THE WINGS OF LOYE. A Lesson on tbe Strength and Good ness of God as Shown by THE BEAUTIFUL STOEI OP EUTH. Grace and Help Xear at Hand at ill Times for AH Who TECST TVH0LM IX THE ALMGHTI VSrECIAI. MlMKAJt TO Tin DISPJLTCB.1 Bbookly-, September 14. The subject of the discourse by Dr. Talmage to-day is "Wings of Love," the famous preacher taking for his text the words: "The Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust." Ruth ii., 12. Scene An Oriental harvest field. Grain standing. Grain in swaths. Grain in sheaves. At the side of the field, a white tent in which to take the nooning, jars of vinegar or of sour wine to quench the thirst of this hot working people. Swarthy men striking their sickles into the rnstling barley. Others twisting the bands for the sheaves, putting one ond of the band under the arm, and -with the free arm ana foot collecting the sheaf. Sunburned women picking up the stray straws and bringing them to the binders. Boaz, a fine-looking Oriental, Cray-bearded and bright-faced, the owner of the field, looking on. and estimating the ralue of tbe grain and calculating so many epbahs to tbe acre; and, with his large, sympathetic heart, pit me the overtasked workmen and tbe women, iwthwhite faces enough to faint, in the hut noonday sun. Bat there is one woman who especially attracts tbe man's attention. She is soun to be ith him the joint ownerof the field. J-he has conic from a distant land for the sole purpose of beimr kind to an aged woman. I know not w hat her features were; but when tbo lord God cts behind a woman's face the lamp oi courace, and faith, and self-sacrifice, there cuines out a glory independent of features. She is tfi be the ancestress of Jesus Christ. Boaz, tbe owner of the field, as soon as bo understands that it is Rnth, accosts her with a blessing- "A fnll reward be Given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under ibose wings thou art come to trust." Christcompares himself to a hen Catherine the chickens under her wines. In Deuteronomy, God is represented asan eagle stirring up her nest. In a great many places in tlie Psalms. David makes ornithological allu sions; while ray text mentions tbe wines of God. under which a poor, weary soul bad come to trust. WINGS SWIFT AND STEOXG. I ask j our attention, therefore, while, taking the suggestion of my text, I speak to you in all simplicity and love of the wings of the Almighty. First, I remark that they were swift wings under which Ruth had come to trust. There Is nutbing in all tbe handiwork of God more curi ous, than a bird's wine. Yon bavo been sur prised, sometimes, to see how far it could fly with one stroke of the wine; and. when it has food in prospect, or when it is affrighted, the pulsations of tbe bird's w in are unimaginable for veli'Citx. the English lords used to pride themselves on the speed of their falcons. These birds, when tamed, had in them tbe dart of liehtnine. How swift were the carrier pigeons in the time of Anthony and at the siege of Je rusalem! Wonderful speed! A carrier pigeon wis t.irown up at Rouen and came down at Ghent 90 miles oiT In one hour. The car rier pigeons were the telegraphs of the olden time swallows have been shot In our lati tude having the undieested rice of Georgia swamps in their crops, showing that they had come 400 inilri in six hours. It has been esti mated that, hi the ten years of a swallow's life it flics far enough to have gone around tbe world S9 times, so great is its velocity. And so the wings of tbe Almighty, spoken of in the text, are swift wings. Ibev are swift when they drop upon a foe, and swift when they came to help God's friends. If a father and his son be walking by tbe way and the child goes too near a precipice, how long does it take for tbe father to deliver the child from J dancer Longer than it takes God to swoop 1 for the rescue of His children. I The fact is that you cannot set away from the f care of God. If you take tbesteamship, orthe swift rail train. He is all the time alone with ou. Whither shall I co from Thy spirit, and Mtber shall I flee from Thy presence? If I -iscend up into heaven Thou art there. If I Juake my bed in hell, behold! Thon art there, 5f I take the wines of tbe moruine and dwellv in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there l Thy hand shall hold me.' 1 IIELr XEAH AT HAND. The Arabian gazelle is swift as the wind. If it gets but one glimpse of the hunter it puts many crags between. Solomon fonr-jorj five turns compares Christ to an Arabian