A Bright Lad, Ten years of age, but who declines to give his name to the public, makes this authorized, confidential statement to us: "When I was oneyear old, my mamma died of consumption. The doctor said that I, too, would soon die, and .all our neighbors thought that even if I did not die, _I would never be able to walk, because I 'was so weak and puny. A gathering fettled and broke under my arm. I hurt my finger and It gathered and threw out pieces of bone. If I hurt myself so as to break the skin, it was sure to become a running sore.

Job's Escape by "the Skin of His Teeth.' Pfromises That Never Die. B10OKLYN, July 29.—Rev. Dr, Talmage has selected as the subject for his sermon tor today through the press "Narrow Es- capes," the text being taken from Job xix, 20, "I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." Job had it hard. What with boils and bereavements and bankruptcy and a fool of a wife he wished he was dead, and I do not blame him. Ma flesh was gone, and his bones were dry. His teeth wasted awlky until nothing but the enamel s emed left. He cries out, "I am escaped with the skin of -my teeth." There has been some differeeee of opin- ion about this passage. St. Oa rome and Schultens and Drs. Good and Poole and Barnes have all tried their 1,kmceps on Job's teeth. You deny my interpretation and say, "What did Job know hout the enamel of the teeth'?" He knew everYthing about it. Dental surgery is almost as old as the earth. The mummies of Egypt, thousands of years old, are found today with gold filling in their teeth. Ovid and Horace and Solomon and Moses wrote about these important factors of the body. To other provoking complaints Job, I 'think, has added an exasperating tooth- acheaand putting his hand against the in- flamed face he says, "I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." A very narrow- escape, you say, for Job's body and soul, but there are thousands of men who make just as narrow escape from their soul. There was a time when the partition between thein and ruin was no thicker than a tooth's enamel, but as Job finally escaped so have they. Thank God! Thank God! Saved as by Fire. • Paul expresses the same idea by a differ- ent figure when he says that some people are "saved as by fire." A vessel at sea is In flames. You go to the stern of the ves- sel. The boats have shoved off. The flames advance. You can endure the heat no longer on your face. You slide down on the side of the vessel and hold on with your givers Until tho forked tongue of the fire begins to lick the back of your hand, and you feel that you must fall, when one of the lifeboats comes back, and tho pas- sengers say they think they have room for one more. The boat swings under you; you drop into it; you are saved. So some men are pursued by temptation until they aro-partially consumed, but after all get off, "saved as by fire." But I like the figure of Job a little better than that of Paul, because the pulpit has' not worn it out, and I want to show you, if God will help, that some men make narrow escape for their seuls and are saved -as "with the skin of their teeth." It is as easy for some people to look to the cross as for you to look to this pulpit. Mild, gentle, tractable, loving, you expect them- to become Christians. You go over to the store and say, "Grandon joined the church yesterday." Your business com- rades say: ``That is just what mighthave been expected. He always was of that turn of mind." In youth this person whom I describe was always good. He never broke things. He never laughed when it was improper to laugh. At4 he oould sit an hour in church perfectly quiet, looking neither to the right hand nor to the left, but straight into the eyes of the minister, as though he understood the whole discussion about the eternal drawees. He never upset things nor lost thein. He floated into the kingdom of God so gradually that it is uncertain just when the matter was decided. ' Here is another one, who started in life with an uncontrollable spirit. He kept the nursery in an uproar. His mother found him walking on the edge of the house roof to see if he could balance him- self. There was no horse he dared not ride; no tree he. could not climb. His boy- hood was a long series of predicaments. His manhood was reckless; his, mid- life very wayward. But now he is con- verted, and you go over .to the store and say, "Arkwright joined. the church yes- terday." Your friends say: `It is not pos- sible.' You must be joking!" You say: "No. I tell you the truth. He joined the church." Then they reply, "There is hope for any of us if old Arkwright has become a Christian!" By the Skin of Your Teeth. In other words, we all admit that it is more difficult for some men to accept the gospel than for others., I may be addressing some who have cut loose from churches and Bibles and Sun- days, and who have at present no inten- tion of becoming Christians themselves, but just to see what is going on, and yet you may find yourself escaping, before you hear the end, as "with the skin of your teeth." I do not expect to waste this hour. I have seen boats go off from Cape May or Long Branch and drop their nets, and after awhile come ashore, pulling in the nets without having caught a single fleh. It was not a good day, or they had not the right kind of a net. But we ex- pect no such excursion today. The water is full of fish; the wind is in the right di- rection; the gospel net is strong. 