THE *ILLS OF HEAVEN,
DR. TALMAGE CONTINUES HIS SER-
MONS ON GOD EVERYWHERE.
The Foundation of the Wall of the 0147
Were Garnished With Precious. Stones—
Heaven a Placa of All Celors—The Place
of Sapphires, .
BROOKLYN, January 22.—Dr. Talmage
returned from his Southern tour of preach-
ing and lecturing for ten days in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolina, and resumed his course of sermons
on "God Everywhere." Having preached
on "The Astronomy of the Bible, or Goa
Among the Stars," "The Chronology of the
Bible, or God Among the Centuries," "The
Ornithology of the Bible, or God Among
the Birds," he to -day speaks of "The Pre-
cious Stones of the - Bible, or God Among
the Amethysts." Subject: "The Wall of
Heaven." Text: Revelation a, 19: "The
foundations at the wall of the city were
garnished with all manner of precious
stones."
Shall I be frank and tell you what are
my designs on you to -day ? They are to
make you homesick for heaven; to console
you concerning your departed Christian
friends by giving you some idea of the
brllliancy of the scenes in which they now
cofnmingle ; to give all who love the Lord
a more elevated idea as to where they are
going to pass the moit of the years ot their
existence and to set all the indifferent and
neglectful to quick and immediate prepara-
tion, that they may have it likewise. Yea,
it -is to induce many of our young people to
study a volume of God that few ever open,
but, without some acquaintance with which
it is impossible to understand the Bible -
1 mean the precious stones; their crystalli-
zation, their powers of refraction, their
cleavage, their fracture, their lustre, their
phosphorescance, their transparency, their
infinity of color and shape, and what they
had to do with the welfare and doom of
families and the destiny of nations;' aye,
the positive revelation they make of God
himself.
My text stands us in the presence of the
most stupendous splendor of the universe,
and that is the wall of heaven, and says
of its foundations that they are garnished
with all manner of precious stones. All
the ancient cities had walls for safety, and
heaven has a wall for everlasting safety.
You may say that a wail made up of all
manner of precious stones is figurative, but
you cannot understand the force and sig.
nificance of the figure unless you know
something about the real structure, and
color, and value.- of the precious stones
mentioned. Now, I propose this morning,
so far as the Lord may help me, to attempt
to clim. not the wall of heaven, but the
foundations of the wall, and I ask you to
join m in the attempt to scale some of the
heights. We shall only get part of the way
up, buf; better that that t� stay down on
the stupid level where the most of us have
all eur:i lives been standing. We begin
clear clown at the bottom, and where the
wall begins.
• , The fitst layer of the foundation, reach-
ing all filounh the city and for fifteen hun-
dred niiles, is a layer of jasper. Indeed
there is :More of jasper in tho wall of heaven
than of hay other brillant, because it not
only corhposes a part of the foundation but
makes iiip the chief part of the superstruc-
ture. The jasper is a congregation of many
colors. i it is brown; it is yellow; it is
green ; 4 is vermillion •' it is red; it is
-purple; is blank ; andis so striped With
colors that much of it ds called ribbon -jas-
per. It,is found in Siberia and Egypt, but
it is rar4 in most lands and of great value,
for it is to hard the ordinary processes can.
break it off from the pieces where it has
been deposited. The workmen bore holes ,
into the lock of jasper; then,driva into these
holes sticks of dry birch wood, and then
saturate ilte sticks and keep them satur-
ated unt 1 they !4wel1 enough to split the
rock,and,the fragments are brought out and
polished And transported and cut iuto
cameos atid put behind the glass doors of
museums. The portraits of Roinan em-
perors weri cut into it. The finest in-
taglio ever seen is in the Vatican Museum,
the head -4if Minerva in jasper. By divine
arrangemeiit, jasper adorned the breast-
plate of ,,the high priest in the ancient
temple. tut its most significant position
is where itglows and burns and darkens
and brightens and preaches from the lowest
strata of the wall of Heaven. Glad am J.
