rprrciAL telfuraji to the dispatch.
Brooklyn, March 20. In this sermon
Dr. Talmage traverses -wide realms of
thought to teach useful, every-day lesjons,
based on the text, Amos v., 8: "Seek him
that rnaketh the seven stars and Orion."
A country farmer 115X016 this text Amos
of Tekoa. Ho plowed the earth and threshed
tbe grain by a new threshing machine Just
invented, as formerly the cattle trod out the
grain. He was the son of a poor shepherd,
and stuttered: hut before the stammering;
rustic the Philistines, and Syrians, and
Phoenicians, and Moabites, and Ammonites,
and Edomites, and Israelites trembled.
Moses was a law-giver, Daniel was a prince,
Isaiah a courtier, and David a king; but
Amos, the author of my text, was a peasant,
and. as might be supposed, nearly all his
parallelisms aro pastoral, his prophecy full
ot the odor of new-mown hay, and the rattle
of locusts. He watched the herds by day,
and by night inhabited a booth made out of
bushes, so that through those branches he
could see the stars all night long, and was
more familiar with them than we who have
tight roofs to our houses, and hardly ever
see the btars except among the tall brick
chimneys of the great towns. But at sea
sons of the year when the herds were in
special danger, he would stay out in the
open field all through the darkness, his only
shelter the curtain of the nigh t heaven, with
the stellar embroideries and silvered tassels
or lunar light.
Why Amos Studied the Stars.
What a life of solitude, all alone with his
herds! Poor Amos! So Amos, like other
herdsmen, got the habit or studying the
map of the heavens, because it was so much
of the time spread out before him. He no
ticed some stars advancing and others re
ceding. He associated their dawn and set
ting with certain seasons cf the year. He
had a poetic nature, and ho read night by
night, and month by month, and year by
year, the poem of the constellations, di
vinely ihythuiic
Rut fno iottes of stars especially at
tracted hi attention while seated on the
ground or lj ing on his back under the open
scroll of the midnight heavens the Plei
ades or Seven Stars and Orion. The former
group this rustic prophet associated with
the s-pnng, as it ri-es about Mav 1. The lat
ter he associated with the winter, a"! it
comes to the meridian in January. The
Pleiades or Seven Stars, connected with all
sweetne:sandjoy; Orion, the herald of the
tempest. The ancients were the more apt
to studv the phyiognomvand j uxtaposltion
of t.e heavenly bodies, because they
thought they had a special influence upon
the earth; and perhaps they w ere right. If
the moon every lew hours lifts and lets
down the titles ot the Atlantic Ocean, and
the electric storm of the sun, by all scien
tific admission, affect the earth, why not the
st:n have propoi tionate effect?
And there arc some things which make
me think that it mav not have been all su
perstitlnn w inch connected the movements
and appearance of the heavenly bodies
with great moral events on earth.
Some Famous Stars of nistory.
Did not a meteor run on evangelistic er
rand on the first Christmas night, and desig
nate the rough cradle of our Lord? Did not
the stars in their courses fight against Sis
era? Was it merely coincidental that be
fore the destruction of Jerusalem the moon
was eclipsed for 12 consecutive nights? Did
it merely happen so that a new stnr ap
peared in constellation Cassiopeia, and then
disappeared just before King Charles IX, of
France, who was responsible for the St.
Eaitholomew massacre, died? Was it with
out significance that in the days of the Eo
man Emperor Justinian war and famine
were preceded by the dimness of the sun,
which for nearly a year gave no morelhrht
than the moon, although there were no
clouds to obscure it?
Astrology, after all, may .have been some
thing more than a brilliant heathenism. Xo
wonder that Amos of the text, having
heard thee two anthems of the stars, nut
down the stout, lough staff of the herdsman
:tud took into his brown hand, and cut and
knotted fingers, the pen of a prophet, and
advised the recreant people of his time to
return to God. Thlscommand, which Amos
gave TS5 vears B. C, is just as appropriate
:or u, IStt A. D.
In the first place, Amos saw, as we must
see. that the God mIio made the Pleiades
and Orion must be the God ofordcr. It was
not so much a star here and a star there
that impressed the inspired herdsman, but
seven in one group and seven in the other
group. He saw that night atter night and
M'ason after season and decade after decade
they had kept step of light, each one in its
own place, a sisterhood never clashing and
never contesting precedence.
