The author dropped into the opera bax of a parvenue friend one evening when “The Magic Flute” was on the bills, After asking him who wrote the music, the woman sald: “Mozart? Mo- zart? Never heard of him before. He's immense! Why isn't he here? Why isn't he doing something else? Why isn't he composing?’ “Because he's decomposing, my dear lady,” answered Gilbert. ee ————— Increase of Freight Cars, According to Rallroad Gazette, the railroad companies have ordered 23,000 freight cars this year, at a cost of $10,000,000, the —————————— Every girl knows of some man who “perfectly ldolizes™ his wife.

DR TALMAGE. The Eminent Washington Divine's Sunday Sermon. Subject: “Handwriting on the Wall.” Texr: ‘In that night was Baishazzar, the King ol the Chaldeans, slain.” Daniel, v., 30. Night was about to come down on Baby- lon. The shadows of her 250 towers began to lengthen, The Euphrates rolled on, touched by the flery splendors of the setting sun, and gates of brass, burnished and glit- tering, opened and shut like doors of flame The hanging gardens of Babylon, wet with the heavy dew, began to pour from starlit flowers and dripping leal a fragrance for many miles around. The streets and Squares were lighted for dances and frolic and prom- enade. The theaters and galleries of art invited the wealth and pomp and grandeur of the city to rare entertainments. Boenes of riot and wassail were mingled in every street, and godless mirth and outrageous excess and splendid wickedness came to the king's palace to do their mightiest deeds of darkness, A royal feast to-night at the king's palace!

So we must always de | cinre the message that happens to come to us, Daniel must read it as it is. A minister | preached before James 1 of England, who | was James VI of Scotland, Want subject did he take? The king was noted all over tine world for being unssttied and wavering in his ideas. What did the minister preach about to this man who was James I. of Eng- lang and James Vi, of Scotland? He took for his text James i,, 6: “He that wavereth is like sn wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” Hugh Latimer offended the king by a sermon he preashed, and the king said, ‘Hugh Latimer, coms and apologize.” “I will” said Hugh Lati- mer. Ho the day was appointed, and the king's chapel was full of Pn and dukes and the mighty men and women of the country, for Hugh Latimer was to apoligize, He begun his sermon by saying: * ugh Latimer, bethink thee! Thou artin the presence of thine earthly king, who oan doe Stroy thy body. But bethink thee, Hugh Latimer, toat thou art in the presences of the King of heuven and eartn, who ean destroy | both body and soul in hell fire.” Then he | reached with appalling directness at the ug's erimes, Another lesson that comes to us to-night there is a great difference between the open. ing of the banquet of sin and its eioss, | Youag man, if you had looked in upon the banquet in the first few hours, you would | | have wished you hal besn invited there and could sit at the feast, “Oh, the grandeur of Belshazzar's feast!” you would have banquet and your blood curdles with hor- ror. The king of terrors has there = ghast- lier banquet. Human blood is the wine and dying groans are the music. Sin has made itself a king in the earth, It has erowned itself. It has spread a banquet, It invites all the world to come to it. It has hung in its banqueting hall the spoils of all king- doms and the banners of all Nations. gathered from all musie, from {its wealth the tables and arches, And yet how often is that banquet broken up and how horrible is its end!