that the vary first row of stones in the wall
of Heaven is jasper of many colors, and if
you like purple it is purple, and if you
like brown it is brown, and if you like
green it is'green, and if you like ochre.
yellow it is ochre -yellow, and if you like
vermillion it is vermillion, and ;if you like
black it is black. It suggests to me that
Heaven is a,place of. all colors—colors of
opinion, colors of creed,colors of skin,colors
of taste.,
But we .ifit.tht pass up in this inspection
of the fon -dation of the t wall of
heaven, and i.fter leaving the jasper, the
next preeioti8 stone reached is sapphire,
and it swdes around the
hundred miler% All lapidaries ligree in
saying tha0.'the sapphire of the !Bible is
what we call; lapis lazuli. Job i speaks
with emotionof"The Place of SaPphires,"
and God thonkht, so much of this precious
stone that lig4put it in tne breast plate of
the high priClt, commending, "The second
row shall be einerald, a sapphire, and a
diamond." tile sapphire is a blue, but
varies from fi4test hue to deepest ultra-
marine. It i4 lioand a pebble in the rivers
of Ceylon. it. is elsewhere in compact
masses. Perffia, and Thibet, and Burmah,
and New So4th Wales, and North Oar-
lina yield exquisite specimens. Its blue
ye is seen irS -the valley of the Rhine.
After a bart4 of thousands of years
t has boen )4aaght to sight in Egyp-
ian monumehts and Asyrian cylin-
ders. At M4toss and St. Petersburg
and Constantiiiople, I have seen great
asses of this sapphire commonly
called lapis 'The closer you study
its veins, the 411cre enchanting, and I do
lot -wonder thatShe sapphire is called into
he foundation b,i; the wall of heaven. It
lakee a strong,Oone for the foundation,
or it is the hark%st of all materials except
he diamond. Seppliire based on jasper ;

points to it in Rtineletion, and says : "The

hat though our' earth and all its furniture
f mountains and seas and atmosphere is to
ollapse and vanitk, we will throughout all
ternity have ian'torne way kept the most
utiful of eartbkly Appearances, whether
ou take this sapphire of the second layer
is literal or figura§ive, 'Thedeep blue of
ur skies and the deep blue of our sea must,
ot, will not, be forgotten.
If a thousand
ears after the wiirld, has gone to ashes,
ou or I want to t.ecti.11 how the earthly
kies looked in a stainer noon, or the mid-
cean in a calm, wO will have only to look
•t the second rowi,tf the foundation of the
all of heaven. Oh, 1 am so glad that St.
ohn told us about. At lt "The second, sap.

_
verse: orne seeeno, sappmre.-
A step higher and Tod come to chalce-
dony, another laydr in the foundation of
the wall, and running fifteen hundred
miles around the heavenly city. Choice.
deny I Translucent. A divine mixture of
agates and iipahi and cornelians. Striped
with, white and gray. Dashed of p or,
blushing into red and darkening into
purple. Iceland and the Hebrides hold
forth beautiful specimens of chalcedony.
But now we must make a swift ascent
to the top of the foundation wall, for we
cannot minutely examine all the layers,
and so putting one foot on the ehalcedony,
of which we have been speaking, we
spring to the emerald, and we are one-
-third of the way to the top of the foupdaL-
tion, for the fbierth row is emerald. That
I would judge is God's favorite among
gems, because it holds what seems evident
is his favorite color on earth, the green,
since that is the color most widely diffused
across all the earth's continents—the Ts,
the foliage, the every day dress of nat re.
