Washington, Feb. 27.—In this wintry

this glowing pastoral until we can almost
bear the bleating of the Hooks in green
pastures, Tho text - is Psalms ailii, 1,
"The Lord iii`aty shepherd."
What with post -and rail fences and our
pride in Southdown, Astrakhan and
Flemish varieties of sheep, there is no
use now of the old time shepherd. Such
a one had abundance-. of opportunity of
becoming a poet, being out of doors 12
hours the day, and ofttimeswaking up in
the night on the hills. If the stars or the
torrents or the sun or the flowers had
anything to say, he wen very apt to hear
it. Vie Ettrick Shepherd of Scotland,
who afterward took his seat in the brilli-
ant circle of Wilson and'Lockhart, got

David, the shepherd- boy, is watt

the very hills where afterward a La
was born of which you have heard
"the Lamb of God, which taketh a

to think of the time when he 'ten

cries out in the text, "The Lord is m

If God will help me, I will talk to y
of the shepherd's plaid, the shepherd
crook, the shepherd's dogs, the shepherd
pasture grounds, and the shepherd
flocks. .
The Shepherd's Plaid.
And first the shepherd's plaid. It
would be preposterous for a man going
out to rough and besoiling work to put
n splendid apparel. The potter does not
work in velvet. The servant maid does
of put on satin while tolling at her
duties. The shepherd Goes not wear a
plendid robe in which to go outamid the
forms, and the rocks and the nettles;
o puts on the rough apparel appropriate
o his exposed work. The Lord our Shep

and I will put them under Colonel Joy.
Then I will gather all , your sorrows to
gether in one regiment of ten companies
and put them under Colonel Breakheart.
Then I will ask, Which of these regi-
ments bat galped for you the greater
spiritual victories? Certainly that under
In the time of war, you may remember
at the south andenorth, the question was
whether the black troops would fight, but
when they were put into the struggle on
both sides they did heroically. In the
great day of eternity it will be found that
it was not the white regiment of joys that
gained your greatest successes, but the
black troops of trouble, misfortune and
disaster. Where.you have gained one spir-
itual success frem your prosperity, you
have gained ten spiritual successes from
your adversity.
- There is no animal that- struggles more
violently than a sheep when you corner it
and catch hold of it. Down- in the glen
see it group of /nen around a lost sheep.
A plowman comes along and seizes the
tiheep and trios to pacify it, but it is More
frightened than ever. A miller comet"
along, puts down his grist and caresses
the sheep, and it seems as it it would die
of fright. After awhile some one breaks
through the thicket. He says, "Let me
bave the poor thing." He comes up and
lays his arms around the sheep and it is
immediately quiet. Who is the last man
that coines? It is the shepherd. Alo iny
frieuds, be not afraid of the shepherd's
crook! -It is never used on you save in
inertly, to pull you back. The hard, cold
iceberg of trouble will melt in the warm
gulf stream of divine sympathy.
There le One passage I think you mis-
interpret, "The bruised reed he will not
break." Do pm koow that the shepherd
in olden times 'played upon these reeds?
They were vet* easilY bruleed, but when
-they mere broiled they were never mend-
ed. The shepherd could so easilt make
another one, he would snap the old one
and throw it away and get another. The
Bible says tt is not so with our Shepherd.
When the music is gone out of a man's
soul, God does not snap bine in twain
and throw bim away. He mends and
restores. "The bruised reed he will not*
break."

The Shepherd's Dogs.
Neit I speak of the shepherd's doge.
They watch the straying sheep and- drive
them back again. Every shepherd has his
deg.—from the nomads of the Bible times
down to the Scotch herdsman watching
• Shepherd employs the criticisms and per-
seoutions of the world as his dogs. There
0 are those, you. know, whose work it is to
° watch the inconsistencies of .Christians
t and bark at them. If one of.Godie sheep
d gets astray,the world hovels. With more
0 avidity than a shopherd's dog ever caught
- a stray sheep by the flanks or lugged it
s by the ears worldlings seize the Christian
astray. It ought to do us good to know
e that we are thus watched. It ought to
n put us on Our guard. They cannot bite
us, if we stay near the Shepherd. The
sharp knife of worldly assault will only
triin the vines until they produce better
grapes. The more you pound rciarjoram
and rosemary, the sweeter they smell.
The more dogs take after you, the quicker
you will get to the gate.
You have noticed that different flocks
of sheep have different marks upon them;
sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue
mark, sometimes a straight mark and
eometimes a crooked mark. The Lord our
Shepherd has a mark for his sheep. It is
a red mark—the mark of the cross.
"Blessed are they that are persecuted for
righteousness' sake, for theirs is the king-
dom of heaven."
Furthermore, consider the shepherds'
pasture grounds. The old shepherds used
to take the sheep upon the, mountains in
the summer and dwell in the valleys in
the winter. The sheep being out of doors
perpetually, their wool was better than if
they had been kept in the hot atmosphere
or the sheep cot. Wells were dug for the
sheep and covered with large stones, in
order that the hot weather might not
spoil the water. And then the sheetherd
. led his flock wherever he would; nobodtr
disputed his right So the Lord our Shtp-
- herd has a large pasture ground. He
takes us in the summer to the motintains
and in the winter to the valleye. 'Warm
days of prosperity come and we stand on
sun gilt Sabbaths, and on hMs of- trans-
figuration, and wo are so high up we can
catch a glimpse of the pinnacles of the
heavenly city. Tben cold, wintry days of
trouble come, and we go down -into the

