If t'uis be tiae, tiisn how wick-d is mm

of sm 111 thos" days in denouncing tiio
weather. Ministers of the Gospel sometimes

fact tiiat tiie same Go 1 who or lamed trio
Ssbbnh an 1 sent forth h:s miuistars to an
nounce salvation also ordame 1 the weather.
"H ita th- ram a father?''
Merchants, ols , with th.-lr stores fiilel
witn nerv g,ijs, an i their cler.is hanging
idly around the cunters. commit the aam-j
traDgi '--s. on. There have bean seaoos when
the whole spring and fail trade hap Seen
ruiued by protracted wet woathei. The
merchants then examine 1 the ''weather
pr jbabilitie-" -v.th more lnrerest than they
read th. ir Bibles. Tney watched for a
patch of blue sy. They went complaining
to the store and came conplaitiin f home
again. In all that season of wet foet and
dripping garments and impassable streets
they never once asked the question, "Hath
the rain a father'"
So aencultui i-ti commit this sin. There
is nothing more annoying ttau to have
planted corn rot iu the ground because of
too much moisture, or nay nil ready for th"
mow dashed Of a shower, or wheat almost
ready for ths sickle spoiled with tin rust,
How hard it 13 to bear the ar?: ieultural dis
appointments Ood has inri iite resources,
but I do not thinlt He has capacity to iaakj
weather to please all the farmers. Some
times it is too hot, or it is too cold, it is too
wet, or it is tiK dry; it is too early, or it is
too late. They forget that the Go i w ho
promised seed time and harvest, summer and
winter, cold and heat, also ordained all c.i
matic changes. There is oue question that
ought to be written on every baru, on every
fence, on every haystack, on every farm
house. "Hath the ram a father?"
It v-.u only knew what avast, enterprise
it is to proeide appropriate weather tor this
wcrid e wou.d not tie so critical of the Lord.

that were better. Now, I say to vou it vou
do not Ilk-1 the w-ather get uo a weather

have a cloud always hovering over him.
I like t bo sunshine; I cannot live without
plenty of sunlight, so you must always have
enough light for me. Two ships meet in
mid-Atlantic. The one is going to South
ampton and the other is coming to INew
York. Provide weather that, while it is
abaft for one ship, it is not a head wind for
the other. There is a farm that is drid up
for th3 lack of rain, and there is a pleasure
pnrtr going out for a held excursion, b r
vide weather that will suit the dry farm and
theplea-ure excursion. No. airs, I will not
take one dollar of stock in your weather
company. There is only one Being in the
universe who knows enough to provide the
r.ght km I of w either for this world. "Hath
the rain a father'"
My text a'.a su tgests Go I'a minute super
viaaf. You see the divine Son-hip in every
drop of rain. The jewels o' the shower are
not flung away by a spen.ithritt who knows
not how many hft throws or where they tab.
They are all shining princes of heaven.
They all havj eternal lineage. They
are all trio children of a king. "Hath the
rain a father?" Well, then, I say if Go I
takes notice of every minute raindrop He
will take notic of the most insigniricaut
niT.iir of my life. It is the astronomical
v.ew of thinirs tiiat bothers me.
U'e look up into the night heavens, and
we say, "Worlds1 Worlds I" and how insig

teaches the doctrine, give us a secular booh,
ai. i let us. as the taaioas Mr. Fox, the mem-be.-of
parliament in his last hoar, cry out:
""ilea i m ; the eighth book of Virgil.''
Jh : my frienis, let us rouse up to an ap
preciation ot the fact that all the affairs of
our life are under a king's command and un
der a father's watch. Alexander's war
hors, Bucephalus, would allow anybody to
in mnt him when he was unharne-sei, but. as
,0311 as they put on that w ar horse, Bucepha
lus, the sa Idle and trappings of tho con
queror he would allow no one but Alexander
to touch him. And if a soulless horse could
have so much pride in his owner, shall not
we immortals exult in the fact that we aro
ow ned by a king? "Hath the rain a father""'
Again my subject teaches me that Cod's ,
dealings with us are inerplioable. That was I
tha original for of my text. The rain was
a great Aystery to tbe ancients. They could

