V'Paying" Your Funeral Expenses. A novel idea in the way of paying trie's funeral expenses has been introduced in New York city by a company recently organized for the pu: ix>se of furnishing cheap funerals. Tue new oethod consists of paying for your fuatral in advance. Thus a man is enabled io decide just what kind of a funeral He s going to have, and he will also know cviiat it costs. The trade is done mostly imong the poorer classes, and the aver ?g8 iunerai, paid lor in advance, costs ibout $50. According to the plan, a n?.n can make small payments of $5 per aicnth, until the full amount is paid. " And then, if he is taken sick, he can happy in the knowledge that his raking off isn't going to pinch the pocket book of any of his friends. If, however, he should happen to die before the 'full amount is paid, his nearest relatives has to give a bond or guarantee that the full amount that the contract calls for will be paid. If, after paying the fulj amount, the patron should live for many rears, the company would he away ahead on the deal, by reason of the interest ths.t would accumulate on the original $50 invested.?JYc>c Y<vk World.

But as soon as the visitor lands, the illusion begins to dissolve. for oue could hardly find a more dirty or disagreeable place on the face of the earth. Most of the streets are not more than eight feet wide, which affords only about space enough for the mud and the dogs. Carriages and omnibuses are not to be obtained in Constantinople, and the only way to get to the hotel is on foot. Pera is the quarter where foreigners reside, and the hotel* arc to be found there, p'nm ?hn Inn.limr lil:)fo on the Golden A *v?. l"v J" " Horn, the mouth of the stream flowing [ into the Bosplioroiis, on each side of | ?rW~>?,$?U fl vi f- ;Jffh L | k=j [i ipgpl Jib /fc^ te? m ssSO^k#^* A DONKEY IN CONSTANTINOPLE. -r? which the city is built, the narrow street seems to lead to the top of tke hill at an angle of about forty-five degrees.

" ' | upon -which, the trunks rests. The i i traveler follows him as well as he can. He has not gone far before he encounters a Turk leading a donkey or a mule with a pair of panniers across his back, each of them tilled with c-ordwood or some | other commodity. There is only space enough for that beast of burden load, and the onlyJj*n^^>tfaUdst can "dols to dodge into the iirst convenient doorway, or break into the midst of a family of Moslems squatting on the door. The Rue de Pera is wider, but hardly broad enough to permit two loaded mules to puss a&reast of each o'.her. 1 reached it in safety by great fortune, but I had hardly touched its pavement before a * mule loaded with joists, twenty feet long or more, put in a claim for possession of the entire thoroughfare. The sticks were crossed at his shoulders, one end projecting beyond his head and the other drassrintr <m the pavement behind him. The mule had ir all his own way, and was as independent ;ts a "pig on ice." But the wayfarer may drop into a store on this street, and if he don't "talk Turkey"' he may resist the importunate appeals of the salesman to purchase. I have not the le-ist idea how many dogs there are in Constantinople, but I should think they could compete with the human inhabitants of the city. They are not noted for their beauty, and no dog fancier would be likely to go there to replenish his stock. In fact they are all "yellow dogs,'' rather diminutive in size, covered with tilth, mangy and illfavored to the last degree. The Turks have some sort of a superstition in regard to them, and though they do not feed or care for them, they protect them from destruction. Doubtless they arc an- important factor in whatever degree of health the city may enjoy, for they appear to be the only scavengers that are tolerated. Thev belong to no own ers, and they have to pick up their living from the offal thrown iuto the streets'. DOGS OF CO>TST.Y^TOCOFJLE. Ordinarily the dogs are peaceable citizens, and make the best of their hard lot. Ii said thaMhe canines havecer tain quarters wnere tney oeiong, ana where they claim certain inherent rights and privileges, anct arc at all times ready to defend them in a pitched dogfight. In going about the city ouc occasionally hears the barks, yells and growls of such a conflict. One night I was waked from my sleep by a most hideous din not far from the hotel. It sounded as though the entire million, more or less, of dogs in the city had come together in a general engagement. They seemed to be ;ill yelping and growling in concert. Now and then the sounds indicated a sharp encounter, and one might suppose the l?rutes -.vere tearing each other to pieces. They fought