Order a Sedative for Troubled Spirts.
What a sedative to you and me, to whom
communities and nations sometimes seem
going pell-mell, and the world ruled by some
fiend at haphazard, and in all directions
maladministration! The God who keeps
seven nm Ids in right circuit for C.O0O years
can certainly keep all the affairs of individ
uals and nations and continents in adjust
ment. If God can take care of the seven
worlds of the Pleiades and the four chief
voildsof Orion, he can pi obably take care
of the one woild we inhabit.
In your occupation, your mission, yonr
sphere, do the best you can, and then trust
to God; and if things are all mixed and dis
quieting, and your brain is hot and your
heart sick, get some one to go out with you
into the stailight and point out to you the
Pleiades, or. better than that, get into some
observatory, and througu the telescope see
further than Amos w ith the naked eye could
namely, 2U0 stars In the Pleiades, and that
in what is called the snord of Orion there is
a nebulit computed to be 2,200,000,000,000 times
larger than the sun. Oh, be at peace with
the God who made all that and controls all
that the wheel of the constellations turning
in the wheel of galaxies for thousands of
1 ears without the breaking of a cog or the
slipping of a baud or the snap of an axle.
Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the
God who made these two groups of the text
was the Godot light. Amos saw that God
was not satisfied with making one star, or
fa o or three stars, but he makes seven; and
having finished that group of worlds, makes
another group giotip after group.
God's Kemaikable Love of Light.
It seems that God likes light so well that
he keeps making it. Only one being in the
universe knows the statistics of solar, lunar,
stellar, mrteoric creations, and that is the
Creator himseir. And they have all been
lovingly christened, each one a namo as dis
tinct as the names of your children. "He
tcllctli tho number of the stars; he calleth
them all by their names."
But think of the billions and trillions of
daughters of starry lfcrht that God calls by
name as they sweep by him with beamin"
brow and lustrous robe! So fond is God of
light natural light, moral light, spiritual
light. Azain and again is fight harnessed
lor symbolization Christ, the blight and
morning star, evangelization, the daybreak
the redemption of nations, sun of righteous
ness rising with healing in His wings. Oh,
men and women, with so many sorrows and
sins and perplexities, if you want light of
comfort, light of nardon, light of goodness,
in earnest prayer thiougli Christ, '-Seek Him
that maketh the Seven stars and Orion."
Again, Amos saw, as we must sec, that the
God w ho made these two archinelagoes of
stars must bo an unchanging God, There
had been no change in the stellar appear
ance in this herdsman's life time, and his
father, a shepherd, reported to him that
there had been no change in his lite time.
Ane these two clusters hang over the celes
tial aibornow Just as they were the first
night that they shone on the Kdcnic bowers
the same as when the- Egyptians built the
Pyramids from the top of wuich to watch
thera, the same as when the Chaldeans cal
culated the eclipses.
Proof of the Ilenevolence of God,
Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the
God who made these two beacons of the
Oriental night sky must be a God of love
and kindly warning. The Pleiades rising in
laid ok' said to all the herdsmen and shep
herds and husbandmen: "Come out and
enjoy the mild weather, and cultivato your
gardens and fields." Orion, coming in
winter, warned them to prepare for tempest
All navigation was regulated by these two
constellations.
OU, now I get the best view of God 1 ever
had: There are two kinds of sermons I never
want to preach the one that presents God
so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so imbecile
that men may do whattbey will against him,
and fracture his every law, and put the pry
iViiiiiiii iiiiiinrHr ijjiMii
An
of their impertinence and rebellion under
his throne, and while thev are spitting in his
face and stabbing at his heart, he takes them
up in his arms and kisses their infuriated
brow and cheek, saying: "Of such is the
kingdom of heaven."
The other Kind of sermon I never want to
preach is the one that represents God as all
fire and torture and thunder-cloud, and with
red-hot pitchfoik tossing the human race
into paroxysms of infinite agony. The
sermon that I am now preaching believes in
a God of loving, kindly warning, the God of
spring nnd winter, the God of the Pleiadej
and Orion.
