New York, Aug, 2I.—For the bereaved
and faint-beaMed there could be no
words of strOuger consolation or °tomer-
agetnent than those of the sermon pre-
pared by Rev. Dr. Talmage for to -day.
His subject was "Surpassing Splendors."
With inimitable touth be has pictured
the glories and attractions a the world.
beyond, the skies in a way to bring joy to
believing souls and to fascivate even the
thoughtless and indifferent. The text
chosen was, "Eye hath not seen nor ear
board," 1 Corinthians li., 9.
"I am going to heaven ! I am going to
heaven Heaven 1 ReaVen 1 Heaven 1"
These were the last words uttered a
few clays ago by my precious wife as she
ascended to be with God forever, and is
it not natural as well as Christianly ap-
propriate that our thoughts be much
directed toward the glorious residence of
which St. Paul speaks in the text I have
(Mann?
TIM city of Corinth has been called the
Paris of antiquity. Indeed, for splendor
the world holds no such wonder to -day.
It stood on an isthmus washed by two
seas, the one bringing the commerce of
Europe, the other the commerce of Asia.
From her wharves, in the construction of
which whole kingdoms had been absorb-
ed, war galleys with three banks of ears
pushed out and confounded the navy
yards of all the world. Huge handed
machiery, such• as anodern invention can-
not eqoal, lifted ships from the sea on
one side and transported them on trunks
across the isthmus and set them down
in the sea on the other side.
The revenue officers of the city went
down through the olive .groves that lined
the beach to collect a tariff from all
nations. The mirth of all people sported
In her Isthmian games and the beauty
of all lands sat in her theaters, walked
her porticoes and threw itself on the
altar of her stupendous dissipation.
Column and statue and temple bewildered
the beholder. There were white marble
fonntains into which, froru apertures at
the side, there rushed waters everywhere
known for health -giving qualities.
Around these basms,twisted into wreaths
of stone, there were all the beauties of
sculpture and architecture, while stand-
ing, as if to guard the costly display. was
a statue of Hercules of burnished Cor-
inthian brass. Vases of terra cotta
adorned the cemeteries of the dead—vases
so costly that Julius Caesar was not sat-
isfied until he had captured them for
Borne. Armed offlcials, the "Carinthia-
rii, " paced up and down to see that no
statue was defaced, no pedestal over-
thrown, no bas-relief touched. From the
edge of the oity a hill arose, with its
xnagnificent burden of columns and towers
and temples -1,000 slaves awaiting at one
shrine—and a citadel so thoroughly im-
pregnable that Gibraltar is a heap of
sand coinpared with it. Amid all that
strength and magnificence Corinth' stood
and defied the world.
Oh, it was not torustics who had never
seen anything grand that St. Paul utter-
ed this text. They had heard the best
music that had come from the best in-
struments in all the. world, they had
beard songs floating from morning porti-
coes and melting in evening groves, they
had passed their whole lives away among
pictures and sculpture ana, architecture
and Corinthian brass which had been
molded and shaped, until there was no
chariot wheel in which it had not sped,
and no tower in which it had not glitter-
ed, and no gateway that it had not
adorned.
Ah. it was a bold thing for Paul to
stand there amid all that and say: "All
this is nothing. These sounds that come
from the temple of Neptune are not
music) compared with the harmony of
which I speak. These waters rushing in
the basin of Pyrene are not pure. These
statues of Bacchus and Mercury are not
exquisite. Yon citadel of A erocorinthus
is not strong compared with that which I
offer to the poorest slave that puts down
bis burden at that brazen gate. You,
Corinthians, think this is a splendid
city; you think you have heard all sweet
souods and seen all beantiful sights; but
I tell yon "eye bath not seen, nor ear
beard, neither have entered into the
heart of man the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him."
You seamy text sets forth the idea that
however exalted our ideas may be, of
heavea. they come far short of the real-
ity. Some wise mon have been calculat-
ing how many furlongs long and wide
heaven is, and they have calculated how
many inhabitants there are on the earth,
how long the earth will, probably stand,
and then they come to this estimate—
that after all tbe nations had been
gathered to hea yen,there will be a
room for each soul, a room sixteen feet
long and fifteen feet wide. It would not
be largo enough foe me. 1 am glad to
know that no human estimate is suffici-
ent, to talee the dimensions. "Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard," nor arithmetic
calaul abed.
I first remark that we can in this
word get no idea of the health of heave.
When you wore a child,ancl you wont out
in the morning, how you bounded along
the road or street—you had never felt sor-
row or sickness! Perhaps later—perhaps
In these very summer days—you telt a
glow in your cheek, and a spring in your
step, and au exuberance of spirits, and
clearuess of eye, that made you thank
God you were permitted to live. The
nerves were harp strings, and the sun-
light was a doxology, and the restling
'MINOR were the rustling of the robes of a
groat, crowd rising up to praise the Lord.
Yon thought that you know what it
was to be well, but there is no perfect
health on earth. The diseases of past
generations come down to us. The airs
that float now on the earth tree unlike
those which floated above paradise They
are eharged with linparities and dis-
tempers. The most elastic and volnist
health of earth, coinpared with that
'Willett those experience bottle mitosis the
gates bityo been opened, is nothing but
sickness and emaciation. Look at that
seal standing before the throne, On