for a long time, though peace was made in the cad and the racket ccased. I called upon my man Dimetri the next morning for an explanation. The ter- I ritory of certain clans of canines near the hotel had been invaded by guerillas from another region, and this had caused the fight. He was unable to inform me whether or not the victory was with the invaders, but thought not, for the dogs of any quarter were generally strong enough to maintain their rights against all outsiders. The Turks are too stoical to take any interest in tiic.se dog lights, which would be even better than candy and ice-cream1 to the gamins of our large cities, and they take no notice of them. One morning I found the courier of; I Lord Somebody feeding :t couple of yellow' pup2"?ies in frort of tilt* hotel. They were cleaner and better favored in every re sped than the multitude oi' dogs, though they "were of some low breed. The courier tohl me he had found them in the strr-et the day after hi* arrival, and had ' bought a couple ??f rolls for th?m every ' morning since. Tie introduced them to me, and 1 found them very friendly and pleasant. Their kind friend left that day for Eng land, and when I found the two puppies at the door the next ^ morning I bought the ' ~ bread and fed them,/^^A /*) and we became inti- ( mate friends. I had to drive off the other//^i (?&<-***??tj j dogs that insisted1 upon sharing the banquetj and this was no ' ~ ' *? rnr TWH HPPIT 4\"^s. ! easy task. l continued ^ - ?* ? to feed them as long as I remained in The city. It was sad to think what became of them after I left, for doubtlc-ss they were absorbed in the general miserable dogdom of the place. My companion was au elderly gentleman, and neither of us was inclined to travel long distances on foot. About the streets are saddle-horses in charge of Arabs. When the man finds a customer he mounts him on his steed and walks after him, urging forward the animal as occasion may require, for he is never one of the fancy barbs of the desert. We do not fancy thi3 Style bf riding and we appealed to Dimetri for something more to our taste. The next nlOrning he brought up a very handsbme hoodied phaeton and I suspected he had borrowed it of the Sultan; but he assured us he had procured it at a stable i kept by a foreigner. We passed through the Rue de Porn, occasionally causiug a tremendous commotion amon? the foot passengers when I we encountered another vehicle, or a | donkey loaded with rocks, cordwood or ' lumber. We descended the hill, passing J through a cemetery where the ruthless hand of improvement had made a road over the dead, till we came to a wide street near the Sultan's new palace. Beyond this we had to take to the fields for. the want of a road. The Palace of the Sweet Waters was our objective point; find we got thfer6; We had expected to gaze iii w'onder upon a scene of Oriental j magnificence. The name of the place was. certainly pretty enough to lead us to anticipate something rich and elegant. The palace, however, was not equal to - r?i I..,/! ? + : J many a manuiauwij v?c uau ?\.u a> home. There were a number of trenches stoned up to contain the "sweet waters," but there w'as Hone in them, sweet or' otherwise. Wfe looked upon it as a fraud. 1Ye fancy that the Sultan would open his eyes if he could sail up the Hudson or. ride through auy of the great cities of the United State?. This reader has had his palate tickled in imagination by the sherbets and con-, fections of the Orient. I had, and I' wanted to taste some of them. I asked! Dimetri about sherbet. He took me to a! shop and I drank sherbet, expecting to: be thrilled as with the nectar of the gods.' What do you think it was? Nothing but what the old ladies of New England call "raspberry shrub." It is very good fori those who like it; but sherbet comes, down from its seventh heaven after you J hive tasted it; ; At the door of the monastery of der--r vishes Dimetri brought me a quantity ofconfections?fig paste, candy jwid other; things of this sort. JNoty "one of them! was eatable; in fact smell of these delicacies was, than enough. 