For perhap twentv or thirty years vou have been running your crnft straight into the teeth of the wind Perhaps you hare had domestic disappoint menf. onr children, upon whose educa tion you lavished your hard earned dollars, have not turned out as exoected.

That mother never JmaKino.1 all this as twenty or thirty years apr she sat by that child's cradle. Your life has been a chapter of disap pointments. But come with me and I will show you a different scene. Bv Hod's ffrace entering the other city, vou will never auain have a hbistel hope. The most jubilant of expectations will not reach the realization. Coming to the top of one hill of joy, there will b other heights rising up in the vision. This song of transport will but lift you to higher anthems, the sweetest choral but a prelude to more tremendous harmony, all thiols better than you had anticipated the robe richer, the crown brighter, the temple grander, the throng mightier. Further, I remark, there will bn no pain of weariness. It may be many hours since you quit work.but many of you are unrest ed, some from overwork, and some from dull ness of trade, the latter more exhaustin? than the former. Your ankles ache, your spirits flag, you want rest. Are these wheels always to turn, these shuttles to fly, these axes to hew. these shovels to delve, these pens to fly, these books to be posted, these roo Is to he sold? Ah, the great holiday approaches. No more curse of taskmakers. No more stoop ing until the hick aches. No more calcula tion until the brain is hewil lered. No more pain. No more carpentry, for the mansions are all built. No more masonry, for the walls nre all reared. No more diamond cut ting, for the gems are all set. No more gold heating, for the crowns are all completed. No more agriculture, for the harvests are spontaneous. Further, there will be no more pain of povrty. It is a hard thing to be really poor; to have your coat wear out and no money to get auother ; to have your flour barrel empty and nothing to buy bread with for your children ; to live in an unhealthy row and no means to change your habita tion , to have your child sick with some mysterious disease an I not be able to secure eminent medical ability; to have son or daughter begin the world and you not have anything to help them In starting, with a mind capable of research and high contem plation to be perputually fixed on questions of mere livelihood. Toets try to throw a romance about the poor mau's cot, but there is no romanoe about it. Poverty is hard, cruel, unrelent ing. But Lazarus waked up without his rags and his diseases, and so all of Christ's poor wake up at last without any of their disadvantages no almshouses, for they are all princes ; no lents to pay, for the resi dence is gratuitous ; no garments to buy, for the robes are divinely fashioned ; no seats In church for poor folks, but equality among temple worshipers ; no hovels, no hard crusts, no insufficient apparel. "They shall hunger no more, neither shall the sunlight on them nor any heat." No more pain ! Further, there will be no pain of parting. All these associations must some time break up. We clasp hands and walk together, and talk and laugh and weep together, but we must after awhile separate. Your grave will be in one place, mine in another. We look each other full in the face for the last time. We will besittlng together some even ing, or walking together some day, and nothing will be unusual In our appear ance, or our conversation, but Got knows that it Is tne last time, and messengers from eternity on their errand to take us away kuo it is the last time, aad In heaven, where they make ready for our de parting spirits, they know it is the last time. Oh. the long agony ot earthly separation ! It is awful to stand in your nursery fighting death back fromthecouch of your child, and try to hold fast the littleone, and see all the time that he is getting weaker, and tho breath is shorter, and make outcry to -God to help us and to the doctors to save him, and see it is of no avail, and then to know that his spirit is gone an 1 that you have nothiug left but the casket that held the jewel, and that in two or three days you must even put that away and walk around about the house and find It desolate, some times feeling rebellious, and then to resolve to feel differently and to re solve on self control, and just as you have come to what you think H perfect self, control to suddenly come upon some little coat or picture or shoe half worn out and 1 II flA..li l fha or.nl hlir.it in Una HOW nil 111" liwuo 11.0 v-.w. wild wail of agony !

