ft" ..'' fAfif Jia Ai;I -p.'ffci font lather vii., 10. , Here is an Oriental courtier, about the most offensive man in Hebrew history. -.Human by name. He plotted for the de 1 struct ion of the lsraelitisb nation, and I wonrier uofe that in some of the Hebrew (synagogues to this day. when Qaman't ' name i mentioned, the congregation clinch -tieir lists, and stamp their feet and cry: "1st bin name be blotted out!" Haman , was prime minister in the magnificent court of Persia. Thoroughly appreciative of the honor inferred, he expects every body that he passes to be obsequious.' Com ing in one day at the gate of the palace tbe servants drop their beads in honor of his office; :, Hebrew, named Mordecat, gazes upon tbe passing1 dignitary without oendiug his bead or Uin, off his bat. He was a good wan. and would not have been negligent of ths ordinary courtesies of life, but be felt no respect either for Haman or tha nation from wnici he had come. But ne could not be hypocritical, and while oth ers made oriental salaam, getting clear down before this prime minister when he passed, Mordecai, the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of bis neck, and kept his chin clear up. Ba cause of that affront Haman gets a decree from Ahasuerus. th dastardly Kinsf, for tbe massacre of al the Israelites, and that, of course, will include Mordecai. ? To make a v long story abort, through SJueen -.stoer this whole plot was revealed to her husband, Abasuerns. One night A has -uwus, w,io was afflicted with insomnia, in his sleepless hours eaUs for bis secretary to read to him a few passages . of Persian his tory, And so j while away the night. In the book read that night to the King an account was given of a conspiracy, from which Mordecai, i the- Hebrew, had saved tbe Xing"; life, f, and for 'which kindness Mordecat had never received any reward. Haman,-who had beentixinup a nice gal lows to hang Mordecai on. was walking out side the door of ths King's sieving aDarfc tnent and was called in. The fCin- told' hiui that he had just had read to him the account of sonfe one who had sared his, the King's life, and he asked what reward ousht to oa givea to such a one. Self-conceited Haman, supposing that he himself was to get the honor, and not imagining for a moment that the deliverer nf the King's life was Mordecai, says. -"Why. your majesty ought to make a triumph for him and put a crown on him, and set him on a splendid horse, high stepping and full blooi ed, and then have one of your prinsjj lead the horse through the streets, crying: 'Bow the knee, here comes a man who has saved tag King's life."' Thau said Ahas nerus in severs tones to Haman. "I know all about your stxntndrelism Now vou zo 3TI ' , out and make a triumph for Mordsjai, the Hebrew, whm you hate. Put the bsst siddle on the finest horse, and you, the prince, hold the stirrup while Mordecai gets on, and then lead his horse through the i J street Make haste!" i ! What a spectacle ( A comedy and tragedy ' j . at one and tbe same time. There they go! 1 . V Jlordecai, y who had . heeu despised, now ! .starred and robed, in the stirrups Haman, j .the chancellor,, afoot, holding the prancing, j ' ' , rearing, eliatnping stallion. Morde::i bends j j , his neck at last, but It Li to look down at the I degraded prima minister walking haneath ; j him. Huzza for Mordecai : Alas for Haman t l But what a pity to have the gallows recently built entirely wasted! It is fifty cubics high, and built with care. And Haman had erected it for Mordecai, by whose stirrups ha . now walks as groom. Stranger and more j startling thau any romance, there go up the steps of the scaffolding, side, by side, the : hangman and Hamas, the ex -chancellor. "So ; they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai." Although so nuny years have passal since cowardly Ahasuerus reigned, aud the .- beautiful Esther answered to his whims, and Persia perished, yet from the life and death . of Haman we may draw living lc3sons of warning and instruction. And, first, we come toi the practical suggestion that, when the heart is wrong, things very in Bifrnificant will destroy our comfort. "Who would have thought that a great prime minister, admired and applauded by millions of Persians, would have been so , nettled and harassed by anything trivial? . What more could the great dignitary hava ' wanted than his chariots and attendants, i and palaces and banqusts? If affluence of circumstances can make a man contented and happy, surely Haman should havo been s,; contented and happy. No; Mordecai's re ' s fusal of a bow takes the glitter from the gold, and the richness from the purple, and I the speed from the chariots. With a heart ruffed up with every inflation of vanity and ; revenge, tt was impossible for him to ba happy The silence of Mordecai at the gata was louder than the braying of trumpets in v the palace. Thus shall it always be if the , heart is not right. Circumstances the most trivisJ will disturb the spirit. - It is not the great calamities of life .that