11 threvsu-^5em into the street when I went! j^out, and the Moslem gamins scampered ! for them. ! I had some curiosity to learn how the! I T^xrks lived, and Dimetri took me into a1 j cafe iiear the mosque of St. Sophie. The first dish was made up from the fire beI fore me. In a copper saucepan, like half : a globe, was a large quantity of mutton 'fat, with bits of meat iu it." In another, kettle of the same kind was some rice,! having a pinkish tint. On a small tea] ! plate the attendant put a portion of this; | rice, spread it out, with a cavity in thej middle. Then he emptied a ladefrd of the mutton gfeJlse and two bits ot meat into the middle of it. The odor was not pleasant,- and a single taste of the compound was enough for this deponent. It smelled bad and tasted worse. The next dish was pancakes, round, balls of dousrh fried iu fat. They were soaked with grease, and rancid grease at that. Press them a little and the fat. flowed out in streams. These two dislies exhausted the bill of fare. I resorted to fruit. An Armenian gentleman on the Bosphorus had told we that I had come inj season for the best grapes of the year.I called for some of them, and up to the present moment they were the finest, the most delicious I ever tasted. The Turks sell them from great baskets all over the city for next to nothing. They look like the common Malaga grape, but the skins were hardly perceptible. The flavor was a little spicy; sweet, atid rich enough to be the food of divinities.. Though my worthy California companion insisted that they had better in his State, I have never tasted any that were equal to them.

The repetition of disasters left us in debt. We have pra-ticaUy built three churches since T came to Brooklyn. First, the original Tabernacle. Soon after that we made an enlargement tL it cost almost as much as a church. A few years after it all burned. Then we put up the building recently destroj-ed, and reared if- in a time when the whole country was iu its worst financial distress. It was these repeated disasters that left us in debt. My congregation have done magnificently, but any church would bint debt after so many calamities. !Now for the first time we are out of debt. But we need at least one hundred thousand dollars to build a church large enough, and we call on people of all creeds and all lands to help. Before I help dedicate a new church we must have every dollar of it paid. I will never again be pastor of a church iu debt. It has crippled us in all our movements, aad I shall never again wear the shackles. I have for the last sixteen years preached to about 5000 people sitting and Standins' f.wic,' a SaSihiitli hut evurvKidv Irnriw* that we need a place that will hold S000 1 shall not be surprised if some man ot" wealth | shill say: "Here are a $100,000 if you will .put up a memorial structure, and call it after the name of my departed father or child whose memory I want put before all nation? and for all time." And so it will be done. Text: "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."?Rev. vii., 17. Riding across a western prairie, wil j flowers up to the hub of the carriage wheel, and while a loag distance from any shelter, there came a sudden shower, arid while the rain was falling in torrents, the sun was shining as brightly as I ever saw it shine: and I thought, what a bsautifui spectacle this is! So the tears of the Bible are not midnight storm, but rain on pansied prairies in God's sweet and golden sunlight. You remember that bottle which David labeled as containing tears, and Mary's tears, and Paul's tears, and Christ's +1.0 (-1,u tvot F, llUU XiviA >C?. w VI J\JJ uuau lv> cv/ spring from the sowing of tears. God mixes them. God rounds them God show? them where to fall. God exhales fiiem. A census is taken of them, ami there is a record as to the moment when they ara born, and as to the place of their grave. Tears of bad men are not kept. Alexander, in his sorrow, had the hair clipped from his horses and mules, and made a great ado about his grief; but in all the vases of heaven there is not on"1 of Alexander's tears. I speak of the tears of the good. Alas! me! thv=y are falling all the time. In summer, you sometimes hear the growling thunder, and you see there is a storm miles away; but you km^J> <j; rf-fonr drift of the clouds that it wiljrfiot come anywhere near you. So, though it may be all bright around us,there i^a shower of trouble somewhere all the tisfleT Tears! Tears' What is the us# of them anyhow? Why not substitute^laughter? Why not make this a world wVj#fe all the people are well and eternal sirangers to pain and aches? What is the tjsc cf an eastern storm when we might 'nave/a perpetual nor'wester? Why, when a l'ajaiily is put together, not have them si! -tffay, or if they must be transplanted to make other homes, then have them all live? the family record telling a story of marriages and births, but of no deaths. Why not have the harvests chase each other without fatiguing toil? Why the hard pillow.] the hard crust, the hard struggle? It is easy enough to explain a smile, or a success, or a congratulation: but, come now, and bring ail your dictionaries and nil your philosophies and ali your religions, aiidbelp me