The hospitals of the earth groin into , the ear of Goi their complaint. Asiatic choleras and shie fevers and typhoids and London 'plagues make the World's knees knock together. Pain has gone thronsh everv street ani ud every ladder and down every shaft. It is on the wave, on the mast, on the beach. Wounds from clip of elephant's tusk and adder's sting and crocodile's tooth and horse's hoof and wheel's revolution. We gather up the infirmities of our parents and transmit to our children the inheritance augmented by our own sicknesses, aid they add to them their own disorders, to pass the inheritance to other generations. In A. D. 282 the plague in Rome smote into the dust 6000 citizens daily. In 64, in Constanti nople, 1000 gravediggers were not enough to bury the dead. In 1813 ophthalmia swized the whole Prussian army. At times the earth has swelterel with suffering. Count up the pains of Austerlitz. where 30,000 fell ; of Fontenoy, where 100.000 fell . of Chalons, where 303.000 ,ell ; of Marius' fight, in which 2!i0.000 fell : of the tragedy at Herat, where Genghis Ktiau mastered 1,600,000 men, and of N'shar, where be slew 1.747,000 people ;of the 19.003,000 this mon ster sacrificed in fourteen years as he went forth to do as he declared, to exterminate the entire Chinese nation and make the em pire a pasture for cattle. Think of the death throes of the 5,000,000 men sacrificed In on campaign ol Xerxes. Think of the 120,000 that perished in the siege of Obtend. of 300,000 dead at Acre, of 1,100,000 dead in the siege of Jerusalem, of 1,816,000 of the dead at Troy, aad then com plete the review by considering the stupen dous estimate of Elmuud B'irke, that the loss by war had been thirly-flve times the entire then pres ;nt population of the globe. Go through and examine the lacerations, the gunshot fractures, tho saber woun Is, the gashes of the battleax, theslain of bomb shell and exploded mine and falling wall and those destroyed under the gun car riage, and the hoof of the cavalry horse, the burning thirsts, the mmp fevers, the frosts that shivered, the tropica! fans that smote. Add it up, gather it into one line, compress it into oue word, spell it in one syllable, clank it in one chain, pour it out in one groan, distill it into one tear. Aye. the world has writhed in 6000 vears of suffering. Why doubt the possibility of a future world of suffering when we see the tortures that have bem indicted in this? A deserter from Sevastopol, coming over to armyof the allies, pointed b3ck to the fort ress and said, "Tuat place is a perfect hel.. ' Our lexicographers, aware of the immense necessity of having plenty of words to ex press the different shades of trouble, have strewn over their pages such words as "an noyance." "distress," grief," "bitterness," "heartache," "misery," "twinge." "pang," "torture," "affliction," "anguish " "tribu lation." "wretcnedness." "woe." But I have a fflad sound for every hospital, for every sickroom, for every lifelong Invalid, for every broken heart. "There shall be no more pain." Thauk Go . ! Thank God ! No malarias float in the air. No bruised foot treads that street. No weary arm. No painful respiration. No hectio flush. No one can drink of thut healthy fountain and keep faint hearted or faint headed. He whose foot touches that pavement becomes an athlete. The first kiss ot that summer air will take the wrinkles from the old man's cheek. Amid the multitude ot songsters not one diseased throat. The first flash of the throne will scatter the darkness of those who were born blind. See, the lame man leaps as a hart and the dumb sing. From that bath of infinite delight we shall step forth, our weariness forgotten. Who are those radiant ones? Why, that one had his jaw shot off at Fredericksburg ; that one lost bis eyes in a powder blast ; that one had his back broken by a fall from the ship's halyards ; that one died of gangrene in the hospital. No more pain. Bure enough, here is Robert Hall, who never before saw a well day, and Edward Pay son, whose body was ever torn of distress, and Richard Baxter, who passed through untold phvsioal torture. All well. No more pain. Here, too, are the Theban legion, a great nost 01 beue pat to tne sword for Christ's sake. No distortion on their countenance. No fires to hurt them, or floods to drown them, r racks to tear them. All well. Here are the Scotch Covenanters, none to hunt them now. The dark cave and Imprecations of Lord Claverhouse ex changed for temple servloe, and the pres ence of Him who nelped Hugh Latimer out of the fire. All well. No more pain. I set open the door of heaven until there blows on you this refreshing breeze. The fountains of God have made it cool, and the gardens have made it sweet. I do not know that Solomon ever heard on a hot day. the ice olick in an ice pitcher, but he wrote as if he did when he said, "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. Clambering among tho Green Mountains 1 as tired and hot and thirsty, and I shall not forget how refreshing it was when, after awhile. I heard the mountain brook tumb ling over the rocks. I had no cup,no chalice, so I got down on my knees and face to drink. Oh, ye climbers on the journey, with cut feet and parched tongues and fevered temples, listen to the rumbling of sapphire brooks, amid flowered banks, over golden shelving. Listen ! "The Lamb which is in the midst of tb.9 throne shall lead them unto living fountains of water." I do not offer it to you in a chalice. To take this you must bead. Get down on your knees and on your face, and drink out of this great fountain of God's consolation. "And, lo, I heard a voice from heavun, as the voice of many waters." Horsetr Are Yery Cheap. Electrio lines and bioyoles have re duced the average value of horses fa the United States from twenty-five to fifty per cent. In the Western range conntrv the loss is felt the worst, for the surplus has formerly been sold in the Eart. Sow the L,ast is a ciosea market to ordinary grades of horses, and there is a surplus everywhere. In cases of forced 6ale prices are some times ridiculously low. Recently a number of car loads or range horses of good grade were re ceived by an Eastern road for suip ment to an Eastern terminal. The Eastern road advanced tho charges of the Western lines wnicn naa lor- warded the horses, and added the amonnt to its charges for transporta tion. Arrived in the East there was no market for the horses, and they were finally sold for $b a neai. ine Eastern road was paid the entire pur chase price, and was then compelled to charge 800 to profit and loss for its experience in the horse business. In the future it will advance no more charges on horses. The tellins of this story brought out a recent experience of a railroad official in Kansas City. He wanted a good, small-sized riding horse for his boy and found exactly wnathewantea in a Kansas City horse market. He wanted to buy the horse immediately, but was informed that he must buy it at auction. As a special favor, how ever, the auctioneer agreed to put up the horse selected to be bid on first, the railroad official being in a hurry. As it was lead out the auctioneer an nounced: "Lot No. 16," and the official's eyes sparkled as he noted the KKriniTlnc enit and craceful form of bis nrosneetive nurchase. He would willingly have given $100 for the horse without a bid, but carelessly caiiea out: "Fifty dollars" as a etarter. TT was inbilant when it was finally knocked down to him for $75. He .leci.W to lead his prize home im mediately and so announced himself to Abe barn manager. 'What will you have done with the others?" asked that functionary. There were six horses in lot 16 and the railroad official is thinking of starting a livery stable. Chicago Her ald. .

