Dr. Talmage Sees in the Forest an Example of Hope for the Una fortunate and Harassed of the World—A Lesson Frorn'the Life of David. Washington Oct, 2,—The Talmage, drawing his %linstrations from a deer bunt, in this aiscourse cane ell the Per' sued an troubled of the earth to corns awl slake their thirst at the deep rivez sea, of divirm comfort; text, Psalms alii, ld '4As the hart paateth after the watee baeo,hn se Paateth iny soul atter thee, 0 God," A DAVId, W110 lAtiSt SIMI VIM* haVO ge a, deer bunt, Points us here to a hunted stag making Or the water.

Iseleb compares the eprightliness o thevestored cripple of milleunial times to the long mad gni* jump ot the stag, wing, "The lame shall leap as the bart." Selonans expreesed his iffsgust st a aunt, er who, baying shot a deer, le too lazy to cook it, eaying, "Tlesiesietaltul man Met- eth not that whicii he took M Ituntleg." But one day David, wbile far from the borne from winch be bad been driven, and sitting Dear the mouth ot a lonely cave whore he bed lodged, and 011 the beaks of a pond or elver, bear4 apaok ot hounds M swift pursuit, Beeauie of the previous silence of the forest tbe drawer startles him, and he says to Mineola "I I wonder what tbose dogs are after," Then . there is a eravkling in the brushwood, ' and the laud breathing of eome reshing ' wonder of tbe woods and the antlers of a deer rend the leaves of the thicket and by ati instinct Which all liuntere recognize the creature plungeinto a pool or lake or elver to coal its thiret and at to Cline time by its capacity for swifter and long- er swimming to get away front the foam- ing harriers. David says to himself: Aba„ that le -myself! Saul after rue, 1 Absalom after me, enemieff without number after me; I am chased; thee bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking titter any body, barking titter my soul. Ob, the hounde, the hounds! But look there," says David to lainaself; "that reindeer has splashed ' into the water.

Oh, that I might find in the deep, • t wide lake of God's mercy and consolation escape from any nursuersi Oh, for the waters of life and rescue' 'As the hart ' panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 God.' " The Adirondacks are now populous , wItb bunters, and tbe deer are being slain by the score, Talking one summer with a hunter, 1 tbouigh6 I would like to see whether my text was accurate in Its allusion, and as I beard the dogs baying a little way off and supposed they were p on the track 0 a deer, I said to ono of the hunters in rougb corduroy, "Do the deer always make for water when they are pursued?' Be said: "Ob, yes, mister. You see they area bot and thirsty animal , and they know wbere the water is, and when they hear danger in the distance they lift their antlers and sniff the breeze and start for the Baguet or Loon or Saranac, and we get into our cedar shell boat or stand by the 'runaway' with rifle loaded and ready to blaze away." Bible Allusions True to Nature. t . My friends, that is one reason why I like the Bible so much—its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, its ostriches real ostriches and its reindeer real reindeer. I do not , Wonder that this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter's eye sparkle and his cheek glow and bis respiration quick- ; en. To say nothing of its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, its flesh delicious, its skin turned into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into bowstrings, its antlers putting , bandies on cutlery and the shavings of ' its horn used as a pungent restorative, ' the name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. But putting aside its useful- , nese, this enohanting creature seems , made out of gracefulness and elasticity. , What an eye, with a liquid brightness as • if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset! The horns, a aorenal branching into every possilile curve, and after it seems complete ascending into other pro- jections of exquisiteness, a tree of polish- ed bone, uplifted in pride or invung down for awful combat. The hart is velocity embodied ; timidity impersonated; the enchantment of the woods. Its eye lustrous in life and pathetio in death. Deer at Bay. " Well, now, let all those who have earning after them the lean hounds of poverty, or the blaelt hounds of nersecu• thin, or the spotted bounds of v icissi. tuda or the pale hounds of death, or who p.re in any wise persued, run to the wide, deep glorious lake of divine solace and reseue. The most of the men and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after thena, sharp muzzled traubies, swift trSubles, all devouring trouble3. Many of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Solne. body meanly attacked you, and you attacked them. They depreciated you, you depreciated themor they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall 'street parlance to get a °orrice on them, " or you have bad a bereavenaent, and, ' instead of being submissive, you are , fighting that bereavement. You charge on the doctors who filed to effect a cure, or you charge on the carelessness of the railroad company through which the • accident eccurred, or you are a chronic ; invalid, ante you fret and worry and scold , and wouder why you r3annot be well like , other people, and you angellY blame the neuralgia, or the laryng' itis or the ague, or the sick headeche. The feet is you are a deer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of divine consolation ani slaking your thirst and 000liag your body and soul in the good cheer of the gospel and swimming •away inn) the mighty deeps of God's love you are lighting a whole kennel of barriers. I OW 111 the Adiroedacks a dog lying across the road, and he seemed unable to get up, and I said to some hunters near by. "What is the matter with that doge" They Answered, "A deer hurt him." Aria I saw be had a greet swollen paw and a battered bead, showing where the antlers struek hiut.

