BET. DR. TALlSGE The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun- day Sermon. Subject: "A Great Wonfrao Text: "And it fell on a lay pasxfxl to Shunem, inhere teas man." II Kings iv.. 8. that Elixha great wo- The hotel of our tim had no Counterpart in any entertainment of olden time. The vast majority of travelers must Ithen be en tertained at private abode. Here comes Elisha. a servant of the Lord, on a divine mission, and he must find shelter. A bal cony overlooking the valley Esdraelon is of fered him in a private house, and it is es pecially furnished for his occupancy a chair tosit on, a table from which to ear. a candle stick by which to read and a bed 6n which to slumber the whole establishment belonging to a great and good woman. Her husband, it seems, was a ?odly man. but he was entirely oversbadoved by his wife's excellencies, just as now you some times And in a household the wife the centre of dignity and influence and porer, not by any arrogance or presumption but by superior intellect and force of moral nature wielding domestic affairs and at the same time supervising all financial and business affairs, the wife's hand on the shuttle, on the banking house, on the worldly business. You see hundreds of men who are successful only because there is a reason at home why they are successful. If a man marry a good, honit soul, he makes his fortune. If he marry a fool, the Lord help him I The wife may bf i the silent partner in the firm, there may be only masculine voices down on exchange, but there oftentime comes from the home circle a potential and elevating influence. This woman of my text was the superior of her husband. He, as lar as I cun under stand, was what we often see in our day a man of large fortune and only a modicum of brain, intensely quiet, sitting a long while in the same place without moving hj nd or foot if you say "yes," responding "yes ; if you say "no," responding "no" Inane, eyes half shut, mouth wide open, maintaining his position in society only because he has a Jarge patrimony. But his wife, my text says, was a great woman. J Her name has not oome down tc us. She belonged to that collection ot people who need no name to distinguish them. What would title of duchess or princess or queen what would escutcheon or gleaming diadem be to this woman of my text. who. by her intelligence and hier behavior, challenges the admiration of all ages? Long after the bril liant women of the court of Louis XV have been forgotten, and the brilliant women ot the court of Spain have been forgptten, and the brilliant women who sat on mighjty thrones have been forgotten, some grandfather will put on his spectacles, and holding the book the other side the light read to his grandchil dren the story of this great woman of Shu nem who was so kind and courteous and Christian to the good prophet Elisiha. Yes. she was a great woman. ' In the first place, she was great in her hospitalities. Uncivilised and fcjarbarious nations honor this Virtue. Jupiter had the surname of the hospitable, and ha was said especially to avenge the wrongs at strang ers. Homer exalted it in his verse. The Arabsare punctilious upon this 'subject, and among some of their tribes it is not until the ninth day of tarrying that the occupant has a right to ask his guest, ".Who and whence art thou?" If this virtue is so hon ored even among barbarians, how ought it to be honored among those of uswha believe in the Bible, which commands us to use hos pitality one toward another witho it grudg ing? Of course I do not mean under fiis cover to give any idea that I approve of that va grant class who go around from place to place ranging their whole lifetime perhaps under the auspices of some benevolent or philanthropic society, quartering ti emselves on Christian families, with a great pile of trunks in the hall and carpetbugportjentous of tarrying. There is many a country parson age that looks out week by week upon the ominous arrival of wagon with creaking wheel and lank horse and dilapidated driver, come under the auspices of some charitable institution to spend a few weeks ana canvass the neighborhood Let no such' religious tramps take advantage of this beau if ul vir tue of Christian hospitality. Not so much the sumptuousnes of your diet and the regality qt your abode will im press the friend or the stranger th at steps across your threshold as the warmth of your greeting, the Informality of your reception, the reiteration by grasp and by lookfand by a thousand attentions, insignificant attentions, of your earnestness of welcome. There will be high appreciation of your welcome, although you have nothing but the brazen andlestick and the plain chair to offer Elisha ben he comes to Shunem. Most beautiful is this grace of hospitality when shown in the house of God. I am thankful that I am pastor of a church where strangers are always welcome, and there is not a State in the Union in which I pave not beard the affability of the ushers of our church complimented. But I have entered churches were there was no hospitality. A stranger would stand in the vestibule for awhile and then make pilgrimage up the Jong aisle. No door opened to h m until, flushed