TOR WAS "IMPOSED" UPOX And Talks of Society in General and Church Society in Particular, In every community that has population rge enough to divi le tliere are circles of Roci- ty, circles of politics, circles of secret associa tions and circles of the cbuicb. The first and last named especixllv embrace the wives and laughters of the community. Women make up K-iulv and are more iiartlculHr than men about who they admit into their crcle. Thise circles are graded like the pupils of a pubi c school ;rad d according to wraith or education or oc- upation. J be div ding line are not filed nor wtll ilennrd.fomometimes a poor woman who is mart and well mannered and of good family is admitted into a higher circle. I know a very bright and beautiful lady who once was rich, but is now a milliner, and yet she is never Omitted, never slighted by the charmed circle as it is ra'led. She mmgles freely with those above her and tboee below her. This is the trib ute that all classes pay to rtflnement and good breeding. A good woman who has been well raised and has a go? d education can live in a place lint is higher than the aristocracy ot wealth. She has more social influence in the chinch or out of it 1 ban all the swells whose iamondsare their chief passport, aud when she die she baa more mourner at her funeral. But I was tuminating about the church soci ety the good will and charity that prevails in church circles among all its member. If they don't mingle toaether on we k days they do on SundayB, for the ehanty the church teaches brings all its members on a level. mong Christians (I don t mean pretenders or hypocrite) there ii no aristocracy. A soul s a kouI and the humblest on earth will take the highest place in heaven. I am not going to preach a sermon. These thoughts were pro sed by a little episode that happened in our church last week. Our jprtacher and his sister went to keeping house, lhey dident have much to start on, and we were behind with his salary. Our country churches are always behind. For forty yeais I have been hunting for a church that was not b hind. 80 it was whispered 1 on mi that our preacher had to borrow money !o buy a co king stove and he dident have no more furniture than Ebsha bad in his little room that the Bhnnamite woman fied np for ira by the will, tie is a ton 01 half yankee born u or tli and educated touth, and his sister a- been teaching school np there. He is smart aud handsome and bumble and the most devo ted man in his calling I ever saw. The poorest people in the town and vicinity know him, for he has been to see them, and every boir loves him just because he loves everybody. He owes balance on nis education and nas gone in bt for some 1 ooks, but we dident know it. All cf a sudden we found out that he was dis persed finmicially. We told him when lie came thxt if the Lord would keep him hnmble we would keep him poor. But at last our church people txcame 8 routed. The ladies improvised donation Party and tue men lius la around and raised his back pay and so last Friday even ing the good things began to roll iuto the preach er's bouse. The ladies cf tho town sent flour and coffee and tea and rice and oatmeal and uar and a? nip and cann d goods and some furnitnre and tverything else marly and the country members sent chickens and turkeys ind lots of potatoes and pickles and Jellies and all sorts of good things even down to popcorn and persimmons from the children. I never saw the like for two people. We are afraid he will quit preaching aud open a family grocety. When the first load came he told the drayman it was a mis ake he liadent ordered any such things and he must iVe them back. But the drayman trailed a smile and said: "I is gwino to leave 1 m here anyhow dat'swhat dey tole me, and leave them he did. Hoon another ad came and then another and there was obody's name on anything. The poor man whs bewildered. He had Just bought a twenty five pound sack of flour and lx re were 250 pounds nrjre. "What did he Fa) ?" I asked of a drayma. ' He never said notnin, tnt ne looked sorter imposed on." That night onr people began to drop in on the parsonage nna waus and by 8 o'clock the hoin-e was full of men. Women children.