create the most worriment. I have seen men, , felled byrepeited blowsof misfortune.arising from the dust, never desponding. , But the most of the disquiet which men suffer is , - from insignificant causes, as a lion attacked . by some beast of prey turns easily around , and slays him, yet runs roariugly through ,-" the forest at toe alightiug on his brawny neck of a few insects. You meet some great - loss In business with comparative composure, but you ; can think of petty trickeries in- flicteu upon you which, rotiss all your ca pacity forTvratb, and remain in your heart 11 7 an unbearable annoyance. If you look back upou your life you will find that most of the vexations aud disturbances of r- spirit which you felt were produced : by circumstances that were not , worthy of novice. If ton want to be happy you must xtot care for trifles. Do not be too ' minute in youv inspection of the treatment Su receive from others. Who cares whether ordecai bows when you pass, or stands rect and stilt as a cailar Taat woodman (would not make much clearing in the forest '. who should stop to bind up every little bruise i and scratch b received in tlie thicket: nor I will that man accomplish much for the world or the church who is too watchful and appre c ativeof petty annoyance. There are mul titudes of people In the world constantly har- rowed because they pass their lives, not in seavchins out tho-e things which are attrac tive and deserving, but in spying out with all their powers of viiion to sea whether they cannot find a Mordecai. Again : I learn from tha life of the man under our notice that worldly vanity and mu are very anxious to have piety bow be fore thfiii. Hamuli was a fair emhlera of entire woridliuess, and Mordecai the repre sentative of unninching godliness. Such were the usages of society in undent times that, bad this Israelite bowed t& the prime minister it would have been an aJkaawledg-r-eut of rei-pect for bis character and nation. Mordecai would, therefore, have sinned i) gainst his religion had he made any obeis j . aof" or dropi"ed hU chin half an inch ' v'jnre Haman. When, therefore proud Jiiiinau jsittempted to compel an horn re? which was not felt, ue only did witat the world ever sinca has tried to do o. hfn it would fort-a our holy religion in any i .... -a r to vi!i t .-i its dictates. Daniel.it he had j , ii a iua.ii of! r iigious compromise, would . .

It wai t"o of the ternple, tlai intellect. Ths cether admitted or not, was because tbe religian of Christ paid no respect to their, intellectual vanities. Blount ana Bovle and the hostbf infidels hatched out by the vile reign of Chides II., as reptiles crawl out of a marsh of slime, could not keep their patient1 because, as ihey passed along, there were sittiag in the gate of the church suoh men as Matthnw and Mark, and Luke, and John, who would not bend an inch in respect to their philosophies. -; Satan told our first parents that they would become as gods it they would only reach op and take a taste of the fruit. They tried it and failed, but their descend ants are not yet satisfied with the experi ment. We have now many desiring to be as gods, reaching up after yet another apple. Human reason, scornful of God's word, may foam and strut with ths proud wrath of a Haman, and attempt to compel the homage of the good, but In the presence of i men and angels it shall be confounded. "God shall smite thee, thou whited wall." When science began to make its brilliant discoveries there were great facts brought to light that seamed to overthrow the truth of . the Bible, The arcboeoloeist with his crowbar, and the geologist with his ham mer, and i the chemist with his batteries charged upon the Bible. Mo3es'& account o the creation seemed denied ' by the very structure of the earth. The astronomer whenled round his telescope until the heaven ly bodies seemed to marshal themselves against the -Bible, as the stars in their courses fought against Sisara. Observatories and universities rejoiced at what th9y considered the extinction of Christianity. They gath ered new courage at what they considered past victory, and pressed on their conquest into the kingdom- of nature, until, alas, for them I thev discovered too much. God's word had only bsen lying in ambush that, fli , J . . . - 1 .1 in sums uagyarueu mumeuu, witu a suuuou bound, it might tear infidelity to pieces. It was when Joshua attacked the city of AL He selected thirty thousand men, and concealed most of them; than with a few men he assailed the city, which poured out its numbers and strength upon Joshua's lit tle band. According to previous plan they fell back in seeming defeat, but, after all the proud inhabitants of the city had been brought out of thtir homes, and had joined iu th3 pursuit of Joshua, suddenly that brave man halted in his flignt, and with his spear pointing toward the city, thirty thousand men bounded from the thickets as panthers spring to their prey. and the pur suers were dashed to piecas, while the hosts of Joshua pressed up to the city, and