While ‘‘night” in all languages is the symbol for gloom and suffering, it is often really cheerful, bright and impressive. I speak not of such nights as come down with no star pouring light from above or silvered wave tossing up light from beneath—murky, hurtling, portentous—but such as you often see when the pomp and magnificence of beaven turn out on night parade, and it seems as though the song which the morn- ing stars began so long ago were chiming yet among the constellations and the sons of God were shouting for joy. Such nights the sailor blesses from the forecastle, and the trapper on the vast prairie, and the belated traveler by the road- side, and the soldier from the tent, earthly hosts gazing upon heavenly, and shepherds guarding their flocks afield, while angel hands above them set the silver bells a-ring- ing, ‘“‘Gloryto God in the highest and on earth peace ; good will toward men.” What a solemn and glorious thing is night in the wilderness! Night among the moun- tains! Night on the ccean! Fragrant night among tropical groves! Flashing night amid arctic severities !| Calm night on Roman campagna! Awful night ameng the cor- dilleras! Glorious night ’mid sea after a tempest! Thank God for the night! The moon and the stars which rule it are light- houses on the coast toward which, I hope, we are all sailing, and blind mariners are we if with so many beaming, burning, flaming glories to guide us we cannot find our way into the harbor. My text may well suggest that as the natural evening if often luminous 80 it shall be light in the evening of our sor- rows—of old age—of the world’s history—ol the Christian life. ¢‘‘At eventime it shall be light.” This prophecy will be fulfilled in the even. ing of Christian sorrow. For a long time it is broad daylight. The sun rides high. In numerable activities go ahead with a thou. sand feet and work with a thousand arms, and the pickax struck a mine, and the bat. tery made a discovery, and the investment yielded its 20 per cent. and the book came te its twentieth edition, and the farm quad- rupled in value, and the sudden fortune hoisted to high position, and children were raised, and friends without number swarmed to the family hive, and prosperity sang in the music and stepped in the dance and glowed in the wine and ate at the banquet, and all the gods of music and ease and grati- fication gathered around this Jupiter hold- ing in his hands so many thunderbolts of power. But every sun must set, and the brightest day must have its twilight. Suddenly the sky was overcast. The fountain dried up. The song hushed. The wolf broke into the family fold and carried off the best lamb. A deep howl of woe came crashing down through the joyous symphonies. At one rough twang of the hand of disaster the harp strings all broke. Down went the strong business firm! Away went long established credit! Up flew a flock of calumnies! The new book would not sell. A patent could not be secured for the invention. Stocks sank like lead. The insurance company ex- ploded. ‘How much,” says the sheriff, ‘“will you bid for this piano?” ‘How much for this library?” ‘How much for this family picture?” Will the grace of God hold one up in such circumstances? What have become of the great multitude of .God’s children who have been pounded of the flail and crushed under the wheel and trampled under the hoof? Did they lie down in the dust weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth? When the rod of fatherly chastisempent struck them, did they strike back? Because they found one bitter cup on the table of God’s supply, did they upset the whole table? Did they kneel down at their empty money vault and say: ‘‘All my treasures are gone?” Did they stand by the grave of their dead saying: ‘There never will be a resurrection?” Did they bemoan their thwarted plans ana say, ‘The stocks are down—would God I were dead?’ Did the night of their disaster come vipon them moonless,starless, dark and howling, smothering and choking their lives out? No! No' No! At eventime it was light. The swift promises overtook them. The eternal constellations from the circuit about God's throne poured down an infinite luster. Under their shinicg the billows of trouble took on crests and plumes of gold and jaspar and amethyst and flame. All the trees of life rustled in the midsummer air of God’s love. The night blooming assurances of Christ’s sympathy filled all ‘the atmos- phere with heaven. The soul at every step seemed to start up from its feet bright winged joys warbling heavenward. “It is good that I have been afflicted,” cries David. ‘‘The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away.” exclaims Job, “Sorrow- ful, yet always rejoicing,” says St. Paul. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,” exclaims John in apocalyptic vision. At eventime it was light. Light from the cross! Right from the promises! Light from the throne! Streaming, joyous. outgushing, everlasting light ! The text shall also find fulfillment in the time of old age. It is a grand thing to be young —to have the sight clear and the hear- ing acute and the step elastic and all our pulses marching on to the drumming of a stout heart. Midlife and old age will be de- nied many of us, but youth—wo all know what that is. Those wrinkles were not al- ways on your brow. That snow was not ale ways on your nead. That brawny muscle did not always bunch your arm. You have not always worn spectacles. Grave and dig- nified as you now are, you once went coast- ing down the hillgide, or threw off your hat for the race, or sent the ball flying sky high. . But youth will not always last. ) only 16ng enough to give us exuberant spir- its, and broad shoulders for burden ¢arry- | ing, and an arm with which to battle our way through difficulties. Life's path if you fellow it long enough will come under frown- ing crag and across trembling causeway. Blessed old age if you let it come naturally. You cannot hide it. You may try to cover the wrinkles, but you cannot cover the wrinkles. Ifthe time has come for you to be old, be not ashamed to be old. The grandest things in all the universe are old. Old mountains, old rivers, old seas, old stars and an old eternity. Then do not be ashaméd to be old unless you are older than the mountains and older than the stars: How men and women will lie! They say they are 40, but they are 60. They say they are 20, but they are 30. They say they are 60, but they are 80. How some people will lie! Glorious old age if found in the way of righteousness! How beautiful the old age of Jacob, leaning on the top of his staff, of John Quincy Adams falling with the harness on, of Washington Irving sitting pen in hand amid the scenes himself had made classical, of John Angell James tothe last proclaiming the Gospel to the masses of Birmingham, of Theodore Frelinghuysen down to feebleness and emaciation devoting his illustrious faculties to the kingdom of God. At even- tide it was light! Bee that you do honor to the aged. A phuosopher stood at the corner of the street day after day saying to the passers by: “You will be an old man. You will be an old man.” ‘‘You will be anold woman. You will be an old woman.” People thought he wus crazy. I de not think that he was. Smooth the way for that mother's feet—they have not many more steps to take. Steady those tottering limbs—they will goon be at rest. Plow not up that face with any more wrinkles. Trouble and care have marked it full enough. Thrust no thorn into that old heart. It will soon cease to beat. ‘The eye that mocketh its father and refuseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.” The bright morning and hot noonday ot life have passed with many. It is 4 o'clock! It stays | i 8 o'clock! 6 o'clock! The shadows fall longer and thicker and faster. S8eveno’clock! 8 o'clock! The sun has dipped below the horizon. The warmth has gone out of the air. Nine o'clock! 10 o'clock! The heavy dues are falling. The activities of life’s day are all hushed. It is time to go to bed. Eleven o'clock! 12 o'clock! The patriarch sleeps the blessed sleep, the cool sleep, the long sleep. Heaven's messengers of light have kindled bonfires of vietory all over the heavens. At eventide it is light—light! My text shall also find fulfillment in the latter days of the church. Only a few mis- sionaries, a few churches, a few good men, compared with the institutions leprous and putrefied. It is early yet in the history of everything good. Civilization and Christianity are just getting out of the cradle. The light of wartyr stakes flashing all up and down the sky is but the flaming of the morning, bm when the evening of the world shall come, glory to God’s conquering truth, it shall be light. War's sword clanging back in the scabbord ; intemperance buried under 10,000 broken decanters ; the world's impurity turning its brow beavenward for the benediction, ‘‘Blessed are the pure in heart ;’ the last vestige of selfishness submerged in heaven descending charities ; all China worshiping Dr. Abeel’s Saviour ; all India believing in Henry Martyn’s Bible; aboriginal supersti- tion acknowledging David Brainerd’s piety ; human bondage delivered through Thomas Clarkson’s Christianity ; vagrancy comin, back from its pollution at the call of Elizabeth Fry's Redeemer; the mountams comin. down ; the valleys going up, “holiness” in- seri on horse’sbell and silkworm’s thread And brown thrasher'swing and shell's tinge and manufacturer's shuttle and chemist's laboratory and king's scepter and Nation's Magna Charta. Not a hospital, for there are 00 wounds ; not an asylum, for there are no orphans; not a prison, for there are no iriminals ; not an almshouse, for there are 80 paupers ; not a tear, for there are no sor- rows? The long dirge of earth’s lamentation has ended in the triumphal march of re- deemed empires, the forest harping it on vine strung branches, the water chanting it sng the gorges, the thunders drumming it among the bills, the ocean giving it forth with its organs, trade winds touching the keys and euroclydon’s foot on the pedal. I want to see John Howard whenthe last risoner isrefcrmed. I want tosee Florence ightingale when the last sabre wound has opped hurting. I want to see William fpr when the last Indian has been civil- jzed. I want to see John Huss when the last flame of persecution has been extinguished. I want to see John Bunyan after the last pilgrim has come tg the gate of the Celestial City. Above all, I want to see Jesus after | the lust saint has his throne and begun to ging hallelujah! You have watched the calmness and the glory of the evening hour. The laborers