and excited and embarrassed, he started back again, and coming tosc me halt filled pew with apologetic air er tered it, while the occupants glared on him with a look which seemed to say. "Well, ifj I must, I must." Away with such accursed in decency from the house of God ! Let every church that would maintain large Christian Influence in community culture Sabbath by Sabbath this beautiful grace,of Chrisi ian hos- pitaiity. A good man traveling in the far west, in tne wilderness, was overtaken by n crht and storm, and he put in at a cabin. He fcaw fire arms along the beams of the cabin t and he felt alarmed. He did not know but that he had fallen into a den of thieves. , He sal there greatly perturbed. After athile the man of the house came home with a his shoulder and set it down in i gun on corner. The stranger was still more alarmed After awhile the man of the house whispeied with ms wife, and the stranger thought struction was beins? planned. his de- 1 hen the man ot the house came forward and said to the stranger : "Stransret. we are a rough and rude people out here, and we work hard for a living. We make our living by hunting, and when we come to th e night fall we are tired, and we are apt to go to bed early, and before retiring we re always in the habit of reading a chapter from, the word of God and making a prayer. If you don't like such things, if you will just step outside the door until we get through I'll be greatly obliged to you." Of course tne strai lger tar ried in the room, and the old nun er took hold of the horns ot the altar and brought down the blessing of God upon his house hold and upon the stranger with n their gates. Rude but glorious Christian hospi tality ! Again, this woman in my text was great in her kindness toward God's messenger. Elisha may have been a stranger in that nous hold, but as she found Out "he had come on a divine mission he was cordially welcome. We have a great many books in our day alout the hardships of ministers and the trials of Christian ministers. I wish somebody would write a book about the joys of the Christian minister about the sympathies all around him. about the kindnesses, about the genial eon si derations of him. loe sorrow come to our home and is there a shadow on the cradle, there are hundreds of hands to help, and many who weary not through the long night watching, and hun dreds or prayers going up that God would restore the sick, is there a burning, brim ming cup. of calamity placed on the pastor s table, are there not many to help him to drink of that cup and who will not be com forted because he is stricken? Oh, for some body to write a book about the rewards of the Christian minister about his surround ings of Christian sympathy. This woman of the text was only a type ol thousands of men and women who come down from the mansion and from the cot to do kindness to the Lord's servants. I sup pose the men of 8hunem had to pay the bills, but it was the large hearted Christian sympa thies of the women of Shunem that looked after the Lord's messenger. Again, this woman in the text was great in her behavior under trouble. Her only son had died on her lap . A very bright light went out in that household. The sacred writer puts it very tersely when he says. Tie sat vii ner Knee? until noon, and then he died." Yet the writer jroes on to say that she exclaimed, "It is well !" Great in prosperity, this woman was great in trouble. Where are the feet that have not been blis tered on the hot sands of this great Sahara? Where are the shoulders that have not been bent under the burden of grief? Where is the ship sailing over glassy sea that has not after awhile been caught in a cyclone? Where is the garden ot earthly comfort but trouble hath hitched up its flerv and panting team and gone through it with burning plowshare of disaster? Under the pelting of ages of suffering the great heart of the world has burst with woe. Navigators tell us about the rivers, and the Amazon and the Danube and the Mississippi have been explored, but who can tell the depth or length of the great river of sorrow made up of tears and blood rolling through all lands and all ages, bearing the wreck of families and of communities and of empires foaming, writhing, boiling with the agon ies of 6000 years? Etna and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius have been described, but who has ever sketched the volcano of suffering reach ing up from its depths the lava and the scoria and pouring them down the sides to whelm the nations? Oh, if I could gather all the heartstrings, the broken heartstrings, into a harp I would play on it a dirge such as was never sounded. Mythologists tell us of Gorgon and Cen taur and Titan, and geologists tell us of ex tinct species of monsters, but greater than Gordon or megatherium, and not belonging to the realm of fable, and not of an extinct species, is a monster with iron jaw and iron hoofs walking across the nations, and his tory and poetry and sculpture, in their at tempt to sketch it and describe it, have seemed to sweat great drops of blood. But, thank God, there are those who can conquer as this woman of the text conquered and say "It is well ! Though my property