hansting pains, no hospitals of wounded

I relearn further that we can iu this
arid get no just idea of the splendor of
Navel], SD. John tries to describe it.
Be says, "The 12 gates are la pearls,"
and that "the foundations of the wall
are gernislied with all manner of preeious
stones." As we stand looking through
the telescope of St. John we see a blaze
of amethyst and pearl and emerald and
sairtionyx and chrysoprasus and sapphire
mountain of ligbt, a cataract of color,
it BOA Ot glass and a city; like the sun.
St John bids us look again, and we
see thrones—thrones of the prophets,
thrones ot into patriarchs, thrones of tho
augels, thrones of the apostles, threees of
the martyrs, throne of Jesus, throne of
God. And we turn round to see the
glory, and it is—throaes! Thrones!
Thrones!
St. John bids us look again, ad we see a.
great procession of the redeemed passing.
Jesus, on a white horse, leads the march,
and all the armies of salvation follow
int white horses. Infinite cavalcade pass-
ing, passing; empires pressing into line,
ages following ages. Dispensation tramp-
ing on after dispensation. Glory in the
track of glory. Europe, Asia, Africa
and North and South America pressing
into lines. Islands of the sea shoulder to
.shoulder. Generations before the flood
following generations after the flood,and
as Jesus rises at the head of that great
host and waves bite sword in signal
of victory all crowns are lifted and
all ensigns flung out, and all chimes
rung, and all hallelujahs chanted, and
some cry, "Glory to God most high,"
and some, "Hosanna to the Son of
David," and some, "Worthy is the Lamb
that was slain"— till all exclamations of
endearment and homage in the vocabul-
ary of heaven are exhausted and there
come up surge after surge of "Amen!
Amen 1 Amen 1"
I remark further we can get no idea on
earth of the reunions of heaven. If you
have over been across the sea and mot a
friend or even an acquaintance in some
strange city, you remember how your
blood thrilled, and how glad you were to
SCO bine What, then, will be our joy,
after we have passed the seas of death.
to meet in the bright city of the sun those
from whom we have long boon separated!
After we have been away front our
friend a 10 or 15 years, and NVe come
upon them, we see how differently they
•look. The hair turned, and wrinkles
have come in their faces, and we say,
"How you have changed!" But, oh,
when you stand before the throne, all
cares gone from the face, all marks of
sorrow disappeared, and feeling the joy
of that blessed land, methinks we will
say to each ott er with an exultation we
cannot now imagine "How you have
changed!" In this world we only meet
to part. It is good -by, good -by fare-
wells floating in the air. We hear it
at the rail oar window, and at the steam-
boat wharf—goocl-by. Children lisp it,
and old age answers it. Sometimes we
say it in a light way—"good-by"—and
sometimes with anguish in which the
soul breaks down. Good -by! Ah
That is the word that ends the thanks-
giving banquet ; that is the word that
comes in to close the Christmas chant
Good -by! good -by! But not so in heaven.
Welcomes in the air, welcomes at the
gates, welcomes at the house of many
mansions—but no goo' -by. That group
is constantly being augmented They are
going up from our circles of earth to join
it—little voices to join the anthem, little
bands to take hold of it in the great
home circle, little feet to dance in the
the eternal glee, little crowns to be cast
down at the feet of Jesus. Our friends
are in two groups—a group on this side
of the river and a group on the other
side of the river. Now there goes one front
this to that, and another from this to
that, and soon we'll all be gone over.
How many of your toyed ones have al-
ready entered upon that blessed place?
If 1 slabuld take paper andpencil, do you
think I could put them all down? Ah,
lny friends, tho waves of Jordan roar so
hoarsely we cannot hear the joy on the
other side where their group is augment-
ed. It is graves here and coffins and
hearses there.
A little child's mother had died, and
they comforted her. They said: "Your
mother has gone to heaven. Don't ory"
And the next day they went to the grave-
yard, and they laid the body of the
another down iuto the ground, and the
little girl came up to the verge of the
grave, and looking down at the body of
)ler mother said, "Is this heaven?" Oh,
we have no idea what Maven is 1 It is
the grave here, it is darkness liere, but
there is merry-makin,g yonder. Methinks
when a soul arrives some angel takes it
round to show it the wouclers of that
blessecl place. Tbe usher angel says to
the newly arrived: "These are the mar-
tyrs that perished at Piedmont. These

