Genesis Mi., 10: ''And God opened her eyes and pIip saw a well of water; and i-he went and tilled the hot lie lth water and .tve Uio hid drink." I'he preacher ald: Morning bleak upon l!ceiheba. There Is mi early stir In the lioue of old Abraham. There lias been trouble anion); the domestics. Hauar, an asistaut In the household, and her son, a hrisk lad of 10 years, have become Im pudent and Insolent, and S.ir.ih, the mistress of the household, puts her foot down very hard and pais that they will have to leave the pre tn Nc. They arc packing up now. Abra ham, knowing that the journey before his servant and her son will be very lung and across desolate places, In the kindness of his heait sets about putting up some bread and a bottle with Mater in it. It Is avert plain lunch that Abraham provides, but I warrant you there would have been enough of It had they not lost their way. iiui.iu as tint t.oxo jih uxi-.v. ' God be with 3011!" said old Abiaham, as bo cave the lunch to Hagar, and a good many charges as to how she should conduct the journey. Islunael, the boy, I suppose, hounded aw at In the morning light. Hoys nltv.it s like a change. 1' oor Ishiiiael! He has no idea of (he disasters that are ahead of him. llagar gives one long, lingering look on the familiar place where she hud spent so many happy dav, each scene associated vvllh the pride and jo of her heart, toung Islunael. I'lie scorching' noon comes on. The air Is stilllmg and moves across the desert with In stiifcralile sull'oeatlon. Islunael, the lov, be gins io complain and lies down, but llagar rotise him up, sating nothing about her own weannessor the sweltering heat; for mot hem can cndiue anything. Trudge- tiudgn trudge. Croslng the dead level ot the desert, how wearily and slowly the miles slip! A tam arind thai seemed hour.- ago to stand oidj just a little alie:id inviting Ihe travelers lo'eome und. r its shadow, now U as far oil as ever, or seemingly so. Might drops upon the desert mat the traveleis are pillow less. Islunael, very Heart, I suppo-c, Instant iv falls asleep, lla gar - us I lie shadows ol night In gin to lap over each oth r- llagar hugs her ttenrv boy to her bosom and thinks of the fact tlia't it Is her fault that thev ure in the desert. A star looks uit and 1 ver fallimrtear It kisses with a spar kle. A wing of wind comes over the hot earth and lilt-the locks fioiu the fevered brow of tin- boy. Jliiunr sleeps fit I nil v, ami in her iii'.ani-. lintels oyer the ' tvearv day, and half wakes her son bv crying out 111 her seep: "Islunael! Islunael 1" i.ovi in Tin: ii:-i:in's wastes. And so tliev no on, day alter day and night after night, lo they have lost their way. No pith In the shifting sand; nosign In tin-burn-in k. The suck empty of the flour, the wait 1 g fiom the bottle. What shall she d.. a-, she imtx herfiuntiug Islunael under a s tinted shrub of the aiiil pmnt, she scr- the Mood-shot eve, and fe-ls the hot hand, and tiauhrs ihe iilood buihtuii,- from the cracked ! igU", and there is a shriek iu tho desert of l'e, rh ba: "We shall die ! We shall die!" Nitv. no mother was rvi r made strong enough to hear her son cry In vain for a drink. Here tofore she had cheered tier boy by promising a speedy end of the jiairnet, nud even smiled upon him when he felt desperately eiillogh. Mow there Is nolhliitr to do but i.laee linn mi ller a shrub and let him die. She had thuuirht that she would sit theie and watch until Him snliit of her boy would go awav forever, and then sho would bieathe out her own life on Ids silent heart; but as the buy begins to duty his tongue In gon of Ihlrsl. and sti tingle in ,11a loition, and hegs his mother to slav him. she can not endure the spectacle. rt!:e puts him uuiier a smiin, and goes oir 11 bow-shot, mid le.'lns to ween until all the 1len1.1i mug, anil licr cry strikes clear through the heavens; and an iiiurel of d'od come nut in n cloud, and looks iiown ihhi llin iiipalllng gnei anu cries; -jiiigar, wnal alleth tliecl" niie iooks up aim sue sees the angel pointing to a well of water, where she libit th hntil,. lor iuu inu. 1111111K lion; i lian! tiod 1 i ivniNu t.Mi iii:i:rii, i-j.ai i:h.

H hen wo come Into the woil I there U always a pluceieady for us. A i-larc toady for Abraham. A nlaee for Surah. A place for Jlag.ir. A j'laeoforUhuiaul. A place for )ou and a jiluce for me. Our first duty l to Ibid our sphere; our second is to keep It. We limy be borne Iu a sphere far oil from the one for wh.ck (bid dually intends us. HittuB V. was liorn on the low ground and was a swineherd; (iod called him up to wave a wepter. 1'eigUMiii " ni li e- r'.v days In look ing after slice) ; (iod called him up to 1 io! af ter star and be a sti -i.i. ,d mux tiielloeka of light on the hllliddf of heaven.

There is a woman who was made to fashion a robe, and tonder is one intendr.l to he a queen aud wear It. It seems to tne that In the one case as in the other (iinl appoints the sphere, and the needle Is Just as icspeetable In Ids sight as the scepter. I do 11. t know but that the world would long ago hate been saved If some of the men out of the iiiiinstrv were in it. and some of those who are In It were out of It.

My friends, be not too proud to do anything (iud tells von to do. l'or a lack of the light disposition in this re spect the world is' strewn with wandering 11.1 gars and Ishmaels.

Second Again I Hud Iu this oilcntal scene a lesson of stmpathv with woman when she goes forth trudging" In the desert. What a great change It was for this llagar! There was the tent and all the surroundings of Abra ham's house, beautiful and hmii'laiit. no doubt. Mow she Is going out Into the hot sands of th- desert. (), what a change it was! And iu our day we olieii see the wheel of lor tune turn. Here Is some one who lived In the vert bright home of In r father. She had ev erything possible lo administer to her happi ness plenty at the table, music iu the draw ing 100.11 welcome at I lie door. She Is led forth into life hy some one who can not ap preciate her. A dissipated soul comes and takes her out In t le desert. Cruelties libit out all the lights of that home ciiele. Harsh wonts wear out her sphlts. The high hopes that shone out oter the marriage altar while the ling was being set and the vows given and the benediction pioiioitueed have all faded with the orange blossoms, and there she is to day broken hcaitcd, thinking of past joys and present di-solatlou and coining anguish, llagar In the vt ililerncss ! Here is a beautiful home. You can not think of anything thai can be added to It. l'or years there has not been the -suggestion of a single trouble, llilghl and happ,' children till tlio house w ith lauirhtf r and song. Hooks to read, pictures to look at. lounges to rest on, cup of domestic Joy full and running over.

How often is It we see the weak arm of wo man conserltiled for this battle with the lough world! Who Is she going down the street iu the early light of the inoinlng, pale with ex hausting work, not half slept out Willi the slumbers of last night, tragedies of siiirerlng written all over her face, her lustreless evus look m tr far ahead, as though for the com tig of some ouier uoniiiei ner parents called her Mary, or llertlm, or Arties, 011 the day when they held her up to the lout and the Christian minister sprinkled 011 the infant's face the washings of a holy baptism. Her name is changed now. I hear it hi the shullle of the worn out shoes. I see It hi the llgure of the faded calico. I find ft In the lineaments of tlio woe begone countenance.
