Washington, Oct, 15,—The gospel
as a great refreshment is here set
forth by Dr. Talmage under a figure
which will be found particularly
graphic hythose who have gene oat
as hunters to find game in the moue-
tains; text, Psalm xiii, I, "As the
hart panteth after the water
brooks."
David, who must some time have
seen a deer hunt, points us here to a
hunted etag making for the water.
The fascinating animal, called in my
text the hart, is the saane animal
that in sacred and profane literature
is called the stag, the roebuck, the
hint]. the gazelle, the reindeer. In
central a'yriaa in Bible times there
were whole pasture fields of them,
as Soloman suggests when he says,
"I charge you by the hinds of the
field." Their antlers jutted front the
long grass as they lay dawn. No,
hunter who has been long in "dohs
Brown's tract" will w ouder that in
the Bible they were classed among
clean animals, for the dews, the
showers, the lakes, washed them as
Iv clean as the sky. When Isaac, the
patriarch, lnngod for venison, Esau
shot and brought homea roebuck.
Isaiah compares time sprightliness of
the restere•tl Cripple of the millennial
times to the, long and quick jump of
the stag, saying, .The lame shall
leap as the hart." Solomon express-
ed his disgust at a hunter who, hav-
ing shot a deer, is too lazy to cook
it, saying, "The slothful man reinst-
ate not that which he took in as
hunt-
amr• you depreciated then, or they
reeaehed you in a ba.rgain, and
youe tried in Wall street parlance, to
get a corner on them. Or you have
had bereavement, and, instead of be -
inn submissive, you are fighting
that bereavement. You charge on
the doctors who have failed, to effect
a cure. Or you charge on the care-
lessness of the railroad company
through 'which the accident occurred.
Or you are a chronic invalid, and
you fret and worry and scold and
wonder why you cannot be well like
other people. and you angrily charge
on the neuraigia or the larnygitis or
the ague or the sick headache. The
fact .is you are a deer at bay, In-
stead of running to the waters of di-
vine consolation and slaking your
thirst and cooling your body and
soul in the good cheer of the gospel
and swimming away into the mighty
deeps of Goers love, you are fight-
ing a, whole kennel of harriers.
Some time ago I saw in the Adir-
ondacks adog lying across the road,
and he seemed unable to get up, and
I said to some hunters, "What is
the matter with that dog?" They
answered, "A deer hurt him," and I
saw he had a swollen paw and a bat-
tered head, showing where the ant-
lers struck Aim. And the probabili-
ty is that some of you might give a
mighty clip to your pursuers. Y ou
might damage their business, you
night worry thein into ill health,
you might hurt thein as .touch as
they hurt you; but, after alh it is
not worth while. You only have
hurt oa hound. Better be off for the
Upper Saranac, into which the
mountains of God's eternal strength
look down and moor their shadows.
There are whole chains of lakes in
the Adirondacks, and from one height
you can see 30 lakes, and there are
said to be over SOO in the great wil-
derness. So near are they to each
other that your mountain guide
Dirks up and carries the boat thorn
leke to lake, the small distance be-
tween thelia for that reason called a
"tarry." And the realm of God's
word Is one long chain of bright, re-
freshieg lakes, each promise a lake,
a very short carry between them,
and, though for ages the pursued
have been drinking out of them, they
are full up to the top of the green
banks, and the sante David describes
therm. and they seem so near to-
gether that in three different places
he speaks of theme es a continuous
river, saying, "Ther' is a river the
streams whereof shall make glad the
city of trod;" "Thou shalt make
them drink of the rivers of thy pleas-
ures;" "Thou greatly enriehest it
w Kit the river of Gad, which is full
of water."
But many 01 you have turned your
back on that supply and confront
your trouble, and you are soured
with your circumstances. and you are
lighting
society,and you aro fighting
a i
n
g
a pursuing world, and troubles, in-
stead of driving you Into the cool
lake of heavenly comfort, have made
you stop and turn round and lower
your head, and it is simply antler
against tooth. I do not blame you.
Probably under the same circum-
stances I would have done worse.
But you are wrong. You need to do
as the reindeer does in February and
1tla,rch—it sheds its Borns,
But very ninny of you who are
wronged of the world --and ff In any
assembly between the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans it were asked that
all who had been badly treated
should raise both their hands, and
full response sho ld be made, there
would be twice as many hands lifted
as persons present I say many of
you would declare, "We have always
done the best we could and tried to
be useful, and why we become the
victims of malignment or invalidism
or mishap, is inscrutable." Why, do
