Roalms Described.

Simple Antlrlpatlva of the (irand
, Festival of Song In tha Heav
enly Homo.
Rev. T. DoWitt Talmag* delivered
tho following sermon on a recent Sab
bath on the subject of “Heavenly Song,”
taking for bis text:
And they sang a new song.— Rev. v., ft.
Nearly all the cities of Europe and
America have conservatories of music
and associations whose object it is, by
voico and instrument, to advance the
art of sweet sounds. On Thursday
nights, Exeter Hall, London, used t>o
resound with the music of flrst-claas
performers, who gave their services
gratuitously to the masses, who came in
with free tickets and huzzaed at the
entertainment. At Jlorlin, at cloven
o’clock daily, tho military band, with
sixty or one hundred instruments, dis
course at the opera-house for tho peo
ple. On Easter Sunday, in Dresden,
the boom of cannon and the ringing of
bolls, bring multitudes to tho churches
to listen to tho organ peals, and tho ex
citing sounds of trumpet and drum.
When the groat fair day of
Loipsic comes, tho bands of music,
from far and near, gathor in tho street,
and bewilder tho ear with incessant
playing of fluto, and horn, violin and
bassoon. At Dusseldorf, onco a year,
tho lovers of music assemble, and for
throo or four days wait upon the great
. singing festivals, and shout at too close
of choruses, and greet the successful
competitors as the prizes are distributed
—cups and vases of silver and gold.
All our American cities at times re
sound with orchestra and oratorio.
Those who can sing well or play skill
fully upon instruments are greeted with
vociferation, and garlanded by excited
admirers.
'Pi. __ A/lofst!/.
delight is to bo found in melodies; and
all tho splendor of celestial gates, and
all the luseiousness of twelve manner
of fruits, and all the rush of floods from
under the throne of God, would not
make a Heaven for them if there were
no great and transporting harmonies.
Passing along our streets in tho hour of
worship you hear the voico of sacred
melody, although you do not enter the
building. And passing along tho street
of Heaven wo hear, from the Temple of
God and the Lamb, the breaking forth
of magnificent jubilate. AA’e may not
yet enter in among tho favored throng,
but God will not deny us the pleasure
of standing awhile on tho outside to
bear. John listened to it a great while
ago, and “they sang a new song.”
Let none aspire to that blessed place
who have no love for this exerciso, for
although it is many ages since tho
thrones were set, and tho harps where
strung, there has been no cessation in
the song, excepting once for about thir
ty minutes; and, judging from tho glori
ous thing now transpiring in God’s
world, and tho ever-accumulating
triumphs of the Messiah, that was tho
last half-hour that Heaven will over bo
silent.
Mark tho fact that this wa3 a new
song. Sometimes I have in church boen
floated away upon some great choral, in
which all our peoplo seemed to mingle
voices, and I have, in tho glow of my
emotions, said:' Surely this is music
good enough for Heaven. Indeed, I do
not believe that “Luther's Hymn,” or
“Coronation,” or “Old Hundred,” or
"Mounnt “Pisgah” would sound ill if
Bpoken by sainted lips,or thrummed from
seraphic harps. Thero are many of our
fathers and mothors in glory who would
be slow to shut Heaven’s gate against
these old-time harmonies. Hut this,
we are told, is a now song.
Somo of our greatest an
thems and chorals are composi
tions from other times—the sweetest
parts of them gathered up into tho
harmony; and I have sometimes thought
that this “new song” may bo partly
mado up of sweet strains of earthly
music mingled in eternal choral. Hut
it will, after all, bo a now song. This
1 do know—that in sweetness and
power it will be something that ear
never heard. All tho skill of the oldest
harpers of Heaven will be flung into it.
All the love of God's heart will ring
from it. In its cadences the floods will
clap their hands, and it will drop with
tho sunlight of everlasting day, and
breathe with odors from the blossoms
of the tree of life. “A new song”—just
made for Heaven.
many eariuiy bongs aro written uy
composers just for tho purpose of mak
ing a tune; and tho land is flooded with
note-books in which really valuable
tunes aro the exception. But onco in
awhilo a man is wrought up by some
great spectacle, or moved by some ter
rible agony, or transported by some ox
quisito gladness, and bo sits down to
write a tune or a hymn, in which every
note or every word is a spark dropped
from the forgo of his own burning emo
tions. So Mendelssohn wrote, and so
Beethoven, and so Charles Wosloy.
Cowper, depressed with misfortunes
until almost insane, resolved on suicide,
and asked tho cab-driver to take him to
a certain place where he expected to
destroy his own life. Tho cab-driver
lost his way, and Cowper began to
think of his sin, and went back to his
home and sat down and wrote:
God moves In a mysterious way.
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Mozart composed his own requiem,
and said to his daughter Emily: “Play
that;” and while Emily was playing tho
requiem Mozart’s soul wont up on the
wave of his own music into glory
Emily looked around, and her father
was dead.
This new song of Heaven was not
composed because Heaven bad nothing
else to do, but Christ, in memory of
cross and crown, of manger and throno,
of earth and Heaven, and wrought upon
by the raptures of the Great Eternity,
poured this from His heart, made it for
the armies of Heaven to shout in cele
bration of victory, for worshipers to
chant in their temple services, for the
innumerable homo circles of Ilcavon to
sing in the bouse of many mansions. If
a now tune be started in church there is
only here and there a person that can
stag it. It is some time before the con
gestion learn a new tune. But not so
tna new song of Heaven. The