be gone, though my children be gone, though my home be broken up, though my health be sacrificed, it is well, it is well !" There is no storm on the sea but Christ is ready to rise in the hinder part of the ship and hush it. There is no darkness but the constella tions of God's eternal love can illumine it, and though the winter comes out of the northern sky you have sometimes seen the northern sky all ablaze with auroras that seem to say: "Come up this way. Up this way are thrones of light, and seas ot sap phire, and the splendor of an eternal heaven. Come up this way." We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous depths, but cannot le lost. Though satan enrage the wind and the tide. Toe promise assures us the Lord will provide. I heard an echo of my text in a very dark hour, when my father lay dying, and the old country minister said to him, "Mr. Talmage, how do you feel now as you are about to pass the Jordan of death?" He replied and it was the last thing he ever said "I feel well ; I feel very well ; all is well," lifting his hand in a benediction, a speechless benediction, which I pray God may go down through all the generations. It is well ! Of course it was well. Again, this woman of my text was great in her application to domestic duties. Everv picture is a home picture, whether she is entertaining an Elisha, or whether she is giv ing careful attention to her sick boy, or whether she is appealing for the restoration of her property every picture in her case is a home picture. Those who are not disci ples of this Shunemite woman who. going I out to attend to outside charities, neglect the ciuty oi nome tne duty of wife, of mother, of daughter. No faithfulness in public ben efaction can ever atone for domestic negli gence. There has been many a mother who by in defatigable toil has reared a large family of children, equipping them for the duties of life with good manners and large intelli gence and Christian principle, starting them 1 out; who has done more for the world than many another woman whose name has sounded through all the lands and ali the centuries. I remember when Kossuth was in this country there were some ladies who got reputations by presenting him very grace fully with bouquets of flowers on public oc casions, but what was all that compared with the work of the plain Hungarian mother who gave to truth and civilization and the cause of universal liberty a Kossuth? Yes. this woman of my text was great in her simplicity. When the prophet wanted to reward her for her hospitality by asking some prefer ment from the king, what did she say? She declined it. She said : "I dwell anions? my own people," as much as to say "I am satisfied with my lot. All I want is my family and my friends around me. I dwell j among my own people." Oh. what a rebuke to the strife for precedence In all ages ! I How many there are who want to get great architecture and homes furnished with all art, all painting, all statuary, who have not enough taste to distinguish between gothic and byzantine, and who could not tell a figure in plaster of Paris from Palmer's "White Captive,' and would not know a boy's penciling from Bierstadt's "Yosemite" men who buy large libraries by the square foot, buying these libraries when they have hardly enough education to pick out the day of the almanac ! Oh, how many there are striving to have things as well as their neighbors, or better than their neighbors, and in the strug gle vast fortunes are exhausted and business firms thrown into bankruptcy, and men of reputed honesty rush into astounding for geries. Of course I say nothing against refinement or culture. Splendor of abode, sumptuous ness of diet, lavishness in art, neatness in ap parel there is nothing against them in the Bible or out of the Bible. God does not want us to prefer mud hovel to English cot tage, or untanned sheepskin to French broadcloth, or husks to pineapple, or the clumsiness of a boor to the manners of a gentleman . God, who strung the beach with tinted shell and the grass of the field with the dews of the night and hath exquisitely tinged morning cloui and robin red breast, wants us to keep our eye open to all beauti ful sights, and our ear open to all beautiful cadences, and our heart open to all elevating sentiment. But what I want to impress upon ?ou Is that you ought not to inventory th uxuries of life as among the indtspensables, and you ought not to depreciate this woman of the text, wdo, when offered kingly prefer ment, responded, "I dwell among my own people." Yes, this woman of the text was great in her piety, faith In God, and she was not ashamed to talk about it before idolaters. Ah. woman will never appreciate what she owes to Christianity until sae knows and ses ths degradation of her sex under paganisai and Mahommedanism. Her very birth considered a misfortune. Sold like cattle in the sham bles. Slave of all work, and at last her body fael for the funeral pyr of her husband. Above the shriek of the fire worshipers in India and above the rumbling of the jugger nauts I hear the million voice i groan of wronged, insulted, broken hearted, down trodden woman. Her tears have fallen in the Nile and Tigris