you know that the finer a deer and
the more elegant its proportions and
the more beautiful its bearing the
more anxious the hunters and the
hounds to capture it?
Therefore sarcasm draws on you
its "finest bead;" therefore the
world goes gunning for you with its
best Winchester breechloader. High-
est compliment is it to your talent
or your virtue or your usefulness.
You will be assailed in proportion
to your great achievements. The
best and the mightiest Being the
world ever saw bad set after him all
the hounds, terrestrial and diabolic,
and they lapped his blood after the
Calvarean massacre. The world paid
nothing to its Redeemer but a bram-
ble, four spikes and a rross. Many
who have done their best to make
the world better have had such a
rough time of it that all their pleas-
ure to in anticipation of the next
world, and they would, if they could,
express their own feelings in the
words of the Baroness of Nairn, at
the close of her long life, when ask-
ed if she would like to live her life
over again:
Mg."
But one day David, while far from
the Rome from which he had been,
driven and sitting near the iuouth of
a, lonely gave where he had lodged
and on the banks of a pond or river,
hears a p,tek of hounds in swift pur-
suit. Because of the previous silence
of the forst the clangor startles
him, and be says to himself, "I won-
der what those dogs are lettere'
Then there is a erncklitag in the
brushwood and the loud breathing
of some rushing wonder of the
woods, and the antlers of a deer
rend the Maes of the thicket, and.
by an instinct which all hunters re-
cognize it plunges into a. pond or
lake or river to cool its thirst and
at the sante time, by its capacity
for swifter and longer swimming, to
get away from the foaming har-
riers.
David says to himself: "Aha! That
is myself! Saul after ane, Absalom
after rte, enemies without number
after me. I am chased, their bloody
muzzles at my heels, barking at nay
good nanme, backing after my body,
Marking after my soul. Oh, the
hounds, the hounds] But look
there!" says David. "That hunted
deer has splashed into the water.
It puts its hot lips and nostrils into
the cool wave that washes the lath-
ered flanks, and it swims away from
the fiery canines, and it is free at
last. Oh, that I might iInd in the
deep, wide lake of God's mercy and
consolation escape from my pursuers!
Oh, for the seaters of life and res-
cue As the hart panteth after the
water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, 0 God."
Some of you have just come from
the Adironclacks, and the breath of
the balsam and spruce and pine is
still on you. The Adirondacks are
now populous with hunters, and the
deer are being slain by the score.
Once while there talking with a hun-
ter I thought I would like to see
whether my text was accurate io its
allusion, and as I heard the dogs
baying a little way off and
supposed they were on the track of
a. deer I said to the hunter in rough
corduroy, "Do the deer always make
for the water when they are pur-
sued?" He said: "Oh, yes, inister.
You see, they are a hot and thirsty
animal, and they know where the
water is, and when they hear dan-
ger in the distance they lift their
antlers and snuff the breeze and start
for Racquet or Loon or Saranac, and
we get into our cedar shell boat or
stand by the runway with rifle load-
ed ready toblaze away."
9' - My friends, that is one reason why
I like the Bible so much. Its par-
tridges Are real partridges, its os-
triches real ostriches and its rein=
deer real reindeer. I do not wonder
that this antlered glory of the text
makes the hunter's eye sparkle and
his cheek glow and his respiration
quicken, to say nothing of its use-
fulness, although it is the most use-
ful of all game, its flesh delicious,
its skin turned into human apparel,
its sinews fashioned into bow
strings, its antlers putting handles
on cutlery and . the shavings of its
horns used as a restorative, its name
taken from the hart and called harts-
horn. By putting aside its useful-
ness this enchanting creature seems
made out of gracefulness and elasti-
city. What an eye, with a liquid
brightness as if gathered up from a
hundred lakes at sunset! The horns
a coronal branching into every pos-
sible curve, and, after it seems done,
ascending- into other projections of
exquisiteness, a tree of polished bone,
uplifted in or swungdown for
pride.
awful combat! It is velocity em-
bodied, timidity impersonated..
Well, now, let all those who have
coming after them the lean hounds
of poverty or the black hounds of
persecution . or the spotted hounds of
vicissitude or the pale hounds of
death or who are in any wise pur-
sued run to the wide, deep, glorious
• lake of divine solace and rescue. The
most of the men and women whom
• I happen to know at different times,
Sf not now, have had • trouble after
ahem, sharp, muszled troubles swift
trnubles, all devouring , troubles.
Many of you have made the mistake
wrenches off all bondage. His handn

