DE. TALMAGES SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "Slgiiincaiice of the Flower*"— They Bear MeamKen of Clieer to the Heart-sirk and Dnimirlne—Their Ap. liropriatmeM at Obaequle*. TEXT: "If then God so clothe tbe grass which Is to-day in the Held, and to-mor row Is cast into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little lulth?"— Luke xii., 28. Th« lily is the queen of Bible flowers. The lose may have disputed har throne in modern times and won It, but the rose orig inally had only Ave petals. It was undet the long continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its pres ent bej.uty. In the Bible train, cassia and hyssop and frankincense and myrrh and spikenard and camphor and the rose fol low the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the Illy mentioned; only twice the rose, Tlie rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the time of Christ. Ca?snr had his throne on the hills. The lily had her throne in the valley. In tho great est sermon that was ever preached there wns only one flower, and that a Illy. Tho Bedford dreamer, John Bunyau, entered the house of the interpreter, and was shown a cluster of flowers and was told to "consider the lilies." We may study or reject other sciences at our option—it is so with astronomy. It is so with chemistry, it is so with juris prudence, it is so with physiology, it is so with geology—but the science of botany Christ commands us to study when Ho says, "Consider the lilies." Measurethem from root tip of petal. Inhale their breath. Notice the gracefulness of their poise. Hear the wtisper of the white lips of the Eastern and the red lips of tbe American lily. Belonging to this rcyal family of lilies ore the Illy of the Nile, the Japan lily, the Lady Washington of the Sierras,the Golden band lily, the Giant lily of Nepaul, the Turk's cap lily, the African lily from the Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have tbe royal blood In tlfeir veins. But I take the lilies of my text this morning as typical of all flowers, ond their voice of floral beauty seems to address us, suying, "Con sider the lilies, consider the azaleas, con sider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums, consider the ivies, consider the hyaclnthp, consider the heliotropes, consider the oleanders." With deferential and grateful and intelligent and worshipful souls con sider them. Not with insipid sentimental- Ism or with sophomorlc vaporing, but for grand and practical and everyday and, if need be, homely uses, consider them. The flowers are the angels of the grass. They all have voices. When the clouds speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds speak they scream, when the cataracts speak they roar, but when the flowers speak they always whisper. I stand hero to interpret their message. What have I you to say to us, O ye angels of tho grass? This morning I mean to discuss whßt flow ers are good for. That is my subject, »W|IF» ire flowers good for?" in the llrst place, they ore good ' God's providential cure, i remark " flr9t tbou R h t- All these | for lessons o. ° ss ussa si > in K. That was Christ's. . "arel and food." We flowers seem to addr. ,"'M° P. 0 ™ "God will give you ap, fiC.®i have no wheel with whi PT]i ) J .112, with which to weave, no ". r 'i t i 1 to harvest, no well sw> with the bread draw water, but God slack 1 ™ 8 the dew, and God feeds us ' " " e of the sunshine, and God has. with more thau Solomonic are prophetesses of adequate wardrobe. , "If God so clothed us. the grass of the field, I will He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Men and women of worldly anxieties, take this message home with you. How long has God taken care of you? Quarter of the journey of life? Half the i journey of life? Three-quarters the jour ney of life? Can vou not trust Him the rest of the wftv? God does not promise you unything like that which the lioman em peror had on his table at vast expense—soo nightingales' tongues—but Ho has promised to take care of you. He has promised you the necessities, not the luxuries—bread, not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes j the grass of the Held, will He not provide , for you, His living and immortal children? i He will. No wonder Mart n Luther always had a i flower on his writing desk for inspiration! Through tbe cracks of the prison floor a flower grew up to cheer Picciola. Mungo Park, the great traveler and explorer, had his lile saved by a (lower. Ho sunk down in the desert to die; but, seeing a flower near by, it suggested God's merciful care, and he got up with new courage and traveled onto safety. I snid tbe flowers are the angels of the grass. I add now they are evangels oi the sky. If you ask me the question. What are flowers good for? I respond, they are good for the bridal day. The bride must have them on her brow, and she must have them in ber hand. The marriage altar must be covered with them. A wed ding without flowers would be as inappro priate as a wedding without music. At such a time they are for congratulation and prophecies of good. So much of the pathway of life is covered up with thorns, we ought to cover the beginning with or ange blossoms. Flowers are appropriate on such oc casions, for in ninety-nine out of 100 cases it is the very best thing that could have happened. The world may criticise and pronounce it an inaptitude and may lift its eyebrows in surprise and think It might suggest something better, but the God who sees the twenty, forty, fifty years of wedded life before they have begun ar ranges for the best. So that flowers, in almost all cases, are appropriate