TEXT: "While I was musing, the flre iurned."—Psnlms xxxix.. 3. Here is David, the psalmist, with the forefinger of his right hnnd against his :emple and the door shut against the world, engaged in contemplation. And it would 30 we) l for us to take the same posture often, while we sit down in sweet solitude to contemplate. In a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia I once passed a Sabbath In delight ful solitude, for I had resolved thntl would have one day of entlro quiet before I en tered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying out plans for Christian work, but instend of that it be came a day of tender reminiscence. I re viewed my pastorate; I shook hands with an old departed friend, whom I shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I wns ten years of age, and I was eight, and I was live. There was but one house on the island, from Sabbath daybreak, ivlien the bird chant woke me, until the avening melted into the Bay of Fundy, from shore to shore there were ten thousand memories, and the groves were a-hum with voices that had long ago ceased. Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. Old age is apt too much to spend all Its time in looking backward. People in midlife and on the apex look both ways. It would bo well for us, I think, however, to spend more time In reminiscence. By the constitution of our nature we spend most of the time look ing forward. And the vast majority of peo ple live not so much in the present as in the future. I find that you mean to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantages that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But I see no harm in this if it does not make you discontented with tlie present or dis qualify you for existing duties. It is a use iul thing sometimes to look back, and toseo the dangers wo have escaped, and to see the sorrows we have suffered, and the trials and wnnderings of our earthly pilgrimage, and to sum up our enjoyments. I mean, so far as God may help me, to stir up your memory of the past, so that in the review you may bo encouraged und humbled and urged to pray. Among tho greatest advantages of your past life were an early home and its sur roundings. The bad men of the day, for the most part, dip their heated passions out of the boiling spring of an unhuppy home We are not surprised to find that Byron's heart was a concentration of sin when we hear his mother was abandonod nnd that she made sport of his inilrmity and often called him "tho lame brat." He who has vicious parents has to fight every inch of his way it he would maintain his integrity nnd at last reach the home of tho good in heaven. Perhaps your early home was in a city. It may have been when Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, was residential as now It is commercial, and Canal street, New York, was far up town. That old house-in the city may have been demolished or changed into stores, and it seemed like sacrilege to you—for there was more meaning in that small house than there is in a granite mansion or a turreted cathedral. Looking back, you see it as though it were yesterday—the sitting room, where tho loved one sat by the plain lamp light, the mother at the evening stand, the brothers and sisters perhaps long ago gathered into the skies, then plotting mischief on the floor or under the table; your father with firm voice com mandingasilencethat lasted half a minute. Perhaps you were brought up in the country. You stand now to-day in men cry under the old tree. You clubbed It for fruit that was not quite ripe, because you couldn't wait any longer. You hear the brook rumbling along over the pebbles. You step again into tho furrow where your father in his shirt sleeves shouted to the lazy oxen. You frighten the swallows from the rafters of the barn and take just one egg and silence your conscience by suying they will not miss it. You tuko a drink agnin out of the very bucket that the old well fetched up. You go for the cows at night and find them pushing their heads through the bars. Ofttimes in tho dusty and busy streets you wish you were home again on that cool grass, or in the rag carpeted hall of tho farmhouse,through which there came the breath of new mown hay or the blossom of buckwheat. You may have in your windows now beautiful plnnts and flowers brought from across the seas, but not one of them stirs in your soul so much charm nnd memory as the old ivy and tho yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden walk and the forget-me-nots playing hide and seek mid the long grass. The lather who used to come in sunburned from the fleld and sit down on the doorsill nnd wipe the sweat from his brow may have gono'to his everlasting rest. The mother who used to sit at the door a little bent over, cap and spectacles on her face mellowing with the vicissitudes of many years, may have put down her gray head on the pillow In the valley, but forget that home you nevel will. Have you thanked God for it? Have you rehearsed all these blessed remlnls-. cences? Oh, thank God for a Christian father! Thunk God for a Christian moth er! Thank God for an early Christian altar at which you were taught to kneel! Thank God for an early Christian home! I bring to mind another