gazelle (calhneitby another name) when he sass: "My beloved is like a roe." Tbe difference is that the roe speeds the other way; Jesus speeds this. Who but Const could have been quick enough to have helped Peter when the water pavement broke? Who but Christ could have been quirk enough to help the Duke of Argyle when, in his dving moment, he cried: '"Good cheer' I could die like a Roman, but I mean to die like a Christian. Come away, gentlemen. Hp who goes first goes cleanest." I had a friend who stood by the rail-track at Carlisle, Pa., when the ammunition had given out at An'ietam; and he saw the train from Harrisbure. freighted with shot and shell, as it went thundering down toward the battlefield. He said that it stopped not for anv cros-ing. They put dow n tbe brakes for no grade. Tbiy held up for no pcnL The wheels were on fire with the speed as they dashed past. It the train did not copie up in time with the ammu mtioi, it might as well not come at all. So, my friends, there are times in our lives when we must have help immediately or perish. The grace that comes too late is no grace at all. W bat von and I want is a God now. Oh! is it not blessed to think that God is always in such quick pursuit of his dear children? When a sinner seeks pardon, or a baffled soul needs help, swifter than thru-di's wine, swifter than ptarmigan s wine, swifter than flamineo's wing, snifter than eagle's wing, are the wings of the Almighty. 1 remark further, carrying out the idea of my text, that the wings under which Ruth had come to trust were very broad wines. There have been eagles shot on tbe Rocky Mountains with wings that were seven feet from tip to tip When the king of the air sits on the crag, the wings are spread over all the eaglets in the erne, and when the eagle starts from the rock tbe shadow is like the spreading of a storm cloud. So the wines of God are broad wings. Ruth bad been under those wings in her in fantile days; in the days of ber happy girlhood in Moab; in the dav when she gave her hand to Mahlon. in ber first marriage: in the day when she weptover his grave: in the day when she trudged out into the wilderness of poverty; in the days w ben she picked up tbe few straws of barley dropped by ancient cas'.om in the way of tbe poor. AID FOH THE DISCONSOLATE. Oh! yes, the wings of God are broad wings. Tbey coterup all our wants, all our sorrows, all our sufferings. He puts one wing over our cradle, and be puts the other over our grave. Yes, my dear f nend, it is not a desert in which we are placed: it is a nest. Sometimes it is a very bard nest, like that of the eagle, spread on the rock, with ragged moss and rough sticks, but still is a nest; and, although it may be very hard under ti", over us are tbe wings of the Almighty. There sometimes comes a period in one's lite when he feels forsaken. You said, "Everj thing is against me. The world is against rue. The church is against me. No sympathy; no hope. Everybody that comes near me thrusts at me. I wonder if there is a G Ki. an j bow r' Everything seems to be going slip-hod and at haphazard. There does not Feeui to be any hand on the helm. Job's health fails. David's Absalom gets to be a reprobate, Marthas brother dies. Abraham's Sarah goes into the crave of Machpelah. Woe worth the day in which 1 was born!" bas said many a Christian. David seemed to scream ont in his sorrow, as he said: "Is His mercy clean gone forever? And will He be favorable no more? And hath He in anger shut up His tender mer cies?" Job, with bis throat swollen and ulceied until he could not even swallow the saliva that ran into his mouth, exclaims: "How long before Thou wilt depart lromme. and leave me alone, that I may i1wallow down my spittle?" Have there never been times in your life when jou envied those who were buried? When you longed for the gravedigger to do bis work for you? Oh, the faithlessness of the human heart! Goo's wings are broad, whether we know it or not. Sometimes the motber-bird goes away from the nest, and it seems very strange that she should leave the callow young. She plunges her beak into the bark of the tree, and she drops into tbe grain field, and into the chaff at the barn door, and into the furrow of the plow boy. Meanwhile, the birds in the nest shiver, and complain, and call, and wonder why the niother.biid does not come back. Ah, she bas gone for food. After a while there is a whirr of wings, and the mother-bird stands on the edce of tbe nest, and the little ones open their mouths, and