0' thou who didst help Simon and Andrew to flah, show us today how to oast the net on the right side of the ship! Some of you in coming te Gbd will have to run against skeptical nails. It is use- less for people to say sharp nd cutting things to those who reject the Christian religion. I cannot say such things. By what process of temptation or trial or be- trayal you have come to your present state I know not. There are two gates t� your nature—the gate of the head and the gate of the heart. The gate of your head is locked with bolts and bars that an archan- gel could not break; but the gate of your heart swings easily on its hinges. If I as- saulted your body with weapons, you would meet me with weapons, and it would be sword stroke for sword stroke and wound for wound, and blood for blood, but if I come and knock at the door of your house you open it and give me the hest seat in your parlor. If I should come at you today with an argument, you would answer me with an argument; if with sar- casm, you would answer me with sarcasm, blow for blow, stroke for stroke, but when I come and knock at the door of your heart you open it and atty, "Come in, my brother, and tell me all you know about Christ and heaven." Three Questions. Listen to two or three questions: Are you as happy as you used to be when you believed in the truth of the Christian re- ligion? .Would you like to have your chil- dren travel on in the road in which you are now traveling? You had a relative who professed to be a Christian and was thoroughly consistent, living and dying in the faith of the gospel. Would you not like to live the same quiet life and die the same peaceful death? I received a letter sent me by one who has rejected the Chris- tian religion. It says, "1 am old enough to know that the joys and pleasures of life are evanescent, and to realize the fact that It must be comfortable in old age to believe In something relative to the future and to have a faith in so'me systeni that pro- poses to save. I ani free to confess that I would be happier if I could exercise the eempre and nerarctrut Tann tnas es possessed by many whom I know. I am not willing- ly out of the church or out of the faith, My state of uncertainty is one of unrest. Sometimes I dou.bt my intraortality and leek upon the deathbed as the closing scone, after which there is nothing. What shall I do that I have not done?" Ah, skepticism is a dark and dolefulland! Let me say that this Bible is either true or false. If it be false, wo are as well off as you. If it be true, then which of no is safer? • Let me also aik whether your trouble has; not been that you confounded Christi- anity with the inconsistent character ot some who profess it. You are a lawyer. In your profession there are mean and dishonest men. Is that anything against the law? You are a doctor. There are waskilled and contemptible men in your profession. Is that anything against medi- cine? You are a merchant. There are thieves and defrauders in your business. Is that anything against merchandise? Behold, then, the unfairness of charging upon Christianity the wickedness of its disciples! We admit some of the charges against those who profess " religion. Some of the most eiigantio swindles of the present day have been carried on by mem- bers of the church. There are men in the churches who would not be trusted for $5 without good collateral security. They leave their business dishonesties in the vestibule of the church as they go in and sit at the communion. Having concluded the sacrament, they get up, wipe the wine from their lips, go out and take up their sins where they left off. To serve the devil is their regular work; to serve God, a sort of play spell. With a Sunday sponge they expect to wipe off from their business slate all the past week's inconsistencies. You have no more right to take such a man's life as a specimen of religion than you have to take the twisted irons and split timbers that •lie on the beach at Coney Is- land as a specimen of an American ship. It is time that we drew a line between re- ligion and the frailties of those who pro- fess it, A Righteous Indigni_:;lon. Again, there may be some of you who in the attempt after a Christian life will have to run against powerful passions and appetites. Perhaps it is a disposition to anger that you have to contend against, and perhaps, while in a very serious mood, you