The emerald ! Kings used it as a seal to
stamp -pronunciamentos. The rainbow a-
round the Throne of God is by St. Sohn
compared to it. Conquerors hap consider-
ed it the greatest prize to capture. What
ruthlessness when the soldiers of Pizarro
pounded it with their hammers. Emeralds
have had much to do with the destiny of
Mexico. Five of them were presented by
Cortez to his bride, one of them mit into
the shape of a rose, another into the shape
of a trumpet, another into the shape of a
bell, with tongue of pearl, and this presen-
tation aroused the jealousy of the throne
and caused the consequent downfall of Cor-
tez. But the depths of the sea were de-
corated with those emeralds, for in a ship-
wreck they went down off the coast of
Barbary. Napoleon wore an emerald at
Austerlitz. In the Kremlin Museum at
Moscow there are crowns and sceptres
and outspread miracles of emerald.
Ireland is called the Emerald Isle
not because of its verdure, but because 40
was presented to Henry the Second of
England with an emerald ring. Nero had
a magnifying glass of emerald through which
he looked at the gladiatorial contests
Rome. But, here are fifteen hundred miles
of emerald sweeping around the heavenly
city in one layer.
But upward still, and you put your foot
on a stratum of sardonyx, white and red,
a seeming commingling of snow and fire •
the snow cooling the fire, the fire melting
the snow.
AnotIler climb and you reach the sar-
thus, named after the city of Sardius. An-
other climb and you reach the chrysolite.
A specimen of this, belonging to' Epiph-
anus in the fourth century, was said to be
so brilliant that whatever was put over to
conceal it was shone through, and the
Emperor of China had a specimen that is
described as having such penetrating radi-
ance that it makes the night as bright as
the day.
A higher climb, and you reach the beryl.
Two thousand years ago the Greeks used
this precious stone for engraving purposes.
It was accounted among the royal treasures
of Tyre. The hilt of Murat's sword was
adorned with it. It glows in the Imperial
crown of Great Britain. Luther thought
the beryl of the heavenly wall was tor-
eauoise, Kalisch thought it was chrysolite.
Josephns thought it a. golden -colored jewel:
The wheels of Ezekiel's vision flamed with
beryl, and were a revolving fire. The
beryl appears in six -sided prisms and is
set in seals and intaglios, in neckl;ces and
coronets. It was the joy of ancient
jewelry. It ornamented the affluent with
ear drops. Charlemagne presented it to
his favorites. Beautiful beryl! Exquisitely
shaped beryl! Divinely colored beryl 1It
seems like congealed color. It looks like
frozen fire.
But stop not here. Climb higher and
lyou come to topaz, a bewilderment of
beauty, and named after an island of the
Red Sea.
Climb higher and you come to chry-
soprasus, of greenish -golden hue and hard
as flint.
Climb higher and you reach the jacinth,
named after the flower hyacinth, and of
reddish blue.
Take one more step and you reach the
top, not of the wall, but the top of the
foundations of the wall, and St. John cries
out : "The twelfth, an amethyst !" This
precious stone,- when found in Australia
or India or Europe, stands in columns and
pyramids. For color it is a violet bloom-
ing in stone. For its play of light, for its
deep mysteries of color, for its uses in
Egyptian, an Etruscan, in Roman art it
has been honored. The Greeks thought
this stone a preventative of drunkenness
The Hebrews thought it a source of pleas- .
ant dreams. For all lovers of gems, it is
a subject of admiration of suggestive-
ness. Yes, the word amethyst means
a prevention of drunkenness. Loug
before the New Testament made refer-
ence to the amethyst in the wall
of heaven, the Persiaus thought that cups
made oat of amethyst would hinder any
kind of liquor contained therein from becom-
ing intoxicating. But of all the amet
stine cups from which the ancients dran

some ot its wondrous crystallizations, and
examining some of the frozen- light in its
turquoise, and feeling with your own fin-
ger the hardiness of its sapphire,and shield-
ing, your eyes against the shimmering
brilliance in its beryl, and studying the
fifteen hundred miles of, emerald without
a flaw? Yet all this only the outsidei of
heaven, and the poorest part of the outside;
not the wall itself, but only the foot ef the
wall, for my text says: "The foundation%
of the wall of the city were garnished with.
all manner of precious stones." Oh, get
down your harp, if you can play one. Get
down a palm branch, if you can reaoh one.