explain a tear. A chemist will tell you that it is made up of salt and lime aud other component parts: but he misses the chief ingredients?the acid of a soured life, tha viperine sting of a bitter memory, the fragments of a broken heart. I will tell you what a tear is: it is agony in solution. Hear me, then, while I discourse to you of the uses of trouble. First?It is the design of trouble to keep I this world from being too attractive. Something must be done to make vhs willing to quit this existence. If it were not for trouble thus world would be a good enough heaven for me. You and I would be willing to take a lease of this life for a hundr ed million years if there were no trouble. The earth cushioned and upholstered and pillared and chandelierodwith such expense, no story of other worlds coidd enchant us. "We would say: "Let well enough alone. If you '.rant to ilie and have your body disintegrated in the dust, aud your soul go'out on a celestial adventure, then you can 20; but this world is good enough for me."' You might as well go to a man who has just entered the Louvre at Paris, and tell him to hasten off to the tw?; mv? nf Vm* kIatwi/v* "Why," he wonid say, "what is the Use of my going there? There are Rembrandts and Rubens and .Raphaels here that I haven't looked at yet." Xo man wants to go ou.t of this world, or out of any house, until he has a better house. To cure this wish to stay here, God must somehow create a disgust for our surroundings. How shall He do it? He cannot afford to deface His horizon, or to tear off a fiery panel from the sunset, or to subtract an anther from the water lily, or to banish the pungent aroma from the mignonette, or to drag the robe5; of the morning in the mire. You cannot expoct a Christopher Wren to mar his own St. Paul's cathedral or a Michael Angclo to dash out his own "Last Judgment." or a Handel to discord his "Israel in Egypt," and you cannot expect God to spoil the architecture and music of His own worid. How then are we to be made willing to leave? Here is where trouble comes in. After a man has had a good deal of trouble, he says: "Well. I am ready to go. If there is a house somewhere whose roof doesn't leak. I would like to live there. If there is an atmosphere somewhere that does not distress the lu.nss, I would like to breathe it. If there is a society byrasvi uere wnere inem is uu luuctattle, I would like to live there. If there is a home circle somewhere where I can find my lost friends, I would like to go there.'' He used to read thc"first part of the Bible chiefly, now he reads the last part of the Bible chiefly. Why has he changed Genesis for Revelation? Ah! he used to be anxious chiefly to know how this world was made, and all about its geological construction. Now he is chiefly anxious to know how the next world was made, and how it looks, and who live there, and how they dress. He reads Revelation ten times now where he reads Genesis once. The old story, ''In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," does not thrill him half as much as the other story, "'I saw a new heaven and a hew earth." I The old man's hand trembles as he turns over this apocalyptic leaf, and he has to take out his handkerchief to wipe his spectacles. That book of Revelations is a prospectus now of the country into which he is to soon immigrate; the country into which be has lots al i r -ciay laid our, and avenues opened, and trees planted and mansions built. The thought of that blessed place conies over me mightily, and I declare that if this house were a groat ship, and you all were passengers on board it, and one hand could launch that ship into the glories of heaven, 1 should !>e tempted to take the responsibility and launch you all into glory with one stroke, holding on to the side of the boat until T could get in myself. And yet there are people here to whom this world is brighter than heaven. Well, dear souls, J do not blame you. It is natural. But after a while von will be ready to go. ' It was not until Joo had been worn out with bereavements and carbuncles and a pest of a wife that he wanted to see God. It was not until the prodigal got tired of living among the hogs that he wanted to go to his Father's V'.ti-0. It is the ministry oi trouble to uia.ct 'his world worth less and heaven worth more. Ajcain. it is the use of trouble to make its f*,al our complete dependence uoon God. Ming Alphonso said that if he had bean present at the creation he cr>uld have made a better world than this. "What a pity he was not present! I <10 tu t know what God will do when some men die. Men think thev can do anything until (''y\showsthem they do nothing at all.

