingratitude. Who has not heea guilty of that sin? If a mau hau l us a glass of water we say. "Thank you." but lor the 10,0(10 mercies that we are every day receiving froai the hand of God how little expression of gratitude for thirst slaked, for hunger fed, for shelter, and suu shine, and sound sleep, and clothes to wear, how little thanks! X suppose there are men fifty years of ago who have never vet been down on their kuees in thanksgiving to God for H:s goodness. Besides that ingrati tude of ourharts there is pride wno has not felt it? pride that will not submit to Go 1 ; .hat wants its own way a naturethat prefers wroug someliuHS iustead of right ; that prefers to w.illow instead of rise up. I' you coul i catch a glimpse of your natur al heart before Go 1, you would cry out in amaze-pent and alarm. The very first thing this gospel does is to cut down our pride ami self sufficiency. If a man does not feel his loss ' u I rulne 1 condition before God, he does not w.iut .my gospel. I think the rea son that there are so few conversions in this day is because the tendency of the proach ing is lo make mn believe that they aro pretty goo 1 anyhow quite clever, only w inting a little fixing up, a few touches of divine grace, and then you will ba all right instead of proclaiming the broad, deep truth that Payson and Whitefleld thundered to a race trembling on the verge ot infinite and eternal disaster. "Now," says some one, "can this really be tnW Have we all gone astray? Is there no good in us?" In Hampton Court I saw a room whre the four walls were covered witu loolciuj gluss's and it made no difference which way you looked you saw yourself. And so it is in "this gospel of Christ. If you once step within its full precincts, you will find your whole character reflected, every feature of moral deformity, every spot ot moral taint. If I understand the word of God, its first an y...nncement is that wc are lost. Glory be to God, I find that this laver of looking glasses was filled with fresh water every morning, and the priest no sooner looked on its burnished side and saw his need ot cleausiug than he washed and was cean -glorious type ot the gospel of my Lord Jesus, that first shows a man his sin an 1 then washes it all away !

