Th e subject of Dr. Talinago's discourse was, \All troubles past,\ and the text Revelation iv, IS. \There was a rainbow round about the throne.\ Fol- lowing is the sermon: As, after a night of fearful tempest at sea, one ship, more stanch than another, rides on undamaged ..among the frag- ments of spars and hafts that float about, BO old Noah's ark, a t the close of the deluge, floats on over the wreck of a dead world. ' Looking out of the window of the ark, you see the planks of houses, and the sheaves of wheat, and the car- casses of cattle and the corpses of men. No tower is left to toll the burial; no mourners to form the line, of procession; no ground in which to bury the dead. Sinking a line twenty-seven feet, long, you just, touch the tops of the mountains. GhastMness and horror! The ark. instead of walking the sea. like a modern ship, in majesty and beauty, losses helplessly; no helm to guide; no sail to get; ho shore to staer for. Why protract the agony of the good people in such a craft, when they might in one dash of the wave have been put out of their misery? HIS HOW IN THE fl.OUD.

Si. .lohn announces the twelve founda- tions of this wall to be, the first of jasper —yellow and red; the second, of sapphire —a deep blue; the third, a chalcedony— a varied .beauty; th e fourth, emerald—a bright green color; the fifth, sardonyx— n bluish white: the sixth, sardius—red and tiery: the seventh, chrysolite—golden huocl; the eighth, beryl—a bluish green; the ninth, topaz—a pale green mixed with yellow: the tenth, ohrysoprasus—a golden bluish tint; the eleventh, jacinth—fiery as the,sunset: the twelfth, amethyst. Bu t these precious stones are only the founda- tion of the wall of heaven—the most Infe- rior part of it. On the. top of this foun- dation there rises a mighty wall of jasper —of brilliant yellow and gorgeous crim- son. Stupendouscataractof color! Throne of splendor and sublimity! You see that the beautiful colors which are the robes of glory to our earth are to be forever preserved i n this wall of heaven. Our skies of blue, which some- times seem almost to drop with richness o. color, shall be glorified and eternized in the deep, everlasting blue of that Itery stone which forms the second foundation of the l.eaveiilv wall.

FLOOD OF SORHOW AND SUFFEIUNQ. Now-the earth is covered with the de- luge of sorrow. Trouble! trouble! Tho very lirst utterance when we come into the world is a ery. Without amy teach- ing, w e learn to weep. What has so wrinkled that man's faoe? What has so prematurely whitened his hair? What calls ou t that sigh? What starts that tear? Trouble! trouble! I find It in tho cellar of poverty, an d far up among th o heights of th e top oi th e crags; \— * u '\ also hath gone over th e tops of the high- est mountains. No escape from It. You go into the store, an d it meets you a t your counting desk; yon g o into th o street, and It meets you a t the corner; you go into the honse, and It meets you at the door. Tears of poverty! tears oi persecution! tears of bereavement!—a de- luge of tears! Gathered together from all th e earth, they could float a n ark larger than Noah's. But the glorified, looking u p t o th o bow that spans the throne, shall see that the deluge is over. No shivering wretch on th o palace step; no blind man a t tho gate of the heavenly temple, asking for alms; no grinding of the screw driver on coffin lid. They look up a t tho rainbow, and read, in lines of yellow, and red, an d green, and blue, and orange, and indigo, and„ violet, \They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall th o sun light on them, nor any heat; for th e Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, an d shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Thank God for the glory span- i ing the throne! In our boyhood wo had a superstition that, at the foot of the rainbow there, was a easkot of gold; but 1 have to announco that at tho foot of this rainbow of heaven there is a box made out of the wood of j the cross. Open It, and you find all th e treasures of heaven. Oh that our eyes may all look upon this bow of promise, lifted by Christ's own hand! \Ve,,shall trace the separate lines of beauty across the firmament. Ia the line of red I' shall see the blood of my Lord; in tho blue, the bruises that col- ored his cheek; in th e green, the fresh- ness of hi s grace; in th e violet, his hu- mility, in all that curve of beauty, tho bend of his right arm of love swung over all tho redeemed. But mind what I told you a t the begin- ning,and what I tell you a t the close none but Noah's family in the rainbow, and that only those who aro at last in Christ shall discovery i t amid the glories of heaven. \Except a man be born again not see the kingdom of God.\ eoanoN'S cnAit?iEi> iifje Ctio Miraculous Escapes from Death of Georgia's Soldier-Governor. For the first two years of the war tho life of General Gordon appeared to be protected by some omnipotent power. In leading his men h e was constantly ex- posed, and though others fell on every side of him he remained uninjured. H e was bruised many times, but never once was a drop of his blood spilled. His clothes o n several occasions were pierced and rent b y bullets, hi s hat was twice lifted from his head, and his canteen was shot from his side without his being hurt... Finally a superstition grew among the men that their leader bore a charmed life. And when the opening shot a t the battle of Sharpsburg was fired it was asserted that the bullet ha d never been molded that would break the skin WHO OAVXI THIS ovrr (To the eleven ladle* who presented m* frith the silver loving oup, August 29,1889.] \Who gave this cup?\ Th e secret than wouldst steal Its brimming flood forbids ft to reveal;'' No mortal's eye shall read It till h e first Cool the red throat of thirst.