the food is dropped in; and then the old bird spreads out her leathers, and all is peace. So, sometimes. God leaves us. He goes off to get food for our soul; and then He comes back after a while to the nest, and says, "Open thy mouth wide and I will fill It:" and He drops into it the sweet promises of His grace, and the lnvo of God is shed abroad, and wc are under His wIuct the broad wings of the Almighty. nOOil ENOUGH TOR ALL. Yes; they .are very broad! There is room under those wings for tbe 1,600,000,000 of the race. You say: "Do not get the Invitation too large, for there is nothing more awkward than to have more, guests than accommodations." I know it. The Seamen's Friend Society is in viting all the sailors. Tbo Tract Society is in viting all the destitute. Tbe Sabbath schools are inviting all tbe children. The Missionary Society is inviting all the heathen. The print ing presses of tbe Bible societies are going night and day. doing nothing but printing invi tations to this great Gospel banquetAnd are you not afraid that there will bo more guests than accommodations? No! All who have been invited will not half fill up tbe table of God's supply. There are chairs for more. There are cups for more. God could with one feather of bis wine cover np all those who have come:and when He spreads out both wings, they cover all the earth and all the heavens. Ye Israelites, who went through tbo Red Sea, come under! Ye multitudes who have gone into glorv for the last six thousand years, come under! Ye hundred and forty-four thousand, and the thonsands of thousands, come under! Ye firing cherubim and archangel, fold your pinions, and come under! And yet there is room! Ayl if God would have all tbe space under His wings ocenpied. He must make other worlds, and people them with other myriads, and have other resurrection and judgment days; for broader than all space, broader than thought, wide as eternity, from tin to tip, are tbe wings of the Almighty! Obi under such provision as that can you not rejoice? Come under, ye wandering, ye weary, ye troubled, ye sinning, ye dying souls! Come under tbe wines of the Almlcbty. Whosoever will come, let him come. However ragged, however wretched, however abandoned, however woe-begone, there is room enough under the wings under the broad wings of the Almighty! Oh. what a gospel ! so glorious, so magnificent In its pro vision! I lovo to preach it. It is my life to preach it. It is my heaven to preach it. TIRELESS WINGS. I remark, further, that the wings under which Ruth came to trust were strong wings. The strength of a bird's wing of a seafowl's wing, for example ypu might guess it from tbe fact that sometimes for five, six or seven days It seems to fly without resting. There have been condors in the Andes that could overcome an ox or a stag. There have been eagles that have picked up children, and swung them to the ton of the cliffs. Tbe flap of an oagle's wing has death in it to everrthing it strikes. There are birds whose wings are packed with strength to fly. to hit. to destroy. So the wines of God are strong wings. Mlcbty to save. Mighty to destroy. I preach Him the Lord, strone and mighty the Lord, raizbty in battle!" He flapped-His wing, and the ante diluvian w.orld was gone. He flapped His wing and Babylon perished. He flapped His wing and Herculaneum was buried. He flapped His wing and the Napoleonic dynastv ceased. Before the stroke of that pinion a fleet is nothing. An army is nothing. An empire is notbine. A world Is nothing. Tbe universe is nothing. King Eternal, Omnipotent He asks no counsel from the thrones of heaven. He takes not tbe archangel into His cabinet. He wants none to draw His chariots, for they are the winds. None to load His batteries, for they are tbe lightnings. None to tie tbe san dals of His feet, for they are the clouds. Mighty to save. Our enemies may be strong, our sorrows violent. Our sins may be great. But quicker than an eagle ever hurled from the crags a hawk or raven, will the Lord stnke back our sins and our temptations, if they as sault us when we are once seated on tbe eter nal rock of His salvation. What a blessed thing it is to be defended by the strong wing of tbe Almighty! Stronger than the pelican's wine, stronger than the albatross' wing, stronger than tbe condor's wing, are the wings of the Almighty. GOD'S GENTLENESS. I have only one more thought to present. The wings under which Ruth bad come to trust were centlo wings. There is nothing softer than a feather. You have noticed