And they tells us that some of the clouds
that look to bo only as large as a man's hand,
and to be aim st quiet in the heavens, ars
great mountains of mist four thousan 1 feet
from ba.se to t"p. and that they rush miles a
minute.
Hut after all the brilliant experiments of
Pr James Hu'toii. an 1 Xaussur-. and other
scientists, there is an nilinite i:ij--t-ry about
the ran'. There is atl ocan of the unfath
omable in every r am lr.41, and (iod says to
day ns He sai 1 in the time of Job, "ff you
cannot 1111 Ur.-'ati 1 drop of rain, do not
he surprise I if My dealings wit') von are in
explicable. ' hy does that aged man, de
crepit, beggared, vicious, sick of the world,
and the world sick of him, live on, while
here is a man in mid life, consecrated to
God, hard working, useful in every respect,
who dies? Why does that old gossip, gad
ding along the streetabout everybody's busi
ness but her own, have 9uch good health,
while the Christian mother, with a flock nf
little ones about her whom she is preparing
for usefulness an 1 for heaven the mother
who you think could not be spared an hour
from that household why does she lie down
an 1 die with a cancer?
Why dees that man, se'fish to the core, go
on adding fortuii3 to fortune, consuming
everything on himself, continue to prosper,
w tide that man. who has b.-en giving ten per
cent, of all Ins income t Cad and the church,
goes into ba n k ra ptcy v Before we mako
s'Mi'l; tool of r-ui-selve, let us stop pressing
tins everla-tinf "why.' L 't us worship
w .iere we cannot Understand. Iet a man
take that one question, "Why?" and follow
it far enough, and push it, and he will land
in wretchedness and perdition. We waut in
our theology fewer interrogation marks and
more exclamation points. Heaven is the
place for explanation. Earth is the place for
trust. If you cannot understand so minuto
a tiling as a rain Irop, how can you expect
to uii lerstand God's dealings? "Hath tha
rain a father?''
Again, my text make- me think that tha
rain of tears is of divine origin . Great
clouds of trouble sometimes hover over us
Th-y are black, au 1 thev are gorged, and
t'.iey are thunlerou. They are more por
tentious than Salvator or Claude ever
paiuted clouds of poverty, or persecution,
or breavement. They hover over us, and
they "get darker and blacker, and after
awhile a tear starts, and we think by art
extra presure of the eyelid to stop it. Oth
ers foliow, and after awhile there is a show
er of teart ul emotion. Yea, there is a rain
of tears. "Hath that rain a father?''
"Ob," you say. "a tear is nothing but a
drop of limpid fluid secreted by the lach
rymal gland it is only a sign of weak eyes."
Great mistake. It is ona of the Lord's rich
est benedictions to the world. There &re
people in Blackwell's Island insane asylum,
and at L'tica, and at all the asylums of this
land, who were dementei by tho fact that
they could not cry at the right time. Said
a maniac in one of our public institutions,
under a gospel sermon that started the tears
"lb you s that tear? that is the first I
have wept for twelve years. I think it will
help my orain.''
There are a great many in the grave who
could not stand any longer under the glacier
ot trouble. If that glacier had only melted
into weeping they could have endured it.
There have been times in your life when you
would have given the world, if you had pos
sessed it. for one tear. You could shriek,
you could blaspheme, but you could not cry.
Have you never seen a man holding the hand
or a dead wife, who had been all the world
to him? The temples livid with excitement,
the eye dry an 1 frantic, no moisture on the
u-iper or lower ii I. You saw there wore
boits of auger in the cloud, but no rain. To
your Christian comfort, he said, "Don't
talk to me about Go I; there is no God, or if
there is 1 hate Him: don't talk to me about
Go I ; woul 1 He have left me and these mother