—it wipes awayall tears. His.
Christly atonement—it makes us all
right with the past, and all right
with the future,, tend all right with
God, all right with man, and all
right forever.
Lantartine tells us that Ding Nim-
rod said to his three sons: "Here
are three vases, and one is of clay,
another of amber and another of
gold_ Choose now which you will
have," The eldest son, having the
first choice, chose the vase of gold,
on which was written the word "Ezn-
Aire," and when it was opened it
was found to contain human blood,
The second son, making the next
choice, chose the vase .of amber, in-
scribed with the word "Glory," and.
when opened it contained the ashes
of those who were once called great.
The third son took the vase of clay
and, opening it, found it empty, but
on the bottom of it was inscribed
the name of God, King Nimrod ask-
ed his courtiers which vase they
thought weighed the most, The ava-
ricious men of his court said the vase.
of gold, the poets said the one of
amber, but the wisest men said the
empty vase, because one letter- of the
name of God outweighed a, universe.
For him I thirst, for his grace I
beg, on his promise I build my all,
Without hint I cannot be happy. I
have tried the world, and it does
well enough as far as it goes, but
it is too uncertain a world, too
evanescent a world. I ant not a pre
judiced witness. 1 have nothing
against this world. I have been one
of the most fortunate or, to use a
more Christian word, one of the
most blessed of nmee—blessed in my
parents, blessed in the place of nam
tivity, blessed in my health, blessed
in any fields of work, blessed in my
natural temperament, blessed in my
farrtily, blessed in my opportunities,
blessed in the hope that my soul will
go to heaven through the pardoning
mercy of Cod, and my body, unless
it be lost at seaor cremated in
some conflagration, will lie down
among my kindred and friends, some
already gone and others to come af
ter ane.
Through Jesus Christ make this
God your God, and you can with-
stand anything and everything, and
that which affrights others will in-
spire you --.-as in time of earthquake,
when an old Christian woman, asked
whether she was scared, answered,
"No; I am glad that I have a God
who can shake the world," or as in
a financial panic, when a. Christian
merchant, asked if he did not fear
he would break, answered, "Yes; I
shall break when the Fiftieth Psalm
breaks in the fifteenth verse, "Call
upon me in the day of trouble; I
Will deliver thee, and thou shalt
glorify ire,' "
We are told in Revelation xxii, 1,5,
"Without are clogs," by which I con-
clude there is a whole kennel of
hounds outside the gate of heaven,
or, as when a master goes in a door,
his clog lies on the steps waiting for
him to come out, so the troubles of
this life may follow us to the shining
door, but they cannot get in.
"Without are dogs." I have seen
clogs and owned dogs that I would
not be chagrined to see in the hea-
venly city. Some of the grand old
watchdogs who are the constabulary
of the homes in solitary places and
for years have been the only protec-
tion of wife and child, some of the
shepherd dogs that drive back the
wolves and bark away the flock from
going too near the precipice and
some of the dogs whose neck and
paw Landseer, the painter, has made
immortal would not find me shut-
ting them out from the gate of shin-
ing pearl.
I say if some soul entering heaven
should happen to leave the gate ajar
and these faithful creatures should
quietly walk in it would not at all
disturb my heaven. But all those
human or brutal hounds that have
chased and torn and lacerated the
world—yea, all that now bite or
worry or tear to pieces—shall be
prohibited. "Without are dogs." No
place there for harsh critics or back-
biters or despoilers of the reputation
of others. •Down with you to the
kennels of darkness and despair!
The hart has reached the eternal wa-
ter brooks, and the panting of the
long chase is quieted in still pas-
tures, anh "there shall be nothing
to hurt or destroy in all God's holy
mount."
Oh, when some of you 'get tbere it
will be like what a hunter tells of
when he was pushing his canoe far
up north in the winter and amid the
ice floes and a hundred miles, as he
thought, from any other human
beings. He was startled one day as
he heard a stepping on the ice, and
he cocked the rifle, ready to meet
anything that came near. He found
a man, barefooted and insane from
long exposure, approaching him.
Taking hien into his canoe and kin-
bling fres to warm him, he restored
him, found out where he had lived
and took him to his home and found
all the village in great excitement.
A hundred men were searching for
this lost man, and his family and
friends rushed out to meet him, and,
as had been agreed. at his first ap-
pearance, bells were rung, and guns
were discharged, and banquets spread
and the rescuer loaded with pres-
ents. Well, when some of you step
out of this wilderness, where you
have been chilled and torn and some-
times lost amid the icebergs, into
the warm greetingsof all the .vil-
lages of the glorified, and your
friends rush out to, give you welcom-
ing kiss, the news that there is .an-
other soil forever saved will call the
caterers of heaven to spread the ban-
quet and the bellmen to lay hold of
the ropein the tower, and while
chalices click at the feast and the
bells clang from the turrets it will
be a scene so uplifting I pray God I
may be there to take part in the
celestial merriment. And now do you
not, think the prayer in Solomon's'.
Song where he compared Christ to a
reindeer in the night would make an
exquisitely appropriate peroration to
my sermon, "Until the day break
and the shadows flee away be thou
like a roe or a young hart upon the
mountains of Bother?"
Rill •f'Tt,a Old Ideas.
Would you be young again?
So would not I.
One tear of memory given
Onward I'll hie.
Life's dark wave forded o'er,
All but at rest on shore,
Say, would you plunge once more,
With home so nigh?
If you might, would you now
Retrace your way,
Wander through stormy wilds,
Faint and astray?
Night's gloomy watches fled;
Morning, all beaming red;
Hope's smile around us shed,
Heavenward, away!
But what is a relief for all those
pursued of trouble and annoyance and
pain and bereavement? My text
gives it to you in a word of three
letters, but each letter is a chariot
if you triumph, or a throne if you
want to be crowned, ora. lake if
you would slake your thirst—yea, a
chain of three lakes—G-o-d, the one
for whom David longed and the one
whom David found. You might as
well meet a stag which, after its
sixth mile of running at the topmost
speed through thicket and gorge and
with the breathof the dogs on its
heels, has come in full sight of
Schroon Lake and try to cool its
projecting and blistered tongue with
a blade of grass as to attempt to
satisfy an immortal soul, when fly-
ing: from trouble and sin, with any-
thing less deep and high and ' broad

