!5 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY, AUGUST 3. 1893. SHE WEST AKD CAME And Gleaned on Part of a Field Whicli Belonged Unto Boaz. IT WAS THE SEASON OF HARVEST Ect. Dr. Talniage Talks Ycrj Interest-inglj- in Colorado. EUTH AXD NAOMI GATHER THE BAKLEY IFrECHLTELrCHAM TO THE DISPATCH. Green Mountain Falls, Col., A113. 2. Dr. Talmagc preached here to-day to an immense audience HU Western tour has been one continued oration. Never belorc has he been s-o enthusiastically received or hare the people come to hear him in such rast numbers, lie arrived here from Pueblo, which city he left on Wednesday last, in a car provided by the railroad company ex clusively for the use of Dr. Talmngc and his pcorctary. In this car he will vUit cities in Colorado, Minnesota, 'Wisconsin, Kansas and Utah. It is side-tracked at places where Dr. Tnlninge has arranged to frtay to preach or lecture. His sermon, redolent with the breath of the great harvest fields of the Vest, indicates that the popular prercher has read in his surroundings sug gestions of Gospel lesfous. His text is taken from Knth ii:.1, "And she u cut and came and cleaned in the field after the reapers, and her hap was to licht on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Klimelech." Vithin a few weeks I have been in North Caroliua, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York. Ohio, Mirhigan, Canada, Indiana, Illinois, Kcntuckv, Missouri, and they are one creat harvest field, and no season can be more enchanting in any country than the beason of harvest. THEY AKRIVEAT HAKVEST. The time that Ruth ami Naomi arrive at Bethlehem is harvest time. It was the cus tom nhen a sheaf fell from a load in the harvest field for the reapers to refuse to gather it up: that was to be left for the poor who might happen to come that way. If there wire handfuls of grain scattered across the field alter the main harvest had been reaped, instead of raking it, as farmers do now, it was, bribe custom of the land, left in its place, so that the poor, coming along that way, might glean it and get their bread. But, you say, 'Vhat is the use of all these harvest fields to Knth and Naomi? Naomi is too old and feeble to go out and toil in the sun, and can you expect that Buth. the young and the beautiful, should tan her cheeks and blister her hands in the harvest field?" Boaz owns a large farm, and he goes out to see the rennet gather in the grain. Com ing jheie, right behind the swarthy, sun browned reapers, he beholds a beautiful woman gleaning a woman more fit to bend to a harp or sit upon a throne then to stoop among the sheaves. Ah, that was an eventful day! It was love at first sight. Boaz forms an attachment for the womanly gleaner an attachment full of undying intcrct to the Church ot God in all aces: while Bulh, nhh un epl.nh, or nearly a bushel of barley, goes home to Naomi, totcllherths successes and adventures of the day. That Buth,who lelt her native lai'd of Mcab in darkness, and journeyed through an undying affection for her mother-in-law, is in" the harvest field of Boaz, is atBanced to one of the best families in Judah, and becomes in after time the ancestress of Jesus Christy the Lord of glory! Our of so dark a nigh did there ever dawn so bright a morning? TROUBLE DEVELOPS CHARACTER. I learn, in the first place, from this sub ject now trouble develops character. It was berearement. porertyand exile that de rcloped, illustrated and" announced to all ages the sublimity of Bulb's character. That is a rcry unfortunate man who has no tronblc It was sorrow that made John Bunyan the better dreamer and Dr. Young the "better poet, and O'Connell the better orator and Bishop Hall the better preacher, and Kavcioek the better boldier, and Kitto the better encyclopedist and ltulh the bet ter daughter-m-law. I once asked an aged man'in regard to his pastor, who was a rery brilliant man: "Why is it that your pastor, so very brilliant, ferns to hare so little tenderness in his sermons?" "Veil," he replied, "the reason is, our pastor bar nerer had anr trouble. Vhen misfortune comes upon him, his style will be different." After awhile the Lord took, a child out of that pastor's house; and though the preacher was just as brilliant as he was before, oh, the warmth, the tender ness of his ditcoarscs! The fact is that trouble is a great educator. You see some times a munician sit down at an instrument, and his execution is cold and formal and unfeeling. Trie reason is that all his life he has been prospered. But let misfortune or bereavement come to that man, and he bits down at the instrument, and you dis cover the pathos in the first sweep of the keys. Misfortune and trials are great edu cators. THE CHEAT EDUCATOR A young doctor comes into a sickroom where there is a dying child. Perhaps he is very rough in his prescription, and very rough in his manner, and rough in the feel ing of the pulse, and rough in his answer to the mother's anxious question; but the rears roll