Put a few h -iiirs or days afttr, coming
across o no lea 1 pencil that she owned iu
life, or s irm letter . which she wrote when
he was away from hom, with an outcry that
appals, there bursts the fountain of tears,
and as the sunlight Of God's consolation
strikes tli it fountain of tear.--, you find out
t hat it is a tonder-hearte 1, merciful, pitiful
anl al cmpas-ionato God who was the
l ather of that ram. "Oh,'' you say, "it is
absurd to think that God is going to watch
over teirs." No, my friends. There ara
thre" or four kiu isof them that God counts,
bottles r.n 1 eternizes. First, there are all
par.iital Uars, anj there ara mora of these
than any other kind, because the most of
tne race lie in infancy, and that keeps pa
rents mourning all around the world. They
never get over it. They may live to shout
and f.ir: afterward, but there is always a
corridor in th' soul that is silent, though it
ence reacuii iod.
My parents never mentione I the death of a
child w ho died fifty years beforo without a
tremor in the voice aud a sigh, oh, how deep
let -ihod 1 It was belter she should die. It was
n m-Tcy she should die. She would have
betm a li.'elong invalid, Butyou cannot argue
r.-i-.ay a parent' grief. How often you hear
them-au: "Oh. my child, my child w Then
there are the filial tears. Little: children soon
get over the loss of parents. They are easily
diverted with a new- toy. But where is the
man that has come to thirty or forty or fifty
years of aje, who can think of the old peo
ple without having all tbe fountains of his
soul stirred up? Yoa may have had to take'
care of her a good many ye'.rs, but you
never can forget how she used to take care
of you.
There have been many sea captains con
vened in our church, and tbe peculiarity of
them was that they were nearly all prayed
as'joreby their mothers, though the mothers
went into the dust soon after they went to
s?a. Have you never heard an old man in
delirium of some sickness call for his mother?
The fact is we get so used to catling for her
the first ten years of our life we never get
ovar it, and when she goss away from us it
makes deep sorrow You sometimes, per
haps, in days of trouble and darkness, when
the world would say, "You ought to be able
to take care of yourselP' you wake up from
your dreams finding yourself saying, "Oh,
mother I mother!" Have these tears no di
vine origin? Why, ta'te all the warm hearts
that ever beat in all lands, and in all ages,
and put them together and their united throb
w-ould be weak compared with the throb of
God's eternal sympathy. Yes, God also is
father of ail that rain of repentance.
Did you ever see a rain of repentance?
you know what It Is that makes a mau re
pent? I see people going arouDd trying to
repent. They cannot repent. Do you know
no man can repent until God helps him tc
repent? How do I know? By this passage,
"Him hath God exalte! to be a prince and a
Saviour to give repentance." Oh, it is a tre
mendous hour when one wakes up and says:
"I am a bad man. I have not sinned against
the laws of the land, but I have wasted my
life; God asked me for my services and I
haven't given those services. Oh, my sins;
Go I forgive me." When that tear starts it
thrills all heaven. An angel cannot keep his
eyes off it, and the church of God assembles
around, and there is a commingling of tear.a,
nn 1 Go l is the Father of the rain, the Lord,
long suffering, merciful and gracious.
In a religious assemblage a man arose and
sai l: 'T have b"!en a very wicked man; I
broke my mother's heart. I became an infl
de', but I have seen my evil way, and I have
surrendered my heart to God, but it is a
gri"f that I never can get over that my
parents should never have heard of my sal
vation; I don't know whether they are living
or dead ." Whd " he was yet standing in the
au lieuc-j a voice Iran the gallery said, "Oh.
my son, my son I" He looked up and he rec
ognized h.r. it was his old mother She
had lit'- ', praying for him a great many
years, and when at the foot of the cross the
prodigal son au I th praying mother em
brace 1 each o'hei', there was a rain, a tre
mendous rain, of tears, nn l God was the
Father of these tears. Oil, that God would

As Good ns His Master.
A graduate of the Pennsylvania rail
road school of manners was conductor
on nne nf tlie limited trains between
New York and Washington the other
night. When he entered the first coach
he fmi nd it crowded, and in one of the
seat.s upon the left was a young man
perhaps it would be more correct to say
a young person of the masculine gen
der. Ho was well dn.s'scl. ari,l reading