She handed the i n?ins over to me. and said: "I think you had j better take charge of the horse." So we are | rK children: and on this road of life we like 1 to drive.

But ifter a while we meet some obstacle, and we have t?> turn out. and the road is narrow, -ind it is sho?r down on both sides: and then ;>r-' n-illin^ that God should toko fh* ;vi>:saud drive. Ah; my friends, wegetup:c( so .-.tz'-Ti hzc.v.Xy.3 vro do not hand over the ivi:i< Tjiiougli. Can you not tell when you hear a.man . m fray, whether he has ever had any trouble? can. The cadence, the phraseology indicate it. Why do women pray better than men? j Because they have had more trouble. Be* ] fore a man has had any trouble, his prayers are poetic, and he begins away up among the ! sun, moon and stars, and gives the Lord a I great ueal of astronomical information that must be highly gratifying. He then comes on down gradually over beautifully tablelands to "forever and ever, amen/' But after a man has bad trouble, prayer is with him a taking hold of the arm o'f God and crying out for help. I have heard earnest prayers on two or three occasions that I remember. Oncc, on the Cincinnati express train, going at forty miles the' hour, and the train jumped the track, and we were near a chasm eighty feet deep: and the men who, a few minutes before, bad been swearing and blaspheming God, began to pal! and jerk at the bell rope, and got up on the backs of the seats and cried* out: "O God, save us'"' There was another time, about eight hundred miles out at sea, on a foundering steamer, after the last lifeboat had been split finer than kindling wood. They prayed then. Why is it you so csfteri hear people, in reciting the last 'experience of some friend. say: "He made.the j most beautiful prayer I ever heard?" What I makes it beautiful? It is the earnestness (if it. Oh, I tell you a man is in earnest when liis stripped and naked sou! wades out in the soundless, shoreless, bottomless ocean of eternity. It is trouble, my friends, that makes us feel oar dependence upon bod. VV c do not know our own weakness or Gdd's strength until hi last plank breaks. It is contemptible in :is v.-hen there is nothing else to take hold of, That we catch hold of God only. A man is unfortunate in business. He has to raise a /Teat deal of money, and raise it quickly. He borrows on word and note all he can borrow. After a while he puts a mortgage on his house. After a while he puts a second nortgage on his house. Then he puts a lien on his furniture. Then he makes over his life insurance. Tben he assigns all his property. Then he goes to his father-in-law and asks for help! Well, having failed everywhere, completely failed, he frets down on his knees and says: ' 0 Lord. I nave tried everybody and everything, now help me out of this financial trouble.'* He makes God the last resort instead of the first refeoft. There are men who have paid ten cents dh a dc'iikr vffco could have paid a hundred cents on a dollar if they had gone to God in time. Why, you do not know who the Lord is. He is not an autocrat seated far up in a palace, from which He emerges once a year, preceded by hwalds swinging swords to clear the way! No. But a Father willing, at om* call, to stand by us in every crisis and predicament , of life. I tell you what some of you business men make me think of A. young man goes off from home to earn his fortune; He goes with his mother's consent and benediction. She has large wealth: but tie wants to make his own fortune. He goes far away, falls sick, gets out of money. He sends for the hotel keeper where he is staying, asking for lenience, and ths answer he gets is: ';If you don't pay up Saturday tiijrht you'll be removed to the hospitaL". Tho young man sends to a comrade in the SB&tTouIKKng! "No I 'aeTp"~T5s' writes to a banker who wis a friend of his deceased father. No relief. He writes to an old schoolmate, but gets nc help.

