Saved Through Chess, In 1396 Mohammed Balba usurped the crown of Granada in spite of the superior claims of his elder brother Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in his conduct of the war against the Christians and was at length assassi- pated by polson absorbed through his skin from a shirt. He entertained a desperate dislike to the brother whom he had injured, and when he knew that his own fate was sealed he sent an order to the governor of the prison in which Jussef was confined that he thould be executed immediately, When the order arrived Jussef was playing hess with the chaplain of the prison With great difficulty Jussef obtained a respite from the governor permitting aim to finish the game. Before it was snded, however, news came that the isurper had died of the poison. This ranceled the order execution and Jussef, instead going to the scaf- fold, mounted the throne. of of Waiter—Kin Ah bring yo' an ’ade, sah? Jollyboy- you? Waiter—I.emonade, limeade, sah?

Wasnixorox, D, O,—This sermon by Dr, ently to all elnsses and conditions of men, lis text is Deuteronomy vil. 20, “The Lord thy God will send the hornet,” In my text the hornet files out on its mis- slon, Itis a species of wasp, swift in its motion apd A iv in its sting. Its touch is torture to man or beast, We have all seen the cattle run bellowing under the out of its lancet, In boyhood we used to stand cautiously looking at the globular nest bung from the tres branch, and while we were looking at the wonderful covering we were struck with something that sent us shrieking away, The hornet goes in swarme, it has oeaptalns over hundreds, and twenty of them alighting on one man will produce certain death, My friends, when we are assaulted by great behemoths of trouble we become ehivalrie, and we assault them, the high mettied stead of our courage, and we make a cavalry ehaige at them, and if better than when we went in, these Infeotile annoyances of Hie, these foes too small to shoot, these things with- out any avoirdupols sgreight, the guats and the hornets! In other words, it smal, saoeing annoyances of which drive uz out and use us up, best is the our In the conditioned life for some grand and I remark, In the first place, that these small, stinging annoyances may come in the shape of a nervous organization, ple who are prostPuted under fevers or with broken bones get plenty of sympathy, but who pities anybody that is nervous? The doctors say and the family little nervous; that's ali!” The sound of a heavy foot, the harsh clearing of a throat, a discord in musie, a want of barmony be. tween the shawl and the glove on the same person, a curt answer, a passing slight, the wind from the east, any ope of ten thou. sand annoyances, opens the door for the hornet. The fact is that the vast majority of the people in this country are over. worked, and their nerves are the first to give out, A great multitude are under the straiu of Leyden, who, when he was told by his physician that if be did not stop cal health he would die, responded, “Dos. tor, whether I live or die, the wheel must kesp going round.” These ssusitive per. sons of whom I speak have a bleeding sen- sitivenoss, The files love to light on any- thing raw; and thess people are like the Cauaanites spoken of in the text or in the context--they have a very thin covering and are vuinerable at all polats. “And the Lord sent the hornet,” Again, the small insest annoyances may eome io us in the shape of friends and ac. qualintances who are always saviog dis. agreeable things, There are some pee ou eapnot be with hail uu feel Cc eered * C tf tre are other peop t five minutes bef the var it.

Nobo sympathize with it, but at the time wien you want your istelioot clearest and our disposition brightest you feel a sharp, tn. disconcerting thrust, sent the hornet Perbaps these small insect Anhovances will come in the shape of a domestic irri tation. The parior and the kitchen do not always harmonize. To get good service and keep it is one of the great questions of the country. Sometimes it may be the ar. rogatoce and inconsiderateness of employ. ers; but, whatever be the fact, we ail ad. mit there are these ipsect winging thelr way out from the culinary department. If the grace of God be not in the heart of the housekeeper, she cannot maintain her illibrium. The men come bome at night and bear the story of these annoyances and say, “Ob, these home troubles are very little things!” They are small, small as wasps, but they sting. Martha's nerves were all unsirung when she rushed in asking Christ to scold Mary, and there are tens of thousands of womens who are dying, stung to death by these pestiferons domestic annovances, “The Lord sent the hornet,” Thess small insect disturbances may also aome in the shape of business irritations, There are men bere who went through the 24th of September, 1880, and the panies of 1873 and of 1803 without losing their balance who are every day unhorsed by lit. tie annoyances—a clerk's ill manners, ora blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the ax- travagance of a partner who overdraws his nceonnt or the underseiling by a business rival, or the whispering of store confi- dences in the street, or tue making of some Jittio bad debt which was against your judg. ment, but you wanted to please somebody eine, It is not the panics that kill the mer. chants. Panles come only ones in ten or twenty years, It is the constant din of these everyday annoyances which is send. ing so many of our best merchants into nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the grave, When our national commerce fell fiat on its face, these mon stood up and feit almost deflant, but their life is going away now under tho swarm of these pestiferous annoyances, ‘The Lord sent the hornet.” The naturalist tells ua that a wasp some. times had a family of 20,000 wasps, and it does seem as if avery annoyance of your life brooded a million, By the help of God, to-day I want to show you the other side, Oh, yes! The naturalist tells us they are very fmportant best is Just and they clear the atmosphere. And really believe God sends the annoyances of our life upon us to Kill the spiders of the soul and to clear the atmosphere of our skies, These annoyansnss aro sent onus, I think, to wake us up from our lethargy. There It we had a bed of svery. easy, what would we want of heaven?

The only time to cultivate it is when you are lied about and sick and half dead, “OL,” you say, it only had the oir. cumstances of some well to do man I would be patient too.” You might as well say, | “It it were not for this water, { would | swim,” or, "I conld shecot this gan if it wore pot for the cartridge.” When vou stand chin deep {on annoyances is the time for you to swim out toward the great beadlands of Christian attaloment. so us to “know Clirist and the vower of His re. surrection and to have fellowship with His sufferings.” Nothing but the furnace will ever burn out of us the clinker and the Mag.