the gates, those oa the river bank,
those in the tomplo. Not feeling their
way through it, or halting, or going
back.as if they never before had sung it,
but with a full round voice they throw
their soul into this new song. If some
Sabbath day a few notesof that anthem
should travel down the air, whconld not
sing it. No organ could roll its thun
der, no harp could catch its thrill. No
lipcould announce its sweetness. Trans
fixed, lost, enchanted, dumb, we could
not hear it—tho faintest note of tho
new song. Yet, while I speak. Heav
en's cathedral quakes under it, and
seas of glory bear it from beach to
beach, and ten thousand times ten thou
sand, and thousands of thounsands, sing
it—“the new song."
Further, it is a commemorative song.
We were distinctly told that it makes
reference to past doliveroncos. Oh,
how much have they to sing about.
They sing of tho darkness through
which on earth they passed, and it is
a night song. That ono was killed at
Yorktown, and with him it is a battle
song. That one was imprisoned for
Christ's sake, and with him it is a
prison song. That was a Christian
sailor boy that had his back broken on
the ship's halyards, and with him it is
a sailor's song. That ono burned at
Smithfiold, and* with him it is a fire
song. Oh! how they will sing of floods
w aded, of fires endured, of persecution
suffered, of graco extended! Song
of hail! Song of sword ! song
of hot lead! song of axe! As
when the organ-pipes poal out some
great harmony, thero comes occasion
ally tho sound of tho tremulante, weep
ing through tho cadences, adding ex
quisiteness to the performances, so
amidst tho stupendous acclaim of the
heavenly worshipers shall come tremu
lous remembrances of past endurance,
adding a sweotnos and glory to tho
triumphal strain. So tho glorified
mother will sing of tho cradle that
death robbed; and tho enthroned spirit
from tho alms-houso will sing of a life
time of want. God may wipo away all
tears, but not tho memory of tho grief
that started them!
Further: It will be an accomplished
song, nonw nave a great prejuuice
against musical instruments, ami even
among those who like them, there is an
idea that they are unauthorized. I love
the cymbals, for Israel clapped them in
triumph at tho lied Sea. 1 lovo the harp,
for David struck it in praising the Lord.
1 lovo tho trumpet, for wo are told that
it shall wake tho dead. I lovo all
stringed instruments and organs, for God
demands that wo shall praise Him on
stringed instruments and organs. There
is in such music much to suggest the
higher worship, for I read that when
lie had taken tho book, tho four-and
twenty elders fell down before tho
lamb, having every ono ot them
“harps,” and "I heard tiie voico of the
harpers harping with their harps,” and
“I saw them that had gotten tho vic
tory from tho beast standing on tho sea
of glass, having tho harps of God.”
Yes, the song is to ho accompanied.
You say that all this is figurative.
Then I .ay,prove it. I do not know how
much of it is litoral, and how much of
it is figurative. Who can say hut that
from some of tho precious woods of
earth and Heaven there may not be
mado instruments of celestial accord.
In that worship David may take tho
harp, and Habakkuk tho shiglonoth;
ami when the great multitudes shall,
following their own inclinations, take
up instruments sweeter than Mozart
ever fingered, or Schumann ever
dreamed of, or Deethoven ever wrote
for, let all Heaven make ready for tho
burst of stupendous minstrelsy, and tho
roll of tho eternal orchestra!
Further: It will be an anticipativo
song. Why, my friends. Heaven has
hardly begun yet. If you had taken
tho opening piece of music to-day for
the whole service, you would not have
mado so great a mistake as to suppose
that Heaven is fully inaugurated.
Festal choruses on earth last only a
short while. Tho famous musical con
vocation at Dusseldorf ondod with tho
fourth day. Our holidays last only
eight or ten hours; but Heaven,
although singing for so many years, has
only just begun “tho new song.”
If tho glorified inhabitants recount
past deliverances, they will also en
kindle at glories to come. If, at nino
o’clock, when tho church opened, you
had taken iho few people who were
scattered through it as the main audi
ence, you would not have mado so great
ii in is in lit* us ii yuu hujipus^u ui<u uiu
present population of Heaven are to be
its chief citizenship. Although millions
aro already there, the inhabitants are
only a handful compared with tho future
populations. All China is yet to bo
saved. All India is yet to bo saved. All
Borneo is yet to be saved. All Switzer
land is yet to be saved. All Italy is yet
to be saved. All Spain is yet to bo
saved. All Russia is yet to be saved.
All l-'rance is yet to bo saved. All En
gland is yet to bo saved. All America
is yet to bo saved. All the world is yet
to bo saved. After that thore may bo
other worlds to conquer. I do not know
but that every star that glitters in our
nights is an inhabited world, and that
from all those spheres a mighty host
aro to march into our Heaven. There
will bo no gate to keep them out. We
do not want to keep them out Wo will
not want to keep them out God will
not want to keep them out*
I have sometimes thought that all tho
millions of earth that go into glory aro
but a very small colony compared with
tho influx from tho whole universe. God
could build a Heaven large enough not
only for tho universe, but for ten thou
sand universes. I do not know just how
it will be, but this I know, that Heavon
is to be constantly augmented; and that
the song of glory is rising higher and
higher, and tho procession is being
multiplied. If lloaven sang when Abel
went up—tho first soul that ever left
earth for glory—how must it sing now
when souls go up in flocks from all
Christendom, hour by hour and moment
by moment?
Our happy gatherings on earth are
chilled by the thought that soon wo
must separate. Thanksgiving and
Christmas days come, and tho rail*trains
flying thither aro crowded. Glad re
unions take place. Wo have a timo of
great enjoyment. But soon it is “good
bye in the ball,” “good-byo” at the
* door, “good-bye” on tho street,
“good-byo” on tho rail train,
“good-byo” at tho steamboat wharf.
We meet in church. It is good to be
here. But soon the doxology will be
sung, the benodiction pronounced, and
the audience will be gone. But there
are no separations, no good-byes in
Heaven. At tho door of the bouse of
many mansions, no good-byo. At the
pearly gate, no good-bye. Tho 6ong
will be more pleasant, because we aro
to sing It Mightier song as our
I friends come in. Mightier song
i *4 i/hm furiandi are <m tba brew
of Jesus. Mightier song ss Christ's
glories unfold.
If the first day we enter Heaven we
sing well, tho next day we sing better.
Song anticipate of more light, of more
love, of more triumphs. Always some
thing new to hear, something new to
see. Many good people suppose that we
shall see Heaven the first day we get
there. No. You can not see London in
two weeks. You ran not see Rome in
six weeks. You can not see Ven
ice in a month. You can not see tho
great City of the New Jerusalem in a
day. No; it will take all eternity to
see Heaven, to count tho towers, to ox
amino the trophies, to gaze upon tho
throne, to see the h^rarchs. Ages on
ages ro!!, and yet Heaven is now! The
streets now! Tho temple now! The
joy new! The song new!
I staid a week at Niagara Falls, hop
ing thoroughly to understand and ap
preciate it. liut on the lsst day they
seemed newer and more incomprehen
sible than on tho first day. Mazing on
the infinite rush of celestial splendors,
where tho oceans of delight meet and
pour themselves into tho great heart of
God—how soon will we exhaust the
song? Never! Neverl
Tho old preachers, in describing the
sorrows of the lost, used to lift up thoir
hands and shout: “Tho wrath to come!”
“The wrath to come!” To-day I lift up
my hands and looking toward the
great futuro, cry: "The joy to come!”
"Tho bliss to come!” Oh, to wander on
the hanks of the bright river, and yot
to fool that a littlo further down wo
shall find still brighter floodsentering
into it! Oh, to stand a thousand years,
listening to tho enchanting music of
Heaven, and then to find out that tho
harpers are only tuning their harps.
Finally, I remark, that it will le a
unanimous song. There will no doubt,
be some to lead, but all will bo expected
to join. It will be grand congregation
al singing. All the sweet voices of the
redeemed! Grand music it will be,
when that new song arises. Luther
sings it Charles Wosley sings it
Lowell Mason sings it Our voices now
maybe harsh and our ears uncultivated,
but our throats cleared at last and our
capacities enlarged, you and I will not
be ashamed to utter our voices aa loud
iy as any or them.
Those nations that have always been
distinguished for thoir capacity in song
will lift up their voices in that melody.
Those who have had much opportunity
to hear tho Gormans sing will know
what idea I mean to give, when I say
that tho great Gorman Nation will pour
their deep, full voices into the new song,
Every body knows tho natural gift of
the African for singing. No singing on
this continent liko that of tho colored
churches of tho South. Every body
going to Richmond or to Charleston
wants to hoar tho Africans sing. Rut
when not only Ethiopia, but all that
continent of darkness, lifts up its
bands, and all Africa pours hor great
volume of voice into the now song—that
will ho music for you. Added to this
are all tho sixteen thousand millions
of children that are estimated to havo
gone into glory, and tho host of young
and old that hereafter shall people tho
oarth and inhabit the stars.
Oh! the now song! Gather it all up!
Multiply it with every sweetness! Poui
into it every harmony! Crow n it with
every gladness! Reat it with every
splendor! Fire it with every glory!
Toss it to tho greatest height of maj
esty! Roll it to tho grandest cycle of
otornity!—and then you have but the
faintest conception of what John ex
perienced when, amidst the magnidcenco
of apocalyptic vision, ho heard it—the
now song!
God grant that at last we may all
sing it Rut if wo do not sing the
praise of Christ upon earth we will
never sing it in Heaven. Re sure that
your hearts are now attuned for the
heavenly worship. There is a cathe
dral in Europo with an organ at each
end. Organ answers organ, and the
music waves backward and forward with
indescribable effect Well, my friends,
the time will come when
earth and Heaven will bo but differ
ent parts of one great accord. It will be
joy hero and joy there! Jesus here and
Jesus there! Trumpet to trumpet! Or
gan to organ! Hallelujah tohallelujah!
“Until the day break and tho shadows
flee away, turn, my beloved, and bo
thou like a roe or a young hart upon the
mountains of Rether!”