on, and there has been one dead m his own house; and now he comes into the sickroom, and with tearful eye he looks ai the 'lying child, and he says: "Oh, how this reminds me of mv Charlie!" Trouble. the great educator. Sorrow I see its touch in the ;rajdost painting; I hear its tremor in the sweetest song; l"seel its power in the mightiest argument. Grecian mythology said that the fountain of Hippocrcne was "struck out by the foot of the winged horse. Pegasus. I hare otteu noticed in life that the brightest and most beautilul fountains of Christian comfort and spirit jal lite hare been struck out by the iron-shod hoof of disaster and calamity. I see Daniel's courage best by the llash of Nebuchadnezzar's lurnace. I see Paul's prowess beet when I find him ou the foun dering ship under the glare of the light ning in the breakers of Melita. God crowns his children amid the how ling of wild beasts end the chopping of blood-splashed guillo tine and the erackling fires of martyrdom. It took the persecutions of Marcus Aurelius to develop Polycarp and Justin Martrr. It took the pope's bull and the cardinal's curse, and the anathema to dcTelop Martin Luther. It took all the hostilities against the Scotch Covenanters and the j fury of Lord Claverhouse to develop James Ben wick, and Andrew Melville, and Hugh 31c Kail, ihe glorious martyrs of Scotch his tory. rll.GKISI FATHERS' PROWESS. It took the stormy sea, and the December blast, and the desolate New England coast, and the war-whoop of sarages, to show forth the prowess of the Pilgrim Fathers When amid the storms they sang, And the stars heard, and the sea; And the mounding aisles of the dim wood Hang to the anthem of tho free. It took all our past national distresses, and it tckes all our present national sorrows, to lift up our nation on that high career w here it will march along atttr the foreign despotisms that have mocked and the trrauuies that have jeered shall be swept down under the omnipotent wrath of God, who hates oppression and who. br tho strength of his own rijrht arm, will make all men tree. And so it is individuals, and in the family, and in the church, and in the world, that through darkness and Morm and trouble men, women, churches, nations are developed. Again, I are in my text the beauty of un faltering friendship. I suppose there were plenty of friends for Naomi while the was in prosperity; but of all her acquaintances, hew many were williug to trudge off with her toward Jiidtea, when the had to make that lonely journey? One the heroine of niy text. One absolutely one. 1 suppose when Naomi's hutband was living, ana thcr SliSlirialTHE SUMMER HEGERA suppose that after her husband died, and tier property weut, ana sue got old ana poor, she vita not troubled rery much with callers. All the birds that sang in the bow er while the sun shone had gone to their nests, now the night had fallen. HARDSHIP AKD DAKKNESS. Again. I learn from this subject that paths which open in hardship and darkness often con-e out in places of joy. Vhen Ruth started from Moab tow art! Jerusalem, to go along with her mother-in-law, I sup pose the people said: "Oh, what a foolish creature to go sway from her father's house, to go oil" with a poor old woman toward the land of Judical They won't live to get across the desert. They will be drowned in tiie ses, or the jackals of the wilderness will destroy them." It was a rery dark morn ing wltcu Ruth started oft with Naomi; but behold her in mv text Jti the harrcst field of Boaz, to be affianced to one of the lords of the land, and become one of the grand mothers of Jc-us Christ, the Lord of glory. And so it often is that n path which starts very darkly ends rerv brightly. nen you stanea oui ior Heaven, on, how dark was the hour of cenriction how Sinai thundered, and derils tormented and the darkness thickened 1 All the sins of your life pounced upon you, and it was the darkest hour you ever saw when you first found out your sins. After awhile you went into the harvest field of God's mercy; you began to glean in the fields of divine"prbm-i-e, and you had more sheaves than you could carry, as the voice of God addressed you, saying: "Blessed is the man whose transgressions arc forgiven and whose sins are covered." A very dark starting in con viction, a very bright ending in the pardon and the hope mid the triumph of the Gospel! HAltD FOR XOAH. It was rery hard for Noah to endure the scoffing of the people in his day, while he was trring to build the ark. and was everr morning quizzed about his old boat that would never he of anr practical use: but m hen the deluge came, and the tops of the mountains disappeared like the backs of sea monsters, and the elements, lashed tip in fury, clapped their hands over a drowned world, then Noah in the ark rejoiced in his own safety and the safety of his family, and looked out ou the wreck'of a ruined earth. Christ, hounded of persecutors, denied a pillow, worse maltreated than the thieves on either side of the