Getting there, he is frenzied with grief; and he borrows a sheet of paper and a postage stamp, and he sits down, and he writas home, saying: "Dear mother, I am sick unto death. Come." It is ten minutes of 10 o'clock when she gets the letter. At 10 o'clock the train starts. She is fi^e rrtinrft^s from the depot. She gets there in time to have fitff! mimttesto spare. She wonders why a train that can go thirty miles an hour cannot go sixty miles an hour. She rushes into the hospital. She say^: 1 'My son. what does all this mean? Why didn't you send for me? You sent to everybody but me. You knew I could and would help you. Is this the reward I get for my kindness to you always?" She bundles him up. takes him hr?nio onil 'rnt.a him wf?!l TMT snon. Now; some of you treat God just as that young man li-eafej his motlief-. "When you get into a financial perplexity; you call onthe banker, you call on the broker,you call on your creditors, you call on your lawyer for legal counsel; you call upon*everybody, and when vou cannot, got any help, then you go to God. You say: "0 Lord I come to Thee. Help me now out of my perplexity/' And the Lord come?, though it is the eleventh hour. He says: "Why did you not send for Me l>efore"? As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you/' It is to throw us back upon tin fill comforting God that we have this ministry of tears. Again, it is the use of trouble to capacitate us for the office of sympathy. The priests, under tli? old dispensation; were set- apart by having water sprinkled oil tfc'oir Hands, feet and head: and by the sprinkling of tears people are now set apart to the office of sympathy. When we are in prosperity we like to nave a great many young people around us, and we laugh when they laugh, and we romp when they romp, and "we sing when they sing; but when we have trouble we like plenty of old folks around. Wby? They know how to talk. Take an aged n^other, seventy years of age. and she is almost omnipotent in comfort. Why? She has been through it all. At 7 o'clock in the .wvia nvoi? fr\ nnrrsfnvt 51 vniin*? mother who has jitst lost her babe. Grandmother knows all about that trouble. Fifty years ago she felt it. At 12 o'clock of that day she goes over to comfort a widowed soul. She knows all about that. She has been walking in that dark valley twenty years. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon some one knocks at the door wanting bread. She knows alt about that. Two or three times in her life she came to her last loaf. At 10 o'clock that night she goes over to sit up with some one severely sick. She knows all about it. She knows all about fevers and pleurisies and broken bones. She has been doctoring all her life, spreading plasters, and pouring out bitter drops, and shaking up hot pillows, and contriving things , to tempt a l>oor appetite. Doctors Abernethy and Rush and Hosack and Harvey were great doctors, bnt the greatest doctor tne woria ever saw is an old Christian woman. Dear me! Do we not remember her about the room when we were sick in our boyhood? Was there any one who could ever so touch a sore without hurting it? And when she lifted her spectacles against her wrinkled forehead, so she could look closer at th9 wound, it was three-fourths "x?l<?d. And when the Lord took her home, although you may have been men and women thirty, forty, fifty years of age. you lay on the coffin lid and sobbed as though you were only five or ten years of age. 0 man, praise God if you have in your memory the picture of an honest, sympathetic, kind, self sacrificing, Christ-like mother. Oh, it takes these people who have had trouble to comfort others m iroucue. iv nere aia raui get me mK wiin which to write his comforting epistle? ""here lid. David get the ink to write his comforting Psalms? Where did John get the ink to write his comforting Revelation? They got it out of their own tears. When a man has gone through the curriculum, and has taken a course of "dungeons and imprisonments and shipwrecks, he is qualified for the work of sympathy. When I began to preach, my sermons on the subject of trouble were all poetic and in semi-blank verse; but God knocked the blank