When a general is about to go out In the

and the train Ptafts amid a huzza :4Iut
drowns the thunder of the wheels and the
shrieK of the whistle. But all this will rive
no idea of the excitement that there mut
have been in heaven when Christ started out
on the campaign of the world's conquest If
they could have foreseen the siee that
would lie laid to flim, and the maltreMtment
He would sur, mid the burdens He would
have to rnrrv-. and the battles He would have
to flight, I think there would have leju a
million volunteers in heaven who woul
have insisted on coming alonir with Him.
But no ; they only accompanied him to thu
Kate;their liut shout heard clear down to
the earth ; the spneo between the two worl-ls
bridged with a Kfcat hosunua.
You know there is a wide difference be
tween a man's rroinir off to battle and co:nin
brflr again. When he goes off, it is witli
epaulets untangled, with banner unpeei:ed,
With horses sleek and shining from the
irrooin. AM that there is of siruggle and
pain is to come yet. So it was with Christ.
He had not yet fought a battle. He was
startingout, and though this world did not
give Him a warm hearted greeting there w;is
a gentle mother who folded Him in her anus.
And a babe finds no aifference between A
stable and a p:iluce, between courtiers anl

As J-sus stepped on the stage of this world
It was amid angelic shouts in the galleries

But at last the battle came. It was to be
more iicr.'e than iiozr.ih. more bloody than
iettysburg, involving more than Austerntz.
more combatants employed than at Chalons,
a ghastlier conflict than all the tattles of the
earth put together, though Edmund Burke's
es:imate of thirty-five millions of the stain be
accurate. The day was Friday. Tue hour
was between 1:2 and 3 o'clock. The field
w.-is a slight hillock nurlawest of Jerusalem.
The forces engaged were earth and hell.
Joined as allies on one side, and heaven,
represented by a solitary inhabitant on the
other.
The hour came. Oh. what a time it was!
I think that day trie universe looke 1 on. The
pints that could be spare 1 from the
heavenly temple and could got conveyance
of wing or chariot came down from above,
an 1 spirits getting furlough from beueath
came up ; and they listened, and they looked,
and '.h'y watched. Oh, what an uuevcu bat
tle! Two world's armed on one sii'e an
unarmed man on the other. Tne regmcut
of the Iloman army at that time stationed at
Jeru-slern began the attack. Tuey knt-w
how to fight, lor they belonjed to the moot
thoroughly drilled armyof the world. With
spears glittering in the sun they charged up
the bill. The horses prance and rear
amid the excitement of the populace the
heeisof the nd'rs plunge 1 inthe U inUs, urg
ing them on.
The weapons begin to tell on Christ. See
liow faint He looks! There the tdood
starts, and there, an 1 there, and there. If
He is to have r.'-enforrements, let Him call
them up now. No : He must do this work
alone. He is living. Feel for yourself of
the wrist; the pulso is feebler. Fnol under'
the arm : the warmth is less. He is dying.;
Aye, they pronounce Him dead. And Justj
at that n.oment that they pronounce Him,
dead llo rallied, and from His wounds He
unsheathed a w-apon which staggered the
Iloman legions down the hill and burled the
Satanic battalions into the pit. It was a
weapon of love infinite love, all conquer
ing love. Mightier than javelmorspcar.it
triumphed over all. l'ut back, ye armios of
earth and hell !
The tl do of battle turns. Jesus hath over
come. Let the people stand apart and make
line that He may pass down from Calvary
to Jerusalem, and thence on and out all
around the world. The buttle is fought.
The victory is achieved. The triumphal;
march is begun. Hark to the hoofs of the.'
warrior's steed and the tramping of a great
multitude, for He hns many friends now!
The hero of heaven and earth advances.
Cheer, cheer ! "Who is this that Cometh

We behold here n new revelation of a
Messed nnd a startling fact, l'eople talk of
Christ as though He were going to do some
thing grand tor us after awhile. He lias
done it. IVopletalkas though ten or twenty
years from now. in the closinr hours of our
life or In some terrible pass of life, Jesus will
help us. He has done the work already. He
dbl it lifll years ago. You might as woll talk
of Washii-.-ton as though he were going to
nchieve our national independence in laiO as
to speak of Christ as though He were going
to achieve our salvation in the future He
did it iu the year of our Lord 3.1 1S61
years ago on the field of Bozrah. the