In that one fight General Gordon had more narrow es- capes than almost any other man who survived through th e great four years' struggle, At the beginning of the engagement a chell burst immedia' ely in front of him, and a large piece struck him fairly in chest. A bad bruise wa s inflicted, but Gordon never showed that he felt th e pain of i t and continued a t the head of his men.

The Egyptian \Book.of th e Dead\ or funeral ritual contains, probably, tho oldest existing record of-the faith of man in the immortality of the soul, lts'chap- ters are found inscribed on mummy cases or wtitten on rolls of papyrus within them. The Book recounts the supposed experience of-the soul after death ; its passage across the land of darkness into the blessed fields, to its final judgment and final admission into the presence of its Father in \the eternal dwelling-place ' of the cleansed spirit.\ Th e following passage from one of these mummy cases recently exhumed shows its expressed through his left shoulder, breaking in two and leaving half the lead buried i n the bone. Tottering and scarcely able t o stand, Gordon turned to rally his men, and as h e did so the final wound was in- flicted. Square i n the left cheek the bul- let struck, coining out under the ear. At last the wonderful physical energy gave 1 way, and the dauntless commander fell forward, with his mutilated face buried I in his cap, and so he would have died, drowned by th e blood that flowed ; o freely, but for a bullet hole which h:ul pierced his cap unnoticed, and allowed the red fluid to escape. How long Gen- eral Gordon la y there unconscious ho never knew, but the sensations he ex - perienced, as he himself describes them, must have been very terrible. H e says ne felt that a 6-pound shot had carried away his head. He argued with himself thai if his head was gone he could no longer think, as the brain must have been destroyed. Then h e concluded that he was dead, and it was only th o immate- rial part of the man still hovering over the useless clay that was thinking ; fin- ally h e decided that if h e were alive h e could move his legs, but if he were dead he had no legs. With a great effort ho did move his limbs and, pierced as they were, he drew them almost t o his chest. The effort sent the little blood remain- ing in his body to the brain, an d he re- I covered consciousness only to faint again. When he next came to himself h e was on a litter being taken to the rear, For seven months General Gordon remained away from his command. A t th e en d of that time, though hi s wounds were only partially healed, he returned to duty as brigadier general. He passed through several other doa- ,ter. TEAKS OF SOHHOW. you.

The most wonderful perforrnances^were i n hyno- tism. \ Framjee Cowasjee Jeejeebhoy, a mil- lionaire Rasee merchant, son of Framjee Cowasjee, the founder of th e Bombay institute of physical inquiry bearing his name, gave me his word for this re- markable story : \'In the North of India, was a famous h^pontist who possessed the power of j hypontizing himself. Hi s wife, who knew his- secret, was accustomed t o re - vive him whenever he exercised this ex- ceptional power. He killed a man and was sentenced to execution. Several days before the time of the execution h e hypnotized himself, passing into a con- dition which apparently was death S o perfeet was th e senablanoe th e govern- ment physicians who were called in offic- ially certified thEtr he was dead an d ordered his body cremated. But at this, point hi s wife appeared. She wag stricken with grief, moaned and weptun- til the hearts of the authorities were touched. She was permitted /to take •feway the body fo r private cremation. Then she revived her husband, and to - gether they-escaped.\. - <••'*':,•' I No use for a glil to tell her deaf and ago of very creditable convictions upoa_/ a certain common lack of th e nicest courtesy among young women who ar e really very well bred, and who would not offend for the world if they stopped to think. He told the story himself a s follows : \During on e of my busiest weeks I invited a young woman to go with mo to the theater on a certain first night \When the evening came I reached he r lio ne shortly before 8 o'clock. I waited in the reception room for some time. Then the mamma appeared. Wechatte'd for a quarter of an hour longer.

I partic- ularly wanted to see the opening of th* play. \Then I rose and took one of my checks from my pocket. ' Madam,' I said t o tho mother, 'here is the check for Miss D—-'a chair and the carriage is a t th e door. AVill you be kind enough t o ask her to come when it suits her best For my- self, I want t o se e th e opening of tba, play.' And I walked out\ \And what did the young woman do?\ asked the three breathless listeners all at once. \She came i n th e course' of half an hour. She had good sense enough to take the rebuke i n th e right way. Sh* ktew she deserved it.\ \ Oh, but I would never have forgiven youl\ Big bed the chorus.—[New York Bun.