verse out of mo long ago, and I have found out that I cannot comfort people except as I myself have been troubled. God make me Che son of consolation to the people. I would ether be the means of soothing one perturbed spirit to-day, than to play a tun* that would set all the sons of mirth reeling in the dance. I am a herb doctor. I put into the caldron the Root out of dry ground without form or comeliness. Then I put in the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley, Then I put into the caldron some of the leaves from the Tree of Life, and the Branch that was thrown into tiro wilderness Marah. Then I pour in the tears of Bethany and Golgotha; then I stir them up. Then I kindle under the caldron a fire made of the wood of the cross, and one drop of that potion will cure the worst sickncss that ever afflicted a human soul. Mary aud Martha shall receive their Lazarus from j the tomb. The damsel shall rise. And on the darkness shall break the morning, and God will -wipe all tears from their eyes. You know-on a well spread table the food becones more delicate at the last. I have fed you to-day with the bread of consolation. Lot the table now be cleared, and let us ret on the chalice of Heaven. Let the King's cup boarers come in. Good morning. Heaven ! "Oh," says some critic in the audience, "the Bible contradicts itself. It intimates again and again that there are to be no tears in heaven, and if there be no tears in heaven, how is it possible that God will wipe any away?'! 1 answer, have you never seen a child crying one moment and laughing the nest: and while she was laughing, you saw the tears still on her face! And perhaps you stopped her in the very midst of her resumed glee, and wiped off those delaved tears. Su. I think, after the heavenfy raptures have corns upon us. there may 1 >e the mark of some earthly grief, and while those i tears are glittering in the light of the jasper sea, God will wipe them away. How well He can do that. Jesus had enough trial to make Him sympathetic with "all trial. The shortest verse in the Bible tells the story: "Jesus wept."' Tho scar on the back of cither hand, the scar on the arch of either foot, the row of scars along the line of the hair, \vi]l keep all heaven thinking. Oh, j that great weeper is just the one to silence ail earthly trouble, wipe out i all stains of earthly grief, Gentle! Why, i His step is softer than the step of the j dew. It will not be a tyrant bidding vou to hush up your crying. It will be a father who will "tak?; you on His left arm. His face , gleaming into yours, while with the soft tips r cf the fingers of the right hand, He shall wipe j away all tears from your eyes. I have 119- i ticed when the children get hurt, and their ! mother is away from home, "they come to me j for comfort and sympathy: but I have no- ! ticed that when the children get hurt and their mother is at home, they go right past me and to her; I am of no account. ATI /lAMrtdfl lit* (Vlf 1 KJKS, ?? bUV OULU WUiCC lUtUiiwU? of the wounds of this life, it will not stop to look for Paul, or Moses, or David or John. ? These did very well once, but now the soul shall rush past, crying: '"Where is Jesus? Where i? Jesus?" Dear Lord, what a magnificent thing to die if Thou shalt thus wipe away our tears. Methink it will take us some time to get used to hca%'en: the fruits of God without one speck; the fresh pastures without one nettle; the orchestra without one snapped string: the river of gladness without one torn bank; the solferincs and the saffron of sunrise and sunset swallowed up in the eternal day that beams from God's countenance! Why should I \v-lsli to liager la the wild, When Thou art waiting, Father, to receive Tbv child? If we could get any appreciation of what God has in reserve for us. it would make us so homesick we would be unfit for every day work. Professor Leonard, formerly of low;: University, pot in my hand a metoorie ston_\ a stone thrown off from some other worl.i t:> this. How suggestive it was to me. And x have to tell you the best representations w<have of heaven are only aerolites Hung ??:i" from that world which rolls on. bearing tit..multitudes of the redeemed.