Tou must remember that the winteris jnst
as important as the spring. Let one winter
pass without frost to kill vegetation and ice
to bind the rivers and snow to enrich our
fields, and then you will have to enlarge
your hospitals and your cemeteries. "A
green Christmas makes a fat graveyard."
We .Need Winter in Earthly Aflalrs.
I tell you we need the storms of life as
much as we do the sunshine. Thero are
more men ruined by prosperity than by ad
versity. If we had our own way in life, be
fore this we would have been impersona
tions ot selfishness and worldliness and dis
gusting sin, and puffed up until we would
have been like Julius Caesar, who was made
by sycophants to believe that he was divine,
and the freckles on his face were as the stars
of the firmament.
One of tho swiftest transatlantic voyages
made last summer bv our swiftest steamer
was liccausc she had a stormy wind abaft,
chasing her from New York to Liverpool.
But to those going In the opposite direction
the storm wasa buffeting and a hindrance.
It is a bad thing to haveastormahead, push
ing us back: but if we be God's children and
aiming toward heaven, tho storms of life
will only chase us the sooner into the har
bor. I siin so glad to believe that tho mon
soons, and typhoons, and mistrals and siroc
cos of the laud and sea are not unchained
maniacs let loose upon the earth, but are un
der divine supervision! I am so glad that
the God of the Seven Stars is also the God of
Orion.
Oh, what a mercy It is that the text and all
up and down the Bible God induces us to
look out towmrd other words! Bible astron
omy in Genesis, in Joshua, in Job, in the
Psalms, in the prophets, major and minor,
in St. John's Apocalypse, practically saying,
"Worlds! worlds! worlds! Get readv for
them!"
Our Love of the Present World.
We have a nice little world here that we
stick to, as though losing that we lose all.
We are afraid of falling off this little raft of
a world. We are afraid that some meteor
ic iconoclast will some night smash it, and
we want everything to revolve around it,
and aie disappointed when wo find that it
revolves around the sun instead of the sun
revolving around it. What a fuss w e make
about this little bit of a world, its existence
only a short time between two spasms, the
paroxysm by which it was hurled from
chaos into order, and the paroxysm of its
uenioniion.
And I am glad that so many texts call us
to look off to other worlds, many of tbem
larger and grander and more resplendent.
Don't let us be so agitated about our own go
ing off this little barge or sloop or canal boat
of a w orld to get on some "Great Eastern" of
the heavens. Don't let us persist In want
ing to stay in this barn, this shed, this out
house of a world, when all the King's pal
aces already occupied by many of our best
friends are swinging wide open their gates
to let us in.
When I read, "In my Father's house are
many mansions"' I do not know but that
each world is a room, and as many looms as
there are worlds, stellar stars, stellar galler
ies stellar hallways, stellar windows, stellar
domes. How out-departed friends must pity
us shut up in these cramped apartments,
tiredifwe walkl5 miles, when they some
morning, by one stroke of wing, can make
circuit of the whole stellar system and be
back in time ror matins!
It Broadens Our finite Vision.
Oh, how this widens and lifts and stimu
lates our expectation! How little it makes
the present ana how stupendous it makes
the future! How it consoles us about our
pious dead, who instead of being boxed up
and under the ground have the range of as
many rooms as there are worlds, and wel
come everywhere, for it is the Father's
house, in w liioh there are many mansions!
Oh, Lord God of the Seren Stars and Orion,
how can I endure the transport, the ectasy,
of such a vision! I must obey my text and
seek Him! I will seek him. I seek'Him now;
for I call to mind that it is not the material
universe that is most valuable, but the
spiritual, and that each of ns has a soul
worth more than all the worlds which the
inspired herdsman saw from his booth on
the hills of Tekoa.

Affected Produce Trade.

A BOSTON 0PJXI0N ON FOOTWEAR
Office or the Dispatch. )
Pittsbcbo, Saturday, March 19, 1892. i
The March blizzard which has been get
ting in its work for the past few days has
had an unfavorable effect on trade in most
lines. Produce commission merchants report
a very quiet week. Not for many years have
vegetables been as low and dull at this
season of the year. Elgin creamery butter
is off lc per pound, as compared with last
week's prices, but supply is so light in this
market that retailers are enabled to hold
tbeir stock at last week's prices.