with their lighted torches tossed it into flame. Thus it was that the discoveries of scienee seamed to give temporary victory against God and the Bible, .and fer a while the church acted as if she were on a retreat; but, when all the oppossrs of God and truth had joined in the pursuit, and were sure of the field, Christ gave the signal to His church, and, turning, they drove back their foes in shams. Th9re was found to be no antagonism between nature and revelation. The universe and ths Bible were found to be the work of the same hand, two strokes of the same pan, their authorship the sauu God. . Again: Tjsarn the lesson that pride goes before a fall. Was any man ever so far up as Haman, who tumblod so far down? Yes, on a smaller scale every day the world sees the same thing. Against their very advantages men trip into destruction. When God humbles proud man, it is usu ally at the moment of. their greatest arro gancy. If there bs a man in your com munity greatly puffed up with worldly success, vou have but to stand a little while and you will sea him come down. You say, I wonder that God allows that man ' to on ' riding over others' heads and making great assumptions of power. There is no wonder about it. Haman ha3 not yet got to the top. Pride is a com mander, well plumad and capirisoned, but it leads forth a dark and frowning host. We have the best of authority for saying that "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." The arrows from the Almighty's quiver are apt to strike a man when on the wing. Goliath shakes his great spear in defiance, but the small stones froni the brook Elah make him stag ger and fall like an ox under the butcher's trfudgeon. He who Is down cannot fall. Vessels scudding under bare poles do not feel the force of tne storm, but those with all sails set capsize at the suddeu descent of the tempest Again. This oriental tale reminds us of the fact that wrongs we prepare for others return upon ourselves. The gallows that Haman built for Mordecai became the prime minister's strangulatiou. Robespierre, who sent so many to guillotine, had his own head chopped off by that horrid instrument. Ths evil you practice on others will recoil upon your own pate. Slanders come home. Op pressions come home. Cruelties come Lome. You will yet be a lackey walking beside the very charger on which you expected to ride others down. When Charles I., who had destroyed Strafford, was about to be be headed, he said: "I basely ratified an unjust sentence, and the similar injustice I am now to undergo is a sensible retribution for the punishment I inflicted on an innocent man." Lord Jeffries, after incarcerating many innocent and good people in London tower, was himself imprisoned in the same Elace. where the shades of those whom he ad maltreated seemed to haunt him so that he kept crying to his attendants "Keep them off, gentlemen! for God's sake, keep them off P Ths chickens had come home to roost. The body of Bradshaw, the English judge, who had been ruthless and cruel in his de cisions, was taken from his splendid tomb in Westminster Abbey, and at Tyburn hung on a gallows from morning until night fn the presence of jeering multitudes. Hainan's gallows came a little late, but they came. Opoortunities fly in a straight line, and ju3t touch Us astbiy pass from eternity to eter nity, but the wrongs we do others fly in a cir cles, and however the circle may widen out, they are sure to coma back to the point f rom . i r.i. . i . ti. . j rnt Mw. ., 4-U n - wnicn tuey Bwu iau. xueio wo guus tunu kick! Furthermore, let the story of Haman teach us how quickly turns the wheel of fortune. One day, ; excepting the King, Haman was tho mightiest man In-Persia; but the next day. a lackey. So we go np, and so we come down. You seldom find any inau twanty years in the same circum stances. Of those who in political life twenty years ao were the most prominent, how few remain in couspicuity. Political paities make certain men do their hard wo. k, and then, af tar using them ae hacks, turn them out on the commons to die. Every four year there is a complete ravolu- 1 tiou, and about fi ve thousand men who ought certainly to osthsnaxt President are shame fully disappoiuU!; while some, who this day are obscure ann poverty-stricken, will ride upon the shoulders f the people, and take their turn at admiration and th9 spoils of office. Ob, how quickly the wheel turns! Ballot boxes are the step on which men come down as often as they go up. Of those who were long ago succassfni in the accumulation of propsrey, how few have not met with re verses: while many of those who then wtjre straightened "iu circumstances now hold the bonds and the , bank keys of the nation. Of all fickle things in the world, fortune is tbe most liukle. livery day she changes her mind, and woe to the man who puts any confidence iu what she promises or proposes! Shechoers when you go up, end she langha when you coniodovrn. Oh, trust not a moment your heart's affec tion to this changeful world ! Anchor your enul in God.

