TALMAOK 1'OItTIIAYJ The Surpassing Splendors of the Christian's Heavenly Home. Text: "Eye bath not seen nor ear heard. I Corinthians 11.. 9. "I am pnlag to heaven! I am coiner to heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Heaven!" TlieM were the last word utterM a fnw days ago by my previous wife as she ascended, to be with Ood forever, and is it not natural as well a C.'hri.stianly appropriato that our thoughts be rnueh ilire'-f 1 tow.ird the clorl ous residnen of whih St. l'aul ffeaks in the text I have chosen? The city of Corinth ha ben railed tho raris of aritlrjuity. Indeed for f-plndor tho world holds no such wond'-rto-day. It stood on an isthmus washed by two sas, the oni nea brinttinj? the romii'rco of Europe, tho other the oommerre of Asia. From her wharve, in the construction of which whole kingdoms had leen absorld, war alleys with three banks of oars pushel out and confounded the navy yards of all the world. Huge banded machinery, such as modern invention cannot equal, lifted ships from the pea on one .side and transported them on trucks across the isthmusand s"t them down inthesear.ri the other side. The revenue offleers of the eity went down through tho oliv grovcn that lined the beach to collect a tariff from all Nations. The tnirth of nil people Fported in her Isthmian kst, and the beauty of All lands sat in hr theatres, walked her iortieoes and threw itself on tho altar of her Ftupendous dissipations. Column and ptatuo and temple bewildered the beholder. There were white marble fountains into which, from apertures at the side, there rushed waters everywhere known for health giving qualities. Around these basins, twisted into wreaths of stone, lhre were all the benuties of sculpture and architecture, while standing, as if to guard the cosily display, was a statue of Hercules of burnished Corinthian brass. Vasea of terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of tho dead vnes po cosily that Julius Cmsar w.'ts not satisfied until he had raptured them for lbrne. Armed ofllcials, the "Corinthiarii," paced up and down to see that no statue was defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no bas re lief touehed. From tho edge of the city a hill arose, with its magnificent burden of columns and towers and temples (lOfiO slaves awaiting at one shrine), and a citadel so thoroughly impregnable' that Gibraltar is a heap of sand compared with it. Amid all that strength and magnificence Corinth stood ami defied tho world. Oh, it was not to rustics who had never seen anything grand that St. Taul uttered this text. They had heard tho best music that had come from the best instruments in nil the world. They had heard songs float ing from morning porticoes and melting in evening troves. They had passed their whole lives away among pictures and seiilpturo and architecture and Corinthian bra.-s. which bad been molded and shaped, unlilthero was no chariot wheel in which it had not sped, and no tower in which it had not glittered, and no gateway that it had not adorned. Ah, it was a bold thing' for Paul to stand there amid all that and say: "All this is nothing. Those sounds that come from the temple of Neptune are not inn.sie. compared with the harmony of which I speak. These waters ru-dtiug in the basin o Pyrenearo not pure. These statues of Larch us and Mer cury are not exquisite. Yon citadel of A-rnforijilhus is not strong compared with that which I offer to the poorest slave that puts down his burden nt that brazen gate. You, Corinthians, think this is n splendid city. You think you have heard nil swoot sou i). Is and seen all beautiful sights, but I tell you "'eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have eutered into tho heart of man f he things which God hath prepared forthem that love Him.'" You see my text sets forth the ideji that, however exalted our ideas may be of heaven, they come far short of the reality. Some wise men have been calculating how many finloniTK long and wide is heaven, and they have calculated how many inhabitants there are on the earth; how long the earth will probably stand, and then they come to this estimate that after all the nations had boen gathered to heaven there will be a room for each soul, a room lf feet long and 15 feet wide. It would not be large enough for me. I a n glad to know that no human estimate is sufficient to take the dimensions. '"Eye halh not seen, nor ear hoard" nor arithmetic calculated. I Hist remark that we can in this world get no idea of the health of heaven. When you were a child and you went out in the morn ing, how y.ui bounded along the road or treet vo'u had never felt sorrow or sick iie.sj' Perhaps later perhaps in these very summer lays you felt a glow in your heek, and a spring in your step, and au ex ulcranee of spirits, an l a clearness of eye, ih it mad" you thank G.1 you were permit tetolie. Th' nerves were