when a bird returns from flight, how gently it stoops over tbe nest. The young birds are not afraid of having their lives trampled nut by the mother bird: tbe old whippoorwill drops into its nest of leaves, the unole into its casket of bark, the humming-bird into its hammock or moss gentle as tbe light. And so, says the Psalmist, He shall cover thee with His wing. Oh, tbe gentleness of God! But even that figure does not fully set it forth: for I have sometimes looked into tbe bird's nest and seen a dead bird its life having been trampled out by the mother bird. But no one that ever came under the feathers of tbe Almighty was trodden on. Blessed nest! warm nest! Why will men stay out in the cold to be shot of temptation and to be chilled by the blast, when there is divine shelter? More beautiful than any flower I ever saw are the hues of a bird's plumage. Did you ever examine it; the blackbird, floating like a flake of darkness through the sunlight: tbe meadow lark, with bead of fawn and throat of velvet and breast of gold, tbe red flamingo flying over tbe southern swamps like sparks from the force of tho setting sun; tbe pelican white and black morning and night tangled in its wings give but a. very faint idea of the beauty that comes down over tbe soul when on it drop the feathers of the Almighty. Here fold your weary wings. This is the only safe nest. Every other nest will be destroyed. Tbe prophet says so: "Though thou exalt uyseit lite tue eagle, ana set tuy nest iraong the stars, yet will I bring tbee down, aith tbe Lord of Hosts." Under the swift ings. under the broad wtngsTundertbe strong ings. under the gentle wings of the Almighty, nd shelter until these calamities be overpast, hen when you want to change nests, it will nly be from the valley of earth to tbe heights f heaven: and instead of tbe'wines of adore." for which David longed, not knowing that In tbe first mile of their flight they would give ,. ..nn ...111 Y.A AAniYnn,...! ..,'.,.! 1... .1...

THE KAISEH'S A DEAD SHOT. Although Using but One Arm He Handle! a Gun Like n Vciernn. "What renders Emperor William's love for shooting the more remarkable is the fact that his left arm is practically paralyzed. He has trained himself to hold the rein with it when he rides, but that is the sum of its usefulness. The arm is four inches shorter than its fellow and has a malformed hand with only rudimentary fingers. The arm is so wholly limp that" "William has to lift its hand to even place it on the hilt or his sword with his right hand. It is in this posture or else in the breast of his coat that he customarily carries it wfien out of the saddle. At the table he has a combined kni'e and fork, which slide into each other. He uses this with much dex terity, first to cut up his meat and then to eat it all, of course, with one hand. To have become a skilled marksman under such a weighty disadvantage indi cates great patience and determination. William uses a very light English gun, having abandoned in despair the attempt to get any made to bis own liking in Germany, and carries it on his shoulder with the stock behind him. At the proper moment he brings the weapon forward by a movement of his right arm with incredible swiftness and deadly accuracy of aim. THEY "WORSHIP THE CZAE. An Aced Peasant Illustrates the Common Feeling In Russia. New York San. Tbe following incident illustrates how the person of the Czar is idolized by the com mon peasant: An old peasant (Muzhit chok) came to the manager of'the Pilgrim's Home in Taganrog recently with the request that he forward two church bells to Pales tine, and hang them in the steeple of the Church of Elijah, the Prophet. Tbe peasant is over 60 years of age, Antip Petroff Narutchkin by name, and hails from a Tillage in the government of Penza. On October 17 (29). 1888, when the Czar and Cz irina escaped from an explosion on the railroad, he conceived the notion of com memorating the event by giving two bells to the Church of Elijah. He traveled a distance of over 3,500 versts in his small wagon collecting money for his purpose. "When he had collected sufficient funds he returned to his native Govern ment, Penza, where he had the bells cast, with inscriptions as naive as his pious un dertaking was, and, loading them oa his little wagon, took them to Taganrog. Mr. S. S. Tchaykovskiy, the manager of the Pilgrim's Home, made .arrangements to forward the two bells to their place of desti nation, and had photographs taken of the dorior and his horse and wagon.

