nnooKLTN, June 21. Dr. TalmiiKe's ser
mon thla morning was an appeal to youns
men. Numbers of tlicHQ cotno to tho Tab
crnnclo services, many of them from coun
try homes, wliero they received Christian
training, which, in the temptations of city

hlsBormon "The, Homesick Soul," ami his
text was from tho parablo of the prodigal
Bon, Lake xv. 18. "I will urlao and go to
my father.''
Thero is nothing like hunger to take tho
energy out of a man. A hungry man can
toll neither with pun, uor hand, nor foot
There has been, many an army defeated,
not so much for lack of ammunition as for
lack of bread. It was that fact that took
tho tiro out of this young man of the text
Storm and exposure will wear out any
man's life In time, but hunger makes uuick
work. The most awful cry ever heard on
earth is the cry for bread. A traveler tells
ns that In Asia Minor thero aro trees which
bear fruit looking very much liko tho long
bean of our tlmo. It is called tho carab.
Once in a while tho people reduced to
destitution would eat theso carabs, but
generally tho carabs, the beans spoken of
here in tho text, were thrown only to tho
wine, and thoy crunched them with great
avidity. But this young man of my text
could not even get them without stealing
them. So ouo day amid the swine troughs
ho begins to soliloquize He Hays: "Theso
aro no clothes for a rich mau'a son to wear,
this is no kind of business for a Jew to be
engaged in feeding swine, I'll go home,
I'll go homo, I will arlso and go to my
father."
1 know thero aro a (froat many peoplo
who try to throw a fascination, a romance,
n halo about sin. but notwithstanding all
that Lord Dyron and George Sand hnvo
natd In regard to It It is a mean, low, con
temptible business, nnd putting food and
fodder Into tho troughs of a herd of iniqui
ties that root nnd wallow in the soul of
man Is a very poor business for meu and
women Intended to be sons and daughters
of the Lord Almighty And when this
young man resolved to go homo It was a
very wise thing for hlra to do, and the
only question is whether wo will follow
him.
Sntan promises large wages if we will
botvo him, but he clothes his victims with
rags, and ho pinches them with hunger,
and when they start out to do better ho
Beta after them all tbo bloodhounds of per
dition. Satan come3 to us today and ho
promises all luxuries, all emoluments If
wo will only sorvo mm. war, uown wuu
thco to thu nltl "Tho wages of sin Is
' death." Oh, the young man of tho toxt
was wlso when ho uttered tho resolution,
"I will arlso and go to my father."
lu tho tlmo of Mary tho Persecutor, a
persecutor camo to a Christian woman who
had hlddon in hor houso for tho Jord's
sako one of Christ's servants, and tho per
secutorsald. "Whero Is that heroticf" Tho
Christian woman said, "You open that
trunk, and you will seo tho heretic" Tho
persecutor opened tho trunk, and on tho
top of tho linen of tho trunk ho saw a glass.
Ho faiid, "Thero la no norctiouero." "An,
she said, "you look in tho glass, and you
will seo tho hereticl" As I tako up tho
nllrror of God's word today would that In
stead of seeing tho prodigal son of tho text
wo might seo ourselves our want, our
wandering, our sin, our lost condition so
that wo might bo as wlso as this young
man was, and say, "I will ariso aud go to
my father."
IN EOnilOW ONE LONQS FOK A FATIIKIk
Tho resolution of this text was formed
in disgust at his present circumstances. If
this young man had been by his employer
net to culturlug flowers or tralulug vines
over uu arbor or keeping account of the
pork market or overseeing other laborers
he would not have thought of joint; homo.
It ho bad had his pockets full of money, If
ho had been able to say, "I havo a thousand
dollars now of my own; what's the use of
my going back to my father's tiousot do
you think I am going back to apologize to
tho old man? why ho would put mo on thu
limits; he would not havo going on around
the old place such conduct as I havo been
engaged lu, 1 won't go homo, there is no
reason why 1 should go homo, I havo
plenty of money, plenty of pleasaut stir
rouudlngs, why should I go homer" All!
it was his pauperism, It was his beggary
Ho had to go home.
Some man comes and says to me: "Why
do you talk about tho ruined state of tho
human f-otil? why don't you speak about
tho progress of tho Xlucteuuth century,
and talk of something more oxhllaratiiigr"
It Is for this reasen: A man never wants
tho gospel until ho realizes ho Is in u fam
ine struck state. Suppose 1 should come
to you In your home mid you aro lu good,
sound, robust health, and I should begin
to talk about medicines, and about how
much better this medicine, is than that,
aud some other medicine than bomo other
medicine, nnd talk about this physician
and thut physician. After while jou
get Urol, nnd you would sayi "I don't
want to hear about medicines. Why do
you talk to me of physlclausf I never
Lave a doctor."
Hut suppose I coma Into your houso aud
1 11 nd you severely kick, and I kuow tho
medicines that will euro you, aud I kuow
tho physician who Is Bkillful enough to
meet your cao. You soys "Hrlng ou that
medicine, bring on that physician. I am
torribly sick, aud I want help," If I camo
to you aud you feel you are all right in
bofcr, and all right lu mlntr, aud all right
lu soul you havo need of nothing; but sun
poao I havo persuaded you that the
leprosy of sin U upon you, tho worst of nil
ulckuesit; oh, then you say: "Urlng niu that
balm of tho gospel; bring ma that divine
medicament; bring mo Jesus Christ,"
Uut says some one lu tho autltonce.
"How do you provo that we aro in it ruined
ooudttlou by luf" Well, 1 can provo it in
two ways, and you may have your choice
I can provo it by tho statements of meu or
by tbo statement of uod. w men shall it
bo f You all say, "Let us havo tho state
ment of God." Well, ho says lu ono place,
"The heart la deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked." Ho says lu another
place, "What Is mau thnt ho should be
clean f and ho which is born of a woman,