for tho marriage day. Tbe divergences of disposi tion will become correspondences, reck lessness will become prudence, frivolity will be turned into practicality. There has been many an nged widowed soul who bad a carefully locked bu reau and in the burenu a box and in the box a folded puper and in the folded paper a half blown rose, slightly fragrant, discolored, carefully pressed. She put it there forty or flfty ;years ago. On the anniversary day of her wedding she will goto the bureau, she will lift the box. she will unfold tbe paper and toiler eyes will be exposed the half blown bud, and the memories of the past will rush upon her and, a tear will drop upon the flower and suddenly it Is transflgured, and there is a stir In the dust of the anther and It rounds out and It is full of life and it begins to tremble In the procession up tho church aisle, und the dead music of a half century ago comes throbbing through the air, and vanished faces reappear and right hands are joined and a manly voice prom ises, "I will, for better or for worse," and the wedding march thunders a SHIVO of joy at the departing crowd, but a sigh on that anniversary day scatters tbe scone. Under the deep fetched breath tbe altar, tbe flowers, the congratulating groups are scattered, and there is nothing left but a trembling band holding a faded rosebud, which is put into tbe paper and then into the box and the box carefully placed in tbe bureau, and with a sharp, sudden click ot the lock the scene is over. Ab, my friends, let not the prophecies of the flowers on your wedding day be false prophecies! Be blind to each other's faults. Make the moat of each other's ex cellences. Remember the vows, tbe ring on the third finger ot the left hund and the benediction of the calla lilies. If you ask me the question. What •re flowers good for? 1 answer, they are good to honor and comfort tho obsequies. The worst gash ever made into the side of our poor earth is the gash ot the grave. It is so deep, it is so cruel.it Is so incurable, that It needs something to cover it up. Flowers for the casket, flowers for the hearse, Bowers for the cemetery. What a contrast | between a grave in a country churchyard, with the fence broken down and the tombstone aslant and the neighboring cattle browsing amid the mullein stalks and the Canada thistles, and a June morn ing in Greenwood, the wave ot roseate bloom rolling to the top of the mounds and then breaking into foaming crests of white flowers all around the billows of dust. It is the difference between sleeping under rags and sleeping under an em broidered blanket. We want old Mortality with his chisel togo through all the grave yards In Christendom, and while he carries a chisel in one hand we want old Mortality to have some flower seed In the palm of the other hand. "Oh," you say, "the dead don't know; it makes no difference to them." I think you are mistaken. There are not so many steamers and trains coming to any living city, as ther9 are convoys coming from heaven to earth, and if there be instan taneous and constant communication be tween this wor.'d und the better world, do you not suppose your departed friends know what you do with their bodies? Why had God planted "goldenrod" and wild flowers la the fcrest and on the prai rie, where no human eye ever sees them. He planted them there for Invisible Intelli gences to look at and admire, and when in visible intelligences come to look at the wild flowers of the woods and the table lands, will they not make excursion and see the flowers which you have planted in affectionate remembrance of them? When I am dead, I would like to have a handful of violets—any one could pluck them out of the grass, or some one could lift from the edge of the .pond a WKter illy —nothing rarely expensive, no insane dis play, as sometimes at funeral rites, where tie display takes the bread from tbe chil dren's mouths and tho clothes from their backs, but something from the great de mocracy of flowers. Rather than imperil catafalque of Russian Czar, I ask some one whom I may have helped by gospel sermon or Christian deed to bring a sprig of ar butus or a handful of China asters. It was left for modern times to spell re spect for the departed and comfort for the living in letters of floral gospel. Pillow of flowers, menning rest for the pilgrim who has got to the end of his journey. An chor of flowers, suggesting the Christian hope which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast. Cross of flow ers, suggesting the tree on which our sins were slain. If I had my way, I would cov er up all the dreamless sleepers, whether in golden handled casket or pine box, whether a king's mausoleum or potter's Held, with radisnt or aromatic arbores cence. The Bible says,"ln the midst of the garden there was a sepulchre." I wish that every sepulchre might be in the midst of the garden. If you ask me the question, What are flowers good for? I answer, "For religious symbolism." Have you ever studied Scrip tural flora? Tbe Bible is an arbcretum.it is a divine conservatory, It Is a hei'carium of exquisite beauty. If you want to illus trate the brevity of the brightest human life, vou will quote from Job, "Man cometfc forth as a flowerand Is cutdown." Or you I will quote from the psalmist, "As the flower of the field, so he perishetli; the wind pas seth over It and it is gone." Or you will quote from Isaiah, "All flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof Is as the flower of the fleld." Or you will quote from Jaines j the apostle, "As tbe flower of the grass, so he passeth away." What graphic Bible symbolism I Flowers also afford mighty