This is the throne of the great Jehovah.

us," said a dying negro boy. "1 am go-

said, "You are sure you will see him?"
"Oh, yes, that's what I want to go to
beaven for." "But." said the IlliSSi011-
ary, "suppose that Jesus should go away
from heavon—what then?" "I should
follow him," said the dying negro boy.
"But if Jesus wont down to bell—what

moment and thou he said," Massa, yeller°

not imagims it now, our loved ones seem
so far away. When we are in trouble and
lonesome. they don't seem to come to us.
We go op the banks of the Jordan and
call across to them, but they don't seem
to bear. We say, "Is it 'well with the

And we listen to bear if any voice

L.esssissasss,s
I remark again, we cen in this WOrld
gee no idea of the song of heaven. Yen

day was won We appreciate the power
of secular music, but do we appreciate
the power of sacred song? There is ea -
thing more inspiring to me than a whole
congregation lifted up on the wave of
holy melody. When we sing soine of those
dear old psahns and tunes, they rouse
all the memories of tbe past, Why, some
of them were cradle songs in our father'S
bouse. They are all sparkling with the
morning dew of a thousand Christian
Sabbaths. They wore sung by brothers
and sisters gone now, by voices that were
aged and broken in the muSie—Velees
none tbe less as sweet because they did
tremble and break. When I hear these
old songs sung, it seemS as if all the old
country meeting -houses joined in the
ehorus, and Scotch kirk and sailors'
bothet and western cabins, untirthe
wbole continent lifts the doxology, and
the scepters of eternity boat time to the
musle. Away, then with your starveling
tunes tht chill the devotions Of the sand-
s-1mm and make the people sit silent when
Jesus is coming to hosanna.
But my friends, if anusio on earth is so
sweet what will it be in heaven? They
all know the tune there. Methinks the
tune of heaven will be made up partly
from the songs of earth, the best parts
of all our hymns and tunes going to add
to the song of Moses and the Lamb, All
the best singers of all the ages will join
it—choirs of white -robed children, choirs
of patriarths, theirs of apostles, morn-
ing stars clapping their cymbals, harpers
with their harps. Great anthems of God
roll on, roll on, other empires joining
the lummony till the thrones are full of
it and the nations all saved. Anthem
shall tenth anthem, chorus join chorus,
and all the sweet sounds of earth and
heaven be poured into the ear of Christ.
David of the harp will be there, Gabriel
of the trumpet will be there. Germany,
redeemed, will pour its deep bass voice
into the song, and Africa will add to the
music with her matchless voices.
I wish we could anticipate that song. I
wish in the closing hymns of the churches
today we might catch an echo that slips
from the gates. Who knows but that
when the heavenly door opens to -day to
let some soul through there may come
forth the strain of the jubilant voices
until wo catch it? Ob, that as the song
drops down from heaven it might meet
half way a song coining up front earth!
PEARL FISHING.
A New and. Profitable Industry Suggested
In the Rivers.
Recent investigations by those versed in
the subject bave made it evident that the
rivers of Quebec teem with pearls. Though
the fact is not generally known, it appears