cross, human hate smackin" its lips in satisfaction after it had been draining His last drop of blood, the sheeted dead bursting from the selpulchres at His crucifixion. Tell me. O Gethseniane and Golgotha! were there ever darker times than those? Like the booming of the midnight sea against the rock, the surges of Christ's anguish beat against the gates of eternity, to be echoed back by all the thrones of Heaven and all the dungeons of hell. But the day of re ward conies for Christ; all the rfomp and dominion of this world are to be hung on His throne, uncrowned headsarc to bow be fore Him on whose head are many crowns, and all the celestial worship is to" come up at His feet, like the humming of the forest, like the rushing of the waters, like the thundering of the seas, while all Heaven, rising on their thrones, beat time with their seeptres: "Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth! Hallelujah, the kingdoms of this world hare become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ!" CUSTOMS HAVE CHANGED. The customs of society, of course, hare changed, and without the hardships and ex posure to which Ruth was subjected, erery intelligent woman will find something to do. I know there is a sickly sentimentality on this subject. In some families there are persons of no practical service to the house hold or community; and though there are so many woes all around about them in the world, they spend their time languishing over a new pattern, or bursting into tears at midnight over the story of some lover who shot himself I They would not deign to look at Ruth carrying back the barley on her war home to her mother-inJaw. Naomi. All this fastidiousness iiihv seem to do rcry well while they arc under the shelter of their father's house; but when the sharp winter of misfortune comes, what of these butterflies? Persons under in dulgent parentage may get upon themsclres habits ot indolence; but when they come out into practical life their soul will recoil with disgust and chagrin. Ihcy will feel in their hearts what the poet so severely satirized when he said: Folks are so awkward, things so in) polite, They're elegantly pained from inorn till night. Through that gate of indolence how many men and women have marched, useless on earth, to a destrored cternitr! Spinola said to Sir Horace "tfcre: "Of what did your brother die?" "Of having nothing to do," was the answer. "Ah!" said Spinola, "that's enough to kill any general of us." Oh! can it be possible in this world, where thare is so much suffering to be alleriated, so much darkness to be enlightened, and so many burdens to be carried, that there is any person who cannot find anything to do? WORLD Or WORK DONE. Madame de Stacl did a world of work in her time; and one day, while she was seated amid instruments ol music, all of which she had mastered, and amid manuscript books which she had written, some one said to her: "How do you find time to attend to all these things?" "Oh,"shereplied,theseare not the thing3 I am proud of. My chief boast is in the fact that I hare 17 trades, by anyone of which I could make a livelihood u necessary. ahq ii in secular spheres there is so much to be done, in spiritual work how rast the field! How many dying all around about us without one word of comfort! Ve want more Abigails, more Hannahs, more Rebeccas, more Marys, more Deborahs consecrated body, mind, soul to the Lord who bought them. Once more I learn from mr subiect the valne of cleaning. Ruth going into the harvest-field might have said: "There is a straw, and there is a straw; but what is a straw? I can't get any barley for myself or my mother-in-law out of these separate straws." Not so said beautiful Ruth. She gathered two straws, and she put them to gether, and more straws, until she got enough to make a sheaf. Putting that down, she w ent and gathered more straws, until she had another sheaf, and another, nnd another, and another, and then she brought them all together, and she threshed them out, and she had an ephah of barley, nigh a bushel. Oh, that we might all be gleaners! Llihu Burritt learned many things while toiling in a blacksmith's shop. Aber crombie, the world-renowned philosopher, was a physician in Scotland, and he got his philosophy, or the chief part of it. while, as a physician, he was waiting for the door of the sick room to open. Yet how many there are in this day who say they are so busy they hare no time for mental or spiritual improvement; the great duties of life cross the field like strong reapers, and carry off all the hours, and there is only here and therea fragment left that is not worth gleaning. Ah, my iriends, you could go into the busiest week of your "life and find golden opportunities, which, gathered, might at last make a whole sheaf for the Lord's garner. It is the strar opportunities and the stray pririleges wliich, taken up and bound together mid beaten out, will at last fill you with much joy. Coffee Markets. Xew York, Aug.