that be should bo rlghtoousr" lie say In
another place, "There Is uono that doeth
good, no, not one." Ho says In another
place, "As by one mau slu entvrvlh Into
tho world, and death by slu, nnd m
(kttth iiassed upou all men, for that
all havo sinned." "Wsll," you My. "I am
willing (o acknowledge that, but why
should take thu particular rescue that
you proposer" This Is the rfowju. 'Kx
eept a man bo bom again ho cannot ko the
kingdom of tiod" This U the reason,
"Thero is cue name given under heaven
among meu whuvby lliey may be wved."
Then there aron thousand voices here ready
to say, "Weill. I am ready to nceept thl
help of the Gospel, I would liko to havo
this divine cure, how shall I go to workf
Let mo say that a mere whim, an undo
fined longing amounts to nothing. You
must have n stout, tremendous resolution
like this young mau of the text when he
said. "I will arise and go to my father."
THE AllOl'SDINO MKItCT OF 000.
"Ohl" says kouio man, "how do I know
my father wants mer How do 1 kuow, if
I go back, I would bo received J" "Ohl"
ays some man, "you don't know wliere 1
havo bi'en, you don't know how far I have
wandered, you wouldn't talk that way to
me If you know all tho Iniquities I havo
committed." What Is that flutter among
tho angels of Godf It Is news. It Is newsl
Christ has found tho lost.
Nor angels can their Joy contain.
Bat kindle with new Are;
The sinner loot, is found, they sins.
And strike tho rounding lyre.
When Napoleon talked of going into
Italy, they said. "You cau't get there.
If you know what the Alps were you
wouldn't talk obout It or think of It
You can't get your ammunition wagons
over the Alps." Then Napoleon rose
In his stirrups and waving his hand to
ward the mountains, ho said, "There
shall bo no Alps." Thnt wonderful pass
was laid out wnicn uas ueen cue won
dcrment of all tho years since tho won
dorment of all engineers. And you
tell mo there aro such mountains of slu be
tween your soul nnd God, thero Is no
mercy. Then Ibco Christ waving his hand
toward the mountains. I hear him say,
"1 will cotno over the mountains of thy sin
nnd tho hills of thy Iniquity." There shall
bo no Pyrenees; thero shall be no Alps.
Again, I notice that this resolution of tho
young man of tho text wns founded In sor
row at his misbehavior. It was not mere
physical plight. It was grief that he had J
so maltreated his father. It is n sad thing
after a father has dono everything for a
child to havo that child bo ungrateful.
How sharper thnn a serpent's tooth, it is.
To havo a tbnnkluss child.
That Is Shakespeare. "A foolish son
is the heaviness of his mother." That Is
tho BIblo. Well, my friends, havo not
somo of us been cruel prodigals? Have wo
not maltreated our Father? And such a
Futherl So loving, so kind. If he had
been a stranger, If ho had forsaken us, if
ho had flagellated us, If ho had pounded
us and turned us out of doors on tho com
mons, It would not have been so wonderful
our treatment of him; but he Is n Father
bo loving, so kind, nnd yet how many of
us for our wanderings havo never apolo
gized. Wo opologizo for wrongs dono to
our follows, but some of us perhnps have
committed ten thousand times ten thou
sand wrongs against God nnd never apolo
gized. I remark still farther that this resolu
tion of tho text was founded In a feellug
of homesickness. 1 don't kuow how long
this young mau, how many months, how
mnny years ho had been away from his
father's house; but thero Is something in
tho reading of my text that makes mo
think ho was homesick. Somo of you
know what that feeling is. Far away from
homo sometimes, surrounded by every
thing bright and pleasant plenty of
friends you havo said. "I would glvo tho
world to ha homo tonight." Well, this
young man was homesick for ills fathors
houso. I havo no doubt when he thought
of ills father's houso ho said, "Now, per-
haps, father may not bo living."
WAS TriE PliODIOAL'S MOTHER DEAD?
Wo read nothing in this story this par
able founded on everyday life wo rend
nothing about the mother. It bays noth
ing nbout going homo to her. I think sho
wns dead. I thlukshehad died of a broken
heart at his wanderings. A man nevor
gets over having lost his mother. Noth
lug said about hor hero. But ho is homo
sick for his father's houso. Ho thought ho
would just liko to go and walk nrouud the
old placo. Ho thought ho would just liko
to go and seo If things were ns they used
to be. Many n man nfter hnvlng been off
a long while has gono homo nud knocked
nt tho door, nnd n strnnger has como. It
Is tho old homestead, but a stranger comes
to tho door Ho finds out father is gono
and mother is gono, and brothers nnd sis
ters all gono. I think this young man of
the text said to himself, "Perhaps fnther
may bo dead." Still he starts to find out.
Ho Is homesick. Aro tlioro nny hero today
homesick for God, homesick for heaven f
A sailor, nfter having been long on tho
sea, returned to his father's house, nud his
mother tried to persuade him uot to go
nwny again. Sho said: "Now you had bet
tor stay at homo. Don't go nway; wo
don't want you to go. You will have It n
great deal better here." lint it made him
nugry. Tho ulght before ho went nway
again to sen ho hoard his mother praying
In tho uoxt room, and that made him inoro
angry. Ho wont far out on tho sea nud u
storm came up, and ho wits ordered to very
perilous duty, aud ho ran up tho ratlines,
and nmfd the shrouds of tho ship ho heard
tho voice that ho bad heard lu tho next
room. He tried to whistle, it off, ho tried
to rally his courngo, but ho could uot
slleiico that voice ho had hoard In tho uoxt
room, ami thero In tho storm nud the dark
iieHi ho said; O Ijordl what a wretch I
hnvo been, whntn wretch I am. Help mo
Just now, lxird God." And I thought In
this assemblage today thoro may bo some
who may havo tho memory of a father's
petition or n mother's prayer pressing
mightily upon tho soul, nnd that this hour
they may muko tho samo resolution I flud
In my toxt, saying, "I will arlso nnd go to
my father."