Ida not blame you. Probably under the Ramo oireumstances I would have done worse. But you are all wrong. Yon need to do as the vein - door does in Februarv and Ilarch—it sheds its horns. The rabbinical writers allueo to this resignation ce antlers by She stag when they say of a MAU who Ventures his money in risky enterprises he bag hong it et the stag's horns, and a proverb in the far east tells a man who hag foolishly lost his fortune to go and line it where the deer sheds her horns. My brother, quit the antagonism of your circumstances, quit vaisanthrophy, quit conuelaint, quit pitching into your per - suers; be as wise as next spring win be all tbe doer of the Aciiroriattoks. Shed your horns, But very many of you who are wrong ed ef the world—aud if in any assem bly between here and Golden Gate, San Francisco, it were asked that all those that had been somenmes badly treated should raise both their hands and full re- noese sbould be made, there would be twice as many hands lifted as persons pteseut—I say many of you would de- clare, "We have always done the best we could and tried to be useful, and why we should become the victims of malign - anent or invalidism or mishap is inscrut- able," Why, do you know the finer a deer and the more elegant its nroportions and the more beautiful its bearing the inore anxious the hunters and the hounds are to capture it? Had the roebuck a zagged fur and broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and a limping gait the hunters would have said, "Pehaw, don't let us waste our ammunition on a sick deer." And the hounds would hare given a few sniffs of the scent, and then darted ofe in another dirootion for better game. But when they see a deer with antlers lifted in mighty challenge to earth and sky, and the sleek bide leaks as if il had been smoothed by invisible bands, and the fat sides inclose the richest pasture that could be nibbled from the banks of rills so clear they seem to have dropped out of heaven, and the stamp of its foot defies the jtiolt shooting lantern and the rifle, the horn and tbe hound, that deer they will have if they meet needs break their nooks in the rapids, "So if there were no noble stuff in your make up, if you were a bifurcated nothing, if you were o forloro failure, you would be allowed to go -undisturbed, but the Mot that the whole pack is in full ay after you is proof positive that you are splendid garae and worth capturing. Therefore sarcasm draws on you its "finest bead." Therefore the world goes gunning for you with its best Maynard breechloader. Highest compliment is it to your talent, or your virtue, or your usefulness. You will be assailed in propartion to your great achievements. The best and the mightiest being the world ever saw had Sob after him all the hounds, terrestrial and diabolio, and they lapped his blood • after the Calvarean massacre. The world paid nothing to its Redeemer but 4 bramble, four spikes and a cross. Many •who have done their best to make the world better have had such a rough time of it that all their pleasure is in anticipation of the next world, and they could express their own feelings in the words of the Baroness of Nairn at the close of her long life, when asked if she would like to live her life over again: Would you be young again, • So would not I; One tear of memory given, Onward I'll hie; Lifelf a dark wave forded o'er, All but at rest on shore, Say, would you plunge once more, Veith home so nigh?