Why, it makes us all feel like crying out
with James Montgomery:
Mien shall these eyes thy heaven -built walls
And pearly gates behold?
Oh, my soul If my text shows us only
the outside, what must the inside be?
- REIGN OF KING COTTON.
Why It Became Supreme in the South
Immediately After the War.
Promising as was the industrial advance
of the south prior to the war, it was in its
agriculture that the chief interests of the
people were centered, saysthe Engineering
Magazine. Here was displayed an energy
as great as that which opened up to civili-
zation the vast prairies of the west; here
was a well-rounded growth which neither
the south nor any other part of
the country has been able to duplicate
since the war. Cotton was indeed king,but
it was not such an absolute monarch as it
has been since 1865 nor as grain has been
in the west. Ins:tead of being the main
crop of the south, it was largely a surplus
crop. The south did not then have its
"smokehouse and corn crib in the west"—
this was one of the disasters of the war—
but it produced its own corn, wheat and
bacon. The war changed these conditions.
I) left such universal poverty that men
were compelled to grow cotton alone, be-
cause the crop could be mortgaged before it
was planted for enough at least to secure a
bare living for the planter while he waited
for it to mature. On no other crop could
advances be secured in this way. When the
crop had been gathered and turned over to
the merchant who had been "carrying"
him, and out of its proceeds the debt for
goods bought on credit—including interest
and commissions—had been paid, the far-
mer had nothing left. As the next season
came around he was again compelled to
mortgage his crop in advance to the man to
whom he was already in debt. It was "a
condition and not a theory" that confront-
ed the farmers of the south and necessarily
it has taken years for them to 'gradually
work out of it. Moreover, - the negroes,
"intoxicated with freedom," had many
bard lessons to learn. Whie they had no-
thing in the world on which to start,
they were financially about as well off
as their late masters, for, at least,
they had no debts to encumber them
for years to Icome. Cotton was
the easiest crop for them to cultivate, and
so they all began to grow cotton, buying
western corn and bacon on credit from the
merchant who had a mortgage on their
cotton before the ground was plowed for its
planting. Working on shares—that is
paying a part of the crop for the rent Of
the land they cultivated—and moving about
frequently; they had no inducement to try
to improve the soil. So, while the aggre-
gate acreage annually increased, the total
production of the south's crops fell far
short of the yield per capita between 1860
and 1860.
Wigs for Young Men.
"There are more bald-headed young men
in leading Washington social circles," said
a supplier of hirsute deficiences to a Wash-
ington Herald representative, "than people
would think. But that is because very lit-
tle of it is revealed to the curious glance.
You see, most of the young men grow bald
immediately above the forehead, which
leaves a triangular space, or on the center
of the head. The first place is very easi ly
concealed by a patch which looka as natural
as the real thing. These patches are,readi-
ly adjusted and may be dressed in any
- style. They are rather expensive though—
that is, if a man desires something
which will completely baffle the at-
tempts of the suspicious at detection
and cost all the way from $30 to'
$150, according to size and finish.
I could name twenty' young men who
'sport' these patches and whose hair
is universally admired by the fair sex, but
of course I wouldn't. Concerning that
particnlar spot on top of the head in which
the hair is especially fleeting, any number
of men whose ages range between 35 and 40
are so decorated, They do not come so
high as the first -named prices, but are just
as easily adjusted and present the same im-
penetrable finish. There are not many of
the complete wigs sold, like there were fif-
teen or twenty years ago. In fact, it is
hard to get a wig which does not give itself
away, and this is worse than thin hair or
balthress. What is the color most in vogue
concerning wigs? Why? I guess dark
brown is che most popular. Most men have
that color of hair.. Black -haired and ex-
tremely light haired men seldom become
bald at any early age; when they do it is
generally on the center of the heal',"
not one had any such result of prevention.
For thousands of years the world has been
looking in vain for such a preventive
amethystine cup. Staggering Noah could
not find it. Convivial Ahasuerus driving
V.ashti. from the gates could not find it.