I will tell you of two prodigals, tho one
that got back and the other that did not
get back. In Virginia thero is a very pros
porous aud beautiful homo in many re
spects. A young mau wandered off from
that homo. Ho wandered very far into slu.
Thoy heard of him often, but ho was al
ways ou tho wrong track. Ho would not
go homo. At tho door of that beautiful
homo ouo night there wns a great outcry.
The young man of the houso ran down nnd
opened tho door to seo what was tho mat-
tcr. It was midnight. Tho rest of the
w .... .
family were asleep. Thero wore tho wife
ftnj tho children of this prodigal young
man. Tho fact wns ho had como home and
driven them out. Ho said: "Out of this
house. Away with theso children, I will
dash their brains out. Out into the
storml"
Tho mother gathered them up nnd fled.
Tho next mornlug tho brothor, tho young
tnnn who had stayed at homo, went out to
find this prodigal brother and sou, and he
came where ho wns, nnd saw tho young
man wandering up and down in front of
tho placo where ho had been staying, and
tho young man who had kept his integrity
said to tho older brether: "Hero, what does
oil this mean? What Is tho matter with
you? Why do you act in this way?" Tho
prodigal looked at him and said: "Who am
l? Who do you tako me to bo?" Ho said,
"You are my brother." "No, 1 am not; 1
am a brute. Havo you seen anything of
my wifo aud children? Aro they dead? 1
drove them out lost ulght lu tho storm. 1
am a brute. John, do you thluk there Is
any help for mo? Do you think I will over
get over this life of dissipation?" Ho said,
"Brother, thero is just ono thing thnt will
stop this." Tho prodigal ran his finger
across his throat nud said: "That will stop
It, nud I'll stop it before night. Ohl my
brain; I can stand It no longer." That
prodigal never got home. But I will tell
you of a prodigal that did get home.
TWO ItAN AWAt, UUT ONE ItETUKNEU.
In England two young men started from
their father's houso nnd weut Mown to
Fortsmonth, Tho father could not pursue
his children; for somo reason ho could not
leavo home, nnd so ho wroto n letter down
to Mr. Grlllln, saying: "Mr. Grlfllu, I wish
you would go nnd seo my two sons. Thoy
hnvo arrlvod In Portsmouth, and thoy are
going to take Bhlp and going away from
homo. I wish you would persuade them
baok." Mr. Grlllln went and ho tried to
persuado them b.tck. Ho persuaded ono to
go. Ho went with very easy persuasion
because ho was very homesick already
Tho other young man said: "I will not go.
I have had onnugh of homo. I'll never go
homo." "Well," said Mr. Grlflln, "theu If
you won't go home, I'llgotyoun respectable
position ou n rospectablo ship." "No you
won't," said tho prodigal; "No you won't.
I am going as a common sailor; that will
plaguo my father most, and what will do
most to tantalize and worry him will please,
mo best."
Years passed ou, and Mr. Grlflln was
seated In his study ouo day wheu a mes
sage camo to him that thero was a young
man in Irons ou a ship at tho dock a
young man condemned to death who
wished to see this clergyman. Mr. Grlflln
weut down to the dock and went ou sliliv