Many a woman seated in ; the . street-; at her apple stand is happier 5 than the ; great bankers. The mountains of worldly honor are covered with perpetual snow. Tamerlane conquered half the world, but could not subdue his own fears. Ahab goes to bed, sick, because Na both will not sell him his vineyard. Herod is in agony because a little child is bora down in Bethlehem. Great Felix trembles because a poor minister will preach righteous ness, temperance aud judgment to come. Fromtheime of Louis XII to Louis S.VIII wa there a straw bottomed chair in Franca that did not set more solidly than ths creat throne on which the French Kings reigned! Were I called to .sketch; misery in ; its worst form, I would not go up the dark alley of the poor; but up the highway over which prancing Bucephali strike the sparks with their hoofs and between the statuary and parks of stalking deer.: Wretchedness is more bitter when swallowed from gemmed goblet than from earthern pitcher or pew ter mug. - It there are young paopla here who are looking for this, position and that circumstance, thinking' that- worldly success will bring peace of the soul, let them shatter the delusioa. It is not what we get, it is what wa are. Uauiol among the lions is happier than Nebuchadnezzar on his throne. And when life is closing, brilliancy , of worldly surroundings will be no solace. Death is blind, and sees no dif ference between the King and his clown, between the Naxarine and the Athenian, between a bookless hut- and a national library. The frivolities of life cannot, with their giddy laugh, echoing from heart to heart, entirely drown the voice of a tre mendous conscience which says: "I am im mortal. The stars shall die, but I am immor tal. One wave of eternity shall drown time in its depths, but I am immortal. The earth shall have a shroud of flame and the heavens flee at the glance of the Lord, but 1 am im mortal. From all the heights and daptas of my nature rings down, and rin3 np, and rings out the world 'imm5rtal.' " A good conscience, and ; assurance of life eternal through the Lord Jesus Christ ara tha ouly securities. , . The soul's happiness is too large a craft to sail up the stream of wordly pleasure. As ship carpenters say, it draws too much water. This earth is a bubble, and it will burst. This life is a vision, and it will soon pass away. Time! It is only a ripple, and it breaketh against the throne of judgment. Our days I They fly swifter than a shuttle, weaving for us a robe of triumph or a gar ment of shame. Begin your life with re ligion and for its greatest trial you will be ready. Every day will be a triumph, and ' death will be only a King's servant calling you to a royal banquet. In olden time the man who wa3 to receive the honors of knighthood was required to spend the previous night fully armed, and with shield and lane a to walk up and down among the tombs of the dead. Through all the hours of that night his steady step was heard, aud when morning dawned, amid rand parade and the sound of cornets, the onors of knighthood were bastowed. Thus it shall be with the good man's soul in the night before heaven. Fully armed with shield and sword and helmet, he shall watch and wait until the darkness fly and the morning break, ani amid the sound of celestial harpings the soul shall take the honors of heaven amid the innumerable throng with robes snowy white streaming over seas of sapphire. Mordecai will only have to wait for his day of triumph. It took all the preceding trials to make a proper background for his after success.. The scaffold built for him makes all the more imposing and picturesque the horse into whose long white mane he twisted his fingers at the mounting. You want at least two misfortunes, hard as flint, to strike fire. Heavy and long continued snows in the winter are signs of good crops next summer. So many nave yielded won derful harvests of benevolence and energy because they were a long while snowed under. We must have a good many bard falls before we learn to walk straight. It is on the black anvil of trouble that men hammer out their fortunes. Sorrows take up men on their shoulders and enthrone them. Tonics are nearly always bitter. Men, like fruit trees, are barren, un less trimmed with sharp knives. Thsy are like wheat all the better for the flailing. It required the prison darkness and chul to make John Bunyan dream. It took Dela ware ice and cold feet at Valley Forge, and the whizz of bullets, to make a Washington. Paul when he climbed up on tbe beach of Melita, shivering in his wet , clothes, was more of a Christian than when the ship struck tbe breakers . Prescott, the historian, saw better without his eyes than he could ever have seen with them. Mordecai de spised at the gate, is only preissgssor of Mr decai grandly mounted ; " ' Articles Found in .Cotton Bales. According to 4 the Providence (K. I.) Journal, at the Wampunoag Mills, Fall River, Mass., not long ago, the workmen in the picker room stopped a -package of matches just as the bundle was disap pearing into the picker. It had come out of a cotton bale the men had just opened. Had they gone into the ' machine there would have been a lively blaze. Speaking of this incident, a man who has tended a picker for several years said that the things which come out of a cotton bale, and evidently grow on bushes, would astonish one. One day he heard ' something grind inside the picker, and, stopping the machine, found a silver spoon. Lizards and small snakes were common. A set of false teeth, small coins, knives, tobacco, and occasionally articles of more value have been found. These things undoubtedly get inside the bales accidentally, but there are other things which evidently get instde in accordance with a fixed purpose, and by strange coincidences they are found to weigh more than cot ton, and not to bo worth as much per pound on the market. Sand, scraps of iron and dirt are often found wrapped inside a cotton bale for ballast.