All we have to do is to accept that fact in
our henrts, and we are free forthis world,
and we nre free for the world to come.
Hut, let we might not accept, Christ comes
throuch here to-day "traveling in the great

is going to fight for you some battle in the
future, 1 jt to tell von that the battle is
already fought and the victory already won.
You have notice. I that when soldiers come
home from the wars they carry on their flags

ropular Stones lor Jewelry.
Through all changes, when every
stone seems to have its day, tha dia
mond stands alone, incomparable. In
these days stones nre brought into
prominence to meet the demand for
variety, and such stones as the ame
thyst, the aquamarine, the chryso
bery, the golden carnelian and many
other stones known as semi-precious
are so wonderfully cut and set as to
greatly increase their intrinsic value.
These stones are Terr fashionabale
just at present, set in the form of col
lar arid girdle. The turquoise has been
more universally adopted in recent
years than any other stone. The great
est number, and soma of tha most
beautiful, have of late years been
found iu our own country. During
the last three years $100,000 worth of
American turquoises have been used.
And the opal that exquisite stone
with its fairy light dancing over its
delicate surface just now it is finding
its reward after many years of prej
udice. Indeed, so far has the old su
perstition regarding this stone been
i removed that it has become, when set
in diamonds, one of the chosen stones
for the engagement ring, and the wo -

No advertiser hns ever made a great

rearly contracts tho country press is by
;ar the cheapest advertising medium.
Whenever a buiiuess to be advanced
Dy advertising is or a kitiu whirh may
3e equally benefited by publicity at
iny season, then advertising contracts
should be made by the year. Es-
lecially is this true in all but the very
highest priced papers; and in many of
these the same is true. In papers of
average circulation and cost the price
for an advertisement a single week is
more than half the charge for a month;
for a month more than half as much as
for three, and for three months nearly
half as much as for a full year. Not
withstanding all this, beginners cannot '
is a rule make contracts for more than
a few weeks or months while they are
experimenting, consequently must
pay the higher cost for short-time or
ders. lie who would become a successful
advertiser must keep out of his mind
lvo ideas which are very prevalent;
First: he'must not think because a
patier has a very small circulation that
it is of no value as an advertising me

cause a jiaper has a very large circula

the shrinkage of the leg follows
from similar c.iu.-es. In old axe, too,

For others s unethintf more stirnna

such should lemeniber that there is a
limit beyond which excitement is not
a benefit, but a harm.
Excitements may be Injurious

'lhre are the morjlly ruinous excite

of the ancient pi a liaUiri.il shows.
When women, matie for tenderness

it is plain that m mil nature it

Competitive eames, especially inter

combine to carry the excitement to
the highest degree, are dangerous,
not only in the ttnal d.-ci-iivc stru-.v'!e,

The tendency f such excessive
exertions is t' enlargement of the

anything, but many of the most am

The modern form of foot-ball in
volves excitements of a very danger
ous kind; the players put into It the
utter recklessness of soldiers on the

md Surgical Journal s.ys:
"During the season in which the

the record of accidents more or less
erious is practically cunt :imo.is.

Th American Ax.
All the world admires and wonders
at the American ax helve. The
American ax fitted with that ingeni
ously curved and gracefully fashioned
handle is a niarvelously effective
weapon, vastly more apt for its pur
poses than the straljjht-handled
headsman's ax with which the Ital
ian fells trees, or the broad-faced
hatcnet used for the same purpose in
France. The American ax helve is
just what minht have lceu expected
of an inventive people laden with the
duty of conquering and civilizing a
forest-clad continent. The world iias
been using the ax since prehistoric
times, but it remained for the Ameri
can pioneer to fashion the ideal ax
handle, at once light, strong and elas
tic. The ax such as is familiar to all
Americans is rare in Europe, and it
sells in all the I rltlsh colonies as the
American ax "ew York Sun.