When our Civil War had Oissed the Bnr: ernment of the United States made procla mation or pardon to the commou soldiery in the Confederate armyi l,ut not to the chief soldiers. The gospel of Chr.st doss not act In that way. It s-.vs pardon for all. hut especially lor the chief oi siDners. ow, rnv brother, I do not state this to put a premium upon great iniquity. I merely say this to eneou.-age that man. whoever he wno feejs he i.s so far tone from God that there is no mercy for him. I want to tell him tuere is a -oo I chance. Whv. Paul was a mur lerer. He assisted at the execution of Stephen, an 1 yet Paul was save'. The mug tniet did evetvi ung bad. The dvmi? thief was saved. Richard R axter swore dreadfully, l-nt the grace or God met him, and K'chnr1 Baxter was saved. It is a vast laver. Go an 1 tell everybo ly come an ! w ish in Let them come up frimthe oin:tenliHries an I wash awiy their cr:me. Let them come up from the alms Vouses an I wash aw iv their poverty. Let them come uo from their graves and wash aw.iv their d'Mn. If there be anyone so worn out in sin that h cannot get up to the laver, you jvill take hold of his head and put vour ar ns arouu I him, and I will taki ho-'i o' his feet, an I we will plunge hun in this glorious Bethesla. the vast laver of God's mercy an I salvatiou. In Solomon's emple there were ten layers and oue molten sea this great reservoir in the midst of the mple filled with water these lavers and this molten sea adornel with figures of palm branch aol oxn and lions and erublm. Thif fountain of God's mercy a vnster molten se;i than that. It is r.ot adorned wltn palm branches, hut with the wool of the cross: not with the cherubim, but wilh the wings of the Holy Ghost, and arouud its great rim all the race mav come and wash in the molten sea. But I notice also, in regard to this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text, that the washinir in it was imperative and not optional. When the priests came into the tabernacle ( vou will find this in the thirtieth hspter of Exo.lus), Godtells them that they mus, wash mthat laver or die. Itn priest might have said : "Can't I wash elsewhere? I washed ia the laver at home, and now you want me to wash here." God says : '"Xo matter 'whether or not you have washed before. Wash in this laver or die." But," say.s the priest, "there is water just s cl.m as this. Why won't that do?" Wash here," says God, "or die." So it is with the gospel of Christ, It is imp-jrative. There is only this alternative keep our sins and pensb, or wash them away and live. But. S'ivs someone. "Wny could not God have made more ways to heaven than one?" I do not know but He could have made half a dozen. I know He made but one. You sav, "Why not have a long Hue of boats running from here to heaven?" I cannot say. but I simply know that there is only one boat. You say, "Are there not trees as luxuriant as that on Calvary, more luxuriant, for that had neither buds nor blossoms, it was stripped and barked?' Yes. ves. there have beea taller trees than thiit and more luxuriant, but the only path to heaven is under that oae tree. Instead of quhrreling; because there are not more ways, let us be thankful to God there Is one, one name given unto men whereby we cau be saved, one laver in which all the world may wash. So you see what a radiant go.spel this Is I preach. I do not know how a man can stand stolidly and present it, for it is such an exhuarant gospel. It is not-a mere whim or caprice. It is life or death. It is heaven or hell. You come before your child, and you have a present in your hand. You put your haads behial your baok and say : "Which haad will you take? In one hand there is a treasure ; ia the other there is not." The child blindly chooses. But God our Father does not do that way with us. He spreads out both hands and says : "Now this shall be very plain. Ia that hand are pardon and peace and life and the treasures of heaven. Ia that hand are punishment and sorrow and woe. Choose, choose for yourselves !" "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned." An artist ia his dreams saw such a splendid dream of the transflguratioa of Chist that he awoke and seize! his pencil and said, Let me paint this and die." on, l nave seen the glories of Christ! I have beheld something of the beauty of that great sacri fice on Calvary, and I have sometimes felt I would be willing to give anything if I might iust sketch before vou the wonders of that sacrifice. I would lika to do it while I live, and I would like to do it when I dte. Let me paint this and ate.' He comes along, weary and worn. His face wet with tears, His brow crimson with blood, and Ho lies down on Cm vary tor you. , i mis take. Nothing was as comfortable as that. A stone on Calvnry would have made a soft pillow for the oying head of Christ. Noth ing bo comforts Lie as that. Ho does not lie down to die : 11- strut U u- to di-.

What a hard ead for those hands that had wiped away tears and bound uj broken hearts ! And that is all for you ! Ob, can you not love Him? Come Bround this laver, old and young. It is so burnishel you can see your sins and so deep you oan wash them all away. O mourner, here bathe your bruise i soul, and, sick ne, here cool your hot temples in thislavex! Peace! Do not cry any more, dear soul ! Pardon for all thy sins, comfort for all tho -afflictions. The black cloud that hnngthuiideringover Sinai has floated abov Calvary and burst into the shower of Saviours tears. I saw in Kensington GarJen a picture of Waterloo a good while after the battlo had passed and the grass hail grown all over the field. There was a dis mounted cannon, and a lamb had come up from the pasture aad lay sleeping ia the mouth cf that cannon. So the artist had represented it a most i.uggestive thing. Then I thought how tho war be tween Gtd and the soul had ended, and instead of the annouacemeat, "The wages of sin is death," there came tho words. "My peace I give unto thee," and amid the batteries ot the law that had once quaked with the flerv hail of death I beheld the Lamb of God, which taketh away th sin of the world. I went to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad. I found in Htm a restinsjplace, Aad He has made me glad. Shipping Chinamen in Crates.

They are sti'l i.nrsing their wrath to keep it warm. I v.Tilv believe our northern enemies want us to kit-p on li-r.ching negroes so as to have an ex- cn-ie to abuse us.