hear of something that makes you feel that You must swear or die. I know of a Christian man who was once so exasperat- ed that he said to a mean customer, "I can- not swear at you myself, for I am a mem- ber of tho church, but if you will go dbwn ' stairs; my partner in business will swear atyou." All your good resolutions heretofore have been' torn to tatters by explosions of t 1 breathed pas - le and saddle these ho tempe . Now there is no harm in getting mad i you only get mad at sin. You need to bri sions, and with them ride down injustice and wrong. There are a thousand things in the world that we ought to be mad at. There is no harm in getting redhot if you only bring to the forge that Which needs hammering. A man who has no power of righteous indignation is an imbecile. But be sure it is a righteous indignation and nota petulancy that blurs and unravels and depletes the soul. There is a large class of persons in mid- life who have still in them appetites that were aroused in early manhood, at a time when they prided themselves on being a "little fast," "high livers," "free and easy," "hail fellows well met." They are now paying in compound interest for troubles they collected 20 years ago. Some of you are trying to escape, and you will —yet very narrowly, "as with the skin of your teeth." God and your own soul only know what the struggle is. Omnipotent grace has pulled out many a soul that was deeper in, the mire than you are. They line the beach of heaven—the multitude whom God. has rescued from the thrall of suicidal habits. If yO this day turn your back on the wrong and start ane*, God will help you. Oh, the weakness of hu- man help1Men will sympathize for awhile and then turn you off. If you ask for their pardon, they will give it and say they will try you again; but, felling away again under the power of temptation, they cast you off forever. But God forgives seventy times seven; yea, seven hundred times; yea, though this be the ten thou- sandth time he is more earnest, mom sym- pathetic, more helpful this last time than when you took your first misstep. , If, with all the influences favorable for a right life'men make so many Mistakes, how much harder it is when, for instance, some appetite thrusts itA iron gra,pple into the roots of the tongue and pulls a man down with hands of destruction! If, un- der such circumstances, he break away, there will be DO sport in the undertaking, no holiday enjoyment, but & struggle in which the wrestlers move from side to side and bend and twist and 'watch for. an opportunity to get in n heavier stroke, until with one final nffort, in which the muscles are distentlead, and the veins stand out, and the blob+ starts, the' swarthy habit falls under the knee of the victor— escaped at last as with the skin of his teeth. . A Trial Asked. In the last day it will be found that Hugh Latimer and John Knox and Huss and Ridley were. not the greatest martyrs, but Christian men who weiat up incorrupt from the contaminations and perplexities of Wall street, Water street, Pearl street, Broad street, State street, Third street, Lombard street and the bourse. On earth they were called brokers or stockjobbers, or retailers or importers, but in heaven Christian heroes. No fagots were heaped about their feet, no inquisition demanded from them recantation'no soldier aimed a spike at their heart, but they had men- tal tortures, compared with which all .physical consuming is as the breath of a spring morning. I find in the community a large class of men tvho have- been so cheated, so lied 'about, so outrageously wronged that they have lost faith in everything. In a world where everything seems so topsy tufty they do not see how there can be any God. They are confounded and frenzied ands misanthropic. Elaborate argument to prove to them the truth of Christianity or the truth of anything else touches them nowhere. Hear me, all such men. I preach to you no rounded periods, no or- namental discourse, but I put my hand on your shoulder and invite you into the peace of the gospel. - Here is a rock on which you may stand firm, though the waves dash against it harder than the At- lantic pitching its surf clear above Eddy- stone lighthouse. Do not charge upon God all these troubles of the world. As long• as the world stuck to God God stuck to the world, butihe earth seceded from his government, and hence all these outrages and all these woes. God is good. For many hundreds of years he has been coax- ing the world to come back to him, but the more he has coaxed the more violent have men been in their resistance, and they have stepped back and stepped back until they have dropped into ruin. Try this God, ye who have had the -blood- hounds after you, and who have thought that God had forgotten you. Try him and see if he will not help. Try him and see if he will not pardon. Try him and see if he will not save. The flowers of spring have no bloona so