symbolism of Christ,who compared Himself to the ancient queen, the lily, and tbe modern queen, tho rose, when Ho said: "I am the rose of Sharon and tho lily of the valley." Redo lent like the one, humble like the other. Like both appropriate for the sad who want natbizers and for the rejoicing who banqueters. Hovering over the mar <tyni, -Biding bell, or want k. riuge ceremony like a folded like a eliaplet on tho pulseless neiiri of the dead. Ob, Christ, let the perfume of Thy name be wafted|ull around the eurth —lily and rose, Illy and rose—until the j wilderness crimson into a garden and tbe j round earth turn into one great bud ot im mortal beauty laid against the warm heart ; cf God! Snatch down from the world's banners eagle and Hon and put on lily and rose, Illy and rose. But, my friends,flowers have no grander use thot when on Easter morning wo cele brute the reunimntion of Christ from tbe 1 catacombs. Tbe flowers spell resurrection. Then is not a nook or .-orner in all the building but is touched with the incense. The women carried spices to the tomb of Christ, and they dropped spices nil around ; about the tomb, and Ironi these spices have grown all the flowers of Easter morn. The two white robed nugels that hurled the j stone away irom the door of tho tomb 1 burled it with such violence down the hill . that It crashed in the door of the world's sepulcher, and millions of dead shall come j forth. However Inbyrlnthine the mausoleum, however costly the sarcophagus, however nrohlteoturally grund the necropolis, how ever beautifully parterred the family : grounds, we want them all broken up by the Lord of the resurrection. The forms that we laid away with our broken hearts must rise nguin. Father und mother— they must come out. Husbands and wives —they must come out. Brothers and sisters i —they must come out. Our darling chll- | dren—they must come out. Tbe eyes that i With trembling lingers wo closed must open in the lustre of resurrection morn. [ The urms that we folded in deatli must join | ours in embrace of reunion. The beloved | voice that was hushed must be returned, i The beloved form must come up without j its infirmities, without its fatigues—it must ; come up. Ob, how long it seems for some l of you! Waiting—waiting for the resur rection! How longl How long! I make ! for your broken hearts to-day u cool, soft bandage of lilies. I comfort you this duy ! with the thought of resurrection. When Lord NeUon was burled in St. Paul's Cathedral in London,the heart of : all England was stirred. The procession passed on amid the sobbing of a nation. | There were thirty trumpeters stationed at j the door of the cathedral with instruments of muslo in hand waiting for the signal, 1 and when the illustrious dead arrived at the gates of St. Paul's Cathedral these thirty trumpeters gave one united blast, and then all was silent. Yet the trumpets did not wake the dead. He slept right on. But I have to tell you what thirty trumpet ers conld not do for one man one trum peter will do for all nations. The ages have rolled on and tbe clock of the world's destiny strikes 9, 10, 11, 12, and time shall be no longerl Behold the archangel hover ing! He takes the trumpet, points it this way, puts its lips to his lips, and then blows one long, loud, terriflc. thunderous, reverberating and resurrectionary blast! Look, look! They rise! The dead, the dead! Some coming forth from tbe fam ily vault, some from the city cemetery, some from the oountry graveyard. Here a spirit is joined to its body, and there an other spirit is joined to another body, and millions of departed spirits are assorting the bodies, ana then realothing themselves in forms radiant for ascension. The earth begins to burn, the bonflre ot a great victory. All ready now for the procession of reconstructed humanity! Upward and awayl Christ leads and all the Christian dead follow, battalion after battalion, nation after nation. Up, upl On, on! Forward, ye ranks of God Al mighty! Lift up your heads, ye everlast ing gates, and let the conquerors come in I Resurrection! Resurrection! • And so I twist all the festal flowers of theohapels and cathedrals of all Christen dom into one great chain, and with that shain I bind the Easter morning ot 1899 with the closing Easter of the world's his tory—resurrection 1 May the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Sheplierd of the sheep through the blood ot tlie covenant make you perfect in every good work to do His will!

The Saloon-Keeper's SOUK— An Appeal to Those Citizens Who Look With Easy Complacency Upon the Terrible Mis ery Produced by Intemperance. Stveusacall! We keep good boer, Wine, brandy and whisky here. Our doors are open to boys and men, And even women, now and then. We lighten their purse, we taint their breaths, We swell up the column of awful deaths.

We'll give you headaches and racking pains, tVe'll make you old when you yet are young, To lies and slander we'll train your tongue. We'll make you shirk from all useful work, Make theft and forgery seem fair play, And murder a pastime sure to pay, Give us a call! 3lve us a call! we are cunning and wise: We are bound to succeed, for we advertise In the family papers, the journals that claim lobe pure in morals and fair of fame. Husbands, brothers and sons will read Our kind invitations, and some will heed And give us a call; we pay for all The space in the papers we occupy. \nd there's little in life thut money won't buy It you would go down in the wcrld, an<? not up, tf you would be slain by the snake iu the cup, : Or lose your soul in the flowing bowl, If you covet shame and a blasted name, Give us a call!