In the fore part of the week eggs were a
drug, but in the past day or two demand has
caught up to supply, and markets have
gained in firmness. The improvement is no
doubt due to the cold wave, and a day or
two of soft weather will bring prices dpwn.
Prices of eggs here have Dcen of late as
high as in New York and 3c per dozen above
Cincinnati prices. At the beginning of the
week new maple syrup was flowing so
freely in this direction that prices were
lower than they have been for many years.
A sale was reported ns low as 70c per gallon.
The cold wave has checked the flow of sap,
and receipts have very mnch declined the
past few days. As a resnlt markets have
gained somewhat in strength and are steady
at prices quoted.
Cereals and Provisions.
Receipts of grain and hay were somewhat
heavier this week than last and the situa
tion in the main has been favorable to buy
ers, though thero has been little change in
the price list. Ear corn is firmer, and hay
is higher than It was a week ago. Wheat
and oats are barely steady. The latter can
hardly yield any profit to the dealer at pres
ent prices at sources of sunDlv.
It will be seen by reference to home mar
ket column that provisions are the same in
price as a week ago. According to reports
from live stock centers the receipts of hois
for March havVbeen 600,000 head less than for
the same period last year. Notwithstanding
reduced receipts theie is such a conservative
feeling amonc dealers that it is impossible
thus far to advance pricesof products, whioh
are relatively much lower than hogs. It is
only a question of short time when pro
visions must ascend to a higher level.
Bides and Calfskins.
Heavy steer hides are a shade lower than
they were a week ago, and slow at the de
cline. Buffs are fairly steady, and calf and
sheep skins are firm, notwithstanding that
receipts are steadily on the increase. Fol
lowing are prices paid by dealers and tan
ners for stock delivered here:
No. 1 green salted steers, 60 lbs and over. 7
o. 1 green salted cows, all weights 43-f

Reduction for No. 2 stock. 1 cents per lb

2 cents on calfskins.
In Footwear Lines.
The Boston Herald has this to say of the
situation and outlook of the boot and shoe
market:
"There is a good trade in the boot and
shoe market, but it is still more in the way
ot special lines and special features than in
the regular, old styles of goods. Tho number
of buyers that have been here in person of
late is beginning to thin out, it is true, but
these buyers have left a good volume of
orders, especially for the special goods men
tioned above. These goods are generally
protected through a trade mark, and also
through a trade mark on the special leather
of which they are made, so that the buyer
of them feels that he has something that is
reliable, and something that the manufact
uier will stand behind. It is a fact that buy
ers nre dropping off this season, more than
ever before, goods that they are not entirely
certain about, and giving "bigger orders for
goods that are ceitain. For this reason some
lines ot goods have been badly neglected
this spring, and goods of which better things
were expected.
"But the volume of trade, as a whole, is
proving quite satisfactory, as compared with
the outlook a few weeks ago. Prominent
manufacturing concerns, and some of the
concerns controlling lines of special goods,
have been very busy of late. The trade was
here and had begun to take orders, and the
question with some of the sellers of goods
has been as to how to serve so many cus
tomers all at once. But a part of this rush
is over, and generally it is over to the ad
vantage of the best concerns."
SATURDAY'S PRODUCE MARKETS
CHICAGO After an early break to S4c,
May wheat rallied and closed at 85JJc or a
higher than it did Friday. Corn was
weak early and firm toward the close, but
left off at a shade under Friday's resting
price. Hog products continued to wallow in
the mud into which they tumbled yesterday,
but closed at some recovery from the lowest
prices of the day.

WALL STREET'S CLOSE.
The Coalers, Both North and South, Qnite
Active Sugar Another Marked Spot
Beading Hammered Down Host Prices
Kemaln Unchanged.
New York, March 19. Had It not been for
the Coal stocks, Sugar and Tennessee Coal
to-day, the stock market would have been
utterly devoid of feature and movement.
At the opening all trace of yesterday's
weakness had disappeared, and opening
prices were practically unchanged from
those of last night throughout the list.
There was some disposition on the part of
the traders to hammer Reading, and its
price did recede slightly under this pres
sure, while Tennessee Coal displayed
positive weakness, retiring 1 per cent,
and during the early dealings was the one
stock which showed a mateiial fluctuation.