that for some time past a few individuals
have devoted ranch of their time to inland
peer] fishing in this provinae, with very
satiefactory results, though they may not
have become wealthy at it. Fine stones
are vermrare, though some are ocasionally
found of the right color, and as large as a
good-sized pearl and perfectly round. But
the loss valuable kinds are very numerous,
pearl -bearing shells being common in all
the streams below the eity of Quebec and
in ninny of theta above it. The shells
themselves are of beautiful colors. A fine
collection has been taken from the river
Nicolet, near Montreal, and if people who
really knew something about the habits of
the pearl -bearing mollusks were to go into
the business here it is possible that a profit-
able business might be established. Some
of the richest pearl rivers in the province
are believed to be those in the newly -open-
ed up Lake St. John district, which are
now so mnch frequented: by American
anglers. Remarkably fine specimens have
recently been taken out of one of the trib-
utaries of the Peribonea. Fishing for
them is not an easy tasle,as the good shells
generally keep themselves in pretty (loop
water, and are only distimmished with
difficulty from the others. Even after ob-
taining the shellesthe search, for the pearl
Is a long and delicate one. I5 may be hid-
den in the body of the mollusk or broken
in too violently opening the shell.
Japanese Moralizing.
An English teacher in a Japanese school
discovered, by giving out subjects tor com-
position, that the pupils had been trained
to find a moral in everything, animate and
inanimate. Mr, Hearn, in his "Glimpses
of Unfamiliar Japan," gives a few Wet -
MODS of the moral ideas evoked from the
native students by subjects for English
composition. One boy thus wrote on
"Mosquitoes."
"On summer nights we hear the sound
of faint voices, and little things come and
sting our bodies violently. We call them
kee—in Refinish''mosquitoes.'' I think
tho sting is nseful for ns, . because if we
begin to sleep the lea, shall ccmie and sting
us, uttering a small voice. Then we shall
be bringed back to study by the sting."
To another popil was assigned the botan
(Japanese peony) for a composition., and
he wrote:
'The botau is large and beauitful to see,
but it has a disagreeable smell. This
should make us remember that what is
only outwardly beautiful in human so-
ciety should not attraet us. To be attract -
ted by beauty only may lead us into fear-
ful and fatal misfortune.
The Preservation ot wood.
Common pine CT even basswood may he
rendered almost indestructible, it is said,
by soaking in a solution composed of one
part blue vitriol and twenty of water, A
French railwaY oontraetor announces a
method of treating planks, oto., that
greatly enhances their value. Ho piles the
lumber in a tank and then covers thickly
with quicklime. Water is slowly addeii
till the limo is Slacked. In about a week
the wood becomes impregnated, and is
ready for use. Timber prepared in this
way has been used in mines and other ex-
posed. oonstruetions with good results. Dr.
Fouchwangor gives an account of the ex-
periments made by him for the preserva-
tion of wood. He says that wood boiled
nIrst in lime water and then coated with
silicate of soda, or liquid glass, will last it