passage in tho history of yoar life. The day came when you set up your own household. The days pnssed along in quiet blessedness. You twain sat at the tatde morning and night and talked over your plans for the future. The most insignificant affair in your life became the subject of mutual consultation and advertisement. You were so hnppy you felt you never could be any happier. One day a dark cloud hovered over your dwelling, and it got darker nnd darker, but out of thnt cloud the shining messen ger of God descended to incarnate an im mortal sprit. Two little feet sturted on an eternal journey, and you wore to lead them, a gem to flash in heaven's coronet, and you to polish it; eternal l ages of light and darkness watching the starting out of a newly created creature. You rejoicod and you trembled at the responsibility that in your possession an immortal treasure was placed. You prayed and rejoiced and wept nnd wondered; you were earnest in supplication that you might lead it througli life into the kingdom of God. There was a tremor in your earnestuoss. There was a double interest about that home. There was an additional interest why you should stay there and be faithful, and when in a few months your house was filled with the music of the child's laughter you were struck through with the fact that you had a stupendous mission. Have you kept that vow? Have you neglected any of these duties? Is your home as much to you as It used to be? Have those anticipations been gratified? God help you in your solemn reminis cence, and let His mercy fall upon your soul if your kindness has been 1)1 requiredl God have mercy on the parent on th» wrinkles of whose face is written the storv of a child's sin! God have mercy on the mother who, in addition to her otlier pangs, has the pang of a child's iniquity! Ob, there are many, many sad sounds in this sad world, but the saddest sound that is ever heard is the breaking of a mother's heart! I flnd another point in your life history. You found one day you wore in the wrong road. You could not sleep at night. There was just one word that seemed to sob through your banking house, or through your office, or your shop, or your bedroom, nnd that word was "eternity." You said: "I'm not ready for it. Oh, God, have mercy!" The Lord heard. Peace came to your heart. In the breath of the hill and in the waterfalls dash you heard the voice of God's love. The clouds and the trees hulled you with gladness. You cnmo Into the house of God. You remember how your hand trembled as you took up theoup of the communion. You remember the old minister who consecrated it, and you re member the church oltlclnls who carried It through the aisle. You remember the old people who at the close of the service took your band in theirs in congratulating sym pathy. as much as to say, "Welcome home, you lost prodignl!" And, though those bauds be all withered away, that com munion Sabbath is resurrected to-day. But I must not spend any more of my time ingoing over the advantages of your life. I just put thom In one great sheaf, and I cull them up in your memory with one loud harvest song, such as the reapers sing. Praise the Lord, ye blood bought immortnls on earth! Praise the Lord, ya crowned spirits of heaven! But some of you have not always had a smooth life. Some of you are now In the shadTTw. Others had thoir troubles years ago; you are a mere wreck of what you once were. I must gather up the sorrows of your past life, but how shall I do it? You say that it is impossible, as you have had so many troubles and adversities. Then I will just take two—the first trouble and the last trouble. As when you are walking along the street, and there has been music in the distance,you unconscious ly And yourselves keeping step to the mu sic, so when yousturted life your very life wns a musical time beat. The air was full of joy and hilarity; with the bright, clear oar you made the boat skip. You wont on, and life grew brighter, until, af ter awhile, suddenly a voice from heaven said, "Haiti" and quick ns the sunshine you halted, you grew pale, you confronted your ilrst sorrow. You had no idea that the flush on your child's cheek was an un healthy flush. You said It cannot beany thing serious. Death in slippered feet walked around the cradle. You did not heitr the tread, but after awhilo the truth flushed on you. You walked the floor. Oh, if you could, with your strong, stout hand, huve wrenched that child from the destroyer! You went to your room and you said, "God, save my child! God, save my child!" The world seemed going out in darkness. You said, "I can't bear it, I can't bear it." You felt as If you could not put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to see thoin again sparkle. If you could have taken that little one in your arms, and with it leuped the grave, how gladly you would have done it! If you could let your property go, your houses go, bow gladly you would have let them depart Jif you could only have kept that one treasure! But one day there came up n chill blast that swept through the bedroom, and in stantly all the lights went out, and there was darkness—thick, murky, impenetrable, shuddering darkness. Hut God did not leave you there. Mercy spoke. As you took up the