sweet as the flowering of Christ's affections. The sun hath no warmth compared with the glow of his heart. The waters have no refreshment like the fountain that will slake the thirst of thy soul. At the moment the reindeer stands with Ins tip ana nostril thrtuft into the cool mountain torrent the hunter may be coming through the thicket. Without crackling a stick tinder his foot, he COMat close by the stag, aims his gun, draws the trigger, and the poor thing rears in its death agony and falls backward, it antlers crashing on the rocks, but the panting heart that drinks from the water $rooks of God's promise shall never be fatally wounded and shall never die. A Live Frog In a Stone. In Hardwicke's "Science Gossip," issue of Feb. 1, 1867, on page 45, I find the fol- lowing communication from one "Simon Hutchinson under the heading of "A Frog In Onto." Mr.:Hutchinson opens lay beg- ging to submit the following certificate for the oonsideration of all those Who de- light in pondering over curious and unac- countable facts in nature and art. The certificate, or affidavit, is given belOw: "I, William Munton of Waltham, Eng- land, quarryman, hereby certify that I was a witness to the discovery of the stone and frog now before me (in possession of Mr. Simon Hutchinson of Manthorpe Lodge, Grantham), in the stone quarry at Waltham. The frog was found about 10 or 12 feet below the natural surface' in a rock that was perfectly solid, with 4he ex- ception of the cavity occupied by the .frog's body. When - the stone was split open, the frog was seen -to be alive and in size equal to the cavity which his.body had occupied. It continued to live for the space of about 10 days after being released from the stone_ and was afterwaed pre- served in spirits by the late Mr. Stow of Waltham. Before the stone was k)roken by the workman's sledge no crack or crev- ice was anywhere visible. Witneas my hand this 1st day of December, 1866." After giving the abbies Mr. Hutchinson made these comments: "It is not difficult ta imagine that in the ages passed this frog was enveloped in mud, which subse- quently hardened into stone remaining sufficiently porous to admit air and 'mois- ture enough to maintain a torpid exifitenee, That, like the seeds of vegetables turfed enormously deep, remains dormant, until some accident brings them within the in- fluence of moisture and light sufficient to reanimate and develop them. As to the age of the frog in question, I offer no theory or opinion. "—St. Louis Republic. ; Lives In a Darkened Room. , It is quite possible to live the life�f the cloister without going into a convent, for in the very heart of Paris, on the,eunny Boulevard Montmartre, lives a wtoman who has not crossed her threshold for 12 years. The front door of her flat is bolted and outer doors of felt put up, so that no sound from the landing could penetrate. On this door is a placard saying not to ring the bell, as no one was home. e But, to make precaution doubly sure, the bell has been taken away. She has taken the apartments opposite her own, so that no prying eyes could gaze in • on here and. *hen she first secluded herself the con- cierge used to bring up cards of inquiring friends, but she forbade him to raceive them or to answer any inquiries respecting her. Sho writes her orders to her serv- ants, who come and go as they like, and twice a year her income of $20,000 is' paid over to her by a bank messenger, to whom she gives a receipt. Her servants report that she sits always in a darkened room, but they are very reticent about hearfear- ing dismissal. She is now a woman of about 50, and it is reported this odd fife is the result of a disappointment in love. ?Arne. Carnot. The widow of the late President Carnet is the daughter of M.

The London Lancet recently instituted a commission of inquiry for the purpose of determining the nature of the so called malarial fever in tropical Africa. The conclusion arrived at was that malarial fever is the result of an animal parasite invading the body and developing in the blood. Eminent physicians in Flues, h Italy, India and America ave arriv-d at a similar conclusion respecting the: ma- larial diseases which prevail in the 6oun- tries mentioned. Nevertheless there are medical authorities of equal eminence who still maintain that in any intermit- tent fever, as in various forms of malarial disease, there is no parasitic infectitin of any sort, but that the disease is simpl the result of errors in personal hygiene or the effects of chill. Shoes as an Index. Whether or not the coat naakes the man, the shoe indicates the woman. Cloe ob- servers claim they can tell where a wOman belongs and size her up quicker lay her shoes than in any other way. Though a girl or young woman may be unexception- able in every other point of dress, her shbes are likely to "give her away." The well bred, carefully reared girl will always have a neatly clad foot.