Down ix Mountain Slope.
Mountain-climbing has its diversionf
as well as its terrors and excitements.
Victor Tissot, in La Suisse Inconnue,
describes an amusing experience in
Switzerland whilo descending tho l’ic
Languard:
Tho descent was accomplished in an
hour. It was a pleasure party, a fote.
1 found myself with a gay party of Aus
trian tourists, with whom I speedily
becamo acquainted. Arriving at tho
top of a great declivity of frozen snow,
tho guido stopped and asked, address
ing himself to tho ladies: “Should you
like to amuse yourselves a little?” “Wo
should not bo Viennese if wo refused.
Yos, lot us amuso ourselves. Tho snow
is so delightful.” Impatient and cu
rious, they quickly grouped themselves
about tho guide. "Well, we will de
scend this beautiful snowy siopo in a
few minutes without the smallest dan
ger. It is only necessary that the ladies
should have courage. This is how we
proceed: Each gentleman must seat
himself and take a lady behind him,
holding her firmly by the ankles. At
my signal you must all lot yourselves
slido down. It is not difficult, and we
shall gain half an hour.” This manner
of descending, much used in tho Alps,
was new to tho ladies, and seemed to
them both droll and original. Each of
us seated oursolve3 on an overcoat,
folded in four, and tho ladies on their
shawls, which were drawn over their
knees. At the word of command wo sot
off, dragging our companions, laughing
and uttering littio shrieks. Somo awk
ward couples came to grief, but not
seriously, and tho adventuro terminat
ed without further accident. At the
foot of tho siopo the travelers, a little
giddy from the headlong journey, rose,
powdered with snow, and shook them
selves like water-dogs which had just
crossed a river._