FARM PEODUCK BRINGS GOOD PRICE Active Trade and Firm Markets in Jobbing , Grocery Lines. FEATURES OF THE WEEK'S BUSINESS Office of Pittsburg Dipatch, I Saturday, September 13, 1890. ( There' has, been a sharp upward move ment In grain the past few days. Short crops are being made the most of by Bulls, more than tbe facts in the case warrant.. The surplus of cereals carried over from last year's abundant yield, added to the yield of this year, will furnish bread enough and to spare, and there is no good ground for the fear of a shortage. "With about 440,000,000 bushels of wheat and 1,700,000.000 ot corn in the land, which latest estimates give, there can be no scar city. The current number of the Christian Union, in its financial article, has t" e fol lowing; "The" reduction from the ISSj pro duction is already working to the ad vantage of every farmer In tbe country, by establishing prices fully 15 to 25 per cent in advance of tbe averago figures of 1SS9. There is indeed no question tbat the product conditions of onr staples are much more favorable, financially, to the producer than for years, due to several causes. The general agitation about the need of more pro tection to the farmer is. we apprehend, more political than real; our political situation, like tbe fashionable world, seems to take on new fads and to dismiss old ones with a rather re markable facility of late years, showing that political parties are on the alert for new issues, but are not very familiar with tbe facts tbat should influence their selection cr rejection." Activity In Groceries. Jobbers here report active moveme: t of gro ceries during the week. Sugar is He below prices of Monday. Green coffee has advanced in the East, but packages continue in the same old rut. The new tariff bill.. to go into effect October 1, puts an addition of 2Jc per pound on raisins and 2c on prunes, and will increase cot on all foreign dried fruits. Tbe effect is alrcadv felt in firmer views at sources ot sup ply. The first of the new rice crop is to the front within the week cast, and, though not in quantities to materially effect market, it can not be long until a check to tbe upward move ment will no doubt soon show itself, as the crop is reported unusually large this season. Quality, too, ot yield i extra line. Canned frnits have become somewhat unset tled, and the boom of the past month is no longer so pronounced. Prices will reguHte themselves when packers get their old con tracts filled. Country Prodnce. The volume of trade for the week past has shown some decline from the previous week, with prices generally lower. Creamery butter is off 1 cent per pound. Grapes are tbe prin cipal fruit now on the market, and quality and price are much more satisfactory than any time this season. Tho watermelon crop draw; near its end for the season. Supply and de mand are both light. In the early part of the week potatoes were quiet and lower, but in the past day or two receipts have not been so heavy and the lost ground has been recovered. A jobber who makes potatoes a specialty re ports that he bas not been able to secure a sufficient amount of choice stock for a day or two past, and that prospects are for a light run next week. Tbe unseasonable warm weather in the early part of the week was damaging to large quan tities of fruit that came 10 our markets. Ap ples were sold at nominal prices. Our best stock in thin line is coming from Missouri, and prices of good fruit are firm witb a tendency to a higher level. The -dullness in tbe hide market siuce tbe beginning of the month still continues. Tbo weakness is felt most in the light bide department, though all are dull. Boston tanners are holding off for still lower prices, notwithstanding the fact tbat tbere Is already a decline of lc per pound from tbe highest point on light hides. The only feature developed during tbe week in live stock tradebasbeen the sharp advance in hogs. In tbe past ten days corn-fed bogs have ad vanced about 50c per cwt., and in tbe same time bog products have been reduced in price. LTVE STOCK MARKETS.

