"REY. DI. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINEKE'S SUN. DAY SERMON, Subject: "The Lord's Mercies,” Text: “Beasts, and all cattle; ereeping | things and flying fowl; both young men and maidens; old men and children; let them praise the name of the Lord." —Psalm exlviii, 10, 12 and 13. What a scene it was when last Thursday, at the call of the President and Governors, this nation assembled to chant the praises of God. But the day was too short to celebrate the divine goodness of such a year, The sun did not rise over Brookiyn until one minute before seven o'clock that morning. and it set four o'clock and thirty-five minutes that evening. What a small space of time in which to meditate upon twelve months of benefactions. So 1 add to that day this Sabbath morning service, and with the fruits and harvests of the earth still glorifying the pulpit and the galleries, ask you to continue the rebearsal of the divine goodness, By a sublime egotism man has come to ap propriate this world to himself, when the act is that our race 1s in a small minority The instances of human life, as compared with the instances of animal life, are not one to a million. We shall enlarge our ideas of God's goodness and come to a better un- derstanding of the text if, befors we coms to look at the cup of our blessing, at the goodness of God to the creation Although nature is out of joint, yet even in its disruption lam surprised to find th almost universal happiness of the animal creation, Un a summer day, when the air and the grass are most populous with li you will not hear a round of distress unles perchance, a heartless schooll a bird's nest, or a hunter has broken s wing, or a pasture has be ro lamb and there goes up a bleat flocks. 3 The whole earth i i light— joy feather " nd horned and hoofed.

If young birds were taken from the nest for food, the despoiler's life depended on the mother or free. God would not let the mother sufler in one day the loss of her young and her own liberty.

A new style of being wascreated, Heaven and earth were re presented in his nature. His body from the earth beneath: his soul from the heaven above. The one reminding him of Ws origin, the other speaking of his destiny himself the connecting link between the animal crea- tion and angelic intelligence. In hima strange commingling of the temporal and eternal, the finite and the infinite, dust and glory, The earth for his floor and heaven for hix roof, God for his Father; eternity for his lifetime, The Christian anatomist, gazing upon the confirmation of the human body, exclaims, “Fearfully and wonderfully made.” No embroidery so elaborate, no gauze so deli cate, no color so exquisite, no mechanism so graceful, no handiwork so divine. Bo quietly and mysteriously does the human boay per- form its functions that it was not antil five thousand years after the creation of the race that the circulation of the blood was discov ered; and though anatomists of all countries and ages have bven so long exploring this castle of life, they have only begun to un derstand it, Volumes have been written of the hand.

The ordinary sprain asa rule receives but littie attention, and the indifference | with which it is regarded often leads to | serious after effects. If the stream of running water which most people know enough to have recourse to in case of sprain be supplemented by the appli- cation of a plaster com of one part of carbonate of lead and two parts of olive oil in ordinary cases very little subsequent trouble is likely to arise. So effective is this plaster that Dr. Duba- mel, who has been trying its effect in Paris on a number of hospital patients, most of whom were suffering from sprains of the sokle, states that his ts were able to walk as soon as the plaster and retaining dressing had been applied, — Chicago News. “At the time of her death,” said Wilkins, “Mrs, fn her husband's shi " oor 4.

Ranching though the least known, is the oldest industry in Florida. For a great number of years cattle raising for the Cuban and West Indian markets has been an occupation of the active Flori. dan. From Punta Gorda and Punta Ras- sa, ports of Charlloie harbor, about 10,. 000 head of cattle are annually exported to Cuba, They are not fattened, and, indeed, are only rounded up just before exportation; consequently the beef is wretched stuff, and the $14 or £15 paid quite as much as they are worth, The pasture 1s poor and the breed still poor- er; and, although there is a movement afoot to improve both, there can be little doubt that as the southern countries are settled, herds will diminish in size and the range of pasturage be greatly restrict- | ed.