He dares to play baseball with the boys and is by far the best player in the town, for be wus captain or a team in college and likes the sport. "No boys, said he, "I will be glad to play with you, but you must promise not to use an oath nor an unkind or ungentlemanly expression during the game." And they promised. Iter the gamo was over he thanked tnem and invited them no cordially to come out to prayer- meeting that night that 'hey went- His gentle nnuence over our town boys is always lor heir good.

She shouldent be a leader of so sietv that is ot it-i fashions and frivolities. But she should be social, cheerful and bright. Nobody likes a meek aud sad-eyed woman. I know a minister in a distant city who married a very fashionable woman and it hurt his in luence in the church. But siill a minister's wife may smile O.ice or twice in a while. And still be a woman without gnile- Bill Asp in Atlanta Constitution. Artificial Granite. The manufacturer of artificial pran- i to is now carried on at a California establishment by what is asserted to be a simple and effective method, and with satisfactory results. It consists of first tamping a layer of the body- forming material in a mold, one inner vertical wall of which is formed by a vertically movable slide; after this the process is continued by removing the slide and tamping a layer of the facing material in the space made by the lower end of the slide, then re placing the latter with its lower end resting on the tamped facing layer, tamping now the second body-forming layer, and again removing the slide and tamping the second facing layer. The formation of the body and facing material is continued in this manner by successive steps, until the face block of the desired thickness is an accomplished fact. In this way there is produced a material of cheap substances and a facing of better quality, showing any kind of finish desired, the two being united while in a plastic condition into a homogeneous mass. New York Tele eram. DfOerence in Weight. A mass of 1000 pounds' weight will lose exactly two pounds between tide' water and the top of a mountain four miles high. This, it is plain to be eeen. is because the force of the earth's attraction is much less on the mountain top than it is at sea level. Iew York JpuraaJ.

A'Four-Lcffged Bird. Brakim Jagson, an eccentric 6tock raider of Ribville, Ind., had an im mense feather bed made and placed in the stall of a favorite two-year-old mare. The strange substitution for straw frightened the animal and 6he kicked the bed tiCK full of holes, and the feathers flew all over her. When the hostler opened the b table door in the morning he was frightened out of his seven senses by seeing what he snpposed was a monster four-legged bird in the stall where be had left the mare the night before. He has given Jagson notice. New York Mail and Express. Lockjaw From Chloroform, A Norwich (Conn.) blacksmith, act ing under the advice of a local veter inary surgeon, chloroformed a re fractory horse in order to shoe him. The horse yielded reluctantly to the influence of the anaesthetic, but was finally brought completely under its power, and the shoeing process was accomplished witn great ease. A. lew days later the horse began to droop. then was attacked with lockjaw and died in a very short time. Chicago Herald.

"The seven Bibles of the world are the Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chinese, the Three Vedas of the Hindus, the Zandavesta of the Persians, the Eddas of the Scandina vians, and the Scriptures of the Christians. "The Koran is the moat recent of all, dating from about the seventh century after Christ. It is a compound of quotations from both the Old and New Testaments, and from the Talmud "The Tri Pitikes contain sublime morals and pure aspirations. Their author lived and died in the sixth century before Christ. "The sacred writings of the Chinese are called the Five Kings, the 'kings' meaning web of cloth. From this it is presumed they were originady writ ten on five rolls of cloth. They con tain wise sayings from the sages on the duties of life, but they cannot be traced further back than the eleventh century before our era. "The Zendavesta of the Persians, next to our Bible, is reckoned among scholars as being the greatest and most learned of the sacred writings. Zoro aster, whose sayings it contains, lived and worked in the twelfth century be fore Christ. "Moses lived and wrote the Penta teuch fifteen bnndred years before the birth of Christ; therefore that portion of our Bible is at least three hundred years older than the most and ancient of other sacred writings. "The Eddas, a semi-sacred wtk of the Scandinavians, was given to the world in the fourteenth century. Missionary Review of the World. Barber Lore. The barber's gift of tongue, which baa long been a subject of mirth and an object of dread, is now to be utilized and attached with belting, as one may say, to tha machinery of politios. One of the many ''Leagues" that are constantly being operated as feeders to the reat political parties, has taken means to prepare for the barbers of the country "a reasonable quantity of well-written, knock-down arguments," as the officers express it, which are designed to be communicated to the devoted customers of these knights of razor and ehear, when they have them stretched at full length in their chairs under lather and napkin, with escape impossible. It is sad to contemplate that another horror is to be added to the barber's chair, and it is to be hoped that the knock-down arguments referred to may not become boomerangs, and as sume a physical form, when adminis tered to unfortumate customers.