The Hide, Harness and leather Situation Unchanged. A BOSTOX HEW OF THE SHOE TRADE Office of Pittsbtro Disr-ATCH, ) Saturday, Aug. L 5 The absenteeism of merchants and con sumers, who aro away on their summer vacation, lias had a depressing effect on tradn the past week. The effect of tho sum mer hegira to mountain and seashore is very marked at tho Grain Exchange and at produce commission houses. At the Ex change the attendance has hcen much re duced, and with tho speculative Influences that have intervened In Chicago grain mar kets buyers naro been extremely cautious and transactions light. With tho departure of consumors, comes the arrival of extra quantities of farm and garden products nnd markets In this line are m a somewhat demoralized condition. Tho fact Is becoming plainer every dav that tho earth haa yielded and will yield thfs season an extraordinary supply oflrnits nnd vegetables, a supply farbeyondtho capacity of the people to consume. Not a day has has passed in the week which has not b"en characterized by a decline In prices. This is a season for the consumer and producers will have plenty'to do, and little for their work. Hides and Calf Skins. The situation in this line is practically as It was a week ago. Latest advices from Chi cago indicate weakness, and buyers aro not so eager as they wero a few- days ago. Hero there is a feeling that prices are down to bed rook, and atom-quotations dealers are ready to take all that is offered.

Allegheny tanners report a free move ment of goods. The majority are sold ahead. Prices are unchanged, but with a continuance of the present nctie move ment an advance in rates can hardly fail to come in tho near fnture. The great crops of the country must bring strong demand for horse equipments. All signs pointto a good tall trade. Sole leather is not so actiro and prices are w cater.

The effect of the bankrupt sales of Boston shoe merchants is still felt injuriously. The situation is, however, not so bad as it was a week ago. The following from the Boston Herald gives the latest in the shoe and leather line at the great center of the trade: "About the best feature that can be noted in the boot aud shoe market is tho fact of rather more duplicate orders for goods, with some new orders for heavy goods. But. after all, these orders are not nearly up to where they should havo been by the last of Jnlv, and the only indication that the rather better orders show is that it is possible that tne worst ot tne recent Depression is over. Still, tho heavy bankrupt stocks of goods are not yet oufof the way, and these stocks aro having n peculiar effect upon the Job bers tn the "West and South, and aro pre venting them from buying coods direct from the manufacturers, as they now would hare been doing. The idea with the jobbers is that the bankrupt goods are to be sold low, and each ono hopes to get a share in the cheap goods. "It is true that there Is something of an In crease in thennmberof boot and shoebnycrs here in person, and that those buyers aro leaving some new orders and also duplica tions of former orders. But it is pretty well understood, also, that they are interested tn the goods belonging to tho bankrupt stocks, and that some of them would doubtless be heavy purchasers of the bankrupt goods wero they offered for sale. The condition of the West was never bettor lor a good trade in all sorts of goods, and boots and shoes at o not likely to be any exception. The South is also in fair condition, nnd there is suro to be a great manygoods wantedin the country during tne coming 12 months. It will only require a restoration of confidence in the stability of tho boot and shoe market to cause a moch bcttr trade nnd a much tinner maiket. Perhaps tho time for this sort of a market Is not yet, but it is coming some time. Tho Leather Market continues very quiet. It is possible there is a slightly better demand, in cases where manufacturers have orders for goods and must have the leather. There are also buy ers in the leather market who have been so fortunate as to havo obtained duplicate or ders on goods, and hence they want the leather. Everything points to the idea that manufacturers are running vcrj'closelr, and that the slightest coming in of orders, makes them buyers of leather. LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Only moderate Activity Prevails The Bank Statement Not so Favorable as Was Ex pected, but the Prices Aro Held Kail road Bonds Very DulL New York, Aug. 1. The stock market to day