and the La Plata an I on the steppes of Tartary. She has been dishon ored in Turkish garden and Persian p ilac and Spanish Alhambra. Her little onus have been sacrificed in the Ganges. There is not a groan, or a dungeon, or an islani. or a mountain, or a river, or a sea but could tall a story of the outrages neaped upon her. But. thanks to Goi, this glorious Chris tianity comes forth, and all the chain? oi this vassalage are snapp9d. an i she risasuo from ignominy to exilted sphere and be comes the affectionate daughter, the gentle wife, the honored mother, the useful Chris tian. Ob, if Christianity has doui so much for woman, surelj woman will beeojie its most ardent advocate ani its suolimest exemplification ' When I come to speak ot womanly influ ence, my mind always wanders off to one model the aged one who, 27 years ago. we put away for the resurrection. About 87 years ago. and just before their marriage day. my father and mother stood up in the old meeting house at Somerville. N. J.. and took upon them the vows of the Christian. Through a long life of vicissitude she lived harmlessly and usefully and came to her end in peace. No child of want ever came to her door and was turned empty away. No one in sorrow came to her but was comforted. No one asked her the way to be saved but she pointed him to the cross. When the an?el of life came to a neighbor's dwelling, she was there to rejoice at the starting of an other immortal spirit. When the angel of death came to a neighbor's dwelling, stv I was thereto robe the departed for the burial. We had often heard her, when leading family prayers in the absence of my father, say, "O Lord. I ask not for my children wealth or honor, but I do ask that they all may be the subjects of Thy comforting grace !" Her 11 children brought into the kingdom of God. she had but one more wish, and that was that she might see her long absent mis sionary son, and when the ship from China anchored in New York harbor and the long absent one passed over the threshold of his paternal home she said, '"Now, Lord, lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen the salvation." The prayei was soon answered. It was an autumnal day when we gathered from afar and found only the house from which the soul had fled forever. She looked very natural, the hands very much as when they were employed in kindness for her children. Whatever else we forget, we never forget the look of mother's hands. As we stood there by the casket we could not help but say. "Don't she look beautiful?"' It was a cloudless day when, with heavy hearts, we carried her out to the last resting place. The withered leaves crumbled under hoof and wheel as we passed, and the sun shone on the Raritan River until it looked like fire ; but more calm and beautiful and radiant was the setting sun of that aged pil grim's life. No more toil, no more tears, no more sickness, no more death. Dear mother J Beautiful mother ! Sweet is the slumber beneath the sod, While the pure spirit rests with God. " I need not go back and show you Zenobia or Semiramis or Isabella or even the woman of the text as wonders of womanly excellence or greatness when I in this moment point to your own picture gallery of memory, and show you the one face that you remember so well, and arouse all your holy reminiscences, and start you in new consecration to God by the pronounciation of that tender, beautiful, glerious word. "Mother, mother!" Are the Oceans Drying Up? Sir Isaac Newton surmised, al though he could give no reason for the conclusions he had reached, that in the course of time the earth would become pexfeectiy dry. Others, most notably De Verne, Hamilton (Prof. A. L.), and the younger Lysander, all believed that eventually the earth would become as dry as Ihe proverbial chip. Even in this day and age the theory has many adherents. At a re cent meeting of the French Geologi cal Society, M. Transchold, of Mos cow, Russia, read a paper entitled, "Non-Invariability of the Level of the Ocean." It terminates with the fol lowing curious and interesting con clusions: 1. In proportion as certain parts of the earth's crust rise from the bottom of the sea above its level the latter must be lowered. 2. The surfaces of nearly ali the continents and islands have at one time formed portions of the ocean's floor. They have risen from the wa ter partly because of the retreat of the waters. 3. As continents are formed, one part of the waters of the seas is transported to them in the form of lakes, rivers, eternal snows, glaciers, and organized substances. Owing to these actions, the waters of the oceaps have been constantly dimin ishing and their levels lowered cor respondingly. 