THE PEOPLE OF CAPRI.
Tliey Arp VffT ConndlRg Nnd Cllvrn II
l.onk on Life** llrlitht *1*1*.
I The Capreso, as tho people of Capri
•re called, are simple, very confiding,
grateful for kindness, easily amused,
and given to look on the bright side ol
life. They are industrious, and have a
keen eye to tho “main chance." They
are not poor, comparativelv speaking,
and there are no theives. Hy thieves I
mean robbers on a largo scale. The
pe asants who have no gardens will steal
a few vegetables from their richer
neighliors when they can get tho
chance, and servants will add a solda
or two to the price of every article
they get for the padrone. On the other
band, houses may be left open day and
night without fear, and money in
unlocked drawers is perfectly safe. It
is argued that the difficulty there would
bo in conveying stolen goods secretly
and speedily oil the island explains tho
scarcity of thieves, but a reason for
good behavior may also bo found, I
think, in tho absence of that squalid
misery which is a chief incentive tc
crime.
The Capreso are religious—which does
not prevent them from swindling
Jonttieri as much as possible. “Protest
ants were made to be fleeced," urge the
priests. Their religious ideas, as is
natural with so practical s people, take
a very practical form. If the fishermen
attend mass regularly, Sant’ Antonio,
patron saint of fishermen, will be so
pleased that ho will beg tho good God
to send them a fine harvest of fish. The
masses, therefore, are always addressed
to a largo and devout congregation.
And so it is in all their dealings with
tho higher powers. So much devo
tion and money spent in wax candles,
processions and fire-works—for which
the saints appear to have a peculiar
partiality—so much worldly prosperity.
The motive seems low, but at any rate
the people believe profoundly in the
gods above—their devotion is real, and
there is no pretense at a faith for the
sake of appearances. They believe also
that the recitation of a certain number
of aves and paternosters will help to
heal wounds and sores, aches and pains,
of every description. The altar of the
Madonna is surrounded by little waxen
effigies of arms, logs, hearts and so
forth, showing how potent are her
pleadings with the Trinity—for tho
waxen arms etc., corresponded to fleshy
members which have been healod by
means of her intercessions.—Cornhill
Magazine. _
GRASSHOPPER WAR.
Fourteen Thousand Men Are Fighting tin
Flugue in Algeria.
Immense swarms of grasshoppers have
invaded parts of tho country of Algeria
and aro spoiling lots of things. Two
thousand soidiors, aided by 12,000
Arabs, have been employed to fight tho
pest. Tho roadways present tho ap
pearance of a battle-field, and extraor
dinary efforts are being made to rid tho
surrounding country of this insect ene
my.
This is not tho first time that this
plaguo has devastated Algoria. In 1S45
tho harvests of almost the entire coun
try were destroyed by grasshoppers.
From 1747 to 1749 these insects deso
lated Algeria, extending their ravages
even to parts of Europe.
Millions on millions of tho dead
bodies of those insects aro covering at
present the great roadway leading from
Mascara to Mostaganim and filling tho
springs and rivers. The task of killing
these masses of grasshonpers is no
small one. Imagino a district of one
hundred milos in circumference, which
not long ago was covered with wheat,
tobacco, and lig and olive trees, but
now is so densely covered with grass
hoppers that not a single green branch
or leaf can t>o seen. For three years a
distinguished Parisan naturalist, M.
Kunkel, lias been studying how to ex
terminate these creatures. The host
plan seems to lie that of stamping the
moving, quivering heaps with tho bare
feet. Shovels and other sharp instru
ments are used, but it has been noticed
that tho elastic layers of grasshoppers
tend to rebound after pressure and only
tho layers on top aro crushed. Large
fires have also been lighted, but tho
dense smoke arising from tho flames is
only partly effective in preventing tho
descent of theso all-devouring swarms.