It is the difference between em- I barkation an<l coming into port, jiverytiim:; depends upon which side of the river vest stand when you hear of a Christian':,- death. If you stand on this side of the ri ver you mourn that they go. If you stand on "the other side of the river you rejoice that they come. Oh, the difference between a ?un^r;s! on earth said a jubilee in heaven?between requiem here and triumphial march th.-re? Sir ting here and reunion there. Together! ave you thought of it?

I am so impressed with the;thought j that I do not t hink it is any fanaticism when some one is going from "this world to the neit if you nake them the bearer of dispatches to your friends who are gone, saying: "Give my love to my parents, give my love to my children, give my love to my old comrades who are in dory, arid tell them I .am trying to light thegood fight ol' faith, | and I "will join ' hem after av.-hile.?'

In 1751 there was a bill offered in the English parliament proposing to charge the almanac so that The '->t of March should come immediately after the ISth of Febru ary.

A sad atfd peculiar accident occurred at at Milwaukee tannery recently, iw.it- j ingin the death of one man and the nar- I row escape of two othefs. A loc.-si paper j gives this account: William H. Knu-jv", j Emil Loder and Charles Schendel wen: | engaged in painting the interior of a largo : water-tank, when they were overcome by ] the noxious fumes that emanated from au j imported brand of black paint which they were applying to the iron surface of flit; reservoir. Their fellow-workmen, wh<> were standing at the top of the tank. :i'. ' once took steps to recover their com- j panioDS, but before the rescue could be i effected. Krueger was dead. The ar: cidcnt is a most peculiar one, and is with- j ? n~i AT;ixfo?. OUb a parauei m mc uioiwiv vi kee. The doctors say that the paint r.sed contained poison, arid was a very dangerous article to use. When tlu" men were taken out of the tank their laces were greatly discolored, Kruegcrs countenance being almost blue. Nature's Underground Statuary. A magnificent stalactite grotto has been found in Carniola, near the famous Adclsberg Caves. The new grotto contains innumerable caves filled with curious stony formations resembling animals, trees, plants, draperies, and so forth, the ! largest hall, or "ball-room," being j adorned with myriads of stalactitc cur- | tains and flags. The stalactites are pure ; white, and very transparent, not having ; wet become yellowish and blackcncd by the lamp-smoke of manv visitors, as at i the Cheddar Cliffs, Adelsberg, or the ' Ilan Grottoes in Belgium, in Central 1 France, also, two explorers have just dis- ! covered a series of grottoes near Micrs, at, | the Causse de Gramat, where a subter- | ranean stream passes for "miles through the caves, apparently to join the 3)or- \ dogne. So far as it has yet been traced, ; the river forms seven lakes and thirty- : three cascades. ?arm Tortoises in the South Sea. There are tortoises in the islands of the j South -Pacific Ocean, but their shell is oL' : little value, and on the Gallipagos Islands j a species exists which sometimes attains a j weight of half a ton. A seaman of a New i Bedford whaleship some years ago was j missed by his companions on these islands. They sought for him for several days without success, and were about to leave without him, when they were surprised to see him coming down from the mountains driving one of these huge brutes with j a club. This was the largest specimen j ever heard of, and was probably linndreds of years old. The sailor had spent several days and eights, with true Yankee pertinacity, in guiding the clumsy brute from the mountains to the seashore. These tortoises and multitudes of hideous iguanas seem to be the only inhabitant-; of the Gallipagos, which arc a mass of i extinct and barren volconoes. Make Yourself,Solid.

Ouc of the most unique cemeteries in the United States is that of Sheepshead Bay, Long Island, the burial ground for noted horses. It was established two years ago. and by the end of the first year three noted racers had found a resting place within its quiet precincts. As heretofore, the common brutes-which live out tUeir allotted days and die without making a better record than 2:20., will be give a over to the tender mercies of the equine potters' field boss 011 Barren Island, which, is in the immediate vicinity.