don't know me, do you?" "No," ho said;
"I dou't know you." "Why, don't you ro
momber that youiig mau you tried toier
suado to go homo, and ho wouldu't go?"
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Grlflln. "Are you tha

Mr. Grlfllu weut from Judicial authority
to Judicial authority to get the young

' Ho went from influential person to liitiu
eullal person until somo way he got that

The Introduction of tho style of riding on
horseback side saddle is attributed to Anna
of Bohemia, consort of Richard II. She it
was, according to Stowo, who originally
showed tho women of England how grace
fully and conveniently they might ride on
horseback sideways. Another historian,
enumerating tho now fashions of Richard
II's reign, ebserves:
"Likewise noblo ladies then used high
heads, and corsets and robes with long
trains, nnd scats on sldo saddles on their
horses, by tho cxamplo of the respectable
Queen Anuii, daughter of tho king of Bo
hernia, who II rat introduced the custom
into tho kingdom, for before women of

picture of Chaucer's "Canterbury Pil
grims," appears, according to the above
quoted authorities, to havo committed an
nnachronism in placing tho most couspicu
ous female character of his lino compos
tion sideways ou her steed. Thnt tho lady
ought to have been depicted riding the
male fashion might havo been Inferred,
without nny historical research on the sub
Ject, from tho poot's describing her as hav
lug on hor feet "a pair of spurres sharpo.''

The Great Sun DraRou.
It is the belief among both tho Ignorant
nnd tho educated classes of China that
eclipses of the sun nro caused by a great
dragon which nttempu to devour the cen
ter of our solar system. Ah eclipso which
was visible in tho Celestial empire occurred
at a time when the peoplo were celebrating
tho birthday of tho emporor. Now, It Is
tho custom to colebrato such au bvent clad
In the best raiment that cau be afforded,
It is also customary to wear sackcloth and
go luto mourning at the time of au eclipse,
at least until the sun has been rescued
from tho great dragon which mka to de
vour It. Hero, Indeed, wns n dilemma. At
last tho emperor was petitioned. He be
ing as superstitious as his people, ordered
his birthday ignored and commanded tho
neonle to go into mourning until the sun
shall bo "resoiied." St. Louis Republic.

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo., during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach aud Womb, aud
writes: "My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning wiicn j. kul ui' x "
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I ha'd
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a -wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and is work
ing a complete cure."