was only moderately active, but it dis played a decidedly strong tone on the whole and enjoyed a substantial rally, many stocks closing at the best prices of tho week. There were some buying orders for the active mar ket, though a disposition was 'shown to con tinue the covering of shorts. To this de mand the bears opnosed a fnrtber drive at the market, but it wa9 directed at Sugar, in. an proDamuty to masK tne coverings in me regular list. First prices were generally from lAla percent better than last evening's figures, but tho pressure brought to bear in the early trading knocked sugar on 2 per cent, and others fractional amounts. The pressure was withdrawn bofore the oxpiration of the first hour, when a disposition to discount a favorable bank statement appeared, and S rices shot up rapidly all along the line, nrllngton rose 2 per cent from its lowest flgnres, and the rest of the list followed closely. The bank statement proved to bo not so favorable as exnectcd. the surplus reserve showing a small decrease, while deposits were materially smaller than last week. The upward movement was cheeked at this Doint. but the best nriceg were well held. and no reaction was hud. There were a few marked movements among the inactive stocks, and Evansvllle and Terre Haute, after rising from 114i to 117, reacted to 114, while Cordage preferred rose from 97 to 100. and Tennessee Coal rose 1 per cent. The market closed dull but firm at about the top figures. The final changes show material advances In many cases, and Bur lington Is up 1: Western union, Vi, Atchi son, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Ciiicago and St. Louis, Chicago Gas and Louisville and Nash ville, each , nnd Northwestern, Cordage, Northern Pacific preferred and Tennessee Ccal, 1 per cont each. The transactions reached 68,171 listed and 11.1C0 unlisted shares, only St. Paul, with 11,050, reaching five figures. Railroad bonds were again very dnll, but while an Irregular temper was shown In general the active stocks were strong. The final changes, however, are In most cases de clines, and Lehigh and Wllkesbarre 8s lost 3 at 93, and St. Louis, Vandalla and Terre Hauto firsts, 2 at 107 Cleveland and Pittsburg 7s rose 2 to 120.

Demorest in 1S45 and the manufacture and sale of tho Demorest Sewing' 3Iachlnes CAPITAL STOCK - - - $1,000,000 DIVIDED INTO 40,000 SHARES OF $25 EACH, OF WHICH 20,000 SHARES ARE PREFERRED. All shares issued to be full -paid and non-assessable, and stock holders will have no personal liability whatever. The 30,000 shares of preferred stock is preferred both as to dividends and assets, and is entitled to a cumulative preferential dividend of 8 per cent, payable semi-annually on the 1st days of February and Au gust in each year before any dividend shall be paid npon the common slock. The remaining 20,000 shares are common stock, entitled to a nonccmulatlve dividend of 12 per cent per annum after the payment of the cumulative dividend upon the preferred stock. The surplus profits over and above these dividends will be divided EQUALLY between the preferred aud common stock. Dividends will be payable at the offices of the company or will be sent by mall to shareholders upon request. The t-o classes of stock will have the same voting power. All of the common stock will be taken by the present management and associates. The preferred stock only being offered for subscription at par, the right being reserved to accept subscriptions in part, should the applications exceed the ainonnt offered. The right Is also reserved to give preference to em ployes aud regular customers. The preferred stock offers a security al most identical with that of a first mortgage bond, with the additional privilege of sharing with the common stock la sarplus profits. The dividend of 8 per cent, is cumulative, and in case of non-payment it will remain until paid a charge against the earnings ol the Company prior to all claims of the common stock.

It Is now earning an annual net profit of over fflOV.COOpcr annum, and. It Is believed, that with the advantages obtained from this Incorporation, it will be able so to Increase Its business as nearly. If not quite, to double the amount of Its net profits. No greater proof or confidence in the profits of the business could bo shown by the pres ent owners than the fact that their interest will be represented entirely by common stock, which under no circumstances can receive a dividend until after the dividend upon tbe pre ferred stock has been paid.