have come from the field. The heavens are glow= ing with an indescribable effulgence, as though the sun in departing had forgotten to shut the gate after it. All the beauty of cloud and leaf swims in the lake. For a star in the sky, a star in the water—heaven above and heaven beneath. Not a leaf rustling, or a bee humming, or a grasshopper chirping. Silence in the meadows, silence among the hills. Thus bright and beautiful shall bethe even- ing of the world. The heats of earthly con- flict are cooled. The glory of heaven fills all the scene with love and joy and peace. At eventime it is light—light ! Finally, my text shall find fulfillment at the end of the Christian's life. You know how short a winter's day is, and how little work you can do. Now, my friends, lifeis a short winter's day. The sun rises at 8 and sets at 4. The birth angel and death angel fly only a little way apart. Baptism and burial are near together. With one hand the mother rocks the cradle, and with the other she touches the grave. I went into the house of one of m parishioners on Thanksgiving day. The lit- tle ohild of the household was bright and glad, and with it I bounded up and down the hall. Christmas day came, and the light of that household had perished. We stood, with black book, reading over the grave, ‘‘Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” But I hurl away this darkness. I cannot bave you weep. Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory, at eventime it shall be light! I have seen many Christians die. I never saw any of them die in darkness. What if the billows of death do rise above our girdle,who does not love to bathe? What though other lights do go out in the blast, what do we want of them when all the gates of glory swing open before us, and from a myriad voices, a myriad harps, a myriad : thrones, a myriad palaces; there dash upon us, ‘Hosanna! Hosanna!” ‘“Throw back the shutters and let the sun come in.” said dying Scoville McCollum, one of my Sabbath-schdol boys. You can ses Paul putting on robes and wings of ascension as he exclaims: ‘‘I have fought the good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith.” Hugh McKail went to one side of the scaffold of martyrdom cried : ‘Farewell sun, moon and staral arewell all earthly delights I” Then wei# vo the other side of the scaffold and cried: ‘‘Welcome, God and Father! Welcome, sweet Jesus Christ, the Mediator of the covenant! Wel- come death! Welcome glory !” A minister of Christ in Philadelphia, dying, said in his last moments. “I move into the light!” They did not go down doubting and fearing and shivering, but their battlecry rang through @ll the caverns of the sepul- chre and wms echoed back from all the thrones aifyeaven : ‘‘O death! where is thy sting? © grave! where is thy victory?” Sing, my soul, of joys to come. I saw a beautiful being wandering up and down the earth. She touched the aged, and they became young. She touched the poor, and they became rich. I said, ‘““Who ig this beautiful being, wandering up and down the earth?” They told me that her name was Death. What a strange thrill of joy when the palsied Christian begins to use his arm again! When the blind Christian begirs to see again! When the deaf Christian begins to hear again’ When the poor pilgrim puts his feet on such pavement and joins in such company and has a free seat in such a great temple! Hungry men no more to hunger, thirsty men no more to thirst . weeping men ne more to weep ; dying men no more to die. Gather up all sweet words, all jubilant expressions, all rapturous exclamations. Bring them to me, and I will pour them upon this stupend- ous theme of the soul's disenthrallment! Oh, the joy of the spirit asit shall mount up toward the throne of God shouting: Free! Free! Your eye has gazed upon the garni- ture of earth and heaven, but tho eye hath pot seen it. Your eye has caught harmonies uncounted and indescribable—caught them trom harp's trill and bird’s carol and water- fall’s dash and ocean’s doxology, but the ear bath not heard it. How did those blessed ones get up into the light? What hammer knocked off their chains? What loom wove their robes of light? Who gave them wings? Ah, eternity is not long enough to tell it , seraphim have not capacity enough to realize it—the mar- vels of redeeming love! Let the palms wave, let the crowns glitter; let the anthems as- cend, let the trees of Lebanon clap their hands—they cannot tell the half of it. Archangel before the throne, thou failest Sing on, praise on, ye hosts of the glorified. And if with your scepters you cannot reach it and with your songs you. cannot express it, then let all the myriads of the saved unite in the exclamation. ‘Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! There will be a password at the gate of heaven. A great multitude come up and &nock at the gate. The gatekeeper says, “The password.” They say: ‘‘We have no password. We were great on earth, and now we come up to begreat in heaven.” A voice from within answers, “I never knew you. Another group come up to the gate of heaven and knock. The gatekeeper says, “The password.” They say: ‘‘We have no password. We did a great many noble things on earth. We endowed colleges and took care of the poor.” A voice from within says, ‘I never knew you.” Another group come up to the gate of heaven and knock. The gatekeoper says, TEE TT RITE IOS, ‘I'he password.