the Lord'e sheep eau find pesture any-
where. tietween two rocks of trouble a
tuft of succulent promises; green pastures
beside still waters; long, sweet grass
hetween hitter graves. You have noticed
the strtioture of the sheep's mouth? It is
so sharp that it can take' up e blade of
grass or clover top from the very narrow-
est spot. And so God's sheep can pick up
comfort where others can gather none.

The Shepherd's Crook.
Next I mention the shepherd's crook.
This was a rod with a curve at the end,
which when a sheep was going astray was
thrown over its neck and in that way it
was pulled back. When the sheep were
not going astray, the shepherd would
often use it as a sort of crutch, leaning
on it, but when the sheep were out of
tho way the crook was always busy pull-
ing thorn back. All we, like sheep, have
gone astray, and bad it not been for tbe
shephord's crook we would have fallen
long ago over tho precipices.

The Joy of Victory.
In, June, 1815, there was a very noble
party gathered in a house in St. James'
square, London. The prince regent was,
present,and the occasion was made fascin-
ating by music and banqueting and by
jewels. While a quadrille was being
formed, suddenly all the people rushed to
the windows. What is the matter? Henry
Percy bad arrived with the news that
Waterloo bad been tought and that Eng-
land bad won the day. The dance was
abandoned, the party dispersed, lords,
ladies and musicians rushed into the
street, and in 15 minutes from the first
announcement of the good news the house
was emptied of all its guests, 'Oh, ye who
aro seatedatt the bauquet of this world
or whirling in its gayeties and frivolities,
if you could hear the sweet strains of the
gospel trumpet announcing Christ's vic-
tory over sin and death and hell, you
would rush forth, glad in the eternal de-
liverance! The Waterloo against sin has
been fought, and our Commander -in-

How to Make a Good Liniment.
Two, eggs beaten separately; to the
yolks add half a pint'of good cider vine-
gar, half a pint of turpentine and a largo
tablespoonful of fine salt, adding the
whites of the eggs last. The best way to
use it is to wet a wool flannel cloth and
apply. If it is not convenient to we the
cloth, then bathe frequently with the
liniment. Always shake the bottle well
before using. It is good for sprains or
bruises, exteinal or internal; for oramps,
croup, indigestion and that pain in the

runner of pneumonia. It cures toothache

the next morning, and I e dined tears
and reproaches until we we e settled in
Berlin and the German office s effected a
cure. We were visiting Baro de M. and
his wife and we all kept harp watoh
upon the men who flocked to the house.
But one day the maid ea its to me it

ning to elope that night with the Baron's

that, and I cabled to the girl's fathet,
breaking my agreement, and asking
whether I should take his datighter home.
He answered that he would come for her,
and we went to Nice to wait for him.
The night before he was arrive we
went to bed early. He cam at 6 in the
xnorning, went to her room, and found
a note beginning: 'Dearest apa: When
you read this I'll be the hap lest of girls

with no redeeming feature sa e a pair of

Oh, he swore eloquently, but he forgave
her, and he certainly behaved royally in
regard to me."
Another chaperon tells of an experience
she had with RiX girls when traveling in
Italy. One of them got the easles and
the keeper -of the inn where they were
staying thought the young N oman had
smallpox and told the party hey would
have to leave his hotel. T e chaperon

One of the great troubles in I chaperon-
ing is that no two of the party ever want
to do the same thing and it takes a great
deal of patience to arrange matters satis-
faotorily. Notwithstanding the 'inconveni-
ences, however, many a wontan would
never g(10 Europe if she didn't go as a
chaperon, and many girls Would be
obliged to remain at home if it wore not