Old Paris is vastly interesting and
»asy to visit, too; ll'Artagnan would
have stared at its modern map and
would hardly have found the city of
ltHS upon it; for of tho 108 or so of ruled
squares; which barely includo tho me
tropolis of to-day, a dozen cover the
town of tho Muskeeters, tho walls of
which upon tho right hank of tho
Seine cut straight across the garden of
the Tuilories, sliced oil a corner of the
present Calais Royal Gardens, ran
northeast to tho boulevards, then
really what their name signifies—forti
fied ramparts—and followed them to
the l!astile.
Even during the youth of tho muska

sieges of great cities wero out of fashion.
Henry 11. had lowered tho walls, and
Richelieu broached them to make way
for tho Calais Cardinal, which his last
will changed into tho Calais Royal and
the property of tho King.
Tho bourgeois life had flowed over
tho ramparts long since, or struggled
out through tho fortified gates into the

We ve heard of a woman
who said she’d walk five miles

a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it—try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
one’s been taken you’ll know
that there’s a remedy to help
you. Then you’ll keep on
and a cure ’ll come.
But if you shouldn’t feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results—you’ll find a
guarantee printed on the bot

money back for you.

Every one at times is affected with
a dry scalp. The head seems full of
dandruff, and by simply running the
fingers through the hair a shower of
white, dust-like substance is caused.
This indicates that the head needs a
tonic, otherwise the hair will soon
begin falling out. There is no greater
scalp tonic made than the
Louisiana Creole Hair Restorer,
and the prompt application of the
compound might save you many trou
blesome hours. This restorative will
not only restore your scalp to a healthy
condition, but if your hair is gray it
will restore it to its natural color

You work in all weather. You want an “all

in tho world. No frail rubber affair that will'*

and lasts but a short time. Fo-tr teamsters out o| ;

They are the only teamsters' waterproof coats that1
are light, stronar, durable, and cheap. They coat
very little, and last a lor g time. They never get 1