® They answer, '‘We were wanderers from God and deserved to die, but we heard the voice of Jesus.” aye,” said the gatekeeper, ‘‘that is the pass- word! Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, and let these people come in.” They go in and surround the throne, jubilant for- ever. Ah! do you wonder that the last hours ot the Christian on earth are illuminated by thoughts of the coming glory? Light in the evening. The medicines may be bitter. The pain may be sharp. The parting may be eartranding. Yet light in the evening. As all the stars of night sink their anchors of pearl in lake and river and sea, so the waves of Jordan shall be illuminated with the down flashing of the glory to come. The dying souliooks up at the constellations. “‘The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear?” ‘The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away nll tears from their eyes.” Close the eyes of the departed one : earth would seem tame to its enchanted vision. Fold the hands ; life's work is ended. Veil the face: it has heen transficured. Mr. Toplady in his dying hour sald, **Lignl.”” Coming nearer the expiring moment, he ex- claimed, with illuminated countenance, “Light.” 1n the last instance of his breath- ing he lifted up his hands and cried: “iight! Light!” Thank God for light in wa evening. PROMINENT PEOPLE. JuLEs VERNE has written seventy-four novels. Ox an average, the letters received by the Emperor of Germany number 600 a day.

The only surprising thiug about ceduction of the time between Ncw i York and Chicago is that it has come so late. Twenty hours are ample for a little less than a thousand miles. The waste of time that has deferred until so late a day tbe arrangement »f this new table between the lakes tnd the seaboard has been at sta. tions where the switching of rolling stock, the transfer of baggage ang mails and the appointing of coaches have been done without that dis patch that has characterized the run- ning of the fast expresses. An aver. age of fifty miles an hour is fairly good, but it is not phenomenal. In fact, the American railway system has scarcely kept pace with the de. velopment of the ocean steamshig service. Passengers arrived in Chi tago Saturday who took ship at Queenstown the previous Sunday. All the difficulties of ocean travel taken into acount, this is more im. pressive than making 1,000 miles in lwenty hours without a mountain range to cross and with no engineer- ing problems of any perplexing nature. The railroads throughout the coun. try are likely to be stimulated to im- provement of their schedules by the new express trains between the lakes and the Atlantic. The Southern ser- vice, so far as it is controlled ir Southern centers, is in urgent need of speedinz. The Southern planter: ought to insist on better time for the valuable buv pzrishable freights they send to Northern markets. Southerr business men have everything to gair by bringing South and North more closely together. There has been considerable improvement during the past year in means of communicatior between Chicago and the Gulf; but the manipulation of neither passengel nor fast freight trains is yet whai intelligence, energy and alittle more outlay of money would easily make it. The next step for Northern and Eastern, as well as Western and Southern railway management, ought to be popularize the improved eervice by lowering the rates.

The laws and social customs of China make a woman’s life & most restricted pne in every way; and yet, in spite of ull disadvantages, in no country is fe- male influence more powerful. The women of China are the very backbone of the Nation, seeming to be born with v natural sense of honesty which is conspicuously absent among the men. While the mendacity of Chinamen ig proverbial, the women are, as a rule, truthful, and have great sirength oi character. They make good wives, struggling bravely to restrain their husbands from ramshu drinking, opium smoking and immoderate gambling, vices for some of which most of them have a propensity. They are dutiful daughters and devoted mothers. Tt is only surprising that there are not more good men to be found among their sons. A Chinaman’s most re- deeming quality, however, is the warm affection and respect he generally feels for his mother. Their filial obedience is indeed remarkable. A mandarin some forty years of age will calmly re- mark that he must go here, or that he cannot go there, because his mother has bidden or forbidden him to do so! And woman’s influence is not alone confined to the domestic circle. It is well known that Li-Hung-Chang, the great man of China, consults ‘‘Lady Li” on matters of importance, and to her credit let it be said that he is al- ways foremost in favor of progress and a more enlightened way of governing the country. The Empress Dowager is also a woman of great intelligence; indeed, when the disadvantazes of her education and mode of life are taken into consideration, it must be admitted that she is one of the most remarkable women of the age. That she is not, however, quite exempt from feminine vanity is shown by the fact that she was not long since admonished by the Board of Censors for dressing too vouthfully.-—New York Post.