Tait third son took the Vase of clay and, arming It, found It empte, but on the bottom of it was in, seethed the Bathe of God. Zing Nimrod asked his courtiera which vase then thought weighed the most, The tavern claw men of bis court said tbe 'vase 0 gold. The poets seta the one of amber. But the Wisest men said tbe empty vete, because one letter of the name of God oueweighed a universe, • The World Too uncertain, For bile I thirst; for his grace I beg; on his promise I build my ail. Without him I cannot be happy. 1 have tried the World, and it does well enough as far as 15 goes, but it is too uncertain a world, too evanescent a world. I am not •a prejudiced Witness, 1 bare nothing against tbis world. I have been one ot tbe most fortunate, or, to use a more Christian word, ono of the most blessed of men—blessed in ray parent, blessed Lo the place of my nativity, blessed in my bealtia bloomed in nay ileld of work, blessed in MY natural tenaperanaenti blessed in my family, blessed in my oppurtunities, blessed in a comfortable livelihood, blessed in the hope that ray soul will go to heaven through the pardoning moray ot God, and my bottle unless It be lost at sea or oretnated in some conflagration, will lie down in the gardens ot Greenwood among my kindred and Mende, some already gone and others to come after me. Life to mann has been a disappointment, but to nie it bas been a pleasant surprise, and yet I dealer° that if I did not feel that God was now my friend and ever present help I should be wretched and terror strioken. But I want 'more of bine. I have thought over eine text and preaohed this sermon to myself until with all the aroused energle3 of my faddy, rnind and soul I can cry out, "As the beet panteth after the water brooks, so panteth iny soul after thee, 0 God." Faith in Adversity. Tiarougb Jesus Christ make this God your God, and you oan withstand any- thing and everything, and that which affriglits others will inspire yore As in time of an earthquake when an old Christian woman was asked whether she was soared, answered, "No; I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world;" or, as in a financial panic, when a Christian merobant ivas 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 " Oh, Christian men and women, pursued of annoyances and exasperations, remember that this hunt, whether a still hunt or a hunt in full cry, will soon be over. It ever a whelp looks ashamed and ready to slink out of sight, it is when in the Adirondacks a deer by oae tremend- ous plunge into Big Tupper lake gets away from him. The disappointed can- ine swims in a little way, but, defeated, swims out again and cringes with humiliated yawn at the feet of his master. And how abasbed and ashamed will all your earthly troubles be when you have dashed into the river from under tbe throne of God, and the heights and depths of beaven are between you and your pursuers. We are told ill Revelation xxii, 15, "Without are dogs," by which I cowhide there is a whole kennel of hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, al when a master goes in through a door, his dog lies on the steps waiting for him to oome outso the troubles of this life may follow us to the shining door, but they cannot get in. 'Wit'hout are dogs!" X have seen dogs and owned dogs that I would not be chagrined to see in the he/wanly city.

A Glorious Rescue. Ob, when some , of you get there it will be like what a hunter tells of when pushing his canoe far up north in winter and amid the ice floes and 100 miles, as he thought, from any other hurnan beings. He was startled one day as I3e heard a stepping on the ice, ani be cocked the rifle ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, bare footed and insane from long exposure, approathing him.

At one time some workmen were busy repairing the track when an luxoate of the asylum approaobed one of the laborers, and from bis position on the inner side of the inclosure, began a Some- wbat personal conversation.

Charles Die -kens, who has opened to view, tbe heart of the Door, wrote: "If ever housettold affections and, loves are graceful things, they are graceful in the poor. The ties that bind the 'wealthy and the proud to barna may be forged in earth, but those which link the poor man to his bumble hearth are of tbe true regal and bear the stamp of Heaven. His household gods are of flesh and blood, with no alloy of silver, gold or precious stories, and when they endear bare floors and walls, despite of toil and scanty meals, that man has his love from God, and his rude but becomes a solemn place."