It is a capital p.ipe-r, but every now and ihen it makes a fling at us and hurts my ft elings and keeps Mrs. Arp from being calm and reue. Only two weeks ago it had a wild byena screech from a man by the name of Putnam, who has recently discovered that his uncle rau an underground , ailroa.l in 1847 and later abducted lots of s'ave-s from V rciria into Ohio and let them sl.ep in his best beds, and once while he was over in Parker.-bnrg, Va., ou that buiness the peo- f l r found it out and pnreu-d bim and he es caped bv tumping into the river, and how one man Mird him in (he United Stales court for $5,000, and Salmon P.

Fruit which Commands the highest prices in the city markets has all been picked by hand by thrifty farmers or their bovs and well washed before be ing barreled up for winter nse. Fears should be packed, in boxes with newspapers between each layer of fruit. For winter pears and rarer varieties, it pays to wrap each one ia newspaper, besides putting papers be tweea the layers of fruit. Thus packed with the cover nailed drwn, trith the name and date of packing and kept in a cool place where they will not freeze, I have known the winter Isehs, the pound pear, Vicar of Wakefield and other late ripening varieties to keep perfectly till the Jane after they were athered; luscious when eaten ripe or baked for tea. Many who now send hastily gath ered, bruised, ill-prepared fruit to market in earlv antumn could get louble the price for it did they pick and pack it in ways herein suggested, and after keeping it three months or t-o in their own cellars, send it to cities in midwinter or spring after the first supplies are exhausted.

A women crossing network of rail road tracks iu Long Island City not long ago stepped ou a frog, which wat unlocked, and pinioned her foot S3 curely. There was possibly no tlanger from an approaching traiu, for there were many men about, but her posi tion was not comfortable. ller cries attracted assistance to her side, and the groups of men began suggesting first one thing, then an other to release the foot. "Give a sudden jerk," sugeesteel one. "Slide your foot forward," said another. The woman tried, but could not iaove her foot "Xo, that won't do," crieel a third, ( man was $23, "Get a crowbar. Get anything. We've got to pry it out." At this the woman became hysterical, and the men all grew nervous. Several ran up the track, and several down to 6ignil any approaching train. Just then, when th excitement was high, railroad employe crossed the track, swinging a tin dinner pail. "What's the matter?" he asked of one of the crowd. The situation- was ex plained to him. Everything had been tried, his informant said, and they were waiting for a crowbar. "Why don't pou unlace the shoe," he said, and taking a knife from his pocket he cut the Ip.ees. Ne one had thought of that, but the remedy was effectual, and in fifteen seconds the half fainting woman was able to puil her foot from the shoe, and a slight effort then released the latter.

Mr. Archer's family consists of his wife, a sprightly little woman, who presents a pic ture of perfect health, and a son, twenty seven years of age. No one would suppose to look at Mrs. Archer now that she was fof nearly nine years, and less than two months ago, an invalid so debilitated that life was a burden.

Doctor after doctor was consulted nd while all agreed that the patient was suffering from a valvular trouble of the heart, none could afford her the slightest re lief.

"I could not walk across the floor; neither could I go upstairs without stopping to let the pain in my chest and left arm cease. I lelt an awtui constriction anout my arms 1 and chest as though I were tied with rope. . Then there was a terrihle noise at my right ar, like the labored breathingof some great snimal I have often turned expecting to see some creature at my side. The only re lief I obtained was when I visited Florida and spent several months there. On my re turn, however, the pain came back with re newed forese.

Two weeks ago I saw a car load of chickens in Alabama," said T. L. Hollinshead. "Ihe remarkable thing about it was that the chickens were all from one day to three clays old. Among the freight in a local car was a basket of eggs which had, iu some way, been overlooked, and the car re mained on the side track for a nam -ber of days. It was then picked up as an empty and taken iuto Selma, where, upon opening it, a number of small chickens were seen toddliug about the floor; in fact, enough to be called a car load. In very hot weather it is not infreipaentto find eggs on the point of hatching.