bitter cup to put it to your lips God said, "Let it pass,"' and forthwith, as by the hand of angels, another cup was put into your hands. It was the cup of God's consolation. And as you have some times lifted the head of a wounded soldier and poured wine into his lips, so God puts His left arm under your head and with Ilis right hand He pours into your lips the wine of His comfort and His consolation, and you looked at the empty cradle and looked at your broken heart, and you looked at the Lord's chastisement, and you said, "Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in Thy sight." Ah, it was your first trouble. How did you get over it? God confronted you. You have been a better man ever since. You havo been a better woman ever since. In the jar of the closing gate of the sepulcher vou heard the clanging of the opening gate of Heaven, and you felt an irresistible drawing heavenward. You havo been spiritually better ever since that night when the little one for the last tlmo put Its arms around your neck and said: "Good night, papa! Good night, mammal Meet me In Heaven!" Perhaps your last sorrow was a financial embarrassment. I congratulate some of you on your lucrative profession or occu pation, on ornate apparel, on a commodi ous residence—everything you put your hands on ssem?. to turn to gold. But there are others of you who are like the ship on which Paul sailed where two seas met, and you aro broken by tho violence of the waves. By an unadvised indorsement, or by a conjunction of unforeseen events, or by fire or storm, or a senseless panic, you havo been flung headlong and where you once dispensed great charities now you havo hard work to win your dally bread. Have you forgottou to thank God for your days of prosperity, and that through your trials some of you have made investments which will continue after the last bank of this world has exploded, and the sllvorand gold are molten in the fires of a burning world? Havo you, amid all your losses and discouragements, forgot that there was bread on your table this morning, and that there shall be a shelter for your head from tne storm, and there Is air for your lungs, and blood for your heart, nnd light for your eye, and a glad and glorious and triumphant religion for your soul? Perhaps your last trouble was a bereave ment. That heart which in childhood was your refuge, the parental heart, and wtlch has been a source of the quickest sympathy over since, has suddenly become silent for ever. And now sometimes, whenever in sudden annoyance and without deliberation you say, "I will go and tell mother," the thought flashes on you, "I havo no mother." Or the father, with voice less tender, but with heart as loving, watchful of all your ways, exultant over your success without saying much, although the old peo ple do talk it over by themsolves, his trem bling hand on that staff which you now koep as a family relic, his memory embalmed in grateful hearts—is taken away forever. Or there was your campanlon in life, sharer of your joys and sorrows, taken, leaving the heart an old ruin, where the 111 winds blow over a wide wilderness of desolation, the sands of desert driving across the place which once bloomed like tbo garden of God. And Abraham mourns for Sarah at the cave of Machpelah. As you were mov ing along your path in life, suddenly, right before you, was an open grave. People looked down, and they saw it was only a few feet deep and a few feet wide, bnt to you it was a cavern down which went all your hopes and all your expectations. But cheer up in the name oi the Lord Josue Christ, the Ccjmforter. There Is ono more point of absorbing romlniscence, andthat is tbo last hour of life, when we have ta look over all our past existence. What a moment that will bel I place Napoleon's dying reminis cence on St. Ilelena besides Mrs. Judson's dying reminiscence in the harbor of St. Helena, the same island, 20 years after. Napoleon's dying reminiscence was one oi delirium —"Tete d'armee"—"Head of the army." Mrs. Judson's dying reminlsoence, as she came home from her missionary toil and hor life of self sacrifice for God, dying in the cabin of the ship in the harbor of St. Helena, was,"l always did love the Lord Jesus Christ." And then the his torian says she fell into a sound sleep for an hour and woke amid tbo songs of angels. I place the dying reminis cence of Augustus Cresar agalnt the dying reminiscence of the apostle Paul. The dying reminiscence of Augustus Caesar was, addressing his attendants, •'Have I played my part well on tho stage of life?" and they answered in the afllrma tive, and he said, "Why, then, don't you applaud mo?" Tue dying remlnisconce oi Paul tho apostle was,"X have fought a good light, I have ilulshed my course, ] have kept the faith; henceforth there 1; laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, wil! give me in that day, and not to me only, but to all them that love His appearing." Augustus Coasardled amid pomp and great surroundings, Paul uttered bis dying rem iniscence looking up through the wall of o dungeon. God grant that our dying pillow may bo the closing of a useful life and th« , openiujr it a glorious eternity. A TEMPERANCE COLUMN, THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS.