MURDER OEEM1N PASHA
STORY FROM THE LIPS QF THOSE
WHO KILLED HIM.
The (mature of the AssassIDS Mid Their
Story of the Deed ai Bxtracted rrem
Thom hy Bolted States Agent Malmo—
Details of the Crime.
Tbe dettlitS of the uttirder of Emi n Pasha
stirred the whole civilizee world, The
story is told by R. Dorsey Koltun, United
States agent in the Congo Eree State. Two
of the murderers of Hann Pasha were dis-
covered by Mr. lVfohun's Sergeant, who
had been a member of Stanley's expedition
far the relief of Brain, They were arrest-
ed, and a confession was drawn from them
by Mr, Mohun. The murderers were
hanged last May. The leading points in
their confession are as follows:
Ismailia began by stating that he had
been in the service of Enain Pasha, having
been toasted to 11101 by Said to take (shame
of his caravans 00 the march from the Un -
hero. I Asked him if he had beeu well
treated on the road, and if he had any
cause of compnunt to make against Emin
Pasha. He answered that he hada-Ione;
that he had always been treated with the
greatest kindness, and that the Pasha had
frequently given him pieces of cloth for
himself aud for his three women; that he
liked the Pestle very much, and had no
feeling of batted against him. Mamba
'broke in, saying that ne also liked the
died.
Pasha, and that he was very sorry he had
Mamba then turned to me and said: "I
did not want to help kill the Pasha, but I
knew that Kibonge 'was a much bigger
chief than My master, Said, and thab if I
did not obey he would probably kill me; so
Iertdoelid
deIs.mo ailia that 1 would do as I was
Ismailia, continuing said: "I then went
back to Kinena's, and on the veranda of
the chief's house Emin 'Pasha was seated,.
surrounded by et few of his soldiers. He
was writing at his table, and many birds
and bugs were scattered around. These
he had caught coming from the Aruwimi.
The first letter,whichMantha had brought,
was in front of him, and be was laughing,
and seemed in cheerful spirits at the
thought of leaving next morning for Kib-
onge. Kinena came up with a few men,
Who were carrying guns. Kinena had in
his hand the letter which I had given him.
He stopped near the Pasha, and began
reading to himself. When he had finish-
ed he said: 'Pasha, as you are going to
leave to-morrowmorning for a twelve
days' march, don't you think you had bet-
ter send your men into the plantations,
and get bananas, manioc and peanuts for
the long march which you have before you?
Tell your men to get all they wish; and I
hope that you won't think of paying me
for them, as it is my present to you, and is
in return for the many little things which
you have given me and my women since
you have beeu my guest.' The Pasha look-
ed up, and thanked Kinena very much.
He then told one of his orderlies to have
the bugler call the men, which was done.
"When they arrived Kinena said: 'Tell
the men to leave their arms on the side Of
' the veranda, because if they go into the
plantations carrying guns the women
working there will become frightened and
run away.' Thereupon Emin's men,nutn-
bering thirty or forty, placed their guns on
the veranda, and departed. The planta-
tions were an hour's walk from the house.
During the time it took the men to go to
the plantations Kinena talked to Main,
expressing his ',egret at his departure.
Mamba and I were standing next to the
Pasha and at a sign from the chief we
seized by the arms as he was sitting in
his chair. He turned and asked what we
meant. Kinena looked at him and said,
'Pasha, you have got to dial' Emin turned
and exclaimed rather angrily: 'What do
you mean? Is this a joke? What do you
mean by seizing 100 111 this manner? What
are you talking about my dying for? Who
are you that you can give orders for amen
to die?' Kinena replied: 'I do not give the
orders. I receive them from Kibonge,who
IS my chief; and when Kibonge gives an
obeyeniat''s men came and as-
ord,TerhtroeemeeiI Kin
sisted us in holding Emin, who was strug-
gliug to free himself and to get at his re-
volver lying ou the table; but his efforts
were fruitless, and we foreed him back
into his chair. Then Emin told Kinena
that it was all a mistake, as he had just
received a letter from Kibonge that morn-
ing saying that he should have safe con-
duct to his village, and that the letter was
on his table in front of him. Kinena re-
plied, 'Pasha, you read Arabic, don't you P'
'rei: read this,' holding the second
letter close to Emin's eyes, as the Pasha
idiltidh.e letter and saw that it
wa,,sEtntelainrlyreba
was true. Drawing a long breath he turn-
ed and said; 'Well, you may kill me but
don't think that I am the only white man
to this couutry. There are many others
who will be willing to avenge my death;
and let me tell you tbat in less than two
years from now there won't be an Arab
left in the entire country now held by
your people."
I asked Ismailia if Emin showed any
signs of fear, and he said that he showed
none; but when be spoke of having care
about his child, Is -

