just as appropriate for the

nd from the very heart:of
splendors of other days
have been biought up evidences of •cus-
toms that liar g ago vanished front the
world. Fr m among tombs of those
ages have be n !brought up laChryma-
tortes, Or la hrymals, which are vials
made of ea theuware. - It was the
custom for the ancients to catch the
tears that th wept over their. dead in
a bottle, an to place. that bottle tra the
graves of the., departed ; - we 'have
-many . speci ens of the ancient liach-
rymatories, er tear -bottle, in our mu-
seums. .
When on th wayfromthe Holy Lead
our ship tone ed; at Cyprus, we went
back into the hills of that island and
brought tearehottles, which the natives
had dug out,of the ruins of the old city.
There is nothing more suggestive to me
than the tear- ottles which I brought
home -and- pu1 among my curiosities.
That was the k 'nd of bottle that my text
alludes to, wh n David cries, "Put thou
my tears into t y bottle."
The text intii4uatcs that God has an in-
timate acquain ems -and Perpetual re-
membrance of 11 our griefs, and a vial,
or lachrymator., , or bottle, in • which he
catches and says our tears; arid I bring

Catherine Rheinfeldt, a- Prussian, keeps

to -bringashore at east one soul that may
' now be sinkingin the billows of tempta-
tion and troUble. The tears that were
once caught 'l in , the lachryinatories
brought on Iron Herculaneum and
Pompeii are all jone, and the hatle is as
dry as the scoria of the volcano that sub-
merged them. But not so with the bot-
tle in which God uhers all our tears. •
First, I remark that God ;keeps per-
petually the fears of repentance. Many
a man has awakened in the morning so
wretclied from the night's debauch that'
he has sobbed : and wept. Pains in the .
head, aching.in the eyes, sick at heart, -
and mito, step into the light. He -
grieves, zit about his misdoing, ,but only
?
about the eonsequences. God makes no
record of auCh weeping. Of all the mil-
lion tears that have gushed asthe result -
into God's bottle. They dried on the
of such mi 'demeanor, not -one ever got
fevered ch eked, of were dashed (Iowa .

But when a an is Sorry or liis past and
tries to do b tter—wilien -he mourns his
wasted adv nt tges and bemoans his re-
caion of 0 'd's mercy, and cries amid
the lacerati ns of an -aroused conscience
for help out of his terrible predicament,

down; thensceptres of pardon are ex-

then his teaiL are caught in God's bottle.
You kno‘ the story of Paradise and
the Peri. I think it might be put to
higher adap ion. • An angel starts from
the throne e God to find what thing it
can on the ,e rth worthy of being car-
ried back it heaven. It -goes down
through the gold and silver mines of
earth, but fi ds nothing worthy of trans-
portation to he Celestial 'City. It goes
down throlli h the depths of the sea,
where the ptarls, lie, and finds nothing
worthy of al ing back to heaven. But
comes to the foot of a mountain it sees a
wanderer w eping Over his evil ways.
The tears of the prodigal start, but do
not fallta tie ground, for the angers
wing catche them, aud with dust treas-
ure speeds la ck to heaven. God sees the
angel comi g, and says: "Behold the
brightest ger i of earth and the brightest
• jewel of Ilea en—the 'tear of a sinner's -
repentance." e.
Oh! when 1 see the Heavenly Shepherd

Again: God remembers all the sorrows
of poverty. There is much want that
never comes to inspection. The deacons
of the churches never see it. The cornp-
trollere of almshouses never report it.
It comes not to church, for it has no ap-

unheeded. They are'jewels for heaven's'