Tsabal breaking the heart of beautiful
Abigail could not find it. Belshazzer, the
kingly reveller'on the night that the
Chaldeans took Babylon, could not find it.
Not one of the millions of inebriates whose
skulls pave the continents and pave the
depths of the sea could find it. There
is no such cup. Strong drink from
hollowed amethyst imbrutes the same
as strong drink from pewter mug. It
is not the style of cup we drink out of,
but that which the cup contains which de-
cides the helpftfl or damning result of the
beverage.
But, some one will say, why have you
brought us to this amethyst, the top row
of the foundation of the heavenly wall, if
you are not able to accept the theory of the
ancient Greeks, who said that the amethyst
was a charm against intoxication. or if you
are uot willing to accept the theory of the
ancient Hebrews that the amethyst was a
producer of pleasant dreams? My answer
is, I have brought you to the top row, the
twelth layer of the- foundation of the
heavenly wall of fifteen hundreds miles of
circling amethyst, to put out in a position
where yon can get a new idea of heaven; to
let you see that after you have climbed up
twelve strata of glory you are only at the
base of the eternal groodeurs ; to let you,
with enchantment of soul, look far down
and look far up, and to force upon you the
conclusion that if all our climbing has only
shown us the foundation of the wall, what
must the wall itself be ; and if this is the
outside of heaven'3vhat niust the inside be;
and if all this is figurative, what must the
reality be? Oh, this piled -up magnificence
of the heavenly wall 1 Oh, this eternity
of decoration! Oh, this opalescent, fiores.
cent prismatic miracle of architecture
What enthronement of all colors! A
mingling of the blue of skies, and the surf
of seas and the green of meadows, and the

fire of August sunsets. All the splendors
of earth and heaven dashed into those
twelve rows of foundation wall. All that,

glories th;tt roll over heaven like the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans swing in cnc

" The Popular Winter Rat.
Russian toques and the large picturesque
felt hats vie with each other in the race for
popularity. The former are certainly smart
and seasonable, but the most faces are im-
proved by the framing affordecl by a wide
carved brim. The large hats look stylish =
in delicate shades of vieux bieu and vieux
rose trimmed with black or brown velvet
and the inev.itable upstanding plumes. The
bows ar6;genera1ly rough -edged and the end
is caught down with tiny fancy pins. An
uncommon French hat has a somewhat nar-
row brim of very dark purple velvet and a
loose Tam o'Shanter crown of white velvet
embroidered with tiny gold beads. A
twist of orange velour runs round the hat,
finished off with a choux bow at the side,
above which is plac,pd a dark wing flecked
with yellow. This 'is only one example of
the favorite mixture in millinery of three
shades. A black velvet hat looks very
quaint with rosettes of pale blue and pale
pink velvet placed just beneath the plumes.
i3onnets, except they are 1830 in style, are
exceptionally small, and by no means liygi-
ene for the present inclement weather. A
particularly nattlione was of golden brown
Velvet, Marie Stuart shape, the brim out-
lined by a narrow bordering of brown fur,
whilst purehed right in front was a cluster
of frosted Neapolitan violets.
House in a pottle.-A Blind Boy's
Invention.
Some years ago a blind boy residing in
Chicago constructed e miniature house W-
eide en ordinary four ounce bottle. The
building was made up of 40 pieces of wood,
all neatly fitted and glued together. As
wonderful as this may seem, it is only a part
of the wonders of this sightless lad. After
completing the house and giviug it " finish-.
irg touches" to his heart's content, he set
about fastenivg the cork in the bottle, but
how he accomplished this startling feat is a
myttery to this day. Inside the bottle, be-
low the neck, a small wooden peg is driven
through the cork, the ends of the peg ex-
tending far enough on either side to prevent
the cork being removed from the bottle
without its lower end being torn off. The
bey himself is unable to explain how he ac-
complished this last and mott astonishing
piece of handiwork.