Atva
Grewsome
The photographed hand of a friend set
under glass as a paper weight makes
rather an interesting souvenir. But the
Prince of Wales has appropriated to this
purpose the grisly token of a munamied
hand of one of the daughters of the Phar-
aohs. Let us hope a fashion so royally in-
stituted may not find followers in this age
of the worship of grewsome realism, or we
shall see the lover sighing like a furnace
over some genuine relic of this kind, be-
queathed to him by his departed fair; and
the widower cherishing among the papers
upon his desk a touch that in life was less
welcome there. None of these suggestions
compare, however, with the actual experi-
ence we had in visiting in London a few
months ago the house of a gentleman who
had spent many years his life in explor-
ing many lands, and aad lined bis halls
with curios of travel. 'Upon a shield of
maroon velvet was a group of odd speci-
mens, among them a carved wooden knife
and fork and a human thigh bone.
"That," said our friend, with perfect seri-
ousness, "is all that is left of a capital fel-
low 1 knew—a missionary in one of the
South Sea Islands, who would trust to the
conversion of the natives, and remained
among them. After I came away they ate
him with that very knife and fork. The
things were sent to me by a rescuing
party, who unfortunately arrived too late.

Sample of Modern Gallantry.
This incident illustrates the sort of gal-
lantry that is most prevalent in this de-
generate age: As a Knox County man
and his wife were passing the school-
houses a flying snowball hit the wife of his
bosom in the neck. He was enraged, and
jus: te, :tad turning to the schoelboys
slintsint.thie fist in, anger, he cried: "Ws
1 ncky for you, you rascals, that you didn't
hit mel" —Bangor News.
Tile Irony of Irate.
Mr. Whymper. the famous mouotain-
climber, was engaged recently to deliver a

tg experiences, and in ascending the stair-
case leading to the platform he missed his
footing awl fell to the bottom, fracturing
his collar bone.
PROMISES.
Promises aro softly spoken,
Where self-interest ealls,
Full as qidekly are they broken.
When misfortune falls:
Take the fuleome promise purely
As a vane that plays—
Yet the promisor will surely
Keep it—if it pays.
MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
Better Than Paint or Beefsteak for Oblit-
erating Evidence of 'Natio Encounters.
Those who make a business of oblitera-
ting evidence of fistic encounters in the
shape of black eyes by painting the dam-
aged optics no longer enjoy a monopoly of
00011 business. This I was told by a pugi-
listic acquitintance whose experience en-
titles him to be regarded as an authority
on the subject.
t"Massage treatment of the region af-
fected," he seal, "will beat paint and raw
beefsteak all hollow, But it should be ap-
plied immediately after the injury is re-
ceived in order to prove thoroughly effi-
cacious. It does not require an expert to
do it. All that is necessary le to move the
fingers rapidly and firmly over the brnised
surface, toad to keep it up until the
last vestige of discoloration has disap-
peared. The explanation is easy. Where
the blow has been received the
blood becomes congested, It is the clots of
bleed showing through the transparent
skin that produces the black effect. The'
pressure of the fingers gradually loosens
the clotted blood, whieh passes off into the
general current of circulation, and fresh
and properly colored blood takes its place.
However, as a rule, the professional
"pug" does not bother himself about se-
celerating the disappearance of a hineir
eye, It is a sign which proolanns the faeb
that its proprietor has recently filled an
engagement, and as each he is a)2 obtect
of envy to his less fortunate brethren. It
is the man about town, whose overindul-
gence occasionally causes him. to forget
that discreticte is the better part of valor,
who is apt to profit most by the knowledge
that massege, promptly applied, will re-
move the signs of mourning from att eye
that has been in violent contact with SOIne
,other fellow's fist, and thus obviate the
sneCessity of inventing 0 story to accouat
for it, which, however ingeniolts, will be
sneered at by sceptical mad incredtileue
acquaintances, some of whom may halo
"been there themselves."

Ivoey Ball IVfalcing a Slow Process.
It does not look reasonable that 6 to 12
months should be needed to make 5 bit -
'lard ball, but a first class ball cannot be
manufactured in less time, owing to the
tendency of carved ivory to shrink. If it
shrank equally, a hall could be eat and pol-
lobed in a few hours bat it does net, the
shrinkage being greater in the direction of
the width than of the length of the tat&
A ball roust thus be roaghly eitaped, then
kept tor a number of months, anal the
shrinkage process has been completed,
when the fine cutting and polishing may 1*