D. E. VIL, General Manager. A. L. ConoL, Agent. There are at least 49 kinds of foolishness. To driuk a stimulant when not in noed of it, simply because asked to do so, is fio foolish that it borders on idiooy. There are as many as 87 kinds of foolish men. One kind mnkes himself known by "treating" because some other foolish man has done so, or because it Is a senseless "custom." The "treating" habit is responsible for moro drunkenness, "big-heads," business losses, poverty, crlmo nnd remorse than you perhaps think. Don't "treat" or be "treated" and you will trout yourself better and be treat ed with more consideration by others What do you think about it? A School For Uaby Drunkards. Some truly gruesome faots have come out in consequence of a recent Inquiry at Bonn into the subject of aloohollsm in ele mentary schools. Sixteen per cent, of the children refused to driuk "milk because It had no taste," but twenty-five per cent, drank beer and wine every day, while eight per cent, of these babies of seven and eight years of age were regularly once a day treated by their pareuts to a glass of brandy "to mnko them strong." Of 428 children of the samo age a j above, not a single one had never tasted beer or wine, and only twenty-flvo per cont. had nover tasted brandy. A few of the children were even accustomed to Cognac, nnd tho curious fact appeared that the number of girls who were given Cog nac or brandy with their luncheon was muoh larger than that of boys thus poi soned. And if these things be done at Bonn— which prides itself on being one of the most eulturod towns In Germany—what is to bo expected of less enlightened plaoes'/ The Emperor, when next ho is on the look out for a now field of aotlvity, might do worse than turn his attention to the ele montnry schools in the town of the Muses on the banks of the Rhine.

Three saloon keopers of Sullivan, 111., had damage suits aggregating $21,000 filed igalnst them in one day lately. Meat is worth one dollar a pound it Manila. This is probably due largely tc the fact that most of the Manila butcherf hirve recently gone into the saloon busi ness. Every intemperate man in a communit) is like a derelict at soa, a danger to all whe sail the same waters. No drink while on duty is an axiom not of morals, but o: sacaclous prudence. When Rival Babes Me*. Two rival mothers with rival babies •at opposite each other in a "blue car" (he other day, en rou';e for the great east aide. One infant was pretty and the other wasn't, and the beauty child got so much attention, so many chucks under ;he chin, and such quantities of fool '.sh talk flung at it that the mother of she neglected child grew pale with anger and envy. "I felt so sorry for her," said the friend who told me this, "that I paid her poor little one some slight atten tions, which so encouraged its mother that she became another being as it were and broke out as follows: " 'Shure beauty isn't everythin' in a child, ma'am. My Patsey ain't no picture child, but if lie grows up good an' honest an' hard workin' that's bet ter than good looks, which is the ruin of many.'" "Then she glanced over at the op position baby and added meaningly: " 'There's been a plenty of robbers and murderers that was good look in'.' " And my friend left the car in some baste to avoid the impending storm that was gathering in the eyes of the mother who sat on the opposite side of the car. —New York Herald. Concerning; Plaster Casts. "Plaster casts are now entirely re lied upon in sprains as far as the limbs are concerned," exclaimed a well-known surgeon to a Star re porter, "as well as in the treatment of fractures. And beyond the cast there is no further treatment neces sary. The cast should, however, not be put on until the inflammation in consequence of the injury has disap peared. To reduce the inflammation continuous application of hot water is found to be the most efficacious remedy. When once the inflammation has gone down an antiseptic bandage should be put on the injured part, and on this the plaster bandage and splints. This encases the hand, arm, foot or leg in a plaster boot, which keeps its place and keeps the injured part intact. The cast should be kept on as long as possible—at least a week under all circumstances, and in cases of a sprained foot, ankle or leg, for ten days or longer. In cases of injury caused by a sprain of the ankle or foot the plaster cast should under no circumstances be removed in less than a week, for the greatest care is required in their treatment, otherwise the injury becomes per manent."—Washington Star. Tlie American Volunteer. For three-quarter of an hour our little boat hurled incessant lead at hill aud wood, until we became con vinced that not even a grasshopper could escape under such a fire. Then slowly we drew down river, and each man threw himself upon his blanket and slept. As the night mists whit ened over the river and the sun glori ously rose blood red through the mists, the corporal by my side stood up, stretched his brawny arms, and facing the glowing east, exclaimed to my great surprise: "Wake!

An extraordinary case of madness, in which all the members of a family, consisting of father, mother and four children, were simultaneously afflicted bus occurred in Germany. A party of strolling gypsies, who undertook to tell the father's fortune by means of cards, declared that he would be killed while serving in the army, and this prediction so impressed him and his family that in the course of the same day they all developed signs of waver ing reason, and before long had to be put under restraint.