Later, however, the ramor was circulated
that two or three directors were to go into
the board of the Delaware and Hudson rep
resenting the Vandcibilts and Erie, and,
coupled with some good buying, the rumor
had the effect of creating a little bear scare,
and the shorts in the coal stocks ran to
cover.
Delaware and Hudson was rapidly run up
from 137K to 14' Jersey Central following
with a lise lrom 139 to 14 while the
movements in Reading aim Lackawanna
were more deliberate. The movement, how
ever, had the effect of infusing a little life
and character into the genoral list, and
slight appreciation was made in prices,
especially after the issue or tbe bank state
ment, which showed an unexpected small
Increase in the reserves. No other feature
was seen, however, and the market finally
closed dull but firm, but practially at last
night's prices, except iu a few shares, Dela
ware nnd Hudson being up 2 and Jersey
Central 1.

Office of The Dispatch, )
Pittsduro, Saturday. March 19. s
Cocxtry PnoDCCE Jobbing rricea The
egg market is a shade stronger, under the
influence of cold weather. Thero were sales
on Friday as low as lie per dozen. There
were no sales on Saturday below 14Jc per
dozen. The supply of creamery butter in
this market is very limited, and though
prices are off since the beginning of the
week, it is next to impossible tomeet orders.
Receipts of maple syrup have not been so
heavy this week as last, but markets are still
quiet. Tropical fruits are very firm at prices
'quoted and all signs point to higher prices.
The rough, cold weather of the past few
days has proved an unfavorable factor in
the general produce trade. Vegetables and
apples are dull and slow at quotations.
Poultry is sea ice and Arm.

Provisions.
At the Saturday meeting of the Pittsburg
packers, last week's prices of hog products
were reaffirmed and will therefore hold good
for another week. Receipts of hogs at all
live stock centers hnvo been light of late as
compared with a year ago. Packers look for
better prices at an early day, as bogs are
now relatively higher than products.

HOME SECURITIES AND CASH,
Features of the Week on tbe Local Slock
Exchange.
While the stock market was Interesting
during the week, It was neither so active
nor so strong as when the bulge was in its
prime. It was strong and weak by turns,
fluctuating- as the bulging element was
urgent or apathetic. Offerings were not
urgent, which imparted ono element of
strength which tho bears could not entirely
counteract. This was -especially marked in
the street railway group. All of the impor
tant price changes were gains, except in the
case of switch and signal. It was feebly
supported and sustained a serious reverse.
Closing prices of Saturday, as eompared
with those of a week ngo have these
changes: Cbartlers gas rose $1, Central Trac
tion H, Pleasant Valley ii. Luster , Elec
tric 1, underground cahloS3. Philadelphia
gas lost , Citizens' Traction K, switch and
signal 2, airbrake . Bank shares were
strong, and in a few instances higher. Con
siderable Exchange stock was picked up at
$500. There was a good market for
bonds. Tnree dividends were an
nounced, those or the Chartiers Gas,
PIpeage and Airbrake Companies, which
should act as a breakwater to tbe bearish
tide. Pipeage was stronger in the afternoon
on the announcement of the dividend.
Sales Saturday were 342 shares, $11,000
bonds and $-T0 Electric scrip, in detail as
follows: $11,000 Birmingham bonds at 101
50 Duqnesne Traction at 25, 80 "at 252a. $350
Elcctrio scrip at 80, 2 Philadelphia Gns at
1 10 at 18, 10 Underground Cable at 74, 50
Pleasant Valley at 25, 50 Pipeage at HJf. 60
Switch and Signal at 16, 30 Electric at 17.
Sales for the week were 5.1CC shares and
$73,000 bonds. Birmingham led with 1,316
share?, followed by Duquesne with 706.
Closing quotations on the unlisted trac
tions: Birmingham, 27 bid, offered at 2S;
Duqnesne, 25J bid, offered at 23- Manches
ter was passed. The finish, although.not the
best, was generally at fractional recoveries
from the lowest level of the week.
Borrowers made but little impression
upon the piled up wealth in city banks the
past week. A few banks reported a slightly
louder call, but not enough to count for
much, and the general resnlt was unsatis
factory. The nominal rate was 6 per cent.
Some shading was leported. The Clearing