I Again, the Lord preserves the remem-
brance of all paternal anxieties. You
See a man from the most infamous sur-
roundings step out into the kingdom of.
God. He has heard no sermon. He has .
received no startling providential warn-
ing. What brought him to th:s new
mind? This is the secret: God looked
ever the bottle in which he gathers the
tears of his people, and he saw a pater-
nal tear in that bottle which has been
for forty years unanswered, He said,
`` Go to, now. and -let me answer that
r tear?" and forthwith the wanderer is
t brought home to God. Oh, this work �f
\
training children for God I It is a tre-
Mendous work. Some people think it
easy. They have never tiled it. A child
is placed in the arms of the young
parent. It is a beautiaul plaything.
You look into the laughing eyes. You
examine the dimp1es-1n the feet. You
wonder at its exquisite organism. Beau-
tiful plaything! But on some nightfak
as you sit rocking that little one, a voice
seems to fall straight from the throne of
god, saying, *'That child is immortal !
. The stars shall die, but that is im-
Mortal ! Suns shall grow old with age
and perish, but tide is an inuraortal !"
; Now know with many of you this is
the chief anxiety. You earnestly wish
your children to grow up rightly, but
vou find it hard work to make them do
a
as you wish. You cheek their temper.
You correct their waywardness; in the
Midnight your pillow is wet with weep-
ing. You have wrestled withGodm
agony for the salvation of your ehadren.
-You ask me if all that anxiety has been
ineffectual. I answer: No. God under-
etands your heart. He understands how
hard you have tried to make that daugh-
ter do right, though she is 60 very petu-
• hint and reckless; and what pains you
fialre bestowed iti teaching that son to

. Again, God keeps a perpetual remem-
brance of all bereavements. These are
the trials that cleave the soul, and throw
the red hearts of meu to be crushed in
the wine -press. Troubles at the store
you may leave at the store. Misrepre-
sentations and abuse of the world you
may leave on the street where you found
them. The law -suit which would swat-
low,your honest accumulations may be

ments are home trbubles, and there is no
escape from them. You will see that

Suggestive picture. You cannot fly the
presence of such ills. You go to Swit-

Sure-footed than the mule that takes you

tip-top, and sit shivering on the glaciers.
1You may cross the seas, but they can
ontsail the swiftest steamer. You may

they follow you like a simoon,

Istalactites from the roof of the great'
'cavern. They stand behind with skel-
"ton fingers to push you ahead. They
'stand before you to throw you back.
. They run upon you like reckless horse-
men. They charge upon you with gleam-
ing spears. They seem to come hap-
hezard, scattering shots from the gun of
a careless sportsman. But not so. It is
good aitn that sends them just right; for
God is the archer, This summer many

eel that, after all. it does not do justice;