harp strings, and th" sunlight was a doxology, and the rustling leav.s were the rust ling of the robes oT a great crowd rising up to priise the 1, r '. A oil thought that you knew what it vi ; to be well, but there is no perfect health on earth. The diseases of past generations roaie down t us. Th airs that float now on th earth an; unlike those which floated :i'ove para Us". They are charged with im puriiics aud disieinp.rs. The most elastic ti I robust h :i!th of earth, compare 1 with that which tho-e experience before whom tho ga'e.s have been open" I, is n "thing but sick ness mi I emaciation. Look at that soul slim ling before the throii". tbi earth she was a lifelong invalid. See her steo uowand bear her voice now! Catch, if y .u ran. ohm breath of that celestial air. Health in all the pulses! H-altli of vision, lb-allh of soit it-. irnmoital health. No racking couch, no I hharp pleurisies, no consuming fevers, no exhausting pains, no hospitals woun.ie.i men. Health swinging ia th"air. Health tlowinir in all the stream.-'. Health blooming on the banks. No headaches, u si lea -hes. no backaches. That child that died iu the agonies of croup, hear h'-r voire now ringing in the anthem! That old man that went bowed down with the inllnnities of age. sen him walk now with the step of an immortal athlete forever young again! That night when the nee ll'vo-nau fu'iit-l away in tho garret, a wave of the heavenly air resuscitat ed her forever. For everlasting years, to have neither ache nor paiu nor weakness nor fatigue. "ve ,1(t sovu jt( ear hath not beard it." I remark further that we can in this world get no just idea of the splendor of heaven. St. John tries to deserHo it. Ho says, iTh twelve gates an twelve pearls," and that ''the foundations of t!i walls are garnish" ! with all manner of precious stones."' As wo Maud looking through the telescopo of St. John we see a blaze of amethyst and pearl and emerald and sardonyx an. 1 chrysoprasuB ami sapphire, a mountain of light, a catar act of color, h sea of glass and a city like tho pun. St. John bids us look again, and we pea thrones thrones of the prophets, thrones of the patriarchs, thrones of the angels, thrones of the niostles,thronesof the martyrs, throne of Jesus, throueof God! And we turn round to see the glory, and it is thrones! Thrones! Thrones! St. John bids us look again, and we se t h e great p roc ?ssi o n o f t h i- i ee me 1 passi n g.

"Eye hath not seen it, ear hath not hearl it." I remark further we can get no idea on earth of tho reunions of heaven, if you have ever been a;ross the sea and met a friu1, or even an acquaintance, In some stri?e city, you remember how your blood thri! I and how glad vou were to see him. What, then, will be our joy, after wa have passed the .seas of death, to meet in the bright city of the sun those from w"iom we have long leen separated! After we have bven away from our friends ten or fifteen years, an t we come upon them, we sea how differently they look. The hair has turned. a:i t wrinkles have come in their faces, and w say. "Ho you have changed!' But, oh, when we staud before the throne, alt cares goii" from tha faee, all marks of sorrow dis appeared, and feeling the joy of that blessed lau i. mtbitiks we wi'l fay to each other, with an exubation we cannot now im nrine. '."How you have changed!" In this world we on'y nicrt to part. It is goo J by. goodby. Farewells floating in the air. AVe hear it at the rail car window and at th steamboat wharf. Goodby! Children lisp it. an 1 old ae answers it. Sometimes we say it iu a light way, "Goolby!" and sometimes with anguish in which the soul breaks down. Goodby! Ab. that Ls the word that ends the thanksgiving banquet; that is the word that comes in to close the Christ mas chant. Goodby! Goodby! Lut not eo in heaven. "Welcomes in the air. welcomes at the gate?, welcomes at the houe of many mansions but no goodby. That group is constantly being augmented. They are going up from our circles of earth to joiu it little voieen to join the anthem, little hands to take hold of it In the great home cirrle,little feet to dance in theeternal glee, little erown.s to Ikj cast down before the feet of Jesus. Our friends are in two groups a group this side of the river and a group on the other side of the river. Now there goes one from this to that, and another from this to tha an I soon we will all to gone over. H v many of your loved ones have already ent"re l upon that bless d pla-'e! If I should take paper and pencil, do you think I rou Id put them all down? Ah, my friends, the waves of Jordan roar so hoarsely wecan n t lcar the joy on the other side where their group is augmented. It is graves here an I coffins and hearses here. A little child's mother had died, and they comforted her. They said: "Your mother has gone to heaven. Don't cry," an I the next day they went to the graveyarJ, and they