Alexander the Great, made an lmperla. ! banquet at Babylon, and though he had been drinking the health of guests a" one | night, and all next day, the second night ho had twenty guests, and he drank th« health of each separately. Then culling I for the cup of Hercules, the giant, a mon ster cup, he filled aud drained it twice, tc show his endurance; but as he Mulshed tlie ; last draught from the cup of Hercules, the giant, he dropped iu a fit from which he | never recovered. Alexander who conquered BardU, and conquered Hallcarnassus and conquered Asia, and conquered the world, could nol conquer himself. And there is a threatening peril that this good land of ours, having conqi-erad all with whom it has ever gone into battle, maj yet be overthrown by the cup of the giant evil of the laud, that Hercules of Infamy strong drink. Do not let the staggering embruted host of drunkards go Into tht next century looking for insane asylums, and alms houses, and delirium tremens, and dishonored graves.—Rev. Dr. T. DeWit- Tatmage. No Respecter of Homes. Former United States Senator Merriman Of South Carolina, said; "I have nevei ; drank or meddled with liquor. I have sel dom used it In my family as a medicine, ! and yet it has meddled with me—it has made my boy a wandering vagabond, has broken my wife's heart. Yes, when I was asleep, thinking him at home in his bed, he was being made a drundard in the bar- j rooms in the city of Raleigh. What assur ance, my friend, have you that this may not | be repeated in your home? The saloon Is j no respecter *of homes. It Invades the homes of love, of wealth and of Christian people alike, and knows no sympathy for : tears, heartache and disappointed love. No the saloon will not—does not—let you alone." ————— • Drinking or a Sheep. A farmer employed a man. His new hand was addicted to drinking alcoholics. "John," said the farmer, "I'll give ye one o' my Dest sheep if ye'll give up drink j lng while ye work for me." "It's a bargain." A grown son of the farmer said: "Pa, I will you give me a sheep, too, if I'll not ! drink?" "Yes." The little boy said: "Pa, will you give me a sheep, too, if I'll not drink?" "Yes." The little boy- said: "Pa, hadn't you bet ter take a sheep?" "I'll try it." The old gentleman declared that he had made the best investment in sheep that season he had over made." Sfiots at the Hum Demon. Look before you leap, the ditch may be deep. A saloon keeper Is never so happy as when his spirits are steadily going down. Total abstinence is not a fad. With some It Is a necessity, with others u means tor seif-sanctlflcation. There are only sixteen breweries in Mexico, of which three are in the capital. The largest is in Monterey. The statement Is made that as many die annually In Englaud from drunkenuess as in India from war, famine and pestilence combined. Often drunk, never sober, falls like leaves In October. The discouragements Incident upon total abstinence work are more than made up for in the thought that there really is con tinual progress in the direction of temper ance. On every side wo see evidence of this fact. The home is the test school of temper ance, and blest are the children who And in their home life an atmosphere of tem perance, and who are accustomed from their earliest years to an attitude of hos tility to drink and its »v|i Aonßflmi«nn«a China Like a Graveyard. The wife of an American naval offi cer stationed at Tien-Tsin, China, writes thus to a friend in Baltimore: "The trip by train from the landing to Tien-Tsin takes about an hour and a half. The cars are not palatial, but they are comfortable. When you land hundreds of coolies besiege you for your baggage. You wonder how it ever reaches it ) destination in safety. The trip is souewhat interesting, but rather desolate to take alone. You pass through miles of graveyards. There are thousands of mounds with out a sign of green grass or green leaf. China seems to be one vast g.-avejard, for they bury their dead anywhere they wish. They bury in large coffins placed on the surface of the ground,cov ered over with mud and earth. This is blown and washed away, and then the coffins are exposed to view. A few miles from the railroad station on the river you come to trees and vegeta tion. It reminds you of some of the poor land that some of our railroads at home go through."—York Tribune. Up on the StatuteJ^ Cincinnati people love to tell this story on Geueral Benjamin F. Butler: He was one of a commission to ex amine young applicants for admission to the bar, and before him came a youth who failed miserably on all that pertained to jurisprudence, case law, civil law, sumptuary law, unwritten law and due process of law. Finally, Butler, who rather liked the chap and wanted to see him through, asked: "What would you like to l>e examined in? Yon have failed in everything we have suggested." The reply came: "Try me on the statutes; I'm up on them." Butler Bhook his head | solemnly. "My young friend," he ; said, "I'm afraid you won't do. You 1 may be ever so familiar with the statutes, but what is to prevent a fool Legislature from repealing all you know?"— New York Press. Educnte Your ItuwelH With Cuscaretfl.