of laughter of the entire car.
Where Women Rule.
As a rule the Indian women of Boli
via are superior to their lords in intelli
gence and earn the larger shareof their
mutual support. Being the older of the
two, she is naturally the head of the
house, and is more likely to thrash her
dutiful spouse thitn be is to misuse her.
In the markets where farm prod net are
disposed of, she can drive a better bar
gain than he; she can carry as heavy
burdens, endure as much manual labor,
chew a? much cocoa and drink as much
alcohol.
The Indians have little or no money,
their mediumsof exchange being what
ever they may raise, or the labor of
their hands. They w ill eat whvn tmt
hungry, drink when not thirsty, s'eep
when nut sleepy, anywhere and any
time when opportunity offers, "against
the time of need,'' as they say. Tho
majority are in a State of semi-intoxication
from babyhood to the grave, alcohol
being u-ed on every pretext, freely as
their means will allow, on accasions of
births, deaths and feast days the latter
occurring nearly every day in the year.
They are social creatures and not at
ail inclined to live alone; hence their
houses are always iu groups, and a com
munity of them, though numbering not
mere than a half dozen, is called an es
tancia. In the interior of Bolivia, ifan
Indian desires to change his place of
re idence he is not allowed to settle
n another village un il the nut . ri i s
t e ed have loooked into his r.vat3
h story, when, if th? record is
n t satisfactory, he is 1 rdjred to
move on. But that seldom happens,
fur they are like cats in their attach
ment to places, and will cultivate the
same bit of poor land from generati n
ti ' g mei-ation, though barely able to
k'teo body and soul together.
A J te I hat Failed.
An excellent story is told of Professor
Hogers and I'octor K. W. Dale. These
two gentlemen were giving a series of
lectures, and at every town which they
visited. Doctor Dale noticed that his
colleague, who always spoke first, made
the same speech. In fact, so often did
the pK fessor give that speech that the
worthy doctor knew it off by heart, and
this fact led the latter to think of away
of taking the wind out of his friend's
sails.
On their arrival at a certain town,
Doctor Dale asked Doctor Hogrs to
allow lrm to speak first, an arrange
ment to which the latter readily agreed ;
so Doctor Dale rose and proceeded to
deliver the speech of Doctor Rogers,
looking every now and then with the
corner of his eye to see how that worthy
gentleman was taking this practical
joke. Doctor Rogers sat calm and com
posed, and when at length his turn
came lo speak, he just as calmly rose
and delivered, to Doctor Dale's utter
astonishment, quite u new speech.
At the conclusion of the meeting Dr.
Dale said to bis colleague:
"I thought I had taken the wind out
of your sails to-night."
Doctor Rogers replied,
"Oh, no! I delivered that speech when
I was here a month ago."
Very Sticky.
A New York gentleman, recently back
from a trip to the West, was telling
some of his friends at the club about
his adventure with a gang of highway
men in Kansas. According to his own
version of the affair, he played a very
brave part so brave, indeed, that- the
robbers, well Armed as they were, were
soon glad to get away in the darkness.
He would have pursued them, hut it
was raining, and the mud was horrible.
When asked why he did not get ollicers
and follow the thieves the next day be
replied that he did; that is to say; he
tried to do so, but could not find the
trail.
"Why, how was that?" asked one of
tb.c listeners. ' I thought you snid it
was horribly muddy. The robbers
mu.-t have left tracks enough to guide
you."
"So it would seem," answered the
hero cf the story; "hut you see, the
mud out there is so sticky that the ras
cals' tracks stuck fast to their feet, and
thev cirried them away with them."
A I.eltor on a Post; ge-Stamp.
When the Postmaster in a little coun
try otliee opened his mail bag one day
a "single uncancelled postage-stamp fell
out. He looked among the letters to
see if the stamp had come from one of
them, but they were all right. Then
be examined the stamp to see if the
stain 1
1 was still on it. He found tnat ;
I. F. had exercised her ingenuity
trained her eyesight by writing n
Mrs
and
letter on the back of tne stamp. yn '
one edge was a small margin of white

Ihe Pool or Celhesda Found.
An interesting discovery found in
Palestine during the present year is that
of the ancient pool of Bethesda, whicli
has hitherto been confounded with the
Birket Israel. Recent excavations of
the Algerine monks under Ihe ruins of
the old Crusader Church of St. Anne
at Jerusalem have laid bare two rock
hewn wells containing water, which
have been repeatedly built over. These
correspond with the descriptions of
Bethesda as given by the fathers of the
church and the pilgrim-of the fourth
centurv.

Pellets have done their work.
It's a healthy movement, too
-a Tiatural one. The organs
are not forced into activity
one day, to sink back into a
worse state the next. They're
cleansed and regulated mild
ly and quietly, without wrench
ing or griping. One tiny,
sugar-coated Pellet is all that's
needed as a gentle laxative;
three to four act as a cathar
tic. They're the smallest,
cheapest, the easiest to take.
Sick Headache, Bilious Head--ache,
Constipation, Indigestion.
Bilious Attacks, and all de
rangements of the Liver,

promptly relieved and cured.
