Witsh'ington, May 8.--Eev, Dr. Tal-
mage this morning Preached from the
words: "Now Dioses kept the fleck of
Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of
Midian," from Exodus i11, I. fib said;
Di the soulheaetern part of Arabia a
Aran Is sitting by await, 11 is an arid
country, end water Is scarce, so that,a
well is of great value and flocks and
herds are driven vast distances to have
their thirst slaked. Jethro, it Midianite
sheik and priest, was so fortunate as
to; have seven daughters, an.l they are
practical girls, and yonder they come
driving the sheep and euttle and cam-
els of their father to the watering.
They lower the lruoketa and then pull
them up, the water splashing on the
stones and chilling their feet, and the
troughe are filled. Who is that man
oat there sitting unooncerncd and look-
ing on 7 Why does he not some and help
the women in this hard work off draw-
ing ww'ater? But no sooner have the dry
lips and hinting nostrils of the gooks
begun to pool a little iu the brimming
trough of the well than some rough
Bedouin shepherds break in upon the
.,seeuo, and with clubs and shouts drive
back the animals that were drinking
to retreat, and the flocks of these M-
end affright those girls until they fly
in retreat, and the flocks of these ill-
mannered shepherds are driven to the
troughs, (taking the places ofthe other
Docks. Now that man sitting by the
well begine to color up, and his eye
flashes with indignation, and all the
gallantry in his nature is aroused. It
is Moses, who naturally had a quick
temper anyhow, as he demonstrated on
one oecasian when he saw an .Egyptian
oppressing on Israelite and gave the
Egyptian asudden clip and burieclhim
in the sand, and as he showed after-
ward when he broke all the Tenl Com-
mandments at once by shattering the
two granite slabs on which the 10w was
written. But the injustice of this treat-
ment of the seven girls set him, on fire
with wrath, and he takes this shepherd
by Lhe, throat and pushes back another
till he falls over the trough, and, aims
a stunning blow between the eyes of
another as he cries, "Begone, you vil-
linns I" and he hoots and roars at the
sheep and cattle and camels of these
invaders and drives them back. and
having cleared the lace of the desper-
adoes,
p
g.
v.does, he told the seven girls of this
Midianite shells to gather their flocks
together and bring them again to the
watering.
O11, you ought to sea a night between
the shepherds at a well in the orient
as I saw it in December, 1800. There
wore here a (group of rough men who
had driven the cattle many miles and
dere another group who had driven
their cattle us many miles. Who should
have precedence? Such clashing of
baokets1 Such hooking of horns) Such
kicking of hoofs I Such vehemence in a
language I ,fortunately could not un-
derstand I Now the sheep with a pecul-
iar mark across their woolly backs were
at the trough and now the sheep of
another mark. It was one of the most
exciting scenes I ever witnessed. An
old book describes one of these conten-
tions at an eastern well when it says:
"One decoy the poor men, the widows
and the orphans met together andwere
driving their camels and their mocks
tot drink and were all standing hp the
waterside. Daji same up and stopped
them all and took possession of the
water for his master's cattle. Just then
an ofd woman belonging to the tribe
of Abe came up and accosted 'li,iin in a
suppliant manner, saying: "Be so good
Master Daji, as to let my cattle drink.
They are all the property I possess,
and I live by their milk. Pity my flock;
have compassion on me. Grant my re-
quest and let them drink." Then Dame
another old wonlrno and addressed him:
'Oh, Master Daji, I am a poor, weak
o1d woman, es you see. Time has dealt
hardly with me. It has aimed its ar-
rows at me, and its daily ands nightly
calamities leave destroyed all my men.
I have lost my children and my hus-
band, and since then I have been in
that I possess. Let there drink, for .l'•
live on the milk that they produce.
Pity my forlorn elate. I hage no one
to tend them. Therefore grant: my sup-
plication and of thykindnoas let them
great distress. These sheep are all
drink.' But in this ease the brutal
slave, so far from granting this hum-
ble request, smote the woman to the
ground."
A like scrimmage has taken place at
the well in the triangle of Ambito be..

chapter calls up the pedigree of the
people whom Moses was to dello-
liver, and Dioses is ordered to say to
them, "The Lord God of your fath-