faiougn so iong.YOU yourseit have neen a
parent. Now you have done your best
to hide your grief. YOu smile when you
do not feel like it,. But, though you
may deceive the world, God knows. He
looks down upon the empty cradle, upon
the desolated nursery, upon the stricken
home and upon the broken heart, and
says:—."rhis is the way I thrash the
wheat; this is the way I scour my jewels.
Cast thy burden on my arm and I will
sustain you. All those tears I have
gathered in My bottle!"
But what isthe use Of having so many
tears in Cod's lachrymatory? In that
great casket or vase, why does God pre-
serve all youttrbubles? Through all the
ages of eternity, what use of a great col-
lection of 'tears? I do not know that
they will be kept there forever. I do not
know but that in some distant age of
heaven an angel . of God may look into
the bottle and find it as empty of tears
as the lachrymais of eathenware dug up
from the ancient city. Where I:ave the
tears gone to? What sprite of hell hath
-
been invading God's palace, and bath
robbed the lachrymatories? None. These
were sanctified sorrows, and those tears
were changed into '• pearls that are now
set in the crowns and robes Of the
ransomed. I walked upto examine this
heavenly coronet, gleaming brighter than
the sun and 'cry, "-From what river
depths of heaven were those gems gath-
ered ?", and a thousand voices. reply,
"These are transmuted tears from God's
bottle." I see -sceptres of light stretched
down from the throne of , those who on
earth were trod on of men; and in every
sceptre point, and inlaid in every ivory
stair of golden throne, I behold an indes-
cribable richness and lustre, and cry,.
" From whence this streaming light—
these flashing pearls ?" and the voices of
the elders before the throne. and of tee,
martyrs under the altar, 'and of the hun-
dred and forty and four thousand radi-
ant on the glassy sea, exclaim, " Trans-
muted. tears from God's bottle."
Let the ages of heaven roll on—the
story of earth's pomp and pride long ago
ended; the Koh-i-noor diamonds that -
make kings proud, the precious stones
that adoreed Persian tiara and flamed III
the robes of Babylonian processions, for-
gotton; the Golconda mines charred in
the last conflagration; but firm as the
everlasting hills, and pure as the light
that streams from the throne, and bright
as the river that flows from the eternal
rock, shall gleam, shall sparkle, shall
flame for ever these transmuted tears of
God's bottle.
Meanwhile let the empty lachryma-
tory of heaven stand for ever. Let no
hand touch it. Let no wing strike it.
Let- no collision .crack it. Purer than
beryl or chrysoprOueie Let it stand on
the step of Jehovah's throne and under
the area of the unfading rainbow. Pass-
ing down the corridors of the place, the
redeemed of earth shall glance at it, and
think of all the ea l tidy troubles from
which they were delivered, and say,
each to each, "That is what we heard of
on earth." "That is what the Psalmist
spoke a" "There once were put our
tear." "That is God's bottle." And
while etanding there inspecting this
richest inlaid vase of heaven, the towers
of the palace dome strike up this silvery
chime:—"God hath Wiped away all tears
from all faces. Wherefore . comfort one
another with these words." .
CORDITE DISPLACES GUNPOWDER,
Its Propelling Force Fottnd Far Greater
- by British Tests.
it would seem that the days of gun
powder as a charge for naval guns are
numbered. Some experiments juet con-
cluded at the Government proof butts
Woolwich, appear to prove a decided
superiority fin' cordite. A six-inch
quick -firing gun was loaded with 29
pounds 12 ounces of the ordinary black
gun powder, and yielded a velocity of
189 feet per second. with a pressure
strain on the gun of 15 tons per square
inch. The same gun was charged
ith 14 pounds, 3 ounces of cordite,
and gave a velocity of 2,247 feet per
second and a presseire- of. 15.2 tons.
More important Stille after 250 rounds
had been fired there were no signs of
erosion.
The new substance is manufactured at
the Government Powder Mills, Waltham
Abbey. and contains 58 per cent. nitro-
glycerine,- 37 gun cotton and 5 mineral
telly.. The velocity of the shot along
the bore of the six-inch gun. is calculated
to the millionth of a second from the
first moment of being set hs motion.
Minute as this may appear, Lieutenant
H. Watkin, R. A. , has invented an in-
strument which will, it is said, measure
fractions of time to the nine -billionth
part of a second!
About 50 of :the six-inch quick -firing
guns have been supplied to the navy,
and the authorities at the royal gun fac-
tories have commenced the manufacture
of larger grins of the same pattern, with
a velrity of 1300 miles per hour. They
will not only carry a shct over the high-
est niountain in Europe (Mount Blanc),
but 5482 feet above it, and will fire so
rapidly as to project five or six Shots in
the air at one time.—London Telegraph,
Crystallizing Flowers. .
A writer in Po mlar Science News re-
marks that the srocess of crystallizing
-flowers is simple and can be satisfactor-
ily aceomplished by any one Who has
artistic skill.
• Arrange some basket forms of any de-
sired pattern with pliable copper wire
and wrap them with gauze. Into' -these
tie to the bottom ',v;olets, ferns, geranium
leaves—in fact, any tioe•ers except full-
blown roses -,-and sink them in a solution
of lalum of one pound to - a gallon of
water.
Wait until the solution has cooled, as
the colors will then be preserved in
their original beauty, and the crystal-
lized alum will hold them faster than
when formed in a hot solution,
When you have a light covering of
crystals that completely envelope the
articles, remove carefully and allow it
to drip for twelve hours. These baskets
make unique prna ment and. long pre-
serve their freshness.