laid the body of the mother down into ground, and the little girl came tip to the verge of the grave, and looking down at the body of her moth"r said, "Is this heaven? ' Oh, we have, no idea what heaven is. It is the grave here. It is darkness here, but there is merry leaking yonder. Methinks when a soul arrives some angel takes it around to show it the wonders of that blessed place. The usher angel says to the newly arrived: "These are the martyrs that perished at Piedmont; these were torn to pieces at the inquisition; this is the throne of the great Jehovah; this is Jesus!" "1 am going to see Jesus," said a dying negro boy. "I am go ing to see Jesus," and the missionary said, 'You are sure you will see Him?" "Oh, yes. That's what I waut to go to heaven for." "Hut," said the miss.sonary, "suppose that Jesus should go away from heaven, what then?" "I should follow him." said the dying negro boy. "But if Jesus went down to hell, what then?" The dying boy thought for a moment, and then he said, "Massa, where Jesus is there can be no hell!" Oh, to stand in His presence! That will bo heaven! Oh, to put our hand in that hand which was wounded for us on the cross to go around amid all the groups of tho redeemed and shake hands with prophets and apostles and martyrs and with our own dear, beloved ones! That will be the great reunion. Ve cannot imagine it now, our loved ones seem po far away. When we are in trouble and lonesome, they don't seem to come to us. We go on the banks of the Jor dan and call across to them, but they don't seem to hear. We say: "Is it well with tho child? Is it well with the loved ones?" and wo listen to hear If any voire comes back over the water. Nonel None! Unbelief says, "They are dead and extinct forever," but, blessed be Ood, we have a Bible that tells us different. We open it and find that they are neither dead nor extinct; that they never were so much alive as now; that they aro only waiting for our coming, and that we 6hall join them on the other side of the river. Oh, glorious re union, wo cannot grasp it now! "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." I remark again, wo can in this world get no idea of the song or heaven. You know there is nothing more inspiriting than music. In the battle of Waterloo the Highlanders were giving way, and Wellington found out that the bands of music had ceased playing. He sent a quick dispatch, telling them to play with utmost spirit a battle march. The music started, the Highlanders were rallied, and they dashed on till the day was won. We appreciate the power of secular music, but do we appreciate the power of sacred song? There is nothing more inspir ing to me than n whole congregation lifted up on the wave of holy melody. When we sing some of those dear old psalms and tunes they rouse all tho memories of the past. Wliy, some of them were cradle songs in our father's house. They are all spark ling with the morning dew of a thousand Christian Sabbaths. . They were sung by brothers and sisters gone now, by voices that were aged and broken iu the music, voices none the less sweet because they did tremble and break. When I hear these old songs sung it seems as if all the oi l country meeting homes joined in the chorus, and Scotch kirk and sailor's Let he and Western cabins, until the whole continent lirts the doxology and tho scepters of eternity beat time to the music. Away then with your starveling tunes that chill the devotion of the sanctuary and make the people sit silent when Jesus Is coming to iiosanna. lint, my friends, if music on enrth Is so sweet, what will it be in heaven? They all know the tune there. Methinks the tune of heaven will bo made up partly from the pongs of earth, tho best parts of all our hymns ami tunes going to add to the song of Moses au l the Lamb. All the best singers of nil the ages will join it choirs of white rolod children. Choirs of patriarchs! Choirs of apostles! M orniug stars clapping their cymbals! Harpers with their harps! Great anthem of God roll on, r dl! on! Other em pires joining the harmony till the thrones are full of it and the Nations all saved. Anthem shall touch anthem, chorus join chorus, and all the sweet sounds of earth and heaven be poured into the ear of Christ. David of the harp will bo there. Gabriel of the trumpet will be there. Germany re deemed will pour its deep bass voic? into the song, and Africa will add to the music with her matchless voices. I wish we could anticipate that tfong. I wish in the closing hymns of the chnrehes to-lay we might catch an echo that slips from the gates. Who knows but that when lh heavenly door opens to- lay to bt some soul through ther may come forth the strain of h jubilant voices until we cat'-lt It? Oh. that us the song drops down from heaven it might meet half way a song coal ing un from earth' TIIK CHAIN GANG. Affecting the Population at the State Prison.

