The American Crowds
While he was still in this country
Prince Henry was reported to have said
handsome things about the American
crowds. Now that he has arrived home
they are still his theme. “Nowhere else
in the world are the crowds so well be
haved as in America, and they them-
selves are their own controllers.” The
point of the compliment to the German
mind will be found in the last sentence
No crowd in Germany, on an occasion
similar to the demonstrations which at-
tended Prince Henry here, would be suf
fered to be its own controller. Soldiers
by the thousand would control it. It
would not be safe to let a crowd be un
controlled, not safe for the guests, the |
to be controlled by show of force. A
people which governs itself, choosing the |
administrators of the laws, from highest |
to lowest, gets a training 1
that serves upon all occasions of
nary excitement.

The Wrong Funeral.
“Look here, my dear,” said the man
to his wife as he glanced through the
obituary notices in the paper, “here 1s
poor Aunt Jane dead; she is going to be
buried this evening, and 1 ought to go to
the funeral” ;
“Of course you should,” said Dear;
“you must get ready at once and hurry
off.”
In ten minutes the man was on the
street car and in half an hour in the
church where the service was to be held.
It was a long time since he had seen
Aunt Jane (he was a busy man), and
he had almost forgotten her existence.
But as he sat there in the big bare
church a feeling of sadness stole over
him. He remembered the early days of
his childhood, when Aunt Jane was a
frequent visitor at the house, and the
many little kindnesses she had done for
him. His childhood seemed far
away: there had been so many changes
since, so many of the people associated
with it bed passed away, and, as he
thought of it all, the tears rose to his
eves. The ceremony proceeded and the
mourners at last passed up to the front
for a last look at the face of the dear
one. The man, his eves still moist, stop-
ped suddenly for a second as he looked
upon the quiet face, and then he looked
again. He had not seen Aunt Jane for a
long time, but he knew her well enough
to know that while this was a woman of
about the same age and evidently the
same name, it was not Aunt Jane. He
drew a long breath as he passed down
the aisle and out into the street, and now
he does not attend

~ HEAVENLY LIFE.
Rev. Dr. Talmage Says the Busiesd
Place in the Universe is Heaven
A Glimpse of the King's Palace—An Impress
ive Half Hear in Eternity.
Wasmxaron, D. C.—In the following
discourse, prepared by Dr. Talmage before
his illness, a vivid glimpse of the splen-
dors and glories of heavenly life is pre-
sented: text, Revelation wai, 1, “There
was silence in heaven about the space of
balf an hour.” c
The busiest place in the universe is
heaven. It is the eentre from which all
good influences start; it is the goal al
which all good results arrive, ‘The Bible
represents it as active with wheels and
wings and orchestras and processions
mounted or charioted. But my text de-
scribes a space when the wheels ceased to
roll and the trumpets to sound and the
voices to chant, The riders on the white
horses reined in their charges. The doxol-
ogies were hushed and processions halted.
The hand of arrest was upon all the splen-
dor. “Stop heaven!” eried an onmmipo-
tent voice, and it stopped. For thirty
minutes everything celestial stood still.
“There was silence in heaven about the
space of half an hour.”
From all we can learn is the only
time heaven ever stopped. It does not
stop as other cities for the night, for there
is no night there. It does not stop for a
plague, for the inhabitant never says, “I
am sick.” It does not stop for bankrupt
cies, for its. inhabitants never fail. It
does not stop for impassable streets, for
there are no fallen snows or sweepiug
freshets.. What, then, stopped it for thir
{ ty minutes? Grotius and ofessor Stuart
| think it was at the time of the destruction
of Jerusalem. Mr. Lard thinks it was in
the year 311, between the close of the Dio
cletian persecution and the beginning oi
the wars by which Canstantine gained the
throne. But that was all a guess, though
| a learned and brilliapt guess. 1 do noi
{ know when it was and I do not care when
it was, but of the fact that such an inter.
regnum of sound took place I am certain.
: Toere was silence in heaven about the
| space of half an hour.”
| _And, first of all, we learn that God and
i all heaven then honored silence. The
| longest and widest domain that ever ex-
isted is that over which stillness was
| queen. For an eternity there had not
been a sound. World making was a later
day occupation For unimaginable ages
it was a mute universe. God was the only
| being, and as there was no one to speak
, to there was no utterance. But that w-
lence has all been broken up in to worlds,
and it has become a noisy universe.

ook out for the fragments of time.
They are pieces of eternity, It was the
half hours between shoeing horses that
made Elihu Burritt, the learned black:
smith, the half hours between professional
calls as a physician that made Abererom-
bie the rrirtian philosopher, the half
hours between his duties as schoolmaster
that made Salmon P. Chase Chief Justice,
the half hours between shoe lasts that
made Henry Wilson Vice-President of the
United Btates, the half hours between
canalboats that made James A, Garfield
President.
The half hour a day for good books or
or indolence, the half hour a day for heip-
ing others or blasting others, the half hour
before you go to business and the half
hour after you return from business—that
makes the difference between the scholar
and the ignoramus, between the Christian
and the infide], between the saint and the
demon, between triumph and catastrophe,
between heaven and hell,
The most tremendous things of
life and mine were certain half hours. The
half hour when in the parsonage of a
country minister 1 resoived to become a
Christian then and there, the half hour
when 1 decided to become a preacher of
the gospel, the half hour when 1 first re-
alized that my son was dead, the half hour
when 1 stood on the top of my house in
Oxford street and saw our church burs,
the half hour in which I entered Jerusa-
lem, the half hour in which I stopped on
Mount Calvary, the half hour in which
stood on Mars Hill and about ten or
fifteen other half hours are the chief times
of my life.
You may forget the name of the exact
vears or most of the important events of
your existence, but those half hours, like
the half hour of my text, will be immor-
tal.. I do not query what you will do with
the twentieth century, I do not query
what you will do with this year, but what
will you do with the next half hour?
Upon that hinges your destiny, and dur:
ing that some of you will receive the gospel
and make complete surrender, and during
that others of you will make final and fa-
tal rejection of the full and free and urgent
and impass.oned offer of life eternal
Oh, that the next half hour might be
the most glorious thirty minutes of your
earthly existence!

The day will come when you can see heav.
en in full blast, but not now. I am now
only showing you heaven at the dullest
half hour of all etermities. Come on!
There is something in the celestial ap-
earance which makes me think that the
alf hour of silence will soon be over.
Yonder are the white horses being hitched
to chariots, and yonder are Th finger-
ing harps as if about to strike them into
symphohy, and yonder are conquerors
taking down from the blue halls of heav-
en the Srutibets of victory. Remember
we are mortal yet and cannot endure the
full roll of heavenly harmonies and can-
pot endure even the silent heaven for more
than half an hour.
Hark! The clock in the tower of heaven
begins to strike, and the half hour is end:
ed. Descend! Come back! Come down
till your work is dome. Shoulder a little
longer your burdens. Fight a little longer
your battles. Weep a little longer your
rigs. And then take heaven mot in its
duliest half hour, but in ite mightiest
pomp, and, instead of taking it for thirty
minutes, take it world without end.

St. Jacobs Oil.
SERGEANT JEREMIAs Maumr, of Ard
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: “My
friend, Mr. Thomas Hand, has been a great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without a stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. 1 induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid of a stick, and after
a few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since;
and although fifty years of age and a farmer,
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficalty whatever.”