4. In proportion as the earth cools down, ice accumulates at the i;oles and on the ixjps of mountains; water is taken mo-re deeply into the surf .ice of the terrestrial crust, the forma tion of hydrated minerals being man ifested everywhere. The result of these conclusions i3 that since all the water that ever ex isted may still exist in the form of perpetual Ice, snow, hydrated min erals, etc., the waters of all oceans have been gradually disappearing, and that the lowering of the oceans is going on even at the present day, and faster, perhaps, than ever be fore. It is bad enough to break party ties, but it isn't half so embarrassing as to have them work around under your ears. Texas Sif tings. FOR TILE FAIR SEX. CORIT STABCH AJiD PCWDKR. Every season tfce yrcng woman vyho assume jrreat superiority to her kind brs&usa ihe doesn't use powder, but merely corn starch,'' .appears upon the scene." Ther is no more Tirtue in corn starch than in well-selected powders. It does not contain mineral substances injurious to the skin, as some cheap powders do, but it has exactly the same effect in clogging the pores of the skin. It is, moreover, somewhat coarser than the best powders prepared for the face, and is, therefore, not quite so soothing. If women must powder let them buy a good, simple face powder and use it as lightly as possible. And let them re member to wash their faces very care fully with hot water after using it, in order to clear and open the pores of the skin. St. Louis Star-Sayings. NEWEST OUTCOME IX HOLLAND. The brown holland suit, though popu lar several years ago, was never pretty in itself nor becoming to its wearer unless her complexion was youthful and beyond reproach. Still, in point of cut, it was superior to the newest outcome in holland. This has a skirt extremely wide around the hem, standing away from the feet on the front and sides. A pleated trimming divides the slfirt mid way of its length. The coat is shorter than an Eton jacket, so as to reveal a bit of 'the blouse bodice all around. This jacket has revers out of proportion to its size, and these, as a rule, are over laid with linen gimp. Anything better calculated to cut up the figure cannot well be supposed. New York Post. USES OF PENNYROYAL. Sprinkle a palm leaf fan with penny ioyal extract or the oil of pennyroyal, diluted a little, and not a mosquito will dare approach you as you sit on the porch. The pennyroyal plant, like the johuswort and the tansy, should be gathered and hoarded like gold, being careful not to tear them up by the roots, so that more will grow. Both of the former come out of the ground, too easily for the gatherer, so take your scissors along when you go hunting them. Pennyroyal, although far too burning to be applied undiluted to the skin, reminds us of Shakepeare's saying: "Like parmaceti for an open wound." It salves a wound before you get it by keeping away the noisy little winged lancet and blood sucker. The mosquito hates the smell of it, and you can easily run all such invaders away. New York Advertiser. PAINTING WITH THE NEEDLE. An authority on needle painting says of embroidered roses: "An artist in em broidery does not stop at embroidery silk for color. Whatever she feels she needs in her work she must find in some way, when it is impossible to get it by mixing colors or in the regular grades of any of the different makes or dyes. Sometimes a color is too bright; wash it and hang it in the sun for days and it will soften. Ravel dress silks, ribbons, any material that has the color. Furni ture textiles often have charming colors that can not be found anywhere else. To be sure, these will not do to work a whole leaf or petal, but they will serve admirably for shading or touching in places. Another rule for the good work woman is to employ more than one kind of silk. Use filoselles or filo-floss, as well as Roman floss and twist floss this last being for turnovers, which, if well done, give beauty, depth and ex pression to rose work. Some of the Dacca silks are exquisite in coloring, but they must be split, and as they are twisted it leaves a little crinkle, which is not objectionable in a leaf. It is well, also, to remember, after your roses are finished, whether merely a spray or mass of roses, a day's work in touching up must be done. To do this the piece should be fastened up about as a picture is placed, and examined. Take it down, put a stronger touch in a bud, a darker shade in a petal, deepen the heart or raise a turnover, or shade it." THE MUSIC MYTH. By the "music myth" we mean the old-fashioned idea that a young woman's education is not complete unless she can perform on the pianoforte or some other musical instrument at least well enough to accompany her own voice in song. There is reason to believe that this myth is going out of fashion. It has long been insisted on, with a more or less cruel disregard, at times, of the wishes of the young lady herself, and of the enjoyment of the company for whom she is asked to perform. It is now seen, even by a great many proud parents, that unless Mis3 Mar? has a taste for mu9ic, just as Miss Martha has a taste for drawing and painting and Miss Elizabeth a taste for housekeeping, it is useless to drive her to the piano stool for a certain number of hours prac tice daily; for it is the lesson of experi ence in many househo'ds that Miss Mary will get out of practice just as soon as she has a sufficient excuse for avoiding her irksome daily task. And if her voice is more musical on the easy level of conversation than in climbing up and down the stairs of the diatonic scale the comfort of others, besides that of Mis3 Mary, comes into the question, with a title to be considered.