It is said that character may be read
from an old pair of shoes. If the sole and
heel are equally worn, the wearer is wise
and energetic if a man, faithful and or-
derly if a woman. When the inner edges
are worn, it signifies feebleness and ir-
resolution in a man, sweetness and mod-
esty in a woman. When the greater
wear appears at the outer edges, it is an.
indication that a roan is obstinate, perse-
vering and bold, and that a women is full

though she had been on the boards
for years. She went through her part
mechanically Dud without apparent
consciousness of her actions, but she
played the scene better than she bad
done at rehearsal.
"At the close of her scene she came
ori the stage, staggered to her dressing
room and sank unconscious to the
floor. She never recovered from her
coma, and an autopsy developed the
fact that she had died of heart disease,
though I had examined her shortly
before and could find no trace of
cardiac affection.
"Several standard authorities quote
the case of a young English aspirant
who came to the theater on the night
of his debut in a state bordering on
nervous prostration. He was braced
up on brandy and given encourage-
ment by those on the stage with him,
but no sooner had he stepped upon the
stage than he clapped his hand upon
his heart and fell dead. The excite-
ment had ruptured the valves of his
heart, and he had ended his career as
he was about to begin it.
"One curious case was told me not
long ago by one of the physicians at
Bloomingdale. A young man, a mem-
ber of a college dramatic club, was
brought there for treatment. He had
been' cast for a part in the spring
production, and this extra study, add-
ed to the regular studies imposed by
the collegiate course, caused some-
thing to give way. On the occasion
of the dress rehearsal it was found
that he could not remember a line of
his part, and this so worried him that
he broke down and was brought here.
"For several weeks • he could not
speak an intelligent sentence, and.
then suddenly his part came back to
him, and he could go through it, cues
and all, without a break. For another
full week he kept going through the
lines of his part, and then developed a
that one's performance may not be sue•
cessful. This naturally attacks begin-
ners more often than old stagers, and
yet instances are by no means isolated
where death bas been brought about
tbrougb its evils, even in the case of
old timers.
"Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
instance of all was that of the veteran
performer who had gone through 30
years of stage work without experienc-
ing this malady. One night, however,
be confided to a fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
suddenly taken hold of ]lila and that
he did not think he could ever act
again.
White Costumes and White Trim-
mings Icor Other Gowns.
White costumes are still much in evi-
dence. In cloth, serge and crepe de chine
they adapt themselves for autumn wear,
both for in and out of doors.
A novel idea in tailor made gowns is
the combination of pique and cloth, not
merely the use of a pique shirt waist or
vest with a cloth gown or the addition of
removable pique collars, cuffs and revers,
but the employment of stitched bands,
applications and trimmings of pique sew-
ed permanently on the cloth; also the
cloth is sometimes perforated in designs
which reveal pique beneath. The pique
ceived when the poor old player went
on the stage and, after malting several
vatu efforts to speak, fell back and •ex-
pired. The doctor who made the post
mortem examination stated that death