MINNEAPOLIS There was a large propor tion of poor wheat on the market to-day, and, although tbe number of car lots offered from sample tables was large, many of them were too poor to meet tbe demand and they went slowly.

Money ia tbis market was rather stringent during the week, with an easier feeling at the close, but" at no time were regular customers discommoded or refused all the accommoda tions they required. The lines were tightened as a precaution against the unexpected, and not because of any particular scarcity of funds. Rates were steady all week at 67 per cent as tbe extremes. The Clearing House report was rosy as usual, showing an active trade movement. The week's exchanges were nearly 81,000,000 better than those of the previous week, and 83,600.000 in round numbers greater than for the corre sponding time last year. If croakers can draw consolation from these figures they are wel come to it.

There is a good supply of grapes and peaches. Grapes are coming in freely from New York Stateand are lower than they have been any time this season. Quality is improving as volume increases. Peaches are in good supply and demand. Offerings are mostly from the West. The crop in this section and East is a practical failure. Creamery butter is quiet and our outside quotations are, no doubt, shaded to the cash customer. Choice nearby eggs are scarce and firm. Cheese is fairly steady at old rates.

NEW YORK STOCKS, Market tVenk nnd Declining Be"ar Go Into Cover When the Secretnry of tbe Trensnry Arrives on the Scene Apprcheoslona on tlietrnet. New York, September 13. The stock mar ket to-day was again weak and declining, with further liquidation of small long accounts, but freer sbort selling. Tbe general expectation tbat there was to be a further increase in tho deficit shown by tbe banks from the require ments of the 25 per cent rule gave tbe bearish traders an opportunity to continue their bam mering operations, especially as London was found to tie a seller of its specialties at, tbe opening. First prices were generally but slightly changed from those of last evening, but the pressure was brought to bear first upon North American, which has since its appear ance on tho list been a drawing bear card, and it retired rapidly from 43 to 41, and afterward to AQi. Chicago Gas followed with a drop from 45 to 4214, &nd then the Grangers and Sugar Refineries yielded frourl per cent to 1. At about 11 o'clock it became known tbat the Secretary of tbe Treasury was in town, and would hold a conference with some of tbe lead ing bankers with a view to coming to some final solution of the problem of bow to relieve the monetary stringency, and the bears went into cover on the intelligencu, with the result of rallying Chicago Gasi and tbe rest of tbe list generally small fractions. The trading in the last half hour presented no new featuies, and tbo market finally closed quiet and barely steady, generally at small fractions better than tbe lowest prices of the day. Tbe final changes are almost invariably frac tional losses, ana North American is down 2 per cent, Chicago Gas 1 and Northern Pacific preferred IK- Tbe Post says: "As to tho causes of the weak ness in the stock market tbere is but tbe one most important explanation, viz.: tbat it is ap prehension of what may be rather than any realization of anything tbat is. Money would be tight anyhow, even if the new tariff were not to go into effect, because there has been an unusual demand for money all over the country for earlier moving of crops and for the prosecution of larger industrial enterprises than usual, and especially also for the specula tion in grain, which ever since the bad news about tlje crops, bas been absorbing specula tive capital especially in tbe West. But the immediate thing which in this situation bas the most effect to unsettle confidence and makes all the money lenders refuse to lend ex cept they have unusual inducements, is the apprehension tbat there is going to be a crisis in connection with the withdrawal of goods from United States bonded warehouses in order to escape tbe advance in the tariff. It does not make much difference tbat tbe amount which tbe importers would have to pay it they withdraw tbeirgoodsby November lis exag gerated. It probably is exaggerated, but by one means;oranother tbe people have got it fixed in their minds tbat unless longer time is given for goods to remain in bond there will be a crisis."