They looked very cool when there was a b eez?. 1 bis lml loan sleeve is no new thing, though I don't think they were tv r quite so large as they are now. The p op'.iet Ezoki-1 took a dis like to them about 2,000 years ao, for he says, Wo to the women who new pillows to their arinh'deB." '1 hey wi re sniffed, I reckon. Dut ltaiah made a ch ar sw-ep of all kinds of fash ions that, prevailed among those Hebrew wo men. II? proclaimed a enrso upon "the tink ling oriihjnt ii's about their feet, and their cauls and round-tiros 1 ihu the moon," ami the chains iiid brae .-let s and nm flier and bonnets and bend band and tablets and ear rings and changeable suits of apparel mid big ornaments and lings and those jewels and mantles and wimples ami curling pins and glasses and hooda ami vt-i's. Pretty hard on them, wasn't It? The poor cica'nres didn't have much left, not even a die k to change in when company came not a ring nor a nosegay. I renumber tbo.-e "round-tires like the moon," like the new moon when it is about three days old. I wore one when I was sweet sixteen. I was as trim and pretty as a girl and lisd to act a girl's part in a o'ay on the htage on commencement night. I was to be a fash ion ble young lady and Bill Maltbie or Jim Al exander. I've forgotton which one, was the dude. Some of tho girls made mo a lound liic, which was then called a bustle. All the women wore them, but I think mine wai a trifle larger than the average. It held a half peck of bran and made my hindgcar stick out a foot. As I wriggled about with my loug train dress a rude boy slipped np behind me and dropped a quid of tobacco on the bustle, which caused much laugher. That bustle was as big i s a big man's arm and tapered down at both ends, like the horns of the moon. Some women wore i hem nearly as large and the hnmp behind would have made a comfortable seat for a sma 1 boy. Sometimes the Etnfliug leaked and you could track the g rl all around town by the Iran she dropped. A town hog would keep fat on it. Sometimes they came untied and diopsad off, which was very mortifying. One dayl picked up one iu the store where I waa c'ering. 1 bung it up in sight, but I never could find the owner. But in course of time bustles went out and when the humps came b'ck again they were tu t made by that kind of wund-tii c, but luxdj of a st ff grass cloth :hat was crimped up and gave a mre graceful eh pe to the dr ssiug. It was a kind of dorsal cp-ulette and was bometinv s made of religious m wHpxpcrs, such as Tho Christian at Work or The Evangelist. I don't believe that the ladies la'e as much as they used bv I havent seen but ono girl in a long t me who excited my fears, and I am still concerned for fear she will break in to, right at tho coupling, or become uncoupled some of the o days. A good healthy-sized waist is ab solutely nece.spary to a healthy wife, and nobody but an id:ot w.uld marry a woman with a dirt-'au'-er bady. Nevi rtheless, I like to see women fixed up nicely with corsets on. In fact, with anything on save Mother Hnbbards. Speaking about theno old-time writers who were so hard upon women reminds me of a phill pic of Nathaniel Ward, the author of the 1 r-t code of MnFR&clmsetts law. He was a preacher, too, and riddled the fashionable wo men of that time after this fashion: "When I hear a nugiperous dame inquire what dress the q teen is in this week or what is tlit; l.le.luol'-, ..... ia.-m u l mt; c U. n nil,.. iu6 desire to be in it at all baste, I look upon her as the very gizzard of a trifle, tho proJuct of a quartrr of if cipher, the epitome of nothing; more titter to le kicked than honored or hu mored. S iin; of these women havo so little wit or virtue that they disfigure themselves with exotic garbs that dismantle their native luster and truiiMlout tl cm into grantbar geeec or illshapen, illshottcn shell fish or Egyp tian hieroglyphics or French flarts of th-,- pas t. ry. They wear draiks on the hinder part of their head-", having nothing on the forepart. I can make myself sick comparing the splendor in which our gentlewomen used to be dressed with the gut-foundr.'d goosedown wherewith th'V are now cnrrmied. When I see any of them rc itl nlallv I cannot cleanse mv fancy of iIh ni for a month afti r. I have been a widow f r ior twelve years an I purpo-c-d tolook around for a yoke fellow, but when I consider how these women have tr pewif -d themselves with their clodmi ntu it woiks sorely upon my stom ach. The tailors ought not to le led about by mc'i mimic Marsuoeets nor mske fiddle c i8 for fu'ilous women's fauce s the ieltitoe of infirmity the giblets of perquisquilian toys. I point m t mvpen at thoee women who follow fashion slowlv a flight h t uff but at those lighMie-ded I e .g'es that lead the chase these ape bra led pullets which invent antique fool fngbs merely for fashion's sake." 1 his ii only a t.ainple of his spleen. No won der be cnuldent tin I another woman who wonld marry him. No wonder his wife died young. Bnt if anybody wants to thoot rome more small shot at woman" fad and fashions and can't find lanKiiag- enough in the dietionarv, let them rea I Ward on "The Frivolities of Fash ion," but lookout for lockjaw.