Is usually white, . and the transitory na-
ture of these costumes is too self evident,
to require comment,
Many gowns for autumn and winter

cloth, plain or embroidered. The cloth
employed Is very thin and fine.
The picture illustrates a tailor made
jacket of red cloth. It is tight fitting and
fastens diagonally with two . groups of
crystal buttons. The basque and• revers

sleeves, are bordered with rows of black

' Clear Cut.
The Rev. F. W. Greenstreet furnishes
the London Spectator with an amusing
epitaph. •
When he was curate of Tetbury, Glen-
eesterirhlre fifties the parish
church contained,
the , ained, and no doubt still con-
taint, ° a marble slab near the west door
inscribed as follows:
"In a vault underneath lie several of

ticulara the last day, will disclose,
severe attack of brain fever, from
which he came out perfectly rational,
but, oddly enough, with absolutely no
memory of the lines o1 the play In
question.
"The excitement caused by stage
fright is a most curious thing, and did
the opportunity present, I should like
to write a treatise on the subject, for
it is a fascinating one, but I am kept
too busy patching up the troubles that
exist to write of the troubles which
have existed."
Japan's Spider Plague.
Spiders are a serious plague in Ja-
pan. They spin their webs on the
telegraph wires, and are so numerous
as to cause a serious loss of insula-
tion. Sweeping the wires does little
good, as the spiders begin all over

After taking tho pills, the attacks be-

much fresher and appeared in better

do that an over -ruling power suggests
to mortals all the wise and beneficial
