THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 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 ; blue sky over4 fiery sunset. St. John points to it in Rtineletion, and says : "The econd, sapphir4 'r,' and this suggests to me 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.

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 FEBRUATti 1803 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 upholitery of autumnal forests, and the fire of August sunsets. All the splendors of earth and heaven dashed into those twelve rows of foundation wall. All that, mark you only typical of the spiritual glories th;tt roll over heaven like the Atlantic and Pacific oceans swing in cnc billow. you not see that it was impossible that you understand a hundreth part of the suggestiveness of that twenty-first chapter of Revelation without going into some of the particulars of the wall of heaven, and dipping up some of its drip- ping colors. and r- !mine roar eve elarsa " 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.
